You are not Robbie's father!
Neither are you.
Sticks and stones. Ouch.
You wouldn't understand. You have a mother. A real mother. Sometimes, I wish I had a real mother, too, not someone who would rather be my friend than my mother. Friends, I have. People to go to parties and dances with, I have. A mother, I don't have and haven't had since my parents got divorced. That's when my mother decided that she didn't want to be a mother anymore.
I had no idea you felt this way. I thought you liked having a mother who was hip and cool and un-motherlike.
What's so hip and cool about being locked in some stranger's bathroom while your mother flirts and carries on with some guy who's too old for us and too young for her? Welcome to the dark side of having a hip and cool mom.
You know, just because you bake cookies and make lunches and drive a carpool does not make you better than me. It does not mean you're a better mother! I am a good mother, too!
This isn't about us! This is about you and your daughter. It's about you growing up and acting your age. This is about you being an adult so she can be a child. It's about parenthood and it has nothing to do with cookies, and everything to do with raising children! Helping them find their way, loving them and putting their needs first. How is your daughter supposed to learn how to be a mother if you won't be a mother to her?
Mom, can you grow up and act your age for just once?
You cannot talk to me like that. I am your mother!
My mother? I thought I was your best friend. Which one is it? Mother or best friend?
Can't I be both?
No! Because I want a mother who tells me what to do. A mother who tells me to do my homework, to go to bed. I want a mother with her own life, her own friends. I don't want a mother who makes a fool of herself, flirting around with some guy who's half her age! I know it isn't all about me, but why does it have to be all about you?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what? For caring about me? For giving me the first real home I ever had? For being the dad I never had and always wanted? For forgiving me my past mistakes and being so supportive and kind? You have nothing to be sorry for.
Enthusiasm is good for a good life.
Yeah, that's just what Doc said.
I think I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend.
Here in Buffalo?
No, back home.
In Glenoak?
Yeah... In Glenoak... At my home. Robbie lives with my family.
Is he planning to move out here?
No.
Are you planning to back there?
No.
Long distance relationships don't usually work out.
I know.
I think you should come home, Mary.
I'm sorry, Robbie, but I'm not ready to come home.
(to Simon and Ruthie) Why is such a terrible question, really. I mean everytime you ask why , a because follows and everytime you say because, another why is asked.
Why are you set against dad helping Serena?
I don't wanna talk about it.
I know I am only 18 and still your child, but I would be grateful if you would treat me like a friend and a woman in this situation and honestly tell me what's going on.
I'd like to, but I can't.
Why? Because you're wrong.
Well, helping people can be complicated. That's why your dad is always warning us to be harmless instead of helpful.
I should pay attention to that. It's probably one of the lessons I have to learn over and over.
When you're older, you and I will be adult friends and we can talk about everything, but not yet.
That's fine with me. Just please know I am always on your side.
I noticed your name is not on Ruthie's petition?
No, I don't put my name on anything like that. I'm not even registered to vote.
That's criminal.
In America?
In this house! Register to vote, today!
It's not voting season.
Do you like living here?
Yeah, I love living here. I just don't want to register to vote. I feel like it puts me on some government's list.
You are! You are on the governments list of registered voters.
[to Eric] Annie has a sister. [to Annie] I know this must change the way you look at me.
Yes, maybe it does. Maybe it's the first time I've looked at you as a person and not just my father. And I love you more than ever for always trying to do the right thing. Because really that's the only way to live without... regret.
Hey, Mom and Ruthie. I'm home.
Thank God. Give the phone lines a rest.
Oh, I didn't know you and Robbie were back. Welcome home.
Yeah, some welcome home, No one's here. Where is everyone?
Well, me and Ruthie have been working on the new room for you over garage. Everyone else is out they'll be home for dinner including Lucy's new boyfriend.
So you're building a room over the garage for me? So you and Dad can make sure that me and Robbie are as far apart as possible. Robbie told me not to, but I really need to talk to you and Dad. Where is he?
Probably with his new girlfriend.
You father's at the Church.
Yeah with his girlfriend.
Dad has a girlfriend?
Serena.
No, he doesn't. What's wrong?
It's about the rule that... never mind.
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to stop you from making a huge mistake.
What we had in New York stays in New York and I'm leaving New York. End of story. I want to go home.
Yes, but do you want to go home to Robbie?
Yeah. I love him.
No, you love me. I know you do. Come on, how many people get a second chance? This is our second chance. Don't blow it.
I'm sorry, Wilson, I'm going home and that's what you should do. To just go home and forget about me. It's over.
Engaged?
Yes. I'm engaged. Jeremy and I are in love and we're gonna get married.
This isn't like you. You've smart. You're levelheaded.
I am smart and levelheaded, so can't you trust that I'm making the right choice with my life? You and Mom weren't much older than I am when you got engaged and look how you guys turned out. And you didn't have a scholarship or any money when you moved back East. Everything I want to do is possible, and you know that. And that's what's killing you because you know I will make this work with Jeremy and you don't want me to. You want me to stay here at home until you're ready for me to leave. I'm sorry, but I'm ready to leave now. I love you and Mom, but I love Jeremy too.
