The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 6 - Don't Go in There - full transcript

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

You know, I think we have
to do something about
these sleeping arrangements.

Our bed in the living room
like I suggested before?

Or get a couch
that pulls out or something.

Does it make you sad
to be in here?

I don't come in this room.

I need you to help me
get rid of everything
in this nursery.

What do you wanna do
with all that stuff?

My dad's got you
working for him today?

Honored to be here.

This is my first job back.



After I lost a baby.

I told you what
Adrian called me about,

now you tell me what
Adrian called you about.

She's got some crazy
plan she's come up with

and you're playing
right into it.

I'm gonna have
another baby.

You took everything
out of here without
even telling me?

I thought you'd be happy.

She was my
daughter, too!

I want you to come over
to my apartment sometime,

but I want your mom
to know where you are.

I broke up with Madison.
I'm still in love with you.

I'm sorry we're late.
You're drunk?

(MOANS)



You go to bed
and I'll do the laundry.

When I'm finished,
I'll get in bed with you.

ADRIAN:
I've been thinking about you.

And I know you've
been thinking about me.

Haven't you?

Get up, get out, go home,

apologize to Adrian
and go to school!

Now!

(GROANS)

Wouldn't it be great
if the past three years just
turned out to be a dream

and today's the first
day of high school?

Yeah.

Good morning.

You already showered?

I was hoping we
could shower together.

This house is having
a crazy effect on you,
you know that?

Is it?

It must be
all the space.

Maybe.

But we better not
get used to that.

We better get used
to no space

and sleeping
on our new couch
in the living room.

(SQUEALS)
I can't wait to see it.

I can't wait
to sleep on it.

With you.

Hmm. John fell
back asleep.

He was tired
this morning.

I'm not.

(LAUGHS) Come on,
we have to get going.

We have to get to school.

And you have
that interview today.

We've got
plenty of time.

I'm not worried
about the interview.

Either they let me
in to that school
or they don't.

If they don't, then you're
going to be away at school
while John and I are here.

I'll drive back
and forth every day.

You can't do that.

I can do anything
I have to do.

Okay, well,
then you have to ace
that interview

because it's really
too late to apply
anywhere else.

So, come on,
let's get going.

We have to get
John fed before
he goes to the nursery.

And you still have to
stop by the apartment to
get your books and things.

My books and things
are in the car.

I actually thought
I might get some
studying done last night.

But you didn't.

No, I didn't.

And yet, I still
managed to learn
a little something.

(LAUGHING) Stop!

You're making me blush.

Are you sure
we can't have just a few
more minutes to ourselves?

I'm sure.

(SIGHS) I love you, Amy.

I love you, too, Ricky.

Adrian?

Adrian?

Adrian!

Great.

* 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

(SIGHS)

Oh, uh, good morning.

You look funny.
What's wrong
with you?

You're pale.
No, no. Paler.

I uh, got some pastries
on my way to school.

Pastries?
BOTH: No, thanks.

I just need
a little something
to settle my stomach.

Were you drunk
at Geoff's last night?

We heard you passed
out on the floor

and some waiter
had to carry you out
to your dad's car.

Yes.

Which brings me to,

I need a place to stay.

So, that's true?
You actually got drunk
and passed out at Geoff's?

Yeah, it is true.
But where'd you hear that?

Some freshman was
there with his parents.

He got a picture
on his phone
and sent it around.

Darn camera phones.

I need a place to stay.

Why exactly
do you need
a place to stay?

My dad kicked me
out of my old room,

and I don't really
like my new room.

Since when?
Since always.

And besides, I can't
go back there, anyway.

I said some things
to Adrian that I
probably shouldn't have.

But, hey, I mean
if that's what it
took to get me out,

then (CHUCKLES) so be it.

What things?
What did you
say to Adrian?

Oh, I'm not gonna
repeat that stuff.

It was ugly.
Really ugly.

And I'm sure
it was very hurtful
and for that, I'm sorry,

but I'm not sorry I left.

I definitely
will apologize,

but I am not
going back there.

Did she say or do anything
to you that made you say
these things to her?

Are you kidding?

Oh, Ben. At least
you could have waited
until school is out.

This is not a good time
to leave Adrian.

You're right, Alice.
It's not a good time
to leave Adrian,

but later would be
a worse time.

And it's not a debate.

I left.

I'm a free man.

I'm a free man
with no place to live,
so how about it?

Hey, can I
talk to you?

Alone?

Did you, uh,
talk to Adrian?

Yeah, I talked to her
yesterday afternoon

when we were
taking everything
out of the nursery.

It's okay, Grace.

What's okay?

I know that you didn't know
that I didn't know
about the nursery.

What!

I didn't know
that you and Amy
helped Adrian

take everything
out of the nursery.

Adrian didn't tell me.
I didn't know.

(SCOFFS)
That's not what
you wanted?

No, that's not
what I wanted.

Oh.

And Adrian probably
told you about all the
horrible things I said.

What horrible things?

I'll let Adrian
tell you, then.

But hopefully she won't.

Have you talked to Adrian
in the past hour?

No. Why?

I moved out.

When?
In the past hour.

Yeah, I slept over
at my dad's house
last night

and I went over
to the condo this morning
and got some of my stuff.

And she can have
anything else
that's left there.

I don't want
any of that stuff.

What?

I'm really sorry
about the nursery.

Hey.

Hey, how's Madison
this morning?

I don't know. You tell me.

I don't know.
Why don't you know?

Because we broke up
last night.

Oh.

You didn't know
we broke up last night?

No, but I'm not surprised.

Madison didn't call you
or text you?

Not about that, no.

But she and I were
expecting it so it's
not that big a deal.

I just got tired of
her being paranoid.

Paranoid, huh?
Yeah.

I don't think
she's paranoid.

Madison still insists
I'm in love with Grace.

You are in love with Grace.
You're obsessed with Grace.

You've even managed
to get yourself a bedroom
right next to Grace.

You're like a stalker.

No, I'm not.
I'm like a boarder.

I'm just living
in Grace's house.

Hey, did you guys hear
that Ben moved out?

Moved out of where?

He and Adrian split up.

He left her.

Does Amy
know about this?

I don't know.
But Ben told me,
so I know it's the truth.

Would Amy be
interested in knowing
this for some reason?

No.

Oh, no.

The rule of three.

Break-ups
come in threes.

Jack and Madison is one.
Adrian and Ben is two.

Who's gonna be three?

No, no, forget it.
It is not gonna be
me and Daniel.

(SCOFFS)

I was just wondering,
uh, are you and
Daniel exclusive?

Yeah. We are.

Why?

I don't know.
Just, uh...

It just looked like
you were looking at me.

(SCOFFS)

No, I was not
looking at you.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, look who's here.

Grant. My friend Grant.

How are you,
old buddy, old pal?

I'm good.

I was wondering
if I could get some
advice from you.

About something.

Why not?
Why not?

Because he really
doesn't want your
advice about anything.

He's just butting in
on our conversation.

Our conversation
was over.

Yeah?

You think Heidi Richmond
would go out with me?

You wanna go out
with that slut?

Why do you care?

Because she's a slut.

I thought you hated
that word.

I thought you never
wanted to hear that word.

I don't.

But you can't go
from me to a slut.

It'll make people
think that I'm a slut

and that you're
only after one thing.

That's why I asked.
I don't know stuff like that.

Oh, please.
That is so lame.

When did Ben
tell Grace that
he left Adrian?

This morning.

Did you see the picture
of Ben drunk and
passed out at Geoff's?

Mr. Boykewich is
standing over him,

and he looks like
he's gonna kill him.

Wait, what? No.
Ben? Drunk?

I'll forward it to you.
No, no, no. Don't.

I don't want it.
Where did you get it from?

From that kid
I'm tutoring.
He's a freshman.

Lauren, that's terrible.

Maybe it was photoshopped.
Mr. Boykewich would
never let Ben drink,

and even if he did
let him have a little
taste of something,

he would never let him
keep drinking until he got
drunk and passed out.

The proof is
in the picture.

All right, well...

Maybe Ben did go out
and do something stupid.

But I'm sure that
he and Adrian
will figure things out.

Are you?
Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.
Hmm.

(SIGHS) Although
Ben did seem a little
nostalgic last night.

You saw him last night?

Yeah, he came by
the church nursery.

A sentimental item of his
got packed up with
the rest of the stuff,

so he came by to pick it up
just as I was leaving.

He wasn't drinking
and he wasn't drunk.

What sentimental item?

Um, it was a teddy bear
that his mother gave him.

He's in the picture.
The teddy bear.

Oh. I almost forgot.

Madison broke up with Jack.

Finally.
Yeah.

(SCOFFS)

So, what's going on?
Why do you ask?

You just had to do it,
didn't you?

You just had to go
and screw everything up.

It's too soon to leave Adrian.
You know it's too soon.

You know how you
know it's too soon?

You had to get
drunk to do it.

You got drunk and
passed out in public?

Yes. But I was
stone-cold sober

when I packed up my bags
and left this morning.

Well, go back home
and unpack your bags.

Because it'll
create problems
for you if I don't?

No, because it's
the right thing to do.

Adrian has been
through enough

without you doing
something stupid like this.

(SCOFFS) You know,
that was the problem
with Adrian and me.

We were always doing
something stupid.

Getting pregnant,
getting married,
stuff like that.

But we're not
gonna be doing
anything stupid again.

Ever.

What the hell?

Just when
you thought you
were safe, huh?

Be nice.

Hi. What are
you doing here?

Hi.

I decided to come
back to school.

Just like you've
been telling me to.

No, I haven't.

(LAUGHS)
Yes, you have.

Adrian,
I'm leaving you.
No, I've left.

I went by our place
and got my things.

I know.

Then what are you doing?

Well, I'm not
letting you go.

We're married.

And I love you.

Hi.

Hi, Ricky.

Yeah. Hi.

Are you sure
about this?

I'm sure.

I still feel really nervous
about leaving the children.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, no,
what I meant was

the children seem
to be getting on
your nerves lately.

I wouldn't go,

but they make
all new employees go to
this stupid orientation.

I know. Go.
We'll be fine.

They're both really excited.

They love you, Tom.

Just try and be patient
with them, all right?

All right, already.
Trust me, everything
will be fine.

Then that's what I'll do.
I'll trust you.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

(SIGHS)

Good morning.
Good morning.

Now, don't worry,
I won't forget
to pick up the kids.

Thank you, Kathleen.

But uh, do you think
the kids will really
be okay with Tom?

Well, I'm picking
them up from school,

and they'll be
here with me until
Tom gets home.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

(EXHALES)

Rachel, don't feel guilty.

You have to go
to this orientation.

You got a new job,
and it's a great job.

You should go and
be excited about it
and have fun.

Don't worry about anything.
I'll be right here.

Thank you for everything.
You're welcome.

Bye.

I didn't know I was
supposed to be here.

I thought you
didn't want me here.

Move. Get out of there.
I'll take over now.

I don't think
this looks good.
You, sitting there.

You don't look good
no matter where you're sitting
now that I look at you.

What's going on?
Good morning.

Yeah, only I have
a feeling it's not.

I like people
to say "good morning"
in the morning.

Good morning.

I know we have had
a couple of problems.

But the thing is, I gotta
keep some personal
business personal.

I don't want it to get
around everywhere,

so, I thought maybe
you could come back
and we could try it again.

Yeah, we'll see.

Yeah, we'll see.

It was a compliment.
"Pussycat."

I don't like it.
(GROANS)

Not gonna happen again.

See that it doesn't.

Hey, does this job
pay more than
the butcher shop?

Probably.

Probably?

I'm sure it does,
but you don't
have the job yet.

Well, I didn't say
I'd take the job yet.

I understand that.

(PHONE RINGING)

Boykewich International,
how may I help you?

He let you come back?

Yeah.

Would you like
to speak with him?

Ben? No. No.

Huh.

Dad?
You better be at school.

I am. I am at school.
And you know who else
is at school?

Adrian.

Adrian.
Good.

Good for Adrian.

You two make up
and let her finish
the year and graduate.

We've made up.
But Dad, I moved
out this morning.

I'm not going
back there tonight.

Oh, yeah, you are.

No. I'm not.

What are you gonna do?

Live in the park
and drink every night?

Unless you let me
come home, that might
be what I have to do.

Excuse me?

You are not going
to take another drink
again anytime soon.

And you are not going
to live in the park,

and you are not going
to live with me and Betty
or one of your friends.

You are going to live
in the condo that I bought
for you and your wife

until you can afford
to be on your own.

And just to remind you,
your car is in my name.

You don't own the car.

And you can't touch
your trust fund for many,
many years to come,

so you don't have
any money.

(STAMMERS) I have
some money, Dad.

I have a checking account.

With my name on it.
I could transfer
the funds out

and shut down
your credit cards.

And I will if I hear
that you've moved out

or if you're drinking
or smoking dope or
doing anything else stupid.

I see what you mean
about the personal
business part.

Do you?

Because the last time
you talked to my son,

you told him
he didn't have to do
what I told him.

And he went out
and he got drunk

and he showed up at the
restaurant 20 seconds
before he passed out.

I don't like that.

Okay, I don't like
drinking. I'm in AA.

Should I know that?
Isn't it Alcoholics Anonymous?

Well, yeah,
but everyone
knows I'm in AA.

Look, I got my chip
on a chain here, see?

I can talk to him
if you want.

About the dangers
of alcohol.

About not
getting started.

He's already started,
and he better damn
well be finished.

He's my son.
I'll talk to him.

(SIGHS)

Ben just wouldn't
let me do it.

He tried
to be supportive,

but he really didn't
want me to go to
cosmetology school.

He felt like it would
be a waste of my time

and if I did that,
that I might not come
back and finish high school

and go to college.

I am so relieved.

And I'm so happy to see you.
I mean, you look great.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Well, I still have
a few pounds to lose.

But I've just
been so depressed

and eating way too much
of the wrong things.

But Ben got me
to start walking.

He even walks
with me sometimes.

Oh, that's nice.

Yeah, it is.

I like to walk
alone, too, though.

It gives me time
to think about what's
really important in life.

Like family.

(LAUGHS) I'm so blessed
to be married to him.

Uh-huh.

You know, there's
a picture going around
from phone to phone

of Ben passed out drunk
last night at Geoff's.

Is that what
people are saying?

(SCOFFS)

I can't believe it.

I can't believe
people would say that
my Ben was drunk.

He doesn't drink.

Look, he ate ceviche,

had a bad reaction to it
and bam. On the floor.

You know, I would
have met them down at
the emergency room,

but, um, I just...

I can't go near
a hospital right now.

I'm sure.

And I am so sorry.

But I am happy to see
that you are back.

And I have
already met with
two of your teachers,

and it'll probably take me
the rest of the day

to meet with the rest
of your teachers,

but I want to see
if we can still find a way

for you to graduate
this summer.

Wait, really?

Uh, I would have to go
to school this summer?

Is there a way
I could not go
to summer school

and still graduate on time?

I'd really like to graduate
with my class.

I don't think
that's possible,

being that there's only
six weeks of school left,

but we should
stay focused on
the bigger picture,

which is going
to college in the fall.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Gotta keep that
bigger picture in mind.

It would be nice to go
to college in the fall.

So, if, uh, summer school
is what I have to do,

then that's what
I have to do.

I am so proud of you.

I really hope you're
proud of yourself.

I am.

I'm stronger
than anyone knew.

I'm even stronger
than I knew.

Stronger and crazier.

Well, hello.

Ricky?

Are you okay?

I just wasn't
expecting you.

No one was.

Did you get my message?

No, I didn't exactly.

I got it,
but I erased it.

I don't want any messages
from you, Adrian.

I'm sorry about what
happened to you, but...

But what?

But we can't be friends.

Okay, then we won't
be friends.

We were never
really friends.

No, we weren't.

I just came in here
to get a name
from the counselor.

I have an interview today.

I'm trying to get
into a local college
so I can live at home

with Amy and John.

Well, come on, then,
sit and wait.

Aw, I won't bite.

No, thanks,
I'll just wait outside.

Okay, well, it was
good to see you.

Yeah. You, too.
Take care.

I'm sorry about
what happened.

Yeah, you said that.

Hi, Ricky, I didn't forget.

I was rushing
back to meet you.

I was just trying
to arrange Adrian's
schedule for her.

I just need to know
who I'm meeting
with in Admissions.

Yeah, I got the name
for you this morning

and I think you're
gonna be really happy.

It's someone you know.

And I think she
probably went through the
stack of late applications,

saw yours, pulled it
and called me.

Who do I know in Admissions?

Toby's stepsister?

Toby, Ashley's study buddy?

Karlee Carmichael?

Do you know her?
She used to teach at
the community college,

and then she got
a job in Admissions.

She's pursuing her PhD there.

Well, I'm sure
she's not gonna call you
in just to turn you down.

No. Probably not.

So, good luck!
And get going.

She's expecting you
and you don't
want to be late.

Is everything okay?

I don't know.

I can't believe
you baked me a cake!

Chocolate is my favorite.

(LAUGHS) I remember.

I miss those Wednesday
night potluck dinners.

Oh, I know. So do I.

And we tried to
keep them going,

but without you there,
it just wasn't the same.

The food was still good,
but, no, not the conversation.

You just had
such a practical
approach to things.

Well, thank you.
I like to think so.

So, any chance
you'll come back?

Now, I'm not asking
because I want Jack
out of the house.

I'm okay with him here.
I even like him here.

You know, especially
with my husband away.

Oh! (LAUGHS)
That didn't sound right.

But I don't know,
it's just nice having
a man in the house.

You know, with Tom
in the guest house.

Okay. (CHUCKLES)
that just made it worse.

Well, you've been
so generous to allow
Jack to stay here.

Oh, I think
it's been good for Tom.

You know, it made him feel
more like a grown-up.

Well, so grown-up
he got himself a family.

Think that'll last?

Mmm-mmm. Not likely.

Rachel just got
a new job, a good job.

So, she'll probably
move out as soon
as she can afford it.

And Tom would
go with them?

Not likely.

He's not as happy about
being a parent as
he thought he would be.

Few people are,
very few people are.

So?

So, yes.
I am coming back to
the church this summer.

And next fall,
I'm going to teach as well,

at one of the
local high schools.

I am so happy
to hear you say that.

I hope you and your family
will come back to the church.

Especially...

Especially Jack.

(LAUGHS) You were
going to say Grace.

So, let's just go with
especially Jack and Grace.

So, Grace's new boyfriend
is a college fella, I hear.

(BELL RINGING)

Hey!

Oh, hey.
Did you hear?

Adrian's back.

See, they're not
splitting up.
I had a feeling.

No, she's not back with Ben.
She's back at school.

She came back to school?
She came back to school.

(SCOFFS)

You know,
she probably got angry
with Ben for leaving

and that's what motivated
her to come back.

Why does she always do
everything out of anger

instead of just
doing things like
everyone else does?

Why can't she just go
to summer school?

I can.

I'm gonna finish the year
and go to summer school.

Hey, Adrian.

Welcome back.

Okay, I'll let
you two talk.

Hi.

Once again, I am...

I don't really know
what to say other
than I'm sorry.

You know,
when you came
back to school,

the entire girl student body
met you at the door.

And the high school
band played

while everyone walked
you down the hall
to your first class.

Um, actually that was
when I was pregnant.

But when I came back
after I had John...

Ben came with you
and held your hand.

Right.

You know, I'm not
angry with anyone.

Other than maybe God,
for not letting me
keep the baby.

I'm really
embarrassed, Adrian.

And again, I'm so sorry.

Oh, uh, I ran into Ricky
while I was in the
counselor's office.

He has an interview today.

Yeah.

And I found out
from Miss O'Malley

that it's at a college
where I've been accepted.

Isn't that great?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's great.

Wouldn't it be great
if we could all end up
at the same college?

Yeah,

wouldn't it?

So, um, you were never
really going to go to
cosmetology school?

No, I was.
But Ben didn't
really want me to go.

So, I changed my mind.

Well, good decision
on his part. And yours.

Come in. I've been
expecting you.

Thanks.

Thanks for the interview.

I'd really like
to go to school here.

I'm living with Amy now,
and my son, so...

This would be
really good for me.

Not to mention
that it's my first choice
because it's a good school.

And you've got
a good business program.

And I wanna major
in business.

Oh, come on, Ricky,
cut the crap.

It's not a real interview.

What is it?

It's just the only way
I could figure out
how to see you again.

I knew Amy and John
were living with you.

But you're not married.

And I doubt you'll
be getting married.

And I'm guessing
that by now,

you have to be feeling
a little restless, no?

No.

So, you don't want to
christen my new office?

I haven't had the chance
to do anything non-business
related in my office.

Don't do this, all right?

I'm not gonna do
anything with you.

And I really do need
to get into school here.

I know you have
a lot of applicants,

but I have high SAT scores,
and I have a high
grade point average...

I can't, okay? I can't.

You can if you want
to get into school here.

The first time too many
teenagers have the sex talk
with their parents

is when they're telling them
that they are pregnant.

Parents, if your teen
has a question about sex

don't assume that
they're doing it.

And teens,
if your parents aren't
talking to you about sex,

don't assume
they don't care.

Teen pregnancy
is 100% preventable.

Start talking.

Tammy!

You called?

Did you have that
on this morning?

Yes.

Hmm. I don't know
if that's appropriate

for the workplace.

I could take it off.

What!
You're a married woman.

Woman!

(SIGHS) I'm bored.

I tell you what I'll do.

I'll send you to a seminar
on sexual harassment.

I thought I was doing
a good job of that.

It is against the law.

Sorry. I thought it was
just human nature.

I'll get back to you.

You know where
my cubicle is.

Hey, hey, we need to talk.

I'm sure we'll have plenty
of time to talk at home.

No, we need to talk
before you get home.

My dad was at your
house earlier today.

And?

And he may have mentioned

that you have
a new boyfriend
that's in college.

What?

He didn't know your
mom didn't know.

And how did he know?

I mentioned it
when I was telling him that
I broke up with Madison.

And he asked me if
I was still trying to get
back together with you

and I said, no,
you have a new boyfriend.

"Who's in college?" Jack!

I'm sorry. I can talk
to her if you want.

You've talked
enough already.
(SIGHS)

Well, I guess Adrian and Ben
didn't break up.
She's back at school...

No, they're still broken up.
I just talked to Ben.

I talked to Adrian.

Interesting.
She must be avoiding me.

Why's that?
None of your business.

You know something.
I can tell.

Yeah, and if I told you,
you'd tell your dad

and then the whole
world would know!

Adrian, hi.

I've been looking
for you all day.

Oh, well,
I've mostly been in
the counselor's office.

We're trying to set
up my schedule.

Well, I'm really happy
that you're back.

Hmm, yeah.

I wish I could say
I'm happy I'm back.

But I'm just doing
what I have to do.

Have to do?

To get Ben to...
Well, you know.

Adrian, I heard
that he left.

He told me.

Yeah, well, um,
he didn't come
home last night,

but he'll be back.

Adrian, you can't just...

Don't say it.

I can and I will.

And it's none
of your business if
I have another baby.

Well, I wish that you
had never told me that.

Yeah, me, too.
But I did.

And I did because
you're my best friend.

And I know you won't
tell Ben or anyone else.

(PHONE RINGING)

Counselor's office.

Miss O'Malley,
is that you?

Yeah?

This is Karlee Carmichael
in Admissions.

Karlee, I thought we were
on a first name basis.

How are you?
How'd it go?

I really don't know
how to tell you this.

Tell me what?

I'm very sorry,
but I just don't think
Ricky Underwood

is the type of student
we want here on campus.

Hey, I heard
you dumped the broad.
Good for you.

I almost got trapped
the same way.

Turned out
she was lying.

He never should
have married her
in the first place.

She probably got pregnant
just to get his money.

It probably wasn't
even his baby.

He's an idiot.
He drinks.

No wonder they
lost the baby.

He does not drink.
Ben Boykewich
does not drink.

He passed out
from a bad reaction
to shellfish, you idiot.

And he didn't cause
us to lose the baby,

we just lost the baby, okay?

It happens.
And it happened to us.

And you're an ass.

And I would wish
the same would happen to you
when you have a baby,

but I don't wish
that on anyone.

Eh, what are
you gonna do?
People talk.

Yeah. They do talk.

And there's not much
we can do about that.

Unfortunately.

I apologize, Adrian,
for all the things
I said to you.

That's okay.

It made me really angry,

but what you
said was true.

No, it's not true.

I'm as much to blame
as you are, and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for what I said
and I'm sorry for what
happened to us.

But I really do want out.

You're out.

I mean, you took
your things.

You're out.

Of course, it would be nice
if you would come back

and wait until I was
out of high school.

If you could wait
until I went off to
college next fall.

And, well, maybe
between now and then,

we could live in our condo.

And not as
husband and wife,

but as friends.

(CRYING) Well,
because I hope we can
at least be friends.

I mean, we were friends
before we were married

and I need you
to be my friend.

I mean, I don't know
if I can always
be strong like today.

But I'm going to try.

And if being angry
is what gets me
through all this,

then being angry
works better for me than
feeling sorry for myself.

If you could just
think about it.

About living with me
as a friend.

And if, for today,

you could just walk
down the hall with me
and out that door,

holding my hand,

the way you did for Amy
when she came back to school
after having John.

Goodnight, Mom. Love you.

Goodnight. Love you!
Miss you! Here's Tom.

Thank you so much
for staying with
the children, Tom.

They sound so happy.
They're having such
a nice time with you.

We grilled hamburgers
and made a fort
in the backyard

and played horseshoes.

Oh, I wanna do that.

I wanna eat
a grilled hamburger

and build a fort
and play horseshoes.

It's a lot of work.

I'm sure, but thank you.

Thank you for
doing all that.

(SIGHS) Goodnight.

Hi.
Hi.

Listen, okay,

I know that this
is going to sound
like a come-on,

but haven't I seen you
somewhere before?

You're right.
That does sound
like a come-on.

No, seriously, it's...

Oh, my God, you're...

Tom's desk!
You are the photo on
Tom Bowman's desk.

Oh, God.
You're Milton, aren't you?

What do you mean,
"Oh, God"?

Does my reputation
precede me?

You're Tom's boss.
Yes.

You hired Tom to keep
people from suing you.

Yes, because Tom is a...
He's a human resource savant.

(CHUCKLES)
He is.

Do you mind if I sit down?

Oh, I don't know.

It's the first time
I think I've ever been
in a hotel bar.

Oh, don't worry about it.
You're a natural.

What?
I'm joking. I'm joking.

Actually, you kind of
look like a hooker
sitting here all by yourself.

I do?
Just a little.

Would you like to have
some dinner with me?

Come on. I'm buying.

Dinner. Not you.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hi.

Daniel.
I am.

And you must
be Grace's mom.

I am. I'm Kathleen.

And Grace is upstairs.
She's on restriction

because she failed
to let me know that
you're in college.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

What's so funny
about that?

I don't know.

You'd rather her
be out with a high school
dropout, or Jack?

Well, I don't like
Grace dating a guy

who has his own apartment
and is in college.

I'm only 18.

I know that.
Grace told me.

But she should
have told me that
you're living alone

in your own apartment
and that you're
not in high school.

And this isn't about you.

This is about Grace
and trusting Grace.

I told her to tell you,
and she should have told you.

So, I completely
understand why
she's on restriction.

Although I have to say
I haven't known a girl
on restriction in years.

Well, she's on restriction.

Well, Grace just wanted
me to stop by so that
you could meet me.

And you could see
that I'm not a bad guy.

I never said you were.

However, I do think

that you should know
a girl a lot better
before you sleep with her.

Probably should know
her family a lot
better as well.

All right. Do you
wanna come in?

Well, I think I just
saw Grace sneak behind your
back and go into the kitchen.

Probably to go
out the back door

and down the driveway
and get into my car.

Is that what
you two planned?

No, ma'am.
I'm just guessing.

Okay, so,

we're just gonna
leave Grace sitting in
your car out on the street?

(CHUCKLING)
Don't you think
that'd be funny?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Actually it would.

Do you want a hamburger?

We grilled
hamburgers for dinner.
We have a few left.

Sure.
This is better
than restriction.

Oh, is it?
Or is it in addition
to restriction?

Yes. In addition.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yeah?
What happened?

I saw Daniel
go in the house.

Your mother's
making him dinner.

What?

She's making him dinner.

No! Shh,
then be quiet!

She offered him
a hamburger.

(SIGHS) And he
took her up on it?

Maybe he didn't see me.

Go down there
and pull him aside

and tell him
I'm waiting in the car.

All right.
Should I do that or
should I hand him a note?

No, just go down there,
and quietly tell him
I'm waiting for him.

I don't think so.

That should be good.

I'm thinking
we don't have
to do anything

just because
we got a new bed.

I know you said
you're really tired.

Yeah, so?

So, we've got the rest
of our lives together.

Okay.

The interview didn't
go that well, did it?

You've been grouchy
all night.

No, I haven't.

No, it didn't go well.
I don't wanna talk about it.

Maybe it went better
than you thought.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Is that your phone?
I think someone's
calling you.

Hi.
Ricky? Katelyn.

Who?
The school counselor?

Oh.

I was gonna wait
and tell you at
school tomorrow,

but I decided
I shouldn't wait.

I wanted to let you know
that I did talk to Admissions,
and, um...

Unfortunately,
they're not going
to accept you.

Thanks for calling.

Wait. Wait, uh,
I wanted to ask
you something.

Oh, God.

Did you do anything

that would make
Karlee maybe...

Possibly interpret it
as flirting with her?

What?

She said something
to that effect.

What exactly
did she say?

She said you tried
to have sex with her.

Ricky?

That's not true, is it?

Just tell me that's not true.

What difference
does it make?

If that's what she said,
then you're not
gonna believe me.

Ricky!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I'll be back.

What happened?
I'll be back, Amy.

Ricky, don't shut me out.
What happened?

I can't.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

I thought about
what you said.

And I thought about
all we've been through,

and I'd like to
be friends again.

And I want
to part friends,

when the time is right.

And maybe
we can wait until
the end of summer.

(SNIFFS)

But I'm gonna make
a bedroom for myself
where the nursery was.

Okay.

And tonight
I'm just gonna
sleep on the couch.

You don't have
to do that.

The bed is big enough
for the two of us.

I won't touch you.

I'm just gonna
sleep on the couch.

Goodnight, Adrian.

Goodnight, Ben.

Ben,

thank you.

Yes!
