that there´s only
one right thing to say.

But as humans, each
with our own idiosyncrasies

we may not always respond
the way the universe

or, say, our parents
want or expect us to.

It is at moments
such as these that we realize

that the truth
has a distinct cost

that can´t be bargained down.

And in these moments,
we must choose

whether to pay
the price.

- There she blows.
- You can say that again.

- Emphasis on blows.
- Well, it was my first choice.

Didn´t have to
go to Denver.

Phil happened
to have one in stock.

- ´Talk about luck.´
- Yeah.

- Voted, "Safest..
- Boat in the Navy?

...car on the road"
1988 and ´89

´by the Association of
Car Consumers and Retailers.´

Yeah, it´s got
heavy steel-gauge doors

independent steel frames.

´Weighs 4000 pounds.´

So, what do you think
of your new wheels, Ephram?

I think it´s really awesome you
getting me a car, dad. It´s ju--

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Go on. Hop in.

Take a ride. Delia and I
can start the paperwork.

- I was just thinking--
- Don´t worry about us.

Go on. Go ahead.
Get acquainted.

Thanks, Phil.

Not what you imagined, huh?

No, it´s two
of what I imagined.

Painted a color called "ugly."

She ain´t much to look at,
that´s true.

- But your girl will like her.
- Well, I don´t have a girl.

I don´t think I´ll be
getting one with this thing.

No offense but this kinda a mojo
killer and I don´t any to spare.

If the girl that´s right
for you, she´ll like this car.

What? Some kind of weed-out?

Thanks, but my face
has that covered.

No, there´s a girl,
who you like, who likes you.

She likes the car.

A specific girl..

...who likes this car?

You...don´t listen to me.

What´s a guy with grease under
his nails know about romance?

Here, hop in.
Your future awaits.

If this is my future, even my
past is starting to look good.

(Andy)
´It may keep you outta school
for a day at the outside.´

What you have, Lester,
is an official

card-carrying case
of influenza normalis.

The common flu.

- Are you certain?
- It sure looks that way.

I have no records of you
and Lester coming in for shots.

Well, the flue clinic conflicted
with his oboe recital.

Ah, the sacrifices
we make for our art.

Listen, take him home, wrap him
up, give him some Tylenol.

Give him lotsa fluids
and electrolytes.

It could be meningitis.

Meningitis? Why?
Has he been exposed?

No, it´s just,
that´s what Phil said he had.

- Who´s Phil? Another doctor?
- The mechanic.

- The guy who sold the Lincoln?
- He´s got the sight.

Well, hearing, actually.
He hears things.

What kind of things?
Like voices?

He might wanna come in
and see me himself.

He was pretty certain about
Lester having meningitis

and, I´d just feel a whole lot
better if you could do a test.

Okay. We aim to please.

Let´s have a look here, Lester.

Nope.

- You have any pain there?
- Uh-uh.

Nope. I gotta
tell you, Mrs. Thompson

Lester´s exhibiting absolutely
no signs of meningitis.

Could you do
a blood test?

We´d do a spinal tap.
You´d need to drive to Denver.

- I´ve no kit.
- Give me the address, I´ll go.

I really don´t think
he has meningitis.

I´ve seen hundreds of cases
of the common flu.

- That´s what he´s got.
- If you won´t test him.

I´ll find a doctor who will.
Phil´s never wrong.

Okay.
I´ll call the hospital.

(Edna)
´Phil Drebbles,
Marcus Welby of the paranormal.´

Phil´s just your average guy,
has a repair shop.

Sells a few cars
here and there.

Some years back,
word gets out

´he has predicted
Sam and Jenny Hess´

´will have a male child
before the year´s out.´

Only, everyone knows
Jenny can´t get pregnant

on account of her ovaries
were malformed at birth.

By Saint Patrick´s Day,
Jenny knew she was pregnant.

And around Halloween,
Baxter was born.

Well, you can imagine

the whole town beat a path
to Phil´s repair shop.

Finally, about
eight months or so later

he makes the mother
of all predictions.

A flood is gonna hit Everwood.

Well, by now,
his word is golden.

Everybody packs up,
evacuates the town.

And?

- No flood.
- Not a drop.

Drought that year,
as I recall.

[humming]

♫ O-o-o ♫

♫ Oh-h ho-o ♫

[rock music]

♫ When you said
you were afraid of drowning.. ♫

- What are you doing here?
- I brought you your jacket.

I´m not cold.

- How´d know where we were?
- Madison left a note.

Yeah, for dad.

She finally let me watch and now
she might change her mind.

♫ You were pulled under ♫♫

(Madison)
´Okay. Take five.´

- ´That was pretty tight.´
- Ephram.

Left the house?
Was it on fire?

Delia forgot her jacket.

- So, what´d you think?
- Um, uh..

No, I mean, I think it´s good.

- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.

Maybe, if we could get that
hook not to sound like ass.

- Be right back. Smoke break.
- Don´t go too far.

I wanna do that one again.

If you could slow down
as we head outta the verse.

- It´s starting to sound punk.
- That´s what makes it cool.

Can we try it that way once?

I joined this band because
you gave me the impression

it was gonna be collaborative.

- It is collaborative.
- No, it isn´t.

We spoke what we both thought.
Now, we´re doing it your way.

- ´Only if it´s better.´
- ´According to you.´

According to the band.
That´s how it works.

It works for you.
For me, it doesn´t work.

- I´m gone.
- Chuck´s here only for an hour.

No. You have him
for an hour. I quit.

Hang out here with Ephram
while I talk to my friend, huh?

- It´s okay. I´ll take her home.
- Thanks, Ephram. I owe you one.

So do I have to ride
in your car?

(Louise)
"The proliferation
of 15-minute coffee breaks

"to include more than
three per day.

"or the extension
of breaks to encompass

"greater than
20 minutes of downtime

"in the span of
a three-hour period

Thank you, Louise.

Moving on to this month´s
management topics..

There´s something
left uncovered in the

October Management Summit
of 2003?

I´m stunned.

It´s a shame you inherited your
sense of humor from our mother.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Amy?

You at school?

What?

Where are you now?

Oh, my God. Alright.

I´m coming right away.
Just stay right where you´re at.

´Right near that phone.
In fact, give me that number.´

Don´t move. Anyone approaches
you, you call 911.

I´ll be there as soon as I can.

I´ve gotta go get Amy
and I need you to take me.

- So I can drive her back.
- Why? Where is she?

Wyoming.

This isn´t the first time Jay´s
walked out. He loves drama.

How long´s he been
with the band?

He came in few months ago
to replace Kip

who moved to Oregon
to find himself.

How 1978.

- If he´s not coming back--
- Then the band sounds okay?

He was so off. He was like,
"You need to change the tempo"?

It was him. He plays like he´s
on speed. He´s holding you down.

Down? I thought
you said we sounded good.

Well, you do sound good.
I was...I just...I just mean..

What did you mean, Ephram?

He´s just not as good
as you guys, that´s all.

And how good is that, exactly?

So, what culinary delight are
you preparing for us, Madison?

No, it´s fine. Ephram, I want
you to tell me the truth.

Well, I think you guys
need a better guitarist.

- And?
- And..

And a better sound
and better songs and..

Doctor, casserole´s in the oven.
It´ll be ready in ten minutes.

The vegetables
should be done by then.

Rice is on the stove.
Check it. See you tomorrow.

You might wanna work
on your bedside manner.

- You cleared the room.
- I noticed. Thank you.

Set the table, doofus,
if you can even do that.

[phone ringing]

Andy Brown.

´Oh, really?´

Bacterial or viral?

´So you have him
quarantined there?´

Alright, thank you.
I´ll check in again tomorrow.

- What is it, dad?
- Oh, nothing.

A patient
I diagnosed with the flu

has life-threatening meningitis.

And Phil,
the mechanic, is psychic.

Here.

- I´m not cold.
- I know. Put it on anyway.

Got here as fast as we could,
which wasn´t very fast.

You realize we´re
no longer in Colorado

we´re in another state.

What are we doing here, Amy?

I don´t..

I don´t know.

I left my practice for a day,
so did your aunt Linda

to rescue you
from this little excursion

so you might
wanna give it some thought.

I was going to school, and..

I was watching all of the kids
going inside it.

The day starting.

Only I was outside...
like watching them

and I couldn´t
imagine myself inside it. So..

...I just kept driving.

What is happening to you, Amy?
Are you angry with us?

- Are you trying to hurt us?
- No.

- Do you need more attention?
- No.

Then what´s going on?

Come on.

If you could tell me
what´s going on.

Tell me what you´re feeling.

´Well..´

Come on.

Let´s go home.

Come on.

[slow music]

[pleasant music]

I see kids´ flu symptoms
aren´t the only things you fix.

Hey, doc.
How´s your boy liking that car?

Just loves it.
Couldn´t be happier.

Glad to hear it.

Listen, Phil,
about the Thompson kid.

I don´t know what I´m thanking
you for exactly, but, um..

...you were right.

´He had meningitis.´

He was completely asymptomatic.
Five hours later, he was

´at a hospital in Denver
with his neck really stiff.´

They diagnosed it
before they did the tap.

´So I guess you could say
you averted an epidemic.´

Glad to hear it.

So I just wanted to..

...to thank you for...whatever.

The nurse at school was very
grateful when I told her.

You told Hazel?

Great. There´ll be
a mob here by lunch.

So, listen...
how did you do it?

Is it some kind of
perception thing?

- Or do you read body language?
- Clairaudient.

Always have been,
pretty much.

- Clairaudient? What is that?
- Hear things.

Just words, phrases.

- Stuff that´s gonna happen.
- But all the time or just?

I mean, do you have to make
an effort like going online?

Well, it´s like hearing
a voice in your head

telling you things
you know are true.

Well, what kind of things?
I mean..

...can you hear
things about me right now?

You don´t wanna
get into this, right?

No, I mean, I´m just curious.
From a scientific standpoint.

- I´m not a sideshow, doc.
- Come on, there´s no pressure.

Just-just give it
the old college try.

You´re gonna get a kiss
you´ve been waiting for.

From who?

What are you talking about?
What kind of kiss?

You mean like a kiss-kiss?

And you´ll break a promise.

I mean, this is it?
This is like fortune cookies.

Are you sure about this stuff?

And watch out
for that file folder.

Something like that
could take your head off.

- What are you guys playing?
- Spit.

Go ahead, tell her
how much she sucks at it.

Look, last night, what I said,
I...I-I didn´t-I mean..

I think you´re a great singer
and I shouldn´t have said that.

I´m sorry.

Was that an apology?

- It was supposed to be. Yeah.
- Not great.

A rough draft. I was gonna
polish it a give it later.

It´s okay, Ephram.

I´m just sensitive
about my music

because I really want it
to be good, you know?

And I guess I thought
like every other

garage band
from Podunk, U.S.A.

that I could use it
to get me outta here.

I understand that.

Yeah, but with piano,
you can take that

and you can use it a million
different ways. I need a band..

...and with Jay gone..

Well, maybe I could help out.

I could sit in on
a session or something.

That´s cool of you
to offer but--

No, I could
rearrange stuff, whatever.

He´s better than you think.

Are you sure you´re up for this?

Well, I don´t know
if it´s gonna help but..

You know what? We could use
all the help we get.

I´ll call the guys.
Thanks, Ephram.

Be right back, Delia.
No cheating.

What?

Boys are so obvious.

(Harold)
´Rose thinks we should try
anti-depressants.´

They´re working for Laynie Hart.

I think Amy´s different.

I believe that
her depression is situational.

´We set the precedent
of medicating her´

´outta every rough spot,
then how´d she develop those´

coping skills that
she needs to get by in life?

Lin, I feel like
we´re losing her.

I´d like to try to help her.

With all due respect,
because I´m sure..

...that there are some people,
maybe, that do get something

out of the tea
and the energy.

Harry, I know
you don´t believe in this

but you believe in me, right?

Would you at least let me try?

♫ I was sure when meant
you feared the weight of water ♫

♫ For you I´d cast myself-- ♫♫

[guitar solo]

´Jay.´

Jay!

What? It´s boring.

´I´m just trying to...
I don´t know, do something.´

It´s not boring,
it´s just not good.

(Jay)
´We sound like every wannabe
band from here to Boulder.´

Yeah, except some of them
sound like they practice.

Take ten, everybody.

[band members chattering]

Well, thank God
the mad genius is back.

You guys can really use
a visionary like him.

He likes his
presence being felt.

Oh, believe me,
I´m feeling it.

You still think you can help us?

Well, right now
you´re going like this.

But why not try
repeating the four chord

after the five chord
before going back to the one.

More like..

[piano music]

...that.

The chorus, repeat the chords.

Try making
the bass line interesting.

Maybe a G chord
with a B bass?

Which would be like that.

[piano music]

Why didn´t you tell me
you were some kind of prodigy?

Well, prodigy would imply youth
while I´m actually an old soul.

At least, somebody
once told me that.

So..

[piano music]

...you like it?

Yeah.

[piano music continues]

Hey. Hi, mom.
Could I grab the keys?

- I need the truck tonight.
- Again?

Moving may be
the worst idea I´ve ever had.

Was it ever a good idea?
To anyone?

Sure you wouldn´t
take Irv´s rifle?

Don´t tempt me.

You know, I´ve actually never
been through a major move.

Julia moved us
to the apartment in New York.

And then when we moved here,
I hired a moving company.

They packed up our stuff and
drove it here and unpacked it

and, eh...we were moved.

I-I gotta go.

- What was that for?
- Your wake-up call, bozo.

What´re you waiting for,
her to toss a glass slipper?

What?

Look, you like Linda.

She likes you.

You both are nincompoops
who do nothing about it.

What should I do? I offered to
help her, she didn´t want it.

You´re a grown man
with a post-graduate degree.

Figure it out.

Well, the thing is, I..

I promised Delia
I wouldn´t go out with her.

You also promised Delia a horse.

I don´t see Mr. Ed
galloping around here.

Besides, you know, I think
you might be overestimating

Linda´s..

I know that girl.
I know how she looks

when she´s excited
about something.

For reasons unknown,
given your complete incompetence

in the dating arena

she´s excited about you.

- You really think so?
- Oh, for Pete´s sake.

The idea behind meditation
is that great rewards

can come from stillness.

The act of doing nothing.

- I keep thinking about stuff.
- That´s okay.

Whenever a thought
pops into your head

you just recognize it
as a thought

and then you just let it go.

Okay, so do you wanna set
an intention before we start?

Is it okay if...what
I want is nothing?

You don´t feel like you´re
gonna get anything out of it?

No, I mean, if my goal
is to feel nothing.

I´ll tell you what.
Why don´t we just..

...start and explore.

So, put your hands
on your knees, palms up.

Close your eyes

and just gently focus
on your breath.

How long is it supposed to take?

I have an idea. I have some
music that I found in India

that might make this more fun.

I´ll see if I can dig it out.
I´ll be right back.

[slow music]

- The moving party is here?
- You´re not Irv.

You know, your powers of
perception are amazing, doctor.

´When he told me
he was tempting fate´

doing your heavy lifting,
I said I´d fill in.

- Hope you don´t mind.
- Sure.

- You up for manual labor?
- Yeah, I´m pretty handy.

Is this the last of it?
I´m getting off pretty easy.

Eh...not quite.

So when you said you
travel light, you meant?

Well, that I keep it
all in storage.

I tried to embrace
the Buddhist live simply thing

but then I started
collecting Buddhas.

Yeah, enlightenment
requires a lot of props.

- You still up for it?
- Oh, yeah.

I´m so up for it.

When Phil said take it off,
I think he meant cancer.

He meant the bunion, take off
the bunion. Come back Tuesday.

What if it´s
a malignant growth?

It´s a bunion.
Now, get out of here.

Make room for the next
fraud-loving crazy on the list.

- ´Who´s next, Louise?´
- Doctor, I have to see you.

Before the pharmacy closes.

I need erythromycin
for a rash I´m about to get

which will be like
hives and very painful

and contagious,
according to Phil.

- Oh, fine. That´s it.
- Oh, dear.

Louise, Louise,
I´m having a premonition.

I´m seeing the rest of today´s
appointments being cancelled.

You can all go home.
Just leave me alone.

You´re all fine. You´ll all
recover unfortunately.

´Excuse me. Gullibility police.
Stand aside.´

Yes, real doctor coming through.

Listen, Phil.

Phil. Excuse me.
I don´t know who died

and made you C. Everett Koop

but the panic you are
arousing in my patients

and other hapless
members of this community

it has to stop.

It wasn´t my intention
to worry anyone.

Did you think that
fraudulently diagnosing them

with everything from gout to
terminal illness is soothing?

You´re whipping people
into a frenzy for no reason

thereby wasting my time
and their resources.

But the things
I tell them are true.

Yes, in your mind, they are true
but you´re not a doctor.

You are a mechanic. You may have
special insights with regards

to exhaust
and cooling systems

but when it comes to the
human anatomy and physiolo--

Hello, Phil? Are you listening?
I am conversing with you.

Someone very close
to you is sick.

What?
Wha--

Of course they are. That´s
a statistical inevitability.

Unless you´re a hermit
or an orphan. How dare you--

[phone ringing]

Yeah, yeah, Dr. Abbott here.

Yeah, how can I help you?

What? No, I´m sorry.
What prescription? For whom?

No, well, are you sure
that it´s Amy Abbott?

Because I did not write
any such prescription

nor did Dr. Linda Abbott.

Well, yes, I am sure,
no one else.

Uh..

Let me get back to you.

[soft rock music]

♫ When you said you were
afraid of drowning ♫

♫ I was sure
you meant you feared ♫

♫ The weight of water ♫

♫ For you I´d cast
myself to sea ♫

♫ I´ll let the waves
devour me ♫

♫ But I had lost
what I believed ♫

♫ You were pulled under ♫

♫ You were pulled under ♫♫

[crowd cheering]

That was great.
That was so great.

That was pretty cool.

God, Ephram, your song,
your song was the best.

It was your song,
I just tweaked it a bit.

No, yours was the best. You´re
working on "Joker" with me.

Sure. What are you doing now?
You wanna a Coke or something?

That was great, babe.
You coming over?

Yeah, after I help
these guys pack up.

I guess I better get going,
I´ll see you tomorrow.

Why didn´t you tell me
Jay was your boyfriend?

He´s not my boyfriend.
We just hang out sometimes.

Like now? When his tongue
is so far down your throat

that I thought I was gonna
have to give you oxygen?

And tell you why?

I wouldn´t have talked
about him before you.

Jay can be a jerk.
You know, I talk about him too.

No, that´s different. Besides,
you should´ve told me because--

Because what?

Because at the DMV,
I kissed you.

I mean, that meant something.

Ephram..

...maybe it did to you.

It can´t mean anything.

Anything real,
anything more than what it was.

You should´ve told me.
You lied to me.

I didn´t lie to you.
I just didn´t mention it.

´You know, we´re not
friends that way.´

´You´re older than your sister
but you´re still young enough´

´to be somebody I look after.´

You have a crush, okay,
that´s what this is.

That´s what you have
when you´re 16.

- ´You understand?´
- Perfectly.

(Harold)
´I got a call today
from the Cloverton Pharmacy.´

They wanted to know if they
could substitute a generic

for Amy Abbott´s
anti-depressant prescription.

Which they said
Dr. Linda Abbott had written.

- Dad, I--
- What were you thinking?

Do you realize that by forging
a prescription in her name

you could´ve been responsible
for her losing her license?

- Did you think about that?
- Did she?

- We haven´t told Linda.
- Because it would´ve upset her.

It would´ve disgusted her.
She is one of the few bridges

that you haven´t
burned recently.

- I didn´t think that--
- Yeah, what did you think?

You think about anyone? Think
about anybody but yourself?

I am shocked at this behavior,
even for you recently, it´s..

´It´s gone from
irresponsible to criminal.´

- I´m sorry.
- "I´m sorry"?

- You have gotta be kidding me.
- Let her speak.

I wanted to feel better.
Like Laynie.

That stuff Aunt Linda
was doing wasn´t working.

You could have asked.
You could have talked to us.

- I did ask. You said no.
- ´Well, so it´s our fault?´

Of course, you don´t take any
responsibility for your actions.

You blame other people.
You blame...Colin.

You blame Dr. Brown,
you blame us.

No. Now, I just blame you.

Fine. Fine,
I´ll write you a prescription.

Harold.

What? What else
do you want me to do?

´You´re tired of doing nothing.
Amy´s tired of doing nothing.´

And I am completely
out of ideas.

If this is what will make
this whole thing go away..

´...then fine. Fine.
Let´s make it go away.´

Yeah. Here.
A prescription for Amy Abbott.

Amy Abbott, not my daughter,
wherever she is.

She would never
have done this.

Mom.

(Andy)
´When people moved me´

´it was like little elves
working while I slept.´

One minute I was in New York
and the next I´m here.

´And not a single box
did I see.´

Well, I probably won´t move
again for another year.

You mean, I gotta
do this again in 12 months?

I don´t have a tendency to
stay in one place for very long.

Is that why
I´m drinking outta a mug?

You´re lucky it´s not Styrofoam.

Um..

See this?

It´s the only thing I had with
me the whole time I was away.

- What is it?
- Keepsakes.

Things that mean something to
me, as much as I could carry.

Don´t keep me in suspense.
What made the list?

Oh, it´s just junk.

It has no value
to anybody but me.

Come on. Show me.
I mean, if you want to.

- ´It´s my favorite book.´
- The Little Prince.

- A good one.
- Had it in French too.

But I gave it to
this kid in Guinea.

Little con artist
but I couldn´t turn him down.

And this is the four of us,
when Harry and I were young.

- He looked like Alfalfa.
- Yeah, looks.

And let´s see, this is..

Was a..

A friend, a friend that I lost.

I´ve lost a lot of people.

That´s how it works in places
like that. You move so much

it´s like chunks of your life
just fall away.

This would be so much more
daunting if you weren´t here.

Thank you.

I do what I can.

You´re a kind man.

No, I´m not.
I´m...just..

I am gonna refill your
wine glass. You´re nearly empty.

Hey, Phil? Phil.

- I´m not available.
- As psychic or mechanic?

- You got car trouble?
- No.

One of those things you said
actually came true.

- No kidding.
- So, I tried the second--

- What do you mean you tried?
- Well, I followed your advice.

I don´t give advice.

Okay, look.

When I took the steps that would
likely lead me along the path

that you predicted,
it didn´t work.

That kiss that
I was supposed to get?

Never showed up. You got it
right with the meningitis thing.

How come I got
gypped on the kiss?

This is why I hate
telling people stuff.

You know, sometimes I think
it just screws it all up.

I never wanted to get back
into this racket.

I knew that kid was sick.
I had to say something.

Why couldn´t it just end there?

Well...the thing is

if people think you know
some truth about them

they´re gonna
wanna know what it is.

People wanna know the truth

about what happened
to their long-lost brother

or why their kid hates them
or if their wife is cheating

but knowing only
makes them unhappy.

They don´t really
want the truth.

They just want good news.

I don´t know.
I just wanna fix cars.

Maybe I ought to move.

Been thinking
a lot about Arizona.

Nobody knows me in Tucson.

Well, what happened last time?
When you predicted that flood?

I heard it clear as a bell.

And nothing happened?

Oh, no, it happened.

In Houston.

It´s too bad you can´t
just predict another one.

Well, it seems like
that´d lack credibility.

But what if it were
something different?

For instance, say..

...an avalanche?

Avalanche.

Whoa, looks like a tornado
rolled through here.

I´m still not
finished unpacking.

Say that again. Here.
I brought you a housewarming.

- It´s not wrapped.
- How´d you know?

- It´s just what I needed.
- Yeah, yeah.

´Listen, I´m not gonna
beat around the bush´

mainly because
I don´t know how. But..

You and Andy Brown
could have a good thing going

if you would wake up
and smell the coffee.

- Beg your pardon?
- Irv thinks you´re lonely.

So, if that´s true

the solution´s right
in front of your face.

- I don´t think so.
- I do.

He likes you. You like him.

Any blockhead can see it.

- It´s not that simple.
- Sure it is.

Why does everybody make things
so complicated these days?

´They´re not.
I liked the looks of Irv.´

He liked the looks of me.
We´re hitched.

- Well, you were lucky.
- ´No, we weren´t neurotic.´

We didn´t put up roadblocks
and then stumble around them.

I´m not putting up
my own roadblocks.

You sure as hell
aren´t taking any down.

You don´t know
anything about it.

Well, then tell me.

I have a disease.

Is that what this is all about?

Hep A couldn´t kill a flea.

Besides, you´re not
gonna give it to Andy.

It´s not hep A.

It´s HIV.

I contracted it while
I was working in Africa

but I went on
the cocktail right away.

And my counts are good.
I may never be symptomatic.

But still, I can´t
bring Andy into this.

I can´t bring anyone in.

- Why didn´t you tell me?
- There´s nothing anyone can do.

I don´t want the town to
know me as the once who´s sick.

I´m not the whole town.

I didn´t wanna worry you.

To most people, it still
sounds like a death sentence.

But I´m fine. I´m really fine.

I´m your mother.

You don´t say things because you
think I´ll solve your problems.

You tell me because
you need someone to tell.

For three years,
you´ve lived alone with this?

See? I knew you would worry.

- I´m okay.
- You don´t have to be okay.

But I am. I´m fine.
I´m home. I´m doing great.

You don´t have to be strong.

You´re not alone
with this anymore.

She´ll never be much
to look at, I´m afraid.

Thanks for the encouragement.

You know,
it doesn´t matter, though.

A car like this, it´s not what´s
on the outside that counts.

The thing about big cars is
they´ve gotta a lot of room

which is good
for friends and movies.

Road trips.

You can fit a whole
lotta life into this car.

That´s what makes her cool.

I´m sorry,
that I upset you, Ephram.

Especially after you were so
cool about the band and all.

I handled it wrong.
I should´ve told you.

So why didn´t you?

´Cause here´s the thing.
You´re awesome.

You´ve got it all, all the stuff
that girls are looking for.

But?

But you´re 16

and I work for you dad and I
take care of your sister

- And I´m responsible for you.
- No, you´re not.

Yeah, I am..

...in a way.

Can you just see
where I´m coming from?

You´re younger than me..

...and no matter how mature
you are for your age

or how much
of an old soul you may be

´some maturity
just comes with time.´

Ephram, you don´t even know me.

Well, I might not know
everything about you

but I do know some things.

You´re the only person that
makes my little sister think

it´s okay to be a girl.

I know how you feel..

...when you sing because
it´s how I feel when I play.

All you really want from Jay
is for him to get you

and he never will. The thing
he´s interested is himself.

All this stuff about me being
young is just you being afraid.

It´s easier for you to say I´m
young than to risk something

that´s not what
you thought you wanted.

But most of all, I know that..

...ever since
I kissed you at the DMV

every time I´ve seen you,
I´ve wanted to kiss you again.

And I don´t know for sure

but I´m pretty certain
that...you have too.

Thought so.

- ´Keep moving.´
- ´We´ve gotta get out of here.´

(Andy)
I´ll be right back, you guys.
Hold on.

[people chattering]

The things you´ve gotta do
to keep a mechanic.

Just when you thought it was
safe to unpack your boxes.

- Good help´s hard to find.
- Yeah.

How far do you think
they´ll get before they realize?

Conservatively, Montana.

- I gotta get going.
- You gotta beat the traffic.

Listen, Linda..

...the thing is I like you.

That´s really
all there is to it.

I´m sorry if
last night was awkward.

Maybe, it took you
by surprise.

It kind of took me
by surprise because I..

I never thought
I´d feel this stuff again

or anything like it.

- That part of my life--
- I think that--

Let me finish, alright?

You may not know
how you feel or maybe you do

and have reservations
and if that is the case

then whatever
those reservations are

I respect them.

Or maybe you just
don´t feel the same way.

But I know how I feel.

So I had to tell you.

And I hope that´s alright.
