The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Previously on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager"...

Thank you so much for letting me stay with you.

I think if I keep picturing her, she'll maybe show up here again.

If you're gonna be involved with Amy and the baby,

I don't think I can see you anymore.

She's upset because I've decided to dothe responsible thing.

I wanna find my father.

My mom's here.

She doesn't know you're not living here.

Adoption is not an option.

I should've told you.

It's kind of embarrassing having Alzheimer's when you can rember it.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm not going anywhere.

You know,we don'thave to go tonight

if you don't want us to. I don't have to,anyway.

No,you should go.

You should see your dad.

Why?

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.

I don't know what I wanna do about school,other than not going.

Well,That's not really an option.

Look,I don't understand why I can't call in sick for five months.

Me,neither,but you can't.

So

Do you know where he's taking you?

Where?

Did he tell you not to tell me?

OK,you guys have fun.OK?

I'm gonna have fun.

I mean I love having this house to myself.

We're just gonna hang out.

But hang out where?

You don't even wanna leave the house.

At his place.You know.

He has a place now.

Oh.

He has a place now.

Yeah,but I'm sure it's a real dump.

It better be.

Thanks,fellas. This was a really good idea.

I don't know why you volunteered,

But thank you.

I just want you to be able to see your daughters.

Oh,and don't tell my mom I let you do this.

Are you kidding?

No. She'd kill me especially since you dumped her.

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.

See ya.

Here goes nothin'.

It's great,Dad.

Yeah,except for the fact that you got one bed for the two of us.

Strange,with you owning a furniture store and all.

It came furnished.

It's a sublet kinda thing.

You konw,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 konw you girls slept together like you did when you were kids.

Yeah,Dad,great.

We're not spending the night.

We never agreed to that.

I know,but sometime you might want to.

Doubt it.

So you guys wanna get some pizzaor something? You wanna go out?

No,I definitely don't wanna go out.

I don't wanna run into anybody I know from school or band.

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.

Thanks,Dad.

I appreciate your support.

Do you mind if I call Ben?

Oh,you and Ben,you're still...

Yeah,we're still...

Do you mind?

No,go ahead. That's good.I like Ben.

What?

So whose place is this, your girlfriend's?

What?

Dad,it smells like perfume.

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.

I think we all know your smell.

What kind of pizza you want?

I'm not hungry.

I can't go anywhere.

I don't wanna go anywhere.

What about if I came over there?

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.

So is that a yes?Is it OK?

I don't know how this thing works.

I'm pretty sure Ashley and I belong to my dad tonight.

You belong to me.

We belong to each other.

I have to see you.

I feel the same way.

I have to be here for my dad.

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...

I don't know.

Come on. Ask your dad. He won't mind.

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'msupposed to do about school stuff.

But your dad likes me. I like him.

And we both love you.

I miss you. Ha-ha. I really miss you.

Then ask him.

You konw it wouldn't be fair to Ashley.

What wouldn't be fair?

Um,if Ben came over.

No one cares. Dad wants to know what kind of pizza you want.

Sausage and peppers.

Hey,I'm on my way.

I'll ask for your address when I pick up the pizza.OK,bye.

Well?

Hey. 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,uh,

make yourself at home.

Oh,Maybe I'll go with you.

Uh,well,um...

Alice had to go to hergreat-aunt's.

- It's hergreat-aunt's birthday. - Oh

Um. Why didn't you go with her?

I didn't want to.

Don't you usually go to all the family parties?

Yeah,usually.

Why not this one?

If you don't want me to go with you,that's OK.

I can just go home.

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?

Yeah,I'm OK.

No,something's wrong.

Yeah,something, but we can talk tomorrow.

You go to Amy's dad's,have fun, don't worry about me.

Oh,OK. Yeah, I really don't have time to talk.

I gotta go get the pizza.

You wanna come with?

Yeah,thanks.

I just wish you had told me that this is what we were gonna do.

I told my parents we were getting pizza.

We got pizza. It's in the back seat.

I know, but I didn't tell them the whole truth,

and I've already been ina lot of trouble for not telling them the whole truth.

You think if we would've told 'em we were going

to look for my father, they would've let you come with me?

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.

Thought your parents were out on their corny date night.

I don't think it's corny.

I think it's kinda romantic.

Please.

Date night's for people who aren't having sex.

Oh,my parents have plenty of sex.

How do you know?

I'm just assuming.

Where's your brother? Where's Tom?

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.

I just wanna see what the guy looks like.

You konw I'm not gonna cause a big scene or anything.

What?

What time can I see you?

I told you,I'm busy.

Come on,Adrian. I can't go this long without you,

or someone.

Thanks. I'm sure you mean that as a compliment.

Look,I told you, I can't tonight.

Why not?

I just can't,OK?

Oh,and don't bother calling Grace. She's with me.

Good night.

Ricky.

I,uh,talked to Jack earlier.

Actually,I've talked to him all week about you.
