02x07 - Summertime

Post by bunniefuu »

??

- ???
- ??

You know...??

because of death.

- George Juergens?
- The one and only.

You've been served.

Incomplete? Like, I have to do some more
work before I can get my report card?

More like incomplete, so you're
gonna have to go to summer school.

You've been accepted into the Young
Healer's Summer Training Program.

Oh. My dad.

I remember him mentioning
something about it.

My parents are kind of
getting back together.

- So forget about my mom.
- All right.

And sell us your house.

Pack your bags.
We leave in one hour.

We're just gonna take off and
leave Amy and John behind?

Who knows if we'll be gone
three days or three weeks?

We are not gonna be
gone for three months.

I have something
I need to tell you.

- I'm marrying David.
- But you might change
your mind when you hear--

I'm marrying David!
Just sign the papers, George.

Oh, I see how it is.

Ben, no.

Listen, I better get going.
I got a plane to catch.

Ben!

Have a good summer.

H & A I'm home. Where are you?

Sending Message

That's good, right there.

Fine. Don't text me back.

Dad.

Set, hike!

- Jack!
- Sorry, Mom.

Tom. Tom, that is
so bad for you.

Do you know how many calories
are in that sundae?

No, but I have a feeling
I'm about to find out.

About 1,700.

Make it an even 2,000.

I didn't eat
ice cream all summer.

It wasn't allowed at med camp.

Only heart-healthy foods, because
heart disease is the number one k*ller.

Not in this family.

Lighten up, Doc.
Your bedside manner stinks.

Hi, Ricky.

I just wanted to
say good night.

- Just get back from Amy's?
- Yeah. We had trouble getting John to sleep.

Gotta go. I'm exhausted.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.

Did you want to
come over before school?

Yeah. Why not?

See you then.

You sure I have to go?

Yes. You have to go.

But I thought Ruben
wasn't staying here tonight.

Mmm, you never know
when he might show up.

Good night, Adrian.

Night.

Okay, I have to
be home in one hour.

I told my parents I was getting a pack of
college-ruled notebook paper and pens.

I've got paper and pens,
so we can take the whole hour.

So, first day of school.

Yep.

- And Ashley's first day of school.
- Yep.

I hope you're not gonna let you being angry
with Ben get in the way of you reaching out

to your sister on her
very first day of high school.

On my first day of high school,
I was pregnant, and I got through it.

I'm sure she'll get through it.

I'm sure she will, because she'll
have her big sister helping her out.

Mom, she's not gonna
need my help.

Amy, as much as she doesn't
want to admit it,

I think that Ashley is slightly
more insecure than she pretends to be.

So you take care of her,
and forget about Ben for today.

How am I supposed to do that?

How am I supposed to forget
that he hasn't called me in two weeks?

He didn't even call me
last night when he got in.

Well, I'm sure that
there's a reason.

You know, he was
probably just...busy.

Yeah.

He's probably too busy to
even break up with me.

I know that you're having
a hard time with Ben,

but I don't want you to
make Ashley anxious about school.

You and Ben will
work things out.

You've been saying
that all summer.

- Good morning, Amy.
- It's not a good morning.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm okay.

Feel like going up
to the house?

Oh, let's skip it for today.
We're almost finished.

Yep. Just a few more things
on the punch list, and then--

Then we'll decide
when we're moving.

Before the baby comes, right?

Well, there's still a lot
of decisions we gotta make.

- Yeah.
- I'm going to drive
Amy to drop off John,

and then I'm gonna drive Amy and Ashley
to Ashley's first day of high school.

- George doesn't wanna do that?
- I always drive them on their first day.

I want to make sure
that Ashley's okay.

It's a big day for her.
It's high school.

I love you.

You, too.

Don't come home
pregnant today, okay?

No Amy repeats. And do as
your mom says, not as she does.

Don't worry. I'm not pregnant,
and I don't plan on getting pregnant.

Evidently there are no genes for planning
a pregnancy in this family, so watch out.

- You nervous?
- About?

I don't know. Making new friends.
Finding your way around.

Oh, I got my schedule and my map online,
so I think I'll be able to find my way around.

- What about the friends part?
- What about it?

You're going to high school for the next
four years. You might wanna make a friend.

- No pressure, okay?
- Okay.

- Is that what you're wearing?
- Yep, this is what I'm wearing.

I just wanna be comfortable.

You look comfortable.
I like it. It's a good look.

It's not really a look.
It's just what happened.

Most girls your age are going
to a lot of trouble to come up

with some outfit or something special
for the first day of school.

I'm not like most girls, Dad.

Okay. Whatever you want, pumpkin.

I'm fine with it
if you're fine with it.

I am.

So, excited about
your first day of school?

Good to be back?

No.

I loved school.

Yeah, I loved school, too,
and then I got pregnant at 15,

had a baby, and now it's not
as much fun as it used to be.

We're getting married, you know.

Your mother and I.
We're having a baby.

- Whatever.
- I'm gonna be around for a while,

so we should work
on being friends.

You know, I thought, uh,
with your dad and sister

riding around the country
this summer and with Ben away,

that you and I would get
a chance to know each other.

But I just never seemed to be
able to get your attention all summer.

- I was busy.
- I know.

I still-- I still hold out hope
that we could be friends.

- I have friends.
- It's just that, well,

I feel a little funny about giving
you a car if we're not even friends.

You did complete
driver's ed this summer?

Yeah, but you can't
buy me a car.

No, I can.

What is this,
some kind of a bribe?

If that's the way you want to look at
a brand-spanking-new SUV with leather interior,

then I guess it is.

David, I can't-- Where is it?

- It'll be here this afternoon.
- Does my mom know?

Your mother does.
Your father doesn't.

But I think it'll be fine.

But I won't have my license
for three more months.

I think it's best
if you practice driving in the car

you're going to be driving
for the test, don't you?

Wow.

Uh, I don't know
what else to say.

How about, "I'll try a little
harder to get to know you, David."

- I will. I promise.
- Well, have a nice day.

Should I walk over and tell
your sister to have a nice day?

Not unless you have another car.
No, I wouldn't.

I think your mom's right about
Ashley being a little anxious.

Tell Mom not to worry.
I'll take care of Ashley.

And I won't even be
thinking about Ben.

I managed to forget about him
this entire conversation.

An SUV?

Ben!

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

My head's spinning.
I'm in a fog.

I'm tired, Dad. I'm so tired.

Can I please just
go to school tomorrow?

You wanted to stay the extra week,
you got the extra week.

All right? I told you it was going
to be like this when you came back,

but you wanted to stay
till the last minute.

So, let's go. Come on. Get up.

- Do I have to?
- Yes, you have to.

You can't miss
the first day of school.

It's like I left my head
at the airport in Rome.

You'll be all right.
You need to eat breakfast.

If you eat on time--
breakfast, lunch and dinner--

it'll help you get over
your jetlag faster.

And try to get out in the sun
every chance you get today.

- That helps, too.
- All right.

So, uh, did you call Amy?

No, I, uh-- I didn't
wanna wake up John.

You didn't want
to wake up John.

- I see.
- What? I didn't.

When's the last time
you talked to her?

A few days ago.

Well, I was all over Italy
the last two weeks.

You know? My phone
wasn't working.

I left my battery charger somewhere between
Positano and Lake Pusiano, and I just--

Yeah, and you just what?

I just wanted a week
without calling her.

I called her every day all summer.

I spent most of my paycheck fighting
with her on international phone calls,

and I realized that, you know,
I was coming back and I never got away.

So, I just didn't call her.

I still love her.

I can't wait to get whatever argument
we're gonna have about this over with.

I do. I love her.

Not enough to buy
a phone charger?

Dad, even you used to
take vacations from Mom and me.

- You remember?
- Yeah, I remember.

We missed you, but we had
a good time, the two of us.

I know.

Dad, did you and Mom ever have
to work at having a relationship?

When I was in Italy, I didn't see
anybody working at their relationship.

I saw couples on their
first vacation together.

I saw newlyweds
on their honeymoon.

I saw people who'd been
together for 50 years.

Nobody seemed to be
working at their relationship.

They just seemed to be
happy and in love and...

That's what I want.

I'm 16.

And while I was working the whole summer,
cleaning tables and washing dishes,

I was also working on
having a relationship with Amy.

I don't think a relationship
should be work.

It should just-- should happen.

I agree.

The experts, however,
would disagree.

I don't care about the experts.

Either Amy and I are
just happy being together,

and we don't have to discuss
how to be happy being together

every time we're
around each other, or...

Or?

Good morning.

Oh. You look...comfortable.

I am. Are we ready to go?

Is that what you're wearing to
your first day of high school?

- Yeah.
- Because?

Because I feel like it.

It's just that, uh,

I don't want you
to feel out of place.

Yeah, Amy doesn't want
you to feel out of place.

I'm not gonna feel out of place.
It's just high school.

"Just"? "Just high school"?

No. There is no
"just high school."

There is if you don't
make it important.

And I'm not gonna make it important.
It's not important.

It's just a legal requirement that I'm obligated
to participate in for the next four years,

unless or until I do
pass the GED and opt out.

Well, all right.

Then, uh, let's just go.

We have time.

- For?
- For her to change.

I'm not changing.

- You can if you want.
- I don't want.

First impressions are
very important, Ashley. Go change.

Is that, uh, baby
puke on your shirt?

No.

I thought it was.
Can we go now?

Yeah. Um, Amy, why don't you get
John? And then we'll just go.

Yeah. I'll grab John.

And you talk to her. She can't
go to school like that.

You really do look... comfortable.

You said that already.

Yeah, I did. Because you do.

- This is what I'm wearing.
- Okay.

- What?
- I just can't believe it's
your first day of high school.

It seems like yesterday I was
taking you to kindergarten.

Well, soon you'll have another
daughter to take off to kindergarten.

Oh, we don't know if it's a girl.
We didn't want to know.

Yeah, we know we didn't want to know.

We just wanted to change the subject
about what we are wearing to school.

You can wear anything you want.

It's just that you usually
look a little bit nicer.

You have a lot of
clothes to choose from.

- Why'd you choose that?
- Didn't really think about it.

- Really?
- Really.

Well, think about it.
Maybe you'll want to change.

And hurry up. We have to go
and get this day over with and get my SUV.

Didn't David tell you?
He's buying me a car.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the brand-new SUV
I'll be coming home to

after what promises to be...??

What, are you going somewhere?

- First day of school.
- Are you sleeping over?

Do you know how many back injuries
there are from heavy backpacks?

Don't you have a locker?

I don't always get
a chance to go to my locker.

We used these at med camp.
They're great.

It was a life-changing experience.

- For all of us.
- How so?

Now we can't stand
talking to you.

Before this,
you were a normal person.

Now you're a normal person
who thinks she is a doctor.

You're in high school.

I know, Tom.

That'll be Jack.
He's taking me to school.

Oh. You're still here.

I'm still here.
Come on in, Tammy.

What?

I hate the way you talk to me.

Really, Tammy? How's that?

Get your hand off me!

Why do you touch everyone
and go "what" in their face?

Tammy don't want
you to touch her.

Or get in my face.

That's what instills
confidence in the patient.

A doctor has to instill confidence
within the first 15 seconds of meeting them.

So it helps to call
them by their name,

put your hand on them,
and look them right in the eye.

- You're not a doctor.
- Yeah, you're not a doctor.

But I'm gonna be a doctor.

Dad never touch anyone and
look in the face like that.

I bet he did. You just never noticed it
'cause he did it so often, you never noticed it.

I'm still practicing.

Don't practice on us, okay?

Yeah. Wait until
you get a license.

Everything, really, you know.

Shouldn't you be at school?

How are you going to be a doctor
if you don't go to school?

I'm going to school.

I'm going to school, and the two
of you can have the house to yourself.

Wait a minute, Tom.
Did Mom say it was okay

for you to have company over
while she's at the dentist?

For me to know and
you to find out.

And when you find out,
it'll be too late.

Bye.

Have a good day at school. Bye.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I missed you so much this summer.

I missed you too, Grace.

How are you, Jack?

I'm okay, unless
you tell me otherwise.

- You look great.
- You do, too.

Why are you touching
my arm like that?

And why are you looking
at me like that?

I'm instilling confidence
in you as my patient.

Or I'm just practicing.
Just something that doctors do.

- Oh.
- It's something we learned this summer.

I learned the cross buck pass.

I learned that 47% of high school
football players suffer from groin injuries.

So make sure you
wear a cup this season.

Geez, Grace,
that's kind of personal.

It's not personal,
it's medical. It's science.

I just don't like hearing
you say something like "cup."

Jack, I focused on
sports medicine at camp.

Yeah, you told me. A few times.

I just find it so interesting.

- Mm-hmm. You ready to go?
- Yeah.

What's that?

That is the way I'll be avoiding
permanent back injury during the school year.

- Grace, I'll carry your books for you.
- No need.

It's just that I'd look like...

Well, I don't want to roll
a pink book bag around school.

You don't have to. I'll do it.

All right. But I don't mind
carrying your books.

Well, I don't mind
rolling my own books.

- So, you ready?
- Yes. I can't wait for this year.

- Me, too.
- Oh, did I tell you that
Jason and Madison broke up?

- Jason who?
- Jack, Jason.

Jason Treacy, Lauren's brother,
who I was at med camp with.

Jason was dating Madison.
Lauren and Madison are best friends.

Lauren and Madison are
Amy's best friends.

- Oh.
- Anyway, when he got
back from med camp,

he just felt like she was too...
casual about her future.

- She's a sophomore.
- Exactly.

I mean, she's got three years,
and then what?

What college? What career?

I'm a junior, and I don't even
know the answer to those questions.

I'm glad you brought that up.

I hope you're going to be
figuring that out this year,

'cause next fall, you'll have to
start applying for colleges.

True.

And then after college,
I'm hoping we can get married.

Before I go to med school.
So, no groin injuries.

Where's Dr. Grace Bowman?

She's on her way to the car.
I'll see you later, Tom.

- Wait.
- What?

Do you got a condom on you?

For what?

A water balloon.

- No.
- Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Really?

All right. I have a condom,
but I'm not gonna give it to you.

Unless you and Tammy
are... You're not...

And if you are,
you should have your own.

??...

I...???...still
thinking about it.

No...??

You u are.

That was a trick question...???

Bye.

Told you.

Better not k*ll Mom.

That's all I'm saying.

- Thanks, Adrian.
- No. Thank you.

Mmm. I love the back-to-school schedule.

Can you come over here every morning
after Ruben leaves for work?

I'll try.

Will you?

Why do we have to turn
something fun into a commitment?

It was fun.
Let's just leave it at that.

The whole summer was fun.

I don't know what I like more--
working at the butcher shop

or having sex with you
over the butcher shop.

Oh, please tell me
you like me best.

All right. I like you best.

- Do you love me?
- Adrian.

- Just say you love me.
- Why?

Because Ben came back from Italy last night,
and he's thinking about breaking up with Amy.

And I don't want Amy running to
you when he breaks up with her.

How do you know
what Ben's thinking?

I know, 'cause I
talked to him last night.

Have you been talking
to him all summer?

Um, I talked to him
a few times this summer.

You didn't tell me that.

I don't tell you everything.
You don't tell me everything.

I don't want you and Ben to
be friends. I told you that.

- You and Amy are friends.
- Amy and I have a son together.

Yeah, and I'm your girlfriend,
and Ben's Amy's boyfriend,

and when you and Amy are together,
Ben and I talk...sometimes.

I told you, I don't want you
sleeping with anyone else.

I thought we had
an understanding about that.

I'm not having sex with Ben!

- You're talking with Ben.
- So?

So talking leads to sex.

Everyone talks!

- Everyone has sex.
- Not Ben!

He didn't have sex this summer?

I thought that's
what he went over there for.

- He went over there for a summer job.
- And sex.

Well, he didn't have sex.

But he would tell you if he did
because the two of you were talking about sex.

I love you. Okay?

And I'm not gonna have
sex with Ben or...any other guy.

I hope not. Because if you do,

Adrian, I'm never gonna
have sex with you again.

I feel the same way, Ricky.

Look, I know you think it's okay for
you to have sex with anyone you want

because of your family and
what happened to you growing up.

But you're all grown up now, and you can't
keep blaming what you do on other people.

You have a son, you have a job,
and you have an apartment.

You're all on your own now,
so you are responsible for you.

I'm not looking
the other way this year.

I'm not.

Okay.

I'm not gonna look
the other way, either, then.

So if you go off and
sleep with your brother again--

Oh, whoa, whoa. My step-brother,
who I have no connection with?

- Other than sex.
- I didn't know that bothered you so much.

I'm just saying I'm not gonna
look the other way, either.

- Okay!
- Okay.

See you at school?

Yeah. See you at school, Adrian.

And you better not be with
Ben or Jack or anyone else.

And...??

You are the world's worst driver.

- No, I'm not.
- No, you are.

It's driver's education,
"education" being the key word.

I am being educated
in the art of driving.

Well, maybe that's your problem.
You're trying to make driving an art.

It's a skill-- a learned skill.

Sorry. I couldn't keep
my mind on the road.

You know what I mean.

Alice, please,
don't say anything.

What? It was great.

What was great?

Henry.

Whoa. What happened
to your eye?

You don't wanna know. So,
how are you this morning? Recovered yet?

I don't think you really
recover from a summer like that, Henry.

I just think you learn to
put it all in perspective.

- What did you do?
- Don't tell her.

Fine. Don't tell me.
And I won't tell you.

There's nothing to tell.

Not really. Why?
Do you have something to tell me?

No. Did you call Amy?

Almost every day, for a while,
and then not so much.

When was the last time
you talked to her?

I don't know.
Maybe 10 days ago.

You broke up.

No. I left my phone charger at a hotel
I was staying at, and I never had the chance.

We didn't break up.

- Not yet, anyway.
- Are you going to break up?

I'm not going to break up with her,
but she may break up with me.

Because you didn't call her? I don't think
she'd break up with you because you didn't call her.

Did you do something else?

Like?

Like what you went there to do?

I went there to work.
And I worked.

Everything but
yearbook staff.

Uh, yeah. That's when
I have home economics.

You don't have to take
home economics. You can take P.E.

- I wanna take home economics.
- Why?

So I can learn
how to manage a home.

What's so hard about
managing a home?

I don't know,
but I guess I'll find out.

I should've signed up for home economics.
Maybe I'll change from P.E.

Then we won't have P.E. together.

Well, then, maybe
I'll drop yearbook staff.

- What?
- I don't wanna be alone.

You're not alone.
You're at school.

- You know what I mean.
- No.

Oh, please. This isn't
about Jason, is it?

Yes, it's about Jason.

He might just be a brother to you,
but he was everything to me.

No, he wasn't. He was
just someone to go out with

that you were comfortable being with.

You need a real boyfriend.
I need a real boyfriend.

This is the year
we get boyfriends.

I don't know if I can live through
the pain of another breakup.

Me, either. I don't think I can live through
the pain of your going through another breakup.

So here's the plan:
You had a boyfriend last year.

I have a boyfriend this year.

But I want a boyfriend, too.

Then you'll just have to live
with the next painful breakup,

and you'll have to
do better this time around.

Hi, Madison.
How are you doing?

I'm okay, I guess.

Good. Good. Well,
have a nice day.

Okay.

Lauren.

Maybe we're not broken up.

No. You're broken up.

Did you see how he touched me?
He was, like, this close to my face.

Med camp. He's just trying to
instill confidence in you as a doctor.

But he's not a doctor.

Yeah, well,
try telling him that.

Look, I'm telling you, you will
be happy you broke up with him.

Hi. I'm new here.

I'm Griffin.

Okay, I'm not just new.
I'm also a freshman.

Hi, freshman. Griffin.

You don't look like a freshman.

Are you freshmen?

No. Do we look like freshmen?

I don't know.

Well, what are your names?

- Madison.
- Lauren.

Madison, Lauren, could you tell me
where the counselor's office is?

I don't care if he's
a freshman. I'm taking him.

Lauren, you can't
date a freshman.

Yes, I can.

When are they getting
a counselor?

I don't know.
I hope they don't get one,

'cause I get paid to do
two jobs until they do get one.

Hi.

Come back later.

Maybe he needed something.

Everybody needs something.
What do you need?

A better...cup.

Do they make a better cup
than the ones we already have?

And why is that?

Just concerned about injuries.

- Grace?
- Grace?

She went to brainiac camp, didn't she?

Yeah. For future medical students.

Future medical students? Please!

What percentage of those students
do you think ever really reach med school?

- I don't know.
- I don't know, either,

but I do know that every year,
I lose a player to fear.

Coach, I'm not afraid.

I'm just being cautious.

Because you're afraid
of a groin injury.

I wanna have children
someday with Grace.

Son, do you really think I'd be coaching
high school football if I thought for one minute

that one of my players might get a groin injury
and will never be able to have children?

Last year, Lucky Chucky
dropped out because of a groin injury.

Yeah. Lucky Chucky
wasn't so lucky.

Do you know where
his girlfriend spent her summer?

Med camp?


- Pneumonal.
- Try microscopic.

- Silico vochino.
- Kineisis.

That was hysterical.

What was hysterical?

Hi, Ricky. Good to see you.

How are you, Grace?

I'm fine, Ricky.
And how are you?

I mean that. How are you?

- Grace.
- Adrian!

- Are you doing okay?
- Oh. I think so.

What's with the close talk?

Oh, nothing. It's a doctor technique.
How was your summer?

Oh, we were busy. Really busy.
Weren't we, Ricky?

Yeah. I worked at the butcher shop
and spent a lot of time with John.

- And me.
- And her.

- "Her"?
- And how's John?

Oh. Thank you for asking.
He's fine.

- And Amy?
- She's fine, too. Until Ben breaks up with her.

- Ben is breaking up with her?
- Maybe.

Are you still talking to Ben?

Oh, there's no harm in
just talking to someone.

No, there is, depending on who you're
talking to and what you're talking about.

What...is...life?

Anyone know the answer?

Of course not.

All we know is
that there is life.

And from life...

comes life.

If I just focus on what she's saying,
maybe I won't think about oral sex.

- Don't think about it. Don't...
- The indication that life is present...

Oh.

Wait. What did she just say?

I didn't even know what I was doing,
which means I don't know if I can do that again.

The pressure. I hate the pressure.

We adapt.

I bet they're doing it.

Am I the only person
in here thinking about sex?

I don't know. Maybe I should've
had sex with Jason.

But he didn't ask me.
I wonder why he didn't ask me.

I'm sexy. I know, I know.

Sexy is as sexy does.
Or is it pretty is as pretty does?

I'd rather feel sexy than pretty.

Well, on the other hand--
Uh-oh. Did she just call on me?

- Smile.
- The ground forces the seed into a sprout,

and then a flower.

Whew.

Oh, geez.
The old pistil and stamen.

Could we just get to
the nitty-gritty?

Or could you point me to
the direction of a nice pistil?

Really.

Wow. They're really
paying attention.

I'm finally gonna
have a good year.

Finally.

Amy Juergens, you're the most beautiful,
most frustrating woman on earth.

You're dismissed.
Except for you two.

You two can copy chapter 1
into your little notebooks.

It's basically
everything that I said.

Now, I know we all know what you said,
but maybe you'd like to know what I said.

Not really.

Not really.

Hey there.
How's your day going?

Who wants to know?

Oh. Nice attitude. Griffin.

Ashley, the teen mother's sister.

Well, I know that's why
everyone's staring at me.

I'm the sister.

I-- I'm new here.
I don't know anything about that.

Well, my sister's in the tenth grade,
and she had a baby last year.

Wow. Uh, I mean,
you know, stuff happens.

Yeah.

Well, maybe you can
point her out to me.

Oh, she's pretty easy to spot.

She's the really pretty one with
the French horn who's unusually tired.

Is she tired from dragging
around the horn or the baby?

The baby, and just
from being Amy.

So, are you planning to get
pregnant your first year here?

No. Sorry. I'm not. I'm not even
planning to date my first year here.

Maybe not even
any year here, you know?

I don't want guys to think I'd have sex
just 'cause my sister had sex once.

Is that true?
It was just once?

- Yeah.
- Uh...

Believe me, when you meet her,
you'll realize it's totally true.

All right.
So you have lunch now?

Yep.

Do you wanna
have lunch with me?

You make it sound
as if it's a date.

No, it's not a date.
It's a lame attempt to make sure

I'm not sitting by
myself in the lunchroom.

Not that I haven't before.

All right. As long as you're not
gonna try to have sex with me.

I'm not gonna try to
have sex with you.

I'm gay, okay?

It's okay with me. Wow.

Maybe we could even be friends.

You know, I don't think
I've ever had a friend before,

and my dad's been really
anxious for me to make one.

Is this guy bothering you?

Ah, the father but not
the boyfriend.

Ricky, Griffin.
Griffin, Ricky.

And no, he's not bothering me.

All right. Well,
I was just looking out for you.

I don't need anyone
to look out for me.

Come on.

You got it.

I think you could be
wrong about that.

Aha!

- "Aha"?
- I knew when she walked through the door

that you would go after her.

- Who?
- Ashley. That's who.

Don't be ridiculous.
She's Amy's little sister.

So? So she's
Amy's little sister.

You think I'd go
after my son's aunt?

I don't think that would
stop you from going after her--

the fact that
she's your son's aunt.

Look, let's not play
this game, all right?

Either we trust each other,
or we don't trust each other.

- Do you trust me, or don't you?
- Do you trust me?

- No.
- I don't trust you either.

Then I guess it's just a matter
of not getting caught, isn't it?

- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah, Grace. Have a seat.

- I want to talk to you.
- Okay.

I don't want you to see or talk to Jack Pappas
for the rest of the football season.

It's not good for the team.
It's not good for Jack.

But why?

I don't want him distracted.

The other players
have girlfriends.

Not girlfriends
who wanna be doctors.

I don't like those
kind of girlfriends.

- Why not?
- I don't want my players
afraid of getting hurt.

If all Jack can think about is getting injured,
he's not gonna be much use to me.

Well, maybe he shouldn't
play football.

Maybe you shouldn't be a doctor.

Maybe you shouldn't be
the counselor and the football coach.

But I am.

You're right, Coach. You are.

I completely understand.

I don't want Jack or any of the other
players worried about groin injuries.

- That should be the last thing on their mind.
- I agree.

Which is why I think you should look
into a groin-strengthening program.

It's 15, 20 minutes
a day at the most.

And it's cutting groin
injuries in half.

Don't say "cut" and "groin"
in the same sentence, Doc.

Thanks for the tip.

You want me to get you
the information on the program?

Preventative medicine
is the best medicine.

And when the players don't have to
worry about those types of injuries,

I bet they'll be able to
focus on the game.

Oh, you're good.

Thanks. I was top of
my class at camp.

Are you thinking of getting
into sports medicine?

I am kind of interested in it.

I got interested in
it because of Jack.

All right.
You can go out with him.

Just don't talk to him.

I'll try not to. Thanks, Coach.

I mean, um, maybe I could
get a schedule change.

- Yeah, maybe you could.
- But I'd hate to do that.

Because even if we do break up,
I hope we can still be friends.

Yeah. I hope we can
still be friends, too.

Is that what you want--
just to be friends?

No, that's not what I want.

But I can understand if that's all you want,
especially after your summer in Italy.

Amy, wait.

I didn't do anything.

I just took some time to
see the country while I was there.

- With your girlfriend.
- No. She was just a girl I worked with.

I went with her
and her girlfriend.

They wanted to show me
some things before I left.

Girlfriend girlfriend,
or girlfriend?

- They're not gay.
- Oh.

Neither am I.

And I'm not either,
but what does that mean?

I still love you, Amy.

But I'm a guy,
and I want to have sex.

- And if we're not gonna have sex, then--
- Then you're breaking up with me.

- No.
- If that's all you want,
I'm breaking up with you.

That is not what
I was going to say.

I was gonna say, then we have to
find some things we have in common.

We have to find some things to
do together with John as a family.

We have to find a way to spend time together
and enjoy being with each other.

And I hope we can do that, Amy,
because I do love you.

Really?

Really.

I'm 16, and I have a baby.

Yeah.

This is turning out to maybe not be such
a bad first day of school after all.

You still love me.

I'm so happy that
you still love me, Ben.

Once I get home,
David's getting me a new car.

Does your dad know about that?

Well, then I would
hold off...??

Look who's home!
My little John!

How's my little John?

How are you, sweetie?
How was it, Ash?

How was...

Your first day of high school?

That. Um, it was fine.

Fine? I want details.

Well, the bell rang,
and I went to class.

The bell rang,
I went to the next class.

The bell rang again,
and I went to another class.

And then the bell rang,
and I went to lunch.

How was lunch?
Did Amy sit with you?

No. She has her own friends.

- So did you sit all by yourself?
- Mom, I'm not a total loser.

I did not sit by myself.
I sat with a guy.

- A guy?
- Yeah, a guy.

Well, Ashley, I hope that you're gonna
have some girlfriends as well as boyfriends.

I'm sure you're gonna be
very popular with the boys.

But it's nice to have some girlfriends,
too, don't you think?

- I don't know.
- Well, so, it went okay, right?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Where's Amy?

She's talking to Dad.
They told me to come in here.

- What are they talking about?
- I don't know. That's why they sent me in here.

Mom, I think I might've
done something bad.

- What something bad?
- Well, I told Dad about the car.

- What?
- I just thought he should know.

But I told you that I was
gonna talk to David about it.

- Did you?
- No, I told him to wait,
and we would talk about it later.

- The three of us?
- No, Amy. The two of us.

He wants to buy me a car.
It's a brand-new SUV.

- Well, Amy, he can't.
- He can't? He already did.

He's supposed to bring
it home this afternoon,

and I just didn't want Dad
to get upset when it got here.

- Where's your dad?
- I guess on his way back to work.

- Ashley, call him.
- Who?

- Your father!
- Oh, right.

- Ash.
- Dad?

What do you want?

- Motorcycle accident?
- It's nothing. I'm selling the bike.

- Good.
- I was on my way to
your boyfriend's office,

but apparently he's already
left for the car dealership.

Look, I told him that I was gonna talk
to him later, which is my way of saying no.

I just hadn't gotten around
to the "no" part yet.

Yeah, I'll get to that part.
He's not bribing my daughter with a car.

- SUV.
- Girls, I need a minute with your mother.

Now!

I lied. I didn't have a vasectomy.

Oh, nice. I thought
maybe it just came undone.

No, I lied.
So I'm just gonna say it.

I think that's my baby, Anne.

Yeah, I think it is, too.

In fact, I know it is.
David knows it, too.

I figured that if you weren't
in love with me anymore,

if you didn't want me
or the baby, then--

What are you talking about?
I love you. I've always loved you.

Well, why didn't
you say anything?

Especially after you
thought it was your baby?

Because I thought-- I thought
you were in love with this guy,

and I thought he was
everything you wanted.

You deserve to have
whatever you want.

If you're not in love with this guy,
and you knew it was my baby,

why'd you serve me
with divorce papers?

- Why'd you sign them?
- I thought you didn't love me anymore.

And I thought you didn't want the baby
to be my baby even if you knew it was my baby.

Obviously, you didn't wanna
have any more children with me,

or you wouldn't have
insisted I get neutered.

I didn't plan on having
any more children, George.

We weren't planning on
having the first two.

How did you manage not to get me pregnant
for 10 years after you lied about the vasectomy?

Calendar. I kept a calendar.

As the years went on,
chances grew slimmer.

You relied on a stupid calendar
for birth control? Are you insane?

Hey, I didn't care
if we got pregnant or not.

I always wanted another child.

David loves me, and he's willing
to take care of me and the baby.

We're not in love,
but we love each other.

And we're happy, pretty much.

- "Pretty much"?
- Well, it's very comfortable.

"Comfortable"? You're
settling for comfortable?

I'm comfortable with comfortable.

And I like working with him,
and he wants a family.

Well, he can't have my family.

The three of you-- you, Amy and John--
moving up to that house you're renovating?

Amy doesn't wanna move.

We have a guest house for her,
but she doesn't wanna move.

She wants to stay here
and finish high school.

But David thinks that
she'd be better off there.

- He thinks she'll be very happy there.
- Who cares what David thinks?

And why would she do
better there than here?

If she did agree to move, you're gonna
leave Ashley here and never see her again?

No. I figured that Ashley
would come up on the weekends,

and that maybe later on, she would
move in with us if she wanted, if you wanted.

Look, I know that Ashley's
very happy living with you.

She's happier living with
her dad than with her mom.

It's every teenage girl's dream
and every mother's worst nightmare.

I know. I read, you know.
Well, not fiction, but I do read.

That's why I thought it'd be
best if we stayed close by.

Anne, you can't move.
You can't take Amy.

You can't take John. You can't take
my grandson. And you can't take our baby.

He can't take you. I love you.

- So you lied about the vasectomy?
- Yeah.

So it is my baby?

Well, unless the due date
is way off, it's yours.

I can fix this. I can fix it.

George, I think that things
have gone too far to fix.

David and I have
worked it all out.

It's too late.

It's never too late.
Let me fix it.

How?
