It gives you the power
to do things

you would never have
the courage to do otherwise.

It inspires you
to make yourself vulnerable

put your heart on the line.

To give more than you can give.

To speak heartfelt sentiments

you thought only existed in
old books and flowery poetry.

And it can make you
forget everything

except love itself.

That one thing
that makes life worth living

the object of your affection.

[exhales]

What´s wrong?

- You hated it, didn´t you?
- No.

Not at all. It was..

Bad? Really bad?
I knew it.

Don´t be crazy.
It was great.

It was.. I mean, in the middle,
you were really rolling there.

- Kind of Tom Waits-y, right?
- What, you got that?

How could I not?

Oh God. You´re dying,
aren´t you?

- You´re really embarrassed.
- It´s amazing. I love it.

And the band´s gonna
freak out over it.

You wanna show it
to the band?

Well, obviously.

Come here, you.

[instrumental music]

Can I help you?

Oh, hi. Um..

You from the church?

No, I think
I have the wrong place.

I´m sorry to bother you.

Inspired by love,
we can move mountains

make great changes,
do great things

but we can also become
so blinded by it

that we forget everything,
everyone

even ourselves.

[theme music]

- We do own spoons, Bright.
- Oh, it´s faster this way.

Don´t wanna be late
for my first day back to school.

Don´t forget you´re going
to the market for me later.

´I need a few things for
your father´s birthday dinner.´

Are we still doing that?

Of course we are.
Why wouldn´t we?

Oh, you slept late.
I was starting to worry.

Just tired, that´s all.

Why on earth
do we need two dozen eggs?

Go, Harold.
It´s your birthday.

- Go, Harold.
- That´s enough of that.

You needn´t go
through the trouble.

A celebration
seems somewhat gratuitous

everything considered.

You gotta whoop it up, Dad.
You only turn 45 once.

Yes. And last year, when
I turned 45, I whooped it up.

It´s just a small party, Harold.
Nothing extravagant.

It´s something
to look forward to.

Up to you.

You can do better than that.

Senor Brown.

[speaking Spanish]

Whatever.
It was a stupid assignment.

Who could write
four pages on the tortilla

and its influence
on Mayan culture?

We´ll get to make it up
in summer escuela.

No worries.
This is totally fixable.

Wow, can you cry
on command too?

Look, we´re really--

En espanol, Senor Brown.

Um..

[speaking Spanish]

You just said
we´re very pregnant.

Well, I´ll let you fix this.

I´ll let you do
an extra credit project.

Great.
What do we do?

A time-line history
on the pinata?

I´d like for you to prepare
an authentic Mexican meal

for the entire class.

Translate the recipes
into Spanish

and bring it
all in by Monday.

Perfect.

- Hope you know how to cook.
- As well as I speak Spanish.

- I can cook.
- No. You cooked last time.

You´re not warming up
to my meatless meals.

The plus side is there´s never
any worry about food poisoning.

Oh, maybe we could just
go see a movie.

What do you think, Nina?
Anything worth seeing lately?

I´m probably not
the best person to ask.

The last movie I saw in a
theater starred Molly Ringwald.

Fair enough.
What about you, Harold?

You know of any good fests
this weekend?

[sighs]
I endure these lunches
as a forum

to discuss topical
medical issues

not to engage in a dialogue over
your weekend´s events calendar.

Harry has a birthday
coming up this weekend.

- What´re you doing on that day?
- Little as possible.

- It´s 1:00. I got a patient.
- Hang on, I´ll walk with you.

Well, they´re moving
right along, aren´t they?

I didn´t realize
they´d gotten so--

Annoying, I believe is the word
you´re looking for.

I assume this is my sister´s way
of getting back at me

for never letting her win
a hand of Go Fish.

So, it´s pretty serious then,
huh?

You would know more than I

being his neighbor and only
actual friend in this community.

I haven´t seen that much
of Andy lately.

I guess now I know why.

Before I forget,
Sam needs a flu shot.

You don´t have any openings
in your schedule tomorrow?

I´m sure I can accommodate you,
but doesn´t Dr. Brown..

His book´s full these days.
I just wanna get it done.

Of course.

Any patient of Andy Brown´s..

...was once mine.

- Ta-da!
- No way.

I think one-month anniversaries
are supposed to be vinyl.

I´m just keeping
with tradition.

Do you know what I was doing
a month and a day ago?

- I have no idea.
- Me neither.

I can´t remember what my life
was like before I met you.

It´s pretty sad, right?

[phone ringing]

Sorry.

Oh, my buddy Alan´s been bugging
me about this homework thing.

Alright, there.

- Now, where were we?
- Right about..

[phone ringing]

For our 2nd-month anniversary,
I´m getting Alan a tutor.

Hmm. It´s not mine.

That´s weird.

[phone continues ringing]

What´s this?

I thought one-month
anniversaries

were wireless
communication devices.

- This is expensive.
- You don´t like it?

I thought about doing
the whole earrings thing

but I figured
you didn´t want that.

No, I mean, these are like
300 bucks. You can´t afford--

I mean, nobody our age
can afford things like this.

- I know I can´t.
- I know.

That´s why it´s a present.
I got them cheap.

Some rebate, kickback,
illegal scam sort of thing.

But trust me,
it´s completely safe.

[phone ringing]

Sorry. I gotta go.

My mom needs me to look
after my little brother.

- You gotta meet the tripper.
- I´d love to meet him..

...and your mom, both sometime,
you know, whenever.

Hey, you know what?
Let me..

Let me try to shut
this thing off before I go.

You know, just in case.

- What about your mom?
- She can wait five minutes.

- Eyew!
- It´s bulgur wheat.

I decided to cook
for Linda this weekend

so I´m testing out
a few recipes.

Dividing them into things I can
eat and that make me nauseous.

Do Ephram and I have to eat it?

- ´Eat what?´
- Booger wheat.

- I´m making something else too.
- Don´t worry about me.

- I´m dining with Madison.
- What? Right now?

I could move it
to tomorrow afternoon

but that´d make it lunch.

Why doesn´t Madison just eat
with us, like usual?

Because she only eats here
when she´s getting paid to.

Tonight´s her night off.

- What about your homework?
- Did it.

- And piano?
- Practiced. What else you got?

I´ve no idea what you´re doing
in your life besides Madison

because you´re never around.

This past week you´ve come home
to change clothes and to sleep.

- Am I missing something?
- Yes, your sister for one.

Relationship add to your life,
not become your life.

Before Madison, I had no life.
Now I do.

You don´t have to spend
all your time with her.

You can let it breathe
occasionally.

- Spread the happy around.
- I got you.

I´m feeling the wisdom.
Be home by 10:00.

I liked it better
when they hated each other.

Oh, that wasn´t
too bad, was it?

[Sam humming]

We´re almost done here.

Can you teach me
how to drive?

I´m sorry.
He´s in his monster-truck phase.

It´s certainly an improvement
over the biting phase

I last saw him in.

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

How´d Dr. Brown react when you
told him Sam was coming here?

Oh, I didn´t mention it.

I doubt he´ll notice anyway.
His schedule´s so crammed.

´As is yours,
I would imagine.´

Am I wrong, or have I noticed
you working more shifts lately?

´Yeah, a few more.´

Plus I started this
telemarketing job

that takes up
a lot of my nights.

But the upside is I can do it at
home, it´s just a little crazy.

Alright, Sam.
We are all done.

So why don´t you go have
Nurse Louise get you a lollipop?

I want grape!
No, cherry!

He hits quite a decibel level,
doesn´t he?

Well, you should hear him
after he finishes the lollipop.

It sounds like you and Carl
are due for a vacation.

So when is he coming back?

Actually, Carl and I
are separated.

We´re probably
gonna get a divorce.

A divorce? Nina..

Well, I haven´t exactly
been broadcasting it.

I keep waiting for him
to come home

so we can explain it
to Sam together, but..

You´ve been dealing with this
alone? Nobody else knows?

I told Andy,
but you know how it is.

He´s got his kids, his practice,
his home life.

Yeah, as do we all.

It doesn´t mean we can simply
shirk our responsibility

as friend and physician.

Especially not during
difficult times.

It´s not so bad.

Besides, you know Andy.
He gets overwhelmed easily.

I´m sure he´ll pop back up again
once he gets his ducks in a row.

- Well..
- ´I want two lollipops!´

- ´Mom!´
- I better go get him

before he breaks Louise.

I don´t get it.

You wrote her a song,
which, by the way,

was girly move number one,
but whatever.

You played it. She dug it.
You macked down.

So, what´s the problem?

Something just feels off.
I don´t think she liked it.

As long as she´s still willing
to make out with you

- who cares about the song?
- I do.

- Maybe I should talk to her.
- Bro, you´re killing me here.

All this talking and caring.

And, you know,
writing cheesy love songs.

Why don´t you hand over your
testicles and get it over with?

Are you calling me a girl?
You´re fluffing your hair.

I have a wingding.
Okay? It happens.

Ephram.

- What´s she doing here?
- We´re going shopping.

For school.

Hey.

It´s dad´s birthday.
Mom wants you to come.

- I was planning to--
- Whatever. Do us all a favor.

Bring him a present, okay?

I´m out.

That´s the longest conversation
I´ve had with him in two weeks.

Okay.

Are you ready
for Nacho Fest 2004?

I poached us a couple menus
from Taco Bell.

Figured we could use it
as source material.

Works for me.

[phone ringing]

Hold on one second.

Hey.

Uh-huh. Okay.

Yeah. No, sure.
You want me to pick you up?

Alright, I´ll see you then. Bye.

I take it things are going well
with you and Madison?

Yeah, you know.

Is it weird,
us talking about this?

No. No, I don´t.. I don´t
feel weird at all, do you?

- No, no, not at all.
- Good.

So, what do you wanna know?

She´s awesome. She actually
likes me, which is odd.

No, it´s not. I´m glad
it worked out with you two.

It must be cool having so much
in common, whole music thing.

So did she actually ever see
the Beatles play, or..

[laughs sarcastically]
Very funny.

And how´s Rico Suave?
You guys sharing needles yet?

Look, I know Bright played him
up to be a big crack addict

but he´s not like that.

He´s actually really smart.
I think you´d like him.

Yeah.

[phone ringing]

- Is that a BlackBerry?
- Yeah. Tommy got it for me..

- ...for our anniversary.
- Cool.

What are you gonna get for one
year? A GPS tracking system?

I´m thinking this, a couple bags
of chips, we´re in the clear.

- What do you say?
- Keep walking, amigo.

What goes better
with breaded tofu?

Merlot or cabernet?

You´re planning yet another
evening with my sister?

I don´t usually tofu it alone.

I´m thinking of adding
seitan noodles to the menu

- in case that changes anything.
- Who cares?

Honestly, entire religions
have been created

with less forethought.

Problem, Harold?

Far be it from me to intrude
on your relationship

but your behavior is bordering
dangerously close on obsessive.

You´re letting the lifeblood
of your practice slip out

from under you without
so much as batting an eye.

What? My office has
never been busier.

That´d explain
why you didn´t know

one of your former patients
came to see me today.

Sam Feeney.
The overly rambunctious child.

Nina brought Sam to you? Why?

I would assume
that your hectic schedule

of Linda, Linda and Linda
has made it difficult

for some patients
to meet with you.

That´s ridiculous.

Nina knows I´d always make room
for her and Sam.

Not for nothing

but Nina extended her warmth
and hospitality to you

when you exploded
into her neighborhood.

I think it´s time that you
return the courtesy

now, when she needs it most.

- What did she tell you?
- About as much as she told you.

My understanding
of single parenthood

is limited to what I´ve gleaned
from the occasional movie.

But you have actual firsthand
experience with it.

- You know how difficult it is.
- Of course I do.

Then I´m sure you´ve offered
to babysit from time to time?

Cooked a few meals for her,
that sort of thing?

If Nina wants something from me,
all she has to do is ask.

- We have that relationship.
- Really?

I thought that you two had
the kind of relationship

where she wouldn´t have to.

Hey. You´re never gonna
believe what I did.

I tried to BlackBerry you
some sappy message

and I wound up messaging some
Japanese businessman instead.

And now he won´t
stop writing me.

Is everything okay?

I have a question for you.

Two days ago, I´m at
the pharmacy. Where were you?

I don´t know.
At school probably.

I´m talking about after school.

I don´t really remember.

That´s funny.
My mom seems to remember.

She says someone who looks
like you stopped by my house.

Only you pretended to be
from the church?

No. That was a mistake.

- So you were there.
- Yeah, but--

- What were you doing?
- Wanted to give you your gift.

And you didn´t think you should
tell me about that?

Well, I decided I wanted to
give it to you in person.

- So, now you´re lying to me?
- No.

Look, I just wanted
to surprise you.

You show up at my house,
uninvited,

and you don´t even
bother to tell me?

You met my mother
and you don´t even mention it.

Did I ask you to come by?
Did I say it would be okay?

Either you´re invited to
someone´s house or you´re not.

So, if I don´t ask you to do
something, you don´t do it.

Excuse me?

Are you mad because
I went to your house

or that I didn´t
tell you about it?

Look, just don´t
do it again, okay?

I gotta get back to work.

Jay.

She´s in there,
going over the latest.

Cool, it´s coming together good?
How´s that progression after the
chorus?

It was tricky. I was thinking
about tweaking it.

- What are you talking about?
- What, the song that I wrote.

Nothing.

Wait, you wrote a little love
song for Madison?

- Oh, that´s so cute.
- Shut up.

It´s cool. Wrote a lotta songs
for chicks when I was your age.

It´s totally normal,
prepubescent behavior.

Just tell me
it´s not called "Madison."

[laughs]
Hey, don´t stress, kid.

If the song´s good, it´s good.
Is it good?

Obviously not, otherwise
you would´ve heard it by now.

True that. Sucks to be you.

Ephram. Perfect timing,
we´re wrapping up.

You should´ve told me the truth.

- What are you talking about?
- I come here..

...end up
looking like an idiot.

Which is hard, considering
he has the IQ of a potato.

Hey, slow down.
I have no idea--

The song. You never showed it.
Never planned on showing it.

Instead you lied to me. Why?

I don´t know.

Oh, that´s good. Thank you.
That´s really helpful.

I´m sorry.

I never should´ve
said I´d show the song

because you´re right,
I wasn´t going to.

- So you hate it?
- No, I´m just--

I´m not comfortable sharing
that stuff. Especially here.

- Because of Jay?
- Because of everybody.

Because it´s
a little embarrassing.

- This is coming out all wrong.
- I get it. It´s embarrassing.

I embarrassed you.
I´ll leave before I do it again.

- It´s not you. Can we talk?
- No, I get it. It´s cool.

I´ll see you later.

Behold my chicken.

Wow, that´s
some garlic in there.

The recipe calls for 25 cloves.
But you know what?

It sounds like a lot,
but it´s pretty tasty.

No need to thank me.

- Hey, Sam. How´s it going?
- I´m driving.

Oh, fantastic.

Hey, you know what?

Delia used to have
these little Hot Wheels.

Maybe they´re still
around somewhere.

First chicken,
now Hot Wheels.

Christmas must´ve come
early this year.

- I´m just feeling neighborly.
- Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything´s great.
Work is good. Kids are good.

- How are things with you?
- Oh, they´re fine.

- Sam feeling okay?
- You talked to Dr. Abbott.

Harold? Did we talk?
I don´t remember.

Sam, honey?
I need you to go to bed.

- Already?
- Yes, already.

You can shove that chicken
where the sun don´t shine, Andy.

Well, now, that is
just uncalled for.

You steamroll into my house
with your peace offering

so you can guilt me about taking
Sam to see another doctor?

I´m not trying
to guilt trip you.

I just wanna understand
why you didn´t talk to me first

before making the decision
to switch doctors.

It wasn´t a decision.
I needed to get Sam in

and you can be
difficult to pin down.

- Since when?
- Since lately.

I haven´t seen you
at Mama Joy´s

in I don´t know how long.
Do you know?

Well, I just..
I assumed that you were busy.

My ass.

Alright, fine. I assumed
that you were depressed

and didn´t wanna
talk about it.

When I´ve been depressed
I´ve come to you.

I guess I thought that if you
needed me, you´d find me too.

- That´s how friends work.
- Who said I needed you?

If you don´t need me,
what am I doing here?

I´ve no idea.
I kind of wish you´d leave.

I´ve to get Sam to bed, finish
doing the dishes, laundry

and get a head start on
my new career of telemarketing.

Telemarketing? Since when?

I really don´t have time
for this right now.

I get it. You´re overextended.
I can see that.

And no one understands that
feeling better than I do

so why don´t you just let me
help you with some of it?

Tomorrow,
I´ll have Madison watch Sam.

And you can do
whatever you want.

You can see a movie.
You can read a book.

Whatever. You deserve it.

- I don´t need your babysitter.
- I´m just trying to help here.

- What do you want me to do?
- I just want you to go.

Is there no service
anywhere in this house?

I´m getting,
like, one bar.

You gonna help
or obsess over your phone?

My dad´s birthday dinner is in
an hour. I´d like to get there.

I am helping.
And I´m not obsessing, thanks.

Why are you freaking out?
She´s probably got things going.

- Like what?
- A jam session or bingo night.

I´m sure she´s not
sitting around

wondering when she should
call her boyfriend.

Sounds like somebody had a fight
with Tommy Crackhead.

Like you would be able to tell
if I was upset about something.

You´re right.
I probably wouldn´t.

You can only be friends
with one Abbott at a time.

Bright´s the winner.
Next year you´ll be my friend.

- Like a trade-off system.
- I don´t see you coming to me.

Amy gets a boyfriend and
everybody else ceases to exist.

I can´t take it personally as
you don´t talk to relatives.

How´d you know?
You haven´t asked.

We´re at my grandparents´,
you haven´t said one word.

What do I say?
You´re wacked?

You move out of your house
over some guy you barely know.

You think this is about Tommy?
He´s the reason?

- I don´t know.
- Yeah. That´s right, you don´t.

I´ve been on antidepressants
for the past few months.

I didn´t ask to move out, my
parents basically kicked me out.

My dad can´t even
look me in the eyes.

My grandparents are tolerating
me because they feel guilty.

First I lost Colin
and then I lost my family.

It´s fine, because I met a guy
that made it all better.

- Yeah, that´s what happened.
- This all went down recently.

- You never came to me.
- No. You never came to me.

Look, I´m out of here.

You have a visitor.

Is there no service anywhere
in this town?

I come in peace.

We need to talk about
what happened yesterday.

Yeah, I know.
Sorry.

I don´t know
where that came from.

If we´re gonna be together

I need to understand
what´s going on with you.

I said I was sorry.

I don´t want an apology.
I want an explanation.

Can we pretend like
the whole thing never happened?

No. We can´t do that.
I´m sorry.

I was embarrassed, okay?

Have you ever been
called white trash?

Or stand in line
at the grocery store

and pay for stuff
with food stamps?

I mean, it´s about as
humiliating as it sounds.

Your dad´s a doctor.

You know, your mom is
the fricking mayor of Everwood.

My mom..

...she cleans motels
for $6 an hour.

My job at the pharmacy
isn´t some

after-school-saving-up-for
-a-car kind of job.

What I make goes for rent,
water and electricity.

You know, we used to have this
great old house up on Mulberry

but when my parents split,
he kept the house.

But he didn´t keep us.

All my mom could afford..

...was 300 bucks a month
and a two-bedroom trailer.

I lost most of my friends.

It´s a tough sell, you know

getting kids to hang out
at the trailer park.

Anyways..

...I guess..

...I didn´t want you
to see where I lived

or that part of my life, because
I was afraid I´d lose you too.

And I proved you right by
freaking out and leaving.

[sighs]
Yeah, well, you were sweet
enough to lie about it.

- No. I´m sorry I did that.
- It´s okay.

I probably would´ve done
the same thing.

- It´s weird, isn´t it?
- It´s not that weird.

So you live in a trailer park.
So what?

I live in the guest room
of my grandparents´ house.

It´s just where we live.

It´s not who we are
or the reason we´re together.

I´m not going anywhere.

Hey, can I take you
out to dinner?

I know this great restaurant
I think I can get us into.

You know, burgers,
fries, McNuggets.

- What´s for dinner?
- What are you doing here?

This is where I come
at the end of the day.

What´s with the table?

Linda´s coming over
for dinner tonight.

She should be here any minute.

I´ll take Delia for pizza
and a video game.

Delia´s over at Brittany´s.

I figured that you´d be
with Madison tonight.

Wait a minute. Why aren´t you
with Madison tonight?

You believe our relationship
is strong enough

that we don´t need to spend
every waking moment together?

No.

Then I think we´re in a fight.

[doorbell chiming]

- What happened?
- I don´t know.

I wrote her a song.
She didn´t like it.

I got mad,
and now she´s not calling me.

[doorbell continues chiming]

- It´s hard, isn´t it?
- What?

Trying to have a relationship
and a life at the same time.

Yes, it is, but I wanna
talk to you about this.

I´ll tell Linda to postpone.
You can tell me everything.

That´s all right.
That´s pretty much it.

- Have dinner with us?
- No.

I´m fairly certain
seeing you in date mode

would scar me
for the rest of my life.

I´ll be in my room.

Damn fine meal, Rose.
What did you put in that glaze?

In case I wanna cook and give
Irv another heart attack.

It´s very simple.

Just a bit of marmalade
and some cloves.

Now, who´s ready
for some cake?

Why don´t we hold off on
serving cake just now, Rose?

Give everyone a little time
to digest.

Why don´t we open presents?
That´s the fun part. Right, dad?

Sure.

That´s from Edna and me.

´A window defroster.´

Top-of-the-line window
defroster.

Yes, I know.

You might recall I gave you one
like this for Christmas.

Well, we loved ours so much.

Here, open this one.

Oh, it´s beautiful.

My word..
Well, it looks like an antique.

It´s 1952.
It´s an Allen ´N Hanbury.

That´s right.

Your grandfather
had one like this.

That´s how
I got the idea.

I remember how when I used to go
to his office, me and..

Well, we used to play
with his stethoscope.

I´d check if the plants
had a heartbeat..

...because mom said plants were
alive and grandpa called me an
idiot.

Good times.

"Love, Bright and Amy."

It´s from both of us.
It was actually more Amy´s idea.

It´s a wonderful gift.
Thank you very much.

Why don´t we go ahead
and serve that cake now?

´No need waiting any longer.´

I offered to help
by lending Madison to her

she slammed the door
in my face.

Then to answer my initial
question, Nina´s not okay.

I can´t believe she was being
so defensive and cut-off.

- Wow!
- I know.

No, I mean,
wow, you screwed up.

What? What did I do?

You didn´t do anything,
which was your first mistake.

I mean, Nina´s entire life
is changing right now.

I´m sure she´s dying
for her friend.

That´s what I was doing.
Being her friend.

Sometimes to be a friend,
you just pull up a chair

and make a pot of coffee
and listen.

You don´t bribe them
with babysitters and chicken.

Well.

- I screwed up.
- Yeah. You did, a little.

I should probably talk to her.

You know what, if you wanna
go over there right now

I´ll completely understand.

No, no, that´s okay.
We still have dessert.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

Thanks.

[slow instrumental music]

[mimicking car engine]

[engine cranks]

[engine revs]

[car crashing]

[car honking]

[honking continues]

- It´s Nina.
- Oh, my God.

Call 911.

Oh God, it´s Sam.

Where´s Nina?

- How is he? Can I see him?
- Doctors are just finishing up.

Sit down and I´ll give you
all the details.

It´s bad, isn´t it?

He has a fracture in his arm,
he´s young, bones are resilient.

- He should heal right up.
- Why can´t I take him home?

He had a mild concussion. They
ran a CAT scan. Nothing wrong.

No serious injuries, they wanna
keep him overnight to be sure.

Oh, my God.

How could I have
let this happen?

- It was an accident, Nina.
- It was so irresponsible.

How could I have just
fallen asleep like that?

Listen to me, sit down.
Sit down. Listen.

You were exhausted.

You were doing the work of
three people with no help.

If anyone should feel
responsible, it should be me.

- Please, this isn´t your fault.
- I haven´t been there for you.

Not as your doctor, and
certainly not as your friend.

You shouldn´t have to
ask me for help.

It´s something I should know
instinctively.

I mean, you´ve been there for me
more times than I can count.

I honestly don´t know
how I missed the signs, Nina.

I am so sorry.

I guess I just got
caught up in--

Your life?
It´s okay. You´re allowed.

Well, I´m gonna get better at
this friend stuff. I promise.

I hope that doesn´t mean you´re
gonna make me more chicken.

You should go. It´s so late.
Linda´s probably waiting.

No, no, no. I´m staying
right here with my friend.

And I´m not going anywhere.

´Where were you tonight?´

I was out with Tommy. Why?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!
Dad´s birthday.

Grandma, I completely forgot.
Is it too late?

´They´ve all gone to bed.´

I know you´re having
a tough time

and it isn´t like I agree with
everything your folks are doing

but to miss
your father´s birthday..

I know, I know. I screwed up.
I meant to--

No one cares
what you meant to do.

The only thing anyone´s gonna
remember is you weren´t there.

´There was one person your dad
wanted to see tonight.´

You.

So, what do I do?

I don´t know.

From the look
on your dad´s face

I´d say it´d take a hell
of a birthday present.

I hope you saved your allowance.

Good night, Amy.

Sitting in the middle of your
garage with my eyes closed.

As far as apologies goes, this
one leaves a lot to be desired.

One second.

Okay. Open.

You´re giving me back the song
I wrote for you. That´s nice.

That´s how you say I´m sorry?
Then you suck at this.

Look closer, dumb-ass.

There´s lyrics here?
I didn´t write any lyrics.

I know. I did.

That´s what I spent
the last 24 hours doing.

Which is why I didn´t
call you yesterday.

What? You wrote lyrics for me?

Yup.

You´re amazing, Ephram.

You surprise me
almost every day.

But I´m not gonna lie,
you freak me out sometimes too.

And when you gave me that song,
it blew my mind.

In a good way,
but also in a scary way.

It´s like every time
I´ve caught up to you

in terms of how much
you´re into this..

Us.

You race ahead of me again.

I like you more
than you like me?

I´m saying that you put 1,000%
of your energy into this

and I´m not used to that.

I wanna catch up
to where you are

but in order for that to happen,
you´re gonna have to slow down.

I guess you´re right. I mean,
I can be a little overeager.

I don´t have to put 1,000% into
this. I could do 800.

- Maybe 850.
- That would help me a lot.

Then that´s what I´ll do.

Now, will you do me
one more favor

and play that song
you wrote for me?

[piano music]

What´s wrong?

Is it the lyrics?
You hate them.

- They suck.
- No, no. It´s not the lyrics.

It´s this song.
It´s bad.

Look at this intro. What was
I smoking when I wrote this?

- You have a pen?
- You´re out of your mind.

It´s a good thing
you didn´t show this.

I never would´ve been able to
show my face around here again.

Oh, my God. The band.

I told them to take five
like half an hour ago.

Guys, we can start up again.

- Let´s go.
- Alright.

Do you wanna hang out? We always
like having your ear around.

No, I got this Spanish thing
that I gotta finish up.

- But what are you doing later?
- Nothing. Wanna grab dinner?

Actually, I have an Overeagers
Anonymous meeting.

Gum?

Thank you.

You were right.
I wasn´t there for you.

You had the worst year of
your life and I disappeared.

- Sorry.
- It´s okay, Ephram.

I want you to know, if anything
ever did happen to you

- if you really did need me--
- I know.

- Because I would.
- I know.

The truth is, I wasn´t really
mad at you the other day.

I was upset with Tommy and
instead of dealing with him

I took it out on you.
I´m sorry.

Yeah, it was pretty much
the same for me.

- I was all wrapped up in..
- Madison.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is kind of weird
talking about them.

I know it shouldn´t be.

In a perfect world, I´d be
all European about it.

I don´t think
you need to be.

We can be friends and not talk
about that part of our lives.

We need to remember to talk
to each other.

Yeah, it´s not like they´re
our entire lives or anything.

I don´t think they should
take up as much time as they do.

In my opinion, what makes
a relationship great

is when it gives you more time
for other people.

Yeah, I guess.

[phone ringing]

I´m sorry.

What´s up?

Nothing.

It´s okay. We could stop talking
about them in three minutes.

No, it´s just..

Tommy´s been working all day and
he´s to work an extra two hours.

There should be labor laws
on that stuff.

(Male #1)
´Thirty enchilada specials?´

[instrumental music]

(Amy)
´Dear Dad, I´m sorry
I forgot your birthday.´

´It´s not like me to do that.´

´You probably think that´s
just how I am these days.´

´That missing your birthday
is more proof´

´that I´ve become
a different person.´

´Someone who forgets her family
for a boy or a fight´

´or whatever it was
that got between us.´

´That´s the thing,
I don´t even know anymore.´

´I know I´ve disappointed you´

´more than
you ever thought possible.´

´I never thought
it was possible either.´

´Now I feel stuck in this
pattern of messing stuff up´

´and I don´t know
how to fix it.´

´I wish we could make everything
like it used to be´

´but I´m old enough
to know we can´t.´

´I know you won´t believe me but
I think about you every day.´

´And no matter
how bad things get´

´or how far apart
we might seem´

´you´ll always be my dad.´

´And I´ll always be your Amy.´
