Immediate Family Page #4

---

- What happened to the guy?

- He went to the emergency room.

Sewed up his head.

But he died anyway.

You don't mess with the old man.

He's bad.

- A murderer.

- You don't know that.

He killed somebody.

Does that make him a senator?

Could our families take scrutiny? We

got heart disease, cancer, suicide.

They're not sure.

It could have been an accident.

Linnie, it was suicide.

Nice clean ocean you got here.

Well, wait long enough,

a whole wardrobe washes up.

Where are the waves?

Cute.

Come on, baby.

- They really love each other.

- They seem to.

Why are they giving up the child?

They're doing it for us.

They want to raise a child, but we're

nice and we ordered baby furniture.

- I haven't ordered it yet.

- Well, don't tell them that.

- Lucy tells me you have a dog.

- Yeah. Ellen. She's a big mutt.

I love dogs.

When Lucy and I have our baby,

we're gonna get a dog.

Not this baby we're giving you. The

one we'll keep someday. Our baby.

- Is anyone thinking about lunch?

- Yeah. That's a good idea.

It's not just a record store. They also

sell musical equipment.

It's a good job because I'm gonna be

a musician. Lucy's probably told you.

Actually I am a musician.

I write and play keyboards.

If that doesn't work out, I can work

as a roadie and learn producing.

A lot of great bands come

through town.

Red Dog was in. He took my name

and said he might call me back.

Red Dog is a road manager

for a lot of bands.

I probably should move to L.A.

Or New York to be real successful.

But Ohio's where my roots are,

and you write what you know.

After today,

I might write about this restaurant.

Write about the prices.

$11.00 for some shrimp. With heads.

When Lucy and I first talked

about keeping the baby...

...I said, " No way, I haven't made it

yet." I mean, it's a big responsibility.

They wake up at night. Sometimes

more than once. You gotta be there.

Have you guys thought

all about this?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good.

Why not?

Since the ocean was a hit, what do

you say we see the mountains?

Could we borrow the car?

I'm a good driver. I really am.

We only have this one day. It'd be

cool if we could just take a drive.

You could say no.

I'll tell you what.

I'll drive you home. If you don't

like my driving, the deal is off.

- Take it easy.

- Thank you.

Okay, let's have it.

- Your most paranoid fantasy.

- I don't want to talk about it.

They disappear with the baby

and the car.

Stopping only to rip off a few

convenience stores with a shotgun.

- Am I getting close?

- I don't appreciate this, Michael.

And we end up on Geraldo Rivera as

the most gullible couple in America.

- Wow!

- Yeah.

I'm glad I came to check them out.

I feel better about the whole thing.

- You didn't come to check them out.

- I sure did.

You came here to see me.

Well, to see you

and to check them out.

Do you think I'd let you give my baby

to just anyone?

Your baby?

You never called it that before.

- What did I call it?

- The baby.

Yeah, the baby that's yours and mine.

It's their baby.

I know that.

Don't you think I know that?

Scratch my back, would you, babe?

Yeah, a little higher.

Beautiful, yeah.

- What's that?

- It's a present.

- It's beautiful. I love it.

- You like that?

I'm bummed.

I didn't even get you anything.

You brought yourself.

- They're here.

- They're back.

That's what I just said.

- Hi.

- Welcome back. Hi. Hi!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Nice car. Great city.

- You guys look really happy.

You probably thought

we weren't coming back.

No, no. No.

Your attention, please.

This is your first call for passengers

to Portland, Sacramento, San Jose...

...Los Angeles and San Diego.

Now boarding in Bay 4.

- Hey, thanks for everything.

- We didn't do much.

You're taking good care of her. She's

scared, no matter what she tells you.

- We'll watch out for her. Don't worry.

- I think you'll be excellent parents.

Really.

Just one little piece of advice.

- What's that, Sam?

- When this baby comes...

...no matter what he does,

just don't hit him with anything.

You can count on that, Sam.

- Take it easy.

- Take it easy.

Bye, Sam.

- Well, good luck, Linda.

- You too.

Attention. This is your final call

for those passengers for Spokane...

...Butte, Fargo, Minneapolis and

Chicago. Now boarding in Bay 15.

Your final call for those passengers

to Spokane, Butte, Fargo...

...Minneapolis and Chicago.

Now boarding in Bay 15.

- Hi.

- You okay?

Why don't you sleep over

at our house?

You probably don't want

to be alone tonight.

Well, I guess I could.

It's not like they're waiting up for me

at the motel.

Come on.

Try to get some sleep.

I will.

- Night.

- Night.

Come in, Lucy.

I feel something.

I know. I hear what you're saying.

Okay. I'll tell you what.

Go and call him. That's right. I know.

Hi. Excuse me.

- She's pregnant. Expecting. Now.

- Name?

- Michael.

- Lucy Moore.

- Doctor?

- Dr. Samuels.

- Could we do this later?

- Due when?

- This minute.

- November 2nd.

- Is this your first baby?

- Yes.

What will you ask next?

Sign? Sagittarius.

- Are you registered here?

- Yes. This is redundant.

- Can we get on with it?

- Who are you?

- The parents.

- Miss Moore's?

The baby's parents.

Come on, Lucy. Push, push!

Push hard. Push hard.

That's it. That's it. Good. Good.

- Keep pushing.

- Come on.

- Good. Give me a pant. That's it.

- You're doing great.

- That's it. Good. Good. That's it.

- That's good.

- Keep panting.

- Three. Four. Five...

- It won't be long now, Lucy.

- Six. Seven. Eight...

- That's good. That's good.

- Good. Nine...

- That's right. Keep pushing.

- Ten.

- Okay.

- Now, lay back now.

- We're almost there.

- You're doing just great.

- It's almost over. It's almost over.

- Okay.

- All right, Lucy.

- Okay.

- Here we go.

- Okay.

- Count backwards.

- One more contraction. Big push.

- Ten, nine, eight, seven...

- Big push.

- It's coming. It's coming.

...six, five, four...

- Here's the head.

...three. The head.

- There he is. Hold it. Stop pushing.

- Oh, my God!

Here's the baby. There he is.

- You have a beautiful baby boy.

- He's a linebacker.

He's so beautiful.

He's so beautiful.

Would you like to cut the cord,

Mr. Spector?

- Yes.

- Good. Okay.

- You want to hold your baby, Lucy?

- No.

Hi. How you doing?

Hi.

Pretty wild, huh?

Did you see him at all?

I can't believe anybody else

has ever had a baby.

Something that big comes out of you.

It's weird.

You were so brave.

I saw you there the whole time.

That really helped.

I guess we won't be talking

after I go home.

There's no rules.

We probably wouldn't

feel comfortable.

But I'm gonna miss you.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi.

Hi.

They want us upstairs.

- You gonna feed him?

- They said something about him.

- I'll see you later then, okay?

- Okay.

I'm gonna miss you too.

I'm glad he turned out good.

There were only supposed

to be four people.
