The Unborn (1991) Movie Script
Janet.
What are you doing up?
I didn't wanna wake you, honey.
I was just feeling hungry.
Careful.
He's kicking.
He's been so active tonight.
Maybe he wants to come out and play.
What is it?
Is it coming?
I don't know.
I feel really funny.
God.
Something's wrong.
I'll call the hospital.
Oh, God!
Help me!
Yes, yes, my wife is
having contractions.
Robinson, Janet.
No, that's r-o-b-i...
Janet?
Mister and misses Marshall,
we have an appointment.
Okay, you need to fill this out
and the doctor will be
with you in a few minutes.
Thanks.
Thank you.
How many years have we been trying?
Four, four and a half?
It's more like five.
It's five years.
Excuse me, this is your
first visit, isn't it?
We've been on the waiting
list since last August.
Well, meyerling really is the best.
I'd prefer a female obgyn
but his success rate wit infertility
is close to a hundred percent.
I'm sure everything
will work out for your.
Have you?
Are you one of his patients?
No,
actually, I'm waiting for a friend.
In fact, she and I are starting
our own birthing class.
Life works.
Is sorta like lamaze?
Oh, it's beyond lamaze.
Purely self actuated, untainted
by the male perspective.
No offense.
Oh, none taken.
Anyway, I hope you'll give
me a call when the times comes.
Connie?
How did it go?
Everything's great.
He even said I was radiant.
Good luck.
He said the rashes
are completely normal.
He gave me some cream.
Cute couple.
The doctor will see you now.
Hi.
You must be the marshalls.
I'm Dr. meyerling.
Come on back.
It's Virginia and Brad, isn't it?
Mhmm.
Come on.
So glad you've decided
to see us, doctor.
We've been through everything
from thermometers to hormone treatments.
We were almost ready to try voodoo.
I apologize for the waiting list.
I hate having to do that.
So,
who recommended me to you?
Jeff Dewitt.
He's a partner at my law firm.
Well, it's not mine.
I'm just an associate.
Yes, the dewitts, a
highly motivated couple.
Their little girl must
be two years old by now.
That's right.
They're so thrilled with her
and yet she's so bright.
So, let's get you going, shall we?
The first step, Mr.
Marshall, is to take a sample
from you for testing.
Of course.
Oh, you mean now?
I hope you're in the mood.
Mr. Marshall, if you could come with me.
Wish me luck.
You know, I don't usually
take cases like yours.
That bad, huh?
No, women who are married to lawyers.
I see that you're a writer.
Uh huh.
Anything that I might have read?
I doubt it.
I write children's books.
Do children still read?
Well, there are a dozen or
so left that don't have mtv.
Oh, here.
And just let me know
when you're done, okay?
Malformed fallopian tubes,
scared uterine tissue.
Two miscarriages?
I've been told that the
only way I can have children
is to adopt.
Nonsense, your case
is trickier than some
but I don't anticipate any difficulty.
I'm very surprised to
hear that, Dr. meyerling.
I'm sorry if I sound dubious
but I have been told that it was hopeless.
Strike that word from your vocabulary.
Technology of in vitro pregnancy
has progressed so rabidly
that today almost anything is possible.
You don't know how
much I wanna believe you.
Then believe.
You deserve to have a child and you will.
It's as simple as that.
Isabel's the perfect nanny.
So good with Alisha.
She's Spanish, you know?
From Spain, not Mexico.
She has a niece who wants
to come to this country.
So if you're interested
in an au pair girl,
we can arrange one around the ins.
Well, how did it go with Richard?
Dr. meyerling?
Oh, fine.
I'm going in for tests next week.
He's a doll, isn't he?
You know, after Bobby,
well we love him dearly
but we were both a little nervous
about having another child
and then Richard helped
bring Alisha into the world.
When we took her to Disney world,
vou know the hall of presidents?
She actually picked out eisenhower.
What?
She's two.
She's a miracle.
What counts is getting your
children off to the right start.
The way the world is going,
there won't be any room for mediocrity.
Jeff, Cindy?
Oh, no, no, it's a fine wine though.
For a year with so much rain.
How's the book going, Virginia?
Still with the same publisher?
You can do better.
They've always been good to me.
Never put you on the map.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is the smoke bothering you?
No, no.
Of course, you're going to have
to give that up when you're.
Of course.
And have you thought about
what you're going to do about the cat?
What do you mean?
Well it's bad to have a cat around
pregnant women and babies.
Their stools carry disease.
Fine.
Brad can deal with the litter box.
I have got a great idea.
Chuck Martinez, producer of am live,
he's a client of mine.
He owes me one.
She'd make a perfect guest.
Could lead to bigger and better things.
Wait a minute, a talk show?
Everybody needs publicity, Virginia.
Stop hiding your light under a bushel.
Virginia looks good.
Yes.
She seems well.
No problems these days?
Oh.
Is that apple?
Did you bake it yourself?
No.
Of course.
Who has the time?
Thank you so much for coming.
We'll have to do it again soon.
Good night.
Good night.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Is that you Brad?
I've forgotten the sound of your voice.
Look,
you have to see them, what,
once every six months?
I have to work with that guy every day.
They mean well,
in their own, obnoxious way.
You know, Jeff really will
get you on that TV show.
Oh, I know.
And it probably really
will help my career.
That only makes it worse.
How so?
I wish they'd stop doing things for us
and just let me hate them.
And if I heard one more word
about their precious Alisha
tonight, I would've spit up.
Give them a break.
I mean, Jesus, their kid,
Bobby, is mentally retarded.
Just imagine what that's like.
Now they got this little girl
whose some kind of genius.
Of course they're gonna
talk about her all the time.
Is that gonna happen to us?
Are we gonna be one of
those horrible couples
that keeps flashing photos of
their kids to total strangers?
Endless stories of baby's first poop.
Bronzing diapers.
Aw.
Now isn't he the most adorable snookems
in the whole wide world?
He's got your whiskers.
Do you realize that's
the first time in months
we've made love without
consulting a chart?
I know.
What's he gonna be like?
Who, the baby?
He's gonna be perfect.
What if he's not?
Huh?
What if there's something wrong?
I mean, we could have a baby like Bobby
or one born with half a heart.
What then?
What do you mean?
We couldn't give him back.
We'd love him.
Mhmm.
What if he turns out like me?
These things can be inherited.
Virginia,
when are you gonna stop
worrying about your family?
My mother is held together
with scotch tape and valium
and me with without my pills...
You get depressed once and awhile.
Big deal.
This doesn't make you
some genetic deficient.
I don't know.
Now that this really seems
like it might happen,
I'm starting...
Cold feet, huh?
I hate that!
I've never been under the knife before.
There's nothing to it.
You can do it in your sleep.
While you're getting your beauty rest,
we shall enter the ovary,
select the ripe egg from the follicle,
fertilize it and slip
it back into the uterus,
where it belongs.
After that, of course, you
have to do all the work.
Well, I guess I'm ready.
Please count
backwards from a hundred.
O08.
06,
05,
I'm really very optimistic.
Yes.
But I think it best that we
keep this between ourselves.
No, please don't.
Stop.
Nol
Virginia.
Honey.
What happened?
The doctor thinks it worked.
We're gonna have a baby.
I'm gonna be a mother.
Uh huh.
Very good.
Remember, everyone,
this is the most beautiful
experience a woman could have.
Now let's get back to the breathing.
In.
Yes, deeper.
Now let it all out.
No, no, I didn't believe you.
This has to be a joyous, totally scream.
Let's try it again.
Squatting.
In.
Good, in.
I'm not very good at screaming.
Neither am I but
believe me, you'll scream.
Imagine passing a bowling
ball through your nostril.
That's exactly the sort of male imaging
we're trying to avoid here.
Let's try
it again, on all fours.
Slowly.
Take it all in.
You know, I mentioned
this class to Dr. meyerling.
Oh, are you a patient of his too?
I'm sure that's where they
drum up all their business.
Stop talking and scream.
Okay everyone, great.
Sit and relax.
Connie?
This is a kit to help you
prepare for the changes ahead.
How many of you have
been getting heartburn?
Constipation?
Has anyone's navel pop yet?
Mine has.
Placenta recipes?
Ew.
It helps you bond with the baby.
And delicious too.
That's something to help you
focus your energy into the child.
Oh, come on.
Beth, life works
believes in homeopathic,
holistic approach to natural birthing.
When do I get my husband involved?
Well,
we just feel that
outsiders tend to inhibit
communion with the person
growing inside of you.
And men do tend to become so jealous.
Unlike Turkey basters.
Well thank you very much for
this little intro lesson.
Beth, wait, please don't leave.
I think I'll just stick with Jane Fonda.
Gloria, it's okay, let her go.
We can do without the negative energy.
You know, I talked to Dr. meyerling.
He said you two don't really have
any formal training or accreditation.
Well, he would.
See, those are masculine
authority concepts.
I wish you wouldn't be so afraid
to embrace your own gender.
Suck my dick.
Good morning.
Good morning.
God, you look beautiful.
It's true what they say.
You're glowing.
Virginia?
Honey?
Honey, are you all right?
Oh yeah, swell.
Ups was just here.
I think it's from your mother.
Do you even have the faintest idea
of how to use those things?
The joy of knitting.
She thinks of everything, doesn't she?
She is really with it.
Oh, honey.
She's coming to visit.
I know but come on, she is my mother.
She's already bought the ticket.
When?
Not until the last week in October.
"Super saver special.
Maybe we can move by then.
I'm sorry.
Oh, oh.
I forgot, I've gotta be
in New York that week.
What a shame.
How convenient.
I'm serious.
That's when the big merger goes down.
Uh huh.
Well, you can see her when you get back.
She'll be here for awhile.
How is that stuff?
Vile.
But meyerling says the
extra protein is important.
Whoa.
Five bucks a pop.
This is where he makes all the money.
What's on for today?
I have a checkup this morning
and then I'm going to meet Chuck Martinez,
producer of am live.
You sound thrilled.
Are you all right?
You act a little down.
I'm fine.
See you tonight.
Well, everything seems to be in place.
You can get dressed now.
Any problems?
No.
Oh, a little morning sickness.
There is something I
wanted to ask you about.
I used to take these pills.
Not in a long time but...
What kind of pills?
These are a very powerful antidepressant.
I know.
I was thinking of getting
the prescription refilled.
Is it safe?
Can you do without it?
Oh yeah, sure.
I was just wondering.
May I ask when you
started to take these?
Three years ago.
I had what I guess you'd
call a nervous breakdown.
Brad was studying all the time.
Law school.
We were broke.
And my father died.
Another miscarriage.
I had to spend some time in the hospital.
How long?
A month.
They called is paranoid depression.
My mother's had problems too.
She's always been pretty unstable
and she's an alcoholic.
Virginia, if you're
worrying about the baby,
don't.
There's no madness in your blood.
This is not a gothic novel.
There's nothing to worry about.
Thank you, Dr. meyerling.
So you'll be following
the travel log spot.
Sally will start by plugging the book.
What is it, the magic pillow?
Window, the magic window.
Cute title.
I didn't have a chance to read it.
Well, it's about a little
girl who's very unhappy.
Her dreams take her to this fantasy world.
Princes, fairies, things like that?
No, I was trying to take this book
in a more serious direction.
It deals a lot with children's fears.
You know, death,
evil people, bottomless pits.
Don't make it sound too dark.
Oh, no, no, the point is that
she triumphs over all of it.
When she wakes up she realizes
that her own life is okay after all.
Her whole life is completely beautiful.
Keep it upbeat.
Well, kids are a lot
smarter than you think.
I try not to lie to them.
Our audience is mostly
housewives and mothers.
They buy the books for the kids.
You hook them and you can
triple your sales by next week.
Are you serious?
Absolutely.
You'll have a top drawer
publisher in now time.
We'll make it happen.
You know, Jeff DeWitt really built you up.
I hope you're ready for this.
Oh, don't worry, I'm ready.
I would never wanna let Jeff down.
He's a great guy, isn't he?
Oh yeah.
The best.
You met their little girl?
Beautiful kid and so bright.
Yeah, I've heard a lot about her.
Why are the lights out?
Isabel?
Must be the circuit breaker.
Isabel?
Isabel, where are?
Bobby?
Alicia?
Isabel!
Calm down, Cindy, maybe they went out.
In english.
Speak english.
The baby!
The baby!
Oh my God, what happened to the baby?!
Oh no!
Oh my God!
How could you do this?
How could you be so stupid?!
No, no, porfavor, not me.
The baby!
The baby!
Baby?
Go ahead.
Tell me I'm glowing.
Jesus!
Don't do that.
I'm sorry.
What is that, some kind of rash?
It's nothing.
You know, computers generate pcps.
It may not be good for the baby.
Oh, for Christ sake!
I've give up smoking and drinking.
Now you want me to give up writing?
What am I, a God damn Incubator?!
Just a suggestion.
No, I'm sorry.
I'll dig out the typewriter.
I don't know how you can put up with me.
That's easy.
I love you.
Ow, ow, ow!
Ow!
Come on, that really hurts.
Look, maybe this isn't such a good idea.
I mean, I'm not really
sure that it's safe, is it?
Fuck you.
Virginia?
Honey.
Virginia?
Honey?
Your moodiness is completely normal,
as is the rash.
You know, sometimes a woman's
body, the immune system,
well it just goes haywire.
Takes awhile to adjust.
It's so much stranger
than I ever imagined,
having this thing growing inside of me.
It's not a thing, Virginia,
it's your own flesh and blood.
But it is a new life.
Think of that.
What an exciting prospect.
You're carrying the future.
Now, this is for the rash.
Apply the cream in the morning,
keep it covered and I think
it will recede in time.
And I want you to listen to this tape.
I think you'll find it calming.
New age music?
It's designed to induce Alpha waves.
Like biofeedback
and I know, I know, I used to
think that stuff was bs too.
But it's been a great help
to some high blood pressure patients.
Also, special bonus gift.
It's 2A mood elevator.
Very mild.
Take one every six hours during the day.
Thank you.
I've always wanted a child.
I don't know why I'm reacting like this.
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing it.
The key is to relax.
Stop fighting it.
Let it happen.
We'll take care of you.
Wouldn't it be better
if you cooked it a little first?
It's fine like this.
You sure you're gonna be all right?
You're only going to new
York for a couple days.
I'm a big girl.
A very big girl.
Here.
So, what's on the agenda?
I'm going to try and write for a change
and I'm gonna pick mom up
at the airport tomorrow
and we're gonna go to the studio together.
Now you know I wish I could be there.
Don't touch the vcr, I got
it set to tape the show.
There's my cab.
Mmm, ketchup.
Bye.
Break a leg.
Hello?
Virginia Marshall?
Yes.
This is Beth Sanders
from the life works class.
Oh, hi Beth.
Have you been back there?
Have you seen the other women?
Oh no, I just
went to the one class.
How're you doing?
Virginia, I have to
talk to somebody about...
Someone who would
understand what's going on.
What do you mean?
How's your neck?
Huh?
I have a little rash.
You too, huh?
Listen, do you know about any
of Dr. meyerling's other patients?
Like Janet Robinson?
No.
Or Cindy DeWitt?
Yes.
Cindy referred Dr. meyerling to me.
God, what she's been through.
Listen, could I meet you for coffee
or something right now?
Actually,
I'm very...
I'm very tired.
Dr. meyerling gave me these pills.
Don't take them.
What?
It's just that I don't trust him.
He's not an ordinary doctor.
He's a researcher.
A geneticist.
Have you ever heard of
the human genome project?
Um.
I've been to another doctor.
The rash, well it's not normal.
I had an amnio, I get the
results tomorrow morning.
Wait,
what are you saying?
Why did you need an amniocentesis?
How soon can I see you?
Tomorrow?
I work downtown at the globe.
Could you meet me here, say noon?
Okay.
Uh huh.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hello?
Yes, this is she.
Do you have the results of my test?
No, tell me now, I need to know!
51 chromosomes?
What does that mean?
How can you not know?!
God!
Oh my God!
Ow!
Stop!
Stop it, please stop!
Hello.
Is Beth here?
She hasn't been in today.
Really?
I had a lunch date with her.
Well, let me see if
she left any messages.
Why don't you have a seat?
Miss?
We just had a call.
It's Beth.
She's in a coma.
They can't hurt you.
You're stronger.
You're smarter.
You're better.
It's all right.
They can't hurt you.
You're stronger.
Smarter.
Better.
You're more.
It's all right.
It's coming.
It belongs to you.
Joe.
Oh God, Joe.
Come on, wake up.
You lazy cat, come on.
You're such a sleepy head.
I know, where's your little mouse?
It'll perk you up.
You love your little mouse.
Hi,
you've reached the marshalls.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Where are you?
I've been trying to reach you all day.
Listen, everything's fine with me.
Brad!
Brad, no, Brad!
Brad!
Love you.
Ginny?
Virginia?
You here?
Mom.
My darling.
Oh, what happened?
Did Brad do this?
I don't think so.
Who was it?
No one.
I don't know.
There's this thing growing inside of me.
Your baby.
It's not my baby.
I'm gonna call the doctor.
No!
Nol
where's the phone?
It's okay, mom.
I'm okay.
Everything's okay.
I was just looking for something.
Are you sure you're okay?
Did you cancel your show?
What time is it?
8:30.
I gotta get dressed.
And so the scrappy
little nation of Panama
has overcome its trial by fire
to become one of the vacation
bargains of the Caribbean.
We'll be right back after these words.
Clear.
That stupid bitch!
Where the hell is she?
Relax, Sally, she's in makeup.
She's on in 60 seconds.
48,
Almost there.
Good luck.
You look wonderful.
Hello.
Hi, just take a seat.
Cutting it kinda close, aren't we?
So you got it straight with Chuck, right?
We start with your book
and then we move on
to how you juggle career and family.
10 seconds.
Nine.
Anything specific
you want me to ask you about?
The babies.
Are you having twins?
Two, one.
We're on.
Welcome back.
And with us today is the author of many
popular and charming children's books,
including this most recent
work, the magic window.
Virginia Marshall.
Thank you for coming, Virginia.
Now let's talk about this latest book.
The magic window.
Now it's a somewhat more challenging story
than the ones you've written
before, isn't that so?
I'm sorry.
I don't wanna talk about that.
Well, we'll come back to it.
I think everybody here can see
that you're expecting a
child of your own, Virginia.
Your first, am I correct?
God, it's a nightmare.
Yes, well,
you know, when I was expecting,
it was a nightmare too.
All the things they say
about pickles and ice cream...
There's something
wrong with the children!
Zoom on Sally.
I'll never forget my
favorite children's book.
It was by Dr. Seuss.
Shut up!
They're doing something to the children!
They're changing them!
They don't belong to us anymore.
Jesus, she's a schizo.
Cut to a commercial.
This is not my baby!
I don't know what it
is but it is not mine!
They're using us!
They're using our bodies!
They're eating us alive!
Ginny!
Ginny!
Somebody call the doctor!
No!
We gotta get her to the hospital!
Cue the rerun!
Cue up the rerun!
Gotta stay calm, Virginia.
I assure you, rupture of the navel
is common during pregnancy.
Nothing to worry about.
We'll take good care of you.
How is she?
Oh, she'll be fine.
Thank you for bringing her here.
You did exactly the right thing.
I'd like to keep her under
observation for a little while.
How long?
That depends, she just needs some rest.
I'll keep an eye on her.
You know, I'm very fond of Virginia.
Beth.
Oh no.
Beth.
You're so hot.
Thank you for calling jde.
Due to the large volume of
calls to direct re-assistance,
your call may be delayed.
Please stay on the line.
Your call will be answered
in the order it was received.
City and listing.
Life works.
I need the number for life works.
What city?
I don't know.
Near here, downtown.
Business or residence?
Both.
Business.
Hold for the number.
The number is 5-5-5,
4-6-2-1.
Hello?
Oh, thank God!
Connie, this is Virginia mar...
You've reached life works,
the total birthing experience center.
Connie and Gloria can't
come to the phone right now
but please talk to us,
we'll get right back to you.
Connie, this is Virginia Marshall.
I took your class, I need to talk to you.
There's something terrible going on.
Please, Gloria!
Nol
nol
if you're there, answer.
I don't know who else to call.
I don't know what's going on.
No!
I can't love you both.
The baby needs all my love.
Please, if you're there, answer.
I don't know who else to call.
I don't know what's going on.
Please, call the police!
Connie?
Help me!
Call the police!
Connie, what's happening?
Help me!
Pleasel

Gloria.
Who is it?
Ma'am, it's the police.
Hi, does this woman live here?
Yes, of course.
This is my daughter, Virginia.
What are you doing out?
We found her walking downtown.
You know, she shouldn't
be out in her condition.
No.
I'll take care of her.
Thank you.
Goodnight, now.
What on earth are you
doing out of the hospital?
What're you doing?
Isn't that bad for the baby these days?
I need a cigarette.
What's happening to you?
Look.
Oh my God.
The baby is doing it.
My body is fighting it
as if it was a disease
because it's not human.
Meyerling changed it.
It's not part of me.
What're you saying?
I have no choice.
I have to get rid of it.
No!
I have to get rid of it
now before they find me.
No, you can't!
Mother, I need your help.
For once in your life,
you've got to be strong.
I need you by my side, trust me.
Believe me, I have got to do this.
But what about Brad?
You have to talk to Brad.
I can't.
Not until it's over.
It's gotta be stopped.
It's gotta be stopped now.
I'm vv a ry I vv ery s o r ry
you're obviously in the third trimester.
No I'm not!
I'm afraid you are.
We can't possibly...
You have to!
Please, it's out of the question.
It's against the law.
What you need at this
point is some counseling.
These people are really quiet good.
Do you have a regular
doctor we can contact?
Ginny, honey, come on, let's go home.
Thank you.
Excuse me, miss?
Who are you?
If you've got 500 dollars,
maybe I could help you out.
Just sit back. Be over before you know it.
Jesus Christ.
Look at this.
It's all poison?
Yeah.
Candy apple time.
What?
What?
Put her out.
Oh my God.
Put her out now!
Goddamn it, put her out!
Sorry, hun.
They're using us!
They're using our bodies!
They're eating us alive!
Doing something to the
children, they're changing them.
They don't belong to us anymore.
This is not my baby.
Virginia, thank God.
Oh God, thank God.
Hello, Brad.
Are you all right?
What happened?
We couldn't keep the child, Brad.
Another miscarriage?
Then what?
What happened?
What did you do?
Leave her alone.
I got rid of it.
An abortion?
How could you?
What?
After all these years of trying.
I mean, God, why?
Why?
It wasn't ours.
You let her do this?
My God.
I go away for two days and
you lose your fucking mind?
You're incapable with coping with reality.
You killed our baby.
Why did you send me to meyerling?
Because he could give us a baby.
I thought that that's what we both wanted.
But he did something more
to the fetus, didn't he?
Tell me the truth, Brad,
you were part of it.
Jesus Christ, you were part of it.
Weren't you?
It was just to make
sure that the baby lived.
And you could have never
had a child otherwise.
What did he do?
I don't know, exactly.
He modified the sperm.
Something about protein synthases.
Making the baby stronger
and more viable in the womb.
It's worked for a lot of women.
Don't you know what he's doing?
He's using us.
He doesn't care if we die, if it kills us.
It's okay, as long as the baby survives.
He's changing the genes.
He's building some sort of master race.
Virginia, stop.
I saw it.
Just stop it.
Listen to yourself.
It's happening again.
Why didn't you tell me?
Mevyerling and I talked about it,
about telling you.
We just didn't think you were
quite ready to deal with it.
I didn't want to scare you.
How could we have let this happen?
Get away from me.
I can't deal with this.
To hell with it.
To hell with you!
It's a good thing you got rid of it!
What kind of mother would
you have been anyway?
Virginia.
Honey, are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Virginia.
Brad,
help me.
Oh my God.
It's horrible.
I heard screams!
Ginny, what's going on?
Get in.
Where are we going?
We're going to the doctor's.
Virginia.
Hello, Dr. meyerling.
So glad you're all right.
The baby.
Life's full of surprises.
What did you do to the baby, Virginia?
What did you do to the baby?
What did you do to me?!
Please don't point that gun at me.
It isn't necessary.
Maybe it'll help you to
tell the truth for once.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
We only wanted to make better babies.
You're making monsters.
They're not monsters.
They are better, stronger,
more intelligent.
They're still only infants.
They don't mean to cause harm.
They just don't know
what they're doing yet.
They are going to replace us and why not?
Look at us, look at what
we've done to this planet.
In a few years they'll come of age.
No.
I'm sorry if I cause you
or anyone else to suffer,
thank God that's all over now.
We don't need mothers anymore.
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus.
No!
- Let's go!
- Ginny!
Oh, Jesus.
Drive! Drive!
They're taking over, the next generation.
They're inheriting the earth
and I can't stop them.
Virginia, I gotta get you some help.
No matter what you did, they
can't hold you responsible.
I'd tell someone but...
I'm paranoid,
with a history of mental illness.
They won't put you in jail.
I suppose they might put you in a hospital
but you'll get better.
I know you would, you did last time.
Virginia,
I love you.
Always remember that.
It's okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.
What are you doing up?
I didn't wanna wake you, honey.
I was just feeling hungry.
Careful.
He's kicking.
He's been so active tonight.
Maybe he wants to come out and play.
What is it?
Is it coming?
I don't know.
I feel really funny.
God.
Something's wrong.
I'll call the hospital.
Oh, God!
Help me!
Yes, yes, my wife is
having contractions.
Robinson, Janet.
No, that's r-o-b-i...
Janet?
Mister and misses Marshall,
we have an appointment.
Okay, you need to fill this out
and the doctor will be
with you in a few minutes.
Thanks.
Thank you.
How many years have we been trying?
Four, four and a half?
It's more like five.
It's five years.
Excuse me, this is your
first visit, isn't it?
We've been on the waiting
list since last August.
Well, meyerling really is the best.
I'd prefer a female obgyn
but his success rate wit infertility
is close to a hundred percent.
I'm sure everything
will work out for your.
Have you?
Are you one of his patients?
No,
actually, I'm waiting for a friend.
In fact, she and I are starting
our own birthing class.
Life works.
Is sorta like lamaze?
Oh, it's beyond lamaze.
Purely self actuated, untainted
by the male perspective.
No offense.
Oh, none taken.
Anyway, I hope you'll give
me a call when the times comes.
Connie?
How did it go?
Everything's great.
He even said I was radiant.
Good luck.
He said the rashes
are completely normal.
He gave me some cream.
Cute couple.
The doctor will see you now.
Hi.
You must be the marshalls.
I'm Dr. meyerling.
Come on back.
It's Virginia and Brad, isn't it?
Mhmm.
Come on.
So glad you've decided
to see us, doctor.
We've been through everything
from thermometers to hormone treatments.
We were almost ready to try voodoo.
I apologize for the waiting list.
I hate having to do that.
So,
who recommended me to you?
Jeff Dewitt.
He's a partner at my law firm.
Well, it's not mine.
I'm just an associate.
Yes, the dewitts, a
highly motivated couple.
Their little girl must
be two years old by now.
That's right.
They're so thrilled with her
and yet she's so bright.
So, let's get you going, shall we?
The first step, Mr.
Marshall, is to take a sample
from you for testing.
Of course.
Oh, you mean now?
I hope you're in the mood.
Mr. Marshall, if you could come with me.
Wish me luck.
You know, I don't usually
take cases like yours.
That bad, huh?
No, women who are married to lawyers.
I see that you're a writer.
Uh huh.
Anything that I might have read?
I doubt it.
I write children's books.
Do children still read?
Well, there are a dozen or
so left that don't have mtv.
Oh, here.
And just let me know
when you're done, okay?
Malformed fallopian tubes,
scared uterine tissue.
Two miscarriages?
I've been told that the
only way I can have children
is to adopt.
Nonsense, your case
is trickier than some
but I don't anticipate any difficulty.
I'm very surprised to
hear that, Dr. meyerling.
I'm sorry if I sound dubious
but I have been told that it was hopeless.
Strike that word from your vocabulary.
Technology of in vitro pregnancy
has progressed so rabidly
that today almost anything is possible.
You don't know how
much I wanna believe you.
Then believe.
You deserve to have a child and you will.
It's as simple as that.
Isabel's the perfect nanny.
So good with Alisha.
She's Spanish, you know?
From Spain, not Mexico.
She has a niece who wants
to come to this country.
So if you're interested
in an au pair girl,
we can arrange one around the ins.
Well, how did it go with Richard?
Dr. meyerling?
Oh, fine.
I'm going in for tests next week.
He's a doll, isn't he?
You know, after Bobby,
well we love him dearly
but we were both a little nervous
about having another child
and then Richard helped
bring Alisha into the world.
When we took her to Disney world,
vou know the hall of presidents?
She actually picked out eisenhower.
What?
She's two.
She's a miracle.
What counts is getting your
children off to the right start.
The way the world is going,
there won't be any room for mediocrity.
Jeff, Cindy?
Oh, no, no, it's a fine wine though.
For a year with so much rain.
How's the book going, Virginia?
Still with the same publisher?
You can do better.
They've always been good to me.
Never put you on the map.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is the smoke bothering you?
No, no.
Of course, you're going to have
to give that up when you're.
Of course.
And have you thought about
what you're going to do about the cat?
What do you mean?
Well it's bad to have a cat around
pregnant women and babies.
Their stools carry disease.
Fine.
Brad can deal with the litter box.
I have got a great idea.
Chuck Martinez, producer of am live,
he's a client of mine.
He owes me one.
She'd make a perfect guest.
Could lead to bigger and better things.
Wait a minute, a talk show?
Everybody needs publicity, Virginia.
Stop hiding your light under a bushel.
Virginia looks good.
Yes.
She seems well.
No problems these days?
Oh.
Is that apple?
Did you bake it yourself?
No.
Of course.
Who has the time?
Thank you so much for coming.
We'll have to do it again soon.
Good night.
Good night.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Is that you Brad?
I've forgotten the sound of your voice.
Look,
you have to see them, what,
once every six months?
I have to work with that guy every day.
They mean well,
in their own, obnoxious way.
You know, Jeff really will
get you on that TV show.
Oh, I know.
And it probably really
will help my career.
That only makes it worse.
How so?
I wish they'd stop doing things for us
and just let me hate them.
And if I heard one more word
about their precious Alisha
tonight, I would've spit up.
Give them a break.
I mean, Jesus, their kid,
Bobby, is mentally retarded.
Just imagine what that's like.
Now they got this little girl
whose some kind of genius.
Of course they're gonna
talk about her all the time.
Is that gonna happen to us?
Are we gonna be one of
those horrible couples
that keeps flashing photos of
their kids to total strangers?
Endless stories of baby's first poop.
Bronzing diapers.
Aw.
Now isn't he the most adorable snookems
in the whole wide world?
He's got your whiskers.
Do you realize that's
the first time in months
we've made love without
consulting a chart?
I know.
What's he gonna be like?
Who, the baby?
He's gonna be perfect.
What if he's not?
Huh?
What if there's something wrong?
I mean, we could have a baby like Bobby
or one born with half a heart.
What then?
What do you mean?
We couldn't give him back.
We'd love him.
Mhmm.
What if he turns out like me?
These things can be inherited.
Virginia,
when are you gonna stop
worrying about your family?
My mother is held together
with scotch tape and valium
and me with without my pills...
You get depressed once and awhile.
Big deal.
This doesn't make you
some genetic deficient.
I don't know.
Now that this really seems
like it might happen,
I'm starting...
Cold feet, huh?
I hate that!
I've never been under the knife before.
There's nothing to it.
You can do it in your sleep.
While you're getting your beauty rest,
we shall enter the ovary,
select the ripe egg from the follicle,
fertilize it and slip
it back into the uterus,
where it belongs.
After that, of course, you
have to do all the work.
Well, I guess I'm ready.
Please count
backwards from a hundred.
O08.
06,
05,
I'm really very optimistic.
Yes.
But I think it best that we
keep this between ourselves.
No, please don't.
Stop.
Nol
Virginia.
Honey.
What happened?
The doctor thinks it worked.
We're gonna have a baby.
I'm gonna be a mother.
Uh huh.
Very good.
Remember, everyone,
this is the most beautiful
experience a woman could have.
Now let's get back to the breathing.
In.
Yes, deeper.
Now let it all out.
No, no, I didn't believe you.
This has to be a joyous, totally scream.
Let's try it again.
Squatting.
In.
Good, in.
I'm not very good at screaming.
Neither am I but
believe me, you'll scream.
Imagine passing a bowling
ball through your nostril.
That's exactly the sort of male imaging
we're trying to avoid here.
Let's try
it again, on all fours.
Slowly.
Take it all in.
You know, I mentioned
this class to Dr. meyerling.
Oh, are you a patient of his too?
I'm sure that's where they
drum up all their business.
Stop talking and scream.
Okay everyone, great.
Sit and relax.
Connie?
This is a kit to help you
prepare for the changes ahead.
How many of you have
been getting heartburn?
Constipation?
Has anyone's navel pop yet?
Mine has.
Placenta recipes?
Ew.
It helps you bond with the baby.
And delicious too.
That's something to help you
focus your energy into the child.
Oh, come on.
Beth, life works
believes in homeopathic,
holistic approach to natural birthing.
When do I get my husband involved?
Well,
we just feel that
outsiders tend to inhibit
communion with the person
growing inside of you.
And men do tend to become so jealous.
Unlike Turkey basters.
Well thank you very much for
this little intro lesson.
Beth, wait, please don't leave.
I think I'll just stick with Jane Fonda.
Gloria, it's okay, let her go.
We can do without the negative energy.
You know, I talked to Dr. meyerling.
He said you two don't really have
any formal training or accreditation.
Well, he would.
See, those are masculine
authority concepts.
I wish you wouldn't be so afraid
to embrace your own gender.
Suck my dick.
Good morning.
Good morning.
God, you look beautiful.
It's true what they say.
You're glowing.
Virginia?
Honey?
Honey, are you all right?
Oh yeah, swell.
Ups was just here.
I think it's from your mother.
Do you even have the faintest idea
of how to use those things?
The joy of knitting.
She thinks of everything, doesn't she?
She is really with it.
Oh, honey.
She's coming to visit.
I know but come on, she is my mother.
She's already bought the ticket.
When?
Not until the last week in October.
"Super saver special.
Maybe we can move by then.
I'm sorry.
Oh, oh.
I forgot, I've gotta be
in New York that week.
What a shame.
How convenient.
I'm serious.
That's when the big merger goes down.
Uh huh.
Well, you can see her when you get back.
She'll be here for awhile.
How is that stuff?
Vile.
But meyerling says the
extra protein is important.
Whoa.
Five bucks a pop.
This is where he makes all the money.
What's on for today?
I have a checkup this morning
and then I'm going to meet Chuck Martinez,
producer of am live.
You sound thrilled.
Are you all right?
You act a little down.
I'm fine.
See you tonight.
Well, everything seems to be in place.
You can get dressed now.
Any problems?
No.
Oh, a little morning sickness.
There is something I
wanted to ask you about.
I used to take these pills.
Not in a long time but...
What kind of pills?
These are a very powerful antidepressant.
I know.
I was thinking of getting
the prescription refilled.
Is it safe?
Can you do without it?
Oh yeah, sure.
I was just wondering.
May I ask when you
started to take these?
Three years ago.
I had what I guess you'd
call a nervous breakdown.
Brad was studying all the time.
Law school.
We were broke.
And my father died.
Another miscarriage.
I had to spend some time in the hospital.
How long?
A month.
They called is paranoid depression.
My mother's had problems too.
She's always been pretty unstable
and she's an alcoholic.
Virginia, if you're
worrying about the baby,
don't.
There's no madness in your blood.
This is not a gothic novel.
There's nothing to worry about.
Thank you, Dr. meyerling.
So you'll be following
the travel log spot.
Sally will start by plugging the book.
What is it, the magic pillow?
Window, the magic window.
Cute title.
I didn't have a chance to read it.
Well, it's about a little
girl who's very unhappy.
Her dreams take her to this fantasy world.
Princes, fairies, things like that?
No, I was trying to take this book
in a more serious direction.
It deals a lot with children's fears.
You know, death,
evil people, bottomless pits.
Don't make it sound too dark.
Oh, no, no, the point is that
she triumphs over all of it.
When she wakes up she realizes
that her own life is okay after all.
Her whole life is completely beautiful.
Keep it upbeat.
Well, kids are a lot
smarter than you think.
I try not to lie to them.
Our audience is mostly
housewives and mothers.
They buy the books for the kids.
You hook them and you can
triple your sales by next week.
Are you serious?
Absolutely.
You'll have a top drawer
publisher in now time.
We'll make it happen.
You know, Jeff DeWitt really built you up.
I hope you're ready for this.
Oh, don't worry, I'm ready.
I would never wanna let Jeff down.
He's a great guy, isn't he?
Oh yeah.
The best.
You met their little girl?
Beautiful kid and so bright.
Yeah, I've heard a lot about her.
Why are the lights out?
Isabel?
Must be the circuit breaker.
Isabel?
Isabel, where are?
Bobby?
Alicia?
Isabel!
Calm down, Cindy, maybe they went out.
In english.
Speak english.
The baby!
The baby!
Oh my God, what happened to the baby?!
Oh no!
Oh my God!
How could you do this?
How could you be so stupid?!
No, no, porfavor, not me.
The baby!
The baby!
Baby?
Go ahead.
Tell me I'm glowing.
Jesus!
Don't do that.
I'm sorry.
What is that, some kind of rash?
It's nothing.
You know, computers generate pcps.
It may not be good for the baby.
Oh, for Christ sake!
I've give up smoking and drinking.
Now you want me to give up writing?
What am I, a God damn Incubator?!
Just a suggestion.
No, I'm sorry.
I'll dig out the typewriter.
I don't know how you can put up with me.
That's easy.
I love you.
Ow, ow, ow!
Ow!
Come on, that really hurts.
Look, maybe this isn't such a good idea.
I mean, I'm not really
sure that it's safe, is it?
Fuck you.
Virginia?
Honey.
Virginia?
Honey?
Your moodiness is completely normal,
as is the rash.
You know, sometimes a woman's
body, the immune system,
well it just goes haywire.
Takes awhile to adjust.
It's so much stranger
than I ever imagined,
having this thing growing inside of me.
It's not a thing, Virginia,
it's your own flesh and blood.
But it is a new life.
Think of that.
What an exciting prospect.
You're carrying the future.
Now, this is for the rash.
Apply the cream in the morning,
keep it covered and I think
it will recede in time.
And I want you to listen to this tape.
I think you'll find it calming.
New age music?
It's designed to induce Alpha waves.
Like biofeedback
and I know, I know, I used to
think that stuff was bs too.
But it's been a great help
to some high blood pressure patients.
Also, special bonus gift.
It's 2A mood elevator.
Very mild.
Take one every six hours during the day.
Thank you.
I've always wanted a child.
I don't know why I'm reacting like this.
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing it.
The key is to relax.
Stop fighting it.
Let it happen.
We'll take care of you.
Wouldn't it be better
if you cooked it a little first?
It's fine like this.
You sure you're gonna be all right?
You're only going to new
York for a couple days.
I'm a big girl.
A very big girl.
Here.
So, what's on the agenda?
I'm going to try and write for a change
and I'm gonna pick mom up
at the airport tomorrow
and we're gonna go to the studio together.
Now you know I wish I could be there.
Don't touch the vcr, I got
it set to tape the show.
There's my cab.
Mmm, ketchup.
Bye.
Break a leg.
Hello?
Virginia Marshall?
Yes.
This is Beth Sanders
from the life works class.
Oh, hi Beth.
Have you been back there?
Have you seen the other women?
Oh no, I just
went to the one class.
How're you doing?
Virginia, I have to
talk to somebody about...
Someone who would
understand what's going on.
What do you mean?
How's your neck?
Huh?
I have a little rash.
You too, huh?
Listen, do you know about any
of Dr. meyerling's other patients?
Like Janet Robinson?
No.
Or Cindy DeWitt?
Yes.
Cindy referred Dr. meyerling to me.
God, what she's been through.
Listen, could I meet you for coffee
or something right now?
Actually,
I'm very...
I'm very tired.
Dr. meyerling gave me these pills.
Don't take them.
What?
It's just that I don't trust him.
He's not an ordinary doctor.
He's a researcher.
A geneticist.
Have you ever heard of
the human genome project?
Um.
I've been to another doctor.
The rash, well it's not normal.
I had an amnio, I get the
results tomorrow morning.
Wait,
what are you saying?
Why did you need an amniocentesis?
How soon can I see you?
Tomorrow?
I work downtown at the globe.
Could you meet me here, say noon?
Okay.
Uh huh.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hello?
Yes, this is she.
Do you have the results of my test?
No, tell me now, I need to know!
51 chromosomes?
What does that mean?
How can you not know?!
God!
Oh my God!
Ow!
Stop!
Stop it, please stop!
Hello.
Is Beth here?
She hasn't been in today.
Really?
I had a lunch date with her.
Well, let me see if
she left any messages.
Why don't you have a seat?
Miss?
We just had a call.
It's Beth.
She's in a coma.
They can't hurt you.
You're stronger.
You're smarter.
You're better.
It's all right.
They can't hurt you.
You're stronger.
Smarter.
Better.
You're more.
It's all right.
It's coming.
It belongs to you.
Joe.
Oh God, Joe.
Come on, wake up.
You lazy cat, come on.
You're such a sleepy head.
I know, where's your little mouse?
It'll perk you up.
You love your little mouse.
Hi,
you've reached the marshalls.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Where are you?
I've been trying to reach you all day.
Listen, everything's fine with me.
Brad!
Brad, no, Brad!
Brad!
Love you.
Ginny?
Virginia?
You here?
Mom.
My darling.
Oh, what happened?
Did Brad do this?
I don't think so.
Who was it?
No one.
I don't know.
There's this thing growing inside of me.
Your baby.
It's not my baby.
I'm gonna call the doctor.
No!
Nol
where's the phone?
It's okay, mom.
I'm okay.
Everything's okay.
I was just looking for something.
Are you sure you're okay?
Did you cancel your show?
What time is it?
8:30.
I gotta get dressed.
And so the scrappy
little nation of Panama
has overcome its trial by fire
to become one of the vacation
bargains of the Caribbean.
We'll be right back after these words.
Clear.
That stupid bitch!
Where the hell is she?
Relax, Sally, she's in makeup.
She's on in 60 seconds.
48,
Almost there.
Good luck.
You look wonderful.
Hello.
Hi, just take a seat.
Cutting it kinda close, aren't we?
So you got it straight with Chuck, right?
We start with your book
and then we move on
to how you juggle career and family.
10 seconds.
Nine.
Anything specific
you want me to ask you about?
The babies.
Are you having twins?
Two, one.
We're on.
Welcome back.
And with us today is the author of many
popular and charming children's books,
including this most recent
work, the magic window.
Virginia Marshall.
Thank you for coming, Virginia.
Now let's talk about this latest book.
The magic window.
Now it's a somewhat more challenging story
than the ones you've written
before, isn't that so?
I'm sorry.
I don't wanna talk about that.
Well, we'll come back to it.
I think everybody here can see
that you're expecting a
child of your own, Virginia.
Your first, am I correct?
God, it's a nightmare.
Yes, well,
you know, when I was expecting,
it was a nightmare too.
All the things they say
about pickles and ice cream...
There's something
wrong with the children!
Zoom on Sally.
I'll never forget my
favorite children's book.
It was by Dr. Seuss.
Shut up!
They're doing something to the children!
They're changing them!
They don't belong to us anymore.
Jesus, she's a schizo.
Cut to a commercial.
This is not my baby!
I don't know what it
is but it is not mine!
They're using us!
They're using our bodies!
They're eating us alive!
Ginny!
Ginny!
Somebody call the doctor!
No!
We gotta get her to the hospital!
Cue the rerun!
Cue up the rerun!
Gotta stay calm, Virginia.
I assure you, rupture of the navel
is common during pregnancy.
Nothing to worry about.
We'll take good care of you.
How is she?
Oh, she'll be fine.
Thank you for bringing her here.
You did exactly the right thing.
I'd like to keep her under
observation for a little while.
How long?
That depends, she just needs some rest.
I'll keep an eye on her.
You know, I'm very fond of Virginia.
Beth.

Gloria.
Who is it?
Ma'am, it's the police.
Hi, does this woman live here?
Yes, of course.
This is my daughter, Virginia.
What are you doing out?
We found her walking downtown.
You know, she shouldn't
be out in her condition.
No.
I'll take care of her.
Thank you.
Goodnight, now.
What on earth are you
doing out of the hospital?
What're you doing?
Isn't that bad for the baby these days?
I need a cigarette.
What's happening to you?
Look.
Oh my God.
The baby is doing it.
My body is fighting it
as if it was a disease
because it's not human.
Meyerling changed it.
It's not part of me.
What're you saying?
I have no choice.
I have to get rid of it.
No!
I have to get rid of it
now before they find me.
No, you can't!
Mother, I need your help.
For once in your life,
you've got to be strong.
I need you by my side, trust me.
Believe me, I have got to do this.
But what about Brad?
You have to talk to Brad.
I can't.
Not until it's over.
It's gotta be stopped.
It's gotta be stopped now.
I'm vv a ry I vv ery s o r ry
you're obviously in the third trimester.
No I'm not!
I'm afraid you are.
We can't possibly...
You have to!
Please, it's out of the question.
It's against the law.
What you need at this
point is some counseling.
These people are really quiet good.
Do you have a regular
doctor we can contact?
Ginny, honey, come on, let's go home.
Thank you.
Excuse me, miss?
Who are you?
If you've got 500 dollars,
maybe I could help you out.
Just sit back. Be over before you know it.
Jesus Christ.
Look at this.
It's all poison?
Yeah.
Candy apple time.
What?
What?
Put her out.
Oh my God.
Put her out now!
Goddamn it, put her out!
Sorry, hun.
They're using us!
They're using our bodies!
They're eating us alive!
Doing something to the
children, they're changing them.
They don't belong to us anymore.
This is not my baby.
Virginia, thank God.
Oh God, thank God.
Hello, Brad.
Are you all right?
What happened?
We couldn't keep the child, Brad.
Another miscarriage?
Then what?
What happened?
What did you do?
Leave her alone.
I got rid of it.
An abortion?
How could you?
What?
After all these years of trying.
I mean, God, why?
Why?
It wasn't ours.
You let her do this?
My God.
I go away for two days and
you lose your fucking mind?
You're incapable with coping with reality.
You killed our baby.
Why did you send me to meyerling?
Because he could give us a baby.
I thought that that's what we both wanted.
But he did something more
to the fetus, didn't he?
Tell me the truth, Brad,
you were part of it.
Jesus Christ, you were part of it.
Weren't you?
It was just to make
sure that the baby lived.
And you could have never
had a child otherwise.
What did he do?
I don't know, exactly.
He modified the sperm.
Something about protein synthases.
Making the baby stronger
and more viable in the womb.
It's worked for a lot of women.
Don't you know what he's doing?
He's using us.
He doesn't care if we die, if it kills us.
It's okay, as long as the baby survives.
He's changing the genes.
He's building some sort of master race.
Virginia, stop.
I saw it.
Just stop it.
Listen to yourself.
It's happening again.
Why didn't you tell me?
Mevyerling and I talked about it,
about telling you.
We just didn't think you were
quite ready to deal with it.
I didn't want to scare you.
How could we have let this happen?
Get away from me.
I can't deal with this.
To hell with it.
To hell with you!
It's a good thing you got rid of it!
What kind of mother would
you have been anyway?
Virginia.
Honey, are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Virginia.
Brad,
help me.
Oh my God.
It's horrible.
I heard screams!
Ginny, what's going on?
Get in.
Where are we going?
We're going to the doctor's.
Virginia.
Hello, Dr. meyerling.
So glad you're all right.
The baby.
Life's full of surprises.
What did you do to the baby, Virginia?
What did you do to the baby?
What did you do to me?!
Please don't point that gun at me.
It isn't necessary.
Maybe it'll help you to
tell the truth for once.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
We only wanted to make better babies.
You're making monsters.
They're not monsters.
They are better, stronger,
more intelligent.
They're still only infants.
They don't mean to cause harm.
They just don't know
what they're doing yet.
They are going to replace us and why not?
Look at us, look at what
we've done to this planet.
In a few years they'll come of age.
No.
I'm sorry if I cause you
or anyone else to suffer,
thank God that's all over now.
We don't need mothers anymore.
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus.
No!
- Let's go!
- Ginny!
Oh, Jesus.
Drive! Drive!
They're taking over, the next generation.
They're inheriting the earth
and I can't stop them.
Virginia, I gotta get you some help.
No matter what you did, they
can't hold you responsible.
I'd tell someone but...
I'm paranoid,
with a history of mental illness.
They won't put you in jail.
I suppose they might put you in a hospital
but you'll get better.
I know you would, you did last time.
Virginia,
I love you.
Always remember that.
It's okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.
