Vincent and Catherine confront the negative elements of their relationship and begin to verbalize and internalize them. Jealousy and insecurity rear their heads in both, and are dealt with to the best of their abilities. (edit) Here is a list of the pieces read or used in some manner in the show:

Michael's opening reading: Henry IV, Part I, Act I, Scene I by Shakespeare

Samantha's poem: "Piping Down The Valley's Wild" by William Blake

"The Songs of Innocence" by William Blake (edit)

Brooke: Vincent always says that love is more important than anything.

Vincent: Michael, you are a part of us. You always will be, wherever you go. There are times when you must go. When the greatest possibilities, in good faith, cannot be denied. The world Above has so much to offer you; gifts of the imagaination, learning. You have the mind and the heart to cherish these gifts. You are on the brink of a wonderous adventure. But every adventure, must begin in farewell.
Michael: Some adventures don't end happily.
Vincent: All you can do is,proceed, with the faith that they will.

Michael: I want to do this for you.
Vincent: No, Michael, you must do this for you. This is your journey.

Vincent: Perhaps, I have done him a disservice.
Catherine: By encouraging him to embrace his future?
Vincent: I assumed that is what he wanted.
Catherine: Vincent, he has come this far because of his desire, and because you believed in him.

Vincent: I always believed Michael would want this opportunity.
Catherine: You dreamed he could have what you couldn't have. And it is a little frightening when our dreams begin to come true.
Vincent: Yes.
Catherine: Then Michael must come back to face that world, to face those disappointments, to make his peace.

Catherine: Don't worry, Vincent. Michael comes Above with a great advantage over almost everyone else up here. He has your faith in him.

Michael: How do I thank you?
Vincent: You already have. Go now. The world awaits!

Vincent: She's a rare person. You couldn't have a better guide.

Vincent: To leave a safe place and find your way among strangers is a difficult passage for anyone. Fear makes our enemies loom larger and larger.

Catherine: You have to oriented Michael. Too many people go through college disoriented.

Michael: (to teacher at party) What classes do you teach?
Catherine: It doesn't matter. Take her, she's fabulous.
Beth: Mainly the 19th century Romantics.
Catherine: Oh that figures.
Beth: The 19th Century is the only place you can find it these days.
Catherine: Oh, I don't know about that!

Vincent: You must leave.
Catherine: No Vincent. Leave. Now
Catherine: Why do you want me to leave?
Vincent: Because what I'm feeling...My thoughts...Shame me.
Catherine: Tell me. Tell me what you feel!

Vincent: You must not see me like this.
Catherine: Please don't send me away!
Vincent: My thoughts are poisoned.
Catherine: Tell me these thoughts.

Vincent: What you shared...I envied.
Catherine: Vincent

Vincent: I betrayed Michael. I betrayed you. Everything I hold dear.
Catherine: How did you betray me?

Vincent: I know what it is to love you...I love Michael like a brother, like a son. But his life has been such a struggle...He needed to be healed by your tenderness. And yet, I was unwilling to share your love with anyone.
Catherine: Don't be ashamed of those feelings.
Vincent: It violates everything I believe.
Catherine: Don't you think I have those feelings, too? Sometimes, I envy Father, and others in your life who receive your love and your care every day. I know these feelings. They are ugly. But...all of those feelings come from love. They are the other side of it. To turn away from them is to forget where they come from.

Vincent: Catherine... the better part of me would rejoice to see you find love with someone as fine and as good as Michael. You have so much love to give.
Catherine: Because of you!

Vincent: What we share must always be so measured, so limited.
Catherine: We don't know what the limits are!
Vincent: You deserve life without limits!
Catherine: There is no life without limits! Vincent, if this is my fate, I accept it, gratefully. You must believe that. Don't be afraid to want it, even if only for yourself. Don't be afraid to deserve it. You deserve everything!

Vincent: (to Michael) How could anyone not love her? (edit)

"The Songs of Innocence" by William Blake

Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening.
Now, while the rests on the on the mountains, light
Thy bright torch of love: thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves: and, while thou drawest the
Blue curtains of the sky, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep. Let thy west wind sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes,
And wash the duck with silver. Soon, full soon.
Dost thou withdraw; then the wolf rages wide,
And the lion glares thro' the dun forest:
The fleeces our flocks are cover'd with
They sacred dew: protect them with thine influence." (edit)
