I'm not your ordinary sophomore
- Hey, girlfriend - yes, boyfriend?
Nothing, nothing. I just like saying that
I like hearing it.
I'm going to lose everything!
no, no, you're not. give it to me.
I can help you deal with this, but you got to let me.
Look at this. I need you to tell them that the drugs were yours.
If she confesses it should help,
But you know there's no guarantees.
Adrianna's going to be here.
If you'll just give her a few more minutes.
I cannot believe you did this to me.
You were the one person that I thought I could count on,
That I could trust.
Glad that you're okay, I really am,
But I can't keep watching you do this to yourself,
Not anymore.
- I'm a virgin. - what?
- When we ran your blood work,it turns out you're pregnant. - no.
What's navid going to think?
He's going to hate me.
Oh, my friends back home are so going to get a snow day.
Those lucky bastards.
back home, huh?
Back in kansas, I mean.
Hey, home is where the heart is, annie.
So there's a blizzard in kansas.
And a heat wave in l.a.
Seriously, I'm wearing, like, practically nothing.
What kind of nothing?
Just a black negligee.
A negligee?
It's black. it's sort of sheer.
Sort of...
Hello?
I'm on the phone!
And you shouldn't be.
It's late, annie. time to hang up.
Good night, ethan.
Good night, mrs. wilson.
Time to hang up, annie.
Fine!
Annie, charge your cell next time.
I better go.
Good night.
- Sweet dreams. - sweet dreams.
- Annie - Yeah?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.
Come, children, give me your muskets to clean.
Um, it says, "now come, children,
Give grandmother your muskets to clean."
I made a teensy adjustment.
I'm just not sure I'm plausible as a grandmother.
Yeah, well, it's a miniseries
About a 70-something revolutionary war hero
Who knits in her spare time.
not so sure plausibly is top pirority
Come, children, give grandmother your muskets to clean.
Here is my musket.
I do hope she shoots straight.
Ooh. the ac was off.
I want it off.
It's better for my vocal chords.
It's nearly 90 degrees in here.
Aren't you sweltering?
It is hot.
These vocal chords are what put this roof over our heads.
Okay, guys,
It's almost time for school.
And I happened to notice
That the trash hasn't gone out
And the dishwasher hasn't been emptied.
They're helping me rehearse red coats and blue bloods.
Yeah, grandma, has an audition.
And you have chores.
Oh, please, I pay the help to do those things.
There's no need.
There is a need.
They're kids.
They have chores so they'll learn...
What? how to take out the trash?
Is that really what you want Your children learning?
Harry...
What?
Fine. I'll do the chores.
The maid will do the chores.
Um, you know what?
We'll do the chores.
Yep, here we go, cleaning up.
Oh, hey, can I have the car this afternoon?
I want to do something with ethan. no can do.
no can do.Got something to do this afternoon.
What?
An extracurricular activity.
Okay, fine, then you can do the chores.
Break a leg today, grandma.
Thanks, sweetie.
- Yeah, break a leg - thank you.
Absolutely...
Break a leg.
You have a nice mouth.
I'm glad you like it.
Look, all I'm saying is maybe it's not
The end of the world.
I'm sorry, my optimistic friend,
But the santa ana winds do not blow in january.
What we're dealing with here, is global warming, i.e.
The end of the world as we know it, i.e. the apocalypse.
Come on, silver. the apocalypse?
I'm not kidding.
Look, one of the seven signs.
Excessive p.d.a.
Hi, guys.
Check revelations, babe.
So what's up, guys?
I actually got to run.
I got to grab a book from the library before class.
Bye, honey.
Bye, baby.
Actually, I'm gonna take off, too.
Unless you need some help.
No, I'm fine.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye, guys.
Later, guys.
See ya, man.
The phrase "gag me" comes to mind.
Why? they're happy.
They're giving me diabetes.
All, "i love you." "i love you."
"i love you, snookums." "i love you, boo boo."
Please.
Never before did a blaze lighting test have such a beautiful subject.
You're glowing.
Glowing? I'm not glowing.
Yeah, you are.
No, there's no glow Emanating from over here.
Trust me.
Is everything all right?
Are you happy?
Like, I mean, with us?
Seriously, I've never been happier,
With us or with anything else.
I wouldn't change a thing.
So you don't want things to change?
Hell, no.
I mean, I love me some barack obama,
But in this case, change is bad.
This... you and me...
Us, everything
Is just exactly right.
Seriously, I'm really happy,
Adrianna.
Yeah, me, too.
All right, I want to see some hustle
Really!
With all due respect, it's a hundred degrees out.
It's not exactly hustling weather.
Use the heat, girls, use the heat.
Oh, my god.
You two, what do you want?
I have my period.
I'm bleeding like A stuck pig
I need to see the nurse.
And you, adrianna, are you also menstruating?
No, I'm not, but I have a really bad headache.
Maybe field hockey would help.
And maybe she gets a migraine,
Falls on her field hockey stick and-- --
Oh, no, impales herself.
Are you prepared to deal with a lawsuit?
Fine, go.
But I'm warning you, ms. clark,
I'm gonna start keeping track Of your menstrual cycle.
Oh, well, that's pathetic.
Thanks.
Hey, boys.
Oh, my god!
The ac must be busted.
I knew I should have gone to crossroads.
This is such a crock.
So, how have you been?
I feel like I haven't seen you in ages.
I know. you've been hanging out with your new friends
And I've just been busy.
What's been going on? What are you up to?
Do you want to have dinner sometime?
Sure, yeah, of course.
I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to.
I just, um...
I'm, uh...
I'm going through something,
And I thought I knew how to handle it, but I don't.
And I just, i... I really need someone to talk to.
In private.
You're going through something?
Yeah, we'll do dinner.
Naomi.
Um, actually I have to go, so I'll see you later.
Hey, guys, what's up?
The heat totally melted my drink.
It tastes like coffee. ugh.
It is coffee, tasha.
What's wrong, naomi?
Nothing. it's just...
You guys know my old friend adrianna?
Yeah. the druggie-- sorry, ex-druggie now.
I think she's using again.
Well, what can you do?
You already tried to help her once, right?
I just don't know how I'm supposed to be
You're not, naomi.
I mean, I know you're upset,
But she's not worth it.
God, it just pisses me off so much!
What's with her?
I mean, why is she such a train wreck druggie?
I don't know
But I know she's not your problem.
And you add 20 of the sulfuric acid
Into to your beaker and heat until it's boiling.
Great job, Adrianna.
Bet adrianna would like to
Drop some of that sulfuric acid.
Yeah, good one.
Oh, my god!
Everyone stay in your seats.
Adrianna? adrianna, can you hear me?
Adrianna?
I can't believe this is happening again.
She's not your problem.
You're nice.
What are you two, in heat?
Hey, uh, how about a little privacy, silver?
Mm, how about a little discretion, ethan?
Annie, I need those keys.
Huh? oh, yeah.
Um, dixon has a mysterious
Extracurricular activity
That he doesn't want to talk about.
What? tell me.
It's no big deal.
I just joined the choir.
You're singing in the choir?
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Uh, nothing.
Nothing. I mean, it's
An organized
School activity where nerds stand on risers
And sing an a Capella version of
"the lion sleeps tonight."
I mean, how cool can you get?
Am I right?
Is it true
That the choirmaster's biggest credit
Is backup singer
In a pet-stain remover commercial?
'cause that's rad.
We can pretend it's just you and me.
Hello, west beverly.
And my dad.
We're in the middle of a heat wave,
And as you've probably noticed
The ac is broken.
Unfortunately, it won't be fixed
For at least another day.
Today's classes will continue as scheduled,
But-- and I know that
This will disappoint you all--
School tomorrow is canceled.
Wha...?! yes!
Beach party!
Navid!
Well, there's no navid standing behind you,
Now is there, honey?
Okay, what's your problem?
I don't have a problem.
You do. your girlfriend's using again.
Using? drugs? no, I don't think so.
I'd know, wouldn't i?
She's not always my responsibility, navid.
Who said she was?
Get over yourself, naomi.
I really was hoping
That we could hang out alone.
I promised my brother.
Tomorrow, though, it's just you and me, girl.
And a beach full of classmates.
Mm, yeah, I did really,
Really just want to be alone with you.
Annie!
- Annie! - hi!
A-a car? a car with a bow?
A car with a bow for me?
For you and your brother. you like it?
Yes! I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
- No. - okay, I get that
You don't want to give me
A car, but to take away a car,
A perfectly good car, just to prove a point?
Another car would be handy...
But you should've run it by us first.
I was pretty explicit
About this, tabitha.
I said, no car, and I meant no car.
You said no car for annie's birthday.
This is not a birthday car.
The kids got good grades
Last term, and they need a car.
Thank you, grandma.
She-she's right, okay? we do.
No, you don't need a car.
No 16-year-old
Needs a car.
There are kids
In other countries without shoes
And you think you need a car?
Okay, I want a car.
A car would useful.
I-i am grateful
For my shoes, but I would be
Very grateful for a car.
Daddy?
Deb?
Where are the keys?
The car is going back.
And I'm going
To take a nice icy cold bath.
Wow, whose car is that in the driveway?
Not ours
You know, I don't think
They did tai chi in colonial new england.
Your agita is messing with my chi, dear.
I'm sorry, but
You know what kind of sucks?
- What's that? - being a teenager.
Okay, it's like everything
Is in a conspiracy against you.
You're always being told
What you can do and where you have to be.
Nothing's in your control.
I mean, you can't have freedom
And you can't have space,
But you can't get anywhere
'Cause you can't have a car.
I'm sick of it.
I'm hot and I'm tired
And I'm tired of being a teenager.
I think you have a point.
I have something for you.
Keys. oh, grandma, we tried this.
These are not car keys.
They're keys to my palms springs getaway.
You need to get away.
Be by yourself.
Have some freedom, have some space.
Really? what better place
To chill out than the desert?
But my mother would...
I already asked her.
You're good to go.
Burger, club, double fries.
Someone's hungry.
Heat makes me hungry, bro.
Hey, you and silver
Going to the beach later?
I don't know, man.
She may have plans
Already preparing for the apocalypse
With her "the end is nigh" sign.
Oh, do I detect trouble in paradise?
Nah, man.
You know, silver's a little much sometimes
With the whole negativity and moodiness.
Come on, man, that's part of her charm.
She has that whole dissenting- voice
Thing going on, you know?
She questions things.
It's who she is, it's what she does.
She mocks everything, man.
My sister said
"I love you" to her boyfriend,
She has a field day.
All right, you know what?
Let me tell you something.
And this is drawing
From my vast experience with women, okay?
Why would silver mock annie and ethan's
"I love you's," huh?
Sour grapes, baby, sour grapes.
So you-you mean...
That chick loves you, man.
And she wants you to say it to her.
So say it to her.
You think?
Dude, I know. I'm outta here, bro.
I'll see you at the sea, bro.
Hey, man, where's my tip?!
I gave you a tip, my friend
A big tip. sour grapes.
Sorry about that. my bad.
She turned up the heat!
Who did what?
Your mother-- she turned up the heat
For her precious vocal cords,
I'm sure. I've had it, harry!
I have had it!
Take it easy.
We will turn the thermostat down.
Oh, I did, and you know what she did?
She turned it up!
And you know what I did?
I turned it down.
And you know what she did?
she turned it up!
And you know what you did? nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
What am I supposed to do?!
You are my mother, she is my wife...
You are my wife, she is my mother.
You are two powerful women,
And I respect you both.
But we're the parents, you and i.
But we live under her roof.
Maybe we shouldn't.
I need you, harry.
I can't do this alone.
Deb, where are you going?!
To turn down the thermostat.
I shouldn't be here.
I don't want to...
I shouldn't care about you, ade.
How did you even know I was here?
Talked to your mom
Delightful creature that she is.
Said you were at the library,
So I figured...
You know me
Pretty well, I guess.
Yeah, I do.
And I also know you're using drugs again.
What? no!
You're gonna lie to me again?
Really? that's great. that's fabulous.
You know what? this was a stupid idea.
I'm gonna go.
I'm... I'm pregnant.
You're...?
I'm pregnant.
Pregnant pregnant?
Oh, honey.
Yeah, it's crazy, right?
So you fainted because you...
Because I feel like crap.
What are you gonna do?
I have no clue.
Who's the father?
I think this guy named hank
Who I know from rehab.
But I don't know really.
Are you okay?
I'm scared.
Yeah.
Hey,
You want to go to palm springs?
Where?
Palm springs. I got the keys
To my grandma's house in palm springs.
Where we could be alone.
Totally alone.
You want to blow off the beach party so you and me can
Go to palm springs?
I'm ready. I'm ready to go to palm springs.
Well, then, uh...
Let's... go to palm springs.
Okay, let's.
I'm gonna go to palm springs.
Look at them with their frisbees,
Frisbee-ing their cares away.
Hey, we don't have to do this today.
No, it's okay,, I told navid I would show up.
You haven't told him about the you-know-what?
No, not yet.
I mean, I wanted to, I just, I don't...
I don't really know what to say.
I mean, how do you tell your boyfriend
That you're pregnant with somebody else's you-know-what?
He's such a great guy.
And he's so happy right now.
I'm going to tell him, eventually.
I just...
When the timing is right.
You don't have to decide today, okay?
Today is
About frisbee-ing your cares away!
Okay.
Come on, I think we're all set up over here.
So... here we are, in palm springs.
Yeah, uh, we are here in palm springs.
Do you want me to show you around.
- Yeah. - I haven't been here in ages.
Um, this is the dining room.
-Nice! -yeah.
Uh, kitchen.
Very nice.
And... this is the living room.
Awesome.
Yeah. uh, you can just
Leave your bags
- Wherever. - yeah.
Uh, yeah, um, and out here,
This... is...
The pool.
Wow, cool.
Uh, then back there is the bedroom,
And...
Bedroom?
Uh...
D-do you want to play cards?
Uh... cards?
Or anything?
Or food-- we should probably get food.
- Are you hungry? - yeah.
Let's get some food, and then...
Then you can... show me the bedroom.
Sounds good.
God, what do you have in that bag, a body?
Like a very heavy but small body?
We're making a sand castle.
No, not just a sand castle,
The greatest sand castle.
What?
Um... nothing.
Let's just build a sand castle.
Yeah.
You know, I used to be a, uh, major drip- castle aficionado,
But people didn't think that that's inherently amateurish.
And I disagree.
Done well, they can be very gaudi.
Not gaudy. gaudi.
Spanish architect.
Yeah, sure, right.
Water in that one. go.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, my god.
I heard west bev's
Favorite train-wreck druggie
Is back on the tracks.
Get it?
Tracks?
Get lost, george.
Go!
Geez.
Ignore him.
He's a total sponge.
Yeah.
Did annie call you to check in?
She didn't say when this beach party would be over.
No.
Harry wore cloth diapers.
What?
By which I mean...
I have been doing this parenting thing
For a long, long time.
Where is annie?
I gave her the keys to my house
In palm springs.
Let me explain.
You can try.
She needed some alone time, some time away from the family.
She's a teenager,
And it isn't easy being a teenager.
We forget-- it's very stressful.
I did what I thought was best.
You sent our daughter to palm springs alone?
Now, don't get your hackles up, debbie.
She's perfectly safe, I assure you.
She's in palm springs.
Your mother sent our daughter
To her house in palm springs.
Where I just installed
A fancy-shmancy security system.
Safety is one thing, but that's not even the point.
Then what is the point?
The point is that annie is our daughter,
And you had no right to butt in.
I know-- we live under your roof.
But these are our children-- debbie's and mine--
And, mom, if you can't accept that,
we can move out from under your roof
Who knew liverould come in so many forms?
Yeah, okay, so...
Set menu, seven courses, this is number, what, three?
With any luck, uh, we'll be
Out of here by the time our college applications are due.
Great. oh.
My mom!
But my grandma said
Everything is cool with her, and tonight is about
Being alone with you, so no calls.
Yeah, apparently, no edible food, either.
Um, sweetbreads are not actually
Sweet bread, in case you were wondering.
Um...
I'm ready.
To go to palm springs.
Then let's get out of here.
And I want him
You're finally here.
What the hell? you guys told everyone
Adrianna's a druggie?
Uh, yeah.
That's what you told us-- that she's a train-wreck druggie.
Yeah, well, she's not, okay, she's my friend.
And from now on, no one talks trash
About any of my friends.
Got it?
But I thought... yeah, it's...
It's no problem. sure.
But I thought...
No problem.
Good.
I love you.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- What's going on? - nothing,
Nothing, I'm sorry.
What?
It's just... I just waited for this moment for so long
And it's kind of incredible, you know.
I'm just, I'm really kind of nervous.
Well, tha-that's okay, that's normal.
It's just... it's a big deal.
Today I'm a virgin and tomorrow I won't be,
And this is really, really important to me,
And I always thought I would do it with someone
That I really cared about,
You know, someone who was the one,
Maybe the one and only.
And I think I found him.
I'm sorry.
What?
I don't think I can do this.
what if things of us don't work out
What do you mean? you think we're going to break up?
No, no, I just...
What if something happens and...
You and i... don't work
And I end up hurting you?
I don't want to hurt you.
Too late. you just did.
Ah!
Ha, ha.
Yo, navid, where's your girlfriend at?
'cause we could use someone with a hollow leg on our team.
Or...
Maybe she's only into harder stuff.
Adrianna is clean, george, all right?
She's a druggie, navid.
Wake up and smell the blow.
You shut up.
Oh, my god, navid, stop it.
Navid, stop it, he's not worth it.
He's not worth it.
What was that all about?
It was about you, ade, all right?
Are you defending my honor again?
I'm sorry I got out of hand, okay?
You know the rumors aren't true, right?
Of course I know the rumors aren't true.
Um...
"um" what?
You okay?
It's not a good "um."
I'm...
Pregnant.
You're pregnant?
You're joking, right?
It was before we were together.
Hey, I'm just going to walk away.
- No, no, please... - hey, no, don't even worry about it.
- Please, please, please, don't. - I just have to go, okay?
I just need some time to think, all right?
I can't believe annie would go to palm springs
Without asking us first.
The lights are out.
That is ethan's car.
Ethan's car.
Harry, remember the fancy- schmancy security system.
Right.
Careful.
Oh, here. there he is. there's ethan.
What's he doing?
He's asleep on the couch by himself.
Where's annie?
Harry?
Deb!
Over here.
There she is.
Oh. in bed... asleep.
By herself.
What?
Harry. what?
What are we doing?
I don't know. I don't know.
It is probably good for her to have some time away from her parents.
So you're saying we shouldn't just bust in there?
I think not.
You know, I think I've been second-guessing
Myself in the parenting department lately.
Why? because of sean?
I guess. sorry.
I know that that's made things harder on you.
Well, your mother's tried to pick up the slack.
As I said.
It's okay.
I guess we're all just trying to do our best.
Even your mother.
Although I can't say
I mind getting away.
I agree.
You smell so good.
What?
Do I have sand on my face or something?
No.
Uh, no.
I love you.
Thank you.
"thank you"?
I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Just... forget it.
What... I have to say something back?
It's obligitory?
Just... forget it, all right?
And now you're mad at me.
That's fantastic.
One minute you love me, and the next minute you're mad at me?
Whatever, silver.
No.
It's not fair.
I didn't do anything.
Why are you mad at me?
Because I didn't say exactly what you said to me?
Is that why you're mad?
Because if that's what you want to do, I'll do it.
Or you could just hold up some cue cards hey...
Then I can read what you want me to say.
You're overreacting.
No, I'm not. I'm just reacting.
But maybe not the way that you wanted, and I am sorry.
Could you please not act like a freak?
Is that what you think of me? a freak?
Screw you, dixon!
I guess we should get going, we got a long drive ahead of us.
Yeah, well, at least the heat wave's over, right?
Oh, my lord, my parents?
Are here in palm springs?
And they're blocking us in.
Where... are they?
Mom?
Dad?
Annie?
Ethan.
Mrs. wilson.
Principal wilson.
What are you doing here?
I think that we could ask you that very same question.
But we won't.
So, I think we all have school today.
Uh... then we should get going.
Right.
You guys drive safe.
You, too.
Okay.
Bye.
You don't think they...?
I don't even want to think about it.
Harry.
Ade.
It's nice and cool in here.
Yeah, thank goodness, huh?
So, how did your walking go?
Or is this a bad time?
Do you need to walk some more?
No, I'm good. you know, I walked enough.
I think.
And...?
Ade, um...
I want to tell you that I can do this,
That I can handle this, that I can deal with
Having a girlfriend...
Who is pregnant by some other guy.
Navid, I'm not really asking you for anything.
Good.
Um... 'cause i-i don't if I can do anything.
Or be anything to you.
I... I just really don't know how to handle this.
Okay.
I'm really sorry, ade.
Listen... I'm sorry.
It's all right, it's cool.
Yeah?
Sure.
We'll just pretend it never happened.
Okay.
Sounds good.
Uh... I better go.
Okay.
So, I'll see you later?
Um... yeah, sure.
Bye.
The kids can have the car.
Really?
It was very generous of you
And it will come in handy.
But they have to pay for their own gas,
And their own insurance.
I'm putting my foot down about that.
I am sorry, you know?
I crossed the line.
It's hard to know when to get involved and when to butt out.
I want this to work.
But we have to set some ground rules.
That sounds good.
I work well with structure.
But it'll have to wait till I get back.
From?
Concord, massachusetts.
I got the miniseries.
I'm marmee osgood in red coats and blue bloods.
Don't worry, deb.
My decision had nothing to do with you.
I need the work.
I miss it.
And I think you've got everything under control here.
Thanks, tabitha.
Ooh, and I'm glad you gave the kids a car.
Because after what you two did in that minivan,
I wouldn't want to drive it either.
So I owe you an apology.
These rumors about you being on drugs
Is the last thing you need right now.
Hey, it's not your fault.
Yeah, actually... it is.
I told the blendeds you were using again.
It was before I knew about... you know...
And they told everyone.
Why would you say that?
Because that's what I thought.
I mean, I don't know, I was angry.
Before, when you were using,
I really wanted to help you.
I reached out to you and you really hurt me.
You lied and... you let me down.
I know I did.
And I'm sorry.
So...
Where do we stand?
Well, I'm 16...
I'm having a baby,
So that makes me a walking statistic.
And my boyfriend just broke up with me...
What?
Yeah, that's delightful.
I'm all alone and I'm going through this.
You're not alone, ade.
Okay, I'm here, I'm really here. okay?
And if you want to have this baby,
I'll go with you to lamaze class.
Or if you don't want to have it, I'll take you to the clinic.
And if you can't decide,
I'll sit with you until you can.
If you'll let me.
Thanks.
Naomi, adrianna,
We're waiting!
Lay off the 'roids, you old freak-bag.
Come on.
Ethan?
I need to talk to you.
Uh, yeah, well, you didn't have much to say
In the car ride home this morning.
Last night...
I wanted to be with you so badly,
But... I freaked out
Because it's not just sex with you.
It's something more.
Hearing those things, the emotions and stuff,
That you attach to sex,
It made me realize that I feel the same way.
And I want it, but I just want to make sure
That we have a strong...
Whatever, foundation before we get there.
So maybe we could slow things down a little?
And, um, how do you propose we slow things down?
Well, I propose a date.
Just a typical, normal, boring high school date.
No liver, no seven courses.
Just a movie and some making out.
What do you say?
I say yes.
I love you, annie wilson.
I love you, ethan ward.
