        there was confusion in Eve's eyes

she was desperately trying to get her dough to rise

                     but it wouldn't

it couldn't be

Martha White told her that adding yeast could help her see

                               [somewhere in the Lincoln sea]

1st mate :

                        so, how long do you think we’ll be stuck

                                  [howard shakes his head]

howard :

                         i was hoping for better luck

1st mate :

                        she’s still love-struck

                                       [Howard nods]

                        how is she coping?

howard :

                        Anaheim Ducks

1st mate :

                         really?

howard :

                        she loves those guys

1st mate :

                        maybe you should buy a hockey puck

                                    [Howard shrugs]

                        maybe …

                              [somewere in Luck Wisconsin]

bob :

                        there you go passing the buck again

gary :

                        i’m telling you Eve & that guy are just friends

bob :

                        pass the Donald Duck

                        and how do you figure that?

gary :

                        i just know

bob :

                        well, if you ask me, I think he snuck into her heart

gary :

                        if he did, He must have a lot of charm

bob :

                        enough to fill up three pickup trucks from what I hear

                        she was a sittin duck

                                       [back at Eve’s]

                        no need for alarm, I’ll figure this out

                        i told him my feathers were already plucked

                        but he continued to shout I love you

                        what was I supposed to do?

                                   then it struck Eve

                        what if he succeeded

                                 before he struck out?

                        would she have conceded

                        that he stuck his neck out for …. ?

                                   [front door opens]

brad :

                        honey I’m home

eve :

                        i’m in here honey

                                  [enters the kitchen]

brad :

                        what are you making?

eve :

                        cinnamon rolls

brad :

                         smells good

                         give me a kiss

                                          {smooch}

                        i’ll be in the backyard if you need me

eve :

                        okay sweetie

                                        [Brad exits]

                        see Howard, my waters receded

                        and soon yours will too

                        but the more she kneeded

                        the more she needed

                                       her husband

                                                                          love,

                                                                          eve & howard
