Amy Nicole Abbott quotes from Everwood

Amy

Ephram? What are you doing here.

Laynie

I found him after school at the post office hanging around the outbound mail box. I think someone was trying to return him.

Ephram

I wish.

Amy

Laynie's cool, isn't she?

Ephram

Huh?

Amy

Laynie. The two of you looked like you were getting along the other day. That's... that's so great.

Ephram

Well, I'm glad you approve. Why are you so interested in me and Laynie anyway?

Amy

I don't know. She's my friend... you're my friend.

Ephram

Well, we did receive mail together. To which I went back to her place where I believe we shared a beverage or two. At which point I obviously felt it was time to ask for her hand in marriage.

Amy

What is it you like about him?

Laynie

He's that guy that you'd want to hang out with even if you weren't dating him, and he's cute in that kinda way that's sorta like... you know in the movies that guy you want the girl to end up with that everybody pretends isn't cute, but really is.

Harold

I was worried about your friend.

Amy

My boyfriend! Boy-friend!! God, I can't believe I didn't see this sooner! It's so obvious what you're doing.

Harold

Wh-what are you talking about?

Amy

Oh please, you're trying to keep Colin and me apart. You're not worried about Colin's health. The only thing you're worried about is that I might be growing up too fast and you don't like it. Well, that's just too damn bad! Isn't it?

Bright

How do you know all this stuff, Miss Honors Science?

Amy

God had to do something with the other half of your brain.

Amy

Is this seat taken?

Ephram

I'm afraid you can't sit here. This is a very exclusive outcast table. You have to have a special pass.

Amy

I think I have one.

Ephram

Well, there have been a lot of fakes going around. Who gave you yours?

Amy

Colin Hart.

Ephram

Ah, you're probably okay then.

Colin

I can't ask you to stay with me, Amy. Not again. You've been through this before, and I know how much it hurt you. I don't even know what's gonna happen now. I'm not getting better, Amy, and I might get worse. You don't want to deal with that again.

Amy

How do you know what I want?

Colin

Look, I know you wouldn't leave, if I asked you to stay. You're too good of a person.

Amy

Are you kidding me? Colin, I didn't go to that hospital every day because I thought you missed me. I went because I missed you.

Harold

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.

Amy

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.

Harold

Is this Colin's idea of pre-operatative preparation? Corrupting other youths into committing vandalism?

Amy

Uhm, I don't know what you just said...but we're not going to graffiti anything.

Amy

I thought you'd be in New York already.

Ephram

I think I'm gonna skip New York this year. I mean, it's the worst time to go anyway.

Amy

Really? I didn't know that.

Ephram

Yeah, it's super humid. Maybe for Christmas.

Amy

Yea, it'd probably be nice to be home for the holidays.

Ephram

Yea, maybe, but...

Amy

But what?

Ephram

I am home.

Amy

I should've called you Laynie.

Laynie

It wasn't your decision.

Amy

No, you, you should've been there.

Laynie

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.

Amy

Too bad you only recognize her now that she's stacked.

Bright

It's not my fault I'm shallow. It's how God made me. Blame him.

Ephram

I guess that's the one advantage of having a father who has no idea what's going on. He's too clueless to become one of the pod-parents.

Andy

Ephram! Hey Ephram! Come on down -- Duke's giving away frisbees.

Ephram

Oh God. He's become one of them.

Amy

Welcome.

Amy

Well I went out with Ephram but it got kinda weird.

Bright

You guys finally hooked up?

Amy

What?! No. Why would you say something like that?

Bright

I dunno. Maybe because he's mad in love with you and has been for over the past year.

Bright

Guys have pride. And he's not gonna sit around playing mind-games with you forever. Soon he's gonna get tired of that, and he's gonna move on.

Amy

I'm just not ready for all the boyfriend-girlfriend stuff and I know with Ephram there'd be no in between.

Bright

Maybe not, but you could do a lot worse. People give me crap all the time for hanging out with Ephram. But I dunno, he's just like...

Amy

Funny.

Bright

Yea! The other day, he's telling me the story about how he's driving a stick for the first time right, and he's like stuck on a hill. Eckleman says: Well what gear were you in? and he says: My jeans and my t-shirt. [they laugh] I didn't even get it at first... and he's also gonna be pulling in some serious jack with his music one day... damn, maybe I should ask him out.
