Kevin, Lucy, and Memories
(The Lighthouse: Kevin and Victor discuss the almost wedding...)
V: The wedding blew up in your face. Lucy moved out. All your dreams went up in smoke. De quoi s'agit-il? (And I've only had 1 year in french but basically Victor just asked what's this about?) Everybody hits a little rough patch now and then. The important thing is, what are you going to do about it?
K: "Rough Patch". A rough patch. Victor, I left Lucy at the alter.
V: You made a mistake. God bless you, that's why god invented the telephone. Call her. Here, I have her number at the hotel. Call her.
(We see Lucy in her hotel room yelling at the phone with her faithful duck compainion nearby:)
L: Ring, ring, ring, ring. I can't do this. I just can't do this. I can't sit around and wait for Kevin to call me. That's just not me. I can't cal him. He's not going to listen to me. Okay. I need a plan. I just need a plan. I always have a plan... Until now.
K: Lucy siphoned gas out of Eve's car, and then she let Eve take the blame for Serena's accident. And then right when she's supposed to pledge her life and her love to me in marriage, she looked me straight in the eye and she lied about it. All the phone calls in the world won't change those facts.
V: All right, Monk. If that's the way you feel. It's...It's really none of my business.
K: Thank you.
(Victor places a photo album in front of Kevin)
V: I'll just leave that there. Oh, my goodness. It's Lucy's photo album. Do you suppose she know...(Kevin glares at Victor) Sorry. She was very excited about adding the wedding pictures. Oh, look at this - The two of you, all dressed up for the Nurses Ball. What a handsome couple. Such a stunning woman. It's really...
K: Victor...
V: Mmm?
K: Victor.
V: Oh, sorry. I'll just leave that there.
(Victor gts up but wait a second Kevin the funs not over yet - Victor "accidently" hits the answering machine button)
V: Oops.
Lucy's Voice: Oh, Hi, It's you. So glad you called. Now be a sweetie and leave a message. No, really, truly, Kevin, Victor, Sigmung, and I want you to.
<~Answering Machine Beeps~>
K: Victor, why are you doing this to me? Are you trying to make me feel worse? Because believe me when I tell you it isn't possible.
V: Monk, if making you miserable is goig to get you and Lucy back together again, yes, I'm your man. You need her son. She brings life into this...
K: I know what she brings into my life! Before I met her I had nothing good or healthy to look forward to, Victor. My life was work and avoiding the past. I haven't forgotten what she means to me. that's not the point.
V: Monk, I once loved a woman who did something really unforgiveable. Lucy's mistakes are simply not of that magnitude. Don't do this, son. Don't thro your love away.
(Back to Lucy's hotel room with Siggy)
L: On the positive side...
(~Sigmund Quacks~)
L: Right, I love Kevin more than anything or anybody Ive ever loved in my whole entire life. Minus side... He left me at the alter.
(~Sigmund Quacks~)
L: Okat, okay, plus side. You're right. Scott knows how much I love him and how much I adore Serena. Minus side... My best pal, Scott, hates me because of what happened with the accident and Serena. Minus side... if Serena ever finds out what happened she'll think that I hurt her.
(~Sigmund...you guessed it... Quacks~)
L: Oh. Why is it that you understand me and everyone else can't seem to understand that I jut want to protect that little girl and I love her and I didn't mean for this to happen? This minus side, it's a glutton. Look at it. Look at it. It's just eating up the plus side. It'd best it any day of the week, Siggy.
(~Sigmund quacks~)
L: You're right. The plus side is I have you with me and you're not going anywhere. Hey minus side... we are all alone in a hotel room. But plus side... Room service. Hey. Come here. Know what? We may be out but we're not out. Right? Right.
(~Sigmund Quacks~...not exactly the most multitalented duck is he?)
L: Oh boy, Sigmund. Why'd I do it? Why'd I lie to him? Why? Why? Yeah, you're right. It's not the first time I've ever lied to him. But see I just always figured you know, that there was some informationthat Kevin didn't need to know, you know, maybe didn't even wan't to know, and that's what I thought with this accident... that the gas tank information was just in that catergory. He didn't really need or want to know it. And I don't see why I didn't figure out that it was just different. I'll tell you why I lied. I lied because I was ashamed of what I'd done. Oh my god I looked into the eyes of the most kind, compassionate man on the face of this planet and I lied to him because I didn't want him to think any less of me. And I lied so well. He is never, ever going to know whether I'm telling the truth or not.
(~Sigmund Quacks~)
L: I can't thnk like that. I am not going to think like this. It's not over.It is not over becausse Kevin loves me. He loves me very, very much. But he... he left me at the alter on our wedding day. So if he was angry enough to do that, then it really might really be over and I might lose him forever. And if I do...if I lose him forever... then I only have one person to blame, and that's me.
(And we're back to the lighthouse with Victor and Kevin)
K: I trusted her, Victor. I trusted her more than any person I've ever trusted in my whole life. I poured my entire soul into her. When I couldn't admit to myself all the horrible things that happened in my life I could tell her.
V: If you love her like that then surely...
K: It's because I love her that I can't when a casual acquaintance hurts you, it hurts alot yet than when someone close to you does. And I've been through that before... with mother, with Ryan, and even with you. Lucy was the one person I thought whoul never violate my trust. And I thought she understood that I couldn't go through that again. I was wrong.
V: So, you just intend to, what, pretend she doesn't exist?
K: Oh, How can I do that? When everything I see, Every thing I hear, everything I look at... everything reminds me of her. Victor you know I think about not having her and I feel my throat begin to tighten up. But don't shove a phone into my face. I miss her. I want to see her. I want to touch her. I want to hear her voice. But no phone call is going to be able to fix that, Victor. I woke up this morning believing that everything I ever needed and everything I ever wanted was going to be mine forever. And it's dead. I feel like my own choice is going to open the door to the worst fear I have... that this could really drive me insane.
V: No, no, no. Listen to me... she's your heart and you're hers. Now, go to her, right now.
(We see Lucy sitting in her hotel room writing a letter:)
L: "Dear Doc...."
(~Knock on Door~)
L: Doc! (gets up and opens the door to see...) D...Victor.
V: I thought you could use the company. I'll go if I'm intruding.
L: Oh, no, please. Please don't go. You're more than welcome. I am so glad you came. I ruined everything.
V: Oh, Lucy, Lucy we have so much in common something that's wonderful and infuriating. We're both not above putting a little spin on the truth to protect the people we love.
L: Thank you but that still doesn't excuse the fact that I lied about what happened. I really, really hurt him.
V: Yes, but...but he's very strong.
L: How is Kevin?
V: Oh miserable without you.
L: Well, thank yu for saying that but I know him so well, and I know how angry he is about this.
V: Well I'll just have to keep working on him.
(Back to the Lighthouse where Kevin is looking through Lucy's photo album when low and behold here comes a series of flashbacks has "When a Man Loves A Woman" plays in the backround)
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad he can't see it she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he puts her down
(Thanksgiving Duck - 1994)
L: Oh, no, is this my thanksgiving duck?
K: Yes it is.
L: Oh my gosh! What is he wearing around his neck?
K: Oh this is just a little something he picked up on his travels.
L: Those are diamonds aren't they? Those...It's a diamond. It's diamonds. Wait a minute. Those are real diamonds. Oh!
He'd give up all his comforts
(The proposal - 1997)
K: Will you marry me?
L: No. I can't because, you know you're unemployed, and you are a bit of a fruitcake and you leave your clothes all over the roo kinda right on topof mineand you're just a big mess. And as an evolved woman mtself, I don't think I could marry...
When a man loves a woman, yeah
(The Miscarriage - 1997)
Doctor: I'm not hearing the baby's heartbeat.
I give you everything thing I got
Oh, trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, baby, please
(The Almost Wedding - 1998)
K: You lied to me! Lucy, I asked you point-blank if you had anything to do with that accident, and you lied to me!
L: You have a right to be very angry with me
K: I wish anger was all I felt, right now, I feel like I don't even know you.
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
