Everwood s02e18 Episode Script

It's the winds of change.
Sometimes, they are a gentle breeze, a welcome relief.
Sometimes, a brief gust, quickly forgotten.
But other times, they are blow in like a foul at devastating gale, blazing a path of destruction that leaves us holding on for dear life.
Mmmm, something sure smells good, doesn't it, guys? A Hammerhill specialty.
My children loved it and my grandchildren love it.
Well, what about your great-grandchildren? What is it? Tuna surprise.
What's the surprise? Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.
Is this really the best we could do? Well, I wasn't given much notice, was I? Oh no no.
I always get to chop.
Not on my watch.
Knifes and children don't mix.
You can toss the salad.
Madison let me chop.
I know, sweetie, but Mrs.
Hammerhill has different rules.
And since Madison isn't coming anymore It's not my fault Madison is not coming.
Delia! No.
It's fine.
She's right.
The casserole will be done in precisely ten minutes and I'll see you tomorrow.
Would you care to join us for dinner? Oh thank you, Doctor, but I don't dine with my charges.
Charges? Mmhmmm.
Oh, we're really not that formal around here.
That's readily apparent.
But I prefer to keep things on the up-and-up just the same.
I'll meet you at the bus stop again tomorrow.
Oh, you don't have to.
It's one block.
I can walk myself.
Well, perhaps when I was a girl but nowadays It's not worth the risk.
You know, I really don't think that's Now, nine more minutes on the casserole.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Night, Mrs.
Hammerhill.
Well.
At least we don't have to worry about Ephram dating her.
"Last Looks" I mean, I don't know how much more I can take.
I can't eat.
I can't sleep.
I hate to rain on your parade, but you are not the one who just broke up.
Hey, I wish it was me.
Me – I could handle.
Knock back a bottle of Glenlivit and call it a night.
You can't drown your kids in alcohol to get them through a breakup.
Can you? He'll be alright.
Just, you know, stay out of his way.
Sneak a few extra boxes of Kleenex into his room for the late night crying jags.
Yeah, well, enjoy these years while you can.
Because when Sam starts dating, it's a whole new level of pain.
Hey, Dr.
Abbott.
Nina.
I trust my order is ready.
Yep.
Right here.
Thank you.
So is that what happens when you two see each other on the playground.
He could have said hello just as easily.
Uh, huh.
Now I know why he's pissed at you, but what's your excuse.
I'm pissed at him because he's pissed at me.
And who's the teenager in your house again? Look, I know that you both think you're standing on principles here, but enough is enough.
The two of you are happiest when you have each other to kick around.
So, step up, be the bigger man and apologize, again.
Apologize again and let's get things back to normal.
Forget it.
I did the right thing.
I know it and Harold knows it.
Amy is his daughter.
Look, I apologized to him for hurting his feelings.
But I am not going to apologize for doing what any other doctor would have done under those circumstances.
If he doesn't want to be friends, that's fine with me.
It's not like I'm missing anything.
You know-you know that whole out of sight out of mind.
That's all B.
S.
Some Hallmark guy must of come up with that one because my mind is constantly on Madison.
Who's she with? What's she doing? I think about her now more than I ever did before.
Really.
I hadn't-I hadn't noticed.
Well, I'm considering shock therapy.
Hey, Bright.
I'm in, man.
I'm playing ball at USC next year, baby.
-Oh, way to go, Marv.
-Yeah.
Go Trojans.
That's awesome, Dude.
Thanks, man.
Beaches, babes, Hollywood.
That is great.
Congratulations, man.
Hey, thanks man.
Look, I got to go tell Merch.
Did you apply there? No.
I'm starting to get my letters back though.
I'm two for four.
Really, that's great.
Two rejections out of four.
Oh, why didn't you say anything? I- It's not exactly something that you want to brag about you know.
But it's cool.
I mean – I'm- I'm, uh, waiting for Notre Dame.
That's the goal.
That's like the Ivy League of football, right? See.
I'm absorbing.
Right.
It's kind of a pipe dream though, you know.
I'll have to go for a walk-on slot.
Kind of hard to get recruited when they don't let you play your senior year.
But, it's cool.
I mean, Beels thinks even without ball I got a shot.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, Marvin's like the dumbest kid in school and he got into USC.
Let me rephrase.
No.
No.
It's cool, man.
I hear ya.
Whatever.
I'm not – I'm not even gonna go to college.
I don't - I mean college means more college girls and I've had enough trouble with them for a little while Do you think she thinks about me? She's probably completely over it.
Whatever.
I don't care.
Right.
Please, just one game.
It's called Spit.
I'll teach you.
I don't much care for that word, young lady.
And regardless, I don't play games.
But Madison always played with me after I finished my homework.
I'm sorry I'm not interested in the previous doings of this Madison woman.
I'll play Spit with you.
I don't want to play with you – like ever.
Volume, Delilah, volume.
Young man, where are you going? Hello? Bright? Rose? Come on, Dad, respect the TV.
What is it, Harold? It's here.
Mail from Notre Dame.
Well, don't make that face, honey.
You haven't opened it yet.
Skinny envelope.
When they accept you, they send a big one.
You don't know that.
It could be an acknowledgment of something.
Maybe they need additional information.
Perhaps they're inviting you for an interview.
I mean, maybe I got wait listed.
It gives me a shot, right? Yeah, absolutely.
Open it, Bright.
That's fine.
Alright, we knew this was a possibility.
Not the end of the world.
No, just the end of Notre Dame.
That isn't true.
Come on, Bright, there are plenty of options here.
So you go to your safety school for the first two years and transfer in.
At the end of the day, you'll still be able to say that you graduated from Notre Dame.
You'll still be a Fighting Irishman.
Big picture, Bright.
You'll get there - – one way or the other.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll degain them so much I won't even want to transfer.
Yeah, that's right.
Forget the Irish, they had their shot.
Here? Well, we knew Notre Dame would be tough.
Oh, I was expecting this.
Fully prepared for it in fact.
I just wasn't prepared to see him like that.
Ephram? What are you doing here? I'm-I'm sorry.
I should have called first.
I Oh, man.
I didn't think that we'd be doing this part already.
Well, what part? Is there a part? God, I'm sorry.
I just I don't think I can do this yet.
It's too soon.
Why? I What are you talking about? I Too soon for what? You're here to try to get back together with me, aren't you? No.
I mean, is-is that something I-I-I should be trying to do? Uh, no.
OK.
'Cause I mean I.
.
It's not.
I was-I was here for something else.
I'm confused.
It's Delia.
What's wrong with Delia? Nothing.
I-I mean, everything.
She-She's totally freaking out.
She hates me.
She hates everybody.
You need to come back to work.
What? No.
I-I can't.
OK? We talked about this.
Delia and I talked about this.
Yeah, well, it didn't take and now she's stuck with Mrs.
Doubtfire's evil twin.
I'm telling you, the woman is brutal.
She can't be that bad.
She won't let Delia chop.
She loves to chop.
That's what I'm saying.
Alright, look, this whole situation, it sucks, but if it's not fair to Delia if-if you can't be there because of me.
I mean, I can handle it.
Well, maybe you can, but I don't know if I can.
I mean, it's hard enough not thinking about you as it is.
-But then to be with you and not -whoa, whoa.
.
!! You think about me? Look, we're the adults here, right? I mean, relatively speaking of course.
I-I Why We should be able to get over this so that Delia doesn't end up stabbing the old bat with a knitting needle.
Stabbing, huh? She's end up doing hard time for that.
Well, yeah.
I'm You're worried about her.
She's got her whole life ahead of her.
You know, I'm- I'm thinking prison intervention here.
OK, if I come back, it's only on a trial basis.
Yeah, of course.
And it's for work – for Delia.
If it gets weird, that's it.
I'm out.
Yeah, no-no weirdness.
Just for work.
OK.
Alright.
And inhale.
2,3,4,5.
Hold it.
And exhale.
2,3,4,5.
Good.
Now, take one last deep breath.
Exhale through your nose.
2.
.
3.
.
Good.
So how do you feel? Very relaxed.
You know, I thought I had a handle on the breathing thing, but apparently not.
I knew there was so much to it.
Well, you seem good, Amy.
Your appetite's been stable.
Blood pressure.
Heart rate.
How are things at home? They're OK, I guess.
Different.
Well, I'm glad to hear it, because I think it's time that we lowered your Zoloft dosage.
What's the next run? Nothing.
When you finish the bottle that you're taking.
You're done.
But I only have about 4 or 5 pills left.
Umm, is that even enough for a week, is this I- I know, because we already tapered down your dosage from the original a few weeks ago and I consulted with your father and based on your chart and how you're doing, I think it's time to stop.
I don't know.
I mean, I guess I've never really thought about going off of them.
I just I I mean, I think I have to eventually but You really think I'm ready? I do.
We'll keep meeting and I want you to keep up those relaxation techniques we've been working on.
And I wish, you would try yoga again if you could stop giggling.
I'll try.
Thanks, Aunt Linda.
You're welcome.
It's gonna be good, OK? OK.
See you later.
OK.
Salad's ready.
Table's ready.
And I am ready to eat.
Or not.
What's going on here? Ephram fired Mrs.
Hammerhead.
He fired Hey, Dr.
Brown.
Wait a minute.
When? How? Uh, over the phone this morning.
it actually it went pretty smoothly.
I've had some experience letting sitters go before if you recall.
No, but, uh, don't worry.
I mean, everything's cool.
We- we talked about it-it and it's fine.
She's, uh, gonna do her job, I'm gonna do mine.
We're gonna maintain a strictly professional relationship so everybody'll be happy.
I'm not happy.
Well, you will be.
So I'm gonna go wash my hands.
Call me when dinner's ready.
I'm sorry.
I thought her talked to you.
You know what, Madison, in this situation there is a very fine line between maturity and stupidity and I'm not entirely sure which side of that line you two are on, right now.
I know.
At first, it seemed crazy to me too, but he genuinely felt bad about.
And the other woman just sounded so awful, no offense.
It just didn't seem fair.
Yes, and I certainly appreciate all the concern for that situation.
But I don't want somebody using that situation to effect change for some other situation, if you know what I mean.
So if you two are trying to get back together again No.
We're not.
Honestly, I'm here for Delia.
I think it'll be OK.
Dad, look.
Madison let me make jello that looks like a brain.
Isn't it gross? Yes, honey, it's very gross.
Thank you.
Mac and cheese.
Bright must of done something good.
All this fuss over carbs and cholesterol, I say so what.
I could help.
I'd like that.
Well, why don't you turn that up a little? It's always best to Heat the milk first, I remember.
I am hoping that this is going to cheer your bother up a bit.
If gobs of butter and cheese won't do the trick, I don't know what will.
So, uh, is Bright still bummed about Notre Dame? Umm, he won't admit it, but yeah.
I believe so.
He worked so hard to get his grades up.
I think he-he really believed they wouldn't look at his previous scores.
Yeah, of course, that, uh, suspension didn't help matters any.
Anyways, its just-just so hard.
I remember when I was his age – you'll be there next year.
It's nerve racking.
It really is.
Waiting everyday for the mail.
Your entire future seems tied to the mailman's schedule.
Your life summed up in one particular size envelope.
It's awful.
Oh, my Lord.
How high did you turn it? Too high, I guess.
What a mess!! I missed you so much.
And this goes straight into the washer.
Ooh.
No.
No.
No.
Hey.
Hey.
Playing Speed Spit, wanna play? Uh, no, umm, I'm You guys just keep playing.
You know, I'm fine.
You can practice, if that's what you were gonna do.
We can go in the other room.
No, umm, mo.
I'm You guys, stay here.
I mean, this is definitely the-the best room for-for Speed Spitting.
Umm, so, umm, I'll Do you guys- do you want a snack or, uh, or, uh, refreshments, or anything? Why are you being so nice? He can't help himself.
He's just that nice a guy.
Umm, I-I actually, uh, I gotta- gotta go to the library.
So I don't understand.
Understand what, sweetie? Well, if he's sad and you're sad, then why don't you guys just get back together and be happy again? It's a little bit more complicated than that.
Is it because he's a kid and you're not? It's not that.
It's just we're in different places in our lives right now, that's all.
But you're both here.
I'll be right back.
You know of all the bad ideas I've had and there have been many, this one is definitely the worst.
You know, I-I didn't think it was possible to think about her anymore than I already did.
Well, guess what, having her around all the time actually ups the thinking quotient.
I feel like I'm going crazy like that guy in A Beautiful Mind, who SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES, PLEASE? I'VE HAD TO LISTEN TO YOU WHINE ABOUT THIS CRAP FOR A WEEK NOW.
GOD, I AM SO SICK OF IT.
What's your problem? My whole life is falling apart – that's my problem.
I-I'm thinking about working at a All you do – you moan about some stupid chick.
Dude, you got dumped.
Get over it.
What's with the 7-11? I didn't get into Notre Dame.
I'm sorry.
Did they say why or anything? No.
They are nice enough to not put "You're too stupid" in the letter.
So Like it matters.
Whatever.
Big shock.
Bright Abbott not South Bend material.
Boo hoo.
But you know what, I would've been if those jerk offs had let me play ball this year.
Relax, it's not that bad.
It is that bad, dude.
Don't you see, I am out of choices.
My last shot is A&M and they don't even have a decent football team.
You know, then I get to work my ass off for another two years and have the same no life that I had this year.
My whole life is gonna suck after high school.
Hey, Bright? Just go home, dude.
HEY? You're giving me pudding.
Snack packs.
Vanilla and chocolate – so you can blend at your own convenience.
Cool, thanks.
Look, you're right.
I, uh, I've been all about me lately.
Kinda crappy for listening.
Uh, it's cool, man.
Doesn't matter anyways since I've decided not to go to college.
What? Why? Well, it's a pretty easy decision, really – seeing as though I didn't get in anywhere, including A&M.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry.
Ah, it's cool.
I mean, I'll figure something out.
You know, maybe do the military thing.
Shave my head.
Shoot some stuff.
Wait, so you're just gonna give up on school? Just cause of this? Well, it's not exactly up to me.
I mean, they said, "no, thank you".
It's done.
No, it's not done.
There's stuff you can do.
Oh, like what? Like-like the guy who signed this letter.
Alright, go find him.
Talk to him.
Change his mind.
-I don't think it works like that, bro.
-It does if you make it.
Colorado A&M is what two hours away from here probably less.
Go find this, Dr.
Edward Burdell.
Tell him how much you want it, alright.
If there's one thing you can do is – talk.
I do talk pretty good, don't I? But still, I mean But nothing.
Remember that time w hen we were at Sal's.
We didn't have enough enough money to pay for it because you spent it all on Big League Chew.
Yeah, I thought we were gonna be there all night washing dishes, but no.
You not only got up out of it.
By the time we left, the guy was offering you a job.
Nobody could have done that, but you.
That was pretty hot, right? It was awesome.
It-it was like you had this mind control device, except it wasn't.
It was-it was just you - and that my friend is a gift.
The fact is you're better in person than on paper.
I am, aren't I? Way better.
They just looked at your application.
Flipped through it along with a- a couple thousand other ones and moved on.
Go back three and make them take a second look, alright.
I don't take no for an answer.
Slow down and tell me what's wrong? I can't do it.
I can't.
I-I thought I could and I wanted to, but I'm not ready.
It's not gonna happen.
It's too soon.
Oh, you're talking about quitting your Zoloft.
Maybe if we just give it another month so I can settle in a little bit – get my bearings.
What prompted this, Amy? Did something happen? My mom hugged me.
And that's a bad thing? You don't understand she hugged me because she was so happy that I was home and that everything was back to normal, but it's not really.
I mean, I- I'm faking this and I can do that now because I have the pills, but-but if I go off the pill then I can't fake it anymore and I become the same person that I was before.
I-I can't do it.
So you're worried about your family? I just don't want to put them through what I put them through before.
I can't risk messing things up – having everybody disappointed in me again.
I mean, what if I get depressed again or worse? Come here.
Sit.
Listen to me.
You will get depressed again.
You'll be sad sometimes, probably more than you'd like if your life is anything like most peoples and you'll yell and you'll cry a little, but you'll get past it.
I mean, that's how life works.
I know and I want to get back to being that person eventually, but for now, I would rather just fake it a little.
You know, be a little better than me.
You know, keep everybody happy because I might not deserve it but they do.
Please, just one more month.
Don't make me go off with them yet.
All right.
I'm not gonna make you do anything that you're not ready to do.
So, um, we'll keep you, uh, where you were for another month and then we'll take it from there, OK? OK.
Thank you.
Wow.
You know, if Martha ever goes to jail, you could definitely take over her empire.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, of course, you have to learn how to make a wreath out of pinecones and leftover meatloaf, but Is it soup yet? It's meat.
It's never gonna be soup.
Unless it's stew.
Oh, sorry.
I thought I turned that off.
Hey Yeah, I got the change I can't talk now.
I'll call you later.
Bye.
Jay? Just band stuff, sorry.
That didn't take you too long.
Excuse me.
Nothing.
Forget it.
It was about practice tomorrow.
Yeah, Whatever, it's fine.
How could you think that I was? Who else wants salad, Ephram? No, actually I think I'm gonna take off.
But dinner's already done.
It's OK.
I'll go.
No.
No.
No.
You should stay.
Seriously.
Invite Jay.
You guys can all have a good time hanging out together.
All right.
That's enough.
OK? Now this doesn't seem to be the business agreement that you two had talked about.
No, it's fine.
No, it's not fine.
You can't even see fine from here.
Now it was a very nice effort on everyone's part, but it has become very clear to me that we need to reevaluate this agreement.
NO, WE DON"T.
Yes, we do.
I'm sorry if I have to put my foot down, but I should have done this six months ago.
I knew how this was gonna end back then.
I told you both.
I wish someone had listened to me.
Well, what do you mean someone? Did you talk to Madison behind my back? No, I didn't talk to her about you.
I talked to her about the two of you.
I told her my concerns.
You told her we wouldn't work out.
what she was getting herself into – the possible repercussions.
Repercussions? It's not what you think, Ephram.
And you never told me about this.
I can't believe you.
You're making a bigger deal about it than it actually was.
What could be a bigger deal than my girlfriend and my dad talking about me behind my back like I'm some kind of child.
How could you do that to me? Both of you? Can I have the carrots? Wonderful meal, Rose.
So, I-I need a note to get out of class tomorrow.
Why is something wrong? No-no.
I-I have an appointment at Colorado Springs I gotta drive to so? What kind of appointment do you have in Colorado Springs requires your attention all of a sudden? Colorado A&M.
Well, honey, that's wonderful.
I didn't get in.
When did you hear? Yesterday.
I didn't want to give you guys anymore bad news.
But it's cool, 'cause, uh , I'm going down there and change their minds.
Well, I-I don't think that's a good idea, Bright.
I mean, no, once they make their decisions it's nearly impossible to reverse it.
Well, we'll come up with a new plan.
I have a plan.
It's a good one.
I have an appointment with the guy that sent me the letter.
I- I applaud your tenacity, but it simply- it doesn't work this way.
I don't care how it works.
This is my only shot.
Well, listen to me.
I'm not gonna allow you to-to drive all the way out there on a lark.
Now, let's be rational for a minute and discuss a better strategy here.
Oh, let me guess, one that you come up with.
Bright? What? This is.
.
It's like we're right back to where we were at the beginning of the year.
You were so sure I couldn't raise my GPA but I did.
Didn't I? All A's and B's last semester.
Didn't see that coming.
Hey, even better than Amy.
Didn't think that's happen, but it did.
I just want to know why, for once in my life, you can't support me for something that I want to do.
Well, I do support you.
I simply can't understand why you would want to put yourself through this.
Because I have no other choice, is why.
Well, yes, you do.
You could attend classes at ECC next year.
Find yourself a job nearby.
Your mother and I want you close anyway.
That's not what I want.
It's just for a year.
It's not the end of the world, Bright.
Yes, it is the end of the world.
For heaven's sake, Bright, how much more rejection can you stand? I don't know, Dad.
How much more you got? Fine.
OK, last time.
Six times eight is? Ain't that great.
It was a pretty bad fight tonight.
I've seen worse.
But, yeah, it was pretty bad.
I'm sorry it happened in front of you like that.
You should know that sometimes people say things they don't mean when they're upset.
We don't.
You know, Brittany thinks she's my best friend, but she's not really.
You are.
And you're mine.
You know, I love you, girly girl.
I love you too, but What is it, sweetie? It's just that I love Ephram too.
And since he's my brother and we're related and everything, I have to love him more.
I understand.
And I think that when you're here, it makes him sad.
And not just normal sad – really, really sad.
Yeah.
I don't want to see him that sad anymore.
So I'm gonna have to let you go, Madison.
OK.
What can I get you, Doc? Scotch.
Neat.
You got it.
OK, let me guess.
It's not a major holiday, so the in-laws aren't in town.
Uh, it's too late to be coming straight from the office, so, uh, I'm gonna go with parenthood sucks for a thousand.
Cancel that.
Oh, are we still doing this? Come on, don't go.
You're here for a reason.
Why don't you let me tell you how bad I screwed up with Ephram? It'll cheer you up and not only will you be able to mock my stupidity, but you'll probably say something very wise which I could use awith Ephram and pretend it was my idea.
It's win-win.
-Keep it.
-Thanks.
I really need your help here, Harold.
Just stay awhile, please.
I thought I made myself clear earlier, but it seems as though you've missed the point, so listen closely because I will not repeat myself again.
You and I are no longer associated.
All right.
You want me to apologize again, OK? I am sorry.
You really don't get it, do you? No, I don't.
This is what we do.
We joke.
We-we torment.
We-we argue.
It's the only exercise we get.
We've disagreed about cases before and we will again.
This-this was not a disagreement over medical care – over some-some case.
This was my daughter.
Harold, my obligation was to my patient.
I understand you had a choice to make, Andy.
Please respect that I have made one as well.
I called it in yesterday.
It should be ready.
Let me check.
Thanks.
Amy? Mrs.
Hart.
Hi.
How are you? Fine and you? How's school? Umm, it's going better.
I still have to call Laynie.
I haven't talked to her since we had that fight.
Oh, you and Laynie had a fight.
Yeah.
She didn't tell you about it? Maybe.
I don't remember.
I-I've just been so busy lately, you know, with the store and Jim.
She probably never mentioned it.
She likes to keep to herself.
She's a real independent girl.
Here you go, Amy.
You're all set.
Thank you.
Hi, Randy.
Three guesses.
Me and my Paxil are keeping Randy in business, aren't we? Well, I gotta go, but it was nice to see you, Mrs.
Hart.
You too.
You know, you look really great.
Thank you.
I feel not bad today anyways.
Guess, we'll just have to see how it goes tomorrow, right? I'll see you later.
Ahem.
May I help you? Umm, is this Dr.
Burdell's office? Yes, it is.
I'm Bright Abbott, I have an appointment.
Hey, what's going on? Where's? She's gone.
-Well, what about? -It's OK.
I'm teaching her.
Spit.
What did you do? Nothing.
This was all Delia.
Delia fired Madison.
She did.
Why? Wh-why would she do that? Apparently she didn't want to see you so sad anymore.
I owe you an apology, Ephram.
I never meant to sabotage thing between you and Madison.
I mean, I know you didn't.
And even though, it would be a lot easier to blame you for this whole thing falling apart, I, uh, I don't think I can.
Well, it'll never happen again.
I'll always talk to you first.
No more secrets, OK? I don't think you need to worry about it.
I probably won't get another girlfriend for 10, probably 20, years.
I just can't believe she's gone, you know.
It's weird.
You disappointed? Yeah, I mean, a little bit.
It wasn't perfect, but at least when she was here, I-I mean, I could sit next to her.
I could see her.
You know, there was always that possibility.
It's not like I was hoping to get back together with her, but I know – pathetic.
Nah, it's kinda human actually.
You know when I was a surgeon, I saw a lot of patients who knew that they didn't have much time left and I was always amazed at what they were willing to go through.
At how much pain they would endure, rather than simply letting go.
In the end, pain was always preferable to nothing.
I think it was that fear of taking the next step of the unknown that held them back – that made them willing to suffer so much.
Sometimes too willing, because in some cases, it really was time to move on.
Is that your not-so-subtle way of telling me to forget Madison? No, you're never going to forget her.
/Father, son/ /Love too strong/ /In this empty world,/ Keep it up.
Maybe next year.
/it's spine against spine/ /Till the warm comfort/ Well, you were right - total waste of time.
They won't accept me.
Then they're idiots.
So was I for not supporting you every step of the way.
You could do as well as anyone else here – better.
I doubt that.
You shouldn't.
Bright, I was proud of you for very tackle, every touchdown, every three-point shot.
I've never been prouder of you than I am right now.
It took courage to do what you did today.
Yeah, but, it-it didn't change anything .
I came this whole way for nothing.
No, you came for yourself - that's what matters.
You know, what you've done these past few months, your capacity to keep fighting, to keep trying to change – that is the measure of what makes someone great.
That's what makes you great.
I just – I don't know what I'm gonna do now, Dad.
What am I gonna do? Well, whatever you are meant to do or to be, it will reveal itself to you.
And we'll wait for that together, huh, you and me.
We just keep on running into each other.
Yeah, it's the weirdest thing.
I just – I-I found myself in your neighborhood at your front door.
It's so weird the way that happens.
I don't know.
No, it's OK.
This is just gonna take a second.
Listen, I'm sorry I didn't talk to you about Delia.
No, it's OK.
And just so you know, I'm not going to try to rehire you or get you back.
Are you sure that we can't do this inside? Yeah, uh, I think that we should do it here, not, before I can't do it at all.
You changed my life, Madison - everything about it.
I want you to know that.
You changed mine.
Yeah, maybe, but me – it's different.
Everything is different for me now.
Not just the obvious things – inside, you know.
I It's gonna take me a long time before I realize exactly what happened and why it had to fall apart, but hopefully when I do, you know, I'll remember and that way I can, you know, do it better next time.
I don't think that you could've done it any better, Ephram.
Yeah.
I think that we did it perfect.
Yeah, me too.
Well, maybe in a few weeks, we could do something.
Have one of those kick-off friendship lunches or something.
No.
No.
I, uh, I could never do the friend thing with you.
Let's face it, we were never really friends, we were just In love.
Yeah.
All right, I'm-I'm gonna walk back to my car right now and-and when I get there I'm gonna turn around and I'm gonna look back here and you're gonna be inside and that's gonna be that.
A heart is a fragile thing.
That's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely and why it means so much when we do.
Some hearts are more fragile than others.
Purer somehow.
Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful.
