Everwood s02e17 Episode Script

Sometimes we don't know our own strength.
It can be hard to tell just how much weight you can safely bear or how much crush you.
I'd like to think you can shoulder as big a burden as you believe you can.
That is it is a matter of will.
Certainly a comforting thought.
Away not three months, the girl accumulates a lifetime's worth of possessions.
Tell Beatrice that there is not enough room for this much refuge.
Well, maybe not now, Harold.
Perhaps not.
Well, Private, it's been a hell of a ride.
Thanks, Grandma.
Oh, you make me cry.
Well, none of that from me, little girl.
Oh, come on, Irv.
You know you're going to miss me.
And I'm serious about the TiVo.
You can't VCR me forever.
Alright, this is it.
Dr.
Abbott.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
Or even like me.
But I'm hoping you can at least accept a thank you.
You saved my life.
Actually, it was my daughter who saved your life.
All I did was show up.
Make it quick.
It's been two days.
Didn't you want to make sure I was OK? I called the hospital.
They said you were released yesterday.
So were you going to leave a forwarding address or Just going for a clean getaway? I'm just going home.
-It's good.
-Yeah.
Well, um, I'll give you a call later, let you get settled in.
No, don't.
I think we both know that we can't keep doing this, Tommy.
Look, Amy I screwed up.
I know that.
I, I never should have taken you to that party and we never should have done all that crap.
But this whole thing has been such a serious wake-up call for me.
Well, I'm glad.
I hope you get the help you need.
No, Amy.
I don't need help.
I just, I just need you.
I can't be that person for you anymore, Tommy.
It was just a slip.
One slip.
One night.
That's not who I am.
It wasn't one night.
It was three months of lies.
So what? I'm not good enough for you anymore? What you going to do? Go back to Mommy and Daddy? Go back to being Little Miss Perfect? Is that it? Well, you can't.
You won't be able to.
Not after us.
I gotta go.
Take care of yourself, Tommy.
Other times, it's hard to believe you had any strength at all.
Then you can only hope to have someone to remind you you were once fierce and able.
Are you OK? Yeah.
Let's go home.
"Unfinished Business" This is boring.
Boring.
Are you kidding me? This is fun stuff.
But you go to do it like I told you.
You got to through it really hard.
He's late, Andy.
Only five minutes.
You doing OK? Or maybe he's not coming, maybe he changed his mind about the whole thing, do you think.
I mean, it's- it's possible.
I got to go to the bathroom.
Stay.
I'll take him.
-Hi.
-Hi.
You look good, Nina.
Thanks.
Thank you.
So is that it? Is that it? So is that all we're gonna do, you have nothing else to say to me? Come on, Nina, don't.
It's hard enough.
You have no idea how hard it is.
Daddy's here.
Hey.
Hey.
Look at you.
You've grown a whole foot.
Dr.
Brown, nice to see you.
Hello, Carl.
His, uh, toothbrush, is in the pouch, but, uh, game starts at 9, he said to be Be there at 8:30.
I know.
Come on, let's go play.
Come on, Daddy.
Bye, honey.
I'll see you tomorrow.
So she hasn't exactly said the words.
She doesn't need to, I can tell by the way she looked at me.
Go away little man come back when you're older or taller or just somebody else.
She has very expressive eyes.
Well, this is good.
So, uh, you know, you're still holding some cards.
What cards? I have no cards.
You can break up with her first.
I mean, sure, you're gonna miss out on a lot of pity sex, but sometimes your pride comes before your needs.
Not very often, but it happens.
I think you're missing the point here.
I don't want to break up with her.
I'm trying to reserve a relationship with Madison.
Yeah, if that was a possibility, you'd be over there right now with hand on boob (meter la pata).
You really don't think I can fix things.
You tackled her guitarist.
Got kicked out of the first club that ever gave her a paying gig.
I don't think God could fix this.
See ya later.
You can't keep avoiding me, Bright, our rooms are like two feet away from each other.
He was using my room as his own personal gym, can you believe that? No comment.
Yeah, sorry not your problem.
Just been a really crappy day.
I'm sure it must be weird coming home after all this time, but everything'll get back to normal soon enough.
That's one way to look at it.
Tommy had a slightly different take on the whole thing.
Well, I'm sure he had a good point in his own special way.
You don't have to.
We broke up this morning.
You did? Yeah.
Are you OK? Yeah, I think so.
Kind of saw it coming, you know, like we were forcing things and then that whole thing happened.
I'm sure that you heard.
Yeah, I think pretty much everybody heard.
Sounded pretty scary.
Yeah, but it's OK.
It's for the best.
How are things with you and the Madison thing? Good.
Good.
I mean, you know, she's been real busy with the band and stuff.
But other than that it's been really good.
Well, good.
Well, it's good to know that one of us made a relationship work this year.
Can I, uh? It's OK.
-You sure? -Yeah.
So I take it The Fun Zone, wasn't so fun? Nope.
The Fun Zone was definitely not a fun zone.
I've never seen Nina so nervous.
I knew he was up to something.
I could tell from the way he was acting this morning, but I never.
I'm gonna kill him, Andy.
I swear to God I am going to kill him.
What happened? He's asking for sole custody of Sam.
What? He can't do that.
That's what I said, but apparently he can.
He got a promotion last month.
He's making tons of cash.
I can't compete with that.
Plus he's enrolled Sam in some fancy private school.
I wasn't even going to ask for alimony.
I'm such an idiot.
-I'm gonna lose Sam, aren't I? -No, you're not.
You know there's a lot more to parenting than how much money you make and one visit isn't going to make up for all his neglect.
Kids are smart.
They can see through all that.
Yeah and the courts may be changing but this is still a small conservative county.
The odds of any judge giving sole custody to a single gay father, I mean, it's a long shot.
You don't need to worry, I'm telling you.
She's right, Nina.
No one's going to take Sam away from you.
You're gonna win this case.
Right.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Come on in.
I'm still working on a little anger right now, you're gonna have to give me a second.
Yeah.
Take your time.
Freezing my ass off outside a police station was definitely not as cool as getting my band signed by a manager.
Wasn't exactly the way I thought the night would go, you know.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You know, what really made me mad though is when you didn't call.
You said you would call.
Well, I didn't think you really wanted me to.
I thought you were just saying that to be nice.
Well, you thought wrong.
I wanted you to call so that we could take, you know.
That's one of the things I like about us, Ephram.
We don't play games.
You tell me how you feel.
I know exactly where we stand.
Ah, that's the problem.
I say too much – no filter.
You should've called.
If I knew that not calling was the reason you were gonna break up with me.
Who said I'm breaking up with you? You did.
The other day.
You I'm just gonna stop talking now.
Look, I'm not gonna lie to you, this relationship is hard, maybe a little harder than most.
But so what, that's- that's the ways relationships get, right? That's how they are? Yeah, I guess.
So we work on it.
I mean, how pathetic are we is we just bail at the first sign of trouble.
It's not me.
I know it's not you.
No, not at all.
Me neither.
At least, I don't want it to be me.
Maybe it has been me in the past.
There's good stuff here.
You know, stuff that I think is worth saving.
What I mean is – I know that we have things to work out, but I'm willing to try if you are? Yeah, I mean I think that trying is definitely the right thing to do here.
I think that's much better than that other not trying thing.
I-I think that's bad.
OK.
Good.
This is good.
This is great.
So we'll just back it up a couple of notches.
Regroup.
Maintain hope.
Remain cautiously optimistic.
A little hint for you though.
Um, hmm.
If you forget my birthday, it's over.
Oh, you got a birthday coming up? Funny, laughing.
Brendan and Eric are definitely coming tonight.
We can all fit in my car, but we might have to sit on laps.
I'll take Eric's lap.
Where are you guys going? Hey, Page.
Uh, they just opened up this drive-in diner, where the deli used to be.
Should be the pace to be from now on.
Yeah, um, I heard about that.
So you guys are all going? Sounds like fun.
What are you doing here? I was thinking about joining class again.
I don't know if Mrs.
Baxworth will let me though.
We heard you like ODed and had to the emergency room and get your stomach pumped.
That is so gross.
That didn't exactly happen.
See no track marks.
Are you really going out with Tommy Callahan? No, we broke up actually.
Are we supposed to be sad for you? No, I was just telling you.
In case you were wondering or just curious or whatever.
We weren't.
Ah, so it is true.
Someone wrote Amy Abbott on the class roll and I thought it was a joke.
Welcome back, sweetie.
Ooh.
Don't know where you've been, but it must of treated you well, you're just as skinny as a twig.
Alright, everyone, up on your feet.
I want to see pliés and I want to see them now.
And 5,6,7,8.
Turn out from your hips and not your feet.
When I finally came out, it was like this huge burden lifting.
Like everything had been cloudy and all of a sudden I could see.
I felt better physically, started connecting with people again.
I wasn't ashamed or afraid and I don't know I guess I got my confidence back.
That's when I got the job.
And how long have you been employed at Carnahan Systems? Just under a year.
I bought the house last month when they made me Vice President.
And your salary is $120,000 a year, correct? Plus pension and health.
Sam's on the policy.
Also on my life insurane.
I started a college fund last year and I've already got a place for him at Lamplighter, which is right by my house.
Thank you.
Your witness.
Mr.
Feeney, what's your son's favorite book? Well, there's probably more than one.
Sam loves to read.
Can you tell me the name of his teacher? Again, he's got a lot of them.
So pick one.
Tell me the name of just one of the teachers who spends time educating your son.
I, uh, can't recall.
You don't know anything about Sam's likes do you, sir? Ever since you walked out on him over a year ago.
Look, maybe I can't sit here right now and tell you every detail about Sam's day to day life, but that's what this is all about.
I want to be a part of it again.
I want to be there when he wakes up, when he comes home from school, to tuck him in at night.
I've already missed too much.
I just want to share everything with him.
Have you shared the fact that you're gay? You honor, this is redundant.
We already know about Mr.
Feeney? We know.
That wasn't the question.
I was asking about Sam.
Besides, I believe he opened the door.
I'll ask you again, Mr.
Feeney.
Does your son know that you're gay? I don't know.
Have you told him? Not yet.
He's only six.
We talk about cartoons or PlayStation or what he wants on his pizza.
If I were dating a woman, I wouldn't tell him.
He's not ready.
There's certain things he's just too young to understand or even care about.
And when will he be old enough? I don't know.
Four or five years maybe? Is that how long it will take for you to get comfortable with being a gay father? Should your son have to suffer because you're still ashamed -of your lifestyle? -Objection.
Overruled.
I'm not ashamed of anything.
Why is it when a person says they're gay, their sexuality suddenly becomes the defining thing about them? I'm gay.
I'm also a Republican.
I haven't told Sam about that either.
I thought the question here is what's best for Sam.
Not who's gay and who's not? You don't believe the fact that you're gay will have any effect on Sam's life? I didn't say that.
What I'm saying is I don't think It will have any effect on my ability to be a good parent.
Of course, I'm going to tell my son, Mrs.
Schumacher, when he's ready.
Can we please get some frozen yogurt now? You told me you'd help me get the perfect gift for Madison.
Yeah, but I didn't think it would take this long.
Well, what about this? It's a pot.
Yeah, I know.
She cooks all the time, it's perfect, right? But it's a pot.
Well, it's a no? OK, no.
Are you guys going to get married? What? I don't-I don't know.
I mean, that's-that's a long-long-long way off.
Please don't ask questions like that, OK? Hello.
Is this the jailbait? Who's this? It's Mindy, Madison's friend.
I stole your number from her cell.
Oh, nothing scary about that.
Oh, chill out.
I'm not stalking you.
I'm calling about Maddy's 21st birthday.
Yeah, I'm working on that right now.
I heard about the big schmancy dinner.
She'll love it.
But here's the deal, you've got to move it up for me.
Why? What's going on? Tracy and I want to through her a surprise party.
You know, invite all her buds, make a mess, molest a stripper.
I'm kidding about the stripper, it's too expensive.
But we can decorate while you're out, you bring her back, everyone yells "SURPRISE", you know.
She has a heart attack, we all get wasted.
Sounds like fun.
What time should we be there? Not sure yet, but I'll call you later.
Oh and she's clueless as a Playboy bunny so don't spill the beans.
No problem.
All beans shall remain unspilled.
It's $500, but the man said it was the best.
Where's your wallet? So you were the one who decided not put Sam on Ridlin? Well, I was treating physician and I didn't feel it was indicated.
Sam's a bright, curious, energetic kid, I mean, he can be hard to control sometimes, but he's in kindergarten.
What do you mean "hard to control"? Well, that's overstating it a bit.
I mean, he-he can be a handful but Nina does a good job with that.
As his treating physician, you see him for regular checkups? Yeas and immunizations, the occasional cold, all the routine stuff.
How about the broken arm he sustained on the accident that occurred February 7th of this year? He went to the emergency room for that.
Could you tell the court exactly what happened on that night, I mean, from the best of your recollections, of course? Well, in typical little boy fashion he Without the commentary, Doctor.
Thank you.
Sam tried to drive the family car.
He drove it into a pole.
And you saw the accident happen? No.
I heard a crash.
I ran outside and I found Sam in the car.
And Sam was unsupervised and alone when you found him, correct? No, Nina was in the house.
So he was alone? Well, he had gotten out without her noticing.
It happens to the best of us.
And just how long after the accident occurred did it take Mrs.
Feeney to dash from the house, seconds, a minute? Not long.
Let me help you here, Doctor.
According to insurance adjuster notes, two other neighbors witnessed the event.
They say you sent your own son in to get Mrs.
Feeney out.
Is that true? Yes.
The accident was loud enough to draw you out of your own house, but not Mrs.
Feeney.
I mean, her child had just crashed a car into a utility pole and she didn't hear it.
She's fallen asleep.
Asleep? She was exhausted from working.
Well, it's a good thing that she has you for a neighbor, huh, Doctor.
Thank you.
No more questions.
Counsel, it's been a long day.
Let's hold off on redirect until morning.
You're excused until tomorrow, sir.
We're adjourned.
Hi.
Can you believe it? Irv just brought yet more of Amy's things and swears this is the last or he said as much before.
My goodness how clean? Yeah, I've been after her for years to take down all these posters.
Now that she did, I'm kinda sorry to see it all go.
Yeah.
Including this? Huh? That I won't miss.
Listen, I'm gonna take this stuff down to the garage just in case.
OK.
You let her unpack that.
She can do that later.
Yeah.
Alright, I must have left them on the table when I picked you up.
It's OK.
We have plenty of time.
I'm sure there's an opening act, right? What? I thought that I left the lights on.
-SURPRISE!! -SURPRISE!! We got you.
Oh my God, your face is so red right now.
What? When? How did you do this? You know I toiled.
And I get by with a little help from your friend.
What you knew about this? All part of my master plan.
So we're not going to any concert? There is no concert.
It's a good thing you look stuff up.
Oh my God, I can't believe you.
Mad.
Come here.
Come see what Natty got you.
Come on, JB, I'll hook you up with some tequila shots.
Uh, that's alright.
I, uh, got my ID confiscated.
Uh, Dude, no one's going to card you here.
Yeah, I got to drive later.
I'd rather just keep it between the lines, you know.
Your call.
Alright, but if you change your mind, the bar's in the bathroom and in mass quanitities.
You came? Yeah, I thought it sounded like fun.
Do you guys have any room at your table I can buy an extra basket of fries or onion rings or something? Let me just say that I'm sorry.
I know that I kinda disappeared for awhile and I wasn't the best friend in the world, but I'm gonna change that , try to work on things, you know.
Wow, you're really desperate aren't you? OK, maybe I shouldn't of come.
Or maybe you shouldn't of ditched (avandonar) us in the first place.
I didn't ditch you, Page.
One day, we're talking on the phone all the time and the next, Laynie's your new best friend and you won't even wave to me in the halls.
Well, I didn't see you calling me.
I didn't see any of you pick up the phone or do one kind thing after Colin died.
You just wanted me to keep on doing what I always did.
Plan all the parties, go to the mall, fight for the best dance costume.
Well, I couldn't, Page and I thought you'd understand that.
I'm sorry.
Were your druggie friends more understanding? I'm just trying to get my life back.
Well, you can't have it back.
I am so sorry.
It's OK.
I don't know what happened.
He was asking me all these medical questions and then next thing I know it just came out.
I feel awful.
I mean, if you already hate me.
I don't hate you.
Look, I'm gonna fix this, Nina.
I will do whatever it takes to make it right.
I'm not mad, Andy.
I mean, I might be someday but right now, it's You know when I was in that courtroom listening to those words come out of your mouth, I couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe it either, but I I mean, I couldn't believe that you were talking about me and all you did was tell the truth.
And when I heard it all I could think was anybody who would let than happen to her son doesn't deserve him.
Maybe Carl's right.
Maybe I'm not the best person to take care of Sam anymore.
What are you talking about? It was my mistake.
If you need to get mad at someone, get mad at me.
Yell at me.
What should I think? Look at me, I'm working my ass off in three jobs.
I never have time for Sam anymore and when I do, I'm too tired to do anything but snap at him.
I have completely missed the point.
No.
No.
That's exactly the point.
You are willing to do anything to make a life for him.
But what good is that if I can't even keep him safe.
I wouldn't give me custody either.
It was an accident, Nina.
It could have happened to anyone.
So I have a cousin in Denver who owns a couple of restaurants.
He's always complaining that he can't find a good floor manager.
So, uh, one thing I do know is the restaurant business.
Denver? What are you talking about? Half the house is mine.
Carl already agreed to that so if I can get a good price and get some good work.
I-I should be able to afford a place in his neighborhood.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
You talking about moving.
You love this town.
I know, but if Carl takes Sam.
I have to be near him, Andy.
And let's face it, there's nothing keeping me here anymore.
Well, you can't just leave.
I I mean Everybody in this town is crazy about you.
You Andy? Well, just promise me you won't make a decision about it right now.
This isn't over yet.
Feels like it is.
You guys were talking about me.
Irv brought by the remainder of your things today.
I took it upstairs ad opened it for you and, uh Your birth control pills were there.
Hmm.
I hope you know that I wasn't rummaging through your personal affects with any idea of finding something.
As is I was not looking for anything.
No, it's OK.
I don't blame you.
In any case, since I did find them, I feel a conversation is in order.
I'm not sleeping with anybody and I didn't sleep with Tommy if that's what you guys were wondering Can I go upstairs now? I'm not sure we're done yet.
Honestly, Dad, there's nothing to discuss.
I thought it was a good idea, but as it turns out everything I think that is a good idea is actually really wrong.
And, umm, I thought I could get my life back which I was wrong about that too.
Now I have no friends and Bright hates me.
Just tell me what you want me to do, I'll do it.
You want me to throw out the pills, I will.
Just I'm tired and I want to go to bed, OK? Of course.
Get some rest.
Maybe we all share some blame in this.
I'm sorry that you ever go so desperate that you had to go to one of those clinics instead of coming to us.
I didn't go to a clinic, Dad.
What? Amy, who gave you the pills? Hey.
So how was dinner? Did you guys have fun? Uh, food sucked, but at least the atmosphere was bad.
Sorry.
Kind of forced you to have the geriatric dinner.
Hard to get your groove on at 6 o'clock.
That was the least of out problems, believe me.
But at least she's having fun now.
I'd feel bad if her entire birthday was a bust.
I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think.
She really digs you, you know.
She talks about you all the time.
Yeah? You kind of love her don't you? Yeah, you have that face.
I remember when I had the face.
Derrick Sehn, we called him demi-god, because he was basically god-like.
I met him freshman year, we dated for like six months.
It was the most amazing six months of my life.
And then he decided had to bike around South America so he dropped out.
We said goodbye at the airport and I haven't heard from him since.
That's pretty much the worst pain I ever felt.
Why does everybody feel the need to tell me how awful their first love was? I don't know.
I guess because they're always awful and amazing and usually over before they start.
Uh, we're out of beer, people.
This party's on the move.
Come on, we're going to the Rhythm Room.
Uh, that's OK.
Uh, no ID remember? Oh, don't worry about it.
Mindy can get you in, she's great at stuff like that.
Uh, that's alright.
I, uh I'd rather not get carded in front of all these people, stupid, but I- I don't have to go.
Are you kidding? No.
Go.
It's your birthday.
Have fun.
I got a math test tomorrow anyway.
But I wanted to spend tonight with you.
Well, so did I, but Here we are again.
Let's go, birthday girl.
Cab's here.
Call me later, OK? So Mrs.
Feeney is trustworthy? Well, I guess the best way to answer that is I leave my kids with her all the time.
I wouldn't do that if I didn't trust her completely.
So Mrs.
Feeney has provided care for your children in her home? Well, sometime I worry that my daughter's more comfortable at her house than she is in her own room.
And the incident that you described yesterday did it make you feel less inclined to do so? No, not at all.
Thank you.
Could I – Could I say one more thing please? Your honor? Relax, Counsel, there's no jury here.
Though as I said, I live next door to Nina and I've seen her go through a lot this year.
I mean, she was in an impossible situation.
She was left alone without resources and without help.
Yet, in spite of that, she didn't just survive, she flourished.
And continued to be there for all of her friends, myself included.
And-and Nina is my best friend.
And believe me, I haven't had many best friends.
She loves this place.
She doesn't want to leave here, but she's already made plans to move to Denver in case she loses today to be near her son and I hope she doesn't have to do that.
Your Honor, I know you're here to determine the best interest of this child and I know it falls outside of my jurisdiction as a doctor, but I have to tell you that it is in the best interest of anyone to line in Nina's company and be a part of her life.
Please.
Please don't take her and Sam away from us.
We need her here.
I need her here.
Of course, we're going to object to all of that.
It's nonresponsive to the questions, even if there was a question.
Overruled.
I thought you had dance class.
I'm not going.
Bright, I'm tired and I just want to go home, OK? No, you don't.
You want to go to class but you're scared.
I'm not scared.
I'm not.
Look, it's your life.
You get to decide what to do with it, not them.
I can't go in there.
Yeah, you can.
Come on.
You're the best dancer in the school.
You shouldn't just give up what you love because some ass hats made you feel bad.
Screw them.
They'll come around.
How do you know, you haven't? You were there the other night, you saw what they did, you didn't do anything about it.
That's because I was still mad.
If you want to know the truth, I'm still a little pissed off.
You seriously messed up my senior year which only happens once or – or like twice.
If you're so mad, then why do you even care? Because it was messed up what Page did to you, you know.
I don't like seeing you being treated that way, you know.
I mean, I can treat you like that, but if everyone starts doing that then what's the fun in that.
They'll get over it, Amy.
You just got to stay in their face about it.
You got to be you.
Go.
Be yourself.
Annoying, self-righteous, pain in the ass.
You.
Keep talking, brother, keep talking.
I didn't want to open it without you.
I'm sorry I just had to go.
You're not the one who should be sorry.
It's me.
I shouldn't of gotten so drunk.
I-I didn't realize I was so What are you kidding me? It was your 21st birthday.
I think it's allowed.
In fact, I think it's mandatory.
You want to go first or should I? No, I will.
I can't.
Well, at least we tried.
At the end – at the end of the day, we really tried.
I know.
I just wish that there was something that I could change or that we could change.
I mean, if there's anything that we could actually do to save this thing I'd do that in a heartbeat, you know that right? Well, if only my parents had had sex four years earlier.
Damn them.
You're the most amazing guy, Ephram.
Please.
Don't do that.
Please.
-I have to.
-No.
There's a part of me that did fall – really truly fall and I know you didn't feel it and I'm sorry that you didn't.
But it was there and I need you to know that and believe it.
Here.
No.
It's for you.
I can't.
I know that if I open this, it's going to be perfect.
It's just gonna make me sadder, 'cause you're so perfect.
So I can't, Ephram.
Do you want to tell Delia or should I? Delia? No, it's alright, I can tell her if-if you want me to.
It doesn't matter.
No, I'll do it.
I'll-I'll; umm, I'll come by later or tomorrow maybe.
Figure out what to say.
I gotta go.
OK.
See ya.
All rise.
Please be seated.

Your son's staying with you.
Thank you, Counsel.
Andy, thank you so much.
It's all you.
It's all you .
See you outside.
Well, congratulations, you win.
I never wanted this fight to begin with.
Look, we don't have to argue anymore, we don't even have to talk if that's what you want.
That's not what I want, Nina.
I never meant to be your enemy.
I just wanted to be with Sam again.
I offered you that and you wanted more.
I know and I'm sorry.
I thought I was doing the right thing, I really did.
Then yesterday when Andy was talking about the accident I was so happy.
I thought I could win.
I didn't even think about what you went through that night or what Sam went through.
I was just happy you made a mistake.
That's when I realized I wasn't thinking about who the bad parent was.
This whole time I just missed him.
Yeah, he missed you too.
Anyway, tell Sam I'm happy for him.
Tell him yourself.
You have him this weekend.
Harold? Did you hear about Nina? I'm just going next door to celebrate, wanna come over? Did you really think I'd become such a bad parent that I wouldn't find out? Find out what? You gave Amy birth control pills.
I'd like you to tell me what the hell you were thinking? Well, she came to me.
We discussed it.
I couldn't just send her away.
That's exactly what you should've done.
If I had done that, she would have just gone to someone else.
I thought you'd rather she at least have someone who would look after her, talk to her.
You have no idea, what I would rather.
How could you not come to me? I don't know what to say.
She asked me specifically not to tell you.
Of course, she did.
She wouldn't of come to you in the first place if she didn't think she was doing something wrong.
She wasn't doing anything wrong.
She mad a responsible decision – the right one for her.
She though it through carefully – she considered her reasons and her options.
You raised a very smart -young woman, Harold.
-She's not a woman.
-To you, she's not.
-She's 16.
Sixteen.
You know the law as well as I do.
She merits confidentiality.
AS a doctor, I had no choice.
I have no interest in your thoughts as a doctor.
You should've come to me as your friend.
Yes, I know the laws as surely as I know that I would break them without a moment's hesitation if your son came to me.
I stood behind you when the rest of this town blamed you for Colin Hart's death, because I believed in your judgment.
I told my sister that you were a decent man worthy of her heart.
I-I may not have liked you, but I always respected what you were.
I admired the doctor enough that I could forgive the man.
Well, not anymore, I am through with you.
From this day forth, you stay away from my family, keep out of their lives and you best keep your distance from me.
And if I don't make myself clear, I encourage you to test me.
Hey, you.
Hey.
I was just picking up a little food.
Do you You going for a walk? Yeah, I was at the bookstore looking at books.
Pretty much the same stuff there was last week.
Yeah, tell me about it.
That copy of Seabiscuit – it's been in the window since I moved here.
I'm thinking about buying it just to see whatever they put up next Do you want a ride home? I got my car.
Actually, I want to walk.
I feel like walking a little bit.
Where are we going? Nowhere.
Sounds good.
So how are things at home? Getting any better? A little.
School, on the other hand, is going to be a torture at least until I graduate.
In fact, I'll give you a dollar to sit with me at lunch.
Deal.
You're supposed to say it's free.
Well, I know an opportunity when I see one.
You're sad.
A little.
Something happen? Madison and I broke up.
What? When? About an hour ago.
Oh my God.
The other, you said that everything was fine.
I thought Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
I-I- lied a little bit.
Don't ask me why? Why? I don't know.
I-I guess I thought if I pretended everything was great, it would actually be great.
Protecting hope.
It worked for Seabiscuit.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I know how much you liked her and she seems really great, but But what? But if she was dumb enough to let you go, she mustn't have been that perfect.
She's gonna be really upset when she realizes what she gave up.
Trust me.
You know, I say we keep walking until we run out of fries.
We can always buy more fries.
