Ephram Brown quotes from Everwood

Ephram

So, is everything all right?

Have you been watching Lifetime or something?

Andy

[Referring to online dating] Look, no one is more depressed about this than I am, but this is how people meet these days. I mean, Diane Lane's doing it, how bad can it be?

Ephram

That was a movie.

Andy

Yes, but it was a movie she agreed to do, so she must have found the character plausible.

Ephram

Don't you have to at least kiss a girl to know that you're gay?

Reid

I don't know. Do you have to kiss a guy to know that you're straight?

Andy

What if he's gay?

Ephram

Isn't he a little young to know if he's gay?

Any words of advice?

Ephram

Yeah... don't suck.

Andy

You would sell your soul for a toaster?

Ephram

It's a kick-ass toaster.

Ephram

What would you do? Would you have forgiven me?

Amy

Probably not, but you would never have done what Bright did.

Ephram

Yeah true, only because I know you would have come after me with a knife.

Amy

[walks into the room as Ephram is playing the piano] When are you gonna start playing stuff that I can sing along to?

Ephram

Well, if you can't sing along to Rachmaninoff, then I don't think I can help you.

Reid

I really feel like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz right now.

Ephram

And you wonder why we always think you're gay.

Andy

Don't tell me you were just talking to that man there.

Ephram

Yeah, why? Do you know him?

Andy

He's my father.

Ephram

You're not working on any plan. I came in here yesterday and you were watching the Lifetime channel.

Bright

That was all in the spirit of research, my friend, okay? Besides, Meredith Baxter Birney? Total MILF.

I had this Physics professor that looked like Johnny Depp. Made calculating stuff a lot more interesting.

Ephram

You know, I've been told that I have a Depp-like quality.

You were lied to.

Ephram

I mean, everybody's got that picture in their mind. The one of, you know, how they think their life's supposed to be.

Andy

Well, the thing about the picture is... how do you look in it? It's not about who you're standing next to, or what's in the background... it's are you smiling? Are you happy? Are you good with the choices that you've made? Because if you are, it doesn't matter where you're standing or who you're standing next to... it's... it's a good picture.

Amy

Don't say anything yet. I wanna go first, and since I brought the Ferris wheel I figured you'd let me. Okay, um. Four years ago, you came to my little town, and you changed my life. I never thought that one person could do that to another, but you did. And from the moment I met you and each moment after that, somehow everything that happened to me, kept coming back to you. I don't know if the Ferris wheel reminds you of anything...

Ephram

Are you kidding me? How could I forget our first Thawfest? It's when you first told me your nickname was Grover.

Amy

I can't believe you remember that.

Ephram

I remember everything about us, Amy.

Amy

Me, too. See, that's the thing. Every time I try to forget the feelings that I have for you, they just... they just keep coming back, and now they're back, and I don't want to push them down anymore. I don't wanna run away from us. Because I never want to lose you again, I just want to be with you, next to you, wherever you are. And I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, I really am, because I hate all the time that we lost and I know it's my fault and I just really hope that you can forgive me.

Ephram

Amy.

Amy

Because I love you, Ephram. I love you.

Ephram

Is it my turn yet? Good. Because I love you, too. I knew it then. I know it now. I'll know it always. You're it, Amy. You're my one.

Amy

I am?

Ephram

You always have been.
