Uncertainty Surrounding Paternity in a Relationship
Jean
I don't know.
Llewyn
You don't know if it's mine?
Jean
No. How would I know?
Llewyn
So it could be Jim's?
Jean
Yes, asshole!
Llewyn
You don't want it either way, to be clear?
Jean
To be clear, asshole, you fucking asshole, I want very much to have it if it's Jim's. That's what I want. But since I don't know, you not only fucked things up by fucking me and maybe making me pregnant, but even if it's not yours, I can't know that, so I might have to get rid of what might be a perfectly fine baby, a baby I want, because everything you touch turns to shit! Like King Midas's idiot brother.
Llewyn
Well, okay. I see.
Jean
You know a doctor, right?
Llewyn
Yes.
Jean
From when? Whatever, Diane?
Llewyn
Yes.
Jean
And you'll pay for it.
Llewyn
Yes.
Jean
Don't tell Jim, obviously. I should've had you wear double condoms. Well, we shouldn't have done it in the first place, but if you ever do it again, which as a favor to women everywhere, you should not, but if you do, you should be wearing condom on condom and then wrap it in electrical tape. You should just walk around always inside a great big condom because you are shit!
Llewyn
Okay.
Jean
You should not be in contact with any living thing being shit.
Llewyn
Have you ever heard the expression, "It takes two to tango"?
Jean
Fuck you!
Llewyn
Well, I could say we should talk about this when you're less angry, but that would be... that would be... when would that be?
Jean
Fuck you! I miss Mike.
Llewyn
Could I ask you for a favor?
Jean
You're joking.
Llewyn
It's not for me. It's for the Gorfeins. Their cat got out. Could you leave the fire escape window open?
Jean
It's winter.
Llewyn
Just enough for the cat to squeeze back in? It could come back.
Jean
To our apartment? It was there like six hours. Why would it come back there?
Llewyn
I don't know! I'm not a fucking cat! Think about it! I lost their fucking cat! I feel bad about it!
Jean
That's what you feel bad about?

What's the "N" stand for? Lou N. Davis?
Llewyn
Llewyn. Llewyn, L-L-E-W-Y-N. It's Welsh.
