It's sure. Scratch first says it can't be his, and he'll request
a blood test. At that point he understands that she has
recovered his semen test, and is utilizing this as a ploy to
keep him with her by impregnating herself. The strain heightens
and he snatches her and hammers her head against the divider,
calling her a cunt. She discloses to him she's a similar cunt he
went fell in love with. Also, she's the main cunt that made him

4. THE DIFFERENCE OF BOOK ACT 3 AND FILM ACT 3

 The difference of Book Act 3 and in the Film Act 3 is that in
the book it is stating all the resolution of the conflict and
in the film is just they get what is the most important part
of the story. I think that it much better in the Book.
