KARANTHIR:

Cammeo, are you still trying to teach my brother how to play

that flute? I should think by now, you'd give up and spare the

rest of us the agony of hearing him.

CAMMEO:

He's doing just fine. Don't you pay him any attention to him, Fin.

FIN:

No one asked your opinion Karanthir.

knock  knock   knock

FIN:

…Someone’s at the door. Why don't you see who it is?

KARANTHIR:

Are you going to play that dreadful tune again?

FIN:

I’m going to keep practicing, if that’s what you mean.

KARANTHIR:

Then I'll be glad to answer the door.

In the foyer …

KARANTHIR:

Hmmmm? Fin, can you come here for a minute. Please?

FIN:

What is it?

KARANTHIR:

You're not going to believe this, but there’s 

a baby at our doorstep.

FIN:

Hey, it's a baby!

KARANTHIR:

I just said that. Do you think I can't recognize a baby

when it's right in front of me? What should we do?

FIN:

I'm not sure, but we can't leave it in the hallway.

KARANTHIR:

Careful Fin, let's not drop the little bugger.

FIN:

It sure is tiny. I wonder how it got here?

KARANTHIR:
I’m guessing it didn’t walk here on its own.

CAMMEO:

Oooh a baby! I adore babies. Come here little one.

CAMMEO:

… Hullo there. Aren't you just the cutest! Come, we'll sit inside 

and get acquainted. You'd like that wouldn't you?

Then in the living room …

CAMMEO:

Do you suppose it’s hungry? I know, I'll whip up some oatmeal with 

mashed bananas. Fin, be a luv and hold the baby for a bit.

FIN:

I’m not very good with babies.

CAMMEO:

Don't be silly. You just sit in the rocker ....

CAMMEO:

See there, you're a natural. Look the little one

likes you. I'll be back staight away.

FIN:

Cammeo, I really wish you wouldn't ...

CAMMEO:

Just keep rocking.

KARANTHIR:

You can't be suggesting that the child is mine?

FIN:

I think it's a possibility. Maybe one of your many 

… late night escapades?

KARANTHIR:

I'm deeply offended that you’d even think such a thing.

I mean really, do you think I’m not careful. Besides, dear

brother, need I remind you that I spent most of last year

without a body. I may be good, but I’m not that good.

FIN:

I guess you’re right. I’ll call A-m at work and see if she’s

expecting a new arrival. Aw look at it, it sure is cute. 

Whoa! I think it's leaking! Come and help me!

KARANTHIR:

You can’t be serious. These are my new leather pants.

FIN:

But I don’t know how to change a baby.

KARANTHIR:

And what is it about me that makes you believe I do?

FIN:

We need help!

FIN and KARANTHIR:

Cammeo!

Later ...

CAMMEO:

Good thing there were extra nappies in the basket. 

Do you see this? It's a tattoo on its chest. It seems cruel to me to tattoo a baby. I wonder why 

anyone would do such a thing?

FIN:

It says Li. Maybe that’s its name? 

KARANTHIR:

Hmmm, that tattoo looks familiar to me. Let me think, 

where have I seen it before? Stop looking at me like that 

dear brother. I thought you were going to call A-m.

FIN:
Right.

CAMMEO:

And gentlemen - it’s a darling baby boy!
