The Secret Life of the American Teenager s01e17 Episode Script

?? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?? Ricky's still sleeping with Adrian.
???Ricky? I know he's there,Adrian.
I don't know.
???? You're a really bad friend.
If I decide to have the baby adopted, then I will decide who the parents should be.
Okay.
Whatever you want.
Come on.
Mom is waiting to take us to school.
I'm not going to school.
I'm don't feel well.
I'm pregnant.
No,really? You know,that's not gonna get you out of school,Amy.
So did Ben ever call? Nope.
You know,I could pawn this, if you don't want it.
What is it? A man's wedding ring.
Where'd you get that? Veronica gave it to me.
It's her ex's.
Who's Veronica? And why did she give that ring to you? She's that waitress.
She felt bad about taking my tips, so she gave me her ex-husband's wedding ring.
What am I supposed to do with it? Ben would never accept this ring now.
I should have never invited Ricky over.
Oh,come on,'s not that bibig a deal.
You were just trying to do the right thing.
The wrong way,but the right thing.
I should have just waited Waited for what,Amy? Dad told me not to tell Mom,but-- But I'm not gonna tell her, so you can tell me.
And then when Mom does find out, like she always does, you and I can both get into trouble together.
So go ahead.
Dad found a couple.
A couple of what? A couple to adopt the baby.
A couple who is willing to go along with an open adoption.
I can still see my son.
You can still see him.
We can all still see him.
We can all still be involved in his life, and yet,he'll have two responsible adult parents who can take care of him.
This is kind of a theme with you,isn't it? Trying to get someone else to do what you should do.
I'm getting someone else to do what I can't do.
Who,Amy? I'd love to know what couple Dad knows that would make good parents.
??? Donovan and Leon.
Donovan and Leon? Donovan and Leon.
Yeah.
They've been wanting to adopt for a while now.
Ah,I see.
And there are no needy children anywhere in the country, nay the entire world,who need a home? It really isn't easy for gay couples to adopt.
So you're what,doing them a favor? The way I see it, it's benefiting me,the baby,and them.
You know what? Give me that ring back.
You've lost your mind.
You can take care of this baby,Amy.
You're not giving away my nephew.
Ashley,you can still see him.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of nights when I wish I was being raised by Donovan and Leon, but you can't just give the baby away to anyone.
You can't.
I know you.
You're giving the baby up for adoption so you can keep Ben,aren't you? Hey,this is why 15-year-olds should not get married.
I mean,you did everything you could.
I mean,we did everything we could.
It didn't work out,Benjamin.
She's a nice girl.
I love Amy.
And I know that you love Amy, but that doesn't mean you should spend the rest of your lives together.
Now,let me tell you something, I'm really proud of you for standing up and saying that's enough.
A man has to do that sometimes, even if it's tough.
I don't feel like going to school today.
Well,you're going.
Look,this is a very complicated situation, and there's no un-complicating it.
You did the right thing.
And if you have any doubts about Amy, and I think you do, you did the right thing.
I don't know,Dad.
I don't know if not seeing Amy is the right thing,but She's having Ricky's baby, it's not mine, and there's nothing I can do about it if she wants to be with him.
It-- It might even be better for the baby if she's with him,you know? Now you're talking.
Come on.
It'll be all right.
Season1.
Episode17 Hello.
Hi,Jack? Shawna? How are you? Uh,how are you? You okay? Yeah,I'm okay.
Why? I don't know.
I've been thinking about you all weekend.
While you were with your boyfriend? I have a confession.
I don't have a boyfriend.
You don't have a boyfriend? No.
It's just you're too young for me.
But you don't have a boyfriend.
Which doesn't change the fact that you're in high school.
Just pretend I was held back like three grades.
How about four? What are you,20? That's not that old.
Thanks.
No,seriously.
You're not that much older than me.
Okay,look,I am older than you,and I like you, but I'm warning you,I don't like clingy, and I don't want our relationship to affect your relationship with Duncan.
Sowe're in a relationship.
Clingy.
I got it.
I got it.
You know,I knew you liked me.
You totally freaked me out when you did that.
Sorry.
What? I gotta go find somebody.
Somebody other than me? Now who's clingy? No,you got me so upset that I went out and did something stupid, and now I gotta fix it.
- Can I call you later? - You don't have to.
But can I? Yes.
Bye.
I love you.
What? I'm joking.
Relax.
Bye.
I knew this would happen.
It was just too good to be true.
He was just too clingy.
Yeah.
Who,me? Ben.
Oh.
Yeah,I can see that.
See? Everyone knows it.
Yeah,and when he got together with Amy, we never saw her again.
He just hogged all her time.
Just because I wasn't allowed to go over there after my parents found out she was pregnant doesn't mean she couldn't spend more time with us after school.
And how pretentious is it that he had a driver? I mean,who has a driver? So which one of you two is gonna try to date Ben next? I have a boyfriend.
Oh,I forgot.
I don't know,Madison,it just Ls like d I are friends.
Not like boyfriend and gi Tiend.
So is it true that you told Henry that the only reason we hooked up is because you're a lazy dater? Are you calling me lazy? Because I resent that.
Yeah,that's what he tells people: that we're together because he's a lazy dater.
It's true.
What? Come on,you're like the only girl he knows other than me,and he can't date me.
So he doesn't even like me? No,he does,but he might liirls too if he went out with them like my parents-- Ooh.
Like your parents what? I thought your parents loved me.
They do.
But you're the first girl he's ever dated and And? They doubt that you'll be the last girl he ever goes out with,no offense.
Great.
So why don't you just get a bunch more friends and he can date all them too.
Hold it.
We can't fight each other when fighting with Amy against Ben.
We have to be a team.
Yeah.
You're right.
So go find Jason and make up.
We've got work to do.
Hey,just forget about what I said the other night.
Okay? It's none of my business whether Ricky's still sleeping with Adrian.
And I'm probably wrong.
What? I shouldn't have done that.
It's just that Shawna had dumped me-- - Wait.
Who's Shawna? - Duncan's sister.
- Who's Duncan? - The kid I'm mentoring.
And his sister,well,she's the first girl I've had any feelings for since you.
Excuse me? I like you.
As a friend.
And I'm having a conversation with Grace.
-Oh! -Okay.
Anyway,where was I? I think you were about to get dumped, which led me to making a certain phone call.
All right.
Shawna broke up with me because she had a boyfriend, which she didn't tell me before, so I came to your house all upset, then I get a phone call from her telling me she didn't have a boyfriend after all.
So.
Well,I called right after you left my house.
Adrian was with Ricky.
Well,you're not mad at me for telling you,are you? I mean,I'd want someone to tell me if Shawna was cheating on me.
Shut up,Jack.
I don't even know Shawna.
Oh,you gotta meet her.
She's great.
Oh,yeah,I'm sure she is.
Especially lying about having a boyfriend and everything.
Yeah.
Do you know how many teen relationships last for more than six months? No,but I really thought Ben and Amy would last a lifetime.
Ben and Amy? They broke up.
And he didn't even call me? Why would he call you? He's my best friend.
He's my best friend too.
No,you were his best friend because you were with me.
That is so sexist.
My friendship with Ben has nothing to do with you.
Ask him.
I'm his best friend too.
Did he tell you he broke up with Amy? That's not the test of friendship,knowing things.
The test of friendship is whether or not you hate the same people.
The common denominator between all people.
Hatred for the enemy.
And who would the enemy be? In this case,Amy.
Hi.
What about Amy? I hate her after what she did to you.
Going after Ricky like that.
That-- That harlot.
Don't talk about Amy like that.
What do you call a girl who's married to one guy and tries to date the father of her baby? They probably don't even have a name for that.
I stand by harlot.
You know,this is all your fault.
He was going after Grace when you pointed out Amy and ruined his life.
So I have a problem.
Why am I not surprised? Okay,let me tell you what happened.
Ricky and Amy-- - Hup,hup,hup.
- But-- No.
Look,you brought your personal problems into the office, now I'm taking your personal problems outta the office.
If you wanna talk-- I do wanna talk.
I wanna talk about this.
Up-bup.
If you wanna talk about school, the door is always open.
School? Why would I wanna talk about school? Because that's what I'm here for,to talk about school.
And I happen to very good at that.
So I'm gonna stick to what I'm good at.
I need to talk to you.
About? The mentoring program.
Enter.
Exit.
So how's it going? Any problem with the kid? The kid? That you're mentoring? Oh.
Yeah.
Duncan.
Ah,he's great.
So,what'd you want to talk about? Duncan's sister.
Oh,no,no,no.
No sister.
We aren't talking about anything other than mentoring.
My mentoree has a sister-- Hup,hup,hup.
Out,out,out.
But-- Nope.
Can't do it.
This office is for academic consultation only.
All right.
No one told me.
I thought you did it all.
Not anymore.
- You see,it's just that she-- - Stop.
Unless she suggested a college you wanna check out.
No.
Then I can't help you.
I'm thinking about having sex with my brother.
What'd I say? What's going on? What are you doing here in the middle of the day? Why aren't you at the store? I'm not feeling well.
Thanks for your concern.
What's with the flowers? Someone die? I'm just trying to make the house look presentable.
Who do you have to present the house to? Reverend Stone is introducing me to a nice couple who might be interested in adopting.
Well,that's just like you to try and go behind my back to try to find adoptive parents that you like, and then force them on me.
I'm not forcing anyone on you.
Jim and Linda just want to have a casual meeting.
If everything goes well, if I like them, and if it seems like they'll be nice parents,I'll introduce them to Amy.
And me? Yes,and you,George.
Well,I can't today.
Like I told you,I'm not feeling well.
That's why I came home and left the store to Donovan.
Donovan can handle anything.
He's a good businessman and a nice person.
And so ishis friend.
Yeah,I love Donovan.
And Leon.
What's your point? I don't have a point.
Yeah,big surprise.
What are you doing? I miss the party? Just cleaning out the fridge.
Really,the whole fridge, or just the wine bottle part? Uh,cooking wine.
It's turned sour, kinda like someone else I know.
What are you doing home? I thought I'd stop by, have a little lunch.
Oh,really? Lunch or a lecture perhaps? Lecture? Yeah,it seems like you've been working on it for a couple weeks now, Should be a pretty good one,I bet.
You know,we haven't been having much sex lately.
Yeah,that's because I've been getting drunk in the afternoon and taking care of myself.
I'm joking.
About the drinking.
Come on.
You don't think I'm cheating on you,do you? You kinda just admitted to that,didn't you? Although that kinda cheating really,uh,turns me on.
Uh,uh,no.
Focus.
Focus.
Listen.
Here's the thing.
If you had just told me about your cheating on George when we first met,it wouldn't have made any difference.
But you didn't.
You lied to me.
You told me that he cheated on you, so that means we've been living in this lie for 17 years.
You have been lying to me for 17 years.
Marshall,we talked about it only one time.
And that was 17 years ago.
I think we should talk again.
Then let's talk about it.
Fine.
Lets.
You know,I don't think you get it.
I just didn't want you to know that I cheated on my husband.
But you did.
But that's between you and him.
It's got nothing to do with us.
The lie,that's between you and me.
You know,I wish you would lie about something.
I wish you weren't so perfect.
Your perfect hair.
Your perfect teeth.
Your perfectbutt.
Thank you.
Marshall,I'm not the same person I was when I lied to you.
Okay,so just forgive me.
Please? Oh,it's about damn time! What took you so long? Of cours Of hat's all I ever wanted to hear.
- Thank you! - I forgive you.
Ah! What are you doing? Where's Tom? He's upstairs.
He's mad at Tammy 'cause she's not talking to him.
Looks like I'll be going right back to work now.
Hey.
I'll see you tonight.
Yes,you will.
You're an idiot.
No wonder we can't get a baby.
You can't drink a beer at an interview.
He offered.
Infertility can be really stressful.
I'll say.
Then again,so can fertility.
Oh,you talking about Amy's situation? I-I just can't help it.
It just makes me so angry that a 15-year-old girl can get pregnant and I can't.
Yeah.
First time too.
Thanks.
You know,I gotta tell you that you people get an A+ for honesty.
Well,you're a breath of fresh air yourself.
So can we talk about the baby? We could,but I gotta tell you, I'm not quite sure I want the baby adopted.
I mean,it's my grandson.
I'm gonna wanna see him once in a while.
Would there be a problem with that? Well,George,I think our parents would see the baby as their grandson.
I-I'm not open to an open adoption.
And no offense, but I don't want to share the baby with Amy and your family,no.
If we were to take the baby, we would want you to stay out of his life.
I don't want him to have two mommies and two daddies and three grandmothers and three grandfathers and whatever.
You know,I just don't think I can do that.
Well,we could think about whether we could do that.
Honey? No,we couldn't,honey.
Look,you seem like a really nice couple, but I'm looking for an open adoption.
That is,if there is an adoption.
But,you know,your wife didn't say anything about that.
Oh,I forgot,yes.
Mental problems.
All right,well,Jim,we should go.
Hey,thanks for dropping by.
Run for it! Run! They weren't qualified.
You're not qualified to determine that.
And you waitg in there.
??? Well,obviously not.
I married you.
Hello? Hey,Anne,it's Donovan.
Hi.
Is everything okay at the store? Oh,everything's fine.
I was gonna drop off something for George at closing, and I was just wondering if you and I could get together for a few minutes and talk since we've already talked to George,Leon and I.
Sure.
Oh,you're not quitting, are you,Donovan,please? So George talked to you? About? Don't feel bad,Amy.
You did nothing wrong.
You have the right to talk to whomever you want to, whenever you want to.
- Ben is weak.
- Yeah.
I'm the weak one.
I should have told Ben that Ricky was coming over.
I'm gonna go find him and apologize.
I had my chance this morning,and I blew it.
Wait.
Apologize for what? It's none of his beeswax if Ricky comes over.
And once the baby's born, he's probably gonna be That's just the thing, I think I found a couple to adopt the baby.
Maybe.
If it all works out.
So if the baby is adopted, then I'm not exactly still tied to Ricky.
Which is great,because I don't wanna be tied to Ricky.
I wanna be tied to Ben.
I'm gonna give this to him.
Oh,no,don't do that.
Don't give that to him.
Wait for him to come and apologize to you.
Yeah,even if it were your fault-- Which it wasn't.
You just don't wanna make it seem like you're dangling a ring in front of him just to get him back.
But I want him back.
Well,then,let him come to you.
Let him buy you jewelry.
That's better.
And if he doesn't come and apologize to me, and he doesn't buy me jewelry? Well,then,he doesn't deserve you.
You have your whole lifeahead of yo ???n do anything.
And like you said,once the baby's born,he won't be around.
So you won't be tied to the baby, or Ben,or Ricky or anyone.
You can start your life over.
Wouldn't it be great if I could also start it over with Ben? Think about it.
This whole year has been a nightmare.
Start over.
Live your dreams.
Speaking of dreams.
I'm gonna catch up with you guys later.
Ben's the only good thing that has happened to me this year.
I'm gonna hang onto him.
I hate to say this to you,Amy, but maybe Ben doesn't want you to hang onto him.
They're conspiring to get Ben back,I know it.
Well,he does love her.
No,he doesn't.
He's just a romantic idiot.
He's in love with the idea of being in love.
He hasn't found his real love yet.
He needs to get out there and start looking for his real love.
He needs to or you need to? He didn't even find Amy.
You found Amy for him.
You can't leave that alone today? No,I can't.
Look,none of this is my fault.
It's Amy's fault.
She knew what condition she was in, and she kept it all a secret.
Pregnancy should be a deal breaker.
He was bamboozled.
I wasn't bamboozled.
I just-- I don't know I thought that I loved her.
And what do you think now? I don't know,Alice.
I-I think she doesn't love me.
I think that she wants to love me,but-- But she still might have feelings for Ricky.
I think that she's not angry with him anymore, but I think that maybe Well,I don't know.
The more I thought about it this weekend, the more I think that Amy's not the kind of girl who would even make out with a guy unless she had feelings for him.
Things might have gone too far, and I'm sure she didn't mean to get pregnant,but She had to have at least been somewhat attracted to him.
Oh,that's good.
But,I mean,on the other hand,though, even if she was attracted to him, maybe she's not attracted to him anymore.
Maybe now that she knows him, she's not attracted to him.
Maybe she was trying to do the right thing for the by talking to him and trying to be friends.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure of anything anymore.
I need a sign.
You know.
I need some sort of sign that she really loves me.
You are so naive.
Am I? If you thought Ricky would never sleep with me again,you are.
Um,I asked you about seeing Ricky.
And I told you that you could either be friends with me or have sex with him.
And I told you I wasn't gonna have sex with him, so I thought that since I'm not having sex with him, you still considered me to be your friend,Adrian.
I wanted to be friends,but no, you had to sleep with Ricky, even though you don't love him and you know that I do.
Stop having sex with every guy I go out with.
Stop going out with guys I'm having sex with.
And you don't love him, you don't even know him.
I know him enough to know he wants a nice girl, and I'm a nice girl,and you're not.
What are you saying,Grace? You know what I'm saying.
Say it.
Say it to my face.
You're the "B" word.
The "B" word? What's the "B" word,Grace? You know what the "B" word is,Adrian, because that's what you are.
Say it.
No,I'm not gonna say it.
I'm gonna say something else.
What? A prayer? Are you gonna say a prayer, you Bible-thumping,two-faced virgin? Yeah.
Maybe I will.
God help Adrian because she's a bitch! - Let go! - You let go! No,you! -You,blondie! -You're hurting me! Good! Can somebody help me? You help her,I'll come after you! Are you laughing or crying? I'm laughing.
What are you laughing at? Me.
You.
Look at us, this is completely humiliating and funny.
It's not funny! I'm sorry.
Me too.
I am a bitch.
No,you're not.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry.
I like you.
It's just, Ricky's made me into an idiot.
Oh,you're not an idiot.
You believe in the guy.
Even though he did cheat on you.
No,but don't you understand? That's just how guys like Ricky are when they're raised that way.
He doesn't have to be like that.
He doesn't have to be a cheater.
He could be a really good and faithful husband one day.
You're not naive,you're delusional, but go ahead,Grace.
He's all yours.
I'm not gonna sleep with him again.
I have a new guy in my life.
A guy that could maybe make a good and faithful husband for me.
Really? Who? My brother.
It's a long story.
Let's go get a cup of coffee or something.
Your hair looks good messed up like that.
Oh,thank you.
So does yours.
Look,I didn't mean to break up the two of you.
You didn't.
Well,I heard you broke up.
I don't think we actually broke up.
I think he's just taking some time to think about things.
Translation.
You broke up.
Whether or not you were officially told that.
The guy's a wuss.
Come on.
No,he's not.
He is.
I said it to you the first time I saw you out with him, and I'll say it again.
He's not your type,Amy.
I mean,it's admirable for him to stick by you when you're having my baby, but you are having my baby.
And I know I agreed to give up our baby,but Amy,it's killing me.
Even if you find the perfect couple, I don't know how you're gonna do it.
I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
Hold the baby,with his tiny little hands and feet, completely helpless, and then just hand him over to someone else.
Hey,I didn't mean to upset you.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for having me over for dinner.
We'll order a pizza or something if you're still hungry.
Ugh.
I can't believe that Amy.
She has a boyfriend,a husband.
Yeah.
She and Ben are married.
They got married in a church.
I don't think it's a church.
They just make it look like a chapel.
Church,chapel.
What's the difference? Those two promised to stay together till death.
Yeah,that's a pretty big promise, and they made that promise to God.
Yeah,well,they made that promise to Elbert anyway.
Still.
They're married.
Yeah,well,Amy didn't look like she was married to Ben today.
She looked like she was married to Ricky.
I wanna be married to Ricky.
Are you kidding me? You caught us sleeping together.
Oh,I thought you guys were having sex.
I'm kidding.
It's just that Ricky has to have somebody to have sex with right now, and that can't be me.
Even if he's thinking about me while he's having sex with you.
He's not thinking about you while having sex with me.
Maybe not,but I bet I just ruined sex with Ricky for you,didn't I? Nothing could ruin sex with Ricky for me.
Are you sure? He's not thinking about you.
Yeah,well,obviously he's thinking about Amy.
Makeup sex,it's always good.
Yeah.
So have you lied to me about anything else? Don't ruin this.
All right.
Can I get you anything? Yeah,I'll have two chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk.
Wait,honey.
Make it three.
They're kinda small.
Got it.
You know what I was thinking? I never know what you're thinking, but I know what I'm thinking.
Maybe it would be nice to,um, expand our family just a little bit.
No,no,no,no,no.
You sure you mean no? You only said no five times.
Yeah.
I'm very sure.
I'm not having another baby.
But you could.
I'm not.
But you could Oh,no,you are not thinking of adopting Amy's baby.
No.
Whatever gave you that idea? Grace suggested it.
Well,then Ricky would be around all the time and she could be a 16-year-old stepmom.
- Yeah.
- No,no,no.
What I'm really thinking,sweetheart, there's a lot of children out there who don't have any homes at all, and our kids are getting older every day Yeah,and if we adopted,we wouldn't have time to do stuff like this.
You're right.
What was I thinking? I told you,I don't know what you think.
And what are you thinking? I'm thinking that Tom hasn't come in to say goodnight.
And that it's 8:00 and the dishes are still in the sink.
Yep.
I'm gonna go do them.
And I'll get the cookies.
You want me to come with? No,thanks.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Hi,Mom.
Hi.
I see you and Tammy made up.
- Hi,Tammy.
- Hi,Mom.
Do you mind if I call you that? Because Tom and I are getting married one day.
Perhaps after you get married.
Uh,speaking of after you get married, what have you two been up to? We've been having fun.
Yeah.
A lot of fun.
And now we are hungry.
I see.
What,exactly,has made you so hungry? We've been swimming in the hot tub.
Oh.
Okay,good.
Swimming.
That's good.
If Tammy can swim.
I can swim.
Your father and I like to know if someone is in the pool,Tom.
You know.
Safety first.
Buddy system.
Tammy's my buddy.
Yeah,okay.
Well, next time you guys go swimming, please let me know,okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
Well,I'll clean up after you guys are finished.
Why are you so hungry? Hm.
Wouldn't you like to know? Goodnight.
You guys stay out of the pool.
And don't have sex.
Sex? She thinks we would have sex? What would you think about that? About having sex? I think I want a wedding first, that's what I think.
After the wedding? Maybe,if I feel like it.
Okay,you're the boss.
You got that right.
So if X is half of Y,then Y equals ABC.
Come on,Duncan,stop joking around.
I know you know this stuff.
I don't know this stuff, and I'm not trying to get to know this stuff, because I am never going to use this stuff.
If nothing else,you can use it to get into college.
What? And leave all this? You can always come back to this.
I'm not going to college.
And I don't think you are either,Jack.
Because X is not half of Y.
Oh,yeah,one third of Y.
Stop joking around with this whole mentor program and admit it,you're just here for my sister.
Whoa.
No,no,no.
Don't go there.
This is our night.
I'm here for you.
This is all about you and me.
Just the two of us.
Mentor and mentoree.
I don't like clingy either.
I need my space.
All right.
I guess I'll get going,then.
-Yeah.
-cool.
- Night.
- I'll walk you out.
All the way to the door? All three feet? - Night,Jack.
- Goodnight,Shawna.
It was nice to see you again.
It was nice to see you again.
- Goodnight.
- You said goodnight already.
He's in high school.
Yeah,I know that.
What took you so long? You wanna go out with me Wednesday night? Wednesday? Yes,Wednesday.
You got a problem with Wednesday? - Well-- .]
- Forget it.
No,no,no.
It's just that, my stepdad,he's a minister, and I go to church on Wednesday night.
Might be hard for you to believe, considering what we did on our first date,but,uh, I'm a Christian.
There,I said it.
Me too.
I go to church every Wednesday night.
I work on Sundays because I get time and a half, so I go to church on Wednesday nights.
I was gonna ask you to go with me.
Wow.
So we're both Christians.
We're both sinners anyway.
Yeah,but then again, everyone's a sinner.
You wanna come back in? No,I don't wanna mix Duncan's nights with our nights.
See you Wednesday? Yeah,I'll see you Wednesday.
God willing.
Peace be with you.
And with you.
You know I'm really good at math.
I know.
And here's the thing.
He's 16.
That's 18 minus two.
And you're 20.
That's 18 plus two.
And two,that rhymes with you.
That rhymes with don't do anything that would get you arrested, because 14 plus four equals 18, which is how old I would be when I get out of foster care if you're in prison.
I hadn't thought of that.
Well,think about it.
Because I'm too old to be adopted, and you're too pretty to be in prison.
It's so great to see you guys.
I don't know why George didn't tell me about it.
I don't know why you didn't approach me first.
I think it's a great idea.
And that's exactly why we didn't approach you first.
We thought-- Well,we thought George might be an obstacle, and so we thought we should approach him first.
Me? Why would I be an obstacle? You know,George,Donovan and I learned something important from you.
Not to judge a book by it's horrible cover.
Am I that horrible? Fine.
Unlike some people, I'm not sensitive.
Amy! George,I don't think Amy's gonna talk to them tonight.
That's what you get for thinking.
Hi,Donovan.
Hi,Leon.
Hi,Amy.
You look radiant.
Isn't that cool? Maybe we should have waited to have Amy talk to the guys.
Waited for what? You wanted an adoption.
Do you really object,George? It's not my decision.
I can't blame Amy for wanting to get on with her life.
She's not cut out to be a mother at 15 so It's not what I want, but I guess it's the best thing.
- I guess.
- You guess? You better be sure, and Amy better be sure.
- Once she signs the papers - I know.
You know,Anne,I can't blame you for wanting to get on with your life either.
We had some good years together,didn't we? Yeah,we had some good years together.
I don't think I ever said this, but I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't work harder on our marriage, and I'm sorry I cheated on you.
I mean that.
Well,if you really mean that, then I forgive you.
And I'm sorry too.
For some things that happened.
Well,I don't forgive either of you.
Ever.
You stink and so does Amy.
Maybe Donovan and Leon can take her too.
She'll be okay.
We'll all be okay.
Yeah.
But maybe you should talk to some other couples.
Why? Because we want you to be sure.
Absolutely,positively sure.
I'm sure.
The thing is,Amy,we almost adopted once before.
Siblings,out of foster care.
We were foster parents, and the parents agreed to relinquish the children, and then And then they found out that the children were with a gay couple, and they changed their mind.
They didn't take the children back, they're still in foster care, but they wouldn't let us be their parents.
I know you guys are gay, and I don't care.
And I won't disappoint you.
I've disappointed enough people already.
We'd like to meet Ricky.
Yeah,uh,we would like to meet him and make sure he's committed to doing this too, because he has rights.
He could block the adoption.
He could,but I don't think he will.
So you and Ricky, do you still see each other? Are you friends? Donovan told me you're in love with another guy,Ben? Yeah,I'm in love with him, I'm just not so sure he's in love with me.
Amy,don't cry.
I messed up everything.
I do love him.
I love him,and I have a ring, and he saw me Maybe you should talk to him,to Ben.
I can't.
He won't answer, and I can't drive.
Well,we'll drive you.
Really? I'm dying to see where the sausage king lives.
"Mucus plug.
" Your mom let me in.
Why? I told her I had to apologize.
Why? I can't stand when someone's angry at me.
Who's that? Who's angry with you? I thought you'd be angry at me since I told Grace you were sleeping with Adrian.
I didn't even know that.
Oh.
Well,I did.
Sorry.
What,are you in a 12-step program or something? No,I just thought it'd be the right thing to do.
Okay.
Oh,jeez,you're not looking for me to say you're forgiven or something,are you? - I said I didn't know.
- I know.
But to me it kinda feels like unfinished business, and until you don't say that I'm forgiven, it still feels unfinished.
Okay,you're forgiven for this and anything you do in the future.
And,hey,call next time.
I don't like people in my personal space.
What? Are you studying? And this is why I don't like people in my personal space.
There's nothing wrong with doing research.
You're gonna be a father.
Yeah,well,knowing where babies come from and seeing where they come from, two entirely different things.
Yeah.
Just so you know,I have a girlfriend.
Her name is Shawna,and we're in love, so I'm not interested in Grace anymore.
I won't be interfering again.
Interfere all you want.
I'm not interested in Grace anymore.
Or Adrian.
Who are you interested in? The mother of my son.
Amy.
I'm interested in Amy.
For real? Yeah,for real.
That's good,I guess.
What about her and,uh I think they broke up.
Yeah,but Amy and Ben got married.
Yeah,but Amy and I had sex and we're having a baby.
Yeah,I get it.
I'm sorry.
Hello? Hey,Ricky.
Hi,Grace.
Hey,I was wondering-- Grace,I can't talk to you anymore.
Are you okay? No.
I can't,Grace.
Hey,chica blanca.
How are you? I have a confession.
I called Ricky.
What? And he said he can't talk to me anymore.
I thought you weren't gonna talk to him anymore anyway.
I know.
All right,well,what do you want me to do about it? I don't know.
I just wanted to tell you.
All right,I'll talk to you tomorrow.
And don't call him back.
Just let it go.
Guys like rejection.
He'll come around.
I don't know.
He sounded serious.
He's never serious.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
What? What do you mean,what? You wanna come over? No,I'm not coming over there anymore.
Yeah,right.
What about your brother? If that's why you're not coming over, I can get rid of him.
You don't have to.
This is it for us,Adrian.
I'm done.
Amy,hi.
We weren't expecting you.
I couldn't get Ben on the phone.
I really need to talk to him.
Look,Amy,you know I love you.
You're a nice girl, and I don't care at all that you're having a baby.
In fact,I love you both, but I also love my son.
The truth is ,it may not be the best thing for him if you two are together.
That's a decision he's gonna have to make himself.
He'd like some time to make that decision himself.
Okay,Amy? Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks,Mr.
Boykewich.
Goodnight,Amy.
