The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 3, Episode 19 - Deeper and Deeper - full transcript

If anyone should
be getting married,

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

This is my mother.
This is Nora.

Nora, George.
George, Nora.

How's six weeks from today?

For?

Ben, for the wedding.

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.

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



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

Adrian wants our son
to be ringbearer at this circus,

and she wants Amy
to be a bridesmaid.

My dad's okay
with your coming over

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

Would it be stupid
if the two of us
actually had sex?

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

I don't wanna have sex
with any guy

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

I think it would be better

if we asked my dad

to buy us a condo.

A condo?

Ricky,



will you marry me?

You wanna bring John
over tonight, or do you
want me to pick him up?

I'm fine picking him up,
but you're welcome
to come over, too.

Whatever you want.

No. Whatever you want.
I'm fine with whatever you want.

All right. Then maybe
you could drop him off,
if you don't mind.

I don't mind.
But it's not a date.

I think I'll just spend
some time with John tonight.

All right.
See you later.

But not for a date.

Just, uh, tell her you're
not gonna marry her. Yeah.

You're not gonna marry her.
I said, "We'll see."

I'll think about it,
but I'm not getting married
while I'm in high school.

What about in June?
You'll be graduating in June.

No, not in June.

July? Oh, August.

[sighs]
Admit it.

You're one step away from being
in the same boat I'm in.

No, I'm not.
Find a condo yet?

No, not yet.

So the one
you looked at last night
didn't work out either?

No. No. These things
take time, you know?

We just started looking,
we're on a limited budget,

so I doubt we'll buy anything
right away.

Yeah, especially if
you're not ready to leave home.

Who's not ready
to leave home at 17, huh?

It's every teenager's dream
to get their own home at 17.

Yeah, and a wife and a baby.

You get your life
over with in your teen years,

and then there's just
nothing else to do

but kick back and watch

every dream you ever had
go straight to hell.

[chuckles]

It's looking that way,
but it'll all be fine.

Yeah. That's what
I keep saying to myself:

"It'll all be fine."

Yeah.

I guess I'd wanna wait
until we both graduated
from high school.

Then again,
he is graduating this year,

and then I only have
a year left of high school.

So whatever.
I'm not really in any hurry.

I heard you asked Ricky
to marry you.

Nice going, girlfriend.

Good luck with that
nontraditional approach.

Well, what was
his answer, exactly?

He said he'd think
about it.

No. He said, "We'll see."
It's a totally different thing.

Well, it's different,
but it's not exactly a "yes."

It's not a "no."
And coming from Ricky,

I think it's a "yes."

I mean, I didn't expect him
to say "yes" right away.

He has to think about things,

and he has to feel in control.

And I'm definitely going
to let him feel in control
of his decision.

I gotta say,
I'm impressed

that you went out
on a limb, Amy,

and just asked
for what you wanted.

I think that's brave.

Either brave
or completely foolish.

Good morning.

Obviously she didn't approve.

Well, uh, how long
do you think

it'll take Ricky to see
that he's gonna marry you?

He needs time.

Oh. Good morning.

Did I know you were
coming by this morning?

I don't know.
Here's my work.
See you next week.

Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.

That's not how this works.

We have to go over
your assignments.

Not even we.

The school has a new teacher
who's overseeing home schooling.

Mr. Malkovich.
Let me go get him for you.

I wish you had told me.

My dad's waiting outside.

I don't really have time.

Yes. I'm sure you're
very busy at home.

Hi, Angel.
Nadine, good morning.

Jeff, what's up, man?

Hey, uh, Ricky,
I need to talk to you.

When you have time.

What's that about?

I don't know.
What does she do?
She's the counselor.

No. I know
she's the counselor.

What does she do?

She counsels students
on school

and what classes to take,
where to go to college.

Stuff like that.
Yeah, well, I'm not
going to college.

Yeah, well, you already
have a job and a family.
That's totally understandable.

I'm glad you think so.

I don't wanna
do it in my room

'cause it's so close
to my mom and Jeff's,

and they have no plans
to go anywhere for months.

Mm-hmm.
There's always
the guest house,

but then I'd have to strike
some sort of deal

with Tom and Jack,

and then
they'd know about it.

I don't know.
It just doesn't feel right,
you know?

To do what we wanna do
in Jack's bed.

Hi, Adrian.
Hi.

Would it be possible
to talk to you alone, Grace?

Yeah, sure.

But anything you wanna say,
you can say in front of Adrian.

She's my best friend.

Bye.

My mom's going out of town
with my dad tonight,

so we have my house
all to ourselves.

We don't have to do anything.

But if you wanna do something,

we do have my house
all to ourselves.

And it's okay with my parents
if you comover.

It's even okay
if you spend the night.

Your house?

Your bed?

I don't really know
if I feel comfortable with that.

I've slept over at your house,
in your bed.

Yeah...

But I don't know.

Good morning.

Hey, look,
I'm sorry about last night.

I guess I'm being just
a little picky about the condo.

I guess you are.

But that's okay.
We have more to look at tonight.

Really?
Um, are you up for it?

I mean, we've looked at places
every night this week.

Maybe you should get some rest.

Are you kidding?
Next to the baby,

this is the most exciting thing
that's ever happened
to me in my life.

Bye, Benny.

Benny?

Benny?

I'm really okay
with that.

Sure you are.

I am.

I've accepted my fate.

Except for
the "moving out
of your house" part.

Yeah, maybe not that.

♪ Is such an easy
thing to do ♪

Ashley.

Richard Malkovich.
Nice to meet you.

Let's see
how you're doing.

Yeah. Or I could just
leave that stuff with you.

Ah. Antisocial.

My favorite.

You have any friends?

Yeah, I have friends.
Who?

Well, that's kind of
personal information, isn't it?

I mean, if I tell you,
you might post it
on the Internet.

Never mind.
I already know.

I talked to your father.

He was right outside
in the car.

Katelyn told me,
so I went out
and introduced myself.

Did you, uh,

actually read Ulysses,

or did you just read
the study guide?

Did you actually graduate
from college in education,

or did you just read
the study guide?

You missed a few things.

Maybe you missed a few things.

Probably.
Do you speed read?

No.

I learned to speed read
when I was your age.

Loved it.
Very useful skill to have.

Well, looks okay.

But I'll take the weekend

to, uh, delve into this
a little more deeply,

and look over your other work.

Do that, because I spent
a lot of time doing that work.

Tell me a little
about yourself.

I'd like to get you connected
with some of the other kids
doing home schooling.

Well, about myself,

I don't care to be connected
with any of the other kids

doing home schooling.

I'm connecting you.
You need to be connected.

You can't just hide over
at your house

without any social interaction

with any other student
on the planet.

Why not?

Because that's what
your dad said.

And what he said goes.
He also said that.

And he said for me
to tell you that,

which I guess means
that he couldn't tell you.

Guess he's
a little overwhelmed.

Well, that's not my problem.

[horn honks]

I can't take it.

I don't have another adult
to talk to.

Donovan calls from the store--
it's the highlight of my day.

I need another adult
to talk to, Anne.

Been there, done that.

Yeah, but at least you had
someone to talk to

when I came home at night.

Yeah, okay.
I wasn't that adult.

I gotta make some friends.

You have friends.

Why don't you call Ruben,
do something with him?

'Cause he's a big,
important prosecutor,

and I'm just a house man.

That's ridiculous.

No, it's not.

Do you have friends?
Who do you talk to?

Mostly Eugene.

Who's that?
Mimsy's husband.

Oh.

I really enjoy
talking to him.

He is so smart.
I've learned so much

about running the business
from talking to him.

I've run a business.
You can talk to me.

Yeah, but I have
adults to talk to.

So where's our son
this morning?

He's at daycare.
Why? You're home.

I'm working.
Or I'm trying to work.
I have clients coming over.

I have to go.
[beeps]

[beeps]

[engine starts]

I do not want a friend.

Well, you're gonna
get a friend.

So am I.

Oh. Ricky. Hi.

I just went to your office,
but some foreign guy
was in there.

"Foreign"?
Well, a guy who wasn't you.

Malkovich. He's overseeing
home schooling students.

We can kick him out.
Come on.

He can't still be talking
to Ashley.

What do you want?
Why can't you just tell me
what it is right here?

It's nothing bad.
I just wanna make sure

you get your
college applications in.

I saw that you hadn't
applied anywhere.

I know that
I'm not gonna apply anywhere.

But you're graduating,

and you have an extremely high
grade point average,

and your SATs were outstanding.

If you aren't going to college,
why did you take the SATs?

Because there were girls there.
Smart girls.

I like smart girls.
And these weren't just
girls from this school.

They were from all over.
And that was before Amy
and I started dating.

Whatever your purpose was,
it doesn't matter.

Well, it matters.

But you're bright,

and you aced your test,

and you could
get into college.

Maybe even get
financial assistance
or a scholarship, so--

So I'm not going.

I'm gonna stay
at the butcher ship
and see where I get with that.

Don't you think
studying business could
get you somewhere with that?

No.

Well, I would still
encourage you

to apply
to a couple of schools

just in case
you change your mind

I've never thought
about going to college,

so I'm not
gonna change my mind.

I have nothing
to change my mind about.

Amy wants to go to college.

I'm gonna work
and help her with John.

She can be the one
who goes to college.

Well, sounds very couple-ish.

So you did decide
to get married.

No, I did not decide
to get married.

I said, "We'll see."

Well, look who's standing
out in the hallway
all by himself.

You are so
[exhales forcefully]

going to have a baby.

[chuckles]
Yep.

And soon I will be so married
and living with Ben.

Yeah. Well, uh...

You don't wanna get married.

I don't know, Adrian.

I just think I'm too young.

You know, I'm too young,
Amy's too young,

Ben's too young,
you're too young.

We're all too young
to be getting married
and having babies.

Oh, yeah. But, hey,
that's what is.

We're having babies.

Or we had babies, and...

Well, it's nice if there's both
a mommy and a daddy
to raise a baby, so--

So the mommy and daddy
don't have to be married.

I mean, I'm doing everything
I can for John,
and I'm not married to Amy.

I wouldn't do
anything more for him
if I were married to Amy.

I care about her.
I really care about her
and about John,

but...I don't get marriage.

Making a lifetime commitment
at our age

just seems kind of ridiculous.

Yeah, I guess.

But Ben and I
are getting married anyway.

And so I guess you and Amy
are just gonna be friends?

Amy and I
are not just friends.

Oh. Well, that's not
what I heard.

I heard she offered
to have sex with you,

and you didn't wanna
have sex with her.

So maybe you are
just friends.

[door opens]

Ashley, this is Toby,
your new study buddy.

Toby, this is Ashley,
your new study buddy.

Good-bye, and good luck.

Is he always like that?

So-- what's the word-- abrupt?

I think he's going
with the

"let's throw two feral cats
in a room together

and see if they don't
kill each other" concept.

You can leave if you want.

No. I've already been through
a number of buddies.

[British accent]
I think I'll take a seat,
if you don't mind.

Suit yourself.

Do you have a British accent?

I was just gonna
ask you the same thing.

No.
No.

Not exactly.
Not exactly.

[both chuckle]

I'm just affecting an accent
to differentiate myself

from the common people.
As am I.

So, are you antisocial,

druggy, seriously ill,

genius, agoraphobic?

How'd you get
into home schooling?

I had a baby.

Liar.

I like that.

Your sister's the one
who had the baby.

Your dad gave me
a little family history
before he dumped me.

Ask me more questions,
I'll tell you more lies.

Ever had sex with a guy?

No.

Is that a lie?
No.

Any girl-on-girl action?
No!

Did I touch a nerve?
No.

Do you wanna
ask me anything?

Ever had sex with a guy?
No.

Any boy-on-girl action?
No.

Oh, so you're also a liar.

Yeah.

All right. Well, uh,

do you wanna go
for a ride in my car?

I have a very nice car.

"Nice car" was a lie.

[door opens]

Field trip.

You see that?

It worked.

Now I need a study buddy.

And you know why?
Because you, my friend,

are unable to draw
any attention to yourself
whenever we go for a walk.

Oh!
Oh, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.

Are you okay?
I heard Ricky turned you down.

Oh, no, he didn't.
He said, "We'll see."

Oh, I meant sex.

I wasn't talking
about the proposal.

Or are you two going to see
about that, too-- the sex?

Whether or not
Ricky and I have sex
is none of your business.

And whether or not
Ricky and I get married
is none of your business.

Maybe not.

But he told me
he doesn't wanna get married
when he's in high school.

Yeah, so?

Then I guess
you're not getting married.

Which brings me back to
it's none of your business.

I seem to recall someone
calling me from New York,

early on in my pregnancy,
offering to be my friend.

So are we friends?
Of course.

Then as your friend,
I'm gonna give you some
friendly advice about Ricky.

'Cause you know him
so much better than I do.

Yeah. At least I've known him
more often than you have.

I think you've known him
more often than anyone has.

Exactly.
I think you've known

a lot of people
more often than anyone has.

Mm-hmm. Including Ben.

Look, but none of that
has anything to do
with any of this.

If you want what I have,
then do what I'm gonna
tell you to do.

Move in with Ricky.

Look, it's not about
a piece of paper

that says you own Ricky
or a house.

It's about spending time
with each other

and raising your son together.

Ricky's not gonna have a wedding
or buy real estate.

But I know he loves you
and he wants to be with you.

So move in with Ricky.

And don't ask him.
Just do it.

Stay over one night,
and then never go home.

[door opens]

Hey, George.
My boyfriend's here.

Your what?

I thought...

Bunny, right?

We met at Leo's wedding.
George Juergens.

Yeah. George. How are you?
What can we do for you?

Thought I'd swing by
and see if I could take

your newest employee
out for coffee.

He thinks I'm hot.
Yeah, I do.

Sorry, kids.
We don't have coffee breaks.

Yeah. We only get
bathroom breaks.

Yeah, probably too soon
in our relationship for that.

I would've called,
but I don't have
your cell number.

Uh, you mean
my cell phone number

or the number of my cell,

which was 323,
upper level, upper bunk.

Watch it.
That stuff turns me on.

Uh, why don't I
let you two chat?

So, you wanna see me
use the meat cleaver?

Ooh, baby.

So, what time you get off work?

Uh, when Ricky
and Ben get here.

Stick around till 3:30,

I'll wash
the blood off my hands,
and we'll be on our way.

Sure. And, um, maybe
instead of coffee, we could--

I don't know--
have dinner or something?

Uh...

if she wants
to have dinner with you.

Well, I wanna have dinner
with him.

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Good.
I'll just leave a note.

All right.
Whatever you want.

Oh.

Hey, you two.

What's going on?

Oh. I thought
you weren't home.

Oh. You disappointed,
'cause you thought

it would be quiet
and you could get
your homework done?

Not exactly.

[Kathleen]
Jeff and I were just
taking a nap.

I'm just gonna go
pack a few things,

'cause I'm gonna
spend the night at Grant's.

Oh, boy.

Anyone want a sandwich?

She's spending the night
at your house?

Grace is spending
the night at your house?

Who said Grace is spending
the night at your house?

I think Grace did.

Amy and Ricky
are moving in together,

and Adrian and Ben
are looking at condos right now,

because they're getting married
because they're having a baby.

So in comparison,
I think spending the night

at Grant's house
is nothing to be upset about.

Yeah, if those were
your siblings
and not just your friends,

that might count
for something, Grace.

Are Grant's parents
gonna be home?

No, they're not.

Um, Mom, is your shirt on
inside out?

Fine.

I know the two of you
have spent the night here

without having sex,

so maybe you won't
have sex there.

And by the way,
I'm married.

All right?

Which should not
encourage you to get married.

Don't get married
just to have sex with someone,

and don't have sex with someone
just to get them to marry you.

Okay.

And if you do have sex
in high school,

just know that it's not likely
this is who

you'll be having sex with
for the rest of your life.

Okay.

[sighs]

Wait a second. Are...

You're not afraid

that if I have sex,
you're gonna die, too, are you?

No, honey, I'm not.

I-- I'm just afraid
that you're not ready

and that you'll regret it.

And once you do it,
you can't take it back.

I know that.

And I know that I'm ready.

Which is not to say
that Grant and I

are definitely gonna
have sex tonight.

But we're thinking about it.

But we've been thinking
about it. You know.

Yeah, I know that.

And thank you for talking
to me about it.

I mean, I'm really happy
the way we've been talking--

you and me and Grant.

So,

I guess it really is
your decision.

And if you do decide
to do something,
I want you to be careful.

I mean,
I know you're on birth control,
but please use condoms.

Okay? Promise?

I promise.

Okay.

Bye.

What the heck?
Let's just do it already.

I can't. I have a game
in, like, two hours.

Yeah. And?

It's just not a good time.
I don't get it.

I thought you wanted,
like, a hotel and romance

and flowers
and all that stuff.

Well, yeah, I did.
But...I don't.

I wanna be spontaneous.

I can't. I can't.
Yeah, you can.

I don't have a condom.
I have condoms.

But you're not on the pill.
Well, no,
but I have condoms.

Just be careful.
I'd rather you be on the pill.

Okay.
[chuckles]

Are you, like, actually
turning me down for sex?

I guess I am.

Oh, and this is all because
of some stupid football game?

It's not some stupid
football game.
Every game counts.

That guy from Arizona's
gonna be there tonight.
The scout.

He was at your last game.

Oh, well, then from
some other state.

You know,
you're not a good liar.

If you don't wanna
have sex with me,
just say it.

I don't wanna
have sex with you.
Why?

Because I don't want you
to get any ideas

about us getting married
or buying a place together
or something.

Oh, so it's because
we'd never get married

or get a place together
or something?

I don't know.
I can't know that right now.

But I do know that if we do it,
you're gonna want
some kind of commitment.

Yeah. Well, you know,

I-- I would want some kind
of commitment, but...

I don't know. It, like...

It doesn't have to be
a lifetime commitment.

You know,
maybe you could just...

We could just promise
that, like,

we would only have sex
with each other, you know,
while we're having sex.

I mean, maybe that's a promise
that we could make.

We'll see.
[scoffs]

Who do you think you are?
Ricky?

There's no "we'll see"
in this relationship.

How about
"I'll think about it"?

Ring! Ring, damn it!

[ringing]

[beeps]

Hello. This is Lauren.

[sighs]
There you go, John.

[grunts]

[beeping]

[ringing]

[beeps]
Hey, Amy.

Look, I really appreciate
that you talked to me today.

I don't know.
Maybe you're right.

It would be a pretty bold move
to just force myself
into Ricky's apartment,

but I might give it a try.

Yeah?

Yeah. But, anyway,

since you offered me
your help and advice today,

if you come over here,
I'd like to return the favor.

What, by telling me something
I don't know about Ben?

Yep.

You wanna know how
to get him out of his house,
don't you?

[beeps]

[beeps]

Hey.

Hey, boss.
Another night of house hunting?

[sighs]
I guess.

Where is he?

Ben? Oh,
he went up to Ricky's.

Wanted to get a shower
before he goes out
with the bride.

Ricky's mother around?
No. She leaves
when they come in.

Amy?
Uh-uh.

She's coming by later
to drop off the little guy,

but it's not a date.

What's going on?

Got a call from
the school counselor today.

She wants me to talk to Ricky
about going to college.

He never mentioned college.

I think his secret dream
is to take over the shop here.

Yeah. She thinks so, too.

But, uh, you went
to college, right?

And?

Hi, Mr. Boykewich.

Ricky, how are you?

I'm good. Why?
You heard Amy proposed to me?

Proposed several things.
[chuckles]

Okay. Good night.

I did hear.

I don't know
what she was thinking.

That she'd like
to get married?

Oh, no. You're not here
to tell me to marry her,
are you?

No, no. That's totally
up to you and Amy.

That's not what you said
about Adrian.

Well, you're my son.

Uh, okay.
Well, I guess we're off.

Did you wanna
tell me something?

We'll talk some other time.

All right.
Did I do something?

No, no.
You didn't do anything.

I just haven't talked
to you in a while.

Should I wait
in the car?

Oh, no.
We gotta get going.

Good night, Ricky.

Yeah. Good night.

[Amy]
Um, wait.

Hold-- Hold on a minute.

Toby. I'm the new
study buddy.

Oh. All right.

Well, uh,
my dad's not around,

and I have to go, so--
We figured.

Does my dad know
that you're with Ashley?
He does.

Okay. Well--

It's cool.
We've been pre-approved by
the Board of Education for co--

Mingling?
I wish.

Is that your spawn there?

I was just trying to impress you
with my lack of social skills

so that you might find me
appropriate company
for the dark one.

You might just be perfect.

Yeah. Who can ever tell
who's supposed to be with whom?

Yeah. Right.

Well, have a nice evening.

Okay. Yeah.

Totally.

[door closes]

Follow.
[barks]

Just one more minute.
We're going.

[beeping]

[phone ringing]

I'm sorry.

Hi. Guess where I am.

Not here. And Ashley
and her new study buddy
just got here.

Oh, rats. All right.
I'll head that way, shortly.

I'm going over to Ricky's.
I'll call you lar.

Oh, I didn't guess
where you are.
You wanna tell me?

Out with
your future mother-in-law.

Who?
Nora.

We're getting
a bite to eat at Jeff's.
It's a date.

O-kay.
Don't worry about Ashley.

She'll be fine. The counselor
and the teacher know this kid,
and I talked to his parents.

All right. Well, uh,
enjoy your dinner.

Okay. Bye.

Just the kids
checking on me.

Oh, that's sweet.

So, where were we?

You think Ricky and Amy
will get married?

I don't know.

You want them
to get married?

Sure, if it means
we can hang out more.

[chuckles]
Oh, George.

I love hanging out
with you, too,

but there's something
I've really gotta tell you.

Oh, my God.

That's Adrian's dad,
Ruben.

He's not with his wife.

Ow. Somebody's
gonna get in trouble.

What are you
doing here? Hi.

Nothing. Just grabbing
a bite after work.

What are you doing here?

Business.
We're working on a case.

[Nora]
Ah.

Mmm.

Mmm.

[chuckles]

[together]
I'd like you to meet
my girlfriend.

George, this is Ollie.

Ollie, this is George.
Uh, Ricky's girlfriend's dad.

Oh, George.
I've heard a lot about you.

I was going to tell you.

My God,

I almost slept
with a lesbian.

No, you didn't.

Honey, this is Ruben.
Ruben is the guy--

Who got me out. Ruben!
Yes.

Oh, God, you're cute.
I love you.
[chuckling]

How can I ever
thank you enough?

Well, I just set things
in motion.

Really, I didn't do anything.

Besides, Ollie here
owes me dinner.

She just beat me up in court.

Oh, no. You know what?
I just got my first paycheck.

I'm going to buy
everyone dinner here.

No, Nora.
That's really sweet,
honey, but--

No, but nothing.
I'm gonna do it.

Come on.

Yes, I knew
they were dating.

I didn't know
you two were dating.

We'll all
just have the soup.

Yeah. Soup.
Yeah.

[Nora]
Mmm.

And you don't know
what the utilities are?

No one's actually
lived here yet.

The owners partially
furnished the place,

and in the process
got into an argument,

and split up before
ever taking possession.

Aw, jeez. You should've
told us that first.

This place has bad Karma
written all over it.

I'm sure their Karma
followed them

to their own
separate apartments, and...

Come on, Ben.

Adrian likes it.

Your dad thinks
it's a good investment.

Then we should just buy it?

You're not buying anything.
I am.

What the heck
is wrong with you?

You made a checklist.

This has everything
on your checklist.

Yeah. Two bedrooms,
two bathrooms,

black and white tile,
separate laundry
off the kitchen,

electric stove,
white appliances,

an outdoor space,
hardwood floors,

et cetera, et cetera,

and it is in
your price range.

Is the paint zero VOC?

Yes.

Who the hell are you?

This place is perfect
for the two of you.

Could Ben and I
just hang out in here

for, like,
a half hour or so?

You know, kind of get
a feel for the place.

I don't think
we need to do that.
Do that.

I'll have Mike drop me off,

and then he'll swing back by
and pick up the two of you.

Can you close the door?
It locks automatically.

Which means we could easily
lock ourselves out
and leave the baby inside.

It's the temporary lock
so Realtors can show the condo.

Good night.

I know what you're gonna say--
that you love the place.

But you've loved every place
we've seen,

and I really just think
we have to keep looking.

I do love it.

I really do. I--

I love the kitchen
and the location.

But, mostly, Ben,
I love you.

I love you, too, Adrian.

Is there some reason
why you don't wanna leave home?

I mean, are you afraid
that you and I can't handle

raising a baby on our own?

Because, Ben, we're still
gonna have plenty of help

from our parents
and our friends, and...

Well, I think
we're gonna be fine.

I mean,
it's going to be crazy,

but it's gonna be crazy
in a good way.

You know,
we're very lucky.

I know. I just...

I don't think
that this is the place.

Well, are you going to think
that any place

is the right place
besides your own home?

Okay. Your mom died
at that house.

And you and your mom
and your dad

were happy
in that house, and--

Well, I'm sure
you always pictured yourself

growing up at that house
and never leaving.

But if you think about it,

you were going to leave it.

I mean, you were probably
gonna leave it next year

after you graduated
from high school
and went to college.

But I'd go back.

Yeah, you would.

I'm sure you'll always
go back to that house.

It's like your safety zone

where you can
hang on to things

the way they were
supposed to be.

The way things were
when your mom was there.

I'm sure you have
some really wonderful memories

of the three of you
in that house.

Ben, those memories

are gonna be with you
wherever you go.

Even if the house went away,

the memories
would still be with you.

You can't hold
the memories in your hand.

But those memories
are the real part of life,

not the house.

I always knew that you
were smarter than I am.

Maybe just older and wiser.

Just a year older
and a year wiser,

but I'll catch up to you.

Promise.

[knocks]

[Amy]
We're here.

Hey, buddy.

Thanks for bringing him.

Yeah. I was happy to.

I made you some dinner.

If you don't want it tonight,
you can save it for tomorrow.

It's just pasta and a salad.
What kind of pasta?

Just spaghetti and meat sauce.

So you boys have a great time.
I'll see you Sunday, John.

You made me spaghetti
and meat sauce?

You think you're gonna bribe me
with my favorite meal?

Oh, I forgot it was
your favorite meal.

It was just
the easiest thing to make.

And since my dad wasn't home,
I thought I would make dinner.

Uh-huh. Go on.

As it turns out,
he thinks he's on a date
with your mom.

Yeah. And Ashley and her friend
are doing their own thing.

So there you go.
Spaghetti and meat sauce.

Wait. Ashley has a friend?
New study buddy.

So, I'll be going now.
Did you eat?

No. That's okay.
I saved some of that
for myself at home. I'm fine.

You're not going
to the football game
with Madison and Lauren?

No. I'm just gonna have dinner
and have some time to myself.
It'll be nice.

All right. Well,
you're welcome to come in
and eat, if you want.

I haven't eaten.
No. It's okay.

I think I may have
overstepped the boundaries
when I was here last weekend.

Yeah, maybe.

So I withdraw
my proposal of marriage.

But I'm still open to having sex
when the time is right.

Just come on in.
We'll have some dinner together.

Okay. But after that,

I'm leaving so you can have
your time with John.

So?

So?

So come on.
What do you think?

About the pizza?
Pizza's great.

Okay, I--
I do have one regret.

And what's that?
I regret that we wasted

the whole summer
not having sex.

Oh, good.
So you liked it.

I liked it.

I really liked it.

I just wish
we'd done it sooner.

Nah, I think it's good
we waited the three months.

Four months.

Whatever.

It seemed like an eternity.

But at this point,
we knew each other well enough

that we were both
totally comfortable.

Weren't we?
We were.

Although I was a bit more
than comfortable.

Yeah, you were.

You know, I know we're just
juniors in high school,

and this probably
isn't gonna last forever,

but right now, right--

right in this moment,

I'm really happy.

Me, too.

[chuckles]

I hope this won't
destroy your happiness,

but I just have to say it.

I love you, Grace.

You sure?

Yeah.

Good. I love you, too.

I love this feeling.
I love it.

I love being with you.
I love having a boyfriend.

I love having sex.

Well, let's make
a promise to each other.

If either one of us
doesn't feel this way--

you know,
if we fall out of love--

let's be really nice about it,

because to lose this
would be really painful.

I don't wanna worry
about that right now.

But I completely agree.

And who knows?

Maybe it will work out.

Maybe we'll be that couple
that meets in high school

and stays together
through college

and gets married
and has children
and grandchildren.

I didn't know
guys thought like that.

I was also thinking
about doing it again.

[chuckles]
Me, too.

I didn't know
girls thought like that.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Madison]
Yeah, so, we're just gonna
wait a little longer.

You know, and Jack's just
gonna have to go without sex.

He can go without sex.
So can I.

So can I.

And in another year,
we'll be looking at colleges

and deciding
where we wanna go

and what we wanna
major in.

As much as I hate him
for breaking up with me,

I think Jesse
did the right thing.

Yeah, I guess.

I-- I kind of felt like
you guys really liked
each other, though.

Yeah.

Hey, Madison.

Hey.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, Jesse.

How are you?

I'm good. You?

Good.

Good night.

Hey. Sorry that
took so long.

No problem.

Let's go eat.
I'm starving.
Okay.

[door opens]

That guy better not be here
at this time of night.

What time of night?
Bedtime at night.

He's not.

Was that a...

It's late.
You're seeing things.

It's not that late.
What'd you do tonight?

I had a date
with Ricky's mother.

Oh? The married one
or the gay one?

Did everyone know but me?

I think so.
Good night.

Ahh!
[phone beeping]

[line ringing]

[Anne]
Hey.

I thought you might call.
Why is that?

Have you talked to Amy?
No, not for hours. Why?

So she hasn't
told you anything?

No. She didn't even tell me
that Ricky's mom is gay.

Yeah, she is.
Did everyone know but me?

[chuckling]
Probably.

[sighs]
So what's going on with Amy?
What now?

What comes after
a ridiculous marriage proposal

and trying to seduce
the father of her baby
in front of me?

She wants to move in with him.
She wants to live with Ricky,
not married.

What the hell?
She's not gonna do that.
I do not want her doing that.

What is wrong with these people?
Getting married
and having babies

and living with each other
and acting like total idiots.

Jealous?

Maybe.
But that doesn't mean my Amy

is moving in with that--
that-- that--

Father of her baby?

I think it might be okay.

I think it might
be good for them.

You know, maybe by the time
she gets out of high school,

she'll realize that
she doesn't wanna be married,

and she'll choose
what college she goes to

based on what's best
for her future

and not what's closest
to the butcher shop.

Anne, we are not
gonna let her do that.

I don't really think
that we can stop her
from doing that,

if that's what she wants to do,
and I'd rather not try.

I'm supposed to just sit here
and let that happen?

No. You're supposed
to get back out there

and get a life,
and so am I.

[sighs]

Oh, I'm so sleepy.

You wanna stay over?
[chuckles]

I wanna stay over
for the rest of our lives,

but I know
you don't want that,

so I better get up
and go home.

It's late.
You don't have to go.

I wouldn't want you to feel
like I'm moving in or anything.

Amy, I'd be okay with that--
with you and me living together.

I'm just not okay
with getting married.

You'd be okay with that?

Oh. Oh, now I get it.

This is what you wanted
all along tonight.

Now you don't wanna get married.
You wanna live together.

Yeah, I do.

I mean, if you don't
wanna get married now,

you're probably never
gonna wanna get married.

I'm fine with that.

I just wanna be with you.

Yeah, well,
no matter what we want,

I don't think your parents
would ever let us live together.

No. They will.

I already talked
to my mother about it,
and she said okay.

She's gonna talk to my dad.
And we can talk to my dad.

We'll see.

I'm kidding.
[chuckles]

So you want me
to move in here?

Yeah. But not right away.

Give me some time
to talk to Mr. Boykewich

and make sure it's okay
with him, all right?

How much time?

A week.

Okay. I'm sure
he won't object.

He's buying a condo
for Ben and Adrian

so they can live together.

But they're getting married.

And if he wants us
to get married
before we live together--

Then I'll say no,

or we won't
live together.

Okay.

And sex?

We'll see.

[chuckles]
