I was afraid this might happen.
Then why'd you kiss me? I was making good on a promise.
And now that I have, I'd like you to do something for me.
That's pretty nervy, asking for a favor after insulting my kissing.

If you didn't, then you would have been all over me months ago.
I wasn't all over you because we had an agreement.
Agreement-shmement.

Nope.
Nothing.
Nada.

Hey, I just saw Mike leaving.
Yeah, yeah, Mike.
So what? I'm going to talk to Mom.
I can help you.
It's a guy thing.
You know, I'm a guy.
And I can, I can help you with guy things.
You don't always need to go to your mother when you want to talk about a guy.
Uh, I'm here, too.
Okay.
I kissed Mike and he said it was like kissing his sister.
That's great.
- Ooh! - It's great, no, great for me, not for you.
No.
Luce, come back.
- Just give me another chance.
- I'm Mama.
This is Mama.
Can you say "Mama"? What's going on? They won't call me Mama.
But they're calling Ruthie, Mama.
So? So I'm Mama.
I'm the Mama who carried them around for nine months and gave birth to them.
There is only one Mama, and I'm it.
Okay.
You're the Mama.
Is something wrong? Just a guy thing.
It can wait.
Mama.
Mama Mama.
How's it going in there.
In the bathroom? Why do you care? No reason.
Um, okay.
What are you up to? Nothing.
I offered to help with Sam and David, but Mom said no.
Oh.
It looked like she had everything under control.
Hey, I was just going out to meet John.
What? Yeah, he called earlier but you weren't around.
And? And he asked me if I wanted to play some pool when he got off work.
And you're going out to play pool with John? Yeah, just for an hour or so.
You're welcome to come.
Oh, I'm welcome to come along with you and my best friend.
I'm sure John won't mind.
Yeah, I'll pass.
All right, see you later.
"Well, you're welcome to come.
" What are you doing? I'm running the last lap in the Indy 500.
And I'm in the lead.
So, they teach sarcasm in high school now? My favorite class.
Why do you have to be such a jerk? Ouch.
Okay, sorry, Mr.
Sensitive.
What's up? Nothing.
Why can't Robbie move out? I mean, he has a job.
He makes good money.
It's not like he can't get another place to live.
I'll help him get another place to live.
He doesn't want another place to live.
He likes it just fine where he is in "Hello Kittyville.
" But this is our house, our family.
Robbie has a family of his own.
I know.
Lucy made out with half of them.
Wait.
So, if Robbie has his own family and friends, why does he have to take our family and friends? Well, good-bye, Mr.
Sensitive and hello, Mr.
Nutjob.
Now that you've completely disrupted my concentration, what are you talking about? Do you feel like playing some pool? Do you, do you, do you feel like playing some pool? Well, sure I feel like it, but I have a test to study for.
Just just for an hour.
Why don't you call John? Well, because I don't want to, okay? I want to play pool with my brother.
What about tomorrow night? Friday night? Well, do you have a date? No.
Do you have a date? No.
All right, so, tomorrow night, we'll play pool.
You sure you can't go tonight? I'm studying.
All right.
Fine.
School is more important than family.
Study.
Study hard.
See where that gets ya.
A room at your parents' house with your sister's ex-boyfriend and a date with your brother on a Friday night! Hey.
Do you know who your little friend Robbie's out with? John! My best friend.
John.
That's probably because he likes Robbie better.
So, how are things going with Priscilla? Fine.
The place is a little small for two people, but that's okay.
She's getting it fixed up all nice and cozy.
It's cleaner than it ever was when Matt lived there.
And there's food in the refrigerator.
She's making me cookies and brownies and stuff like that.
You're miserable aren't you? Yes.
Yes, I am, but please don't tell anybody.
Don't worry, I won't tell.
So, what am I gonna do? Do you love her? Have you talked to her? She's very sensitive, and I don't want to hurt her feelings.
You have to talk to her.
Just be honest and just tell her what she's doing that bugs you and then try to work it out.
The Camden family is really rubbing off on you.
Hey, I wasn't sure if you knew I was home.
I knew.
- What are you doing? - Three guesses.
- You have a test.
-I don't study just for the fun of it.
I could grill you.
Run some questions with you.
Maybe we can make flashcards.
Dad, it's Shakespeare.
I don't think flashcards are gonna help with Hamlet.
Oh.
I think Matt was looking for someone to play pool with.
Hey, I understand you're looking for someone to play pool with? I-I changed my mind.
I don't want to play pool.
I don't want to do anything but enjoy the solitude of the room while my roommate is out.
Where is Robbie? Playing pool with John.
Why aren't you playing pool with John? Because Robbie intercepted the call and stole my invitation and my best friend.
You could join them.
We could join them.
No, I-I spend enough time with Robbie.
You're not feeling a little jealous are you? I wasn't dating John.
We're just friends Best friends.
You want to talk? There's nothing to talk about.
I just want to be alone.
If you change your mind I won't.
Hey, Luce.
I admit I spoke too quickly on that guy problem.
I know Mike must have hurt your feelings and if you want to talk about it We talked about it.
She's fine.
Ruthie talked to you? What? Do you think I can't talk? Hello? Hey, Mike.
Oh, it's Mike.
That's great.
Are you still angry? No.
It's nothing personal.
It's just a fact.
Kissing you is like I'm not angry.
But I could get angry again.
Fine.
Look, let me do you a favor.
Let me fix you up.
Thanks for the pity offer, but I can get my own dates.
It's not pity.
I want something in return.
I'll fix you up, and can fix me up.
Do you know Elena Casey? Elena Casey? No.
Who do you want to fix me up with? I have someone in mind, a friend from another school.
I'll call him tomorrow.
I'll give him your number and address.
I think you two would probably like each other.
He wants to be an architect.
He comes from a big family.
He's nice.
"Nice.
" Great.
I'll talk to Elena for you.
Cool.
Talk to you tomorrow.
- You off the phone? - Yeah.
How'd it go? I'm going to fix Mike up with some girl I don't know and then he's going to fix me up with some guy I don't know.
Well, that's interesting.
You can always tell what someone really thinks of you by who they fix you up with, you know what I mean? You asking me? No.
All right, if I can be of any further conversational assistance, do not hesitate to call.
We won't.
Right.
Who did Mike want to go out with? Casey.
Elena Casey.
Here you go.
What's wrong with her face? I think she has acne.
Say "Good night, Mama.
" Just say "Mama.
" How about "Ma"? Good night.
I love you.
- What? - What what? I can tell you're upset about something.
I'm not really upset, but Good, because I hate it when you're upset when I'm already upset.
Because we can't both be upset at the same time.
Okay, you first.
It's just that, that, you know, the kids are growing up.
Yeah, and they're not calling me Mama.
None of the kids have ever done this before.
I've always been Mama.
I want to be Mama.
I don't know how this happened.
Wait.
I do know how it happened.
I should never have signed up for school again.
I'm out of the house entirely too much.
I'm spread way too thin.
I'm losing my family and I don't know how I let it get to this.
I am a very bad mama.
Bad mama.
Hi, honey, I'm home.
I think.
Still awake, huh? Who am I? Who am I? Mama.
Yay! Very good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Once again.
Who am I? Mamamama Mamamama Yay, all right.
Yay! Yay! Mamamama Mama! Mamamama Mama! Mama! Mama My ride's here.
So, are they calling you "Mama" today? Nice talking to you.
You know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
It's time to bond.
Time to be with those you love.
A time to communicate.
To set the tone for the day.
It's a time to eat.
So, what's going on in your life? Mama.
Mama.
Mama.
Hey.
What's wrong? Nothing.
Oh, come on.
Something's wrong.
Did you have fun last night? What was last night? Uh, don't play games with me.
I'm not in the mood.
Look, I'm sharing a room with Robbie and more "Hello Kitty" merchandise that can be found in the city of Osaka, so I hope you're happy.
I'm ecstatic.
Elena.
Hi.
- I'm Lucy Camden.
- Hi.
Do you know Mike Pierce? I've see him looking at me, but people tend to do that.
He wants to ask you out.
He asked me to ask you because he can't seem to get close enough to you to ask you himself.
That's what he wants? Mike Pierce wants to go out with me? Mike is a great guy and Is this some kind of prank? Because if it is, it's not funny.
And chances are, it's been done before.
Along with a lot nastier pranks.
And frankly, I'm surprised at you and Mike.
You don't seem like the type of inconsiderate morons who normally try to trick me.
- We're not trying to trick you.
- Honest? Honest.
He wants to ask you out.
But he said every time he approaches you, you walk away.
So he asked me to ask you.
That's all that's going on here, I swear.
Well, if he's seriously interested Trust me, he's seriously interested.
Wow.
That would be great because in my estimation, Mike Pierce is a real human being.
Yeah, he is.
And he's smart.
He's like one of the smartest guys in the senior class.
Intelligence is so sexy, don't you think? And he's creative.
He's a musician.
He plays piano.
I've never heard him play, but Wow, Mike Pierce.
Yeah, Mike Pierce.
And bonus, he reminds me of Steve McQueen.
I love Steve McQueen.
Wait, wait, wait, flag on the play.
Weren't you going out with Mike? We tried, but no chemistry.
We're still friends, though.
Very good friends.
So, he can go out with someone, have it not work out and still be friends? That shows a lot of character.
Of course you have to take into account the gossip factor.
Believe me, if I cared what other people said, I wouldn't get up in the morning.
Tell Mike I'd be absolutely thrilled to go out with him.
That's who Mike wants to go out with? Yeah.
Mike obviously sees beyond physical appearance.
I respected him before, but I really respect him now.
You missed out on a great guy, Luce.
We're still friends.
Yeah, but the prize goes to Elena.
Elena's definitely the winner.
Mike is going to fix me up with a friend of his.
I, too, could be a winner.
You're kidding yourself if you think there's another Mike Pierce on this planet.
I realize that.
I just realized it a little too late.
Besides, he said I kiss like his sister.
Right.
Let him go.
Learn from your mistake and move on.
All right, all right.
I'll let it go.
Learn from my mistake and move on.
Hey, you want to join me for a cup of coffee? I, I don't have time.
Why don't you just tell me what the cup of coffee is about? It's not about anything, other than I-I feel like all you kids always go to your mother, you know, and you don't come to me anymore for anything.
So, you think we all love Mom best? I wouldn't put it like that.
You're jealous of Mom? Yeah, I'd put it like that.
Well, it sounds like a problem between you and her.
Shouldn't you be talking to her? I should, but I'm talking to you.
Why? Because I just needed to hear myself say it out loud and now that I have, well, it sounds ridiculous, so never mind.
I just thought that maybe if I talked about my own feelings of pettiness and jealousy with you, that you might talk to me about Robbie.
I'm not jealous of Robbie.
Yes, you are.
I'm not.
I'm jealous of John.
Dr.
Richards, you have a call on extension 25.
I'm starting to feel like Lucy did at 13.
Yeah, I am, too, only now of course, Lucy is, well, more confident than either of us.
- Nice talking to you.
- Same here.
And let us never speak of these things again.
Yes, never.
Hey, oh, watch this.
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Mama.
That doesn't bother you, does it? Uh, no, it doesn't bother me at all.
Did Mary ever call Matt "mama"? Did Lucy ever call Mary "mama"? Uh-uh.
Did Simon ever call Lucy "mama"? No! Did I ever call Simon "mama"? No! Mama.
Mama.
Oh, please for the love of Mama just say it! I've been looking for you all over.
I've wanted to thank you for talking to Elena.
How'd you know? I just talked to her.
She found me after lunch.
We have a date for tonight.
I'll wait for you at the car.
She's even nicer than I thought.
Did you know she's a musician? She plays violin and she's in community theater and she's smart.
She wants to become a doctor, and colleges are actually coming after her.
Isn't that great? Yeah.
Great.
What, is something wrong? Now that wasn't like kissing your sister.
It wasn't, was it? No, but But what? I'm still going to go out with Elena.
But, but the kiss? The kiss came too late.
Sorry, Luce.
Yeah, me, too.
What did you do? I didn't do anything.
You did something.
Elena stood me up.
I waited for her for an hour at the Promenade and she didn't show.
I didn't do anything.
Did you say something to her after I talked to her? No, I swear.
What? You didn't say anything to Elena, did you? Why would I do that? What would Simon say to Elena? Maybe he'd say that after I talked to Elena, I realized how much I cared about you.
And that I wanted another chance to go out with you.
And that I'm jealous.
I thought that's why you kissed me.
I didn't realize what I had until it was gone.
No, I think it's more like you didn't want something until someone else wanted it.
You fix this, Luce, or we're not going to be friends.
We're going to play pool.
Yeah, you want to come? Uh, it looks like you're doing a brother night out thing.
I don't want to interfere.
I've gotten enough from the Camden's without horning in on family relationship and friends.
John said something to you, didn't he? No.
My dad? If you've got a problem with me, you don't have to go tell John or your dad or Simon.
Simon? No one said anything.
You've been more than your usual extremely unfriendly, hostile self lately.
And I have no trouble figuring it all out by myself.
You know, maybe it wasn't such a good idea I went out with John last night.
You know, but John needed to get out.
I think he's having a hard time since you left.
He doesn't want to admit it.
It's not easy living with a woman.
- It isn't? - It isn't? No, it isn't.
I know from experience.
Well, I'm very interested to hear about all that when you have the time.
No, he'll have the time when you're like 18.
Any particular reason.
John's finding it hard to live with Priscilla? Talk to John.
Maybe I will.
So, he misses me? I think he does.
Well, if you need to talk to John, then Robbie and I can go shoot some pool, talk, and you can catch up with us later.
Well, only if that's okay with Matt.
It's okay with Matt.
You know I'll meet you later, thanks.
- Maybe you should ask your mom.
- Yeah.
Ask me what? Is it okay if Simon and I go to the pool hall.
I thought Matt was going to go.
Well, I'm going to meet them later.
It's okay.
Have fun.
What's wrong with you? Nothing.
My own children won't call me Mama, that's all.
Mama.
Ow.
Sam and David.
Oh, I Oh, did I mention that they're calling Ruthie "mama"? Ruthie she's their sister, and I'm their mama.
Yeah.
So, you're jealous of Ruthie.
No, I'm not jealous of Ruthie.
I'm jealous of Dada.
They call your father "dada.
" And he's not with them nearly as much as I am.
Did you know that you said dada first? So did Mary and Lucy and Simon and Ruthie.
But you see, Sam and David said mama first.
And now they won't say it to me.
It was a gift and now they've taken it back.
It's just not fair.
I pour my soul out to you and your response is laughter.
I'm laughing because you're jealous of Dad and Dad's jealous of you.
What? Dad thinks all of us kids love you best.
What? Now he thinks that we all go to you to solve our problems.
Well that's because your father's busy solving everyone else's problems.
And I do whatever I can to lighten the load.
Which includes trying to help you and everyone else around here.
Don't explain it to me, explain it to Dad.
No, wait, on second thought, don't explain it to Dad, he told me not to say anything.
Well, because being jealous made him feel so Lucy.
Really, he'd be upset with me if you said anything.
I understand.
I'll find a way to bring it up.
A way that won't tip him off to the fact you ratted him out.
You don't lie well.
You know that, don't you? I'm not going to lie.
I'm going to finesse the truth.
I don't know if you're really that good at finessing.
Trust me.
I do, but, I think I'll go out just the same.
I'll be right back.
Can I talk to you? I'm Lucy Camden's brother, Simon.
It's okay.
I might want to hear this.
I saw you at the car and I know you saw them.
Are you in on whatever pathetic scam this was? Honest, it wasn't a scam.
This is what happened.
When Lucy talked to you, you made Mike sound like such a great guy, she started to have second thoughts about giving him up.
Not that he's her property to give or to keep.
So, I'm somehow responsible? No, no, not at all.
It's just that Lucy got jealous when Mike wanted to go out with you.
Jealous of me? Lucy Camden was jealous of me? Why not? Mike is interested in you.
He's no longer interested in Lucy.
Yeah, why is that? Between you and me he said kissing her is like kissing his sister.
It didn't look like a kiss between brother and sister today after school.
I know you saw them.
But I had a feeling you'd deal with it.
Give Mike or Lucy a chance to explain.
I just couldn't take it if you were all goofing on me.
I'm telling you the truth.
Mike is interested in you.
He only likes Lucy as a friend.
Lucy just let her emotions get the best of her today.
She does that sometimes.
Not as much as she used to.
But, believe me, she's got some pretty big emotions.
Let me get Robbie to drive us back to the house right now so you can talk to them.
Okay, but my parents can drive us.
Yeah.
I have something to confess.
I'm afraid you've got the wrong church.
Seriously, um, I am feeling really overburdened.
You know, I'm trying to go back to school.
I've got two babies, and a whole gaggle of other children from ten to 21, and they're all constantly coming to me with their problems I just can't handle it right now.
But I told Matt that my problem is that the kids aren't coming to me with their problems, not that you're not coming to me with the kids' problems.
But, uh, thanks for trying to make me feel better, Mama.
That's not funny.
Come on, we're both being a little oversensitive, aren't we? Why are we like this? Uh, I think it's because there's been some shifting since Mary left.
We both felt needed when we were pulling together to help Mary.
Now that she's gone, I think we just need to give ourselves a chance to settle a bit.
We're both a little insecure.
We'll probably stay that way till Mary's okay again.
Still this mama thing is getting to me.
All the kids said dada first, all of them, except Sam and David.
Yeah, I know.
You don't have to gloat.
You're still gloating.
You know it's polite to knock.
If you're going to make out on top of the desk, it's polite to lock the door.
What's up? I thought you were at the pool hall.
I have a problem.
Well, I don't have a problem, Lucy's friend, Elena, she has a problem.
She's in the living room.
I brought her here so she could talk to Lucy.
Where's Lucy? Out with Mike looking for Elena.
It's it's all a big misunderstanding.
And you want me to help? It's kind of complicated.
It's right up your alley.
Well.
Does it hurt? Mostly my heart and my ego.
How do you get it? It's hereditary.
You get it from genes.
Like, if your mom or your dad, or your uncle or your aunt had it, you can get it.
So, how do you get rid of it? In my case I can't.
I've tried every kind of pill, lotion, cream, but nothing works.
Maybe in a few years my acne will clear up on its on.
That happens.
Unfortunately, it usually happens in your 20s.
That's a long time from now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Mike really likes you.
How do you know that? I know practically everything around here.
I hear practically everything around here.
I'm very quiet and sneaky.
But I'm honest.
Matt, come in.
Uh, I couldn't find John at the hospital.
Is he? What is this, Benihana? What? Uh, the only thing missing is that grill that seats ten.
Why would you do this to this apartment? I just made it more me and John and less you and John.
Nothing in this place is John.
He must hate it.
He loves it.
Well, he's lying.
He wouldn't lie to me.
Where is the toaster and the coffeemaker and the trash can.
Everything's put away.
Where are the bunk beds? Where's John suppose to sleep? John doesn't like sleeping on the floor.
He did last night.
What do you know that John loves sleeping up high so much that he bought his old bunk beds from his mother? He has a whole theory about the air being best next to the ceiling.
And you're trying to tell me that he likes this little pad on the floor.
Even if he likes it, he'll break it.
I mean, this furniture is for tiny people.
John's a big guy.
Big guys don't live on tiny furniture.
Why does this make you so happy? You're kidding, right? No.
Because John's miserable.
And that makes you happy? Oh, yeah.
You know, I am totally jealous and afraid that my best friend's going to get married and totally forget about me.
Now I know he'll never forget about me.
He'll always remember me because every day he'll come home to this place and think what happened to the guy with all the big furniture? I'm sorry.
Having acne forced me to look past my appearance and realize there's more to me than just acne.
Um, first chair violinist in the all-state orchestra.
I have a 4.
0 grade average.
I'm funny.
I'm attractive.
I'm me.
And I've realized all this because I have acne.
So, really, when you think about it, it's a blessing.
And when I go to college, I'd like to be a dermatologist.
So I can find a cure for this blessing.
If no one beats me to it, and I hope they do.
So, you really don't need me at all, do you? No, Simon just asked if I'd share my problems with you.
I'll leave you three alone.
I saw you two kissing today.
What's going on? I wasn't kissing.
I was receiving.
It's true.
This whole mess is my fault.
I was jealous and desperate and I didn't want to give up.
Simon told me everything.
Apology accepted.
Thanks.
I don't deserve it, but thanks.
I think you owe me an apology.
You stood me up.
What if we go out and get an ice cream? Then that would count as the aforementioned date.
And you would no longer owe me an apology.
Thanks, Luce.
Are we still friends? Yeah, good friends.
Why didn't you tell me you hated this place? Is this how our marriage is going to be? I do things you don't like and you're going to lie to me? Matt said you liked the old bunk beds.
And the furniture is too tiny and you don't like sleeping on the floor.
Apparently, Matt knows what you like.
You're not afraid to talk to him.
Maybe you should marry Matt.
Actually, I think that's what he wants anyway.
He's absolutely giddy that you're so unhappy with me.
I'm sorry? I should have said something to you, but you worked so hard, I just didn't want to hurt your feelings.
And I'm very happy with you.
It's the apartment that I'm not so crazy about.
Come on, baby, I love you.
Don't be mad at me.
Okay.
I'm sorry, too.
I should've talked to you before I changed the whole apartment.
So, what are we going to do? Well, we're gonna live happily ever after with the girl of my dreams in a little Japanese apartment.
And then, maybe someday, we'll open up a Benihana.
I'm sorry I interfered with Elena, but when I saw her at the pool hall with her parents You were right.
And no one would have gotten hurt if I had just thought about what you said and hadn't acted so rash by kissing Mike at school.
I have to get used to this side of you the giving-good-advice side.
Mama, mama.
Mama, mama.
Why do they do this, why? Someone, please answer me.
Why do my babies keep calling Ruthie "Mama?" Because Ruthie taught them to do that.
She gives Sam and David a cookie every time they call her Mama.
Excuse me.
Why didn't you tell Mom about this sooner? Because I didn't know that Sam and David calling Ruthie "Mama" bothered her.
Hey, where's Simon? Uh, he left with some girl.
What? He didn't pick her up, he brought her back to your house to talk to Lucy.
So you've been just sitting here all night by yourself? Yeah.
Why? I didn't want you to show up and have no one be here.
Well, I'm sorry for being late.
I went to see John at the apartment, but he wasn't there.
So I gave up and went to the hospital, but I missed him there, too.
How's the apartment? It's more of a dojo than an apartment.
I heard it's very Japanese.
Yeah, he must really love her if he's willing to live in a place like that.
Lookie here, it's the loose lips convention.
I called the house, Simon told me I could find you here.
I need to talk to both of you.
Oh, no problem.
Can we talk while we play pool? By the way, I just love what Priscilla's done with the apartment.
Me, too.
- Liar.
- Oh, yeah.
Ooh.
Come on out.
I know you're in here.
How did you know I was here? I didn't.
I've been going into every room saying that.
I knew eventually I'd come to a room where you were.
Why did you do it? Why did you teach the twins to call you "Mama?" Is it because I'm going to school and with everything I have to do around here, you were feeling left out? Did you do it to get my attention? Do you think we're not spending enough time together? What? You can tell me.
I was goofing on you.
What? It was a joke.
I didn't think you'd take it so seriously.
Sorry.
Goofing on me? So it was a joke? You're not angry with me for not spending more time with you? For going to school? For having the twins? We spend plenty of time together.
I like the twins and you like school.
Honest.
When I'm angry at people, I tell them.
I'm not angry at you for anything.
You're a great mom.
I was just bored.
Really? Yes, really.
It was pretty funny.
They're easier to train than Happy.
Don't ever do it again.
I apologized, and Mike and Elena are out on their date.
The date they were supposed to be on until I got involved.
Oh, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.
You made a wrong, but you turned it into a right.
Thanks.
Do you think I'll ever find someone? Yes, definitely.
Probably when you least expect it.
How do I do that, least expect? I expect.
No, actually, I want.
I want a guy.
I don't want to want one, but I do.
I've got all this fun senior stuff coming up Valentine's, senior prom, graduation.
I want a guy for all that.
What are you going to do while you wait for the guy? I've got classes and friends and family and Habitat for Humanity.
Right.
Luce you've got a life, with or without a guy.
When you do get a guy, he'll be the luckiest guy in the world because he gets you.
Thanks.
You're an only child, too? That's why I want to have a house full of kids when I get married.
I want a lot of kids, too.
- How many? - Five.
Five, nothing.
I want a dozen.
I could handle a dozen.
Maybe two.
Do you want something to drink? Why not? Hi, can I talk to Lucy Camden? I'm Lucy Camden.
I'm Jeremy.
A friend of Mike Pierce.
Mike told you about me, right? He was going to fix us up? I'm sorry to come by so late, but I just got Mike's message, and I didn't want you to think I wasn't interested.
I work on Friday nights and well, I I think I'm talking too much.
Maybe I should just go home and call you and do this properly.
No.
No, no.
Don't go anywhere.
Come in.
Please, come in.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
You're really pretty.
There's a lot more to me than looks.
I bet there is.
It's late, but I could make you some cocoa and we could talk.
Lead the way.
- Kiss.
Let's try that again.
That was like kissing my sister.
No offense, but I think we have what's known as absolutely no chemistry.
I was afraid this might happen.
Then why'd you kiss me? I was making good on a promise.
And now that I have, I'd like you to do something for me.
That's pretty nervy, asking for a favor after insulting my kissing.
Come on, you knew it was gonna be like this.
If you didn't, then you would have been all over me months ago.
I wasn't all over you because we had an agreement.
Agreement-shmement.
You were never attracted to me, and although I am attracted to you, chemistry is two attractions mixing together.
And we don't have that.
Nope.
Nothing.
Nada.
Zip.
Zero.
When I see their happy faces Smiling back at me 7th Heaven I know there's no greater feeling Than the love of family Where can you go When the world don't treat you right? The answer is home That's the one place that you'll find 7th Heaven Mmm, 7th Heaven 7th Heaven.
Hey, I just saw Mike leaving.
Yeah, yeah, Mike.
So what? I'm going to talk to Mom.
I can help you.
It's a guy thing.
You know, I'm a guy.
And I can, I can help you with guy things.
You don't always need to go to your mother when you want to talk about a guy.
Uh, I'm here, too.
Okay.
I kissed Mike and he said it was like kissing his sister.
That's great.
- Ooh! - It's great, no, great for me, not for you.
No.
Luce, come back.
- Just give me another chance.
- I'm Mama.
This is Mama.
Can you say "Mama"? What's going on? They won't call me Mama.
But they're calling Ruthie, Mama.
So? So I'm Mama.
I'm the Mama who carried them around for nine months and gave birth to them.
There is only one Mama, and I'm it.
Okay.
You're the Mama.
Is something wrong? Just a guy thing.
It can wait.
Mama.
Mama Mama.
How's it going in there.
In the bathroom? Why do you care? No reason.
Um, okay.
What are you up to? Nothing.
I offered to help with Sam and David, but Mom said no.
Oh.
It looked like she had everything under control.
Hey, I was just going out to meet John.
What? Yeah, he called earlier but you weren't around.
And? And he asked me if I wanted to play some pool when he got off work.
And you're going out to play pool with John? Yeah, just for an hour or so.
You're welcome to come.
Oh, I'm welcome to come along with you and my best friend.
I'm sure John won't mind.
Yeah, I'll pass.
All right, see you later.
"Well, you're welcome to come.
" What are you doing? I'm running the last lap in the Indy 500.
And I'm in the lead.
So, they teach sarcasm in high school now? My favorite class.
Why do you have to be such a jerk? Ouch.
Okay, sorry, Mr.
Sensitive.
What's up? Nothing.
Why can't Robbie move out? I mean, he has a job.
He makes good money.
It's not like he can't get another place to live.
I'll help him get another place to live.
He doesn't want another place to live.
He likes it just fine where he is in "Hello Kittyville.
" But this is our house, our family.
Robbie has a family of his own.
I know.
Lucy made out with half of them.
Wait.
So, if Robbie has his own family and friends, why does he have to take our family and friends? Well, good-bye, Mr.
Sensitive and hello, Mr.
Nutjob.
Now that you've completely disrupted my concentration, what are you talking about? Do you feel like playing some pool? Do you, do you, do you feel like playing some pool? Well, sure I feel like it, but I have a test to study for.
Just just for an hour.
Why don't you call John? Well, because I don't want to, okay? I want to play pool with my brother.
What about tomorrow night? Friday night? Well, do you have a date? No.
Do you have a date? No.
All right, so, tomorrow night, we'll play pool.
You sure you can't go tonight? I'm studying.
All right.
Fine.
School is more important than family.
Study.
Study hard.
See where that gets ya.
A room at your parents' house with your sister's ex-boyfriend and a date with your brother on a Friday night! Hey.
Do you know who your little friend Robbie's out with? John! My best friend.
John.
That's probably because he likes Robbie better.
So, how are things going with Priscilla? Fine.
The place is a little small for two people, but that's okay.
She's getting it fixed up all nice and cozy.
It's cleaner than it ever was when Matt lived there.
And there's food in the refrigerator.
She's making me cookies and brownies and stuff like that.
You're miserable aren't you? Yes.
Yes, I am, but please don't tell anybody.
Don't worry, I won't tell.
So, what am I gonna do? Do you love her? Have you talked to her? She's very sensitive, and I don't want to hurt her feelings.
You have to talk to her.
Just be honest and just tell her what she's doing that bugs you and then try to work it out.
The Camden family is really rubbing off on you.
Hey, I wasn't sure if you knew I was home.
I knew.
- What are you doing? - Three guesses.
- You have a test.
-I don't study just for the fun of it.
I could grill you.
Run some questions with you.
Maybe we can make flashcards.
Dad, it's Shakespeare.
I don't think flashcards are gonna help with Hamlet.
Oh.
I think Matt was looking for someone to play pool with.
Hey, I understand you're looking for someone to play pool with? I-I changed my mind.
I don't want to play pool.
I don't want to do anything but enjoy the solitude of the room while my roommate is out.
Where is Robbie? Playing pool with John.
Why aren't you playing pool with John? Because Robbie intercepted the call and stole my invitation and my best friend.
You could join them.
We could join them.
No, I-I spend enough time with Robbie.
You're not feeling a little jealous are you? I wasn't dating John.
We're just friends Best friends.
You want to talk? There's nothing to talk about.
I just want to be alone.
If you change your mind I won't.
Hey, Luce.
I admit I spoke too quickly on that guy problem.
I know Mike must have hurt your feelings and if you want to talk about it We talked about it.
She's fine.
Ruthie talked to you? What? Do you think I can't talk? Hello? Hey, Mike.
Oh, it's Mike.
That's great.
Are you still angry? No.
It's nothing personal.
It's just a fact.
Kissing you is like I'm not angry.
But I could get angry again.
Fine.
Look, let me do you a favor.
Let me fix you up.
Thanks for the pity offer, but I can get my own dates.
It's not pity.
I want something in return.
I'll fix you up, and can fix me up.
Do you know Elena Casey? Elena Casey? No.
Who do you want to fix me up with? I have someone in mind, a friend from another school.
I'll call him tomorrow.
I'll give him your number and address.
I think you two would probably like each other.
He wants to be an architect.
He comes from a big family.
He's nice.
"Nice.
" Great.
I'll talk to Elena for you.
Cool.
Talk to you tomorrow.
- You off the phone? - Yeah.
How'd it go? I'm going to fix Mike up with some girl I don't know and then he's going to fix me up with some guy I don't know.
Well, that's interesting.
You can always tell what someone really thinks of you by who they fix you up with, you know what I mean? You asking me? No.
All right, if I can be of any further conversational assistance, do not hesitate to call.
We won't.
Right.
Who did Mike want to go out with? Casey.
Elena Casey.
Here you go.
What's wrong with her face? I think she has acne.
Say "Good night, Mama.
" Just say "Mama.
" How about "Ma"? Good night.
I love you.
- What? - What what? I can tell you're upset about something.
I'm not really upset, but Good, because I hate it when you're upset when I'm already upset.
Because we can't both be upset at the same time.
Okay, you first.
It's just that, that, you know, the kids are growing up.
Yeah, and they're not calling me Mama.
None of the kids have ever done this before.
I've always been Mama.
I want to be Mama.
I don't know how this happened.
Wait.
I do know how it happened.
I should never have signed up for school again.
I'm out of the house entirely too much.
I'm spread way too thin.
I'm losing my family and I don't know how I let it get to this.
I am a very bad mama.
Bad mama.
Hi, honey, I'm home.
I think.
Still awake, huh? Who am I? Who am I? Mama.
Yay! Very good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Once again.
Who am I? Mamamama Mamamama Yay, all right.
Yay! Yay! Mamamama Mama! Mamamama Mama! Mama! Mama My ride's here.
So, are they calling you "Mama" today? Nice talking to you.
You know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
It's time to bond.
Time to be with those you love.
A time to communicate.
To set the tone for the day.
It's a time to eat.
So, what's going on in your life? Mama.
Mama.
Mama.
Hey.
What's wrong? Nothing.
Oh, come on.
Something's wrong.
Did you have fun last night? What was last night? Uh, don't play games with me.
I'm not in the mood.
Look, I'm sharing a room with Robbie and more "Hello Kitty" merchandise that can be found in the city of Osaka, so I hope you're happy.
I'm ecstatic.
Elena.
Hi.
- I'm Lucy Camden.
- Hi.
Do you know Mike Pierce? I've see him looking at me, but people tend to do that.
He wants to ask you out.
He asked me to ask you because he can't seem to get close enough to you to ask you himself.
That's what he wants? Mike Pierce wants to go out with me? Mike is a great guy and Is this some kind of prank? Because if it is, it's not funny.
And chances are, it's been done before.
Along with a lot nastier pranks.
And frankly, I'm surprised at you and Mike.
You don't seem like the type of inconsiderate morons who normally try to trick me.
- We're not trying to trick you.
- Honest? Honest.
He wants to ask you out.
But he said every time he approaches you, you walk away.
So he asked me to ask you.
That's all that's going on here, I swear.
Well, if he's seriously interested Trust me, he's seriously interested.
Wow.
That would be great because in my estimation, Mike Pierce is a real human being.
Yeah, he is.
And he's smart.
He's like one of the smartest guys in the senior class.
Intelligence is so sexy, don't you think? And he's creative.
He's a musician.
He plays piano.
I've never heard him play, but Wow, Mike Pierce.
Yeah, Mike Pierce.
And bonus, he reminds me of Steve McQueen.
I love Steve McQueen.
Wait, wait, wait, flag on the play.
Weren't you going out with Mike? We tried, but no chemistry.
We're still friends, though.
Very good friends.
So, he can go out with someone, have it not work out and still be friends? That shows a lot of character.
Of course you have to take into account the gossip factor.
Believe me, if I cared what other people said, I wouldn't get up in the morning.
Tell Mike I'd be absolutely thrilled to go out with him.
That's who Mike wants to go out with? Yeah.
Mike obviously sees beyond physical appearance.
I respected him before, but I really respect him now.
You missed out on a great guy, Luce.
We're still friends.
Yeah, but the prize goes to Elena.
Elena's definitely the winner.
Mike is going to fix me up with a friend of his.
I, too, could be a winner.
You're kidding yourself if you think there's another Mike Pierce on this planet.
I realize that.
I just realized it a little too late.
Besides, he said I kiss like his sister.
Right.
Let him go.
Learn from your mistake and move on.
All right, all right.
I'll let it go.
Learn from my mistake and move on.
Hey, you want to join me for a cup of coffee? I, I don't have time.
Why don't you just tell me what the cup of coffee is about? It's not about anything, other than I-I feel like all you kids always go to your mother, you know, and you don't come to me anymore for anything.
So, you think we all love Mom best? I wouldn't put it like that.
You're jealous of Mom? Yeah, I'd put it like that.
Well, it sounds like a problem between you and her.
Shouldn't you be talking to her? I should, but I'm talking to you.
Why? Because I just needed to hear myself say it out loud and now that I have, well, it sounds ridiculous, so never mind.
I just thought that maybe if I talked about my own feelings of pettiness and jealousy with you, that you might talk to me about Robbie.
I'm not jealous of Robbie.
Yes, you are.
I'm not.
I'm jealous of John.
Dr.
Richards, you have a call on extension 25.
I'm starting to feel like Lucy did at 13.
Yeah, I am, too, only now of course, Lucy is, well, more confident than either of us.
- Nice talking to you.
- Same here.
And let us never speak of these things again.
Yes, never.
Hey, oh, watch this.
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Mama.
That doesn't bother you, does it? Uh, no, it doesn't bother me at all.
Did Mary ever call Matt "mama"? Did Lucy ever call Mary "mama"? Uh-uh.
Did Simon ever call Lucy "mama"? No! Did I ever call Simon "mama"? No! Mama.
Mama.
Oh, please for the love of Mama just say it! I've been looking for you all over.
I've wanted to thank you for talking to Elena.
How'd you know? I just talked to her.
She found me after lunch.
We have a date for tonight.
I'll wait for you at the car.
She's even nicer than I thought.
Did you know she's a musician? She plays violin and she's in community theater and she's smart.
She wants to become a doctor, and colleges are actually coming after her.
Isn't that great? Yeah.
Great.
What, is something wrong? Now that wasn't like kissing your sister.
It wasn't, was it? No, but But what? I'm still going to go out with Elena.
But, but the kiss? The kiss came too late.
Sorry, Luce.
Yeah, me, too.
What did you do? I didn't do anything.
You did something.
Elena stood me up.
I waited for her for an hour at the Promenade and she didn't show.
I didn't do anything.
Did you say something to her after I talked to her? No, I swear.
What? You didn't say anything to Elena, did you? Why would I do that? What would Simon say to Elena? Maybe he'd say that after I talked to Elena, I realized how much I cared about you.
And that I wanted another chance to go out with you.
And that I'm jealous.
I thought that's why you kissed me.
I didn't realize what I had until it was gone.
No, I think it's more like you didn't want something until someone else wanted it.
You fix this, Luce, or we're not going to be friends.
We're going to play pool.
Yeah, you want to come? Uh, it looks like you're doing a brother night out thing.
I don't want to interfere.
I've gotten enough from the Camden's without horning in on family relationship and friends.
John said something to you, didn't he? No.
My dad? If you've got a problem with me, you don't have to go tell John or your dad or Simon.
Simon? No one said anything.
You've been more than your usual extremely unfriendly, hostile self lately.
And I have no trouble figuring it all out by myself.
You know, maybe it wasn't such a good idea I went out with John last night.
You know, but John needed to get out.
I think he's having a hard time since you left.
He doesn't want to admit it.
It's not easy living with a woman.
- It isn't? - It isn't? No, it isn't.
I know from experience.
Well, I'm very interested to hear about all that when you have the time.
No, he'll have the time when you're like 18.
Any particular reason.
John's finding it hard to live with Priscilla? Talk to John.
Maybe I will.
So, he misses me? I think he does.
Well, if you need to talk to John, then Robbie and I can go shoot some pool, talk, and you can catch up with us later.
Well, only if that's okay with Matt.
It's okay with Matt.
You know I'll meet you later, thanks.
- Maybe you should ask your mom.
- Yeah.
Ask me what? Is it okay if Simon and I go to the pool hall.
I thought Matt was going to go.
Well, I'm going to meet them later.
It's okay.
Have fun.
What's wrong with you? Nothing.
My own children won't call me Mama, that's all.
Mama.
Ow.
Sam and David.
Oh, I Oh, did I mention that they're calling Ruthie "mama"? Ruthie she's their sister, and I'm their mama.
Yeah.
So, you're jealous of Ruthie.
No, I'm not jealous of Ruthie.
I'm jealous of Dada.
They call your father "dada.
" And he's not with them nearly as much as I am.
Did you know that you said dada first? So did Mary and Lucy and Simon and Ruthie.
But you see, Sam and David said mama first.
And now they won't say it to me.
It was a gift and now they've taken it back.
It's just not fair.
I pour my soul out to you and your response is laughter.
I'm laughing because you're jealous of Dad and Dad's jealous of you.
What? Dad thinks all of us kids love you best.
What? Now he thinks that we all go to you to solve our problems.
Well that's because your father's busy solving everyone else's problems.
And I do whatever I can to lighten the load.
Which includes trying to help you and everyone else around here.
Don't explain it to me, explain it to Dad.
No, wait, on second thought, don't explain it to Dad, he told me not to say anything.
Well, because being jealous made him feel so Lucy.
Really, he'd be upset with me if you said anything.
I understand.
I'll find a way to bring it up.
A way that won't tip him off to the fact you ratted him out.
You don't lie well.
You know that, don't you? I'm not going to lie.
I'm going to finesse the truth.
I don't know if you're really that good at finessing.
Trust me.
I do, but, I think I'll go out just the same.
I'll be right back.
Can I talk to you? I'm Lucy Camden's brother, Simon.
It's okay.
I might want to hear this.
I saw you at the car and I know you saw them.
Are you in on whatever pathetic scam this was? Honest, it wasn't a scam.
This is what happened.
When Lucy talked to you, you made Mike sound like such a great guy, she started to have second thoughts about giving him up.
Not that he's her property to give or to keep.
So, I'm somehow responsible? No, no, not at all.
It's just that Lucy got jealous when Mike wanted to go out with you.
Jealous of me? Lucy Camden was jealous of me? Why not? Mike is interested in you.
He's no longer interested in Lucy.
Yeah, why is that? Between you and me he said kissing her is like kissing his sister.
It didn't look like a kiss between brother and sister today after school.
I know you saw them.
But I had a feeling you'd deal with it.
Give Mike or Lucy a chance to explain.
I just couldn't take it if you were all goofing on me.
I'm telling you the truth.
Mike is interested in you.
He only likes Lucy as a friend.
Lucy just let her emotions get the best of her today.
She does that sometimes.
Not as much as she used to.
But, believe me, she's got some pretty big emotions.
Let me get Robbie to drive us back to the house right now so you can talk to them.
Okay, but my parents can drive us.
Yeah.
I have something to confess.
I'm afraid you've got the wrong church.
Seriously, um, I am feeling really overburdened.
You know, I'm trying to go back to school.
I've got two babies, and a whole gaggle of other children from ten to 21, and they're all constantly coming to me with their problems I just can't handle it right now.
But I told Matt that my problem is that the kids aren't coming to me with their problems, not that you're not coming to me with the kids' problems.
But, uh, thanks for trying to make me feel better, Mama.
That's not funny.
Come on, we're both being a little oversensitive, aren't we? Why are we like this? Uh, I think it's because there's been some shifting since Mary left.
We both felt needed when we were pulling together to help Mary.
Now that she's gone, I think we just need to give ourselves a chance to settle a bit.
We're both a little insecure.
We'll probably stay that way till Mary's okay again.
Still this mama thing is getting to me.
All the kids said dada first, all of them, except Sam and David.
Yeah, I know.
You don't have to gloat.
You're still gloating.
You know it's polite to knock.
If you're going to make out on top of the desk, it's polite to lock the door.
What's up? I thought you were at the pool hall.
I have a problem.
Well, I don't have a problem, Lucy's friend, Elena, she has a problem.
She's in the living room.
I brought her here so she could talk to Lucy.
Where's Lucy? Out with Mike looking for Elena.
It's it's all a big misunderstanding.
And you want me to help? It's kind of complicated.
It's right up your alley.
Well.
Does it hurt? Mostly my heart and my ego.
How do you get it? It's hereditary.
You get it from genes.
Like, if your mom or your dad, or your uncle or your aunt had it, you can get it.
So, how do you get rid of it? In my case I can't.
I've tried every kind of pill, lotion, cream, but nothing works.
Maybe in a few years my acne will clear up on its on.
That happens.
Unfortunately, it usually happens in your 20s.
That's a long time from now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Mike really likes you.
How do you know that? I know practically everything around here.
I hear practically everything around here.
I'm very quiet and sneaky.
But I'm honest.
Matt, come in.
Uh, I couldn't find John at the hospital.
Is he? What is this, Benihana? What? Uh, the only thing missing is that grill that seats ten.
Why would you do this to this apartment? I just made it more me and John and less you and John.
Nothing in this place is John.
He must hate it.
He loves it.
Well, he's lying.
He wouldn't lie to me.
Where is the toaster and the coffeemaker and the trash can.
Everything's put away.
Where are the bunk beds? Where's John suppose to sleep? John doesn't like sleeping on the floor.
He did last night.
What do you know that John loves sleeping up high so much that he bought his old bunk beds from his mother? He has a whole theory about the air being best next to the ceiling.
And you're trying to tell me that he likes this little pad on the floor.
Even if he likes it, he'll break it.
I mean, this furniture is for tiny people.
John's a big guy.
Big guys don't live on tiny furniture.
Why does this make you so happy? You're kidding, right? No.
Because John's miserable.
And that makes you happy? Oh, yeah.
You know, I am totally jealous and afraid that my best friend's going to get married and totally forget about me.
Now I know he'll never forget about me.
He'll always remember me because every day he'll come home to this place and think what happened to the guy with all the big furniture? I'm sorry.
Having acne forced me to look past my appearance and realize there's more to me than just acne.
Um, first chair violinist in the all-state orchestra.
I have a 4.
0 grade average.
I'm funny.
I'm attractive.
I'm me.
And I've realized all this because I have acne.
So, really, when you think about it, it's a blessing.
And when I go to college, I'd like to be a dermatologist.
So I can find a cure for this blessing.
If no one beats me to it, and I hope they do.
So, you really don't need me at all, do you? No, Simon just asked if I'd share my problems with you.
I'll leave you three alone.
I saw you two kissing today.
What's going on? I wasn't kissing.
I was receiving.
It's true.
This whole mess is my fault.
I was jealous and desperate and I didn't want to give up.
Simon told me everything.
Apology accepted.
Thanks.
I don't deserve it, but thanks.
I think you owe me an apology.
You stood me up.
What if we go out and get an ice cream? Then that would count as the aforementioned date.
And you would no longer owe me an apology.
Thanks, Luce.
Are we still friends? Yeah, good friends.
Why didn't you tell me you hated this place? Is this how our marriage is going to be? I do things you don't like and you're going to lie to me? Matt said you liked the old bunk beds.
And the furniture is too tiny and you don't like sleeping on the floor.
Apparently, Matt knows what you like.
You're not afraid to talk to him.
Maybe you should marry Matt.
Actually, I think that's what he wants anyway.
He's absolutely giddy that you're so unhappy with me.
I'm sorry? I should have said something to you, but you worked so hard, I just didn't want to hurt your feelings.
And I'm very happy with you.
It's the apartment that I'm not so crazy about.
Come on, baby, I love you.
Don't be mad at me.
Okay.
I'm sorry, too.
I should've talked to you before I changed the whole apartment.
So, what are we going to do? Well, we're gonna live happily ever after with the girl of my dreams in a little Japanese apartment.
And then, maybe someday, we'll open up a Benihana.
I'm sorry I interfered with Elena, but when I saw her at the pool hall with her parents You were right.
And no one would have gotten hurt if I had just thought about what you said and hadn't acted so rash by kissing Mike at school.
I have to get used to this side of you the giving-good-advice side.
Mama, mama.
Mama, mama.
Why do they do this, why? Someone, please answer me.
Why do my babies keep calling Ruthie "Mama?" Because Ruthie taught them to do that.
She gives Sam and David a cookie every time they call her Mama.
Excuse me.
Why didn't you tell Mom about this sooner? Because I didn't know that Sam and David calling Ruthie "Mama" bothered her.
Hey, where's Simon? Uh, he left with some girl.
What? He didn't pick her up, he brought her back to your house to talk to Lucy.
So you've been just sitting here all night by yourself? Yeah.
Why? I didn't want you to show up and have no one be here.
Well, I'm sorry for being late.
I went to see John at the apartment, but he wasn't there.
So I gave up and went to the hospital, but I missed him there, too.
How's the apartment? It's more of a dojo than an apartment.
I heard it's very Japanese.
Yeah, he must really love her if he's willing to live in a place like that.
Lookie here, it's the loose lips convention.
I called the house, Simon told me I could find you here.
I need to talk to both of you.
Oh, no problem.
Can we talk while we play pool? By the way, I just love what Priscilla's done with the apartment.
Me, too.
- Liar.
- Oh, yeah.
Ooh.
Come on out.
I know you're in here.
How did you know I was here? I didn't.
I've been going into every room saying that.
I knew eventually I'd come to a room where you were.
Why did you do it? Why did you teach the twins to call you "Mama?" Is it because I'm going to school and with everything I have to do around here, you were feeling left out? Did you do it to get my attention? Do you think we're not spending enough time together? What? You can tell me.
I was goofing on you.
What? It was a joke.
I didn't think you'd take it so seriously.
Sorry.
Goofing on me? So it was a joke? You're not angry with me for not spending more time with you? For going to school? For having the twins? We spend plenty of time together.
I like the twins and you like school.
Honest.
When I'm angry at people, I tell them.
I'm not angry at you for anything.
You're a great mom.
I was just bored.
Really? Yes, really.
It was pretty funny.
They're easier to train than Happy.
Don't ever do it again.
I apologized, and Mike and Elena are out on their date.
The date they were supposed to be on until I got involved.
Oh, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.
You made a wrong, but you turned it into a right.
Thanks.
Do you think I'll ever find someone? Yes, definitely.
Probably when you least expect it.
How do I do that, least expect? I expect.
No, actually, I want.
I want a guy.
I don't want to want one, but I do.
I've got all this fun senior stuff coming up Valentine's, senior prom, graduation.
I want a guy for all that.
What are you going to do while you wait for the guy? I've got classes and friends and family and Habitat for Humanity.
Right.
Luce you've got a life, with or without a guy.
When you do get a guy, he'll be the luckiest guy in the world because he gets you.
Thanks.
You're an only child, too? That's why I want to have a house full of kids when I get married.
I want a lot of kids, too.
- How many? - Five.
Five, nothing.
I want a dozen.
I could handle a dozen.
Maybe two.
Do you want something to drink? Why not? Hi, can I talk to Lucy Camden? I'm Lucy Camden.
I'm Jeremy.
A friend of Mike Pierce.
Mike told you about me, right? He was going to fix us up? I'm sorry to come by so late, but I just got Mike's message, and I didn't want you to think I wasn't interested.
I work on Friday nights and well, I I think I'm talking too much.
Maybe I should just go home and call you and do this properly.
No.
No, no.
Don't go anywhere.
Come in.
Please, come in.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
You're really pretty.
There's a lot more to me than looks.
I bet there is.
It's late, but I could make you some cocoa and we could talk.
Lead the way.
