Life Happens Page #4

Synopsis: Life Happens deals with the topic of abortion in a unique, personal and ultimately uplifting way. Director Ash Greyson, who was nearly aborted just months before the Roe vs Wade decision, sets out on a journey to find others like him. In the process he uncovers the divisive issues, eventually finds some common ground, and seals it all up with compelling first person stories from mothers and children who narrowly escaped abortion. While pulling no punches, he skillfully replaces rhetoric and religion with hope and heart in what may be the most approachable film ever created on the topic.

Dude, he would

have turned tail

if he knew anyway,

and that is the truth.

Are you sure?

Yes. Totally.

Well, you guys didn't

even exchange e-mails.

Yeah, maybe.

You're never gonna

see this guy again, man.

He looked fine,

so what, whatever.

Right. You're probably right.

I am right.

Yeah. Right.

Yes.

Yeah.

Right?

LAURA:
Yes!

Guys!

Kim!

I don't know.

I do.

(ALL LAUGHING)

SERGEl:
I've got some

not so great news for you.

Melanie's lawyers

are requesting

that you keep

paying for her facials,

because it was your idea

to move to Los Angeles

and that's what

makes her skin so dry.

But, you know, I get...

Wait. Can she do that?

We all told you

she was a b*tch.

Nobody told me

she was a b*tch.

Not to your face,

but we all thought it.

So, how long is she

gonna drag this out for?

(SIGHS) Unfortunately, in

the state of... Gummi Bear?

No. I'm good.

Green. No, orange.

Unfortunately,

in the state of California,

you have got to wait six...

Now, this is all

lawyer speak, okay? Jargon.

But you have to wait

six months, I think,

from the time you...

You have to wait.

Come on, I just wanna

move on with my life.

I want the same thing, Nick.

You think I don't want that?

You think I don't want you

to sow your wild oats?

I need you out there, man!

Bringing in

some new p*ssy blood!

I mean, bringing in new...

Get new...

New p*ssy and new blood.

Separately.

You know, newness,

new chicks.

Look, my point is,

I've got to live vicariously

through someone. Right? Okay?

And look at you,

you're handsome,

it makes sense.

What are my other options?

Henri?

Come on, look at that guy.

He's a hot mess.

Yeah.

He's into some

funky sh*t, man.

You should hear

some of his stories,

they're amazing.

So, how did this happen?

My parents got divorced

and I said to myself,

"I'm not gonna let

this happen to me," and...

Listen, divorces are

never easy, you know.

I mean, sometimes they can be.

Yours is not. Definitely not.

The point is,

you need to take

care of yourself.

You know? Do something

to keep your mind

off of things.

Look out for you.

What about that girl

you met the other night?

The little cutie at

the bar at that dog thing?

The bloat?

She didn't have the bloat.

But, you know...

I didn't get

her number, but

I know who she works for.

(CELL PHONE BEEPING)

AUTOMATED VOICE:

One new message.

Yeah. Hi, darling, listen,

we have a new client.

A single doggy daddy

with a 250-pound

mastiff named Bishop.

You know what they say

about men with big dogs...

I think that's the

expression. Anyway...

Bishop?

Hi, buddy.

Sit. Sit.

Sit. Sit. Good boy.

Sorry. Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy? Hi, there.

Hey!

(SCREAMS)

You!

You!

What are you doing here?

This is my house!

Are you stalking me?

I swear this is

just a coincidence!

Really? You expect me to...

Okay. I'm... (LAUGHING)

I can't keep this up,

I'm so...

You ran out so fast

the other night,

I didn't get your number,

so I just called

and requested you.

And I thought

that it'd be funny.

And you would think

I was funny and then

we'd laugh and ha-ha...

(EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE)

It played out

so much more romantic

in my head.

Do you still want me

to walk your dog?

No. I just got

done walking him.

It's a nice place.

Did you just move in

or something?

I'm in a sort of

transition right now.

It's a long,

boring story, trust me.

That must be your

roommate's baby?

I take him to work sometimes

when she's busy.

He's a handsome little guy.

(CHUCKLES)

Hi, buddy.

Uh-huh.

(LAUGHING)

Anywho, now that

I got you here.

Would you like to go

to dinner on Friday?

I said yes.

DEENA:
Nice.

Yeah. And I kinda asked him

to bring a friend for you.

Please go with me.

I can't do this alone.

Sure, I'll be a part of

the get Kim laid brigade.

The friend better be

hot and lvy League.

Did you scratch again?

I scratched again.

Jesus, Kim.

Dude, I had a window.

Maybe I should

have come clean.

Why? Out of some sense

of moral obligation?

No, I mean, he obviously

really likes me enough

to track me down.

It was kind of romantic,

and now I'm being

a sleaze ball.

Come on. Guys have been

doing this crap for years.

Hit it and quit it.

It's not like you're

gonna marry him.

Oh! Gosh!

Where the heck

did I put my keys?

Oh!

Yes!

What?

Oh, it's for

Valet of the Dolls.

You look like

a prostitute.

You look

like Jennifer Aniston

in Friends with Money.

KIM:
Have you seen

The Night Porter?

DEENA:
Are you dating

Marilyn Manson?

Are you going

trick or treating?

Happy Halloween.

Did you kill him with

a candlestick holder?

Hey, Laura,

what's "make love"?

Something your girlfriend

does while you bang her.

Are you really a virgin?

You guys are random.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

All right. Watch this.

WOMAN 1:
"Mommy and Me"

is so important to us

"for developing your

infant's cognitive skills.

WOMAN 2:
Yeah.

And it's a great way

of training at any time.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry, guys. I'm sorry.

Why is that lady late?

Oh, sorry,

sorry, guys.

Welcome.

Hi.

I just wanna invite you

to get comfortable and relax.

Okay. Sorry, guys.

(GRUNTS)

Okay, let's pick up

where we left off.

Hester.

Hi, I'm Hester.

MOM:
Hi, Hester.

And I've been doing yoga

for a really long time,

and I just thought

it'd be great to bring

some om to the womb.

As most of you know,

I'm Patti,

and we love this class,

because it falls

perfectly between

Lil' Gym and

Survival Swim class.

And you?

I'm sorry.

You could just share

with us both of your names

and what brings

you here today.

I'm Kim.

Hi, Kim.

HESTER:
Hi, Kim.

Hi. And this

is my baby, Max.

And I'm here

because I have a date,

and I wanna get

into slamming shape,

and what other

exercise classes

can you bring a kid to?

Right?

Okay.

(ALL CHANTING)

(CRYING)

Sorry.

(SHUSHING)

You are making quite

a name for yourself

with our female readers.

That last column on

why men who are married

to high-powered women

with multiple degrees

often cheat

with exotic dancers

to mollify their

own power insecurities

caught the eye of

one of my contacts

at Seal Press.

The same publishing company

who did Gender Outlaws?

That's the one.

They're interested in

hearing your book pitch.

Come on!

Holy flying

mother of God!

Oh!

Hey! I just wanted to

say you have nothing

to worry about.

You have a lovely figure.

Oh, thanks.

Seriously.

Don't you just

love these classes?

I think it's so

important to have

the support of other moms.

And JJJ just loves it.

JJJ?

Jessica Jennifer Justice.

My husband Brock and I

were always laughing,

with a name like that,

she's gonna be a lawyer!

And what about

this little guy?

What are you gonna be?

Well, I was probably

just gonna let him decide.

Do you know how many

kids in my high school

committed suicide

'cause they didn't know

what they wanted to do?

Direction is really

the greatest gift

we can give them.
