I want to thank Brenda for doing this transcript Tad and Dixie's first real romantic kiss: Dixie is pregnant and has gone to the Martin�s home hoping Ruth will help her with her knitting. Ruth is called away to the hospital. Tad and Dixie are sitting on the couch.Tad: So can I help you with your yarn? Dixie: Actually that�s ok. I really think I oughta get going. Tad: Nnno. Take it easy. Take it easy. You would never know it to look at me but I happen to be a world champion yarn winder. Dixie: Oh no! Tad: No, no, seriously. Thanks to my Grandma Kate. She used to knit me a sweater every Christmas and inevitably I was always cast as the chief spool. Dixie: Hah! Well� Tad: Besides you don�t want to leave with it like this. Do you? Dixie: Ok, if you don�t mind. Tad: Oh no. Not at all. Dixie: This is very nice of you. Tad: Well, I�m a very nice guy! Dixie: How come your home tonight? Tad: I live here. Dixie: I mean, how come you don�t have a date? A nice guy like you�you shouldn�t be sitting around helping an old, fat, pregnant lady wind yarn. You oughta be on the town�having fun. Tad: How do you know I�m not? Dixie: You know you spend more time at home than any guy like you I have ever met. Tad: Like me? I don�t know if I like that. Besides do you see any of my family around? Dixie: You know what I mean. I think you must be just about the nicest friend I�ve got. Tad: And I think that you are the thickest pregnant woman I have ever met in my entire life�and I�m not just talking about your girth. You want to know why I�m so nice to you? Maybe I should show you. (They kiss three or four times.) Dixie: What was that? Tad: A kiss. Dixie: I know that you were kissing me. Tad: Good. Dixie: Well, what I want to know is why. Tad: Why? Dixie: Tad Martin are you just plain stupid or have you forgotten that I�m a married woman? Tad: It was just a kiss. Would you lighten up? Dixie: Tad! Tad: And stop telling me you�re married. I know you were married. I was there - remember? Lights, camera, lightening - ZAP! Dixie: If your memory is so good then why the kiss? Tad: I don�t know. Why is there lasagna? Why is there ice cream? Dixie: Why do you always talk about food? Tad: I�m hungry. Dixie: Well get over it. Get back to the point. Tad: The point? Alright the point is.. uuhh.. well.. I�m a very affectionate person and whenever I see somebody I�m very attracted to I� I wanted to kiss you. Dixie: Oh - just like that? Tad: Yeah - just like that! Would you stop acting like I just tried to kill you in cold blood? It won�t happen again alright? I promise I�ll be good. I�ll be better than good. I�ll be a martyr. Dixie: Why can�t you be serious? Tad: Why can�t you be anything but serious? Dixie: I can not be casual about things all the time like you are. Tad: Well that�s your loss. Dixie: I adore my husband. You know that. Tad: Yeah. So I heard. Dixie: He adores me. We are crazy about each other. Tad, I can not even think about another man. Tad: Until she met the Tadski! Dixie: What? Tad: Never mind. Dixie: You know I don�t think he would have liked seeing that kiss - not one bit. Tad: I�ll remember not to do it in front of him. Dixie: Well you remember never to do it again. Tad: I said I would, ok? Dixie: You are so irresponsible and reckless and thoughtless and inconsiderate of me. (Tad panting - making fun of her outburst) Dixie: What? What? What? Tad: (Yelling) That�s exactly the way you look. It�s absurd. I promise you it will never happen again. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I will not try to kiss you again for the next century. Is that good enough? Dixie: Promise? Promise? Never again? Tad: I promise. (Dixie walks towards the door) Tad: Wait, wait. C�mon. Don�t take off. Let�s not take this thing too far. Alright? I mean we can still see each other. Look, as long as I keep my lips to myself everything�s alright. Dixie: I don�t � Tad: Come on. Somebody�s gotta make sure that Junior gets his allotment of fat and cholesterol. Dixie: Tad, I don�t think it�s such a good idea. Tad: Why? Dixie: Because you need a really special girl and if you�re hanging around with some fat, old married, pregnant lady, you�re not looking for her. Tad: A very special girl? Dixie: Yeah. Yes, someone who is going to love you just as much as you love her. You�ve got a really big heart sweetheart and I know someday your gonna make some girl very happy. Tad: Uhhh - I don�t know. There are not too many special girls left in town that would have me. Dixie: Oh I don�t believe that. I don�t believe that for one minute. Tad: Name five. Dixie: Five! Tad: Mm-hmm. Dixie: Oh thanks! Uh, how about just one? How about Skye ok? She�s terrific. I think she likes you. You could try things out. It might work. Tad: Just a second. Skye and I have explored our friendship in a past life, ok? Dixie: Well things can change. Tad: I don�t want them to change. That would be so weird. I mean that would make me your step-son-in-law. Forget it. Dixie: You gotta have somebody Tad. Tad: Don�t worry about me. I�ll find somebody. I promise. Dixie: You will? Tad: Oh yeah. One way or another Tad�s gonna get the girl�all by himself. Dixie: Well I just want you to be happy. Well� Tad: Yeah� Uhh Dixie: Yeah, it�s getting late. Tad: (Looking at his watch) Oooh it�s June alright. I�ll drive you home. Ok? Dixie: No, I don�t think that�s a good idea. I�ll call a cab.
