You dont seem all that s
10、erious, and youre in a very serious business.Man: Jacks my stepson. Hes a good guy, Jack.Ashley: I heard you asked him to ask out Grace so you could keep her dad at your church and keep his money at your church.Man: Thats not quite true. I did ask Jack to ask her out under that pretense, yes. Very g
11、ood, Ashley. Happy to clear the air on that one. Jack did take her out as a favor to me, but he really likes that girl, or liked that girl.Ashley: So, his parents are divorced?Man: No, his father is deceased. I met his mother when she and I were in grief counseling.Ashley: You were counseling Jacks
12、mother over the death of her husband and you picked her up?Man: I love your mind, the way you question everything. Marvelous. No, I was in counseling and, so was she.Ashley: So your wife is deceased?Man: He was a wonderful boy. And when he died.Well, my wife and I got divorced. But that was mostly m
13、y fault, because I turned with great enthusiasm Ashley: To the drugs you mentioned.Man: You do pay attention to the details. Thats a wonderful trait. Yes, the drugs. But I gotta tell you, living clean and sober with a woman Im in love with, doing work I love each day. Doesnt get much better than tha

But I think they think that if they get divorced, theyre gonna be a lot happier.Ashley: Yeah, but I wont.Man: Well, Ill do what I can.Man: Im a friend of Rickys, and I was trying to find him. I thought he might be there. I know he and Grace are going out. You have any idea where he might b
16、e?Tom: He is not here. He was. Now hes not.比如？不知道，我从不知道，我只是过来问问有没有什么能帮忙改善一下的，如果的确有我能帮忙的，我就帮忙。你不是我预想的那样。人们都那么说，没有期望就没有失望。Jack 是一个严肃的人，你看起来不那么严肃，虽然你在做一份相当严肃的工作。Jack 是我的继子，他是个好孩子。我听说你让他约会 Grace，那样你就能让她爸爸留在你的教堂，他的钱也就会留在你的教堂了。那可不完全符合事实，我的确用那个借口让Jack 约会她，没错，很好，很高兴能消除那误解，Jack 的确约她出去，当是帮我的忙，但他真的喜欢那女孩，或者曾经喜欢
17、过她。所以，他的父母亲离婚了？不，他父亲过世了，我和他母亲在忧伤治疗小组里认识。你在 Jack 妈妈的丈夫去世后，治疗他妈妈，然后就跟她好上了？我喜欢你的脑子，你想问题的方式，非常妙。但不是那样，我当时也在小组里，跟她一样。你老婆过世了？他是好孩子，在他去世后，我和我妻子离了婚，但那大部分其实是我的错，因为我对一些东西燃起了激情.呃你提到的毒品。你很注意细节，那是个很好的习惯，对，是毒品。但我要告诉你，清清白白地和一个我爱的女人过日子，每天做我爱的工作，没有什么比这更美妙的了，除非你一开始过得就是这样的生活，没有那些毒品，死亡，还有离婚，对生活一直充满热情。我不想我爸妈离婚，那就是你能帮我的，
18、你能确保我父母不离婚。他们看来是不太幸福，没法不让我注意到，但我想他们认为如果他们离婚了，他们会幸福一些。是，但我不会。那我尽我所能吧。我是 Ricky 的朋友，我在找他，我以为他会The Secret Life of American Teenager 11416Man: Okay, do you know where he went?Tom: He took Grace to the batting cages. Theyre going to hit baseballs.Man: That was easy. Okay, thank you very much.Amy: Why are
19、you sitting here with the garage door open?Ashley: Its not like the neighbors dont know.Amy: Wheres Dad?Ashley: Oh, theyre inside arguing about money. Again.Amy: I cannot stand all this talk about money and not having money and needing money and-Its just so common.Ashley: Common. How much did you ea
20、rn at your babysitting gig tonight, your Majesty?Amy: Twenty bucks. Shut up.Ashley: How much does it cost to have a baby?Amy: I dont know. Thousands, I guess.Ashley: How many thousands?Amy: I dont know. Two, 10, 20? A lifetime full of babysitting multiple children of rich and desperate parents.Ashle
21、y: Well, if something goes wrong, it can cost more than 100,000, thats what Mom said to Dad tonight. And he said that she has to get a job because hes already working as hard as he can and were already going broke. And she says that hes hiding all of his money so he wont have to pay her in the divor
22、ce.Amy: I am so happy that I missed that. Well, theres nothing thats gonna happen to my baby. My babys fine, thats what the doctor says anyway, and Im looking for a job with insurance, but nobody wants to hire me. Who wants to hire a pregnant teenager? Maybe I could start my own business.Ashley: Doi
23、ng what?Amy: I dont know, just some business.Ashley: How are you gonna start some business without some money? Yeah, I know. Shut up.Amy: What am I gonna do? How am I gonna financially support a child and raise a child without Bens help?Ashley: Cant that stupid Ricky guy get a job? I mean, hes 16 an
24、d hes not pregnant.Ben: How was babysitting?Amy: Well, I made 20 whole dollars.Ben: Thats great. I mean, for babysitting. Im just excited that you got a chance to earn some money. My dad says its always easier to get a job if you have a job.Amy: Yeah, maybe. Hey, I was thinking about something and I
25、 thought Id run it past you.在那儿，我知道他和 Grace 出去了，你知道他们会去哪儿吗？他不在这儿，刚刚在，现在走了。你知道他去哪儿了吗？他带 Grace 去击球场了，他们要去打棒球。不费吹灰之力，好，多谢。你为什么把车库门大开着坐在这儿？邻居们又不是不知道。爸爸呢？他们在里面还在为钱吵。我真受不了这些争吵了，钱，没有钱，需要钱太寻常了。寻常，您今晚带小孩赚了多少钱，陛下？20 块，闭嘴吧。抚养一个孩子需要多少钱？不知道，好几千吧，我猜。几千？不知道，两千，一万，两万？得一辈子为有钱又绝望的父母照顾各种各样的小孩。如果出了什么事，十万块钱也不够，我今晚听妈妈对爸爸
26、说的，他又说她该找份工作，因为他已经工作得够努力了，而且我们已经快破产了，妈妈却说老爸把钱藏起来了，这样离婚的时候就不用分钱给她。我真高兴没听到那些，我的宝宝不会有事的，我宝宝很健康，医生这么说的。我在找一份带保险的工作，但没人想雇我，谁会想雇一个怀了孕的青少年呢？也许我能自己创业。做什么？不知道，小生意吧。没钱你怎么做生意啊？是，我知道，闭嘴。我该怎么办？没有 Ben 的帮助，我哪儿有钱生孩子养孩子啊？那个白痴 Ricky 不能找个工作吗？我是说，他 16 岁了，而且他又没怀孕。小孩带得怎么样？我赚了整整 20 块。不错了，只是带带小孩嘛，我只是很高兴你有机会赚点钱了，我爸爸说如果你有一份工
27、The Secret Life of American Teenager 11416Ben: Shoot.Amy: I was wondering.what would you think about me calling Ricky and asking if he was planning on financially helping out with the baby? Well, I mean, it would take some pressure off of me. Kind of. Okay, it was just an idea. Well, its only fair o
28、f him to help with the baby.Ben: I dont want you to have anything to do with that guy. Especially considering what we know about him. Im getting a job, okay?Amy: Its not your responsibility to get a job, and you havent gotten a job and neither have I. And its his responsibility to help out with the
29、baby.Ben: Well, Im making it my responsibility, if we were legally married right now, would you be asking me these questions?Amy: But were not legally married.Ben: Technically, and technically thats not my baby, but listen, just dont panic, okay? Well figure it out, and together, and without Ricky.
30、Everything will be fine.Ashley: Money seems to cause a lot of stress, doesnt it? Or the lack of it, anyway. Dont worry about it. Ill get a job and Ill help.Amy: How are you gonna get a job if I cant get a job?Ashy: I dont know. I havent tried, but it doesnt look too hard.Amy: Well, it is.Ashley: Who
31、a. Someones been watching us.Amy: I know. He was there when I got home.Ashley: Lets go inside now.Tom: Thanks for coming.Jack: Is everyone okay? Whats the emergency?Tom: Yeah. I need a ride. I need to go to the batting cages.Jack: Thats the emergency?Tom: I have to get there now. I made a mistake, a
32、 big mistake.Jack: What kind of a mistake?Tom: I answered the phone because my parents are not here. I was hoping it was Tammy, but it wasnt. It was a strange man who asked for Ricky.Jack: Okay. So a strange man asked for Ricky. And.?Tom: And I told him hes not here and he is with Grace at the batti
33、ng cages.Jack: All right, maybe you shouldnt have told him that, but its okay. Everyone makes a mistake, Tom.Tom: He laughed at me. He was a bad man, I can tell. I tried 作，那再找工作就会容易些。也许吧，我在想一些事 我想先跟你商量一下。说吧。我在想我打电话给 Ricky 问问他有没有打算在经济上帮助我们抚养孩子，怎么样？我是指，那样我压力会小些，某种程度上，这只是一个主意，他出一把力，这样对我们才公平。我不想你跟那人有任何关
34、系，特别是我们都知道他的为人，我会找份工作，好吗？你没有义务去找工作，而且你也没找到工作 我也是，他有责任来照顾孩子。我会把它变成我的责任，如果我们现在就是合法夫妻，你还会问我这些问题吗？但我们没有合法结婚。法律上没有，而且法律上，那也不是我的孩子，但别慌，好吗？我们会解决问题的，我们一起，不去扯上 Ricky，一切都会好起来的。钱的确会带来很多压力，是吧？或者说是缺钱。别担心了，我也会找份工作帮忙的。如果我都找不到工作，你要怎么找工作？不知道，我还没试过，不过好像不是太难。事实是很难。有人在看着我们。我知道，我刚回来的时候他就在。我们快进去吧。谢谢你能来。大家都好吗？出什么急事了？我需要搭个
35、便车，我要去击球场。这就是你的急事？我现在就得去，我犯了个错误，一个大错误。什么样的错误？我爸妈不在，所以我接了个电话，我希望是Tammy 打来的，但不是，是一个奇怪的男人打来找 Ricky 的。好吧，奇怪的人找 Ricky，然后呢？The Secret Life of American Teenager 11416to call Ricky. He wont answer his phone, and Grace wont answer her phone either.Jack: If theyre at the cages, their phones are probably off.T
36、om: No kidding. Lets go.Jack: Maybe it was his stepfather just trying to find out where Ricky is. If we go to the batting cages, Grace is gonna think I showed up there because thats where she and Ricky are. Just like she did at the wedding when I was invited and Ricky wasnt, even though he just hear
37、d about it and showed up.Tom: Yeah, okay, big deal.Jack: It is a big deal. People think Im crazy. They think I cant leave Grace alone, but I can, I really can. Im starting to look like a stalker.Tom: Would you stop worrying what people think of you? People could get hurt here. Lets go.Bob: I didnt m
38、ean to scare your daughters. I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you that Im here to help in any way I can, because I know Ricky wont.George: And how do you know that?Bob: Because I know my son, and even if he says he might step up, believe me, hes not a step-up kind of guy. Rickys a liar, a
39、big liar.George: Well, how did the big liar end up in foster care? Why doesnt he live with you?Bob: Well, because when I tried to lay down the law, he made up lies about me, big lies, and thats how he got into foster care. And now his new mommy and daddy believe everything he says. Theyve got him in
40、 therapy with a therapist who probably believes everything he says. And Id like to know what his therapist has to say about what he did to your Amy, but he probably told him he was seduced. Really, you dont know him the way I do, nobody does. That kid blames his life on everybody but the person resp
41、onsible for it: him. And hes been getting in trouble his whole life, and he just lies his way out of it.George: Well, he cant lie his way out of this one. Its too late for that.Bob: Im really sorry. I really am. Its so hard, you know? Hes my son and I love him. So despite the fact that he makes all
42、these problems for people, including myself, by the way, I just feel like I have to do what I can to help the people hes hurt. Because like it or not, hes my son, you know? So I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you that Im around, and if theres anything I can do to help, even if its just fin
43、ancially. I mean, this is gonna cost money. So just let me know.我告诉他 Ricky 不在这儿，他和 Grace 在击球场。好吧，也许你不该告诉他，但没关系，是人都会犯错。他嘲笑我，他是个坏人，我确定。我试图打给 Ricky，但他不接电话，Grace 也不接电话。如果他们在场里，他们的电话也许关机了。别开玩笑了，快走吧。也许是他继父想要知道 Ricky 在哪儿，如果我们去击球场，Grace 会以为我是因为她跟Ricky 在那儿才去的，就像去婚礼那次，我被邀请了 而 Ricky 没有，即使他只是闻风而来。是，好，多大点的事儿啊。是大
44、事，人们以为我疯了，他们以为我不能没有 Grace ，但不是那样的，人们都把我看作是跟踪狂了。你能别再担心别人会怎么看你了吗？有人可能会受伤，快走吧。我并不想吓你女儿，我只是想介绍一下自己，说明我来是为了尽我所能地帮忙，因为我知道 Ricky 不会。你怎么知道他不会？因为我了解我儿子，即使他说他会负责，相信我，他并不是会负责任的人，Ricky 是个骗子，大骗子。那大骗子怎么会被养父母照顾？为什么他不跟你一起生活？因为每次我想诉诸法律，他就编造关于我的谎言，弥天大谎，所以他就被送给养父母了，而他现在的父母相信他说的每一句话，他们带他去心理医生那儿治疗。他可能也完全相信 Ricky 的话，我倒是希
45、望能听他心理医生说说，他对 Amy 所做的事的看法，但他很可能说他被引诱了。真的，你不了解他，没人像我一样了解他。这孩子抱怨他生活里的一切，除了真正该对此负责的人.他自己。他一辈子都在惹麻烦，然后他就编个谎脱身。是吗 这次他可没那么容易脱身了，太晚了。我真的很抱歉，真的，这太难了，知道吗？The Secret Life of American Teenager 11416George: Give me your card. You have a card?Bob: I dont. I wrote my number down here, though. Just give me a call
46、anytime if theres anything I can do, and I really appreciate you hearing me out, George.Amy: Hes the liar, not Ricky.George: Hows that?Amy: I think we better get Mom. I know some things about Ricky that I should tell you, the two of you.George: What dont we know now?Adrain: Whats going on?Ricky: Im
47、at the batting cages.Adrain: Whats all that screaming?Ricky: Its Grace. Shes afraid of baseballs.Adrain: Ugh, shes afraid of everything. Hadnt you better go rescue her?Ricky: Yeah, I will. Eventually.Adrain: Wow, you are so low, you know that? Youre scaring her so she can get closer to you.Ricky: He
48、y, you are smart, thats why youre so sexy. But maybe Grace is smart too, maybe shes just pretending to be scared so she can get next to me.Adrain: Or she thinks screaming is cute or something.Ricky: It is cute, and slightly irritating.Adrain: Are you coming over later?Ricky: Depends on how scared an
49、d how close Grace gets, I guess.Ricky: Did you just come by to see if shes okay? Shes okay.Tom: No, he came down here for me.Ricky: Tom, you cant keep coming on dates with me and your sister. Last time you came on a date with us, we all got in trouble because you decided to get married.Tom: Yeah, still working on that.Ricky: Good, so, what are you doing here with Jack?Tom: Look, I made a mistake. Jack: Someone called a
