Not Pregnant.

I think that DuVall's character was not pregnant, that Louise lied to her and made her believe she was pregnant so she'd leave Carradine, and it was really all the Coke she was drinking that made her sick.

It just seems more believable. Honestly, I have no idea why, but it seems more like what would be going on "under" the surface.

Anybody else think this?

It's possible that all the Cola she drank made her feel ill, but then why'd Altman have so much fun with the sex scene? And why would pregnancy make her want to leave Carradine?
