- Sorry. - What are you doing?
I guess I feel closer to God if I'm with you.
- Did you think it was gonna work on me? - It's not a line.
I don't need nothing from you! I don't need to work at your car dealership.
And I sure as hell don't need football.
You have the opportunity to become part of a team.
If you don't do it tonight,
you're never gonna do it in your entire life.
- It's that girl. - Noelle?
She got my son's head
spinnin' every which way direction. I don't like it.
Do you think maybe we should like talk about some...
ground rules, so that we both know
how we each feel, that no one will get hurt...
What are we gonna do with Gracie Bell
- while we're at work? - That's not our burden,
that is our gift.
Oh yeah. I think we could definitly have her there by 7:00.
- Which daycare's that? - The good one with the waiting list.
Sure, that would be great.
I cannot thank you enough
- for taking her so last minute. - You saw my homework?
- Why did they have an opening? - One of the kid dropped out.
Is that the one with the busy traffic?
Can you hold on one second? It's on a side street.
They got a gate, they got a security code.
- I left my homework right here. - Was the reason they have an opening
maybe because of the traffic on the street?
Wonderful, we'll be there.
Honey, honey, it's gonna be fine. It miraculous they took us in.
Take Julie to school and I'll take Gracie.
Now wait a second. I am calm.
You're a little worked up. I think it's better you let me do it.
You can take Jules. Come here, baby girl.
- Seriously, I need to find my homework. - Say "bye, daddy."
It's under the newspapers.
You could've told me that earlier.
Say bye to Gracie Belle. She's going to day care!
Bye, y'all.
Matthew, you have always loved pancakes
and I'm gonna make some.
Well, that's...
a lot of baking soda, Grandma.
I've been making these for 40 years.
I guess I know how to do it.
You usually eat about ten of these, so I hope you're hungry.
Well, I'm eating this banana now, so I might not be that hungry later.
That's a joke.
What are you doing?
Could... Could you reach my suitcase, please?
- Thank you. - Where are you going?
Thank you. Guatema.
What, for, like, vacation?
I have to go home Matt. My family needs me.
Why? I don't understand,
- 'cause you're supposed to... - Did he tell you?
I'm making my pancakes.
You are in for a treat...
- Sounds delicious. - Y'all come on,
you gotta get 'em while they're hot.
Matthew has loved these since he was a little boy.
I'll clean up after myself. Don't worry about it.
Yep, cinnamon and then a special ingredient.
Looks like a nice neighborhood.
Fun little playground.
Children coughing.
- Hi, how are you? - Hi, Mrs. Taylor.
Good. I'll be with you in just one minute.
Oh, okay, great.
Well, this is such a big day for you, Gracie Belle.
eat and... play and...
nap and do all those things that you love to do so much.
You're not gonna wonder
why I left you with a bunch of people that we don't know and never met.
I agree.
Come on back... tomorrow maybe.
I think you're absolutely right.
I think maybe today wasn't the best day for it.

Devon Diablo, what up, homie?
How'd you get out?
Cool little deal, know I'm saying? Got out a few days ago.
- Let you out on papers? - Yeah.
Get in the car. We got stuff to do, come on.
Nah, man, I'd like to, man. But...
I get in the car, I ain't never gonna make it to school.
What? You trippin', man. Come on, get in the car, dog.
Nah, man, I been playing football now, homes.
- You're playing football? - Yeah, man, I play football here.
Get out of here! What are you talking about? You stupid.
Get in the car.
Nah, I got practice, man. I can't.
- You gotta go to school? - Yeah, man.
All right, then. That's cool, dog.
I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, dog. - You go have fun.
At circle time, man. With your little football.
I'm gonna be in the streets, homie.
Hi, reverend Philips, I'm so sorry I'm late.
It's okay.
The phones are ringing off, they're waiting.
- Chris kennedy. Nice to meet you. - Lyla Garrity.
Good early morning and welcome to I was a teenage christian, I'm Chris.
This is Lyla, it's her first day, be nice to her.
We're on to our next caller.
She has a question about sex. Go for it, Lorena.
Hi, I have a question for Lyla.
I'm 17 and a christian
and I'm kind of confused because I'm horny all the time.
And my boyfriend, who's also a christian,
is also horny all the time and he keeps telling me
that all this stuff we're doing isn't a sin
and I guess technically it's not...
Okay, what was your question exactly?
I guess... Is oral sex considered intercourse?
And even if it's not, is it okay?
I'm gonna take this one for Lyla 'cause it's her first day.
It's a little early in the morning to be defining intercourse.
Since you're asking, I'm gonna say that technically, biblically,
oral sex is not intercourse, but
I don't think that's why you called.
It sounds like you're not feeling okay about these things you're doing.
Am I right?
Actually, I'm not okay with a lot of it.
Thank you.
- I'll be right back. Hey, sweetie. - I need to talk to you.
I've got a meeting with...
- Principal Bracker. - Just five minutes.
Hello, Glen, Gracie.
I had a hard time leaving her at daycare today.
It was hard for us.
I thought today...
Listen, I really want to help out, but I gotta go to class.
I'll take her.
Actually, you know what, since you're here...
You want to go say hi to daddy? Thanks, baby.
It's a quick meeting. It's just a statistics thing.
- Ten minutes. Ten minutes. - Ten!
Thanks, bye.
She needs to have her diaper changed, I think.
All right.
- Have a good day. - You betcha.
You have a good one. Thanks very much.
I know I'm cool, got 'em for free too.
Can't even tell you where I got 'em.
You ain't learning nothing from O.J, huh?
- Hey, y'all fools need to go home. - "We got jungle fever..."
You can dance, Red? I didn't know you had rhythm like that.
Save a little for the rest of us. Come on, Smash.
My parents want you, your mom and your sisters
to come over for dinner tomorrow night.
- You think you can make it? - Meet the parents, huh?
- If you're inclined. - Yeah, I'd love that.
Good.
4-4 Smash when I go a-gap...
Dude, it's the Dillon Panthers!
Get in the car, dog.
And don't tell me that you got homework to do, okay?
'Cause I'll kick your ass. We're riding tonight.
Old times. Let's go, dog.
All right, homie.
We got him! We got him!
'sup, Jesse? AJ.
- He still winning. - And don't hate that *
You know little Lexie, right? Chuco's little brother...
with the stuttering problem?
Like that, right?
This dude gets out two weeks ago, and gets busted the same day!
The stupid! Not like us, homie.
- Professionals right? - No doubt.
That's right, homes. When we're going to work, man? What's up?
I'm gonna give it at least two weeks before I go back in.
Hey, yo, I should go inside or whatever.
Damn.
Who's this guy?
He's helping me out, letting me stay here.
- This is his new lover, guys. - Everything all right?
These are some... These are my friends.
- There's Devon. - Devon, how you doing?
- How you doing? - AJ, Jesse, and Rishon.
- Y'all, this is Buddy Garrity. - Cool. Yeah.
- Nice to meet you guys. - You too.
You friends of...
Friends of the sandman here?
- Friends of who? - Sandman!
The sandman?
- Some football name. - Okay, it's a football stuff.
Tell you what, if you're his friends, you're welcome over here any time.
- Is that right? - Yeah. Mi casa, es su casa.
You guys wanna come over Thursday night for pizza, watch a movie, whatever?
Sounds great. Thank you so much.
- Buddy Garrity? - That's right.
I seen your car commercials! Hell, yeah, man.
Hey, that's a nice ride you guys got there.
Buddy Garrity, all right!
Nice guys.
Oh, honey.
I just... I looked at her little face
and I could not... I couldn't leave her there.
We ran. It was like we ran for our lives.
I understand.
It was like we were escaping from prison, wasn't it?
- She's our baby. - She's our baby.
Try again tomorrow. There's no rush.
Thank you for being so understanding.
I have my moments.
I know you do.
Go to your daddy.
Oh, not you again.
I don't know how I'm gonna bring myself
to leave her with a bunch of strangers tomorrow either.
Not you again! What are you doing here? Who are you?
Where do you come from?
Beep beep, coming through. Hi y'all.
Sorry about that. Good to see you.
Hey, sweetie. How's that calculus going?
Nice. So you wimp out again?
Honey, I did not wimp out.
Don't call your mother a wimp. It's demeaning.
Gracie was not ready to go.
When Gracie's ready to go, Gracie will go.
So you're just gonna cart her around
until she's married?
No.
- I'm not. - All right.
- Good luck, Gracie. - Love you.
- Have a very good day. - Love you, mom. Bye.
Carlota's leaving. She's going back to Guatemala.
The hot maid that you told me about?
She's not a maid, she's a nurse! She's in nursing school.
She studies a lot.
Yeah, that's her and she's leaving.
And she is hot.
You're not sleeping with the hot maid, are you?
- Kinda. - Are you serious?
It's kinda cool.
I don't...
I'm speechless. I don't even know what to say.
You don't need to say anything, it's fine.
- I'm... I'm proud. - Thanks.
Now she's going back to Guatemala.
- Why is she... - She's got family stuff going on there.
And there's nothing I can do. I'm in high school,
I can't... do that.
You haven't developed feelings or anything for her?
I had developed feelings,
- serious feelings. - So do you love her?
I think so.
Don't go there, all right?
Whether I love her or not, she's leaving. It doesn't matter.
She's going back to Guatemala and now I'm stuck.
This is Lyla Garrity
and you're listening to I was a Teenage Christian.
Am I on the air?
Yeah, you're on the air.
Oh, my God, I'm on the air!
Um, this is... Tina and I'm from Waco.
Why Waco?
And, I'm kind of
embarrassed saying this, but...
I mean, I think Jesus was hot.
So hot.
He kind of looks like a movie star.
Okay, the image that you have in your head
of what Christ looks like probably has very little
to do with reality. That image has been generated
by hundreds of years of artists...
- What is going on out here? - ... being italian, so there really
is no say as to what he actually looked like.
Is that Lyla?
One more.
What's the deal with the shroud of Turin?
What's up with that?
Again, no one really knows
- whether or not that's true, so... - So,
Someone just painted his face on a sheet?
Listen, I know you think this is funny but it's not, it's rude.
And there's real people calling in with real questions,
so I'm gonna disconnect now.
Yes, and we're moving on to Karen.
That was a success.
It's your way of telling her you like her?
Garrity, what's going on?
What's your problem?
I know that was you calling in to the radio show,
trying to make me look like an idiot.
Why would you do that to me?
I... thought it was funny.
- To be honest with you. - You thought it was funny?
Do you ever think about what you're doing?
About who you might be hurting?
I am doing that show, getting up at 4:00 in the morning
and after school,
trying to help people who might not have anyone else to turn to.
Does that sound like something you want to screw with?
Then don't mess with me on the air, please.
Maybe...
think about why you do things you do.
Good night.
You're lucky we came.
How you doing?
Thank you.
We got that recipe on our trip to Spain.
- I'll show you how to make it. - I'd love that.
Can we go play with the Wii?
- Of course. - Y'all got a Wii?
- Oh, I'm coming... - Smash!
I'm kidding. I'm just playing.
Sheila, you wanna come play too?
You know you want to play with the Wii, girl.
Hey, I got winner.
Take turns, Amy.
Well, uh, Corrina.
Now that it's just us here,
- could I ask you a question? - Sure.
How do you feel about Smash and Noelle?
I may be wrong, but I don't think I am.
This relationship...
it just scares me.
It scares you?
Yeah, it scares me.
Your son is a fine young man, Corrina.
But you know we live in Dillon, Texas,
and you know that Dillon, Texas has its ways, right?
And I don't think that we want to have
anyone wondering and worrying about what's going on here.
I think that...
Well, no one else is gonna be so open-minded about it.
With all due respect, the world has changed.
I wish that were true, Smash.
I have to admit
I would feel a lot more comfortable if you and Noelle
stopped dating.
I'm sorry. That's how I feel.
I have to say I agree.
Right here, see what I'm talking about?
You got the three receivers set when they go into that.
You know, I saw Tami and the baby again today.
Yeah, I know. It's day three.
Every time they pass they end up moving around to the right.
Sometimes I wish Tami'd just stay home,
raise Gracie, and quit the damn job.
Hell if I'm gonna say that to her.
You can get rid of that if you just force 'em to go left there.
You got a right to your opinion, you know?
I'm not so sure I do. I'm not gonna ask her to do something
I wouldn't be able to do myself.
That's 'cause you're not supposed to.
That's 'cause men aren't built that way. But women are.
They're supposed to want to stay home with the kids.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
She's got a career. She loves her work.
She has spent 16 years at home with the first kid.
I'm just saying that I wouldn't let a woman of mine go to work
if she had a kid at home.
That sounds really stupid and ignorant when you say that out loud.
Well, sometimes the truth is stupid and ignorant.
Then I gave up cheerleading last June.
After everything I'd been through it was kind of ridiculous
to be cheering in a little skirt for a guy to throw a ball.
I actually burned my uniform.
- What? - I was feeling a little dramatic.
What were the sequence of events that lead you from lighting up
to join the church?
I felt lost.
You know my... my whole life sort of blew up.
In the previous six months, my parents split up and...
a few other things that I won't get into.
God was just the only source of comfort at that time.
That relationship just grew and grew
I think it's always out there, you know, just waiting for us.
Definitely.
You are an interesting girl, Lyla Garrity.
It's too bad you're so hard on the eyes.
- Thanks - You're welcome.
If everybody in the whole world
would just not look at what's on the outside
and don't judge people by the way they look,
but instead see into their hearts and see their souls.
If that's what we did, the world would just a better place.
That's the whole thing.
You just have to have faith in people.
Let me ask you a question.
If you had a gold watch,
an antique goldwatch that your grandfather gave you,
would you leave it in your house with a bunch of thugs?
I don't believe I would.
Chicken's good, hon.
- Good job with the beans and the corn. - Just go ahead and say it.
Say what?
You know, day three, I didn't take in Gracie to the day care.
I know you think I'm being weak and over protective.
I know. Just get it out.
No, I don't.
If you'd been there, you wouldn't have been so brave either.
I happened to have offered to drop her off.
- But that was not an option. - You made me well aware of that.
It wasn't an option. You we absolutely not
in the right mind for it.
- Are you guys fighting? - No, we're not. Eat your dinner.
There are other options.
Like what? What other options?
- If you guys are gonna fight... - Shut it!
Just sit down and eat your dinner.
Other options. There's lots of options.
- Such as? - One could be a leave of absence.
- A leave of absence from my job. - I'm not gonna get in a fight
about this with you right now.
You don't have to, 'cause you could sit there in judgment
and you'll never be threatened to have to leave your job
which you love and have worked so hard for
to stay home and take care of the baby. I hear what you're saying.
- Can you pass the corn? - Sure, honey. Here's the corn.
- I got it! - I'll get it.
Or she can get it.
- Hi, Buddy. - Tami, how are you?
- Come on in - OK.
Buddy's here. He's got a box.
Oh, y'all are eating. Is it a bad time?
No, it's fine. Come on in.
- How you doing, Buddy? - Good.
Let me get another plate.
- Whatcha got there? - That's all right,
- Make yourself comfortable. - I just came by because I'm...
I took all this stuff out of the apartment.
This is my prized possessions. I got my Babe Ruth autographed baseball
and my granddad's gold watch and all this stuff.
I came here 'cause you're great parents and you always know what to.
To tell you the truth I don't know what to do
'cause Santiago's friends have resurfaced.
His old friends, and they're like... I don't want to be judgmental
and I don't want to be prejudiced,
but these guys are, like...
They're thugs. And I don't know
if I should leave this stuff in the house 'cause I invited 'em over.
It's his house too. His friends should come over.
If he sees me take all these out...
So maybe I ought to just put 'em back in there.
OK, you know what? I'm getting real sick of this.
Sorry I don't feel like talking to you.
You're gonna have to talk to me eventually.
Mom,
What you and Noelle's parents did at that dinner
was completely stupid, and humiliating.
Stupid?
Well, excuse me, but I have a right to my own opinion.
- Not when it's messing with my life. - You don't get it.
Maybe you're the one that doesn't get it.
What are you doing?
I'm getting ready. I'm going to a quincenera.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
- What is a quincenera? - It's...
It's a birthday party for a 15-year-old girl,
like sweet 16.
The whole family goes. It's fun.
All right.
Well, have fun then.
- Why don't you come with me? - Yeah?
Yeah.
Let me...
Let me just go change.
Who are all they?
It's her family
They're supporting her.
Wanna dance? Come on!
- It's a waltz. - All right, but...
Okay. So,
Put your hand my back like this.
So I can rest my hand.
It's like an arm rest.
One, two, three. One, two, three.
I don't want you to leave.
I love you and...
you love me,
so I don't understand why you'd be leaving.
- It doesn't make any sense. - I can't stay, Matt.
I know, I know.
This...
I know it sounds dumb 'cause I'm only 17.
No, it's not that.
I wish what you said was possible.
My family...
My family needs me.
I have to be there for them.
I'm sorry.
Brian, the movie starts in 20 minutes.
There's gonna be a half hour of previews.
All right, y'all enjoy the movie. And come home right afterwards.
- Thank you. - There you go.
thank you for taking your little sister to the movies.
You're welcome.
Boy, boy, boy.
Looks good, huh?
Maybe I should go get some stuff for when they come over.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Here, let me give you some money. Get whatever you need,
- Thank you. - You bet.
- Here. - Thank you.
Cheers...
Let's talk.
I think I forgot...
what this new motherhood...
does to your life.
How much it just turns everything upside down.
And I really thought to be able to do it, you know?
I could do the job and I could...
raise Gracie and take care of you and take care of Jules and...
But I don't think... I don't think I can do it, you know?
I do think I'm gonna have to let the job go.
I've to tell y'all... something.
You're not gonna quit your job, so get all that out of your head.
One of the reasons that you and I gave up that job down at TMU
is so that you didn't have to give up your job.
You're a damn good mother, a damn good counselor.
And you're a hell of a hot wife.
I was just inside on the computer. You know what I found out?
I found out that separation anxiety is completely normal.
We get over it.
I also found out that certain studies suggest
that children who go to daycare, actually, it helps them socialize.
If, in years to come, it turns out the daycare screwed her up,
she's always got you for counseling.
You're funny.
Stick together. It all works out.
C'me here.
- Hi. - Hi.
Why we come all the way to this theater?
Two popcorns, three drinks.
Three drinks?
Why...
Smash, hey.
Hey.
- What did you tell your parents? - Late practice. You?
- That's my little excuse right here. - Hey, Noannie.
Hi.
There you go.
Thank you.
Maybe we should go find our seats.
Back up! Back it up! Back up, homie, all right!
Everybody, drink! Have fun!
Hey, little mama.
What you're doing here all by yourself?
My brother's right over there.
Knock it off.
Black on white actually run in the family?
'cause if it does, I could help you out with that.
Jerk.
All right, hold this up, baby.
I said knock it off.
- I'm not doing anything. - You leave my sister alone.
You're the one that left your sister alone.
Besides, you got one of ours. Why shouldn't we get one of yours?
Come on, get up! Get up! Come on, come on, go!
He hit me!
I didn't do anything to him!
You okay, you okay? You all right?
Okay, just go right home and I'll call you, okay?
Come on, let's go.
- Give me the watch back, Devon. - What watch?
No, don't play stupid with me, Devon!
I know you got that watch in that house, homie.
I don't got no watch, man.
Don't be an ass. Give me the watch back!
Oh, I'm being an ass? Okay, okay.
I'm not the one who's sucking up to some bastard
who's paying my way for everything.
He's just helping...
When did you forget where you came from?
He's helping you out? Good, congratulations!
Your fat fairy godmother showed up.
Hooray!
Sandman. Football star.
It's not my fault I got a break, Devon.
All right? It's supposed to be my fault 'cause I got a chance?
Screw you.
Do you think that guy would give a damn about you
if you weren't playing football for his team?
- I don't know. - He doesn't care about you.
He just wants something from you and as soon as he gets it, he's gone.
Now get the hell out my hood, man.
Not without that watch.
I'm sorry.
- You shouldn't have even left me. - I know.
I'm sorry, it's my fault. Look, look...
- Just don't tell mom. - What? No!
Please, please, for me. Don't tell mom.
You shouldn't have left me!
You are on the air with Lyla Garrity.
This is Rita from Larribee.
When I pray at school and I'm not bothering anyone else,
I just bow my head and put my hands together.
People make fun of me,
and it's really hard. Makes me feel stupid
and I don't want to. What should I do?
People are gonna make fun at school
for whatever they can get their hands on.
But most importantly,
you gotta be true to who you are.
There's a gospel song,
"This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine."
And it doesn't just pertain to spreading the word.
It pertains to you.
To the truth that lives inside you.
Don't hide that from the world.
Tell the world how you feel.
Let your light shine.
Thanks for calling in, Rita. We're going to James.
Damn it, Lyla.
- How are you doin'? - Who are they for?
A girl.
Hello?
Matthew, honey?
She had to leave a day early.
She really wanted to tell you goodbye.
It's too bad. She was...
She was a nice girl.
Yeah...
Good night, honey.
All right, well...
Great job. I can't believe how fast you picked that up.
Yeah, well, I have a really good teacher.
Thank you.
Put this on the right way before you.
Okay, that's...
Okay. All right.
- I had a blast. - Yeah, me too.
Should we be letting go now?
All right, let me walk you out.
God Almighty!
What happened to you, son?
I had to... I had to get back your watch.
Come on.
Let's go get you cleaned up.
Come on, buddy. You'll be all right.
- How was the movie? - Yeah, how was it?
It was good.
I liked it.
Y'all didn't say nothing about it when you came home.
You sure are quiet this morning.
- Hi, there. - Hi, how are you?
- Good, how are you? - Good.
- I think we're ready. - Great, good.
- Oh, this is my husband Eric. - How do you do? Nice to meet you.
Okay, so how's Gracie?
She's great.
- So you ready? - Yeah, she's ready.
Love you Gracie.
We're gonna take good care of her.
Yes, she's a cutie. Hi, sweet heart.
Yeah, she's gonna do great.
Here... Here's her bag. There's everything in there.
See you later, kid.
Bye. You have a good day.
Bye, honey.
Love you.
Oh, here's Mr. Noodles.
Oh, we've got Mr. Noodles too.
Okay, bye.
Have a good one.
She didn't even turn around and look at me.
I think she's totally over me.
- You have to pull that up. - I know how...
Well, I didn't.
