Sorry about the wait.

Oh, it's no problem.

No one came with you?

No, no, I'm, uh,
here by myself.

Okay.

So...

you work at Macy's.

Yeah, I'm an associate buyer.

My wife would love your job.

If the news is bad,
you can, um, just tell me.

It's AML.

Acute myelogenous leukemia.

I'm sorry.

I know this comes
as a shock,

but we have to move
quickly-- this type

of cancer is aggressive,

but we can
effectively treat it.

Our oncologist here,

Dr. Treadway, is one of
the best in the country.

She can fit you in
on Thursday morning.

I'll send over your results,

but I'm sure she'll want
to run some tests

of her own.

I know this is a lot to take in.

Mmm.

Do you understand
what I'm telling you here?

Mm-hmm.

Do you want me to call
someone for you?

Uh, no I'll call them.
Thanks.

Hello?

Hi, Mom, it's me.

Hey! Hi!

How are you?

Um, you know, busy.

Uh...

Listen, I was thinking
of coming home tonight.

Great!

Really. Great, great, great!

Yeah, well,
I have all those, uh,

those vacation days,
you know, and, um,

just kind of wanted
to use them up.

So would that be okay?

Of course it's okay.

We'll wait up.
No, no, don't worry about it.

It'll be a, a late start,

so I'll probably
not get in till the morning.

All right, then, honey.
Well, drive safely, okay?

We'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

Hey!

Hi.

Where are you?
- I'm out here.

Hey, you.

Guess who that was.
- Who?

Sarah.

Really?

Yeah.
- How is she?

She's coming home tonight.

Tonight? Why?
- Mm-hmm.

Does she need a reason?
- No, but you know what I mean.

I mean, Sarah doesn't
come home out of the blue.

You remember last time
she was home for Christmas?

She works retail.
That's her busiest time.

I know, just doesn't
sound like her.

I'm gonna have a shower and
change the sheets on her bed.

And, oh, oh, oh, oh...

get that exercise bike
out of her room.

Yes, I will.
- Okay, great.

# It's a dark road #

# And a dark way
that leads to my house #

# And the word says #

# You're never gonna find me there, oh, no #

# I've got an open door #

# It didn't get there
by itself #

# It didn't
get there by itself #

# There's a feelin' #

# But you're not
feelin' it at all #

# There's a meaning #

# But you're not
listening any more #

# I look at that open road #

# I'm gonna walk there
by myself... #

# Ooh... #

# 'Cause I'm not lost #

# Just looking for the ways #

# I'm taking it #

# A step at a time #

# And I'm getting by #

# By the way #

# It's you on my mind #

# It's you
on my mind... #

Can I help you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Oh, sorry.

Sarah?

Evan.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, I was, uh...

wasn't sure that...
- You weren't sure

about what? That...

that I'd still be in Staunton?

Well...

Yeah.

No, I just, uh...

I heard what happened

to your father.

Um, how's he, how's...

how's he doing?

Uh, he's, he's
better.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, his, um...

You know, he's
still using the,

the walker,
but his left side

is gaining mobility, so...

Um, and his, his speech
therapy went all too well.

Can't keep Ray quiet, huh?

No, no.

I should probably,
uh...

So, I heard you're a "big shot"
investment banker now.

In Houston, right?
- Dallas.

Yeah, I'm a, I'm a,
I'm a real big shot.

No, I'm just kind of
playing it by ear.

I heard you were, uh, going
to medical school.

Yeah, I didn't get a spot.

So, I'm just still...

shopping for a living.

Well, you look great.

Uh...

$25 even.

Thanks.

You know,
I was actually, um,

in your neck of
the woods last month

for the Cubs
home opener.

I thought about giving
you a call 'cause...

I had a,
an extra ticket.

But, I, I...
- Oh.

Yeah, well, I just,
you know, I figured

you were probably, uh,
seeing somebody.

No. No.

I'm, uh, are you?

Uh, no, I mean, you know,

there were some possibilities
back in Texas.

But, uh, I've been here
four months now,

so I probably burned
those bridges.

Well, you never know.

So I noticed the, uh,

the big scrape on your car.

If you're gonna be here
for a few days,

I could, uh, fix that for you.

Yeah, I just did that.

Parking garage

incident?
- You know,

it's really weird, actually.

Someone just moved
the guardrail

to the middle of the road.

The nerve of some people.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

It is gorgeous out there.

Hey, did you say that you
were going to Alton today?

Yeah, Brad tipped me off
about a wonderful estate sale.

I hear there are
some beautiful pieces.

Uh-huh.

Hey, did you like

that thing I made with
chicken and mushrooms?

Oh, yeah, that'd be
great, thank you.

Uh, you asked me to remind
you about the roses.

Thank you--
yes, I do

still have time.

She'll be upset.

But we should know.
- Hello?

Shh-shh-shh-shh...

Hi, honey.
Hi, Sarah.

Hey.

What?

We just got
a call that you...

you might not have
wanted us to intercept.

We know why
you came home.

I can explain.

It was Amy,

and she tried-- she didn't
know if you were going

to be checking the
messages on your machine

and she tried
you on your cell,

but she couldn't
reach you.

We're so proud

of you.

Proud?

What?
- Oh, sweetheart.

It was admissions
from Northwestern Med.

You got in.
- I got in?

You got in.
- You got in.

You did it.

You got in,

kiddo.

I got in?
- Yes.

And you thought it would be
a waste of time to re-apply.

I... Northwestern?

Yes, yes!

Congratulations,
doctor.

Come on, now,
sit down.

Come on, come on, come on.
- Uh...

So, Chuck called, cancelled
our meeting for tonight,

so maybe we can go
to a movie after dinner.

Lorraine?

The Russell girl is home.

Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.

Jon.

Rick...

Jon's driving.

Dad, I have my permit.

How am I supposed to learn
if I never drive?

That's a nice try, but
let your brother do it.

I'll take you out
to Reservoir Road tomorrow night

and we'll do some practice runs.

See you at Jon's game.

Jon has a game?

Sectionals, Mom.

Sectionals, Mom.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll meet you after school.

Okay, yeah.
I've got to go. Bye.

That's one!

One more!

Look alive out there!
- Two outs.

Nice job!

Good work, bud!

Good work, bud!

Come on,
Bulldogs!

Sorry.
- There you are.

I lost track of the time.
- That's all right.

How's he doing?
- Hi, Mom.

He's not bad.

Go, go!

Yes, yes! Take two!

Go!

Hey, you okay? You want
something to drink?

Mm-mm I think I'm
getting a migraine.

Lorraine?

Tell Jon I'm sorry.

Let's go, Jon!

You can do it!

Out of the park,
Jon!

Yeah, that's it! That's it!

Yeah! Go, go, go, go!

Lorraine?

Yeah?
- Hey, Mom, got a minute?

Hi, sweetheart,
yeah, come on in.

How's Macy's?

Do you still have
to go to San Diego

for the accessories expo?

Uh, no, I think Brenda

is actually going
to go for me, so, um...

Mom, do you believe in karma?

Hmm? Karma?

Yeah.

Of course I do.

I believe good things happen
to good people.

Daddy and I
are so excited for you.

I wasn't talking
about medical school.

Is it about a guy?

Hey, whatever happened
to that young fellow

who used to work
for the Art Institute?

Oh, well, we, uh, went
to coffee that one time,

but that was
over a year ago.

So...

Look at you;
you are so beautiful.

But who cuts that hair, honey?

Come on, I bet you pay
good money for that. $20?

$25? More?

Mom, it's not about my hair.

Tuition?
Are you worried about tuition?

Don't do that.

Daddy and I have already
discussed it.

We're prepared to help.

I just think this might be
a little too much

for me right now,
you know, to take on.

Oh, come on, no...

This is the only thing
you've wanted to take on

since graduation.

I just think you're
nervous is all.

It must be weird.

You know, first you resign
yourself to not going

and now you are going, and so
it just must be weird, huh?

Stop worrying.

Okay.

Is that her car?

Yeah,
I think so.

Come and eat.

Tom and Harriet Banks
are the lucky winners

of this past weekend's
super lottery draw.

The pair came forward

to claim their $11 million prize
this morning and face the media.

Tom Banks is an electrician
and says for the time being

his plans are to keep working

but only after
a three-month vacation.

Harriet Banks says
she and her husband plan

to donate a sizable amount
to charity.

Doctors at Mount Sinai
Hospital say

they may have uncovered a link
to the cause of impotence.

With the discovery,
Hmm.

the doctors say
they are now isolating bacteria

and may be able
to come up with...

Hi.

Hey.

You feeling better?

Yeah, a little bit.

Good. Good.

What did you guys do for supper?

Pizza.

Sorry.

Don't be. Loved it.

Lorraine...

It's just a migraine.

I'll let you rest.

Sarah?

Daniel!

Hey.
- You're home!

Hey, how are you?

It's good to see you.

You, too.
What are you doing here?

Well, I was checking the mail

and I was just looking
across the street.

Um, I hadn't noticed
the roses before.

They're really nice.

Okay.

Do you ever talk to them

much or...?
- Mom does.

She tries to, anyways.
I mean, you know Mom.

She takes over a couple fresh
tomatoes from the garden,

thinks she's fixed the world.
- Right.

What about you?
- Oh, no, I'm probably

the last person
that they want to talk to.

Hey.

Perfect timing.
You can help me unload.

Hi.
- Hey.

How'd you know Daniel was home?

Uh, maybe I'm here for you.

Oh...

The estimate on your car.

Oh! Duh, yes.

Um, I'm going
to take the mail in

and I'll come back.

How's it going?
- Good, how'd your finals go?

You know, they're over,
so that's a good thing.

Yeah, you need
help with this?

Yeah, grab that bag.

So what's Sarah
doing home?

I don't know.

Don't have to guess

why you're here, though.

Me and Sarah?
That ship has sailed.

Uh-huh.

All right, well,
I can fix it for about...

a hundred bucks.

A hundred bucks?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, that's
just for the...

the parts, the paint.

I mean, I wouldn't
charge you for the labor.

You know, Evan,

um, that's very
sweet of you,

but it's not
very smart business.

Well, you forget
where you are.

Customer relations are what matter.
- Really?

What, uh, what kind
of relations?

Have a beer at the Salty Dawg

with me.

Come on.

It's been...

five years?

I don't drink beer.

Good, even better.

I love a cheap date.

Mm-hmm.

Oh...

Okay.

Okay. All right, good.
I'll pick you up

at 8:00.
- Mm-hmm.

You've reached Dr. Treadway's office.

Please leave a message.

In an emergency,
you can page her

at 312-555-0178.

Hi, this is Sarah Russell.

I was referred by Dr. Gordon,
and I was actually, um...

Uh, I'm not going to be able
to make my appointment tomorrow

with Dr. Treadway,
so I was hoping to, um,

call back and reschedule it
when I can.

Thank you, bye.

Who was that?

Work.
Did you tell anyone?

Nope, I haven't
told anyone yet.

Sarah, don't you think

you should warn them
that you're leaving?

Yeah, I'll do it
at the end of the summer.

Honey, getting in is a big step,

but there's still
plenty to do.

Yeah, I know.

So Larry asked

if we wanted to go to a movie
with him and Sue tonight.

Oh, I don't think so.

I'm exhausted.

Did you play tennis today?

No, I worked all afternoon.

Did you get out at all?

I get lost in my work, Howard.

Hi.

I'm home for a few days,
if maybe you...

wanted to talk.

Talk?

Yeah.

We're getting ready for dinner.

Well, I could come back
another time.

Why would you want to do that?

What's going on?

Wait a minute, what...
is that all you're taking?

Yes.
- Well, at least

have a little pasta.
- No.

I'm okay.

That's why you're
so skinny.

I'm not skinny.

I look like every
other girl in Chicago.

What, malnourished
and anemic? Eat.

So Sarah, are you, uh, going out

with Evan tonight?

Mm...
- Are you?

Evan from high school Evan?
You're such a jerk.

I cannot believe you, Daniel.

He abandoned her
'cause she's so skinny.

He didn't abandon me, okay?
We broke up.

Let's get the story straight.

She dumped Evan.
- Ooh. Okay.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Hey.
- Hi.

Hey, Evan.
- Hi, Evan.

Wow, how's your dad?

Uh, he's better. He's better, thanks.
- Bye.

Okay, bye.
- Oh, see ya.

# Oh, Daddy Dear, you know
you're still number one #

# But girls, they want
to have fun #

# Oh, girls just want to have #

# That's all they
really want... #

All right, that's it.
I'm putting your name down.

No! Don't, don't.
- Come on.

I want to see you
tap into your

inner Celine Dion.
- No.

That's not gonna happen.

Besides, everyone's

already staring as it is.

Well, we're
a good-looking couple.

Oh, so we're
a couple now, are we?

Careful. I'll sing "Sara"
by Jefferson Airplane.

Parent rock?

Nice.

All right, we're going to take a break

and we'll be right back
with our next singer.

So now that your dad's

doing better, are
you going to go back?

Well, I just, um...

I want to make sure he's okay.

Mm-hmm.
- You know, long term.

I'm not about to let him
lose the business.

And what about your job
in Dallas?

Well, I'm still
an analyst in training,

so they gave me some leeway.

You know, I do the work
I can by e-mail.

But if it doesn't pan out,
then...

Isn't that, like,
a really good opportunity?

Yeah, but I mean,
there's always opportunities.

You know, we're young.

My mom's gone, I'm don't want
to leave my dad on his own.

Is that why

you stay in Chicago?

Opportunities?

# Show the world
the warmth of your smile #

# But more than anything #

# More than anything #

You know why.
You were there.

# My wish for you #

I wanted to be.

# Is that this life becomes
all that you want it to #

I knew we couldn't
just have a good time.

Sarah...
- If you brought me

out here to dredge up
ancient history

and make me feel bad,
then I'm not in the mood.

You've never needed
my help to feel bad.

Sarah, why didn't...

why didn't you just talk
to me after it happened?

I wanted to, okay?

But every time someone

would look at me or tell me that
it was okay, it wasn't.

It only made things worse.

So you just ran away?

Just take me home.

I'll call you tomorrow.
- Evan, I just don't think

I can do this right now.

I meant about the car.

Oh. Yeah. I, uh...

Okay.

I didn't mean about the car.

Do you remember
when you were a sophomore

and we took Ms. Strong's
drama class together?

You were the only reason
that I took that dumb class.

And no matter who I date

or how far I try to move away...

I still think about you.

Honey,

are you going to keep
rooming with Amy

or are you going to get
a place closer to campus?

Um...
I don't know yet, Mom.

Hey, uh, are you...

are you still going to ask
Ms. Morrisey

to refinish

Grandma's old rocker?

You know, honey,

I asked her about that
at church that one day,

and she said that she was

really pretty busy.

It doesn't matter anyway,

because I sold that rocker
as is at a yard sale.

You didn't want it, did you?

No. No, I, um...

I should actually get going.

You know, Sarah, I could come
to the city for a few days

and we could look for
a place if you like.

No, Mom. It's okay, I'm,
I'm taking care of things.

Oh.

I think med school
is the best thing

in the world
for her right now.

The challenge will
really do her good.

She's ready.

She's putting
the past behind her,

it's about time, too.

I hope.

She's stronger
than you think, Phil.

You've been saying that
for six years.

Oh... Oh!

No, no, no, no.
I'm just saying,

if we'd realized and gotten her
some help back then,

maybe we wouldn't have a
stranger for a daughter today.

Here we go again.

You going to blame
this all on me?

Because I didn't want
to send her to a shrink

and medicate her
problems away?

Because I thought we could
deal this on our own?

I was so naive?

It's not too late,
you know.

We could all go talk to someone.

Now?

Yes.

Let it go.

Okay.

Hi.

Uh, it's me again.

Uh...

Can I come in for a minute?

Wow, you've got
a really nice studio.

It's very...

homey.

It is my home.

Wow, this is beautiful.

The... box.

Is that why you're here?

You want something restored?

Maybe, I'm not really sure what.

Maybe something
like this box, or...

Maybe go to Malloy's

with me or something
to pick something out.

Malloy's?

I don't think so.
But I'll keep a lookout for you

if you want.

Okay, thanks.

Was there something else?

Uh...

No. Sorry to bother you.

Can you guys get your
own lunches today?

Your mother's not
feeling very well.

Big surprise.

Hey!
- Hey, yourself.

Lorraine?

I'm leaving. All right?

Um...

Call me if you need me.

Okay?

Stay in line.

It's your
teddy bear, hmm?

What is this?

This is Mr. Bear.

It's my turn.
Give me that.

I'm going to go sit
with your brothers.

Hey, give me that, you creep!

Stop it!

Hey, it's my turn!
- Stop it, both of you.

Hey, stop!

You can't watch TV...

He started it first.

It doesn't matter. Stop!

Jennifer!
Stop it!

You can't watch TV,
either one of you, okay?

But he started it.
- Jennifer?

I'm telling Mom.
- I don't care. It's my turn.

All right, what's so funny, Dad?

It says here they did a survey
of 100 attractive young women

in Los Angeles, Denver
and Chicago, asking 'em

what profession their
ideal man would have to be.

And guess what
they said?

I don't know. Doctor?

Uh-uh.

Lawyer?

All right,
I give up.

Body shop mechanic.

Body shop mechanic-- I suspect

Bodyworks over here
is a little biased.

Oh, it says

they figured they'd be
in enough fender benders

throughout their life

that it must be worth it.

Oh.

Lookey here.

It's Sarah.

Good to see you.
Good to see you, too.

It's been a long time.

Cinnamon roll?

Oh, no, I'm good.
Um, but thanks.

Ah. Sweet enough
already, huh?

What can we do

for you, kiddo?

Um...

Actually, Evan is going
to fix the scrape

that's on the side of my car.

Yeah. All right, um, let me
just give you a ride home.

Yeah.
- Yeah.

I was just
making lunch.

I looked out
and saw her.

I wasn't sure
what to do.

That's all right, Fran.

Thanks for calling.

Lorraine?

I'm almost finished.

Why don't we, uh...
Why don't we just plant

some new ones
on the weekend, okay?

I just want them gone!

I'm going to go home now,
Lorraine.

I'll call you later.

Okay?

Thanks, Fran.

Lorraine?

Look, I know it-it's hard.

I know.

Let's just go inside,
all right?

It's so green.

I can't believe I forgot

how beautiful it is
in the summer.

Where you taking me?

Little detour.

I love it here.

Yeah.

Got a lot of
rain this spring.

Oh. Now you're really
going Mayberry on me.

What?

Too sophisticated
for fishing now?

Uh...

No. I just, um...

I didn't want
to have to show you up.

Really?
Catch.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Why do you stay?

Do you think people get
what they deserve in life?

Uh, I don't...
I don't know.

Do you?

Ever since Jennifer died,

it's like I've been waiting
for the other shoe to drop.

What do you mean?

I don't know.
Punishment, you know.

Cosmic justice or something.

Yeah, I don't think
the world works that way.

Especially when there's...

no one to blame,

so why torture yourself
with that kind of guilt?

Maybe I'd feel better

if someone would just yell
at me, you know?

Tell me I'm
a bad person.

Is that all it would take?

Cause I'd be happy
to do that for you.

But I bet you're already doing

a pretty good job
of that yourself.

I should probably
get home soon, huh?

No. Wait, please.

Lorraine, I know it's hard,
but it's been long enough, okay?

Somebody could still get some
good use out of this stuff.

I know. I'm
sorry. I know

I got overwhelmed
today, but maybe we...

Look, ever-ever since
Sarah came home,

you've been slipping back.

I don't know
what else to do.

You can let go.

Hi, Gayle.

Hello, Howard.

Can I speak
with your daughter?

Phil?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll go get her.

Sarah, honey?
So, how's the family?

Uh, family's fine,
thanks, Gayle.

How's yours?

Uh, very well, thank you.
- Good.

Very well.
- Someone's here to see you.

Sarah.

Hi.

Can I have

a word with you?

Howard, if there's a problem...

No, Dad, it's... it's fine.

Um, Mom, please.

Have you been
talking to my wife?

Um...

I asked her
to help me find a box.

Thought maybe she could, um,
refinish it or something.

Did you think that was wise?

I didn't...

I didn't mean to...
cause any... harm.

That's not what I...

Well, unfortunately,

you are, uh, causing harm.

I mean, you
just bring up,

um... a lot of memories

we've been working very hard
to put to rest.

I'm sorry.

Look, I'm
very glad

that you've, uh...
you've put it all behind you,

but for Lorraine--

I mean, just seeing you

makes it worse, so...

I'm going to ask you
to stay away from her

while you're home, okay?

Okay, but, you know, we do live
across the street, so...

Yeah. Well...

just let her be, okay?

So...

What was that all about?
- Nothing.

Oh, nothing.

Okay.

I like the way you
guys redid the decks.

Looks good.

You're, you're almost
as bad as your mom

when it comes
to changing the subject.

Look, Dad, I just don't
want to talk about it, okay?

Sarah...

Howard Morrisey hasn't crossed
that street in years.

I don't understand why
you can't just be happy

that I'm here, like mom.

I am happy
that you're home.

It just, what,
do you expect me

to act as if
this is all normal?

Pretend that you're just
hanging out here?

No questions asked?

Okay, listen.

I...

asked Mrs. Morrisey if
she would be interested

in helping me find an
antique box at Malloy's.

Mr. Morrisey thinks
it's a bad idea.

Besides, it doesn't
even matter

because she's not
interested.

Okay.

You all right?

Yeah, fine.

You seeing a therapist
in Chicago?

Dad.
- Well,

you promised me
you'd talk to someone

if it all got
to be too much.

I think you should
just leave it alone.

Hey, Mom.

Hi.

Um, can you write
me a check

for my cap and gown rental?
- Certainly.

It'll be a pleasure.

It was, uh...

$16?

Yeah.

Are Grandma
and Grandpa Shea coming?

Of course.

They wouldn't miss
it for the world.

Are you coming?

Or are you planning
a migraine already?

Jon...

Uh, Jon,
come on, we're late.

Okay, sweetheart.

It's 102.

It's probably
just a summer bug,

but I could, uh,
give Dr. Murray a call,

see if he could
fit you in today.

No, Mom, I'm okay. I'm okay.

Or I could stay home.

Play hooky.

Stay in bed.

We could play Scrabble

like we used to
when you were sick.

No, I'll be okay by myself.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

Daddy seems to think

something's going on with you.

What do you think?

Well, I think
you're just someone

whose life is about
to change big time,

and you just need

a little time
to adjust.

Yeah, that's probably
about right.

Hey.

I'm glad you're home.

Gotta go, honey.

Okay, sweetie?

Drink lots
of water, yeah?

And I'll call you
later.

Mom...

Yeah?

Have a good day at work.

Oh.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Sarah, this is Dr. Gordon.

I just spoke with Dr. Treadway.

I'm not sure if you understand
the severity of your condition.

This can't wait.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Hi.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just...

a little... light-headed.

That's all.
- Whoa.

No.
- Maybe you should get out of the street.

You don't seem all right.

No, I'm, really I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Are you here alone?

Is your mother here?

No, she's at work.

Maybe we should call
her so she can come...

No, no, no.

She'll just get upset.

This is so stupid.

Would you like me to...

maybe some water?

No, no I...

...I just think that
I need to eat something maybe.

All right.

Well, if you're sure
you're okay...

Uh-huh.

I think maybe I'll go
over to Malloy's.

Do you have any advice?

I really don't know
where to start.

I'm not your friend, Sarah.

We're not going to hang out.

If you find
something,

maybe I'll look at it.

Take care.

Uh, hi.

I was curious about the, um,

the-the box in the front
of the window.

The rectangular one.
- Oh, yeah.

That's a real nice piece.

Made in the '20s.

You're Phil Russell's girl,

aren't you?

Yeah. I am.

Ah, I thought so.

So, uh...

about the box.

Is now a good time?

Let's see what you got.

It's in pretty
bad shape.

Yeah, it is.

So you think you can
restore it then?

I'll get back to you.

Mmm.

Well, uh, thanks for, um...

for saying that you'll try
to fix this.

Don't make it
into something it's not.

Okay.

What happened
to you today?

In the street.

I forgot to eat.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey...

you've got paint on your nose.

How's that?

Not so good.

That's better.

That's nice.
Who's it for?

Sarah Russell.

You know, that's
the first time I think

I've heard you
call her "Sarah"

in the last six years?

Well...

it's her name.

Mm.

I thought you didn't want
anything to do with her.

I didn't say that.

No, you didn't.

It's 10:30.

Boy, that's really
looking great.

I'm glad you're pleased.

Did you make this?

No.

My great-great-great grandmother
started that in 1845.

Three generations of
Shea women worked on that.

It actually won a blue ribbon
at the World's Fair in 1904.

Wow.

It's even hand-stitched.

I'd never have the patience.

It was northern Wisconsin
in the winter.

There wasn't a lot else to do.

If I was stuck with my mother
the whole winter

in a house, I think
I'd probably freak out.

Let me help you.

Just leave it!

Why did you come here?

Why did you come back?

When you first started showing up,

I thought maybe you
were coming to apologize.

I thought maybe
if she apologizes

everything will be okay.

But... but you didn't,

and it's just
making it worse.

I-I wanted to apologize.

I'm... I-I'm sorry.

Why weren't you watching her?

Why couldn't
you stop her?

I tried.

She wandered off.

She was-was...

She was a baby!
You have to watch them!

We left you in charge!

We trusted you!

I know, I know, it was my fault.

But why?!
- Lorraine.

I-I just want to know why.

Lorraine, stop it.

If I just understood why...
Then what?

None of this
would-would have happened?

We'd all be okay?

Come on, now, for six years,
you've been blaming everybody.

Me for not fixing the latch
on the basement door.

The boys for distracting Sarah
right at that moment.

No, I never...
- Sarah for not being

in two places at one time.

We've all been hurting,
Lorraine, all of us.

We all lost Jennifer.

And I don't think Sarah here

has the answers
to your "why's."

Bad things happen to good people
all the time.

Sometimes it's nobody's fault.

I never meant to hurt the boys.

I know,
I know you didn't.

But they want their mother back.

They miss her.

So do I.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah, wait.

I didn't know.
I was just...

I saw her in town.
I didn't mean...

I-I...

Sarah, did you think I was
coming out here to yell at you?

I know it's not your fault.

It is my fault.
Sarah...

It is my fault.
It's my fault.

Sarah, listen to me.

It was not your fault.

Okay?

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Okay.

You even fixed
that old dent.

Yeah, it wasn't a big deal.

I have the...
the check, so...

It's all right.
Keep your money.

No, I-I can't...

I mean, I wo...
I wouldn't feel right.

I think you should...
you should take it.

It's because I tried to force
the karaoke on you, isn't it?

I don't think this
is going to work out, Evan.

You don't think
what's not going to work out?

I'm seeing somebody
back in Chicago,

and I just don't want
to mess it up, you know?

Well, that's funny.

'Cause when you first
got into town,

I thought you said
you weren't seeing anybody.

All right, well...

you take care, Sarah.

Thanks.

Hey, Dad?

Is it okay if Lizzy comes to
dinner with us after graduation?

Lizzy?

Whatever happened
to Kristen?

Very funny, Dad.

You know it's been Lizzy
since Christmas.

Night, Mom.

Good night.

89 cents.

Sorry?

89 cents--
that's what the screws cost

to fix the latch
on the basement door.

I bought the wrong screws.

You couldn't fix the latch.

What you said the other night
was right.

I'm sorry.

You do know I love you,
don't you?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

Derek Baxter.

Megan Calhoun.

Jennifer Cameron.

And Dahlia Renee Martin.

Good job.

He's next.

Jonathan Keith Morrisey.

Yeah, Jon!

Congratulations.

Jon!
- Whoo!

Good job.
There you go.

Katherine Gayle Nelson.

Joseph Paul Norris.

Jessica Lynn O'Brien.

Can we take
another, please?

Oh, of course.

Hey, Mom, can I just meet
you guys at Giovanni's?

Oh, there I was hoping
you would drive me.

Yeah, I mean, how
are you going to learn

if you don't drive, right?

Let's go.

All right.

Bye, Dad.
- All right.

Sarah?

Hi.

What are you
doing here?

We're having a special brunch

for Jon's graduation
at Giovanni's.

I saw you
when we were driving up.

I don't want
to drive you away.

Oh, no, no, no.

I actually have
to get home anyway.

I wanting to talk to you
about the other day.

Well, I think, uh...

I think what you said
actually made sense,

um, and I don't want
to make you feel bad,

so I'm just going to,
um, I'm just going...

have my brother come over,
maybe when the...

when the box is done.

So why are we having

this Memorial Day
barbecue again?

Beats me.

Mom's getting a bunch
of her clients over.

I think Dad's just
looking for an excuse

to burn a bunch
of meat to a crisp.

Ha, ha, ha.

Oh, I'm giddy
with anticipation.

So... I hear you have
a steady boyfriend.

Oh.

So you've been
talking to Evan.

I knew it.

There's no guy in Chicago.

You're just messing
with Evan's head again.

You know what?

Evan and I dated in high school.

I'm going back to Chicago,
and he's going back to Dallas--

it would never work.

Ever the optimist.

Opti... Just shut up.

Surprise!

Surprise, honey.

Mom, you really should've talked
to me about this first.

Well, that would've ruined
the surprise, wouldn't it?

Hey, come on, Sarah.
Relax, have a good time.

Oh, Lisa.

How are you?
- Hey.

Did you and Evan
have a fight?

I practically had to drag him here.
- Mom, shh...

Hi, Sarah.

Hey.

Uh, your mom insisted.

I did.

I'm glad you're here.

Um, actually, I got to head
back to the station now.

No.

You just got here.
Come on.

Yeah, I know. There's
a lot of boaters

heading up to the lake
for the long weekend.

Okay. Well...

Danny says you're going back
to Dallas next week.

You're... going home?

Yeah. Well, um...

my boss has been
really patient,

but, you know,
there's only so much

you can do via e-mail
and telecom.

So, um...

Well...

congratulations again.

It was good
seeing you.

Take care.

Love to your dad.

All right, could I have...

Could I have everyone's
attention

just for a minute please?

First of all, thanks to everyone
for coming by

and helping us celebrate.

Thank you very much.

Um, since Sarah's mother
and I believe

that nothing but the best

will do for her, we're sending
her to Northwestern.

Now, there will be sacrifices.

We'll be moving in to her
our son Daniel's dorm room

and selling the house,
so if anybody

wants to make
a bid today,

just, uh, talk to Gayle.

Okay. We, uh,
we can't hide the fact

that we are incredibly proud
of our daughter.

So... to Sarah.

To Sarah.
- To Sarah.

To Sarah.

We're sending Northwestern
our first and our best.

Hey!

Oh, sorry.

You're sick, aren't you?

What is it?

Hodgkin's?

I'm fine, okay?
Just leave me alone.

Sarah, don't lie to me.

It's leukemia.

You haven't told anyone,
have you?

How could you possibly want
to go through this alone?

You know, I really don't want
to go into this right now.

You have to tell
your parents.

I'm going in.

If you don't tell
your mother, I will.

You have no right to do that.

But I will.

Fine, I'll tell her right now.

Or property val...

values will go up.

Sarah?

What are you doing?

I just, I'm...

I have to go home.
You're going home now?

Yeah.
- Can you not wait?

Just wait for a minute!

Just...
- Stop it! Don't touch me!

Dad?!

Excuse me.

Lorraine.

Hello, Phil.

Howard came by
a couple days ago.

He already talked
to Sarah.

Sarah! Sarah,
where are you going?

There's a house
full of people.

I told you,
I would take care of it.

Take care of what?

Lorraine, what are you doing here?

Please...

Please, there's no way
to express how sorry we are

for what happened, but please,
Lorraine, this is Sarah's day...

I'm sorry.
I just can't stand by

and watch you go through
what I did.

What is she talking about?

What-What is
going on here?

Just listen to your daughter.

Sarah?

Sarah.

I'm sick.

What were you waiting for?

You were so excited
about Northwestern.

I just, I couldn't...

Well, I just got off the phone
with Dr. Gordon.

He seems a very nice...
nice, nice man.

Good.

And he said you have
a great chance of beating

this thing, sweetheart,
but we have to get

to Chicago and
start treatment,

so, as soon as possible.

I'll get us on an early train.

I need to go outside
and get some air.

Okay, sweetie,
but don't go too far.

Don't go too far,
because we, I need to...

Mom, please, stop.
- Sarah, what's your problem?!

Dan, please.
- It's all right, love.

No, we want you to get better.

Isn't that what you want?!

Well, we do.

Come on, now.

You're the one
who came home, Sarah.

You're the one who came home.

And maybe you didn't
know why at the time,

but I think you wanted our help.

People want
a lot of things, Mom.

It doesn't mean
they deserve them.

Oh, sweetheart...

Oh, sweetheart,
how have we gotten here?

I thought things
were getting better.

They weren't.

Sweetheart,
this is my fault.

I-I didn't want to see how
badly you've been hurting.

It's not...

Don't feel guilty, okay?
It's not your fault.

I ignored it and I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.
And tomorrow,

we're going to Chicago, all of us.

Yes.

Okay, we'll see, all right?

We'll see.
- Sarah...

Sarah.

You deserve to be well!

Are you okay?

No.

Jennifer would have
been seven last week.

I keep trying to picture
what she would look like now.

When you look at
someone's baby picture,

it's so easy to see
the person they became.

But if you don't have
the older point of reference...

She was beautiful.

She's stuck in my mind
as a baby.

And then I try

to see myself at seven--
tall, skinny...

missing teeth.

In summer,

Mom couldn't get shoes on me,
except on Sundays.

And I imagine
her growing up--

high school, college,

her wedding.

Please, don't...

Oh, no.

No. It's okay.

It's not
so sad anymore.

I've been picturing her as you.

How you were that night--

so young...

and trying to be

so grown up.

You're not
to blame, Sarah.

You never were.

Wow, it's beautiful.

How much do I owe you?

Oh, nothing.

Really?
- Really.

It's a gift;
I want you to have it.

I know it's
none of my business,

but I hope you'll find a way
to forgive yourself.

Thank you.
- Mm.

So I should probably tell
you something.

Let me guess.

There's no guy
in Chicago.

No, there's no guy in Chicago.

But you're still going
to Northwestern

and I'll be
over in Dallas, so...

Well, actually,
I'm not going to, uh,

to Northwestern,
not anytime soon.

I have leukemia.

Sarah...

Tell me what
I can do.

Anything you need.

I have no right
to ask you for anything.

You have every right.

I just wouldn't want this
to be a big fuss, you know?

I just...
- Sarah, listen to me.

People care about you.

Whether you want them to or not.

Okay?

I care about you.

The question is,
how do you feel?

Just a minute.

Hi.

Hi.

You okay?

Sure.

Well, I don't know.

I was just remembering that, uh,

radio message they used to play.

"It's 8:00 p.m.

Do you know
where your children are?"

Sarah's gone.

She left, on her own.

I don't know...

She'll be back.

I'm very sorry about...
today, Lorraine.

Very sorry.

It's okay.

I just don't understand

how she could not want
to be better.

I didn't want to
for a long time.

I pushed my own
family away.

But I was so glad
they were still there

when I came to my senses.

But what if she's gone....

What if she's gone for good?

What if she doesn't come...

This is her home.

She will always come back.

Mom?
