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

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[to Amy and Ephram] Hmmm... sit here with the bitter twins or free internet porn. Excuse me. [Leaves]
Hmm, bitter twins. He's getting funnier.
[voiceover] There are things that go without saying and there are things better left unsaid. There are things that should never be uttered out loud and there are things you've got to hear to believe. But the ones that stay with us are the things we long to say, but don't.
[Bright is trying to convince Amy and Ephram to go with the "Promebago"]
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.
That guy who works at Sal's?
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.
There has to be some way we can enjoy this.
Sedated.
How does he do it?
What, act like a moron? It comes naturally.
There's just no point. If Ephram wanted to go with me, he would ask me.
No he wouldn't.
Yes he would.
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.
Ephram, go away!
No, I'm not going to go away, I don't understand what's going on, why are you crying?
Do you know how hard that was for me? To lay my heart on the line like that?
Yeah, I think I do.
Maybe it's easy for you but it's not for me. I don't really like feeling this vulnerable. I told you because I trusted you and now I feel like this whole night you've been lying to me.
I wasn't lying to you, I wasn't sure if it was true or not.
Please, if all you cared about is if it were true you could've just asked me. Instead you created this completely false moment. This whole night, how much of it was a manipulation? Dinner, after dinner, were you faking being nervous at the audition?
I wasn't trying to humiliate you, I was trying to get you to tell me how you feel, why is that so wrong? I've told you a thousand times!
You told me because you wanted to, not because I tricked you into it, all calculated.
How many times have you lied to me? With my dad, with Colin? All last year you knew that I would do anything for you, all you had to do was ask, so you didn't. You would just bat your eyes and cry on my shoulder. You played me! Well tonight I played you!
What?
Nothing, just... you know how they say 'don't drive angry'? I'm thinking the same thing applies to neurosurgery.
[voiceover] Dreams are our world turned upside down. Gravity, logic, time rendered meaningless. The world of dreams is not our world. Although in the dead of night, it tempts and deceives. This is what makes dreams so dangerous.
Dreams aren't meant to be understood any more than tragedy can be averted. Life happens to us. We learn to be grateful when things are good,and to count our blessings when things are bad. And the only certainty in all of it is that it all just... keeps happening.
Okay. See, the thing is my dad is doing this, this, completely crazy thing, right, because it's like why not. He's got nothing to lose at this point and I just keep thinking that maybe it's the same thing with us. You know, we basically had the worst fight that we could possibly have. Right? Did it, done it, it's over.
Right.
So I figure why not just be crazy. Start over like you said. And this summer would be the perfect time to do that because there'd be no pressure, no weirdness because of school. You're clique, my clique.
I don't have a clique.
My clique. But you know what I mean. We'd be able to figure out what we could be without being inside the pressure cooker that is County High.
Yeah. I mean, that's a good plan. Except for one small problem.
Juilliard. Juilliard. I know and I was thinking about it and I realized your dad's a millionaire so what's a few hundred bucks, right?
Thousand bucks.
Same difference. It'd be like as if he enrolled you in a regular summer camp and right before summer, you broke your leg so you couldn't go. So you lose your deposit; happened to me. Look, I know what I'm asking you to do is crazy. Don't think I'm not completely aware of that fact.
Is this supposed to be a sexy picnic?
Maybe. Not sure yet. Here, have a seat.
You look nervous.
I-I am nervous.
Why?
Okay, look. I'm pretty sure we've been down this road before, many, many times. In fact, it's kind of crazy how many times we've been down this road without anything actually ever happening on the road. It seemed like something always messes us up. Lately, that something has been me. I feel like I've been given a second chance and I don't want to blow it. I can't stop thinking about what you said about me staying and us really taking a shot. The thing is, I know what would happen if we did that. It would be exactly the way I thought it would be, perfect. You know, I never really worried much about what would happen if we actually got together. Somehow I always knew that part would work itself out. It's just the getting there that seemed so impossible. I could never imagine both of us being on the same page at the same time.
...
You're it, Amy. You're the one I want to be with. There's no question about it, there's no holding it back, there's no over-analyzing, it just is.
I don't understand.
I could not go. I could be the guy that says, you know, screw it, it's all about the girl. But let's face it, I already am that guy. I know how to make you a priority. I've done it. I can do it again. If you ever need me, I'll be there. But right now, I need to worry about making myself a priority. And the only way I can do that is to go to New York. I want you to wait for me. Will you?
