The Secret Life of American Teenager 117

Ashley: Come on. Mom is waiting to take us to school.
Amy: I'm not going to school. I'm don't feel well.
Ashley: No, really? You know, that's not gonna get you out of school, Amy. So did Ben ever call? You know, I could pawn this, if you don't want it.
Amy: What is it?
Ashley: A man's wedding ring.
Amy: Where'd you get that?
Ashley: Veronica gave it to me. It's her ex's.
Amy: Who's Veronica? And why did she give that ring to you?
Ashley: She's that waitress. She felt bad about taking my tips, so she gave me her ex-husband's wedding ring.
Amy: What am I supposed to do with it? Ben would never accept this ring now. I should have never invited Ricky over.
Ashley: Oh, come on, it's not that big a deal. You were just trying to do the right thing. The wrong way, but the right thing.
Amy: I should have just waited...
Ashley: Waited for what, Amy? Dad told me not to tell mom, I'm not gonna tell her, so you can tell me, and then when mom does find out, like she always does, you and I can both get into trouble together, so go ahead.
Amy: Dad found a couple.
Ashley: A couple of what?
Amy: A couple to adopt the baby. A couple who is willing to go along with an open adoption. I can still see my son. You can still see him. We can all still see him. We can all still be involved in his life, and yet, he'll have two responsible adult parents who can take care of him.
Ashley: This is kind of a theme with you, isn't it? Trying to get someone else to do what you should do.
Amy: I'm getting someone else to do what I can't do.
Ashley: Who, Amy? I'd love to know what couple dad knows that would make good parents for my nephew.
Amy: Donovan and Leon. Yeah, they've been wanting to adopt for a while now.
Ashley: Ah, I see, and there are no needy children anywhere in the country, nay the entire world, who need a home?
Amy: It really isn't easy for gay couples to adopt.
Ashley: So you're what, doing them a favor?
Amy: The way I see it, it's benefiting me, the baby, and it's benefiting them.
Ashley: You know what? Give me that ring back. You've lost your mind. You can take care of this baby, Amy. You're not giving away my nephew.
Amy: Ashley, you can still see him.
Ashley: Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of nights when I wish I was being raised by Donovan and Leon, but you can't just give the baby away to anyone. You can't. I know you. You're giving the baby up for adoption so you can keep Ben, aren't you?

Leo: Hey, this is why 15-year-olds should not get married. I mean, you did everything you could, we did everything we could. It didn't work out. She's a nice girl, I love Amy, and I know that you love Amy, but that doesn't mean you should spend the rest of your lives together. Now, let me tell you something, I'm really proud of you for standing up and saying that's enough. A man has to do that sometimes, even if it's tough.
Ben: I don't feel like going to school today.
Leo: Well, you're going. Look, this is a very complicated situation, and there's no un-complicating it. You did the right thing, and if you have any doubts about Amy, and I think you do, you did the right thing.
Ben: I don't know if not seeing Amy is the right thing, but she's having Ricky's baby, it's not mine, and there's nothing I can do about it if she wants to be with him. It might even be better for the baby if she's with him, you know?
Leo: Now you're talking. Come on. It'll be all right.

Shawna: I've been thinking about you all weekend.
Jack: While you were with your boyfriend?
Shawna: I have a confession. I don't have a boyfriend.
Jack: You don't have a boyfriend?
Shawna: No, it's just you're too young for me.
Jack: But you don't have a boyfriend.
Shawna: Which doesn't change the fact that you're in high school.
Jack: Just pretend I was held back like three grades.
Shawna: How about four?
Jack: What are you, 20? That's not that old. No, seriously. You're not that much older than me.
Shawna: Okay, look, I am older than you, and I like you, but I'm warning you, I don't like clingy, and I don't want our relationship to affect your relationship with Duncan.
Jack: So...we're in a relationship. I got it. I got it. You know, I knew you liked me. You totally freaked me out when you did that. Sorry, I gotta go find somebody.
Shawna: Somebody other than me?
Jack: Now who's clingy? No, you got me so upset that I went out and did something stupid, and now I gotta fix it.

Madison: I knew this would happen.
Lauren: It was just too good to be true.
Madison: He was just too clingy.
Jack: Oh, yeah, I can see that.
Lauren: See? Everyone knows it.
Madison: Yeah, and when he got together with Amy, we never saw her again. He just hogged all her time.
Lauren: Just because I wasn't allowed to go over there after my parents found out she was pregnant doesn't mean she couldn't spend more time with us after school.
Madison: And how pretentious is it that he had a driver? I mean, who has a driver?
Jason: Which one of you two is gonna try to date Ben next?
Madison: I have a boyfriend.
Jason: Oh, I forgot. I don't know, Madison, it just seems like you and I are friends. Not like boyfriend and girlfriend.
Madison: So is it true that you told Henry that the only reason we hooked up is because you're a lazy dater?
Jason: Are you calling me lazy? Because I resent that.
Madison: Yeah, that's what he tells people that we're together because he's a lazy dater.
Lauren: It's true. Come on, you're like the only girl he knows other than me, and he can't date me.
Madison: So he doesn't even like me?
Lauren: No, he does, but he might like other girls too if he went out with them like my parents... ooh.
Madison: Like your parents what? I thought your parents loved me.
Lauren: They do, but you're the first girl he's ever dated and they doubt that you'll be the last girl he ever goes out with, no offense.
Madison: Great, so why don't you just get a bunch more friends and he can date all them too?
Lauren: Hold it. We can't fight each other when fighting with Amy against Ben. We have to be a team.
Madison: Yeah, you're right.
Lauren: So go find Jason and make up, we've got work to do.

Jack: Hey, just forget about what I said the other night. Okay? It's none of my business whether Ricky's still sleeping with Adrian, and I'm probably wrong. I shouldn't have done that. It's just that Shawna had dumped me... well, she's the first girl I've had any feelings for since you.
Alice: Excuse me?
Jack: I like you, as a friend. And I'm having a conversation with Grace. Anyway, where was I?
Grace: I think you were about to get dumped, which led me to making a certain phone call.
Jack: All right. Shawna broke up with me because she had a boyfriend, which she didn't tell me before, so I came to your house all upset, then I get a phone call from her telling me she didn't have a boyfriend after all.
Grace: Well, I called right after you left my house. Adrian was with Ricky.
Jack: Well, you're not mad at me for telling you, are you? I'd want someone to tell me if Shawna was cheating on me.
Grace: Shut up, Jack. I don't even know Shawna.
Jack: Oh, you gotta meet her, she's great.
Grace: Oh, yeah, I'm sure she is. Especially lying about having a boyfriend and everything.

Alice: Do you know how many teen relationships last for more than six months?
Henry: No, but I really thought Ben and Amy would last a lifetime.
Alice: Ben and Amy?
Henry: They broke up.
Alice: And he didn't even call me?
Henry: Why would he call you? He's my best friend.
Alice: He's my best friend too.
Henry: No, you were his best friend because you were with me.
Alice: That is so sexist. My friendship with Ben has nothing to do with you. Ask him. I'm his best friend too.
Henry: Did he tell you he broke up with Amy?
Alice: That's not the test of friendship, knowing things. The test of friendship is whether or not you hate the same people. The common denominator between all groups of people. Hatred for the enemy.
Henry: And who would the enemy be?
Alice: In this case, Amy.
Ben: Hi. What about Amy?
Alice: I hate her after what she did to you. Going after Ricky like that.
Henry: That... that harlot.
Ben: Don't talk about Amy like that.
Alice: What do you call a girl who's married to one guy and tries to date the father of her baby? They probably don't even have a name for that.
Henry: I stand by harlot. You know, this is all your fault. He was going after Grace when you pointed out Amy and ruined his life.

Ben: So I have a problem.
Counselor: Why am I not surprised?
Ben: Okay, let me tell you what happened. Ricky and Amy...
Counselor: No, you brought your personal problems into the office, now I'm taking your personal problems outta the office. If you wanna talk about school, the door is always open.
Ben: School? Why would I wanna talk about school?
Counselor: Because that's what I'm here for, to talk about school, and I happen to very good at that. So I'm gonna stick to what I'm good at.
Jack: I need to talk to you.
Counselor: So, what'd you want to talk about?
Jack: Duncan's sister.
Counselor: Oh, no, no, no. no sister. We aren't talking about anything other than mentoring. This office is for academic consultation only.
Jack: All right, no one told me, I thought you did it all.
Counselor: Not anymore, unless she suggested a college you wanna check out, then I can't help you.

George: What's going on?
Anne: What are you doing here in the middle of the day? Why aren't you at the store?
George: I'm not feeling well. Thanks for your concern. What's with the flowers? Someone die?
Anne: I'm just trying to make the house look presentable.
George: Who do you have to present the house to?
Anne: Reverend Stone is introducing me to a nice couple who might be interested in adopting Amy's baby.
George: Well, that's just like you to try and go behind my back to try to find adoptive parents that you like, and then force them on me.
Anne: I'm not forcing anyone on you. Jim and Linda just want to have a casual meeting. If everything goes well, if I like them, and if it seems like they'll be nice parents, I'll introduce them to Amy.
George: Well, I can't today. Like I told you, I'm not feeling well. That's why I came home and left the store to Donovan. Donovan can handle anything. He's a good businessman and a nice person, and so is his friend.
Anne: Yeah, I love Donovan and Leon. What's your point?
George: I don't have a point.
Anne: Yeah, big surprise.

Marshall: What are you doing? I miss the party?
Kathleen: Just cleaning out the fridge.
Mar: Really, the whole fridge, or just the wine bottle part?
Kathleen: Uh, cooking wine. It's turned sour, kinda like someone else I know. What are you doing home?
Marshall: I thought I'd stop by, have a little lunch.
Kathleen: Oh, really? Lunch or a lecture perhaps? It seems like you've been working on it for a couple weeks now, should be a pretty good one, I bet.
Marshl: You know, we haven't been having much sex lately.
Kathleen: Yeah, that's because I've been getting drunk in the afternoon and taking care of myself. I'm joking about the drinking. You don't think I'm cheating on you, do you?
Marshall: You kinda just admitted to that, didn't you? Although that kinda cheating really turns me on. Uh, no, focus. Listen, here's the thing. If you had just told me about your cheating on George when we first met, it wouldn't have made any difference, but you didn't. You lied to me. You told me that he cheated on you, so that means we've been living in this lie for 17 years. You have been lying to me for 17 years.
Kathleen: Marshall, we talked about it only one time. And that was 17 years ago.
Marshall: I think we should talk again.
Kathleen: Then let's talk about it, I don't think you get it. I just didn't want you to know that I cheated on my husband.
Marshall: But you did, but that's between you and him. It's got nothing to do with us. The lie, that's between you and me.
Kathleen: You know, I wish you would lie about something. I wish you weren't so perfect. Your perfect hair, your perfect teeth. Your perfect...butt. Marshall, I'm not the same person I was when I lied to you. Okay, so just forgive me, please?
Marshall: Oh, it's about damn time! What took you so long? Of course, that's all I ever wanted to hear. I forgive you.
Kathleen: Thank you! What are you doing?
Marshall: Where's Tom?
Kathleen: He's upstairs. He's mad at Tammy 'cause she's not talking to him.
Marshall: Looks like I'll be going right back to work now.
Kathleen: Hey. I'll see you tonight.
Marshall: Yes, you will.

Lady: You're an idiot. No wonder we can't get a baby. You can't drink a beer at an interview.
Man: He offered.
George: Infertility can be really stressful.
Man: I'll say.
Lady: Then again, so can fertility.
George: Oh, you talking about Amy's situation?
Lady: I just can't help it. It just makes me so angry that a 15-year-old girl can get pregnant and I can't.
George: Yeah, first time too. You know, I gotta tell you that you people get an A+ for honesty.
Man: Well, you're a breath of fresh air yourself.
Lady: So can we talk about the baby?
George: We could, but I gotta tell you, I'm not quite sure I want the baby adopted. I mean, it's my grandson. I'm gonna wanna see him once in a while. Would there be a problem with that?
Lady: Well, I think our parents would see the baby as their grandson. I'm not open to an open adoption. And no offense, but I don't want to share the baby with Amy and your family, no. If we were to take the baby, we would want you to stay out of his life. I don't want him to have two mommies and two daddies and three grandmothers and three grandfathers and whatever. You know, I just don't think I can do that.
Man: Well, we could think about whether we could do that.
Lady: No, we couldn't, honey.
George: Look, you seem like a really nice couple, but I'm looking for an open adoption. That is, if there is an adoption.
Lady: But your wife didn't say anything about that. Oh, I forgot, yes, mental problems. All right, Jim, we should go.
George: Hey, thanks for dropping by.

George: They weren't qualified.
Anne: You're not qualified to determine that, and you knew I was waiting in there.
George: You're no judge of people.
Anne: Well, obviously not. I married you.

Anne: Hello? Is everything okay at the store?
Donovan: Oh, everything's fine. I was gonna drop off something for George at closing, and I was just wondering if you and I could get together for a few minutes and talk since we've already talked to George, Leon and I.
Anne: Sure, you're not quitting, are you, Donovan, please?
Donovan: So George talked to you?
Anne: About...?

Madison: Don't feel bad, Amy. You did nothing wrong.
Lauren: You have the right to talk to whomever you want to, whenever you want to.
Madison: Ben is weak.
Amy: I'm the weak one. I sho
