'You wanna make a baby?'


What a ridiculous line. They literally just kissed for the first time and he's asking her that. That has literally never happened in the history of life.

Was gonna post the same thing

For us the audience, we know she is gonna have her baby, but in the context of the scene it sounds really horny

Given what they've been through, and shared, and experienced together, the proposition does not seem all that unreasonable. Also, given that he may have some fledgling understanding of tetrapodese, he may intuitively (I use that term guardedly) believe this is what she actually wants... which, as it happens, it is.

That was heard at the end like you wrote, but the flashback was them, living in each other in the kitchen (when she had the wine and they were dancing)
That’s when he asked, NOT when they were in the field outside the craft.

reply

This! I even knew this when I watched this for the first time tonight. I knew it wasn't at the field, but in the kitchen...she was just having those future memories at the same time.

That is correct. Still a cheesy line to end a mediocre film.
