Just going to take a big, stinky sh*t
while we wait.
Perfect. Cool timing.
Don't stare at that stick.
Okay. I'll just...
You're just peeing, right?
Great.
Do you want to hear the story about
when I went to get my first pregnancy test?
It was, like, 2.5 miles between where
we lived and where the pharmacy was.
I couldn't ask my mom to drive me,
so I had to...
If you've just tuned in, you're listening
to the Donna's Brain Show,
and I'm the voice of the brain.
Today, I'm sitting down
with the idiot in question
who, after being dumped and losing herjob,
recently had...
Excuse me... may have had
unprotected sex with a stranger.
I can't get your blouse off.
We used a condom.
Okay, well, that's not what I heard.
Let's do this!
We should have been using our hands.
No. No way.
Yes!
I don't know any wrestles.
Did you find it?
It's a five second rule. Five second rule.
Come on. I think that it was more like...
Here you are, sir. One condom.
Might it be correct
to say that you cannot recall?
Well, you're dizzy because you played
Russian roulette with your vagina.
Did you know that
Hulk Hogan's name is Terry?
It's time.
It's time.
Oh, God, your face.
Oh, my God, barf rush.
Do I have morning sickness?
No, that's probably just psychosomatic.
Okay, there's two tests in the box.
Let's take another one.
- I'm sorry. I'm going to throw up.
- Okay.
- Did somebody have a bad dream?
- Oh, God, Dad!
That thing is freakin' so frightening.
I guess I am.
Come on, give us a...
Come on, give us a kiss.
I love you. I love you.
Kiss yourself.
It's, like, 100 degrees in here.
Puppets work best in heat.
Hi, Don. Thanks for waiting.
It's Donna.
I'm so sorry. Must have missed the "Na."
Where are my glasses?
Here.
Thank you, Donna.
Your test came back positive,
and you are indeed pregnant.
F***!
Sorry for cursing.
That's all right. I've heard it all.
So, let's talk about your options.
I would like an abortion, please.
That sounds very insensitive. I'm not sure.
Sounds like I was ordering
at a drive-through,
but I would like an abortion, please.
It's important that
you've put a lot of thought into this,
and that this decision is entirely yours.
I'd also like to provide you with
all the information you need about abortion
as well as other options.
Yeah.
and this is what I need to do.
Okay.
of your last period,
you're about three weeks along,
which is pretty early.
In fact, it's too early
to get the procedure done with us.
Okay.
It means you need to wait.
I'd like to set the appointment
for two weeks from today.
That'll put it on the 14th.
- February 14th?
- Yeah.
Oh, my!
I guess we could do it the day after.
That's my mom's birthday.
Can't even get an abortion right.
I'm guessing you wouldn't want to
wait too much longer.
No, let's have it...
Let's do it on Valentine's Day.
Give this card to the receptionist
on your way out, and she'll schedule you.
Okay.
How much does this cost?
An in-clinic procedure costs about $500.
Really?
Sorry.
That's, like, my whole rent almost.
But the cost also covers an HIV test
as well as STD testing.
Do you have insurance?
Well, if not, we can provide
financial assistance if you qualify.
- Do you have Medicaid?
- No.
Any friends or family that can help?
Okay, I'm out of tape now.
Hey, little lady, is there any more tape?
Yeah.
Yes, there is tape in the bathroom
on the top shelf.
I did the first scream for screaming,
and then the second scream I had
from scaring myself from the first scream.
Yeah, I saw that.
- I'm gonna come in now, okay?
- Yeah.
What are you doing here?
You said you worked here, so...
Sure.
The Savage Detectives.
This book is amazing.
Well, it can be yours for 99 cents.
Hey, I just passed a Mexican food truck
on the way over here.
Do you wanna go get a bite?
When we hung out before, you said...
You said that you could mouth f***
the sh*t out of a burrito.
God damn it.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Also, do you remember
urinating in the street?
Among other things.
What?
- That was the main move.
- All right.
If you have time, take a little break?
Well, I can't leave the store unmanned,
UN-womaned.
Of course, sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Well...
I'd love to take you out sometime
on a proper date.
Well, here's the thing,
is that the store is closing down,
and it's a hard time,
and it's gonna take forever,
and I have to put all the books in the boxes.
None of them are in the boxes.
I'm the only thing in a box,
and I'm not a book.
- Not yet.
- Yeah. Okay.
Totally.
Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.
I have a copy of this already.
Well, good luck with the closing.
Thanks. You, too.
I can't believe he walked into the store.
That's a sign.
And that would be a sign saying...
Like, that I'm a present in a box,
and that he and I should go
and start our beautiful life together.
- You know, I'm not a straight guy...
- What?
...but my guess is that most of them
would hate that gift.
What? You're saying
that a guy doesn't want
a drunk, pregnant girl in a box?
If you're a serial killer.
Maybe you wanna tell him.
No. Why? Why?
You don't owe him anything.
You don't even know this guy.
Maybe he just deserves to know
that, like, this happened.
That I'm not psycho,
and I'm going to get an abortion.
You know, if I got someone pregnant,
If you got someone pregnant,
I would also want to know.
Probably every newspaper
would want to know,
'cause all of a sudden,
some dude's mouth would be pregnant.
My God, you guys,
stop it with the crazy jokes.
Why do you care
what he needs to know or not?
You are the one who has
to get this procedure, pay for it,
wear the f***ing pad
with the big wings, okay?
You think if he was pregnant,
he would be worrying about you right now?
No, he'd be trying to get
that f***ing thing out of his body.
God damn it! You guys,
we already live in a patriarchal society
where a bunch of weird old white men
in robes get to legislate our c*nts.
You just need to be worrying about yourself.
And why are you looking at me like that,
you little b*tches?
Everything you're saying is valid,
but you are scaring my dick off.
Anyway, if your gut is to tell him,
I say do it, because he seems sweet.
I'm exhausted now.
- Does it hurt?
- Does what hurt?
You know, only you would know
Okay. Does having an abortion hurt?
No, except for some cramps afterwards,
but they feel just like period cramps.
Just take me through it snip-by-snip.
Okay, first of all, there is no snips,
and the whole thing
literally takes, like, five minutes.
That's amazing.
You don't even have to clear your schedge.
