Christina: There is no deeper reason.
Owen: There has to be.
Christina: There is no deeper reason. I wasn't abused. I don't have a dark secret. I wasn't mugged by a baby. I just don't want kids.
Owen: Nobody doesn't want kids.
Christina: People can not want kids. It's a thing.
Owen: That is not a thing.
Christina: Well, it's MY thing.
Owen: You're going to change your mind. You're going to change your mind in three years or five. You're going to change your mind about having a baby and then it's going to be too late and you're gonna regret it.
Christina: And I will know and understand that I made a choice. I choose medicine. I choose me. I choose that over the remote possibility that I might one day regret not having a child. And by the way, its all right to never want kids. Some people don't ever want kids.
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

You just aren’t a nice guy. You’re a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious...
