I'm Pregnant Over Dinner, Explained：play-by-play

A late table, work chat, and a celebrity one of them has never met make this look like an ordinary dinner. It is not. "I'm pregnant" is why the other person was called, and the meal turns into a fight over a condom and two memories of one night, then a bet that it may not be true.

あらすじ

At a restaurant, two people finally get a table and talk about work, a celebrity, and rent. One of them is Canadian and has stretched a settlement for nearly ten years. The dinner is really a confession: "I'm pregnant" and "You're the father." They fight over a condom and whose memory is right, then turn to a doctor visit and how sure the pregnancy is.

「I'm Pregnant Over Dinner」を読み解く

What's really going on

The opening looks like a follow-up dinner that cannot find a subject: a celebrity one of them has never met, a compliment, a plan to get to know each other, then a rambling account of illegal status, no taxes, spaghetti, and a settlement down to about nine hundred dollars. "It's kind of why I called you" rewrites all of that. The dinner exists so one person can say "I'm pregnant" and "You're the father." The argument is about one instruction. One memory says the condom was skipped because the other person said not to wear it. The answer is flat: "I did not tell you not to wear a condom." "Just do it, already" is then redefined as "hurry up," not as permission to skip it. "Maybe I've reacted unfavorably" names a bad reaction in formal words. The person who said they are pregnant has not seen a doctor and is "not 100% sure." "I bet you're not pregnant" is the last word.

Theme

ParenthoodOne person says "I'm pregnant" and "You're the father," then asks the other to come to the gynecologist.
TrustTwo memories clash over whether anyone was told to skip the condom, and neither one is accepted.

発音のポイント

  • get a table — Let the end of get run straight into a.
  • very pretty — Tap once in the middle of pretty instead of two hard t sounds.
  • 'cause I don't — When you hear 'cause, leave the missing be off.
  • did not tell — Put the denial on did not and lighten the rest.
You know, I mean, I'm not poor or anything, but I eat a lot of spaghetti.

A softener before the real point: not poor, just a lot of spaghetti. It is how this person explains getting by with almost no money.

It's been almost 10 years. I have like 900 bucks left.

Nearly ten years after the payout, about nine hundred dollars is all that remains of it.

With a baby. You're the father.

A correction of the joke "With emotion?": the pregnancy is a baby, and the other person is told he is the father.

I did not tell you not to wear a condom.

A flat denial of the charge that this person ordered the condom left off. It answers "Because you told me not to."

I meant "do it" like "hurry up," like "Get fucking going!"

"Do it" is redefined as a demand to hurry, not as permission to skip the condom. The same idea is said once clean and once furious.

I'm a fucking inventor? I made a dick-skin condom?

Sarcastic refusal of the idea that a condom could be too thin to notice. The speaker did not invent a skin-like version.

このシーンについての質問

Why was this dinner called?

One speaker says it outright: "It's kind of why I called you." The next lines are "Here goes" and "I'm pregnant," then "With a baby. You're the father." The talk about work, a celebrity, and money comes before that, and is not offered as the reason.

Why are they fighting about a condom?

After the pregnancy news, one person says he was not wearing a condom because "you told me not to." The answer is "I did not tell you not to wear a condom," and that "Just do it, already" meant "hurry up." The fight is those two memories of the same night.

What is a dental dam in this argument?

A dental dam is a thin rubber sheet used during oral sex. In the argument it is only a guess: the person who was not wearing a condom says he assumed the other was wearing a patch, a dental dam, or a butterfly clip. Asked what it is, the reply compares it to Saran Wrap. He calls that disgusting and still says he thought the other person had one.

Is the pregnancy confirmed here?

No. The person who says "I'm pregnant" also says the doctor is next week. Asked if the doctor has already been seen, the answer is "No." Then: "I'm not 100% sure." The reply is "I bet you're not pregnant." This scene has the announcement and the doubt, not a result.

How is the settlement money described?

In high school the speaker "got ran over by a postal truck," and "It was my foot more than anything." The payout was "like 14 grand from the British Columbia government," and "that really lasted me." "It's been almost 10 years. I have like 900 bucks left." The speaker says "I'm not a mathematician," and thinks it is "another two years."
