The Secret Life of American Teenager 112

Anne: I'm starving, I think I'll have a glass of orange juice and maybe some whole wheat toast.
Amy: Sounds good and healthy too. I think I'll have the same. Do you need some help?
Anne: I don't get it.
Amy: You're not making breakfast?
Anne: Oh, I thought I'd let you make breakfast, you know, just practise a little bit.
Amy: Oh, but mom, I'm kind of tired.
Anne: I'm kind of tired too.
Amy: Well, I'm pregnant, and, I've been in school all week.
Anne: I think we need to talk. In just a few months, you're gonna have a baby and it's gonna be up to you to care for that baby and care for yourself too. I mean not that I won't take care of you. I'm your mother, I'll always take care of you, just like you'll always take care of your baby, because it's your baby and if what you want to do is keep that baby, and just know that baby is your responsibility.
Amy: I know that, but I still have to go to school and go to band practice, and do all the stuff I normally do.
Anne: If you can do all the stuff that you normally do, and take care of the baby.
Amy: I just assumed that you'd keep the baby while I went to school. You can do that, right? Keep the baby while I'm at school.
Anne: Amy, I have to get a job. I've been looking for a job, and hopefully soon I'll have one.
Amy: And where's the baby gonna be, if you're at work and I'm at school?
Anne: Well, that's up to you, and it's also up to you to pay for any child care that comes with the baby, don't you think?
Amy: No, not really. I was hoping that you and dad would get back together, and then you wouldn't have to work and you can keep the baby?
Anne: Well, what if I don't wanna get back together with dad? What if I want to work?
Amy: You don't want to go to work, that's why you stay home.
Anne: Amy, we don't always get to do what we wanna do when we wanna do it. That's not the way that life works, and I didn't stay at home because I wanted to stay at home. I stayed at home because somebody had to be here to take care of you and Ashley and I'm happy that we could afford to do that. That I could stay home and take care of you. But now it's my turn, now it's time for me to take care of me.

George: I don't smell any breakfast in here. Grandpa needs a cup of coffee.
A: You'll have to get it yourself, that's the new rule round here.
George: What did I miss?
Anne: I was just explaining to Amy that if she wants to keep the baby, then she's gonna have to take care of that baby.
George: Why can't you do it?
Anne: Because I have to find a job.
George: Doing what? You've never finished that bachelor's degree philosophy. If you wanna be a philosopher you're gonna need that degree.
Anne: George, I think it's time that you move out and find your own place.
George: I think I'll get some coffee first.
Anne: And then find your own place.
George: We don't have any money.
Anne: Really? I don't see how it's possible that we suddenly went broke in the past couple of months. I think you're hiding the money.
George: So now you're a detective and a philosopher? Well, shouldn't you have been able to figure out that Amy was pregnant sooner, as well as why she got pregnant?
Anne: George, I'm serious. I want you to move out, and I want a divorce, and it wasn't philosophy, I was majoring in women's studies.
George: Well, obviously, I didn't get your degree, and either I still wouldn't be waiting for a cup of coffee.

Ben: What's wrong? I thought you said this is an emergency.
Amy: My mother decided that she's not going to keep the baby. She told me this morning that she's not gonna keep the baby, she's going to get a job. Now that the worst possible time, the baby's gonna be born in three months. Why now? Do you still wanna get married?
Ben: Of course, but I think your parents said "no" to that one unfortunately.
Amy: I'm not asking for their permission this time, and neither should you, and neither should your dad, we have to do it now.
Ben: We're underage.
Amy: Do you wanna marry me?
Ben: Yes, I said I did, but, I'd like our families to be there.
Amy: Well, Ben, this is not the type of wedding that you send out invitations to invite the family, we have to elope.
Ben: Sounds if you really thought this one through. How did you get here?
Amy: My mom dropped me off. Told her applying for a job, but I really just want a breakfast, and I wanted to talk to you face to face.
Ben: We'd have to talk to my dad. I want my dad to be there.
Amy: No dads, we just need a couple of witnesses.
Ben: And when were you thinking of doing this?
Amy: The sooner the better, and we were supposed to hang out tonight anyway, so why don't we just get married instead?
Ben: All right. I mean, we're going to get married in a few years anyway, so...why not? Let's do it.

Tom: You can't go out with Ricky.
Grace: No, that's not what Mom and Dad said, they just said they like him, they just need to get to know him better.
Tom: Read between the lines.
Grace: Read between the lines?
Tom: They will never know him, they won't let you go out with him, ever. Sounds like they won't let me go out with Betty, ever.
Kathleen: Right, you cannot go out with an internet prostitute.
Grace: But I can go out with Ricky, right? When you get to know him?
Kathleen: Tom, can I talk to Grace, alone?
Grace: Am I wrong? I thought you said I could go out with him if you got to know him better.
Kathleen: Honey, here's what I've decided, after thinking about our conversation. You can go out with Ricky, if that's what you wanna do. You can stay out as late as you want, as long as I know where you are, who you're with and what you're doing.
Grace: Really? When did you decide this?
Kathleen: When your dad decided he liked to go on a golf thing weekend with his buddies.
Grace: Oh, is he still upset over that little bit of information I overheard?
Kathleen: You heard wrong, when I cheated on George, it wasn't with your dad, so he didn't know anything about that. And I'm still upset with you for thinking that two of us were being hypocritical by asking you to wait until marriage. Your father and I did wait until we got married and I do want you to wait. Grace, my mom was so strict that I never had any kind of physical contact with any guy until I married George, and basically I married him because I wanted to have sex with him, I couldn't say that to my mom. We never talked about sex. So, I'm hoping that if you and I can talk, if I don't force you in hiding things like my mother did, that you will wait and that you'll come to me and talk to me if situations are presenting themselves that make it difficult to wait.
Grace: But dad is coming home, right? I mean, it didn't like cause you guys to get a divorce or something?
Kathleen: No, he'll be home soon. He's just off on a golf trip. I'm sure he'll be back in a couple of days, he just need some time away from me. I mean, he was pretty upset, and I should've told him before, but I'm happy that it's out in the open. Just learn something, honey, if you make a bad decision, you're responsible for that decision, even if it doesn't catch up with you for years.

Tom: You couldn't tell me that?
Kathleen: You know what, Tom? You can date, too, and I know someone if you're interested.
Tom: If it's Adrian, forget about it. It won't work now that Grace is going out with Ricky. Bad mix.
Kathleen: No. We have someone new in the neighborhood, and I can fix you up if you want.

Adrain: I don't mind changing schools, I just think he should consult you. I think it's something we should've talked about together as a family.
Cindy: Well, he did say that he had some connections to put you into private school, and I didn't object.
Adrain: But you didn't agree. Mom, you put your hard-earned money into this condo in this neighborhood, so I can go to my school. It's a magnet school. It's a great school.
Cindy: But you don't have great friends. Look, this could be a fresh start.
Adrain: Or it would set me back. I mean, I'm doing really well, I'm the top of my class, and I hate to say this, because I like him. But, nothing could should just get in his way.
Cindy: So are you. Look, if you don't want go to this school, just tell him that you don't wanna go.
Adrain: See, I don't know. I don't know what I wanna do. I mean, do you think that we can all just get together and talk?
Cindy: I've talked to Ruben, but I haven't seen him in years.
Adrain: Well, you should see him and you should let him see you. I mean, you look great, show him what he missed out.
Cindy: I don't know. It's just I get so intimidated with his job and his success and everything.
Adrain: Don't let him do that to you.
Cindy: You know your father has happily married.
Adrain: You've gone out with a lot of happily married guys.
Cindy: I have not. Ok, one or two, but it doesn't matter. If you think I'm gonna get back with your father, this is not going to happen.
Adrain: I'm not thinking that. Are you thinking that?
Cindy: No, I'm not thinking that. You know, look, remember, I'm your mother, not your best friend.
Adrain: Yeah, I know and I respect that.
Cindy: I am kind of curious to see him.

Ricky: How are you?
Grace: I am great. Guess what?
Ricky: Oh, I'm not that good at guessing.
Grace: My mom said we can go out whenever as late as we want. We just have to let her know where're we going and what're we doing.
Ricky: I thought they wanted to get to know me better.
Grace: She changed her mind, and my dad's out of town.
Ricky: Well, that's good news.
Grace: I know. It's like the answer to my prayer.
Ricky: You prayed about this?
Grace: Yes, continuously.
Ricky: That's a lot.
Grace: So did you want to go out tonight?
Ricky: Sure. Where do you want to go?
Grace: I don't know. It's our first date. I mean, what should we do for our first date? We should do something special.

Guy: Hey, I'm selling the information, don't give it away.
Ricky: That doesn't even look like me.
Guy: Well, no one has a good picture on a fake ID.
Ricky: How'd you find out about Amy and Ben anyway?
Guy: They called me, they're gonna need a couple of those.
Ricky: So where's the wedding?
Guy: Why would you wanna know?
Ricky: Because I'm going, I'm the father of the baby.
Guy: Details enclosed.

Ashley: So do you know that dad is moving out? He's packing his things right now.
Amy: He knew he'd move out at some point. I think he's moving close by.
Ashley: No, we didn't know he'd move out at some point, tell him you don't want him to leave. I got him back last time, now it's your turn.
Amy: Mom is not going to listen to me. She won't even keep the baby for me. I asked her if she'd keep the baby for me when I was at school and band and she said she wouldn't. She's going to get a job. Can you believe that?
Ashley: You thought she would keep the baby for you? What do you mean keep the baby? For 24 hours a day while you have a life?
Amy: Not 24 hours a day, just most of the day, Monday through Friday. Whose side are you on?
Ashley: Dad's. Why would she agree raise the baby anyway? Why would you want her to? Look at the two of us, we're completely screwed up. That kid's better of adopted.
Amy: Ashley, this is my baby, and I'm going to keep my baby.
Ashley: I thought you want mom to keep your baby.
Amy: Ashley, let's not fight today. This is my wedding day. Ben and I are getting married and we want you and Henry to be our witnesses. I'm not kidding. Ben and I are getting married. You can't tell mom or dad, we're all getting fake IDs, no one knows and nobody has to know.
Ashley: Amy, don't you think you're in enough trouble already, having a baby? Now you're getting married without mom and dad's permission?
Amy: Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? I mean, I don't know what I was thinking. I'm practically an adult. I have to start making my own decisions. I wanna get married, and I'm going to get married, with or without you? But I'm asking you to be there. Please.
Ashley: I don't know, maybe. Maybe worth it, may not be. You really think you can get away with these?
Amy: How upset can they get? I'm marrying a guy I'm madly in love with, and he's a great guy. He'll take good care of me and the baby. And, they don't have to do anything. Come on, say you'll do it, and, I'll tell you where dad is moving.

Guy: So, I've never seen you around this place before.
Ashley: You will.
A: Hurry. My mom's getting the car washed. I told her I'd take Ashley and show her the school. How much do we owe you?
Guy: Oh, I cut the groom a very special deal. Four for the prices of six. I'm kidding.
Amy: How did you know about the groom part? That's supposed to be a secret. You didn't tell anyone else, did you?

Ashley: So how'd they do with the car?
Anne: Oh, they're not done yet. I figured that I just stopped by when they're still washing it.
Amy: Mom, you shouldn't have done that. I don't think high school journalists are known for being the best car washers in the world. I wanna keep an eye on them.
Anne: I'm sure it'll be fine.
Amy: I still haven't heard from the coffee shop yet.
Anne: I'll help you do. I think it's really great that you decided to get a job, of course part-time job doesn't usually have insurance, but it's a start. Have you thought about how much you're gonna be making and how much child care's gonna cost? I really hope that you can handle working and going to school and being a mother. Wait a minute, you don't think that you can hire Ashley to watch the baby, right? Because Ashley has to go to school, and you too.
Ashley: Hey, let's all get jobs.
Anne: I'm just waiting for Ashley to ask me what kind of job I'm getting, or make some other kind of comment.
Ashley: Why would I do that?
Anne: Because you usually have a comment to make at a time like this.
Ashley: Yeah, I'm trying to improve in that area, because I know you have a lot to worry about with Amy being pregnant and dad.
Anne: What about dad? I told him today that he has to find his own place.
Ashley: He told Amy he found something pretty close by.
An: That's what he said. He's gonna be leaving this afternoon.
Ashy: He even said that he might be gone before we get back.
Anne: And you two aren't upset about this?
Amy: Of course we're upset, but he'll be around.
Ashley: Oh, yeah, he'll be around.

Ben: I didn't know you were gonna be here. I knew Amy and Ashley're gonna be here, but I didn't know about you. I would like you to meet my best man Henry.
Henry: Before you go, Ashley, I was wondering who to ask first, you or your mom. I guess I can ask both of you at the same time. Would you like to hang out over at Ben's house tonight? And, maybe watch a movie or something?
Anne: If you want to.
Henry: Thank you for allowing Ashley to hang out.
Anne: You're welcome.
Amy: We should probably go check on the car.

Henry: Oh, I think I had my eyes shut.
Guy: Well,
