Hello?

Anybody home?

Delia?

Ephram?

(Irv)
Holidays are a time
we enact age-old rituals

solemn rites passed down from
one generation to the next.

A time for family and friends
and good cheer.

They´re also a time
for giving and receiving

a time for surprises.

Who finds Hanukkah paper in
Everwood? That´s right. I do.

Some surprises
are hidden in boxes

wrapped up in colorful
paper and ribbons.

Still others we carry inside,
concealed in our own hearts

while we wait for just the
right moment to reveal them.

-´What are you laughing at?´
-´You´.

(Ephram)
´What about me?´

(Ephram)
´I don´t think so.´

Hello?

See? Nobody´s home.
I told you.

No. I have to get
Delia from next door

and your dad could
come home any minute.

- Your nose is all red.
- We can´t. We made a pact.

I can´t be tied to some pact
when you´re standing here

looking cute with a red nose.
I´m sorry. I can´t.

(Madison)
´We said we wouldn´t do
anything.´

-What if your dad comes?
-I locked the door.

He´ll figure that out.
The man is a brain surgeon.

Don´t let the fancy title
fool you. He´s clueless.

We could make out on top of him,
he´d have no idea.

- He´ll figure it out.
- He´s not gonna figure it out.

He´s in his own world.
I spilled soda on the couch.

He told me to clean it.
Instead, I waited till he left

and I flipped the pillow over.
The man is dense.

(Madison)
´Be thankful you have
a cool dad.´

(Ephram)
´Sure. He´s cool when
you´re here from 6 to 9.´

Come by in the morning, you´ll
be astounded by his lameness.

-Ephram, we can´t. It´s wrong.
-Okay. Okay.

I´ll tell my dad about us
if you promise to teach me

that tongue-curl thing
you were talking about.

Okay. Five minutes.
Then we get back to Delia.

- Dad.
- Dr. Brown.

What the hell is going on?

Unfortunately, not all
surprises are good ones.

[theme music]

[music continues]

This is beyond unacceptable.

This is in some other universe
of unacceptability.

I think you might be
overreacting a little bit.

I think not. You think
this is another example

of my uncool lameness
but I don´t think

it would be possible
to overreact to this.

How long it´s been going on?

Not long.
I wanted to tell you.

Yeah, I heard, right after
the tongue-curling lessons.

Good thing I was in the closet.

You spying on me? What happened
to the right to privacy?

When you´re 16,
there is no privacy.

This is why there´s no privacy
when you´re 16. This!

This whole thing
was an accident.

It started out as
kind of a kissing thing

and then it just
kind of--

- This is none of your business.
- None of my business?

She´s 20. You´re 16.
I hired her.

I brought her into my house.

Aiding and abetting a felony
makes it my business.

So what? Would it be better
if I was having sex

with somebody my own age?

Dr. Brown, I swear we did not
have sex. No sex at all.

The fact of the matter is,
Madison isn´t your age.

And that makes all the
difference.

My first thought is to fire you
and then to kill you.

And maybe kill you a little too.

Here´s what we´re going to do.

Firing you would
be unfair to Delia

who´s the only one
I don´t wanna suffer for this.

Whatever has been going on
between you two

is over as of now.

- No. No way.
- Completely and permanently.

We are going to go back in time

before any of this ever happened

and we are going to start over.
Is that understood?

- This is bull--
- Totally.

This whole thing was a mistake.
It never should´ve happened.

- I´m sorry, Dr. Brown.
- You should go home now.

´And, Ephram, go to your room.´

- Wait, Madison.
- Don´t do it.

You even think about it

she´s fired and you´re
grounded for life.

Crumbs. Watch the crumbs.

Relax. It´s just
Grandma and Pop Pop.

I´ll relax when they´ve
gone home or died.

- I like Grandma Roberts.
- As it should be.

To you, she´s a sweet,
doting grandmother.

To others, she´s
a 70-year-old thorn.

An impacted, infected,
painful thorn.

We´re home.

- Hello, sweetheart.
- Hey, Grandma.

Hey, Pop Pop.

So, Harold, you sent Rose
to pick us up by herself.

Are you not feeling well?

Sorry to disappoint,
but I´m perfectly healthy

Mother Roberts.

´Could you get our bags,
darling?´

I know your father
isn´t much for the exerting.

- Sure thing, Grandma.
- So how are you, Herb?

Oh, oh, oh, fine, fine.

- How about a Scotch, huh?
- Yeah, I don´t blame you.

So where´s my beautiful
granddaughter?

- She´ll be here shortly.
- Yes.

I´m sure she will be,
from where she is.

Interesting.

She´s not exactly--

Oh, no need to explain. I´m sure
you know what you´re doing.

Take those to your parents´
room. That´s a good boy.

Our room?
I was thinking you would sleep--

I need to pee.

You know you don´t always
have to buy something.

You could just come in and,
you know, say hi.

I really needed these
thumbtacks.

Really? Really?
For what, may I ask?

For this corkboard thing
I have at my house

that I tack things on. And I
have very delicate thumbs.

Hey, my shift´s
over in 20 minutes

if you wanna hang out
the rest of the day.

I would love to, but my
grandparents just flew in.

I was supposed to be home
a half hour ago.

- Big family turkey thing?
- Yeah, it should be a party.

Three generations
who hate each other

fighting over who gets
the white meat. It´s great.

But it´s probably like
that at your house too.

No, we don´t really
do holidays at my house.

We´re not big
on traditions.

Really? What are you
gonna do tomorrow?

I don´t know.
Probably nothing.

Well, you should
come to my house.

There´s gonna be
a thousand people.

Not like one more
person´s gonna kill anyone.

Plus, my mom makes this
great cranberry thing

that I think
you would love.

You´re really sweet,
you know that?

No, I just...

- I don´t believe we´ve met.
- Grandma.

Edna Harper,
Amy´s favorite grandmother.

Hi. Tommy Callahan.

I gotta get back to work

it was a pleasure
to meet you, Mrs. Harper.

I guess I´ll see you
tomorrow at dinner.

I guess you will.

- Who´s the new co-pilot?
- Nobody. Just a guy.

Just a guy, my boots.

No granddaughter of mine
goes around holding hands

with a guy who´s
just a guy.

See you and your friend at
the big turkey day gorge-athon.

Bye, Grandma.

You´re lucky you burnt only
the outer layer of skin.

This could´ve been
a lot worse, Charlie.

Yeah. Hey, doc.
Say "cheese."

I´m gonna E this to Billy.
He´s such a wuss.

Who´s Billy?

Why would he be interested
in a picture of your foot?

My friend bet me he could do it
longer but he totally bailed.

He barely put his foot on
the coal before he quit.

- Are we done?
- Yep. We´re done.

I´d still like to know why you
burned yourself like this.

A pretty dangerous game
to be playing just for kicks.

We weren´t playing.
We were practicing.

For what?

Me and Billy are
doing the firewalk.

And we decided to try it ahead
of time, just to see.

I don´t understand. I mean,
your father made you do this?

Is this some Thanksgiving
tradition with your family?

No way! Thanksgiving
isn´t exactly big

out on the reservation,
you know?

Your dad bring you in?
I could talk to him.

I took the bus. The doc at
the res would´ve told him.

That´s why I came here.
You´re free, right?

Yeah, But I´d still like
to talk to your father.

With your foot in this mess
you shouldn´t be placing bets.

Well, I gotta do it now.

- Hey, can I have a cane?
- Sorry, we´re all out.

- How about some crutches?
- Those are lame. It´s all good.

Am I missing
something here, Edna?

I know that conditions on
reservations can be rough

but this seems so outdated.

Oh, boy. Here we go.

If you think his tribe needs to
be dragged into the modern era

the reservation
is out on Highway 70.

Go give them hell,
Big Chief Nosey Pants.

It sounds like the music from
when they killed Bambi´s mom.

It´s normal for people to get
depressed around the holidays.

That´s a good-looking
pilgrim you got there.

It´s the eyelashes.
It makes them prettier.

Hey, you´re running low
on construction paper.

It´s okay. I have
more in my room.

Well, if you go get it,
I´ll help you guys out.

- Madison.
- Please, don´t.

Don´t what? I´m trying to figure
out what´s going on.

Nothing´s going on.
It can´t. You heard your dad.

Screw him. I don´t care
what he says.

I care what he says.
He´s not totally wrong.

How could he not be? He doesn´t
even know what we´re about.

We´re not about anything. We
are not anything. Not anymore.

Why? Because he says so?

- You can´t turn off feelings.
- Yeah, I can.

´I don´t believe you.´

Look, I knew that it was wrong.
I knew it wouldn´t work.

Not telling your dad
would make things worse.

I´m three for three.
I´m gonna quit now.

You know, you said you liked me.
You said, I made you undone.

I know it´s a good thing. And I
know it doesn´t just go away.

Not if you really care
about somebody.

There´s no way you don´t still
have those feelings.

- Ephram, I can´t.
- That´s not the same thing.

"Can´t" is because of my dad.
"Don´t" is because of you.

I brought green down too,
just in case.

Can´t or don´t? Just tell me.

Don´t.

That was just about the worst
night of sleep I´ve ever had.

And good morning to you too.

I thought you´d be doing a favor
by letting us sleep in your bed.

But I can´t imagine the
sleeper sofa´s any worse.

It´s a wonder Rose
isn´t in traction.

Oh, and where are you hiding
the good toilet paper?

That stuff you´ve got
is like sackcloth.

I brought the stuff
for the fruit salad, Junior.

You should be more careful.
It´s no good if it´s bruised.

Bruised?

I doubt you can do much
through a can of Del Monte.

How are you, Carol?
How was your trip?

Rose had to pick us up by
herself, but it was uneventful.

You still married
to the black man?

Okay, Mother. Let´s just get
out to the kitchen, shall we?

How your wife was spawned
from that woman´s loins

I´ll never know.

Good thing she inherited
the recessive genes.

She´s insufferable,
absolutely insufferable.

It´s a wonder Herb hasn´t
killed her in her sleep.

I´d testify on his behalf.

I´d visit him in prison
every day to thank him.

Hey, I met Amy´s new boyfriend.
Seems like a nice kid.

Boyfriend? What b--?
Since when does Amy--?

Rein it in there,
cowboy.

She wasn´t on her way
to Vegas in a wedding gown.

He´s just some boy,
works at the drugstore.

Think his name was
Tommy Calla...

Something. Anyway,
you´ll meet him at dinner.

He´s coming to Thanksgiving
dinner? Since when is this--?

You might wanna mix those. I´ll
be back with Irv in a few hours.

Come on, let´s get in there.

Come on.

Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.

Come on.

Pardon me.
I´m looking for Mr. Grey.

Boss.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Looking for a player´s card?
- No. I´m Andrew Brown.

- We spoke on the phone earlier.
- Yes, of course. Welcome.

Thank you.

I´m guessing this
is your first time.

To a casino, no,
but to a reservation...

- This is a reservation, right?
- Yes, it is.

- Is it always this crowded?
- Most days.

We had an accounting convention
last week. Packed.

- The reason I came here--
- Yeah, about Charlie. I know.

He told me about
what happened.

Practicing for
the firewalk. What a nut.

I know I´m involving
myself in a culture

I can´t claim
to understand

but I´d feel remiss
if I didn´t say something

about how dangerous, you know
walking on fire actually is.

This is something we´ve
been doing for centuries.

And we haven´t
lost a foot yet.

You don´t strike me
as a family

that hangs on to
outdated traditions.

See that waitress?

´She´s wearing a Sioux Indian
headdress and Comanche shoes.´

The necklace she has
is from a tribe

that my tribe
used to kill.

It´s a hodgepodge that would´ve
made my grandfather cry.

So much changes,
and so much gets lost.

But you have to grab on
to tradition where you can.

Embrace the new.
Revere the old.

If you revere walking, you´ll
let Charlie wait a few weeks.

Give him some
time to heal.

It´s supposed
to blizzard this weekend.

My son has to walk before
the first knee-high snowfall.

It´s the time of the sojourn
when the gods would guide

the tribe into
the winter encampment.

Plus..

...it´s too late
to cancel the caterers.

Indian bar mitzvah, huh?

I´d hate to tell you
what I spent on the band.

Come on.

I know you´re worried

but my son will do the firewalk,
just like I did before him

and the forefathers
before me.

So how about we set you up
with a few chips on the house.

Maybe you can help us
buy back Manhattan.

- ´Come on, shooter.´
- ´Let´s go.´

- ´Come on.´
- ´You got it, guys. Come on.´

Because you are his cook.

- Absolutely.
- Hey, guys, can I help?

You bet.
Grab a peeler.

Would it be okay if I invited
someone for dinner?

I know it´s kind of short
notice...

- A friend from school?
-Yeah, but he transferred.

- Oh, so it´s a he, is it?
- It´s nothing like that.

It´s just his family´s
kind of messed up.

He was gonna
spend Thanksgiving alone

and I told him your
cranberry sauce is amazing.

Well, it´s true.
It is.

It´d be nice if he could spend
holidays with a family.

You´re always saying holidays
are a time to be charitable.

Of course you can ask him,
sweetheart.

Really? Thanks, Mom.

Wow. Was that Amy
being happy?

Oh, don´t say that word out
loud. You might jinx it.

Amy? Amy, what´s his name?

Tommy Callahan
is coming over for dinner?

- Oh, Man.
- What?

What does that mean, "Oh, man"?

I didn´t know he
got out of rehab.

Amy´s dating an alcoholic?

Oh, no, no, no.
He´s more into drugs.

Got busted last year
with a crapload of crystal meth

like five baggies´
worth of weed.

But he might´ve just been
selling the pot.

So he´s a dealer as well as
a junkie. That´s wonderful.

Are you sure about this?

Because if these
are simply rumors--

He got kicked out
of county two years ago.

- For drugs.
- Tried to burn the school down.

So he´s kind of an arsonist too.
Might wanna hide the matches.

How are those
potatoes coming?

No fingertips in there yet,
I hope.

Ephram, you gotta stand
closer to Madison.

That way you´re both
in the little box.

Enough with the camera.

It´s the new tradition,
remember?

You started it last year.

Okay, Madison, you have
to look into the camera

and tell me what
you´re grateful for.

Okay.

This just needs to marinate
for a few hours.

- And as far as the turkey--
- You´re not leaving, are you?

I have to, sweetie.

You said your parents
went to Florida

for Thanksgiving
and you´d eat with us.

(Madison)
´Ow!´

- Let me see that.
- I got it.

Damn it. I´m fine.
Really, it´s fine. It´s fine.

I´m sorry. I have to go.
I´m sorry.

- But you´re coming back, right?
- You know what, honey?

I can´t come back anymore.
I can´t.

You did this.

- Would you go to your room?
- No.

You couldn´t stand that I was
happy. That I had somebody.

It was wrong.
I couldn´t just turn my back.

Madison knew that
and she agreed.

Because you threatened her.

- Why? Don´t you like her?
- Of course I do.

But not for dating your brother.

You´re dating Madison?
Like with kissing?

You say you want me
to grow up. but you don´t

so you can do father-son stuff
you think you missed out on.

But, you know, it´s too late.

I´m a man, and I am
going to make my own decisions.

You´re not a man. You´re being
childish right now.

Upsetting your sister,
blaming me for your mistakes.

I´m sorry you´re hurting,

and I know this must be
difficult for Madison

but you two put me
in an impossible situation.

How can something be impossible
if it´s happening? It was great.

You couldn´t deal, so you
had to make it impossible.

You make my life impossible.

This isn´t a question
of what I can deal with.

Yes, it is. You´re alone. That´s
your problem. That´s fine.

I´m not like you.
Madison and I want this.

- That´s all that matters.
- It´s not all that matters.

I shouldn´t have to be alone
just because you are.

Here we go.

- Oh, it´s...
- Beautiful, Rose.

Well, I think we´ve
waited long enough.

Everybody, this is Tommy.

- This is my mom, everybody.
- Hi.

- Hi, Tommy.
- Hi, Tommy.

Thank you for having me,
Mrs. Abbott.

Well, thank you.

- You´re late.
- It´s my fault, sir.

The only flowers left at
the first place were dead

so I had to drive around and
find a place that was open.

- Anyway, I´m really sorry.
- I´ll put these in some water.

Well, isn´t he sweet as apple
pie? I want him to sit here.

You gonna carve
that thing, Harold

or should we just dig
into it with our hands?

How about that SpongeBob
float today, Delia?

- That was some big float, huh?
- Whatever.

- She doesn´t care.
- You don´t know what I care.

- Have some turkey, sweetie.
- I´m not hungry.

And you can´t call me sweetie
when I don´t like you.

Can I please go to my room?

Yes, if you like.

- You know what´s really sad?
- Come on. Don´t start with me.

We´ve been here a year and a
half, and look at this table.

There´s no one here. Doesn´t
that seem a little weird to you?

When Mom made Thanksgiving
dinner, it was fun.

We had 20 people over.

That´s why it was Delia´s
favorite holiday.

We can go to your grandparents
next year, if you want.

What I want is to be
able to have a life.

I wouldn´t mind having
to share it with you.

You´re so busy controlling
everything and everyone

I don´t think you know
what you´re controlling anymore.

What is so wrong with
me and Madison?

- Many, many things.
- No, there´s not.

The age thing freaks you out,

but there´s more
to it than that.

I just can´t figure out what
it could be. She´s great.

She´s smart. She loves Delia.
She even likes you.

- What are you trying to stop?
- It´s just wrong.

Can I please be excused?

Sure.

Who made the plum gravy?

Dad makes that every year.
It´s good, huh?

Got more hairs
than plums in it.

´Mother.´

So how long
have you known my daughter?

I don´t know.
I guess about two weeks now.

- How old are you?
- I am 17.

Dad, can we just eat, please?

I´m just trying
to get to know the boy.

So you´re 17, huh?

But, I understand
you´re still a junior.

That´s unusual. Normally,
you´d be a year ahead of Amy.

Harold.

Alright. It´s okay.
No, you´re right, Dr. Abbott.

I took some time off.

I notice you´re not
with your family today.

Did they kick you out
for some reas..

No, we don´t really
do holidays at my house.

That´s a pity. A family doesn´t
have much cause to rejoice

when their son is a known felon.

- Dad.
- Harold, come on, now.

- I think I should probably go.
- Oh, piddle paddle.

Just ignore the man.
That´s what we all do.

That´s okay.

Thank you for dinner,
Mrs. Abbott. Was a pleasure.

Oh, you´re welcome.

Bye, Bobby.

It´s okay. It´s okay.
I´ll see you later.

Harry, I think you
crossed the line.

You think?

I´d say he plowed over
the line with a tractor.

- Where you going?
- My room.

That boy is not allowed
in this house ever again.

- I´ll go to his house.
- You will not.

What are you gonna do?

Who do you think
you´re talking to?

I drove to Wyoming
to pick you up

during one of your
cries for help.

I put you on the
antidepressants you begged for.

But I will not have my daughter
dating some crystal-meth junkie.

- What did he say?
- Oh, my God.

She´s on antidepressants

and dating
a crystal-meth junkie.

Oh, my God, he is not--

The fact that you kept
this boy a secret

just proves how manipulative
you´ve become.

Clearly your behavior
is not the byproduct

of some mysterious depression.
It is malicious

and it is intentional,
and it is over.

Now on, you will have no TV,
no phone, no car, no Internet.

I will take you to school,
and I will bring you home.

You will not leave
this house otherwise.

This self-indulgent act of yours
is going to stop right now.

By keeping me a prisoner in my
own home you´re gonna save me?

From what? Tommy?
You don´t even know him.

The only person I need
to be saved from is you.

I hate this house.
I hate my school.

I hate my friends.
And I hate this family.

I hate everything
about my stupid life.

You can ground me. You can yell
at me. Do whatever you want.

Because, honestly,
I wish I was dead.

I don´t feel anything anymore.
You wanna know the best part?

I don´t even care.

Just who I wanted
to be annoyed by.

I could always move.

I used to think people
in bars on a holiday

were the saddest
people in the world.

- They are.
- Please.

You can dispense
with the fashionable self-pity.

My daughter is dating
a paroled addict.

If it were a contest,
you wouldn´t even rank.

My 16-year-old son is dating
his 20-year-old babysitter.

Barkeep.

- Two more, on my tab.
- ´Sure.´

My son thinks that I don´t
wanna see him happy

because I´m not happy.

Of course I want him happy, just
within the confines of the law.

That´s not so selfish,
is it?

Protecting them? No.
It´s common sense.

Where were you
an hour ago?

Storming out
of my own house.

I used to look
forward to going home.

There were days I´d
have Louise cancel my 4:30

just so I could get back at
the same time as the kids.

My whole day I was
trying to get done

so I could get
back to the house.

Now I´m looking
for places to hide.

Now, I´m here.

When did this
become preferable?

I mean, this place isn´t
exactly the house of joy.

You got a better idea?

Are you sure you wouldn´t rather
just stick to the nickel slots?

Hey, you got blackjack.

Well, that was pleasant enough.

I see you´re
becoming a regular.

Oh, yeah.

So he made it. Congratulations.

Without so much as a blister.

- So now he´s a man?
- Well, I wouldn´t say that.

He still doesn´t
wanna brush his teeth

until I tell
him three times.

But in the eyes
of tradition, yes.

(Andy)
´If it´s all just for show´

´then why not just
throw the party?´

I understand that the firewalk
is all about preparing the young

for the trials
of adulthood.

Ordeal as rite of passage, and
all that Joseph Campbell stuff.

But given his
medical condition

I never would´ve
let my son walk.

Then you would´ve failed him.

Truth is, doctor

today was more of
a rite of passage for me

than it was for Charlie.
You saw him.

He´s more worried about
his cell-phone reception

than his feet.

Me, I don´t think
I was ever that scared.

When he stepped up
to that fire..

...all I wanted to do was run

and get him out
of there, pull him out.

Standing there
and letting it happen

watching my son come
close to danger

it was the hardest thing
I´ve ever done.

And today

he may be a man
in the eyes of tradition.

But today also made me ready
to be the father of a man.

- Ephram, please.
- You were right about my dad.

We should´ve told him about
us from the very beginning.

My mistake.

I don´t think it would´ve
made a difference.

Maybe, maybe not.

It would´ve been the adult
way to go about it.

Now on, that´s how
I´m gonna do things.

You might´ve had a million
boyfriends before.

I´ve never had
a real girlfriend.

I´ve never liked a girl who
liked me back in the same way

that I liked her
at the same time.

I think it´s something
I gotta fight for.

Fight how?

We´re not gonna get
to change your dad´s mind.

Screw my dad.

He can´t stop this.
At the end of the day

the only person
that can is you.

Alright. Let´s say
we convince him.

I mean, what about
everybody else?

Your friends, my friends,
the government.

Bush has his hands
full at the moment.

And as far as my friends
go I only got two.

You´re one of them.

So as my friend, how would you
feel about me dating Madison?

I don´t know.
She´s a pretty cool chick.

Go get your sister.
She must be an icicle by now.

You sure you
wanna go in alone?

I could see if
the coast is clear.

You should never have
left me at that table.

I tried to stop you.

Those flashing lights,
the constant noise

every five minutes
another drink in my hand.

I was clearly
in a hypnotic state.

How could you let me continue?
What were you thinking?

I was thinking you´d quit
after the first 2 grand.

Seven thousand dollars
in three hours.

It was two and a half,
actually.

You´re not helping.

Indians on Thanksgiving.

I should´ve known.

(Andy)
´You made a fire.´

We hadn´t used the fireplace
yet this fall.

I figured it was about time.

I haven´t even cleaned
the flue yet.

I did it.

I haven´t brought
the wood in from the yard.

I did it.

I saw Madison tonight.

I´m gonna keep seeing her

and there´s nothing
you can do to stop me.

I know. I´m not gonna try.

I´m gonna let you do this,
Ephram.

I think it´s wrong. I think
you´re making a big mistake.

But I think I have
to let you make it.

Got to admit

not the direction I thought
this conversation was going.

I also want you to know
that my concerns about this--

Relationship.

My concerns have
nothing to do with you.

Not in the way
that you think.

I know you´re not an
average 16-year-old kid.

I´ve known that
for a long time.

But that doesn´t mean you´re
ready for something like this.

And that doesn´t mean that I´m
ready to watch you go through

something like this.

But I value what we´ve been
building here too much

to risk destroying it
by trying to stop you.

I also know if I forbid
you to see Madison

it will just make it that
much more appealing to you.

This isn´t some
act of rebellion.

This is real, Dad.

I know it is.

You should´ve been honest
with me from the beginning.

I know. I´m sorry. I just...

It all happened so fast I didn´t
have a chance to think about it.

Yeah, well..

...life´s like that sometimes.

I cannot even begin to imagine
what you were thinking.

I mean, after the day
we´ve had

I have to have not one, but two,
calls from credit-card companies

to see if our card
has been stolen

because someone is running up
a tab, they say.

A casino, Harold.

Well, I hope you´re
proud of yourself.

Pardon me for saying this,
but from where I stand

you´re failing this family.

- Mother, please.
- Why? It´s true.

You´ve lost Amy. And Bright
will never amount to much

because you didn´t push him
enough in the beginning.

I knew when he was still little
you weren´t raising him right.

And now you´re a profligate
gambler, to boot.

Oh, if only Rose had married
Richard McKenna.

But she settled for you instead.

A man content to follow
in his father´s footsteps.

And sure enough, you walked down
the same dead end he did

and you dragged
my legacy with you.

- Mother, just shut up.
- Well, excuse me.

I said, shut up.

How dare you come into our home
and pass judgment like that.

Harold may have
screwed up big time

but he´s as fine
a husband as any man.

And don´t you ever
say that I settled.

I am the lucky one here, Mother.

Because as good a husband as he
is, he´s an even better father.

His only fault may have been
to love his kids too much.

Everything he ever did was to
help them, not tear them down

like you constantly did
with your children.

- How can you say that to me?
- Easy. Because she´s right.

Why do you think the kids
never come to visit us?

Now, you go upstairs,
and you pack

so we can leave these people
in peace first thing tomorrow.

I know you two aren´t having an
easy time of it right now.

Me, I wouldn´t wish parenthood
on my worst enemy.

But I wish you both luck.
You´re always in my prayers.

Goodnight, Daddy.

Good night, Rosebud.

Good night, Harold.

- So are you back for real?
- That´s the plan.

So can we go back
to how it was before?

- You´re my babysitter?
- Well, yes and no.

I´m still your babysitter

but it´s not gonna be
exactly like it was before.

Sometimes when we´re together

I won´t be your babysitter,
you know?

- When Ephram´s around.
- Exactly.

And I don´t want you to be upset
with your dad or Ephram.

We´re all just gonna
start over from scratch.

We do that
a lot around here.

I gotta talk to your dad
for a minute, okay, sweetie?

Dr. Brown, I just wanna
apologize again for everything.

And thank you
for my job.

Sit down, Madison.

- I´ve gotta ask you something.
- Sure. What is it?

Do you remember your first love?

Yeah, of course I do.

Then you remember how
it felt when it ended.

That agonizing kind of pain.

It really only does happen once
but it stays with you forever.

Ephram hasn´t felt that yet.

He´s had crushes.

Some pretty good ones too.

But he´s never had a girlfriend.

You´ll be his first.

Yeah, he told me that.

I didn´t mean
for this to happen.

In my head, I know that it
doesn´t make sense

but I felt it, you know?

I guess maybe I should think
more and feel less.

But maybe I´m naive enough
to think that it could work too.

I know Ephram thinks he´s a man

and I know you see
him that way too.

But he´s not.

He´s just a boy.

And his heart is wide open.

So be careful with it.

Amy, will you please
come down and say goodbye

to your grandparents?
Let´s not take this out on them.

Amy Nicole, will you
open this door, please?

That´s just enough. Amy.

Come out here this instant.

Amy. Well, fine.

Fine, I´m coming in.

Amy?

Rose.

(Delia)
´This one.´

No, this one´s bigger.

Wait a minute.
What was the deal?

- Nothing bigger than the house.
- Right.

(male #1)
´Okay.´

Hey there.

Hi.

Find anything you like?

Not yet. Come on,
Dad, let´s keep looking.

You keep looking
and let me know what you pick.

Okay, but then we have to
get home fast or it´ll die.

I didn´t know the Browns
celebrated Christmas.

Well, Delia proudly identifies
with being Jewish

until it´s time to pick the
tallest tree in the lot.

Listen--

Andy, whatever you´re about
to do or say, you don´t have to.

Let´s just skip it,
okay? Really.

No, I can´t.

I owe you an apology.
I´ve been avoiding you lately.

- I noticed.
- I can´t help it.

I have this laundry
list of reasons

to avoid you spinning
around in my head.

Not being sure, being concerned
about your health

being afraid how my kids
are gonna react.

Not to mention the
fact that you´ve shown

absolutely no interest in me.

That´s not true. Is it?

As I remember,
my asking you out

was a pretty
spectacular failure.

Your rejection of me
was so sweeping.

I loved the roses.

You did?

And the balloons.

Although Mylar and latex

are just terrible
for the environment.

Andy, you have every
right to be scared

for all the reasons
that you said.

Except for one.

I am interested.

Very interested.

It´s starting to snow.

First one of the year.

I´ve always had this obsession
with the first snowfall.

I just thought it was so perfect
and pure and that it was--

We don´t know
how long she´s been gone.

Thought she was in her room
pouting all night.

Most cases like this,
kids come home the same day.

Just out driving around,
trying to piss off Mom and Dad.

That´s not it, Roger.

She was pretty upset last night.
She said some troubling things.

- What´s going on?
- Amy´s gone.

- She left sometime last night.
- With her friend Tommy?

The sheriff spoke to Tommy.
He doesn´t know where she is.

Let´s put out an all points
