Loretta: Oh, come on!
Maggie: Fine. Let me get Loretta out of here and I’ll meet you in the car.
Narrator: Meanwhile, on the other side of Maggie’s house, Lindsay and Tobias were putting their plan into action.
Lindsay: (Whispers.) My God, that’s her!
Tobias: Get in the tub.
Narrator: Buster, meanwhile, received an unexpected visitor.
George, Sr.: I want you to know that it is okay for you to hide. A man can hide. There’s a quiet courage in that.
Buster: You’re a good uncle.
George, Sr.: I’m not your uncle. I’m your father.
Buster: What?
George, Sr.: Shh! Shh! Quiet courage, quiet courage. Hide.
Narrator: But Buster was confused.
Buster: You lied to me. Uncle Oscar is my father. He just told me so. And maybe you’re not even my real mother. For all I know Lucille II is my real mother! Oh.
Lucille: Buster, you were never supposed to know.
Buster: Oh, yeah, well, here’s something you should know— I’m going to war!
Narrator: Buster had just discovered he’d been lied to by his parents.
Buster: I’m going to war!
Lucille: You told him you were his father.
Oscar: I did no such thing.
Lucille: You’re high!
Oscar: You’re drunk!
Lucille: George. He must have come here to say good-bye to Buster.
Narrator: And that’s when Lucille snapped out of her denial.
Lucille: My baby’s going to war.
Narrator: Lindsay and Tobias were gathering evidence that Maggie was truly pregnant. And they were having fun doing it.
Lindsay: Tobias, this is the box that Michael was talking about. 60 pounds.
Narrator: But it didn’t weigh 60 pounds.
Lindsay: (Scoffs.)
Narrator: Michael was stalling Maggie, and they were also having fun.
Michael: (Into phone.) Hello.
Lindsay: We got the pee, and we’re going to get it checked, but, listen, you should know that that box that says 60 pounds— it’s actually like two pounds. I think she’s pregnant, Michael. I mean, there’s baby stuff here and... Tobias, stop it! That’s for the baby. It’s not for the... Oh! We’re having a really good time.
Michael: Yeah? Well, I kind of am, too.
Lindsay: Bye.
