Hey.
What happened? I stopped by the restaurant.
Uh-huh.
When? Just now.
Just now? Two hours after you were supposed to meet us? So how'd it go? Well,your mother had to leave.
She had a plane to catch.
She's working.
Yeah,I know that.
But how'd it go? How was it,seeing her and everything? She looks good,huh? What? You two haven't seen each other in a long time.
So,what does that have to do with you? I don't know,everything? Yeah,I'm married.
And dinner tonight was supposed to be with you and your mother so the three of us could talk.
Your mother let me wait here for you.
I still want to talk to you.
Well,I had to go to a wedding.
A wedding? That's where you were? Your mother didn't say anything about a wedding.
Yeah.
Amy and Ben got married.
Amy.
The girl who's having Ricky's baby? Who's Ben? Oh,that's her boyfriend.
I mean,husband.
How old are they? Fifteen.
Two 15-year-olds got married? Yep.
And who were the witnesses? Her sister and his best friend.
And how old are they? I think her sister's,like,13 and his best friend's 15.
*** So where'd they get married? - Elbertson's.
- Really? Really,and then I stopped by the reception.
I take it their parents were involved.
No.
I see.
Yeah,well,her dad and his dad showed up afterwards.
They weren't all that happy, but too late.
Well,I don't know if it's too late,but-- But why are you so happy? Because Amy is married.
She's having Ricky's baby, but still she's married.
So now it's Ben's baby.
Or it will be.
You still have feelings for Ricky even though he betrayed you and is dating your only friend? No,I don't have feelings for Ricky.
I hate to tell you this So I won't.
So I'm guessing the newlyweds used fake IDs? I don't know,I guess so.
So what? Other people have fake IDs.
Other people are not my concern.
You are.
I don't use it.
- Give it to me.
- No.
Why would you need one? I don't need one, I just like having one.
So if you wanted to have a drink, you would have a drink.
Or if you wanted to go to a bar or something like that, you would just go to a bar,right? No big deal.
Right,no big deal.
You know the penalty for using a fake ID can be a $250 fine and/or community service? - Give it to me.
- No.
Adrian,give it to me before you get into trouble.
I'm not gonna get into trouble.
So where'd you get it,huh? Where did you and all your little friends get fake IDs? Someone running a shop at school? All right,I'll giveou my ID, but don't ask me where I got it and don't get anyone into any trouble.
Oh,really.
A plea bargain? Nevada? Yeah,I don't plea bargain cases I can win.
What does that mean? Your mother thinks you should remain in school until the end of the year.
And then,depending on how things go, maybe you should come and stay with me for a while.
Or, depending on how things go, maybe you should come and live with us for a while.
Adrian,I'm married,okay? You know that.
Yeah,I know that.
This is not the way to do things.
It was the only way to do things.
I wanted to tell you,but Amy didn't want me to tell you.
She didn't want anyone to stop us.
Don't ever say that again to me.
Don't ever say that you wanted to do the right thing, but Amy or someone else, or anyone else, talked you out of it.
You know the right thing to d You do the right thing.
Always.
Right or wrong,we're married.
Married? You're not married,Benjamin.
- I am.
- Son, if you got married with an illegal document, and you had to have been married with an illegal document, like a fake ID, then you're not married.
You're not married and you're in trouble.
- With? - With me.
I've told you before.
You can't always have what you want.
That's life.
You don't get to be married to Amy.
Her parents don't want her married.
I tried to help you with this and the answer was no.
And then you went against her parents' wishes, and you lied to me and you betrayed my trust in you.
We're not married? You're not married.
Have you paid attention to anything I just said to you? Are you sure we're not married? I'm sure.
But we exchanged vows.
I mean,we said,"I do.
" We're married,I don't care what the State of California says.
Do you care what I say? You're not married.
Let's go.
Why Nevada? I don't know,but I wish I was there.
Me too.
You really thought you could get married with a fake ID? I did get married with a fake ID.
No,you didn't.
- Yes,I did.
- Doesn't count.
It counts to me.
I mean legally,it doesn't count.
We promised we'd stay with each other until death.
Yeah,so did your mother and me.
And by the way, you're both in big trouble if she finds out about this.
If? I'm not gonna tell her.
I've got enough problems with her already.
"Sally-Ann Sweetwater"? Hanging out with your dad at his new place? Yeah.
- How'd it go? - Fine.
This was Ashley's first date, so I just want to know how it went.
Fine.
What did you do? We just hung out at Ben's house.
What's his house like? Big.
How big? Bigger than ours.
Bigger than Dad's.
Goodnight,then.
Well,wait a minute.
You guys want some pancakes? Mom,it's 1 in the morning.
Are you craving anything? I always crave pancakes.
And pancakespa great at 1 in the morning.
Come on,I want to know how her date went.
Wait a minute,why didn't Mr.
Boykewich drive you home or have his driver drive you home? Uh,it was late,so I just called Dad.
Hidey-ho.
- Get your own bathroom.
- No time to chat.
Mom,I'm really tired.
I should just get some sleep.
Look,it-- It was fine,Mom.
It was-- It was great.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Grace has a fake ID.
Everyone has one.
You ruined my night, and I'm going to ruin your night.
- You already did.
- You ruined my life! I did not! Grace,why would you need a fake ID? Not to get married.
Nobody wants to marry her.
But somebody wants to marry me.
Tom,can you go upstairs so that we can talk to Grace alone,please? Yeah,I will go upstairs and call my Tammy.
No,it's late,her mother is not very happy with you.
Do not call Tammy right now.
I am a grownup.
And so is Tammy.
And if it's too late, she won't answer her phone.
Hello? It's me,your father,remember? said do not call Tammy right now.
Give me your cell phone.
What? You heard me,Give me your cell phone,now.
- No.
- Tom, this is not a casual suggestion.
Give me your cell phone,now.
The battery's dead.
All right,you.
Upstairs,right now.
We'll talk about this tomorrow.
Yeah,call me.
Ha.
Yeah,that was a great idea.
Getting Tom a girlfriend.
He deserves to have a relationship with someone other than the three of us.
Mm,I liked Betty better.
Me too.
at Tammy's a bad influen.
What? A fake ID? Where did you get a fake ID? At school.
It's no big deal.
It's illegal.
Even to have it in my purse? even if I don't use it? - Nevada? - They all say Nevada.
"Sally-Anne Sweetwater?" I'm delighted you two think this is funny, but you won't think it's very funny when you get caught.
It's illegal.
Yo'ure breaking the law.
Do you realize if you get caught with this,it's a $250 fine? - Who's going to catch her? - Oh,I don't know, A man,wears a uniform, carries a gun,wears a badge.
Marshall,I think you're making too big a deal out of this.
That right? How about when I found out it was you that cheated on George, not the other way around? Was I making a big deal--? You said you'd never bring that up.
Oops.
Am I old enough to hear this? You're 27 years old in Nevada,you're old enough.
Your father is never gonna let you forget this.
Dad,I'm sorry,I didn't know it was illegal to have this.
You don't look sorry.
Well,that's because I'm in love.
Oh,please.
No,Ricky told me tonight that he loves me.
And I love him,Dad.
We're in love.
Where's your promise ring? Oh,Tom gave it to Tammy.
We'll be getting that back.
Okay,Dad,whatever you say.
Goodnight.
Maybe we should give it to your mother.
Oh.
Look who's here.
Can I come in? I don't know.
Can you? Yes,I can.
I decided to take a shower while I had the chance.
Yeah,whatever.
You want some pancakes? Pancakes? Yeah.
I could put some blueberries in if you want.
Wow.
What would make you offer me blueberry pancakes? I made them for the girls but they were tired and went to bed.
I'm kind of tired myself.
I better get to bed too.
Wait a minute.
You wanna talk? Talk? Yeah,talk.
Why doesn't anyone want to talk to me around here? You're not that fun to talk to.
I can be.
Wow! Yeah.
I should have moved out here years ago.
Who knew garage sex could be like this? Look,George, just because we had great sex for the first time in years does not mean we're getting back together.
Oh,no,not at all.
In fact,I think we should stay at least this far apart.
That was unbelievable.
Yeah,unbelievable.
But we shouldn't have.
We really shouldn't have.
Oh,no,we should have, we really should have.
It's time to forgive and forget.
Oh,no.
,No,no,n You're not forgiven.
Come on,I'm forgiven.
- No,you're not.
- Why not? Because you're not.
I'm sure you haven't forgiven me.
Forgiven you for what? Chicago! I knew it! Yeah,I know you knew it.
You knew it,right? What happened? And tell me the truth.
I told you the truth.
Yeah,after you got caught.
Nothing happened,okay, I had dinner with him.
I didn't sleep with him.
You're lying.
Yeah,I'm lying.
We're even.
I almost added "I'm sorry," but I'm not sorry.
It's just something I had to do,George.
For me.
You really should move out.
Oh,not now.
Never gonna happen! Never! Come on,girls,you're gonna be late.
I got it,I'll take the girls to school.

Ever since I talked to you about finding a job and taking on the responsibility of being a parent, you' just dist yourself from me.
I can't help it if you don't like what I said.
It just needed to be said.
*** About finding a job? Ben and I are gonnarok after school, if you don't mind if I go over.
Yeah,that's fine.

My life is very good right now.
Very,very good right now.
So did you go to the wedding reception? How was it? It was great,well,until Ben's dad and Amy's dad showed up.
Then it was just over pretty quickly.
But still,the food was good and we danced and,oh-- And Jack was there.
He's a really good dancer,you know.
Ohyeah,I know,yeah,he's a-- He's a good dancer.
Are you interested in Jack? ???interested in Jack.

I feel like such a loser I even once cared about a girl that cares about that guy,but-- - No offense.

I'm wanna do something more productive with my time.
- Like? - I heard Mr.

Figured I just talk to him.
I want to do some volunteer work.
I want to focus my time on someone or something other than me.

She didn't tell her.
I'll let you two honeymooners talk.
I'm sorry.
About everything.
Me too.

I can't tell my mom.
She'd just get angry with me.
She's already angry with my dad right now.
The two of them are fighting.
About him living in the garage? I don't know.
But Ashley thinks they were havi there.
Well,that could be a good thing.
Maybe they'll get back together.
Maybe u should talk to your mom while she's in a good mood.
????not in a Hey,uh Uh,did you have any problem with the IDs? Noly.
Thank you,those worked out great.
*** ?? ***for possessing a fake ID? And that if you're making and selling them, there's-- There's jail time.

I'm very well aware of that.
Thus,the pricing.
But first,they're going to have to catch me and prove that I am running a shop.
May I have your attention,please? Students possessing fake IDs should report to Mr.
Molina's office immediately.
Students possessing fake IDs ould report to Mr.

My dad took e Hey.
IDs.
Give me your IDs.
What's going on? Yeah,why are you shaking us down? You do not want to get caught with these,okay? Hey I didn't say anything.
Nothing.
I mean,I really wanted this to work out for Ben and Amy.
Well,yeah,me too, but someone's in trouble.
Oh,my God,I hope this wasn't a setup.
I don't want to go to jail.
I don't think they'll send us to jail.
We're not in possession of anything illegal.
I've never seen that ID before in my life.
So you're gonna lie if we get caught? I might.
Yeah,well,I've got two words for you: "Martha Stewart.
" ID? Give me your ID.
I don't know what you're doing,but thanks,man.
What's going on? Quickly,give me your ID.
ID,ID.
- Hey,give me your IDs.
- What are you doing? I don't know,just give me your ID.
There's no sense in all of us getting in trouble for this.
I don't want to have to make this a bigger deal than it is.
However,I could arrest you right now for running a shop and making illegal IDs which carries a penalty of up to six months in jail.
You want to go to jail? Not really.
I've-- I've heard it's really bad there.
Amy and Ben wanted to get married, so they needed an ID to prove that they were old enough, so I made them one and everyone else one who might want to go to the wedding.
And in case we wanted to get a drink afterwards,but we didn't.
So no one has them.
I have them,or had them.
I-- I cut them up.
an easy way to make some cash and I didn't think it'dig deal.
But you can'you anyone else but me.
Me who? Who are you? I'm Jack Pappas,sir.
You sure you're the one who made the IDs? Yeah,I'm responsible for them.
I was the driver.
I drove Ben and Amy to the wedding.
The DA's office would like a word with you.
- ??your pare - Yeah,why not? Can I get some privacy,though? How's the back seat of a squad car? Great.
I've never seen the back seat of a squad car.
Why would Jack do that? Why would he take the blame for you? I inspire loyalty.
Or you just know way too much.
Or he's just stupid.
Or maybe he did it.
Hi.
Uh,could we talk? Oh,yeah.
Sure,dude.
I think he's talking to me.
Go.
Hi,there.
Hello.
Uh,how are you? Where have you been? May I ask what's going on here? You and Amy tried to get married with fake IDs? So,uh,what happened with Jack? He fally confessed to making the IDs for you and everyone who wanted to go to the wedding.
Now he's on his way downtown,as they say.
is surprising.
Yes,it is.
I heard JoeCR ght it was Sam.
Jack would never make a fake ID.
He wouldn't know how.
Did he make the IDs? I-- I-- I'd rather not say.
But I hope they let him off with community service or a warning,or something.
Yeah,me too, because making fake IDs is a very serious offense.
and I'd hate to see him get jail time because you and Amy wanted to try to cheat the system by getting married.
I know it was a bad idea, but,you know,I love Amy so I just-- I went along with it.
Well,you didn't have to.
She's right.
I-- I didn't have to.
I should have told her that I thought it was a bad idea.
But I wanted to marry her.
I want her to be my wife.
You're too young to get married.
And her parents don't want her getting married.
I think that if she's old enough to have a baby, she's old enough to make this decision.
You think it's a good decision? To get married? If we had the support of our parents, I would make that commitment.
A lifelong commitment at 15? Is that a--? Did you get married? Yeah.
That's where I was.
*** ** - *** - To My cousin.
My girlfriend,who do you think? Oh,well,E ems to me from what you told me and my dad about your girlfriend, your cousin would have been a better choice.
Oh,yeah.
I forgot we had that conversation.
Yeah.
Over pizza.
Well,forget we had that conversation.
This is why they don't want students and faculty socializing.
So we wouldn't be afraid for you? It'll be fine.
Can I get you something? A glass of water? An apple? An apple? Why would I want an apple? IFcause we have apples? *** I'm just feeling a little bit anxious.
You know,um,no,thank you.
You know,I'm not really much of an apple person.
I like pts,bananas.
I like a good banana now and then as long n't too n'pe.
Do you know if she's gonna be much longer? Because I have otherings to do.
I gotta CR my daughters at scho *** **** *** We're practically best friends.
I mean-- But not really.
*** You know,if I was their best friend,who'd be their mother? I'm definitely their mother.
But we are close.
Ashley,Amy and me.
Would you like the number of someone you could really talk to? A therapist.
We have a very nice family therapist we recommend at times like this.
A therist? Why would I need a therapist? If you wanted someone to talk to.
But I talk to my daughters.
I just told you.
Ashley and Amy.
We're very close.
We talk about everything.
I don't need a therapist.
Not that I have anything against therapists, but I just don't need one.
Thanks.
Thanks,Carol.

Me too.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever been arrested for anything? No.
There aren't that many places that hire,uh, teenagers with or without work permits.
Yeah,well,my research isn't that great.
Uh,maybe Mr.
Molina can help us tomorrow if his wife lets him.
Oh,she's the jealous type.
Mr.
Molina went out with another woman and while he was at her house, his girlfriend,and now wife, broke down the door.
Yeah.
And now he's married to the door-breaker.
Well,I promise to never break down your door.
I'm sorry if I seemed meologetic, talking to Mr.
Molina Mout marroung It's just that we bow that that wahe way t a life together,didn'r,d edet married in the fir I know,but that was if it was okay with your parents.
And it's not.
It's clearly not.
So I can't marry you,Amy.
But we're gonna have to figure out what this non-married, unmarried,want-to-be-marrd relationship is.
And we will.
We will.
It's gonna be fine.
Yeah.
You keep saying that,but Oh.
Hi.
Oh,hi,yourself.
It's okay that I'm here,right? I asked you.
I'm just looking for a job,remember? I too am looking for a job.
*** um,by doing chores around the house.
Not that I don't help out around the house.
I do on occasion.
I-- I found that I'm very good at ironing.
Did you want something? Yeah,I do want something.
I wanna talk to you and Ben about the wedding.
Uh, could you wait just a second while I,uh, get rid of this stuff? I'll-- I apologize.
I was,uh,going to tell you ouo overjob firsjo It might.
It might not.
So about the wedding.
I take full responsibility.
No,I take full responsibility.
You're both responsible.
And so is the guy at Elbertson's who married you.
He knew that you were underage.
He knew that they were fake IDs.
He just felt sorry for you,Amy.
And you,Ben.
Oh.
I kind of thought so, but I really didn't care.
I just wanted to get married.
You can't run away awhis,Amy.
It's not possible.
She can run to our house, if you'd let her.
.
I'm not gonna let her.
But Mom,I can't find a job.
And I don't know anything about having a baby or raising a child.
And I can't go to school and go to work and be a mother.
But you can run over here and have someone else raise your child so you can go to school and then be a mother when it's convenient? Well,we weren't quite thinking about it like that.
We weren't thinking.
Period.
It's just that I love her.
I know you do,Ben.
And so do I.
And I love you for loving Amy.
But,you know,funny thing y, *** **** for the person that you love.
And that's what I'm doing right now,Amy.
I'm coming here to try to make you to realize the awesome responsibility of taking care of a baby and raising a child.
Did you really think getting married would solve anything? Kind of.
Yeah.
I thought that if I just lived here, then somebody could watch the baby while I went to school.
That would be better than daycare,wouldn't it? Someone like? Housekeeper? Yeah,or we could get a nanny.
And have your dad pay for that? Well Ricky should help.
He's the father.
I don't know if he could or if he would, and I-- I don't know if we want him to be involved.
Oh,he's involved.
He said he wants to be involved,and legally,he is,Amy.
Ben.
But Mom,can't we keep him from being involved somehow? No.
I don't thinkat we can.
I mean,he has said that he wants to be involved.
He's made that pretty clear.
We jusn't know howkn.
*** **** You're sYohave a baby.
Look,I'm on your side here,Amy.
I am on your side.
I am not being mean by trying to get you face reality.
But a baby is coming.
And it's not just enough to have a plan.
You have to act on that plan.
So,what is your plan,Amy? Ben? Look,I want to help you.
But I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
And there are no easy answers.
You ei a job, go to school and get someone to help with child care, or you think seriously about adoption.
But whatever choice you make, it has to be what is right for your child,Amy, not just about what is easiest for you.
You can't run away from this.
You have to face the fact that you are halfway through your pregnancy.
And the baby's gonna be here before you know it.
Mom? I think the baby agrees with you.
I think it might be coming right now.
Mom,it's moving,it's really moving.
I thought I felt it before, but I wasn't sure.
Now I'm sure.
Should I call an ambulance? **** It's stoABe.
MIe baby's n comingt now, but it is coming.
Mom,I don't think I can do this.
You can do this,Amy.
You can.
You have to.
It's okay.
