ANNOUNCER:
Previously on Everwood.

Last Fourth of July they decided
to go for a joyride.

Colin drove.

There was an accident,
Bright thrown from the vehicle.

He doesn´t remember
what happened.

She´s still pretty wrapped
up in her boyfriend...

...the one in the coma.

She asked me to ask you
to take a look at him.

I can´t remember
the last time someone...

...said no when Dr. Brown
offered his help.

Colin´s surgery´s
a done deal.

You´re the last stop
for us, Dr. Brown.

What do you think we should do?

I can´t tell you what to do.

-What if it were your son?
-Your father turned them down.

He´s never turned anyone down,
met long odds he didn´t like.

You owe it to this kid.
To perform whatever miracle...

...you´ve got up your sleeve.
Hell, you owe it to me.

It was easier when I didn´t know
so much about my patients.

When I didn´t care.

You moved here to be
a father. And a doctor.

Just didn´t know
it would be so hard.

Welcome to
the human race, Dr. Brown.

IRV:
Every small town worth its salt
has a place like this.

A place where
the landscape invites us...

...to blend in for a while.

Ours is called Buck´s Rock.

It´s been graced with
its own heavenly light that...

...for most people...

...eliminates any and all doubt
of a higher power.

The purpose of Buck´s Rock
is quite familiar.

It´s a place where
the lazy days...

...of childhood play
themselves out.

A place free from the
responsibilities of adult life.

A place of innocence.

[CHEERS]

COLIN:
And with that seamless dive...

...the young American
from Everwood, Colorado...

...catapults himself
into medal position.

Oh, your toes were curled, bro.
Five point five.

Let´s not even talk about your
entry splash. Four point two.

The Russian judge gave me a six.

Yeah, well, everyone knows
Unga´s got a thing for you.

Yeah, well. Too bad Unga´s
feelings are unrequited.

[AMY CHUCKLES]

-Ah!
-You´re next, Grover.

-In a little bit.
-Oh.

-You´re so full of it.
-When you gonna realize...

...my baby sister doesn´t share
our sense of adventure?

[BRIGHT CHEERS]

[CHEERS]

Good one, bro.

If I ask you a girl question,
will you promise not to laugh?

No.

[AMY CHUCKLES]

What were you just thinking,
just then, you had this look.

I was just thinking
about the fireworks...

...we saw in Mr. Nole´s
driveway earlier.

The ones he´s
shooting off tonight.

-Must have cost a fortune.
-Ah.

I can´t think about you every
second of every day, Grover.

I mean, sometimes I
gotta take time...

...to think about
normal guy things...

...like trucks, electronics...

...Katie Holmes.

I get the idea.

Alright, maybe it wasn´t
just the fireworks.

Go on.

I was just thinking about us
watching them go off last year.

And?

I just hoped that
they would keep going.

With your hand
just touching mine...

...just like that.

And then it was over.

[COLIN LAUGHS]

AMY:
What are you doing?

What is that?

Colin, that´s
my confirmation cross.

-Come and get it.
-If you drop it...

I will never forgive you.

-I said, come and get it.
-Colin....

-Come on.
-Colin.

Ready?

[BOTH LAUGH]

BOTH:
One, two, three.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I love you.

ANDY:
The bone fragment
is located in the brain stem...

...mission control
for vital function.

Its placement necessitates
an extreme level...

...of caution during
the procedure.

The procedure will
take eight hours...

...assuming there are
no complications.

And I know you´re
both aware of what...

...those complications
might be.

-We are.
-Mm.

I´ve got my old assisting
surgeon flying in from New York.

He´s the best there is.

We´ll start prepping
Colin at 9 a.m.

What´s the chance my son
won´t survive the surgery?

It´s a high-risk procedure.

There are no odds that I can
give and even if there were...

...I´m not sure they´d provide
you with much comfort.

I need something.

Colin made a mistake
when he drove that day...

...and he´s paid
a horrible price.

I don´t wanna be responsible
for making him worse.

Mrs. Hart, Colin´s been in
a coma for over four months.

That´s beyond the timeframe
where a recovery is likely.

The only assurance I
can give you is this...

...I´ve performed
over 2600 surgeries...

...and I have never had one...

...where I cared more
about the outcome.

You let a guy who´s never
been out of New York drive...

...a car in the wilderness.

It´s Uncle Brian,
not Woody Allen.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

He´s here, he´s here.

-Uncle Brian!
-Ah. Come here, girl. Ah.

Gentlemen and lady...

...worship me, for I have
brought unto you New York City.

Did you leave any
for the New Yorkers?

Nope. Let´s see.

I´ve got two bags of H&H Bagels,
some Ray´s Pizza...

...all eight slices
individually wrapped for travel.

No need to thank me.

-Zabar´s Special Blend.
-Oh, yeah.

Yonah Schimmel knishes, and a
Brooklyn Cyclones hat for Delia.

Who are they?

The minor league team
that plays on Coney Island. Duh.

For a while I
thought I was upset...

...´cause I missed New York now
I finally know true despair.

Despair´s right up your alley.
You´re a musician.

Not really these days.

You hear what I brought, you´re
gonna rededicate yourself.

Bill Evans, vinyl,
that´ll change your life, man.

Sweet. Thanks.

Boss, I can´t believe it.

What´s it been since
we stood over an open skull?

Long enough to blot out some of
your more colorful expressions.

Tomorrow, once again,
we´ll hear the sweet sound...

...of that drill digging away.

Let´s save the shop talk
for after dinner.

-Did you eat? You hungry?
-Yes and yes.

Start shoveling
whatever you got on my plate.

Ephram, you come outside
and help me.

More bags?

I can´t get the car
to turn off.

The television fanatics
will be happy to know...

...that I have relented and
purchased the satellite dish...

...which you have
been clamoring for.

I´m picking it up from Herb´s
Discounts tomorrow morning.

Please, hold your applause.

That´s great, Dad.

Over three hundred channels.

We can watch Jeopardy
in Korean, if we wish.

ROSE:
Why are you
picking up the dish?

Why isn´t one of Herbert´s boys
coming to install it?

I possess two university degrees
and a Mensa membership, Rose...

...I do not need to pay
some tool-belted ignoramus...

...50 of
my hard-earned dollars...

...to hook a piece
of plastic up to the house.

Pass the carrots.

I wanna spend the day in Denver
tomorrow, at the hospital.

-If that´s alright with you.
-I assumed you would.

I´m gonna keep an eye on Harts´
store, your dad´s on call...

...so you should ride
with your brother.

I´m not going.

What do you mean,
you´re not going?

Uh, I´m not going?

-Figures.
-Amy.

No, I´m sick of this.
Colin´s your best friend...

...you´re not even gonna be
there for the surgery.

You´re doing fine with
this whole martyr thing...

...you can handle it without me.

-I´ll be in my room.
-Bright, get back here--

Harold, just leave him,
he´s just scared about tomorrow.

There is a reason
men don´t wear ruffles.

It´s not that bad.

If this were 1775,
you´d be a total chick magnet.

-You´re not helping.
-I´m not?

Are you sure about that?

-Oh. Where´d you swipe this?
-Dad´s liquor cabinet.

Crown Royal he got from a client
last year and trust me...

...if he knew you´re
gonna stand in front

of the town wearing that
he´d want you to have it.

Slow down, man, it´s supposed
to last all day.

[BRIGHT COUGHS]

Well, I don´t know
if I´ll last all day.

[COLIN LAUGHS]

Careful, you don´t wanna ruin
that pretty outfit, do you?

Let´s get moving, people.

Hey, Dr. Abbott.
You´re looking revolutionary.

-Thank you, Colin.
-Hey, very cool.

Kentucky long rifle, right?

Curly maple,
if I´m not mistaken.

HARRY:
Indeed.

You know a thing
about vintage weaponry.

I´ve done some reading.

It´s not every day that our
family gets honored...

...by this community. I wanted
to make the most of it.

This is an honor.

City council chose us
to represent this entire town...

...on this year´s Fourth
of July assembly, know why?

You told them
you´d pay for the costumes?

Because we, the Abbotts,
represent everything...

...people in this community
wish they were.

We command respect from our
neighbors. They look up to us.

You have a run
in your stocking.

HARRY: Huh?

Don´t forget to
take your scroll.

I don´t need
the scroll, Rose...

...I´ve the thing memorized,
of course.

My father was crier, they talked
about it for weeks.

You think he used a scroll?

If the British knew
they were losing you...

...they would´ve fought harder.

Let´s get going, people...

...we don´t wanna keep
our public waiting.

Depending on how many people...

...you think I could borrow
that rifle to shoot myself?

[SIGHS]

The accident happened
on the Fourth of July.

Truck overturned and Colin
and his passenger...

...were both thrown
from the truck.

Passenger got by
with minor injuries...

...doesn´t remember a thing.

Colin, as you can imagine,
didn´t fare as well.

His ICP´s been well-managed,
but nothing´s changed.

So tomorrow we get
to climb Mount Everest.

Just about.

Paul Yates performed
a double aneurysm last week.

Paul Yates?
That lifetime minor leaguer?

You´re not there anymore, Andy,
people had to step up.

Check this out.
He was pressed for time--

Problems
with cerebral profusion.

Close, Hairspray tickets.

The guy´s totally deranged.

He wants to be you.

Hell, I wouldn´t mind being you,
minus the beard.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Being me is not all it´s cracked
up to be these days.

Come on, can´t be all that bad.

-How are the kids doing?
-Well, Delia´s adjusting well.

-She´s a trooper.
-And Ephram?

Ephram would hate
me in every one...

...of the 48
contiguous states...

...plus Hawaii and Alaska,
so we might as well be here.

[BRIAN LAUGHS]

About tomorrow, boss.
What´s the deal?

We´ll take a lateral
peripetrosal skull base...

...to the brain stem. There´ll
be parenchyma swelling.

Hopefully the surrounding
vessels won´t be spasmodic.

I was wondering, though,
why I´m here.

I´m flattered you wanted me,
but the team was available.

I checked around, Lethem´s tops,
so is Murdoch.

I thought it´d be good
to have a familiar...

...and trusted face
in the room.

And, uh, to be honest
with you, I, uh....

I have a slight case
of performance jitters.

You´ve been dormant,
it´s normal.

Anyway...

...I´m gonna rely
on you more than usual...

...if we have a shot--

If? A shot?

Boss, you´re talking
like you´ve never done this.

Well, I haven´t, not
this exact surgery.

Like there´s any
order of difficulty...

...in the miracles
you´ve performed?

Well, I´m
a different person now.

-I may just be out of miracles.
-No, you´re not.

And how do you know?

Before you took me
under your wing, Andy...

...I never believed
there were people...

..put on this Earth
to fix God´s mistakes.

That´s the sort of gift
that doesn´t go away.

Sleep easy, Dr. Brown.

You´re gonna be great.

[SIGHS]

♫ I´m alone but
I know just why ♫

No, no, that´s not
how we do it.

Sorry, I forgot.

-Towel, nurse.
-Ha, ha.

Thank you.

I don´t think I´m gonna be
a brain surgeon when I grow up.

-No? Why not?
-Well, for one thing...

...you have to wake up early,
even on Saturday.

Yeah, that can
be a drawback.

I´m probably gonna
be a tap dancer.

Thought you´re
gonna be a fireman.

I´m gonna do that too.
During the day.

Oh. Brush?

-Dad?
-Huh?

Are you gonna have to work at
the hospital all the time again?

-No, honey, just today.
-Good.

I don´t use that one anymore.

Go wake Uncle Brian, okay?

Uncle Brian.

You have to go do brain surgery.

-Grr!
-Aah!

I´ve still got time
for a tickle-ectomy.

Ha, ha!

[DELIA SHRIEKS THEN LAUGHS]

Butter or cream cheese?

Ephram, you didn´t
have to do all this.

I was up.

Well, cream cheese
would be great.

Morning.

Oh, ha, ha. Man,
you brought them.

There was this invention
a couple years ago...

...it was called the CD player?

-You should check it out.
-Hey, these are the mix tapes...

...your mom made
for our surgeries.

She´d figure out songs
to pick based on the kind...

...of surgery we were doing.

For instance, Glioma ´97 has an
upbeat, Motown kind of a feel.

Whereas Triple Aneurysm ´99
is more of...

...an
angry-lesbian-with-a-guitar mix.

And here is
my personal favorite...

...Middle Fossa Skull
Base Tumor 2000.

Which one you want for today?

I don´t know, why don´t we pick
one on the way down.

Here. Add this
to your collection.

-You made this?
-No big deal.

I was fiddling
around with iTunes.

I´m going back to bed.

Mix CDs.

-Whole new world, man.
-Yes, it is.

He can´t hate you
all that much.

[HARRY MUTTERING]

Ah. That was easy enough.

Oh.

Lord.

BRIGHT:
I´m out.

Uh, wait, Bright,
come here a sec.

I don´t really feel
like talking to anybody.

No, no, no, I
wanna tell you something.

It´s about Dr. Brown.

He´s the axis
of evil. I know.

Yes, he is, but he´s also
an unbelievable surgeon.

If he wasn´t so annoying...

...in every single aspect
of his existence...

...I´d say we were lucky
to have him.

-What´s your point?
-Bright.

-Colin is in good hands.
-I don´t wanna talk.

-I understand--
-You don´t understand.

Forget it, I´ll be
back in a few hours.

Bright.

[PHONE RINGING]

-Hello.
AMY: Hey.

Ephram, it´s Amy.

Hey, hey, are you alright?
Are you at the hospital already?

Yeah. But nothing´s
happening yet.

I guess they´re prepping him or
something. Whatever that means.

Probably shaving his head.

Or, you know....

I don´t know
what I´m talking about.

So, what are you up today,
anything fun?

Uh, not really, you know, gonna
finish some math homework...

...read a couple comics,
eat lunch...

...I´m falling asleep
just listening to myself.

Sounds kind of nice to me.

You doing okay?

Honestly, I don´t know.

But this is what I´ve
been waiting for...

...so it´s
a good thing, right?

Yeah...

...I guess.

Anyways, I should probably go.

Wait, wait, wait, I--

It´s okay, I should
stay close to the O.R...

...in case there´s any news.

Just wanted to touch base
with normal.

You definitely called
the wrong person for that.

-I´ll talk to you later, Ephram.
-Amy, Amy--

Amy Abbott, please
report to the stage.

-Dad, your mic´s not working.
HARRY: Lord.

Help me, your mother´s
out there kissing babies...

...like it´s Election Day, your
brother´s missing in action.

I cannot locate
the orchestra´s conductor.

We need to establish a signal...

...so that they know
when to start playing...

...the timing is crucial.

Dad, it´s not an orchestra.
It´s the school band...

...and your
conductor is Mr. Mendick...

...who´s inhaling
a corn dog over there.

Alright. Thank you, thank you.
Uh, go find your brother.

Are we on? Hello.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

-What are you guys doing?
-Hey, Grover.

My dad´s waiting
for us, we have to go.

You´re gonna
be busted for that.

-Why, who´s gonna tell?
-He´s gonna smell it.

Oh, your brother´s had,
like, 7000 breath mints.

It was my idea, I
thought it would be good...

...to give him
some liquid courage.

Why? He´s not making
the speech.

I´m wearing tights,
isn´t that enough?

Let´s go before I tell Dad.

Don´t you even care
that we´re fighting?

I didn´t know we
were fighting.

How could you not--?
You know what?

-Fine, forget it.
-No, wait.

I´m sorry.

What for? You didn´t
know we´re fighting.

I am sorry for whatever I did
that pissed you off.

It´s because of earlier.

When you said what you said
at Buck´s Rock...

...and I didn´t say
what I should´ve said back.

You didn´t have to say
anything back, I´m just...

...hurt that you didn´t.

-Don´t take it the wrong way.
-How am I supposed to take it?

It´s the first time I´ve ever--

It´s the first time
I´ve ever said that...

...to someone I
wasn´t related to.

It just took me
by surprise, that´s all.

Me too.

You are the longest relationship
I have ever had, Amy.

You´re my girl.

You wanna go watch the fireworks
together later?

I guess. I gotta go.

Aren´t you
gonna kiss me goodbye?

I´m late.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hey, I, uh, made some snacks
for the munchkins.

I thought I´d
bring you some too.

Thank you.

Um....

I hope Delia
isn´t too much trouble.

What, are you kidding?
Sam´s in his glory.

She made a pillow fort.

They´re defending the living
room against mutant raptors.

[CHUCKLES]

-Um, any word from your dad yet?
-Uh, not yet...

...but these things usually
take, like, 10 hours.

Oh. I guess you must be pretty
used to this, though, huh?

Kind of, although I don´t
usually know the person, so...

...uh, it´s a little different.

-You know Colin?
-Amy.

Amy Abbott. Yeah, friend
of mine from school.

She´s a sweet girl, she
baby-sits for Sam sometimes.

So, what´s he like? Colin.

Oh.

He´s a charmer.

He´s the kind who forgets
to mow your lawn two weeks...

...then when he comes,
you end up paying him for three.

I think he
was all-state football...

...and he´s pretty smart too.

So he´s basically like God.

No, you´d like him.
He´d like you too.

Oh, thanks.

Um, how is Amy holding up?

I don´t know. I mean...

...she sounded a little weird
on the phone earlier, but....

She probably could
use a friend right now.

Well, I don´t know if I´m
the best person for that.

Why is that?

Let´s just say
there´s some issues.

Like?

Like I think she´s amazing
and beautiful...

...and completely
outta my league. She agrees.

If she wanted me at the
hospital, she could have asked.

Could she have?

If going to
the hospital is something...

...that you think you
can handle, then go.

Chances are she probably really
wants you there...

...but she just doesn´t feel
like she has the right to ask.

If you don´t wanna
go, that´s okay too.

You don´t have to
be the best friend...

...that helps her
get through this.

You just have to decide what
kind of friend you wanna be.

I forgot how good
women are at this stuff.

[CHUCKLES]

HARRY:
As free
and independent states...

...they have full power
to levy war...

...conclude peace,
contract alliances...

...establish commerce and to do
all other acts and things...

...which independent states
may of right do.

And for the support
of this declaration....

[BAND PLAYING
MARCHING MUSIC]

No, Mr. Mendick.

Mr. Mendick, no,
that was not the signal.

-We haven´t finished.
-Dad. Dad, its okay.

No one was listening anyways.

Hey, Johnny Tremaine,
you wanna see something...

...that´ll knock
your pantaloons off?

Sweet, is this
your dad´s new truck?

He doesn´t know jack.

If this was mine,
I would spike the tires...

...get a Marlin Crawler
short-change shifter at minimum.

[VEHICLE APPROACHES]

Nice truck, Hart.
Too bad it´s your daddy´s.

Whatever, McNally. Like I can´t
drive this whenever I want.

Oh, I´m sure you can.

Your brother there
is still the kid...

...who threw up on the DMV guy
during his driving test.

[BRIGHT LAUGHS]

We´re going to Miller´s Field
for some off-roading. You´ll in?

Hell, yeah, we´ll see you in 20.

-Dude, what about your dad?
-We´ll be back before fireworks.

He´ll never even know
the difference.

-On one condition.
-What?

-Take me home to change first?
-Ha-ha-ha!

[ENGINE STARTS]

[EKG BEEPING]

[JAZZ BALLAD PLAYING
ON STEREO]

♫ I´ve got you ♫

ANDY:
That´s my boy.

♫ I´ve got you ♫

♫ Deep in the heart of me ♫

We´ve created a bone flap
and we´ve retracted the dura...

Bring the scope in, please.

Now...

...according to the films...

...the chip should be right
in the center of the field.

I don´t believe it.

-What´s up?
ANDY: There´s a second chip.

Are you sure?

ANDY:
It´s on the other side of the
posterior cerebral artery.

So small it didn´t show up
on the scans.

There it is,
I´m seeing it now.

ANDY: We´re gonna need another
unit of blood in here, okay?

And, uh, you might wanna alert
the O.R. head nurse...

...tell her to reschedule
any electives, it´ll be a while.

BRIAN:
Like one chip wasn´t enough
for this kid.

[COLIN & BRIGHT LAUGHING]

COLIN:
Whoo-hoo! Come on.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

BRIGHT:
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Yeah.

COLIN:
Yeah!

COLIN:
Whoo! Yeah.

MOLE:
We gotta get back.

Yeah, we don´t wanna miss
the fireworks.

-You ready?
-You sure it´s okay?

You can not miss this, Bright.
This is unbelievable.

I´m still kind of messed up
from before, man.

What if I scratch
the truck up?

What are you gonna
hit, a dust ball?

Man, if you scratch the truck,
I´ll take the heat. Let´s go.

Let´s do it.

[ENGINE STARTS]

COLIN:
Yeah, boy!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[COINS CLINKING]

[AMY SIGHS]

You´re holding up the line.

Ephram...

...what are you doing here?

I wanted a Twix.

You came a long way.

Well, there´s two in a pack.

Yeah, I really
only wanted one...

...needed somebody
to share it with.

[BUTTONS BEEP]

[CHOCOLATE BAR THUDS]

Travel Boggle.

Travel Checkers.

Travel Scrabble.

And...

-...Clue.
-There´s no travel-sized Clue?

Professor Plum wouldn´t look
as cool all travel-sized...

...and squashed up.

So take your pick.

-Scrabble.
-Excellent choice.

And in case I have
to challenge you?

Ha, ha.

Never say I
didn´t come prepared.

You must have lived at the
hospitals back in New York.

Actually, this is
the first time I´ve been...

...since my dad was working.

Letters?

You´re a good friend, Ephram.

So are you.

[GUITAR ROCK MUSIC
PLAYING ON STEREO]

What are we listening to?

ANDY:
It´s a CD.

My son made it for me.

Oh. It´s really good.

[EKG BEEPING ERRATICALLY]

BRIAN:
We´ve got a bleeder.

-Pressure´s dropping.
ANDY: It´s the petrosal sinus.

We packed that
off two hours ago.

That baby is unpacking.

-Everybody focus.
-Let´s get some suction here.

CASTLE: Pressure´s labile,
it´s a little thready right now.

-I´ll start Levophed.
-See it?

No, field´s still flooded.
Cottonoid and some gel foam.

Hold on, Colin, hold on.

COLIN: Go for it, go for it.
-Pressure´s 70/40.

ANDY: I need a big
sucker, give me a 12.

BRIAN:
Empty the suction canister.

ANDY:
Let´s go, come on, Colin,
stay with us.

Stay with us.

We´ve got diffuse
brain swelling.

ANDY: Hang some blood.
-Bring some more fluids here.

CASTLE:
Pressure´s 90/60 now.

There you go, man, got it.
Let´s go, let´s go!

Good, good, good,
let´s get his fluid status up.

-Can you see the chip?
-No, I´m zooming out.

Zooming in.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

COLIN:
Bright!

[TRUCK CRASHES]

Bright, what is it?

I remember everything.
About last Fourth of July.

I remember everything
that happened that day.

Well, that´s natural,
it´s been a while.

The immediate effects
of the trauma--

I always have.

Go on.

That afternoon,
he stole some stuff...

...from his dad´s
liquor cabinet. Colin.

We were drinking.

The ceremony´s over and these
guys are gonna go off-roading.

The truck was there, I knew we
shouldn´t have taken it.

We get to Miller´s Field,
he says I can drive--

No, wait, slow down,
you´re not making any sense.

It was me, Dad.

I was driving the truck when the
accident happened, not Colin.

Sergeant Danforth said, it was--

He assumed by where Colin´s body
landed, that he was driving...

...and I let him think it.

And you were drinking too.

Yeah.

I was.

You see, it´s my fault.

Now if Colin dies,
it´s gonna be like I killed him.

Like I killed my best friend.

I wanted to tell you when it
happened, I should´ve told you.

And I am sorry, Dad.
I´m so sorry.

Amy´s gonna hate me forever.

You were driving.

Yeah.

And you waited
until today to tell us.

-Jim.
-No, I just wanna understand.

[SIGHS]

Four months, after all
is said and done...

...I find out that Colin
wasn´t driving.

I don´t get it,
what does that mean?

It means he
wasn´t driving, that´s all.

He was still in the truck,
he still got hurt.

-It doesn´t change anything.
-No, you´re wrong.

It has to. Something
has to change.

Jim, you have every reason
to be upset.

Bright just wants to make
things right. We both do.

Harold...

...how can things be made right
when Colin is like he is?

I don´t know.

I don´t know. The truth is,
this is just a first step.

That shouldn´t be
my son in there.

Bright, sit down.

I know I did a horrible thing.

I´m so sorry.

Bright, to my knowledge,
you´re the first person...

...to take any responsibility
for what happened that day.

I should have
said something sooner.

SHARON:
Yeah.

I could say the same thing
about myself.

But I haven´t able to bring
myself to say those words.

-You weren´t there--
-How could I not know...

...my son was drinking
or that he took the truck keys?

When I look back at
that day, I think....

I think that I knew.

I miss him.

Me too.

Will you wait here with us?

Yeah.

It´s official.

I have run out of things to say.

I´m really not
this boring, it´s just rare...

...that I spend so long
with one person, you know...

...I´m not usually scraping
the bottom of the barrel.

I get in, I get out,
nobody gets hurt.

It´s not you, this day´s
starting to feel longer...

...than the four months
Colin´s been in a coma.

God...

...four months.

What are you thinking about?

I´m thinking about the moment
when Colin finally wakes up.

I´ve thought about
it a billion times.

Yeah?

And I know what I´m
gonna say to him.

It´s not what you think.

I am gonna tell him
how sorry I am.

Sorry?

Ephram, there´s
a whole part of this...

...thing I´ve never
told anybody about.

What?

We had a fight that day.

Before he took the truck.
A big fight.

I told him I loved him.

You guys have a weird way
of fighting.

He didn´t say it back.

Maybe...

...he was just having a hard
time with the words.

You know, sometimes people
really wanna say something...

...but they just can´t.

Maybe.

Maybe he never really loved me.

You know what the worst part
is, worse than the waiting...

...and the operation and
the tubes and the machines?

Sometimes I think he wasn´t just
going for a joyride that day.

I think he was
running away from me.

Amy...

...this is gonna
sound really lame...

...but it´s the truth.

I know how you feel.

For a long time
after my mom had her accident...

...I was sure it was my fault.

But blaming yourself,
it´s just a way...

...to try and make sense
of something...

...that will never make sense...

...when the truth is, it was
what it was, an accident.

It´s kind of amazing, isn´t it?

Out of all the people
I´ve known my whole life...

...you´re the only one
who showed up today.

Colin came through very well.

[SIGHS]

We got the chip.

Actually, two chips. We found
a second one during surgery.

We had bleeding we didn´t
expect, which slowed us down...

...I can´t promise you
that it didn´t do any damage.

We won´t know where
we stand for a while.

In fact, for a week
or two it may seem...

...as though nothing
has changed at all.

I want you to know that we´ve
done everything possible...

...to help your son.

Can we see him now?

He´s on his way to ICU...

...the O.R. nurse´ll show you.

Okay.

[DOOR OPENS]

Thank you.

I don´t know what you were
talking about last night.

That was awesome.
Awesome.

You took a damn bone chip
out of a damn brain stem.

-You made history.
-Easy, Brian, easy. Down.

You´re right about one thing,
you´re a different person.

You´re better
than you were before.

It was the knishes.

The fact for
the first time in my life...

I had a personal stake
in the outcome.

Whatever it was,
put it in a carry-on bag...

-...and come back to New York.
-Sorry, no can do.

Hey, it doesn´t
have to be today.

When you finish this sabbatical,
come back home.

We still need the guy
who can fix God´s mistakes.

This is my home now, Brian.

And as for
the big guy´s mistakes...

...these days I´m working
on one of his bigger ones.

And it ain´t the fact that
you´ll never be as pretty as me.

How is he?

He´s out of surgery now.

If you wanna see him, Brian
here will show you the way.

Okay.

Wait, Dr. Brown?

Thank you, Dr. Brown.

Considering a career
in neurosurgery?

I am now.

-Delia´s with Nina.
-I figured.

[EPHRAM SIGHS]

So how´d it go?

Okay.

I don´t know
if we did any good...

...from here on in
it´s wait and see.

I meant, how´d it go for you?

Truthfully?

I was scared.

-Scared?
-Mm-hm.

You called it, remember?

Well, what were you scared of?

That I would fail Colin...

...Amy...

...the Harts...

...you.

You were scared you
would fail me.

Yeah.

I was.

But the music helped.

Bobby Short, inspired choice,
very New York.

-Glad you liked it.
-Hmm.

Travel games, huh?

I always wondered what people
did to kill time...

...while we worked.

Up for a quick game
of Travel Scrabble?

There is no way I´m
playing you in Scrabble.

You´ve been published
in the Scientific American.

But I will kick
your butt in Clue.

Oh, I think not,
Professor Plum.

Clue doesn´t
come travel-sized?

One of the world´s
greater atrocities.

IRV:
When things are working right
in the universe...

...a loss of innocence
is usually followed...

...in time, by an increase
in humanity.

Time is funny like that.

For everything it robs us of,
it grants us something.

Sometimes it´s a new friend...

...sometimes it´s a better
understanding of ourselves.

Sometimes, it´s just...

...a perfect day.

We should be heading back soon,
it´s getting late.

He´s right, Colin,
my dad´s gonna lose it...

...if we´re late
for dinner again.

Hang on a second, guys...

...let´s just lie
here a little longer.

We don´t have all day.

Sure we do.
