"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Donna. It's always good to know the name of my future child's mother."
"You seem to have forgotten that I have 999 other reasons for refusing you, Clark."
"Hang the reasons, Donna. Haven't you ever had a one-night stand?"
"Well, yes but I blame that on the fact that I wasn't thinking too clearly at the time."
"That's exactly my point. The nightclub was most probably overcrowded and filled with stale smoke. The music was too loud. The fellow that you just met that evening kept plying you with alcoholic drinks and offering to escort you home. The next thing you knew you woke up with a splitting headache. The fellow was lying beside you and he wasn't nearly as handsome and charming that you thought he was when you were boozed up. Am I right or am I wrong?"
"You're pretty much right but I did regret those times. That counts for something, doesn't it?"
"I suppose so."
"Besides, if I'm going to have a guy's baby, I want to be married to him or at least have known him for more than five minutes."
"So you want commitment. Is that it?"
"That's it exactly, as you would put it."
"So eventually you'll go back into the dating scene and hope for the best. In the meantime your parents will be constantly asking you about when you're going to give them a grandchild and stuff like 'why couldn't you have had a baby when you were married to what's-his-name.'"
"That's scary. It's almost like you've been eavesdropping on the conversations my parents have been having with me."
"Of course they're worried about whether they'll have any grandchildren to dote on before they get too old to enjoy them."
"So has anyone fallen for this pickup line of yours?"
"I don't consider it a pickup line, Donna. When a man sees a woman he finds extremely attractive the first thing he wants to do is make children with her. I find the direct approach saves a lot of time, effort and deception for both me and my prospective mate.
"The women I've met have invariably reacted like you but they come to appreciate my honest approach. Not a few of them had already been thinking about becoming single mothers without the extra marital duties and obligations that comes from having a husband."
"I've read about women deciding to do that but I don't think I could. I'd be too scared."
"Single motherhood has been happening since the dawn of time. It will continue to happen as long as mankind exists. I have a feeling you could manage it successfully."
"You do, huh? Well, this is where I live. Uh, you wouldn't want to come in for a drink, would you? I mean I'm not inviting you in because I want you to do what you want to do but I'm kind of interested in hearing more about these other women, you know?"
"I'd be more than happy to visit with you, Donna. Perhaps I'll be able to convince you to change your mind."
"I doubt that but you can try. What would you like to drink?"
"I'll have what you're having. Your home is nicely decorated."
"Thank you. Well?"
"Well what?"
"I thought you'd start trying to seduce me the moment we got through the door."
"Well, I probably would have kissed you by now but I haven't forgotten about the two types of martial arts, the pepper spray and the blood-curdling scream."
"I don't know any martial arts and I don't have any pepper spray. I promise not to scream as long as you behave."
"I'll try to behave."
"Oh, Clark. That was the nicest kiss I can ever remember. Are you married?"
"I was married once. We had a disagreement about children. I wanted them and she didn't. We divorced soon after and I swore I'd never get married again."
"That's too bad. If you were my husband I'd give you as many children as you could handle."
"I'd like to give you as many children as you can handle, Donna but I'm not going to marry you."
"I can't believe we're having this conversation and that I'm actually...considering it. I'm pretty regular with my periods and I'm positive I'm right in the middle of my cycle."
"I knew that."
