                         I'm so sorry.  I got caught in the
                         tunnel again.  Hey, Harry!

                                   CANDICE
                             (smiling and raising her
                              glass to Harry in
                              imaginary greeting)
                         I'll let it slide this time.  It
                         happens again, I'll tell Bernie
                         from Payroll that you have a secret
                         fantasy.  Him.

                                   TOM
                             (lovingly)
                         Why, you evil little pimptress!
                             (He has a big gulp of his
                              drink.  He then hugs
                              her.)

                                   CANDICE
                         Words of love.  It's all right. 
                         I've been coming to these so long
                         now, I almost feel like...

               Playfully runs fingers up his tie

                                   CANDICE
                         ...I'm one of your v-e-r-y special
                         co-workers.
                             (They smile in a lovingly
                              sexy way at each other
                              and laugh. She then looks
                              off to the side)
                         Who's he?  With the tie?

                                   TOM
                         Loud floral?  That's Marty.  Marty
                         Adams.  Why?

                                   CANDICE
                         He came over and chatted for a
                         minute.  Seemed nice enough.

                                   TOM
                         He's the guy who's fooling around
                         with his secretary.

                                   CANDICE
                             (grimaces)
                         Him?  The woman must be desperate.

                                   TOM
                         No.  In fact, she's fairly
                         attractive.

                                   CANDICE
                         So you've noticed?

                                   TOM
                         I'm not dead, Candice.  Just
                         because you're on a diet...

                                   TOM & CANDICE
                         Doesn't mean you can't look at the
                         menu.

                                   CANDICE
                         You boys need to come up with
                         something new.  That's tired.

                                   TOM
                         Awwww.  Jealous?

                                   CANDICE
                         Yeah, babe.  I think I'll go kick
                         her ass.

                                   TOM
                             (Tom laughs. An invisible
                              co-worker approaches the
                              two.)
                         Hey, Bob!  This is my wife,
                         Candice.  Candice, this is Bob
                         Maxwell.  Bob's our new
                         comptroller.

                                   CANDICE
                         Hi, Bob.  It's nice to meet you,
                         too.
                             (slight pause)
                         Um, it's Candice, not Candy.
                             (slight pause)
                         That's all right.  It happens all
                         the time.

                                   TOM
                         So, Bob.  Are we still on for 8 am
                         tee-off on Saturday?
                             (slight pause)
                         Great!
                             (Watches co-worker walk
                              away.)
                         Jeez, what a moron.

                                   CANDICE
                         Such respect for the higher-ups. 
                         And so you're playing golf with him
                         because...?

                                   TOM
                             (very suave)
                         Networking, babe.  Suck up to move
                         up.  Hasn't hurt me so far.

                                   CANDICE
                             (mildly sarcastically)
                         Oh, yeah, you've had a meteoric
                         rise up that corporate ladder.

                                   TOM
                         Hey!

                                   CANDICE
                         That reminds me.  I'm having lunch
                         with Alison tomorrow.

                                   TOM
                         Alison, huh?  Ol' womanized
                         Alison...

                                   CANDICE
                         Shut up, Tom.

                                   TOM
                         What a shame.

                                   CANDICE
                         What's a shame?
                             (Another imaginary co
                              worker walks by.)

                                   TOM
                         Joe!  Great job on that
                         presentation today.
                             (whispers to Candice.)
                         That you don't love me enough.

               Tom and Candice watch him walk past.  She smiles and nods.

                                   CANDICE
                         What do you mean, I don't love you
                         enough?

                                   TOM
                             (leering)
                         Well, you know.  You.  Alison.  Heh
                         heh.

                                   CANDICE
                         Oh, for crying out loud, Tom. 
                         You've been reading Penthouse
                         again!
                             (sarcastically)
                         "Dear Penthouse: I've had a fantasy
                         that no one has EVER had before.  I
                         have sex with TWO women at the same
                         time."  Why do  all men have this
                         fixation with two women together? 
                         Like you would even know what to
                         do!  Hell, most of you can't handle
                         one!

                                   TOM
                         I was reading Hustler.

                             (laughing)
                         You are so gross.  By the way. 
                         I've always fantasized about you
                         with another man.  Bernie.  From
                         Payroll.

                                   TOM
                         Now, more than ever, I must say it. 
                         Bitch.

               She laughs.  At that same moment another co-worker
               approaches.

                                   TOM
                         Um, hi, Marion!  This is my
                         wife...Candice.  Um, Candice, this
                         is Marion Burger.  Runs central
                         files.

                                   CANDICE
                         Hi, Marion.  It's nice to meet you,
                         too...thanks,
                             (she touches her ear
                              lobe.)
                         Uh-huh.  Lord & Taylor.
                             (whispers)
                         off at their white sale.  I know,
                         can you believe?  Just our
                         secret....you too, Marion, bye.

               Marion walks away.

                                   TOM
                         Thanks for those last minute files,
                         Marion!

                                   CANDICE
                         She seems nice.

                                   TOM
                         Yeah, the poor thing.  Just got
                         dumped by her husband for a much
                         younger woman.

                                   CANDICE
                         Men can be such dogs.  She's
                         probably better off without him.

                                   TOM
                         You don't know that.  Maybe she was
                         the royal bitch and drove him into
                         the arms of another woman.

                                   CANDICE
                         She works in Central File.  How
                         much of a bitch can she be?
                             (She looks at her watch)
                         Tom, we should go soon.

                                   TOM
                         Why?  I just got here.  When was
                         the last time we went out?  We need
                         some down time, together.

                                   CANDICE
                         I don't think a work function
                         qualifies as "quality time", honey. 
                         Jody is starting to get the
                         sniffles and the sitter's mother
                         wanted her home by 11:00.

                                   TOM
                         We can stay a little longer.  It
                         won't take us long to get back. 
                         Traffic's a breeze this time of
                         night.

                                   CANDICE
                         I know.  But I'm feeling a little
                         queasy.

                                   TOM
                         Why don't I get you something a
                         little stronger than Ginger Ale. 
                         It might relax you.

                                   CANDICE
                         I don't think I should be drinking
                         in my condition.

                                   TOM
                             (waving to someone across
                              the room)
                         What?

                                   CANDICE
                             (softly)
                         I'm pregnant.

                                   TOM
                         Come again?

                                   CANDICE
                         I said...I'm pregnant.  Again.

               The two look at each other for the first time in the scene.

                                   TOM
                         Oh, Snickers!  Honey, that's great,
                         just great!

               He hugs her warmly.

                                   CANDICE
                         Yeah, well, sorry for the bad
                         timing.

                                   TOM
                         No!  No, it's wonderful timing.

                                   CANDICE
                         Now's not a good time for me to be
                         taking another maternity leave.  I
                         finally lost all that weight from
                         having Jody.  And money is already
                         tight.

                                   TOM
                         Oh, your work will be fine--they
                         love you.  And Jody gets to have a
                         little brother...or sister!  And
                         you look so beautiful pregnant.
                             (he kisses her)
                         We'll be fine.  We'll get by just
                         fine.

               Candice studies him for a moment

                                   CANDICE
                         I know, but...my God, you ARE happy
                         about this.

                                   TOM
                         Of course I am!

               He looks at her deeply for a moment.

                                   TOM
                         You're not?

                                   CANDICE
                         Of...course.  It's just...never
                         mind.  I'm just feeling moody,
                         tired, queasy and all those
                         wonderful pregnant type symptoms.

               He looks at her sweetly

                                   TOM
                         Thank you.

                                   CANDICE
                         Don't thank me.  You're the one who
                         did it.

                                   TOM
                         Are you sure?
                             (he chuckles, she smacks
                              him on the shoulder
                              playfully.)

                                   CANDICE
                         Smart ass.

               Tom hugs her again.

                                   TOM
                         I love you, Snickers.

                                   CANDICE
                         I know.  Can we go now?

                                   TOM
                         Sure.  But I have to say bye to
                         Martin first.  Then we'll leave. 
                         OK?

                                   CANDICE
                         OK.

               Tom kisses her quickly and scurries off.  Candice is left
               standing by herself.  She lets out a deep sigh and self
               consciously holds her stomach.  She then nods and smiles
               sheepishly to a passer bye.

               heard.The lights fade.
