I'm glad your dad is finally coming home from Iraq.

I still can't believe it.

I'm going to miss having you around.

Hey, I'll just be across the street.

So, are the renters moving out of your aunt's house?

And my dad and I are moving in.

It's going to be weird not having you around all the time.

Yeah, I'm going to miss living here, too.

George! How are you?

Oh, as a matter of fact, I couldn't be better.

It's been a long time.

Too long.

Gwen and I have been busy. You have?

Yes, we signed up for one of the church's

foster care information classes last year.

Oh, that's great.

And we went through the process,

and we became licensed foster parents.

Well, you have been busy.

We just got word yesterday that all our paperwork

has gone through and we've been cleared to take a placement,

a child, so now all we have to do is find a child.

Foster parents. I-I-I'm really happy for you.

Well, actually, we're becoming foster parents

with the hopes of adopting.

Ever since Cecilia left for college,

the house just seems so empty and we have so much room,

and Gwen and I thought, well, you know,

there has to be a child out there somewhere

who wants parents, and here we are, parents who want a child.

Good for you, for both of you.

We just started looking.

It may take a while to find the right placement,

but you know, we don't want a baby.

We want an older child... a boy.

What age are you thinking?

Maybe nine or ten.

I think I might have the perfect child for you.

You do? Yeah, I do.

Well, then, it was very good luck

that we ran into each other.

Simon, it's Rose.

Call me.

Simon, it's me again.

Okay, you're not there.

Well, just call me as soon as you get home.

Did you have work tonight?

Sorry, I just want to talk to you.

Me again. Last time, I swear.

But I just remembered that you aren't working.

So, where are you?

What's going on with us?

And why won't you call me back?

I'm curious, do you ever work when you're at work,

or is this just a place to make phone calls and study?

Actually, I-I work in between the phone calls and studying.

Matt, here.

Some guy named Carlos called for you twice.

Left this number.

My brother-in-law Carlos?

Oh, let me consult my crystal ball.

I don't know who your brother-in-law is,

but this Carlos spoke with a Spanish accent

and the message was for you to come by the apartment

as soon as you could and call if you couldn't.

He said it was important.

Sounds like my brother-in-law.

At least I hope he's still my brother-in-law.

Stop slamming all the drawers. I just put Savannah down.

Where are my t-shirts?

In the closet.

What are my t-shirts doing in the closet?

Well, we don't have enough room in here

for all of our stuff and Savannah's stuff,

and the older Savannah gets, the more stuff she has,

so I'm storing some of our things in the closet.

I don't see any of your stuff stored in the closet.

And Savannah is a baby and has one room all to herself.

You and I are two grown adults and we're sharing a room.

Why can't we store things in Savannah's room?

I don't want to crowd her.

You don't want to crowd her?!

And us? What about us?

Do I have to want until Savannah goes to college

before I get more living space?

We're not going to live here forever.

We're going to move.

I want to move. I do.

Don't tease. I'm not teasing.

Look, you said we were going to move before.

A couple weeks ago, as a matter of fact,

and well, we're still here, aren't we?

What do I have to do to prove to you that I want to move?

You're serious? Yes.

Okay, then I'll call the Realtor right now

and get some new listings.

No. I knew it.

We're moving.

You, me and Savannah.

We're a family and we need a home of our own.

But, this time around, I want to be totally involved.

I want to call the Realtor and get the listings.

Well, aren't you happy.

Why are you happy?

Mmm...

No, I don't want to jinx it by talking about it,

but if everything works out, it will be further proof

that God truly does work in mysterious ways.

Hey, I made your favorite sandwiches.

Peanut butter and bananas.

What is going on with you two?

You've been moping around the house all week.

We don't want Martin to move away.

He's our brother.

Yeah, and we're running out of family.

Why does everyone move away?

Don't they like us?

Oh, your brothers and your sisters and Martin,

they love you very much,

but eventually, all kids want to move away

from mommy and daddy's home

and-and make a home of their own.

Believe it or not,

you and Sam will want to move away, too, someday.

No, we're going to live with you and Daddy forever,

just like Lucy.

What about me?

We're going to live

with Mommy and Daddy forever, just like you.

Sorry, guys, Kevin and I are moving.

Really?

I'm calling the Realtor today.

Oh, that's great, really great. I can't wait to tell Eric.

I'm just happy that you and Savannah and Kevin

are finally going to have a home of your own.

Um, can you keep an eye on Savannah for me?

Kevin hasn't officially taken over day shift duties yet.

Oh, let me just drop the boys off at school.

Thanks.

I have a great idea:

While you're waiting for me to get back,

you could call the Realtor.

Mom?

Yeah...? Back off.

Ooh!

Hey.

Look, I need a favor.

Okay.

Who you looking for?

Ruthie.

Oh, you just missed her. She went...

No, I'm-I'm not looking for Ruthie.

I'm looking out for Ruthie.

I need to talk to you

alone a-about...

Hey, Vincent.

Oh, hi.

Did you get my message last night?

No.

I wanted to make sure we were still on for tonight.

Our date?

Our first date since being punished?

It's been a month.

R-Right. I-I thought we had another week.

No.

So...

I'll pick you up after dinner.

I have to go to class, so what favor do you need?

What-What are you talking about?

The favor.

I-I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay, what was that about?

I have no idea.

George...

This is Danny Davis.

Danny, this is the friend I was telling you about: George Smith.

It's nice to meet you, Danny.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith.

Oh, it's George. George.

And my wife had to take her mother

to a doctor's appointment, so she won't be able

to go out with us today, but, uh,

she's looking forward to meeting you very soon.

Okay. So...

Danny, what would you like to do?

Move in with you and your wife.

Why don't we have lunch

and then we'll see where the day takes us?

As long as the day takes me out of the group home, fine by me.

Okay, okay...

Rose.

Hello, stranger.

How did you get in?

The landlord let me in.

I told him I'm your girlfriend.

I am your girlfriend, aren't I?

Then why haven't you been returning my calls?

So...

Do you want to tell me what's going on with you,

or do you want me to guess?

Hey.

I got your message.

Yeah.

I'm sorry to call you at work.

It's just... I'm only in town until tomorrow.

Tomorrow? You're leaving?

Yeah.

Furniture is in storage.

Just in case I ever decide to come back.

I take it the trial separation is over.

Mary and I filed for divorce last week.

And you're leaving New York? Tomorrow night.

Do you need a place to stay tonight?

No... Thanks. I got a room at a hotel near the airport.

Where are you going? Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico?

What about your job?

Well, I work for my father in a family business.

The business is based in Puerto Rico.

It'll be easier for me to do my job living in Puerto Rico.

I was only in New York for Mary and her job.

I wish there was something I could do or say to fix this.

No, that, that... I've done it all; I've said it all.

It's over.

And right now, I just need to move on.

And those boxes in the corner are just, you know,

some things Mary left behind.

Just, you know, take them or leave them or whatever.

Goodwill will be here tomorrow to pick up whatever is left.

What, so, that's why you called?

You wanted me to pick up Mary's boxes?

Well, yeah, that and, um...

I need you to tell your parents about the divorce.

Me? Wh-Why me?

Well, because Mary should have done it.

But she refused. And I-I can't do it.

I can't talk to your parents right now.

She's your sister. It's your family,

so I'm afraid it's your responsibility now.

Is Mary ever going to come back from London?

She's in Chicago.

What happened to London?

She was training in London.

The job she was training for is in Chicago.

What about Charlie?

We can't stay together for him.

And lots of kids have to deal with stuff like this.

He'll be fine.

He'll have me.

But you'll be far away.

I mean, too far away to have a real relationship with him.

Too far away to be a real father to him.

Charlie isn't going to be far away from me.

What's that supposed to mean?

Carlos?

Hey, you two.

What's up?

Sam?

David? Hello?

We're not talking to you.

Why is that?

We need to get used to you not being here.

They don't want you to move out.

It's just across the street.

I know, but they're six years old,

so, to them, across the street is across the country.

Hello?

Oh, Ruthie, yeah,

I think she's probably upstair...

Oh, yeah, hold on, he's right here.

It's Vincent. For you.

Hello.

Are you alone? Yeah.

Good. What is going on with you?

I need to talk to you about Ruthie,

without Ruthie knowing I'm talking to you.

I want no part of whatever you're up to.

Good-bye, Vincent.

Did you like the movie?

No.

Oh, I thought you'd like it.

I don't like animation.

Well, why didn't you say something?

I thought you liked it.

Well, next time you speak up, okay?

Does this mean there'll be a next time?

Absolutely.

Great, when can I move in with you and your wife?

I think you should meet my wife first.

And make sure you like her.

Is she an alcoholic?

No.

Then I'm sure I'm going to like her.

When can I bring my stuff over?

Why don't we get our ice cream

and then we'll head over to my house.

Gwen, my wife, is probably home right now

and you can meet her.

Now you're talkin'.

All right.

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

If your wife likes me

and you guys decide to be my new foster parents,

can my sister move in with us, too?

You have a sister?

She's in a different group home.

Because she's in a wheelchair.

Hello.

Luce, good news... I heard from the Realtor

and she has some listings she wants to show us.

The Realtor called you?

Yes.

Maybe.

Okay, I called the Realtor,

but it's just because I'm excited

and I want to move the process along.

I told you, I wanted to handle

the house buying this time around.

You're stalling.

We just talked about it this morning!

How exactly am I stalling?

Because I called a Realtor and you haven't.

That's stalling.

I had to do some work for my dad this morning,

and one of the girls in my teen empowerment class

had an emergency.

I'm going over some paperwork right now,

but I said I will call the Realtor,

and I will call the Realtor when I have a spare moment.

You don't believe me.

No, I don't, but could we save the fight

we're about to have and add it on to the fight

we're going to have when you tell me

that you don't really want

to move out of your parents' house?

I will call.

Whatever you say.

Look, if you don't want to see me anymore,

you don't have to lie.

You can just break up with me.

I do want to see you.

I like you a lot.

So you like me and I like you,

but, all of a sudden, you're not returning my phone calls,

and now, when we are together, you're pushing me away.

I'm not pushing you away.

Well, the last time we were alone together

you practically ran out the door.

And now that we're alone together again,

you're all nervous and weird.

Well, it's just that it seems like after a few dates,

our relationship is going in a direction

I'm not that comfortable with.

I can't have sex with you.

Can't?

What's that mean?

Who's stopping you?

I am.

But we don't have to have sex to date, do we?

Okay, see, to me the difference between a friend

and a boyfriend is usually sex.

Is this an elaborate way

of saying you just want to be friends?

No.

I like you, and not like a friend but...

But you don't want to sleep with me.

Not don't; can't.

We have been talking for hours and I'm still so confused.

I want to be with you

but I can't sleep with you.

Yeah, that I get.

It's the "why" I'm having trouble with.

It's complicated.

I'm very intelligent.

I just can't tell you.

So you can't explain

why you can't have sex with me,

but you want to have sex with me?

Exactly.

Bye, Simon. Don't go.

Then just stop with the double-talk,

and tell me what's going on with you.

I'll see you around.

Hello... Dad.

Kelly?

In the flesh.

You know, Danny told me you had a good sense of humor.

He told me you didn't know about me.

I can be packed in an hour.

I see the family resemblance.

So you're here,

does that mean you're taking all of us?

"All of us"?

Danny didn't tell you about Meredith?

I hope Meredith is your dog.

We don't have a dog.

Meredith is my older sister.

She lives in another group home.

You know,

Reverend Camden didn't mention

that Danny had such a large family.

Hello.

Hi, Dad. What's wrong?

Why would you automatically assume something's wrong?

Uh, experience.

I'm just calling to see how you are.

I'm fine. What's wrong?

Everything's fine.

"Everything" meaning...

that not everyone is fine?

I, I didn't say that.

You didn't deny it either.

Are you gonna tell me what's wrong?

Okay...

All right, great... "20 Questions"... my favorite.

Well... let's start with you.

Are-Are you okay?

Sarah?

Sarah's parents?

All fine.

Here's an oldie but a goodie: Simon.

Is there something wrong with Simon?

As far as I know, no.

Well...

I know that Ruthie and Martin and Kevin and Lucy

and the... and the twins are okay,

so that just leaves...

Oh, I don't know...

Mary and Carlos?

Silence equals a possible yes.

Have-Have you heard from Carlos... Mary?

Matt, enough.

You already did the let's keep-the-bad-news-

from-mom-and-dad- no-matter-what farce,

and it-it just... it didn't work.

So, if you have some bad news

about Carlos and Mary, just tell me.

Dad...

I just got paged.

You're lying.

Maybe, but I've got to go.

I had fun tonight.

Me, too.

I-I think I'm getting a cold.

Oh.

Good night, Ruthie.

I need you to get Ruthie to break up with me.

What?

I need you to get Ruthie to break up with me.

You're breaking up with Ruthie... again?

What is it with you two?

I'm not breaking up with Ruthie.

I can't break up with her.

The last time I broke up with her,

I made her cry and she yelled at me in the pool hall,

and people stared and, look,

I felt like a loser for hurting her.

But, if you can get her to break up with me,

then she doesn't cry and yell and everybody's happy.

I'm not happy and I'm not getting involved.

Hey, you got us together.

So now I have to break the two of you up?

Nice try but I don't think so.

Look, you say she's like a sister to you.

Do you want to see your sister hurt and crying again?

I don't want to upset her.

Okay? I care about her.

But not enough to date her.

I, I, I met somebody else.

I could meet somebody else.

Because, look,

I'm spending the summer in Hawaii with my grandparents.

And I guess, to meet someone else in Hawaii,

I need to not be dating Ruthie here.

So, will you help me?

No.

But against my better judgment,

I will help Ruthie.

Although I don't know how I'm going to get her

to break up with you; she really likes you.

Just point out my bad qualities.

You really want to do this... again?

Yeah, I do.

You should go now,

because the urge to hit you is growing stronger.

Danny called; he told me the good news.

He said that you were going to be our new foster dad.

Well, I'm gonna see what I can do

for you and Danny and your sister.

And I called Christina and she really wants to meet you.

She's great; she's in college on a scholarship.

She's really smart.

She only comes home every once in a while now,

but when we move in with you, we'll have a home

where we can all be together, so she's probably gonna want to

come home every weekend.

That's okay, right, if she comes home every weekend?

Christina would be...?

Our eldest sister?

She's in college with Simon Camden.

Sorry I'm late.

How's Savannah?

Clean, fed and asleep.

I'm gonna go look in on her.

I talked to Kevin.

And?

Did you call the Realtor today?

Well, I was a little busy, but I'm going to call.

But you didn't and you were gonna move and you haven't.

Tell me, Mom, why do you want us out of the house so badly?

Is it really that inconvenient,

us living here?

Look, I don't want you to go and I'm gonna miss

all of you very much when you do go.

But you and Kevin...

What about us?

You're two people living in one small room.

That's stressful.

Kevin and I are fine.

Mary and Carlos were fine at one point, too.

Mom, Kevin and I aren't Mary and Carlos.

And Mary and Carlos aren't on a trial separation

because of real estate matters.

I already have one daughter with marital problems.

I don't want to have another one.

That's why I want you to move.

That's why you need to move,

before what seems like a small problem, living here,

turns into a big problem

and then who knows what would happen.

Mom, Mary and Carlos are gonna work out their problems.

Mary is Mary, but she's a mother and she's a wife,

and she has responsibilities.

You don't just wake up one day

and pretend that you don't have a family.

Mary will come around.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna go check on my daughter

and then I'm gonna call the Realtor, okay?

You're back?

Are you glad?

Yeah. Do you want to come in?

If I do, it's not to play board games

or watch TV or hold hands.

I don't want to lose you.

So, does that mean you want me to come in?

Yeah.

Simon, I...

You conned me.

You're a man of God and you conned me!

Isn't there some rule against that?

Can a minister be a grifter?

We can't take four kids.

We're not prepared to do it.

It's only three.

Christina would like to visit

on weekends and college breaks.

She called me this morning.

They're good kids.

They're great kids

but Gwen and I can't take them all in.

We're new to foster care.

We want to get our bearings, not get in over our heads.

And what if we took 'em all and we couldn't handle it?

And then we had to send them all back?

That would be just terrible for them and for us.

It's just that you mentioned your big, empty house

and I thought maybe you could fill it

with the Davis children.

Look...

they're all funny, sweet, energetic kids

and in a perfect world, we would take them all.

But Gwen and I can only do what we could do.

We would still like to take Danny in

if he wants to live with us.

I'm sure he does.

And his sisters can come visit

and we'll take him to visit his sisters

as much as he wants.

I know, I know you will.

It's just Eric, I...

I can't tell Danny and his sisters

that we're only taking Danny.

Could you bring them by the church later today

and help me explain?

Well, I did get you into this.

I should help get you out.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I-I'm sorry, too.

You know, I probably would have done the same thing

if I'd been in your shoes.

There must be something I can do or you can do, or my family can do

to stop this divorce.

There isn't anything anyone can do.

I don't think this is what you want.

This has never been about what I want.

Mary is the one who left me.

She's the one that moved to London,

she's the one that doesn't want to be married.

She's the one that doesn't want to be a mom, okay?!

So, don't blame me because I'm just the idiot

who fell in love with her and married her

and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

I have done everything I can

and I've waited longer than most would have waited.

Mary wants what she wants

and apparently she doesn't want me or Charlie anymore.

I'm sorry, it's...

it's just that this is not how we were raised.

We don't run away from responsibility.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, too.

I want to yell at Mary, not you.

Yeah, maybe I could talk to Mary.

She listens to me sometimes.

And what would you say to her?

Grow up?

Be responsible, be an adult?

Hey, be a mother, honor your wedding vows.

She won't listen to me, she won't listen to anyone.

Have you told your parents yet?

About the divorce, about Charlie?

I-I tried.

Please, I'm counting on you.

When my mom and dad hear about this,

it's gonna kill them.

It's not just not the divorce,

but when they hear about Charlie?

It's going to kill them!

All right, considering your father's cardiac history,

can you stop using the word "kill"?

My parents survived, I survived, Charlie survived.

Look, your parents and the rest of your family won't be happy.

But they'll survive, too.

If you can't do it, I'll call them for you.

But I think they'll take the news much better

coming from you than from me.

How are things going with Zoe?

Good, I like her.

Yeah, she's nice.

How are things going with Vincent?

I'm so happy.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh. What?

Nothing.

No, what were you trying to say?

You like him and that's all that matters.

So, you don't like him?

No, he's fine.

Fine?

What don't you like about him?

Let's just go get some lunch.

My treat. No!

Tell me what you don't like about my boyfriend.

Well...

He's a bit demanding, isn't he?

And he's not very athletic.

I mean, I kind of thought you might end up with a jock,

not a... Vincent.

And?

Well...

I probably shouldn't tell you this but I think

I saw him smoking with some kids from school.

I know how you feel about smoking.

Smoking?

And have you ever noticed how big his head is?

I mean, it's not normal.

I'm just saying I think you could do better.

You do?

You belong with someone who

fits in with your lifestyle and your family better.

You think? Yeah.

But you're never gonna meet that perfect guy

who's just out there waiting for you,

as long as you're dating Vincent.

So you think I should break up with him?

Why not?

Just tell him it's not working out.

Just tell him you're moving on to bigger and better things.

Bigger and better? Absolutely.

You seem to feel pretty strongly about this,

me breaking up with Vincent.

I care about you.

Hey, uh, will you keep an eye on Savannah?

She's down for a nap.

Sure. Where are you two off to?

To meet the Realtor.

Good for you, both of you.

Well, I said I'd call and I called.

What's wrong? We thought all our brothers and sisters

were leaving because they wanted to.

But it's you!

You want everyone to leave!

You know, no one is going to believe

that I spent all night with you, again,

and all we did was eat spaghetti and slow dance.

Who cares what other people think?

Simon, what's going on with you?

Why won't you sleep with me?

I told you, it's complicated.

And personal.

We were going to have sex last night.

That's pretty personal.

I'm sorry, but I just can't do what you want me to do.

Can't or don't want to?

Want to, but can't?

Is there something wrong with you?

Physically?

No, I'm fine.

But I...

I...

I have to get ready for work.

You know, it's not what you're thinking.

How do you know that?

Because there's no possible way in the world you could be

thinking of the reason why I won't sleep with you.

Based on your reputation,

I never thought you'd play this hard to get.

God... help me.

No, really, God, please, help me.

I'm not going without my sisters.

You're going to go home with George

and you're not going to worry about me or Kelly or Christina.

But we're a family.

Yeah, but we can't all be together

and you're not going to blow this opportunity.

Danny, we've always made due with what we have

even if what we have is nothing.

We're not angry with you that you can't take the rest of us.

Just promise that you're gonna take

really good care of our baby brother.

Yeah, take care of him.

I can't go off and live

in some nice house with nice parents knowing

that you guys will be stuck in a group home.

It's okay.

Kelly and I are gonna be okay.

You know, it's-it's not okay.

You're all coming home with me.

I mean it; I do.

We have the room.

We're taking all of you.

Really?

Don't do it just 'cause you feel sorry for us.

No, I'm doing it because you all belong together.

And I'm doing it because...

You care about us?

Yeah.

And now let's go tell

my wife the good news,

because she's gonna be very surprised.

And I'll-I'll call Greta at social services

and get the paperwork going.

I'm sorry. I...

I... just never ever thought

I would have a dad.

I'm so old, and nobody's ever wanted me.

I want you.

Oh, for goodness sake.

What about this one?

Oh... too small.

What about this one?

Eh, too big.

Oh...

And this one?

This one is the perfect size, but, uh, backyard is tiny.

Oh, but, um,

this one has the perfect backyard,

but the house is too dark.

We can paint the house.

Well... it's dark on the inside,

because of all of the trees around the outside.

We can cut the trees down.

Well, I don't want to kill trees

that are, like, a hundred years old.

Oh, this house is great.

I loved it.

This is the perfect house for us.

But?

It's in the wrong school district.

We can send our kids to private school.

No, I don't want our kids in private school.

You do want me to find a house that I love, right?

Well, it might take me

some time to find that house.

How much time?

I don't know,

but I'm willing to look as long as it takes.

Hello?

Hey, Dad. Hey, Matt, I was just

going out the door. Can I call you back when I get home?

No. I might lose my nerve by then.

Nerve?

Mary and Carlos?

You want to tell me what's going on?

I don't want to, I have to.

Carlos asked me to.

Carlos?

Dad...

Mary and Carlos are getting a divorce,

and Carlos is moving to Puerto Rico.

Yeah, I can't say I'm surprised. I...

You-Your mom was kind of holding out hope

that Mary might come to her senses,

but I just didn't think that...

Like I said, I'm not surprised.

I'm sad, but I was kind of expecting it.

I have something to tell you you weren't expecting.

Look, there's no easy way to say this,

so I'll just say it.

Mary signed away custody of Charlie.

Charlie is gonna live in Puerto Rico

with Carlos permanently.

Are... Are you saying that Mary gave up her son?

Looks that way.

And she isn't in London anymore.

She transferred to Chicago.

I-I tried to call her, but she won't take my calls. I...

And I don't... I don't think she'll take any of our calls.

So, she won't talk to her family?

She left her husband, and she...

abandoned her child.

It gets worse.

How can it get worse?

Well... you have to tell Mom.

Would you guys like a snack?

No, thank you.

We could go to the park.

No, thank you.

We could go to the toy store.

No, thank you.

You know, I'm not making Lucy and Kevin

and Savannah leave, or Martin.

And I didn't make Matt and Mary and Simon leave.

We want our brothers and sisters back.

You made them leave.

Make them come back.

We need to talk.

Boy, do we need to talk.

I spent the day with Martin, and I've been thinking.

It's okay.

Tell me whatever you have to say.

I can take it.

Martin wants me to break up with you,

and I think he wants to date me.

What?!

No, I-I think you must have misunderstood.

I mean, he's-he's dating Zoe.

I mean, he's really into Zoe.

Trust me. He's really into me, too.

And I didn't even think about Zoe.

If he breaks up with her, I can't be the reason.

I'm not a home wrecker.

Ruthie, really, I...

I knew his dad coming home

and him moving out of the house would change our relationship.

I knew it.

So, would you tell him...?

Tell him that you and I would never break up, ever.

Oh, Eric, I'm so sorry.

Matt called?

No. Why would Matt be calling?

Is something wrong?

Uh, no... never... I just thought... eh, oh...

What's-What's... What's going on? Oh.

W-W... Why are you sorry?

Well, Greta called from social services,

and she missed you at the church.

Did she tell you

that Cecilia's parents are-are gonna foster the Davis children,

all of them, and that eventually they want to adopt?

That's the project I didn't want

to tell you about, 'cause I-I just...

I didn't want to jinx it.

The Davis mother found out

that her kids are going into a new foster home

and that the foster parents might adopt, and...

And?

Well, there's a problem.

So, why would Matt be calling me?

Is something going on?

Did Greta say what the problem is?

No.

I-I-I... I better call her.

What are you doing out here?

Your landlord isn't around.

Are you okay?

No. It's driving me crazy.

I have to know.

Look, I understand

that it's complicated and personal, but just tell me.

I don't have to sleep with you,

but I have to know why you won't sleep with me.

I made a promise to God.

I had a crisis a while back,

and I asked God for help, and in return, I promised

that I would change some of my ways... with women.

Well, that is personal and complicated,

and you're right.

I never in a million years would have guessed

that God is the reason you won't sleep with me.

See, I'm the only one in my family

to-to live my life this way; to have sex before marriage.

My brother, my-my sisters... They all waited.

And after my crisis,

I started thinking that maybe there was something

to the way that they live their lives,

at least their sex lives.

So I started to try

to live my life a little bit more like them

and a little bit less like me.

I think my other relationships failed

because there was a lack of commitment.

Well, now that you know everything,

I'll understand if you think I'm a weirdo,

and you want to leave,

and go and be with someone else you could have sex with.

Your brother Matt got married young?

Yeah, Matt fell in love on the first date.

And Mary, too... She married young?

And the one at home, married to the cop?

Lucy hadn't finished college when she got married.

Well, they definitely

live their lives differently from you.

Let me ask you.

Do you see us together, long-term?

Do you see us getting married as a possibility?

Yeah. Well, maybe some day.

So you might want to marry me?

Well, yeah, it's a possibility.

Are you asking me to marry you?

Well, are you?

What would you say if I did?

I guess I, uh...

I might say yes.

You really like me that much?

Yeah. Do you like me that much?

Yeah, I think I do.

I'm curious.

If we were engaged,

how would that affect your promise to God?

Well...

being engaged is definitely a commitment.

Simon...

do you want to get married?
