Dr. Edwards: Everyone stop. The mouse just escaped, and I’d only just got her pregnant.
Jean Purdy. Dr. Edwards? Jean Purdy. I’m here about the lab manager’s post.
Dr. Edwards: 8:00 a.m. Don’t be late. We have an obstetrician to catch.
[upbeat music playing]
Dr. Edwards: Mr. Steptoe will be an excellent member of our team.
Jean Purdy: This team which you’ve not yet explained to me.
Dr. Edwards: Oh, we’re going to help make babies. I’ve shocked you.
Woman 1: Making babies in test tubes?!
Dr. Steptoe: You truly believe you can do that?
Dr. Edwards: We’re making the impossible possible. We are. You’ll see.
[clock ticking]
[pensive music playing]
Dr. Steptoe: You’re aware we will unite the world against us?
Paparazzo: Dr. Frankenstein!
Woman 2: What you’re doing, it’s disgusting.
Person in crowd: It’s wrong!
Jean Purdy: I’m helping people, Mum.
Woman 1: Doesn’t make it right.

Woman 3: Is it in the interest of science?
Dr. Steptoe: Yes.
Dr. Edwards: Infertility is a scientific problem.
Man 3: That only affects a very small number of women.
Jean Purdy: “Small number”?

Jean Purdy: Women presume we can have children. There is a biological and social expectation. Nothing can make that absence worse.
Dr. Steptoe: I’m very sorry.
Jean Purdy: But we have the possibility of making it better.
♪ Do whatever, just open your eyes ♪
Jean Purdy: There have been women here before you.
Woman 4: I just want a baby.
Jean Purdy: And there will be women here after you. But without you, none of this works.

Jean Purdy: Wait.
Dr. Edwards: What? Why?
Jean Purdy: It’s a first, that’s all.
Dr. Edwards: First of many.
♪ I’ve been waiting all my life ♪ Dawn is coming open your eyes ♪ Dawn is coming open your eyes ♪ Dawn is coming open your eyes ♪
Dr. Steptoe: I dislike having to decide who will get help and who will not. But what we’re doing, it matters.
