What happens when a guy is becoming a father? The hormone testosterone is going down and the hormone prolactin is going up in the male brain, because he is smelling the pheromones of his pregnant wife. Prolactin is the hormone in females that makes breast milk. We don't know what it's doing in males yet. We assume it has something to do with making the daddy-brain circuits. By the time the baby is born, he's able to hear infant cries much better. So something about his auditory-perceptual system has actually changed. His sex drive...
Craig Robinson’s Nick, married in the present day, is also a very funny character, especially during a cocaine-fueled recap of the “Terminator” series or in a lewd phone call to his then nine-year-old wife.

Igor Yegorov was there to look for his wife. "She went to work as usual this morning, and I can't reach her. Hopefully it's just that the cell-phone networks are down. But I don't know," he says, pale and shaking as he waited to check the hospital list. By late afternoon, the flow of ambulances to the hospital had stopped, and service had been restored to the rest...
