00:00Pinky, to collect the necessary d-
00:02FUSS!
00:05Trouble is, you could only marry one of us.
00:07Oh, and if I didn't know how you really felt about Del, I'd think you were jealous.
00:13Here's your cake.
00:15I'll go.
00:17Got it.
00:18We'd like to see the show.
00:20You've got to have a new service.
00:22It's a hard job.
00:24Money?
00:25No, what is it?
00:26We got fired today.
00:28Ed Carter's gun drives run us off the problem.
00:32Why would you fire?
00:33You've been too many hold-ups.
00:34You've all been too present in Jericho, Howard.
00:37That's what Ed Carter says.
00:39I'm afraid it's up to him to say who works.
00:41Bad timing.
00:57Be on your way out.
00:58No, it's cosmic timing.
01:01I was on my way to see you.
01:02Really?
01:03Yeah, yeah.
01:04I was I was hoping that we could stand awkwardly in the doorway, which is working out perfectly for me.
01:10It's not awkward, Pacey.
01:23How about I come in?
01:25Great idea.
01:29Can I get you something to drink?
01:33No, I'm okay.
01:36You hungry?
01:38You know, it'd be nice.
01:40Pizza?
01:41That's funny.
01:41I was actually thinking pizza myself.
01:43It would be nice if we could stop being so polite.
01:45Oh, you know, actually, I'm really glad that you said that because I've been meaning to emotionally abuse you for weeks.
01:51I just want to make sure you're up for it.
01:52Pacey.
01:55Okay, I'll stop.
02:04Do you regret it?
02:06Which part?
02:07Do you regret telling me what you told me?
02:10I guess it really depends on whether or not you regret hearing it.
02:17It's hard to regret hearing something that's already been in the back of your mind.
02:23But I think I regret reality as just a general concept.
02:32Just a general concept.
02:35Really?
02:38Do you remember reading those Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid?
02:42Well, you and I both know that I was pretty much a functional litter until the ninth grade.
02:47Right.
02:48Okay, well, I did, but I cheated on them.
02:53Whenever a chapter wasn't going the way I wanted, I wouldn't even finish it.
02:56I would just go back to the beginning until I got a happy ending.
03:01Yeah, everybody does that.
03:02Yeah, but it's not exactly the most realistic way to live your life.
03:05But what makes you think that one false move is going to ruin our entire story?
03:10History.
03:11That was then, Joey.
03:13I'm serious.
03:14We're older now.
03:15I mean, it's not like I'm just going to run out the door if I don't like your choice.
03:24Okay, well, so?
03:27Are you afraid of the whole possibility that it's really just a mean trick?
03:43I don't like this chapter.
03:44It's too negative.
03:47I guess maybe I'm just trying to play out all the worst case scenarios because I want to be sure that you and I have grown enough to be together without always having to replay our history.
03:56Because I'd really like to look into our future.
04:05You want to clean the slate?
04:08Well, yes and no.
04:10I just don't want my prior offenses being held against me.
04:14Well, I mean, we agree.
04:16You and I have, you know, said things and done things that we regret.
04:25But we've changed, haven't we?
04:32Yeah.
04:35Yeah.
04:43So I'm going to go think about some things and you're going to think about things.
04:50And you should probably go now before I lose my ability to think clearly about things.
05:00Well, okay.
05:05Peace.
05:05I don't know.
05:06I mean, don't you think that this is a little too delicate to handle without a plan?
05:14A plan?
05:16Well, you know, I appreciate the fact that you're a slave to structure, but I'm just not sure how to schedule life-changing decisions.
05:24What I meant is that, you know, I could call you or you could call me and see how...
05:33Like you've ever made an excuse.
05:45Go.
05:52Of course.
05:54What about that pizza thing?
06:00Well, that would be an entirely different story.
06:15My head is in the clouds.
06:19My feet have left the ground.
06:22My life is turning around and around.
06:28Every voice inside my head is telling me to run like mad.
06:36On poles and barrels, stars and sunsets.
06:41Hey, hey, hey, yeah.
06:43Hey, hey, hey, yeah.
06:45Every heartbeat, every kiss just makes me wonder what all this is.
06:54Suits of armor, hearts and arrows.
06:58Hey, hey, hey, yeah.
07:05Come on, Potter.
07:06Surely you know how difficult it is to secure a date with a member of the sociology department.
07:11Those women are slick and fancy and look at me like I'm the latest case study of failure of a modern man.
07:18I thought you'd given up on women since the last disaster.
07:21Oh, I had.
07:22Especially after spending some time with Harley and realizing just how evil the affair of sex is from conception.
07:28But let's face it.
07:30If I don't do this now, I'm going to die alone in that old house.
07:36So what do you say, like 3.30?
07:37You girls can study and I can try and find a button down shirt for this decade.
07:41Fine.
07:42Okay.
07:43But I don't feel good about this whole dating thing.
07:45I think it's time you look inward.
07:47You're so wise since distance left you single.
07:51Hey, I'm not feeling right about unleashing Harley on you yet either.
07:55I mean, she's been extra loopy these days.
07:57I think she's into the drugs.
07:59It's called hormones.
08:00I wouldn't worry about it.
08:02I'm very worried about her.
08:05She's got pictures of boys on the ceiling above her bed.
08:09I mean, why there, Potter?
08:11What purpose do you suppose those pictures would serve in that particular location?
08:15Professor Hudson, Harley is completely normal.
08:19One might even worry she's a cliché.
08:22I don't like the sound of a normal girl.
08:25I corrupted a lot of those.
08:26They will do anything to not be normal.
08:29I want her to be more like you.
08:32No anxious, bookish, prone to having boyfriends who live far, far away.
08:39So, no boys at the house or calling the house,
08:43or slowing down while they're walking by the house.
08:46You better watch it, you know.
08:48Sexual deviation might not even be on Harley's mind,
08:50but if you keep being this strict with her,
08:52she's gonna realize that there's something fun and naughty she's apparently missing out on.
08:57I just accepted that I have powerlessness against the high school alpha male.
09:02I can't fight them myself, so I'm gonna build a moat around the house.
09:06What about you?
09:08You had a boyfriend in high school, right?
09:10What was he like?
09:13People change.
09:163.30, Potter.
09:18Hey, and leave your open mind at home.
09:20I don't want you sullying Harley with all that free will
09:23and bringing out the best in people and all that.
09:27Ha ha ha!
09:42Bowsen Leary, this is your life.
09:45I was just thinking, hey George, it's cool.
09:48It's the real nature of things aside, just fine.
09:51Thanks for coming in today, Bowsen.
09:53Class is pretty excited.
09:55You've given them hope for escape.
09:57Ah, they haven't stopped to wonder why I've come back.
10:01I think they assume you're just a pit stop between projects.
10:05That would be nice.
10:07Slow going?
10:09Yeah, well,
10:11I was just trying to figure out a way to tell these kids how to make a success of themselves.
10:17I decided to watch all my old movies.
10:19I wonder why I didn't go to law school.
10:23Sounds to me like you're ready to take over my class.
10:25Let's go, Bowsen.
10:30No, Marty, thank you. Believe me.
10:32Okay, I'll talk to you soon.
10:34I'm just going to put you through to the secretary.
10:36Alright, bye.
10:40Mr. Whittle?
10:42Yeah, Liz, what you got for me?
10:44There's a call for you in line one.
10:46Okay, thank you.
10:49Hello, Pacey Whittle, what can I do?
10:52Hey, how you doing?
10:56Okay, uh,
10:58what hospital are you guys at?
11:00Okay, I'll be there soon. Bye.
11:02Dr. Kelly to OR1.
11:04Dr. Kelly to OR1.
11:10Doug? Doug?
11:12Hey, where is he?
11:14I just took him down for some tests.
11:16But he's up, Pacey. He's walking at least.
11:18I sent everyone else home.
11:21Mom was exhausted.
11:23Is this his room here?
11:25Yeah, they're going to be right back.
11:27Dougie, what's with the old guy?
11:29Is that the waiting room for the morgue, or what?
11:31Pacey just had a seat.
11:33Why didn't you guys get him a private room?
11:35Look, we tried, okay? They were full.
11:37There wasn't exactly time to argue over this.
11:39Well, there's time now, isn't there?
11:41What kind of tests is he having, anyhow?
11:43Just routine tests, Pacey.
11:45Was it a heart attack?
11:47No, not exactly.
11:49I don't understand much about the whole medical science.
11:51Well, who can I find around here
11:53who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about?
11:57You know what, Pacey?
11:59I'd love to sit and walk you through this whole thing.
12:01In fact, that's kind of what I intended.
12:03But you don't get to blow in here and accuse me
12:05of not knowing what I'm talking about
12:07since I've been here all day.
12:09Oh, hey, Doug.
12:11I'd have been here sooner if you would have called me sooner.
12:13I'm sorry, but we were kind of busy.
12:15I was trying to keep our mother and sisters
12:18So I'm sorry if things aren't up to snuff
12:20here for the Wall Street wannabe,
12:22but some of us were concentrating on more important things
12:24like the fact Dad survived.
12:48So...
12:50Any questions?
12:52Todd Carr's the guy who really directed the film, right?
12:54Yeah.
12:56Yeah, he directed, um...
12:58everything.
13:00Except for the ending, actually,
13:02which is pretty drastically different.
13:04Todd Carr is a director known for directing
13:06gratuitous, fleshy music videos
13:08and the occasional blood fest.
13:10You're more of a sentimental realist, right?
13:12Yeah.
13:14I mean, you know,
13:17Is that the word in the street?
13:19I took the opportunity of showing the kid
13:21some copies of your early work.
13:23You know, for a little compare and contrast.
13:25Uh-huh.
13:27So when faced with a different style,
13:29patching together someone else's work,
13:31isn't it a struggle
13:33not to put too much of yourself in it?
13:35Fortunately,
13:37I'd gotten to know Todd so well
13:39and we'd worked on it for so long
13:41that we kind of ended up having a shared vision.
13:43Do you think that's a good thing?
13:45Do you think that's a good thing?
13:47Given that the film went straight to cable?
13:49And you didn't go to film school, right?
13:51No, I didn't.
13:53But Woody Allen dropped out of NYU.
13:55So, I mean, it's all just
13:57how you want to learn.
14:09Do you have a minute?
14:11Or 18?
14:14Yeah. Sure, I'm sorry.
14:16What's your name?
14:18George.
14:20I'd really like to show you my film.
14:22I hope you don't mind.
14:24Mr. Gold said it might be a good idea.
14:26Personal stuff.
14:28I'd love to.
14:30I'll tell you, give me ten minutes
14:32and then we'll watch it in here
14:34if that's all right with Mr. Gold.
14:36Cool.
14:38Hey, thanks, Mr. Leary.
14:40Please tell me you didn't just call me Mr.
14:43My name is Ben, by the way.
14:47He's quite a kid, George.
14:49He knows a lot.
14:53He must be a handful in the classroom.
14:55Dawson, waiting six years
14:57for you to experience all this
14:59was well worth it.
15:01Thanks again.
15:13Today
15:15is tomorrow
15:17I'll call you
15:19from the moon
15:21Today
15:23is tomorrow
15:25And I think
15:27you'll be here sooner
15:29than you think
15:31I'd like to stay
15:33a long time
15:35Please don't. I can hear myself thinking
15:37when it's this quiet. It scares me.
15:39Well, I'd be scared too if I were supposed to be writing
15:42the paper your father wanted to read when he got home.
15:44In fact, the same thing has scared me
15:46many a time.
15:48What page are you on?
15:50It's all up here.
15:52Right. Harley,
15:54you gotta work with me here.
15:56Your dad's not gonna get any easier on you
15:58if you keep aggravating him.
16:00Why do you care so much?
16:02Well,
16:04when he loses control over you
16:06he feels the need to wield his power over everyone else.
16:08So,
16:10you're a smart girl. I wanna see an intro in a half an hour.
16:12How do you know I'm smart?
16:14Because you're already bored with life,
16:16which is only gonna get worse if you spend your teen years locked up in here.
16:18So get to it.
16:24Subtle magic.
16:26Real subtle.
16:28I'm sorry I got a little overexcited in there
16:30with all your girly things.
16:32I only could ski park in there, freak.
16:34Still smells like girl.
16:40I do, however, have to...
16:46This is Patrick.
16:50He's my study partner.
16:53Eighteen minutes a pound
16:55for a pork loin roast
16:57or for a leg of lamb
16:59or for a roast beef.
17:01Okay?
17:03Here's our pork loin roast.
17:05On the top here,
17:07look at that up there.
17:09Look at this.
17:11This is a pork loin roast.
17:13This is a pork loin roast.
17:15This is a pork loin roast.
17:17This is a pork loin roast.
17:19This is a pork loin roast.
17:22Look at this.
17:24Here we have our potatoes and our beans.
17:26Now, it only uses
17:28twelve hundred watts
17:30They moved them.
17:32Yeah, went ahead and got in that private room.
17:36Oh, good for you.
17:38Why'd you swing that?
17:40Slip him a twenty?
17:44Well, that's one way to solve it, I guess.
17:46Doug, I'm sorry.
17:48I got myself all worked up
17:50on the drive up here thinking about the possibilities
17:52and...
17:56I appreciate the fact that you've been here all day.
17:58I am sorry, man.
18:00I was just a little on edge.
18:04You should try having breakfast
18:06with dad and see him grab his chest
18:08and fall over.
18:12I mean, have you ever seen him off guard
18:14one single day in your life?
18:17No.
18:19No, not even close.
18:23It's just, my brother was so scary
18:25about this whole thing.
18:27I mean, I spent so long pushing
18:29the old man's buttons in high school
18:31I forgot there were real feelings left under there.
18:47Okay, Patrick.
18:49If that's even your real name.
18:51Let's see what you got.
18:53I'm sure you can help Harley out
18:55of her little American literature rut
18:57since you're her faithful study pal and all.
18:59Um, I'm actually not technically
19:01in that class.
19:03No.
19:05I'm shocked.
19:07Look, Joey, I get it.
19:09Boy in room. Bad.
19:11But it's not like we were nurse skivvies
19:13or anything, okay?
19:16Yeah, I mean, girl like you must have
19:18broken the rules once or twice.
19:20Know what I mean?
19:22No, actually, I don't know what you mean.
19:24Look,
19:26Josephine,
19:28um, I didn't mean to cause
19:30any trouble.
19:32And I don't want to get in the middle of whatever
19:34bond you and Harley got going here.
19:36I'm sure the three of us can work together.
19:42Not in the way you were thinking,
19:44I'm afraid.
19:46Harley,
19:48I've clearly caused some stress here
19:50and I respect the responsibility
19:52this woman's taking in your life.
19:54How old exactly do you think I am?
19:56What?
19:58It's not old
20:00so much as wise, really.
20:02You seem to be
20:04a timeless sort.
20:06Pained by the world
20:08but more beautiful because of it.
20:14It's very deep.
20:18Unfortunately for you, I know you're kind
20:20and you're harmless.
20:22So, you are staying down here
20:24for the rest of the night
20:26and studying. For real.
20:44Hey, this is Joey. Sorry I missed you.
20:46Please leave a message.
20:48Hey, Pace, he's awake.
20:50We can go in now.
20:56Uh, you've got to lay off
20:58the red meat, Mr. Williams.
21:00Hey, boys.
21:02What's up?
21:04Oh, I'm sorry.
21:06I didn't mean to.
21:08I'm sorry.
21:10I didn't mean to.
21:13This must be your other son, Mr. Williams.
21:15Yeah, this is Pace,
21:17Doc. He's the one I was telling you about.
21:19Yeah, that's me,
21:21the black sheep. Pleased to meet you, Doc.
21:23Actually, your father was just going on and on
21:25about how proud he is of you.
21:27Yeah, who'd have thunk it, huh?
21:29He turned out all right.
21:31He'll be taking care of all of us one of these days.
21:33Yeah.
21:35Anyway, how are you feeling?
21:37You doing okay?
21:39Thanks for coming, Pace. It means a lot to me.
21:42I know how busy you are.
21:44I don't mean to break things up,
21:46but you're still pretty weak, Mr. Witter.
21:48One kid at a time, okay?
21:50Well,
21:52I can just wait outside until you guys are ready.
21:54Uh, no, Pace.
21:56I want you to stay.
21:58Come on, Sheriff.
22:02Okay, well, that's okay.
22:04You know, I've been here all day,
22:06right?
22:09Thanks, Dougie.
22:11All right.
22:17Uh, did you drive down?
22:19Yeah, yeah.
22:21I came down as quick as I could.
22:23Yeah.
22:25No. I was coming to Cape Sud.
22:27Yeah.
22:29You were.
22:31Thanks. I appreciate it.
22:39Thanks.
23:01Thanks.
23:03Thanks a lot.
23:05For what?
23:07No offense,
23:09but you don't know me well enough to know
23:11my silence, Pace.
23:17What did he say?
23:23Right.
23:25Look,
23:27I'm...
23:29I'm new at this.
23:31I mean,
23:33you have any idea how bizarre it is
23:36to go to high school and try and say something profound
23:38about life on the outside?
23:40No offense and other obligatories,
23:42but I'm as ill-suited
23:44to psychoanalyze your crippling self-doubt
23:46as you apparently feel you are
23:48to critique my film.
23:50And my mother serves dinner at six, so...
23:52I'm stalling, George,
23:54because I don't know what to say, all right?
23:56I don't know what to tell you.
23:58I mean, keep going.
24:00You know, your film's good. It's very good.
24:02Yeah, you got stuff to learn.
24:05You can probably trust yourself when you go in for shots.
24:07You need to work on continuity,
24:09but other than that, I mean,
24:11the important stuff,
24:13the stuff you can't teach,
24:15it's there.
24:17So I'm a natural genius?
24:19There's nothing left for me
24:21in these antiquated halls?
24:23Man, you were so much like me when I was your age.
24:25Yeah?
24:27Mr. Gold said that, too.
24:29Did he?
24:31No.
24:35Remember this feeling.
24:37George, remember what it was like
24:39to make a film about something that you loved.
24:41Have the confidence
24:43to do it your way, to control your vision,
24:45keep it your own.
24:47I mean, that's...
24:51I miss that.
24:53Yeah.
24:55You do sort of have the stink of a burnt-out talent on you.
24:57It's scary.
25:01Yeah, I'm a poster child.
25:03Get out of here before I rub off on you.
25:13I thought it was good.
25:15Crete days.
25:17Syrupy sweet with lame music
25:19and all that.
25:21But not too many people have heart anymore.
25:25You can't lose that, right?
25:28Hope not.
25:36All right.
25:38Stay in school. Keep your nose clean.
25:40Don't do sports.
25:54Anyway, I blame you.
25:57Anyway, I blame your mother, Pace.
25:59She got herself
26:01this new cookbook,
26:03Bacon Makes the World Go Round.
26:07I guess that's not the worst concept
26:09I've ever heard of.
26:11Well, it is when the bacon
26:13is going on top of the apple crisp.
26:17I think she's trying to kill me.
26:19It's really funny,
26:21because you're the only one in the family
26:23who's got any money.
26:27Well, this stuff is serious.
26:29I mean, if you've got heart problems,
26:31it's like you've really got to take care of them.
26:33Calm down.
26:35This is nothing.
26:37It's a little exaggerated arrhythmia.
26:39You know, you probably got the same thing.
26:41I don't know what your brother's
26:43getting all worked up about.
26:45Well, I think you gave him a bit of a scare.
26:47He said you went down pretty hard.
26:49Nah, he's just looking for some drama.
26:51He needs to get out more.
26:53He needs to get a life like you.
26:58It can't be good for you
27:00being away from the office as much, can it?
27:02I'm pretty sure they'll understand
27:04given the circumstances.
27:06What about your clients?
27:08You're my father.
27:16You really wouldn't do anything for me, would you?
27:19You really wouldn't do anything for me, would you?
27:25Even after everything, you're still...
27:31You grew up to be one of the good guys, Basie.
27:35I always knew you were.
27:37I should have told you that more often.
27:48Maybe I just didn't always hear you.
28:19Joey, I noticed you're reading Don DeLillo.
28:21White Noise is one of my favorite books.
28:23Really?
28:25And when in your 15 years of life
28:27did you manage to read this?
28:29I'm 16, actually.
28:31I look younger than I am.
28:33I just got my license.
28:35You want to see?
28:37Will you please shut up?
28:39I'm trying to write.
28:41Oh, I'm sorry.
28:43Joey and I can go to the library together.
28:45I just got my license.
28:48Joey and I can go in the other room if you want.
28:50No, we can't.
28:52Patrick, why don't you just leave?
28:54What's your problem?
28:56You really have to ask?
28:58I asked you over here to study.
29:00You and I both know.
29:02Okay, fine, whatever.
29:04I asked you over here to be with me.
29:06Not salivate over my babysitter.
29:08Do you have any idea how gross that is?
29:10I can't believe you still need a babysitter.
29:12When your parents go out of town
29:14don't they make you stay with the Johnsons?
29:17Okay, that's enough from the both of you.
29:19Can we just forget about it and move on?
29:21Easy for you to say, Ellen.
29:23Excuse me?
29:25You know, the phase that launched a thousand ships and all that?
29:27Get people all riled up
29:29and then go knit somewhere in solitude.
29:31Okay, I think you're mixing up your epics.
29:35Point is,
29:37my boyfriend is blatantly flirting with you.
29:39Would you really call it that?
29:41Since when am I your boyfriend?
29:43I hate you so much right now.
29:45I hate you with the burning passion of a thousand STDs.
29:47We haven't had the talk.
29:49No, how could we?
29:51Whenever I try to be serious with you
29:53you like turn into some freaking nature
29:55and you do stuff like this.
29:57Like what?
29:59Like staring at Joey all night.
30:01Like selling me out in homeroom when we were both late.
30:03Like not agreeing to go to the dance with me
30:05until Laura and Riley said no.
30:07Okay, the homeroom thing
30:09was because I was trying to save your reputation
30:11and the Lauren thing was purely defensive.
30:14I got scared.
30:16I was just
30:18keeping my options open.
30:20Options?
30:22Yeah, well take me off your list of options.
30:24That should make things so much easier
30:26for your tortured, assy soul.
30:36Probably shouldn't have said that thing about the options.
30:38To begin with.
30:41Hey, Dougie.
30:43Desperate to see you now.
30:45Yeah, that's okay.
30:47Actually, the nurse said that they're going to be shutting down
30:49visiting hours in about 20 minutes
30:51so we gotta get a move on.
30:53Did he ask for me?
30:55What, like did he send for you?
30:59Doug, we're talking about our father here
31:01not the king of England.
31:03He knows we're both here to see him.
31:05I love the amount of knowledge
31:07you've acquired on dad.
31:09I love the amount of knowledge you've acquired on dad
31:11in the hour that you've been here.
31:13You're starting to throw around paternal references
31:15like they're going out of style.
31:17Well, you've always been more up on high fashion
31:19than I have been.
31:21Just don't even start, Pacey.
31:23For once.
31:25And I know you're all on your game
31:27since your old dad's given you the knob.
31:29Okay, hold on.
31:31What is it that you actually want to talk to me about?
31:33Because from my way of seeing things
31:35you and I are just two brothers
31:38You're the one taking care of the family
31:40I'm the one who's been taking care of the family for years.
31:42Oh, now, Doug, don't you dare get righteous on me.
31:44You cannot lord your resentment over me
31:46because that was your choice.
31:48Yeah, I do happen to make choices.
31:50I know that's a foreign concept
31:52to somebody who plays musical careers.
31:54How did we get here?
31:56Am I stepping on your turf or something?
31:58Are you the only member of the family
32:00who's allowed to be caring and compassionate?
32:02I mean, what did you expect me to do, Doug?
32:04Just chomp on my cigar on the other end of the phone
32:07For the man's funeral, I'm a member of this family.
32:09Yeah, conveniently.
32:11I mean, that's the way it is with you lately, isn't it?
32:13You know, you just swoop in with your
32:15your fancy gifts
32:17you just pull the wool over the whole Wooder family's eyes
32:19and then you're out.
32:21Everybody forgets.
32:25Forget what?
32:27That I'm the family failure?
32:29Am I just never supposed to grow up?
32:31Am I not allowed to want things?
32:33We all want things, Pacey. Believe me.
32:35We all want things.
32:37People deny you that.
32:39Then what?
32:41I'm just not supposed to get them.
32:43So ultimately, this is not about our father.
32:45Which is kind of pathetic, Doug,
32:47considering the condition that that man is in right now.
32:49This is about you wanting to see
32:51my face every day
32:53and know that you're still the good son.
32:55That you're a top dog.
32:57Well, that's just sad.
32:59Dougie, I miss the daily beatings
33:01as much as you do,
33:04Pacey, don't make this a celebration
33:06of your retreat from Cape Side.
33:08I'm not! Man, listen to yourself speak!
33:10I came here to see you!
33:12To see him!
33:14And you know what?
33:16He knows it, and he appreciates it.
33:18Perhaps he's even happy
33:20to know that the son he ignored
33:22for the better part of his life
33:24is not going to hold a grudge against him
33:26until the day he dies.
33:28In a strange way, this might even be a good thing.
33:30You know what?
33:33It's a good thing, Pacey.
33:39It's all yours, little brother.
33:41You know what? It's all yours.
33:43Enjoy it while it lasts.
33:57Harley, come on.
33:59You're blowing this way out of proportion.
34:03Yeah.
34:07Yeah, come on, Harley.
34:09This probably isn't the last time
34:11I'll incur your wrath.
34:15And I mean that
34:17in the best way possible.
34:19Ever had a girlfriend that bad?
34:21She likes it when we fight.
34:23Maybe that's because that's the only form of communication
34:25you seem capable of.
34:27Capable of other forms.
34:29I think.
34:32Look, Joey.
34:34Harley's way smarter than I thought.
34:36I tried this so-called normal thing with her once
34:38and it wasn't pretty.
34:40I was complimenting her
34:42and I felt all sweaty.
34:44I was a freaking mess.
34:46You know, despite what you've been trained to think,
34:48the sweaty palms and such
34:50is actually pretty endearing.
34:52Harley!
34:54Yeah, it's endearing for five seconds
34:56and then she'll look at Peter Guerin
34:58and be smitten with his unavailability
35:00and his freakish height
35:02and we'll be history.
35:04If I keep up with the witty abuse,
35:06at least I'll be the funny one.
35:08It's true.
35:10Oh my god, it is true.
35:12You guys are all the same.
35:14Joey, you've got
35:16some anger.
35:18You've been hurt.
35:20Maybe you've lost someone.
35:22In case you haven't noticed, Sophia.
35:24Harley!
35:26I never could have held onto a firecracker like her.
35:29Maybe I need someone who's more settled
35:31in her ways.
35:33An older woman, if you know what I mean.
35:37You and me?
35:39It's not gonna happen.
35:41And look, Harley is this great, sassy girl
35:43and if she's smart, we'll never
35:45speak to you again.
35:47You slay me, Joey.
35:53The only thing
35:55I want to do to you
35:58is give you some advice.
36:00Walk away right now.
36:02Don't ever
36:04mention me again.
36:06Go home and strum your guitar
36:08or whatever it is you do
36:10and then dream up some fantastic gesture
36:12to get this girl back.
36:14And never think that there is one day
36:16when you have to stop doing that sort of a thing
36:18because that's the worst thing a guy can do
36:20is to give up the chase.
36:22And Patrick. Patrick.
36:24Patrick.
36:26If I wasn't such a nice girl
36:28I would have laughed in your face and called you Junior
36:30the second I met you.
36:32And why didn't you?
36:34Because you remind me
36:36of somebody I know.
36:38Now get out of here before I remember everything
36:40that pissed me off about him when I was your age.
36:42We might never speak again.
36:44I'm crying on the inside. Goodbye, Junior.
36:48Harley.
36:50Come on, it's just me.
36:52Please.
36:56Hey.
37:01I just wanted to
37:03stop by before they close up shop
37:05and see how you feel.
37:07I feel like I could use a scotch.
37:09Other than that, I'm fine.
37:11Well, I was thinking maybe I could stop by in the morning
37:13before you head back to Boston. That's all right?
37:15Yeah.
37:17And Dougie, maybe I'll see you back in the house, huh?
37:19Yeah, maybe.
37:21Good night, guys.
37:23Hey, Pacey.
37:26Thanks for getting me this private room.
37:34No, that was me.
37:36Doug took care of the room.
37:38Good seeing you, pal.
37:40Goodbye.
37:43I'm just gonna put it in a center like this.
37:45Okay?
37:47And slide it all the way through.
37:55Harley.
38:10Hope I didn't put a damper on it.
38:12Sounds like you two were having a swell time.
38:16You and I are mildly acquainted, correct?
38:18Yeah, whatever.
38:22I wouldn't go after your guy.
38:24It's just not kosher.
38:26Okay, look, I know you wouldn't go for Patrick.
38:28You're a girl's girl and all that.
38:30He wouldn't go after me.
38:32He was just
38:34doing what they do.
38:36Just testing the limits.
38:38I get that, Joey.
38:41Half the time, Patrick's just testing me.
38:43What I don't get is
38:45why would he test something that's already on shaky ground
38:47to begin with?
38:49I mean, he started messing with my psyche
38:51before we even figured out if we were together or not.
38:55Was it this hard for you in high school?
38:57Of course.
39:01I mean, but everything's 2020 in hindsight.
39:03You know, now all of the problems
39:05that Pacey and I had seem petty
39:07and all the obstacles
39:10that Doss and I went through just seem
39:12unnecessary.
39:14Dude, how many boyfriends did you have?
39:18It's not as racy as it sounds.
39:22Okay, so how do I skip the middle part?
39:26Like, if you could tell yourself something back then,
39:28what would it be?
39:32I've been wondering lately
39:36why things were different.
39:39You know, why I could talk to Eddie
39:41without being scared.
39:45You know, when you're 16 years old,
39:49so many of your choices are motivated by fear.
39:53You know, like one wrong move in the world
39:55is going to end.
39:57And maybe that's what it is.
39:59Maybe it's just about
40:05I don't know, taking a deep breath
40:07and forgiving yourself
40:09for yesterday's mistakes.
40:11You know, you're going to walk into school
40:13tomorrow and you're going to want to punch
40:15Patrick's face.
40:17But he might just say something
40:19that makes you change your mind.
40:23Hear it, Harley.
40:27So
40:31don't be afraid to move forward.
40:37If all of this is about Eddie,
40:39why didn't you follow him across the country?
40:43Because it's not just about him.
40:47It's
40:51It's about me
40:55and what I'm ready for.
40:57What are you ready for?
40:59That, young lady,
41:01is none of your business.
41:03Your father's going to be home soon
41:06and I don't think I saw too much
41:08essay writing happening
41:10during the histrionics down there.
41:12Okay, okay, God,
41:14when is this battle axe thing ever going to end?
41:16I mean,
41:18you're becoming highly unpleasant.
41:20Never.
41:22I'm honing my winch skills.
41:24Chop, chop!
41:36Chop, chop!
42:00Hey, sir.
42:03Awesome.
42:06Hey, what are you doing here, man?
42:08Uh, long story.
42:10At the moment, we're bringing in some firewood.
42:12What are you doing here?
42:14Uh, well, I was in town
42:16so I wanted to check on your mom,
42:18see how the repairs are going.
42:20Wow, that's...
42:24Yeah.
42:26You all right?
42:30Yeah, I'm fine, but I
42:32dragged my dad into the hospital today.
42:34Oh, my God, is he okay?
42:36Yeah, he'll be okay.
42:38It was a heart condition of some sort,
42:40but he's going to get out in the morning,
42:42so he'll be all right.
42:44But, uh, you know,
42:46no matter how tough you think your dad is,
42:48it's a little disconcerting
42:50seeing him laying there
42:52all vulnerable.
42:54Yeah.
42:56Turned the whole world upside down.
42:58Yeah.
43:00Which is probably
43:03what I think of you.
43:05And probably
43:07a lot of what brought me out here
43:09is...
43:13I just, I was ready for that,
43:15you know?
43:17It's the first time in a long time
43:19I just, I wanted to curl up and be a kid
43:21and let somebody else take care of it.
43:23You know, Jimmie,
43:27I don't know when this happened,
43:29but I became the one
43:32who makes sure the house is warm enough
43:34and you became the one who checks up on repairs.
43:36I do not know,
43:38but sometimes I feel like I've been
43:40playing the part, wearing the suit for so long
43:42that
43:44I may have forgotten
43:46how I got there in the first place.
43:48I know you do this more than I do,
43:50but some kid called me sir today.
43:52What is that?
43:54I don't know. It's strange.
43:56Every time I hear Mr. Whitter, I look over my shoulder.
43:58Who called you sir?
44:00I don't know.
44:02I almost said this kid in my class.
44:04I went to Cape Side High today.
44:06What, in your mind?
44:08Almost.
44:10No, I went to go talk to Mr. Gould's film class.
44:12Get out of here.
44:14Really?
44:16I guess that's what they call
44:18coming full circle, huh?
44:20Yeah.
44:22Yeah, I went there.
44:24I was supposed to talk about
44:26where I am now
44:29and the glamour of the real world
44:31and all that, but
44:33it was weird pace.
44:35I was watching this kid's film today
44:37and all I could think was
44:39I don't know anything.
44:41Or maybe I did
44:43and I just
44:45lost it
44:47somewhere along the way.
44:49Yeah, I know what you mean.
44:51Phew.
44:53Ha ha ha.
44:55Being here.
44:58Being at the high school.
45:00All these ghosts around me.
45:02I want to go back. I want to start over.
45:04Do things the right way.
45:10Yeah.
45:12Yeah,
45:14I'd like the time back.
45:16But I wouldn't have it
45:18the way it was.
45:20Phew.
45:22I just
45:24wanted to pinpoint that moment
45:27where everything goes wrong.
45:29I think it was probably puberty for me.
45:31I can skip that too.
45:35But if you didn't have all the great loves of your life
45:37you wouldn't have anything to make your movies about.
45:39Sure.
45:41Except now that I actually
45:43have enough distance from all that
45:45so I can actually say something about
45:47the loves of my life.
45:49I can't afford to make movies.
45:51Afford? Those are the people I gave it to, my friend.
45:53Come on, I'm a wizard of high finance.
45:55Right, right, right.
45:57I'm the kind of person you pray on.
45:59Sentimental loser
46:01with ten set dreams.
46:03Well, like ten thousand, but who's counting, right?
46:05I'm sorry.
46:07You're just freaking me out there, Mr. Witter.
46:11Alright, we can talk about that some other time, sir.
46:14Alright.
46:24Listen, I just made some coffee.
46:26Do you want to come in and sit down for a while?
46:28It's been a long day.
46:32Yeah.
46:34Yeah, I'd love that.
46:44No time to think.
46:48Time to sleep now.
46:54Time to sink way into blue.
46:57Blue.
47:12So what's your time?
47:16Turn the sound away.
47:22Let it spill quietly.
47:24From your hand.
47:28Oh, when the time is at hand.
47:30Hey, you've reached my cell phone.
47:32No, I missed it.
47:34Leave a message at the end.
47:36Hi, it's me.
47:38So, I thought that I would have an answer
47:40when I picked up the phone,
47:42but I didn't.
47:44And then I thought I would
47:46think of something
47:48as I was talking,
47:50but,
47:53no such luck.
47:57Basically,
47:59I think the problem is
48:01trying to figure this out alone.
48:03I think that maybe we should
48:05do it together, you know?
48:11And,
48:13you know how they say
48:15if you could do it all over again,
48:17what would you change?
