Juno

[it is MINNESOTA]

Ellen Page: I better get some more Sunny D to fuel my rapid-fire teenage wisecracks. Oh, and to make myself pee so I can test if I’m preggers.

Dwight from the Office: Hi! My whole role is in the trailer! I say “home skillet” like kids these days do! You’re pregs, sister.

[she goes HOME and calls her friend on a HAMBURGER PHONE because she is QUIRKY]

Ellen Page: Dude, I’m pregnant.

BFF: Are you sure it’s not just a food baby ?* I am youthful and talk irreverently about everything, even pregnancy.

Ellen Page: Seriously. I’m getting an abortion.

[she goes to a CLINIC but it is SKETCH and the girl tries to give her a BOYSENBERRY condom, though she is already PREGGERS]

Ellen Page: AAAAAAA! I can’t do this.

BFF: DUDE! You should give it away!! People need babies ALL the TIME!

[they find a CUTE couple in the PENNYSAVER and decide to MEET them]

Ellen Page: So…I’m pregnant.

J.K. Simmons: As your father, and one of the best character actors today, I am disappointed in you.

Allison Janney: I am the most hilarious woman in the world, and your stepmother. This is outrageous. Let me say that one more time so you can hear the Minnesota accent: OUTRAYYYYGEOUS.

[they GO to the McMANSION of the CUTE COUPLE and look HILARIOUSLY out-of-place]

Jennifer Garner: Omigod, I want a baby sooooooooooooo bad!!!!!!

Jason Bateman: Meh.

Ellen Page: Wow, the wife was kind of boring, but the husband is SO COOL!

[they HANG OUT and talk about MUSIC and HORROR MOVIES and things start to seem WEIRD, but only a LITTLE, but definitely WEIRD]

Ultrasound technician: So…you’re giving this baby up for adoption. Good thing.

Allison Janney: Oh HELLLLLL no!! You do NOT talk to my stepdaughter that way.

Everyone: BURNNNNN!!!

Michael Cera: So…I’m the adorably awkward father of your baby, huh? Who would have thought it, with these girly legs of mine?

Ellen Page: Listen, why don’t you go out with someone else? I was just super bored that day we did it.

[he DOES and she gets MAD, to the strains of INDIE ROCK]

Ellen Page: Fine! I’ll just go hang out with that cool husband!

[she DOES and he is MODERATELY CREEPY to the strains of OLD INDIE ROCK]

Jason Bateman: I’m leaving my wife! How cool am I?!?!

Ellen Page: Hold on…I am starting to see that being responsible is actually cooler than I thought.

Jennifer Garner: Nooooooo!!! She has my baby in her belly!! COME BACK!!

[Ellen Page SOBS on the side of the ROAD and has an EPIPHANY, causing her to leave a NOTE on a JIFFY LUBE receipt for Jennifer Garner]

Ellen Page: So, listen, I’ve been all weird lately. Here’s hundreds of TicTacs to say I’m sorry in the most quirkiest, adorablest way EVER. You’re, like the coolest person I know, and you don’t even try.*

Michael Cera: I try really hard, actually.*

Disillusioned Mini-Hipsters: I totally feel that way!! I DO try!

[Ellen Page goes into LABOR and Michael Cera RUNS to the hospital in his TRACK UNIFORM in order to be the MOST ADORABLY AWKWARD]

Jennifer Garner: Hi. I’m here for my baby. Thanks for giving him to me.

Allison Janney: That baby looks good on you.

[Ellen Page and Michael Cera play GUITARS because they are INDIE ROCK and ADORABLE and AWKWARD…or is it ROCKWARD?]

Oh man. I've gone sufficiently native that I didn't even notice any accents.

And yeah, JK Simmons was totally awesome.

At least they didn't do the Fargo accents...

My entire extended family has those accents. It's...rough.

Yay! I noticed the accents! I even notice them when I talk to my parents! Yay for California! It's rubbing off on me a little bit!
