Born in an Elevator: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* Fairly narrowly averted in the very beginning of ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh!|Kyo Kara Maoh]]''. The scene (a warm conversation about baby names in the back of a taxi) is given without a shred of context; we work out who the principle players were in subsequent episodes, and see the scene again, de-blurred and with a lot more context, a long while later in a flashback episode.

** They did get to the hospital in time, probably because Conrad had the forethought to be in a taxi when he approached Miko-chan. One may still infer that he was prepared to do this; in fact he brings up his presence at Wolfram's birth to reassure Miko. (And his language is vague enough that [[Cloudcuckoolander|she replies]] 'your brother [[Mister Seahorse|had a baby]]?!')

*** It ''was'' forethought, ~~too--he~~'d probably been stalking her for weeks in case this or similar was necessary. That baby's going to be '''''his King''''', dammit!

** Amusingly, until context filled itself in, this scene lent itself to the easy assumption that Conrad was Yuuri's ''father''.

*** [[Squick|...and they're the most popular pairing among Japanese fans.]]

Line 30:

* Occurred in ''[[The Young and The Restless]]'', with Jack delivering Phyllis's baby girl (the father was Nick).

* Happened in ''[[Early Edition]]''. The power goes off, and Chuck and some pregnant lady are trapped in an elevator. Chuck, unfortunately, has a weak stomach and passes out. Gary goes down the elevator shaft, delivers the baby and leaves, leaving Chuck with the lady and her baby when the elevator doors finally open after everything gets working, making Chuck look like the hero.

* ''[[Night Court]]''. When Public Defender Christine Sullivan is pregnant but insists on working regardless, the others plan "Operation Stork" ~~-- a~~ ridiculous [[Crazy Prepared]] scenario should she suddenly go into labour. Unfortunately they forgot to include the elevator in their preparations.
