(LOC: INT - BIRTHING POOL - DAY)
WE SEE A WOMAN IN A HOSPITAL GOWN IN THE CORNER OF WHAT WE ASSUME IS A BIRTHING POOL.
THAT IT IS A BIRTHING POOL IS SUGGESTED BY SET DRESSING, AND BY CAMERA ANGLES
A DOCTOR IS IN THE WATER WITH THE WOMAN, GIVING ENCOURAGEMENT.
DOCTOR
Come on, come on - nearly there! Now push!
WOMAN
Oh god!
DOCTOR
Good girl! Now keep pushing! Keep pushing!
A MAN APPEARS AT THE EDGE OF THE POOL. HE WEARS SHORTS AND A T SHIRT. HE HAS A
WHISTLE AROUND HIS NECK.
MAN
Oi! What do you think you're playing at!?
DOCTOR
This woman is giving birth the natural way. Why? Is there a problem?
MAN
Yeah - she's upsetting the other swimmers.
THE CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL THE DOCTOR AND THE WOMAN ARE IN THE CORNER OF A PUBLIC
SWIMMING POOL.
THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY A LIFEGUARD.
