All.

John is filmed in front of a live studio
audience.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

So,

Ralph, how's the job search going?

Will you get off my back?

Why don't you just say it?

I'm a failure.

Why don't you just give me an old wine
bottle and a paper bag and tell me to go

sit out on the curb?

Nice going, John.

to stick some electrodes under his
fingernails.

It's bamboo under your fingernails?

Oh, yeah?

Ms. Expert?

And how many times have you been worked
over by the Ayatollah's boys?

Any of you! How many times have your
cries echoed in the night as you were

worked over by a team of sweaty, swarthy
men?

Not as often as I'd like.

I tell you what, forget I asked, all
right?

I think now might be an opportune time
for a break. Shall we say...

noticeable by the week. Noticeable? Try
obvious.

I'll say.

We should probably say something. We've
got to say something. How can we not say

something? Damn right.

About what?

Uh, Ralphie, have you not noticed that
Louise's stomach is, well, uh... Uh,

grown rather dramatically over the past
few weeks? No, Ralph.

Oh, that.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

As friends, we should say something to
Louise.

whether she likes it or not.

Whether I like what or not?

Come now.

You know it's not polite to talk behind
one's back.

You're absolutely right, Louise.

The truth is, we couldn't help noticing
that you're really fat.

I mean, just look at the way you've let
yourself go.

lines of rumor.

You're bulging out of your clothes. And
all because you just can't seem to stop

stuffing your face.

I can see there's no sense in denying it
any longer. Yes, I'm pregnant.

What? Oh, no. I don't believe it.

Who would have guessed?

You're very polite not to have mentioned
it sooner, considering the way I look.

Oh, no, no, no, Louise.

Louise, really, it's, uh, barely.

Noticeable. Yeah, right. I mean, John's
right. Louise, you hardly show.

So, what does the doctor say? Triplets?

Look,

Louise, if you'd really rather not talk
about it... No, no, no. I'm delighted to

talk about it. I've been wondering over
the last few weeks how to broach the

subject.

Kate, Kate, it's the most thrilling and
exciting thing that's ever happened to

me. I'm sorry, excuse me, but a
question...

Pops to mind here, you being with child
and all, in other words, the knock -up

E. I was just wondering if you would
share with us the identity of

Mr. Humpty Dumpty. Oh, come on.

Please. Could you possibly be any more
insensitive?

What? I mean, we're talking about a
fairly important individual here, right?

father of this woman's child. I fail to
see anything insensitive in inquiring as

to who that might be.

Assuming you've been able to narrow it
down. Oh, come on.

Would you knock it off? It's all right.

His name is Richard. We dated for a
couple of months.

Oh, well, how did you two meet?

He came in to lay my carpet. One word
and I staple your tongue to your shoe.

Uh, Louise, may I ask you a question?
And I hope that you don't think this is

too personal.

Was this deep pile or shag?

Louise, Louise, if you don't mind my
asking, what does the father have to say

about all this?

He doesn't know I'm pregnant.

We broke up a while ago, and I haven't
spoken to him since.

Well, Louise, Louise, when do you plan
on telling him? I don't see any reason

tell him.

Knowing Richard, I have a guess that
he'd be far happier not knowing.

No, wait a minute, wait a minute.

this man got you pregnant and you're not
even going to tell him? I've been

looking for a woman like this all my
life.

Now, listen, I'll tell you one thing I
sure would want to know. What you do

know? No, I mean, if I was the father of
Louise's child.

You mean there's a chance you could
be... Now, Louise, you see, I'm saying

don't have to make a big production out
of it. I mean, all you have to do is

just call him up and tell him you'll
meet him for a drink tomorrow afternoon

the bar around the corner. I mean, and
simply...

Tell him. John, I'm afraid it's not as
simple as that.

I'm sure it isn't, but I'm just saying,
speaking for myself, if there was a

child of mine out there, or in there, I
sure as hell wouldn't want to know

myself.

You know, Louise, I must say, I have to
agree with John.

Father has a right to know.

Look, it isn't as if I haven't given
this long and careful thought. Believe

I have.

And I'm afraid... I've made up my mind,
and there's nothing that anyone in this

room could say that would sway me in the
least. And I agree with you 100%.

I'll call him right now.

It isn't very crowded in here, is it?

No, ma 'am. Good.

the way I want it. I'm meeting someone.

That's nice.

John!

What are you doing here at two o 'clock
in the afternoon?

Oh, Louise, there you are.

I, uh, I was, uh, I was, um...

I just thought I'd come down here and be
with you in case you needed somebody.

That's very sweet of you, dear, but are
you sure you're not also here because

your curiosity got the better of you?
Oh, come on, Louise. Who could be that

nosy that would intrude upon a private
moment like this?

This is wonderful.

Just perfect.

Why don't we just ask the couple over
there to join us, too?

I don't mind if we do.

You know how persuasive Tom can be.

No, we really just came down here
because we care about you. Yeah, yeah,

and okay, maybe we are a little curious
about this guy.

So why don't you sit down?

So, uh, have you decided what you're
going to say yet?

It's difficult. I'll have to choose my
words very carefully.

Have you thought about saying it? in
verse... I beg your pardon?

Well, I took it upon myself to prepare a
short poem that I thought might be

appropriate for this occasion.

The cause of my condition could be many
and myriad, but it's been eight months

since I had my last...

It's just

the first draft.

John. Hey, everybody.

I'm sorry about my appearance. I just
came from a really tough job.

Been on my hands and knees all morning
wrestling with the Persian.

Believe me, honey, I've been there.

Yes.

Thank you, Mrs. Filbert.

Listen, actually, we were just leaving.
Yeah, we got to... We were?

Yes, Ralph.

Yes, we were. You know, we have to go to
that thing.

You know, Ralph, at that place? Yeah,
you know, with... Those guys?

What are you talking about?

Ralphie, we're trying to pretend we've
got to do something so Richard doesn't

think we're just here to spy on him.

We have to go to that place to do that
thing with those guys.

You understand.

Yes, I'm sure he does, yes.

Nice to meet you, Richard.

Nice to meet you.

So, surprised to hear from you. I was
afraid you'd forgotten all about me.

No, and I have a feeling I never will.

You haven't changed a bit.

Oh, I don't know.

So what's new?

This is.

You're not talking about the dress, are
you?

I didn't call you because I wanted to
involve you or make any claims on you

money or anything else. I... I just
thought you had the right to know.

all.

I don't believe this.

There's no doubt about it.

All right!

Drinks for everybody!

Okay, drinks for us, then. But none for
you, because pregnant ladies shouldn't

drink. Okay, drinks for me, then.

What am I talking about? I don't drink.
Cancel the drinks.

This is wonderful. This is the best news
I've ever had. I cannot wait to call my

parents. Richard, are you sure that they
need to know?

You don't expect me to wait and tell
them to them at our wedding, do you?

Wedding? We've got a million things to
do in a hurry. We've got to plan the

honeymoon. We've got to choose the vows.
We've got to find the minister.

You hear that, little guy? Your mom and
dad are getting married.

interview today.

It's from an ad I found in the
classifieds.

It was in Manhattan.

23rd Street between 6th and 7th.

So, Ralph, how did it go?

with Richard Goh.

Sorry, Louise. What did you say?

Excuse me.

Does anyone understand what she's
saying? Yeah, I do. She said...

I don't think she's exactly happy about
this.

Well, how can I be happy? I can't marry
him. It's out of the question. I mean,

we have nothing in common and very
little to talk about. And most

importantly, I'm just not in love with
him.

Well, if you're going to look for
reasons... Louise, Louise,

how did he take the news?

get around to telling him.

What? Why not?

Well, he was... He was so excited. I
didn't know how to break it to him.

Well, Louise, what's the rush? You know,
why don't you just let the baby grow up

and then have the kid tell him?

Oh.

Louise, uh... Obviously, Louise, you're
gonna have to let him know.

He's such a dear, sweet boy. How can I
break his heart? I mean, I couldn't even

bring myself to tell him that the carpet
he put in for me is curling up.

be able to handle it better than you
think.

Well, he's pretty committed. He's even
picked out a rug for the nursery.

A burba.

With bunnies.

Listen, Louise, I would like to say
something.

Whatever happens between you and
Richard, I just want you to know that

comes to that baby, you're not going to
be alone in this. And I think I speak

for everyone when I say...

that we're going to be here for you,
Louise. Absolutely.

Thank you very much.

And if you need a Lamaze coach, that's
wonderful, Katie. And as far as

babysitting goes, Louise, any night you
say. That goes for me, too. That's very

sweet of you.

And someone should throw a baby shower
for you. Yeah.

Hey, what do you say? Tomorrow afternoon
at my place.

No,

no, no, I insist.

Four o 'clock tomorrow, is that good for
everybody? Yeah. Well, I'd have to

cancel my Swedish massage.

But no problem.

I'll give it to you on Sunday.

This one's from Kurt.

What is it, Louise?

Oh, a thousand and one names for your
baby. Thank you, dear. Well, I figured,

you know, naming a kid can be tricky,
so... You know what my parents wanted to

call me?

Stranger?

Oh, it's a gift certificate for three
-month rental on a video camera.

Just in case you wanted to videotape the
birth.

That's very thoughtful.

Thank you very much.

When I have a kid, I'm going to
videotape the conception.

You know, I look forward to it.

I love short subjects.

Ralph, you mentioned the gang was
throwing a shower for you.

Yeah, I got all kinds of great stuff. Of
course, we don't know what we're

having, so I had to get a little of
everything. I got this big bear.

And you can't go wrong with bears,
right?

Well, you know, unless, of course, you
scare the bear. In that case, I got him

this little bear.

That way he can work his way up to the
big bear.

In case he doesn't like bears at all, I
got him this giraffe.

He doesn't like giraffes. Of course, he
might not be a him, he might be a her,

but I got it covered. I got this doll.
It walks, it talks, it laughs, and it

cries when it sees the bear.

Richard, the doctor says we're going to
have a boy.

A boy? All right, a boy!

It just keeps getting better. I always
wanted to have a son.

I got some more stuff for him down the
truck.

Goodness. Hey, I am so excited. You
know, I was thinking, why wait? Let's

married tomorrow.

Forget tomorrow. Let's get married this
afternoon.

Richard, please stop.

You and I have to have a little talk.

Okay.

We'd like to talk private. Oh, yes. Why
don't we just... Perhaps

a tad more private?

Yes. Why don't we go downstairs and
bring up the rest of the gifts?

Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.

We'll be right back.

Okay.

Oh, remember that thing we did at that
place with those guys?

We gotta do it again.

You don't understand. There really are
gifts.

Oh!

So,

how you feeling?

How's my little baby?

But, Richard, you and I have something
we have to discuss.

In a minute. Just let me listen to the
baby first.

Oh.

Something going on down there.

Yes. I had the burrito supreme for
lunch.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's a baby. I
can hear it moving around in there.

Richard, please get up.

I've got something very important I want
to tell you.

Don't go away.

What is it, sweetheart?

Richard, you're a wonderful man. You're
sensitive, attractive,

industrious, and you know more about
carpeting than any man I've ever met.

You mean that?

With all my heart.

You hear that? That's your old man she's
talking about.

Richard, please listen to me.

Um, I can't marry you.

What are you talking about?

Think about it. We have nothing in
common.

We barely know each other. I mean, for
instance, what color are my eyes?

Green.

What's my middle name?

Claire.

What's my favorite song?

Stardust.

Well, there's more that goes into
marriage than knowing one's eye color,

name, and favorite song.

Honey, what's this all about?

I'm not in love with you. And I think if
you really thought about it, you'd

realize you're not in love with me. If
we were, we'd never have stopped seeing

each other in the first place.

Yeah.

I guess I just wanted to do the right
thing.

My mother always used to say, if you get
a girl pregnant, you have to marry her.

Well, I'm sure she was just trying to
teach you responsibility.

She wasn't talking to me. She was
talking to my father.

So you understand?

I guess so.

What about the baby?

Who's going to teach him to ride a bike?
Who's going to take him to the ball

games? Who's going to talk to him about
girls?

Well, you are.

You don't have to be my husband to be
this child's father.

I promise you, you'll have all the
rights of fatherhood.

Except one.

Of course, I won't be able to sleep with
you.

Well, let's not jump to conclusions.

What I had in mind was that I insist on
naming the child myself. I want

to call him after my father, Nigel.

Wow, that is exactly the name I was
going to pick.

And I thought we had nothing in common.

Look at this.

One of the first talks we have

to have is about...

this child.

You're not mad at me, are you? Of course
not.

Good. Let's hear this one more.

This is for you.

This is Corbin Bernstein, Arnie Becker
of L .A. Law.

Rox, if you need a divorce lawyer, I'll
be there for you.

Now he's suffering from a fatal
attraction, while Cusack better eat his

when he defends an Olympic athlete with
an undesirable emotional profile on L

.A. Law.

Next. And in four days, you may never
escape from the dead of night.
