3 Men and a Little Lady Page #5

---

is one long improvisation.

I don't have time to think,

plan or take it in.

Things are thrown at me

and I react.

I keep asking myself,

"Am I a good mother?"

Every mother asks

herself that.

- Did you?

- Constantly.

- Really?

- You're a wonderful mother.

All you need now

is a husband.

Romance is the last

thing on my mind now.

I'm not talking

about romance.

I'm talking

about marriage.

What's happening

between you and Edward?

He proposed to me.

And?

Edward is a

wonderful man.

In some ways,

I love him very much.

But... something

keeps me from saying "yes."

Would that something happen

to be a tall architect?

- What do you mean?

- You're wasting your

time with that one.

Why do you

say that?

Some men are never comfortable

with their feelings.

They can't open up.

He does with Mary.

He's wonderful with her.

That's different.

If you think you can get

him to open up to you,

then, by all means,

marry him.

You'll find you've

wasted precious time...

waiting

for nothing.

Mary, turn off the TV

and go to sleep.

- No!

- We leave her with you...

- and she's crazy.

- She's going through some weird phase.

- It's no different than before.

- It's a lot different!

- Things have got to change around here.

- I heard you.

It's not healthy for a guy

to get excited and have to stop!

- She wouldn't stop

bothering us all night.

- Give me that.

Laurie finally left.

I'm pulling the plug.

I've got a life, too,

you know!

Sh*t!

- You said the "S" word.

- I didn't. Ah, sh*t!

- Are you listening?

- I'm electrocuting myself.

What is going on?

What are you doing up,

young lady?

Excuse us.

What started

all this?

I think we're getting

into some uncharted territory.

- Is it mine or yours?

- It's me.

I'll take that one.

- How's Mary?

- Asleep for now.

What's the matter

with her?

We're getting a taste

of tough things ahead.

- Adolescence!

- Puberty.

- Puberty was my favorite stage.

- I'm serious, Jack.

So am I! That's one

thing I was good at.

How long do you think we're

gonna be able to do this?

- Do what, honey?

- Live like this.

Me, you, Mary.

It's worked so far,

hasn't it?

It was necessary

at first.

And now you're such a

big star you don't need us.

That's not fair,

Jack.

I don't think

we're meeting...

Mary's or my

or your needs.

What needs are you talking about?

Passion, marriage,

children, sex!

You took the words

out of my mouth!

I'll talk to Mary

about sex if you want.

- Not sex for Mary, sex for me.

- Uh-oh.

Time to dust off

the old penis speech.

- I never have it with me

when I need it.

- I'm serious!

I want to get married.

I want more children.
