The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 3, Episode 3 - Get Out of Town - full transcript

???

Adrian's not pregnant.
I saw the results,
and they were wrong.

The tests are accurate.
Well, maybe Adrian
read it wrong.

Maybe she's not pregnant
because she had an abortion.

I told her not to do that,
and I don't think
she would do that.

If my parents think
I have a place to live,

then my dad can accept the job,
and they'll take off.

Where are you
really gonna stay?

I don't know.
I'll find someplace.

You, Amy Juergens,
have been invited to attend

a four-week, all-expenses paid
program for young musicians



this summer in New York.

Congratulations
on getting the offer,

and my condolences on not
being able to accept.

If people find out
that I was pregnant,

or later,
find out that I had an abortion,

I can live with that.

I'm gonna tell my mother.
My mother will go with me.

Ben, Adrian is pregnant.

- No, she's not.
- Yes, she is.

And if she told you she isn't,
she lied.

I got accepted
into a summer program

at the Nomkomf School
of Music in New York.
You should go.

Ben, whatever it is,
you can tell me.

I'm your dad.
I love you.



Adrian's pregnant,
and it's my baby.

Wow.

It's really getting
kind of late.

Why don't you two
get some sleep?

Ben, you didn't even
touch your dinner.

You want me to make you
a sandwich or something?

Thank you, Betty, but,
uh, I'm still not hungry.

Well, all right, then.

How about everybody
just says good night?

Good night.
Good night.

Leo, come on, honey.

It's not so bad.
I mean, there are worse problems

than-- than Ben and Adrian.

I mean, it's all gonna
work itself out.

You'll see.

All right. Well,
I'm gonna say good night.

Good night.

And I just wanna say
that I love you both,

and I don't want
either of you to say,
"I love you, too, Betty,"

because if you love me,

you would take my advice
and you would sleep on it.

Good night.

I remember when
I said that to George

when you and Amy
wanted to get married.

I told them
there were worse problems

than two teenagers
getting married

and having a baby.

I'm glad Betty
reminded me of that.

There are worse problems.

You're not sick.
I'm not sick.

Betty's not sick.

No one's sick.
You're not on drugs.

You don't have a problem
with alcohol.

You're not flunking
out of school.

You didn't wreck the car
and get hurt
or hurt someone else.

Business is good.
The company's doing well.

And I have a lovely bride
upstairs who's waiting for me.

And I do love her.

So let's take Betty's advice
and sleep on this.

[sighs]
And tomorrow,
you talk to Adrian.

About what?
Dad, I already told you.

She doesn't want me to know.
But you do know.

I do, but I don't.

No. You do,
but you don't want to.

No, I don't.

And that's Adrian's decision
for me not to know.

And whatever she decides
to do about...this

is her decision.

And that way,
you don't have to be involved.

I know that's what
you're thinking.

I admitted
that's what I'm thinking.

I don't wanna be involved.

And what happens if Adrian
decides to have the baby?

You gonna get involved then?
She's not going to do that.

You never know, son.
What if she does?

She won't.
She might.

So do like I told you
and talk to her tomorrow.

And keep talking to her.

And keep talking to me,
and I'll keep talking to you.

I love you, Ben,
and I feel for you and Adrian,

but...

I'm not gonna say it.

You mean you're not
gonna say it again.

You're just as responsible
as Adrian is for what happened.

I may be just as responsible
as Adrian for what happened,

but what she does
about what happened
is up to her.

And you're gonna go
running off to Amy

and leave Adrian
to hdle this all by herself

because you're not
supposed to know anything?

Yep.

Are you gonna let Amy
find out from someone else?

Are you?
Are you gonna tell her?

I don't know
if she has to find out.

I mean,
you wouldn't have found out
if I hadn't told you.

What do you want from me?
I want you to tell Amy,

and I want you to be
as kind to Adrian

as you were to Amy
when she was in this situation.

That's what I want.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

You don't want me to be
so kind to Adrian

as to offer to marry her
like I did Amy, do you?

I mean, you can't
possibly think that.

Yeah, well,
maybe I do think that.

Good night.

This can't be happening.

[chuckles]

Falling in love

Is such an easy thing to do

Birds can do it We can do it

Let's stop talking Let's get to it,
Let's fall in love...

Hey. It's late.
You should be in bed.

I know.

Did you call
to say good night?

Yeah. Kind of.

Is everything okay?

Of course everything is okay.

I'm just anxious for you
to get home.

Because?

Because my mom and my dad
are married now,

and the three of us
have yet to be together
at the same time in our house.

Yeah. And?

And so I'm just
checking to see

if you're coming home
tomorrow night.

Definitely coming home
tomorrow night.

I'm definitely coming home
tomorrow night.

What time? Maybe I can
make dinner for all of us.

Uh, a home-cooked meal
with you and Ruben sounds great.

But I'm flying
in around 11:30,

so I won't be there
until after midnight.

After midnight, huh?

Yeah. But we can all
have breakfast together

the next morning,
before you go to school.

Yeah, I guess.

Are you sure
everything's okay?

Yeah.

You didn't sleep
with Ben again, did you?

No, I'm never sleeping
with Ben again.

Okay.

Ricky?
Did you go back with Ricky?

Did you try
to go back with Ricky?
Is it Ricky?

Mom, really, it's just you.

I miss you, and I'm just
really looking forward
to seeing you, and so is Ruben.

You're sure it's not
something else?

Why do I feel like
there's something else?

[gasps] You're not trying
to tell me he's already
cheating on me, are you?

The first week you're married?

Mom, no.
Ruben wouldn't do that.
He would never do that.

Well, there's something
you're not telling me.

I can tell, Adrian.
Come on. What is it?

I've never heard anyone
so paranoid.

I just love you, okay?
I love you and I miss you,
and so does Dad.

All right.

I love you,
and I miss you, too.

Good night.

Good night, Adrian.

[beeps]

[sighs]

Where are you going
in such a hurry?

Nowhere.

You want me
to help you out there?

No. I can do it.
I'm just making a sandwich.

Well, you had dinner, like,

four hours ago.

Okay, it was four hours ago.

So, I can make you
a sandwich.

Let me make you a sandwich.

I know you can make me
a sandwich.

But it's late.
Go back to bed.

Oh, I get it.

Mom hung up and called you
and told you to run down here
and see if I'm okay.

Yeah. So I did.

I had to.

So, are you okay?

I'm okay.

What are you looking for?

I don't know.
But your mother's sure
that you're not okay.

But I am okay.

All right.

What do you want me to tell her
when I call her back?

Okay.

[beeping]

[ringing]
What did she say?

She said to stop worrying,
she's fine, and she loves
her crazy mama.

All right.
Then you're fine.
And I love you, too.

Good night, again.

Good night again
to you, sweetie.
[kisses]

You don't want some help?
I don't want some help.

All right. Good night.
I love you, Adrian.

I love you, too.

[beeping]

[rings]

[beeps]

[sighs]
[beeping]

[ringing]

Hello?
What's up?

I've been texting you
for an hour.

So you're still up?

I was sleeping,

but I got hungry and came down
to make a sandwich.

What are you doing up?
Can't sleep.

Why not?
Adrian,

I think we have to talk.

Okay. But not tonight.

Maybe tomorrow
or the next day or whenever.

But at some point,
we'll talk.

"Or whenever"?
Whenever what?

Ben, I asked you
to give me a few days.

I know.

Didn't I see you
over at Amy's tonight?

You and Amy
getting back together.

That's a good thing, right?
You and Amy?

Yeah.

So just leave things
like they are, Ben.

All right?
Go and be with Amy
and don't even think about me.

So, are you still...pregnant?

Leave it alone, Ben.

Just leave it alone, please.

I can't.

You can.

Did someone say
something to you?

No one said anything to me.
Who would say anything to me?

Ricky.

And it's none of his business.

And it's none of your business.
It's no one's business.

Adrian, I hate
to tell you this,

but I told my dad.

You told me
you wouldn't do that.

You promised me
you wouldn't do that.

You promised me you'd give me
a couple of days.

I couldn't help it.

My dad and I are very close.

I had to tell him, Adrian.
I can't hide this from him.

There's not going to be
anything to hide.

I'm just waiting
until my mother gets back,

and then I'll tell her,
and I'll take care of it.

You sure you wanna do that?

Yeah, I'm sure I don't
wanna have a baby.

And I'm even more sure
you don't wanna have a baby.

So just leave me alone,
all right?

Let me do what I wanna do,
what I have to do.

Good night, Ben.
[beeps]

[beeps]

[beeping]

[beeps]
Hold on a second.

[sighs]
How'd I know who it is?

Well, who else would it be?
It's Adrian.

Yeah. All right.
I don't care if it's Adrian.

Well, you cared enough to go
over to her house today.

I wanted her to tell me.
I wanted to hear it from her.

I wanted to see
the look on her face
so I'd know it's true.

Why?
Why?

Yeah. Why?

Why do you wanna
know the truth?

It's not your baby.

She's not pregnant
with your baby,
so why do you wanna know?

Because I think
Ben should know.

Oh, come on. He knows.

He's just pretending
not to know.

He's not exactly pretending.

It's more like insisting
on not knowing.

I tried to talk
to him about it.

He doesn't wanna hear it.
He doesn't wanna know.

Yeah. He and Adrian have agreed
that he shouldn't know anything.

So why are you getting
in the middle of their business?

Because Ben's my friend,
because I've been through this,

and because I think
he should know,

and he should be responsible
for whatever happens, too.

Well, isn't he really
better off not knowing?

What guy's better off
not knowing, huh?
Tell me that.

Ben. That's who's
better off not knowing.

And that's what he and Adrian
have agreed to,

so why don't you
just leave it alone?

[sighs]
Jeez, you need to get a hobby,

or go back to having stupid
indiscriminate sex or something.

This isn't like you--
getting into
everyone's business.

What-- I'm not in
everyone's business.
This is my business.

No, it's not.
But you know what is?

Amy and John.

And if Amy wants to go
to a music program in New York
for four weeks,

you should encourage her
to do that.

You should do whatever
you have to do and say
whatever you have to say

to get her to go away
this summer.

Why? So she won't find out?
She'll find out.

Someone will tell her.
That's why Ben should tell her.

And how's he gonna do that
if he doesn't admit
that he knows?

She doesn't
have to find out.

Come on, Ashley.
She's gonna find out.
She is.

You're not gonna tell her.
No, I'm not.

But believe me, someone will,
and it should be Ben.

No, it should be Adrian,

and only if Adrian
wants her to know.

And she doesn't want her
or anyone else to know,

so why don't you
just leave it alone?

Please, just leave it alone.

Good night.
[beeps]

I have a job interview
tomorrow.

I asked Amy
to drop Robbie off

at the church nursery
with John.

What?
What part of that
do you want me to repeat?

You're just gonna pawn
our son off
at the church nursery

so you can go look
for a job you don't need?

I'm paying the nursery.

It's not like I asked them
to watch Robbie for free.

My son is not staying
at the church nursery.

We're not Amy and Ricky.
We're adults. We can
take care of our own baby.

You have to work,
and I need to find work.

Why? I'm happy to share
whatever I have with you.

Don't I share
whatever I have with you?

And don't I share
the house with you?

It's my house.
I got it in the settlement.

Yeah, and it's my store
and my money,

and I got that
in the settlement, but I
never point that out to you.

I just keep money
in both bank accounts

just like I did when there
was only one bank account.

Yes, you do, and that's why
I don't ask you to pay rent.

But I would just feel
more comfortable

earning my own money
than taking money from you.

[clang, distant]

[whining]

The baby's sleeping.
What are you doing up so late?

It's 1:00 in the morning.
Why are you up so late?

I-I'm studying.

You are?
I cannot tell a lie.

Since when?

I can't sleep.
I'm worried about Amy.

[both]
Why?

Well, she really
wants to go

to this summer music program
in New York.

What summer music program
in New York?

Yeah, what program?
Why didn't she tell us?

I don't know,
but I thought I should tell you.

I told her she should go,
but she said she can't
because of John.

Well, what kind of program?
The kind of program
where she can't go

because she has a baby,
like all other programs,
any one she wants to go to.

Only Amy has
a full scholarship and housing

if she can take part
in this program with students
from all over the country.

What?
Yeah. It's a huge honor.

Well, then, she has to go.

We have to figure out some way
so she can go.

Yeah, let's send her off to band
camp in New York where there
will be millions of Rickys.

Maybe she'll have
another baby.

She's on the pill, remember?

[sighs]

Anyway, I'll talk to Amy
about it in the morning.

Yeah. So will I.

Well, maybe you and I
should talk about it first.

Maybe we should.
I said we should.

Good night, Ashley.
You need to get some sleep.
You have school in the morning.

Good night, Mom.
Good night.

Oh, and thanks again
for trusting me

to make my own decisions
about school tomorrow
and every day.

Well, I just hope that you
don't find yourself

dealing with
any unpleasant consequences

as a result of making
your own decisions.

Like?

Like getting arrested
for truancy.

But thanks for letting us
know about Amy.

I don't know why Amy
didn't let us know herself.
But thank you.

And just why would
you think your sister

should be away all summer
in New York, of all places?

It's just for four weeks.

And it's a good thing for Amy.

Jeez, excuse me
for being a good sister.

[ice rattles]

Hi. You're home late.
Long day?

Yeah. Very long.

We missed you at dinner.

Complicated delivery.

Everything turn out okay?

Is the mom okay?
Is the baby okay?

Mother's fine.
Baby's fine.

Dad's a little stressed out.
But, uh, what's going on?

"What's going on?"

You seem-- I don't know--
a little

extra-special friendly,
especially for this late hour.

You noticed?
I did.

[sighs]
All right.

Well, I was just thinking
that maybe

you were right
and I was wrong...about Adrian.

Oh.

And if you are right
about Adrian,

do you know any couples that
are looking to adopt a baby?

Why do you ask?
I wanna offer Adrian my help

by offering her some options.

Real options like names
and phone numbers.

Ah. Yeah. See, that would be
offering Adrian my help.

Did Adrian ask you
to give her some options?

No, but that's only because
she hasn't told me
she's pregnant yet.

I'm her best friend.
She'll ask. I know she will.

I mean, if you're right,
and there really is a baby.

You mean, if there really
is a pregnancy?
Baby.

Why are you making this
your concern?

It is my concern.

I don't want it to be,
but it is.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.
That's why I can't sleep.

I wanna get to her
right away with some options.

She needs options.
Can I make a suggestion?

Why don't you just focus
on you and your own life?

I don't know what you mean.
[scoffs]

You know what, Grace?
I'm not sure you do know
what I mean.

What I mean is,
why don't you let Adrian
deal with her problems,

and why don't you do just
whatever it is you need to do
to worry about you right now?

Are you all set to go
to med camp this summer?

I was, but now I think
I'm just gonna hang around here
this summer.

I see.

No, you don't.
You don't see.

You don't see that
my best friend is pregnant
and having a baby.

I wanna be there for him-- her.
Him?

Just say what
you wanna say, Jeff.

All right, Grace. Look,
you have what it takes
to become a doctor.

I really believe that.

But the sooner you start
focusing on that goal,
the better.

Go to med camp.
Start zeroing in on
the colleges you wanna get into

and give yourself
some real options, okay?

Why don't you do that?
Why don't you get involved

in your own life
and start focusing
on yourself for a change?

Because I don't want to.

So, Adrian's pregnant.

Well, I don't know, Tom.

But whether she is or not,
that's nobody's business
but Adrian's.

Good morning.

Yeah. Good morning.

Why are you wearing a suit?
Are you going somewhere?

I hope so.
It's time for me to get a job.

In this economy?

[chuckles]
I'm just kidding.

I was just repeating
your little joke
that you made to Jeff.

Jeff told me.
Actually, I thought
it was kind of funny,

but I'm sure it was
much funnier when you said it.

Okay, you know,
I think it's great.

You should get a job.

I will.

First, I will get a job,

and then I will
find a place to live.

You don't need a place to live.
You have a place to live.

You can live right here.

And, Tom, why are you
suddenly thinking
about getting a job?

I'm thinking
I might get married.

Oh.

Are you okay with that?

Uh, well,

yeah, I guess
I'm okay with that.

But, uh, yeah, first,
you need to get a job.

And then I get
my own apartment.

Well, I don't know about that.

But, um, you know, actually,

you can live in the guest house,
you know, eventually.

It's kind of like
an apartment.

The guest house?

You mean, the haunted house?

[chuckling]
Come on, honey.
It's not haunted.

Yes, it is.
No, it's not.

That's where Dad

went when he wanted
to be alone.

He's in there.
I know he's in there.

Come on, honey.
He's not in there.

And we don't believe
in ghosts around here.

I do.

But I will live
in a haunted house

if I have to.

I am getting a job,

and I am getting married.

Okay. Well,
we can think about all that,

but, well, one thing
at a time, okay?

We don't need
to rush into anything.

Oh, no, I don't wanna
live with you.
Accept it.

Tom, when you say
you wanna get married,

you do mean to Tammy,
don't you?

I'll let you know.

You're absolutely sure
you can find a place.

I'm sure.
I have a couple offers,

but they're just
guys from the team,

and I don't really wanna live
in a party atmosphere,
you know?

I gotta think about my grades
and getting into college.

So you have no prospects.
No. I do.

No pressure,
but we're running out of time.

Time's up. Go.
I'll settle on someplace today.

Jack--

Mom, I promise, I will.

If nothing else,
Ricky said I could stay there.

At Ricky's apartment?
I don't think
that's a good idea.

I think you need
parents around.

All right.
Then I'll stay with Coach.
The school allows that?

Yeah. Other guys have
stayed there temporarily.

Really?
Because that would be great.

I love Coach Carter,
and he would definitely
keep you in line.

Ah. So that's why
you're still looking

for someplace other
than Coach Carter's.

Yeah.

All right. Well,

if you don't find something
by the end of the week,

I suggest you take advantage
of that offer.

All right.
I feel so guilty
about this.

You don't look guilty.
You look happy.

And you deserve
some happiness, Mom.

It's okay, really.
I'm practically a grown man.

But you'll always
be my baby.

Aw, Mom.

By the way,
how's Madison?

She's good.
I like Madison.

I know. So do I.

But you had dinner over
at Grace's house last night.

We're just friends.
Friends who have had sex.

But we're just friends now.

Don't do anything stupid
with your friend.

Believe me, we won't.

I'm surrounded by stupid.

What's that mean?

That means I think Adrian
and Ben did something stupid.

Something stupid like...

Something stupid
like Ricky and Amy did.

Adrian's having a baby?

I don't know
if she's having it.

Oh, boy.
I feel for Adrian and Ben,

but I am glad it's not you.

I am really, really glad
it's not you.

So you bring
this up because...

Because Grace thinks
we need to gather around Adrian

and support her
and encourage her
to have the baby.

And what do you think?

I think we should
stay out of it.

It's a really
personal decision.

The most personal.
What do you think?

I think what
I've always thought.

Stay away from Grace.
I like Madison.

[chuckles]

I hate to hear this
about Adrian and Ben.

Sex can be fun
and very complicated,

especially at your age.

I know I had
a lot of fun with your father
when we were younger,

but we were careful.

We took every
precaution possible.

I was on the pill.
We used a condom.

So did Adrian and Ben,
and yet--

And yet it can still happen.

Yeah.

Be careful out there, okay?

Promise?
Promise.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling fine.

I don't wanna talk
about how I'm feeling

because I don't wanna
think about it, okay?

I think about it,
I get sick.

Sorry.

Ben, I know
you mean well, but--

I don't mean well.

I just asked you
to meet me here early
because my dad wants us to talk.

And I met you here early
because I'm hiding from my dad,

because I don't wanna talk

to him or to you
or to Grace.

I'm avoiding her.

Or I'm trying to.

And if you wanna
do something for me,

go around the corner
and see if she's there.

And if she is,
talk to her.

That's who you can talk to.
And tell her
to leave me alone.

I don't know.

You don't know what?

Just do it. Please?

Okay.

You looking for Adrian?

Hi, Ben.

Yeah, I'm looking
for Adrian.

I didn't even say good morning.
Good morning.

Good morning, Ben.
You're my friend,
right, Grace?

Of course I'm your friend.
I'm friends with Adrian, too.

And as our friend,
you wouldn't do anything

to hurt either one of us,
right?

No, of course not.

Grace, please,

please just leave this
to Adrian.

Let Adrian do whatever
Adrian wants to do.

I want to, Ben.
I just don't know if I can.

[door opens]

I'm so sorry
about last night.

Me, too.

This. This is what
I was talking about.

Something is going on.
Not really.

Well, something's
going on with me.

Really?

Yeah. That's why
I'm here early.

Because of that summer
music program in New York
I told you about yesterday,

the one that offered me
the scholarship and housing

and living expenses
and everything.

I really wanna go.

I just don't want to leave
you and John,

but I wanna go.

Ben, say something. Please?

Ah, Amy.

Bye-bye, Ben.
Catch you later.

Did you have a good time
last night with Ben?
I hope so.

And I hope you got
a lot of sleep because,
unfortunately,

we're gonna need to make
this decision a little bit
quicker than I thought.

Okay? Come on.

This is my opinion,
my professional opinion--

as a trained counselor
with a doctorate

in educational counseling
but no children--

Go.
John just turned one.

[sighs]
All right. I hate to brag,

but my master's thesis
was on the hormones
of attachment.

Secure attachment
is typically solidified
by one year.

Now, there may be
a short adjustment,

but as long as another caregiver
gives John adequate attention,
he'll be just fine.

Really? Because I wanna go,
I just don't know how I can.

Amy, it's not like
you're a single mom

living on your own
with no one to help you.

You've got your mom and dad,
you live at home,

and Ricky, John's dad,
is very much involved
in his life.

I really wanna go,
but you know me--

Or you don't know me.

But I just want everyone
to be okay with it.

I want everyone's approval.

Oh, Amy,
don't get so caught up

in, you know, public opinion
and approval and attention.

Just do it,
with your parents' approval,
of course, and Ricky's.

I slipped out of the house
this morning
before anyone else was up.

I wanted to spend some time
alone with John
before I took him to daycare.

I just wanted to see
if I really thought I could
leave him for four weeks.

It's four whole weeks.

I love John more
than I love anyone
or anything else in the world.

Then I guess you're
gonna have to do this
for John's mother, aren't you?

Go forth.

Gather your troops.
Get their blessings.

I kind of have to tell
the school your decision
first thing in the morning.

What?
Yeah.

I, uh, sort of missed that
in the fine print yesterday.

You have to leave
[clears throat]
tomorrow.

Well, and then I come back.

No. Mm-mm. No.
But school's not even out.

Yeah. That.
I'll take care of that, too.

With all the earthquakes
and the fires
and the mudslides and all that,

our school year is running
a little bit behind
the rest of the country.

So I kind of got you
into this program

because someone else canceled,
and you were kind of on reserve.

But you made it.
So get out there.

Talk to your friends and family
and make up your mind.

We don't have much time.
[chuckles]

[chuckles]

I was wrong.
You should go.

And you can go, so go.

If you stay here,
you're just gonna be unhappy,

believe me.

If you pass this up for John,
you're gonna resent him.

So go. He'll be fine.

I'll take care of him.

I'll even stay at your house
with him Monday through Friday

so he'll be
on the same schedule.

I mean,
I don't wanna stay there,
but I will.

Well, I said you should go.

The question is,
why she said you should go.

Not that it isn't a good idea.

It's a good idea.
I'd love to go to New York.

Well, I feel like
if anybody's gonna visit you,
it should be Lauren and me.

Maybe we could audition
for something
while we're out there.

And then, like,
in a couple years, we could
all go to school together,

and we could get, like,
a cute little apartment
on the West Side,

and we could just hang out
and meet guys.

It would be just like
Sex and the City.

I think you should go.

And don't let Ben
stop you from going.

Ben will wait for you.
loves you.

But he shouldn't keep you
from having a good time.

You deserve
to have a good time.

Remember,
you're a teenage mother.

This could be your last chance
to have a good time. Go.

What, are you afraid
to go to New York and compete?

Huh? Afraid you don't have
what it takes?

Afraid of failing?
I would be.

But you should go.

I've never actually heard you
play the French horn.

But I know you've got chutzpah.
You know how I know?

You came to school pregnant,
had the baby,
you came back to school.

This could not
be harder than that,
no matter what Hank just said.

This is great news.

I mean, for you.

I'm so happy.

For you. Wow.

It's gonna be a great summer.

For you.

You definitely should go.

Definitely.
Hey, your room's not gonna be...

Nah, I don't guess
that would work.

You should go.

Don't worry about me.
I'm gonna be fine.

I love you, Amy.

You know that, right,
that I love you?

And if I can
help out with John,

I'd be more than happy
to do anything that Ricky

or your family
needs me to do.

I love John, too.

[scoffs]

I'm making too big a deal
out of this.

It's four weeks.
It's not that big a deal.

What can happen
in four weeks?

I am not in love
with your Ben, so go.

He'll be here when you get back.
Go to New York.

I heard you were
asking around about New York.

And everyone thinks
you should go.

Everyone.

Maybe people will quit
talking about you.

I went to New York once.
It was great.

But I got mugged.

Will you bring me
one of those snow globes--

one with the Chrysler Building?

I have a collection.

Your parents are letting
you do that? You?

You have to go, Amy.

It's always been your dream
to go to New York
and study music.

You can live your dreams.
You can.

You just can't quit dreaming.

You really wanna play
the French horn that badly?

Isn't that how you got
in trouble in the first place?

[sighs]
All right. Go.

You should go.
You should.

I mean, it's not
costing me anything, right?

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

So we're just gonna
let her go to New York
just like that?

Just like that.
I don't really think
we have a choice.

We have a choice.
We can tell her no.

Do you really wanna
tell Amy no?

No, not really.
I'm kind of proud of her.

More importantly,
I think she's kind of
proud of herself.

I'm kind of proud
of us, too,

what with being divorced
and not liking each other
so much right now

and not agreeing
on almost everything,

we're still able to come
together and do something nice
for our daughter.

Yeah.

You wouldn't wanna maybe
do something nice
for each other?

You mean--

I mean,
it's been a long time.

Yeah, it has been
a long time.

Yeah, I think I can
go for that.

Hand me that boy.

I'll be right back.
Come on, my man.

Moose, out.

[whines]

[sighs]

Her mother kept saying
something was wrong.

I just...

I didn't...
[sighs]

Oh, God. A baby?

Well...

"Well"?

I guess it's not
the worst thing that can happen.

What? Yes,
it is the worst thing
that can happen.

I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.

Ben and Adrian-- the two of them
took every precaution possible.

It just happened.
How?

I think there was
some technical problems.

New pill.

Condom broke.

We just
became a family.

We're just starting out,
the three of us.

Cindy hasn't even spent
a night in the house yet
as my wife.

She left to go to work.

Now she's coming back
tonight, and...

[sighs]

She kept saying
that something was wrong.

I said that already.

I don't know what to say.
I just...

I didn't...

Oh, God. A baby?

Look, I know it has to
be Adrian's decision, but--

Whoa, whoa.
Stop right there.

Don't even think about it.
She's not doing that.

She's not...
terminating the pregnancy.
I won't allow it.

Well, I guess that's something
the three of you
have to talk about.

Oh. Is that what you want?

You want her
to terminate the pregnancy?

Are you here to offer me money
for her to terminate
the pregnancy?

Hey, that's not
what I'm here for.

That's not what
I'm her for at all.

I'm not thinking that at all.
I'm not here to offer you money.

I'm just here to tell you
that I'll see to it

that my son steps up
to the plate here

and supports your daughter
in whatever she wants to do.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I said that.

I don't know
what I'm saying.

Oh, God.

A baby.

I'm sorry to be the one
to have to tell you this.

I was hoping
you knew already.

But I just felt
I needed to talk to you

because time
is of the essence.

And please, please, don't go hn
I told you.

Please, let her tell you.

Maybe since you know already,

it'll be easier to handle.

Okay, not easier.

Look, Ruben, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry this happened
to Ben,

to Adrian, to all of us.

How was school today?

You asked me that already.
School was school.

Anything going on
at school?

No.

Anything going on in life?

What?

Well, I just wanna know
if there's anything going on

with Ricky or Ben...

or any other guy

or any of your friends--
Grace or, um--

Or Grace.
That's my only friend.

And she's getting on my nerves
right now, but so are you.

I have a test tomorrow.
I'm trying to study here.

Oh, a test, huh?
Anything I can help you with?

Nope.

It's almost time
for your mom to get home.

It's two hours
until she gets home.

And I'm not gonna
stay up two hours,
because you know her.

It'll probably be
past the time she says
she'll get here.

Good night.

Wait.
Yeah?

I just, uh...

I just wanna tell you
that I love you, Adrian,

and that I'm really happy
that you're my daughter,

and that
I married your mother.

We're a family,

and we're a family
in sickness and in health,

whether we're richer
or poorer or--

Have you been drinking?
No. No, I haven't.

Well, maybe you should
go to bed, get some rest.

You seem a little odd.
Good night.

Good night.

I love you, Adrian.

I love you.

[knocking on door]

Hey, how was your day today?
How'd it go?

[sighs]
Amy's going to a music program
in New York, and she's leaving.

And I can't, Dad.
I can't tell her.
Not before she takes off.

Which is when?
Tomorrow.

Oh, jeez, Ben.

It's an honors music program.

It's the first good thing
that's happened to Amy
in a long time.

Everyone's so excited for her.

Really, Dad, I can't tell her.
Not now.

Yeah, I guess not.

Oh, thank heavens
you said that,

because I cannot
take the pressure of telling her

and ruining her life yet again
before she goes off
for the summer.

How's it going with Adrian?
You talk to her?

I talked to her.
Her mom's getting home tonight,

and she's talking to her
tomorrow morning.

And then she said
that we'll talk.

Although I don't know why.

I'm sure that
when she talks to her mom,
they'll make the decision,

and I'll have very little
to do with it.

Even though I told her
that I do wanna be involved,
per your request.

Good. Good.
You talked to her.
That's good.

Honestly, Dad,

I wanna be okay with
whatever decision Adrian makes,

but I'm not so sure.

I'm getting really nervous

that she's gonna go
and do something tomorrow

that I'll regret

or that she'll regret.

I don't know.
I don't know either.

But I, uh...

Listen, uh,
here's the thing.

Dad, you don't look so good.

I have to tell you
something, Ben.

It's probably
gonna make you angry,

but you and I
are gonna be angry
off and on with each other.

I mean, that happens,
especially with
these situations.

What?

I wasn't at
a business dinner.

I had dinner
with Adrian's dad.

I told him.

And I told him we'll dó
whatever they needed us to do.

"Us"?

This isn't about us.

This is about me and Adrian
and Amy and...

Dad, how could you do that?

I had to.

I thought it was
the right thing to do,
and it was.

[scoffs]

It's late.
It's almost midnight.

I've gotta go.
I know.

I just wanna make sure
you know where everything is.

I know where everything is.
I'm here almost every day.

[chuckles]

I can't believe
that you'd stay here
for a month.

It is so nice of you,
especially with my crazy family.

John'll miss you.

But he'll be fine.

But I am taking him
to my apartment on the weekends

and over to my family's house
just like we said I could do,

just like we agreed to.
I know.

But...
[sighs]

Okay.

But if you decide that you
wanna stay here on the weekends

and not start taking him
to your place on the weekends

until after I get back,
you could do that.

I could do that.
Please do that.

Stay here for a month
with your dad

and your mom and Robbie
and Ashley?

It's just a month.
You'll go to school,

and when you're out of school,
you'll go to work.

It won't be so bad.
It's what I do every day.

I'll think about it.
We'll see how it goes.

Please?

Okay, Amy.

If it means that much
to you, okay.

I'll try. No promises.

Thank you.
[laughs]

Thank you, thank you.
I love you.

You what?
Like a brother.

Like the father of my baby
that I don't wanna be with.
Gee, thanks.

You know what I mean.
And I love Ben.
You know that.

I do.

He's driving me
to the airport tomorrow.

Well, his driver's
driving us to the airport
tomorrow afternoon.

And then, tomorrow night,
I'll be in New York!
[laughs]

[chuckles]

I'm really scared
but mostly excited.

I can't believe
this is happening to me.

Something good
finally happened to me.

Hi, husband.
I'm home.

Hey, wife.

I'm happy to have you home.

What's the matter?

Adrian's pregnant.
