麗奈特:“男人與產后抑郁,痛苦的種子”,好吧,我才不信咧!你有沒妊娠紋,有沒乳頭裂傷?有的話,再來談你的產后抑郁。
湯姆:這是很正常的一種病癥,而且是你要我去看醫生的呀!
Lynette: So what did the doctor say?
Tom: You're gonna wanna sit down.
Lynette: Tom,you are scaring me. What is it?
Tom: I have postpartum depression.
Lynette: Come again?
Tom:I know it sounds weird,b- But it's-it's-it's a recognized problem for fathers my age. I've got all the classic symptoms-headaches,mood swings, fatigue.
Lynette: Tell me,did he check you for a yeast infection while he was down there, too?
Tom: Why don't you learn the facts before you make fun of it?
Lynette: "Men and postpartum:The bitter seed." Yeah,I'm... not buying it. Show me one stretch mark,one chapped nipple, and we'll talk about your postpartum.
Tom: It's a legitimate medical condition. And you're the one who told me to go to the doctor.
Lynette: So you could be of some use around here, not so you could,uh...oh,"take long baths or get in some extra naps"?
Tom: Do me a favor. Read the whole pamphlet.
Lynette: Gosh,I wish I could,tom. Unfortunately,I have to go take care of my other baby.
