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!
