Ronnie: Previously on RonnieLennox...

Ronnie:The town show fundraiser is the most important event of the season and I want us to fit in.

Annabelle: I don't know what I'm doing here.

Ronnie: I'm Ronnie.

Annabelle: Annabelle.

MAN: (THROUGH RADIO) Ronnie, can you read me?

Ronnie: Something strange happened with Dottie. Well, something strange happened before that, too. It's hard to explain.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Ronnie: It wasn't so hard to fit in after all.

Techno: What is that?

(BEES BUZZING)

Ronnie: No.

Ronnie: (GASPS) Is this really happening?

Techno: Yes, my love.

-------------------------------------------------

Doctor: -checking- Yep! Definitely pregnant.

Ronnie:  (RONNIE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Well, that much we figured-

Techno: It's just kinda taken us by surprise.It's just kinda sudden. Quite suddenly, wasn't it? I mean, practically overnight.

-Ronnie squeezes his hand-

Techno: I-I mean... (HESITATES) How did this happen?

Doctor: You see, when a man and a woman love each other very much-

Ronnie: -eyes widen- Well, we're just tickled pink, or blue! -smiles-

Doctor: You're at about four months now. Is that right?

Ronnie: -Nods-

Techno:-shakes his head no-

Ronnie: -looks over and bumps his shoulder-

Techno: -techno now nods-

Doctor: I thought as much. We let the little ladies keep tabs on their growing babies with fruit. Make it simple for them.

-Ronnie is confused-

Doctor: At four months, the fetus is about as big as a pear. At five months, a papaya. Six, grapefruit. Seven, pineapple. Eight, honeydew!

(RONNIE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Techno: Hypothetically speaking, what size fruit would it be at, say, hmm, 12 hours?

Doctor: Uh- pardon? 12 hours?

Ronnie: Well, I think this line of questioning is fruitless! (CHUCKLES)

Techno: Well, hypothetically speaking, should we be concerned?

Doctor: Hypothetically speaking, every new father-to-be gets nervous.

Techno: Well, I have nerves of steel, So there goes your theory, Mr. Doctor-

Ronnie: Techno, why don't you see the doctor out?

Techno: Good idea. Yes. -walks to the door-Thank you so much for dropping by, Dr. Nelson.

Doctor: -walking outside- Well, I'm just glad you caught me in time. I'm taking the wife

on vacation this afternoon.

Techno: Oh! Have a nice holiday! Hey, Sherb!

Sherb: Hey, buddy!
