Mom at Sixteen Page #5

different response than, say...

...turtlenecks and a parka?

- Well, I can't help that.

I'm not gonna limit what I wanna wear

because guys are gonna look.

What about the influence you get from

watching TV and MTV and music videos?

- It just gives us ideas.

- It gives you ideas?

If you see a video, and everyone's having

sex, then we'll start thinking about it.

It makes you curious,

makes you wanna try it.

I read this quote that said,

"Women were like ovens.

They're more slow to warm up.

Men are like microwaves.

You push one button, and they're ready. "

Do you think that's pressing buttons?

We see every day, in the media, role models

dressing up in revealing clothing.

How can you expect us

not to dress like them?

What are the results of dressing

or behaving like this?

- Getting some.

- Okay, so you hook up.

- And then what happens after that?

- Lf we don't give it up, they don't like us.

So what? So what if they don't like you?

Find someone who's willing to wait.

Like you did?

Yeah, but why wait if you're in love?

I'm not gonna wait forever.

I'm sorry, Tom, who were you

just in the bathroom with?

Okay. All right.

- You're a liar!

- Really?

Okay. Okay.

- Ask Gena.

- Okay.

Excuse me, did it hurt

when you had your baby?

Okay. Okay.

That is not how we speak in this class.

- You were pregnant?

- I can't believe you'd do this.

Thank you very much.

That was very inappropriate. Jacey!

Jacey!

Jacey!

Excuse me. Do you know

where the Admin building is?

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

- Bye.

- Yeah. Later.

I haven't heard from you

in, like, eight months.

And you just show up here.

- How..? How messed up is that?

- I'm sorry.

Okay, yeah, you're sorry.

You'll have to give me

a second here to adjust.

- My mom made us move.

- You couldn't call and tell me that?

- I wanted to...

- Whatever.

- Look, I know you're mad at me.

- Yeah.

- I just need five minutes to talk to you.

- About what?

About us. About what happened.

Yeah, what happened?

You left. I got... I got so messed up.

I mean, you just disappeared!

I loved you.

- That's stupid, right?

- I loved you too.

Can't we just go somewhere and talk?

What do you wanna tell me?

Can't we just hang out...

...like it used to be?

Yeah. All right.

- I love you so much.

- Wait.

- So much.

- I came here to tell you something.

Can it wait till after, please?

Please. Brad.

- What? What the hell?

- I'm... I'm sorry.

- What? What's wrong?

- I got pregnant.

What? You're not pregnant.

No, I know I'm not, not right now.

That's why my mom made us move.

And what? You had an abortion?

No, I...

I had a baby.

We had a baby boy.

My mom's pretending like he's hers

so it won't ruin our lives...

...but I wanted you to know.

You're so full of it.

No, my mom just freaked out

about the whole thing.

- You're freaking me out! If this is true...

- It is true.

You can see him if you want.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because I thought you should know.

What..? I don't...

Oh, thank God. She's back.

I'll call you later.

- Where have you been?

- Out.

- Yeah, I got that. Out where?

- Just out!

Jacey, I've been up all night.

I was scared to death.

I had absolutely no idea where you were.

That was your father.

We were about to call the police.

- Why didn't you?

- Why didn't you call me?

- Can we do this later?

- No, we can't!

- I can't handle this right now.

- Jacey! You can't handle it?

Jacey. I am the one who is up

with the baby all night.

I am the one who's working all day.

Now, I've been up all night waiting for you!

Why don't you give yourself a break

and stop being such a controlling b*tch.

- I'm sorry.

- Your baby needs you.

- Look, I...

- I hate you too!

You know what? I told Brad.

And you will be really happy to know

that he totally blew me off!

- You were right!

- Oh, baby, I'm sorry.

Look, I don't need him!

I don't need him and I don't need you!

- You don't need me?

- No!

You can do this all by yourself?

- Sure.

- All right, you give it a try.

- Here you go. Good luck.

- Come on, Macy.

Look, I'm gonna take Macy to the dentist

and then I'm gonna buy her some sneakers.

And then I'm gonna buy her some books.

And then I'm gonna get my hair done.

If you want to call me and apologize,

you can reach me on my cell phone.

If you don't want to,

I don't give a damn!

I'll be in the car. Macy, come on!

Okay.

Yeah. It's okay.

It's okay.

She didn't mean it.

There it is. That's the building.

Turn, hon. Turn here.

I got it.

There's a spot right there. Maybe it's

a sign. Maybe things are gonna be okay.

- Signs?

- Yes, signs.

It is a scientific fact that signs are real.

So now what?

Now we park in the back

and put a curse on that jerk's car.

By the way, is crazy genetic?

I wanna know if you'll be passing

down blue eyes and crazy to my kids.

Well, crazy is one thing.

Your feet is a whole other story.

What do you see? I mean,

just tell me it's a boy.

- We implanted four embryos this time?

- Yeah.

I know it sounds stupid,

but I dreamed it was a boy.

It's all right if it's more than one.

We've been waiting so long...

...that a ready-made basketball team is fine.

Unless it's eight to 10, all bets are off.

- Sorry, did I say something stupid?

- What? What is it? What do you see?

I'm sorry. It doesn't look like

any of the embryos have implanted.

But I don't understand.

I've had morning sickness and everything.

We knew there'd be a chance

that none of the embryos would take.

But this was the third time. You said

three times would give us the best chance.

Sometimes there's no explanation

why things don't work.

We can start again. When you're ready.

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay.

It's fine.

Right. Hat on.

Yeah.

Right.

Oh, yeah.

Attaboy! I'm gonna take Bear for a walk.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?

Great, yeah. I mean,

I've got you, live in America.

Does it get any better than this?

Come on! Come on, Bear.

Bear.

Come on.

Jacey.

Hi. I'm sorry.

I found your address in the phone book.

- I didn't know what else to do.

- Come in. Come in.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean bother you at...

I didn't know if you'd be here or at school.

It's Saturday.

- Right. Do you mind holding on to him?

- Sure.

- He likes if you... He likes if you pat his butt.

- Okay. Hello.

I brought his formula.

All I need would be purified water.

- Yeah.

- Where's your mother?

- It doesn't matter.

- Sure.

I just... Oh, man. Do you mind

if I sit down for two seconds?

- Please. No, make yourself comfortable.

- Thanks.

- You want something to drink?

- No, no, I'm okay. Thank you.

Hi.

May I kiss your stomach?

Why do babies love that so much?

- Donna? Donna.

- Oh, you're so cute.

- Hi.

- Why is Jacey Jeffries asleep on our couch?

More to the point,

what's her baby doing in your arms?

She just showed up. She needs my help

or something. Come on in.

- Have you called her parents?
