The Secret Life of the American Teenager s02e07 Episode Script

Summertime

?? - ??? - ?? You know?? because of death.
- George Juergens? - The one and only.
You've been served.
Incomplete? Like, I have to do some more work before I can get my report card? More like incomplete, so you're gonna have to go to summer school.
You've been accepted into the Young Healer's Summer Training Program.
Oh.
My dad.
I remember him mentioning something about it.
My parents are kind of getting back together.
- So forget about my mom.
- All right.
And sell us your house.
Pack your bags.
We leave in one hour.
We're just gonna take off and leave Amy and John behind? Who knows if we'll be gone three days or three weeks? We are not gonna be gone for three months.
I have something I need to tell you.
- I'm marrying David.
- But you might change your mind when you hear-- I'm marrying David! Just sign the papers, George.
Oh, I see how it is.
Ben, no.
Listen, I better get going.
I got a plane to catch.
Ben! Have a good summer.
H & A I'm home.
Where are you? Sending Message That's good, right there.
Fine.
Don't text me back.
Dad.
Set, hike! - Jack! - Sorry, Mom.
Tom.
Tom, that is so bad for you.
Do you know how many calories are in that sundae? No, but I have a feeling I'm about to find out.
About 1,700.
Make it an even 2,000.
I didn't eat ice cream all summer.
It wasn't allowed at med camp.
Only heart-healthy foods, because heart disease is the number one killer.
Not in this family.
Lighten up, Doc.
Your bedside manner stinks.
Hi, Ricky.
I just wanted to say good night.
- Just get back from Amy's? - Yeah.
We had trouble getting John to sleep.
Gotta go.
I'm exhausted.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Did you want to come over before school? Yeah.
Why not? See you then.
You sure I have to go? Yes.
You have to go.
But I thought Ruben wasn't staying here tonight.
Mmm, you never know when he might show up.
Good night, Adrian.
Night.
Okay, I have to be home in one hour.
I told my parents I was getting a pack of college-ruled notebook paper and pens.
I've got paper and pens, so we can take the whole hour.
The secret life of the american teenager S02 EP07 So, first day of school.
Yep.
- And Ashley's first day of school.
- Yep.
I hope you're not gonna let you being angry with Ben get in the way of you reaching out to your sister on her very first day of high school.
On my first day of high school, I was pregnant, and I got through it.
I'm sure she'll get through it.
I'm sure she will, because she'll have her big sister helping her out.
Mom, she's not gonna need my help.
Amy, as much as she doesn't want to admit it, I think that Ashley is slightly more insecure than she pretends to be.
So you take care of her, and forget about Ben for today.
How am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to forget that he hasn't called me in two weeks? He didn't even call me last night when he got in.
Well, I'm sure that there's a reason.
You know, he was probably justbusy.
Yeah.
He's probably too busy to even break up with me.
I know that you're having a hard time with Ben, but I don't want you to make Ashley anxious about school.
You and Ben will work things out.
You've been saying that all summer.
- Good morning, Amy.
- It's not a good morning.
- How are you feeling? - I'm okay.
Feel like going up to the house? Oh, let's skip it for today.
We're almost finished.
Yep.
Just a few more things on the punch list, and then-- Then we'll decide when we're moving.
Before the baby comes, right? Well, there's still a lot of decisions we gotta make.
- Yeah.
- I'm going to drive Amy to drop off John, and then I'm gonna drive Amy and Ashley to Ashley's first day of high school.
- George doesn't wanna do that? - I always drive them on their first day.
I want to make sure that Ashley's okay.
It's a big day for her.
It's high school.
I love you.
You, too.
Don't come home pregnant today, okay? No Amy repeats.
And do as your mom says, not as she does.
Don't worry.
I'm not pregnant, and I don't plan on getting pregnant.
Evidently there are no genes for planning a pregnancy in this family, so watch out.
- You nervous? - About? I don't know.
Making new friends.
Finding your way around.
Oh, I got my schedule and my map online, so I think I'll be able to find my way around.
- What about the friends part? - What about it? You're going to high school for the next four years.
You might wanna make a friend.
- No pressure, okay? - Okay.
- Is that what you're wearing? - Yep, this is what I'm wearing.
I just wanna be comfortable.
You look comfortable.
I like it.
It's a good look.
It's not really a look.
It's just what happened.
Most girls your age are going to a lot of trouble to come up with some outfit or something special for the first day of school.
I'm not like most girls, Dad.
Okay.
Whatever you want, pumpkin.
I'm fine with it if you're fine with it.
I am.
So, excited about your first day of school? Good to be back? No.
I loved school.
Yeah, I loved school, too, and then I got pregnant at 15, had a baby, and now it's not as much fun as it used to be.
We're getting married, you know.
Your mother and I.
We're having a baby.
- Whatever.
- I'm gonna be around for a while, so we should work on being friends.
You know, I thought, uh, with your dad and sister riding around the country this summer and with Ben away, that you and I would get a chance to know each other.
But I just never seemed to be able to get your attention all summer.
- I was busy.
- I know.
I still-- I still hold out hope that we could be friends.
- I have friends.
- It's just that, well, I feel a little funny about giving you a car if we're not even friends.
You did complete driver's ed this summer? Yeah, but you can't buy me a car.
No, I can.
What is this, some kind of a bribe? If that's the way you want to look at a brand-spanking-new SUV with leather interior, then I guess it is.
David, I can't-- Where is it? - It'll be here this afternoon.
- Does my mom know? Your mother does.
Your father doesn't.
But I think it'll be fine.
But I won't have my license for three more months.
I think it's best if you practice driving in the car you're going to be driving for the test, don't you? Wow.
Uh, I don't know what else to say.
How about, "I'll try a little harder to get to know you, David.
" - I will.
I promise.
- Well, have a nice day.
Should I walk over and tell your sister to have a nice day? Not unless you have another car.
No, I wouldn't.
I think your mom's right about Ashley being a little anxious.
Tell Mom not to worry.
I'll take care of Ashley.
And I won't even be thinking about Ben.
I managed to forget about him this entire conversation.
An SUV? Ben! Uhh! I can't.
I can't do it.
My head's spinning.
I'm in a fog.
I'm tired, Dad.
I'm so tired.
Can I please just go to school tomorrow? You wanted to stay the extra week, you got the extra week.
All right? I told you it was going to be like this when you came back, but you wanted to stay till the last minute.
So, let's go.
Come on.
Get up.
- Do I have to? - Yes, you have to.
You can't miss the first day of school.
It's like I left my head at the airport in Rome.
You'll be all right.
You need to eat breakfast.
If you eat on time-- breakfast, lunch and dinner-- it'll help you get over your jetlag faster.
And try to get out in the sun every chance you get today.
- That helps, too.
- All right.
So, uh, did you call Amy? No, I, uh-- I didn't wanna wake up John.
You didn't want to wake up John.
- I see.
- What? I didn't.
When's the last time you talked to her? A few days ago.
Well, I was all over Italy the last two weeks.
You know? My phone wasn't working.
I left my battery charger somewhere between Positano and Lake Pusiano, and I just-- Yeah, and you just what? I just wanted a week without calling her.
I called her every day all summer.
I spent most of my paycheck fighting with her on international phone calls, and I realized that, you know, I was coming back and I never got away.
So, I just didn't call her.
I still love her.
I can't wait to get whatever argument we're gonna have about this over with.
I do.
I love her.
Not enough to buy a phone charger? Dad, even you used to take vacations from Mom and me.
- You remember? - Yeah, I remember.
We missed you, but we had a good time, the two of us.
I know.
Dad, did you and Mom ever have to work at having a relationship? When I was in Italy, I didn't see anybody working at their relationship.
I saw couples on their first vacation together.
I saw newlyweds on their honeymoon.
I saw people who'd been together for 50 years.
Nobody seemed to be working at their relationship.
They just seemed to be happy and in love and That's what I want.
I'm 16.
And while I was working the whole summer, cleaning tables and washing dishes, I was also working on having a relationship with Amy.
I don't think a relationship should be work.
It should just-- should happen.
I agree.
The experts, however, would disagree.
I don't care about the experts.
Either Amy and I are just happy being together, and we don't have to discuss how to be happy being together every time we're around each other, or Or? Good morning.
Oh.
You lookcomfortable.
I am.
Are we ready to go? Is that what you're wearing to your first day of high school? - Yeah.
- Because? Because I feel like it.
It's just that, uh, I don't want you to feel out of place.
Yeah, Amy doesn't want you to feel out of place.
I'm not gonna feel out of place.
It's just high school.
"Just"? "Just high school"? No.
There is no "just high school.
" There is if you don't make it important.
And I'm not gonna make it important.
It's not important.
It's just a legal requirement that I'm obligated to participate in for the next four years, unless or until I do pass the GED and opt out.
Well, all right.
Then, uh, let's just go.
We have time.
- For? - For her to change.
I'm not changing.
- You can if you want.
- I don't want.
First impressions are very important, Ashley.
Go change.
Is that, uh, baby puke on your shirt? No.
I thought it was.
Can we go now? Yeah.
Um, Amy, why don't you get John? And then we'll just go.
Yeah.
I'll grab John.
And you talk to her.
She can't go to school like that.
You really do look comfortable.
You said that already.
Yeah, I did.
Because you do.
- This is what I'm wearing.
- Okay.
- What? - I just can't believe it's your first day of high school.
It seems like yesterday I was taking you to kindergarten.
Well, soon you'll have another daughter to take off to kindergarten.
Oh, we don't know if it's a girl.
We didn't want to know.
Yeah, we know we didn't want to know.
We just wanted to change the subject about what we are wearing to school.
You can wear anything you want.
It's just that you usually look a little bit nicer.
You have a lot of clothes to choose from.
- Why'd you choose that? - Didn't really think about it.
- Really? - Really.
Well, think about it.
Maybe you'll want to change.
And hurry up.
We have to go and get this day over with and get my SUV.
Didn't David tell you? He's buying me a car.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about the brand-new SUV I'll be coming home to after what promises to be?? What, are you going somewhere? - First day of school.
- Are you sleeping over? Do you know how many back injuries there are from heavy backpacks? Don't you have a locker? I don't always get a chance to go to my locker.
We used these at med camp.
They're great.
It was a life-changing experience.
- For all of us.
- How so? Now we can't stand talking to you.
Before this, you were a normal person.
Now you're a normal person who thinks she is a doctor.
You're in high school.
I know, Tom.
That'll be Jack.
He's taking me to school.
Oh.
You're still here.
I'm still here.
Come on in, Tammy.
What? I hate the way you talk to me.
Really, Tammy? How's that? Get your hand off me! Why do you touch everyone and go "what" in their face? Tammy don't want you to touch her.
Or get in my face.
That's what instills confidence in the patient.
A doctor has to instill confidence within the first 15 seconds of meeting them.
So it helps to call them by their name, put your hand on them, and look them right in the eye.
- You're not a doctor.
- Yeah, you're not a doctor.
But I'm gonna be a doctor.
Dad never touch anyone and look in the face like that.
I bet he did.
You just never noticed it 'cause he did it so often, you never noticed it.
I'm still practicing.
Don't practice on us, okay? Yeah.
Wait until you get a license.
Everything, really, you know.
Shouldn't you be at school? How are you going to be a doctor if you don't go to school? I'm going to school.
I'm going to school, and the two of you can have the house to yourself.
Wait a minute, Tom.
Did Mom say it was okay for you to have company over while she's at the dentist? For me to know and you to find out.
And when you find out, it'll be too late.
Bye.
Have a good day at school.
Bye.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I missed you so much this summer.
I missed you too, Grace.
How are you, Jack? I'm okay, unless you tell me otherwise.
- You look great.
- You do, too.
Why are you touching my arm like that? And why are you looking at me like that? I'm instilling confidence in you as my patient.
Or I'm just practicing.
Just something that doctors do.
- Oh.
- It's something we learned this summer.
I learned the cross buck pass.
I learned that 47% of high school football players suffer from groin injuries.
So make sure you wear a cup this season.
Geez, Grace, that's kind of personal.
It's not personal, it's medical.
It's science.
I just don't like hearing you say something like "cup.
" Jack, I focused on sports medicine at camp.
Yeah, you told me.
A few times.
I just find it so interesting.
- Mm-hmm.
You ready to go? - Yeah.
What's that? That is the way I'll be avoiding permanent back injury during the school year.
- Grace, I'll carry your books for you.
- No need.
It's just that I'd look like Well, I don't want to roll a pink book bag around school.
You don't have to.
I'll do it.
All right.
But I don't mind carrying your books.
Well, I don't mind rolling my own books.
- So, you ready? - Yes.
I can't wait for this year.
- Me, too.
- Oh, did I tell you that Jason and Madison broke up? - Jason who? - Jack, Jason.
Jason Treacy, Lauren's brother, who I was at med camp with.
Jason was dating Madison.
Lauren and Madison are best friends.
Lauren and Madison are Amy's best friends.
- Oh.
- Anyway, when he got back from med camp, he just felt like she was too casual about her future.
- She's a sophomore.
- Exactly.
I mean, she's got three years, and then what? What college? What career? I'm a junior, and I don't even know the answer to those questions.
I'm glad you brought that up.
I hope you're going to be figuring that out this year, 'cause next fall, you'll have to start applying for colleges.
True.
And then after college, I'm hoping we can get married.
Before I go to med school.
So, no groin injuries.
Where's Dr.
Grace Bowman? She's on her way to the car.
I'll see you later, Tom.
- Wait.
- What? Do you got a condom on you? For what? A water balloon.
- No.
- Are you sure? I'm sure.
Really? All right.
I have a condom, but I'm not gonna give it to you.
Unless you and Tammy are You're not And if you are, you should have your own.
?? I???still thinking about it.
No?? You u are.
That was a trick question??? Bye.
Told you.
Better not kill Mom.
That's all I'm saying.
- Thanks, Adrian.
- No.
Thank you.
Mmm.
I love the back-to-school schedule.
Can you come over here every morning after Ruben leaves for work? I'll try.
Will you? Why do we have to turn something fun into a commitment? It was fun.
Let's just leave it at that.
The whole summer was fun.
I don't know what I like more-- working at the butcher shop or having sex with you over the butcher shop.
Oh, please tell me you like me best.
All right.
I like you best.
- Do you love me? - Adrian.
- Just say you love me.
- Why? Because Ben came back from Italy last night, and he's thinking about breaking up with Amy.
And I don't want Amy running to you when he breaks up with her.
How do you know what Ben's thinking? I know, 'cause I talked to him last night.
Have you been talking to him all summer? Um, I talked to him a few times this summer.
You didn't tell me that.
I don't tell you everything.
You don't tell me everything.
I don't want you and Ben to be friends.
I told you that.
- You and Amy are friends.
- Amy and I have a son together.
Yeah, and I'm your girlfriend, and Ben's Amy's boyfriend, and when you and Amy are together, Ben and I talksometimes.
I told you, I don't want you sleeping with anyone else.
I thought we had an understanding about that.
I'm not having sex with Ben! - You're talking with Ben.
- So? So talking leads to sex.
Everyone talks! - Everyone has sex.
- Not Ben! He didn't have sex this summer? I thought that's what he went over there for.
- He went over there for a summer job.
- And sex.
Well, he didn't have sex.
But he would tell you if he did because the two of you were talking about sex.
I love you.
Okay? And I'm not gonna have sex with Ben orany other guy.
I hope not.
Because if you do, Adrian, I'm never gonna have sex with you again.
I feel the same way, Ricky.
Look, I know you think it's okay for you to have sex with anyone you want because of your family and what happened to you growing up.
But you're all grown up now, and you can't keep blaming what you do on other people.
You have a son, you have a job, and you have an apartment.
You're all on your own now, so you are responsible for you.
I'm not looking the other way this year.
I'm not.
Okay.
I'm not gonna look the other way, either, then.
So if you go off and sleep with your brother again-- Oh, whoa, whoa.
My step-brother, who I have no connection with? - Other than sex.
- I didn't know that bothered you so much.
I'm just saying I'm not gonna look the other way, either.
- Okay! - Okay.
See you at school? Yeah.
See you at school, Adrian.
And you better not be with Ben or Jack or anyone else.
And?? You are the world's worst driver.
- No, I'm not.
- No, you are.
It's driver's education, "education" being the key word.
I am being educated in the art of driving.
Well, maybe that's your problem.
You're trying to make driving an art.
It's a skill-- a learned skill.
Sorry.
I couldn't keep my mind on the road.
You know what I mean.
Alice, please, don't say anything.
What? It was great.
What was great? Henry.
Whoa.
What happened to your eye? You don't wanna know.
So, how are you this morning? Recovered yet? I don't think you really recover from a summer like that, Henry.
I just think you learn to put it all in perspective.
- What did you do? - Don't tell her.
Fine.
Don't tell me.
And I won't tell you.
There's nothing to tell.
Not really.
Why? Do you have something to tell me? No.
Did you call Amy? Almost every day, for a while, and then not so much.
When was the last time you talked to her? I don't know.
Maybe 10 days ago.
You broke up.
No.
I left my phone charger at a hotel I was staying at, and I never had the chance.
We didn't break up.
- Not yet, anyway.
- Are you going to break up? I'm not going to break up with her, but she may break up with me.
Because you didn't call her? I don't think she'd break up with you because you didn't call her.
Did you do something else? Like? Like what you went there to do? I went there to work.
And I worked.
Everything but yearbook staff.
Uh, yeah.
That's when I have home economics.
You don't have to take home economics.
You can take P.
E.
- I wanna take home economics.
- Why? So I can learn how to manage a home.
What's so hard about managing a home? I don't know, but I guess I'll find out.
I should've signed up for home economics.
Maybe I'll change from P.
E.
Then we won't have P.
E.
together.
Well, then, maybe I'll drop yearbook staff.
- What? - I don't wanna be alone.
You're not alone.
You're at school.
- You know what I mean.
- No.
Oh, please.
This isn't about Jason, is it? Yes, it's about Jason.
He might just be a brother to you, but he was everything to me.
No, he wasn't.
He was just someone to go out with that you were comfortable being with.
You need a real boyfriend.
I need a real boyfriend.
This is the year we get boyfriends.
I don't know if I can live through the pain of another breakup.
Me, either.
I don't think I can live through the pain of your going through another breakup.
So here's the plan: You had a boyfriend last year.
I have a boyfriend this year.
But I want a boyfriend, too.
Then you'll just have to live with the next painful breakup, and you'll have to do better this time around.
Hi, Madison.
How are you doing? I'm okay, I guess.
Good.
Good.
Well, have a nice day.
Okay.
Lauren.
Maybe we're not broken up.
No.
You're broken up.
Did you see how he touched me? He was, like, this close to my face.
Med camp.
He's just trying to instill confidence in you as a doctor.
But he's not a doctor.
Yeah, well, try telling him that.
Look, I'm telling you, you will be happy you broke up with him.
Hi.
I'm new here.
I'm Griffin.
Okay, I'm not just new.
I'm also a freshman.
Hi, freshman.
Griffin.
You don't look like a freshman.
Are you freshmen? No.
Do we look like freshmen? I don't know.
Well, what are your names? - Madison.
- Lauren.
Madison, Lauren, could you tell me where the counselor's office is? I don't care if he's a freshman.
I'm taking him.
Lauren, you can't date a freshman.
Yes, I can.
When are they getting a counselor? I don't know.
I hope they don't get one, 'cause I get paid to do two jobs until they do get one.
Hi.
Come back later.
Maybe he needed something.
Everybody needs something.
What do you need? A bettercup.
Do they make a better cup than the ones we already have? And why is that? Just concerned about injuries.
- Grace? - Grace? She went to brainiac camp, didn't she? Yeah.
For future medical students.
Future medical students? Please! What percentage of those students do you think ever really reach med school? - I don't know.
- I don't know, either, but I do know that every year, I lose a player to fear.
Coach, I'm not afraid.
I'm just being cautious.
Because you're afraid of a groin injury.
I wanna have children someday with Grace.
Son, do you really think I'd be coaching high school football if I thought for one minute that one of my players might get a groin injury and will never be able to have children? Last year, Lucky Chucky dropped out because of a groin injury.
Yeah.
Lucky Chucky wasn't so lucky.
Do you know where his girlfriend spent her summer? Med camp? - Pneumonal.
- Try microscopic.
- Silico vochino.
- Kineisis.
That was hysterical.
What was hysterical? Hi, Ricky.
Good to see you.
How are you, Grace? I'm fine, Ricky.
And how are you? I mean that.
How are you? - Grace.
- Adrian! - Are you doing okay? - Oh.
I think so.
What's with the close talk? Oh, nothing.
It's a doctor technique.
How was your summer? Oh, we were busy.
Really busy.
Weren't we, Ricky? Yeah.
I worked at the butcher shop and spent a lot of time with John.
- And me.
- And her.
- "Her"? - And how's John? Oh.
Thank you for asking.
He's fine.
- And Amy? - She's fine, too.
Until Ben breaks up with her.
- Ben is breaking up with her? - Maybe.
Are you still talking to Ben? Oh, there's no harm in just talking to someone.
No, there is, depending on who you're talking to and what you're talking about.
Whatislife? Anyone know the answer? Of course not.
All we know is that there is life.
And from life comes life.
If I just focus on what she's saying, maybe I won't think about oral sex.
- Don't think about it.
Don't - The indication that life is present Oh.
Wait.
What did she just say? I didn't even know what I was doing, which means I don't know if I can do that again.
The pressure.
I hate the pressure.
We adapt.
I bet they're doing it.
Am I the only person in here thinking about sex? I don't know.
Maybe I should've had sex with Jason.
But he didn't ask me.
I wonder why he didn't ask me.
I'm sexy.
I know, I know.
Sexy is as sexy does.
Or is it pretty is as pretty does? I'd rather feel sexy than pretty.
Well, on the other hand-- Uh-oh.
Did she just call on me? - Smile.
- The ground forces the seed into a sprout, and then a flower.
Whew.
Oh, geez.
The old pistil and stamen.
Could we just get to the nitty-gritty? Or could you point me to the direction of a nice pistil? Really.
Wow.
They're really paying attention.
I'm finally gonna have a good year.
Finally.
Amy Juergens, you're the most beautiful, most frustrating woman on earth.
You're dismissed.
Except for you two.
You two can copy chapter 1 into your little notebooks.
It's basically everything that I said.
Now, I know we all know what you said, but maybe you'd like to know what I said.
Not really.
Not really.
Hey there.
How's your day going? Who wants to know? Oh.
Nice attitude.
Griffin.
Ashley, the teen mother's sister.
Well, I know that's why everyone's staring at me.
I'm the sister.
I-- I'm new here.
I don't know anything about that.
Well, my sister's in the tenth grade, and she had a baby last year.
Wow.
Uh, I mean, you know, stuff happens.
Yeah.
Well, maybe you can point her out to me.
Oh, she's pretty easy to spot.
She's the really pretty one with the French horn who's unusually tired.
Is she tired from dragging around the horn or the baby? The baby, and just from being Amy.
So, are you planning to get pregnant your first year here? No.
Sorry.
I'm not.
I'm not even planning to date my first year here.
Maybe not even any year here, you know? I don't want guys to think I'd have sex just 'cause my sister had sex once.
Is that true? It was just once? - Yeah.
- Uh Believe me, when you meet her, you'll realize it's totally true.
All right.
So you have lunch now? Yep.
Do you wanna have lunch with me? You make it sound as if it's a date.
No, it's not a date.
It's a lame attempt to make sure I'm not sitting by myself in the lunchroom.
Not that I haven't before.
All right.
As long as you're not gonna try to have sex with me.
I'm not gonna try to have sex with you.
I'm gay, okay? It's okay with me.
Wow.
Maybe we could even be friends.
You know, I don't think I've ever had a friend before, and my dad's been really anxious for me to make one.
Is this guy bothering you? Ah, the father but not the boyfriend.
Ricky, Griffin.
Griffin, Ricky.
And no, he's not bothering me.
All right.
Well, I was just looking out for you.
I don't need anyone to look out for me.
Come on.
You got it.
I think you could be wrong about that.
Aha! - "Aha"? - I knew when she walked through the door that you would go after her.
- Who? - Ashley.
That's who.
Don't be ridiculous.
She's Amy's little sister.
So? So she's Amy's little sister.
You think I'd go after my son's aunt? I don't think that would stop you from going after her-- the fact that she's your son's aunt.
Look, let's not play this game, all right? Either we trust each other, or we don't trust each other.
- Do you trust me, or don't you? - Do you trust me? - No.
- I don't trust you either.
Then I guess it's just a matter of not getting caught, isn't it? - You wanted to see me? - Yeah, Grace.
Have a seat.
- I want to talk to you.
- Okay.
I don't want you to see or talk to Jack Pappas for the rest of the football season.
It's not good for the team.
It's not good for Jack.
But why? I don't want him distracted.
The other players have girlfriends.
Not girlfriends who wanna be doctors.
I don't like those kind of girlfriends.
- Why not? - I don't want my players afraid of getting hurt.
If all Jack can think about is getting injured, he's not gonna be much use to me.
Well, maybe he shouldn't play football.
Maybe you shouldn't be a doctor.
Maybe you shouldn't be the counselor and the football coach.
But I am.
You're right, Coach.
You are.
I completely understand.
I don't want Jack or any of the other players worried about groin injuries.
- That should be the last thing on their mind.
- I agree.
Which is why I think you should look into a groin-strengthening program.
It's 15, 20 minutes a day at the most.
And it's cutting groin injuries in half.
Don't say "cut" and "groin" in the same sentence, Doc.
Thanks for the tip.
You want me to get you the information on the program? Preventative medicine is the best medicine.
And when the players don't have to worry about those types of injuries, I bet they'll be able to focus on the game.
Oh, you're good.
Thanks.
I was top of my class at camp.
Are you thinking of getting into sports medicine? I am kind of interested in it.
I got interested in it because of Jack.
All right.
You can go out with him.
Just don't talk to him.
I'll try not to.
Thanks, Coach.
I mean, um, maybe I could get a schedule change.
- Yeah, maybe you could.
- But I'd hate to do that.
Because even if we do break up, I hope we can still be friends.
Yeah.
I hope we can still be friends, too.
Is that what you want-- just to be friends? No, that's not what I want.
But I can understand if that's all you want, especially after your summer in Italy.
Amy, wait.
I didn't do anything.
I just took some time to see the country while I was there.
- With your girlfriend.
- No.
She was just a girl I worked with.
I went with her and her girlfriend.
They wanted to show me some things before I left.
Girlfriend girlfriend, or girlfriend? - They're not gay.
- Oh.
Neither am I.
And I'm not either, but what does that mean? I still love you, Amy.
But I'm a guy, and I want to have sex.
- And if we're not gonna have sex, then-- - Then you're breaking up with me.
- No.
- If that's all you want, I'm breaking up with you.
That is not what I was going to say.
I was gonna say, then we have to find some things we have in common.
We have to find some things to do together with John as a family.
We have to find a way to spend time together and enjoy being with each other.
And I hope we can do that, Amy, because I do love you.
Really? Really.
I'm 16, and I have a baby.
Yeah.
This is turning out to maybe not be such a bad first day of school after all.
You still love me.
I'm so happy that you still love me, Ben.
Once I get home, David's getting me a new car.
Does your dad know about that? Well, then I would hold off?? Look who's home! My little John! How's my little John? How are you, sweetie? How was it, Ash? How was Your first day of high school? That.
Um, it was fine.
Fine? I want details.
Well, the bell rang, and I went to class.
The bell rang, I went to the next class.
The bell rang again, and I went to another class.
And then the bell rang, and I went to lunch.
How was lunch? Did Amy sit with you? No.
She has her own friends.
- So did you sit all by yourself? - Mom, I'm not a total loser.
I did not sit by myself.
I sat with a guy.
- A guy? - Yeah, a guy.
Well, Ashley, I hope that you're gonna have some girlfriends as well as boyfriends.
I'm sure you're gonna be very popular with the boys.
But it's nice to have some girlfriends, too, don't you think? - I don't know.
- Well, so, it went okay, right? - Yeah.
- Good.
Where's Amy? She's talking to Dad.
They told me to come in here.
- What are they talking about? - I don't know.
That's why they sent me in here.
Mom, I think I might've done something bad.
- What something bad? - Well, I told Dad about the car.
- What? - I just thought he should know.
But I told you that I was gonna talk to David about it.
- Did you? - No, I told him to wait, and we would talk about it later.
- The three of us? - No, Amy.
The two of us.
He wants to buy me a car.
It's a brand-new SUV.
- Well, Amy, he can't.
- He can't? He already did.
He's supposed to bring it home this afternoon, and I just didn't want Dad to get upset when it got here.
- Where's your dad? - I guess on his way back to work.
- Ashley, call him.
- Who? - Your father! - Oh, right.
- Ash.
- Dad? What do you want? - Motorcycle accident? - It's nothing.
I'm selling the bike.
- Good.
- I was on my way to your boyfriend's office, but apparently he's already left for the car dealership.
Look, I told him that I was gonna talk to him later, which is my way of saying no.
I just hadn't gotten around to the "no" part yet.
Yeah, I'll get to that part.
He's not bribing my daughter with a car.
- SUV.
- Girls, I need a minute with your mother.
Now! I lied.
I didn't have a vasectomy.
Oh, nice.
I thought maybe it just came undone.
No, I lied.
So I'm just gonna say it.
I think that's my baby, Anne.
Yeah, I think it is, too.
In fact, I know it is.
David knows it, too.
I figured that if you weren't in love with me anymore, if you didn't want me or the baby, then-- What are you talking about? I love you.
I've always loved you.
Well, why didn't you say anything? Especially after you thought it was your baby? Because I thought-- I thought you were in love with this guy, and I thought he was everything you wanted.
You deserve to have whatever you want.
If you're not in love with this guy, and you knew it was my baby, why'd you serve me with divorce papers? - Why'd you sign them? - I thought you didn't love me anymore.
And I thought you didn't want the baby to be my baby even if you knew it was my baby.
Obviously, you didn't wanna have any more children with me, or you wouldn't have insisted I get neutered.
I didn't plan on having any more children, George.
We weren't planning on having the first two.
How did you manage not to get me pregnant for 10 years after you lied about the vasectomy? Calendar.
I kept a calendar.
As the years went on, chances grew slimmer.
You relied on a stupid calendar for birth control? Are you insane? Hey, I didn't care if we got pregnant or not.
I always wanted another child.
David loves me, and he's willing to take care of me and the baby.
We're not in love, but we love each other.
And we're happy, pretty much.
- "Pretty much"? - Well, it's very comfortable.
"Comfortable"? You're settling for comfortable? I'm comfortable with comfortable.
And I like working with him, and he wants a family.
Well, he can't have my family.
The three of you-- you, Amy and John-- moving up to that house you're renovating? Amy doesn't wanna move.
We have a guest house for her, but she doesn't wanna move.
She wants to stay here and finish high school.
But David thinks that she'd be better off there.
- He thinks she'll be very happy there.
- Who cares what David thinks? And why would she do better there than here? If she did agree to move, you're gonna leave Ashley here and never see her again? No.
I figured that Ashley would come up on the weekends, and that maybe later on, she would move in with us if she wanted, if you wanted.
Look, I know that Ashley's very happy living with you.
She's happier living with her dad than with her mom.
It's every teenage girl's dream and every mother's worst nightmare.
I know.
I read, you know.
Well, not fiction, but I do read.
That's why I thought it'd be best if we stayed close by.
Anne, you can't move.
You can't take Amy.
You can't take John.
You can't take my grandson.
And you can't take our baby.
He can't take you.
I love you.
- So you lied about the vasectomy? - Yeah.
So it is my baby? Well, unless the due date is way off, it's yours.
I can fix this.
I can fix it.
George, I think that things have gone too far to fix.
David and I have worked it all out.
It's too late.
It's never too late.
Let me fix it.
How?
