Quotes

Laynie: Okay, I challenge you. To an "I Hate Everwood" contest. I'll go first. I hate the fact that the eggrolls at Gino Chang's smell like lasagna.
Ephram: I hate that everything here is a 'fest'. Thaw Fest, Fly Fest, Pie Fest. What does that all mean? And, whats so festive about catching some fish or watching some guy melt?
Laynie: I hate that they call it 'Main' Street. It's the only street in town. They should just call it 'Street'.
Ephram: Do you have a subway map of another city covering one wall of your room?
Laynie: Do you choose colleges based on how far they are from here?
Ephram: Have you ever had a dream that you were trapped underground in a sewer full of mice and woke up disappointed to discover that you were still in Everwood?
Laynie: Do you have a packed bag and a plane ticket in your room?
Ephram: C'mon.
Laynie: If you don't believe me I'll show it to you.
Ephram: No, I believe you. I still have the bag packed...I just haven't bought the ticket yet. (edit)
Amy: Laynie's cool, isn't she?
Ephram: Huh?
Amy: Laynie. The two of you looked like you were getting along the other day. That's... that's so great.
Ephram: Well, I'm glad you approve. Why are you so interested in me and Laynie anyway?
Amy: I don't know. She's my friend... you're my friend.
Ephram: Well, we did receive mail together. To which I went back to her place where I believe we shared a beverage or two. At which point I obviously felt it was time to ask for her hand in marriage. (edit)
Amy: Ephram? What are you doing here.
Laynie: I found him after school at the post office hanging around the outbound mail box. I think someone was trying to return him.
Ephram: I wish. (edit)
Andy to Audience: "Dear Valentine, come away with me. If I had a day with you and you only, I would enjoy the simple things. The things that bring joy to the drudgery and the mundane, the things that, in the end, when time steals the rest away, are the only things we'll remember. I would paddle you across a still lake in a rowboat and read poetry to you until you fell asleep, and I would never ever think about the hours."

Andy to Audience: "Dear Valentine, if I had one day with you and you only, I would admire every line of your face, every strand of your hair, every graceful movement of your hands or your eyes or your body. If I had one perfect day. Don't you see, my heart beats only for you?"

Andy to Audience: "Dear Valentine, these are the things I remember, my love... A warm hand, your warm breath, your warm mouth, your arms around mine. I remember feeling safe, ceaseless, like one person, the two of us, still, at rest, entwined. I remember how I felt the first time I kissed you. It felt like... the high dive. What do you remember? How will I ever know what was inside your heart? Where do they go, all the things we think and feel but don't say?"

Andy to Audience: "Dear Valentine, these are the things I never told you, these are the things I need you to know... that I loved you always, and my love was so big, it lives still after you're gone. I'd like to tell you that I would do it differently, that if I had one more day I would do everything right. But I know that not to be true. I'd make all the same mistakes. That is, except one... I wouldn't say good-bye. " (edit)
Amy: Maybe [love's] like math. Problems get easier with the occasional variable that screws everything up.
Ephram: Man, I hope not. I suck at math. (edit)
