Another Day in the Life of Bad-Memory-Terribly-Deaf Husband

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

WIFE and HUSBAND watch television, something SULTRY like Nip/Tuck.

There's palpable tension between WIFE and HUSBAND as they stare straight ahead at Christian Troy banging another client in the ass.

WIFE takes a breath, knows this will be a pain in the ass.

    WIFE
I'm pregnant.

    HUSBAND
Fragrant?

    WIFE
No! Pregnant -- there's someone inside me.

    HUSBAND
WHO'S INSIDE YOU?!

   WIFE
Our BABY! Our BABY is inside me.

    HUSBAND
    (hurt)
I thought I was your baby.

    WIFE
My god, sweetie. Just go. Check Facebook, I put the news there.

HUSBAND eyes WIFE suspiciously as he EXITS to the bedroom...

Beat, then --

    HUSBAND
 (from other room)
YOU'RE MARRIED?!
