The Secret Life of the American Teenager s05e09 Episode Script
Property Not For Sale
GRACE: Previously on The Secret Life of the American Teenager Amy, Clementine is a friend.
She's just a friend, a friend from my past.
I was fine until she showed up and reminded me that you're at college with a bunch of good looking women.
I wish I was the father.
You don't want to be responsible for my having a baby at 15.
What if I went out with Henry, just to make my parents happy, and then Henry and I could break up when you and I can see each other again.
What! He cheated.
KATHLEEN: Jack? After I talked to him and his dad talked to him? You need to have enough self-respect to break up with him.
JACK: I've been trying to get back with you for years.
And if all it takes for you to take me seriously is that I go back to church and try to be a better person, that's what I'm going to do.
Ben's still pining for you? Yeah.
I'm trying to smooth things over with you here, so So what? Nothing has changed.
I'm still standing here getting a lecture and I still can't go out with Dylan.
I wanted to rush off and get married because I just thought that I might be gay.
They're late, I can't believe they're late.
They've never been late before.
It's not a good sign.
What do you mean? I mean, people who are late are totally selfish and have no regard for anyone else, that's what I mean.
They should have more respect for you.
It wasn't easy to find a couple that I liked, all right? And do not get all judgmental because I'm sure, like everyone else, they have their flaws, I just don't want to hear about them.
It was just an observation.
People who are late don't respect other people.
And her.
Well, who asked you to? I can look out for myself.
Kathy! Hi sweetie! We must have missed you coming in! And I don't know who you are, young man, but you are absolutely right.
People who keep people waiting have no respect for other people.
But just for the record, we were on time.
Hi, I'm Jonathan, this is my wife, Sonya.
So nice to meet you.
Hi.
That's the idiot I told you about.
Ethan.
Hi.
And eavesdropping is not cool either.
Uh, do you mind if we sit down? Oh.
No, Kathy, please don't get up.
Stay right there.
So why can't you guys have kids? (THUD) Ow! And why can't you have manners? He's a troubled youth.
I'm not that troubled, I'm just looking out for her.
Oh.
And our infertility would concern you how? Maybe you're not meant to have kids.
Oh, God! No, it's a fair question.
That's good.
I'm glad you feel that way, dear, because about to punch this guy.
We carry the gene for Tay-Sachs, so we decided to adopt.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
I don't know what that isbut it doesn't sound od.
No, it's not.
You have any more questions? No, he doesn't.
Are you religious people? I thought you weren't concerned about that.
Um Jonathan's Jewish, I'm Catholic.
We always just check "none" on any questions about religion, but we are very spiritual people.
(TEXTING) You don't have to answer his questions, okay? He's just a kid.
He's got absolutely nothing to do with this.
Does he, Kathy? Definitely not.
Are you financially stable? Yep, I am.
And you know what? I'll give you a hundred bucks to shut up.
Why? You hiding something? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) Hey Ricky, we've got a problem.
Why's that? Kathy wants you to go get Ethan.
Did she specifically say me? Because she texted you.
I'm already dressed for bed.
Yeah, but it's 7:00.
So? What's he doing that I have to pick him up? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) I don't know.
(CHUCKLES) But now everything is in caps.
(READING MESSAGE) Oh, geez.
All right.
Why not? It's not like I have anything to do.
'Cause, you know, college is so much easier than high school, I don't even have to study.
And I can cook and clean up and put John to bed, and hold down a job, no problem.
He's like your brother or something.
I took those two over there, and he's supposed to have a ride home with the couple adopting the baby.
I have my first English lit paper due in two days and I want to finish it tonight so I can go over it again before I turn it in.
Just go get him, okay? Then you'll have the rest of the night to do your paper.
Bye.
Okay, what do you mean, "if I get transferred"? (CHUCKLES) Like we wouldn't take the baby with us? You don't have to get sarcastic, it's a valid question.
Ethan, we're going to be good parents.
We love this baby.
Do you? Shut up.
Okay, you know what? This is not a healthy relationship for you.
Okay? Or for us.
You don't know anything about our relationship.
I know you feel very protective of Kathy and you're just asking us these questions out of concern for her, and out of love for her.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ethan is my boyfriend.
Boy friend.
Friend.
And you're my girlfriend.
And that's why I'm here.
Look, that's precious cargo in that belly.
I'm just making sure it gets to the right port.
(THUD) Ow! That was me.
(CLEARS THROAT) That's our daughter you're talking about.
Yeah, why don't you just quit talking? (SPEAKING SPANISH) (SPEAKING SPANISH) Mmm.
What? 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 This is why Mom said you shouldn't meet these people.
You don't know when to keep your mouth shut.
Good thing I didn't.
If these people can't handle a few simple questions, they shouldn't be adopting a baby.
It's none of your business.
I'm sure Kathy and her grandmother all put a lot of thought just the right coupleng and then you went and screwed it all up.
I didn't screw it all up, they did.
No! You did! into a big argument.
Now the adoption could be in jeopardy.
Then maybe she'll just She'd be a great mother.
Ethan, she doesn't want to be a mother at 15.
She wants the than what she can provide.
What are you thinking, a dad at 15?ld be (SCOFFS) You were.
Geez.
You are not the father.
were the father, I think Kathy baby to be adoptedhe because the two of you mature enough to be parents.
And I was 16 more mature than you.
Blah, blah, blah.
what I'm capable of, you don't know Kathy, you don't know anything.
Yeah, I do.
I know a lot.
And I know if I had it all to do over again, I never would have Go on.
You have to fix this.
You have to apologize to everyone.
And don't even offer an excuse because there is no excuse.
This is a very serious matter, this is the life of a child.
Exactly.
Ethan, this is also about Kathy.
And Kathy's life.
And Kathy's choices.
You have to have respect for her.
I think Mom already had this conversation with you, and maybe you couldn't hear her, but listen to me.
Back the freak off.
We don't have to go all the way.
I'll settle for halfway.
to go all the way.
It's so hot, not having sex.
Yeah.
Kind of.
Hey, guys! you to get home.
r Mom made some brownies.
Oh.
Thank you, Tom, you can just leave them on the table.
Yeah, thanks Tom.
The table's fine.
What is wrong with you? Why are you both out of breath? Uh We've been running.
We've been running.
Yeah, running, and now we need to rest.
Mind if I join you? Uh, I just have a few minutes, buddy, and I need while we're, um, resting.
Yeah, he needs to talk to me.
Private talk, so Goodnight.
Yeah, yeah.
You cannot spend the night.
We're not gonna do anything.
Hey, let's take another look at that book.
No, that's enough reading for one night.
I don't know whose book that is anyway.
It's not a very nice book.
No, it isn't.
Let me stay over.
Just sleep over.
Oh come on, we're going to sleep together and not do anything? Yeah.
I don't think so.
(DOOR OPENS) TOM: Oh brother.
I'm gone two minutes.
Look at you! Get a room, will you? Goodnight, George.
Goodnight, Kathleen.
Call me.
I will.
I'll call you and say goodnight.
Okay.
Mmm.
Let me know when you want more.
(LAUGHS) You are so juvenile.
Yeah, but you knew that when you got into this relationship.
Mmm-hmm.
Well, I can't wait.
You don't have to.
Get out of here.
Goodnight.
I left my book.
What book is that? Just my book.
That's your book? Fifty Spices? Yes.
Tom, where did you get a book like that? I fired someone for reading that book at work.
And then you kept it? I kept it, but I didn't read it at work.
I read it on the bus.
(SIGHS) Well, I threw it away.
No you didn't.
It's right there on the counter.
Tom, I don't think you should be reading books like that.
Why not? I don't have a girlfriend.
A dirty book is not a substitute for a girlfriend.
It's not dirty, it's sexy.
Uh, no, it's really not.
Tom, for people who haven't had sex before and are young, like yourself, books like that create ridiculous expectations about women.
And those kind of books, honey, are very disrespectful to women.
Believe me, I'm getting a new respect for women.
I had no idea women would let you do things like that.
They won't.
Oh, they will.
It's right there in that book.
What? I think we should throw that book away.
It's not our book, it's my book.
(EXHALES) That was, uh That was frustrating.
But it was fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was fun.
Wasn't it? Yeah.
Yeah.
I love being back with you, being a couple again.
Yeah, it's great.
It's really great.
You're going to be late.
Oh, I know.
I have to go.
(SIGHS) I wish you could spend the night.
I don't think I could make it through the night.
All right, well, maybe some other time.
Like maybe after a game when you're really, really tired.
I don't know, Grace, I don't think I'm ever gonna be too tired.
(CHUCKLES) Me neither.
Oh, right.
Uh, I'm gonna go.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(SIGHS) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Where are you? I'm waiting for Ethan.
He's talking to Kathy's grandmother.
Kathy's not speaking to him.
I'm not surprised.
I still have to finish my paper tonight.
Or you could just get up early.
I think it's better if I stay up all night at the library, go to my classes then come home and crash.
I'm going to ask Bunny if that's okay, if I can take the afternoon off.
Bunny? Yeah.
You're going to ask Bunny if that's okay? Is there something wrong with that? Yeah, you weren't asking me if that's okay with me.
And it's not okay with me.
I don't feel comfortable with your staying out all night.
Amy, you're going to have to trust me.
I don't have to do anything.
Anything like what? (DISCONNECTS) (SIGHS) + Just this.
Cash, huh? I don't have any change.
Can you wait while I run up to the coffee shop? Yeah, I guess.
Little credit problem? Hmm? Lots of people pay with cash if they have bad credit.
Bad credit? No.
I have good credit.
I have excellent credit.
I just like to pay for things in cash so there are no surprises at the end of the month.
But that's none of your business.
Sorry, I was just going to offer to help you out.
Oh.
Well, I don't need your help.
I get it.
Sorry.
I run my own business, I was just thinking like an employer.
I'm always thinking that way, about jobs and money, who needs a job, who needs money.
I don't need a job or money.
All right, well, if you ever do need to earn a little extra cash I may have something for you.
Or we could just go out and get to know each other a little better.
You look like a smart girl, and you're beautiful.
I don't need a job and I don't want to go out with you.
Go away.
Hard to get, huh? I'm coming, sorry.
Yeah, look, you left me standing out there with some creepy guy.
What kind of guy do you find creepy? I'm just curious.
A guy who was offering me a job and trying to hit on me at the same time.
What kind of job? He didn't say.
Are you okay? Did he scare you? No.
Yeah.
I got a bad feeling from him.
Is he still down there? I don't know.
Come on, I'll go with you, I want to see him.
Call the campus police and tell them to walk over here.
Hey, I thought you were asked not to hang out in here.
What? What'd I do? I'm just picking up a book for my girlfriend.
Don't you mean some props for your girlfriends? Get out.
Okay, what are you talking about? Who is that? A pimp.
I suspect.
Wait, a what? A guy who sells women to guys.
He thought he was going to sell me to guys? I'm going to No, you're not going to do anything.
Just leave it to the campus cops.
That guy, other guys like him, show up around campus every once in a while.
They usually prey on freshmen, guys who just want to get laid or girls who are desperate and can barely get by on their loans or whatever.
Hey Bubba, we had an unwanted visitor.
What variety? Pimp.
I think he was in here last year, I'm pretty sure.
Either of you get a picture? No.
No.
Alright, I'll take a look at the security tape.
You know, I think I might just stick around and have a cup of coffee.
Yeah, do that.
But we're closing in another hour and Bubba will walk you to your car.
Thanks.
And what about you? I live on campus.
He'll walk me to my dorm or I'll call a friend.
All right.
And good for you for paying attention to your gut feelings about that guy.
Yeah.
I knew you'd be here.
I'm expected here.
I don't think Dylan is expecting you.
What, are you following me now? I might be.
Well go home before I call your daddy.
Go ahead, call my dad.
I don't care.
Because nothing is going to keep me from seeing Dylan.
Except for maybe me.
Hello.
What are you doing here? Can't a guy stop by and say hi to his girlfriend? Uh, she's not your girlfriend.
Uh, she's not your girlfriend.
I'm nobody's girlfriend, but my parents got delayed getting here and it's getting late and they asked if Henry wanted to come over and just stay with me until they got here.
So, goodnight, Ben.
What? Cecilia and Robert trust me.
Because unlike you, I'm trustworthy.
And I don't have any secrets or lies that I'm keeping.
Well, of course not, everyone knows you slept with Adrian.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, and no one knows that you slept with Alice while you were leading Dylan on.
Uh, excuse me? You slept with Alice while we were dating? It was an accident.
And it's very complicated.
And how the hell did you find that out? How do you think? Alice.
Let me just lock up and we'll grab Bubba and go.
Hey, am I too late? What are you doing here, Adrian? Oh, sorry.
Am I in your way? Did you need to speak to Clementine alone? I just wanted to get some coffee.
I'm going to try to pull my first all-nighter at the library.
You ready, Miss Adrian? Yeah, I'm ready.
Is he bothering you? No, he's not bothering me, but come back in five minutes, all right? You got it.
What the hell is going on? Oh, this creep hassled Adrian before.
What kind of creep? Some pimp on a recruiting mission.
What? It's a college campus.
They know who their market is and they know young girls are vulnerable away from home for the first time and a lot of college girls need money, so they prey on them.
Did they arrest the guy? He didn't really do anything.
They just chased him away and they'll keep an eye out for him.
Well, you're not walking back to your dorm alone.
Bubba will walk me.
I can walk you.
No, you go to the library.
I don't want you to have to tell Amy that you walked me to my dorm.
I like Amy.
I want Amy to like me.
Bubba will take me over, he does that a lot of nights anyway.
I don't want to walk around campus late at night by myself.
Then I'll walk you with Bubba.
Not necessary.
+ Thank you for finally picking up the phone.
I'm picking it u up to tell you to never call me again.
Never? Never.
But I was only looking out for your best interest, for the baby's best interest.
Uh, no.
You were being a jerk, and you have no regard for me or my baby or for my baby's parents.
So do not call me again and do not try to talk to me at school or get to me by talking to my grandmother.
I wouldn't have talked to your grandmother if you had talked to me.
I don't want to talk to you! I'm really, really angry with you and You know what? I don't think it's good for the baby for me to be angry with anyone! (DOOR CLOSES) (DRAWER OPENS AND CLOSES) So I'm at the clinic, as I told you I would be, and Ricky calls to tell me he took you home but I didn't know you left and neither did Shakur since apparently he'd left on an emergency call.
So you decided to go and meet the adoptive couple when I told you that was not allowed? You ruined my night, Kathy's night, the adoptive couples' night, Kathy's grandmother's night, Ricky's night and possibly the baby's life.
The baby's life? What if the couple backs out because of you? They're not going to back out, but I wish they would.
Look, I don't think they're going to make good parents.
I don't.
I have a sixth sense about these things.
I'm street smart.
I know when people are bad people.
These are bad people.
He's the mayor of a small town.
A small town that was voted the best small town in America.
Did your sixth sense tell you that? Did your sixth sense tell you that Jonathan has multiple advanced degrees and has won awards for developing environmentally safe products? Did your sixth sense tell you that the wife, Sonya, operates a day care for free for people that can't afford day care? You don't have a sixth sense.
You don't even have any common sense.
No one told me that stuff.
And if Jonathan had allowed me to keep asking questions, I'm sure I would have found that out.
Sit down.
(SIGHS) I told you this is not your decision.
It is not your decision who adopts the baby or if the baby is adopted.
That's Kathy's decision.
You don't get toto decide that because you're her boyfriend.
And I doubt that you are her boyfriend anymore.
And you want to know why, Ethan? You have no respect for her and you have no respect for me, because you didn't listen to either of us.
And if you ever want to have a decent relationship with a girl, then you need to start by having a decent relationship with your mother.
For now, that would be me.
You need too quit sneaking around and ignoring what I tell you to do.
And show some respect.
It's all about respect.
I respect you.
I'm afraid of you, anyway.
You're not that afraid of me because you slipped out to meet these people tonight when I told you not to do that.
Kathy wanted me there.
Okay, I wanted to be there.
For her.
And I asked her if I could go.
Because you didn't get your way last week.
Because you can't live with "no.
" Learn to live with "no.
" You're going to be hearing "no.
" From me and from other women in your life.
So now hear this.
No, you may not have your phone back.
No, you may not approach Kathy at school or anywhere else.
No, you may not go anywhere near that couple, not even to apologize.
And no, you may not stay up till all hours of the night trying to figure out how to get me to change my mind.
Go to bed.
But No! What, were you jealous that I'm dating Dylan? Jealous that you were dating Dylan? No.
But now I'm jealous that Henry's dating Dylan.
And the night I was with you, I was still jealous and angry that Henry had slept with Adrian.
Oh, come on, you were not that angry.
What we did was not revenge sex.
It was stupid, careless sex between friends on a crazy night when neither of us were thinking about anything other than my going to jail.
You were thinking about that.
I never believed that, that you would go to jail.
And Sorry.
I wanted to get back at Henry and then I felt guilty about it, really guilty, because it was wrong.
I just have to accept that Henry doesn't love me, and you have to accept that Amy doesn't love you.
She does love me.
She had to marry Ricky, just like I had to marry Adrian.
It's totally unfair.
You need to go back to Dr.
Fields.
And you need a friend.
Two friends even.
We've got to apologize to Henry, make it right somehow.
What, and just give Dylan to him? What? She's not property.
Well, I know that, but I still don't want him to have her.
Even though you'd give her up in a second for Amy Juergens.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Goodnight, Jack.
JACK: Goodnight, Grace.
Are you going to sleep? I'm not ready for bed yet, I'm wide awake.
You better get some sleep, you have practice tomorrow.
I don't think I can sleep, I'm still thinking about you.
Aw! That's so nice.
I'm still thinking about you, too.
I'm still thinking about having sex with you.
Oh.
Well, you should stop thinking about that, 'cause it's just going to make you more frustrated.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
Now, I have to get some sleep.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you.
Don't say it like that.
It's just (SIGHS) Forget it.
Oh, come on, it's fun not having sex.
It's the anticipation of it that's so exciting.
Anticipation may not be my strong suit.
Don't do anything stupid, Jack, all right? Just because I forgave you for sleeping with Clementine doesn't mean I'd forgive you if you did it again.
I'm not going to do anything stupid.
Good.
Yeah, all right.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hey, buddy, you're missing out.
The girls are here.
They're walking the halls.
What girls? Party girls.
There's a party? If you've got the money.
Uh, I don't think so.
+ Yeah.
I think he was.
Did you get a picture of him? I didn't even understand what he was doing until Clementine explained it to me.
I just I knew something was wrong.
Anyway, he took off and then the campus police came and I hung around with Clementine for a little, and then a campus cop walked me to my car.
I couldn't shake the creepy feeling.
(SIGHS) Geez, Adrian.
Do you have any idea how dangerous pimps are? It's never just sex involved, it's drugs, violence and all kinds of other crimes.
And yeah, that stuff does exist on campus.
I'm surprised you're so naive.
Hey, don't insult me! Well, what were you doing talking to this guy? He was at the bookstore! Quit trying to make this my fault! I did nothing wrong! No.
No, you didn't.
I don't know where that came from, I just got angry.
I just want to kill these guys.
The buyers or the sellers? Because if no one was buying, there would be nothing to sell.
Come here.
I'm staying over.
All right.
I think we should start thinking about living together.
I can't live with you because I'm afraid to live alone.
Can you live with me because you love me and I love you? Omar, (SIGHS) look, I've got a long way to go, I want to finish school.
You can't live with me and finish school? Come on, it's not something we need to figure out tonight.
(WHIMPERING) (GEORGE CHUCKLES) Chew your food.
Then you can taste it.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) You're just now going to bed? (SIGHS) Yeah.
Did I wake you up? No.
I was watching the game.
What have you been doing? Talking to Tom about that book.
It's his.
(SNICKERS) Tom's? Yeah.
And now he's filled with a bunch of really, really bad ideas about sex, and about women.
I'll straighten him out.
Well, I don't know if you're any better.
Me? I'm not into that stuff, I've got two daughters.
You were reading the book.
I thought you just left it on the counter as a starter.
No.
I thought it was a cookbook till you started reading it aloud.
All right, well, I'll talk to him.
The bigger problem is Tom needs friends.
You know what? He needs someone to be his friend.
You sound like you're feeling sorry for him.
(SIGHS) I am.
Don't feel sorry for Tom, he's a happy guy.
He's got a lot on the ball, he'll find someone.
Yeah, until then I just don't want him substituting porn for a relationship.
You know, that was pretty tame stuff he's reading, I think he'll be okay.
If he starts looking depressed or obsessing over those kind of books, then you worry.
And obviously, he doesn't see anything wrong with that book or he wouldn't have just left it in the kitchen.
He's not hiding anything.
Well, I don't know why people read those books.
Hey, sex sells.
Each to his own.
(SIGHS) People should just quit buying that stuff.
I don't buy that stuff.
But I have a girlfriend.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Busy.
Would you like some company? Uh, no.
Thank you.
Oh, come on, I've just got to make 50 bucks and then I'm done for the night.
Fifty bucks? I don't have 50 bucks.
And I'm not interested.
What, you got a girlfriend or something? Yeah.
And no offense, but I don't want to get caught with you in my room, you got to leave.
I'm not leaving.
I need 50 bucks.
You have to leave and I don't have 50 bucks.
If I scream, how much can you come up with? Don't scream, I'll see what I have.
You're not a very nice person.
Just trying to survive.
If I don't come back with my quota, I get the crap beat out of me.
By who? Who do you think? My pimp? There's a quota? Uh, yeah.
It's a business.
If I don't come back with so much cash every night, I get the crap beat out of me, so hurry it up, will you? I thought girls just did this to make a little extra dough.
(LAUGHS) Freshman, right? Yeah, I'm a freshman.
You work for a pimp? All hookers work for pimps.
You think any woman sells herself? I thought so, yeah.
Well, wake up.
This is how it goes.
These guys trick girls into going on dates with them, then they throw you in a van at some point, beat the crap out of you, do all kinds of horrible things to you.
Then they set you loose on the street, and you don't come back with the money, then, again, they beat the crap out of you.
Listen, I'm running out of time, so Is that what happened to you? I wasn't exactly on a date.
I met a guy online playing a game.
We liked the same game.
I told him where I lived.
He parked around the corner from my house, told me to sneak out and meet him.
I did.
He took off with me.
How old are you? Twenty-one.
No, you're not.
How old do you think I am? Sixteen maybe.
Good guess.
Come on.
I got to go.
Why don't you just stay and we'll call the police, all right? You really are naive, aren't you? You call the police and he'll kill me.
He'll get off and I'll be dead.
+ Morning.
I went to class, there was a sign on the door, it was canceled, I'm going to sleep until the afternoon class.
Where have you been? You know where I've been.
I've been in the library all night.
You sure? You sure you weren't with Jack? (CHUCKLES) Um, no.
I was not with Jack.
Why would I be with Jack? You know why you would be with Jack.
Amy, I'm really tired.
From what? From this conversation and from staying up all night to write my paper.
I wrote my paper.
I'm really happy with it, but I'm not happy coming home to this.
I didn't know there were hookers on your campus.
Hmm? Oh, don't act like you don't know.
No, I do know.
I saw Clementine last night and Aha! So it wasn't a prostitute, you were with her! No, I was not with her.
I got coffee before I went to the library, I texted you.
And then what happened? A hooker came in for coffee? (CHUCKLES) What? No.
But Some g had been in the bookstore earlier and he scared Adrian.
And Clementine recognized him from something that happened last year.
Apparently he's a pimp or something so the campus police walked Adrian to her car and walked Clementine to her dorm.
You didn't put any of that in your text.
Did you also walk Clementine to her dorm? Yes.
Why didn't you tell me that? Ricky, we've had sex practically every day, isn't that enough for you? Amy, of course it is.
There's nothing wrong with our relationship, other than you're a little nuts.
Well, I can't help it.
You shouldn't keep things from me.
I was going to tell you about walking her over, the cop was with us the whole time, but if I had told you that last night, you'd think I stayed with her or something.
Did you kiss her? No.
I did not kiss her.
And I am not going to kiss her.
Where is all this coming from? What? (SPITS) (GASPS) What? Oh.
Mmm-mmm.
Oh, ease tell me Ben is not involved in this somehow.
Let me see that.
When I'm done with it.
Jack? Jack is a Christian again? (SCOFFS) I don't know, but it's a good spin.
Wow.
"Wow" what? Fifteen-year-old-girl nabbed by some guy, turned into a prostitute.
She's been away from her family for two years.
So she liked it? Liked it? Are you that naive? Well, if she didn't like it, why didn't she just go home? Oy vey.
Because her pimp would beat her up or kill her.
What girl would like being a hooker? Uh And don't say Betty.
Betty was brutalized.
I had no idea.
That's the story of your life.
You really do have no idea.
You have no idea of the indignities and humiliation and intimidation and disrespect that women suffer because they're objectified by men.
How did you ever get the attitude that it was okay to have sex with women you don't really care about, because, on some level, that's like treating a woman as if she's property.
You did not get that attitude from me.
I haven't even had breakfast.
Well, have some breakfast and think about it.
And then go apologize to Alice and then go apologize to Amy.
Because, somehow, you seem to think because you were nice to her while she was pregnant, because you even fell in love with her while she was pregnant, that she belongs to you.
And she doesn't.
Okay.
Good morning, Tom.
Good morning.
I guess it's official.
Jack is a Christian again.
What are you talking about? (GROANS IN FRUSTRATION) Jack! I didn't do anything.
Some pimp sent some prostitutes into the athletic dorm.
When the cop came, I told him to help this girl.
She was terrified she was going to get killed.
By you? What? No.
And I swear, I didn't do anything.
I was going to give her some money because she's required to earn a certain amount of money or the guy would beat her up.
She's 15, Grace, she's a kid.
Oh.
Look, you can read the police report in the paper.
I didn't do anything, other than learn what idiots people are when it comes to this stuff.
Myself included.
All right, well, don't believe me.
I've been up all night and I got to go to practice.
(DISCONNECTS) They make it sound like it's fun.
All right.
Come on, bud.
Hey, we have to go.
All right.
Well, I don't want to leave when I know you're upset with me.
I think you're the one who's upset with me.
Well, I was upse I didn't want you to be gone all night.
I didn't sleep well.
And I hate myself when I don't trust you.
You're the best husband in the world.
I'm not your husband.
Yeah.
We have to do .
We are going to be doing something about it.
Yeah, and soon.
My mom got home last night.
All right, well, let's get the wedding going.
I think we're cracking under the pressure.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Sorry.
I love you, Amy.
I love you.
Bye.
Iave to go.
Bye.
+ Waiting for me? Why, yes, I was.
Should we go find Henry? I want to talk to you first.
Oh? I apologize, Alice.
I apologize for taking advantage of you as a friend.
And as a woman.
Okay.
I never should have suggested that we do what we did.
I don't know how much talking was involved.
Then we really should have talked about it.
I'm an ass.
You are, but you're my friend, and I was an equal participant for all the wrong reasons.
So, still best friends? If you'll have me.
Well, well, well, if it's not the two secret lovers.
Okay, we deserve that, Henry.
We really do.
And I apologize for what happened, and I apologize for not telling you and for making it look as if I was avoiding you because you slept with Adrian.
What are you up to? He's up to, "the sooner we all get over our mistakes, the better.
" Uh-huh.
And if you want to go out with Dylan, then all I have to say is may the best man win.
Oh? You think Dylan would ever go out with you now that she knows about you sleeping with Alice while you were going out with her? You told her? I wasn't going to, I didn't on our first date.
I was going to take the high road.
And then you didn't.
But then I didn't.
So game on.
Excuse me, do you not get what objectifying women means? Hey, how are you this morning? Oh, I didn't have a good night.
Did you see this morning's paper? Yes.
So there are prostitutes on campus.
So what? Ricky's not interested in them.
No, I'm sure he's not.
Are you being a smart ass? No, no.
I meant that.
I'm sure that Ricky is happy being married to you.
Why is that? Why are you so sure? And why is it any of your business? Okay, look.
This isn't going the way I hoped.
Um I just wanted to say that Amy, I'm sorry about the way I've acted.
I should have let go of the fantasy of ever being with you years ago, and, uh, now I really have to because I'm wrecking my entire life.
All right.
But, um Maybe in another life.
Ben.
All right, never.
I just meant that I apologize for this notion I've had that you should have belonged to me.
You belong to Ricky.
Well, I don't belong to anyone.
I'm married to Ricky.
That's what I meant.
Belong was the wrong word.
Yeah, wrong word.
So it really is over.
It's been over for quite a while.
I know.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Look, let's not make this weird or anything, I'm still your friend, you're still my friend.
No, let's not do that.
I can't do that.
Let's not be friends, not for a while.
Not for years even.
Okay.
Whatever you need to do, because, Ben, you're, like, a really nice guy and if caring about me wrecked your life, then I'm really sorry.
So, Ben.
Henry and I had a very nice time last night and if you would like to counter by asking me out, you may do so.
Would you like to go out? I am free from any former entanglements that may have kept me from giving our relationship the attention I should have.
My parents still won't let me.
Otherwise, the answer would have been yes.
(CHUCKLES) Did you get kicked off the team? No, I didn't, but any of the guys that participated in any way got suspended or kicked off the team.
The ones that participated on a level that got them arrested, got kicked off the team.
But you're not suspended or anything, right? What are you doing here? The word "Christian" in the headline is causing too much attention to me on the field, so the coach told me to take off and talk to you.
Oh.
Well, I like that coach.
I do, too.
And I like you.
Why's that? Because you care about me, and you care about doing the right thing, and people that care about doing the right thing, respect themselves and respect other people.
So I want to apologize for being a jerk, for sleeping with other women, for trying to push you to do something you didn't want to do, and I'm going to be a better man.
So, you're not speaking to me? I didn't think you were speaking to me.
I looked at you, I know you saw me look at you.
You told me not to speak to you at school, and I respect what you say.
Since when? Since my mother pointed out what a jerk I am.
Yeah.
You are.
But sometimes I don't like that couple either.
I just have to suck it up, 'cause they're really going to be good parents.
They're just so perfect.
Yeah, I Googled them.
They're saints.
She's just a friend, a friend from my past.
I was fine until she showed up and reminded me that you're at college with a bunch of good looking women.
I wish I was the father.
You don't want to be responsible for my having a baby at 15.
What if I went out with Henry, just to make my parents happy, and then Henry and I could break up when you and I can see each other again.
What! He cheated.
KATHLEEN: Jack? After I talked to him and his dad talked to him? You need to have enough self-respect to break up with him.
JACK: I've been trying to get back with you for years.
And if all it takes for you to take me seriously is that I go back to church and try to be a better person, that's what I'm going to do.
Ben's still pining for you? Yeah.
I'm trying to smooth things over with you here, so So what? Nothing has changed.
I'm still standing here getting a lecture and I still can't go out with Dylan.
I wanted to rush off and get married because I just thought that I might be gay.
They're late, I can't believe they're late.
They've never been late before.
It's not a good sign.
What do you mean? I mean, people who are late are totally selfish and have no regard for anyone else, that's what I mean.
They should have more respect for you.
It wasn't easy to find a couple that I liked, all right? And do not get all judgmental because I'm sure, like everyone else, they have their flaws, I just don't want to hear about them.
It was just an observation.
People who are late don't respect other people.
And her.
Well, who asked you to? I can look out for myself.
Kathy! Hi sweetie! We must have missed you coming in! And I don't know who you are, young man, but you are absolutely right.
People who keep people waiting have no respect for other people.
But just for the record, we were on time.
Hi, I'm Jonathan, this is my wife, Sonya.
So nice to meet you.
Hi.
That's the idiot I told you about.
Ethan.
Hi.
And eavesdropping is not cool either.
Uh, do you mind if we sit down? Oh.
No, Kathy, please don't get up.
Stay right there.
So why can't you guys have kids? (THUD) Ow! And why can't you have manners? He's a troubled youth.
I'm not that troubled, I'm just looking out for her.
Oh.
And our infertility would concern you how? Maybe you're not meant to have kids.
Oh, God! No, it's a fair question.
That's good.
I'm glad you feel that way, dear, because about to punch this guy.
We carry the gene for Tay-Sachs, so we decided to adopt.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
I don't know what that isbut it doesn't sound od.
No, it's not.
You have any more questions? No, he doesn't.
Are you religious people? I thought you weren't concerned about that.
Um Jonathan's Jewish, I'm Catholic.
We always just check "none" on any questions about religion, but we are very spiritual people.
(TEXTING) You don't have to answer his questions, okay? He's just a kid.
He's got absolutely nothing to do with this.
Does he, Kathy? Definitely not.
Are you financially stable? Yep, I am.
And you know what? I'll give you a hundred bucks to shut up.
Why? You hiding something? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) Hey Ricky, we've got a problem.
Why's that? Kathy wants you to go get Ethan.
Did she specifically say me? Because she texted you.
I'm already dressed for bed.
Yeah, but it's 7:00.
So? What's he doing that I have to pick him up? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) I don't know.
(CHUCKLES) But now everything is in caps.
(READING MESSAGE) Oh, geez.
All right.
Why not? It's not like I have anything to do.
'Cause, you know, college is so much easier than high school, I don't even have to study.
And I can cook and clean up and put John to bed, and hold down a job, no problem.
He's like your brother or something.
I took those two over there, and he's supposed to have a ride home with the couple adopting the baby.
I have my first English lit paper due in two days and I want to finish it tonight so I can go over it again before I turn it in.
Just go get him, okay? Then you'll have the rest of the night to do your paper.
Bye.
Okay, what do you mean, "if I get transferred"? (CHUCKLES) Like we wouldn't take the baby with us? You don't have to get sarcastic, it's a valid question.
Ethan, we're going to be good parents.
We love this baby.
Do you? Shut up.
Okay, you know what? This is not a healthy relationship for you.
Okay? Or for us.
You don't know anything about our relationship.
I know you feel very protective of Kathy and you're just asking us these questions out of concern for her, and out of love for her.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ethan is my boyfriend.
Boy friend.
Friend.
And you're my girlfriend.
And that's why I'm here.
Look, that's precious cargo in that belly.
I'm just making sure it gets to the right port.
(THUD) Ow! That was me.
(CLEARS THROAT) That's our daughter you're talking about.
Yeah, why don't you just quit talking? (SPEAKING SPANISH) (SPEAKING SPANISH) Mmm.
What? 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 This is why Mom said you shouldn't meet these people.
You don't know when to keep your mouth shut.
Good thing I didn't.
If these people can't handle a few simple questions, they shouldn't be adopting a baby.
It's none of your business.
I'm sure Kathy and her grandmother all put a lot of thought just the right coupleng and then you went and screwed it all up.
I didn't screw it all up, they did.
No! You did! into a big argument.
Now the adoption could be in jeopardy.
Then maybe she'll just She'd be a great mother.
Ethan, she doesn't want to be a mother at 15.
She wants the than what she can provide.
What are you thinking, a dad at 15?ld be (SCOFFS) You were.
Geez.
You are not the father.
were the father, I think Kathy baby to be adoptedhe because the two of you mature enough to be parents.
And I was 16 more mature than you.
Blah, blah, blah.
what I'm capable of, you don't know Kathy, you don't know anything.
Yeah, I do.
I know a lot.
And I know if I had it all to do over again, I never would have Go on.
You have to fix this.
You have to apologize to everyone.
And don't even offer an excuse because there is no excuse.
This is a very serious matter, this is the life of a child.
Exactly.
Ethan, this is also about Kathy.
And Kathy's life.
And Kathy's choices.
You have to have respect for her.
I think Mom already had this conversation with you, and maybe you couldn't hear her, but listen to me.
Back the freak off.
We don't have to go all the way.
I'll settle for halfway.
to go all the way.
It's so hot, not having sex.
Yeah.
Kind of.
Hey, guys! you to get home.
r Mom made some brownies.
Oh.
Thank you, Tom, you can just leave them on the table.
Yeah, thanks Tom.
The table's fine.
What is wrong with you? Why are you both out of breath? Uh We've been running.
We've been running.
Yeah, running, and now we need to rest.
Mind if I join you? Uh, I just have a few minutes, buddy, and I need while we're, um, resting.
Yeah, he needs to talk to me.
Private talk, so Goodnight.
Yeah, yeah.
You cannot spend the night.
We're not gonna do anything.
Hey, let's take another look at that book.
No, that's enough reading for one night.
I don't know whose book that is anyway.
It's not a very nice book.
No, it isn't.
Let me stay over.
Just sleep over.
Oh come on, we're going to sleep together and not do anything? Yeah.
I don't think so.
(DOOR OPENS) TOM: Oh brother.
I'm gone two minutes.
Look at you! Get a room, will you? Goodnight, George.
Goodnight, Kathleen.
Call me.
I will.
I'll call you and say goodnight.
Okay.
Mmm.
Let me know when you want more.
(LAUGHS) You are so juvenile.
Yeah, but you knew that when you got into this relationship.
Mmm-hmm.
Well, I can't wait.
You don't have to.
Get out of here.
Goodnight.
I left my book.
What book is that? Just my book.
That's your book? Fifty Spices? Yes.
Tom, where did you get a book like that? I fired someone for reading that book at work.
And then you kept it? I kept it, but I didn't read it at work.
I read it on the bus.
(SIGHS) Well, I threw it away.
No you didn't.
It's right there on the counter.
Tom, I don't think you should be reading books like that.
Why not? I don't have a girlfriend.
A dirty book is not a substitute for a girlfriend.
It's not dirty, it's sexy.
Uh, no, it's really not.
Tom, for people who haven't had sex before and are young, like yourself, books like that create ridiculous expectations about women.
And those kind of books, honey, are very disrespectful to women.
Believe me, I'm getting a new respect for women.
I had no idea women would let you do things like that.
They won't.
Oh, they will.
It's right there in that book.
What? I think we should throw that book away.
It's not our book, it's my book.
(EXHALES) That was, uh That was frustrating.
But it was fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was fun.
Wasn't it? Yeah.
Yeah.
I love being back with you, being a couple again.
Yeah, it's great.
It's really great.
You're going to be late.
Oh, I know.
I have to go.
(SIGHS) I wish you could spend the night.
I don't think I could make it through the night.
All right, well, maybe some other time.
Like maybe after a game when you're really, really tired.
I don't know, Grace, I don't think I'm ever gonna be too tired.
(CHUCKLES) Me neither.
Oh, right.
Uh, I'm gonna go.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(SIGHS) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Where are you? I'm waiting for Ethan.
He's talking to Kathy's grandmother.
Kathy's not speaking to him.
I'm not surprised.
I still have to finish my paper tonight.
Or you could just get up early.
I think it's better if I stay up all night at the library, go to my classes then come home and crash.
I'm going to ask Bunny if that's okay, if I can take the afternoon off.
Bunny? Yeah.
You're going to ask Bunny if that's okay? Is there something wrong with that? Yeah, you weren't asking me if that's okay with me.
And it's not okay with me.
I don't feel comfortable with your staying out all night.
Amy, you're going to have to trust me.
I don't have to do anything.
Anything like what? (DISCONNECTS) (SIGHS) + Just this.
Cash, huh? I don't have any change.
Can you wait while I run up to the coffee shop? Yeah, I guess.
Little credit problem? Hmm? Lots of people pay with cash if they have bad credit.
Bad credit? No.
I have good credit.
I have excellent credit.
I just like to pay for things in cash so there are no surprises at the end of the month.
But that's none of your business.
Sorry, I was just going to offer to help you out.
Oh.
Well, I don't need your help.
I get it.
Sorry.
I run my own business, I was just thinking like an employer.
I'm always thinking that way, about jobs and money, who needs a job, who needs money.
I don't need a job or money.
All right, well, if you ever do need to earn a little extra cash I may have something for you.
Or we could just go out and get to know each other a little better.
You look like a smart girl, and you're beautiful.
I don't need a job and I don't want to go out with you.
Go away.
Hard to get, huh? I'm coming, sorry.
Yeah, look, you left me standing out there with some creepy guy.
What kind of guy do you find creepy? I'm just curious.
A guy who was offering me a job and trying to hit on me at the same time.
What kind of job? He didn't say.
Are you okay? Did he scare you? No.
Yeah.
I got a bad feeling from him.
Is he still down there? I don't know.
Come on, I'll go with you, I want to see him.
Call the campus police and tell them to walk over here.
Hey, I thought you were asked not to hang out in here.
What? What'd I do? I'm just picking up a book for my girlfriend.
Don't you mean some props for your girlfriends? Get out.
Okay, what are you talking about? Who is that? A pimp.
I suspect.
Wait, a what? A guy who sells women to guys.
He thought he was going to sell me to guys? I'm going to No, you're not going to do anything.
Just leave it to the campus cops.
That guy, other guys like him, show up around campus every once in a while.
They usually prey on freshmen, guys who just want to get laid or girls who are desperate and can barely get by on their loans or whatever.
Hey Bubba, we had an unwanted visitor.
What variety? Pimp.
I think he was in here last year, I'm pretty sure.
Either of you get a picture? No.
No.
Alright, I'll take a look at the security tape.
You know, I think I might just stick around and have a cup of coffee.
Yeah, do that.
But we're closing in another hour and Bubba will walk you to your car.
Thanks.
And what about you? I live on campus.
He'll walk me to my dorm or I'll call a friend.
All right.
And good for you for paying attention to your gut feelings about that guy.
Yeah.
I knew you'd be here.
I'm expected here.
I don't think Dylan is expecting you.
What, are you following me now? I might be.
Well go home before I call your daddy.
Go ahead, call my dad.
I don't care.
Because nothing is going to keep me from seeing Dylan.
Except for maybe me.
Hello.
What are you doing here? Can't a guy stop by and say hi to his girlfriend? Uh, she's not your girlfriend.
Uh, she's not your girlfriend.
I'm nobody's girlfriend, but my parents got delayed getting here and it's getting late and they asked if Henry wanted to come over and just stay with me until they got here.
So, goodnight, Ben.
What? Cecilia and Robert trust me.
Because unlike you, I'm trustworthy.
And I don't have any secrets or lies that I'm keeping.
Well, of course not, everyone knows you slept with Adrian.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, and no one knows that you slept with Alice while you were leading Dylan on.
Uh, excuse me? You slept with Alice while we were dating? It was an accident.
And it's very complicated.
And how the hell did you find that out? How do you think? Alice.
Let me just lock up and we'll grab Bubba and go.
Hey, am I too late? What are you doing here, Adrian? Oh, sorry.
Am I in your way? Did you need to speak to Clementine alone? I just wanted to get some coffee.
I'm going to try to pull my first all-nighter at the library.
You ready, Miss Adrian? Yeah, I'm ready.
Is he bothering you? No, he's not bothering me, but come back in five minutes, all right? You got it.
What the hell is going on? Oh, this creep hassled Adrian before.
What kind of creep? Some pimp on a recruiting mission.
What? It's a college campus.
They know who their market is and they know young girls are vulnerable away from home for the first time and a lot of college girls need money, so they prey on them.
Did they arrest the guy? He didn't really do anything.
They just chased him away and they'll keep an eye out for him.
Well, you're not walking back to your dorm alone.
Bubba will walk me.
I can walk you.
No, you go to the library.
I don't want you to have to tell Amy that you walked me to my dorm.
I like Amy.
I want Amy to like me.
Bubba will take me over, he does that a lot of nights anyway.
I don't want to walk around campus late at night by myself.
Then I'll walk you with Bubba.
Not necessary.
+ Thank you for finally picking up the phone.
I'm picking it u up to tell you to never call me again.
Never? Never.
But I was only looking out for your best interest, for the baby's best interest.
Uh, no.
You were being a jerk, and you have no regard for me or my baby or for my baby's parents.
So do not call me again and do not try to talk to me at school or get to me by talking to my grandmother.
I wouldn't have talked to your grandmother if you had talked to me.
I don't want to talk to you! I'm really, really angry with you and You know what? I don't think it's good for the baby for me to be angry with anyone! (DOOR CLOSES) (DRAWER OPENS AND CLOSES) So I'm at the clinic, as I told you I would be, and Ricky calls to tell me he took you home but I didn't know you left and neither did Shakur since apparently he'd left on an emergency call.
So you decided to go and meet the adoptive couple when I told you that was not allowed? You ruined my night, Kathy's night, the adoptive couples' night, Kathy's grandmother's night, Ricky's night and possibly the baby's life.
The baby's life? What if the couple backs out because of you? They're not going to back out, but I wish they would.
Look, I don't think they're going to make good parents.
I don't.
I have a sixth sense about these things.
I'm street smart.
I know when people are bad people.
These are bad people.
He's the mayor of a small town.
A small town that was voted the best small town in America.
Did your sixth sense tell you that? Did your sixth sense tell you that Jonathan has multiple advanced degrees and has won awards for developing environmentally safe products? Did your sixth sense tell you that the wife, Sonya, operates a day care for free for people that can't afford day care? You don't have a sixth sense.
You don't even have any common sense.
No one told me that stuff.
And if Jonathan had allowed me to keep asking questions, I'm sure I would have found that out.
Sit down.
(SIGHS) I told you this is not your decision.
It is not your decision who adopts the baby or if the baby is adopted.
That's Kathy's decision.
You don't get toto decide that because you're her boyfriend.
And I doubt that you are her boyfriend anymore.
And you want to know why, Ethan? You have no respect for her and you have no respect for me, because you didn't listen to either of us.
And if you ever want to have a decent relationship with a girl, then you need to start by having a decent relationship with your mother.
For now, that would be me.
You need too quit sneaking around and ignoring what I tell you to do.
And show some respect.
It's all about respect.
I respect you.
I'm afraid of you, anyway.
You're not that afraid of me because you slipped out to meet these people tonight when I told you not to do that.
Kathy wanted me there.
Okay, I wanted to be there.
For her.
And I asked her if I could go.
Because you didn't get your way last week.
Because you can't live with "no.
" Learn to live with "no.
" You're going to be hearing "no.
" From me and from other women in your life.
So now hear this.
No, you may not have your phone back.
No, you may not approach Kathy at school or anywhere else.
No, you may not go anywhere near that couple, not even to apologize.
And no, you may not stay up till all hours of the night trying to figure out how to get me to change my mind.
Go to bed.
But No! What, were you jealous that I'm dating Dylan? Jealous that you were dating Dylan? No.
But now I'm jealous that Henry's dating Dylan.
And the night I was with you, I was still jealous and angry that Henry had slept with Adrian.
Oh, come on, you were not that angry.
What we did was not revenge sex.
It was stupid, careless sex between friends on a crazy night when neither of us were thinking about anything other than my going to jail.
You were thinking about that.
I never believed that, that you would go to jail.
And Sorry.
I wanted to get back at Henry and then I felt guilty about it, really guilty, because it was wrong.
I just have to accept that Henry doesn't love me, and you have to accept that Amy doesn't love you.
She does love me.
She had to marry Ricky, just like I had to marry Adrian.
It's totally unfair.
You need to go back to Dr.
Fields.
And you need a friend.
Two friends even.
We've got to apologize to Henry, make it right somehow.
What, and just give Dylan to him? What? She's not property.
Well, I know that, but I still don't want him to have her.
Even though you'd give her up in a second for Amy Juergens.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Goodnight, Jack.
JACK: Goodnight, Grace.
Are you going to sleep? I'm not ready for bed yet, I'm wide awake.
You better get some sleep, you have practice tomorrow.
I don't think I can sleep, I'm still thinking about you.
Aw! That's so nice.
I'm still thinking about you, too.
I'm still thinking about having sex with you.
Oh.
Well, you should stop thinking about that, 'cause it's just going to make you more frustrated.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
Now, I have to get some sleep.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you.
Don't say it like that.
It's just (SIGHS) Forget it.
Oh, come on, it's fun not having sex.
It's the anticipation of it that's so exciting.
Anticipation may not be my strong suit.
Don't do anything stupid, Jack, all right? Just because I forgave you for sleeping with Clementine doesn't mean I'd forgive you if you did it again.
I'm not going to do anything stupid.
Good.
Yeah, all right.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hey, buddy, you're missing out.
The girls are here.
They're walking the halls.
What girls? Party girls.
There's a party? If you've got the money.
Uh, I don't think so.
+ Yeah.
I think he was.
Did you get a picture of him? I didn't even understand what he was doing until Clementine explained it to me.
I just I knew something was wrong.
Anyway, he took off and then the campus police came and I hung around with Clementine for a little, and then a campus cop walked me to my car.
I couldn't shake the creepy feeling.
(SIGHS) Geez, Adrian.
Do you have any idea how dangerous pimps are? It's never just sex involved, it's drugs, violence and all kinds of other crimes.
And yeah, that stuff does exist on campus.
I'm surprised you're so naive.
Hey, don't insult me! Well, what were you doing talking to this guy? He was at the bookstore! Quit trying to make this my fault! I did nothing wrong! No.
No, you didn't.
I don't know where that came from, I just got angry.
I just want to kill these guys.
The buyers or the sellers? Because if no one was buying, there would be nothing to sell.
Come here.
I'm staying over.
All right.
I think we should start thinking about living together.
I can't live with you because I'm afraid to live alone.
Can you live with me because you love me and I love you? Omar, (SIGHS) look, I've got a long way to go, I want to finish school.
You can't live with me and finish school? Come on, it's not something we need to figure out tonight.
(WHIMPERING) (GEORGE CHUCKLES) Chew your food.
Then you can taste it.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) You're just now going to bed? (SIGHS) Yeah.
Did I wake you up? No.
I was watching the game.
What have you been doing? Talking to Tom about that book.
It's his.
(SNICKERS) Tom's? Yeah.
And now he's filled with a bunch of really, really bad ideas about sex, and about women.
I'll straighten him out.
Well, I don't know if you're any better.
Me? I'm not into that stuff, I've got two daughters.
You were reading the book.
I thought you just left it on the counter as a starter.
No.
I thought it was a cookbook till you started reading it aloud.
All right, well, I'll talk to him.
The bigger problem is Tom needs friends.
You know what? He needs someone to be his friend.
You sound like you're feeling sorry for him.
(SIGHS) I am.
Don't feel sorry for Tom, he's a happy guy.
He's got a lot on the ball, he'll find someone.
Yeah, until then I just don't want him substituting porn for a relationship.
You know, that was pretty tame stuff he's reading, I think he'll be okay.
If he starts looking depressed or obsessing over those kind of books, then you worry.
And obviously, he doesn't see anything wrong with that book or he wouldn't have just left it in the kitchen.
He's not hiding anything.
Well, I don't know why people read those books.
Hey, sex sells.
Each to his own.
(SIGHS) People should just quit buying that stuff.
I don't buy that stuff.
But I have a girlfriend.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Busy.
Would you like some company? Uh, no.
Thank you.
Oh, come on, I've just got to make 50 bucks and then I'm done for the night.
Fifty bucks? I don't have 50 bucks.
And I'm not interested.
What, you got a girlfriend or something? Yeah.
And no offense, but I don't want to get caught with you in my room, you got to leave.
I'm not leaving.
I need 50 bucks.
You have to leave and I don't have 50 bucks.
If I scream, how much can you come up with? Don't scream, I'll see what I have.
You're not a very nice person.
Just trying to survive.
If I don't come back with my quota, I get the crap beat out of me.
By who? Who do you think? My pimp? There's a quota? Uh, yeah.
It's a business.
If I don't come back with so much cash every night, I get the crap beat out of me, so hurry it up, will you? I thought girls just did this to make a little extra dough.
(LAUGHS) Freshman, right? Yeah, I'm a freshman.
You work for a pimp? All hookers work for pimps.
You think any woman sells herself? I thought so, yeah.
Well, wake up.
This is how it goes.
These guys trick girls into going on dates with them, then they throw you in a van at some point, beat the crap out of you, do all kinds of horrible things to you.
Then they set you loose on the street, and you don't come back with the money, then, again, they beat the crap out of you.
Listen, I'm running out of time, so Is that what happened to you? I wasn't exactly on a date.
I met a guy online playing a game.
We liked the same game.
I told him where I lived.
He parked around the corner from my house, told me to sneak out and meet him.
I did.
He took off with me.
How old are you? Twenty-one.
No, you're not.
How old do you think I am? Sixteen maybe.
Good guess.
Come on.
I got to go.
Why don't you just stay and we'll call the police, all right? You really are naive, aren't you? You call the police and he'll kill me.
He'll get off and I'll be dead.
+ Morning.
I went to class, there was a sign on the door, it was canceled, I'm going to sleep until the afternoon class.
Where have you been? You know where I've been.
I've been in the library all night.
You sure? You sure you weren't with Jack? (CHUCKLES) Um, no.
I was not with Jack.
Why would I be with Jack? You know why you would be with Jack.
Amy, I'm really tired.
From what? From this conversation and from staying up all night to write my paper.
I wrote my paper.
I'm really happy with it, but I'm not happy coming home to this.
I didn't know there were hookers on your campus.
Hmm? Oh, don't act like you don't know.
No, I do know.
I saw Clementine last night and Aha! So it wasn't a prostitute, you were with her! No, I was not with her.
I got coffee before I went to the library, I texted you.
And then what happened? A hooker came in for coffee? (CHUCKLES) What? No.
But Some g had been in the bookstore earlier and he scared Adrian.
And Clementine recognized him from something that happened last year.
Apparently he's a pimp or something so the campus police walked Adrian to her car and walked Clementine to her dorm.
You didn't put any of that in your text.
Did you also walk Clementine to her dorm? Yes.
Why didn't you tell me that? Ricky, we've had sex practically every day, isn't that enough for you? Amy, of course it is.
There's nothing wrong with our relationship, other than you're a little nuts.
Well, I can't help it.
You shouldn't keep things from me.
I was going to tell you about walking her over, the cop was with us the whole time, but if I had told you that last night, you'd think I stayed with her or something.
Did you kiss her? No.
I did not kiss her.
And I am not going to kiss her.
Where is all this coming from? What? (SPITS) (GASPS) What? Oh.
Mmm-mmm.
Oh, ease tell me Ben is not involved in this somehow.
Let me see that.
When I'm done with it.
Jack? Jack is a Christian again? (SCOFFS) I don't know, but it's a good spin.
Wow.
"Wow" what? Fifteen-year-old-girl nabbed by some guy, turned into a prostitute.
She's been away from her family for two years.
So she liked it? Liked it? Are you that naive? Well, if she didn't like it, why didn't she just go home? Oy vey.
Because her pimp would beat her up or kill her.
What girl would like being a hooker? Uh And don't say Betty.
Betty was brutalized.
I had no idea.
That's the story of your life.
You really do have no idea.
You have no idea of the indignities and humiliation and intimidation and disrespect that women suffer because they're objectified by men.
How did you ever get the attitude that it was okay to have sex with women you don't really care about, because, on some level, that's like treating a woman as if she's property.
You did not get that attitude from me.
I haven't even had breakfast.
Well, have some breakfast and think about it.
And then go apologize to Alice and then go apologize to Amy.
Because, somehow, you seem to think because you were nice to her while she was pregnant, because you even fell in love with her while she was pregnant, that she belongs to you.
And she doesn't.
Okay.
Good morning, Tom.
Good morning.
I guess it's official.
Jack is a Christian again.
What are you talking about? (GROANS IN FRUSTRATION) Jack! I didn't do anything.
Some pimp sent some prostitutes into the athletic dorm.
When the cop came, I told him to help this girl.
She was terrified she was going to get killed.
By you? What? No.
And I swear, I didn't do anything.
I was going to give her some money because she's required to earn a certain amount of money or the guy would beat her up.
She's 15, Grace, she's a kid.
Oh.
Look, you can read the police report in the paper.
I didn't do anything, other than learn what idiots people are when it comes to this stuff.
Myself included.
All right, well, don't believe me.
I've been up all night and I got to go to practice.
(DISCONNECTS) They make it sound like it's fun.
All right.
Come on, bud.
Hey, we have to go.
All right.
Well, I don't want to leave when I know you're upset with me.
I think you're the one who's upset with me.
Well, I was upse I didn't want you to be gone all night.
I didn't sleep well.
And I hate myself when I don't trust you.
You're the best husband in the world.
I'm not your husband.
Yeah.
We have to do .
We are going to be doing something about it.
Yeah, and soon.
My mom got home last night.
All right, well, let's get the wedding going.
I think we're cracking under the pressure.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Sorry.
I love you, Amy.
I love you.
Bye.
Iave to go.
Bye.
+ Waiting for me? Why, yes, I was.
Should we go find Henry? I want to talk to you first.
Oh? I apologize, Alice.
I apologize for taking advantage of you as a friend.
And as a woman.
Okay.
I never should have suggested that we do what we did.
I don't know how much talking was involved.
Then we really should have talked about it.
I'm an ass.
You are, but you're my friend, and I was an equal participant for all the wrong reasons.
So, still best friends? If you'll have me.
Well, well, well, if it's not the two secret lovers.
Okay, we deserve that, Henry.
We really do.
And I apologize for what happened, and I apologize for not telling you and for making it look as if I was avoiding you because you slept with Adrian.
What are you up to? He's up to, "the sooner we all get over our mistakes, the better.
" Uh-huh.
And if you want to go out with Dylan, then all I have to say is may the best man win.
Oh? You think Dylan would ever go out with you now that she knows about you sleeping with Alice while you were going out with her? You told her? I wasn't going to, I didn't on our first date.
I was going to take the high road.
And then you didn't.
But then I didn't.
So game on.
Excuse me, do you not get what objectifying women means? Hey, how are you this morning? Oh, I didn't have a good night.
Did you see this morning's paper? Yes.
So there are prostitutes on campus.
So what? Ricky's not interested in them.
No, I'm sure he's not.
Are you being a smart ass? No, no.
I meant that.
I'm sure that Ricky is happy being married to you.
Why is that? Why are you so sure? And why is it any of your business? Okay, look.
This isn't going the way I hoped.
Um I just wanted to say that Amy, I'm sorry about the way I've acted.
I should have let go of the fantasy of ever being with you years ago, and, uh, now I really have to because I'm wrecking my entire life.
All right.
But, um Maybe in another life.
Ben.
All right, never.
I just meant that I apologize for this notion I've had that you should have belonged to me.
You belong to Ricky.
Well, I don't belong to anyone.
I'm married to Ricky.
That's what I meant.
Belong was the wrong word.
Yeah, wrong word.
So it really is over.
It's been over for quite a while.
I know.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Look, let's not make this weird or anything, I'm still your friend, you're still my friend.
No, let's not do that.
I can't do that.
Let's not be friends, not for a while.
Not for years even.
Okay.
Whatever you need to do, because, Ben, you're, like, a really nice guy and if caring about me wrecked your life, then I'm really sorry.
So, Ben.
Henry and I had a very nice time last night and if you would like to counter by asking me out, you may do so.
Would you like to go out? I am free from any former entanglements that may have kept me from giving our relationship the attention I should have.
My parents still won't let me.
Otherwise, the answer would have been yes.
(CHUCKLES) Did you get kicked off the team? No, I didn't, but any of the guys that participated in any way got suspended or kicked off the team.
The ones that participated on a level that got them arrested, got kicked off the team.
But you're not suspended or anything, right? What are you doing here? The word "Christian" in the headline is causing too much attention to me on the field, so the coach told me to take off and talk to you.
Oh.
Well, I like that coach.
I do, too.
And I like you.
Why's that? Because you care about me, and you care about doing the right thing, and people that care about doing the right thing, respect themselves and respect other people.
So I want to apologize for being a jerk, for sleeping with other women, for trying to push you to do something you didn't want to do, and I'm going to be a better man.
So, you're not speaking to me? I didn't think you were speaking to me.
I looked at you, I know you saw me look at you.
You told me not to speak to you at school, and I respect what you say.
Since when? Since my mother pointed out what a jerk I am.
Yeah.
You are.
But sometimes I don't like that couple either.
I just have to suck it up, 'cause they're really going to be good parents.
They're just so perfect.
Yeah, I Googled them.
They're saints.
