"Not so much break as put on her stilto heels and impale it repeatedly." "Rememberow eddie used to drive 40 miles to goombah's to pick up strombolis for rory?" "Their business was never better than when those two were in love." "Then rory dumped him." "She would not partake in the stromboli, and eddie swore off goombah's altogether."

"At least there was one happy ending in the book." "yeah." "oh." "I should go." "What?" "Yeah." "Wait." "What... what about the box?" "I don't think the box is going anywhere anytime soon." "It's good to see you again,rory." "See you, nick." "Yeah." "so, um..." "where's jake?" "He's back in connecticut, moving into his boyfriend's apartment." "Boyfriend?"

"why don't we go for a walk?" "What about my mom?" "I think I have an idea on how we can help her." "Hey, this is ray." "Leave your number after the tone." "you should talk to a lawyer." "Look, I know you probably hear this all the time, but this is nothing." "It's just a big misunderstanding." "An assault charge isn't nothing." "You could spend up to a year in jail." "I'm fine." "What does that even mean?" "well, the doctor said I have to do chemo, but I probably won't lose much hair, if any at all, which is a-a good thing, considering' I just bought a new hair dryer." "I don't think you've grasped the severity of your diagnosis." "You have cancer, robert, and it's fantastic that they caught it early and that your doctor thinks it's highly treatable." "Those are--those are blessings, but you have a disease." "It's-- it's not like you have the flu." "I know you went through this before with your first husband." "He had cancer." "I have cancer, but my situation is-- is a different beast altogether." "The doc... said I... could live with this a long time." "did you tell the boys?" "Mnh-mnh." "And I'd appreciate it if you didn't either." "Of course." "They should hear it from you." "And they will... when I have something to tell them, but right now I'm fine." "I'm fine." "is goombah's still open?" "I-I think so, though I haven't been there in while." "Well, that's a shocker." "We used to live off of their strombolis." "guess my palate changed over the years." "Plus physical phil started dating the pizza delivery girl, so I guess I got used to the flat triangular stuff." "So wt about you?" "Are you seeing anyone?" "I feel kinda weird talking about my love life with you." "I just got back to theidge, and even i know about the legendary eddie latekka and the parade of beauties that came after me." "Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call it a parade." "More like A... a circus." "Yeah." "Lots of juggling, tightrope walking, acrobatics?" "Uh... more like a lot of little clowns crammed into a teeny, tiny car." "I should go." "Tell nick that I said good-bye." "What's in here anyway?" "Oh, it's just a bunch of broken windows that got returned to us by mistake." "Well, in my experience, if something gets sent back to you, there's usually a reason why." "hey." "Has the edge called you?" "Who?" "The edge, number 24 on "rolling stone's"" ""100 greatest guitarists of all time" list." "Rumor is he's a monster "turtle" fan." "Huge!" "Hey." "Hannah's in jail." "She needs your help to post bond." "I, uh, I need to call you ba." "Don't bother." "You used that line on me three hours ago." "Like the fortune cookie says," ""fool me once, shame on you." ""Fool me twice,shame on you again for thinking you could fool me twic"" "what up, doctor?" "What are you ing here?" "I'm a full-service agent." "Stratton lorb, and you are?" "Sttton, no." "This is a bad time, okay?" "My--my friend just got arrested." "Well, how--how much is the bond?" "It's $1,000." "I gotta go to the bank." "Okay." "Thank you." "Mm-hmm." "Like I said," "I'm full service." "Do you need a ride to the police station?" "In your limo?" "That's the plan, little man." "Cool." "let's go." "Come on, baby." "so?" "How did rory look?" "Is she still hot?" "Yeah, she looked fine." "The word on the street is she's a wreck ever since her husbandcame out of the closet and torpedoed their marriage." "Yeah, I actually feel kinda bad for her." "Why?" "She stomped on your heart and left you for dead when she dumped you fojake." "we were high school sweethearts." "She went off to college." "She met jake." "It wasn't the crime of the century, owen." "Well, she got hers." "She hitched her wagon to a gay horse." "eddie, you still have feelings for rory?" "what we had was so long ago." "I-I know I'm not that same guy anymore, but... seeing her, for a second there, felt like I was back in high school again." "Nothing good can come of tking like this." "Let's not forg-- rory left you." "You don't need to remind me." "That's not something you easily forget." "You--you of all people should know that, owen." "And just because you're so hell-bent on making alison and ikey suffer for what they did, doesn't mean that I can't find a way to foive rory." "clearly, she's still hot." "Clearly." "Yes." "yeah." "Nick, what are you doing here?" "Um,I went to go get him." "When we couldn't find ray," "I thought nick could help." "Thank you." "No problem." "I'm glad you're out of the pokey, but, um, I gotta get to work." "It was nice meeting you." "Don't forget to stop by knights ridge's finest pizza parlor before you leave." "I won't, and, hey," "I'm all about the slice." "Hey, what happened?" "Christine cataldo happened." "She filed assault charges against me for the little altercation at the yard sale." "Assault?" "Sorry." "We still need you to sign some papers." "no, it's okay." "I'll take care of sam." "Thanks." "What?" "Now I get why you're still in knights ridge." "It's not like that." "Hannah's engaged." "To ray." "Ray's ur dad, little man?" "No, gavin's my dad." "bartender,get me a scorecard." "So where's this, uh, ray character?" "I don't know." "Feature yo-bailing out another guy's fiancée." "Mm."

"Hi, rooster." "Nice to meet you." "Actually, we were in 11th grade social studies together." "Mrs. Longacre." "Sixth period." "You did a-a paper on amerigo vespucci, pretender to christopher columbus' crown." "It was very good." "Mine was on ponce de león, fountain of youth and all that." "My real name is vincent."

"Yeah, at best friend windows, that place that he opened up with nick garrett." "Right." "How was that?" "It was awkward at first, but then there were moments where it was like I never even left." "But he seemed..." "I don't know." "He seemed sad." "Sad?" "He seemed sad?" "Yeah, a little bit." "Is--is he okay the days?" "I think so." "well, it was nice to see you." "You look beautiful, by the way." "Oh, thank you." "Hey, rory." "How long are you in town for?" "Oh, I don't know." "Everything's up in the air." "Everything's different now,you know?"

"He bailed you out." "N't tell me." "The elusive butterfly known as ray." "Who are you?" "Stratton lorb, swift like a locust." "you know, I don't get it." "Hmm?" "Why can't you just disappear,man?" "Well, I would, but who wld bail your fiancée out of jail?" "Ray, one of us got arrested." "Let's not make it two." "Here." "Thanks." "See ya." "Well, damn, doctor."

"And now it comes with must have been a busy day." "You never called me back." "Oh, I'm sorry, janet." "We had a-a unexpected visitor at the office." "Oh, really?" "Who?"

"Oh, aubrey,this is my agent, stratton lorb." "Stratton, this is aubrey." "Hi." "She's got some mad skills when it comes to turning a phrase." "Oh, um... you should take a look at her novel." "Be a pleasure." "Are you serious?" "Of course." "I love books." "You know, we should all hang out tonight." "Sure." "You know, maybe get a drink at sully'S." "Yeah." "Yeah, aubrey can give you her manuscript, and I can convince you to take your long car back to manhattan." "Okay?" "Sounds planny." "All right, sully's at 8:00." "Really great to meet you." "As well." "See you later, teach." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Wow." "Between hannah anna, pizza longstockings and aubrey hepburn," "I just got one very importantquestion to ask you, doc." "Yeah, what's that, stratton?" "You know of any apartments I could rent around here?" "After being married to a gay guy," "I bet you she's ready to deal with a real man, yeah?" "yeah." "I mean, screw eddie latekka." "I'd be happy to take his old high school sports car out for a little spin." "It's the least I could dright?" "Sure." "You know what, though?" "I think it's time for a little payback." "What do you think, boys?" "How about we have a little talk with latekka tonig, huh?" "Let's do it." "Let's do it.All right." "rory's super nice, but she and eddie were the golden couple back in high school." "Not to toot my own horn, but I thought that nick and i were the golden couple." "You and nick were the couple everyone wanted to be friends with." "Rory and eddie were the couple everyone wanted to be." "Okay, but that's all in the past, janet." "Rory and eddie had a connection back then who's to say those emotions won't come racing back?" "I can't compete with that kind of history." "You can get past the past." "Look at me and ray." "We're getting married." "People move on, janet." "They happily move on." "I know." "I just... don't know if eddie's one of those people." "hi." "Hi." "I, um, picked up some beer and two strombolis from goombah'S." "Can we talk?" "How can I say no to beer and strombolis?" "That would be slightly irresponsible of you." "Don't forget it was hannah that threw the first punch." "It's unseemly you would cry flnow that the gloves are off." "The only reason this is an issue is because of the engagement announcement." "You're just not happy unless everyone's as miserable as you are." "I don't understand what all this is about." "Hannah assaulted me, ray." "The woman you plan on marrying is violent and quick-tempered." "You provoked her." "Even if I did, that's no excuse for her lack of restraint." "Children often provoke their parents." "What is she raises a hand against jasper or casper?" "hannah would never do that." "Well, I'm not willing to take that chance." "If you really plan on marrying that girl, I... there's nothing I can do about that." "But I'm not about to let you put our children in harm's way." "I'm petitioning the court for full custody of jasper and casper." "You can have hannah... or the boys." "But you cannot have both." "I'm sorry." "girlfriend?" "No, it's ikey, which is strange." "Why is that strange?" "You guys aren't friends anymore?" "Ikey's kinda on the outs." "He slept with owen rowan's wife." "No way." "That's awful." "Yeah, it sucked... for everyone." "That's too bad." "You guys were so close." "You know, it's weird how some things are completely different now, and others are the exact same... like these strombolis." "Yeah, I-I haven't had these in years." "As good as you remember?" "Mmm, pretty da good." "You ever think about how different our lives would be if I never left the ridge?" "Maybe we'd be married now or have a family." "Rory, I..." "look, I just..." "I wanna say I'm sorry-- sorry for being so selfish and misguided." "But in the end,I got exactly what I deserved-- a ginormous servingof karmic payback." "Come on." "We were kids." "If you're gonna get your heart broken, best be done when you're young." "Yeah,but looking back on it, I never really felt like a kid back then." "But I do feel a little like one now." "Searching everyone they say love conquers all you can't start it like a car you can't stop it with a gun" "we should stop." "Yeah, we--we should, 'cause I wouldn't be kissing you." "I'd be kissing jake...or the memory of jake." "Yeah, I wouldn't be kissing you, either." "I'd be... kissing senior year and the way things usedo be." "Yeah,senior year and jake,edgar, the way things used to be... suddenly this is starting to sound like an orgy." "I should go." "Hey, rory, I... you should know I'm seeing someone." "I'm not surprised." "She's a lucky girl." "She is a girl, right?" "this is good pie." "Where'd you get it?" "Oh, I picked it up from holly'S." "Mmm." "It's good.Holly's is ." "Mmm." "Pretty good." "how many times do I have to ask you to turn off that godforsakaken contraption for the 40 odd minutes it takes us to have a family dinner?" "Whoa." "Sorry." "everything okay?" "Sure." "Ronnie, could you passthe whipped cream, please?" "I have cancer." "What did you just say?" "I have cancer." "Bone marrow cancer." "but they caught it in time." "The docs say I can beat it." "The treatment's, um... gonna make me feel like crap." "So I'll probably be a bigger pain in the ass than I usually am." "I wanna apologize to you boys for that in advance." "Dad..." "I mean, how can you just sit there and be-- I know you have a lot of questions, but, um... for now, could we just enjoy our pie?" "can she do that-- just take jasper and casper away?" "I'll get into it with the lawyer inhe morning." "The truth is, you did hit christine." "She has a legitimate complaint." "Okay, fine, then I'll just-- I'll apologize to her, then." "It won't matter." "She already got what she wanted--leverage." "Nothing we do athis point is gonna change that." "I feel so stupid and mapulated." "welcome to my world." "We'll get through this." "I'll talk to the lawyer, and we'll work it out." "I got your message." "Unfortunately, the only liquor I had at the house is my cousin barney's self-distilled corn whiskey, which is fine if you wanna clean a carburetor." "It'll do." "I can give you a ride home if you want." "I gotta stop by the window shop anyway." "Oh, it's a nice night." "I think I'll just walk." "You take care of yourself, all right?" "That's why I'm here." "Maybe you should slow down." "That stuff can make blind men more blind." "Maybe you need tjoin me." "I'm happy to be your booze buddy, but... maybe using our lips to talk instead of drink might be more beneficial." "I have a question." "Why did you kiss me when we did the dry run thing?" "I take it back." "Talking's way overrated." "Seriously." "Why did you kiss me?" "What do you see in me anyway?" "M not pretty," "I'm not smart, and I'm definitely not good at preventing my boyfriend from hooking up with his prom date." "the best part about you." "Is that you always remember me." "Every year since I was 12, you've had a card for me on my birthday." "When I locked myself in the beer cellar... was you that noticed I was missing." "I've always been an in-the-background kind of guy, but... you always make me feel like I'm front and center." "I just wish I could make you feel theame way." "ahem." "It's in his bones." "I mean, how do you-- how do you fight somhing that is that deep inside you?" "it's like ma all over again." "We're not gonna be orphans, nicky.I mean," "I don't-- I don't wanna be an orphan." "I'm glad you're here." "I'm the man on the mountain come on up" "I'm the plowman in the valley how's it hanging, bro?" "Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar" "give me little drink from your loving cup" "just one drink and I'll fall down drunk" "I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun" "I'm the man who brings you roses when you ain't got none" "well, I can run and jump and fish but I won't fight you if you want to push and pull with me all night" "give me little drink from your loving cup" "just one drink and I'll fall down drunk" "yes, am nitty-gritty and my shirt's all torn but I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn" "give me little drink" "From your loving cup just one drink" "hey!" "Eddie!" "Eddie!" "hey!" "Eddie!" "we're ready for another round." "What are you having, doctor?" "Make the call." "I'm in." "I'll go on the tour." "It's about time." "what tour?"
