Dean: If there is a greater power, why is it he can't get you a new sweater?
Jamie: Because, he's too busy looking for your brain.
Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: 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.
Landon: I might kiss you.
Jamie: I might be bad at it.
Landon: That's not possible.
Landon: Right now you're straddling the state line
Jamie: ok
Landon: You're in two places at once
Jamie: You have to promise that you won't fall in love with me
Landon: That's not a problem
Jamie: Are you trying to seduce me?
Landon: Why? Are you seducible?
Jamie: Please don't pretend like you know me, ok?
Landon: But I do, I do. We've had all the same classes in the same school since kindergarten. Why you're Jamie Sullivan. You sit at lunch table 7. Which isn't exactly the reject table, but is definitely in self exile territory. You have exactly one sweater. You like to look at your feet when you walk. Oh oh ,and yeah, for fun, you like to tutor on weekends and hang out with the cool kids from "Stars and Planets." Now how does that sound?
Jamie: Fairly predictable, nothing I haven't heard before.
Landon: So what's the deal huh? You don't care what people think about you?
Jamie: No
Dr. Carter: Landon don't walk away.
Landon: You taught me how.
Landon: Are you scared?
Jamie: To death...
Landon looks upset
Jamie: Lighten up.
Landon: It's not funny.
Jamie: I'm scared of not being with you.
Landon: Oh baby, that will never happen... I'm here.
Landon: I just wish she would have gotten her miracle.
Reverend Sullivan: She did. You were her miracle.
Jamie: So, you don't care about classes or graduation, but you like school because your popular and you'll never be on top again.
Landon: That's thoroughly predictable.
Jamie: Your act only works on an audience.
Jamie: Without suffering there would be no compassion.
Landon: Yeah, well tell that to those who suffer.
Jamie: would it kill you to try
Landon: yes and I'm too young to die
Jamie: people can see
Landon: and that would ruin your reputation how?
Landon: Listen Jamie I was hoping we could run lines together?
Jamie: Okay but just not so anybody knows right?
Landon: We'll I just figured we could surprise everyone with how good I get.
Jamie: Like we could be secret friends.
Landon: Exactly, exactly it's like your reading my mind.
Jamie: Great umm... maybe you could read mine.
Landon: Listen Jamie I can't just be your friend.
Jamie: Look, Landon I thought I saw something in you, something good, but I was very wrong.
Landon: Jaime, I'm trying here. Maybe I miss spending time with you. Maybe you inspire me.
Jamie: Sounds like bull.
Landon: Which part?
Jamie: All of it.
Landon: Well it's not!
Jamie: prove it.
Jamie: You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend.
Landon: I don't just want to be your friend.
Jamie: You don't know what you want.
Landon: Neither do you. Maybe you're just scared that someone might just want to be with you.
Jamie: And why would that scare me?
Landon: Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, your fricken telescope, or your faith. No, you know the real reason why you're scared? It's cause you wanna be with me too.
Landon: Can you find this star, right here?
Jamie: So why am I looking for this star?
Landon: Because I had it named for you.
Landon: See it's official. It's from the national star registry.
Jamie: This is wonderful......I love you
Landon: Hey. How are you feeling?
Jamie: I'm ok, how are you?
Landon: Pretty good.
Jamie: I have something for you.
Landon: You do?
Jamie: Uh hmm.. Don't worry it's not a bible. It was my mother's. It's got quotes from all her favorite books, and quotes by famous people. Her thoughts. Come on.
Landon: Okay, let's check it out. Okay, what is a friend? A friend is a soul dwelling in two bodies. Aristotle.
Jamie: Uh uh, here.
Landon: Okay. Know who you are, and do it on purpose. It's Dolly Parton.
Jamie: I always thought she was smart.
Landon: 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.
Landon: I love you…
Long pause
Jamie: I told you not to fall in love with me.
Landon: I'm sorry she never got her miracle.
Reverend Sullivan: She did, it was you.
Eric: Hey man, tell her to maybe do West Side Story, you know get that nice big booty lookin' girl from Selena, "Maria, Maria!"
Landon: Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything I know faith, hope and the long road ahead. I'll always miss her. Her love is like the wind. I can't see it but I can feel it.
Landon: Do you love me?
nods
Landon: Then will you do something for me?
smiles
Landon: Then will you marry me?
smiles
Jamie: Landon, I've known you for years and you're not the type of person to walk up to say hello.
Jamie: I'm sick.
Landon: I'll take you home. You'll be fi -
Jamie: No. Landon! I'm sick. I have Leukemia.
Landon: No. You're 18. You - you're perfect.
Jamie: No. I found out two years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments.
Landon: So . . . Why didn't you tell me?
Jamie: The doctor said I should live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
Landon: Including me?
Jamie: Especially you!
Jamie looks down.
Landon gets upset
Jamie: I was getting along fine. I'd accepted it and then you happened!
Jamie runs away
at the hospital
Reverend Sullivan: Do you remember when you were about five or six and you said you hated gravity? And you wanted to jump off the roof and fly?
Jamie: I was so angry at you for making me come down.
Reverend Sullivan: Honey, if I kept you too close it's because I wanted to keep you longer. You know, when I lost your mother, I was afraid that my heart would never open again. Jamie, I couldn't look at you for days.
Clay Gephardt: You know what? I actually thought I wanted to be your friend. And now I have no idea why. No idea.
Landon: I made that jump once. Thought I was a bad *beep*. I remember actually saying that I meant to belly-flop.
Clay Gephardt: Did it hurt?
Landon: Like hell.
Clay Gephardt: Good.
Eric: Talk to me man.
Landon: About what?
Eric: About you, about Jamie.
Landon: What's there to talk about? She's the best person I've ever known.
Jamie: I do not need a reason to be angry with God.
Landon: What'd you tell your father?
Jamie: The truth. I just left you out of it.
