"GRACE:" "Previously on The Secret Life of the American Teenager..." "We're never gonna get back together again, are we?" "No, I don't think so." "I changed my mind about Rachel." "And I am grateful that you did." "I really like that woman." "Maybe even enough to marry her." "So you want me to quit my job at the church nursery so that you can go help your ex-wife?" "If that's what I want to do, yeah." "I just wanted to say face to face that" "I appreciate that we could part amicably." "And it wouldn't be the worst thing if my dad was in love with Kathleen." "He's in love with his first wife, always has been, always will be." "I'm happy we at least have a dialogue going." "This isn't a dialogue, this is a contest to see who Dad loved the most." "You told him to talk to me." "I just didn't know he was here talking to you right now." "What's going on?" "If Adrian is going to be a part of your life, then I wanted to get to know Adrian." "And now that you've gotten to know me a little better, you still want to be a part of my life?" "I know I wouldn't." "It's summer school, it doesn't really count, does it?" "Yeah, as a matter of fact it does, and since you're not usually a "C" student," "I would encourage you to bring up your grades in the next couple of weeks." "Otherwise instead of summer school helping you to get into college, it's actually going to hurt you, especially if you want to get into the same school as Ricky." "If you're going to do that, then you'll probably need straight A's." "Not C's." "And certainly not a D, which is where you may be headed." "Can't I just drop the courses, drop out of summer school and then take the classes over in the fall?" "No." "If you do that, they'll end up averaging your grades so there's no way for you to make an A." "And probably not a B." "You'd get a failing grade for summer school, and even if you got an A during the year, you'd end up with a C." "So Amy, I know you're not happy to be here, but you are here, and you signed up to be here, and you really need to make school a priority." "You've done it before." "You came back from having the baby and caught up." "I know you can do it." "I just..." "I don't want to do it." "It's summer, remember summer?" "When kids get a break from school and they go out and play?" "Not kids in summer school." "At least not until they finish their homework." "If you focus and work hard in the next few weeks then you've got it." "You'll have two classes out of the way." "Two big classes that'll free you up for all of your easier classes all next year." "So, this is what I want you to do." "I want you to stay in the office and finish up a couple of assignments that you keep asking for extensions on, and then you can go back to class when you're all caught up." "Make yourself at home." "I'll be in and out to check in on you." "I have a lot of parent/student/principal meetings today." "Or I could just go to the library." "No, you may get distracted there." "Okay, look, here's the thing..." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Is Amy home?" "Who's asking?" "Are you Ricky?" "I might be." "Who are you?" "We're Amy's friends from New York." "Not from New York." "We met in New York." "You know, at the program for teen moms." "We're teen moms, too." "Obviously." "Amy said that we should drop by if we're ever in the area." "And we're in the area." "We drove all the way from Chicago with our two little guys." "Oh." "Well, Amy's at school and I've got to get to work." "I'll tell her you came by." "But I didn't get your names." "Jane." "Jackie." "Got it." "Nice meeting you." "Um." "We're traveling with our children, kind of just staying with friends, you know?" "We were hoping we could crash here." "I think Amy said we could crash with her if we ever came out to California." "Crash here?" "Oh, we only have one bedroom." "Maybe Amy told you that when she was living at her parents' house." "There's lots more room at her parents' house." "Does she have your number?" "I could tell her to give you a call." "Can we just come in?" "I have to use the bathroom." "Me, too." "No, Amy, you really can't drop out." "No, I can." "I'll just take whatever the grade is when it's averaged." "I really don't care anymore." "It's too late in the summer to start caring." "No, it's not!" "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Oh." "Sorry." "Ricky doesn't usually call unless there's a problem." "Hello?" "Do you know two girls named Jane and Jackie that you..." "Oh, my God!" "Wait, are they there?" "Did they actually come?" "You invited them?" "No, I didn't invite them, but I said that if they ever came out to California, they should look us up." "Well, they did." "I can't believe it!" "I'm so excited to see them." "Let me talk to them." "I'll just be one second." "I came downstairs so I could talk to you without an audience." "They're upstairs, and they each have a kid with them, and they think you invited them to stay with us." "I said they could crash for a few nights." "So what?" "Why can't they stay with us?" "Stay with us where?" "We're in the living room and John's in the bedroom." "Well, their boys can stay in the bedroom with John and then they can sleep on the living room floor." "It'll be fine." "No, it won't!" "I wouldn't be comfortable with that arrangement." "Then go over to my dad's house." "Why don't you and your friends go over to your dad's house?" "Because my dad would be around and we want to, you know." "No, I don't know." "Look, we're going to want to stay up late after John and their kids go to bed so we can catch up, and I don't have to worry about my dad listening to everything, or you, for that matter." "So, just go over to my dad's house." "No." "And they can't stay in the apartment with us." "They don't have any money for hotels." "Geez, it would just be for a couple of nights." "Look, I want to see my friends." "And you're always saying it's my apartment, too." "So see them, then get rid of them because I don't want to do this." "And it's not my place or your place, it's our place." "And you should have discussed this with me." "Okay." "Well, I'm sure you realize that you don't have time to be entertaining out of town guests right now." "Remember what we were talking about earlier?" "Priorities." "I thought we were talking about my last summer in high school." "♪ 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" "+" "Come on, give peace a chance." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh, you do too." "And if you didn't have a new girlfriend, you'd already be talking to Henry because you don't have any other friends." "Oh, unless are friends now." "You had over pizzasation with her and now Amy's your best friend?" "Not my best friend, we had a conversation." "It's the first time between us. felt normal was nice." "Nice, huh?" "Yeah, Dylan is not going to go for that, you and Amy being friends." "Dylan doesn't get to decide just who her friends are." "Like me?" "She's a smart girl." "No, she's an annoying girl." "And I think she's a little weird." "Why?" "Uh, you're her first boyfriend and she's already so obsessed with you that she's showing up at your ex-wife's condo." "Oh." "Mmm." "Second ex-wife." "I think that's how she refers to me." "Yeah, she's funny." "She calls Amy my first ex-wife even though we were never married." "No, you weren't." "Dylan likes me." "She really likes me." "And I like her." "And I like that she likes you and Amy." "I don't buy that." "And I predict that Dylan's going to get you in worse trouble than I got you into." "And what kind of trouble would that be?" "God only knows, Benny." "But I can't take care of you anymore." "You really need Henry, you know that?" "You need your best friend to keep an eye on you and be your voice of reason." "So get over it, and make up with your best friend before it's too late." "I'm Ben's best friend. get over it?" "ld he" "Henry slept with his..." "Oh, that's right, you know this." "(SIGHS)" "Haven't heard from you." "How's it going?" "It's going okay." "How's the new girlfriend?" "Good." "How is it that Henry sleeps with Adrian and you end up not being friends with me?" "Alice, we're friends, but Dylan is jealous enough of Adrian and Amy without adding yet another woman into my life." "Adding?" "I've been here the whole time." "Dylan would have a problem with your hanging out with me?" "I don't know, but I imagine she might." "And based on that, on your imagination, you've just quit calling me or texting me, you have nothing to say to me?" "Ben, we're friends." "We've been friends for a long time." "Alice, it was always you and me and Henry." "And I know Henry's the one who screwed up and not you, but..." "I'm sorry, it just doesn't seem right with just you and me." "Okay." "I told you to study." "I told you to come over and I'd help you." "When was I going to go over there?" "After I put John to bed?" "Or last weekend, you could have come over last weekend." "Last weekend was too late." "And I can't pull my grades up, especially now that showed up with their kids." "What am I going to do?" "get out and do stuff. to" "Okay." "So, let them go out and do stuff, but you can't go with them." "You have to study, you have to." "And Ricky's right, in your apartment.r them" "We could make room." "I've never spent the night over at your apartment." "Well, you could if you wanted to." "They drove with their sons." "Chicago" "They're my friends." "You don't have time for more friends." "You don't even have time for me." "You're not a good friend to me." "You're not even to yourself.d" "You're going to summer school." "How embarrassing is that going to be?" "You really have to summer school." "You know what?" "what it's like." "Okay?" "You have it easy. no responsibilities." "Your mom still does or your dad.or you," "All you have to do is study." "I resent that. than just study." "I..." "I hand washed a blouse last week." "(SCOFFS) Oh, please, Lauren." "You have nothing to do and do your homework." "That is such a luxury." "It's more like a choice." "Oh, I see." "It's a choice." "And I chose badly." "As in I chose to have a baby in high school." "You said it." "No, you said it." "All right, I said it." "You don't make good choices for yourself." "Why are you trying to be friends with Ben again when you got what you wanted?" "You're living with Ricky, you're engaged to Ricky." "Did you even tell Ricky that you spent an hour talking to Ben when you went to get pizza?" "No." "He didn't ask." "What?" "It was a choice." "Another bad choice." "Hi." "Hi." "Hey, you want to go off campus for lunch today?" "Lauren just spoke to me." "I was standing right here." "I was about to head right down there and she looked at me, and she kept walking, but she said, "Hi," and she didn't turn around, she kept walking, so I called back, "Hi."" "And she didn't tell me to shut up or anything." "She actually spoke to me." "So, you want to go off campus for lunch or not?" "This is huge." "This means she is on the verge of being my friend again." "I knew she'd get sick of Amy." "Amy and Ricky, Ricky and Amy." "Yeah." "I'm starving." "Maybe you should try to talk to Ben again." "Maybe this is the day that we both get our friends back." "I don't know if I want my friend back." "(SIGHS) I can't afford to want my friend back." "It's too painful and too frustrating." "And I got to tell you, Madison, if you make up with Lauren," "I'm going to be lost, I have no one." "That's what they call karma, my friend." "I mean ex-friend." "I mean ex-best friend." "But somehow your karma seems to be stinking up my life." "Okay." "Don't listen to her." "You deserve way better than Ben as a friend." "Even better than me." "Oh, no, Madison, don't." "You know what?" "I'll call you." "We'll have lunch another time." "Oh, no." "Hi." "Hi." "Hi." "Lauren just spoke to me so I thought I'd see if maybe you wanted to speak to me." "I speak to you all the time, I just don't want to be friends with you, okay?" "Okay." "So, what are you doing in here?" "Something I would only discuss with a friend." "Okay, well, I'd love to hear about it if you want to talk." "I really, really would like us all to be friends again." "No groveling, okay?" "A stupid fight with Amy and Lauren is not worth losing your self-respect over." "I've already lost my self-respect with that stupid guy Jesse." "I mean, why would I have sex with somebody I don't even care about?" "Why are you asking me?" "I don't do that." "Anymore." "Well, I've apologized, like a thousand times, but there's no excuse." "At lfast no excuse that anyone's gonna understand." "I'm going to try to find Lauren." "Hi." "Hi." "What's going on?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Maybe you'd like to talk to Ben." "I know you and Ben are talking." "We bumped into each other, so what?" "So it took him an hour to get back with the pizza and I was stuck talking to the new girlfriend." "So, no, you didn't just bump into him." "And I suppose now you're going to start talking to Ricky again to get back at me?" "No." "You know, strangely enough, I'm happy with Omar, and Ricky is happy with you." "We're both happy being away from each other and with other people." "No, you and Ben are the wild cards now." "I'm very happy with Ricky." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Hello?" "Did you call them?" "They're still up there." "I am not going to call my friends until..." "Do you mind?" "This is a private conversation." "Look, I don't want them to feel like they aren't welcome in our apartment." "I'll just talk to them when I get home." "At 6:00 or 7:00 tonight?" "I just want to see them for one night!" "Wild card." "(SIGHS)" "Hi, Amy." "Hi, Amy." "Hi, Grace." "Hi, Amy." "I was looking for Ethan." "Do you know where I might find him?" "Yeah, I know where you might find him, but if I were you, I would go make friends with someone else." "Okay, what's the matter?" "You don't like Jacob?" "He's not good enough for Ethan?" "He's my brother, you know." "Okay." "Ethan's in the band room." "Oh." "I hadn't thought of looking there." "Thanks." "So he's your brother now?" "Yeah!" "All right." "You know, my mom is having dinner with your father tonight, so maybe you were right." "You told me that your mom was married and that she would never leave her husband for my dad." "You also told me that that guy was not your brother." "So make up your mind." "+" "I got to catch that kid." "Come here, kid." "And whose kid is this?" "Two of Amy's friends dropped by, they both have children." "I guess one of them escaped." "You have house guests?" "Four house guests?" "I hope not." "I hope Amy's going to come home after work and get rid of them." "Here." "I'll take him upstairs." "Let's go." "Amy is so lucky." "I mean, look at this place, it's great, isn't it?" "I would die to live in a place like this." "And hey, that Ricky..." "Oh, I know." "My boyfriend is such a dork." "I can't even believe I had sex with him now." "And more than once." "I found someone down in the butcher shop." "I didn't realize he was up from his nap." "Sorry." "He came I the way down the stairs and was just wandering around the butcher shop where there are knives and meat cutters, and..." "It's not a place for children." "We don't let John just wander around the butcher shop." "We were just talking about how cute you are." "See ya." "David, you just got Mommy in big trouble." "Don't go outside the apartment again." "Now go over there and play with Allen." "Think he understands that?" "No." "It was more for me than him." "This is so not a vacation." "Maybe we should go to the beach or something." "I just want to do nothing for a couple of days." "I'm tired of driving." "I'm tired of being a mom." "I'm no good at it." "We should have sent the boys on a vacation with their dads and just stayed home." "Yeah, right." "Yeah, right." "Seriously." "I would be a much better mom if I just had some time to take care of me." "Yeah." "Ricky, you really need to stop calling me." "One of them wasn't watching her kid and he came down here and he was wandering around all over the place." "Jackie." "Probably Jackie." "Amy, I can't take care of your friends and watch their children and work." "And even if I wasn't working, I don't want to watch someone else's kids." "I'm sorry." "(SNIFFLES)" "Are you..." "Oh, no, don't try to manipulate me by crying." "They have to go." "I'm not trying to manipulate you." "I'm just having a really lousy day." "(SIGHS)" "Don't worry about anything, I've got it covered, it's all going to be fine." "No, it's not." "No, it is." "I'll make sure it is." "Couldn't help but overhear." "Hi, Ethan." "Can I be of service?" "Uh, no." "I don't think so." "I'm fine." "Um..." "Jacob was looking for you earlier, did he find you?" "Jacob?" "Yeah." "You know Jacob, Grace's brother?" "Oh." "Yeah." "I wonder what he wanted." "I don't know." "But I don't have time to do this." "I have to catch up with some things, some homework." "In trouble, huh?" "No." "I'm not in trouble." "But I will be if I don't finish this, all right?" "Been there." "Here you go." "Yeah, I like her, she's cute." "But are you sure she wants to go out with me?" "We're going to find out." "Step back." "(CAMERA CLICKS)" "No, that's too smiley." "It looks as if I'm trying too hard." "Do another one." "All right." "(CAMERA CLICKS)" "No." "No." "That totally looks like I'm posing." "Do another one." "All right, hurry up, dude, we both have to get to class." "Did you find out if we can use Ricky's apartment?" "That was never going to work." "Even if he and Amy let us use the place, it's got baby stuff all over it." "We're never going to get anywhere with two chicks if there's baby stuff laying all over the place." "But your guest house is freend clear, right?" "(CAMERA CLICKS)" "No." "No, my eyes were closed." "And we cannot use the guest house." "I'm already in enough trouble with my..." "I don't know what to call her, my dad's wife?" "Try to get a decent photo this time, will you?" "I'm not taking another one." "This is what you look like." "I'll tell them to meet us at your guest house at what, 9:00?" "9:00?" "No." "That's too late." "It's a school night and I don't think Kathleen will be out that late with George." "She's old." "Well, these chicks aren't." "They're 17, it's summer." "They're not going out before sundown, come on." "The later it is, the less chance we have of getting caught." "I'll get back to you." "(CHUCKLES) That was hilarious." "I don't know if that's a compliment." "Oh, it wasn't sex so don't be insulted." "It was foreplay." "It was making out." "And I'm sorry, two adults sneaking around to make out is hilarious." "Or genius." "Or genius." "Now I wish I hadn't even told Grace we were going out." "She would never have known." "Oh, well..." "Thanks for lunch." "And for..." "Making out." "You told Grace we were going out?" "I just thought I would melon it to her that we were having dinner, as friends." "That way, if we got caught, we wouldn't look suspicious." "Yeah, all right." "However you want to play it." "It's all up to you, Kat." "I like it when you call me that." "Goodbye." "Thanks for lunch." "We could still go out for dinner." "No, it wouldn't beat lunch." "That was fun." "Goodbye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "(LAUGHING) Bye." "(BABY CRYING ON MONITOR)" "+" "What?" "Is he down there again?" "Geez, I can't keep up with that kid." "I bet you could if you tried." "He's right there." "Oh." "Yeah." "He is." "You really should keep an eye on your sons." "Does someone actually have to tell you that?" "Look." "We don't have boyfriends or fiances or Prince Charmings, all right?" "It's just us and the deadbeat dads." "And we're tired." "And what time does Amy get home?" "We want to go out." "Yeah, this place is nice and all but it's all we've seen of California." "We want to go out." "Amy won't be home for hours and then she has to do homework." "So if you two want to go somewhere," "I can keep an eye on the little guys." "Okay." "Okay." "Oh." "Wait a minute." "We don't really know you." "He's fine." "I'm sure Amy will give me a good reference, call her." "No, that's okay." "We'll be back." "Yeah." "What time were you thinking?" "Just leave me your cell numbers in case I have any trouble when it's time for them to go to bed." "Really?" "Really?" "Oh." "He has no trouble sleeping anywhere." "He's used to staying with my mom, or my friends, or other family members." "Yeah, Allen, too." "Bye." "Cell numbers." "(BELL RINGING)" "So, let's go by the market and get a pile of snacks, and then start working on the final paper for world history." "Oh, I can't believe I'm almost finished with high school." "That's not due for weeks." "I'm gonna go over to Jack's." "No, let's just get the bibliographies done." "I really want to get started on this." "I mean, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel." "Well, I'd like to see it after I see Jack." "Okay." "Let me ask you something." "If you like Jack so much, why is it that you're holding out on him?" "We made out." "And how long you think he'll be happy with that?" "As long as I'm happy with that." "Mmm-hmm." "Yeah." "I think you're holding out on him just in case Daniel comes back around." "Daniel?" "Who said anything about Daniel?" "Look..." "I'm not going to have sex with Jack if there's even the slightest chance" "I'm ever gonna want to have sex with Daniel or any other guy." "My numbers are getting too high." "I'm stopping at three." "You'd still be at three if you slept with Jack right now." "Unless you're counting him twice." "All right, all right." "The real reason is, if I get back in bed with Jack, that's it, for life." "And if you get back in bed with Daniel, that's it for life?" "Daniel would never make that kind of commitment." "Oh, and you think Jack would?" "Yes." "He would." "I just don't know if I would." "So I'm not going to have sex with him." "Hi, Alice." "I know you're not talking to me." "But..." "I miss you." "I miss you and Ben." "I miss me and you and Ben hanging out." "Really?" "Really." "Can't we just be friends, Alice?" "I don't think so, Henry." "Because I still love you and I still want to be your girlfriend." "But Alice..." "I know this is cliche, but don't you think we're too young to be making those decisions about who we want to spend the rest of our lives with?" "No." "Come on, Alice, give it up." "You should be out there dating and so should I." "We have no life experience." "You mean we're not whores?" "Yeah." "I don't want to be a whore." "I want to be your whore." "I want you to be my friend." "I can't." "That's really selfish of you, you know that?" "Because if you can be my friend, then maybe Ben could be our friend again." "(SIGHS)" "Hi." "Hi." "I'm so sorry." "Thanks for saying hi to me." "Oh, Madison, you are such an idiot." "I know, I know, I know." "Why did you do it?" "I don't know." "I felt sorry for him." "You felt sorry for him?" "He knew you didn't like him." "Just because I wouldn't have sex with him?" "No, he just knew." "And he used it to make me feel sorry for him." "And he just kept smiling and telling me I was pretty, and he has such a beautiful smile, which only became annoying after a while, by the way." "I was just so attracted to him, and he was so cute." "But then he just kept smiling, and smiling, and smiling." "Believe me." "I know." "That same smile that attracted me to him in the first place just eventually turned me off." "Yeah." "I should have just waited until that happened to me." "I mean, I never should have done it." "No, you shouldn't have, but you did." "I guess I should just get over it." "I'm really going to try." "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you." "Should we go tell Amy?" "(LAUGHING)" "No." "No." "I really need a break from Amy." "Oh!" "I know what you mean." "(BOTH CHUCKLE)" "Hi." "Hi." "Oh." "Hi." "So, what's going on?" "I got a little behind in my assignments." "I guess I didn't make summer school as important as I should have." "You, uh, want some help?" "No." "No." "And even if I did want help, wouldn't that be a problem?" "With your girlfriend." "Probably." "But she'd get over it." "Well, I don't need any help." "I think I just need to do this by myself." "But, thanks." "You're welcome." "Excuse me." "See ya." "And good luck." "So, how are you doing?" "Um, I have to admit, it was nice to have a day to catch up, but I'm not quite caught up." "Well, I'll stay as long as you want to stay." "I'd like to stay." "I'd like to stay until I got everything done." "Even if that's until midnight." "But the reality is, I have a son, and I have a job." "And I have to leave my homework unfinished yet again because I have to go to my job, because not only do we need the money, we need the insurance." "So..." "All right, so you have to go to work." "Ricky can take over with John when you get home." "No, I already asked him to take over with the house guests." "And they went out, and he's babysitting." "I can't leave my friends' kids with him and not help him." "And my friends are gonna come back to the apartment." "And I can't finish this." "Look, I know I need to, and I want to, but I can't." "You can." "You can do it." "You can do anything you want to do." "How?" "+" "It's about time." "Am I late?" "No." "But your little friend left an hour ago to take care of sosome personal business and I got stuff that needs to be done here." "Thus the job." "All right." "All right?" "All right." "What are you in such a good mood about?" "I don't know, just, uh, life is good." "So, what do you need me to do?" "Life is not that good." "What's up?" "Nothing." "I swear." "Ricky had personal business?" "That's what I said." "Amy's got some friends in town." "He's babysitting." "What?" "Just grateful to..." "I don't know, have some choices in my life again." "What choices?" "Who to go out with, who to be friends with." "Uh-huh." "I heard you're not that free to be friends with either of your ex-wives." "Wow." "Word gets around." "Yeah." "Dylan may be jealous of Amy and Adrian, but Dylan was also smart enough to try to make friends with Amy and Adrian." "(SCOFFS) Friends, huh?" "Yeah." "Which leaves me to be friends with Amy and Adrian." "No, it doesn't." "You can't be friends with either one of them." "You and Dylan can be friends with Amy and Adrian, but you can't, not just on your own." "She's seen to that." "And if she's friends with them, you don't have confidentiality with either one of them." "And that's why you need Alice and Henry." "And you need Alice and Henry to not be friends with Dylan." "Oh, geezez, did my d ask you to say that?" "It's the way of the world." "All I need is Dylan." "Here's the thing, noodle head." "Surely you recognize that Dylan's smart enough to keep her friends close and her enemies closer." "So, if you're thinking that you're free now to be closer to either one of her enemies, your ex-wives, you'd be wrong." "You're just not feeling the leash." "It'll tighten up." "And then Antonio said, "But I'm the big brother,"" "and Harrison said, "But I'm the little brother."" "And the daddy said, "The point is, you're brothers."" "Can you be my daddy?" "You already have aaddy." "But I'd love to be your friend, because I can't wait for my son to meet you, because I know he's going to want to be your friend, too." "You're really a good reader, you know that?" "You know lots of words already." "And so do you." "You must have really good mommies, huh?" "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Hey, Amy." "Read more." "Just a second." "Your friends aren't going to be back by the time you finish work." "They may not be back before the boys go to bed, which is fine, we're getting along great." "Uh, you'd have to drop John off." "We don't have car seats for these guys." "What's going on?" "My mom's not having dinner with George, they had lunch." "She wants me to have dinner with her and Tom and Jacob." "You don't have to go right now though, do you?" "No." "I don't have to go right now." "All right." "Grace, look, we should stop doing this unless we're going to do more than this." "I don't think we should do more than this." "Then let's not do this at all." "I'm fine with not doing this at all." "I can't keep making out with you without wanting to have sex with you." "I don't know what we're doing here." "I don't want to have sex with you." "Thanks." "And do you mean you don't want to have sex with me this afternoon and you might want to have sex with me at some point in the not too distant future?" "No." "I mean, I don't want to have sex with you until there's some kind of commitment." "A big commitment." "Like we plan on getting married in the future kind of commitment." "All right, then let's just not make out." "What?" "You don't seriously think" "I could make a commitment to you for life right now?" "And you don't want to make a commitment to me, do you?" "I mean, you're a senior in high school, I'm about to start college." "Who knows what's going to happen in the future." "Well, I know." "I know I don't want to be with you if you think about me like that." "'Cause apparently you're the type of guy who can't make a commitment." "And you can?" "Yeah." "Did you make a commitment to Grant?" "Or to Daniel?" "No, but since Grant and Daniel," "I have learned in order to enjoy sex, I need a commitment." "I don't want to end up like Jacob's mom." "Seeing you once a year while I raise a kid alone and then you find some other woman and have children with her." "What?" "Yeah." "Either you tell me that when you and I have sex, from that point on, we don't have sex with anyone else and we're going to be married, or we don't have sex." "All right, well, let me think about it." "And I'll get back to you." "I forgot." "We're at my house, in my room." "But I thought about it, and Grace," "I can't make that kind of commitment." "All right, I can study now." "All right." "Mind if I take a nap while you study?" "Not if you take a nap at home." "Oh, come on." "If I go home," "I'm just going to have Daniel knocking at my door asking if he should call Grace." "I thought he was seeing his old girlfriend." "They're just friends." "He still wants to go out with Grace." "Oh." "Would he ever marry Grace?" "Marry her?" "Wait." "Why do I have a feeling I'm about to step into a very bad conversation?" "The mere mention of someone else's marriage makes you that nervous?" "We're not talking about us, we're talking about Grace and Daniel." "She's not even out of high school, how can she be thinking about marriage?" "Oh." "Sorry." "Forgot that you were..." "I forget myself, it's okay." "You think you'll ever get married again?" "Sure." "Why not?" "Will you marry me?" "What'd you say?" "Seriously." "Marry me." "I'm 18." "I'm too young to get married." "You've already been married." "And I don't want to be married again until I get out of college." "But I am getting out of college." "I'll he my bachelor's at the end of the semester, and I'm going to start teaching while I get my master's." "Seriously, are you going to find a better man than me?" "I love you, Adrian, and I don't want you to be with anyone else." "Ever again." "Why did you do this, you jerk?" "It was so good, I was so happy." "And now we have to stop seeing each other." "No, we don't." "Look, take as long as you want to answer." "Tell me a week from now, a month from now, a year from now." "Years from now." "But no cheating." "And eventually you have to say yes." "+" "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Hey." "No Dylan tonight?" "No, I've got homework." "Homework, huh?" "Yeah." "What's going on?" "Nothing's going on." "You sure?" "Positive." "You seemed kind of quiet at dinner." "Do you think Betty and Camille would ever be friends?" "Oh, I hope not." "That friendship would not be sanctioned by me." "Dylan wants to be friends with Amy and Adrian." "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, huh?" "Bunny said the same thing, but Adrian and Amy are not Dylan's enemies." "And I see it more as Dylan's jealous of them but she's trying to overcome that by being friends with them." "Yeah." "Here's the thing." "She'll be friends with them as long as they each have someone in their lives that they're happy with." "If Amy breaks up with Ricky or Adrian breaks up with her new guy, then she's only going to be friends with them to keep them away from you." "Is that so bad?" "Everything you say or do will be shared by Dylan with your exes and vice versa." "I'm just saying that there is no reason for Dylan to be friends with Amy or Adrian." "She has girlfriends." "If you and Adrian, or you and Amy were divorced with kids then it would be good if your girlfriend or wife was friends with them." "But you don't have that complication and you don't need that complication." "Yeah, but I'm friends with Amy and Adrian, so it seems Dylan should be friends with Amy and Adrian." "You're friends with Adrian?" "We're on friendly terms." "That's different." "And you're on friendly terms with Amy?" "Since when?" "Eh, it's kind of happened gradually." "You're not going to be friends with Amy." "She's engaged to be married to Ricky, and Ricky..." "Oh, no." "Don't even think about it." "Yeah." "Well, I'm sure he hasn't called you because he's thinking about it." "But let me tell you, I know Leo." "And if you could just change your mind about having a baby Boykewich, that would be fantastic." "Well, I'd like to, Betty, but that's honestly how I feel." "And I'm embarrassed that that's how I feel and I'm even more embarrassed that Leo told you." "Oh, I knew you would be." "It's just that, you know, I thought if we talked about it, then maybe I could help you save your relationship." "I mean, you're kind of old to be having a baby, aren't you?" "Well, other women my age are having babies." "It can be done." "Yeah, but not without completely wrecking your sex life." "And Ben is so screwed up, that I don't think Leo is ever gonna want to roll those dice again." "And he's really looking forward to" "Ben getting out of high school next year and going off to college, far away." "I don't know if I'm comfortable talking about these things with you, Betty." "I think maybe I should just call Leo." "Sure you should." "But you can stillshould talk to me.Leo." "We're friends." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Are you Jacob?" "Yes, ma'am." "Interesting." "I'm Margaret." "Ethan's foster mom." "Also interesting." "You're also Ricky's mom?" "Yes, I am." "Ethan was caught sneaking out of the house and I wanted to let you know that he is not allowed out of the house without my permission, especially not at 9:00 on a school night to let you copy his homework." "To let me copy his homework?" "Yes." "Uh." "Thank you for letting me know and for driving all the way over here to tell me." "I came all the way over here to talk to Kathleen, but Tom says she's already in bed." "Right." "That's why I came out here to study, so I wouldn't disturb her studying." "Yeah?" "You make a lot of noise studying, do you?" "I like to read out loud, it helps me remember things." "Well, see if you can remember this." "I know about the girls." "I know Ethan was sneaking now to come over here so that the two of you could hook up with two 17-year-olds." "You're too young to be going out with 17-year-olds." "And you're too smart to get yourself into trouble with Ethan." "I love him, but he can be trouble." "And he can get you into trouble." "Not that you're not capable of getting into trouble yourself." "I know about you, and Tom, and the car." "You're not getting off to a very good start here." "I'm so sorry." "This was a really stupid idea." "But I don't have any friends and Ethan wants to be friends, and those girls were very pretty." "Well, you can go on back inside now because they're not coming over." "They're still not back." "They came here to have fun, I guess they're having fun." "Yeah." "Ricky is such a nice guy." "Yeah, he turned out to be a nice guy." "I like him." "Thanks for not going out with Kathleen tonight and helping me with my homework." "Hey, you're more important to me than Wife Number One." "Thanks, Dad." "No problem." "You think we'll ever be friends, you and me?" "One day we'll just be two adults talking to each other as adults?" "Yeah, when you get to be an adult and behave like an adult, then that can happen." "But until then, you're my little girl." "And my little girl does not fail summer school." "All right, let's look at this list again." "Who was allied with whom during World War II?" "Ugh!" "At this point, I'm so tired," "I don't even think I know what the word "ally" means." "Allies are like friends." "Two countries who share a common enemy or a common goal." "But allies change over the years, you know what I mean?" "I think I do." "You don't think I should be friends with Ben?" "Not unless you want World War III." "Tell Ricky you talked to Ben at the pizza joint and then drop it." "Amy, you and Ben don't need to be friends." "You don't need to be enemies, but you don't need to be friends."
