Outside Pool Hall
Chandler: Hey! You're going the wrong way. The fun's in there.
Lucy: Did you ever love someone so much that you felt completely out of control and kept making an idiot out of yourself but you just couldn't help it?
Chandler: Yes, I did.
Lucy: What happened to her?
Chandler: It's not what happened to her, it's what happened to me. She broke up with me.
Lucy: Well if Kevin wants to break up with me, then he can just break up with me.
Chandler: Wait! You... you want to talk?
Pool Hall
Cecilia: That was great.
Simon: You were great. I think I stepped on your feet. Are you okay?
Cecilia: I'm wearing steel-toed boots. I'm fine. You're really catching on fast.
Simon: Well who knew cowboys could dance?
Cecilia: Um... probably everyone but you.
Kevin: Have you seen Lucy?
Simon: No, but we just got here.
Kevin: She was supposed to meet me here an hour ago, but she's not here and it's not like her to be late.
Simon: Well, did you call the house?
Kevin: Yes, I called the house and I actually got through. She left an hour ago. But I'm a little worried about her.
Roxanne: I called the station. No major accidents in the area. So it's probably something simple like she went to the mall, stopped by the library or run into a friend.
Kevin: Remind me, why doesn't your family get cell phones? Never mind. If she's not here in fifteen minutes, I'm going out to look for her and so are you.
Roxanne: I have a date.
Kevin: With?
Roxanne: A guy.
Kevin: What guy?
Roxanne: A guy you know.
Kevin: Smitty?
Roxanne: Maybe.
Kevin: No. You can't date guys we work with. It's not good for your career.
Roxanne: What you mean is it's not good for your love life. You don't want Lucy thinking I like cops.
Kevin: What I mean is you're canceling your date to help me look for Lucy.
Simon: Cecilia and I are actually on a date. Right now.
Kevin: So what? You're looking for Lucy too.
Camden's House - Living Room
Annie: Well the boys are in their beds, but that's no guarantee they'll stay there.
Eric: Who called earlier?
Annie: It was Kevin looking for Lucy.
Eric: I thought they were out together.
Annie: Well Lucy's supposed to meet him at the pool hall. They have a country/western band and dancing all week.
Eric: Oh that must make uh... must make it difficult to shoot pool.
Annie: I... I don't think they're shooting pool.
Eric: Well... what a shame what with it being a pool hall and all.
Annie: The music sounds really fun. Maybe we could go. We... we haven't been out in a long time.
Eric: No, I went out last week and it just got me in trouble. I'm not going out anymore.
Annie: Well you got to have some fun sometime.
Eric: No, I don't think I do. I'm just gonna stay here in my house with my family.
Annie: We could do something else.
Eric: I am doing something else. I'm thinking.
Annie: It might be fun to go and sit out under the stairs and... and think.
Eric: That's a good idea.
Annie: I meant together. I meant we could sit under the stars and think together.
Camden's House - Hallway
Sam: There's a boy throwing rocks at our window.
Ruthie: What boy, Jake?
David: No, a new one. A stranger.
Sam: Stranger, danger.
Camden's House - Sam and David's Room
Ruthie: What are you doing here?
Peter: I don't have your cell phone number.
Ruthie: Well that's because I don't have a cell phone.
Peter: Did I get the right window?
Ruthie: No, it's one floor up.
Peter: You live in the attic?
Ruthie: Yes.
Peter: Cool. How long are you on restriction? How long is she on restriction?
Camden's House - Backyard
Peter: He's not sure. Any chance I could go inside and talk to her?
Eric: Who are you?
Peter: Peter Petrowski. I'm new in the neighborhood. I go to Ruthie's school. We have classes together. I think I'm in love with her.
Eric: She already has a boyfriend.
Peter: I know, but if I'm not mistaken she can't see Jake right now.
Eric: She can't see anyone.
Peter: Come on Mr. Camden, just let me talk to her.
Eric: Mr. Camden. Mr....
Peter: Well you sure aren't Mrs. Camden, are you?
Eric: Mr. Eric Camden. You run along now.
Camden's House - Sam and David's Room
Annie: What are all of you looking at?
Ruthie: Dad's talking to this new guy in the neighborhood. I have some classes with him.
Annie: Well it would be nice to ask him in, only... you're on restriction.
Ruthie: When is restriction over?
Annie: You still got another week.
Ruthie: I understand. But on the other hand, he's just a neighbor. A new neighbor who doesn't know anyone but me.
Annie: And I'm just the mother, the mother who has to say no sometimes. I'm going to go to the pool hall. Your father's here if you need him. And you two are supposed to be in bed. I tucked you in a half an hour ago. Come on. Good night. I love you.
Sam/David: Good night. I love you.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Annie: So, how's our new neighbor?
Eric: Uh he... he's good. He gave me a startling new insight.
Annie: Did you notice that I... I... I changed my clothes and freshened my make-up?
Eric: Is that a trick question? It's not a new hat. I'm wearing a gas mask. Never mind. Just...
Annie: Do you want to tell me what your startling new insight is?
Eric: Not right now. Right now I just want to sit and savor every aspect of it.
Camden's House - Attic Room / Pool Hall
Ruthie: Hello?
Kevin: Have you seen Lucy?
Ruthie: She's at the pool hall.
Kevin: Do you remember what time she left for the pool hall?
Ruthie: It was a long time ago.
Kevin: Did she say anything about running an errand or stopping by the library or anything like that?
Ruthie: No, why?
Kevin: I just thought maybe she misunderstood where we're supposed to meet, that's all. Is Robbie around?
Ruthie: Mid-term. He went to the library. He's going to be there all night.
Kevin: Do you remember what Lucy was wearing?
Ruthie: Something cowboy or cowgirl or cow-woman. I forget. Oh, jeans... she had jeans on. Why do you ask? Is that so you'll recognize her when you see her? Or are you worried about her and you don't want me to know?
Kevin: I'm a little worried, but I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. I'll talk to you later. Let's roll.
Glenoak Community Church
Lucy: I've never actually eaten in the sanctuary before.
Chandler: Well normally we would have talked in the office, but I thought you might be uncomfortable in your father's office. And... this well... this is my favorite place in Glenoak. Inside this church. It's beautiful. I feel at peace here.
Lucy: That's the same way my dad feels.
Camden's House - Backyard
Eric: I quit.
Pool Hall
Annie: Excuse me? Have you seen Lucy and her boyfriend Kevin or... or Simon and his date?
Bartender: Yeah I think they're around here somewhere. I... I know I saw Simon and a good looking blonde.
Annie: I came down here to meet my family.
Guy at bar: Mmmm me too. My family that is. Hey, would you like to dance while we're waiting?
Annie: I couldn't.
Guy at bar: Can you two-step?
Annie: Not really.
Guy at bar: How about a dance lesson? Come on. What you afraid of?
Glenoak Community Church
Lucy: You go first.
Chandler: No, no. You have to go first.
Lucy: Fine. I want to be a minister because... I want to be like my dad. I want to do what he does. I want to be who he is in the community. And I want to serve God. And I want to serve mankind. And I believe that this is my purpose in life. And I was guided to that purpose in a unique way, by the being the daughter of a minister.
Chandler: You know there are some people that would say women shouldn't be ministers.
Lucy: Some women shouldn't. Some should. I should. I know I should. I'm absolutely certain of it.
Chandler: What makes you so absolutely certain?
Lucy: This is work I have vital interest in doing. It challenges me. It makes me feel whole. I love to study religion and history and the Bible and I love talking about religion, history, and the Bible.
Chandler: Who do you talk to about all that?
Lucy: Sometimes I talk to my Dad. Or sometimes other people in class. Or sometimes a perfect stranger if I have the opportunity.
Chandler: What interests you the most about religion and history?
Lucy: That the truth survives both.
Chandler: You're a really smart woman. And you've got a great sense of humor.
Lucy: Thank you. So?
Chandler: I got into this... to make my parents really, really angry. This is the last thing on the earth they want me to do.
Lucy: Why?
Chandler: They're not religious people. They're not even nice people. They're hateful and negative and critical. That's enough about them. I forgot we were talking about me and why I decided to get into this line of work. Well I did start studying religion in college just to annoy them, but uh... then I really became interested in it. So I transferred to Kobel Seminary without telling them. And when they found out they cut me off financially thinking that I would just come back for my degree in business. I don't like business. I don't like numbers. I don't like seeing a page filled with columns and neat little lines. I need things messier than that. I like things where you can't know the answer. Not on paper anyway. So you just have to trust on the unseen and the all powerful to guide you without knowing where you're going. I think the willingness to do that is empowering and awesome in the old sense of the word. And I like words. I'm fascinated with words. Not just in their meaning but in abstract. In there created power that they hold in infinite combinations. I'm not a great speaker. I'm more like a great reader and a mediocre conversationalist.
Lucy: I'd say you're a little bit better than mediocre. So, who do you like to talk to?
Chandler: Any one person. Any more than that and I'm lost.
Lucy: What about church services? Speaking to a crowd from the pulpit?
Chandler: I'm okay as long as I don't get more than one heckler.
Kevin's Car
Roxanne: Kevin I'm not doing this. I'm not wasting my entire night looking for your crazy girlfriend.
Kevin: She may be crazy, but she knows her way to the pool hall.
Roxanne: And chances are she came to the pool hall, saw us dancing and left.
Kevin: Did you see Lucy come to the pool hall?
Roxanne: No, but...
Kevin: But nothing. It isn't like her to be late. And if she did she us then she would have come up to us and said something, because that's how she is. She says what's ever on her mind and doesn't care who's listening. If she saw us and she was jealous, you know and I know she'd be right in our faces. That's how she is. She's very good at communicating her feelings. I know you don't like her. I don't care if you don't like her.
Roxanne: Good. Because I don't. I think she's silly and immature and... You do care that I don't like her.
Kevin: Of course I care.
Roxanne: Well then you shouldn't have said that.
Kevin: Now I know that. So from now on, you should just not share your feelings.
Roxanne: Okay. Just kiss me. Just once.
Kevin: What?
Roxanne: That's all I'm asking. Just one kiss. Come on. It's not like you're officially engaged or anything.
Kevin: I don't have to be officially engaged. I'm in love with Lucy. I don't want to kiss you.
Roxanne: Oh.
Kevin: That didn't sound polite. I don't want to kiss any woman. That didn't sound right either. You know what I mean. Don't be trying to seduce me. You're my partner. My life may depend on you some day. We're not kissing. Not now, not ever, not for any reason.
Roxanne: I just thought that one time wouldn't hurt anything.
Kevin: One kiss can change everything. Everything. Why did you become a cop?
Roxanne: I... I wanted to be a cop since I was a kid. So don't get all confused and think that I'm not good at my work just because I wanted to kiss you. We're not on duty.
Kevin: I just wanted to know. I thought maybe it's time we get to know each other a little better. Maybe if you knew me a little better, you wouldn't have asked me to do stupid stuff like kiss you.
Roxanne: My mom was a witness to a crime. A neighbor nearly beat his wife to death. My dad talked her into identifying him. She came out of the police station and somebody shot her. She died three days later. And even before that my dad was obsessed with his work. Then he became more obsessed with his work. Then I became obsessed with his work. And we never did find out who killed her.
Kevin: I'm really sorry about your mom. Really, really sorry.
Roxanne: That was a long, long time ago. Now will you kiss me? I'm just trying to lighten things up. I still miss my mom. And believe me kissing you is not going to make me miss her any less. Come on, smile. I will never try to kiss you again.
Kevin: Maybe we shouldn't event talk again, either.
Roxanne: No. Maybe you were right. Maybe we should talk more. Why did you become a cop? Your dad was a fire fighter, right? He died in a fire.
Kevin: That's why Ben became a fire fighter. Ben wanted to go after the thing that killed my father. But I don't want to die like that. And I don't want to live like that either. You put out one fire, another one always comes along. You fight the same faceless enemy over and over.
Roxanne: Yeah, but it's kind of the same for us, isn't it? I mean we get one bad guy and another bad guy comes along and then another, and another.
Kevin: I've never found two of them to be exactly the same. Different faces. Different personalities. And you never know who the enemy is. I like that. I just made myself nervous. I hope Lucy's okay.
Roxanne: I'm sure she's fine.
Kevin: You're not always right.
Roxanne: You know I almost got into profiler training, right?
Kevin: What's almost?
Roxanne: Well they didn't accept me, but... they'll reconsider.
Kevin: Until then... you're just an amateur psychic.
Roxanne: Yeah? Well I predict Lucy's going to be fine and one day you're going to kiss me.
Promenade
Cecilia: All the stores are closing. There's no Lucy.
Simon: She's not at home.
Cecilia: Are you worried?
Simon: I'm a little worried. I'm sure Kevin will find her. I'm sorry about having to spend the whole night looking for my sister.
Cecilia: It's okay.
Simon: Can I make it up to you, tomorrow night?
Cecilia: I have to work.
Simon: I didn't know you had a job.
Cecilia: I work for my dad. I make really good money scrubbing toilets.
Simon: Really?
Cecilia: Really and truly. Mopping floors and cleaning sinks too. My dad owns the cleaning service that cleans schools for the county.
Simon: Oh.
Cecilia: I thought you knew. You don't have a problem with my being a night janitor, do you? 'Cause it's honest work. There's nothing wrong with it.
Simon: Well of course there's nothing wrong with it. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it.
Cecilia: You have a job?
Simon: No, I don't have a job. You know I went out of business.
Cecilia: I know the escort service didn't work out. What happened after that?
Simon: After that, nothing. I just went back to collecting my usual allowance, which isn't much.
Cecilia: You still get an allowance? You could get a job, but instead you take an allowance.
Simon: I help out around the house. That's good, honest work too.
Cecilia: I help out around the house. What responsible family member doesn't help out around the house? You get paid to do that?
Simon: I'm going to get a job. I am.
Cecilia: I would hope so.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Peter: Now look Mr. Camden I... I know you told me to go home, but I can't. I think my mom fell asleep and locked the door. She probably thought I was in my room since I left via my window.
Eric: Via?
Peter: By. It was the shortest way to the garage. My science experiment's out there.
Eric: Would you like to go inside and use the phone?
Peter: Yeah, that would work.
Eric: Phone's on the counter.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Kevin: Hello?
Peter: Hello.
Kevin: Who are you?
Peter: Who are you?
Kevin. I live here.
Peter: Peter. I live down the street. Ruthie's dad said I could use the phone.
Camden's House - Hallway
Kevin: There's some kid downstairs named Peter.
Peter: What's he doing?
Kevin: He's using the phone. Is he a friend of yours?
Ruthie: I don't really know him. He was the new guy at the beginning of the school year. He seems okay.
Kevin: No, he doesn't. It's nine o'clock and he's in the kitchen using our phone. He said your dad let him in. Is Lucy here?
Ruthie: Nope.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Peter: Mom? Ma, pick up the phone. It's me, Peter. Peter, your son. I'm in the house. You locked me out. I got to do my homework and go to bed. I got school tomorrow. Mom? Mom, pick up please.
Kevin: You go get your dad. I'll keep an eye on Peter. Where do you live exactly?
Peter: Corner house, end of the street.
Kevin: My partner and I will take you home. I'm a police officer.
Peter: You don't look like a cop.
Kevin: I am. Come on, I'll take you home.
Peter: No, that's okay. It might scare my mom if I just showed up with some stranger, even a cop. I'm fine.
Kevin: You want a sandwich before you go? I was going to make one for myself and my partner.
Peter: Well, if you were going to make one anyway.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Eric: And what are you doing outside?
Ruthie: I came out the front door to avoid the kitchen because Peter's in the kitchen talking to Kevin. We heard him on the phone and it sounds like he's in trouble. So, hurry up. Get in there and do something.
Eric: I think his mom fell asleep and accidentally locked him out of the house.
Ruthie: Does that sound right to you?
Eric: Does that sound right to you?
Ruthie: Dad, it sounds like he's in trouble.
Eric: Well don't panic. I... I'll get someone to help him.
Ruthie: Someone? Why can't you?
Eric: I'm out of the business.
Ruthie: Do you mean you're taking some time off?
Eric: No. I'm quitting.
Ruthie: Quitting what?
Eric: My job.
Ruthie: What are you going to do?
Eric: I don't know. But I'm sure it'll come to me and the possibilities just seem endless, and exciting and energizing.
Ruthie: Okay, but for now there's a twelve year old in our kitchen and Kevin's keeping him there until you could figure out what to do.
Eric: Maybe Kevin can figure out what to do.
Ruthie: Maybe, but Kevin's busy trying to find Lucy. I think they had a fight or something. So, you go help Peter.
Eric: You know... I'm tired of people needing my help.
Ruthie: But... but what about Peter?
Eric: Kevin can probably handle it. And if he can't your mom will be home soon.
Pool Hall
Bartender: You've had a good time Mrs. Camden?
Annie: Sure. I love to dance. It's fun. Of course I'd rather be out with my husband. Somethings wrong with him and... and I don't know what to do.
Bartender: Well didn't he just have open-heart surgery?
Annie: Yes, about a month ago. And I'm afraid they took out a piece of his heart.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Eric: Did you have a good time at the pool hall?
Annie: I would have had a better time if you'd come with me but, I... I danced.
Eric: I was hoping you would. You need to dance and sing and play. We all do. I mean everyone does.
Annie: Yeah. You've had a few rough weeks here, but... but it's going to get better. You know that, don't you? One day soon you'll feel like your old self.
Eric: Mmmmm I don't think so.
Annie: Why not?
Eric: 'Cause I don't want to feel like my old self. I'm getting out of the business.
Annie: You're what?
Eric: I'm getting out. I'm tired and I hurt and... I'm finished with God and church and helping people.
Annie: Are you finished because you thought your heart problems were behind you or... or because there's an associate pastor at the church who you had nothing to do with? Eric, you needed the help. Even if you hadn't had the surgery, you still would have needed the help. And that's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. You've done such a great job of building up that church that it's a little too much for any one man, even you.
Eric: Especially me. I don't know. The God business... is just not working so well for me anymore.
Annie: I'll tell you what's not working anymore. It's this anger, this self pity! It's not working anymore. Chandler is not your enemy. Your doctor, your surgeon, your heart, they're not your enemies. They're gifts. Gifts from God. You're taking lemonade and turning it into lemons! So you have a few challenges ahead of you. Get out there and start working again. Start living again.
Eric: I thought you didn't want me to push myself?
Annie: I don't want you to push yourself, but it's time to start getting back in the game. You know, ask not what God can do for you Eric Camden. Ask what you can do for God.
Eric: Well I knew she'd be upset.
Petrowski's House
Peter: Mom? It's me and my friends, Kevin and Roxanne. Open the door! Ma!!! Finally!
Paris: I don't know who you are, but you better not have done anything to hurt my son or I'll... or... Okay, who are you?
Kevin: I live down the street with the Camdens. Reverend Camden asked me to walk Peter home because Peter was locked out of the house. I'm a police officer. This is my partner. We're off duty.
Peter: Did you say Reverend? I thought he was just a Mr.? I had no place to go. I know Ruthie Camden, so I went down to her house, plus she's really cute and I know she's not allowed to see her boyfriend right now.
Paris: How did you get locked out?
Peter: I was outside in the garage working on my science project and you locked me out.
Roxanne: He's just a little kid. You can't let your problems with drugs or alcohol ruin his life. Get some help.
Paris: I don't have a problem with drugs or alcohol. Where did you get an idea like that?
Kevin: The kid says he's been calling you all night. You wouldn't pick up the phone. We assumed you passed out from something.
Paris: You ever consider I might have passed out from being tired? I'm tired. I wake up at five a.m. I run three miles. I come home. I make breakfast. I make Peter's lunch. And I get dinner prepared so he can put it in the microwave in case I get stuck at the office. I drive him to school. At lunch, I take a yoga class to reduce the stress in my life. And then I work all afternoon. And sometimes until eight or nine or ten o'clock at night at which point I stuff my briefcase with whatever work I wasn't able to finish and I bring it on home with me. Not that I ever get around to working on my work at home, because once I get here I have laundry and ironing and house cleaning and all that other fun stuff. I am a single working mom. I work. That is how we got this house. And that is how we are going to keep this house. And I am going to do whatever I have to to see that my son has the same life he would have had if his father hadn't run up and left us. So you can take your crazy drug and alcohol theories and shove em! Ow!
Peter: That's why you're trying to be super-mom? 'Cause super lazy no good dad left us?
Paris: You knew he was lazy?
Peter: And no good. Parents think we don't notice. I don't need a house. And I can make my own sandwich if I have to. So you can lay off the casseroles. The only thing I need is you. So try not to kill yourself working, okay?
Paris: Okay.
Roxanne: We'll just say good night.
Kevin: Good night.
Paris: Is that guy single?
Peter: I'll find out.
Pool Hall
Lady: Your mom's been down here all night looking for you.
Simon: Did she just say all night?
Cecilia: You better call her.
Bartender: Simon? Hey. Your mom's looking for you and Lucy.
Simon: Well we're all looking for Lucy, but what's my mother doing down here?
Bartender: I think she just wanted to get out of the house.
Kevin: Did you have any luck?
Simon: Nope.
Kevin: Lucy never showed up?
Bartender: Nope.
Kevin: We went by the house, she didn't go back home.
Simon: Anyone check the church?
Kevin: What would she be doing at the church?
Cecilia: I have no idea.
Roxanne: If she did see us dancing and she didn't say anything to us, maybe she needed to talk to someone else. Maybe she's talking to Chandler.
Kevin: Why would she be talking to Chandler?
Roxanne: I don't know. He's a minister. He helps people, doesn't he? Maybe she needed some help.
Kevin: Well if she needed help from a minister, she could go home and get help from her father.
Simon: Look, I don't know even why I said the church.
Cecilia: She probably isn't even there.
Roxanne: Why don't you just go home and wait for her.
Kevin: Because I think I've waited long enough and she better not be talking to that minister instead of talking with me.
Glenoak Community Church
Lucy: Then one time the camera crew came to film my dad, Ruthie stuck a Tic-Tac up her nose. He had to rush down from the pulpit and take her to the emergency room. Ha, ha, ha...
Kevin: I'm glad someone's amused.
Chandler: Hi, Kevin. Uh Lucy and I were just discussing the perils of being in the ministry.
Kevin: For three hours?
Lucy: I'm sorry. I should have called you.
Kevin: Yeah, that would I wouldn't have been out looking for you all night. Especially if I'd known you had been out on a date with another man.
Chandler: Oh, this was not a date.
Kevin: What was it?
Chandler: We were just talking.
Kevin: Looks like you were having a picnic and talking. What else were you doing?
Lucy: Well we weren't dancing and holding each other up close and laughing. We weren't doing that.
Kevin: You saw me dancing with Roxanne at the pool hall? And so you thought you'd get back at me by going out with Chandler?
Lucy: No I didn't think I'd get back at you. And I'm not out with Chandler!
Kevin: Yes, you were out with Chandler.
Chandler: Look, I saw Lucy come out of the pool hall and she was upset. I asked her if she wanted to go somewhere and talk.
Kevin: So she didn't ask you out. You asked her out. I don't care. All I care about is that you two were out together when Lucy was supposed to be out with me. No wait. That's not all I care about. I also care about the fact that you two seem to think that this is all okay, because you're in a church and you're a minister and you want to be a minister. But I've got news for both of you. I'm not buying it. You were angry and jealous, and so you've been out flirting with him. You, saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.
Lucy: Kevin, I'm sorry.
Kevin: Don't! Don't apologize. Don't make up any excuses. If we have problems Lucy, in the future, we work them out together!
Roxanne: Is everything okay?
Pool Hall
Cecilia: That's my dad. I have to go. Dad, this is my friend Simon who is out of work. Simon, this is my dad George.
George: Uh, are you over sixteen?
Simon: Yes, and I'm gonna get a job.
George: Well I can give you a job right now. You ever scrubbed a toilet before?
Simon: Only at home.
George: That's okay. They're all basically the same. You can start tomorrow night.
Cecilia: Thanks.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Ruthie: Peter called and everything's fine. Evidentially his mom's just single and overworked.
Eric: I'm sure he'll be fine. They'll be fine.
Ruthie: Good night.
Eric: Good night.
Ruthie: You don't want to know any of the details?
Eric: Nope, don't need to. Thanks.
Ruthie: If things don't work out with Lucy and Kevin, Peter's mom is interested in him.
Eric: Good to know.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Annie: where have you been?
Ruthie: On the back porch with dad. I think he's going to be fine... in time.
Annie: Well he's had enough time.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Annie: Whether or not you continue doing God's work, you still need your sleep. We're going to bed now, you and me.
Eric: Ta-ta-ta-da-da-dum...
Lucy: You are not...
Eric: You know whatever it is... I can't help you. I can't help anyone. I don't want to help anyone. I quit. I'm going to bed now.
Roxanne: We have to talk. You have to listen to me. That kiss was my fault. Earlier this evening when I was riding around with Kevin looking for you I practically begged him to kiss me and he refused.
Lucy: You what?
Roxanne: I just wanted to see if he would kiss me, just one kiss. And he refused because he's in love with you and he never wants to kiss any other woman again.
Lucy: Yet he did.
Roxanne: But it was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. And he only did it because he completely lost control when he found out you'd been with Chandler all night.
Lucy: Talking not kissing.
Roxanne: Look, listen to me. That kiss was my fault. All my fault. And I'm sorry, I'm really very sorry. But I know Kevin loves you and you know he loves you so if you want to blame anyone for this whole terrible evening, blame me.
Lucy: Believe me I'd like to blame you. But it's not your fault. It's my fault and I accept complete responsibility. Or I did before I heard this. I knew Kevin would be out looking for me when I didn't show up. Yet, I didn't call him. I was almost hoping that he would find me and be jealous. Because I was angry at the two of you and jealous of you. I was really looking forward to going out tonight. And I didn't know you would be at the pool hall and when I saw the two of you dancing I... I just snapped. I feel like I'm always competing with you. Competing and losing. And... you begged him to kiss you?
Roxanne: I was supposed to be on a date. Instead I spent my one night off riding around with Kevin looking for you and listening to how much he loves you. He's a great guy Luce, and he is madly in love with you. Yet, some how you always seem to doubt that. So, I don't know. I... I doubted it too. I wanted to see if I could get anywhere with him. I can't. Because he is truly and madly in love with you.
Lucy: Tell me again why you're here.
Roxanne: Because Kevin's down at the pool hall. He's not going to apologize to you for kissing me, even though we both know he feels like an idiot. So, I'm apologizing to you. Go to him. Make up with him.
Lucy: He did kiss you.
Roxanne: Come on. Don't you minister types preach forgiveness?
Lucy: I'm not a minister yet. I don't preach anything.
Roxanne: Okay. Aren't you a Christian? Don't you believe in forgiving?
Pool Hall
Lucy: Could I have this dance?
Kevin: For the rest of my life. What's really bothering you? That I was dancing with Roxanne or that I was married before... if you can call it that?
Lucy: I can call it that. And thinking of you with anyone else makes me very, very jealous and angry and motivates me to do stupid things.
Kevin: Lucy, I was eighteen. Eighteen when married, eighteen when I divorced, eighteen when I fell out of love with her. I'm not going to let you punish me for a mistake I made seven years before I even met you.
Lucy: I really wasn't trying to punish you for being married or for dancing with Roxanne. It's just that... I want to be the only woman you dance with for the rest of your life. By the way, about tonight... you're forgiven.
Kevin: By the way, you're not.
