Scenes
The pregnant Novalee (Natalie Portman) goes into the bathroom at a Wal-Mart. She jogs in place while nervously waiting for one of the stalls to become vacant, then goes in and moans in relief as she finally gets to pee. Only her feet are shown, and a little girl blocks out any pee sounds by running water in the sink and then yelling "Mommy!" in alarm at the sound of Novalee's moaning.
Novalee's water breaks in the store.
