That's against my beliefs.

Okay. Okay. Yep.

Then, um, so what are you -- what are you saying?

You're saying that if you...

if you were pregnant...

you would, um...

Of course i would have the baby.

Wouldn't you?

emergency contraception

So, it's basically the same thing

as the regular pill,

but a higher dose,

so no hypothetical baby,

which, you know,

probably doesn't even exist,

is going to be aborted.

Now, there is a pharmacy two blocks away,

so we'll go there.

I will pay for it,

and then we can take it

and just put this whole thing behind us.

No. It'll make me all sick and

crazy with hormones,

like when i used to take birth control.

I thought catholics aren't allowed

to take birth control.

That's why i realized

it's not right for me.

Okay. Wait. Wait a minute.

So, it wasn't right for you

because it made you sick,

or because it conflicted

with your beliefs?

Why are you interrogating me?

Uh, sorry.

You're roommate is a girl,

correct?

Why does that matter?

I'm sure that she can listen

to the facts, and...

I have a confession to make.

I don't have a roommate.

I used to, but now i live alone.

Wow.

Okay, then the condom in your wastebasket,

that means that that condom is your condom.

Yes. Well, no.

I mean, it's not mine.

I didn't -- he used it, but...

Unbelievable. You lied to me.

So, because i had sex

with somebody else, now i'm a whore?

No. Oh, come on, please.

That's not what i'm saying, okay?

I'm just saying,

how am i supposed to believe you

when you say you're not ovulating

if you lied about

the condom and having a roommate?

I can't be lying about ovulating.

How would i know if i was ovulating?

I thought that you just said

you know your body.

You are making me very...

I mean, maybe i'm about to start my period.

Maybe i'm having my period right now,

because i'm very hormonal this morning.

You've got me very worked up.

Are you sure that you're not ovulating?

I am sure.

Are you pretty sure,

or are you very sure?

I am pretty very sure.

F*** me. You are pregnant.

I am not!

I just -- i can't -- i mean,

why did you wear a condom

with the other guy

and then not with me?

Because i like you,

and i wanted it to feel good for you,

and you had trouble with the condom,

and i didn't want it getting in the way.

i cannot believe that you would have sex

with two guys,

back-to-back like that.

I mean, i should probably get out of here, right?

I'm sure the next guy's coming

in any minute now, right?

Gosh, where is he?

You are such an a**hole.

I just got out

of a long-term relationship,

and i am not in a very good

emotional place,

and i do not appreciate being judged right now.
