for as long as I needed to,

no matter what.

And she would believe

that one day, it would pay off.

She's different.

No. She's different than

she was when you knew her.

No, she's not.

Of course she is.

I'm not.

And I believe

that she knows that.

How?

Because I've been

sending her stuff, man.

I've been sending her cards

and postcards

and drawings and letters

ever since...

You broke up?

No, ever since she moved away.

We never broke up.

I admire you.

No, I'm serious.

I'm serious,

I admire you, Jason.

For not giving up.

I wish I hadn't quit,

but I did long ago.

What did you quit?

I don't remember.

Something...

Something great.

I think.

Sweetheart?

These letters,

this is not you and Mom.

Dad, this isn't you.

Who do you think wrote them?

Of course it's us.

I don't know these people.

I don't know.

It was a long time ago.

There's still some

of that in us.

What's going on?

These letters, I mean...

You and Dad,

you were so in love.

You were so passionate.

What happened to these people?

They're crazy about each other.

I mean...

I'm not crying!

Christ.

I'm not crying.

Hey, Mama.

Look, I'm not crying.

Get in here; Come on, inside.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Dad, look, I'm not crying.

Hi, Mrs. Carey.

Yeah, I see that. Come on.

I think he might be

a little drunk.

You took him out?

Well, yeah.

Um, is Emmie here,

by any chance?

Have you... Why the hell

would you take him drinking?

It's so good to see you.

Well, it started out

as just a couple of beers.

See? What do you say you

go to your room, son?

No, no, I'm good, I'm

good. I'm not dru...

- I'm not even drunk.

- He's not supposed to drink.

He's wasted...

He's not supposed to drink?

Brandon is not supposed

to be drinking.

I didn't know that and I apologize.

"Brandon is no supposed

to be drinking."

Marty...

"Brandon is not supposed

to be drinking."

Marty, would you please

shut him up?

Hey, that's enough.

But it's okay, I'm fine.

That's enough. I know.

I'm just playing.

- I was just...

- She's not here, Jason.

Well, I...

I saw a car

with New York plates.

Brandon...

Brandon, hey! Hey!

I'd really like you to leave.

Okay, well...

That's enough.

That is e-f***ing-nough.

- Do you hear me?

- I really would like...

That is enough!

Hey, Emmie.

Emmie.

Is she... Okay.

No, she's not here.

Listen, listen, I just...

I need you

to just give her something.

Emmie, come on, Emmie.

Brandon, stop it. Stop it.

There you are; There she is, there she is.

If you give this to her,

I will leave. I will leave. I...

you're going to leave.

Okay, Emmie, I'm gonna leave something

for you. One way or another...

Emmie, Emmie.

Come on. Emmie. What?

What?

Come...

Now you're crying.

But I'm not crying.

Brandon, go to your room.

It's not my room,

it's Emmie's room.

Grandma has mine, remember?

Brandon,

please, it's bedtime.

I'm not a little kid!

You force us

to treat you like one.

You're unhappy?

What do you have

to be unhappy about?

What the f*** do you have

to be unhappy about?

Hey! Huh? Brandon!

Cut it out.

I got a reason to be unhappy.

I got nothing.

My life is sh*t.

It's sh*t.

But you're so unhappy

with your life,

you got to come here

and live some fantasy?

Just tell me what the f*** you

have to be so unhappy about?

Brandon.

Tell me what the f*** you have

to be so unhappy about?!

Brandon, I...

Tell me what the f*** you have

to be so unhappy about!

Brandon!

Brandon, I am serious.

You calm down right now.

Just tell me. Tell me.

Right now!

Tell me. Tell me.

I mean, you got everything.

You got your own

business, your own life.

You got Graham.

You got the f*** out of here.

But it's not enough?

You expect more?

You need more?

Everyone disappoints,

huh, jerky?

Hey, I'm not crying.

No.

But I will tomorrow.

Oh. Hi.

What's wrong, Mom?

I'm so pleased

you're both here.

Just-just let me speak, Gail.

There's something

I need to say to both of you,

and it's very hard.

Have a seat.

I'm not proud of this.

I'm not proud

of myself one bit.

But I can't keep

running around in secrecy

like a little teenybopper.

I'm...

I'm going steady.

With a man.

And have been

for several months.

Evelyn, we've all known...

Marty.

I know that it feels like

a betrayal right now,

but hopefully with time...

Mom, don't you know that

we'd be happy for you?

Well, I can't imagine

you'd forgive me

for cheating on your father.

Daddy's been dead

for over 15 years.

Jack will never

replace Edward for me,

and I don't expect him

to do that for you.

We understand, Mom.

You do?

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

I can't believe

this is happening.

Evelyn,

we're happy for you.

Does he make you happy?

Oh, he does.

And I know this is

a lot all at once, but

Jack's waiting right outside.

And, if you want, I'd like

to introduce him to you.

Please do.

Oh, my God, what a night.

My dears...

this is Jack Davison.

Well, it's a pleasure

to meet all of you.

My lady-friend here

has told me just

wonderful things

about all of you.

Very pleased to meet you, Jack.

Welcome, Jack.

Hi, Jack.

Oh.

You must be Emmie?

Yeah.

What's this?

When's the last time you had

your hair done, hon?

It's been a pretty long time.

Yeah.

So, uh, this is for

something special?

I think so.

Ooh.

Got to hear about that.

There you go.

Thank you.

Hope it's enough.

If that don't do you,

I don't know what will.

Cash or credit?

Uh, credit, actually.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

I suppose it is.

Em?

Yeah?

Brandon, Dad and I

are going to go have

dinner in Wiscasset.

Okay.

You want to come?

No. No, thanks.

We'll probably be home

around 9:
00, 9:30.

All righty.

We're gonna live right there.

On that farm, right...

That's where we're gonna live.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna buy

that farm for you, Emmie.

We're gonna,

we're gonna raise alpaca.

How we doing?

This is breathtaking.

Wait, tell the camera

where we are.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you Niagara Falls.

That's right.

Over 12,000 years old.

I'm the one who told you that.

Are you nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

I'm a little nervous.

Why?

Will you please say something?

I can't believe it!

I- I can't believe it.

I love you, Emmie.

I love you, too.

You still haven't said yes yet.

Will you marry me?

Of course! Yes, of course!

Of course.

God, I love you so much.

I'm just making sure...

Yes, yes, yes.

Say it on camera.

You'll marry me?

I am gonna marry Graham Barker,

and I love you so much.

I can't believe it.

Turn it off, okay?

We need to break up.

Um...

Niagara Falls! Whoo!

We're gonna be married!

I love you, Emmie Carey.

I'm gonna marry you!

Oh...

I want to marry you so much.

I really want to marry you.

This is Emmie Barker.

I think it sounds pretty good.

It has a nice ring to it.

# With all the trials

and tribulations #

# Whisper in the alleyways

# Secret lines we never said

# To anyone who walks

without a moon #

# I look for a time in which
