Running Away

Go!

I'm sorry.

Really?

Watch it, man.

Yeah, you better keep walking.

Okay, tool.

Hello?

Look, I don't have any money to pay you.

I'm sor...

Look, I know what I said last week,

but things are really tight here right now.

Can I just pay you next week?

Mom?

Please?

Hey, hey, listen, I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Next week.

Hey, mom.

We need some cash for the pool.

Hey, get out of there and zip me up, please.

Okay, but I still need cash for the pool.

Hey, guys.

I gave you five yesterday.

Yeah, which is enough to get in,

but it's not enough if we want food

or drinks.

We could go to the lake,

because that's free.

No, it's dangerous and unsupervised.

I want some food, mom, please.

I'm sorry, I'm out of cash.

Eat before you go.

Sorry.

That's Richard.

I'll get it.

So...

Where's he sweeping you away to this time?

An afternoon concert at the Philharmonic

and then dinner tonight.

He won't tell me where.

And then next week he's taking us

all to a ball game.

Oh.

Great.

Look, Maggie, he's really nervous

about hanging out with you and your sister,

so he just picked something that he thought

you would like.

Baseball's not the problem.

I'm sorry, I know that I haven't

been very available for you guys.

But

I need this.

I haven't dated in, like,

10 years.

What about Justin?

Hardly dating.

I mean, he was remodeling the house.

Yeah, but you went out with him.

Well, just so he would stop overcharging me.

Can I take the car to the pool?

Yes.

No kids in the car.

Of course.

Now this is a limited edition 1984 Roger Clemens

rookie card.

Wow.

Yeah.

I picked it up at a show yesterday.

Now that's easily worth $500 and if you

hold onto it, for say, I don't know,

like, 10 years, it'll be worth triple that.

Maybe even five times as much.

That's for both of you.

Who's Roger Clemens?

Who's Roger Clemens.

Hey, beautiful.

Hi.

I can't believe your girls don't know

who Roger Clemens is.

Well, we're more of a football family.

Oh, mom, you need to sign my permission slip,

otherwise they won't let me into the pool.

All right, hold on a second.

So, you guys are going to the pool, huh?

Yeah.

Oh yeah, 'cause

I saw a few of your friends heading

towards the lake.

Yeah.

It's okay, I got your back.

I won't tell if you won't.

Okay.

Hey.

See you later.

See ya.

Five bucks is not gonna be enough.

No, really?

We could sell this.

I like that idea.

What a liar.

It's totally worth 500, maybe even double that.

Well, how much is it?

A lousy 50 bucks.

Split it.

If mom ever finds out that we're not

at the pool, we're DEA

All my friends go to the pool.

Yeah, but none of mine do and I'm

kinda sick of hanging out with little kids.

I'm not a little kid.

Besides, you're only here for Tony.

Am not.

Mm-hmm.

You think I'll pop out as fast as you?

Hey. Hi.

Hi.

I wish you...

No, I can't.

Lizzie's here.

I'm serious.

You know I'm not supposed to be dating.

Who says that we're dating?

Cool it.

Hey, Maggie.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

What's her problem?

She's mad at my mom.

This is the first summer we've stayed home.

Usually we're camping or traveling

or something, but my mom's been

all wrapped up in Richard.

Richard, who's he?

I don't know, he's this guy that owns

a pawn shop.

But anyways, my mom's been going out with him

and leaving us home alone all the time.

And you're not using that to get it on

with Tony?

You're nuts, he's hot.

Shut up, he's right there.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Hey.

So Peg, will you please marry me?

Richard, I...

Is that a yes?

No.

I mean, I'm sorry, nobody's ever

proposed to me before.

What about the girls' father?

Well, he always promised he would marry me

but he died two weeks after Lizzie was born.

I'm sorry, I just don't talk about him.

I promise to take care of you,

and your girls.

Come on, don't leave me hanging down here.

Yes.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

All right.

Here we go.

Oh, baby, it's beautiful.

Oh, what am I gonna tell the girls?

Well, that they have a new daddy.

Yeah, that'll sink faster than the Titanic.

I'm actually more worried about you than them.

How can I not like any child of yours?

Well, you've never been a father.

Oh, and teenagers.

Maggie's starting her senior year

and she's already a handful.

I coached girls softball, so I know

all about boy crushes and hormones.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, Maggie plays softball.

See?

We already have something in common.

And, you won't have to raise the kids alone.

I've always wanted a partner in my life.

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you.

Come on, let me in.

I can't, no, my mom's not home.

It's even better.

Okay, okay, you really have to go.

But...

Bye.

Hey, Maggie, can I borrow your iPad?

Can you believe mom's not home yet?

Yes, she likes him.

No, she's being weird.

No she's not.

She's trying to be happy.

What's wrong with that?

Well, it's stupid, you know?

She should be herself because that's
