Previously on Everwood:
My partners in L.
A.
got the funding
for my program.
- So if you feel that you need to move
- Not just me.
I want you and Sam
to move to Los Angeles with me.
It takes five years
to be truly out of the woods.
You're not even one year
into remission.
We have another scan
less than three weeks from today.
Don't you think I know that?
You gotta give me something here.
I can't imagine life without you.
I really need to figure out
how to move on with my life right now.
Without you.
- I'm trying to say he's been depressed.
- Poor Bright.
- Yarn *** isn't returning his calls?
- It's his 21st birthday, okay?
Don't you think he should be excited
to celebrate?
My parents are gonna take him out.
He's into the cupcake at Applebee's.
- They sing to him with tambourines.
- He's not 10.
If somebody's taking him out,
it should be us.
I don't want Hannah
to think suddenly I'm okay with
Yarn ***?
Trust me, he knows, I know, we all know.
It was a bad move.
End of the day, he's still your brother.
- Guess I can handle one night.
- Great.
I'll set it up.
- Oh, my God, I can't believe this.
- What? You've been so testy lately.
This guy has been sitting there
all day.
It's the best table,
and all he orders is coffee.
- He's a total tip sucker.
- Yeah? I bet you I can get him to move.
I'm not a professional waitress
or anything, but I got some moves.
- How much?
- Twenty bucks.
Okay.
I'm down with making money
off your humiliation.
Good luck.
Excuse me, sir? How you doing?
I wonder if you'd mind moving
to our couch.
- Are you the manager?
- Yes, I am.
- These tables are reserved for dining.
- Where does it say that?
Say what?
"Tables reserved for dining only.
"
I don't see any sign.
Well, it's more of an understood thing.
Well, understand this.
I paid for this coffee.
And the menu says
free unlimited refills
so I'm gonna sit here
as long as I damn well please.
I need more decaf.
Okay.
- What's so funny?
- Oh, your son's about to owe me $20.
- I only take cash.
- He wants more decaf.
Hey, Dad.
- What were you talking to him about?
- What? Nothing.
Why, you know him?
He's my father.
- But my pills are out there.
- Don't worry, it's not Penn Station.
They'll be fine.
Have a seat.
- Here?
- Yeah.
- So, what's with the cane?
- Oh, I just had a little surgery done.
Do you wanna tell me
what you're doing here?
Well, I'm just passing through.
Thought I'd do a little skiing.
I
I heard about your wife.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, that was four years ago.
It's a little late for a sympathy visit.
You gonna answer my question?
- Well, I came to see my grandson.
- Well, you just did.
- That was Ephram you were talking to.
- No kidding.
He got big, didn't he? Tall for his age.
Not really.
He's 19 now, and he's in college.
- And his little sister
- Sister?
You have a granddaughter.
Her name is Delia.
She's 12 years old.
Well, I'd like to see her too.
What's she like?
I hope she got her mother's looks.
You know what? You can't do this.
You can't just show up and expect me
to act as if nothing has happened.
I think I'm entitled to some answers.
- Are you sick?
- You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Oh, for God's sakes.
Listen, I'm not dying,
if that's what you're thinking, okay?
If you wanna turn this into one
of those daytime soaps, be my guest.
I'm an old man who came here
to see his grandchildren.
It's as simple as that.
You can stay in Ephram's room.
He'll drive you back to the house.
I gotta get back to work.
I'll see you later.
- Hello?
- Hannah.
It's Nick Bennett.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So your friend Amy
gave me your number.
She said it'd be okay to ring you up.
Is it not okay?
No, no, it's fine, it's just
Probably should have asked
for the e-mail, right? Less invasive?
No, it's not that.
- I can't be on the cell phone right now.
- I'll cut to it, then.
I know last time was a bit of a setup,
and you're probably thinking
- Can you cut to it faster?
- You wanna do something sometime?
You mean with you? Hi, Mr.
D.
Yeah, I mean,
we could grab a movie, dinner, skating.
- This isn't a good time.
- No skating, forget I even said that.
- I really have to go.
- Just one date, I promise it'll be fun.
- Okay, fine, bye.
- Yes.
Excuse me, I just posted that there.
I'm sorry, my bad.
What are the odds?
So much for the food drive.
Don't worry,
they got thousands of these posted.
Like they're gonna miss
another can of soup.
You know, you're a real humanitarian.
Sarcasm.
I like it.
If you're looking for a roommate
I suggest taking one of the thousands
of numbers that are posted on here.
Yeah, not really my style.
I'm the kind of girl who does the
interviewing, not the other way around.
I'll see you later, piano man.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
How's it looking?
Did we make any money last month?
- Beats me.
I'm shopping for shoes.
- Excellent.
So there's something
I need to talk to you about.
- And I feel really horrible.
- Yes, I sense your misery.
I mean it.
The other night,
when I sprung the move to L.
A.
on you
bad form.
I was really nervous because I knew
the idea might be upsetting to you.
I wasn't upset.
And I know I said I would give you time
to think about it, and I am.
But I wanna do my pitch over again
now that I've had time to prepare.
- You ready?
- Jake
Close your eyes.
I've got props.
Okay, open.
I call these the four S's:
sun, sand, stars and shopping.
All of which awaits you
in sunny California.
- And the light bulb is the sun?
- Yeah, yeah.
That's the best I could do
at the drugstore.
Look, I know it's a big decision.
But I wanted you to know
it's not all about me and my work.
It's about you and Sam
and I really think you guys
could love it out there.
I agree,
and that's why I think we should do it.
Wait, for real?
You? This worked?
Oh, no, I made my decision last night.
But this was really fun to watch.
Are you sure about this? You?
I'm not forcing you into anything?
No.
No, no, I'm ready for a change
and I think it's time
for me to go out and see the world.
Or at least Disneyland.
And I really wanna do it with you.
Hey, you realize we could ***
Sam out for cereal commercials.
- Oh, that's a great idea.
- Yeah.
Whatever.
Hey.
Where is everybody?
Your sister's at a sleepover,
and your grandfather's upstairs.
- I ordered us a pizza.
- I thought we were having a big dinner.
Well, it's Brittany's birthday.
I wasn't
gonna make Delia miss the party.
- What?
- Nothing.
Nothing, it's just she sees Brittany
all the time.
You'd think the "you have a grandfather"
thing would be a bigger deal, but
I didn't know he was coming, Ephram.
I don't see why we should change our
entire lives just to accommodate him.
Okay, you're gonna have to explain
something to me.
I know you guys aren't tight
which is why I didn't know
he even existed until today
but do you want us
to get to know him?
Sure, if you want.
- What happened with you?
- It's a long story.
I got time.
My mother and I were very close
before she got sick.
You were only 4,
so you don't remember her
but she was an amazing woman.
What was wrong with her?
Endocarditis.
It's an infection of
the heart.
It's serious but treatable.
I'd just been made chief
at the hospital.
I wanted Dad to bring her down to see
a cardio guy I knew, top-notch guy.
- Makes sense.
- Except he wouldn't even consider it.
He said the HMO doctors
in Rhode Island were fine
and Mom was
more comfortable there
and there was no need to upset her
with all the traveling.
So, what happened?
We argued back and forth,
and he wouldn't give in.
He said it was his wife and it was
their decision, and that was that.
And two months later, she was dead.
I went back for the funeral,
and that's the last time I saw him.
Until today.
Yeah.
Do you think that if he'd brought her
to New York, she would've been okay?
Well, we'll never know, will we?
Your grandfather
is a very stubborn man.
He couldn't fathom that I might
actually be right about something.
Well, at least now we know
where you get it.
Listen, there's a lot I haven't dealt with
when it comes to my father.
Now that he's here, it's just
- It's hard.
- I get it, I do.
Just seems like 15 years is a long time
to hold on to a grudge.
Put it this way:
Could you ever forgive the driver
of the car that killed your mother?
Probably not.
But he wasn't my father.
- Hey, dude.
I thought you had class.
- I do.
- That ball is your enemy.
- Settle down.
Juice this one.
What are you doing, dude?
That's for "Birdie.
"
It's called an intervention.
- It's kind of a weak intervention.
- Look, it sucks about Hannah.
Nobody's saying you have to get over it
tomorrow, but you gotta face facts.
You're not getting back together
any time soon.
Says you.
I happen to be working on a plan, okay?
- It's in its initial stages
- You're not working on any plan.
I came in yesterday,
you were watching Lifetime.
That was all in the spirit
of research, okay?
Besides, Meredith Baxter Birney?
Total MILF.
Okay, you need to move on.
Get Hannah out of your head
and get on with your life.
- You got a birthday coming.
- Big deal.
It is a big deal.
You wanna think back
on your 21st and think:
"I didn't celebrate
because I was moping over a chick"?
- Think about the big picture here.
- Dude, you're totally right.
I am tired of wallowing around.
- Let's do something.
- Now you're talking.
Here's what we're gonna do:
Pick out a bar, make some phone calls.
We're gonna blow out the big 21.
I'm gonna plan it all.
- When did you become Johnny Social?
- When I met a girl that I want to invite.
So, what, you're using my 21st
as an excuse to ask out some chick?
Makes me kind of proud.
Hey, Stephanie?
- Hey, you got a second?
- Hey, don't slam the door.
Sorry.
Look,
I need to talk to you about
Can you talk a little quieter?
- Is Delia still asleep?
- No, my father.
Your father's here in the house?
He showed up yesterday
out of nowhere.
I didn't know that you had a father.
I mean, of course you do, but
- How long is he staying?
- I don't know.
I'm trying not to wake him.
He's a bear in the morning.
- He's a bear most of the time
- Morning.
Morning.
- What's with the coat?
- Well, there's a 10:30 flight.
- And I'm gonna need a ride.
- What are you talking about?
I thought you wanted to spend time
with the kids.
I did, but apparently
that's not gonna happen, so off we go.
- Well, Delia's gonna be back later.
- I'm supposed to sit around and wait?
I feel like a prisoner here.
Except in prison, they actually feed you.
She's back in two hours.
Why do you always have to be so?
Stubborn? Guess I'm just like that.
Shame it killed my wife, though.
Hi there.
I'm Nina Feeney.
Who are you? Girlfriend?
No, no, just the friendly neighbor lady.
I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
Oh, Eugene Brown.
Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
And you can't leave.
- Why not?
- What?
You're coming over to my house
for dinner tonight.
I was telling Andy.
- He's the one who wants me to leave.
- That's not true.
One of these days, I'm
Boys, I've been cooking all morning,
so I'm not gonna take no for an answer.
Does 7:00 sound okay?
- Fine, I'm not gonna be rude.
- Fine, I'll bring the wine.
- We're gonna need it.
- Great.
So I'll see you tonight.
So, what's for breakfast?
I know what you mean,
but Harold's a real planner.
I think he started college funds for them
like years ago.
Oh, would you look at that?
Rose, how did you get that bruise?
- Pardon?
- Right here, sweetie.
- Does it hurt?
- No.
- No, is it big?
- Kind of.
- You didn't know you had it?
- Oh, it's fine.
I think that gentleman over there
has a question.
It's official.
Hartman is bugging out to la-la land.
Won't be long before Junior needs
a tenant and yours truly needs a job.
Oh, you'll get another gig.
I'm sure Andy knows some docs
at the hospital.
What if I don't want another gig?
All this going on book tour
made me realize
how much fun it is
not to be punching a clock.
But I thought you said
work kept you going.
I know that's what I said,
but things have changed.
We have the book money now
and my IRA.
Maybe it's time to take it all
and see the world.
The last time I was out of the country
was the Tet Offensive.
- Wasn't much of a vacation.
- You're serious.
I'm ready for phase three, Harper,
if you're still interested.
You're damn right I am.
Why would you even give him
my number?
He made you laugh.
You wouldn't have
said yes if part of you didn't wanna.
Yeah, the panicky part.
He caught me off-guard,
and now I'm stuck.
Stuck with what?
Going out on a date with a hot
Australian guy who's totally into you?
Well, obviously it sounds good
when you put it that way.
But that doesn't mean
that I am ready to move on.
I am in a mourning period, Amy.
Perhaps if I wore black,
he would recognize that.
I'm not saying
you should be over my brother yet.
This is your first date post-breakup,
which makes Nick a rebound guy.
There's never pressure with rebound
guys because it never works out.
So just go, have a terrible time,
and get it over with, okay?
Fine.
- What's with the Legos?
- I don't know, it's fun.
Anyhow, Volkswagen was killing
everybody with the Beetle, you know?
So the Peugeot boys started to come up
with the 203 to compete.
Well, the whole thing was a total
disaster.
Four wheels and an umbrella.
Thought you said
you liked working on French cars.
Well, of course I do, dummy,
because they always break down.
Their incompetent frog ***
have kept me in business for 30 years.
- Who wants pound cake?
- I'll have some.
Would you get the plates and forks,
please?
I didn't want it that bad.
So, Gene, you're the car man.
I'm in the market for a convertible.
What should I be looking at?
- Domestic or foreign?
- What do you think, babe?
It's your car, you decide.
Although I do think you'd look pretty
sexy driving a ragtop down Rodeo Drive.
Rodeo Drive?
Oh, don't worry, we're not gonna
be living in Beverly Hills.
Probably Santa Monica
or maybe the Palisades.
- Better schools for Sammy.
- You're moving?
Yeah
Sorry, I didn't mean to drop it on you.
I thought you told him this morning.
I was going to,
but we kind of got sidetracked.
- When did all of this happen?
- Recently.
Very, very recently.
It's moving quickly because my partners
wanna get a jump on my project
before summer hits
and everybody runs off to Hawaii.
Hawaii.
Humid son of a ***.
This place goes on the market
tomorrow.
We should be out there
by the end of the month.
What about the restaurant? Are you?
Now, let me tell you something
about real-estate agents.
Why anybody would wanna use one
is beyond me.
- Dad, we're talking here.
- They don't do anything.
They just put up a few signs,
they give you a few doughnuts
What do you know?
You've lived in the same house 50 years.
- So?
- So stop interrupting.
You've been monopolizing
the conversation.
- I was in the middle of a question.
- Guys, come on.
Now you're trying to tell people
you barely know how to live their lives.
Show some respect.
I'm sorry, I
I can't do this right now.
Thank you for dinner.
Aren't you freezing?
It's colder in there.
I'm sorry, I had no idea
how bad things were with you two.
- lf I had known
- When are you leaving?
I don't know yet.
Depends on
the house and Sam's school.
I didn't want you to find out like that.
- I know you didn't.
- I just feel awful.
I came over here yesterday with the
full intention of telling you, and then
Is this what you want?
I took him back, Andy.
I promised to help him.
I can't just abandon him now.
We've been living together for a year,
and Sam adores him.
I'm in this.
There's this momentum.
You didn't answer my question.
I know I didn't.
I just think it'll be easier for everyone.
Hey.
- Hey.
- I'll tell the door guy we're here.
- Yes.
- Put this on the tab.
My dad would've wanted
to buy you a drink.
I knew I liked him.
This is kind of weird, huh?
- I'm used to hanging out with her.
- Yeah.
I say we forget about Hannah
and have fun.
Nothing says fun like hanging in a bar
when you're the driver.
Yeah, you screwed the pooch
on that one.
You and I will become very close friends
by the end of this.
- All right.
- It's my birthday.
- Oh, congratulations.
- Keep them coming.
Who's that with Ephram?
I don't know.
He said he met some girl.
That's probably her.
Happy birthday to me.
Little sister.
- Yo, Brooks.
- Yo, Bright.
- What's up?
- I'm glad you could come.
Are you with anybody,
or you come by yourself?
- Just me.
- Really? That's awesome.
Cool.
Sleeps four,
with a full kitchenette and shower.
Mileage is not bad either.
Our first trip will be Niagara Falls.
I've always wanted to go.
You realize this address
is right around the corner?
- We could go kick some tires.
- Damn good price.
- Right now? It's a bit late.
- It's a guy thing.
What he said.
We'll see you later.
Well, I have to admit,
I'm feeling a little bit jealous.
There's something very romantic
about the call of the open road.
Yeah, if we don't kill each other
in the first week.
Harper is a slowpoke behind the wheel,
drives me crazy.
Yeah, but it's such an adventure.
Whole new life ahead of you, no limits.
It just sounds so lovely.
Rose?
Oh, I'm sorry, I
I had my PET scan this morning,
and I guess I'm still just a little shaky.
Well, did something happen?
It's too early for the results, isn't it?
I don't need the results.
My cancer's back, I know it.
- Oh, come on, now.
That's crazy talk.
- I have a bruise.
A giant purple bruise
right where they took the tumor out.
- I have no idea how it got there.
- Honey, that's nothing.
With all the steroids you've been on,
the slightest bump could do the trick.
- It doesn't mean you're sick.
- I know my body, Edna.
Something is not right.
God knows too,
that's why we didn't get the baby.
Oh, come on, now.
Now, you listen to me.
If you're right and it's back, we'll fight it.
You beat it once, you can beat it again.
- I can't.
- Sure you can.
I don't want to.
I know it was awful.
- But you had the test, you're scared
- You're right, I am.
I'm only telling you this
because I'll need you to take care
of Harold for a while.
If I'm right, I'll need you to come back.
- Rose
- Just promise me you will.
Are you still all hot and bothered
over the neighbor lady leaving?
Oh, you like her, huh?
I remember the look.
We're not having this conversation.
Is there any conversation you will have,
or shall I go and stare at the walls?
If I knew I was gonna have this kind of
company, I would've stayed at a Motel 6.
Maybe you should have.
This surprise
visit of yours has been a disaster.
- I can't take this crap.
- Don't walk away from me again.
Sit down.
Every time you and I were gonna have a
difficult conversation, you'd walk away.
You never took the time to talk to me.
Never bothered getting to know me.
Never once did you ask me
how my day was at school or at work.
I was on the cover of TIME magazine.
You didn't even pick up the phone.
- Well, I'm a Newsweek man myself.
- See? Everything's a joke, a big joke.
- Give me a break.
- Why should I?
You ignore me for 40 years
you think you can come back
and just chat about my personal life?
- You haven't earned that right.
- You know what? You're right.
Nothing has changed.
You are still the pompous ***
you always were.
I'm not a fool, Andrew.
If you can't forgive me
for missing a TIME magazine cover
how can I expect you to forgive me
for your mother's death?
- I don't blame you for that.
- Oh, like hell.
I heard what you said.
I told Ephram that because
it was easier than telling the truth.
It's a fair reason to hate you,
even if it wasn't completely true.
- I don't know what you're saying.
- What I blame you for
is abandoning me
when I needed you most.
You just left after Mom died,
and I was a wreck.
You? I'd just lost my wife.
Then we should've been there
for each other.
You cursing me left and right,
and I'm supposed to stay and take it?
- Yes, that's what fathers do.
- Not when their sons hate them.
Especially then.
Hey, have you guys seen Bright?
Oh, yeah.
About this tall, curly hair?
Sorry, I forgot you're not drinking.
- Thank you, by the way.
- I'm Stephanie.
- Amy.
- I know, you're in my Soc.
120 section.
I remember because you got this coat
I'm desperate to steal.
- You always say really smart stuff.
- Oh, thanks.
That reminds me, I think I saw Bright
playing one-handed pinball.
Thank you.
I'm trying to keep track of him,
sister of the birthday boy and all.
- Want me to go with you?
- No, I'm good.
- It was really nice to meet you.
- Yeah, nice to meet you too.
- So I'd rather be see-through.
- Why?
- What are you doing?
- Calling Hannah.
Trying to call Hannah.
I can't get any bars.
Outside of a bar.
- How classical is that?
- Bright, I don't think that's a good idea.
Why not? I miss her.
Don't you miss her?
I think she should be here.
It's my birthday.
She's on a date.
- What?
- With Nick, he asked her out.
Nick? The Australian guy?
- Second time they've gone out now?
- It's not gonna be anything, trust me.
Just put the phone away, Bright.
You'll thank me in the morning, promise.
I think I'm gonna have another drink.
- Bright.
- What?
It's my birthday.
But anyway, enough of my thrilling
swim-team stories.
What about you? Have you applied
to all your universities?
Colleges?
Yeah, yeah, lots of them, actually.
Minnesota,
because that's where I'm from
Duke, Stanford, A&M.
But I really wanna go to Notre Dame.
- You're a Catholic girl.
- Episcopalian.
- But I do go to church.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Me too.
I don't usually talk about it
because people think
I'm gonna convert them, but
I know what you mean.
What's the matter?
I wish I'd met you
three months from now.
Why? Are you a big fan of summer?
I've told you
what I look like in a Speedo.
No, no, it's just, I
I'm kind of coming off
of a pretty bad breakup.
We were together a long time.
It was my first real relationship.
So now it's
It's too soon.
A little.
So let's just see where you are
in three months' time.
In the meantime,
do we at least get to have dessert?
Are you kidding? Yes, yes.
The first thing I saw
was the chocolate cheesecake.
- All right, cheesecake it is.
- Yes.
- Where have you been?
- I was walking Stephanie to the car.
Well, we need to get Bright out of here.
I hear he's puking in the bathroom.
Oh, looks like he's feeling better now.
Okay, you need to help me,
because he does not listen to me.
Birthday boy, party bus is about to
leave.
Come on, let's wrap it up.
Okay, no more beer for you.
Did you know something?
Let me tell you something.
Did you happen to know
almost all hookers strip
but nearly no strippers hook.
That's not a word, is it? Yeah, it is.
Hook.
Captain Hook.
Okay.
Come on, Bright.
I'm tired, I gotta go.
Trick shot.
I'm about to do a trick shot
for all the ladies in the house.
Idiot, your arm's in a sling.
Come on, let's go.
Mass�, like the pros.
Eight ball, corner pocket.
- Oh, my God.
Bright!
- What happened?
Somebody call 911.
- Thanks for dinner, that was really fun.
- Yeah, it was.
Should we just
try a kiss?
I mean, just to see
if we have anything to look forward to.
Okay.
- Sorry, thought it was on vibrate.
- Yeah.
- It's Amy.
You mind?
- No.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, fine.
Okay.
- Hannah? Don't freak out, okay?
- What's the matter?
There was an accident.
Bright fell through a window.
- They're taking him to the hospital.
- My God, is he okay?
I don't know.
He hit his head, and he's unconscious.
Where are you?
Is there somebody with you?
Yeah, Ephram's here.
We were at a bar.
And they won't let him ride
in the ambulance so
- I gotta go, okay?
- No, no, no.
Go, go, go.
I will meet you there.
It's gonna be all right.
Amy.
What happened?
He was on a chair and he fell off,
and there was glass, and it shattered.
- Oh, sweetheart.
- Where is he?
They took him back there.
Haven't heard anything.
- Oh, Scott.
- Harold.
- Thank God.
- He's stable.
But he's got a subdural, and the CT scan
shows increased intracranial pressure.
- We're worried about a herniation.
- Is he intubated?
- Yes.
- What does that mean?
He can't breathe on his own.
If we don't find a way to relieve
the pressure, he could bleed out and die.
- I should get inside.
- Yes, go.
Thank you, Scott.
- Now what?
- We wait.
- Morning there.
- Morning.
Where's your dad?
He had to go to the hospital
to see someone.
- He always leave you alone like this?
- I'm not alone.
He said you make pretty good pancakes,
but I didn't wanna wake you up.
- What are you doing?
- Working on my bat mitzvah.
Your what, now?
It's a Jewish rite of passage
where I become a woman.
Well, your father's not Jewish.
I know, but Mom was.
And he tries pretty hard.
He got me this coach called a cantor,
and he's letting me have this party.
- He wants to plan the whole thing.
- Your father wants to plan a party?
- Yeah.
Why?
- I didn't realize he got so involved.
I remember him as always being
away a lot, usually at work.
I guess, but Mom's not around anymore,
so he doesn't have much of a choice.
We're very needy.
- Is that so?
- Ephram was way worse than me.
They're okay now,
but last year wasn't pretty.
I don't know.
- You guys look pretty happy to me.
- We do okay.
Oh, those are terrible pictures.
I got better ones.
These are the ones I wanna use
for my video slide show.
You're getting a slide show, huh?
I had to study a whole new language
for this thing.
I deserve some stuff.
Well, there you are.
I've been looking everywhere.
I never thought I'd spend so much time
in a hospital again.
Not for this.
Sweetheart
he's gonna be okay.
I need to tell you something.
I should've told you sooner.
No, no, no, wait.
First let me tell you.
I got a call from Dr.
Chao.
She says your report came back,
and your scan is clean.
- What?
- It means you're officially in remission.
I know it's impossible
to take this in right now
but, Rose, this is wonderful news.
What did you need to tell me?
- Harold, Rose.
- What is it? Is he awake?
No, they're moving him from the ICU.
We can see him now.
You know
you were right.
I wasn't telling you
the whole truth before.
I didn't just come here
to see my grandchildren.
Okay.
I had my hip surgery about
Oh, about two months ago.
And I had to
Went to your old hospital in New York.
I thought it would be a chance
to see you again.
But you weren't there.
That's when I found out that you left
and about Julia.
I was real sorry to hear about that.
You know how much I loved her.
I do.
When I heard that she'd been killed
I thought it would make this easier.
- Make what easier?
- Coming here, seeing you.
I figured you'd be so miserable
and Ionely
you'd take whatever two-bit apology
I could come up with
and forgive me on the spot
for every wrong thing I'd ever done.
But you're not miserable.
I have my days.
Yeah, but you're surrounded
by people who love you
because you worked for it
like I never did.
Well, I do understand the impulse
to walk away.
When Julia was alive,
I was pretty good at it.
You know, you and I have a lot more
in common than I care to admit.
Except you changed.
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life
but you were never one of them.
I'm proud of what you've done here.
And it just makes me realize how much
I've let you down over the years
and I'm sorry.
The only reason you came here
was to apologize to me?
- Basically.
- You're not dying?
You know, you always did have a flair
for the dramatic.
No, I am not dying.
But if that's what it'll take to get
a second chance with you, I could run
Probably run out there
and catch something.
I don't know.
Maybe it would have been different
if I was younger when Mom died.
Maybe.
But I had plenty of chances
to get back in touch, and I blew it.
I don't know.
You're sitting here now, aren't you?
You know, I miss her.
Every single day.
I know how you feel.
Please don't die, Bright.
Please.
Please.
Okay.
