ANDY:
Dear valentine...

...come away with me.

If I had a day with you
and you only...

...I would enjoy
the simple things.

The things that, in the end...

...when time steals
the rest away...

...are the only things
we´ll remember.

I would paddle you across
a still lake in a rowboat...

...and read poetry to you
until you fell asleep.

And I would never,
ever think about the hours.

What do you think
she´s thinking?

Oh, she´s thinking,
"Valentine´s is coming.

Will he remember
to bring me something?"

And he´s thinking...

"...did I get her
a piece of string last year

or the year before? Would
a twig be unromantic?" Ha, ha.

And she´s thinking,
"Another twig.

The guy has no imagination,
my mother was right."

Look, she´s pecking him now.

Now they´re snuggling.

Maybe they´re just like us.

-You ready for that picnic?
-I could eat a bear.

That´s not
what I´m talking about.

Valentine´s is two days off.
Pace yourself, Romeo.

[LAUGHS]

-I´ll go get us set up.
-I´m right behind you.

ANDY:
Dear valentine...

...if I had one day
with you and you only...

...I would admire
every line of your face...

...every strand of your hair...

...every graceful movement
of your hands or your eyes

or your body.

If I had one perfect day--

Now what did I say
about pacing yourself?

Irv?

Irv?

What´s wrong?

Get...

...help.

ANDY:
Don´t you see?

My heart beats only for you.

WOMAN [ON INTERCOM]:
Dr. Wilson to OR 1.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Thank you for coming.
-You kidding?

I wouldn´t have missed this.
How you holding up, Irv?

Okay, doc, all things
considered.

-Did you talk to Dr. Phillips?
-I did, and it´s good news.

The cardiac episode was mild.

No surgical intervention
is indicated at this time.

Although, you´ll need
to get started on diuretics...

...which should bring
your blood pressure down--

And make me piss
like a racehorse.

That, too.

Did Dr. Phillips mention
what the likelihood was

of another incident?

Well, as far as
these things go, I think...

...and Dr. Phillips agrees...

...Irv´s in the best shape
he could hope for.

If you stick to the diet,
and respond to the medication...

...you should be in the clear.

Well, I appreciate
your coming by.

I know it´s a sacrifice
letting Harold win

the daily parking-space war.

Hey, doc, looks like somebody
took your parking space again.

Yes. Yes, it does.

Welcome back, Gretchen.

Thank you, Dr. Abbott.

Yes, I see you´ve put
your winnings to good use.

-My winnings?
-Well, therapy is like Vegas.

The only decent odds
are with the house.

I resent the implication
that I´m defrauding people.

Oh, now, don´t you kid
a kidder, Gretchen.

You and I both know
that couples therapy...

...it´s like, uh, Botox.

New, of dubious
therapeutic integrity...

...and ultimately useless...

...to address the root
causes of the problem.

What is the rush, people?

Psychosis will
still be here tomorrow.

And the day after that.

Couples therapy.

Rose, hi.

Rose? Rose, Rose, Rose.

What on earth
are you doing here?

I´m signing us up, Harold.

To dialogue with that charlatan
about our marriage? Are you mad?

Every marriage needs a shot
in the arm once in a while.

What are you talking about?

With Valentine´s Day coming up,
it occurred to me that--

No, no. What complaint could
you have about Valentine´s?

Every year I treat you
to a sumptuous meal...

...accompanied by a dozen
long-stemmed pink roses...

...and an exotic sampler
of imported Swiss chocolates.

Yes, every year.

You see what I mean, Harold?

No. No, I don´t.

Well, we´ll talk
about it in our session.

I´m glad to see you
and Rose are coming in.

I can see that we have
a lot of things to discuss.

No, no, it´s Ephram.

E-P-H-R-A-M.

Picking up a valentine package?

Oh, that would be a big no.

E-P-H-R-A-M.

Well...

...yes, we do have a package.

Thank you.

And one for you.

-That´s Hart, right?
-Good guess.

Oh, yeah.

I´ve only lived
here all my life.

[EPHRAM CHUCKLES]

EPHRAM:
Oh, let me get it.

So, what about you?

You got a secret admirer back
at boarding school or something?

No, St. Margaret´s
is actually an all-girls.

And I´m not a lesbian. Yet.

So, what is it?

Supplies from the outside world.

Just a Band-Aid measure until I
get out and ship reminders in...

...and think nostalgically
of my wasted youth...

...when I was bored
off my ass in Everwood.

Someone who hates it here
as much as I do.

-As much? More.
-Not possible.

Okay, I challenge you.

I-hate-Everwood contest.

I´ll go first.

I hate the fact that
the egg rolls at Gino Chang´s

smell like lasagna.

I hate that everything´s a fest.

Thaw Fest, Fly Fest, Pie Fest.
What does that even mean?

What´s so festive
about catching some fish

or watching some guy melt?

I hate the fact
they call it Main Street

though it´s the only one.
Why not just call it street?

Do you have a subway map of
another city covering one wall?

Do you choose colleges
based on how far they are?

Ever had a dream that
you were trapped in a sewer...

...and woken up disappointed
that you were in Everwood?

Do you have a packed bag
and a plane ticket in your room?

-Come on.
-You don´t believe me?

I believe you.
I´ve kept the bag...

...I just haven´t
bought a ticket yet.

What happened?

Promised my dad I´d stay.

That´s how you get stuck
in places like this.

There´s always somebody
who needs you.

♫ Let´s fall in love ♫

♫ Why shouldn´t we ♫

Nina?

♫ Fall in love ♫

Do you like it?

Very much.

-What is it?
-It´s from Carl.

Every year he sends
a Valentine´s Day bouquet...

...representative of the state
he´s in at the time.

-Guadalajara?
-Ha. Arizona.

He says it´ll flower, too.

♫ And make our own paradise ♫

Oh, Andy, I´m sorry,
that was thoughtless of me.

-What was?
-Bringing up Valentine´s Day.

Don´t worry, it was a non-event
in my life long before now.

I used to send Julia
a dozen roses every year.

I never saw them. I´d have my
secretary send them, pro forma.

GRETCHEN: Would you do things
differently if you had to?

That´s how you know
you´ve internalized change.

Dr. Trott, you´re back.
It´s great to see you again.

It´s good to see you too, Andy.

I´ll have to sign up
for my time slot.

I´m afraid it´s only
couples therapy in February...

...a kind of
Valentine´s tradition.

That´s too bad, I enjoyed
our last session very much.

Well, we could do
something less formal.

-Lunch, say?
-I´d like that.

Tomorrow, then.
Here´s my cell phone number.

Call me and
we´ll pick a restaurant.

Sounds like a plan.

GRETCHEN: Thank you.
NINA: Mm-hm.

Andy, you have a date.

She´s a professional
psychologist.

Not to mention,
my professional psychologist.

Your shrink made
a date with you.

She made a professional lunch.

Ah.

[NINA CHUCKLES]

AMY: What should
we do Friday night?

We could go to Fuller´s Pond,
like we did last year.

No, I didn´t remember.

My mom showed me pictures
from Valentine´s Day last year.

She show you the one
where I fell on my face?

Yeah, apparently I´m
a better skater than you, huh?

-Wouldn´t you like to know?
-Bet I could find out.

-No, Colin. Colin, stop.
-I´m a better skater than you.

-No, you´re not, Colin.
-Say it.

-"Colin is a better skater."
-Colin´s a better skater.

Then you must really suck.

-Hey, Laynie.
-Oh, hey.

LAYNIE: Hey.
COLIN: Ephram.

Ephram. What are you doing here?

I found him at the post office
hanging around the outbound box.

I think somebody
was trying to return him.

Yeah, I wish.

Well, we´ll leave you two
to resume your tickling.

You´ve got your pills,
but you don´t need to worry...

...because I´ve got
a timer all set.

I´ve stocked the fridge
with healthy food.

-Oh, joy.
-The sheets are in the dryer.

We can sleep down here. That way
you won´t have to do the steps.

I´ll run up and take a shower,
then I´ll see about dinner.

If you need me, use this.
I borrowed it from Mindy Walsh.

Skip doesn´t need it anymore.

Anything you say,
I´ll hear up there.

Can I talk dirty into it?

[SOBBING]

So, what areas
did we wanna focus on today?

She speaks.

I was hoping you might be
a Freudian. No such luck.

I was addressing Rose, Harold.
Your turn will come next.

When we were first together,
he used to do these

little things
for me all the time.

Alright, you have
proven your point.

You can, in fact, put me through
hell any time you want to...

...because you´re my wife.
Can we leave now?

-No, we cannot leave.
-Lay it on me.

You want breakfast in bed,
you want flowers every Friday?

How much is my ticket out
of this gas-guzzling hellhole

gonna cost me?

Rose is trying
to communicate with you.

She´s not trying to communicate,
she´s trying to drive me insane.

-What makes you say that?
-That is what married people do.

Is that how you see marriage,
Harold? Can you elaborate?

Not without strangling you.

Try not to be defensive, Harold.

Rose, please continue.

Well, as I was saying...

...he used to do these small,
thoughtful things all the time.

You can´t expect me to be the
same hormone-filled jellyfish...

...that I was at 18, Rose.
Time has passed.

We´ve grown used to each other.

Now I-I-I mow the lawn
instead of writing you a poem.

It is still something
that I am doing for you.

We are entering a time
in our lives...

...when the kids will be gone...

...and it´ll be
the two of us again.

I need to know that
you still think about me

during the course of your day.

I think about you all the time.

Not the way you think about
a faucet that needs to be fixed.

I don´t think you´re a leaky
faucet, you´re a broken record.

Albeit, a, uh--

A beautiful broken record which
I´m fortunate to be married to.

[CHOIR SINGING WINGS´
"SILLY LOVE SONGS"]

♫ You´d think that people
would´ve had enough ♫

♫ Of silly love songs ♫

Good, good, I´m loving it.

♫ I look around me
and I see it isn´t so ♫

Now hit me, bass section.

♫ Some people wanna fill the
world with silly love songs ♫

-Laynie´s cool, isn´t she?
-Huh?

Laynie. You guys seemed to be
getting along the other day.

-That´s so great.
-I´m glad you approve.

And altos, groove with us.
Come on, let me hear you.

Since when
are you so interested?

I don´t know, she´s my friend,
you´re my friend.

Well, we got mail together.

Went back to her place.
We may have shared a beverage.

I thought it was time to ask her
for her hand in marriage.

Here comes the transition,
Peaches and Herb.

Ready, and go.

I just didn´t know
you were interested in her.

Who says I´m interested in her?

If you were, I could
help you in that department.

-And why would I want your help?
-So you are interested in her.

[CHOIR SINGING
PEACHES AND HERB´S "REUNITED"]

♫ The breakup we had
has made me lonesome and sad ♫

-Well, she is pretty attractive.
-Yes, she is.

I mean, kind of in a dark way.

She reminds me
of the girls back in New York.

As opposed to us
small-town girls.

If I did wanna
ask her out, you know...

...what do you think
I would say?

Just think of something funny
or, you know, something sweet.

I know she´ll go out with you,
all you have to do is ask.

Just ask.

Wow, you´re, like,
really on this.

If it works out,
I´ll give you a finder´s fee.

[BELL RINGS]

That was great, kids. Great.

GIRL:
My gosh, that was so hard.

Man, whatever she´s taking,
I want some.

Are you coming over tonight
for the animation festival?

Yeah, I´ll be there.

It´d be the perfect time
to ask her.

-Ask who what?
-Ephram wants to ask Laynie out.

Well, I didn´t say when, I was--

I thought you were
digging each other.

"Digging" is kind of--

It´d be the perfect time
to ask. Don´t you think so?

Yeah, it is.

Well, thanks.

ANDY:
Wow.

That´s a dress.

-Yes, it is.
-I meant, nice dress.

Oh, uh,
won´t you sit down, doctor?

Thank you.
Please, call me Gretchen.

Gretchen, alright.

What a nice restaurant
you´ve selected.

And just minutes
outside of town, too. It´s--

It´s surprising.

I was envisioning something
more along Mama Joy´s lines.

Haven´t been to a fancy
restaurant in a while?

Not in a while, no.
No, it really has been a while.

Oh, excuse me.

-Could we see the wine list?
-Oh, are we having wine?

-Is that okay?
-Yes, yes, of course.

-And a candle too, by all means.
-Gets dark back here.

-You know, I was-- I´m so sorry.
-Oh, no, no.

Good reflexes, you caught it.

No, I was-- I was,
uh-- I was saying--

I was going to say that, um...

...I read a very
interesting article recently...

...on some new discoveries
in neuroplasticity at UCLA.

[STAMMERING]
Did you happen to, uh,
pick that one up?

COLIN: So all of them
are like this.

EPHRAM: This is
one of my favorites.

I´m gonna get a soda. Anybody?

No, thanks.

She did that
getting-a-soda thing.

-She wants a soda.
-No, she wants you to follow.

-I think she may be right, dude.
-Oh.

Oh, ha, ha, sorry.

Um, after you.

Okay.

So, um...

...what are you, uh--?
What are you doing this week?

This week?

Yeah, you know,
I mean, ha, ha--

-The usual.
-Cool, cool.

-What are you doing?
-Oh, you know. I mean--

Don´t have any plans,
just whatever.

Well, this has been thrilling.

Hey, Laynie.

Would you maybe wanna,
you know, do something sometime?

-Could you be more specific?
-Well, with me, I mean.

You know, would you like
to do something with me?

-Like a date.
-Yeah.

-Any particular sometime, or--?
-Uh, tomorrow, tomorrow night?

Valentine´s Day?

Oh, uh, no, no.
I forgot. Sorry, no.

-Are you trying to back out?
-No, I just--

Good, because I´m in.

GRETCHEN: You seemed a little
uncomfortable all through lunch.

Oh, really? Was it knocking over
the vase that gave me away...

...or when I buttered my hand?

[LAUGHS]

Oh, well, I admit
I did enjoy our discussion...

...on the
psychological symptoms...

...accompanying fetal tissue
transplantation

in Parkinson´s patients.

I think I had in mind
a more personal lunch.

You know, a friend of mine
told me this was a date.

I didn´t believe her...

...but then when I saw you,
I was just unprepared...

...I guess, that´s all.

Oh, Andy, I owe you an apology.

It was unprofessional of me
asking you here, it´s just....

I thought about you
while I was gone.

I thought I felt
a connection between us...

...when I was here.

I know that the circumstances
of your life aren´t conducive...

...to this kind of thing now,
I´m completely aware of that.

But still,
I felt compelled to ask.

Did you think of me at all?

Not in the way
you thought of me.

I´m sorry, Gretchen.

Oh, it´s fine, Andy.

No, it´s completely fine.

Well.

Dr. Brown, thank you
for joining me today.

Bye.

You look great.

Be sure to bring your pills.

You smell great, too.

I just wanna make sure
I have Dr. Phillips´ number...

-...in case anything goes wrong.
-Wait.

-Stay here.
-Do you have the cell phone?

Alpine Creek´s line goes down
if there´s a storm.

I wanna make sure
we can reach someone in case--

Listen, I´ve got an idea.

Let´s cancel the reservation.

-Do you have the phone?
-Let´s cancel.

Oh, no, you don´t.

We are going to the restaurant.
Get your jacket.

What´s wrong, Edna?

What´s wrong is that
Dr. Phillips said no exertion...

...which means no hanky-panky.

He didn´t mean forever.
You said yourself I´m better.

-I´m not taking any chances.
-You certainly aren´t.

I´m not an invalid.
Stop treating me like one.

-You´re driving me up a wall.
-Our lives are different now.

We have to start acting
a little more our age.

Stop kidding ourselves
that we can do the things

we could do 20 years ago.

What? What, honey? Sweetheart?

Come here, come here, come here.
Sit down, sit down, sit down.

What´s the matter, sweetheart?
Are you alright? Please, what--?

[LAUGHS]

Pretty good, huh?

-I´m just teasing, sweetheart.
-Don´t touch me.

-How could you do that?
-I´m sorry, I was just joking.

I never knew you had such
a cruel sense of humor.

You´re right, I´m sorry,
I should-- Where are you going?

If you´re so fine, you can take
care of yourself, you stinkpot.

I said I was sorry. Come on.

What do you want?

Blood is thicker
than water, Junior.

I need to camp out here
for Valentine´s.

Great.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Well, we got through
Valentine´s Day...

...how about
an anti-Valentine´s evening?

I can´t, I got a date.

-You got a date?
-Yeah.

-What time is it?
-Uh, 6:10.

You got a date? Wow. You, Delia.

-Guess I´m odd man out.
-Delia?

She´s sleeping over
at Nina´s tonight.

She and Sam made an agreement
to be each other´s valentines...

...in case Prince and
Princess Charming didn´t show.

-Oh, very practical.
-Mm-hm.

-So where are you going?
-Uh, skating.

This a part of your childhood
that I missed?

-Do you skate?
-No.

-You´re not going with Amy?
-Laynie Hart, Colin´s sister.

-You like her?
-I don´t know.

She likes me.
I don´t know, she´s cool.

It´s nice to hang out with
a girl if you get the chance...

...you know what I mean?

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

Anyone like dessert? We have
pecan praline, mint chip.

-And imported Swiss chocolates.
-You´ve got some nerve, Harold.

When I woke up,
I thought there´d be something.

A note, a card,
some small gesture...

...signifying that you had heard
what I was saying to you.

I will not change my behavior...

...to accommodate
the rantings of a madwoman...

...clinically licensed or not.

You might wanna rethink that.

Mother, this has
nothing to do with you.

All you have are excuses,
Harold, and people to blame.

Nothing is your fault,
nothing is your responsibility.

Rose, forgive me.
Forgive me that I cannot be

the man that you´d like me
to be. You know? Forgive me.

Forgive me
if I don´t wanna become some...

...poetry-spouting Lothario...

...to hold on
to the glory of our youth.

You should be thrilled I´m not
having some midlife crisis.

Do you even remember this?

What?

When you went away to college,
I was dating Matthew Langley.

-What are you--?
-Most handsome boy in school.

Captain of the
varsity track team...

...full scholarship to Stanford.

So, big deal.

Before you went away,
you told me...

"I´ll show you
how much I care for you...

...and then you´ll
break up with this guy."

And all my friends laughed
because you were just...

...this gangly member of the
marching band with your tuba.

-I was first chair.
-But you kept your word...

...and every week
you sent me a letter.

And in it you would
include one thing...

...a leaf, a picture,
a pressed flower.

I´m sure I never sent
any pressed flower.

And then, one week, at the end
of your first semester...

...you sent me
this stub of a pencil.

And you told me that this
reminded you of me...

...this insignificant
little thing.

And I knew at that moment
that if something...

...so small and unimportant
reminded you of me...

...then everything
reminded you of me.

Because you loved me.

And I knew at that moment
that I loved you too.

And now, I want it back.

What?

Oh, oh. Oh, come on.

Now, you are not leaving home
over this silly argument.

Not me, Harold.
I´m not going anywhere.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

-Harold, what are you--?
-Happy Valentine´s Day, Irving.

I understand
this is the doghouse?

ANDY:
Dear valentine...

...these are the things
I remember of my love...

...a warm hand...

...your warm breath...

...your warm mouth...

...your arms around mine.

I remember feeling safe,
ceaseless.

Like one person.

The two of us still...

...at rest, entwined.

I remember how I felt
the first time I kissed you.

It felt like the high dive.

What do you remember?

How will I ever know
what was inside your heart?

Where did they go...

...all the things we think
and feel, but don´t say?

-Andy.
-Hey.

I´m sorry to just
drop by like this.

Are you alright?

I was wondering...

...if we could go somewhere.

EPHRAM: Oh!
-Ha-ha-ha.

EPHRAM:
That´s not funny.

So you guys seem
to be having a good time.

Yeah, so far
he´s not disappointing.

Yeah, Ephram´s cool.

What´s the 411 on him, anyway?

-What do you mean?
-Why isn´t he seeing anyone?

Uh...

...I guess he hasn´t
found the right person.

Did he just
break up with someone?

Hasn´t mentioned anyone.

-Girlfriend in New York?
-Don´t think so.

I don´t know why
I´m surprised that girls here...

...are too stupid to locate
the cool, eligible guy.

I mean, I haven´t
been gone that long.

Well, what is it
you like about him?

He´s that guy
you´d want to hang out with

even if you weren´t dating him.

He´s cute, in that kind
of way that´s sort of like--

You know in the movies

that guy that everybody pretends
isn´t cute, but is?

Yeah.

See you.

-Come on.
-Ha-ha-ha.

[ALL LAUGH]

LAYNIE:
You can do it.

HARRY: Valentine´s Day
is just an excuse for women...

...to point out
what we´re doing wrong.

You blow it on the day,
oh, you´re an unromantic yutz.

You do it right, it´s a point
of comparison for the rest...

...of the year when you´re
an unromantic yutz. Lose-lose.

-I think I´m a good husband.
-You´re a great husband.

You´re phenomenal. They´ve
no idea how lucky they have it.

Oh, oh, no idea!

We choose to do
these things for them...

...then we get punished for it.
You´re looking after Irv...

...I´m trying to protect
our marriage, and we´re shrews.

I used to do silly things
for her. We all did.

When you´re young
and wanted sex...

...it seemed justified
to make an ass of yourself.

When I was telling Dr. Trott
how Harold proposed...

...with the marching band
behind him?

I could´ve sworn for a second

that he couldn´t
remember our favorite song.

He used to hum that
to me around the house.

Irv used to scour
used record stores...

...for old USO recordings,
then we´d dance to them.

Valentine´s Day is supposed
to be the most romantic day...

...of the year,
and she doesn´t wanna have sex.

Every other day of the year
it´s fine, but--

I think I´m gonna be sick.

I´m only hard on Irv
for his own good.

If I don´t watch out
for him, who will?

I don´t mean to attack Harold.

I know he loves me.

I know I bore Edna sometimes.

I´ve bored Rose
since the day we met.

I think she makes shopping lists
in her head while I´m talking.

It´s the boredom.
That´s the romance-killer.

I don´t need a marching band
every day of the year...

-...but you need a--
-You want a selfless gesture.

-A sacrifice.
-To show what they´d do for us.

And for how long.

I never wanted excitement.

Not really.

I wanted....

Well, I wanted just what I have.

Me too.

So...

...what are we doing here?

You know...

...I´m really sorry about lunch.

What for? It was lovely.

Listen, I, um...

...I lied to you.

I have thought about you,
Gretchen.

But whatever thoughts I have...

...are dwarfed by this cloud of
disloyalty I feel about Julia...

...which I know´s crazy
and I know she wouldn´t want me

to feel, but I do.

Mm. It´s a scary place
where you´re standing, Andy.

Awakenings can be terrifying.

The loss of control´s more
than a lot of people can handle.

So you´re saying
you have a choice?

Oh, sure.
You can play it safe...

...hide...

...refuse to let life in.

I didn´t say
it was a viable choice.

You know...

...I was completely clueless
when Julia was alive.

I don´t think I ever told her
anything that was important.

Maybe if I did, I wouldn´t still
be carrying around this guilt.

She knew, Andy.

All those things
that you couldn´t say, she knew.

I wish I could believe that.

Sometimes...

...I just want--

What?

One night of peace.

You know?

Of living....

One night of not trying so hard.

More effort, Brown.
I need more effort.

I´m already expending
an infinite amount.

[LAYNIE LAUGHS]

-So? Come and get me.
-Yeah, that´ll happen.

What if I skate closer?

I might hit you by accident
the next time I fall.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

I dare you not to fall.

-I´m not falling.
-Wait.

There´s more.

[LAUGHING]

EPHRAM: Give me a chance.
LAYNIE: I gave you a chance.

-Two out of three?
-Come and catch me.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Talk about what?

Ephram and Laynie.

It´s been bugging you,
I can tell that it is.

Why would it be bothering me?

I´m the one who told him
to ask her out, remember?

I know something happened
between you guys

when I was gone.
Just tell me.

-How did you know? Did Ephram--?
-I figured it out, Amy.

Why don´t you tell me
what happened?

-Because it doesn´t matter.
-Well, it matters to me.

I missed you.

And no one really understood.

And Ephram came along,
and he just got it somehow.

And so we spent
a lot of time together...

...because he was the only one
that I could talk to.

But-- And I know
this is gonna sound lame.

--it was always about you.

In the beginning, you mean.

One night, we went on this field
trip, got stuck in the mine...

...and he kissed me.

I don´t know
how I let it happen or why.

I was crazy that day
thinking about your surgery...

...and I didn´t know
what I was doing.

Did it happen again?

Once.

Did you know
what you were doing then?

What happened
between Ephram and I...

...amounts to about 10 seconds.

Before you judge me for it...

...I want you to think about
the hours of bus trips I took

to go see you. The thousands
of pages that I read to you.

The hours of music
that I played for you...

...because they said
that you might hear it.

I couldn´t eat, Colin.
I couldn´t sleep.

I couldn´t focus in school,
I lost most of my friends.

When you finally did wake up...

...you didn´t even
remember who I was.

Your mother
wouldn´t let me go see you.

What was I supposed to do?
Because I don´t know anymore.

I don´t know.

I wish you had been this honest
with me a month ago.

See, when I got out
of the hospital...

...I didn´t know who you were.

But I do now.

And I really like you.

The only problem is...

...you haven´t been able to take
your eyes off him all night.

Andy?

-What time is it?
-It´s late.

Listen, I gotta go.
My son will be home soon...

...if he´s not already.

-Are you alright?
-No, I´m-I´m fine.

I just....

I need to go.

AMY:
Mom, there´s someone
here to see you.

[BAND PLAYING BILLY JOEL´S
"JUST THE WAY YOU ARE"]

Harold, what in heaven´s--?

Rose, I have
three things to say.

Uh, first is that, yes, this was
a completely exploitative act...

...meant to manipulate every
romantic fiber in your being.

Uh, second,
in case you weren´t aware...

...Matthew Langley
dropped out of Stanford...

...currently makes his living
selling the same

cheap hair plugs
which adorn his own scalp.

And third is that, uh--

I was at the bank
getting the cash...

...to pay for
this obscene gesture...

...and, well...

...I noticed something there
which reminded me of you.

A pencil stub.

I woke up and I was feeling...

...claustrophobic...

...and empty...

...and guilty.

You left her there
on Valentine´s Day.

That is so lonely.

I know.
I feel terrible.

I mean, I never should have
been there in the first place.

You got yourself there.

You must have wanted
to be there on some level.

She´s a great person,
and I was lonely last night

and it was nice to be talking...

...and drinking wine
and having fun.

You know? I miss that.

You need to go
tell her those things.

What´s the point?

I have nothing to offer her.

Well, I think
you just need to go...

...and offer
whatever you have...

...and trust that that effort
is worth something to her.

I never had a friend I could
talk to about this stuff.

You never needed one.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Where are you going?

I gotta go in
for some tests in Denver

and some follow-up stuff
in rehab.

Were you gonna call me?

Well, I mean,
I don´t leave till tomorrow.

I should have told you
about Ephram sooner.

I was afraid.

Everything was already so
strange, you coming back...

...and then I let
too much time go by...

...and things just got weird,
you know?

I understand.

Lucky for you, I´ve got
this memory problem. Ha, ha.

So...

...how long
will you be gone for?

A week, maybe 10 days.

Can I call you?

If you want.

-You don´t have to.
-Of course I want to.

Don´t just say it
fast like that.

I want you to think about it.

-Think about what?
-About what you want.

I know what I want, Amy.

I want you.

But that shouldn´t be
enough for you.

You have to want me, too.
This me.

I don´t expect you to have
an answer for me right now.

It´s okay.

I´ll wait for you.

You waited long enough for me.

I finally found you.

Didn´t know you were looking.

Working Saturday.

I was getting
in Junior´s hair...

...and I didn´t wanna go home.

I´m sorry, Edna.

I wish I could
take back what I did.

You´re right, it was cruel.

And you were just trying
to take care of me.

But there´s nothing I can do
about that now...

...except beg you to forgive me.

When Hal died...

...we didn´t see it coming.

I watched him die, Irv.

I just don´t think
I could go through that again.

You may have to.

-One of us has gotta go first.
-Well, I vote for me.

We´re strong people, you and I.

No one wanted us to get married.

It scared everybody to death,
but we walked through it...

...because that´s what we do.

We walk through fire,
we climb mountains.

And we have
a good time doing it.

I like that about us.

Most of our friends
are eating tapioca...

...and measuring out
cups of Metamucil right now.

But this is our time together.

Let´s spend it the way we want
to and not waste it worrying...

...how it´s gonna
leave us or when.

I´ll try.

What?

This office.

What about it?

It´s just...

...we haven´t christened it yet.

ANDY:
It was all just more
than I could handle.

And I wish I´d known
that it would be, but I didn´t.

I shouldn´t have left,
I know that.

I probably knew it then,
but I just--

I had to get out.

I´m so sorry.

Apology accepted, doctor.

And it wasn´t that I didn´t
have a good time, because I did.

I don´t mean "good time,"
what I meant is that I--

It was nice.

-You thought so? Really?
-Oh, I really did.

-Oh, because I thought it was--
-Yes.

I did too.

Look, maybe we could try again,
just sort of start over.

I don´t know if I´m ready for
this, but I´d like to find out.

I don´t think I can do that.

You know.

There´s a reason I move around.

If I wasn´t so scared to figure
out what that reason is...

...I might use my analytical
powers to figure it out.

So you´re more neurotic
than I am.

Oh, it´s possible, yes.

[BOTH LAUGH]

That doesn´t mean
I´m gonna refrain

from giving you
professional advice.

Oh, I expect
nothing less, doctor.

I think that there´s
something inside of you

that you need to express.

You have these thoughts
about your wife...

...the love that you had, the
life that you shared together.

And all the things
that you couldn´t say.

Write it down.

All of it.

Write a letter to her.

And try....

Try as hard as you can
to find some peace.

There´s a beautiful world
out there, Andy.

And it´s happening right now.

MAN:
Alright, pass it around.

GIRL: Yes.

BOY: Gonna be like this
the whole night.

GIRL:
There you go.

Hey, your mom told me
I´d find you here.

-Hey.
-Thought you´d be skating.

No, just thinking, watching.

Imagining you´re Michelle Kwan?

-How did you know?
-Lucky guess.

So, I wanted to thank you
for making me ask out Laynie.

-I didn´t make you ask.
-No.

I did it to prove
something to you.

Don´t ask,
I don´t get it myself.

But I had a really good time,
so thank you.

Well, then,
you´re welcome, I guess.

Glad you had fun.

-She kissed you.
-You saw that, huh?

-Uh-huh.
-Well, she started it.

Think you´re gonna
see her again?

I don´t know. I hope so.

So, what´s going on with Colin?

Uh, he´s got
some tests in Denver.

He´ll be gone for a few days.

Do you think love gets easier
as you get older?

It´s all so complicated
in high school.

But I figure
if it stays that hard...

...no one would ever
get married, right?

Yeah. It must get easier.

Or maybe you just
get better at it?

Maybe you don´t
get better at it...

...but you do it so much
that it´s like math.

Problem, solution, with the
variable that messes you up.

Man, I hope not. I suck at math.

You went about the whole
learning-to-skate thing

the wrong way.
You do it without skates first.

If I had a teacher
who wasn´t laughing at me.

Well, I can´t promise anything,
but come on.

Just don´t fall down
and you´ll be fine.

Come on.

You´re doing great.

ANDY:
Dear valentine...

...these are the things
I never told you.

These are the things
I need you to know...

...that I loved you always...

...and my love was so big...

...it lives still
after you´re gone.

I´d like to tell you that
I would do it differently...

...that if I had one more day,
I would do everything right.

But I know that isn´t true.

I´d make all the same mistakes.

That is, except one...

...I wouldn´t say goodbye.
