The Secret Life of the American Teenager s02e08 Episode Script

- So, first day of school.
- Yep.
And Ashley's first day of school.
So you take care of her and forget about Ben for today.
I feel a little funny about giving you a car if we're not even friends.
What is this, some kind of a bribe? If that's the way you wanna look at a brand-spanking-new SUV, then I guess it is.
How are you, Jack? Why are you touching my arm like that? I'm instilling confidence in you as my patient.
Something doctors do.
I'm Griffin.
You wanna have lunch with me? You make it sound as if it's a date.
- I'm gay.
- Maybe we could even be friends.
- Do you trust me? - No.
I don't trust you, either.
Then I guess it's just a matter of not getting caught, isn't it? We have to find some things to do together with John as a family.
I do love you.
Well, I told Dad about the car.
He's not bribing my daughter with a car.
- I think that's my baby, Anne.
- Yeah, I think it is, too.
- I love you! - It's too late.
No, it's never too late.
Let me fix it.
I know what this is about.
This is about the car.
No.
I thought about it, and I thought you were right, I was wrong.
Amy needs a car.
You wanna buy her a car, buy her a car.
I already bought her a car.
And I don't need permission to buy a car.
Anne just wanted me to wait until she and I could talk, and it's been a busy week.
- Is it a lease, or did you buy it? - I don't lease.
- Smart.
Neither do I.
- Wait.
So if this isn't about the car-- It isn't about the car.
It's about the baby-- my baby.
I know it's your baby.
We've figured that out.
Are you just now figuring that out? No.
- What happened? - What happened? Yeah.
You two haven't said anything to each other in, what, six months? And now that the baby's about to be here, you wanna talk about this? - I do.
- There's nothing to talk about.
I love Anne.
Well, Anne wants me to break up with you whether you love her or not because she's having my baby.
Yeah.
I should know, 'cause I put it there.
See, George, right there.
That's exactly what Anne hates about you-- that crudeness.
That crudeness is what got her pregnant.
I know about the night in the garage.
A night in the garage does not a lifetime make.
What is that, iambic pentameter or Pig Latin? Neither.
What about the vasectomy? I lied.
She hates that, too-- that you lie.
And you know what, George? She hates your sense of humor.
It's so pedestrian.
Oh, I see.
And you and Anne, you're more intellectual equals than Anne and myself-- or Anne and me-- or Anne and I? Enlighten me.
Let's see-- I don't really care.
I ain't got no education, so I'll just have to use my brain.
I thought you graduated from college.
- Not a good one.
- Still, I'm surprised that Anne would even want you to have this conversation with me.
You were a sickly child, weren't you? Spent a lot of time in the house with Legos? You fantasized what life would be like outside those gates of the estate you grew up in, but you never really found out, so let me tell you.
Life outside those gates is crap, and it's real, and it's messy, and you can't plan it, you can't control it.
All you can do is live it.
And you can't live it with my wife and my daughters and my baby.
You wanna bet? The secret life of the american teenager S02E08 w w w .
b i e r d o p j e .
c o m Are you finished yet? Nope.
Are you finished with your homework yet? I've been finished.
Dad, just take a break and go and see the house.
Hurry! You have to hurry.
It'll be gone if George ever really puts it on the market.
Adrian, it's not on the market.
And even if it were, I don't know if your mother and I like the house.
But you haven't seen the inside of the house.
It's the perfect house.
And you know what they say.
It's all about location, location, location.
You couldn't get a better location.
Yeah.
For spying on Ricky.
But I don't think that has much value as far as resale.
Adrian, I have to make the decisions about buying a home.
I'm the one who has to pay for it.
Okay, well, just take a look at it, please.
George won't mind.
Come on.
We will look at the house when the house is on the market.
That's all I can promise you.
All right.
Then I'm just gonna go over to Grace's.
- It's a school night.
- We'll do homework.
What homework? You said you were finished with your homework.
Okay, I know you're a DA, but take the night off.
There's no night off from being your dad.
What are you up to? Are you going over to Ricky's? I'm going over to Grace's house to get away from you.
And we're not doing homework.
Happy? So your dad's not home? No.
Sorry.
He's not.
I think he's next door if you wanna go over there.
But Mom doesn't know he's thinking about selling the house, so I wouldn't mention it in front of her.
Oh, no, of course not.
But I don't wanna bother him if he's with your mom.
Could we wait? We don't have to if you don't want us to or if it's inconvenient.
- I really don't care.
- Thanks.
By the way, how are you doing with school, Ashley? Personal space alert, Grace.
I understand.
Do you mind if I just see what the view is like from the window? Go ahead.
Ricky and Amy are in the living room.
I don't feel right about this.
I don't.
I mean, we should've called first.
Well, she didn't call last time, either, so don't worry about it.
Adrian, you've already seen the house? - Yeah, I've seen it.
- You told me you never saw it! I lied.
Are they fighting? - I know that you know.
- I don't know, Amy.
You don't know if Ben had sex this summer? No.
- I know that you know! - Hey, don't do that! Whoa! I don't think Ricky would like it if he knew you were watching him argue with Amy.
I think that's if he knew you two were watching him argue with Amy.
I'm out.
Me, too.
Adrian, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Wanna see the rest of the house? That's so nice of you.
I mean, we were so rude just to drop in.
But I'd love to, yeah.
Thanks.
Adrian.
I've seen it.
I have to know.
I have to.
I'm telling you, I don't know.
I don't know if Ben had sex or not.
What makes you even think he had sex? Because he's acting all grown-up and reasonable.
He wants us to find something we both have in common and spend some time doing activities that we both enjoy.
He sounds like someone's parent.
He does not sound like my boyfriend.
My boyfriend Ben wanted to have sex.
So have sex with him.
I don't wanna have sex with him.
I wanna know if he had sex before I waste my time finding some stupid activity that we both enjoy.
Wouldn't you both enjoy sex? I didn't find sex that much fun.
Yeah.
Keep telling yourself that.
I didn't have fun.
I think you did.
And didn't Ben tell you he didn't have sex? What else is he gonna tell me? What? Nothing.
You do realize that once your parents buy the house that you'll probably break up with Ricky, and then you won't be able to get away from him, 'cause he'll be right next door for the next 18 years.
I don't care.
So your dad's over there, too? Yeah, he and my mom are fighting in the kitchen.
But we don't have a direct view of the kitchen, so I'm really only guessing based on what he went over there for.
But we all know it's his baby at this point.
Oh, good.
I guess that's good.
Well, I don't know if it's good.
It's just what is.
There's nothing anyone can do about what is.
Yeah.
No matter what happens, life goes on.
Grace, I hope you don't think I was referring to your dad.
I'm sorry about your dad.
I didn't think you were.
I do miss him.
He was a nice man.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
He was.
And so is your dad.
I haven't heard that.
Really? I think he is.
He's kind of a well-meaning type of guy.
Well-meaning? Yeah, I guess he's that.
I thought that's what you wanted me to do-- fix it.
Why would you think that I wanted you to break up with David for me? That's not fixing things.
You left it up to me to fix things between us.
- I was fixing things.
- I did not leave it up to you.
Okay, then, I took things into my own hands.
He said, "You wanna bet?" That's what he said? He's so cocky.
He's not cocky.
He's confident.
That's one of the things I always liked about him was that he was confident.
I wonder what he meant by that.
Yeah.
I wonder, too.
He doesn't have a chance.
Does he? I don't know.
I thought he would be more upset with me, but he's been fine with me all week.
Honestly, he's been more upset with you.
I guess if he's more upset with you than he is with me, then maybe he really does love me after all.
- What? - Maybe I should just stay with him.
You're having my baby! I know.
But David's told me over and over again that he doesn't care-- that he loves me anyway.
- You don't love him! - I do love him.
I'm just not in love with him.
Honestly, George, I don't know if I'm in love with you, either.
I love you, but-- You're in love with me.
You've always been in love with me.
Maybe I just love you like I just love David.
Aw, come on.
You would choose that building-block weenie over me? I like that building-block weenie.
That's why I went out with him-- because I like him.
- You just like him 'cause he likes you.
- So? So a lot of guys would like you if you gave them a chance.
I would like you if you gave me a chance-- another chance.
Maybe I should've dated more.
You were already pregnant when we broke up.
What do you mean, you should've dated more? Who's gonna go out with a pregnant woman? I don't know.
David did.
- Maybe other men would.
- What? I don't know.
Maybe I just gave in too easily to both you and to David.
Maybe I don't want either one of you.
Maybe the love of my life is still out there.
Maybe I'll fall in love again.
What are you doing here? What are you doing here? I asked you first.
Are you spying on me? Why would you be spying on me? - I'm just at Amy's visiting my son.
- Uh-huh.
Don't start following me around.
I don't like that.
I'm not following you around.
I was just dropping by to see George.
George is with Anne.
And why would you be dropping by to see George? You have a father now.
Yeah.
And my father's buying George's house.
What? So you'd be living next to Amy? Mm-hmm.
What's she doing here? Oh, she's looking at our new house.
Hi, Ricky.
We were just leaving.
- Is she kidding? - About? - Buying the house.
- I don't think so.
Where are George and Ashley moving? Hey, guys.
Hi.
What are you doing here? I asked him to pick me up so Adrian could talk to you.
- Hey, Adrian.
- Hi, Jack.
Ricky.
- Did you know about this? - About? Oh, Adrian's parents are buying Amy's dad's house.
- Oh, that's convenient.
- Convenient for what? Um, you seeing Adrian after you see Amy and John.
This'll give you two more time together, huh? Okay, well, this has been fun.
Good night.
Oh.
Look who's here.
What's going on? Did you know Adrian's dadis buying your dad's house? No, he isn't.
Yes, he is.
Adrian says he is anyway.
That's ridiculous.
My dad's not selling his house.
Your dad's getting back together with your mom, so someone's buying the house.
Might as well be my family.
No.
No one is buying my dad's house.
He's not moving.
He's certainly not moving back in with us.
It's his baby.
Yeah? So? So he's moving back over there.
There's not room for him over there.
There's not room for her, either.
Says who? Oh, you can stay with us.
I'd hate for you to have to endure her.
Well, that's an interesting proposition.
Let me think about it.
Like, you're gonna live with Adrian and her mom and her dad? You're not gonna do that.
You're not telling me what to do.
No, I'm telling you what to do.
You're gonna stay in this house with Dad because I need your room for the nursery.
Mom can move over there with you and Dad and her baby if they get back together.
Yeah, right.
And you'd get the whole house to yourself? - I could use a whole house.
- Oh, please.
They're not gonna give you the whole house.
Get real, Amy.
I'm gonna need my room back, and John'll move into your room with you.
He's in there all the time anyway.
Mom is not getting back together with Dad just because she's having his baby.
Oh, I know what you're thinking.
If you can keep Mom and David a while longer, you can still get that new car.
- He's buying you a new car? - SUV.
It's a bribe.
He just wants you to get your mother to choose him.
- Well, that's not gonna happen, is it? - Probably not.
Butt out.
My SUV is none of your business.
You butt out! - I wasn't butting in! - You were butting in about the house.
If Dad wants to sell the house to Adrian's family, he can.
No! And move back in? Mom's not gonna let him! Guys-- You think you know everything just 'cause you had a baby.
No, I don't.
- Do I, Ricky? - Kind of.
Oh, thanks a lot, Mr.
Father Of My Baby.
Ricky is the father of my baby, and he is not moving in with us.
So, why would my dad move back into the house with my mom just because he's the father of her baby? You know, actually, this is kind of fun-- everyone in my future kitchen all together like this.
- No, it isn't.
- Well, I think it is.
Aw, I can't wait to move in.
Good night.
I do not want Adrian living next door to Amy.
Why not? Afraid she'll catch you lying about where you are? - You think I'm afraid of her? - Ah, a question, not an answer.
I don't care if she catches me cheating.
I wish she'd catch me cheating.
Then she'd break up with me.
Is that why you want her to catch you cheating? You want her to break up with you, or you just want her to somehow stop you from cheating on her? I can't stop.
You can do a lot of things you never thought you could do.
Like what? Like, you probably never thought you could be a good father, but you are.
Maybe you could be a good guy for a change.
Maybe I don't want to.
Maybe you do.
You're late.
Bye.
Fortunately, the judge has an appointment this morning, so we're starting a little late.
- Fine.
Well, have a nice day.
- You, too.
I'm working on finding us a house, Adrian.
I am.
Promise.
Thanks.
I'm sure you are.
- I am! - Bye! Bye.
Hello? Ruben, it's George.
Adrian gave me your number.
I understand you're in the market for my house.
Is your house on the market? It might be.
- Might? - Is.
I guess Adrian came by there last night.
Yeah, I guess she did.
She's a smart girl-- that Adrian.
She just wants the house so she can spy on Ricky.
She can spy on Ricky.
She's not gonna see anything.
He's not doing anything with Amy.
Is he doing anything with anyone else? - How would I know? - You know.
That's why you answered the question with a question.
- He's cheating on Adrian? - He might be.
I don't know.
- You wanna see the house or not? - Again with the question.
How would I know if Ricky is cheating on Adrian? You sure he and Amy aren't doing anything? You think having Adrian next door would stop them from doing anything? - Is that what this is about? - Ricky and Amy? Come on.
Amy? No, she's never gonna go near that guy again.
Are you interested in the house or aren't you? Yeah, I guess so.
We haven't been able to find anything in the school district all summer.
But, uh, I'd like to see it before I buy it.
Great.
When do you wanna see it? - Well, when can I see it? - Whenever you want.
I got a little time this morning, but Cindy won't be back until tonight.
You should take a look at it first, and if you hate it, tell her I'm not selling it.
No harm, no foul.
It's just between us guys.
No foul? We'd be lying.
But, uh, I'll be there in 15 minutes.
- Thanks, George.
- You're welcome.
Ricky and Amy? Nah.
Hey, Amy said Mom wants you to take us to school.
I can't.
Your mom will have to do it.
I'm showing the house.
Shouldn't you have a place to live before you sell the house? I'm going back whether your mother likes it or not.
I'm gonna be a daddy again.
- Mmm.
And a husband? - Yeah, sure.
We'll get married again.
Of course we will.
Good morning.
Turn around and go back to the house.
Your mother has to take you to school.
- I'm showing the house.
- To? Someone who wants to buy it.
Dad, you cannot sell this house to Adrian's parents.
I can sell this house to whomever I want.
Dad, I'm not even sure Mom will let you back in the house, so where you gonna go? - She'll let me back in the house.
- No, she won't.
She will, too.
And don't take David's side.
I already told him he can give you the car, just so you know.
- Really? - Really.
- Thanks.
- You know, Amy, even if Dad says he can, David's not gonna give you the car once Mom breaks up with him.
Well, maybe she's not gonna break up with him.
Your mom's not gonna marry David and move into the big green house and become some kind of environmental expert married to an architect who worships her.
That was just a dream.
Yeah, well, she's still got her dream catchers.
- You never know.
- Ooh, clever.
- Shut up.
- You two miss each other, don't you? - No.
- You're not fooling me.
You both want your mother and me getting back together-- all of us living under one roof again with the new baby like nothing ever happened.
Now who's dreaming? Dad, she's not gonna take you back just because she's having your baby.
Mom can take care of her baby by herself without you, without David, without anyone else.
Yeah.
Just like you can take care of a baby without Ricky or Ben or Mom or Dad or me or anyone else.
You're doing it all by yourself, too, aren't you? I think I did pretty well by myself this summer.
Yeah.
I bet Ricky was over there every single night.
Yeah, for, like, an hour.
The rest of the time, I did everything by myself.
An hour? Come on.
He never kept you company while Mom was up at the house with David? Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
Did he? Where-- Where's the baby? Where's John? Oh, no! Tell me something.
Ricky and Amy this summer-- - You think he stayed all night? - What do you think? I don't know.
He might've, but they would never-- they would never have sex or anything like that, would they? - Well, what's anything like sex? - Just answer the question.
I don't know.
Amy thought that Ben was having sex, so she might've.
- What? - Well, we were away, so who knows? I mean, it's definitely a possibility at some point, but it's less of a possibility if Adrian's living here.
Yeah.
You're smart.
- Who you looking for? - You.
I was looking for you.
Didn't you hear me yelling for you when we left the field? Uh, I did, but I didn't feel like talking to you in front of everyone.
- What do you want? - Adrian, I have to tell you something.
No, you don't.
You don't have to tell me anything.
- I think I do.
- No.
Not now, not anytime.
I don't wanna know, ever.
Yeah, well, you're gonna know, so I'm gonna tell you.
And if you don't wanna know, why would you go to all the trouble to have your dad buy a house? Just so you can spy on me? Ben! - Oh.
Hey, guys.
What's up? - You're here early.
Uh, yeah.
I just wanted to get a book from the library.
Cribbage.
I, uh-- I learned to play this summer.
Hopefully Amy likes it.
Do you mind? I was trying to talk to Adrian.
You know, we can talk later.
So, how are you, Ben? How are you and Amy? We're good.
Friday night date night tonight.
Oh, so you worked everything out-- you and Amy? Who cares? We did, actually.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Uh, it was a little rocky at first, but now we're fine.
And tonight-- cribbage, which, hopefully, will become a pastime for a lifetime.
Wait.
So, cribbage.
What is that? Adrian, I don't care and you don't care, and I doubt if Amy even cares.
You know what, Ben? Amy thinks this whole "find something in common"routine is just a cover for your trying to be interested in her.
But you're not, because you had sex with some other girl, or girls, this summer.
She's hounding me to tell her that you had sex with some girl, or girls, this summer, so why don't you just tell her? Because I didn't.
And even if he did, he shouldn't tell Amy, because if he does, And even if he did, he shouldn't tell Amy, because if he does, she will never, ever feel the same for him.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
Nothing's going on.
Nothing that anyone really wants to know, anyway.
- I almost left John at home.
- Oh.
Hey.
Good morning.
I almost left John at home.
I had the baby seat and the baby bag and the baby everything else, but I didn't have the baby.
I'm really losing it-- with everything going on between my dad and my mom and the babies.
I still can't believe she's having a baby.
It's unbelievable.
Maybe I sleptfive minutes last night.
I can barely keep my eyes open.
Did you ask Ricky if I had sex this summer? - What? - Is that a "yes"? - No.
- Amy, I love you.
I really love you,and I only wanna be with you for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry, Ben.
I just get so jealous of you.
And wondering what happened this summer is making me crazy.
- What? - Amy, I didn't do anything.
- I'm just wondering why you're so jealous all the time.
- Because I love you! I really love you, and I only wanna be with you for the rest of my life.
Oh.
Okay.
"Okay"? Uh, yeah.
It's just that was my answer.
Your answer is good enough for me.
Why isn't it good enough for you? Because I caught Ricky sleeping over at your house.
We are not going back to this, are we? No, we're not.
We're not.
So, hey, ready to play a little cribbage? Can't wait.
- You'll love it.
- Yeah.
Sure.
If you don't wanna play cribbage, maybe Ricky could take John tonight, and we could do something else.
- Like? - Like go out to dinner and then make out in the car for an hour or two.
Or, again, we could play cribbage.
It's a nice house.
It's perfect for Adrian's family.
That would be crazy, wouldn't it, if Adrian and her family moved in next to Amy and her family just so she cold spy on him? It's not just so she can spy on him.
She's in love with him.
She wants to be near him, and she wants to make friends with Amy so she can be around John.
Ricky won't let her be around John.
I think it could be good for everyone-- the whole family.
It could just be a chance for them to forgive and forget.
"Forgive and forget"? Yeah, you know that Mr.
Juergens cheated on Mrs.
Juergens with Adrian's mom? Didn't Mrs.
Juergens also cheat on Mr.
Juergens? No.
- That was my mom.
- No, it was Amy's mom, too.
And she has that boyfriend that everyone thought got her pregnant.
Only, he didn't, of course.
- Wait.
She cheated before the boyfriend? - That's what I heard.
- From? - Madison.
- Madison? - Yeah, Madison.
- When did you talk to Madison? - I don't know.
Last summer? - Did you see Madison a lot last summer? - It was nothing.
We just had a few meetings of the Dead Parents Club.
Without me and without Ben? Just you and Madison? How many is a few? Three? Four? I don't know, Grace.
I spent most of my summer on the field.
Are you sure you didn't spend your summer playing the field? What? You never said anything about meeting with Madison.
- I didn't? - No, you didn't.
When I told you Jason broke up with her, you acted like you didn't know.
- Did you know? - Um, yeah, I think I did.
I just didn't care.
Or I guess I forgot.
Maybe I got hit in the head too many times.
Have you been doing those groin-strengthening exercises I told the coach about? Yeah, the whole team's been doing them.
- Good.
- Good? Yeah, I have the sudden urge to inflict a groin injury.
Wait, wait, wait.
You? You, Dr.
Grace Bowman, are jealous? I kind of like that.
It makes you less doctor and more woman.
Ben! Hey, wait up.
- ??? - ???? if you wanted to get together since we didn't see each other all summer and, you know,Jack and Madison went right on with their Dead Parents Club meetings.
- Really? They did? - Yeah.
They did.
So I didn't know if you wanted to get together,just the two of us, and talk about our dead parents without Jack or Madison.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
That would be interesting.
Just let me know when.
- See ya.
- Okay.
You don't wanna come over to my house and watch Twilight Zone.
No, of course not.
I wanna see your crazy family in action.
Well, everyone else gets to come over.
I mean, come on.
What, are you ashamed of me? Oh, yeah, I would be ashamed to have you as my friend when I live with my family.
Hey, I just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Mark.
Hi, Mark.
Bye, Mark.
Get away.
She's not interested.
Okay, I admit he was kind of tempting, so I guess I owe you.
- You can come over.
- You do owe me.
Don't you have a guy to go out with? I thought we made a pact-- no dating in high school.
Yeah, but pacts can be broken.
Yeah, well, not tonight.
I'll drop by at, what, Hi.
I don't think we've met before.
I just wanted to introduce myself.
To her or to me? To you.
We'll talk later.
What, after high school? No dating in high school.
Remember? Yeah, I forgot.
Uh, so, 9? Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, Ricky.
Can we talk? About? This is kind of awkward.
It's about Adrian.
- What about Adrian? - I was just wondering, are you two together or not? - Why do you wanna know? - Why do I wanna know? Never mind.
We're home! You like coming over to Daddy's house, don't you? Come on.
Let's put you in your high chair.
There you go.
And you can drum while Daddy heats up your bottle.
Come on.
You try.
Not going out tonight? Maybe later.
Maybe later if Ricky calls you later? What is that? That is how things are right now.
Adrian, your father wants me to take a look at George's house tonight.
Great.
- Great? - Yeah.
Only because it's a great house and it's in my school district.
I'm not interested in spying on Ricky anymore.
- Because? - Because I don't have to.
I already know he's cheating on me.
- He told you that? - No.
Then what makes you think that? He tried to tell me he cheated on me.
Haven't you two always cheated on each other? Yeah, but-- this time it's different.
This time I really care about him.
Well, if you care about him, why would you cheat on him? Because he cheats on me.
So if you already know, why would he tell you? Because he wants me to know for sure so I'll break up with him.
So you can break up with him? Well, why else would he want me to know? Well, I don't know.
Maybe because he regrets doing whatever he did, and he's decided that he wants to have an honest relationship with you.
Ricky? Maybe it's time you and Ricky both admit that you love each other.
Maybe it's time you and Ricky both admit that even though you love each other, you cheat on each other because you're afraid to be loved.
Why would we be afraid to be loved? Because you're afraid of being hurt.
So you just hurt each other and you hurt yourselves because you know that's how it's going to be anyway.
You think that's what we're doing? I think it's a possibility.
Really? Been there.
Sorry.
Had to take a call.
You going with us, Adrian? No, I've seen the house.
Is George gonna be there? George is leaving it unlocked so we can take a look without him around.
Yeah, not a bad guy-- George.
I guess I could live next door to him without being too jealous.
How am I gonna live next to Amy without being too jealous? Oh, please tell me you're not changing your mind at this point? No, she's not.
Talk to Ricky.
I missed you this summer.
I missed this.
I did, too, but remember, this is as far as we're going.
This is fine with me.
I could do this all night.
Who could that be? Oh, I told a friend of mine she could drop by.
- Can you get it? - Yeah, I guess.
- If I have to.
- Okay.
Thanks.
Oh, hey, Madison.
Come on in.
Hey, Grace.
Hey, Jack.
I invited her.
I thought we'd have a Dead Parents Club meeting even though Ben is out with Amy tonight.
Sorry if we left you out this summer.
"We"? It's okay, Madison.
I felt kind of jealous at first, but I'm glad we talked, 'cause I don't wanna be jealous of anyone.
Jealous? Of her? It actually did kind of make me feel good that you were jealous of me.
You know, especially with Jason and I breaking up.
I just feel like such a loser.
- You and Jason broke up? - Jack, it's okay.
I know you two talked about Jason and everything else.
I know that losing a boyfriend-- any kind of loss takes you right back to that feeling of loss and death and all those bad things.
- Huh, Madison? - Yeah, unfortunately.
I was just jealous that you didn't tell me the two of you were talking, Jack.
Madison is beautiful and smart, and I don't want you to be interested in her, but I think the three of us should try to be friends just like Adrian and Ricky and Amy are trying to be friends.
Well, I don't think that's gonna happen, so It could happen, God willing.
Even then.
It could still work.
It could.
It could, but I'm having a baby.
George's baby.
We both know that you didn't really wanna marry me.
I mean, you were willing to marry me, and I love you for that.
You're really the nicest guy, David.
I'm really gonna miss you.
We could still work together.
- Really? - Would that make you happy? Yeah.
It'd make me really happy.
Well, then, I don't know why we couldn't continue working together.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
Let's.
Thanks.
Oh.
Anne, I'm still gonna move to the house.
I wish it was gonna be the three of us.
But if it's not, I'm still gonna move.
you can work out of the office I have here when you're ready.
I'm only gonna be in there once in a while.
So you're gonna move? You're moving anyway? Yeah, I am.
I need to make a change in my life.
I wish that we were making it together, but - But we're not.
- Do yourself a favor.
Don't just go back with George.
Have the baby.
See what happens.
Don't get married again if you don't wanna get married.
You don't have to marry George again.
You can do whatever you want.
And after the baby comes and when you're feeling ready to take on a project or two, call me, okay? Thanks, David.
That's unbelievable.
And I will.
I will definitely call you.
And I'm sorry that Amy's not here to say good-bye.
She and Ben got to go out because Ricky took John for tonight.
I'll just have to talk to her another time.
That's something else that I'm gonna have to face, too.
Amy and I just were never really that close.
And Ashley-- I-- I hardly even know Ashley.
So, about the car-- No, you're not giving Amy a brand-new SUV.
That was a crazy idea.
You're right.
So I'm gonna give it to you, and if you wanna give it to her, give it to her.
And I'm not gonna take no for an answer.
I'm gonna leave before you can say anything.
So, I will see you around.
Call me.
Wait.
David, you can't.
I didn't pay you anything for all your input on the house that we renovated together.
You didn't get anything for all your hard work, so take the car.
Please, take the car.
Good-bye, Anne.
I'll see you later.
Good luck with the baby.
Bye, David.
Hey.
How'd it go? It went really well.
After the baby comes, Anne's gonna call me and go back to work with me.
And I've decided to give her the new car.
She can decide if she wants Amy to drive it.
Night, George.
Oh, and, um, there wasn't any time limit on that bet, was there? Hi.
John's here.
Oh, I didn't know you had John tonight.
But how would I since you wouldn't take my calls? You wouldn't talk to me at school, so why should I talk to you? Would it be possible for me to actually come inside? Look, I know you don't want me around John for whatever reason, but I promise I won't go near him.
I-- I think maybe we should talk.
Or at least I hope you still wanna talk to me.
All right.
You wanna come in, come in.
He's cute.
He looks like you.
You think so? Everyone thinks he looks more like Amy.
Really? Mmm, no, I don't.
So,what did you wanna tell me? Nothing.
No? No.
What did you come over here to tell me? Nothing.
A friend of yours stopped me in the hallway at school today.
Well, no friends of yours stopped me in the hallway at school today, and yet I know you have friends, too.
Ricky, is there any way you and I could see each other without having anyfriends? 'Cause I just want a chance to see if there really is anything real between us without always trying to even the score.
I told you I didn't want you to see other guys, Adrian.
You said Ben and Jack, but I knew what you meant.
And you were, and still are, seeing other girls, Ricky.
- That's how I am.
- And that's how I am.
But what I'm asking is is it possible that we could be some other way? Is it possible for us to be different? Is it possible for us to change? Because I know you have to care about me, because you don't usually go back to the same bed over and over again.
I know I'm the one you always come back to.
And this time, I wanna be the one you never leave.
Never.
Adrian, we're in high school, Ames.
Oh, no.
Was I asleep? You were.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
- It's not okay.
Thank you for always being so understanding.
I'm not always so understanding.
- Yeah, you are.
- No, I'm not.
When aren't you understanding? I just feel like there's some unfinished business about the summer, and I just wanna clear the air.
Ben, you know Ricky was over every day this summer.
He's been over every day since John was born.
That's not exactly where I was headed, but Did Ricky ever sleep over again other than the time that I caught him sleeping over? What? I'm sorry.
I've been thinking about that all night.
And that was a "what," not a "no.
" Yes, he did sleep over.
Sleep.
All right.
That's good to know.
Did you have sex this summer? No.
- You didn't? - No.
You know, Ben, I used to think that you would never lie to me, and now, for some reason, I'm just not so sure.
All right, Amy.
I lied.
Confession.
No-- Adrian told me that Ricky slept over a few times this summer.
And you never told me.
I've been waiting for you to tell me.
Oh, have you? That's what's been bugging you all summer? Yeah, that's-- that's one thing.
So I guess Ricky told Adrian and Adrian told you.
Uh, yes.
He promised he wouldn't say anything to anyone.
- Are these wings paid for? - Uh-huh.
- I wanna go.
- All right.
I'll take you home if that's what you want.
I don't wanna go home.
I wanna go over to Ricky's and get my son.
- Amy-- - I hate him.
And I hate her-- Adrian.
Did you tell Ruben and Cindy they could spend the night in there? No.
But this is a good thing.
It means they want the house.
I should be getting an offer any minute.
I'm the owner.
No commission.
It's a beautiful thing.
- You know him? - Kind of.
Roll down the window.
Hi.
I'm Griffin, Ashley's friend-- her gay friend.
Really? You're gay? Hallelujah! - Hi.
- Hi.
You could've told me.
Oh, using me as the fake boyfriend, huh? No, just a fake friend.
We're friends.
I know you never had one before.
But we're friends.
Take my word for it.
Mm-hmm.
We'll see.
I'm looking after her, Mr.
Juergens.
Every guy in that school wants Ashley.
That's not what I wanna hear.
It's the truth.
But don't worry.
I-- I won't let anyone near her.
I'm a black belt.
No kidding? Nah, I'm kidding.
But, still, I am looking after her.
I'll call you if I sense any trouble.
Good man.
We're gonna be friends, Griffin.
At least for the next four years.
So what are we doing? Well, my dad's just letting a couple look at the house-- Adrian's parents-- and we were waiting for my mom's boyfriend to leave, but he left already.
Wow.
So I missed the good part, huh? No, not really.
Is this pretty much the way you pictured Friday night dates in high school? Sitting in the driveway,in your car, with your gay friend and your dad? Well, I've learned to have no expectations and no disappointments.
And, hey, at least I'm not having a baby.
You look really comfortable with him.
I wanna have a baby someday.
But not anytime soon.
I wanna go to college and then work at my career and then get married and then have a baby.
You got a good plan.
Stick to it.
It's kind of hard.
I think about getting pregnant sometimes just to compete with Amy.
Don't worry.
I'm smart enough to know that not getting pregnant is the way to compete with Amy.
I don't think you'd go for this twice.
You're right.
Ricky, open up.
It's me.
You put him down this minute.
Don't get upset.
I was just holding him.
You're never bringing him over here again.
Thanks for calling.
Sorry.
She insisted.
You can take him home.
But he's coming over here again, and Adrian can hold my son if and when I want her to hold him.
I don't want that-- that-- Slut? Yeah.
That's the one.
- I don't want that-- - Slut.
Touching my baby.
And you're not going to move into my dad's house.
I'm not going to be living next door to you.
I'm afraid you are.
My dad called.
Your dad accepted the offer.
