On eBay, there are no limits to your high standards. Yeah, eBay. The place for new, pre-loved, vintage and rare fashion. eBay. Things people love.

Oh, hello, everyone. Hi, Joy. Oh, hello. Hi, Joy. Hi, Hillary. I wish we were hanging out in the backyard or doing something fun. I know. Well, this is the second best thing, being able to get to see you face-to-face again. I love when we hang out together. I wish Sophia was here. As everybody knows, Sophia is off having wonderful married moments, and we are...

Holding down the fort while our sisters are away. Like, I love that she is off having romance. Yeah, me too. And just kind of celebrating because we have all certainly been through it together as our characters in this episode. As you and Hayley and Brooke hold each other during these moments of turmoil. We love holding each other up when we get to celebrate good stuff too. So, yeah.

That's friendship. What's this episode about? So we've got, what is it? It's, I don't even know the name of it. Is this the champagne one? I guess so. Again! Okay, so you guys, last week it felt like a standalone episode. We explained what a spec script was. I feel like this one did too. Like, yeah, it totally felt like a bottle episode as well. Did anything advance? The only thing that advanced...

It's maybe Brooke's clothing line. So yeah, let's give them the rundown and then let's talk. Can't wait. All right. It's episode season three, episode seven champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends. Air date, November 16, 2005, 2005. Oh my gosh. It seems so long ago. 2005.

I did too. Synopsis. The draft results are in and everyone goes on a date with their pick. Nathan and Haley double date with Brooke and Chris Keller, which ends in a big mistake. Mouth brings Peyton to a senior home to visit his grandpa Mel and learns a lesson in regret. Rachel and Lucas play basketball, sort of at the river court. Karen and Deb get their revenge on Dan's billboard. Yeah. Paul directed this episode. Um,

Yeah, I think he did the best he could with the material. I thought this was a really boring episode, to be honest. Yeah. I mean, I liked your storyline with mouth. That was interesting to me. I will say that.

Working with Tom Bosley was really cool. That's one of those things you know in the moment. You're like, oh, yeah. Like, this is an icon. Happy Days was a huge deal when I was a kid, even though it was in reruns. And so it feels very meta to have our show live in, like, reruns now, like streaming and have kids be like, oh, we watch your old-timey show the way, like, Tom Bosley came on our show. And we were like, oh, my God, I totally

totally one day we will be Tom Bosley. That's right. But he was it was so great to see him and he was so sweet. Like, I'm sorry, I'm yawning so much, guys. I think I just this was a sleepy episode. A lot of slow music.

Yeah, that's right. A lot of slow music and nothing really advancing the storylines. Everything just kind of like, well, I guess Brooke slept with Chris Keller, but that's the illusion anyway. I think doesn't it come out tomorrow or the next episode that he just like crawled into bed next to her when she fell asleep, I think. All the time. He's such a creep.

Yeah. The whole episode took place at night, but it wasn't like a fun club night at Trick. It was everybody on dates they didn't want to be on, except for Peyton and Mouth. Like, that was, you know, fine. Yeah. Everybody else just kind of seemed disappointed the whole episode. And maybe that's what we're feeling. Maybe we're, like, absorbing the character's disappointment. Yeah.

I know. I know. I think so. Well, but I like the way this episode started with all the like dream sequences. Oh, that was funny. Yeah. We start off with Brooke and Lucas in bed. Fake out. And then it's Lucas and Chris Keller in bed, which is Haley's dream. Fake out. And then Haley crawls into bed with Brooke. And it's a dream. It's Nathan's dream. It's a total fake out. Yeah. That was a fun way to start. Yeah.

Yeah, it was. I liked that. It was very... And then Brooke was, like, so aggressively angry with Rachel again for existing. Have you ever been that mad at someone that you just met? No. I'm trying to think. Have you? Probably. Joy, have I? Come on. I mean, I get annoyed with... Sure, I've definitely been annoyed with people I just met, but not, like...

Openly. Hostile. Angry. Hostile. I try to keep my hostility, you know, buried until I get home and then I have to vent to my poor husband. And I'm like, and another thing. And then she did this. One more thing. No, Brooke is so blatant with her hostility. Is that a youth thing? I'm just trying to think if at any point in my life...

It's been that aggressive. Or if that is just the way that adults script teenage girls. You know what I mean? It's like teenage girls are bitches. Let's make up. No, Sophia was leaning into it. I mean, whatever the lines were, she was like fully leaning into it. And that was great. I mean, I like the choice. I think it's really funny. It's a nice flaw for Brooke to have. Good comedy, but. Yeah. But then again, clearly Rachel is.

Trying to steal her man. So maybe she's just onto it. I don't know, man. Rachel asked so many times, is this your boyfriend? That's true. Is this your boyfriend? Are you going to pick him? And then Brooke sends him to ask her out. And she's like, why is this Brooke girl messing with me? Either she doesn't want me to date this guy or she does want me to date this guy. But now I know I'm a target and I'm going to mess with her back.

Yeah, she makes perfect sense. Well, we've got the fake out in the beginning. Let's talk about suburban filth. The idea of a kid designing clothes in high school is cool. It's a very big deal. Is it realistic? I guess maybe. Like, I remember when this storyline started with Brooke and I was like, she's designing clothes in high school?

This is crazy. And now we've got kids on the internet, like YouTube and I guess not YouTube, but Instagram and stuff like kids who are designing. But I think I'd never heard of such a thing when we were doing this storyline. It was like, what? That was, you know, one of the first jobs I applied for, the first job I ever wanted to do was window dressing.

I wanted to go dress the mannequins in the store, but I wasn't 16. So they wouldn't let me work there. And the other one I wanted to do was fix up classic cars, but I had to be 18 for that. So they wouldn't let me do that one either. Oh my God.

But I really went hard after the window dressing thing. I went to Joyce Leslie. Do you remember that store? No. What is that? Is that a New Jersey thing? Or it's like a, I think it might be a New Jersey or Century 21. Oh, Century 21 for sure. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All the store. I just walked around the neighborhood. I went back to French Connection and Banana Republic and The Gap. And I was like, I just want a window dress. It's all.

That's all I want to do. And they all thought I was super cute, but ignored me.

So sadly- Well, we'll show them joy. I never got to live that dream out. I know. Because I was thinking about going to school to be a fashion designer at one point in my life. Yeah, absolutely. I loved, I had this dress form in my bedroom and it was just a little mannequin, which I named Marianne after my daughter was born and she couldn't say mannequin. So she would always refer to it as the Marianne. Is that your dress on the Marianne?

with her dress form because you were also like there was a point where you made your own lingerie like you made a bra and I was like girl what you made a lot of clothes when we were doing the show love I love sewing I would like to take a real course because I'm I make a lot of Maria's Halloween costumes and I'm I can fix things but I'm not I don't know how to read a pattern I

Or, I mean, maybe you could teach me how to do that. You're great with a sewing machine. Well, I was in Future Homemakers of America, and I was treasurer of Future Homemakers of America, my middle school chapter. In middle school? Yeah. But I also have, like, zero taste joy. So if you bring, like, the fabric selections and, like, what it's going to look like, I'll teach you how to do the mechanical shit. That's super easy. Oh, my God. I would love that.

I love that. That's the thing. I don't know how to use a pattern. So I get like, it's always a little wonky, but I'm like, it's good enough for kids Halloween costumes. So I just kind of, you know, lean into it. Friends, we all.

I think in whatever way, whether we like a little tinted sunscreen or we like a full face beat, like we're all wearing makeup. You guys have probably seen the Thrive Cosmetics Viral Tubing Mascara. I hope you have. You know, that's the one in that turquoise tube that's all over your socials. And my daughter has like six in her bedroom. It's so easy to see why their bestsellers have thousands of five star reviews. I'm not one of those people who can figure out like a lipstick and a liner. I just I just want one thing to stick in my bag.

This is a two-in-one lipstick liner. You can line, define, and fill in one step. It has a built-in sharpener included. It is waterproof, sweatproof, and lasts up to 12 hours while it delivers this, like, really rich, opaque pigmentation. I'm obsessed. It's gorgeous. It glides on tug-free, gives me even color across the lips.

While also giving a bold, non-sticky and velvety finish. Just allow it to set and you're going to get up to 12 hours of hydration and wear.

This actually comes at a perfect moment because, you know, I've had the travel day from hell and I managed to be here. Even when travel is easy, coming home after a vacation or a work trip or even like just a really long day on set is a great way to get back to work.

feels like a breath of fresh air to me. Like to walk in the door, kick off my shoes, immediately flop onto the couch, put my feet up on the coffee table,

It feels like I'm in a cozy little cave and it's all mine. Oh, it's the best. The couch for me is my happy place. And just recently, actually, we were in the market for a new couch, ordered one off Wayfair. We're very excited. It got delivered. You know, it's white glove. They bring it in. They set it up for you. We sat down on it and oh, it was not the couch we had hoped for. It could not have been easier to return the couch. We let them know. People

People showed up, they took it out, and then we found a different couch we liked and we love it. So they make it as easy as possible. I think it really all boils down to the fact that there's just no better feeling than loving your home. And Wayfair makes it easy to create a space where you can relax and unwind no matter the season. I'm relaxing and unwinding indoors because it's a bajillion degrees outside this summer, but that's just me.

It's really just the place to shop for everything from living room seating, even if it takes you a couple of tries, or a perfect bedroom that just helps you cozy up, snuggle in and have sweet dreams.

I think it's no secret to listeners of our podcast that we all love Squarespace over here because our lives are pretty chronically online. And I'm going to tell you, I needed a website and had absolutely no idea how to do it. And Squarespace made it really, really easy for me. And I sort of feel like if, you know, my all over the place creative brain can manage to actually

make a real website all by my lonesome, anybody can do it. Wouldn't you say? Listen, I wouldn't sell yourself short, but it is helpful to know that if you could do it starting from scratch, then maybe there's hope for me when I finally decide to build my own website. I can't wait.

Can we talk about how incredible our skin is? It protects us from the outside world while also being a litmus test for how our body's doing physically and emotionally. Our skin sends us important messages about our lifestyle, nutrition, and about how we feel. It plays such an important role in how we see ourselves and how the world sees us.

So let's shine a spotlight on our skin. Let's go deep into skin health, what it means, what it looks like, and how to have it. Join host Nicole Berry as she unravels the mysteries around our skin on the new series Skin Queries, a podcast brought to you by Ruby Studio from iHeartMedia.

With the help from people with real life stories and experts of all sorts, she gets to the heart of what makes us glow from the inside out. Listen to Skin Queries on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

But yeah, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I used to, I have books and books and books of just sketches. That's all I would do is sit around and sketch outfits and dresses and big gowns and lingerie and all kinds of fun stuff. Um, yeah.

And then I never just, well, I mean, I had to either go to school. I was also like criminal psychologist or a marine biologist or fashion designer. You know, it's kind of the fun part about being in high school, right? What are the other things you wanted to do when you were in high school? Well, I went to school for psychological forensics. I went to Fordham at Lincoln Center because they also have the law school there.

So it's like right by John Jay School of Criminal Justice. I used to go drinking with the boys from John Jay. How many years did you do that? Did you get a degree? No, I went for two full years. And then I transferred to NYU's Gallatin School. And by then MTV was working me so much. I was like, wow. I can't believe I didn't know that. Forensic psychology? The psychology stuff has been very helpful as an actor.

You know what I mean? For sure. Because once you understand how that brain ticks, you're like, oh, all right. I see what you're doing here. Yeah. And that's for yourself, figuring out a character, and also for figuring out the people that you have to work with in the film industry because everyone's batshit. But then the criminology part of it was...

It was really interesting because what I grew up learning in Virginia, you know, with your family being like, watch out for this, watch out for that. It was totally wrong. Like, you know, living in New York City, learning the reality behind like criminology and like how crimes happen, where they happen, who typically commits them. Yeah.

It was a good lesson because I was less afraid. Most stuff is like domestic crime, you know? Yeah. And we deal with some of that on our show, you know? Yeah. Like there's...

There's a little bit of it on our show, but anytime it's like a total stranger committing a crime on a TV show or movie, I'm like, that doesn't happen. It's always the husband. That's interesting. Knowledge is power, man. I didn't ever think about that in the context of understanding crime, but...

That's true. Apparently that's really serving you still because you're doing your show. This couldn't happen here? It's called It Couldn't Happen Here. Yeah, I mean... It Couldn't Happen Here. Look, when we lived in Wilmington, I was fixated on crimes that were happening on local news. The house next door to mine was getting renovated and the guys working on it found bones in the backyard. Yeah.

And they didn't call the police. They were like, hey, lady, come over here and look at this. You know? Come get your bones. I'm like, oh, you guys should probably call somebody. Yeah, I was always into it. And, you know, you always want to do more than just...

what you're doing. I think we all feel that way. We always wanted to be more than what we were at the moment. So yeah, I feel like Sophia really leaned into this fashion storyline while we were in it because she, I mean, she was going to fashion shows. She was making friends with designers. She was really educating herself about it in a way that was kind of intimidating for me. I was like, what are you wearing? I don't know how to say that word.

Me too. Sophia was also spending all of her money on boxes and boxes of clothes that would just like these giant boxes would always arrive and appear at her trailer and just loading them all in every day, one right after the other. Because she was very, she was, she was educating herself on that world. And of course, now she owns a company, Fashion Kind, with a friend of hers, and they are selling incredible, like sustainable fashion and

It's awesome. Listen, I don't know anything about fashion, but what I do know is I fall down the rabbit hole of her website and I'm just like, this is gorgeous. I need 10 of them. Oh, yeah. Me too. I know. The curation is impeccable. Yeah. George likes fashion. Are you wearing your Sonic clothes right now?

Yeah, she's going through a big Sonic the Hedgehog fashion phase. I love kids' fashion. That's my favorite, is when kids, you just let them do whatever they want. It's so fun. Because Maria used to come... I remember one time I told her we were going to church, and she didn't want to go. And I was going to take her to like a really, like a Catholic mass. Formal. Yeah, I mean, formal enough that, you know, you dress nice. And I said, I think she was probably...

Yep. She was six or seven at this time. And I said, okay, we're going to go to church. She didn't want to go to church. And I was like, honey, we're going. I want to go to this. So get dressed. You have five minutes. And I turned over my little sand. What are they called? Hourglass timer. You have an hourglass for your daughter? I have multiple hourglasses. We have a half hour, a 15 minute, a 10 minute and a five minute. So it's great for kids' brains because they can see the time running out. Oh.

It's on a digital clock. It's just numbers counting down. It's not your brain. I mean, my kid's brain is not as easily adaptable to that as to hourglass. Anyway, so I set the timer for her.

And she comes out in a leopard miniskirt with like leg warmers and sparkle shoes and a tank top. Oh, no, no. It was a leotard, tank top leotard underneath it with a glitter, a big glitter vest and, you know, and sunglasses and a big sequin band in her hair. And she was like...

This is how I feel like wearing what I wear. This is what I feel like wearing to church. Jesus is going to see me today. That's right. I love kids fashion. Anyway, how did we get there? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Clothes over bros. That's what's coming because of this. I think because her idea gets stolen. Suburban filth. I do like that name. Yeah, I mean, it's so it's so late 90s, early 2000s. Like I'm from the suburbs, but I'm also very edgy.

It sounds like the name of a department store on a TV show is what it sounds like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's definitely at the mall. Favorite line of the episode. Haley is all upset about the houses being built where her marriage spot was. And in all seriousness, like Haley's tearing up. Brooke looks over and goes, let's just go to the mall. Okay.

It's okay. It's okay, honey. Let's just go to the mall. That was... You said it. It's the most teenage line I've ever heard. It's so teenage. The next time something bad is happening in one of our lives, like the next time I call you and I'm like, hey, my dog died. I just need you to say, babe, let's just... It's okay. Let's just go to the mall.

Oh God. Another t-shirt. I hope somebody's marking down all these t-shirt requests. We just need to have a streamlined, uh, like an assembly line of all these t-shirts. It's genius. You know what she didn't say with a straight face when Chris Keller shows up at the apartment and she's just gone on this rant about like, I will never hang out with Chris. And then she opens the door. Keller. Oh,

And he goes off on his whole little rant and then breezes past her. Y'all better go back and watch that because Sophia, for the life of her, cannot keep her nostrils from flaring and that little grin from sneaking in. That's so good. That was the Jerry Seinfeld moment. Yeah, she's just like, I can't with this one. Couldn't stop her from laughing. It's hard not to laugh when Tyler's doing his thing. He's so committed to it. Yeah. He's so committed and...

I loved working with him for that reason because he could say the craziest stuff and somehow he kept a straight face. I'm terrible at that. I think it's why I really can't do improv because... Did you do improv growing up? I did a little bit, but not a lot. I really struggle with improv. I prefer to have lines. Please, someone write this down. I'm just not like a...

I don't know. I don't consider myself a super quick-witted person in conversation and stuff. I'm more of an— Having been drinking with you recently, you are wrong. You're very quick. Very quick. Well, thanks. But I know what you're saying because I saw in myself in this episode, little Hillary can do the, like, serious stuff. Like, I've got this birth mother that's got cancer and I don't know. Yeah.

But me having to like be light and breezy and like, hey, mouth, let's go cards. Hey, haha. I'm not a good fake laugher. I am not good at. I just see through it. Oh, no. I believed every second of it. I thought you were having a ball and I was like, oh, it's so nice to see Peyton laughing and happy. And I thought you were great.

You really were like, I'm faking it. Were you miserable that day? Do you remember? No, no. Riding the go-karts was fun and Tom Bosley's fun, but like the stuff on the quad and... Oh, that was rough. And like the lead up to it where it's all like a little expository.

Yeah. We're just like trying to explain what are we going to do? Why we're about to have this episode. Yeah. What are we doing now? I can always tell that anytime I have to be lighthearted Peyton, there's a little bit of a can't I just be growly about something? It's so much. Why? Why is that? I don't know.

Maybe because Peyton had to cry for the whole first two years that now in year three, they're like, yeah, yeah, go be a kid. I'm just like, but... That's so used to crying. Weird. Yeah, I can laugh as other characters. I just struggle with Peyton being like giggly. Yuck. It was nice to see...

Nathan softening up. I mean, I still cringe. Haley's just trying so hard. And it's cringey. It's cringey. And the stuff he says when he's like, Haley, I know where we got married. I know what our history is. Like, let it go. Let's just be in the present. Ugh. I felt that. That was uncomfortable. So brutal. So brutal. She's a kid. She doesn't know how to deal with this or go through this or...

But I'm glad that he kind of threw her a line at the end to let her know that he still loves her with the flower that looked freshly picked but clearly had been in his pocket all day. Why do we fixate on that shit? Why do we do that, Joy? At the same time, we're both like, that hasn't been in his pocket for two hours. That's...

Because you and I both have picked flowers and put them in our pockets and then taken them out at the end of the day. Sometimes I take my bra off and I'm like, what's that doing in there? Whatever. Nipples and flowers.

No, what did he say? He said he wrote down his own prediction, right? And Haley's like, how do you know I'm not going to go, you know, take a sneak at this? He's like, I guess I'll just have to trust you, which is basically his way of signaling like, I'm trusting you.

You know, we're going to use her more opportunities. Flowers a metaphor. But yeah, I was kind of hoping they would show you looking at it. I know. No, no, no. I don't. I understood that. I like I really respected and trusted that. Yeah.

moment emotionally with them. I thought that was really beautiful and it felt good watching it to know that he was telling her it's, it's not all gone. It's not hopeless. It's just taking time because that in and of itself is such a huge sign. Good sign. Hopeful. Yeah. Yeah. Of like the roots aren't gone. I loved that.

Yeah. What was it like? Cause you guys had so much stuff just by yourselves. Um, you're on the rooftop, you're out on the balcony, you know, like there's a lot of stuff where you guys are just off by yourself. I don't know how you prep for that. Cause your stuff was always so like serious. Did you guys sit around and talk in between scenes or did you kind of go into your bubbles so that you would be super focused when they yelled action? Yeah.

I think we talked some, I mean, James is always reading some classic novel that he was catching up on, like the old man in the sea or the great Gatsby or whatever he was reading. He was always reading one of those. Oh, I think we just were really, it was easy. It was so, you know, we've had been working together so closely for so long that it's, it was always pretty easy. Um,

I don't know that we've really spent a lot of time chit-chatting. I don't think James and I are, either of us are very chit-chatty people. I think we tend to go for the meat and potatoes of meaningful conversation. You both are like, tell me what you think about God.

Yeah. How do you feel about politics? Let's get to the serious business here. I think James is actually really uncomfortable with those conversations with, but he also doesn't really like small talk. Yeah. So, but he

But I think he likes those conversations when he's super, super comfortable. I just don't know that on set feels like the right place to dive into those spaces for him. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I'm talking out of my ass. We should have James on and actually ask him ourselves. Yeah, but you're right. He was always trying to educate himself. Yes. Which I...

I liked watching. Does that sound creepy? No, it was inspiring. Yeah. Yeah. Kid always would just go back to his chair and start reading a book and be hyper-focused on that and then be able to flip the switch and be hyper-focused in the scene. But I was always only working with him when there were like a lot of people around. So I didn't know if that was just a crowd thing or if that was always...

No, I think that's just his way. It's just kind of quiet and reserved. And then when he's off work and relaxed and around his friends, he lets his guard down, which is a lovely quality for a professional, for an actor, to be able to not have your extroverted self in everybody else's space or in a work environment, not getting caught up in the drama. It's a great quality.

That's been my life lesson. Like once I left Tree Hill and I would go work with grownups on other things, I'd go home and be like, oh my God, I talk too much. Oh my God, what did I say? I feel the same way. I'm always walking away from conversations like, God, I'm so annoying. Oh, why did I say that? Why did I do that? And Haley does that this whole episode. She's just like, why did I even think anything awesome was going to happen? God, I dressed up. Self-flagellation. Just brutal.

It's brutal. Well, and to have Chris Keller there as your audience while you're feeling like a nerd. Yeah.

Can we talk about how incredible our skin is? It protects us from the outside world while also being a litmus test for how our body's doing physically and emotionally. Our skin sends us important messages about our lifestyle, nutrition, and about how we feel. It plays such an important role in how we see ourselves and how the world sees us.

So let's shine a spotlight on our skin. Let's go deep into skin health, what it means, what it looks like, and how to have it. Join host Nicole Berry as she unravels the mysteries around our skin on the new series, Skin Queries, a podcast brought to you by Ruby Studio from iHeartMedia.

Exercise is pretty much a non-negotiable. And getting into therapy once or twice a month.

It's sort of become a non-negotiable in the last couple of years for me. You know, the same way that when I wanted to start getting in shape for the first time, I hired a personal trainer to show me the ropes of the gym and teach me how to not hurt myself while also getting stronger and

I realized if I wanted to grow emotionally that why not hire a therapist, a professional, someone with experience who can sort of guide the journey rather than just reading a self-help book by myself. And I have found it to be an invaluable experience.

resource for me. I feel that too. Yeah, I agree. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

Being in the swing of summer, I know you will understand where I'm going with this because the swing of summer makes me feel very nostalgic for treats. Like I think about when it's like hot, I think about making my own ice pops in the kitchen.

You know, putting like OJ in little freezer things or what it would feel like to cut into a watermelon when you'd run inside and it was like 100 degrees out and you had cold fruit. I don't know. Does it make you feel snacky? The summer heat? Oh, yeah. I mean, when I think summer heat hit me with one of those rocket pops.

Or a creamsicle. You know, when the ice cream truck rolled by, it was, let's get out there and grab some cold treats. Stapped. Yeah, I think what I've realized, sadly, as an adult, is that mostly when I wanted a cold treat, I probably just needed to drink water. I think I'm learning because, you know, summer is heating up, as it does every year. And the thing that gives me my hydration fix and my treat is...

is Liquid IV because they have all these nostalgic summer flavors that hit the market this summer, like their sugar-free Rainbow Sherbert. It has taken me back to childhood in the best way, and I actually feel like I'm doing something good for myself when I drink it. And listen to some of these flavors they have.

Do you know what I noticed in this episode a little bit? Is that Tim and Chris Keller are two wings on the same bird.

Like, we... Because Tim at the beginning of the episode is all like, boy draft, who picked me? What's going on, ladies? Where's our dates? You know, and is so... Oh, yeah, then he just disappears. Misogynistic and kind of like a dork. And then Chris Keller is also super misogynistic and a dork. He's just already graduated high school and a little bit older than us. Yeah. Do we ever get scenes with the two of them? That might have made people's head explode. That might. That's a lot of...

dumb and cheek in the same. Like, I feel like they're the divorced dads now. It's a lot of kitsch in one space. Yeah. They're the dads at the playground on Sundays with the kids. This is my weekend. Okay. Oh, God. Right?

We're friends with those guys. How about Skills and Bevan? How fun was that? Well, how fun is this Easter egg of the notebook? Tell them why it's fun, Joy. Tell them. Oh, it's so fun. Well, A, because Cullen Moss was in the notebook. So that was kind of a fun little extra thing. But it was shot in Charleston near us.

So we had a lot of our crew and cast that were, you know, back and forth on that movie. Also because the director of this episode, Mr. Paul Johansson, was in The Notebook as Allie's mom's old boyfriend who she didn't end up with, which is why she's trying to convince her daughter not to marry the poor boy.

Of course, we know she's going to end up. They were being so snobby just driving by that manual labor camp wherever Paul was working. I thought, by the way, he looked hot. Like he was all sweaty and strong. Do better, Joan Allen. And then it's also fun because for those of you who don't know this out there, I was super, super, super moved by this film when I saw it.

I kind of couldn't get up and leave the theater for about 15 minutes after it was over. I was just weeping into my shirt. And so I ended up writing a musical for stage on spec for,

Of the notebook. And I wrote it. It took me like four years. And at the end of four years, I sent it to Nicholas Sparks and he let me produce a staged version of the notebook, my musical in Wilmington. So that was really, really fun. And I was just so grateful. It was the second musical I'd ever written. Yeah.

And we got to cast it and we performed it at Thalian Hall. It was...

One of the most amazing experiences of my life. I, to be able to work with, I kind of co-directed, we had Judy Greenhut, who was a wonderful theater director from New York. And, and so she was our director and I was just there every day and talking everybody through all the parts and the songs. And, and I wrote the music with Ron and yellow, who is now Bruce Springsteen's producer. He's done his last, like, I don't know, five, five to eight albums, I think.

And yeah, actually, I have a SoundCloud link. You do? Should I play one of the songs right now from the notebook? Me thinks we shall. I think we should. Okay, hold on. Let me share my screen.

Joy, this is like a fun twist of events I wasn't even expecting. You know what? Yeah, let's do it, though. Let's do it. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, listen. Here's kind of what would be like the big pop song of the episode. Let's see if we can hear it. Yeah, I can hear it. Yeah. Breathe in, breathe out. Standing but on my knees. Breathe in, breathe out. Speaking but my heart sings. We're one.

Just got some goosebump joy!

Let's produce this again! There's like a very Faith Hill...

Like Shania Twain feel to this. Like, just like country icon, female queen. We're going guns blazing, bring that devil to his knees.

I mean, it's super musical theater. I can feel the light again. Every touch, every love. Every storm, every whisper. And when I'm back, but you're here. Would wait a thousand years or more.

I would stand beside you as we darken death's door. We go in caves and bring the devil to his knees. Oh, there's some strange power. There's some strange power. It's so fun to hear this stuff. I haven't listened to these in years.

This is the only place we can hear this right now, right? It is actually. Yes. I feel spoiled. Oh, that was so fun. So who is your dream Noah? Oh my gosh. For Broadway. I mean, Taron Egerton, right? Like how could you not have Taron Egerton playing Noah? He's the best. Or maybe somebody new. Are you going to discover the next big thing?

Could do. Okay, here's something else that's kind of fun. Alison Munn, who is also a remarkable singer, she leads this song, Number Seven. This is like one of the nightclub songs when they're all in the nightclub and like doing a big swing dance on stage and all the soldiers and the...

The soldiers are on one side of the stage and go, Finn is there and Noah, and they've just enlisted in the army. And on the other side of the stage is the nightclub and Allie is meeting Lon and his parents. And so it's like two things happening on stage at the same time. So here's a little bit of, of Alison Munn singing for our notebook soundtrack.

All right, so it's number seven, Hold My Heart. ♪ Hold my heart and don't let go for you know very well ♪ ♪ You have caught me in your web ♪ ♪ You've got me under your spell ♪ ♪ I don't, I don't know who I am when you touch me ♪ ♪ Don't you understand your kiss or the brush of your hand ♪ ♪ Makes me lose my equilibrium ♪ ♪ I get so distracted, my dear ♪ ♪ When you're whispering in my ear ♪ ♪ For you know very well ♪

You've got me under your spell. So long, ladies, so long. We're off to life. That's good. That's enough. I love it.

So cute. Joy, maybe this is what we go back and do in Wilmington. Do we need to contact Thalion Hall and be like, hello, friends, we're doing a reunion tour? Wouldn't that be fun? I would love to. Sadly, the rights actually don't belong to me anymore. Somebody else swooped them up during a, there was a long stretch where the,

Warner Brothers held the rights to the film and I held the rights to the book. And so there was a lot of stuff in the movie that wasn't in the book that you would want to have on stage. And there was just like so much, you know, once lawyers get involved, it all just falls apart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So unfortunately...

Somebody else has the rights. I think Kevin McCollum, who's a wonderful Broadway producer, has taken that over and Ingrid Michaelson is writing some new music for the show that they're going to do their own version of it in Chicago, I think maybe this fall. Oh, yeah.

Um, so, you know, it's cool to see that my idea is still living on and having a life of its own. It's a heartbreak for sure. I mean, I spent like five years of my blood, sweat and tears pouring into that story. And the fact that, um,

We had amazing, like really seasoned Broadway producers who were ready. They came down to Wilmington and saw the show. They saw our local cast and they loved the show. And it wasn't perfect. It's a little long. Some of the songs needed to be changed. We needed a few more pop songs, but whatever. Like the bones were all really there and they loved it. They were ready to do it. They were like, let's get this off the ground. And unfortunately, the people who were in charge of producing

holding the property, making the decision about who was going to take on the mantle of the name of the notebook, which was epic at the time. I mean, it still is. They never saw my show. They didn't listen to the music. I think they were just afraid that I was like 23 and now it's cool to be 23 and writing a Broadway show. But back then it was just terrifying and everybody thought,

you know, she's never done anything. The notebook is a huge name and she's not. Ron obviously now is producing for Springsteen and winning Grammys, but back then wasn't. And so we just didn't have the street cred that I think the powers that be wanted whoever took over the notebook to have. And so they just never listened to the music, never read the script, never heard the show and just passed it on to somebody else. And that sucked. It was really hard. Yeah.

But I did learn a couple of things. One of them is that I have to stand up for myself more because I, I tried, I really tried to get them to listen to it and to, and to read it, but I didn't try hard enough. I could have done more. I was just too afraid. And,

I've learned that lesson since then that you just, if you believe in something and if it's, and if it's coming from you and it's, you're passionate about it, it's your art. Like nobody else is going to fight for you the way that you will. You have to go after it. And so that was really valuable. And then also learning that, um, I have good ideas. You know, I created that. I did it. I went for it. Um, it's in somebody else's hands now, but I got that ball rolling. That was my idea. And, uh,

So to have the confidence that in the next thing that I create and do to know that my ideas are good and they sell and they'll work. That was good, you know? So anyway, it's just cool to see that that is living on and having a life of its own. It's kind of cool. Well, did you, so when you saw this movie though, cause I remember having also a very big reaction to this movie. Did you ever book anyone? Oh, yeah.

I don't think I did. That's not what I heard. That's not what I heard. What? Oh my gosh, what is this rumor? Tell me. I heard you made Tyler watch The Notebook and it affected him. That's actually totally probably true. I don't remember, but that sounds about right. I think you made him watch it while you guys were out on tour. Oh yeah, maybe when we were on tour. He was like, she's so deep, man. She's so deep. Maybe...

Oh, yeah. I mean, I never did it like Bevan did it. But the truth is I was ready to force anyone to watch this movie because it changed my life. Those two hours changed my life. It reminded me in a time when I was honestly pretty hopeless about love. And I'd basically given up on the idea of that overwhelming, all-consuming love.

love you no matter what, self-sacrificial, even when it's hard kind of love. And when I saw this film and then read the book immediately after, something was unlocked inside of me that was just this flood of passion and hope. And it didn't stop. It was like reawakening those young dreams that we had in high school. I mean, didn't you ever have that boy, that boy that when you were younger, like

just evoked all of those dreams and feelings in you? So in real life, in real life, when I wasn't working, I would just go drive around in rural, rural North Carolina and go find like old abandoned houses and things. And there was someone in town. I was in a relationship. So this other person and I were never going to work out ever.

But it was very like, I love your art. I am attracted to your essence. Your spirit is so, so impressive. Yes. And we decided upon this like abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. And he was like, I'm either going to fix it up or I'm going to burn it down. Wow. And so for years, sometimes I would just like drive past it and be like, okay, well, he hasn't burned it down. Wow.

I guess we're still good. But it was a very... It was such a rip-off from this movie. What? It was just like... Yeah, we're gonna... Living your own story. We're gonna fix up the old house and have this sordid Carolinian romance. Um...

God, being a kid is fun. Oh, fun. Yeah. Man, Southern romances are just unbeatable to me. I think there's something so sweet about it. You've got the Spanish moss hanging off the trees and the hot air and the fireflies at night and the docks in the water. The warm rain. And the small town feel. There's just nothing as romantic to me as the South. Never will be. Yeah.

You've heard Hillary say, we're science fair kids. We love research. We love hacking our health. And for me in particular, I love,

I noticed that when I'm really good about my supplements, I have so much more energy. I focus better. I get better sleep. So I'm committed. Everyone around me can tell when I've been taking my supplements. I'm a much more pleasant person to be around. And so these are formulated with high quality ingredients. Symbiotica is transparent about how and where they source ingredients to ensure that you get the best products possible.

And their formulas do not have any seed oils, preservatives, toxins, artificial additives, or quote, natural flavors. I mean, most supplements have that weird chalky taste or it's like sulfuric and it lingers for a while. I hate that. And so it's really...

It's hard to find a supplement that has premium ingredients but still tastes great. That's why we like it. Symbiotica has transformed our lives, and I am so glad we've found a brand that actually cares about us, its customers. I know I can finally see a difference in how I function and feel, and I actually look forward to taking my supplements every day.

Well, Haley says in this episode, she goes, I'm just wishing it would rain.

You know, as a nod. I'm praying for rain. Yeah. To that first kiss. See, there you go. First kiss in the rain. That was kind of notebook-y. Come on. It was.

I love that Bevan did that to skills. It was really cute. I loved watching Antoine and her have such great chemistry in this episode. I thought they were both outstanding. And, you know, I can't believe we got the rights to the notebook for our show. Nicholas Sparks, like, brought his son to set, right? Didn't he bring his kids? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We felt real cool. We'd arrived. We had no idea people watched our show because we were in North Carolina. So when, you know, a celebrity writer comes to set, we're like, oh.

Oh, we were very excited about that. Yeah. Yes. Nicholas Sparks was the most popular author on the planet in that moment because the notebook had like catapulted him. And so when he came to set, we were all just in awe that he or his kids were even remotely interested in us. And I can tell you through inventing the musical, I became really good friends with Nick and he's actually such a smart person.

deeply kind hearted person. And one of the things I think is really cool about him is that he's so curious. He is such a curious person. And I love that because I don't know, I feel like we're living in a time right now where curiosity has been pushed aside in favor of, um, I guess everybody's sort of looking out for themselves, like making sure that, uh, no one is offending them. And,

making sure that everybody's doing everything right. This sort of like mental policing has taken over. And I miss the days of curiosity when you really were interested in why another person thought the way that they thought or function the way that they function because so much great art comes from listening and just being curious. And I think it's absolutely integral to being an artist and especially a writer because

So anyway, I just wanted to mention that. But one thing that we haven't talked about yet is Rachel. Can we talk about Rachel? Let's talk about the Rachel of it all because...

And we have to talk about Barbara and Moira too. Oh, that's right. That's right. Rachel is all of us in this moment because she says, do you really think there's one person in this world who's right for you? You're in high school. You also said the same thing about Peyton, you know, like really do one person in the whole world. I appreciate her skepticism.

Yeah, I do too. I think she's really smart. I mean, and I liked what Danielle had to say in our last episode about how she played Rachel as somebody who's been from school to school and has a very bird's eye view of the high school experience, which is unusual for someone in high school. And I think that's a really valuable perspective that Rachel offered, even though she's still messy like we all are and still trying to figure out some of her own things. Yeah.

That was a pretty smart thing to say. I think she was right. She also says she's like, seriously, what is with this school? Every single boy is in some traumatic puppy dog love thing. She's like, isn't anyone DTF? What is wrong here? Who does she have to choose from? Tim? Yeah, who else is even available? I don't know. Mouth, mouth.

Lenore's had the other really good line. It was kind of an iconic line that I have heard fans bring up. He said, I say give me regret as long as I can keep the good memories too. Oh, yes. Yeah. You know, Alzheimer's really was a theme in this episode, wasn't it? With the notebook and then with the...

His grandfather. Joy, can I just tell you that I did not make that connection until you just said it right now? Oh, no. I'm like, wait, what? Oh, oh, double whammy. That's it. That's why it works so much. I appreciate you, sister. Thank you for carrying me across that finish line. No problem. Anytime. We'll get there. But yeah, it's... I love that line. You know, this may be... Maybe the theme of this episode is memories because...

Because Haley's memories are being physically erased and Mel's memories are gone. And the memories in the notebook are a theme. And now Karen has the memory of her ex-boyfriend looming over her in this great big giant billboard. And she has to decide what she's going to do with that. She's going to stoop to his level or rise above it. Yep. I don't know.

I mean, when's the last time you did some vandalism? Yeah, I think she should have just committed to it. Same. Just stuck with it. I mean, whatever. Pulling it back and having the billboard for erectile dysfunction was also pretty good luck. That was good luck. Yeah, it could have been anything. It could have been insurance under there. Yeah, a little frog. Yeah. Could have been anything. But no, no, they pulled back the...

They pulled back all their artwork. It's too bad. I think they should have committed to it. But it was certainly fun watching them get into trouble. I remember Barbara finding out that she was going to have to be in her underwear. And it was like she worked out really hard. She was like so committed to making sure she looked amazing. She looked awesome. And she did. Yeah, she absolutely did. It paid off.

Yeah, Barbara looks like a teenager. Well, we were saying they both looked like teenagers when they were just sitting on the ledge of the billboard. Yes. And like Moira's hair and a little ponytail. She's so cute. It's, you know, watching the show as an adult is so different because they're younger than us there, right? Aren't they? Like, they're younger than us there. And they're having to play these grown-ups. And you realize that all the grown-ups are faking it.

I, as a grown-up, I'm faking it. You're faking grown-upness? Yeah. Adulthood? You know I'm a nightmare. I am too. No way. I think you're a nightmare. Yeah, if you were going to spray paint a billboard, I don't know what could make me get on a billboard. What would bother me so much that I had to tag that? Also, that can of spray paint was like the weakest can of spray paint I've ever seen in my life.

It was so small. How are they going to get up there with one? Yeah, you said it looked like bug spray. It looked like mace or bug spray. Shoe polish. Like black shoe polish. Yeah, I don't know. But I love that also we've never seen any billboard ever in Tree Hill and suddenly we have a billboard. That's kind of funny. Leave it to Dan. Leave it to Dan. Well, we didn't see because he was directing. Yeah, what do we got? That's true. Should we spin a wheel? Yeah, I want to spin a wheel. Most likely to...

Well, most likely to run away and join the circus. The circus. Like acrobatics? Like Cirque du Soleil, maybe? Just like bail on life and be like, guys, I'm out. I'm going to go to the circus. I think that would be fun. Who is an adult that doesn't have any responsibilities that could do that, though? I feel like we have friends that have done this kind of stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I have friends who've done that. Weren't you doing like an acrobatics course, like a silk acrobat? Like who has done that? Oh, yeah, I do. That's like one of my pastimes that I enjoy is aerial silks.

Yeah, Joy, it's you. But I'm not like, I have responsibilities. I can't like run away and join the circus. I mean, I guess we are in the circus, right? That's what we do for a living. I literally texted. So it's Gus. Gus has sixth grade exams this week. And I'm on a text thread with all the other parents. And they're freaking out because the history exam is worth a huge chunk of the grade. And they're like, you know, very stressed out about this. And I literally said, yeah.

Well, my husband and I are dropouts, and we don't care about tests. So if any of your children would like to run away and join the circus with the Morgans, we have open arms. Yes! I mean, that's our industry. We are the circus. It will accept any freak that wants to come play. Yeah. That's how I feel. This is an all-of-the-above answer. I think so. I don't know who from the show, what character would run away. I guess Chris Keller. Yes.

That's he's most likely to for sure. Yeah. Or if or is it someone with like a secret life? Like, is there something we don't know about junk? Is junk like really good with big cats? Like maybe he's got some Siegfried and Roy energy. Gigi feels like a wild card to sweet Kelsey as well.

Hey, Elise wants to know, why is every room in Tree Hill painted red? Is it? Except Lucas's room and the five minutes that Peyton painted hers. There must be a technical reason for that. Why so many red walls? Are there? I've never noticed that. In all these years, I never noticed that.

No, I wish I had an answer for that question. I'd sadly do not. But now we'll have to... Yeah, it's going to be like the lamps. I don't think it is a technical question. I think maybe it's just like a color scheme thing.

Theme, perhaps? Well, so if you guys notice, I know some people ask questions about like hair color sometimes. There's definitely a filter on our show. They were using kind of a warm orange filter to make everything seem really like homey and, you know,

It's crazy what the eye can do. It helps tell a story. And so if it's got that warm hue to it, the audience automatically feels warmer. So having colors that work well with that filter is important. That's true. I don't know that green is going to show up great with an orange filter. You know what I mean? But a rich amber. Yeah.

A beautiful red velvet. That is such a funny thing for someone to have noticed. I guess maybe an interior designer. Maybe, Elise, are you? It's going to be like the lamps, Joy. Now that we've heard it, we're going to see them everywhere. We'll never see anything else, I'm sure.

Well, you know, since I never get to play this music for anybody, why don't I like we can say goodbye and then I can just sort of leave a few songs at the end for people. I love that idea. Let's just play three of them. So guys, I'll play for you. This one of them is called A Sweet Country Home. This is when Noah and Allie or characters inspired by Noah and Allie. I don't know if I have to say that for like.

Legal reasons? I don't know. These are just two lovebirds singing. These are just two southern lovebirds. And they're in a house and the house is all dilapidated and falling apart, but they're dreaming about what it would be like if they lived together in this home and built it up. And then I'll also play you something called The Colors Play, which was inspired by a scene when...

The two of them are walking down a street. They're just meeting. It's their first date late at night and he's really trying to win her over and she's talking about all the things that she has to do and all her responsibilities. And then he's just like, what do you love? Tell me what you love. And then she sings about what she really loves to do, which is to paint. And then the last one I'll play for you is something about when they're getting torn apart. And in my version, she goes away with her family on the train. And so Noah...

inspired by Noah from The Notebook. He sings Paul Teal, who is later on our show as... I directed him in his first episode on our show as one of the movie stars in the movie that was made about Peyton and Lucas' romance. Remember based off of Lucas' book? Yeah, doesn't he play like Lucas or something?

I'd have played Lucas. Yeah, I forgot. You know me and my memory. I forgot. Paul Teal was a really wonderful improv actor in Wilmington. He was part of the improv troupe at level five and joined when he was in high school. He was a baby that got to play with the big kids. So I love that he did your show. Really?

really talented guy. And so this is really his song, which incidentally for fans of the music tour that I went on with Tyler and Michelle branch, this is a song that I actually sang a lot on tour and incorporated it into my, my, um, fan version of the notebook, um,

Is that like the fan, the unofficial Bridgerton? Is that kind of what we're doing? It's fanfic. Fine. I love it. I'm also going to add in a couple more songs since it's the only place that any of y'all can hear this music. Um,

of me is the song that is played after that song that you heard Alison Munn sing in the nightclub where now the soldiers are really going to war. And so there's a character I think I invented. I don't think she's in the book. Maxie, who is one of Ali's best friends and incidentally has a romance with Finn and

And she is singing in the nightclub. She's like the nightclub singer. And she's Gus's... I think I made her Gus's daughter. And Gus is in the novel. And he's an older black man who is Noah's father's best friend. It's complicated. Anyway, Maxie sings this song, Think of Me.

in the nightclub. So one side of the stage, the nightclub is all slow dancing and it's all silk and soldiers and beautiful. And this very sad song on the other side of the stage is General Patton and Finn and the soldiers at war. And so that's all happening at the same time. And I would like to say, if you've seen the London production of From Here to Eternity,

They actually do this on stage, which is so funny because I wrote this like six or seven years before that came out. It always made me wonder if one of the producers that saw our show thought it was a good idea and then passed on the word. Yeah.

But, or maybe it was just a good idea and somebody else had it too. But it's an interesting device that I had never seen on stage before. And so it's kind of fun. So you'll hear that. You'll hear Psalm 148, which is meant to be sung by Gus at Frank, Noah's father's funeral. And Through the Storm is the last one you'll hear. Through the Storm is a song for the older couple inspired by Noah and Allie as they walk through her journey with Alzheimer's.

So there you go. Thanks. Thanks so much. You guys for joining us for this really weird episode. Okay. Yeah.

I hear you rented the old McCreary place. Yep. Well, where do you live the rest of the year? In Charleston. It's not too far away. Although now Mama and Daddy and I have begun to look at colleges. I like the idea of Sierra Lawrence, but it's all the way in New York, and I just don't know if I'm ready to leave Carolina altogether. I suppose I'll have to decide soon, though. I only got the rest of this year. Well, what are you like?

Well, what do you mean? Well, I mean, it seems like even when you're out having fun, you're worried that you're having too much fun, and I'm just wondering why I never see you out playing around. I'm busy. I...

I don't have a lot of time for playing around. I'm busy. Busy? What do a couple kids like us gotta be busy with? Oh, lots. I got my whole schedule planned out for me. And what does that look like? Well, first arithmetic. I'm terrible at it. And then there's music. This week is Chopin. Current events. Have you heard they're riding in Manhattan? Oh, Latin.

Wow.

That sounds like the road to success. Oh, yes. Well, we, Mama and Daddy and I, we feel very strongly about getting into a good college. A good education is really the key. Some girls are wasted, but that won't be me. I'm certain I'll live a successful and meaningful life as a wife in a working, no integral part of the world, making plans, making money on babies. Close your eyes. Painting.

What? For fun, I like to paint. Tell me more, tell me everything. When the world becomes so full, I'm gonna scream. I'm dizzy with the everyday routine. When I'm almost up to here with the voices that I hear saying, Allie, be well, man, it mustn't miss a lesson. Speak when you've been spoken to and for God's sake, Allie. There's a low whistling through the trees.

The honeybees will catch a breeze from far away. And though I'm lonesome, my heart is at bay. Find the lonesome disappears. The canvas near, the colors play. While I am listening to the tree, across the sea will come a teasing lullaby.

She will tell me how to stay locked in my frame. The brush and I, the brush and I. I can't imagine anything more awful and unfair than wasting all your lifetime making plans. Maybe just a feeling, but the feeling that I've got says this life and me, we're gonna be each other's greatest fans.

When I paint, I can see it all is clear My dreams are right within my reach, no trace of fear Oh, it's nothing grand, I just know I've been the gist of lives Here inside the brush and brush and brush

What is this place? Windsor Plantation. Built in 1772. I'm gonna buy it someday and fix it up. Well, don't I get a say in this? You wanna say in this? Oh, honey. I've got my eye on a sweet country home Where the mockingbirds sing The moon shines along a river where We'll be happy as two can be That sounds wonderful.

I've got designs on a white country where the shutters are blue and the sun shines along. A wraparound porch where three or four can be happy as you and me.

Then after the sun goes down, we'll cut up by the river. This old sleepy town will never be the wiser as we dream away. Those sweet Saturdays, sing summertime blues and laugh ways of the easy life. That lush, lazy, and be happy just you and me.

Scarlet, you look lovely in your own light. Oh, it's so beautiful. It's brilliant, frankly. Yes.

You are beautiful, my dear. It's so hot in here. Oh, hot, yes. But after the sun goes down, we'll cut up by the river. This old sleepy town will never be the wiser as we drink away the waste. Saturdays sing summertime blues.

And laugh at the ways of the easy life, that lush lazy life and be happy just you and me. He is trash. Trash? Mama, you don't know anything about him. Noah is a good man. He's not good enough for you. I love him. Daddy, please. He can't provide a good life for you, honey. He's just a country boy.

Pretty boxes of diamonds, of ribbons and pearls, maybe her heart's desire. What if she's fooling herself and me, and everyone else, into thinking that she's as free as a winded lark? Nor too well, and she'd never tell. I'd only break her heart.

Pretty boxes can be such curious things When you know what's inside has strong will and wings And it's only a matter of time before they go She'll try to live a simple life But simple lives are not for everyone I know her too well and she'd never tell

And I'd only break your heart. Noah, I'm sorry. Noah? You Noah Calhoun? Yes, sir. I've got a letter here for you. I can't read it. Noah, I'm sorry. I hate them. I can't believe they're really doing this. They're really tearing us apart. Summer love, she said. Laughed it off as summer love. But she doesn't know you like I do.

No one, no one... Allie, don't talk to me. This is just silliness. Allie! Oh, sugar. I know you think that I don't know what you're going through, but I do. Listen to me. I do. It's just that sometimes our future is dictated by what we are as opposed to what we want. Just try to understand that, honey. That's all I'm gonna say.

I love you, Ally. I just want what's best. I ha- You still- After I have gone You still ha- I'm beside you Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons. When all's said and done, they have one thing in common: They're shooting stars. A spectacular moment of light in the heavens. A glimpse of eternity, and in a flash, they're gone.

But that can't happen to us, Noah. No matter what they do, no matter who tries to keep us apart, I will come back to you. Wait for me, Noah. If you still love me, write to me and tell me so. And I will come back to you. On a Sunday, the day we met, I'll take a train. Write me soon. Loving you. Sunday is only two days away. Already they said.

Your train was coming in our way. It's cold air tonight and the fireflies glow. Lights up the evening like Christmas. Same as your eyes before I lay. On a Sunday train. I can hear the whistle blowing you away. On a Sunday train.

I can hear the steeple bells ringing our refrain. And I'll say goodnight again and again. Cause I can't get it out of my head. I wait like I wait for every Sunday train. Time's passing on.

And still no reply You said you loved me And maybe I'm crazy But I can't let this die They said it might snow And there'll probably be rain And the wind's gonna blow I'll be here just to say

Cause I don't wanna miss ya, and baby I miss ya. Come on back this way. On a Sunday train, I can hear the whistle blow. On a Sunday train, I can hear the steeple bells ring.

Yes, here it is!

Alright folks, Max is going to slow it down a little for you. So grab your gals and come on out to dance. Think of me when others arms are open

Think of me. Remember why you love me too and say my name. Perhaps I'll hear you call it from across the sea. I'll close my eyes and if I try, back in your embrace I'll be.

Think of me. When the nights get lonely.

Think of me. Recall the warmth you felt when we said we'd grow old together. I'll admit. Your kiss I can't resist. Oh, think of me, darling. When in doubt, action. This is happening. Stay here. What are you doing?

I'm out of ammo, just stay put, I'll be right back! I've known that the love of my life held you and you would have known that without you I'm simply a shell of a when all you hear are cries in the dark think of me recall the way I whispered to you when your heart was aching

Don't want to think anymore I tried to live without you I'm nothing left without you And I threw out to sea But what I felt was

I will never let you slip away. I will never let you slip away.

Don't wanna think more. I'm trying to live without you. I'm nothing without you. Without you. Days go and worries in my head.

Sink like ships and sunset. Lon is good. Lon is kind. Lon is steady and patient. And makes sure that I'm taken care of. Lon is true. No one truer. Lon is loyal and spoils me so. He's a good man. A fine man. I know.

It's appalling how ungrateful you are. There are many other places you might have landed. There are many worse fates to befall many women than to have a man who's kind and good and true. It's so silly how romantic you are in your quiet moments, how you long for his touch.

But he's no more than an apparition in your past Things change now Hello? Hi Betsy Routine conversation Routine conversation Nothing too suspicious Everything is fine Routine conversation Alright then, goodbye

And yet, here am I.

with my best dress and my favorite perfume. My heart laid out like a pig on a platter and all a flutter like a butterfly in June. Oh dear me, bless my soul, I'm just a fool. Hello! Hi, Lond! Routine conversation, routine conversation.

Nothing too suspicious. Everything is fine. Routine conversation. Yes, I found a dresser. It will be delivered Friday in the afternoon, if that's alright with you. I love you too. Goodbye. Now I have to find a dresser and from someone who'll deliver. Go!

What kind of woman must I be to be so selfish? To be lying left and right and feeling barely guilty of it? It's appalling and exhilarating. I'm a mess and loving every minute of it all for shame. What kind of woman in my situation wouldn't do the same? Besides, every woman likes her best dress and her favorite perfume. Even if there's no one who cares to notice, well then I guess

I'll be nowhere so started And I know, bless my soul, I've been a fool It's amazing how much more grown you are Always pretty in your youth, but now There are many new things still to learn in my hasten And a dream from years ago too late to ask

Excuse me, if I receive any calls while I'm out, will you please tell them I'll be back late this evening? Certainly, miss. Thank you. Routine conversation, routine conversation. Nothing too suspicious, everything is fine. Routine conversation, just seeing an old friend. Not an ordinary in my life.

Breathe in, breathe out, standing but on my knees.

Breathe in, breathe out, speaking but my heart sings. We're one soul through time. We've lived a hundred lives before. Searching a million moments for this feeling. And our fear is awful.

I would stand beside you as you darken this door. We go in guns blazing, bring that devil to his knees. Oh, there's some strange power in you and me. Breathing, breathing, and taking in more.

Breathe in, breathe out, and with one look you've calmed my storm We've lived a hundred lives before, searching a million moments for this feeling And I wouldn't wait a thousand years or more

I would stand beside you as you darken death's door. We go in guns blazing, bring that devil to his knees. Some strange pain. Every move, every look, every touch, you know.

So I can feel alive again. Every look, every touch, He knows. Every storm, every whisper, and whenever He knows.
