- Earl Cooper: How old are you?
- Steve Langston: I'm 30.
- Earl Cooper: How long have you known Amy?
- Steve Langston: We went to high school together.
- Earl Cooper: That's a long time...
- Steve Langston: Anyway I thought we'd go to dinner then head down to the beach. There's a full moon out tonight, it's supposed to be beautiful.
- Earl Cooper: That's not happening.
- Steve Langston: I'm sorry...?
- Earl Cooper: You're 30 years old. I know all about you, cause I was 30 once, too. I know what your bottom line is with women, I know what you want with Amy and I can see right through your immaturity. It's not working for you, son.
- Steve Langston: Mr. Cooper - I'm going to go outside, ring the doorbell and maybe we can start all over.
- Earl Cooper: If you go outside that door, you will never come inside this house again.
- Laura Sanchez: He has no idea, does he?
- Jarred Williams: Not a clue.
- Laura Sanchez: I'm not getting a good feeling about this. Listen, this is my friend - I know she can handle this, but can your boy, Steve?
- Jarred Williams: I don't know.
- Steve Langston: So, the last time I saw you, you were Homecoming Queen, dating Mr. Perfect, the Homecoming King - then - what happened?
- Amie Cooper: It was five years ago, I was still dating Mr. Perfect - we went to the lake with some friends to celebrate Fourth of July weekend - you know, race boats, get drunk - act like a bunch of crazy people.
- Steve Langston: Done that a to time or two.
- Amie Cooper: We were sitting on the bank watching the fireworks. I remember, it was especially clear that night. The stars were out, Jimmy Buffet was playing on the radio - and while we were waiting for the grand finale, someone threw their own fireworks in to our camp. One of Brian's friends yelled out to warn us, but - I turned and looked right into it. There was this bright flash, then the most unbelievable explosion you could ever imagine. Everything shook - then everything went black.
- Steve Langston: Dear God...
- Amie Cooper: The only thing I felt was the - ringing in my ears. That was all I could feel for a long, long time.
