Endless Love Page #3

And the truth is, I just

wanted to make her happy.

I think she's amazing.

Good night.

It was a fun party, huh?

I'm just going to my room.

I have to go.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Last bay over there.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

Hi.

- Oh.

- Whoa.

Are you okay?

Not cool.

I got your text.

I was trying to think of things

I could do for your dad,

seeing as I feel like he didn't

love the closet as much as I did.

You don't need to do that, David.

I do.

I got something in

the box over there.

Jade.

Sorry.

So, I spoke with Dr. Fitzgerald.

- Mmm-hmm.

- And we set a breakfast

for the morning you start.

You know, just so you can spend

that little extra time with her.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

And the dorm's all arranged?

I move in not this

Sunday, but next.

What are you doing here?

- Get away from that car.

- Stop.

Look, it's working.

It was the old carburetor.

It was shot.

I had the right one

laying around the shop,

so I thought you might

wanna hear her run again.

That's amazing! What did you do?

- It's no big deal.

- Thank you.

I never thought I'd

hear that sound again.

Look, Jade told me how much

this car meant to you.

And I tried to rack my brain

around something I could do,

seeing as, you know, we got off on

the wrong foot the other night.

The other night.

When you emerged from a

closet with my daughter.

Dad, he did this for us.

It's a very kind gesture, David.

Would you maybe, um,

join us for dinner?

I wasn't looking for an invite.

I should go home and shower.

You could wash up here.

I have to get changed.

I don't wanna intrude.

No, you wouldn't be

intruding, honestly.

Dad, please.

Yeah, okay. Sure, sure, yeah.

- Great.

- Come on.

You might not know this, David,

but, uh, Jade is following

in her father's footsteps,

enrolling pre-med in the fall.

And since I'm kind of hoping

for a specialty in cardiology,

I just thought there was no better way to

celebrate than with a family heirloom.

No more gifts, Dad.

You've gotten me enough.

It was your grandfather's.

It was mine.

And it was gonna be Chris',

and now it's yours.

Oh, it's too much. Thank you.

Well, I think pre-med

at Brown earns it.

Not to mention your internship

with Dr. Fitzgerald.

Internship? You never

mentioned that.

It's not a big deal, that's why.

Very big deal.

I mean, she'll be leaving and

spending, I don't know, most of...

Um, I, uh, had to

declare my major, too.

It's not as fancy as Jade's, but I

had to major in something, so...

Communications.

Communications.

Always wondered what that meant.

It's the study of

how we communicate.

Well, you know, you can always change

it later if it doesn't make sense.

All right, David. Your turn.

Ah, here it comes, the inquisition.

It's okay. If I can

pass, you can pass.

Keith, did she pass? He still

doesn't call you his girlfriend.

Okay, David, look, we know your

act of generosity with the car

wasn't really about anything

other than my daughter, so...

I'd just love to know a

little more about you,

other than the fact you

can fix an old car.

I'm sure that's not your

most noteworthy quality.

I mean, it might be.

What about your future plans?

Where are you going to college?

Uh, I'm not going to college.

- Oh.

- Mmm.

Don't feel you need it?

No, I'm not saying that.

I took my SATs.

Well, I mean...

No, I wouldn't let

that discourage you.

I mean, not everybody tests well.

Ah, I got a 2090.

Well done.

That's an amazing score, David.

You could get into

UGA with that score.

Maybe. But I like working

in my dad's shop.

And so does he.

And there's nothing

wrong with that.

Yeah, I don't need much.

Warm bed, clean socks,

milk in the fridge.

A nice girl to come home to.

Modern-day romantic. I see.

- Can I just give you a piece of advice?

- Oh, no, Hugh.

Speaking as someone who's been

married for over two decades.

I mean, love is wonderful,

but it's not all you need.

You also need things

like life insurance

and PPOs and unromantic

things, like mortgages.

I get that.

I mean, I'm sure

I'll have all those things one day,

but I do think

that love comes first, you know?

At the end of the day,

what's more important than that?

Oxygen.

Shut up, Keith.

You know, I've seen it firsthand.

I know what it's like

when it's there,

and I know what it's

like when it's not.

So you've been in love before.

No, no.

But my parents were.

They met when they were in high

school, and it made sense.

That's what I wanna find.

True love.

The kind that you fight for,

that you always put first.

That makes you wanna

be good and do better.

And not just with any girl.

But "the" girl.

And when I find that,

that's all I need.

Homeless and in love.

Sounds great.

Maybe I should have said

I was going to college.

Yeah.

I hope that you find that, David.

Thank you.

I mean, you and Hugh did.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

To love.

Yes, to love.

- To love.

- To love.

To love.

I found what you said inspiring.

And inspiration has been in

short supply these days.

Uh, Jade tells me you're a writer.

Oh, I was a writer.

I wrote one book, but then, um,

life got in the way, so...

I've never met an author before.

If I got one of your books,

would you sign it for me?

Sure.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

Good night, David.

Thank you, sir.

- Good night.

- Good night.

David!

She's leaving in two weeks. What

do you think he wants with her?

He's falling in love with her.

Well, she's not ready for that.

Of course she is.

She's 17. It's her time.

She's never expressed any interest.

Oh, you haven't exactly let her.

So what should I do?

I should just encourage her to fall

in love and have her heart broken?

Yes, you should.

I think she'd be great at it.

I was.

Don't make this about us.

Careful.

You're shaking.

Good shaking.

We don't have to do this.

As much as I want to,

I can wait.

I don't wanna wait.

I wanna feel this with you.

Fast.

Who are you texting?

That's unbelievably rude,

after what we just did.

So...

Don't you have to be at

your dad's shop soon?

I should probably go

before everyone wakes up.

It's mine now.

Your first present to me.

I remember him.

You do?

Yeah.

We were in seventh grade

when he was a senior.

He was good. I remember that.

He was good.

What's it like to have lost him?

My dad, he saved us all.

After Chris got cancer, he stopped

working to take care of him.

We wouldn't have got

through it without him.

And we're doing so

much better, really.

I'm lucky that way.

Some families never heal,

and we're doing so well.

It's okay if none of that is true.

But it is.

I know. I'm just saying

it's okay if it's not.

Enlarged ventricles.

Cardiomegaly.

Course of treatment?

Check the patient's kidneys.

Could be in renal failure.

That's good.

So you can stay for

the next surgery.

I've got an angioplasty

starting at 2:
00.

Oh. I actually have plans.

I'm sorry.

Does he know that this thing is gonna

be ending in a couple of weeks?
