Episode Script: 

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT
Gloria sits across from Mrs. Gaspar and Mrs. Majumdar.

MRS. GASPAR
Are you currently under the influence of birth control?

GLORIA
Um, yes?

MRS. GASPAR
I see. When exactly do you plan on making us grandmothers?

GLORIA
I’m focusing on my career right now.

MRS. MAJUMDAR
(scoffs)
Career! This is a career?

Mrs. Majumdar pulls out a brochure Gloria previously designed.

GLORIA
I spent a month designing that, I’m proud of it.

MRS. GASPAR
That’s really nice dear, have a sip of water, While you look at this!
Mrs. Gaspar slams down a series of photos of old people in
wheel chairs, strapped to IVs all of them are alone.

MRS. GASPAR (CONT’D)
Goody for you Soon you’ll be old, alone and drugged in a nursing
home...

MRS. MAJUMDAR
Ohh why doesn’t my beautiful brochure come to visit me.

GLORIA
We can’t afford to have kids right now.

MRS. MAJUMDAR
I see. How do you explain this?

Mrs. Gaspar Inserts a tape labelled evidence into a TV VHS combo player. Black and white security camera footage plays of Gloria buying a latte and a muffin.

MRS. GASPAR
That was 13.95! You can feed your baby for free.

Mrs. Gaspar gestures at Gloria’s breasts.

MRS. GASPAR (CONT’D)
Your breasts will produce so much milk, you can make your own latte.

GLORIA
That’s supposed to convince me to have a baby?

MRS. MAJUMDAR
Oh we are going to convince you...don’t worry,

Mrs. Gaspar flicks a switch a light behind her reveals
hundreds of flat of eggs stacked from floor to ceiling.

MRS. MAJUMDAR (CONT’D)
You’ve gone through 252 ovulations. That’s 90% of your
eggs down the toilet. Mrs. Gaspar and Mrs. Majumdar start hurling
the eggs at Gloria. Gloria ducks, they hit the wall behind her.

MRS. GASPAR
Flush! Flush your youth away!

MRS. MAJUMDAR
It’s all about me.

GLORIA
Stop! I’ll do what you want just stop!

Mrs. Majumdar pushes a piece of paper towards Gloria.

MRS. MAJUMDAR
Sign here.

Gloria starts to read the contract. (Gloria tries to phone Jay before she signs, cut to Jay dancing around in the living room with loud music playing, he can’t hear the phone). Mrs Gaspar shoves a pen towards her. Gloria takes the pen.

MRS. GASPAR
Okay you can start on the first one now and the second one within two years.

GLORIA
Second one?
