[Chuckles]

I bet we could break it easy.

Stay here?

I'm gonna make you breakfast.

[DEVIN's "Whatever Turns You On" Plays]

What about the record?

[Woman]

Whatever turns you on turns me on

Oh, let's get started Ohh, that's right

Whatever turns you on turns me on

Oh, baby, I'm there

I ain't scared

We're spinnin'round and round and upside down

Flyin' left and right Don't crash this flight

From north and south I'm all I found

[music Continues]

Whatever turns you on turns me on

Oh, let's get started

- [Footsteps]

I thought I told you

to wait in bed?

I have a feeling it might

get a little crowded.

I'll get Kelley.

[Faucet Squeaks]

So, how did you and Kelley meet?

- He burned down my family's restaurant.

- Oh.

I don't believe you'd bring a woman into Mom's house.

[Mr. Morse]:
Don't you even think about

turning this around on me.

First of all, this is my house, and

this is a discussion about you...

and the fact that you continue to be

so reckless with your life.

- Dad, it's my life.

- No! Everything that you do reflects on me.

What you're gonna do now is

you're going back to Putnam immediately.

You will complete your obligation there.

- And in three week's time, you will start at Princeton.

- Dad, why?

Why do I have to start early?

Why can't I just start with everybody else?

I had to pull a lot of strings to make this happen,

and you're going.

Now, I'm sure this girl of yours

is a very nice distraction.

That's what it is. Just a distraction.

It's not your life.

You have much bigger things ahead of you.

Now get your eyes forward, already.

I think you have a bus to catch.

- [Door Squeaking]

- [Sighs] So what is it you think you're doing?

- What is it that you think I'm doing?

- I don't know.

- But whatever it is, it is gonna stop!

- [Phone Ringing]

- What's gonna stop?

- You know what he is!

- No. And you have no idea what he is!

- Will you get the phone?

- Didn't you learn from your sister?

- I'm not Jen.

- I'm walking into this with my eyes open.

- What is it you're walking into?

A relationship... with this kid?

He's gonna be gone in a few weeks.

You're not gonna hear from him again.

- Well, maybe he's different.

- Tell me how.

- Maybe he loves me.

- He doesn't know the meaning of the word!

- And you don't know him.

- [Jo]; That was Dr. Falco's office.

- What did he want?

- He wanted to confirm your appointment for tomorrow.

- They said they talked to you. Why didn't you tell us?

- 'Cause I'm not going.

- Why?

- Because I'm fine. And my knee is fine.

And it's been fine.

And I'm sick of talking about it!

Samantha!

I'm looking for Samantha.

I haven't seen her.

[Sighs]

Well, if you see her,

just tell her it's

important she come home.

Look, I'm asking, Kelley.

Okay?

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I love this spot.

It's like Heaven...

right Here On Earth.

Maybe that's what heaven is.

Maybe we go through life collecting

people and places we love.

And they become our heaven.

And that's where your mom is.

She's in her heaven surrounded

by everything that she loves.

Including you.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

Let's race.

Sam...

[Panting]

[Groans]

- [Kelley]:
Samantha!

- [Sobbing]

What happened?

Are you okay?

[Moaning, Weeping]

So, what's the matter?

- Samantha, what is it?

- [Sobbing]

There's something

I have to tell you.

[Earl]:
Boy, how does it go

from her leg to her liver?

[Falco]:
That's how osteosarcoma works.

We always knew that

this was a possibility.

[Jo]:
What can we do?

[Sighs]

[Falco]:
I wish there was a list of options

I could give you,..but there just isn't.

[Sighs]

It just moved so fast.

Sam.

Hey.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

I'll be back in a minute.

Come and sit with me.

Kelley...

When you tell someone

you have cancer,

no matter how you say it, they just

end up feeling sorry for you.

And I didn't want you

feeling sorry for me.

Could you die from this?

I am gonna die from this.

- There's... There's nothing that they can do for you?

- Sure,

there are things they can do.

They're just not the right things for me.

- But if they can save you...

- Won't.

It's already spread.

Even with the treatment,

the best they can offer...

is a chance I could live a year or two.

It's not worth it.

So, what? You just gonna give up?

You just gonna die?

No.

I'm going to live.

Just not as long as you.

[Horn Honking]

[Malcolm]:
Come look at this stuff.

[Woman Singing]

- Found it at an old place out on Ridge Road.

Oh, yeah.

Jasper, Kelley, come here.

There were angels

- This, uh, English pine... nice and soft.

Good for carving. Look at that.

We won't lose track

'Cause a part of our backs

Feel the weight of wings

Why they fall it's hard to tell

But some things you can't

Buy or sell

Yeah, we only hurt the ones we love

While we don't need a reason

Only give up the thing we deserve

And that's something

To believe in

- [Knocking]

- Samantha? There's a young man here to see you.

Hey.

- So you're comin' home in a couple of days?

- Yeah.

It's good, right?

It's great.

Jas?

About that night?

Oh.

We don't have to talk about it.

Just wanted to say that I'm sorry.

Well... I'm sorry.

What do you have to be sorry for?

I haven't been a very good friend.

You've been my best friend.

You'll always be my best friend.

Always.

I really do love you.

I love you too.

[Sniffling]

[Chattering]

That's in there. Got it?

[Malcolm]:
Bring it... Bring it right there.

[Electric Drill Whirring]

How's she doin'?

If you care so much, why don't

you go down and see her?

What's it to you?

Because I do care about her.

For whatever reason, she needs you.

Am I supposed to stay?

I'm not from Putnam, remember?

I've got a life to get back to.

Do you know how much it kills me every time that

I see her look at you?

Every time I hear her say your name, for Chrisakes?

But no matter how much it tears me

up inside to see you with her,

the one thing that I want right now...

is for you to get over your sh*t...

so that you can be with her.

Because she needs you right now!

Whether you want to admit it

or not, you need her too.

You do not know what I need.

You don't know anything about me.

Well, I know a lot more now, don't I?

I'll get that for you.

Let's go.

[Knocking]

Hey.

- I've been thinking.

- Uh-huh.

I want us to open the restaurant

like we planned.

Okay.

[Sighs]

Boy, you know, I wish you never met that Kelley.

Some people live their whole lives...

and never fall in love.

I lived my life,

and I fell in love.

It's good to be your father.

It's good to be your daughter.

[Sighs]

- Earl?

- Yeah.

[Shuddering]

How could he let our baby go?

[Sobbing]

[music start]

[Woman]

These tears I've cried

I've cried

A thousand oceans

And if it seems

I'm flo-oh-oh

Oh-oh-ting

In air and down this swell

I can't believe

That I would keep

Keep you from flying

And I would cry

A thousand months

lf that's what it takes
