Hey, Jamie! How you doin', buddy?
JamieDo I know you?
Dude! Who are you, Victoria Davis? It's me, Chase. Bartender from Tric. Well, bar manager. I built you that snow fort in Utah.
Jamie
Oh, right. Hey!
So, listen your mom had something come up, so we're supposed to pick you up today. Are you ready?
Jamie
Yeah, I don't think so...Well, I'm kinda hungry. Do you have any snacks?
Um, I got some gum in the car.
Jamie
Ok, so you expect me to get in your car and take candy from a stranger? Yeah, I'm gonna have to pass.
Hey, Jamie. Remember me? I'm Mia. I work at Red Bedroom Records.
Jamie
Oh, yeah! Hey. You're really good friends with my mom, huh?
Yeah, that's right! I am really good friends with your mom.
Jamie
So, if you're really good friends with my mom, how come you weren't in Utah?
Jamie
No offence, but considering my history, I'm gonna have to pass up on you too.
Jamie Scott. Dude, your mom left me a message to pick you up. You ready?
Jamie
Yeah, sure. Let's go.
I didn't even get invited to Utah.
Jamie
I knew how to spell entrepreneur. I said “ue” instead of “eu”. But I knew it was “eu”.
Jamie
No, I missed it on purpose.
Jamie
Because I wanted Madison to win the spelling bee.
Why?...I like Madison.I think she's pretty cool.
Jamie
Yeah.
You know,she asked about you.She asked me if you were okay.
Jamie
What'd she say?
It's not what she said,exactly. It's more how she said it. Trust me.Girls know these things...
Jamie
Tell my mom and dad I love them.What are you gonna do?
Tell Julian I love him.And I love you, buddy.
Hey, sleepy.You did great tonight.
Jamie
You think it was okay?
Okay? I have heard a lot of best man speeches in my life and yours was by far the sweetest, most honest, and the most memorable. I have never been so proud of you. And you know what?Your little sister would be proud, too.
Jamie
I'm gonna have a little sister?
Jamie
Yeah. I hope she's just like you, Mom
Oh, I can’t believe you’re gonna have a little sister. She’s gonna need you to watch out for her and protect her. Do you know, by the time she’s your age, you’re gonna be in high school.
Jamie
And when you and dad were in high school, you had me.
That’s right… You’re not allowed to do that
Jamie
You know, I do believe in magic... I was born and raised in a magic time... in a magic town... among magicians... Most everybody else didn’t realize we lived in that web of magic, connected by the silver filaments of chance and circumstance, but I knew it all along. See? This is my opinion; we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside of us. We are born able to sing to birds and read clouds, and see our destiny in grains of sand…but then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, washed out, spanked out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves. After you go so far away from it, you can’t really get it back. You can have seconds of it, just seconds of knowing and remembering...
When people get weepy in movies, it’s because in that dark theater, the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly…
then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again, and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heart sad, and not knowing why...
When a song stirs a memory...
when motes of dust turning in a shaft of light takes your attention from the world...
when you listen to a train passing on a track at night in the distance, and you wonder where it might be going...
you step beyond who you are and where you are...
Jamie
for the briefest of instance, you have stepped into the magic realm. That’s what I believe
Jamie
Hi mom!
Jamie
Grandpa Dan!!! What are you doing here?
Just helping your mom out…you wanna join?
CCustomer
Excuse me is that Dan Scott
CCustomer
How could you allow that man to work for you to be around your children?
CCustomer
He’s a murderer!
I really don’t think that’s any of your business
ACAnother Customer
Oh yes it is! Especially if he’s cooking our food
Haley it's ok…I’ll leave…I’ll see you back at the house
No…you should stay. If anyone here has a problem with this man cooking your food you’re welcome to go someplace else.
Alright then your food is on the house today…Now get out!
Hey you didn’t want to go to the box factory?
Jamie
Nah we were there last week. You know dad and Clay had a hard time with their agency at first
Yeah I’m starting to think this is just one big bad idea
Jamie
Come on your like the farmer guy in the middle of nowhere who decided to build a baseball field in his back yard everyone told him he was crazy but you know what he built it anyway all because he heard a voice that said “If you build it he will come”…and you know what? He came! In fact lots of people came.
That’s a pretty good story Jamie. Guess I just need to have a little faith huh?
Jamie
Well the thing is that’s actually a movie…you should probably know that if you wanna make it in show business.
[Julian laughs]
Jamie
I like camping in the backyard. Do you think dad will stay out here with me?
I think that's a pretty safe bet.
Jamie
Did you guys ever go camping?
Nah. We never got the chance.
Jamie
Then when he gets home the three of us can!
Jamie
Yeah, he'll be home soon though.
