OH! IT'S GONNA SNOW TONIGHT! WE HAVE

BYE, SWEETIE!

HAVE FUN DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU GIRLS DO TOGETHER.

I WISH YOU

WOULDN'T DISCUSS

OUR SEX LIFE WITH HIM.

WHAT SEX LIFE?

OKAY, OKAY. LET'S NOT GET INTO A BIG DISCUSSION. THAT ALWAYS RUINS IT.

NO TALK. SUITS

ME FINE.

SHORTLY...

TONI, LOOK. IT'S JUST NOT WORKING FOR ME. 1 HAVE TO BE IN THE

MOOD.

IF WE WAITED UNTIL WE WERE BOTH IN THE MOOD AND BOTH HAD TIME, WE'D BE DEAD. THAT'S WHY WE AGREED TO SCHEDULE IT!

ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS THOSE REPUBLICANS VOTING DOWN THE COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY! IT'S LIKE THEY WANT US TO BURN UP IN A NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON!

AND HOW 'BOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT COULD BE A MAN WITH THE CULTURAL LITERACY OF A HEAD OF ICEBERG LETTUCES DOESN'T THAT COOL YOUR

ARDOR?

GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT, CLARICE. IS IT THE EL ECTION, NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST, OR THE LAWN FURNITURE?

I BET YOU'D FOCUS PRETTY DAMN QUICK IF IT WAS GINGER LYING HERE INSTEAD OF ME.

UH... THAT'S COMPLETELY UNTRUE! COME BACK, I'M INTO IT NOW!

I'M SURE YOU'LL DO JUST FINE ON YOUR OWN. WHEN YOU'RE

DONE, COME HELP ME MOVE THE GRILL.
