[a few years ago, Hazel Joyce was an unmarried mother who had a baby at Esther Dunwoody's adoption clinic but decided not give him up for adoption; now she works for Esther and the two of them are doing a sales pitch to prospective adoptive parents]

Esther Dunwoody:
All our babies come with a clear biography and a clean bill of health. We want our adopters to have as much information as possible on which to base their choice. Hazel?

Hazel Joyce:
Just think of it like a bring-and-buy sale. We bring them. You buy them.

Esther Dunwoody:
Hazel...

Hazel Joyce:
You can choose your baby by eye colour, skin colour, fat, thin, or by parentage.

Esther Dunwoody:
No need for flippancy, Hazel.

Hazel Joyce:
Oh, sorry. I won't be flippant.

Hazel Joyce:
You can choose how your baby was conceived - back seat of a car, quickie in a bus stop.

Esther Dunwoody:
Right. That's enough. What's the matter with you.

Hazel Joyce:
Drunken night on the beach with a total stranger. My baby, for instance, was conceived when my uncle raped me at my cousin's wedding, in the middle of my second term at uni. Which is why, I suppose, Mrs Dunwoody has me in her book as "quite bright". Which compared to her, I am.

[Esther tries to usher the couple out of the room before they hear even more details that she would rather they didn't hear]
