It's about everybody'sfamily, really.
It's about the balancebetween what you learn at home
and what you findout in the real world.
ItWell, except it's notbeabout that at all, actually.
Sounds complicated.
It is...
and then again, it isn't.It's just perfect.
Then why the face?
Books, people.
They all have a last page andeventually you have to move on.
And the perfect ones arethe hardest ones to leave.
So I just pick the onesthat aren't quite right--
so that when you do get tothat inevitable last page,
it doesn't hurtas much, y'know?

So, are you planning on stayingin town if you go to med school?

If I do get intoStanford, maybe...
Until then, I think I justreally need to hunker down

Well, if you want abreak from all that fun,
this afternoon we're doingsome training at the station.
Yeah, that could be good.
And I'm sure Jordan andthe rest of the Navy boys

Oh, I'm never contactingSimon ever again.
What did Simon say when youtold him yoWhat?ed his book?

This will destroyhis foundation.
It'll ruin him.
He wants me to usethis against Thomas?
Actually he insisted.
He wants me to usetI don't need this.?

So why don't you take abreak and come join us?
I wish I could, but Ihave to finish this up
before I headover to the forum.
Abby...
no matter how importantthe real world seems,
you gotta be rememberingwho you're doing this for.
Mom, the wedding!
We're waiting!
All right girls,it's fairy time.
Let's see this wedding.
So how was your day?
It was good, then bad.
How about you?
Same-ish.
Good and then bad-ish.
You ever wonder whywe do what we do?
Like why did Igo into the army
and why did I dropout of med school
just to re-applyfour years later?
anAnd why did Iropobecome a lawyer?
I thought you alwayswanted to be a lawyer?
anAnd why did IropWell, I always loved the law.
Arguing a side,defending a position.
But being areal lawyer is--
It's not like on TV?
Exactly.
How did we get here, bro?
I have no idea.
Hey you'reHdropping stuff that way.
You see right here?
Classic!
You hungry?
I'll buy you dinner.
No Mom, I gotta get home.
I gotta keep working onall this inventory stuff.
I just thought we could talk.
Today just isn'tthe best day for it.
Bree, you can't keeppushing people away
because of whathappened with me.
I don't do that.
Oh yes you do!
Don't shut yourself off, honey.
Give people a chance.
Okay, thanks Mom.
We have to talkabout what happened--
I don't want to talkabout what happened!
I don't want to.
I doI can barelytalkhandle the present.!
I'm not ready tohear about the past.
Not right now.
You can't replace what's gone,
and regardless of the financialbenefits of the O'Brien Trust,
the long term effectswill be permanent.
I love what you'vedone to the place.
I'm not quitedone decorating.
Well, it's a good start.
What do you want, Mick?
I want to talk to you.
Let's pull up the graphicof the O'Brien Trust.
So, you workingeverything out?
Getting used to theacoustics, sightlines?
Pop taught us to be prepared.
I thought thatwas the Boy Scouts?
Them too.
And to be trustworthy,loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous,kind, obedient,
cheerful, thrifty, brave,clean, and reverent.
We can't do this, Thomas.
We can't stand up infront of the entire town
and argue about the property.
People have a rightto know what you plan
on doing with that land.
Yes, they do.
And they have a rightto hear both sides.
But not here andnot in this way.
You're afraid you'll lose.
But not here andnoNo, I'm not.y.
The forum is rigged.
Give me a minute, Bobby.
This is all half-truthsand garbage.
And it would ruin me.
Yes it would.
So what now, yougoing to use this?
I was thinking ofbuying you a beer.
Now?
What about the forum?
Like I said, this isn'tthe time or the place.
Beer, huh?
They might be mad atboth of us for this.
Yeah, they might.
This doesn't mean it's over.
I figured as much.
I'm not stopping!
No, not you.
IWhat's up Megan?
I tried to talk to Bree.
She shut me out,wouldn't even go there.
I'm so sorry.
But you know,sometimes people just...
well, maybe Breejust wasn't ready.
Maybe she's justtoo much like me.
well, maybe BreeWell you know darling,
if she's having troubledealing with the past,
a lot of people do,
then she's gonna have difficultybringing it into the present.
But I have to helpthis family heal.
All of us.
If they're havingtrouble in the present,
why don't youconcentrate on that?
The past can wait,it's not going anywhere.
That's for sure.
Where is everyone?
They're not coming,and I hate them.
Well, it's kind ofnice it's just us.
It's like we're in areal Italian restaurant.
It is?
Yeah, except next timeyou make chicken parmesan,
remember you gotta takeit out of the plastic.
We don't have to dothis, they're not coming,
remeso we don't haveakeit to eat together,ic.
which is good.
Are you kidding me?
You're gonna love it.
Do you guys know whyMom has to see us?
No, I have no idea.
I hope it doesn'ttake too long.
