7th Heaven s07e03 Episode Script

We all want inner peace.
The problem is, how do we get it? How do we silence the conflict, the warring sides, the voices that argue within? Do it.
Don't do it.
Say something.
Don't say anything.
Relax, everything's fine.
Take action, or something bad is gonna happen.
You know the voices.
We all know the voices.
As As children, as adults, as sons, as daughters, as parents.
It important for me to be different than I am.
I should improve myself.
Hey, what's wrong with me? Why should I change? It's everybody else who needs to change.
It's important for me to have my way and I'm going to get my way by complaining.
Oh, no, don't.
Don't complain.
You better off just going with the flow, try to please everyone else or you'll never get what you want.
Okay, and what about this duo? I have my rights and I'm gonna stand up for my rights.
On the other hand, I I better just do what my authorities tell me to do.
It's It's like the old cartoon with the devil on one side and the angel on the other, only it isn't always so clear as to which side is right and which is wrong.
Life is complicated.
Like when do we interfere with our children and when do we just let them go off and make their own mistakes? When do we go by the book? And when do we realise our children aren't in the book? And when do we take matters into our own hands and when do we turn them over to God? When you cannot quiet the voices, when you find yourself torn apart with indecision, sometimes the best way to get to that quiet place where the answers can come through is just to observe your thoughts.
Whatever those thoughts are, let them come, and go.
Just be aware of them.
Shed light on them.
And the source of that light will And the source of that light will Eric, dryer! Just a second, hon! The source of that light will The door is closed.
That means I'm working.
Why can't she see I'm working? No, no, no.
No, it's not Annie's fault.
It's my fault.
I I could go down to my church office but then I'd run into Lou.
Eric, I'm feeding the boys.
You know those are jeans.
They're going to get wrinkled.
I'd better get the jeans.
On the other hand, they're just jeans.
This is my sermon.
Hi.
I'm sorry, were you writing? It's just that you said to yell if I needed help, and I need help.
I just got a little carried away here.
I'm coming.
- Okay, love you.
- I love you too.
But sometimes you just drive me - Ahem.
Crazy.
Reverend, Mrs.
Camden.
Publisher's Clearing house? I think your daughter is, um, dating my son.
He's too old to have a son young enough for Ruthie.
Kevin's father is deceased.
I'm Jack's dad.
Jack Smith.
Captain Jack Smith.
The airline pilot your daughter Mary seduced? He thinks my daughter seduced his son? Would you like to come in? Yeah, come in pal.
Because I'd like to kick your Be nice.
So, uh, Ken Smith.
Uh, now why does that name sound so familiar? I'm in the real estate business.
I own a lot of real estate.
Specifically, I own all the real estate around your church property.
Well, that's, uh, a bit of a Of a coincidence, isn't it? That your son is dating my daughter and you own all the property here around my church? I didn't own it before.
I own it now.
And it's not a coincidence at all.
And it won't be a coincidence if I decide to resell it to whomever would be the worst possible neighbours for you and your congregation.
I'm not happy about your daughter dating my son.
You make that abundantly clear.
And we're not too happy about Mary dating your son either.
So, uh, looks as if we're all in complete agreement that the two of them would be better off with someone else.
I just don't think parents can always control these things with their adult children.
I think they should give it their best shot.
Don't you? - I am.
- And do you really think that threatening me is the best way to go about this? Do you really think that this situation called for buying up the property around the church? That's a little drastic.
Don't you think? Not to mention expensive.
How much do you think my son's worth to me? Let me just cut to the chase.
How can you possibly accuse Mary of seducing your son, when your son is old enough to be me? He's widowed.
He's vulnerable.
He finally fell in love with, uh, a wonderful, age appropriate woman, after years of grieving.
And then this woman he was in love with recently broke things off.
Next thing I know there's Mary the flight attendant, sitting on a rock in the sea of love.
And like a siren beckoning my son out into the storm, where I fear he'll hit his head on the rock she calls her heart.
I simply can't bear to see my son's heart broken again.
She's not really interested in him.
And even if she says she is, how many times has Mary claimed to have been in love in her young life? I hope we're not interrupting.
I want to know if we can take the boys to the park.
I'm not on duty until 3.
This is Mary's boyfriend's father.
You're not my father.
Our father's dead.
Who are these two clowns? You remember Jack Smith, the pilot that Mary's dating? This is his father, Ken.
He wants Mary to stop going out with Jack.
Oh.
- I think maybe we should be going.
- I don't.
I met Mary when she was engaged to Wilson.
Then I dated her, but she dumped me for your son.
So, if I were you I wouldn't worry about Mary and Jack.
What's going on? This is Mary's boyfriend's father.
He wants Mary and Jack to break up.
Yeah, don't we all.
That was Robbie, another one of Mary's old boyfriends.
Before me, after, and before Wilson.
He lives here.
So as you can see for yourself, Mary's not exactly serious with anybody.
Thanks for confirming my worst fears.
Have a nice day.
Oh.
Anybody care to tell me what happened to my hat? I had a hat.
- You boys have my hat? No.
What are you saying, they stole your hat? That hat was my father's.
He gave it to me the day Jack was born.
So what I'm saying is, I want my hat back.
And I want my son back.
And the sooner the better.
You'll be hearing from me.
Good day.
- Did you take the hat? No.
No.
- You don't have hat, do you? - No.
We don't have the hat.
You know I'm not even sure if he was wearing a hat.
What was that ugly thing you put on the table? Oh, right.
Oops.
- Hat gone away.
- No more hat.
Okay.
We have to find the hat.
Daddy's job and our church may depend on it.
- You sure you haven't seen the hat? - What hat? It's my fault that the hat disappeared? Let's find the hat, okay? I I said find the hat! Hey.
- Did you find out anything? - I don't know anymore than I did.
Everyone thinks Claire is pregnant, and everyone knows you were going out with her.
Can anyone who thinks that do the math? I went out with her just last week.
They think you went out with her last year, but no one knew.
They think you did this because everyone was calling you Virgin Camden.
I didn't do this.
I didn't do anything.
No one knows if there isn't anything or not.
Claire doesn't look like she's having a baby.
Then why is she wearing all those big clothes? She never wore them before.
And where did the cleavage come from? From wherever it usually comes from.
What if she is wearing big clothes? That doesn't mean anything.
I can't take it anymore.
If she shows up to my front door claiming I'm the father of her child after everything else that I've done, my life will be over.
I'm just gonna confront her.
You're just gonna walk up to her and ask her if she's having a baby.
- If it's waiting or asking, I'm asking.
- It's a little rude.
It's the only way I'm gonna end all the rumours.
Good luck.
Sam and David couldn't have possibly come up the stairs to the attic bedroom and hidden the hat and then walked all the way down the stairs through the kitchen into the foyer.
The timeline doesn't fit.
I just thought we could look around in here.
I just thought we might come across Mary's new address or something.
We have to save the church.
Heh.
So you're snooping in the name of God? I I just want to talk to her, face to face.
If I could get her back, I really would be saving the church.
You're the one who told me not to give up so easily.
- What are you reading? - Lucy's diary.
Put it down.
It might have information I need about Mary in it.
Could be vital to my game plan.
Or it might just be interesting.
- Put it down, it's private.
- Here's something about you.
Ah, don't make me tear this, she'll know we were looking at it.
- I wasn't looking at it.
- You don't have to.
I'll tell you anything you should know.
I'm not having to do with this.
Look, there goes monkey lover.
Hey, monkey lover, where's your monkey? - Did you just call me monkey lover? - If the name fits.
I don't get it.
How does it fit? Don't you have a monkey for a boyfriend, monkey lover? Are you talking about Eisenhower, the chimpanzee who lives across the street from me? He's not a monkey, and I'm not a monkey lover.
But you look like a monkey lover to me.
Don't pay her any attention, Ruthie.
- Who told her about Eisenhower? - He did.
He told everyone in school you were a monkey lover.
I thought it was cool that you had a monkey over your house.
It's cool, for a monkey lover.
Maybe one day you can get a real boyfriend.
I am her real boyfriend.
You better stop calling her monkey lover.
- Or else? - Or else Ruthie's gonna punch you.
Punch me.
See what happens, monkey lover.
I don't think you're worth punching.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I was looking for a hat.
I'm sorry, I fell asleep.
How could you? That's my journal.
Those are my very private thoughts! - What is going on? - He was reading my journal.
- Ben? - I couldn't help it.
I thought there might be something in there - that would help me get Mary back.
- That's ridiculous! Like what? I don't know.
A A new address, a new phone number.
Oh, okay.
Let's not make too much of this.
You're just going to let him get away with this? - What's she going to do, spank me? - Okay, okay.
That's enough.
Uh, could you go pick Ruthie up at school? - Do you know where it is? - Sure, no problem.
Thanks.
He better not tell Kevin anything he read in this.
And what do you think the chances are of that? Surely he's not that immature.
So? You set off a passion she fears cannot be quenched.
- No kidding? - No kidding.
- What did he tell you? - Nothing I didn't know already.
- I want to know what he said.
- Aren't you a little old to keep a diary? So, I'm the problem? I'm the problem? Your brother was in my room, in my bed, reading my diary, yet he's not the problem, I'm the problem because I'm keeping a journal? That's not funny! That journal is a collection of my very private thoughts.
And I'm interested in your very private thoughts.
So talk to me.
Unh, what if I read your journal? I don't need to keep a journal.
I tell you what I'm thinking.
Is that right? So I know everything you're thinking, everything you're doing, - everything you've done? - I don't think I said that.
- Have you ever been with a woman? - A woman as opposed to? - Just answer the question.
- Where did that come from? I was just minding my own business, making a sandwich and now you want to know something like that? I really have to go to work.
I really want an answer.
I've wanted to ask for a long time.
Luce, I'm 25 years old.
I'm a police officer.
I'm a man.
I have a passion I fear cannot be quenched, ha, ha.
- Not funny! - I'll talk to you later.
Or maybe I'll just write a diary of my own.
Ben! - I was looking for you.
- Yeah, I figured.
When I went outside Mom wasn't there, so I came to the office to call, but the phone was busy.
Oh, look, the monkey lover's with a big ape now.
Heh, what did you say? She called you a big ape and me a monkey lover.
She's been calling me that all day.
Oh, yeah? Well, look here, munchkin, you better watch who you're calling names.
What's going on out here? That big scary man threatened me and he called me a munchkin.
Oh.
I don't recognise you.
Do you have a child at this school? Not exactly.
I I was picking up Ruthie for the Camdens.
I think he's lying.
Yes, I'm afraid we're going to have to call the police.
- Can we talk? - Is that really a good idea? People are talking about us.
People aren't talking about us.
They're talking about me.
- Everyone thinks I'm pregnant.
- They think I'm responsible.
Well, that's absurd.
We just went out last week.
Everyone thinks we went out last year, and that I Well, that we, you know So that people would stop calling me, what they were calling me.
Why did you ask me to go out with you every night last week? I I asked you because you were running a dating service and because I just wanted to get out of my parent's house in case anything happened.
Wh What do you mean in case anything happened? What would happen? - Are you - No.
I'm not pregnant.
There is no baby.
There can't be any baby.
You have no idea what my father is like.
He would kill me.
And I mean literally kill me.
Probably my mother too.
Claire, if you're really in trouble, then maybe my dad could There's nothing your dad can do.
There's nothing anyone can do.
I'll take care of it when the time comes.
Don't go.
Let me help you.
It's hard, you know.
You've got someone, Lucy's got someone, Simon's got lots of someone's.
It is so good to hear your voice.
I felt so stupid after I left that message.
Oh, well, I can't reach the Camdens, the line is busy, and I have no idea what's taking the police so long.
You might never get through to the Camdens.
They only have one phone line and no call waiting.
- It's true.
- I swear, everything I'm telling you is true.
I'm Mary Camden's old boyfriend.
I'm a fireman.
I came out here from Buffalo, New York.
I'm staying at the Camden's.
My brother lives in the garage apartment.
It's all on the up and up.
Yes, well, that will be for the police to decide.
My brother is a police officer.
Yes, I mentioned that to them when I called.
And yet, no police brother has appeared.
Okay.
I understand.
You can't be too careful.
Why would you come all the way out here from Buffalo if you're Mary's old boyfriend? I came out here to try to talk Mary into getting back together, and she broke up with me for some pilot she met.
Yes, well, I'd like to see what he looks like.
I can see you, Ruthie.
Oh, and I can see you too.
Did I tell you his father came by here? No, I'm not kidding.
Would I make up something like that? Do you know who Robbie's on the phone with? No, but hopefully it's someone he can fall in love with who will make him forget all about Joy.
Yeah.
Did you find the hat yet? Why does everyone think it's my job to find the hat? - Because you put it on the table.
- I didn't take it off the table.
Have you found Ruthie and Ben? Why do you think it's my job to find Ruthie and Ben? Because you're the mom.
You're the finder of all lost things.
Uh, did you find Simon? Well, I'm sure Ruthie talked Ben into an after-school field trip.
And I'm just as sure that Simon will be here any minute, because he knows it's school then home.
- And if he doesn't come home? - I'll call the police.
You mean Kevin? We can't just use him as our own private police officer.
Why not? We did it with Sergeant Michaels and he made detective.
- What are you doing here? - Nice.
Hi, Simon.
What can we help you with? I stopped by the library to do some research, but I couldn't find what I wanted.
It's kind of a legal thing I have to research so I was wondering if Kevin could help me.
Or I could help you.
I'll help him.
I've been calling Lucy for an hour, and someone at your house has the phone tied up.
Why can't your family move into the 21st century and get cell phones? - That was helpful.
- It's a church thing.
They have to approve everything if we want them to pay.
My parents feel it's a convenience we don't have to have.
So it's not a religious belief or anything? Think the Bible has something in it about phones? Told you.
Did you need something? Kinkirk, I thought you left a half an hour ago.
I'm going right now.
You're going to Ruthie's school, right? - Did you check your messages? - No, sir.
Again, told you.
The vice principal called.
She wants you to ID your brother.
He caused some kind of a problem when he picked Ruthie up at school.
Your brother's in town? Why didn't you tell me? Why would I? Kinkirk, you're wasting taxpayer money.
You think I'm not good enough to go out with your brother? I think he's not over Mary.
What are we running here, a dating service? I'll talk to you tomorrow.
What exactly do you need help with? It's just some research for my Biology class.
Look, if this is about a woman, Kevin might not be the best person to ask.
Research for Biology class, huh? I have to write a paper on that thing where women can just drop off their babies at the hospital without questions asked.
I need to know what states it's legal in, how it's done.
Stuff like that.
I don't have a computer.
I thought Kevin could help.
This is a school assignment? I haven't been able to reach my parents because someone's on the phone.
And I better be going.
They don't know where I am.
Simon, if someone needs to give up their baby in California, all they have to do is take the infant to the emergency room, fire station or police station.
That's all there is to it.
- No questions asked.
- Thanks.
It's just a paper.
I don't know anyone in trouble or anything.
Heh.
It's just that, I was supposed to go straight home, so if you could not mention that I came by, that would be good.
Simon, if you know a young woman who is so desperate that you feel she may actually harm her baby or abandon her baby, I'll help you in any way I can.
I'll talk to her, her parents, your parents.
No, you can't.
Not that there is such a woman.
Did you hide the hat in here? No.
Um Here? No.
- What about here? No.
No.
I hear your sister snooping around out in the hall.
I better go.
No, it's Lucy.
I won't, I promise.
And look, I really appreciate you taking the call.
I really needed to talk to you.
Goodbye.
Uh, tag.
You're it.
You take them.
I can't spend anymore time looking for that stupid hat.
Sure.
I'll see if I can get it out of them.
Could I ask you something about Kevin? What would I know about Kevin that you don't know? It's not a fact.
It's more of an opinion.
Do you think Kevin ever? Ever? Hold on, little ears right in there.
That's why I'm trying to be discreet.
So do you think he ever? - Don't you? - No, I I hope not.
- Did he tell you he never? - No.
- Then ask Kevin.
- I asked Kevin.
- And he said? - I didn't get an answer.
He just quoted something that Ben told him was in my journal - and ran out the door.
- Aren't you too old to keep a diary? It's a journal.
It's not a diary.
It's a journal.
And why does everyone keep asking me that? And why doesn't anyone ever say anything about Ben violating my privacy? I think my time is better spent looking for the hat.
Oh, finally.
Come in.
Hi, I'm Officer Kinkirk.
So, what's going on? - Just tell this woman I'm your brother.
- Wow.
- Not until I know what's going on.
- That's your brother? Officer, this man threatened one of our students and called her a name.
He only did it because she called him a big fat ape.
- Big ape.
- That's your brother? I have no idea who he is.
I can only vouch for the little one.
It's a Mrs.
Camden on line two.
Oh, thank goodness.
I'll take it outside.
You can join me, Ruthie.
Ruthie? You sure you want to marry into the Camden family? Um, I'm Roxanne, Kevin's partner.
Nice to meet you.
I may not get to marry into the Camden family.
Thanks to your reading her diary, Lucy now wants to know if I've ever been with another woman.
What does that have to do with reading her diary? I quoted that "desire that can't be quenched" line back to her - and it opened up a can of worms.
- Why did you do that? I don't know.
Why did you read her diary? Because he's a big ape.
We can go now.
I can't believe that's your brother.
- I'm not fixing you up.
- Yeah, well, who asked you? - Can I leave my cell phone number? - Oh, sure, just a second.
I'll get a pencil.
I don't know what's taking Simon so long to get home.
I know he's on restriction, but, um, we had to do some research for a class, um Claire? It's my fault.
Uh, I asked him to help me.
And Oh, he's on restriction, but he's still allowed to help people.
Oh, here he is now.
It's Claire, she said you're helping her with some research.
So help her.
- Hello.
- Simon, please tell me you have some good news, because I need good news right now.
- Did you find my hat? - No.
Uh, I I'm sorry, I didn't but I'm sure it'll turn up.
I hope so.
I really love that hat.
Why do I have a feeling this visit isn't just about the hat? Would you care to step into my office? Uh, it's okay, Reverend.
If I can just step inside here a minute, um I I guess I went a little crazy when I saw your daughter out with my son.
And I I guess I went a little crazy when I saw your son out with my daughter.
- He He's too old for her.
- And she's too young for him.
But young as she is, I know she's a good person.
And I can't tell you how grateful I am that she broke things off with my son, especially after I threatened you.
So there'll be no book store? No movies? No massage parlours? When it comes to family I I get a little nuts.
I've heard.
Look, all parents get a little nuts.
We just don't all have your money to go nuts with.
I just want to say I was wrong about your daughter.
You know she even talked Jack into asking for a transfer here, so we can be together more.
Get to know each other better, and see if we can't make that transition from father and son to friends, if that's possible.
Sounds like a good suggestion.
You know, it It doesn't seem to matter how old our sons or daughters get, they're still our children, and we still want what's best for them.
We just have to hope they want what's best for them.
Well, I feel like an idiot acting the way I did and I I thank you for being so understanding.
Not a problem.
Thanks for coming by.
And hey, if you ever want to drop by for a Sunday service.
I might just do that some Sunday.
Soon.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Uh, if you do find the hat.
- Of course.
Who was that? That was Ken with good news.
Mary broke up with Jack.
And even better, Ken thinks that I talked her into it.
If it wasn't you, then who is responsible for - getting Mary to break up with Jack? - I'm hoping Mary.
Have you talked to Mary since she's left? I've called, but I haven't talked to Mary.
We just heard that she broke up with Jack.
I figured she would.
Just like I'll probably break up with Kevin.
- Why? - Because Mary and I can't seem to make a commitment.
We're commitment nomads, running across the desert of love.
You're not Mary, okay, Luce? You're not Mary.
You can make a commitment.
Or you can keep looking for reasons not to make a commitment.
And this isn't a desert, this is real life.
Where you going? Oh, I'm going to study in the garage apartment where it's quiet.
You know even it's just to study, Luce, you think it's okay to hang out in Kevin's apartment when Kevin's at work and Ben's out and We're all our own worst enemy.
You know that, right? Yeah, I know that.
Hey, how was dinner? - It was great.
I had the biggest steak on the menu.
Hey, if you spent the afternoon in the vice principal's office through no fault of your own, you'd be hungry too.
I figured I was going to spend money on a big dinner with Mary and Mary's not here, and evidently she's not coming back, so why not? Why not? I'll tell you why not, my friend.
I just got word that Mary and Jack broke up, so maybe Mary will show up on our doorstep once more.
Even if she does, this was pretty much a farewell dinner.
I'm going back to Buffalo.
I called and begged the chief to let me have my job back.
Don't worry, I think we all know he'll be back.
He just doesn't know when.
Do me a favour.
The boys are hiding a hat.
See if you can find it.
No problem.
Good night and have a safe trip.
There and back here.
Are you sure you want to leave? I have to, uh, but I'm happy Mary broke up with Jack.
He was way too old for her.
You're not thinking of going back with your old girlfriend? - I'm going to give it a shot.
- Why not a new woman? Why not put a third choice into the mix? - Or a fourth or fifth? - Ha, ha.
It's probably like Ruthie said.
I I'm a lazy dater.
Dating it's just never been that much fun.
- Even for you? - Ha, ha.
Even for me.
- So when are you leaving? - Tonight, but I I don't want to make a big deal out of it or say any big goodbyes in case I do come back.
Goodbyes? - It's time for me to go home.
- I understand.
Thanks for everything.
You're welcome here at any time.
That's it? We're just letting him go knowing that Mary and Jack broke up? Well, maybe Mary will learn something.
I'm not telling him not to go to teach her a lesson, but still, she has to learn a few things about life before she can be in a relationship with Ben.
- Claire? - Yeah, it's me.
Simon, you have to come now.
I'm going to leave it in the phone booth that we talked about.
I have to go home.
Please, just wait for me to get there.
- Are you okay? - I'm not okay.
I I want to go home.
I have to go home now.
- Let me tell someone please.
- No.
Don't, Simon.
Don't.
I told you no one can know.
I was there when my mom had a baby.
How can you do that on your own? I don't have any other choice.
- Are you coming or not? - Yes, I'll be there.
Don't panic.
It's okay.
Let me take you and the baby to the hospital.
No! I'm not going.
I can't.
- You do it.
- Me? Don't you want to do it? Don't you want to make sure your baby's safe? I have to go.
I have to go somewhere.
A friend's in trouble.
If I don't go to help her, I'll never be able to look at myself in the mirror again.
I just have to give her a ride to a safe place.
That's all it is.
I'm not in any danger.
I'm not doing anything wrong or illegal.
It's nothing like that.
I just have to help her, and that's all there is! - Is this about Claire? - I'd rather not say.
- Let him go.
- Do you want me to go with you? Do I want you to go with me? Yes, I want you to go with me.
But you can't! I have to be a grown-up tonight.
All right, son, but if you need me Are you sure we shouldn't follow him? We can't follow him.
All right, but I I I have a feeling we should do something.
What happened to snooping around my apartment? Ben talked me out of it, probably because he needed a ride to the airport.
So I hear you introduced him to Roxanne.
No.
She was with me when I got a call to go to Ruthie's school.
And then you introduced them to each other? She introduced herself.
Why do you keep introducing her to every guy you know? Ha, ha, I don't.
Look, I can't stay.
I just came by to tell you that I love you, and even if you've been with another man, I still love you.
That won't work.
I haven't been with another man.
That's personal information I don't need to know.
I have to go.
This isn't over.
You have to put your pyjamas on.
Come on, it's late.
- Do you want the hat? - Yes, I want the hat.
Ah That's very good.
Don't ever do it again.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
Hmm When you only have two choices, that's called a dilemma, and it's hard to make a decision when you feel forced to go to this side or that side and no place between or beyond.
Get in the car and go find Simon.
Trust that Simon will do the right thing without your being there.
If she calls, don't say anything to Mary about Jack.
I can't do that.
I have to tell her how proud I am.
Oh, sorry, I didn't want to interrupt.
It's okay.
Come in.
I was just, uh, thinking out loud.
I talked to Mary.
She and that guy broke up but you know that, right? Mrs.
Camden said.
Well, but I didn't know you talked to her.
You talked her into it? You know Mary.
You can't talk her into anything she doesn't want to be talked into.
Is she coming home? She still wants to live in Fort Lauderdale away from everyone, where she can make her mistakes on her own without having anyone in the family involved.
- You think she'll call? - Yeah, she'll call.
Or I could call her? - Or? - Or? You were saying it's more of a dilemma than a choice if you can only do one thing or another? Well, yes, I did say that.
So, I'll have to come up with some more choices.
- You could write her a letter.
- Well, yes, I could.
But I don't have the address.
I don't think she'd mind if I gave it to you.
You don't think she'd mind? She asked me to give it to you.
- Thanks.
- Good night.
- I'm giving up, I'm going to bed.
- What are you giving up on? On finding out whether or not Kevin's ever slept with another woman.
And if he's slept with another woman, you're breaking up with him? I was.
But maybe I won't.
Because? Because I don't want him to pack his bags and go home like Ben.
- What? - I have a feeling this isn't over.
I'm going to try.
- Late night meeting? - No.
I'm going to bed.
I hope I'm better at relationships than Mary and Lucy.
I think you will be.
So, what happened exactly at school this afternoon that got you that steak dinner? My boyfriend tried to get me to punch this girl, Linda, because she called me a monkey lover.
I just walked away.
But then Ben came to pick me up from school and we ended up in the vice principal's office anyway.
You know what I like about this story? I like that you didn't do something just because a boy you like told you to do it.
Yeah.
I wanted to.
But it's hard when you have to come home and face parents like mine.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
And don't worry.
Simon will grow up.
Lucy will end up with Kevin.
And Mary will come home again.
And Matt will graduate from medical school.
So you can go to bed and stop worrying about that stuff.
Thanks and good night.
You're welcome and good night.
You are keeping an eye on Simon, right? Well, I'm afraid this is it.
But you're going to be fine.
You're going to be just fine.
There are lots of parents out there who are looking for babies just like you.
Your mom just can't take care of you, that's all.
She wants you to have the best life can offer.
And that's a family.
I want to drop off this baby for safekeeping.
God bless.
