"Previously on The Secret Life of the American Teenager" "You're in love again." "Who is it this time?" "I had my heart set on Amy and our baby." "Where are you going in that getup?" "That's what you call this?" "A getup?" "Job interview?" "Must be a case of the nerves, so it is a job interview." "I think we go to the same school, my name's Thomas." "I can get away with anything because my sister's pregnant." "My parent's gave me birth control pills." "Your parents let you go on the pill?" "I'm not on it, I just have them." "How can I be what's best for the baby?" "Because you'ust's best for the baby's mother." "I asked you out, you said, "Yes."" "And I wanna go out." "I want you to be careful not to hurt my sister." "She's all I got." "My foster mother, Margaret, she's their social worker." "They took me in when I don't think anyone else would have." "Everyone's afraid of older boys." "Especially with troubled pasts and crazy drug-addict parents." "You know what?" "I'm not crazy about an open adoption." "I want our foster kids back." "I don't think that Ricky's ever gonna let us adopt that baby either." "I have no intention of sharing you with Ricky." "Soo who do you love, Amy?" "Oh, boy." "Mama's got on her power suit again." "Just because you have a pregnant teenage daughter doesn't mean you can be a governor, my lady." "Give it up, George." "I am going to get a job, and when I get a job," "I'm gonna proceed with the divorce, and you are going to be moving." "Well, I hope it's a really big job, because I wanna get a really big house." "Ooh, the sweet smell of alimony." " Hello?" " Hi." "Is Ashley there, please?" "May I ask who's calling?" " Don't do that." " Shh!" " Thomas." " Thomas?" "Okay, let me see if I can find her." "Thomas?" "Ashley!" "There's someone on the phone for you!" " She can't hear that." " Ashley, phone!" "I'm sorry Thomas, but can I have her call you back?" " Yes, thank you." " Does she have your number?" "I believe she does." "I told you, I can't away with anything right now." "The closer it gets to the baby's arrival, the more invisible I get." "And is that your doing or your family's?" " Your invisibility?" " Mine." "Ashley left a half hour ago." "She took the bus." "No one told me." "No one tells me anything around here anymore." "It's lonely at the top, governor." "That's your oldest daughter, Amy." "She's here, and she needs a ride to school." "So, Amy, it's back to looking for a job, huh?" "Are you talking about you or me?" "Both of us." "If you don't have a family to adopt the baby, you need to get a job, and without your father, I need to get a job too." "You know, I think we could get some help." "Help?" "Yeah, u know, from the government?" "Amy, don't be ridiculous." "You don't need to get help from the government." " We can take care of ourselves." " Mom." "We can both get a job if we try." "I've been trying, but I can try a little harder." "And Amy, you can try harder too." "Honestly, Mom, I don't think I can get a job, and I'm not so sure you could either." "Well, I'm sure that we can." "We just need to keep looking." "And while we're looking, we can look for another couple to adopt the baby." "There are plenty of couples out there who are looking to adopt, it's just a matter of finding the right one." "Mom, I don't think I chithrough that again" "I can't believe Donovan andWell," "Well they did't." "That's how it is." "Well, maybe they'll change their minds." "Yeah, and maybe I'll be governor, but in the meantime, we need to find work." "It's not gonna happen." "I'm not qualified to do anything, and I don't know what you're qualified to do." "Well, I don't know either, but there's gotta be something." "We just have to be willing to take any job." "Any honest job that we can get, because you know it's always easier to get a job when you already have a job." "So we'll just take the first one that comes along and we'll go from there." "Mom,I don't want a job." "Amy, Woman up, okay?" "Come on, let's go." "Let's get out there, let's do the right thing." "Let's be responsible." "Mom, I'm tired." "And I have school, I don't want to be responsible." "Did I mention that I'm tired?" "I had a short stint as a cocktail waitress." "Made pretty good money but I got busted on the age thing." "Exactly how old are you, Ashley?" "Seventeen." "You're in middle school, so you're not 17." "Unless you're really, really stupid, and you're not stupid." "I thought you said you went to my school." "No, I saw you get off the bus at your school." "I lied." "Now's the time you're supposed to stop staring at me because my staring at you bothers you." "I'm not in middle school, baby." "And I'm fascinated by your lips." "Heh." "You're an idiot." "Yeah maybe." "I'm home schooled, and my parents are very good teachers." "Well, you lucky guy." "How did you get that?" "I don't get along well with others." "Me neither." "I know, I saw you on the bus." "So I'm just gonna cut to the chase." "Can I come over to your house tonight?" "I don't know." " How old are you?" " Uh, 15." "I'll think about it." "Give me your number." "Got to be something here I have more pens." "The Secret Life of the American Teenager S01EP19" "Capture:" "FRM@zx Sync:" "FRS@ÓãÁ½Á½" "Although I didn't finish college, when i drop out at a 3.8 average in business management." "And let's face it, as a mom of 16 years, I have tons of experience in handling money and working on a budget and time management." "Time management, that's a big one." "I'm really good at that." "And, uh, I'm also a multitasker." "Do you speak Spanish?" "I speak French." "And a little Greek." "No Spanish?" "Un poquito." " So no Spainish." " Si." " The cook only speaks Spanish." " I'll learn Spanish." "I love hot dogs, I love working?" "I really want this job." "You, with the 3.8 and the suit, you want this job?" "Yeah, I really want this job." "I've been looking for quite a while now and it seems that no one sees my potential." "Oh, I see your potential." "I plan on going back to school, but with this economy it's really hard to find part-time work." "So I figure this could a place as any to start." "I'll work really hard, and I'm totally flexible with my hours." "Flexible, huh?" "Husband leave you?" "I wish." "But we are getting a divorce, so I'm reentering the work force, so to speak." " It's not easy." " Not if you don't speak Spanish." "And hey, this is not the work force." "We feed the work force." "How old are you?" "You can't ask me that." "You brought up the personal stuff, divorce and all that" "How old are you is not a job-intew question, it's a personal question, me to you, man to woman." "Then I'm 29." "I've been out with women over 29." " Natural redhead?" " What?" "Your hair?" "Put something on it?" "No." "All right then, you're hired." "I like women who don't have a problem with lying." "These, uh" "These aren't all-beef hot dogs, you know?" "I'll need an assistant." "An assistant.You know someone who speaks spanish." "No, you don't need an assistant" "You just serve the dogs, it's not that tough" "I'm pretty sure if I call the labor relations department and tell them about this little job interview you could lose your business license." "That's hot." "Say it again." "You could lose your business license." "You could." "Okay, it's not your mother, is it?" "No, it's my daughter." "Daughter, huh?" "Sold." "Yeah, minimum wage for the both of yous." "Cool." "And don't tell the cook." "He thinks he's in training for another job at the mall." "Gotta go." "I got other Hot Dog Huts, babe." "But believe me, I'll be checkin' in on you, if you know what I mean." "Oh, and no free dogs." "Fernando!" "[spanish] [spanish] [spanish] [spanish]" "Hello, miss." "Oh, hey, Amy." "Hi, Jack." "You look like you could use some perking up." "Would you like a chocolate bar?" "Yeah." "All right, we got plain, caramel, nougat, dark chocolate, milk chocolate" "Wait, you're selling candy bars?" "Yeah, The kid I'm mentoring, Duncan, he's selling candy bars for disadvantaged youth." " Isn't he disadvantaged?" " Yeah." "I guess That's why he's raising money for disadvantaged kids." "Have a heart." "Or better yet, have a fudge supreme." " How much?" " Five bucks." "For a candy bar that I can get for a buck 50 in the grocery store?" "It's for the youth." "Ben?" "I'm at theCRhe stairs by the water machine." "Where are you?" "I need something" "Oh, I'm right here." "Hey,J" " I need $5." " Oh, sure." " Jack's selling candy bars.y" " You want one too?" "For 5 bucks?" "That's a little steep." "It's disadvantage youth." "The kid I'm mentoring is selling them." "You're selling them." "So how is he Learning anything?" "He's learning that he can rely on me for help." "In that case I'll take four." "Thanks." "Here you go." "And, hey, when the band's selling wrapping paper," "I'll help you out." "Oh, that's over." "Next year then." "Thank you." "You know, why can't I do that?" "What?" "Sell candy bars?" "No, get money from someone who's selling candy bars." "Is your mom on you about getting a job again?" "Yeah." "Maybe you should just make the effort to apply for some jobs." "That you're willing to do whatever it takes to take care of the baby." "just like she's getting a job to help take care of you and Ashley." "You know what would be supportive?" "If you said, "You shouldn't have to work, Amy." "you've already been through enough, your mom and dad should take care of you."" "They are taking care of you." "They're just trying to show you what it's like to take care of the baby." "And you can do it." "I know I can do it." "I don't want to do it." "I'm having a baby, I don't wanna get a job." "Well, what do you want to do, Amy?" "Do you want to find another couple to adopt the baby?" "You should date my mother." "That would have been so much more oown gotten up on my own." "See you." "So you two made up, huh?" "Did Amy tell you that?" "Oh, let's not be so insecure, rich boy." "At least not so obviously insecure." "I don't have anything to be insecure about." "When the time is right I'm legally gonna marry Amy and spend rest of my life with her on her side." "Or if you find another couple to a the baby" "Then I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Amy and visit your son." "So which one will after, Ricky?" "Amy or the baby?" "Both." "Grace, that I know when women go on the pill, they crave chocolate." "I'm not on the pill, I have the pill, but i'm not on it." "And how do you suddenly know so much about birth control pills, Jack" "I don't, really, I'm just trying to make a sales pitch" "I'm helping Duncan sell candy bars." "You're raising money for Duncan?" "No, he's raising money for disadvantaged youth." "Oh, that's so nice." "Especially since he's disadvantaged." " How much are they?" " Five dollars." "Ha." "For one?" "Jack, I can't pay $5 for a candy bar, even it is for disadvantaged youth." "But I can help you sell them." "I'm kinda popular right now." "And besides, that's what Christians do, right?" "They help each other when they need help." "Yeah, okay." "I'll take you up on that offer." "Thanks, Grace." "No, no, no, I can do it." "Okay." "Now, by "it,"" "I hope you mean sell candy bars." "Hey, girlfriend." "Oh." "Hi, Grace." "What's that?" "This is an opportunity to help the disadvantaged youth." "Oh, jeez." "That's not those giant candy bars, is it?" "I'm selling those for the majorettes to go to Washington D.C. next year." "Well, I'm selling them for kids who can't even dream of going to Washington D.C." "Oh, you're good." "But no thanks." "How much you selling them for anyway?" "Five dollars." "We're selling ours for 2.50." "You're majorettes." "These are disadvantaged youth." "Who can't even dream of being majorettes." "Yeah, yeah." "I'm still not paying you 5 bucks for a candy bar." "Okay, 2.50 for half?" "Nope." "Do you wanna help me sell them?" "No, I'm not even trying to sell mine." "I need you to do something for me." "Do you think I could fit into that pink cashmere sweater that you have?" "Sure." "You wanna borrow my sweater?" "Yeah, if you don't mind." "No." "I'm trying to get my brother to have sex with me and I thought I'd have a better shot if I looked more innocent." "He's trying to court me, and, well, I don't have any courting clothes." "That's good he's trying to court you." "That'll give you a chance to act like a lady." "You know, ladies have sex." "No, not until they're married." "That wouldn't be a lady, that would be a..." "Me?" "Oh, oh, Adrian, I have such a good idea." "You should become a virgin again." " A what?" " Yeah." "You know, set the odometer back to zero." "Ha." "Okay, one, no you can't." "And two, I'm not a car, and I don't like car analogies or jokes made about riding me or riding on me or" "Adrian!" "You're a lady now." "And I would never say those things about you." "You're my friend, and you could be my new virgin friend." "Imagine how much your brother would like that, you reclaiming your virginity." "And, you know, while you're at it, you could tone down the lip gloss a little bit." "Okay, watch how attracted guys are to the idea of having sex with a virgin." "Does anybody want to help me out and buy a candy bar for the disadvantaged youth?" "Oh, yeah." " I do." " I do." "Awesome." "Five dollars." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thanks, boys." "Oh, thanks." "Oh, thank you." "Bye." "Hey, so, uh, who's your second choice if you don't get Amy, and/or the baby?" "I know you're used to getting what you want." "Let's just say this time you don't?" "Who are you gonna go after?" "Adrian?" "Oh, that's right, Adrian's in love with her brother right now." "So what about Grace?" "Grace isn't gonna marry you." "She's probably gonna become a doctor, she'll probably marry a doctor." "She's a doctor's daughter, so a little out of your league, don't you think?" "Oh, and by the way, if you and Amy don't find a couple to adopt the baby, you're gonna be paying child support for the next 18 years." "How are you gonna do that?" "You don't just get to call yourself the daddy without being financially responsible for the child." "Think about that." "Child support every month for the next 18 years." "So if you're just using the baby as a way to get to Amy, just keep in mind that it's gonna cost you." "But you know that, right?" "You shouldn't take things that you can't pay for, Ricky." "It wasn't Ricky." "Then who was it?" "George, I'm sorry if we disappointed you and Anne and Amy, but" "Who said you disappointed me?" "I just wanna know what happened." "When we were gonna give the baby away then I was happy u r gonna take it but if you're not gonna take him, we're not gonna give the baby away." "George, that is so sweet." "No, I mean it." "It's late in the game." "It's too late to get to know anyone well to know if they should be parenting my grandson." "So who was it?" "It wasn't Ricky?" "Well..." "I knew it." "It wasn't Ricky exactly." "It's all the Rickys who need parents." "These children present challenges, but what children don't?" "We still want them." "Why?" "Why are you taking on someone else's problems when you won't take on ours?" "George, this is kind of difficult to explain to you." "It's all about acceptance." "Loving the imperfect makes us accept and love our own imperfections." "Damn." "You made me cry." "You know, Anne is imperfect, and I love her, I" "This divorce is killing me." "Did you get the house?" "I'm still waiting on the loan." "I should not have eaten those four candy bars." "You'll be fine." "Yeah, I just need to go home and take a nap." "Oh, hey, there you are." "What are you doing inside the school and not outside?" "Hi, Ben." "Hi, Ms. Juergens." "How are you?" "I'm terrific." "I got a job today." "You're kidding me?" "No, I'm not kidding you." "And they like me so much that they're letting me have an assistant." "You speak Spanish, right?" "Right." "Okay, well, we better go." "Because we start at 3:30." "We start what at 3:30?" "Our job." "Come on let's go, I'll tell you about it in the car." "Mom, I've had a really long day." "I just ate four $5 chocolate bars, and I don't feel too well." "Maybe we could start tomorrow." "Twenty dollars worth of chocolate?" "You're gonna have to work at least three hours for that." "Maybe more, if you factor in taxes." "Why do I get the feeling that this is not the job that I want?" "It's a job that pays." "That's what you want, right?" "And it's a start." "Plus, we'll be working together." "Won't that be fun?" "Hm, what will be fun?" "Come on." "See you, Ben." "Uh, bye." "That'll be 2.75." "There you go." "Could I have, uh, two dimes and a nickel?" "Sure." "Those are full of nitrates, just so you know." "I know, and I don't care." "Tasty nitrates." "Bon appetit." "What can I get for you?" "Couple of hot dogs with mustard, ketchup and grilled onions." "Two cry babies with a shot of red and yellow." "[IN SPANISH]" "[IN SPANISH]" "[IN SPANISH]" "[IN SPANISH]" "[IN SPANISH]" "You have hamburgers?" "No, we have hot dogs." "And soda, and water." "And that's it." " Oh, and chips." " What about nachos?" " Nope." " Kabobs?" "I can cut up a hot dog and put it on a stick for you." "I don't want that, I want a kabob." " What kind of place is this?" " American." "Oh, then I'll have the hamburger." "We don't have hamburgers." "Then you're not American." "Are you sure you don't want try the hot dogs?" "They're really very tasty." "All right, all right." "Give me a hot dog." "Plain." "One naked dog." "[IN SPANISH]" "No, she's just trying to teach me a lesson." "Oops, did I say that in English?" "Where are my cry babies?" "Thank you." "Come on, Amy, get with it, girl." "If you don't have the job you want, you want the job you have." "Hm." "Who's got the dogs with onions?" "There you go, sir." "She didn't tell you what kind of job?" "She didn't even tell me she had a job." "You told me when you picked me up from school, if you recall." "What kind of job could she and Amy have together?" "I'm sure I don't know." "But I guess she has a job, she can keep the baby, right?" "Don't be ridiculous, pumpkin." "We have enough money for Amy to keep the baby." "I just can't tell your mother that." "Couldn't you tell Amy?" "No, because she'd tell your mother." "How many times have we told Amy things and told her not to tell your mother and then she's told your mother?" "So we're better off for her to have a job she doesn't want, to pay for a baby she doesn't want, that she's having with a guy she doesn't want?" "You got it." "That's what we want." "All right." "Father knows best." "Hey, can I have a friend come over?" "You can have whatever you want." "An imaginary friend or is this the guy with the dead dog?" "It's that guy." "Yeah, he looked all right." "I'll be in the garage." "Don't get pregnant." "Unless you want a job you don't want." "Practice!" "Practice, people!" "That's you, Boykewich." "Pfft." "You are not a percussionist." "Yeah, I'm not an athlete either, so I figure I'll just stay here for the rest of the year so I don't have to take P.E." "How do you do it?" "How do you do something you're bad at every day?" "I've been doing it all my life." "I played tennis." "I'm no good at tennis." "I tried golf, baseball, basketball, basket weaving." "I'm no good at any of it." "And I can't really dance, can't really sing." "None of it bothers me." "What bothers me, however, is your close proximity." "And just know that if you plan on hitting me," "I'm no good at fighting either." "But I do have money." "Yeah, so you win, and I lose, I guess." "What?" "I just came here to concede." "You were right." "I don't have money so I probably would not make the best father for the baby, or the best husband for Amy." "You know maybe Amy went back with you because the adoption fell through." "Maybe she's just looking for security." "Yeah, or maybe she just loves me." "Pfft." "She loves your money anyway." "She loves the idea of not having to worry about our son's future." "So you and Amy have a nice life with my son." "A nice comfortable life." "You win, Ben." "Thank you for inviting me into your home today, Grace." "I like to know what's going on with the young people, with teens." "I'm the father of a teen myself." "I think you both know Jack." "Oh, that's right." "You're Jack's dad." "I forgot about that." "He doesn't know anything." "But I'm always willing to learn." "Is this regarding Jack?" "No." "Oh, good, heh." "Made me nervousthere for a second." "So, what is this about?" "We need you to restore her virginity." " But not because of Jack, right?" " Right." "I've made a few mistakes." "Maybe even more than a few." "Although I don't like to think of sex as a mistake, it's just that I want my virginity back." "Well, let me go out to my car and I'll wave my magic wand over you and abracadabra, you're restored." "Uh, just joking." "Oh, ha-ha-ha." "He's so funny, isn't he?" "Yeah." "Hysterical." "Well, actually no one has ever asked me to do this before." "I've never done this so I suppose the theory is that with God's forgiveness for what you've done in the past, and God forgives everything, you can always start over." "No matter what you've done." "So, Adrian, if you just ask for God's forgiveness for your sexual transgressions, you have that forgiveness." "You are a virgin again." "Well, spiritually, not physically, of course." "Of course." " Are you, uh, Catholic?" " Why?" "Well, this is the nature of the confessional, is it not?" "You, each week you confess, and then you are forgiven and you start over." "Yeah, if you confess week to week." "I think this is our opportunity to win her over to our team, isn't it, reverend?" "I don't do that." "I don't steal sheep from other pastures." "Now, if they wanna wander over to our land," "I'm happy to shepherd them." "Of course, this is not about our church doctrine, or your church's doctrine." "This is about you and God, this is about your life, this is about your beliefs." "If you wanna be forgiven, and commit to a life of abstinence and purity, then do it, Adrian." "But I do think that once you make a promise to God, that promise is a real commitment, you don't just say it to say it, you know what I mean?" "Yeah." "I know what you mean." "So think about it." "And if that's what you want, ask for God to forgive you." "Whether you do that by yourself or with my help, or the help of someone else, and you are on the way to a new beginning." "Thank you so much, Reverend Stone." "I'm just gonna run upstairs and get my pink sweater." "Mm-hm." "Aren't you the girl who broke up Jack and Grace?" "Not anymore." "Okay, I'm okay..." "Okay." "All right." "Okay, I'm okay, I'm okay." "Hi, yeah, uh, I just got mugged." "Uh, I was getting out of my car and" "No, no, I'm not hurt." "I'm at" "No, no, they didn't have a gun." "I don't know, it was my candy bar money." "I don't know, I can't think!" "I was just mugged!" "Two hundred dollars, about 200" "Hey, that's money for disadvantaged youth!" "You have a urinal in your garage?" "Not to worry, we have indoor plumbing too." "Come on in." "So that was your dad out there?" "He lives out there?" "Yep." "Sit down." "Make yourself at home." "Oh, so I brought you something." "Wow." "You're a teenage alcoholic, huh?" "No." "It's for your parents." "Oh, okay." "Thanks." "Red." "No refrigerator, right?" "Right." "So aspartame?" "I hate small talk." "Government conspiracy." "Global warming?" "Also government conspiracy." "Really?" "Well, if they get everyone concerned about global warming, no one will pay attention to the fact that there's still large scale animal testing." "Interesting." "You know that the presidency is bought and paid for by the cosmetics industry." "I better look that one up at the library." "So they can't trace it." "Are we expecting someone?" " Hello, Ben." " Benny." "Thomas here." "How can we help you?" "He said how can we help you, Ben?" "I brought this for Amy, it's just a gift." "Hey there, bus-stop boy, how's it hangin'?" "Good afternoon, sir." "Benjamin." "Hi, Mr. Juergens." "I brought this for Amy." "When she gets home from work, there will be a little treat waiting for her." "That Amy." " I hope she's okay with this job." " Yeah." "I mean it's really good that she got something, it's good that Anne got something." "But, this?" "I mean, come on." "I'm so glad you said that." "We're in complete agreement." "I hate that either one of them has to work at the Hot Dog Hut." "But it's a job." "It's an honest job, and people love hot dogs, and although they're not Boykewich hot dogs, I've" "I've heard that they're not too bad." "You know, we were thinking, Ashley and me and this guy here, we were thinking about going and having dinner with Anne and Amy." "You wanna go?" "You know where they are exactly?" "Yeah, but when I spoke with Amy, she said she didn't want any us to come down there." "That Amy." "She probably wants to focus on work." "I'm sure she can take a break, it'll be fine." "Yeah, all right, if you say so." "Let's go, my dad's in the car." "Hold on, I wanna get my camera." "I'll be waiting in the car." "I don't guess we're allowed to stay in the house alone." "If we walk into the kitchen right now, he won't miss us." "Invisible, remember?" "Oh, yeah." "Give me your sneakers." "Wha--?" " Thanks, dude." " Thanks." "I'll buy those back from you." "Here." "All right, what you got, man?" "We're gonna give you a three-second head start." "Three sec--?" " One..." " Okay." " Two." " Pebble!" "Pebble!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "We're just joking, having fun, come back." " Really?" " Yeah." "All right." "What, you think your shoes are cooler than ours?" "Let me answer that for you:" "No." "We don't want your shoes, man." "Thank you." "And what are you running from?" "I'm trying to catch the guy who stole my candy bar money." "Wait a minute, you're not, um..." "You don't know a kid named Duncan, do you?" "Yeah, I'm his mentor." " What?" " Duncan pulled that $2 candy bar scam on you?" "It's not a scam." "They're for disadvantaged youth." "And those are $5 bars." "Wait, wait." "You didn't get with Shawna, did you?" "Look, man, Duncan is not in favor of anybody, whether white, black, brown, male, or female, having a sexual relationship with his sister." "And it's not about race, it's about a simple matter of Duncan doing what he can do to protect Shawna to ensure that she is never hurt, emotionally or physically." "Thus, the ruse of staging a fake robbery to perhaps scare you off, or just let you know that Duncan is on to you and will be watching you for the duration of your relationship with Shawna." "Or your relationship with Duncan, whichever lasts longer." "Huh?" "Psych major." "A fake robbery?" "You are chasing Duncan." "You know that, right?" "You need a ride?" "Yeah, actually I do." "Thank you." "Oh, I wasn't expecting you." "And I wasn't expecting to see you wearing Grace's sweater and a pearl necklace." "Can I come in?" "I'm expecting someone." "Your brother?" "Maybe." "You can't sleep with your brother, Adrian." "I'm not planning on it." "I'm not planning on having sex again until I'm married." "I'm sorry, did I walk in on fantasy night?" "Is this some sort of role play?" "I'm thinking about reclaiming my virginity." "How do you do that?" " You wouldn't understand." " Try me." "Maybe I'd like to reclaim my virginity with you." "Does it involve sex?" "Because I'm needing some sex, Adrian." "I've had a hard day." "So you've come over here for me to make it all better by having sex with you?" " Yeah." " No." "I'm not doing that anymore." "You don't make a good tease, Adrian." "I'm not teasing." "I'm serious." "You can't reclaim your virginity, don't be ridiculous." "You are who you are, Adrian." "You can't rewrap the gift." "It's been given, many times." "It doesn't matter." "I'm starting over." "Great." "Start over with me." "I'll be your first." "I don't know." "I don't know if I want you to be my first." "Hey." "Good night." "Good night, nice meeting you." "Sorry, that was my old boyfriend Ricky." "He just dropped by." "No explanation necessary." "We're not exclusive." "This is for you." "Remember when you said you wanted a teddy bear for Christmas and didn't tell anyone because you were scared you wouldn't get it?" "You actually listen to what I'm saying?" "Yeah, you say interesting things." " Anyway, there's your teddy bear." " I love it." "Good." "I'm a virgin." "See, that's interesting that you would say that." "Because before, you told me you were not a virgin." "Okay, well, I'm thinking about becoming a virgin." "See, I'm thinking about asking God to forgive me for having sex, and then promising not to have sex again until I'm married." "You think God cares about that?" "More importantly, do you?" "No, I don't care." "I was thinking that this is our third date so, you know, if you wanna take that next step, and have sex..." "So the courting is over?" "Because I really like the courting." "I" " I like the teddy bear." "I like the flowers, and I like dating." "I like you." "I like you too." "Would you still like me if we had sex?" "I'd probably like you a lot." "Look, let's talk about this." "About what?" "Let's talk about sex." "Birth control, past partners." " Ricky." " Why?" "Because we should talk before we have sex." "Again, why?" "Because there's just some business we should get out of the way before we get into a relationship." "Sexual relationship or relationship relationship?" "Isn't sex part of a relationship?" "I am so confused." "Uh, maybe it's this sweater." "Maybe it's like those traveling pants." "Let's go get a bite to eat and talk." " Have you had dinner yet?" " No." "It's okay, Adrian, it's okay." "Virgin, or not a virgin, it's okay." "No, Dad, I'm not upset." "I really don't care." "No, we don't want hot dogs, I made something here." "Thomas." "All right, bye." "Here's that thing that I was talking about." "The same corporation that produces the aluminum cans owns the recycling plant, so what we're actually doing is helping them to resell us what we already paid for." "I would be upset but you gotta admit, that's pretty smart." "And a nickel on every can goes to no-kill shelters." "Yeah, but they charge 250 bucks for rescued dogs." "Yeah, I went there." "That's crazy." "Thanks, hon." "Anytime." "Cheers." "So how was your day?" "School sucks." "Oh, I'm sorry." "This is delicious." "It's nice to have a home-cooked meal." "People don't do this enough." "Dinner with the family." "Yeah, then again, we're not family." "How old are you really?" "I'm 13." "I knew it." "There you go." "How much longer you guys working tonight?" "Should be finished in an hour." "Unless the boss says otherwise." "We got an inspector coming tomorrow." "Well, good luck with that." " Good night." " Thanks." "Just one more hour, Amy." "And we will have completed our first day of work." "Another hour?" "Yes, another hour." "But you've made 50 bucks tonight." "Isn't that great?" "Anne?" "Hey!" "Look who's here!" " Oh, no." " Hi, Leo." "Hi, Ben." "Wanted to check out the competition." "How are the dogs?" "Why don't you order a couple and see?" "I'll do that, give me a couple of them, just mustard." "Ben?" "Oh, uh, just Amy, please." "Couple of yellow dogs and Amy, why don't you take a break?" "I should have taken French." "So how are you?" "I'm good." "So is George." "Hee-hee!" "Employee of the month!" "Make fun of me all you want, George, but I love working here." "I'll be over there with Amy" "No, wait." "Thanks." "There you go." " Keep the change." "Thank you." " Thanks." "Those dogs look good." "Can you make me one?" "You know how I like it." "Fernando, can you take a hot dog, split it down the middle, put it on the grill to brown it, and then take those onions and put it in the middle with just a little bit of ketchup?" "Coming right up." "What?" "What, miss?" "I thought you only spoke Spanish." "I thought your daughter needed a job." "Thanks, Fernando." "Gracias." " What, you speaking the language now?" " Maybe." "Maybe I'll learn Spanish if I work here long enough." " You're really gonna work here?" " I am working here." "And you know what?" "I love it." "What about your power suit, huh?" "Admit it, you can't get a job." " Not a real job." " This is a real job." " No, it isn't." " Yes, it is." " Admit it." "You need me." " No, I don't." " Here." " Read the grease on the wall, you're never gonna make it." "Next!" "Hi." "Can I just have a cup of coffee?" "Uh, you could, but all we have are these Styrofoam cups, and I hate those." "You wouldn't happen to have a coffee mug on you?" "I do in my car." "If you wanna go get it," "I'll brew a fresh pot of coffee for you." "That one's been in there a while." "You know, I've been coming to the Hot Dog Hut for a while and, uh, I've never seen you here before." "And I was gonna ask you what you're doing working here but I guess I found out." " Divorce, huh?" " Yep." " Is this your first day of work?" " Yeah, it is." "I looked around for a while, but, um, yeah, I've been home for 15 years so..." "This is the best I could do." "You know what?" "It's actually not so bad, it's kind of fun." "I'm the architect on the renovation across the street." "We're trying to transition into being a more green firm." "You wouldn't know anything about environmental supplies, or construction, or anything like that?" "No, but I didn't know anything about hot dogs till today." "You should give me a call." "We're looking for somebody to do research, manage vendor relationships, that kind of thing." "You should come see me, we should talk." "Okay." "I will." "Thanks." "Oh, wait, do you want that cup of coffee?" "Oh, I never really wanted a cup of coffee." "Call me." "Ah." "America." "But you don'havet to go back there." "You don't have to go back to work." "I'm gonna take care of you." " How?" " Amy, my dad is the Sausage King." "You don't have to be the hot dog girl." "I hate being the hot dog girl." "As if being pregnant at 15 isn't humiliating enough." "Like you said, your mom's just trying to teach you a lesson." "She's probably just trying to motivate you to find the right family for the baby." "You'd think that Ricky's mom would help out." "She's a social worker." "Oh, that's right." "She just lured Donovan and Leon away with those foster kids." "Probably because Ricky really doesn't want the baby adopted." "I don't care what Ricky wants." "He said he'd go along with whatever I said." "As it turns out, I think he's going along with what I said." "Ricky and I got into a couple of, heh, heated discussions today." " About?" " About the fact that he can't afford to pay child support and raise a baby for the next 18 years." "And that he should just back off and let you and me take care of the baby." "Amy, if you choose to keep the baby," "I can give your son the best of everything." "He's right." "No, he is not right." "Are you out of your mind, Benjamin?" "You don't have a dime." "I have dimes, you don't." "And what Anne is doing here is very admirable." "She's working hard at an honest job to get what she wants, and if you wanna be this baby's father, you should be willing to work hard too." "And even then, you may not end up rich." "It's not about being rich." "It's all about working." "Working is a good thing in and of itself." "I started out working at a butcher shop when I was 13 years old." "I worked my butt off to get what we have." "And if you love this girl, and you wanna take care of her son, you get your butt up and get in that kitchen and help her out." "And tomorrow start looking for a job, the way I told you to do weeks ago." "It's okay." "He'll come around, I'm the only child." "Right, got it." "Thanks, Dad." "Parents." "Butcher shop when he was 13." "It's the family butcher shop." "We still own it." "What?" "You don't have to help me out in there." "Amy, I'd do anything for you." "Anything but get a job." "I know, that was a joke." "I'll try to get something." " Kid's gonna drive me nuts." " That's a kid's job." "To bust your ass every single day." "He's a good kid, but if he thinks he's ready to be a father, he's got another thought coming." "I mean, if Amy wants to keep the baby, and he wants to be a part of her life, part of the baby's life, that's fine with me, I love both of 'em," "but he should work a little harder, a lot harder." "I had no idea Ben was this lazy." "He's nice, he's smart." "But man, is he lazy." "I'm gonna give him a job at that butcher shop where I started out." "Come on, let's go." "He can get a ride home from Anne and Amy." "Yeah." "Okay." "Hey, you wanna beat that guy up who was flirting with Anne on the way to the car?" "There was a guy flirting with Anne?" "You saw him." "Yeah, well, what are you gonna do, George?" "Come on." "Let's go."
