1.INT. AMY’S HOUSE. NIGHT.

Amy is stood in the kitchen making tea.

(Ryan knocks on the door, Amy opens it).

Ryan
You alright?

Amy
Yeah, come in

(Ryan steps in the house, Amy goes back to making tea).

AMY
Are you staying over, or going home later? I need to talk to you about something

RYAN
Well I’ve got my work clothes, (flirty tone) thought I could stay the night.

AMY
Right just so we’re clear (pause) this is not a relationship. But…

RYAN
Yeah, I know. I’ve actually been seeing someone else

AMY
Oh, who is she? (Pause) Actually I think you should leave

RYAN
But Amy this is what you wanted.

AMY
Don’t you tell me what I wanted! It’s complicated

RYAN
It’s been complicated for three months

AMY
Just trust me Ryan. You don’t understand

RYAN
Well then make me understand. Tell me what you want
(Silence) That’s what I thought

AMY
Ryan please

RYAN
No I’m sick of this, go find another fool

AMY
Ryan I’m…

RYAN
Spit it out then

AMY
Pregnant, I’m fucking pregnant (pause) and it’s yours if that wasn’t obvious.
(Big pause)

RYAN
Oh Amy (pause) How long have you known?

AMY
I really don’t want to talk about it.

RYAN
Amy just tell me, don’t fuck about.

AMY
5 week’s

RYAN
I thought we used protection (Amy burst in to tears)

AMY
I dunno, it just happened.

RYAN
What are you going to do with it? (Silence) You know I’ll support you with whatever decision you make. (Further silence) you know that right? (More silence Amy sniffles) Amy please just say something.

AMY
Thank you

RYAN
So are you going to keep it?

AMY
I don’t know.

RYAN
Well it’s your decision.

AMY
Don’t put all the responsibility on me.

RYAN
It’s your fault that this has happened anyway.

AMY
How dare you. I didn’t force you.

RYAN
Whatever.

AMY
See we can’t even get our dysfunctional relationship to work, how do expect us to raise a child. It’ not like those stupid video games that you play. This is real life.

RYAN
Well I never asked for this.
