The Secret Life of American Teenager 118

Doctor: Did you say your father? Your biological father?
Ricky: Yeah, but he's gone now.
Doctor: And when he was here, you didn't need to call me? You didn't wanna talk to me?
Ricky: I was too busy to call you. And besides, I was afraid you were still upset about the whole Lauren thing. And believe me, I don't like you upset.
Doctor: Well, I'm a little upset now. Your abusive father gets out of prison, every conversation we have ever had can be traced back to this guy, and you don't feel the need to drop by here and let me know what's going on?
Ricky: Hey, I'm here, aren't I?
Doctor: You saw him, you talked to him?
Ricky: We didn't exactly talk. He cornered me a couple of times in parking lots. He just wanted to try and take advantage of the baby. He thought he could make some money selling him to a couple. Not selling him exactly, just a finder's fee on an adoption. Anyway, he's back in the slammer.
Doctor: I see. So, your dad is trafficking your baby and he gets busted for drugs and that doesn't send you running back in here. So, what has? Oh, of course. You're in love again. Who is it this time?
Ricky: You were right. I'm not in love with Grace. I thought I was, but I'm not. I mean, I love her, but not the same way that I love...
Doctor: Adrian?
Ricky: No, she's in love with her brother.
Doctor: Her brother?
Ricky: Yeah, and you thought I was messed up.
Doctor: No, no, I don't wanna get sidetracked here. Who are you in love with?
Ricky: Amy. I'm not a careless guy. I've never been a careless guy. But with Amy, I don't know, maybe I wanted to get her pregnant.
Doctor: Because you love her? Why would you wanna do that to a girl you love? Does that make sense? That you tried to get Amy pregnant?
Ricky: I guess. Hey, at least it wasn't Lauren, right?
Doctor: At least. But what applied to Grace and Adrian and every other girl you've been in love with, applies to Amy. You are not capable of loving someone until and unless you love yourself.
Ricky: That's the thing. I think I do. What, I'm not allowed to make progress?
Doctor: Hey, no one would be happier than me. Tell me, why do you think you made that kind of progress?
Ricky: Because I didn't sell my baby to the highest bidder. I didn't offer him up to get rid of my dad. You know, I realized somehow that...I'm really not my father. For the first time, I realized it. I'm not him, and I'm not gonna be him.
Doctor: That is progress. I'm happy for you, genuinely happy. I'm proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself.
Ricky: I kinda am.
Doctor: "Kinda"? Ricky, this is a huge breakthrough. Huge. Tell me more about Amy. Wait. You're having a son?
Ricky: Well, I just found out, but Amy's found a couple that she thinks would be good parents for him, so we're talking about adoption.
Doctor: How do you feel about that?
Ricky: I feel that they'd be good parents, I guess. My mom knows them, that's what she says, that they would be good parents. Then again maybe Amy and I would be good parents, so I'm thinking...I'll go along with what everyone wants. I'll meet these guys and see what happens. Then after a few weeks, if it doesn't fall apart for one reason or another and it looks like they are gonna adopt the baby, then I'll try to pursue my legal rights and stop them. I haven't told my mother that I wanna keep the baby yet, so I'm thinking when I do, she'll choose me. She has to.
Doctor: See, this is that two steps back I'm always talking about. One giant leap forward and two steps back. Ricky, your mother's not gonna go along with you if you're deceiving people. You can't lead a couple to believe you're gonna go along with an adoption when you don't intend to.
Ricky: Look, I can. If that's the best thing for my son. If I just have some time with Amy, so that she gets to know me a little better, I mean, then she might come around. If I say no now, there's no chance of that happening.
Doctor: Ricky, you can't play with people's lives like that.
Ricky: Hey, they may never go through with it anyway, and I'm not gonna go against Amy right now.
Doctor: Just later when a family has their hearts set on adopting?
Ricky: It's early. I don't know that anyone has their hearts set on anything, other than me. I have my heart set on Amy and our baby.
Doctor: What about, Ben? Amy still with Ben?
Ricky: Ben's no match for me.

George: Where are you going in that getup?
Anne: "Getup"? That's what you call this? a getup? I'm using my free pass to get out of jail to do some things I need to do, not that that's any of your business, old man Juergens.
George: Job interview? Bank of women?
Anne: Don't you think the women jokes are getting a bit old?
George: No sense of humor this morning, must be a case of the nerves. Yup. It is a job interview.
Anne: When are you moving to your own place?
George: This is my own place. The correct question should be when am I moving from my own place? And the answer is never. If you're getting a job, especially one that requires a suit, maybe you can move, cause I don't have any money.
Anne: I'm gonna find the money sooner or later. And can you find something else to do tonight? Amy and Ricky are coming over to talk to Donovan and Leon. I don't think you should be around.
George: I won't be around. I'll be in my garage waiting for them to tell me how it went. I already talked to Donovan about it.
Ashley: Amy feels sick. She's not going to school today.
Anne: No, she's not sick. This is about Ben again.
George: Every married couple argues. Take us, for example.
Anne: We're not a couple, George. You're just a guy living in my garage. And Ben and Amy aren't a couple anymore either.
George: That's a little more than the argument. When did this happen?
Anne: A week ago. You haven't noticed that Amy's been upset for an entire week?
George: She's been upset for months, how was I supposed to know this week was special?
Anne: She's your daughter?
George: Why'd they break up? I mean, the guy married her knowing she was having another guy's baby. Something worse than that happened last week?
Anne: I don't think anything happened exactly.
George: Something happened.
Anne: I gotta go. I'm just gonna tell Amy I'm leaving.
George: Speak.
Ashley: Ben's just taking a break to see if she'd rather be with Ricky. He thinks she likes Ricky.
George: She doesn't like Ricky.
Ashley: Maybe, maybe not. But either way, she had sex with Ricky and Ben's reading a lot into that.
George: Maybe she should have sex with Ben. You're right, bad idea.

Anne: Amy, you can't afford to take a day off of school. You're gonna be missing days when the baby comes.
Amy: I can't stand being at school knowing Ben is there ignoring me.
Anne: You and Ben will work things out.
Amy: No, we won't. We can't work things out if he won't even talk to me. The worst part is, I totally understand why. It's because my baby is Ricky's baby, and nothing's gonna change that. I can't change that. He might want me to, but I can't.
Anne: That's right, and if Ben can't deal with that, then forget about him. You deserve better.
Amy: I'm a pregnant 15-year-old girl. I deserve better? I don't deserve better.
Anne: That's enough of that, Amy. Okay, even if you weren't pregnant, you and Ben would still find things to argue about, because that's what people do when you in a relationships. No two people can agree on everything all of the time. So there are differences of opinion, disagreements, arguments, it happens. Every argument that you have is a chance for you learn something about yourself and about the other person.
Amy: What am I supposed to learn here? That boys don't like girls who are pregnant by other boys? Lesson learned. I'm probably better off with Ricky.
Anne: What? You are not better off with Ricky. Let's talk about this later, okay? I have to go. And you need to get ready for school. So try to pull yourself together, okay?

Anne: What are you doing?
George: What are you doing? Run away from home? There's enough stuff in here for a week in France.
Anne: Goodbye, George. Talk her into going to school.
George: Hey, I just heard, about you and Ben. You know, guys aren't that great at apologizing. It's a flaw in their below-the-waist anatomy or something. So I don't know what happened, I don't need to know. Why don't you call the guy? Let him off the hook.
Amy: He's not on the hook. I'm on the hook. I did call him. He's not taking my calls. He doesn't wanna be with me, dad.
George: Who wouldn't wanna be with you? Of course he wants to be with you. You're beautiful girl.
Amy: I'm a big fat pregnant girl.
George: So what? You're still beautiful.
Amy: To you maybe.
George: Baby. Hey, you want me to talk to Ben?
Amy: No, no, I do not want you to talk to Ben.
George: You don't like Ricky, do you? I mean, as a boyfriend?
Amy: No, but I think Ricky likes me. And when someone likes you, you can't help but like them back, especially if your boyfriend/husband isn't speaking to you.
Anne: Have either of you seen Ashley? I can't find Ashley. I can't find her and I have to go. Can you look for her, please? She's probably walking to school. I hope.
George: You gonna be okay?
Amy: In a couple of months, yeah. In a couple of months, all I'll have to deal with is that I won't have to deal with the baby because I'm giving him to Donovan and Leon.
George: But I thought that's what you wanted to do?
Amy: I do. I really do. It's just hard to think about. Holding him and seeing his tiny feet and hands and then just handing him over to someone else.
George: You're still gonna be able to hold him and his tiny little feet and hands. We're all gonna be able to see the baby. You wanna go to school?
Amy: Can I stay home?
George: Yeah, it's one day, who cares? Hey, you wanna come with me to find Ashley?
Amy: Not really. I don't wanna go out with my eyes swollen and my nose red.
George: Come on. It'll be fun. When's the last time you had some real fun? Please don't say band camp.
Amy: I wasn't.

Guy: Skipping school?
Ashley: Who wants to know?
Guy: I think we go to the same school. My name's Thomas. I transferred in last year. I must have made a real impression.
Ashley: I've been kind of distracted. My sister's pregnant. She's 15.
Guy: Oh, yeah, I heard about that.

Amy: She's smoking.
George: You taking the bus to school? Okay, then.
Ashley: That was my dad.
Guy: Does he smoke?
Ashley: No, but I can pretty much get away with anything, because my sister's pregnant. Then again, I don't really wanna die from lung cancer.
Guy: Oh, yeah, I don't either. Do you wanna skip school?
Ashley: Yeah, for the next four and a half years.
Guy: All right, then. You know I meant skip school with me?
Ashley: I got that. I'd like to, but I'm waiting for someone.
Guy: Someone special?
Ashley: Not special to me.
Guy: Good. Are you going to school later, then?
Ashley: Probably.
Guy: I'll see you there.

Amy: You're just gonna leave Ashley at the bus stop, smoking?
George: She's never gonna smoke. She hates cigarettes.
Amy: She had a cigarette in her hand.
George: I know my girls.
Amy: Do you? Because you probably thought I'd never have sex.
George: I didn't think you'd never have sex. I was just hoping you wouldn't have sex until you were older. And in a committed relationship and using birth control. But instead, you had sex at 15 and got pregnant.
Amy: Dad, you could be a little more sensitive, you know. I'm feeling bad enough.
George: Hey, stuff happens. It breaks my heart that this stuff happened to you, but some things you can control and some things you can't. And don't play that victim role, it's not very you. Let's go find Ben.
Amy: You just like him because his dad's rich.
George: There's no shame in being rich. And I just like him because he loves you, even if you are pregnant by another guy who likes you. You have a hard time to be with the truth? I bet Ben is, too.
Amy: Here is the truth. I love Ben. I want to legally marry Ben. But I had sex with Ricky and I don't wanna keep having sex with guy after guy after guy...I wanted my husband to be the one and only guy I ever had sex with.
George: Then how'd this happen, Ames?
Amy:I don't know. I had a plan, maybe fate just intervened.
George: Oh, no. I know what you're thinking. You think you'll marry Ricky because you had sex with him. Is that what's keeping you from making up with Ben? You had sex with the wrong guy. And you can't fix this by marrying the wrong guy. That won't do anything for the baby or for you. Besides, legal or not, you're already married.
Amy: Yeah, good thing that wasn't for real.
George: I think it was for real. I think Ben's feelings for you are for real, even if he is 15.
Amy: Maybe even though I love Ben, I was meant to be with Ricky.
George: Where'd you get an idea like that? Have you been talking to Ricky? You know what might be more fun than this? School.

Grace: Mom, what makes you think I need birth control pills? Do you think I'm having sex?
Kathleen: You left condoms on your bathroom counter in plain sight. Not condom, condoms. A long string of condoms.
Grace: Oh, those. Adrian gave those to me the first time I went out with Ricky.
Kathleen: Exactly my point.
Grace: I'm not using them. I'm not having sex.
Kathleen: Grace, you know what our beliefs are. You know we think you should wait, but if you're having sex...You're not having sex? You've never had sex?
Grace: No. But can I still keep the pills?
Kathleen: Uh, I guess you can. With the understanding...
Grace: That if I'm thinking about having sex, I'll tell you.
Kathleen: Grace, I don't want you to have sex. I think it's wrong to have sex before you're married.
Grace: I know. Me too.
Kathleen: Okay. As long as you know how I feel. And you know how your father feels.
Grace: Thanks, mom. These are great.

Grace: Adrian. Adrian. Guess what.
Adrain: What? I can't hear you. Just say it.
Grace: I have birth control pills. My parents gave me birth control pills.
Ricky: Oh, because of me?
Adrain: Why else?
Ricky: But we're not having sex. We're not even going out with each other. We're just friends.
Adrain: So are we. Maybe she wants to have sex with someone else.
Grace: No. I don't even know if I want to have sex, and if I do want to have sex, I can have safe sex.
Ricky: Well, that's good. If you have sex, you should still use a condom though. Your parents let you go on the pill?
Grace: I'm not on it, I just have them. Because they found these condoms Adrian gave me, so they thought I should have the pill, you know, just as a precaution, in case anything happens.
Adrain: But nothing is going to happen, right, Grace? Because you know that would be wrong, especially since you're a Christian.
Ricky: Are you still dating your brother?
Adrain: Yeah, I am. But he's my stepbrother. We've never lived in
