Mark and Vanessa say that once they had a similar deal but the woman backed out... And later Mark says that everything happened too fast, that they put the ad on the newspaper and 2 weeks later they had Juno sitting in their couch. So when did the previous deal happen? In those 2 weeks?
shareThe previous deal happened, probably, way before they put their ad in the paper. They probably made the deal some other way.
shareI always got the impression that it was Mark who backed out -- as he did now -- because he didn't want to be a dad.
shareCame on here to find out the answer. Their conversation dies down, and then they mention "cold feet". Later in the movie Mark talks about having cold feet. I thought the audience was supposed to connect that it was him all along.
After all, she says if she waits for him she'll never be a mom, or something to that effect. Why say that if in the last deal it was the woman who backed out?
- I reply, and then I'm gone.
The script implies that a previous woman offered them her baby for adoption but got 'cold feet' and didn't go through with it.
