The Secret Life of the American Teenager s01e02 Episode Script

Previously on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" You're only young once.
You should be having a little fun.
You've got something more exciting than Mark Molina? I had sex.
You don't think I could ever forget the night we spent together at band camp, do ya? I'm 15, you're 16.
I think it's gonna be a while.
We're gonna save what's meant for marriage for marriage.
You two, you don't? You have a right to be angry.
Your father did steal your childhood by sexually abusing you.
Jack, yeah, I know who you are.
The guy that's not having sex with his girlfriend.
Come on, call her.
I'll call her.
Um, can I talk to the two of you alone? For you.
It's a guy.
You have a boyfriend? Is that what you're trying to tell us? Kinda my first date.
Yeah, it's, uh, kinda my first date, too.
Idiots falling in love.
Should we dance? So, where's your boyfriend? He just stepped outside to get some air.
So you gonna tell him about us? Do you want me to? Please? Grace.
OK.
Talk to you later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Oh, you're welcome.
Anytime.
- OK.
- OK.
I'm such an idiot.
"OK.
" "OK.
" Where were you this weekend? I was gonna come over, but I wasn't sure what was going on.
Did you tell them? Tell them? Did you tell your parents about you know? No.
Why not? Because I figure I have two options - One, to tell them and ruin the rest of my life, the other, to pretend like it never happened, so I'm going with "never happened.
" Well, Amy, unfortunately, it did happen, - and you're gonna have to - - Never happened.
Amy Never happened.
People know.
OK, people only know that Amy had sex with Ricky.
??? what happened at the party after the game? Oh, right.
You were there.
Yeah, I was there.
What happened? Adrian, the majorette, was supposed to meet me there.
Then I find out she's kissing some cheerleader's boyfriend in front of everyone.
What cheerleader? Grace.
Oh, right.
That cheerleader.
Yeah, yeah, I heard.
You know Grace's mom is my dad's ex-wife? Oh, no kidding.
You two don't look anything alike.
It was a joke, like I thought you were sisters or something.
You're not sisters? No, we're not related.
Yeah, I get that.
Anyway, I can't believe that happened.
I mean, not that we were in a relationship.
We're just friends, Adrian and me, but still.
Everything's more complicated than it seems.
Yeah, I guess, but I'm not exactly the kind of guy who gets cheated on, you know? No.
No, I don't know.
So, do you wanna do something tonight? Do something? Don't get excited.
I meant do something, like go somewhere and talk.
You and I are friends, too, right? Actually, I'm seeing someone.
Who are you seeing? Is it that little geek who wants to be me? Why do that when you could be out with the real thing? As a friend, of course.
Of course.
Thank you for offering, Ricky, but I'm really not interested.
Whoa.
Who are you not to be interested in me? Rejected again? Maybe you should consider going for someone more like yourself.
Oh, sooner or later, you know you're gonna forgive me, so come on.
Come over tonight and let me apologize to you in person.
I can't.
I have things to do.
You can't be serious.
You can't be interested in that child.
You know, some girls do it without broadcasting it to the whole school.
Some girls are more discreet about their sex life than you are.
Some girls have class.
And you're referring to that little French horn player who looks like she's 12 and has never been kissed? I don't think she has a sex life.
She has nothing to be discreet about.
And I don't know if she has class.
She's just a band geek.
Wait, do you know something? Am I wrong? Is she not just a band geek? You cannot pretend like this isn't happening.
Yes, I can.
It's better than the plan you two came uwith.
Here he comes.
Maybe you should just tell him.
You guys can tell your parents together.
No, don't even think about doing that.
Just talk to your parents first.
Yeah.
Bye, girls.
I wanna talk to your friend alone.
You havin' some sort of memory problem? Can't remember the locker combination? Can't remember what happened just six weeks, a couple of months ago? Nothing happened.
OK, it wasn't that great, but you were a little nervous, and that's understandable.
It'll get better.
It's OK.
I told you, I'm seeing someone.
Grace, are you OK? I just don't feel that well.
You were fine this morning.
No, I wasn't fine.
I thought I could get through this, but I can't.
I feel completely humiliated.
Please, Mom, please, can you just take me home? Don't you have a test today? Algebra.
It was first period.
I aced it.
I'm sure you did.
Because you are a very smart young woman.
Maybe with schoolwork.
I'm not that smart when it comes to men,obviously.
Grace I know that you're smart enough to realize that Jack not the guy for you.
No, I'm not.
That's just the thing.
I still love him, and I hate her.
I know I'm not supposed to hate anyone, but I hate her.
You know a lot of women react to men cheating like that.
The guy cheats, and instead of blaming him, they blame her.
They forgive him and never her.
Her after her after her.
Well, he didn't cheat on me, exactly.
He just kissed her in front of the whole school.
Or let her kiss him.
I mean, what guy wouldn't? You've seen her.
Grace Maybe it's not his fault, and maybe it's not even her fault.
Maybe it's my fault.
Because you won't have sex with him? I mean, do you think that gives him reason to kiss someone else? Hey, man, I only scored 80 on my paper you wrote.
I know.
So? I took your abilities into account and decided to dumb down the essay a little.
I'm lookin' for believability here, man, or else I'm out of business.
for you.
Great.
Thanks, man.
Idiot.
Do you think they were doing anything more than kissing? The point is Jack is not good enough for you.
He can't be trusted, OK? Hey.
I heard you were sick.
Are you OK? You gonna go home? Hi, Mrs.
Bowman.
She's just fine, Jack.
We forgot about a dental appointment.
You know, just a little teeth cleaning? You know how important it is to have clean teeth.
We should go.
Yeah, I gotta go, too.
Can you believe that? Yes, honey, actually, I can, because he's a careless guy, and you don't need a careless guy, OK? Let's go get a cup of coffee, and then I'll bring you back for cheer practice.
What did you tell the nurse was wrong with you? I didn't have to tell her anything.
Everyone just heard, even her.
So Iust sa I wanted to go home.
OK.
He is kind of careless.
Kind of? Now just rember, honey, you should neither judge him nor feel sorry for him, 'K? Just let this one go.
Let's go.
Advertising? What? Oh, Lord.
I don't know what the Lord has to do with your zipper, but you're welcome.
Hey, wait up.
Where's your girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend, not yet, anyway.
Maybe if you wanted to apologize I thought about it, but I really don't owe you an apology for anything.
You know, since we're not even gng out or anything.
We're just friends.
I can do anything I want.
Still, you offered to apologize.
It was a one-time-only offer.
You shouldn't have stood me up.
So were you with that Amy girl, the one in the band? I didn't stand you up, you stood me up.
Or you were late, anyway, and, no, I was not with Amy.
I was only with her the one time.
I don't believe you.
I'm telling you the truth.
So where were you that night? I was not with Amy.
What are you, my wife? I answer to you now? I was at home with my foster parents.
I couldn't get out of the house.
Foster parents are twice as tough as real parents.
Believe me, I know.
I've bounced from one foster home to another.
Jack probably thinks he's going to hell now.
Yeah, well, it's not like I made Jack do something he didn't wanna do.
No, it's like - it's like you took advantage of him.
What went on with you two before that kiss? Something.
What, I answer to you now? He told the guys in the locker room, they told their girlfriends.
One of them already told me.
I don't really care.
What kind of guy brags about this stuff? Uh, you told me about Amy Juergens.
Yeah? Nice touch - the gloves.
He has pinkeye.
Your butler insisted on it.
And if he didn't insist? We'd all have pinkeye.
I see.
Anyway, so you take the sour cream and onion chip, you dip it in the plain sour cream, and it tastes just like onion dip.
It's delicious.
Try it.
I think it's just that chips and dip taste better when they're served out of silver bowls.
I've never had a chip that wasn't straight out of the bag.
My dad thinks we should use all the silver stuff we have, even if we don't know what it's for.
I agree with your dad.
We should.
Don't do that.
I'll smack you.
Oh, he's just reminding you that we haven't used any of the china or silver or anything since my mom died.
Yeah, I know that.
Henry.
I thought that maybe you forgot.
It's healthy.
It's healthy to move on, Ben.
It's been a long time.
Five years is a long time.
Yeah.
It is.
Believe me, it feels longer than five years.
Time passes real slow when you're a kid.
It's starting to speed up a little, though.
Guess I'm getting older, maturing.
Maybe I'll get married soon, have a kid, start a little family band.
What? I think you're too young to be having those thoughts.
You can't just fall in love with the first girl you go out with and marry her.
And have a family band with her? Why not? Isn't that what you're supposed to do? More than half of all marriages end in divorce.
The younger you are when you get married, the more likely you are to get divorced.
My dad married the first girl he ever dated.
They were 18.
That's different.
That was in the '80s.
Everyone was coked out and disco dancing.
No one really knew what they were doing.
My parents never did coke.
Disco, yeah.
Regardless, my point is, you should see other girls.
I just started seeing this one, the one that you picked out for me.
She's perfect.
I love her.
Something's going on.
What's going on? All right, look, I'm a straight shooter, so let me just tell you.
You've got competion.
Ha.
What, that total loser Ricky? Tricky Ricky? He's no competition.
They slept together.
What? What - no - My little Amy would never - Wait, she slept with him? Slept, as in had sex? That's what I heard.
I don't care.
Yeah, you do.
I know you.
You don't know me if you think that would stop me from marrying my Amy and starting a band with her.
Who told you this? It's all over school.
Oh, and that makes it true? What percentage of gossip is true? I don't know.
Well, I know it's not 100%.
That guy, Ricky,is probably telling people he slept with her hoping it'd get back to me.
He's totally jealous of me.
OK.
Well, maybe there's a reason he's jealous of you.
Like maybe they did sleep together? At band camp.
Now you've got details? That's everything I know.
I'm gonna call her and ask her.
Not a bad idea.
You two are idiots.
I bet it's just a rumor.
I bet it's not.
I hope I'm wrong.
20? You're on.
Hey! How are ya? Um, I'm fine.
You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
I hope you know what you're doin'.
Am I doing something wrong in band practice? Did I get in your way or something? No, you didn't get in my way.
Look, if you're interested in Ricky, I won't go out with him.
I'll back off.
You know, I'm really not into stealing anyone's boyfriend.
I wasn't interested in taking Jack away from Grace.
He came to me.
I'm no-no-no- I'm not interested in Ricky.
All right.
That's not what I heard, but No, I heard that you were interested in him before I was, so No.
Hi.
Amy, it's me - Ben.
Hi.
Oh, I already said that.
Um, anyway, uh, I was wondering There's this rumor going around school that, uh, you and Ricky dated this summer or something.
Uh, not that it makes any difference.
I- I was just wondering.
Is that true? OK, you know what? I have no way of calling back this message, which I wish I'd never sent.
It doesn't matter.
I don't care.
And it's none of my business, none of my business at all.
It's your business.
And our business started the day that we met.
OK.
Talk to you later.
I hope.
If I don't hear back from you, I'll call again, and i-if you don't answer, I'll see you tomorrow at school.
OK.
Uh, and again, I- I don't even know why I asked.
OK.
Bye.
Oh, call me.
Please? You were right.
This was a really bad idea.
We have to go now.
Idiot.
At least I didn't say she slept with him.
I said she dated him.
At least.
Let's go already.
Hi.
Amy, it's me - Ben.
Hi.
Oh, I already said that.
Um, anyway, uh, I was wondering, there's this rumor going around school that you and Ricky Never happened! Hey.
Hey, watch it.
That's my livelihood.
Are you telling people that we did something? What? What's goin' on? Are you? Something? Am I telling people we did something? No, I'm not.
Are you telling people we did something? No.
Really? You didn't tell your two girlfriends, and your two girlfriends didn't tell anyone? Madison says she's been trying to call you on your cell phone.
I'm trying to study.
Don't just barge in to my room like that, OK? I have the right to privacy.
Man, you're such a dork.
And what do you need all the privacy for, anyway? I mean, what, are you writing little secret love poems to your boyfriend or something? Hello? It's the other one, the snob.
I can't talk.
M- My parents are making me study.
Just stop c-calling me.
Well, what is this? You're lying? You don't lie.
You never lie.
When you do, your face turns bright red, you get little beads of sweat on your forehead, and if it's a really big lie, you start stuttering again.
So you're lying.
Why would you be lying to your two BFFs, anyway? I'm just t-trying study, OK? Yeah, OK.
Hey, whatever happened to that Ben guy? Oh, wait, is the fight about Ben? What, are they, like, jealous or something? It's not about anything, all right? We're not even having a fight, and I'm not stuttering.
You're sweating.
B- Bye.
Hey, hey, hey, what do you think, hon? This is a recliner.
Rocks, reclines.
Put some wheels on it.
Now it goes back and forth.
I think I invented something.
Is that why you're late? no.
I, um, was gonna close at six, but a couple of chicks came into the store.
I couldn't get rid of 'em.
They just bought a house.
In this market? So you know they got plenty of dough.
Do we? Do we what? Have plenty of dough? Why? I was just wondering.
Don't wonder.
It's a waste of time.
I think worry is a waste of time.
I don't know about wonder.
You may be right.
I wonder if there's something for me to eat in here.
George, I want to go to see our accountant.
I want to make sure we have enough put away?? for Amy and Ashley to go to college.
Ashley? We'll be lucky if she goes to high school.
Is that an option? I don't have to go to high school? Of course you have to go to high school.
And college.
Why don't you go make that sandwich? And get that hybrid out of here, please.
You're worried about money, and I'm wheelin' out our nest egg.
Lotta phone calls tonight.
Yeah? What about home schooling? Sure.
Just you and me and a bunch of schoolbooks for eight hours.
Every day.
For four years.
Maybe I could go to school in Europe? Yeah, let's see how well that chair does.
So, the phone calls.
Everything OK with Amy, Madison and Lauren? I don't know.
Was everything OK with Larry, Curly and Moe? Yeah! Just - Hi, Dr.
Bowman.
I was wondering if I might speak with Grace? Speak with Grace about what, exactly? I just wanna talk to her.
Yeah.
You called her cell phone, you called the house, you even resorted to calling her brother.
She doesn't wanna talk to you, Jack.
Why don't you buy a vowel, go home? I have to talk to her.
I can't not talk to her.
I I love her.
I made a mistake, but I do love her.
Didn't you ever make a mistake? Excuse me? Look, I promise, it won't happen again.
Oh, no, no, Jack, I think it will happen again.
It was just a kiss.
Really? - ?? - ??My wife seems to think that, and my daughter seems to think that, but I'm not buying it, Jack.
?? Aren't we all Christians here? Aren't you supposed to forgive? ??All I'm askin' for is a little forgiveness.
All right, and exactly what will you be asking for after you get your forgiveness, Jack? Look, do yourself a very big favor, OK? Go home before I pummel you.
I thought you were a Christian.
That's right, I'm a Christian, so first, I will smite you, then I will pummel you.
Go home.
Smite? I heard that.
Was that Jack? - Yeah.
- What did he want? ??He said he wanted forgiveness but I have a feeling what he really wanted was you.
Really? Yes, really, and I'm not saying that in a good way, Gracie.
Is that why you gave me this ring, you and Mom, because you don't trust me? No.
Sweetheart, we trust you.
??We don't trust Jack or any other boy you might wanna date.
Because? Because they're teenage guys in high school.
??Teenage guys in high school are only interested in one thing, sweetheart, and that's sex.
I think that's unfair.
- OK.
- OK, what? It's OK that you think my assessment of the situation is unfair.
I think I know a little bit more about this than you do, but -?? Then again, you think you know more about everything?? ??because you're a doctor.
Yes, I am a doctor ??who happened to once be a teenage boy in high school, so, yeah, I do think I know a little more about this than you.
??Listen, I realize you're upset, but do not talk to me that way.
I think it would be wise of you to stay away from Jack altogether.
And if I don't wanna stay away from Jack? I suppose your mother and I will have to re-evaluate whether or not we think you're old enough to make your own decisions.
I'm almost 16, Dad.
I know that you're almost 16 years old.
I was there.
I'm older than you.
I'm always gonna be older than you.
??Because of that, I'm gonna know a little bit more than you, whether you're 16 or 60.
That's just how it works.
I'm at a loss here.
I can't figure out why in the world you would even wanna see Jack again, especially considering the pain and suffering he put you through this week.
I think you ought to go upstairs and think about that.
And while you're at it, think about why in the world you would wanna put yourself through any more public humiliation at school.
Then you and I can talk about it, tomorrow, but please don't put me in the position to have to make up your mind for you simply because you don't think enough of yourself.
Sweetheart, do you know the number one killer of women young and old??? That HPV thing? No, it's not that HPV thing.
It's low self-esteem.
??And those teenage boys out there know that, and they use it against you and for them, so you, you, just - you you beware, young lady.
Grace, I think in all of that parental wisdom, I might've forgotten to tell you how much I love you.
I love you so much.
Good night.
??I love you, too.
But I love Jack, too.
You don't have to go.
My mom's not coming home.
She's a flight attendant, so she's in, like, Denver or somewhere.
Fosters, rember??? I have to go.
It's a law or something.
But that was great.
Well, do you want some pizza or something? No.
Thanks, anyway.
come on.
Can't you just stay a little while? I can't.
Really, I'm gonna have to explain where I was, as it is.
You're beautiful.
You know that? I'll call you later, OK? Yeah, if you want.
If I want? Of course I want.
Good night.
Please.
Please stay.
I hate being here by myself.
I can't.
I'd like to, but I can't.
I'm sorry.
- All right, go.
- Don't do that.
Don't make me feel bad for doing what I'm supposed to do.
If I don't go home, my fosters will report me to social services, and I'll be kicked back into the system.
I'll have to change schools, and we'll never see each other again, because I'll be in juvie or something.
Is that true? Yes, it's true.
OK, but call me.
We can talk on the phone all night.
Yeah, I'll call ya.
Of course I'll call ya.
Bye.
Bye.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
I left you a message before.
Just ignore it.
So what are you doing this weekend? Do you wanna go to the museum on Saturday? They're have a showing of the History of Musical Instruments.
I bet my cymbals beat your French horn on the timeline, huh? Where did you hear that? Am I wrong? The cymbals came after the French horn? No.
Who told you I had anything to do with that creep? What? Oh, no one.
OK, someone had to have told you.
Is it all around school or something? No.
Someone had just pointed out to me that maybe this guy - Mickey, Dickie, Ricky, whatever - was jealous for a reason.
A reason like I did something with him? What? No.
Ah.
I didn't say that.
I said dated.
Please, please, let's just forget it.
I don't care, whatever it is.
I mean, I care about you, so whatever you did or didn't do, it doesn't matter, because you're Amy Juergens, the girl that I love.
we had one date.
One date and a thousand phone calls.
And sure, maybe it's a little early for me to proclaim my love for you, but I plead special circumstances.
OK, well don't feel obligated to reciprocate.
It's totally not necessary.
OK.
I love you, too.
- You do? - Yeah.
That's great, you know.
Now we can start saying it all the time.
Well, maybe not all the time, but we can say it when we hang up, you know, like grownups, like a real couple.
good night, Amy.
I love you.
Good night, Ben.
I love you, too.
good morning, Counselor.
Get outta my chair.
Oh, sorry.
I just grew tired of waiting and thought perhaps I could get a different perspective if I looked at things from your side.
Yeah, move.
Don't you recognize a cry for help when you see one? It's 7:30 in the morning.
I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet.
I don't recognize anyone or anything.
What kind of guy doesn't stop in for a nonfat soy latte on his way to work? Kind of guy that refuses to spend five bucks on a cup of coffee when he's trying to survive off a teacher's salary.
May I suggest buying a coffee pot? Oh, perhaps a French press.
May I suggest you tell me what help you need so I can go down to the teachers' lounge, grab a free cup of coffee I don't have to make myself? Oh, sure.
Or I could wait, if you wanna run down there.
Tempting, but then I'd be leaving you in here alone.
Come on, what is it? What's the problem, music man? I think you know what my problem is.
Maybe.
People are talking about my woman.
They're saying she was cavorting with the drummer at band camp one summer's eve.
I heard that, but I doubt it.
Yeah, me too, so I asked her.
What did you do that for? I don't know.
I thought she'd deny it.
She didn't deny it.
Not exactly.
??She probably didn't feel it deserved a denial.
I felt so horrible about asking her that I told her I love her.
It's a little early for that, don't you think? Yeah.
No.
I do love her, I think.
It just bothers me a teeny-tiny little bit that maybe, just maybe, there was a possibility that something might've happened between her and this Ricky guy.
OK, here's the thing - and this is way outside the realm of things we're supposed to be talking about as counselor and student - but whatever a woman does before she meets you is none of your business.
Yeah, I know.
I even told her that.
But then I thought, "If she had killed someone, I'd wanna know about it.
"?? She didn't kill anyone.
I wish she had killed someone.
That I would admire, if it was someone horrible, like Hitler.
She didn't kill Hitler or anyone like Hitler.
Your point being? My point being that you can only deal with what is.
And what is is that you love this girl, and you don't know for sure that she slept with Ricky, and even if she did, she probably feels shame and embarrassment and wishes she never had, because now she's found somebody that actually cares about her.
Yeah.
See, I knew you'd know just what to say.
Thank you.
Hey, and all that without the caffeine.
Maybe you oughta kick that addiction.
I don't believe in addiction.
I believe in willpower, plain old-fashioned willpower.
If I wanted to give it up, I'd give it up.
I don't wanna give it up.
Interesting.
I'm sure.
See ya.
Thanks.
I owe you.
Amy? Leave me alone.
We're your best friends.
??Were your parents really making you study, or did you have, like, a fight or something? I didn't wanna talk to you.
Well, that's rude.
Why not? What, just telling the whole school I had sex with Ricky? - No.
- No.
??He says you did.
Ricky says we told people the two of you had sex? ??That's ridiculous.
Why would we do that? ??Why would we want people to know that? I mean, that's insane.
I mean, who gossips about sex? Ricky told you that we were telling people that? Wait.
Were you puking in there? Yeah, that's what he implied.
He is so disgusting.
You know, I hate it when people blame other people for for other things and try and tear friends apart.
Yeah, I mean, it was probably him who was saying that you two had sex.
I mean, you know how he is.
He wants everyone to think he's, like, the big sex guy.
And he's just a big liar.
So you guys didn't say anything? I think you know us a little better than that.
I'm sorry.
You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.
You guys are my best friends, and he's totally the type of guy that would do something like that.
You know, he better stop.
He better stop right now or or my boyfriend's gonna have a word with him.
Boyfriend? Ben's officially your boyfriend now? Yeah.
Heh-heh.
Last night, he told me that he loves me.
Really? Great.
Anyways, gotta get this back to the band room and then go find Ben.
Bye.
OK, you didn't say anything to anyone about her and Ricky, did you? I mean, other than Ben's best friends.
Wait.
OK, that was me.
But you didn't say anything to anyone else, right? No.
Did you Well not about the baby.
Neither did I.
Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
Hey, you, I can't believe you told him.
I didn't tell him anything.
Like you wouldn't tell Amy if you knew something about Ben like that.
Well, do you know anything about Ben like that? Oh, like Ben got laid? It doesn't make any difference, OK.
Ben apparently doesn't care if Amy had some one-night fling with the drummer boy.
He's above all that.
As long as it wasn't more than that.
It wasn't more than that.
You think it was more than that? What could be more than that? And if it was more than that, we don't wanna know, and we don't want Ben to know.
Right.
Ignorance is bliss.
Sorry.
By the time I got home last night, my battery was dead on my cell phone.
Yeah? And my dog ate my homework.
Oh, come on.
You're not mad at me.
Yeah, I am mad at you.
Made you lunch.
You made me lunch? ??A sandwich.
A piece of ham between two slices of bread.
It's nothin'.
And chips? You think a ham sandwich and a bag of chips is going to make up for a big fat lie about not calling me after sleeping with me? I didn't wanna be on the phone all night.
Hey, look who's capable of being honest.
I'm capable of a lot of things, even having a girlfriend.
Jack.
Jack.
Hi.
Hi.
I think we should talk.
I came by your house last night.
Yeah, I know.
Your dad really hates me.
No, he doesn't.
And I don't, either.
I don't hate you.
Guess that's a start.
My dad doesn't think we should be going out with each other, and, well, maybe he's right.
Maybe he's wrong.
I made a mistake.
If God can forgive me, why can't you? I can.
If it was just a kiss, I can.
What did you think it was? I don't know.
Was it anything more than a kiss? Did you do anything else with her? - Like what? - I don't know.
Did you have sex with her? What? No.
Oral sex? Grace,?? don't let your imagination run wild.
It happened right after we talked about that.
Come on.
I don't even know her.
You think I'd let her do something like that? Don't you think more of me than that? All right.
I guess I believe you.
But still, you embarrassed me in front of the whole school.
If I didn't have such high self-esteem, we wouldn't be having this conversation now.
?? I'm really sorry.
??Can we go out tonight? Go out? No.
Why not? We can't just go out.
I have to talk to my parents.
I don't know if they'll let me go out with you tonight or any night.
Can I call you? Are you gonna take my calls now? - I guess.
- You guess? - I have to talk to my parents.
- ??Talk to your parents.
I will, but I think they're gonna need a little more time.
And so do I.
How much time? You cheated on me.
I apologized for that.
Are you gonn make me keep apologizing our entire lives together because I was stupid and kissed another girl? Maybe.
I was weak.
I was tempted, I gave in, but Grace, I swear, that's never gonna happen again.
And if it did, I would I don't know, I would I would smite myself.
Yeah, your dad said he was gonna smite me.
That's what he said.
Let's just leave my dad out of this.
Love to.
Look, what happened is never gonna happen again.
I wanna believe that, but I don't know if I do.
I think you're kind of obsessed with sex.
Since when? Since I put this ring on my finger and promised I wouldn't have sex until I get married.
??It did kind of upset me.
??I wasn't even part of the decision.
It's my decision.
Before I talk my parents into letting us see each other again, you have to promise me you will never pressure me into having sex with you.
Not that you could.
I respect myself, and I expect you to respect me.
All right, I respect you.
Just promise me you're not gonna make me wait ten years or something.
There's not a time limit, Jack.
I can't make you that promise.
All I can promise is that I'm willing to go back out with you with the aforementioned conditions.
And if you get permission from your parents? Yes, if I get permission.
Then get permission.
Hi.
hi.
I was looking for you.
I was looking for you, too.
- About last night - About last night Yeah.
I hope I didn't pressure you into saying something you didn't mean.
I know it's early for me to bringing up the "L" word.
You weren't gonna say that? No.
Um I was thinking that maybe we should talk about, you know, what you heard about me, if you want to.
What, the thing with the drummer? Forget about it.
Really, it's none of my business.
?? I don't wanna know about any other guy that's ever been in your life.
I I don't think I could take it.
So as far as me telling you what I told you not too early? Heh.
I don't know.
I I've never had a boyfriend, ever.
Well, I've never had a girlfriend, ever, in case you were wondering about my past.
Oh, I wasn't, but - Where's the French horn? Oh, I left it in the band room.
??I've been thinking about getting a tutor ??so I can get in the band quicker.
??Not that I'm jealous of anyone in the band, I just Love me? Yeah.
