It's late.

We got to get on home. It's late.

We haven't gone too long, too bad.

We should have checked our time. Can't go.

We done spent every dime. It's late.

We're about to run out of gas. It's late.

We got to get home fast and speed.

We're in a slowdown zone. Oh, baby, look at that clock.

Why can't it be wrong? If we could have left home at a quarter to nine, would

have had fun and plenty of time.

We got started just a little bit late.

Just getting my mood up.

I see that.

Looks like you've got a lot to say.

I do, and this is just the beginning.

Well, just remember, you've got a lot of Sundays to say everything.

A lifetime, really.

I know I can remember a couple of Sundays when I thought what I had to say

more important than anything else. I'm well aware.

I wish my parents had made arrangements to be in church in time to hear your

sermon. On the other hand, once they get here... We have to tell them about

marrying Carlos.

You have to tell them.

I...

Is that Meredith?

Yeah. It's her friend from school. She invited him.

He's not a teacher, is he?

No. His name's Jack.

He's barely older than I am.

Are you interested in Jack?

I might be, but it's okay, Meredith. No.

How old is he?

I think he's 17.

Maybe 18.

This is Martin's class.

Hey. Is Jack coming?

No, he's working. Oh, how's the landscaping business?

It's going well.

Meredith's here.

I know.

Sorry, I'm walking in.

Is Martin interested in Meredith?

Yeah, and Meredith's interested in him.

Well, so why is she with Jack?

He's her summer boyfriend. Believe me, it's over.

But Martin went out with Cecilia, and Cecilia's parents took in Meredith and

sisters and brother. They all became a family.

I mean, Meredith is Cecilia's sister.

Meredith called me Philly and asked her if it would be okay if she went out with

Martin. She doesn't care.

I didn't know Simon was coming home this weekend.

Oh, hey.

Why are you here?

You know, the Colonel and Ruth won't be here till later. Are you going to

introduce Rose to your grandparents?

No, no. Rose just really wanted to come to church, but we're going to drive up

after her. Good, good, good, because there's no reason to stick around.

What's up with Martin?

Oh.

Why don't you be here?

Look, I think we should talk about what happened last summer.

I just feel like we need to clear the air, you know?

I tried calling you, but you didn't return any of my calls.

Oh, where's Savannah?

I left her in the nursery. I was afraid she'd yell out to Lucy during her

sermon. Do you know what Lucy's sermon is about?

No.

The working mother of Christ.

I hope she doesn't bring our debate about raising Savannah into the church.

no one's business. It's personal.

Welcome to my world.

7th Heaven, when I see their happy faces, by letting back at

me.

7th Heaven, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of

family. Where can you go,

when the world don't treat you right? The answer

is home.

So anything that offers you a reward is a suggestion.

Anything that offers you some punishment is a suggestion.

We are subject to suggestion 100 % of the time, unless we are aware that what

are doing is blindly following suggestion.

As women, as mothers, we hear a lot of suggestions, this being the big one.

Stay at home and the children will be better off.

Go to work and the children will suffer.

But then there are the child experts who say that it's better if the mother

works, especially if there are daughters involved.

It's better for the daughter to see that women are valued in the world.

valued in jobs that serve others outside the family.

Better to see mom as a wage earner who makes a contribution outside the home as

well as inside the home, just like the working father.

Look at my family, the family I grew up in.

Each of my brothers and sisters has responded differently to the same

A father who works outside the home and a mother who works inside the home.

As you have observed over the years, each of us, each Camden, has had his or

challenges. And our achievements and failures have been right out there for

of you to observe, comment on, and be a part of even.

This morning I'm just sharing with you some of the questions that I've been

faced with over the summer as my husband and I are considering some suggestions

that we've been bombarded with as we make our decision regarding our daughter

Savannah and our plans for her and for our family's future.

It seems that Kevin and I are discovering what a lot of you parents

already.

The books aren't always right.

The experts are often divided on the issue of working mothers. I can't

you brought her here. I had to.

No, you didn't. So, how do we know the right thing to do?

Especially in terms of our children and our families. Remind me never to

introduce you to Rose's friends again.

You won't have to. Do we follow in the footsteps of our own parents?

Or do we try to avoid those footsteps in hopes of not repeating their mistakes?

The questions are simple.

The answers are complex.

But...

We have a guide, and life itself is our teacher.

Is she done yet?

No.

Yes, I am. Or almost.

I just want to say that we'll be learning as we go through this life

And once a month, I will be speaking to you, to all of you, about the challenges

life presents to all of us as the students of life in the school called

Thank you.

May God bless you and keep you while we're absent one from another. Amen.

We should talk.

About? It's 12 .30.

I'll talk to her.

Well, maybe we should talk first. I don't think people are happy with that

sermon. I saw some happy faces. Yeah, around noon when the people thought she

was finished.

My office tomorrow.

I think we're going to head back home. The boys are hungry.

Okay, I'll say my goodbyes as quickly as possible.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem since everyone's in such a hurry to get out.

The sermon was a little long.

Yeah, and I don't think everybody liked it.

You?

Did she imply that even though I chose to stay home with my children, some of

them turned out rotten? I don't think she said that, no. And they're not just

your children, they're our children, so if they're rotten, then I'm equally

responsible. I don't think she said that. I think she said the mom's

responsible. Yeah, I think she said that.

You don't know, you're asleep.

So will you.

I'm hungry. I'm starving.

Yeah, we'll see you back at the house.

Sure, Reverend, you've got choices. But what about those of us who don't have

husbands who are loaded?

How long have you been a mother?

Like five minutes?

Have you read the book your sermon's based on?

What happened? I'm just not sure they've got your point. What exactly was the

point you were...

trying to make. Not about you, about working mothers in general.

I'm not sure I'm quite clear on that.

Just because you've been doing this forever doesn't mean you get to critique

sermon.

Actually, since I'm the pastor of this church and you're the associate pastor,

even if you're my daughter, I think I do get to comment.

Excuse me. I think you forgot something.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was waiting for my wife. Yeah, we were all waiting for your

wife.

That was a long sermon, huh?

In my church, people just start walking out the doors at 12 .15, whether it's

over or not.

I'm usually home and changed by now.

Well, if you're in a hurry to get back, I can just get a ride with the Camden.

Ruthie and I can just hang out at our house or something.

Right? Well, that's okay. I don't think Meredith's dad would like it if I picked

her up and didn't bring her back.

Well, we should get going.

Well, I'd invite you guys over to the house for lunch later, but Simon showed

with some of his friends from school.

Maybe some other time.

Well, do you guys want to meet Martin and me at the promenade tonight?

We could see a movie, then get a pizza or something.

We'll see.

It's a school night.

We don't usually go out on school nights.

But maybe. We'll call you later.

Look, I just thought you would have called me. Look, I'm really sorry.

And I guess I should have. But I... I was... I don't know.

Embarrassed.

Really?

I just... I don't know why I let that happen.

Wait, is that your first time?

I mean, it didn't seem like it was your first time. I only asked that because

you said you were embarrassed.

Okay, um, do we have to talk about this?

Especially here?

No, we don't have to talk about this here.

But I definitely think we should talk about this.

We can stay until they get here.

I don't have a class until 11 tomorrow.

No. You can meet them some other time.

Why not now?

Because now's not a good time. I think my mom and dad want to tell them about

marrying Carlos.

Don't you think it would make them happy if they know that while one Camden is

getting divorced, another one's getting married?

I don't know.

I don't think Martin's too happy to see Sandy.

I think they look cute together.

Well, cute or not.

I don't think he's very interested in her.

He was interested enough to sleep with her.

What? No, Martin doesn't do that. Believe me, I know. We talk.

He comes to me for advice.

Have you talked to him recently?

No.

I'm sure Martin hasn't slept with Sandy. When would Martin have slept with

Sandy? When? The only time he's ever been out with her. When he came up to

you this summer.

What's the big deal?

Why do you care?

Yeah, I should probably wait for your mom.

And Kevin and Lucy and Savannah, I suppose.

Why don't you call them? I know the number. I can tell it to you. No, I know

number. I called. They didn't answer. Then maybe they're eating at their

Yeah, maybe they're not coming.

Pass the gravy.

Yeah, maybe I should help Mommy get the garage apartment ready for the Colonel

and Grandma Ruth.

Oh, didn't we tell you? Yeah, they're just coming for a few days. We haven't

seen them for a long time.

I can't wait to see them. We love playing soldier with the colonel.

Yeah, and your mother and I just love seeing the three of you pretending to

shoot each other.

There's something that maybe we should talk about.

See, the colonel and Grandma Ruth don't know about marrying Carlos, and your mom

and I would like to be the ones to tell them, so I'm hoping that maybe you

won't. say anything about Mary and Carlos, you know, until we've had a

explain things to them.

How are you going to explain Mary?

That's a very good question. And I'll just have a bite of roast while I think

about that.

Why don't we get Martin and go get

something to eat?

Because my mom made lunch.

She said we didn't have to wait. We can eat now if you want.

No, then she'd think I'm impolite.

But maybe Martin would like to wait with us.

If he wanted to wait with us, I'm sure he would wait with us. It's not like he

doesn't know we're all in here.

Or maybe I could go find him and I'll wait with him.

I didn't know we drove all the way down to Glen Oak just so you could see

Martin. But that's what we did, so go and get him.

Look, he's too young for you. He's still in high school.

So? He's very mature.

No, he's not.

Look, I know him. He's not that mature.

Well, maybe it's time he grows up a little bit.

Hey, I tried. I got them to church, but you blew it by talking to Rose's friend.

I know, but you could have kept them around if you had really tried.

Don't blame me. After that sermon, everyone was in a hurry to leave.

Maybe she really likes that guy.

No, she doesn't. She wants to go out with you, and she said I could have

and I'll take him.

I don't want to waste half the year trying to find someone like I did last

You don't have to have a boyfriend.

Especially that guy. He's a senior.

So?

Meredith's younger than you. What's the difference?

By one year.

And the difference is I'm really attracted to her and she's a really nice

And we have a lot in common. She lost her mom to drugs. I lost my mom to

I mean, her mom's not dead or anything, but she's never really been there for

her. Well, Jack's a really nice guy and we might have a lot in common.

But you don't know that.

You don't know anything about him, and neither do I.

I know he's cute and he's popular, and I can get to know him once I get you

hooked up with Meredith.

You know, I'm not really comfortable with the fact that you two have this

where you trade one guy for another one.

They do it all the time in baseball.

You don't seem to mind then.

By the way, why is your dad doing landscaping on Sunday?

I don't know. It's a job.

A job he really likes. He finds it relaxing after being in the service for

long. Don't you find it a bit... Strange for a career marine to go into

gardening?

No, I don't.

If you ask me, he's in the CIA.

Well, he's not.

Did he tell you that?

No.

He would tell me if he was in the CIA.

Would he?

No, that's crazy. He's in landscaping.

Okay, he's in landscaping.

Hey, guys.

Want to wait with us in the living room?

No, we don't, but thanks.

What about you?

I'm fine out here.

You know, Sandy came all this way just to see you.

Well, she shouldn't have.

But she did.

Why?

Ask him.

If Lucy and Kevin aren't here in ten minutes, I think we might go somewhere

to eat and then eat again once everyone gets their act together around here.

Sure you don't want to come in, Martin?

I'm sure.

I can't believe you and Martin...

You know?

Why not?

You and I did.

That was before I met Rose.

That's how you met Rose.

Through me.

Or have you forgotten that already?

No, I haven't forgotten.

We went to high school together.

Look, Rose doesn't know that you and I... No.

But she does know about Martin and me.

What's there to know?

Other than you slept with him, which, by the way, I think was really wrong. You

know, he's still in high school.

Well, it's not like I had to talk him into it.

What are you here for, anyway?

I mean, if he wanted to see you, he'd call you.

I have my reasons.

We better get over there. They're waiting on us.

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, I love having our own house.

But really, we have to stop fighting about work and fatherhood and motherhood

and... Who's fighting?

Well, that was a pretty good fight.

And an even better apology.

Still. Still what? If fighting means we get to do that more often, I say we keep

fighting about who's staying home with Savannah until she graduates from

college. But we've been fighting all summer.

I know. Thanks.

Really. This sharing child -raising responsibilities isn't working. I mean,

one thing to say that you'll take care of Savannah during the day and I'll take

care of her at night, but...

It's like we both have two jobs. No, it's not, really.

I love being at home with Savannah.

Well, I have to admit, you are pretty good with her, but... But so are you.

I think we should think about having another one.

Wait, another... baby?

Why not?

Why not? Are you crazy?

No!

It is way too soon. And I'm already struggling with my job and raising one

child. I feel torn. Like I'm not giving my work or my family my full attention.

I'm getting plenty of attention. More attention than I've ever gotten.

I'd be willing to quit my job and stay at home with the kids.

I would.

I'd love being a cop, but I'd love being a dad more.

You can't quit your job.

Why not?

No. You were a cop long before I was a minister. It wouldn't be fair.

I have an idea.

Why don't you write a sermon about it, and we'll see what the members of the

congregation say.

We're not fighting again.

Please?

You take Savannah. I'm going to go clean up, and I'll meet you over there.

Don't you want a sister or a brother?

No, she doesn't.

Is she reading?

Not officially. It's a...

Paper plate. So is everyone waiting on us?

Not really.

Huh.

Thanks for waiting on us.

Can I ask you something?

You know, as a priest or whatever you call it.

I'm not a priest.

I'm an associate pastor.

But... Go ahead.

Does it work the same way if I ask you something or tell you something?

Can it be completely confidential and you won't tell Kevin or Reverend Camden

Mrs. Camden or my dad, especially my dad?

Yes, it works the same way.

I promise.

This is between you and me.

Now, how can I help?

That girl who came to church, Rose's friend, Sandy, I went out with her when

went to see Simon this summer.

Okay.

and I don't want to see her again.

She keeps calling me, and today she showed up here.

So your question is, how do you dump her?

Well,

you only saw her the one time, but of course you still want to be polite and

respectful of her feelings, since she obviously has feelings for you. So tell

her that you enjoyed meeting her.

but she's in college and you're still in high school, and you think it'd be best

if you found someone to date who's closer to your age and closer to home.

That's true.

Wait a minute.

Why are you asking me this?

What don't you want my dad and your dad and anyone else to know?

I need to talk to Martin.

Well, I'm talking to him.

You can talk to him anytime. I'm only here for the day.

Most of which I spent listening to your very long sermon, so if you don't mind.

Thanks for the advice.

You slept with her? Look, no judgment, okay?

Especially from you.

For the garage apartment.

For Grandma Ruth and the Colonel.

While everyone else is here, we can eat.

Oh, I think everyone already ate.

I know I did.

I haven't, or I didn't eat that much, and your mom hasn't eaten. Where is she?

Down in the basement looking for old jazz records for the colonel.

She thinks if she makes them comfortable enough, they won't want to leave the

garage.

Not likely.

So what's the plan?

The plan is that they'll get in here later tonight, and we'll get them.

over to the apartment so they can get to bed early and not ask any questions.

Then tomorrow morning, I'll whisk the boys over to school before they have a

chance to spill the beans. Then I'm going to work. Then your mom's going to

them the car so they can roam around while she's busy doing what she does.

we'll all have an early dinner, and Kevin and Lucy will keep them busy

them the new house and Savannah, and we'll all go to bed early.

We'll continue playing cat and mouse like that through the week until we get

trapped in a corner and have to tell them about the divorce, at which point

sure they'll head straight to the airport, angry that we didn't tell them

and blaming me for what happened with an order from the colonel to do something

about it.

So, it really doesn't matter if I stick around tonight?

Like, I can go out if I want?

With that guy sitting across the aisle from you in church?

Maybe.

Doesn't he have a girlfriend already?

Meredith? No, she's interested in Martin, and Martin's interested in her,

I'm interested in Jack.

So now all we have to do is get Jack interested in me, and everything should

work out fine.

How do you plan to get him interested in you?

By being there when Meredith dumps him.

Oh, that sounds like a complicated and dishonest plan of action.

No disrespect intended, Dad, but kind of like your plan.

Yeah, but...

Mine involves family, and yours involves innocent outsiders. And how old is that

guy, Jack?

He's a senior.

And you're a sophomore, and I don't know that you should be going out with an

older guy.

Meredith's younger than Martin, and she's going out with him. Or at least

wants to go out with him. Isn't she just a year younger?

So I'm a couple years younger.

Lots of girls in my class are dating seniors.

Yeah, but I can't do anything about them.

Dad, I've been dating for almost a year now. I think I can handle going out with

a senior.

Not a senior I haven't met and know nothing about other than...

He looks more like a 21 -year -old adult.

You investigated everyone Mary ever went out with in high school. And her life

and her relationships haven't turned out all that well.

I did the same with Lucy and her husband's gym.

True. But if there is a Kevin out there for me, I have to be the one to find

him. You can't do that for me.

I think I'm responsible enough to choose my own dates and my own boyfriends.

Don't you trust me?

I trust you. I just don't trust an 18 -year -old senior I never met. Just ask

him to come over.

Let me get a sense of what kind of guy he is, and your mother and I will talk

over. Well, what if I don't want to?

What if I don't want to look like some big baby who has to ask her parents'

approval if she wants to go out for a pizza or to a movie?

What if I just want to be a normal teenager with normal parents, not the

daughter of some minister who thinks he has the God -given right to ruin my

life?

What's going on?

What's going on is that Ruthie suddenly thinks she should be allowed to do

anything she wants, and I'm going to go talk to her.

I think we have enough going on with your parents coming to visit, so let's

get into an argument with Ruthie that can wait. I don't think it can wait. She

wants to go out tonight.

Well, she can't go out with him tonight.

Well, she can't go out with Jack anytime if I don't think she should.

We don't think she should. We don't think she should, do we? We don't know

He's a senior. He's too old for her. Well, we don't even know if he wants to

out with her, and neither does she.

Why don't we just, you know...

Wait and see what happens, okay? Slow down. Take one guy at a time, one day at

time. Maybe.

Or maybe the problem isn't whether or not Jack wants to go out with her. Maybe

the problem is that we are once again on the road to teenage daughter hell.

And I say we turn and head in the other direction before we find ourselves down

at the city jail paying bail money.

She's not Mary.

And she's not going to become Mary.

Because I wasn't planning to do anything.

Well, then you shouldn't have done anything.

It just... just happened.

Come on, man. What if... What if... I don't know. I just... I have a bad

that she wants to see you for some other reason than she just wants to see you.

Sure you don't want some dessert?

And get fat before the wedding?

I think there's enough time before the wedding for you to get fat. Then you can

get thin again.

Then maybe you can get fat again. Then you can get thin again.

That's if we wait until we graduate.

We agreed to wait until we graduate a year from next May.

I don't want to wait.

I know.

We agreed to.

Can we please get engaged sooner?

We agreed to wait until May.

And then we're going to spend our whole last year of school engaged.

And then we're going to be married, okay?

So just stick to the plan.

Plans are good, but I also like to be spontaneous.

You're not looking at rings again, are you?

I love this one.

That's a nice ring, all right.

I just don't make that kind of money. I make minimum wage.

You can make payments.

Making payments on a ring is...

Like paying for it several times over. You might understand money, but you

understand me. I don't think I can wait until May to get a ring.

Oh, yes, you can.

It'll give us a chance to get to know each other better.

We know each other.

Yeah, but we'll know each other better next May. And even better the next May

when we get married.

Come on, everything seemed to be going along fine. What happened?

I just don't want Martin and Sandy to get married before us.

Married? She doesn't think she's pregnant, does she?

All I know is that I'm late.

Late?

Yes, you do know what that means, don't you?

Well, yeah, but couldn't it mean other things? Couldn't there be other reasons?

No, sweetie, I don't think so.

You visited the campus in June.

I don't want anything to do with this.

Yeah, well, except you had everything to do with this.

I don't even know you.

Well, I think we're going to get to know each other pretty well over the next

few weeks and months and years. No, no, no, no, we're not. But you do whatever

you want to do.

Hey, you better talk to me or I'm going to talk to somebody else.

Hello?

Yeah, I think she's here, Jack.

Do you mind if I ask what this is regarding?

Hi.

Hi.

I can't wait to meet your mom and dad.

Are you and Simon going to wait around for them? You know, it might be eight,

maybe nine, even later before they get here. Of course we're going to wait.

Simon wants to tell them we're getting married.

You haven't already told them, have you?

No.

You know, maybe you should wait until it's all official.

It's official.

Yeah, but, I mean, there's not really a date yet.

Yes, there is.

This May we're getting engaged, and the following May we're getting married.

Unless, of course, our plans change and we decide to do it all sooner.

Of course.

Is Simon in the living room?

Excuse me.

You know, you and Rose don't have to wait around. I'm sure your grandparents

would understand.

I know. And I don't like the idea of you driving so far late at night, so... I

know. And to tell you the truth, this might not be the best time, considering

that while they're here, we're planning to tell them about Mary. Well, maybe you

can give them that bad news, and then I could give them my good news.

Well, but you know, it's a long time till May, and...

You're young, and plans can change between now and then.

But if you wait until you're certain about your plans with Rose, absolutely

certain, it might be better. Because then, if you decide for some unknown

reason, any reason, that you're not getting married, then you don't have to

back and tell people, like my parents, who might then...

I feel disappointed and I want to ask you a lot of questions about what

happened, which they tend to do. I don't mind if we don't tell them. Rose wants

everyone to know.

Everyone. Family.

Friends. Acquaintances.

Strangers. Yeah.

You're buying a ring?

She wants me to buy her a ring.

That ring?

Don't worry. It'll only take me until May to come up with the money.

What are you planning to do, rob a bank? She seems to think that we can pay for

it together if we both picked up extra jobs.

Oh, as what?

Astronauts? I don't think they make that kind of money.

Simon. Dad.

I know what you're going to say.

Oh, what am I going to say?

You're going to say that I'm young and that marriage is...

Yeah, a very big deal, and I should be absolutely sure that I am spending it

with the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Something like that.

I love her.

I can't help it.

I really do.

She's... She's demanding, and... She's selfish

and controlling.

And that's what you love about her?

I love what her being selfish and demanding and controlling does to me. I

she really pushes me to take risks, to take

on challenges that I wouldn't normally take on.

Like?

Like changing my major.

You changed majors?

Yeah.

I mean, I'm still interested in film, but now I'm going for my degree in

business law.

Maybe I'll get into law school and become an attorney for the industry.

I can get a job as an agent or studio executive or work at a

network. I don't know.

I had no idea.

It combines my interest in money with my interest in film.

That's what the film industry is all about.

Making deals and money. I think I'd be good at that.

Yeah. Sounds good. I do, too.

So she's not all bad.

I mean, I know you and Mom don't like her, but you don't really know her.

It's not that we don't like her.

We never said we don't like her.

Just give us time, okay?

And give your grandparents time, too.

Look, you don't have to tell them that you're getting married the first time

they meet your girlfriend.

I think I already lost that battle, but I'll talk to her, okay?

Thanks.

Couldn't be that already.

What's this regard to? Did you say that?

Just a second.

Hi.

We're here.

It was Mary's idea.

She gave me the flight passes and I thought, why not?

Yeah, Mary's idea.

She wants you and Annie and the rest of the family to stay in contact with your

grandson.

And I agree.

I think I should bring him more.

That's okay, right?

Because if this is too hard for you, or... Mary was supposed to call you and

you know that we were coming.

I guess I should have called first, make sure you know. You and Charlie are

welcome here any time.

Annie and I are just so happy that you're here.

Are you sure? Of course.

It's just this...

One little problem.

Not a problem, really. A challenge.

My mom and dad are flying in tonight.

This is the first time we've seen them face -to -face in a while, and we were

using this opportunity to tell them about the... You and Mary.

Oh, I didn't know that.

I guess I was right, and I should have called.

Really, you never have to call first.

But, uh...

Since you didn't and you're here, maybe... No,

no, no.

I've met them a couple of times and I don't think I should be the one to break

the news to them. I'll just go check in a hotel.

No, you can't do that. I mean, I really am looking forward to spending time with

Charlie and you. So we'll just spend time with my parents as well.

It'll all work out.

Is Ruthie home? Sure, come in.

Oh, you two haven't met.

Meredith, this is Carlos. Mary... Well, this is our... I'm Carlos.

Oh.

Ruthie's upstairs, all the way upstairs in her bedroom, third floor.

Okay, thank you.

I'm so sorry. I just, I got caught off guard. It's not something I...

thought about who you are now.

So you just call me Carlos and I'll call you Eric.

I still can't believe this happened.

I still don't know what happened.

Well, there are two of us in this marriage and I have to take equal

responsibility for things not going right.

That's very generous of you, but...

Hi, Carlos.

Hey, Ruthie. Nice to see you.

It's nice to see you, too.

I apologize to Jack for you, even though he thought you were just trying to be

funny.

Apologize for?

He's a really nice guy, Jack.

Not as nice as Martin.

Where is Martin, anyway?

Okay, so I got the text.

Where's the restaurant?

It's over by the movie theater.

Okay, here goes nothing.

Should I come with you?

No, I'll be fine. You should just wait right here, okay?

I told Simon we'd find you here.

Where's Sandy?

Uh, she's around.

Look, why don't we just catch up with you guys later at the house or

Yeah, okay.

Not okay.

So, how are things going?

Sandy's great, isn't she?

What's wrong?

Maybe we should just catch up with them later.

Is something wrong?

Not yet.

No.

How's my daughter?

You just left ten minutes ago. Let me talk to her.

Are you at your desk or are you in the car?

I'm at my desk. I'm getting ready to go. I want to talk to her before I go out.

It's Daddy.

Hi, Savannah.

It's Daddy.

How's my little girl, huh?

It's Savannah.

Give Daddy a kiss.

She doesn't know how to do that.

I love you. I have to go.

I love you, too. I'll see you later.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

No, not really. I can always call them back.

You really love being a dad, don't you? Yeah, I really do.

Well, I hope you still love being a cop, because I have an assignment for you.

Love being a cop.

We located the suspect in that freeway shooting.

I want an arrest.

You and Slotkin are backup.

We're on our way.

Kinkirk.

Focus, son.

I don't want anyone hurt out there.

Got it, Captain. And don't worry, no one's going to get hurt.

I have my daughter waiting for me.

I feel responsible for this.

I never should have let him go out with her.

Are you kidding?

You have nothing to do with this.

You didn't know he was going to sleep with her.

It happens.

It doesn't have to happen.

But it did.

And it has nothing to do with us.

Other than, again, they're not getting married before we get married.

Emotions are mixed emotions.

For it's a world where love and confusion reign.

A world of hope and laughter and tears and pain.
