Plot summary
Mollie Jensen, an accountant in New York City, has been having an affair with Albert, one of her clients, who is married. He assures her he will leave his wife Beth for her. In her ninth month, out shopping with her friend Rona, she catches Albert with yet another woman, Melissa. The stress brings on labor, and a taxi driver, James Ubriacco, speeds her through downtown traffic to the hospital, where he is mistaken for the father and stays to see the baby born. Mollie takes on single motherhood, raising Mikey with thoughts the audience alone can hear. James finds her again by way of the purse she left in his cab.
