Okay. An old man on his deathbed remembers the summer he fell in love. She was out of his league and he was young and scared. (SNIFFLES) He let her go, thinking surely summer would come again. (SNIFFLING) It never did.

1979. November. You were... (SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYS) (BAWLING) (CHEERING) (GROANING) Never got a chance to say goodbye to Nana. (CONTINUES BAWLING) Damn, you're good. Okay, Ember, Wade, you're up.

(BUBBLING) (GASPS) Ooh, thought bubble. Maybe after dinner we play The Crying Game? (CLAMORING) Yes, yes, yes. Let me guess, you try to cry? We try not to cry. You have one minute. Go!

Yeah, this is almost unfair because I have literally never cried. You got no chance. Sounds like a challenge.

Wait, what? Where are you going? EMBER: Back to my life at the shop where I belong. I take over tomorrow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. You don't want that, you said so yourself. It doesn't matter what I want. Of course it does. Listen. Listen. You've got an opportunity to do something you want with your life. "Want"? Yeah, that may work in your rich kid, "follow your heart" family, but getting to do what you want is a luxury and not for people like me. Why not? Just tell your father how you feel. This is too important. Maybe he'll agree. (CHUCKLES SCORNFULLY) Yeah. Funny. And this whole time, I thought you were so strong, but turns out you're just afraid. Don't you dare judge me. You don't know what it's like to have parents who gave up everything for you. I'm Fire, Wade. I can't be anything more than that. It's what I am and what my family is. It's our way of life. I cannot throw all of that away just for you. I don't understand. (BELL CLANGS) And that alone is a reason this could never work. It's over, Wade. (TRAIN HORN BLOWS)
