Dr. Mathison
- [Elijah's mother has just given birth to him in a '60s dress store; a doctor, Dr. Mathison has arrived to take care of her before the ambulance arrives]
- Dr. Mathison: Is there a name yet?
- Elijah's Mother: Elijah.
- [She hands him the wrapped child. We can't see the baby, but the piercing cries seem to get louder]
- Elijah's Mother: [almost laughing] Is he supposed to crying like that?
- [Elijah's mother can't see her baby anymore. She watches Dr. Mathison as he looks down and examines her child. Dr. Mathison doesn't look up for the longest time]
- Elijah's Mother: Can I have him back?
- Dr. Mathison: [looking at the saleswoman through the mirror] What happened during the delivery?
- Saleswoman: Nothing. It was very quick. The baby just wanted to come right out. There was no problems.
- Dr. Mathison: Did you drop him?
- Saleswoman: What?
- Dr. Mathison: Did you drop this baby?
- Saleswoman: [indignant] Jesus Christ, no.
- [the baby continues to scream]
- Dr. Mathison: [to the saleswoman] Inform the ambulance we have a... situation.
- [to Elijah's mother]
- Dr. Mathison: I've never seen... this. It appears that your infant has suffered some fractures while in your uterus.
- [beat]
- Dr. Mathison: His arms and legs are broken.
