"Thanks for the kiss." "It taught me a lot." "Like what?" "Like just because someone's sexually attracted to you doesn't mean they really love you." "I think Adrian and I should get engaged." "Not married, just engaged." "I think it'll be nice, especially for her, if people think that we're engaged." "Grace, you and Grant aren't having sex, are you?" "I'm thinking about it." "I don't want you to have gateway sex." "But, mom, I really like him." "I should think you may be ready to make a commitment." "I just said I slept with another woman after telling Amy I wouldn't." "You wanna have a little fun?" "No." "I don't do this anymore." "One more time before the girlfriend comes back home?" "Madison's dad isn't gonna let us go out all summer." "You can't stand the thought of my being with someone else even though you have somebody else." "I wanna do the right thing in case someday you wanna get engaged." "Friends?" "Friends." "What happened?" "What are you doing here?" "More important to see you before anything happens... anything that would keep us apart." "Hey." "You didn't have to do that." "I had to do that." "I know what they have to eat on those flights." "You have to be hungry." "It's almost 11:00." "I should've just said I'm starving." "Thank you." "You gonna have something, too?" "I'm not hungry." "What'd you have for dinner?" "Same thing." "Sandwich." "I went over to my apartment and started getting things ready to move back in, so I just had a sandwich from the butcher shop." "Oh?" "Yeah." "What do you mean, "oh?"" "Don't you believe me?" "Well, I believe you, or I wanna believe you, but I just can't picture what you'd be doing at your apartment to get ready to move back in." "Just stuff." "I cleaned up." "I'm not over there every day, so there was stuff to clean up." "I see." "I don't think you do see." "What stuff was there to clean up?" "What were you doing, dusting?" "I might've been." "I dust." "Do you?" "Amy, I can't just hang out here all day and all night with your family." "I can't." "I've done the best I can, all right?" "And if you wanna accuse me of having sex with another girl, just come out and say it." "Just come out and say what you're thinking." "You know I've been working on that the last few weeks." "Yes, I know." "You told me." "I've been listening to all the teenage mothers and their stories about how their boyfriends reacted once they decided they wanted a real commitment and not just a promise to help out." "Well, I'm not their boyfriend." "You're not even my boyfriend." "I want you to be my boyfriend, but you know that, so..." "What I'm thinking is maybe you went out and had sex with anyone you could have sex with just because you knew you only had a week until I got home." "And maybe I didn't." "But I can if I want." "Yeah, I guess." "I didn't say I wasn't gonna have sex with other girls." "You said I'd have to quit having sex with other girls if I wanna have sex with you." "Maybe I don't wanna have sex with you." "No offense." "Maybe I'm just not ready to be in an exclusive relationship with you." "I..." "I didn't say I was ready to do that... just be with you." "All right." "Maybe you're not, and maybe you are." "Just keep your voice down." "I don't wanna wake up everyone in the house." "Look, you're tired." "It's late." "You go to bed, and I'll just go home to my apartment." "You wanna fit one more girl in before we finish this discussion?" "How do you do it?" "How do you just go out at midnight, or whatever time it is, and find some girl to go home and have sex with you?" "Is that what you were gonna do?" "No." "I was just gonna go home and go to sleep, because I don't feel like talking to you anymore." "I should've known that weekend in New York was too good to be true." "I knew you'd run from me the second either one of us showed any real feelings toward the other one." "I'm right here." "I'm not running." "Not yet." "But another five minutes of this, and I will." "I really don't feel like talking about this." "If you're not ready to be in an exclusive relationship with me, that's fine." "You're not ready." "I'm ready for that kind of relationship, but you're not, so maybe we could just date." "What do you mean?" "I mean date." "You call me and ask me out or I call you and ask you out, and we go to dinner or go see a movie or you, me, and John go to a circus." "I don't really care just as long as we're dating." "I don't date, Amy." "I'd rather join a circus than date." "Dating is what guys do when they're trying to get a girl to have sex." "I don't have to do that." "You don't date?" "I don't date." "You wouldn't date me even if you thought dating me would eventually lead to having sex with me?" "No, I wouldn't." "I don't get it... dating." "It's just a waste of time." "Thanks." "No problem." "Spend the night with me." "Please?" "¶ Falling in love ¶" "¶ is such an easy thing to do ¶" "¶ birds can do it we can do it ¶" "¶ let's stop talking let's get to it ¶" "¶ let's fall in love ¶" "wanna stay over?" "I can't, Adrian." "Um, I have to go home." "Do you ever think about having sex with me?" "You're funny." "You just had a scare with the baby today." "How can you even think about having sex?" "I don't know." "I'm just thinking about it for some reason." "Don't panic." "I don't mean tonight." "I mean, sometime in the future." "We could have sex again if we wanted." "Well, when my doctors tell me it's safe again." "When they say it's okay." "I'm already pregnant, so..." "So I don't think that your doctors would give you the okay to have sex with me even if you weren't having a baby." "I mean, those guys definitely don't like me, and I'm sure they don't want me anywhere near you." "And I'm sure that your father doesn't, either." "Not until there's a ring on your finger." "Well, your other finger." "No, that's the right finger." "But you know what I mean." "An engagement ring." "And, besides, we're under doctor's orders to grow up, and I'm not sure that having sex just because you can't get pregnant again is evidence that we're growing up." "Who knows what a grown-up is?" "My doctors get to say whether or not it's safe for me to have sex." "They don't get to say with whom." "And my dad doesn't get to say anything at all." "I have to go, Adrian." "Okay." "Another night." "Another night." "And, um, let's make it another night before Amy Juergens gets back from New York." "Why do you say that?" "I say that because if Amy comes back here and she gets into a big fight with Ricky, and she decides she doesn't want Ricky and does want you," "you'll be gone." "Of course, I'll still have the ring." "If that happens, you can keep the ring." "No, no." "But that's not going to happen." "And even if it does happen, nothing that goes on between Amy and Ricky is gonna change anything between you and me." "It could happen." "In fact, it's likely to happen." "Why?" "Because Amy doesn't understand Ricky the way you understand Ricky?" "She doesn't." "I have to go." "I'm tired, and I don't really care to hear how well you know Ricky." "Okay?" "Good night." "Good night, Adrian." "I'm happy that everything worked out today with you and the baby." "I'm happy that you're okay and the baby's okay." "But..." "Good night." "We are not gonna have sex under the king's roof." "He'd never allow it." "He's not home." "He might come home." "Let's just get up and get into our sleeping bags." "I don't like the sleeping bag arrangements." "I think we're getting too old for it." "Don't you?" "We're gonna be juniors in high school next year." "We're never gonna get too old for it." "I love sleeping in the sleeping bags in Ben's room." "It's one of my favorite things in life." "It takes me back to the time when we weren't having sex." "We were young and innocent." "We're still young and innocent." "Young maybe." "What's so great about being innocent?" "I like having sex with you." "No." "I love having sex with you." "Yeah, I know." "And you?" "I love having sex with you." "But how long will we love having sex with each other?" "Forever." "Or until we graduate high school." "Not funny." "Maybe we can just sleep here until Ben gets home." "There's no harm in that..." "in just sleeping." "I guess not, especially since we don't know if we'll be together after high school." "That was a joke, okay?" "You're going on vacation with my family." "You're in for life." "And you're going on vacation with my family, and it could be over for life." "I love you, Alice." "I love you, Henry." "I think I heard a car door." "Just one car door?" "Yeah." "Ben." "Hey, throw the cover over us." "We'll surprise him." "It'll be funny." "Okay." "Surprise!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing there in my bed?" "That's my bed." "You told us you'd be home hours ago." "Yeah, okay." "When I wasn't, you devised a plan to kill me by scaring me to death?" "Sorry." "We thought it'd be really funny, not that a lot of planning went into it." "Well, it wasn't." "It was just scary." "Just like the rest of my life." "What's going on?" "Is... is Adrian okay?" "Is the baby okay?" "I thought she said everything was okay." "It's not them." "It's... it's me." "I think I might've screwed up, again." "What'd you do?" "Hey." "What's going on?" "I just got home." "I know." "We pulled in right behind you, but you took off up the stairs." "Henry, Alice." "Hi." "I didn't see you." "I was just focused on getting up here." "I wanna go to bed, and I'm sure you do, too." "So good night, dad." "You didn't see us?" "No." "I swear." "I just really want to get to bed." "I'm exhausted." "It's been a long day." "Good night." "Wait a minute." "Is everything okay with Adrian?" "Everything turned out all right, right?" "Yeah, everything's fine." "Um, she asked me to stay over, but I thought I should come on home." "So good night." "What?" "Well, go back over there if you want, if you think Adrian needs you." "No." "She's fine." "Adrian really doesn't need anybody." "You know Adrian." "Uh-huh." "Do you know Adrian?" "You sure she doesn't need anyone?" "She doesn't need you tonight?" "She doesn't need me tonight, no." "She asked me to stay, but she's fine." "Yeah, well, anytime she needs you, you be there for her, all right?" "Of course." "So, uh, anything else going on with you and Adrian?" "No, nothing else." "Is anything going on with you and Betty?" "Had a very nice night tonight, Betty and me." "I decided not to let you, or Adrian and you, uh, take up too much of our time tonight." "Tonight was about us." "Tomorrow we'll get around to you." "We'll talk tomorrow." "Okay." "Well, until tomorrow then." "Until tomorrow." "Good night, Henry." "Good night, Alice." "Good night, Mr. Boykewich." "What did you do?" "I gave Adrian a ring." "He told you not to do that, and we told you not to do that." "Only he told you if you did, you're engaged." "Yes, but it's not an engagement ring, and we're not engaged." "You just wanted her to have the ring before Amy gets home, didn't you?" "What?" "No." "Giving Adrian a ring is not gonna make Amy come back to you." "That's not why I did it." "I didn't give Adrian a ring to make Amy jealous, and she didn't take that ring to make Ricky jealous." "So why did you give it to her?" "I don't know exactly." "Why did Adrian take the ring?" "I don't think she knows exactly." "Uh-oh." "I think I know." "I think you might care about her." "Yeah." "And maybe she cares about Ben." "We don't care about each other." "Not like that." "Then like what?" "Well, like we're having a baby." "Every day, you get deeper into this, my friend." "If you're not careful, you're gonna end up married." "For real this time." "You might just be right, Hank." "This time, you might be right." "From communicating with Jack and Jesse." "I mean, I'm sure there's some way we can get to them." "Yeah, I'm sure we can, but we're not going to." "We're on the honor system." "We agreed not to make phone calls or texts or e-mails or anything else." "Well, we didn't promise not to call, text, or e-mail through a third party." "You know how this works." "If we go by the rules for a while, our parents will probably shorten our sentence." "So just go by the rules for once." "This is so unfair." "I feel like I'm in prison." "Wait." "No." "On second thought, if we were in prison, we would have better uniforms than what we have to wear to the food court." "Just do the time and stop complaining about it." "Complaining about it only makes it worse." "Yeah, it only makes it worse." "Hi, Jason." "Hi, Madison." "Good night." "Thanks for dropping by." "All right." "I'll leave." "Good night, Madison." "So it's another summer at med camp, huh?" "Uh, day after tomorrow." "Good night." "I saw your boyfriends at the party." "Good night." "Wait, wait." "Uh, what party?" "What happened?" "Uh, who..." "who were they there with?" "This could be a trap." "Don't break the rules." "Well, it's not against the rules to just ask about Jack and Jesse." "Let me see." "Uh, they were with each other 'cause they're both losers, and it was the football team-cheerleaders "get to know you" party for the new team members and the new cheerleaders." "I think that's where grace met Jack a couple years ago, isn't it?" "No, they met at church." "Their first date was at that party." "What's your point?" "Yeah, what is your point, besides the fact that you still haven't forgiven Jack for stealing Madison from you?" "Lauren, that's not true." "I mean, Jason and I just weren't even interested in each other, right?" "No, definitely not." "And I don't have a point, okay?" "I just wanted to say good night." "Oh, I almost forgot." "Uh, Jesse wanted me to give you a message." "But I know you're not supposed to get messages from Jesse, so I won't give it to you." "Wait." "Do you know what the message is?" "He said to tell you he loves you." "Oh, wait." "No, that wasn't it." "He said hi." "To tell you hi." "This stinks." "That's what I'm talking about." "I wanna see what it's like up here." "I haven't been up here since..." "well, in a long time." "Since dad died." "Don't worry." "He's here." "Dad's still here with us in the guest house." "Okay." "Now that I'm totally creeped out," "I think I'll just go back to where I was." "I thought you meant you're going home." "No, I told you I'd stay here till Jack got home." "I'm fine." "You don't have to stay out here." "I don't mind, really." "I do mind." "I'm tired." "I wanna go to bed." "What time is Jack supposed to be home?" "I don't know." "He doesn't have a curfew." "Well, he left to go out awfully late." "Where is he?" "Who wants to know?" "Well, I imagine Madison wants to know." "I imagine she does." "Does he have a date?" "Is he dating 'cause he and Madison can't date?" "They were just forced to break up." "I can't imagine he'd be out this soon, but that's Jack." "Just tell me where he is." "I'm not gonna pay you." "Come on." "Just tell me who he's with." "Twenty bucks!" "I don't have 20 bucks on me." "I'm in my pajamas." "Go get it." "Fine." "You know, I change my mind." "I don't wanna know where he is." "Oh, yeah, you do." "Oh, no, I don't." "Wherever he is and whoever he's with... it's none of my business." "Not my problem." "And I have to say, it doesn't bother me if Madison spends the whole summer worrying about Jack like I spent the whole summer worrying about him last summer." "And if he cheats on her, who's gonna be surprised?" "Not me." "Is he cheating on her already?" "Come on." "Just tell me where he is." "At the party." "That's where you two first got together." "Oh." "It's not that I still care about grace." "I just don't want to see her get hurt." "You just don't want her to have sex with another guy." "Yeah, that, too." "I just wish she'd wait." "Until you see if things are gonna work out with Madison?" "Yeah, because I'm the only guy grace has ever been with, and I'd like it to just stay that way." "Well, it's not gonna stay that way." "Sooner or later, grace bowman is gonna hook up with some other guy, you know?" "And whether that guy is Grant or some other guy..." "And you've been with some other girls." "And I'm sure you're gonna be with some more girls." "Maybe, maybe not." ""Maybe not"?" "Do you really think that you're gonna be with Madison for the rest of your life?" "I might." "No, you won't." "Not unless you wanna stay here and go to college." "I could do that." "Just to be with Madison." "I could." "You could get into a dozen out-of-state schools on a football scholarship, but you would stay here and go to school because of Madison, who you're not even sure you wanna be with, depending on grace and what she does?" "Okay, that's enough." "Let him know you're here." "This isn't nice." "He isn't nice." "Grace was my first love." "Our first date was at that party we were at tonight... the football party." "I wasn't gonna go, but then coach called... you're the quarterback." "You're the team captain." "You're supposed to be there." "I was there." "Late." "Well, it didn't seem right to be out partying when Madison's at home." "They couldn't go with us." "It was just for the guys and the cheerleaders." "I know." "But, still, if grace were to have me back and she wanted to give it one more shot," "I think I'd have to go back with her." "She's not gonna do that." "Probably not." "Besides, even if she did, you're gonna be going off to college in a year." "Yeah, but I don't have to go out of state." "I can go in state." "I was gonna go in state anyway because of Madison." "Deciding which college you go to is an important decision." "You can't decide which college you go to based on a girl." "Or two girls." "Actually, I can." "Is that grace?" "Hello?" "Hi." "Is it too late to call?" "Are you in bed?" "I'm still out." "You're still out with your mother?" "You and your mother are still out this late?" "Hello, grace." "Yes, it's me, Grant's mother." "That's..." "that's not your mother." "You're not out with your mother, are you?" "Well, grace, if you're not gonna have sex with me, you know how it is." "Stop it." "No, I don't." "How is it?" "I'm just kidding around." "Yes, I'm out with my mother." "We stopped on the way home to have ice cream at the dairy shack just like we used to do when I was a kid." "And guess who's here." "Your ex-girlfriend?" "Your old boyfriend." "Jack and Jesse are sitting right behind us." "I'll call you back." "Is it too late to call you back?" "I hope not." "Jack's there." "Grant's gonna call me back." "Hey, Jack." "Hey, Grant." "So you're Jack, grace's old boyfriend." "I've been dying to meet you." "Grace, too." "Only Grant won't bring her over." "This is my mother Carrie." "Oh." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Would you and your friend like to join us?" "Oh, that's very nice of you to offer, but no, thank you." "We were just leaving, since apparently someone's been sitting here listening to our conversation." "Yeah, pretty much." "Yeah." "Well, good night." "Good night." "His mother." "You gotta hand it to the guy." "He's determined to keep me away from grace." "And why is that?" "You're not already having sex with grace, are you?" "Not yet." "Maybe this summer." "Maybe." "I don't know." "Okay." "Well, take plenty of condoms with you to med camp." "That girl has way too many pregnant friends." "Just two." "That's two too many." "All right." "I'll be right back." "Ask for the check, please." "Hi." "What are you doing up so late besides waiting for me to call back?" "Oh, I'm just hanging out in the guest house with Tom." "He doesn't like to be here alone." "Liar." "You're not just waiting for Jack to come home?" "I ask because he told his friend he's still interested in you, so maybe you're still interested in him." "And maybe you're still interested in your old girlfriend?" "That wasn't exactly a no." "Are you?" "No, I'm not." "We don't let her live at our house so I can still see her every day and every night." "I really care about you, grace." "We have an agreement." "You're not gonna stomp on my heart." "No, I'm not gonna stomp on your heart." "I care about you, too." "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" "Okay." "And just so you know, I'm leaving the guest house right now before Jack even gets home, so I won't be talking to him." "Thanks." "I like that." "Good night." "Good night." "Good night, Mrs. calabash, wherever you are." "I can't sleep." "I can." "You can?" "Come on, Amy." "I knew I should've gone home." "I just have to ask you one thing." "Can't it wait until morning?" "You know how you said maybe you had sex with someone else?" "Did you?" ""Don't ask me about my business, kay."" "What?" ""All right." "This one time I'll let you ask me about my affairs."" "What are you talking about?" "I feel like Michael Corleone when his wife, kay, cornered him." "Who?" "The godfather." "What godfather?" "The movie." "You've never seen the godfather?" "No." "Then never mind." "Just go back to sleep." "I just have to know." "Just tell me the truth." "Did you?" "All right." "I was gonna tell you at some point anyway." "So go ahead." "Tell me." "Don't get upset." "I won't get upset." "As long as you tell me the truth, I won't get upset." "I had a chance to, but I didn't." "Which doesn't mean I will never have sex with anyone else again." "So you haven't had sex with anyone since you've been back from New York?" "Okay." "Thanks for telling me." "Okay, but... no." "No "buts."" "I don't wanna discuss this, especially in the middle of the night." "You've forgotten what it's like getting up with John in the morning." "Save your energy for that." "Who did you have a chance to have sex with?" "Was it Ashley?" "No, not Ashley." "You know I'd never have sex with Ashley." "No, of course not." "I already told you I'd never have sex with Ashley." "We already talked about her." "You know everything she ever said to me and everything I ever said to her." "Then who?" "That's it, Amy." "I can't take it anymore." "That's the end of the discussion." "If you keep talking about this, I'm going home." "I'm really going home." "Go back to sleep." "Okay, okay." "I won't talk about it anymore." "Can I just take another guess?" "Please don't." "Great." "Good night, Amy." "Good night, Ricky." "Oh, great." "He probably heard you." "He probably heard us." "And are we gonna get up and see about him, or will I be doing that?" "Could you?" "Fine." "I'll get him." "Why shouldn't I get him?" "I've been getting him for the past month." "I've been getting him for the past year." "Bring him in here, okay?" "That's not a good idea." "It's fine." "He's used to being in here." "I like him in here." "Well, I like to leave him in the nursery." "And it's better for him." "He's not used to being in here with the two of us." "Great." "So he thinks he knows best." "Was that Robie just a minute ago?" "No, not Robie." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "What time is it?" "4:30." "I had a dream that Amy was home." "Yeah, she's home." "What?" "I heard her." "She and Ricky were talking." "Kind of loud." "I think he left." "Wait." "What?" "I forgot to tell you." "She called to find out if she could change her flight." "She didn't say she was coming home." "She just was thinking about it." "It's a refundable ticket." "What..." "Amy's home?" "She's home early, and you didn't even tell me?" "You were asleep, and when I saw her, so was she and so was Ricky." "I figured you'd find out in the morning anyway." "That my daughter is home from New York early?" "Thanks a lot, George." "I wanna know what she's doing home early." "Ask her." "I will." "Amy?" "Yeah?" "I'm so happy you're home." "Why are you home?" "I missed John and Ricky, and I wanted to see Ricky." "Well, why is that?" "Why'd you wanna see Ricky?" "You just saw Ricky." "Did you have a fight with Ricky?" "No." "Well, you didn't just leave that program early because you missed John and Ricky." "And by the way, didn't you miss me and your dad and Ashley and Robie?" "Okay, Amy." "We'll talk in the morning." "I'm happy you're home." "I think." "Yeah, me, too." "Good night, Amy." "Night." "I love you." "You, too." "So you're still here." "You didn't go home?" "I'm here." "But don't worry." "I'm going home." "Now?" "When Amy gets up." "I see." "She asked me to stay." "Oh, so of course you had to stay." "What's going on?" "Why is she home early?" "She just wanted to come home." "She said she was ready to come home." "And why is that?" "It's her home." "Uh-huh." "I was just checking on John." "He woke up." "He's already back to sleep, so... so you're just gonna go back in there with Amy." "I could sleep on the couch." "That would be a lot more comfortable and quieter." "Quieter, huh?" "So you two were fighting." "Let me guess." "You went out with some other girl." "Or, rather, you slept with another girl, and Amy felt like she had to rush home to keep you from being with that girl or with anyone else." "She just wanted to come home." "I don't think Amy's ever gonna be able to stop you from being with other girls 'cause that's just the kind of guy you are, Ricky." "And Amy's either gonna have to live with that or you two are gonna have to face the fact that despite John, you two really shouldn't be together, because that's what life would be like." "And yet, you're about to get remarried to your husband." "Good night." "I'll be in the living room." "Oh, no." "You could've just stuck your head in and told me you weren't coming back to my room." "Your mother met me in the hallway." "She didn't really want me to come back in your room." "I've managed to survive here for the past month without getting on anyone's bad side except for maybe Ashley's, so I came in here." "Please, Amy, would you just let me get some sleep?" "You just got home." "We got all summer to talk to each other, to be with each other." "You're right." "Who was it?" "Just tell me who it was." "If you weren't gonna tell me who it was, you shouldn't have brought it up." "I didn't bring it up." "You brought it up." "Okay, fine." "I brought it up." "Who was it?" "It was someone you don't know, all right?" "Really?" "It was someone I don't know?" "Yeah, it was someone you don't know, so don't start guessing a list of names here, all right?" "Are you sure it was someone I don't know?" "Maybe you're lying about that." "Maybe." "Maybe I'm lying." "And maybe I slept with another girl or two or three or four, and you know all of them." "No, I believe you... that you got the opportunity but didn't." "I'm just trying to think of who you had the opportunity to sleep with but didn't." "Was it Adrian?" "Was it Adrian?" "Was it?" "What the..." "Adrian?" "I don't even talk to Adrian, and Adrian's having a baby." "You can still have sex if you're having a baby." "I would have sex with Adrian while she's having Ben's baby?" "She might've offered, and that's a situation which you might've turned down, if offered." "I can't believe you're telling Adrian you wanna be friends with her when you don't think any more of her than that." "I didn't really have these thoughts about Adrian... you and adrian... until tonight when you said you turned down sex." "So... so, when are you gonna see Ben?" "Maybe he'll offer to have sex with you, and you can turn him down, and then we can be even." "I don't know when I'm going to see Ben." "I do plan on seeing him, but... but you were waiting to see how things go with me first?" "You were waiting to see if Adrian and I had been sneaking around behind your backs?" "Jeez, I can't believe you would think that." "I was wrong." "I don't think it was out of the question, but I was wrong." "I would never get in the way of Ben having a relationship with the woman he's having a baby with." "He needs to be with Adrian right now." "Now?" "What about later?" "I doubt that he and Adrian will end up together." "Because?" "Because." "Because Adrian's not good enough for Ben?" "I didn't say that." "That's what you think... that she's not good enough for him because he's such a nice guy, and he would never get involved with a girl like Adrian." "I did not say that." "She's a nice girl..." "Adrian." "I know." "No, you don't know." "You're being nice to her, but be honest here." "You think it was lousy of her to seduce Ben, and you feel badly for him that she got pregnant." "I don't think there was a whole lot of seduction going on." "He wasn't just friends with Adrian to be friends with Adrian." "He was curious about sex with Adrian all along because he's attracted to her." "So when he got his chance, he took it, whether he cared anything at all about her or not." "And let me tell you something, Amy." "When he does get to know her, when he does find out how smart she is and what a big heart she has, he might just fall in love with her." "And he might've anyway, baby or not." "I doubt it." "Are you planning to use this time while Ben's with Adrian as some experiment?" "You know, a time to find out if we're really meant for each other so that if we're not, when Ben and Adrian's baby gets here and all hell breaks loose a couple months into it," "you'll know whether or not you'd rather be with him?" "No!" "This has nothing to do with them... with Ben and Adrian." "This is about us." "I want this summer to be our time to get to know each other and to see if there's any chance we can actually be a couple and actually get married in the distant future and be a family..." "the three of us." "I have a difficult time believing that whatever our feelings are for Ben and Adrian... that those feelings don't have something to do with everything going on with us right now." "And I also have a difficult time believing that going to movies and going out to dinner and taking John to the circus would help us decide what our feelings are for each other and whether or not we wanna be together the rest of our lives." "But that's what people do, okay?" "They go out." "They talk." "They get to know each other." "They... they fall in love, and then they get married..." "Sometimes." "I want that." "And while we're going out and talking and getting to know each other and falling in love," "I wanna graduate high school, and I wanna graduate college and start a career." "I wanna be a teacher." "I wanna teach girls to believe in themselves, because I believe in myself." "I believe I can be a good teacher and a good mother and a good wife to you, someday." "Grace, your phone's beeping." "I think you have messages or something." "That's okay." "I'll just check them later." "I'm gonna go home, all right?" "Tell your mom thanks for inviting me over." "She didn't invite you." "I invited you." "She just let you come over." "Maybe next time she'll let me sleep with you." "Don't bet on it." "Okay." "I won't bet on it." "It was fun having you sleep here." "I just can't figure out why she let you actually come over here in the middle of the night." "Why not?" "Why not?" "I mean, she's made it pretty clear that she doesn't want us to have sex, but then she lets you sleep in my room?" "Oh, no." "I hope she's not up to something." "She's not up to anything." "She trusts us." "She trusts me anyway." "See you later." "I'll call you." "Tell your mom I said hello." "I'm really looking forward to meeting her." "I'll introduce you." "She's a very special person..." "my mom... and way too involved in my life, so let's just wait until, you know, you know you like me." "I like you." "Where's your dad, by the way?" "He's..." "Long story." "I'll tell you about it some other time." "It's nothing bad." "He's around." "Okay." "Okay, see you." "See you." "She's up to something." "Okay, you gotta go home." "What?" "You've gotta go home." "I've gotta get up and get my day going." "Oh, so much for sleeping over." "Being close and all that, huh?" "Yeah." "It's not me." "Then who was it that I was with last night?" "Go home." "Okay." "I've got to talk to my dad about giving you that ring." "I'm sure he knows." "Oh, yeah." "The ring." "I forgot all about the ring." "Already?" "It's like a dream or something." "Only better 'cause it's real." "I can't wait to show grace and my parents and everyone I know, or don't know." "Okay." "Well, when you show it to them, please make it clear that it's not an engagement ring." "If we say it's an engagement ring, then we're in trouble." "You're in trouble, not me." "Okay, I'm in trouble." "It's not an engagement ring." "I know." "Get up, bedhead." "I always have bedhead." "It's worse if I shower right before I go to bed." "It's cute." "I like when you're not so perfect." "Which is most of the time, right?" "No, most of the time you are perfect." "Too perfect for me." "Adrian, I am not too perfect, especially for you." "In fact, I don't even know if I feel worthy of you." "What are you talking about?" "You're just so..." "Full of life and..." "Fun and crazy and carefree and..." "Beautiful, and I'm not." "But you're very confident and considerate and..." "Just such an honorable person." "You have dignity..." "real dignity, Ben." "Oh, at least when your hair is combed." "I really appreciate you standing by me like this, and I hope you continue to do that... to stand by me even when Amy comes back from New York." "And I think it's really nice that she called me and that she's offering to be my friend, but, well," "I have to say, I really didn't miss her." "I'm happy that she's been away and that we've had this time together without her around." "And I know that you just can't wait to talk to her face-to-face, but I think it was kind of a blessing in disguise that she went away and that she wasn't talking to you." "It gave us a chance to talk to each other... you and me." "Um, I'll call you later." "And if you have any problems today, do not go to the hospital again by yourself, okay?" "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Ooh." "I'm starting to get a little bump." "Yeah." "Bye." "Oh, look." "My two boys are here." "Good morning, John." "Good morning, Ricky." "You put me through hell last night." "Don't say that in front of your son." "He might repeat it." "I'm gonna go home now." "Can't you stay and have breakfast?" "No, I can't." "I have to work today." "You want me to drop John off?" "No." "I'm gonna keep him with me today." "I wanna spend some time with him." "I really missed him." "Okay." "Well, bye, Amy." "It's been nice being here, kind of." "Thank you for doing this." "Thank you for letting me go to New York and being with John." "You're welcome." "I'll call you later." "Great." "I'll look forward to hearing from you." "That sounds kind of formal, don't you think, for two people who have a son?" "Well, I just thought it sounded polite." "Is there something else you wanted?" "Something you wanted to ask me?" "Would you and John like to go out with me tonight?" "We would love to." "What time will you be picking us up?" "Or we could pick you up." "That's less date-like." "Mmm." "I'll see you around 7."
