YOU BETTER GE MINUTE RICE, HONEY,

OR WE'RE NOT GONNA

EAT TILL MIDNIGHT.

MY PURSE IS BY:

THE ANSWERING MACHINE.

TAKE TEN DOLLARS

AND MY KEYS, WITH THE MACE.

PSST! PSST! PSST!

LISA, HOW'S MOMMA?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER

FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

SHE'S FINE.

WOULD YOU TELL HER

WE JUST GOT IN:

SOME PEPPERED BRIE?

THE KIND SHE LIKES.

YEAH.

( door closes )

( loud barking )

( barking continues )

UNH! OH!

ARE YOU OKAY?

IS SOMEONE CHASING YOU, HONEY?

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TALK?

( giggling )

YEAH.

WELL, I SHOULD,

I'M FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

FOURTEEN, NO WAY!

COME ON, YOU'RE

AT LEAST SIXTEEN.

OH, ARE THESE YOURS?

YEAH.

THANKS.

LET'S PICK UP

YOUR GROCERIES, HUH?

THANKS.

MM-HMM.

IS THAT EVERYTHING?

YEAH.

ARE YOU SURE?

'CAUSE I KNOW MY MOM

WOULD HAVE KILLED ME

IF I'D LOST SOMETHING

ON THE WAY HOME.

MINE WOULDN'T.

REALLY?

WELL...

YOU'RE A LUCKY KID.

OKAY, TAKE CARE.

OH -- WATCH

WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

( car alarm chirps )

( car starts )

( door opens )

Katherine:

HONEY, WOULD YOU

START THE WATER AGAIN?

I'M ON THE PHONE.

OKAY.

Katherine:

THANKS FOR GOING.

NO PROBLEM.

MOM, I WANT TO

GO OUT ON THAT DATE.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

YOU'RE JUST GONNA

HAVE TO TRUS THAT I KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

MOM, YOU'RE ALWAYS

SAYING THAT I'M SMART.

AND I AM SMART --

I'M AS SMAR AS ANY SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD.

PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME

THAT I LOOK LIKE I'M SIXTEEN.

BUT, HONEY, YOU'RE NOT.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU THINK

THAT TWO YEARS IS

A REALLY LONG TIME,

BUT YOU NEED IT.

YOU NEED I TO LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF.

I WISH I HAD:

TAKEN THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, MOM,

DATING DOES NO NECESSARILY MEAN

GETTING PREGNANT.

( sighs )

NO, IT DOESN'T.

BUT IT-IT DOES MEAN

A WHOLE SET OF PROBLEMS

THAT YOU ARE NO EMOTIONALLY READY

TO HANDLE.

HONEY, I WAS FOURTEEN ONCE, TOO.

I WANTED IT ALL,

I WANTED IT REALLY FAST...

LISA, I WILL NEVER,

EVER REGRET HAVING YOU.

BUT I DO REGRE NOT TAKING MORE TIME

BEFORE I MOVED:

INTO AN ADULT WORLD.

I'M NOT GONNA

LET YOU MAKE THAT MISTAKE.

I WON'T ALLOW IT.

YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR.

YOU'VE ALWAYS SAID

THAT I HAVE A SAY

IN EVERYTHING.

WHY DON'T I HAVE

A SAY IN THIS?

YOU'RE HAVING A SAY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE'RE DISCUSSING IT.

IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA

TURN OUT IN YOUR FAVOR.

HONEY...

YOU'RE FOURTEEN.

DON'T WISH YOUR LIFE AWAY.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

PLENTY OF TIME:

TO EXPERIENCE:

EVERYTHING YOU WANT,

I PROMISE.

( sighs )

CAN WE EAT?

( sighs )

( Love Machine

EARTH TO LISA.

OH, GOD,

THAT WAS AWFUL.

YOU LOOKED LIKE:

YOU WERE HAVING FUN.

FUN? DO YOU KNOW

WHAT IT'S LIKE

HAVING TO WATCH:

EVERY WORD YOU SAY

SO YOU DON'T SOUND

LIKE A TOTAL GEEK?

AND IN THE MIDDLE

OF A SENTENCE:

TRYING TO REMEMBER IF
