"Fools! Beaurocratic fools!" Indy said as he stormed down the steps of the City Hall building.
Marion had to scurry down the steps quickly to keep alongside him. "What'd they say?" She frantically asked while holding her hat to stop it from flying off her head.
"They don't know what they've got there," Indy replied angrily.
Marion looked at Indy and beamed brightly. "Well I know what I've got here. Come on, buy you a drink." She said flirtily through her red lipstick. Indy only looked down at this, the brim of his hat covering his handsome face. Marion touched the tip of her finger to the hat and brought his eyes to hers. "You know, a drink?"
Indy smiled sheepishly and gave her his arm. Together, they walked down the City Hall steps to a local bar down the street.

"They just don't know the power of what they're dealing with," Indy said. That made him remember what Marion had said on the steps. "By the way, Mare, what did you mean by theat corny phrase, ' I know what I've got here' ?" Indy teased, this actually bringing a smile to his face.
Marion smiled, embarrassed. Her cheeks were a little red. "Well, I, uh... It was corny, wasn't it. Now I'm kinda embarrassed." She replied.
"You avoiding the question?" Indy banterred.
"No, It's not that, it's just-" She bit her lip.
"Well, what do ya got here?" He demanded.
"A baby," She finally blurted out, quite serious.
"Ha ha ha," he chuckled. Then he realized by look on her face and by the tone of her voice that she wasn't kidding. "Wha? You actually mean-?" He asked, his eyes wide.
Marion took a deep breath and exhaled quickly. "Indy," She started, looking him truthfully in his wide, brown eyes. "You're gonna be a father."
