The conversation goes back and forth, going from drinking to sex, pregnancy, and eventually abortion. They are in disagreement about whether or not they should have an abortion because of how it would affect their futures; this argument includes references to marriage, children, society’s opinion on it, etc. Towards the end of their conversation, they agree that they should not have an abortion but instead that she should give up her plans for a future together so she can go back home where she enjoys.
They had always thought about the future together and now that they were about to have a baby, their dreams seemed within reach. But as the weeks went by, he could see that she was struggling. She would ask him how he felt on certain days, and when he would tell her, she would cry. He knew what he wanted for her, but it wasn't fair to make her stay in this country for him.
Introduction
The story of Hills Like White Elephants is a brief, one-act play about two people who have different opinions on an important issue. The man wants his girlfriend to get an abortion and the woman does not want to. They are at a train station in Spain waiting for a train that will take them out of town together.
We first see the conflict unfold when they discuss what they will do if the pregnant woman's mother would try to stop them from leaving town as she has done in the past. The man responds by saying he doesn't care what her mother thinks and he is going to do what he wants to do with his life no matter how much she hates him for it. The woman then reveals that her mother has already told her not to get an abortion.

A few days ago, I was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight when I noticed an elderly couple sitting across from me. They were casually talking to each other and didn’t seem to have any worries or concerns. It was at that moment that I realized that they were.
