Funny About Love Page #7

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.

I mean I've acted

pretty much like a jerk.

Yeah.

- You've made Dad so happy.

- He deserves it.

I just want to tell you that I'm sorry.

I really am.

I want to tell you that.

And that... I think he's awfully lucky

to have found you.

I hope he doesn't let you get away.

- Sorry.

- It's OK.

- This was really some wedding.

- This is the last time.

I promise you that.

You know, I thought it was

a very nice gesture, your inviting Meg.

Well, I'd like to take

the credit for that, but...

I ran into her at Union Square Market.

She asked if you were definitely

going to be here.

I said, "Of course."

Then she asked if she could come.

So I guess you could say

that she invited herself!

- She came to see me?

- Well, she didn't come for the cake.

Would you excuse me?

Taxi!

- Stop, I'll get out here.

- OK. Hey, thanks!

- The food here is really good.

- Good, it should be.

Yes, I know.

- Good.

- Really, it's wonderful.

Thanks.

- Oh, hi.

- I want to be with you.

- What?

- I want to live with you again.

I see.

Meg, honey, I love you.

I've always loved you.

I've never loved anyone else,

and I think that you still love me.

- Excuse me.

- If you don't, then say so.

If you don't love me,

tell me and I'll get out of the way.

- Get out of the way!

- That's for her to say.

- Excuse me.

- Meg!

Meg, this is the last time, I promise.

- I know I shouldn't have pushed you.

- I've got work to do.

I know I should never have let you go.

I know I should have said this

at the wedding. I know my timing stinks.

Look at all the stuff I know!

That's got to be worth something.

There's another thing I know.

I know I don't need a baby any more.

But I need you.

I just want you.

We belong together.

- I know.

- You know?

Yeah, I know.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

- I have to go back to work.

- Wait a minute!

- What is this?

- I adopted him.

You mean...

You mean this could be my son?

I don't know. That's up to him.

I'll see you.

Where's Mommy?

Excuse me. Folks, this is my family.

You're my favourite person

in the whole world.

You get one, too.

I don't know how good

we're going to be at raising a child.

What are you worried about?

Look how well you did with me!

That's true.

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
