The Secret Life of the American Teenager

You're in love again. Who is it this time?

I had my heart set
on Amy and our baby.

Where are you going
in that getup?

That's what you call this?
A getup?

Job interview? Must be
a case of the nerves,

so it is a job interview.

I think we go to the same
school, my name's Thomas.

I can get away with anything
because my sister's pregnant.

My parent's gave me
birth control pills.

Your parents let you
go on the pill?



I'm not on it,
I just have them.

How can I be
what's best for the baby?

Because you'ust's best
for the baby's mother.

I asked you out,
you said, "Yes."

And I wanna go out.

I want you to be careful
not to hurt my sister.

She's all I got.

My foster mother, Margaret,
she's their social worker.

They took me in when I don't
think anyone else would have.

Everyone's afraid of older boys.

Especially with troubled pasts
and crazy drug-addict parents.

You know what? I'm not crazy
about an open adoption.

I want our foster kids back.

I don't think that Ricky's ever
gonna let us adopt that baby either.



I have no intention
of sharing you with Ricky.

Soo who do you love, Amy?

Oh, boy. Mama's got on her
power suit again.

Just because you have
a pregnant teenage daughter

doesn't mean you can
be a governor, my lady.

Give it up, George.

I am going to get a job,
and when I get a job,

I'm gonna proceed
with the divorce,

and you are going to be moving.

Well, I hope
it's a really big job,

because I wanna get
a really big house.

Ooh, the sweet smell of alimony.

- Hello?
- Hi.

Is Ashley there, please?

May I ask who's calling?

- Don't do that.
- Shh!

- Thomas.
- Thomas?

Okay, let me see
if I can find her.

Thomas?

Ashley! There's someone
on the phone for you!

- She can't hear that.
- Ashley, phone!

I'm sorry Thomas, but can
I have her call you back?

- Yes, thank you.
- Does she have your number?

I believe she does.

I told you, I can't away
with anything right now.

The closer it gets
to the baby's arrival,

the more invisible I get.

And is that your doing
or your family's?

- Your invisibility?
- Mine.

Ashley left a half hour ago.
She took the bus.

No one told me.

No one tells me anything
around here anymore.

It's lonely at the top,
governor.

That's your oldest
daughter, Amy.

She's here, and she needs
a ride to school.

So, Amy, it's back to
looking for a job, huh?

Are you talking about you or me?

Both of us.

If you don't have a family to
adopt the baby, you need to get a job,

and without your father,
I need to get a job too.

You know, I think we
could get some help.

Help?

Yeah, u know,
from the government?

Amy, don't be ridiculous.

You don't need to get help
from the government.

- We can take care of ourselves.
- Mom.

We can both get a job
if we try.

I've been trying,
but I can try a little harder.

And Amy, you can
try harder too.

Honestly, Mom, I don't think
I can get a job,

and I'm not so sure
you could either.

Well, I'm sure that we can.

We just need to keep looking.

And while we're looking, we can look for
another couple to adopt the baby.

There are plenty of couples out there
who are looking to adopt,

it's just a matter of finding
the right one.

Mom, I don't think I chithrough that again

I can't believe
Donovan andWell,

Well they did't.

That's how it is.

Well, maybe they'll change
their minds.

Yeah, and maybe I'll be governor,
but in the meantime,

we need to find work.

It's not gonna happen.

I'm not qualified
to do anything,

and I don't know what you're
qualified to do.

Well, I don't know either,
but there's gotta be something.

We just have to be willing
to take any job.

Any honest job that we can get,

because you know it's always
easier to get a job

when you already have a job.

So we'll just take the
first one that comes along

and we'll go from there.

Mom,I don't want a job.

Amy, Woman up, okay?
Come on, let's go.

Let's get out there,
let's do the right thing.

Let's be responsible.

Mom, I'm tired.

And I have school,
I don't want to be responsible.

Did I mention that I'm tired?

I had a short stint
as a cocktail waitress.

Made pretty good money but
I got busted on the age thing.

Exactly how old are you, Ashley?

Seventeen.

You're in middle school,
so you're not 17.

Unless you're really, really
stupid, and you're not stupid.

I thought you said you went to my school.

No, I saw you get off
the bus at your school.

I lied.

Now's the time you're supposed
to stop staring at me

because my staring at you
bothers you.

I'm not in middle school, baby.

And I'm fascinated by your lips.

Heh. You're an idiot.

Yeah maybe.

I'm home schooled, and my parents
are very good teachers.

Well, you lucky guy.

How did you get that?

I don't get along well
with others.

Me neither.

I know, I saw you on the bus.

So I'm just gonna
cut to the chase.

Can I come over
to your house tonight?

I don't know.

- How old are you?
- Uh, 15.

I'll think about it.
Give me your number.

Got to be something here
I have more pens.

Although I didn't
finish college,

when i drop out at a 3.8 average
in business management.

And let's face it, as a mom of 16 years,
I have tons of experience

in handling money and working
on a budget and time management.

Time management,
that's a big one.

I'm really good at that.

And, uh,
I'm also a multitasker.

Do you speak Spanish?

I speak French.

And a little Greek.

No Spanish?

Un poquito.

- So no Spainish.
- Si.

- The cook only speaks Spanish.
- I'll learn Spanish.

I love hot dogs, I love working???

I really want this job.

You, with the 3.8 and the suit,
you want this job?

Yeah, I really want this job.

I've been looking
for quite a while now

and it seems that
no one sees my potential.

Oh, I see your potential.

I plan on going back to school,
but with this economy

it's really hard to find
part-time work.

So I figure this could
a place as any to start.

I'll work really hard, and I'm
totally flexible with my hours.

Flexible, huh?

Husband leave you?

I wish.

But we are getting a divorce,

so I'm reentering
the work force, so to speak.

- It's not easy.
- Not if you don't speak Spanish.

And hey, this is not the work force.

We feed the work force.

-How old are you?
-You can't ask me that.

You brought up the personal stuff,
divorce and all that

How old are you is not
a job-intew question,

it's a personal question,

me to you, man to woman.

Then I'm 29.

I've been out with women
over 29.

- Natural redhead?
- What?

Your hair?
Put something on it?

No.

All right then, you're hired.

I like women who don't
have a problem with lying.

These, uh--

These aren't all-beef
hot dogs, you know?

I'll need an assistant.

An assistant.You know
someone who speaks spanish.

No, you don't need an assistant

You just serve the dogs,
it's not that tough

I'm pretty sure if I call
the labor relations department

and tell them about this little
job interview

you could lose your
business license.

That's hot.

Say it again.

You could lose your
business license.

You could.

Okay, it's not your mother,
is it?

No, it's my daughter.

Daughter, huh?

Sold.

Yeah, minimum wage
for the both of yous.

Cool.

And don't tell the cook.

He thinks he's in training
for another job at the mall.

Gotta go. I got other
Hot Dog Huts, babe.

But believe me,
I'll be checkin' in on you,

if you know what I mean.

Oh, and no free dogs.

Fernando!

Hello, miss.

Oh, hey, Amy.

Hi, Jack.

You look like you could use
some perking up.

-Would you like a chocolate bar?
-Yeah.

All right,
we got plain, caramel,

nougat, dark chocolate,
milk chocolate--

Wait,
you're selling candy bars?

Yeah, The kid I'm mentoring, Duncan,

he's selling candy bars for
disadvantaged youth.

- Isn't he disadvantaged?
- Yeah.

I guess That's why he's raising money
for disadvantaged kids.

Have a heart.

Or better yet,
have a fudge supreme.

- How much?
- Five bucks.

For a candy bar that I can get
for a buck 50 in the grocery store?

It's for the youth.

Ben?

I'm at theCRhe stairs
by the water machine.

Where are you?
I need something

Oh, I'm right here.

Hey,J

- I need $5.
- Oh, sure.

- Jack's selling candy bars.y
- You want one too?

For 5 bucks?
That's a little steep.

It's disadvantage youth.

The kid I'm mentoring
is selling them.

You're selling them.

So how is he
Learning anything?

He's learning that
he can rely on me for help.

In that case
I'll take four.

Thanks.

Here you go.

And, hey, when the band's
selling wrapping paper,

I'll help you out.

Oh, that's over.

Next year then. Thank you.

You know,
why can't I do that?

What? Sell candy bars?

No, get money from someone
who's selling candy bars.

Is your mom on you
about getting a job again?

Yeah.

Maybe you should just make the
effort to apply for some jobs.

That you're willing to do whatever it
takes to take care of the baby.

just like she's getting a job to help
take care of you and Ashley.

You know what would
be supportive?

If you said, "You shouldn't
have to work, Amy.

you've already been through enough,
your mom and dad should take care of you."

They are taking care of you.

They're just trying to show you what
it's like to take care of the baby.

And you can do it.

I know I can do it.

I don't want to do it.

I'm having a baby,
I don't wanna get a job.

Well, what do you
want to do, Amy?

Do you want to find
another couple to adopt the baby?

You should date my mother.

That would have been
so much more oown gotten up on my own.

See you.

So you two made up, huh?

Did Amy tell you that?

Oh, let's not be
so insecure, rich boy.

At least not so
obviously insecure.

I don't have anything
to be insecure about.

When the time is right
I'm legally gonna marry Amy

and spend rest of my life
with her on her side.

Or if you find another couple
to a the baby

Then I'm going to spend the rest
of my life with Amy and visit your son.

So which one will after, Ricky?

Amy or the baby?

Both.

Grace, that I know when women go
on the pill, they crave chocolate.

I'm not on the pill, I have the
pill, but i'm not on it.

And how do you suddenly know
so much about birth control pills, Jack

I don't, really, I'm just
trying to make a sales pitch

I'm helping Duncan sell candy bars.

You're raising money for Duncan?

No, he's raising money
for disadvantaged youth.

Oh, that's so nice.
Especially since he's disadvantaged.

- How much are they?
- Five dollars.

Ha. For one?

Jack, I can't pay $5 for a candy bar,
even it is for disadvantaged youth.

But I can help you sell them.
I'm kinda popular right now.

And besides, that's what
Christians do, right?

They help each other
when they need help.

Yeah, okay.
I'll take you up on that offer.

Thanks, Grace.

No, no, no, I can do it.

Okay. Now, by "it,"

I hope you mean sell candy bars.

Hey, girlfriend.

Oh. Hi, Grace.

What's that?

This is an opportunity to help
the disadvantaged youth.

Oh, jeez. That's not those
giant candy bars, is it?

I'm selling those for the majorettes
to go to Washington D.C. next year.

Well, I'm selling them for kids
who can't even dream

of going to Washington D.C.

Oh, you're good.

But no thanks.

How much you selling them for anyway?

Five dollars.

We're selling ours for 2.50.

You're majorettes.
These are disadvantaged youth.

Who can't even dream of being
majorettes. Yeah, yeah.

I'm still not paying you
5 bucks for a candy bar.

Okay, 2.50 for half?

Nope.

Do you wanna help me sell them?

No, I'm not even trying to sell mine.

I need you to do something for me.

Do you think I could fit into that
pink cashmere sweater that you have?

Sure. You wanna borrow my sweater?

Yeah, if you don't mind.

No.

I'm trying to get my brother
to have sex with me

and I thought I'd have a better
shot if I looked more innocent.

He's trying to court me, and, well,
I don't have any courting clothes.

That's good he's trying to court you.

That'll give you a chance
to act like a lady.

You know, ladies have sex.

No, not until they're married.

That wouldn't be a lady,
that would be a...

Me?

Oh, oh, Adrian,
I have such a good idea.

You should become a virgin again.

- A what?
- Yeah.

You know, set the
odometer back to zero.

Ha. Okay, one, no you can't.
And two, I'm not a car,

and I don't like car analogies
or jokes made about riding me

or riding on me or--

Adrian! You're a lady now.

And I would never
say those things about you.

You're my friend, and
you could be my new virgin friend.

Imagine how much your brother
would like that,

you reclaiming your virginity.

And, you know, while you're at it,

you could tone down
the lip gloss a little bit.

Okay, watch how attracted
guys are to the idea

of having sex with a virgin.

Does anybody want to help me out and
buy a candy bar for the disadvantaged youth?

Oh, yeah.

- I do.
- I do.

Awesome. Five dollars.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks, boys.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Bye.

Hey, so, uh, who's your
second choice if you don't get Amy,

and/or the baby?

I know you're used
to getting what you want.

Let's just say
this time you don't?

Who are you gonna go after? Adrian?

Oh, that's right, Adrian's in
love with her brother right now.

So what about Grace?
Grace isn't gonna marry you.

She's probably gonna become a doctor,
she'll probably marry a doctor.

She's a doctor's daughter, so a little
out of your league, don't you think?

Oh, and by the way, if you and Amy
don't find a couple to adopt the baby,

you're gonna be paying child
support for the next 18 years.

How are you gonna do that?

You don't just get
to call yourself the daddy

without being financially
responsible for the child.

Think about that. Child support
every month for the next 18 years.

So if you're just using
the baby as a way to get to Amy,

just keep in mind that
it's gonna cost you.

But you know that, right?

You shouldn't take things
that you can't pay for, Ricky.

It wasn't Ricky.

Then who was it?

George, I'm sorry if we disappointed
you and Anne and Amy, but--

Who said you disappointed me?

I just wanna know what happened.

When we were gonna give the baby
away then I was happy u r gonna take it

but if you're not gonna take him,
we're not gonna give the baby away.

George, that is so sweet.

No, I mean it.

It's late in the game.

It's too late to get to know anyone well
to know if they should be parenting my grandson.

So who was it?
It wasn't Ricky?

Well...

I knew it.

It wasn't Ricky exactly.

It's all the Rickys
who need parents.

These children present challenges,
but what children don't?

We still want them.

Why?

Why are you taking on
someone else's problems

when you won't take on ours?

George, this is kind of
difficult to explain to you.

It's all about acceptance.

Loving the imperfect
makes us accept and love

our own imperfections.

Damn. You made me cry.

You know, Anne is imperfect,
and I love her, I--

This divorce is killing me.

Did you get the house?

I'm still waiting on the loan.

I should not have eaten
those four candy bars.

You'll be fine.

Yeah, I just need to go home
and take a nap.

Oh, hey, there you are.

What are you doing inside
the school and not outside?

Hi, Ben.

Hi, Ms. Juergens. How are you?

I'm terrific.

I got a job today.

You're kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding you.
And they like me so much

that they're letting me
have an assistant.

You speak Spanish, right?

Right.

Okay, well, we better go.

Because we start at 3:30.

We start what at 3:30?

Our job. Come on let's go,
I'll tell you about it in the car.

Mom, I've had a really long day.

I just ate four $5 chocolate bars,
and I don't feel too well.

Maybe we could start tomorrow.

Twenty dollars worth of chocolate?

You're gonna have to work
at least three hours for that.

Maybe more,
if you factor in taxes.

Why do I get the feeling that
this is not the job that I want?

It's a job that pays.
That's what you want, right?

And it's a start.
Plus, we'll be working together.

Won't that be fun?

Hm, what will be fun?

Come on.

See you, Ben.

Uh, bye.

That'll be 2.75.

There you go.

Could I have, uh,
two dimes and a nickel?

Sure.

Those are full of nitrates,
just so you know.

I know,
and I don't care.

Tasty nitrates.

Bon appetit.

What can I get for you?

Couple of hot dogs with mustard,
ketchup and grilled onions.

Two cry babies
with a shot of red and yellow.

[IN SPANISH]

[IN SPANISH]

[IN SPANISH]

[IN SPANISH]

[IN SPANISH]

-You have hamburgers?
-No, we have hot dogs.

And soda, and water.
And that's it.

- Oh, and chips.
- What about nachos?

- Nope.
- Kabobs?

I can cut up a hot dog and
put it on a stick for you.

I don't want that,
I want a kabob.

- What kind of place is this?
- American.

Oh, then I'll
have the hamburger.

We don't have hamburgers.

Then you're not American.

Are you sure you don't want
try the hot dogs?

-They're really very tasty.
-All right, all right.

Give me a hot dog. Plain.

One naked dog.

[IN SPANISH]

No, she's just trying
to teach me a lesson.

Oops, did I say
that in English?

Where are my cry babies?

Thank you.

Come on, Amy,
get with it, girl.

If you don't have the job
you want,

you want the job you have.

Hm. Who's got the dogs with onions?

There you go, sir.

She didn't tell you
what kind of job?

She didn't even tell me
she had a job.

You told me when you picked me
up from school, if you recall.

What kind of job could she
and Amy have together?

I'm sure I don't know.

But I guess she has a job,
she can keep the baby, right?

Don't be ridiculous, pumpkin.

We have enough money
for Amy to keep the baby.

I just can't tell
your mother that.

Couldn't you tell Amy?

No, because she'd
tell your mother.

How many times have we told Amy things
and told her not to tell your mother

and then she's told your mother?

So we're better off for her
to have a job she doesn't want,

to pay for a baby
she doesn't want,

that she's having
with a guy she doesn't want?

You got it. That's what we want.

All right. Father knows best.

Hey, can I have
a friend come over?

You can have
whatever you want.

An imaginary friend or is
this the guy with the dead dog?

It's that guy.

Yeah, he looked all right.

I'll be in the garage.

Don't get pregnant.

Unless you want a job
you don't want.

Practice! Practice, people!

That's you, Boykewich.

Pfft. You are not
a percussionist.

Yeah,
I'm not an athlete either,

so I figure I'll just stay here
for the rest of the year

so I don't have to take P.E.

How do you do it?

How do you do something
you're bad at every day?

I've been doing it all my life.

I played tennis.
I'm no good at tennis.

I tried golf, baseball,
basketball, basket weaving.

I'm no good at any of it.

And I can't really dance,
can't really sing.

None of it bothers me.

What bothers me, however,
is your close proximity.

And just know that
if you plan on hitting me,

I'm no good at fighting either.

But I do have money.

Yeah, so you win,
and I lose, I guess.

What?

I just came here to concede.

You were right.
I don't have money

so I probably would not make
the best father for the baby,

or the best husband for Amy.

You know maybe Amy went back with you

because the adoption
fell through.

Maybe she's just looking
for security.

Yeah, or maybe
she just loves me.

Pfft.
She loves your money anyway.

She loves the idea of not having
to worry about our son's future.

So you and Amy
have a nice life with my son.

A nice comfortable life.

You win, Ben.

Thank you for inviting me
into your home today, Grace.

I like to know what's going on
with the young people, with teens.

I'm the father of a teen myself.

I think you both know Jack.

Oh, that's right. You're Jack's dad.

I forgot about that.

He doesn't know anything.

But I'm always
willing to learn.

Is this regarding Jack?

No.

Oh, good, heh.

Made me nervousthere for a second.
So, what is this about?

We need you to restore
her virginity.

- But not because of Jack, right?
- Right.

I've made a few mistakes.
Maybe even more than a few.

Although I don't like to think
of sex as a mistake,

it's just that I
want my virginity back.

Well, let me go out to my car
and I'll wave my magic wand over you

and abracadabra,
you're restored.

Uh, just joking.

Oh, ha-ha-ha.

He's so funny, isn't he?

Yeah. Hysterical.

Well, actually no one has ever
asked me to do this before.

I've never done this so I suppose the
theory is that with God's forgiveness

for what you've done
in the past,

and God forgives everything,
you can always start over.

No matter what you've done.

So, Adrian, if you just ask
for God's forgiveness

for your sexual transgressions,
you have that forgiveness.

You are a virgin again.

Well, spiritually,
not physically, of course.

Of course.

- Are you, uh, Catholic?
- Why?

Well, this is the nature of
the confessional, is it not?

You, each week you confess,

and then you are forgiven
and you start over.

Yeah, if you confess
week to week.

I think this is our opportunity to win
her over to our team, isn't it, reverend?

I don't do that.

I don't steal sheep
from other pastures.

Now, if they wanna
wander over to our land,

I'm happy to shepherd them.

Of course, this is not about our church
doctrine, or your church's doctrine.

This is about you and God,

this is about your life,
this is about your beliefs.

If you wanna be forgiven, and
commit to a life of abstinence and purity,

then do it, Adrian.

But I do think that once you
make a promise to God,

that promise
is a real commitment,

you don't just say it to say it,
you know what I mean?

Yeah. I know what you mean.

So think about it.
And if that's what you want,

ask for God to forgive you.

Whether you do that
by yourself or with my help,

or the help of someone else,

and you are on the way
to a new beginning.

Thank you so much,
Reverend Stone.

I'm just gonna run upstairs
and get my pink sweater.

Mm-hm.

Aren't you the girl
who broke up Jack and Grace?

Not anymore.

Okay, I'm okay...
Okay. All right.

Okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.

Hi, yeah, uh,
I just got mugged.

Uh, I was getting out
of my car and--

No, no, I'm not hurt.

I'm at--

No, no, they didn't
have a gun.

I don't know, it was
my candy bar money.

I don't know, I can't think!
I was just mugged!

Two hundred dollars, about 200--

Hey, that's money for
disadvantaged youth!

You have a urinal
in your garage?

Not to worry, we have
indoor plumbing too.

Come on in.

So that was your dad out there?

He lives out there?

Yep. Sit down.
Make yourself at home.

Oh, so I brought
you something.

Wow.

You're a teenage alcoholic, huh?

No. It's for your parents.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Red.
No refrigerator, right?

Right.

So aspartame?

I hate small talk.

Government conspiracy.

Global warming?

Also government conspiracy.

Really?

Well, if they get everyone
concerned about global warming,

no one will pay attention
to the fact that there's still

large scale animal testing.

Interesting.

You know that the presidency is bought
and paid for by the cosmetics industry.

I better look that
one up at the library.

So they can't trace it.

Are we
expecting someone?

- Hello, Ben.
- Benny. Thomas here.

How can we help you?

He said how
can we help you, Ben?

I brought this for Amy,
it's just a gift.

Hey there, bus-stop boy,
how's it hangin'?

-Good afternoon, sir.
-Benjamin.

Hi, Mr. Juergens.

I brought this for Amy.
When she gets home from work,

there will be a little treat
waiting for her.

That Amy.

- I hope she's okay with this job.
- Yeah.

I mean it's really good
that she got something,

it's good that Anne
got something.

But, this?
I mean, come on.

I'm so glad you said that.
We're in complete agreement.

I hate that either one of them
has to work at the Hot Dog Hut.

But it's a job.

It's an honest job,
and people love hot dogs,

and although they're
not Boykewich hot dogs, I've--

I've heard that
they're not too bad.

You know, we were thinking,
Ashley and me and this guy here,

we were thinking about going and
having dinner with Anne and Amy.

You wanna go?
You know where they are exactly?

Yeah,
but when I spoke with Amy,

she said she didn't want
any us to come down there.

That Amy. She probably
wants to focus on work.

I'm sure she can take a break,
it'll be fine.

Yeah, all right,
if you say so.

Let's go,
my dad's in the car.

Hold on,
I wanna get my camera.

I'll be waiting in the car.

I don't guess we're allowed
to stay in the house alone.

If we walk into the kitchen
right now, he won't miss us.

Invisible, remember?

Oh, yeah.

Give me your sneakers.

Wha--?

- Thanks, dude.
- Thanks.

I'll buy those back from you.

Here.

All right,
what you got, man?

We're gonna give you
a three-second head start.

Three sec--?

- One...
- Okay.

- Two.
- Pebble! Pebble!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

We're just joking,
having fun, come back.

- Really?
- Yeah.

All right.

What, you think your shoes
are cooler than ours?

Let me answer
that for you: No.

We don't want
your shoes, man.

Thank you.

And what
are you running from?

I'm trying to catch the guy
who stole my candy bar money.

Wait a minute,
you're not, um...

You don't know a kid
named Duncan, do you?

Yeah, I'm his mentor.

- What?
- Duncan pulled that $2 candy bar scam on you?

It's not a scam.
They're for disadvantaged youth.

And those are $5 bars.

Wait, wait.

You didn't get
with Shawna, did you?

Look, man, Duncan is not
in favor of anybody,

whether white, black,
brown, male, or female,

having a sexual relationship
with his sister.

And it's not about race,

it's about a simple matter
of Duncan

doing what he can do
to protect Shawna

to ensure that she is never hurt,
emotionally or physically.

Thus, the ruse
of staging a fake robbery

to perhaps scare you off,

or just let you know
that Duncan is on to you

and will be watching you
for the duration

of your relationship
with Shawna.

Or your relationship with
Duncan, whichever lasts longer.

-Huh?
-Psych major.

A fake robbery?

You are chasing Duncan.

You know that, right?

You need a ride?

Yeah, actually I do.

Thank you.

Oh, I wasn't expecting you.

And I wasn't expecting to see
you wearing Grace's sweater

and a pearl necklace.

Can I come in?

I'm expecting someone.

Your brother?

Maybe.

You can't sleep
with your brother, Adrian.

I'm not planning on it.

I'm not planning on having sex
again until I'm married.

I'm sorry, did I walk in
on fantasy night?

Is this some sort of role play?

I'm thinking about
reclaiming my virginity.

How do you do that?

- You wouldn't understand.
- Try me.

Maybe I'd like to reclaim
my virginity with you.

Does it involve sex?

Because I'm needing
some sex, Adrian.

I've had a hard day.

So you've come over here
for me to make it all better

by having sex with you?

- Yeah.
- No.

I'm not doing that anymore.

You don't make
a good tease, Adrian.

I'm not teasing. I'm serious.

You can't reclaim your
virginity, don't be ridiculous.

You are who you are, Adrian.

You can't rewrap the gift.

It's been given, many times.

It doesn't matter. I'm starting over.

Great. Start over with me.
I'll be your first.

I don't know.

I don't know if I want you
to be my first.

Hey.

Good night.

Good night, nice meeting you.

Sorry, that was
my old boyfriend Ricky.

He just dropped by.

No explanation necessary.

We're not exclusive.

This is for you. Remember when
you said you wanted a teddy bear

for Christmas and didn't tell anyone

because you were scared
you wouldn't get it?

You actually listen
to what I'm saying?

Yeah, you say
interesting things.

- Anyway, there's your teddy bear.
- I love it.

Good.

I'm a virgin.

See, that's interesting
that you would say that.

Because before, you told me
you were not a virgin.

Okay, well, I'm thinking
about becoming a virgin.

See, I'm thinking about asking God
to forgive me for having sex,

and then promising not to have
sex again until I'm married.

You think God cares about that?

More importantly, do you?

No, I don't care.

I was thinking that
this is our third date so,

you know, if you wanna
take that next step,

and have sex...

So the courting is over?

Because I really
like the courting.

I-- I like the teddy bear.

I like the flowers, and
I like dating. I like you.

I like you too.

Would you still like me
if we had sex?

I'd probably like you a lot.

Look, let's talk about this.

About what?

Let's talk about sex.
Birth control, past partners.

- Ricky.
- Why?

Because we should talk
before we have sex.

Again, why?

Because there's just some business
we should get out of the way

before we
get into a relationship.

Sexual relationship or
relationship relationship?

Isn't sex part
of a relationship?

I am so confused.
Uh, maybe it's this sweater.

Maybe it's like
those traveling pants.

Let's go get
a bite to eat and talk.

- Have you had dinner yet?
- No.

It's okay, Adrian, it's okay.

Virgin, or not a virgin,
it's okay.

No, Dad, I'm not upset.
I really don't care.

No, we don't want hot dogs,
I made something here.

Thomas.

All right, bye.

Here's that thing that
I was talking about.

The same corporation that
produces the aluminum cans

owns the recycling plant,

so what we're actually doing
is helping them to resell us

what we already paid for.

I would be upset but you gotta
admit, that's pretty smart.

And a nickel on every can
goes to no-kill shelters.

Yeah, but they charge
250 bucks for rescued dogs.

Yeah, I went there.

That's crazy.

Thanks, hon.

Anytime.

Cheers.

So how was your day?

School sucks.

Oh, I'm sorry.

This is delicious.

It's nice to have
a home-cooked meal.

People don't do this enough.

Dinner with the family.

Yeah, then again,
we're not family.

How old are you really?

I'm 13.

I knew it.

There you go.

How much longer
you guys working tonight?

Should be finished in an hour.
Unless the boss says otherwise.

We got an inspector
coming tomorrow.

Well, good luck with that.

- Good night.
- Thanks.

Just one more hour, Amy.

And we will have completed
our first day of work.

Another hour?

Yes, another hour.

But you've made 50 bucks
tonight. Isn't that great?

-Anne?
-Hey! Look who's here!

- Oh, no.
- Hi, Leo. Hi, Ben.

Wanted to check out the
competition. How are the dogs?

Why don't you order
a couple and see?

I'll do that, give me a couple
of them, just mustard.

Ben?

Oh, uh,
just Amy, please.

Couple of yellow dogs

and Amy, why don't
you take a break?

I should have taken French.

So how are you?

I'm good.

So is George.

Hee-hee! Employee of the month!

Make fun of me all you want,
George, but I love working here.

I'll be over
there with Amy--

No, wait.

Thanks.

There you go.

- Keep the change. Thank you.
- Thanks.

Those dogs look good.
Can you make me one?

You know how I like it.

Fernando,
can you take a hot dog,

split it down the middle,
put it on the grill to brown it,

and then take those onions
and put it in the middle

with just a little bit
of ketchup?

Coming right up.

What?

What, miss?

I thought you
only spoke Spanish.

I thought your daughter
needed a job.

Thanks, Fernando.

Gracias.

- What, you speaking the language now?
- Maybe.

Maybe I'll learn Spanish
if I work here long enough.

- You're really gonna work here?
- I am working here.

And you know what?
I love it.

What about your power suit, huh?
Admit it, you can't get a job.

- Not a real job.
- This is a real job.

- No, it isn't.
- Yes, it is.

- Admit it. You need me.
- No, I don't.

- Here.
- Read the grease on the wall,

you're never gonna make it.

Next!

Hi. Can I just have
a cup of coffee?

Uh, you could, but

all we have
are these Styrofoam cups,

and I hate those. You wouldn't
happen to have a coffee mug on you?

I do in my car.

If you wanna go get it,

I'll brew a fresh pot
of coffee for you.

That one's been in there
a while.

You know, I've been coming
to the Hot Dog Hut for a while

and, uh, I've never seen
you here before.

And I was gonna ask you
what you're doing working here

but I guess I found out.

- Divorce, huh?
- Yep.

- Is this your first day of work?
- Yeah, it is.

I looked around for a while,
but, um,

yeah, I've been home
for 15 years so...

This is the best I could do.

You know what? It's actually
not so bad, it's kind of fun.

I'm the architect on the
renovation across the street.

We're trying to transition
into being a more green firm.

You wouldn't know anything
about environmental supplies,

or construction,
or anything like that?

No, but I didn't know anything
about hot dogs till today.

You should give me a call.

We're looking for somebody
to do research,

manage vendor relationships,
that kind of thing.

You should come see me, we should talk.

Okay. I will. Thanks.

Oh, wait, do you want
that cup of coffee?

Oh, I never really
wanted a cup of coffee.

Call me.

Ah. America.

But you don'havet
to go back there.

You don't have
to go back to work.

I'm gonna take care of you.

- How?
- Amy, my dad is the Sausage King.

You don't have to be
the hot dog girl.

I hate
being the hot dog girl.

As if being pregnant at 15
isn't humiliating enough.

Like you said,

your mom's just trying
to teach you a lesson.

She's probably just trying
to motivate you

to find the right family
for the baby.

You'd think that Ricky's mom
would help out.

She's a social worker.

Oh, that's right.

She just lured
Donovan and Leon away

with those foster kids.

Probably because Ricky really
doesn't want the baby adopted.

I don't care
what Ricky wants.

He said he'd go along
with whatever I said.

As it turns out, I think he's
going along with what I said.

Ricky and I got into
a couple of,

heh,
heated discussions today.

- About?
- About the fact that he can't afford

to pay child support and raise
a baby for the next 18 years.

And that he should just back off

and let you and me
take care of the baby.

Amy, if you choose
to keep the baby,

I can give your son
the best of everything.

He's right.

No, he is not right.

Are you out of your mind,
Benjamin?

You don't have a dime.

I have dimes, you don't.

And what Anne is doing here
is very admirable.

She's working hard at an honest
job to get what she wants,

and if you wanna be
this baby's father,

you should be willing
to work hard too.

And even then,
you may not end up rich.

It's not about being rich.
It's all about working.

Working is a good thing
in and of itself.

I started out working
at a butcher shop

when I was 13 years old.

I worked my butt off
to get what we have.

And if you love this girl, and
you wanna take care of her son,

you get your butt up and get in
that kitchen and help her out.

And tomorrow
start looking for a job,

the way I told you
to do weeks ago.

It's okay. He'll come around,
I'm the only child.

Right, got it. Thanks, Dad.

Parents. Butcher shop
when he was 13.

It's the family butcher shop.

We still own it.

What?

You don't have
to help me out in there.

Amy, I'd do anything for you.

Anything but get a job.

I know, that was a joke.

I'll try to get something.

- Kid's gonna drive me nuts.
- That's a kid's job.

To bust your ass
every single day.

He's a good kid, but if he thinks
he's ready to be a father,

he's got another thought coming.

I mean, if Amy wants
to keep the baby,

and he wants to be a part of her
life, part of the baby's life,

that's fine with me,
I love both of 'em,

but he should work
a little harder, a lot harder.

I had no idea
Ben was this lazy.

He's nice, he's smart.

But man, is he lazy.

I'm gonna give him a job
at that butcher shop

where I started out.
Come on, let's go.

He can get a ride home
from Anne and Amy.

Yeah. Okay.

Hey, you wanna beat that guy up
who was flirting with Anne

on the way to the car?

There was a guy
flirting with Anne?

You saw him.

Yeah, well, what are you
gonna do, George?

Come on. Let's go.
