The Secret Life of the American Teenager s04e14 Episode Script

I want you and John to live here.
She would have been eight weeks old today.
She was my daughter, too.
I can find another place to stay.
You can stay in the house if you need to.
KATHLEEWho is this woman with two children that wants to marry Tom? Why would you be looking for another job? It's time to make a change in my life.
I don't want to be married.
Me neither.
Apparently Camille is in love with you.
That's why she quit.
What? Don't you think it'd be appropriate to tell your mothers That you three were living together? You can't be in Florida already.
We're at Toby's grandmother's house.
Grace would never cheat on me.
She's on a medical mission.
Who would she cheat with? Is Grace home? Are you Daniel? My dad's got you working for him today? Honored to be here.
I broke up with Madison.
I'm still in love with you.
You are not going to take another drink again anytime soon.
I can talk to him if you want.
About the dangers of alcohol.
I had almost two years without a drink.
I take it you fell off the wagon? This is your last chance to be involved in my life.
I want to get pregnant again.
What if you have a new plan? I would like you to move out.
Adrian is still in love with Ricky.
I feel a little relieved.
Well, would you feel relieved if we split up? Maybe I could rent Ashley's room from you.
Maybe I could live here.
If I could get you a really, really hot date, would you go out then? Who would I fix her up with? That guy upstairs.
We've been together since the third grade.
You are not breaking up with me at school, are you? I know someone who lives upstairs.
My husband and I are getting a divorce.
Divorce attorney.
I really don't want anything to do with you, okay? We're still friends.
PRINCIPAL NASH: Our valedictorian, Richard Underwood.
Amy Juergens, will you marry me? Hi.
I'm Grace.
Whatever.
Ben Boykewich.
Dylan.
Heard you wanted one last kiss.
And what are you gonna do about it? That was totally disrespectful.
Jesse? Thanks, Henry.
I should let you go.
Why would you let me go? Because we've been on the phone all afternoon, and it's Saturday, and maybe you have things to do.
I don't.
Me neither.
Oh.
Another thing we have in common! Another thing we have in common! Oh, it's crazy, isn't it? How much we have in common.
My mom's Jewish.
My dad's Catholic.
My dad had a Jewish grandmother and a Catholic grandmother.
That's another thing! That's another thing! Wow.
That's crazy, isn't it? It's crazy.
Gotta go.
Who was that? Just a guy I met.
At the lake.
How old is he? He'll be a senior.
Uh-huh.
And? And he's the son of the Sausage King.
Really? But you're a vegetarian.
Well, at least for the past month, which I'm still not sure is healthy.
Of course, it might be healthier than eating sausage every day.
Mom, would you stop that? He's cute and he's nice and he likes me.
This could be it.
This could be my first boyfriend.
Really? Robert! Get in here! Did I hear you on the phone all afternoon? Oh, did you? Sorry.
Who were you talking to? Just some girl I met at the party.
Dylan.
Dylan, huh? Well, that's an interesting name.
Interesting girl.
And she's a redhead.
I love redheads.
So ask her out.
I'm going to.
I will.
Go ahead.
I don't know if this is the right first boyfriend for you.
You don't get to pick my first boyfriend.
Of course not.
We just get to approve of him.
So, when can you get him over here? Yeah.
Get him over here.
Hello! I have to wait until he actually asks me out.
You've been on the phone with him all afternoon.
He didn't ask you out? He likes me.
I know he likes me.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) See? Hi, Ben.
So, I was wondering.
What are you doing tonight? What am I doing tonight? Do you want to go to dinner or something? Sure.
You want me to meet you somewhere? My parents are standing right here.
My dad is standing right here.
It's another thing we have in common! Another thing we have in common! What? Nosey, overprotective parents.
Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet, kid.
I'll pick you up at 7:00.
I'll get your address from you later.
I don't really want an audience for this conversation.
(SIGHS) Me neither.
Bye.
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 + I thought we were taking a nap.
(CHUCKLES) I can't sleep.
I can.
We hardly got any sleep last night, and we've got John at 5:00, so So Thank you for this.
Thank you for saying yes.
Was there ever any doubt? No.
Or I wouldn't on the line like that in front of so many witnesses.
(CHUCKLES) Can we talk about this later? to do this, do nothing.
I don't either, (CHUCKLES)t help it.
You can help it.
Come here.
So, you gonna want a big wedding? I don't know.
I never thought about it.
Never thought about it? You were practically married for months now.
You haven't kind of planned the wedding? I wasn't begging you! And, no, I haven't.
I just wanted the ring.
But you don't want to get married? It's an engagement ring.
You know that, right? You realize you said you would marry me in front of like 200 people, That's what "yes" means.
I know that, but We don't have to get married anytime soon.
And when we do, to be anything big.
I just wanted the ring, really.
What? I don't need anything else besides this ring.
With this ring, totally committing to me and so does everyone else.
Okay, well, I didn't just give you a ring to mark my territory or something.
I actually want to be married.
I do too, but I think we should wait until I've graduated, at least.
Don't you? I guess.
And then, maybe, if we feel like it, we can just run off one weekend and get married.
Whatever you want.
But I wouldn't make it too long, 'cause sometimes getting engaged can just make two people more attractive to other people.
You know how it is.
People like trying to take someone that they think belongs to someone else.
It's a game.
Like Madison going after Jesse? How do you know going after Madison? And I am not getting and you shouldn't either.
I'm talking about us.
Anyway.
king about you.
Guys might be more attracted to you now that you have that ring on your finger.
What makes you think that? I've been a guy.
I mean, I am a guy.
You're my guy.
I love you.
Well, look who's up.
I didn't get much sleep last night.
Good party, huh? It was a great party.
Great because? Did you and Daniel No, Mom, we didn't.
Oh, excellent.
you would.
thought I mean, Daniel doesn't seem like the type to be so public about his private life.
Well, neither am I.
No, I guess you're not.
I'm not.
Wow, for someone who was at such a great party, you don't seem very happy.
Honey, is everything okay? Yeah, everything is okay.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Daniel? Daniel? DANIEL: Yeah, it's me.
Grace, I'm sorry.
I apologize.
I totally overreacted my old girlfriend.
Really? You're apologizing? I thought you'd be upset with me.
Why would I be upset with you? You didn't do anything.
No.
No, I just I mean I should have just left with you.
I don't know why I stayed.
Because I was being a jerk.
Can I make it up to you tonight? Um, sure.
But not saying that you have to make it up to me.
Why don't we just forget about it? I never should have asked you to take me to that stupid party.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) What time should I pick you up? Hey, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you to get up so we could talk.
Jack, look, I made a mistake.
I don't think that we should get back together.
I mean, that kiss, that was just a kiss.
No, it wasn't just a kiss.
It wasn't just a kiss at all.
And I'll prove it to you.
You want me to kiss you again? No.
Yeah.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Hello? Where is he? Is he there? He's not taking my calls.
Who is this? Who do you think it is? It's Adrian! I'm looking for Omar.
I blocked your calls.
Yeah, I unblocked them from your phone last night in the car.
Where is he? I haven't seen him since I dropped him off.
And what time was that? Uh, I don't know and I don't know that that's any of your business.
Dropped him off where? He lives upstairs from you.
Again, I don't know that that's any of your business.
Daniel, please, please, tell me where he is.
Look, I've lost enough this year.
I can't lose him, too.
I really care about him and I want to apologize to him.
Please find him for me, please.
I'll see what I can do, Adrian.
Thank you.
Adrian.
She's called me 27 times.
(CHUCKLES) And? And I know she's trouble.
But I'm attracted to her in some crazy way, and I'd call her if If she hadn't met my brother first.
That wasn't bothering you before.
Well, it's bothering me now.
Why? Because I don't like seeing her kiss another guy.
We should have stayed at that stupid party, man.
Hi.
Your mom let me in.
Yeah, well my mom doesn't know that you slept with my boyfriend.
And my mom doesn't know that I hate you.
Get out! Wake up.
Huh? (GROANS) Oh.
How are you? I'm not good.
How are you? (SIGHS) I'm all right.
You're all right? You're all right! Henry slept with your wife and you're all right? + What happened? He stood you up? Do you want me to have my dad go over to his house and arrest him or something? 'Cause he will.
If I ask him to, he definitely will.
I don't know what I did wrong.
We talked on the phone for hours.
Oh.
That could've been it.
What? We found out we have a lot in common.
Well, maybe he just doesn't want to go out with someone just like him.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Well, you have to leave a little mystery, you know.
You can't just tell him everything at once.
But we were having such a good time talking, and then he called and asked me out.
And just a half-hour ago, he called and said he couldn't make it.
Maybe that girl that was there, that kind of trashy-looking girl They all looked trashy.
Which one? The only other girl he was talking to all night.
Oh.
That's his ex-wife.
Or she will be his ex-wife when they get divorced.
What? So, he's married and he's getting a divorce, and he's still in high school? Hello? Loser.
DYLAN: Well, no, not a loser.
Unfortunately, he just got this girl pregnant.
MERCEDES: He has a kid? No, they lost the baby.
The baby passed away.
Get away from my door! The guy is married! (CHUCKLING) He can't be! He had to get married, and then something happened with the baby.
I didn't get that.
No, whoa, I think you've heard enough.
Come on.
He didn't want to be married to her in the first place, so Still, I mean, maybe you should just stick to guys at our school.
But we're not in school all summer.
I wanted to meet a guy this summer.
And I did.
I want Ben Boykewich.
Even knowing all this? Yes.
Well, if you want him, you should have him.
Let's go get him.
Yeah, let's just go get him.
What? When you were talking to him, did you find out where he lived? Kind of.
He kind of said where he lived, and then I found it on the Internet.
It's a nice house.
Okay, we can't just go get him.
Yes, we can.
Can we? Yeah, we can if we want.
Okay, well, should we just go get Daniel for you, as well? Ouch.
I can get Daniel without having to go and get Daniel, okay? All I have to do is forward a picture.
Who's that? I'm sorry, who is this? Geez, it's me, Madison, and you better learn who I am 'cause I am possibly your only friend.
Madison, of Lauren and Madison? Isn't Lauren your friend? And Amy? Lauren was my friend.
And Amy was my friend, too.
Until I slept with Jesse.
Who's that? Uh, Jesse.
Lauren's boyfriend.
Oh, yeah, the guy throwing the party.
Yeah, the guy throwing the party, and Lauren's boyfriend.
So, you called me because Because I slept with Jesse last night, and you slept with Adrian (EXCLAIMS) People know? Does everyone know? I thought maybe only Alice knew.
Uh, no, everyone knows.
Are you kidding? And now, now we are outcasts.
Oh, God.
Which is why I was considering if maybe you would like to sign up for summer school.
What? No way.
Adrian is in summer school.
So am I.
I mean, I was supposed to go with Lauren.
But, you know, now she's going to be there, and I cannot just go in there alone, you know.
I can't.
I need a friend.
I have to have a friend.
Someone.
Anyone.
Thanks.
I just want to talk to him.
Adrian, this is so not like you, to beg a guy to go out with you.
Oh, well, it is so like you to be going out with Jack and Daniel at the same time, but criticizing me.
You're no better than I am.
You're too fickle, you know that? No, I'm not.
I'm not fickle.
And I'm not going out with Jack and Daniel at the same time.
I just I just kissed Jack.
I just kissed him again.
I don't know why I did that.
Why did I do that? What am I doing? I don't know.
What am I doing? What, are you doing something? (SIGHS) I did something.
What did you do? You don't know? I don't know.
Oh, I hope Ben doesn't know.
I think I may have reached rock bottom.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, me.
I love Daniel, but I kind of maybe still love Jack.
I slept with Henry.
Henry? Henry who? Of Henry and Alice? Yeah, I know.
I know.
I know what this is about.
You had hours to say something to me, Henry! Hours! I had to find out that you slept with Adrian through Alice! Ben, I'm sorry.
I would never have even approached her.
You know that.
She's my wife! Well, ex-wife, or about to be.
Not that that makes any difference.
It was a betrayal on a level I didn't think I was capable of, t it wasn't my fault.
Oh, dear God.
You're not going to go there, are you? You're not going to blame her for seducing you.
She did not seduce me or you! Yes, she did! No, she did not.
She is not to blame for what happened in that car that night.
I'm as guilty as she is of betraying Amy and Ricky and getting pregnant as a result.
You'd like to think so, I'm sure, but What? She just I didn't even You were with that girl, that other girl.
Not that that's any excuse.
It's just that she felt rejected by Ricky, and then by that other guy and then by you, and she didn't have anyone to turn to, and I guess I just felt sorry for her.
And we went into that bedroom to talk, and it was late and we were just talking And then, we were not talking And Ben, I am so sorry.
I am deeply sorry.
I'm ashamed of myself.
We've known each other since the third grade.
You're my closest friend.
Or you were.
I know I deserve this, Ben, but Don't ever come over to this house again, Henry.
You're no longer welcome here.
MERCEDES: Go on! RAVEN: Get up there! WENDY: Mmm-hmm.
Ask him.
Hi.
I'm sorry to just show up like this, but, um, my friends were wondering Why'd you break our date? + Because when a screen becomes this good just showing off in front of the class? You're not really going to marry her? What? No.
Not me.
It's not me.
Dad, what a terrible thing to say to my future husband.
I think that's what he's getting at.
"Future.
" How far into the future, do you think? Would you two calm down? Why should they be in such a hurry? Hurry? You call waiting two years after the baby is born a hurry? Good one.
Thank you.
They don't have to get married at all.
Okay, okay, I said yes, okay? I want to get married.
I just don't want to spend my senior year of high school making wedding plans.
I wanna make sure I get into a good college, too.
For what? He's the man.
He got into college.
You don't have to go.
(BOTH LAUGH) Oh, great.
She thinks he's funny.
You don't think George is funny? I mean, it took me a while to get used to his sense of humor, but come on.
He's funny.
He's not that funny.
Okay, well, maybe we'll just wake John up and take him.
It's almost his bedtime and he's still napping.
If you wake him up now, he's going to be in a bad mood.
A worse mood than you? I'm not in a bad mood.
Okay, I'm really starting to hate this arrangement.
You know that? I think somebody regrets sleeping with somebody else.
You told her that? I think I'll just go to my room.
Yeah, go to your room, young lady.
You know, George, I didn't object to Ricky's mother living here, but now I do.
Wait.
Do you want to live here? I know I don't even want to stay here another five minutes.
Amy? You think it's gonna be any better when we go over to your parents' house? With Margaret and Shakur? Yes, with Margaret and Shakur.
Yeah.
I do.
So your parents are better than Amy's parents? My parents are even better than my parents.
Your parents Never mind.
How did this even happen? We just wanted to come pick up John, and kind of celebrate getting engaged.
Engaged means you're getting married.
I just told her that this afternoon.
I did.
Okay, listen to me.
Everyone.
Yeah, everyone.
I am thrilled to be engaged to Ricky.
It's what I've wanted for a long time now.
But I just want some time to enjoy it, okay? When we get married, hopefully we'll be married for the rest of our lives, no offense.
None taken.
None taken.
So, we've got plenty of time.
A long engagement is never good.
It's not.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Oh, thank God.
It's Lauren.
I'm as surprised as you are.
I thought she'd want to get married next week.
Maybe you should talk to her.
What, about getting married her senior year of high school? It's a nice night.
I'll just be outside.
Or somewhere other than here.
(SIGHS) How did we screw up so badly? How did we take a marriage and three lovely children, and turn it into a divorce and living apart, and This is not how things are supposed to be! This is not how I saw my life turning out! As a divorced mother of three arguing with her ex-husband on a Saturday night about when our teenage daughter should marry the father of her baby.
Anne, there's nothing wrong with this life.
It's just life.
Well, it's not the life that I want.
It's really not.
And I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna make some changes.
Any changes that include me? I think I hear Robie.
(SIGHS) Nice room.
I think you've seen it before.
Don't remind me of my mistakes and I won't remind you of yours, all right? Deal.
How are you? I'm fine.
Little tired of waiting around for John to get up.
What time did he go down for his nap? Mmm, beats me.
I don't know.
5:00? (SCOFFS) I hate it when he gets off his schedule, when other people let him get off his schedule.
It wasn't me.
And I can't believe I'm hearing those words come out of your mouth.
Why not? I'm his dad.
I know, I know.
I didn't mean it in a bad way.
I just meant I can't believe you turned out to be such a beautiful person after all the hell I put you through.
Me neither.
That was one beautiful proposal.
Too bad it's not ending in a marriage.
What's going on? I don't know.
I think she's just really happy with the ring.
I guess, that's all right, isn't it? Yeah, sure, it is.
I mean You get married, you get married, you don't, you don't.
No, I asked her because I want to get married.
I want to get married.
Someone's looking for you.
John! Gotta go.
Hi, sweetie, how are you? Look.
Look.
Mommy got her ring! You told me I would get a ring, didn't you? He kept pointing to my hand, saying, "Ring.
" He's so cute.
John, wanna go play with your toys? Here you go.
Amy, don't let Ricky or your father pressure you into having a wedding until you're sure you want a wedding.
Really sure you want a wedding.
Mom, I wanna get married.
I love Ricky, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but there are still other things that I want to do.
I mean, I want to finish high school and go to college, get my masters and teach, and along the way, maybe offer my experience as a teenage mother in a way that would make a contribution to other teenage mothers.
I want to be married.
John and Ricky are two of the most important people in my life, but I honestly don't know how you top that graduation proposal.
That was better than any wedding could ever be.
But it doesn't mean the same thing.
An engagement is not a marriage.
Geez, does everyone just think I'm stupid? No, everyone just thinks you don't want to get married.
That's crazy! Of course I want to.
I just don't know when.
And I don't feel as if I have to decide when right away.
My life could not get any better than this, Mom.
I mean, I got what I wanted.
I'm happier than I ever knew I could be.
And I don't feel that it could be taken away from me.
I mean, I waited for this.
I earned this.
This is like a badge of honor, this ring.
And I don't just love Ricky and John.
I love myself.
(SIGHS) That's what I want.
That feeling, I want that.
Then you should have that.
Get that.
Get what? Ashley! Oh! It's so good to see you! Why didn't you let us know you were coming? We didn't really know.
We just started driving last week, and well, here we are.
I wish you had been here for the graduation.
Ashley, Ricky proposed to me.
He called me up on the stage and he proposed to me in front of everyone.
Really? How embarrassing.
Ashley.
Guess what? I got into college.
Yeah, I was a year behind Amy in high school, but I'll be a year ahead in college.
Wait, you got into college? I did.
Toby and I both did.
In Florida.
Oh.
So, it's not Oxford.
It's clown college.
Shut up.
You shut up.
Hey, what's going on? I didn't know you were back.
How are you? Dad rented out your room, you know.
+ This is his room! Wow.
Yeah, we could do something with this.
I like my room.
It's kind of plain compared to the rest of the house, don't you think? I guess, but it's been like this for years.
It's been like this? For years? And you like it like this? Hey, be nice.
He's new to us.
Yeah, be nice.
Well, I mean, it kind of looks like a place that people might hang out in and smoke pot or something.
Mmm-hmm.
No, no, no, no.
I guarantee you no pot has been smoked in here.
Would you like to smoke pot in here? I don't smoke pot.
Really? Ever tried it? No, never have.
Why? Do you want to smoke pot in here? I don't smoke.
Not only is it illegal, but I don't like to alter my mind that way.
Don't let them pressure you.
If you don't want to smoke, you don't have to smoke.
I don't want to smoke.
Do you mind if we smoke? You smoke pot? Well, not really, no.
Sometimes.
Huh.
All that conversation and you never mentioned that you smoke pot.
Okay, do you mind, or don't you? I I don't mind.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
First one's free.
Little joke.
Very little.
Hey.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
That's all right.
This will only take a minute.
What will only take a minute? I thought we were going out.
I don't really feel like going out.
Oh.
Is something wrong? (KEYPAD BEEPING) What's that? (SCOFFS) Oh.
It's a text message with an attachment from your old girlfriend.
And it's you and your old boyfriend.
Yeah, it is.
The morning after you left me at an all-night party all by myself.
But I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have stayed without you, and I shouldn't have done this.
I'm sorry I did it.
And I just want you to know that this is all I did.
I didn't do more than that.
And I'm really sorry, Daniel.
Are you? Of course I am.
You sure this didn't follow a long night together? No.
It didn't.
And why is your old girlfriend sending you that? What is she, like, the kissing police? All I did was kiss him.
No, no that's not all you did.
You gave me a reason to never trust you again.
And you gave me the feeling that you don't care about me.
You care about Jack.
You still care about Jack.
I didn't give you any of that.
Your old girlfriend gave you that.
And when she texted you that picture, that's exactly what she wanted to do.
To make it so you never trust me again.
So, you know what, forget it.
Go back to your old girlfriend if that's what you want to do.
That's not what I want to do.
But I don't want to be with you, either.
Well, I hope you're happy.
I hope you and Jack are really happy, because Daniel just broke up with me.
Oh, honey, that doesn't make me happy.
I like Daniel.
I like him.
Or at least I thought I did.
He just broke up with you? Yeah.
Just now.
He came over here.
I thought we were going out, and then he just broke up with me.
But why? Why would he do that? Because his stupid ex-girlfriend sent him a photo of me and Jack kissing at that party.
I can't believe you let me go to that! What are you, crazy? I'm 17! Mom, I should not be allowed to go to all-night parties, especially when there are seniors there! You know, if Dad was alive, he never would have let this happen, so I'm going to Adrian's.
So, did I hear yelling? Uh, yeah.
And maybe Grace would want to tell you what all that yelling was about.
Daniel broke up with her.
Yeah, and that does not mean she'll go back with you, Jack.
If anything, it may mean she'll just blame you.
But she already blamed you.
That could change.
Jack, just because Daniel and Grace had this big argument, it doesn't mean they're broken up.
I mean, sometimes jealousy can make people cling to each other.
Even when they shouldn't.
Are you talking about me? It's just that you're going to college, Jack, and you're going to be playing football in college.
And it's all going to be new and exciting.
And it's a great opportunity for you to get a fresh start in your education, in your athletic goals and your personal life.
Jack, there's gonna be a lot of girls at college that you've never met before.
So, I don't know.
Maybe, just maybe, it's time for you and Grace to really just be friends.
I'm so happy you came over here.
I hate being here by myself.
He broke up with me.
Okay, you have to remember that phones have cameras.
Hello! Cameras are everywhere.
Well, that didn't bother you when you were sleeping with Henry.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that no one took any pictures of that.
How do you know? I mean, maybe his old ex-girlfriend that was at that party, maybe she took photos of everyone and sent them out.
Wait, which one was she? That trashy-looking one.
They all looked trashy.
All those girls.
Yeah, they are trashy.
And it's trashy to take a photo of the girl that your old boyfriend is dating when that girl's kissing her old boyfriend.
Sit down.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I missed a phone call when I was letting you in! Sorry.
It's him! It's him! Oh, my God, it's not him.
It's his brother! It's Dante! (SCREAMS) So, you going to go out with his brother now that Omar won't go out with you? I don't know.
What's the right thing to do? What? No, seriously, what is the right thing to do? I don't know.
(PHONE CHIMES) He's here.
Quick! Give me an answer! Should I go out with the brother, or should I tell him the truth? (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Coming! Tell him the truth.
Hey.
Hey.
Come in.
All right.
Hey, I'm just gonna be back there.
I didn't know you were dropping by, but it's really nice to see you again.
What about you? Is it really good for you to see me again? (HESITANTLY) Yeah.
It, um, is really good for me to see you again, but I have to tell you something.
Have you been home yet? No, I mean, I picked up all your messages on the way back from the airport, then I came straight here.
Look, I'm sorry, okay.
Look, I should've told you that I was leaving the country.
I went out with your brother while you were gone, but now he hates me but I still care about him.
+ It was just a temporary solution, my staying here.
Well, you can have it.
I'm leaving.
I don't live here anymore.
Ashley, Nora can stay in my room.
I really don't live here anymore.
No, your room seems to have a curse on it or something.
How can you say that? All my dreams just came true.
Oh, you always dreamed of having a baby in high school? And then having to marry the baby's father? Well, I guess dreams do come true.
Well, um Okay, I'll just be somewhere else.
We haven't missed you, you know.
Not one minute.
You think you're better than everyone else.
But I am better than a lot of people.
You, for example.
I thought that maybe your trip would teach you something.
Well, even if it didn't, I'd still be smarter than you.
(SCOFFS) It's too late for you to leave.
It's never too late for me to leave.
And I already left.
I meant it's too late for you to be driving with our son.
I know what you meant.
Say goodnight to the people who laid that egg in there.
Good night.
Good night.
Good night, John.
It's just been a very emotional weekend.
Thank you for keeping John.
Good night.
Yeah, good night.
Good night.
See ya.
(SIGHS) Damn.
I lost my mojo.
Sweet girl, that Ashley.
I'll just be going.
Wait.
You don't have any place to go anand neither do I.
I know.
Rummy? I'll rummy you.
Sweet.
Thanks, Grace.
You know, telling the truth doesn't always work out.
I knew in my heart that the right thing to do is to lie.
I'm sorry.
I just want to get through summer school and start a new life.
I wish I was going to summer school and then off to college, and then start a new life instead of going to the same stupid med camp.
What if you don't go to med camp? 'Cause I have a great idea.
What if you go to summer school with me? What? Why would I go to summer school? Why not? You could take a couple of courses and get ahead, and have a really easy senior year, maybe improve your grade point average.
My grade point average is pretty darn good.
Is pretty darn good going to get you into med school? Well, to tell you the truth, I really don't want to spend another summer in med camp.
I mean, another summer of unair-conditioned dorm rooms, and bad food, and sneaking around trying to Oh, that's right, I won't be sneaking around trying to see Grant.
I don't want to see Grant.
I would be seeing a lot of Grant.
Maybe you're onto something.
Maybe I should ask my mom.
Do it! Ask her.
Oh, you know what else you should do? Ask her if you can live with me this summer! We can keep each other out of trouble.
And I have an extra bedroom.
n You can have Ben's room.
! I don't think she's gonna let me live with you.
Okay, what if I asked her? What if I just explain how I really need a friend right now, a friend, instead of turning to guys, just random guys Guys like Henry.
I wouldn't bring that up.
I know, I know, I was just thinking out loud.
I mean, Henry? (GROANS) I can't believe I did that! Yeah, I should just concentrate on school this summer, and just forget about guys.
Just for the summer.
Just clear my palate.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Me, too.
I just need to take the summer off from guys and think about myself and do what I want to do and focus on school.
Maybe we can convince my mom that's what we're really going to do.
That is what we're really going to do.
Really? You think the two of us can really do th? I think the two of us can do anything.
If your mom lets you stay here.
I just can't do it on my own.
Everything that's happened to me this year has made me too weak.
I need Grace.
I need my best friend to live with me.
The two of us need each other, and together, we can do anything, including staying away from guys.
Mmm-hmm.
Please, Mom, please, please.
You know, Adrian, Jack is moving out, so maybe you two girls could live here, and I can help you stay on track.
Or I bet if you just move home, your mom can help you focus on school.
It doesn't work living here, Mom.
You see what's happened to me.
I just end up going out with guys to get away from being here.
Please, please.
You have to let me grow up eventually.
I'm going away to college in a year.
Okay, if I don't do what I say I'm gonna do, we don't do what we're saying we're gonna do, which is to focus on school and not go out with any guys, I swear to you, I swear, I will stay at home to go to college.
For the first year.
Please, Mom.
Please, please.
Please.
Please.
Well, I think that's an excellent idea.
What's an excellent idea? That we go home now? I think that's an excellent idea.
No, Amy was telling me that she's, uh Thinking about going to summer school.
What? Why would you do that? Because she coutd, you know, get some courses out of the way, and then focus on some other things.
Like wedding plans, even.
Maybe.
What? There's nothing wrong with her going to summer school.
Mom, she's just going to summer school 'cause Lauren is going to summer school, 'cause she and Madison decided to go to summer school because their parents were making them either get a job or go to summer school.
And now, Lauren is not speaking to Madison, so apparently, now Amy is going just to support Lauren.
You think I can't hear you on the phone when you're in the car with me? It doesn't matter why I'm going.
It would be good for me.
Yeah.
And you know who else it would be good for? No.
Ethan.
Ethan? Ethan's in juvie for the summer.
Well Oh, no.
They have a little issue with overcrowding, so we're getting him early.
But he's going to continue doing his community service work on the weekends, but I want him in summer school as well.
You just got Nora out of here after just getting me out of here, after just getting a dozen other kids out of here.
I know.
That's why I have the room and the time to bring Ethan in.
He stole from you.
You stole from me.
You stole things, too.
Yeah, like food, maybe.
(SIGHS) What? He is way worse than I was.
He is.
I like a challenge.
And so does Amy.
And if Ethan is in summer school, I'm sure Amy wouldn't mind keeping an eye on him, would you, Amy? Uh, no.
No, of course not.
I'm gonna go visit with John and Shakur.
Let the two of you talk.
You really want to go to summer school? 'Cause you don't have to go to summer school, and you don't have to plan a wedding.
You're absolutely right.
You shouldn't be in any rush, and you should take your time and plan the wedding for whenever you want.
It's your wedding.
Well, it's our wedding.
Not really.
But I promise to show up.
And you can decide everything, I'll go along with anything you want, even the date.
Well, I was thinking maybe June? All right.
Sorry, we were sitting in front of your house.
We just didn't expect you to drive up, you know.
We LoJacked her.
And all her friends.
We always know where she is.
I understand.
If I had a daughter, I'd be protective of her, too.
Yeah, it's just This is her first boyfriend.
And she's our only daughter, and, well She told us about Ben's life It's not as bad as it sounds.
He's a good kid, Ben.
They're probably all just off at the Movies.
Do I smell pot? Do you? Does he? Yeah, I think he does.
Dylan, what's going on here? Uh My, uh My fault.
Someone gave me something at the party last night, I just suggested Yeah, he did.
You're Dylan's Yes.
Yeah.
Hi, King.
