The Secret Life of American Teenager 109

Ashley: You know, we don't have to go tonight if you don't want us to. I don't have to, anyway.
Anne: No, you should go. You should see your dad. Because he's your dad, and he asked to see you. And Amy, you need to talk to him about schools, OK? Because we have to make a decision.
Amy: I don't know what I wanna do about school, other than not going.
Anne: Well, that's not really an option.
Amy: Look, I don't understand why I can't call in sick for five months.
Anne: Me, neither, but you can't. Do you know where he's taking you? Did he tell you not to tell me? OK, you guys have fun. I'm gonna have fun. I mean I love having this house to myself.
Amy: We're just gonna hang out.
Anne: But hang out where? You don't even wanna leave the house.
Ashley: At his place, but I'm sure it's a real dump.
Anne: It better be.

George: Thanks, fellas. This was a really good idea. I don't know why you volunteered, but thank you.
Adrian: I just want you to be able to see your daughters. Oh, and don't tell my mom I let you do this. She'd kill me especially since you dumped her.
George: That's a good point. Oh, listen up, I'll be outta here by midnight, and my guys will waiting to bring the stuff back in, I promise, all right? And I owe you big time.

Ashley: It's great, except for the fact that you got one bed for the two of us. Strange, with you owning a furniture store and all.
George: It came furnished. It's a sublet kinda thing. You know, I don't wanna sign a long-term lease until I know what happens with your mother and me. It's month-to-month. Besides, I thought it'd be fun if you know you girls slept together like you did when you were kids.
Ashley: We're not spending the night. We never agreed to that.
George: I know, but sometime you might want to.
Ashley: Doubt it.
George: So you guys wanna get some pizza or something? You wanna go out?
Amy: No, I definitely don't wanna go out. I don't wanna run into anybody I know from school or band.
George: Amy, you're with me now. If anybody looks at you or says anything to you, I'll stick a rocket in their pocket and send 'em to the moon.
Amy: Thanks, Dad. I appreciate your support. Do you mind if I call Ben? Do you mind?
George: No, go ahead. That's good. I like Ben.

Ashley: So whose place is this, your girlfriend's? Dad, it smells like perfume.
George: Well, obviously girls used to live here. That's a girl's room back there. How do you know it's not a man's perfume you're smelling? Maybe it's just me you're smelling.
Ashley: I think we all know your smell.

Amy: I can't go anywhere. I don't wanna go anywhere.
Ben: What about if I came over there?
Amy: I'd love it if you came over here, but you konw, it's kinda creepy, feels like I'm in someone else's home.
Ben: So is that a yes? Is it OK?
Amy: Look, Ben, I'm dying to see you, I really am. It's just...I don't know how this thing works. I'm pretty sure Ashley and I belong to my dad tonight.
Ben: You belong to me. We belong to each other. I have to see you.
Amy: I feel the same way. I have to be here for my dad. You know, I see my mom every day. I just...I have to at least spend one night with him. I really wanna see you. It's just that...
Ben: Come on. Ask your dad. He won't mind.
Amy: I can't. I don't think I can share my time with him with you. Besides, we're supposed to talk about my plans, you konw what I'm supposed to do about school stuff.
Ben: But your dad likes me, I like him, and we both love you.
Amy: I miss you. I really miss you.
Ben: Then ask him.
Amy: You konw it wouldn't be fair to Ashley.
Ashley: What wouldn't be fair?
Amy: Um, if Ben came over.
Ashley: No one cares. Dad wants to know what kind of pizza you want.
Ben: Hey, I'm on my way. I'll ask for your address when I pick up the pizza. OK, bye.

Ben: I didn't know you were coming over here. Um, listen, I gotta go drop off a pizza to Amy. She's at her dad's condo, but, make yourself at home.
Henry: Oh, maybe I'll go with you. If you don't want me to go with you, that's OK. I can just go home.
Ben: No, no. It's not that I don't want you to go with me. It's just that this is Amy's first visit with her dad since her dad and her mom split up, and I probably shouldn't even be going over there, so...Is everything OK? No, something's wrong.
Henry: Yeah, something, but we can talk tomorrow. You go to Amy's dad's, have fun, don't worry about me.
Ben: I really don't have time to talk. I gotta go get the pizza.

Grace: I just wish you had told me that this is what we were gonna do. I told my parents we were getting pizza.
Adrian: We got pizza. It's in the back seat.
Grace: I know, but I didn't tell them the whole truth, and I've already been in a lot of trouble for not telling them the whole truth.
Adrian: You think if we would've told 'em we were going to look for my father, they would've let you come with me?
Grace: I kinda doubt it, but maybe my dad would've come with us to do this. My dad's really good at confronting people in difficult situations.
Adn: Thought your parents were out on their corny date night.
Grace: I don't think it's corny. I think it's kinda romantic.
Adrian: How do you know?
Grace: I'm just assuming.
Adrian: Where's your brother? Where's Tom?
Grace: He's home alone. It's another reason why I don't feel comfortable staying out too late. I mean he has been home by himself before, but still...I told my parents we wouldn't be gone too long.
Adrian: I just wanna see what the guy looks like. You konw I'm not gonna cause a big scene or anything.

Ricky: What time can I see you?
Adrian: I told you, I'm busy.
Ricky: I can't go this long without you, or someone.
Adrian: Thanks. I'm sure you mean that as a compliment. Look, I told you, I can't tonight. Oh, and don't bother calling Grace, she's with me.
Adrian: I talked to Jack earlier. Actually, I've talked to him all week about you.
Grace: OK, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, but thank you for telling me.
Adrian: Of course I'm gonna tell you, because we're friends, right? And Jack and I are friends.
Grace: I just don't get why he can call you, but he can't call me.
Adrian: 'Cause he's tired of being rejected, and he's waiting for you to call him. The guy is madly in love with you. Call him, take him back.
Grace: I don't know. Just doesn't feel right now, too much time has passed.
Adrian: Is that the problem? Too much time has passed? Or is the problem that you like Ricky? I know, you like Ricky, but you know I like Ricky, and like I told you the first time I met you we're having sex.
Grace: I know that, and I'm not interested in having sex with Ricky, and he's not interested in having sex with me. We're just friends.
Adrian: Come on, Grace. Ricky does not have friends. Ricky makes friends with girls he wants to have sex with.
Grace: Ricky and I are just friends, and he's not gonna try to have sex with me.
Adrian: I'm sure that's the same thing Amy was thinking the night she had sex with him.
Grace: Poor Amy.
Adrian: No. Poor Ricky, poor baby, not poor Amy. A girl should know how to take care of herself. How hard is it not to get pregnant? Then stay away from Ricky.

Ricky: Hey, what are you doing tonight?
Lauren: Why are you calling me?
Ricky: I just need someone to talk to, Lauren.
Lauren: About what?
Ricky: About what else, Amy and the baby. I have to talk to someone, someone who has her best interest at heart.
Lauren: I'm not gonna talk to you.
Ricky: Why not? You didn't seem to have any trouble talking to me last week when you wanted to talk to me. Now I wanna talk to you.
Lauren: I'm busy.
Ricky: Doing what? You're not doing anything, are you? Can we go out and just talk, please?
Lauren: You're out of your mind, you know that?

Lauren: I thought you were going out with Jason.
Madison: Oh, I am. I just didn't tell my dad. I like it better this way. You know he just dropped me off. He thinks I'm spending the night like always.
Lauren: So, where's Jason taking you? Pizza and a movie. Original.
Madison: You can't go, no offense.
Lauren: I don't wanna go, no offense.
Madison: Do you have any friends maybe you could fix her up with?
Lauren: I can get my own date.
Madison: Well, you know what? I will help you find a date next week. You got me a date. It's the least I can do.
Lauren: I said I can get my own date, when I'm ready, OK?
Jason: OK, we should go. We don't wanna wait around till she finds a date, 'cause that could take years.
Lauren: As much as I appreciate the pity, I don't think either one of you have been on an official date, have you? Yeah, so go, get outta here. I got things to do.

Leo: I heard you were home alone, thought I'd drop by, maybe we could talk. I'm Leo, Ben's dad. This a bad time?
Anne: No, no. Come in, please.
Leo: I should've called first, at least. I apologize.
Anne: Oh, no. I apologize for looking like this. I'd go change and clean myself up a bit, but I don't really feel like it, 'cause...
Leo: Because your mom just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's and you and your husband are having problems and your lovely daughter has gotten herself into a little bit of trouble and the girls are going to visit their dad for the first time since you split up and because that wine doesn't go with that cereal. Aw... it's OK. Everything's gonna be all right.

Ben: It's a place my dad likes to go to. He actually arranged this thing with the school where they donate money to the school for any business they bring in tonight.
George: I should do that with my store, donate money for any sales the students bring in. That's a good idea.
Amy: We should bring a piece to Ashley.
George: Why are you so down, Harry? What's up?
Ben: Girlfriend problems.
George: You ever meet Amy's sister? She is the shyest little girl just a couple years younger than you three but the sweetest, nicest cherub you'd ever wanna meet. You know when she heard you and Ben were coming over, she ran to the back room like a scared little kitten. Hey, do me a favor. Would you bring my little angel a slice of pizza.

Ashley: What do you want?
Henry: Your dad asked me to bring you some pizza.
Ashley: Put it down, then back out of the room with your hands over your head.
Henry: I won't back out of the room with my hands over my head, because I'm tired of people telling me what to do and when to do it and when not to do it. I'm a man, damn it.
Ashley: Well, in that case, you can stay.

Ricky: Hey. Is Grace home?
Tom: No. She's out with Adrian.
Ricky: Really? Your parents let her go out with Adrian? Maybe I could wait for her.
Tom: I have a friend coming over.
Ricky: You have a friend coming over? Like a date? Good for you. Do you have any idea where Grace and Adrian went?
Tom: Maybe they are at Adrian's house.
Ricky: Yeah, maybe they are. Thanks.

Grace: Maybe you should write him a letter first, or maybe you should call him and see how he feels about meeting you. I don't feel comfortable doing this. I think we should go.
Adrian: I've waited 16 years for this. You can't wait another few minutes?
Grace: What exactly are we waiting for?
Adrian: I just wanna see the guy, OK?
Grace: How do you even know it's the right guy?

Delivery: The high school gets credit for every pizza any student orders tonight. It's been a little crazy. Tom, that's a lot of money.
Tom: You want more?
Delivery: Oh, no. I'm just saying, careful with your cash.
Tom: Thanks for the tip.

Grace: Hi, Tom. It's me. I'm checking to see how you are. Do you need me to come home? Are you sure? I just thought you might be scared there all by yourself.
Grace: He says he's OK, but I don't know. Look, I know this is really hard for you, but what if the guy sees us sitting outside his house?

Leo: Feeling better now?
Anne: Yeah, I haven't really had anyone to talk to.
Leo: What are we gonna do, Anne? They're in love.
Anne: It's wonderful they're in love, but they're just 15 years old. It's complicated.
Leo: Or not. She's gonna be a mother. We accept that, Ben and me. He wants her in his life and I want her in his life. She's a nice girl.
Anne: Thank you. I think I'm just still in shock. I don't understand it. It seems so unlikely that she would...
Leo: I think most of us feel that way about our children, our teenagers.
Anne: I spoke to the counselor at school. He said there's an extension class she can go to with other girls who are...
Leo: Is that what you want?
Anne: No. I want this not to be happening.
Leo: But it is, and it's gonna be happening whether she goes to extension class or she's home schooled or goes back to her old school.
Anne: Oh, I don't think Amy could do that.
Leo: She could if she wanted, if you wanted.
Anne: I can't even get her to leave the house anymore.
Leo: She's gotta get over that. She can't hide her face in shame. What happened happened. Like I said before, she's a good girl, and I mean that. And you're a good mother, and you'll get through this and Amy will get through this. But don't let her hide from people, and don't you hide from people. Don't make it so important. It is what it is, you know? You want me to get her a private tutor so she could stay home and get her schooling, and I'll do it. You want to send her to a private school or a different school, just let me know, I got connections. But, please, don't let Amy feel like she's any less of a person than she was before this happened, because she's not, and neither are you. Just live with it, if you don't mind me saying that, just live with it, because there's nothing you could do, just accept that things are what they are, and that's OK. And if I could help you in any way, please, just let me know.

Ashley: So, did you wanna talk or something, or are you just content to sit there and stare at me?
Henry: I'm OK just staring at you. I don't guess that, at 13, you're allowed to date or anything?
Ashley: Are you kidding? After Amy, I don't think I'll be allowed to date till I'm 21 unless I undergo some involuntary sterilization or something.
Henry: That would be a shame. You're really pretty. Well, I mean, you know you're pretty, right? I mean, you're beautiful. You may be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Ashley: Just shut up, OK? I've been through a lot lately.

Amy: Let's just change the subject.
Ben: So, have you thought any more about coming back to school?
Amy: Oh, yeah. No, I can't do that.
Ben: Well, other than home schooling, what are your options?
George: Should I be here while you and Ben are discussing your educational future?
Ben: Right. That's probably something you'd like to discuss with Amy and her mother without me. Maybe I'll just go find out what happened to Henry, and maybe we'll be going.
George: Maybe, but it's been great seein' ya.

Amy: Probably I should have asked if Ben could come over.
George: It's OK. I just wanna spend a little time with y
