A Walk To Remember Page #3

...that wasn't just coincidence,

was it?

Nothing's coincidence.

Your face... You look so familiar.

Like this dame I knew once,

only it wasn't real, it was a dream.

Tell me about this dream girl.

Well, I don't remember.

All I know...

...is you're beautiful.

The song, the song.

The dream.

Help me to remember.

Will you sing for me?

There's a song that's inside of my soul.

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold.

But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So, I lay my head back down.

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars.

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.

When it feels like my dreams are so far

Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours

I know now, you're my only hope.

I give you my destiny.

I'm giving you all of me.

I want your symphony, singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours

I pray, to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope.

hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.

That was great.

Hi, kids.

Honey, I couldn't believe it.

What a transformation.

Thanks, but please stop.

- Don't be home too late.

- Okay. Thanks.

Okay, okay.

- Interesting rewrite you did there.

- I did my best.

Your acting didn't suck either.

- Gotta go. Take it easy, man.

- Okay.

- Landon, you were marvelous!

- Thank you.

Landon? Fine performance, son.

- What are you doing here?

- I thought we'd get a bite.

- I'm not hungry.

- Don't walk away.

You taught me how.

Oh, my God.

Look who's here.

Don't look at him.

You don't want to stare too much.

I guess he doesn't want

to sit with us.

- People can see.

- That would ruin your reputation how?

What's that?

I'm reading books on Rothman's list

of contemporary American authors.

- And how many books are there?

- A hundred.

But then there's his British list

and his European list.

So is this on your list,

to read all these books?

Jamie, I'm trying here, okay?

Maybe...

Maybe I miss spending time with you.

- Maybe you inspire me.

- Sounds like bull.

- Which part?

- All of it.

- It's not.

- Prove it.

Jamie!

- You've no idea how to be a friend.

- I don't just want that.

- You don't know what you want.

- You're scared someone wants you.

- Why would that scare me?

- You couldn't hide behind books...

...or your fricking telescope,

or your faith.

No. You know the real reason

why you're scared?

It's because you want

to be with me too.

We gonna get this party jumping!

Can you turn down Soul Train?

Some of us are trying to work.

You really know how

to bust a robot's groove.

It's all good because we'll get Club

Landon and Club Eric jumping now.

What we got here?

Okay, okay, you're not feeling my

hip-hop, but what the hell is this?

Jamie lent it to me.

You're listening

to her people's music.

- Her people?

- Yeah...

...her Bible-hugging,

crucifix-wearing...

...honk-if-you-love-Jesus people.

- She's not like that.

- Well...

...you got Belinda thinking

that little lip action...

...between you and Jamie

was kind of real.

What's with you? You don't have time

for your real friends anymore.

I don't know, buddy. I'm just over it.

I'm sick and tired of doing

the same sh*t all the time.

This girl's changed you,

and you don't even know it, man.

- Let me guess, Belinda say that too?

- No.

I did.

You.

Me.

What is it?

I got you something.

Thank you.

Well, I'll see you at school.

Okay.

- Mr. Carter.

- Later, Reverend.

Boys like that...

...they have...

They have expectations.

The rules around here

aren't going to change.

Fine.

You might not care

what I say or think...

...but you should care

about God's opinion.

I think he wants me to be happy.

Dad, it's just a sweater.

I'm going to make us

some dinner, okay?

I talked to your dad today.

Said he saw you at the play

for about 10 seconds.

Sending a check once a month doesn't

exactly make him a father.

- Landon, there are a lot of reasons...

- He left us.

You need to forgive him too.

Jamie Sullivan! Oh, me, oh, my,

look at Jamie Sullivan.

She was looking all right

in that play.

She doesn't look hot.

Yeah, I would have to say during

the play, she looked hot.

I have the best idea.

Can you do something, like, move it?

Maybe move it around

a little something here.

Take one.

Let me stop it for a second.

Check it out.

Hey, look at this.

Here.

Take one. Look.

- Jamie. Hi.

- Hi.

Listen, I just want you to know,

no hard feelings.

Landon and I are way over.

I really don't know

what you're talking about.

You'd be so beautiful...

...if you knew how to do your makeup.

- Come on, eat lunch with me.

- Okay.

- Want a Tic Tac?

- No, thanks.

Okay.

Wow.

Is that you?

Nice bod.

Look, this is about me, okay?

This is not you.

Stay here.

Hey, man, no wonder you been

keeping her locked up.

I had no idea this was

underneath all that.

- Dean, stop!

- You stay out of this!

- We're through. We're through.

- That's great.

- We're through forever!

- You okay?

- You made a mistake, Landon!

- You sure?

Let's get out of here.

Hey! You're a little chickenshit!

Baby, I'm sorry. Okay?

They're animals, all right?

You want me to take you home?

Let's get out of here.

- Are you sure you're okay?

- I'm fine.

- Thank you for everything.

- You're welcome.

- I want to ask you something.

- Okay.

Will you go out with me

on Saturday night?

I'm sorry. I can't go.

- You have something else going on?

- No.

- It's not that.

- Then what is it?

I'm not allowed to date.

"Do not be deceived.

God is not mocked.

Whatever a man sows,

that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh,

will of the flesh reap..."

- Can I help you?

- Yes, sir.

I'd like to ask your daughter

to dinner on Saturday night.

That's not possible.

With all due respect, sir,

I ask you to reconsider.

With all due respect, Mr. Carter,

I made my decision.

You can exit the way you entered.

I'm sorry I haven't treated

Jamie the way I should have.

She deserves more than that.

I'm asking you for the same thing...

...you teach us every day in church.

And that's faith.

I can't believe you asked permission.

It's no big deal.

He was cool about it, anyway.

- Thank you.

- This is for you.

- Thank you very much.

- Would you like something to drink?

- Sweet tea, please.

- Make that two.

Right away.

This place is really nice.

Is this okay?

- Don't even worry about it, okay?

- Okay.

Choose whatever you want.

So, what'll it be?

Is everything okay?

- Thank you very much.

- Yeah, me too. Thanks.

Would you like to dance?

Sorry, I don't dance.

Me neither. I mean, not usually

in front of anybody.
