Post by bunniefuu »

Only I want to give you my reasons
for not having sex.

I'm going to be speaking about
that at my TAG group tonight.

Ashley's made a commitment
not to date in high school.

I don't want
to go out with her.

I just want to marry her
and have children with her.

Don't you think Amy's just
going to hate you more

if you make friends
with Ashley?

Yes.

Grace is going to talk about
not having sex.

What will Jack
be talking about?

Everything's not fine
if you're on bed rest.

Everything is fine
as long as I'm on bed rest.

Mom said she wants us
to be there.

- Why?
- She does not want us to have sex.

It's not her decision.

You won't believe
what this guy can do.

George, we don't need a dog.

I'm still thinking about
doing it again.

So are you.
I'm sorry, Jesus.

He might be right.

I want to have sex with guys who could
potentially be a husband for me.

I want to see other people.

Thanks for standing past me
this past year.

Not this past year.

My whole life.

- It's going to be fine.
- Sure it is.

I was thinking you could move in
with Amy, share a bedroom with her,

and we could keep the babies
in the nursery together.

Wow.
Lucky me.

Did you bring home a couple of
bunk beds from the store?

One of those ones with the little desk.
Maybe a slide.

Pumpkin, anything for you.

- How about something
in a nice maple finish?
- Why not?

Amy's going to have the closet full,
so I could bring a matching armoire.

- All right.
- You're serious, aren't you?

Yeah, unfortunately.

You would live
in the same room as Amy?

Where else would I live?
In the nursery?

The nursery was your room.
Amy could put John in her room.

We'll keep the baby
in our room.

If thought that would
keep Mom or Amy

from having another baby,
I would do that.

Frankly, I don't think Amy
wants John back in her room,

and I don't think you or Mom
want a baby in your room,

so that's how it is.

That's the way
it could have gone,

but I got a surprise.

Oh, joy.
Another surprise.

I wasn't just moving things around in
the garage the last couple of weeks.

I reinstalled the urinal,
more as an art piece.

- Why would you do that?
- ???

I made the garage into a room for you.
You want to see it?

You didn't furnish it,
did you?

No, no, no. I'm going
to give you some cash,

and then you can do
whatever you want.

Good morning.

It's not a good morning
unless you get in here and help me.

What are you and Dad
doing anyway?

How much packing
could there be?

Oh, and Mom said she doesn't want
any of that stuff back over here.

Good morning, sunshine.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

For what?

This.

When did this happen?

Past few weekends.
Little something I was working on.

- So now we don't have to live together.
- What?

Dad built this for me.

And for Amy, in that now...

Ashley will not have to share
your room with you.

Your mother and I
thought it would be a good idea.

You and Mom are not
going to let her move in here.

Oh, yes they are.

Why does she get
the big new room?

'Cause your spawn
is in my room.

If anyone's moving in here, it should
be me, because I have a spawn.

I have a baby.

And I need the bigger room.

Ames.

I hope that's the last time
I see her in here.

THE SECRET LIFE OF
THE AMERICAN TEENAGER S02EP11

Hey.

Hi.

Who let you in?

I ran into your mom and Ruben.
They're going to get boxes.

Yeah, I know.

- You could have called.
- I'm waiting for an e-mail.

On your phone?

Yeah, I get e-mail
on my new phone,

so I don't need
to wait around by a computer.

And since I don't need
to wait around by a computer,

I figured I'd drop by
because I thought...

Maybe we could have sex one last time
before you move? One for the road.

Aw, Mr. Sentimental.

We had a lot
of good times in here.

Yeah.

Laying out there,
and on the patio,

and in the parking lot.

And still, you're not
in love with me

and we're never
going to get married,

so I'm never
going to have sex again...

- With you.
- Come on.

You know you want to.

I might want to,
but I'm not going to.

You bought a house
so we could do it

and so I wouldn't be doing it
with anyone else.

Yeah, well,
I still like the house.

I just don't like you.

Come on,
don't hurt my feelings.

You don't have feelings,
do you?

Well, not feelings
for me, anyway.

You know I care about you.
I love you, Adrian.

No, you don't.
You don't love me.

You just tell me you love me
when you're trying to have sex with me.

I know you love me, Adrian.

Yeah, well, I will love again.

Oh, here's your white belt.

And I think this is
your t-shirt, isn't it?

You think?

Look, I don't want to have
any bad mojo between us.

Let's just be friends, okay?

Friends with benefits?

- I'm okay with that.
- Well, I'm not.

I'm going to find
a new beneficiary,

and you should, too.

I'm moving. I'm changing my life.
I'm starting over.

I don't just
want sex anymore.

I want someone to love.

Someone who is the someone.

Someone that I can
marry someday.

Someone that I can
have children with someday.

I think I deserve that.

Okay, would you put down
that phone?

I can't put down my phone. Amy sent me a
shopping list of stuff she needs for John.

This is the e-mail I was waiting for.
That's why I got the phone.

Good, then your next girlfriend
can e-mail you on your phone.

I don't care.

I'm looking for a relationship,

and I'm going to find someone else
who's looking for a relationship.

I deserve to be in a
committed relationship.

You do. You do, Adrian,

but I'm just not going to
marry you or anyone else,

and John is the only baby
I ever want to have with anyone.

Bye, Ricky.

Amy, she's giving up
the whole house, not--

Moving day.

Ashley and George are
moving back into the house,

and George decided to make the
garage into a room for Ashley.

So?

So Amy thought that
she should have the garage.

Hey, did you tell him?

Did he tell you?

No, I didn't tell him.
I didn't get a chance.

Why don't you tell him?

I'm moving in.

Uh, that's great.
Congratulations. Welcome.

Oh, hey, thank you
for saying that.

Even if you don't mean it,
thank you.

No, I mean it.

I love having you here, Betty.

But weren't you
already living here, kind of?

Kind of, but...

now Mr. King says. I can move in
some of my stuff, if I want,

and I want.

- I can't wait to see.
- I can't wait for you to see.

All right, I got to go
meet the movers. Bye.

You want me to come?

No, I can handle it.

- Bye, Ben.
- Bye.

I don't know why I said
she could bring her things.

I do.

Just joking around, Dad.

Well, don't joke around
like that.

I love this woman.

I know.

Question is, do you love her things?

Not that much.

Mom?

Oh, Grace. Hi.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Okay, see you later.

Where you going?

Nowhere. Bye.

- Mom?
- Yes, Grace?

You don't want to tell me
where you're going?

Oh, nowhere really.
I'll be back.

You're not--

Going on a date
or something, are you?

Grace? No, please.
A date?

Your father hasn't
been dead six months.

Five months, three days
and eleven hours.

Right.
Not six months, even.

I got to run. I told Tom I'd be back
by five, so see you for dinner.

Grace, I'm helping deliver food
to the homeless, okay?

I volunteered. I want to get
out of the house.

- Okay.
- Bye.

Get over here. We've got
seven hours of freedom.

Seven hours of freedom?

Sorry, what?

You and Tammy cannot spend
all day in the house.

Oh, but we can.

No, but you're not going to.

I know what you're up to.

- I know what you're up to.
- What is that?

The same thing I'm up to.

I am never having sex again.

- What?
- I'm never having sex ever again,

- until I'm married.
- What?

Tom, I said I'm never
having sex ever again,

until I'm married.
And I mean that.

Say it over and over,
'cause no one will believe that.

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.

- Jack?
- Yeah?

I just found out my mom's out of the house for
the next seven hours feeding homeless people.

Although now might not be
a good time.

So we're doing it again?

I don't know, but maybe today
will be a good day

to just talk about
avoiding temptation.

And we can do that
in the privacy of my bedroom.

Is Tom going to be around?

Yeah, but he'll probably
be in his room with Tammy.

Are you sure
they're not doing it?

They'd better not be.

I'm going to shower
and I'll be right over.

I'll be here.

Oh, and do you have that book
on how to avoid sex?

Yeah, but believe me,
this isn't how.

Bring it anyway.

She was willing to move
into your room with you.

Who said she could
move into my room?

Ashley gave John her room.

You don't have to
give her the garage.

Mom gets a dog,
Ashley gets the entire garage.

What do I get?

Let me see. A new SUV?

I knew it. That's what
this is about. Revenge.

You don't want me to have
a place to park my new car

because you didn't want me
to have that car.

- Revenge, revenge, revenge.
- No, it is not.

The car's in your mother's name,

so the car's between
you and your mother.

I don't care if she gives it to you
or doesn't give it to you.

Whatever she decides
is okay with me.

By the way, the dog
is going back.

- You tell Mom that?
- Not yet, but I'm going to.

She doesn't want a dog,
so we're not keeping the dog.

What makes you think
she doesn't want the dog?

- She said so.
- She said she doesn't want Moose?

Moose is going?

Your mom doesn't want him.
She doesn't want a dog,

so I called the guy
and told him to pick him up.

- Wait, a guy's coming
to pick up Moose?
- Afraid so.

Because you think Mom
doesn't want him.

That's what she said.

- That won't happen.
- Of course not.

Nothing bad ever happens
in Ashley world.

- Oh, shut up.
- You shut up.

Both of you shut up.

Your mother's having a baby,

and she doesn't want to hear the
two of you arguing, and neither do I.

This is when we all have to
come together as a family.

We're living under one roof
as one family,

so let's start acting
like a family again.

A real family that loves and supports
and respects each other.

You and Mom are not married,

so we're not
a real family anymore.

She has a point.

Do you think you could give me some cash
to go shop for my room?

And could you take me
shopping for my room?

It's a little difficult
to get furniture on my bicycle.

I forgot that we're not
married anymore.

I forgot that your mother
and I are divorced.

It's just a piece of paper,
the divorce and the marriage.

Right, but we're not married legally,
and the baby's coming.

You're not going to have time
to get married before the baby comes.

And she's certainly
not going to marry you

if a guy shows up
to take Moose.

She doesn't want the dog.

It breaks my heart
to give him up,

but I'm going to do whatever your mother
wants, and so are you and so is Amy.

Yes, all right.

Can you take me shopping?

I can't take shopping.
I have to take care of your mother.

By taking her dog?

One more time, she said
she didn't want him.

She doesn't want him.

Well, You're her husband.
You should know.

Oh, wait.
You're not her husband.

Thanks.

What's with all the stuff?

Diapers, food, juice, baby wipes,
lotions, soap, et cetera, et cetera.

I'll get Amy.

That's okay. I can
put this stuff away.

I know where it goes.

What's she in
such a bad mood about?

Are you sure she's in a bad mood?
How can you tell?

Alright, don't say anything bad
about my son's mother, okay?

- If you insist.
- I insist.

My sister's upset
that I got the garage.

- It's my new room.
- Why does she care about that?

I don't know. It's bigger
than her room.

This is why I got sent
on the errand from hell,

because you got
the bigger room?

Sorry, I'm having a bad day.

Maybe you just need
to get out for a while.

I'm supposed to watch John
while Amy's watching your mom.

My dad's watching my mom.

I don't have any place to go.
Really.

I just wasn't excited about bulk
shopping and then coming over here.

I want to look
for furniture for my room.

Maybe some yard sales
or something.

Second-hand stores.

You want to take me?

Yeah, I'll take you.

You want to ask your dad first?

No, I told you,
he's watching my mom.

I'll leave them a note.

I do have these in black.

Oh, boys, over here.

Yeah, I don't think
I'm going to take that.

Why do you have
a dentist chair?

They're very comfortable.

They're the most comfortable
chairs in the world.

When you spend a lot of hours
at the dentist,

you want to be
comfortable, right?

Right. Yeah. I'm going to take
the red heels.

They look as if
they've hardly been worn.

Yeah. I mean, they've hardly
touched the floor.

Oh, Mom, come on.
Let me get the handcuffs. Please?

Sure. Enjoy.

Thank you.

And don't forget
to wear protection.

Why you giving
all this up?

'Cause I'm getting married...

to the Sausage King.

You okay?
I'm fine.

What's wrong?

It's okay. Don't stop.
I'm fine.

Ow, ow. I'm sorry.

I just think
it's that time of the month.

I think I just got
my monthly visitor.

Jack, my Aunt Flo
is in the house.

The painters are here.
I fell off the roof.

Sounds like your vag*na's
really busy.

Maybe I should
come back later.

Jack Pappas,
what's wrong with you?

What is wrong with you,
Dr. Grace Bowman?

If you started your period,
you can tell me.

I was being polite.

What does polite
have to do with it?

You don't have to
hide that from me.

It was just me and my mom
in my house growing up.

I used to ride my bike
to pick up tampons.

- Really?
- Really.

Grace, you and I had sex.
We've seen each other naked.

I'm completely comfortable
with bodily functions.

Yours and mine.

I'm completely uncomfortable
with you saying that.

- Why?
- I don't know.

I just feel like I have to hide my
period from you or any other guy.

I mean, I was okay
with my dad knowing about it,

but he was a doctor
and we didn't even talk about it.

That's something we're going to have to
get comfortable with,

you and I,
if we're going to have sex.

We're not having sex
while I'm having my period.

Whatever you're
comfortable with.

I'd be okay with that.

- I'm not.
- All right.

But if you don't mind
getting on your bike

and making a trip
to the drug store,

I do find myself
out of a few things.

Sure.

Just write it down.

Hey.

Where are you going?

I'm just going to the store
to pick something up for Grace.

Yeah, right.
You're going to buy condoms.

Whoa, no, I'm not.

And if I were, that'd be my
business, not yours. Okay, Tom?

Still hurts, huh?

They are doing it.

I know they are.

That doesn't mean anything.

We don't have to do
what they do.

If they ran out and played in traffic,
would you?

Would it feel good?
Yes.

Tom.

I can't help it.

I love you, Tammy.

I want you.

I like it when
you talk like that.

But I like it better
when it's over the phone.

I have to go.

- Call me, Tom.
- Bye.

Hi there.

Oh, Benjamin.

Hey, you just couldn't wait to see
what I was bringing over, huh?

Uh, you've met
Henry and Alice, right?

Hi, little friends.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You have a lot
of fun things here.

- How much are the handcuffs?
- Henry.

I tried to give
those away earlier.

They were given to me
by a friend.

He was a magician.

We didn't really come
to buy anything.

We just came by to see
if you needed any help moving.

You're not taking
the dentist chair?

It's a really cool chair.

- That would look good in Ben's room.
- Henry.

I-- I--

I don't think I have
room for that in my room.

Although it is
a very nice chair, Betty.

It was also given to me
by a friend.

He was a dentist.

Ah! The dentist makes sense.

I am going to keep
the spit basin.

You know, it's that little sink
where you spit in it,

and then the water
takes it around and around.

Yeah, I never had it
hooked up here,

but I'm sure your dad
must know someone.

You know, it looks so cute.

A little sink, next to
the big sink in the bathroom.

Uh, I don't know if that would fall into
our plumber's wheelhouse.

You may have to get a special plumber
who specializes in dentistry.

Oh. Do you think
I should leave it behind?

Yeah, what the heck?

If you weren't using it here.

And it does go
with the chair.

Yeah.

How much is the pogo stick?

- What's that used for?
- Jumping up and down.

Oh, I never thought of that.

You can have it
for a dollar.

Oh, hey. There's that nice boy
you work with. Ricky.

Oh, this is about to get
a whole lot more interesting.

How could it get
more interesting?

Ricky.

How are you?

Why do you keep
asking me that?

I found a home for Moose.

- You did what?
- I found a home for Moose.

There's a long waiting list
for those dogs.

As much as I hate to give him up,
there's another family that wants him.

That's all right.
We can keep him.

We can't. I already called the service.

They're picking him up.

Well, call them back.

I told them my wife is on bed rest
and she doesn't want a dog.

??

Tell them I changed my mind.

They're already on their way over here.

You were right. We're going to have
our three children and our grandson

living in a three-bedroom house
and you're looking after a baby.

Moose understands, don't you, Moose?

No, Moose does not understand.

Moose has already been in two homes,
and this is his third,

and he doesn't want a fourth home.
Do you, Moose?

George, I swear, if you let anyone
take this dog away from me,

you're never moving back
into this house ever again. Ever.

Ashley can sleep in the garage,

but I don't know
where you're going to sleep.

Anne, Moose will be fine. They only
let these dogs into the very best homes.

They let him come here.

This is a very best home.

And it's my home,
and I'm not giving up my dog.

We are ??, because you wanted
to give up our dog.

No, we are not doing anything like that,
because we are not a we.

We may be someday, but we're not right now.

Hey, Moose. How's it going?

Your daughter let me in.

Moose, call 911.

- What's going on?
- She's having a baby. She's nuts.

- Ugh!
- Don't scream. What are you screaming at?

- Ashley and Ricky.
- Ah!

This is all your fault.

You gave her the garage,
so you're responsible if she gets pregnant.

She's not going to get pregnant.

I don't want her out with him,
but she's not going to get pregnant,is she?

He's not answering. That's not a good sign.

- I'll e-mail him.
- Do you think they're at his apartment?

He has mobile e-mail. He doesn't have to be
by his computer to get e-mail.

That's why I made him get that phone.

I'm going to keep e-mailing,
texting and calling him until I find him.

When you find him, I'm going to k*ll him.

Hi. Do you mind if I put
a few more boxes in the garage?

- Where's your boyfriend?
- Who, Ricky?

Probably out looking
for someone to have sex with.

We broke up.

- Told you so.
- You told him that we broke up?

No, I told him that he's out with Ashley.

He's probably going to get her pregnant, too.

Does anyone in this house
know about birth control?

What's going on?

- Hi, Adrian.
- Yeah, hi.

All right, everybody out of the room
except Ricky.

Dad, what are you doing?
Ricky was doing me a favor.

What's the matter with you?

Didn't you see the favor
he did for your sister?

And ask me before you go on a date,
especially with him.

A date? No, this wasn't a date.

I'll just be next door.

Neighbors.

Yeah, she'll just be next door,
for the rest of my life.

Thanks, Dad.

Just when I was starting to trust you.

- What did I do?
- You didn't do anything.

Dad, he didn't do anything.

She asked me to take her to a garage sale.

- I took her. So what?
- So what? She's 14.

She's Amy's sister. She's my son's aunt.

I would never go anywhere near her.
I'd never do anything with Ashley.

I do have boundaries. You know?

Do you? Where were your boundaries
last year at band camp?

Wow. Isn't this the pot
calling the kettle black?

Why are you any better than I am?

Why does everyone always think
they're better than I am?

Because apparently,
you never learn from your mistakes.

Don't, okay? Just don't.

I'm trying. I'm really trying.

I've got a job, I'm living on my own,
I'm giving Amy every dime I can give her.

I'm spending all the time I can
here with my son.

And I would never think
about touching Ashley. Never.

I think you would.
I think you would think about it.

- But I wouldn't do it.
- But you would think about it.


Believe me, I'm not the one
you have to worry about.

It's not me. I'm not going there.

But there are plenty of guys
at school who would,

and her hanging out with some guy who's gay
is not going to discourage any of them.

And don't forget,
if she does get in trouble,

it's because you provided
a place for her to get in trouble.

And that's because he trusts me.

Completely.

Don't you, Dad?

Can I help you find your choice
in feminine protection, son?

I've been to three places,
and I can't find these.

Did they take them
off the market or something?

I don't know. I'll check.

I'll be right back.

Is that a lamb or a goat?

It's a lamb. Lambs say baa, right?

I don't know. But you are
definitely the sexiest lamb.

Oh, do you go near lambs often?

I do not.

Do you know him?

Yeah. He's my daughter's boyfriend.

- Oh, no. That's not good.
- No, it's not.

- You're still here.
- Yup, I'm still here.

I didn't do anything wrong,
so there's no reason I wouldn't be here.

I don't think you should be
with Ashley by yourself.

Because I might try to have sex with her?

And of course, if I was so stupid as to try
to do something like try to have sex with her,

of course she'd just give in
because she didn't learn anything

from watching what you've been through.

What was she supposed to learn?

To use birth control?

Maybe she learned to use birth control.
She has condoms.

- For what?
- I don't know.

But I imagine she wants to be prepared
in case she decides to have sex.

- She's too young to have sex.
- I was too young to have sex.

You still had sex with me.
You talked me into having sex.

I didn't talk you into having sex.
We were making out, and we just had sex,

because that's what happened, Amy.

And I thought you were prepared.

I thought if you didn't stop me,
you were on the pill or something.

If I'd planned on taking advantage of you,
I would have had a condom.

But I didn't, because I didn't plan it.

So this isn't all my fault. You know?

Yeah. That's why I'm so angry all the time.

- I'm angry at myself, and you.
- And the world.

- What a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do.
- Yeah.

But let's make sure
our son doesn't pay for it.

You think I'm taking this out on John?

I think you're a good mother, Amy.

But I think you don't enjoy him.

Well, I'm a little too tired to enjoy him.

Then give yourself a break.
Let me take him, or let me do more.

- I know you broke up with Adrian.
- Yeah.

Well, sooner or later,
I'll get back with Adrian.

And if I don't get back with Adrian,
I'll get with someone else.

So maybe you should realize you can't control
who holds John and who doesn't.

I really hate you.

Do you know that?

Oh, Amy. I know that.

Even when you're nice to me,

I know that.

Oh, hi. You're home.

Hey. Yeah, I've been home
for a couple hours.

You were asleep.

- Cramps.
- Oh. You okay?

I feel a lot better now.

Good. You want something to eat?

I don't know. Maybe, like,
some soup or something.

What'd you and Tom have?

We had hamburgers from Burger Shack.

Delicious.

We brought one for you, too,
but it's probably not that good now.

So if you want soup, I'll make you soup.

Maybe I'll microwave a hamburger.
That sounds really good.

Did you guys get a shake, too?

Yeah, but that's probably
not that good, either.

You know what, you guys?

Why don't we all just go
and drive through again?

It'll be fun.

You are in a good mood, Mom.

Why are you in a good mood?

Yeah. You are in a good mood.

I don't know. I just-- I am.
I'm in a good mood.

I had a great day.

Next time you go feed the homeless,
I want to come, too.

I like doing that.
It does make everyone feel good.

Yeah. It does.

No. I fed the homeless.
It doesn't make you feel that good.

What's up, Mom?

Nothing. Come on, you guys. Let's go.

I told Jack I'd call him when I got up.

Call him when you get back,
after you've had something to eat.

Okay. I'll get my jacket.

Tom, why don't you go get your jacket too?

All right. I'm not cold, but all right.

All right.

- Hi.
- You didn't say anything to Grace?

- About?
- About--

The drugstore.

- What drugstore?
- Thanks.

- Okay. I'm warm now.
- Good.

I want you to be warm.

Who are you having sex with?

Just kidding.

All right, you guys.

The reason I'm in such a good mood
is because...

I met someone.

A guy.

And I went with this guy
to feed the homeless.

And then we just hung out for a while.

Good for you. Let's go.

I hate you.

- Adrian.
- Yeah.

Let me in, please.

I'm not going to let you break up with me.
I don't deserve it.

I don't deserve to be with a guy
who's not serious about me.

We're too young to be serious.

We're not that young.

And we've been together for over a year,
and it's going nowhere.

If we know we're never going
to be married, then why be together?

Because we want to be together.

Ow, what are you doing?

I want to have sex,
and I want to have sex with you.

Okay. Calm down, okay.
I don't like you like this.

Like what?

I don't know, something's scaring me.

What? What am I doing that's so scary?
Why are you suddenly afraid to be with me?

Why is Amy's dad suddenly afraid
for me to be around her sister?

I haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything.

Okay, okay. It's okay, Ricky, all right?

It's not okay. It's not.

I'm tired of people judging me.

Poor Amy, she's a teenage mother.

Poor Amy, she's got a baby.

Poor Amy, nothing.
I'm a teenage father.

I've got a baby and Amy.

And no matter what I do, no matter
how much I take care of her and my kid,

she still hates me.

And she doesn't give me any credit
for anything, just like you.

You don't give me credit
for being honest with you.

I'm just being honest with you, Adrian.

If I told you I would marry you
when we're older, I'd be lying.

I'd be lying to myself

if I had sex with you right now
and told myself it was okay.

I'd be lying to myself

if I said I was comfortable
having sex with you

just because I'm feeling sorry for you.

Don't feel sorry for me. Forget it.

Wait, wait. Just wait.

I'd like to go to therapy with you.

The two of us.

No.

No.

I think we need to talk to someone.

I need to talk to someone,
but we don't need to talk to my therapist.

- Please.
- No.

Come on, Adrian, I just want to have sex.

I don't think so, Ricky.

I love you, but I don't think so.
It doesn't feel right for me anymore.

That might change, but right now?

No.

Ashley. I'm such an idiot.

Yeah, I agree.

I trust you. I do.

I just got scared, that's all.

Scared I'd have sex,
which means you really don't trust me.

No, Ashley, I do.

- But Ricky, he's--
- He's what?

He's an abused kid who stuck it out,
gone to years of therapy

and tried to make a better life for himself?

He's not a bad guy, Dad.
He's just a guy who's had a bad life.

That's what scares me.
That right there.

I asked him to take me.

I just felt like getting
out of the house for a while.

Look, I'm excited about the new room.

I'm just not excited about being back
in the house it's attached to.

I thought I wanted you and Mom
to get back together,

but that means I have to
get back together with Amy,

and I really don't want to.

You didn't ask Ricky to take you just
to t*rture Amy, did you?

No.

I would really be upset with you
if you did that.

The thought might have occurred to me
once I was out with him.

But I didn't go out thinking that.

You and Amy should talk.

I don't feel like talking to Amy.

Ashley, I wasn't asking you.

I was telling you.

Look at you.

Isn't that a perfect chair for this room?

It's comfortable, isn't it?

Totally comfortable.

Ben, I just want to give you a hug.

I just want to give you a hug, Betty.

You make my father really happy.

Oh, and I want to thank you for
talking me into leaving that stuff behind.

I was just afraid that if I didn't take
at least some of my stuff,

and it doesn't work out here,
I wouldn't have anything at all.

Even if things don't work out here--

And they will,
I know they will--

You would never leave here with nothing.

- My dad would never let you do that.
- I know.

That's why he gave me a pre-nup.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Hi. See you in our room.
- I'll be right there.

You're the best.

I saw an opportunity,
and I seized it. That's all.

How often do I get a chance
to do something for my dear old dad?

Why? Why do I get this funny feeling
I'm about to be asked for something?

No, it's nothing.It's just--

Do you think Amy can spend the night here?

We're not going to do anything.

Long as her parents say it's okay,then--
Did her parents say it's okay?

She's just feeling upset about the garage,

and Ashley asked Ricky if he could take her
garage sale shopping,

and it's just been a bad day.

But not because of you?

No, not because of me. Because of Ashley.

Then Amy needs to talk to Ashley.

I mean those two should be spending
the night in a room together, not you two.

You're right.

I was wondering--

Wondering about something more than that?

Do you think that Amy could move in here?

I know that you're happy with Betty here,
and I just thought--

Good night.

So that's a no.

As much as I love you,

and appreciate what you did today,

that's a good night.

- Good night, Dad.
- Love you, Ben.

I love you, too. Oh, wait.

Ciao. How are you?

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

It's something.

What are you doing here?

- I need to talk to your dad. Is he here?
- No. He isn't.

???

- Hey. How're you feeling?
- I don't want to talk right now.

I brought you a burger and fries.

Actually, I just brought it up.

Your mom and Tom picked it up.

I'll take it.

How you feeling, Miss Crampy?

My mom is dating.

- Oh.
- Oh?

My mom met my step-dad in grief counseling.

My mom's not going to marry this guy.

- Well, you never know.
- I know.

I know she's never getting married again.

You better take another look at your mom.

She's--

A really nice woman.

Come on now, Grace. She deserves to be happy.

My dad deserves to be happy, but he's dead.

We can't do anything about his happiness,

but we can do something about your mom's.

Are you hoping to ever have sex
with me again at some point?

I knew it. You have been warned.

I'm not warned. I wasn't warned.

I was att*cked.

And still, I'm here.

I'm right here,
and I'm not going anywhere.

We'll see about that.

Come on, Grace.
Mom's boyfriend is downstairs.

Let's go get him.

You knew my mom's gigolo was downstairs?

Friend. Her friend.

I don't want to meet him.

I do.

So Jack didn't tell her?

No, no. I told her.

Well, about you. Not bumping into Jack.

And what did you tell her?

Oh, I told her I met a guy.

Kind of a younger guy.

- Go on.
- That's it.

You're leaving out quite a bit
of information there.

I know. I'll tell her
when the time's right.

Tell me, tell me.
The time is right for me.

Hi, Tom. Jeff, this is my son Tom.

You're the boyfriend?

- Friend.
- Or boyfriend.

Whatever you want to call me.

Jeff Sagay. Dr. Sagay.

Dr. Sagay. Didn't you k*ll my dad?

No, that was my brother.

It was an accident, Tom.
Mechanical failure. You know that.

Jeff and I met at the attorney's office

when the insurance company
was trying to reach a settlement.

I'm really sorry about your dad, Tom.

Yeah. Sorry about your brother.

When Grace finds out about you,
you're next.

Good night.

- I'll see you later, buddy.
- Buddy?

You play football?

Yeah, yeah. I like to throw the ball
around a little bit, sure.

Can't wait.

Got to make a phone call.

I warned you.

- Yeah, well, warn me again.
- Okay.

Uh, you sure about this?

Oh, it's just sex.

Last time I had sex just to have sex,
it got me into a whole lot of trouble.

Yeah, well, you're already
in a whole lot of trouble.

I told my mom about you.

Look. We're both adults,
so if you want to wait--

I know we've talked about this before,
but I'm a Christian, and--

And I'm Jewish. So we'll have a good time.

We'll feel guilty for different reasons.

I can't.
I'm just not ready.

Well, maybe I am ready.

But this isn't the right time.

I need to be a parent tonight.

Your daughter's in her room
with her boyfriend, and Tom's on the phone.

George.

George.

- Moose, call 91--
- No, it's not an emergency.

I'm just hungry.

I'm really, really hungry.

I'm so hungry, I can't sleep.

All right. What do you want?

A big stack of pancakes,
with hot syrup and melted butter.

And not the frozen kind.

I want real ones made from scratch.

And a big, tall glass of cold milk.

Yeah. That's what I want.

- You got it.
- Really?

Really. Anything you want.

For the rest of your life.

Hey, Moose.

We had pancakes the night
the baby was conceived.

Think that means anything?

Hi.

Ricky went home.

He saw you looking at us.

Yeah, I was looking at you.

But I didn't come over there
because I trust you.

Want some pancakes?

- Are those for Mom?
- Yup.

Yeah, I might have one.

So what are you and Ricky talking about?

Lots of stuff.

Please, please, please don't go there.

I have no interest in going there.

I like him as a friend and because
he's the father of Amy's baby.

Don't encourage him to be
more than that, Ash. Please.

Don't encourage him to be
more than the baby's father.

I know he's trying.
I know he wants to be a good guy,

but Amy's been through enough already,
and she's got a good guy.

Yeah, I know.

And besides,
Ricky's not in love with Amy.

He's in love with Adrian.

Well, maybe Adrian can handle him,
but not Amy.

And certainly not you.

No kidding.

Hey, uh, when do you think
you might be coming here?

And by here, do you mean
America or right here?

Oh, yeah. Summer.

Summer would be a much,
much better time to come.
