IRV:
Previously on Everwood:

Ludwig van Beethoven,

"Piano Sonata No. 8
in C-minor." Play.

-Invite me to your recital.
-You´d wanna come?

Of course I would.
You´re an awesome player.

You´re still upset with me.
That´s fine.

Still upset?

Should I be over your total
betrayal of me...

...after only one day?

I mean, come on, Ephram...

...Colin´s been through hell
to get where he is.

Believe me, whatever that´s
wrong now, he can handle it.

No, he can´t.

-Well, then I can.
-Good luck with that.

IRV:
Throughout the centuries...

...mankind has been fascinated
by the nighttime sky.

Ancient peoples believed
that the heavens were ruled...

...by a pantheon of gods...

...while others thought
that the stars were diamonds...

...dangling just out of reach.

AMY:
Thanks for the ride, Grandma.
If it weren´t for you...

...I´d probably never see
Colin outside of school.

-Junior still isn´t driving you?
-I refuse to ask for any favors.

Why give him the satisfaction
of being dependent on him...

...when I could be
dependent on you?

I see your point.

Although Mr. Randolph
does have that taxi available.

If he would acknowledge
that he made a mistake...

...I might be able to forgive
him, but he thinks he´s right.

-You think he´s totally wrong?
-I know he´s wrong.

He acts all righteous...

...like he´s so much smarter
than me, that I wanna--

Grab his hair and beat his head
against the wall...

...till he barks like a fox?

-Heh, yeah.
-Believe me, I´ve been there.

When I told your dad
I was marrying Irv,

you should have heard him
go on...

...all puffed up like a damn
blowfish.

The trick is,
don´t let him get to you.

Remember, it´s all about power.

Exactly. So right.

You´re the only person
in the family...

...that´s even tried
to see my side of this.

You´re the only one
who really gets me.

No, no.

Maybe you and Irv could come
over for dinner tomorrow.

It´s been a nightmare lately,
but if you´re there...

...it might take some
of the pressure off.

-Or it might piss off your pops.
-That would just be a bonus.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Count me in.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

It´s for you.

I gave Colin your number
so he could reach me, okay?

-Of course it´s okay.
-Thanks, Grams. Hello?

Oh, I miss you too.
Heh, heh.

Grandma.

I gotta go.
I´ll call you back.

What?

Would you look at that?

Wow, it´s all glowing.

IRV: With all the advances
in technology of late...

...modern science offers
more opportunities...

...than ever before to help
unravel the mysteries...

...of the night sky.

What the heck
do you think it is?

Amy?

Amy?

Hey, Colin?

Yeah, I´m back. Yeah, I don´t
know. Some weird star thing.

IRV: And yet it seems that
the closer we get to the
stars...

...the less
we actually understand them.

Now, be honest but constructive.

So, what do you think?

It´s good.

Morning. Wanna try one
of my soon-to-be-famous omelets?

It´s safe, I promise.

It´s alright,
I should get going.

Did you pick up my suit?

I picked both of ours up
at the cleaner´s last night.

You think, uh,
dark blue´s appropriate...

...for an Everwood recital?

Yeah, it should work.

Good, because I canceled
my appointments for Friday.

I don´t want anything
to interfere.

It´s a recital, not a big deal.

Do you get to do the finale?

He always gets the finale.
It means he´s the best.

Uh, I don´t know yet. The finale
was a bigger deal in New York.

Here I´m playing with guys
who think an arpeggio...

...is a form of pasta.

You didn´t invite many people,
did you?

Uh, no.

And you know
who to invite, right?

Mm-hm.

-Who?
-Who what?

EPHRAM:
Who´d you invite?

-Don´t you trust me?
-No.

-Nina, Sam, Edna, Irv, Harry.
-Who´s Harry?

If you want I´ll disinvite him,
but he´s gonna be disappointed.

No, Harry can come. Nobody else.

I don´t want some cheering
section.

If I see one video camera,
I´m walking out.

Don´t forget,
you´re in charge of cups.

Roger that.

Cups.

Don´t worry, Dad,
I got your back.

ANDY: I gotta tell you, I don´t
know of too many lumberjacks...

...except for Paul Bunyan
and that paper-towel guy.

Well, we´re just
like normal folks.

Just got more chain saws,
that´s all.

Well, sit down
and tell me what the problem is.

I´ve had some,
uh, bruises crop up lately.

I don´t know
where they´re coming from.

I´m not the kind of guy to be
worried about a little bruise.

Betsy thought we ought to check.

They´re very purple.

I woke up one morning,
and there they were.

BETSY: They´re getting worse.
-Well, let´s have a look.

ANDY:
Hmm.

What do you think?

It´s hard to tell at this point.
Could be any number of things.

Could be an infection...

...or sometimes an allergic
reaction can cause bruising...

...or it could be something as
simple as a vitamin deficiency.

I think we ought
to run a blood test...

...to make sure
it´s nothing more severe.

I´m gonna be leaving town
in few days.

Things have been slow...

...so I´m going to Alaska
to work for a couple months.

-Can this wait till I get back?
-Didn´t you hear Dr. Brown?

This could be severe.

You´re not going anywhere until
we know for sure.

She loves me. Heh, heh.

I wouldn´t worry
too much about it.

I´m sure we´ll get
to the bottom of this.

-Describe what it looked like.
-It´s hard to.

All I know is that it was the
strangest thing I´ve ever seen.

I ran into Brenda Baxworth
at the market.

She´d been on the phone
to NASA for two hours...

...trying to get somebody here
to identify it. Heh.

There´s only one explanation:
aliens.

-Bright.
-Yeah, don´t believe me.

When green men come in
knockin´...

...who do you think they´re
gonna invite to the ship?

We should be so lucky.

Why do we´ve to figure it out?
Some things can´t be explained.

Stonehenge, crop circles,
Edna´s aversion to cooking.

You don´t look like you´re
starving to me, big fellow.

I hate to end this aimless
debate...

...but the answer´s rather
simple:

the aurora borealis,
a.k.a. the northern lights.

Could we please change
the subject

to something less tedious?

You´re wrong.

Excuse me?

The northern lights are
caused...

...by physical and chemical
reactions...

...from solar winds colliding
with air molecules.

And they only move
on the Earth´s magnetic field.

You only see them
when you´re closer to the poles.

We´re too far south.

And the clouds are colorful:
red, blue, violet.

The lights we saw were white
and moving around.

How do you know all that stuff,
Miss Honors-Science?

God had to do something with
the other half of your brain.

Maybe you and I can figure out
what it is.

Like when we used to play
X-Files.

We can gather evidence,
look for clues.

You´re forgetting
you´re grounded.

What for?

Mulder here blew the curfew
last night.

-Came in late from Colin´s.
-What´s the big deal?

It´s not like I´m going anywhere
that counts as fun.

-No offense.
-None taken.

We´re gonna solve a scientific
mystery. I´m still grounded.

Do you think if aliens
would probe you...

...you´d still be considered
a virgin?

[SIMPLE MELODY PLAYING ON PIANO]

Hey.

Is that what you´re playing
for the recital?

No, I got something better.
"Axel F."

from Beverly Hills Cop.

MATT:
Hey, guys. Sorry I´m late.

Okay, so the recital
is in two days.

I thought we´d change things up
by rehearsing together.

So I want you to split up
into groups of two.

The person you´re paired with
will be your page turner.

But you should have your music
memorized before the show.

I´ll let you know by Friday what
the order for the show will be.

Ephram, you´re with Kate...

...and you guys will play
first tonight.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-So how´s it going?
-Good.

How long you--?
How long you been with Matt?

-A couple of years. You?
-Oh, just a few months.

You wanna go first,
or should I go first?

I´m already memorized, so....

-Okay, well, my stuff´s in my--
-No worries, I´ll just go.

[PLAYING BEETHOVEN´S "MOONLIGHT
SONATA" THIRD MOVEMENT]

Where were you?

Well, after spending
the early morning hours...

...delivering the last
of the invitations...

...I decided to go shopping.

I was supposed to get regular
cups, right?

Uh-huh. So, what did you get?

Well, you said you couldn´t
remember which kind Mom got, so:

Fortunately, Mr. Johnson had
a shipment of 16-ounce Solos.

They were a steal.

So, what do you think?
Does red say recital or what?

I don´t know, you might have
to take some back.

Well, either that
or throw a kegger.

-What are all these for?
-For your guests.

EPHRAM: What guests?

Well, four people just
R.S.V.P.´d.

I hand-delivered the invites
myself.

Good. Then you can take
them back, right?

-What, the cups?
-No, the invitations.

Was the recital canceled?

I decided I don´t want anybody
there. It´s no big deal.

It is a big deal.

Could you at least tell me why?

Because it´s my recital
and I don´t want anybody there.

Well, does this have something
to do with Mom?

I know your last recital--

It´s got nothing to do with
that.

That´s not
what everything´s about.

Well, then what is it about?

Just because it´s not Mom
doesn´t mean I´m gonna tell you.

I guess I´m supposed
to be happy with that.

Yeah.

We could throw a pregger.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Ha. The good ship Fruitcake
has definitely landed.

Officers.
Enjoying this, are we? Hello?

[HORN HONKING]

Come on, you losers.

Blast off, you bozos. Move it.

Oh, well, now,
let me just hit this one.

How many points is that? Hello?

You tie-dyed space freaks,
move it.

My God.

Hey, would you like
to buy a crystal?

No, I would not like
to buy a crystal.

What I would like is for you
and your hippie entourage...

...to hightail it out of here,
yesterday if possible.

Hey, power vortices
are moving northward, man.

-You better be prepared.
-Power vortices? What is that?

A term you picked up in
Ben and Jerry´s physics class?

No way, dude. Vortices are part
of the alien plot.

It´s pointless to do so,
but might I point out...

...that after several
NASA missions...

...and spending billions
of tax dollars...

...the search for
extraterrestrial life...

...has proven fruitless
for decades?

We are alone, dude.
Better get used to it.

According to Carl Sagan...

...it´s 99 percent certain there
is other life in the universe.

I should´ve known you´d be
on the side of wack jobs.

If you could find
an alien race...

...that didn´t watch
Joe Millionaire,

you wouldn´t consider
relocating?

If I thought that was even
a remote possibility...

...I would´ve been
beamed up long ago.

Ladies.

Well, your blood test
came back negative...

...for infection
and allergies...

...and you´re clearly
suffering...

...from something much more
severe...

...than a vitamin deficiency.

So then it might be aliens?

Well, if I had to bet on a fight
between Chuck and an alien...

...I´d put my money on Chuck.

But we could bring in Bigfoot...

...or the Loch Ness monster
for questioning.

Are you a heavy sleeper, Chuck?

Yeah, as a matter of fact,
we both are.

We joke that if the house were
to burn down

while we´re sleeping,
neither of us would wake up.

ANDY: Good to know.

Well, how about sleepwalking?
You ever done that?

Yeah, as a kid.

My mom used to say
she´d catch me in the kitchen...

...in the middle of the night
stealing cookies.

But that was years ago.

Nonetheless, Previous history
is a good indication

that this might be the root
of your problem.

I´m gonna recommend we set up
a sleep clinic...

...right here in my office.

-A sleep clinic?
-Mm-hm. Just standard procedure.

You´ll go to sleep like normal.

The only difference is,
you´ll be here.

That´ll give me a chance
to observe

and figure out
what´s causing these bruises.

-Should I come too?
-I´d rather observe Chuck alone.

It´s usually better
if the patient remains isolated.

You think you can make it
on your own?

I´ll do whatever it takes.

Great. I´ll see you tonight.

I´ll bring milk,
you bring cookies.

Great. Chocolate chip or
oatmeal?

AMY:
Oh, Ephram´s recital. Cool.

I see your dad
went for the fancy lettering.

Yeah, no,
I didn´t know he sent you one.

So are you nervous?

I´m trying not
to think about it.

I know what you mean. My ballet
recitals are so stressful.

My dad invites
like a million people.

Well, consider me
R.S.V.P.´d, anyway.

Sure about that?

Um, yeah, I mean...

...unless you don´t want me
to be there.

I just--

I don´t know
if it´s the best idea.

You´re afraid you´ll mess up
or something?

I appreciate you trying to act
like everything´s normal...

...with this whole Colin thing,
but we both know it´s not.

And I think it´s best
if we just kept our distance...

...for a little while,
don´t you?

Yeah.

I guess you´re right, Ephram.

Good luck.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-You always gone to County?
-Not by choice.

That´s weird,
I never noticed you.

Should you have?

Well, I like to know when I´m in
the presence of greatness.

I mean, I thought I was good,
but you were amazing.

You didn´t notice
my dynamics were off...

...my fingering was wrong...

...and I rushed
the tempo in the allegro?

I´m just glad I´m not gonna have
to play after you. Ha, ha.

-How do you know you´re not?
-Oh, because you´re the best.

The best player goes last.

I could play perfectly, and I
wouldn´t make the finale slot.

-Matt knows what he´s doing.
-Matt does know what he´s doing.

Trust me, Liberace has a better
shot at the finale than I do.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

HARRY:
What on Earth is this?

Hello? What...? Excuse me.

Can I get in past you all,
strange people?

Excuse me, carbon-based life
form coming through.

-Excuse me.
-How many in your party today?

There´s a wait to get
into Mama Joy´s?

Unless you wanna share a table.

I´d buy everyone here a one-way
ticket to Roswell...

...before I´d be seen breaking
bread with the lunatic fringe.

What...?

[CHUCKLES]

Speaking of.

This is a turn of events.

It may be the first time
that you´re not...

...the craziest person
in Mama Joy´s.

ANDY:
Thanks. Feels good.

You don´t happen to have
that recital invitation, do you?

-No, why?
-I have to disinvite you.

It´s not my choice.
I have no choice.

I take it back, you´re still the
craziest person in Mama Joy´s.

No, no, it´s not me,
it´s Ephram.

He keeps changing his mind
from one minute to the next.

I can´t figure out
what he wants.

That seems like a simple case
of pre-recital jitters.

He´s nervous. Doesn´t wanna make
a fool of himself...

...in front of 300 people let
alone in front of his father.

Although you´ve humiliated
yourself plenty...

...in front of him, it´s not
a big deal for your family.

CHUCK: Dr. Brown.
-Hey, Chuck.

Remember that, uh, sleep-clinic
thing we were gonna do tonight?

I can´t, something came up.

Can we, uh, switch it to
tomorrow?

Give Edna a call.
She´ll put it on my schedule.

-Thanks, I appreciate it.
ANDY: Mm-hm.

What were we just talking about?

Ephram´s recital tomorrow.
Oh, damn.

Um....

I don´t suppose you´ve ever run
a sleep clinic, have you?

Nice try, doctor. I´m not here
to pick up your slack.

I´m sure, you and Mr. Dodd will
find a mutually agreeable time.

That´s gonna be tough...

...especially since he´s leaving
town in a couple of days.

He has got these mysterious
welts all over his body.

I´m just afraid
if I wait too much longer...

...the Everwood lights
will disappear

and possibly Chuck´s welts
with them.

You and I know that the lights,
whatever they are...

...have nothing to do with
Chuck Dodd´s mysterious welts.

Yeah? Tell that to Betsy.

She is convinced aliens
have done this.

She has given an exclusive
for the Pinecone.

I don´t wanna see what press
people are capable of...

...once they get their hands
on some hard evidence.

If I do this, you know...

...it is only because I cannot
pass up an opportunity...

...to disprove
the National Enquirer.

Oh, absolutely.

Menu?

EDNA: No, wait, wait. Go back
to the phosphorescent minerals.

That theory doesn´t make sense,
Grandma.

Why not?

AMY:
Because, um....

Um, light from minerals
would be seen

just above the Earth´s surface.

The Everwood lights were too
high in the atmosphere.

What´s that, newhart2002?

Oh, that´s just
an Internet thing.

Alright, well,
what else have we got?

Um, how about ball lightning,
meteor showers, renegade comets?

Well, that´s about
as likely as aliens.

Well, Grandma, I think the
Internet has taken us...

...about as far as it can.

We can´t quit now.
If I don´t come back...

...with a scientific
explanation...

...I have to give Irv 50 bucks
and three hot meals a week.

And we´re talking stove hot,
no microwave.

I´m not suggesting that we quit.

We should take this
investigation to the next level.

Do a little field research.

We could camp out, hang with the
alien freaks. It´ll be fun.

You forgetting the definition
of the term "grounded"?

You eavesdrop now.
Good to know.

What do you say, Junior? You
gonna give my granddaughter...

...permission to go
off base tomorrow?

You of all people should know...

...when a child is grounded...

...it is the equivalent
of a prison sentence.

That means no telephone, no TV,
and absolutely no going out.

Well, where we´re going, there
are no phones, no television.

And with me as chaperone...

...it´ll be more like
a prison than a prison.

It´s practically
like homework, Dad.

Fine, fine, you may go.

And since it is practically
like homework...

...I want a thousand-word typed,
double-spaced report...

...on the mystery
of the Everwood lights

on my desk by Monday morning.

You´ve got to be kidding me.

That´s the deal.
Take it or leave it.

Fine. I´ll take it.

Alright. Tomorrow night,
1800 hours sharp.

-Good choice, Junior.
-Yeah. As if I ever had one.

[PLAYING "MOONLIGHT SONATA"
THIRD MOVEMENT ON PIANO]

[STUDENTS APPLAUD]

It´s better, but not exactly
up to snuff, Kate.

I´d log in some more
rehearsal time

before tomorrow if I were you.

Speaking of which,
I´ve made my decisions...

...on the playing order,
so listen up.

Hank, Daniel, Evelyn...

...Afton, Chris, Laura...

...Kate.

And, Ephram, you´re our anchor.
Do us proud.

What did I tell you?

MATT: Laura, you wanna go next?
LAURA: Okay.

[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC
ON PIANO]

-Bravo. Bravo.
-Thank you.

Thank you.
I´d like to thank the academy.

I´d like to thank Mama Joy´s
for supporting my fry habit.

I´d like to thank my teacher for
taking a chance on a no-name.

Love to take the credit,
but it´s all you.

Well, I´m obviously a raw
genius, but--

Don´t forget humble.

But I´m not the best player,
which begs the question:

Why´d I get the finale?

You want me to give it
to someone else?

No, but Kate´s obviously
a better player.

Kate´s terrific, but that comes
from hours of practice

She has diligence,
you have a gift.

Sucks for her, cool for you.

-It´s that simple?
-Such is life.

So, what are we gonna
tackle next?

I gotta tell you, I´m not
loving Schubert right now.

That won´t be up to me.

Gonna let me to pick out my own
music? Sweet, bring on the jazz.

Actually, I wasn´t gonna tell
you this until tomorrow...

...but this is our last lesson.

I got another job, Ephram.

I didn´t even know you were
looking. Well, when? Where?

A conservatory in London
I applied to...

...is finally interested.

So I´m packing up
and flying out of here.

Oh....

Happened kind of fast, eh?

I met the people
in New York a few months ago.

It was just something
I´ve been working on.

Anyway.

I guess Everwood can´t compete
with London, right?

Well, Madonna lives there
for a reason.

Well, it´s gonna suck losing one
of the three people...

...I can carry on
a conversation with.

That´s why God invented e-mail.

Let´s try that last chord
progression one more time...

...and then you´re free.

[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC
ON PIANO]

I know the perfect place
where we can get the best view.

It´s just past Miller´s Field.

We should´ve the whole place
to ourselves.

Grab that tent, would you?

-What´s the plan for tonight?
-Recon.

The first thing we gotta do is
get a better look at the lights.

I packed my telescope.
I thought we´d take pictures.

That´s a great idea.

So how about you go on, do the
telescope thing by yourself...

...and I will meet you later,
take the pictures?

I´m better with a camera.

What do you mean, later?
Where are you gonna be?

I thought I´d go help Colin
on this test he´s got on Monday.

I figured that
you´d understand...

...because we know
that me being grounded...

...is another one of my dad´s
lame power moves, right?

Amy, I suddenly feel like
I´m being hornswoggled...

...and I don´t like it one bit.

No, that´s not
how it is at all, Grandma.

You thought you could manipulate
me into letting you see Colin.

This whole X-File reunion tour
was just so you could use me.

I didn´t use you, I need you.
There´s a difference.

Well, sell that to someone
who buys malarkey.

Get in the truck.

You´re seriously
not gonna let me?

Seriously.

Can I call and tell him
I´m not gonna make it?

-No.
-Why not?

Grandma, I thought you
understood me.

I thought I did too.

Fine, then take me home
because--

Forget it.

We are going camping, we´re
gonna figure out those lights.

And we´re gonna do it together
whether you like it or not.

Truck.

[AMY SIGHS]

No, it´s gonna be fine, Chuck.
You have nothing to worry about.

You´re in very, very good hands
with Dr. Abbott.

-You´re pulling all my hair out.
-You do it sweetheart, okay?

So meet him at my office
at 9:00...

...and I´ll call you tomorrow
afternoon...

...to see how it went, okay?

Alright, good luck.

Hey, you´re looking sharp.

Is that Matt´s present?

Yeah, I´ll give it to him after.

-What´d you get him?
-This old map of London.

It´s cool-looking.

That´s thoughtful.
I´m sure, he´ll appreciate it.

So you nervous?

Well, I had a couple belts of
whiskey to take the edge off.

Good. I figured
you might be nervous.

And I dropped those cups off
at the concert hall for you.

Well, you´ve done a fine job
with the cups.

Mom would be proud.

So how many people R.S.V.P.´d
for this thing?

Is this a trick question?

Because you asked me to
disinvite everyone yesterday...

...so I did.

-You did? Nobody else is coming?
-I did what you told me.

You didn´t want anyone to come.
You told me. I´ve a witness.

Don´t look at me, I´m working.

-No, I mean, it´s no big deal.
-Wait a minute, maybe we can--

No, it´s fine.
Forget it, really.

There´s still time--

[CAR HORN HONKS]

It´s Matt.
I´ll see you guys there.

I´m gonna get a ride with him,
alright?

Come on, sweetheart.
Let´s go.

But the recital´s not
for another hour.

We´ve got plenty of time.

No, we don´t.
We gotta go find an audience.

Mother.

My God.

Mr. Dodd...

...it´s difficult
to conduct a sleep clinic

if you do not go to sleep.

-I´m trying, Dr. Abbott.
-Well, what is it you need?

An Ambien? Some warm milk?
Shall I recite Goodnight Moon?

I can´t sleep without my Betsy.

Oh, you must be kidding.

CHUCK:
I need Betsy.

If I don´t have my arm around
her, I can´t sleep.

Do you have to have her
next to you?

Doctor, I appreciate the offer,
but I really need my wife.

No, I was offering you a pillow.

Fine, fine.
Let´s go find your Betsy.

AMY: Well, so much for having
the whole place to ourselves.

MAN:
Yeah. Okay.

AMY: Can I have some cocoa?
-Sure. Knock yourself out.

AMY:
Thanks. Ahem.

Sorry to bother you,
but I was wondering...

...if you had some matches
I could borrow.

My family´s there. We´re trying
to start a campfire.

-Sure.
-Yeah, sure.

Quite a night. I can´t believe
how many people turned out.

I guess we overestimated the
apathy of the general public...

...where green men are
concerned.

Wonderful, isn´t it?

Nowadays I can´t even get my
kids together for a meal.

And then something like this
comes along.

It is hard to get a family
together these days.

WOMAN: Reminds me
of my fourth abduction, in ´79.

That´s not right, um....

Maybe it was my third.
It´s so hard to keep track.

You have such pretty hair.

-Here´s your matches. Keep them.
-Thank you.

Well, so much
for sleeping tonight.

Mm-hm.

She´s right, though.
Whatever those lights are...

...they brought all these people
together tonight.

It´s pretty impressive.

ANDY:
Amy Abbott!

Did someone just call my name?

ANDY: Edna Harper!

We´re being paged in the forest.

Dr. Brown?

Sorry to crash your mission,
but I need to talk to Amy...

...for a second.

Is everything okay?

Ephram´s piano recital´s tonight
and I´d like you to come.

I know he´d really like you
to be there.

Well, he made it very clear...

...that he didn´t want me
there at all.

Well, I learned
a very valuable lesson...

...which I am now going
to impart to you.

Whatever he says
about his piano recital...

...he means the exact opposite.

Well, I´d love to,
but I promised my grandma

that I´d stay here tonight.
It´s kind of important.

It´s okay, go on ahead.

Well, I don´t wanna abandon you.

I can defend the universe from
an alien invasion all by myself.

Okay, I´ll come back right
after the recital, I promise.

Just don´t figure anything out
without me.

Promise.

ANDY: Right over here.
-Thanks.

-Thanks, Edna.
-Sure.

WOMAN 1: The house opens
in 10 minutes. Get ready.

WOMAN 2:
Hi.

Have you seen Matt?

He´s downstairs making
a phone call.

This fortissimo is killing me.
I don´t know what I´m gonna do.

Matt?

[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC
ON PIANO]

[CROWD APPLAUDING]

Nice job, Ephram.
You were amazing tonight.

Yeah, right.

I mean it.
You really nailed the finale.

What´s your problem?
I´m just saying you did great.

Look, I get it, alright?
I´m not an idiot.

What are you talking about?

Matt gave me that slot...

...because he didn´t wanna blow
his cover by giving it to you.

Your performance was awesome.
You earned the finale.

-I don´t need a pep talk.
-I can´t give you a compliment?

You wouldn´t say
two words to me.

Now you wanna be my best friend?

It´s so obvious
what you´re doing.

Is that so?

Yes. Don´t worry,
I´m not gonna blow your cover.

People will figure out how naive
you´re without me.

You think I´m naive?

If you can´t figure out
why 28-year-old guys...

...date high-school girls,
I can´t help.

Matt and I are in love.

Oh, is that why he´s dumping you
for some lame-ass job in London?

You really don´t get it, do you?
Matt´s not dumping me.

He´s leaving town because my dad
found out about us.

-What, he--?
-Yeah.

But hey, I guess you believe
everything Matt´s ever told you.

Who´s the naive one now?

[WHACKING]

HARRY:
Sweet Betsy.

[GROANING]

Gotcha.

Mrs. Dodd. Mrs. Dodd.

For God´s sake, woman, wake up.

[GROANS]

Why does it smell
like beans out here?

I forgot the eggs.

So we´re having huevos rancheros
minus the huevos.

How was the recital?

I think I fell asleep
before you got back.

It was awesome.

I really think Ephram´s gonna be
a famous piano player one day.

I mean, even bigger than Tori
Amos or that guy from Shine.

Well, I´m glad
you had a good time.

Yeah, and that´s kind of
what I don´t get.

What do you mean?

Well, you´re really mad at me
when I wanted to go see Colin...

...but you had no problem
with me going to see...

...Ephram´s piano recital.

Is that your way of telling me
that I chose the wrong bachelor?

No, I´m not trying
to choose your boyfriends, Amy.

I´m just trying to keep you...

...from losing too much
of yourself...

...while you figure it all out.

You and your dad
are a lot alike.

You´ve both got tunnel vision
like I´ve never seen.

You focus so intently
on one thing...

...that you forget everything
else around you.

And right now your tunnel leads
to Colin and only to Colin.

-Yeah, but I--
-Love him. I know. I know.

I understand.

But there´s a very fine line...

...between devotion
and obsession.

Besides, Colin´s not
the only one who needs you.

Your dad does, I do.

And last night, more than
anyone, Ephram did...

...and you were there for him.

And that´s the kind of person
you´ve always been.

And I just didn´t want you
to forget it.

So basically you´re saying...

...that there´s more
to life than boys?

Well, if you wanna be succinct
about it, sure.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

What is this?

-What? What are we looking at?
-Moths. Look.

There´s millions of them.

Aw, that´s disgusting.

No. It´s the answer.

Remember that article
on the Internet...

...about how sometimes
swarms of bugs...

...can get caught in some kind
of electrical field and glow?

The article even said
the bugs travel in a mass...

...so it looks like
the shape of a UFO...

...which would explain
all the alien theories.

-And totally disprove them.
-Exactly. We did it.

I mean, it was kind of the
article, but we did it.

Wait till I tell Irv.

I should have bet him
two months´ worth of foot rubs.

Wait, maybe we shouldn´t
tell Irv.

Or anybody. Maybe people would
just be happier...

...thinking that
there´s still...

...something magical out there,
you know?

You´re on, sport.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Nice job last night.

-That´s all you got to say?
-What more do you want?

Some honesty would be great.

-I am being honest.
-No, you´re not. You lied.

You lied to me,
you lied to Kate.

All you had to do
was tell me the truth.

-And why should I´ve?
-I deserve it.

No, not where Kate
and I are concerned.

When it came to the music,
to what was important...

...I was honest with you.

Forget the music.

This has nothing to do
with that. I trusted you.

I believed what you told me,
not just about the piano...

...but about life,
about people, everything.

I took your advice to heart
´cause I thought we´re friends.

I´m your friend.

No, I´d not be friends
with somebody like you.

You know what made you cool
to hang out with?

-You didn´t act your age.
-How do you live with yourself?

-Don´t worry about me.
-I´m not.

I´m worried about Kate.

She has no idea
what kind of person you´re.

-And you do?
-You´re a liar.

Don´t be so quick to judge me.

In 10 years
you´ll have done things...

...you never thought possible.

When you´re there
we´ll compare notes.

Screw you.

You´re a better pianist now
than you were two months ago.

My job was to bring out
your abilities.

That´s what I was hired to do.

Is that what you were hired
to do for Kate?

Hey. How´d it go with Chuck?

Ooh....

That well, huh?

What did I tell you about
arguing with lumberjacks?

So Chuck wasn´t the one
with the sleep disorder.

Turns out it was Betsy.

Betsy did this to you?
But she´s so tiny.

Can we keep this conversation
strictly medical?

Of course. So, what was your
final diagnosis?

REM behavior disorder,
a type of parasomnia...

...that involves odd or
dangerous behavior during sleep.

People acting out their dreams.

Except in this case,
Betsy was acting out her anger.

Chuck told her
about going to Alaska.

She was upset, but instead
of talking about it--

She beat the sleeping daylights
out of him.

-Feisty little one, isn´t she?
-That´s one word for her.

What did you prescribe?

A punching bag for Betsy,
plenty of Tylenol for Chuck...

...and a promise that he will
stay in town for the time being.

And as for myself...

...I am going back to my
original medical regimen...

...which means staying
as far away...

...from you as humanly possible.

DELIA: Dad, can I go
to the video store...

...and see if they have
E.T. back yet?

Honey, we rented that film
three times this week.

DELIA:
I told you we should buy it.

Okay, go ahead.

-Kate´s father knows everything?
-Well, supposedly.

Whether that´s true or not,
I have no idea, but....

I´m sorry you got caught up
in the middle of all this.

I feel somehow responsible,
seeing as I chose Matt for you.

Well, did it say "lying scum"
on his resume?

Well, I guess I can´t blame you
for this one.

Well, you choose the next one.

We´ll do a heavy screening
process.

I don´t want
another piano teacher.

Why not? Just because Matt´s a
jerk, doesn´t mean you have to--

It´s more than that. You know,
I don´t know if it´s worth it.

What are you talking about?

What´s the point of becoming
great...

...if you compromise everything
you believe in?

-Who says you´ve to compromise?
-Matt said--

Forget Matt.
He doesn´t know you.

He doesn´t know
what you´re capable of.

And you´re better than him.

You´re a better pianist,
and you´re a better human being.

Am I better than you?
You compromised. Think about it.

Would you have saved
as many lives

if you were home
for dinner every night?

Probably not.

And do you regret it now?
Not being home?

You won´t make
the mistakes I did.

-You don´t know that.
-Yes, I do.

You´re 15 years old, Ephram...

...and you´re already asking
yourself these questions.

It took me 20 years of
neurosurgery...

...the death of your mother...

...and moving to
the middle of nowhere...

...before I even knew
what the questions were.

Now that you know
what the questions are...

...can we please
move back to New York?

Ha, ha. Nice try.

IRV: Despite our fascination
with the beauty of stars...

...most people are
uneducated...

...when it comes to the basic
facts about the heavens.

Some mysteries aren´t meant
to be fully understood.

Some questions
are best never answered.
