Barry Munday Page #4

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?

important before.

Marriage?

No thank you.

Children?

They smell,

and grow up to hate you

and take your money.

Sure, I grew up

without a father.

Maybe that colored my outlook

on life, I don't know.

All I know is

I once had options.

My balls were great.

I was great.

I'm pretty sure

I was great.

Line 1, a Ginger Farley.

Good luck.

What does that mean?

Shee-ee...

Why'd you want

to meet me, Barry?

Ginger.

It's good to see you.

Is it?

Yes.

This is familiar.

This is where we met, Barry.

Right over there.

- You want to sit down?

- No.

Yeah.

So, how far along

are you?

Well, on February 11th,

a few moments

before midnight,

your little sperm army

stormed my pink beach.

So, you count the days.

Newton said you had

no memory of our sex.

He did?

What an a**hole.

Right.

No, you...

you're an a**hole.

Ginger, I don't

mean to offend,

but are you totally,

positivo sure

that the baby's mine?

You little sh*t-eater.

I am weak one night,

one night, and with

a sh*t-eater like you.

God knows why,

and now you want

to sit here

at Snatchers

and ask me crap?

Yes, Barry, I'm "positivo"

the baby is yours.

And you're not going to run away

from your responsibility.

Do you mind

if I touch it?

I don't know why I said that.

Touch what?

Your belly,

touch where the baby is.

Ooh!

I'll have Newton call you,

and he'll go over

the paternity test,

and the paternity

acknowledgement forms.

That is, if you decide

to sign them.

Goodbye, Barry.

- Goodbye.

- A**hole sh*t-eater.

It's great

seeing you again.

Night will follow day

Sure as the sun

and moon

Remember

I will always

Be with you

If I'm out of words to say

And I understand you

When you see

a darkness coming through...

- Remember to keep warm

- Take shelter from the storm...

- Newton Creech's office.

The night will not last

for much more

I wrote in a small note

"Put on your winter coat

A cold wind will blow

through your door"...

Hi.

Newton Creech, please.

Night will follow day...

- Why did you play this?

- Oh. What?

Oh, right, I'm supposed to believe

it's just a coincidence

that they're playing our song

right when I walk in?

Remember I will always

be with you...

What's this?

The paternity agreement forms.

All signed.

- You're not gonna take the...

- Yeah, I don't need to take a test.

Why not?

Because I know.

You know?

Yeah.

I feel it.

You feel it?

Yes.

I got you a drink.

It's virgin.

Very funny, Barry.

What do you want from me?

I don't kn...

nothing, I just...

What did you want

from me?

- Do you think I'm after money?

- No.

You don't think that if you were there

for the passion of our sex

that you should be accountable
