Harley: Wow, AP Biology? That's ambitious.
Daisy: I might be a screw-up, but I know my classification systems.
Harley: You are not a screw-up.
Daisy: Will you stop avoiding? I know I already said I'm going to hit the books this year, but let's talk about what's really important.
Harley: Okay, more important than your senior year of high school?
Daisy: You and Gus.
Harley: I'm fine. I am. I am fine.
Daisy: You're not sleeping. You're barely eating. If you're too proud to call him, I will.
Harley: Don't you dare. Daisy, we need time apart, okay? Can I focus on you, for today, just you? Oh, my gosh, was he always that cute?
Daisy: Go on, meet him halfway.
Natalia: I think we register over here.
Ashlee: Mom, I got your message. What's wrong?
Doris: Oh, dear, you didn't get to Ralph, did you?
Ashlee: Who's Ralph?
Doris: Only the top stylist in Springfield.
Ashlee: That was the emergency, my hair?
Doris: Well, and I've missed you.
Ashlee: Mom, what do you want?
Doris: Can't a mother miss her daughter? Besides, I just want to know, what's going on. How was your day?
Ashlee: Well, it was good, actually. Buzz, he gave me a raise.
Doris: He is trying to steal votes by being nice to my daughter.
Ashlee: Mom, it wasn't like that. And for the record, I earned that raise.
Doris: Oh, of course you did, dear. And what about your personal life? How are things going with Stuart?
Ashlee: Well, they're not. I mean, Mom, I tried-- I really did-- but there was just no connection. It's not like the way I feel for...
Doris: Oh, Henry. You know, it is one thing to work for the enemy. It is quite another to sleep with him.
Ashlee: Mother!
Doris: Oh, you haven’t. I guess I should be grateful.
Ashlee: I don't know how I feel about Coop anyway. I mean, one minute we're really close, and then the next, it's like...
Doris: Oh, well, don't worry, Ashlee, sweetheart. Mommy knows that you'll do the right thing.
Reporter: I want them just like that.
Doris: Smile, Ashlee.
Reporter: Perfect. Hi, Ashlee. I'm Amy Douglas from WSPR, here to talk to you and your mom. Okay, let's get this interview started.
Ashlee: Interview?
Ava: Coop? What a nice surprise.
Coop: Well, I am always here.
Ava: And you think I was waiting for you, right? Well, I hate to break it to you, but I'm a busy woman.
Coop: Great. Then I will leave you to it.
Ava: Okay, fine, all right? I was waiting for you. I wanted to apologize.
Coop: For what you said about Ashlee?
Ava: I'm a poor loser. Tell me her secret. Then maybe I can understand and move on.
Coop: The secret is, there is no secret.
Ava: Come on. She's a female.
Coop: Oh. Well, thanks to Ashlee, I have a higher opinion of women than you do.
Billy: Oh, hey. The house... the house on...
Lizzie: The one that collapsed.
Billy: Yeah, did they bring the...
Lizzie: The people that were in it?
Nurse: They're in ICU.
Billy: Wait, wait. My brother and his new bride, are they on there? Are they on the...
Nurse: Names?
Billy: Oh, names, yeah. Josh Lewis and Cassie Lewis-- or Cassie Winslow. Okay. I'm just nervous that something happened to them that's all.
Nurse: They're here.
Lizzie: Can we see them?
Billy: Yeah. How are they?
Nurse: No, I'm sorry. You really can't go into ICU. It's just not allowed.
Billy: Hey! Oh, wow! You're okay? Oh, my gosh!
Josh: Yeah, but some of the families inside weren't so lucky.
Cassie: We were just with them in the ICU.
Billy: What a terrible, terrible accident.
Frank: If it was an accident. I’m sorry folks, but I’m here on official business.
Gus: Harley.
Harley: We're checking out the volleyball.
Gus: Yeah, um... I just want you to know something.
Natalia: You know, we didn't come here together.
Harley: It's actually none of my business.
Gus: You know, what I'm... I just... I'm here, you know, for my son, and I'm here for your kids, of course. But I just happened to run into her and Rafe on the way over here, so...
Harley: It's okay. We live in the same town. We are going to see each other. And I want you to be part of Daisy's life. That's fine.
Gus: And Zach and Jude. I mean, nothing really has to change, right?
Harley: I hope you have a great year. Daisy, why don't give them a tour?
Daisy: Harley...
Harley: Go.
Natalia: Rafe, you have all the stuff you need?
Rafe: Yes. I have my lancet, my tester, my granola bar, my pencil case, and I can tie my own shoelaces.
Gus: Why don't you tie them? Be nice.
Natalia: Harley, I just... I wanted to...
Harley: Don’t.
Natalia: I need you to understand that as far as...
Harley: I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Natalia, but I don't care what you need.
Gus: Maybe we shouldn't do this in public, huh?
Harley: Don't do that, okay? There's not going to be a throw down here. No best girl wins.
Natalia: And I don't need any sympathy, either.
Harley: I think that's a wise choice.
Natalia: But, like you said, we are going to see each other, and I want for you to know that I am not your enemy.
Harley: I'll try to buy that, for the kids' sake.
Gus: Do you want to go somewhere private and talk?
Harley: I'm not finished yet. Natalia, you were young, you loved him, and you lost him. I'm sure it hurt. But I'm the one who is losing him now. And for the record, I think my pain is a little greater than yours.
Doris: Well, it's been Ashlee and I against the world, from the start, right?
Ashlee: I think Buzz needs help with the hot grease tank.
Reporter: And you, Ashlee...
Ashlee: Huh?
Reporter: What is it about your mom that you love most?
Doris: (Laughing) Oh, I don't know if I want to hear the answer to that one.
Ashlee: Her courage.
Reporter: Could you be more specific?
Ashlee: Well, it was never easy, you know. She had to raise me and she had to make a living, and then, she still fights for what she believes in. I don't always agree with her, but I admire her for never giving up.
Reporter: That's quite a tribute, Ms. Wolfe.
Doris: Well, sometimes I guess I'm so busy, I don't know how lucky I am. Ashlee, what's the button?
Ashlee: Uh, look, Mom, I love you, but it stays.
Reporter: I think that's all.
Doris: You know, keep the cameras rolling. I would love to tell you about my plans for urban renewal.
Coop: Your mom doesn't have a clue. You are her number-one asset, and she doesn't even see it.
Ashlee: Well, people see what they want to see, Coop Cooper.
Coop: Wow. Well, if you believe that, you're just as clueless. I tell you that I'm ready to go ahead and do this, and you pull away. I guess I just don't get it. Are you afraid to take yes for an answer?
Josh: Can't this wait, Frank? There are people still being treated.
Cassie: Frank, Josh and I have been at the site since the collapse.
Frank: Listen, I'm sorry. It sounds like you people went through hell, but we have a ton of people in ICU right now that went through the same thing. Now, I'm down here to try and figure out the cause.
Josh: What?
Lizzie: The cause!?
Josh: Frank, the building just collapsed. It takes time to figure out stuff like that.
Frank: We had the building inspector go down and check the site. The report is that it was shoddy construction.
Lizzie: That is a lie.
Cassie: That's impossible. Lewis Construction makes low income housing a top priority.
Frank: Okay, forgive me, but so far I have only heard from the ladies. Billy?
Josh: You got questions, come to me.
Frank: I thought he was in charge.
Josh: This was my project, Frank. I'm the one that brought it to the town and made it a priority.
Frank: Okay, Josh, then how do you explain all of the lapses in the building codes? Because that doesn't sound like you.
Billy: Look, if you're looking for somebody to blame...
Josh: It was clearly an issue with the subcontractor, Frank, okay?
Lizzie: Well, yeah, duh. We're building office parks and hospitals. We farm out our projects like this.
Cassie: Okay. You know what? We should all just be focusing on the families who lost their homes.
Josh: That's absolutely right. We have to pay their medical bills. We have to get them rooms... I don't know, at the Springfield Inn or some place, until we can build them a new home.
Frank: Okay. That sounds great. But it's not going to stop the questions or the consequences.
Lizzie: My PDA is blowing up. The press wants answers.
Cassie: Why don't Lizzie and I go make nice with the sharks?
Lizzie: Good idea. Teamwork.
Josh: What happened?
Billy: Well, actually, it was the subcontractor. Yeah.
Josh: That's bull, and you know it. I said that to cover for you.
Billy: Josh...
Josh: One drink. That's what you said. The day I got married, the day Reva ended up in the hospital, you had one drink to calm your nerves. But it wasn't just one drink, was it, Billy? Not then and not now. There are families without homes in ICU because of you.
Daisy: I wish I had never gone to Chicago and never looked you up.
Rafe: You can't blame my mom for that.
Natalia: I understand, Rafe.
Daisy: Well, then why don't you do something?
Natalia: Believe it or not, Daisy, this is not about me. It's not about you guys. Just focus on school.
Rafe: Yeah, I better go with her.
Daisy: Yeah, I've got to do something.
Gus: So, is this what we are reduced to? Acting like friends?
Harley: Oh, we're not friends. Friends can count on each other.
Gus: You can count on me. Listen, I swear I thought that you would go to bed and maybe just wake up...
Harley: And the whole thing would be a dream? Don't you know me better than that?
Gus: You don't want this. You don't want this divorce.
Harley: It doesn't matter what I want. It does not matter what I want.
Gus: I think it's the only thing that matters here.
Harley: We tried to make it work, and we couldn’t.
Gus: Well, then, we should just try harder.
Harley: I can’t. I can't do it anymore. You can call it pride, you can call it stubbornness, whatever you want. I can't do it anymore.
Gus: Is that what you want to tell the boys? Is that what you told Daisy?
Harley: I didn't tell Zach and Jude anything.
Gus: Well, that's because you can’t.
Harley: No. It's because I want you to do it with me, because you love those kids, and I thought if we told them together, it would make it easier.
Gus: Can we please just wait?
Harley: No. If we wait, it will just be harder for everybody.
Gus: I can't stand this. This is the thing that you want me to help you with? This? This is what I can do for you? I hate it. I hate it.
Harley: I have errands to run, okay? I'll call you.
Gus: Harley? I'll be there to help you with the boys.
Harley: Thank you.
Ashlee: I have to hand these out.
Coop: Yeah, the campaign can wait. There is a martial arts movie marathon going on down on Main Street. What do you say?
Ashlee: I say, I'm sorry, but I promised Buzz.
Coop: Ashlee, Ashlee, what is going on? This is the fourth time I've asked you to the movies, all right? Right now I'm batting zero with you.
Ashlee: Look, I'm not trying to mess with you, Coop. I really am not. But I just...
Coop: What?
Ashlee: I just want to be sure that...
Coop: This is not like taking my English class, all right? You can't be sure what you know until you just do it.
Ashlee: People don't get hurt in English Lit.
Coop: Ashlee, I am not trying to hurt you. But you won't let me prove that to you. You won't let me show that to you. You won't even know anything about that until you let me do it. All right, forget what you feel for me, okay, just for a little bit and just go to the movies with me because you want to see some guys get kicked in the face.
Ashlee: Well, I do like seeing guys getting kicked in the face.
Coop: I know you do. I know you do. I'll tell you what, the popcorn's on me.
Ashlee: Movie popcorn is bad for you. I'm trying to cut down on things that are bad for me.
Coop: Fine. All right. We'll go without the butter on the popcorn. What am I supposed to say?
Ashlee: I don't know, but that's not what I meant. I meant...
Coop: I know. I know what you meant. All right? Just be there, please.
Josh: You can run away from me, Billy, but sooner or later, we're going to have a conversation about this.
Billy: I'm not running. I'm not hiding from anybody. I just need some air, okay?
Josh: And a drink?
Billy: Maybe.
Josh: That's why you screwed up. Why don't you just say it?
Billy: Hey, look, don’t. Alcohol didn't have anything to do with that building falling down.
Josh: Then what was it, Billy?
Billy: Well, it was the schedule. It was the pressure. Hey, you asked me to take over the company, and I did.
Josh: Oh, so it's my fault?
Billy: No. I mean, I was willing, and I took over. And I started making the decisions.
Josh: That's right. You said you were willing. And you could've said no, Billy. You also could have told me when you started drinking again.
Billy: Hey, look, get off the alcohol! Alcohol didn’t... I'd tell you if it was alcohol! It wasn’t. Josh, I got in over my head. I took on too much. I had so many things on my mind.
Josh: Oh, gee, so a low income housing project, that just didn't matter to you? Is that what you're saying?
Billy: It matters to me. You know better than that. Everything matters. That's exactly my point. I was juggling a hundred balls, and I just didn't give that subcontractor the kind of due diligence that I should have.
Josh: You took the lowest bid?
Billy: Yeah. Yeah. And by the time Vanessa told me that he was a crook, it was too late. Now, I'm sorry.
Josh: Yeah, I know, Billy, you're sorry. When you let booze cloud your judgment, you're always sorry.
Billy: No, Josh. This time it was just me. I don't have an excuse. I don't need an excuse. I was the one who made the mistake-- me. And I'll do my damnedest to make it good. That's a promise.
Cassie: Josh Lewis launched this project as part of his ministry. Okay, if we just wanted to make a profit, we would have put up shopping malls.
Lizzie: "Lewis cares"-- it's not a slogan. It's a commitment to our community.
Cassie: That's right. And we are launching our own investigation into this tragedy, and we will not stop until we find the answers.
Reporter: All right. Well, thank you, ladies.
Lizzie: Cassie was fantastic.
Cassie: Me? You were dynamite.
Lizzie: It feels so good to be on the right side for a change.
Cassie: Where's Billy?
Josh: He said he was going to make things right.
Lizzie: Or worse. I have to go find him.
Cassie: It was Billy, wasn't it?
Josh: I never should have asked him to take over the company.
Cassie: You cannot blame yourself for that.
Josh: No. What I can't do is let my brother go down for this, because it will destroy him.
Cassie: Would you put that down?
Josh: Why?
Cassie: Because you’re going to try to take the blame and there is no way in hell I'm going to let you do that this time.
Natalia: Here, that's for you and your ulcer, because I'm sure it's on fire right now.
Gus: Yeah. Thank you.
Natalia: And I'm sorry, because I know... I know how you feel.
Gus: Well, how did you let go?
Natalia: I was carrying a baby, so I didn't have any other options but to keep going.
Gus: That's it? That's your fabulous advice to me?
Natalia: Well, what do you want me to say? What do you want me to tell you? You and Harley are going to get back together? Because I don't know if I believe that.
Gus: No, you don't want that.
Natalia: I came here hoping. And then I saw you and Harley, and that's when I decided to leave.
Gus: Well, I'm glad that you didn’t. I wouldn't have gotten to know my son.
Natalia: I know, and that's the reason that I stayed-- one of the reasons.
Gus: Well, then we're even, because Rafe is not the only reason that I'm glad that you didn't leave.
Natalia: You know what? If you want to be with Harley, there is nothing that I can...
Gus: Well, Harley seems to think that I really never let you go.
Natalia: Well, what do you think?
Gus: Well, I think I didn't really need Alan to meddle in our lives for me to still be drawn to you.
Natalia: I could have told you that.
Gus: I have thought about this, and how we used to be, and, you know, if we... I chose to, you know be in bed with you that night, and...
Natalia: Nick...
Gus: I'm just saying, that was my choice. And before things get all complicated and convoluted, I just think we should sit down and, you know...
Remy: Natalia, you ready?
Gus: Ready for what?
Natalia: We have plans tonight.
Gus: Can you change them?
Remy: It's your call, Natalia.
Natalia: I'm going to go out with Remy tonight, because you could be back with Harley today, tomorrow, next week-- I don't know. And I'm not going to sit around and wait for you to figure it out. Let's go.
Remy: See you, Gus.
(Vacuum cleaner humming)
Harley: What are you doing?
Daisy: Take a load off, Mom. I'm almost done.
Harley: You're supposed to be at orientation.
Daisy: I'm oriented. My mother, on the other hand...
Harley: Is fine. Whatever. Don't look at me like that. You're not helping anything by staying home from school.
Daisy: You think you're a superhero. You're not. At least you don't have to pretend to be around me.
Harley: If any good has come out of this at all, it has been watching you grow up.
Daisy: I'm trying.
Harley: I know you are, and I love it. Thank you for wanting to help me. I do appreciate that.
Daisy: Okay, so let me help you.
Harley: You know what? You know how you can help me?
Daisy: How?
Harley: You can be a kid, be a student, be a pain in the butt-- the things you're really good at.
Daisy: It's just that all that seems stupid in comparison with what you're...
Harley: It's not your job to fix me, okay? You have a very big year coming up. And I'm not just talking about school. You're going to be making new friends. You're going to be applying to colleges. You're going to be making me broke with my credit cards. Maybe you'll even... no.
Daisy: What?
Harley: I was going to say, maybe you'll even fall in love, but let's forget that one, because I think one broken heart in the family is quite enough.
Daisy: You don't have to get your heart broken, though, do you?
Harley: For your sake, I really hope not.
Doris: Do I mind that my daughter is volunteering for the opponent? Of course not. Actually, I am very proud.
Reporter: Really?
Doris: Well, yes. I have raised Ashlee to think for herself, to have her own opinions, and I'm sure she will come around.
Reporter: I have to admit, I'm very impressed by both of you.
Doris: Well, we've had to count on each other, which is why I am the champion of single parents everywhere.
Stuart: Ms. Wolfe, I've got those briefs that you wanted. Oh, sorry. I didn't realize...
Doris: This is Stuart Small. He is one of our talented associates in the D.A.'s office, and also a special friend of my daughter's.
Ashlee: Mother!
Reporter: So it seems you and your daughter have managed to live a normal life, in spite of...
Doris: My marriage to Alan Spaulding?
Reporter: I was thinking more of Ashlee’s time at the juvenile detention facility for trying to murder Alan Spaulding.
Ashlee: Mom, can I go now?
Doris: Well, you know what? There are a lot of people who would stand in line to shoot that man.
Reporter: So I hear. Still, in doing a little research-- here it is-- Ashlee dropped out of school several years ago before you came to town. What happened there, Ashlee?
Doris: You know what, Ashlee was just going through a rough patch at school. All kids do. And you know what? We were actually both quite unhappy there. And Ross Marler called me and offered me a job, and I came to Springfield, which is why I would love to serve the people of Springfield and be your next mayor.
Billy: You know, I keep looking at this stuff, and I can't figure out what it is about it that makes it worth people's lives.
Lizzie: I could have checked out the subcontractor, and I didn’t.
Billy: Hey, come on, wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm the old dog here. I should have checked him out.
Lizzie: You want me to take that drink?
Billy: No. That's the really sick thing, is that after all is said and done, I still want to drink it.
Lizzie: You're human.
Billy: Look, I don't need an excuse, okay? You want to know the truth? The truth is, I had heard things about Marlon Construction Company. I knew they were lowballers. I knew that Marlon was a cheapo. And while I had the meeting, he just kept plying me with booze, and I was thinking about that low bid, and the next thing I know, I had a deal.
Lizzie: You're not the only one to make a mistake.
Billy: Yeah, well...
Lizzie if you want to stay here and keep feeling sorry for yourself...
Billy: Well, you know what? That's exactly what I want to do. That is... but you know I'm an alcoholic and a drunk. I am not going to let this stuff ruin my brother's life.
Cassie: No. You don't get to martyr yourself just to prove that you're on the side of the angels.
Josh: This is not about being a minister. It's about being Billy’s brother.
Cassie: Well, he's your brother, too. When does he have to learn to stand up, to step up?
Josh: Cassie, I was wrong, okay? I asked too much of him.
Cassie: And what about your wife? If you take this all on yourself...
Josh: I can handle it.
Cassie: If some judge decides to...
Josh: Cassie, Cassie, Cassie! All I want is to get married, okay? I want to go on a honeymoon, I want to go to some place quiet and fish for brook trout and soles like every other minister on the planet.
Cassie: Well, then don't let anything get in your way.
Josh: This is not anything! This is my brother! This is Billy! If I can't go to bat for him on this, then what the hell is the use of the words I preach! Maybe you and R.J. should go out of town for a little while, okay?
Cassie: Are you freakin' kidding me?
Josh: No. I'm serious. Just go someplace.
Cassie: I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. And I should slap you for even suggesting that.
Josh: Cassie, this could get ugly.
Cassie: Do I look afraid?
Stephen: Hey.
Josh: Hey. Catch anything?
Stephen: Just a cold. Listen, you want my advice? Before you put on the collar, meditate and take up golf.
Josh: Actually, I golf a lot already. As far as the collar goes, I may have to put it off. You heard about the building? Sorry, the building collapse?
Stephen: Yeah. Was that one of yours?
Josh: Guilty.
Stephen: And the people who are trapped?
Josh: They'll be fine, once we find them new housing. But there will be an investigation.
Stephen: Surely they can't think that you're responsible?
Josh: Actually, God forgive me, I want them to.
Cassie: Frank!
Frank: All right, Cassie, just give me a second here. I'm waiting to hear from the building inspectors.
Cassie: Yeah. I can tell you who is to blame for the building collapse.
Frank: Yeah, well, right now we're looking at the subcontractor, but that doesn't mean it's going to let Lewis off the hook.
Cassie: That's what I'm trying to tell you. Josh and Billy are not responsible.
Frank: Look, Cassie, I admire your loyalty, but...
Cassie: Would you listen to me? Josh was still in prison when the building was in its planning stages, and Billy had a million other things on his plate.
Frank: Okay. So who was in charge then?
Cassie: You're looking at her. I went to the prison with the papers for Josh to sign. He signed them, but I made the decisions. I'm the one who decided this. I hired...
Billy: Don't listen to her. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
Ava: Congratulations!
Ashlee: Oh, great.
Ava: Ah, don't worry about it. You won.
Ashlee: This isn't a tennis match.
Ava: Really? It isn't? I guess we all get caught up in the fantasy of happily ever after. Then again, you are on one side, and I'm on the other.
Ashlee: Ah, but Coop is not a tennis ball.
Ava: Really? Well, he kind of looked like that when he shaved his head that one time, with peach fuzz, you know? It's okay, you can smile.
Ashlee: I still know you're trying to play me.
Ava: Okay. So I'll be honest.
Ashlee: Yeah, why the hell not?
Ava: If I can't have Coop, then I want a fast-track career at Spaulding Enterprises.
Ashlee: Well, I can't help you there. I shot the C.E.O.
Ava: Well, it didn't stop him from funding your mother's campaign.
Ashlee: You lost me.
Ava: If I get involved with this campaign, Alan will notice me. He'll appreciate it, just like he appreciates building houses for the poor.
Ashlee: Only without the "doing good for others" part.
Ava: Will you put in a good word for me with Doris?
Ashlee: You work for Alan. You don't need me to get in with Doris. Besides, I back Coop's dad.
Ava: Well, that will be great, because she'll be very grateful that I'm working with her then, won't she?
Ashlee: Why should I help you?
Ava: Because you're a good person, and because if I'm involved with the campaign, I'll be busy, and that means I'll spend less time with Coop.
Coop: Hm, I knew you'd come. Doris?
Doris: Hi. Can we talk, without a referee?
Coop: Well, why don't we have a seat right over here before you and Alan decide to pave the whole place over.
Doris: Oh! I am here as Ashlee’s mom, not as a candidate. Ashlee is a very complicated young woman.
Coop: (Laughs) Well why don't you tell me something I don't know?
Doris: There are a lot of things about Ashlee that you don't know.
Daisy: I don't get it. How are we supposed to act normal at school when nothing is normal with them?
Rafe: Look, maybe it would just be better if Gus and my mom get together.
Daisy: You should have seen Harley, the look on her face when your mom and Gus showed up together.
Rafe: Yeah, well, it's the same look that my mom gets on her face when Gus and Harley are together.
Daisy: But, hello, they're married.
Rafe: No. They're separated.
Daisy: You want your mom and Gus... no, no.
Rafe: My mom and Gus have a history.
Daisy: Yeah. You're just giving him a pass because he is your father.
Rafe: Look, how about we let Gus deal with his own life? And if that means being with my mom, then so be it.
Daisy: I can't deal with that.
Rafe: But it's not your choice.
Daisy: Or yours.
Zach: Is this a divorce?
Harley: No. Nobody is going to talk about divorce right now.
Gus: What we are is teammates. We're teammates, and teammates always stick together, no matter what.
Zach: I don't want you to go.
Jude: Me either.
Gus: I'll tell you what. Listen up. I'm only going to be across town, okay, at the Beacon hotel. You know the big fancy hotel that's got that big swimming pool, and it's got the game rooms? You can come any time you want.
Zach: My dad left and never came back.
Harley: Hey, you know what? You're taking them to the park tomorrow, right? He's taking you to the park. And you guys think of questions you want to ask him tonight...
Gus: Yes, I'm going to take them to the park. It's just us, alone. I promise. I promise. Okay? Now, listen to me. I'm counting on you to look out for your mom and your little brother, especially your mom, even if she says nothing's wrong, because you're the man of the house now. All right?
Josh: My brother Billy and I used to go fishing in this little stream behind Cross Creek all the time. Of course, I was the one with all of the latest equipment, you know-- the maps, the books, stuff like that. But Billy would just fish. He caught all of the big ones every time.
Stephen: And who had to clean the fish?
Josh: I did.
Stephen: Why did I know that? (Laughs)
Josh: He needs me.
Stephen: The town needs you.
Josh: I'm not giving up on my dream. I just... if I have to put it off for a little while, for my brother...
Stephen: Greater love hath no man.
Josh: So you're not mad at me? You don't feel like you've wasted your time?
Stephen: Josh, if you're willing to sacrifice your reputation and maybe even your freedom to save your brother, well, then my time and God's has been very well spent.
Josh: Thank you.
Cassie: My mistake, my responsibility.
Billy: Wait. That's a crock, and you know it.
Frank: You know what? Maybe I should lock both of you up until I get a straight answer here.
Cassie: Just me. I'm the one who did this.
Billy: Frank, just give us a couple of seconds.
Cassie: Oh, for crying out loud, Billy.
Billy: Look, Josh went holy holy on me, but I'm not going to let you do this.
Cassie: This isn't holy. This is practical. You and Josh have everything to lose.
Billy: You don’t.
Cassie: They will let me off easy. I'm an inexperienced woman, still grieving over the death of my daughter, easily duped by a sleazy subcontractor. Come on.
Billy: That's never going to wash.
Cassie: It will if you shut up and let me handle this. I will resign from Lewis, the dust will settle, and Josh will still have his dream.
Billy: Well, even if I let you, Josh is never going to go along with it.
Cassie: Leave Josh to me. Frank, Billy is right about one thing-- that before I say anything more, I need to talk to a higher authority.
Frank: By higher authority, I hope she means a lawyer.
Coop: Doris, no. Wait a minute. You can't just drop a hint about Ashlee and then just walk away.
Doris: Well, I just want you to know that she had a life before you. Ashlee, hi. Henry and I were just discussing...
Ashlee: Mom, you can stop, actually, because I don't need you to scare him away. I can do it all on my own.
Doris: Well, believe it or not, I was thinking of you.
Ashlee: What was that?
Coop: Nothing. That... it was campaign stuff. So, you changed your mind?
Ashlee: Well, yeah, I guess I can't resist a good karate film.
Coop: Good. I will take that. Come on. Ashlee, you cannot change your mind now.
Ashlee: I'm not. I was just remembering all of the times that I watched movies alone, you know. I'd be in the theater all day, and I'd just stare up at the screen, escaping.
Coop: Well, no offense, but if I had Doris Wolfe as my mom, I'd probably want to escape, too.
Ashlee: You got me there. (Laughing)
Coop: Good, she's smiling. All right.
Ashlee: Okay. I guess we should go in and... I don't want to miss the previews. They're my favorite.
Coop: That sounds perfect. I'll grab the tickets.
Ava: Stuart. Sorry.
Stuart: Don't be. It happens all the time.
Ava: Ava Peralta.
Stuart: I know. I mean, I've seen your legs... that is, I've seen you around town.
Ava: I've noticed you, too, Stuart.
Stuart: You have?
Ava: Yeah. You were with Ashlee Wolfe, right?
Stuart: I was, right.
Ava: Yeah, I know the feeling. I was with Coop until she showed up.
Stuart: I guess... I guess we're both in need of some comfort.
Ava: It kind of makes you wonder, right, what she has that I don’t.
Stuart: Well, her mom said...
Ava: What did she say?
Stuart: She told me to be gentle with Ashlee, like she'd had something bad happen to her in her past.
Ava: Oh, really. And what else she say?
Stuart: Nothing. Just that it happened before they came to town. Now, about us...
Ava: Oh, excuse me. My goodness. It's my phone. It's on vibrate. (Giggles)
Rafe: Harley had her chance, and then she blew it, okay?
Daisy: She blew it, yeah, because Natalia was waiting there to swoop in.
Rafe: Look, my mom doesn't swoop, okay?
Daisy: What? What does she do, Rafe?
Rafe: (Breathing heavily)
Daisy: Are you okay?
Rafe: Yeah, I'm okay. I just don't like fighting, all right?
Daisy: Wait, hold on, hold on. Oh, God.
Rafe: Look, you're worse than my mom, all right?
Daisy: Eat something. Will you eat something, you jerk?
Rafe: Just relax. I'm not going to die, okay?
Daisy: We have to start taking care of each other, okay? No matter what they do, we can't let it get to us.
Rafe: Nothing is going to happen, all right? Not ever again.
Gus: Here. Sorry that we never finished the house.
Harley: Maybe it was just meant to be temporary.
Gus: It never seemed as empty as it does right this second.
Harley: Do you want me just to send your mail to the Beacon -- that is, unless you're moving back to the Spaulding house?
Gus: I'm not going to do that. Natalia and Rafe are there.
Harley: Oh, so they're staying on?
Gus: Well, you know, Rafe has got school.
Harley: You know, it's really none of my business. So you know, I am calling a lawyer.
Gus: Yeah, I guess I should call one, too.
Harley: So...
Gus: Yeah, so... okay. I've got to go.
Harley: See ya.
