Everwood s04e08 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on Everwood: AMY: You know about Reid.
EPHRAM: Yeah.
-I saw you guys the other night.
RElD: I like her.
But if you really want me to stop dating Amy, I will.
Okay.
Stop dating Amy.
I was calling to tell you to count me out for dinner.
Again? You promised you'd take on less at the office.
HANNAH: It's just that my mom has had so much to deal with by herself over the last two years.
I think it's time for me to go home.
-Nina, this thing is jammed up again.
-Yeah, it's been doing that.
-Why haven't we gotten a new one already? CLlFF: I see someone's got their cranky on.
-Cliff.
Hey, man.
-What's up? How are you? Hey, we're still on for tomorrow, right? -What's tomorrow? Hey.
CLlFF: Hey.
NlNA: Long time no see.
That's your boy's fault.
He keeps flaking on me.
-You too, huh? -No, not tomorrow, buddy.
I cleared my schedule weeks ago.
Cliff and I are riding down Mount Kinsey tomorrow.
This trail is supposed to be epic.
We're talking 300-foot exposures, rolling red-rock dunes, sudden drop-offs-- And not open to the public.
-What? -Not tomorrow, anyway.
There's a few kinks in the course.
-You wanna shoot for next weekend? -I can't next weekend.
I cleared tomorrow.
We'll figure something out.
You and me always preferred a pristine course anyway, right? -Hell, yeah, let's do it.
-Nice.
Pick you up at 6.
Nice to see you.
NlNA: Bye, Cliff.
JAKE: See you, man.
-Was that Cliff Fenton? -Yeah.
-Do you know him? HARRY: No, not personally.
No, the Pine Cone did an article on him in their Sunday supplement.
Rather reckless sort, isn't he? -You read the Sunday supplement? -I like the crossword.
We met at the Winter X Games.
We hook up when we can to ski or ride, depending on the weather.
Speaking of which we're biking down Mount Kinsey tomorrow if you guys are interested.
NlNA: Heh.
-What? -Nothing.
Well, that's very kind of you, but I'm afraid I'll have to pass.
It's pie night at the Abbott house.
I wouldn't wanna be late.
That's okay.
I figured you wouldn't wanna.
Andy, you up for a little adrenaline rush? I'd love to, but I've got surgery tomorrow.
Maybe another time.
[NlNA CHUCKLES.]
-What is so funny? -Nothing.
Nothing, I just-- -I better get going.
-Okay.
-Let me know if you change your mind.
-What about me? Yeah, let me know too, I'll hire a videographer for the occasion.
I might have changed my mind.
It has happened before.
I remember a specific incident in '82.
I was debating between rocky road and mint chip-- What's so funny about me riding down rough terrain? -Not like I haven't done that kind of thing.
-Of course you have.
Should I feel the need for speed, I will act on it accordingly.
Oh, we both will.
And it won't be riding some tricycle down a hill.
-No, you know it.
-Huh? -You really have pie night? -Oh.
[SPEAKS lN FRENCH.]
Rose's French apple, to die for.
Party at Sheridan, this weekend.
-Oh, sorry, I can't go.
-What? -No, I said, I can't go, but thanks.
-Whatever.
Keep that flier.
I'm getting paid 10 bucks to hand them out to hot babes.
-Sorry, man.
-Oh, hey.
Hey.
-How's it going? -Good, good.
Are you gonna go to that? I heard Sheridan's a pretty crazy dorm.
Oh, no, I can't.
I'm having my own party, actually.
Well, throwing one.
-You heard about Hannah, right? -Yeah, she's leaving town, right? Yeah, so we're having a surprise going-away party.
-You should come.
-Thanks, I totally would.
I should probably spend this weekend studying.
I knew med school was a ton of work, I just didn't realize it was gonna be insane.
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
Hey, but I gotta ask you, and I feel pretty stupid even bringing this up because we're kind of hanging out and being casual right now but we're not really hanging out and being casual anymore, are we? I mean, ever since we said we'd do that, we've barely seen each other.
Yeah.
-I know, I'm sorry, I just-- -You don't have to keep making excuses.
-lf you don't wanna go out with me-- -Hey, I swear, it's not that.
Well, then what is it? I think I just miscalculated, you know? I thought that I'd be able to handle dating and school but as it turns out, I'm not as smart as I thought that I was.
-Don't you hate it when that happens? -Yeah, I do.
I'm sorry.
-No, I know I already said that.
-Hey, I get it, it's cool.
It's fine.
Okay.
Have fun at your party.
-And I'll see you around, okay? -Okay, see you.
[BELL RlNGS.]
Can I just say that your daughter is a real angel? I'm really gonna miss her.
-Thank you.
-I'm gonna miss you too.
It just won't be the same making holiday popcorn balls without you.
I'll go get those records for you.
Oh.
-Hello, Hannah.
-Hey, Topher, how are you? I had the flu yesterday.
That's why I'm here, to get a re-admit slip.
Oh.
Uh.
This is my mom.
Mom, Topher.
-Hi, nice to meet you.
-You too.
So how are things with you and Bright? Still going strong, I assume.
-Yeah, yeah, it's good.
TOPHER: Yeah.
Well, actually, as long as I ran into you, I should let you know that I'm having a birthday party.
Bowling and ice cream, should be pretty rad.
If you guys wanna come.
That's sweet of you, but I won't be able to make it.
I'm sort of moving back to Minnesota.
-You're what? -Yeah, I'm going back with my mom.
We're actually leaving in a few days.
Forever? [SOFTLY.]
Oh.
Heh.
Heh.
Uh.
Are you okay? I'm fine.
Uh.
I'm just suddenly feeling uh, woozy again.
Uh.
So nice to meet you.
Interesting young man.
Yeah, he's a little weird.
He was kind of my boyfriend last year.
You had a boyfriend last year too? -You never told me.
-lt wasn't really a big deal.
I mean, we went on a couple dates, and it didn't work out.
But he did make me realize how much I liked Bright, so some good came out of it.
Okey-dokey, just some things for you to sign, sweetheart.
Sure I can't interest you in a peanut-butter sandwich dipped in cold tomato soup? It's the dipping that freaks people out.
Why must you dip? No, we're gonna go to this tapas place just outside of Denver.
I figure it may be my last chance to eat there for a while.
Haven't you guys been there? Yes, but only because Bright thought I said "topless.
" But I think he still liked it, didn't you? Yeah, yeah.
So should we go? -Poor guy.
He's taking it pretty hard, huh? -I know.
It just seems so sad, you know? It's like they finally got their moment and.
It's just really unfair, I think.
You need any help planning? You want me to call anybody or do anything? Sure, yeah.
Let me find my list of people.
Um.
-You all right? -Hmm? I just can't believe she's really leaving.
I understand why she's going and I know it's the right thing for her to do, but.
I just feel like I'm losing my best friend.
Who am I kidding? I'm losing my only friend.
-That's not true.
-I know you and I are friends, Ephram.
No, this is not about me, all right? I get that.
Don't worry.
It's just, Hannah's like the only significant person in my life right now.
I guess I didn't realize how much I'd been depending on her for, like, everything.
But I'm sure you've met some people at school, right? Well, that's the thing.
I tried to be all joinery at the beginning of the year and ended up going to these big mass-party things where no one would know or even care that I was there.
-Well, isn't that what all parties are like? -I guess.
I'm just used to being the one to throw the parties so usually I know everyone who's there.
[CHUCKLES.]
Is this how you've felt the entire time you've been in Everwood? No, no, I mean, I wouldn't blame it entirely on Everwood.
You know, I've been antisocial since the womb, so.
But it was easier when we were-- You know, when everything-- That was much easier.
Yeah, well, you know, it's always easier when you're a couple.
Hard part is becoming a couple, I guess.
Which is apparently gonna be impossible for me this year, so.
[SlGHS.]
Well, what about Reid? I mean, weren't--? -Aren't you guys? -That's not happening anymore.
I don't even know if it ever even did happen, you know? All I know is he will not be filling the Hannah void.
Not that anybody ever could.
I just finally felt like there was someone in the world who got me.
Now she's leaving, you know? [FOOTSTEPS.]
What time is it? Midnight? Five-thirty.
Bright and early.
Want something else to eat? I can make some eggs.
No, thank you.
I eat anything else, I'll end up seeing it at the bottom of the mountain.
-So you're really doing this, huh? -Yep.
Crazy, right? First day off in-- I can't even remember.
And this is how you choose to spend it.
Hey, you're the one who's been telling me that I've been working too hard that I need to take it easy, that I need to relax.
Relaxing? You're riding down some mountain no one else has tried yet.
-Even Cliff thinks it's crazy.
-No, he doesn't.
And, yes, physical exertion is relaxing to me.
It may not be to you.
Well, to tell you the truth, I was just kind of hoping you'd relax with me.
How many times have you blown me off this month? I would've gotten someone to cover for me at Sam's and you and l could've done something together.
Are you really mad about this? No, I'm not mad, I'm just worried.
You've lost the ability to slow down.
You're gonna give yourself a heart attack.
Now you're starting to sound like Edna, without the gravelly voice.
Okay.
I'm fine, don't worry.
I'll call you when we're done, okay? [DOOR OPENS.]
Shall we consult? Share our suggested feats of derring-do? -Go first.
-Alrighty.
Now, don't be alarmed by the criminal nature of this suggestion.
After all, it is merely a misdemeanor.
I propose that we shoplift chewing gum from Herb's General Store.
Herb's General Store? I have bungee jumping on my list and auto racing.
Well, don't get your beard in a bunch.
Merely number three of a list of many.
All right, okay, okay, here we go.
-Scuba diving more what you were thinking? -Yes, exactly.
Except not that.
I don't like jellyfish.
-What about rock climbing? -No, too much dirt under the fingernails.
-Skydiving? -Ooh.
Skydiving's good.
-You can't get any more extreme.
-lndeed you cannot.
And a nearly 100 percent survival rate.
Here's to hurling ourselves out of an airplane.
-Here's to hurling in general.
-Ow.
The problem is you're holding your hand up too high.
Try not to slap so hard next time.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
I'm pretty sure they have ketchup in Minnesota.
-Bright gave these to me.
-Yeah, flowers are way too predictable.
It was last year.
Long story.
-What are you doing here? -A person can't drop by unexpected? Well, some people can, but you're not really a dropper-byer, so.
You're right, you're right.
I think you should stay in Everwood.
You wanna get out before everybody has a chance to convince you otherwise.
-I know how that goes.
-Ephram-- Running away from your problems isn't gonna solve anything.
That is not what I'm doing.
I ran away when I came here.
There were things I couldn't deal with in Minnesota, so I just left.
Going home is the right thing for me to do.
My mom needs me now.
Yeah, I'm sure she does but, I mean, there's some people here who need you as well.
Bright will be fine.
I'm not talking about Bright, I'm talking about Amy.
Amy? She'd never want me to tell you so you can't tell her that it came from me, but she's devastated.
I mean, I haven't seen her like this in-- I mean, I don't even know when.
She's trying to act all happy and positive because she doesn't wanna burden anybody.
That's just how she is.
And the fact is, she needs you more than she lets on.
She would never ask you to stay, so somebody's got to.
I just can't stand to see her this sad.
Oh, Ephram.
What? You still love her.
Fact is, there's people here that care about you and I think you belong here.
You're a good guy, Ephram.
Just think about it.
[SlGHS.]
-Do you want some help with that? -Yeah, thanks.
I'm actually-- Ahem.
I'm feeling kind of pukey right now.
-Are you sick, sweetheart? -Maybe.
My chest is sore, I feel like lying down all the time and my head's kind of killing me.
Oh, let's see if you have a fever.
Oh.
Nope.
Really? I feel warm.
That's because you had your head in a pile of laundry.
No, I don't think you are sick, Bright, not technically.
You're just heartbroken.
Happens to everyone eventually.
-It's just your turn.
-Crap, really? Can't I just have whooping cough or something? It's perfectly understandable.
You're gonna miss Hannah.
We all are.
-Yeah, but it's more than that.
-How so? Well, everybody's gonna miss Hannah.
But, Mom, I'm gonna miss everything about her.
Not just the person, you know, that she is, but who I am when I'm with her.
-Okay.
-You know, she makes things better.
She makes me better.
Without her, I'm gonna go back to doing the same stupid stuff I was before.
You're not a rubber band, you're not gonna snap back.
We don't know that.
I've been an ass-hat the majority of my life.
The odds are, I'm gonna convert back to that.
Revert.
Converting would make ass-hat a religion.
I don't know why you're acting as though it's over.
People do have long-distance relationships.
Your father and I did.
-Really? -Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I stayed here in Everwood for your father's first year of residency.
It wasn't easy.
We talked on the phone, I made trips to see him.
We just made it work.
And if you want this, you can make it work too.
You think so? I've seen what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know what? You're right.
I could totally do this.
Maybe I can even take extra credits and transfer to whatever college she ends up at.
There's plenty of time to figure that out.
Tell me what you're planning for Hannah's last night.
Gonna take her somewhere special after the party? Well, I figured that the party's gonna suck and afterwards, we're gonna be depressed and crying.
Oh, you can do better.
[JAKE SlGHlNG.]
-You gonna be this much fun all day? -I know, I know, I'm sorry.
It's just, Nina and I had a thing this morning.
-I think she's pissed off.
-What about? -Come on, man, the love doctor is in.
-You're an idiot.
No, it's nothing.
She just-- I think she wanted me to spend my day off with her.
That's all? She'll live.
Now I know why you're single.
It's more than just that, though.
She been all over me about working too much.
She thinks I should slow down a little, spend some more time at home.
That's why I'm single.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, maybe she's right.
I have been going a million miles an hour at work.
And the truth is, she's not the only one who's been on my case about it.
Seems like everybody's pissed off or worried about me or something.
Blah, blah.
Who cares? Look, man, you wanna live some B.
S.
suburban concept of life or you wanna frigging grab it by the nuts and shake it? Seriously, man, there's no reason you can't go after what you want.
You wanna make your business huge, do it.
Get your own clinics all over the country.
You're right, man.
You're totally right, and I know that.
I just.
I think I needed to hear it from someone else to know I wasn't crazy.
Whoa.
[JAKE CHUCKLES.]
-That looks pretty intense.
-Yep.
No turning back now.
See you at the bottom.
[GRUNTlNG.]
Cliff? Hey, maybe you could get these for Nina.
Everybody needs sunglasses.
Looking for something more personal.
Something that says, "Thank you for providing me with food, shelter and love" but doesn't cost more than 30 bucks.
Hey, so you have plans for your last night? I was thinking of a few places we could go.
Or we could just go see a movie, but it's totally up to you.
Well, if it's totally up to me, I can tell you one thing I really don't wanna do and that's go to a surprise party in my honor.
Don't even try and deny you're planning one.
-I'm gonna kill Bright.
-Bright didn't say anything.
I know you.
There hasn't been an event you haven't wanted to throw a party for.
You wanted to surprise me when I blew out my hair.
-That was a huge moment.
-Yeah.
And I bet you've already made five CD mixes and put together a slide show on your Mac.
Wow, I guess I won't turn into my mother since I've already turned into my father.
I love that you wanna do this, but honestly, I think it'd just be too hard for me.
Would you hate me forever if I asked you to cancel it? No, I understand.
But you can't leave without fanfare.
Abbotts need fanfare, it's our closure.
You and I don't need any closure.
We're gonna be friends forever.
-I know.
-Know what I wanna happen tomorrow? I want you to go out.
Find some college party and go crazy.
You wanna go to a kegger on your last night? No, no, I want you to go to one, without me.
No.
I'm serious, Amy.
You gotta get out there, meet some new people.
Yeah, I tried that, and you know what? New people suck.
Yeah, okay, I thought that too till I met you.
All bossy and driven and there for me all the time.
I mean, Amy, what you gave me I could never find a gift big enough to repay you.
-You don't have to get me anything.
-Don't worry, I didn't.
You're such a great friend, you know? And not just to me, to everyone.
And I've been selfish, keeping you to myself because I thought I'd lose you to college and all that.
But now I know you, I'm never gonna lose you.
You being in college, my being in Minnesota, it's not gonna change us.
Nothing will.
So you just-- You get out there and you show all these new people how great you are.
You just get out there and wow them.
Now you sound like my dad.
I know.
"Wow them?" What am l, like 40? [CHUCKLlNG.]
JAKE: Cliff.
Hey.
You okay? Cliff, can you hear me? All right, hang in there, buddy.
Hello? Can anybody hear me up there? We need help down here! All right.
All right, buddy.
Hang in there.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
-ls that a parachute? -Yep.
And you're putting that in your car because? Orientation today.
Harold and I are going skydiving tomorrow.
Don't look so shocked.
Just a facet of my personality you've never seen.
-ls that so? -Yes, that is so.
You know what my nickname was in college? -Uh.
Crazy Andy? -No, but that would've made more sense.
Jake's not the only one who likes to live life on the edge.
-Andy-- -As a matter of fact, where is Jake? -Maybe he'd like to go with us tomorrow.
-I doubt it.
He's at the hospital.
-Working? -No, it's his friend.
Remember Cliff? -The mountain-biking guy.
What happened? -He crashed on the way down.
Got a bad concussion.
His body's all twisted up.
They operated on him yesterday, but he hasn't opened his eyes yet.
I'm sorry, Nin.
-lf there's anything I can do-- -Actually, you could do me one favor.
Sure.
Can't you just buy a car or date a 21-year-old? -What are you talking about? -Have a midlife crisis like a normal guy.
You can forget about the airplane thing and whatever other ideas you have planned.
I don't wanna have to worry you're riding a unicycle on a tightrope.
You may not believe this, but I used to do these things all the time.
I actually owned a motorcycle.
Well, I guess I'm glad I didn't know you then.
One of my favorite things about you is that you don't have that extra machismo that makes men do dumb-ass things.
You don't have anything to prove.
Or at least I thought you didn't.
Even if you were that guy before, you can't be him now because you have two kids who need you.
And I need you around too.
So if you don't mind, could you just be a little less reckless for me? -I'll talk to Harold.
-Thank you.
So, what was your nickname in college? Wouldn't you like to know? [CHUCKLES.]
Sorry I'm late.
Couldn't be helped.
Just give me five minutes and we'll get started, okay? You look like you just got run over by a truck.
Well, that's good, because I feel a lot worse.
-No change on your friend? -He's out of surgery but hasn't woken up.
Go back to the hospital.
I can cancel your day.
No, we can't.
We already canceled yesterday.
Can't keep patients waiting indefinitely.
We got a business to run.
-Had anything to eat? Want me to run out--? -Look, I'm fine.
Let's try and move as quick as we can so when the hospital calls, I can get out.
Did they say anything about his prognosis? They must have some idea.
Yeah, his prognosis is crap, Edna.
Most likely, Cliff's never gonna walk again.
Well, at least he'll breathe again, and he owes that to you.
You got him off that mountain.
Yeah.
Listen, doc.
You've been through something pretty traumatic, and I think you should-- Look, Edna, I'm fine, okay? I don't need a therapy session right now.
What I need is for you to bring the first patient in, okay? [SlGHS.]
-Dr.
Abbott? -Ah.
-One hundred percent wind-resistant.
-Oh, okay.
I got you something, Kind of a goodbye-slash-thank-you present.
Hannah.
Of course you know that this gesture's completely unnecessary.
Having you around this past year has been gift enough.
In fact-- Oh, mother of pearl.
Oh.
A lovely terra cotta-colored sweater vest? Do you realize I have this exact article in pine and heather charcoal? I know.
This one just came out.
Figured you'd go buy it for yourself, so I had to move quick.
[CHUCKLES.]
-Oh, good Lord.
-What? Oh, it's nothing.
I am leaving soon, Dr.
Abbott.
This may be your last opportunity to take advantage of my 17-year-old smarts.
Tell me something, Hannah.
How long did you labor over what gift to purchase for me? Not long at all.
Yours was the easiest one to come up with.
Exactly.
I am as predictable as the fine stitching on this lambswool cashmere blend.
-And don't try to argue with me.
-I wasn't going to.
You are predictable, Dr.
Abbott, but that's what's so great about you.
-At least, I think so.
-So you enjoy my constant tedium, do you? Well, I like to think of it as reliability.
You're always there, not just for me, either, but for everyone.
We all count on you.
Don't you know that? Well.
You know what I know? You have brought a world of joy into the Abbott household which will never be forgotten.
And not just for my children, I'm talking about for Rose and for myself.
You feel like one of our own.
We will miss you dearly.
[VOlCE BREAKlNG.]
Dr.
Abbott.
Oh.
Don't leave us, Hannah.
Don't leave us.
AMY: Can't believe Hannah talked me into this.
I can't believe this was Hannah's idea.
Doesn't she have some moral objection against parties? Bright's had more of an impact on her than we realized, which is just scary.
But thank you for coming.
Don't think I could've gone in by myself.
I love this sort of thing.
Gives me a chance to say inappropriate things to people I'll never see again.
Oh, nice, just make sure they're not people that I wanna actually be friends with.
-How do I look? -You look beautiful.
Okay, let's do this thing.
Let me know when you want me to take off.
-I don't wanna crowd you one bit.
-Whoa, wait.
No, no, you gotta stay beside me all night.
I need my wingman.
-What, chicks have those too? -Of course.
We just use them for less disgusting reasons than guys do.
Well, if that's what you want, then I'm not going anywhere.
That's what I want.
Are we going to that French restaurant? I've always wanted to try frogs' legs.
Not tonight.
-A movie? -Think I would wear a suit to the movies? But if I guess it, do you promise to tell me if I'm right? -Mm.
Nope.
-This is so unfair.
Stop smirking.
How'd you know I was smir? Never mind.
HANNAH: We're at school.
BRlGHT: Come on.
Hannah Rogers, welcome to your senior prom.
Oh, my gosh.
BRlGHT: Hmm? Hmm? I know it's not the same as the real deal, but I didn't wanna wait.
I know you're gonna have a prom in Minnesota.
I am definitely taking you to that one, but I wanted you to have the real one you know, at our school, in Everwood.
Do you like it? We can go somewhere else if you don't.
-I love it.
-Yeah? [LAUGHlNG.]
Come here.
Your chair, my lady.
-To not jumping out of an airplane.
-Oh, ho.
-Hear, hear.
ANDY: Hear, hear.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
BRlGHT: I hope you don't think I voted you prom queen because you were the only girl.
HANNAH: I know, you like a girl in a tiara.
-Hey, who doesn't? Thank you so much for my prom.
This whole night was just so much more than I expected or even thought I could expect, if that makes any sense.
You can expect this from me all the time.
Just so you know, I'm full of genius.
I know you are.
I'm planning on taking you to the airport so we don't have to do the heavy goodbye thing right now, okay? Hannah? I think we should do it now.
The whole goodbye thing.
[SlGHS.]
And the whole breakup thing too.
What? -I think we have to break up, Bright.
-What are you talking about? No, we don't.
-Yes, we do.
-No.
I wanna keep us like this forever, the way we're feeling right now.
I wanna freeze it and save it.
But if we try and stay together while you are here and I'm there, I just-- -I think it'll be too hard.
-No, it won't be.
Trust me, okay? I've thought about it.
I'll come visit you, call all the time.
Then real life will get in the way and we'll stop visiting and calling each other as much.
And then all we'll ever feel about each other is sad or hurt or disappointment.
I would never hurt you.
No, I know you would never want to, and neither would l but distance just changes things.
I don't know, maybe I'm being a coward but I really don't wanna risk losing this perfect feeling.
-But-- -It's.
It's the only perfectness I've ever had in my whole life.
And you gave it to me.
Hannah-- And no matter what happens after tomorrow, you just-- You need to know that tonight will always be my most favorite night ever, okay? I just-- I really love you, Bright.
Hannah.
[SOBBlNG.]
[BEEPlNG.]
Hey, buddy.
How you feeling? This room's frigging depressing.
I almost threw my strawberry Jell-O on the wall just to get some color on it.
I can't believe this is happening.
I can't even imagine what you're feeling right now, Cliff.
I tell you, not a lot of anything from here all the way down.
I know.
And I'm so sorry.
-I don't know what to say.
-There's nothing to say.
I'm paralyzed, man.
The rest of my life, I'm not gonna have any feeling in my legs.
I can't ski, can't run, can't even walk.
I'm gonna be wasting away in a wheelchair like a frigging cripple until I die.
-I just wish.
-You just wish what? What--? You--? What can I do for you? Seriously, anything.
Nothing.
I just wish we'd waited till next weekend, you know? You should've left me there.
[SlGHS.]
I'm so sorry, Cliff.
You're right, we should've waited.
Listen, I'm gonna talk to my friend Andy.
He's a neurosurgeon.
He's worked on a ton of spinal cases, and this guy performs miracles.
I don't believe in miracles.
I just want my legs back, man.
I just wanna feel my legs.
I know you do.
You ever hear of the Muddy Buddy race? Six-mile course, race it with a partner.
One guy bikes while the other one runs, trade off for the second stage.
It's five stages long and you keep switching back and forth until the end.
They set up all these obstacles, you know, just to make it miserable for you.
And you end up in this giant mud pit.
I was gonna ask you to be my partner next year.
Guess that's shot to hell, huh? NURSE: Ready for your pain meds, Mr.
Fenton? It's about time.
I just wanna be numb.
I don't wanna feel this.
I don't wanna feel any of this.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
I do.
I'd stay away from that brand if I were you.
Very nonstick.
Hello, Harold.
So do you realize that at this very moment, we could've been spiraling towards Earth praying to God that our parachutes would open? -Here we are shopping.
-Yeah.
-Not the same level of excitement, is it? -No, perhaps not.
But l, for one, am thrilled that we came to our senses.
Although the idea of infusing a bit of danger into the ennui that is our daily routine does still titillate.
-Oh, I'm sure we'll think of something.
-Yeah.
You remember number three on the list? You're not suggesting what I think you're suggesting.
-The heist.
-The heist.
-The big one.
-The big one.
Oh, sweet Betsy.
-Juicy Fruit.
-Mm-hm.
Well? Come on, Harold.
Don't let me down.
This is the heist of a lifetime.
[CLANGlNG.]
Go, go, go! Just put that gum on my tab, will you? [SOBS.]
All packed and ready to go.
How much longer till we leave for the airport? About an hour.
But first I wanna ask you something.
What's up? What would you think about staying in Everwood and finishing out the school year? -What? -I've been thinking about it and it makes the most sense, don't you think? You'll be graduating in six months, and then you'll be going off to college.
I don't see the point in tearing you away from your friends.
-I know what you're doing.
-And I know what you're doing.
And guess what.
I'm the parent, and you're the teenager.
I get to be the martyr, and you get to be self-centered.
But I've already been that.
You know, I want what's best for you.
Your happiness is what's best for me, Hannah.
And you are so happy here.
And so grown up.
It makes my heart burst.
I mean, I look at you and I ask myself how this beautiful, together young woman could be the same girl who wouldn't let go of my leg in second grade.
Boy, you wrapped your arms around me so tight I had to peel your hands off to get you to let go.
But, Mom, I miss you too.
I don't wanna spend another six months away from you.
No, I'll visit.
A lot.
And you can come home whenever you want.
Take some long weekends.
Bring Bright.
Oh, my gosh, he would die to see the house.
-We don't even have a TV.
-Well, maybe I'll get one.
We'll see.
It's a whole new world, Hannah Bear, for both of us.
-Are you sure about this? -Positive.
And you know what? It's what your dad would've wanted too.
I love you, Mom.
I love you more.
All right.
Just.
Do you mind? -Go ahead.
-Okay.
Bright? It's me.
Guess what.
I'm out of here.
Are you coming, doc? Uh.
Got a few more hours.
-Well, I can stay if you need me.
-No, thanks.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Oh, how'd it go with Cliff? You were right.
He thanked me.
I knew he would.
I told you, you're a hero, doc.
