The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 3, Episode 18 - Another Proposal - full transcript

***

But your son asked us if
we would take you in,

and well, yes, we will take you in.

If you're gonna do school
by yourself at home,

then you're gonna have to do school
homework by yourself at home.

I thought our mother might

be able to help point me
in the right direction.

I will drive you up there next weekend,

and we can both have the weekend with her.

To visit, not to do your homework.

I'm thinking about getting married.



You're gonna marry his old girlfriend?

They're friends.

They're not getting married.
We are if she says yes.

Don't get married to Ben
just because you're pregnant

and you like all the nice things
he does for you and the baby.

You have to really love him to marry him.

Well, he hasn't asked me.

Ben's gonna ask Adrian to marry him?
I think so, Ruben, yeah.

And if there's a wedding,

it's whatever wedding the two of them want.

I'm gay.

I wish you'd have told me
before you told other people.

I'm sorry. I wanna meet your girlfriend.

Ben. I do love you,



and I'd be honored if you'd be my wife.

Yes.

Married. They're getting married.

Ridiculous.
Completely and totally ridiculous.

They don't even know each other.
They never dated.

They've never even been out.

Or they hadn't been out
before Adrian got pregnant.

And she only got pregnant

because she was trying
to get back at Ricky.

They're only getting married 'cause

they're trying to beat
Ricky and me to the altar.

I mean, really, Mom, can you believe it?

Adrian and Ben. Adrian Boykewich.

What kind of a name is that?

I'll tell you what kind of a name it is.

It's a name where the two
names do not belong together

because the two people
don't belong together.

I bet they have some ridiculous ceremony

in the garden like Leo and Betty

and invite the entire high school.

Was that John?

I think I heard John. I'll get him.

I think it was Robie.

I mean, if anyone should
be getting married,

it should be Ricky and
me, not Adrian and Ben.

Can't they at least wait
until the baby comes?

Hello! Is anyone listening to me?

Thank you. Mmm. A million times.

Thank you for letting me do this.

For letting me come over here.

I really needed to get out of that house.

I don't know how you did it.

This really wasn't my idea.

It was Amy's idea.

And believe me, I know
what you two are up to.

What are we up to?

We're not up to anything.

Yeah, you are.

Ever since Ben and Adrian
announced their wedding plans,

Amy's obsessed with the
idea of getting married.

She's afraid that if left alone,

I'll do something that prevents
us from ever getting married.

But if she doesn't stop
talking about Ben and Adrian,

I'm gonna start feeling pressured,

and I'm gonna have to
do something about it.

Oh, you're not gonna do something

like sleep with other girls, are you?

No, no, no, no.

No, don't do... Amy...

That girl loves you.
She really, really loves you.

Yeah, and I care about her, too,

but not enough to marry her
before Ben marries Adrian.

Not even enough to marry her
before Ben divorces Adrian.

Jeez, did you invite someone over here?

No. I would never invite someone
over here without asking.

I'm not rude. Jeez, I'm not a total loser.

Invite someone over.

Hi. I was in the neighborhood.

No, you weren't. Hi there.

Mmm.

This is my mother. This is Nora.

Nora, George. George, Nora.

Hi. How are you? Nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.

I hadn't heard you're hot.

Well, hey, you're kind of hot yourself.

Have a seat.

Amy's visiting her mom this
weekend with her sister and John,

but I guess you know that.

Yeah, I kind of do know that.

So, I really just came over

here to make sure that
he's not cheating on Amy.

Yeah. Me, too.

Amy sent you over here?
She already sent her over here.

Very thorough girl, that Amy.

So, have you made

a lot of friends since you've moved here?

No, I can't say that I have.

Yeah, I'm a little short of friends myself.

Ever since Ann moved out,

I really haven't had
another adult to talk to.

Hmm. I'm kind of having
the opposite problem.

I have way too many adults to talk to.

Mm. I'm living with Margaret and Shakur.

Do you know Margaret?

Yeah, Margaret.

Not my favorite person. No offense.

Oh, none taken.

You and me... we're gonna
get along just fine.

I hope so. We could be family one day.

Parents-in-law.

Oh, jeez, I'm not even gonna think

about getting married for years, okay?

I'm not.

Aah, don't be so sure.

Yeah, don't be so sure.

So... Hmm.

...you're not dating anyone?

No.

Yeah, you are.

You are? Is he a nice guy?

Uh, not really.

Nice guys aren't my type.
Why? Are you a nice guy?

I can be. Or not.

Yeah, okay.

I'm not cheating on Amy. You can go now.

Come on. Don't be so rude.
The man just got here.

Yeah, the man just got here.

And this is where our table would be.

And then everything would be a circle.

You know, just a big circle.

Isn't that a great plan?

I'm gonna go back and
say hi to Tom and Jack.

I've seen this a few times.

Okay.

You know, like the circle of life.

Uh-huh.

God help me.

Or not a wedding like
she's planning anyway.

I mean, I still haven't even told my dad

that we're getting married
before the baby comes.

He doesn't want us to get
married before the baby comes.

I thought if we did that, we'd
just run off and get married.

You know, just us and a few friends.

Like your first wedding.

That was my first date with Tammy.

Yeah, exactly like my first wedding.

That might be your problem.

Adrian doesn't want a wedding
like your first wedding.

Of course, that wasn't legal.

This is gonna be legal and binding.

I don't mind that...

that it's legal and binding.

I just... Oh, man.

I don't want a huge wedding
with lots of people.

Nor do I wanna pick out
the bridesmaids' dresses

and the tuxedos and the linens
and the china patterns.

I'm 17.

I am barely 17, and I have a china pattern.

Okay, we have a china pattern.
Like we even need china.

Most of the time, we eat

with our parents or at
the school cafeteria.

Are you gonna live with your
parents or Adrian's parents?

My parents.

Really?

I would assume so.

I mean, we've certainly got
enough room at our house,

and we've got help at our house, too.

Yeah, but maybe Adrian
wants to live with her mom

so her mom can help raise the baby.

Her mom didn't even raise Adrian.

We are not living at their house.

I cannot live in the same
house as Adrian's parents.

Am I in the wedding? Am I?

Don't ask me. I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

The guy asks his friends
to be in the wedding,

and the girl asks her friends.

How many friends? No. Never mind.

Don't answer that.
I already know the answer.

As many friends as she wants.

So I guess Henry's gonna be your best man?

I think my dad will be my best man.

Oh, if he's still speaking
to me once he finds out

we're having a big wedding
before the baby gets here.

Are you sure about that? Oh, yeah.

Adrian spent all week making wedding plans.

Already? And they settled on a date?

Well, not the exact date,
but before the baby comes.

All right. You win. I lose.

Where's the wedding?

I don't know, but the invitation
list is a mile long already,

so it can't be here.

I have been thinking maybe
here or at my church.

Yeah, uh, I don't know
about a church, Ruben.

I guess they could get married
at our house if they want.

Maybe the wedding could be

just a quiet civil ceremony
like Cindy and I had.

With an invitation list a mile long?

I don't know, Leo. I'm

just happy Ben and Adrian
are getting married.

I wish I could fly away from here

and just keep flying.

I just love flying.

I fly back, Betty.

I don't just fly away.

Yeah, but if you wanted,
you could just fly away

and just keep flying.

I was just saying to Betty that
having a teenager daughter

who's having a baby and getting married

is a lot of pressure,

so sometimes it's great to
just leave it all and...

Fly away.

I don't know why that just
sounds so good to me.

Probably because having a
teenage son at the house

who's getting married and having a baby

is a lot of pressure for you, too.

We're all under a lot of pressure.

Guys, I know those two wanna get married,

but I just think we should all think

of about putting our money
into a small place for them

rather than having them
live with either of us.

How much money?

Less money than this
wedding's gonna cost us.

I think that's a good idea, Cindy.

But Adrian wants Ben and the
baby to live here with us.

And I'm sure Ben wants Adrian
and the baby to live with us.

But I think it's best if they
live in a place of their own.

I mean, they're having a baby.
They're getting married.

Time to leave home if they can.

Maybe we put a down payment
on a small condo for them.

How much of a down payment?

What the heck.

I don't want them to leave

school and work to make mortgage payments,

so I'll buy them a small condo.

If, and only if, it's a

small wedding and a small
wedding reception.

Because none of us want
to invest in a wedding.

We wanna invest in them, right?

Absolutely.

That's very generous, Leo.

But we'd like to contribute
to that small condo.

I just hope that Adrian has
your decorating skills

so she can make it a lovely
home for the three of them.

Oh, thank you, Betty.

I just wanna compliment you

on just what a homey place this is.

You know, I... I love the pictures

of your grandfather in
the upstairs hallway.

You know, it just gives you
such a sense of family history.

That's not my grandfather.

Those pictures belong to Ruben,

and those pictures are of Jesus.

Oh, well, such a family resemblance.

Well, look at the time.

I think we better get going, Betty.

You know, if you wanna take

one of Grandpa's pictures with you...

Uh, we got a lot of artwork at the house,

and plenty of it in storage.

Uh, thanks, folks.

We're happy we got to talk, and
thanks for inviting us over.

Really? That's Jesus?

You will be my maid of honor, right?

I guess. I mean, yeah, if you want me to.

You want to, right? Of course.

Oh, there's Grant.

Grant.

Oh.

I thought I'd just walk
out to the guest house

if you two were still busy
with the wedding plans.

And it looks like you're still busy, so...

So come in. Come on.

I want you to be a groomsman.

And then you and Grace can
walk down the aisle together.

Uh, I don't really know
Ben that well, do I?

Yeah, isn't Ben supposed to
choose who the groomsmen are?

Yeah. I think the groomsmen are
literally the groom's men.

His friends.

I'm not sure Ben considers
me a friend, does he?

He has the one friend, Henry.

Ooh, I gotta remember to call Henry.
And Alice.

Okay, so, then, it'll be you and Grace,

Henry and Alice, Jack and Madison...

Ooh, Jack and Madison broke up.

Oh, yeah. I know.

Well, then, maybe I can put him with Lauren

and Tom with Madison,

and then Ashley and Griffin.

Wouldn't it be Griffin and Peter?

Well, then, who do I put Ashley with?

Not with Grant.

Okay, well,

maybe Peter can bring someone,

and then they could just
switch off for the wedding.

I'll be right back. I have to pee again.

No problem.

Okay, I cannot hang out here
all night listening to this.

I can't. I'm too young,
and life is too short.

You can't leave me. Please don't leave me.

Also, my mom and Jeff went
out of town for the night.

She didn't wanna hear about the
wedding plans either, huh?

Did you not hear what I just said?

There's no one here,

except for Tom and Jack, but
they're in the guest house.

What does that mean? That you and I can...

We can think about it.

I can't not think about it at this point.

I can't believe I didn't say Ricky and Amy.

Of course we want Ricky and Amy
to be part of the wedding.

Really?

Really. I mean,

we wouldn't even be together
if it weren't for them.

Well, if you know what I mean.
We know what you mean.

Oh, and then John could be the ring bearer.

You think he could do it?

How's six weeks from today?

For?

"For?"

Ben, for the wedding.

I mean, it's as much time
as we can give ourselves,

'cause after that, we have midterms,

and then you have SATs.

So what do you think?

Ben!

Okay.

Yay.

Hey, Lauren, it's Jack.

What do you want?

And don't think that I'm

not gonna tell Madison that you called me

as soon as I get off this call.

I don't want anything.

But Adrian wants you and
Madison to be in her wedding.

How do you know?

She told Grace, and Grace told me and Tom.

She's pairing you and me up
and Madison and Tom together.

And since Madison broke up with me,

I thought it'd be a little

awkward if I was in the wedding with her,

even if we're not walking in together.

So I was thinking maybe I should call her.

Do you think I should call her?

What?

Why would Madison and I be
in Adrian and Ben's wedding?

Why not? She's asking everyone.

"Everyone." Not everyone.

I'm sure she's not asking Amy and Ricky.

Yeah, she is. And John.

What? I have to go.

I'm bored out of my mind.
I've got to get a new boyfriend.

Jack just called me.

What? You can't go out with Jack,

especially since I can't
go out with Stanley.

I'm happy you can't go out with Stanley.

I never liked Stanley.

Jack called to tell me

that Adrian is inviting you
and me to be in her wedding,

and she wants you to walk
down the aisle with Tom,

and she wants me to walk
down the aisle with Jack.

Okay, I'm fine with Tom,

but you cannot walk down
the aisle with Jack.

Whatever. That's not the
craziest part of the ceremony.

He said Adrian is inviting

Amy and Ricky to be in the wedding.

I think I'm gonna pass out.

I know.

Jack is calling me.

Take it. No.

Talk to him.

Not unless you're gonna talk to Jesse.

Jesse's not calling me.

Jack is calling you.

Take the call.

Don't bother me.
I'm in a state of emergency.

Adrian has lost her mind over this wedding.

State of emergency.

Dave would like to say good-bye to you.

Bye. Have a nice time.

Uh, Lauren, I'm leaving permanently.

Oh? Yeah. Your mom and I are splitting up.

What?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Oh, I'm sure.

She's, uh, been wanting all of us

to sit down and have
dinner and talk, but...

Honestly, I'm a surgeon.

I'm not much of a talker.

I don't wanna talk about my
problems with the two of you.

I don't wanna go to counseling.

I myself am not a big fan of psychotherapy.

No... No offense to your father.

None taken.

Yeah, I believe in surgically
removing the problem,

clean and simple, and in
this case, I'm the problem,

so I'm leaving.

Well, wait. I mean...

I don't know what to say.

I guess I've just been so involved
with my problems with Jesse,

I didn't even realize you and Mom were...

Unhappy.

Lauren, I just want you to know

that our unhappiness has nothing to do

with the fact that I'm white.

Okay. But it seems kind of sudden.

No, no. It's been about six months

since your mother first came

and talked to me and
said she wanted me out.

So I wanna say good-bye, and, um,

we can stay in touch, and maybe we can

hang out once in a while.

Oh, and, uh, before I leave,
I wanna give you kids this.

Um, I'm not your real father,

but, uh, that's real money,

and, uh, I want you to have it.

I don't have children of my own,
but I've got a lot of that.

You think this is real?

I think it's a real check,

but it's never gonna be real money.

Dad is not gonna let us take this.

Unless you ask him.

I'm not gonna ask him. You ask him.

You're his favorite.

Oh, I have to text Amy.

You know, now that I think about it,

Dave might have done
this just to annoy Dad.

At least that's what you should tell him,

and then maybe we can keep this.

I'm not talking to Dad.

Seriously, Amy.

It says here that only
40% of teen marriages

last more than five years.

Ashley, stop that.
Amy, you listening to me?

Hmm? Amy, I looked this up,

because I wanna be involved in
the things that you care about.

Are you even listening to me?

Oh, my God, Mom. I have to go.

What? What happened?

Bye.

Amy, what's going on?

Um, Lauren's parents split up.

And?

And they split up. She's devastated.

You're talking about Lauren's mother

and her stepfather, right?

Yeah, they've been married for years.

I didn't even know that Lauren
was close to her stepfather.

Mom, it's still a big change in her life.

I'm just gonna drive home,
and I'll check on her,

and I'll come back tomorrow.

And John will be where?

No.

Amy, this is our weekend together.

We're not doing anything.

Yes, we are. We're...

We're...spending time together.

Well, couldn't you spend
time alone with Ashley?

She needs you more than I do.

That's not the point.

I can be back by noon tomorrow.

But you just got here at noon today.

You can't drive there and drive back here.

And anyway, I don't want you

driving by yourself on
the freeway at night.

It's a two-hour drive.
All right. All right.

I'll go with her. No.
You two are not going anywhere.

You are staying right here,
and we are going to have fun

because it's our weekend together.

And I know what this is about,

Amy. This is not about Lauren, is it?

Adrian is inviting me and
Ricky to be in their wedding.

She wants us in their wedding.
It should be our wedding.

And so what?
So you're just gonna rush back there

and try to get Ricky to marry you
before Adrian can marry Ben?

And how are you gonna do that?
By having sex with him?

You sent your father over there
tonight to check up on him.

He told me. Yeah, we still
talk... your father and me.

And I've got news for you.
If you can't trust Ricky,

you shouldn't marry Ricky, even
if Adrian is marrying Ben.

Okay. Now we're having fun.

All right. I should, uh... I
should probably get home.

Mmm, I don't think so.

I don't think you need to get home.

I think you need to get upstairs

to my bedroom with me.

And do what?

You know what.

Oh.

Oh, um,

no.

Oh, oh, yes.

Dr. Attavi said it would be
fine if we wanna do that.

Adrian, I don't think we
should do that until...

The wedding night?

I'm marrying you, and, well,

sex is a healthy part of marriage.

We're not married yet.

But we're gonna get married, so...

So I'm not prepared to
have sex with you tonight.

I'm... I'm not... I'm not
emotionally prepared.

Is it the baby?

Is it my big baby belly?

'Cause I think I look
really pretty like this.

I mean, I feel really pretty like this,

and I feel like having sex like this.

I'm just... I'm happy,

and I wanna share my
happiness with you, okay?

I wanna share myself with
you tonight, right now.

Adrian, we can't. We just can't.

Um, look, I can't anyway.
But maybe sometime in the future?

"Maybe"?

No, definitely.
No, definitely sometime in the future.

Just not tonight, okay? I gotta go home.

Where did you hear that?

Where do I hear everything?

Grace told Jack, and then
this time, Jack told Lauren,

and then Lauren told Madison,
and Madison told me.

I'm not gonna be in that wedding,
and John is not going to be

a ring bearer in anyone's wedding but ours.

I don't really care.

I care.

Amy, would you just calm
down about this wedding?

Calm down. I can't, all right?

I cannot calm down.
I'm really, really upset

that they would get married before us.

We're too young to get married. All of us.

We're too young. No, we're not.
We're not too young.

I'm just getting used
to the idea of dating.

I'm not gonna get used

to the idea of getting
married anytime soon.

She can carve a small handgun
out of a bar of soap.

I could fall in love with this woman.

Yeah. But it wouldn't do you any good.

I'll be back.

Aren't we supposed to be watching him?

Yeah. I was never really good at that.

Hey, what'd he mean by that...
wouldn't do me any good?

I mean, I'm not trying to
hit on you or anything.

But you're not so serious about

this guy that you'd be
getting married, are you?

I mean, you just got out.

You gotta enjoy your freedom a
little bit, don't you think?

Yeah, I guess.

I think you're a really interesting woman.

I don't think I've ever met
anyone who's been to prison.

Oh, you probably have.

Maybe.

So, do you wanna take me home?

Home?

Meaning...

Margaret's house. I've got a curfew.

Oh. As long as I don't
have to go inside, sure.

But if we leave, who's gonna watch Ricky?

Oh, that dog's off the leash, I'm afraid.

Jeez, I forgot about Moose.

We have a dog.

Oh, lucky.

I want one. I've always wanted a dog.

I'll let you meet Moose sometime.
You'll change your mind.

Lauren? Oh, no.

Jason called. He told me what happened.

That big mouth.

Did he just call you out of the blue?

Not exactly. Your mother called him

to tell him she might be a
little late getting home.

From where? Where was she?

My point is, Jason did the right thing

by telling your mother and
then me about what happened.

He thought you might
need someone to talk to.

Oh, did he now?

And where did you say Mom was?

Was she with you?

With me? Was she with me?

Was she?

We had a cup of coffee.

She needed to talk.
Do you need someone to talk to?

No, I'm good. Talk about what?

Well, Lauren,

this is a pretty big change in your life

and in Jason's life...

Dave moving out of the house.

And it's a big change for your mother.

Yeah, and apparently for you, too.

The last time I saw you with a
beard, you were living here.

Mom likes beards.

And you just had coffee with Mom?

Oh, don't sit down, please. Don't sit down.

Which one of your friends are you texting?

Who's more important than your own father?

Did Jason tell you

that Dave left him a big,
fat check before he left?

No.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

I figured he didn't mention that.

He's been sucking up to Dave

ever since he decided to go to med school.

Evidently it paid off, big-time.

So you might want to sit down
on Jason's bed and talk to him.

Yeah. Maybe I do.

Ben, we have to talk.

Now? I've had a long, stressful day.

I was just... I was going to sleep.

You're not going to sleep. We have to talk.

You and Adrian cannot get married.

Go on.

How did you get yourself into this?

How'd I get myself into this?

The same way you got yourself into this.

Yeah, well, I'm not getting married.

And if and when I do, I'm
not having a big wedding.

I'm sure that...

every man who's ever gotten
married has said just that.

So you might as well give
in to it, my friend.

Might as well. No, no.
Not "I might as well."

I'm not gonna get married
until I'm really sure

I wanna be married for the rest of my life.

And I'm in no hurry to decide that,

and you don't have to be
in a big hurry either.

I don't know why you don't get married.

I mean, you can't cheat on Amy now.

You might want to, but you can't.

Amy Juergens is the last girl on earth

you're gonna have sex with,
so why don't you marry her?

Besides, she's already in love
with you, and she had your baby.

Are you gonna tell the
woman who had your baby

that you're not in love

with her and you're never gonna marry her?

No, you're not, so you're stuck.

Just like me, you're stuck.

I'm not stuck, and neither are you.

You don't have to do this.
You don't have to get married,

and you certainly don't have
to get married right away.

You could at least think
about it for a while.

I don't like to think
about things too much.

I'm more decisive than you are.

And I actually wanna get married.
To Adrian?

Yes, to Adrian, to the mother of my baby.

And if she weren't the mother of your baby?

Then I would not be getting married.

But she is the mother of my
baby, and I am getting married.

Just a little sooner than I wanted

and in a much bigger
ceremony than I wanted.

Just wait. Just get her to wait.

Wait at least until after the baby comes.

Things are gonna change
after the baby comes.

She doesn't wanna wait until
after the baby comes.

She wants to be married

when we go to the hospital
to have the baby.

And I understand that.
Amy wanted that, too, you know?

I mean, that's why Amy and I
ended up getting married,

because she wanted to be
married when the baby came.

Well, you can't just marry every girl

who wants to get married
before the baby comes.

No, not every girl.

Just one girl.

I asked Adrian to marry
me, and she said yes,

and we're getting married, and
when and where are her decisions.

Why are you letting her make
all the decisions, huh?

Adrian shouldn't be
making all the decisions.

You should be making the
decisions with her.

Even making some of the
decisions all by yourself.

Is that a totally foreign concept to you?

It's your life, too, Ben.

"Too," Yes. It's my life, too.

It's also Adrian's life
and the baby's life.

And why are you so upset
about our lives anyway?

Because, obviously, your
lives are affecting my life

and Amy's life and now John's life.

Adrian wants our son to be
ring bearer at this circus,

and she wants Amy to be a bridesmaid.

She wants me to be whatever
the guys are in the wedding.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Okay, well,

then I guess that's what's gonna happen.

And what if Amy doesn't want
John to be ring bearer?

Are you guys actually arguing

about who's gonna be the
ring bearer at the wedding?

Yeah.

And I heard you were getting
married before the baby comes,

and I heard it from Ruben.

I don't like hearing things from Ruben.

I like hearing things from my own son.

You have anything else?

Yeah.

I have something else.

I know Adrian,

and I know her really well.

I know she's a really nice
girl, and she's funny,

and she's smart, she's sexy.

She's gonna make a great mom.

She loves kids, and she'll love this kid.

But she has some picture in her head

of a mom and a dad and
a baby living together

and being one big happy family.

And having a baby in high school
is not a big, happy thing.

It's just not.

And getting married is not gonna
make it a big, happy thing,

even if you two really love each other.

Even if.

So I'm speaking to you as your friend,

and I'm telling you what
you don't want to hear.

Wait to get married.

Tell Adrian you wanna wait to get married.

Because I know you wanna
wait to get married.

So just do that.

Take control, would you? Good night.

I don't know what he wants me to do.

I mean, I already asked her to marry me,

and we're getting married,

and we are getting married in six weeks.

Oy vey. Six weeks?

Yeah, oy vey.

But, I mean, that's what she wants.

Are you sure you wanna
go through with this?

Yeah, I'm sure I wanna go through with it.

I wanna get married anyway. But I just...

I don't see why we have to make
such a big deal out of it.

It's a big deal.

It's one of the biggest deals.

I know. I just don't know why

we have to have such a huge wedding.

It seems ridiculous being our age

and being pregnant and
having a huge wedding.

On the other hand, I'm not going
to not have a huge wedding

just because it's causing
Ricky and Amy problems.

That's equally ridiculous.

Then how about if you're not
gonna have a big wedding

because Adrian's parents
and Betty and me...

we don't wanna throw you

a big wedding and a big wedding reception?

We wanna buy you a condo instead.

A... A condo? For what?

For you to live in.

You and Adrian and the baby. What else?

Live on... on our own?

Yeah.

All on your own. You're getting married.

You're starting a family.
You should be on your own.

Of course, this isn't exactly all

on your own since we're
buying you the condo, but...

But we're not ready to live on our own.

We need help.

We need someone to clean up

and to watch after the baby and to cook

and do everything that we have
done for us here, you know?

Or that you and Betty
have done for you here.

Well, you and Adrian are not me and Betty.

What?

You don't wanna live with us,

and I'm sure you don't want to
live with Adrian's parents either.

No. You're wrong. I do wanna live with you.

You're gonna want to spend
time together alone...

you and Adrian and the baby.

We don't need a separate
place for that. Uh...

Yeah. Yeah, you do. Sure you do.

It'll be fun.
It'll be challenging, but it'll be fun.

You're gonna be a dad and a husband.

I can't just be a son anymore?

Of course you'll always be my son,

but, Ben, let's face it.

Now you're my grown-up son.

And we'll be happy to
have you and your wife

and our granddaughter here
anytime you wanna come over.

Okay, Dad. I... I've had a
long and surprising week.

I really can't take being
kicked out of my own home.

I guess you can look at it like that,

or you can look at it as
if you and your family

are gonna be lucky enough
to get a place of your own.

We don't want a place of our own.

But you need a place of your own.

So all you have to do is tell Adrian

that you're gonna get a place to live

instead of a big wedding, that's all.

Can't her parents tell her?

I mean, you're telling me now.

Because we want you to tell her.

And, hey, she might be
really happy about it.

Not likely.

Ben, Ben, Ben.
I know you don't wanna grow up,

but being an adult can be fun.

There's a lot of joy that
comes with being responsible.

No, there isn't.

It's so good to see you.

Yeah, it's, uh...
it's good to see you, too.

What? Nothing.

I'm... I'm sorry about Stanley, but
we really didn't do anything.

I promise.

I'll get over it.
I guess I owe the guy a "Thank you"

'cause you're dad's okay with
me coming over here again.

Well, my dad's okay with your coming over

as long as we're not doing
what we were doing.

It's funny you should mention that.

I don't really wanna do
what we were going anymore.

Really? Me neither.

I mean, it was really getting
to be a lot of work,

and I really wasn't getting
that much out of it.

I mean, it was okay, but, you know,

I got kind of tired of it.

Well, I wasn't tired of it.

It's just that I wouldn't
mind trying something else.

Something else like what?

Don't ask for anything stupid.

Would it be stupid if the two of us

actually had sex?

Well, no, but I want to get
my dad's permission first.

Not really.
I just don't want to do it here.

All right. I'll see what I can do.

Okay. Well, then I will see what I can do.

You know, in terms of birth control,

'cause I want to be on
the pill when we do it.

And I want it to be really
romantic, like in a hotel room.

Like a really nice hotel room.

You know, we could have, like,
candles and flowers and music.

I guess I'm gonna have to
save up for this then.

Yeah. Well, I'm in no
particular rush, so...

Well, I kind of am.
It's been a long summer.

Lauren?

Oh. Yeah.

Can't you just wait till I go home?

Are you kidding?

Okay.

All right. All right.

I'll sleep in the same bed with
you and not have sex with you.

I thought you wanted me to sleep
over so we could have sex.

You wanted to have sex.

You've been wanting to have sex for months.
What happened?

The wedding.

I just... I was looking at Adrian's plans,

and I thought, "That's what I want."

I want a wedding.

I'll tell you what, if we're still together

when I wanna get married,
then we'll have a wedding.

How's that? How's this?

I don't wanna have sex with any guy

unless there's a chance
we're gonna get married.

There's a chance.

How much of a chance?

How much of a chance do you need?

That's not funny.

Yeah, I know, but if I don't keep

a sense of humor about
this, I might go insane.

Do we really need to make

this big of a deal out
of having sex, Grace?

You're on the pill.

I have condoms.

We've talked about it and talked about it

and talked about it.

And I really care about you.

Yeah. I do, too.

Really?

Just not tonight.

Why not?

I'm just really not in the mood.

All right. I get that.

You do?

You're not upset?

No, I'm not upset.

I'm not that upset anyway.

All right.

I guess you can sleep up here with me.

Hello?

Ricky?

Coast is clear.

I'm gonna call Mom.

Guilt is a terrible thing to waste.

I'll see if I can get
John interested in a nap.

Come on, John.

Oh!

Come on.

Mom?

Oh, Amy, I was gonna call you,

but I didn't want you to talk
on your phone in the car.

Are you still in the car?

No. No, I'm not in the car.

I'm home. I'm all the way home.

I just felt terrible about the way I acted.

I miss you. I really do,

but I just don't like being away
from Ricky on the weekends.

Amy, you either trust him or you don't.

I trust him. I do.

I just can't expect him
to just not have sex.

Yeah, you can expect something from him.

It'll be good for him.

Maybe. Or maybe expecting
something from him

would just make him feel pressured.

Amy, tell me the truth.

Have you two still not had sex?

No, we haven't.

Well, I think that that's good, Amy.

I think that you should wait
until you can trust him

not to have sex with someone else.

And maybe that'll happen

when he's older and more mature,
or maybe it'll never happen.

I think the only way that

he's gonna stop having sex with other girls

is if I have sex with him.

No, you don't. You don't think that.

You're just using that as
an excuse to marry him.

And I thought he wasn't having
sex with other girls anyway.

He's not.
But I'm sure he can't wait forever.

Well, he can wait for a while.

And what if you sleep with Ricky,

and he still has sex with other girls?

You know that's possible, right?
It's entirely possible.

It's possible.
But I don't think he would do that if...

If you were married.

Must be genetic.

That's the same thing I
thought about your father.

Hey.

So, did you talk to Ben last night?

I went out with Ben last night.

Yeah, but after that. After he went home.

Did you talk to him after that?
No. I scared him away.

Oh. With all the wedding plans, huh?

No.

No, not the wedding plans.

He's fine with the wedding plans.

It was something else entirely.
You don't wanna know.

Hey, son.

Dad.

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Oh.

I was, uh, wondering if we could talk.

Well, if that's all you wanna do...

Ow, ow, ow. Ow, ow, ow.

Ow, ow. You are sharp.

You are two people.

Ooh.

Uh, so, what do you wanna talk about?

I wanna talk about not
having such a big wedding.

But it's not such a big wedding.

I want a small wedding.

We can't have a small wedding.

I already told all our friends
they can be in the wedding.

I called Henry and Alice this morning.
They're really excited.

I think it would be better

if instead we asked my dad

to buy us a condo.

A condo for just the three of us?

Our own condo? Our own home?
Are you kidding me?

No. But if we do that, we

really shouldn't ask our
parents for anything else.

So we should just have a small
family gathering at my house,

and then you and I can
move into our own place.

I don't care if we elope. Oh, my God!

No, I can't believe it. Ben Boykewich! Ohh!

Oh, you are the best!

You are the best husband and
father two girls could ever have.

Wait. I could ever have.
You know what I mean.

Our own place? Mm-hmm.

Ooh, we should get something

that goes with the china
that we already picked out.

You know, with the same

tile colors and everything. You know what?

I don't really care about stainless
steel appliances that much.

I like white. White is very clean.

Oh, I would love it

if we could have a black and white kitchen.

Yeah, black and white tiles throughout.

Although I really usually
like a lot of color.

But a higher contrast is easier

for the baby to differentiate.

But you know what?
We can always put in colorful accents

and accessories.

It's me.

Don't say anything. W...

I wanna talk to you.

I wanna talk to you about having sex.

W... Shh. No.

Just let me say this.

I love you, and I know you love me,

and I'm ready to have sex with you.

So I'm going to go into the bedroom,

and I'm going to take this off,

and I'm going to be wearing
some French lingerie

that I bought in New York,

and the two of us are going to get into bed

and do what we've been wanting to do

for a long, long time.

No. Shh.

I'm gonna be waiting for you

right in...

there.

I always thought it was him.

I thought he was the one
who came after you.

I'm sorry, Ricky.

You said, "Don't say anything."

I know. Now I feel like a complete idiot.

But...

we should still have sex.

Fine. We'll have sex in here.

Sit down. Let's talk, Amy.

I wanna have sex with you.

Maybe this isn't the right time.

You're right.

Maybe this isn't the right time.

Maybe the right time...

Whoa, whoa. I don't think it's
the right time for that either.

Oh, no.

Uh...

Ricky,

will you marry me?
