Greener Mountains Page #7

more than anything,

that I would have told you anything,

anything that I thought

would make you like me.

I don't have money.

I got a crappy car.

I've never been anywhere cool.

And I couldn't see

how you could ever like me

the way that I liked you.

Then I blew it even worse.

I don't know if telling

the truth from the start

would have changed anything,

but I needed to tell you now

because I'm sick of pretending

to be who I'm not.

I know it makes me sound

like a dumb hick

to love everything here, but I do.

Oh, I can't wait

to sit under the old oak when I'm 90.

And be amazed that that tree is

gonna be here longer than I am.

Okay, Jimmy. Come on,

come on, come on.

You... you probably think

I'm lying about all this.

Why would you ever believe me?

Come on, Jimmy.

- Come on.

- Just once I want you to know

that I'm telling you the truth.

Listen, Jimmy, look, look.

Jimmy, we're talking about

assaulting an officer,

breaking and entering,

reckless endangerment,

I got to do this, okay?

Come on.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Now am I telling the truth?

( police radio chatter )

It is pretty funny you're

going to jail, isn't it?

Jail or no jail, I don't care.

Just knowing you're not

gonna run the place

is all I need to know.

- Guess what?

- Hmm?

I was just talking to Len.

It turns out

m didn't see the end of the game.

So enjoy your new digs

and stay out of trouble, okay?

M:
Days in between

the seasons are the best.

You can feel movement in everything.

Change... I never feared change

or death.

You can't live in a place like this

and fear death.

( quiet murmuring )

How are you?

I'm so glad you could make it.

I'm sorry, J.P.

She was a remarkable woman.

Why don't the three of us

get together in the dining room

after the memorial?

Sure.

( sobs )

( sniffles )

Well, there's never a good time

to talk about these things,

but given the circumstances,

it's best to deal with it

as soon as possible.

Eric:
I'm not sure what circumstances.

She left the place to me, so let's...

well, actually, she didn't.

What do you mean "she didn't"?

- It's a little complicated.

- She left it to him?

Sort of.

What do you mean "sort of"?

Well, M left it to J.P.,

but only if he wants it.

She never wanted to put

pressure on you, J.P.,

to stick around.

What...

what if he doesn't want it?

Then it goes to you.

Well, he doesn't.

You don't.

You don't want to...

you don't want to be stuck

in this dump forever.

As a matter of fact,

I can't think of anything I want more

than to be stuck in this dump forever.

This is...

Len, he's not... he's not blood.

He's not family.

She said she was leaving it to me.

How could she not leave it to me?

Well, she did leave you something.

- Yeah, what?

- Your tell.

My what?

Your tell.

She told me to let you know

your left eyebrow raises.

She got you.

She's giving you your tell.

Your left eyebrow raises when you bluff.

- ( whispering )

- ( door opens )

Max.

Max, uh, you guys can go now.

Just get him out of here.

He's family.

No, he's not.

He's not.

He is not family.

Okay, I am family

and I want him out of here now.

Jimmy is more family than anyone here.

( huffs )

- I got to get back to the station.

Will you excuse me for now?

This is unbelievable.

I don't unders...

what are you doing?

Why... why aren't you

taking him with you?

I just gave him a ride over here.

The charges have been dropped.

- By whom?

- By me.

Okay, Max, hey!

Listen to me.

Are you listening?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

He tried to kill my grandmother.

He attacked me.

He is a felon.

I am still pressing charges.

Now do your goddamned job!

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

What is this?

What is...

well?

S... why don't you

just forget it?

Yeah, I thought you might say that.

( Randall clears throat )

I brought a pie.

Would you like some pie?

M:
I never found the will to travel.

There was so many places in the world

that I wanted to see,

but there're worlds here too

in one drop of water,

in one cloud.

( chuckles )

( applause )

( cheering )

( whistling )

Singer:
You can walk away

You can close the door

Ain't it right?

You got nothing to say

You can't say no more to me tonight

Before you go,

let me look into your eyes

'cause I got something to say

I know it's not what you're made of

So don't turn your back on this love

Just spend forever with me

I'll be at your side

I'm standing in open prayer

To spend forever with you

With nothing to hide

I need you to hear what I'm saying

I want to spend forever with you

Yeah, 'cause until now

We've had a heaven going day-to-day

Plans were made and

the future that we saw

Seemed like fun and games

This voice inside my head

It told me hold onto this girl

It's not too late

I know it's not

what you're made of...

I know it's not what

you're made of...

So don't turn your back on this love

Don't turn your back on this love

Just spend forever with me

I'll be at your side

I'm standing in open prayer.
