"? "The Secret Life Of The Amricen Teenager"..." " Wish me luck." " You have a good first day in New York." "Do you remember the other night when we had that conversation about Adrian?" "It's still her decision and none of our business." "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow I'm going to have the abortion." "This wasn't an easy decision for me, but I've made the decision, so leave me alone." "I don't know what I want other than for Amy never to find out." "I think we should just tell your mom" "I'm living out here in the guest house with you until I find somewhere else." "That way, I can help you out." "I would've supported her decision either way." "No, we can't." "We can't, Ashley." "We can if we want." "Tom, I think we're high." "I think these are marijuana brownies." "Better not be." "If Adrian's dad's not going and her mom's just sitting there by herself, shouldn't you go?" "All I could do is just be there." "You and your mother are right." "This is your decision." "Feel free to change your mind." "I had to say it." "Ruben, it's me again." "Look, I really think you should call Adrian." "Let her know it's okay, Ruben." "And this is the last time I'm leaving a message." "Ruben, listen to me." "Hey, Janet." "I hate to bother you, but do you have that copy of the Wilson birth certificate?" "I need to finish this case up." "I think we're gonna be able to get them into court next week." "I have it right here waiting for you." "Oh, thank you." "Not a problem." "See you Tuesday." "Okay." "Hi." "I'm Ricky's mom, Margaret." "Aren't you..." "My mistake." "I thought I might know you, but it's the wrong place to be introducing myself." "I apologize for intruding." "I'm Adrian." "I thought so." "Nice meeting you." "I'm having an abortion." "You didn't have to tell me that." "I'm here because I have business here." "Ricky didn't mention anything about anything." "Oh, no, it's-- it's not Ricky's." "It's not?" "No, it's not." "Well, no matter who you're in this situation with," "I'm sorry." "I do counseling here sometimes, and I know this couldn't have been an easy decision." "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Is" " Is there " " Is there anyone here with you?" "Uh, my mom just went outside to call my dad." "He's" " He's not too happy about this." "Well, it's not a happy thing." "But you do what you wanna do, not what anyone else wants you to do." "My mom's completely supportive of my decision." "Good." "Good for her." "Because it can really be tough for a young woman to go through this without her mom." "What about you?" "Are you okay with your decision?" "Yeah." "Mmm." "I thought I was... until today." "I just" " I don't know if it's right." "For me, I mean." "I thought it was the right thing to do." "Now I don't know." "Maybe it's the wrong thing to do." "Let's go back to "want."" "What do you want to do, Adrian?" "Because you can do what you want, and no matter what you wanna do, it's okay." "I know what I don't wanna do." "I don't wanna be a teenage mother." "I" " I have goals." "I have plans." "I wanna go to law school." "I wanna" " I wanna do something with my life." "That's why I've always been so careful." "From the beginning, I've been careful." "This wasn't supposed to happen." "Yes, but it did." "And it does." "It happens." "You know, I did not know you wanna go to law school." "My mother was an attorney." "Family law." "That's what I wanna do-- practice family law." "My dad's a D.A." "I didn't know him growing up." "I just got to know him." "And he just married my mom." "Yes, I know." "We were hoping to be witnesses." "Yeah, well, I kind of made a mistake, and Ricky didn't wanna be at the wedding." "That mistake being Ben?" "I knew about that." "I just didn't know about this." "It's gonna be okay, Adrian." "Whatever you decide, it's gonna be okay." "But it looks as if you haven't decided." "I thought I had." ""Thought."" "There are some decisions you can reverse and some you can't." "This being one of those." "Talk to me." "Mrs. Ricky's Mother," "I don't know what I wanna do." "I don't know." "Okay." "I'm gonna go and find your mother, and then we'll all talk." "?" "T× Falling in love ?" "T×" "?" "T× Is such an easy thing to do ?" "T×" "?" "T× Birds can do it We can do it ?" "T×" "?" "T× Let's stop talking Let's get to it ?" "T×" "?" "T× Let's fall in love ?" "T×" "Hey, the rule of the house is knock." "What are you doing?" "That's for legs." "No, it's okay." "It's for anything with hair." " But you don't have hair." " I do on my face." "Well, then, get your own razor and leg cream." "No, I like this one." "Don't worry." "I'll get you another razor." "A dozen of them." "And some more of that leg stuff." "Okay, do that." "Ah, smells like rain." "So what are you doing up so early?" "Someone woke me up." "Ricky and John?" "Yep." "You two seem to be talking a lot lately." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "We were just talking about Adrian." "Today's the big day." "Today, huh?" "You're not going with her?" "Wait." "No." "Not a question." "You're not going with her." "You've been a good friend to her, but this is not something you can do with her." "I realize that." "All right, then." "Golf?" "You're a golfer?" "I mean, I had no idea." "I've always wanted to take up golf." "That's great." "It'd be great if we had a hobby together." "Well, we do have a hobby together." "But golf would be nice, too." "Yeah, sure." "I'll get you some clubs and some lessons." "Well, couldn't you teach me?" "I'm really not that good." "Well, then, we can be bad together." "I'm gonna go put on my skort." "Your what?" "You know, a skort." "It's a cross between a skirt and a pair of shorts." "It's, like, the perfect golf attire, and I look really cute in it." "Uh, Betty, I, uh..." "I kind of promised Ruben it would just be the two of us." "Well, maybe he can invite Cindy." "Unless, of course," "Cindy and Beand Adrian are together, and then Adrian's at that clinic, and then you and Ruben just wanna sit and hold hands and comfort each other while I'm left completely out of it." "Something like that." "I'll be back, okay?" "What, you're gonna just leave me here all alone in the house?" "You said just the other day you never have the house alone to yourself." "I know, but I don't wanna be alone today at the house." "I'm sad." "I wanted her to have that baby." "I know, Betty, but it was her decision." "And Ruben is really upset by this." "I just need to hang out with him." "Oh, all right." "Go get your skort." "I'll get the pro over there to get you some lessons." "All right." "You're not gonna be sorry." "I probably will be." "Oh, my God." "I'm too late, or I'm too early." "Anyway, I'm here." "And so is Ricky's mother." "What's going on?" "Nothing, Ben." "I didn't do it." "You mean, you didn't do it yet?" "I'm not going to do it." "Did Ricky's mother talk you out of it?" "No." "Ricky's mom was just here signing paperwork on an adoption or something, and we met." "And, yeah, she talked to me." "But she didn't try to talk me out of it or into it or anything." "She just talked to me." "I changed my mind." "I couldn't do it." "I can't do it." "I'm sorry." "You don't have to apologize to me, Adrian." "I came here to tell you that I'm here for you, no matter what." "Whether you have the baby or don't have the baby," "I'm here for you." "So, you changed your mind?" "You're having the baby?" "Yeah, Ben," "I'm having the baby." "Sweet." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I was looking for the right word." "Obviously I didn't find it." "There" "There are a lot of words in my head right now." "I just can't quite get a handle on the right one." "It's okay." "I don't know what to say either." "I'm as surprised as you are." "In" " In your surprise, there's no chance of going to reverse your decision and not have the baby?" "No." "All right." "Then...that's the way it's gonna be." "We are having a baby." "And you and I are gonna make the best of it." "She decided, and I don't think it was because of Ruben." "It's just what she feels in her own heart." "Why don't you go home and talk to Ruben?" "'Cause I don't feel like talking to him." "That's why." "Well, I'd invite you over, except Ricky's bringing John by this afternoon, so..." "Yeah, but I" " I should go home." "Do you have anyone you can talk to?" "A close friend?" "Not really." "Not yet anyway." "But it's okay." "I should just spend some time alone and let those two spend some time together." "She's gonna need you both-- you and Ruben." "All right." "I guess I'll see you around." "You have my card." "You can always call me." "And so can Adrian." "Thank you." "Thank God it wasn't Ricky." "Say hello." "Say hello to Mama." "No." "Is that Amy?" "Yes." "No, she's looking for Ben." "Morning, John." "It's me." "It's Mama." "Why are we doing this?" "Where's Ben?" "I'm not sure." "He might be with Adrian." "Text message." "Amy again?" "No, it's Adrian." "I'm not asking if she's okay." "I don't wanna know anything about any of that stuff." "Well, you might wanna know this." "She's decided to have the baby." "Because you weren't here when she called." "You couldn't tell her to call me on my cell?" "Well, Amy has your cell number, and she has your office number at the store and the store number." "I'm sure she'll call you." "She only called me because she couldn't get ahold of Ashley and Ricky, and she wanted to find out how John is." "John's fine." "How's Amy?" "She misses John, but she's fine." "Good." "I wonder what she's eating." "She's been to a coffee shop in her neighborhood for almost every meal." "I wish we had a coffee shop in our neighborhood." "I thought she had her own kitchen." "She does have her own kitchen, but she's still settling in." "She hasn't been to the grocery store yet." "I don't think she's found a grocery store yet." "You know where the grocery store is, right?" "I hope that's a cooking magazine." "It's not." "I'm reading an article on w the rain forest is disappearing." "Maybe hungry husbands are eating the trees." "You ever gonna cook again?" "I don't know." "What happened to the family dinners?" "I really thought that was a good idea." "Well, I did, too, and then Amy went away, and I thought, what's the point?" "Well, I'm home." "Ashley's home." "Ricky's home." "Well, he's here in this home anyway." "Well, it doesn't feel right without Amy." "What doesn't feel right about it?" "Well, I'm not hungry, okay?" "I'm starving." "You're eating." "It's a sandwich." "Do you remember you used to make me a sandwich when I'd come home for lunch?" "Now I'm home for lunch, and I'm eating my own bad sandwich." "I need some real food." "Well, it's Saturday." "I don't like to go to the market on Saturday." "It's too crowded." "I'll go tomorrow or on Monday." "Or the day after that." "Hi, Grandma." "Hi, Grandpa." "We're gonna go visit our other grandma and grandpa." "Okay." "See you later." "We'll eat dinner over there, just to let you know." "What are you having?" "Maybe I'll join you." "I'm sure that would be fine, if you wanna come." "No, he doesn't." "Oh, you can come, too." "And Ashley." "I'm sure it's fine." "No, we wouldn't dream of intruding on your dinner with your parents or on John's time with his other grandparents." "You go have a nice time." "We'll see you later." "Oh, say hi to your mom for me, okay?" "So she cooks-- your mother?" "I'm gonna go check on Robie." "Bye, John." "Bye, Ricky." "Bye to you, too." "Hey, why don't you pick up a pizza on the way home?" "What's up?" "What's up?" "Yeah." "Nothing." "Nothing with me anyway." "See you." "Who you looking for?" "The father of your sister's baby?" "He left with the baby." "You're in the clear." "No, I'm looking for Mom." "She's checking on Robie." "Aren't you supposed to be shopping?" "Come on." "I have to talk to you." "Outside where we can see if she comes back in." "What's going on?" "I have to get back to work." "You better sit down." "Oh, no." "Yeah, "oh, no."" "Oh, no, Ashley." "Please, please no." "I didn't do anything." "Oh." "Well, then, who did?" "Ben and Adrian." "Oh, I knew about that." "No, Mom, not that." "Everyone knows that." "Oh, no." "Are they..." "Is Adrian..." "Yeah, she is." "How long have you known this?" "Oh, please don't be angry with me." "I couldn't tell you." "I couldn't tell Amy, either." "I couldn't tell anyone." "And I thought Adrian was having an abortion, so it was no one's business, just Adrian's." "Is that why you stayed home from school with her that day?" "Well, I just went over there to get a ride, but she felt sick." "She had morning sickness, so I stayed home with her." "And she told you that she's getting an abortion?" "Oh, Ashley." "That's too big of a secret for you to have to keep." "You could've talked to me." "You could've told me about that." "No, I couldn't, Mom." "I really couldn't." "And Adrian was waiting for her mom to come home so she could tell her, and then she could go with her." "And so, there was really no reason to tell you or anyone else, so I didn't." "So that's why you encouraged Amy to go away, 'cause you were just hoping that this would go away." "Well, I think we all thought that going to New York would be a good thing for Amy, didn't we?" "So, Ashley, it's not Ricky's baby, right?" "It's Ben's." "Yep." "And she's sure about that" " Adrian?" "Yep." "And she's definitely getting the abortion?" "No." "She changed her mind." "Wow." "So she's having a baby." "Yep." "And Amy doesn't know anything about this?" "Nope." "Are you gonna tell Amy?" "No, I'm not." "I think Ben should tell her." "Why?" "Are you gonna tell Amy?" "Oh, Mom, you can't be the one to tell her." "You just can't." "It has to be Ben." "He has to do it, or else Amy will never forgive him." "Well, Ashley, I'm not so sure that she's ever gonna forgive him anyway." "Well, if you tell her, I may never forgive you." "And you know what?" "Neither will Amy." "Are you okay?" "Your dad called us, saying he was so worried about you." "But I told him I was praying for you." "And I did." "I prayed for you and for, you know..." "And no matter what happens, Adrian, you're my friend, and I love you." "And God loves you." "He does." "And God is love." "And we all just need to love each other." "You went with her?" "Well, I" " I got there a little late." "Grace, let go of me." "We wanna tell you something." "Go ahead." "Tell me." "I'm having the baby." "What?" "You're having the baby?" "Oh, my gosh!" "This is amazing news!" "I'm gonna be an aunt!" "You're not gonna be an aunt." "You're not my sister, but" "But I'm like a sister." "Yes, you are." "I" "I mean, to Adrian." "You're like a sister to Adrian." "He's in a state of shock." "So am I." "We don't know what we're saying, but we just wanted to let you know." "Well, I'm so happy that you let me know." "You a-and Ben." "So, you're having a baby." "Get up." "Get up." "Adrian and Ben are in the kitchen." "Tom, I can't get up." "My back is killing me from falling asleep in the shower last night." "I think it's out of place or something." "I got this shooting pain." "She is having a baby." "Adrian's having the baby." "I don't think so, Tom." "No, she is." "I think she's not having the baby." "I think she's already taken care of that." "Not having the baby." "Listen to me." "Adrian's having the baby." "All right." "Is there any reason to believe that we might still be..." "high off those brownies?" "No." "Shoot." "I forgot to call Madison back." "Short-term memory loss." "Don't be angry with me." "Well, if you're Shor t-term memorliving with Tom, which you're not, by the way, 'cause I don't want you to," "C well, then, why is your truck parked blocks away from the Bowman house?" "I'm parked behind your truck again." "It's still here." "I'm gonna walk over there and talk to you face to face." "All right?" "Just stay there and give me, like, five minutes, okay?" "All right." "I'm giving you five minutes." "But if you're not here in five minutes," "I'm out of your life, Jack Pappas." "I'll be there." "I'll be back." "Adrian's having a baby." "Praise the Lord!" "I bet it's gonna be a beautiful baby." "Did I just see Jack go by?" "Are you seeing Jack again?" "Are you?" "No." "No." "I'm not seeing Jack." "I'm definitely not seeing Jack." "Okay, well, am I seeing Jack?" "I thought I saw Jack." "He's kind of living in our guest house." "Do you think he saw us?" "Yeah, I think he saw us." "I saw him." "And he was running." "Why is he running?" "Why is Jack running?" "Because nobody knows he's living in the guest house." "So you two can't say anything to anyone." "Especially my mom and Jeff, because they're taking the day to be with each other." "Uh, I better go." "Adrian, I can come back for you." "But I think I better find Jack before he can say anything to anyone who might say something to Amy before I say something to Amy." "Okay." "He should say something to Amy." "You two can't keep this a secret from Amy." "I don't intend to." "I'm not trying to keep it a secret at all." "I texted Ashley." "I told her." "Not that she'll tell Amy, but, hey, if she does, she does." "Well, she may not tell Amy, but she will probably tell Ricky." "Adrian." "What?" "I'd tell him myself, but we're not speaking to each other." "Ricky will tell Amy." "He probably tells her everything." "Yeah, well, I can't worry about that." "I'm gonna have plenty of other things to worry about." "Ricky and Amy are not my first concern." "The baby is." "Well, that's good." "So, how are you?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm okay, I guess." "It's all pretty new-- the idea of actually having the baby." "Are you and, um" "Are you and Ben thinking about getting married?" "Oh, yes, we are, Grace." "Ben and I plant to get married as soon as possible." "Really?" "No, I just said that so I could see if you're still interested in him." "Oh, you're still interested in him even though I'm having his baby, and he's in love with Amy?" "How long are those two gonna be in love when she finds out you're having his baby?" "So you're not just living with Tom, you're eating pot brownies with him?" "Were you stoned before or after you parked your truck blocks away?" "Um, after?" "It was after." "Mrs. Bowman, or Mrs. Zegay, or whatever she's calling herself, she doesn't know I'm living in the guest house yet." "Well, I don't kvow why you just couldn't tell me." "You know, I'm not jealous of Grace." "I don't care if you live in her guest house." "So what?" "Really?" "No, not really." "I don't want you hanging out with Tom as an excuse to hang out with Grace." "And besides, if Mrs. Bowman said-- or Mrs. Zegay, or whatever she's calling herself now, said that you can't live in the guest house, then the answer is no, you can't live in the guest house." "She'll let me live in the guest house." "Tom needs me." "Hanging out with Tom-- it's good for Tom, and it's good for me." "Well, it's not good for me, or us." "What am I saying?" "It's not good for you or Tom." "You guys got stoned on pot brownies." "Hi." "Hi there." "I was wondering if I might have a word with Jack." "No, you can't have a word with Jack." "I'm having a word with Jack." "I'm kind of talking to Madison here." "But I heard." "And don't worry." "I'm not gonna say anything." "Heard what?" "What'd you hear?" "Well, whatever it is, you guys have to tell me." "I'm Amy's best friend." "Which is exactly why I didn't wanna say anything, Jack." "I'm sorry." "I have some news of my own I'm trying to break." "Yeah, about the guest house?" "That news has already been broken, and you're gonna have to fix it." "What's your news, Ben?" "Well, I didn't tell Amy about Adrian having an abortion, or having had an abortion." "She had the abortion, right?" "Just say it." "Say what?" "Adrian decided to have the baby." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "You better call her right now." "Call before somebody else tells her, before I tell her." "I'm going to tell her." "I just" " I don't know when yet." "I'll tell you when." "Before anybody else tells her." "Well, he's asleep, finally." "I thought a couple hours at the playground would do it." "I should've taken him to my apartment." "He knows my apartment." "He doesn't know your house." "Well, he'll get to know this house." "And this is your house, too." "I'm really happy to see you." "How are you?" "How have you been?" "Fine." "I hear things." "Oh, no." "You know I hear things." "In my line of work, I'm always hearing things, even things I don't wanna know about." "Did you hear I'm fine?" "How's Adrian?" "Adrian" " I don't know." "I'm not talking to her." "I told you I'm not talking to her." "Aw, how can you know that?" "Know what?" "That she's having Ben's baby." "I ran into her at the clinic." "You didn't talk her into having the baby, did you?" "'Cause it's not like her to go and have a baby she doesn't wanna have and that Ben doesn't want her to have." "I didn't talk Adrian into anything." "Even if they have a baby, even if Adrian ends up with Ben, even if they get married and live happily ever after," "I'm not gonna marry Amy, you got that?" "I am not going to marry Amy." "I don't wanna get married." "I didn't even wanna have a baby." "You know, and just because I did have a baby doesn't mean I'm gonna be stuck with anyone, even Amy, for the rest of my life." "Oh, excellent." "I'll eat in here." "Thanks." "All right." "Look, I need you to do me a favor." "Take this into the kitchen." "I wanna walk next door and see Ruben." "Ruben?" "Yeah, we're friends, Ruben and me, and I wanna talk to him." "About Adrian?" "Don't you think you ought to wait?" "No, I don't." "I think I'd better find out right now who they're telling what to and when." "I don't want Amy to find out." "It would break her heart." "She's alone and in New York City." "No, it's just not the right time." "So I'm just gonna ask them if they can keep quiet for a few weeks, like Amy did." "Dad, I think too many people know already." "What people?" "Well, Ben, for one." "He's not gonna tell her." "At least not right away." "And I'll go over and talk to Leo, too." "Well, Ricky knows." "He's not gonna tell her, especially after I talk to him and tell him not to tell her." "Ricky will do what's best for Amy, and it's best for Amy if she doesn't know." "At least not until she gets home." "Oh, I see." "So all of the dads are gonna get together and fix things for the womenfolk the way men do." "Yeah, we are." "Could you imagine being all alone in a new place without your friends and family around and finding out something like this?" "Dad, you can't fix this." "Adrian is having a baby." "And I don't want Amy to get her heart broken again, either, but Ben's gonna have to tell her before someone else tells her." "And he can't wait weeks." "He can't wait until she gets back here, after everyone else in the world knows." "That would kill her." "Look, sugarplum, this is too big a problem for you to handle, okay?" "You just leave it up to me and take the pizza to your mother." "And tell her what?" "Tell her I'll be back in five minutes." "Hi." "Hi." "Come in." "Welcome to the neighborhood." "It's been a year." "But thanks." "I, um" " I heard about Adrian-- that she's with child." "All right." "You heard." "So you know, so probably everybody knows." "Not my Amy." "Is Ruben here?" "I'm sorry." "I'm really, really sorry." "And then I learned the most important thing of all is the follow-through." "Right?" "So you" "You always have to follow it through." "You swing it back, and then you follow it all the way through." "And then, hopefully, you hit the ball." "I gotta get some rest." "I haven't been outdoors for this long in a really long time." "Good night." "Good night." "It's good to get out for a bit, enjoy the game." "We have to do it again sometime." "Yeah." "Ruben, you're either gonna have to go home or call Cindy and let her know where you are." "I imagine she's starting to worry." "And I don't wanna be the one to get you in trouble." "Or I could just call her." "You could call her, but sooner or later, you're gonna have to go home." "I don't wanna be a bad host, but you're gonna have to go home, you know?" "The driver will take you." "You can pick up your car tomorrow." "No, no." "I'm fine, really." "Just to be safe." "Well, maybe I don't wanna be home." "I might rather go to a hotel or something." "You can't do that." "And you can't stay here, 'cause then I'll get in trouble with your family." "Come on." "Your girls need you." "So you're gonna have to put your feelings aside and be there for them, even though you didn't agree with what Adrian felt she had to do." "Hi." "Hi." "Hi." "I was wondering when you'd get home." "We were worried about you two." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "I was talking to Adrian." "Oh, I'm" " I'm fine." "Hi, Dad." "Hi, Adrian." "Hi." "I don't know what to say, Adrian, but do you have to look so happy?" "It may be relief you're feeling, but it's coming off asasas happiness, and I don't get that." "Dad, didn't you talk to Mom?" "I changed my mind." "You changed your mind about..." "About..." "You two don't know?" "Dad, I tried to call you." "When did you try to call me?" "Pretty much all day." "Well, you didn't try very hard." "Well, I called you." "Yeah, once, and you didn't even leave a message." "I didn't wanna leave this on a message, and I figured that Cindy told Ruben and Ruben told you and" "I'm having the baby." "We're having the baby." "Although, we don't really know what" ""we" and "we're having the baby" means yet, but, uh..." "You are?" "I am." "And your mother knows?" "Of course she knows." "I'm surprised you don't know." "I'm surprised you're even here." "I just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Boykewich for telling Ben to come to the clinic with me." "So, thank you, Mr. Boykewich." "I'm really happy Ben was there with me." "I mean, he got there a little late, after I had made the decision." "But it was my decision to make anyway, so it was nice to have him there afterwards." "And all day." "We've had a nice day." "I thought you and Mom might need some time, so I wasn't in a hurry to get back to the house." "We've been over at Grace's." "I love you, Adrian, and I know this was not easy." "And it's not going to be easy." "But it's the right thing to do." "For me, okay?" "For me, Dad." "Come on." "Let's go home." "We'll talk in the car." "Good night." "Good night." "Let her drive." "So, she changed her mind." "Yep." "She changed her mind." "So, you're gonna be a father." "I'm going to be a father." "Did you tell Amy?" "I'm going to tell Amy." "You're damn right you're gonna tell Amy." "Tom, we're off to I'm going to ta bad start here." "We're living a lie." "Well, that's how it is." "No, that's not how it is." "That's how it is." "Well, that's not how I want it to be." "I'm an honest guy, and I'm gonna break the news to your mom and Jeff and just hope for the best." "One, they're still not at home." "Well, as soon as they get home." "And two, you're not that honest." "Yeah, you're probably right about that." "So I'm just gonna sit here and think about what I've done for a little while longer." "Or until Madison leaves?" "Yeah." "So, I think there should be some rules." "Well, there don't have to be rules, but if you wanna lay down some rules for Jack, I completely understand." "Children love boundaries." "Rules for you and Jack." "Well, I'm not living with Jack." "Jack's living with Tom." "No one's living anywhere unless there's some rules." "All right." "Well, what are the rules?" "Jeez." "No drugs." "Mmm." "I think my mom's got that one covered after the whole brownie thing." "I don't know what Christians were doing with pot brownies in their refrigerator in the first place, but, anyway..." "But anyway, my dad used to let this homeless guy stay here, and he left them in there." "And nobody wanted to toss them out just in case Mr. Anonymous Pot-loving Homeless Guy decided to come back?" "No one knew." "Well, I sure hope your mom keeps a better eye on what's going on in the guest house from now on." "I think there should be another rule." "No sex in the guest house." "Are you referring to me or you?" "You." "Oh." "But you and Jack are allowed to have sex in the guest house?" "I think my mom might have some rules about you and Jack not having sex in the guest house, Madison." "Well, she can't have any rules about us not having sex at my house, can she?" "Amy?" "Yeah, Amy." "I don't think you should tell her." "I think you should let Ben tell her." "And you know how it goes." "Kill the messenger." "Oh, I see." "So if Amy decides to kill the messenger, it should be Ben, thus destroying their relationship and leaving him to you." "Or" " Well, to you and Adrian." "Not that Adrian wants Ben." "But, you know, that could change." "No, it won't change." "And I didn't say that." "I didn't say any of that." "You kind of did, but I'm not gonna tell Amy, so..." "Let's make that a rule." "That no one tell Amy but Ben?" "Mm-hmm." "Isn't it kind of difficult to make rules and dictate morals?" "No, not really." "We've been doing it for centuries." ""We"?" "Christians, people of other religions." "Well, this is America, so I don't think we can really do that." "We can try." "Mmm." "Don't be ridiculous." "We were just talking." "And eating." "Yeah." "My food." "That's been ready for two hours." "I think George and I will just excuse ourselves and let you two get this fight over with." "Good night, George." "All right." "Just because you and George were together before doesn't mean anything, other than I'm slightly jealous." "'Cause I love you." "I love you, but I'm jealous." "I hate being jealous." "But I'm also really relieved." "And I'm really happy Adrian changed her mind." "You're not?" "You're not." "So it's my fault she changed her mind." "I'm fine with that." "Go ahead." "Blame me." "You're really okay with Adrian being a mother at 17?" "I went over there to talk to Ruben." "I want them to be considerate of the fact that Adrian's pregnant by Amy's boyfriend and not to tell everyone until Amy's home and we have a chance to tell her." "George, we can't keep Amy from finding out about this." "Come Monday morning, the entire school's gonna know about it." "I am not gonna tell her." "Well, I'm not gonna tell her either." "No?" "No." "But I think Ben's gonna tell her." "I hope he'll tell her." "I don't want anyone to tell her." "Not anytime soon anyway." "Not till she's home." "Amy again?" "I hate to rush you out of here, but I have to go pick up my son." "So what's her story?" "Is she really at some music school, or is she pregnant again?" "People are ridiculous, you know that?" "Of course she's not pregnant again." "Of course." "She isn't." "All right." "But Adrian is." "You don't know that." "I do know that." "Jack parked his truck in front of my house." "Huh?" "Look, you should tell her before she finds out from someone else." "It's not up to me to tell her." "It's up to Ben, if there's anything to tell her." "I know my way out." "It's just so hard to believe." "It's not that hard to believe." "Not so hard to believe that Amy won't believe it when she hears it from someone else." "I said I'd tell her, and I'll tell her." "Call her, Ben." "Just call her." "I dialed her number, and I got her message." "She thinks she's having problems with her phone because everyone keeps cutting her off." "That's pretty funny." "It's not funny." "Did you leave her a message?" "I told her that I'm having problems with my computer, so, you know, between her phone and my computer, I could buy some time." "And while you're buying time, someone else could be talking to her." "Not a good plan." "I know." "Amy will be okay, eventually." "That's what I told Adrian- that Amy will be okay." "I mean, if anyone should understand, it should be Amy, right?" "Are you kidding?" "No, he's not kidding, Hank." "Oh." "Yeah, of course not." "Not about something like that." "Amy will understand." "Tell her." "Or don't." "We don't really know." "Maybe you should wait, get your thoughts together." "I mean, really, Ben, we love Amy." "We do." "But we love you more." "And today you just found out you're becoming a father." "So you can't tell the woman you love that on the very same day." "It's understandable." "It is." "Just don't wait too long, okay?" "Maybe someone else should tell her." "Someone like?" "Ashley?" "Ashley?" "Ashley?" "Ashley and Adrian have been hanging out a lot, and I'm sure that Adrian told Ashley so she'll tell Ricky." "You haven't told Ricky?" "When?" "When was I gonna tell Ricky?" "I was with Adrian all day- or practically all day." "How is she doing?" "Okay, I think." "And how are you doing?" "Not as well as Adrian, but probably better than Amy when she finds out." "Morning,John." "It's Mama." "Hi." "How are you?" "I love you, baby." "It's me." "It's Mama." "Mommy's in New York." "Say, "Hi, Mama." "Hi, Mommy."" "No, no." "John, come back to the computer." "Look at the" " No, look at the computer, John." "There you are." "I can see you." "No." "No, no." "John, don't go away." "He's fine." "He can't be fine, Ashley." "He's one." "I'm his mother." "I'm in New York." "Go get him." "Oh, Amy, stop." "The kid doesn't know you're not here." "He just thinks you're at school or living in the computer or something." "He's fine." "Bye."
