I'm gonna need the
car tomorrow night.

18
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:13,183
I got a meeting of Youth
For A Sane Economy.

19
00:01:13,207 --> 00:01:15,852
Still working on that "Miss
A Payment, Go To Prison"

20
00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:17,320
legislation?

21
00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:20,056
Debt happens to be a serious
problem in this country, Dad.

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,124
It's a serious
problem in this home,

23
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:24,227
by the looks of
this bank statement.

24
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:26,229
Elyse, I'm not sure
about something here.

25
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:28,298
What's that?
Unless I'm mistaken,

26
00:01:28,322 --> 00:01:30,800
you gave $50 to
the Mafia last month.

27
00:01:30,824 --> 00:01:32,602
What?

28
00:01:32,626 --> 00:01:33,936
Oh. Oh, no, that's

29
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,173
"Mothers Against
Fluorocarbons in the Atmosphere".

30
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:38,641
I think. You think?

31
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:40,577
I'm sure. But just to be safe,

32
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,013
if a guy named Fast
Eddy calls, hang up.

33
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:46,215
I don't want to tell you guys
how to spend your money,

34
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,017
but I feel this whole
fluorocarbon issue

35
00:01:48,041 --> 00:01:49,419
has been exaggerated.

36
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:53,156
Exaggerated? Fluorocarbons
are ruining our atmosphere.

37
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:54,524
Yeah. Okay, okay,

38
00:01:54,548 --> 00:01:56,459
I admit air is
kind of important.

39
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:58,094
But we're talking
about the convenience

40
00:01:58,118 --> 00:01:59,829
of the American consumer here.

41
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:01,998
What would life be
like without hairspray,

42
00:02:02,022 --> 00:02:04,067
without deodorant,
without bug repellant?

43
00:02:04,091 --> 00:02:05,101
Maybe he has a point.

44
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:06,369
If we didn't have spray paint,

45
00:02:06,393 --> 00:02:09,172
everyone would be
forced to do graffiti by hand.

46
00:02:09,196 --> 00:02:12,142
I'll get it. STEVEN: Get what?

47
00:02:12,166 --> 00:02:13,510
Wasn't that the doorbell?

48
00:02:13,534 --> 00:02:15,145
I didn't hear anything.

49
00:02:15,169 --> 00:02:16,913
Well, I'm expecting
Cindy to come over

50
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:18,615
and I have to know
the minute she gets here

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,782
because we're going to study

52
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,417
and we don't want
to be disturbed.

53
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:23,474
We'll try and resist.

54
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:28,391
Jennifer, don't read
while you're walking.

55
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:31,027
Well, it's nice to
see someone reading

56
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,930
a good, old-fashioned
book around here.

57
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,698
What have you got
there? <i>Charlotte's Web,</i>

58
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:39,435
<i>Winnie-the-Pooh,
Treasure Island?</i>

59
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:42,272
<i>Our Bodies, Ourselves.</i>

60
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:45,208
What's a book like
that doing in this house?

61
00:02:45,232 --> 00:02:46,776
There's nothing
wrong with this, Alex.

62
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,978
It's just a health and
sex manual for women.

63
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,213
It just doesn't seem
right. A bunch of women

64
00:02:51,237 --> 00:02:53,215
writing about stuff that
should only be discussed

65
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:54,639
in a men's locker room.

66
00:02:55,976 --> 00:02:58,287
Lighten up, Alex.

67
00:02:58,311 --> 00:02:59,989
Mom,

68
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:02,892
did I really look like
that when I was born?

69
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:05,561
Red, wrinkled and bald?

70
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:06,863
Kind of.

71
00:03:06,887 --> 00:03:10,566
Boy, I really improved with age.

72
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:14,359
If I keep it up, I
might be gorgeous.

73
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:18,474
What are you doing
with that book?

74
00:03:18,498 --> 00:03:19,675
I don't see a book.

75
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:21,845
You came in my room
when I wasn't there.

76
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:24,714
You started snooping
around. You took it off my desk.

77
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:26,883
I didn't take that
off your desk.

78
00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:29,586
I got it from your top
drawer, under your diary.

79
00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:32,989
Jennifer, you know better
than to go in your sister's desk.

80
00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:36,526
I know. I'm sorry.
But I needed the book.

81
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:39,495
I had a question
about jogging bras.

82
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,965
<i>Our Bodies, Ourselves.</i>

83
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:43,199
Why are you reading that, Mal?

84
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,600
Oh, that?

85
00:03:44,624 --> 00:03:48,071
Uh, Cindy and I are studying
it tonight for health class.

86
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:49,805
But "Pregnancy and Childbirth?"

87
00:03:49,829 --> 00:03:52,242
Just last week, you
were studying dental care.

88
00:03:52,266 --> 00:03:54,411
It's an honors
class. We move fast.

89
00:03:58,372 --> 00:04:00,950
Mallory. Hi, Cindy.

90
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:02,707
We have to talk.

91
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:08,546
Maybe Cindy has dental problems.

92
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:18,201
So, what are the test results?

93
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:19,703
I'm pregnant.

94
00:04:19,727 --> 00:04:22,627
Oh, wow. Pregnant.

95
00:04:24,732 --> 00:04:28,111
I can't believe it. It just
doesn't seem possible.

96
00:04:28,135 --> 00:04:29,679
The woman at the clinic said

97
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:32,023
she wished she had a nickel
every time she heard that.

98
00:04:33,173 --> 00:04:35,685
I don't know what to
do, Mal. I'm scared.

99
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:37,220
Well, what did the doctor say?

100
00:04:37,244 --> 00:04:39,377
"Do you have Blue Cross?"

101
00:04:40,681 --> 00:04:42,458
I'm not sure I'm
ready to be a mother.

102
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:45,194
I mean, you have
to change diapers.

103
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:48,231
You have to pretend to be
the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.

104
00:04:48,255 --> 00:04:49,932
You have to teach
them how to drive.

105
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:52,335
You have to plan their weddings.

106
00:04:52,359 --> 00:04:56,172
Cindy, I think you're getting
a little ahead of yourself.

107
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,274
Can you imagine Fred
Burrows as somebody's father?

108
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,843
I mean, this is the same guy

109
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,911
who took the "Wet Paint"
signs off the bleachers

110
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:04,480
and hid the hamster
in Mrs. Keefer's desk.

111
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:06,449
Maybe he's matured since then.

112
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:09,774
I don't think so. The
hamster thing was last week.

113
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:15,391
I know how hard homework can be.

114
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:17,927
Thought we could use
a snack. No, thanks.

115
00:05:17,951 --> 00:05:19,862
So, what are we
having, girl talk?

116
00:05:19,886 --> 00:05:21,798
More like woman talk.

117
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,588
I'm ready.

118
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:26,269
No, you're not.

119
00:05:26,293 --> 00:05:27,937
Jen, this is really...

120
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:29,305
Never mind. Don't say it.

121
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:31,508
I know when I'm not wanted.

122
00:05:31,532 --> 00:05:33,776
Guess you guys won't
be needing these then.

123
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,335
They're not for
women, they're for girls.

124
00:05:40,874 --> 00:05:42,585
So, what are you
gonna tell your mother?

125
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:45,087
Nothing. I've just decided

126
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:47,256
I'm gonna keep a low profile
for the next nine months.

127
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,891
Good luck.

128
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:50,192
Come on, I can't talk to her.

129
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:52,762
You know how my mother is.

130
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:55,264
Oh, I wish she were
more like your mom.

131
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:57,567
Well, do you wanna
talk to my mom about it?

132
00:05:57,591 --> 00:06:00,169
Maybe. Do you think she'd help?

133
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,604
Can't hurt to try.

134
00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:03,862
Okay, okay.

135
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:09,178
Mom, could you come
up here for a sec, please?

136
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:13,015
Could you help Cindy and
me move some furniture?

137
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,751
Want me to help?

138
00:06:14,775 --> 00:06:18,343
No. This is pretty heavy stuff.

139
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,724
I just can't go home.

140
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:23,692
If my mom finds out about
this, she's gonna kill me.

141
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:27,330
Don't worry. You can
stay here if you have to.

142
00:06:27,354 --> 00:06:28,464
What's going on?

143
00:06:28,488 --> 00:06:30,366
Oh, Mom, Cindy
needs to talk to you.

144
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:31,501
What is it, Cindy?

145
00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:33,903
Well, I don't know
how to say this.

146
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:36,606
She's pregnant. That says it.

147
00:06:36,630 --> 00:06:39,375
Preg...? Oh, Cindy. I'm
so sorry. Are you sure?

148
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,912
I'm positive, and
so was the test.

149
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:44,547
Mrs. Keaton, this
is the worst thing

150
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,115
that's ever happened to me.

151
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:49,318
Oh, honey, you must be
so terrified. Can I help?

152
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:51,154
I don't know.

153
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:53,289
I'm so confused.

154
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:55,825
I don't know whether
to have an abortion,

155
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:58,249
or put the baby up
for adoption, or keep it.

156
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:03,265
Maybe I should just dye my hair,
change my name, move to Kansas

157
00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:05,334
and bring it up
as my kid sister.

158
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:07,537
What do your parents say?

159
00:07:07,561 --> 00:07:10,840
Well, there's really just my
mom and I haven't told her yet.

160
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,609
I just can't face her right now.

161
00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:14,410
Well, you're welcome
to stay here tonight.

162
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,679
I don't know if I could
face her tomorrow.

163
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,147
You can stay here
as long as you want.

164
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:20,149
My mom and I would
love to help you. Right?

165
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:21,651
Well, we would love
to help you, honey,

166
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:23,786
but I don't think staying
here will solve your problem.

167
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:25,488
I think you should
talk to your mother.

168
00:07:25,512 --> 00:07:28,224
Are you kidding? You
don't know my mother.

169
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:31,394
I mean, she doesn't even
let me read<i> Cosmopolitan.</i>

170
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:33,696
Yeah, she can't talk to her.
You know what mothers are like.

171
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,365
Yeah, I've heard. Honey, look,

172
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:39,001
this problem is too big for
you to tackle by yourself.

173
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:41,103
I really think you
should go home.

174
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:44,440
I'd still rather stay here

175
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,776
for eight or nine years.

176
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,678
Mom, she can't go home.

177
00:07:48,702 --> 00:07:51,313
Look, I know it's not gonna
be easy, but she's gotta do it.

178
00:07:51,337 --> 00:07:53,082
Honey, if it were you,
I'd wanna know about it.

179
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:54,116
But, Mom...

180
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,652
Okay, okay, I...

181
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,320
I'll try it your way, but...

182
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:59,255
But, I mean, my
mom's unreasonable.

183
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,580
I mean, she got upset when
she found out the prom was coed.

184
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,999
I thought I heard
someone down here.

185
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:11,567
What are you doing up, Mallory?

186
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:14,137
Oh, I can't sleep. I'm
too worried about Cindy.

187
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:16,206
I just came down
for a little snack.

188
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,208
A little snack?

189
00:08:18,232 --> 00:08:21,277
A turkey sandwich, ice
cream, chocolate cake.

190
00:08:21,301 --> 00:08:25,047
Some countries
don't eat that much.

191
00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:26,749
Okay, I overdid it.

192
00:08:26,773 --> 00:08:28,851
But I'm worried about Cindy.

193
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:30,320
And when I'm worried, I eat.

194
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:32,522
Well, of course, you're
worried about her.

195
00:08:32,546 --> 00:08:34,390
Cindy and her mom are
going through a tough time.

196
00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:36,592
But they'll work it
out. I don't know.

197
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:38,694
Why don't you go upstairs
and get some sleep?

198
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:41,464
I'm sure you'll hear all about
it from Cindy in the morning.

199
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:42,920
Okay.

200
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:46,210
Good night, Mal. Good night.

201
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:52,797
It's for energy. It's
a long walk upstairs.

202
00:08:56,937 --> 00:08:58,882
I can't believe this
thing with Cindy.

203
00:08:58,906 --> 00:09:01,550
I mean, I still think
of her as a little girl

204
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:03,052
that used to play with Mallory.

205
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:04,587
She's not a little girl anymore.

206
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:06,722
I know.

207
00:09:06,746 --> 00:09:09,191
And neither is Mallory.
She's the same age as Cindy.

208
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,393
Yeah?

209
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:12,261
Well, they're in the same class.

210
00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:13,984
They're in the same crowd.

211
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:16,666
I'm worried about her.

212
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,168
Look, Cindy and Mallory
are two different people.

213
00:09:19,192 --> 00:09:22,138
Okay. Maybe I'm overreacting,

214
00:09:22,162 --> 00:09:24,406
but I don't think Mallory should
be allowed out of the house

215
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:26,876
until she's 35.

216
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,311
Steven.

217
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:30,313
Okay.

218
00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:32,348
Thirty.

219
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:35,885
Kids are growing up too fast.
Half the teenagers in America

220
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:37,820
are sexually active today.

221
00:09:37,844 --> 00:09:40,004
I mean, what's going
on with these kids today?

222
00:09:41,348 --> 00:09:43,259
Wait a minute.

223
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:46,162
Do I sound like Alex?

224
00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:48,264
Yes, Steven.

225
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:52,668
Look, in the '60s, when all these
changes were coming about?

226
00:09:52,692 --> 00:09:55,438
The new honesty
between men and women,

227
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:57,773
a healthy open
attitude toward sex?

228
00:09:57,797 --> 00:09:58,907
I thought they were positive.

229
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:00,876
I still believe that.

230
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,246
But now that I have a
15-year-old daughter,

231
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:05,214
some of those beliefs are...

232
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:06,649
Out the window?

233
00:10:06,673 --> 00:10:07,805
On the ledge.

234
00:10:09,208 --> 00:10:10,686
But you wouldn't
want things to go back

235
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:12,554
to the way they were when
we were kids, would you?

236
00:10:12,578 --> 00:10:14,056
It was terrible.

237
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,091
Boys trying to get reputations,

238
00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:18,227
girls trying not
to get reputations.

239
00:10:18,251 --> 00:10:20,997
Just who were the boys
getting reputations with?

240
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:23,288
At my school, it
was Betsy Hogan.

241
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:26,268
I heard of her.

242
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,403
Okay, you're right.

243
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:30,472
Things weren't fair back then,

244
00:10:30,496 --> 00:10:32,675
but at least there
were guidelines.

245
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:34,877
Oh, we were ignorant and scared.

246
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:36,646
Don't you think
it's a good thing

247
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:38,381
that kids know more
about sex today?

248
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:40,249
Well, sure. I want
Mallory to know more,

249
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,153
I just don't want
her to do more.

250
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:45,755
We have a great
relationship with Mallory.

251
00:10:45,779 --> 00:10:49,047
All we have to do is keep the
lines of communication open.

252
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:52,295
I still can't sleep. Oh.

253
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:54,830
You've been gone a
minute. Did you try?

254
00:10:54,854 --> 00:10:56,999
I didn't actually get into bed.

255
00:10:57,023 --> 00:11:00,235
Well, sometimes that can help.

256
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:02,838
I'm just too worried
about Cindy.

257
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:04,707
You sure you're not just hungry?

258
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:06,108
Positive.

259
00:11:06,132 --> 00:11:08,144
You know, I think I'll call her.

260
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,812
Mallory, it's
pretty late to call.

261
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:12,648
I'm sure they're not getting
much sleep at their house.

262
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,971
Why don't you go ahead, Mal?

263
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:21,190
Hello, Mrs. Sullivan?
Hi, this is Mallory.

264
00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:22,557
Hey, I'm sorry to
call you so late,

265
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:24,501
but could I please
talk to Cindy?

266
00:11:26,385 --> 00:11:27,396
What?

267
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:29,098
No, I don't.

268
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:31,789
Yes, of course, I will.

269
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:34,770
Goodbye.

270
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:35,905
What's wrong?

271
00:11:35,929 --> 00:11:37,874
Everything.

272
00:11:37,898 --> 00:11:39,375
Cindy and her
mom got in a fight,

273
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,410
and she ran out of the house.
She's been gone for hours

274
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:42,879
and her mom doesn't
know where she is.

275
00:11:42,903 --> 00:11:44,080
That's terrible.

276
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:45,948
Of course. And it's your fault.

277
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:47,449
My fault? Wait a minute.

278
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:49,585
Don't blame your
mother. Why not?

279
00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:51,787
She's the one that suggested
Cindy go talk to her mom.

280
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:53,823
We told you her mother
wouldn't understand.

281
00:11:53,847 --> 00:11:55,324
And if you hadn't
butted in like that,

282
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:56,726
we might know
where Cindy is now.

283
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:59,095
Look, I didn't butt in.
Cindy asked me to help.

284
00:11:59,119 --> 00:12:00,963
And I only did what
I knew to be right.

285
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,632
You did, huh? Did you listen

286
00:12:02,656 --> 00:12:04,734
when we said she couldn't
talk to her mother? No.

287
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:07,069
Did you let her stay here? No.

288
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:09,539
Well, I'll tell you one thing,
when I grow up and have kids,

289
00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:10,843
I'm not gonna act like a mother.

290
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:19,916
She's got blond
hair. She's about 5'3".

291
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:22,418
Yeah, that could be her.

292
00:12:22,442 --> 00:12:25,821
No, no, I don't think she'd be
wearing a mask and flippers.

293
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:29,091
No, no, thanks anyway. Goodbye.

294
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:31,427
Well, she's not at the library.

295
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:35,898
Let's see, we've tried the
YWCA. We've tried the airport.

296
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:38,067
We've tried the bus depot.

297
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,201
I guess there's nothing left

298
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,585
but the old run-down
bars and nightclubs.

299
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:45,808
Well, that's where girls like
Cindy wind up, don't they?

300
00:12:45,832 --> 00:12:47,977
Smiling their painted smiles,

301
00:12:48,001 --> 00:12:50,513
swaying to the sound
of a honky-tonk piano

302
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:53,182
while some Joe
pours out his life story

303
00:12:53,206 --> 00:12:55,718
over a cup of cheap whiskey.

304
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:59,355
That's it. No more
late movies for you.

305
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:02,058
Just a minute, Alex. What do
you mean, "girls like Cindy"?

306
00:13:02,082 --> 00:13:03,726
She happens to
be a very nice girl.

307
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:06,128
She comes over here for
a little advice and support,

308
00:13:06,152 --> 00:13:09,064
and now she's missing
through no fault of her own.

309
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:11,867
Look, Mallory, I know
you blame me for this,

310
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:14,303
but can't you see that
she had to tell her mother?

311
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:16,405
Well, fine. Couldn't she
have told her gradually?

312
00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:17,673
Gradually?

313
00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:20,609
Yeah. Like starting
out with something like:

314
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:22,800
"Mom, I met a boy."

315
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,315
Daddy, can I go to the
movies with Chrissy?

316
00:13:26,339 --> 00:13:28,384
They're showing an
old movie at the Village.

317
00:13:28,408 --> 00:13:31,153
I think it's called
<i>Bye Bye Birdie.</i>

318
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:33,255
But you went to the
movies the other night.

319
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,725
Please, Daddy, I
love little birdies.

320
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:38,494
I don't think you should go.

321
00:13:38,518 --> 00:13:39,895
I don't think that a girl

322
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:41,864
should try and hide her
pregnancy from her mother.

323
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:43,031
Wait, wait a minute.

324
00:13:43,055 --> 00:13:45,334
Can we not discuss
this in the kitchen?

325
00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:47,703
I mean, sex is not something
you should talk about

326
00:13:47,727 --> 00:13:50,940
in front of a
wholesome breakfast.

327
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:53,975
Alex, I find your
attitude a little disturbing.

328
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:56,345
I mean, your father and I
don't want you or your sisters

329
00:13:56,369 --> 00:13:57,946
to feel that you
can't talk honestly

330
00:13:57,970 --> 00:13:59,448
and openly about sex with us.

331
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:01,617
Oh, boy.

332
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:04,520
So, Jennifer, you don't
wanna miss that movie.

333
00:14:04,544 --> 00:14:06,989
Uh, you need some popcorn money?

334
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:10,681
I'd rather stay here and talk
openly and honestly about sex.

335
00:14:12,051 --> 00:14:16,131
Popcorn, bonbons,
chocolate bars?

336
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:18,867
Throw in the jujubes
and I'm out the door.

337
00:14:18,891 --> 00:14:21,604
You got it.

338
00:14:21,628 --> 00:14:24,006
I just don't know what you're
making such a big deal about.

339
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:27,876
Sex is a biological process
brought on by emotional urges.

340
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,568
Sex is nothing to
get excited about.

341
00:14:31,938 --> 00:14:34,516
Uh, I mean, sex
is nothing special.

342
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:36,785
Yeah, Alex, if it's
nothing special,

343
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:38,120
why do you keep hiding<i> Playboy</i>

344
00:14:38,144 --> 00:14:39,855
behind your copies
of<i> BusinessWeek?</i>

345
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,690
I don't... I don't hide them.

346
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:43,025
I keep them alphabetically.

347
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:45,550
And<i> BusinessWeek</i>
comes before<i> Playboy.</i>

348
00:14:47,454 --> 00:14:50,633
I can't just sit around here
and worry about Cindy anymore.

349
00:14:50,657 --> 00:14:53,268
Let's go look for her. Yeah,
maybe she's at the park.

350
00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:54,704
Maybe she's at the playground.

351
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:55,971
Let's get our coats and go.

352
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:57,439
Alex, stay here
in case she calls.

353
00:14:57,463 --> 00:14:59,030
You got it.

354
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,623
Hello, Sergeant Samuels?

355
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,759
Yeah, this is Alex P. Keaton.

356
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:20,184
You probably remember me.
I was junior mayor for a week.

357
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:22,964
I don't know.

358
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:26,391
I thought meter maids on
horseback was a good idea.

359
00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:31,307
Well, get taller meters.

360
00:15:31,331 --> 00:15:34,898
Anyway, I'm looking
for a 15-year-old girl.

361
00:15:39,572 --> 00:15:43,140
That's very funny.
She's pregnant.

362
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:47,144
Marry her? I hardly
even know her.

363
00:15:49,816 --> 00:15:52,150
Never mind, I think I
know where to find her.

364
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,863
Hi, Cindy. Hi.

365
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:57,766
Excuse me for a minute.

366
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,256
Hey, she's here!

367
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,961
So, uh, what's new?

368
00:16:05,865 --> 00:16:07,710
Should I boil some water?

369
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:09,745
Cindy, are you okay?

370
00:16:09,769 --> 00:16:11,113
Yeah, I'm okay.

371
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:13,282
Still pregnant. But
other than that, I'm fine.

372
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:17,619
We have called all over
town looking for you.

373
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,321
Well, where have
you been anyway?

374
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,023
I walked around the mall.

375
00:16:21,047 --> 00:16:23,292
I sat through<i> Annie</i>
two and a half times.

376
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:24,994
Then I ended up in
the pinball arcade.

377
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:27,330
Your mother's very worried.
I think you should call her.

378
00:16:27,354 --> 00:16:29,264
Why should I call
her? She'll just yell.

379
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:30,499
You don't know that.

380
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:32,601
Look, you can't blame
her for being angry

381
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:33,869
and upset when you told her,

382
00:16:33,893 --> 00:16:36,071
but she's had time
to think about it.

383
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:37,906
Yeah, time to get even madder.

384
00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:39,475
And time to calm down too.

385
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:42,644
Look, I think the two of you
need another chance, don't you?

386
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:46,115
I'm not sure.

387
00:16:46,139 --> 00:16:48,317
But I know I can't
face her alone.

388
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,852
Well, if it'll help, I mean,
if it'll make it any easier,

389
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:52,955
maybe you can ask
her to come over here.

390
00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:55,157
Will you and Mallory
be here with me?

391
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:56,258
Sure.

392
00:16:56,282 --> 00:16:58,182
Dad and I will be here too.

393
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:02,220
Of course, we're
flexible on this point.

394
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:09,604
Cindy, does your
mom drink coffee?

395
00:17:09,628 --> 00:17:11,073
Yeah, I guess.

396
00:17:11,097 --> 00:17:12,907
Well, maybe that'll
make her too nervous.

397
00:17:12,931 --> 00:17:14,210
Does she drink tea?

398
00:17:14,234 --> 00:17:16,211
I think she likes herb tea.
Do you guys have any?

399
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:18,536
Are you kidding?
What's her favorite herb?

400
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:20,883
Ask her when she gets here.

401
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:23,585
Honey, just sit down
and relax. I can't.

402
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:25,720
I know the minute that she
walks in, she's gonna go:

403
00:17:25,744 --> 00:17:27,556
"Cindy, how can
you do this to me?"

404
00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:29,324
Give her a chance, okay?

405
00:17:29,348 --> 00:17:31,393
Don't answer that.

406
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:32,917
Okay, go ahead.

407
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:37,800
Hi. I'm Elyse Keaton.

408
00:17:37,824 --> 00:17:38,834
Lynn Sullivan.

409
00:17:38,858 --> 00:17:40,335
Please come in.

410
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,504
I'm sorry we couldn't meet
under better circumstances.

411
00:17:42,528 --> 00:17:44,673
Hello, Mallory.

412
00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:47,931
Cindy, I'm so glad
you're all right.

413
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:51,468
How could you do this to me?

414
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:54,683
Cindy, we're going home.

415
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,318
No, Mom. You said on the phone

416
00:17:56,342 --> 00:17:58,843
that you were gonna come
over here and we were gonna talk.

417
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:03,325
All right.

418
00:18:03,349 --> 00:18:04,894
We'll talk.

419
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:08,252
Please. Sit down, sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.

420
00:18:14,861 --> 00:18:17,694
Um, so, Mrs. Sullivan,
what's your favorite herb?

421
00:18:19,532 --> 00:18:21,110
Would you like some herbal tea?

422
00:18:21,134 --> 00:18:23,045
No, thank you. We
won't be staying long.

423
00:18:23,069 --> 00:18:25,589
I've already said all that I
have to say to my daughter.

424
00:18:26,806 --> 00:18:28,317
She's already said
she was pregnant

425
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:29,785
and now it's my problem, right?

426
00:18:29,809 --> 00:18:32,410
Well, actually, I
think it's both of yours.

427
00:18:34,514 --> 00:18:37,247
How long has she been
going out with this boy, anyway?

428
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:40,696
I... I don't know.

429
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,597
Mom, why don't you ask me

430
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:44,066
how long I've been
going out with him?

431
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:46,401
Apparently, one night too long.

432
00:18:46,425 --> 00:18:47,937
Do you see what I
mean, Mrs. Keaton?

433
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:50,873
We're not getting anywhere
here. She's not listening to me.

434
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:52,241
Can you talk to your daughter?

435
00:18:52,265 --> 00:18:55,477
Well, we try. We have
our occasional differences.

436
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:57,278
But we talk. You know,

437
00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:58,680
we try to get things
out in the open.

438
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:01,050
Well, Cindy's problem
is out in the open,

439
00:19:01,074 --> 00:19:03,185
that's for sure. But that
doesn't solve anything.

440
00:19:03,209 --> 00:19:05,054
It doesn't change the
fact that she's pregnant,

441
00:19:05,078 --> 00:19:06,522
that she's made a
mess out of her life.

442
00:19:06,546 --> 00:19:08,423
Oh, thanks a lot, Mom.
So, what you're saying is

443
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:11,226
because I've made this
mistake, I've ruined everything?

444
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,962
I have no hope, no
future? My life is over?

445
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,965
♪ Gray skies Are
gonna clear up ♪

446
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,290
♪ Put on a happy face ♪

447
00:19:23,229 --> 00:19:26,275
Is that the best
you guys can do?

448
00:19:26,299 --> 00:19:30,312
Look, Jen, I don't think this
is the time for show tunes.

449
00:19:30,336 --> 00:19:33,649
Let me go out on a limb.
You don't want me here, right?

450
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,217
Well...

451
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:38,475
Well, I'm going to my room.
I'll be down when I'm 18.

452
00:19:40,813 --> 00:19:43,559
Okay. Let's go back.
Where were we?

453
00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:46,462
My mother just said I had
no future and my life was over.

454
00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:48,229
Well, maybe we can go back

455
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:49,831
to before you were
yelling at each other.

456
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,301
We'd have to go back to
when I was in third grade.

457
00:19:52,325 --> 00:19:55,270
Oh, I wish we could. At least
then, things were under control.

458
00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:56,438
I knew what you were doing,

459
00:19:56,462 --> 00:19:57,907
where you were, and
who you were with.

460
00:19:57,931 --> 00:20:01,443
Well, I'm not a little
girl anymore, Mom.

461
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:03,979
I have to have my own life.

462
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:07,883
I can't deal with you hanging
over my shoulder every second,

463
00:20:07,907 --> 00:20:09,818
trying to control
everything that I do.

464
00:20:09,842 --> 00:20:11,453
Well, look what
happens when I don't.

465
00:20:11,477 --> 00:20:14,122
Okay. Well, maybe
I made a mistake.

466
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,792
But maybe if you had
just a little more faith in me

467
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:18,727
and stopped treating
me like such a little girl,

468
00:20:18,751 --> 00:20:21,518
I wouldn't have been in
such a big hurry to grow up.

469
00:20:23,522 --> 00:20:24,867
Cindy, I...

470
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:27,135
I just wanted to make
things better for you.

471
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:29,605
What are you talking about, Mom?

472
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:32,996
Well, when I was a kid, I
made all the wrong decisions.

473
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,078
Really?

474
00:20:36,102 --> 00:20:38,446
Well, I don't think I spent

475
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:40,716
more than two nights
in a row at home.

476
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,473
I wouldn't talk to my parents.

477
00:20:43,643 --> 00:20:44,975
I thought I knew everything.

478
00:20:46,679 --> 00:20:49,290
I got into a lot of trouble.

479
00:20:49,314 --> 00:20:52,328
My life was a mess.

480
00:20:52,352 --> 00:20:54,832
That's what I was
trying to protect you from.

481
00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:58,300
I just didn't want you

482
00:20:58,324 --> 00:21:00,764
to go through
what I went through.

483
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,439
Well, I'm going
through it now, Mom.

484
00:21:04,463 --> 00:21:05,874
And I need you.

485
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:09,978
I need you to listen to me
and I need you to help me.

486
00:21:10,002 --> 00:21:13,036
I'll try. Oh.

487
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:20,021
Come on, Cindy. Let's go home.

488
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:22,658
We've got a lot of talking to do

489
00:21:22,682 --> 00:21:25,394
and decisions to make.

490
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:28,185
Thank you for everything.

491
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,721
Bye, Cindy.

492
00:21:39,532 --> 00:21:41,242
What do you think
Cindy's gonna do?

493
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:42,878
I don't know.

494
00:21:42,902 --> 00:21:45,581
At least she won't be spending
any more nights playing pinball.

495
00:21:45,605 --> 00:21:47,983
No.

496
00:21:48,007 --> 00:21:49,150
Mom?

497
00:21:49,174 --> 00:21:50,719
Yeah?

498
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:54,511
I'm really sorry about the
way I blew up at you last night.

499
00:21:55,681 --> 00:21:58,059
That's okay. You were upset.

500
00:21:58,083 --> 00:21:59,561
You had to let it out at someone

501
00:21:59,585 --> 00:22:02,798
and I think I was just
in the direct line of fire.

502
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:04,566
That's what moms are for, right?

503
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:07,436
Only sometimes.

504
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:10,672
You know, this whole thing
with Cindy has been so...

505
00:22:10,696 --> 00:22:13,508
So painful and difficult.

506
00:22:13,532 --> 00:22:14,943
I so much don't want

507
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:18,480
what happened to Cindy and
her mother to happen to us.

508
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:21,950
So I want you to know that
you can always come to me

509
00:22:21,974 --> 00:22:23,785
and that I'll try to be flexible

510
00:22:23,809 --> 00:22:25,776
and understand
your point of view.

511
00:22:27,212 --> 00:22:28,724
Can I have my own apartment?

512
00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:30,347
Not on your life.

513
00:22:33,652 --> 00:22:35,096
And then what happens?

514
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,766
Well, you get taller
and your hips get bigger,

515
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:40,602
and you suddenly become
much more interested in boys.

516
00:22:40,626 --> 00:22:42,271
Anything else?

517
00:22:42,295 --> 00:22:45,796
Well, you can wear a halter
top and have it mean something.

518
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:51,713
So that's all there
is to puberty, huh?

519
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:53,382
Well, I condensed the
chapter a bit for you,

520
00:22:53,406 --> 00:22:55,550
but that's basically
the way it goes.

521
00:22:55,574 --> 00:22:57,218
Don't you two have
anything better to do

522
00:22:57,242 --> 00:22:58,887
than read that stuff?

523
00:22:58,911 --> 00:23:00,055
You know, Alex,

524
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,191
I think you could learn
a lot from this book.

525
00:23:02,215 --> 00:23:04,393
Ha.

526
00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:08,129
Mallory, could you show
me some of your halter tops?

527
00:23:08,153 --> 00:23:10,620
I don't wanna be
caught unprepared.

528
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:30,941
So that's how that works.
