Quote from Dr. Cox in My Long Goodbye
Dr. Cox: I'm not telling anyone that my daughter has been born. Jordan: But you just told Jordan that you gonna. Dr. Cox: Yes, and that's what we call a lie, or when you're married communication. Come on, Newbie, you and I both know Laverne is not gonna be around a whole lot longer. And I know this reasoning is about as rational as your parents actually thinking they could raise you as a boy, but... I don't want the birth of my child to be forever associated with her death. That's why I'm not gonna tell anybody anything until after she passes.
