How come we go to the gynecologist so often?Knocked Up · 2007 — Capítulo 6 de 12 · 2'39" · C1
Thrown Out of the Car, Explained: at this juncture
What starts as a complaint about Pete becomes a fight over whether a break-in that found fantasy baseball was funny or selfish. "You know, you should just support everything I say because at this juncture in my life, I'm allowed to be wrong!" Loyalty, not the ball game, is what they are really fighting about.
Qué pasa
In a car, talk jumps from a gynecologist's machine to Pete. One person calls it one of the most selfish things they have witnessed. The other finds the break-in funny: they expected a woman and found nerds playing fantasy baseball, and claims to understand where Pete is coming from. A demand for total support and a fight about sacrifice follow, until someone is ordered out of the car.

What's really going on
The fight pretends to be about Pete. One person will not drop how selfish he was. The reply softens the charge with "I would say," then asks for a laugh: they broke into a stranger's house expecting a woman and found "a bunch of nerds playing fantasy baseball." That asks someone to treat the night as a joke. The joke is rejected. "Why do guys always go to that place?" dismisses male camaraderie as a reason nobody else has to care about. What remains is a demand: "you should just support everything I say because at this juncture in my life, I'm allowed to be wrong." A list of sacrifices follows, and an offer to pay is met with "You can barely buy spaghetti." "I own this car" is enough to put someone out in the middle of nowhere, and the door stays shut until they are asked whether they have calmed down.
Theme

You know, you should just support everything I say because at this juncture in my life, I'm allowed to be wrong!A demand, not a confession. This stage of life is offered as the reason the other person should support every word, including the wrong ones.
I've had to sacrifice my job, my body, my youth, my vagina!The counter to "You haven't sacrificed anything." Work, body, youth, and the body itself are named as real costs, not a figure of speech.
Well. Fine. I'm sorry, I'll pay for vaginal reconstructive surgery.An offer made right after "It will never look the same." They apologize and volunteer to pay for surgery. The next line says they can barely buy spaghetti.
You can't pay for shit! You can barely buy spaghetti!The surgery offer is dismissed on the spot. Spaghetti stands in for having almost no money, so the promise to pay cannot be taken seriously.
Have you calmed down? Did you take a breath?The condition for getting back in the car. Someone asks to be let in, and the reply checks whether they have calmed down and taken a breath.
Preguntas sobre esta escena
Why does someone get ordered out of the car?
The row has already left Pete behind. One person demands support for every word, even the wrong ones, and lists sacrifices the other person denies. Once an offer to pay is answered with "You can't pay for shit! You can barely buy spaghetti!" the lines that follow are "Get out of the car" and "I own this car." The person told to leave refuses to get out in the middle of nowhere. Ownership is the reason given.
What did they expect to find in the stranger's house?
A woman. "We break into this stranger's house thinking we're gonna find him sleeping with a woman, and it's a bunch of nerds playing fantasy baseball." One side thinks you would laugh if you saw that on television. The other calls it one of the most selfish things they have ever witnessed.
Why does someone say they are allowed to be wrong?
It is the justification for a demand, not an apology for one mistake. The line is "you should just support everything I say because at this juncture in my life, I'm allowed to be wrong." They want every statement backed, and they do not want to be told they are acting like a lunatic.
What happens to the offer to pay for surgery?
"I'll pay for vaginal reconstructive surgery" follows "It will never look the same after this." The reply is "You can't pay for shit! You can barely buy spaghetti!" The offer is rejected for lack of money, and the fight moves on to getting out of the car.
Why does male camaraderie come up?
Someone is explaining the man they went looking for. Once a guy has a family and responsibility, he loses that male camaraderie, and the line is "I totally understand where he's coming from." The other person rejects the excuse: "Why do guys always go to that place?" and "Why do I give a shit?"
