The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 11 - The Games We Play - full transcript

ADRIAN: Previously on
The Secret Life
of the American Teenager...

Please let me
come back to the apartment.

I don't want to be with
someone who can't trust me.

It's me.

Remember that kid
who lived with us
for a while?

The one that
everybody is looking for?

One for the road?

Amy is no longer
at the apartment.

If I could get you
a really, really hot date,
would you go out then?

Who would I fix her up with?
That guy upstairs.

No.
No. No, no, no.
He's a player.



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 more weeks.

You can't send naked
pictures of my daughter
around to half the school

and not go to jail for it.

It's child pornography.

Betty and I are splitting up.

You ever pick up my phone,
check my messages,
my emails, my texts?

Did you tell Mom
that Nora is living here

or am I just supposed
to be hiding that?

If you're
trying to get back
with your old boyfriend,

what are you
doing here w with m?

I thought it would
make him jealous.



Let me be
crazy for you,
don't go to Adrian.

You need
a little more practice
at being crazy.

I hate that
I do this to myself.

I mean, just last week,
all I wanted was for him

to let me and John come
back to the apartment.

And now
that I have that,
I want more.

I always want more

or better or different
than what I have.

Well, welcome
to the human race.

No, I'm sure
that some girls
would be thrilled

to be living with the
father of their baby,

especially if
the father was
anything like Ricky,

and so caring,
and so helpful and...

Hot.
[CHUCKLES]

He's so hot!

He is!
He's really hot!

Some nights
I just look at him

and I can't believe
he's looking back at me
the same way.

I know. [CHUCKLES]

I mean,
you were that nerdy
French horn player

who thought she'd
never have a boyfriend,
and then you end up...

I'm sorry.
Uh, where were you?

Um, I was at...

Okay, I know that
I'm a lucky girl
to have Ricky in my life,

but I want to be married.

I want to know
that Ricky is going
to be there for me

and for John
for the rest of our lives.

Well, getting married
is not going to guarantee
that or anything else.

I know that,
but it's what I want.

I feel terrible
that I feel this way.

I wish I didn't,
and I try not to,

but honestly, Madison,

it doesn't make me feel
too good about myself,

after getting
pregnant at 15,

to be living
with Ricky at 17.

I'm not even sure
it's better than living
with my parents.

Not that my parents
are even living together.

Once upon a time,

there was a little boy who
wasn't much older than you,

and he lived
with a wicked king

who had a bad temper
and yelled and hit things.

And the queen
couldn't stop him
and she was afraid of him.

So she did things to
make herself unconscious.

Bad things.

Like she did drugs
and she drank too much.

So, one day,

some people
came and took
the little boy away,

and he went to live
at another house,

and then another house
and then another house.

Finally,
a good king and queen

rescued the little boy
and took him in.

Unfortunately,
by this time,

he was a little
rotten himself,

and he had to learn
how not to be like

the wicked
king and queen
when he grew up.

And when he was
16 years old,

he met a girl at band camp
and he had a baby with her.

But he didn't marry her,

and she wanted to
get married so badly

she was
driving him crazy.

So, finally,

he decided
he wanted to give
her what she wanted

because he loved her
so much.

So, he went shopping
for a diamond ring.

Not a big diamond ring,
a tiny diamond ring,

the kind of
diamond ring
you can buy

if you save your money
working at a butcher shop.

A ring like this.

Do you like it?
Do you like it, John?

Yes.
I hope Amy likes it.

You know
who Amy is?
Who is Amy?

Mommy.
Do you want me to give
Mommy the ring?

No.

[CHUCKLES] Why not?

Okay, well,
I'm not going to
give it to her yet.

I'm going to wait
and give it to her

the night I graduate
from high school.

♪ 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 ♪

+

OK, I'm going to go,

Ricky wanted some time
to be with John tonight,

And... I needed...

But I've vented and now
And now i'm going

to get Ricky to
ask me to marry him.

How are you
going to do that?
Okay.

Well, here's what
I'm thinking.

I think I'll go by
Soda Fountainashioned

and get Ricky histhat he lie

the one with
and the sprinkles on top.

And then, while he's
having his shake,

I'll run a hot bath,
light some candles

and then call him in
to take a bath with me.

He thinks
I can be wild.d.

And your idea of wild
and a bath?e shake

Yeah, it's romantic!

You already gave him
his only living son,

you think
is going to top that? a bath

Goodnight, Madison.

I'm sorry,
it's just...

You know, if he
won't marry you

after all the things
through together,

then he's not
because you give him

a chocolate shake
and a bath.

Shut up.
You don't know.

Maybe I'll even
wash his hair.
Oh!

[LAUGHING]

Okay. We should stop.

Yeah, I guess
we should.

It's just so nice
to be with you again.

It's nice to be
with you, too.

But we both know
you're going away to school,

so, like you once
pointed out to me,

we shouldn't do anything

because chances are
we won't end up together.

Well, as long as
we both realize that...

Then what?
We should just do it?

No. I can't.

I just want to wait
and see how things go.

All right, we can wait.

But I really
did miss you,

and you know how
much I care about you.

And you know how much
I care about you,

but I'm still not doing it.

What if I decide
to go to the same school
that Jack is going to?

I haven't decided
where I'm going
to school yet,

but according
to my counselor,
I should have lots of options.

And I can't limit
my options to schools

that are geographically
convenient to whatever
school you go to.

But I think
you're missing what
I'm offering you here.

I might be willing
to change schools for you.

No, I know
what you're offering,

and I don't want
that responsibility.

If you change
schools for me,

then what happens
if I change my mind
about us,

or if you change
your mind about us?

Which you have before.

So maybe we should
just live for today.

Or tonight, anyway.
No.

You're really good
at saying "no."

I've had a lot of practice.

Don't you want
your first time
to be with me?

Yeah. I do,
but that's what I want
right now, tonight,

but in a year,
or the year after that

I don't know
what I'll want then,
and neither do you.

So, let's just wait.

Would it feel right
if I said I love you?

Are you saying
you love me,

or are you asking
if it would feel right

to have sex if you
said you love me?

I love you, Lauren.

Oh my God, really?

Really.
Do you love me?

Yeah.

Hey! Stop! Okay?

But I love you.

[SCOFFS]
You know what?

That was an "I want in
your pants I love you."

That was not
a real "I love you."

So I take
mine back. Goodnight.

Oh, man.
I so screwed up.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Jack?
Yeah, it's me, Madison.

Look, here's the deal.
You were right.

I am in love
with Grace,

I am totally
obsessed with her.

But I can't have Grace

because Grace is with her
current boyfriend, Daniel.

And as you know,
graduation is coming up

and I don't want it to
be like the senior dance.

I don't want to
ask Grace to go

and have her
drag Daniel along again.

So I'd like you
to go with me.

And I hope you don't
think I'm being a jerk

because I'm being
totally honest with you.

And since you and I
were girlfriend and
boyfriend for years,

you think you could
possibly go with me,

for old times' sake?
As a friend?

Yeah.
You would?

Really? Why?

Because Lauren is
gonna be there with Jesse,

and Amy's gonna
be there with Ricky
and I want to go, too,

even if it's just with you.

And Grace isn't
gonna be there

because she's not a senior,
so what do I care?

Thanks, Madison.
As Coach would say,
you're a team player.

[SCOFFS]
That's so romantic.

Madison...

I know. We're just
going as friends.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Your phone is buzzing.

It's Adrian.

I know what this
is about. I've been
avoiding her all week.

That idiot
never called her.
What idiot?

That idiot
you fixed her up
with from upstairs.

Dante is not an idiot.

And hey,
I didn't fix her up.
You fixed her up.

I didn't want
anything to do with it.

He said he would call her.
Can't you just get him
to call her?

No. I can't get
him to call her.

If he doesn't call her,
he doesn't call her.

Fine. Give me
his number and I'll
get him to call her.

He should be
ashamed of himself.

Wait.
Did they do something?

He took her upstairs
to get a better look

at the canvas.
What do you think?

That doesn't mean
that they did anything.

You're so naive!

She's so obsessed
with having him calling her

I'm sure he took
advantage of her

and now he won't even give her
the courtesy of a phone call.

Did you say
took advantage or
took her up on her offer?

Whatever they did
and whatever they do
is their business.

It's not our business.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

[SIGHS] Gotta go.

Can you talk to him?

[SIGHS] Hi, Adrian.

Grace, I've been
calling you all night because
he still hasn't called me.

Did you ask Daniel
if he knows why Dante
didn't call me or not?

He hasn't seen him.

Can't he go and see him?
He lives upstairs.

Do you really want
Daniel to ask him?

I mean, doesn't that
sound sort of,

you know,
high school?

This guy's in college.
I think you should
play hard to get.

Well, it's a little
too late for that.

You slept with him
on the first date?

You slept with Daniel
before you even went
on a date with him.

And no, I didn't.
We just fooled
around a little.

Then why did you
bring up the fact

that I slept with Daniel
before I ever went
out with him?

I don't know.
I just felt like it 'cause
I'm very upset about this.

Grace, guys don't
not call me.

Okay? This has
never happened before.

And this isn't
good for my ego.

He's probably just busy.

With what?
Finals are over.

I don't know, Adrian.

It's bad enough
that I can't graduate
with my class in two weeks

because I lost my baby
and I was too depressed
to go to school.

[SIGHS]
I don't need this.

I'm so sorry, Adrian.

Does he know what
you've been through?

Does he know
that I lost a baby?
No. Not exactly.

I let him think
that I thought
I was pregnant

but I wasn't.

And okay,
it's a little weird

that I got married
in high school

and I'm
getting a divorce
before graduation,

but hey,
that's no reason
not to call me again.

I know, Adrian, but...

But nothing.
I need this guy.

Okay, well,
if this guy
doesn't work out,

then we'll
get you another guy.

There are lots
of guys around.

[WHINING]
I like that one.

[SIGHS]

Thanks again for the
chocolate shake, Amy.

You're welcome.

[SOFTLY] Someone is
looking for a proposal.

You want to join me?

Join you in the bath?

It'll be fun.
I could wash your hair.

[CHUCKLING]
Oh, my God.

She is desperate.

This could be fun.
Be right there.

Till death do us part.

Did you say something?
No.

+

I can't believe it's almost
the end of our junior year.

and then we're seniors!

We're gonna be
seniors in high school.

And a year from now,
we'll be looking at
going off to college.

Yeah.
So where are we going?

Well...
Wherever I can
get into.

Which is probably not
where you two can get into,

unless I miraculously
ace the next SAT.

Yeah, it's too bad
about that, huh?

I choke on
standardized tests.

I don't know
what it is.

I start
trying to figure out
how many questions

and how much time
and I divide the time
by the questions,

and by then
I've lost time
and then I divide again,

and then I get panicked.

Aw, I feel
so badly for you.

You have to get
over that. You should
take another SAT course.

I've run out of them.

I did the one at school,
the one at the
community college,

the one my dad
paid a fortune f at
that private high school.

And I saw a shrink that
deals with test anxiety.

I don't think there's
anything else I can do.

Don't worry about it.
We'll go where you go.

Uh, I think we have
to go to whatever

the best school is
that we can get into.

Or I have to, anyways.

Henry's just going to
have to conquer the SATs.

Hi, guys.
What's going on?

Hi, Mr. Boykewich.
Hello.

What you got there?

Oh, I just thought
I'd bring up some
mini pizzas for you guys.

I'm doing a little
test of a sausage
we just sold

to a nationwide
pizza company.
Want a taste?

Sure.
Sure.

You're young people.
I want your opinion
about this stuff.

You probably
eat more pizza
than anyone, right?

What do you think?

I think I've never
had you come up

and ask my friends
to test out any
products before.

I had some time to kill.

Well.
They're great.

Yeah.
But I'd go a little
thinner on the crust.

I have nothing to do
with the pizza part,
just the sausage.

But I'll tell them
what you said.

Oh, no, don't do that.

Want another one?

We've kind of been eating
junk food all night.

Okay, well.
Staying over?

No, we're going
over to Alice's.

Want me to have
Mike drive you home?

They're not ready
to leave yet, Dad.

And I have my car.
But thanks, Mr. Boykewich.

Sure. All right. Well.

Goodnight.

He's a little lonely
since Betty left.

You have to find him
someone new.

[SIGHS] I need
to find me someone new.

Oh, you'll find someone,
but it's kind of soon.
You're still married.

And next time
you meet a girl,

I think you should rely on
our opinion a little more.

You know, like your dad.
And Henry and I understand

what it takes to make
a good relationship.
Don't we, Hank?

You guys wanna
take home the rest
of those pizzas?

No, thank you, but maybe
we should be going.

Oh, don't let me rush you.

Oh, no, of course not.
We have to get home anyway.

Goodnight.
Night.

What the heck is going on?

What do you mean?
Did you want them to
go for some reason?

No, not really.

Is there
something going on?

Not that I know of, no.
Something going on with you?

[CHUCKLES]

This is about
Camille, isn't it?

Yeah.
Here's the thing.

When do you think
it would be too soon
to give her a call?

It's never too soon.
You're a free man,

you're just
waiting on papers,
so call her.

Should I call her?
Should I just show up?

Should I send
her flowers first?

Or maybe a nice
piece of jewelry
or something?

Jewelry?
Dad, what are you,
Maurice Chevalier?

Just call her,
or email her or text her

and tell her that
you and Betty have
gone your separate ways

and you just
want to say hello.

Well, I want to do
more than say hello.

Well, you can do
more than just say hello
and not buy her jewelry.

She likes jewelry.
And I want her to like me.

Like you? Dad,
apparently she was waiting
for you all those years.

I think she more
than likes you.

Look, I went
over there last time with
nothing more in my hand

than a job offer
and I got my ass kicked.

I don't want to go
over there without
something this time.

Okay, well, just don't
show up there,

she might be dating
someone by now.

There's no one she'd
like as much as you,

but you have to
contact her first

and find out if she wants
you to come over there,

so send her flowers
and ask her to call you.

That's not how
a gentleman behaves,
asking a woman to call him.

You think she would?

I think she would.

She's gonna drive
all the way back to
Palm Springs tonight?

She's gonna have to.
I don't wanna
tell her you're here.

You're going
to let Anne drive
herself and the baby

all the way back to
Palm Springs tonight?
She does it all the time.

And you don't think
it would be a better idea

to tell her that
I'm living here,

to give her the option
of staying here tonight,
in her own house?

No, this is way more fun.
It's our little secret.

Okay, George,
what if something
happens on the road?

Then it's gonna
be my fault.

No, it's gonna be her fault
for working so late.

I can't tell
if you're joking

or if you just have no idea
what civilized people do.

Even I know that
that's not something
someone should do.

And I'm an alcoholic,
drug addict, ex-con.

Look, this is my house
until the girls graduate
from high school,

and then Anne can do
whatever she wants
with the house,

she can rent it to me,
she can sell to me,

she can live in it herself,
but tonight, it's mine

and I don't
want to tell her
that you're living here

and I don't want
her staying here.

I can't stay
in her place, so she
can't stay in my house.

Mmm-hmm.

That's what it is.
I see.

Okay. Well, I better get
out of here and hide

in Ashley's room
before she gets here.

She said it would
be another hour.

Well, it wasn't. Hi.

Hi. I'm George's ex-wife.

I just came
to get our son.
I'll go get him

and get out of your way.

He just ate,
so he'll probably
just sleep in the car.

Should be a pleasant
drive for you.

Ow!

Hi.
I'm Ricky's mom.
I'm Nora.

I am gay and I am living here
as a temporary solution.

Ricky's mom. Hi. Anne.

Anne, it's so nice
to meet you.

Were you jealous?
Just for a second there?
Either of you?

No.
No.

Here. I packed his
stuff already. Goodnight.

Okay. I think I'll just
go to my room now.

Okay.
You guys figure out
who's sleeping where,

and, you know,
if you need Ashley's bed,
I can sleep on the couch.

So she's living here?

Is she paying you
money to live here?

No, she just
needs a place.

She's been living with
Ricky's other mother.

I know that.
Did she get kicked out
for some reason?

No, she did not
get kicked out.

You know she's not
gonna have sex with you.

I know that.
I know what a lesbian is.

Right. So you know
that if she brings
a date home,

the two of them are not
going to have sex with you.

They might.
[SCOFFS]

All right, well, if you
wanna stay, the other
half of the bed is open.

Sorry, Moose.

No, I don't want to stay,
but I don't want to drive
back to Palm Springs, either.

I'm sick of driving
here and back.
I'm exhausted.

Well, Amy's room
is available.

Good.
Then you can sleep
in Amy's bed

and I can sleep in
my bed in my house,

like I would have hoped
you would have offered.

You don't let me
stay at your condo.

You are such a child!

Oops.

Just coming back in.
I left my cell phone.

And I couldn't agree more.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm sorry.
I'm sure you had a long day

and didn't feel
like being surprised.

Believe me,
you're not the problem.

And I've always
wanted to meet you,

especially now that Amy
is living with Ricky.

Yeah, and pushing
him to marry her.
Oh, no.

Is that what
Ricky is saying?
That she's pushing him?

Well, yeah,
but I don't think he minds.

[SIGHS]

You know what I've
been thinking, Amy?

No. What?

That we really
should get married.

Really?

Yeah. When we both
graduate from college,

and we have jobs
and we're more settled,
we should get married.

Um, yeah.

Yeah, that sounds good.

I mean, good
and kind of vague.

Could you be more vague?

That wasn't vague.
That was very specific.

That would be
five years from now.

We should make
a five-year plan
and stick to it.

Five years will
go by like that.

Especially if every night
is like tonight.

My neck is a little stiff
from holding my head back

when you were
shampooing my hair.

Would you mind
giving me a massage?

Um. Okay. Sure.

+

Even if I can't get into
school that your'e...

my parents wouldn't have
the money for me to go.

There are five kids
in my family.

I'd have to
get a scholarship,

and I don't think there's
any chance of that.

Let's not worry
about things that
haven't happened.

It's just that...

I'm starting to
feel a little guilty
about the sex.

What?

I mean, we both see
the possibility of
this not lasting,

yet we keep
having sex.

Really good sex.

Well, now that
you've said that, it's not
going to be good sex.

And I can't
see the possibility
of us not lasting,

or I couldn't
until you started
talking like this.

You're not
sabotaging the SATs

just to not get into
a good college, are you?

Are you trying
to get away from me?

Alice,

we've been together
since the third grade.

And?
And

if we take a break
after next year and
go to different colleges,

then, I don't know,

that might be
good for us.

I may even want to
travel for a year or two
before I go to college.

Henry, you are not
breaking up with me
at school, are you?

I said take a break,
not break up.

Take a break,
and not for another year.

You coward!

You don't
want to be with me,

so you're going
to wait until we get
into different colleges

and then use that
as an excuse?

Just forget
I said anything.

Alice.

[SIGHS]

Sorry, couldn't
find parking.

Where's Alice going?

Henry?

I think
I'm gonna throw up.
What's wrong?

Alice thinks
I broke up with her.

Why?

Did you?
No.

If we break up,
it'll be next year,

after we both graduate
and go our separate ways.

But just last night,
we were talking about
all going to college together

if you can do a little
better on the SATs.

Oh, no.
You don't want to take
the SATs again, do you?

I just can't.
I can't do it!

You don't
understand the pressure
of being Filipino.

Your family places a lot of
importance on the SATs?

And on grades.
And on college.

And on marrying
someone they approve of.

They don't
approve of Alice?

No, they do.

They'd like to see
us get married.

And "like to see us"
means you're expected to,
and Ben...

She's the only girl
I've ever even kissed.

Oh, Henry.

When I graduate,
I wanna see the world.

I wanna go places,
experience new things
with new women.

What made you start
thinking this way?

I think it was either when
you got pregnant or married
or filed for divorce.

He called last night
and I'm going to
graduation with him

and everything
graduation-related.

You know, I agreed
to go as his date,

as a friend
who knows that

he doesn't love me.
He loves Grace.

Why?
Why would you do that?

Well, because
I thought Lauren
was going with Jesse,

and you'd be there
with Ricky and we'd
all have a good time.

It's just an agreement.
I mean, we both agreed.

You have absolutely
zero self-esteem,
you know that?

Well, look where
your self-esteem got you!

Madison!
And you!

I don't see a ring
on your finger.

Chocolate shake and a bath
didn't work out? Huh?

What?
I'm trying to get
Ricky to marry me.

And, by the way, he did say
he would marry me.
When?

When we get out of college
and we get a job
and we get settled.

Then he asked me
to massage his neck.

And you did,
didn't you?

Yes. I did.
It made him happy.

What is he gonna do
to make you happy?

I am happy. That's why
I wanna get married.

Amy, you're
in high school.

And I'm living with him
and our son.

Excuse me, Lauren?

Could we talk?

Can wealk?
You sure you don't want
to do more than talk?

I apologize.
It's not like me
to be so pushy,

but it's not like you
to go past first base,

so I thought
I could, you know,
go for a home run.

I misread the signals.

That's ridiculous.
I know. I know it is,

and I know I got
too pushy and I blew it.

But please, Lauren,
it won't happen again.
I promise.

I can hear the
word "no." I can.

You couldn't last night.

I really do love you.

Lauren?
I was just joking.

Lauren!

I don't think
I'm doing that.
No. Not intentionally.

Adrian, I just think
it was too soon for
you to go out again.

RRIt was too soon for
you to even meet Dante.

It should not be
this big of a deal

if a guy doesn't
call you back after
he went out with you.

That just happens sometimes.

It just feels bad
because you're so
vulnerable right now.

Look, I'm sorry.
I know I said I'd find out
why he didn't call,

but I'm not going to.

I am not going to
help you look desperate.

That's how this looks.

And you
don't do desperate.
You're Adrian.

You should
think about that.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh Adrian, come in.

I'm just getting
paperwork done
for all the...

Graduates?

Yeah.
Which you will be, too.
At the end of summer.

I have to graduate
with my class. I have to.

I have been
rough way too much

not to get to graduate
with all the students
I started school with.

Please, please,
there has to be a way.

I just lost a baby.
My marriage is breaking up.

And the guy I went out with
last week isn't returning

any of my calls
or text messages.

You went out with a guy?
On a date?

Are you and Ben
even divorced?

What's a divorce?
We're done. It's over.

I have to be at that
graduation ceremony
in a cap and gown.

Please, please,
please, appeal to whoever
you have to appeal to

to get me on that stage.

I'll go to the
classes this summer.

I'll finish whatever
work I have to do.

I just want
to be with Ricky.

I mean,
Ricky and Jack
and all of my friends.

Surely, you can find
some way to allow me

this one happiness
after all I've been through.

I'll try.

Thank you.
I know you can do it.

Oh, oops!

Yeah, like that
wasn't intentional.

It wasn't intentional.

Fine. Two more weeks
and no chance of this
ever happening again.

Uh, yeah, there is.

Don't forget.
I got into the same
college you got into.

I forgot. But you
still have to graduate.

Yes, but the counselor
just told me that I might

get to go to the graduation
with all the rest of you.

I'll just have to finish my
requirements this summer.

Whatever.
Wait!

Slow down!

Can't you even have a normal
conversation with me?

I'm not after you.
I have a boyfriend.

You have a boyfriend?
Does your husband know?

Um, my soon
to be ex-husband.

And it's none
of his business.
And he doesn't care.

Do you care?
No, Adrian,
I really don't.

I'm really
in love with Amy.

Well, you're not
married to Amy, are you?

No.

And you're not
engaged, are you?

No.

Then you're still
technically available.

Not for long.

Come in.

Oh! Oops.
Sorry, wrong apartment.
I was looking for Daniel.

Oh. No.
Right apartment.
Daniel's not here.

Oh. I didn't know
he had a roommate.

A good-looking roommate.

[CHUCKLES]

You're half right.
I am good-looking,

but no, he doesn't
have a roommate.

I live upstairs.
I was just
borrowing some food.

Or going to.
Nothing here.

Oh, you live upstairs?
I know someone
who lives upstairs.

Who's that?

Oh, just some guy.

Some really rude,
obnoxious guy
named Dante.

Do you know him?

Kind of.

Yeah, well,
we went out,

and I thought we
hit it off, but apparently
he was faking it.

I haven't heard from him.

Look, you haven't seen
him around, have you?

No. He took off
when he finished
his last final.

He's backpacking across
Europe with some guys.

I knew it! I knew there
had to be a good reason
why he hadn't called me.

Well, he could
have called you.

I mean, it was last minute,
but he could have called you.

Especially since
you're going through
a divorce and all.

Oh, yeah, he told me.

You're Adrian,
aren't you?

Yeah. And you are?

Omar.

His brother.
Yep.

Oh.
[CHUCKLES]

Oh.

Hey, your dad
let me in.

You didn't tell him
we were seeing each
other again?

No, because
I thought about it,

and I don't want to go
to any graduation stuff
with you.

Lauren's right.

The only reason
I'm doing it is because
I have zero self-esteem

and I probably
would have ended up
sleeping with you, too,

so I changed my mind.

Wait a minute, you can't
just change your mind.
You're my friend.

No, not really.

I mean, not that
good a friend.

I mean, I don't, like, mind
talking to you in the hallway
and stuff like that,

but I don't wanna
go out with you.

Madison, come on,
I can't go through
graduation solo.

No, you can.
And you should.

You deserve to go solo.

Don't be like that.
Next year,

if you don't
have a boyfriend,
I'll do it for you.

Next year, if I don't
have a boyfriend? Ha!

I'm gonna have
a boyfriend.

You don't have
a boyfriend right now.

I will have a boyfriend
by this time next year.

Okay, well, I don't
have a girlfriend
this time this yea

Okay? So please.
No.

But Lauren and Jesse
and Amy and Ricky
are gonna be there.

Lauren broke up with Jesse.

Oh, so that's it.
It had nothing to do
with being a friend to me.

I told you that.
No, you didn't.

No, I did.

Madison,
after all the time
we spent together,

and all the things
we did together,

you can't just
do this for me?

I really need you.

No, you need
to get over Grace.

And once
you get over Grace,

if I'm still around
and I haven't found
that boyfriend,

then, maybe, I'll
think about going out
with you as a friend.

But not now.

No.

Can you say, "Idiot?"
Say, "Idiot."

I want to be
reminded every day
that I'm an idiot.

Hi.
Hi.

Sorry to surprise
you like this.

No, no,
nice surprise.

Come in.

What's going on?

Well, first of all,
you're not an idiot.

Okay, maybe
just a little bit.

But, I thought about it,

and I guess a guy
can make a mistake

and learn from
that mistake, right?

If you're talking
about me, yeah.

And I will never
make the mistake
of pushing you

to do anything
you don't wanna do.

Never, never again.
I swear.

All right.
Really?

All right?

Yeah.

I'm kind of afraid
to say it again.

Don't be.

I love you.

Thanks.

[CHUCKLES]
I love you, too.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Do you wanna
get that?

No. I'm su
it's just Madison.

Hey! It's me, Madison.
The new Madison.

Madison with self-esteem.

I told Jack no.

It wasn't easy,
but I did it.

And I feel really
good about it.

So, maybe,
graduation night,

you and me,
we can go do something.

Go look for guys
together or something.

Um, okay. Call me.

I mean,
it wasn't too weird,

the senior dance, right?
We had fun.

So, maybe you two
would wanna go to
graduation with me.

I mean, Daniel,
you didn't even get to
go to your own graduation

because you graduated early.
Maybe you'd enjoy going?

Are you asking me
out on a date?

Jack.
I can't go by myself.

Your parents
are gonna be here.

That has loser
written all over it.

And taking
your ex-girlfriend and
her boyfriend wouldn't?

I'm desperate.
Then ask Madison.

Maybe she'd go with you.
She already said no.

Then find somebody else.
There are tons of girls
out there, Jack.

I can't just ask
someone new to something
important like that.

Yeah, you can.

It's a night
I'm gonna remember
for the rest of my life.

Years from now,
I'm gonna look back at
the pictures and say,

"Who is that random girl?"

The girl you took
to graduation.

Fine. Forget it.

He's a nut.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Oh, no. No.
You're not feeling
sorry for him, are you?

Well, it's
his senior year,
and I don't know...

Okay, Grace, that's it.

I can't deal
with your friends
and all their issues.

What?

I'm crazy about you. I am.

And if you want to have
a relationship with me,

it's gotta be
just you and me.

Not you and me and
Adrian and the neighbors.

Or you and me and Jack.

Or you and me
and your mother.

It's gotta be
just you and me.

+

Alice, are you okay?

Yeah, thanks,
Mr. Boykewich.

I'm just waiting
on Ben to get home.
If you don't mind.

No. No, I don't mind.

[CRYING]

Henry broke up with me.

What? You two have
been together forever.

I know. But when
we go to college,

he wants to go
to separate colleges.

That's a whole
year away from now.

I know.

He broke up with me
a year in advance.

He just ruined
my senior year.
Maybe even my life.

Don't cry, Alice.
It'll be okay.

I'll find Ben for you
and get him over here.

It's just that I've never
dated anyone else.

I'm gonna have
to start all over.

I don't wanna
start all over.

I want Henry.
And Henry doesn't want me.

"Would you mind calling me?
I would really like to talk
to you. Love, Leo."

I'll have
the usual.

I'll just have
some bread. Thanks.

Ugh. I can't eat.
I still feel sick.

Did you think
this through, Henry?

No.
I didn't think it through.

It's just been
in the back of
my mind for months

and then all of a sudden
it was out of my mouth.

I was gonna wait
until this time next year.

You were gonna
wait until next year

knowing this is how
you feel about Alice?

I know, I know.

I feel guilty about
even having sex with her
these past few months.

But it's not that
I don't love her.
It's just that...

[SIGHS]

I don't think
I love her enough

to think about making
any kind of commitment.

Well, you two
were friends before
you ever got together,

so I'm sure
you'll be friends again.

My mom said,
"Friends to lovers forever.

"Lovers to friends, never."

Never heard that one.

Yeah. Me neither.

But I think
she might be right.

Alice isn't gonna
want to be my friend.

But you two
should be friends.

Of course.

Not too close of a friend.

Henry, I would never...

Yeah, you say that now,

but you're vulnerable
and she's vulnerable.

Henry, no.
It's not gonna happen.

Don't let it happen, please.

You're... You're not
thinking right.

Henry, you're
my best friend.

So is Alice.

I wish
you'd talked to me
before this happened.

Maybe I could have
done something.

I don't want
you to do anything.

I hate that
this is happening,
but it had to happen.

I can't just keep
screwing up my SATs.

Oh, hi.
Hi.

I didn't realize
you'd be here.

I can go do something else.
Oh, no, that's okay.

I think I might be
here for a few days.

I have this
really huge project

and I can't
drive back and forth
or I'll never get it done.

But I think
once it's done,

I might be taking
a little vacation.

Good for you.

So where's our old man?

Oh, he's taking Robie
and Moose for a walk.

I don't how you did it.

I mean,
he's a little immature,
for lack of a better word.

Yeah.
Charming, but immature.

You're right.
I don't think there
really is a better word.

But you must
love him, right?

I mean, you had
three children with him,
so you must really love him.

I guess.

But not enough to be
with him every day.

It might be love,
but it's a really low flame.

Got it.

And you?
Don't you have a girlfriend?

Someone who works
with Ruben or something?
Amy told me.

Yeah. Didn't work out.

Turns out I'm immature.

[LAUGHS] Well, then,
you and George should
make good roommates.

You sure you don't mind
if I stay here?

Oh, I don't mind.
I don't know how Ashley
will feel when she gets home.

Do you have any idea
when that will be?

I talk to her
on the phone every night.

I think she might be
getting a little bored,

but I also don't think
she'll ever be back here.

Ashley's wanted
to be someplace else
since she was 13 years old.

So maybe she'll get
her own apartment,

or, best case scenario,
she'll wanna go to college.

She's really a smart girl.

She's got a smart mother.

Hey, thanks for
sticking around.

Couldn't have
got that delivery
put away without you.

No problem.
Just doing my job.

Yeah. Where is
Prince Boykewich today?

I don't know.
You don't know?

Said he had
personal business.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hey, Ricky.
Hey, Bunny.

Hey, little man.

Daddy.

He had a really
good day today.

He was outside
running around all day,

so he's gonna sleep
really good tonight.

Oh, great.

I stopped by and picked up
your favorite movie you've
always wanted me to see.

Seven Samurai?
Yes. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, good one. Enjoy that.

[CHUCKLES] And I stopped by
the new Chinese restaurant
on the corner, and guess what?

What?

They have those
scallion pancakes.

Yeah. The ones you liked
from the Chinese place
in New York.

Thought that
Chinese food would go
really good with the movie,

so I ordered dinner.
And I'm buying.

Wow. Thanks.

But you know,
samurai are Japanese,
not Chinese,

not that it matters.

Oh.

There aren't any
sushi places around.

I'd rather have
Chinese anyway.

Okay.

Well, then, I guess
I'll see you upstairs.

What if we all put on
our pajamas right away,
wouldn't that be fun?

I don't have pajamas.
I know.

So, you got her just where
you want her, don't you?

What?
What's going on?

Nothing.
Life is good.

I know you.
You're up to something.

No, she's up
to something.

She's trying to get
a proposal out of me.

And?
And I intend
to enjoy that.

Yeah, well,
don't take that too far.

I won't.
I really love Amy.

Are you gonna
propose to her?

I'd tell you, but I know
you don't like to discuss
personal business at work.

Night, Bunny.
