"In a town not unlike a town outside your city. In a
public restroom outside a place you stop for gas.
Two teenagers who once sold you Publix lemonade
disguised as home-made, have set up a business.
For a nominal fee, they'll get rid of your problem—
because if you don't want your parents to find out,
if you don't want your name called out upon the
lips of the disenfranchised pro-lifers as you slink
into the public clinic, they're all you've got left.
Plus they can cut you a deal. Plan B is readily
available and the 'Pull Out' method is proving a
remarkable 92% rate of accuracy, so our teenage

Women’s Public Bathroom
Kim looks in the mirror.
Eventually KT’s legs appear in a stall behind her.

KIM:
The bathroom is a place you can guarantee no one will be looking.
The bathroom is a only place anything could be happening.
Until only one thing is.
Sometimes you have to show people their worst nightmare because otherwise they’ll just
keep carrying on trying to make it real for themselves.
You do it to them—so they won’t do it to themselves.
KT
Kim
Flushing.
People, they want to see what’s behind the stall doors like they want to see into anything
you won’t let them.
So sometimes, you let them.
If people want to see what’s behind it.
The flushing stops.
They will.
KT comes out of the stall.
Kim taps on one of the stalls.
Kim and KT take out their cell phones and exit.
