On the deli aisle bit: I agree with sj_sands, it's more metaphorical than anything. And I think it ties in with her use of "baby" - seriously, who hasn't seen a kid burst into tears at the store? She's saying it's ok if he needs to let out emotion (even at the most ordinary times, like kids do) That's why she says "You're not a baby if you feel the world. All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry." I took it as another reference to him being a bit closed off from the world, and her telling him it's ok to be more emotive and such, not to be so... stoic perhpas? Hm, hope that makes sense.
