SIDE 3 - BARRY/BARBARA & DR. LEINHART


BARRY: Gee, Dr. Leinhart. It's a real pleasure having you for dinner. How long have you lived in the building?

LEINHART: Just two weeks.

BARRY: When I found out there was a real-life Nobel Prize winner living right next door, I said, "Let's have him for dinner. (PAUSE) I mean, join us for dinner. (PAUSE) We're not cannibals you know.

LEINHART: Well, urn, it's a pleasure to be here.

BARRY: What did you win your prize for anyway?

LEINHART: A modest contribution to the field of molecular biology.

BARRY: Did you get a big old honking trophy? I won one of those once for coloring! (PAUSE) I just got a wonderful idea. I bet you could help the baby with his homework when he grows up!

LEINHART: Well (PAUSE), it's an amusing idea.

BARRY: I'm totally serious!

LEINHART: Of course. And, uh, what did you say the baby's name was?

BARRY: (PAUSE. THEN HE LAUGHS UPROARIOUSLY) That's so funny!

LEINHART: What's so funny?

BARRY: We forgot to name him!

LEINHART: You're not serious!

BARRY: (LAUGHING SO HARD SNOT COMES OUT HIS NOSE) This is so embarrassing. Nobody's asked us the baby's name before.(PAUSE) We don't have any friends. (PAUSE) Hey! I've got a great idea! Let's name the baby, Dr. Leinhart!
