Everwood S4E2 - English Transcript

Previously on "Everwood" The thing is, is I love Jake. I love him more than I even realized. Maybe I'd consider Reid to be my roommate if you'd tell me what flight Hannah's coming in on. What are you doing here? I missed you. There's nothing left here for me. I'm sorry, Ephram, but I don't think I can let you do this. Well, you can't really stop me. I sent Ephram an invitation to the wedding. How? I mean, how did you know where to send it? Ephram! Almost 3 months farting around Europe, and not a tattoo to show for it. That's my boy. Well, I was sporting a go tee for a while in France, but that was just to fit in. Those people have a real thing for body hair. So, it was a great wedding -- not that I've been to many. You talked to her yet? Not really. Well, what are you waiting for -- god to push you over there, or should I do it? Edna! Hey. Hey, Dr. Abbott. Ephram, welcome home. Well, I hope you picked up some new languages while visiting our neighbors abroad, hmm? No better way to acquire the vernacular than when forced to use it in your daily life. So, what was it -- spanish, french? Perhaps a little portugu�s? Well, I learned what "cornucopia" means, but that was a really weird day. Well, I should get these flowers into some air-conditioning before they wilt. - Hey. - Hi. - You're back. - I am. I didn't know when you were coming home. Yeah, neither did I. It just sort of happened. So, how was it? It was good. Lots of nice architecture and smokers. How's your mom? She's fine. The surgery went well. Yeah, Bright -- he wrote me and told me about that. Oh, right. Well, we finished the chemo a few days ago, and now we're just kind of waiting for more results. - Oh, so it's not totally over yet? - No, it's not totally over. But she's actually waiting in the car, so Oh, yeah. No, you should go. I didn't realize. Just wanted to say hi. No, no. I'm glad you did. So, is this just a stopover, or are you back for good? I was thinking about sticking around unless there's any restraining orders I don't know about. I'll see you around. Ready to go home? Summer hours are almost over, kiddo. Time to hit the sack. I'm glad you're back. Well, you must be pretty jet-lagged, so I'll just let you Actually, I'm kind of wired. Yeah? I'm jealous, you know? I always wand to backpack through Europe. So, was it everything you thought it would be? I don't know if I ever thought about what it would be. I pretty much just wanted to get out of town. I mean, it was hard. I forgot how much they hate us there. You' supposed to say you're canadian. I guess I didn't know what to do. I was too freaked out to talk to anybody. I didn't know what to talk about. My life so far is difficult to translate. And I just did it. I sucked it up. I did it. I met a bunch of cool people. I did a bunch of stuff that I never would have done if I'd been by myself. Yes, I know. I am one step away from saying that I found the meaning of life in a Tuscan villa. Shoot me now. No, no. Sounds like it might have been exactly what you needed. Yeah. I think it was. So, is my room still a room, or did you guys put a hot tub in there? No, it's exactly as it was when you left. Oh, I, uh, almost forgot. I got you something. You did? Grappa. Don't worry. I didn't try it myself. No. Anyway, enjoy. Thank you, Ephram. Sure. In the beginning, Everwood was a small town with small needs. There were no streetlights, no movie theaters, no microdermabrasion. Mama Joy's was enough to get us through those days. Meat and potatoes were served. Coffee was poured. And the grease stains soon became the map of our lives. But the winds of change have swept across our mountains and awakened us to progress. Everwood is growing, and our palates have grown more curious. Maybe we should cut the ribbon now. Nina and I would like to thank you all for being here with us today and joining us on this beautiful journey. You are about to walk into a culinary *** -- - People -- - Enjoy, everyone. Okay. I was gonna say "bon app�***. " - No, you did great. - Yeah? Okay. Okay. So let me get this straight -- you flew halfway across the planet to see Irv and my grandma renew their vows? Dude, I almost didn't go because of a "Smurfs" marathon. My chair. I didn't have anything better to do, so Weren't you in, like, a city where they actually encourage pot brownies? Truth is, I ran out of cash. I have no marketable skills. So here I am. Well, man, I wish you would have called me or something before I got a stupid roommate. He's all gay and stuff. You got a problem with gay people? No. Except for I feel like I have to vacuum all the time, watch the Bravo channel. But you know what I could do for you? There's a closet -- A closet? - Well, it's more like a crawl space. - Crawl space. No, it's like -- I mean, you could fit a bed in there. There's no door on it. You'd be my roommate. That's okay. I think I'm gonna live on my own. I just got to figure out the money situation with my dad. Yeah? How's that going? Yeah, I mean, so far, we had a decent conversation the other day. I think we just needed some space or some actual distance. So when you were in France, did you learn any good pickup lines, like, "your eyes are like the moon," or anything like that? Ah, no. Why? Well, I got a date with Hannah tonight. I thought maybe I might use one. Oh, yeah? You mean pizza? No, I'm taking her out to a real place. It's gonna be pretty nice. I made reservations and stuff. They called me "mister. " Wow. Haven't seen you plan like this ever. Yeah. I'm growing. Portobello-mushroom press? Oh, hey, do you have any of those pigs-in-a-blanket things? No, Bright. We're serving things that are edible now. I don't know see what's not edible about pork products in a bun. You should really rethink that. These are incredible. Who's Marion Williams, and why does she find Dr. Brown worthy of such delicious confections? Wow. Who sent those? Marion Williams -- overnight priority. Well, that was nice. Any more of my mail you want to open? So, who is this mysterious Marion? More importantly, where'd she get this recipe? She's a patient. Not a patient I know of. Do you normally make it a habit of stalking all of my patients? Just the bakers, Dr. Brown. Just the bakers. I'm serious. You totally would have gotten along. He was my best friend. His name was Simon. - And he was imaginary? - Yeah. But I swear to god, he used to do real stuff. He would -- like, when my tonka truck got smashed, I was like, "Oh, Simon. " Almost ruined our friendship. - Oh, hello, Bright. - Hey Candice. - Meredith. - Meredith. Right. Do you have any specials today? We're out. There you go. Quail -- isn't that like a pigeon or something? What was that with the waitress? Oh, Candice. Yeah, well, she's a freak show. - Meredith. - Right. She's got some serious anger issues, this woman. We went out one time. And we were at the movies. And she totally snapped on some kid -- totally freaked out on him -- yelled at him for talking. The kid started crying. He was like 3 years old. She just goes on eating her goobers. Or maybe it was whoppers. I think I was eating goobers. Those things are delicious. Yeah, goobers are good. So, how long did you guys go out? Not long -- maybe twice, which is short even by my standards. I'm typically three dates and out. With her, two was more than enough. You want to split an appetizer? Yes. So, dare I ask What's the plan? That was pretty good, dad -- only took you 36 hours. He wanted to cave after 24. I don't know. I was thinking about taking some classes at E. C. C. I want to get a degree in something. Maybe just ease into it. See what comes to you. Enjoy being a student for a while. You don't mind if I don't get a job right away? Being in school's your last excuse to avoid the work force. I think you should milk it. You told me I had to start babysitting next year. Someone's got to support me. Great. So I'll just start looking for an apartment. I should be able to find something close by, real cheap. What are you talking about? Why do you need a place? Well, I can't live here. Oh. Oh, I see. And I'm supposed to pay for this apartment? Weren't you gonna pay for school? Yes, of course. And you can't afford both? Well, it's not a question of money, Ephram. You just told me you have no idea what you're doing. And now you want me to give you money to get your own apartment and make your own rules. What kind of a life lesson is that? Well, I'm doing what you want me to do. I'm going to school. Yes, and that's great. But it doesn't make you an adult. Have some. It's really good. So I can backpack around Europe for 3 months by myself, but I'm still not "adult" enough to own my own fridge? Not if you can't afford it. I'm sorry, Ephram, but if you want to get your own apartment, you're gonna have to figure out how to do it on your own. Fine. It's what I'm used to, anyway. "Three and out" -- what is that? Oh, my goodness. Good morning. Is "three and out" a thing, like an expression that's sweeping the popular culture? I really don't know what you're talking about. In fact, I don't know what anybody's talking about before 8:00 a. m. Your brother -- three and out. He told you that? So, it is a thing? Why didn't you tell me about it? Did you really need me to tell you that my brother's an idiot? Were you here for last year's ***-harassment expo? So it's true. And tonight is supposed to be our third date. It's over. It is not over. Three and out was last-year Bright. You're already 10 times better than any girl he's ever dated. You'll change him. Do you really think that's possible? For one person to change another person? Sure. I mean, I wouldn't expect some kind of "beauty and the beast" transformation thing. If you think about it, that movie is really dangerous to the female psyche, although I did enjoy the teapot. When it sang? Adorable. But when two people start spending time together, it is inevitable that they will affect one another somehow. Like when Ephram and I started dating. Oh, my gosh. I totally forgot. I am so sorry. You saw him. How was it? Was it weird? It was hard. I was really sad when I got home that night, like everything just came rushing back to me. And then I woke up the next morning, and I felt better about it. So there you go. I changed, which means anyone can change. Yeah. You got over him, just like Bright is already over me. So, remember to check the expiration date on that chili next time, Everett. All right, Louise. What other moronic accidents can I reverse this morning? You don't have anything for 2 hours, so you can get back to that domino project if you want. I'm at a sensitive juncture, although it is quiet. In fact, is Dr. Brown even here? No, not until 3:00. What? How can that be? I don't know. He just said, "no appointments from 10:00 to 3:00. " Fascinating. The man has blocked out 10:00 to 3:00 every monday of this month. Did you know about this? I need to be informed, Louise. You may recall that I am, in fact, a partner here. Now, what on earth could this man be doing from 10:00 to 3:00? Now, whatever could a person be doing every monday from 10:00 to 3:00? So, we couldn't drink the water, but we could swim in it. I had to buy dad a new bathing suit. Did you know he still had those speedos? Typical. Hey, guys. Hey, Nina. Nina why can't I just order from a table anymore? I got to stand in line to get gourmet coffee. Actually, Wally, if you give it a chance, you'll find it's much faster this way. And have you actually tried the coffee? Yeah, I have, and I really don't like it. Well, of course you didn't, because you're an idiot. Give me your cup. So are you gonna come over for dinner tonight? I doubt it. So, tell me more about camp. I already told you everything. I e-mailed you like every day, remember? Okay, fine, then. Tell me more about school. What are you in -- eighth grade now? Sixth. Today was only the second day, and you pulled me out. If you keep doing that, I might not make it to eighth. You're not gonna miss anything important. Besides, I got to see my little sister some time, right? Can't we do that at dinner? I don't think so. Don't you miss your own bed? Not really. I slept on the ground all summer, anyway. And don't worry about me. I'm fine. No, I know. Amy! Hey. Hey, I didn't know you worked here. Yeah, today's my first day. Yeah, look at you. You've got the uniform and everything -- very official. Kind of a requirement. I can't believe that your dad's making you get a job, too. My dad has totally been on my case about that. Do you think they come up with this crap together? Actually, it was my idea to get a job. I just figured that it'd be nice to have some extra cash lying around so I don't always have to ask my parents. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, but I should get back. Line's going out the door. See you. Are you guys not friends anymore? What? No, no. Of course we're friends. She's just busy right now. Eat your sandwich. Hello? You're never gonna believe what I have planned for tonight. Oh, yeah? Yeah. First, we're going to dinner at this indian restaurant outside the town. They got belly dancers or something. And then I got us tickets to that band you really like -- the guys with the glasses. They're only in town one more night. I scored tickets, so it should be pretty chill. Uh, Bright, about tonight, um, I can't. I just kind of promised that I would do this -- this project, um, for bio. It's, like, an extra-credit thing. There's this rat, and I have to stitch it. It's kind of due tomorrow, so, um Oh, okay. Well, uh, what should we We'll reschedule, okay? All right. Talk to you later. Bye. Oh, god. That was weird. What was weird? I think I just got blown off. I don't think that's ever happened to me. Yeah, me neither. So it couldn't have been that. I'll just give her a quick call back. What? These yours? You're so fussy. Nice selection. The place looks great, by the way. Thank you. Do you know what I miss, though? The stools -- those spinny green ones. Yeah, I know the ones. Oh, so I'm not the first. Well, it's just everybody's got an opinion. Well, you seem kind of busy, so I'll just -- No, no, no, no. Please, stay. Give me an excuse to take a break. I think paperwork is actually worse than waitressing, plus you get these little cuts in your fingers. You see we all think that life's gonna be better if we choose a different path. Maybe we're just kidding ourselves. So you think I should have stayed a waitress the rest of my life to avoid paper cuts? What? No, no, of course not. Well, could you please drop the fancy metaphors and just tell me what you want to talk about? 'Cause I'm too tired to process. It's Ephram. We're fighting again. I don't know what happened. He came home. He was happy. He gave me a present. For a minute, we were like a hallmark card. And then it all just went to crap. Well, he came home, Andy. He must want to be here. I mean, he brought Delia in earlier today. Today? When? I don't know. Noonish. Or later -- it's probably later. What -- did he take her out of school? I just work here. You see? He does want to fight. It's not me. I got to go. Good catching up with you. Any time. Damn. I can make you cereal. No, thank you. What about olives? We have three jars. No, it's okay. I should get going, anyway. No, don't leave yet. That's my cue. You want to tell me why you took her out of school today? You told? No. Nina told me, but it doesn't matter. What were you thinking? Well, you always said that you wanted us to spend more quality time together. Don't be a smartass. Fine. I'm not welcome here. I got to see my little sister somewhere. Of course you're welcome here. I asked you to move back home. It was your choice to walk out the other night. None of this was my choice. You created all of it, and now you refuse to let me move on. Oh. So now we're back to Madison? What about Madison? Why can't you admit that you owe this to me? If it wasn't for you, I'd be at Juilliard right now. No, you should be at Juilliard, and I don't owe you anything. You came waltzing back into this house with your European introspection, but you are still the same spoiled kid. You haven't changed at all. If you had, you wouldn't be doing things for the sole purpose of *** me off, like taking your sister out of school. Just so you know, not everything's about you. Dad, Ephram didn't make me ditch school. I wanted to. - Fine. Then you're grounded. - What? You want to fight with me, too? So, is this your solution for everything now -- to threaten us till we feel like a family? At least I wanted to change. I came back here. I gave it a shot. That's more than you can say. Get up! Hey, man. Thanks again for letting me crash last night. I promise I won't make it a regular thing. Why not? Because your couch has a loose spring that's already taken 6 years off my life. No, I mean, this is stupid. Why don't you just live here? You talking about the closet again? Technically, it's a loft. And if you don't live in it, man, it's just gonna turn into a study or something. Really? Probably not. But it's big enough to put a bed in it, man. What else do you need? Your piano's gone, right? Yeah. Good. I mean, sorry. Come on, dude. You make a very persuasive argument. Let's do it. Yeah! Roommates. You want to see a movie later -- seal the deal with some popcorn and a little Jessica Alba? I don't know. I was supposed to go out with Hannah, but she's kind of being all freaky. Oh, yeah? She didn't call me back for the entire day yesterday. Then she canceled on me for some totally crap-*** reason. Sounds like something you would do. I know which is exactly what scares me. Do you think she's trying to phase me out? What did she say when you talked to her about it? I can ask her about it? You're supposed to talk to her about it. It's called "communication. " It's what relationships are based on. Interesting point. This is good. I'm gonna be 10 times smarter from living with you. I'll come back later. Then this would get cold, and that would be tragic. I thought you were mad at me. I'm not mad at you. And you're not grounded, either. I'm sorry, sweetie. I shouldn't have got you mixed up in what's going on between Ephram and me. But I am mixed up in it, dad. I'm a sister. I'm a daughter. I have a lot of responsibilities here. I know you do. It's like I feel sad for Ephram. He doesn't have a lot of friends right now. It's the first time he's ever wanted to hang out with me. It's kind of cool. Like, when he came to my school yesterday, everyone practically died. Two of the really popular girls even thought he was hot. Isn't that weird? But it's not like it sucks hanging out with you, either. Well, gee, thanks I think. Maybe if he's not coming over for dinner anymore, I could have breakfast with him some days, or -- You shouldn't have to do this. I don't mind. I do. What is a pome granate juice? Well, it's chock full of antioxidants. So it's medicinal? No, it's a drink, Thurman. And if you try it, you just might like it. Doubt it. Could you rummage me up some apple juice or something? That'll be fine. Can everybody see me? - Yeah. - Yeah. Good, because I really want you all to hear this. Mama Joy is dead. In fact, I never even met Mama Joy. She started a restaurant back in the '40s. And all that remains of it today is a publicity photo that they shot for the pine cone. And I'm telling you this so you can stop looking for the cheese grits. You can stop looking for the spinny stools and the sticky counters. And you can just give up on the shepherd's pie, because we don't do that kind of thing here anymore. Change is good. And if you just give it a chance, you might even realize that, sometimes, change is for the better. Right on. How about some orange juice? Well, hello, Dr. Brown. So pleasant of you to join us today. I'm sorry, Harold. Am I late for my interrogation in a 1940s war movie? Oh, there will be no interrogation. I know what you've been up to. Really? This should be good. You block off precious hours of your workday. You receive scrumptious gifts from a mysterious woman. You persist being in a state of good cheer, despite the return of your tempestuous son. - My conclusion - Please. You're fathering a second family in Boulder. Actually, they're my third. My second one lives in Utah -- nice mormon folk. Frankly, I fail to see the humor in any of this. You're obviously up to something. If you don't want to involve me, that's fine. I've been doing surgeries at Colorado A&M. I needed a local surgeon to proctor me so I could get back in the game. - The game? - Mm-hmm. I needed to perform five spinal and brain surgeries under his supervision to prove that I was up to speed on the procedures. When did this happen? Over the summer. I thought about it a lot after Rose's surgery. Why didn't you tell me about this? I didn't want to bother you. You had enough on your mind. Whew. And this Marion Williams Patient. Well good for you. Hey, Dr. Hartman. Hey, Bright. What are you doing here? Oh, um, me and Hannah are kind of Right. Right. Right. Wow. I guess I thought I'd have a couple more years before this moment. What -- before I came to talk to Hannah? No, no, no, no, no. Not Hannah. I mean, being the guy answering the door. You know what I mean. Not really. Is she here? Yeah. She -- yeah. Hey. Bright's here. Yeah. I got the visual. Thanks, Jake. Yes. Okay. Uh, I'll just be upstairs if anybody needs me. And I'm the guy. He's been talking to himself a lot since he moved in. It's weird. What's going on? Do you want a sandwich? Yeah. So, I called you. Did you get my message? Um yes. I was gonna call you back, but homework, you know. Come on, Hannah. Even if you did all the extra credit, which I bet you probably did, you're not gonna be this crazy busy. Come on. What's up? Three dates and out? What? You said you'd only ever been on three dates with someone before it ended. Last night was gonna be our third date. Oh. Oh. Right, yeah. I can see how that might freak you out. Yeah, just a little. But that doesn't necessarily mean that's how it's gonna happen with us. Necessarily? Come on. What do you want me to say? I know exactly for sure what's gonna happen between the two of us. I don't know that. Well, I don't know that, either, but And if I told you the whole "three and out" thing, then you should be happy, because at least I'm being honest with you about who I am as a person. Honesty is the best policy, right? Why should I be happy about knowing you're gonna dump me after three dates? I'm not like some sacrificial ***. I can't just approach the altar with glee, pretending I'm giving my life to something greater. Okay, I don't know what you just said. All I heard was "***. " And we can't avoid a third date just because you think we might break up. Otherwise, we already are broken up after only two dates, and you might as well be Candice. Meredith! Oh, my gosh. Well, look, who cares? The point is, you're not her. Fine. You know what? Let's just do it, okay? Awesome. Great. Date number three -- tomorrow night. Awesome. - I'm looking forward to it. - Yeah, me too. It's not gonna be as great as the original date three, because I only have a day to plan. I'll keep that in mind. Good. I'm glad we communicated. Is there anything else you'd like to share? No, I think we've done enough sharing for right now. You got to save something, right? Okay. All right. Yeah. I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then. Okay. Should be fine in another week, Larry. Just keep taking that ibuprofen. Want to head over to Sam's and get some fancy sandwiches? Thank you for the offer. I'm not in the lunching mood. What's going on with you? Nothing's going on. I'm simply trying to stay out of your way. Since when? Since now. I don't want to get in the habit of depending on you, since you're clearly not going to stay -- not when you have surgery. Is that what this is all about? Do you really expect me to believe that you'll be happy doling out pills to Larry Sugarman when you could be rummaging around inside someone's spinal cord? Yes. Yes, that's why I moved to this town in the first place. Oh, you were in mourning. You wanted to simplify. We see that all the time. Well, now you're yearning for the big city and all the life-threatening diseases it holds, huh? Maybe a little. You're not totally wrong, Harold. I have missed doing surgery, but not because I've been bored. It's because it's the one thing in my life that I do well. I mean, I'm lousy at love. I'm a mediocre father. And according to you, I'm not even very funny. You have your moments. But I'm a great surgeon. I watched Ephram throw his gift away and run from everything. And it's hard not to wonder if maybe I've been doing the same thing. Maybe I'm scared of falling back into the same bad habits. I don't know. But I have to find the balance somehow. Otherwise, I'll never know if I've changed or if I've just been hiding. What is it? I've got to go. What about our fancy sandwiches? Oh! Oh, oh! No, no! No, no, no, no, no! That was 23 hours of artistry, you ogre! I'm moving in with Bright. That makes sense. I want you to know that I get it. What do you get? I think I understand. You want to see if you can make things better. You want to take whatever you learned out there and use it to improve things here. Yeah kind of. Okay, so let's see. Move in with Bright, and let's see what happens with us. And you're seriously okay with that? The only way we can figure this out is if something shifts. And you don't think that me moving in with Bright is gonna shift us further apart? Not if we enforce a dinner policy. See, you already used the words "enforce" and "policy", both bad words. Well, I'm serious. I can't trap you here anymore, but on the other hand, I can't give you money just because you think I owe it to you. Fair enough. But what I can do is make you an offer -- $50 for every dinner you have here. Are you serious? I am. What do you think? I don't know. It sounds vaguely illegal. Well, think of it this way -- you get what you need, I get what I need, and Delia gets what she needs without having to know the whole story. We're gonna need a book to keep track of all the stuff we're keeping from that girl. Are you free tonight? I'll see you then. Dad thank you. Not for this, but for coming in here and talking to me. My plan was just to let it go and not really deal with it -- just pretend nothing happened. I think sometimes that ignoring something gives it too much power. Pretty soon, all we can remember is what it is we were trying to forget. I'll see you tonight, Ephram. I'm sorry I hit you with the mallet. You know whac-a-mole. It's crazy. They should give you protective goggles or something. Yeah. Well, it was really nice dating you. Oh, come on. What? I'm saving you the trouble. This way, you don't have to break up with me. I'm not breaking up with you. Not now, but maybe at the end of the night. Hannah, please stop guessing what I'm gonna do before I do it. It makes it hard to actually do stuff. Not that I'm breaking up with you -- I'm not. Why not? We're obviously having a horrible time. Yeah. I feel like this is all my fault, but I don't know what I did wrong. All I did is I said the truth. But we haven't earned that yet -- not in this relationship, anyway. And you lost me again. Okay. Come here. Come here, come here. I loved it when you used to tell me everything about your life last year. But now that I'm dating you, it's different. You need to develop a sensor. I feel like it's a little too late for that now. I already told you I like to freeball in the summer. How are you supposed to unknow the stuff that you know? No, I can't. But there's new stuff. And that stuff, you just -- you shouldn't tell me. Not yet. So you want me to play games with you now that we're together. No, no, no. It's not a game. Okay, um when we became friends last year, we didn't just jump in and say all the really intense stuff right away. Like, I didn't even tell you about my dad until way later. That's true. Because we were building something new. We were -- we didn't know if we could trust each other. But, so this is new. This relationship is different from the one we had before, and I just think we need to start from the beginning. You just can't say all the really super honest stuff yet because we just haven't gotten there yet. You know, we need to earn it. I don't know what I'm supposed to say and what I'm not supposed to say. Like, right now, there's something pretty big in there. But I'm not sure I should tell you, because it has to do with the "three dates and out" thing. Oh, what the heck? I doubt it could make tonight any worse than it's already been so far, so go ahead. Okay. Here goes. I never wanted a fourth date before until now. I do. I want more. I want 80 more. Hey. - We're kind of closed. - I know. What am I supposed to be doing? What do you mean? Should I have e-mailed you while I was gone? I didn't know. I've been trying to give you space since I got back, because I thought that's what you wanted. Now I'm starting to think that space isn't the right thing. So what -- what should I be -- apologizing? No. You didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, but something's off. And history shows that, when something's off, it's usually my fault. What can I do? Nothing. I probably should have said something sooner. I guess I was just hoping that there would be nothing left to say. It took me a long time to get here, Ephram -- all summer, really. June -- I was talking to you like you were still here. July -- I was angry that you left. August -- I was writing you letters that I never sent to you. And now Now you're over me? No. No, I'm not over you. I'm over it. I can't keep crying over you, Ephram. I don't want you to. You meet somebody else? No. No, I just don't want you to be worrying about stuff you shouldn't or should have done when I'm not. I'm not worried. So if I'm not worried and you're not worried, then why can't we just go back to being friends like always? 'Cause we were never friends not really. I mean, do you remember a time when there wasn't something hanging over us -- something I wanted to say, but didn't, something you wanted to say, but couldn't? I can't do it anymore. Okay. I get it. So, what now? We just, um we don't speak? No, we'll see each other around. I mean, here we are. You just had to come back, didn't you? I never meant to mess things up this bad. I know. We can still talk. We just can't go back.
