Amy Nicole Abbott quotes from Everwood

Amy

You were right Ephram, about everything. I have taken you for granted. But hey, you're a better person than I am. Everybody else sees it, I don't know why you don't. As if you didn't know this already, I'm kinda a giant mess right now. I have been ever since you've known me. I might have been more normal in Junior High, I don't know. The point is, you deserve someone great, Ephram, amazing even. Someone a little less like me and a little more like you.

Ephram

For an apology, that sounded an awful lot like a breakup.

Amy

I'm sorry I wasted your time and it would kill me to think I wasted any more of it. I want you to promise me something.

Ephram

Amy.

Amy

Promise me that you won't let me and you get in the way of you and somebody else.

Ephram

[after a long pause] I promise.

Ephram

[to Spanish teacher] Estamos uh... mucho um... embarazada.

Amy

You just said: We're very pregnant.

Ephram

(To Amy) Well, I'll let you fix this.

Amy

How are you as a cook?

Ephram

About as good as I am at speaking Spanish.

Andy

I know I'm the last person you want advice from right now, but don't be afraid to make sure that everything's right. You're never going to get this moment back.

Amy

I appreciate what you're saying, Dr. Brown, but... I had the right person in my life, and unfortunately, we ran out of time.

Amy

It's you. I know you.

Colin

Stop following me.

Amy

Stop, stop, please. You left me. You left me alone and now you're here and I'm here and you shouldn't be here.

Colin

Neither should you.

Amy

I loved you. I loved you. I want you to come back.

Colin

Stop following me. Just stop.

Amy

Why are you being mean?

Colin

I want you to leave me alone. Won't you understand? I want you to go.

Amy

Go where? Where am I supposed to go? I failed school, Colin. I failed my brother. I failed my parents. I failed you. Where do you want me to go? I don't even know where to start.

Colin

You can start by saying goodbye.

Amy

No. No, I can't.

Colin

Yes you can.

Amy

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Bright

[about Ephram and Madison] Yeah, having sex with a rock goddess tends to have an effect on a guy.

Amy

They're sleeping together?

Bright

Whad'ya think they were doing this whole time, playing solitaire [pause] or some other two-person card game?

Amy

Let me just say that I'm sorry. I know that I kind of disappeared for awhile and that I wasn't the best friend in the world, but I want to change that...Try to work on things, you know?

Wow, you're really desperate, you know?

Amy

OK, maybe I shouldn't have come.

Or maybe you shouldn't have ditched us in the first place.

Amy

I didn't ditch you Paige.

One day, we're talking on the phone all the time, and the next, Laynie's your new best friend and you won't even wave to me in the halls.

Amy

Well I didn't see you calling me. I didn't see any of you, pick up the phone or do one kind thing after Colin died. You just wanted me to keep on doing what I always did: plan all the parties, go to the mall, fight for the best dance costume. Well I couldn't, Paige and I thought you would understand that.

I'm sorry. Were your druggie friends more understanding?

Amy

Just trying to get my life back.

Well, you can't have it back.

It's been two days. Didn't you want to make sure I was okay?

Amy

I called the hospital, they said you were released yesterday.

So were you going to leave a forwarding address or just going for a clean getaway?

Amy

I'm just going home.

It's good.

Amy

Yeah.

Mmm, I'll give you a call later, let you get settled in.

Amy

No, don't.

Look Amy, I screwed up. I never should have taken you to that party, we should never have done all that crap, but this whole thing has been a serious wake-up call for me.

Amy

I'm glad, I hope you get the help that you need.

No Amy, I don't need help, I just...I just need you.

Amy

I can't be that person for you anymore Tommy.

It was just a slip, one slip, one night, that's not who I am.

Amy

It wasn't one night, it was three months of lies.

So what? I'm not good enough for you anymore? What are you gonna do? Gonna go back to Mommy and Daddy? Gonna go back to being little miss perfect, is that it? No you can't. You won't be able to, not after us.

Amy

I gotta go, take care of yourself, Tommy.

Amy

You're sad.

Ephram

A little.

Amy

Something happen?

Ephram

Madison and I broke up.

Amy

What? When?

Ephram

About an hour ago.

Amy

Oh my God, the other day you said that everything was fine I thought...

Ephram

Yeah I know, I lied a little bit. Don't ask me why.

Amy

Why?

Ephram

I don't know. I guess I thought if I pretended that everything was great, actually it would be great.

Amy

One thing I do know is whatever is going on in there is going to come out whether you like it or not. So, you might as well just say it on purpose and choose your words.

Ephram

You know, it's amazing how you do that.

Amy

Do what?

Bright

[to Amy and Ephram] Hmmm... sit here with the bitter twins or free internet porn. Excuse me. [Leaves]

Amy

Hmm, bitter twins. He's getting funnier.

Bright

No, you don't get it. My life is about to start to suck. Big time. I'm going to be that weird guy who graduates and never leaves. Like Johnny Richter.

Amy

That guy who works at Sal's?

Bright

See, he doesn't even work there. You just think he does 'cause he hangs out there so much. C'mon, guys. I need this night to be awesome.

Amy

There has to be some way we can enjoy this.

Ephram

Sedated.

Ephram

How does he do it?

Amy

What, act like a moron? It comes naturally.

Amy

There's just no point. If Ephram wanted to go with me, he would ask me.

Bright

No he wouldn't.

Amy

Yes he would.

Bright

Do you think he's a glutton for punishment? A total glutton for punishment? You rejected the guy like six-hundred times last year. He's not gonna out on a limb and ask you. Even if he was dying to.
