The Secret Life of the American Teenager s03e11 Episode Script

So, everyone's going to the park to celebrate the last day of school! I don't feel like celebrating.
I still haven't heard from Amy.
I think I maybe wanna stay a day or two extra at the end of the program.
Maybe you could think about me flying to New York at the end of the program just like all the other dads are doing.
Amy, is that really you? I'm just calling to let you know that I will talk to you at some point but not over the phone.
I don't know if I can not call you for two more weeks.
I wanna do something with you that you haven't done with her.
Something else like what? Spend the night at Grace's guest house.
I wanna be a doctor.
I wanna be a doctor.
No way.
The only girl I'm interested in is Amy.
Well, I've got news for you.
Ricky's flying to New York to see Amy this weekend.
What? It's really good to see you, Amy.
Good morning, Doctor.
This is my baby.
And I'm just going to accept that this is my fate, and I'm gonna marry Adrian and learn to love her.
Could we ever have sex again? Could you ever not sleep with every girl you got the chance to sleep with? I'm working on that.
Ricky, it's one thing to say that.
It's another thing to actually not do it.
I just thought I'd call.
Oh, for no apparent reason? No.
Just wanted to say hi, see how you are.
Thanks, Adrian.
I've been wondering how you are, too.
Really? I would've thought Ricky would've told you this weekend how I am.
Oh, no.
We really didn't have a lot of time to talk about you.
Oh? Why is that? He was only here for a short time, and we had a lot to discuss.
Like? Like stuff about John.
So how are you? How are you feeling? Just like I told Ricky last week when he came over and stayed half the night talking to me, I'm feeling good, really good.
So no more morning sickness? No.
You know, Ben was really upset that Ricky just took off and flew to New York without telling him.
He still loves you.
Ben.
He's a nice guy Ben.
I'm sure he'll be a responsible dad.
I'm sure.
You know, my dad really wants us to get married.
I mean, how crazy is that Ben and me married? I mean, everyone knows that he's in love with you.
He's always been in love with you, just like Ricky's always kind of been in love with me, you know? Yeah.
Well, babies have a way of making relationships change whether you want the relationship to change or not.
What do you mean by that? I mean, relationships change.
Things happen, babies are born.
Then the babies grow up.
Sometimes so do the parents.
Are you telling me I need to grow up? Is that what you're saying? Oh, no, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm sorry you took it that way.
Please don't take it that way, Adrian.
I really want us to be friends.
And I think we have a good shot at being friends.
I do, because it's a very difficult experience having a baby in high school, and, you know, girls tend to relate to each other based on common experiences.
Well, we also have the common experiences of Ben and Ricky.
Actually, I've never had sex with Ben, remember? Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
Well, he surprised me.
It was a lot of fun.
It was the only time I've ever seen him let loose and enjoy himself.
I don't think we should be talking about what the two of you did.
It's all very personal and private and all that.
I'm just saying maybe you should sleep with him.
Adrian, I don't think I'm gonna have sex again with anyone I'm not marrying.
You and Ricky you're not thinking of getting married, are you? You didn't get married this past weekend, did you? Adrian, Ricky and I decided to keep what happened this weekend between the two of us.
But then you'll tell Lauren and Madison, and Madison will tell Jack, and Jack will tell Grace, and she'll tell Ben, so you might as well just tell me.
Can't.
Sorry.
Why don't we talk about something else? Because I wanna know what's going on between you and Ricky, and I would think you would wanna know what's going on between me and Ricky.
No.
No, that's between Ricky and you.
Just tell me! Closing time.
Good night, and good luck, and may the best man win, and may that be before you two come back tomorrow.
What's that supposed to mean "May the best man win"? Trying to make light of a dark situation.
It's not funny.
He saw Amy.
He went to New York this weekend and didn't even tell me that he was going.
It wasn't any of your business.
And you know what? It's still not any of your business.
Or any of mine.
The only thing that's my business is this butcher shop.
And if the two of you wanna keep your jobs, I suggest you get together and talk it out and come back tomorrow with a new attitude before I give you your walking papers.
How are we supposed to talk about anything when everything is none of my business? It's between Amy and me, okay? Fine.
Amy will tell Madison and Lauren what happened, Madison will tell Jack, Jack will tell Grace, and Grace will tell me.
But I'm not gonna tell you.
I'm gonna tell you both one more time.
Talk it out outside of the shop and come back tomorrow with a new attitude.
Tell me.
Tell me.
Tell me! You're fired.
Both of us? So, are you and Amy getting back together? If I don't sleep with any other women for the rest of my life, maybe.
Hi, Adrian.
* Falling in love * * Is such an easy thing to do * * Birds can do it We can do it * * Let's stop talking Let's get to it * * Let's fall in love * So she didn't call you? No, she didn't call me, she texted me.
Did they have a good time? What? Just wondering.
Just wondering because Uh-huh.
Because Grace wants to know if they had a good time.
No, not Grace, Ben.
Ben asked Grace to find out, and she asked me to find out, and now I'm asking you.
You know you're gonna tell me sooner or later, so why don't you just tell me now? Give me something general, like he slept in a hotel because they got into a huge fight or something like that.
He didn't sleep at a hotel.
He spent the night with her? You tricked me.
And so what if they spent the night in the same room together? So did we.
We didn't do anything.
Hey.
What are you doing in here? Nothing.
Something.
Nothing.
Is that your phone? This one? No.
This isn't my phone.
This is Madison's phone.
She left it at home.
I was just returning it to her room.
Are you reading her text messages while you return it to her room? I have a good reason.
Excuse.
Lauren's dad called me.
Hey, Dad.
You startled me.
What are you doing here? I just came by to say hello to you and your brother.
Mom and David took Jason out to get some stuff for med camp.
He wants to look all professional this year.
Last year, apparently he took a lot of shorts and no one was wearing shorts, and What'd I do? I don't know.
What did you do? I didn't do anything.
Maybe you did, and maybe you didn't, but when I was talking to Jason yesterday, he said you spent the night at Madison's Friday night.
I've spent the night over at Madison's lots of Friday nights.
Yeah, but I don't think you spent the night over there last Friday night.
And before you say anything, let me ready you an e-mail I got from you yesterday.
"I hope no one finds out "we're at that guest house.
"You better not tell anyone "anyone we're at that guest house because my parents would kill me.
" What guest house would that be? What e-mail would that be? The one obviously intended for Madison.
Rats.
How did I do that? I don't know, but you did do that.
What guest house? Jack's guest house.
You spent the night at Jack's guest house with Jessie.
It wasn't quite like that.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Put that on hold.
Who are you texting? Madison? Yes.
Lauren, I'm surprised at you.
Me, too.
What did you do? Hey, Dad.
Jason.
Get out of here.
Don't you wanna see my new shirts? No, I don't.
Hi, Kenny.
How's it hanging? Hi, Dave.
Do you mind, both of you? I'd like a few minutes to talk to my daughter alone.
Is this a family matter? Because Lauren's my daughter, too.
Not really.
No, she isn't.
Not for purposes of this discussion she's not.
Ooh.
You really stepped in it, didn't you? What's going on? Jason, out.
Bye.
Is there a problem? I can handle it.
I'm sure you can, but Hey, surgeons don't operate on their own family members, so maybe you shouldn't Maybe I shouldn't what? Do you want me to stay here? You want me to stick around? No, Dave.
Thanks, but no.
Because if you want me She doesn't want you, Dave.
Thank you for that.
I really think this should be between the two of us.
You mean, between the three of us, don't you? Dad and I need to talk, just the two of us.
Well, I'll decide that.
Look, I just wanna talk to my daughter, all right? So you came all the way over to the house, unannounced, to talk to our daughter about what? I spent the night with Jessie over at Jack's guest house.
But we didn't do anything.
You lied? You lied to me and told me that you were spending the night at Madison's, so I don't know if I care if anything more than that happened or not.
You are on restriction, young lady, for the summer.
No Jessie, okay? The two of you are not gonna spend this summer doing what I know you want to do.
So no Jessie.
And next time, call.
You're supposed to call me before you just drop by over here.
That's our agreement.
I didn't do anything.
They're right outside.
Put that down.
I pay for the phone.
Put it down.
Put it on the bed and back away, Morgan, before anyone gets hurt.
Uh, what's going on? Red alert from Lauren.
You tell me.
What are you doing with my phone? I'll let you two talk.
No, you can stay.
I don't wanna be in the middle of this one.
What one? Were you reading my text messages? I got a call from Lauren's dad asking if she slept over here on Friday night.
Um, I slept over not here Friday night.
Where? You slept over where on Friday night? Okay, I slept at Jack's guest house, but we didn't do anything.
I slept on the bottom bunk with Lauren, and Jessie was on top.
On the top bunk.
And Jack was all the way across the room in a chair and so was Tom.
You lied.
That's the thing, Madison.
You lied.
All right.
I I lied, but only because I knew you wouldn't let me do what I really wanted to do.
Uh-oh.
And that would be? I want to go to Phoenix with Jack for a week to visit his parents.
No.
Okay, that's it.
That's the end of you and Jack right there with that.
Oh, no.
What? Emily, if she wants to act like a little child and stomp her foot because she doesn't get her way, then she's certainly not old enough to spend a week away with her boyfriend.
She's not even old enough to have a boyfriend.
Morgan Emily.
Well, you can't stop me.
Madison.
Emily.
Really, Madison, you are just too young to have a serious boyfriend, and you're too young to have friends with babies.
And you're not gonna have a baby because you're not gonna see Jack anymore, and that is it.
Can I have my phone back, please? And who are you texting? Lauren.
To tell her that we're not gonna be friends anymore.
And you know what? We're not gonna be friends anymore either.
I don't wanna be your friend.
I am not your friend.
I am your father.
Hi, Amy.
Hey, Lauren.
What's up? Nothing good.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry I didn't text you back.
I just thought I'd call.
I miss you.
My dad's over here.
He just screwed up my entire life in one visit.
Your dad dad? That one.
How? Oh, I e-mailed him by mistake.
I was e-mailing him and e-mailing Jessie and e-mailing Madison, all of them one after the other.
I guess an e-mail I thought I sent to Madison went to him.
Oh, that's too bad.
I'm sorry.
What did it say? Oh, wait.
I have another call.
Can you hang on? It's probably just Madison.
I'm glad you're still speaking to her, because I'm not speaking to her.
Oh, and you wanna know something else? Amy? You there? And now he tells me that we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore because he thinks we're gonna do something stupid like get pregnant.
Yeah.
That is a pretty stupid thing to do.
Can I call you back? I have Lauren on the other line.
Oh, that is so just like her to try to get to you first.
And I didn't mean stupid.
That was a bad choice of words.
Uh Hello? Amy? Hey.
Here you are.
Oh, hi.
I was just talking to some friends back home.
Hang up.
You're going out with us.
Oh, no.
It's okay.
I'm just gonna stay in tonight.
Nope.
We're not taking no for an answer.
You never go out.
Tonight you're going out.
We're gonna take you to that new club Pajamas.
And no admittance without pajamas, so get dressed.
Well, actually, undressed.
Go on.
We're gonna wait for you.
Lauren? Madison? All right, all right.
I'll just be a minute.
And don't stop to call John or Ricky or anyone.
Let's go.
It's your night, Amy Juergens.
Hey, there you guys are.
Sorry.
Those ladies at the nursery love to chat.
Can I help you with something? Got it all under control.
All right.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna get John ready for bed before dinner tonight 'cause I need to run over to my apartment and take care of some things later.
I'll just be gone about an hour, if that's okay.
You taking him with you? I'm gonna ask Ashley if she'll keep an eye on him.
Okay.
Let me know how that goes.
Yeah.
I can't watch John tonight.
Hi, John.
Say hi to Aunt Ashley.
Hi, Aunt Ashley.
Why not? I'll just be gone an hour.
I don't have an hour.
Ohhh.
It's a private conversation.
We'll just cover our ears.
I don't know why you're so upset.
I'm the one who should be upset.
You told everyone I was in New York.
You didn't have to do that.
It wasn't anyone's business if I was in New York.
Your sister and I needed to talk.
Do you really think you're in love with Amy? I don't know.
All I know is I might wanna find that out before she's in love with someone else or I fall in love with someone else, because your sister and I have a baby together.
And you really think you're ready for a relationship? A monogamous relationship? You? I might be.
I could be.
Yeah, you could be, but that would mean that you'd have to commit to being with Amy and only Amy for the rest of your life.
The rest of your life.
Let me say that again.
The rest of your life.
So? So I doubt you're ready.
All right.
That's what I need the hour for.
I wanna go to therapy tonight.
So, will you watch John or not? I'll watch him! I hate being in a house where everyone can hear everything I'm saying.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Hi, honey.
I'm home.
So, how was it? It was great.
It was really great.
I have so much stuff to tell you that Donovan and I came up with.
But how was your day? Dull as dishwater, just like I like it.
I don't know, George.
I don't know if you're really gonna be satisfied staying at home watching Robie and cooking and cleaning.
Who's staying at home? We went to the park with Moose after you left and went to the pet store and let Moose get some new toys.
Then we came home and cleaned up and had some lunch and took a nap.
Then we watched Oprah while we folded some laundry.
Now he's sleeping, and I'm making dinner.
Piece of cake.
How did you find the time to go to the park and watch Oprah? I never had the time to go to the park and watch Oprah.
I don't know.
Is that bouillabaisse? Oui.
I love you.
I love you.
Oh, knock it off before no one can enjoy the bouillabaisse.
Why don't we tell her? What? No, it's supposed to be a surprise.
Oh, I hate surprises.
Your dad and I are getting married again.
Like I said, I hate surprises.
Well, it's not that big of a surprise, is it? It's not such a big surprise that you hate it, is it? No.
It's more like I don't care.
No one cares.
You're as married/divorced as you were when you were married.
So if you wanna get married again, get married again.
Thank you.
I think we're going to as soon as Amy gets back.
Oh, something else to look forward to.
Let's call Amy and tell her.
Yeah, more fun.
You want to? Let's do it.
Do we have to? You know, every party has a pooper, and that's what we invited you for.
Party pooper, party pooper.
* 'Cause I'm ready * * To break free * * Comes to me * * I've been waiting * Dad, is that you? Where are you? I'm at a club.
You're at a club? At a club? Really? Who's at a club? Amy.
We just called to tell you some good news.
What's she doing at a club? Dad, I can't hear you.
Talk louder.
What kind of club? What kind of club? It's a pajama club.
You have to wear pajamas to get in.
Pajama club.
You have to wear pajamas to get in.
Interesting.
Not really.
I'll be back.
Amy, your dad and I are getting married again.
Really? Tonight? No, not tonight.
What? I can't hear you.
What? Just hang up.
Okay, Amy, I'll talk to you later.
I love you.
Bye.
So, when Amy gets back? When Amy gets back.
* Comes to me * * I've been waiting * There you go, Lady Liberty.
* For so long * * Now I'm ready * Need some help with that? No, I don't.
Butthanks.
You're welcome.
I thought you were staying home tonight with John.
I thought that's why you couldn't come over.
Change of plans.
See you.
Wait.
Not so fast.
How was New York? New York was New York.
I talked to Amy.
Amy didn't tell you anything about New York.
I know she didn't.
She didn't have to tell me anything.
I could read between the lines.
And, well, she sounded as if Never mind.
As if what? I don't know.
It's just that Just that what? I guess I can tell you.
I mean, we're friends, so why not? Look, I think maybe you confuse Amy by going to see her.
How's that? You know she loves Ben.
She's always loved Ben, and now she won't even speak to Ben.
She wasn't speaking to Ben anyway.
I think that has something to do with you, not me.
It could, but Look, I think someone at the program told Amy she should be with the father of her baby and that all girls should be with the father of their babies, even if they're in love with another guy.
Did Amy say that? Not exactly, no.
But she's not She's not trying to get you to marry her or something like that, is she? I mean, that's what they probably tell those girls at those programs to get the baby's father to marry them.
I mean, that's what my own father is telling me to get Ben to marry me.
But like I told you, I would never marry Ben because he loves Amy, and they belong together.
And what? We belong together? We don't belong together, Adrian.
I'd like to be friends if that's possible, but we don't belong together.
You're having Ben's baby, not my baby.
Ben's baby.
So maybe Ben and Amy weren't meant to be after all.
And maybe like your father said, you and Ben should get married.
I think you should get married.
How come you're moving the baby seat out of the car? You going out? I'm going to therapy.
No, I don't think so.
You don't move the baby seat out of the car to go to therapy.
You move the baby seat out of the car when you're planning on getting together with, well, whoever you can get together with.
I know you really well.
Good night.
Ricky, I know you, and I accept who you are, unlike Amy.
She is never gonna understand you the way I understand you.
Good.
I'm glad, all right? I don't want her to accept me or understand me.
I want her to change me.
No one can change you, Ricky.
And no one can change you.
Good night.
Hey, you coming with us? Oh, you're still here? I thought you and Betty had left.
No, it's still early.
You coming? No.
I think I'm gonna go over and see Grace tonight.
Grace? Why is that? I thought I might ask her opinion about a ring for Adrian.
A ring? What kind of ring? You know what kind of ring.
I don't think I do.
You can't be talking about an engagement ring while you're walking around here still crying 'cause Amy hasn't called you and told you all about last weekend with Ricky.
I could be.
You're gonna marry Adrian to get back at Amy for not calling you? Did you not learn your lesson when you had sex with Adrian to get back at Amy? Guess not.
Wait until Amy gets home.
Wait until you sit down and talk to her.
Clear the air, give it some time, and as things go along, see how you feel about Adrian, all right? No, not "all right.
" I'm just gonna marry Adrian and get it over with.
Not out of spite you're not.
Uh-uh.
I thought that you and Ruben wanted me and Adrian to get married.
We do.
But we want you and Adrian to want to get married.
If you don't wanna get married, it's not gonna be a good marriage for either one of you.
And you can't get married out of spite, you hear me? I hear you.
But you know what? I'm a big boy now, and I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do.
Yeah, unless, of course, I tell you you can't.
You can't get married.
When and if the time is right, I'll go along with it.
But I'm not gonna go along with it right now under these circumstances.
Then how's this? I accept that Amy and I are not ever going to be together.
Maybe because I'm having a baby with Adrian, or maybe because she had a baby with Ricky, or maybe for no reason at all other than it was just never meant to be.
But I'm going to suck it up, I'm gonna be responsible, and I'm gonna marry the woman who's gonna be the mother of my child.
And unlike Ricky, I wanna do that before the baby gets here.
Unlike Ricky.
Unlike Ricky.
You don't wanna be like Ricky.
I don't wanna be like Ricky.
What's being or not being like Ricky have to do with anything? Okay.
Fine.
Don't be like Ricky.
Go over to Adrian's house and tell her father that you wanna marry her, 'cause that's just what he wants to hear.
You wanna do it, do it.
I change my mind.
I'm not gonna stop you.
Go ahead.
You wanna get married, get married.
For whatever reason or no reason at all.
I will.
Go.
Maybe after I go over to Grace's.
Yeah.
Pick out the ring first.
That's the important thing picking out the ring.
That and trying to put it on the finger of your best friend's ex-girlfriend because he screwed up your life by getting your girlfriend pregnant before she was even your girlfriend.
Hey, Benjamin.
Uh, Leo, Bunny wants you to call her before we go out.
Really? Mm-hmm.
She called here at the house? Mm-hmm.
Yep.
She said she didn't wanna disturb you, and she said that she wanted to apologize for what she had to do.
Yep, that was the message that she really wanted to talk to you about what she had to do.
What'd she have to do? I don't know.
What'd she have to do? I don't know.
Are you sure you don't know? You were at the shop all day.
I guess she might be referring to the fact that she had to let me go.
Let you go where? She fired you? You got fired from the family business a business with our name on it? For what? Attacking Ricky.
He wouldn't tell me what happened with Amy last weekend.
For the love of Pete.
Is he dead Ricky? Because, well, if he is dead, she's gonna need Ben more than ever.
I mean, not that I would want Ricky to be dead.
It's just that if if Ricky isn't dead, is he? I mean, is he hurt or something? Unfortunately, no.
He lives and lives on in John.
So that's what's driving you to get married.
You got angry with Ricky and got yourself fired from the job, and now you wanna get married.
I don't know how much more of this I can take, Ben, without losing my temper.
Without really losing my temper.
And no one wants to see me really lose my temper! Jeez, Ben.
I'm really hungry.
I mean, this probably means we're not gonna go to dinner now.
Probably.
I should've just told him.
I thought I had more time before he found out, and I'd use that time wisely to do something stupid.
Well, look, Ben, you can't just run around and go attacking some guy because he's he's with a woman you can't have.
You know? Yeah, I know.
And you can't run around and marry some girl just because she's the woman you can have.
Yes, I can, Betty.
Unfortunately, I can, and I'm going to.
Probably.
Hey, Dr.
Fields, right? Right.
Aren't you Leo Boykewich.
Right.
My daughter goes to school with your son.
Lauren.
She's Amy Juergen's best friend.
Oh, right.
Lauren.
Nice girl.
So, how's the shrink business? A patient didn't show up.
I had my own problems I needed to deal with tonight, so I left my family and went back to the office, and then the patient doesn't show up.
So the shrink business stinks.
Thanks for asking.
Nights like this make me think I should just quit while I'm ahead.
Not that I'm ahead, I mean.
Nights like this make me think I should get out of the meat business.
My son, Ben, got fired from his job at our butcher shop this afternoon.
I mean, he's obsessed with Amy, and You know, my daughter lied about where she was spending the night Friday night.
I found out, and now her mother has forbid her from seeing this guy.
I don't think she and this guy were doing anything.
I don't think they were doing anything.
It's just that she lied about where she was.
They weren't doing anything.
They weren't.
Why'd she lie? They wanted to spend the night together.
To do what? To donothing.
I mean, what teenage boy isn't gonna do it if he can do it? I wish it weren't true, but Statistics say otherwise.
Only half of teenagers have sex in high school.
What, and the other half are girls? Who are all these boys doing it with, huh? They're not all doing it.
They're not.
That's how Ben got into trouble.
He had the chance, he took it, and now And now he's having a baby.
I'm scared to death that's what's gonna happen to Lauren, which is why I got upset about her lying.
But they weren't doing anything.
They weren't.
Ben and Adrian had sex to get back at Ricky and Amy.
Now he actually wants to marry Adrian to get back at Ricky and Amy.
I mean, the two of them, if they wanted to get married, that would be one thing.
But to get married out of spite.
Can you believe that? Married? My 16-year-old son is having a baby and he wants to get married, and it all comes from getting back at a ex-girlfriend and his best friend.
I mean, what kind of marriage is that? What kind of life is that to be married to someone you don't wanna be married to? How's your marriage going? You got married recently, didn't you? Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
And? We're happy.
We're very happy.
Very happy.
Both of you? Look, I only answer for myself, of course.
You're very happy.
You don't look very happy.
You know, maybe I'll call your office.
Mmm.
I'll tell you what my problem is.
I want my family back.
I want my wife back.
Yeah.
Yeah, me, too.
But in my case, that's not possible.
But in your case She remarried.
Oh.
She's not dead, is she? No.
No, she isn't.
Come in.
Oh.
Hey, Ben.
Grace isn't home.
She and Grant went to pick up some things for med camp.
Or at least that's where she said she was going.
They're probably out somewhere making out.
Okay.
You can wait here if you want.
Can I? Yeah.
Why not? It's not your house? Yeah, well, no one's home, so Mmm.
Madison's dad is making us break up.
I'm thinking about getting married.
Oh, well, if you're thinking about marrying Grace, you're out of luck, and so am I.
I think she's in love with this Grant guy.
No, I'm not thinking about marrying Grace.
I'm thinking about marrying Adrian.
I just feel compelled to marry her.
Because of the baby? Yeah.
Sort of.
And because I think it's unfair that Amy's getting back together with Ricky.
I mean, I think she is.
I have a feeling she is.
Why couldn't I have just gotten her pregnant instead of Adrian? Wasn't she already pregnant when you met her? Yes.
Yes, she was, but I fell in love with her anyway.
What is this, a meeting of the lonely hearts club? We need to get out there and get our women back.
How are you supposed to get Tammy back? Forget it.
She's married, Tom.
Every relationship can be broken.
Not every relationship.
Not Ricky and Amy apparently.
Every relationship.
How'd I get myself into this? I just wanted to have some fun.
Yeah, that's how most people get into it.
Where are your parents? They're at a medical fund-raiser for some kids in Africa.
And you're okay with this? I'm okay with this.
What is this? We're just making out.
We've made out before.
Not with our shirts off.
Uh, I said with your shirt off.
Yeah, okay.
What about pants? Pants off? No.
Pants on.
All pants stay on.
Especially underpants, which I prefer to call knickers.
Knickers, huh? How about knickers on but pants off? Uh, I don't know how I feel about that.
You like to dance? We could have a pants-off dance off.
Really? That sounds fun.
Or we could just dance, because I have a feeling that if anything comes off, we'll get ourselves into a situation we can't get out of.
And what would that situation be? That situation would be sex.
Yeah.
I don't wanna have sex.
I wanna have sex, but it may be a little early in the relationship to have sex.
Besides, we have the whole summer to have sex at med camp.
Do they even check to see if the car's in the driveway? No.
They hear we're out for the evening, and they think we're out for the evening.
Did you hear that? No, I didn't hear that.
What didn't I hear? He said they have the whole summer to have sex at med camp.
Yeah, that's what he said that Grant.
Well, he's right, you know? They do.
And that's part of what med camp's for, you know? To get these young, would-be, could-be doctors into bed together and get them ready for medical school.
What? I'm joking, Kathleen, all right? I'm joking.
Look, teenagers don't need med camp as an excuse to have sex with each other.
No.
They just need a pants-off dance off.
A what? Yeah, that's what he suggested a pants-off dance off.
Interesting approach.
Points for creativity.
They're not gonna have sex, all right? Not yet.
You don't know that.
Oh, I know that.
Hey, Grace, we're home! Thank you.
So, do you dance? Shut up.
We can't do it again.
I have to go.
You don't have to go.
I don't have to go.
No one has to go anywhere until we're ready to go.
You said you only have an hour.
It's been an hour and a half.
I know.
But it was really nice.
Really.
What happened in New York? Someone promise someone he'd be faithful? Yeah.
It makes me run in the other direction, too.
We didn't agree to be faithful.
I'm not breaking any promises here, and she's not breaking any promises there.
Even if she is out at a club? Even if she is.
All we said was we'd think about it.
Well, I like the way you think.
Good night, all right? I had a really nice time.
Really nice.
But I have to go.
Call me, or don't call me.
Good night.
Good night.
No text from Ricky? No.
No text from Madison or Lauren? No.
From your sister? No.
Not even from your mom or dad? No, but whatever.
I had a really nice time.
You should have a picture.
All right.
Nice.
What are you doing? I'm sending it to Ricky.
Whatever.
Let's go.
We have class tomorrow.
It's late.
It's late.
We have class.
We shouldn't have any fun.
We're mommies.
Enjoy it.
The real world is coming back sooner than you think.
What are you doing here? Your dad let me in.
Oh, did he? Hmm.
Nice of him to ask me if I wanted company.
Sorry.
But, uh, I saw that your light was on, and I left my phone at home, and I was out driving around, thinking about things, and I just felt like seeing you.
So Amy still didn't call you, huh? No.
She might if you had your phone.
No, I don't think so.
I'll just wait to talk to her when she gets back.
Mm-hmm.
So I guess you talked to Ricky? I saw him out in front of the house.
Be careful.
The front of the house can be trouble.
Yeah, it can be.
But as far as Ricky goes, I think that trouble is over.
I'm over him.
Are you? Maybe.
Look, Ben, we've been acting like idiots because we're not ready to let go of Amy and Ricky.
And as ridiculous as that is, it's true.
Yeah.
Here's what I'm thinking.
And don't think that I don't care for you, because I do.
And I care for you, but let's face it, we're not in love with each other.
No.
So what would happen if we got engaged? What would happen if Amy and Ricky thought that we were gonna be unavailable to them for the rest of our lives? Okay, if you give me a ring, I think my dad might insist you marry me.
I would know it was a fake engagement, and you would know it was a fake engagement, but if no one else knew it was a fake engagement and my father thought it was real, I just don't know if you could get out of it, or if we could get out of it.
I'd be willing to take that chance.
Would you? I think you should text them all.
No.
I don't care, really.
You do, too, care.
And you know what? You should say that you care.
You should say how you feel.
You should let people know.
If you are upset about something, you need to let them know.
That's what we've been talking about in group.
Been talking about not trying to be perfect just because we totally screwed up.
I mean, we still have feelings, and some of those feelings towards people are not so great.
Your feeling towards your friends and family tonight, for example.
I mean, you could let them know in a nice way, but you should let them know.
Here.
Let me take another picture a picture that you can send to everyone.
And put "Happy birthday to me" as the subject.
I don't know.
Do it.
Wait.
It's Ricky.
That's sweet, but why would he send me that? I'll tell you why.
Because he thinks you're out at a club having fun while poor Ricky is home alone with John, which I doubt, by the way.
He probably just got home.
That sounds about right.
Happy birthday, Amy.
