1X01 - "Pilot"

Andy: Everwood, Colorado. Somebody told me about it once. Said it was most beautiful place that they'd ever seen. It's on this hill, or was it a mountain? maybe it was on a hill by a mountain.

1X02 - "Friendly Fire"

Andy: Hope you're watchin' this Julia. Bet you're getting a big kick out of this. Cause this is for you sweetheart. That's right Mrs. Brown, your whole family left a civilized life, in a civilized city and moved to some godforsaken mountain town cause your train stopped here in 1964 cause you fell in love with some purple mountains and some fluffy clouds, but you didn't know this town Julia, you didn't meet the people cause you didn't get past the gift shop. I moved into a snowglobe. [yells] What am I doing here?

1X03 - "The Kissing Bridge"

Andy: When I was first working in New York, I had to perform a lumbar puncture it's basically a spinal tap on this kid that was brought in. Couldn't have been more than 17 years old. Good looking, clean cut, well to do family. His name was Alfie. I remember that because it was so unusual. Anyway, I did the LP, assessed that there was no menigitis and went about my rounds. I couldn't stop thinking about Alfie all night. I found out later that the doctors were performing all sorts of tests, a couple of days later, I went back to Alfie's room, just to check him out, thinking maybe I could figure out what he had. But Alfie was already dead. 17 years old. Six months and thousands of Alfie's later, his sickness finally got a name.
Ephram: AIDS.
Andy: I needed you to know why I had to come to your school, Ephram. I needed you to hear that story because I want you to always be careful. I can't afford to lose another person I love.
Ephram: Why didn't you tell me that story before?
Andy: I have no idea how to get your attention ephram.
Ephram: What's that supposed to mean?
Andy: It means I don't know what to say to you. One day you seem to hate me, the next day you still hate me, and other days you just..hate me. That's not a lot to work with. So if maybe you could tell me when I do say the right thing, I'll make a note of it and do it more often.

1X07 - "Till Death Do Us Part"

Andy: Just over 8 months ago was the last time I knew life was worth living. All my dreams died with julia. I wake up every morning an I wish I was still asleep. See, the thing is.. I .. my heart is still pumping, I'm still breathing, I still move in the world, but I've lost my joy. we don't talk a lot [God]. I don't complain to you. I don't ask for favors. I don't whine about fairness, and I never believed you owed me anything. But I am telling you, I've got nothing left. I used to have a gift. Now everything I touch, everyone I touch is just as broken as I am. I got two kids who need a mother and a father. These days I'm not much good to anyone, let alone them. I thought I knew what you needed from me. I thought I knew what my life was about. But I don't know anything. You gotta help me.. please.. please give me my joy back. [crying]

1X10 - "A Thanksgiving Tale"

Nina: You're right Delia. Nothing is the way it used to be. Nobody knows how to be your mom. No one could ever replace her. Your dad and Ephram just wanted to make Thanksgiving nice for you because they know how much you love it. And because your mom loved it. But you're right. It's not the same. It's ok to be sad that it's not. It's ok that you miss her. Your daddy misses her, and Ephram misses her too and she misses you. But she wouldn't want you to be sad forever, because she only wants those good happy things for you. And it's alright to feel bad because she was SO important to you and because she loves you very much.

1X11 -"Vegetative State"

Andy: Well I'd love to say he was an angel, but there were too many witnesses.
Nina: Oh boy.
Andy: No he was okay. I learned how to make a cape. And how to unclog a toilet. And how to get a chewy cookie out of the VCR.
Nina: Oh I'm so sorry.
Andy: And I had a chance to think about his condition.
Nina: Condition? So you made a diagnosis?
Andy: I have.
Nina: I should've just put him on the pills and saved you the headache.
Andy: He doesn't need drugs Nina, don't get me wrong he's uh -
Nina: A terror.
Andy: I was going to say a handful. [pause] When Ephram was about 5, I used to take him down to the South Street Seaport. They had all these big video games, but all he watned to do was to play pinball. He was too small to reach both the flippers, so I worked the right flipper, and he used the left. He used to make me take him there every saturday. Rain, shine, blizzard.
Nina: Glad to know you two weren't always at war.
Andy: About a year later, I started my practice. I missed our first trip to the arcade. I promised him to take him the following staruday. Somehow I missed that one too. And then I just.. lost track.. a couple of months later I felt so bad that I bought him his own pinball machine. But when I showed it to him he didn't want it. He said he didn't like pinball anymore. Somewhere between the arcade, and the playroom, I lost ephram. And it wasn't because he needed medication.
Nina: He needed his dad.
Andy: I think Sam just misses his father. He's figured out the wilder he acts, the more attention he acts. That's not ADD, that's just smart. Oh and by the way, keep him away from sugar.

1X15 - "My Funny Valentine"

Andy: Dear Valentine, Come away with me. If I had a day with you and you only, I would enjoy the simple things, the things in the end when time steals the rest away, the only things that we'd remember. I'd paddle you a cross a still lake, and read poetry until you fell asleep. And I'll never ever think of the hours.

Dear Valentine, these are the things I remember of my life. A warm hand, your warm breath, your warm mouth, your arms around mine. I remember feeling safe. Ceaseless. Like one person. The two of us still, at rest, entwined. I remember how I felt the first time I kissed you. It felt like the high dive. What do you remember? How will I ever know what was inside your heart? Where do they go? All the things we think and feel, but don't say.

Dear Valentine, These are the things I never told you. These are the things I need you to know. That I loved you always and my love was so big that it lived still after you're gone. I'd like to tell you that I'd do it differently. That if I had one more day, that I would do everything right. But I know that isn't true. I'd make all the same mistakes. All except one. I wouldn't say goodbye.

1X19 - "Moonlight Sonata"

Bright: Do you think if aliens probe you, you'd still be considered a virgin?

2X01 - "The Last of Summer"

Eprhram: The kitchen is backed up right now sir, there's some kind of problem.
Mr. Macabee: Who are you again? Why are you so pale?
Ephram: Ephram Brown. Towel boy. I was born with unusually fair skin. In fact, this is me tan.
Mr. Macabee: What happened in the kitchen?
Ephram: I don't know -- the grill -- it caught fire.
Mr. Macaee: It's a grill, it's made to be on fire.
Ephram: Good pont, want me to check it out?
Mr. Macabee: No, I'll do it myself -- you stay in the sun.

2X02 - "Extra Ordinary"

Laynie: From walflower to prom queen in two cup sizes.
Bright: I love puberty. Are you sure she's not new?
Amy: It's too bad you only know she's alive now that she's stacked.
Bright: It's not my fault I'm shallow. It's the way God made me -- blame him.

James: People forget how rare this kind of gift is. I mean, do you even realize the confluence of events required to get one great player? The right ear is one in a million.. Musical ability to let it all shine, one in fifty thousand, now to bring those two together in one person -- do the math.
Ephram: If I could, I wouldn't have to study for the SAT's.

Ephram: Am I about to be as bored as I think I'm about to be bored?
Amy: And paying for the privilege.

Amy: Ephram, I think your dad's here.
Ephram: No. Impossible. My dad would never show up in school. He'd know I'd kill him.
Laynie: No, I really think it's him.
Ephram: Oh please, God no.

2X03 - "My Brother's Keeper"

Andy: That was fatherly advice, wasn't it?
Ephram: Not bad.
Andy: See, i really am getting better.
Ephram: Hey dad, one more thing. Can I go to a frat party tonight?
Andy: A frat party?
Ephram: yes, there's going to be drinking, drugs, unprotected sex. I'll probably be the youngest person there. Besides I don't want to go, I have to.
Andy: Why?
Ephram: Because you just said that if I know something, I have to do something about it.
Andy: And so having said that, I'm all but forced to let you go to a party I never would have agreed to prior. Maybe you're getting better at this.

Andy: Well, you sure that it's.. I mean marriages can somemtimes survive these things.
Nina: Yeah some marriages can. I don't think this particular one will. He wasn't just having an affair, he was having an affair with a man.
Andy: Oh. Wow.
Nina: Yeah.. I had a slightly more pronounced reaction.

2X04 -"East Meets West"

Andy: Why don't you tell me how you really feel?
Nina: I'm sorry, but it's true. You push people to do things, decide when they should move on, and how they should move on; me, Jim Hart and half this town. What about you?
Andy: What about me?
Nina: You haven't moved on. Julia's been gone almost two years, and you still wear your damn wedding ring!
Andy: It's not the same thing.
Nina: Right. Because it's you.

Andy: I hired her so that you wouldn't have to watch Delia all the time. I didn't expect a hug or anything, but I thou ght you'd be overcome with.. whatever passes for joy with you.

2X05 - "Daddy's Little Girl"

Ephram: So you grounded Delia?
Andy: That's right.
Ephram: You feeling good about that decision?
Andy: I was until about five seconds ago.

Narrator: Some fathers may enjoy the pedestal their daughters place them on. but the best ones step down and allow their flaws to be seen. It is from these unsung fathers that daughters learn what's most important in this life -- how to embrace joy, how to endure sorrow, and how to live each day to the fullest, not knowing which of those two is on the horizon.

"Blind Faith"

Nina: Hello.
Andy: Hey
Nina: That was quite a sermon you gave especially coming from a heathen like yourself.
Andy: What can I say? I was inspired.
Nina: Well they are pretty inspirational.
Andy: Oh by the way, thanks for doing Delia's hair last night.
Nina: It's in my neighbor contract. You sign it at the beginning of every year, you just have to read the fine print.
Andy: Oh really, and what are my neighborly obligations?
Nina: Dance with me at weddings?
Andy: Now that's what I call timing. Shall we?

Narrator: Distance has a way of distorting things we see. But what appears as an obstacle may in fact be an opportunity. The trick is havng enough faith to carry it through.

Madison: Ephram, relax. You're way too uptight.
Ephram: I'm not uptight.
Madison: Dude, you're clutching so hard right now your fingerprints have made permanent marks on my steering wheel.
Ephram: I'm just deceptively strong that's all.

Harold: Think about it Rose. There could be nephews. Miniature little Andrew Browns underfoot with pale skin and black clothes. "Uncle Harry, could I go to the rap concert with Ephram? We're like, hitchhiking."

Madison: Look, Ephram, I think you're great. And I like hanging out with you. And I never meant to give you the wrong impression or anything. But I'm older, and employed by your father... and again.. older..
Ephram: I know, those gray hairs are blinding me.. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

2X07 - "Three Miners in Everwood"

Daniel Sullivan: Not much for talking. I've always loved living in this town. As much as I've loved going under it everday, working the mines. I don't know why, but I do. My wife Millie, some of you may know her; she's always had bigger ideas. She's always wanted to see the world. But most of all she's wanted to live on a shore. On a coast somewhere where I could walk outside and fly a kite after dinner, somewhere on a salt sea with ducks.. and uh.. a lighthouse off in the distance, telling us we're home. "Take me there." She said that the night she let me marry her, and I said ok. The only problem is, I never did. And she didn't make me. Cuz she knows what I love. So, I never took Millie to live in the.. seaside town with a beach for a backyard and a light house off in the dsistance, but if she stayed with me for fifteen years here in Everwood, the least I can do is bring some of the life back here, to her. Uh.. well I guess I got some.. some floorwork to finish..

2X09 - "Just Like In The Movies"

Linda: This has to stop.
Andy: So you got the balloons.
Linda: I did, but I don't want them, and I don't want the flowers either. Do you understand?
Andy: Not a big fan of presents, got it.
Linda: No, it's not the presents. It's you Andy. I'm not interested in you. I'm sorry, I was hoping we wouldn't have to have this conversation but obviously we do. The thing is, I'm not attacted to you, and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression but I don't want to date you, and I don't foresee anything romantic happening between us.

Andy: I know you told me to stop
Linda: So you decide to ignore that and serenade me instead?
Andy: Well I had to make sure that I tried absolutely everything.

Ephram: So, what'd he do? Was it just the standard obnoxious behavior or what?
Madison: Jay broke up with me, well, because he felt I didn't care about him the way he cared about me. And he wasn't wrong.
Ephram: Well that happens.
Madison: Yeah it does. But then he accused me of liking somebody else.
Ephram: Somebody else? Please tell me it's not the drummer.
Madison: No, it's not the drummer.
Ephram: Good, but there is somebody else?
Madison: You know, I didn't think that there was, because when jay said it, I told him he was crazy. Me and this other guy, we're just friends. But then I realized that I get excited every time I know I'm going to see this particular friend. My stomach gets a little fluttery when he walks intot he room I don't know when that changed exactly... Might have been the first time I saw him play his music... Or maybe it was when he told me how he felt about me...Nobody's ever talked to me like that before. It was like he was ten years older than me, instead of four years younger. And the clincher was, when he kissed me, ,I don't know, from that moment I just came undone.
Ephram: Well unfortunately your taste in guys leaves a little something to be desired. But if this is w hat your gut is telling you, I think you gotta go for it.

2X10 - "Unhappy Holidays"

Andy: Listen --
Linda: Andy, whatever you're about to do, say, you don't have to, let's just skip it okay?
Andy: No, I owe you an apology. I've been avoiding you lately.
Linda: I've noticed.
Andy: I can't help it. I have this laundry list of reason to..to avoid you spinning around in my head. Not being sure, being concerned about your health. Being afraid of how my kids are going to react. Not to mention the fact that you've shown absolutely no interest in me whatsoever.
Linda: That's not true, is it?
Andy: As I remember, my asking you out was a pretty spectacular failure. Your rejection of me was so sweeping.
Linda: I loved the roses.
Andy: You did?
Linda: And the balloons. Although mylar and latex are just terrible for the environemnt. [pause] Andy, you have every right to be scared for all the reasons that you said. Except for one. I am interested. Very interested. [it begins to snow] It's starting to snow.
Andy: First one of the year.
Linda: I've always had this obsession with the first snowfall of the year. I don't know what it was. I just thought it was just so perfect and pure and that it was the start -- [Andy kisses her]

Narrator: Holidays are a time we enact age old rituals; solemn rights passed down from one generation to the next. A time for family and friends and good cheer. They're also a time for giving and receiving. A time for surprise. Some surprises are hidden in boxes, wrapped up in colorful paper, and ribbons. Still others we carry inside, concealed in our own hearts, while we wait for just the right moment to reveal them.
Andy: What the HELL is going on?
Narrator: Unfortunately, not all surprises are good ones.
Ephram: Okay, I'm sixteen, so what? would it be better if I was having sex with someone my own age?
Madison: Ephram. Dr. Brown. I swear, we did not have sex. No sex at all.

Harold: Amy's dating an alcoholic?
Bright: Oh no, no, no. He's more into drugs. He got busted last year with a crapload of crystal meth, like five baggies worth of weed. But he might just have been selling the pot.
Harold: So he's a dealer as well as a junkie. That's wonderful. Bright, are you sure about this? Or are these simply rumors?
Bright: Look, all I know is he got kicked out of County two years ago.
Harold: For drugs?
Bright: No, he tried to burn the school down. So he's kinda an arsonist to. Might wanna hide the matches.

Harold: Please, you can dispense with the fashionable self-pity. My daughter is dating a paroled addict. If it were a contest you wouldn't even rank.
Andy: My sixteen-year old son is dating his twenty year old babysitter.
Harold: Barkeep, two more on my tab.

2X11 - "Family Dynamics"

Andy: Hi.
Linda: Hi
Andy: Can Linda come out and play?
Linda: You're not going to sing for me again are you?
Andy: No, but I can dance. Actually I'm here to ask you out on a date. I've worked it out with Delia, and she's completely on board. All you have to worry about is my grating personality and utter lack of charm.
Linda: I'm glad to hear that about Delia, but you know your kids aren't the only issue.
Andy: I know.
Linda: I mean I'm ok now, but that can change any day at any time.
Andy: Well I can get hit by a truck tomorrow. Look I'd be lying to you if I told you that your symptoms didn't scare me at first. But it's one thing to start dating again. It's another to date a woman that I could lose. But I'm just not going to sit back and watch life pass me by without trying to find a little piece of happiness along the way. And neither should you. Look, all I'm asking for is one date. Dinner and a movie. Ok an expensive dinner. Maybe sushi. Do vegetarians eat fish?

Narrator: Pressure also has a way of exposing our fault lines, bringing to the surface things that might better have stayed buried deep below. Once they're out though, they're awful hard to put back.

Ephram: Well she's 10. Buy her a Barbie doll. She'll forget about the whole thing.
Dr. Brown: I am not going to bribe your sister.

Madison: Okay, what's bugging you? And don't tell me it's Moo Shu, because no amount of unwanted pork should distract you from a possible make out session. Especially when there's no possibility of us getting caught.

Amy: You and Dad say that you love me, but you don't. Not really. You love who I used to be, y ou love who you want me to be. It's totally conditional and it's unfair.

Ephram: Figured I'd skip the saga of unreturned phone calls and just ambush ya.
Madison: With pizza?
Ephram: Well, you can't eat flowers. This is more of a practical peace offering.
Madison: You have a lot to learn.
Ephram: I'm pretty quick. Look I have a feeling I screwed up. Just wanted to be sure.

2X12 - "Controlling Interest"

Linda: Oh you're getting too good at this.
Andy: Well it's manages to maturity. Experience. And wisom.
Linda: And vocabulary.
Andy: And theres that. Plunder. Double word score, for 28 points. Take that.
Linda: Oh I think I should just admit defeat gracefully.
Andy: Oh come on, you can't give up that easily.
Linda: Oh.. here's a little word just for you. Oh wait a minute, there's more.
Andy: Now I know you just landed a triple word score, but did you just proposition me?
Linda: Possibly, probably.
Andy: I should go.
Linda: What?
Andy: It's 9 o'clock. I gotta pick up delia.
Linda: I thought she was at Britney's house.
Andy: She is, but if she stays too long, they find something to fight about. Which delia says means they're best friends. Girls are complicated.

Andy: Hey, did you get my message?
Linda: Yeah, that was about an hour ago.
Andy: I am so sorry, I must've lost track of time. I'm really excited about tonight.
Linda: Yea me too.
Andy: Its just this case I'm working on got tough tonight. I'm dealin with this eating disorder that no one wants to see, or see treated, and.. you don't want to hear about my case do you?
Linda: Not really. Let me ask you something. How do you think this is going?
Andy: You and me? I think it's great.
Linda: Yeah so do I and that's the problem. If things were going badly then we'd break up and you wouldn't have to find reasons to hide from me.
Andy: Come on Linda, don't read into this. A patient came to me with a serious problem, what was I supposed to do?
Linda: Nothing, let's just ofrget it.
Andy: No wait a minute, do you think I planned this? Do you think I hired a bulimic to screw up our date?
Linda: No, but I think that if it wasn't this patient, then it would be another one. Look things are getting complicated here, it makes sense you'd retreat into medicine. You're in control there. You told me you used to miss birthdays with your kids, and now it'll be dinners with me.
Andy: I didn't tell you that so you could throw it back in my face.
Linda: Sorry I'm not tryin to. I'm just tryin to understand, and I think I do.
Andy: No you don't.
Linda: You're a doctor. It's.. It's just smart. No one is going to argue with that --
Andy: Oh come on, here we go.
Linda: No one is going to say, "don't go help people." and I can't compete with that, no one can.
Andy: Will you just stop it Julia! [recovers] I am so sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.
Linda: You should go.
Andy: Let me explain.
Linda: You don't need to.

Andy: No talking for two minutes. That's all I ask.
Linda: Andy.. it's fine. I understand, really. I mean, you change your mind about us, and you certainly have every reason to. It's just that you were so sure about us before.
Andy: I know. It was fantastic. [pause] The whole thing. I met you, and I couldn't sleep. I told you how I felt, and that was unstoppable. And then I kissed you by those Christmas trees, and you kissed me back. And that was perfect.
Linda: The snow helped.
Andy: Listen nothing would feel more right than to take that next step right now, and stay. And really not play Scrabble.
Linda: But.. I have a disease and that scares you.
Andy: No that's not it. I understand the risks. And I'm okay with it.
Linda: Well then.. why have you been hiding behind a 16 year old bulimic boy?
Andy: Because you were right. Every time things get messy, I hide behind my work.
Linda: But.. if you're not afraid of HIV--
Andy: I'm not afraid of sleeping with you because of HIV. I'm afraid because of what it means. If we take this to the next level, I know that we could be starting something that's a whole lifetime. I haven't been here in a long time Linda, and I didn't think I would ever be here again. But I am. I'm here.
Linda: Not for very long.
Andy: Wait a minute, you're kicking me out, after all of that?
Linda: Well it's almost nine, i think you need to be scittering out of here.
Andy: Actually Delia has a sleepover.
Linda: Since when?
Andy: Since I made plans for her when I said I was coming over here.
Linda: What made you so sure I was going to accept your apology?

Narrator: It's amazing how far we'll go just to maintain some measure of control. The world spins a circle within a circle and we grip so tight it makes our knuckles white. When all we really want to do is let go, lose control, fall, see where we land.

2X13 - "Forget Me Not"

Narrator: There's nothing in the world like being young and in love. It gives you the power to do things you wouldn't have the courage to do otherwise. It inspires you to make yourself vulnerable; put yourself on the line.

To give more than you could give. To speak heartfelt sentiments that only existed in books and flowery poetry. And it can make you forget everything, but love itself. That one thing that makes life worth living. The object of your affection.

Inspired by love we can move mountains, make great changes, do great things. But we can also become so blinded by it, that we forget everything, everyone. Even ourselves.

Amy: No it's n ot. I'm glad it worked out with you two. Must be cool having so much in common - the whole music thing. So did she actually ever see the Beatles play or..?
Ephram: Oh oh oh, very funny. And how's Rico Suave? You guys sharing needles yet?

Andy: Delia's over at Brittany's. I figured you'd be with Madison tonight. Wait a minute, why aren't you with Madison tonight?
Ephram: Would you believe that we decided our relationship is strong enough that we don't need to spend every waking moment together?
Andy: No.
Ephram: Then I think we're in a fight.

2X17 - "Unfinished Business"

Narrator: Sometimes it's easier to prtend things are okay rather than face a difficult truth. So we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life. We hopoe the comfortable rhythms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer. Return things to normal. Anything to buy us more time. Playing, pretend, make believe. It might be the one thing we never outgrow.

2X18 - "Last Looks"

Ephram: You know, I say we keep talking until we run out of fries.
Amy: We can always buy more fries.

Nina: I hate to rain on your parade, but you are not the one who just broke up.
Andy: Hey I wish it was me. Me - I could handle. Knock back a bottle of Glenlivit and call it a night. You can't drown your kids in alcohol to get them through a breakup, can you?

2X20 - "Do or Die"

Narrator: There are th ings that go without saying. And there are things better left unsaid. There are things that should never be uttered aloud. And there are things you got to hear to believe. But the ones that stay with us, are the things we long to say.. but don't.

Bright: oh no,you didn't just go that route did you? Geez, man, give someone a simple set of instructions. Now I know exactly how my teachers feel.

Ephram: I don't know, I mmean you remember last year, when I was totally into you and I'd never felt that way before?
Amy: Yeah.
Ephram: Well, I thought that meant something, but I mean to feel that way about somebody and to have them feel that way back.. it's...
Amy: It was better.

Ephram: Yes and no. I think it might be kinda like when my mom died, you know, it's one of those things that just changes you. I mean, cause once you'vehad that once you've felt that way about somebody and they've felt that way about you, and then it ends, and they don't feel that way about you anymore, it's like you're more alone th an before you ever met em. Like the momst alone that you've ever been.
Amy: Well, maybe someone will come along and you won't feel that way anymore.

Bright: So it's just not htere for you anymore huh? That sucks. I mean, don't take this personal or anything, but I think you have bad relationship karma. First you fall for a girl whose boyfriend is in a coma, I mean, that's like hopelessly bad timing. Then you go for a girl who's twenty, again another timing problem. But now Amy's back, and she's got this total thing for you, and she tells you about the same night you run into the other girl. What exactly did you tell my sister anyways? Told her that?
Ephram: I told her it was bad timing.

2X21 - "Your Future Awaits"

Amy: Look, half of these kids that are here today are just good at playing the piano. Their parents told th em so, their grandparents told them so. Umm.. now they're trying to use that skill to get into some fancy college so that thehy don't have to go to science class anymore. They're here to impress three old men who are gonna help them get into Julliard, but that's not why you're here.
Ephram: What's that?
Amy: No, you don't need some stupid school to tell you what you're gonna do with your life. You already know. You're gonna play piano. It's your destiny, your fate or wahtever you want to call it. So you don't get to decide when or if you play piano; you just do, because it's who you are. That's why we're here today.

Bright: Oh why, cause you're scared. Yeah, I get that. Okay, I'm mastering in scary right now, but maybe this is the point, to have a chance to be scared. Taht's why I didn't want to go to graduation. I didn't want to be the only kid freaking out not knowing what I was going to do next. But now that I think about it, I'll also be the only one who's psyched to figure it out. Almost makes me want to go.
Narrator: We're taught to remember only significant moments - the rites of passage. In truth, the smallest steps that get us to these momentous occasions are just as significant. Looking back, we see it's not just the high points, but the low points that also define who we are and who we will become.

2X22 - "The Day Is Done"

Narrator: 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.

Julia: Sixteen years. Good luck. You know, Andy, don't feel sorry about forgetting to 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.

3X21 - "Oh The Places You Will Go"

My Dearest ephram, I've been sitting in our kitchen for the last half hour simply imagining you wondering what you must be thinking right now,what you must be feeling,how handsome you must look in your cap and gown. If you're thinking about me, stop. Send a kiss to the sky and then focus your thoughts on what's coming towards you not what you left behind. I'm forever entwined in your past, your present and your future. You needn't pause to look for me. I'm right here. If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise your heart and your mind as you crate you own path towards happiness. Don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present each moment as it comes because you will never get another one quite like it. And if yous hould ever look up, and find yourself lost simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart. Where your hope lives. You'll find your way again. Love, Mom

3X22 - "Where the Heart Is"

Andy: Not exactly, but I've decided to stay.
Nina: Oh thank god! I was gonna pretend to be supportive if I had to but I'm so glad I don't have to. So what did it? The price of living, the mountain air, Harold's ties?
Andy: Oh, a little bit of everything. Let's just say I'm not done with Everwood yet.
Nina: No?
Andy: No, no. You know when I first got here, I thought it was just for my family and my kids, but over the last few years this town and the people in it become like an extended family to me. Some more so than others. And because old habits die hard, I've taken the ones I cared about most for granted. I've taken you for granted Nina.
Nina: No you haven't.
Andy: Yes, yes I have. And in the process I missed it. I missed our moment. We had one didn't we?
Nina: I dont know what you mean.
Andy: Yes you do, this thing that we have.. this back and forth; its more than just a friendship. It's a connection. it's a force that's carried me through the past few years, and I didn't even realize it. I didn't even KNOW it until now.
Nina: Didn't know what?
Andy: That it's you. It's always been you.
Nina: Andy..
Andy: You were the one who's always been there for me. For my kids. When I first came here, you took me into your home, you took me into your heart, you helped me to heal mine. You did that. I'm not done with everwood, because that life that I want, that life that you told me I deserved to have. I can't have it without you Nina.
Nina: Andy.. I don't know what to say, I mean, you're a little late. Jake is here.
Andy: Yes I know. And I know you have feelings for him, and I know those feelings may be stronger than the ones you have for me. Are they?
Nina: I don't know. How did you know that I had..
[they kiss]
Andy: I don't know if what I'm doing right now is brave or just selfish I just can't tell anymore. One thing I know for certain is that you would be the gretest choice I could ever make. And if you would choose me back then I know I could make you happy. If you let me.
[enter Jake]
Jake: Honey, I'm home.
Nina: Hey..
