The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 1, Episode 9 - Slice of Life - full transcript

Previously on "The Secret Life
of the American Teenager"...

Thank you so much for
letting me stay with you.

I think if I keep picturing her,
she'll maybe show up here again.

If you're gonna be involved
with Amy and the baby,

I don't think
I can see you anymore.

She's upset because I've decided
to dothe responsible thing.

I wanna find my father.

My mom's here.

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

Adoption is not an option.

I should've told you.



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

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm not going anywhere.

You know,we don'thave to go tonight

if you don't want us to.
I don't have to,anyway.

No,you should go.

You should see your dad.

Why?

Because he's your dad,
and he asked to see you.

and Amy,you need to talk
to him about schools,OK,

because we have to make a decision.

I don't know what I wanna do
about school,other than not going.

Well,That's not really an option.

Look,I don't understand why I can't
call in sick for five months.



Me,neither,but you can't.

So

Do you know where he's taking you?

Where?

Did he tell you not to tell me?

OK,you guys have fun.OK?

I'm gonna have fun.

I mean I love having
this house to myself.

We're just gonna hang out.

But hang out where?

You don't even wanna leave the house.

At his place.You know.

He has a place now.

Oh.

He has a place now.

Yeah,but I'm sure
it's a real dump.

It better be.

Thanks,fellas.
This was a really good idea.

I don't know why you volunteered,

But thank you.

I just want you to be able
to see your daughters.

Oh,and don't tell my mom
I let you do this.

Are you kidding?

No. She'd kill me especially
since you dumped her.

That's a good point.

Oh,Listen up,
I'll be outta here by midnight,

and my guys will waiting to
bring the stuff back in,

I promise,all right?

And I owe you big time.

See ya.

Here goes nothin'.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager 109

It's great,Dad.

Yeah,except for the fact that
you got one bed for the two of us.

Strange,with you owning
a furniture store and all.

It came furnished.

It's a sublet kinda thing.

You konw,I don't wanna sign
a long-term lease

until I know what happens
with your mother and me.

It's month-to-month.

Besides,I thought it'd be fun if

you konw you girls slept together
like you did when you were kids.

Yeah,Dad,great.

We're not spending the night.

We never agreed to that.

I know,but sometime you might want to.

Doubt it.

So you guys wanna get some pizzaor
something? You wanna go out?

No,I definitely don't wanna go out.

I don't wanna run into anybody
I know from school or band.

Amy,you're with me now.

If anybody looks at you or
says anything to you,

I'll stick a rocket in their pocket

and send 'em to the moon.

Thanks,Dad.

I appreciate your support.

Do you mind if I call Ben?

Oh,you and Ben,you're still...

Yeah,we're still...

Do you mind?

No,go ahead. That's good.I like Ben.

What?

So whose place is this,
your girlfriend's?

What?

Dad,it smells like perfume.

Well,obviously girls used to live here.

That's a girl's room back there.

How do you know
it's not a man's perfume you're smelling?

Maybe it's just me you're smelling.

I think we all know your smell.

What kind of pizza you want?

I'm not hungry.

I can't go anywhere.

I don't wanna go anywhere.

What about if I came over there?

I'd love it if you came over here,

but you konw,it's kinda creepy.

Feels like I'm in
someone else's home.

So is that a yes?Is it OK?

Look,Ben,I'm dyingto see you,
I really am.It's just...

I don't know how this thing works.

I'm pretty sure Ashley and I
belong to my dad tonight.

You belong to me.

We belong to each other.

I have to see you.

I feel the same way.

I have to be here for my dad.

I see my mom every day.I just...

I have to at least
spend one night with him.

I really wanna see you.
It's just that...

I don't know.

Come on. Ask your dad.
He won't mind.

I can't.

I don't think I can share
my time with him with you.

Besides,we're supposed to talk about
my plans,you konw

what I'msupposed to
do about school stuff.

But your dad likes me.
I like him.

And we both love you.

I miss you. Ha-ha.
I really miss you.

Then ask him.

You konw it wouldn't be fair to Ashley.

What wouldn't be fair?

Um,if Ben came over.

No one cares. Dad wants to know
what kind of pizza you want.

Sausage and peppers.

Hey,I'm on my way.

I'll ask for your address
when I pick up the pizza.OK,bye.

Well?

Hey. I didn't know
you were coming over here.

Um,listen, I gotta go
drop off a pizza to Amy.

She's at her dad's condo,but,uh,

make yourself at home.

Oh,Maybe I'll go with you.

Uh,well,um...

Alice had to go to hergreat-aunt's.

- It's hergreat-aunt's birthday.
- Oh

Um. Why didn't you go with her?

I didn't want to.

Don't you usually go to
all the family parties?

Yeah,usually.

Why not this one?

If you don't want me to go
with you,that's OK.

I can just go home.

No,no. It's not that
I don't want you to go with me.

It's just that this is
Amy's first visit with her dad

since her dad and her mom split up,

and I probably shouldn't even
be going over there,so...

Is everything OK?

Yeah,I'm OK.

No,something's wrong.

Yeah,something,
but we can talk tomorrow.

You go to Amy's dad's,have fun,
don't worry about me.

Oh,OK. Yeah,
I really don't have time to talk.

I gotta go get the pizza.

You wanna come with?

Yeah,thanks.

I just wish you had told me that
this is what we were gonna do.

I told my parents
we were getting pizza.

We got pizza.
It's in the back seat.

I know, but I didn't tell
them the whole truth,

and I've already been ina lot of trouble
for not telling them the whole truth.

You think if we would've
told 'em we were going

to look for my father,
they would've let you come with me?

I kinda doubt it.

But maybe my dad would've come
with us to do this.

My dad's really good at confronting
people in difficult situations.

Thought your parents were out
on their corny date night.

I don't think it's corny.

I think it's kinda romantic.

Please.

Date night's for people
who aren't having sex.

Oh,my parents have plenty of sex.

How do you know?

I'm just assuming.

Where's your brother?
Where's Tom?

He's home alone.

It's another reason why I don't feel
comfortable staying out too late.

I mean he has been home
by himself before,but still...

I told my parents
we wouldn't be gone too long.

I just wanna see
what the guy looks like.

You konw I'm not gonna cause
a big scene or anything.

What?

What time can I see you?

I told you,I'm busy.

Come on,Adrian. I can't go
this long without you,

or someone.

Thanks. I'm sure you mean
that as a compliment.

Look,I told you,
I can't tonight.

Why not?

I just can't,OK?

Oh,and don't bother calling Grace.
She's with me.

Good night.

Ricky.

I,uh,talked to Jack earlier.

Actually,I've talked to him all week
about you.

OK,I'm not sure
I'm comfortable with that,

but thank you for telling me.

Of course I'm gonna tell you.

Because we're friends,right?

And Jack and I are friends.

Right.

I just don't get why he can
call you, but he can't call me.

'Cause he's tired of being rejected,

and he's waiting for you
to call him.

The guy is madly in love
with you.

Call him,take him back.

I don't know.
Just doesn't feel right now.

Too much time has passed.

Is that the problem?

Too much time has passed?

Or is the problem
that you like Ricky?

I know,you like Ricky,

But you know I like Ricky,
and like I told you the first time I met you

We're having sex.

I know that,and I'm not
interested in having sex with Ricky,

and he's not interested in
having sex with me.

We're just friends.

Come on,Grace.
Ricky does not have friends.

Ricky makes friends with girls
he wants to have sex with.

Ricky and I are just friends,

and he's not gonna try to
have sex with me.

Mm-hmm,I'm sure
that's the same thing

Amy Juergens was thinking the night
she had sex with him.

Poor Amy.

No. Poor Ricky,poor baby,

not poor Amy.

A girl should know
how to take care of herself.

How hard is it not to get pregnant?

I don't know.

Then stay away from Ricky.

Hello?

Hey,what are you doing tonight?

Who is this?

You know who it is.

Why are you calling me?

I just need someone to talk to,
Lauren.

About what?

About what else -
Amy and the baby.

I have to talk to someone,

someone who has her best interest at heart.

I'm not gonna talk to you.

Why not?

You didn't seem
to have any trouble talking to me

last week
when you wanted to talk to me.

Now I wanna talk to you.

I'm busy.

Doing what?

You're not doing anything,
are you?

Yes,I am.

Can we go out and just talk,
please?

You're out of your mind,
you know that?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I thought you were
going out with Jason.

Oh,I am. I just didn't tell my dad.

Oh.Why not?

I don't know. I like it
better this way.

You konw he just dropped me off.

He thinks I'm spending
the night like always.

So,where's Jason taking you?

To the movies,
then to get a pizza.

That swanky pizza joint
is donating money to the school

for every student who buys
a pizza tonight,so...

Pizza and a movie.

Original.

You can't go. No offense.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Do you have any friends
you could fix her up with?

Her? Uh,no,I don't.

I can get my own date.

Really?

I can.

OK.

Well,you know what?

I will help you
find a date next week.

You got me a date.
It's the least I can do.

I said I can get my own date.

When I'm ready,OK?

OK.

OK. Uh,we should go.

We don't wanna wait around
till she finds a date,

'cause that could take years.

As much as I appreciate the pity,

I don't think either one of you
have been on an official date,have you?

Yeah,so go. Get outta here.

I got things to do.

Well,good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Who is it?

Leo Boykewich.

I heard you were home alone.

Thought I'd drop by.

Maybe we could talk.

I'm Leo,Ben's dad.

Anne,Amy's mom.

This a bad time?

No,no. Come in,please.

I,uh,I should've called first,at least.
I apologize.

Oh,no. I apologize
for looking like this.

I'd go change and clean myself
up a bit,but,um...

I don't really feel like it
'cause...

Because your mom just got
diagnosed with Alzheimer's

and you and your husband
are having problems

and your lovely daughter has gotten
herself into a little bit of trouble

and the girls are going to visit their dad
for the first time since you split up

and because that wine
doesn't go with that cereal.

Aw... it's OK.

Everything's gonna be all right.

So how do you like the pizza,
Mr. Juergens?

You can call me George.

Could you pass me another slice,George?

Not you. You call me Mr. Juergens.

Mr. Juergens.

That's more like it.

Dad...

He's kidding.

Oh.

It's good pizza.

Oh,yeah,it's Fianno's.

Fianno's? Where's Fianno's?
I never heard of that.

It's a place my dad
likes to go to.

He actually arranged this thing with the
school where they donate money to the school

for any business
they bring in tonight.

I should do that with my store.

Donate money for any sales
the students bring in.

That's a good idea.

We should bring a piece to Ashley.

What's your name again?

It's Henry,Dad.

I'm just kidding.

Why you so down,Harry?
What's up?

Girlfriend problems.

Thanks.

Girlfriend break up with you?

Did she?

No. No.

You ever meet Amy's sister?

No.

Oh. She is the shyest little girl

just a couple years younger t
han you three

but the sweetest,nicest cherub
you'd ever wanna meet.

You konw when she heard you
and Ben were coming over,

she ran to the back room
like a scared little kitten.

Hey,do me a favor.

Would you bring my little angel
a slice of pizza.

Oh. OK.

Thanks,Harry.

What do you want?

Your dad asked me
to bring you some pizza.

Put it down,then back out of the room
with your hands over your head.

No.

I won't back out of the room
with my hands over my head,

because I'm tired of people
telling me what to do

and when to do it
and when not to do it.

I'm a man,damn it.

Well,in that case,ou can stay.

Well,OK.

Who is it?

- It's Ricky.
- Ricky?

Hey,buddy.

Hey. Is Grace home?

No. She's out with Adrian.

Really? Your parents
let her go out with Adrian?

Maybe I could wait for her.

I have a friend coming over.

You have a friend
coming over? Like a date?

Good for you.

Do you have any idea
where Grace and Adrian went?

Maybe they are at Adrian's house.

Yeah,maybe they are.
Thanks.

Maybe you should write
him a letter first.

Maybe.

Or maybe you should call him and see
how he feels about meeting you.

Maybe.

Adrian,I'm sorry. I don't feel
comfortable doing this.

I think we should go.

I've waited 16 years for this.

You can't wait another few minutes?

OK.

What exactly are we waiting for?

I just wanna
see the guy,OK?

How do you even know
it's the right guy?

Finally!!

Sorry,Tom. Busy night.

The high school gets credit for every pizza
any student orders tonight.

It's been a little crazy.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Tom,that's a lot of money.

You want more?

Oh,no. I'm just saying,
careful with your cash.

Thanks for the tip.

Ha-ha. Thanks for the tip.
I get it. Funny.

Good Night,Tom.

Hello.

Hi,Tom. It's me. I'm checking
to see how you are.

I'm fine.

Do you need me to come home?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I just thought you might be
scared there all by yourself.

No.

He says he's OK,
but I don't know.

Look,I know this is
really hard for you,

but what if the the guy sees us
sitting outside his house?

Feel better now?

Yeah.

Haven't really had anyone to talk to.

I mean,I don't know.

What are we gonna do,Anne?

They're in love.

It's wonderful
they're in love,

but they're
just 15 years old.

It's complicated.

Or not.

She's gonna be a mother.
We accept that,Ben and me.

He wants her in his life
and I want her in his life.

She's a nice girl.

Thank you.

I think I'm just still in shock.

I don't understand it.

It seems so unlikely
that she would...

Have sex,yeah.

I think most of us feel that way
about our children,

our teenagers.

I spoke to the counselor
at school.

Marc Molina,yeah. Nice guy.

He said there's
an extension class

she can go to
with other girls who are...

Is that what you want?

No.

I want this
not to be happening.

But it is,and it's
gonna be happening

whether she goes
to extension class

or she's home schooled
or goes back to her old school.

Oh,I don't think Amy
could do that.

She could if she wanted,
if you wanted.

I can't even get her
to leave the house anymore.

She's gotta get over that.

She can't hide her face in shame.
What happened happened.

Like I said before,she's a good girl,
and I mean that.

She is.

She is a good girl.

And you're a good mother,
and you'll get through this

and Amy will get through this.

But don't let her hide from people,
and don't you hide from people.

Don't make it so important.

It is what it is,you know?

You want me to get her
a private tutor

so she could stay home and get
her schooling, and I'll do it.

You want to send her
to a private school

or-or a different school,
just let me know I got connections.

But,please,don't let Amy feel like
she's any less of a person

than she was before this happened,

Because she's not,
and neither are you.

Just live with it,Anne.

If you don't mind me sayin'
that,just live with it.

Because there's nothing you could do.

Just accept that things
are what they are,

and that's OK.

And if I could help you
in any way,please,

just let me know.

Thanks.

So,did you wanna talk
or something,or...

are you just content
to sit there and stare at me?

I'm OK just staring at you.

I don't guess that,uh,at 13,
you're allowed to date or anything?

Are you kidding?

After Amy,I don't think
I'll be allowed to date till I'm 21

unless I undergo some voluntary
sterilization or something.

That would be a shame.

Why is that?

I don't know.

You're really pretty.

Come on.

Well,I mean,you know
you're pretty,right?

I mean,you're beautiful.

You may be the most beautiful
girl I've ever seen.

Just shut up,OK?

You don't know that?

Please - Please don't
tell anyone,OK?

Never.

I've-I've been
through a lot lately.

I love Stephane Grappelli.

- You do?
- Yeah,I love him.

Oh,with,uh,
what's his name?

Uh,oh,

- Django Reinhardt.
- Reinhardt.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Oh,God. Amazing.

Yeah. I don't think there's
anything like the two of them.

Unless it's the two of us.

Who?

Uh,Stephane Grappelli
and Django Reinhardt?

They're jazz musicians.
Or, they used to be.

Yeah,I know who they are.

- No,you don't.
- Oh,yeah.

Stephane Grappelli is
on a Pink Floyd album -

Wish You Were Here.

- It's true.
- Dad.

- Pink Floyd?
- Look it up,cool cat.

- OK.
- Dad.

What?

Let's just change
the subject.

So,have you thought any more
about coming back to school?

Oh,yeah.
No,I can't do that.

Well, other than home schooling,
what are your options?

Should I be here while you and Ben are
discussing your educational future?

Right. Um,that's
probably something

you'd like to discuss
with Amy and her mother

without me.

Maybe I'll just go find out
what happened to Henry,

and maybe we'll be going.

Maybe.

But it's been great
seein' ya.

I'm sorry.

Probably should have asked
if Ben could come over.

No,it's OK.

I just wanna spend a little time
with you and Ashley myself.

What do you think's
goin' on in there?

I don't know.

Look,Amy,I know
high school students stink,

but that's your school.

And if you wanna go
back to your school

instead of being sent out
to the edge of the village

for some extension class
or something,

then claim your rights.

You go back to school
with Ben and your friends,

and you hold your head
up high.

I want to.
Dad,I can't.

I really - I can't.
I'm not that brave.

Yes,you are.

And you're already past
the worst part of this.

You told me.

Now that I know,everything
else is a piece of cake.

No. It isn't.

Kids at my school are mean.

You're not mean.
You're a little bit -

You're a little opinionated
about some things

but you're not mean

And you love me.

Kids at my school
do not love me.

I do,Amy.

I love you very much.

And Ashley
and... even your mother.

But...

I've made some mistakes.

Yep. So have I,Dad.

Oh,sweetie.

Oh,uh,I'll get that.

It's probably a neighbor.

No one knows
I've moved in yet.

Adrian,it's me.

I brought you and Grace
a pizza.

Is that Ricky?

Adrian?

I really didn't
think this through.

Adrian?

Dad,you're dating Adrian?

Adrian's mother
is a friend of mine.

Well,she was a friend
of mine.

I said I'd made some mistakes.

People make mistakes.

I told my mom you were bringing by a
book I need to write my paper.

I don't have a book.

Yeah,you do.

Nice work.

I brought you a pizza.

I'm not hungry.

Suit yourself,
but I got it for you.

Yeah,sure you did.

And I'm sure you just
wanna talk.

I do.

I'm not doing anything
with you.

I'm not asking you to do
anything with me but talk.

So start talking.

My girlfriend -or ex-girlfriend
Adrian hates me.

Amy hates me.
Everyone hates me.

So?

So I think more people
will hate me

if I have to walk the hallways
with a pregnant Amy Juergens

walkin' the same hallways.

So I was just thinkin',
can't you convince Amy

it's not a good idea for her
to come back to school?

You know
it's not a good idea.

Because her continuing her education
will cut into your social life.

Yeah. But I don't
want her ridiculed.

I don't want anyone makin' fun of
the woman carrying my child.

Look,no one's gonna
say anything to me

'cause... I'm me.

But Amy...

she's a movin' target.

Well,what do you know?
We agree on something.

Yeah. I don't even know why
she decided to have the baby.

We both know
we made a mistake.

We both know we're not ready
to be parents.

Now I'm forced
into takin' care of her,

takin' care of both of 'em.

Guess you should have been
more careful.

I should have been
more careful,

she should have been
more careful.

Yeah,you both should have
been more careful, but you weren't.

Now you are both responsible
for bringing a child into this world.

Jealous?

Oh,yeah,I am jealous
because I am dying

to be a teenaged mother,because
that's what every girl wants to be.

I meant are you jealous
that I had sex with her?

No.

Are you sure?

Kinda got the impression
from you and Madison

that you're both jealous.

You know,
not every girl wants you.

Yeah,some girls think you are
an uncaring,heartless jerk.

Some girls,yeah.

Come on.

I'm not a total jerk,am I?

What's a girl
as good-lookin' as you

doin' home on a Saturday
night alone anyway?

I see right through this,
you know that?

I know that.

And still,here you are.

- Well..
- Hi..

Well,hi yourself.

Are you Tom?

Are you Betty?

Yeah,I'm Betty.

You know,it's gonna
cost you money

if you want me
to be your friend,you know.

OK.

I just have a feeling
something is going on.

I really have to
go home,Adrian.

If I'm not home by midnight,
my parents are gonna kill me.

Oh,Lord,
keep us safe from harm.

Hi there.

Hi.

My wife says you've been
parked out here all night.

What do you want?

Adrian?

Yeah?

Are you Adrian Lee?

Yeah.

My agreement with your mother
is that this would never happen.

Please don't come
around here again.

I have a family.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Oh,God,you too?

What do you mean,
"you too"?

You're cheating on Dad?

Leo,Ben's Dad,
came by.

Why?

I don't know. He just wanted to make
sure that I knew that he was OK

with you and Ben going out.

He came over
just to tell you that?

Couldn't he just call or send some
sausage servant to tell you?

Let's get back to "you too."
Is your father dating someone?

Did he bring someone over
while you guys were there?

No.

But he is dating.I mean,
or he was,anyway.

Who?

You know.

He's having an affair
with Adrian's mother.

You know,Adrian,the slut,
the majorette,drummer's girlfriend.

Slut must run in the family.

You know what,Ashley?

Dad said
that he would tell her.

Mom,Dad's not having an affair.
He's not even dating anyone.

They might have dated, like,
once or twice, but they're just friends.

He borrowed her condo
so we could hang out tonight.

When do you stop
being so gullible?

When the baby arrives?

Ashley.

Why can't you both just be
like normal parents

and get addicted to Internet
orn or something?

Why do you have to get involved
with other parents?

What about you, princess?

Why do you have to get involved
with my friends' friends?

Henry has a girlfriend.

Alice and him have been
dating since third grade.

She broke up with him.

Alice broke up with Henry?

Damn it,I'm no better
than Madison and Lauren.

I don't want you two girls using
that kind of language,OK?

Mom,I'm pregnant,and you're worried
I'm gonna use bad words?

I don't know
what I'm saying,OK?

I just found out that your
father has a girlfriend.

It's one thing to suspect
something like that.

It's another thing to have it
confirmed by your own daughters.

He made a mistake.

He said that? To you?

Yes.

Mom,Adrian's mom is
out of town all the time.

She's a flight attendant.
She travels a lot.

Somehow Dad convinced Adrian
to let us borrow her condo

'cause he knew I didn't want
to go out anywhere.

He just did it for me
because he knew I didn't want

anyone to see me like this.

Besides,Dad's just living
at the furniture store.

Wait,What?When did he say that?

He didn't tell me that.

Yes,cause you were hiding in
the back room like a little baby.

Maybe if you hadn't acted
like a child all night,

you would have known.

You think you're so grown up
just 'cause you're having a baby.

OK,stop it.

Wait. Wait a minute.

He's living
in the furniture store?

Why isn't he staying
in a hotel,or an apartment or

Oh,no.

No!

No,no,no.

Mom?

Dad's not living
with Adrian's mom.

OK? He's not.

Oh,no.

What?

Dad didn't,um,
mention anything

about being broke,
did he?

What?

Well,why else would he be
living at the furniture store?

OK,Mom,you have to
let him come home.

I don't mind people knowing
that she's having a baby

and he's having an affair and
you're doing whatever with Ben's dad,

but I do mind people
knowing that we're poor.

That is the
ultimate humiliation.

What,are we so poor that
he has to sleep at his own store?

Please,Mom,just let him
come home. Please.

I don't understand
why you guys

think he's broke
or we're broke or whatever.

Maybe Dad just enjoys sleeping
at his furniture store.

Now you see
how she got in trouble.

Just when I thought things
could not get any worse.

Mom,You have to go get him.

You cannot let him display
our poverty to the public,OK?

It's just -
I can take a lot of things,

but I cannot take that.
I just cannot.

But,Ashley,
I don't want him here.OK?

I really don't want him here.

Mom,I hate him
as much as you do,OK?

But we can't just make him
look like a big loser.

We're all gonna look
like big losers.

Is that what you want?The whole
world is gonna pity us.

Ashley,I can't.

Not after everything
that he's done.

I just can't.

Mom,I am asking you.

Let him come home.

It's just for a while,please.

Please.

OK,Ashley,
but I'm not calling him,OK?

You have to call him.

And it's just till we figure
something else out.

The refreshments
are delicious.

Oh,yes.

No smoking.
It's bad for you.

Oh,I know,
but believe me,

this is not the most
dangerous part of my job.

I mean,I hope I live long enough
to die of lung cancer.

Want one?

Have you smoked before?

No.

Oh,you know what?

Yeah,you know,
it might make you sick,Tom.

It's very addictive.

You smoke one,you know,
seems like nothing.

You smoke another one.

Ah,no big deal.

Then you smoke a third one.
Blammo,you're hooked.

And it is very,
very difficult to quit.

That's a good idea.

Tom,I need you
to know something.

If you don't p me
the money,

a very mean guy
is gonna come and beat you up

with a bag of oranges
that he keeps in his trunk.

So you need to pay me
the money. I gotta pay him.

He doesn't let me
keep the money,you know.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

Well,now you know,and that's
what friends are for -

to tell you stuff like that.

You wanna know
something else?

OK.

OK. Well,lots of the girls
are addicted to drugs,

all kinds of terrible,
terrible drugs.

And that's why
they need the money.

It's a very,
very dirty business,

and most of the men who call me,
they're not very nice.

And if they were nice,
they would have,like,a girlfriend

or a - or - right? - or a wife or
something,right?But they don't.

You really hit the jackpot
when you got me.

Yeah,but there's
a lot of other girls

on the website
that - they're not nice.

They don't care about you,
and they're not your friend.

And they'd come into your beautiful
home,and they rob your family.

So will you do me
a favor?

Will you stay away
from those websites?

'Cause someone's gonna
take advantage of you.

Will you promise me?

I love my sausage pizza.

And I really liked
our conversation.

That's gonna be $200.

Hi.

Thank you.

Tom?

Who's this?

Here,take that back.

How are you?

Good night,Tom.

- Beautiful home.
- Oh,thanks.

Tom,who is that?

She's a friend.

Like Ricky.

He came here tonight.

Really? What'd he say?
What was he wearing?

So when are you gonna
break up with Alice?

I don't know,

but the sooner,the better.

Maybe you should sleep on it.
Maybe you'll feel differently tomorrow.

No,I want it over with.

I want it over with
by tomorrow.

You've known her since the
third grade.This is Alice.

She's just not somebody
you "get over with."

Not everyone is as lucky
as you are.

Some people get stuck
in relationships

they don't want to be in
just because they're too scared

to let go of it,
I don't wanna be like that.

I'm too young to be like that.

If I'm never as lucky as you,
if I never find someone,

if I never fall in love,
then... at least

I will have tried
to get what you have.

The perfect girl,who's pregnant
by some other guy.

I'm sorry,Ben.

I forgot for a minute.

It's OK.

You're not changing
your mind,are you?

No.

Never.

She hasn't even
tried to call me.

She totally takes
me for granted,

and I'm tired of it,
I'm just tired of it.

Then break up with her,
but be nice about it.

I mean,Alice is tough
on the outside,

but she's gonna be really upset.
You know that,right?

I know,I know,
but what can I do?

I can't do this anymore,
and I have to break up with her.

I have to.

OK.

What?

Alice didn't by chance
break up with you,did she?

Yeah.

Hey.

Your friend Ricky
dropped by.

Blew my cover.

Let me ask you something.

How does a guy stay married
to a woman for 15 years

and have two
daughters with her

and then
just walk away

Have we ever had
a conversation?

I don't think so,

so I don't think we'll be
starting with that one.

Why not? I wanna know.

Why do you wanna know?

Because that's what
my father did.

He just walked away,
and he never looked back.

And he knows I'm here -he knows -
and he acts like I don't even exist.

Oh,Adrian,oh,honey,it's OK.
Don't cry. Don't cry.

You got your mother.

She'll be home
in a couple of days.

It's one thing
to cheat on Mom.

It's another thing
to cheat on Amy and me.

I'm never gonna speak to you
as long as I live,you got it?

Tell him he can stay
at the house

if he can't afford
to stay anywhere else

and if he isn't still
with your mother

and if he's... really living
at the store.

I left my cell phone
in your room.

Go home.

What's the point now?

The point is
if you want forgiveness,

eventually they'll forgive you.

If my father ever came to me
and asked me to forgive him,

I would forgive him.

Not me.

Good night.

Come on over.
