Juno and Bleeker head separately over to an available labstation and unpack their bags in silence.
JUNO Well! Nothing like experimenting.
BLEEKER I did the prep questions for thislab last night. You can copy myanswers if you need to.
He slides a piece of graph paper in front of Juno withoutlooking at her.
JUNO Oh, I couldn’t copy your work.
BLEEKER But you copy my work every week.
JUNO Oh yeah. I’m kind of a deadbeat labpartner, huh?
BLEEKER I don’t mind. You definitely bringsomething to the table.
JUNO Charisma?
BLEEKER Or something.
The other two LAB PARTNERS, a humorless couple, join them atthe station.
JUNO So, who’s ready for somephotomagnificence?
GIRL LAB PARTNER I have a menstrual migraine, and Ican’t look at bright lights today.
GUY LAB PARTNER Amanda, I told you to go to theinfirmary and lie down. You neverlisten.
GIRL LAB PARTNER No Josh, I don’t take orders. Not from you and not from any man.
GUY LAB PARTNER You know, you’ve been acting likethis ever since I went up to see mybrother at Mankato. I told you,nothing happened!
GIRL LAB PARTNER Something happened. Because youreyes? Are very cold? They’re verycold, Josh. They’re cold, lying eyes.
GUY LAB PARTNER What? My eyes are not lying!
GIRL LAB PARTNER Yes they are, Josh. Since Mankato,they have been lying eyes.
Juno and Bleeker observe the argument like tennis spectators,fascinated by the dynamics of a real couple.
BLEEKER Okay...I’m going to set up theapparatus. Juno, want to get a C-clamp out of that drawer?
GIRL LAB PARTNER I’m going to the infirmary.
GUY LAB PARTNER Good. Call me when you’re OFF the rag.
GIRL LAB PARTNER
Fine. Call me when you learn how to
love just one person and not cheat
at your brother’s college just
because you had four Smirnoff Ices
and a bottle of Snow Peak Peach
flavored Boone’s!
GUY LAB PARTNER
Good, I’ll be sure to do that,
Amanda. I’ll make a note of it.
He furiously scrawls a fake memo in his notebook.
JUNO
Snow Peak Peach is the best flavor
of Boone’s. Right, Bleek?
Bleeker reddens and continues constructing the apparatus.
GIRL LAB PARTNER stalks off dramatically.
Bleeker shakes his head and rifles through his textbook.

32 INT. MACGUFF HOUSE - JUNO’S BEDROOM - AFTERNOON 32
Juno examines a large ad in the newspaper that depicts adistraught TEEN GIRL clutching her head in a moment of stagedconflict. The ad reads: “Pregnant? Find the clinic that giveswomen choice. Women’s Choice Health Center.”
Juno picks up her hamburger phone and dials. For a moment,she attempts to copy the melodramatic pose from the ad,checking herself out in the mirror.
JUNO (talking along with voice prompt)
“Para instruciones en Espanol,oprima numero dos.”
She presses a few buttons in succession.
JUNO
Yes, hello, I need to procure a hasty
abortion?...What was that? I’m sorry,
I’m on my hamburger phone and it’s
kind of awkward to talk on. It’s
really more of a novelty than a
functional appliance.
She SMACKS the phone a couple of times.
JUNO Better? Okay, good. Yeah, as I said,I need an abortion, two ...sixteen...Um, it was approximatelytwo months and four days ago that Ihad the sex. That’s a guestimate.Okay, next Saturday? Great.
She hangs up the phone.
JUNO V.O. I hate it when adults use the term “sexually active.”
33 INT. HEALTH CLASS - DAY (FLASHBACK) 33
A HEALTH TEACHER in slo-mo puts a condom on a banana.
JUNO V.O. (CONT’D)What does that even mean? Can I deactivate someday, or is this apermanent state of being? I guessBleeker went live that night we didit. I guess he hadn’t done it before,and that’s why he got that look onhis face.
34 INT. BLEEKER’S HOUSE - MOLD-O’-RIFIC BASEMENT - NIGHT 34 (FLASHBACK)
We see Paulie’s face at the moment of his deflowering: he’scomically wide-eyed with shock.
35 INT. MACGUFF HOUSE - DINING ROOM - NIGHT 35
Juno, her father MAC, her stepmother BREN, and LIBERTY BELLsit at a very typical kitchen table, eating dinner. MAC shovels food while chatting about his day.
MAC You should have seen this octopusfurnace. I had to get out my Hazmatsuit just to get up in there...
JUNO V.O. My dad used to be in the Army, butnow he’s just your average HVACspecialist. He and my mom gotdivorced when I was five.

MAC So Juno, how did your maneuver golast night?
JUNO Which maneuver, sir? The one in which I moved an entire living room setfrom one lawn to another, or the one in which I cleared a sixty-four ounceblue slushie in ten minutes?

Juno and Bleeker head separately over to an available labstation and unpack their bags in silence.
