The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 10 - 4-1-1 - full transcript
Previously on The Secret Life
of the American Teenager...
Now, you've made
a lot of positive changes
in the past
couple of months.
And the next
positive change is
that I want to
get pregnant again.
You're trying to have a
baby to save a marriage
that you never really
wanted in the first place.
I just want some time
alone with my husband.
But we don't have room for her.
Where would she sleep?
We can all stay
at my parents' house.
I would like you to go
ahead, and move out.
And what if you had
gotten pregnant again?
I know.
You and I, we're not
friends anymore. Fine.
Look, I know what you're here for.
What am I here for?
And you know what, you can't have him.
Just check his phone.
Adrian is still in love
with Ricky.
I feel a little relieved.
Well, would you feel
relieved if we split up?
Maybe I could rent
Ashley's room from you.
Maybe I could live here.
Are you hiding something?
I'm not hiding anything.
Which doesn't mean that you don't
have messages from Adrian.
Either you trust me,
or you don't.
Aren't you bored just talking to?
Good night, Ricky.
What are you doing?
It's been a week.
A whole week.
It may be longer. I don't want to
be with someone who can't trust me.
I thought you trusted me.
I do trust you. I do!
That's why
I stood up for you,
I stood up for you when Karlee accused
you of trying to sleep with her.
And yet, you didn't
trust me enough
to know that if I have
messages from Adrian,
they don't mean anything, they
don't mean anything at all.
They were meant to be a record so if
you ever questioned why she called,
or what she said
or anything else,
I'd have some evidence
that I've done nothing.
Did you see that I didn't
reply to any of that stuff?
Ricky, please? Please just let
me come back to the apartment.
I'll see you at school.
No, I can't take it anymore, I can't.
I just can't.
I don't think
I can come to school.
Dad's taking John
to the nursery.
Someone's at my door.
I have to go.
Who is it, Adrian?
If it is Adrian, I didn't
invite her over here.
Tell you what, hold on,
and I'll tell you.
It's not Adrian.
No, it's not Adrian,
it's me.
Long time.
How'd you find me?
Phone app.
Find Ricky. It's new.
And why'd you
want to find me?
I think I might be
getting arrested.
Arrested for what, then?
You better not be
doing drugs or drinking.
'Cause if you're
doing that stuff,
I can't help you.
I won't help you.
No, that's not
the problem.
Oh, God.
Sex with an underage girl?
I'm underage.
And, no, it wasn't that.
What is it?
I don't have a lot of time here,
and I've got
problems of my own.
I sent a picture of my girlfriend
out to everyone on my phone list.
What's wrong with sending a
picture of your girlfriend
to everyone
on your phone list?
She was in
a state of undress.
Huh? She didn't have
any clothes on. Any.
Why would you share
a picture like that?
She's hot. And she broke up
with me, and I was angry.
That was a really stupid thing to do.
For her.
For you. Those kind of photos get
out there, you can't get them back.
Any time anyone puts her name
into a computer in the future,
that photo you sent out
could pop up
when she applies to college,
or for a job, or...
This is serious.
Yeah, I realize that.
Her father already had it out for me.
Oh geez, Ethan.
I know, I know.
So can you help me out?
You gotta be
over 18 now,
you could be
responsible for me.
And I got to get someone to
be responsible for me, and...
This is a nice place.
Uh-uh.
I can't. I have a son.
I'm sure you've heard.
I had a baby with my girlfriend.
They live here.
They live here? Doesn't look
like they live here. You sure?
Yeah, go in the other room, there
are toys and a bed, and...
It wouldn't matter, I can't
be responsible for you.
I don't think the authorities would
even let me, and I just can't.
I have to take care of Amy and John, and
I'm going to college next year, and...
Man, whatever.
Don't worry about it.
Just go with me to turn myself
in, that's all I'm asking.
That's all, huh?
I'll go with you, okay? I just
have to make a phone call first.
I'm gonna call my mom and
see if she can do anything.
Did you have breakfast?
No, I haven't had breakfast,
not for most of my life.
Been there.
I'll get you something.
Yeah.
No, we're fine with
you staying here,
if that's okay with George,
it's okay with us.
You look strange.
You look happy.
I am happy.
No, you're not
a happy person.
Not normally. Normally,
you're very serious.
Maybe you're getting
sick or something.
No, I'm not
sick or something.
And, yeah,
sometimes I am serious,
but I am a happy person.
When?
When I'm not dealing with
other people's problems,
when I can just relax and
enjoy my husband and my home.
Nah, that's not it.
I'm going with sick or something.
Or maybe you're getting that empty-nest
syndrome women your age get.
Women my age, huh? Well, if I got
anything, it's whatever the opposite
of the empty-nest
syndrome is.
You gonna answer that?
Ricky.
Oh, I'm not talking to him.
Why not?
'Cause he's not being
very nice to Amy.
Are you not being
very nice to Amy?
Who told you that?
How many times do
I have to say it?
I'm being nice,
and I'm going to be nicer.
I'm going to talk to her
when I get to school.
But before I can get to school,
I have one little problem.
Remember that kid who lived
with us for a while?
Ethan? The one that
everyone is looking for,
because of that sexting incident?
Is he there?
He's not here, but I
could probably find him.
I owe you.
Ricky, don't get caught up in
this mess. He is in serious trouble.
Now if you know where he
is, you better tell me.
And get your ass over here and talk
to Amy. She's been crying for days.
What is that about?
They broke up.

So, according to the prenup,
you don't own the place,
but my dad says that
you're out of college.
Cable, utilities,
all that stuff included.
That's not
in the prenup.
I know, but my dad's feeling
very generous right now,
and he knows that you'll be
starting college in the fall,
and you can keep it, and everything in it
until you graduate.
That's what he said.
Wow. Uh...
Do I have to give
you the ring back?
No, you might want to move it
to the other hand,
but, uh, no.
Keep the ring.
So, friends?
Sure.
Even friends with benefits,
if you want.
That's, uh, not an offer
I had anticipated,
what with
with Ricky and all.
But again, I loved you.
And I loved you.
So...
Who knows? Maybe some day
I'll take you up on that.
How about today?
We have to go to school.
Come on, why would
you do that?
You're in love with Ricky.
Because we're friends,
and we're still married.
We're married friends.
So?
One for the road?
I can't.
We shouldn't.
Ah, why not?
Amy, come on,
you have to go to school.
Why do I have
to miss school.
I can miss one day of school.
I can't go to school
like this.
Dad, I have been to school
every single day this week
just to try to
talk to Ricky,
and he still won't
talk to me, not really.
He just wants more time
and more time.
I screwed
everything up, Dad.
You screwed
everything up?
He's been hiding the fact that
Adrian's been calling him.
He screwed
everything up.
No, I had no right to check
his phone messages.
No, you didn't,
but everyone does it.
Everyone like who?
I don't know.
Doesn't everyone?
Do you?
Do I what?
Do you sneak around and do you
listen to my phone messages,
and Mom's and Ashley's?
Your mom and your sister
aren't even here.
You're not saying...
What? I pay the bill.
Dad, I can't believe that you've
been listening to my phone messages!
No, I haven't.
I don't know the password.
But I mean the
text messages and emails,
they're right there
on the phone.
It hasn't happened
that many times.
And, hey, you don't think Ricky
has ever checked your phone?
Are you kidding?
You think he hasn't done the
exact same thing you did?
Why wouldn't he?
Why would he? There's nothing on my
phone he'd be interested in.
Besides, he's not
that kind of person.
Yes, he is. Anyone can be that kind of
person under the wrong circumstances,
or right... Whatever.
No, not Ricky,
he wouldn't do that.
Well, yes, he would do that.
He probably did do that. Ask him.
No! He's already angry enough at me
without making him angrier.
I'll ask him.
You go to school,
I'll ask him.
Why does anyone even have
emails or texts you wouldn't
want anyone to look at?
You know what they call emails and
texts in a courtroom? Evidence.
Yeah.
Found out the hard way.
Sure you don't want to take a
quick look just for reference?
No. I don't.
How old is she?
Sixteen.
How old are you?
Fourteen,
but I'll be 15.
I'll be in high school
next year, I hope.
How long was this girl
your girlfriend?
Three weeks.
Oh, geez. She sent you
a picture like that when
you'd only been
together three weeks?
She sent it to me
the first week.
You know, it's a status thing
to have a picture like that.
She sent it to me
showing it to guys.
Did she know you were
sending it to guys?
I wasn't.
broke up with me.
I was offended,
you know?
You need some help.
That's what I'm here for.
Some professional help.
As much as you get around,
you're like a professional.
No, I'm not. And I've changed
a lot since you saw me.
When did you last see me?
Three years?
What happened? Why'd you leave
our house? Refresh my memory.
I stole something from the
house, a set of knives.
Not steak knives, scalpels.
They belonged to the doctor.
Oh, yeah,
I remember, antiques.
What were you going
to do with scalpels?
Are you kidding?
They were beautiful.
I got hundred bucks
for them on the street.
And what did you do
with the hundred bucks?
Sneakers.
They're gonna put
me in jail this time.
You know they are.
I don't know anything other than
you have to turn yourself in.
If the cops are looking for you,
you have to turn yourself in.
And you're still under 18, so,
hopefully, they won't put you in jail.
Why aren't you at school?
Why aren't you at school?
I have a situation
I have to take care of.
Oh, and what is that?
Sorry.
Get out here.
Hey, she's hot.
Hey, wait up.
I want to
apologize, okay?
I admit I did call Grant and
Jack just to make you crazy.
And I apologize.
Well, at least you
didn't call Daniel.
You didn't call Daniel?
How did you even find him?
He's listed, geez.
You would do that?
You would go after my new boyfriend?
Well, there wasn't much point in
going after your old boyfriends,
you don't really
care about them.
And they turned me down.
Good.
But I care about you, and I care
that you're just trying to hurt me.
You told Amy that I was
trying to seduce Ben.
That I was trying to trick him
into getting me pregnant.
Yeah, well, you are,
or you were.
No, I'm not.
And Ben and I are
just friends now.
Yeah, because now
you want Ricky back.
And you told
Amy that, too.
So what? You don't even care that
Amy has tried to be your friend.
You're going after
Ricky anyway.
I think that's horrible, Adrian,
that's really horrible.
They have a son.
Hey, hey, they broke up,
he's fair game.
If not me,
it'll be someone else.
What are you talking about?
They didn't break up.
Where'd you hear that?
From Ricky.
So you're talking to
Ricky?
I talked to Ricky, yes.
And, Amy is no longer
at the apartment.
Well, that makes
me sad, really sad.
It looked like everything was
going to work out for them.
Yeah, it almost never does when two
teenagers have a baby together.
But it could. It could if their friends
and family supported them, maybe.
And that's the right thing
to do, don't you think?
To support Amy and Ricky being together
as opposed to trying to break them up?
I mean, it's difficult enough for them,
already, I'm sure, without someone
intentionally trying
to break them up.
You don't want to do
that, Adrian.
You're really not that
type of person, are you?
Maybe I am.
'Cause, well, thinking about
being with him makes me happy.
Yeah, but other things, other,
guys, could make you really happy
if you're ready for that.
Look, if I could get you a really,
really hot date, would you go out then?
I mean, you and Ben, you're
not divorced yet, right?
But do you guys have, like, a
agreement about that sort of thing?
You're going to get
me a really hot date?
Yes, Daniel has
friends, you know.
And a really cute
one that lives upstairs.
Does he look like Daniel?
Yeah.
Then I'd definitely
be interested.
Hey, Grace.
Help.
What kind of help
did you need?
Well, first of all, I need you
to always be honest with me
and tell me when
Adrian calls you.
It's not something that I
wanted to text you about,
and I haven't seen
you to tell you.
Good excuse.
Grace, I've had
finals all week.
I'm a little crazy right
now.
If it ever happens again, which I doubt
that it will because I've blocked
her from my phone, I will tell you.
I'll text you right away.
Really? You blocked her?
I blocked her.
Well, you still should have told me and
since you didn't maybe you owe me?
I don't know if I owe you,
but what'd you have in mind?
Okay, we need to find
Adrian a date.
Isn't she married?
No.
Yes, she is.
Not really, no.
What does that mean?
It means they're getting a divorce
and they have an agreement.
Okay, well, still, I don't
want to play matchmaker.
We have to find
Adrian a date.
Otherwise, she's going
to go after Ricky
and she's going to get hurt,
and I don't want that.
I'm her friend, or I'm
trying to be her friend.
Who would I fix her up
with?
That guy upstairs.
What guy upstairs?
There are 50 guys upstairs.
Oh, no. No.
No. No, no, no.
He's a player.
A girl who just lost
a baby and is getting
a divorce does not
need a player.
She really doesn't even need
to be dating, does she?
Well, she can handle a player,
she dated Ricky for years.
I so don't want
to be involved in this.
You're the one who told me
to try to be her friend.
I'm trying to be her
friend.
I'm trying not
to be her friend.
Please?
But Jesse is graduating
in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, but I'm going
to graduation
and all that other stuff
that graduates do.
But he'll be going
away to school.
He's coming back
here on the weekends,
or I'll go there
on the weekends.
I wish you would
have told me that
you still wanted to get
back together with him.
I've always wanted to get
back together with him.
Yeah, but you
didn't say anything.
And I broke up with Jack.
That has nothing to do
with me and Jesse.
Yes, it does.
I would have just hung in there for a
couple of weeks until school was over
and we could have done all
the senior stuff together.
Jack broke up with you.
Yes, but I accepted.
I wouldn't have accepted.
Accepted what?
Oh, hey, Amy,
how are you?
Hey, we looked for you when we
got to school this morning.
Yeah, I'm a little late,
I just got here.
Are you okay?
Um, no, not really.
I went by Ricky's apartment
to see if we could talk,
but there was
some kid over there,
and he obviously cared more
about talking to him right now.
Whose kid?
Yeah, whose kid?
Does he have another kid?
No, no, no, no, no.
Just some kid who lived with him
when he was at his mother's house.
His mother had other foster kids in
and out while Ricky was living there,
and this one
just showed up.
I wasn't even going to come in today
but I do want to talk to him.
I want to ask him
something.
If I can even get
him to talk to me.
Do you guys think that Ricky's
ever looked through my phone?
Ever checked my text messages or
emails or anything like that?
Yes.
What?
Everybody does it.
And you're living
together.
So, unless you've had your phone in your
possession every moment of every day,
then I'm sure he has.
Do you do that?
Either of you?
Have you ever looked through
your boyfriend's phone
without them
knowing about it?
No. But Jesse and I
trust each other.
Oh, come on.
I've looked through
Jason's.
You never looked
through Ashley's?
No.
You looked through
Jack's phone?
Well, yes, and it wasn't
always easy, either.
It was usually when he'd run into
some fast food place or something
and leave it in the car.
You're kidding me.
Did you find anything
that, like, bothered you?
No, he just sends
really dumb texts.
Any texts to Grace?
Yeah.
The dumbest texts of all.
But the thing is,
if you look at his
texts or emails,
you can't say anything.
No.
Yeah, you have to come
up with some other way
that you got the information
that you sneaked around to get,
or at least say that
you got it somewherelse.
Yeah, I'm really careful with
what I say in my texts or emails,
especially after that
mis-mail to my dad that time.
Am I the only one here
who feels guilty
about looking through someone's
phone that's not mine?
Probably.
But you are a good girl.
Yeah. Always have been.
I'm a teenage mother.
Yeah, I bet that happens
mostly to good girls.
Oh, hi, Amy.
Girls.
Hey, Adrian.
I was looking for you.
I heard about you and
Ricky.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Yeah, you do.
So how long have you
been out, a week now?
Just for your information,
Ricky has a kid who needed
some help staying with him.
He's not interested
in you anyway,
whether I'm there or not.
He might be.
Especially when he
hears I'm dating again.
What? Come on.
What do you mean?
You're dating your
husband again?
You're going out
with Ben again?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Not Ben. Other guys.
Guys that Ricky
would be jealous of.
Guys that are in college.
Guys that Grace's boyfriend
thinks I should meet.
You know, so I can
get out of high school,
and try out a whole
new playing field.
Oh, uh, by the way,
you listened to my
phone messages?
So what? You never listened to
any of Ben's phone messages?
Never checked any of his
text messages or emails?
Of course not.
You're lying.
I think.
Well, we'll never
know, will we?
Because if I ever did do something so
unscrupulous as to check Ben's phone,
well, I definitely
didn't get caught.
It's child pornography?
Child pornography?
You saw the picture.
She's a minor.
She's a child.
She's my child,
and you sent around
pictures of her, naked.
She's 16.
She knew what she was doing
when she sent me that picture.
So you didn't take
the picture?
Who took the picture?
She took the picture.
So anyway, the problem
is that you forwarded the photo.
That's distributing
child pornography.
Again, she is not a child.
She is not, sir.
And she doesn't even care
that I sent it around.
I mean, yeah, other guys'
girlfriends have gotten upset,
but they're not like her.
Are you kidding me?
She's devastated.
She's devastated you saw
it and found out about it.
She wanted me to...
Okay, maybe not wanted,
but she doesn't care if
people see the photo.
She considers it art.
Oh, my...
And she's very...
You know,
she has a lot of...
Confidence.
Okay, look, you little loser,
you can't send naked pictures of my
daughter around to half the school
and not go to jail for it.
Uh...
Ethan, you want
to step back outside?
Certainly.
What happened to the dude?
The dude...
...is in school.
I sent him back to school.
You're still telling
him what to do?
He's 18.
I'm going to be telling him
what to do until he's 40.
Maybe longer.
Lucky him.
So you tired of
getting in trouble yet?
You know, I don't know
what the big deal is.
The big deal is you
broke the law again.
Let me ask you something.
Were those new sneakers worth
getting taken out of our house?
No.
Guy stole 'em from
me two weeks later.
They actually let you
have your phone back?
You're back up.
Let's go.
Um...
Do you ever
pick up your kids' phones and
check out the messages on them?
Who's asking, you, or did
one of my kids complain?
No, it's me. It's just me.
I just know someone
that that happened to.
Is that why those
two are upset?
He got nosy with her
phone?
No, the other way around.
Oh, geez.
Oh, let me guess.
Messages from Adrian?
Yeah. And Amy got
caught listening to them.
How'd she get the
password?
It was "John."
They all pick stupid
passwords, if left to themselves.
My daughters and
I have an agreement.
I have full access to
anything on their phones
and the passwords
to check the phones.
And once a week
I do check them.
Never on the same day,
never the same time.
Cuts down on any
of the phone crap.
Have you ever seen
pictures of my daughters?
No.
There's a reason for that.
What's the reason?
They're hot.
And they don't need to be advertised
around this joint with the two hounds
I'm sorry.
I forgot that one
of them is your son.
So, you have
hot daughters, huh?
Like that's a surprise.
It's a blessing
and a curse.
I have got them in
all-girls private schools
and I'm going to keep them in
an all-girls private school
until they've got PhDs.
That's gonna make
'em gay, you know.
I'm kidding.
Not that I would mind.
I might prefer that.
Cut down on the chance for some
guy to do something stupid
and get one of them...
Again, I'm sorry.
Oh, apology accepted.
I know it's not the best thing that
happened to Ricky and Amy and John,
but it's not like nothing
good came of it.
Ladies.
Oh. Hi.
Right, I haven't seen you since
I fired you from the office.
Sorry about that, Bunny.
And what about me?
You I have to talk to.
Because?
I guess folks
are going to know.
Betty and I are splitting
up.
Oh, what happened?
She wants
to go to college.
Oh, you're not joking.
No, I'm not.
And that would break up two people if
one of them wanted to go to college?
It just didn't work out. We decided
we'll be happier not married,
and that's that.
It's nobody's business.
No one asked, you volunteered.
I mean, just for the record.
Just in case you want to use that to fire
me from here or, you know, anything.
I, on the other hand,
never hold a grudge.
I completely and totally
understand why I got fired.
And why is that?
Can't be trusted.
Can't be trusted staying sober,
can't be trusted with
anything else. No?
Well, yeah, but that's what
I imagine you're thinking.
That's not what I'm thinking.
What I'm thinking is that
everyone deserves
a second chance, everyone.
What about Bunny?
No.
Oh, well, actually, I think
this would be my third chance,
my second chance
was being here.
Okay, a third chance.
I want you back.
I don't deserve
a third chance.
I'll take it.
Hey.
Hey, um,
I want to talk to you,
but I have to go to the
counselor's office immediately.
I don't know what she wants, but she
said immediately, so I have to go.
No, you don't. I got that Joe guy
to give your teacher the note.
It cost me 20 bucks.
Really? So I don't have to go...
No.
I just got here
and I felt bad that
you dropped by and I had
something else going on,
but maybe you shouldn't
have dropped by.
I told you I'd talk to
you when I saw you.
Yet you have time
to talk to Adrian.
At least that's
what she says.
I did talk to her, Amy.
I told her what happened,
and I asked her to please not
call, or text, or email me again.
Oh, so she texts you
and emails you, too?
She's not just calling and
leaving you seductive messages?
You thought she'd call
but not text or email?
No one emails!
Whatever. She won't do
any of that stuff again,
not that that
resolves our issues.
Yes, she will, she's
not going to give up.
You know, she's even going to try to
make you jealous by going out on a date.
I know,
she texted me.
If I don't respond,
eventually she'll stop.
And have you responded?
I can't stop her.
I can only stop myself.
And I don't care who
she's going out with.
I mean, who's she
going out with? Ben?
No. Someone new.
Somebody that Grace's new boyfriend
is fixing her up with.
I saw that.
Saw what?
It does bother you.
You're going to go there again
after what I just said?
Are you ever going to believe me when
I say I'm not interested in Adrian,
or are you always going to be sneaking
around to see if you can catch me
picking up my phone or listening
in on my conversations
and all that stuff.
Let me ask
you something, Ricky.
You ever pick up my phone, check
my messages, my emails, my texts?
Aha! So you've done the same thing
to me that I've done to you
only you
didn't get caught.
And there's nothing on my phone
that would even bother you.
See, this is what
I'm talking about.
We just can't trust each other.
Why even try?
This isn't what I wanted
to be doing tonight.
Well, she's on
the way over, so...
So what? I just got finished
with my last final,
and I was just going to see if you
want to come over and celebrate.
Sure. But the more,
the merrier, right?
Grace, come on. Tell her I couldn't
get in touch with him,
tell her he has
a girlfriend or something.
But that would be a lie.
Well, kind of. Come on,
I promise. I'll find her a date.
No. It has to be the date I found.
It has to be...
What's his name?
Dante?
Yes, Dante.
Just come over, we'll talk
about it, we'll talk to him,
see if he's even interested and
we can get a little alone time.
Okay.
Okay, then.
I'll just ask Adrian to drop me
off so you can drive me home.
And if he happens to be at your
apartment when she drops me off, then,
that would be great.
It's T-bone. He'll come over for that.
You can thank me later.
Wait, what? No.
I don't want him to come over.
You've been wanting him
to come over all week.
Nora brought home steaks
from the butcher shop
so you would have
a reason to call him.
Call him.
Come on, Ames,
I'm doing this for you.
No, you're not.
You're doing this
so I won't be annoyed with
you for looking at my phone.
I'm not gonna call him.
He has looked at your phone,
hasn't he? You asked him?
Yeah, I asked him,
and no, he hasn't,
so thanks for the
suggestion.
Oh, he's just not admitting it.
I'm going to call him.
You may not be crying
now, but I know you,
and there's going to be crying until
we get this whole thing wrapped up,
so just call him.
By the way, did you tell Mom
that Nora is living here
or am I just supposed
to be hiding that?
Why would I tell Mom
that Nora is living here?
Because she owns the
house.
I have the house until you and
Ashley graduate high school,
and I'm done raising you.
There better be something funny
in that textbook, young lady.
There isn't.
Then what's so funny, that
I'm raising you and Ashley?
Dad, do you even know
where Ashley is?
Yes, I know
where Ashley is.
I talk to her every day.
And we text.
We text and text and text.
You can check my phone.
And where is she?
She's in Florida.
No, I knew that, I meant
where is she tonight?
She and her friend are
starting a new job tonight.
Uh-huh.
What kind of job?
Some sort of
medical assistant.
Yeah, what is Ashley qualified to
assist with in the medical field?
I don't know, I didn't hire her,
but she's a very smart girl.
Mmm-hmm. Smart enough
to get out of this house.
I thought
you liked the house.
You liked the house when
it was you and Ricky here.
What is it you don't
like about it now?
Oh, of course, me.
I've gotten that before.
Ashley, this experimental
test program is for people
who have depression.
I'm not depressed.
I've been
depressed before.
You're jaded,
not depressed.
Well, they're paying $500.
I could be depressed for $500.
I guess I could be, too.
Let's at least find out
what it's about.
"This medication could
cause irregular heartbeat,
"liver failure or could
even result in death..."
I'm out.
Feeling better.
Ta-da!
We walked
all around the block.
I mean, the entire block.
And John let me
hold his hand... Well...
Hey, buddy.
It's been such a good day for me.
I'm so happy.
I've got a place to live
and a new job,
and you and John,
and your dad,
and Ricky.
Can't we call Ricky?
Can't we please, Amy?
Hi, Daddy.
No, no! He doesn't trust me
and I don't trust him, and...
Everyone deserves
a second chance.
Or even a third.
That's what Leo says.
Even if I call Ricky, it doesn't
mean he's going to come over here.
You won't know
until you try.
Why don't you call him?
It's your celebration.
I don't want
to wait outside,
I don't want to
play games, okay?
Hey, John,
good to see you, buddy.
Why don't you get Grandma to
play with you and Moose outside?
Okay.
I lied.
I've looked at your phone before.
A couple of times.
Not that it was worth
compromising my integrity for
by looking at it
or lying about it.
But I guess we were both wrong
not to trust each other.
I just don't know how we do that if
we really don't trust each other.
You don't trust me?
That's just an excuse for not
wanting to be with me, Ricky.
You know you can trust me.
You know what?
You can just go home, okay?
You don't get a T-bone steak
for this conversation.
You can go home, and you can try and
figure out how we can live together,
and still not be perfect.
Good night.
Oh, no,
I'm getting a steak.
I might eat it outside,
but I'm getting a steak.
So?
So it went nowhere.
She wants me to go home.
But I'm hungry.
And you invited me to eat,
so I'm eating,
then I'll leave.
You know what
the problem is?
The problem is
you're not married.
Oh, yeah? Well, maybe your
problem is you're not married.
Both parties have to want to
be married to be married.
My ex-wife does not
want to be married.
Does your girlfriend
want to be married?
Do you want to be married?
I just want to eat.
Yes. Just not now.
I know, I know.
Well...
There's always going to be children
who need your help,
and you're always going to want
to help them, so...
What can I say?
Well, you can say no.
I can even say no.
Since when, Margaret?
You're you.
Should we go get him?
Well, we can't
just go and get him.
Unfortunately,
he has to go to court.
Until then,
he's gonna be in juvie.
Now, Ruben's trying
to work a deal.
This is a serious offense,
you can't send just go
sending naked pictures
of people around,
unless you're
both over 18,
and then apparently
it's not a legal issue.
But it should be.
Maybe, maybe not.
You text me a picture and
I'll text you one.
Is that a yes?
Nice ring.
Oh, yeah.
It was my engagement ring.
Oh, no.
What, you're engaged?
Well, right now, I'm
married.
Interesting.
Yeah, he just moved out.
But you're still married?
Yeah.
Well, we're getting a divorce.
So, you...
Don't have children.
You guys want
something to eat or...
You're still in
high school, right?
Yeah, but I'm a year
older than Grace.
I'm graduating
after summer school
and then
I'm going to college.
So why the divorce?
Well, I'm kind of in love
with my old boyfriend,
but he and this girl
had a baby
and they were
living together,
but they just split up and I think I
might want to try being with him again.
Uh-huh.
Maybe we should have given
them both a list of topics.
I don't think she
actually dated that much.
You know what,
I like your honesty.
I really do.
But if you're trying to get
back with your old boyfriend,
what are you
doing here with me?
Uh, I don't know.
I thought it would
make him jealous,
and I was curious.
About?
About whether or not Grace
actually knows any hot guys,
besides that one.
You know you can tell what
a person thinks about you
by who they try
to fix you up with?
You think so?
Yeah, I think so.
All right, well, um,
what do you think
people think about you?
Well, they think
I'm good looking,
because you're good looking.
Hmm?
And they think I'm smart,
because you're smart,
and they think I'm sexy,
because, uh,
well, you are sexy.
You know what, your
self-esteem is pretty high
for someone going through a
divorce so early in life.
Yeah, it is.
That's why even though my old boyfriend
and this girl have a baby together,
I still think
I can get him back.
Not that I'm totally sure
I want him back.
She'd take him away
from Amy just to see?
We're trying to have
a conversation here.
So, what's your story?
Well, I've been
married three times
and I got nine kids.
Really?
No, I'm playing.
I don't have nine kids.
I was just trying
to top your story.
Oh, yeah,
that's difficult to do.
Yeah. Uh, no, actually, I'm
a sophomore in college,
my brother's a senior.
We live upstairs and I
got a full scholarship.
The wildest thing
I've ever done?
I don't know,
a couple of tattoos.
Oh, I'd like
to get a tattoo.
Tonight?
No!
No, I don't even have one picked
out yet, or a place to get it.
Oh, 'cause, I an, I was going
to take you to my guy.
He does some really,
really good work.
Oh, um, when I said
I don't have a place,
uh, I meant on me.
I don't know
where I'd put one.
Oh, uh,
well, uh, how about
we get up out of here,
so I can get a better look
at the canvas, huh?
All right.
You guys,
tattoos last a lifetime!
Nice work, Grace.
At least it'll keep her
away from Ricky.
Amy and Ricky
got into a big fight.
Amy checked his phone out
and he caught her.
Really? You can check
my phone out any time you want.
No, it's okay,
I trust you.
Do you?
Or do you just not want
me to see your phone?
No!
No, you can see my phone,
if you really want to.
It's okay with me.
It's no one.
Tell no one I said hi.
It's Ethan. He's stuck in some juvie
hall room with some other idiot.
All right, can we just
talk about this?
Yeah, I've been trying to
talk to you for a week now.
Yeah, I let this go on
way too long because,
Amy, all my life,
no one has trusted me,
and all my life
I wasn't trustworthy.
I think I've earned
the right to be trusted.
It would be easier for
me to trust you, Ricky,
if you had just said, "Hey, you
want to listen to this message
"I just got from Adrian?"
instead of not saying anything or
saying you had listened to it,
and then you erased it.
That was a lie.
Yeah, I guess it was.
And I shouldn't
have talked to her at all.
I should have told you
when I heard from her
and when I called her
back to talk to her.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
And hello, you've lied to me
before and I still trust you.
That was different.
How was it different?
I don't know.
Let me tell you.
Because it was different.
Again, no one has ever
trusted me, other than you,
so when I got busted,
I felt humiliated,
and I hated myself for letting
you down and I felt unworthy,
and I just
couldn't say that.
It was easier to be angry.
I'm very comfortable angry
and being the victim.
It's a lifelong process
to change that.
Again, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
And thank you for telling
me that, for apologizing.
Can we please, please go back
to the apartment now? Please?
Ethan.
Just wanted to thank me.
Ethan again?
Oh, my God.
Wait, is this the photo that
he got in trouble with?
No, it's Adrian showing me where
she's going to get a tattoo.
Okay, sooner or later, we've got to
get a sense of humor about Adrian.
What's funny about her constantly,
relentlessly, trying to break us up?
You left out nakedly.
She's crazy,
you know that?
I know that.
And I'm all done with crazy.
You know
I can be crazy too,
if that's what you want,
if that's what you like.
I can.
If you're no
done with crazy,
let me be crazy for you,
don't go to Adrian.
Uh, you? Crazy?
Oh, yeah.
I can be plenty crazy.
In fact, why don't we, the two
of us, go get tattoos right now?
Of what?
Wedding bands.
We're probably never
going to have real ones
so let's go get fake ones
tattooed, that'll show Adrian.
You need a little more
practice at being crazy.
Maybe we'll start
with something else.
I can be crazy.
Let's go.
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
of the American Teenager...
Now, you've made
a lot of positive changes
in the past
couple of months.
And the next
positive change is
that I want to
get pregnant again.
You're trying to have a
baby to save a marriage
that you never really
wanted in the first place.
I just want some time
alone with my husband.
But we don't have room for her.
Where would she sleep?
We can all stay
at my parents' house.
I would like you to go
ahead, and move out.
And what if you had
gotten pregnant again?
I know.
You and I, we're not
friends anymore. Fine.
Look, I know what you're here for.
What am I here for?
And you know what, you can't have him.
Just check his phone.
Adrian is still in love
with Ricky.
I feel a little relieved.
Well, would you feel
relieved if we split up?
Maybe I could rent
Ashley's room from you.
Maybe I could live here.
Are you hiding something?
I'm not hiding anything.
Which doesn't mean that you don't
have messages from Adrian.
Either you trust me,
or you don't.
Aren't you bored just talking to?
Good night, Ricky.
What are you doing?
It's been a week.
A whole week.
It may be longer. I don't want to
be with someone who can't trust me.
I thought you trusted me.
I do trust you. I do!
That's why
I stood up for you,
I stood up for you when Karlee accused
you of trying to sleep with her.
And yet, you didn't
trust me enough
to know that if I have
messages from Adrian,
they don't mean anything, they
don't mean anything at all.
They were meant to be a record so if
you ever questioned why she called,
or what she said
or anything else,
I'd have some evidence
that I've done nothing.
Did you see that I didn't
reply to any of that stuff?
Ricky, please? Please just let
me come back to the apartment.
I'll see you at school.
No, I can't take it anymore, I can't.
I just can't.
I don't think
I can come to school.
Dad's taking John
to the nursery.
Someone's at my door.
I have to go.
Who is it, Adrian?
If it is Adrian, I didn't
invite her over here.
Tell you what, hold on,
and I'll tell you.
It's not Adrian.
No, it's not Adrian,
it's me.
Long time.
How'd you find me?
Phone app.
Find Ricky. It's new.
And why'd you
want to find me?
I think I might be
getting arrested.
Arrested for what, then?
You better not be
doing drugs or drinking.
'Cause if you're
doing that stuff,
I can't help you.
I won't help you.
No, that's not
the problem.
Oh, God.
Sex with an underage girl?
I'm underage.
And, no, it wasn't that.
What is it?
I don't have a lot of time here,
and I've got
problems of my own.
I sent a picture of my girlfriend
out to everyone on my phone list.
What's wrong with sending a
picture of your girlfriend
to everyone
on your phone list?
She was in
a state of undress.
Huh? She didn't have
any clothes on. Any.
Why would you share
a picture like that?
She's hot. And she broke up
with me, and I was angry.
That was a really stupid thing to do.
For her.
For you. Those kind of photos get
out there, you can't get them back.
Any time anyone puts her name
into a computer in the future,
that photo you sent out
could pop up
when she applies to college,
or for a job, or...
This is serious.
Yeah, I realize that.
Her father already had it out for me.
Oh geez, Ethan.
I know, I know.
So can you help me out?
You gotta be
over 18 now,
you could be
responsible for me.
And I got to get someone to
be responsible for me, and...
This is a nice place.
Uh-uh.
I can't. I have a son.
I'm sure you've heard.
I had a baby with my girlfriend.
They live here.
They live here? Doesn't look
like they live here. You sure?
Yeah, go in the other room, there
are toys and a bed, and...
It wouldn't matter, I can't
be responsible for you.
I don't think the authorities would
even let me, and I just can't.
I have to take care of Amy and John, and
I'm going to college next year, and...
Man, whatever.
Don't worry about it.
Just go with me to turn myself
in, that's all I'm asking.
That's all, huh?
I'll go with you, okay? I just
have to make a phone call first.
I'm gonna call my mom and
see if she can do anything.
Did you have breakfast?
No, I haven't had breakfast,
not for most of my life.
Been there.
I'll get you something.
Yeah.
No, we're fine with
you staying here,
if that's okay with George,
it's okay with us.
You look strange.
You look happy.
I am happy.
No, you're not
a happy person.
Not normally. Normally,
you're very serious.
Maybe you're getting
sick or something.
No, I'm not
sick or something.
And, yeah,
sometimes I am serious,
but I am a happy person.
When?
When I'm not dealing with
other people's problems,
when I can just relax and
enjoy my husband and my home.
Nah, that's not it.
I'm going with sick or something.
Or maybe you're getting that empty-nest
syndrome women your age get.
Women my age, huh? Well, if I got
anything, it's whatever the opposite
of the empty-nest
syndrome is.
You gonna answer that?
Ricky.
Oh, I'm not talking to him.
Why not?
'Cause he's not being
very nice to Amy.
Are you not being
very nice to Amy?
Who told you that?
How many times do
I have to say it?
I'm being nice,
and I'm going to be nicer.
I'm going to talk to her
when I get to school.
But before I can get to school,
I have one little problem.
Remember that kid who lived
with us for a while?
Ethan? The one that
everyone is looking for,
because of that sexting incident?
Is he there?
He's not here, but I
could probably find him.
I owe you.
Ricky, don't get caught up in
this mess. He is in serious trouble.
Now if you know where he
is, you better tell me.
And get your ass over here and talk
to Amy. She's been crying for days.
What is that about?
They broke up.

So, according to the prenup,
you don't own the place,
but my dad says that
you're out of college.
Cable, utilities,
all that stuff included.
That's not
in the prenup.
I know, but my dad's feeling
very generous right now,
and he knows that you'll be
starting college in the fall,
and you can keep it, and everything in it
until you graduate.
That's what he said.
Wow. Uh...
Do I have to give
you the ring back?
No, you might want to move it
to the other hand,
but, uh, no.
Keep the ring.
So, friends?
Sure.
Even friends with benefits,
if you want.
That's, uh, not an offer
I had anticipated,
what with
with Ricky and all.
But again, I loved you.
And I loved you.
So...
Who knows? Maybe some day
I'll take you up on that.
How about today?
We have to go to school.
Come on, why would
you do that?
You're in love with Ricky.
Because we're friends,
and we're still married.
We're married friends.
So?
One for the road?
I can't.
We shouldn't.
Ah, why not?
Amy, come on,
you have to go to school.
Why do I have
to miss school.
I can miss one day of school.
I can't go to school
like this.
Dad, I have been to school
every single day this week
just to try to
talk to Ricky,
and he still won't
talk to me, not really.
He just wants more time
and more time.
I screwed
everything up, Dad.
You screwed
everything up?
He's been hiding the fact that
Adrian's been calling him.
He screwed
everything up.
No, I had no right to check
his phone messages.
No, you didn't,
but everyone does it.
Everyone like who?
I don't know.
Doesn't everyone?
Do you?
Do I what?
Do you sneak around and do you
listen to my phone messages,
and Mom's and Ashley's?
Your mom and your sister
aren't even here.
You're not saying...
What? I pay the bill.
Dad, I can't believe that you've
been listening to my phone messages!
No, I haven't.
I don't know the password.
But I mean the
text messages and emails,
they're right there
on the phone.
It hasn't happened
that many times.
And, hey, you don't think Ricky
has ever checked your phone?
Are you kidding?
You think he hasn't done the
exact same thing you did?
Why wouldn't he?
Why would he? There's nothing on my
phone he'd be interested in.
Besides, he's not
that kind of person.
Yes, he is. Anyone can be that kind of
person under the wrong circumstances,
or right... Whatever.
No, not Ricky,
he wouldn't do that.
Well, yes, he would do that.
He probably did do that. Ask him.
No! He's already angry enough at me
without making him angrier.
I'll ask him.
You go to school,
I'll ask him.
Why does anyone even have
emails or texts you wouldn't
want anyone to look at?
You know what they call emails and
texts in a courtroom? Evidence.
Yeah.
Found out the hard way.
Sure you don't want to take a
quick look just for reference?
No. I don't.
How old is she?
Sixteen.
How old are you?
Fourteen,
but I'll be 15.
I'll be in high school
next year, I hope.
How long was this girl
your girlfriend?
Three weeks.
Oh, geez. She sent you
a picture like that when
you'd only been
together three weeks?
She sent it to me
the first week.
You know, it's a status thing
to have a picture like that.
She sent it to me
showing it to guys.
Did she know you were
sending it to guys?
I wasn't.
broke up with me.
I was offended,
you know?
You need some help.
That's what I'm here for.
Some professional help.
As much as you get around,
you're like a professional.
No, I'm not. And I've changed
a lot since you saw me.
When did you last see me?
Three years?
What happened? Why'd you leave
our house? Refresh my memory.
I stole something from the
house, a set of knives.
Not steak knives, scalpels.
They belonged to the doctor.
Oh, yeah,
I remember, antiques.
What were you going
to do with scalpels?
Are you kidding?
They were beautiful.
I got hundred bucks
for them on the street.
And what did you do
with the hundred bucks?
Sneakers.
They're gonna put
me in jail this time.
You know they are.
I don't know anything other than
you have to turn yourself in.
If the cops are looking for you,
you have to turn yourself in.
And you're still under 18, so,
hopefully, they won't put you in jail.
Why aren't you at school?
Why aren't you at school?
I have a situation
I have to take care of.
Oh, and what is that?
Sorry.
Get out here.
Hey, she's hot.
Hey, wait up.
I want to
apologize, okay?
I admit I did call Grant and
Jack just to make you crazy.
And I apologize.
Well, at least you
didn't call Daniel.
You didn't call Daniel?
How did you even find him?
He's listed, geez.
You would do that?
You would go after my new boyfriend?
Well, there wasn't much point in
going after your old boyfriends,
you don't really
care about them.
And they turned me down.
Good.
But I care about you, and I care
that you're just trying to hurt me.
You told Amy that I was
trying to seduce Ben.
That I was trying to trick him
into getting me pregnant.
Yeah, well, you are,
or you were.
No, I'm not.
And Ben and I are
just friends now.
Yeah, because now
you want Ricky back.
And you told
Amy that, too.
So what? You don't even care that
Amy has tried to be your friend.
You're going after
Ricky anyway.
I think that's horrible, Adrian,
that's really horrible.
They have a son.
Hey, hey, they broke up,
he's fair game.
If not me,
it'll be someone else.
What are you talking about?
They didn't break up.
Where'd you hear that?
From Ricky.
So you're talking to
Ricky?
I talked to Ricky, yes.
And, Amy is no longer
at the apartment.
Well, that makes
me sad, really sad.
It looked like everything was
going to work out for them.
Yeah, it almost never does when two
teenagers have a baby together.
But it could. It could if their friends
and family supported them, maybe.
And that's the right thing
to do, don't you think?
To support Amy and Ricky being together
as opposed to trying to break them up?
I mean, it's difficult enough for them,
already, I'm sure, without someone
intentionally trying
to break them up.
You don't want to do
that, Adrian.
You're really not that
type of person, are you?
Maybe I am.
'Cause, well, thinking about
being with him makes me happy.
Yeah, but other things, other,
guys, could make you really happy
if you're ready for that.
Look, if I could get you a really,
really hot date, would you go out then?
I mean, you and Ben, you're
not divorced yet, right?
But do you guys have, like, a
agreement about that sort of thing?
You're going to get
me a really hot date?
Yes, Daniel has
friends, you know.
And a really cute
one that lives upstairs.
Does he look like Daniel?
Yeah.
Then I'd definitely
be interested.
Hey, Grace.
Help.
What kind of help
did you need?
Well, first of all, I need you
to always be honest with me
and tell me when
Adrian calls you.
It's not something that I
wanted to text you about,
and I haven't seen
you to tell you.
Good excuse.
Grace, I've had
finals all week.
I'm a little crazy right
now.
If it ever happens again, which I doubt
that it will because I've blocked
her from my phone, I will tell you.
I'll text you right away.
Really? You blocked her?
I blocked her.
Well, you still should have told me and
since you didn't maybe you owe me?
I don't know if I owe you,
but what'd you have in mind?
Okay, we need to find
Adrian a date.
Isn't she married?
No.
Yes, she is.
Not really, no.
What does that mean?
It means they're getting a divorce
and they have an agreement.
Okay, well, still, I don't
want to play matchmaker.
We have to find
Adrian a date.
Otherwise, she's going
to go after Ricky
and she's going to get hurt,
and I don't want that.
I'm her friend, or I'm
trying to be her friend.
Who would I fix her up
with?
That guy upstairs.
What guy upstairs?
There are 50 guys upstairs.
Oh, no. No.
No. No, no, no.
He's a player.
A girl who just lost
a baby and is getting
a divorce does not
need a player.
She really doesn't even need
to be dating, does she?
Well, she can handle a player,
she dated Ricky for years.
I so don't want
to be involved in this.
You're the one who told me
to try to be her friend.
I'm trying to be her
friend.
I'm trying not
to be her friend.
Please?
But Jesse is graduating
in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, but I'm going
to graduation
and all that other stuff
that graduates do.
But he'll be going
away to school.
He's coming back
here on the weekends,
or I'll go there
on the weekends.
I wish you would
have told me that
you still wanted to get
back together with him.
I've always wanted to get
back together with him.
Yeah, but you
didn't say anything.
And I broke up with Jack.
That has nothing to do
with me and Jesse.
Yes, it does.
I would have just hung in there for a
couple of weeks until school was over
and we could have done all
the senior stuff together.
Jack broke up with you.
Yes, but I accepted.
I wouldn't have accepted.
Accepted what?
Oh, hey, Amy,
how are you?
Hey, we looked for you when we
got to school this morning.
Yeah, I'm a little late,
I just got here.
Are you okay?
Um, no, not really.
I went by Ricky's apartment
to see if we could talk,
but there was
some kid over there,
and he obviously cared more
about talking to him right now.
Whose kid?
Yeah, whose kid?
Does he have another kid?
No, no, no, no, no.
Just some kid who lived with him
when he was at his mother's house.
His mother had other foster kids in
and out while Ricky was living there,
and this one
just showed up.
I wasn't even going to come in today
but I do want to talk to him.
I want to ask him
something.
If I can even get
him to talk to me.
Do you guys think that Ricky's
ever looked through my phone?
Ever checked my text messages or
emails or anything like that?
Yes.
What?
Everybody does it.
And you're living
together.
So, unless you've had your phone in your
possession every moment of every day,
then I'm sure he has.
Do you do that?
Either of you?
Have you ever looked through
your boyfriend's phone
without them
knowing about it?
No. But Jesse and I
trust each other.
Oh, come on.
I've looked through
Jason's.
You never looked
through Ashley's?
No.
You looked through
Jack's phone?
Well, yes, and it wasn't
always easy, either.
It was usually when he'd run into
some fast food place or something
and leave it in the car.
You're kidding me.
Did you find anything
that, like, bothered you?
No, he just sends
really dumb texts.
Any texts to Grace?
Yeah.
The dumbest texts of all.
But the thing is,
if you look at his
texts or emails,
you can't say anything.
No.
Yeah, you have to come
up with some other way
that you got the information
that you sneaked around to get,
or at least say that
you got it somewherelse.
Yeah, I'm really careful with
what I say in my texts or emails,
especially after that
mis-mail to my dad that time.
Am I the only one here
who feels guilty
about looking through someone's
phone that's not mine?
Probably.
But you are a good girl.
Yeah. Always have been.
I'm a teenage mother.
Yeah, I bet that happens
mostly to good girls.
Oh, hi, Amy.
Girls.
Hey, Adrian.
I was looking for you.
I heard about you and
Ricky.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Yeah, you do.
So how long have you
been out, a week now?
Just for your information,
Ricky has a kid who needed
some help staying with him.
He's not interested
in you anyway,
whether I'm there or not.
He might be.
Especially when he
hears I'm dating again.
What? Come on.
What do you mean?
You're dating your
husband again?
You're going out
with Ben again?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Not Ben. Other guys.
Guys that Ricky
would be jealous of.
Guys that are in college.
Guys that Grace's boyfriend
thinks I should meet.
You know, so I can
get out of high school,
and try out a whole
new playing field.
Oh, uh, by the way,
you listened to my
phone messages?
So what? You never listened to
any of Ben's phone messages?
Never checked any of his
text messages or emails?
Of course not.
You're lying.
I think.
Well, we'll never
know, will we?
Because if I ever did do something so
unscrupulous as to check Ben's phone,
well, I definitely
didn't get caught.
It's child pornography?
Child pornography?
You saw the picture.
She's a minor.
She's a child.
She's my child,
and you sent around
pictures of her, naked.
She's 16.
She knew what she was doing
when she sent me that picture.
So you didn't take
the picture?
Who took the picture?
She took the picture.
So anyway, the problem
is that you forwarded the photo.
That's distributing
child pornography.
Again, she is not a child.
She is not, sir.
And she doesn't even care
that I sent it around.
I mean, yeah, other guys'
girlfriends have gotten upset,
but they're not like her.
Are you kidding me?
She's devastated.
She's devastated you saw
it and found out about it.
She wanted me to...
Okay, maybe not wanted,
but she doesn't care if
people see the photo.
She considers it art.
Oh, my...
And she's very...
You know,
she has a lot of...
Confidence.
Okay, look, you little loser,
you can't send naked pictures of my
daughter around to half the school
and not go to jail for it.
Uh...
Ethan, you want
to step back outside?
Certainly.
What happened to the dude?
The dude...
...is in school.
I sent him back to school.
You're still telling
him what to do?
He's 18.
I'm going to be telling him
what to do until he's 40.
Maybe longer.
Lucky him.
So you tired of
getting in trouble yet?
You know, I don't know
what the big deal is.
The big deal is you
broke the law again.
Let me ask you something.
Were those new sneakers worth
getting taken out of our house?
No.
Guy stole 'em from
me two weeks later.
They actually let you
have your phone back?
You're back up.
Let's go.
Um...
Do you ever
pick up your kids' phones and
check out the messages on them?
Who's asking, you, or did
one of my kids complain?
No, it's me. It's just me.
I just know someone
that that happened to.
Is that why those
two are upset?
He got nosy with her
phone?
No, the other way around.
Oh, geez.
Oh, let me guess.
Messages from Adrian?
Yeah. And Amy got
caught listening to them.
How'd she get the
password?
It was "John."
They all pick stupid
passwords, if left to themselves.
My daughters and
I have an agreement.
I have full access to
anything on their phones
and the passwords
to check the phones.
And once a week
I do check them.
Never on the same day,
never the same time.
Cuts down on any
of the phone crap.
Have you ever seen
pictures of my daughters?
No.
There's a reason for that.
What's the reason?
They're hot.
And they don't need to be advertised
around this joint with the two hounds
I'm sorry.
I forgot that one
of them is your son.
So, you have
hot daughters, huh?
Like that's a surprise.
It's a blessing
and a curse.
I have got them in
all-girls private schools
and I'm going to keep them in
an all-girls private school
until they've got PhDs.
That's gonna make
'em gay, you know.
I'm kidding.
Not that I would mind.
I might prefer that.
Cut down on the chance for some
guy to do something stupid
and get one of them...
Again, I'm sorry.
Oh, apology accepted.
I know it's not the best thing that
happened to Ricky and Amy and John,
but it's not like nothing
good came of it.
Ladies.
Oh. Hi.
Right, I haven't seen you since
I fired you from the office.
Sorry about that, Bunny.
And what about me?
You I have to talk to.
Because?
I guess folks
are going to know.
Betty and I are splitting
up.
Oh, what happened?
She wants
to go to college.
Oh, you're not joking.
No, I'm not.
And that would break up two people if
one of them wanted to go to college?
It just didn't work out. We decided
we'll be happier not married,
and that's that.
It's nobody's business.
No one asked, you volunteered.
I mean, just for the record.
Just in case you want to use that to fire
me from here or, you know, anything.
I, on the other hand,
never hold a grudge.
I completely and totally
understand why I got fired.
And why is that?
Can't be trusted.
Can't be trusted staying sober,
can't be trusted with
anything else. No?
Well, yeah, but that's what
I imagine you're thinking.
That's not what I'm thinking.
What I'm thinking is that
everyone deserves
a second chance, everyone.
What about Bunny?
No.
Oh, well, actually, I think
this would be my third chance,
my second chance
was being here.
Okay, a third chance.
I want you back.
I don't deserve
a third chance.
I'll take it.
Hey.
Hey, um,
I want to talk to you,
but I have to go to the
counselor's office immediately.
I don't know what she wants, but she
said immediately, so I have to go.
No, you don't. I got that Joe guy
to give your teacher the note.
It cost me 20 bucks.
Really? So I don't have to go...
No.
I just got here
and I felt bad that
you dropped by and I had
something else going on,
but maybe you shouldn't
have dropped by.
I told you I'd talk to
you when I saw you.
Yet you have time
to talk to Adrian.
At least that's
what she says.
I did talk to her, Amy.
I told her what happened,
and I asked her to please not
call, or text, or email me again.
Oh, so she texts you
and emails you, too?
She's not just calling and
leaving you seductive messages?
You thought she'd call
but not text or email?
No one emails!
Whatever. She won't do
any of that stuff again,
not that that
resolves our issues.
Yes, she will, she's
not going to give up.
You know, she's even going to try to
make you jealous by going out on a date.
I know,
she texted me.
If I don't respond,
eventually she'll stop.
And have you responded?
I can't stop her.
I can only stop myself.
And I don't care who
she's going out with.
I mean, who's she
going out with? Ben?
No. Someone new.
Somebody that Grace's new boyfriend
is fixing her up with.
I saw that.
Saw what?
It does bother you.
You're going to go there again
after what I just said?
Are you ever going to believe me when
I say I'm not interested in Adrian,
or are you always going to be sneaking
around to see if you can catch me
picking up my phone or listening
in on my conversations
and all that stuff.
Let me ask
you something, Ricky.
You ever pick up my phone, check
my messages, my emails, my texts?
Aha! So you've done the same thing
to me that I've done to you
only you
didn't get caught.
And there's nothing on my phone
that would even bother you.
See, this is what
I'm talking about.
We just can't trust each other.
Why even try?
This isn't what I wanted
to be doing tonight.
Well, she's on
the way over, so...
So what? I just got finished
with my last final,
and I was just going to see if you
want to come over and celebrate.
Sure. But the more,
the merrier, right?
Grace, come on. Tell her I couldn't
get in touch with him,
tell her he has
a girlfriend or something.
But that would be a lie.
Well, kind of. Come on,
I promise. I'll find her a date.
No. It has to be the date I found.
It has to be...
What's his name?
Dante?
Yes, Dante.
Just come over, we'll talk
about it, we'll talk to him,
see if he's even interested and
we can get a little alone time.
Okay.
Okay, then.
I'll just ask Adrian to drop me
off so you can drive me home.
And if he happens to be at your
apartment when she drops me off, then,
that would be great.
It's T-bone. He'll come over for that.
You can thank me later.
Wait, what? No.
I don't want him to come over.
You've been wanting him
to come over all week.
Nora brought home steaks
from the butcher shop
so you would have
a reason to call him.
Call him.
Come on, Ames,
I'm doing this for you.
No, you're not.
You're doing this
so I won't be annoyed with
you for looking at my phone.
I'm not gonna call him.
He has looked at your phone,
hasn't he? You asked him?
Yeah, I asked him,
and no, he hasn't,
so thanks for the
suggestion.
Oh, he's just not admitting it.
I'm going to call him.
You may not be crying
now, but I know you,
and there's going to be crying until
we get this whole thing wrapped up,
so just call him.
By the way, did you tell Mom
that Nora is living here
or am I just supposed
to be hiding that?
Why would I tell Mom
that Nora is living here?
Because she owns the
house.
I have the house until you and
Ashley graduate high school,
and I'm done raising you.
There better be something funny
in that textbook, young lady.
There isn't.
Then what's so funny, that
I'm raising you and Ashley?
Dad, do you even know
where Ashley is?
Yes, I know
where Ashley is.
I talk to her every day.
And we text.
We text and text and text.
You can check my phone.
And where is she?
She's in Florida.
No, I knew that, I meant
where is she tonight?
She and her friend are
starting a new job tonight.
Uh-huh.
What kind of job?
Some sort of
medical assistant.
Yeah, what is Ashley qualified to
assist with in the medical field?
I don't know, I didn't hire her,
but she's a very smart girl.
Mmm-hmm. Smart enough
to get out of this house.
I thought
you liked the house.
You liked the house when
it was you and Ricky here.
What is it you don't
like about it now?
Oh, of course, me.
I've gotten that before.
Ashley, this experimental
test program is for people
who have depression.
I'm not depressed.
I've been
depressed before.
You're jaded,
not depressed.
Well, they're paying $500.
I could be depressed for $500.
I guess I could be, too.
Let's at least find out
what it's about.
"This medication could
cause irregular heartbeat,
"liver failure or could
even result in death..."
I'm out.
Feeling better.
Ta-da!
We walked
all around the block.
I mean, the entire block.
And John let me
hold his hand... Well...
Hey, buddy.
It's been such a good day for me.
I'm so happy.
I've got a place to live
and a new job,
and you and John,
and your dad,
and Ricky.
Can't we call Ricky?
Can't we please, Amy?
Hi, Daddy.
No, no! He doesn't trust me
and I don't trust him, and...
Everyone deserves
a second chance.
Or even a third.
That's what Leo says.
Even if I call Ricky, it doesn't
mean he's going to come over here.
You won't know
until you try.
Why don't you call him?
It's your celebration.
I don't want
to wait outside,
I don't want to
play games, okay?
Hey, John,
good to see you, buddy.
Why don't you get Grandma to
play with you and Moose outside?
Okay.
I lied.
I've looked at your phone before.
A couple of times.
Not that it was worth
compromising my integrity for
by looking at it
or lying about it.
But I guess we were both wrong
not to trust each other.
I just don't know how we do that if
we really don't trust each other.
You don't trust me?
That's just an excuse for not
wanting to be with me, Ricky.
You know you can trust me.
You know what?
You can just go home, okay?
You don't get a T-bone steak
for this conversation.
You can go home, and you can try and
figure out how we can live together,
and still not be perfect.
Good night.
Oh, no,
I'm getting a steak.
I might eat it outside,
but I'm getting a steak.
So?
So it went nowhere.
She wants me to go home.
But I'm hungry.
And you invited me to eat,
so I'm eating,
then I'll leave.
You know what
the problem is?
The problem is
you're not married.
Oh, yeah? Well, maybe your
problem is you're not married.
Both parties have to want to
be married to be married.
My ex-wife does not
want to be married.
Does your girlfriend
want to be married?
Do you want to be married?
I just want to eat.
Yes. Just not now.
I know, I know.
Well...
There's always going to be children
who need your help,
and you're always going to want
to help them, so...
What can I say?
Well, you can say no.
I can even say no.
Since when, Margaret?
You're you.
Should we go get him?
Well, we can't
just go and get him.
Unfortunately,
he has to go to court.
Until then,
he's gonna be in juvie.
Now, Ruben's trying
to work a deal.
This is a serious offense,
you can't send just go
sending naked pictures
of people around,
unless you're
both over 18,
and then apparently
it's not a legal issue.
But it should be.
Maybe, maybe not.
You text me a picture and
I'll text you one.
Is that a yes?
Nice ring.
Oh, yeah.
It was my engagement ring.
Oh, no.
What, you're engaged?
Well, right now, I'm
married.
Interesting.
Yeah, he just moved out.
But you're still married?
Yeah.
Well, we're getting a divorce.
So, you...
Don't have children.
You guys want
something to eat or...
You're still in
high school, right?
Yeah, but I'm a year
older than Grace.
I'm graduating
after summer school
and then
I'm going to college.
So why the divorce?
Well, I'm kind of in love
with my old boyfriend,
but he and this girl
had a baby
and they were
living together,
but they just split up and I think I
might want to try being with him again.
Uh-huh.
Maybe we should have given
them both a list of topics.
I don't think she
actually dated that much.
You know what,
I like your honesty.
I really do.
But if you're trying to get
back with your old boyfriend,
what are you
doing here with me?
Uh, I don't know.
I thought it would
make him jealous,
and I was curious.
About?
About whether or not Grace
actually knows any hot guys,
besides that one.
You know you can tell what
a person thinks about you
by who they try
to fix you up with?
You think so?
Yeah, I think so.
All right, well, um,
what do you think
people think about you?
Well, they think
I'm good looking,
because you're good looking.
Hmm?
And they think I'm smart,
because you're smart,
and they think I'm sexy,
because, uh,
well, you are sexy.
You know what, your
self-esteem is pretty high
for someone going through a
divorce so early in life.
Yeah, it is.
That's why even though my old boyfriend
and this girl have a baby together,
I still think
I can get him back.
Not that I'm totally sure
I want him back.
She'd take him away
from Amy just to see?
We're trying to have
a conversation here.
So, what's your story?
Well, I've been
married three times
and I got nine kids.
Really?
No, I'm playing.
I don't have nine kids.
I was just trying
to top your story.
Oh, yeah,
that's difficult to do.
Yeah. Uh, no, actually, I'm
a sophomore in college,
my brother's a senior.
We live upstairs and I
got a full scholarship.
The wildest thing
I've ever done?
I don't know,
a couple of tattoos.
Oh, I'd like
to get a tattoo.
Tonight?
No!
No, I don't even have one picked
out yet, or a place to get it.
Oh, 'cause, I an, I was going
to take you to my guy.
He does some really,
really good work.
Oh, um, when I said
I don't have a place,
uh, I meant on me.
I don't know
where I'd put one.
Oh, uh,
well, uh, how about
we get up out of here,
so I can get a better look
at the canvas, huh?
All right.
You guys,
tattoos last a lifetime!
Nice work, Grace.
At least it'll keep her
away from Ricky.
Amy and Ricky
got into a big fight.
Amy checked his phone out
and he caught her.
Really? You can check
my phone out any time you want.
No, it's okay,
I trust you.
Do you?
Or do you just not want
me to see your phone?
No!
No, you can see my phone,
if you really want to.
It's okay with me.
It's no one.
Tell no one I said hi.
It's Ethan. He's stuck in some juvie
hall room with some other idiot.
All right, can we just
talk about this?
Yeah, I've been trying to
talk to you for a week now.
Yeah, I let this go on
way too long because,
Amy, all my life,
no one has trusted me,
and all my life
I wasn't trustworthy.
I think I've earned
the right to be trusted.
It would be easier for
me to trust you, Ricky,
if you had just said, "Hey, you
want to listen to this message
"I just got from Adrian?"
instead of not saying anything or
saying you had listened to it,
and then you erased it.
That was a lie.
Yeah, I guess it was.
And I shouldn't
have talked to her at all.
I should have told you
when I heard from her
and when I called her
back to talk to her.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
And hello, you've lied to me
before and I still trust you.
That was different.
How was it different?
I don't know.
Let me tell you.
Because it was different.
Again, no one has ever
trusted me, other than you,
so when I got busted,
I felt humiliated,
and I hated myself for letting
you down and I felt unworthy,
and I just
couldn't say that.
It was easier to be angry.
I'm very comfortable angry
and being the victim.
It's a lifelong process
to change that.
Again, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
And thank you for telling
me that, for apologizing.
Can we please, please go back
to the apartment now? Please?
Ethan.
Just wanted to thank me.
Ethan again?
Oh, my God.
Wait, is this the photo that
he got in trouble with?
No, it's Adrian showing me where
she's going to get a tattoo.
Okay, sooner or later, we've got to
get a sense of humor about Adrian.
What's funny about her constantly,
relentlessly, trying to break us up?
You left out nakedly.
She's crazy,
you know that?
I know that.
And I'm all done with crazy.
You know
I can be crazy too,
if that's what you want,
if that's what you like.
I can.
If you're no
done with crazy,
let me be crazy for you,
don't go to Adrian.
Uh, you? Crazy?
Oh, yeah.
I can be plenty crazy.
In fact, why don't we, the two
of us, go get tattoos right now?
Of what?
Wedding bands.
We're probably never
going to have real ones
so let's go get fake ones
tattooed, that'll show Adrian.
You need a little more
practice at being crazy.
Maybe we'll start
with something else.
I can be crazy.
Let's go.
