Vincent (to Maxine): I just found this letter of acceptance for Dad. Why didn't he go to Yale Medical School?
The week your father was accepted, we found out I was pregnant with Peter.
So Dad quit his dreams and went into the insurance business?
No, he didn't quit his dreams, he traded them for a different one. Your father was a pragmatist, Vincent and he loved his family very much.
So he wanted a family more than medical school?
Yes. When we had Amy, I figured perfect one boy, one girl, now we have our family, but your father wanted one more. He finally talked me into it.
So you never wanted me?
Just in the abstract, dear.
