[SAM AND DAVID BABBLING]

Hey, your breakfast is almost ready.

Oh, I already ate.

- Oh, but I made my special egg dish.
- I know, that's why I already ate.

And that's why Simon left early
for school.

The truth hurts.

Hey, I made eggs.

I could smell them
all the way upstairs.

If I have to prepare breakfast,

shouldn't I choose
what I wanna prepare?

No one wants to eat your eggs.

- That's not true.
- Oh, it's true.

- You know how long you're gonna be?
- No.

I have to go to the church
sometime today.

- Yes?
- So when are you coming home?

I don't know.
I'll be home when I get home.

You can't do better
than that, honey?

No, I can't, sweetie.

Come on, Ruthie.
I don't wanna be late.

Maybe I should take hormones.

Man, you are looking really good.

Since we started running together,

I've been doing so much better
with my training.

I think I'm gonna pass that test
next week.

Oh, yeah, you're gonna nail it.

Well, you know, if I do,
I owe it all to you.

You're a great coach.

You know, I could be
a really great husband too.

You still haven't answered
my question.

Well, it's a big question to answer.

So is that a no?

No, it's...

I just need some more time.

Race you back to the car?

Okay.

Ready, set, go.

Hey.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING]

Okay, let's close our books.

I know we just started reading
Swiss Family Robinson today,

but from the chapters
that you just read,

does anyone wanna tell me
what they think

the moral of this story might be?

Wow.

I think the author is showing us

that even though you may not
be shipwrecked with your family,

that all families have to figure out
a way to get along.

Yes, good.

The author, Johann David Wyss,

is telling us that all relationships
require a lot of work,

patience, tolerance and love.

He wrote this book
to teach his own sons life lessons.

So for homework, I want you
to teach me a lesson, a moral lesson.

I want you all to write a one-page story
about a relationship.

I'm available for help, so don't hesitate
to call me here at school or at home.

- All right?
GIRLS: Okay.

Class dismissed.

GIRL 1: Bye.
GIRL 2: I'll see you later.

GIRL 1:
I have her number, I'll give it to you.

GIRL 2:
Oh, cool.

You seem to know a lot
about people and relationships,

and I have a question.

If two people fight all the time,
they should break up, right?

Well, yes, if two people
are fighting all the time,

then maybe
they shouldn't be together.

- But you're young.
- That's what I think too.

Thanks, Mrs. Camden.

[MAN 1 SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey. I don't think I've ever seen

someone improve so much
in such a short period of time.

Keep up the good work.

How you doing?

A whole lot better
than I was doing last week.

I know. What's your secret?

My boyfriend's
been helping me train.

Boyfriend?

So tonight some of us
are gonna meet up at this pool hall

where firefighters hang out.

- You wanna come?
- I'm meeting my boyfriend for dinner.

Ah, the boyfriend again.

Maybe next time.

Yeah, maybe next time.

[MAN 2 SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Ah, I'll be right back.

Hi, Reverend Camden.

Cheryl, I'm sorry, Matt's not home.

I know. I need to talk to you.

In that case, come on in.

I have to put the boys down for a nap.
Give me a minute?

- Sure, no problem.
- Help yourself to anything in the fridge.

And I'll be back
as soon as I get them to sleep.

Yeah. Okay.

Here we go.

Hi, where's Matt?

He's at class, or work, or...

I'm here to talk to your dad.

How's everything with you?

I'm fine.

Just getting a soda, and now
that I have it, I'm going back upstairs.

Bye.

I'm not fine. I'm horrible
and I need to talk to someone.

Normally, I would talk to Mary,
but I can't talk to her about this and--

When I think about it,
I shouldn't be talking to you either.

But if I don't talk to someone soon,
I'm gonna burst.

Robbie?

Are you two together?

No, we're not together.
We're not anything.

But I think Robbie wants us
to be something.

He tried to kiss me last week.

I thought that we were just friends,
but somewhere along the way,

I guess our signals got crossed.

So are you upset because he tried
to kiss you and you're not interested,

or are you upset because he tried
to kiss you and you are interested?

Robbie and I
can only ever be friends.

There's just too much history
with him and my family and you.

If you know how you feel,
then tell him.

Well, I would,
but he's been avoiding me all week.

I've been avoiding him too.

Stop avoiding him and talk to him.

What?

It's just that I was wondering if you're
here to talk to my dad about Matt.

- I talked to Matt earlier.
- Oh.

I think you should always talk
to the person involved first,

and then talk to them again,
and even again after that.

Maybe you're right. Thanks.

I'll go find Robbie right now.

By the way, for some reason,

my dad's not as objective as a father
as he is as a minister.

Hey, I saw the hottest girl today.

Well, did you talk to her?

I didn't get a chance to.
She disappeared.

I've been looking for her all day.
I think she's new.

Was she blond,
about this tall, with blue eyes?

Yeah.

Is that her?

She's coming this way.

Yeah, I know. She's my girlfriend.

She transferred over
from private school.

So keep your eyes
and your hands off, buddy.

She's your girlfriend.

Hi.

Lynn, this is my friend Simon.

Yeah, I saw you in the hall
this morning.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's getting harder every week
to get the boys to nap.

No problem.

So, what can I do for you?

You can tell Matt
I don't think we should date anymore.

What?

Matt doesn't have time
for a relationship.

It's not fair for me
to be in a relationship

with someone
who doesn't have time for me.

Well, I think those are things that you
should tell Matt when you talk to him.

I've tried talking to him,

and this morning
I tried for the last time.

He refuses to discuss breaking up.

But I think he'll listen to you.

Please help me.
I don't wanna hurt him.

- You want me to hurt him?
- No.

But Matt and I can't go on
the way we are.

I feel like this relationship
is distracting me from studying,

and I can't afford to be distracted.

Maybe I'm like Matt.

I don't want the two of you
to break up.

I thought you'd be happy
I wanted to break up with Matt.

- Why would you think that?
- Well, I know you and Annie

weren't exactly thrilled
when Matt and I started dating,

what with the Robbie and Mary
history and all.

No, that's not true.

We were a little concerned
in the beginning,

but we all love you and we think
you and Matt are terrific together.

And Matt was a little lost last year.

But ever since he started dating you,
he's changed.

He's become more focused
and he's just happy.

I'm a little surprised
that you don't see

that you really have made
his life better.

And anything that makes his life better
makes me and Annie very happy.

Wow, you really feel that way?

Yes, I do.
So does the rest of the family.

It's funny that you came over here
to break up with Matt.

I thought you were here to tell me
that you and Matt were thinking

about getting more serious.

You mean marriage?

We have talked about it.

- Yeah?
- Yes.

And now, after talking to you,

I think maybe I'm going
in the wrong direction.

Maybe Matt and I
should get married.

Yeah. Thanks, Reverend Camden.

- How'd your class go?
- Good.

I think I'm really connecting
with the kids.

You are. Especially Christy Parks.

She told me she likes you a lot.

And she thinks
you're nice and smart.

I have an equestrian class
after school today.

I should get down to the barns.

Then the car pool's dropping you
at home, right?

- Yeah.
- Okay, bye.

- Love you.
- You too.

Oh, I'm so glad I ran into you.

I was going to drop by your office
to thank you again for hiring me.

I love my class and my students,

and I just can't thank you enough
for giving me this opportunity.

Um, did you tell a student
that her parents should get a divorce?

When Christy Parks' mother
picked her up at school today,

she told her mother that you said
her parents should get a divorce.

Her mother's very upset.
She just left my office.

- But I--
- What exactly did you tell Christy?

Hey, how was school?

- I don't wanna talk about it.
- Why?

If I told you, then I'd be talking about it,
and I don't wanna talk about it.

- Maybe I can help.
- I don't want your help, okay?

My teaching is just for me, and I don't
need you to get involved in it.

Something happened at school?

Don't smile at me.
You're my friend's girlfriend.

You're off-limits. You're taken, okay?

So steal me.

So steal you?
What kind of girlfriend are you?

The kind of girlfriend
who is tired of her boyfriend

and looking to find a new boyfriend.

Morris and I were gonna break up,
then I transferred.

- So we decided to stay together.
- I don't want any part of this.

Part of what?

- Nothing.
- Are you doing anything tonight?

- No.
- Lynn and I are going to the pool hall.

- Why don't you come with us?
- You know what? I can't.

You just said
you weren't doing anything.

Well, I hope it's not because of me.

Maybe I make Simon
feel uncomfortable.

You don't make me uncomfortable.

Then you'll go?

Fine. I'll talk to you later.

I like him.

He's a good guy.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- Mary, its Robbie.

Hi. How are you?

It's been a while.

I need to talk to you.

Actually, I'm glad you called.
I need to talk to you too.

Okay, you first.

Wilson asked me to marry him.

Are you still there?

Yeah, I'm here. Did you say yes?

I can't really think of a good reason
not to say yes.

Can you?

Your love life isn't my business
anymore.

But we've known each other
for a long time

and we've been through a lot.

Which is why I really can't be
an objective friend.

This is one decision you're gonna
have to make on your own.

You're right.

- I should go.
- Wait, why did you call?

- Nothing, really.
- Well, it had to be something

or you wouldn't have called
in the middle of the day.

I wanted to know how you would feel
if I dated someone you know.

- Who is it?
- I'd rather not say.

Hey, I don't care if you date
someone I know.

It's not like you wanna date my sister
or something.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, date your sister,
that would be something.

I mean, I'd have to be insane.

That would be idiotic, stupid, crazy.

- And I'm not crazy.
- Yeah, I know.

- I have to go.
- Okay.

Joanne, it's Robbie from class.

I know it's kind of last-minute,
but are you doing anything tonight?

You going somewhere?

I have to go talk
to a student's parents.

Now?

There was an incident
with one of my students today.

- And, no, I don't need your help.
- Okay.

What kind of incident?

One of my students, Christy,
told her parents,

her mother actually,
that I said they should get a divorce.

So her mother called Mrs. MacKoul,

and if all of this doesn't get
straightened out, I could lose my job.

What?

Christy asked me, "When two
people fight, should they break up?"

I thought she was talking about her

or a little boyfriend,
a homework assignment.

I never said-- I would never tell a child
that her parents should get a divorce.

I wouldn't.
I didn't do anything wrong.

Okay, but Christy obviously needed
to tell someone

and it's obviously bothering her.

Thank you, Dr. Freud.

If you'll excuse me, now I'm gonna go
talk to Christy and her parents.

Why are you so upset with me?
I didn't do anything.

You're not supporting me in this.

See, I think I am. I'm trying to help.

Which is code for
"you don't think I can handle this."

But I can handle this,
because I am a teacher

and a mother and a wife.

But you've only been a teacher
for a week.

See? Right there. No support.

I hesitate to bring this up

because we've been fighting
about everything lately, but maybe...

Maybe Christy's mommy
is nutty too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You seem a little upset.

Well, I am.

- About?
- Well, if you must know, it's Cheryl.

Did you have a fight?

No. Well, kind of.

She's not happy
with our relationship

and she keeps bringing up
how unhappy she is.

- She did it again today.
- You know, we love Cheryl.

Your mother and I.

We think that you two
are very good for each other.

Since you started going out with her,

you've been happy
and you've been more focused.

- I hope you see that.
- I see it, but she wants to break up.

You should call her.
Maybe she changed her mind.

Oh, yeah.

And if she talks to you about making
any changes to your relationship--

Like, I mean, big changes.
Like, life-altering changes.

--think, because now might not be
the best time for you to do that.

I've been thinking about this.

I think Cheryl's right,
we should break up.

I've been avoiding it because
everything's working for me now,

even if everything's
not working for her.

I'm being totally selfish.

Well, maybe there's some
compromise to be made.

Oh, compromises have been made.

She's been compromising what she
wants out of life just to be with me.

And I wasn't sure, but you pointed out
how Cheryl's helped me,

and I think she deserves
to have what she wants.

Or in this case, doesn't want.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

What are you doing here?

I thought I could change your mind
about coming to the pool hall.

The guys asked me to come get you.

But I told you that I have a date
with my boyfriend, Wilson.

Relax, I know you have a boyfriend.

We all know you have a boyfriend.

We just wanna treat you
as one of the guys.

And you could be a little nicer,
considering I went to the trouble

to track down your address
and drive here.

Why are you and the guys so anxious
to treat me like one of the guys?

Truthfully, we've gotten a bad
and undeserved rep

for running off female candidates
like you.

Thanks. But one, I'm not sure
I wanna be one of the guys.

And two, why couldn't you just
track down my phone number?

I could have, but I thought begging

would be a little more effective
in person.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?
- Mary, I have to break our date.

I am so sorry, but the boss pushed up
the deadline for this project.

I know I keep cancelling dates on you,
but my job is very important to me.

But you're very important to me too.

You're very, very important to me.

Very, very, very--

Okay, okay, enough.
We'll have dinner another night.

You are the greatest.

Sounds like Wilson
just broke your date.

Look, princess,
I hate to burst your bubble,

but not every guy you meet
wants to date you.

I mean, this is a legitimate
on-behalf-of-the-guys visit.

So are you coming or what?

Sorry.

Well, I could go with you, but...

All right,
I have a confession to make.

I've been having some problems
with the written work, the manual.

And I was gonna get Wilson
to help me out after dinner.

So I should really just stay here
and study.

If you don't pass that test next week,
you're out.

I know, and I really don't wanna
screw up anything else in my life.

So I guess I'll pass.

You want some help?

You don't know where Robbie is,
do you?

I've been running all over town
looking.

I missed him at school, at work,
at the promenade.

What's going on with you two?

Nothing's going on
with Robbie and me.

Now, do you know where he is
or don't you?

- I heard he's out with some girl.
- A date?

He's on a date?

I believe that's what you kids
are calling it these days.

And do you know
where Robbie was taking his date?

An early movie, then Pete's.

A $5 movie and a slice of pizza.

It's amazing he can get a girl
to go out with him.

Especially a girl outside our family.

Is there something wrong?

No. Everything's fine.

Just fine.

But there's nothing going on
between you and Robbie.

[BARKS]

Hey, how was
your equestrian class?

My horse bit the teacher.

- Oh, is she okay?
- The horse or the teacher?

- Both.
- They're okay.

I don't think
my teacher will look away

the next time she feeds my horse
a carrot.

Yeah.

Do you know Christy Parks?

Some of the girls at the barns

were talking about
what happened with Mom.

They were?

Small school, big mouths.

I think I know why Christy didn't exactly
spill her guts to Mom.

You do?

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

Mrs. Camden.

You're the teacher who told
our daughter we should get a divorce?

If I could just talk to Christy,
maybe I could straighten this out.

- I think--
- Christy, go in the house.

You're never gonna talk
to our daughter again.

And if we have anything
to say about it,

you're never gonna teach again.

I think that might be a little severe.

That'll be for the board of directors
of the school to decide.

Are you here to apologise to us?

Not that it will help you,
but you need to apologise to us.

I've been waiting here all afternoon.
If we could just sit down and talk.

If you're not here to apologise,
then this conversation is over.

Goodbye, Mrs. Camden.

CHRISTY:
Mrs. Camden?

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get you in trouble.

I know.

You told us in class
that if we ever had any problems,

we could come and talk to you
and you'd help us if you could.

Other teachers at school
have said that stuff,

but you really seemed like
you meant it.

My parents fight all the time,
ever since I can remember.

Lately, it's gotten a lot worse.

So I thought if another adult told them
to break up,

maybe they would,
and then the fighting would stop.

You really want your parents
to get divorced?

If they're not together,
they can't fight.

I wish there was something
I could do.

Me too. You were my last hope.

And now I don't think there's anything
anyone can do to help me.

- Maybe--
- That's okay.

Thanks for trying, but you better go.

Okay.

So who's the lucky lady tonight?

My friend's girlfriend.

You barely said two words
since you came home

and you hardly touched your dinner.

Well, after talking to Christy's parents,
I sort of lost my appetite.

She told me that
I was her last hope.

Yeah, Ruthie told me
that her parents fight all the time.

You talked to Ruthie?
I asked you to stay out of this.

Well, Ruthie came to me.

Okay, I came to Ruthie.

I asked her, I'm sorry.

Well, I don't know what
Christy's parents are fighting about.

Whatever it is, it can't be
more important than their daughter.

Don't they see how their fighting
is affecting her?

A lot of parents believe that as long as
they're not yelling at their kids,

their kids aren't affected
by their yelling.

They don't understand that
a parent's relationship with each other

affects their children, like,
for the rest of their lives.

If we learn to have
a good relationship from our parents,

we can learn how to have
a bad relationship too.

Thanks.
But of course I know all that.

Which is one of the many reasons
they asked me to teach.

- I'm just trying to be supportive.
- Okay, I can handle this.

- I didn't say you couldn't.
- You've been saying it all day.

You know, you guys fight a lot.

[CHATTERING]

What are you doing here?

I wanted some pizza,
if it's okay with you.

Oh, I'm sorry,
you must be Robbie's date.

- I'm Lucy.
- I'm Joanne.

Are you alone?

Yeah, I'm all alone.

Well, you can join us if you'd like.

I'd like.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?
- Are you okay?

I've been better.

- Is something wrong?
- I've been--

I've been thinking about things.

- "Us" things?
- Yeah, "us" things.

Me too.

- You know, I think we should talk.
- I agree.

Can you meet me now?
I think we should talk face to face.

I have to work, but I can meet you
on the promenade later.

In about an hour.

I'll see you then.

My brain is starting to hurt.
I need a break.

Sure.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you wanna become
a firefighter?

My dad died when I was 10.

I'm sorry.

He was a firefighter.

So you wanna follow
in his footsteps?

No, not exactly.

You see, when my dad died,
the way I saw it, the fire killed him.

And ever since then,
I hated fire for taking my dad away.

So for a guy who hates fire,

being a firefighter seemed like
the way to go.

What about you?

Well, I wanted to work
in public service.

So first I tried to join
the police department,

and they turned me down
because I wasn't old enough.

And then I applied
for the fire department and I got in.

With a little help
from my grandfather.

- Is that who you live with?
- Yeah, my grandparents.

They're away this weekend.

I'm gonna go smoke.

You smoke?

No, but if I did,
would that get you to leave me alone?

No.

I'm just going out for some air.

Robbie dated your sister?

Mary.

Once, he tried to take her
to a motel.

Didn't turn out the way he planned.
Mary punched him and they broke up.

Then the next year,
he came back and told Mary

the motel thing was a big mistake.

He said he was sorry
and that he loved her,

and that he had changed.

Mary believed him and took him back,
and then he asked her to marry him.

Then his ex-girlfriend Cheryl
showed up

and told Mary that she and Robbie
never actually broke up.

So basically, Mr. I'm-a-Changed-Man
was really just a two-timing loser.

Loser.

Mary broke up with him again
and moved to Buffalo.

Now, since Mary left, you'd think
my family would be rid of him.

But one day,
he shows up at our house

asking my dad to marry him
and his ex-girlfriend.

Cheryl?

Robbie and Cheryl were living together
and she was pregnant.

It turned out Cheryl lied about
being pregnant, so they broke up.

What happened to Mary?

Up until a few weeks ago, Robbie was
still trying to get back with her.

He loves her.
He's always gonna love her.

It's kind of an obsessive love.

You know, you look a lot like Mary.

Oh, but I'm sure
that's not why he asked you out.

But your mom and dad let him live
at your house?

Oh, did I forget to tell you
that he used to be homeless?

I have to go.

Really?

Oh, well, you know,
if you have to go, you have to go.

Tell Robbie...

Tell Robbie...

Well, I don't care what you tell him.
Just tell him to stay away from me.

Okay.

You were out here a long time.
Were you hiding?

Just leave me alone.

I like you, and I know you like me.

When Morris takes me home tonight,
I'm gonna tell him the truth.

- The truth about you and me?
- You and me and Morris.

I don't wanna be with him anymore.
That's a fact.

I'm attracted to you. Very attracted.

I'm not sure that matters more
than the fact that he's my friend.

I mean, Morris is a nice guy.

I don't think he'd take it too well if you
broke up with him because of me.

Please, it's not as serious
as you think.

The only reason we got together again
is because I transferred here.

My parents bought a new house.

Should you and I be penalised
for that?

No, but--

I'm usually loyal and trustworthy
and all that stuff,

but I just saw you in that hallway,
and I don't know, Simon,

I felt something for you instantly.

I felt the same way, but...

Morris should hear this from me,
not you.

All right, let me tell him.

Thank you, Simon.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm glad you wanted to meet.

Since this morning,
I've been thinking about you and me.

Me too.

- I think we should break up.
- I think we should get married.

- What'd you say?
- What did you say?

I said we should break up,

and it sounded like you said
we should get married.

But this morning--

Yeah, this morning
you wanted to end our relationship.

- And now you wanna get married?
- I know what I said.

- But then I talked to your father.
- Wait.

You talked to my dad
and he said we should get married?

Well, not exactly.

Well, I talked to my dad too.

And I thought he agreed with me
that we should break up.

Not that our relationship
has anything to do with my father.

It's my fault.

When I couldn't get you to listen to me,
I went to your father.

Do you really wanna break up?

- This morning--
- I don't wanna break up.

But you're right,
I don't have any time for a relationship.

And that's not gonna change
any time soon.

So if we stay together,

you give me what I need
but I don't give you what you need or...

Or what you deserve,
and that's not a relationship.

That's just me being selfish.

Do you really wanna get married?

Yes and no.

I thought if we got married,
then we'd be together more.

But getting married would mean
I would be a lonely wife

instead of a lonely girlfriend.

So we agree.

Yeah, I think we do.

It's over.

For now.

We'll keep the door open?

Absolutely.

Can I kiss you goodbye?

I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

Do we fight a lot?

Uh, maybe. I don't know.

You don't know if we fight a lot?

I don't know what answer
won't cause a fight.

Maybe I need to find a better way
to communicate with you.

And maybe if I take hormones,
everything will go back to normal.

- I didn't say that.
- But you wanted to.

No, I didn't. I want you to do
whatever you need to do.

And I want us to stop fighting.

But we've always had fights.
And we're always going to fight.

Then maybe we need
to find ways to fight

that are more productive
and friendly.

You're right.

And you were right to try to tell me
what to do about the school situation.

I honestly was just trying to help.

But I don't always want your help.

I wanna solve my problems
by myself.

We're a team. A good team.

We've always worked together,

and our relationship
has always been the better for it.

But lately, I feel the need
to have some things that are just mine.

- Okay.
- Really?

You'll stay out of this school thing?

Yeah, if that's what you want.

It's what I want.

And I'm going to try to be nicer.

And I'm gonna try to be
more considerate of your feelings.

I do love you.

I love you too.

I guess we just need
to show it more, huh?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Christy.

After you left, my mom and dad
started fighting again,

and I just can't take it anymore.

I can't go back home.

So, please, can I stay here?

[MOUTHS]
Help.

- You want me to stay?
- No, it's okay.

[LINE RINGS]

MRS. PARKS:
Hello?

Hello, Mrs. Parks,
it's me, Annie Camden.

I can't talk now, Mrs. Camden.
Christy's missing.

- She ran away.
- I know, she's here.

Please, before you say anything,
just hear me out.

I don't know what's going on
at your house,

why you and your husband are
fighting all the time, and what about.

And frankly,
it's none of my business.

Christy talked to me today at school

about two people
who were fighting all the time.

I thought she was talking about her
and a boy she liked.

I had no idea she was talking
about you and your husband.

And I never told Christy that you and
your husband should get a divorce.

This whole divorce thing
is a big misunderstanding.

I hope you and your husband
can work out

whatever problems you're having.

If you need a recommendation
for a counsellor or group therapy,

my husband is the minister
at the Glenoak Community Church.

He'd be happy to help you,
if that's what you think you need.

Both of us would be more than happy
to help in any way possible.

You know, all you have to do is ask.

We both talked to Christy.

She's sorry she ran away
and she's ready to come home.

Are you still there?

Oh, yeah, I'm here.

Good, because on a more personal
note, I would like to thank you.

For what?

For helping my husband and me see
that we have been fighting too much.

I guess it happens to all couples
at one point or another.

You know, things change.

You get upset,
add some stress, bad feelings,

a lack of communication,
and the next thing you know,

you're hurting the person
closest to you.

Forgetting that the other people
close to you, your kids,

are getting hurt too.

My husband and I never saw
the effect

that our fighting
was having on our kids.

That is, until your Christy
showed up.

I guess my husband and I
have always fought.

Lately, we've been going through--

Once again, you don't have to tell me.
It's none of my business.

Thank you, Mrs. Camden.

Christy is lucky to have you
as a teacher.

Considering everything that's happened,
that's very sweet of you to say.

I'm just so embarrassed
by all of this.

Hey, if my kids
were telling complete strangers

about my husband and how much
we've been fighting lately,

I'd be more than
a little embarrassed myself.

So don't worry, it's okay.

I'll call Mrs. MacKoul in the morning.

And my husband will be by
to pick up Christy.

Thank you for your help
and understanding.

Oh. No, thank you.

That was your mother.
She's sending your dad to get you.

Promise the next time
you wanna come over and see me,

you'll tell your parents first.

Yeah.

I think your parents
are trying really hard to get along.

But like we talked about earlier,

you may need to give them
time to work out

whatever it is they need
to work out, okay?

- I feel better. Thanks.
- Good.

I'm glad talking to Eric and me helped
you feel better about everything.

Yeah, talking to you guys was okay,

but what really helped
was talking to Ruthie.

I told her that you and Dad
fight a lot.

So my parents aren't the only parents
who don't get along that well.

I mean, I thought your life at home
was perfect.

And Ruthie told me
it wasn't even close to perfect.

So you talked to Cheryl, huh?

Did you talk to Cheryl?

And are you two...?

We're breaking up.

I mean, I love her,
but at some point,

love alone doesn't make
a relationship work.

How exactly did you get involved
in my love life?

Actually, your love life came to me.

And then I went to you,
and the rest is history.

Are you okay?

As okay as I can be, I guess.

If you wanna talk...

I think you've done enough talking
for tonight.

I think you're right.

Good night.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- It's Simon.

How did it go with Morris?

I told him everything.

What do you mean?

Well, I told him you came on to me
at school and the pool hall.

And I said that
since he was my friend,

I thought he should know
what his girlfriend was doing.

Well, that pretty much guarantees
we're never gonna get together.

I'm okay with that.

But you kissed me.

Yeah, I kissed you,
and I like kissing you.

But for me, it's more important to be
Morris' friend than your boyfriend.

Sorry.

- That's my other line.
- It's probably Morris.

I'll let you go.
You two have a lot to talk about.

Hey, wait a minute.
You owe me an explanation.

I thought you cared about me.
I guess I was wrong.

You know,
I'm sorry for ruining your date.

I went out with Joanne
because I do care about you.

Don't you get it?

I know we can't be together.

After last week,
I figured if I avoided you,

I'd get you off my mind.

That didn't work.

I called Mary. I thought if she
was okay with us being together,

then everyone else would be too.

You told Mary about us?

No. After talking to her, I knew
she wouldn't be okay with us dating.

So I called Joanne
and asked her out.

I thought if I just started dating
someone, anyone,

it would make me forget about you.

Did it work?

No, it didn't.

No matter what I do,
I can't get you off my mind.

I'm not so sure
I want you off my mind.

Are you gonna kiss me?

Would you stop me if I did?

I don't think so.

[SIGHS]

Oh, it's late.
You should probably go.

- Thanks for helping me tonight.
- I had fun.

As much fun as you can have
studying.

Can you hand me my jacket?

Ow! That hurt.

Well, good.

Sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, Mary, the door was open,
so I just...

...thought I'd come in.

I was gonna surprise you
with a late-night pizza.

But I guess I'm the one
who got surprised, huh?

We-- We already ate.
