Knocked Up ‘I’m Pregnant’ Scene Script


This is the script for the 'I'm Pregnant' scene from Knocked Up which I primarily want to base the conversation in my film on.
__________________________________________________________________

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
Fuck off.

ALISON
What?

BEN
What?

ALISON
I’m pregnant...?

BEN
With emotion?

ALISON
With a baby. You’re the father.

BEN
I’m the father.

ALISON
Yes!

BEN
How the fuck 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 my dick. 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,” like
“get fucking going!”

BEN
Well, I assumed you were wearing a
patch, or like a dental dam or one of
those fuckin’ butterfly clips or
something like that.

ALISON
What the hell is a dental dam?

BEN
It’s like Saran Wrap! It’s disgusting,
okay? But I thought you had one. Why
the fuck 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
Was your vagina drunk? Did you think
it’s the thinnest condom on earth I
have on? I’m a fuckin’ inventor? I
made a dick-skin condom? He hollowed
out a penis and put it on? What the
fuck?!

ALISON
You are unbelievable.

BEN
Okay, you know what? Maybe, I’ve
reacted unfavorably. So what happens
now? I don’t know how this works.
ALISON
I am going to the doctor next
week...and I thought you could come
with me to the gynecologist.

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.

This is the kind of conversation I want to happen in my film and the scripting of it in my film may well end up being a modified version of this script. It would just be a matter of finding actors who can act in this way.
