October Road

Previously on "october road"...

one thing to pay a visit after ten years,

but,uh,considering the number you did on knights ridge in your book,

you might meet some resistance.

So you're a mom,huh? I didn't know that.

Well,there's a lot of things you miss when you vanish into the ether.

- Surprised yet? - Shocked.

You meet alison yet?

What,owen rowan's wife?

- I had sex with her. - What?

What have you been up to, man?

I haven't left this house in five years.

Five years.

Nick's staying,eddie. Isn't that great?

Maybe sometime you wanna come out

- Are you asking me out,ddie? - I guess.

How old is sam?

He turns 10 in 2 month

but don't worry. He's not yours.

The boy-- he has your mother's eyes.

The college offered me a job.

You can't just wander into our lives,not now.

you really think

Peanut allergy-- he's got one.

All the men in my family have peanut allergie

- it's not that rare. -Yeah,it is.

No,it's not.

Can I see a show of hands for everyone here with a nut allergy?

...And then foulke underhanded the ball to doug mientkiewicz,

and that's how the red sox won the world series.

But you probably already knew all this. I'm sure the big guy up there had a hand in it.

What else? What else? Um...

this thing with sam...

hannah said the real father is some guy named gavin goddard.

But let's be serious. Is anybody really named "gavin godda"?

That'S... that's,like, a name that you make up when you can't think of another name.

But on the other hand,

evidently, everyone in the free world has a peanut allergy, so I don't know.

But here's what I keep coming back to,ma--

I've already missed out on ten years.

I can't really chance missing any more,can I?

Thanks,ma.

Glad we had this talk.

I gotta go to class.

Oh.

Yeah,hannah boy,sam?

He's amazing. You would love him.

And he would love you,too.

I'll see you next week.

Miss you a lot.

Give my best to steve mcqueen.

how much longer do we have to hang out here?

Just a little while longer.

* I'll travel all night just to see your face

* the way you touch the way you taste

I was coming over for that.

Oh.

Um... I thought...

'cause I'll come ck to you I don't know what I thought. You want me to go get ?

It's already back in play.

Right. So probably not. That'd be dumb.

You're silly,seth.

but my name's sam.

Let's get meatball subs... seth.

"there was an age differce,

"but katherine didn't mind.

"Yes,he was older,

"but there was a certainty about him,

"a youthful certainty.

"She couldn't help herself.

She leaned down...

and she kissed him,

"and it was everything she'd hoped for.

"At once, "she understood the true meaning of the word 'shiver.'

"It wasn't something you did when cold.

"It was somethg you did...

when hot."

That's it.

Comments?

Ross.

I think it was awesome,

the way you realize what lovemaking is.

Um,it's--it's simple but powerful.

Mad right-on.

thanks,ross.

Yes,and there was an honesty there,

but what I-I think ross meant to say was that aubrey's character came to this realization.

Remember,guys,it's fiction.

so that's it.

But,um,next week, we're reading denny,julia and,uh,tim?

All right.

Okay.

Well?

Derivative? Brilliant? Lame?

Wow. Self-hating and grandiose all in one breath.

You really are a writer.

No,I thought-- I-I thought it was very strong.

"Mad right-on"?

Yeah,a little bit. A little bit mad right-on.

- See you next week. - Mm-hmm.

Oh,um,so I heard that you and eddie latekka were hanging out.

Are you guys becoming friends?

Why do you ask?

Are you... jealous?

Excuse me?

Do you want to be hanging out with eddie latekka?

Actually,yeah,I do.

Giveim time.

I'm telling you man, this girl is very cool.

and very hot.

- She's my student,ikey. - Who res?

You should take that down like chrtmas decorations on january 10th.

You know what I can't understand?

What?

Alison rowan. She seems sophisticated,pretty,smart.

Yeah.

Why did she cheat on her husband with the likes of u?

Tommy tortorelli.

Who?

Her high school sweetheart.

They went out for seven yes, but he was a real creep and broke her heart.

That does not explain why she had a one-night stand with you.

I remind her of tommy tortorelli.

That's the only reason?

Yep.

And that's okay by you?

Oh,yeah. I'm good with it.

Hey.

What does "rock the stadium of her heart" mean?

Excuse me?

"Rock the stadium of her heart."

You did it in the book,and you got the girl to like you.

Okay,sam,I didn't do anything in my book.

This is a work of fiction,okay?

What do you want to know for?

Is there a girl

huh?

Amanda.

Amanda,huh?

Well,does amanda know that you exist?

Ah! If you gotta think that long,kid,

it's what's known as a mute point

.It's "moot," not "mute."

Okay,vinnie vocabulary, but the chick still doesn't know you exist. Hey!

All right,here's the thing--

"rock the stadium of her heart," that'S...

that's the third part in a 3-phase wooing process.

Maybe I should ask her to pumpkin fest.

Well,unless things have radically changed around here,

nobody asks anybody to go to pumpkin fest. Everybody just goes.

I got an idea.

You get through the first two phases,

then you can rock the stadium of her heart...

- at pumpkin fest! - Ikey...

Wouldn't be the first time. Ah!

Can you? Come on!

I mean, I get that he's confused.

But to challenge me about being sam's father?

it's ridiculous.

And the most ridiculous part of it is that we were fighting.

I know.

I saw the pub peanut poll.

The what?

You polled the pub about the peanut thing.

Everyone is talking about it.

Everyone is talking about it?

It was advanced.

And it's not that surprising you fought,hannah.

I mean,it's pretty much been coming for ten years.

I don't think so.

I made my peace with nick a long time ago.

I don't need to fightith him.

Oh. Okay.

Sorry. Why am i still talking about this?

I don't know why I'm still talking about this.

No,you're fine.

It's not that. Just...

I maybe have a maybe-date.

What's a maybe-date?

As in,maybe he won't call.

Uh,maybe if he does, I won't go.

Maybe it's not even a date.

Maybe I wish I hadn't said anything.

Who's the ybe-date with?

Maybe not ready to talk about that yet.

Well,I think it's great that maybe you have a maybe-date.

Back to nick.

I think that ten years of silence has to come out somehow,

that it might be odd if it didn'T.

You know,the thing is,

the whole time I was yelling at him,

all I wanted to do was just...

kiss him.

Just grab him and... kiss him.

Oh,my god,I nted to grab him and kiss him!

Now that's advanced.
