Funny About Love Page #4

Synopsis: When Duffy Bergman, a New York cartoonist, meets Meg Lloyd, a gourmet chef, he discovers the love of his life and they marry -- yet love alone isn't enough to make them happy. Meg decides she wants to have a baby, a goal that initially makes Duffy frantic, but soon becomes his most important desire as well. When they are unable to have a baby, Meg begins concentrating on her career and the two slowly drift apart -- eventually separating. Later, when Duffy is speaking at a convention of the Delta Gamma sorority, he reveals that the Delta Gamma girls have always been his dream girls -- his Love Goddesses. There he meets the young and uninhibited Delta Gamma girl, Daphne Delillo. When Daphne moves to New York to work as a network sports reporter, their mutual attraction and Daphne's spontaneity spark an adventurous new relationship for Duffy. Now Duffy must decide which is more valuable to him -- the relationship he has given up, or the relationship he has always dreamed of having.

- You're talking to your mother.

- She likes confrontation.

- You're darn right.

- You want us to do it right here?

- Why not?

- I'll move the bagels and the lox.

- Missionary or the usual?

- The usual. They get a better view.

If it's like our usual,

I don't want to see it!

- How about this, Ma? A grandkid!

- Put your pants back on!

Wait a second! We can't try

any harder to have a baby, OK?

Our staff will show you how to do this.

You give Meg these shots every day

to boost her production of eggs.

- I'm surprised at how calm I am.

- Honey, you can do it.

Come on, it's a snap.

- Here we go.

- OK.

No problem.

Nice and clean.

Almost done, almost done.

Done! I'm sorry, honey.

- Did it hurt?

- No, I liked it. Do it again.

- One more time.

- Yeah. No, no!

This is as far as you go, Mr Bergman.

- See you in a little while.

- Good luck.

Sure. Don't you worry about me.

I'll be swell.

Go on, have a good time.

Don't give me another thought.

There's your cup, Mr Bergman.

Turn on the red light when you're

done, and please wash your hands.

Oh, I'm sorry!

I thought this room was empty.

- Is that the July issue?

- Get out of here.

Honey, help me.

Meg, help me, please.

I got an egg.

How does it look?

It's good.

You must have been a beautiful baby

You must have been a wonderful child

When you were only startin'

To go to kindergarten

I bet you drove the little boys wild

And when it came

to winning blue ribbons

You must have shown

the other kids how

I can see the judges' eyes

As they handed you the prize

I bet you made the cutest bow

Oh! You must have been

a beautiful baby

'Cause, baby, look at you now

I made you a batch of cappuccino.

- Batch?

- Yep.

Wow, thanks.

Yow! This is it! This is the best

cappuccino you've ever made.

- On a scale from one to ten?

- Eight to eight and a half.

- Really?

- Serious.

What's the matter with your eye?

- Nothing.

- Why is your eye twitching?

- I have a lash caught in my eye.

- No.

I can't believe you're lying to me.

Jesus! I can't even make

a stupid cup of cappuccino.

- I can't make anything.

- You make stuff all the time.

What's going on? What's happening?

I got my period, Duff.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- I can't make a baby.

You've got to stop beating yourself up

like this. It's no good.

- Let's just forget about kids.

- I can't.

I've always had a thing about kids.

I can't imagine not having them.

Well, let's just postpone it,

get our minds off this thing.

Let's think about our careers.

Easy for you to say. You have a career.

Didn't The Village Voice

just put you in the comic pantheon?

What am I in? I'm in the kitchen
