The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 3, Episode 5 - Which Way Did She Go? - full transcript

With Amy away in New York at music camp, a ridiculous rumor that she is pregnant again spreads through school. Adrian has decided she does not want to keep the baby, but her parents argue over whose choice that should be. Jack moves into the Bowmans' guest house with Tom, and Ricky is living with the Juergens to help with John. Ashley and Ricky share an intimate moment.

Do you want Adrian
to have the baby?

What are we gonna do
with a baby?

I'm okay with
whatever you wanna do.

- I don't wanna have a baby.
- You don't have to.

I don't want you and Ricky
to be anywhere near each other.

I see the way he looks at you,
and I see the way you look at him.

I am not interested
in you living at our house.
But you find a place to live.

No one's gonna get in the way
of my life with Amy and John.

- Unless Adrian has your baby.
- I am... mov-ing.

- Where you moving?
- Maybe the guest house.

If you're too scared
to stay out there by yourself,
maybe I could crash with you.



Deep down, you have
a really big heart

and a good conscience,
and you wanna do
the right thing.

Is it right to bring a baby
into the world

when I don't want that baby
and Ben doesn't want that baby?

You're the one who suggested
I go out and have

indiscriminate,
meaningless sex.

You didn't have to
if you didn't want to.
You're jealous.

I can't believe I have
my own apartment in New York.

Don't forget,
it's a four-week life.

We'll need you back here
after four weeks.

You're my daughter,

and I don't want you
to terminate the pregnancy.

You can't decide that.

Then maybe we really
shouldn't be a family.



I want to take care of you.

Will you marry me?

[ringing]

[beeps]
Hello.

Dad, it's me.
What's up? It's Amy.

What's wrong?

Amy, what time is it?

Uh, it's 7 here.

Amy, it's 4:00 in the morning.

I know, but I don't know
how to get to where I'm going.

Get a taxi.

I don't think
we're supposed to do that.

The instructions say
to take a subway,

but I don't know
where I can find a subway.

Oh, I'm sure you can find it,

but you need to leave
your apartment and go outside.

I know.

But it's so nice in here.
[laughs]

Did I tell you
I have a kitchen?

Your dad told me.

Do you need to be somewhere
at a certain time, Amy?

I just have to register today.

How do I pay for the subway?

You buy a MetroCard.

Where do I buy that?

Amy, we went over all this
before you left.

You buy MetroCards
in the subway station.

Do you have your map?

The subway stations
are marked on the map.

It's really easy to find
your way around there.
It's on a grid.

All right.
Well, wish me luck.

Good luck, Amy.

Are you okay?

I guess. I mean,
I love my apartment.

Dorm room.
Your dad wants you
to call it a dorm room,

so call it that.

He'll sleep a lot easier

and so will I,

especially if you don't call
at 4 in the morning, okay?

All right.
Have a nice day.

You, too, Amy.

You have a good
first day in New York.

And you'll be fine.

New Yorkers are really friendly,

and they're used
to seeing people lost.

They'll help you
if you need help.

You can help yourself
just by looking at a map.

All right.
Bye, Mom.

Bye, honey.

[beeps]

I should've gone with her.

I would've gone with her
if I'd known she was
getting an apartment.

Well, I'm wide awake now.

Me, too.

Really?

SING 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 !

I've heard Amy Juergens
play the French horn.

She's good,
but she's not that good.

She's first chair,
and she's a sophomore.

Have you heard
the second and third chair?

Of course
she's a first chair.

So what are you
getting at?

I'll tell you
what I'm getting at.

There are two weeks
of school left,
and she's not here.

You know why?
She's already showing.

Showing what?

Hello! She's pregnant,
again.

Uh, you better shut up.

Amy Juergens is not
pregnant again.

What'd I tell you?
Covering.

Now we know she's pregnant.

Hey, so it's all over school.

Juergens is pregnant again.

I need a confirmation.

Amy Juergens
is not pregnant again.

She's in New York
at a music program
for great musicians.

Because she is
a great musician.

Oh, I see. Oh, hey, hey.
What are the stats

on teen mothers getting pregnant
a second time?

1 in 4 teenage mothers
has a second child

within two years
of having their first.

Why?
I have to make the odds.

Who is pregnant again?
Amy.

Only she's not.

I thought she went
to New York.

She did go to New York.
Ben took her to the airport yesterday.

Yeah. She's in New York.
Yeah, she is.

But she's not pregnant,
is she?

No, she is not,

I don't think.
She's not.

Maybe she didn't tell you
because you told everyone
last time.

This time, I didn't say anything
because there's nothing to say.

She is at a music program.

So she's not
pregnant again?

No.

No one's pregnant again.

Is there anyone pregnant
for the first time?

I don't think so.
Like who?

No one.
No one.

Are we going out
for breakfast every morning?

No, because I don't think
we'll be leaving for school

an hour early
every morning.

Well, I told you it wouldn't
take an hour to drop off John.

I mean, Amy practically
throws him from the car

and then speeds away.
She does not.

Well, I'm not gonna do that.

I'm gonna go in
every morning.

I wanna make sure
he's okay first

before I just walk off
and leave him with strangers.

Those strangers are his family
during school hours,

and he's always okay.

John loves those two
nursery ladies

more than he loves Amy
or you or me.

No, he doesn't.
Yeah, he does.

Would you stop?
Be nice.

Amy's a good mother.
She's made him feel
really secure,

and that's why John is happy,
no matter who he's with.

Amy Juergens
is pregnant again?

Hey, you, what did
you just say?

[clears throat]

Did you just say Amy Juergens
is pregnant again?

I didn't say it,
but other people are saying it.

Everyone knows it.
It's all over school.

Why do people think
that Amy's pregnant?

Because she's not here.
One quarter of all
high school students

who have babies have another
within two years.

So what?

So it makes sense.
Think about it.

We only have a couple
of weeks of school left,

and Amy just
blasted outta here.

Why would she do that
if she's not pregnant?

She's at a music program
that could help get her
into Juilliard.

When my aunt was in high school,

she got into a music program,

and, uh, she stayed there
for...nine months.

This is crazy.

Wait.

You don't think that Amy's
pregnant again, do you?

No, Ashley, I don't.

Well, I hope not.
There's no more room at the inn.

I'll see you at home.
Bye.

Hi. How are you?

I'm annoyed.
That's how I am.

Who started the rumor
that Amy's pregnant again?

She's not.
Oh, thank God.

Can you imagine
if there was two of them?

I mean, two babies

from the same mother-- Amy.

That would be really bad.

Yeah. It would.
See you, Grace.
Wait.

Just because you and Adrian
aren't talking doesn't mean
we can't be friends.

Yes, it does.

Does he know?

Yeah, he knows.

We're not gonna have
this conversation again
if you wanna be friends.

I wanna be friends.
I really do.

All right.

Cute boots.

Did you hear
Amy's pregnant again?

Did I hear? Yeah, I heard.
It's all over school.

But better her than me,
so remember--

I know, I know.
Ix-nay on the etus-fay.

Bye.

Stop that.
Stop what?

Looking at me like that.

Did you hear that
Amy's pregnant again?

Yeah, I know.
Isn't that ridiculous?

Yeah, it is.

[scoffs]

We need to talk.

I said stop looking
at me like that.

You wanna meet me after school,
or do you wanna go
someplace now?

Someplace now.

Pappas.

Yeah, Coach?

Amy Juergens
is pregnant again?

I don't think so.
I think she's really at
a music program in New York.

Amy Juergens really got into

a national program
for musicians?

Yeah.
Huh.

I guess talent
really is subjective.
I guess so.

You find a place to live yet?
Matter of fact, I did.

Great.

Oh. Excuse me.

So you found
a place to live?

Kind of.
Where?

A buddy's house.
You have a buddy?

I have lots of buddies.
Since when?

I'm on the football team.
I got friends.

You have teammates.
Whatever.

That's not what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Do you remember the other night
when we had that conversation
about Adrian?

The one where we agreed
not to talk about
Adrian anymore?

Yes. But we have to talk
about her, and to her.

We don't have to try
to convince her
not to do anything.

We just need to tell her
that we care about her
and the baby.

We said we weren't
gonna do that.

You and I both said
we weren't gonna do that.

We said we were gonna
stay out of it,
and I'm gonna stay out of it.

No, I know I said that,
but that was before

when I thought I could buy into
the whe idea--

like, it's not always wrong,
it's an individual decision.

But I can't do it.
When it comes
to moral issues, Grace,

you never seem to be able
to make up your mind.

You know, like with sex.

I know. But if we don't
talk to her--

Even if we talk to her,
it's still her decision
and none of our business.

Tomorrow.
And it's not a consultation.

I've already had
the consultation.

Tomorrow I'm going
to have the abortion.

You know, you still haven't
been for a ride in my car.

Wanna go for a ride
in my car?

I don't think so, Grace.

It feels like I've been
at school for about 36 hours,

and I just wanna go home.

I'll see you Monday.
We can hang out tomorrow.

No, I have something
I have to do with my mother.

You know, Amy's not at work,
and they can probably use
some help in the nursery.

Maybe the two of us could
go over there and help out.

I mean, we did talk Amy
into keeping John,

and we told her we'd help her,
and we haven't yet.

So now's the perfect chance.

Maybe the two of us could
go over there and volunteer
at the nursery this afternoon.

What?

[scoffs]

I know what
a baby looks like.

I don't need to see
a bunch of them
in the church nursery.

I can't have
this baby, okay?

I just can't, Grace.

And this wasn't
an easy decision for me,

but I've me the decision,
so leave me alone.

Bye.

All right, you two.
Let's just get our cards
out on the table.

We know that Adrian
is pregnant.

Okay.
So she's pregnant.

[together]
Oh, no!

I told you.
I can't believe it.

You tricked us.
Is she having the baby.

We can't tell you that.

You told us
the other part.

No, we didn't.
No, we did.

We just did.
Well, you did anyway.

Oh, this can't be happening.
I promised Jack
I wouldn't say anything.

I thought you knew,
I thought you knew,
I thought you knew.

You should've known.
You're his best friends.

I guess he considered it
private, personal business.

She's not having
the baby, is she?

[scoffs]
No.
Madison.

Well, if I told them
that she's having the baby,

they'd be expecting her
to have the baby.

All right. I'm cutting
everyone off right here,
right now.

We're not talking
about this ever again.

Oh, no. Poor Ben.

Poor Ben?
Poor Adrian.

Yeah, poor Adrian, too.
Poorer Adrian.

Everyone
is poorer than Ben.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know
what you mean.

And I know why
he didn't tell us,

and I have to say
I completely understand,

and I respect his decision
not to tell us.

If something like that
ever happened to us,

and I decided not to go through
with having the baby,

I wouldn't want you
to tell Ben or anyone else.

Two minutes ago,
you were asking.

Two minutes ago,
you were all for finding out.

Well, I made a mistake,
all right?

I wanted to know,
and now I wish I didn't know.

So what do we do?

We stay out of it.

If he wants to tell us,
he'll tell us, and we'll
be there for him.

But if he doesn't wanna tell us,
we're never gonna bring
it up again.

Not even between the two of us?
'Cause I may need to talk
about this, Alice.

Why is that?
If this ever happened to you,
you'd tell me, right?

Truthfully, I'm not sure.

And don't take that
the wrong way.

If you know,
you'd tell Ben,

and he'd tell Grace,
and she'd tell Jack,

and he'd tell Madison,

and even though
she wouldn't mean to,
she'd tell everyone.

Then we're just not going
to have sex again until
we're married.

I would tell you,
all right?

All right.

Don't threaten me again,

especially for
just being honest.

And I'm being honest when
I tell you I'd want to know.

Let's not get into any fights
about a hypothetical situation.

Okay, but maybe we should

talk about these hypothetical
situations some more.

Odds are,
as careful as we are,
it's never gonna happen.

If it does happen,

I want you to have the baby,

and I wanna get married.

Let's just see
that it doesn't happen.

I'm here for
a job interview.

Yes. So am I.

What kind of work
do you do?

I was a vice president
of a company

that was basically bribing
congressional members

to vote in such a way that would
increase our profit margin.

Interesting.

Don't know what it means,

but interesting.
[chuckles]

I was there for 28 years
till a scandal shut down
the company,

leaving me unemployed,

which is basically
why my wife left me.

Did you go to jail?

No. No.

I wasn't even
remotely involved.

Maybe remotely.

Uh, what, uh--
What job are you applying for?

Mail room.

Ah. Me, too.

My girlfriend is pregnant.

I need this job.

So is mine.

Look, kid,

you're not gonna get
the sympathy vote from me, okay?

'Cause I can match you
trouble for trouble.

Then may the best man win.

Let's go.

Bring it on, dawg.

I think I just need
to go home.

My mind is really not
on my work today.

You can't.
I've covered for you
enough lately.

Besides, what are you
gonna do at home?

There's nothing
you can do.

I know, but...
I don't wanna be here.

I don't wanna be at home.

I don't know
what I want...

other than for Amy
never to find out.

Is that why you're
going along with this?

Because you think you can
hide this from Amy?

You can't hide this
from Amy.

I mean, for all you know,
one day, when Adrian's temper
gets the best of her again,

she'll tell Amy.

Hey, if you're just
agreeing to an abortion

because you don't want anyone
to ever find out Adrian
was pregnant,

think again, my friend.

It's not gonna happen.
I'm not agreeing
to anything,

I don't think.

But you're for abortion,
right?

"For"?

I'm not for abortion.

But I'm not against abortion.

And what I'm really for

is the mom
and the dad deciding

before the baby is born.

It's better to decide
before you have the kid
than after.

My parents pretty much decided
I shouldn't have been born
after I was born.

Look, Ben, if you and Adrian
don't want Adrian to have
the baby

because you don't want
Amy to find out,

then that's probably
not a good reason,

if you're looking
for a reason.

We don't have a reason.

We just don't want a baby.

Neither of us wants a baby.

But I don't know if Adrian
having an abortion

is the right thing
or the wrong thing.

I honestly don't.
Stop judging, okay?

Just go with what is
and stop judging.

You don't know if something bad
will come of this,

or something good will come
of not going through
with the pregnancy.

I mean, maybe it's a future
Mother Teresa that's not
gonna be born,

or maybe it's a future Hitler
that's not gonna be born.

No one knows.
You can't know.

Well, what's
the right thing to do?

Support her decision
not to have the baby,

or try to talk her out of it?

Try to live with
whatever decision she makes.

All right?

Whatever is, is,
and life goes on.

Or it doesn't.

Hey, let me help you with that.

Big help.
I carry it from upstairs.

I think we should just
tell your mom
I'm living out here

in the guest house with you
until I find somewhere else.

And that way,
I can help you out.

That way,
she will get mad,

and you will get kicked out
of here, buddy.

Well, we're gonna have to
tell her I'm living out here
at some point.

You can't hide me forever.
Too soon.

My truck is parked
a block away in front
of someone else's house.

What if I get towed?
Don't worry.

I working at the courthouse.

Did you get the job?
Is it definite?

I just have to take a test.

An easy one.

[sniffs]

Hey, I can do that.

I just put
the boys to bed.

I got it. You cooked.
I'm happy to clean up.

No.
[chuckles]

I really appreciate you
staying here.

It's what Amy wants,
so I'm happy to do it.

It's really nice of you.

I really appreciate
you being here.

I think getting away
for a few weeks is gonna be
really great for Amy.

I didn't hear
from her today.

I'm sure she's busy
with her first day of school

and finding her way
around New York.

I hope she's okay.
I'm sure she's fine.

Who knows? This might lead
to her going to Juilliard

or maybe playing
for the New York Philharmonic.

I guess.

It's good, right?

You'd have to ask
a French horn player.
I just know sticks.

I don't even know why
she picked the French horn
in the first place.

I know.

You know why she picked
the French horn?

I hate to
bring up band camp,

but she told me the story
at band camp.

Well, John's over a year old.

I think we've gotten past
any resentment from band camp.

It was Peter and the Wolf.

You played
Peter and the Wolf to her
over and over again, right?

Yeah, I did.
The French horn plays
the part of the wolf.

Yeah. She was scared
of the wolf.

She thought
if she became the wolf,
she wouldn't be afraid anymore.

She thought that
in the third grade?

She thought that
in the third grade.

And she thought that
you loved the wolf part

of Peter and the Wolf best.

And she just wanted
you to love her.

But I do love her.
I've always loved her.

She knows that.
Well, she knows that now.

What are you eating?

I'm not sure.

Too frozen to tell,
but I think they're brownies.

So, you eating brownies.

I am doing
alt the heavy lifting.

Give me one of those.

Good, huh?
Mm-hmm.

I just wanted to offer
to go with you.

My mother's going with me.

I could drive us.
Actually, you can't.

You have
a provisional license.

My driver could drive us.

Um, all three of us--
or four, if my dad goes.

Dads aren't going--
mine or yours.

This is very private.

And I would hate
for everyone

to see your dad's car
and driver outside the clinic.

But thanks, Ben.
Thanks for offering.

Adrian, I don't know
what to do here.

I wanna do something.

There's nothing you can do

except maybe be my friend.

Maybe you can
come by on Sunday

and we can just hang out
or something.

I can't go with you?

I mean, shouldn't I
be there with you?

No, it's better if you're not.

I'll talk to you Sunday, okay?

Okay, Adrian.

Um, I'm sorry.

I know, Ben.

Me, too. Good night.

Good night.
[beeps]

[Ruben]
No means no.
I said no.

[Cindy]
You can say no all you want,

but Adrian already
made her decision,

and I'm supporting her.

Well, I'm not.

And I'm her father.
And I didn't come back

into this family
to be excluded
and disrespected.

This is not about you.
This is about Adrian.

Of course it's about Adrian.
I love Adrian.

And I don't want her
to do this.

I think she'll regret this
for the rest of her life.

This was not
an easy decision.

It was not easy,
but it was made easier
because you agreed with her.

That's not true.
I would support her decision
either way.

Did you let her know that?

Of course I did.

What the heck
is going on next door?

People are yelling.
People are saying things--

things that I could hear.
Oh?

Ashley, Adrian is pregnant,
isn't she?

I don't know.

Well, I don't know
if she's still pregnant.

Oh, God.
Does Ben know?

I don't think so.

I don't think she wanted him
to know anything about it.

But he might.

He might?
He might.

Did you know about this
when you encouraged

your sister to go to New York?
I don't really know
anything about it.

I don't wanna know
anything about it. It's--

You know, it's none
of my business.

It's no one's business.
No one's but Adrian's.

This is not good.
Just forget you heard anything.

How?
Okay, don't forget,

but don't say anything
to Mom.

You can't. We can't.
[sighs]

We made a promise
that our lying days are over.

You know, what good is it
gonna do to tell Mom

that Adrian's having an abortion
or had an abortion?

It's really not right
to talk about it at all.
To anyone.

[knocks]

Hi. Sorry to interrupt,
but the little fella's awake,

and I think Mrs. Juergens
is in the shower
or something.

Thanks, Ricky.
I'll take him.

Hey, buddy.

Whoa.

[sighs]

What's going on?
I don't know.

Yeah, you do.

Yeah, I do. Um...

but I don't want
to talk about it.

All right.

Well, I guess
I'll just say good night.

Should I say good night?

Tell me what's wrong.

Does it ever go right?

Does the right girl
ever find the right guy?

Sure.

Sure?

Yeah.

Sure. It can happen.

No, we can't.
We can't, Ashley.

- We can if we want.
- No, we can't.

Where is she?

I don't know.

She said she had to get out.

She couldn't take us
arguing anymore.

She'll be home tomorrow.

Tomorrow!

She's probably gonna try
and take care of this
on her own.

This is your fault,
you know that?

So you find her.

[ringing]

It's Grace.

Hang up.

I haven't answered yet.

Answer it, then hang up.

[beeps]
Hello.

Hi.

Hope I'm not bothering you.
Are you with Madison?

Am I with Madison?

No, I'm not with Madison.
Are you with Madison?

No. Why would I ask you

if you're with Madison
if I was with Madison?

I don't know.

I'm really worried
about Adrian,

and I'm worried
that if I don't say something,

I'm going to hell,
and you're going with me.

All right.

"All right"?
What is wrong with you?

I'm not sure.
I'll call you back.

[beeps]

Tom, who was the last guest
to stay in this guest house?

Gut house.

Guest house.

Guest of the guest house.
Guest of the guest house.

Shoo, fly, shoo.

Ow. My darlin'.

[chuckling]

Tom, I think we're high.

I think these are
marijuana brownies.

Better not be.

I have a drug test
on Monday at the courthouse.

That was the test--
the easy test?

[sighs]
It's not gonna be
so easy anymore.

I don't feel so well.

I don't feel well either.

Worst news for you,

there's only one bathroom.

[sighs]

Where you going?

To take Moose for a walk.

He already had a walk.

I think he needs
to go out again.
You sure?

Well, not totally sure.

Well, you could either
take Moose for a walk

or we could just
go to bed.

But we were in bed
just this morning.

Uh-huh.

It's either feast
or famine with you.

Are you complaining?
No, no, no, no, no.
Not complaining.

[beeping]

[ringing]

[beeps]

[beeping]

[ringing]
Hey, are you okay?

It's not Adrian.

It's me, Ruben.
Have you seen Adrian?

What do you mean?
I mean, is she over there?

No, she's not over here.

You'd tell me if she
was over there, right?

Even if she told you not to
tell me she was over there?

She's not over here,
I swear.

Okay.

Well, if you see her,
tell her to call me.

Or tell her
to call her mother.
All right.

[beeps]

[beeps]

[beeping]

[ringing]

Hello?

Adrian?
Um, no. It's just me.

I was trying
to call Adrian.

She left her phone at home.
I have her phone.

Oh, right.
Um, well, that makes sense.

Okay, well, um, I'm sorry.
I hope you find her.

Me, too, Ashley.

Good night.

[beeps]

inging]

[beeps]
Hello?

Oh. Hi, Grace.

It's me, Ruben,
Adrian's dad.

Is everything okay?
No, not really.

Adrian left us a note
saying she'd be back tomorrow,

and we don't know where she is.

And we're really
worried about her.
Is she there?

No. But maybe
she'll come here.

And if she does come here,
I'll have her call you
right away. I promise.

All right.

Thanks, Grace.

[beeps]

[ringing]

[beeps]

She left her phone at home.
That's how I have your number.

Okay. I'm sorry.

That's okay. Good night.

Good night.
[beeps]

I need help.

You haven't seen Adrian,
have you?

No.

I have a bad feeling
about this.

I have bad stomach.

Where's our new doctor dad?

He and Mom
already went to bed.

Of course.

What's wrong
with your stomach?

You're not a doctor.

Don't try doctor me.

[sniffs]
Ahh!

[scoffs]
[door closes]

I got cookies.

Cookies?

I got cookies.

Who are you talking to?

The gho-o-ost.

Is that Jack's bag?

That's Jack's gym bag,
isn't it?

No-o-o-o-o.

[phone ringing]
[Grace]
Is this where Jack is living?

In the guest house with you?
He's not here.

Are you sure about that?

He gave me a ride.

That his bag.

He leave it here,
but he's not here.

What's that?

Brownies. Have one.
Trick or treat.

What?
Go ahead.

[sniffing]

Where did you get these?

The freezer.
Ohhh.

I bet that homeless guy
left them here.

Remember that homeless guy
that Dad used to let stay here?

The one who was an alcoholic,
and he wouldn't go to AA
or anywhere else for help?

It's actually
kind of nice in here.

Why don't you sta-a-ay?

Maybe I wi-i-ill.

Maybe I'll just sleep here.

I don't really feel
like being alone.

And I can't quit thinking
about Adrian.

Hey, can you
give me your phone?

[beeping]

[phone ringing]

[beeps]
Tom?

It's Grace.
Who's this?
Ruben.

Oh. Right. Sorry.

I thought Adrian might answer
if Tom called,

so I called
using Tom's phone,

but you have
Adrian's phone.

I hate when other people
use other people's phones
to call.

But anyway,
I've been praying about this--

about Adrian--
and I have to believe

that everything
will be fine.

No matter where she is,
everything will be fine.

It has to be, Mr. Ruben.

Enriquez.

And Enriquez to you.

Good night.
[beeps]

[beeps]

Whose house is this?
Who is he cheating with?

I don't know.
But it's curfew.

We can't stay out here
all night.

How could he
do this to me?

Again, I don't know.

I shouldn't have given him
the cow for free.

I beg your pardon?
I thought he liked
getting the cow for free.

Okay, snap out of it.
You're not a cow.

You're a willing participant

in whatever it is you're doing,

and you are enjoying it
just as much as he is.

He's obviously not
enjoying it as much as I am,

or he wouldn't
be cheating on me.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

[beeps]
Hello?

Ruben?
Yeah?

Leo Boykewich.

I just wanted to let you know
that Adrian's over here.

I talked to her,
and I told her to call you,

but I got a feeling
she's not going to.

She left us a note that said
she'd be back in the morning.

Cindy and I are fighting,
and she got upset.

I don't want her
to have an abortion, Leo.

I don't know
what you're thinking.

I don't even care
what you're thinking,
or Cindy.

I don't want her to do this.

Can't you talk to Ben?

Can't he talk her out of it?

Wait. I forgot
who I'm talking to.

Why would he talk her out of it?
He doesn't want that baby.

It's not a matter
of what he wants,

it's a matter
of what she wants.

I know that's how
it should be.

But, Leo, please.

Do something.
Somebody do something.

Look, I'll see to it she gets
back to you safely tomorrow,

and that she goes from here
to there, all right?

Unless you want her
to come home right now.

Let her stay here.
e's with Ben.

I think it's good for them
to have some time together.

Haven't they spent
enough time together?

Come on, Ruben.
She's fine here.

All right.
I'm just happy she's safe.

- Me, too. Good night.
- Thanks. Good night.

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

It's your buddy,
Bristol.
Who?

We're on a buddy system here.
We're buddies.

Open the door.
I don't know
anything about that.

Are you Amy Juergens?
We have to get to class.

You missed orientation
yesterday.

Uh...

I couldn't find the school.

I came by yesterday morning
at 9 to go with you.
Oh, I was out by 7.

I left you a note
on the door last night,
but I see it's still there.

Yeah.
I went to bed early.

I was lost all day.

[chuckles]
Sorry.

All right.

Well, I'm just gonna
turn off my computer.

I was just gonna send
something to my family.

Do you have a son
or a daughter?

I have a son.
Me, too.

Um, how did you know
I had a baby?

[chuckles]
And you have a son?

We're all teen moms
and musicians.

Everyone in this program?
The program--
it's for teen moms.

So I didn't get here
on my own?

Of course you did.

You're the world's greatest
French horn player,
and I'm Yo-Yo Ma.

Come on.
We have to get going.

Bink.

[sighs]

You know what?

[sighs]
It's too early to talk.

Last night, Ricky told me
why Amy plays the French horn.

Because of Peter and the Wolf.

Remember Peter and the Wolf?

Yeah, I remember.

Kind of.

Well, that's why Amy
picked the French horn.

It's because she wanted
to get over being scared
of the wolf,

and she wanted me
to love her.

What time is it?

George, are you listening?

Yeah.

I'm really happy that Ricky
decided to stay here.

It'll give us a chance
to get to know him better.

I think he might be
a nice guy after all.

I know that Amy's in love
with Ben right now.

But you never know.

They're young.
Things might change.

Yeah. Things may change,
all right.

[ringing]

[beeps]
Hello.

Where are you?

Um, in the shower.

Can I call you back?

No. And I don't hear
any water running.
I'll call you back.

I was parked behind
your stupid truck
for two hours last night.

Why?
Well, because I was driving
over to Lauren's house,

and I saw your car parked
in front of some girl's house.

What girl?
What do you mean,
"What girl?"

Look, you're not
gonna be happy with this.

[sighs]
Oh, no.

Madison, I'm living with Tom
at the Bowman's guest house.

No, you're not.

What?

I'll call you back.
[beeps]

[sighs]

Oh, my head.

You can't live here.
Why not?

Because my mom already said
you can't live with us,

and when she finds out
you gave Tom pot brownies,

she's probably gonna
have you arrested.

I didn't know, all right?
They were in the freezer.

So was the ice.
You didn't eat that.
What?

Just get up, okay? Get out.
You cannot stay here.

I have to stay here, Grace.
I have no place else to go.

[chuckles]
You're pathetic,
do you know that?

Yeah, I know that.

[groaning]

[exhales forcefully]

Come on. I really need
somewhere to live.

And Tom needs someone
to live with and...

So will you just help me out
and not say anything
for a few more days?

[sighs]
Well, I guess.

I mean, this was
kind of my dad's hideout,

and I know he would
want this for Tom,

so I won't say anything
to my mom for a few days.

But no more pot brownies
or any other illegal substance.

Got it.

Let's just forget
that happened.

Let's not.

All right.

You could've told us
before now.

I wouldn't have told you now,
but I need to talk to someone.

I can't talk to my dad anymore.
I just can't.

You must be going through hell,
and Adrian, too.

I'm really sorry
you're going through this.

It's more Adrian.

Adrian's
going through this.

Are you gonna go with her?
She doesn't want me
to be there.

She probably just doesn't
wanna ask you to be there.

And you two,
this is not something
that goes beyond this room.

Got it?
[both]
Got it.

I'm gonna go hang out
with Ruben.

Well, he's by himself
with no one to talk to.

Wanna come with me?

Me? No.

You want me to tell you again
where I think you should be
today?

Please don't.

I think I'm doing
the right thing
by just staying here.

All right.

I'll be back later.
You know when.

Whoa, dude.
Bad move calling us over here.

You better get to wherever
Adrian and her mom are.

I don't know about that.
I don't know that
I'd want company.

That could be part
of our hypothetical discussion.

But, Ben, my friend,
this is not hypothetical.

If Adrian's dad's not going

and her mom's just sitting
there by herself--

I don't know--
shouldn't you go?

There is no good decision.

Neither choice
is a good choice.

You're right.
And that's where Adrian is.

She had to make a choice,
and neither one probably
felt like a good one.

All I could do
is just be there.

Exactly.

Okay, Ruben,
we'll see you later.

All right.

I'll see you later, Adrian.
I love you.

Really?

Of course.
I'm your dad.

And even though
I don't want you to do this,

you and your mother are right.

This is your decision.

Just...feel free
to change your mind.

I had to say it.

And I have to say this, too.

I love you, Cindy,

and you've been
a really good mother to Adrian.

So, if I said anything
that implied otherwise,

I'm really sorry.

And I guess being a family

doesn't necessarily mean
we have to agree on everything,

not even the most basic
fundamental things.

And, uh, do you want me
to come with you?

No, but thanks, Dad.

I love you, too.
