"I guess you just said the truth for me, so I'll take the dare." "So in closing," "I just want to say that I take full responsibity for my decision to have sex with Jack." "I seduced him." "I tempted him." "I went against my own beliefs for a few moments of passion, ill-expressed through meaningless sex." "And once you go to that place, you can never, ever go back to where you were before." "And though I feel certain that God has forgiven me and Jack," "I also live with regret." "?" "Yes, I do." "No, I don't think so." "I think you wish you did because if you could regret it really regret it, then you'd feel better." "?" "that you regret it, then you'd actually regret it." "But as i ?" ", you're thinking about doing it again." "I'm sorry, Grace, but despite the pain of the past few months, the emotional pain as well as the groin injury," "I'm still thking about doing it again." "And so are you." "I can tell." "That's the real problem." "And you didn't say anything about that to anyone." "So, you going to close with a joke?" "Tom and Tammy are waiting in the car." "I'm sorry, Jesus." "He might be right." "I guess I was moved to speak." "You were definitely right about having sex before that lecture and not after." "Yeah." "More right than I ever dreamed." "How's that" "I don't know." "She keeps getting to me." "Grace." "She keeps coming back to me with this..." ""it's wrong to have sex" over and over again." "Once in a while, she seems to get through, and all that talk about why you should be married first and why sex is better when you're married" "I don't know." "It's like she snuck into my brain and planted a seed that's starting to take over." "Either what she's saying is starting to make a lot of sense, or I'm hypnotized." "Oh, come on." "No, I mean it." "Just tell me, you think there's any way the two of us would ever get married sometime in the distant future, or even near future?" "You ever see us getting married and raising a family?" "Yeah, I didn't think so." "?" "but I can't even hold on to the fantasy for a few minutes in my head, so I just don't think about it." "It's probably best." "How is it probably best?" "Because, Adrian, I care about you." "But I don't see myself as ever married to anyone." "Not even Amy." "Not even Amy?" "?" "So therefore, you don't ever see yourself marrying anyone and raising a family." "No." "All right,as long as you're keeping it real." "?" "I want to see other people." "You see other people." "Yeah, but now I want to be honest about it." "I don't wanto hide it because why should I?" "You don't want to be the guy I'm with the rest of my life, fine." "But that guy is out there, and out of respect for myself, and no disrespect to you," "I'm going to find him." "You just had your dad buy a house next to Amy ?" "?" "It was a mistake." "But you're moving in." "Hey." "I just wanted to come by and say I'm sorry we didn't get to go out tonight." "?" "?" "?" "with Griffin right now, and I'm kind of nervous she's going to think I'm gay, so..." "I was hoping I could make a display of affection towards you." "I'm not going to kiss you just so your mother won't think you're gay." "?" "I just came from church with an openly guy." "How can you accuse me of being homophobic?" "Wait a minute." "You're not using this mother excuse to try to get me to kiss you, are you?" "Would that work." "No." "You have a really healthy attitude." "How'd you come by that?" "I got the crap beat out of me 57 times in elementary school for having a crush on Al Gore." "It's true." "I think he's really cute." "I don't agree with his politics, but ?" "that smile." "So my dad ?" "put me in the ring." "Made me take boxing." "And people he paid beat the crap out of me, but I got a little self-confidence out of it." "You have more than a little self-confidence." "I think you've got self-esteem, self-respect." "Well, that's good." "What I want is a boyfriend." "No, not Mark." "Mark's in love with Ashley." "And he's not gay." "He's not." "You're supposed to say it's okay if he is, though." "Wouldn't matter." "Doesn't define what kind of person you are, your attraction to the same sex or the opposite sex." "It's just who you are." "Is that what your parents said to you?" "yep." "And my older brother, and my brother older than that." "By the time I realized I was gay, too, it was really okay with the entire family." "So, Mark's in love, huh?" "?" "But then they give you that shot." "Does that hurt?" "Not that much." "Besides, you don't even care at that point." "Who's going to be there with you?" "I didn't ask Ben, if that's what you're getting at." "No, that's not what I was getting a..." "I was just going to let you know that you can call me." "My family and I will come with you, if you want." "Thanks, but" " I mean, really?" "If you don't have anyone." "?" "when do they take it?" "When you go home from the hospital." "And if I can't find anybody by then, what happens to her?" "Here in California, you can abandon her at the hospital, so don't think about not going to the hospital." "They'll help you with it." "I could help you, too." "I know lots of information about social services and private adoption." "Ricky's mom will help you." "Jack's dad will help you." "?" "I can't keep her." "I can't even provide a home for her." "I can baly provide a home for myself." "Your parents won't let you come back home?" "No." "They told me to get out and never come back." "I'm all grown up." "I'm having a baby." "I have to do it on my own." "She's driving me crazy, Amy." "?" "The way she can drive me crazy." "She just gets so wound up, then goes off in all different directions." "One minute, she's a girl." "And one minute, she's a won." "She's totally unpredtable." "And sometimes, completely unreasonable." "But she's got a heart of gold." "If she just channels that all in the right direction, she is going to be a hell of a" " Um." " Wife?" "She's just like her mother." "Thanks." "Oh, uh, I'll say good night." "Good night." "?" "Thanks for standing by me this past year." "?" "My whole life." "We got a lot of years ahead of us, kid." "Where's Ashley?" "Making out with some guy on the porch." "It's going to be nice for you to have a son, isn't it?" "Yup."
