Thanks for the kiss.
It taught me a lot.
Like what?
Like just because someone's
Sexually attracted to you
doesn't mean they really
love you.
I think adrian and I
should get engaged.
Not married, just engaged.
I think it'll be nice,
especially for her,
If people think
that we're engaged.
Grace, you and grant
aren't having sex, are you?
I'm thinking about it.
I don't want you
to have gateway sex.
But, mom,
I really like him.
I should think you may be ready
to make a commitment.
I just said
I slept with another woman
after telling amy I wouldn't.
You wanna have a little fun?
No.
I don't do this anymore.
One more time
before the girlfriend
comes back home?
Madison's dad isn't gonna
let us go out all summer.
You can't stand the thought of
my being with someone else even
though you have somebody else.
I wanna do the right thing
In case someday
you wanna get engaged.
Friends?
Friends.
What happened?
What are you doing here?
More important to see you
before anything happens--
Anything that would
keep us apart.
Hey.
You didn't have to do that.
I had to do that.
I know what they have to eat
on those flights.
You have to be hungry.
It's almost 11:00.
I should've just said
I'm starving.
Thank you.
[chuckles]
You gonna
have something, too?
I'm not hungry.
What'd you have for dinner?
Same thing.
Sandwich.
I went over to my apartment
And started getting things
ready to move back in,
So I just had a sandwich
from the butcher shop.
Oh?
Yeah.
What do you mean, "oh?"
Don't you believe me?
Well, I believe you,
or I wanna believe you,
But I just can't picture
what you'd be doing
At your apartment
to get ready to move back in.
Just stuff.
I cleaned up.
I'm not over there every day,
so there was stuff to clean up.
I see.
I don't think you do see.
What stuff was there
to clean up?
What were you doing,
dusting?
I might've been.
I dust.
Do you?
Amy, I can't just
hang out here
All day and all night
with your family.
I can't.
I've done
the best I can, all right?
And if you wanna accuse me
of having sex with another girl,
Just come out and say it.
Just come out and say
what you're thinking.
You know I've been working
on that the last few weeks.
Yes, I know.
You told me.
I've been listening
to all the teenage mothers
And their stories about
how their boyfriends reacted
Once they decided
they wanted a real commitment
And not just a promise
to help out.
Well, I'm not
their boyfriend.
You're not even my boyfriend.
I want you to be my boyfriend,
but you know that, so
What I'm thinking is
Maybe you went out and had sex
With anyone you could
have sex with
Just because you knew
you only had a week
until I got home.
And maybe I didn't.
But I can if I want.
Yeah, I guess.
I didn't say I wasn't
gonna have sex with other girls.
You said I'd have to quit
having sex with other girls
If I wanna have sex with you.
Maybe I don't wanna
have sex with you.
No offense.
Maybe I'm just not ready
to be in an exclusive
relationship with you.
I-- I didn't say
I was ready to do that--
just be with you.
All right.
Maybe you're not,
and maybe you are.
Just keep your voice down.
I don't wanna wake up
everyone in the house.
Look, you're tired.
It's late.
You go to bed,
and I'll just go home
to my apartment.
[sighs]
You wanna fit one more girl in
before we finish this
discussion?
How do you do it?
How do you just go out
at midnight,
Or whatever time it is,
And find some girl to go home
and have sex with you?
Is that what
you were gonna do?
No.
I was just gonna
go home and go to sleep,
Because I don't feel
like talking to you anymore.
I should've known
that weekend in new york
was too good to be true.
I knew you'd run from me
the second either one of us
Showed any real feelings
toward the other one.
I'm right here.
I'm not running.
Not yet.
But another
five minutes of this,
and I will.
I really don't feel
like talking about this.
If you're not ready to be
in an exclusive relationship
with me, that's fine.
You're not ready.
I'm ready for that kind
of relationship,
But you're not,
so maybe we could just date.
What do you mean?
I mean date.
You call me and ask me out
or I call you and ask you out,
And we go to dinner
or go see a movie
Or you, me, and john
go to a circus.
I don't really care
just as long as we're dating.
I don't date, amy.
I'd rather join a circus
than date.
Dating is what guys do when
they're trying to get a girl
to have sex.
I don't have to do that.
You don't date?
I don't date.
You wouldn't date me
even if you thought dating me
Would eventually lead
to having sex with me?
No, I wouldn't.
I don't get it-- dating.
It's just a waste of time.
Thanks.
No problem.
Spend the night with me.
Please?
� 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 �
Wanna stay over?
I can't, adrian.
Um, I have to go home.
Do you ever think
about having sex with me?
You're funny.
You just had a scare
with the baby today.
How can you even think
about having sex?
I don't know.
I'm just thinking about it
for some reason.
Don't panic.
I don't mean tonight.
I mean,
sometime in the future.
We could have sex again
if we wanted.
Well, when my doctors
tell me it's safe again.
When they say it's okay.
I'm already pregnant, so
So I don't think
that your doctors
Would give you the okay
to have sex with me
Even if you weren't
having a baby.
I mean, those guys
definitely don't like me,
And I'm sure they don't want me
anywhere near you.
And I'm sure that
your father doesn't, either.
Not until there's a ring
on your finger.
Well, your other finger.
No, that's the right finger.
But you know what I mean.
An engagement ring.
And, besides,
We're under doctor's orders
to grow up,
And I'm not sure
that having sex
Just because you can't get
pregnant again
Is evidence that
we're growing up.
Who knows
what a grown-up is?
My doctors get to say
whether or not it's safe
for me to have sex.
They don't get to say
with whom.
And my dad doesn't get
to say anything at all.
I have to go, adrian.
Okay.
Another night.
Another night.
And, um, let's make it
another night
Before amy juergens
gets back from new york.
Why do you say that?
I say that because
If amy comes back here
And she gets into
a big fight with ricky,
And she decides
she doesn't want ricky
and does want you,
You'll be gone.
Of course,
I'll still have the ring.
If that happens,
you can keep the ring.
No, no.
But that's
not going to happen.
And even if it does happen,
Nothing that goes on
between amy and ricky
Is gonna change anything
between you and me.
It could happen.
In fact,
it's likely to happen.
Why?
Because amy
doesn't understand ricky
the way you understand ricky?
She doesn't.
I have to go.
I'm tired,
And I don't really care to hear
how well you know ricky.
Okay? Good night.
Good night, adrian.
I'm happy that everything
worked out today
With you and the baby.
I'm happy that you're okay
and the baby's okay.
ButGood night.
We are not gonna have sex
under the king's roof.
He'd never allow it.
He's not home.
He might come home.
Let's just get up
and get into our sleeping bags.
I don't like
the sleeping bag arrangements.
I think we're getting
too old for it.
Don't you?
We're gonna be juniors
in high school next year.
We're never gonna get
too old for it.
I love sleeping
in the sleeping bags
in ben's room.
It's one of my
favorite things in life.
It takes me back to the time
when we weren't having sex.
We were young and innocent.
We're still
young and innocent.
Young maybe.
What's so great
about being innocent?
I like having sex
with you.
No.
I love having sex
with you.
Yeah, I know.
And you?
I love having sex with you.
But how long will we love
having sex with each other?
Forever.
Or until
we graduate high school.
Not funny.
Maybe we can just sleep here
until ben gets home.
There's no harm in that--
in just sleeping.
I guess not, especially
since we don't know
If we'll be together
after high school.
That was a joke, okay?
You're going on vacation
with my family.
You're in for life.
And you're going
on vacation with my family,
And it could be over
for life.
I love you, alice.
I love you, henry.
[car door closes]
I think I heard
a car door.
Just one car door?
Yeah.
Ben.
Hey, throw the cover over us.
We'll surprise him.
[door opens]
It'll be funny.
Okay.
[chuckling]
[door closes]
[together]
surprise!
[yells]
what are you doing here?
What are you doing there
in my bed? That's my bed.
You told us
you'd be home hours ago.
[exhales forcefully]
yeah, okay.
When I wasn't,
you devised a plan
To kill me
by scaring me to death?
Sorry.
We thought
it'd be really funny,
Not that a lot of planning
went into it.
[sighs]
well, it wasn't.
It was just scary.
Just like
the rest of my life.
What's going on?
Is-- is adrian okay?
Is the baby okay?
I thought she said
everything was okay.
It's not them.
It's-- it's me.
I think I might've
screwed up, again.
[together]
what'd you do?
[knocking]
Hey.
What's going on?
I just got home.
I know.
We pulled in
right behind you,
But you took off
up the stairs.
Henry, alice.
[together]
hi.
I didn't see you.
I was just focused
on getting up here.
I wanna go to bed,
and I'm sure you do, too.
So good night, dad.
You didn't see us?
No.
I swear.
I just really
want to get to bed.
I'm exhausted.
It's been a long day.
Good night.
Wait a minute.
Is everything okay with adrian?
Everything turned out
all right, right?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Um, she asked me to stay over,
but I thought I should
come on home.
So good night.
What? Well, go back
over there if you want,
If you think adrian
needs you.
No.
She's fine.
Adrian really
doesn't need anybody.
You know adrian.
Uh-huh.
Do you know adrian?
You sure she doesn't
need anyone?
She doesn't
need you tonight?
She doesn't
need me tonight, no.
She asked me to stay,
but she's fine.
Yeah, well,
Anytime she needs you,
you be there for her, all right?
Of course.
So, uh, anything else
going on with you and adrian?
No, nothing else.
Is anything going on
with you and betty?
Had a very nice night tonight,
betty and me.
I decided not to let you,
or adrian and you,
Uh, take up too much
of our time tonight.
Tonight was about us.
Tomorrow we'll
get around to you.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Okay.
Well,
until tomorrow then.
Until tomorrow.
Good night, henry.
Good night, alice.
[together]
good night, mr.
Boykewich.
What did you do?
I gave adrian a ring.
He told you not to do that,
and we told you not to do that.
Only he told you if you did,
you're engaged.
Yes, but it's not
an engagement ring,
and we're not engaged.
You just wanted her
to have the ring before
amy gets home, didn't you?
What? No.
Giving adrian a ring
Is not gonna make amy
come back to you.
That's not why I did it.
I didn't give adrian a ring
to make amy jealous,
And she didn't take that ring
to make ricky jealous.
So why did you
give it to her?
I don't know exactly.
Why did adrian take the ring?
I don't think
she knows exactly.
Uh-oh.
I think I know.
I think you might
care about her.
Yeah.
And maybe
she cares about ben.
We don't care
about each other.
Not like that.
Then like what?
Well, like
we're having a baby.
Every day, you get deeper
into this, my friend.
If you're not careful,
you're gonna end up married.
For real this time.
You might
just be right, hank.
This time,
you might be right.
From communicating
with jack and jesse.
I mean, I'm sure there's
some way we can get to them.
Yeah, I'm sure we can,
but we're not going to.
We're on the honor system.
We agreed
not to make phone calls
Or texts or e-mails
or anything else.
Well, we didn't promise not
to call, text, or e-mail
through a third party.
You know how this works.
If we go by the rules
for a while,
Our parents will probably
shorten our sentence.
So just go by the rules
for once.
This is so unfair.
I feel like I'm in prison.
Wait.
No.
On second thought,
if we were in prison,
We would have better uniforms
than what we have to wear
to the food court.
[chuckles]
just do the time
and stop complaining about it.
Complaining about it
only makes it worse.
Yeah, it only
makes it worse.
Hi, jason.
Hi, madison.
Good night.
Thanks for dropping by.
All right.
I'll leave.
Good night, madison.
So it's another summer
at med camp, huh?
Uh, day after tomorrow.
[scoffs]
good night.
[chuckles]
I saw your boyfriends
at the party.
Good night.
Wait, wait.
Uh, what party?
What happened?
Uh, who--
who were they there with?
This could be a trap.
Don't break the rules.
Well, it's not
against the rules to just
ask about jack and jesse.
Let me see.
Uh,
They were with each other
'cause they're both losers,
And it was
the football team-cheerleaders
"get to know you" party
For the new team members
and the new cheerleaders.
I think that's where
grace met jack
A couple years ago,
isn't it?
No, they met at church.
Their first date
was at that party.
What's your point?
Yeah, what is your point,
Besides the fact that
you still haven't forgiven jack
For stealing madison from you?
Lauren, that's not true.
I mean, jason and I just
weren't even interested
in each other, right?
No, definitely not.
And I don't have a point,
okay?
I just wanted
to say good night.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Uh, jesse wanted me
to give you a message.
But I know you're not supposed
to get messages from jesse,
so I won't give it to you.
Wait.
Do you know
what the message is?
He said to tell you
he loves you.
Oh, wait.
No, that wasn't it.
He said hi.
To tell you hi.
[scoffs]
This stinks.
That's what
I'm talking about.
I wanna see
what it's like up here.
I haven't been up here since--
well, in a long time.
Since dad died.
Don't worry.
He's here.
Dad's still here with us
in the guest house.
Okay.
Now that I'm
totally creeped out,
I think I'll just
go back to where I was.
I thought you meant
you're going home.
No, I told you I'd stay here
till jack got home.
I'm fine.
You don't
have to stay out here.
I don't mind, really.
I do mind.
I'm tired.
I wanna go to bed.
What time is jack
supposed to be home?
I don't know.
He doesn't have a curfew.
Well, he left to go out
awfully late.
Where is he?
Who wants to know?
Well, I imagine madison
wants to know.
I imagine she does.
Does he have a date?
Is he dating 'cause he
and madison can't date?
They were just forced
to break up.
I can't imagine
he'd be out this soon,
but that's jack.
Just tell me where he is.
I'm not gonna pay you.
Come on.
Just tell me who he's with.
Twenty bucks!
I don't have 20 bucks on me.
I'm in my pajamas.
Go get it.
Fine.
You know,
I change my mind.
I don't wanna know
where he is.
Oh, yeah, you do.
Oh, no, I don't.
Wherever he is
and whoever he's with--
it's none of my business.
Not my problem.
And I have to say,
it doesn't bother me
If madison
spends the whole summer
worrying about jack
Like I spent the whole summer
worrying about him last summer.
And if he cheats on her,
who's gonna be surprised?
Not me.
Is he cheating
on her already?
Come on.
Just tell me where he is.
At the party.
That's where you two
First got together.
Oh.
It's not that I still
care about grace.
I just don't want
to see her get hurt.
You just don't want her
to have sex with another guy.
Yeah, that, too.
I just wish she'd wait.
Until you see if things
are gonna work out with madison?
Yeah, because I'm the only guy
grace has ever been with,
And I'd like it
to just stay that way.
Well, it's not
gonna stay that way.
Sooner or later,
grace bowman
Is gonna hook up
with some other guy, you know?
And whether that guy is grant
or some other guy
And you've been
with some other girls.
And I'm sure you're gonna be
with some more girls.
Maybe, maybe not.
"maybe not"?
[chuckles]
Do you really think that
you're gonna be with madison
for the rest of your life?
I might.
No, you won't.
Not unless you wanna stay here
and go to college.
I could do that.
Just to be with madison.
I could.
You could get into
a dozen out-of-state schools
On a football scholarship,
But you would stay here
and go to school
because of madison,
Who you're not even sure
you wanna be with,
Depending on grace
and what she does?
[quietly]
okay, that's enough.
Let him know you're here.
This isn't nice.
He isn't nice.
Grace was my first love.
Our first date
Was at that party
we were at tonight--
the football party.
I wasn't gonna go,
but then coach called--
You're the quarterback.
You're the team captain.
You're supposed to be there.
I was there.
Late.
Well, it didn't seem right
to be out partying
when madison's at home.
They couldn't go with us.
It was just for the guys
and the cheerleaders.
I know.
But, still,
if grace were to have me back
And she wanted to give it
one more shot,
I think I'd have to
go back with her.
She's not gonna do that.
Probably not.
Besides, even if she did,
You're gonna be going off
to college in a year.
Yeah, but I don't
have to go out of state.
I can go in state.
I was gonna go in state anyway
because of madison.
Deciding which college you go to
is an important decision.
You can't decide
which college you go to
based on a girl.
Or two girls.
Actually, I can.
[scoffs]
[phone ringing]
[whispers]
is that grace?
[beeps]
Hello?
Hi.
Is it too late to call?
Are you in bed?
I'm still out.
You're still out
with your mother?
You and your mother
are still out this late?
Hello, grace.
Yes, it's me, grant's mother.
That's--
that's not your mother.
You're not out
with your mother, are you?
Well, grace,
if you're not gonna
have sex with me,
You know how it is.
[whispers]
stop it.
No, I don't.
How is it?
I'm just kidding around.
Yes, I'm out with my mother.
We stopped on the way home
to have ice cream
at the dairy shack
Just like we used to do
when I was a kid.
And guess who's here.
Your ex-girlfriend?
Your old boyfriend.
[loudly]
jack and jesse
are sitting right behind us.
I'll call you back.
Is it too late to call you back?
I hope not.
[sighs]
[beeps]
Jack's there.
Grant's gonna call me back.
Hey, jack.
Hey, grant.
So you're jack,
grace's old boyfriend.
I've been dying to meet you.
Grace, too.
Only grant
won't bring her over.
This is my mother carrie.
Oh.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Would you and your friend
like to join us?
Oh, that's very nice
of you to offer,
but no, thank you.
We were just leaving,
since apparently
Someone's been sitting here
listening to our conversation.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
Well, good night.
Good night.
[sighs, mutters]
His mother.
You gotta hand it
to the guy.
He's determined
to keep me away from grace.
And why is that?
You're not already
having sex with grace, are you?
Not yet.
Maybe this summer.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Okay.
Well, take plenty of condoms
with you to med camp.
That girl has
way too many pregnant friends.
[chuckles]
just two.
That's two too many.
All right.
I'll be right back.
Ask for the check,
please.
[beeping]
[grace]
hi.
What are you doing up so late
besides waiting for me
to call back?
Oh, I'm just hanging out
in the guest house with tom.
He doesn't like
to be here alone.
Liar.
You're not just waiting
for jack to come home?
I ask because he told his friend
he's still interested in you,
So maybe you're
still interested in him.
And maybe
you're still interested
in your old girlfriend?
That wasn't exactly a no.
Are you?
No, I'm not.
We don't
let her live at our house
So I can still see her
every day and every night.
I really care
about you, grace.
We have an agreement.
You're not gonna stomp
on my heart.
No, I'm not gonna
stomp on your heart.
I care about you, too.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
And just so you know,
I'm leaving the guest house
right now
Before jack even gets home,
so I won't be talking to him.
Thanks.
I like that.
Good night.
Good night.
[beeps]
[door closes]
Good night, mrs.
Calabash,
Wherever you are.
I can't sleep.
I can.
You can?
Come on, amy.
I knew I should've gone home.
I just have to ask you
one thing.
Can't it wait
until morning?
You know how you said
maybe you had sex
with someone else?
Did you?
"don't ask me about
my business, kay.
"
What?
"all right.
This one time I'll let you
ask me about my affairs.
"
What are you talking about?
I feel like michael corleone
When his wife, kay,
cornered him.
Who?
The godfather.
What godfather?
The movie.
You've never seen the godfather?
No.
Then never mind.
Just go back to sleep.
I just have to know.
Just tell me the truth.
Did you?
All right.
I was gonna
tell you at some point anyway.
So go ahead.
Tell me.
Don't get upset.
I won't get upset.
As long as you
tell me the truth,
I won't get upset.
I had a chance to,
but I didn't.
Which doesn't mean I will never
have sex with anyone else again.
So you haven't had sex
with anyone since you've
been back from new york?
Okay.
Thanks for telling me.
Okay, but--
No.
No "buts.
"
I don't wanna discuss this,
especially in the middle
of the night.
You've forgotten
what it's like getting up
with john in the morning.
Save your energy for that.
Who did you have a chance
to have sex with?
Was it ashley?
No, not ashley.
You know I'd never
have sex with ashley.
No, of course not.
I already told you
I'd never have sex with ashley.
We already talked
about her.
You know everything she ever
said to me and everything
I ever said to her.
Then who?
That's it, amy.
I can't take it anymore.
That's the end
of the discussion.
If you keep talking about this,
I'm going home.
I'm really going home.
Go back to sleep.
Okay, okay.
I won't talk
about it anymore.
Can I just take
another guess?
Please don't.
Great.
Good night, amy.
Good night, ricky.
[john crying]
Oh, great.
He probably heard you.
He probably heard us.
[sighs]
and are we gonna get up
and see about him,
Or will I be doing that?
Could you?
Fine.
I'll get him.
Why shouldn't I get him?
I've been getting him
for the past month.
I've been getting him
for the past year.
Bring him in here, okay?
That's not a good idea.
It's fine.
He's used to being in here.
I like him in here.
Well, I like to leave him
in the nursery.
And it's better for him.
He's not used to being in here
with the two of us.
[door opens]
great.
[door closes]
so he thinks he knows best.
Was that robie
just a minute ago?
No, not robie.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
What time is it?
[sighs]
[sighs]
I had a dream
that amy was home.
Yeah, she's home.
What?
I heard her.
She and ricky were talking.
Kind of loud.
I think he left.
Wait.
What?
I forgot to tell you.
She called to find out
if she could change her flight.
She didn't say
she was coming home.
She just was thinking about it.
It's a refundable ticket.
What-- amy's home?
She's home early,
and you didn't even tell me?
You were asleep,
and when I saw her,
so was she and so was ricky.
I figured you'd find out
in the morning anyway.
That my daughter
is home from new york early?
Thanks a lot, george.
I wanna know what
she's doing home early.
Ask her.
I will.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[knocking]
Amy?
Yeah?
I'm so happy you're home.
Why are you home?
I missed john and ricky,
and I wanted to see ricky.
Well, why is that?
Why'd you wanna see ricky?
You just saw ricky.
Did you have a fight
with ricky?
No.
Well, you didn't just leave
that program early
Because you missed
john and ricky.
And by the way,
Didn't you miss me and your dad
and ashley and robie?
[sighs]
Okay, amy.
We'll talk in the morning.
I'm happy you're home.
[sighs]
I think.
Yeah, me, too.
Good night, amy.
Night.
I love you.
You, too.
[door closes]
So you're still here.
You didn't go home?
I'm here.
But don't worry.
I'm going home.
Now?
When amy gets up.
I see.
She asked me to stay.
Oh, so of course
you had to stay.
[sighs]
what's going on?
Why is she home early?
She just wanted
to come home.
She said she was ready
to come home.
And why is that?
It's her home.
Uh-huh.
I was just checking on john.
He woke up.
He's already
back to sleep, so--
So you're just gonna go
back in there with amy.
I could sleep on the couch.
That would be a lot more
comfortable and quieter.
Quieter, huh?
[sighs]
so you two were fighting.
Let me guess.
You went out
with some other girl.
Or, rather, you slept
with another girl,
And amy felt like she had to
rush home to keep you
From being with that girl
or with anyone else.
She just wanted to come home.
I don't think amy's ever
gonna be able to stop you
from being with other girls
'cause that's just
the kind of guy you are, ricky.
And amy's either gonna
have to live with that
Or you two are gonna
have to face the fact
that despite john,
You two really shouldn't
be together, because that's
what life would be like.
And yet, you're about to
get remarried to your husband.
Good night.
I'll be in the living room.
[whining]
Oh, no.
You could've just
stuck your head in
And told me you weren't
coming back to my room.
Your mother met me
in the hallway.
She didn't really want me
to come back in your room.
I've managed to survive here
for the past month
Without getting on
anyone's bad side
except for maybe ashley's,
So I came in here.
Please, amy, would you just
let me get some sleep?
You just got home.
We got all summer
to talk to each other,
to be with each other.
You're right.
Who was it?
Just tell me who it was.
If you weren't gonna tell me
who it was, you shouldn't
have brought it up.
I didn't bring it up.
You brought it up.
Okay, fine.
I brought it up.
Who was it?
It was someone
you don't know, all right?
Really? It was someone
I don't know?
Yeah, it was someone
you don't know,
So don't start guessing
a list of names here,
all right?
Are you sure it was someone
I don't know?
Maybe you're lying about that.
Maybe.
Maybe I'm lying.
And maybe I slept with
another girl or two
Or three or four,
and you know all of them.
No, I believe you--
that you got the opportunity
but didn't.
I'm just trying to think of
who you had the opportunity
to sleep with but didn't.
Was it adrian?
Was it adrian? Was it?
What the-- adrian?
I don't even talk to adrian,
and adrian's having a baby.
You can still have sex
if you're having a baby.
I would have sex with adrian
while she's having ben's baby?
She might've offered,
And that's a situation
which you might've turned down,
if offered.
I can't believe
you're telling adrian
You wanna be friends with her
when you don't think
any more of her than that.
I didn't really have
these thoughts about adrian--
You and adrian--
until tonight when you said
you turned down sex.
So--
so, when are you
gonna see ben?
Maybe he'll offer
to have sex with you,
And you can turn him down,
and then we can be even.
[sighs]
I don't know when
I'm going to see ben.
I do plan
on seeing him, but--
But you were waiting to see
how things go with me first?
You were waiting to see
if adrian and I
Had been sneaking around
behind your backs?
Jeez, I can't believe
you would think that.
I was wrong.
I don't think it was
out of the question,
but I was wrong.
I would never get in the way
of ben having a relationship
With the woman
he's having a baby with.
He needs to be
with adrian right now.
Now? What about later?
I doubt that he and adrian
will end up together.
Because?
Because.
Because adrian's not
good enough for ben?
I didn't say that.
That's what you think--
That she's not
good enough for him
Because he's such a nice guy,
And he would never get involved
with a girl like adrian.
I did not say that.
She's a nice girl-- adrian.
I know.
No, you don't know.
You're being nice to her,
but be honest here.
You think it was lousy
of her to seduce ben,
And you feel badly for him
that she got pregnant.
I don't think there was
a whole lot of seduction
going on.
He wasn't just friends
with adrian
To be friends with adrian.
He was curious
about sex with adrian
all along
Because he's
attracted to her.
So when he got his chance,
he took it,
Whether he cared anything
at all about her or not.
And let me tell
you something, amy.
When he does get to know her,
When he does find out
how smart she is
And what a big heart she has,
He might just fall in love
with her.
And he might've anyway,
baby or not.
I doubt it.
Are you planning
to use this time
While ben's with adrian
as some experiment?
You know, a time to find out
if we're really meant
for each other
So that if we're not,
When ben and adrian's
baby gets here
And all hell breaks loose
a couple months into it,
You'll know whether or not
you'd rather be with him?
No! This has nothing
to do with them--
with ben and adrian.
This is about us.
I want this summer
To be our time to get
to know each other
And to see if there's any chance
we can actually be a couple
And actually get married
in the distant future
And be a family--
the three of us.
I have a difficult
time believing
That whatever our feelings are
for ben and adrian--
That those feelings
don't have something to do
With everything going on
with us right now.
And I also have
a difficult time believing
That going to movies
and going out to dinner
And taking john to the circus
Would help us decide
what our feelings are
for each other
And whether or not
we wanna be together
the rest of our lives.
But that's what
people do, okay?
They go out.
They talk.
They get to know each other.
They-- they fall in love,
And then they get married
Sometimes.
I want that.
And while we're going out
and talking
And getting to know each other
And falling in love,
I wanna graduate
high school,
And I wanna graduate college
and start a career.
I wanna be a teacher.
I wanna teach girls
to believe in themselves,
Because I believe in myself.
I believe I can be
a good teacher
And a good mother
And a good wife to you,
someday.
[phone beeping]
Grace,
your phone's beeping.
I think you have messages
or something.
That's okay.
I'll just check them later.
I'm gonna go home,
all right?
Tell your mom thanks
for inviting me over.
She didn't invite you.
I invited you.
She just let you come over.
Maybe next time
she'll let me sleep with you.
[chuckles]
don't bet on it.
Okay.
I won't bet on it.
It was fun
having you sleep here.
I just can't figure out
why she let you
Actually come over here
in the middle of the night.
Why not?
Why not?
I mean, she's made it
pretty clear that she doesn't
want us to have sex,
But then she lets you
sleep in my room?
Oh, no.
I hope
she's not up to something.
She's not up to anything.
She trusts us.
She trusts me anyway.
See you later.
I'll call you.
Tell your mom I said hello.
I'm really looking forward
to meeting her.
I'll introduce you.
She's a very special person--
my mom--
And way too involved in my life,
so let's just wait until,
You know,
you know you like me.
I like you.
[chuckles]
Where's your dad,
by the way?
He's
Long story.
I'll tell you about it
some other time.
It's nothing bad.
He's around.
Okay.
Okay, see you.
See you.
[door opens, closes]
She's up to something.
Okay, you gotta go home.
What?
You've gotta go home.
I've gotta get up
and get my day going.
Oh, so much for sleeping over.
Being close
and all that, huh?
Yeah.
It's not me.
[groans]
then who was it
that I was with last night?
Go home.
Okay.
[groans]
[sighs]
I've got to talk to my dad
about giving you that ring.
I'm sure he knows.
Oh, yeah.
The ring.
I forgot all about the ring.
Already?
It's like a dream
or something.
Only better
'cause it's real.
I can't wait to show grace
and my parents
And everyone I know,
or don't know.
Okay.
Well,
when you show it to them,
Please make it clear that
it's not an engagement ring.
If we say
it's an engagement ring,
then we're in trouble.
[scoffs]
you're in trouble,
not me.
Okay, I'm in trouble.
It's not an engagement ring.
I know.
[sighs]
Get up, bedhead.
I always have bedhead.
It's worse if I shower
right before I go to bed.
It's cute.
I like when
you're not so perfect.
Which is most
of the time, right?
[chuckles]
No, most of the time
you are perfect.
Too perfect for me.
Adrian, I am not too perfect,
Especially for you.
In fact, I don't even know
if I feel worthy of you.
What are you talking about?
You're just so
Full of life andFun
And crazy and carefree
AndBeautiful,
And I'm not.
But you're very confident
And considerate andJust
such an honorable person.
You have dignity--
real dignity, ben.
Oh, at least
when your hair is combed.
[both chuckle]
I really appreciate
you standing by me like this,
And I hope you continue
to do that--
To stand by me even when amy
comes back from new york.
And I think it's really nice
that she called me
And that she's offering
to be my friend,
But, well,
I have to say,
I really didn't miss her.
I'm happy
that she's been away
And that we've had this time
together without her around.
And I know that you just
can't wait to talk to her
face-to-face,
But I think it was
kind of a blessing in disguise
That she went away
and that she wasn't
talking to you.
It gave us a chance
to talk to each other--
you and me.
Um, I'll call you later.
And if you have
any problems today,
Do not go to the hospital
again by yourself, okay?
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Ooh.
I'm starting
to get a little bump.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
Bye.
Oh, look.
My two boys are here.
Good morning, john.
[chuckles]
good morning, ricky.
You put me through hell
last night.
Don't say that
in front of your son.
He might repeat it.
I'm gonna go home now.
Can't you stay
and have breakfast?
No, I can't.
I have to work today.
You want me
to drop john off?
No.
I'm gonna keep him
with me today.
I wanna spend some time
with him.
I really missed him.
Okay.
Well, bye, amy.
It's been nice being here,
kind of.
Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for letting me
go to new york
And being with john.
You're welcome.
I'll call you later.
Great.
I'll look forward
to hearing from you.
[chuckles]
that sounds kind of formal,
don't you think,
For two people
who have a son?
Well, I just thought
it sounded polite.
[laughs]
Is there something else
you wanted?
Something you wanted
to ask me?
Would you and john
like to go out with me tonight?
We would love to.
What time will you
be picking us up?
Or we could pick you up.
That's less date-like.
Mmm.
I'll see you around 7.
