K: This is your pregnancy test?
L: That is really none of your business.
K: Oh don't you dare try to lay that on me and then just walk away.
L: Get out of my way Doc!
K: Oh in your dreams, come here.
L: Let go of me Doc, please let go....fine! What do you want?
K: Is this true? Do you think you could be pregnant?
L: That is usually why one buys a pregnanct test.
K: Oh my God Lucy.
L: You know what, it doesn't concern you ok?
K: Now how can you say that, that this doesn't concern me? Unless....
L: Unless what?
K: It isn't mine is it?
L: You're right, you got me, you know what...it's not your baby. It could be, I don't know, any one of a dozen guys maybe.
K: Oh Lucy!
L: No maybe I can narrow it down you know to 8 or 9 guys.
K: Alright that's enough. Look, I'm sorry but I did just catch you with Jack not too long ago.
L: And I have told you, and told you, and told you...I didn't sleep with Jack.
K: I believe you okay? And I am sorry but I'm a bit in shock right now. I mean, you being pregnant is the last thing I expected.
L: Well you know you're not the only one.
K: And to think that you and I, may, we could be having a baby.
L: Ya, Ya.
K: Well how did this happen?
L: Oh boy!
K: Look, let me rephrase that.
L: Doc, we both know how this happened.
K: I mean we were careful.
L: Yes, we were very careful but sometimes careful isn't 100% effective, right? And so I guess the only thing that's really effective is abstinence and we haven't exactly been participating in that have we?
K: Well I don't know what to say. I mean, let's face it, you and I are not exactly in the best place for this right now.
L: Well please, ya know, don't let it trouble you.
K: Excuse me?
L: If I'm pregnant, which is a great big if, it doesn't really change anything.
K: Doesn't change anything?
L: Uh, ya, you know I mean between us.
K: So let me get this straight. What you're proposing is one of those modern arrangements where we share custody, alternate weekends, trade holidays?
L: Maybe we're just getting a little bit the cart before the horse here.
K: No, no we should just wait until the baby is here.
L: Let's wait and see if there really is a baby okay?
K: Well you must be pretty sure or you wouldn't have bought that test.
L: Oh you know what just, you don't worry yourself about it, I can handle it okay, you don't have to be any part of this.
K: Is that so?
L: Ya, that's so. Look, I know how you feel about me or let me correct that..I know rather how you don't feel about me.
K: Lucy...
L: No, I also know you're a very stand up guy and you'll want to do the right thing.
K: Do the right thing?
L: Right, but guess what Doc? You don't have to, I am letting you off the hook.
K: Well maybe that's not entirely up tp you.
L: I have made my decision.
K: And what makes you think you get to call all the shots?
L: I'm not gonna argue with you about this.
K: And I'm not gonna stand here while you say in one breath what a wonderful father I am and in the next breath try to cut me out of what could be our childs life. Why would you do that Lucy? Why would you try to shut me out?
L: Because I'm afraid.
K: Of what?
L: Of wanting this baby so badly and wanting...
K: What?
L: Wanting to share it all with you.
K: Lucy I wish I knew what this baby could mean for us but to be honest I don't know. But I do know that I want it to be true just as much as you do.
L: You do?
K: I haven't forgotten....I haven't forgotten.
L: We wanted so much to be parents together.
K: I still think we'd have one hell of a kid.
L: I, I don't want to listen to this anymore, because it might not be true you know.
K: But what if it is?
L: I can't, I just can't take the disappointment, I don't wanna get my hopes up like that.
K: Lucy since when have you ever been afraid of hope?
L: Since now, because this could be my very last chance to have this happen. So you know what, let's not talk, I can't talk about it anymore.
K: No. no listen we're at the hospital why don't we just go see Nancy Newman and then we can find out for sure.
L: No, no Doc, no I can't. I can't go sit in that office again and sit there waiting to find out if my dreams are gonna come true or if my dreams are just gonna be dashed like that, I can't do it.
K: Are you saying that you don't want to know?
L: No, I don't want to know right now. I can't, cause right now not knowing gives me hope. There's that little piece of hope and I gotta hold on to that. I can't let that go, not yet.
