"CAMERON:" "Excuse me." "Do you know where I can find Dr. Jake Hartman's office?" "Um, it's a half a block down and across the street." "CAMERON:" "Thanks." "You can close your mouths, boys." "What?" "I'm not..." "What?" "BRIGHT:" "I'm totally going into medicine." "Might have to start by going to college first." "So that's what zero percent body fat looks like." "Interesting." "CAMERON:" "Hi." "Is Dr. Hartman in?" " He's at lunch." " Oh." "You wouldn't happen to know where." "You're not from here, are you?" "I'm starting to rethink this whole winter thing." "It's bad for the hair." "It's so dry out, it makes it all wispy." "I think I gotta find a new product." " Really?" " Mm-hm." "I think you shouldn't be using the word product in public." "Most women appreciate a guy who can admit to his grooming needs." "It shows a certain amount of confidence in his manhood." "Jakey!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God." "Cameron?" "[CAMERON LAUGHS]" " Surprised?" " Understatement." "What are you doing here?" "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain." "Did you do something with your hair?" "Actually, our trainer set us up." "NINA:" "Your trainer?" " Pete's really more of a friend." "Right." "Do you pay your friends 150 dollars an hour?" "Not that he's not worth it." "This man does wonders with every body part." " Think about it, it's cheaper than lipo." "JAKE:" "You know what, Cam?" "Nina's slammed with tables." "We should spare her the gory details." "Oh, please." "I'm not busy at all." "Besides, I love gore." "[CAMERON CHUCKLES]" "Anyhoo, Scott Anderson sends his love." "My partner at Cedars." "As does Nancy and my parents and Roy, our Coffee Bean guy, heh." " By the way, how is Roy?" " He misses you." "I swear, it's crazy." "Literally everyone misses him." "Not as much as I do, natch, but everyone is always asking:" ""How's Jake?" "When's Jake coming home?"" "...so I am gonna go close out, but it was so nice to meet you." " So Nina's pretty." " Cam..." "What?" "I didn't mean..." "I'm just saying..." "Heh, I don't know what I'm saying." "I flew over a thousand miles to see you and..." " Hi." " Hi." " So how long are you here for?" " Ten days." "I had all this vacation time saved up and my editor's having me write this travel piece." "I brought my laptop and your snowboard, which you left." "I thought we could hit the slopes." " Well..." " I found this amazing ski resort." "It's like the one that we used to go to at Mammoth." "Supposedly they've got yummy food, outdoor Jacuzzi." "Look, Cam, I would love to just hang out and ski but I've got patients I need to see, which is why if you had called first..." "Look we'll figure all this out." "But right now, I gotta get back to the office, okay?" "Now?" "But I just got here." "Who am I gonna play with?" "Oh, my God." "Nin, we could totally have a girls' afternoon." " I'm actually dying for a mani-pedi." " Well, don't die." "[LAUGHS]" "Ooh!" "BOTH [CHANTING]:" "We're number one" "And why are we number one" "DELIA:" "Because of the Rocket" "And who is the Rocket?" " Me." " You got it, baby." "You bet your skates." " And they didn't want a girl on the team." " Those fools." "Wait." "Where's your camcorder?" "We need to be recording this moment." "It's in the bag." "You know what?" "I got at least an hour of tape on here." "There has to be at least four or five seconds of you." "[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]" "AMANDA [ON RECORDING]:" "Hey, Andy, it's Amanda." "I'm just calling to make sure John's prescription will be ready." "One o'clock, right?" "If I don't hear from you, I'll just expect it then, okay?" "Bye." "Dad." "Camcorder." "I'm losing steam here." "Yeah, I'm just turning it on, honey." "Okay, Rocket Brown." " Tell us about the game." " Well the Flames came on strong in the first period but we totally schooled them in the second and third." "You trying to kill me slowly, Rose?" "I can smell that butter from here." "I found it." "My scarf?" "Oh, thank heavens." "It's pure cashmere, you know." "Oh, no, I definitely lost the scarf, but I did find the perfect ballet class." "Oh, I didn't know you were looking." "I've been searching on the Internet all week." "This is the class." "Jason, he's the teacher." "He's worked with every prima ballerina." "You know how much we enjoy watching you dance." "It's not a performance, it's just a class." "I still have to audition." "Of course you'll get in." "You're the best dancer." "I know, but this class is of a different caliber." "I have taken time off." "Last year, I didn't study all year and still managed to get my GPA back up to a 3.8." "I'll just have to do that." "Yep." "That's the Abbott work ethic." "I need a check for the deposit and, um, the class is in Denver so if I get in, I won't be home for dinners." " How many dinners?" " It's five nights a week." "Wait." "What?" "What kind of class is this?" "Dad, I just told you." "I'm gonna go wash up." "Five nights a week?" "Why don't you stay for lunch?" "I make a mean tuna melt." "I wish I could." " I got a patient at 2." " I'll cut off the crust." "[CHUCKLES]" " I know, I just wish we had more time." " Well the afternoon's not bad." "I could come by again, say, around 4-ish?" "Hmm, Charlie will be home from school by then." "This is where it gets tricky when you're having an affair." "You had to say it out loud, didn't you?" "Let's not kid ourselves." "We are having an affair." "Yeah, but with some seriously extenuating circumstances." "I mean, as far as affairs go, we're not exactly cookie cutter." " Maybe we should call it something else." " Oh, really?" "Like what?" "Like "tryst" or, uh, "marital indiscretion"?" "How about soup?" "You know, you're very odd, but I like you." "[CHUCKLES]" "What?" " I miss talking to you, is all." " Mm-hm." "At least when you were working with John, we could take a walk, go to the park." "Hang out." "Now, we're locked into this bizarre 55 minutes in my bedroom." "We could always take the 55 minutes out of the bedroom and just talk." "Yeah." "Yeah." "That plan sucks too." "Totally." "Well I've got nothing else." " Ah, I gotta go." "I'm sorry." " Oh, I know." "It's okay." "Well, maybe five more minutes." "This place is so renowned, you'd think they'd be able to afford to decorate." "Easy there, queer eye." "It's not a design center." "I think this is it." "Cool." "[AMY SIGHS]" "Class should be out any second." "Cool." "You didn't have to bring me here." "Now, do you see me complaining?" "This is your dream." "I'm here to support you." "Or at least chauffeur you." "My very own Stepford wife." "How sweet." "I'm being the new and improved supportive boyfriend you deserve." "[PIANO PLAYING UPBEAT CLASSICAL MUSIC]" "[WOMAN GRUNTS]" "You're way hotter than any of them." "You can stop now." "Just be a minute." "Take two." "JASON:" "And..." "Very nice." "Very nice." "Now, listen, I need you to lift." "Bring your shoulders around with you." "Work on that with this gentleman." "Sir?" "Hi." "Mr. Jason?" "Yes." "Can I help you?" "Yeah, um..." "They sent me up here to talk to you." " They?" " Well, the registration lady downstairs." "I've heard much about you and your class." "My name's Amy and I know you have a winter program and I was wondering when I could audition, sign up, how to start?" "Lot of questions." "I talk a lot when I'm excited." "How many classes are you taking?" "Well, I'm not actually taking right now, but I have for years." " Where?" " At County." " Is that your high school?" " Yes." "They have a very strong program for a high school." " How old are you?" " Seventeen." "Right." "Well, our winter session starts in two weeks." "It's a professional class." "Most of our dancers are already working in some capacity." "And they've had classical training for many years." "Yes, and I think that's great." "Which is why I'm gonna work hard to catch up." "Sweetheart you won't make it." " Excuse me?" " Your build, your turnout, it's all wrong." "You're 10 pounds too heavy and four years late." "When are the auditions?" "Next Thursday." "Great." "And, uh, thank you for the constructive criticism." "I appreciate it." "You're welcome." "Okay, let me see it, please." "And..." "I can't believe you thanked that jackass." "Anyway, don't stress." "I've had professors like that and their purpose is to break you down." " I'm not stressing." "And if he's so freaking knowledgeable, why is he teaching in Denver?" "Not that it's a bad school." " It's a great school, but..." " You're not helping, Ephram." "I know and I'm sorry." "Don't apologize, just get me home." "I need to start practicing like now." "What's up, Rocket?" "How does it feel to be the only member of the family with any athletic ability whatsoever?" "One time, I tried out for the basketball team..." " It's here." " What is?" "The alien invasion, the Britney Spears tour?" " It's here." " Dad!" "Are you okay, sweetie?" "We can talk if you want or you can talk to Nina if you're uncomfortable." "I'm fine, but I've got hockey practice, so let's just get this stuff and go." "Are you sure?" "I did prepare a talk." "This is the one thing I knew was coming, biologically speaking." " I didn't think it'd be coming so soon." " It's not that soon." " Brittany got hers two months ago." " Really?" "Wow." "Okay, so you wanna discuss this over a cup of coffee?" "Look, I've read Judy Blume." "I know the drill." "If you wanna do the talk, you could do it in the car, but I've gotta go." "Coach is working on slap shots today and I don't wanna be late." "Okay." "Let's see." "Wings sound fun." "Great." "Let's do wings." "Wait." "Always?" "No, no, honey, it only usually lasts three to seven days." "Oh." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" " I brought rock candy." " It's 9 in the morning." "Jake said you had the day off, you said we should hang out." "Didn't you?" " Yeah." " So now we can." "Where's your coffeemaker?" "You're gonna love this." "We were basically engaged." "NINA:" "You and Jake?" " Mm-hm, I didn't have a ring or anything but we literally talked about everything from where we were gonna send our kids to summer camp to having a chocolate fountain at our wedding." "Oh, it's amazing." "It's like this waterfall of fudge that you dip fruit and Rice Krispie treats and pretzels in." "Mm, melty, chocolatey-dipped everything." "I love weddings." "Yeah." "Except when you're the only single girl there over 30." "Having been on the other side of the fence the grass is not always greener." "Wait." "You were married?" " Ten years." "Got divorced last spring." " Oh, my God." "I am so sorry." "Oh, it's okay." "I think it was for the best." " Can I ask what happened?" " He was gay." " No." " Heh." "They have gay men in Everwood?" "I'm sorry." "That came out completely wrong." "I just..." "You wouldn't think that they'd be out here in, like, macho outdoors-y land." "Yeah, well, apparently, they're everywhere." "So..." "So, uh, what happened with you and Jake?" "How did he wind up here without you?" "Oh, that's just it, I don't really know." "I mean, there was the whole thing with his practice." " Well, you know about that, right?" " No." "Oopsy." "Heh." "I probably shouldn't say anything." "I mean, if he hasn't." "No, no, of course not." "Well, anyway, that happened and he said he needed to get out of L.A. For a bit." "Wait, so you guys never broke up?" "We never even had a fight." "That's why I had to come here." "Once we're together, he'll remember what we have, heh and I'll be able to convince him to come home." "You know, Cameron, I don't know Jake as well as you do but I do know that he really seems to like it here." "Maybe your strategy shouldn't be so much about dragging him back to L.A. As..." " You think I should move here instead." " Uh, no, no." "I didn't say that." "What?" "No, it's not impossible." "I mean, I could easily do most of my work from here." "Sure." "You should work out the big stuff first regardless of the geography." "But geography wouldn't be an issue if I lived here." "Ah!" "Nin!" "I so needed girl time." "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "[UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "Amy?" " Amy?" " Oh, my God, Dad, you scared me." "Sorry." "Honey, it's freezing in here." "Oh, I'm actually quite warm." " Well, dinner is ready, so..." " I'm not eating." " What?" " Oh, it's fine." "It's no deal." "A lot of athletes do it." "I'm getting fluids." "No, you're fasting?" "Yeah, just for the week." "That's ridiculous." "You need fuel for this kind of physical exertion." "[MUSIC STOPS]" "My, God, you're bleeding." "Honey, let me see your feet." "Happens when you haven't been on point." "It's fine." "No." "No, it is not fine." "You are bleeding." "You're starving, it is freezing." "What are you doing to yourself?" "This is what dancers do." "Get used to it." "I refuse to watch my daughter abuse herself." "Well, then don't watch." "You didn't see these girls." "They were thin." "They all do this eight hours a day." "This is what I have to do to compete if I wanna get in." "Oh, this isn't competing this is you trying to squeeze two years worth of missed classes into a week of rehearsal in our subzero garage." "That's like trying to train for a marathon a week before the run." "When I was an intern you know what we used to call the patients who did that?" " Morons." " Gee, Dad, thanks for the support." "Forgive me, but what exactly am I supposed to be supporting here?" "Um, how about my dream?" " So suddenly this is your dream?" " Not suddenly." "I've wanted to be a ballerina since I was a little girl." "You also wanted to be a princess and an astronaut and, I believe, a carrot at one point." "You know what?" "Ephram practices piano almost 10 hours a day, every day." "He's completely focused to the exclusion of pretty much everything else all year." "You know what?" "His dad found a way to support him." " Even built him a studio." " And what is your point?" "Why is it guys are allowed to get OCD about their ambitions and not girls?" " My passion for dance is exactly the same." " No, it isn't." "This is you making a decision about your future at the eleventh hour simply because you are scared." "What you're exhibiting here is panic, not passion." "You told me I could do whatever I wanted if I just worked hard enough." "I want this." "Why?" "Because somebody told you you can't have it?" "[SCOFFS]" "Shut the door on your way out." "You're letting in the cold." "[MUSIC RESUMES]" "[CAMERON CHUCKLES]" "Mwah!" " Your friend is the best, heh." " Yeah?" " What did you guys do today?" " We had rock candy." "Oh, what's the plan for tonight?" "I need to know the dress code." "For dinner in Everwood, anything nicer than jeans would be considered formal." "I love this place." "Ha, ha." "So how was it, really?" "Great." "Fine." "She's moving here." "Bye." "Wait." "What?" "Yeah, well, you're basically engaged to her or did you forget about the fountain?" "What did you two talk about?" "I think the question here is, what do you two talk about?" "Because she still thinks you're together." "Which is weird, because as far as I knew, you were single." " I am single." " Not according to her." "Must be doing something to make her think she's your girlfriend." " I'm not good at breaking up with people." " Well, no one is, but you do it." "How'd you break up with your last girlfriend?" "I didn't." "I just sort of phased her out." " Uh, have you ever broken up with anyone?" " I've had breakups." "Nobody likes to be rejected." "I certainly don't." "Well, I told you I wasn't interested and you seemed fine." "Seemed being the operative word." "Look, Cameron is a mature adult." "Tell her the truth, she'll be able to handle it." " I know that you wanna be the nice guy." " I am a nice guy." "You think so but guess what, leading someone on, that's not so nice." "Unless you have feelings for her." "I thought I did back in L.A., but now, no, I don't." "Then you have to tell her, tonight." "Tell her so she can start over and move on." "That's how you can be a nice guy." "[SIGHS]" "You're right." "You're so right." "Could you tell her for me?" "[JAKE GROANS]" " It was worth a shot." " Hmm." "[SIGHS]" " Am I allowed to say break a leg?" " That's probably not a good idea." "Listen to me." "You're as talented, if not more, than any of those girls and you're gonna be great today." " Thank you." " Lf I get in my car right now I could make it." "That's okay." "I'll call you after." "AMY:" "Thank you." " Um, hi." "Is this where I sign in?" "WOMAN:" "Oh, here you are." "And here's an application." "Make sure to list every class you've taken, including teachers and contact information." "Cool, thanks." "Okay." "Everyone, we're gonna start on time so we're not here until 4 in the morning." "Now, I'm gonna keep it simple and go down the list alphabetically." ""Amy Abbott."" "Um..." "I just got here." "I haven't really had a chance to warm up or anything yet." "Moving on." "That's okay." "I'm ready." "ANDY [CHANTING]:" "When I say Rocket, you say go" "Rocket, Rocket" "Honey, you're supposed to say go." "What's the matter, kiddo?" "I'm not feeling so good." " Oh, what is it?" "Is it cramps?" " No." " Well, just tell me what hurts." " I just have a stomachache and a backache." " Oh, and also a little bit of a headache." " So basically, everything aches." "If you're not well, you don't have to play." "Yes, I do." "It's the semifinals." "My team needs me." "All right, look, because these are special circumstances you should take something." "But only today." "This is not gonna be an every-month deal." "What do you mean?" "Like, period medicine?" "Just some ibuprofen." "It'll make you feel less achy." "Okay, cool." "Can I take 10?" "[CHUCKLES]" "Do you want one?" "No, I'm good." "So, um, if I get into this class, I think I'm gonna have to go off the pill." "Uh, do cookies normally make you think of birth control?" "Heh, no, it's just the whole bloating thing." "I would probably drop 5 pounds if I went off it." "Okay, uh, you realize you're a stick, right?" "But that's fine, you know." "Never mind." "Great." "[PHONE RINGS]" "BRIGHT:" "Hello." "Gordo, dude, what's up?" "Okay, heh." "Gordo." " Have they, uh...?" " Nope." "Ah, I'm sure you got in." "Are you, really?" " No, but I was just doing the support..." " That's not supportive, that's patronizing." "How would you like it if I was like, "I'm sure you got into Juilliard?"" "Well, considering I haven't gotten an audition yet..." "Never mind." "Okay, come on, Amy." "You gotta lighten up." "I was kidding." "I can't lighten up." "You just don't get it." "Okay, so explain it to me." "Okay." "So imagine tomorrow, you woke up with carpal tunnel syndrome and couldn't play piano anymore." "What would you do?" "You would freak out." "Okay, that is exactly what is happening to me." "I took two years off ballet, all of a sudden, I'm old, fat, my turnout's wrong." "I'm never gonna be a dancer." "Okay." "Okay?" "That's all you got?" "Okay, so you're not gonna be a dancer." "So, what am I gonna be?" "I don't know." "I'm sure you'll figure it out." "You don't know that, Ephram." "You have no idea what this is like." "Okay?" "You were born this genius prodigy child who took a year off piano and still managed to get into Juilliard." "Didn't put undeclared on your applications." "It's not like that for most people." "It's harder." "Yeah, you're right." "For most people, it probably is, but not for you." "If I couldn't play piano anymore, it would be a big problem because I suck at everything else." "But not you, you're great at everything you do." " You could be president if you wanted." " Oh, please." "No, I'm serious." "If somebody talked to me the way Jason talked to you I'd be rolling on the floor in a fetal position." "But not you." "You took what he said, thanked him and you worked harder because of it." "You're the most driven person I've seen." "It's who you are." "It's what defines you." "I just wish I never stopped dancing, you know?" "I really wish that." "Nin." "Hey." " What are you two doing here?" " Catching the early-bird special." "You know, going at it local style." "Hey, Cam, go grab a booth." "I'll be a sec." " Okay." " Okay." "Hi." "Break up ever?" "I tried to do it last night." "I swear, but she was so excited about bonding with you and moving here, but I'm gonna do it tonight." " Where are you gonna break up, here?" " Yeah." "Neutral territory." "Not like every time she sees a Mama Joy's, she'll think about this." " There are no Mama Joy's in L.A." " Bingo." "That's me working my genius." "[JAKE SIGHS]" "Okay, I just need a quick pep talk." "Just a couple talking points to get me going and then I'm golden." "Please?" "Okay." "Be direct and to the point." "The distance has made you realize that you're not right for each other." "It's not fair to either of you to stay and she deserves someone that can give her the moon..." "Really?" "I should say moon?" "Just go." "Go." "ANDY:" "Go, Rocket!" "Go!" "[CROWD CHEERING]" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "That's my kid, she plays center." "Kill him!" "Break his face!" "Come on, Brown, you gotta be on that." "No, don't stop it!" "[WHISTLE BLOWS]" "Let's go, Brown." "You're moving like molasses out there." "Hey, coach, maybe you should give her a rest for a few minutes." "You wanna coach this game?" "Come on, Rocket, let's see some steam." "She's really not feeling too well." " Coach, I'll go in for her." " Relax, Dougie." "Delia's fine." "No, she's not fine." "[WHISPERS] She's got her period." "She got her period?" "No way!" "Brown, off the ice." "Why are you pulling me out?" "I was just getting my game on." "Dad, what are you doing down here?" "Wilson, get in there." "Putting him in instead of me?" "Yeah, you should sit for the rest of the period." "Get it?" "Period." "[BOYS LAUGHING]" "Hey, Nin, another refill, please, when you can?" "CAMERON:" "So Jake and I were talking about checking out real-estate listings." "You wanna come with?" "Um..." "No, I don't." "I don't think that you're gonna be moving here because, um, he doesn't want you to." "[CAMERON CHUCKLES]" " What?" " I'm sorry." "Jake?" "This is, um..." " Whoo, I think I'm dizzy." " You're still sitting down." " I can be dizzy from a seated position." " Oh." "Okay." "I'm really sorry." "I shouldn't have done it this way." "I had meant to talk to you last night but, well, after I talked to Nina about it..." "You knew he was gonna do this?" "No, I didn't, not until later." "I mean, today, I knew..." "This isn't her fault, this is my fault." "I handled this badly." "Oh, my God." " You guys are sleeping together." " What?" "No." "No, we're not." "But you wanna be." "It's so obvious now." "You like him and he likes you and that's why..." "No, no, that is not why, honestly." "I have no interest for millions of reasons, but not the least is what he's done to you." "I mean, look at you, you're this beautiful, amazing woman with an actual career and he has reduced you to a 16-year-old." "All his emotional withholding and his false intimacy." "Hey!" "CAMERON:" "No, you know, you're right." "JAKE:" "What?" "I can't believe that I was gonna pick up my entire life and move here to this hole to be with you." "You are such a selfish coward." "And you I hope you fall in love with another gay man." "I guess now we know the real reason you never went out with me." "Jake..." "Can I get you anything?" "I'm fine." "Wow." "First words I've heard in over two hours." "We talking again?" "I know it wasn't the greatest day, but Monday, you'll be back on the ice..." "No, I won't." "I'm quitting the team." "What?" "You can't give up now." "You're the best player." "Not anymore." "Now they're gonna make fun of me for being a girl." "I think it was always obvious you were a girl, sweetheart." "Well, you made it super obvious." "All right, well, you're right." "And I'm sorry about that." "I shouldn't have left all the parenting to Judy Blume." " I know you're feeling bad..." " I'm fine." "No, you're not fine." " Your body's going through changes..." " I don't wanna talk about it." "Why?" "Can you at least tell me why?" "Because it's weird and embarrassing." "And you don't know what it's like." "Of course I do, I'm a doctor." "I know this stuff." "It's not the same." "Please stop talking now." "You're making it all worse." "All right, fair enough." "Who do you think we should call?" "How about Nina?" "I don't wanna talk to Nina." "No?" "She knows all about this stuff." "You wanna talk to Edna?" "She's a nurse, and nothing embarrasses her." "I just wanna be alone." "Look, I know you don't wanna talk about this stuff but you have to talk to someone." " I want Mom, okay?" "Mom never would have done what you did." "She never would have told." "I just..." "I wanna talk to Mom." "So, what did we get?" "Three, four inches?" "Yeah, sounds about right." "Jake, I'm sorry about what I said." "I was on a roll and it got out of hand." "I don't think all that about you." "Emotional withholding, false intimacy." "So you've memorized it?" "I meant you're the guy who can't break up with somebody but that's because you're the kind of guy who doesn't wanna hurt anyone." "Yeah, well, that has its downside too." "Truth is right now, I figure I'm lucky you're even talking to me." "Why wouldn't I?" "Well, she told you about the chocolate fountain." "I figured she kept going." "Well, she did mention something about your practice, but I didn't ask." "You ever hear of a guy named Mac MacCeneh?" "That producer guy?" "Keeps blowing up Chinatown in all his movies?" "Right." "He was a patient of mine, sort of." "A friend of a friend introduced us and he invited me to this party at his house." "And it was, heh, unreal." "Everything you imagine Hollywood to be but you don't think actually exists well, it was all there." "Anyway a couple of drinks later, Mac takes me aside tells me that he's heading out of town for this film shoot in Madagascar but he needs to refill a few prescriptions before he goes." "He doesn't have time before his flight." "Could I fax in a couple of his meds for him, nothing crazy." "Propecia, some anti-anxiety stuff..." " I thought you were a plastic surgeon." " Well, a doctor's a doctor." "I can prescribe anything and I'm standing in the guy's living room and I don't want him to think I'm a jerk." "I faxed it in." "NINA:" "Hmm." "Because you're a nice guy." " Right?" " Mm-hm." "Well, there were a lot more parties after that." "And I actually met Cameron at one of them." "And I was bringing in more clients than any of the senior partners were." "So no one seemed to care much if I let a few of the bigger names skip a visit if they needed a scrip called in." "Not as long as they kept dropping the practice's name in magazines." "[CHUCKLES]" "I got a call one night, last June, from an ER doc over at UCLA." "This patient of mine, an actor, who was just a kid, really." "[SIGHS]" "By the time they called me, he had already OD'd." "The bottle of pills that he used had my name on it." "Oh, my God." "No charges were pressed or anything but I didn't feel like I could just go back to work the next day or the day after that." "And after two weeks, I knew I had to get out of there, so I did." "And the thing is I thought I was looking for a place to get away and it turns out I found the place where I could do better." "And I've never really thought about life in the big sense destiny or anything like that, but I think that that's why I'm here." "To try and be better." "I think you are better." "Maybe, but not because of anything that I've done." "It's because of you." "[CHUCKLES]" " Jake..." " I mean it." "I don't know why, but ever since we met, I've thought to myself:" ""I wanna be the kind of guy that deserves her."" "And I don't think I am." "I doubt I'll ever be." "But at least now I know what I'm aiming for." "You don't have to aim." "You're a good man, Jake." "You're the guy who leave his big date in the middle to go stitch up a kid's chin." "Guy who takes a girl's shovel without even asking." "When she needs help, you just..." "Just does it." "Watch it now." "You keep going on like that and I might start to get the impression that, you know..." "Wow." "Yeah?" "I mean, damn, you can kiss." "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "Thanks." "I'm gonna do it again now." "MAN [ON TV]:" "Each one goes the entire round  each correct prediction's worth $300." "Yeah." "I was watching that." "You get home earlier every day so why don't you watch what you wanna then?" "[PHONE RINGING]" "Well, you have a job now so why don't you get an apartment and watch what you want there?" "Amy?" "It's for you." "Hello?" "Mm-hm." "Right." "Okay." "Thank you." "I didn't get in." "It's fine, though, really, um, I'm not surprised." "Think I should talk to her?" "I'm all about failure." "Oh, just let her be for a while." "[SIGHS]" "Don't take this the wrong way but this feels like married people's foreplay." "Not feeling very soupy?" "I know, it's my fault." "I'm sorry." "Well, what's going on?" "Well, it's long and involved and can't be explained in under 55 minutes, so..." "[ANDY SIGHS]" "So talk to me." "What happened?" " You sure?" " Yeah." "Okay." "Well Delia's Aunt Flo paid her first visit." " Heh." " What's so funny?" "This is not funny." " Please tell me you didn't say Aunt Flo." "Well, I didn't get the chance to, she didn't wanna talk." "Well, thank the Lord and pass the turkey." "You got saved, my friend." "You think it's good my daughter won't talk about the important thing in her life?" "Well, not good for you, maybe but, sweetheart, it's okay." "I don't know." "I don't know." "I wanted so much to be there for her, you know?" "I wanted to make up for the fact that she doesn't have two parents." "First time Charlie asked me to buy a cup for him, I nearly passed out." "And that was after I bought him an actual Dixie cup." " You did not." " I didn't know what it was." "Heh." "Then trying to figure out whether it goes on the inside or outside of the underwear." "Well, she really could have used Julie on this one." "Probably." "But that's not your fault." "You can't change that fact." "No." "But she deserves someone to talk to about this stuff." "I wish I could somehow find that person for her but I can't." "If you want, I could talk to her about it." "I know, too weird, huh?" "Oh, I appreciate the offer." "I squandered a lot of minutes, so you wanna...?" "Oh, please, we have plenty of time." "You'll never guess what happened to me." " Oh, no?" "Does it involve Dixie cups?" " I was confused." " Really?" " Yeah." "Mm-hm." "You were confused." "You know they do go on the outside." " Yeah, I got that." " Really?" "EPHRAM:" "My dad is not gonna be home till late, which means takeout always an extremely positive turn of events in the Brown household." "What do you feel like, Chinese or Thai?" " How long until we talk about this?" " You don't like Thai?" "Okay, uh, you didn't get into your class." "You're pissed." "It sucks." "If you wanna talk about it, I'm here, but I'll wait till you bring it up." "If you don't wanna bring it up, that's fine too." "Yeah, I don't wanna bring it up yet." "See?" "Cool." "See how I'm being right now?" "This is how I want you to be when I don't get into Juilliard so take notes now." " Heh." " I'm not worried about you, Ephram." " Yeah, but you can't know that." "So Chinese or Thai?" " Thai." " All right." "Oh, it's you." "It is." "My life is over." "Yeah?" "Mine too." "It sucks being a girl." "Especially when everyone knows it." "Tell me about it." "Think I can control the size of my hips?" "I can't." "And you know what?" "I like my hips." "I think they're fine." "I think they're fine too." "Boys have such an easy life." "They don't have to worry about anything." "It's annoying, isn't it?" "Although they do have their share of lame stuff to deal with." "Like what?" "Well, like when they're around your age, their voices start to crack which is hilarious." "You're not supposed to laugh, but you do because it sounds ridiculous." "I can't wait for Dougie Wilson's voice to crack." "I'm gonna laugh my butt off." "[CHUCKLES]" "And then when they get around my age, they get all these awful pimples." " Girls get pimples." " Yeah, but we hide them with makeup." "The worst is when they get to our dads' age." "That's when it really gets horrifying." "They start to lose their hair and it starts growing in weird places like on their backs and in their ears." " No." " Yep, it's bad." "At least they have control over their bodies." "Stuff doesn't just happen to them without them letting it happen." "Well, um, let me put it this way." "In a couple years, when a boy gets called up to do a math problem and he brings his textbook with him, you just remember this conversation, okay?" "I guess giving up hockey isn't the worst thing in the world." "You're not gonna quit just because of what some dumb boy said, are you?" "Not just about them." "Just something about it isn't the same anymore." "I don't know, I have to think about it." "Well, just make sure that if you do decide to leave it behind it's because you want to, otherwise you might end up regretting it." "If you do decide to move on, that's cool too because sometimes to move on to the next great thing you have to leave the first great thing behind." "Kind of like saving room for dessert." "Yeah." "Kind of like that." "What do you know about gymnastics?" "[ENGLISH SDH]"
