Here is the clean version of my script.
___________________________________________________________________
INT. BEDROOM – LATE MORNING
ALISON wakes up and puts on a man’s shirt. The camera follows her from behind as she walks out of the bedroom switching to being in front of her as she walks through the kitchen. The camera cuts to her sitting on the couch looking at her from the front before panning down to the table. She begins fishing through photos scattered on the table and picks one up to look closer the camera follows this action.
She then looks sideways and gets up. The camera switches to an over the shoulder shot of her stood at the bedroom door where we see BEN standing at the end of the bed. They share an awkward moment before conversation begins.
ALISON
Yeah. So, I have something I really
need to tell you. It’s kind of why I
called you. Here it goes. I’m
pregnant.
BEN
What?
ALISON
What?
BEN
What?
ALISON
I’m pregnant...?
BEN
I’m the father.
ALISON
Yes!
BEN
How could this happen?
ALISON
I don’t know. I thought you were
wearing a condom.
BEN
No.
ALISON
What?
BEN
I wasn’t.
ALISON
Why not?
BEN
Because you told me not to.
ALISON
What are you talking about?
BEN
What am I talking about? You told me
not to.
ALISON
I did not tell you not to wear a
condom.
BEN
Here’s what happened, okay? I will
give you a play-by-play of my memory.
I almost had the condom on. It
was on the cusp and then you said,
“Just do it, already.”
ALISON
I didn’t mean do it without a condom.
I mean “do it” like “hurry up”.
BEN
Why didn’t you stop me once we
started?
ALISON
Oh, my God! I don’t know! I couldn’t
tell that you didn’t have one on!
Obviously, I was drunk!
BEN looks at her and sighs, close up on face.
ALISON
You are unbelievable.
BEN
Okay, you know what? Maybe, I’ve
reacted unfavourably. So what happens
now? I don’t know how this works.
ALISON goes into the bathroom and BEN follows her and stands in the doorway, he is visible in the mirror.
INT. BATHROOM – LATE MORNING
ALISON goes to the bin to retrieve a pregnancy test she took the day before we see this from inside the bin looking up at her. She passes it to BEN and turns back to look at the mirror with her hands on the sides of the sink.
ALISON
I am going to the doctor next
week...and I thought you could come
with me to the gynaecologist.
BEN
So you haven’t seen him, though?
ALISON
No.
BEN
So you don’t know if you’re pregnant.
ALISON
Well, I’m not a hundred percent sure.
BEN
You’re not a hundred percent sure. I
bet you’re not pregnant.
As BEN begins to speak ALISON washes her face the camera follows this action. When she looks back up, the camera follows, we see he has vanished.
INT. BEDROOM – LATE MORNING
ALISON returns to the bedroom, the camera following from behind. She sits on the end of the bed the camera goes to a close up of her face before switching to a mid shot. She looks down at her stomach whilst placing her hand on it the camera switches to a close up before switching back. After a few moments she looks over at her phone, the camera switches to her POV before switching back, hesitating whether to call BEN or not.
