"Jamie!" " You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend." " I don't want to just be your friend." " You don't know what you want." " Neither do you." "You maybe just too scared that someone might actually wanna be with you" " Why would that scare me?" " Because you couldn't hide behind your books... or your faith."

" Yeah... crucifix-wearing honk-if-you-love-Jesus people." " She's not like that." " Well... you got Belinda thinking that little lip action between you and Jamie was kind of real." "man?" "It's like you don't have time for your real friends anymore." "buddy." "I'm just over it." "I'm sick and tired of doing the same shit all the time." "man." "Belinda say that too?" " No." "I did." "You." "Me." "What is it?" "I got you something." "Thank you." "I'll see you at school." "Okay." "Reverend." "Jamie." "Boys like that they have..." "They have expectations." "the rules around here aren't going to change." "Fine." "You might not care what I say or think but you should care about God's opinion." "I think he wants me to be happy." "it's just a sweater." "okay?" "I talked to your dad today." "Said he saw you at the play for about 10 seconds." "Sending a check once a month doesn't exactly make him a father." "mom." "You need to forgive him too." "look at Jamie Sullivan." "She was looking all right in that play." "She did not look hot." "she looked hot." "I have the best idea." "move it?" "Maybe move it around a little something here." "Take one." "Let me stop it for a second." "Check it out." "look at this." "Here." "Take one." "Look." " Jamie." "Hi." " Hi." "no hard feelings." "Landon and I are way over."

"Landon!" "You sure?" "Let's get out of here." "Hey!" "You're a little chickenshit!" "I'm sorry." "Okay?" "all right?" "You want me to take you home?" "Let's get out of here." " Are you sure you're okay?" " I'm fine." " Thank you for everything." " You're welcome." "Hey." " I wanna ask you something." " Okay." "Will you go out with me on Saturday night?" "I'm sorry." "I can't go." " You have something else going on?" " No." " It's not that." " Then what is it?" "I'm not allowed to date." "Do not be deceived." "God is not mocked." "that he will also reap." "will of the flesh reap- sir." "I'd like to ask your daughter to dinner on Saturday night." "That's not possible." "I ask you to reconsider." "I made my decision." "You can exit the way you entered." "I'm sorry I haven't treated Jamie the way I should have." "She deserves more than that." "I'm just asking you for the same thing you teach us every day in church." "And that's faith." "I can't believe you asked my father for permission." "anyway." " Thank you." " This is for you." " Thank you very much." " Would you like something to drink?" "please." " Make that two."

"I told you I was bad at this." "right?" " That's right." "what's number one on your list?" "Okay." "Number one on my list is getting out of Beaufort." "I don't think getting out is gonna be your problem." "It's more like figuring out what to do when you get somewhere." "What do you mean?" "you can do anything." "you'll see." "come on." "Let's go!" " What are we doing?" " Run!" "okay." "Stand there." " All right." "and one foot here." " Okay." "You're acting like a crazy person." "What's going on?" "you're straddling the state line." "Okay." "You're in two places at once." "rosebud or star?" "You choose." " Butterfly." " Okay." "Where do you want it?" "Right here." "Okay." "How can you see places like this... and not believe?" "You're lucky to be so sure." "It's like the wind." "but I feel it." "What do you feel?" "I feel wonder and beauty... love." "it's the center of everything." "I might kiss you." "I might be bad at it." "That's not possible." "Jamie..." "I love you." "Now would be the time to say something." "I told you not to fall in love with me." "Jamie." "Say good night to Mr. Carter." "go home." "The night's over." " Good night." " Good night." "sir." "your behavior's sinful." " You act with that boy like you're" " In love?" "look at me..." " ..." "I'm not a child."

"what do you want to see?" "Pluto." "Pluto only rises a few minutes before the sun." "Right and I have brought us a thermos of hot coffee and a blanket." "I hoped for it." "Are you trying to seduce me?" "Why?" "Are you seducible?" "That's what I thought... a second blanket." "and one for you." " Thank you." " Can you find this star right here?" " Sure." "So why am I looking for this star?" "Because I had it named for you." "See?" "It's official." "It's from the International Star Registry." "This is wonderful!" "I love you." "okay." "I'm sorry." "I'm stopping." "what's your number one?" "To marry in the church where my mother grew up." "That's where my parents were married." "Hey!" " Did you just get in?" " Yeah." "Thank heavens I didn't know." "I'd have been panicked." "Sorry." "were you with Jamie?" "be careful." "She's the reverend's daughter." " Mom" " Please!" "okay." " It's different with her." " Yes." "It better be different with her." "and I found this." "Examine a moon rock." "Go to college." "Get into medical school." "these are really beautiful ambitions." " But you'll have to work really hard." " I can do that." "you can." "Mama Jamie has faith in me." "You know?" "She makes me want to be different." "Better." "I don't remember anything."

"I've stopped responding to treatments." "So why didn't you tell me?" "as best as I could." "I didn't want anybody to be weird around me." " Including me?" " Especially you!" "and then you happened!" "I do not need a reason to be angry with God." "open the door!" "Landon?" " I need your help." " What's wrong?" "You okay?" "Jamie." "She's... okay." "And I need you to come and see her right now."
