00:00You're firing me. On what grounds?
00:01You were with a child.
00:03Yes, I am pregnant. That is correct.
00:05Has my correspondence slowed in the last month?
00:07Well, no.
00:08I'm not contagious. I do not have cholera.
00:10No one's going to catch having a baby from me.
00:12You know very well that women do not continue to work when they're pregnant.
00:15Pregnancy is a natural condition. It is how all human beings begin.
00:18It's explaining pregnancy to me?
00:20A fertilized zygote is 50% ovum and 50% sperm.
00:24Would the man be fired in this situation?
00:26That would be fair, correct?
00:27What man are you referring to?
00:28Any man, if an unwed woman gets pregnant, is the man who gets her pregnant responsible and therefore also fired.
00:35Would you fire Calvin?
00:36Of course not.
00:36Then you have no grounds to fire me.
00:38We have rules, Mrs. Ott.
00:40Not for this. I have read the employee handbook front to back.
00:43It's an unwritten rule.
00:44And thus, not legally binding.
