[Elijah's mother has just given birth to him in a '60s dress store; an African-American doctor, Dr. Mathison has arrived to take care of her before the ambulance arrives] Dr. Mathison:
Is there a name yet? Elijah's Mother:
Elijah. [She hands him the wrapped child. We can't see The baby, but the piercing cries seem to get louder] Elijah's Mother:
[almost laughing]
Is he supposed to crying like that? [Elijah's mother can't see her baby anymore. She watches Dr. Mathison as he looks down and examines her child. Dr. Mathison doesn't look up for the longest time] Elijah's Mother:
Can I have him back? Dr. Mathison:
[looking at the saleswoman through the mirror]
What happened during the delivery? Saleswoman:
Nothing. It was very quick. The baby just wanted to come right out. There was no problems. Dr. Mathison:
Did you drop him? Saleswoman:
What? Dr. Mathison:

Jesus Christ, no. [The baby continues to scream] Dr. Mathison:
