The Secret Life of the American Teenager

George: Hey, your dad's a good man, and he doesn't care if you're in the sausage business or the biscuit business. He just wants you to be happy. Ben: I'm not happy. George: That's because you're not sleeping with my daughter, and that makes me very happy.

Anne: Don't forget all the good that Grace has done for you. Grace is a nice girl. Amy: Not anymore. Didn't you hear? Grace had sex with Jack, and she liked it! (Anne laughs) What? Anne: And that makes it a bigger sin, that she liked it?

Grace: I'm not getting out of the car, so why don't you just get out of the car, so we can get on with this whole stupid service and I can go home? Ricky: No. I'm not leaving you inside the car, and I'm not leaving you when we get outside the car. Grace: I told you I'm not getting out of the car. Ricky: Yeah, you are. You are getting out of the car, one way or the other. Grace: I don't think so. Ricky: I know so. Grace: Don't talk to me like that! Ricky: I will drag your ass out of this car if I have to, because you are gonna go to whatever service your dad planned for himself. Whatever he planned is what he wanted. This service is his last request of you. You may have messed up and didn't do other things he asked of you, but you are not messing up again, because this time, I'm here, and I'm gonna make you do the right thing. Get out of the car, Grace. Your mother wants you out of the car, and I told her I'd get you out of the car. (takes her arm) Grace: Don't touch me! Ricky: I will touch you if I have to touch you. I'd rather have you angry at me than feel guilty the rest of your life for not going to your father's funeral.

Amy: Are you here so I can go to the funeral? Anne: No. I'm here so the women that you work with can go to the funeral Amy: Can't I just go to the part that's at the church, and not the graveside service? Anne: Amy, I'm here to be with you, to help out at the nursery, because you have to work. Amy: But I don't have to work if you're here. Please, Mom? Anne: Amy! Amy: Everyone is going. Everyone! Did you see how full the other parking lot is? Anne: Yes, I did. Dr. Bowman's been a doctor in this community for 20 years, and he was a deacon at the church, and I told the women that you work with that I would help out so that they could go to the funeral. So you'd rather help them than me? Anne: I thought that I was helping you. I thought that I was helping you give back to the church that's given so much to you. To my daughter and to my grandson. Amy, what's wrong? Really, what's wrong? Amy: I'm missing out on everything everyone else is doing. I feel like Old Mother Hubbard! I feel like and I look like Old Mother Hubbard! The only good thing that came out of all this is my boobs.

Anne: Amy, it's okay. All new mothers feel overwhelmed and isolated. I'm not just a new mother. I'm a new mother in high school, and that's just so wrong! Maybe God is punishing me, and if he is, I can't take it! Anne: Who said that? Someone said that God is punishing you? That's ridiculous. Amy: Is it? Because I thought about it, and maybe God is punishing you, too. You know what, Amy? I doubt that God punishes people nearly as much as people punish each other and themselves. John is not a punishment. Amy: That's what I said when Grace said that, but I don't know. Maybe John's a blessing and a curse. Anne: John is not a curse.
