October Baby Page #5

Synopsis: As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah-unscripted-collapses in front of the stunned audience. After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted ... after a failed abortion attempt. Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her long-time friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past ... and find hope for her unknown future. In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah learns that every life is beautiful.

Jason.

Hey, Mr. Lawson.

I'm fine. Thanks for getting back to me.

How are you?

Yeah. Let me guess.

You're Truman, right?

Yup. Yeah.

This the charity

you were telling me about?

What is going on?

I thought I fixed that.

[ Clears Throat ] This is the classic

upon which we'll be taking our voyage.

Our M///ennium Falcon,

if you will.

[ Man ] Her name is Evelyn.

Hey, who's the old dude, man?

[Truman ] Remember Hannah?

Yeah. The spaz?

- Yeah. This is her dad.

- Oh. Hey, dude.

- Who are you?

- Bmac. His cousin.

And, uh, you know, I'm

driving them to their thing,

'cause this is my baby,

you know?

[Jacob] I'm sorry.

What did you say your name was again? Bmac.

No, your name. Your real name.

Your actual name.

L-I go by Bmac.

Seriously, why-

Truman, I came here to talk to Jason.

You mind? A little privacy, please?

Absolutely. You-

You should do that.

- Whatever, man.

- I'm sorry. What can I do for you?

Hannah's sick. You know that.

So why did you invite her?

[ Clears Throat ]

Uh-

Dude. What's that guy's

problem, man?

It's your beard. You look like the Unabomber.

Whatever, man.

I don't know.

I figured she might have some fun.

Fun.

Yeah.

Honestly, I was just

trying to help.

You're not helping, Jason.

You're not helping at all.

In fact, you've made

my position very uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.

[ Sighs 1

Look, Hannah's not listening

to me right now, and I-

Look, Mr. Lawson.

I can't get in the middle of this.

You're in the middle of this,

Jason, like it or not.

You are smack-dab

in the middle of this thing.

And I got stuff going on at my

house you have no idea about.

So I would appreciate it if you would

just take my side on this thing, okay?

Hmm?

[Sighs]

Fine.

Yeah.

I wouldn't go 10 feet

in that thing if I were you.

- [ Object Clatters ]

- She can hear you!

I didn't know that- that sticks and

stones could break your beard.

[ Object Clatters ]

[Truck Departs]

[Alarm Clock Beeping ] [Man On Rad/0

] Here on the Jon Walden show,

Re vocation Radio,

your true-

[ Continues, /nd/stinct]

[Groans] The sun is up,

and you're still here?

[Clicks Tongue]

Yup.

Gotta go

to the clinic today.

Although-

Wish I was going in scrubs.

Had a really good

talk with Hannah.

- About?

- About the trip.

Told her I didn't think

she should go,

be better

if she stayed here.

I don't necessarily think she agreed

with me, but I do think she understood.

So, she's not going?

[ Clicks Tongue ] I told her that we

trusted her to make the right decision.

So I think we're good.

Okay. I'm gonna get some coffee.

You want some coffee?

Sure.
