Narrator: Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse. [Harry takes his first look at Matilda, grunts, and leaves] Narrator: Most parents believe their children are the most beautiful creatures ever to grace the planet. Others take a less emotional approach. [Harry and Zinnia are leaving the hospital with the baby] Harry Wormwood: What a waste of time! Zinnia Wormwood: And painful! Harry Wormwood: And expensive, $9.25 for a bar of soap? Zinnia Wormwood: Well I had to take a shower, Harry! Harry Wormwood: $5,000? I’m not paying it. What’re they going to do, repossess the kid
