INT. FAMILY PLANNING CLINIC. DAY.<br />
MARIA, wearing a medical gown, lies on an examining table,<br />
feet in stirrups. A NURSE, forties, wheels an instrument<br />
tray towards her. Maria suddenly disengages her feet from<br />
the stirrups and swings her legs off the table.<br />
NURSE<br />
What are you doing?<br />
MARIA<br />
(shaking her head)<br />
I can't do this.<br />
NURSE<br />
(misinterpreting the<br />
problem)<br />
I told you, the government pays.<br />
It's all taken care of.<br />
MARIA<br />
No, you don't understand. I can't.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nurse places a comforting hand on Maria's shoulder.<br />
NURSE<br />
(reassuring)<br />
<strong>The</strong> doctor will give you something.<br />
MARIA<br />
(removing the hand,<br />
adamant)<br />
I'm not doing it.<br />
NURSE<br />
(trying to make her<br />
see reason)<br />
Honey, you've made one mistake --<br />
<strong>The</strong> remark stings Maria.<br />
NURSE<br />
(softening her tone)<br />
-- I've read your profile. I<br />
don't know about the father but<br />
you carry enough hereditary<br />
factors on your own.<br />
(pause)<br />
You can have other children.
