"It's your first day of college." "Good luck!" "Hi there." "I became a Christian again." "Nothing we did that night in the science lab could have caused an explosion." "Stay away from Dylan." "Don't you recognize me?" "I'm really sorry, no." "Clementine?" "She's a girl I lived with in foster care." "We were at the same house for not even a year." "I have something to tell you." "What's that?" "The divorce papers came through." "I'm not sure Ethan is capable of being a friend." "I'm sick of sitting around the house with my grandmother." "I want to be with your mother for the rest of my life." "And I'm telling you that now, so you won't be surprised if things work out." "We might even go to church." "I slept with Alice." "How the hell did that happen?" "Henry doesn't know." "I still love you, and I still want to have sex with you." "We could still make out and fool around a little, just no sex." "Your parents want to have a traditional Indian wedding and come in on elephants." "We are not having a wedding." "You tell your mom that and I'll tell mine." "Who are you talking to?" "You met someone?" "I think I did." "(BURPS)" "You are the coolest girl I ever met." "Thanks." "Couldn't help that." "You have to get used to noises when you're carrying this much weight on your gut." "I'm just glad it wasn't something worse." "Hey, feel free to be yourself." "Go back to what you were talking about, the guy stabbed you?" "Oh, my dad?" "Yeah." "Just in the calf." "He was lecturing me while he was eating an apple, he was cutting slices, you know?" "I just got tired of hearing him talk, he was just going on and on and on, he was stoned out of his mind." "So I turned and walked off and he threw the knife like he was playing mumblety-peg." "Only it stuck in my leg." "Fourteen stitches, right here, see?" "It left a scar." "Where was your mom when all this was going on?" "The last time I saw her, I was eight and she said she was going down to the corner to buy frozen peas." "She left and never came back." "We never really ate peas in our house, but I was eight, I never suspected." "See, that's what I don't want to do, go out for peas and then never come back." "I want the baby to have a mom and a dad and a safe place to live with responsible people." "Are you going to be involved in your kid's life at all, you know, go to birthday parties holiday events, that kind of thing?" "No." "Isn't that going to be hard, on her birthday and at Christmas and stuff?" "I can see her if I want, her mom and dad told me I could." "But..." "I think that's weird." ""Hi." "I'm your birth mommy." "Merry Christmas." ""I gave you a more responsible mommy when you were born." ""But I still like to drop by and disrupt everyone's life whenever I can." ""Bye-bye."" "No, I'm not going to do that." "I'm sure it's fine for some people but for me, no." "My role in life is just to give this couple the baby they can't have on their own." "So tell me about your boyfriend." "He was older than me, 17." "A real brainiac." "We met at a spelling bee." "We both made it to the state finals." "Couldn't spell prophylactic?" "Very funny." "P-R-O-P-H-Y-L-A... (KNOCKING)" "Hello." "Cookie?" "What are you doing in my car?" "Give me the keys." "Right now." "I need those to roll up the window." "Roll up the windows and get out of my car." "What time is your grandmother picking you up, Kathy?" "Whenever I call her." "Call her." "And don't get those crumbs in my car, and don't spill that milk." "Sorry, we knew you'd gone to bed and we didn't want to wake you up talking." "We just want some privacy." "(WHISPERING) I think I'm going to have to go inside." "Don't forget you have to get up early tomorrow." "Amy and Ricky are picking you up and dropping John off here." "And you know what, Kathy, maybe you should go with them." "It can be a double date." "Yeah, okay." "If Ethan wants me to." "If Ethan wants you to?" "You can't make up your own mind about what you want to do and what you don't want to do?" "You're going to just go along with whatever this guy wants?" "Well, it's kind of weird for a guy's mother to ask me out to go out on a date with him, but okay, I'll go." "I guess." "Good." "See you tomorrow." "Nice robe." "Get out of my car and lock it!" "And it better be as clean as I left it." "Okay." "I texted my grandmother." "She's on the way." "Oh, God." "You're not going to kiss me or anything stupid like that, are you?" "I thought we were just friends." "Yeah." "Just friends." "♪ 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 ♪" "Whoa!" "Look who's here!" "It's my buddy." "I'm so happy you guys decided to come." "Are you?" "Does my tie look okay?" "I hope the roof doesn't fall in." "George Juergens." "You bought a dinette from me a couple of years ago." "Slightly damaged." "George and I were married before." "Before Jeff?" "Before Jeff and before Marshall." "Oh." "Enjoy the sermon." "Thanks, you, too." "George!" "Not in church." "I don't care, do you care?" "No, not that much." "Will Jack be joining us?" "I'm hoping." "You know they lost the game yesterday?" "I heard." "I bet he shows up." "Where have you been?" "I'm in there all alone." "And I'm Buddhist." "I'm really not comfortable here." "Did somebody say something to you?" "Does someone in there know you're Buddhist?" "No." "It's just..." "There's no ambiance." "There's no incense, there's no art or statues or anything." "Yeah, I'm Catholic." "I'd like some statues and art, too." "Yeah, but what I've seen of Christian art, it's a little depressing." "You're right." "You know what I never got?" "Why we always see Christ at his worst moment." "Why the crucifixion?" "Why not the loaves of bread and wine?" "That would have made a better picture." "You could hang that in your kitchen." "Both of you, stop." "It's just that the crucifixion is so personal, his clothes are falling off and there's blood all over his head and it's scary." "I may not be a religious person, but I think the crucifixion is the most significant moment." "That's why they chose it." "Shouldn't it be the coming back to life moment?" "Stop, I beg you." "We're not here for the two of you, we are here for me." "And now that we're here, what if he knows that I'm here to score some points with the school board?" "Who's "he"?" "He." "You know." "Him." "If you're not a religious person, why do you care what he thinks about you?" "I'm also here because I thought it might impress my dad and Dylan's parents." "No." "No more Dylan." "Your dad said to keep you away from her." "Well, you know how that works, once something is absolutely forbidden," "I just want to do it all the more." "Okay, seriously, I say we go." "Maybe I should go check in the back." "He'll be here." "I'm sure they'll be here." "Hi, Grace." "Hi." "Welcome, everyone." " Yeah." "Thanks." " Okay, come on, Ethan, you better make your way up to the front, just take a seat behind the organ." "So, it's an organ." "It's not a piano?" "Right." "It's a real organ?" "Not a synthesizer?" "Yeah, that's okay, isn't it?" "Yeah, sure." "I might be a little rusty, but I've played one before." "At a hockey game." "See you later." "I see my dad's here." "You invited my dad?" "He actually invited himself." "He really wanted to come." "You didn't know?" "No." "I didn't know." "We'll just sit in the back." "Anywhere you guys want." "I didn't know they were coming." "No, I didn't realize either." "And I know that Grace recommended that Ethan fill in, but sorry." "Should we go back and say hello?" "No, maybe not." "We can say hello when we're leaving." "I don't believe this." "He never went to church with my mother." "Did your mother go to church?" "No." "But he could have taken her to church." "I haven't been here in years." "When were you here?" "Uh, when I was friends with Grace." "You mean when you dated Grace?" "You dated Grace?" "That was before we were married." "Amy and me." "Yeah." "Hey, speaking of married." "When are you going to tell your mother that you don't want a wedding?" "Why don't you tell your mom you don't want a wedding?" "Didn't you have a wedding already?" "Yeah." "Because she's in Italy." "This is getting ridiculous." "(SCOFFS)" "First my dad, now her." "It's like the end of the world is coming." "This is a church." "This is where people come to worship God." "There's usually some singing but no dancing, no making out." "I've been to church before." "Yeah." "Excuse me, could you take a picture of us, please?" "What's this for?" "Your mother." "So you can tell her I go to church." "We're not telling her we're at church." "If we were going to church, we should have gone to her church." "Did you want a video or a photo?" "Oh." "A photo." "(CLICKS)" "Ooh." "We look good together." "Oh, and if the school board thinks you were with me just for the sex, this could also be presented as evidence." "Of what?" "You're done here." "You said "sex."" "We're in church and you said "sex."" "Oh, like Jesus never had sex?" "Never?" "Oh, come on." "He never married." "And?" "This was a good choice, coming here and not my mother's church." "When is it going to start?" "I want to get this over with." "You think I have time to say hello to Amy?" "Maybe I should." "Yeah." "Sure." "Oh, look." "There's Jack's dad." "Psst!" "Hi there." "Yeah." "Hi." "Reverend Stone." "You're Ethan?" "Don't be nervous." "It's an easy gig."

"And being a Christian at our high school is the loneliest place on earth!" "What are you talking about?" "You have friends." "I have no friends and I have no boyfriend!" "Maybe I should just go." "Go where?" "I cooked lunch for all of us." "Yeah, I don't think Grace is in the mood for a big family get-together right now." "I don't think you're in the mood." "What's wrong?" "No, I am." "I'm just..." "Uh-oh." "You're just..." "I'm just feeling a little weird." "I should have told Amy we were going to church." "It's the first time she's seen us together and I think I might have upset her." "I'm just going to go talk to her." "Couldn't you talk to her a little bit later?" "teter we've eaten?" "Yeah, I could." "I guess." "I don't know." "I just feel like seeing her." "You and I have been around your children and we haven't spent any time around mine." "Yeah, well, two out of three of your children are in Italy." "Yeah, and one of them's here and we haven't really been including Amy or her family when we get together." "Call them,eeee if they want to come eat with us." "There's plenty for everybody." "Nah, I think I'm just gonna go home, let you and Tom and Grace have some time together."

"It's just that we eloped because..." "Amy wanted to, I heard." "We both wanted to." "Nevertheless, it was her idea." "But it's gonna be one person's idea or the other, right, so who cares?"

"And I feel like a total idiot." "But I just can't hide this any longer." "I don't want my mother at my wedding." "And it's not because she's gay." "It's because she's not the mother I grew up with."

"You can't seriously think that putting yourself into the situation you got into with that girl would have no consequences."

"Yeah, you did." "And she's not that nice and she's way too much fun." "Give yourself some time to reflect on that and while you're reflecting, focus on something else." "Like what?"

"Or grounded." "He's not grounded in reality." "He still has that school board hearing coming up, you know?" "The one about him falsely accusing a student teacher of being a pervert?" "The guy is a nut." "He's not!" "He's just Ben, and..." "Don't say it, please don't say it." "I love him." "No, no, no, you don't love him and you two were not meant to be together and you're not seeing him again." "You know when you say that, it does just make me want to see him again."

"No, she isn't interested in sex, either." "She just misses me." "Not even me, really." "She just misses having a boyfriend to go places and do stuff with."

"Okay, if Henry is going out with Dylan, who are you going to be pretending to go out with?" "You?" "+" " Dad?" " George?" "Grandpa!" "AMY:" "Dad?" "RICKY:" "George?" "Grandpa!" "Okay, we're both responsible for that, not just me." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Hey, guys, I tried to catch you." "I was parked around the corner, just waiting for you to get home." "You have keys." "Keys?" "No, I don't." "Yeah." "You have our extra keys." "Oh, that's right." "I forgot." "How was lunch?" "Lunch was good. (CHUCKLES)" "Margaret and Shakur are really good cooks." "So am I, you know." "Yeah, I know." "But when was the last time we had dinner or lunch or ate a meal together?" "You've been too busy with Kathleen." "Not that I haven't been busy, too." "John and I have some things to do in the other room." "Amy, I'm sorry." "I didn't know you were coming to church and enen I saw the look on your face, it nearly killed me." "I hate disappointing you." "But it happens." "Parents disappoint their children sometimes and children disappoint their parents sometimes." "Maybe we both expect too much of each other." "Wait." "What are you getting at?" "I'm getting at..." "I think your mother is disappointed that you ran off and got married and that's my fault." "And I'm asking you to let her arrange some kind of wedding so she can get what she wants, her and Margaret and Nora." "I just wanted to see you married." "I don't think I had to actually seeouou say "I do" or anything like that." "Or I thought I didn't, but maybe they need that, the women." "So, you think you could think about doing that?" "Maybe some time real soon?" "Well, I don't know about some time real soon, but I could think about that." "We are thinking about that." "I just told Margaret today that we didn't want to say yes to her and no to my mom, and yes to my mom and no to her, so she said we'd all get together to figure something out" "and we'll include Nora, too." "And you, if you want." "You and..." "You, if you want." "Thank you, Amy." "I really appreciate it." "And, uh, I feel kind of stupid about this whole Kathleen thing." "I've been over there like I'm the new dad or something and I'm not." "I'm not married to Kathleen and Grace and Tom are pretty much adults." "But I do hope that things will work out for Kathleen and me and I hope you'll be okay with that." "Yeah, I'm sure I will be." "At some point." "If it'll speed things up, I could agree to just not take Kathleen to the wedding and your mom could agree not to take a date so it will be just, you know, your mom and me and not Ashley." "That'd be perfect, huh?" "No, not really." "That would be peecectly selfish." "I really need to grow up here." "My son is going to be three years old this year and I'm still acting like a three-year-old." "You and Mom should do whatever you want." "She should bring a date if she wants to bring a date and you should bring Kathleen." "Even if that means bringing along Grace and Tom." "Because I just got married and getting married means being in a family and our family seems to be getting bigger and bigger and I just need to accept that." "Did you?" "Did you just get married?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Of course we did." "(SIGHS)" "I don't know why I asked that." "I guess it's just hitting me that you're married." "There's been so much talk about a wedding," "I keep forgetting there's been a wedding." "Yeah." "But we're okay with another one with our family and friends, as long as it's small, nothing too big." "So, are you going to say your vows again or is it just a reception or something?" "'Cause I think I'd kind of like to hear you say "I do."" "And "I do."" "Just for the mothers." "But that would really be my only request." "Other than that, I'll just show up." "Yeah, okay, if that's okay with Amy." "We'll say the vows again." "Yeah, sure." "It's okay." "Okay, well..." "Sorry about this morning, kiddo." "Yeah, thanks, Dad." "All right, I'll see you." "Maybe we can all get together sometime." "Yeah, maybe." "Sometime." "Text me." "Okay." "What's up with him?" "I'm not sure." "You don't think he came and left?" "You don't think he saw that video?" "No." "I don't think he's that clever." "He's still my dad." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'm all right." "I love you." "You know that, right?" "Right." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Hi." "Oh, hi, Jack." "I just put all the food away in the refrigerator." "I actually made a big lunch for everyone in case you came home from church with Grace." "I messed that up." "Yeah." "Well, she's out in the guest house." "I wanted to talk to you before I talk to Grace." "Why's that?" "I think I might want to ask Grace to marry me." "No." "If you're asking for my permission, no, you don't have my permission." "She's too young and you're too crazy." "To even get engaged?" "Yeah." "To even get engaged." "I don't want Grace thinking she has to get engaged or be married to feel okay about having sex with you." "And I don't want her using church or religion to say no to you." "I want Grace to grow up and I want you to grow up." "You've both been bouncing back and forth for years now and I don't think you've spent enough time together to decide if you should be together the rest of your lives." "And as far as..." "I think that if you and Grace want to have sex, then that's up to you and Grace." "But I expect you to use condoms," "I expect Grace to go back on the pill, and I expect you to not make that decision too quickly, because I don't want you guys to be together because the sex is good." "I want you to be together because you love each other." "I'm sorry, my head is spinning." "Grace doesn't want to have sex with you right now and I don't want you to lure her into that kind of relationship by telling her that you want to marry her." "I want you to just take your time, get to know each other without having sex and then when and if the time is right, then do whatever you both want to do and whatever you both think is right." "Okay?" "It all sounds so easy." "Yeah." "But it never is." "(TELEPHONE RINGING)" "Excuse me, I need to take this." "Hi." "GEORGE:" "Can I come over?" "Of course." "(SIGHS)" "Whatever it is, everything is going to be fine." "Am I supposed to go now?" "Could you, Tom?" "I need to talk to Grace." "Do whatever you want, Tom." "I'm not talking to him." "I'm out." "How could you?" "I was trying to make you as crazy as I am." "What?" "I can't stand the thought of you having another guy around." "Not again, I can't." "And I can't pretend like I don't care." "Because I do." "And yes, I want to sleep with you but yes, I won't ask again." "Meaning?" "I'm all yours if you'll have me." "And I love you enough to do whatever you want, or not do whatever you don't want." "Thank you, God." "I got to go." "Shakur's waiting on me." "All right." "I just wanted to show you my grandmother's car." "It's cool, huh?" "Yeah." "And you're cool, too." "Okay, are you going to kiss me or not?" "Or not." "All right, fine." "(CHUCKLES)" "Oh." "No, it was nice." "It made me laugh because it made me happy." "Not funny happy?" "Happy happy." "God." "Her, too." "She kicked me." "Do you want to feel?" "Uh, maybe some other time." "I think the kiss was enough for a first date." "(CAR HONKING)"
