Первая сцена
Well, what have you done, Junebug? Did you hit someone with the Previa? No. Dude, I think it’s best to just tell him. I’m pregnant. Oh, God. Yeah, but I’m gonna give it up for adoption, and I already found the perfect couple. They’re gonna pay for the medical expenses and everything, and in, what, 30-odd weeks, we can just pretend that this never happened. You’re pregnant? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. And if it is any consolation, I have heartburn that is radiating in my kneecaps. And I haven’t taken a dump since Wednesday morning. I didn’t even know you were sexually active. Who is the kid? The baby? I don’t really know much about it other than, I mean, it has fingernails, allegedly. Nails, really? Yeah. No, I don’t, I mean, who was the father, Juno?
Um, it’s Polly Bleeker. Polly Bleeker? What? I didn’t think you had it in him. I know, right? All right, this is no laughing matter. No, it’s not. And you know, Polly is actually great in a… Okay. In chair. You’re thinking about adoption? Yeah, yeah, and there’s this couple, they haven’t had… You know, they’ve been trying to have a kid for, like, five years. We found them in the penny saver next to the exotic birds. And they have a legitimate lawyer, and I was gonna go meet with them next weekend. Junebug, that is a tough, tough thing to do. It’s probably tougher than you can understand right now. No, I… I know. And it’s just that I’m not ready to be a mom. Goddamn Skippy, you’re not. Honey, had you considered, you know, the alternative?
No. Well, you’re a little Viking. Oh, I’m coming with you to meet this adoption couple.
- I’m pregnant – я беременна
- I’m gonna give it up for adoption – я отдам его на усыновление
- medical expenses – медицинские расходы
- we can pretend that this never happened – мы можем сделать вид, что этого никогда не было
- And if it is any consolation… – и если это может хоть как-то утешить…
- heartburn – изжога
- (idiom) I didn’t think he had it in him – я не думал, что он на это способен
- Have you considered the alternative? – рассматривала ли ты альтернативный вариант?
Вторая сцена
Vanessa, you must be Juno, Mr. McGuff. Hi. Vanessa. It’s Vanessa, right? Thanks for having me and my irresponsible child over to your house. Oh, no, thank you. Hi, Mark Loring. I’m the husband. How you doing? Mac McGuff. Nice to meet you. Hi. This is Gerta Rouse, our attorney. Gerta Rouse. Hi. Nice to meet you. And this, of course, is Juno. Like the city in Alaska? No. No? Should we sit down and get to know each other? You see, we would compensate you for all your medical expenses. Are you looking for any other type of compensation? Excuse me? What? No. No, I don’t want to, you know, sell the thing. I just… I want… I just want the baby to be with people who are going to love it and be good parents, you know? I mean, I’m in high school. Dude, I’m just… I’m ill-equipped. You’re doing a beautiful and a selfless thing for us. Vanessa’s wanted a baby ever since we got married. I wouldn’t be a mommy so badly. You don’t say. Have you ever felt like you were just…
Born to do something. Yes. Heating and air conditioning. There you go. I was born to be a mother. Some of us are. How about you, Mark? Are you looking forward to being a dad? Mm. Betcha. Yeah. Every guy wants to be a father. He wants to coach the soccer team and help out with the science fair. The volcano goes off. Yeah. All that. So just look these over. If you have any questions, call me at my office.
- Thanks for having us over – спасибо, что пригласили нас
- attorney – адвокат / юрист
- I’m ill-equipped – я не готова / у меня недостаточно средств и умений
- You’re doing a selfless thing for us – ты делаешь для нас бескорыстное дело
- Are you looking forward to being a dad? – ждешь ли ты с нетерпением возможности стать отцом?
- We would really appreciate it if you… – мы будем очень признательны, если вы…
- keep us updated – держи нас в курсе
- (idiom)…and anything of that nature – …и все в этом роде
