How many times
do I got to say it?
Maybe till I'm convinced you mean it.
There she goes again, like he's really gonna go for it all of a sudden. Don't they have some tests with monkeys, you know, where they keep doing something over and over and keep getting the same results? I think it's dogs. That's totally shelby -- a dog in heat. You should smack her on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.
Hey.
You're like a stalker
or something, you know that?
I only stalk
the very best.
Why don't you go bother Ezra?
He'll be up for it.
Funny how Freakin's always up for
it
and you're not,
don't you think?
How long is it going to take for her to get the message?
I don't know what you're so scared of. Yeah, right. I guess that means I'll see you there, then. I guess.
Your ex is meeting me in the janitor's shed at 7:30. You can blink now. Tell me I heard her wrong. Well, you know what they say -- every dog has his day. This is not funny.
Maybe this'll mess up her plans. Right, like no one's ever done it in the dark before.
Well, the good news is
it's not the fuse box.
The power's out
everywhere.
That's the good news?
Bad news is that
the ridge-runner dorm
is leaking
like a sieve.
That's not so bad.
We've got extra sleeping bags
in the storage closet.
What?
What is it?
Our policy doesn't even come close
to covering all this damage.
I just checked.
Ooh, yeah, that's bad.
So, what's the plan?
Call Chloe,
beg for money.
And here I thought
the worst of the storm had passed.
You and I both.
Hang on to that.
All right, everybody, listen up.
It's gonna be tight
here tonight, gang.
We're going to do
some rearranging.
Okay?
Listen up.
I'd like to have the trackers
over here by the fireplace. Come on.
I want the sundogs, I want
the ridge-runners over here
by these sleeping bags.
I would like to have the wind-dancers over there
by those tables,
and the cliffhangers
by the back door.
Come on, everybody,
let's move, let's move.
Why did the trackers get the fireplace? It's 20 below by the door. Yeah, they're always getting styled, huh? Oh, really. Is that right? Well, let's think about this. Power's out everywhere, there's no heat. I wonder how we're gonna keep warm in here all night. Duh, you guys, the trackers have to keep the fire going all night.
Could I have everybody's
attention, please!
I believe that the
cliffhangers would like
to file a complaint --
I...Uh, we're cool right here,
right, guys?
Yeah.
It's no problem.
We're great.
By the back door
works good for me.
Hey. Over there, heads up.
She and Scott...
The janitor's shed
at 7:30.
Need I elaborate?
Does Jules know?
What's it matter?
They're history anyway.
Right, Auggie?
You're trippin' hard, girl,
you know
that?
What was that about?
He's happy juliette
and scott broke,
but he's distraught
'cause she's not
with him.
( Sophie ) Get your feet off.
When these two emotions
collide...Instant suffering.
Where do you come up
with all this?
It's in the cards.
What else do the cards say?
That you're verging on a torrid,
passionate love.
What do the cards say about you?
I can't read stuff on myself.
That'd be like a cardiologist
doing a triple bypass
on her own heart.
I know you're frightened, Charlotte, but the storm will pass before you know it. I'm here, your friends are here. She's a little scared. Can you just stay with her for a minute?
Yo, Auggie...
Plant it over here.
Prime spot
to check out the babes.
I don't know about you guys,
but I'm enjoying the wet t-shirt ensemble on Sophie.
( Auggie )
She's wearing
a turtle-neck, homes.
But just underneath that
there's a t-shirt.
I just have
to close my eyes...
Shut up, all right?
What?
You heard me.
Maybe I don't need to get
a puppy after all.
Kids
having a crush
on a counselor
is pretty common.
Scott's attention will shift
to girls his own age
soon enough.
I had a crush
on a teacher once.
Yeah?
Mr. Kraninski.
4th grade science teacher.
He had this ponytail
that went halfway down his back.
What happened to him?
Oh, nothing.
Later that year,
Billy McManus took a
hit for me
in dodge ball.
My heart was pretty much his
till the 6th grade.
I rest my case.
It still makes me a little uncomfortable,
though.
Stick to the drill.
Don't be alone
with him.
Obvious stuff,
you know?
That's what I've been doing.
( Clearing throat )
Good coffee.
Ooh!
Burn yourself?
Oh!
I'm fine.
Can I get some ice?
( Dispatcher )
1-9, base. 1-9, base. 1-9, go ahead.
We've got four cars from Pinky's floating down croft, we need tow trucks down there asap.
I'm on it. Mind if I take this? Sure, just bring it back.
( Operator )
I'm sorry, your call
cannot be completed --
I came by the school
a couple of times.
They wouldn't let me see you.
Did you see the van go by?
The road's flooded.
Great.
You know,
I could
take you the back way.
Route 4 is probably okay.
No thanks.
Oh,
Come on,
you can't get in trouble
for that, can you?
I mean,
you gotta get home somehow.
It'll take 40, 45 minutes tops.
I'm not ready to talk yet.
And we won't.
For 45 minutes?
About us, I mean.
Look, if you're not ready
then you're not ready.
I was just offering a damsel
in distress a ride, that's all.
I promise, Kat.
Will you just let me do my job
and let me give you a ride home?
( Singing )
[ Singing ]
One time a year, here I go
thinkin' about the years
and the
tears we follow .
How do I find
the words to say... [end of singing]
Did you hear me? It's 7:26. Yeah, I heard you the first time.
Hey, guys, I need someone to help me grab more firewood. I got it. It's someone else's turn, Scott. Nah, it's cool. I got nothing better to do. Okay. Rob, why don't you help too? You'll need your rain boots.
This is not happening. I thought you said this is a four-by-four? It is. All four are stuck.
Hey, Sylvia, are you there?
Go ahead for Sylvia.
Sylvia,
this is Hank.
I'm gonna need a tow.
My truck is stuck
on Route 4, about
a mile past Rock Road.
Better Hang tight, Hank. All
the trucks will be tied up in Cross Creek
for a few more hours.
Keep me posted.
[singing ]
I'm so unsteady, as he goes,
through an ocean of love,
I really hope so.
I won't forget
that you're still
a part of me,
cause these tears I cry
they will remind me,
and I'll break down
to what I've got to do,
to reach inside and find a way
to make it through.
In my heart,
I can start again.
Yeah, in my heart
broken dreams will make it
in my heart
I can understand.... [end of singing]
( knocking ) come in. Think you can handle a romantic dinner? Ohh. What? Honey, you shouldn't have.
You should be thanking me. For what? Ruining everything? For saving your butt. Peter's looking for you. We're on kitchens. Hey, this has caffeine in it. Some day you will have to tell me how you acquire all this contraband. Keep dreaming. Can I at least sniff it? Just keep your body parts away. Thank you.
You could leave this stuff,
try later.
Are you mental?
He had his chance
and he blew it.
What if you told him?
Scott is never gonna find out about this.
Why?
Because it's nice?
We're not having
this conversation.
It's the same as
when you rescued Gracie;
didn't want anyone to know.
Shut up, Ezra.
If you really
don't want this
to leak out,
bribes are better than threats.
You can't smell caffeine.
Oh, you are so wrong.
Hey...
You missed out
on a really good time.
Is that why Ezra looks
so happy?
He took my place?
( Clearing throat )
You don't know anything.
I told you I'm not
going to talk and I'm not going to.
Fine, then I'll talk.
Hank --
You don't have to say a word.
That's fair, isn't it?
Kat, tell me to get lost
if that's what you really want,
but don't keep me
hanging on like this.
It's just not fair.
Katherine?
Would you at least answer me?
Get lost.
What?
I said, get lost.
I want...
I need you gone from my life.
It's too much.
I'm gonna go get
some help.
Stay here and lock the doors.
Hank, wait! Wait! Don't leav here! Hank! Wait! I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything.
How's the lip?
Better, thanks.
You taking a break?
9 o'clock.
Gonna grab
some dinner?
Always do.
Maybe I'll take a load off,
join you for a few minutes.
I wanted to ask you
if maybe
you might like to --
'night, Curtis.
Hey, Ollie!
Hey-ya, Curtis.
Ollie, how'd
you get those keys?
I always have two sets.
I already took the other set.
Give me the keys,
Ollie.
I'm fine to drive,
Curtis.
Just give me
the keys, Ollie.
I'll give you
a lift.
Thanks, Curtis.
( Moaning ) yum, yum. Mmm. Ice cream was melting all over everything, so... Hey, we're gonna throw it out anyway, right? Right, yeah. You know, uh, there is a definitive way to do this.
As soon as
the phones are back up
I'm going
to put that call in to Chloe.
Think she'll give you
the money?
I don't know.
Not without a fight I'm sure.
I think the chairman of the board
gets some sort
of satisfaction
out of having me beg.
So, what kind of ice cream
does..."Baaawb" like?
It's "bob" --
three letters: Bob.
'Bawb'...
What sort of ice cream
does he like?
I don't know, why?
Tells a lot about a guy.
Is he a vanilla guy,
or a rocky-road guy,
or a tutti-frutti kind of
guy, huh?
It's too early to tell.
We've only had two dates.
( Canister releasing gas )
You're dangerous with that thing.
That's never
happened before.
Peter!
You can never
have enough.
Mm-hmm
What?
Give it to me.
Ohhh,
I'll give it to you.
I don't trust you.
Come here.
Peter!
Come here,
little girl.
No!
I won't do it anymore. I promise.
Ahh! Oh, my god.
Um, excuse me, Peter.
Sorry to interrupt.
Intake room's flooding.
Oh, uh, I'll be right there.
So, I guess I better make that call.
Good luck.
Yeah, Chloe. No, the phone lines
just came back up.
Yeah, but we need
the money now, Chlo.
The place is literally -- it's flooded and
we have no way to pay for it and...
No.
Please
don't do this to me.
You know how much I hate asking.
Come on, I...
How much?
Yeah, that...
That should cover it.
Uh-huh.
Well, I'll tell you what, um,
thanks, and...
I said thanks.
All right.
No, it's a whole lot different
living here, Chlo.
It's not like the city.
It's one thing to visit but to live here, there's one...
I said there's one restaurant
and it rains...A lot.
( Kat )
Did you ever think about
who would be the worst person
in your life to die?
I don't like
to think like that.
You're right,
it's a little morbid.
It just would have
been easier
if I had drowned
instead of my little sister,
if I had been the one
who died that day.
That's not true.
Don't say stuff like that.
I'm so tired.
Why don't you try to get some sleep?
Uh, Jeff sent us to get some ice cream for a late-night feeding. Oh, you're too late, we already...threw it out. Grab the marshmallows from the pantry. Make s'mores over the fireplace.
This footstool is
not so sturdy.
Oh, thanks.
I'm almost done.
Why don't you go help Daisy?
She can handle it.
It's just marshmallows.
Look,
you better get back.
Stop it!
That'll never happen again, never.
Do you
understand me?
I'm going right now to report
this to Peter. Is that clear?
Do whatever you want!
Do you think I care?
Where's the fire, cowboy? Wait, wait. Not right here. I have an idea.
You were not supposed to be alone with him under any circumstances. We talked about this, Soph. Daisy just walked out. I did set the boundaries. Then they weren't clear. I made a mistake I left just enough room for something to happen.
Sophie, wait.
Come on, give me
some time
to think about this,
okay?
Look, I'm telling you,
it was weird.
He literally flipped out.
I'm sure he was
quite embarrassed.
It was more than that.
I think we were wrong
about it being just
a crush.
My gut is telling me it's something different, Peter, it -- it's about something else.
Okay.
Okay? That's it.
What do you want me to say?
I want you
to say you trust my instincts.
How did you handle it?
I was calm but stern.
I told him I was
coming straight here.
Good.
That's good.
I'll notify his parents in the morning
and then I'll sit down
with him privately
and I'll hear his side.
You don't want to talk to him now?
I think everyone needs
some time to cool off.
We'll decide how
to handle this tomorrow.
So, should I pack up?
It would be a way out for you,
wouldn't it?
That is not fair.
( C.B. Radio )
Peter,
you there?
( Peter ) I do trust your instincts, Soph.
It's Peter.
Go ahead, Curtis.
Your girl got a ride back
with Hank Ferris.
They're stuck in the mud off Route 4.
We won't be able
to get them out
for a few more hours yet.
Thanks for the update.
You bet.
This night just keeps on giving, doesn't it? Why didn't Kat stay at the center? Hank. Well... She should have notified us. We haven't been by the radio. Yeah, well, I'm by the radio now.
Hank.
Yeah?
I'm not ready
for a relationship.
In a way it's like I just got
to there...The school,
like I just started healing.
You've been
at the school
for three years.
But this stuff with
my parents just happened.
I know it's hard
to understand,
but we just forgave
each other really.
I just got my family back,
and that's all
I want right now.
It's all I can handle.
You're allowed
to have friends.
You and I are past that.
And I need
to feel safe.
Wait a minute,
I don't make you
feel safe?
You're not
supposed to.
Love is supposed
to be unpredictable...
Especially when it's new.
That's what's so great
about it...
And why it's so dangerous.
So, um, which bed's yours? Number 4. Guess we could, um, kick it over there. I guess. Who's this? My dad. You guys look alike. Not really. Um...you can kiss me. Actually, you can kiss me more than once.
Let me ask you this.
If you were ready
for a relationship...
It would be with you.
So this old Jewish man
goes to see his shrink.
Oh, please,
Hank, no jokes right now.
No,
it's not a joke.
It's true. It's
right after World War II.
This old Jewish guy goes
to see his shrink.
He's a wreck.
His wife died in a concentration
camp and he can't stop crying.
He misses her so much.
This is
a real story.
Just let me finish.
So the shrink asks him,
"What if the opposite happened?
What if you had died
and your wife had lived?"
And the man says, "Well, that would
have been awful, I mean,
she would have
missed me terribly."
Then it dawns on him.
He stops crying,
shakes his shrink's hand,
he thanks him and he leaves.
I would have been
the worst person for Shannon,
because she loved me so much.
And the way it is now,
wherever she is,
she's not hurting.
Thank you.
[voices in Scott's head] Scottie.
No. What? What's wrong? Earth to Scott.
[voices in Scott's head] Scottie?
Get out. Okay.
[voices in Scott's head] Scottie. You don't mean that.
Get out of here. Get out of my head!
Shelby!
Shelby, Shelby, please.
Don't go.
Scott, you're scaring me.
She's in my head.
I can't get her out.
Who?
Don't go, Shel.
I'm scared too.
Hey, you made it back. Some night, huh? It sure was. The sun will be up before you know it. ( Phone ringing ) Rusty's. They're ready now? Wait, hold on. I gotta run across the street. Could you do me a favor? Sure.
He shoots, he scores.
And the crowd goes wild.
I'm scared.
Your mommy will be right back.
She just went across
to the bakery.
Did the thunder wake you up?
( Thunder cracking )
You know what
my grandpa used to do
when my little sister was
scared of the thunder?
( Gracie nods )
[singing] What will I be when I grow older? [end of singing]
Step up on my feet. Your feet? Yep, step up on those big old ugly boots.
[singing] An old man singing on the park bench. What will I be if I grow tired of the stone-faced man that you carve out of me [end of singing]
She would come into my bedroom,
tell me that she was
scared and stuff.
How long has she been
your step-mom?
A year.
And when was, like,
the first time?
A month, maybe two months
after she moved in.
Don't get mad, but this is
gonna sound really bad.
I kind of thought
guys always wanted it.
Me too.
I thought this stuff
only happened to girls.
Which makes me even more
of a freak.
You're not a freak, Scott.
Elaine's the freak.
This is what I hate. This jacked-up thing
happens to you
and you think it's your fault.
But I never stopped her.
Yeah, but you tried.
But I still...
You know.
Maybe because it felt good.
Is she pretty?
She makes me sick.
Yeah, I know, now.
Think back to when you first saw her,
when your dad
first brought her home.
Was she pretty?
I guess.
So maybe that's why
you flipped out.
You feel like your fantasizing about her, whatever,
makes you guilty.
Well, it doesn't, Scott,
It doesn't make you guilty.
She's my dad's wife.
He loves her.
She's the one playing mind games
and lying and making threats.
She should be the one
carted off
to some psycho ward.
Are you gonna tell these guys here?
I don't know.
If you do,
they'd have
to report it,
you know?
My dad?
Everyone -- your dad, the cops.
It's like the law
of the school or something.
It happened
to a girl before.
She told in group one day
that her dad was abusing her
and they had to report it.
What happened?
He came and took her home.
[singing] It's just another day for the song man. [end of singing]
We were dancing. I can see that ( speaking chinese ) I was scared. ( Speaking chinese ) Good night.
( Scott ) you're not gonna tell, are you? ( Shelby ) No, I won't tell. ( Scott ) Thanks. ( Shelby ) Yeah, well, we'll see what you say when you get my bill.
Think dancing will work
for me too?
I'm not a big fan
of thunder either.
You want to dance?
We'll, um, skip the part
where I stand on your feet.
[singing] What should I do with this song? When numbers and dollars dance in your head should I sing of love, oh that I really don't know [end of singing]
Gracie likes you.
[singing] It's just another day for the song man, woe....
I thought you hated
the sun.
Shining on me,
but it's okay to watch.
Your face looks nice
in this light.
Bag it --
doesn't work on me.
You know,
I've been thinking.
So?
Can you read
tea leaves about yourself?
It's been done.
Ah
I'm giving up
a lot here.
I've got some
conditions.
Conditions?
You read the tea leaves
about yourself in front of me.
There's information stored
in those leaves
that I don't know if I'm ready to get.
You can't handle the pressure.
Piece of cake.
I'm sorry. I'm not the one you should be apologizing to, Scott. Feelings are never wrong. It's the actions resulting from those feelings -- that can get you in trouble. I knew she didn't want me to kiss her.
I think Scott has
something to say to you.
I know what I did was wrong.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Go on.
Scott,
I'm going to have
to notify your parents.
So, he knows you didn't want him to kiss you. He knows he blew it and he knows there's going to be consequences. So, uh... So... Let's go ref a soccer game. Got your whistle? Right here, boss.
Thanks for the ride. I'll see you around. Goodbye, Hank.
Am I in
major trouble?
You were in major trouble till
you called.
It was Hank's idea
to use the C.B.
I'm going
to miss him.
I'm taking this time for me.
Honoring my own truth.
What truth is that?
Learning to love myself again.
Good.
Took me long enough, didn't it?
I think you're
right on schedule.
Come on, Kat.
Cliffhangers need your help.
[singing] It's everything you rush, everything you heed goes in and out with everything I breathe. No one to touch, no one to perceive, it's up and down with all that I believe.
It's everything you rush
everything you heed
goes in and out
with
everything I breathe.
No one to touch,
no one to perceive
goes up and down
with all that I believe
it's everything I wish
my heart
could bleed....
[fade to black]
