The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 1, Episode 8 - Your Cheatin' Heart - full transcript

Previously on "the secret life
of the american teenager"...

I can't imagine not seeing you every
day, being with you through all this.

I wanna do this all alone.
I'm going to my grandmother's.

I don't wanna say goodbye
because I don't want you to leave.

How can you be angry
with a guy who loves you

despite the fact that you're
pregnant by another guy?

Are you seeing adrian's
mother? You're the boyfriend?

You stay away from my
daughter and you keep

your mouth shut about
me and adrian's mom.

We're not friends because
your boyfriend and I hooked up.

I've forgiven him.



What do you even want to talk about?

I think I do wanna be involved.

Don't even know why I did this.

Maybe it's because I asked
if you wanted to be friends.

You need me around here!

I'm not so sure that I
want to fix our marriage.

Perfectly capable of
speaking for myself!

Since when?

Since I discovered
that I am going to have

to take charge of another
human being's life!

I might as well just start with my own.

Mimsy!

Oh, amy. Ohh.

Honey. Ohh.



Good morning, sweet pea.

- Morning.
- I was talking to the baby.

Oh, please, now, no shame.
Not a moment of shame.

Not with me, because
I am so proud of you.

You are a wonderful girl.
You are a wonderful girl.

So you're going to have a baby.
So what? Who cares?

Life must have wanted another
beautiful creature on this planet.

Who knows life's plan?

We don't know how this
is all gonna turn out,

whether it's gonna be a good thing or
a bad thing, so don't worry about it.

Not a bit.

Oh, and thank you. Thank you for
letting your mother call me and tell me.

Oh, no, mimsy, thank you so much
for letting me stay with you.

- mom?
- Oh, hi.

Um, I got up at four and rushed down
here 'cause I couldn't wait to see my amy.

But I thought I was
gonna drive amy up to you.

Well, I'm not a planner. You know
I'm not a planner. Neither are you.

And neither are you. Obviously
you take after your mother and me.

- What's going on?
- Ashley.

- Hey, mimsy.
- Little ashley.

I didn't know you were coming,
but no one tells me anything.

If anyone had told me
that someone in the family

was gonna be pregnant as a teenager,
I would have said it was you.

Yeah, well, um, is that bacon?

Yes, it is. The real thing. Thick cut.

I brought it from home
just for your father.

Where is he?

Um, I-I told you. They
don't tell me anything.

Uh, he had to go to a furniture
thing, um, in north carolina.

North carolina?

Like george ever bought
furniture made in this country.

Come on. Where is he?

In north carolina.

He buys a lot of furniture
in north carolina, mother.

But he should be back by
tonight if you can stay.

Oh, sure. We can take
off in the morning, right?

I guess.

Tomorrow? Can't you
stay for, like, a week?

- A week?
- Ashley, your grandmother -

Uh, no g-word, dear.

Mimsy doesn't have her
things to stay for a week.

Probably not even for a night.

You know, why not?

We can pick up some things at the mall,

and then we'll go
during the school hours

so that you won't run into any
of those stupid teenage girls.

I guess.

Mom, the thing is is amy's already
said goodbye to her friends,

and I think she really wanted
to get out of here today.

She didn't say goodbye
to milli and vanilli.

So how are madison and lauren?

I said goodbye to them.

- No, you didn't, not in person.
- Did too.

You know, you're acting very
strange, and you're not a good liar.

So, come on, come on, give
me the straight poop now.

- You and george are not...
- No, we're not. We're fine.

We're very happy.

But we'll all be a lot happier when
he gets back from... North carolina.

Get over here.

hey, you! Snap out of it. Daydreamin'?

Visual realization.

How's it goin'?

I see her everywhere I look.

Then stop looking for
her everywhere you look.

how?

Just stop, otherwise you're
gonna make yourself miserable.

I am miserable.

Get used to it.

That's what love feels like misery.

No, it's the absence of love.

That's what the absence
of love feels like. Misery.

You wanna start focusing
on something else?

Like...?

Like school. Don't forget you came here to
get an education. Focus on your education.

It's an interesting idea.

But I can't focus on anything but amy,

every second of every minute
of every hour of every day.

What's the point in
doing that to yourself?

And don't say you can't
help it. You can help it.

Right. Only I...

I think that if I keep picturing her,
then... She'll maybe show up here again.

And that could happen. I mean,
she could come back to school.

Ben, she could come back,
but most girls like amy go

into a continuation program,
where they go to smaller

classes at another school
with other girls having babies.

So even if she decided to
stay at home with her parents,

more than likely she'd go
into the continuation program.

It's not likely that
she'd come back here.

He gets to come to school every
day as if nothing happened.

- That's right.
- No, that's wrong.

That's just... It's wrong.

Would you just focus on something else?
You have to focus on something else.

Choose what you think about,
and don't think about amy

every second of every
hour of every day.

You'll go crazy.

That's odd. You just sound crazy.

She's not coming back
to school here, ben.

Wow. Insensitive, don't you think?

Truthful.

Yeah, but what is the truth? I
mean, the truth is, it could happen.

She could come back to school.

Ben... ben!

I'm sorry.

I just hate to see you do this to
yourself your first year of high school.

And what are you doing to yourself?

You have anyone in your
life, or are you just

too scared of being
miserable to get involved?

Well, I'd rather be miserable
and involved. That's just me.

Great. That went great.

Look, I'm sorry I haven't
called. I've been really

busy lately, learnin'
about babies and stuff.

- Me. Can you imagine?
- Nope. I can't imagine.

But if you wanna come over, i'll
remind you of where babies come from.

I know you don't take my problems
seriously, but I care about this baby.

Or, do you just think you should
care, so you're acting as if you care?

- What's the difference?
- Exactly.

Look, ricky, if you're
gonna be involved with amy

and the baby, I don't
think I can see you anymore.

- Why not?
- Because I don't want to.

Grace! Hi.

Hi, adrian. Hi, ricky.

So, um, thanks for
letting me come by your

house the other night.
I had a really nice time.

Oh, me too.

Oh, did you know that
grace and I are friends now?

No, I didn't. Grace and I are
friends, too. Aren't we, grace?

- We're all friends, aren't we?
- Yeah.

And as of right now,
that's all we are. Friends.

- Bye, grace.
- bye.

She's just upset because I've
decided to do the responsible

thing and be more involved
with amy and the baby.

Oh, I didn't know. I heard she
wasn't coming back to school.

Yeah, she's... Goin' to her grandmother's.
She's runnin' away like a child.

I mean, it might be a
good time to grow up.

There are schools for girls like her.

I guess it's just a little harder for
her to come to school than you because

soon people are gonna be able to look
at her and just tell that she's pregnant.

- People are lookin' at me, too.
- Yeah, I guess they are. Maybe.

Well, it just goes with the territory.

We did something we shouldn't have,

and now we're both havin'
to suffer the consequences.

Yes. I just hope the baby
isn't paying the consequences.

Is she planning on keeping the baby?

I hope so, but I think she's
leaning toward adoption.

That's good. Don't you think?

I don't know. I don't know
what it's like to be adopted.

- Ricky, I'm sorry.
- That's ok.

Look, you think I can come
over tonight and talk to ya?

I really need someone
to talk to about this,

someone who's not so
emotionally involved, you know?

I don't know.

Are you seeing jack again?

Not really. I guess
we're just friends, too.

He hasn't called, so...

You want some advice from a friend?

Just forget about that guy.

- Because...?
- Because you deserve better.

I'm not saying that I'm better, but
there's better out there, better than jack.

Excuse me for just a second. I
have to ask amy's friend something.

- Hey, it's madison, right?
- What do you want?

- And if it's sex, forget it.
- No, but thank you for offering.

Is that what you consider an offer?

I just wanted to know if amy's
left for her grandmother's yet.

Well, I can neither
confirm or deny that.

What, are you runnin'
for office or something?

I know what's goin' on. I know
she's goin' to her grandmother's.

I just don't know if she's there yet.
I'd like to call her. I need her number.

Well, I'm not gonna
give you her number.

If amy wanted you to have her number,
she would have given you her number.

And you don't have it, so she
obviously doesn't want you to call her.

Obviously.

- wow.
- Wow? Wow what?

You have incredible
eyes, you know that?

Thank you.

Come on, let me have the number.

No. I will not let you have her number.

You will not believe
what just happened.

- What happened?
- Ricky just tried to seduce me.

- That's funny.
- Why is that funny?

- Come on.
- What?

- Why would he try to seduce you?
- Oh, to get amy's number.

You think he would try to get you to sleep
with him just to get a number out of you?

He slept with amy. Why wouldn't
he want to sleep with me?

- That's not the issue.
- Well, what is the issue?

The issue is... Well, I
don't really know what the

issue is, but I just don't
think he would do that.

- Well, why not?
- why?

You're just jealous that he
wanted to seduce me and not you.

What? No. I'm sure he
didn't ask me for her number

because he knew I
wouldn't give it to him.

Oh, because you're too smart?

- I didn't say that.
- Yeah, well, you're thinking it.

You think you're smarter
than me, don't you?

Well, you think you're
sexier than me, don't you?

I have amy's number,
too, so I don't know why

he would try to seduce
you and not seduce me.

- Well, it's just what happened.
- Well, we'll see about that.

hi. What's up?

You wanna open that door?

Don't get nervous.
I just wanna talk to you.

I'm not nervous. School
policy. Why would I be nervous?

It's personal, ok?

I don't want anyone
hearing what I have to say.

- I can talk to you, right?
- Right. Just like any other student.

Ok. Well, I need some help.

ok.

I wanna find my father.
I wanna know who he is.

You have a name?

If I had a name, then I'd
just go on the internet.

- Your mother knows who he is?
- Well, I would hope so.

- I don't know, ok?
- Have you ever asked her?

- No.
- Could you ask her?

I don't wanna ask her. I
wanna do this on my own.

Be a lot easier if you had a name.

Is that what you're looking for? Easy?

No, no, no. Whoa. Don't
start that stuff with me, ok?

I'm not interested in high school
girls, not even one as smart as you.

- Really?
- Really.

You're gonna be late for class.
Lemme do some research.

- ben, Where's your lunch?
- I don't feel like eating.

You have to eat, ben. You can't just
wait to eat till you see amy again.

I see her everywhere I look.

The solution for that
may be to go blind.

I know a great way to go blind.
Ah, I knew I could make you laugh.

I don't get it.

Uh... I'll let you take this one.

You know, loving yourself.
In a physical way.

Masturbation. That
won't make you go blind.

It was just a joke.

It's just an old wives'
tale. It's not even funny.

- It made him laugh.
- It didn't make me laugh.

That's because you don't engage
in any eye-damaging activities.

According to the
encyclopedia britannica,

92% of men masturbate and
between 70-80% of girls.

- Girls?
- Girls?

Yeah. Please.

You-you think girls don't do that.

Well, you don't.

I think I'll skip lunch
and go study somewhere.

I have an algebra test tomorrow. Bye.

So she has sex with
herself but not with me?

Whoa, be careful. You don't wanna
slip into a double standard here.

I feel like I just found
out that... Alice cheated.

You feel like your girlfriend cheated?
Oh, come on, please.

At least you know who you're
competing against... The drummer.

But... Who do you think
alice is attracted to?

Who do you think she's fantasizing
about? Who is she having sex with?

- You don't wanna know that.
- Oh, yes, I do.

No, you don't.

I bet it's that stupid
justin timberlake.

Don't go down this road. Don't.

I'll see ya.

Can I ask you something?

Sure. But I already have a girlfriend.

Do you mind? It's personal.

All right, you guys. Move it.

Do you have any idea of how I could
get a copy of my birth certificate?

Uh, there's probably a copy
in your permanent record.

You know, when you entered
school. Kindergarten?

- Thanks.
- Wait. Wait. I charge for this stuff.

I'm all outta cash.

Are you that desperate to get ricky?

I am not desperate. You are
desperate. I can get any guy I want.

Yeah, well, I bet I could get a boyfriend
before you could get a boyfriend.

Really? 'cause you look like a tragic
teen star in her declining years.

Oh, excuse me, janet. It looks like you're
about to have a wardrobe malfunction.

- Is that some kind of racist remark?
- Oh, so now I'm a racist.

Hey, ricky.

- hi.
- hi.

Just so you know, i'm not gonna give
you amy's cell phone number, either.

- All right.
- Just so you know.

Yeah, I didn't think you
would. That's why I didn't ask.

Yeah, I guess you know
that I'm smarter than that.

No, you're just more
difficult than that. Than her.

No, I'm not.

Hey, don't apologize. I like
difficult women. I like a challenge.

Yeah? Well, I am a challenge.

Hey, if I give you my cell number, would
you give it to amy and ask her to call me?

I don't think she
has my number, either.

Yeah. I guess I could do that.

Hang on a sec. You have a
copy of my birth certificate.

What? No. But I know how to get a copy.

All you have to do is fill out
a form and get it notarized.

It's real easy. I'll give you a
website. It's a very simple process.

- I know all about the website.
- Then what's the problem?

Did you read the fine print?
It takes four months to get it.

Look, there's a copy
of my birth certificate

in my permanent record, isn't there?

Four months isn't that long.

oh, come on. If you have a copy of my
birth certificate, just give it to me.

- Can't.
- You could if you wanted to.

Hello. I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

- Cindy, is that you?
- Cindy? Cindy who?

Uh, cindy. Cindy lou.

I told you I'd call you
when the bunk beds got in.

I know you wanted to surprise
little tommy for his birthday,

but... I don't think
they'll be here in time.

- George...
- You know what?

Get that kid a puppy. That's what he
really wants. Got a customer. Gotta go.

- hi.
- Hi. It's me.

- Me who?
- George.

Anne, is that you? Why you whispering?

- Because my mom's here.
- Mimsy? Really? She wanna see me?

She doesn't know
you're not living here.

I told her that you're
in north carolina.

That's just great.

So don't drop by here until I've
called and told you she's left.

So you'll let me know when your
mother's taken our daughter away?

Gimme a break. She's gonna be two hours
away. You can visit her anytime you want.

Yeah, when I get back
from north carolina.

Hey, it's me.

You know I hate to ask, but...

I really need someone to talk to.

- hi.
- hi.

So, did dad get back
from north carolina yet?

I don't wanna tell her, ok?

ta-da. You rember this one?

- That's mine, isn't it?
- Mimsy brought it for me.

She said she has a lot of
your stuff that might fit.

I didn't know that you saved
that. I loved that sweater.

Me too. Do you rember when you wore it?

Well, I don't remember if it was a
special occasion, but I wore it a lot.

It was a long time ago.

You wore it when you
were pregnant with amy.

No, I don't think so. I
think I was in junior high.

No. I remember you were wearing it
when you told me that you were pregnant.

Really? I had that in college?

I distinctly rember because I told you,

as I've told amy, that
adoption is not an option.

You know, we're a big family.
We can take care of this baby.

You and george and
me and even ashley...

- We can take care of the baby.
- Well, mom, I don't know about that.

Ok, we still have lots of time to think

about what's right for
amy and for the baby.

Oh, well, we don't need any
more time. Amy and I have decide.

We don't want adoption.
We wanna keep the baby.

Amy, let's think about it, ok? There's
still plenty of time to think about that.

No, mom, this is my baby. And,
you know, I wanna keep her or him.

And mimsy definitely
agrees that ben and I should

get married and possibly
go on a honeymoon to paris?

A little wedding gift from mimsy.

- What?
- Well, he's a good boy.

You haven't even met him. He's 15 years
old, just like amy. They're both 15.

- Oh, who cares how old they are?
- I do. And so does george.

Well, george always
agrees with me, so we'll

wait till he gets home,
and I'll talk with him.

You know, this house is plenty big enough
for one more, and a baby is very tiny.

I mean, you only weighed 3 pounds.

No. I weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces.

You were tiny. You were very tiny.

Tsk, now, amy, the
baby can stay in here

for the first year or
two, and then, after that,

we'll find something bigger,
like a dresser drawer.

Ashley, can you call your
dad to see if he's landed yet?

I don't know why I did it.

I've been married for 15 years.
She's need me for the past 15 years.

She doesn't need me anymore.
She doesn't even like me anymore.

Ignore that.

I'm an attractive guy, don't you think?

I'm smart, funny. I mean,
why can't she see that?

That's a lot to see. Maybe
too much for the eyes.

That's true.

- So you still with that guy?
- How long have I worked here?

Years.

And you don't know i'm
still with that guy?

no.

Yes, I'm still with that guy.

His name is leon, and we're
married, happily married.

10 years.

I didn't know that. Is that legal?

A marriage is more than a piece of
paper, george. It's a commitment.

I know that.

So, you never...?

No. He never did, either.

We have a guest room.
It's all yours if you want it.

Oh, thanks, I'm fine.

Short commute.

In that case, I set the
alarm for 7:00. Good night.

- Maybe I should be going.
- You just got here.

Yeah, you just got here.

I'm just not comfortable talking
with... A third person listening in.

- No offense.
- Why don't you leave us alone, grace?

Ok. I know you wanted to talk to ricky.

Women. Huh, you can't live with them.

Can't live without 'em, yeah.

Is that what you wanted to
talk to me about... women?

- Yeah. My mother.
- Your mother.

- She was old.
- She's not that old.

And between you and
me, she's kinda hot.

- You are confused.
- I'm confused?

I am adopted.

My mom died.

Go away.

It's me.

I just wanted to come and say
goodbye in person. See mimsy.

Don't cry. It's gonna be ok, all right?

You look, uh, different.

Oh, I look like a slut, don't i?

I am a slut. Lauren and I got
in a fight today at school.

Over...?

Ricky.

Wait. Ricky? What?

Well, it all started when
ricky tried to seduce me.

- Ricky.
- Hello? He seduced you.

Why wouldn't he try to seduce me?

Wait, ricky's hitting
on you and lauren now?

Well, not lauren. Although
that would make her very happy.

I don't understand. Lauren
wants to go out with him?

Well, not really.

Ok, but you're dressed like this
because you wanna go out with ricky?

Ok, I'm over it. It was
just temporary insanity.

Lauren and I both wanted him to
want us. And not the both of us.

Like, I wanted him to want me,
lauren wanted him to want her.

Just got into this stupid competion.

I don't know why I would want a guy to want
me when I know he's such a horrible guy.

I understand. Believe me,
I completely understand.

It's kinda how this
whole thing happened.

I knew it was wrong, I knew
he was wrong, and yet, i, uh...

And yet...

Where's lauren?

Her parents still won't let
her come over here, so...

I figure she'll probably give you
a call after she figures I've left.

You're gonna call me, right, every day?

Please don't cry, amy. I know
you're sad about leaving, but just...

Please don't cry.

Madison, I'm not sad because of that.

I'm sad because I have no place to go.

Sorry.

Mm. It's lauren. She
probably wants to say goodbye.

- hey.
- Hi. Amy? I thought I called madison.

- Are you at mimsy's?
- No. There's been a little complication.

- Oh. Are you ok?
- Not really.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry my parents
won't let me come over there.

Yeah, me too.

Uh, madison said you
guys were in a fight?

Yeah. We're both stupid.

- I'm so sorry.
- So am i.

We should never let a guy that we
don't even like come between us.

Even guys we do want.

Well, unless he's, like,
a really hot celebrity.

Madison.

It's an extreme case that would
never happen. Friendship first.

I know, even though we're both
desperate to get a boyfriend.

Well, it'll just
happen when it happens.

I know someone who
wants to go out with you.

You do?

Have you ever considered
dating my brother,

who happens to be sitting
right here listening to us talk?

- Hi, madison. It's me.
- It's jason.

Uh, I told lauren it was
completely unnecessary for her

to ask you when I'm perfectly
capable of asking you myself.

Really?

Really. By the way, I like the new you.

Ha. Thanks. I would
love to go out with you.

Ok, well, um, i'll
call you later? Ok. Bye.

- Oh, my god!
- I can't believe it.

Johnny depp.

Ok. Alice, our next
guess is johnny depp.

Oh, uh, he's married to
some french woman apparently.

so?

Well, obviously alice
doesn't go for married men.

Can't she just fantasize
he's not married?

Can't you... no.

- Brad pitt.
- Brad pitt.

- "ew. " uh, oh, raymond.
- Romano?

No. The guy in science class.
The kid with the good hair.

- She hung up.
- I don't get it.

I don't get why she has sex all
by herself when she could have me.

You get it. You do the same thing.

So do you.

I quit.

You can't quit. Once you
start, you can never quit.

You're just taking some time off.

No, I quit. I'm in
love with amy juergens.

I don't have anyone in particular.

I know I can make you laugh.

Amy was supposed to call me when
she got to her grandmother's.

She'll call you.
I bet it's shia labeouf.

Aw, please stop this.

It's shocking to me that she
could put me off for this long.

No, it's just shocking to you how she's
been putting you off for this long.

You ever think about having sex with
amy? Of course you think about it.

- I don't wanna talk about it.
- She's already pregnant.

You and her could... And...

We're gonna wait until we get
married. I love her that much.

Oh, yeah? Well, I love alice that much.

And if she'd let me, i'd
have sex with her tonight.

I came over here just to
tell you that you're an idiot.

Why is that? Because I didn't know
about your boyfriend or boyfriends?

no. Because I'm thinking about you.

I fantasize about you.

I have this whole story I think
about where we're married and I'm in a

wedding dress and we're in paris, i'm
on a balcony, and you rip the dress off.

Enough, enough.

I have to go now. I have
an algebra test tomorrow

and my mother drove me over
here, and she's waiting for me.

You were in the car with
your mom while we were

talking about who you
fantasize about when you...?

Yeah. She's my mother, and she's a
therapist. We talk about everything.

That's not right.

Well, look at the upside of things...

She didn't tell her dad, although I
think her mother will tell her dad.

Oh, why did I do this? What was I
thinking? Why didn't I take your advice?

You want a ride home?

No, thanks.

Made me kinda sad.

It's a sad story with a happy ending.

Where's his father?

He left when he was born.
He couldn't handle it.

And so his mom was left
all by herself, and she

didn't have insurance, so
my dad helped them anyway.

That's why he left
the practice he was in.

He's constantly doing
things he's not supposed

to do as a doctor, like helping people,

so when tom's mom had to go into
assisted-care living, he brought tom home,

and then he and my mom
and me, we all adopted him.

Why are you telling me this?

Well, we thought maybe if
we told you more about us,

then you'd tell us more
about you, and if we knew more

about each other, maybe
we could really be friends.

Yeah.

Or maybe you'd decide that I'm
not the kind of guy you think I am.

Maybe if you knew who my
mother was or who my father was,

you'd be too scared to
even be in a room with me.

I think I better go.
It was nice talking to you.

Thanks.

Hurry up.

I can't believe you two would
sneak into my office at night.

How'd you even get into the school?

The gym.

It's the construction.

Anyone can get in, so it's
not like we were breaking in.

How'd you get in?

You're not supposed to
be here, either, sir.

The gym. And I know the security guard,

who called me when he saw
the two of you in here.

Then why didn't you call the police?

'cause I told the security
guard that this might happen.

And I'll be the one to
ask the questions here.

You know I could have the two of
you suspended from school for this?

And you could be kicked
off of majorettes.

And you could be kicked
off the football team.

- Please don't do that.
- Yeah, that's scary.

But it's probably not as scary
as getting fired from your job.

I don't have your permanent record, ok?

Permanent records are kept
in the principal's office.

But you have access to it.

I do, I have access.

And I went to the principal's office
during school hours and pulled your file.

I figured you had a point
about the entire school

board knowing who your
father is when you don't.

What do you get out
of this, if I may ask?

Grace and I are friends now, kind of,

and I told jack that i'd
get them back together.

how?

- I'll figure it out, ok?
- You better.

I will.

so?

It's not a legally binding document.
It's just a copy of a copy of a copy.

No, no, no. No touching.

- Thank you.
- So when do I get grace?

I said I'd talk to
her. I'll talk to her.

Let's get outta here.

- hi.
- How are you doing?

Lousy.

How about you?

- The same.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too, I mean, about mimsy.

hi.

I think I'm the one who should
apologize. I should've told you.

It's kind of embarrassing having
alzheimer's when you can rember it.

You know, I forgot to take my medication
when I left the house this morning,

and I'm really much better
when I'm on my medication.

You know, mimsy, I could still stay with
you. I mean, I could take care of you.

Oh, amy, I know you could, honey,
but then who would take care of you?

I'll take care of you. Both
of you. All three of you.

You check back with us after you get
through this stage, and then we'll see.

Mom, you can't just go home.

No, I wasn't planning to.

You see, when you called me and
told me that you were driving

up, I ran out and pulled the
"sold" sign out of the front lawn.

And then I went into a panic,

because I was planning
on getting situated first,

and then telling you that I'd moved.

- to?
- To a very nice assisted-care complex.

You know, I never liked that house.

No. You know, your father
surprised me with it because he

liked it, and I always wanted
a fireplace and a screen porch,

and so now I've got a
fireplace and a screen porch.

You know, it's odd that they'd provide
a fireplace for someone in assisted care.

It's electric.

You know, I'd been planning
on traveling for the next few

months, a few of us there who
are still capable of traveling,

and there's this very nice
doctor and his wife and... They

said they would take us on
a trip through europe and...

Well...

I really would come and take care of
you though, amy, if you really need me.

Mimsy, it's...

- It's ok.
- Thank you. Thank you for that.

I knew you'd say that. I
mean, I want to help, I do,

but I'm really more of a
good-time girl, you know?

I'm really not a good helping type.

And besides, look at all the
people you have to take care of you.

And I really would like to have this
vacation while I still can, you know?

And you should take a
vacation while you still can.

Take a little break
from george and go on out

and do whatever it is
you've always wanted to do.

Life is short, anne.

Believe me, it's over
in the blink of an eye.

- So you know about george and me?
- Yeah, I know.

But don't worry. I'll soon forget.

It's ben.

Hello.

I hadn't heard from you.

I know it's been a long day, but
I just wanted to say good night.

Good night.

- I love you, amy.
- I love you, too.

- I'm really gonna Miss you.
- I'm not goin' anywhere.
