        Richard and Cyndicome downstairs, Richard catching up with
        her in the area.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Hold on a minute.  What's going on?

                        CYNDI
                Nothing.

                        YANG RICHARD
                You're jealous of that broad.  I don't believe
                you.  I thought we just settled that.

                        CYNDI
                And I don't believe you.  You get next to a
                microphone and there's no shutting you up.
                You just had to wax poetic about this whole
                sham, didn't you?  You couldn't just answer
                the questions like a normal groom, oh no, you
                had to come off like Sir Galahad or Lancelot,
                some lovestruck romantic--

                        YANG RICHARD
                Hold it, hold it!  This is really ridiculous.

                        CYNDI
                Is it?

                        YANG RICHARD
                What are you afraid of?   I've told you I have
                no interest in going to bed with her.  But
                even if I was, we've always had an open
                relationship, we've always given each other
                freedom to explore ourselves.  What's the
                sudden jealousy trip?  You sound like some
                uptight bitch from the fifties.  A real Doris
                Day trip, man.  I don't believe it.

                        CYNDI
                I never believed in this scam in the first
                place.

                        YANG RICHARD
                You know we need the money.

                        CYNDI
                The surrogating business is going to make us
                both wealthy, and you know it.

                        YANG RICHARD
                I believe it, but in the meantime we've got
                legal bills up the yinyang.  Hey, that's
                funny, I've got to remember that -- "up the
                yinyang."  We ought to add it to the ceremony.

                        CYNDI
                The ceremony almost made me puke.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Don't lose your sense of humor on me, Cyndi.
                Lose your sense of humor and the church is in
                trouble.

                        CYNDI
                I liked acting better.

                        YANG RICHARD
                What do you think you're doing now?

                        CYNDI
                When we had the traveling company.  It was a
                hell of a lot more fun.

                        YANG RICHARD
                You like sleeping on the ground, right.
                Living out of a suitcase, right.  All you ever
                did was bitch.

                        CYNDI
                The gig in New Orleans was nice before you got
                us into dealing.  We could've done more like
                that, just straight theater.

                        YANG RICHARD
                I'm not fond of being poor.

                        CYNDI
                Because your brain is between your legs.  If
                you hadn't started messing with Lady
                What's-Her-Face, the Mardi Gras grand
                pooh-pah, with her prodigious cocaine habit--

                        YANG RICHARD
                Well, listen to Miss Virtue.  Who was banging
                her way up the corporate ladder?  Look, why
                are we fighting?  Because of a twit like
                Trudy?  Let's keep everything in perspective.

                        CYNDI
                I shouldn't've let you go through with it.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Man, she's so moonstruck, how could we turn
                down a natural sucker?

                        CYNDI
                She could've joined the church without you
                marrying her.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Expediency.  Now we can get our hands on her
                money immediately.  Before we'd've had to woo
                it from her a little at a time.

                        CYNDI
                She doesn't seem all that moonstruck to me.

                        YANG RICHARD
                She's a pushover.  Born with a golden spoon in
                her mouth and spiritually at sea -- she'll do
                anything I suggest.  So we get the money out
                of her account and into ours, and I file for
                divorce.  I've already got the papers ready, I
                told you that.

                        CYNDI
                There's something about her -- it's too pat,
                somehow.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Candy from a baby, sweetheart.  Come on,
                lighten up.  Let's have fun with this.  Why
                don't we get into a little post-marital
                mumbo-jumbo, amuse the troops.  Get into a
                fertility rite, how's that?

                        CYNDI
                I'm not sure I have the energy.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Man, we got radio and TV coverage, it's a
                better stage that we used to have.  Let's go
                for it, improv a little, see what we can get
                away with.  Cyndi, where's the old energy,
                the joy in the performance, laughing all the
                way to the bank?  Hell, let's pass the hat,
                with this kind of crowd we'll probably hit
                four digits.  Seriously, let's do the
                fertility rite, it'd be a kick.

                        CYNDI
                You never quit, do you?

                        YANG RICHARD
                Born performer, just like you.

                        CYNDI
                I must be coming down with something.  I've
                felt rotten all week.

                        YANG RICHARD
                You don't have to do anything during the
                fertility rite except moan and groan, not much
                energy involved there.

                        CYNDI
                Let me think about it.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Look at this crowd, they didn't know what the
                hell to think about the wedding.  The
                fertility rite will blow their mind.

                        CYNDI
                At least you have to do all the work.

                        YANG RICHARD
                I'll find Trudy, and we'll do it where we did
                the wedding.

                        CYNDI
                Not yet.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Be good for you, it'll get you out of
                yourself.

                        CYNDI
                Out of my manic/depressive self, you mean.

                        YANG RICHARD
                We're going to be fine.  You're right, the
                surrogate scam is the best gig we've had, and
                it's even legal.  Once we get that cokescam
                rot behind us--

                                CYNDI
                Is it rot, isn't it?  You haven't set
                something up behind my back?

                        YANG RICHARD
                No way.  New Orleans was enough drug hustling
                to last a lifetime, believe me.  We could've
                ended up in jail.

                        CYNDI
                I never wanted anything to do with it.  I
                don't want anything to do with Trudy.

                        YANG RICHARD
                She's an absolute pushover, trust me.

                        CYNDI
                I trusted you in New Orleans.

                        YANG RICHARD
                You're never going to let me forget that, are
                 you?

                        CYNDI
                We had a nice acting gig going.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Being treated like shit, man, come on -- we
                were paid slaves, darkies on the riverboat,
                dancing for the plantation owners.  Who needs
                it?

                        CYNDI
                Tell me you're not dealing.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Jesus, Cyndi -- how can you even consider that
                I'd be doing that?

                        CYNDI
                Because you surprised me once, you can
                surprise me again.

                        YANG RICHARD
                I'm not dealing.

                        CYNDI
                Promise.

                        YANG RICHARD
                Promise.  Christ, man . . .

                        CYNDI
                Don't be mad.

                        YANG RICHARD
                I'm doing to try and liven this party up.
