Andy Brown quotes from Everwood

Andy

You know, when your mother died, a thousand people said a thousand stupid things to me and I just wanted one of them to give me a reason not to die.

Andy

[in a letter to Julia] Dear Valentine, come away with me. If I had a day with you and you only, I would enjoy the simple things. The things that, in the end, when time steals the rest away, are the only things we'll remember. I would paddle you across a still lake in a rowboat and read poetry to you until you fall asleep and I would never think about the hours. Dear Valentine, if I had one day with you and you only... I would admire every line of your face, every strand of your hair... Every graceful movement of your hands or your eyes or your body. If I had one perfect day... Don't you see? My heart beats only for you. Dear Valentine, these are the things I remember of my love. A warm hand, a warm breath. Your warm mouth. Your arms around mine... I remember feeling safe, cease-less. Like one person. The two of us still, at rest, entwined... I remember how I felt the first time I kissed you. It felt like the high dive. What do you remember? How will I ever know what was inside your heart? Where did they go? All the things we think and feel but don't say. Dear Valentine... These are the things I never told you. These are the things I need you to know. That I loved you always. And my love was so big, it lives still after you're gone. I'd like to tell you that I would do it differently. That if I had one more day I would do everything right. But I know that isn't true. I'd make all the same mistakes. That is except one. I wouldn't say goodbye.

Andy

[to Linda] I fixed things with Delia, so now all you have to worry about is my grating personality and utter lack of charm.

Andy

[to Linda] Bad things can happen. And if you don't think I know that after losing my wife, you have no business being my friend, much less anything else. I know things can go wrong, which is exactly why I think it's worth the risk if I can feel this way again. So, no. If you want to break up with me you better find a better reason.

Andy

I want you to listen to me, Nina. This is the toughest part, this moment. But if you do this right, you won't spend the rest of your life regretting anything or resenting anyone or kicking yourself. I know you want to move on to the next chapter and you will. But I am not about to let you sign on the dotted line and accept whatever standard, minimum crap he is offering. You deserve much more. Do you understand me?

Andy

Well contrary to proper belief, I am not interested in poaching their patients. You should be ashamed of yourself. In fact, all of you should. All right, come on, everybody out. Let's go. Everybody out. That's it. All of ya. Jumping ship on a good doctor. You outta be ashamed of yourselves. Go on. Out. Store's closed.

Andy

Harold! No wait! [The sprinklers turn on, Harold looks at Andy] I was gonna say... go right.

Andy

I've got to go pick up Delia from Brittany's. Apparently, fifth grade sucks. But she's convinced that some hot chocolate syrup and rocky road will help make it better.

Andy

[To Amanda] Music therapy takes time and patience. But if you think it's not working, just tell me. I'm a big boy. I can handle it.

Andy

[when he sees Jake doing Yoga] God, please let this be a hallucination from the drugs.

Andy

I think sometimes that ignoring something gives it too much power... pretty soon all that we can remember is what it is we were trying to forget.

Andy

We are cities boys, the only thing we do agree on is that nature sucks.

Andy

Does it look like a florist threw up in here to you?

Andy

[to adoption agency worker] Harold is an extraordinary husband and father. I am constantly going to him for parenting advice. He could be the next Dr. Phil.

Andy

[to Ephram] Are you kidding? Patience is my middle name. I am all about maintaining the zen of my motorcycle, or whatever that book says.
