Speaker A
Let's break the internet. You tell the doctor you don't want to go on the pill again. You know what he'll do?
Speaker A
Well, he looks at a UFO inside you. Do you know what one of those is or not?
Speaker A
Not. Right, other name coil. Do you know what a slinky looks like? Well, it's like a huge slinky and it's got barbed wire on it and they squish it all up and stuff it up inside your bladder and it hooks on and it stops
Speaker A
babies. Feeling any better then? Your mother sucks, jelly belly. Did he say that? Oh, she does not. Just to get your tongue.
Speaker A
Hello, I'm Geraldine. Believe you expect me. No, I'm expecting our new vicar. Unless, of course, you are the new vicar and they've landed us with a woman. Some sort of insane joke.
Speaker A
Oh, dear. Oh my God. You were expecting a bloke, beard, Bible, bad breath. Yes, that sort of thing.
Speaker A
Yeah. And instead you got a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom.
Speaker A
Shh, be quiet. It's so normal. Play it with pants instead and that is dippy.
Speaker A
Morning. Sit down, please. What did the cranky say to you? It's a fender bender, she. You were pretty peach skin cream.
Speaker A
And sometimes Mama roll on deodorant. David! What are you doing? I'm the Easter Bunny. You can't be. I'm the Easter Bunny.
Speaker A
I promised Letitia Cropley I'd do it. Well, so did I. Mad Betty must have forgotten she'd already asked me.
Speaker A
How demeaning. Now, after all the time I've spent on these bloody ears. Well, I say you look surprisingly cute in that. Shut up. Nice sexy little tail you've got there.
Speaker A
I suggest we keep very quiet about this. You do one end of the village and I'll do the other. This will remain our secret. Fair enough.
Speaker A
You sure you don't want to come back to my burrow afterwards for a little bit of bunny funny business? Quite sure.
Speaker A
Oh hell. Joy, will a water birth stop it from hurting? Well, I'm afraid my answer would have to be no, it won't. Because you don't get one of these without a lot of pain. And believe me, moms and dads,
Speaker A
I know pain. What's this for then? Yeah, you catch the baby in it. Should have seen the one that got away.
Speaker A
Come in number three, your time's up. No, that's what we call the stink net.
Speaker A
And if you're pushing down with all of your might, a baby isn't the only thing that's going to pop out. So, dad, if you allow your partner to choose a water birth, it will be your job to scoop out
Speaker A
all the tots. I'll take it off. I want Jim. I want to find one man on Earth who isn't the spawn of Satan. Oh.
Speaker A
And you can shut it, too, egghead. You're all the same, aren't you? You're just a bunch of you should be lined up and force-fed Winnetou up your nose till you die. This is actually what I'd like to do to your
Speaker A
oh-so-charming brother, who seems to keep his brains in his frankly, is the size of a button mushroom.
Speaker A
So pretty. Oh my God. Get away. Oh my God, what is that? Oh, it's just my big fat ass.
Speaker A
Thought it was someone else. It was just my own ass. Clean card, right? And watch these magic fingers.
Speaker A
Well, there we go. Doily. I'm almost unbelievably beautiful, aren't I? Are you? Yes, I am. Yes.
Speaker A
You, right, are the barren wife. Oh, thanks. Oh, thanks. Now everyone knows. You've told everyone.
Speaker A
Oh, thanks. Sorry to be so insensitive, but it's true, right? And you're and you're cross and haughty, aren't you?
Speaker A
And you're sitting there and you know, you just spread your legs, put them up there. Don't get funny.
Speaker A
That ain't happening after 300 years, is it? Dream on, babe. So right, they threw me down on the bed, right? Hold my hands like that. Hold my hands. And he's on top of me, right? And he's penetrating me through my gusset
Speaker A
and he's going like this, while you are watching. Yes, 'cause I want a baby, don't I? So may the Lord open.
Speaker A
Yes, listen. Believe me, I want to give you a baby. May the Lord open and deliver a new keeper, praise be.
Speaker A
Not as a human slave, if that's all right with you.
