The Secret Life of American Teenager 119

George: Oh, boy. Mama's got on her power suit again. Just because you have a pregnant teenage daughter doesn't mean you can be a governor, my lady.
Anne: Give it up, George. I am going to get a job, and when I get a job, I'm gonna proceed with the divorce, and you are going to be moving.
George: Well, I hope it's a really big job, because I wanna get a really big house. Ooh, the sweet smell of alimony.

Ashley: I told you, I can't away with anything right now. The closer it gets to the baby's arrival, the more invisible I get.
Guy: Is that your doing or your family's? Your invisibility?
Ashley: Mine.
Amy: Ashley left a half hour ago. She took the bus.
Anne: No one told me. No one tells me anything around here anymore.
Amy: It's lonely at the top, governor. That's your oldest daughter, Amy. She's here, and she needs a ride to school.

Anne: So, Amy, it's back to looking for a job, huh?
Amy: Are you talking about you or me?
Anne: Both of us. If you don't have a family to adopt the baby, you need to get a job, and without your father, I need to get a job too.
Amy: You know, I think we could get some help. Yeah, from the government?
Anne: Amy, don't be ridiculous. You don't need to get help from the government. We can take care of ourselves. We can both get a job if we try. I've been trying, but I can try a little harder. And Amy, you can try harder too.
Amy: Honestly, mom, I don't think I can get a job, and I'm not so sure you could either.
Anne: I'm sure that we can. We just need to keep looking. And while we're looking, we can look for another couple to adopt the baby. There are plenty of couples out there who are looking to adopt, it's just a matter of finding the right one.
Amy: Mom, I don't think I can get through that again I can't believe Donovan and Leno gived it up, well they did. That's how it is. Well, maybe they'll change their minds.
Anne: Yeah, and maybe I'll be governor, but in the meantime, we need to find work.
Amy: It's not gonna happen. I'm not qualified to do anything, and I don't know what you're qualified to do.
Anne: I don't know either, but there's gotta be something. We just have to be willing to take any job. Any honest job that we can get, because you know it's always easier to get a job when you already have a job. So we'll just take the first one that comes along and we'll go from there.
Amy: Mom, I don't want a job.
Anne: Amy, woman up, okay? Come on, let's go. Let's get out there, let's do the right thing. Let's be responsible.
Amy: Mom, I'm tired, and I have school, I don't want to be responsible. Did I mention that I'm tired?

Ashley: I had a short stint as a cocktail waitress. Made pretty good money but I got busted on the age thing.
Guy: Exactly how old are you, Ashley?
Ashley: Seventeen.
Guy: You're in middle school, so you're not 17. Unless you're really, really stupid, and you're not stupid.
Ashley: I thought you said you went to my school
Guy: No, I saw you get off the bus at your school. I lied.
Ashley: Now's the time you're supposed to stop staring at me because my staring at you bothers you.
G: I'm not in middle school, and I'm fascinated by your lips.
Ashley: You're an idiot.
Guy: Yeah maybe. I'm home schooled, and my parents are very good teachers.
Ashley: Well, you lucky guy. How did you get that?
Guy: I don't get along well with others.
Ashley: Me neither.
Guy: I know, I saw you on the bus. So I'm just gonna cut to the chase. Can I come over to your house tonight?
Ashley: I don't know. How old are you? I'll think about it. Give me your number.
Guy: Got to be something here I have more pens.

Anne: Although I didn't finish college, when I drop out at a 3.8 average in business management. And let's face it, as a mom of 16 years, I have tons of experience in handling money and working on a budget and time management. Time management, that's a big one. I'm really good at that.
Guy: Do you speak Spanish?
Anne: I speak French, and a little Greek.
Guy: No Spanish? The cook only speaks Spanish.
Anne: I'll learn Spanish. I really want this job.
Guy: You, with the 3.8 and the suit, you want this job?
Anne: Yeah, I really want this job. I've been looking for quite a while now and it seems that no one sees my potential.
Guy: Oh, I see your potential.
Anne: I plan on going back to school, but with this economy, it's really hard to find part-time work. So I figure this could a place as any to start. I'll work really hard, and I'm totally flexible with my hours.
Guy: Flexible, huh? Husband leave you?
Anne: I wish. But we are getting a divorce, so I'm reentering the work force, so to speak. It's not easy.
Guy: Not if you don't speak Spanish. And hey, this is not the work force. We feed the work force. How old are you?
Anne: You can't ask me that.
Guy: You brought up the personal stuff, divorce and all that, how old are you is not a job-interview question, it's a personal question, me to you, man to woman.
Anne: Then I'm 29.
Guy: I've been out with women over 29. Natural redhead? Your hair? Put something on it? All right then, you're hired. I like women who don't have a problem with lying.
Anne: I'll need an assistant. An assistant. You know someone who speaks Spanish.
Guy: No, you don't need an assistant. You just serve the dogs, it's not that tough.
Anne: I'm pretty sure if I call the labor relations department and tell them about this little job interview, you could lose your business license.
Guy: That's hot. Say it again.
Anne: You could lose your business license. You could.
Guy: Don't tell the cook. He thinks he's in training for another job at the mall. Gotta go. I got other hot dog huts, babe. But believe me, I'll be checking in on you, if you know what I mean. Oh, and no free dogs.

Jack: You look like you could use some perking up. Would you like a chocolate bar?
Amy: Wait, you're selling candy bars?
Jack: Yeah, the kid I'm mentoring, Duncan, he's selling candy bars for disadvantaged youth.
Amy: Isn't he disadvantaged?
Jack: Yeah. I guess that's why he's raising money for disadvantaged kids. Have a heart. Or better yet, have a fudge supreme.
Amy: How much?
Jack: Five bucks.
Amy: For a candy bar that I can get for a buck 50 in the grocery store?
Jack: It's for the youth.
Amy: Ben? I'm at thecrhe stairs by the water machine. Where are you? I need something.
Ben: Oh, I'm right here.
Amy: Jack's selling candy bars.
Jack: You want one too? For 5 bucks?
Ben: I don't know, that's a little steep.
Jack: It's disadvantage youth. The kid I'm mentoring is selling them.
Ben: You're selling them. So how is he learning anything?
Jack: He's learning that he can rely on me for help.
Ben: In that case I'll take four.
Jack: And, hey, when the band's selling wrapping paper, I'll help you out.

Amy: You know, why can't I do that?
Ben: What? Sell candy bars?
Amy: No, get money from someone who's selling candy bars.
Ben: Is your mom on you about getting a job again? Maybe you should just make the effort to apply for some jobs. She's looking forward to see that you're willing to do whatever it takes to take care of the baby. Just like she's getting a job to help take care of you and Ashley.
Amy: You know what would be supportive? If you said, "you shouldn't have to work, Amy. You've already been through enough, your mom and dad should take care of you."
Ben: They are taking care of you. They're just trying to show you what it's like to take care of the baby. And you can do it.
Amy: I know I can do it. I don't want to do it. I'm having a baby, I don't wanna get a job.
Ben: Well, what do you want to do, Amy? Do you want to find another couple to adopt the baby?
Amy: You should date my mother. That would have been so much easier if I can get up on my own.

Ricky: So you two made up, huh?
Ben: Did Amy tell you that?
Ricky: Oh, let's not be so insecure, rich boy. At least not so obviously insecure.
Ben: I don't have anything to be insecure about. When the time is right I'm legally gonna marry Amy and spend rest of my life with her on her side. Or if you find another couple to adopt the baby then I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Amy and visit your son. So which one will you after, Ricky? Amy or the baby?
Ricky: Both.

Jack: Grace, that I know when women go on the pill they crave chocolate.
Grace: I'm not on the pill, I have the pill, but I'm not on it. And how do you suddenly know so much about birth control pills, Jack?
Jack: I don't, really, I'm just trying to make a sales pitch. I'm helping Duncan sell candy bars.
Grace: You're raising money for Duncan?
Jack: No, he's raising money for disadvantaged youth.
Grace: That's so nice, especially since he's disadvantaged. How much are they?
Jack: Five dollars.
Grace: For one? Jack, I can't pay $5 for a candy bar, even it is for disadvantaged youth, but I can help you sell them. I'm kinda popular right now. And besides, that's what Christians do, right? They help each other when they need help.
Jack: Yeah, okay. I'll take you up on that offer.
Grace: No, no, no, I can do it.
Jack: Okay, by "it," I hope you mean sell candy bars.

Grace: This is an opportunity to help the disadvantaged youth.

Adrain: That's not those giant candy bars, is it? I'm selling those for the majorettes to go to Washington D.C. next year.
Grace: Well, I'm selling them for kids who can't even dream of going to Washington D.C.
Adrain: You're good, but no thanks. How much you selling them for anyway?
Grace: Five dollars.
Adrain: We're selling ours for 2.50.
Grace: You're majorettes. These are disadvantaged youth.
Adrain: Who can't even dream of being majorettes. Yeah, yeah. I'm still not paying you 5 bucks for a candy bar.
Grace: Do you wanna help me sell them?
Adrain: No, I'm not even trying to sell mine. I need you to do something for me. Do you think I could fit into that Pink cashmere sweater that you have?
Grace: Sure. You wanna borrow my sweater?
Adrain: Yeah, if you don't mind. I'm trying to get my brother to have sex with me. And I thought I'd have a better shot if I looked more innocent. He's trying to court me, and, well, I don't have any courting clothes.
Grace: That's good he's trying to court you. That'll give you a chance to act like a lady.
Adrain: You know, ladies have sex.
Grace: No, not until they're married. That wouldn't be a lady, that would be a...Adrian, I have such a good idea. You should become a virgin again. You know, set the odometer back to zero.
Adrain: Okay, one, no you can't. and two, I'm not a car, and I don't like car analogies or jokes made about riding me or riding on me or...
Grace: Adrian! You're a lady now. And I would never say those things about you. You're my friend, and you could be my new virgin friend. Imagine how much your brother would like that, you reclaiming your virginity. And, you know, while you're at it, you could tone down the lip gloss a little bit. Watch how attracted guys are to the idea of having sex with a virgin. Does anybody want to help me out and buy a candy bar for the disadvantaged youth?

Ben: So, who's your second choice if you don't get Amy, and/or the baby? I know you're used to getting what you want. Let's just say this time you don't? Who are you gonna go after? Adrian? That's right, Adrian's in love with her brother right now. So what about Grace? Grace isn't gonna marry you. She's probably gonna become a doctor, she'll probably marry a doctor. I mean she's a doctor's daughter, so a little out of your league, don't you think? And by the way, if you and Amy don't find a couple to adopt the baby, you're gonna be paying child support for the next 18 years. How are you gonna do that? You don't just get to call yourself the daddy without being financially responsible for the child. Think about that. Child support every month for the next 18 years. So if you're just using the baby as a way to get to Amy, just keep in mind that it's gonna cost you. But you know that, right? You shouldn't take things that you can't pay for, Ricky.

Donovan: It wasn't Ricky.
George: Then who was it?
Donovan: George, I'm sorry if we disappointed you and Anne and Amy, but...
George: Who said you disappointed me? I just wanna know what happened. When we were gonna give the baby away then I was happy you are gonna take it but if you're not gonna take him, we're not gonna give the baby away.
Donovan: George, that is so sweet.
George: No, I mean it, it's late in the game. It's too late to get to know anyone well to know if they should be parenting my grandson. So who was it? It wasn't Ricky?
Donovan: It wasn't Ricky exactly. It's all the Rickys who need parents. These children present challenges, but what children don't? We still want them.
George: Why? Why are you taking on someone else's problems when you won't take on ours?
Donovan: George, this is kind of difficult to explain to you. It's all about acceptance. Loving the imperfect makes us accept and love our own imperfections.
George: Damn. You made me cry. You know, Anne is imperfect, and I love her, this divorce is killing me.
Donovan: Did you get the house?
George: I'm still waiting on the loan.

Amy: I should not have eaten those four candy bars.
Ben: You'll be fine.
Amy: Yeah, I just need to go home and take a nap.
Anne: Hey, there you are.
Amy: What are you doing inside the school and not outside?
Anne: I'm terrific. I got a job today.
Amy: You're kidding me?
Anne: No, I'm not kidding you, and they like me so much that they're letting me have an assistant. You speak Spanish, right? Well, we better go, because we start at 3:30.
Amy: We start what at 3:30?
Anne: Our job, let's go, I'll tell you about it in the car.
Amy: I've had a really long day. I just ate four $5 chocolate bars, and I don't feel too well. Maybe we could start tomorrow.
Anne: Twenty dollars worth of chocolate? You're gonna have to work at least three hours for that. Maybe more, if you factor in taxes.
Amy: Why do I get the feeling that this is not the job that I want?
Anne: It's a job that pays. That's what you want, right? And it's a start. Plus, we'll be working together. Won't that be fun?
Amy: What will be fun?
Anne: Come on, Amy, get with it, girl. If you don't have the job you want, you want the job you have.

George: She didn't tell you what kind of job?
Ashley: She didn't even tell me she had a job. You told me when you picked me up from school, if you recall.
George: What kind of job could she and Amy have together?
Ashley: I'm sure I don't know. But I guess she has a job, she can keep the baby, right?
George: Don't be ridiculous, pumpkin. We have enough money for Amy to keep the baby. I just can't tell your mother that.
Ashley: Couldn't you tell Amy?
George: No, because she'd tell your mother. How many times have we told Amy things and told her not to tell your mother and then
