Narrator: There should be no such thing as a maternal clock! Who the hell would want to have kids? Okay, I’m being biased! But a lot of people do like kids. I guess that’s their thing. It’s like some people like Pepsi instead of Coke. (In a grocery store)
Marisa: (Thinking) Okay girl, you can do this. Just smile…Don’t be nervous. They smell fear. Don’t cuss anybody out and you’ll be okay. (Breathes in and out) I can do this!
Ash: Marisa? (She screams) Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you!
Marisa: Sorry, just a little jumpy!
Misty: What are you doing here?
Marisa: I’m actually here for a job interview.
Ash: Really? Oh, I guess it's already been two weeks! So you’re out of the stressful job already?
Marisa: Yeah. Hate to be out of work, but under those circumstances I was desperate. But what are you guys doing here?
Ash: Satisfying her cravings.
Marisa: Well she is eating for two now! (Misty giggles) Though you have been eating that way your whole life Ash!
Ash: What can I say? I love food! (Screaming nearby) Huh?
Marisa: Great, screaming brats! Hope you guys are ready for this when you have your baby.
Ash: Oh, don’t listen to Marisa. She hates kids.
Marisa: True.
Misty: Oh she hates everything!
Marisa: Not true! (Drew runs nearby) Isn’t that Drew? (Screaming continues)
Ash: Yo Drew!
Drew: Guys? What are you doing here?
Marisa: I’m here for an interview and Misty has cravings. How about you?
Drew: Well I was picking something from the cereal aisle! But then I heard Sara screaming and came rushing over.
Ash: She’s got quite the mouth on her. (Nearby)
May: Please Sara, calm down. Please calm down.
Sara: BUT I WANT THIS! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!
May: Please Sara.
Drew: May, what’s going on?
May: She wanted the stuffed animal and I said no and then she started screaming. (Drew grabs Sara and they go outside)
Marisa: Hmm…Headaches!
May: (Sighs) I’m at my wits-end with that girl! She’s been such a spoiled brat lately. Here’s a tip Misty, don’t give in too much…you’ll regret it.
Misty: Glad to know.
Marisa: Tell Drew to get the belt out.
May: That’s the problem…Drew doesn’t believe in hitting a child and neither do I.
Ash: So what does he do?
May: He just takes her outside and talks to her. I know it’s not the most effective idea, but it’s a lot better than hitting.
Marisa: (Gasps) It’s time for my interview. Gotta go you guys! Wish me luck! (She runs off)
Misty: I hope she gets that job. (May yawns) Are you okay May?
May: Not really. I just feel like I’m doing a terrible job as a parent and the thought has got me all worked up. Not to mention, I haven’t been able to sleep the last few weeks.
Ash: Work stress I take it?
May: That too!
Misty: Okay, now I’m scared.
May: Huh? Oh Misty, don’t get discouraged. I’m glad that you’re having a baby and you should be too. Don’t worry. All parents go through their share of mishaps with a child. It’s part of the learning experience. (A little later at the apartments)
Wallace: Mommy! Look what I learned today!
Winona: Wallace, not in the house! After I put your sister down for a nap, we’ll go outside and you can show me.
Wallace: Okay! (The door opens) Aunt Misty!
Misty: Hi guys.
Winona: Back so soon?
Misty: Yeah, my stomach is hurting.
Winona: Oh, are you having morning sickness?
Misty: Not really. It feels more like an advanced version of cramps.
Winona: Oh I’ve had that when I was pregnant with Wallace. Just take a little nap. I’ll be by later and give you some tea to help you out.
Misty: Okay, thanks Winona. (She goes to her room and lays down) Oh…am I going to have a boy or a girl. I can’t wait for you to come out little one. I guess only time will tell. (A couple of hours later)
Winona: It’s okay Steph. Come on sweetie. Don’t cry! (Door opens) Huh? Oh Misty, did she wake you up?
Misty: Oh, don’t worry about it. I had to get ready for work anyways so I guess Stephanie was my alarm clock. Where’s Wallace?
Winona: Taking a nap. Are you feeling a little better?
Misty: A little. (Knock on the door) I’ll get it! (Opens door) Hi guys!
Lanette: Hey mother of two and mother-to-be!
Winona: What brings you here?
Lanette: Just wanted to say adios before we go.
Misty: Where are you going this time? Another protest I’m assuming!
Lanette: I wish. Going to visit my sister!
Winona: Wait, I thought Bridgette was in halfway home here in town.
Lanette: Oh that was what happened several years ago. But then she met some guy, moved all the way to California and ended up getting addicted to cocaine. So we’ll be gone for the next week or so for interventions and all that mess.
Bebe: Bye ladies! (They leave)
Winona: Oh! Damn it! I just remembered that next weekend I have to work and I have no one to watch after Wallace and Stephanie.
Misty: I could watch them. Abigail gave me that Saturday off so I could watch them for you.
Winona: Misty, you know first hand that they’re a handful.
Misty: That’s no problem. I don’t mind it really. Ash will be off that weekend too and we could use the practice once it comes time to have the baby.
Winona: I suppose that’s a good idea. (A little later at the diner)
Marcus: Three cheers for the girl who is back in the working world! CHEERS!
Marisa: Put a sock in it!
Tracey: Come on. We’re happy you got the job at the grocery store.
Marcus: And they only ask that you work 6-8 hours a day. You won’t be so tired and you can go back to being your regular, perky self again!
Marisa: Well I’ll be the judge of that myself. Though my new boss seems a lot nicer than the last one! (Dawn walks up)
Dawn: Ugh! I am never babysitting that brat again!
Marisa: What’s up Dawn?
Dawn: Just because I’m desperate for money and will do anything as long as it’s within the law, doesn’t mean I should be sent in the cage of the beast.
Marisa: Babysitting? Can’t help you there! I hate kids!
Marcus: No you don’t! And soon Tracey will plant his seed in your womanly dirt and I can be a Godfather to… (She hits him) Ouch! So who’d you babysit?
Dawn: I was babysitting May’s daughter. Ugh. I am never going back there. I don’t care how badly I need the money.
Marcus: Oh…I’m with you on that one. I babysat for her a couple of weeks ago and it did not end well. First she kept bugging to make chocolate sundaes and I told her no because May didn’t want her eating that crap. And then she cried and cried and threw a huge tantrum. And then I caved in and gave it to her. Big mistake! She started hopping around and then she just threw up all over the place.
Tracey: Come on. She’s just a three year old. How bad can she be?
Dawn: You have no idea!
Marisa: Children need to be punished! When I was bad, I got hit with a ruler.
Marcus: Ha, you call that a punishment? I got the yard stick! All a part of being brought up in a catholic house. My granny had perfect aim!
Tracey: I got the flyswatter! (Misty comes out)
Misty: Hey guys. What can I get for you?
Marcus: A round of chili cheese fries for us! Little buddy here got the job!
Misty: That’s great!
Marcus: And even better is that her schedule is much better than it used to be and so she can shack up with… (Marisa hits him)
Marisa: Shut up or I’ll break out your Granny’s yard stick! (He flinches) That’s better!
Marcus: So, how is Ash Jr. in there?
Misty: Oh geez…I’m getting these ugly cramps. Don’t worry. I’m all better now.
Dawn: Yeah well when you have your baby, don’t come crying to me to babysit! I’ve had it up to here with little kids! (Thinks about Conway) Hmm…I wonder if Conway and Roxanne had their baby! Hmm…I hope their little bastard gives them a hard time!
Marcus: Wow. Talk about vengeful!
Marisa: Dawn, remember karma! (That night at May and Drew’s apartment)
May: (Yawns) She’s finally asleep.
Drew: Great and it only took…two and a half hours. Hmm…better than last night!
May: What the hell are we going to do?
Drew: Easy, we try to get her to sleep at 6:00pm so we can get her in before the repeat episode of Larry King!
May: Drew, what are we going to do about our daughter? She’s out of control. She needs to know the difference between good and bad. How in the world did she end up like this?
Drew: You’re blowing things way out of proportion! She isn’t that… (May glares at him) Okay, you’ve got a point. But if anyone is to blame, it has to be you.
May: Excuse me?
Drew: You’re always caving in to her demands!
May: What about you? I told her she couldn't have that toy and you went and bought it for her anyways! Look…we should be focusing on what to do and not who is to blame.
Drew: Well if you ask me she needs a little disciplinary action involving…
May: Oh Drew, you don’t mean corporal punishment, do you? We swore that we would never hit her.
Drew: Well sometimes kids need to be…but you’re right. It is cruel and barbaric. And every time I see her…I just can’t do it. (Later that night)
May: (Groans) Drew? Drew! (She kicks him)
Drew: WHAT? I’m up!
May: Did you forget to turn off the television?
Drew: Huh?
May: It sounds like the television is on out there. Do me a favor and turn it off!
Drew: (Sighs) When I get back to the room, you better be naked. (In the other room) Huh? What the?
Sara: Hi Daddy!
Drew: Sara? What in the world are you doing up past your bedtime watching…?
Peter Griffin: Is she the one we videotaped taking a dump? (Turns off the television)
Drew: Go to bed now! Huh? Where’d she go?
Sara: Let’s play Candyland!
Drew: No Sara. I have work tomorrow and you have to go to sleep now. (He picks her up) Now come on. It’s time for bed.
Narrator: Six hours and three games of Candyland later…
May: (Yawns) Drew, are you out here? Huh? (Gasp) Drew!
Drew: Huh? What? What? May, what time is it?
May: It’s a little after six. Were you out here all night?
Drew: It’s six already?
May: Okay, I see what happened. Sara was up again and you were trying to get her to go back to sleep.
Drew: All I remember was playing Candyland and playing ballerina and…I got played, didn’t I?
May: Like a fiddle! What happened to putting your foot down?
Drew: Things change when you’re sleep deprived! This is so unfair. I work a full day’s job and barely get any sleep when I get home because I’m up all night with our daughter. Meanwhile, you get her when she’s quiet and I find that so unfair!
May: Excuse me?
Drew: Not so loud, you’ll wake her up!
May: Fine! (They go in their bedroom) You have no idea what I deal with when I’m doing my job. I am tired every day and it’s because of her. Being a full-time mother and worker is not an easy task.
Drew: Look, let’s not fight into who has it harder.
May: Fine!
Drew: I know we’re both a little tired and on edge lately. Maybe we just need a weekend away from everything. Away from work, chores, and even Sara!
May: That’s all fine and dandy Drew, but how the hell are you going to do that? Your job has been kicking your butt, same with mine, and no one will watch Sara.
Drew: Well…I do have Saturday off.
May: I guess I can get a break on Saturday and make it up on Sunday. Next task is to try and find a babysitter. (A little later over the phone)
Grace: Hey May, what’s going on?
May: Grace, I was wondering if you would be able to babysit for us this weekend.
Grace: This weekend? Oh May, I can’t do that. I’ve got a function at the church. You know I can’t say no to Sister Eunice.
May: I understand. (Hangs up) At least she has a valid excuse! Let’s go down this list. (Dials the phone)
Dawn: Sorry May but I’ve got to get this tooth pulled on Saturday.
Tracey: I have work. Sorry.
Marisa: You’re barking up the wrong tree! You know I don’t like children. Plus I'm starting my new job on Saturday.
Marcus: (Imitating a voice machine) We’re sorry, the number you are trying to reach is no longer… (Hangs up)
May: It's hopeless! (Dials the phone) Hi Misty! I was wondering if you would be willing to watch after Sara this weekend.
Misty: This weekend? Well…I guess we can handle that. I could use the practice.
May: Oh Misty, you’re such a saint. Thank you so much. (Thinking) Finally, a weekend alone with Drew! (The next morning at the college)
Marisa: You are such a sucker!
Misty: Am not! It’s just that…
Marisa: The way I see it is that Winona wants you to take care of her kids on Saturday. I can’t really say that making you a sucker. But when you get May’s brat involved, then you are a bright red lollipop.
Misty: Sara isn’t that bad! Okay, maybe she is! The point is that May was at the end of her ropes and needed a break. Plus, Ash and I could use the practice.
Marisa: So you’re going to take care of a four year old, a three year old, and a one year old. Well someone is wearing her ovaries on the outside! That’s one risky act, but if that’s what you want to do I’m not going to stop you.
Misty: You’re welcome to help me out if you…
Marisa: Not that desperate. Besides, I start work this weekend. Well, time for class!
Misty: Yeah…
Marisa: Oh yeah…Did you decide to finish this semester?
Misty: Yeah. But at least after I have the baby I can do one more semester of classes and I can get my degree.
Marisa: Lucky you. I’ve still got a long way to go to get a degree in anything. See you later.
Narrator: I’m with Marisa on this one. Misty is a big sucker for taking care of that many kids. Or at least May’s little brat! Let’s skip all the way to Saturday.
Winona: Thank you so much Ash.
Ash: Not a problem.
Wallace: Is this where you knocked up Misty?
Winona: (Gasp) Where did you hear such a thing Wallace?
Wallace: From you. I don’t know what that means but… (She covers his mouth)
Winona: Kids say the cutest things!
Ash: Right.
Winona: Huh? Where’s Misty? I know she left the apartment before me this morning.
Ash: She’s in the bathroom.
Winona: It must be morning sickness again. Oh God! Look at the time. I have to get going! Be good to Uncle Ash! (She leaves)
Ash: Okay kiddo! What do you want to do?
Wallace: I can do cartwheels!
Ash: Yeah…that’s great. We can do that…OUTSIDE! But I think your Aunt Misty would love to see that so we’ll wait for her. In the meantime, why don’t we play a game of cards?
Wallace: Okay.
Ash: So how about it little man. Do you want to play Go Fish or War or Slap Jack?
Wallace: How about Poker?
Ash: Poker…Who taught you how to play that?
Wallace: Aunt Lanette! (A little later)
Ash: Okay, two-pair!
Wallace: I have a full house!
Ash: Unbelievable! I’m getting beaten by a kid who doesn’t even know how to tie his shoes. Misty, are you finished in there yet? (In the bathroom)
Misty: (Gasps) Oh man…why are these cramps coming now?
Ash: (Shouting) Misty!
Misty: I’ll be right out! (Knock on the door)
Ash: Who could that be? (Opens the door) Hi May!
May: Okay, she’s here. Here are the emergency numbers, snacks, drinks, and books! And thanks again for your help! Be good! (She leaves)
Ash: What just happened? (A door opens)
Misty: Sorry for the wait!
Sara: Let’s watch TV!
Wallace: Yeah! (They run to the set)
Ash: Um, why is May’s daughter here?
Misty: Oh, that’s right! I forgot to tell you about that. Well the thing is, I kind of told May that we would watch after Sara today.
Ash: Huh? Misty, we have enough on our plate today with Wallace and Stephanie. There’s three of them and only two of us! We’re outnumbered!
Misty: It’ll be fine Ash. (Stephanie crying)
Ash: Fine. Have fun with that…Mommy!
Misty: I will…Daddy! (Picks up Stephanie) It’s okay sweetie. (Groans) Ugh…
Ash: Misty! Are you okay? (Grabs Stephanie) You almost dropped the baby!
Misty: Sorry Ash… (Panting)
Ash: (Sighs) Okay, I see what’s going on here. You can watch after Wallace and Sara and I’ll heat up Stephanie’s bottle. (Delia enters the room)
Delia: Ash, I’ll be going to the market so…Did I become a grandmother early?
Ash: Not yet. We’re watching after Winona’s kids…and May’s daughter for the practice.
Delia: Well that’s nice. Ash, I would like to remind you that anything that is broken between now and the time the kids leave will come out of your paycheck.
Ash: I know.
Delia: Misty, are you okay? You look a little pale.
Misty: Huh? Oh yeah…I’ll be okay…Just a little pain.
Delia: Okay. I’ll be back a little later. (She leaves)
Misty: She seems a lot more cheerful.
Ash: She still cries at night because we’re having a baby.
Misty: It was still better than telling my family! (A little later)
Ash: (Yawns) Glad they’re enjoying the television. (Snoozes)
Man on TV: We’ll return to Blue’s Clues right after this!
Wallace: Let’s play something. Ooh…That’s a pretty bear!
Sara: He’s my favorite. I just got him!
Wallace: Can I hold him?
Sara: No!
Wallace: Why not?
Sara: He’s mine.
Wallace: Please?
Sara: NO! (She hits him and Wallace cries)
Ash: (Snorts) No Joel…I didn’t steal your ham sandwich! Huh? Wallace, why are you crying? Come on. Let’s go into the bathroom to dry you off!
Misty: Ash, what’s going on out there?
Ash: It’s Wallace. What are you doing?
Misty: Changing Stephanie’s diaper!
Ash: Okay, I’ll take care of Wallace then. Sara, sit in front of the television and don’t move. (In another room)
Misty: Okay, you’re all clean now. (Stephanie giggles) You like that don’t you? (Groans) Oh God…Not again! (In the bathroom)
Ash: Hey, come on now. No more tears. Come on. You want to be a tough guy.
Wallace: (Sobbing) But…she…hit…me!
Ash: Wait, who did?
Wallace: Sara.
Ash: She did. Where?
Wallace: Right here! (Points to his face)
Ash: Oh…it looks fine from here. But just to be safe, I’ll put something on it. Now where does Mom keep it? (Opens a drawer) Here we are! Let’s keep that cold compress on your head to keep you from getting a bump. I don’t feel like being yelled by your mom. Feel better?
Wallace: Huh? Yeah. Thanks.
Ash: Come on, let’s check on Misty. (They go in the other room) Misty?
Wallace: Aunt Misty! Aunt Misty fell and she can’t get up! (Misty panting)
Ash: Oh my God! Misty! Misty, are you okay?
Misty: Ash…I need…help!
Ash: Come on, we’re going go to the hospital. Kids, get in the car! We’re going on a little trip!
Sara: Are we getting ice cream?
Ash: Maybe later. We have to do this one thing first! In the car now!
Wallace: Can I take this thing off my head? It’s making me cold!
Ash: Keep it on! Let’s go! (In the car)
Wallace: Where are we going?
Ash: Just on a…field trip! We need to do this thing for Aunt Misty so she can feel better.
Wallace: Like a doctor? Are we going to get a shot?
Ash: No, no, no! No shots! Just for Misty, not you guys!
Wallace: UNCLE ASH IS GOING TO KILL US WITH A SHOT!
Ash: You’ve got it all wrong! No one is getting a shot! Ugh! How do I work this baby seat? (Stephanie cries) Oh sweetie! Stop crying!
Sara: Shut up! (Crying harder)
Ash: Sara, that was very rude!
Sara: You shut up!
Ash: What the…you little brat!
Misty: (Weakly) Ash.
Ash: Ah! Don’t worry Misty. I’m getting you to the hospital. (Dials phone) I know Winona is at work so I can’t call her…But May and Drew should…UGH! They’re not answering! Where the hell are they?
Narrator: At that time, May and Drew were getting a “couples” massage. Very romantic! Good for them…but very sucky for poor Ash. Well…let’s just skip all the way ahead to a little while after they got to the hospital.
Sara: This is boring!
Wallace: Are we getting shots?
Ash: Just sit still. And for the final time, you’re not going to get a shot!
Sara: But I’m bored!
Ash: Here’s a magazine. Read that! (Cradles Stephanie) At least you’re being quiet! (Stomach growling) And I suppose you’re hungry!
Wallace: Yes.
Ash: Here’s a dollar. Go get something from the machine. Oh wait. Here’s another dollar, get me a Snickers bar. (Tearing sounds) What was that? Hey, what are you doing?
Sara: This is boring! (Tears a page) This is boring! (Ash grabs the magazine) Give me that! (A doctor walks out)
Doctor: Ash Ketchum?
Ash: That’s me! How’s Misty? Is everything okay?
Doctor: May we speak in private?
Ash: Yeah. Oh…I need someone to watch after the children.
Doctor: Sure. We have a little nursery. Nurse! Please take these kids to the play area.
Ash: Oh, there’s another one at the vending machine.
Nurse: Okay.
Ash: Please tell me. Is Misty okay?
Doctor: Misty will be okay. (He sighs) Physically!
Ash: Come again?
Doctor: Come with me. I’ll explain everything. (A few minutes later in Misty’s room)
Ash: Misty?
Misty: Ash…I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.
Ash: Misty, don’t apologize. It wasn’t your fault and there was nothing you or anybody else could have done. These things happen!
Misty: (Tears up) Our baby…is gone.
Ash: Maybe you weren’t ready. Maybe that was just a sign that we weren’t ready to become parents.
Misty: Ash…I was looking forward to being a mother. I know I was upset and shocked when I first found out…but then…but then…I was looking forward to having this baby.
Ash: I know…and I was looking forward too…It’ll be okay Misty. You’ll have your chance to have kids later on. (She sobs) It’s going to be okay. (A little later at a spa)
Drew: Do you feel better?
May: Much better!
Drew: This was a great idea. We should do this more often.
May: Little problem there! We have work, school, responsibilities at home, and a child, remember?
Drew: Okay! But if we’re close to a nervous breakdown again, then can we do this again?
May: Sure!
Drew: Whoa! New message!
Machine: Message one.
Ash: Drew, it’s Ash. Look, we’re going to be in the hospital for a little bit. Nothing to worry about, it’s just a routine…HEY GET OFF THAT! (Beep)
Drew: They’re at the hospital.
May: What? (Back in Misty’s room)
Misty: Are you mad at me?
Ash: No. Why would you ask such a question? Misty, we’ll have children one day. But for now, our goal in life should be focusing on you finishing up college and me to continue with my work.
Misty: I suppose.
Ash: It’ll be okay.
Misty: We didn’t even know if it was a boy or a girl.
Ash: (Sighs) Oh Misty… (The door opens)
Nurse: Mr. Ketchum! Your kids are loose!
Ash: What?
Nurse: Well only two of them. I have this little one right here.
Ash: Okay, I’ll have to go catch them myself. Misty, could you watch Stephanie? (He runs out the door)
Misty: Okay. (Cradles Stephanie) Oh…Steph… (In the hallway)
Ash: Where are you? Sara? Wallace? Come out now! (Sees a moving cart) What the hell was…Ah! SARA! Get off that! (Runs after the cart) Get back here! (Wallace walks across) WALLACE WATCH OUT!
Wallace: Huh? (Screams)
Ash: I’ve got you! (Jumps and pushes Wallace out of the way) Oh man…that was a close… (Gets hit by the cart) Ow…That hurt!
Wallace: Ah! Are you okay?
Ash: What were you doing out of the nursery?
Wallace: I was going to the bathroom.
Ash: (Glares) Are you telling me the truth?
Wallace: Yes.
Ash: Okay. Now for the other one! SARA!
Sara: Again! Again!
Ash: Never again! (He picks her up) You are to never do that again!
Sara: Let me go! (She slaps him)
Ash: Alright, that does it! (Takes off his belt) I’m going to do what your parents should have done a long time ago! (Starts spanking her)
Wallace: Whoa! That’s gotta hurt! (A little later)
May: I’m so sorry for anything our daughter did.
Ash: It’s okay. I set her straight on a couple of things and now she’s being a good girl. Of course it’s only been 20 minutes.
Drew: What’d you do?
Ash: I brought this out! (Pulls off his belt) And that’s the end of that chapter! (His pants fall down) Whoops! Guess I was wearing my loose pants! (Pulls his pants up) But you can see where I’m going with this. I’m sorry if I was out of line…
May: It’s okay Ash.
Drew: We didn’t want to do corporal punishment, but sometimes that’s the most effective measure!
Ash: Look, the way I see it is that if she hates to be spanked, she’ll stop doing things that will get her spanked in the first place.
Drew: Makes sense!
May: Ash, why did you take the kids to the hospital?
Ash: Oh yeah, that. Misty had a miscarriage. (Both gasp)
May: Oh my God. Is she okay?
Ash: Eventually, she’ll be okay. For now, she’s just very sad. She was looking forward to having this baby. And to lose it so early…It just shattered her! (A little later outside Misty’s room)
Winona: So what’s going to happen next?
Doctor: Well we’re going to keep her here for the night just for observation purposes and maybe a couple of days.
Winona: May I see her?
Doctor: Of course. (She opens the door)
Misty: (Sighs) Oh Stephanie…how I envy your mother! She was able to bring you into the world. I guess I won’t get my chance to experience that…
Winona: Oh Misty.
Misty: Huh? Winona.
Winona: Sorry. I came to get my kids. Misty, I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Misty: I’ll have kids one day…Until then, I can focus on my life in the here and now. But the sting of losing the child you were carrying…that’s a pain that I don’t ever want to feel again.
Winona: You’ll be a mother one day. (Misty tears up) I know you will.
~*Preview*~
Dawn: Thanksgiving! A tradition here where we get together as a family and stuff our faces with a bunch of fatty foods and watch football games! How I loathe this holiday to my very core. And being with my family…it brings back horrible memories. Next time on Romance 102, Chapter 41…See you next time!
