Everwood Quotes
Irv: [voiceover] There are moments in life so archetypal, that there's only one proper response, one right thing to say. But as humans, each with our own idiosyncrasies, preferences, and perceptions, we may not always have the response that the universe or, say, our parents want or expect us to have. It is at moments such as these that we realize that the truth has a distinct cost that cant be bargained down. And in these moments we must choose whether to pay the price.

Madison: God, Ephram, you don't even know me.
Ephram: I might not know everything about you, but I do know some things. I know that you're the only person who makes my little sister think it's OK to be a girl. I know how you feel when you sing, cause it's how I feel when I play. I know all you really want from this Jay-guy is for him to get you, and he never will because the only thing he's interested in getting is himself. And, I know that all this stuff about me being too young is just you being afraid... because, it's easier for you to say that I'm too young than to risk something that's not what you thought you wanted. And, most of all, I know that, ever since I kissed you at the D.M.V., every time I've seen you, I've wanted to kiss you again. [pause] And I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure you did. And, you have to...

Bright: You have to keep her guessing.
Ephram: And how do I do that?
Bright: By ignoring her.
Ephram: Ignoring her? That's your plan?

Dr. Brown: Hey.
Linda: This has to stop.
Dr. Brown: So you got the balloons?
Linda: I did, but I don't want them and I don't want the flowers either. Do you understand?
Dr. Brown: Not a big fan of presents. Got it.
Linda: No, it's not the presents. It's you Andy. I'm not interested in you. I'm sorry, I was hoping that we didn't have to have this whole conversation, but obviously we do. The thing is, ummm, I'm-I'm not attracted to you and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but I don't want to date you and I don't parse anything romantic happening between us.
Dr. Brown: Oh.
Linda: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just, I-I didn't know how else to put it. So, it just has to stop, okay?

Tommy: [To Amy] Well, I was gonna say that I heard you were the prettiest, most popular girl at County High. But you didn't care about any of that anymore. You chucked your tiara at the door the day your boyfriend died, and you've been wandering the halls alone ever since, looking for something, or someone to fill the void and keep all the sadness away.

Ephram: [to Madison] You know you said you liked me. You said I made you come 'undone' I am not quite sure what that means exactly but I know it's a good thing.
TV Show: Everwood
Amy: [to Dr. Abbott] You think by keeping me a prisoner in my own home that you're gonna save me? From what, Tommy? You don't even know him. As far as I can see, the only person I need to be saved from anymore is you. I hate this house. I hate my school. I hate my friends, and I hate my entire stupid life. You can ground me Dad, and you can yell at me and you do whatever the hell you want, because honestly, I wish I was dead. I don't feel anything anymore. And you wanna know the best part, I don't even care.

Ephram: What I want is to be able to have a life, and I wouldn't even mind having to share it with you. But you won't let that happen. You're too busy controlling everything and everyone, that I don't even think you know what you're controlling anymore. What is so wrong with me and Madison?
Dr. Brown: Many, many things.
Ephram: No there's not. I know the age thing freaks you out, but there's more to it than that, I can tell. I just can't figure out what it could be. She's great. She's smart. She loves Delia and she even likes you. What is it that you're trying to stop?
Dr. Brown: It's just wrong.
Dr. Brown: Many, many things.

Delia: I'm not mad at you Dad, I just don't want her to be mad at me.
Dr. Brown: Well honey, Linda's not going to be mad at you.
Delia: Not Linda--Mom.
Dr. Brown: What about Mom?
Delia: If I like Linda, Mom will know and she'll be mad.
Dr. Brown: Why would Mom be mad?
Delia: Because she'll be jealous. You think Linda's beautiful. She's got red hair and she's a doctor, and Mom wasn't like that.
Dr. Brown: Honey, there will never be anyone who means as much to me as Mom did. Not anyone. Just like no one could ever take your place or Ephram's. That's the first thing you have to know.
Delia: What's the second?
Dr. Brown: The second thing is that Mom would never be mad at you or me or anyone for liking someone else that wasn't her.
Delia: I don't know, she'd be pretty tough.
Dr. Brown: Well honey, Linda's not going to be mad at you.
Delia: Not Linda--Mom.

Dr. Brown: Delia, when someone we love dies, it's okay to be sad about it for awhile. For as long as you need to be really. But you-you, just can't hang on to all the love that you used to give to that person.
Delia: Why not?
Dr. Brown: Because--love's not worth a whole lot if you just keep it to yourself.
Delia: Why not?
Dr. Brown: Because--love's not worth a whole lot if you just keep it to yourself.

Madison: [to Ephram] Yeah, but here's the thing. You know, you cannot be okay with it and still support his decision. And if you feel like you can talk to him about it, then you should. But if you can't, then talk to me, 'cuz chances are if you're feeling gloomy, I can do stuff to cheer you up.

Amy: [voiceover of her letter to Dr.Abbott] Dear Dad: I'm sorry I forgot your birthday. It's not like me to do that. You probably think that's just how I am these days. That missing your birthday is just more proof that I've become a different person, someone who forgets her family for a boy or a fight or whatever it was that got between us. That's the thing, I don't even know anymore. I know I've disappointed you more than you ever thought possible. I never thought it was possible either. And now I feel kinda stuck in this pattern of messing stuff up and I don't know how to fix it. I wish we could make everything like it used to be, but I guess I'm old enough to know we can't. I know you won't believe me but I think about you everyday and no matter how bad things get or how far apart we may seem, you'll always be my dad and I'll always be your Amy.

Irv: [voiceover] For many years now, this sliver of dust-covered rock has served as a haven for the hope-filled and hormone-driven youth of our town. You won't find it on any map, but everyone knows exactly where it is. We call it The Point. On this uncharted piece of rock, many of Everwood's young people first discovered their capacity for passion, and sometimes for love. For them, the view from The Point will be forever etched in their hearts and minds -- a reminder of one special moment when everything changed.

Dr. Brown: [to Linda] Bad things can happen. And if you don't think I know that after losing my wife, you have no business being my friend, much less anything else. I know things can go wrong, which is exactly why I think it's worth the risk if I can feel this way again. So, no. If you want to break up with me you better find a better reason.

Dr. Brown: [about Madison] Are you sleeping with her? Answer me!
Ephram: No, I'm not sleeping with her. I'm not sleeping with her and I'm gonna be a virgin for the rest of my life, because that's just how my life is! When something is good, it turns bad, and when something's bad it just gets worse. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Ephram: No, I'm not sleeping with her. I'm not sleeping with her and I'm gonna be a virgin for the rest of my life, because that's just how my life is! When something is good, it turns bad, and when something's bad it just gets worse. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Irv: [voiceover] The speed and direction of our path through life are pretty good measures of our age. We race headlong through childhood, never looking back; wanting it to end as quickly as possible. As we get older, we occasionally slow down long enough to look around and savor certain moments: It's a sure sign of growing up. It's only in our twilight years, when our pace is slowed and the long race is nearing the end that we spend most of our time looking backwards, and we wonder why we were ever in such a hurry.
TV Show: Everwood
Ephram: It's amazing, I, I didn't think things could get any better, or, or I could like her any more, but I do. This is what you were warning me about, huh? You knew I was gonna feel this way.
Bright: Well, I don't think I used the word "feel." I might of used the word "feel up." That's totally different.
Bright: Well, I don't think I used the word "feel." I might of used the word "feel up." That's totally different.

Madison: I don't think it works that way, Ephram.
Ephram: Right, the toothpaste, tube. Forget it. [long pause] Do you think we could maybe just pretend? For now, at least?

Irv: [voiceover] Sometimes it's easier to pretend that things are okay, rather than face a difficult truth. So we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life. We hope the comfortable rhythms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer; return things to normal, anything to buy us more time. Playing pretend, make believe, it might be the one thing we never outgrow.
