I could talk to him, if you'd like. Dr. Brown. I wouldn't enjoy it, mind you, but I could do that for you, if you'd like.
I wish I would have told someone when I knew he was getting this sick. I never should have pretended that I didn't see it. I don't know why I did that.
My dad used to say there's a thin line between fishing and sitting in a boat getting drunk.
It's a fine line to straddle.
[voiceover] I wasn't there the day Colin Hart's life changed forever, but you could feel the earth shake a little from quite a ways off... at the end of it, the young boy and all who loved him would never be the same. In an opposite corner of the world another man's tragedy kept time with Colin Hart's... Andy Brown did what any man would do who felt he had lost everything, he disappeared. He fell apart, lost his center, lost his way... the girl took her chance when she saw it. She begged the doctor's son to help her in her cause, and he did because he loved her and could refuse her nothing. And so it came to pass that one man's tragedy and one boy's loss met... and the boy was saved, and the man was saved, at least for a time... although Colin had cheated death, a little death had crept inside. He was not whole. He was not himself. His own changed face frightened him. He pushed those he cared for far away. The good doctor believed that this boy could still be saved, and that he was the one who could save him, but the boy hadn't decided if life was worth dying for. The choice was all his own...
What can you promise me?
Nothing.
Okay, I'm in.
[voiceover] This is the story of Colin Hart and Andy Brown. It's the story of a town that lost its center and strove to regain it. This is the story of Everwood.
Do you remember that girl in the dean's office I was trying to sweet talk into getting me out of Douglas's rotation? Well on our first date she gets in my car and she makes a face like she just sat on a cat. Then she drags me here, puts in me in her Volvo, points to the stick shift and says, 'No self-respecting surgeon should be allowed to drive an automatic.' It was around then I decided I wanted a second date.
Didn't Mom drive a Volvo?
Is this Colin's idea of pre-operatative preparation? Corrupting other youths into committing vandalism?
Uhm, I don't know what you just said...but we're not going to graffiti anything.
I know you think it's your fault.
Well, that's like, cause it is.
Listen... the thing is. Ya know, I remember the inflatable swimming pool you had in your front lawn. Ya know, and the frog that we got from the pet store and we killed because we thought he'd like the washing machine.
Sparky.
And the first time I slept over at your house... You're it man. You're my best friend. Whatever it was that happened that night. It's all good between us.
I thought you'd be in New York already.
I think I'm gonna skip New York this year. I mean, it's the worst time to go anyway.
Really? I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's super humid. Maybe for Christmas.
Yea, it'd probably be nice to be home for the holidays.
Yea, maybe, but...
But what?
I am home.
[voiceover] It's hard to say what happened exactly. For the most part it depends on who you ask. There are as many sides to a story as there are pairs of eyes. It's always been that way; one of those sides must be closer to the truth, but we'll never know which one. I try even now to look back at that time, look past the blame and outrage that made it all so hard to see anything. I try to piece it together; what follows is all I know.
I should've called you Laynie.
It wasn't your decision.
No, you, you should've been there.
Some days I'm really mad about it. Sometimes, you know, I'm glad I wasn't there. I got a whole extra day to feel normal again.
[voiceover] The funeral for Colin Hart fell on the first warm day of spring. For many who attended, it was the most difficult day they had ever known. But the day was kind enough to pass. I'd like to say it took a while for Everwood to return to business as usual, but it didn't. Bright and Amy went back to their usual summer jobs; Ephram joined them, though his duties were a little less glamorous.
[about Dr. Brown] I wish he wasn't your father, Ephram. I wish I didn't have to think of him every time I talked to you.
[voiceover] Sometimes it is only with the ending of a season that a storyteller can find the most appropriate ending to his tale. As the last hours of summer crept up on Everwood, it seemed everybody was just about ready for a change. A fresh start, filled with new adventures and new friends, and some old ones, and those somewhere in between. For if death reminds us of anything, it reminds us of just how resilient the human spirit is... when it wants to be. [edit]
Who is that?
Stacy Wilson. It's kinda hard to tell since...
Since the hooter fairy paid her a visit.
Too bad you only recognize her now that she's stacked.
It's not my fault I'm shallow. It's how God made me. Blame him.
Dad, can I wear this shirt?
Sure. Why not?
I can't remember if I wore it yesterday.
I don't think it matters in fourth grade, honey.
