Original subtitles

I'm looking for the Reverend Lucille Kinkirk.

Oh, it's Lucy,

and she's out this morning,

making some hospital calls.

I'm her father.

Oh, what a coincidence. I am, too.

A-A father.

Well, sit down, why don't you?

I'm just... I'm guessing that you must be Sandy's father.

I must be.

I was hoping to see Lucille.

Lucy.

That's the one.

Uh...

I-I wanted to drop something off for my daughter.

I found it.

You found it?

Well, at the bank.

Tell Lucille not to give it to her all at once.

She'll know why. Problems in the past.

Excuse me for a second.

Hello?

Hey, Dad. How's it going?

Uh, well, I-I have somebody in the office.

Oh, this won't take but a second.

I just need to borrow, like...

100 bucks until my next paycheck.

I'm not paying for the ring.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm paying for the ring.

Which is why I'm having a little trouble

making the rest of my bills.

But I'll be all caught up as soon as I get my next paycheck.

Hmm, no. I'm sorry. I can't help you out.

Uh, you can take some out of that, if you need it.

Look, Dad, I could

probably borrow the money from someone else,

but I'm coming to you first.

Well, I appreciate that, but I still... I can't help you out.

But, Dad, they're going to cut off my phone service.

Well, you know, that's hardly an emergency.

You can always get your phone turned back on.

Oh, absolutely. They-they do that all the time.

Simon, I-I have somebody in the office,

and I-I really have to go.

Good luck.

Yeah. Just give that to Lucille.

She'll know what to do.

I got it.

Dinner? No.

A project.

A project that helps other people.

A project that I can get involved in

so that I can date any guy I want.

So you can get some balance in your life

and some perspective on dating

and how that fits into the greater scheme of things.

Yes.

And all that's going to come from eating soup?

We've been collecting labels from cans of Campbell's Soup,

and if we get enough, we'll be able to get a computer

for the school newspaper

and hopefully get the school paper going this year.

That's great. How many labels do you need?

I don't know exactly.

Hundreds. By...?

Thanksgiving, but they started last year.

I'm not sure how many more we need,

but when we reach our goal,

we'll be able to get the computer,

and hopefully we'll be back in business

by the first of this year.

Isn't that great?

Yeah. Are you gonna be on the newspaper staff?

Do I have to be on the newspaper staff?

I'm just helping the newspaper staff get what they need.

I'm doing it for others.

So you can get something for yourself.

Well, I get a guy.

So basically, it's labels for dating.

It's Campbell's Labels for Education.

And, I hope you're not disappointed.

I'm really excited about this.

All right, it sounds like a worthwhile project

and, you know, school newspapers are very important.

When I was a kid, we...

We used to collect these Blue Horse labels,

and they...

No, some other time.

I'm going to go over to Kevin's and Lucy's.

Kevin makes soup all the time.

He practically lives on soup.

If you see Luce, tell her to call me.

We're sorry. You have reached a number

that has been disconnected or no longer in service.

If you feel you reached this recording in error,

please hang up...

Simon, Simon, Simon.

Oh, thanks.

Is there anything else in the car?

No, no, this is it.

Did you leave the boys at the market?

Did I leave the boys at the market?

It's my way of asking where Sam and David are.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

You forgot to pick us up.

Yeah, you forgot.

How did you get here?

Uncle Kevin.

Yeah, we called Uncle Kevin from the school office,

and he picked us up,

and he took us for ice cream,

and we got to feed Savannah.

Uh...

I'm so sorry, and, uh...

I'm just... I'm happy that you're safe,

and-and that was the right thing you did,

going back into the school and calling an adult.

I wonder why your teacher didn't call me.

We told her you're at work.

You're always at work,

and Mom had other things to do today.

So we told her to call Uncle Kevin.

Yeah, we like Uncle Kevin.

He's a fun dad.

Yeah. Of course, I can also be fun.

Not really.

I just wanted to make sure you were still home.

Ruthie's watching Savannah and counting Campbell's Soup cans.

Thank you.

Thank you for picking them up. I just...

I-I got so distracted with... everything.

Everything, like Martin?

Yeah, well, he promised Lucy

he's going to tell his dad tonight.

Who's going to tell Ruthie?

I'm sure that when the dust settles in a couple of days,

he'll come over and have a conversation with her.

You're sure? No, I'm hoping.

All right, I better get back over there.

Oh, uh, wait, wait, wait.

Um, Sandy's father came by to see Lucille...

Uh, Lucy... and, um, she wasn't in,

so he gave this to me.

Do you think he could have stolen it?

I mean, there's almost $3,000 in there.

He says it came from the bank, but...

I could call the guys down at the station,

see if anyone's reported anything,

but this stuff looks old,

too old to be in a bank drawer.

And it smells like it's been drowned

in some kind of whiskey.

Some kind of really cheap, awful whiskey.

Tell Lucy to call me. Evidently, she's phoneless today.

My fault.

I washed her jeans with the phone in them.

New one's on the way.

Well, you're otherwise

doing a very good job with everything.

I hope she lets you know that.

Come on.

You want to try it? No.

Really, I am not sporty. Athletic, whatever.

Are you getting bored?

I'm never bored when I'm with you.

But if you're tired of me staring at you, I can go home.

I could never be tired of you staring at me.

Really? Really.

Thanks.

Um, here's the thing.

What thing?

I love you.

I love you, too.

What thing?

Well, you know, this might be my last semester at school.

Well, except for baseball.

You're going to stick around for baseball season, right?

Well, I might have the opportunity to, uh,

play for a farm league.

What's a farm league?

The minor leagues.

This spring?

Maybe. So...

You know, I might be going off somewhere to play ball,

which means I won't be around all the time.

So, the thing is that you love me,

but you're breaking up with me?

No, no, no, nothing like that.

It's just that, because I love you,

I wish I could just stay in high school forever,

but I have to think about my career.

And if that's going to be baseball,

then I'm going to have to do what baseball players do,

and that's travel all the time and make no money

and spend years doing that with no real life

other than trying to get to the show.

The major leagues.

I understand.

Do you?

Oh, well, if the thing is that you want me

to wait for you while you're traveling all around the country

playing baseball, then I will.

'Cause that's who you are,

and you should be able to do whatever you want to do

and pursue whatever dreams you have

without me getting in the way.

And I won't get in the way.

I'll just be around any time you want me to be around,

and maybe one day, you'll want me around all the time.

I want you around all the time now.

It's just that I think it could be a long time

before I can settle down and have, like, a normal life

with a wife and a family and a house and all that.

I'm only a junior in high school.

I think I'm probably going to want to go to college.

I mean, I know I'm going to want to go to college,

since I want to be a social worker.

I think it's gonna be a long time before

I'm ready to settle down and have a real, normal life

with a husband and a family

and a house and all of that.

Maybe I could come by later tonight, after dinner.

I'll call you.

Okay.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Myrna's doctor was running late,

but when he finally got there, he had good news for her.

I made a salad and chicken noodle soup.

Perfect. I need some comfort food.

What a day.

Wait, is someone else

eating with us? No, I just opened a few cans

because Ruthie's collecting Campbell's Soup labels.

For school?

Yeah, they're trying to get a new computer

so they can get their school paper going again.

Has Martin called?

Nope.

I hope he goes through with this. Me, too.

Oh, by the way,

Sandy's dad stopped by the church and left this with your dad.

$3,000.

It stinks.

Yeah, I know, like alcohol.

I thought he didn't have any money.

Where did he get this?

I have no idea,

but there haven't been any recent robberies.

I thought maybe he robbed a liquor store or something.

I should call him.

You better eat first.

Thanks for taking such good care of me and Savannah.

My pleasure.

You think Martin could ever feel the way you do

about Sandy and the baby?

Do you think that's a possibility at all?

Not really, no.

Couldn't you have just said “maybe”?

Maybe.

Simon called, asked if he could borrow 100 bucks.

And?

And he called Matt, and Matt called me,

and he doesn't have 100 bucks,

and if he did, he wouldn't contribute

to the Simon and Rose fund.

Good.

That was such a good idea,

letting everyone pick their own soup.

I've got five labels now, and with Kevin that makes ten.

Kevin made five cans of soup?

Well, he said he eats a lot,

but I know he was just trying to help me out.

He's a good guy... Kevin.

Yeah, he is.

I hope I have a husband like that someday.

Ah, me, too.

In the meantime, who do you got your eyes on?

Right now, I'm just giving

the Campbell's Labels for Education project

my full attention.

How did you get involved?

Is Jack involved?

How'd you know?

Mothers know everything.

He asked me if I'd help, and I thought, why not?

So that's who you're going to date, hopefully, Jack?

Not Brian?

Yeah. Well, for one thing, he's got a car,

and another thing,

Brian's on the baseball team, and...

That might not work

in case Martin and Meredith ever break up.

But... I'm not totally ruling out Brian.

He's hot,

he's really hot,

but I just think that Jack's a bit more my type.

You know I was thinking, tomorrow morning,

I'll make tomato soup and put it in the thermoses

with a sandwich for the boys' lunch.

Wouldn't that be nice?

That way you'll have another label.

And if you made my lunch, that would be another label,

and Dad's lunch, that would be three labels,

and if you had soup for lunch too, that'd be four.

Thanks. Jack is going to be really excited

when he finds out how many labels I can get.

We're gonna get that computer in no time.

And I'm going to have a date.

Remind me to save the labels.

Ruthie wants them for school.

I'll get her some from home, too.

Sandy eats soup all the time.

Good.

It'd be nice to do something for Ruthie

and maybe my family will like me better.

I'd help you out with the phone bill,

but I have to pay for the dress.

I know.

I'm getting more hours at the radio station next week,

so, um, I should hopefully get a bigger paycheck,

and get my cell phone back

and, hopefully, I won't have this problem next month.

You know, the other phone,

the apartment phone, is disconnected, too.

Yeah, I know.

I lost that one first.

I have to pay the deposit again.

It'll be fine. All couples have money problems.

You can use my cell phone if you need to make a call.

Thanks, I might need to do that.

You know someone else you could borrow 100 bucks from?

I might.

I think I'm gonna finish this soup first.

Don't worry, Simon, we're in this life together.

We're going to be fine.

I hope so.

The designer, the one in San Francisco?

He called and he has a veil that would go perfectly with the dress.

I'm not asking you to buy it.

I'm sure when my parents get back and they find out

we're making plans and I have a ring, they'll take care of all the expenses.

And if they don't?

Then they don't.

Couldn't you just call them and say, "I have a ring

"and I bought a dress and I found a veil

"and everything's just getting a little too expensive

"for something that's not happening

until a year from May"?

I think it would be best to tell them in person.

You know, so I can get them excited,

as excited as I am.

When are they coming back again?

They almost always come back to the States during the holidays,

maybe they'll even be here for Thanksgiving,

and if not Thanksgiving, then Christmas for sure.

But if they don't come back, we could spend the holidays

in their house in Glenoak so we can stay together,

together, together,

just the two of us.

Um, I'm pretty sure my family is gonna want me

to be at the house with them.

Simon, you've already compromised

and made me move out of your apartment.

I think it's only fair

if you let me have my way on a few things.

I have to pick up Sandy at the library.

See ya.

Where did he get the money?

I don't know.

Not that it matters, I'm gonna need money.

Well, it's a lot of money

and he asked me not to give it to you all at once.

I'm not an addict.

And I'm not an alcoholic.

It's not like I'm gonna go blow it getting high.

It's just that... having a lot of cash around

could be a temptation.

Look, I've been sober for five years.

Okay, that's, like, a lifetime ago.

But remember, you told me you got sober

only to start substituting your addictions with guys.

That's an addiction all in itself.

I gave it up.

When?

A long time ago.

Until Simon, I was doing fine.

Until Simon?

Yeah, Simon.

I slipped, but at least I slipped

because I thought I really cared about him.

Really...

it was Martin I didn't care about.

Man, I wish I hadn't done that.

All right, all right, let's not do that again.

I want the money.

All right, it's your money,

but maybe you'll let me decide the best way to use the money.

You're gonna have a lot of expenses coming up,

especially since you don't have any insurance.

How was he?

How was... your dad?

I didn't see him, but from what my dad says,

he was pretty much they way I described him when I saw him.

I can't believe my mother never told me he was a drunk.

You know, that would have really helped

when I was hating myself for drinking.

Or it maybe it would have given you someone to blame

when instead you took responsibility

for your own problems and got help.

I mean, that's really commendable.

You are a very responsible young woman

and I know that you are gonna be responsible

for yourself and your baby.

How do you manage to always make me feel so good

when I'm feeling so lousy?

Do I?

Luce, I don't know what I would do right now without you.

Well, I'm happy to help.

Look, about Simon...

It was last year.

The baby is Martin's.

I guess I should tell you

that Martin is talking to his dad tonight.

Well his dad's a marine.

I hope he doesn't kill him.

He won't.

Then I hope he doesn't kill Simon.

Who won't kill Simon?

Um, I'm talking to Lucy.

Sandy, Sandy, listen to me.

Do not let Simon

and Rose know that you have money right now, okay?

They do not need to know.

I'm not an idiot.

I know that.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

Okay, bye.

What was that about?

Nothing, okay?

You can tell me now or tell me later, 'cause you know you will.

Let's go.

Smoke getting to you?

Uh, no, not really.

Something happened with Meredith?

No, Meredith's fine.

She's a great girl.

I really like her, good choice.

Uh-oh.

You and Meredith,

didn't do anything?

Are you two...?

No, no, no.

Well, if you and Meredith decide to have sex,

I hope you'll be a responsible man and not take any chances.

But more than that, I hope you'll decide to wait.

You're still young.

You got plenty of time.

But whatever you decide,

you can always talk to me, you know that, don't you, son?

I know that. Thanks.

Yeah, I had a feeling.

I wonder if Rose knows

that Sandy is one of Simon's... conquests.

I wonder that, too.

Maybe, if she doesn't know and she finds out,

she'll get really angry and she'll give back the ring.

Poor guy.

Imagine Simon going broke paying for a ring that's in his pocket.

They just better not try to borrow any money from Sandy.

Just because Martin said he was gonna talk to his dad tonight,

doesn't mean he's going to.

He's going to.

He promised.

These are really good burgers.

Four burgers... that's a lot of burgers.

Would you like another one?

I can throw a couple more on the grill.

No, no.

Stop.

Just tell me what's going on, son.

Before you make yourself sick cramming food down your throat

so you won't have to talk to me.

You signed up, didn't you?

Is that it?

You think you want to be a marine?

Maybe.

Martin, Martin.

This is not what I want for you.

You're not me.

You're good in school. You're smart.

You've got a lot of options.

You could go to college.

You got a shot at being a pro ball player.

Look, I know I haven't been around the last few years,

but we've stayed close, you and me.

I thought you could tell me anything, son.

You know that.

Why didn't you tell me you were thinking about this?

Why couldn't you at least talk it through with me?

I don't know.

Hello?

Ruthie? It's Jack.

Yeah. Hi.

I'm glad you called.

I'm really excited

about this Campbell's Labels for Education project.

My family's going to help, too.

My dad's even going to put it in the church bulletin,

so we can get labels from the entire congregation.

That's hundreds of people.

Wow. I wish you'd gotten involved earlier.

I was just calling to say, thanks for volunteering.

You know I'm the editor of the newspaper, right?

That is, assuming we can get it going again.

No, I didn't know.

I was just wondering if you're interested

in joining the newspaper staff.

I don't know.

It's just, the staff

is usually made up of juniors and seniors,

but I could try to get you on, if you want.

Mmm, that's okay.

But why would you be doing all that work

if you don't want to work on the newspaper?

Well, you know, I just like to help people.

My people like to help people.

It's in my blood.

You're funny.

I'm funny?

You're not just doing this

so you can hang out with me, are you?

You've got some ego, you know that?

Oh, come on. You like me.

No, I don't.

I like you, too.

Ruthie?

I'm here.

I'd like to go out with you sometime.

I think it's cute that you'd go around

collecting hundreds of soup labels for me.

I'm not cute.

I like you, but I don't like you calling me cute.

But you are cute.

No, I'm not.

All right, we can argue

about whether or not you're cute some other time.

I just wanted to say thanks for helping out.

So, that's it?

That's the only reason you called?

So, who are you dating?

No one right now.

I'm kind of taking a break.

From?

From lying to my parents about a guy's age

just so I can go out with him.

So you can't date right now?

Not tonight, no, but soon.

So, when you're allowed to go out again,

you know I'll still be 18

and your mom and dad will know that.

They've decided that I can make my own decisions

about who I want to date.

That's your punishment for lying?

I wish I lived at your house.

That's my reward for getting involved in a school project.

My parents want me to have some balance in my life,

do something for other people.

I knew I'd get to the bottom of this sooner or later.

So, I'll see you at school tomorrow?

Okay.

Let me know when you can go out with me.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, yes!

We're sorry. You have reached a number

that is disconnected or no longer in service.

If you feel you have reached this recording in error...

Oh, hi, Martin.

Were you looking for Lucy?

Uh, no. This time, I'm looking for you.

I know you know. I know everyone knows.

Does your dad know?

Did you tell him?

Are you okay?

I just-I just lied to him.

I told him I joined the Marines.

I-I can't.

I can't tell him.

And-And I can't have Lucy tell him.

He'd take it better coming from a man.

You tell him.

Well, it's okay, Martin.

You're a man.

I'll help you to tell him.

Hi.

Thanks for coming over.

So, my son's joining the marines.

There are worse things, huh?

Yeah. Let's talk about that.

Oh, so there are worse things.

There's more?

There's more.

You know, no matter how close a father and son are,

some conversations are just more difficult than others,

and this one's especially difficult.

Martin asked if I could be here, just for support,

in case he needs help.

I'm sorry.

That's okay, son.

There's no shame in asking for help.

I'm just a little confused.

I thought you did a pretty good job breaking the news to me.

That wasn't what I wanted to tell you.

You didn't want to tell me you were joining the marines?

He didn't join the marines.

Then why did you tell me that?

You said it, I didn't.

And then it was just easier to go along with it

than tell you what I wanted to tell you.

It's all right.

It's all right.

So, tell me now.

It's okay, Martin.

What did you want to tell me?

And by the way, even though you misled me,

I have to say I, uh...

I'm a little relieved.

I don't think you're ready for the service.

I made a mistake. A big mistake.

We all make mistakes.

Not like this one.

I got a girl pregnant and I'm going to be a father.

I, uh...

I don't think you're ready for that, either,

and neither is Meredith.

I asked you

about you and Meredith and I thought you said that...

I didn't lie about that.

You're seeing someone other than Meredith?

I saw someone this summer,

once.

I-I had sex with her one time

and now...

It's not fair.

I can only imagine that's what she's thinking, too.

But life's not fair. That's a fact.

Life's not fair.

Wow.

Who is this girl?

Uh, her name is Sandy.

She's a college student.

She's, uh, she's 21.

So, what are you going to do? Marry her?

No, I don't want anything to do with her.

At first, I think Sandy wanted Martin

to marry her, but now she seems confident

that she can take care of the baby on her own.

No, no, no. That's not right.

Why not? I mean, she knew what she was doing.

What, she was trying to trap you,

an 18-year-old high school senior, into marrying her?

I doubt it.

And you knew what you were doing, too.

You know where babies come from.

What were you...

I was going to say, "What were you thinking?"

but that doesn't really matter.

What matters is that we stick through this together,

and we will.

It'll all be okay.

How can you say that?

I mean, don't you understand?

It's not going to be okay. It's never going to be okay.

My life is over.

I mean, maybe I will

join the marines and-and go to Iraq and get killed.

Thank you, sir.

Anytime.

Who else knows about this?

Uh, well, Simon and Rose.

You know, they're friends of Sandy's.

And some students on campus,

uh, one of whom is Meredith's sister.

Yeah, even though Meredith doesn't know

that Martin's involved,

somehow her dad, George, figured it out.

And your family?

Well, of course, Annie knows. You know.

And Lucy.

And Kevin.

And Matt.

I'm sorry. I mean, you should have known first.

Ruthie? What about Ruthie?

Not yet. I'm hoping Martin will tell her.

He should,

but first he should tell Meredith, don't you think?

Yeah, probably.

That girl is so in love with him.

Meredith? Yeah.

No, I meant Ruthie.

Not that Meredith's not a great girl.

She is. She's very sweet.

I just had the feeling

that this was kind of a first love for them,

and at some point, they'd move on.

And I was kind of hoping that, uh,

ten years from now, we'd see each other

at the front of a church.

You know what I mean?

Anyway, back to reality.

I better go find Martin.

Night, Reverend.

Good night.

I thought you were going up to see Sandy.

Oh, yeah, I am.

Um, I just have some phone calls to return,

and I made some notes on some projects

I was hoping that we could consider in next year's plans.

When did you do all that?

I was up most of the night. I couldn't sleep.

I never heard from Martin.

Anything from his dad this morning?

No, but I was really impressed with how he handled the news.

He's a good father.

Yes, he is.

We're lucky there's at least, uh,

one levelheaded, responsible parent involved.

Oh, good. Lucille, how are you?

Fine.

Where'd you get the money from?

From me.

I gave it to your father. Hello.

Hello. How are you this morning?

Fine, but, uh, I changed my mind about the money.

I want it back.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

I wired it to Sandy this morning.

My specific instructions

were not to give it to her all at once.

Yeah, well,

mmm, I ignored your instructions.

Well, she's quite spunky.

She is.

But since you're here, would you like a cup of coffee?

Uh, I'd really love to talk and I'm sure Lucy would, too.

About?

How about we start with the money

and where you found it, and then move on to,

oh, I don't know, your thoughts on getting sober.

I already told you I found the money at the bank.

I vaguely remembered putting it

in a safe deposit box,

and once I able to convince the lovely young banker

I had a safe deposit box, I was allowed to open it,

and there it was... it was a gift from my father.

Was your dad by any chance a functional alcoholic, too?

He was.

At least for a number of years,

until he stepped off a curb and got hit by a bus,

leaving me, his only son, with everything he had.

And that's what was in the envelope?

Everything he had?

No, that's what's left

of what he had.

I spent the rest

and then I forgot about it, and then I remembered it, and...

I need it back.

Uh...

I fear I may have been a bit too hasty.

I was let go of my position

at the municipal gardens this morning,

and I may need a little something

to fall back on later today.

Again, it's too late.

The money's gone... To a worthy cause.

But you know, since you're between positions,

would this possibly be a good time to think about going

into an alcohol rehabilitation program?

Since I am between positions,

I think I this might be a good time

for me to find another position, which I assure you,

I will be able to acquire

without giving up my beverage of choice.

Look, you know,

while you're looking for a job,

when you have an hour in between filling out applications

and interviews, you could just walk into an AA meeting.

I have walked in and walked back out several times.

Recently?

No.

Look, you can keep hiding

behind your functional alcoholism

until you yourself step off a curb and get hit by a bus

or you can change your life today.

Today could be the first day of the rest of your life.

Thank you, Lucille.

I've heard that on numerous occasions

and have passed on the offer.

Well, maybe you'll want to reconsider at some point

before your grandchild is born,

and if and when you do,

please let us know if I or Lucille

can be of any help.

Happy to get you into a program

or go with you to your first AA meeting.

I remind you, it would not be my first.

But it... would be

your first since hearing that your daughter needs your help

because she's having a baby.

She's pretty much all alone,

and I know you know how that feels,

being all alone and needing help, wanting help...

Just wanting to connect with family and people who love you,

the real you, not just

the functional alcoholic you.

You may not even remember

who that guy is.

But... I imagine he's a nice guy.

I'm sure he is a nice guy.

Oh, no.

He's a terrible dirty, rotten scoundrel.

That's why I drink.

And his daughter is a very pregnant young woman.

So that should be reason enough to stop drinking.

I think you do want to stop drinking.

I think that's why you came in here.

That's why I'm offering... We're offering

to help you.

Well, I doubt that even sober I would be fit

to extend any assistance to my offspring

at any time in the near future.

I think you're right.

I think the journey to sobriety

is difficult.

The only person you're going to be able to help is yourself.

But, you can help yourself.

Well, I think there's at least a possibility that you got through to him.

Nice work.

Thanks for the assist.

You already wired the money to Sandy?

No, I lied.

He doesn't need to know that I'm taking it to her.

What?

I learned at the feet of the master.

So tell me, why aren't we talking

to the two sober parents?

The mother and the stepfather?

I called them.

And?

Well, they don't think my opinion matters.

They don't think I know what I'm getting into

and they don't think that I know Sandy like they know Sandy.

Bottom line,

they don't think women should be ministers

so it was a thanks, but no thanks,

they'll let Sandy do this alone,

and maybe it'll teach her something.

I think it might teach us all something.

Hey, Martin, wait up. I need you.

Ruthie's collecting soup labels

for that Campbell's Labels for Education project,

and she forgot to come by this morning and get 'em.

Do you mind giving them to her?

Can't you just give them to her when she gets home from school?

I don't really know when she had to have them.

Here, hold Savannah for me.

Look, I know what you're doing here.

Yeah?

I know you know,

okay, and I don't want a baby, okay?

Yeah, I know, but you're going to have a baby

under probably the worst of circumstances.

But the baby isn't going to know the circumstances

or understand the circumstances or care about the circumstances.

It's just going to be a baby, a baby that's going to need you.

Like it or not, like the mother or not.

So, if you want to talk to me, Martin, come over, anytime.

I'll do anything I can for you.

I know the next few weeks and months aren't going to be easy.

But I care about you and Lucy cares about you

and Savannah cares about you and so do all the Camdens.

Okay, okay, enough, okay. Meredith's coming.

Tell her, then tell Ruthie.

Oh, hi, Kevin.

Savannah,

get a look at you.

She's cute, isn't she?

I forgot to give Ruthie some soup labels.

Remind Martin to give them to her, would you?

Sure. I brought some, too.

Let's go.

I'm sorry I didn't call you last night.

My dad and I kind of got into it.

I knew you were acting weird yesterday for some reason.

I'm just happy to hear it wasn't me.

No, I love you.

You love your dad, too.

I'm sure everything's gonna be fine.

Hello.

Who gave you the money?

Good morning to you, too.

You got your service turned back on.

Just on my cell phone.

I think I'll leave my apartment phone off for awhile

until I get caught up.

Uh-huh. Who gave you the money?

Dad, come on.

All right, I'll tell you.

She didn't tell me I couldn't tell you.

She?

Mary.

Dad? Dad?

Dad, Dad, please don't be angry with...

I just need one good day with my children.

One good day.
