You know, every once in a while,
even I want to do the right thing. 702
Mrs. Solis, I love you so much. 703
I mean, doesn't that mean anything to you? 704
705
Honestly, no. 706
John, you're a toy -- a sweet, dumb toy, 707
so you might as well go to college,
because you and me -- no future. 708
709
Ms. Mayer, hey. Is Julie home? 710
She's in the shower. 711
Oh. 712
Well, I just came by to give her some good news. 713
What's that? 714
Well, it turns out that my dad
and I aren't moving after all. 715
What? 716
Yeah, he reconsidered, so I guess
we're going to keep living across the street. 717
Okay. 718
Wow, uh... wow. 719
You know, uh, c-can you sit down?
I-I need to talk to you. 720
721
Hey. 722
723
Do you know that Julie is the first girl
I ever gave a flower to? 724
Really? 725
Yeah. 726
Yeah, I-I really like her, Ms. Mayer. 727
Zach, um... 728
729
Julie is only 14 years old, 730
and sometimes girls, when they're that age,
they just don't always make the right decisions, 731
and, um... as her mother, it is
my responsibility to protect her. 732
You want to protect her from me? 733
No, I-I just -- 734
I think that you should slow things down. 735
I-I want you to not see her for a while. 736
No. 737
"No"? 738
You're not taking her away from me. 739
740
Listen, I know being dramatic is the birth
right of every teenager, but come on. 741
Why are you laughing?! 742
Do you think this is funny? 743
744
Thank you, Zach.
You have just made this really easy for me. 745
You are now forbidden from seeing or
talking to my daughter ever again, 746
and if you come within 10 feet of her, I will call the police,
and I will have you arrested. Now get out. 747
748
Sooner or later, the time comes when we
all must become responsible adults 749
750
and learn to give up what we want so
we can choose to do what is right. 751
752
Of course, a life time of responsibility isn't always easy. 753
754
And as the years go on, it's a burden
that can become too heavy for some to bear. 755
But still, we try to do what is best, what is good --
not only for ourselves... 756
but for those we love. 757
758
Hey. 759
I'm glad you came. 760
Zach, I can't stay long.
If my mom catches me, she'll freak. 761
Come here. 762
763
She said I can't see you anymore. 764
What are we going to do? 765
I'm not sure. 766
Yes, sooner or later,
we must all become responsible adults. 767
No one knows this better than the young.
