MAN 1:
Okay, thanks. See you tomorrow.
MAN 2:
Bye.
That'll be a buck fifty.
Uh, oh, and, um,
I need a pack of those.
Light or regular?
NIGEL: Light.
SIMON: Regular.
Uh, regular.
Five seventy-five.
Hey.
Matches?
[SIMON SIGHS]
Thanks.
Man, that was too easy.
Mustard.
Mayo.
Pickles.
- Bread.
- You know, I'm really not hungry.
Come on, it's your favourite.
Meat between two pieces of meat,
garnished with meat.
Why are you being so nice to me?
No reason.
LUCY:
Oh.
And I finished your laundry,
it's all folded and in the basket.
- Pity laundry? Is that it?
- No.
Just because Shana when to New York
doesn't mean we've broken up.
- I know.
- It's gonna work out.
You bet it is.
- Hey, Matt, how's it going?
- Oh, put a sock in it.
There's no way he and Shana
are gonna make this
long-distance thing work.
Come on, they could.
- Not a chance.
- No way.
What is this?
Put it back,
it's Ruthie's science experiment.
Is it edible?
If you give Ruthie a dollar,
she'll tell you.
I'm not giving Ruthie a dollar.
[MATT CHUCKLES]
Thanks.
So you doing okay with everything?
If everything means Shana,
I'm doing just fine.
All right,
but if you want to talk, I'm here.
Dad, Shana didn't die,
she went away to school.
I'm fine, really.
- Shana didn't call yesterday.
- Oh.
It was her turn.
That's the first time that's happened.
I didn't know any of this.
Maybe Matt just doesn't want to
tell you that stuff.
Why would that be?
I don't know, sometimes kids just
don't want their parents to know stuff.
They have their reasons.
Like you have your reasons
for not wanting to tell us
- what your science experiment is?
- Exactly.
- So can I ask you something?
SIMON: Sure.
- You growing a moustache?
- Finally, somebody noticed.
- How long you been growing it?
- About three months.
Cool.
So do you think we can get
anyone else to, uh, sell us cigarettes?
Oh, yeah.
I can't believe we're doing this.
Are we really doing this?
We have to.
[SIMON SIGHS]
So, what's the deal?
I haven't asked them yet.
[SIGHS]
Come on,
this in-home dating is driving me crazy.
You have to get permission
for us to go out.
Look, I am doing everything
humanly possible
to appear to be the most responsible
teenager in the world.
- It's not you, it's me they don't trust.
- No, they like you.
Maybe, but they still don't trust me.
[TAP ON DOOR]
Hey.
I just got a great idea.
Would they let us go out
if we double-dated?
[MOUTHS]
No way.
It'd have to be someone
my parents knew really, really well.
What about your sister Lucy?
- Lucy?
- What?
We could fix her up
with my brother, Rick.
No, you couldn't.
- That's a great idea.
- What's a great idea?
No, you couldn't.
Well, yeah,
my brother Rick's right here,
and he says he'd love
to take Lucy out.
I didn't say that.
That's great.
I'm sure Lucy will be into it too.
Okay, bye.
What will I be into too?
Never mind.
[MUSIC PLAYING ON TV]
Are Simon and Nigel back
from their bike ride yet?
Do you think I'm a good listener?
Did you hear what I just asked you?
Did you hear me when I asked you
to run downstairs
and get me a couple of diapers?
- I'll get the diapers.
- I got them.
Who can watch TV
with all the yakking?
Thanks.
So can I ask you guys something?
Could Robbie and I
go out on a real date
if we double
with Lucy and his brother, Rick?
Does Lucy want to go out with Rick?
- Rick who?
- Robbie's brother.
I knew you were up to something.
I didn't want to ask you
before I asked them.
LUCY:
Have you even met this guy?
No, but he's an honours student,
he has never been in any trouble
and he's really nice.
Nice? Great.
So can we?
- Couldn't they just go out alone?
- Hey, either one, fine with me.
I don't know, uh...
It'll be just the four of us,
we'll go to an early movie.
Straight there, straight back.
Okay.
Straight there, straight back.
Thanks for asking me.
You weren't doing anything,
were you?
I love you both very, very much.
Yes!
Come on, we had to trust her
with Robbie sometime.
No, we don't.
I keep wanting to lock her up
till she turns 21, but no.
And for the record,
I don't trust Robbie.
I'm still trying to trust her.
I'm cooking tonight...lasagne.
And the good news is
our neighbours are joining us.
Our female neighbours,
our beautiful, female neighbours.
And it won't be like it's a date,
because they're our neighbours.
Angela and Barbara,
girls next door and up a floor.
New in the building.
And they are a perfect match for us.
I met my perfect match,
but she just happens to be
in New York,
and, uh, apparently
unable to use the phone.
Okay, what I mean is,
one woman is white and the other one
just happens to be
of the African-American persuasion.
And they are both gorgeous.
Well, I'm not gonna be here,
I'm going to the library.
Oh, no, no, no.
You're gonna be here, gloomy Gus,
because I told them
you're gonna be here.
And you may not need a girlfriend,
but I do.
[PHONE RINGS]
I'm sorry I didn't call.
[SIGHS]
It's okay,
I figured you were busy.
Actually I was busy.
I aced my first big test
in Biochemistry
and went out to celebrate
with some people in my class.
Ah. People.
How nice for you.
And we went down to Chinatown
and ate forever.
And I didn't get back here until,
4 in the morning,
so I figured it was too late to call.
Yeah, that
would have been a little late,
only I was waiting for you to call!
It was your turn to call.
I was worried about you.
You weren't worried,
you were jealous.
I thought we agreed
that you wouldn't be jealous.
Especially since
there is nothing to be jealous of.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
So we're still friends?
Friends?
I hope we're more than that.
That is not what I meant.
Then, what did you mean?
Oh, what I meant was that,
I hope that no matter what happens,
we will always be friends.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing, okay?
Nothing, it means nothing.
I have to go.
I love you. Bye.
[STAMMERING]
[DIAL TONE]
I was beginning to get worried
about you guys.
- We were playing.
- Uh, yeah, playing.
Nigel and Simon just came home.
Something isn't right.
You thought
they wouldn't come home?
You want me to go find out what it is?
Well, you can either snoop or cook.
I'm on my way.
SIMON:
I can't believe we pulled it off.
I can't either.
[SIMON CHUCKLES]
[LINE RINGING]
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hello?
- Hi, this is Lucy Camden.
May I speak to Rick?
This is Rick.
Oh.
So I guess we have
a date tonight, huh?
Yeah, and I was wondering how you
felt about being set up with me.
Because we don't have to do this
if you don't want to.
No, we have to go out
or my brother would kill me.
I see.
Hey, Robbie told me
how beautiful you are.
And I believe him.
But I already have a girlfriend,
kind of.
And it's not like
it's a commitment or anything,
but I called her and I told her that you
and I going out is just a platonic thing.
Well,
that's great that you're so honest.
And it's great
that it's just a platonic thing.
I mean, it certainly
takes the pressure off.
Look, you sound really nice,
and up until a month ago, uh--
Don't apologise.
You sound nice too.
And we'll just go out
and have a nice, platonic time.
I'll see you tonight, then.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
I wish you had just busted them when
you saw them with the cigarettes.
Come on,
that would be so uninteresting.
Remember when I set up
Matt with Mrs. Bink?
That was great,
that was one of my finest moments.
But that was different. Matt was older
and we knew he was smoking.
Simon and Nigel are probably
only thinking about smoking.
But if we stop them before they try it,
they'll only think about trying it again.
ANNIE:
We don't know that.
Oh, I know that.
They-- They want to try it,
I can see it in their faces.
Ruthie's science experiment?
- Don't touch that.
- Sorry.
- Where's Simon and Nigel?
- They're getting the boys.
Why are we eating in the kitchen?
Mary and Lucy ate earlier,
they're going out tonight.
Besides,
it's so much more intimate in here.
It'll give us a chance to talk.
[BABY CRIES]
Okay, who's in trouble?
What makes you think
anyone's in trouble?
Oh, yeah,
someone's in trouble bigtime.
Stop looking at each other,
you guys are giving me the creeps.
Stop.
Quit it.
[UPBEAT MUSIC
PLAYING ON STEREO]
Are you gonna put on a clean shirt?
I'm not trying to impress anybody,
they're just neighbours, right?
Gorgeous neighbours.
And I don't want the smell of your shirt
to interfere with the smell of our dinner.
So change.
[SIGHS]
Now, how about putting on a fresh
attitude to match that spiffy shirt?
Don't push it.
I'm just not feeling very sociable, okay?
I'm not happy.
Could you fake it? Just for me?
Your very lonely best friend?
You know
how mad you are at Shana?
Well, I'm gonna be twice that mad
at you if you mess up my evening.
I don't care.
Oh, come on, please.
Come on. Matt, come on.
Please.
I was, uh, pretty subtle at dinner, huh?
You know, my plan to get Simon and
Nigel to confess about the cigarettes.
Oh, you mean, um, telling them
that confession is good for the soul
and then asking them
pointed questions about smoking.
That's all part of your subtle plan?
Was it also part of your plan
to make them feel so uncomfortable,
that they left the table
before finishing their dinner?
[SCOFFS]
Okay, I can't take it. I feel so guilty.
Can't take what?
The questions, no more questions.
I confess.
I didn't mean to break the china box
on your dresser, but I did.
Are you happy now,
Mr. Question Man?
- Uh...
- You broke my china box?
Two months ago. Sorry.
I tried to glue it back together.
You're right, confession is good.
I feel much better now.
Just because the wrong kid confessed,
doesn't mean your plan is bad.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Rick and Robbie.
- I'll get it.
- Be nice.
I'll try.
What do you mean,
the wrong kid confessed?
You didn't know
I broke that box, did you?
So I just confessed for nothing?
And I'm gonna get punished?
I'm afraid so.
[ROBBIE WHISTLES]
So I hear you're
a National Merit finalist.
Yes, sir.
Rick's always been
the smart one in the family.
That's not true. Robbie always
made good grades until...
He was arrested?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
My mom just told us you were here.
Oh, that's okay,
we've been getting acquainted.
Haven't we, boys?
Mom, Lucy, this is Rick.
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Camden.
Wow.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry. Hi.
Uh, would anyone like a drink?
Uh, no, thanks, we don't drink.
Oh. Oh.
You meant, uh...
No, no, thanks.
You know, we really
don't have time for anything anyway.
Let's go.
- Where are you going?
- To a movie.
- Oh.
- Which one?
Just some old Western.
Yeah, at that artsy place
where they have, uh, dollar movies.
We're kind of on a budget.
And kind of on a schedule.
Do you mind? Let's go.
- We won't be late.
- No, you won't.
[WHISPERING]
You could be a little nicer to Robbie.
Why?
So you need anything
from the store?
How are you gonna follow Mary, Lucy,
Simon and Nigel on the same night?
- I can do it.
- But why would you want to?
Hey, don't ruin a perfectly good night
of spying on the kids with logic.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
I'm hungry.
Yeah, me too.
Next time we hide out from your dad,
remember to bring some food.
I don't feel right about this.
I mean, if we tell our parents
we're investigating people
who sell cigarettes to minors
as a school project,
they're never gonna let us
keep doing it.
We just need one more day.
We need more than
two lousy purchases for a report.
I don't want a C.
[SIGHS]
So...
You ever--? You know?
Ruthie and I tried it.
I got sick. Really sick.
Yeah, Lynn and I tried it,
we got sick too. But I was just a kid.
What?
You know...
We could smoke one, just one,
and then we could write a paper
on what made us try smoking
and how awful it is.
[SCOFFS]
But if we smoke, we'll get in trouble.
- We're already in trouble.
- Well, I don't know.
What if we actually like it
and become addicted?
That would be an A-plus guaranteed.
Especially if it comes down to wearing
the patch or chewing that gum.
We might even get to
testify before Congress.
No, we can't. It's wrong.
[SNIFFS]
Wanna know what's in there?
Uh, yes, I do.
Is it worth a buck to you?
I'm just trying to decide that.
Yeah.
Ah.
There's nobody listening.
In this house? Get real.
[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
That's very good.
- You like it?
- I love it.
What do you love?
Um, Ruthie's science experiment.
You wanna know what's in here?
- Yes.
- My treat.
[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
Oh, that's very good.
No, maybe, like, that's the best
science experiment I've ever heard of.
[BABY CRIES NEARBY]
Are you having trouble
getting them to sleep?
- Yeah.
- Know what's good for that?
- What?
- A ride in the car.
Would you like to take them
for a little ride?
Oh.
Like maybe to the, uh, artsy movie
theatre to spy on Mary and Lucy?
No,
I'd rather give them a bottle instead.
I feel like going for a ride.
I could really use your help
with the boys.
Fine. The second floor of the house
is an interesting place too.
ANNIE:
Yes, it is.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, you either trust
Mary and Robbie or you don't.
Oh.
I think I'll take a walk.
Uh, oh, in the meantime,
if you smell smoke, just wait for me.
[MUSIC PLAYING IN THEATRE]
Still at it?
Oh, yeah.
And the movie
hasn't even started yet.
It's a little embarrassing.
I mean, what exactly are they gonna do
when the lights go out?
Good point.
You know, those two are exactly
what I was expecting, but you...
I don't know,
I thought a girl who builds houses
was gonna be a big clunker
or carry a hammer or something.
I have a power sander in my purse.
I just mean, if I knew girls like you
worked for the Habitat project,
I'd build houses too.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
So why don't you have a boyfriend?
I had a boyfriend last year.
What happened to him?
- We broke up.
- Who broke up with whom?
I broke up with him.
Did he do something wrong?
No. I just realised I didn't care about
him as much as he did about me.
And I thought it wasn't fair to him,
so I ended it.
I like that. I like that a lot.
I respect honesty.
You had enough?
Let's go sit outside and talk.
[SLOW R & B MUSIC
PLAYING ON STEREO]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
All right. Look alive, now. Look alive.
Look conscious. Can you do that?
Welcome. Come in, come in.
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
Thanks for coming.
It's nothing,
we just walked down the stairs.
No effort's too small.
I hope we're not too early,
we could smell the food
up on the fourth floor,
and we're both starving.
You're not early at all.
Actually, you're right on time.
Angela, Barbara,
this is my roommate, Matt.
It's nice to meet you.
[CRYING]
RICK:
I always wanted a steady girlfriend,
but tonight
I wish I didn't even have one.
Why?
Because right now
I'd like to kiss you.
I guess your girlfriend
wouldn't go for that.
Probably not.
But what if I kissed you?
You mean
without my knowing about it?
What?
That didn't even make sense, did it?
[LUCY LAUGHS]
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
[DOOR OPENS]
[GARBAGE THUDS]
- Are you sure it was Lucy?
- Oh, it was Lucy, all right.
Yeah, they were just making out,
just right there on the street.
They don't even know each other,
she just met him.
Frankly, this is not
the behaviour I would expect
from a National Merit finalist.
What?
Oh, is that the "this is what I get
for spying on my kids" look?
[ERIC SIGHS]
I can only guess
where the other two were.
They were probably
watching the movie.
- Oh, right.
- Why is that so hard to believe?
If the younger brother
has the nerve
to make out with Lucy
right on a public street,
then it scares me to think what the
brother who was arrested is capable of.
You're out of your mind,
you know that?
Maybe, but it doesn't
make me wrong about this.
[DOOR CLOSES]
That would be my son and his friend
who are also up to no good tonight.
Where have you two been?
- Yes, you. Where have you been?
- They've been out in the garage.
I asked them
to take something out for me.
Oh.
What?
You sent them to the garage?
That's practically
inviting them to light up.
I choose to trust.
To believe that our son
and his friend have a good reason
that explains why
they have cigarettes.
Like, they smoke?
I don't think they smoke.
Probably don't think Lucy was making
out with a guy she just met either.
No, that I believe
because she's done it before.
Remember, about two years ago,
I caught her and Keesha making out
- with a couple of boys at the movies?
- No, I don't remember.
- I thought I told you.
- You didn't.
Well, I guess I forgot.
You didn't forget
to tell me Simon smokes, did you?
When Mary asked
to go to the dollar movie tonight,
didn't it occur to you that all she wants
to do is be alone with Robbie?
We've got to hope that we have
raised our daughters well enough,
that they're not doing
anything more than kissing.
But I think
we have to expect the kissing.
You're not upset about this, are you?
I'm not thrilled,
but I am not gonna drive myself crazy.
They've gotta make their own decisions,
we can't make their decisions for them.
- I'm gonna go for another walk.
- No, you're not.
Now,
you're getting yourself all worked up.
You gotta take a few minutes,
calm down, relax
and get some perspective.
You're right.
[SIGHS]
But if my daughters aren't back
in this house in an hour, I'm gonna--
[ANNIE INHALES DEEPLY]
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[EXHALES]
MATT:
I just wasn't prepared, that's all.
I mean I knew she was going,
but I wasn't prepared
for how lonely I'd feel
and now I'm just a mess.
You can say that again.
You know, I can't concentrate
at school, I'm depressed at work.
Well, working in a hospital
can be depressing.
You know, I don't know how you do it,
working in a life-and-death
environment every day.
You are very brave.
Come on, it's not like
he's healing the critically ill.
He wears a hairnet
and serves Jell-O.
Well, maybe you'd all feel better
if you ate something.
I can't eat. I don't have an appetite.
Me neither.
When you guys first got here,
you were starving. What happened?
[SIGHS]
What is it?
It's just that
Shana used to wear jeans.
BOTH:
Oh.
I'm gonna kill him.
We almost got caught.
Yeah, now I wanna do it
worse than before,
even though I know it's wrong.
Yeah, well, just remember,
we're already in trouble.
Right.
What's this?
That's my science experiment,
so don't open it.
If you pay her,
she'll tell you what it is.
Why don't we just open the bag?
Oh, you don't wanna do that.
- How much?
- One dollar.
[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
That's a good one.
Forget it, Nigel will tell me.
No, I won't.
[SCOFFS]
LUCY:
Where's Mary?
Uh, she stopped by the restroom.
To comb her hair.
Pardon us for a second, will you?
What have you been doing out here?
She kissed me.
What happened to platonic?
We were just experimenting with what
happens when friends kiss friends.
I'll tell you what happens,
her father kills you,
that's what happens.
Friends don't kiss friends.
No,
friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Not funny.
You two look like lovers,
which means we look like dead meat
when we take them home.
She's cute, huh?
[ROBBIE SCOFFS]
Ha, ha. What happened to you?
Nothing.
You wanna go freshen up?
No, let's go. Remember?
Straight here, straight back,
just like we promised.
BARBARA:
I think that it's all going to work out.
True, long-distance
relationships are hard.
But not when the guy
is honest and vulnerable
and so out there
with his feelings, like you.
A girl would have to be crazy
not to find a way to make
a relationship work with you.
Say, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure. Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?
You've got both women,
that's so unfair.
I'm not doing anything.
You're ruining the entire evening
for me. I haven't gotten near Angela.
- I think you're overreacting.
- Oh, yeah?
Well, the only way I can compete
with you and your sad tale is if--
There's no way to compete with you,
because you've got them
eating out of your hand.
What do you want me to do?
Leave. I want you to leave.
[PHONE RINGING]
We'd better get it, it might be Shana.
Hello?
I must have the wrong number.
- Is this Shana?
SHANA: Uh, yes, who's this?
Are you looking for Matt?
Um, yeah.
Well, he's right her, hold on.
It's Shana.
Hey.
[CHUCKLING]
Don't "hey" me.
Who was that
and how does she know about me?
I smell smoke.
- Yeah, cigarette smoke.
- Someone's gonna get in trouble.
Simon and Nigel?
Ah. Well,
we'd better say good night here.
So I guess I won't be calling you
since we're just friends.
Right.
But if you ever do need a friend...
I know who to call.
I had a great time.
Good night.
I'll see you later.
Hey there.
How was your date?
It was great.
Thank you for letting me go out.
And your date?
It was okay.
Just okay?
- What's wrong?
- Yeah, what's up?
I think Lucy knows what's up.
Because I think we all know
what you were doing tonight
and it wasn't watching a movie,
was it?
What were you doing,
spying on me?
[SCOFFS]
I wasn't spying,
I just happened to walk by and--
You were spying on me.
Unbelievable.
I feel so--
How could you spy on me?
He wasn't spying on you, he was
spying on me. Weren't you Dad?
Okay, I was curious and concerned,
so I just took a walk
by the movie theatre and...
- Spied on us.
- You are never gonna trust me again,
no matter what I do, are you?
[SIGHS]
[MARY GRUNTS]
And you have no reason
not to trust me.
Except that
this is not the first time
that you've been caught making out
in public with a guy you just met.
- What?
- You know what we're talking about.
That guy Keesha fixed you up with
a couple of years ago?
Oh.
Yeah. Yeah, but that was different.
- How?
- I don't know, but it just was.
Do you smell smoke?
Cigarette smoke.
We figured if we told you
we were buying cigarettes,
you wouldn't let us buy any more
and our project would be ruined.
If you knew we wouldn't approve,
maybe it wasn't the best project to do?
But we did show how easy it is
for kids to buy cigarettes.
What were you planning to do
if you got caught buying cigarettes?
The person selling us cigarettes
gets in trouble, not us.
You guys didn't do your research.
It's a $75 fine and 30 hours
of community service
for minors caught buying cigarettes.
I checked it out
when Matt made his little venture
into the world of tobacco
a few years back.
Besides that,
you're saying you were willing
to let the guy who sold you
the cigarettes get into trouble
so you could get a good grade
on your Social Studies project?
But those people are killing us
by selling us cigarettes.
Not us, technically,
but kids who smoke.
It's a very interesting project,
but it's also a project
that could have had
some serious consequences
for other people,
as well as for you two.
And who wants to tell me
how actually smoking the cigarettes
you bought fits in?
Uh, we were expanding the project.
You know, going from the thrill
of buying the illegal product,
to the thrill of smoking it.
Plus, when you make
something so bad,
it makes it irresistible too.
Yeah, it was like,
once we had the cigarettes,
we couldn't help ourselves,
we had to smoke.
Even knowing all we know
about smoking and how bad it is.
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry too.
I'm afraid if you actually
turn in your project,
you could make yourself
vulnerable to prosecution,
not to mention whatever punishment
we come up with.
Maybe you could talk to
Sergeant Michaels.
The police could use what we have
and we could be
part of a sting or something.
You have to be 15
to participate in a sting.
And have the permission
of your parents, which you don't.
So, um, no sting.
No more cigarettes.
[SIGHS]
I'm afraid you're gonna have to
throw out your project and start over.
- Is that our punishment?
- What do you think?
What are we gonna do? The project's
due at the end of the week.
Maybe you'd like to buy
my science experiment and use it.
I'm not gonna pay you for something
when I don't even know what it is.
NIGEL: It is pretty good.
ANNIE: Real good.
Extremely good.
Okay, what is it?
One dollar, please.
[SIMON SCOFFS]
Ever heard of alchemy?
Turning ordinary substances into gold?
That's not possible.
Sure it is.
Straw.
Gold.
- I'm good.
- Yes, you are.
Outwitted by an 8-year-old.
[CACKLES]
Ow!
What was that for?
Mom and Dad don't trust me, because
you were making out with Rick.
Thanks.
Someone should have
mentioned what I look like,
and they wouldn't have
known anything.
I asked you
if you wanted to freshen up.
The correct phrasing would've been,
"Would you like to freshen up?
You look like you've been
sucking face all night."
Except all the freshening in the world
wouldn't have helped
since Dad saw you.
You were kissing too.
Robbie and I
have known each other for months.
Maybe so,
but Rick and I were, like, PG.
You and Robbie were...
Well, you weren't PG.
I don't think Mom and Dad
would have been happy
if they would have seen you.
Which is why I don't make out
on street corners.
And Mom and Dad are not stupid.
They don't think that I am dying
to get out of the house with Robbie
just so we can hold hands and watch
a stupid, old Western movie.
So...
How do you think
we should punish Simon?
Well, maybe we should fine him.
Make them do community service,
like if they had been caught.
That is, of course,
if the Hamiltons agree.
But we should also
take into consideration
that they were just trying
to get a good grade.
Think that's all they were doing?
Or they just found a convenient way
to justify the thrill
of buying and trying cigarettes?
What happened to trusting our kids?
I don't know. I think maybe
it's just a phase I'm going through.
Maybe it's just a phase
they're going through. Hmm?
Hmm? Hmm?
I don't like not being trusted.
I know what you mean.
I don't like not being trusted either.
I guess the thing to do
is to win back their trust.
You're right.
Do you think I can trust Robbie?
His brother certainly is honest.
Honest?
He told his girlfriend
he was going out with you as a friend
and then the two of you
made out all night.
We made out as friends.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
You know, maybe we should start
an honesty programme.
We could start
by telling ourselves the truth.
Okay.
I liked kissing Rick, it was fun.
And at the same time, I felt guilty
and a little ashamed of myself
because he cheated on his girlfriend
and I don't think women
should do that to each other.
There was just
some thrill in it at the time.
Your turn.
The truth is, I don't know why,
but I don't really trust Robbie.
Wow.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Just a gut feeling.
A gut feeling I'm trying
really hard to ignore for now.
Hey.
I've been looking for you.
I'll catch up with you later.
Thanks for making me go out.
Yeah, you're welcome. Stop smiling.
I can't.
I've been waiting all night
for you to get home.
I told you I was going out
with my brother.
Just you and your brother?
Just me and Rick.
If I was going out with another woman,
you think I'd be home this early?
What's the matter, baby?
Don't you trust me?
Wow, this evening went by so fast.
- Sorry about dinner.
- Don't worry about it.
How about to make up for tonight,
we have you guys up to our apartment
next week for dinner?
I'd really like that.
Oh. Count me in.
How about you?
Um, sure, as long as I'm not working.
With any luck, he'll be working.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Night, guys.
- Good night.
Man, you are hopeless.
