Tyler: " Ya but she didn't gave me a chance . I know . . . . . . . I always liked the idea of becoming a father . Having someone to take care of . But I knew that Mindy never wanted a child . And I respected her decision . I mean after all she is . . . . . . . I mean she ' was ' . . . . . . . I would have have given anything for her but she thought that she was the only clever one . "
Clara: " You would have accepted her decision to abort the child . "
Tyler: " I mean did I wanted the child . . . . . . . yes . This abortion would have been painful for me ? . . . . . for sure but I would have . I wanted to be with her . . . . . . . I loved her but now . . . . . . . "
