Part 1: Happy News!
QB: Hey Dhani.
D: Hey, Queen Beth.
QB: (sits down) I have bad news and good news. Which do you want
first?
D: (looking scared) Ummmm, bad.
QB: You will very soon lose your freedom.
D: Ummm, what and why?
QB: (very quickly) Then we're on to the good news, which is...
(silence)
D: What is it?
QB: Aly's pregnant! And this time for real, not like the time she had
that nightmare about having 20 kids and woke up...
D: Oh my god, really?
QB: Congrats!
D: Well, where's Aly?
QB: Coming home from the doctors'; she called from her cell phone.
D: Oh. ...Wow. A baby. I guess that's worth losing my freedom for.
QB: Oh. My. God. You actually got my joke.
D: Um... Yeah, so?
QB: (walking out of the room) Our little Dhani-Hani-Boy is growing up.
D: My name's John.
QB: (stops) Whoa. Wait till the others hear about this! Dhani
actually wants to be called by his real first name! (laughs and leaves)
D: Whoa. A baby.
(Aly returns from doctor's office)
A: Hi darling. (She looks REALLY tired)
D: C'mere. (Opens his arms)
(A sits in his lap & leans against his chest)
D: So... A baby, huh?
A: Mmm hmmm.
D: And this time it's for real?
A: Would I lie about this?
D:You pulled a stunt last year...
A: It was April Fools' Day. And huh, boy did you play the fool then!
D: (Red with embarrassment) I remember that.
A: You know, I wondered how you'd react to this news.
D: You know I've always wanted to be a daddy.
A:Yeah, I know. But after having that twenty-tuplets dream...
D: Yeah. Are you sure it's only one?
A: So far.
D: Eep.
