Capítulo 14 de 18 · 4'00"
A newlywed couple talks about a baby who might need a home. One says he would say yes if it came to that, then undercuts it with a doubt: "But wouldn't it be a mistake to twist the timing?" The scene turns on the reply - "What if we're hers?"

❝ Monólogo · 3 frases What If We're Hers?
This is the scene where Norman and Rita, just married, imagine adopting a baby who may need a family. One of them says that if the baby ever needed a home, and they felt in their soul they were meant to be the parents, they would say yes. But they also ask whether twisting the timing would be a mistake, and wonder, "What if we're hers?"
The marriage matters to the argument. Norman hesitates to speak because he does not want to upset Rita, and she cuts that off at once: "We can say anything to each other." From there the scene becomes a test of two ideas about faith and timing. Norman's version is generous - "I believe that would be a miracle that we would have to say yes to" - while the harder question is whether reaching for that miracle means forcing it: "But wouldn't it be a mistake to twist the timing?" The scene refuses to settle the debate, ending instead on a reframing that flips the whole search around: "What if we're hers?" It is less about whether they will adopt a baby than about being the kind of people who would say yes.

literary
Just out there... alone in the wind... holding on to that rock, just trying to survive. Or maybe the rock was holding on to it.
If her baby ever needed a family-- tomorrow, next week, or whenever-- and I knew in my soul that we were supposed to be her parents, then... well, I believe that would be a miracle that we would have to say yes to.

They do not settle it. They agree they would say yes if a child needed a family, then question whether twisting the timing would be a mistake.
It flips the search: instead of the child being their miracle, they wonder whether they are the family she needs - the answer she has been looking for.
Oliver's old Sunday school teacher, the woman who taught him when to hold on and when to let go.
