"Previously on "The Secret Life Of The American Tennager"..." "She's coming here..." "Now." "Her dad has a business trip planned," "And she wants to come with him to see me." "Don't let amy break up with you because her italian girlfriend is showing up." "Break up with her because you don't want to be with her anymore." "I love, love, love getting away with you." "Maybe we shouldn't have lied." "This is the school counselor" "Calling to find out why you're not in class." "I think my mom is leaving." "She got an offer." "The job is in new york." "Having sex ruined everything for us." "Not continuing to have sex ruined everything for us." "Ben!" "Benito!" "I made a mistake of asking ann if there was any possibility" "That the baby might not be mine," "So ann took the baby and went to see her mother." "She took amy and john, too." "But they're coming back." "I don't know." "I don't even know if they know they're coming back." "I never actually thought she'd come to california." "Now's she's here with her dad." "I do love amy," "But I want to be with other girls." "I want to date and have sex." "You could mediate a legal agreement without going to court." "I want to see my son, amy." "I want you to bring john home." "Ben?" "Thought I heard something." "So are you going to see your friend" "Before she goes back to Italy?" "Uh, I don't know." "Did you talk to amy?" "I mean, unless I see my friend, there's no sense in talking to amy about anything" "Well, not about my friend anyway, right?" "Right, unless you're going to continue to have" "A relationship with your friend." "In that case you may want to tell amy." "I'll just play it by ear." "By ear." "Yeah, you do that." "Good night." "Good night." "You want me to shut the door?" "Uh, yeah, it's just that I'm..." "Studying." "What are you studying?" "Oh, where'd you get this?" "Betty's yard sale." "Honestly, it's a very good story." "About sex." "About life." "Uh-huh." "Good night." "Anything going on you want to tell me about?" "Not at this moment, no." "New supply?" "Did you need" "Nope." "Good night." "I don't know what you're up to, but good night." "Benito, you found me." "Maria, I did." ""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"." "You don't have to have your shirt off for that." "I know." "It just balances the masculine" "With the feminine." "Whatever." "Put your shirt back on." "What's the problem?" "Uncomfortable with the male body?" "Oh, shut up." "Are you sure you're gay?" "Why don't you think about that question," "Then ask me again." "Of course I could be mistaken for metrosexual." "Then again there's nothing really metro about me," "And I am gay," "And metrosexuals are gay, too," "So there you go." "Griffin?" "George." "What's the" "Clarifying mask." "Clarifying what?" "That I'm gay." "That's what I thought." "Just removes all the impurities." "Impurities from..." "From..." "From his face." "All right." "I didn't know." "Thought it was for his mind or something." "Because I'm gay I have impurities of the mind?" "Don't get all defensive." "I just didn't know what that thing was..." "On a guy." "Why does he have his shirt off?" "Why, uncomfortable with the male body?" "Yes, I am." "Put your shirt on." "I don't care if you're gay or not, and keep your pants on." "Dad." "We have other rooms, you know." "There are plenty of beds all over the house if you're staying over." "Ashley said I can stay right here." "You said he could sleep over in my room." "right." "You sure you're gay?" "Is this going to be an issue every time I sleep over?" "Probably." "Dad, he's fine staying in my room." "All right." "You know, it's kind of lonely in there." "You guys want to hang out in the family room, watch some tv?" "Dad, don't." "That's pathetic." "Where's moose?" "Your mother's side of the bed." "Okay, pathetic or not, let him hang with us." "No." "Here, take what's left of the mask." "It'll make your face smooth as a baby's bottom." "What?" "Don't say baby to him." "I told you." "Oh, I forgot." "Maybe that mask is sucking the brain out of your head." "As long as it keep my pores clean," "I'm okay with that." "I'll wash it off in 10 minutes." "Just hang in there." "Then we'll do something you want to do." "What do you want to do?" "What do you usually do when you have sleepovers?" "I've never had one." "I'm shocked." "You're so much fun." "This will be fun." "This will be fun if we end up having sex." "No, this will be fun not having sex." "It's a sleepover." "Yeah, that's great, a sleepover." "How about a sex-over?" "We agreed not to have sex for a while, until we work some things out." "It's been a while, and we've worked some things out." "Don't you think we should reward ourselves" "With the progress we've made?" "What progress?" "We both have agreed that we couldn't possibly decide at 17" "If we're ready to be together for the rest of our lives." "We have." "You got your way on that." "You were right about that," "And maybe you're right about the reward." "Yeah, we deserve a little reward for that." "And I said that I would entertain" "The idea of possibly marrying you" "At some time in the distant future." "That wasn't easy for me," "But I understand where you're coming from on that." "Okay, and we get a reward for that, too." "That's all I get for that?" "We-- that's all we get for that." "okay, come here." "And I agree that if we did get married someday," "That I would consider having another child" "If we both wanted a child," "And the marriage was stable" "And we were financially and emotionally ready to have a child." "We get a really big reward for that." "All right, let's just do it." "No, we're not going to just do it." "Doing it is a reward we get" "When we decide to get married and have a family" "And be together the rest of our lives." "Adrian, don't tell me you don't want to do it right now" "Regardless of what's going to happen in the future." "Of course I do," "But I'm afraid that if I do," "Then we'll lose all the progress we've made so far." "Adrian." "Why don't I go downstairs" "And pop some corn" "And we can put in a movie." "Okay." "Be right back." "And this is the bedroom." "Oh, I see." "Sorry." "That's okay." "You can check it." "I know who it is." "It's fine." "Okay." "believe me, it's fine." "Where were we?" "Do you need to take that call?" "If you need to take the call, it's" "I don't." "Okay." "You don't have a girlfriend, do you?" "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." "You." "No, it's my mother." "Ever since my brother died, we call each other every night." "Oh, you should call her." "I think it's about time I stop that little ritual." "Don't you?" "I'll call in the morning." "All right, if you want." "I mean, if you want to call her, it's fine." "Hmm, let me think about this." "Uh, call my mother on the phone" "Or have sex with you?" "Hmm." "Or we could have sex" "While you talk to your mother on the phone." "a jewish boy's dream." "Really?" "No." "Hi." "Just wanted to say good night." "Good night, jack." "Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?" "I don't want to change my mind." "Okay, grace." "Good night, jack." "You okay with your mom not being there?" "I could come over and just stay downstairs in the living room," "Sleep on the couch?" "It's a funny thing." "My parents used to let tom and I stay here by ourselves once in a while" "When they were gone, and we were fine," "But it just feels different now with my dad being gone." "I always thought if something went wrong," "He would just run home and save me." "I'd save you." "I'd run over and save you, grace..." "If anything happened." "It's okay." "I can take care of myself." "Good night, jack." "Mmm, okay, okay, we have to stop." "Stop?" "What is this word stop?" "Uh, alto, alto." "No alto." "Go, go, go, home run." "No, no, no, no." "No homeruns, maria." "We've agreed to be friends." "We agree to friends in Italy." "This is america." "In america you can do anything." "You can be anyone." "Let's be lovers." "No, I can't." "I just can't." "You can if you want." "Trust me, a part of me wants." "I bet I know which part." "Maria, stop, please." "Beno, no stop, please." "What's the matter, benito?" "You don't want to make love to me tonight?" "Tomorrow I go home, and you can have your amy again." "Hi, I'm ben's dad, leo boykewich." "Sausage king of america." "I'm so happy to meet" "The father of my friend, my ben." "I didn't realize you were here, ben." "That's because I hide in the closet" "Because ben, he is nervous that he is caught by amy," "Who's had a baby with another man." "Ridiculous, no?" "Even so, amy is his girlfriend." "What's a girlfriend-- a girl who is a friend?" "I'm his girlfriend, too." "Am I not?" "I really don't know." "I'm sorry." "I don't even know your name." "Maria, maria maccini." "You're related to rocco mancini?" "Si, my papa." "Oh, he's a nice man-- rocco." "And he's here with you in california?" "Si, si, he's waiting at the hotel." "And he knows you're here visiting ben." "He loves ben." "Uh, yeah, he does." "Oh." "That's nice." "If I would've known you were here, maria," "I would've invited your father over for a visit." "But then benito and me, we could not kiss, not so much." "Well, true, I guess." "Maybe you can bring him with you next time." "In the meantime, would you like our driver to take you back to the hotel?" "It's getting late." "Oh, mr." "Leo boykewich," "Thank you so much," "But I want to say good-bye to ben alone, solo." "All right, I'll give you two a few more minutes." "Ben, could we, uh..." "I'll just be a second." "Do you know who her father is?" "I've met him." "Do you know who he is?" "I can't believe we're grocery shopping at 00 at night." "We should've stopped on the way here," "But don't worry." "Mimsy's nurse will take good care of john and robbie." "They won't even miss us." "It will be fine." "I know that." "That's why this is so wonderful." "It's like a dream," "Almost as good as the beach," "Only we don't have to watch the babies." "I can't believe we're grocery shopping at 11:00 at night." "This is really, really fun, mom." "We should do this all the time." "Fun?" "I'm exhausted." "I don't know why you're exhausted." "I drove the whole way to mimsy's." "Well, you're still a relatively new driver, amy." "In between keeping my eyes on your driving" "And the babies and then dealing with mimsy," "Really, I'm exhausted." "We can't spend all night in here." "Mimsy's doing great." "No, she's not." "They have an overnight nurse staying with her for a reason." "She's beginning to forget who she is, amy." "Well, I'm beginning to forget who I am." "Did you just see that?" "Yeah, I saw that." "Mom, he doesn't know who I am." "He doesn't know anything about me." "Well, you don't know anything about him." "I know he was looking at me," "And not in that "look at that poor teenage mother" kind of way." "Look, just go find some cereal" "Or the guy if that's what you want to do." "I think I will." "I mean, it's not like I'm cheating on ben." "I'm just having a little fun, right?" "Right." "That's what this trip is all about," "You and me finding the fuin life again." "Well, hello there." "I heard you were here." "Oh, my god." "Oh, my god?" "You have no idea" "How many times I've dreamt about making so that" "When we were dating in high school." "under different circumstances, of course." "Shh." "What?" "I waited until she walked away." "Is that your daughter?" "Yeah, and I don't want to have to explain things to her." "You have no idea how complicated my life is already." "I heard you have a new boyfriend." "You and him moving into the old norman house?" "That's the house you renovated, right?" "No, we're not moving there," "And anyway that's over." "Yeah, I heard." "But you're back here, so I thought" "I'm just visiting with my mom." "Amy and I wanted to get away for a few days." "You have to go now." "Okay?" "Just-- just go." "Not before you kiss me." "I can't kiss you." "I'm married." "No, you're not." "No, I'm not, but I'm back with my husband." "Yeah, kind of, sort of," "But you and him had that big fight over the baby," "So I thought maybe that's why you're here." "You want to get back with your old boyfriend." "Not me, your other old boyfriend," "Your more recent old boyfriend." "I forgot what it was like living in a small town." "Small town nothing." "You should pay more attention to what you write in the emails to my brother" "Because he forwards all those to me-- yeah" "Ever since you guys ran into each other in chicago." "He does not." "He comes across as such a saint." "I can't believe he'd do that." "Not would." "Does." "He does do it." "Now, enough small talk." "Come on, kiss me." "Absolutely not." "Come on, let's just see if we still have it." "You know you want to." "They make the pimento cheese here in the store." "Do they?" "Right here in the store?" "That's totally awesome." "Yeah, it is..." "Totally awesome." "Do you like pimento cheese?" "I don't know if I've ever had pimento cheese." "Well, perhaps we can make some pimento cheese sandwiches" "And go on a picnic tomorrow." "Oh, tomorrow?" "I don't know if" "Are you busy tomorrow?" "I'm here visiting my grandmother." "Yeah, I know." "My dad told me." "He pointed you out to me." "It was a good point." "Wait, what?" "He knows your mom." "They were high-school sweethearts." "There you are." "I was looking for you, amy." "Amy?" "I'm nicolette." "This is jimmy, jimmy nash." "Nash?" "Yeah, that nash." "Amy, nicolette, whatever your name is, we've got to go." "Are we all going?" "We were thinking that you two might want to have a pizza or something." " Feel like a pizza?" " Yeah, I feel like a pizza." "No, we can't." "Nicolette, we've got to go." " Can I call you?" " I don't know." "Here." "You can call me if you want," "And if you're going to be here for a while." "Good night." "Night." "Night." "All right, so my name is amy." "I use nicolette sometimes." "It's a middle name, nicolette," "Or I wish it was my middle name." "Anyway." "Why don't I just call you pimento?" "After the cheese?" "All right." "Let's just leave this stuff here and come back tomorrow." "All right, do your thing." "Moose!" "Hola." "Yeah, hola." "Want a drink?" "Oh, yeah." "Gate's unlocked." "Just jump over the wall." "Better than jumping through hoops." "I've done my share." "That's what I call neat." "That's what I call the old neighborhood." "That's a fancy neighborhood." "What's going on?" "Ricky's over." "Not that amy needs to know that." "I'm not going to tell her." "He's not exactly speaking to me right now" "She, or her mother." "Ann still gone?" "Yep." "That's going to be some conversation when she gets back." "Yep." "You actually asked her if the baby is yours?" "It's just a question." "I don't know why she got so upset about it," "Unless it's not my baby." "Or unless it is." "Why would she be upset if it is?" "Uh, because if it is," "You falsely accuse her of having someone else's baby." "I've seen guys murdered for that." "I'm not accusing her of anything." "I was just asking." "George, that's not something you ask your wife." "She's not my wife." "We're divorced." "I'd like to get married again." "I mean, if little robbie's mine." "Does it matter?" "Yeah, it matters." "If he's not my baby, he's just a constant reminder" "That ann cheated." "But you cheated first." "Yeah, but the person I cheated with is not having my baby." "That would be cindy." "Moose!" "George, would you and ann be together" "If she hadn't gotten pregnant?" "I don't know," "But the fact is she had a baby," "And I don't know if he's my son." "Maybe you could look at it this way." "Whether or not he's your son," "He brought you and ann back together," "So maybe it was just meant to be." "Or if he's not my son," "He's what's going to drive us apart for good." "Maybe that's what's meant to be." "I thought we agreed all us men were going to support each other." "I'm trying." "Well, how would you feel if my sleeping cindy" "Is what brought you and cindy and adrian together" "And living next door to me." "How would you feel?" "I'm not quite sure I understand your logic on that one, george." "And would you quit bringing up cindy and her indiscretions?" "Oh, yeah." "Heard about that job in new york." "Moose!" "Darn dog." "Is that george?" "Hmm?" "I think I heard george." "Can I go home now?" "If we're not going to have sex," "I just want to wake up in my own bed." "All right, whatever." "Thanks, adrian." "Thanks a lot." "Mm-mmm." "There are no more rewards." "All right." "You're welcome to stay." "I don't think so." "Maybe not having sex will be better next time," "But, frankly, I find it a littleoring." "Would it be more exciting if amy came back home with your son?" "That's why you said you'd stay over here, isn't it?" "That wasn't the entire reason." "Okay, if we were having sex and you heard amy's car in the driveway," "Would you jump up and run over there?" "No, I'm not a complete jerk." "I'd wait until I was finished." "We-- until we were finished." "Oh, thank you for that." "You're a real gentleman." "Look, amy hasn't called me, and she has my son with her." "I want to see my son." "I want to see john." "This is as long as he's ever been away from me," "And I don't like it." "I told you to do something about it." "My dad said he would help you." "You should try to get joint custody in writing." "Maybe I will." "Good." "All right, I'm going home." "Good-bye." "I'll call you if I see her drive up in the driveway, okay?" "Thanks, adrian." "Yeah, you're welcome." "You know, I'm really trying to make this no-sex thing work." "Yeah, I know." "Good night." "I love you." "I love you, too." "So you've had sex." "Yeah, I don't want to have sex just to have sex." "I want a boyfriend," "But gay relationships in high school are just" "I don't know, impossible." "Why's that?" "Even if I find a guy who's as comfortable as I am" "With being gay," "It's not likely his family's going to be comfortable as mine with it," "And it's not likely the whole high school is going to be comfortable" "With a couple of gay guys openly making out in the hallways." "You don't give people a lot of credit, do you?" "No, I don't." "I watched my brothers go through a lot of "crapola" in high school." "I'd like to avoid that if I can." "Even if that means not getting what you want?" "Not getting a boyfriend you can make out with in the hallways?" "I refuse to make getting what I want that important." "I just want to take it one day at a time" "And see what happens." "I don't need to focus on getting into a relationship." "I mean, if it happens, fine." "If it doesn't, well, I'm 15." "It'll happen eventually." "Are your brothers in relationships?" "Yep, my parents and I don't like one of the partners," "But the other one we like a lot." "What's wrong with the one you don't like?" "He cheated on my brother." "My brother got over it, but the rest of us can't." "He's probably still cheating on him" "Even though he says he isn't." "You know, once you go down that road-- yeah." "Oh, right, I forgot." "I'm sorry." "So, you know, with everything that happened with your parents," "Does that put you off from wanting to have sex?" "No, it was amy's description of what happened at band camp" "That put me off having sex anytime soon," "That and the baby." "You don't think your first time having sex" "Is going to be like amy's first time having sex." "I don't think it's possible to have meaningful sex in high school." "Whether it's gay or straight." "Let's get boyfriends." "I tried." "I'm not into it." "You don't like mark?" "Well, I think he's going out with someone else." "Thank god." "No, no, don't say that." "I lied." "I don't think our friendship's ready for boyfriends." "Yeah, I agree." "Tom?" "It's me." "Tom let me in." "Ugh, jack." "I had a feeling you were cheating on me," "And now I know." "Whatever." "You don't want anything?" "You okay?" "Mmm, I'm better than okay." "I'll say." "Go-- mom." "This is kathleen, the woman I was telling you about." "This is the widow?" "Ma." "I thought you were dead, jeffrey." "You didn't answer the phone." "No, I didn't." "I was going to call you in the morning." "He should've answered the phone." "I told him to answer the phone." "Good." "I like you." "You know, your husband and my son" "Have only been gone six months," "But I like you." "Life goes on." "You have children?" "Yes, yes, I have a son that we adopted," "And I have a daughter." "You want more?" "Ma." "Just something to think about." "That's all I'm saying." "Good night." "And next time, pick up the phone, or you know what'll happen." "I'm so embarrassed." "Oh, no, no, no, don't be, don't be." "She's a liberal democrat," "You know, no judgment" "Unless you're a republican." "No." "yes." "Oh, well, I'm glad we had sex before I found that out." "Republican?" "Really?" "But I voted for obama." "Oh, so you're a cheater, too." "I cheated on my first husband." "And the republicans." "No, I want to tell you this." "You sure?" "What have I done?" "What have I done?" "What have you done?" "I'm an idiot." "I never should've asked maria to come." "It's just that it's her last day here," "And she came all this way to see me," "And she's just-- she's so much fun." "I mean, she's full of life, and she's-- she's fun." "You mean, compared to amy, who has to go to school, work, and raise a son." "Yeah." "Well, you can't just base a relationship on fun." "Why not?" "I feel like an old married man who just saw the light." "Oh, I don't think you've seen the light yet." "Fun doesn't last." "Cooking does." "It's what my mom says." "About me?" "Sometimes." "I can cook, so there." "Yeah, maria can cook, too." "That's not going to last." "I don't know if I care." "Oh, jeez, what are you going to do, move to bologna?" "No, I'll just stay here with amy." "Oh, great, that's a lovely attitude to have about a woman." "I'll just stay with amy," "But I'd rather be with maria." "Well, it's the truth." "I don't know what the truth is" "Other than I want a sex life." "You know what?" "This war in my brain" "This "break up with amy." "no, don't break up with her." ""yeah, break up with her."" "It's become a full-time war." "I need a wartime consigliore." "Ben?" "What's going on?" "Sorry to call you so late." "I just really need to talk to you" "Even though I know you told ricky" "That you wouldn't talk to me." "That's okay." "He's not here." "So amy's out of town?" "And adrian?" "We're still trying to work things out," "So this can't be anything serious because I love adrian." "Yeah, yeah, I know, and I don't care." "I don't want this to be anything serious anyway." "You're not a serious guy." "Not tonight I'm not." "Let me help you." "Oh, I got it, dad." "It's okay." "No, you don't got it." "Come here, john." "How's my grandson?" "How's my daughter?" "Me?" "Oh, I'm fine." "I really am." "Where's your mom?" "Where's robbie?" "They're still at mimsy's." "We stayed at a beach resort enjoying ourselves" "For a couple of days," "Then we drove over to mimsy's." "Mom wanted to stay a little longer," "But I figured I should get home." "You weren't at mimsy's all week?" "No, just yesterday." "Mom and I needed a break" "So we went by the beach first." "So you lied." "You and your mother lied." "Like you don't lie?" "Come on, it was just the girls having a little fun." "It was more fun to keep it a secret." "Dad, you lie about things all the time." "Of course, your lies are your business." "And what lies would those be?" "The none-of-my-business lies." "give me him." "Welcome home, daughter." "It's nice to be home, father." "Wait a minute." "Wait just a darn minute." "Amy-- amy juergens, I want to talk to you." "One second." "Sorry." "Wanted to put john down while he was still sleepy from the ride." "Yeah, the ride." "Right there." "That's what I want to talk to you about." "How did you get here?" "I drove." "Without a license?" "I got my license." "You got your driver's license without me?" "Uh-huh." "Mom took me on the way to the beach." "What's your mother driving?" "Mimsy's car." "Mimsy isn't driving anymore." "I see." "So you drove the new car," "All the way from mimsy's, all by yourself." "Mom gave me a note so I can drive john in my car," "My new car, the suv, the one that david gave me," "All the way from mimsy's, all by myself," "So it's legal with a note for me to drive john." "David's a giver." "He's a real giver." "I'd like to know if he gave your mother anything." "What, like-- like robbie?" "I don't know." "I don't' want to get involved." "That's between you and mom." "I waited 16 1/2 years for you to be able to drive a car," "And you went to get your license with your mother and not me?" "You get your first tampon from your mother." "You get your first license from your dad," "And I'm your dad." "You sure about that?" "Seems like you and your mother have a lot of secrets these days." "Yeah, well, you and ashley have your secrets to, so there you go." "Hello?" "All right, she's home." "Thanks." "Are you going to go over there?" "I thought I'd give you a shot at her first before I call ricky." "I'm at work right now, and so is he." "Take a break and go over there." "Fix this." "I don't know how to fix it." "I thought I wanted to break up with her" "Until you talked me out of it." "Oh, don't be ridiculous." "You're not going to break up with amy" "For some girl who lives half way across the world." "Even if there was no maria, I'd still want to break up with amy." "Okay, now, ben, you know you don't mean that." "Okay?" "You love amy." "You two have been through so much together." "Just hang in there and give it another shot." "You've worked so hard at this relationship." "That's just it." "I don't want to work at a relationship." "I just want to have fun." "Grow up." "Relationships are not always fun," "And after all this time" "You put in trying to make it work," "You really want to give up now?" "I don't know." "I'm tired, confused." "Besides she's going to break up with me anyway" "Once she knows that my friend from bologna's here." "No, she's not." "She might be a little jealous," "But, hey, she's the one" "Who left and went out of town." "You can't help it if that's when maria decided to come here." "You and maria are just friends." "You and amy are more than friends." "You know, I bet you're justweekx with amy." "No, that's impossible." "No, it's not." "She just wants to know that you really love her," "And hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder," "So even if she is upset, she'll get over it." "I have to go." "My dad." "no cell phones!" "Hey." "Was that ricky?" "It was ben." "He asked me to call if I saw amy come home." "You know, you might want to mind your own business" "When it comes to people coming and going from that house." "It is my business." "Adrian, I still think it's in your best interest" "To make friends with amy," "And if you keep spying on her," "You're not going to make friends with amy." "I know." "All right, as long as you know." "You haven't seen your mom over there, have you?" "No, but if I do, I'll let you know." "She has no interest in george." "I didn't say she did." "Don't let her go to new york." "Let?" "Don't let her go to new york?" "Listen, your mother's not my property." "She can do whatever she wants." "That's ridiculous." "She can't do whatever she wants" "And be in a relationship with you." "You tell her that-- she wants you to tell her that." "I don't know." "I know." "Look, just do it, okay?" "I want you two to stay together." "I want you two to get married." "Adrian, we don't always get what we want." "Okay, why do people think that?" "Yes, we can get what we want." "Nice job." "Thanks." "You've been working hard all day." "Yeah, I have." "Trying to get your mind off something?" "Like what?" "Like cheating on your girlfriend." "What makes you think I was cheating on my girlfriend?" "Someontripped the alarm when they were leaving." "Oh, I was over at adrian's." "I did that when I came back." "It was really late." "Sorry." "No, you would never do that." "Someone else did that." "Someone leave in a hurry?" "Yes, I had someone over." "She stayed too late," "And then she rushed out before I could turn off the alarm to let her out." "You feel like crap, don't you?" "No." "Yeah, you do." "You don't want to cheat on adrian." "Adrian and I aren't doing anything right now," "So I have a reason to be with someone else." "It's not cheating." " A reason?" " Yeah." "There's no reason." "There's only justification." "You don't want to cheat on the person you love." "You just don't, so stop." "Quit trying to figure it out and just stop." "No good can come of it." "You think I'm not tempted to cheat on my husband" "Every day I'm here?" "You see all the men come in here," "Flirting with me," "Giving me their business cards," "Offering me discounts and favors and such." "They just want sex." "Yeah, I may have seen that happen once or twice." "All the time." "Listen to me, kid." "When you're driving your car and you see a red light," "Do you think about whether or not you should stop," "Or do you just stop?" "I just stop." "Bingo." "Hey, did amy call you?" "She's back." "Oh, great, and she didn't even let me know." "She's the mother of my son." "I haven't seen my son in five days," "And she doesn't even have the courtesy to call me." "How do you know?" "How do you know she's home?" "Uh, I asked adrian to call me and let me know." "I told you two to quit talking to each other." "I really needed to talk to her." "About?" "About breaking up with amy." "You're pathetic." "You know that?" "If you want to break up with amy, break up with her." "And you don't want to break up with amy," "So just shut up about it." "I can't." "Her friends are going to tell her about maria." "I know they are," "So I thought that I should break up with her," "Or I could let her break up with me." "Are?" "Her friends are going to tell her about maria?" "How about have?" "They have told her about maria, don't you think?" "And they haven't, ashley h." "She was there." "I don't thin ashley would say anything," "And I'm not sure that amy's talked to madison and lauren." "It doesn't matter." "You're not going to have a relationship" "With a girl in Italy, okay?" "Maria's just a friend." "You can have friends and still be in love with amy." "You've been with her for over a year." "You're not going to break up after all the time you put in." "That's pretty much what adrian told me." "I'm taking my break, bunny." " Hey, jack." " Tom." " What's up, buddy?" " Oh, nothing, buddy." "Just hoping grace comes down" "To talk to me." "Really?" "Problems in graceland?" "I don't know." "Maybe I could help." "Is that a sincere offer?" "Because you know, tom, any guy that goes with your sister" "Is going to try something with her," "So you shouldn't hold that against me." "You're right." "We used to be friends, you and me." "I remember." "Can we be friends, tom?" "Can we be friends again?" "I think that could be arranged." "She's cheating on me, isn't she?" "I'm afraid so." "I knew it." "Sorry about that." "Do you know who the guy is?" "I know who it is." "Who?" "It will cost you." "I thought we were friends." "We're friends." "And I have to pay for your information?" "If you want information, yes." "How much." "How much you got?" "Thirty-five bucks." "I think I see another 20 in there." "I see it." "Fifty-five bucks." "Ooh, pretty good." "Who's she cheating on me with, tom?" "Is it ricky?" "Nope." "Jason, lauren's brother?" "Nope." "Well, who is it?" "She's having sex with herself by herself." "Ha." "Yes." "Hey, jeff." "Hey, kathleen, what are you doing?" "Oh, nothing much, really, just cleaning the house." "I thought about the stuff you told me last night." "I don't know why I did that." "No, I do know why I did that." "Because I didn't tell marshall for 15 years," "And then he found out," "And I wish I would've told him." "Well, I wish you hadn't have told me." "Oh, really?" "No, I'm just messing with you." "Okay, please don't do that" "Because I feel so vulnerable around you." "I like that, though." "I like vulnerability," "But you're also a very strong woman, too, kathleen." "I like that." "I like you." "I mean, I more than like you." "I love you." "Bye." "He loves me?" "He loves me?" "Who?" "Jesus." "Not jesus." "Jeff." "It's jeff, right?" "You two are already telling each other you love each other?" "I didn't tell him." "He just told me right now on the phone." "Grace, be happy." "Be happy for me." "I'm happy for you when good things happen to you." "Actually, good things have been happening to me lately." "Oh?" "Oh." "Awesome, huh?" "Oh, yeah." "I'm so happy I may never see jack again." "Hey, ashley, I have something I want to say to you." "I'm very sorry about the way I acted when dad gave you this room." "That was wrong of me." "Yeah, I'll say." "And I'm happy that you have this room" "Because I have something better than this room." "I have a new suv, and I have my driver's license." "I have freedom." "And a baby." "Don't forget john." "Right." "And a baby." "Mm-hmm." "But I also have a new guy in my life." "I met someone," "Someone named jimmy." "Oh, god." "Jimmy, huh?" "Yeah, jimmy." "Is he one of mimsy's friends?" "No, he's mom's high-school boyfriend's son, for your information." "Mom's high-school boyfriend?" "That guy she was with in chicago?" "That was who she was with in chicago?" "Yeah, or didn't she tell you that?" "No." "She told dad, and he told me." "I guess you and mom aren't as close as dad and me." "We tell each other everything," "And now I'm going to tell him" "That she's pretending to visit mimsy" "When she's really visiting her old boyfriend." "Is he the father of her baby?" "What?" "Is who the father of her baby?" "No one." "No one that I know, anyway." "What's going on?" "Dad, if you want mom back, you better get on the phone right now." "She's seeing her old high-school boyfriend." "That's what she's doing." "She says she's seeing mimsy, and, I don't know, maybe she is," "But she's seeing her old high-school boyfriend." "How do you know that?" "Because amy, apparently, is seeing his son." "Oh, hi." "I was going to call you." "Were you?" "Were you going to call me?" "Yes, I was going to call you." "I just got home, and I had to unpack and do laundry." "John is my son." "Yes, and john is my son, too," "And I felt like getting away from you and ben" "And everyone else." "You can get away all you want, but not with my son." "I want my son," "And I'm going to go to court to make sure" "You don't just take off with him ever again." "Adrian's dad is going to help me." "I just want you to know that." "I'm going to get some kind of legal agreements" "So that john doesn't just disappear anytime you feel like taking off." "Hello." "Hi, adrian." "Who is this?" "It's zoe from school." "You slept with my boyfriend mac." "What?" "Mac has a girlfriend?" "He didn't tell me." "Whatever." "Look, I just wanted you to know" " That I returned the favor." " I slept with ricky last night." "Wait, what am I talking about?" "Not slept with." "We had sex last night, And it was great."
