The first 190 lines.
Are you okay?
They got the driver.
They got everybody who was working tonight.
Oh, my kids, my kids.
I know, I'm sorry.
- They kept asking about the doctors.
I didn't tell them anything.
Our first night.
("The Most Beautiful Garden" by Oh, Elis)
¶ There is a song ¶
¶ For every voice ¶
¶ Comforting words ¶
¶ To sing and rejoice ¶
¶ Give me your hand ¶
¶ Together we'll reap ¶
¶ The most beautiful garden ¶
¶ You've ever seen ¶
¶ There is a sinner ¶
¶ Inside us all ¶
¶ There is a giver ¶
¶ Who's taken the fall ¶
¶ There is a plight ¶
¶ That we cannot see ¶
¶ Reveal like a flower ¶
¶ And with the seas ¶
¶ Oh, oh, oh ¶
¶ Oh, oh, oh ¶
¶ Oh, oh, oh ¶
¶ Oh ¶
¶ Oh, oh, oh, oh ¶
¶ Oh, oh, oh ¶
¶ Oh ¶
Please, please, please.
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hello no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hello no!
Don't go!
- You can't have a comfortable life
if you wanna change things.
It can't happen.
You have to be willing to get arrested.
We have to be willing to sit in the jail cells
no matter the cost.
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Hey!
You taking my picture?
What're you working for, huh?
The FBI?
- Oppression brick-by-brick.
Rose.
Yes, Gary?
- Would you mind getting us some coffee?
Sure.
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no!
Don't go!
Hell no.
How's the protest?
- Did Gary make you get coffee again?
Yeah.
It's always the woman.
You notice that?
We go and protest so they don't have to go to Vietnam.
What do they do for us?
No, thanks.
I'm gonna go study.
See you later.
What happened?
Can everyone just go?
This is embarrassing.
- I was lying in my bed and I saw her go in my drawer
and take a razor.
I needed a razor.
- At five in the morning?
Are you okay, Pat?
- She's upset because she has to drop out.
Cindy.
Why does she have to drop out?
- My parents are really religious.
I can't go home like this.
So don't go home.
Where am I gonna go, Janice?
They'll kick me out of the dorms.
So get an abortion.
- The mob charges like three thousand dollars.
My cousin had one and she almost died.
- I heard about this one girl who got an abortion
and the guy doing it raped her.
Marie!
Can everyone just go?
Please.
It's fine, I got it.
I'll keep an eye on her.
- How do you know this will work?
- There's this girl in this book who gets pregnant
and she's supposed to take rat poison to kill the baby
but she takes too much and dies.
How do you know you won't die?
- Because in the book she's only supposed
to take a quarter cup but she takes a whole cup.
I'm just taking a quarter cup.
This is scary, Helen.
- You can watch me and make sure nothing bad happens, okay?
Otherwise, I'll do this on my own.
Okay.
Hey, Patty?
Hey.
Are you going somewhere?
I talked to my mom, so...
I'm going home.
She said they'd take in the baby
but they aren't paying for college anymore.
Oh no, Patty.
It's okay.
I mean,
it's life,
right?
- Are you sure you wanna go home?
You could stay.
- College was supposed to be my way out of there.
But there is just no way out.
- You aren't gonna try anything when you get home,
are you?
What?
What did you say?
Hello, Nancy?
Hi, it's Rose from Biology.
Uuuh...
I know you were in nursing.
Do you know anyone who does abortions?
Real doctors, no mob guys.
Okay.
Thank you.
Is that okay?
Can you wait a day or two before you go home
just to see if we can find someone?
Hello?
Yes, yes, this is.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, we can pay that.
Do you think we could get together
a thousand dollars for Patty?
By when?
Tomorrow.
Let's see who's awake.
Oh.
Which one of you is the one that called?
Oh,
me.
- I told you to come alone into the back.
No you didn't.
- If there's more than three people
in a room discussing abortion,
it's conspiracy to commit murder
which is a far more serious charge.
Do you understand?
We can wait outside.
It's too late now.
Come on in.
Come on in, come on in.
- Do you think he's a real doctor?
This is a doctor's office.
- Yeah but it could be someone else's and he might sneak in.
No, stop it.
No.
In a couple of days,
you'll notice a heavier flow than usual.
That's the miscarriage.
Any fever, any infection, call me.
Now, you ladies need to start keeping your legs together.
This wild behavior just leads to trouble.
- Doctor, if we had any other friends that needed this,
can we give you a call?
- I don't wanna see any of you ever again.
Okay.
Thank you, doctor.
