~~Madison: (starting to come down the stairs with just a towel on) Ephram? I just remembered, we also need- (she noticed Nina was standing in the doorway looking at her)-shit!~~
Ephram: (was also looking at her looked back at Nina, he was scared to death) Nina...I can explain...
Nina was stunned, she didn't know how to respond. She crossed her arms waiting for his explanation.
Nina: Please...do
Ephram: Well...Madison was just...(he didn't know how to explain)
Madison: I was...on a run when Ephram called me...so I came over here and I needed a shower...
Nina: Uh huh...so why was Ephram in the shower?
Madison: um...
Ephram: I had just gotten out when she came over...
Nina: Why would you ask her to come over if you were in the shower? (not buying a word)
Ephram: I...didn't think it would take that long...there was... no hot water.
Nina: Oh...well I'm sure your dad would totally understand...
Madison: No! um...he might not believe us
Ephram: Yeah...this doesn't exactly look as innocent as it was...and it was VERY innocent...
Nina: well I can just explain it to him...he is a very understanding guy...
Ephram: But why...I mean he doesn't have to know...w-what's the harm in not saying anything?
Madison: Yeah...I mean nothing happened...and I wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise.
Ephram: (looking at his watch) Madison you better go get dressed...the movie starts soon...
Madison: What mo- (seeing his expression) oh yeah...that's why I had to shower here...you know cause otherwise we wouldn't make the movie...anyways, I better go get ready...
Nina: Well...I think I better go...don't want to keep you from your movie
Nina turned around and started walking away in disbelief.
Ephram: Wait Nina! What are you gonna tell my dad?
Nina: (she truly didn't know) I have to think about it...
She left.
Ephram went back up stairs, he was terrified, what if Nina tells his dad, everything would be ruined.
Madison: Oh my god Ephram...I'm so sorry, I didn't know...this is all my fault.
Madison was standing in his doorway wearing one of his shirts and sweatpants. She looked as horrified as he felt.
Ephram: No...it's not your fault...you didn't know...
Madison: Is she going to tell your dad?
Ephram: I don't know...but we have to figure something out
Madison: I know...but who knows...maybe he'll be ok with it? (she said optimistically)
Ephram: This is my dad we're talking about...
Madison: I know...that's what scares me
Ephram: No matter what happens...we'll be together
Madison: (walking up to him and holding his hands in hers) There wasn't a doubt in my mind.
Ephram kissed one of her hands.
Ephram: How bout that Newlyweds marathon?
Madison: Sounds good
They walked downstairs holding hands.
Back at the hockey game.
Andy: (standing up from his seat) wooohooo!! Go team!
Delia: Dad...that was the other team that scored. (she rolled her eyes)
Linda was laughing.
Delia: It's not funny...it's stupid
Andy: Alright Delia...I've had about enough of this! You better change your attitude or there will be consequences!
Delia: Whatever (she crossed her arms and looked forward)
Andy sighed and looked at Linda.
Linda: Andy...I think we're out of popcorn...can you go get us some more?
Andy: Sure...I'll be right back
After and left Delia just kept staring ahead, acting like Linda wasn't even there.
Linda: Listen Delia...I know you don't like the idea of your dad and me...but we really like each other, and we like spending time together...I think if you just give me a chance-
Delia: No thanks
Linda: Your dad really cares about what you think, it hurts him to know that you don't like me...personally I don't care if you like me or not...I mean I don't like you very much either. (Linda was trying out one of the parenting techniques she had heard about)
Delia: Really?
Linda: Yeah...I mean... you're always wearing those stupid hats
Delia: They're not stupid! Not as stupid as your red hair!
Linda: I know...I've really been meaning to color it...I just haven't had the time...what else you got?
Delia: (she liked this) Your food is nasty...
Linda: Ouch...now that one was painful
Delia: And....and your car is really ugly!
Linda: That's true, it is pretty ugly...but I just got it for the mileage...anything else?
Delia was thinking, she didn't know what else to say.
Linda: You see Delia, you can't think of anything, because you don't know me...you haven't given me a chance...I'm sure that if you get to know me you will have plenty of insults to throw my way...
Delia cracked a smile.
Andy came back down the stairs carrying a huge tub of popcorn.
Andy: Here you go (he handed Linda the popcorn)
Back at the house, Ephram and Madison were leaning on opposite sides of the couch, their feet entangled together under a blanket.
Madison: I can't believe she thought buffalo wings were from real buffalo!
Ephram: That just proves that all blondes are alike
Madison: (kicking him) funny...Ephram (more seriously) what are we gonna do if Nina tells your dad...about today?
Ephram: Run
Madison: (smiled) seriously...I mean we have to tell him something...
Ephram: Can't we just pray that Nina doesn't say anything?
Madison: Do you seriously think that's gonna happen?
Ephram: Is it a crime to be optimistic?
Madison: No...but it is better to have some sort of plan, so if she does tell him we will know what to say
Ephram: We're going to lie right? I really don't want to go through any more of those talks...
Madison: (smiled) I was planning on it
Ephram: thank god
Madison: But what can we say? I mean I really don't think Nina bought our little improv show this morning.
Ephram: yeah...but she'll probably tell him what we told her, so we just have to smooth it out a little.
Madison: We didn't even explain why I was supposedly taking a shower here, I mean cause the movie was starting? ...I still could have showered at my place.
Ephram: I know...well I am sure about one thing...
Madison: What's that?
Ephram: I am definitely not going on "Who's Line is it Anyway?" anytime soon.
Madison: I think that's a good idea.
Ephram: Ok...I called you and told you to come over, you didn't know what for...you came straight from your run...
Madison: You told me we were going to the movies, I smelled...so I took a shower
Ephram: Finishing each other's sentences...scary
Madison: It's perfect, should totally work
Ephram: I don't think he'll buy it
Madison: Why not?
Ephram: Because, as he likes to tell me daily, he was young once... he probably won't believe anything we say.
Madison: Would you rather tell him the truth?
Ephram: Good point
Madison: What time is it?
Ephram: Like 6
Madison: I'm starved...I have this random craving for cheese
Ephram: I think we have some
They both got up and went into the kitchen.
Ephram: (leaning into the fridge) cheddar or string?
Madison: String?
Ephram: yeah you know, you pull off the strings of cheese...
Madison: Yeah I know what it is...but did you actually think it was a type of cheese?
Ephram: Yeah, why?
Madison: (laughing) It's not...it's just mozzarella in stick form...
Ephram: What are you some kind of cheese expert?
Madison: No...I just have common sense.
Ephram threw her a stick of string cheese, then he got out the milk. He went to the pantry and took out a box of cereal.
Madison: Wow...you're going all out...very gormet
Ephram: Want some?
Madison: why not?
Ephram grabbed two bowls out of the cabinet and Madison got some spoons out.
They ate the cereal and then went back to watch a movie.
At the hockey game.
Andy: Well...that was a great game...
Delia: (getting up from her seat) we lost 5-1
Andy: Well I give them an A for effort...
Linda: (smiling) At least it was fun...
They got to the car.
Delia: I'm hungry
Andy: We just had all that popcorn
Delia: No dad...YOU just had all that popcorn
Linda: She's right Andy...you did go through that bucket pretty fast.
Andy: Oh come on...you had some!
Linda: Yeah I grabbed a handful when you turned around to yell at that kid who was throwing milk duds at you...
Delia started laughing.
Andy: Ok then...I'm sure there is a place to eat around here...what d'ya say?
Linda: Sounds good to me...Delia?
Delia: Taco Bell!
They got into the car and followed the traffic out of the parking lot.
Back at the house...
Ephram: Well I liked it...
Madison: You can't be serious?
Ephram: What? I think that Bennifer had great chemistry...
Madison: Were we watching the same movie?
Ephram: Ok...so what now?
Madison: I don't know...we could continue with the crappy movie marathon...I saw that you had "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"
Ephram: That's Delia's! (quickly responding)
Madison: Sure (sarcastically)
Ephram: Oh yeah...cause you know I am a huge fan of Hillary Duff...I mean...I am an avid Lizzie McGuire watcher...
Madison: Really? I kinda pictured you as a "That's So Raven" type of guy...
Ephram: Well...appearances can be deceiving
Madison: Yes...they can (she moved over to him and gave him a kiss)
Ephram: (was also looking at her looked back at Nina, he was scared to death) Nina...I can explain...
Nina was stunned, she didn't know how to respond. She crossed her arms waiting for his explanation.
