Claire Danes, Sarah Bolger and James Marsden star as the Diamond family.

Lucy is a self-confessed tomboy who gets on well with her father Chuck, but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he works in Canada.

When her father comes back, which is only three times a year, Lucy says that she skips a whole week of school and that Lainee lies to Chuck about not having a job and stays home.

Chuck appears to be what Lucy calls an "old-fashioned" man because he wants to provide for the family and therefore looks down upon Lainee having a job.

Lucy decides that the only way she could believe this is if Kenny does kiss her, resulting in a friends-with-benefits type relationship.

After her mother and father start arguing, Lucy becomes upset with herself and runs off to Kenny's house.

When Lucy comes home she finds her father has dragged Scott Booker into the house to apologize and verbally abuses him until he does.
