Lost in Parenthood.
Lost in Translation was a fantastic movie for a lot of reasons, but this bit of dialogue was particularly poignant.
Bob: It gets a whole lot more complicated when you have kids.Fucking exactly. I'm thinking one of Sofia Coppola's friends or family said something similar to her and she used it in the movie. That, or she is the most insightful writer around, as I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any kids.
Charlotte: It's scary.
Bob: The most terrifying day of your life is the day the first one is born.
Charlotte: Nobody ever tells you that.
Bob: Your life, as you know it ... is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk ... and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.
