(Irv) Dreams are our world turned upside down.

Gravity, logic, time rendered meaningless.

The world of dreams is not our world..

...although in the dead of night it tempts and deceives

daring us to know the difference.

This is what makes dreams so dangerous.

- Good evening, Dr. Brown. - Evening, Sam.

You´re running late. You almost missed your family.

Oh, usual table?

- Of course. Right this way. - No, that´s alright.

- I know where it is. - Enjoy.

Thank you.

[laughing]

You still up?

I´m burning some songs for the trip.

[sighs]

"Summer of freedom mix 2004."

Can´t you be excited about New York without offending me?

And you? What are you doing up?

- Weird dreams. - ´You mean a nightmare?´

Yeah. An adult can´t call it a nightmare.

- So you call it weird dreams. - We all got ice cream sundaes.

- What? - When I was little.

If I had a nightmare and couldn´t sleep..

...Mom and I ate an ice cream sundae.

I don´t remember that.

I know, go figure.

Yeah, I think she kept it from you.

Well..

...I´m gonna try and get back to sleep again.

You go to bed soon too. Okay?

Hey, Dad?

They´re just dreams. That´s what Mom used to say.

- Night, Ephram. - Night.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Dad, grub´s getting cold. Flush and go, dude.

- What? I´m hungry. - Family?

- I have exciting news. - Dig in, kids.

This doesn´t look brief.

Once upon a time there was a man named Moishe Rodriguez.

He was an unassuming man. A man with a dream.

His father, of Mexican descent.

His mother, a Jewish gal who grew up in the Bronx.

Together Moishe´s parents toiled creating a small,

but financially rewarding business

that kept the family fed and comfortable

even during the Great Depression.

Until that fateful day when Mr. Rodriguez Sr. passed away.

Amy, will you quit hogging the potatoes?

- I´m not. - A lovely story. Very sad.

It´s not over.

After his father passed, Moishe decided to take over

the family business, and take over he did.

He transformed a simple Mom & Pop shop

into one of the largest empires in this great country.

And do you know what that empire was built on?

-A bagel? -Exactly.

- It was built on bagels. - What´s this all about, Harold?

You know how far I had to travel to purchase this bagel?

52 miles.

52 miles outside of Everwood´s borders. Can you believe?

You could´ve just bought the frozen kind.

A salient point, Amy.

But taste this. Go ahead, have a bite.

- Good. - That´s right. That´s right.

You cannot find quality like this

in the frozen food section.

- Mine will be better. - Come again?

You know the old doughnut shop on Main?

Yes. Mr. Kaplan´s been trying to get rid of that for years.

- Not anymore. I bought it. - You did what?

Last week. I´ve made all preparations to convert

the entire operation into a successful bagel enterprise.

- Last week? - It´s a bold idea. I like it.

You hush. What on earth gave you the

idea that you could run a bagel shop?

Research, Rose. Careful research and consideration.

This is an incredibly profitable arena.

And the market in Everwood, virtually untapped.

I think it´s cool. I mean, look, bagels look like doughnuts.

People in town won´t know the difference.

I expect more support from you. I am following a dream here.

When has it been your dream to run a bagel shop?

My dream is becoming a multi-millionaire before 60.

And by God, these bagels are going to help me do it.

Know what? I´m going to toast up a few for you all to sample.

You´ll see. Do we have any cream cheese, Rose?

Dad has gone mad crazy. I dig it.

[playing piano]

[doorbell ringing]

So my dad´s opening a bagel shop.

- What? - Bagels. He just told us.

And I don´t think you should go to New York.

Again, what?

I was gonna open with, "I don´t think you should go."

Then Dad threw us for a loop.

And there might be some connection there.

I see.

- You do? - Uh-huh. Wanna come in?

Okay.

The thing is, my dad is doing this completely crazy

thing, right? Because, it´s like, why not?

He´s got nothing to lose at this point.

And I just keep thinking that it´s the same thing with us.

We basically had the worst fight that we could possibly have.

- Did it. Done it. It´s over. - Right.

So why not just be crazy? Start over like you said.

Summer would be the perfect time. No pressure, no weirdness.

Because of school, your clique, my clique--

- I don´t have a clique. - My clique.

But you know what I mean.

We´d be able to figure out what we could be without

being inside the pressure cooker that is County High.

Yeah. I mean, it´s a good plan, except for one small problem.

Juilliard. Juilliard. I know. I was thinking.

And I realized your dad´s a millionaire.

- What´s a few hundred bucks? - Thousand bucks.

Same difference, It´d be like he enrolled you in a summer camp

and you broke your leg so you couldn´t go.

So you lose your deposit. It happened to me.

I know what I´m asking you to do is crazy.

Don´t think I´m not aware.

- Then why are you asking? - Because, Ephram, I don´t know.

I feel like everything´s coming to a head right now.

And there´s all this great energy surrounding us.

If you go away for eight weeks, it´s just a long time.

I´m not sure it´s still gonna be like this when you get back.

I don´t wanna take that risk.

Now, that´s a good point too.

It´s not enough.

I mean, I have to go to New York.

This program you would not believe this program.

I mean, the teachers are, like, world famous.

I´ve been dying to talk to you about it because

you would be the only person that would understand.

I even saved the brochures to show you in case

we started talking again.

- Do you wanna see them? - That´s okay.

I´ll check them out another time.

It´s gonna make me a better pianist.

It´s gonna up my game, like, 1000 percent.

It´s gonna change the rest of my life. I can´t pass that up.

- If it was anything else-- - I know, I know.

I was just being stupid. I can´t even believe I asked.

- No, I´m glad you did. I just-- - I get it.

I should probably go because Dad´s really excited about this

thing and it´s all gonna be great, I think.

So if you wanna show me those brochures, I´m around.

You know, whenever.

A-A-Amy.

And how are we this morning?

You make my coffee yet?

I don´t know why I let you stay here. I really don´t.

- Dr. Brown? - Madison.

I was just having it out with my moose.

Sort of a morning ritual.

- Is it okay that I´m here? - Of course.

- Is everything alright? - Yeah, it is, I just--

I had some free time before school, so..

I was just missing them.

I wanted to make sure they´re okay.

I wasn´t sure that I should call.

Well, Delia´s doing great. She´s excited about camp.

Or at least she is now after the appropriate

bathing suits were bought which somehow made all the difference.

And she has the new housekeeper trained

in the fine art of Beefaroni molding.

But as of yet you are utterly irreplaceable.

She misses you very much.

And Ephram´s doing well. He´s going away too, actually.

He´s spending the summer in New York.

- He got into the-- - The Juilliard program?

- I knew he would. - That makes one of you.

He plays better when he´s worried.

I´m sorry I barged in on you like this.

I just wanted to make sure they were okay.

You sure you´re okay?

I don´t know. I..

I think I might need your help.

Help with what?

I´m late. I´ve been late.

Is that unusual for you?

How long?

I don´t know, a couple weeks.

I took one of those tests at home.

What did it say?

I wanted to make sure. So I came.

I´m sorry if that was wrong.

I wanna tell Ephram, but I wanna make sure first.

- He doesn´t know? - No.

I thought that maybe you two were..

I wasn´t sure, but I thought that..

We were.

I hoped you were being careful.

We were.

[sighs]

Well. We have pregnancy tests here.

We can go in my office, and find out in a few minutes, but..

But first I need to know something from you.

There was no one else.

[indistinct chattering]

I think someone spelled your sign wrong. It says, "Shoppe."

It´s shoppe, Thurman.

Spelled in the Middle English style to denote an artisanal

approach beyond both your palate and comprehension.

Just be ready to hand out your samples.

I can´t yet. It´s these dots.

I can´t tell whether these are sesame seeds or what.

I´m not sure what kind of a bagel I am.

You´re a garlic, Thurman. Go.

Louise, where is the caraway on this "Everything bagel?"

- I didn´t know that went. - Consider the name, everything.

That means an equal proportion of everything in flavor arsenal.

Garlic, onion, salt, poppy, sesame, caraway.

How do you expect me to promote you to hamentashen duty.

- If you can´t even handle this. - I´m sorry.

It´s fine. It´s fine. Just..

We have a shop to open, a franchise to establish.

It´s time. Places, everyone.

[takes a deep breathe]

Welcome. Come one, come all.

Enjoy the fine tastes as yet to be discovered in this state.

Baked fresh this morning by trained medical professionals.

It´s the Lower East Side on Main Street, Colorado.

Enjoy some freshly brewed coffee with your pumpernickel or plain.

Two for one on the whole wheat.

Mr. Jensen..

...you have the honor of having the first bite of an empire.

- What´ll it be? - I´ll have a dozen glazed.

- We don´t have glazed. - Then chocolate-covered.

These aren´t doughnuts, Jensen. They´re bagels.

Okay. Do you have any jelly-filled?

[door opens]

I just got word the grass pollen count

shot up way past 150 this morning.

Figure on a lot of sneezy walk-ins after lunch.

Thanks.

If you´re not up to it, I can handle the over-the-counter.

If you need a cup of Joe, I can make a fresh pot.

No, I´m sorry. I just had a patient before you got in.

And she got some news she didn´t want.

- Code pink? - Did the test twice.

It never does get easier to see that bomb drop.

What did she decide?

We haven´t gotten there yet.

She´s coming in tomorrow to talk.

Is that all?

That´s it.

You sure?

- It was Madison. - Oh, my.

- How is she? - Other than being pregnant.

- She´s fine. - Does Ephram know?

Not yet. She wanted to tell him, but I told her I would.

I´ve got to do it, up until this morning, his biggest problem

was whether to pack all his hair products or buy new ones there.

He is so excited about going to New York to study and to play.

Now he´ll hear this and it´ll all be over.

Ephram has had enough lessons in consequence.

- It´s just not right. - You have an incredible kid.

- He may be 16-- - That´s the point. He´s a kid.

And kids do lots of stupid things.

Not Ephram. And not this stupid. It´s not him I´m upset with.

This isn´t his fault or Madison´s.

Neither of them are adults, not really.

I´m the parent who should´ve known better.

I´m the one who was supposed to put a stop to this.

What the hell was I thinking?

Got the gum, comics, CDs so I can load up on the Pod.

Dad´s letting me borrow his portable DVD player.

Being on a plane´s like being in your room

except you´re moving through space.

Yeah. Except it´s not exactly space. It´s more like air.

Give that to Amy. She likes Ben Harper.

I´m not your messenger boy.

If you wanna apologize, give it to her yourself.

No, we´re totally cool. She came over. Everything´s fine.

She did seem sad when she was leaving.

- Keep it. - Not because I was an ass hat.

She asked me not to go, I can´t. I didn´t do anything wrong.

Wait. She asked you to stay in Everwood for her?

- Yeah. Nuts, right? - What´s nuts about that?

That she thought I would not go to Juilliard because we have..

I don´t even know what we have and if I--

- Even if she´s your soul mate? - Did you say "soul mate"?

If she was, you´d still run off to New York just to play piano?

- It´s not just playing piano - You already told me.

I already forgot. That´s how boring it was.

Man, I cannot believe how royally you screwed up again.

I cannot believe you think I should stay.

You would never give up playing ball for a chick.

Not just for a chick but for my soul mate? I would.

We´re not soul mates. Stop saying that. We´re confused.

Sometimes there´s feelings. Sometimes not. It´s a big mess.

And that´s why she wants you to stay. So you can figure it out.

I stay, figure it out, turns out we´re not a good couple.

Then I´ve blown this entire opportunity for nothing.

Maybe. But that´s only if it doesn´t work out.

What if you are a good couple? Then what are you giving up?

But there´s no way to know that. You´re confusing me.

Am I? Or am I enlightening you?

Shut up.

[door opens]

- Hey, you got a minute? - Can it wait?

- Are you busy? - No. I´m wallowing.

Or waffling. whatever you wanna call it, but it´s

taken up a surprising amount of my time.

What´s going on?

[sighs]

-Nothing. -Nothing?

You just went fetal.

I´m just not so sure about this New York for eight weeks thing.

You couldn´t wait to get out of here.

I was getting used to the back flips.

I know I´m supposed to go so I can study with the best

and build my future and all that but..

Never mind. Forget it. Not your problem.

No, no. What is it?

What if part of my future is right here?

Which part?

Amy.

She wants me to stay. It´s everything I´ve wanted.

I don´t wanna say no but at the same time, I wanna study.

I´ve never had a proper classical training like this.

If I do, I could have a chance to stop being a potentially

great player and actually be one.

She´s gonna be here when you get back.

Yeah. She might.

- She might not. - I sense you´ve gone over this.

And over and over and over.

Seriously, I have no idea what to do.

I wish you could just decide for me.

Is this when you ask me what I think so you can disagree?

No. Not this time. Come on, tell me. Okay?

Whatever decision I make will be the wrong one. So go ahead.

Over parent. Micromanage.

One-time offer. Whatever you tell me to do, I´ll do.

Well, you know what´s best for you.

You taught me that by yelling it at me.

I´m sure you´ll figure it out.

At what age does it stop being socially acceptable

to hide under your bed?

- Forty-eight. Minimum. - You´ll know where to find me.

- Hey, what did you want? - Huh?

Didn´t you wanna talk about something?

No.

It´s nothing you should worry about.

I finally found a homeless shelter that

said they´d take yesterday´s leftovers.

Had to try a bunch before I convinced someone

they could use them in a nice stuffing mix.

How many bagels did we have left over?

Fourteen hundred.

Fourteen hundred delicious bagel treats that I´m sure

will catch on like wildfire once people get word, you´ll see.

(Rose) Good morning, Harold.

No, it is not and you know it. You see it with your own eyes.

We´re bottle-empty. I failed.

This whole operation was nothing than an epic poem of lunacy.

You knew it would happen too.

You knew I never really wanted this.

My whole life I only wanted one thing.

To be a doctor, to help the sick and stupid.

And make them feel better again. You knew I would fail.

Yet you allowed me to pursue this quixotic dream.

- Why, Rose? - Are the sesame bagels fresh?

- Oh, still warm from the oven. - I´ll have one to go, please.

Thank you.

Have a nice day, Harold. I love you.

You look tired.

I´m not sure that I´ve slept since I left here.

Me neither.

Have you thought any more about what you wanna do?

I haven´t thought about much else.

I´m still not sure.

Well, you don´t have to be right now.

You can take some time and we can figure it out.

I promised that I´d help you and I meant it.

I think I need to talk to Ephram before I decide.

What did he say?

Nothing.

I don´t understand.

He doesn´t know.

-You haven´t told him? -No.

- And I don´t plan to. - What?

I don´t want him to know that you´re pregnant.

He would wanna know. He deserves to know.

That´s true. But it really doesn´t matter.

I´m gonna tell you something. You may not understand it.

But that´s fine, you don´t have to...just listen.

Ephram lost enough of his childhood when his mother died.

But I got lucky.

He got lucky.

He somehow managed to salvage that innocence.

If he hears this now, all that innocence is gone.

And it will be the end of a childhood

that isn´t finished yet.

Don´t do this to him.

Please.

Listen to me, Madison, whatever you choose to do..

...if you want to end the pregnancy.

If you wanna keep the baby, I will pay for it.

I will support you.

I will see to your comfort and security. Whatever you want.

For as long as you want it.

But Ephram is not to know.

- I think this is a mistake. - Fine.

Let it be my mistake.

How? How could I do that?

You go.

I better not be hauling my ass uphill

to see some...piano brochures.

(Ephram) ´I forgot the brochures.´

Sorry.

- What´s this? - Technically, it´s a picnic.

They were out of fried chicken at MJ´s.

Art told me a meatball sub attracts bears

so I went with the safer choice.

Tuna fish. Not very sexy, but..

Is this supposed to be a sexy picnic?

Maybe. I´m not sure yet. Here, have a seat.

- You look nervous. - I am nervous.

Why?

Look, I´m pretty sure we´ve been down

this road before many, many times.

In fact, it´s kind of crazy how many times we´ve been down this

road without anything actually ever happening on the road.

You know, it seems like something always messes us up.

Lately, that something has been me.

I feel like I´ve been given a second

chance and I don´t wanna blow it.

You know, I can´t stop thinking about what you said

about me staying and us really taking a shot.

And, thing is, I know what would happen if we did that.

It would be exactly the way I thought it would always be.

Perfect.

You know, I never really worried much about..

...what would happen if we actually got together.

Somehow I knew that part would work itself out.

It´s the getting there that seemed impossible.

I could never imagine both of us being

on the same page at the same time.

- Timing´s not our strong suit. - Yeah. Exactly.

- But now-- - Now what?

You´re it. The one I wanna be with. No questioning it.

There´s no holding it back, no over-analyzing. It just is.

- So you´re staying? - No.

I have to go to New York. I have to go for lots of reasons.

For myself, to learn.

Not just about me, not about the piano but about everything

about who I´m gonna be when I´m done with school.

- I don´t understand. - I mean, I could not go.

I could be the guy that says, "Screw it, it´s all about the

girl," but let´s face it I am that guy.

I know how to make you a priority. I´ve done it.

I can do it again. If you ever need me, I´ll be there.

Right now I need to worry about making myself the priority.

The only way I can do that is to go to New York.

But I want you to wait for me.

Will you?

´I thought Madonna was good at reinventing herself.´

Doctor, I´m in no mood for humor this evening.

Particularly not your generic, witless brand of it.

I should spare the "down on your lox" joke I was about to make?

Want me to go?

Why bother? This would hardly qualify as the worst day

of my life unless you made an unwelcome appearance.

What better way to break the blessed silence between us?

Does this mean that you forgive me?

It means that I´m far too exhausted

to hold on to the anger any longer.

Besides...what´s the point of hating someone else

when hating myself is so much more richly deserved?

Yeah, I heard about your venture.

I´m not an odds man, but...bagels in Everwood.

I mean, they go together about as well

as you and customer service.

Oh, go ahead, Brown. Laugh it up.

Your one-time competitor is now sweeping

the floor of a defunct bagel shop.

The race is finally over. The bell has been rung.

And you are the last man standing. I salute your victory.

Actually, I´m sitting.

Oh, come on. Don´t give yourself so much credit, Harold.

The truth is, I miss having you across the street.

I miss lunches with you where you pretend to ignore me.

I miss you rolling your eyes in disgust at something I said.

But mostly on days like today..

...I miss watching you screw up your life as much as I do.

Because when you do it, it´s much funnier.

Judging by my pouffy hat I believe we have finally gotten

to the day where even you in your supreme idiocy

cannot compete.

- You don´t know the half of it. - Are you okay, doctor?

You know anything about dreams, Harold?

I mean, how to decipher them?

To have expertise in that arena, I´d have to believe

that dreams held any greater significance

than as a mere dumping of neurological refuse.

However, perhaps this one time I could be of some aid.

- Go on. - Well..

...in this dream I´m-I´m in New York, only..

It´s not three years ago, it´s today, as though I´d never left.

One of those rainy nights where you can´t get a cab anywhere.

I make it through the storm into Gabriel´s on West 60th street.

´It´s this great restaurant where Julia´

´and I used to take the kids on Friday nights..´

provided I could get out of work in time.

´I take off my coat and I say hello to the hostess..´

...and I head for the table.

And...she´s there.

Julia..

´She´s there and Ephram´s there...and Delia.´

´And they´re laughing and smiling and..´

I just watch them.

´And I feel so..´

´...happy again.´

I´ve-I´ve had that dream three or four times in the last month.

What do you think it means?

I think it means that...life knocked me on my ass three

years ago and I haven´t gotten up since.

I think it means that no matter how hard I try

to make sense of Julia´s death..

...that the tragedy of losing her..

...will always eclipse..

...whatever good comes to me.

- Andy-- - It´s true.

Forget anything I´ve learned or experienced.

I would take it all back.

I would take that life back in a heartbeat.

You don´t know what that life would be.

It would be a lot better than what I´ve got now.

Better for who? For a family you never saw?

For patients you never really cared about?

For everyone.

I have two children who are going to be attending college

within the next few years and I´ve just spent...

a quarter of my savings on the worst business investment

this side of Euro Disney.

So take what I´m about to say with the proper grain of salt.

Dreams aren´t meant to be understood

any more than tragedy can be averted.

Life happens to us.

We learn to be grateful when things are good

and to count our blessings when things are bad.

And the only certainty in all of it

is that it all just keeps happening.

Yep.

Oh, I almost forgot the reason I came here.

- To mock me. - No, the other reason.

I..

I have a number for you. It´s Tri-Gold Insurance.

- They cover my practice. - Yeah. Thanks.

I already spoke to a rep there last week. They politely passed.

I know. They passed on you as a sole practitioner.

As of this morning...they agreed to cover you as a new

partner in a practice of good standing.

- You´re not really suggesting.. - Why not?

Are you kidding, with my patient load and your ego

we would need an airport for an office, not a train station.

Well, the offer´s good from now until you say yes.

And I hope you will.

I mean, look at us, Harold.

Could it possibly get any worse?

You okay with the bus?

Shouldn´t have to ride for two hours to get to the airport.

I´ve been taking the subway since I was 10. I can handle it.

- Go home. - I could drive.

- I could get the car-- - Dr. Brown, let it go.

Right.

(female on PA) ´Your attention, please. All passengers for Denver--´

- You wrote me a card? - Open it up, nutsack.

Hey, my ID. I´m Gus again.

Yeah. Ada had you in her hard drive.

And I needed to see her bend over the laminating machine.

It´s my gift, man. Go downtown, see a lot of bands..

...drink too much, touch no women.

- I can´t believe I heard you. - Can´t believe you´re leaving.

- We worked it out. - I know. Only you, dude.

You know, you´re the only guy that can

call me dude without a hint of irony.

- What´s this? - I´m leaving.

- It´s appropriate. - Okay.

Have fun.

Well, is this how it´s gonna be?

Maybe.

Give me your arm. This permanent marker.

And this is the number of the cell phone

that I´m gonna have with me everywhere this summer

except the shower.

- I already knew the number. - Oh, really?

See you.

- Ready? - Yeah.

You feel good about going?

Not right this second, but an hour ago I felt great, so...

Well, have a good time... and be careful.

I´ll be in the Lincoln Center 24/7 playing

till I get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Not gonna be a lot of room for raging.

It´s not that. You´re growing up.

It´s not fair.

I keep staying the same and you keep changing.

You´ve changed some. You didn´t tell me what to do when I asked.

Sign of the apocalypse.

May not seem like it, I do wanna do the right thing for you..

- ...occasionally. - And you hit occasionally.

Call me when you land.

- Send stuff. - A lot of stuff.

- So, what are you doing now? - I don´t know.

Wanna see a movie?

Okay.

Harold. Come on in.

I brought you some bagels.

- Some? - Forty.

- We had extra. - Thank you.

They´re the last batch.

The oven doors on Abbott´s Authentic Bagel Shoppe

appear to have closed for good.

I´m sorry to hear that. These are quite good.

I was quite a good doctor too, neither looks

to be relevant in this town.

Somehow I don´t think you´re through yet, Harold.

There´ll have to be some changes made

if I came onboard this strange and very brown ship.

There always are.

I need my own office and examination room.

- Of course. - My own nurse.

- I understand. - An equal partnership.

Entirely.

- We would have to charge. - We could discuss the matter.

Dear God, I will live to regret this, won´t I?

With any luck.

- Wanna shake on it? - No.

- Hug? - I´ll see you tomorrow.

Bright and early...partner.

(female #1) Let me help you store that away.

- Thank you very much. - There you go.

So did you know they stopped serving

peanuts on airplanes? I asked and..

...apparently a lot of people are allergic to them.

So they started serving pretzels instead.

Who knew that peanuts were such a common allergy?

Here, give me.

- You weren´t at the bus stop. - I know. I was gonna go.

Didn´t want Bright to get suspicious, then I remembered..

- It´s Bright. - ...it´s Bright. Exactly.

So I came up with an excuse..

...waited till he left, and then got my mom to drive me here.

- Well, when did you decide? - Yesterday. After the picnic.

About what you said, the whole waiting thing.

It was an interesting idea, you know?

Very romantic in a Victorian kind of way.

And then..

Then I realized I´m not very Victorian

so I hopped on the Internet, Priceline´d flights..

...found a good deal, got my dad to help me

although now I owe him six car washes and an A in Spanish.

- Don´t you have summer school? - It starts in two weeks.

And your classes only officially start a week from Wednesday.

I looked at the brochures. They are really cool. Good pictures.

- So you´re coming to New York? -Yep. For 10 days.

Apparently Nonny has a great guest room.

You´re coming to New York with me.

See, I´ve never been to Times Square.

And I´m dying to see Avenue Q.

And you never shut up about how good the pizza is.

Plus, I´m just not very good at the whole waiting thing.

[laughing]

- Hey, guys. Sorry I´m late. - You seem it.

(Delia) Hey, Dad.

Did you order me something?

An hour ago. I had them wrap it up.

Oh, that´s okay. I just want a drink anyway.

Is there a waiter around here somewhere?

Wait. It´s not somebody´s birthday, is it?

- Barbara would´ve told me. - Ephram got in.

- Got in? - To Juilliard summer program.

- I told you this morning. - Oh, right.

- Congratulations, I´m proud-- - I´m catching a cab to Ben´s.

You can drop your sister and I on the way.

Delia, hail a cab with your brother.

- Night, Dad. - Night, sweetie.

Can I get a drink before you tear into me?

I´m not gonna tear into you. Not tonight.

I´m sorry. It´s not as though I try to forget these things.

No, you don´t try to remember them.

I will make it up to him?

Sixteen years? Good luck.

You know, Andy...don´t feel sorry about forgetting.

Feel sorry for yourself.

There´s a whole world happening and you´re just asleep.

Sometimes it scares me so much to think

what it would take to wake you up.

[Jack Harlan singing "Please Don´t Pass Me"]

♫ These lines have not been borrowed ♫

♫ There´s no sense in keeping score ♫

♫ These arms are fragile ♫

♫ But I refuse to close the door ♫

♫ There´s a soft melody playing ♫

♫ Moonlight across the floor ♫

♫ Come dance with me darling ♫

♫ Don´t ask what for ♫

♫ Please, please ♫

♫ Please don´t pass me by ♫

♫ Please, please ♫
