-I'll tell you what palimony is, Mary--

Palimony is when a man gives

a woman the best years of his life...

...and she has the nerve

to want money.

Not just women.

A man in Beverly Hills...

...sued his girlfriend for

half of her tanning salon.

Stay for dinner.

We have glumpkies.

-I'd love to, but it's Thursday.

-Oh, yeah. French night.

-French night!

-Come with me to the Casbah.

-What's a Casbah?

-We have french fries.

-French dressing.

-The french toast.

-And for dessert....

-We've got ice cream. French vanilla.

And french kissing. With gum.

Come on, Darcy.

There's more to life than Big Macs.

-Well?

-Your job is looking out for your mom.

Okay, it was red,

and now it's pink.

"If there's a change from the original

color, it indicates a positive result."

Positive! So it's positive.

Not positive, good.

Positive, bad.

It's just defective.

We'll take it back.

We'll get another one

and do it again.

Darcy, it's not defective.

Look, my dad's a doctor.

I know about these things.

I can't believe this.

I've been taking the pill forever.

What am I gonna do?

Yo, Stan, thanks for the cleanup.

I owe you one, kid.

-Hi, Mr. Bobrucz.

-Oh, hey! Darcy Elliot.

Kenosha's star reporter.

Are you doing one of those...

...expos stories

on bunions across America?

Hey! No smooching

back there, now.

-lt'll set off the sprinklers.

-Good night, Dad.

I'm going. I'm going.

Boy, you look happy.

If I put your smiling face outside

the store, I'd get a lot more customers.

I know, you got a B plus

on your French exam, right?

-It can't be that bad.

-It is that bad.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Are you sure?

-When was your last period?

-Two months ago.

Two months? I thought

you were taking the pill.

Well, I'm irregular, okay?

That's why I started taking the pill,

to regulate my periods.

My doctor put me on it

when I was 14, and once I forgot.

And then I doubled the next day

just like I was supposed to.

-You said you started taking it for me.

-Well, I lied, okay?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie.

I would've started for you...

...if I wasn't already taking it.

I didn't tell you...

...because I didn't want you

to think I was easy.

We waited two and a half years.

Why would I think you were easy?

-This is all my fault.

-Hey.

It's not like you were there

by yourself, you know?

I never thought it would happen

like this.

I knew it'd be you, I knew that much,

but like this...

...surrounded by Hush Puppies.

-Lisa Jordan had two already.

-I heard Marilyn Monroe had 13.

-Who's Lisa Jordan?

-She sits behind you in calculus.

-Still, it's no big deal.

-Look, this is Darcy's decision.

-It's her life.

-Oh, her life.
