Amy Nicole Abbott quotes from Everwood

Amy

Grandma's wedding doesn't count as a date, loser.

Bright

I'm in a tux! It's a date.

Amy

You're an idiot.

Amy

Oh my God Bright, you have to let Reid be your new roommate.

Bright

Why? So you can stalk him outside the hospital?

Amy

I am not stalking him, I'm admiring him. Those are two very different verbs.

Ephram

Every time you left my garage last summer it was like Pig-Pen had just been there. Sometimes when I think about you, I envision this, like, uh, dust cloud over your head.

Amy

I guess that makes you the obsessive Peanut who's always banging away on his piano.

Ephram

Well, chicks love Schroeder.

Hannah

I'm serious, Amy. You've got to get out there and meet some new people.

Amy

Yeah, I tried that. And you know what? New people suck!

Ephram

Are you sure I can't interest you in a peanut butter jelly sandwich dipped in cold tomato soup?

Amy

It's the dipping that freaks people out Ephram; why must you dip?

Hannah

[answering her cell] Hey, Amy.

Amy

Are you sitting down?

Hannah

Yeah, why?

Amy

I need to talk to you.

Bright

[answering his cell] The boy is back in town, how was New York, man?

Ephram

Fine. I need to ask you something.

Hannah

What's the matter?

Ephram

Say you ran into an old girlfriend.

Amy

Are you sure you're sitting down?

Bright

Don't tell me you saw Madison?

Hannah

[to Bright] He saw Madison?…!

Ephram

No, not Madison.

Amy

So, I went over to Ephram's last week.

Ephram

And you weren't planning on anything happening…

Amy

And we were just supposed to study…

Ephram

And things got a little heated…

Amy

And there was no one there…

Ephram

And then something kinda…

Amy

And we totally had sex.

Hannah

You and Ephram slept together?!!

Bright

[to Hannah] What?! No way!

Ephram

"No way" what?

Amy

I've been meaning to tell you.

Ephram

Hello, you there?

Amy

I just felt so weird.

Bright

Dude, did you and my sister get back together?

Amy

And I don't know what it means yet.

Ephram

What? Who told you that?

Hannah

I can't believe this.

Bright

I can't believe you.

Hannah

Bright. This is so…Great.

Bright

…Bad.

Ephram

Have you talked to her?

Amy

And he said he's still in love with me.

Ephram

Did she say we were back together?

Amy

And we haven't spoken since.

Hannah

Okay, listen, come and get me right now.

Bright

Okay, stay where you are.

Hannah

We have to celebrate.

Bright

Time for some serious damage control.

Amy

This is not a celebration, Hannah.

Ephram

I don't need damage control.

Amy

I'll be there in ten.

Ephram

Fine, if you're coming, bring breakfast, and beer.

Hannah

Guess that bike ride's gonna have to wait.

Bright

Yeah.

Amy

[to Hanna] Wow, you're actually expressing a feeling. And it's negative. Maybe we should throw a party.

Bright

She doesn't like parties.

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.

Rose

Amy, you haven't moved for over two hours. Are you sick, sweetheart?

Amy

No, I'm stupid. I had the thing, mom. I had the thing that everybody wants and I threw it away. And now Ephram has become Stephram and you can't just walk up to Stephram and be like, Hi, I'm in love with you again. Especially 'cause she's buying him jackets.

Rose

Ok.

Amy

She's worked back from the inside. She has home-court advantage. I thought I could work the old-school angle, but now I'm realizing that I have no angle. All I have is how I feel and I can't even describe how I feel because it's just, it's so...

Rose

Much.

Amy

Yes, exactly.

Rose

You love Ephram.

Amy

Mom, yes. Keep up.

Rose

But why aren't your feelings enough, sweetheart? Considering the history you two have, it could maybe amount to more than a jacket. And if you could express your feelings to Ephram in a slightly less anxiety provoking way than you just expressed them to me, well...

Amy

It won't be enough. Saying the words doesn't even come close to how I feel about him. And besides that, this is Ephram. Grand gesture Ephram. He had his dad perform surgery on my boyfriend while he was in love with me. He wrote my Princeton essay for me. Our first time together.

Rose

I get it. Say no more.

Amy

I just think if I can find a way to show him just how much I love him, that I remember everything and I'm not gonna forget.

Rose

Then you will. You will.

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.
