- Yeah, I saw her.|- And what happened?.

Just thought you might want|some dry clothes.

- Thanks.|- Yeah.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

I know.

Really, I'm okay.

What happened?.

She said...

that she never wanted me.

She said that my father|made her have me...

and that I was|just a mistake.

I look like her, you know?.

I have her eyes and her hands.

It's her loss, Luce.

It's weird though, you know?.

I don't have a mother.

Well, you have us.

Yeah.

Trying to call your dad?.

I can't.|I will in a minute.

You got that poem|you read me?.

- Yeah.|- Can I see it?.

Yeah, sure.

It's right here.

What are you doing?.

Stop worrying so much.|Come on. I made you something.

Okay.

This is my surprise?.

Wouldn't it be sad if it was?.

Like if I just totally sucked|at cheering people up.

I wrote some music|foryour poem.

Will you play it for me?.

Will you sing?.

Just use this part|as the chorus.

- Yeah.|- Like that?.

Go my way|Like that?.

It feels like I'm caught|in the middle

A little low there.

That's when I realize

I'm not a girl

And not yet a woman

All I need is time

A moment that is mine

While I'm in between

I'm not a girl

Thank you.

It's no trouble at all.

Wait, we're on Melrose--

I thought we were going|to see the Hollywood sign.

Kit, you can|see Dylan tomorrow.

- Kit, come on. Let's go back.|- No.

Don't you guys want|to be alone together?.

I want you with me.|Come on.

- Surprise!|- Honey.

Hi! Oh, baby.

Kit-Kat, I thought we were|gonna make plans tomorrow.

Oh, I know. I just really wanted|to see you. This is my friend, Mimi.

You two know each other?.

Yeah. From school.|Right, Mimi?.

- Right.|- Yeah.

Oh. Well, aren't you gonna|invite us in?.

Yeah, I would, Kitty-Kat, but I've|got this friend here, and he's--

you know, he's really upset,|and we're supposed to, like...

you know,|hang out or whatever.

Do you need money for the pizza?.

- Your friend sounds really upset.|- Wait, Kit, hold on.

- Oh, God.|- Who's she?.

We're supposed to be|getting married.

We're supposed to be|getting married.

I was-- I was gonna tell you,|I just, you know...

didn't want to do it|over the phone.

Dylan, you gave me a ring.

You proposed and gave me a ring!

Kit, I mean,|I'm sorry, you know?.

Oh, my God.

It was Dylan, wasn't it?.

It was you.|You were the guy at Christmas.

- Wasn't it?. It was him, huh?.|- What are you talking about?.

That night when you came over,|you had that rip in your shirt.

- That was the night that he--|- Kit, what is your problem here?.

- Kit, I have to go.|- No, Mimi, come back here.

I want him to admit it.|Admit it!

You're getting all worked up|over nothing, Kitty-Kat.

My name is not Kitty-Kat.|I am not your pet!

Hello?.

- Excuse me, where's the phone?.|- It's right over there.

Yeah, can I make|a collect call, please?.

They said I lost the baby.

"Lost it."

Like it was my keys|or something.

Isn't that the stupidest|damn thing you've ever heard?.

I'd decided to keep her.

I was standing on the beach...

and my toes were|in the Pacific Ocean...

and she kicked.

It was like this sign.

Don't touch me, Luce.|I'm already crying.

Okay.

I would have made a good mom.

Just what were you thinking,|running away...

with a pregnant girl!

Lucy, I'm waiting|for an answer.

Do you know what it took|to come here?.

I had to take cash out of savings|for plane fare and hotel.

I worked hard to earn that money|for your college education.

I'm sorry.

So you made a mistake.|I understand.

Everybody makes mistakes.|You're forgiven.

I'm gonna take you girls back|to where you belong...

and we'll forget about|this whole crazy thing, all right?.

Okay.

Who's that boy you were with?.

How old is he anyway?. Is he the one|who put the crazy idea in your head?.

He just gave us a ride.

That's all.

Hey, sorry it took me so long.|We got a band.

- What are you doing?.|- Packing.

My father says I have|to move to his hotel, so--

Until the audition?.|How are we gonna rehearse?.

I'm not going to the audition.

Look, I have to|go back with him, okay?.

Ben, he's my father, okay?.

I just can't--

And with everything happening|with Mimi, I just think I should go.

- No, I get it.|- Don't be like that.

I get it. It's okay.

It's fine.

Did you see|how fast he went down?.

It's 'cause you threw your body|into that punch, like I taught you.

You did really good.

Hey, come here.

Thankyou.

- I'm sorry.|- It's okay.

It's not your fault.

Got it?.

I can't believe|this trip is over.

I know. God, doesn't it feel like|we left home a million years ago?.

Yeah.

- Hey, y'all, thanks.|- For what?.

For coming on this trip with me.|Thankyou.

Mimi and I were talking...

and we were thinking--

That you need to stay|and go to the audition.

Guys, I can't do that.

- I can't.|- You've got to.

Kit and I voted, and you lost,|so you've got to go.

All right, baby,|ready to head home?.

- I'm coming.|- Ladies...

let's roll.

Come on, let's go.

We tried.

Here you go, buddy.

- Thankyou, sir.|- I'll take that, sweetie.

Good-bye.

It's gonna feel good|to get back home, won't it?.
