Jennifer Love Hewitt: Sarah Reeves

Quotes 

• [the family is in the skating rink, Bailey is skating with Sarah, Julia talks to Griffin who is outside] 

  Sarah Reeves : Help!

  [squeals] 

  Sarah Reeves : Hey, Bailey! Bailey, slow down. Slow down.

  [they pass near Julia] 

  Sarah Reeves : Julia, make him stop!

  Julia Salinger : [to Griffin]  No warning? You just walked in, and he fired you. Well, did he at least give you a reason?

  Griffin Holbrook : Something about my attitude. He expects me to treat every customer like they're my best friend or something. I don't know. Who cares?

  Julia Salinger : Well, maybe if you apologized

  Griffin Holbrook : To him? Forget it. He should be apologizing to me. So you wanna blow this place, or what?

  [suddenly, Kirsten takes Julia's hand, while skating along Charlie, Sarah and Bailey] 

  Julia Salinger : Oh, my God!

  [she squeals and the family laughs] 

  Claudia Salinger : Pick me up!

  [Julia takes Claudia's hand but after a while inadvertently lets her go] 

  Julia Salinger : Claudia!

  [she crashes with her arms against the wall] 

• [Bailey reaches Sarah at school] 

  Sarah Reeves : Thought you'd be in Seattle by now.

  Bailey Salinger : The idea wasn't to go alone.

  Sarah Reeves : I'm not like that, you know. I have a life. I can't just leave.

  Bailey Salinger : Look, I just... I just thought it would be fun. You know? I just wanted us to have a little fun.

  Sarah Reeves : So why does that suddenly mean different things than it used to?

  Bailey Salinger : I don't...

  [sighs] 

  Bailey Salinger : Look... The way we were before, there were parts of me that you didn't know, and there are probably a lot of parts of you that I didn't know, and the whole thing of being together is, like, finding out those other parts. And I don't know, I guess sometimes for me that means being spontaneous. What's wrong with that?

  Sarah Reeves : Nothing, I guess. So?

  Bailey Salinger : So then let's just relax a little, okay? And have some fun. I mean, isn't that the point?

  Sarah Reeves : Yeah.

  Bailey Salinger : Yes?

  Sarah Reeves : Yes.

  [they laugh] 

• [Sarah enters the restaurant and Bailey welcomes her, while the band plays Cruel Spell] 

  Bailey Salinger : Hey. I'm glad you came.

  Sarah Reeves : Yeah, well.

  Bailey Salinger : Look, I've been thinking a lot about some of the stuff you were saying about how we've been, about how I've been. And... I think you were right. I think I haven't been paying attention to you

  Sarah Reeves : Stop.

  Bailey Salinger : What?

  Sarah Reeves : Don't. 'Cause you can't really pay attention to someone when you're wishing she's someone else.

  Bailey Salinger : Excuse me?

  Sarah Reeves : I'm not her Bailey. I'm not Jill.

  Bailey Salinger : What are you talking about?

  Sarah Reeves : Well, that's what you been doing here. You've been trying to have the relationship you had with her with me.

  Bailey Salinger : What?

  Sarah Reeves : The road trip, cutting school... I mean, all that stuff has nothing to do with me at all. It's just stuff that you did with her, you know? It's Jill's stuff.

  Bailey Salinger : I don't know. I don't know. Maybe... Maybe I thought you would like that stuff too.

  Sarah Reeves : You know what really confuses me? Is that relationship wasn't good, Bailey. I mean, she was a mess. You were unhappy. You know and it ended so, so badly. So I don't get why you'd choose that over being happy with me. I... I really don't see why that's appealing.

  Bailey Salinger : Sarah... I'm sorry. I don't know

  Sarah Reeves : Hey, it's okay. It is. I just don't think stuff, you know, should be this hard. I mean look at us. It's brand-new, and already it's so difficult. So... we should just... not. Because you're great, but you're not ready. That's too bad.

  [looking around the restaurant and the band playing] 

  Sarah Reeves : This place looks really cool. Tell Charlie I said so, okay?

  [she leaves and Bailey remains stunned]
