Kate: I did everything that I was supposed to do. I didn’t cry in meetings. I didn’t wear short skirts. I put up with the weird upper management guys that kiss you on the mouth at Christmas. Is it fair that to be the youngest VP in my company, I will be the oldest mom at preschool? Not really, but that’s part of the deal. I made a choice. Some women got pregnant, I got promotions. And I still aspire to meet someone and fall in love and get married, but that is a very high-risk scenario. And I want a baby now, I’m 37.

Kate: I have applied for adoption, yes.
Rose:Kate, please don’t get a black baby.
Kate:Well, I don’t think we’ll have to worry about that, because for a single woman, it can take about five years to get an adoption.
Rose: I’ve just had it with all these movie stars showing off, “look at me and my black baby.”
Kate: Kill me. I want you to stab me with something.

Chaffee: I started this business because I saw a growth market. We don’t do our taxes anymore, we don’t program our computers, we outsource. And what is surrogacy if not outsourcing?
Kate: Wait, you’re not saying my baby would be carried by some poor, underpaid women in the third world?
Chaffee: No. [Pause.] We’re also expensive. Our fee is $100,000.
Kate: It costs more to have someone born than to have someone killed!
Chaffee: It takes longer.
---
Chaffee: But Kate, you must remember that a surrogate is not your employee but your partner.
Angie: Yeah, Kate, we’re partners, like Tom and Jerry.
Kate: Tom and Jerry hate each other.
Angie: What? They love each other, what show are you watching?
Kate: They are a cat and a mouse!
Angie: They have so much fun with each other!

凱特：我做了所有我應該做的──我沒有在會議上哭，我沒有穿短裙，我忍受在聖誕節與那些奇怪的高層男主管們親嘴。我是公司裡最年輕的副總裁，卻是幼稚園裡最老的媽媽，這公平嗎？也許不，不過這是交易的一部分，是我做的決定。有些女人選擇懷孕，而我選擇升職。我依舊很嚮往認識某人，墜入愛河並結婚，但那是一個很冒險的方案。我現在想要生一個寶寶，我已經37歲了。

凱特：是的，我有去申請領養小孩。
蘿絲：凱特，拜託你不要領養黑人小孩。
凱特：我想你不需要擔心，因為單身女性可能要等個五年才有機會領養小孩。
蘿絲：我只是受夠那些電影明星炫耀他們領養的小孩，「看看我和我的黑人寶寶。」
凱特：殺了我，拜託你給我一刀吧。

夏菲：我開始做這行因為我看到快速成長的市場──我們不再自己報稅，也不必自己設計電腦程式，我們找人外包，而代理孕母不也是外包的一種？
凱特：等等，你該不是說我的寶寶要由第三世界中工資過低的貧窮女人孕育吧？
夏菲：不。〔停頓一陣〕我們要價也十分昂貴，費用是十萬美金。
凱特：生一個人竟然比雇用殺手殺人的費用更加高昂！
夏菲：生小孩花的時間比較長。
---
夏菲：但是凱特，你要記住，代理孕母不是你的員工，而是你的夥伴。
安琪：是啊！凱特，我們是夥伴，就像湯姆與傑利一樣。
凱特：湯姆與傑利彼此互相憎恨。
安琪：亂講！牠們多愛彼此，你到底是看哪齣卡通？
凱特：牠們是貓與老鼠耶！
安琪：你看牠們一起玩得多快樂啊！
