Madison Kellner quotes from Everwood

Madison

[To Ephram] Okay, tell me what's bugging you 'cause no amount of pork can distract a guy from a making out session, especially when there's no chance we get caught.

Madison

[to Ephram] Yeah, but here's the thing. You know, you cannot be okay with it and still support his decision. And if you feel like you can talk to him about it, then you should. But if you can't, then talk to me, 'cuz chances are if you're feeling gloomy, I can do stuff to cheer you up.

Madison

Oh cool, my brother reads comic books too.

Ephram

Oh, actually they're not comic books. It's Manga. Big difference.

Madison

Anyway, he collects the dolls and all that stuff. Spiderman, The Hulk, he loves Samson Storm from X-men. He's 12, it's really cute. Do you have any?

Ephram

No, no dolls.

Yes you do, you have that guy with the red hair that you won't let me play with.

Ephram

That's not a doll, Delia. That's a collectible.

Madison

Your dad says you have something to say to me.

Ephram

I apologize... Madison.

Madison

Wow, thank you Ephram. That was very manly, have a carrot stick.

Ephram

Ya know, I don't know why they call it a driving test. All they really care about is parking.

Madison

Well I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of guys ride their bikes to junior prom. Maybe your date can sit on the handlebars.

Madison

God, Ephram, you don't even know me.

Ephram

I might not know everything about you, but I do know some things. I know that you're the only person who makes my little sister think it's OK to be a girl. I know how you feel when you sing, cause it's how I feel when I play. I know all you really want from this Jay-guy is for him to get you, and he never will because the only thing he's interested in getting is himself. And, I know that all this stuff about me being too young is just you being afraid... because, it's easier for you to say that I'm too young than to risk something that's not what you thought you wanted. And, most of all, I know that, ever since I kissed you at the D.M.V., every time I've seen you, I've wanted to kiss you again. [pause] And I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure you did. And, you have to...

Ephram

Yeah... thought so.

Ephram

You know, sometimes you're smarter than you look.

Madison

If I get sick, you're in big trouble.

Ephram

Don't worry. I'm not that sick.

Madison

Well then, get out of bed. Get your ass to high school. I never want to say that sentence again.

Ephram

I love you.

Madison

I gotta go get the iron.

Ephram

Do you think we can just maybe rewind the last couple days? Just go back completely?

Madison

I don't think it works that way, Ephram.

Ephram

Right, the toothpaste, tube. Forget it. [long pause] Do you think we could maybe just pretend? For now, at least?

Madison

Yeah, I guess we could do that.

Ephram

Okay.

It's just that... I love Ephram, too. And, since he's my brother, and we're related and everything, I have to love him more.

Madison

I understand.

And I think that when you're here, it makes him sad... really, really sad. I don't want to see him that sad any more. So, I'm going, going to have to let you go, Madison.

Madison

Okay.

Madison

Well maybe in two weeks we could do something, have one of those kick-off friendship lunches, or something.

Ephram

No, no, I, ah, I could never do the "friend thing" with you. Let's face it, we were never really friends. We were just--

Madison

In love.

Ephram

Yeah.

Madison

E.C.C. was just starting to feel like a stall. Taking classes didn't really matter. People who didn't want to do much with themselves just wasn't my lifestyle anymore.

Ephram

You outgrew your beer bottle.
