Wade: Let your father know who you really are. Look, I had regrets when my dad died. But because of you, I learned to embrace the light while it burns. [speaks Firish] Tìshôk. You don't have forever to say what you need to say. I love you, Ember Lumen. [the crowd gasps and murmurs at hearing what he said] And I'm pretty sure you love me, too.
Ember: No, Wade, I don't.
Cinder: That's not true! I did their reading! Bernie, it's love. It's true love.
Ember: [denying it] No, Mom, you're wrong. [turns to Wade] Wade, go.
Wade: But Ember--
Ember: I DON'T LOVE YOU! GO! [sobs in anger]
[Wade sadly sets the glass Vivisteria flower in front of her and leaves, heartbroken]
Bernie: [angry that Ember saw Wade behind her father's back] You have been seeing water?! [coughs]
Ember: Àshfá, I--
Bernie: [angrily] You caused leak IN SHOP?!?! I trusted you! You will not take over the shop. [coughs; to the audience] I no longer retire! [Cinder and the audience all gasp at this]
Ember: No, Wade, I don't.
Cinder: That's not true! I did their reading! Bernie, it's love. It's true love.
Ember: [denying it] No, Mom, you're wrong. [turns to Wade] Wade, go.
Wade: But Ember--
Ember: I DON'T LOVE YOU! GO! [sobs in anger]

Ember: Wade is gone.
Cinder: Oh, my daughter. [walks over to her for comfort]
Ember: He saved me. [stands up on her feet and approaches her father; tearfully] Dad? This is all my fault. The shop, Wade... [breaks down, sobbing softly] I need to tell you the truth. I don't want to run the shop. I know that was your dream, but it's not mine. I'm sorry. [holds up the blue flame in the lantern to give to him] I'm a bad daughter. [sobs]
Bernie: Ember… the shop was never the dream. You were the dream. You were always the dream.
Ember: [feeling touched by what her father said, she hugs him; still sobbing] I loved him, Dad. [continues sobbing as Cinder joins the family hug]
[As the family embraces tightly, Wade is heard crying distantly but is nowhere to be seen. The fire people turn towards the hearth, Ember stands as a drop of water emerges out of the debris blocking the chimney and straight into a pot. Furrowing her brow, Ember looks up at the ceiling]
Ember: Butterfly. [Nothing happens] Butterfly. Windshield wipers. Half a butterfly. [two more droplets appear on the ceiling and fall into the pot; smiles hopefully, realizing the situation, playing "The Crying Game"] An old man on his deathbed remembers the summer he fell in love. [several more droplets appear and fall into the pot, as it appears if it was raining directly into the pot; continuing] She was out of his league, and he was young and [laughs] scared. [even more big water droplets appear and move towards the center of the ceiling] He let her go, think surely summer would come again. It never did!
[Wade sobs even harder as more droplets fall into the pot, filling it with water]
Cinder: You are perfect match. 10 out of 10!
[Wade sobs loudly while the downpour halfway fills the pot, as Bernie wears a confused look]
Bernie: I don't understand. What's going on?
Cinder: Just say something to make Water Guy cry, okay?
Bernie: Um...Uh... You are no longer panned.
Wade: [tearfully correcting him] Banned.
Bernie: Banned.
[Wade sobs very loudly]
Ember: I want to explore the world with you, Wade Ripple. I want to have you with me in my life, forever.
[The streams of water slow, and the last drop falls into the fully filled pot, Ember peers inside, and two eyes appear in the water, followed by a smile, gaps in excitement as Wade's body takes shape as he stands in the pot]
Wade: [astonished] Whoa. [picks up shirt and smiles in embarrassment] Your, uh, chimney needs cleaning. [Ember gasps and pants happily as she jumps into Wade's arms, and a sizzling sound is heard; Wade and Ember stare lovingly into each other's eyes, and they kiss romantically]
