Text

Start: Life is a negotiation, Harriet. You think the women who go back to work at thirty-six are going to have the same career as a woman who has been there since her twenties? You think someone who has a baby and leaves it after two weeks to go back to work is going to have the same relationship with that child as someone who has been there all along?

[.. ... ..]

End: Yes, baby, everything did take work; but it was worthwhile. I never dreamed I’d be this successful. And I have a perfectly lovely daughter. Baby, I have a full, rich life.
