The Secret Life of the American Teenager s01e08 Episode Script

Previously on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" I can't imagine not seeing you every day, being with you through all this.
I wanna do this all alone.
I'm going to my grandmother.
I don't wanna say goodbye because I don't want you to leave.
How can you be angry with a guy who you despite the fact that you're pregnant by another guy? Are you seeing Adrian's mother? You're the boyfriend? You stay away from my daughter and you keep your mouth shut about me and Adrian's mom.
We're not friends because your boyfriend and I hooked up.
I've forgiven him.
What do you even want to talk about? I think I do wanna be involved.
Don't even know why I did this.
Maybe it's because I asked if you wanted to be friends.
You need me around here! I'm not so sure that I want to fix our marriage.
Perfectly capable of speaking for myself! Since when? Since I discovered that I am going to have to take charge of another human being's life! I might as well just start with my own.
Mimsy! Oh, Amy.
Ohh.
y.
Ohh.
- Good morning, sweet pea.
- Good morning.
I was talking to the baby.
Oh, please, now, no shame.
Not a moment of shame.
Not with me, because I am so proud of you.
You are a wonderful girl.
You are a wonderful girl.
So you're going to have a baby.
So what? Who cares? Life must have wanted another beautiful creature on this planet.
Who knows life's plan? We don't know how this is all gonna turn out, whether it's gonna to be good thing or a bad thing, so don't worry about it.
Not a bit.
Oh, and thank you.
Thank you for letting your mother call me and tell me.
Oh, no, Mimsy, thank you so much for letting me stay with you.
- Mom? - Oh, hi.
Um, I got up at four and rushed down here 'cause I couldn't wait to see my Amy.
But I thought I was gonna drive Amy up to you.
Well, I'm not a planner, you know I'm not a planner.
And either or you.
And either or you.
Obviously you take afttar and me.
What's going on? - Ashley.
- Hey, Mimsy.
Little Ashley.
I didn't know you were coming, but no one tells me anything.
If anyone had told me that someone in the family was gonna be pregnant as a teenager, I would have said it was you.
Yeah, well, um, is that bacon? Yes, it is.
The rehing.
Thick cut.
I brought it from home just for your father.
Where is he? Um, I-I told you.
They don't tell me anything.
Uh, he had to go to a furniture thing, um, in North Carolina.
North Carolina? Like George ever bought furniture made in this country.
Come on.
Where is he? In North Carolina.
He buys a lot of furniture in North Carora, Mother.
But he should be back by tonight if you can stay.
Oh, sure.
We can take off in the morning, right? I guess.
Tomorrow? Can't you stay for like a week? A week? Ashley, your grandmother ah no?? word, dear.
Mimsy doesn't have her things to stay for a week.
Probably not even for a night.
You know.
Why not.
We can pick up some things at the mall, and then we'll go during the school hours so that you won't run into any of those stupid teenage girls.
I guess.
Mom, the thing is Amy's already say goodbye to her friends, and I think she really wanted to get out of here today.
She didn't say goodbye to Milanilli.
So how are Madison and Lauren? I said goodbye to them.
No, you didn't, not person.
Did too.
You know, you're acting very strange, And you're not a good liar.
Socome on, come on, give me straight poop now.
You and George are not No, we're not.
We're fine.
We're very happy.
But we'll all be a lot happier when he gets back bCalina.

Then stop looking for her everywhere you look.
How? Just stop, otherwise you're gonna make yourself miserable.

Get used to it.
That's what love feels like - misery.
No, it's the aencece of love.
That's what the aencece of love feels like - misery.
?? start focusing something else? Like? Like school.
Don't forget you come there to get education.
Focus on your education.
It's an interesting idea.
But I can't focus on anythg but Amy, every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
What's the point in doing that to that yourself? And don't say you can't help it.
You can help it.
Right.
Only I I think that if I keep picturing her, then she'll maybe again.
And that could happen that she could come back to school.
Ben, she could come back, but most geils like Amy go intoion program, where they go to smaller classes nother school with other grils having babies.
So even if she decided to stay at home with her parents, more than likely she'd go into the continuation program.
It's not likely that she'd come back here.
He gets to sohool every day as if nothing happened.
That's right.
No, that's wrong.
That's just It's wrong.
Would you just focus on something else? You have to focus on something else.
Choose what you think about , don't think about Amy.
every second of every hour of every day.
You'll go crazy.
It's ???.
You just sound carzy.
She's not coming back to schoot there, Ben.
Wow.
Unsensitive, don't you think? Truthful.
Yeah, but what is the truth? I mean, the truth is, it could happen.
She could come back to school.
Ben Ben! I'm sorry.
I just hate to see you do this to yourself first year of high school.
And what are you doing to yourself? You have anyone in your life, or are you just too scared to being miserable to get involved? Why rather be miserable and involved? That just me.
Great.
That went great.

Hello.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Cindy, is that you? Cindy? Cindy who? Uh, Cindy.
Cindy Lou.
I-I told you I'd call you when the bunk beds got in.
I know you wanted to surprise little Tommy for his birthday, but I don't think they'll be here in time.
George You know what? Get that kid a puppy.
That's what he really wants.
Got a customer.
Gotta go.
Hi.
Hi.
It's me.
- Me who? - George.
Anna? Is that you? Why you wi??? Because my's here.
Mimsy? Really? She wanna see nn She doesn't know you're not living here.
I told her that you're in North Carolina.
That's just great.
So don't drop by here until I've called and told you she's left.
So you'll let me know when your mother's taken our daughter away? Gimme a break.
She's gonna be two hours away.
You can visit her anytime you want.
Yeah, when I get back from North Carolina.
Hey, it's me.
You know I hate to ask, but I really need someone to talk to.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, did Dad get back from North Carolina yet? I don't wanna tell her,OK? Ta-da.
You remember this one? That's mine, isn't it? Mm-hmm.
Mimsy brought it for me.
She said she has a lot of your stuff that might fit.
I didn't know that you saved that.
I loved that sweater.
Me too.
Do you remember when you wore it? Well, I don't remember if it was a special occasion, but I wore it a lot.
It was a long time ago.
You wore it when you were pregnant with Amy.
No, I don't think so.
I think I was in junior high.
No.
I remember you were wearing it when you told me that you were pregnant.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
I had that in college? I distinctly remember because I told you, as I've told Amy, that adoption is not an option.
You know, we're a big family.
I mean, we can take care of this baby.
You and George and me and even Ashley - we can take care of the baby.
Well, Mom, I don't know about that.
OK, we still have lots of time to think about what's right for Amy and for the baby.
Oh, well, we don't need any more time.
Amy and I have decided.
We don't want adoption.
We wanna keep the baby.
Amy, let's think about it, OK? There's still plenty of time to think about that.
No, Mom, this is my baby.
And, you know, I wanna keep her or him.
And Mimsy definitely agrees that Ben and I should get married and possibly go on a honeymoon to Paris? - A little wedding gift from Mimsy.
- Mm-hmm.
What? Well, he's a good boy.
You haven't even met him.
He's 15 years old, just like Amy.
They're both 15.
Oh, who cares how old they are? I do.
And so does George.
Well, George always agrees with me, so we'll wait till he gets home, and I'll talk with him.
You know, this house is plenty big enough for one more, and by is very tiny.
I mean, you only weighed 3 pounds.
No.
I weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces.
You were tiny.
You were very tiny.
Tsk, now, Amy, the baby can stay in here for the first year or two, and then, after that, we'll find something bigger, like a dresser drawer.
Ashley, can you call your dad to see ihe's landed yet? I don't know why I did it.
I've been married for 15 years.
She's needed me for the past 15 years.
She doesn't need me anymore.
She doesn't like me anymore.
Ignore that.
I'm an attractive guy, don't you think? I'm smart, funny.
I mean, why can't she see that? That's a lot to see.
Maybe too much for the eyes.
That's true.
So you still with that guy? - How long have I worked here? - Years.
And you don't know I'm still with that guy? No.
Yes, I'm still with that guy.
His name is Leon, and we're married, happily married.
10 years.
Ha-ha-ha.
I didn't know that.
Is that legal? A marriage is more than a piece of paper, George.
It's a commitment.
I know that.
So, you never? No.
He never did, either.
Hmm.
We have a guest room.
It's all yours if you want it.
Oh, thanks , I'm find.
Short commute.
In that case, I set the alarm for 7:00.
Good night.
Maybe I should be going.
You just got here.
Yeah, you just got here.
I'm just not comfortable talking with a third person listening in.
No offense.
Why don't you leave us alone, Grace? OK.
I know you wanted to talk to Ricky.
Women.
Huh, you can't live with them.
Can't live without 'em, yeah.
Is that what you wanted to talk to me about - women? Yeah.
My mother.
Your mother.
She was old.
She's not that old.
And between you and me, she's kinda hot.
You are confused.
I'm confused? I am adopted.
My mom died.
Go away.
It's me.
I just wanted to come and say goodbye in person.
See Mimsy.
Don't cry.
It's gonna be OK, all right? You look, uh, different.
Oh, I look like a slut, don't I? I am a slut.
Lauren and I got in a fight today at school.
Over? Ricky.
Wait.
Ricky? What? Well, it all started when Ricky tried to seduce me.
Ricky.
Hello.
He seduced you.
Why wouldn't he try to seduce me? Wait, Ricky's hitting on you and Lauren now? Well, not Lauren.
Although that would make her very happy.
I don't understand.
Lauren wants to go out with him? Well, not really.
OK, but you're dressed like this because you wanna go out with Ricky? OK, I'm over it.
It was just temporary insanity.
Lauren and I both wanted him to want us.
And not the both of us.
Like, I wanted him to want me, Lauren wanted him to want her.
Just got into this stupid competition.
I don't know why I would want a guy to want me when I know he's such a horrible guy.
I understand.
Believe me, I completely understand.
It's kinda how this whole thing happened.
I knew it was wrong, I knew he was wrong, and yet, I, uh And yet Where's Lauren? Her parents still won't let her come over here, so I figure she'll probably rove you aall after she figures I've left.
You're gonna call me, right, every day? Please don't cry, Amy.
I know you're sad dleaving, butint please don't cry.
dison, I'm not sad because of that.
I'm sad because I have no place to go.
Sorry.
Mm.
It's Lauren.
She probably wants to say goodbye.
Hey.
Hi.
Amy? I thought I called Madison.
Are you at Mimsy's? No.
There's been a little complication.
Oh.
Are you OK? - Not really.
- I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry my parents won't let me come over there.
Yeah, me too.
Uh, Madison said you guys were in a fight? ah.
We're both stupid.
I'm so sorry.
- So am I.
We should never let a guy that we don't even like come between us.
Even guys we do want.
Well, unless he's, like, a really hot celebrity.
Madison.
It's an extreme case that would never happen.
Friendship first.
I know, even though we're both desperate to get a boyfriend.
Well, it'll just happen when it happens.
I know someone who wants to go out with you.
You do? Have you ever considered dating my brother, who happens to be sitting right here listening to us talk? Hi, Madison.
It's me.
It's Jason.
Uh, I told Lauren it was completely unnecessary for her to ask you when I'm perfectly capable of asking you myself.
Really? Really.
By the way, I like the new you.
Ha.
Thanks.
I would love to go out with you.
Ha-ha.
OK, well, um, I'll call you later? OK.
Bye.
- Aah! - Oh, my God! I can't believe it.
Johnny Depp.
OK.
Alice, our next guess is Johnny Depp.
Oh, uh, he's married to some French woman apparently.
So? Well, obviously Alice doesn't go for married men.
Can't she just fantasize he's not married? Can't youNo.
- Brad Pitt.
- Brad Pitt.
Oh, "Ew.
" Uh, oh, Raymond.
Romano? No.
The guy in science class.
The kid with the good hair.
She hung up.
I don't get it.
I don't get why she has sex all by herself when she could have me.
You get it.
You do the same thing.
So do you.
I quit.
You can't quitn' Once you start, you can never quit.
You're just taking some time off.
No, I quit.
I'm in love with Amy Juergens.
I don't have anyone in particular.
I know I can make you laugh.
Amy was supposed to call me when she got to her grandmother's.
She'll call you.
I bet it's Shia LaBeouf.
Aw, please stop this.
It's shocking to me that she could put me off for this long.
No, it's just shocking to you how she's been putting you off for this long.
You ever think about having sex with Amy? Of course you think about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
She's already pregnant.
You and her could and We're gonna wait until we get married.
I love her that much.
Oh, yeah? Well, I love Alice that much.
And if she'd let me, I'd have sex with her tonight.
I came over here just to tell you that you're an idiot.
Why is that? Because I didn't know about your boyfriend or boynfriends? No.
Because I'm thinking about you.
I fantasize about you.
I have this whole story I think about where we're married and I'm in a wedding dress and we're in Paris, I'm on a balcony, and you rip the dress off.
Enough, enough.
I have to go now.
I have an algebra test tomorrow and my mother drove me over here, and she's waiting for me.
You werein the car with your mom while we were talking about who you fantasize about when you? Yeah.
She's my mother, and she's a therapist.
We talk about everything.
That's not right.
Well, look at the upside of things - she didn't tell her dad, although I think her mother will tell her dad.
Oh, why did I do this? What was I thinking? Why didn't I take your advice? You want a ride home? No, thanks.
Made me kinda sad.
It's a sad story with a happy ending.
Where's his father? He left when he was born.
He couldn't handle it.
And so his mom was left all by herself, and she didn't have insurance, so my dad helped them anyway.
That's why he left the practice he was in.
He's constantly doing things he's not supposed to do as a doctor, like helping people, so when Tom's mom had to go into assisted-care living, he brought Tom home, and then he and my mom and me, we all adopted him.
Why are you telling me this? Well, we thought maybe if we told you more about us, then you'd tell us more about you, and if we knew more about each other, maybe we could really be friends.
Yeah.
Or maybe you'd decide that I'm not the kind of guy you think I am.
Maybe if you knew who my mother was or who my father was, you'd be too scared to even be in a room with me.
I think I better go.
It was nice talking to you.
Thanks.
Hurry up.
I can't believe you two would sneak into my office at night.
How'd you even get into the school? The gym.
It's the construction.
Anyone can get in, so it's not like we were breaking in.
How'd you get in? You're not supposed to be here, either, sir.
The gym.
And I know the security guard, who called me when he saw the two of you in here.
Then why didn't you call the police? 'Cause I told the security guard that this might happen.
And I'll be the one to ask the questions here.
You know I could have the two of you suspended from school for this? And you - you could be kicked off of majorettes.
And you could be kicked off the football team.
Please don't do that.
Yeah, that's scary.
But it's probably not as scary as getting fired from your job.
I don't have your permanent record, OK? Permanent records are kept in the principal's office.
But you have access to it.
I do, I have access.
And I went to the principal's office during school hours and pulled your file.
I figured you had a point about the entire school board knowing who your father is when you don't.
What do you get out of this, if I may ask? Grace and I are friends now, kind of, and I told Jack that I'd get them back together.
How? I'll figure it out, OK? You better.
I will.
So? It's not a legally binding document.
It's just a copy of a copy of a copy.
No, no, no.
No touching.
Thank you.
So when do I get Grace? I said I'd tal Ito her.
I'll talk to her.
Let's get outta here.
Hi.
How are you doing? Lousy.
How about you? The same.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too, I mean, about Mimsy.
Hi.
I think I'm the one who should apologize.
I should've told you.
It's kind of embarrassing having Alzheimer's whLY you can remember it.
You know, I forgot to take my medication when I left the house this morning, and I'm really much better when I'm on my medication.
You know, Mimsy, I could still stay with you.
I mean, I could take care of you.
Oh, Amy, I know you could, honey, but then who would take care of you? I'll take care of you.
Both of you.
All three of you.
You check back with us after you get through this stage, and then we'll see.
Mom, you can't just go home.
No, I wasn't planning to.
You see, when you called me and told me that you were driving up, I ran out and pulled the "sold" sign out of the front lawn.
And then I went into a panic, because I was planning on getting situated first, and then telling you that I'd moved.
To? To a very nice assisted-care complex.
You know, I never liked that house.
No.
You know, your father surprised me with it because he liked it, and I always wanted a fireplace and a screen porch, and so now I've got a fireplace and a screen porch.
You know, it's odd that they'd provide a fireplace for someone in assisted care.
It's electric.
You know, I'd been planning on traveling for the next few months, a few of us there who are still capable of traveling, and there's this very nice doctor and his wife and they said they would take us on a trip through Europe and well I really would come and Le of you though, Amy, if you really needed me.
Mimsy, it's it's OK.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
I knew you'd say that.
I mean, I want to help, I do, but I'm really more of a good-time girl, you know? I'm really not a good helping type.
And besides, look at all the people you have to take care of you.
And I really would like to have this vacation while I still can, you know? And you should take a vacation while you still can.
Take a little break from George and go on out and do whatever it is you've always wanted to do.
Life is short, Anne.
Believe me, it's over in the blink of an eye.
So you know about George and me? Yeah, I know.
But don't worry.
I'll soon forget.
It's Ben.
Hello.
I hadn't heard from you.
I know it's been a long day, but I just wanted to say good night.
Good night.
I love you, Amy.
I love you, too.
I'm really gonal m gs you.
I'm not goin' anywhere.
