it grows.

It represents your wisdom.

It represents

your connection...

to the past.

Thanks for bringing me tonight.

Glad you were with me, Tiger.

- I'm going to miss you.

- What do you mean?

I'm going away.

Now?

Soon.

When will you be back?

You're late.

You missed dinner.

Who was that in the truck?

What truck?

The truck you just got out of.

He's a friend of mine.

What friend?

You don't know him.

Well maybe I do.

His name is Martin Ortiz.

Ortiz?

Does he to the high school?

Not anymore.

- He's a dropout?

- I didn't say that.

Okay, why don't you

just tell me about him.

Instead of playing

twenty questions.

I'm not the one playing

twenty questions.

You know, you can't just

accept rides

from boys, Davey.

He's not just some boy.

He goes to Cal-Tech.

He's just taking some time off.

Cal-Tech.

It's an excellent school.

That still doesn't mean you

can get into a truck

with a boy that we don't know.

Mom.

I'm sure that Bitsy

knows what's best

in this case, Davey.

Since when?

Since when does everyone here

know better than you?

You're turning into them.

Do you realize that?

Just afraid of everything.

You know a person

can get killed,

minding his own store.

Did you ever think about that?

You apologize to your mother

right now.

Walter, she didn't mean it.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear me?!

Your children are totally

out of control, Gwen.

Oh, really?

Are they still my children?

Stop it, stop it,

Stop it, all of you!

# Anytime

you're feeling lonely #

# Anytime you're feeling blue #

Hey.

You're late.

I thought you weren't

even coming.

Well here I am,

ready for the audition.

Have you been drinking?

No...

Okay just a teensy, weeny bit.

Just like a little.

I'm fine, Davey.

I'm fine.

You can't tryout drunk.

Well then

I'm not going to try out,

because I'm sure as hell

not going up there sober.

Then don't tryout.

That was great, Joel.

Thank you so much for coming.

That was fabulous.

Thanks again.

Jane Albertson?

Just tell her you

changed your mind.

Jane?

Here. I'm here.

Don't do this.

Uhm...

I want to do uh,

"Anytime", right?

Yes, right.

You okay there?

Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

Okay.

Ready?

# Anytime I'm feeling lonely

# Anytime I'm feeling blue

You could have had me...

for a friend...

and you chose her.

I hope you're happy

with your choice.

Thank you so much,

Jane, for coming. Thank you.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I feel like I'm

going to throw up.

Davey Wexler?

Go for it, Davey.

I can't believe you

signed me up.

Davey Wexler.

Here.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Woo!

Go for it, Davey.

Shhh. Hush.

Anytime you're ready.

# Anytime

you're feeling lonely #

# Anytime you're feeling blue #

# Anytime

you feel downhearted #

# That will prove

your love for me is true #

That was really good.

I have the music right here.

So why don't I give it to you...

You rehearse it and

Monday we'll work it through.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, see you Monday.

Jane.

Jane, get up.

Come on.

Did I make a fool of myself?

Yes, you did.

Come on.

Look, you need help.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Look, I'm trying to

be your friend,

so don't play this game

with me.

- And what game is that?

- It's called denial.

You're a great one to

talk about denial.

You...

told me your father

is in India.

But that's not what your

aunt told my mother.

You really think

you're the only one

with all the problems?

If you think my life

is just so easy,

you're wrong.

Hey, it's a school night.

You should be studying.

I was watching that.

You know...

with a little effort you could

be getting all A's and B's.

You know, you're really not

working up to your

full potential.

How do you know?

You don't know

anything about me.

That you have to

think about your future.

It's never too early

to have goals.

I have goals.

Well I hope they include

improving your grades.

It's what you learn that counts.

Not what kind of grades

you get.

Where did you learn that?

From my father.

Yeah I should have guessed.

You want to end up like him?

No education.

Running a sandwich shop?

It's a wasted life.

How dare you say that

my father had a wasted life.

You don't know anything.

He was a better man than you.

A better man than you

could ever be.

If your father had been

a better man,

your mother wouldn't be

where she is now.

That's so not true.

That's another example

of a wasted life.

Pregnant in high school.

Destitude at thirty-three.

Shut up, a**hole!

I hate you.

And...

"When the lizards run".

Does that mean something

to you?

Yeah... it does.

Mr. Ortiz...

Mr. Ortiz?

Last night...

His son was with him.

He asked me to give you this.

Hey, Davey.

How are you doing?

Ready to go?

Whenever you are.

See you later, Mr. W.

Alright, stay off the beach.

# Every time we say goodbye #

# I wonder why a little

Daddy.

I need you.

Thanks, Ruben.

Break a leg, okay?

And next up is Davey Wexler,

singing "Anytime."

Change of plans.

# Every time we say goodbye

I die a little #

# Every time we say goodbye

I wonder why a little #

# Why the gods above me

Who must be in the know #

# Think so little of me

They allow you to go #

# When you're near

# There's such an air

of spring... about it #

# I can hear a Lark somewhere #

# begin to sing...

about it #

# There's no love song finer

# But how strange the change

From major to minor #

# Every time we say... #

What the hell?

Daddy?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Help me.

Daddy! Daddy!

Oh, my god. Daddy!

Help me, Davey.

I'm trying.

Help! Somebody help!

Help!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Help! Help!

There was a robbery.

He was shot in the chest

three times for 67 dollars.

So that's how it was...

I tried to help but...

I couldn't.

I just wish I knew what to do.

Remember that you're alive.

He'd want you to live.

Your life...

All the past...

And all the future.

In the summer,

this was the home

of the Tiwa people.

Over 800 years ago.

In the winter they would

go down and live in the caves.

Wow.

You know a lot about this place,

don't you?

I had a good teacher.

It's been a long time since

we've done something,

just the two of us.

I know.

You know, up until now

I've uhm...

I've been afraid

to be alone with you.

Afraid of me?

I was afraid that you would want

to talk about Daddy.

And what happened that night.

And I was afraid that it was

going to be too painful for me.

I did want to talk about it.

I know. I'm so sorry.

I'm ready to talk now, okay?

I miss him.

I miss him so much.

I know, so do I.

What are we going to do, Mom?

I'm going to figure that out.

It's a new recipe.

But I substituted olive oil

for canola,

because canola just

doesn't agree with Walter.

I gotta remember that.

Well, I have some news.

We want you to know,

we think Ned Grodzinski

is a wonderful man,

and we couldn't be

happier for you.

Wait, what?

He's asked your mother

to marry him.

Ned is a good man,
