IRV: Previously on Everwood.

-Amy, what is it?
-Colin´s coming home.

So he´s coming home.

A little too soon,
if you ask me.

[ALL CHEERING]

I don´t remember the accident.
I don´t even remember you.

He can´t even remember my name.

Look, my dad said
it just takes a while.

I mean, he´ll
remember eventually.

You´ve just gotta stick it out.

You don´t have
to fake it anymore.

I know you don´t remember me.

-I´m Amy.
-I´m Colin.

EDNA: Yeah, more cards.
ANDY: Alright.

EVELYN:
Yeah, do a number.

[EVELYN LAUGHING]

IRV:
Every storyteller knows...

...that at the heart
of any great tale...

...is the hero who inspired it.

Legends whose
names are known...

...whose lives we remember...

...whose stories we pass on.

Alexander the Great.

Okay, I´m in.

IRV:
Ernest Hemingway.

I fold.

IRV:
Marilyn Monroe.

I got nothing.

IRV:
The older the tale...

...the more romantic
embellishments

we tale-spinners add.

It helps create the illusion
of an individual...

... who is larger than life.

Dr. Brown was a legend
in his own right by the time...

he came to Everwood
but he wasn´t the only one.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...a full house.

[ALL GROAN]

-She got you again, Dad.
-Damn.

I thought for sure
you were bluffing this time.

Wait till I tell Uta.
She´ll be thrilled.

You studied acting
under Uta Hagen?

Not acting, darling, poker.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Tell her about the time you
met Jack Lemmon in the john.

She was in the men´s room.

It was one
of those Frenchy restaurants.

I forget
the name. Uno-- Duono--

EVELYN: No, Edna, it wasn´t,
it was a Mexican restaurant.

I accidentally walked
into the men´s room.

Who should be standing
finishing up his business...

...but Mr. Jack Lemmon himself.

Of course, I had met him
several times in passing.

She´d just seen him in Long
Day´s Journey weeks before.

Anyway...

...I´m standing there.
I am so embarrassed.

-Mr. Lemmon zipping up.
-So, what did you say?

Well, what else
could I say except:

"Well, nobody´s perfect."

I don´t get it.

It´s a famous last
line from an old movie.

-You´d love it.
-Can I have a little more water?

I´ve got this
tickle in my throat.

I´ll get
you a fresh glass.

EVELYN: You have
a beautiful home.

Thank you.

So, what brought you to
Everwood?

My career was
at a standstill in New York...

...a friend asked me to direct
a production at the opera house.

-I was gonna stay the summer.
-How long ago was that?

About 12 years ago.

And now I mostly teach classes

and I´ll direct a play
now and again in Denver...

...but every winter I direct
a musical here in Everwood...

...and Edna´s my stage manager.

How about auditioning?
We´re doing The King and I.

I´m sorry, I haven´t done a
musical since high school...

...and even then,
I wasn´t very good.

I had the worst
time memorizing lines.

[COUGHS]

You should stop by my office
tomorrow so I can check that.

No, there´s no need.
It´s probably a flu.

Probably, but
I could take a look.

Well, Alright.
I´ll make my way over...

...to your train station
if you´ll audition with me.

Don´t know how I feel
about balloon pants. I´ll think.

Anyone for another hand?

Not this one.
Time to hit the sack, kiddo.

It was nice meeting you, Evelyn.

And you too, dear.

Are you gonna try
out for my musical?

Well, you have such expressive
eyes, you´d be a natural.

I have expressive eyes?

You gotta be kidding.
Nicole Kidman would kill

for those peepers.

Now, what about singing?
Do you like to sing?

She has a beautiful voice.
Takes after her mother that way.

EVELYN:
Okay, it´s agreed.

Auditions this week,
and don´t you forget.

I won´t. Thanks, Evelyn.

And just like that,
a star is born.

You have to buy my sheet music
first thing tomorrow morning.

ANDY:
And a star´s assistant.

Hey.

You ready for your
first day of school?

Sure.

-What´s that?
-It´s your Miners jacket.

You gave it to me last year. I
thought you might wanna wear it.

-Yeah, sure.
-Okay.

♫ Lookin´ back on the track
for a little green bag ♫

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

BRIGHT:
Clear the way, people.

Clear the way.
My brother has returned.

You´ve got homeroom,

and then first period
is with Mr. Bedford.

He´s a bit out of it,
so he may not notice you.

We both have Mrs. Chatman
for journalism. She´s

not nice at all,
unless she likes you and

then you´re golden.

Does she like me?

Everybody likes you, Colin.

You wouldn´t happen to remember
where homeroom is, would you?

-No clue.
AMY: That´s okay, I´ll show you.

It´s weird seeing
them together again.

-Its like nothing ever happened.
-I wouldn´t know.

I know you´re feeling destroyed
right now, but I´m here for you.

Why would
I be feeling destroyed?

Because you´ve been
holding Colin´s place.

He´s back and you´ve
got nowhere to stand.

You wasted all that time on Amy.

-It wasn´t for nothing.
-Oh, that´s true.

It was like
a practice crush.

Now you can focus on liking
someone more your speed.

Shut up, Wendell.

[HARRY SINGING THEN SIGHS]

HARRY: Theophilus Thistle,
the thistle sifter...

...is sifting a sieveful
of unsifted thistles.

Good luck, Dan. Knock them
dead, Neil. Break a leg, Alice.

Thanks, Dr. Abbott. You too.

[SINGING]

What are you doing here so
early? You´re not slated till 4.

Absolutely not, I signed up
for a 3:00 audition.

EDNA:
Hmm.

I wrote down 4.

Oh, well. Tough tamales.

[SINGING]
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mom

Beautiful, isn´t it?

That´s one of the oldest
theaters in Colorado, Delia.

It looks like a picture. You
think they have regular toilets?

Why wouldn´t they
have regular toilets?

I don´t know, maybe they didn´t
have them in the olden days.

If this is the result of
home-schooling, I´d reconsider.

I take it you´re
auditioning, doctor.

Well, the audition´s merely a
formality, but, yes. Yes, I am.

You don´t seem scared at all.

If you or your father
were to peruse the one-sheets

outside of the opera house...

...you´d notice there´s
not been an Everwood musical...

...in the last six years in
which I´ve not played the lead.

I bet you made a great gypsy.

Fear not, doctor, I´m sure
Evelyn will find a place...

...for you, perhaps
in the chorus.

You´re right, because there´s
room in my musical for everyone.

Evelyn, wonderful seeing you.

Harold.

Are my eyes fooling me, or have
you lost weight since last year?

-I´ve increased the cardio.
-I can tell.

Oh, Evelyn. Oh, Evelyn.

Brenda, you look more radiant
every time I see you.

Uh, do you have a sec?

I would love for you to look
over my music selection.

-Me too.
-I´d love to help you all.

I just need a few moments
to settle in, okay?

Excuse me.

ANDY: Evelyn?
-Yep.

Listen, Evelyn.
Uh, we need to talk.

If you don´t
have a song prepared...

...you can sing
"Happy Birthday."

You missed your
follow-up appointment.

Yes, I did. I´m sorry.

Must have slipped my mind

while I was readying
for the auditions.

-Perhaps we can meet later.
-We should.

Very well.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

I know you.

Uh, I don´t think so.
I´m new here.

You´re Ephram Brown,
the kid from New York.

Yeah, that´s me.

Thought so.

You know, I know all about you.

You shouldn´t waste your
Google time on me, alright?

-I´m not interesting.
-Bright told me about you.

I don´t know, he´s empty as far
as brain cells are concerned.

Your dad saved my life.

Excuse me?

Well, I met him
a few times in rehab.

He´s the one that
did the operation, right?

-That´s what Bright told you?
-What everyone told me.

They said he´s some
kind of a genius.

Yeah, he likes to thinks so.

Well, you´re cool with me.

It´s nice to meet you, Ephram.

Sure.

Nice meeting you too.

Honestly, doctor, you have
done a remarkable job here.

Where were you when I was
building the set of Brigadoon?

We could have used you.

-Why don´t you sit down, Evelyn?
-Oh, thanks, I´m fine.

Is this your son?

Wow. Why didn´t
he audition for us?

Ephram saves his theatrical
side for our arguments.

That´s too bad. He´s a handsome
guy. Lot like his dad.

So is your beautiful daughter.

By the way,
your auditions were topnotch.

Evelyn, I got the results
of some of our blood work.

-I´m sorry to tell you--
-I think you´ll be happy...

...with the role
I´ve chosen for you.

Really befits
your stage presence.

Evelyn, what I´m
trying to tell you is--

That I have leukemia?

-You knew?
-It´s not an impressive guess.

I´ve battled
that dragon before.

I didn´t know that.

Nobody does.
At least not in Everwood.

Twelve years ago,
I was living in New York.

My career was on its way up...

...I had been cast as a lead
opposite Julie Harris...

...in a production
at Lincoln Center...

...and I was diagnosed
with acute myeloid leukemia.

Well, needless to say,
I didn´t go up in that play.

Instead I moved here
with my cousin...

...to finish out
the rest of my days in peace.

And then it started to happen.

I started to get really well...

...and before I knew it,
I was in full remission.

That´s when my cousin suggested
that I join the living...

...and direct
the winter musical.

You see, doctor...

...I came here
to die and instead...

...I ended up living
the best years of my life.

Okay.

So here´s what
we´re gonna do now.

We need to get you
to an oncologist right away.

They´ll perform
a bone-marrow aspiration...

...confirm it´s still myeloid,
start you on the chemo.

Meantime, I´ll check with my
friends at the Mayo Clinic.

You know, there´s a trial that--

Does Edna know?

No, I haven´t told her.
I thought you´d wanna do that.

You mustn´t tell anyone.
Promise me.

Of course not.

Yeah.

Well, I should probably
go make some phone calls.

You´re gonna be
at rehearsal tomorrow, right?

You bet.

You´re gonna be great, you know.

Morning, Edna.

Mighty cold day in hell, sarge.

Well, it´s chilly out,
sure, but I´ve seen worse.

I remember one
winter in Calgary--

Evelyn flew the coop.

What do you mean?

Went back to New York.

Something about
helping her sister move.

Spend more time with her nephew.
She left us high and dry.

It´s not like her
to do anything like that.

-When did you get this?
-I don´t know when she left it.

Found it on my
doorstep, this morning.

Why? Do you know anything?
Did she say something?

Not a thing,
but I´m sure she´ll be back.

Yeah, but she doesn´t say when,
she wants me to direct the play.

Obviously,
the woman has lost her mind.

Well, I don´t know.
I think that´s a great idea.

Are you self-medicating again?
I can´t direct a musical.

-Why not?
-Because...

...if some person
wearing all black asks me...

what´s their motivation
I´m liable to smack them.

Come on, Edna,
you´d be terrific.

Directing´s all about bossing
people around, yelling at them.

Making them do things your way.

Nobody does that
better than you.

Nice try, but your
sweet talk won´t work with me.

Besides, I boss
people without the title.

That´s my point. You know how to
take control of a situation.

You´re a born leader.
That´s what Evelyn sees.

That´s why she
knows you can do it.

I did pick up a few things
from my rumble in the jungle.

Maybe they´d apply.

Long as you don´t ask the cast

to make necklaces of ears
go with what you got.

And you´ll be
there to help me...

...seeing as how she´s cast
you as the king of Siam.

The king of what?

She left a script
with the note. Congrats.

Do you think we should shave
your head or get you a bald cap?

No, no.
There´s gotta be some mistake.

The first read-through
is this afternoon.

I expect you´ll be prompt.

WENDELL: I wonder what
the lunch lady eats for lunch.

Think she eats this,
or brown-bag it?

If she brown-bags it
she did all the cooking...

...so wouldn´t it be as bad?

-Your thoughts exhaust me.
-Imagine what they do to me.

Ephram. I saved you a seat.
BOY: Oh, yeah, right.

Uh, it´s okay, I´m just gonna--

What? Sidebar.

Dude, what is wrong with you?

The popular table is beckoning.

-So?
-So you can´t say no.

That´d be like
saying no to free comics

or to making out
with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Such things are simply not done.

Okay. Alright.

Bring me back a souvenir.
BOY: Oh, yeah.

You all know Ephram, right?
BRIGHT: Sure, we do.

How´s it going, dude?

It´s going good.

How´s it going with you?

Good.
Thanks for asking.

Amy, will you scoot over?

You´re, like,
suffocating me here.

-Hey, Ephram.
-Hi.

Oh, right. You guys
obviously know each other.

No, no, not really, I mean--

-Not so much.
-You´re both sophomores.

I mean, you must have
some classes together.

I rarely attend class.

But he does go on field trips.

I need a soda.

You want something
from the vending machines?

I´m good, thanks.

Oh, wait up.

Ephram, do you want anything?

Uh, no, thanks. I´m good.

-Have you memorized it?
-No, not yet.

I can´t believe
all the scenes we have together.

I bet there´s gonna be
some private rehearsals.

Ha, looks like I´ll
finally be getting to know you.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh, boy.

I can´t believe you play Anna´s
son. It´s not fair.

It´s fair.
I have expressive eyes.

But I´m a real boy.
You just act like one.

-Deal with it, Arnie.
IRV: Here you go, Alice.

HARRY:
Evelyn?

IRV: Uh, Harold, hello.
Uh, good to see you.

Where is Evelyn? I demand to see
her. There has been a mistake.

The script has
"chorus-slash-king´s

understudy"
written on the front.

That´s not a mistake, Harold.

No, that´s impossible.

Who else would be the--?

Remember, there are no small
parts, only small actors.

Whatever idiot coined that
phrase...

...was not an understudy

in a community-theater
production.

I demand to see
Evelyn about this.

Sorry, folks.

Evelyn won´t be here today.

She won´t be here?
She´s the director.

That is not entirely the case.

Well, uh...

-...then who´s our director?
-You´re looking at her, cupcake.

You, Mother?

Evelyn had a family
emergency and requested...

...I serve in her post
until she returns.

So listen up, people,
and listen good.

Now, you all know
my husband, Irv.

He will be operating
as my stage manager.

If he sees anyone...

...bringing food or beverage
into this establishment...

...he has my full permission...

...to kick some thespian butt.

This includes children.

All right, then.

Let´s everybody
turn to page one.

Prepare to commence
with the read-through.

Pick you up same time
tomorrow, 7:30?

You don´t have to keep
driving me to school.

We always came together.

If it´s not out of your way,
cool. Seven-thirty´s fine.

It´s gonna all start
coming back to you.

We just gotta
get into the groove.

Stick with our routine,
the way it used to be.

How do you mean?

I mean, with, like,
lunch and everything.

We have a pretty set table.

And it´s been the same
six people since 8th grade.

If we keep it the same way,

...you´ll have a shot
of jarring those memories.

You mean Ephram.

Yeah. Heh.

He´s not like us, Colin.
Trust me, I know him.

And I know you. It´s like...

...ketchup and peanut
butter. Really bad.

Look, whatever you´ve got
against this kid...

...you´re just gonna
have to let it go.

I mean, as far as I´m concerned,
he´s one of us now.

Let´s just work it out, okay?

Sure. Whatever you say.

[GLASS CLINKING]

For reference,
you can ring the doorbell.

It´s effective and less a chance
of breaking my window.

I need to talk to you.

And apparently
it´s quite urgent.

What exactly is going on
between you and Colin?

Why are you being
all buddy-buddy with him?

First of all, I´m not being
buddy-buddy with anyone.

-Alright? He approached me.
-He did? Why? Uh--

I mean, why?

I don´t know.
Maybe he thinks I´m pretty.

I´m serious. You must have done
something to get his attention.

I don´t think it´s a good idea.
Not just for me, for everyone.

It´s nice to know
you´re thinking about everybody.

Instead of just yourself.

Excuse me?

Anyway, what´s the big deal?

No big deal, it´s just
uncomfortable.

Why?

Whatever.

I have no interest
in being your boyfriend´s buddy.

Don´t have anything
to worry about.

So you won´t
say anything about--?

No.

-I won´t.
-Thank you.

That´s all I needed to hear.

Unless, of course, you know,
he asks me directly.

Asks you what?
What would he ask you?

I don´t know but I´m not gonna
lie. I mean, you did kiss me.

You kissed me first.

Don´t worry about it.
I´m sure it won´t come up.

-Are you trying to upset me?
-Just being honest.

Honestly speaking maybe you and
Colin just shouldn´t be friends.

I mean, it´s not like you have
anything in common anyways.

No, wait.

No, you´re right. Why would
the perfect guy...

...have anything
in common with me?

-That´s not what I meant.
-That´s Exactly what you meant.

You didn´t mean
to say it out loud.

This is hard for me too.

Okay, I wanna be friends
with you the way we were.

I really do. But now that
Colin´s back in school...

...I mean, you said
it yourself, he needs me.

And I--

I´m trying to figure out how to
balance all of this, Ephram...

...and I will.
It´s just so complicated.

I think you should get going.

Wouldn´t want you to get in any
more trouble because of me.

THURMAN:
Splendid, Your Majesty.

How many children have you?

Don´t tell me.
Wait a minute, I know this one.

Um....

Sixty-seven.

I have 67 children.

-How long do I have to have--
-Could you focus with me?

-Did I say the line right?
-No, not really.

The line was,
"I have only 67 altogether."

You´re not even
looking at the script.

I know it already.

We´ve done this a hundred times.

I was close. You don´t have
to get so nitpicky about it.

-But you said earlier--
-Look, forget what I said, okay?

Let´s assume that
if I´m in the ballpark...

...it´s good enough,
alright? Okay.

Now, let´s skip
ahead to the next one.

Okay.

A missionary taught you English?

"Yes, sir."
"Missionary."

-That´s your cue.
-I have a line there?

-You do.
-Let me see that.

You´ve been
rehearsing for weeks.

Shouldn´t you know your lines?

You wanna
wear this cast forever?

-I need more plaster.
-Storage.

How´s it going
on those lines, sarge?

Oh, great.
Just really, really great.

I have altogether, 42 children?

-Ready for lunch, honey?
-Lunch?

Who has time for lunch?

I´ve got blocking
to finish. Look.

I got Lady Thiang exiting
downstage left as Tuptim enters.

It´s a collision
waiting to happen.

You should take a break.
You seem stressed out lately.

Why would I be stressed out?
The play goes up in three days.

I have seven
dances to choreograph.

I´ve got a lead
who can´t remember his lines.

And I´ve got a stage manager

who apparently
thinks he´s on vacation.

Yo, E, what´s up?

E? I´m E now?

-Hi, Ephram.
BOY: Yo, E, what´s up?

Hello.

Why does everybody know my name?

In case you haven´t noticed,
you´re the new "it" boy.

-Why? I haven´t done anything.
-You´ve been Colin-approved.

When the most popular guy
takes you under his wing...

...it´s like you´re
automatically accepted.

He likes me because of my dad.

Who cares why he likes you?
Nepotism is beautiful, E.

-Embrace it.
-Don´t ever call me E again.

BOY:
Hey, E.

I already have a plan.

You are part of the plan.

What is good
in Western culture--

I could drive a train through
those gaps, Brown. Speed it up.

What is good in Western
culture--

I already have a plan.

Already I have bring printing
press here for printing.

What he said.

Yes, I know, Your Majesty,
but there´s the--

EDNA: Cut. Just cut.
BRENDA: What--?

If I could just stay on-book
a little while longer--

Where the hell
is my stage manager?

How long does
it take for a latte run?

Perhaps he fled the country.

Wise man.

From the top, faster.

[ANDY CLEARS THROAT]

You are schoolteacher?

Yes, When do I start my work?

I´ll tell you when
I wish you to start.

There´s a matter we must--
This is ridiculous.

They don´t talk
this fast on West Wing.

-Thats it. Drop and give me 20.
-Oh, not again.

Hit the deck, Baxworth.

-I miss Evelyn.
-You say something, Alice?

-Sir, no, sir.
-For heaven´s sake, Mother.

This is a theater,
not a battlefield...

...and there are
ways to address an actor

during the rehearsal process.

Even a God-awful actor like Dr.
Brown deserves encouragement.

Directing requires
precision and creativity.

Inspiration and heart.

Evelyn Rowser possesses
all of those qualities.

And she´s nice to us.

And she doesn´t
make us do pushups.

I got an idea.

-Cue cards.
HARRY: Mother, we´re fed up.

This is not boot camp. We do not
want to be treated like--

[WHISTLES]

Alright, everybody, listen up.

Either we do this
my way or not at all.

Anybody who doesn´t like
it can leave right now.

I´m out of here.

Good luck, Mother.

-Listen, Edna--
-Forget it, doc.

Leave me alone.

COACH: Let´s get a game going.
Bright and Ted, you´re captains.

Ted, you´re first.

Dema.

BRIGHT:
Ephram Brown.

Ephram.

Dude, I picked you.

-Why?
COACH: Move it, Ephram. Come on.

TED:
Todd.

-What are you doing?
-Picking my team.

-Alex.
-But you hate me.

No, I don´t.

-I like you.
TED: Kurt.

-Since when?
-I´ve always been fond of you.

I´m just-- I´m shy.

You know. Al.

Name one thing
you like about me.

Just one? How about a thousand?
You´re, uh, sensitive.

Extremely clean.

Look, Bright, I know you
hate me, alright? I´m fine.

It means the planets
are aligned...

...let´s not mess
with the universe, okay?

You wanna pick the next guy?

[SINGING]
♫ Whenever I feel afraid ♫

♫ I hold my head erect ♫

♫ And whistle a happy tune ♫

♫ So no one will suspect ♫

WOMAN: Wake up.
MAN: Louder.

♫ I´m afraid ♫

[AUDIENCE JEERING]

[BLOWING]

That´s not whistling,
that´s blowing.

Yeah...

...I don´t think so.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Dr. Brown.

I wasn´t expecting to see
you again until Friday.

Come in.

Would you like some tea,
doctor? I´m having some.

No, no, thanks.

I was checking in...

...to see how everything
worked out with the Mayo Clinic.

Well, I´m going
to Minnesota next Monday.

I appreciate all
your string-pulling.

I´m happy to help.

I feel as though I haven´t done
enough these past few weeks.

What more could you do?

So, what are
you really here for?

You still having trouble
with your lines?

I think you
should tell them, Evelyn.

These people care. If they knew
what you were going through...

-...they would--
-They´d what?

What, they´d all
come trotting by...

...with their
tins of baked goods?

No, thank you.
I prefer my solitude.

There´s a certain dignity to it.

-Don´t you agree?
-No, I don´t.

There´s no reason why you should
have to go through this alone.

Especially when
it´s so unnecessary.

Listen, I have seen
people in your position...

...who had no friends
or family who were forced...

...to go through the pain and
the loneliness of sickness...

...but you are choosing it
and I don´t understand that.

It´s okay to let them
see that you´re human.

Excuse me?

Look, I know what it´s like.

People think of you as this god.
They worship you to the point...

...where they turn you into
something that you can´t ever

really be, that
you shouldn´t have to be.

You don´t have
to be perfect, Evelyn.

You can be sick.
They´ll still love you.

In fact, they´ll probably
love you even more for it.

I appreciate the sentiment...

...but these people
need me to be their hero

and I love playing the role.
I´m sorry you didn´t enjoy...

the adoration
of the masses, but I do.

Where´s the harm?

In the end,
everybody gets what they want.

What if you don´t get better?

Then what?

Then everybody will get
what they´ve always had.

An idea of me.

Well, Edna´s your friend.

And she´s working her ass off
right now trying to be you...

...when she has no idea
that it´s all smoke and mirrors.

Is that fair?

There are lots of things in life
that aren´t fair, darling.

And you of all people
should know that.

Hey, Ephram, you want a ride?

Uh, no, I´m okay.
I´m just gonna ride my bike.

We can put it in back,
man. Just hop in.

No, I´m fine, really.

Maybe he wants
to ride his bike, Colin.

COLIN:
Why would
he wanna do that?

Come on, we can make room.
Amy can sit in my lap--

Yeah, I don´t need a ride, okay?

I don´t need to sit at your
tables or play on your teams

-Dude, what is your problem?
-You´re my problem.

My dad helped you. If you wanna
thank him, be my guest.

I had nothing to do
with it so leave me alone.

Believe it I have no interest
in being your charity case.

-It´s not like that, man.
-Yeah, it is.

Trust me. You and I?

We have nothing in common. If
you want, go back to how it was.

You ignore me, and I´ll be
more than happy to do the same.

Okay?

All of you.

Tried to tell you, man.
He´s a whack-job.

COLIN:
Amy, get in the truck.

I don´t suppose
you serve margaritas.

Evelyn?

I´ll have what
she´s having, please.

I thought you were in New York.

-Your note said you had gone--
-About the note.

It´s full of bull.

-I´m a fantastic liar.
-Well, the joke´s on you.

Because it turns
out I´m a lousy director.

I single-handedly
ruined your musical.

I´m sure it´s safe
to assume that you did not...

...single-handedly
ruin anything.

In fact, I´m certain
that you had help...

...in the destruction of Siam.

The truth is...

...I tried.

I just couldn´t do it.

I´m not you, Evelyn.

No.
No, you most certainly are not.

You´re better.

You´re real, Edna.

Real people make mistakes.

They fall down in the world...

...and they pick themselves
up, bloodied knees and all.

I just wanted
it to be perfect, you know?

I didn´t pick
you to direct my play...

...because I thought
you were gonna be perfect.

In fact, I chose you because
I knew you wouldn´t be...

...and that you
wouldn´t let it stop you.

I heard that I made a
teeny-weeny casting faux pas.

Oh, boy.

-So you wouldn´t mind if I--?
-Darling.

The play is yours.

Do with it what you wish.

You probably
shouldn´t drink that.

Well, nobody´s perfect.

Well, looks normal
to me, sweetheart.

What exactly is it
that´s bothering you?

Is it a sore throat, tummy ache?

Let´s see. I´ve been
having hot flashes...

...insomnia and osteorosis.

Hmm, that does sound serious.

I thought so too,
and I might even be contagious.

I probably shouldn´t
be around people for a while.

Well...

...menopause isn´t
normally contagious, honey.

But then again, it´s also
rare for it to occur...

...in 9-year-old girls.

Guess there´s a first
time for everything.

Well, I guess we´ll
have to get you to a hospital.

Take some blood tests,
run a few CAT scans.

Blood tests?

Like with needles?

-Oh, yeah, big ones.
-Dad.

Maybe I don´t have menopause.

Oh, really?
Something else, then?

Maybe I just don´t
wanna do the play anymore.

Why, sweetheart?

Because what if I stink?

Then all those
people will boo at me.

If they´re gonna boo at anybody

it´ll be the guy who
can´t remember his lines.

Trust me,
you´re not gonna stink.

Maybe I won´t stink as bad as
you, but even still...

...I could forget everything,
even how to sing.

You remember
when Uncle Brian was here...

...and I had to do
brain surgery again

and I hadn´t done
it in a long time?

I was scared.

-You were?
-I was terrified.

I thought I was gonna forget
how to do everything.

I woke up that morning
and I thought:

" There´s no way.
I can´t do this."

You seemed okay to me.

Yeah, well, that´s what
I wanted you to think...

...but I was faking.

I pretended that I was okay when
deep down I was really afraid.

Next thing I knew,
I was in the hospital room...

...doing brain surgery,
and you know what?

I got so good
at pretending to be fine...

...that I actually was.

It´s called "fake
it till you make it."

-Like my song says.
-What song?

-In the play.
-Oh, yeah.

Fake it till you make it.

-I can do that.
-I know you can.

Your mom would
be so proud of you.

-Really?
-Really.

-Goodnight, sweetheart.
-Goodnight, Dad.

ANDY: You really
think I´m gonna stink?

Can I talk to you?

I thought we
already finished this.

Not exactly.

I lied to you, Ephram.

I acted like the reason
I was gonna be your friend

was because of your
dad but it´s not.

It´s something else.

Alright.

Let´s hear it.

I don´t know you...

...but more importantly
is you don´t know me.

You´re the only person
in this school...

...who doesn´t expect
me to remember them...

...or expect me
to be this guy

that I don´t even
know who he was.

You know, I´m trying
to please all these people

but it´s wearing me out, man.

I can understand that.

It´s different with you because
you don´t have any expectations.

I don´t have to feel guilty
for not knowing you.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

You see, in a way, I mean...

...you know, we´re both new.

And you look about
as out of place as I feel...

...which is probably
why I approached you...

...but what I don´t get is,
um, why you don´t like me.

Who said I didn´t like you?

Well, it´s obvious you don´t
like hanging around me.

Is there a reason?

No.

No reason.

We´re cool.

Cool.

So let´s talk
about this E thing.

Who came up with that?

COLIN:
Probably Bright.

EPHRAM:
Bright?

Hello, everyone.

Okay, then.

You look nice today, Baxworth.

-I do?
-Yeah.

Radiant.

Well, thank you, Edna.

-And, Alice?
-Sir, yes, sir.

You make a fine Tuptim.

I like what you´ve
done with the part.

I should have
told you that before.

I´m sorry if I
haven´t been very--

Nice?

Encouraging.

Private.

I don´t think I have to tell you
what great work you´re doing.

You really have me convinced
you´re a boy on that stage...

...and it freaks me out.

-Thanks, Edna.
-And, Dr. Brown?

Yes?

-You´re fired.
-I´m what?

An executive decision
had to be made.

I´d appreciate it if you´d turn
in your papers and exit...

...without too much of a fuss.

But I was making
so much progress.

How many children
does Your Majesty have?

Thirty...

...seven?

-Junior.
-Six.

How do you feel
about playing the king of Siam?

Who´s offering?

-I am.
-Gee, Mother, I don´t know.

Spielberg´s heard of my work as
the understudy. We´re in talks.

Come on, Junior.

The play needs you.

Well, I suppose
the show must go on.

Wouldn´t want
to let down Everwood´s

theatergoing community.

Alright, people...

...swallow that last
bite of crumb cake.

We´ve got a dress
rehearsal to get on.

ALICE: Come on.
ANDY: Let´s do it.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

EPHRAM:
Delia was never
in Romeo and Juliet.

She was not the girl
in Sleepless in Seattle.

She wasn´t born
when that came out.

Hey, if you´re
gonna dream, dream big.

-Dr. Brown?
-Hey, Colin. How you feeling?

Pretty good.

I know my parents have sent
you enough gift baskets...

...to last a lifetimebut, um...

...I guess I wanted to come
by and thank you myself.

Keep doing what you´re doing.
That´s all the thanks I need.

Hey, Ephram,
do you wanna come sit with us?

We saved a few extra seats.

Oh, no, thanks. Just
gonna chill here with my dad.

-Okay.
-Catch you later.

ANDY: You two friends now?
EPHRAM: Kind of.

Turns out we have
some stuff in common.

-You mean Amy?
-Surprisingly...

...it has nothing
to do with Amy.

-Why don´t you go sit with them?
-Because of Amy.

-So who´s this Evelyn Rowser?
-Why do you ask?

Well, I don´t know.

The play´s dedicated to her.
Is she famous?

I guess you could say
she´s a legend around here.

She the reason you got fired?

I didn´t get fired.
I chose to step down.

Artistic differences.

[EPHRAM SCOFFS]

-Dad?
-Mm-hm?

It´s nice to know you´re
not awesome at everything.

[CREW CHATTERING]

EDNA:
Alright, troops, fall in.

She means form a line, morons.

I´ll make this brief
because we´ve got civilians...

...waiting to be entertained.

You´ve all worked hard.

You´ve worked long.

You´ve struggled against
formidable odds...

...to get where you are tonight.

I´d be proud to lead you into
battle anytime, anyplace.

That´s all.

Go get them, soldiers...

...and good luck.

I thought it was bad
luck to say good luck.

It is, but let´s not
tell her that.

Uh, places, everybody.

IRV:
Evelyn Rowser had an
expression...

...for the few seconds
before the curtain went up.

She called it "the holy time."

You don´t have
to be an actor to know

what the holy time feels like.

It´s that breath you take...

...just seconds before
you become the person

you´re meant to become.

For some people,
it feels like forever...

...and for some...

...it´s a moment
over far too fast.
