up. -I'm important. -You are. Very. But this is urgent. Get dressed and we'll reschedule. Sorry. How far along are you? Twenty-one weeks. -Is this your first? -Yes. Have you thought of any names? Junior, if it's a boy. And if it's a girl... ...Junior. Those are nice. -How about you? -Alex. Excuse me. -Good luck. -Thank you. -Junior would be good. -Junior's good. There's the feet... ...and the hands. This can't be happening. But it is. That little string of pearls. -The spine. -That's the spine, yeah. There's the head. My baby. Listen to this. That's the heartbeat. That's very fast. 140 beats a minute. Perfectly normal. In fact... ...everything's perfectly normal. Except for the fact that the mom is also the dad. If this gets out, your life is over. You're a freak. My license? Kiss it good-bye. It's not going to get out. I know this is unfair to you. And it's dangerous for both of us... ...but I want my baby. And I need your help. Move back in with me. I want you off your feet as much as possible. And no going to the lab. -But... -No buts about it. You're in for a lot of sacrifices. You'd better get used to that. Okay. So, otherwise how are you feeling? Anything unusual? Jesus, what the heck am I talking about? "Anything unusual?" I've noticed the side effects of pregnancy are amplified... ...with the dosage of Expectane that I've required. The morning sickness, the mood swings. Sleepiness, sexual appetite. Sexual appetite? Yesterday, just scooping the middle out of a honeydew melon gave me... -... a Steifen. -A what? That's normal. I get them all the time. It's nice to be back. It's going to be a lot of fun. -Do I have the same room again? -You betcha. What do you want to do tonight? Should we stay in or go out for dinner? Didn't I close down the Expectane project six months ago? Then why would Diana Reddin's account show continuing... ...requisitions for Expectane components? Is she up to something with Arbogast and Hesse? I don't know, sir. Larry, I'm not whining. It's just that you said you'd be home no later than 6:00. It's 6:45. The pasta is ready. In five minutes, they'll be soft. Well, fine, then come home whenever you want! Selfish. -Diana. Hi. -Yes, it's me. Hello. Someone gave me these papers for you... -... from the lab. -Thank you. Who? Who? I'm lying. I just, actually, I just wanted to see you. You did? -Come in, please. -Thank you. I'm sorry I lied. What a lovely room! Very nice of Dr. Arbogast to put you up. -It is. -Nice man. How are you? How are you feeling? Good. Thank you. And you? Good. Cooking? Smells very nice. You want to sit down? Please. Alex, do you believe in reincarnation... ...past lives or anything like that? -No. -No, neither do I, so it can't be that. Can't be what? I have this strong recurring feeling that I know you. You do know me. I know. No, but I mean... ...I mean from before... ...somehow, from earlier. I was born in Jakarta. And raised in England, from the age of five, in Kent... ...and summers in Cornwall. What are you looking at? I was born in Austria, in Gelandensprung. -Home to the Strudelhunds. -Yes. Well, I've never.... I've never actually been to Gelandensprung. Salzburg, once. Delicious chocolates. Good-looking waiters. You're twitching. What's the matter? Does my body disgust you? -What? -My body? Is it disgusting? No! I mean, I like... ...upholstery on a man. In fact, I was madly in love with my cousin, Trevor, for years... ...and he was very portly. Maybe it's physical. -This connection. -Yes. No, it is, definitely physical. Out of the blue, I get these sudden, these pangs of concern for your... ...for your well.... You mean sex? I hadn't thought of that. I have. Have you? Well, then, that's... -... that's probably it then, isn't it? -Yes. No, wait. Wait. If I... I let myself in. Where's Larry? -He's out. - ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Астенический синдром на английском - текст Туманность Андромеды на английском - текст Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки на английском - текст Сибирский цирюльник на английском - текст Крутой мир на английском |
