Amy: I don't know. Just some business.

Amy: I think I'm going to start a business.
Ashley: What kind of business?
Amy: I don't know. Just some business.
Ashley: To start some business, don't you need some money? I know... shut up.
Ricky: (to Adrian) No pity, okay? I don't need pity. It will change the sex.
Anne: I also found out today that you're trying to get money for Amy's baby, so I don't know. Maybe it's the doctor's appointment or everything else that's happening, but that news just kind of upset me.
Bob: Well, it's not just her baby. There's a father, and that's my son, so it's actually your daughter's baby and my son's baby. So who knows? Maybe someday, we'll be in-laws.
Anne: We are never gonna be in-laws, and you're not gonna go anywhere near my daughter or your son or their baby. You got that? Because if you do, if you go near him or her, or the baby, you're gonna regret it.
Bob: Really? Regret it, you say?
Anne: Listen to me. I'm a woman on the verge. My 15-year-old daughter is having a baby. My husband's having an affair. I'm getting a divorce after 16 years of marriage. I've got to get a job, and my mom has Alzheimer's, and I can't take it anymore. I can't take it like if one more bad thing happens to me, like if I find out you're sending couples over to try to adopt the baby, and you're somehow making money off of it.
Bob: So what are you saying, Anne? Are you saying...are you threatening me? It's not nice to threaten people.
Anne: I'm not threatening you. I don't even know how to threaten a man like you. But I figure you're afraid of me. I figure you're afraid of everything and everyone, because what kind of a man hits his own wife and child? I'll tell you what kind. A coward. What kind of a man preys on innocent children? A coward. That's right. You're a coward. I bet you get high so you can forget that, but you're a coward. Am I right?
Adrian: Ricky, please! This is as close as I've ever felt to you. Tonight, in there! Just talk to me, please!
Ricky: I don't feel like talking to you! It's personal!
Adrian: More personal than sex?!?!
Ricky: Yeah, a lot more personal than sex!
Adrian: Come on, Ricky! Look, just don't run away tonight, okay? Just talk to me. Just tell me what this is about. You can tell me.
Ricky: I can't.
Adrian: You can if you want. I'm not gonna tell anyone. Whatever it is, I'm not gonna say anything. Don't you know me better than that by now?
Ricky: You don't know me, either.
Adrian: Well, then, let's get to know each other.
Ricky: You want to get to know me? You want to know who I am? The reason I'm in foster care is not just because my dad smacked me around and smacked my mom around. It's not just because they were both drug addicts and abandoned me over and over again! It's because my dad used to come home after a long day of hanging out and getting high to teach me a little lesson in how hard it is to be a man in this world!
Amy: I am not feeling sorry for myself! I'm doing the responsible thing by trying to find two adults who can provide my baby with a stable home and a loving family!
Ashley: If you had done the responsible thing six months ago.
Amy: Ashley, what's your point?
Ashley: My point is that I hope you don't make the same mistake twice. Not that you could, exactly.
Amy: What is wrong with you? I'm not interested in Ricky! I don't want to talk to him. I have to talk to him. He has to go along with the adoption, or there's no sense in even interviewing couples.
Ashley: And if he doesn't go along with it?
Amy: Then I'll just drop out get a full-time, put the baby in daycare, and embrace teen motherhood. Sound good to you?
Ashley: You're so dramatic.
Amy: I'm pregnant. I'm 15!
Ashley: Yeah, yeah. You're pregnant, and you're 15. You're not the only pregnant teenager in the world, so stop feeling so sorry for yourself.
Amy: I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I'm doing the responsible thing by trying to find two adults who could provide my baby with a stable home and a loving family.
Grace: (to Adrian) You're the 'b' word!
Adrian: Oh, the 'b' word? What's the 'b' word, Grace?
Grace: You know what the 'b' word is, Adrian, because that's what you are.
Adrian: Say it!
Grace: No, I'm not gonna say it, I'm gonna say something else.
Adrian: What, a prayer? Are you gonna say a prayer you little bible thumping two-faced virgin?!
Grace: Yeah, maybe I will (puts hands together like she is praying) God, help Adrian, because she's a bitch!
I got a job today.
You're kidding me!
No, I'm not kidding you. And they like me so much that they're letting me have an assistant. You speak Spanish, right?
Right.
Okay, well, we better go, because we start at 3:30.
We start what at 3:30?
Our job. Come on, let's go. I'll tell you about it in the car.
Mom, 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.
$20 worth of chocolate? You're gonna have to work at least three hours for that, and maybe more, after taxes.
(to Ricky) So who's your second choice if you don't get Amy and/or the baby? I mean, I know you're used to getting what you want, but let's just say this time, you don't. Who you gonna go after? Adrian? Oh no, 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 she's a little out of your league, don't you think? Oh, 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 you gonna do that? I mean, 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's gonna cost you. But you know that, right? You shouldn't take things you can't pay for, Ricky.
Amy: No time for waffles. We're gonna be late for school! And by the way, Ashley, yogurt is much healthier than chocolate chip waffles.
Ashley: The pregnant girl's concerned about being tardy?
Amy: Yes. And I'm concerned about your health.
Ashley: Well, until and unless I'm living in your stomach, leave my health to me.
Amy: Do you really think I don't care about my baby?
Ashley: No. You care too much, yet not enough.
Amy: What does that mean?
George: Something good, right Ash?
Ashley: You care enough to take care of the baby before he's born, but you don't care enough to take care of him after that?
Amy: I can't! Someone else has to do that. Why can't you understand that?
Ashley: I can't understand it, and I don't think the baby will understand it when he grows up, either.
Amy: This is not some weird group project, Ashley. This is a human being, and I am responsible for this human being. He's my son. I have to do the right thing. I have to do what's best for him. I have to find him a home.
Ashley: Think about yourself. Think about doing the best thing for yourself, because maybe it's the best thing for you and your baby to stay together.
Amy: I can't think about that, because it's not...it can't be.
Ashley: Why can't it? Why do you insist on believing that this is a bad thing that happened? Because that's what other people think? Please listen to me, Amy. Please. I know you want to be in the band, but it's not the band that's important to you. It's music. You love music, and you can still play your French horn when the baby comes. And I know school is important to you, but really, isn't it education that's important? You'll get the education that you want somehow, Amy. I know you will, because you're smart. You've always been smart, so you'll figure out school. You'll figure out a way, and you'll find some work, something where you can earn some money. You can do this, Amy. You really can. It's possible that this baby's a good thing for all of us. It's possible that we can all learn how to live from this and be happy. Come on. so Mimsy has Alzheimer's, and Mom and Dad are getting a divorce, and the family's splitting up, and you got pregnant the first time you had sex. So what? Maybe it's all good. Maybe if it isn't, let's just say it is.
Amy: When did you move away from the dark side?
Ashley: As soon as I could.
Anne: Amy, I know that you want to keep the baby. I can feel it, and while I don't know how I feel about you taking on motherhood at 15 years old, I think that you could do it, if that's what you really wanted. And that's what I told Reverend Stone today.
Amy: (hugs her) I got a job! A job with insurance and daycare, and Ben got a job, and Ricky got a job, and everyone wants to help, Mom. Everyone. I think I can do it, if only you'll let me do it. Will you? Will you let me keep the baby? I'll be a good mom. I promise I will.
Anne: Of course, Amy. Of course you can, and I will help you as much as I can. But Amy, this is going to be your baby, and you have to take care of him, and it's not gonna be easy.
Amy: (crying) Thank you. Thank you! I know that I can be a good mom, because I've got the best mom in the whole world.
Shana: Are you the slut that had oral sex with Jack and broke him up with his girlfriend?
Grace: Oh no! No, no, no. This is, um, the slut's condo, but I'm just answering the door.
Amy: Why do we keep hiding things from Mom?
George: Because it's fun, and because she reacts badly to almost everything, and because it's good practice for all the other things I'll have to keep from her when I move out of here.
