"But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree" - a human life
"don't believe the florist when he tells the roses are free" - don't believe your gynecologist when he tells you having a baby and enjoying your lives are without cost
"Push it into third (trimester) if you know you're gonna climb the hill (having the child)"
