LEAH Well, are you going to go toHavenbrooke or Women Now for the abortion? You need a note from yourparents for Havenbrooke.

LEAH Want me to call for you? I calledfor Becky last year.
|
JUNO Eh, I’ll call them myself. But I doneed your help with something very urgent.
|
18 EXT. CENTENNIAL LANE - NIGHT 18
|
Leah and Juno struggle to drag a recliner across a well-manicured suburban lawn. They make a formidable team.
|
LEAH Heavy lifting can only help you atthis point.
|
JUNO That is sick, man.
|
Leah busts a gut laughing. It’s a stunningly accurateportrayal of Bleeker’s parents.
|
LEAH So, you were bored? Is that howthis blessed miracle came to be?
|
JUNO Nah, it was a premeditated act. Thesex, I mean, not getting pregnant.
|
LEAH When did you decide you were goingto do Bleeker?
|
JUNO Like, a year ago, in Spanish class.
|
19 INT. DANCING ELK SCHOOL - SPANISH CLASS - DAY - (FLASHBACK)19
|
Bleeker and Juno are sitting at their desks, listening to ateacher lecturing about spanish. Bleeker discreetly pushes aPOSTCARD to Juno with his foot. She picks it up off thefloor, reads it, then looks at Bleeker, who is watching theteacher obediently.
|
20 EXT. CENTENNIAL LANE - NIGHT 20
|
LEAH Aha! You love him.
|
JUNO It’s extremely complicated, and I’drather not talk about it in myfragile state.
|
She hefts a coffee table with her bare hands. She’s wearingher father’s LIFTING BELT.
|
LEAH So, what was it like humpingBleeker’s bony bod?
|
JUNO It was magnificent, man!

|
26 EXT. BLEEKER HOUSE - MORNING 26
|
PAUL BLEEKER steps onto the front porch of his house forearly morning track practice. He wears a cross countryuniform that reads “DANCING ELK CONDORS.” He is eating somekind of microwaved snack gimmick.
|
Bleeker is startled to discover that Juno is outside waitingfor him. She has somehow arranged the living room set on thefront lawn, and is seated in the armchair, chewing a pipeofficiously.
|
JUNO Hey Bleek.
|
BLEEKER Hey, cool tiger. Looks proud.
|
JUNO Yeah, I swiped it from Ms. Rancick.
|
BLEEKER Cool.
|
JUNO Your shorts are looking especiallygold today.
|
BLEEKER My mom uses color-safe bleach.
|
JUNO Go Carole. (a beat)So, guess what?
|
BLEEKER (shrugs)I don’t know...
|
JUNO I’m pregnant.
|
Stunned silence. Juno pops up the footrest of the reclinerand leans back comfortably.
|
BLEEKER I guess so.(fidgeting)What are you going to do?
|
The Dancing Elk Prep cross country team runs past Bleeker’shouse in a thundering herd, wearing a motley assortment ofwarm-ups. Their momentum stirs the crackling fall leaves.They wave and holler at Bleeker and Juno.
|
JUNO V.O. When I see them all running likethat, with their things bouncingaround in their shorts, I alwayspicture them naked, even if I don’twant to. I have intrusive thoughtsall the time.
|
27 OMITTED 27
|
28 EXT. BLEEKER HOUSE - CONTINUED 28
|
BLEEKER I’m supposed to be running.
|
JUNO I know.
|
There’s an awkward silence.
|
BLEEKER So, what do you think we shoulddo?
|
JUNO I thought I might, you know, nip itin the bud before it gets worse.Because I heard in health class that pregnancy often results in an infant.
|
BLEEKER Yeah, typically. That’s whathappens when our moms and teachers get pregnant.
|
JUNO So that’s cool with you, then?
|
BLEEKER Yeah, wizard, I guess. I mean dowhat you think is right.
|
JUNO I’m real sorry I had sex with you.I know it wasn’t your idea.
|
BLEEKER Whose idea was it?
|
JUNO I’ll see you at school, O.K.?
|
She mounts her bicycle and waves before riding off.
|
BLEEKER (to nobody in particular)Whose idea was it?
|
29 EXT. DANCING ELK SCHOOL - DAY 29
|
Juno pushes her crappy bike into the bike rack and winds alock around it. In the background, a group of 3 NERDS play alive-action RPG.
|
NERD You did not! You don’t have the armor. That Orc Armor you boughtfrom the wizard doesn’t have the power level to parry my hit!
|
29A INT. DANCING ELK SCHOOL - CORRIDOR - DAY 29A
|
Juno tries to push through the masses, but the throng ofstudents is thick and unwielding.
|
30 INT. DANCING ELK SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY 30
|
Juno rummages through her locker, which is plastered withphotos of Leah and Bleeker, plus a giant poster of Iggy Popin his heyday.
|
She grabs a dilapidated physics textbook. A few pages slipout. STEVE RENDAZO (the same asshole who harassed her as shewalked to the drugstore) passes by in the hallway.
|
STEVE RENDAZO Hey, your book fell apart!
|
JUNO Yeah.
|
STEVE RENDAZO
|
It must have looked at your face.
|
PWAH!
|
He high-fives his klatch of buddies and moves along.
|
JUNO V.O.
|
The funny thing is that Steve Rendazo
|
secretly wants me. Jocks like him
|
always want freaky girls. Girls with
|
horn-rimmed glasses and vegan
|
footwear and Goth makeup. Girls who
|
play the cello and wear Converse All-
|
Stars and want to be children’s
|
librarians when they grow up. Oh
|
yeah, jocks eat that shit up.
|
We see Steve looking back at Juno for a brief second withmixed feelings.
|
JUNO V.O.
|
They just won’t admit it, because
|
they’re supposed to be into perfect
|
cheerleaders like Leah. Who,
|
incidentally, is into teachers.
|
We see Leah at the far end of the hallway, talking animatedlywith a paunchy middle-aged teacher, KEITH.
|
LEAH (from a distance)Me too! I love Woody Allen!
|
31 INT. DANCING ELK SCHOOL - SCIENCE LAB - DAY 31
|
STUDENTS bustle in, as the teacher, MR. TINKER tries to maintain order. Juno heads toward her desk and sets down her bag.
|
MR. TINKER People! We’re doing ourphotomagnetism lab today, so findyour partner and break out intofours.
|
Juno looks up and meets eyes with her longtime lab partner:Bleeker. Sound the gong of awkwardness!
