Efrem will move to LA,

go through tattoos,

steroids, and a crystal meth addiction.

And he'll admit on his deathbed

that he's always been in love with you.

One day you'll write a movie

about all of this.

Marshall will direct it and you'll watch

your memories on screen and realize...

"Wow, we were so young."

And you'll be right.

We were.

You should get back to sleep now,

before you wake up.

You've got a crazy big life ahead of you

and you're going to need

all the rest you can get.

It's okay.

Marshall's still there.

Hey.

Want me to come lie down

with you a while?

Just 'til you fall asleep?

Would you?

This is your dream, dude.

But now my heart is on its way

And so I feel that I should say

That you could be my only fate

Randy, boy get your

black behind down here.

You're going to miss breakfast.

Just let him know I don't like him.

You want another pancake?

- Yes please.

- There you go.

Ah, nice of you to join us,

sleeping beauty.

Is it too much to ask to have my family

at the table all at once?

"Love is patient, love is kind,

it does not envy, it does

not boast, it is not proud,

it is not self seeking,

it is not easily angered.

It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil

but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,

always trusts, always hopes,

always perseveres.

Love bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends."

Tell that white boy to stop blowing

that horn in front of my house.

This ain't the projects.

Later, Mr. Rousseau.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Move, freak.

There is light at the end of this tunnel

And the rain will cease to fall

Moving right along might be

right or should be wrong

And my soul will cease to fall

There is light at the end of this tunnel

And my soul will cease to fall

It feels like a pleasant surprise

Whenever I look in your eyes

I know what I want it to be

Whenever you look at me

I say there's something

so special in you

I feel like you're feeling it too

now I want to know what's in store

I never knew love before you

Say you're totally crushing on me

Well I got a crush on you too

You know it's true my baby got me saying

What is this feeling

Am I falling in love

It's got me reeling

I just can't get enough

Lord, I'm trying to resist it

But it's so damn insistent

What is this feeling, Oh,

Don't know anything about love

But I'm trying to find out

what you're made of

When you say that you love me

What is this feeling

Am I falling in love

It's got me reeling

I just can't get enough

Lord I'm trying to resist it

But it's so damn insistent

What is this feeling, Oh,

What is this feeling

Am I falling in love

It's got me reeling, yeah

I can't get enough

Lord, I'm trying to resist it

But it's so damn insistent

What is this feeling

What

I don't know

Which way to go

I can't resist wanting your kiss

What is this feeling, Oh,

I don't know

I don't know

Trying to embrace the word

like my mother did

Or do I just kiss the wind

like my father did

What is this feeling

Am I falling in love

Am I falling in love
