Barry Munday Page #2

Synopsis: Barry: he slacks off at work, savors one-nights stands, and is getting older (young people call him "sir"). Then, he loses his testicles in an assault and gets a letter saying he's to become a father. He can't remember the woman and asks if she'll meet with him: she's Ginger, a solitary waspish woman about his age. He acknowledges paternity and wants to be a part of the pregnancy and parenthood. With reluctance and lots of put-downs, Ginger introduces him to her family, including the favored younger sister, and allows him to come with her to her doctor's. With his own father issues, a canny boss, brittle Ginger, and her vampy sister, can Barry hang in there?

Oh, Barry,

your testes.

Testicles.

We had to remove both.

We really tried

to save the left one,

but it was simply

too ruptured.

It seems that during

the accident with the...

- Uh, trumpet.

...trumpet.

What are you saying?

You're saying

I lost my what?

Amnesia.

- Did I lose my...

- Whoa.

...you know?

- Penis?

- No.

You really don't remember

what happened to you down there?

We were talking

about architecture.

Get out of there.

This is kinda like

when you had your tonsils out.

Well, kinda.

Alone...

On my own...

Oh honey,

that's binding.

I don't know nothin'...

Thanks, Mom.

Must be stupid

or somethin'...

About love.

I wore that

on Saturday night, right?

And I'm standing outside,

and all these guys

were like

looking at me,

and they're like,

"Best habitat ever."

Where have you been, mister?

- Lida, l...

- Relax.

I forgive you.

I guess I forgot to

mention my girlfriend Lida Griggs

was out of town

when the incident occurred.

It's a long story,

but we don't see each other

for sometimes weeks

or months at a time.

I need to borrow

your alarm clock.

Pretty sure we don't

really like each other.

Let's go, lover.

We're going to try something

new today, lover.

Lida, ah, why don't we

just watch a movie?

Shh.

- Lida, l...

- All tight?

Yeah.

But we should

talk first.

Why don't we start

by talking about...

this?

I found it in your car

when I was looking

for my lavender and

vanilla body souffl.

Lida, listen...

- Is it true?

- Um...

- Did you show her your penis?

- What?

- You whore!

- No, Lida...

- Did you let her play with this?

- Stop.

I had an accident.

Barry, I don't know

what all of this is,

but Peaches and I have no sympathy

for cheating a**holes.

And if you think

the love I give you

is all fun

and games,

well...

you had better sleep

with one eye open, mister.

Can you untie me?

Come, Peaches.

Barry honey, it's Mom.

I picked up your hormone pills

at the pharmacy.

Honey?

Barry, I hope it's okay,

but I brought Janice with me

- from my Latin dance symposium.

- Hi, Barry.

Excuse me, Lonnie?

Talk to you later.

Hey, um...

I was wondering

if I could take a leave of absence.

Um, I had a...

with a...

and um...

just wonderin'

if I could take a few days off.

It's all I'm thinkin'...

just time to get, you know.

Basically,

I have some family issues.

Now, first of all Barry,

you're lying.

I've been in this business

for 40 years

and I can always

tell the difference.

You don't have

any family issues, do you?

Well, I have...

Well, you're just lazy.

You know, you sit

in your office

pretending to be

on the telephone,

shuffling papers all day,

and every hour or so
