*Repeat as necessary to cover dialogue

LILLY: And no, we didn't plan to have Josh, but ... all it took was one strange, unanticipated night -- the emergence of a kind of passion that had hardly existed after Jarod was born. Fuelled by too much whiskey and the fact that the other women weren't around to keep my husband preoccupied....
