The onset of junior prom stirs up emotional tumult as Liz tempts fate by asking Max to be her date, Isabel decides Alex is the man she's been searching for, and Michael tells Maria he won't take her to prom.
"Heart of Mine" 38th Episode of Roswell Production Code: 2ADA16 [SCENE_BREAK] (The episode opens with Liz twirling down the bowling lanes in her prom dress and socks.) Liz: It's April 27th. I'm Liz Parker and I think I've figured out why I haven't written in this journal in nearly a year. (The scene changes to her balcony and we see Liz writing in her journal.) Liz: It's just ironic that I would figure something out really deep from like the least deep guy in America. (The scene changes to a restaurant where Liz and Sean are sitting at a table.) (Sean is regaling her with a polar bear joke, throwing fries up in the air to catch in his mouth while she just watches him with a slight smile on her face. Then we see them sitting inside his VW bug outside of the Crashdown Cafe. They look at each other. Sean clears his throat.) Sean: You wanna go bowling? Liz: Um, uh, I think that the alley is closed. Sean: To the public. Liz: Oh. Sean: I have access. Liz: Well, yeah, but it's a weeknight so I probably shouldn't. You know... commit a felony. Sean: he gives a small chuckle Yeah, that's cool, maybe some other time. Liz: Look Sean, you know despite what people say, I think you're a really nice guy. Sean: There's something about you Liz. Liz: What?? Sean: I've just always thought there was something about you, you know. Something special. Liz: Thank you Sean, thanks, a lot. Uh, good... good night Sean. Sean: Good night Liz. (Sean leans over and kisses her, she kisses back but breaks it off first, then looks away, looking upset.) [ OPENING CREDITS ] (The scene opens in the school bathroom, Liz sitting on the counter, Maria is reflected in the mirror.) Liz: No. One minute I was letting him down easy and the next minute he was kissing me, what was I supposed to do? Maria: I don' know, a swift kick to the huevos comes to mind. Liz You know what the most annoying part of all of this is? I can't stop thinking what Max would think. I mean why? Right? We're not even together. God, I have spent two years of my life involved in this thing with Max and I don't even have a date for the prom. And now I feel guilty. Why... why should I feel guilty? Maria: Oh you shouldn't feel guilty, it was a non kiss, it's not like you would kiss Sean back. Right? Big pause while they look at each other, then the truth dawns on Maria Eww! I'm gonna be sick! (Scene switches to Max and Michael entering the school.) Michael: So you actually remember our planet? Max: Yes! Michael: What are the chicks like? Max: If you're not going to take this seriously... Michael: I seriously wanna know what the chicks are like. Max: It's not that literal, they're just these images. In one way I have this, this really clear feeling about everything. In another way everything seems so ephemeral. You know, uh... Michael: ... transient, fleeting, impermanent, I know what ephemeral means Maxwell. It's my life. Max: Michael, I remember everyone. You, Isabel... (He looks up and sees Tess walking and laughing with Kyle.) Max: For some reason Tess is the clearest. (Scene changes to two couples sitting at a table in what appears to be the library. Their conversation catches Isabels attention, who is standing a short distance away reading a book.) The Guy: Um, Allie,um I know we've been friends for a long time and I, I wouldn't want to do anything to risk that. But I'm just, I'm just starting to feel like we're more than just, than just friends. Ya know? Allie: You are? The Guy: Uh, yeah, anyway, i was just wondering if you wanted to go with me to the prom? Allie: Of course! I can't wait to get a dress... (Isabel smiles wistfully, happy for the couple.) (Scene changes to Maria and Michael looking at a poster for Prom.) Michael: Just kill me now. I don't do proms. I don't believe in them. Maria: You don't believe in them?! Michael: The whole thing is totally bogus. It's completely unnatural. Maria: You know what? I, I find it to be really unnatural that you're half alien warrior and half Grandpa Dupree! But I make do. Michael: I knew you were going to make this thing into a whole issue. Maria: Oh my God! This is potentially one of the five greatest nights of my life! And if you're not going to do your part in providing that for me, then I'm just gonna, I'm gonna seek other options. It's what I'm gonna do. Michael: So what are you saying, that we're seeing other people? Maria: Oh my God, you are so annoying! Michael: Fine then we're seeing other people. Maria: Fine! (He turns and walks away.) (The scene changes to Kyle sitting down, reading one of his Buddha books.) (Malamoot sits down next to him.) Malamoot: pats Kyle on the shoulder Valenti Kyle: Kyle gives a deep sigh, looks at him Malamoot Malamoot: You still reading this Hinduism crap? Kyle: It's Buddhism. And if you're asking about my spiritual journey, I'm touched. Malamoot: Well, no, actually, I was wondering if it's gonna help you get into Tess Hardings pants. Kyle: Right Malamoot: No, I'm serious man. How long are you going to let that blonde little hottie live under your roof, before you make your move? (Scene changes to Liz, outside at a table, writing. Max walks up.) Max: Hey Liz: Oh, hey. Max: There's a, there's something I've been wanting to tell you. Liz: Yeah? (Off to the side we see a couple hug in excitement, obviously more coupling for the prom going on.) Liz: the prom Max: yeah Liz: yeah, it seems like Michael and Maria aren't going. Max: Well, I, I think that one might be a little too early to call. Liz: It's really weird. You know... A year ago I was so certain that the four of us would go together. I always picture that moment, you know, walking in through those double doors together. I even bought a dress. Max: You did? Liz: Yeah. Well, you know it was around that time last year when we first kissed and everything seeemed so... Max: ...simpler. Liz: Yeah. Max, I know that we're not seeing each other and I accept that, I do. But, um, this is my prom, you know, it really means a lot to me. I, I've put a lot of thought into it. Max: Well, you know, we can go. Liz: We can? Max: Yeah, I mean, okay, fine, we're not together, but we're also not with anyone else. Liz: Right. I, I mean it doesn't have to be some life changing thing. It can just... you know we can just go and have a good time. Max: I would love that. Liz: Me too. Oh, um, so was there something that you wanted to tell me. Max: Right, I'm starting to remember things. About my planet, my life, my other life. Liz: Wow. Max: Yeah, yeah, it's, it's weird, like, for the first time I can remember things. You know, like what it smelled like. What it felt like to be there. Liz: Yeah, that, that's great. Max: Yeah, I've been dying to tell you. Liz: Yeah, yeah, that, that, that must be really exciting. Wow, so um, do you remember like actual people, you know, like Michael and Isabel? Max: Yeah, more like their energy than what anyone actually looks like. Liz: Right, what about Tess? Max: Yeah, I remember her too. Liz: That's great. (Scene opens to Liz running down the sidewalk, trying to catch the bus, that's just left without her.) Liz: Wait, wait, wait, wait! Driver! Driver please wait! she slows down Damn (Meanwhile, Sean has pulled up in his green VW bug.) Sean: Need a ride? Liz: No, I'm fine. Sean: Parker, about the other night... look I, I totally misread my cards. All right? I thought I caught a vibe. Liz: Well, you didn't. Sean: Come on, let me.. there's not going to be another bus for half hour. Let me give you a ride to school. Consider it my apology. (She accepts and they pull up to the curb near school.) Liz: Why, why are you stopping? The school's 2 blocks ahead. Sean: This is as far as I can go. From a legal point of view. Liz: What? Are you kidding? Sean: Uh, it's a condition of my probation. You know, like I'm not allowed to be within a thousand feet of the school. But um, if you want a ride home I could uh, I could wait for ya. Liz: No I just, I think I'm gonna have to take the bus. Sean: Right. Liz: Okay. Sean: Hey... Liz: hmmm? Sean: Listen, about the other night, um... I, I know it was a mistake what I did, okay? But I, I just wanted to say that when, when we kissed, it was um, it was the first time that I ever felt at home, in this town. So... Liz: Look, Sean, I'm, I'm going to the prom with Max. Sean: Oh, well, you should've just told me you guys were back together. I mean, I don't feed off another man's taco platter, so... Liz: No, well, we're not back together, we're just going to the prom. Sean: Right. Liz: mm hmm Sean: Hey, my hat's off to the guy. Liz: What is that suppose to mean? Sean: Nothing, just uh, you know, nice operation he's got going... Liz: An operation? Sean: Yeah, I mean, you know, he's free to play the field and yet he's keeping you off the market. Liz: That's not what's happening Sean. You have no idea who Max is okay? Because if you knew him you would know that he is above and beyond that way of thinking. He is an incredibly, incredibly honorable guy. (Scene changes to Michael at his locker and Maria approaches him.) Maria: So, missed your shift last night. Michael: Alien business. Maria: Well, we're both off tonight so I'm willing to let you take me to dinner and a movie so you can make up for your assinine comments yesterday. Which um, by the way, I think it's very big of me. Michael: I can't make it tonight. Maria: You can't make it? Michael: Naw, I got plans. (He walks away and leaves her standing alone.) (The scene changes to the library where Isabel is sitting at a table with Alex.) Isabel: So I think Billy Sorian is going to ask me to prom. Alex: Billy, huh? Are you sure? Cuz I heard he was taking Amy Green. Isabel: Well, the point is, I would've said no. Alex: Oh. Isabel: What about you Alex? Anyone special? Alex: Not right now. Isabel: Really? Maybe someone special, from your past, who's ready now and before she wasn't. Alex: Isabel, it would be my dream to take you to prom. (Isabel smiles.) Alex: But then we'd wake up the next morning and you'd be onto the next thing and I'd be right back where I was before Sweden. You know, obssessed, pathetic and lovesick. So, I think, amazingly, my answer is no. I'm not going to take you to prom. Okay. (Isabel appears uncomfortable and upset.) (Scene changes to Tess's room, Kyle knocks to come in.) Tess: Oh Kyle, hey. Kyle: Hey. Tess: What's up? Kyle: Last year, I went to the prom with Trudy MacIntire. Tess: Oh Trudy, she's cute. Kyle: Yeah, and so we went, and everything was okay, but I didn't really know her, ah, so we didn't really have much to talk about, much to say to each other. And so I realized that I feel like I really know you. Which is unusual for me with girls and uh, anyway, I just... feel free to say no, or laugh or be outraged or whatever, but would you... want to go to the prom? You know, with me? Tess: You know, I'd really like that Kyle. Kyle: Oh Tess: Thank you. (Scene changes to Liz and Maria breaking into Michaels apartment with a credit card.) Liz: I can't believe that we're breaking into Michael's apartment. Maria: Believe it. Liz: I just know that we're going to regret this. Maria: Well, yeah, if we don't find any evidence. Liz: Of what?? Maria: That he's seeing someone else! Hello! Liz: This whole thing came up yesterday. How could he already have another girlfriend? Maria: That's exactly my point Liz. He obviously already had this bimbo on the side and was just looking for an excuse to break up with me, ya know? Liz: No, I just think that you are overreacting. (Maria finds a tablet and scribbles on it with a pencil until the name and address of a girl named Juanita shows up. She shows it to Liz.) Liz: Oh Maria: b*st*rd! (We see a house being watched through the perspective of binoculars and find that Maria and Liz are watching this Juanita's house.) Liz: I cannot believe that Michael is seeing another woman, I just, I won't. I... Maria: Snap out of it sister! Juanita! Maria points to her house. Homewrecker! Liz: I can't believe what is going on with you and Michael and me and Max. Maria: Liz, what are you talking about? You and Max are going to prom. Liz: I don't know, I just feel Max and I going in two different directions, like, it's like we're not able to just separate? (In the window we see a woman and Michael coming up to hold her.) Liz: Makes you realize how, like, easy things change. Because people meet other people. I could meet another guy. Or Max could meet another girl, and... Maria: Or Michael could meet another woman. (Scene changes to Max's bedroom. He and Tess are both sitting on the bed facing each other.) Tess: Okay, just think about everything that you remember. What did it look like? Feel like? Smell like? You're not concentrating. Max: Yes I am. Tess: Something's getting in your way. What's going on with you? Max: Actually there is something I should probably tell you. Liz and I are going to the prom. Tess: So? Max, I, I don't care about that stuff. That's not what's important here. This is what's imortant and we can do it. Let's try again. (Scene changes to outside, Liz and Marie are in the car, just after having seen Michael with another woman.) Maria: I'm okay, I'm okay. Liz: Okay Maria: Maria loses it, crying, hitting the steering wheel Why?! Why?! Why, why?! I just don't understand, I wish, I wish that I hadn't seen that, I wish that I hadn't figured it out, I wish... Liz: Maria, we don't know for sure that anything happened. You know we could be reading into this whole thing. Maria: That's why you have to go and ask Max. Liz: No, Maria, I do not think that's such a good idea. Maria: Please! (Scene switches to Max's bedroom again. Max and Tess are holding hands still on the bed, facing each other, there's a lot of candle light going on.) Tess: I see you. You're swimming on your back. The water's much thicker than the water here on Earth. Heavier. It's not quite liquid but not quite solid. As you swim through it, the water reforms around your body and it feels like you're swimming in... Max: Jello. I remember. I remember it. I remember the water. (Liz is approaching Max's house as his memories start to return.) Max: Oh my God, you did it. You made me remember. (Max hugs Tess, they're both smiling. That's when Liz gets to his window, looks in and sees them, she walks away.) (Next scene, Liz is walking down the sidewalks of Roswell, past the Crashdown Cafe. She looks upset. She sees Sean.) Liz: You are like ubiquitous. Sean: I think I might've figured something out about you, Parker. Liz: You know what? I'm not interested! Sean: It might fix your problem. Liz: Who says that I had a problem?! Sean: Well, look at you. You look like you're about to puke, at the very least. Liz: Hey, do you know what? I do not need this right now, okay? I do not want to hear any more of your stupid, inane comments. I do not want to hear any more of your little theories on life. And I do not wanna write my frickin name in mustard okay? My life is falling apart! Sean: You wanna go somewhere? Liz: Yes. (Scene changes to the bowling alley, Liz is picking up a bowling ball, while Sean coaches her from the seat.) Sean: Okay, step, step, step, bend, roll, follow through. (Liz rolls a gutter ball.) Liz: I suck. Sean: No, that was, that was definitely an improvement. You wanna split a beer with me? Liz: No... Sean: Don't even finish the sentence. Here, um, here's a coke. Liz: Thank you. Sean: So um, can I tell you my theory? Liz: Can I stop you? (Sean chuckles.) Sean: You and I are, are really different people. Liz: That's your theory. Sean: But the thing is, that if we're so different then why do I feel so much every time I look at you? I mean it's not completely one sided is it? This town. Every body's always looking at me, like... there's Sean, just got back from juvie. What's crazy Sean gonna do next? And that's what I figured out about you. You're not that different. I mean this whole arrangement you have with Max, it's like you're not together but you're not apart. I mean I bet you can't even talk to me without wondering what Max is gonna think about it. But meanwhile, you're not getting what you need from him, are you? You're suffocating Liz. We both are. (They both just look at each other, there's an akward moment, Liz bends down, picks up a ball and bowls a strike. She turns around,excited.) Liz: Oh my God! How was that? Sean: Nice roll Parker, you're a real prospect. Liz: Thank you. (Sean takes off his shoes.) Liz: What are you doing? Sean: Lane walking. Liz: Yeah, what's that? Sean: There's this thing I used to do when I worked here, see.... what the average American doesn't realize is that every lane in a bowling alley has about a million coats of oil on it, so, if you're wearing just socks, you can kind of slide forever. It's kind of free. Wanna try it? Liz: Maybe next time. Sean: I'm gonna count on that. (Sean takes off running down the lane and slides in his socks.) Sean: Woooo! (Sean turns around and looks at Liz, smiling. She smiles back.) [SCENE_BREAK] (The scene switches back to Max's bedroom. He and Tess are still sitting together on his bed.) Tess: What else do you remember? Max: Three moons, burnt orange, no clouds, very surreal, like a painting. Tess: What else? Max: I need a break. (Max gets up off the bed.) Tess: It takes time. You know, every thing's blurry at first, but eventually, the images just get clearer and clearer. Max: How clear are your memories? Tess: Most are still blurry, but a few, a few are clearer and more real to me than anything here in this world. Max: Do you remember me? Tess: Yeah. Max: What was I like? Tess: I remember when you used to reach over and touch me in the middle of the night and when you used to hold me. (Scene changes to Alex's room, he's in his pajama's playing his guitar.) (Someone knocks at the window.) Alex: Hello? (Another knock.) Alex: Who is it? (He gets off the bed, lifts his guitar as a weapon as he walks toward the window. Another knock sounds and he opens the blinds to see who it is. Isabel is standing there. He looks relieved and opens the window.) Isabel: Hey. Alex: Hey. Isabel: Sorry. Alex: It's okay. Isabel: Can I come in? Alex: Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. (She comes in. Then they're sitting on his window bench, talking.) Isabel: Last semester, Miss Rikesdale told me that I only needed to take one more class to graduate. So I did. Alex: So you're graduating? Isabel: You're the only person that knows that. Alex: So are you like, going to college? Isabel: Exactly, I had know idea. But what I'm sure of, is that I'm graduating. And this is my last chance to have a prom, ever. He just sits in silence Alex, please don't make me just sit here. Alex: Isabel Evans, go to the prom with me? (She hugs him, laughing, happy...) (Scene changes to the Crashdown Cafe, where students are gathered, all decked out in there prom wear. Maria is fixing Liz's hair.) Maria: Is he looking? Liz: No, just concentrate. Maria: What an idiot, I swear, I hope he's lonely tonight. (You see Michael behind the counter, cooking, looking vulnerable. Then Kyle and Tess enter the Cafe.) Kyle: So, uh, beverage? Tess: Yeah, yeah, please. I, I'm just gonna go and sit over there. Kyle: Good, good, so I'll get... your beverage. (They appear very akward with each other. Then we see Kyle sitting alone at the counter as he overhears Liz and Maria talk.) Maria: No, I think it looks hot, Liz. Liz: No, um okay, I'm gonna take a... and Liz walks away. (Kyle walks up to Maria, smiles.) Kyle: Hello. Maria: Hi. Kyle: Can I get two cokes? He asks the waitress behind the counter.Then they both look over at Valenti and Amy DeLuca sitting together at a booth. Kyle: I caught em making out on the couch. Maria: Dude, I caught them making out in the pantry closet in the kitchen. (It's just so embarrassing.) Kyle: I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's just raging hormones. And they are our chaperones. Maria: Yeah, it's ugh... Hey so are you and Tess uh... you know? Kyle: Oh no, actually, it's like, she uh, she's hot and uh, but I feel really resistant for some reason, I can't quite put my finger on. Maria: Well, maybe you're just gay. Kyle: No, no... (Liz comes out of the kitchen at the same time as Max arrives. Sean witnesses the tender moment. Max and Liz approach each other. He has a corsage for her.) Max: You look beautiful. Liz: Thank you. You look very nice too. Um, you know, Maria's all alone tonight so is it okay if she hangs out with us? Max: Of course. Amy: Oh come on kids, we have to take pictures. Come on, lets go guys. Oh, Liz, you look beautiful. Maria, you look absolutely perfect. Where is uh, Isabel, Alex, Tess, come on. Lets take pictures. Who'm I missing, uh Michael. Come out here, mm hmm. Come on, lets go now. Uh, Jim, come on, who'm I going to stand with? Is that everyone? Oh, oh, this is going to be great, um, Sean.... Can you take the picture for me? (Sean steps up, takes the camera from Amy, she joins the group and he focuses in on them, they're all laughing and happy.) Liz: in a voice over And there we were. All together, with everything we'd all been through over the last two years. The battles we'd fought, the relationships that were formed, the feelings for each other, stronger than any feelings we'd ever known could exist. And somehow in this moment I had this really strong, really upsetting feeling, that this was the last time we'd all be standing together. (Scene changes to the sight of the prom., all decorated, music playing, couples walking around, then Alex and Isabel having their picture taken.) Alex: Thank you sir. My lady... He offers his arm to Isabel. Isabel: Thank you. Alex: Your welcome. You know, I gotta say, objectively speaking, you are incredibly beautiful this evening. Isabel: You don't have to say that. Alex: I know I don't. Isabel: Alex, thank you. This means so much to me, and I know you didn't want to come, so thank you. Alex: Well, you just gotta promise to not be any more beguiling otherwise I'll be right back where I was. When she giggles, he says, I'm serious... Let's dance. Isabel: Lets dance. Alex: Okay. (Now we see Kyle at the punch bowl, getting drinks. Malamoot approaches him.) Malamoot: Valenti... Kyle: Malamoot.... Malamoot: This is it big man, the big night. Kyle: Yeah, this is it. Malamoot: I envy you Valenti. (We see Tess sitting at the table.) Kyle: All right. Malamoot: Look at that compact little body. Kyle: All right. Malamoot: Bet she's a firecracker in the sack. Kyle: I wouldn't know. Malamoot: Yeah well, you will soon. Hey listen, what do you say, you throw her to me for a couple hours after your done? (Kyle grabs him by the collar.) Kyle: Dont you ever talk about my sister like that! Malamoot: What? (Kyle looks confused and just walks away.) (Now we see Max and Liz sitting at a table.) Max: So... Liz: Yeah... Max: You wanna dance? Liz: Sure. (They walk to the dance floor and the music changes to slow music.) Liz: Max, I just want to say that I feel really weird. Max: What do you mean? Liz: I mean I saw you with Tess. Max: Saw me what with Tess? Liz: I saw you with her. I came by your house yesterday to talk to you about something and you were with her. Max: We were just trying to find out things about where I came from, that's all. Liz: I know, I know, I mean, you know, you keep saying that. but you um, keep on leaving out this really pertinent fact. That you were married to her. I feel like my whole life for the past year has been waiting for some really bad news. Oh, you know, by the way Liz, I remember Tess, and I love her. It's really paralyzing. Max: I know it's not easy. Liz: No, Max, it can be. It can be really, really easy. You know, we both just stop pretending. Max: What do you mean? Liz: You know, maybe we're both just holding on to something that'll never be. Max, maybe we should just let go. I have been in so much pain. This whole year. and it's like I'm suffocating. Max: Liz... (A very painful moment of finality comes over them, she shakes her head at him, then sees Maria standing by herself.) Liz: Um, I should go, you know, for Maria. Max: Right. Liz: She's all alone tonight. Max: Go ahead. Liz: Max. Max: Go ahead. (Now we see Kyle and Tess going into a room. Kyle searches for the right words.) Kyle: Um, Tess, uh you, you're, you're beautiful. Tess: Kyle, please don't say that. Kyle: And the thing is, you're not just some girl, I care about you. Tess: Kyle, I don't... I just.... Kyle: I think of you as family. As a sister. I dont' think it could be a romantic thing Tess: I understand. You know I'm disappointed, but I understand. (They hug. Back out on the dancer floor, we see Liz and Maria dancing with abandon. Max watches for a bit, then walks away. Michael walks in and Maria sees him.) Liz: Okay, go. Maria: No, no, me and you, we're a couple now. Liz: Go! (Maria and Michael walk up to each other.) Maria: What are you doing here? Michael: Came her to dance. Maria: Well you shoulda brought Juanita. Michael: How do you know about her? Maria: I followed you to your pod. Michael: Juanita's my dance teacher. Maria: Your dance teacher. Michael: Yeah, I can't dance. And I knew this was a big deal for you so I was taking dancing lessons. (Maria looks very embarrassed, relieved, happy.) Maria: Oh my God. Michael: Wait, did you think Juanita was some chick I was boffing? Maria: Oh my God. Michael: How the hell did you find out about it in the first place... Maria: Oh my God, I am like the stupidest person alive. Michael: Okay. Juanita declared me unteachable, but if you want to risk personal injury... (They head out to the dance floor. Now we see Max sitting alone in the hall holding his corsage. Kyle and Tess come upon him.) Tess: I'll meet you inside in a minute, okay? Kyle: Sure. Tess: You look sad. Max: I think it's really over. Tess: You mean with Liz. Max: Yeah. I mean I, I realize that, I guess that on some level that things were headed in that direction. I think it's really actually over. (Now we see Isabel and Alex dancing.) Isabel: Alex, I'm going to do something, I said I wouldn't do. Alex: Don't. (She kisses him. He draws back.) Alex: I asked you not to do that. (They kiss again. Liz sees, then looks around and leaves. Now it's back to Max and Tess sitting in the halls.) Max: I remembered something else. I don't know how to feel about it. Tess: What do you remember? Max: Our first kiss. It was at a party... late at night. And you... Tess: I, I leaned in... and whispered in your ear and then you touched my cheek... Max: and then we just... (They kiss. Liz walks in and sees them, throws her corsage in the trash and runs out of the school, while Max and Tess continue to kiss. She shows up at the bowling alley where Sean is bowling. He turns around and sees her, smiles.) Sean: What are you doing here Parker? Liz: I guess this is kind of an addictive sport. (He motions her on down and the next we see Liz in her socks, lane walking, laughing, Sean lane walking with her.) Liz (V.O.): We try to live responsible, logical lives. But we can't tell our hearts how to feel. (As she's speaking we see Alex and Isabel kissing, Max and Tess sitting together...) Sometimes our hearts lead us to places we never thought we wanted to go. (Then we see Michael and Maria dancing.) And sometimes our hearts can be the sweetest, gentleist things we have. (Back at the bowling alley, Liz is still lane walking with Sean.) Sometimes our hearts can make us feel miserable, angry, excited and confused. All at once. But at least my heart is open. And I'm writing again. I'm feeling. I'm breathing. (The last scene shows her at home, writing in her journal.)
Heart of Mine
