:E2730 (E) - /h7/ /en11/ TIME CODE: 27:30 Maxine joins the Matre'd at the bar. YIN MAXINE (to bartender) Something non-alcoholic, please. MATRE'D No champagne to celebrate? YIN MAXINE I'm drinking for two. MATRE'D Really? Does that mean what I think it does? YIN MAXINE Of course. MATRE'D Who's the lucky man? YIN MAXINE It's not mine. I'm surrogating. You look surprised. MATRE'D I'm sorry -- been an evening full of surprises. I've never met a surrogate mother before. YIN MAXINE I've never been one before. MATRE'D Is the father a church-member? YIN MAXINE Oh, no. I don't think so. MATRE'D You don't know? YIN MAXINE I'm not told the identity of the father. MATRE'D I thought you were. I mean, in the Baby-M case, that was very clear. YIN MAXINE This is not like that at all. In the church, it's business, guaranteeing spiritual as well as biological health, but we don't want to personalize or romanticize the biological/spiritual process by getting the ego involved. MATRE'D I'm not sure I understand. YIN MAXINE Cyndi's the one you should talk to. MATRE'D Let me get this straight -- you are doing this as part of church business? Like having a church bizarre or playing bingo? You raise money this way? YIN MAXINE It sounds a little crude to put it so bluntly -- but yes, that's pretty much it. MATRE'D Well, like I said, the evening's been full of surprises. YIN MAXINE Are you shocked? MATRE'D I wouldn't say shocked exactly. YIN MAXINE I often shock people. Genius does, you know. MATRE'D Then maybe I should apologize . . . YIN MAXINE Oh, no. No need for that, captain. Trudy comes to the bar. /en3/ TIME CODE: 28:30 ?"Continue" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" :"Continue" Continue
