Characters:

Lilly/Pregnant Mother:
(Female)
Line 1:
It looks like a wonderful stroller, but I don't---(SHE FEELS A SHARP PAIN)--whoa--think a stroller should cost as much as--(GROANS AS A SHARPER LABOR PAIN HITS HER)

Line 2:
Listen needle dick, this baby is----(SCREAMS). Oh god, this can't be right. Something is wrong--it feels (SCREAMS--LOUDER). Don't just stand there--call--OH MY GOD!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Clerk
(Male)
Line 1:
This is our top of the line model. Reinforced rubber wheels with all terrain tracking, a rugged steel lined roll bar and a special, patented bump absorption system so baby stays safe and comfortable regardless of the exterior conditions.

Line 2:
I can't. I mean you can't--we aren't sterile--

Line 3:
I think I see it's head. Oh god--I'm going to be sick.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Misty (early 20s/Pregnant)
(Female)

Line 1:
(SCREAMS--IN THE THROES OF LABOR.)

Line 2:
I don't care if your name is Tilly the Clown--get this thing out of me!

Line 3:
My baby...please show me my baby...please, I need to see him...please (SHE TRAILS OFF AND PASSES OUT AGAIN).


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Moody
(Male - 60s)
(Episodes 207-208)

Line 1:
Mr. Strange, I have spent most of my time right in here in Haven. The receptionist you bullied past is the same receptionist I've had for the last 37 years. And I haven't had any caramel since I became a diabetic in 2000.

Line 2:
Anything...I would give you all the money I have. (REALIZATION) Wait--no, nothing. Get away from me.

Line 3:
I command you in His name to depart!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelei
(30s Female)
(Episodes 207-209)

Line 1:
It wasn't like that. He said 7 babies would be sacrificed. I didn't know they would be my neighbors. I figured Haven General probably has 7 miscarriages a week. I thought he would just take those.

Line 2:
(SCARED)
I won't answer it. They have nothing on me. I mean, what did Paul do? How can Harry Strange tie us to the dead babies? What can he do? Show them my Ouija board?

Line 3:
(SOFT, ALMOST ENJOYING) What are you doing? I can feel you inside me. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor Melaine Chase
(Female)

Line 1

(chuckles)
That’s the liberal media for you.  The powers that be dismissed me because they couldn’t understand  my theories, my experiments. The big boys couldn’t deal with the 
fact that a mere female had bested them and developed a militarily lucrative plan.


Line 2
You, however, you’re not the average bear, are you?
Mrs Watson
(Female- 60s)

Line 1
My name is Emily Watson. Is Agnes home?

Line 2
(ANGRY) No. I want it!

---------------------------------------
Beverly
(Female - 20s)

Line 1
Thank you. It was rather sudden.  She was buried only a few hours ago. (PAUSES) Were you a friend of Mom’s?

Line 2
You’re. . . choking me!

------------------------------------------
Loretta
(Female - 30s)

Line 1
Beverly! Oh my God!

Line 2
I’m afraid not. Bev had some bad cuts on her head from landing on that table. I was trying to stem the bleeding. (LONGISH PAUSE) Can you help us, Mr. Strange? I know you deal with unusual crimes. I’ve heard tell that you’re tougher than the average private eye.


-----------------------------------------------
Doctor Poston
(Male or Female  older)

Line 1
Yes, though we’ve given her some pain medication. I expect that she’ll be dropping off shortly. She needs her rest.

Line 2
She’s stable, though pretty well banged up. She has a mild concussion and two badly cracked ribs. She will heal, but it will take time.
----------------------------------------------
Mr. Watson
(Male - 60s)

Line 1
You some kind of cop?

Line 2
Someone broke into the house while I was at the hospital and ripped the old phone right off the wall. Geez. People nowadays. Can you beat that?
