Why aren't you with Madison?
Would you believe we decided our relationship was strong enough that we don't have to spend every waking moment together?
No.
Then I think we're in a fight.

How are you as a cook?
About as good as I am at speaking Spanish.
[voiceover] For many years now, this sliver of dust-covered rock has served as a haven for the hope-filled and hormone-driven youth of our town. You won't find it on any map, but everyone knows exactly where it is. We call it The Point. On this uncharted piece of rock, many of Everwood's young people first discovered their capacity for passion, and sometimes for love. For them, the view from The Point will be forever etched in their hearts and minds -- a reminder of one special moment when everything changed.
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.
I appreciate what you're saying, Dr. Brown, but... I had the right person in my life, and unfortunately, we ran out of time.
[about Madison] Dude, come on! She is signaling the pitch!
Please don't use sports metaphors... I need to understand what you're saying.
She's achin' for some Brown lovin'. Dish it up and serve it hot my friend.
[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.
[about Madison] Are you sleeping with her? Answer me!
No, I'm not sleeping with her. I'm not sleeping with her and I'm gonna be a virgin for the rest of my life, because that's just how my life is! When something is good, it turns bad, and when something's bad it just gets worse. Is that what you wanted to hear?
[voiceover] The speed and direction of our path through life are pretty good measures of our age. We race headlong through childhood, never looking back; wanting it to end as quickly as possible. As we get older, we occasionally slow down long enough to look around and savor certain moments: It's a sure sign of growing up. It's only in our twilight years, when our pace is slowed and the long race is nearing the end that we spend most of our time looking backwards, and we wonder why we were ever in such a hurry.
It's amazing, I, I didn't think things could get any better, or, or I could like her any more, but I do. This is what you were warning me about, huh? You knew I was gonna feel this way.
Well, I don't think I used the word "feel." I might of used the word "feel up." That's totally different.
[Ephram kisses Madison]
I love you.
[Pause. Madison gives Ephram a gentle, "motherly" kiss]
I gotta go get the iron.
Do you think we can just maybe rewind the last couple days? Just go back completely?
I don't think it works that way, Ephram.
Right, the toothpaste, tube. Forget it. [long pause] Do you think we could maybe just pretend? For now, at least?
Yeah, I guess we could do that.
Okay.
[voiceover] Sometimes it's easier to pretend that things are okay, rather than face a difficult truth. So we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life. We hope the comfortable rhythms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer; return things to normal, anything to buy us more time. Playing pretend, make believe, it might be the one thing we never outgrow.
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?
It's you. I know you.
Stop following me.
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.
Neither should you.
I loved you. I loved you. I want you to come back.
Stop following me. Just stop.
Why are you being mean?
I want you to leave me alone. Won't you understand? I want you to go.
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.
You can start by saying goodbye.
No. No, I can't.
Yes you can.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
[about sunglasses] These are cool. I don't know if they do me justice. I mean, they look good, but do they say I'm a genius?
No because they don't speak.
