Mighty Aphrodite Page #12

We have to put things right,

whatever has to be done.

she drove upstate to Wampsville and

pleaded with Kevin to take her back...

but to no avail.

Anyway, on the way home she was

distraught and felt life held no hope...

when-- talk about

a deus ex machina--

So we just had a stabilizing problem

and the thing got a little off balance.

And then the radio went glitchy, so I

just need to get down and use a phone.

And thank you very much,

by the way, for stopping.

My name's Don.

And so Linda married.

To a wonderful man who was not uptight

and repressed and accepted her...

and even laughed at wild tales

of her promiscuous background.

And so our little

Greek drama comes to--

Wait, wait, wait.

There's more.

What more, Tiresias,

blind seer of Thebes?

Tell 'em just to

call me Tiresias, will ya?

The handicapped

are always cranky.

On that night,

Lenny Weinrib and Linda did make love,

Iike he was Zeus and she

was Aphrodite with an aphrodisiac.

Get to the point!

- The point is, Linda did,

that night, conceive a child.

- No!

Yes. She became pregnant

with Lenny's child.

But not wanting to complicate his life

with Amanda, she never told him.

Instead she went off

with her new husband,

who stood behind her loyally as she

gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Lenny never saw Linda again.

We can look around the whole store

if you'd like.

- Lenny!

- I don't believe this! Wh--

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- I-I--

- I'm stunned! What happened to you?

I-I'm living in Connecticut.

I'm married and my husband Don

is a helicopter pilot.

You're kidding! Where did you go?

I searched every place for you.

- It's like you vanished

off the face of the earth.

- Well, we had our moment.

- But I knew you

would be back with Amanda.

- I can't b-- That's super.

- S-So y-you're married and--

This is yours?

- Yes! Look at her.

Oh, God, she's adorable.

- She's adorable. Very, very--

- And is-- Is that Max?

- This is Max. This is Max.

- Hello.

- Max, say hello. This is a friend.

- Hi, I'm Linda.

- How do you do?

What a handsome boy.

Amanda must be very beautiful.

And she's-- You've gotta have

a very handsome husband,

'cause she has a great face.

I'm stunned.

I don't know what to say. I'm, I'm--

- Lenny, it's so great to see you.

- You too. You're okay? Everything--

Yeah. I'm really good.

Thank you for everything.

Oh-- I-I--

I'm speechless.

I-I-- I gotta go.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna be late.

- It was great to see you.

- It was great to see you. Great.

- But they have each other's child.

And they don't know.

Yes. Yes. Isn't life ironic?

Life is unbelievable.

Miraculous. Sad.

Wonderful.

Yes, this is all true!

And that's why we say:
