Seven Scene 14 Summary

  • It's Friday.
  • Tracy and William meet at a diner.
  • She's really depressed in the city, but she doesn't want to talk to David about it because she doesn't want to burden him.
  • She's a teacher, but she doesn't want to teach in the city.
  • Then, she drops the big bombshell: she's preggers, which is mid-'90s American slang for "pregnant." She does not want to raise her child there.
  • William admits that he was once in a relationship, and that woman got pregnant, too.
  • "How can I bring a child into a world like this?" he thought.
  • He told the woman he didn't want to have it, and she eventually had an abortion.
  • Tracy wants to have children, just not here.
  • William knows he made the right decision, but he sometimes wishes he made a different choice.
  • He advises her to never tell David she was pregnant if she has an abortion, but if she does have it, he says, "You spoil that kid every chance you get."
  • His beeper goes off because this is the Stone Age, and Tracy thanks him for the advice before he leaves.
