Lena Dunham says Maureen got pregnant?


So I'm watching Jimmy Fallon where he and Lena Dunham are talking about Man in the Moon, a big fav of both, when Dunham says Maureen got pregnant... Fallon doesn't correct her so I was like 'Wtf? I've seen this mivie at least 5 times and I never got that' Thoughts, anyone?

Although the sex scene leaves the possibility open, there's nothing beyond that to indicate that she was pregnant.

Yes... I was totally thrown when lena said that! but in the woods after they hook up, maureen is getting up and says, "what are we going to do?" but she's very happy, not freaking out. back in those days - all the way up to now - if a girl is unexpectedly pregnant she's freaking the freak out! but i noticed a ring on her finger this time.. maybe they had just gotten engaged?

Lena Dunham says a lot of strange things.

I didn't see that interview, but what is strange is I had a memory of this film & thought Maureen had gotten pregnant!
Then, I watched it again years later & I was completely wrong. I have no idea why I have that memory of her being pregnant.

As for what Maureen meant when she asked Court what they were 'going to do', she meant how were they going to deal with telling Dani & everyone else about their relationship.
