"Previously on "Everwood"..." " Hey, I'm Stephanie." " Amy." "Yeah, I know, you're in my soc-120 section." "You always say really smart stuff." "Oh, thanks." "Think she'll remember these last 9 months?" "Not to the extent that you will." "Schizophrenia is a brutal disease." "Kathy is a brave woman to go through with this pregnancy." "Your tests came back, James." "Your body's fighting a losing battle." "So, what, that's it?" "Then I just die?" "I'm so sorry." "You're moving?" "I'm sorry, I thought you told him." "I was going to, but we kind of got sidetracked." "I'm not proposing." "Why are you holding a diamond ring?" "If Nina comes to the decision on her own, I'll propose to her right then and there." "He'd never tell you about the ring because he doesn't think he deserves to, but I do." "He's my dad, and I want to see him happy." "He deserves it." "I think you do, too." "Irv was amongst the rarest of men in both his integrity and his warmth." "And so today we bid him farewell." "He will be missed." "The studying's been hard, but the rabbi's kind of cute." "Oh, that definitely helps." "I had this physics professor who looked like Johnny Depp." "Made calculating stuff a lot more interesting." "Really?" "You know, I've been told that I have a Depp-like quality." "Yeah, you've been lied to." "Stephanie, you do know that doing the dishes is not a requirement for eating here." "Oh, I don't mind, Dr. Brown." "So, where's this bat mitzvah gonna be?" "Dad rented out the carousel building at the fairgrounds." "Very cool." "Sounds like it's gonna be one rockin' party." "I think that's actually how they phrased it in the torah." "Oh, my god, you should come." "Can you?" "Can she?" "I'd love for Stephanie to come, but it's just not that simple." "This whole event is like a wedding." "There are rented tables and chairs, assigned seating, meals that have already been paid for." "Yeah, but now that Nina, Jake, and Sam aren't coming, we have more seats, right?" "Delia, that's really sweet " "You know what?" "You should come." "There's plenty of room." "I was just being... forget it." "It's not a problem." "As a matter of fact, I insist that you be there." "Really?" "Wait." "Do you even want to come?" "Yeah, I've never been to a bat mitzvah before." "Sounds like fun." "Yeah." "What could be more fun than a lot of hebrew and a bunch of rowdy 13-year-olds?" "About 9:30, if we're lucky, we'll break out a limbo stick." "Is he okay?" "Ephram, it's not a big deal." "I don't have to go." "No, no, no." "He's fine." "It's not you." "It's, uh..." "I'll be right back." "What's up?" "Nothing." "Why?" "Uh, well, for starters, you look like you're trying to decapitate that bag of trash." "Plus, there's the whole neighbor/woman you love moving away thing." "Like I said, I'm fine." "So that's it?" "What more can I do?" "She's leaving in two days with Jake." "I obviously don't want her to go, but this is what has to happen." "And it's better for everyone this way." "So what about the ring?" "I'm returning it tomorrow, unless you need it for some reason." "That's funny." "Look, Ephram, I appreciate what you're trying to do, and I love you for it, but I'm returning the ring tomorrow." "Nina's leaving." "It's time to move on." "Wow, when I went to bed last night, you hadn't even started in here." "Yeah, pretty impressive, huh?" "Been up since 5:00 this morning packing nonstop." "Got keepers over here, trash over there." " Coffee?" " Oh, um..." "Oh." "Finished that pot, too." "Want me to make some more?" "That's okay." "I think you've had enough for the both of us." "By the way, I talked to your mom this morning." "She says hi." "I apologized again for kicking you out of the house." "Nina, it's not like I'm gonna be living in a shelter." "The Abbotts have plenty of room, then I'm gonna be home for the summer till college starts, if I get in anywhere." "Are you kidding?" "You're gonna get in everywhere, and they're gonna be lucky to have you." "Okay, this -- trash?" "Oh, the deluxe foot massager." "Oh, no." "Not trash." "You never even opened it." "I know, but it has sentimental value." "It was a gift from Andy." "Ah." ""Ah" what?" "What "ah"?" "Just you and Andy." "Me and Andy what?" "Nothing." "It's just, you know, there's always seemed like there was something between you guys, at least at some point." "Oh, really?" "You noticed that, huh?" "And you never told me." "I figured you knew." "Well, I didn't." "Well, I mean, I kind of did, but I didn't -- wasn't really sure until he kissed me last year, and then he told me that he loved me." "But that was because he thought I was still in love with him, but I wasn't anymore since Jake was moving in that day." "Okay, information overload." "And then that whole ring thing happened." "I'm " " I'm sorry." "An engagement ring?" "Yeah, apparently he bought it a few weeks ago." "That's crazy, right?" "Did he actually, like " "Oh, no, no, no." "It was a "just in case" kind of thing." "Ephram told me about it." "Andy doesn't know that I know." "So as far as you know, I don't know, and we never had this conversation." "I don't even understand this conversation." "Wait, wait, wait." "So where's the ring now?" "Uh, well, it's probably next door." "So right now, at this very second, there is a diamond ring sitting in a box somewhere with your name on it?" "Well, I don't know if it actually has my name on the box, but, um... yeah." "Wonder what it looks like." "I don't know what it is, but something is definitely wrong." "I don't think my medication is working anymore." "Tell me what's been happening." "I can't describe it, really." "It's just... there in my head." "I feel off." "I feel like I'm slipping back to the way that I was before -- before we had the right pills, and I was so sick all the time." "Louise, would you mind watching Mrs. Carmody's baby, please?" "And she just won't sleep." "I can't calm her down." "I feel like I have no control." "These feelings are all normal, Kathy." "You're in a period of incredible stress right now -- new baby, husband who's just passed away." "Anyone would be having a difficult time." "Your situation's perfectly understandable." "We'll be right outside." "Come on, cutie pie." "I don't know how I'm gonna do this." "I don't think I can." "Not without James, and definitely not feeling the way that I'm feeling." "This is more than just stress." "I'm telling you." "Kathy, listen to me." "Everything is gonna be all right." "Now, I promised your mother and father that I would always look after you." "I will." "I know you did, Dr. Abbott." "And you've been like a father to me." "But I just feel... so... alone." "You're not alone." "I'm here for you." "I'm going to help you through this." "There are just so many options." "Did you know that we could have a big-screen that would literally cover this entire wall?" "If only you were willing to sell your dad's car." "Don't worry about helping me or anything like that." "I'm... fine with this stuff." "Cool." "I have your jacket." "They couldn't get this whole stain out." "Please don't tell me what it was." "Why must you always go to the dark places, little sister?" "Well, is it gross or isn't it?" "Of course it was." "Why not be hopeful?" "You know, live optimistically." "You'll be a much happier person." "I'm bored." "Are you sure I can't get you guys anything, like a sandwich or a soda?" " I'm good." " Just ate." "You want to go with me to buy a big-screen TV?" "I said I was bored, not a 12-year-old boy." "You know what's weird?" "I've spent the past year looking so forward to the day that school's finally over, and now that it is," "I'm just sitting here." "Just hanging out, thinking." "Aren't you going to Washington in, like, two weeks?" "Yeah, but two weeks is a long time." "It's like 14 days." "Okay, now I'm bored." "I'm going to buy us a TV." "You want to go see a movie, Ephram?" "Uh..." "I would, but I think I'm meeting Stephanie later." "Oh, that's cool." "So that's going well, that thing?" "Yeah, it's going great, you know?" "It's kind of like oddly normal." "She comes over, we hang out." "Feels like we've known each other longer than we have." "That's good." "She's going to come to Delia's bat mitzvah." "Oh... really?" "Yeah, so you guys will have a chance to get to know each other if you want." "Cool." "I would really like that." "That sounds great." "Great." "What the hell are you doing?" "Just trying to gauge what is above and beyond the expected nicks and scratches." "It's a floor." "People walk on it." "Just get up and give him his security deposit back." "You're giving me a headache." "Here you go." "Don't spend it all on suntan lotion." "Listen, Hal, I want to thank you for being such a good landlord." "It really meant a lot to me." "Well, hardwood flooring aside, you have been a conscientious tenant." "Oh!" "Holy moses." "Okay." "Good." "Mother, you'll be joining us for dinner?" "Junior, I think you and I can both agree that three nights in a row is more than either one of us can take." "Nonsense." "See you at 6:00." " He's just worried about you." " I know." " So how are you really?" " I'm... getting by." " You gonna be okay?" " Oh, I'll be just fine." "Don't you worry your pretty little head about me." "I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help feeling like I'm abandoning you in your time of need." "I survived Everwood for years without you." "I think I can do it again." "But I really did enjoy working with you, doc." "And, you know..." "I'm proud of you... for what you did and for what you're doing now." "You know, I'm gonna need a right-hand man out there." "Once I get settled in, you should really think about it." "The sun, the sand." "You're just dying to see me in a bikini." "I don't think I'm an L.A. kind of gal." "Thanks for the offer." "So what is your plan?" "No idea." "Right now... one day at a time." "Okay, I should, uh, I should get going." "I got to help the movers with some of the bigger stuff." "Not a problem." "I'll lock up." "Okay." "Thanks." "So, I'll see you." "I'll see you later." "Bye, Edna." "I can't believe I let you talk me into this." "We should really go." "No way." "No way." "It's too late to go back now." "You check there." "I'll go there." "Go!" "Go!" "Who knew men could have so many shoes?" "Well, he's from New York." "Oh, right." "Hannah." "Hannah!" " Don't do that!" " I didn't." " You found it?" " I know." "Are you gonna open it?" "I don't know." " Delia?" " Oh, crap." "Oh, my gosh." "You're so busted!" " Be cool, be cool!" " I can't." "Hey, hey!" "Shh, shh, shh!" "I will handle this, okay?" "Okay." "Oh, hi, Dr. Brown." "Hannah, what are you doing here?" "I'm just looking for a sweatshirt " " Sam's sweatshirt." "Nina thought he might have left it here." "You know that red one that he loves?" "Have you seen it?" "The sweatshirt?" "No, but I'll keep my eye out for it." "Great!" "Thanks!" "Um, you know what?" "It's crazy." "I'm having this craving for cocoa." "Do you have any?" "Probably." "Fantastico!" "How about I just make us both a cup?" "It's so long since we just sat and talked." "Have we ever done that?" "Dr. Brown." "Of course we have!" "I would love to, but what do you want to talk about?" "You know, it's interesting." "I-I..." " Ephram Brown." " Hey, Jake." "I'm gonna miss you and your sullen ways." "Any word on what's gonna happen to the place when you leave?" "I heard something about Thurman opening up a moroccan restaurant." "Yeah, the guy is obsessed with belly dancers." "But we're not gonna close it." "We're just gonna hire a new manager." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "And Nina's gonna come back once a month for a while just to help with the transition." " That's good." " Yeah." "You know, she's the first person I met when I moved here, so she's a big part of the reason Everwood feels like home to me... and to my dad." "Right." "I guess that's just why this all seems so sudden, you know?" "How do you mean?" "She's been living here her entire life, perfectly happy, surrounded with people that she loves, people that love her, people that would do anything for her." "It's a big decision." "Well..." "I know it might not make sense from the outside, but Nina and I are in this together." "I'm not twisting her arm." "But you got to admit, it's a little bit surprising." "Life is supposed to surprise you." "I bet you you've got a picture in your mind about how everything's gonna turn out for you -- what you're gonna do, who you're gonna be with." "And I'm sure your dad had a picture, too." "But there are windows that don't stay open forever, missed opportunities that never come back to you." "And waiting for them doesn't necessarily mean you're strong or even right." "Sometimes it just means that you're afraid to change the picture." "It happens to everyone." "You know what I've learned?" "Life is too short." "Take care of yourself." "Hannah?" "You busy?" "No, just packing up my room again." "I need your help with something." "Okay." "Tell me that I don't like Ephram." "Oh, no." "You are not gonna get me that easy, Amy Abbott." "I did not just fall off the pickle truck." "No one's saying that you did." "No one's saying that ever." "You told me that Ephram was none of my business." "Remember our little fight?" "I thought we weren't supposed to talk about him anymore." "Oh, really?" "That was crazy talk... just like this might be crazy talk." "See, that's the thing." "I don't really know anymore." "I can't tell." "So just tell me -- tell me that I don't like Ephram." "Really, just like that?" "Yes, but only if you really, truly believe it." "You don't like Ephram." "Exactly." "See, I'm probably just feeling weird because of that girl." "Wait, wait." "You're jealous of Stephanie?" "No." "That would mean that I like him, which I do not." "I mean, I might not agree with his choices." "I might think that it's a little bit sudden." "I mean, she's always at his house." "But you're not jealous." "Absolutely not." "No." "I just " " I wouldn't want things to go unfinished." "You know?" "The whole "Ephram and I" thing, it's... it's a long story, and I think we all deserve a little bit of closure, you know, before we go off and do anything crazy." "Has been a lot of crazy going on in Everwood recently." "I know." "But it's not coming from me." "You know why?" "Because you are keeping me sane." "I don't like Ephram, and you are totally helping me see that." "Thank you." "Sure." "Oh, no." "Let's hurry up and find Delia's present." "I think I'm breaking out in hives." "Oh, you don't need to pretend with me, Ephram." "Hey, dad." "What?" "Calm down." "No, I didn't take it." "I'm cool on the crack fund this week." "Well, you probably just misplaced it." "I'll help you look for it when I get home." "Okay, bye." "My dad is out of his mind." "What are you talking about?" "He's nice." "Really, you don't have to do that." "I kind of like him, but it's taken me 18 years to get there." "I'm serious." "He's sweet, and he's funny." "Funny?" "Okay, promise me right now you will never tell him you think he's funny." "Trust me, it's for your own good." "He'll start testing out material on you." "You'll slowly start to go numb." "Whatever." "Everybody thinks their parents are lame." "Seriously, Ephram, your house -- it's a lot better than most people's." "Plus, you got really great snacks." "I cannot believe you're using me like this for pudding." "What's wrong?" "No, no, nothing." "I was just thinking about it, and I can't believe that I haven't done something or said something really stupid or, you know, accidentally tripped you or something." "Um..." "listen, I, um..." "I have something really, really bad to tell you." "Are you ready?" "I think you're great." "And don't worry about tripping me." "I got excellent balance." "So when is Hannah moving in to my room?" "What?" "I'm just curious." "Bright, promise you won't be a freak about this." "What are you talking about?" "All I'm saying is you've both been through a lot." "You got to be careful about this stuff." "You can't just keep hanging around here acting like you act." "Before you know it, she's gonna have feelings for you again, which is the last thing that is supposed to happen when you break up with somebody." "Okay?" "Bright... go get the paper." "What the..." "Mom, dad, you better come see this!" ""I know in my heart that you will take good care of Lily." "Everyone will be better off this way." "Thank you, and I'm sorry." "Kathy."" "That poor girl." "Who's Kathy?" "She's a patient of mine." "And she just gave you her baby." "Is that even allowed?" "Of course not, idiot." "It looks like it is." "There's a baby here." "Bright, Amy, please." "So, what are you gonna do?" "Well, I-I'm gonna find Kathy and talk to her." "She's obviously confused and scared." "She was in my office yesterday, just a wreck." "You should go and find her, dear." "You'll be okay?" "Yeah, we'll be fine." "It's just so sad." "Amy, I'm gonna need you to go to the store." "We'll need diapers, baby wipes, uh, bottles and formula." "We'll make a list, okay?" "What, are you gonna keep it?" "For now." "Someone has to take care of this child." "Hey, hon, I can't tell which of this stuff stays in Everwood and which is going to Minnesota." "Just bring them all down." "What the..." "We have a huge problem." "I know." "Trying to stuff this clock into this box, which is clearly a mistake." "I found this in Hannah's room." "Oh, my gosh." "Did you know anything about this?" "We have to talk to her and tell her what a huge mistake this would be." "Besides, how can Bright even afford a ring?" "Does that guy even have a job?" "You should see the size of this thing." "No, no, I don't want to see it." "It's not Hannah's ring." "Well, then, whose is it?" "Mine, kind of." "What are you talking about?" "It's from Andy." "Andy." "It -- it's not what you think." "It's an engagement ring from Andy." "It's probably pretty close to what I think." "He never even gave it to me." "Then what's it doing here?" "What's going on, Nina?" "Nothing." "It shouldn't even be here." "It's all a big mistake, which I can explain, which I obviously will explain, except that I can't right now, 'cause I really need to get it back over there before he realizes that it's missing." " So can we just " " Just table it for now?" " Yeah, sure." "Why not?" " Okay." "I'll take it back for you." "Jake." "Jake, no, please." "It's fine." "Oh." "Damn." "Hey, Jake." "How's the packing going?" "Good." "We're almost done." "Oh, great." "Yeah." "Uh, we found a few things of yours, and I thought I'd bring them back to you." "Thanks." "There's that." "You know, I really don't know " "That's Delia's." "It's a curling iron." "Right, right." "For the hair, okay." "And you probably want this back, too." "It's yours, right?" "I've been looking for that." "Where'd you find it?" "Is that really what you want to talk about right now?" "Because I was thinking of starting with why you bought my girlfriend an engagement ring, but if you want to talk about where I found it " "I never gave it to her." "I'm not really sure that's the point." "That actually is the point." "As long as you and Nina were together, I had no intention of ever giving her that ring." "It has nothing to do with you." "So, basically, you bought it just in case we broke up, which, obviously, you thought we would." "Well, I'm not gonna lie to you." "I was hoping it wouldn't work out." "But seeing as you two are moving to California tomorrow, I obviously was wrong." "You were wrong." "That's all you have to say?" "Oh, no, I have a lot to say... but I don't think you want to hear it, because I think she made a mistake." "I think I love her more than you ever can or will." "It's over, Jake." "You won." "Nina chose you again." "Well, I guess that's what's bothering me." "What is that?" "Well, if Nina keeps choosing me... then why do I keep having this same conversation with you?" "Let's go, people!" "Let's go!" "Take it easy." "We've been out there waiting for you." "I don't want to hear any lip from you, Ephram." "Today, I am a woman." "Yeah, that's not gonna get old." "Oh, you look so beautiful, Delia." "Oh, shoot." "Let me get my camera." "Dad, we hired people for that." "It would be more personal if I did it myself." "I don't want personal." "I want perfect." "Now, let's go." "We're on a tight schedule." "Yes, we know." "We all received xeroxed copies of the itinerary." "Good." "Then you know that we're already three minutes late." "Dad?" "Come on." "You're really not going?" "Oh, I wish I could, sweetheart, but someone has to stay with Lily." "You give my love to the Browns, okay?" "All right, let's get to the car." "Goodbye, Mrs. Abbott." "Bye." " Bye, mom." " Bye, sweetheart." "So, I was going to call the authorities about Lily first thing in the morning." "We'll take it from there." "Maybe we shouldn't call just yet." "Now, I've been thinking about this, Harold, and I'm not sure we should involve anyone official at this point." "Don't worry " " I'm not suggesting that we keep Lily." "I haven't gone completely insane." "But if we call child services now, they'll just put her into the system, and we both know that's not what Kathy wanted." "So, what are you suggesting we do?" "Well, before we involve the authorities, let's hire someone -- try and find her ourselves." "I-I'm just thinking of what's best for Lily and for Kathy." "Oh, she's up." "I should go." "Well, let's talk more about this when I come home." "You get some rest." "Dad... could you stay up here with me for a second?" "Sure." "My mom and I used to talk about what this day would be like." "I always thought the three of us would be up here together, but I feel like she's watching us right now." "I hope she knows she's still a part of us every day, and she always will be." "Mom, this candle's for you." "Oh, Delia did such a good job..." "I think." "I mean, I don't understand hebrew." "That's okay." "Nobody really does." "Look at your dad." "He looks so proud." "I know." "Doesn't he?" "Come on." "Let's go dance." "Really?" "You want to brave the hora?" "What did you call me?" "Come on." "Okay, so they're dancing." "That's fine." "Is it not fine?" "No, it's good." "There's no reason for me to feel weird about this." "Oh, boy." "She seems perfectly nice." "Yeah, I thought so, too." "You know, and I actually " "Okay, maybe I'm just a little bit jealous, but I think that's normal when your ex-boyfriend's dancing with another girl, right?" "I guess." "I mean, it would be weird if I didn't feel something." "I'm not dead inside." "I really don't know what you want me to say here." "No, no, I don't want you to say anything, unless you have something to say." "Do you?" "Do you want to dance?" "Love to." "Yeah, we should, for the children and for god." "I don't have anything to say." "So, what would you have said?" "If Andy had asked you to marry him, what would you have said?" "Are you serious?" "I'm curious." "Well, obviously, I would have said no." "Is it that obvious?" "I love you, Jake." "If Andy has feelings and does crazy things because of those feelings, I can't control that." "I know." "But you still felt you had to see that ring." "I don't know why." "I guess I just got caught up in the moment, but I wish " " I wish that I hadn't." "I wish Ephram hadn't told me about it in the first place." "Can we just forget it ever happened?" "I can forget about it, if you can be honest with me about something." "Of course, anything." "Do you still love him?" "Well, I guess I got my answer." "No, you don't." "It's not that simple." "Except that it is, or, at least, it should be." "And we have to talk about it before we get on that plane." "Are you still in love with him?" "I don't know." "I mean, maybe a part of me is, a small part, but I think that's normal, considering our history." "But none of that matters because the bigger part of me is in love with you and leaving tonight for a new life together." "And once we're gone, this whole Andy thing will be behind us." "I mean, deep down, isn't that part of the reason why you asked me, so we could start a new life without anybody in the way?" "Yeah, actually, it was, but I realize now that that was the wrong reason for me to ask, and the wrong reason for you to say yes." "I can't be with someone who has doubts, Nina, no matter how small they are." "I need someone who wants to be with me as much as I want to be with her." "But I love you, Jake." "I know." "But I don't want just part of your heart." "I want all of it, and you can't promise me that." "Flight 63 to Los Angeles now boarding." "Listen to me." "When I first came to Everwood, I had a serious drug problem, and I knew it, but I tried to ignore it." "I just pretended that it didn't even exist, and for a while, that actually worked." "But you can't pretend forever." "You can only pretend for so long, and that's why I slipped up." "Well, it's the same thing with you and Andy." "We can ignore it now, and maybe everything will be fine, but we both know that it's not gonna go away." "And to be honest," "I'm tired of pretending that it will." "I want you to know these last two years have been the best of my life." " Jake " " I mean it." "I never expected to find love here in the first place... or to find myself, and I did both of those things because of you." "You changed my life." "Wait." "Don't wake Sammy up until I'm on the plane, okay?" "I'm gonna miss you, Nina." "I'm gonna miss you, too." "Ephram." "Ephram, Ephram, Ephram." "Where's your lady friend?" "She's mingling for fun." "It's starting to freak me out." "You know what's freaking me out?" "How good this is." "Have you had any yet?" "Oh, goodness." "You're drinking kosher wine." "Hey, so's the kid at table 8, and he's like 12." "How's everything going here?" "Delia... today, you are a woman." "Oh, boy." "I know." "Okay." "Being a woman is a great responsibility, but don't worry, because I am gonna tell you all of my secrets and all of my wisdom." "What was I talking about?" "Be proud, girlfriend." "You are a woman." "Okay, this has been great." "I have more tables to say hi to." "See you guys later." "No, no, no, no, no." "Hey." "Here you go." "Look at you in that suit." "It's very snazzy." "Thank you." "I always feel a little weird when I wear one." "You didn't feel weird coming to Everwood with that purple hair." "Ha ha." "Funny." "I thought so." "Oh, my god." "I love this song." "It's been playing for a while now." "Would you dance with me?" "I don't think that's a good idea." "Come on." "I got some new moves." "You got to see them." "Sure." "Why not?" "Still want to?" "# Hava nagila, hava nagila, hava nagila #" "She's almost asleep." "Oh, well, she's just cramping my style." "How was the bat mitzvah?" "Actually, it was quite lovely." "Quite." "Those jews really know how to party, although, technically, I think there were only about four there." "Where are the girls?" "They're still at the party." "Well, she looks ready for sleep." "You really are ready for bed, aren't you, my little sweetie?" "Night." "So, you're more than welcome to spend the night, but you'll have to crash on the couch since Hannah is now in your room." "That's cool." "I knew you guys would eventually trade me in for her." "No, I think I'll go home." "I don't want it to be awkward in the morning or anything." "Shalom." "Hey, uh, dad." "When do you think Lily's mother is gonna come back?" "Oh, I'm not sure." "Why do you ask?" "I just hope it's soon." "Mom seems to be getting pretty attached." "Any longer, and giving back that baby is not gonna be so easy for her." "I know." "But we are going to find Kathy." "What if you don't?" "What if she just doesn't want to be found?" "What are you gonna do then?" "I have no idea." "How you feeling?" "Uh, I'm thinking about puking." "Yeah, I know." "That's why we're walking slowly and why you're gonna remember to turn away from me when you do it." "How do you do it?" "How do you manage to be such a well-behaved lady?" "You and Bright seemed so hunky-dory." "It wasn't easy, but it wasn't entirely terrible, either." "I like you." "You're a good person." " You know what?" " What?" "You were wrong." "I was wrong." "We were both horribly, horribly wrong." "About what?" "Ephram." "I'm still in love with him." "Hey." "Have I told you how great you were tonight?" "Like five times." "Yeah, but only once since we got home." "Okay, time for bed, kiddo." "Get upstairs, and I'll come say good night in a minute." "Nina?" "I don't think you need to read this after all." " What are you do " " Shh!" "He's sleeping." "Sorry." "Aren't you supposed to be on a plane?" "Yeah, that was the plan." "What happened?" "Where's Jake?" "Probably somewhere over Arizona by now." "It just didn't feel right " " I mean, not right enough." "And I gu-- actually, I know it was the best decision for everyone, although I'm not sure Sam's seeing it that way." " Is he asking a lot of questions?" " Yeah." "I don't think he really gets it yet, but I don't know how to explain it, so..." "Well..." "I'm sorry, Nina." "It's okay." "I'm just so sorry to bother you with this." "I just didn't know where else to go." "This is exactly where you're supposed to go." "You don't have to apologize to me." "Well, look, I'll go set up Ephram's room." "I'll be great, and I promise I'll have a game plan tomorrow morning." "You don't have to figure this out by tomorrow." "Take some time." "You can stay here as long as you need to." "Thank you, Andy." "I'll give you a call later?" "Absolutely." "But you should say goodbye to your sweatshirt now." "'Cause I don't think you're gonna be seeing it again." "That's why I gave you the one with the stain on it." " I'll talk to you later." " Bye." "Bye." "Yeah!" "Ephram Brown, ladies and gentlemen." "That's the first un-recycled action you've had in this apartment all year." "Mazel tov." "Learned me some jewish last night." "It's called hebrew, and stop clapping, please." "How was it?" "There was no "it."" "It was, uh... we -- you know, we hung out." "We got back." "It was late." "I didn't think she should drive, so she spent the night." "No big beal." "Couldn't close the deal, huh?" "That's weird." "Little miss hot and sassy " " I would have expected more." "It wasn't a matter of couldn't." "I didn't think it was the right time to." "Oh, right, because lord knows she's not hot enough, with those legs and the formal wear and the high heels." "When you start noticing the shoes, it makes me ask a lot of questions." "So, did your sister get back all right last night?" "She was pretty wrecked." "Hannah took her home or something." "Should we call and check, just to make sure?" "Aha!" "That's why there was no "it" with Stephanie." "You danced with the devil last night." "It fogged your brain, clogged your drain." "Don't rhyme." "Don't rhyme and don't clap." "Dude, what are you doing?" "Nothing." "No, I'm just saying that there might have been some feelings last night." "I thought I should think about those feelings before I take any action on the Stephanie feelings." "You're gonna screw this whole thing up." "You realize that, right?" "I'm just saying if I felt something, maybe she felt something, too." "She didn't." "She didn't feel anything." "Ephram, that's your problem." "You think there's juice left in that box, but there isn't." "Man, you got Stephanie." "She's hot, she's totally into you, and she brings no drama to the table." "You are gonna throw that away." "For what?" "For nothing." "I guess you have a point." "Stephanie, she's pretty cool." "She's smart, and she's funny." "Dude, she's awesome." "Why you gonna risk that for something that you and I both know cannot and will not happen?" "Ephram, you guys had sex." "You gave her the stack of postcards." "You remember?" "You told her that you loved her." "Dude, she blew you off." "You think a dance at a bat mitzvah is gonna change any of that?" "You're right." "Most of the time." "Can I have that box back now, please?" "It's our last box." "It's very tricky." "Obviously, if I would have realized that I was still in love with Ephram," "I don't know, let's say, a month ago " " Less tricky." " Exactly." " But now with the girlfriend " " Minefield." "I have to tell him." "I can't not tell him because he met a girl." "You saw that dance." "That was hot." "There was heat there." "A flame that will not die." " Exactly." " Yeah." "I don't think it was that hot with him and the other one." " Stephanie?" " Whatever." " So you agree." "He needs to know." " Agreed." "How do I proceed?" "I think you proceed by telling him." "That's not a plan." "A plan has prongs." "Don't you watch "Law  Order"?" "You did not kill someone and try and hide the body from Sam Waterston, so I don't see how that applies." "You think that I should waltz on over to Ephram's and tell him that I want to get back together with him?" "What if he thinks that it's an act of jealousy?" "You know that's what he's gonna think." "Then you tell him that it's not." " 'Cause it's not, right?" " Right." "And you're absolutely, 100% positive about that?" "I wasn't, not at first." "But then after Irv's funeral, I was sitting there with my grandma, and we were talking about, you know, how Irv made her feel and how much she loved him, and I realized that's how Ephram makes me feel " "not just safe, but happy." "He makes me laugh, and I know he'll be there for me when I cry." "He's always been there for me." "I'm just finally realizing how rare that is." "That -- you say that." "You write that down." " Really?" " Yeah." "Could work." "Yes." "Junior, I didn't know you were coming " "Quiet, now." "She's still asleep." "I've been driving for half an hour -- always did the trick with Amy, too." "What on god's earth?" "Behold, mother, the wonders of modern parenthood -- bouncy chair, 3-compartment diaper bag, assorted books and toys, all certified, nontoxic, and educational." "Oh, get a look at this -- electric bottle warmer." "How'd the meeting with the lawyer go?" "Very well, very well." "We've been approved as temporary guardians." "Attorneys say that if they're not able to find Kathy within 90 days, we have a good chance of being awarded permanent custody." "We wouldn't even have to formally adopt." "She could come back, you know." "I'm aware of that, but you try not getting attached to this little angel." "Mother, what is all this?" "Packing." "I can see that, but it seems like an awful lot for a vacation." "It's not for a vacation." "I'm moving to Africa." "Gonna shack up with your sister, do some good for the world." "Mother, you can't move to Africa." "Why not?" "Linda says there's a shortage of nurses there." "I've got the field experience." "Why not use it?" "The pay's not too shabby, either." "Okay, mother, I know you're grieving." "I know it must be difficult being alone, but this is insanity." "Actually, it makes perfect sense." "Irv's gone." "Bright and Amy are all grown up, and I don't have a job anymore." "So come back to work for me and Andy." "You and I have had our run." "I figure Linda deserves equal time." "Mother, this is the grief talking." "You are not thinking straight." "Oh, grief." "You know, I've never been much of a mourner." "And I'm moving on to phrase three." "Harper would have wanted it that way." "Oh!" "Look who's awake." "Hello, little lady." "Oh!" "Oh, my goodness." "Let's go see what our temporary guardian of a grandmother has for us." "Who's the smart baby, huh?" "Who's the smart, little baby?" "Is it you?" "Everyone always says how cute they are, but how superficial is that?" "Don't you have someone to meet this morning?" "Isn't there a plan in action?" "Yeah, but I still have time." "I said, "what do you think we should do?" Do you want to call her?" "Why is he yelling?" "He's on the phone with your aunt Linda." "Must be a bad connection." "Can I feed her?" "Is that okay?" "Well, of course, sweetheart." "Just be sure that you support her head." "I will." "Yeah." "Love to you, too, sweetheart." "Unbelievable." "What is it, dear?" "Mother never called Linda, nor is my sister expecting her anytime soon." "No, the woman blatantly lied to me." "Maybe she hasn't got around to calling Linda yet." "Oh no no." "She was on her way." "Her bags were packed." "Obviously my mother was making up the entire thing." "The question is, why?" "Maybe she met someone." "That's crazy." "It's only been two weeks." " It's happened before." " Oh, indeed." "The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." "There's no need for Shakespeare." "We get the point." "It would explain why she's embarrassed to tell the truth." "Do you see what I have to put up with here?" "Jensen." "He's had his eye on my mother since their senior prom." "Dad, give her some credit." "All right, enough." "This is your mother, Harold." "She's upset, and she's grieving." "I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for her behavior." "Have you thought about simply asking her?" "Oh, we will have a conversation." "You can be assured of that." "Oh." "Anyone have a towel?" " Who wants another eggo?" " I have one." "Dad, some travel-agent guy called and said he could get you a ticket for tomorrow." "Great, thanks." "Where you going?" "Just a business thing." "I'll be gone about a day or so." "$850 for a 2-bedroom?" "These people are insane." "Why do you have to get a new place so soon?" "We have lots of room here." "Right, dad?" "Right." "Mom, I can't make the song switch!" "Calm down, you." "It's Delia's." "It's brand-new." "Please don't break it." "It's okay." "He can have it." "There's another one in here." "Really?" "Cool!" "I got an idea." "Why don't we get cleaned up and head over to the mall?" "We can make a day of it." "Yes!" "Is that where my present is?" "You didn't get her a bat mitzvah present?" "He says it's a surprise, which is code for he forgot." "I didn't forgot." "I told you, good things come to those who wait." "Mom." "Sam, what?" "Wait till we finish." "Then say, "excuse me."" "Okay, excuse me." "I want to call Jake." "If you want to use the phone, it's right here, Sam." "That's okay." "Mom has his number in her cellphone." "Where's your purse?" "I can't really see you working at the mall, not even for a summer job." "I know, me neither, but I got to do something before AM." "I'm gonna take a couple courses this summer, figure out my major." "Maybe next summer I can get a job that has something to do with the field I'm gonna work in." "Wow, I'm really proud of you, Bright." "Why?" "No, seriously." "You're figuring all your stuff out." "I don't even know what I want to major in." "You got so much time to think about it." "Don't even worry about it." "Have you narrowed down a school?" "I heard about Sarah Lawrence." "That sucks." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I didn't think I'd get the full scholarship there." "I wasn't really dying to go there anyway." "So, that basically leaves your top choice as AM?" "Pretty cool." "Actually, I kind of wanted to talk to you about that." "I got my last letter today from Notre Dame." "Notre Dame?" "I didn't even know you applied there." "Well, you were always saying what a great school it was." "Anyway, um, they offered me a full ride." "Oh, my god." "That's incredible." "Yeah, I know." "I know." "What are you gonna do?" "I'm not sure yet." "I wanted to tell you first." "I haven't even told Amy yet." "So, if you decide to go, that would mean " " I mean -- what would that mean?" "I guess that would mean that I'd leave for home on friday and then head straight to Notre Dame after the summer's over." "Okay, when would you be coming back to Everwood?" "That's the thing." "I probably wouldn't." "Thank you so much for meeting with me, Stephanie." "I know I sounded weird on the phone." "Oh, not at all." "So, what's going on?" "Okay, well, um..." "Wow, this is awkward." "Well, you seem like a really nice person, and since I'm majoring in women's studies, it's kind of important to me that -- sisterhood above all!" "Listen, if you're trying to recruit me for the major, I'm pretty locked into marine biology." "No, no." "Um..." "I'm actually here to talk to you about Ephram." "Oh." "Okay." "Well, as I'm sure you know, Ephram and I were kind of... were kind of a thing, you know, like a pretty big thing." "Oh." "Oh, wow, you're the girl that had the baby " "No." "No, no, no, that's Madison." "He told you about Madison?" "Oh, yeah." "Poor girl." "Poor everyone, really -- that seems like a really messed-up situation." "It was, but I'm not Madison, since I'm Amy, so..." "Amy Abbott." "You're his more recent ex, right?" "Yes, yes, that's me." "So he has told you about us a little." "Yeah." "We talk about that kind of stuff." "Doesn't everybody spend the first six dates with the new person complaining about the last six dates with the old one?" "Okay, well, here's the thing." "I still have feelings for Ephram." "Oh." "Yikes." "Mm-hmm." "I know." "Yeah, I see why you thought this might be awkward." "And because of the history and the back-and-forth and the friendship and all of that, I kinda have to tell him... about the feelings." "Okay." "Well, you realize I'm not Ephram, though, right?" "Yeah, no, that's where the sisterhood comes in, remember?" "I get it." "And I appreciate you talking to me about it first." "Okay, so... can I go now?" "Really?" "I mean, yeah." "But are you sure you're okay with this?" "'Cause I'll talk to you about it more if you'd like." "There's no need." "You got to do what you got to do." "I respect that." "To be honest, I'm not that stressed about it." " You're not?" " Not really." "I mean, come on, Amy." "If Ephram wants to get back together with you, there's nothing I can do to stop him." "But I really don't think that's what he wants anymore." "But... good luck." "See you around." " Bye." " Bye." "This would have been a lot easier if you had just given me cash." "Patience, kiddo, patience." "I thought you had a plane to catch." "Don't worry." "We're almost there." "So, I've been thinking." "It's been a pretty rough year, hasn't it?" "I don't know." "I guess." "You barely talked to me for an entire month, and when you did, it was loud." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to be like that." "I guess I kind of got caught up in all that popular-crowd stuff." "I won't be mean to you anymore, dad." "Sure you will." "You're almost a teenager now, and it's gonna get worse before it gets better." " What is?" " Us." "You're growing up." "Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time and keep you as that girl in the baseball hat, but I know I can't." "I also know that it's gonna be a lot more arguments and a lot more tears, and I'm sure you'll hate me again before you finish high school, probably more than once, but I want you to understand that I'm okay with that." "Are you leaving me here in the woods?" "I'm just saying it's never gonna be as easy between us as it was when you were little." "But no matter what happens, just know that I'll always be here... because when you think that I'm not listening, I am." "And when you think I've forgotten, I haven't." "We're here." ""Ranch and Stables"?" "No way." "I made you a promise before we moved here." " It was more of a bribe " " Dad!" "You weren't ready four years ago, but I think you're ready now." "My horse!" "Delia, this is Sugar." "Why don't you introduce yourself?" "Aw, hi, sweetheart." "You're so pretty." "I got you riding lessons." "You're gonna have to clean her stall and brush her." "I will." "I'll do all that." "I love her!" "Thank you, dad!" "Thank you so much!" "Happy birthday, sweetheart." "I loved it." " Hey." " Hey." "Hi." "Oh, I'm just waiting for Hannah." "Always late, that girl." "How was the movie, good?" "Oh, we loved it, right?" "It was definitely the best Will Farrell movie I've seen all day." "Good, I could use a laugh -- not that I'm sad, just always up for a laugh." "You know that about me, right, Ephram?" "Right." "Yeah, um, wow, that's a good jacket." "Is it new?" "Yeah, yeah." "Actually, Stephanie got it for me." "I love shopping for boys." "That old thing he was wearing was so tired." " It's nice, right?" " It's great." "I wear what the lady tells me." "It works out every time." "You're up." "Hmm?" "Oh, right, sorry." "We should get going." "We're gonna be late to meet my dad." "Bye, guys." "See you." "He's six weeks post-op for a lumbar discectomy, so it's just a follow-up." "As long as he's taking his meds and doing his exercises, everything should be fine." "And I think that is it." "No, that is not it." "I refuse to cover your patients until you tell me exactly where you are going and why." "I love when you get uppity with me." "It reminds me of our first cute meet." "How far is the flight?" "One hour?" "6 hours?" "18 hours?" "See you in two days." "Now is not the time." "Don't you see?" "Wherever it is you think you need to be, I guarantee it is not nearly as important as staying put." "And why is that?" "Oh, because not eight months ago, you were lying on that very couch, confiding in me your feelings for Nina." "I listened and provided what I believed to be very good counsel, happy to play Cyrano to your Christian." "And then I sat back and looked on as you and Dr. Boob job played out some comic mating ritual, fighting to prove who was the fittest of the species." "Okay." "So?" "So now you've won, you nincompoop!" "The woman has rejected Hartman, moved into your house." "She didn't move in." "And you pick now to go out of town?" "You know what, Harold?" "I have finally figured you out." "Oh, I can't wait to hear." "You, Harold Abbott, are a hopeless romantic." "At the end of the day, you just want the guy to get the girl." "Well, assuming that the girl is Nina, yes." "Since we're bearing our souls, I was never in favor of you and Linda." "I told her you were a bit of a dilettante." "Well, that's okay." "I used to leave home 10 minutes early just so I could take your parking spot." "Sneaky bastard." "See?" "I knew it." "I'm here." "That's my ride." "Well... thanks, Harold, for everything." "Where's your father off to?" "Nice try, Harold." "Hey, that looks like the library at AM." "Yeah, it is." "I got all the "U" dvds to help figure out where I should go, but right now all I want to do is go to sleep." "So, you're still deciding, huh?" "That's good." "Actually, I have a bunch of information for you." "I can't talk to you about this, Bright." "I wish I could because you are the only person who can help me." "But I made all these lists of pros and cons " "So, use me." "Abuse me." "That's what I'm here for." "I can't." "It'd be too weird." "You're on some of the lists." "No, no, your ex-boyfriend, El Jerko, is on the lists, and he should be." "He should definitely be factored into the equation." "But I'm solely here as your old friend Bright Abbott, who you never made out with or anything like that." "So, pros -- bring them on." "What do you got?" "Okay, um, Notre Dame -- great reputation, beautiful campus, amazing faculty, complete scholarship, my mom's totally excited about it," "plus the fact that it's far away from my ex-boyfriend." " Yeah, El Jerko." " El Jerko." "Right." "Well, it would just be a lot easier to get over him fully." "Okay, so, those are some okay pros." "Now what about AM?" "Okay, um..." " well, I really like the campus." " Beautiful campus." "And I get to dorm with Amy, which would be fun." "And..." " That's all?" " Stop it." "It's got a great sociology program." "It's not like I'd be getting a terrible education, but nothing like Notre Dame, seriously." "Really, the only reason I'm considering it is 'cause you guys are here." "Well, yeah, sure." "Which is a huge pro, you know?" "It should really count as two." "Absolutely, yeah." "Count it as three." "I'm just gonna put it down as three." "That's definitely worth three." "What does my friend Bright Abbott think I should do?" "I don't know." "Keep thinking, I guess." "Hello, Julia." "Yeah, I know." "You were never a big tulip fan, but I couldn't finda flower shop, so I tried three grocery stores, and this is the only flower that looked like it might make it through the night." "I'm assuming you already know that." "I'm also assuming you already know why I came, but" "I'm gonna go ahead and say it all anyway." "I've changed a lot, Julia." "I've learned that being a good friend and a good parent are the only things that make you sleep better at night." "I've learned that what bothers you about your kids is whatever you have in common with them, and what you love about them most is the stuff that you have absolutely nothing to do with." "I've learned that pain and suffering are unavoidable, but ultimately they are what bring you closer to other people." "And lately -- lately I've learned that it's possible to fall in love again." "I tried hard not to." "I really did." "It's so unfair to you, you know?" "It was you I wanted to be this guy for." "I'm just so sorry I couldn't when you were alive." "But I love her, Julia." "I love her, and I'm going to ask her to be my wife." "If she says "yes," I'll take that as your blessing." "And if I'm gonna be the kind of husband to Nina that you would want me to be, then I think that this should probably be our last goodbye." "Thank you, sweetheart." "Thank you for loving me." "Thank you for teaching me what love is in your life and even more so in your death." "And thank you for blessing me with two exquisite children, in whom your spirit will always live on." "Goodbye, Julia." "Look at this." "Maybe Mexico is a good idea." "Mother, why have you not called me back?" "I have left you three messages." "Listen up, Columbo, you had no business fact-checking my story, calling Linda behind my back, starting a ruckus." "Why don't you just ask for a urine sample next time, make it easier?" "Mother, for your information, I was not calling Linda to check up on you." "I wanted her help talking you out of your crazy idea." "I did not know your crazy idea would turn out to be a crazy lie." "Why, mother, would you make up something like that?" "Mind your own beeswax." "Mother." "See?" "That is exactly why I'm getting out of dodge." "You can't go for five minutes without checking up on me, even if you think I'm okay." "Imagine what it would be like if you knew how I felt." "I wouldn't get a minute's peace." "How do you really feel?" "My husband just died." "What do you think?" "Well, you've made quite a show of saying that you're through with your grief." "You said that you feel fine." "I wanted you to think that so you'd cancel the pity party." "The truth is -- forget it." "No, the truth is..." "The truth is I feel awful!" "I can't sleep." "I'm sad." "I'm angry." "And for the first time in my life, I can't picture a time when I might feel better." "I don't see the other side of this one." "Well, you will." "It may take some time." "You don't have to do that." "I know I'm acting crazier than an outhouse rat, but I can't stop." "I feel like half a person, like without Harper..." "I don't know what my life is anymore." "So let us help you, mother." "That's what we've been trying to do." "I know you want to, but you can't." "No one can." "I just need to be alone right now." "That's your plan, then?" "Get in the R.V. and drive around all by yourself for a month or so?" "I couldn't say for how long." "Frankly, without Harper, I don't see myself going much longer anyway." "Mother, well, now you are acting crazy." "You have plenty of time left." "You have a family who loves you, wants to take care of you." "I have never been taken care of by anyone, and I don't intend to start now." "I'm not gonna be a burden, not to you or Rose or anyone else." "Mother." "Please." "Don't try to talk me out of this." "It was a tough decision, but I've made up my mind." "I'm going." "Amy, you haven't moved for over two hours." "Are you sick, sweetheart?" "No, I'm stupid." "I had the thing, mom." "I had the thing that everybody wants, and I threw it away." "And now Ephram has become "stephram."" "You can't just go up to stephram and be like, "hi, I'm in love with you again,"" "especially since she's buying him jackets." "She's working it from the inside." "She has home-court advantage." "I thought I could just work the old-school angle, but now I'm realizing that I have no angle." "All I have is how I feel." "I can't describe how I feel because it's so " " Much." " Yes." "Exactly." " You love Ephram." " Mom, yes." "Keep up." "Why aren't your feelings enough, sweetheart?" "Considering the history you two have, I think they amount to more than a jacket." "And if you can express them to Ephram in a slightly less anxiety-provoking way than you just expressed them to me " "It won't be enough." "Saying the words doesn't even come close to how I feel about him." "And besides that, this is Ephram, grand-gesture Ephram." "He had his dad perform surgery on my boyfriend while he was in love with me." "He wrote my Princeton essay for me." " Our first time together " " I get it." "Say no more." "I need just to find a way to show him how much I love him, that I remember everything, and that I'm not gonna forget." "Then you will." "You will." "So, you come any closer to making a decision?" "About school, I mean." "Ugh, no." "It's getting ridiculous since my registration is due tomorrow." "I think you should go to Notre Dame, Hannah." "What?" "It's not because I don't love you." "I really do love you, but it's the right thing to do." "I don't understand." "I was ready to tell you to not go to Notre Dame." "I had a whole pitch all planned out." "Knowing my charm, it would have worked out." "But it was doing it for me." "I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing you every day." "Part of me was hoping that we would get back together or something." " Really?" " Yeah." "But I know I was being selfish." "If there's anything you taught me -- when you love someone, you got to put them first." "You've worked your ass off to go to Notre Dame, and you should go." " You deserve to go." " Yeah, but" "If the only reason you wouldn't go is 'cause you're afraid you're gonna lose us -- come on, Hannah, that's not gonna happen." "We're gonna always be here." "I'm always gonna be here for you." "I know I let you down before." "I promise that's never gonna ever happen again." "Bright." "So, it's gonna be me and you, just best friends for life." "Okay?" "For life." "I think I've got it, but I'm gonna need your help." "Okay." "Hello?" "We're up here, Edna, feeding Lily." "Come on up." "Hell of a going-away party." "I don't know why I even bothered to stop by." "What the " "Edna Harper, welcome to your new bedroom." "We were on a short time frame, so it's still a work in progress." "Our old bedroom set, which we pulled out of storage." "You have some wallpaper choices." "Rose picked out these lovely curtains." "They really let the light in, don't you think?" "I don't know what to say." "Well, just say you'll move in with us." "It's not just that we want you here, Edna." "We need you." "Amy will be moving out soon, and to tell the truth, I could use the help with Lily." "She needs a grandmother." "We lost too much time together when I was growing up, mother." "I don't want to lose any more time with you." "I don't want our children to lose you, either." "If I've learned anything with this past year, it's how precious life can be." "Well..." "I guess I could do worse." "So, did you see nonny and grandpa when you were in New York?" "No, no time." "You wouldn't believe the cross Bronx." "It took me three hours to get back from the cemetery." "What do you think?" "Do I look okay?" " Yeah." "I like it." " Okay." "What exactly did you do while you were out there?" "Well, I took some flowers, and then I just talked to her." "I know it sounds strange, but it's what I needed to do." "No." "No, it doesn't sound strange." "I mean, when we first moved here and you were talking to her in public, that was a little strange, but..." "So, you're really gonna do it, huh?" "No one could ever replace your mother, Ephram." "Oh, yeah, I know that." "I'm just so used to things not working out the way they're supposed to." "When something looks like it is going to, I get a little freaked out." "Don't jinx it." "She hasn't said "yes" yet." "But you know what I mean, right?" "Everybody's got that picture in their mind, the one of how they think their life is supposed to be." "Makes you wonder if I should hold out longer for my picture, you know?" "Amy and I." "Well, the thing about the picture is, how do you look in it?" "It's not about who you're standing next to or what's in the background." "It's "are you smiling?" "Are you happy?" "Are you good with the choices that you've made?"" "Because if you are, it doesn't matter where you're standing or who you're standing next to." "It's "that's a good picture."" "And you are way ahead of the game, Ephram." "Yeah, well, it doesn't always feel that way." "But you are." "I've watched you this year." "I have watched you take your pain and your chaos and turn them into something beautiful." "You've changed people's lives." "You have saved people's lives, mine included." "You've made peace with your past." "You opened yourself up to a woman you loved, and you bounced back with style when things didn't go your way." "You've been brave and honest." "And you got a haircut, which makes the picture look better." "I'm very proud of how you turned out, so no matter who you do end up with, she's gonna be lucky to have you." "There's something wrong with this." "Isn't it the guy who's about to propose that gets the advice?" "I feel like I've let you down." "Is there anything in my teeth?" " No." " Then you've done your duty." "You nervous?" "You bet your ass I am." "You better get going." "Right." "Right, good." "Okay." "Oh, and by the way," "I just want you to know that if this all works out, I'm expecting you to be my best man." "I didn't have a bachelor party the first time out, so there's a lot of pressure." "Uh, dad." "Right -- closet." "Door." "Do you think your dad would eat brussels sprouts?" "He will, but I won't." "Hey." "I was gonna make dinner." "What do you think -- chicken or fish?" "Come with me." "Where are we going?" "I want to ask you something." "Um, I'm not wearing any shoes." "Doesn't matter." "You're not gonna need them." "This is where we met." "You were pregnant with another woman's baby, and I was fighting with my son." "It wasn't a great beginning, but it's our beginning." "Excuse me." "Don't go anywhere." "Hey, guys, could you take five?" "I'm having an important conversation here." "Just five." "Thanks." "Anyway, you were working in the yard, in this exact spot, which I thought was very odd because there was a foot of snow on the ground." "I remember." "The next time I saw you, you invited me into your house." "We drank coffee, and we talked." "And I remember thinking when I left that it wasn't just a coincidence that I ended up buying that house." "It was fate." "Someone was trying to tell us something." "You know how I feel about you, Nina." "I'm in love with you." "I have been for a long time, and I can't think of anyone else on earth that I would rather spend the rest of my life with." "So..." "I know you've seen it already." "No, I haven't." "I never looked." "I promise." "Oh." "That makes this part more fun." "Nina Feeney... will you marry me?" "Yes, I will." "Hey, uh, Stephanie, it's me." "I'm running about five minutes behind." "I spent too long at my dad's house, and the 5-minute shower turned into a 30-minute shower." "I'll tell you all about it when I see you." "I got the tickets." "I'm on my way." "Okay, bye." "Don't say anything yet." "I want to go first." "Since I brought the ferris wheel, I figured you'd let me." "Okay, um... four years ago, you came to my little town, and you changed my life." "I never thought one person could do that to another, but you did." "From the moment that I met you and each moment after that, somehow everything that happened to me kept coming back to you." "I don't know if the ferris wheel reminds you of anything." "Are you kidding me?" "How could I forget our first thawfest?" "That's when you first told me your nickname was Grover." "I can't believe you remember that." "I remember everything about us, Amy." "Me, too." "See, that's the thing." "Every time I try to forget the feelings I have for you, they keep coming back, and now they're back." "I don't want to push them down anymore." "I don't want to run away from us, 'cause I never want to lose you again." "I just want to be with you, next to you, wherever you are." "I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, because I hate all of the time that we lost." "And I know it's my fault, and I just really hope that you can forgive me because I love you, Ephram." "I love you." "Is it my turn yet?" "Good." "'Cause I love you, too." "I knew it then." "I know it now." "I'll know it always." "You're it, Amy." "You're my one." "I am?" "You always have been." "Want to go for a ride?" "In a second."
