[on the phone with insurance people] I am begging you, please don't cancel my policy. I know, but I got fired, and you have to give me more than a couple of days to come up with the money.....I can't drive my car without insurance! Don't you get it? No car equals no job. I have to have insurance! Look, you can tell whomever you want that you're cancelling my insurance, but you can't stop me from driving my own car. Oh, yeah? Watch me! [slams phone down]

Why is Mary's car in the driveway? Isn't she supposed to be at work, or did she get fired again?!
Time for school!
What's up?
You tell us. Is this your day off?
Did you get fired?
Building burned down? Business close for an epidemic?
Uh-uh.
Quit?
I just got another job that's all. I'm working at Pete's Pizza. I just didn't like the pool hall. I kept getting the day shift, and, well, I like the night life, I like to boogie.
Is it me or is she starting to spin?
They want me to work the double shift today: 12:00 to 12:00.
Well, maybe we can do something then.
Yeah, maybe we could. Hey, I could bring a pizza home with me and I could wake you up, and we could have a midnight snack.
Yeah! Then you could sleep over in my room!
Okay. It's a date!
GGuy
[to Mary, who is their waitress at a pizza place] Hey, you want to sit down and have a piece with us?
Um, no. I don't. Can I get you anything else?
GGuy
Yeah. I'll have your phone number written on your underwear!
GGuy
[in a taunting voice] Hey, Mary, we're saving a piece for ya!
[walks over to the table] Do you know who you're talking to? Minister's daughter. Give her a break. Behave yourself.
GGuy
And if we don't?
Then you're all going to hell.
EEveryone
[humored] Ooooooh!
I mean it.
[about the customers harassing Mary] Let my wife handle them. She's good with those types.
Frances is your wife?
Not Frances. No one calls her Frances. It's Frankie. We've been married for a year.
But you look so young!
We are young. Frankie's your age, and I'm 21.
Yeah, I thought about getting married once, too.
What changed your mind?
I don't know. I guess I just wasn't ready.
Yeah, well, neither were we, but the baby changed all that.
I'm just gonna have a cigarette. You want one?
Oh, no, thanks, I don't smoke.
Neither did I. Well, I stopped when I found out I was pregnant, but as soon as I popped Mercy out, I lit up again.
Mercy. What a great name.
She's a great baby. She's real good, she never cries. Probably because my mother watches her most of the time. She's good with babies. It's teenagers she can't handle.
Hey. You going to bed already?
Soon. I have to get up at midnight. Mary's bringing home pizza, and we're having a sleepover! It's gonna be great!
Would you like me to set the clock alarm so you get up on time?
You're the best dad ever!
Gosh. You know...it seems like just yesterday Mary was your age.
[After Mary has been pulled over for being suspected of drinking and driving]
OOfficer
Look, don't ever be in such a hurry that you aren't careful. I want you to be able to have pizza with your sister for the rest of your life.
Yeah. So do I.
I love you, Ruthie.
If you loved me, you would have been home at midnight. [turns over and closes her eyes]
S5 E4Busted
Fire's ready. [sits down with a beer]
So, if the fire's ready...
Do I have to do everything?
Well, I did everything else!
Fine, I'll cook the steaks! [storms out]
[to Mary] Don't ever get married.
Marriage takes a lot of work.
You have no idea.
[on phone with Mary] Hey, what if you and I both decided to sign up for college together next semester?
[smirks in the background] Be sure to apply for that scholarship!
Are you serious?
Sure, I'm serious. I don't know what I want to do, either, but I know I don't want to wait tables for the rest of my life.
Is that... Is that pot?
Yeah. I just need it to loosen up. This whole mother and wife gig really sucks.
Why do you always have to act like this when somebody comes over?
I don't act like this whenever someone comes over, I act like this all the time.
Right. You do act like this all the time. So when are you going to grow up?
Get off my case, will you?
You could at least help me out a little around here. It's not like I ask you to do that much.
You don't ask me to do that much? You asked me to marry you, didn't you?
[about Johnny] He's not such a bad guy, you know. He wanted to go to college, too, major in English Lit, and be a writer.
Hey. We all still have plenty of time to be whatever it is we want to be, right?
Right. [The baby starts crying from her crib] Whatever I'm going to be doesn't change who I already am: a mom.
