You look familiar.

You look familiar, too. I used to work
here at the library. Kim.

Oh, well, that must be why I recognize
you. Matt.

Matt.

Camden? Yep.

You used to date Heather Kane, right?

Heather... Death, right?

So, um... Do you...

Want to take a break and get a cup of
coffee?

No, thank you.

Come on, please, please.

I have to have a sleepover tomorrow
night for my two best friends. Your two

friends? Yeah, Rachel's my best friend
from my new school, and Sarah's my best

friend from my old... school. Well,
honey, it's been a really busy week.

Why don't you have them over next
weekend?

Maybe I could help out with Ruthie's
sleepover.

You're volunteering to be in charge?

Please volunteer, please.

Well, I don't have any plans for
tomorrow night, so sure.

I'll be in charge.

Wow. You have no idea what you're
getting into.

So come over after dinner, eat some
popcorn, watch a video, and go to bed.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Julie. What's up?

Hank wants you to help him move his
office?

Hold on a second.

Do you want to babysit for Julie all day
tomorrow?

It's her lucky day. I'm available and
broke.

Broke? You're broke?

What time do you need me at your place?

I love you, and I don't want to hurt
your feelings.

But lately you've been a little
unfocused and irresponsible.

Honestly, I'm not sure I want to leave
you in charge of Erica.

Just give me a chance to prove I'm
responsible.

Please.

Okay.

Thanks. Hey, we didn't say anything.

Now, when you say you're broke, what
exactly does that mean?

Seven heavens, when I see their happy
faces smiling back at

me.

Seven heavens, 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...

7th Heaven 7th Heaven

7th Heaven

Hello? Mary?

Hey, Frankie. Do you think you could
babysit Mercy today?

I hate to ask, but since we got
arrested, my mother won't babysit

And, uh, you're my only friend. I don't
know who else to ask.

I would, but I'm already babysitting for
my aunt and uncle all day.

But that's perfect. What's one more kid?

No, my aunt would not like that.

So don't tell her.

I can't do that.

I'm sorry.

Sarah and Rachel are coming over.

Yes, I know. Your friends are coming
over tonight.

No, they're coming over now.

It's still morning.

So? Sleepovers happen at night, thus the
name sleepover.

If they happened during the day, it
would be called a day over.

I wanted my sleepover to be special.

Sarah and Rachel will be here all day
and all night. Cool, huh?

Are you sure you can handle this?

Of course I can handle it.

As a matter of fact, I can handle the
whole half.

Yeah, why don't you and Dad take the day
off?

I'll take care of Ruthie's sleepover and
Sam and David.

What do you think of my hair?

It looks nice.

I'm a freshman in high school. I do not
want to look nice.

Sorry, you do look nice.

Well, I'm tired of being nice.

Well, I want a new image. I want to be a
new Simon.

A manlier Simon. A cooler Simon.

So which Simon is going to help me with
Ruthie's sleepover?

It'll be fun.

Nice try, Tom Sawyer, but I'm not going
to help you with Ruthie's sleepover.

This?

No.

This?

Yeah, good choice, good choice.

Quick, you've got to help me get the
boy's dress.

We've got to get out of the house as
soon as possible. Lucy just volunteered

babysit. She's going to take care of
Ruthie's friends and watch Sam and

But we have to leave before she changes
her mind or finds someone to spend the

day making out with. Lucy can do that?
Take care of everyone?

She has Simon to back her up, and she
promised to page us if she needs

So we get the whole day to ourselves?

I love Lucy.

Me too.

Okay, the phone rings and someone asks
if we're at home. What do you do?

I say you're not available and ask to
take a message.

But what if? Look.

You guys have been grilling me since I
got here with What If.

I'm not 12.

I'm 18, and I know how to babysit. I
know how to answer the phone and the

and I also know that Mom and Dad are a
phone call away, and so are the police.

So stop worrying and leave, or I will.

Okay. We're going out to dinner after we
finish at the hospital.

So we won't be home until about 9 or 10?
Not if you don't leave.

And no visitors, okay?

I won't even use the phone.

Unless, of course, I need to call the
police.

I'm sorry.

We're just a little nervous.

I've never left a baby all day before.

And yet you hide it so well.

Bye -bye, good girl.

Hello. Bye -bye.

Oh, bye -bye, sweetie.

Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

I'm not charging enough.

I met this woman at the library. I think
Heather might have said something to

her. Something about me. Something bad.
When I asked her out, she said no.

Heather must have said something.

I don't think Heather would ever say
anything bad about you.

No. No, she must have.

Heather isn't capable of saying anything
bad about anybody. She doesn't have a

mean bone in her body.

She dumped me at the altar.

Not marrying you was a nice thing, a
rational thing, a good thing. It was not

mean thing.

You know, this sounds oddly familiar.

You meet a girl, you ask her out, she
says no, and it drives you crazy.

Just face it. You, my friend, cannot
deal well with rejection.

That's not true.

Oh, no.

You've got that look in your eye.

What look?

That look that says you're about to do
something stupid. Something you're going

to regret.

I'm going out.

To do something stupid.

I need to do something to change my
image.

Everyone sees me as this nice little...
kid.

I'm not a kid. I'm a freshman in high
school. I'm a man.

Yeah, we're men.

A kid can't grow a mustache.

A kid doesn't have a deep voice. A kid
doesn't think about girls all the time.

And I do mean all the time.

Well, maybe you should change your hair.

I tried.

I need to do something radical,
something big.

Something that when people see me, they
think to themselves...

There's a man.

What about a tattoo?

That may be a bit too manly.

Frankie, what are you doing here?

I called the house. Your sister told me
where you were.

Well, I wish you would have called
first. My aunt and uncle don't want me

have any visitors.

They're not here.

And I'm not a visitor. I'm a friend.

Okay. You can come in, but just for a
minute.

Look, I came all this way to beg you in
person.

Please watch Mercy.

Please. Be my friend. Do me this one
favor.

Look, I just need an hour.

And your sister said your aunt and uncle
are going to be gone all day.

I think Johnny's cheating on me.

I want to follow him, catch him in the
act.

But I can't do that unless you watch
Mercy.

Just for an hour, right?

Two hours, Max.

Don't mess this up.

I won't.

I won't.

I'll just go get Mercy.

You left her in the car?

I rolled the window down.

Man, you're the best friend ever.

Or the stupidest friend ever.

No, we need to savor this.

We are actually out of it Saturday
afternoon.

Nothing to do. This is big. This is
wonderful.

It's going to be a big, wonderful day.

Do you know them? Well, yes, I do. I met
him last week when I got him out of

jail. That's Frankie and Johnny?

Well, it's Johnny, but it's not Frankie.

As a condition of their release from
jail, Frankie and Johnny were supposed

attend drug and alcohol counseling,
which started today.

Well, maybe he's already gone.

The outpatient program is eight
consecutive Saturdays from 9 to 5.

Big, wonderful Saturday.

As soon as I ruin his.

this high. Well, you have to when you
date boys.

Why? To be as tall as a boy.

I guess I'll just date short people.

How short?

Pretty short. Not circus short, but
short.

No, definitely not circus short.

Rachel will be here pretty soon.

Can't wait for you to meet her. I
thought it was just going to be us. It

going to be us. Us and Rachel.

I don't like kids.

I like adults.

Adults can drive you places, and adults
have money.

And adults can get you into PG -13
movies.

Adults are good.

Kids, not so good.

But I'm a kid. Well, you're different.

I should just go.

Come on, I want you to meet Rachel.

I want us all to be friends.

Look who's here.

Rachel!

Rachel, this is Sarah. Sarah, this is
Rachel.

What do you say you guys go outside and
I'll prepare picnic lunch for you?

I don't eat outside.

It's a bug thing.

Then we'll have an indoor picnic.

With orange soda? I love orange soda.

I don't like orange soda. And neither
does Ruthie. Ruthie likes orange soda.

Anybody want a cookie?

Ruthie's my best friend, and I think I
know if she likes orange soda.

She was my best friend first.

But you obviously don't know her as well
as I do.

Yes, I do. No, you don't.

Really. Tasty cookies are so warm. Yum.

What's Ruthie's favorite color?

Blue. Purple.

What if you want to be her and she grows
up?

A vet?

Queen Elizabeth.

I told you you don't know her. I know
her.

She's a dancer and an artist.

And she loves to ride horses. She's my
best friend. She likes to ride stories,

ride bikes, and explore.

That's the real Ruthie. That's the
Ruthie who's my best friend.

Ruthie isn't who you think she is.

No, Ruthie isn't who you think she is.

Do you like to ride bikes, ride stories,
and drink orange soda?

I told you I don't like kids.

Well, they seem to be getting along
great.

What are you, blind?

What do you think?

I think Mom's going to kill you when she
finds out you cut the sleeves off of

one of your good church shirts.

It's my shirt.

Not until you pay for it, which you're
going to have to do when Mom sees you

the sleeves off.

Hello? Hello.

They're not available. May I take a
message?

Hank, I know it's you.

Hi.

Hi.

Is everything okay? You called five
minutes ago.

Julie called ten minutes ago.

Everything is fine.

Good.

That was your daddy. He's crazy, but he
loves you.

Not funny.

I am

definitely not charging enough.

Are we just going to follow him around
all day?

Look, I know you wanted to spend the day
just being free and having fun, but I

gave my word to the court and put my
reputation on the line to get Frankie

Johnny out of jail.

He promised me he'd go to counseling.

Why didn't you just go over and talk to
him?

That's not how I do it.

I don't want to ruin your Saturday, so
if you want to go, we can go.

Mary promised that you'd stay away from
him, right?

Yeah, Mary promised, but she promises a
lot of things.

Pass the menu.

Okay, Heather wasn't home.

So you weren't able to do anything
stupid.

I went to the library and got Kim's
phone number. So you were able to do

something stupid.

I told the head librarian that Kim took
one of my books and I needed to get it

back because I have a test tomorrow.

That's why I needed her phone number.

I'm good.

Hey, James Bond, you didn't save the
world. You got an elderly woman with a

hearing aid to give you a phone number.
And an address.

You know, I can't decide which to do.

Call her or just go over to her
apartment.

The decisions of a stalker. I'm not
stalking her. I just want to talk to

You say tomato, I say tomato.

Hello? Hi, Kim. It's Matt Camden from
the library.

How did you get my number? It's
unlisted.

The head librarian gave it to me.

She shouldn't have done that. It's
unlisted for a reason.

Look, no offense, but just... Please,
leave me alone, okay?

Maybe she thinks I'm on the rebound from
Heather.

Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Maybe she just
doesn't like you.

Hello? How's everything going?

Oh, I'm fine. The babies are fine. I
just wish everyone would stop calling.

Babies? Oh, did I say babies?

Yes, you said babies.

Oh, it's a mistake. It's just Erica. No
one else. No other babies.

Okay. Well, I better go.

Bye.

That was called lying to your mother.

Speaking of mommies, where are yours?

The

clothes

thing isn't working. The hair thing
isn't working.

Maybe I should just give up.

No, I think I know something that you
could do. Something manly, but it is

pretty radical.

Can you get out of the house?

My parents aren't home.

Good. Because this is definitely not
something your parents would let you do.

Cool. Where do I have to go? 47 Maple
Street, my cousin's house.

I'll meet you there.

I'm on my way.

Mary seems to be doing okay.

And Lucy and Simon?

Well, Simon's not helping Lucy much, but
it sounds like she's got everything

under control.

Thank you.

Look, I know the menu says free refills,
but I think I'm going to have to cut

you guys off.

So, uh, what are you going to do about
Johnny?

Well, aside from smoking a carton of
cigarettes and half making out with a

who isn't his wife, he's not really
doing anything.

So are you going to confront him?

Not yet.

Timing is everything.

I basically have two choices.

Drink it or leave it alone.

You're right.

What was I thinking? No beer.

I don't even know why I opened it.

I mean, I would like a beer, but now
would not be the time for one.

But if I don't drink it, it'll just go
to waste.

That seems wrong.

Johnny?

Hey, you're that priest guy who, uh...
Minister.

I'm a minister, and I'm Mary's father,
Eric Camden, and, yes, I'm the

person who got you out of jail last
week.

Thanks, man. I owe you.

Have you forgotten about your drug and
alcohol counseling session today? Was

that today?

Yeah, I really don't need that
counseling crap.

Really?

No.

I knew it. I knew you were cheating on
me. I wasn't cheating.

Loving Candid?

I should have dumped you when I had the
chance, and I should have done it before

you ruined my life.

Oh, come on.

Don't say that because it isn't true.

You ruined my life, so shut up. I'll say
what I want.

Two -timing loser.

Don't call me a loser.

Loser. I said shut up. Loser. I said
shut up. Make me. I will.

You want me to call the police? No.

I told you, timing is everything.

How's the sleepover going?

So bad, I wish I could leave.

Sorry. No matter what I do, Rachel and
Sarah just hate each other.

So now I have two best friends who can't
stand to be in the same room.

Maybe I could talk to Sarah and Rachel.

I don't think that'll do any good.

Have you seen Simon?

I haven't seen him for hours. Where
could he be?

So what do you think?

I like it.

Are you Matt Camden?

Yeah, I'm looking for Kim.

I'm Kim's brother.

Oh, I didn't know she lived with her
brother. I don't live here.

She asked me to come over.

Oh, well, is Kim home? I wanted to talk
to her. She doesn't want to talk to you.

She's scared of you.

Look, I just want to just leave, okay?

I just wanted to talk to her. What's
wrong with you?

What kind of guy harasses a blind woman?

Blind? Yes, blind.

Kim, my sister has RP, retinitis
pigmentosa.

I don't know. Maybe you should talk to
her.

Sorry.

Look, you promised me and the jug and
the police no more drug, no more

no more fighting, no more trouble. And
because you promised all of that, I used

my good word.

I got you out of jail. So you could do
what?

Mess around with your girlfriend? Beat
up your wife?

What are you doing?

What do you mean? What are you doing
with that man?

Johnny is a great husband and father. He
tried to hit you. He would have hit you

if my husband hadn't stepped in. But I
love him, okay? Do you love your baby?

Of course I love her.

Then why do you keep putting her at
risk? If Johnny had hit you or someone

called the police, you and Johnny would
be in jail right now.

If that happened, what would happen to
Mercy?

You don't understand what Frankie's
like.

She's always fighting with me. The
baby's always crying.

She calls me lazy, and sometimes I just
can't take it.

That's what happened today.

We had a fight, and I left.

None of this is my fault.

I didn't want a baby.

I didn't want to get married.

But you did want to have sex, right? I
mean, that you did want.

You just didn't want the responsibility
that comes with the sex.

Great husbands don't smoke pot, cheat,
hit their wives.

Open your eyes, Frankie, and see who
you're really married to before it's too

late.

When you look in the mirror, what kind
of a man do you see looking back at you?

Because I see a man with a lot of
problems, none of which he's willing to

address. I see a man in trouble, on the
edge.

A man who's capable of hitting his wife,
maybe even his baby.

I see a man with a substance abuse
problem.

I see a man who lies and cheats and
makes excuses.

I see a man who lied to me and who lies
to himself every day.

I see a man who needs help but refuses
to get any.

Are you actually suggesting that I leave
Johnny?

I can't raise a kid on my own. You can't
raise a kid with a man who hits you.

You can't.

Mercy will grow up thinking that's what
women do. They get hit. Is that what you

want to teach her?

He needs help.

You need help.

You have to see that.

I love him.

Do you love yourself enough to give up a
life that's hurting your daughter?

Can I ask what happened?

Well...

About six months ago, it started getting
harder for me to see at night, so I

went to the eye doctor, and after a
bunch of tests, he diagnosed me as being

the early stages of retinitis
pigmentosa.

RP?

Wow.

I can still see in very bright light,
but I do have night blindness.

I'm lucky. My RP is progressing very
slowly.

If I'm very lucky, this will be as bad
as my eyesight will get.

Some people with RP lose their eyesight
completely in a matter of months.

Other people lose a percentage of their
eyesight permanently.

There's about 70 different types of RP.

Well, is there some cure for RP or some
medical treatment?

No, there's no cure.

But there's a lot of promising research,
and hopefully scientists will come up

with something.

So you didn't want to have coffee with
me because you have RP?

Not exactly.

I thought...

Maybe you were into women with
disabilities.

What?

Well, Heather's deaf, and I'm... I'm not
into women with disabilities. I'm just

into women.

So you don't want to date me. The
friends thing probably won't work.

We could become study partners.

Maybe we just got off to a bad start,
but I don't really feel comfortable

studying with you.

Sorry.

Okay.

So can I still speak to you if I see you
on campus?

Not if I see you first.

That was a joke.

Lost my sight, not my sense of humor.

So all you can tell us, operator, is
that the

phone is off the hook.

Yes. Yes.

Thank you.

I'm sure everything's fine.

Right. Right. Nothing to worry about.

You get the check. I'll get the car. We
have an order.

Right. Let's go.

Ruthie will be back in a couple of
minutes.

So? We need to talk.

Okay. Look, this house isn't big enough
for the both of us.

True.

One of us has to leave.

True. Bye.

I'm not leaving. Well, I'm not leaving.

Look, both of us can't be Ruthie's best
friend.

Best implies one, not two.

One of us has to stop being Ruthie's
friend.

I have been watching and listening to
you guys all day, and a couple of things

are clear.

You both like Ruthie, and you both have
a different relationship with Ruthie.

Which happens. Different people see
different things in you and bring out

different qualities.

And... No offense, but if I wanted a
back -to -school special lecture, I'd

on my TV.

Okay.

You, be quiet for a second and listen to
me.

And you.

Well, you like adults.

And I'm an adult.

A very tired adult who's tired of having
to listen to you and Rachel fight.

I need a time out. An adult time out.

Which will only happen if you both go
home.

Now. Right away.

I will call your parents. I will tell
them whatever you want me to tell them.

But please, just go home.

I promise Ruthie we'll have you both
over again.

Separately.

Okay.

Okay. Ruthie! Your friends want to talk
to you!

I'm sorry for everything.

And for cheating on you, for almost
hitting you.

For everything.

I know you're sorry.

Unless we tell Mary's parents what they
want to hear, we're never going to get

rid of them.

Let me do the talking.

Johnny and I are going to sign up for
marriage counseling.

We both see that we're in way over our
heads and we need some professional

And we're going to show up for all of
our court -appointed drug and alcohol

counseling.

We'll find out how we can make up for
missing today.

We're serious about cleaning up our
lives.

And Johnny swears that he'll never hit
me or anyone else again.

My fighting days are over.

We'd like to thank you both for helping
us again.

Yeah, thanks.

Annie and I would greatly appreciate it
if you stayed away from Mary until

you... I won't even call Mary until
Johnny and I are doing better.

How did Mary ever become friends with
those two? They have absolutely nothing

common with her.

She doesn't have anything in common with
them, right?

Where have you been? I've been looking
for you for hours.

I went out.

You went out?

You aren't allowed to just go out on a
Saturday night by yourself.

Why are you so happy?

Oh, come on. Don't you see something
different about me?

Don't you, don't you, don't you? Come
on, look.

I don't see anything different.

You didn't. I did.

You didn't.

My friend Jim has a cousin who does ear
piercing and tattoos.

Tattoos? No, no, no. I didn't get a
tattoo. I just pierced my ear.

Just pierced your ear?

Mom and Dad are going to kill you.

Or me.

Or the both of us.

Hi, I'm Simon.

Simon Camden.

Super cool guy.

Mr. Cool.

Yeah.

How long have you been up there?

And who does this baby belong to?

And more importantly, who does this
belong to?

Erica down. She seems to be okay.

I knew we shouldn't have gone out.

I knew it. Nothing happened.

Please don't overreact.

Mercy is my friend Frankie's baby.

Would that be your recently arrested pot
-smoking friend Frankie? The police

dropped the charges.

I don't care.

Frankie had an emergency and she didn't
have anyone to leave the baby with.

This was a mistake. I'm never leaving
Erica again, ever.

Please don't say that.

We come home, the house is a mess, the
baby is a mess.

There's another baby here we don't even
know.

And after we told you no visitors, you
have a friend over who was arrested for

drug possession.

And you were drinking.

What is wrong with you? The beer wasn't
mine. It was Frankie's. Frankie drank

it. That's your defense?

The beer belongs to my pot -smoking
friend? How stupid do you think we are?

Okay, let's forget the fact that I'm a
recovering alcoholic.

And the sight of alcohol in my house
doesn't exactly make me happy.

Let's assume you're telling the truth.

It's not your beer.

Let's talk about how you, my underage
niece, would come to have another

friend who has beer.

What is going on with you?

Who are you?

Look, I am really sorry for tonight.

And I swear, if you will just forget
about the whole evening, the beer, the

babies, my friend Frankie, I give you my
word that it will never happen again.

I think you should go home.

Don't tell Mom and Dad about tonight.

We have to think about that.

Great. Just think about it.

Please.

And, uh, don't worry about paying me.
Tonight's no charge.

Go home, Mary.

What happened to your eye?

It's a long story. The kitchen looks
great.

How's everything going?

There's leftover dinner in the fridge.
Sam and David are in bed. The living

is picked up, and I just threw in a load
of clothes.

Oh, great.

Well, I got something not so great to
tell you about.

Oh.

Who beat you up?

Nobody beat me up.

Somebody hit me by accident.

Can I touch it? No.

You cannot touch it.

How's the sleepover going?

It's over.

Rachel and Sarah went home.

Sarah and Rachel's parents picked them
up an hour ago.

They're almost having any fun.

Oh, you don't seem that upset about it.
Sarah and Rachel don't like each other.

But they both like me, so it's okay.

Oh.

She's good.

And not so good.

What'd you do?

I got my ear pierced.

Sorry.

You look like a girl.

So, how did your evening of stalking go?

She's blind.

Did you mean it when you said you're
never going to leave Erica again?

Yes. And no.

Just give me time.

You know, I don't know if I believe
Mary.

I think we should tell Eric and Annie
about her, about the beer, and that

still hanging out with Frankie.

I hate to get her in trouble.

If this were an isolated incident, she
wasn't drunk.

She could be telling the truth.

But if she is in trouble and we don't do
anything, how are we going to feel

later that we knew she was in trouble
and we did nothing?

But if I take it out, the hole will
close up.

Exactly. That's not fair. Why can't I
keep the earring?

Because you look like a girl.

You went out of the house tonight
without our permission.

You went to the house of someone we
don't know and have never met.

At that house, you allowed that someone
who we don't know to pierce your ear. Be

grateful that the only thing we're doing
is making you take your earring out.

Fine.

I'm really sorry.

I tried to take care of everyone, but I
screwed up. I'm sorry about Simon and

the earring.

You weren't in charge of Simon. Simon
was in charge of Simon.

He may see himself as a man, but he has
to act like a man before anyone else is

going to see him that way. A man would
have helped you tonight. A man wouldn't

have sneaked out of the house and gotten
his ear pierced without permission.

You did a great job, Luz, a really great
job.

Thanks.

So are you available next weekend?

Man, I gotta get a boyfriend.

You hit my dad?

Great! It's okay.

We promised we'd do that counseling crap
and stop drinking.

And...

That's it.

Your parents bought it. Oh, and they
made us promise not to hang out with

too.

If my aunt or uncle tells my mom or dad
that I was babysitting for you or that I

had that beer, they're going... Stop
worrying.

They won't say anything.

You need to just kick back and relax a
little.

You're way too tense.

The last time you guys helped me kick
back a little, a cop stopped me on the

home. I'm not drinking.

I'm not talking about beer.

You said you and Johnny weren't going to
smoke pot anymore.

We're quitting. We just don't want to
waste the rest of this cash.

So after we're finished smoking it all,
that's it. No more.

Do you want to join us?

It's just like having a beer.

It chills you, but you don't lose
control.

Don't do anything you don't want to do.

Yeah, if you don't want me, that's just
more for us.

So what do you say?
