-Jamie. Hi. -Hi.
Listen, I just want you to know, no hard feelings.
Landon and I are way over.
I really don't know what you're talking about.
You'd be so beautiful...
...if you knew how to do your makeup.
-Come on, eat lunch with me. -Okay.
-Want a Tic Tac? -No, thanks.
Okay.
Wow.
Is that you?
Nice bod.
Look, this is about me, okay? This is not you.
Stay here.
Hey, man, no wonder you been keeping her locked up.
I had no idea this was underneath all that.
-Dean, stop! -You stay out of this!
-We're through. We're through. -That's great.
-We're through forever! -You okay?
-You made a mistake, Landon! -You sure?
Let's get out of here.
Hey! You're a little chickenshit!
Baby, I'm sorry. Okay?
They're animals, all right?
You want me to take you home?
Let's get out of here.
-Are you sure you're okay? -I'm fine.
-Thank you for everything. -You're welcome.
-I want to ask you something. -Okay.
Will you go out with me on Saturday night?
I'm sorry. I can't go.
-You have something else going on? -No.
-It's not that. -Then what is it?
I'm not allowed to date.
"Do not be deceived. God is not mocked.
Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
For he who sows to his flesh, will of the flesh reap--"
-Can I help you? -Yes, sir.
I'd like to ask your daughter to dinner on Saturday night.
That's not possible.
With all due respect, sir, I ask you to reconsider.
With all due respect, Mr. Carter, I made my decision.
You can exit the way you entered.
I'm sorry I haven't treated Jamie the way I should have.
She deserves more than that.
I'm asking you for the same thing...
...you teach us every day in church.
And that's faith.
I can't believe you asked permission.
It's no big deal. He was cool about it, anyway.
-Thank you. -This is for you.
-Thank you very much. -Would you like something to drink?
-Sweet tea, please. -Make that two.
Right away.
This place is really nice. Is this okay?
-Don't even worry about it, okay? -Okay.
Choose whatever you want.
So, what'll it be?
Is everything okay?
-Thank you very much. -Yeah, me too. Thanks.
Would you like to dance?
Sorry, I don't dance.
Me neither. I mean, not usually in front of anybody.
Well, no. I mean, I don't at all. As in, I can't.
Everybody can dance.
Come on, you can't be that bad.
Please?
For me?
Come on.
Sorry, I told you I was bad at this.
-In all fairness, you warned me, right? -That's right.
So, what's number one on your list?
Okay.
Number one on my list is getting out of Beaufort.
Getting out won't be your problem.
It's more like figuring out what to do when you get somewhere.
What do you mean?
I mean, you can do anything.
-Where are we going? -Just hold on, you'll see.
Come on, come on. Let's go!
-What are we doing? -Run!
-Okay, okay. Stand there. -All right.
-One foot there, and one foot here. -Okay.
You're acting crazy. What's going on?
Right now, you're straddling the state line.
Okay.
You're in two places at once.
Okay, butterfly, rosebud or star?
You choose.
-Butterfly. -Okay.
Where do you want it?
Right here.
Okay.
How can you see places like this...
...and have moments like this, and not believe?
You're lucky to be so sure.
It's like the wind.
I can't see it, but I feel it.
What do you feel?
I feel wonder and beauty...
...joy, love.
I mean, it's the center of everything.
I might kiss you.
I might be bad at it.
That's not possible.
I love you.
Now would be the time to say something.
I told you not to fall in love with me.
Jamie. Say good night to Mr. Carter.
Landon, go home. The night's over.
-Good night. -Good night.
Good night, sir.
Jamie, your behavior's sinful.
-You act with that boy like you're-- -In love?
-Jamie, you are a child. -Dad, look at me...
-...l'm not a child. -Then stop acting childish.
I love him.
Then be fair to him, Jamie, before things get worse.
-Hey. -Hey.
-Will you help me? -Yeah.
So, what did you tell your father?
The truth. I just left you out of it.
So, what do you want to see?
Pluto.
Pluto only rises a few minutes before the sun.
Right...
...and I have brought us a thermos of hot coffee...
...and a blanket.
-You planned this. -Oh, I hoped for it.
Are you trying to seduce me?
Why? Are you seducible?
That's what I thought...
...ergo, a second blanket.
-One for me, and one for you. -Thank you.
-Can you find this star right here? -Sure.
So why am I looking for this star?
Because I had it named for you.
See?
It's official.
It's from the lnternational Star Registry.
This is wonderful!
I love you.
Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm stopping.
So, what's your number one?
To marry in the church where my mother grew up.
That's where my parents were married.
-Did you just get in? -Yeah.
Thank heavens I didn't know. I'd have been panicked.
Sorry.
Landon, were you with Jamie?
Landon, be careful. She's the reverend's daughter.
-Mom-- -Please!
It's different with her.
-It's different with her. -Yes.
It better be different with her.
I was doing laundry the other day, and I found this.
"Examine a moon rock.
Go to college.
Get into medical school."
Honey, these are really beautiful ambitions.
-But you'll have to work really hard. -I can do that.
Yeah, you can.
Mama...
...Jamie has faith in me.
You know?
She makes me want to be different.
Better.
I was so drunk, I don't remember anything.
That's great. Citizen high to citizen low.
Are you worried about your college applications?
No.
I'm not applying.
-I thought you said-- -No, you assumed.
-Take a year off, try the Peace Corps? -No.
What are you gonna do?
I'm sick.
-I'll take you home, you'll be-- -No, Landon!
I'm sick.
I have leukemia.
No.
-You're 18, you're perfect. -No.
I found out two years ago. I've stopped responding to treatments.
So why didn't you tell me?
The doctor said I should live life normally, as best I could.
I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
-Including me? -Especially you!
I was getting along fine. I accepted it, and then you happened!
I do not need a reason to be angry with God.
Dad, open the door!
Landon?
-I need your help. -What's wrong? You okay?
It's my girlfriend, Jamie. She's....
She's got cancer. And I need you to come and see her right now.
Okay, calm down.
-Can you help me or not? -I don't know her case.
I don't know her history. I'm a cardiologist. I can't--
You know, just forget it. I knew it.
Would you wait? Landon, wait!
Your mom called me.
Talk to me, man.
About what?
About you...
...about Jamie.
What's there to talk about?
She's the best person I've ever known.
I didn't understand.
It's okay, man.
It's okay.
It's so nice to see you again. You're welcome. Watch yourself now.
I'm not going anywhere.
Please tell Jamie that.
I'm so sorry. I really should have told you sooner.
I made you do too many things--
If anything, you kept me healthy longer.
Are you scared?
To death.
Lighten up.
It's not funny.
I'm scared of not being with you.
Oh, baby, that will never happen.
I'll be here.
Mom.
Can you do me a favor?
So I talked to Eric.
Need some help with this stuff?
Sure.
What's that boy doing in the yard?
What's the matter? Jamie, honey?
Landon. Run along, son.
I'm not tired.
I need just a minute with her.
-I'll be back, okay? -Okay.
Daddy...
...so serious.
Do you remember when you were about 5 or 6...
...and you said you hated gravity...
...and you wanted to jump off the roof and fly?
I was so angry at you for making me come down.
Honey, if I kept you too close, it's because I wanted to keep you longer.
Dad....
You know, when I lost your mother...
...l was afraid that my heart would never open again.
Jamie, I couldn't look at you for days.
But then....
I love you so much.
I wanted to give you these.
The pictures from the play.
-I'm sorry about the flyers. -It doesn't matter.
I guess you're with who you should be.
It's like she chose you.
Yeah, I don't even know why.
I do.
How you feeling?
-I'm okay. How are you? -Pretty good.
-I have something for you. -You do?
Don't worry, it's not a Bible.
It was my mother's. It's got quotes from her favorite books...
...and quotes by famous people. Her thoughts.
-Come on. -Okay, let's check it out.
"What is a friend?
It's a single soul dwelling in two bodies. Aristotle."
-Right here. -Okay.
"Find out who you are...
...and do it on purpose."
That's Dolly Parton.
I always thought she was smart.
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful."
-You know what I figured out today? -What?
Maybe God...
...has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself.
Like, this journey never ends.
Like, you were sent to me because I'm sick.
To help me through all this.
You're my angel.
What's going on?
I get to go home. Please thank your father for me.
-What does she mean? -He's been trying to reach you.
He's going to pay for private home care.
Thank you.
Sorry.
It's all right, son.
-I gotta finish this tonight. -Here, something hot.
Almost finished. Did you order the mirrors?
-Yeah, they're in here. -Good.
-What about side bearings? -An old phonographic turntable.
So you think you can get all this done by tomorrow?
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
It's beautiful.
Okay, it's time. Go check it out.
There it is.
Come here. Come look.
Come here. Come look, quick.
That is cool.
Do you love me?
-Will you do something for me then? -Anything.
Will you marry me?
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous."
-I love you. -"Love is never boastful nor conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins...
...but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope...
...and to endure...
...whatever comes."
-I, Landon Rollins Carter... -I, Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan...
...do solemnly swear...
-...to take Jamie Sullivan... -...to take Landon Rollins Carter...
-...as my wife. -...as my husband.
To honor and to cherish her, all the days of my life.
Jamie and I had a perfect summer together...
... with more love than lots of people know in a lifetime.
And then she went, with her unfailing faith.
It's been four years...
...but the vision ofJamie walking towards me...
... will stay with me forever.
Hello, Mr. Carter. Come in.
-Have a seat, please. -Thank you.
Landon.
-You look good. -Thank you. You too.
I'm getting by.
-What's new, Landon? -Well, I got into medical school.
Your mother told me that.
We're so proud of you. Jamie would have been proud of you too.
Listen.
I want you to have this.
Oh, Landon.
Oh, my.
Thank you.
I'm sorry she never got her miracle.
She did.
It was you.
Jamie saved my life.
She taught me everything.
About life, hope...
...and the long journey ahead.
I'll always miss her.
But our love is like the wind.
I can't see it...
...but I can feel it.
