Go out there and do what you have to do.
He loved you.
No matter what, he loved you.
You know that.
How was he? He was just hungry and wet.
He's okay now, though.
- What time is it?-- - It's 4:30.
I can't decide if I should stay awake and study or if I should go back to sleep.
I know.
I feel like I should go back to bed, but we've been up for so long, It feels like it should be daylight already.
- I'm sorry, Mom.
-- - It's okay.
I'll be apologizing to you soon enough for the same thing.
Did David call? No.
I don't know what time his flight is getting in.
He said it would be late.
Well, he didn't tell me.
He had his assistant call and tell me.
Oh.
I have a feeling he's avoiding me.
Yeah, he's kind of immature,you know? oh.
What's going on? Ashley said your light's been on for hours.
What is Ashley doing up? Twilight Zone marathon.
Everything okay? She has school tomorrow.
It's the weekend.
It's not the weekend.
Tomorrow's Friday.
No, actually it's today.
Today is Friday.
Well, no one does anything on Fridays, do they? Yes.
It's the same as any other school day.
Not according to Ashley.
I'm just kidding.
We both fell asleep in the living room at 7,woke up at 3, so we decided to get up.
At 3:00? That's right.
That's living the life.
Going to be when you want and going to bed when you want.
What, are you rubbing it in? Rubbing what in? What's wrong? Who's sick? No one.
John was crying.
What was he crying about? He just cries.
He's a baby, okay? Okay with me.
I don't live here.
Hey, is anybody hungry? How about a scrambled eggs and bacon sandwich? Hash browns? Mmm.
- You got eggs and bacon?-- - Everything's right where it's always been.
Like he can get through to where everything's always been.
Why's this place so messed up all the time? Because I'm in high school and I work.
Mom works, too.
Well, you've got three hours before you leave for school.
You could clean now.
I didn't go to bed at 7.
I'm tired.
Oh, and crabby.
Don't forget crabby.
Yeah, you're crabby.
Your mom's crabby.
Because you miss us, huh? - We miss Ashley.
-- - You miss Ashley.
Oh, thanks.
You know,are you gonna be like this for the next 18 years, or do you think you might start enjoying the kid at some point? - Ashley!-- - Amy! - George!-- - Anne! I think she has a point.
Ashley has a point.
Sooner or later, Ames, you gotta start enjoying life again.
John can tell you're not happy and that's why he cries.
Get happy.
And how am I supposed to do that? I think I'm gonna throw up.
And then I'm gonna go back to bed.
Good night.
I'm gonna go back to bed, too.
Just leave my egg sandwich on a plate in the microwave.
No bacon for me.
But I'll take the potatoes.
Thanks, Dad.
They're a mess,the two of 'em.
Yeah.
Nothing we can do about that.
Sure there is.
We can clean up some of this mess.
And tomorrow we can find some way to get Amy's mood up.
Make her laugh or something.
She's gotta lighten up.
Get happy.
And Mom? Are we gonna try and make her happy, too? That's not my job anymore.
That's David's job.
Is it? He's her boyfriend.
He's the father of her baby.
Oh, yeah? Why, what do you know? What do you know? Nothin.
Fallin' in love The Secretlife of the American Teenage s02e04 Is such an easy thing to do Birds can do it, we can do it So let's stop talkin', let's get to it Let's fall in love We'll just hang out.
I don't mind hanging out again.
We hang out every night.
I'm tired of hanging out.
But I'm too tired to do anything but hang out.
Then we can go to dinner.
We can take John with us.
No, we can't take John with us.
I'm not taking him out until he's three months old.
You took him to the doctor's office.
Could a restaurant be more germy than a doctor's office? That's not the point.
I don't want to take any chances.
Can Ricky or your mother or your sister babysit? I doubt it.
They all have lives.
Then we'll just hang out.
And I'll bring over dinner.
Or we can try cooking dinner.
After I get home from work, we're going to cook dinner? Well, we have to eat, don't we? We have to learn how to cook.
I'll just, uh-- I'll talk to you at school.
I gotta get up, or I'm gonna be late.
All right.
I'll see you at school.
- Hi.
-- - Hi.
Didn't mean to overhear,but I thought we should talk.
Yeah,I've been trying to talk to you.
but every time I see you,you're with Betty.
I have spent a lot of time with Betty this week.
I needed to spend a lot of time with Betty this week.
uh,I needed to be around another adult.
Someone I could talk to.
About me? Listen, Dad, I'm sorry about quitting the butcher shop.
I tried to go back, you know.
I know.
But you wanted to make it on your own, and there's nothing really wrong with that.
I took what I had, and I turned it into something more-- not just for me but for my family.
You want to start from nothing? Start from nothing.
Go ahead.
Dad, I said I was sorry.
I know.
And I'm sorry,too.
I'm sorry I let a week go by before telling you that's not how you leave a job that someone's given you.
Yeah.
Not just someone,but you.
Yeah, me.
The guy who loves you most in the world.
Dad, I'm sorry, and Can I have my job back? Please? You sure you want your job back? I need a job.
A job isn't easy to get.
- Have you been looking?-- - Not really.
I was hoping you'd forgive me and give me my job back.
Forgive you for For sounding like it was a burden to have the privilege of growing up with money and certain opportunities,like having a family business to work at.
Even when you're not that good at it.
Good answer.
I like that answer.
You can have your job back.
And I have a proposal for you.
Okay, great.
I'll do whatever you ask of me.
But please realize that I'm not that good at handling meat or knives or blood.
You're good with customers.
That's what Bunny told me.
You're good at remembering what customers like, while,whether it's at the counter or repeat mail order.
- I am?-- - Yep.
So I've been thinking.
How would you like to go to Italy this summer? To Bologna? On a vacation? No, to work.
We have family there.
I went there the summer before I met your mother when I was 13.
It was a blast.
I loved it.
What would I do there? Work at your uncle's hotel.
It's a small hotel,very nice.
But I bet you'd be really good with the clientele.
They got a lot of Americans.
Me go to Bologna and work at a hotel? Yeah.
I think it'll be good for you to get away.
Could Amy and John go with me? I think that'd be really good for Amy to get away from everything.
I mean,she's really stressed right now.
I'll have to ask, but Do you really want to take Amy and the baby with you? You think it might be good to have a couple of months to just have some time to yourself? I'd think about that, Ben.
You have your whole life to spend with Amy and John.
And she might be just as stressed in Bologna as she is here.
Maybe more so since you'll be the only one there to help her out.
Yeah, maybe.
I'll miss ya, but I think it'll do you good.
And you have Betty here, so you'd be okay, right? More than okay.
Oh, by the way, does Betty know the Bowmans? Does she know Grace's brother? He seemed to recognize her at the funeral.
She's very friendly,Betty.
Tom, you didn't have to cook again this morning.
I was trying to get down here early so I could cook for you.
What's the matter? Are you tuff of my cooking? No, not at all, honey.
I just need to do something.
I need to be busy.
I'm feeling a little blue.
Still? Still.
I think it's gonna take me longer than a week.
It might take me longer than a year.
It might take me a lifetime.
Don't get me wrong.
I miss Dad.
But as Pocahontas said, all must die.
You know, Tom, that's not exactly comforting at a time like this.
All must die? But it's true.
We all die sometime.
And you know he went to heaven.
And you know you will see him again.
Have a little faith.
Honey, I'm gonna need more than a little faith to be where you are with this.
You have been really strong.
Grace.
Good morning.
You look beautiful,sweetheart.
Yes, you do.
What happened? I don't know.
I just decided I'm gonna go to school today.
It's Friday.
If you want to wait until Monday.
That'll be okay.
I was thinking today that maybe we could all go talk to Reverend Stone.
You know, just kind of check in with where we are,where we want to be, how we want to handle things.
Get help if we need it.
- Talk.
-- - You and Tom can go.
I'm fine.
I don't need to talk to anybody.
I'm-- I'm better now.
Honey, we could talk to someone else if you'd like.
He gave me the name of a family grief therapist who wrote a really good book on family and loss.
I don't really want to grieve according to some book.
I'm okay.
I want to go back to school.
I want to be busy,really.
- Really?-- - Yeah.
I know it's gonna be hard, but I have to go back to school sometime.
And instead of waiting until Monday, I just thought I'd start now so at least I have the weekend before my second day back, in case today doesn't go so great.
Yeah, you're probably going to need the weekend.
Well, you're doing okay.
Why shouldn't I do okay? Because I didn't do anything, so I don't have any guilt.
- Tom.
-- - No, that's okay.
There's going to be plenty of that when I go back to school.
But you know what? I can do it.
There's only a month left of school and I can get through it.
I can.
I don't know how, but I know God will find a way to get me through.
Then go.
I will.
Have a little faith, remember? We all just have to have a little bit of faith.
You'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
Eventually.
I mean, besides, we can't wait until I'm 100%.
I don't know when I'll be 100%.
It could be years.
So I'm just gonna go get my stuff.
Does the guy who wrote the book on grief talk about using internet hookers? What? I saw Betty at the funeral.
She dropped Ben off at the church.
I was thinking maybe-- No! Absolutely not.
I was just trying to make you laugh.
Oh.
Okay, Tom, that was good.
You got me.
But were joking about Betty dropping off Ben? What, Ben and Betty? Yep.
Hello? Good morning.
This is Ben Boykewich.
Is this Adrian? Hey, Ben.
What's up? I was just, uh-- - I was wondering if-- - Oh, I'm not having sex with you.
Give Amy time.
Like in a couple of years, when she graduates high school, then she'll have sex with you.
Probably.
Uh, no, no.
I wasn't gonna ask you to have sex.
Although sex with you would be very nice, I'm sure.
Yeah, you can be sure of that.
What are you so nervous about? Are you sure you weren't gonna try and have sex with me? No, I wasn't calling you for sex.
I just, uh-- I need some advice.
About sex? No! No! I'm not having sex.
Not going to have sex until Amy is absolutely,positively ready to have sex.
And I love her,so I'll wait.
I'll wait as long as I have to wait.
And, as you pointed out, it could be a long time from now.
It could be after high school.
Way after high school, even.
After college.
I mean And whenever we do have sex£¬ I'm sure it'll have been worth the wait.
- Or not.
-- - Anyway,here's the thing, I don't really want anyone else to know about this.
Oh, whoa.
That's what guys always say.
Are you sure you're not trying to have sex with me? No.
I would never try because I don't want to try and fail.
I would fail, right? - Probably.
Yes.
-- - Could I get a definitely? Just for the record in case the idea ever popped in my head or anything.
- Definitely.
-- - Okay.
So it's just that I don't know how to present this opportunity to Amy in a way that she won't want to jump on it.
Spit it out.
I have to get to school.
I have an opportunity to go to Bologna, Italy, this summer, - and I was-- - Interesting.
You know what Bologna's known for, right? Bolognese sauce? Ha,ha,And other things.
I don't know what Bologna is known for, no.
We have relatives there.
It's just that if I tell Amy that she and the baby could go with me, I'm sure they'd want to go, and honestly,I think it's best if they don't.
It would be really difficult to be in Italy and not have sex with Amy.
Oh, don't you mean it would be difficult to be in Italy with Amy and have sex with someone other than Amy? No! No, I do not.
Honestly, I don't think it's the right time for Amy and I to go away right now.
And yet I don't want to hurt her feelings.
So I figured, hey, you're a woman.
Maybe you could tell me.
What should I say to Amy so that she doesn't hate me? - Is Ricky going with you?-- - What? Ricky? No.
So he'd be here with Amy for the summer.
The two of them alone without you? Yeah.
Then I hate you.
Amy! We have to leave now! We're late! What happened in here? Dad cleaned up.
Those your pajamas? You go to work like that? No, I'm gonna drive Amy and John like this.
Unless Oh, I can do it.
I don't mind helping.
I've tried to help as much as you two will let anyone help.
Thank you.
I could really use some more time to get ready.
- How you feeling?-- - Better.
Much better.
Thank you.
Won't you see if there's anything you can do for Amy.
Yeah, why don't I? And you two can talk.
Talk about what? Oh, I don't know.
Are you getting a dog? Is that what Ashley wants us to talk about? A dog? You're getting a dog.
I knew it.
George, you don't need a dog.
If you get a dog, you're not gonna be able to travel or go anywhere without having to worry about the dog.
That would be true if I weren't living next door to my ex-wife, who I'm sure would be happy to take care of the dog when I'm not here.
You love dogs, right? If you got a dog, I'd be willing to keep you dog when you travel.
- You and David.
-- - David doesn't like dogs.
Does he like children? I hope he likes children.
Yeah, he likes children.
But we can't take care of our baby and Amy and Amy's baby and your dog, so if that's your plan,think again.
- We're totally overwhelmed here.
-- - Really? I hadn't noticed.
Look, I appreciate you cleaning up.
I do.
Not enough to take care of your dog for you in return, but I do appreciate it.
Tell me something.
Where is your boyfriend? Why isn't he around here helping out? It's not his grandson.
It's our grandson.
I'm sure it'll be different when it's his baby.
Will it? I didn't see him here last night holding your hair back when you were puking your guts out.
That's what I used to do.
He's not even doing what I used to do, and I thought I set the bar pretty low back then.
He just got back from a trip last night, and he had to go to a job site.
Anyway, I'm older now.
I've been through this before.
I can take care of myself.
Uh-huh.
I can see that.
Did he call,see how you were? I'm fine.
It's just the sight of bacon that did me in.
Raw pig fat and pregnancy don't mix for me.
What are you getting at,anyway? What I'm getting at, is just because this guy is the guy who got you pregnant,it doesn't mean he's the right guy for you.
Any more than Ricky is the right guy for Amy.
Well, he's not Ricky.
Yeah, he is Ricky.
And I'm Ben.
Or I would be Ben if we were still in love.
But we're not.
It wouldn't make any difference if we were.
It's too late now,because unlike Ben, I'm not really interested in being the boyfriend to a girl who's having another boy's baby.
That was always the problem, wasn't it? I was always just another one of your girlfriends,not really your wife.
Let's go to school! Sorry about your dad.
And the other thing,you know.
I know just how you feel.
I lost my cat last year.
And my virginity.
My dad almost died, too.
It's okay.
I got your back.
Look, I know you haven't called me.
I know you haven't felt like calling anyone.
But - we're still friends-- - Grace! Hi,What's going on? What's going on is your boyfriend is going to Italy this summer.
Grace! Grace, it's me, George.
George Juergens.
Grace? Are you okay? Oh, it's okay.
Grace, it's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Better? You want to talk? Did someone say something to you at school? You wanna tell me what they said? First day back, huh? You know, there's only a month left of school.
Why don't you just stay home for now and go to summer school? I can't.
My mom said if I stay home I have to talk to somebody.
Sometimes it's good to talk to someone.
On the other hand, I'm not really big on talking to people about my problems.
You have problems? Well, not like your problems.
Maybe the opposite of your problems.
Yeah, your problems can't be as bad as my problems.
Nah, no one's d-- Dad? I'm sorry, Grace.
I know you were really close to your dad.
I just want to know where he is.
He's dead, Grace.
Yeah, but dead dead? Or is he in heaven somewhere? Where is heaven? I don't know.
But I'm pretty sure there is one.
So you believe in God? Of course.
You don't have to go to church to believe in God.
Or you can go to church and not believe in God.
Do you believe in God? I thought I did it.
But then he killed your dad? Yeah,I don't think it works like that.
I know it doesn't work like that.
And if it does work like that, well, then, darn it, God, strike me dead! See? Nothing.
And my daughter had sex with someone she hardly even knew.
.
So did my wife,for that matter.
If your dad was alive, he'd get over you having sex with Jack.
He might have gotten upset about it, but he would have gotten over it.
He was a nice guy, your dad.
Not that I knew him.
But that's what people say.
"Nice guy, Dr.
Bowman.
" He was the nicest.
I just don't know why I couldn't do what he told me to do or not do what he told me not to do.
it's tough to do the right thing.
Believe me, I've been there.
It's tough to forgive Jack.
Tough to forgive Adrian.
Even tougher to forgive yourself.
Yeah.
You just got to forget everything that could have been or should have been.
Forget everything.
but how much you love Jack and how much you love Adrian.
Because in the end, all we need is love.
- Beatles.
- Beatles.
I just don't know if I can love them like I did.
I guess what happened isn't their fault.
No, it's not.
And you know, Jack feels so bad about it, he started drinking.
He was drinking at your dad's funeral.
He's heartbroken.
- Wait, Jack is drinking alcohol? - Yeah.
I told him to lay off.
That's been done.
Teen and alcohol.
He should try teen and sober.
Teen and no alcohol or drugs or even sex.
I don't think Jack can go without sex.
So that's how it happened.
Trying to keep him away from all the other girls, huh? Well, I got news for you.
Guys aren't animals.
They're not completely ruled by their hormones.
They're animals with brains.
They can be trained to go without sex for long periods of time.
Just ask any guy who's been married for a few years and has kids.
You're funny.
I wish my Amy thought so.
I can't even get her to smile these days.
Mr.
Juergens, you really helped me by talking to me.
I feel a lot better.
I really do.
Do you want to tell me what your problem is? It might help.
I'm a good listener.
And it might make me feel better to help somebody else.
Especially you, 'cause you were so kind to listen to me.
All right.
I told my wife I got a certain surgery when I didn't.
Now she thinks she's pregnant by her boyfriend.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
Pray for me.
I was going to tell you.
I just wasn't ready to tell you.
How did she know? - Who? - Who? Did you tell people other than Adrian? Oh, no, Adrian.
Yeah, I told her.
I wanted to ask her advice about how to tell you so that I didn't upset you.
Why would you be getting advice from Adrian? Oh, I'll tell you why.
Because you were hoping to get more than advice from Adrian.
No, that's not true.
It's just you've been kind of tired and not in the best mood.
And I didn't want to upset you.
And she's very mature, Adrian.
Oh, yeah, right.
Amy, I love you.
But my uncle needs me.
Your uncle in Bologna? - Baloney! - No, no, no.
My uncle runs a small hotel there, and he really needs me to come in and work for him this summer.
It's a family thing.
I can make more money there than at the butcher shop.
And all I have to sacrifice is seeing you and John every day for a few weeks-- a couple months, tops.
Couldn't your dad just give you a raise at the butcher shop? Yeah, he could, but honestly, why would he? Other than I'm his son.
I'm not that good at it.
Amy, you know I want to invest some time in me and finding myself.
I want to be my own man.
And maybe I'll find something in Bologna, something in my uncle's business that's right for me.
Something that I can use my whole life that will benefit the two of us.
I can't believe you'd just take off for the summer.
Well, you could go too, but-- Really? Well, I mean, if you could take John with you.
??You'd have to take John out of the country, and you don't even want to take John out of the house.
Then I'll just leave John here.
He won't miss me for a few weeks.
He's too young.
But you just couldn't go off and leave him.
Well, it wouldn't be like I was going off and leaving him.
I have a family.
My family could help out.
Even if it's just for like a month.
I really need to get away.
What's up with those two? Ben's going to Bologna.
Italy? Leaving you here for the summer, alone with Amy.
Amy and John.
Not Amy.
Why Bologna? I've never heard him mention Bologna.
Well, he has an uncle he can work for there, but I don't think he's going for work.
Bologna's known for three things.
oldest university in the world.
And 3, it's known for oral sex.
Come on.
Every city in Europe is known for sex.
Same in Asia.
Every place but America.
No one seems to come here to America for sex.
Not willingly, anyway.
So Ben's dad is sending him to Italy to get Yeah.
Maybe I can go, too.
You can get that right here.
- So can he.
- Oh, what, from me? No, not from you.
You're not the only girl in this school having sex.
Half the girls here are having sex.
Yeah, and half are not.
Like Amy.
Let me ask you something.
Are you having sex with anyone other than me? - What? - Wrong answer.
Wai-- You're not available.
My dad's trying to get back together with my mom.
They're looking at houses.
And when we get a house, we can have our privacy back.
- And until then? - Until then you can wait.
And if you can't wait, then then don't come back around when we do get a house.
And I mean that.
Go.
Go with him.
Go to Bologna! Have sex that's named after rigatoni and spaghettini and fusilli.
What do I care? What? It's nice to have you back so quickly, you know.
You just got to get back up on the horse.
Oh, I'm referring to your dad, not the other thing.
Thanks for clarifying that.
It's always hard to know what to say, isn't it? I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
It's really nice that people care, that you care.
- Hi, Jack.
- Hi, Grace.
I didn't know if you were speaking to me or not.
Yeah, I'm speaking to you.
I'm speaking to everybody.
I'm really sorry about the way I've been acting.
Oh, no, no.
Don't apologize to me.
I was totally in the wrong here.
Wrong not to wait.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
No, the two of us made this decision.
And I think it was a bad decision.
I really do.
Even though you're the guy for me, and I love you, Jack, I had sex with you because I didn't want you to have sex with anybody else.
Grace, if you'll have me back, I swear I'll never have sex again.
Even when we're married? You still care enough about me to marry me? Yes, of course I do.
But you have to stop with the drinking thing right now.
Mr.
Juergens told me.
It was just beer.
I thought a couple beers would make it easier to get over you.
And over losing you and your dad.
And my dad, for that matter.
I thought I was over that, but I-- I don't think I'm ever gonna be over that-- losing my dad.
I still think about him all the time.
It's just been really painful lately and I'm sorry.
You're the only person that can say "I know what you're going through" and really mean it.
But I don't know if I can really say that.
I don't know what it's been like for you.
I only know what it's like for me.
And it's just been horrible.
I mean, for me and my mom and Tom and I just made it so much more horrible.
But now I have to dig a little deeper and find a little bit more strength and just do something honorable for my dad.
And other than that, I just don't think there's anything else we can do about losing our dads.
But there is something we can do about losing us.
I don't want to lose what we had.
And I'm in love with you, Jack.
And I want to be your girlfriend.
I just don't want to have sex again until I'm married.
And I expect you not to have sex again until we're married.
- Any kind of sex.
- I promise.
I won't have any kind of sex until we're married.
I'd do anything for you, Grace.
- And no drinking.
- No drinking.
- No drugs.
- No drugs.
Just us.
That's enough for me.
Can I give you a ride home? I'd like that.
Thank you.
So you're going to Italy to have sex, huh? Going all the way out of the country just to have sex.
Not even real sex.
More like foreplay.
I don't know that for sure.
Oh, yeah, you do.
You know, I can help you get laid here.
It's not about sex, okay? It's not about anything other than getting a summer job.
A summer job, huh? Come on, it's not about work.
It's about running away from your responsibilities and getting rewarded for it.
I thought you'd be happy I'm going.
I thought you'd be happy to have Amy and the baby all to yourself.
Amy said you asked her to go with you, so you'll have Amy and the baby to yourself.
Oh, yeah.
I did ask.
I don't know if they're going, though.
- I mean, I'd like for them to go, but-- - No, you wouldn't like for her to go.
I talked to Adrian, too, you know.
And why are you going to Adrian for advice? Because I wanted a woman's point of view.
And I thought she wouldn't tell anyone.
Why didn't you talk to your friend? What's her name, Alice? Oh, because Alice only knows what she reads in books, and Adrian's got some real-life experience.
That's why.
And that's what you want, Some real-life experience? You stay away from Adrian.
Stay away as in don't even talk to Adrian? - Because - Because.
Because you have real feelings for her? Because you don't need to have sex with anyone other than Amy when Amy is ready to have sex.
Which isn't gonna be anytime soon.
I don't need you to tell me when I can or cannot have sex with Amy.
Amy'll decide that.
And what, I don't need sex, but you do? It's not a matter of need.
I'm not having sex because I need sex.
I'm having sex because I want to have sex.
Well, yeah, I want to have sex, too.
Hello, Ben.
Oh, excuse me for interrupting, but your dad said I could drop by and pick up some steaks.
We're grilling out tonight.
Hi.
You must be Ricky.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Betty, this is Ricky.
Ricky, Betty.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
this is my dad's fiancée.
Yeah, that's French for betrothed.
I didn't know Mr.
Boykewich was betrothed.
Congratulations to him.
I think it's "best wishes" to the future bride.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I have a lot of useless information in my head.
Lucky you.
I can't seem to keep any information in my head.
I have to write everything down.
That's four steaks, all right? Yeah, right.
I'm just so surprised Ben didn't tell me about you and his dad.
Oh, well, that's not Ben's fault, really.
It's just we've been trying to keep it quiet until we can find my dog.
I hear you're going to Bologna.
Maybe, yeah.
I've never been to Bologna.
Have you ever been to Bologna, Betty? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Lots of times.
It's beautiful, and the people are really, really friendly.
And there's-- there's spaghetti all over the place.
What's Bologna known for? Everyone knows what Bologna's known for.
- I don't.
- Ricky.
The Leaning Tower of Pizza.
Betty.
All right, Benjamin, no.
I was just making a dumb blonde joke.
I was just kidding around.
Everyone knows what Bologna is known for.
- How about my steaks? - Yeah.
Bye, boys.
- Is she-- - Court reporter! Or so she says.
I don't know.
I don't ask questions.
It's none of my business.
My dad loves her.
- Betty? - Yeah, Betty.
Betty.
Where have I heard that name before? She gave me a ride to the funeral last week.
She waved to Grace's brother Tom.
She seemed to know him somehow.
- What? - Nothing.
Hi, Mom.
Welcome home.
Did you make dinner? - A real dinner? - It's just a chicken.
Dad let me help out at the grocery store.
And I'm making rice and a salad.
And you managed to do all that and keep the house clean? - Yeah.
- I'm really impressed, Amy.
It's really nice to come home to a clean house and dinner.
You did it for us for how many years? So I just tried really hard to do something nice in return for you.
Why? Because I love you, because you're my mom, and you're expecting.
And would you mind watching John It would just be for the summer.
?? I've never been to Italy.
I've always wanted to go to Italy.
Yeah, me, too.
- Why don't you take the baby with you? - Yeah, there you go.
Take John with you.
Are you two out of your minds? I cannot take a 10-week old baby with me to Italy.
It's not like he doesn't know Mom.
She's with him every single day.
She could just leave him at the nursery.
Yeah, what about the nursery? What would you do about your job? It's a pity job.
They don't really need me there.
And Ashley could do it.
I don't think so.
It's your job.
And you're my sister.
And I'm too young to be tied down with a baby for the rest of my life without a break! I need to get away, Dad.
I really need to get away.
I'm tired of being locked up at home with the baby, with John.
I love him.
I really love him.
But I'm 15.
Yeah, almost 16.
You got a birthday coming up.
I know.
And I would like to spend it in Italy in Bologna with Ben.
- That's where Ben is going? - Why, what's wrong with Bologna? Nothing.
- Hey.
Steak's ready.
- I'll be right there.
I just wanted to clean up before dinner.
I think this is the first time Betty's ever cooked dinner.
She looks like she really knows what to do with a grill.
Surprised me.
She seems like a really nice woman.
Yeah.
I'm a lucky man.
Any luck getting her unhitched? Why? Oh, nothing.
You gonna have a big wedding? Probably just something here at the house.
But don't worry, we won't get married without you.
Speaking of which, how are your summer plans coming along? I mean, how'd it go with Amy? Did you tell her about Bologna? Yeah.
And I had to ask her if she wanted to go or she'd kill me.
Well, all right.
Well, did you know that Bologna's known for-- Yes.
Urban legend, probably.
Yeah.
I figured.
You don't think she'll actually go-- Amy? I really doubt she'll be able to, but maybe.
And you're gonna go without her, if she can't go? Oh, yeah.
I mean, such a great opportunity.
Traveling abroad is more educational than even going to school, right? It can be.
Yeah.
Thanks, Adrian.
Oh, you don't have to thank me.
I like being with you.
I'm sorry I can't stick around.
Oh, that's okay.
Ruben's picking my mom up at the airport, and he'll be back soon.
I convinced him it'd be romantic to surprise her.
What would be romantic as far as you and I are concerned? - Why? - Just askin'.
I don't want romance.
It's not real.
This-- This is real.
Just two people getting together to have sex.
Yeah.
Two people, no commitment.
I want a commitment.
I don't want you to have sex with any other guys, especially Ben.
I would never sleep with Ben.
I don't want you to sleep with Jack, either.
I have no plans to sleep with Jack.
What would make you think I'd sleep with Jack? They're getting back together, Grace and Jack.
I saw them leaving school, holding hands.
And she's not gonna have sex with him again, and he's not gonna be able to leave it alone.
So I don't want you with Jack.
Or Ben.
All right.
I have to go over to Amy's and help her with John.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want you to have sex with Amy.
I'm not gonna have sex with Amy.
You're not even gonna try? With Ben in Italy for the summer? Even if I could, I wouldn't.
Ben's my friend.
So Ben's the reason? Not me.
Look, I just asked you for a commitment.
What more do you want from me? Nothing.
Nothing.
Good night.
I'll call you later.
No, that's okay.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
Oh, shoot.
Adrian? Yeah, it's me, Grace.
Sorry.
I hit the speed dial before I remembered you didn't want to be friends with me.
No.
I'm glad you hit the speed dial.
I'm on your speed dial? - You're 1 on my speed dial.
- Really? That's so nice.
I miss talking to you, Adrian.
And I'm so sorry about what I said to you at school today.
I was so wrong.
Are you there? Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm here.
So we're still friends? Yeah, if you'll still have me as a friend.
After the way I treated you, I don't even know why you'd want to be my friend.
Because you make me feel like I'm somebody.
You are somebody.
- I'm really sorry about your dad.
- Thanks, Adrian.
But I can't really talk about it without completely losing it.
So tell me what's going on with you.
Why'd you call? Ricky just told me that he doesn't want me to have sex with any other guys.
That's great.
Did I tell you that Jack and I are back together? But we're not going to have sex again.
Great.
Yeah.
And we're going to try to be better Christians.
Yeah.
Me, too.
I don't even know what that means.
But I'm just so excited to talk to you.
How are you? Is it just horrible? Yeah.
It's horrible.
I feel like my heart exploded.
I wish there was something I could do.
It's completely unfair.
Ricky gets to go anywhere he wants, and I have no time at all without the baby.
And once Mom's baby gets here, there's going to be two babies in the house.
I'm sure I'm going to have to babysit for her and David.
So why can't she just do this one little thing for me, and let me go for-- I don't know-- two weeks, three weeks, a month? You two have been wanting a dog, right? If you keep John just for a few weeks, I promise I'll keep your dog whenever you want to go out of town.
Hey, here's a good idea.
Why don't you just put John in a kennel while you're gone? Hi.
Your mom told me you were over here.
Oh, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
I would've stayed over there, but that guy's over there-- David.
Hey, there.
Want to come with Daddy, give Grandpa a break? You're really good with John.
You're great with him.
Well, I'm going to bed.
I think this might be a good time for me to go over and talk to your mom and David.
I can't take him while you go to Italy.
- Why not? - 'Cause you're his mother.
- You're his father.
- You have a job.
You have a job.
You can put him in the nursery when you go to work.
Let Ben go, Amy.
Let him go.
The guy's been really good to you and to me.
And if he wants to go away for the summer, let him go.
This is our son-- my son and your son.
Ben's not obligated to take care of him.
We are.
Let Ben go, and let him go without feeling bad about leaving.
- He deserves that.
- No.
If I let him go there by himself, he's going to get into trouble.
He could get into trouble here.
How did we get ourselves into this? Sex.
Oh, sex.
I'm sorry.
She really tried.
Yeah.
I'm sorry she tried, too.
There's something I think I should tell you before we both collapse from food poisoning.
What's that? I-- I got a little suspicious about the pregnancy.
- Suspicious? - I'm an only child.
Infertility runs in my family.
My first wife and I had irreconcilable differences-- differences of opinion over whether we should try different methods to conceive or to adopt.
- That's why we split up.
- Yeah? Yeah, so, I made an appointment with a doctor today to sort of have things checked out, thinking that maybe-- just maybe-- you were trying to trick me.
- Why would I do that? - I don't know.
Maybe because I'm the sole heir to a large fortune.
I'm just being honest with you.
Completely honest.
So you think I got pregnant to get my hands on your money? It's not my money.
It's my dad's money.
And without an heir, they're leaving it to medical research.
And they want to be frozen.
Yeah.
You should meet them sometime.
They're two very special people.
I don't want to meet them.
And I think that you'd better leave.
This is your baby.
And George has had a vasectomy.
It's not his baby.
It's your baby.
But if you don't want to have anything to do with me or my baby, that's your decision.
But I'm not interested in your parents' money.
Or their factories? Or real estate? Or investments? Or stock portfolios? Any of that? I don't know anything about any of that! Again, I just am being totally honest with you, and I hope you're being honest with me, because, Anne, I love you, and I want to marry you, but we haven't known each other that long, and I have to ask because my fathering a child is a bit of a medical miracle.
- Really? - Really.
Well, you didn't have to ask me if I was some kind of con artist.
Why didn't you just have me investigated? - I did.
- What? I had to.
Forgive me, Anne.
It's just that I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I wasn't seeing.
I'm just so crazy about you.
And if you don't mind, I was wondering if you were open to a prenup? Well, what makes you think I'd even want to marry you after all that? I don't know.
But Will you marry me?
There must be something I can do for you today.
Can you bring back my dad? I just can't beleive I like you talk me to have sex with you.
But we didn't kill your father.
yes,we did.
I am hate you.
whoes gonna watch John and the other children if you went on the doctor, they are hero.
I'm tired of working.
I want to go out.
you'd better not be? with age because you are not getting sex of me.
We are not enough of a couple to go to funeral together.
I just don't kown how this could have happen to the two us Maybe someone was in quite a hand with a??? It's my sex life,I quite.
Nothing you did cause your father to die.
Please go to the funarel of your family.
Are you sure this isn't you baby? I'm sure I have told you.
You are gonna go to whatever service your dad planned for himself.
Don't be stupid, Jack.
Never drink alone.
If your dad was here now, he'd probably kill you for acting like this.
Go out there and do what you have to do.
He loved you.
No matter what, he loved you.
You know that.
How was he? He was just hungry and wet.
He's okay now, though.
- What time is it?-- - It's 4:30.
I can't decide if I should stay awake and study or if I should go back to sleep.
I know.
I feel like I should go back to bed, but we've been up for so long, It feels like it should be daylight already.
- I'm sorry, Mom.
-- - It's okay.
I'll be apologizing to you soon enough for the same thing.
Did David call? No.
I don't know what time his flight is getting in.
He said it would be late.
Well, he didn't tell me.
He had his assistant call and tell me.
Oh.
I have a feeling he's avoiding me.
Yeah, he's kind of immature,you know? oh.
What's going on? Ashley said your light's been on for hours.
What is Ashley doing up? Twilight Zone marathon.
Everything okay? She has school tomorrow.
It's the weekend.
It's not the weekend.
Tomorrow's Friday.
No, actually it's today.
Today is Friday.
Well, no one does anything on Fridays, do they? Yes.
It's the same as any other school day.
Not according to Ashley.
I'm just kidding.
We both fell asleep in the living room at 7,woke up at 3, so we decided to get up.
At 3:00? That's right.
That's living the life.
Going to be when you want and going to bed when you want.
What, are you rubbing it in? Rubbing what in? What's wrong? Who's sick? No one.
John was crying.
What was he crying about? He just cries.
He's a baby, okay? Okay with me.
I don't live here.
Hey, is anybody hungry? How about a scrambled eggs and bacon sandwich? Hash browns? Mmm.
- You got eggs and bacon?-- - Everything's right where it's always been.
Like he can get through to where everything's always been.
Why's this place so messed up all the time? Because I'm in high school and I work.
Mom works, too.
Well, you've got three hours before you leave for school.
You could clean now.
I didn't go to bed at 7.
I'm tired.
Oh, and crabby.
Don't forget crabby.
Yeah, you're crabby.
Your mom's crabby.
Because you miss us, huh? - We miss Ashley.
-- - You miss Ashley.
Oh, thanks.
You know,are you gonna be like this for the next 18 years, or do you think you might start enjoying the kid at some point? - Ashley!-- - Amy! - George!-- - Anne! I think she has a point.
Ashley has a point.
Sooner or later, Ames, you gotta start enjoying life again.
John can tell you're not happy and that's why he cries.
Get happy.
And how am I supposed to do that? I think I'm gonna throw up.
And then I'm gonna go back to bed.
Good night.
I'm gonna go back to bed, too.
Just leave my egg sandwich on a plate in the microwave.
No bacon for me.
But I'll take the potatoes.
Thanks, Dad.
They're a mess,the two of 'em.
Yeah.
Nothing we can do about that.
Sure there is.
We can clean up some of this mess.
And tomorrow we can find some way to get Amy's mood up.
Make her laugh or something.
She's gotta lighten up.
Get happy.
And Mom? Are we gonna try and make her happy, too? That's not my job anymore.
That's David's job.
Is it? He's her boyfriend.
He's the father of her baby.
Oh, yeah? Why, what do you know? What do you know? Nothin.
Fallin' in love The Secretlife of the American Teenage s02e04 Is such an easy thing to do Birds can do it, we can do it So let's stop talkin', let's get to it Let's fall in love We'll just hang out.
I don't mind hanging out again.
We hang out every night.
I'm tired of hanging out.
But I'm too tired to do anything but hang out.
Then we can go to dinner.
We can take John with us.
No, we can't take John with us.
I'm not taking him out until he's three months old.
You took him to the doctor's office.
Could a restaurant be more germy than a doctor's office? That's not the point.
I don't want to take any chances.
Can Ricky or your mother or your sister babysit? I doubt it.
They all have lives.
Then we'll just hang out.
And I'll bring over dinner.
Or we can try cooking dinner.
After I get home from work, we're going to cook dinner? Well, we have to eat, don't we? We have to learn how to cook.
I'll just, uh-- I'll talk to you at school.
I gotta get up, or I'm gonna be late.
All right.
I'll see you at school.
- Hi.
-- - Hi.
Didn't mean to overhear,but I thought we should talk.
Yeah,I've been trying to talk to you.
but every time I see you,you're with Betty.
I have spent a lot of time with Betty this week.
I needed to spend a lot of time with Betty this week.
uh,I needed to be around another adult.
Someone I could talk to.
About me? Listen, Dad, I'm sorry about quitting the butcher shop.
I tried to go back, you know.
I know.
But you wanted to make it on your own, and there's nothing really wrong with that.
I took what I had, and I turned it into something more-- not just for me but for my family.
You want to start from nothing? Start from nothing.
Go ahead.
Dad, I said I was sorry.
I know.
And I'm sorry,too.
I'm sorry I let a week go by before telling you that's not how you leave a job that someone's given you.
Yeah.
Not just someone,but you.
Yeah, me.
The guy who loves you most in the world.
Dad, I'm sorry, and Can I have my job back? Please? You sure you want your job back? I need a job.
A job isn't easy to get.
- Have you been looking?-- - Not really.
I was hoping you'd forgive me and give me my job back.
Forgive you for For sounding like it was a burden to have the privilege of growing up with money and certain opportunities,like having a family business to work at.
Even when you're not that good at it.
Good answer.
I like that answer.
You can have your job back.
And I have a proposal for you.
Okay, great.
I'll do whatever you ask of me.
But please realize that I'm not that good at handling meat or knives or blood.
You're good with customers.
That's what Bunny told me.
You're good at remembering what customers like, while,whether it's at the counter or repeat mail order.
- I am?-- - Yep.
So I've been thinking.
How would you like to go to Italy this summer? To Bologna? On a vacation? No, to work.
We have family there.
I went there the summer before I met your mother when I was 13.
It was a blast.
I loved it.
What would I do there? Work at your uncle's hotel.
It's a small hotel,very nice.
But I bet you'd be really good with the clientele.
They got a lot of Americans.
Me go to Bologna and work at a hotel? Yeah.
I think it'll be good for you to get away.
Could Amy and John go with me? I think that'd be really good for Amy to get away from everything.
I mean,she's really stressed right now.
I'll have to ask, but Do you really want to take Amy and the baby with you? You think it might be good to have a couple of months to just have some time to yourself? I'd think about that, Ben.
You have your whole life to spend with Amy and John.
And she might be just as stressed in Bologna as she is here.
Maybe more so since you'll be the only one there to help her out.
Yeah, maybe.
I'll miss ya, but I think it'll do you good.
And you have Betty here, so you'd be okay, right? More than okay.
Oh, by the way, does Betty know the Bowmans? Does she know Grace's brother? He seemed to recognize her at the funeral.
She's very friendly,Betty.
Tom, you didn't have to cook again this morning.
I was trying to get down here early so I could cook for you.
What's the matter? Are you tuff of my cooking? No, not at all, honey.
I just need to do something.
I need to be busy.
I'm feeling a little blue.
Still? Still.
I think it's gonna take me longer than a week.
It might take me longer than a year.
It might take me a lifetime.
Don't get me wrong.
I miss Dad.
But as Pocahontas said, all must die.
You know, Tom, that's not exactly comforting at a time like this.
All must die? But it's true.
We all die sometime.
And you know he went to heaven.
And you know you will see him again.
Have a little faith.
Honey, I'm gonna need more than a little faith to be where you are with this.
You have been really strong.
Grace.
Good morning.
You look beautiful,sweetheart.
Yes, you do.
What happened? I don't know.
I just decided I'm gonna go to school today.
It's Friday.
If you want to wait until Monday.
That'll be okay.
I was thinking today that maybe we could all go talk to Reverend Stone.
You know, just kind of check in with where we are,where we want to be, how we want to handle things.
Get help if we need it.
- Talk.
-- - You and Tom can go.
I'm fine.
I don't need to talk to anybody.
I'm-- I'm better now.
Honey, we could talk to someone else if you'd like.
He gave me the name of a family grief therapist who wrote a really good book on family and loss.
I don't really want to grieve according to some book.
I'm okay.
I want to go back to school.
I want to be busy,really.
- Really?-- - Yeah.
I know it's gonna be hard, but I have to go back to school sometime.
And instead of waiting until Monday, I just thought I'd start now so at least I have the weekend before my second day back, in case today doesn't go so great.
Yeah, you're probably going to need the weekend.
Well, you're doing okay.
Why shouldn't I do okay? Because I didn't do anything, so I don't have any guilt.
- Tom.
-- - No, that's okay.
There's going to be plenty of that when I go back to school.
But you know what? I can do it.
There's only a month left of school and I can get through it.
I can.
I don't know how, but I know God will find a way to get me through.
Then go.
I will.
Have a little faith, remember? We all just have to have a little bit of faith.
You'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
Eventually.
I mean, besides, we can't wait until I'm 100%.
I don't know when I'll be 100%.
It could be years.
So I'm just gonna go get my stuff.
Does the guy who wrote the book on grief talk about using internet hookers? What? I saw Betty at the funeral.
She dropped Ben off at the church.
I was thinking maybe-- No! Absolutely not.
I was just trying to make you laugh.
Oh.
Okay, Tom, that was good.
You got me.
But were joking about Betty dropping off Ben? What, Ben and Betty? Yep.
Hello? Good morning.
This is Ben Boykewich.
Is this Adrian? Hey, Ben.
What's up? I was just, uh-- - I was wondering if-- - Oh, I'm not having sex with you.
Give Amy time.
Like in a couple of years, when she graduates high school, then she'll have sex with you.
Probably.
Uh, no, no.
I wasn't gonna ask you to have sex.
Although sex with you would be very nice, I'm sure.
Yeah, you can be sure of that.
What are you so nervous about? Are you sure you weren't gonna try and have sex with me? No, I wasn't calling you for sex.
I just, uh-- I need some advice.
About sex? No! No! I'm not having sex.
Not going to have sex until Amy is absolutely,positively ready to have sex.
And I love her,so I'll wait.
I'll wait as long as I have to wait.
And, as you pointed out, it could be a long time from now.
It could be after high school.
Way after high school, even.
After college.
I mean And whenever we do have sex£¬ I'm sure it'll have been worth the wait.
- Or not.
-- - Anyway,here's the thing, I don't really want anyone else to know about this.
Oh, whoa.
That's what guys always say.
Are you sure you're not trying to have sex with me? No.
I would never try because I don't want to try and fail.
I would fail, right? - Probably.
Yes.
-- - Could I get a definitely? Just for the record in case the idea ever popped in my head or anything.
- Definitely.
-- - Okay.
So it's just that I don't know how to present this opportunity to Amy in a way that she won't want to jump on it.
Spit it out.
I have to get to school.
I have an opportunity to go to Bologna, Italy, this summer, - and I was-- - Interesting.
You know what Bologna's known for, right? Bolognese sauce? Ha,ha,And other things.
I don't know what Bologna is known for, no.
We have relatives there.
It's just that if I tell Amy that she and the baby could go with me, I'm sure they'd want to go, and honestly,I think it's best if they don't.
It would be really difficult to be in Italy and not have sex with Amy.
Oh, don't you mean it would be difficult to be in Italy with Amy and have sex with someone other than Amy? No! No, I do not.
Honestly, I don't think it's the right time for Amy and I to go away right now.
And yet I don't want to hurt her feelings.
So I figured, hey, you're a woman.
Maybe you could tell me.
What should I say to Amy so that she doesn't hate me? - Is Ricky going with you?-- - What? Ricky? No.
So he'd be here with Amy for the summer.
The two of them alone without you? Yeah.
Then I hate you.
Amy! We have to leave now! We're late! What happened in here? Dad cleaned up.
Those your pajamas? You go to work like that? No, I'm gonna drive Amy and John like this.
Unless Oh, I can do it.
I don't mind helping.
I've tried to help as much as you two will let anyone help.
Thank you.
I could really use some more time to get ready.
- How you feeling?-- - Better.
Much better.
Thank you.
Won't you see if there's anything you can do for Amy.
Yeah, why don't I? And you two can talk.
Talk about what? Oh, I don't know.
Are you getting a dog? Is that what Ashley wants us to talk about? A dog? You're getting a dog.
I knew it.
George, you don't need a dog.
If you get a dog, you're not gonna be able to travel or go anywhere without having to worry about the dog.
That would be true if I weren't living next door to my ex-wife, who I'm sure would be happy to take care of the dog when I'm not here.
You love dogs, right? If you got a dog, I'd be willing to keep you dog when you travel.
- You and David.
-- - David doesn't like dogs.
Does he like children? I hope he likes children.
Yeah, he likes children.
But we can't take care of our baby and Amy and Amy's baby and your dog, so if that's your plan,think again.
- We're totally overwhelmed here.
-- - Really? I hadn't noticed.
Look, I appreciate you cleaning up.
I do.
Not enough to take care of your dog for you in return, but I do appreciate it.
Tell me something.
Where is your boyfriend? Why isn't he around here helping out? It's not his grandson.
It's our grandson.
I'm sure it'll be different when it's his baby.
Will it? I didn't see him here last night holding your hair back when you were puking your guts out.
That's what I used to do.
He's not even doing what I used to do, and I thought I set the bar pretty low back then.
He just got back from a trip last night, and he had to go to a job site.
Anyway, I'm older now.
I've been through this before.
I can take care of myself.
Uh-huh.
I can see that.
Did he call,see how you were? I'm fine.
It's just the sight of bacon that did me in.
Raw pig fat and pregnancy don't mix for me.
What are you getting at,anyway? What I'm getting at, is just because this guy is the guy who got you pregnant,it doesn't mean he's the right guy for you.
Any more than Ricky is the right guy for Amy.
Well, he's not Ricky.
Yeah, he is Ricky.
And I'm Ben.
Or I would be Ben if we were still in love.
But we're not.
It wouldn't make any difference if we were.
It's too late now,because unlike Ben, I'm not really interested in being the boyfriend to a girl who's having another boy's baby.
That was always the problem, wasn't it? I was always just another one of your girlfriends,not really your wife.
Let's go to school! Sorry about your dad.
And the other thing,you know.
I know just how you feel.
I lost my cat last year.
And my virginity.
My dad almost died, too.
It's okay.
I got your back.
Look, I know you haven't called me.
I know you haven't felt like calling anyone.
But - we're still friends-- - Grace! Hi,What's going on? What's going on is your boyfriend is going to Italy this summer.
Grace! Grace, it's me, George.
George Juergens.
Grace? Are you okay? Oh, it's okay.
Grace, it's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Better? You want to talk? Did someone say something to you at school? You wanna tell me what they said? First day back, huh? You know, there's only a month left of school.
Why don't you just stay home for now and go to summer school? I can't.
My mom said if I stay home I have to talk to somebody.
Sometimes it's good to talk to someone.
On the other hand, I'm not really big on talking to people about my problems.
You have problems? Well, not like your problems.
Maybe the opposite of your problems.
Yeah, your problems can't be as bad as my problems.
Nah, no one's d-- Dad? I'm sorry, Grace.
I know you were really close to your dad.
I just want to know where he is.
He's dead, Grace.
Yeah, but dead dead? Or is he in heaven somewhere? Where is heaven? I don't know.
But I'm pretty sure there is one.
So you believe in God? Of course.
You don't have to go to church to believe in God.
Or you can go to church and not believe in God.
Do you believe in God? I thought I did it.
But then he killed your dad? Yeah,I don't think it works like that.
I know it doesn't work like that.
And if it does work like that, well, then, darn it, God, strike me dead! See? Nothing.
And my daughter had sex with someone she hardly even knew.
.
So did my wife,for that matter.
If your dad was alive, he'd get over you having sex with Jack.
He might have gotten upset about it, but he would have gotten over it.
He was a nice guy, your dad.
Not that I knew him.
But that's what people say.
"Nice guy, Dr.
Bowman.
" He was the nicest.
I just don't know why I couldn't do what he told me to do or not do what he told me not to do.
it's tough to do the right thing.
Believe me, I've been there.
It's tough to forgive Jack.
Tough to forgive Adrian.
Even tougher to forgive yourself.
Yeah.
You just got to forget everything that could have been or should have been.
Forget everything.
but how much you love Jack and how much you love Adrian.
Because in the end, all we need is love.
- Beatles.
- Beatles.
I just don't know if I can love them like I did.
I guess what happened isn't their fault.
No, it's not.
And you know, Jack feels so bad about it, he started drinking.
He was drinking at your dad's funeral.
He's heartbroken.
- Wait, Jack is drinking alcohol? - Yeah.
I told him to lay off.
That's been done.
Teen and alcohol.
He should try teen and sober.
Teen and no alcohol or drugs or even sex.
I don't think Jack can go without sex.
So that's how it happened.
Trying to keep him away from all the other girls, huh? Well, I got news for you.
Guys aren't animals.
They're not completely ruled by their hormones.
They're animals with brains.
They can be trained to go without sex for long periods of time.
Just ask any guy who's been married for a few years and has kids.
You're funny.
I wish my Amy thought so.
I can't even get her to smile these days.
Mr.
Juergens, you really helped me by talking to me.
I feel a lot better.
I really do.
Do you want to tell me what your problem is? It might help.
I'm a good listener.
And it might make me feel better to help somebody else.
Especially you, 'cause you were so kind to listen to me.
All right.
I told my wife I got a certain surgery when I didn't.
Now she thinks she's pregnant by her boyfriend.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
Pray for me.
I was going to tell you.
I just wasn't ready to tell you.
How did she know? - Who? - Who? Did you tell people other than Adrian? Oh, no, Adrian.
Yeah, I told her.
I wanted to ask her advice about how to tell you so that I didn't upset you.
Why would you be getting advice from Adrian? Oh, I'll tell you why.
Because you were hoping to get more than advice from Adrian.
No, that's not true.
It's just you've been kind of tired and not in the best mood.
And I didn't want to upset you.
And she's very mature, Adrian.
Oh, yeah, right.
Amy, I love you.
But my uncle needs me.
Your uncle in Bologna? - Baloney! - No, no, no.
My uncle runs a small hotel there, and he really needs me to come in and work for him this summer.
It's a family thing.
I can make more money there than at the butcher shop.
And all I have to sacrifice is seeing you and John every day for a few weeks-- a couple months, tops.
Couldn't your dad just give you a raise at the butcher shop? Yeah, he could, but honestly, why would he? Other than I'm his son.
I'm not that good at it.
Amy, you know I want to invest some time in me and finding myself.
I want to be my own man.
And maybe I'll find something in Bologna, something in my uncle's business that's right for me.
Something that I can use my whole life that will benefit the two of us.
I can't believe you'd just take off for the summer.
Well, you could go too, but-- Really? Well, I mean, if you could take John with you.
??You'd have to take John out of the country, and you don't even want to take John out of the house.
Then I'll just leave John here.
He won't miss me for a few weeks.
He's too young.
But you just couldn't go off and leave him.
Well, it wouldn't be like I was going off and leaving him.
I have a family.
My family could help out.
Even if it's just for like a month.
I really need to get away.
What's up with those two? Ben's going to Bologna.
Italy? Leaving you here for the summer, alone with Amy.
Amy and John.
Not Amy.
Why Bologna? I've never heard him mention Bologna.
Well, he has an uncle he can work for there, but I don't think he's going for work.
Bologna's known for three things.
oldest university in the world.
And 3, it's known for oral sex.
Come on.
Every city in Europe is known for sex.
Same in Asia.
Every place but America.
No one seems to come here to America for sex.
Not willingly, anyway.
So Ben's dad is sending him to Italy to get Yeah.
Maybe I can go, too.
You can get that right here.
- So can he.
- Oh, what, from me? No, not from you.
You're not the only girl in this school having sex.
Half the girls here are having sex.
Yeah, and half are not.
Like Amy.
Let me ask you something.
Are you having sex with anyone other than me? - What? - Wrong answer.
Wai-- You're not available.
My dad's trying to get back together with my mom.
They're looking at houses.
And when we get a house, we can have our privacy back.
- And until then? - Until then you can wait.
And if you can't wait, then then don't come back around when we do get a house.
And I mean that.
Go.
Go with him.
Go to Bologna! Have sex that's named after rigatoni and spaghettini and fusilli.
What do I care? What? It's nice to have you back so quickly, you know.
You just got to get back up on the horse.
Oh, I'm referring to your dad, not the other thing.
Thanks for clarifying that.
It's always hard to know what to say, isn't it? I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
It's really nice that people care, that you care.
- Hi, Jack.
- Hi, Grace.
I didn't know if you were speaking to me or not.
Yeah, I'm speaking to you.
I'm speaking to everybody.
I'm really sorry about the way I've been acting.
Oh, no, no.
Don't apologize to me.
I was totally in the wrong here.
Wrong not to wait.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
No, the two of us made this decision.
And I think it was a bad decision.
I really do.
Even though you're the guy for me, and I love you, Jack, I had sex with you because I didn't want you to have sex with anybody else.
Grace, if you'll have me back, I swear I'll never have sex again.
Even when we're married? You still care enough about me to marry me? Yes, of course I do.
But you have to stop with the drinking thing right now.
Mr.
Juergens told me.
It was just beer.
I thought a couple beers would make it easier to get over you.
And over losing you and your dad.
And my dad, for that matter.
I thought I was over that, but I-- I don't think I'm ever gonna be over that-- losing my dad.
I still think about him all the time.
It's just been really painful lately and I'm sorry.
You're the only person that can say "I know what you're going through" and really mean it.
But I don't know if I can really say that.
I don't know what it's been like for you.
I only know what it's like for me.
And it's just been horrible.
I mean, for me and my mom and Tom and I just made it so much more horrible.
But now I have to dig a little deeper and find a little bit more strength and just do something honorable for my dad.
And other than that, I just don't think there's anything else we can do about losing our dads.
But there is something we can do about losing us.
I don't want to lose what we had.
And I'm in love with you, Jack.
And I want to be your girlfriend.
I just don't want to have sex again until I'm married.
And I expect you not to have sex again until we're married.
- Any kind of sex.
- I promise.
I won't have any kind of sex until we're married.
I'd do anything for you, Grace.
- And no drinking.
- No drinking.
- No drugs.
- No drugs.
Just us.
That's enough for me.
Can I give you a ride home? I'd like that.
Thank you.
So you're going to Italy to have sex, huh? Going all the way out of the country just to have sex.
Not even real sex.
More like foreplay.
I don't know that for sure.
Oh, yeah, you do.
You know, I can help you get laid here.
It's not about sex, okay? It's not about anything other than getting a summer job.
A summer job, huh? Come on, it's not about work.
It's about running away from your responsibilities and getting rewarded for it.
I thought you'd be happy I'm going.
I thought you'd be happy to have Amy and the baby all to yourself.
Amy said you asked her to go with you, so you'll have Amy and the baby to yourself.
Oh, yeah.
I did ask.
I don't know if they're going, though.
- I mean, I'd like for them to go, but-- - No, you wouldn't like for her to go.
I talked to Adrian, too, you know.
And why are you going to Adrian for advice? Because I wanted a woman's point of view.
And I thought she wouldn't tell anyone.
Why didn't you talk to your friend? What's her name, Alice? Oh, because Alice only knows what she reads in books, and Adrian's got some real-life experience.
That's why.
And that's what you want, Some real-life experience? You stay away from Adrian.
Stay away as in don't even talk to Adrian? - Because - Because.
Because you have real feelings for her? Because you don't need to have sex with anyone other than Amy when Amy is ready to have sex.
Which isn't gonna be anytime soon.
I don't need you to tell me when I can or cannot have sex with Amy.
Amy'll decide that.
And what, I don't need sex, but you do? It's not a matter of need.
I'm not having sex because I need sex.
I'm having sex because I want to have sex.
Well, yeah, I want to have sex, too.
Hello, Ben.
Oh, excuse me for interrupting, but your dad said I could drop by and pick up some steaks.
We're grilling out tonight.
Hi.
You must be Ricky.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Betty, this is Ricky.
Ricky, Betty.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
this is my dad's fiancée.
Yeah, that's French for betrothed.
I didn't know Mr.
Boykewich was betrothed.
Congratulations to him.
I think it's "best wishes" to the future bride.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I have a lot of useless information in my head.
Lucky you.
I can't seem to keep any information in my head.
I have to write everything down.
That's four steaks, all right? Yeah, right.
I'm just so surprised Ben didn't tell me about you and his dad.
Oh, well, that's not Ben's fault, really.
It's just we've been trying to keep it quiet until we can find my dog.
I hear you're going to Bologna.
Maybe, yeah.
I've never been to Bologna.
Have you ever been to Bologna, Betty? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Lots of times.
It's beautiful, and the people are really, really friendly.
And there's-- there's spaghetti all over the place.
What's Bologna known for? Everyone knows what Bologna's known for.
- I don't.
- Ricky.
The Leaning Tower of Pizza.
Betty.
All right, Benjamin, no.
I was just making a dumb blonde joke.
I was just kidding around.
Everyone knows what Bologna is known for.
- How about my steaks? - Yeah.
Bye, boys.
- Is she-- - Court reporter! Or so she says.
I don't know.
I don't ask questions.
It's none of my business.
My dad loves her.
- Betty? - Yeah, Betty.
Betty.
Where have I heard that name before? She gave me a ride to the funeral last week.
She waved to Grace's brother Tom.
She seemed to know him somehow.
- What? - Nothing.
Hi, Mom.
Welcome home.
Did you make dinner? - A real dinner? - It's just a chicken.
Dad let me help out at the grocery store.
And I'm making rice and a salad.
And you managed to do all that and keep the house clean? - Yeah.
- I'm really impressed, Amy.
It's really nice to come home to a clean house and dinner.
You did it for us for how many years? So I just tried really hard to do something nice in return for you.
Why? Because I love you, because you're my mom, and you're expecting.
And would you mind watching John It would just be for the summer.
?? I've never been to Italy.
I've always wanted to go to Italy.
Yeah, me, too.
- Why don't you take the baby with you? - Yeah, there you go.
Take John with you.
Are you two out of your minds? I cannot take a 10-week old baby with me to Italy.
It's not like he doesn't know Mom.
She's with him every single day.
She could just leave him at the nursery.
Yeah, what about the nursery? What would you do about your job? It's a pity job.
They don't really need me there.
And Ashley could do it.
I don't think so.
It's your job.
And you're my sister.
And I'm too young to be tied down with a baby for the rest of my life without a break! I need to get away, Dad.
I really need to get away.
I'm tired of being locked up at home with the baby, with John.
I love him.
I really love him.
But I'm 15.
Yeah, almost 16.
You got a birthday coming up.
I know.
And I would like to spend it in Italy in Bologna with Ben.
- That's where Ben is going? - Why, what's wrong with Bologna? Nothing.
- Hey.
Steak's ready.
- I'll be right there.
I just wanted to clean up before dinner.
I think this is the first time Betty's ever cooked dinner.
She looks like she really knows what to do with a grill.
Surprised me.
She seems like a really nice woman.
Yeah.
I'm a lucky man.
Any luck getting her unhitched? Why? Oh, nothing.
You gonna have a big wedding? Probably just something here at the house.
But don't worry, we won't get married without you.
Speaking of which, how are your summer plans coming along? I mean, how'd it go with Amy? Did you tell her about Bologna? Yeah.
And I had to ask her if she wanted to go or she'd kill me.
Well, all right.
Well, did you know that Bologna's known for-- Yes.
Urban legend, probably.
Yeah.
I figured.
You don't think she'll actually go-- Amy? I really doubt she'll be able to, but maybe.
And you're gonna go without her, if she can't go? Oh, yeah.
I mean, such a great opportunity.
Traveling abroad is more educational than even going to school, right? It can be.
Yeah.
Thanks, Adrian.
Oh, you don't have to thank me.
I like being with you.
I'm sorry I can't stick around.
Oh, that's okay.
Ruben's picking my mom up at the airport, and he'll be back soon.
I convinced him it'd be romantic to surprise her.
What would be romantic as far as you and I are concerned? - Why? - Just askin'.
I don't want romance.
It's not real.
This-- This is real.
Just two people getting together to have sex.
Yeah.
Two people, no commitment.
I want a commitment.
I don't want you to have sex with any other guys, especially Ben.
I would never sleep with Ben.
I don't want you to sleep with Jack, either.
I have no plans to sleep with Jack.
What would make you think I'd sleep with Jack? They're getting back together, Grace and Jack.
I saw them leaving school, holding hands.
And she's not gonna have sex with him again, and he's not gonna be able to leave it alone.
So I don't want you with Jack.
Or Ben.
All right.
I have to go over to Amy's and help her with John.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want you to have sex with Amy.
I'm not gonna have sex with Amy.
You're not even gonna try? With Ben in Italy for the summer? Even if I could, I wouldn't.
Ben's my friend.
So Ben's the reason? Not me.
Look, I just asked you for a commitment.
What more do you want from me? Nothing.
Nothing.
Good night.
I'll call you later.
No, that's okay.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
Oh, shoot.
Adrian? Yeah, it's me, Grace.
Sorry.
I hit the speed dial before I remembered you didn't want to be friends with me.
No.
I'm glad you hit the speed dial.
I'm on your speed dial? - You're 1 on my speed dial.
- Really? That's so nice.
I miss talking to you, Adrian.
And I'm so sorry about what I said to you at school today.
I was so wrong.
Are you there? Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm here.
So we're still friends? Yeah, if you'll still have me as a friend.
After the way I treated you, I don't even know why you'd want to be my friend.
Because you make me feel like I'm somebody.
You are somebody.
- I'm really sorry about your dad.
- Thanks, Adrian.
But I can't really talk about it without completely losing it.
So tell me what's going on with you.
Why'd you call? Ricky just told me that he doesn't want me to have sex with any other guys.
That's great.
Did I tell you that Jack and I are back together? But we're not going to have sex again.
Great.
Yeah.
And we're going to try to be better Christians.
Yeah.
Me, too.
I don't even know what that means.
But I'm just so excited to talk to you.
How are you? Is it just horrible? Yeah.
It's horrible.
I feel like my heart exploded.
I wish there was something I could do.
It's completely unfair.
Ricky gets to go anywhere he wants, and I have no time at all without the baby.
And once Mom's baby gets here, there's going to be two babies in the house.
I'm sure I'm going to have to babysit for her and David.
So why can't she just do this one little thing for me, and let me go for-- I don't know-- two weeks, three weeks, a month? You two have been wanting a dog, right? If you keep John just for a few weeks, I promise I'll keep your dog whenever you want to go out of town.
Hey, here's a good idea.
Why don't you just put John in a kennel while you're gone? Hi.
Your mom told me you were over here.
Oh, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
I would've stayed over there, but that guy's over there-- David.
Hey, there.
Want to come with Daddy, give Grandpa a break? You're really good with John.
You're great with him.
Well, I'm going to bed.
I think this might be a good time for me to go over and talk to your mom and David.
I can't take him while you go to Italy.
- Why not? - 'Cause you're his mother.
- You're his father.
- You have a job.
You have a job.
You can put him in the nursery when you go to work.
Let Ben go, Amy.
Let him go.
The guy's been really good to you and to me.
And if he wants to go away for the summer, let him go.
This is our son-- my son and your son.
Ben's not obligated to take care of him.
We are.
Let Ben go, and let him go without feeling bad about leaving.
- He deserves that.
- No.
If I let him go there by himself, he's going to get into trouble.
He could get into trouble here.
How did we get ourselves into this? Sex.
Oh, sex.
I'm sorry.
She really tried.
Yeah.
I'm sorry she tried, too.
There's something I think I should tell you before we both collapse from food poisoning.
What's that? I-- I got a little suspicious about the pregnancy.
- Suspicious? - I'm an only child.
Infertility runs in my family.
My first wife and I had irreconcilable differences-- differences of opinion over whether we should try different methods to conceive or to adopt.
- That's why we split up.
- Yeah? Yeah, so, I made an appointment with a doctor today to sort of have things checked out, thinking that maybe-- just maybe-- you were trying to trick me.
- Why would I do that? - I don't know.
Maybe because I'm the sole heir to a large fortune.
I'm just being honest with you.
Completely honest.
So you think I got pregnant to get my hands on your money? It's not my money.
It's my dad's money.
And without an heir, they're leaving it to medical research.
And they want to be frozen.
Yeah.
You should meet them sometime.
They're two very special people.
I don't want to meet them.
And I think that you'd better leave.
This is your baby.
And George has had a vasectomy.
It's not his baby.
It's your baby.
But if you don't want to have anything to do with me or my baby, that's your decision.
But I'm not interested in your parents' money.
Or their factories? Or real estate? Or investments? Or stock portfolios? Any of that? I don't know anything about any of that! Again, I just am being totally honest with you, and I hope you're being honest with me, because, Anne, I love you, and I want to marry you, but we haven't known each other that long, and I have to ask because my fathering a child is a bit of a medical miracle.
- Really? - Really.
Well, you didn't have to ask me if I was some kind of con artist.
Why didn't you just have me investigated? - I did.
- What? I had to.
Forgive me, Anne.
It's just that I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I wasn't seeing.
I'm just so crazy about you.
And if you don't mind, I was wondering if you were open to a prenup? Well, what makes you think I'd even want to marry you after all that? I don't know.
But Will you marry me?
