Everwood s02e14 Episode Script
No Sure Thing
/ Come to me now / For many years now, for the hope-filled, home-owned driven youth of town.
You won't find it on any map but everyone knows exactly where it is.
We call it The Point.
/ Broken in two / / And I know you're on to me / -Give me a second.
-Ow.
I got it.
OK.
Sorry.
It's OK.
I'm a little pointy.
Yeah.
Pointy all the way to my jaw.
-OK.
-Better? Yeah, a little.
/ And not everything is the way you think it ought to be / / Seems that every time I try to make it right, it all comes down on me/ No.
Hold on.
What? No.
Nothing.
It's just I've um That was new.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I, did I freak you out? No, don't apologize.
I just need to re-group here for a second.
I'm just not really used to that.
Oh.
If you mean you had never No, no.
Did you think I had? Uh, yeah.
I mean, you know, you always seem,like, so comfortable and together with yourself that I just assumed you and Colin had No, we never had.
But th- that's very nice.
Um, it's a big compliment seeing as that's not at all how I feel.
I'lll be careful now.
/Never again/ -I would have done that if I -I know.
You know, I'm not going to be like this forever.
That's fine.
Fine.
I'm ready when you're ready and you know what? If you're never ready, you know, it's cool with me.
I don't care.
It's not what I meant to do.
It's an interesting personality, isn't it? Don't worry.
I'll have them fix the dose.
On this unchartered piece of rock, many of Everwood's young peoples first discovered their capacity for passion and sometimes for love.
For them, the view of The Point will be forever etched in their hearts and minds.
A reminder of one special moment when everthing changed.
"No Sure Thing" Is it a person? Nope.
It has to be.
There's nothing left.
Is it a plant? A plant is a thing.
Well, not exactly.
Plants are alive and things are inanimate objects.
Oh.
Well, then is it a plant? No.
Well, we're here.
To be continued, kiddo.
I'm just going to walk Linda to her front door.
Good night, Delia.
Good night.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
A cartoon character's an inanimated objects.
You're getting warmer.
So begins the great thaw of 2004.
I think, she's actually starting not to hate me.
Are you kidding? She gave you some of her curly fries.
She's crazy about you.
Which is why? Which is why what? Which is why I don't think she would mind or anyone would mind for that matter.
I know that I certainly would not mind.
You're doing that thing where you actually don't finish your thoughts out loud.
I want you to sleep over at my house this Saturday night.
Wow, that's a big step.
I know.
That's what I liked about it.
Well, what do the kids think? I'm sure they'll be fine with it.
Yeah.
Why don't you get back to me after you've had that conversation? You know, I have this picture in my head that just won't go away.
I see, you and I sitting at a breakfast table, in our pjs, sipping coffee, reading the Sunday paper.
Nice picture.
Let's give it a try.
I'm tired of waiting.
Is it Nemo? You know, it kinda defeats the purpose if you highlight the whole book, right? Ahem.
Did your underage boyfriend finish my fudgesicles? I took one.
OK.
Does he not understand the concept of labels? The post-it clearly said Carrie right on the box.
Well, why don't you ask him directly as he's sitting right next to me? He touches another one of my fudgy pops, I'm calling child services.
Wow, I can't believe I was once mad at you for not introducing me to your friends.
Well, she's not my friend, she's my roommate.
Are you stuck with her for all of college or can you switch roommates like majors? Well, the good news is she's going to Boise this weekend to visit her boyfriend, which means he's either fictional or crazy.
But who cares, I'm just happy we have the place to ourselves for once.
We? Well, yeah, if you want to come over.
It'd be nice to hang out without somebody walking in on us every five minutes.
Yeah.
Duh.
Yeah.
She leaves after 5.
You can come right after.
OK.
Hopefully, I'll be done with my paper by then.
I don't really know what to think.
Well, did you want to? I didn't not want to.
It's just.
I didn't see it as a possibility, in my mind, it was never really on the menu, you know? And now it is? Yeah.
Big time.
Go for it.
Why not? He's great and you like him, right? Yeah.
I like him a lot.
And he probably knows what he's doing? Laynie? So just out of curiosity, what is it exactly I'm supposed to do? Well, you really don't have to worry about that part.
You can just lie there at first.
Gee, it sounds so romantic when you put it that way.
Uh, it's not going to be romantic.
I mean, it might be and it could be, but if you build it up in your mind as this big thing that's going to change your life forever, you're just going to be disappointed.
Trust me, the lower your expectations are the better.
Maybe I'm not ready to do this after all.
And that's fine.
Just don't wait to long and end up like Rachel Hoffer's sister? What happened to Rachel Hoffer's sister? Twenty nine years old and never did it.
Now she's petrified that she's going to die a virgin.
It's really sad.
God.
Hello girls.
How's the studying going? Oh, it's going great, Grandma.
Dude, that's awesome.
I don't know.
All she said was my roommate's going to Boise for the weekend.
I know.
That's awesome.
Your girlfriend just told you that you have her entire place to yourself for the whole weekend.
The whole place, the whole weekend.
That's a major invitation to the big leagues.
No.
No.
We haven't even talked about sex yet.
Dude, come on.
I mean, don't you get it, she's signaling the picture.
Oh, please don't use sports metaphors, right now.
I-I need to understand - what you're saying.
-OK.
OK.
Look, women do no speak English.
They speak in code.
You have to translate everything they say.
Madison's not just going to come out and say "Hey, Ephram, why don't you come over Friday and do me?" For many reasons.
Right.
So she's gonna speak in code, right? You know, how like when a girl says "Do you like my sweater?" what she really means is "tell me how good I look".
When Madison says you get to spend some uninterrupted time together, what she means is you might want to stop by the drugstore on the way over.
She did say I should come over as soon as her roommate leaves.
Hello.
Does the little ass need to hit you over the head with a heavy object here? She's achin' for some Brown lovin'.
Dish it up and serve it hot, my friend.
OK.
What should I do to prepare? I don't know.
Uh, is there something special ritual that you Jewish kids do or just kinda like that God and pray you don't screw it up like the rest of us? Amy.
Sorry, but your grandmother's already gone for the day.
Yeah, I know.
You OK? Umm, do you have a minute? So I know this is weird.
Uh, and believe me if there was anybody else that I could talk to in this town I would, but seeing as there isn't, uh, I was hoping that maybe we could just pretend that we were fine.
I can do that.
I need to go on the pill.
Birth control? Yeah.
So what do I need to do? Blood tests or ? Let's-let's slow down for a second.
Let me catch up here, OK? Are you, uh, are you currently involved in a in a sexual relationship? What do you mean exactly? I mean, yeah, I'm in a relationship, but I mean, we haven't had.
It hasn't happened yet.
Oh.
OK.
Well good.
This is good.
So this is simply a precautionary measure? Yeah.
And you you're just thinking about having sex? Well, obviously or I wouldn't be here right now.
Look, if this is too weird because of the family connections or because you're my aunt's boyfriend? I'm a doctor.
Doctors don't get weird.
I know, but Laynie told me about a Planned Parenthood in Denver.
I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to go.
You don't have to.
I'm happy to help.
I just want to make sure that you've thought this decision through carefully.
Well, um, I looked up all the possibilities on the Net.
Norplant and all that.
And the pill just seemed like the right choice.
No.
I'm talking about the decision to have sex.
Have you talked to anybody about it? Anyone other than Laynie? Well, who would I talk to? Well, I know you're-you're having some problems with your family right now, but I'm sure that your father would want to help you.
No offense, Dr.
Brown, but even if I wasn't in a massive fight with my dad right now, I still wouldn't talk to him about it or my mom.
I mean, I think these things are private.
Well, what about your grandmother? I mean, there's- there's a lot of compassion underneath all that cackling.
I came here specifically when I knew she wouldn't be here.
Does that answer your question? Look, I'm sixteen.
I'm thinking about having sex and I want to be safe about it if or when I decide to do it and is that so wrong? No.
No.
It's not.
You realize that the pill doesn't protect against any STDs? I know, I have condoms.
Look, Amy, I'm sure I'm the last person on earth you-you want advise from right now, but I'm gonna give you a little.
Don't be afraid to make sure that everything's right.
You're never gonna get this moment back.
Well, I appreciate what you're saying, Dr.
Brown, but.
.
I had the right person in my like, unfortunately, we ran out of time.
I'm just being realistic.
So will you write the prescription? I'll have to take, uh, medical history, get blood and urine samples and, uh, if it all checks out.
Yes, I'll write the prescription.
Thank you.
Hi.
Bye.
Wait a second.
I need to talk to you and your sister.
Delia? Uh, just so you know, uh, Bright is having this all night poker game with some of the guys.
I'm gonna spend the night, is that cool? Uh, sure.
Great.
What happened? Nothing happened.
Just a family meeting.
What did you do? No one did anything.
Sit down.
There's something I wanna discuss with the two of you.
Are we supposed to guess? OK, as you know Linda Abbott and I have been seeing each other rather regularly.
Not on any formal basis, but, uh, with a general and healthy evolution toward a relationship, which is a loaded term in and of itself.
Dad, you're not addressing the Senate.
Right.
Well, the point is we've been dating awhile and we really like each other a lot and I thought it would be nice if after she came over for dinner on Saturday night that she could well stay.
Forever? No.
No.
No.
Just for the night.
You know, like a sleepover.
Just a sleepover.
I mean, I want to make sure that you two are both OK with it, not that there is any reason not to be OK with it.
It's no big deal.
The whole point is for it not to be a big deal.
I want Linda to be comfortable coming here from time to time and-and you two having her here.
Yeah, I know, I mean.
Sure.
That's, uh, fine with me.
Anyway, I gotta go.
I'll, uh, see you guys tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Poker game.
Work with me, Dad.
Oh, right.
Have fun.
So, how 'bout you? What would happen when she's here? Would I have to do anything? No.
Not if you didn't want to.
It'd be just like any other night, except we- we'd be baking those snowflake cookies that you've been wanting to make so much.
And? Um, watching "The Princess Diaries".
I'm still listening.
And, uh, cutting up double-stuffed Oreos to make quadruple-stuffed Oreos.
I guess it would be OK with me.
Dr.
Brown's office Lab results Ok.
Just a sec, let me get the file.
What's the name on it? What do you mean you didn't get a name? Alright, just give me the number he gave you and I'll find the file myself OK, and the panel OK, got it.
Thanks.
What the hell? What are you doing Saturday night? Well, I think I'm going out for dinner with Orlando Bloom? Oh, no, wait, that's Friday.
Just kidding, why what's up? Umm, Chris Bailey is having this really cool party at his parents' ski chalet and I don't know, it's going to be huge.
I thought it might be fun.
No, it sounds great.
Actually, it sounds kind of perfect.
Perfect.
How? Well, this beautiful ski chalet all snowy and fancy.
Sounds like it could be kind of romantic, doesn't it? Umm, yeah.
Yeah.
I guess.
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking that it might be the perfect place to, you know.
Seriously? Well, why not.
It's better than doing it at the point, isn't it? Yeah.
Um, yeah, it is.
I just.
I mean, when did this happen? Well, I've been thinking about it and I think I'm ready to take the next step.
Stop looking so shocked, 'cause it's freaking me out.
Sorry, I just.
I'm a little-I'm a little taken aback here, you know.
Um, the other night, you were Taken by surprise, but after careful consideration an visiting a doctor, I've You-you went to a doctor? Well, yeah, if we're gonna do this thing, I want to be prepared.
I thought you'd be happy.
I am.
I'm I'm- I'm totally happy.
I just don't want you to be doing this for any reason other than the fact that you really want to, you know what I mean? I do want to.
Will it make you feel horrible, if I told you, that part of me just kind of wants to get it over with? Well, I mean, it wouldn't make me feel great, you know.
See, um, none of this is really happening the way I thought it would.
For as long as I could remember, I-I thought it would be Colin.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I'm sorry.
I totally missed it before and you know what, you're awesome.
We don't need to do this if you don't want to.
What time should I pick you up on Saturday? This better be some kind of bad joke? Where did you find this? On your desk.
The lab called with her blood work.
Are you out of your mind? What were you thinking putting my granddaughter on birth control pills? She's sixteen for crying out loud.
Better hope she is.
Is she having sex? You must of asked her as part of the preliminary physical, which by the way, I don't recall.
Did you schedule something when you knew I'd be out? That's confidential.
I am her grandmother and her guardian.
She's living under my roof.
That may well be, but in this office, you are her nurse.
That's all.
Like hell.
I'm sorry, Edna.
But there's nothing more that I can tell you, if and when Amy chooses to discuss -the matter with you.
-.
.
She's not gonna discuss it with me.
I don't even want to know about it now, -but when I tell Junior.
-You do and you're fired.
You can't expect me to keep this from him.
Look, I know this is difficult.
As a father, I feel for him, I do.
But we have obligations in this office.
-Did you know she was on? -Yes.
and there are no known connections between Zoloft and OCPs.
That's not the point.
The fact that she's even on drugs, proves she's not equipped to make this decision right now.
The girl isn't entirely stable.
Well, she has the good sense to come in and ask for help.
And the fact of the matter is that if I didn't write that prescription for her someone else would have.
Oh, don't give me crap and call it ice cream.
How would you feel if you knew Ephram was running around buying condoms behind your back and not telling you about it? Well, fortunately, Ephram's not having sex yet.
-I'm sure that when the time comes -How do you know he's not? Because I just do.
Uh, huh.
Good luck with that.
Hey.
I couldn't decide if we should order pizza or Chinese so I called both.
But five bucks says the Kung Pao gets her first, although the pizza guy has a pretty supped-up Camaro.
You look nice.
So do you.
So the good news is that I blew my music theory paper and the better news is that now I have a makeup essay to write.
Well, I think I might know what'll make you feel better.
Whoa, hang on a second.
Whoa, whoa, was that bad? I'm sitting on a book.
Whoa, what's with all the rushing? Well, I'm just a little nervous, I don't want to mess this up.
Mess what up? Well, you know.
I've never been here before, you have.
I'm here now, which I'm-I'm very grateful for.
But, I, uh, I just don't exactly know what I'm doing.
Neither do I? Oh my God, did you think that we were having sex tonight? No.
No.
I didn't.
No.
Of course, not.
I OK, you said to come over because your roommate was going out of town.
Everybody knows that that means.
Not everyone.
I-I don't know where you're getting your information, but when I say my roommate's going out of town, I just mean my roommate's going out of town.
Period.
New information.
Glad to have it.
Ephram, deciding to have sex is kind of a big deal.
What even for you? Of course for me.
What do you think I am? I- I don't know.
I just thought it was a big deal for first timers.
After that it was just, you know, an extensions of your average make-out session or something.
OK.
You're officially not allowed to hang out with Bright anymore.
You know, the whole reason we work is because you don't think like that like a guy guy.
I'm not even a guy.
Sweet? No.
You're better.
It's a good thing.
Trust me.
You're trying again.
No.
No.
You said we should talk.
We were talking.
Oh, OK, Come on, cowboy.
-It's time to go.
-What? You're leaving.
No.
I-I.
Are you kidding me? I No, I'm not.
-Can I please just? -No, you can't.
OK, But I can spend the night.
I already asked my dad.
You're done.
Ah, Ah, Ah.
We have to Rules of the road, Doctor.
Sorry, Harold.
So how are things? Well, not quite the cavity fest that you seem to be having but fine.
You sure you have enough Mint Milanos? Well, they're Linda's favorite.
I'm stocking up.
Tonight's movie night.
So I heard.
Are you two in a fight? Perpetually, child.
Ooh, brownies.
Those are so good frozen.
Can we get some of those? I think not.
Looks like you can afford 'em yourself.
Ephram told me you cleaned him out last night.
So much for an all night game.
Said he was broke by 11.
Oh, right.
Yeah, it was rough.
What was rough? Bright's poker night with the guys.
Turns out he's a shark.
If you're gonna make that a regular thing, let me know and I'll lower Ephram's allowance.
There were guys in our home last night? Yeah, just a couple.
With whom you played cards? Right.
So who exactly was that who fell asleep on the couch watching Reba with your mother and I? It was after that.
We-we were in the basement.
I mean, we were really quiet and you had already gone to bed and Tell him I tried, OK? I- I wouldn't slam that door, if I was you.
If you do, I'm just gonna wait out here as long as it takes.
I mean, you'll come out to get the paper in the morning, I'll be out here shivering.
I brought a pillow.
I'm not afraid to use it.
I hate it when you have props.
You have to know that when you get like that it makes me think that you're not ready for any of this.
You know, sex isn't just having a place to yourself.
I know that.
No, you don't.
I mean, I don't know why sex is so complicated, but it is.
It's-it's something that I have to talk about before it happens not during.
And thenthere's you one way or another you're going to remember your first time for being wonderful or for being a disaster.
Which was it for you? You got scarred.
Alex Brocco.
We went to Camp Winneapea together for 10 years.
From the time we were campers who'd hold hands to counselors who'd lock themselves in the boathouse during free swim.
Out last summer together, Alex told me that he was waiting until he was in love to have sex and that he was in love with me.
Nice one.
Anyway, we met that night in the woods behind the tennis courts.
HE brought this thin sheet for us to lay on.
It was so thin that I could feel every twig and rock beneath us.
This is a sharp branch.
Ouch.
The whole thing was crazy.
It was I just remember being so excited before he came to pick me up.
My girlfriends were over there helping me pick out what to wear.
It all seemed so surreal.
And then I was there and it was happening.
And it was scary and uncomfortable.
Not just physically, but it was like, um, it was like suddenly everything was different, except for me.
I didn't feel different enough for that to be happening to me.
That's exactly how it felt, like it was happening to me and I was watching from some place else, not actually being a part of it.
Finally, I just wanted it to be over and it was.
That doesn't sound very nice.
Yeah, it's funny.
I haven't thought about that night in a long time.
Is it weird for me to say that I-I wish I was there? I mean, not-not in a-in a freaky, you know, I-like-to-watch kind of way.
I can't stand the thought of you being unhappy, even if it is in the past.
You know what? What? My roommate is still out of town.
You have really good hair.
Thank you.
Please don't puke on it.
This is ridiculous.
There's got to be another bathroom in this mansion.
Ah, I don't want to lose my place in line, if you find one, scream.
Oh, if you see Tommy, tell him I'm still here.
No problem.
Here's the stuff.
What is this? Um, where do I put my arm? I-I don't know what to do with it.
Just leave it there.
No, it's asleep.
There we go.
Now, come back.
I'm having a little trouble.
Sorry, weird belt, I got it.
Thank you.
Did you buy condoms? Yeah, in my bag.
Oh, Uh! -Are you OK? -I can't-I can't.
-We can slow down.
-No.
No.
No.
I can't do this right now.
Oh.
Did you-did you just? No, it's-it's not funny.
OK? -Of course, it's not.
It don't care.
-I care.
-I don't care.
It's fine.
Sweetie.
- I gotto go.
Is this enough frosting? If I see cookie, it's not enough.
Got it.
How you doing, Andy? I'm gonna slap an ankle bracelet on him and call house arrest.
He can say goodbye to that cell phone of his.
He talks to himself sometimes.
Good to know.
Well, it's about time? Not now.
Not now, try right now.
You want to talk about last night's poker game again, because I had a very interesting conversation with Dr.
Abbott today.
Fine, I made it up.
But I came home anyways, -so I don't see what the big deal is -You lied that's what the big deal is.
-Upstairs? Sounds good.
You know, just ground me and get it over with, alright? I'm not in the mood.
Well, you better get in the mood, because we are going to have a conversation about this.
And by conversation, I mean, that you're going to tell me what the hell is going on in your life, starting right now.
-Where were you tonight? -Out.
That's not good enough.
I was at Madison's.
Are you sleeping with her? Answer me.
No.
No, I'm not-I'm not sleeping with her, OK? I'm never gonna sleep with her or anybody else for that matter.
I'm gonna die a virgin 'cause that's how my life is.
Anything good that happens to me gets bad.
Anything bad gets even worse, whenever humanly possible.
Does that make you happy? Is that what you want to hear? What happened? Can I please just go? Amy? Can I talk to you for a second? I think I lost my ring.
What ring? It's my mom's.
It's real.
Could you just? Two seconds? I'll see you upstairs.
Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
Two seconds.
What ring? Don't sleep with him.
What? Just trust me on this one.
Just don't do it.
Look, I don't know what this is about but Tommy's waiting for me, so I gotta go.
I don't think that he's being completely honest with you.
I mean, I know he's not.
I think he's still dealing.
First of all, Tommy never dealt.
That was just a rumor and second of all I saw him in the bathroom with a bunch of people around him.
This is so stupid, Laynie.
He was giving them these little plastic baggies with white pills in them and they were giving him cash back.
Now I don't know what you call that but in my world that's dealing.
I'm sorry.
Look, you probably just saw wrong.
I mean, maybe he was in the room, but That can't be.
This can't be.
If you don't believe me, just ask him.
No.
I'm not.
I can't-I can't just ask him.
Look, I'm sorry that I saw it.
I mean, actually maybe I'm glad I did, I don't know.
I just.
I don't think you should do something that you're gonna regret.
You know, you don't want your first time to be with somebody Somebody who what? Somebody you can't trust.
Amy? You got to see the view from the master bedroom.
It's unbelievable.
I'm coming.
Well, Delia's asleep.
She said that you were a-a really great froster.
I hope that means something to you because I got nothing.
I got to get going, Andy.
Going.
Why? I had a wonderful night, tonight, but I have Look, I screwed up with the whole Ephram thing.
I-I'm sorry.
I didn't have to make the whole night about that.
Of course, you did.
It was important.
It was the yelling, wasn't it? We yell a lot.
It's not our best quality.
You were wonderful, really.
Then stay.
We still have that Sunday paper to read.
I gotta go.
I'll call you tomorrow night, OK? Bye.
It is pretty.
Yeah.
It's just what I was thinking.
Wait.
OK.
Um.
Are you having second thoughts? No, uh, I have to ask you something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You can ask me anything, you know that.
Laynie said that she saw you earlier in the bathroom with some people.
Yeah.
She said that you're dealing.
Look, if I- if I tell you; it's not what you think, you're not gonna believe me anyways, so Try me.
OK.
Alright.
Alright.
Listen, there's a reason that I know these guys, OK? It's not like I'm a part of their inner circle or anything.
Bradley knew that I'd know a guy that could hook him up.
I'm not even like-like the point person on this and I know-I know it sounds really bad.
And you know what the worst part is.
The worst part is when he first asked me I told him I wouldn't do it.
And then what changed your mind? A couple of things you know.
I mean, first of all you have to understand that this guy offered me a lot of cash just to make the connection.
I mean, more money than I make at the pharmacy in-in like a month.
And that's like rent for my entire family, OK? And then you and I talked about coming here and-and what it would mean and I knew that if I didn't supply the stuff they wouldn't let me in.
It didn't have to happen here.
You could've told me.
I would've understood.
I know.
I know that.
I know that now, but I just.
I don't want you thinking of me like this.
I don't want you to think of me as the guy who people call when they need, you know, whatever.
I mean, it's not a reputation that I want to have, but I have it unfortunately.
I-I guess I was just I was trying to keep that from you for as long as possible.
But I promise you, OK? OK? I will never ever do anything this stupid again, OK? I swear, Amy.
Alright? You know what? Maybe we should just go.
Yeah, I think so.
OK.
Alright.
I'll get our coats.
If your yelling didn't scare Linda off, that piece would've sure done the trick.
Oh, that fight scare her? Amateur.
Sorry about the lie.
Oh, yeah.
There was going to be some serious grounding there.
Could've been years before you saw daylight again.
Ah, you'd probably be doing me a favor.
Seriously.
Yeah, I gathered that.
I got a feeling that I can't compete with whatever it is you've been doing through lately.
So, I'm off the hook.
Well, call it an advance on my next screw up.
But I do want to talk to you about what you've been going through lately.
Nah, you don't-you don't have to.
Illegally, no.
But I'm gonna take a shot at it anyway.
You and your friends are at an age where you're deciding when or whether to have sex.
I can't tell you what to do.
A lot of parents try and I respect the impulse but you can't stop sex.
It's too big.
It's like trying to hold back the tie with broom.
And there's also part of me that wants you to go out and have a good time.
But what I can do is advise you.
Sex isn't as simple as it looks.
I got that part down.
Believe me.
Well, I just wanted you to know that you can come to me and you can talk to me if you ever need to.
And I want you to know that I really don't see that happening, but thank you.
And for what it's worth, I-I.
There hasn't been any new developments lately.
A couple discussions, but that's about it.
I'm gonna go call Brittany.
OK.
Hey, Dr.
Brown.
Come on in.
We can finish this discussion later.
You want go out for a little bit? Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, sure.
Dad? Have fun.
When did you start drinking real coffee? Oh, it's only half real.
I mixed a bag of cocoa with it.
It kinda gives it that moccacchino effect but it's cheaper than Starbucks.
You're a pretty smart cookie.
A lot smarter than I was when I was your age.
You know, I don't envy your generation.
You don't get too much kid time do you? It gets pretty serious, pretty quick? Yeah, I guess.
I'm not good with metaphors, Amy.
So no birds, no bees.
I know you're thinking about having sex or maybe you already have.
What makes you think that? You're sixteen.
You've got a good-looking boy coming around the house everyday.
It all adds up.
I never had this talk with Linda and God knows I never had it with your Dad.
I figure, it's my chance to get it right.
Grandma.
It goes like this.
Sex is special.
And sex With the right person at the right time, it can be pretty darn wonderful.
But if you don't have those ingredients It's not wonderful.
That's all I'm saying.
And that first time, well, it only happens once.
And you, my beautiful, lovely granddaughter, deserve to have that moment in your life be the most perfect it can possibly be.
Thank you.
I was just staring at the phone determined not to leave you another message.
Come on in.
I don't know how to say this.
I was gonna write it down in a letter but everything I wrote sounded so clever and I don't want to be clever right now.
Seeing you with your kids.
I knew how much a part of your life they are, but I didn't know how much a part of you they are too.
I'm still lost.
It's not as simple as you have kids.
You're a dad and I can't jeopardize (arriesgar) that.
We're being safe.
We've been through all this.
We decided No, I think we made a mistake.
I think we were being impetutious and Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
Wait a minute.
I mean, you just sprung this on me and I don't have any prepared remarks, but I think I have a lot to say.
No.
What? No.
You don't get to put on the brakes or slow things down or otherwise call this relationship defunked.
I veto.
I don't think it works that way.
Look, you may have just realized I'm a dad, but I didn't.
It's been with me every single day since my wife died and these two strangers were looking at me, wondering who the hell I was.
Andy? Bad things can happen.
And if you don't think I know that after losing my wife then you have no business being my friend much less anything else.
I know things can go wrong.
Which is exactly the reason why I think it's worth the risk if I can feel this way again.
So no.
If you want to break up with me you better find a better reason.
Catch me messing around with a nurse.
So I-I though of a bright side.
Oh, yeah.
Um, hmm.
The condom didn't have a chance to break.
You know what we need? I still miss my pride.
We need a song.
Well, I already wrote you a song.
It didn't work out so good, remember? I mean a radio song, dumbass.
That way whenever you hear it you get this goofy grin on your face and you can go "ah, that's our song" and people make fun of you.
Yeah, one problem.
We never agree on music.
Fine, I'm putting on the radio.
Whatever's on, that's it.
You in? We could end up with a shaving jingle? Um, hmm.
OK, bad idea.
No, what are you talking about.
It's the perfect anthem for youthful misguided longing.
Best two out of three.
One more time.
Give up.
Never.
/ And every word is nonsense but I understand and / / Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing / / Her kindness bangs a gong / / It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away / / It's chasing me away She disappears and / / Oh lord, / /I'm not ready for this sort of thing / Script: Gaby Srt: Juanfran
You won't find it on any map but everyone knows exactly where it is.
We call it The Point.
/ Broken in two / / And I know you're on to me / -Give me a second.
-Ow.
I got it.
OK.
Sorry.
It's OK.
I'm a little pointy.
Yeah.
Pointy all the way to my jaw.
-OK.
-Better? Yeah, a little.
/ And not everything is the way you think it ought to be / / Seems that every time I try to make it right, it all comes down on me/ No.
Hold on.
What? No.
Nothing.
It's just I've um That was new.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I, did I freak you out? No, don't apologize.
I just need to re-group here for a second.
I'm just not really used to that.
Oh.
If you mean you had never No, no.
Did you think I had? Uh, yeah.
I mean, you know, you always seem,like, so comfortable and together with yourself that I just assumed you and Colin had No, we never had.
But th- that's very nice.
Um, it's a big compliment seeing as that's not at all how I feel.
I'lll be careful now.
/Never again/ -I would have done that if I -I know.
You know, I'm not going to be like this forever.
That's fine.
Fine.
I'm ready when you're ready and you know what? If you're never ready, you know, it's cool with me.
I don't care.
It's not what I meant to do.
It's an interesting personality, isn't it? Don't worry.
I'll have them fix the dose.
On this unchartered piece of rock, many of Everwood's young peoples first discovered their capacity for passion and sometimes for love.
For them, the view of The Point will be forever etched in their hearts and minds.
A reminder of one special moment when everthing changed.
"No Sure Thing" Is it a person? Nope.
It has to be.
There's nothing left.
Is it a plant? A plant is a thing.
Well, not exactly.
Plants are alive and things are inanimate objects.
Oh.
Well, then is it a plant? No.
Well, we're here.
To be continued, kiddo.
I'm just going to walk Linda to her front door.
Good night, Delia.
Good night.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
A cartoon character's an inanimated objects.
You're getting warmer.
So begins the great thaw of 2004.
I think, she's actually starting not to hate me.
Are you kidding? She gave you some of her curly fries.
She's crazy about you.
Which is why? Which is why what? Which is why I don't think she would mind or anyone would mind for that matter.
I know that I certainly would not mind.
You're doing that thing where you actually don't finish your thoughts out loud.
I want you to sleep over at my house this Saturday night.
Wow, that's a big step.
I know.
That's what I liked about it.
Well, what do the kids think? I'm sure they'll be fine with it.
Yeah.
Why don't you get back to me after you've had that conversation? You know, I have this picture in my head that just won't go away.
I see, you and I sitting at a breakfast table, in our pjs, sipping coffee, reading the Sunday paper.
Nice picture.
Let's give it a try.
I'm tired of waiting.
Is it Nemo? You know, it kinda defeats the purpose if you highlight the whole book, right? Ahem.
Did your underage boyfriend finish my fudgesicles? I took one.
OK.
Does he not understand the concept of labels? The post-it clearly said Carrie right on the box.
Well, why don't you ask him directly as he's sitting right next to me? He touches another one of my fudgy pops, I'm calling child services.
Wow, I can't believe I was once mad at you for not introducing me to your friends.
Well, she's not my friend, she's my roommate.
Are you stuck with her for all of college or can you switch roommates like majors? Well, the good news is she's going to Boise this weekend to visit her boyfriend, which means he's either fictional or crazy.
But who cares, I'm just happy we have the place to ourselves for once.
We? Well, yeah, if you want to come over.
It'd be nice to hang out without somebody walking in on us every five minutes.
Yeah.
Duh.
Yeah.
She leaves after 5.
You can come right after.
OK.
Hopefully, I'll be done with my paper by then.
I don't really know what to think.
Well, did you want to? I didn't not want to.
It's just.
I didn't see it as a possibility, in my mind, it was never really on the menu, you know? And now it is? Yeah.
Big time.
Go for it.
Why not? He's great and you like him, right? Yeah.
I like him a lot.
And he probably knows what he's doing? Laynie? So just out of curiosity, what is it exactly I'm supposed to do? Well, you really don't have to worry about that part.
You can just lie there at first.
Gee, it sounds so romantic when you put it that way.
Uh, it's not going to be romantic.
I mean, it might be and it could be, but if you build it up in your mind as this big thing that's going to change your life forever, you're just going to be disappointed.
Trust me, the lower your expectations are the better.
Maybe I'm not ready to do this after all.
And that's fine.
Just don't wait to long and end up like Rachel Hoffer's sister? What happened to Rachel Hoffer's sister? Twenty nine years old and never did it.
Now she's petrified that she's going to die a virgin.
It's really sad.
God.
Hello girls.
How's the studying going? Oh, it's going great, Grandma.
Dude, that's awesome.
I don't know.
All she said was my roommate's going to Boise for the weekend.
I know.
That's awesome.
Your girlfriend just told you that you have her entire place to yourself for the whole weekend.
The whole place, the whole weekend.
That's a major invitation to the big leagues.
No.
No.
We haven't even talked about sex yet.
Dude, come on.
I mean, don't you get it, she's signaling the picture.
Oh, please don't use sports metaphors, right now.
I-I need to understand - what you're saying.
-OK.
OK.
Look, women do no speak English.
They speak in code.
You have to translate everything they say.
Madison's not just going to come out and say "Hey, Ephram, why don't you come over Friday and do me?" For many reasons.
Right.
So she's gonna speak in code, right? You know, how like when a girl says "Do you like my sweater?" what she really means is "tell me how good I look".
When Madison says you get to spend some uninterrupted time together, what she means is you might want to stop by the drugstore on the way over.
She did say I should come over as soon as her roommate leaves.
Hello.
Does the little ass need to hit you over the head with a heavy object here? She's achin' for some Brown lovin'.
Dish it up and serve it hot, my friend.
OK.
What should I do to prepare? I don't know.
Uh, is there something special ritual that you Jewish kids do or just kinda like that God and pray you don't screw it up like the rest of us? Amy.
Sorry, but your grandmother's already gone for the day.
Yeah, I know.
You OK? Umm, do you have a minute? So I know this is weird.
Uh, and believe me if there was anybody else that I could talk to in this town I would, but seeing as there isn't, uh, I was hoping that maybe we could just pretend that we were fine.
I can do that.
I need to go on the pill.
Birth control? Yeah.
So what do I need to do? Blood tests or ? Let's-let's slow down for a second.
Let me catch up here, OK? Are you, uh, are you currently involved in a in a sexual relationship? What do you mean exactly? I mean, yeah, I'm in a relationship, but I mean, we haven't had.
It hasn't happened yet.
Oh.
OK.
Well good.
This is good.
So this is simply a precautionary measure? Yeah.
And you you're just thinking about having sex? Well, obviously or I wouldn't be here right now.
Look, if this is too weird because of the family connections or because you're my aunt's boyfriend? I'm a doctor.
Doctors don't get weird.
I know, but Laynie told me about a Planned Parenthood in Denver.
I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to go.
You don't have to.
I'm happy to help.
I just want to make sure that you've thought this decision through carefully.
Well, um, I looked up all the possibilities on the Net.
Norplant and all that.
And the pill just seemed like the right choice.
No.
I'm talking about the decision to have sex.
Have you talked to anybody about it? Anyone other than Laynie? Well, who would I talk to? Well, I know you're-you're having some problems with your family right now, but I'm sure that your father would want to help you.
No offense, Dr.
Brown, but even if I wasn't in a massive fight with my dad right now, I still wouldn't talk to him about it or my mom.
I mean, I think these things are private.
Well, what about your grandmother? I mean, there's- there's a lot of compassion underneath all that cackling.
I came here specifically when I knew she wouldn't be here.
Does that answer your question? Look, I'm sixteen.
I'm thinking about having sex and I want to be safe about it if or when I decide to do it and is that so wrong? No.
No.
It's not.
You realize that the pill doesn't protect against any STDs? I know, I have condoms.
Look, Amy, I'm sure I'm the last person on earth you-you want advise from right now, but I'm gonna give you a little.
Don't be afraid to make sure that everything's right.
You're never gonna get this moment back.
Well, I appreciate what you're saying, Dr.
Brown, but.
.
I had the right person in my like, unfortunately, we ran out of time.
I'm just being realistic.
So will you write the prescription? I'll have to take, uh, medical history, get blood and urine samples and, uh, if it all checks out.
Yes, I'll write the prescription.
Thank you.
Hi.
Bye.
Wait a second.
I need to talk to you and your sister.
Delia? Uh, just so you know, uh, Bright is having this all night poker game with some of the guys.
I'm gonna spend the night, is that cool? Uh, sure.
Great.
What happened? Nothing happened.
Just a family meeting.
What did you do? No one did anything.
Sit down.
There's something I wanna discuss with the two of you.
Are we supposed to guess? OK, as you know Linda Abbott and I have been seeing each other rather regularly.
Not on any formal basis, but, uh, with a general and healthy evolution toward a relationship, which is a loaded term in and of itself.
Dad, you're not addressing the Senate.
Right.
Well, the point is we've been dating awhile and we really like each other a lot and I thought it would be nice if after she came over for dinner on Saturday night that she could well stay.
Forever? No.
No.
No.
Just for the night.
You know, like a sleepover.
Just a sleepover.
I mean, I want to make sure that you two are both OK with it, not that there is any reason not to be OK with it.
It's no big deal.
The whole point is for it not to be a big deal.
I want Linda to be comfortable coming here from time to time and-and you two having her here.
Yeah, I know, I mean.
Sure.
That's, uh, fine with me.
Anyway, I gotta go.
I'll, uh, see you guys tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Poker game.
Work with me, Dad.
Oh, right.
Have fun.
So, how 'bout you? What would happen when she's here? Would I have to do anything? No.
Not if you didn't want to.
It'd be just like any other night, except we- we'd be baking those snowflake cookies that you've been wanting to make so much.
And? Um, watching "The Princess Diaries".
I'm still listening.
And, uh, cutting up double-stuffed Oreos to make quadruple-stuffed Oreos.
I guess it would be OK with me.
Dr.
Brown's office Lab results Ok.
Just a sec, let me get the file.
What's the name on it? What do you mean you didn't get a name? Alright, just give me the number he gave you and I'll find the file myself OK, and the panel OK, got it.
Thanks.
What the hell? What are you doing Saturday night? Well, I think I'm going out for dinner with Orlando Bloom? Oh, no, wait, that's Friday.
Just kidding, why what's up? Umm, Chris Bailey is having this really cool party at his parents' ski chalet and I don't know, it's going to be huge.
I thought it might be fun.
No, it sounds great.
Actually, it sounds kind of perfect.
Perfect.
How? Well, this beautiful ski chalet all snowy and fancy.
Sounds like it could be kind of romantic, doesn't it? Umm, yeah.
Yeah.
I guess.
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking that it might be the perfect place to, you know.
Seriously? Well, why not.
It's better than doing it at the point, isn't it? Yeah.
Um, yeah, it is.
I just.
I mean, when did this happen? Well, I've been thinking about it and I think I'm ready to take the next step.
Stop looking so shocked, 'cause it's freaking me out.
Sorry, I just.
I'm a little-I'm a little taken aback here, you know.
Um, the other night, you were Taken by surprise, but after careful consideration an visiting a doctor, I've You-you went to a doctor? Well, yeah, if we're gonna do this thing, I want to be prepared.
I thought you'd be happy.
I am.
I'm I'm- I'm totally happy.
I just don't want you to be doing this for any reason other than the fact that you really want to, you know what I mean? I do want to.
Will it make you feel horrible, if I told you, that part of me just kind of wants to get it over with? Well, I mean, it wouldn't make me feel great, you know.
See, um, none of this is really happening the way I thought it would.
For as long as I could remember, I-I thought it would be Colin.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I'm sorry.
I totally missed it before and you know what, you're awesome.
We don't need to do this if you don't want to.
What time should I pick you up on Saturday? This better be some kind of bad joke? Where did you find this? On your desk.
The lab called with her blood work.
Are you out of your mind? What were you thinking putting my granddaughter on birth control pills? She's sixteen for crying out loud.
Better hope she is.
Is she having sex? You must of asked her as part of the preliminary physical, which by the way, I don't recall.
Did you schedule something when you knew I'd be out? That's confidential.
I am her grandmother and her guardian.
She's living under my roof.
That may well be, but in this office, you are her nurse.
That's all.
Like hell.
I'm sorry, Edna.
But there's nothing more that I can tell you, if and when Amy chooses to discuss -the matter with you.
-.
.
She's not gonna discuss it with me.
I don't even want to know about it now, -but when I tell Junior.
-You do and you're fired.
You can't expect me to keep this from him.
Look, I know this is difficult.
As a father, I feel for him, I do.
But we have obligations in this office.
-Did you know she was on? -Yes.
and there are no known connections between Zoloft and OCPs.
That's not the point.
The fact that she's even on drugs, proves she's not equipped to make this decision right now.
The girl isn't entirely stable.
Well, she has the good sense to come in and ask for help.
And the fact of the matter is that if I didn't write that prescription for her someone else would have.
Oh, don't give me crap and call it ice cream.
How would you feel if you knew Ephram was running around buying condoms behind your back and not telling you about it? Well, fortunately, Ephram's not having sex yet.
-I'm sure that when the time comes -How do you know he's not? Because I just do.
Uh, huh.
Good luck with that.
Hey.
I couldn't decide if we should order pizza or Chinese so I called both.
But five bucks says the Kung Pao gets her first, although the pizza guy has a pretty supped-up Camaro.
You look nice.
So do you.
So the good news is that I blew my music theory paper and the better news is that now I have a makeup essay to write.
Well, I think I might know what'll make you feel better.
Whoa, hang on a second.
Whoa, whoa, was that bad? I'm sitting on a book.
Whoa, what's with all the rushing? Well, I'm just a little nervous, I don't want to mess this up.
Mess what up? Well, you know.
I've never been here before, you have.
I'm here now, which I'm-I'm very grateful for.
But, I, uh, I just don't exactly know what I'm doing.
Neither do I? Oh my God, did you think that we were having sex tonight? No.
No.
I didn't.
No.
Of course, not.
I OK, you said to come over because your roommate was going out of town.
Everybody knows that that means.
Not everyone.
I-I don't know where you're getting your information, but when I say my roommate's going out of town, I just mean my roommate's going out of town.
Period.
New information.
Glad to have it.
Ephram, deciding to have sex is kind of a big deal.
What even for you? Of course for me.
What do you think I am? I- I don't know.
I just thought it was a big deal for first timers.
After that it was just, you know, an extensions of your average make-out session or something.
OK.
You're officially not allowed to hang out with Bright anymore.
You know, the whole reason we work is because you don't think like that like a guy guy.
I'm not even a guy.
Sweet? No.
You're better.
It's a good thing.
Trust me.
You're trying again.
No.
No.
You said we should talk.
We were talking.
Oh, OK, Come on, cowboy.
-It's time to go.
-What? You're leaving.
No.
I-I.
Are you kidding me? I No, I'm not.
-Can I please just? -No, you can't.
OK, But I can spend the night.
I already asked my dad.
You're done.
Ah, Ah, Ah.
We have to Rules of the road, Doctor.
Sorry, Harold.
So how are things? Well, not quite the cavity fest that you seem to be having but fine.
You sure you have enough Mint Milanos? Well, they're Linda's favorite.
I'm stocking up.
Tonight's movie night.
So I heard.
Are you two in a fight? Perpetually, child.
Ooh, brownies.
Those are so good frozen.
Can we get some of those? I think not.
Looks like you can afford 'em yourself.
Ephram told me you cleaned him out last night.
So much for an all night game.
Said he was broke by 11.
Oh, right.
Yeah, it was rough.
What was rough? Bright's poker night with the guys.
Turns out he's a shark.
If you're gonna make that a regular thing, let me know and I'll lower Ephram's allowance.
There were guys in our home last night? Yeah, just a couple.
With whom you played cards? Right.
So who exactly was that who fell asleep on the couch watching Reba with your mother and I? It was after that.
We-we were in the basement.
I mean, we were really quiet and you had already gone to bed and Tell him I tried, OK? I- I wouldn't slam that door, if I was you.
If you do, I'm just gonna wait out here as long as it takes.
I mean, you'll come out to get the paper in the morning, I'll be out here shivering.
I brought a pillow.
I'm not afraid to use it.
I hate it when you have props.
You have to know that when you get like that it makes me think that you're not ready for any of this.
You know, sex isn't just having a place to yourself.
I know that.
No, you don't.
I mean, I don't know why sex is so complicated, but it is.
It's-it's something that I have to talk about before it happens not during.
And thenthere's you one way or another you're going to remember your first time for being wonderful or for being a disaster.
Which was it for you? You got scarred.
Alex Brocco.
We went to Camp Winneapea together for 10 years.
From the time we were campers who'd hold hands to counselors who'd lock themselves in the boathouse during free swim.
Out last summer together, Alex told me that he was waiting until he was in love to have sex and that he was in love with me.
Nice one.
Anyway, we met that night in the woods behind the tennis courts.
HE brought this thin sheet for us to lay on.
It was so thin that I could feel every twig and rock beneath us.
This is a sharp branch.
Ouch.
The whole thing was crazy.
It was I just remember being so excited before he came to pick me up.
My girlfriends were over there helping me pick out what to wear.
It all seemed so surreal.
And then I was there and it was happening.
And it was scary and uncomfortable.
Not just physically, but it was like, um, it was like suddenly everything was different, except for me.
I didn't feel different enough for that to be happening to me.
That's exactly how it felt, like it was happening to me and I was watching from some place else, not actually being a part of it.
Finally, I just wanted it to be over and it was.
That doesn't sound very nice.
Yeah, it's funny.
I haven't thought about that night in a long time.
Is it weird for me to say that I-I wish I was there? I mean, not-not in a-in a freaky, you know, I-like-to-watch kind of way.
I can't stand the thought of you being unhappy, even if it is in the past.
You know what? What? My roommate is still out of town.
You have really good hair.
Thank you.
Please don't puke on it.
This is ridiculous.
There's got to be another bathroom in this mansion.
Ah, I don't want to lose my place in line, if you find one, scream.
Oh, if you see Tommy, tell him I'm still here.
No problem.
Here's the stuff.
What is this? Um, where do I put my arm? I-I don't know what to do with it.
Just leave it there.
No, it's asleep.
There we go.
Now, come back.
I'm having a little trouble.
Sorry, weird belt, I got it.
Thank you.
Did you buy condoms? Yeah, in my bag.
Oh, Uh! -Are you OK? -I can't-I can't.
-We can slow down.
-No.
No.
No.
I can't do this right now.
Oh.
Did you-did you just? No, it's-it's not funny.
OK? -Of course, it's not.
It don't care.
-I care.
-I don't care.
It's fine.
Sweetie.
- I gotto go.
Is this enough frosting? If I see cookie, it's not enough.
Got it.
How you doing, Andy? I'm gonna slap an ankle bracelet on him and call house arrest.
He can say goodbye to that cell phone of his.
He talks to himself sometimes.
Good to know.
Well, it's about time? Not now.
Not now, try right now.
You want to talk about last night's poker game again, because I had a very interesting conversation with Dr.
Abbott today.
Fine, I made it up.
But I came home anyways, -so I don't see what the big deal is -You lied that's what the big deal is.
-Upstairs? Sounds good.
You know, just ground me and get it over with, alright? I'm not in the mood.
Well, you better get in the mood, because we are going to have a conversation about this.
And by conversation, I mean, that you're going to tell me what the hell is going on in your life, starting right now.
-Where were you tonight? -Out.
That's not good enough.
I was at Madison's.
Are you sleeping with her? Answer me.
No.
No, I'm not-I'm not sleeping with her, OK? I'm never gonna sleep with her or anybody else for that matter.
I'm gonna die a virgin 'cause that's how my life is.
Anything good that happens to me gets bad.
Anything bad gets even worse, whenever humanly possible.
Does that make you happy? Is that what you want to hear? What happened? Can I please just go? Amy? Can I talk to you for a second? I think I lost my ring.
What ring? It's my mom's.
It's real.
Could you just? Two seconds? I'll see you upstairs.
Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
Two seconds.
What ring? Don't sleep with him.
What? Just trust me on this one.
Just don't do it.
Look, I don't know what this is about but Tommy's waiting for me, so I gotta go.
I don't think that he's being completely honest with you.
I mean, I know he's not.
I think he's still dealing.
First of all, Tommy never dealt.
That was just a rumor and second of all I saw him in the bathroom with a bunch of people around him.
This is so stupid, Laynie.
He was giving them these little plastic baggies with white pills in them and they were giving him cash back.
Now I don't know what you call that but in my world that's dealing.
I'm sorry.
Look, you probably just saw wrong.
I mean, maybe he was in the room, but That can't be.
This can't be.
If you don't believe me, just ask him.
No.
I'm not.
I can't-I can't just ask him.
Look, I'm sorry that I saw it.
I mean, actually maybe I'm glad I did, I don't know.
I just.
I don't think you should do something that you're gonna regret.
You know, you don't want your first time to be with somebody Somebody who what? Somebody you can't trust.
Amy? You got to see the view from the master bedroom.
It's unbelievable.
I'm coming.
Well, Delia's asleep.
She said that you were a-a really great froster.
I hope that means something to you because I got nothing.
I got to get going, Andy.
Going.
Why? I had a wonderful night, tonight, but I have Look, I screwed up with the whole Ephram thing.
I-I'm sorry.
I didn't have to make the whole night about that.
Of course, you did.
It was important.
It was the yelling, wasn't it? We yell a lot.
It's not our best quality.
You were wonderful, really.
Then stay.
We still have that Sunday paper to read.
I gotta go.
I'll call you tomorrow night, OK? Bye.
It is pretty.
Yeah.
It's just what I was thinking.
Wait.
OK.
Um.
Are you having second thoughts? No, uh, I have to ask you something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You can ask me anything, you know that.
Laynie said that she saw you earlier in the bathroom with some people.
Yeah.
She said that you're dealing.
Look, if I- if I tell you; it's not what you think, you're not gonna believe me anyways, so Try me.
OK.
Alright.
Alright.
Listen, there's a reason that I know these guys, OK? It's not like I'm a part of their inner circle or anything.
Bradley knew that I'd know a guy that could hook him up.
I'm not even like-like the point person on this and I know-I know it sounds really bad.
And you know what the worst part is.
The worst part is when he first asked me I told him I wouldn't do it.
And then what changed your mind? A couple of things you know.
I mean, first of all you have to understand that this guy offered me a lot of cash just to make the connection.
I mean, more money than I make at the pharmacy in-in like a month.
And that's like rent for my entire family, OK? And then you and I talked about coming here and-and what it would mean and I knew that if I didn't supply the stuff they wouldn't let me in.
It didn't have to happen here.
You could've told me.
I would've understood.
I know.
I know that.
I know that now, but I just.
I don't want you thinking of me like this.
I don't want you to think of me as the guy who people call when they need, you know, whatever.
I mean, it's not a reputation that I want to have, but I have it unfortunately.
I-I guess I was just I was trying to keep that from you for as long as possible.
But I promise you, OK? OK? I will never ever do anything this stupid again, OK? I swear, Amy.
Alright? You know what? Maybe we should just go.
Yeah, I think so.
OK.
Alright.
I'll get our coats.
If your yelling didn't scare Linda off, that piece would've sure done the trick.
Oh, that fight scare her? Amateur.
Sorry about the lie.
Oh, yeah.
There was going to be some serious grounding there.
Could've been years before you saw daylight again.
Ah, you'd probably be doing me a favor.
Seriously.
Yeah, I gathered that.
I got a feeling that I can't compete with whatever it is you've been doing through lately.
So, I'm off the hook.
Well, call it an advance on my next screw up.
But I do want to talk to you about what you've been going through lately.
Nah, you don't-you don't have to.
Illegally, no.
But I'm gonna take a shot at it anyway.
You and your friends are at an age where you're deciding when or whether to have sex.
I can't tell you what to do.
A lot of parents try and I respect the impulse but you can't stop sex.
It's too big.
It's like trying to hold back the tie with broom.
And there's also part of me that wants you to go out and have a good time.
But what I can do is advise you.
Sex isn't as simple as it looks.
I got that part down.
Believe me.
Well, I just wanted you to know that you can come to me and you can talk to me if you ever need to.
And I want you to know that I really don't see that happening, but thank you.
And for what it's worth, I-I.
There hasn't been any new developments lately.
A couple discussions, but that's about it.
I'm gonna go call Brittany.
OK.
Hey, Dr.
Brown.
Come on in.
We can finish this discussion later.
You want go out for a little bit? Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, sure.
Dad? Have fun.
When did you start drinking real coffee? Oh, it's only half real.
I mixed a bag of cocoa with it.
It kinda gives it that moccacchino effect but it's cheaper than Starbucks.
You're a pretty smart cookie.
A lot smarter than I was when I was your age.
You know, I don't envy your generation.
You don't get too much kid time do you? It gets pretty serious, pretty quick? Yeah, I guess.
I'm not good with metaphors, Amy.
So no birds, no bees.
I know you're thinking about having sex or maybe you already have.
What makes you think that? You're sixteen.
You've got a good-looking boy coming around the house everyday.
It all adds up.
I never had this talk with Linda and God knows I never had it with your Dad.
I figure, it's my chance to get it right.
Grandma.
It goes like this.
Sex is special.
And sex With the right person at the right time, it can be pretty darn wonderful.
But if you don't have those ingredients It's not wonderful.
That's all I'm saying.
And that first time, well, it only happens once.
And you, my beautiful, lovely granddaughter, deserve to have that moment in your life be the most perfect it can possibly be.
Thank you.
I was just staring at the phone determined not to leave you another message.
Come on in.
I don't know how to say this.
I was gonna write it down in a letter but everything I wrote sounded so clever and I don't want to be clever right now.
Seeing you with your kids.
I knew how much a part of your life they are, but I didn't know how much a part of you they are too.
I'm still lost.
It's not as simple as you have kids.
You're a dad and I can't jeopardize (arriesgar) that.
We're being safe.
We've been through all this.
We decided No, I think we made a mistake.
I think we were being impetutious and Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
Wait a minute.
I mean, you just sprung this on me and I don't have any prepared remarks, but I think I have a lot to say.
No.
What? No.
You don't get to put on the brakes or slow things down or otherwise call this relationship defunked.
I veto.
I don't think it works that way.
Look, you may have just realized I'm a dad, but I didn't.
It's been with me every single day since my wife died and these two strangers were looking at me, wondering who the hell I was.
Andy? Bad things can happen.
And if you don't think I know that after losing my wife then you have no business being my friend much less anything else.
I know things can go wrong.
Which is exactly the reason why I think it's worth the risk if I can feel this way again.
So no.
If you want to break up with me you better find a better reason.
Catch me messing around with a nurse.
So I-I though of a bright side.
Oh, yeah.
Um, hmm.
The condom didn't have a chance to break.
You know what we need? I still miss my pride.
We need a song.
Well, I already wrote you a song.
It didn't work out so good, remember? I mean a radio song, dumbass.
That way whenever you hear it you get this goofy grin on your face and you can go "ah, that's our song" and people make fun of you.
Yeah, one problem.
We never agree on music.
Fine, I'm putting on the radio.
Whatever's on, that's it.
You in? We could end up with a shaving jingle? Um, hmm.
OK, bad idea.
No, what are you talking about.
It's the perfect anthem for youthful misguided longing.
Best two out of three.
One more time.
Give up.
Never.
