WENDY SAID YES.

I SAID THAT I COULDN'T,

I'LL PUT ON

MY SHOES AND GO.

( loud barking )

( barking continues )

UNH! OH!

IS SOMEONE CHASING YOU, HONEY?

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TALK?

( giggling )

OKAY, TAKE CARE.

OH -- WATCH

( car alarm chirps )

( car starts )

( door opens )

Katherine:

HONEY, WOULD YOU

START THE WATER AGAIN?

I'M ON THE PHONE.

OKAY.

Katherine:

THANKS FOR GOING.

NO PROBLEM.

MOM, I WANT TO

GO OUT ON THAT DATE.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

YOU'RE JUST GONNA

HAVE TO TRUS THAT I KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

MOM, YOU'RE ALWAYS

SAYING THAT I'M SMART.

AND I AM SMART --

I'M AS SMAR AS ANY SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD.

PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME

THAT I LOOK LIKE I'M SIXTEEN.

BUT, HONEY, YOU'RE NOT.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU THINK

THAT TWO YEARS IS

A REALLY LONG TIME,

BUT YOU NEED IT.

YOU NEED I TO LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF.

I WISH I HAD:

TAKEN THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, MOM,

DATING DOES NO NECESSARILY MEAN

GETTING PREGNANT.

( sighs )

NO, IT DOESN'T.

BUT IT-IT DOES MEAN

A WHOLE SET OF PROBLEMS

THAT YOU ARE NO EMOTIONALLY READY

TO HANDLE.

HONEY, I WAS FOURTEEN ONCE, TOO.

I WANTED IT ALL,

I WANTED IT REALLY FAST...

LISA, I WILL NEVER,

EVER REGRET HAVING YOU.

BUT I DO REGRE NOT TAKING MORE TIME

BEFORE I MOVED:

INTO AN ADULT WORLD.

I'M NOT GONNA

LET YOU MAKE THAT MISTAKE.

I WON'T ALLOW IT.

YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR.

YOU'VE ALWAYS SAID

THAT I HAVE A SAY

IN EVERYTHING.

WHY DON'T I HAVE

A SAY IN THIS?

YOU'RE HAVING A SAY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE'RE DISCUSSING IT.

IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA

TURN OUT IN YOUR FAVOR.

HONEY...

YOU'RE FOURTEEN.

DON'T WISH YOUR LIFE AWAY.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

PLENTY OF TIME:

TO EXPERIENCE:

EVERYTHING YOU WANT,

I PROMISE.

( sighs )

CAN WE EAT?

( sighs )

( Love Machine

EARTH TO LISA.

OH, GOD,

THAT WAS AWFUL.

YOU LOOKED LIKE:

YOU WERE HAVING FUN.

FUN? DO YOU KNOW

WHAT IT'S LIKE

HAVING TO WATCH:

EVERY WORD YOU SAY

SO YOU DON'T SOUND

LIKE A TOTAL GEEK?

AND IN THE MIDDLE

OF A SENTENCE:

TRYING TO REMEMBER IF

YOU PUT ON LIP GLOSS OR NOT?

I'M A NERVOUS WRECK.

WHERE'S HE

TAKING YOU?

TO THE MOVIES.

LISA, WE ARE GOING TO BE

SITTING IN THE DARK

FOR TWO HOURS.

WHAT IF HE TRIES SOMETHING?

HIS REPUTATION --

SO DON'T GO.

BUT I WANT TO GO.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO

WITHOUT YOU.

COME ON, DON'T YOU

WANT TO GO OUT WITH ERIC?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HE'S GORGEOUS.

NOT COMPARED TO THE GUY

I MET LAST NIGHT.

WHAT GUY?

WENDY --

LAST NIGHT I ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN

YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.

"MET"? OR "SAW"?

MET. WE HAD A CONVERSATION.

HE THOUGHT I WAS SIXTEEN.

REALLY? WHAT'S HIS NAME?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I GO HIS LICENSE PLATE NUMBER,

SO I CAN ALWAYS:

GET HIS NAME.

AND THEN WHAT?

WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE WE'LL FALL IN LOVE.

( phone rings )

( ring )

( ringing )

( ringing )

HELLO?

HELLO?

IS THIS RICK?

YES.

HI, GUY.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M FINE.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

YOU DON'T REMEMBER

WHO I AM, DO YOU?

I'M NOT SURE.

WHAT? THERE ARE

SO MANY WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE

THAT YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ME?

TALK SOME MORE.

( stifles a giggle )

( dogs barking in distance )

Man:
ALISON!

ALISON?

( banging on door )

ALISON, ARE YOU IN THERE?

SAY, UH, EXCUSE ME.

DO YOU LIVE ON THIS STREET?

NOT FAR. WHY?

DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW

THE LADY WHO LIVES HERE,

HER NAME'S ALISON?

NO, I'M SORRY, I DON'T.

( sultry voice:
)

NO, THAT'S NO WHERE I KNOW YOU FROM.

GUESS AGAIN.

YOU'RE DISGUISING

YOUR VOICE, AREN'T YOU?

THAT'S WHY I CAN'T PLACE YOU.

NO, RICK.

THIS IS MY VOICE.

YOU THINK ABOUT IT,

AND I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

NO, WAIT --

HI, MRS. MARKS.

IS WENDY THERE?

( disappointed:
)

OH...

NICK ALREADY PICKED HER UP?

NO, THAT'S OKAY.

I'LL TALK TO HER TOMORROW.

BYE.

( door opens )

LIS'?

HI, HONEY.

OH, WHAT?

NOT ONLY AM I:

TOO YOUNG TO DATE,

I'M TOO YOUNG TO HAVE

A LITTLE PRIVACY?

SORRY.

I DIDN'T SAY

YOU COULD COME IN.

WELL, EXCUSE ME.

I JUST CAME TO SEE

IF YOU WERE HUNGRY.

I ALREADY ATE.

OH. GEE, THAT'S TOO BAD.

I STOPPED AT THE MARKE AND I GOT SOME COKES,

AND I ORDERED A PIZZA

WITH EVERYTHING ON IT,

JUST LIKE YOU LIKE IT.

MAYBE LATER.

MOM --

IS IT OKAY IF WENDY

SLEEPS OVER HERE

TOMORROW NIGH INSTEAD OF ME

OVER THERE?

UM...

SURE.

( door closes )

READY FOR LUNCH?

SURE AM.

THAT'S GONNA

LOOK GREAT.

OH, THANKS.

HAVE FUN!

OH, SWEETHEART,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO

CANCEL OUR DATE:

FOR TONIGHT.

( laughs in disbelief )

I'M NOT COUNTING,

BUT THAT'S, WHAT?

ONE, TWO, THREE...

I KNOW, I KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST THA THE PLAN'S CHANGED.

LISA WAS SUPPOSED

TO SPEND THE NIGH AT WENDY'S HOUSE,

BUT INSTEAD,

WENDY'S GONNA

STAY AT OUR HOUSE.

KATHERINE.

YES?

CAN I ASK YOU:

A QUESTION?

SURE.

WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME

LIKE WE'RE HAVING

AN ILLICIT AFFAIR

INSTEAD OF:

A RELATIONSHIP?

I MEAN,

STOP BREAKING DATES WITH ME.

INVITE ME OVER.

IT'S COMPLICATED.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

BUT IT IS.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT IT'S LIKE

HAVING A 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

WHEN I COME HOME,

SHE'S WEARING MY LIPSTICK.

IF I GO ON A DIET,

SHE GOES ON A DIET.

IF SHE EVEN THOUGH I WAS SLEEPING WITH SOMEBODY,

SHE MIGHT THINK:

IT WAS ALL RIGHT FOR HER.

LOOK, I DON' HAVE TO STAY OVER,

I CAN JUST SHOW UP.

YOU CAN INTRODUCE US.

MAYBE I'D LIKE HER.
