I thought you'd be dressed by now.

No, I just feel like running.
Do you mind?

I got what I need.

- Your heart's fine.
- Oh, yeah?

I hope so.

I hope you're right.
I hope you're right, and I'm wrong.

- I'm right, and you're wrong.
- Can I bet my life on it?

You can bet your life on it.

Oh, good,
because that's what I'm doing.

I'm betting my life
that you're right and I'm wrong.

Eric,
why don't you go talk to someone?

Why?
There's nothing wrong with me.

I didn't say that. I said
there's nothing wrong with your heart.

You might wanna talk to someone
before you get so stressed out

there is something wrong
with your heart.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Is it Annie?

Matt?

Mary? Lucy?

Simon? Ruthie? The twins?

Is it the kid who moved in with you?
Is it Robbie?

It's all of them.

Hi, honey, I'm home.

Your honey is taking a nap.

She's napping a lot these days.

And she's eating
all sorts of weird stuff.

Kind of reminds me
of when she was having the twins.

- Oh. Lucy?
- Still hasn't unpacked.

She's just sitting. Same place she was
when I left for school this morning.

Did Jeremy call?

And we have no idea
what happened?

- Well, maybe Mary knows.
- You mean, Mrs. Wilson West?

[CRYING]

She's not Mrs. Wilson West yet.

I don't know who cries more,
him or Mom or Lucy.

- Do you have any good news?
- Nope.

Mom wants you
to take us all out for dinner.

- She doesn't feel like cooking.
- I can do that. Where's Simon?

He has friends who drive.
We've seen the last of Simon.

Oh, no, we haven't.

[BOYS BABBLING]

What are you doing home?

Well, didn't Mom tell you
I got laid off?

- From your job at the hospital?
- What other job did I have?

- Well, what are you gonna do?
- Well, what can I do?

- Look for another job.
- What, you don't think I'm looking?

- Are you looking?
- Well, of course I'm looking.

- Where?
- Where am I looking?

Well, I'm looking all over.

But, you know,
all over where, specifically?

Well, okay, I'm not actually looking.

- Other people are looking for me.
- What people?

Well, Hank
and other people I worked with.

They're making phone calls.

Are you making
some phone calls yourself?

No, but I'm gonna
make some phone calls.

When?

- Tomorrow.
- Why not now?

Dad, I haven't been out of work
48 hours. Come on.

You can't afford to be out of work
for 48 hours,

much less, you know,
72 hours, or any hours.

Is something wrong?

Is something wrong? Didn't you
just tell me that you got laid off?

I got a lot of people to take care of
around here,

you know, and every little bit helps.
Believe me.

Every little bit.

Oh, well, Mom-- But Mom's not...

You know, she's not...

You two didn't...?

- Don't go anywhere. We're going out.
SIMON: I made plans.

Yeah, but we're going out to dinner.

- "We" who?
- We, the Camdens,

are going out to dinner. And you,
being a Camden, are going with us.

- Do I have to?
- You have to.

Can't I just eat with my friends?

What part of "you have to"
wasn't clear?

Well, what's next?
"Because I said so"?

You know, this isn't a conversation
I wanna have with my son

who is only six weeks away
from getting his learner's permit.

- Four weeks.
- Six.

- But you said four.
- Now I say six.

The law says
I could've gotten it six months ago.

Yeah, but I'm the law
here in this house. Six weeks.

But the law is the law
outside of this house.

And that law, the law
that every other teenager relies on

as protection from
overbearing parents, says otherwise.

And yet it's going to be six weeks.

And if you're attitude
doesn't change to gratitude,

it's gonna be seven or eight
or nine weeks,

depending on when you recognise
that driving is a privilege.

Yes, driving is a privilege.
It's a privilege that comes at 15.

- And it's granted by the DMV.
- Let me ask you something.

Do you live at the DMV?

Do you eat at the DMV?

Did the DMV
buy you those sneakers?

You know, the ones in your closet,
the ones you never wear?

Oh, and one more thing, is the DMV
buying you dinner? No, I am.

You wanna talk?

Well, you know what,
we should talk anyway.

You left home.
You went to New York.

You moved in with Jeremy
and his family.

And then, without warning, boom,
back on our doorstep.

We'd love to know what happened.

You know, it was a bad goodbye,
a long and terrible flight,

and I don't feel like talking about it.

Okay, then.

What do you mean
by "bad goodbye"?

- I am 18. I am an adult.
- Okay. Okay.

And I don't want to talk about it.

[GRUNTING]

So how'd it go?

[GROANS]

You know, I was thinking,

maybe she'd be more comfortable
in the room over the garage.

Maybe I'd be more comfortable
in the room over the garage.

- Speaking of which, Mom's up.
- Okay.

I'm honoured.

I see you'd rather be with me
than the others.

And who can blame you?
So do you wanna talk to me?

Sure, I always wanna talk to you,
Ruthie.

- What's new?
- Mm, nothing, really.

I'm just a couple years away
from puberty. I'm prepuberty.

- Prepubescent, they call it.
- Yeah.

So I'm gonna be
going through some changes.

Yes, you are. And I hope you know

that whatever changes
you're experiencing,

that you can talk to me about them.

Changes can be very exciting.

Changes can also be scary,

and sometimes we have
very little control

over the changes we experience.

None, really,

except the way we react
to those changes.

And controlling our reactions
requires a lot of conscious effort.

It's, uh--
We don't wanna get too stressed.

We just have to stand back,
observe what's going on.

You know, go with the flow.
Live life from moment to moment,

doing the best we can do
for who we are.

That's deep.
Are we talking about you or me?

Everyone, pretty much.

- Do you have any questions?
- Maybe later.

Anytime.

Yeah.

We're going out to dinner,
just so you know.

Mrs. Camden's feeding the twins.

She asked me
if I can keep an eye on them.

Maybe she wasn't planning
on taking them along.

- I think she's tired.
- I thought we were all going.

- Have you talked to her?
- To Mary?

You're gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I hope.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

I thought we were all going out
to dinner.

I don't feel like having dinner
with everyone.

I don't feel like being around people.
I'm just gonna go pick up something.

Is that a problem?

You know, I pulled some strings
to get you into Cobell Seminary.

Are you planning to go back
to New York to go to Cobell?

Isn't it enough
that I'm not getting married?

You want me to tell you
I'm not going to college in New York?

Is that what you want?
More bad news?

Okay, okay, I'm not going to Cobell.
Are you happy?

Oh, look's like Lucy's not only back,
she's crying just like the old days.

Some things never change, huh?

Where are you going?

- To look for a job.
- Now?

I thought you wanted me
to look for a job.

Yeah, but I thought
we were all gonna have dinner.

Well, I could go to dinner,
but then I couldn't look for a job.

Uh-huh.

Hi.

I don't know why you wanna
tie yourself down with a family.

I mean, it's a lot of responsibility.
A tremendous responsibility.

- An unending responsibility.
- Who's that?

No, all I'm saying
is that you need to live your own life

before you live someone else's life.

Otherwise, when you get to my age,

you're gonna wanna live
the life you never had.

And you're always gonna wonder
about what you could've done

if you hadn't limited your choices
so early on.

- It's Mary, all right?
- Fine, fine.

I just didn't realise you had limited
your choices so early on

and that left you wanting
the life you never had.

- When did you start thinking like that?
- I'll call you back.

I was trying to have a conversation
with our daughter

before she goes out
and does something stupid.

Well, she can't seriously
be considering marrying Wilson.

Not now. Not anytime soon.

Oh, yes, she can,
now or sometime soon.

Ruthie wants to have dinner
in her room.

She's got some project
she's working on.

I thought you wanted me
to take everyone out.

Yeah, but it looks like
it's just gonna be you and Simon.

You need to do something
about his attitude.

- What would you have me do?
- I don't know.

But you better do something,

because I can't stand some things
he says and does lately.

It's like he's practically drunk
with testosterone.

And, you know, he better sober up
before I sober him up,

because I'm not in the mood for it.

Is there something going on with you
that I don't know about?

Something
that we should talk about?

Something's wrong with Simon.
Why would you think

- something's wrong with me?
- I'm just asking.

Asking, why?

You just seem...

- ...different.
- Different, how?

You seem...

- ...tired.
- Tired?

Well...

Heh, heh, of course I'm tired.

I've got seven kids and a husband.
Who wouldn't be tired?

I'm always tired. I've always been tired.
It's just that I used to hide it better.

And now I don't feel
like hiding it anymore, okay?

[GASPING THEN CRYING]

Well, I-- I mean, I just...

I was just making a little joke.
I mean, I didn't mean anything.

Come on,
it was funny the way you said that.

That was funny.

Is leaving Sam and David
alone in the kitchen funny too?

Oh, gee.

So I hear
it's just the two of us for dinner.

Yeah, unless Mary decides
to come home and join us.

Mary's never coming home.

She's gonna marry that guy.
Count on it.

Hi, honey, I'm home.

Which one of us
are you calling honey?

The gorgeous blond.

I thought so.

- I love you.
- I love you.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?
- Hi.

JOHN [OVER PHONE]:
Oh, hi, Robbie.

You know, Mary has her own line
into the house now

if you wanna leave a message.

No, I just called to say hello.

- To me?
- Yes, sir.

I haven't talked to you in a while,
and--

And what, son?

Son?

Well, yes,
I consider you a part of the family.

- Thank you, sir.
- Robbie, you're not--?

I mean, you wouldn't--?
Are you crying?

Well, what in God's name
would reduce you to tears?

And please don't tell me it's Mary.

- It's Mary.
- Get over it.

I tried, but I can't.

"Can't" is not a word
in the Camden dictionary.

You will do whatever you have to do.
And you have to get over Mary,

because you cannot go walking around
crying like a sissy.

- Well, I'm not a sissy.
- You know who says that? Sissies.

Now, you get yourself together.

Get out of there
and find yourself another girl.

And that's an order.

Hi. I didn't think you were gonna be up.

Hi. You know,
if you spent as much time at school

as you do
with that boyfriend of yours,

you would now have
one year of college under your belt,

instead of just a couple of courses.

I know, but I'm not sure that college
is my goal.

Now, what is your goal? Marriage?

Maybe. We're thinking about it.

I think Wilson is a fine young man
and a good father to his son.

And you would be a good wife
and mother,

if that's what you decide you want.

- But?
- But let's say you marry,

and, God forbid,
something happens to Wilson.

Would you be able
to support little Billy?

This is not the first time
you've thought about this, right?

You know,
I think a college education

offers more opportunities
for employment,

but you're not interested in college.

Maybe you should try public service.

Now, public service is a wonderful way
to serve your country

and support your family.

And, my dear,

it's seems very clear that you
are about to have your own family.

So let's not waste any more time

on trying to figure out who we are
and what we want to do.

You are the future Mrs. Wilson West,
mother to Billy West.

Get a job by the end of the week.

But I have a job.
I work at the homeless shelter.

Could you support Billy on what
you earn at the homeless shelter?

Is there a future in that for you?

- Well, no, but--
- No, no, no buts.

Serious relationships
call for serious commitments.

Get a job.

Good night.

What subjects are you taking
this year?

I told you already,
the first week of school.

Well, refresh my memory.

Biology, geometry,
English, Spanish, American history,

PE, which I'm thinking of dropping,

and my favourite, driver's ed,
where I can get my learner's permit.

With parental permission.
And you can just drop PE?

- If I sign up for music.
- You thinking of joining orchestra?

No, I'm thinking of joining a band.
And the head of the Music Department

is thinking of adding a class
for small bands.

Guitars, drums, keyboards,
that sort of thing.

- Didn't know you were that interested.
- I'm that interested.

- In guitar?
- If that's what gets me out of PE.

Well, I hope you're also doing it
because you have an interest in music.

Yeah, I have an interest in music.
Who doesn't?

- I had a band in high school.
- I know. I met them.

No, that was the band I was in
in college. This was another band.

It was more like a skiffle band.
Do you know about skiffle bands?

Because they were all over England
before The Beatles.

It's not a skiffle band.

I could play a tape, if we can find
the old, uh, tape recorder, the big one.

- I could play it for you.
- It's okay.

Maybe we should get the guitars,
see what you know.

I know you know a few chords,
but I haven't heard you play in a while.

This is the first I've heard you
talk about playing in a long time.

And now you see why.

- Why?
- Because, Dad,

playing the guitar
is not some project for the two of us.

It's something that's gonna get me
out of PE. I'm almost 16 now.

I'm a man.

And you and Mom may not wanna
see it, but I am. I'm a man.

- Can we go now?
- You know, maybe you are a man.

Whether I see it or not,
I'm gonna start treating you like a man.

I'm even gonna ask the entire family
to start treating you like a man.

What does that mean?

Well, I guess it means
you should start acting like a man.

Check, please?

Oh, make it two.

Uh, he had the pizza
and the pitcher of Mountain Dew.

I had the small salad and the water.

Don't forget the tip.

I just wanted to say good night.

I don't know why you're here
or how long you plan to stay,

but it is good to see you.

I know it's a little early.

You just woke up from your nap
a couple hours ago.

I'm tired.

Okay. Good night.

You still don't feel like talking?

No, I don't.

Good night.

It's just that I'm having a hard time
accepting it, you know?

She changed my life.
Or knowing her changed my life.

And the better my life gets,
the more I think of her.

Her and Wilson.

I think they're gonna get married.

It's not that I wanna marry her.
At least, I don't wanna marry her now.

But the thought of her marrying Wilson
or anyone, that's killing me.

Besides,
even if I did wanna marry her,

I can't even begin
to compete with that guy.

He graduated from college
this summer. He's got a job,

a real job, and he's a father.
He lured her in with that kid.

Women can't resist single guys
with kids.

Kids are like puppies.

Well, you guys know.

Oh, man,
she's not just gonna be a wife.

She's gonna be somebody's mother.

I can't take it.

Hey, Luce.

Do you wanna talk?

Can I do anything for either of you?

I'll just put Sam and David to bed.

Come on.

Come with me.

Yeah.

Come here.

It's decaf.

Mmm. Decaf.

I thought I noticed a difference.
Why decaf?

I just seem to be a little sensitive
to caffeine.

So I quit drinking it.
I think that's why I'm so tired.

Hmm.

The last time
you were sensitive to caffeine...

Was it when you were pregnant
with the twins?

- No.
- No.

- When was it?
- I don't know.

Is there anything you wanna tell me?

Yeah.

Maybe you should pick up
a second coffeepot

if you want coffee with caffeine
in the morning.

I'm sticking to decaf.

Youch.

Yeah.

Yeah. Youch.

Uh...

So is she...?

Is she what?

Well, it's, um-- Is she--?

- Is Mom gonna have another baby?
- Do you think so?

I don't think so.

- Well, do you know so?
- No.

Well, shouldn't you find out?

Don't you think I'll find out
soon enough?

- What's soon enough?
- Whenever she chooses to tell me.

- Can't you ask her?
- Did you just get home?

Yeah, I just had enough time
to come by and pick up my books.

Wait, didn't Mom tell you?

- You got a job?
- Yeah.

- Where?
- Well, you know the free clinic?

- Which free clinic?
- Is there more than one?

- Would I be asking if there weren't?
- On Sycamore.

I'm the 4-to-12 shift.
Although last night, I worked all night.

We had some emergencies,

and they've been without an orderly
for the last week,

so I did some overtime
and cleaned the place up.

- Isn't that practise mostly--?
- Pregnant women, mostly.

And then other women
with other woman things.

Is that where he should be working
right now?

Who were you talking to?

- God.
- Do you like talking to God?

- Yes, I do.
- Do you talk to him a lot?

Well, yeah.

I think you're gonna be talking to him
a lot more.

Why's that?

I'm not the only one
who's changing around here.

If you could just hold off
on the hormones

for another six months to a year,

I'd be really, really grateful.

[CHUCKLES]

This is a nice surprise.

I never get to see you
during the day.

I just had to tell you.

Had to tell me what?

Well, I was just thinking
about our getting married.

Oh, but I haven't asked you yet.

No, but you're going to ask me.

When you're ready,
when I'm ready.

When we're ready.

But my point is,
I'm going to be ready when you ask.

Is this another one
of your famous wacky plans?

No, this is a serious plan.

Last night,
I was talking to the Colonel,

and he said that if I'm planning
on being your wife and Billy's mother,

then I should start taking myself
seriously.

And he gave me
till the end of the week to get a job.

- A real job.
- But I have a job.

A real job.

You have a real job too.
It's just not 40 hours a week.

Mine's not a real job.
Well, not a job with a future.

So the Colonel suggested
a job in public service.

And I started thinking about that.
And all of a sudden,

I realised what I wanted to do
with the rest of my life.

Besides being Mommy
and Mrs. Wilson West.

And what's that?

A cop.

A cop.

You know, a police officer.

I'm gonna get my own gun
and everything.

And I got in.

They're practically begging women
in this area to join the force.

And I passed the written test.

And I have to go back this afternoon
for the physical part.

But I mean, you know
how athletic I am, and healthy,

so there's, like, not even a chance
that I won't get in.

I know I got into trouble before,
but I already told them about it,

and they said
it's not gonna be a problem.

So I'm gonna be a cop.

- No.
- Yeah, I am.

No, you're not.

But I am.

Don't be ridiculous.

What is ridiculous about it?

Oh, I don't know, um,
that you might get killed.

You could get killed doing anything.

Yeah, but the possibilities increase
when people are shooting at you.

Okay, it's a possibility,
but it's not gonna happen.

Have you told the Colonel
about this? Or your mom or dad?

No, I haven't, but when I do,

I hope that I get more support
from them than I'm getting from you.

A cop.

It's 9:00? It's 9:00. You--

It's 9--

- It's 9:00.
- What's going on?

Why didn't you wake me up?
I missed homeroom.

I missed a class.
I'm missing a second class.

- What's going on?
- That's exactly what I wanna know.

- Why didn't you guys wake me up?
- Well, your father asked me not to.

Well, I just don't think a man

needs his mommy
to tell him when to get up.

A man's responsible for himself.
Your being a man and all, well--

Couldn't you have given me
a little warning?

Couldn't you have given us a little
warning? You just told me last night.

Until you made your announcement,
we've had almost no indication.

So forgive us if it took us by surprise,
and we didn't get a chance to talk,

but I did tell you that we're gonna start
treating you like a man.

You're a man, be a man.
Be responsible.

[DOOR SLAMS]

We fell asleep in here.

- You fell asleep in here.
- Shh.

- You-- You idiot.
- Shh.

You're the idiot.

You're the one who came in here
to talk to me.

You let me cry on your shoulder.
You could have kicked me out.

Not could have, should have.
I'm a dead man.

I'll drive Simon to school
if you keep an eye on the boys.

I don't have time.
You have to stay here.

- So who's gonna take him?
- He can take the bus.

- Did you just say "bus"?
- Yes, the bus.

- The school bus stopped running.
- Yes, but not the public bus.

Stops at the corner
and runs by your school.

The public bus, the transportation
preferred by men without cars.

You can always take your bike.
That would be the transportation

preferred by men
with a concern for the environment.

Why can't you or Mom take me?

Because I have to go to work,
and your mom has things to do here.

Besides, you don't want your mommy
and daddy driving you places.

- Well, I don't wanna take the bus.
- Guess you'll have to walk, then.

Also very manly and good for you,
especially if you're dropping PE,

which, by the way, you can't do
without parental permission.

How's that for changing his attitude?

So you think a few days of that
is actually going to work?

I don't think it'll be a few days.
I think it'll be a few years.

And it'll work.
I'll see to it that it works.

Or I'll come up with something
that does work.

Are they still out there?

Get out there and get this over with.
It's not like we did anything wrong.

You like living here?

ERIC: I really have missed you.
- I...

I'm sorry,
I just can't be there for you right now.

I went to the doctor last week, and...

We're pregnant again, aren't we?

Are we? Uh--

Eric, how can you think that?

Well, you're tired, you're hungry,
you're eating weird.

- So?
- So?

So we're not pregnant.

I'm starting to go through
the change of life.

I'm starting to have hot flashes.

I can't sleep at night. And--

Menopause?

Well, technically,
I'm in perimenopause.

Well, that's great.

Okay, get ready.

Thank you, Jesus.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[IN UNISON]
I want a word with you.

- Did you tell Mary she--?
- Ought to become a policewoman?

[IN UNISON]
This is all your fault.

Could I come in, sir?

This is a very bad idea.

She said that you told her to get a job
in public service.

Well, I thought she'd get on
at the post office.

I didn't know
she wanted to do something

that required her to carry a gun.
I was a Marine.

I know, sir. That's why I think she
thought that it wouldn't be a problem.

That you might even like the idea

of her having a job
where she carries a gun.

Well, that's ridiculous.
Mary should never have a gun.

- She's too--
- I agree. She's--

I agree.
You've gotta talk her out of this.

But I can't talk her out of this.
That's why I'm talking to you.

I thought maybe you
could talk her out of this.

Oh, is that how you plan
to handle your wife?

You gust hand the problem
over to her family

and let them figure it out?

You have to admit, it's a fine family
to hand problems over to.

And if I'm marrying Mary,
I'm marrying the Camdens.

Are you marrying Mary?

Well, we're talking about it.
I don't think we're ready.

Or, at least, I don't think I'm ready.

If you break her heart,
I will break your head.

I'm sure.

Well, I hope you're happy.

Someone at the Police Department
didn't do all the math.

- What math?
MARY: It seems you have to be 21

when you graduate
the police academy. Not 20, 21.

Didn't they tell you that
to begin with?

Well, yeah.

Okay, okay, it was me.
I didn't do the math.

But there are other things
that I can do.

For example, I can be a fireman.
I mean, firewoman.

A fireperson, whatever.
I can do something.

I just have to make my mind up.

And I have to meet
the age requirement.

- Didn't she used to be smarter?
- She's smart. She's just unfocused.

And she's sweet and kind
and beautiful.

And she's got all these wacky plans.
And I love her.

Well, you've gotta get her
to focus on something for herself,

just for herself,
outside you and Billy.

- Yes, sir.
- Otherwise, when you hit middle age,

your life will become a fiery inferno.

Uh...

Oh, nothing.
I was talking to Eric earlier.

- Really, I don't mind doing this myself.
- I don't mind helping.

No, it's just that, uh...

What?

What are you thinking?

It's okay.

You know, I'm here for you.
We're in this together.

I'll tell you what I'm thinking.

First of all, we're not in this one
together. I'm in this one alone.

Inasmuch as this is about me,
my body, mind and spirit.

I need to be by myself more,

whether that's in the kitchen
or in the bedroom.

So secondly,
I may not wanna be as intimate

as frequently as we have been
in the past.

And I don't want to be pressured.

Okay. Have I ever pressured you
to be intimate?

When you said you missed me
the other night, that was pressure.

It was pressure to talk to me.

Hey, I'm the original
"your body, yourself" husband.

Aren't I?

Are you, uh, maybe gonna consider
taking hormones or something?

Do you know anything
about hormones?

I really don't know if I do or not.

- I've read about them and--
- Well, I'll let you know.

Okey-dokey.

And why don't you finish up here
and take your time?

Okay.

The cycle of life, ain't it grand?

Listening in
on a private conversation?

But you don't want everything
to change all at once, do you?

Very funny.

Have you seen Robbie?

Go upstairs. And all the way upstairs,
and take your ears with you.

And finish your homework
if you have any.

And then get ready for bed.

- Sit down. Let's talk.
- I don't wanna talk.

Well, maybe you can listen,
because I wanna talk.

Now, sit down.

I don't know what happened
in New York,

but I know
you now seem to be on the rebound.

And I do not want you rebounding
with Robbie,

whom we've come to treat
as a member of this family.

Am I clear?

Movie starts in ten minutes, Luce.
We'd better get going.

It's just a movie.

Sit down.

Is this about last night again?

Because, again,
we didn't do anything except talk.

We told you that,
and you believe us, right?

Robbie...

Right now you're having a tough time
getting over Mary.

And, Lucy, you're evidently having
a tough time getting over Jeremy.

Or, at least, I would assume
that you've broken things off

with your fiancé.

I'd just suggest that you two
look elsewhere for comfort,

because clinging to each other
may be very convenient,

but it's really not a good idea.

Why is that?

Because you're not really brother
and sister,

so it's really not a good idea.

- I don't get it.
- I don't want you two together.

Got it.

I just picked him up.
He was hitchhiking.

Look, I was just on a dinner break.
I have to get back.

And by the way,

you would never let me get away
with hitchhiking,

especially at his age.

Oh, you know, I almost forgot.

Brought you and Mom
a little something from work.

Yeah, I don't think we'll be needing it,
but thank you.

Thank you and good night.

- Some other time.
- No.

So you're not...?

So she's going through...?

- I'll bring you some brochures.
- Please do.

Okay.

- Hitchhiking?
- It's the form of transportation

preferred by men who hate buses
and are too old to ride their bikes.

How long before you were supposed
to get your learner's permit?

- Four weeks.
- Six weeks.

- Okay, fine, six weeks.
- No, no, no. It was six weeks.

Now it's January.

You won't need driver's ed
until January,

which means that you have time
to take the music class

without having to drop PE.

- Oh, Dad, come on.
- No, Simon, you come on.

Hitchhiking?

Ha, ha. Hitchhiking--

Have you completely lost your mind?

Look, I was with my friends
out for dinner.

- And you didn't call?
- They weren't ready to come home.

- You didn't call?
- I didn't know how to take the bus.

- And you didn't call?
- No.

But even if I had called--

I would have told you
how to get the bus home.

No, not finished. Not nearly finished.
Do you have homework?

- Yes, I have homework.
- Why didn't you come home

after school and do your homework?

I didn't want to. I thought
you were gonna treat me like a man.

A man does his homework
when he wants to.

A man doesn't need to be told
to do his homework.

Doing your homework after school
and before you go out

is a rule in this house.

It's not because
your mother and I like to make rules,

you know,
so that we can be the rulers.

It's because it's a good work habit,

and it's our job to teach you things
like good work habits.

We've helped you get through
nine years of schooling.

- So far, you've done quite well.
- Yeah, I've done really well.

It was me. It wasn't the three of us.
And I'm still gonna do really well

whether I do my homework right when
I come home or whether I stay up late.

Son, heh, heh, your attitude is
exhausting. But just for the record,

it was the three of us
who got you through school.

I mean, you, by no means,
did it without our help.

You wanna be a man? Be a man.

Be responsible.
Get yourself up in the morning.

Clean your room before you go out.

Leave looking like you care
about yourself.

Get yourself to school on time.
Do your homework. Be considerate.

Ask whenever what you're doing
is gonna affect what the family's doing.

Be courteous to everyone.
That includes your mother and me.

Make a contribution to the family

by pitching in
with the work around here.

And always...

You should always do the right thing.

Now, when I see indications
that you're a man

in the ways that I just mentioned,

I will keep my promise,
and let you take driver's ed in January.

I do have a strong heart.

I do. I do.

Talking to God again?

No, this time,
I was talking to myself.

Mom says to tell you
she needs you upstairs.

I think she wants you
to take me shopping for a bra.

Kidding.
I'm not planning on ever wearing a bra.

Kidding?

[CRYING]

I don't know what's going on
with me.

A few minutes ago,
I really didn't care for you at all.

And then, suddenly,
I feel overwhelmed with love for you

and guilty about how I've been acting.
I apologise.

Honey, it's okay.

I want you to know that I do not resent
spending my life at home

being a mother and a wife.

It's where I find joy and purpose
and fulfilment.

It's just that now I get this feeling

that my life is not just about
being a mother and a wife.

It's about not being a mother
and a wife.

It's about being me.

But I don't know who I am.

What did your father want
when he called today?

Oh, it's nothing, really.

Mary's thinking about looking
at a job in public service.

Like what?

Oh, it's one thing one day
and another the next.

Today, it was the Police Department,
but it's not gonna happen.

No, the Colonel's not gonna let that
happen. Neither will Wilson.

Whew. Do you remember
when Mary marrying Robbie

was the worst thing
that could ever happen?

I heard Simon come in.

- He hitchhiked home.
- No.

I moved the learner's permit
to January.

And we thought
Matt's rebellious years

would be the worse thing
we went through with the kids.

[CHUCKLING]

- Oh, just think about Sam and David.
- Yeah.

What are the teenage years
gonna be like with twins?

Probably not as tough
as teenage Ruthie.

Oh, and that's gonna be here
all too soon.

She's already 11.

And a very old 11.

Lucy hasn't been talking to me.
You?

Not yet.

I talked to Lucy and Robbie.

I told them
to stay away from each other.

- You think they will?
- Eventually.

- What's in the paper bag?
- Nothing.

No, it's just something
that Matt brought home from work.

Let me see that.

A home pregnancy kit.

No, he thought that...

Well, he didn't know.

Annie, you're gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be okay.

We don't know that.

All we know
is that everything is going to change.
