TV Show: Everwood
Irv: [voiceover] Sometimes it is only with the ending of a season that a storyteller can find the most appropriate ending to his tale. As the last hours of summer crept up on Everwood, it seemed everybody was just about ready for a change. A fresh start, filled with new adventures and new friends, and some old ones, and those somewhere in between. For if death reminds us of anything, it reminds us of just how resilient the human spirit is... when it wants to be. [edit]

Ephram: I guess that's the one advantage of having a father who has no idea what's going on. He's too clueless to become one of the pod-parents.

Dr. Abbott: Ask any parent and they'll tell you their child is incredibly brilliant. One in a million of those parents might be right. Just try telling that to the other couple hundred thousand.
Dr. Brown: [After Dr. Abbott's cellphone rings to the I Dream of Jeanie theme] You know, that ring takes all the authority out of what you just said.

Ephram: What do you want?
Bright: Nothing, just to enjoy your company. You want my pudding?
Ephram: Alright, what's the favor Bright?
Bright: What are you talking about, what favor? Ok, it's about Amy.
Ephram: No.
Bright: You don't even know what I was going to ask.
Ephram: It doesn't matter, the answer's no.
Bright: Why?
Ephram: Because whatever is going on with your sister is your business, not mine. Whenever I try to make it my business, she gets mad.
Bright: Nothing, just to enjoy your company. You want my pudding?
Ephram: Alright, what's the favor Bright?

Andy: That was fatherly advice, wasn't it?
Ephram: Not bad.
Andy: See, I really am getting better.
Ephram: Hey, Dad. One more thing... can I go to a frat party tonight?
Andy: A frat party?
Ephram: Yes, there's going to be drinking, drugs, unprotected sex. I'll probably be the youngest person there. Besides, I don't want to go. I have to.
Andy: Why?
Ephram: Because you just said that if I know something, I have to do something about it.
Andy: And so having said that, I'm all but forced to let you go to a party I never would have agreed to prior. Maybe you're getting better at this.
Ephram: Not bad.

Madison: Oh cool, my brother reads comic books too.
Ephram: Oh, actually they're not comic books. It's Manga. Big difference.

Delia: Yes you do, you have that guy with the red hair that you won't let me play with.

Ephram: [reading his essay] The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw: my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... it feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse.
So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... except maybe yourself a little.
When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do.
But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again.

Irv: [voiceover] They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whomever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes, or the secrets she keeps.

Delia: My hero was born on April 29, 1958, in Wilton, Connecticut. She wore pearl earrings almost every day and wouldn't take them off, even in the shower. She was tall and beautiful and funny and her name was Julia Brown. A year and a half ago, she died, but before that happened, she did a lot of amazing things. I'd like to tell you about some of them today.

Reverend Keyes: God isn't meant to be understood intellectually. Sometimes he's absent on purpose. He wants us to doubt, it makes us stronger. It opens other doors. And as for tragedy, I'm not dieing you know. I've experienced more with my senses in these past 18 months than I have in my entire life. I can feel Katherine. I can touch her. I can smell her and I can hear every tiny wonderful sound she makes and I love her just the same. Maybe more.

Ephram: Ya know, I don't know why they call it a driving test. All they really care about is parking.

Amy: Well I went out with Ephram but it got kinda weird.
Bright: You guys finally hooked up?
Amy: What?! No. Why would you say something like that?

Amy: I'm just not ready for all the boyfriend-girlfriend stuff and I know with Ephram there'd be no in between.
Bright: Maybe not, but you could do a lot worse. People give me crap all the time for hanging out with Ephram. But I dunno, he's just like...
Amy: Funny.
Bright: Yea! The other day, he's telling me the story about how he's driving a stick for the first time right, and he's like stuck on a hill. Eckleman says: Well what gear were you in? and he says: My jeans and my t-shirt. [they laugh] I didn't even get it at first... and he's also gonna be pulling in some serious jack with his music one day... damn, maybe I should ask him out.

Amy: You were right Ephram, about everything. I have taken you for granted. But hey, you're a better person than I am. Everybody else sees it, I don't know why you don't. As if you didn't know this already, I'm kinda a giant mess right now. I have been ever since you've known me. I might have been more normal in Junior High, I don't know. The point is, you deserve someone great, Ephram, amazing even. Someone a little less like me and a little more like you.
Ephram: For an apology, that sounded an awful lot like a breakup.
Amy: I'm sorry I wasted your time and it would kill me to think I wasted any more of it. I want you to promise me something.
Ephram: Amy.
Amy: Promise me that you won't let me and you get in the way of you and somebody else.
Ephram: [after a long pause] I promise.

Irv: [voiceover] The town of Everwood was built around a silver mine opened in 1857. In 1929, like much of America, the mine closed and a lot of families learned what it meant to go without. It wasn't until another 10 years later that someone started snooping around another part of the mountain and found a kingdom's worth of coal waiting to be unraveled. The mines reopened and that many people didn't have to go hungry anymore. From silver to coal, just like that. A good example of how something you never considered before can become your whole focus and blazing new relief all of a sudden.

Bright: I can do this... if you'll help me. If there's any chance you're still available for help.
Chris: If you'll tell me the one person you'd like to have dinner with and why.
Bright: I don't know.
Chris: Think about it. Who's somebody you have questions for? Who do you talk to in your head?
Bright: I... I talk to Colin sometimes.
Chris: What do you say?
Bright: I just... I tell him how much more fun things were when he was here. I tell him I'm a mess, and I've pretty much screwed up all the plans that we ever had. And I wonder what he would do if he was me, 'cause, man, he could handle anything. He was, like, fearless. I... I'd tell him I miss him.
Chris: Good. That's your essay.
