Angela Maretto: [about Larry]
He sure is great with those kids.
Suzanne Stone:
He's gotta stop eating that junk. He's getting a rubber tire around him.
Angela Maretto:
He'll make a wonderful father someday.
Suzanne Stone:
He calls them love handles. I call them flab.
Angela Maretto:
What about you?
Suzanne Stone: [horrified]
Me? You think I look fat?
Angela Maretto:
No! What about the idea of kids? That's what I mean.
Suzanne Stone:
Well, I love kids. I absolutely love them, but a woman in my field with a baby has two strikes against her. Say I'm in New York.
Angela Maretto: [confused]
New York?
Suzanne Stone:
Well, for instance. And I'm suddenly called on some foreign assignment, like a royal wedding or a revolution in South America. You can't run from place to place with your crew following and conduct serious interviews with a big, fat stomach. Or say you've already had the baby, and you've got this blubber, these boobs out to here. It's just so gross.
