Juno Page #2

JUNO:

Jesus, I didn't say it was.

ROLLO:

Well, it's not. You're not a lion in

a pride!

(to himself)

These kids, acting like lions with

their unplanned pregnancies and their

Sunny Delights.

INT. DRUGSTORE - BATHROOM - DAY

In the dim, reeking public bathroom, Juno hovers over the

commode with her boxer shorts around her ankles. She clumsily

tries to use the pregnancy test.

We see the test box sitting on the sink. It's a TeenWave

Discount Pregnancy Test. The accompanying outdated package

photo is of a shrugging 80s teen with a resigned expression.

The fine print on the box reads "From the makers of Sun-Glitz

Lightening Hair Spritz!"

INT. DRUGSTORE - FRONT COUNTER - DAY

Juno holds the developing test in her hand and slaps the

open test box on the front counter. Rollo scans it and bags

it indifferently.

JUNO:

Oh, and this too.

She places a giant licorice Super Rope on the counter.

ROLLO:

So what's the prognosis, Fertile

Myrtle? Minus or plus?

JUNO:

(examining stick)

I don't know. It's not... seasoned

yet. Wait. Huh. Yeah, there's that

pink plus sign again. God, it's

unholy.

She shakes the stick desperately in an attempt to skew the

results. Shake. Shake. Nothing.

ROLLO:

That ain't no Etch-a-Sketch. This is

one doodle that can't be undid,

homeskillet.

EXT. MACGUFF HOUSE - EVENING

Juno walks slowly and dejectedly up the street to her house,

gnawing on the Super Rope. She stops and loops the Super

Rope over a low-hanging tree branch, contemplating how to

fashion a noose.

Juno trudges toward her HOUSE. The yard is a wild tangle of

prairie grass and wild flowers.
