VOICE (O.S.) *
They didn’t care that my boyfriend was *
dumping me that morning!
JOHN:
Oh God, I’m so sorry I-- *

(3) 4VOICE (O.S.)
Yeah, we were havin’ breakfast and he *
just stood up! Like some kinda zombie. I *
looked up and asked him what was wrong
and he said... (She begins to cry)
Youuuuu....
JOHN:
Oh, no. No, no. Please don’t-- What was *
your name again?

(4) 4VOICE (O.S.)
Nancyyyy...
JOHN:
Nancy, please don’t cry. Please don’t do
that. It’s okay. Listen, we all have *
stuff, right?... I mean, hey, if it makes *
you feel any better, I think I’m in the
middle of a some kind of life crisis *
myself. *
VOICE (O.S.)
... Yeah?
JOHN:
Oh God yeah! Are you kidding? I’m *
anxious, like, all the time. I have no *
idea what I’m doing with my life. I mean, *
for starters what is this job? Am I *
right? Do you even know what we do? Of *
course not. But it’s funny how little *
money it takes to give up on a dream *
isn’t it? I thought I was an artist. *
What about you? *
VOICE (O.S.) *
Um... I’m sorry. *
JOHN *
No, I’m sorry! About your boyfriend. *
I have a girlfriend who I don’t deserve. *
She’s beautiful and smart and runs her *
own company. We’ve been together for 3 *
years! She’s amazing! But, that doesn’t *
stop my insane brain from consistently *
questioning and over analyzing our *
relationship. I’m sure that’s fun for *
her. Oh and did I mention she’s eight *
months pregnant??? You have kids? *
VOICE (O.S.) *
...No. *
JOHN *
Well, lemme tell ya, nothing holds your *
life up to a big mirror like a due date. *
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Every *
day, I’m feeling more and more lost and
inadequate. And the craziest part I *
can’t get out of my head is... “Did I *
ever even really want a kid
ANYWAY”???????”
John is in a state. Pause.

(5) 4VOICE (O.S.)
... I’m sorry I didn’t put the order
through.
JOHN:
No, that’s...hey, you’ll get em to us
when you get em to us, right? *
VOICE (O.S.) *
Boy or girl. *
JOHN *
Oh we don’t-- We want it to be a *
surprise. We want everything to be a *
surprise... You, uh... you have a nice *
day, Nancy. *
John hangs up the phone and stares at the drawing. He
then picks it up and holds it next to an actual ultra
sound image that is taped to his computer. He just
stares. The phone rings. He picks it up.

JOHN:

VOICE (O.S.)

it go? *
