Dean
Well... if there is a higher power, then... why is it he can't get you a new sweater??
Jamie
He's too busy looking for your brain.
A line from 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.

Jamie
People can see.
Landon
And that would ruin your reputation how?
Jamie
I'm sick.
Landon
I'll take you home. You'll be be...
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 go on and live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
Landon
Including me?
Jamie
Especially you!
Landon
I might kiss you.
Jamie
I might be bad at it.
Landon
That's not possible
Jamie
You're acting like a crazy person, what's going on?
Landon
Right now, you're straddling the state line.
Jamie
[confused]
Okay...
Landon
You're in two places at once.
Jamie
[Landon lays out a blanket for he and Jamie to sit on as they stargaze]
Are you trying to seduce me?
Landon
Why? Are you seducible?
Jamie
No.
Landon
Ah, I didn't think so. Ergot: [pulls something out of his backpack] A second blanket.
Landon
[upset]
Are you scared?
Jamie
To death... [Landon still looks upset] Lighten up.
Landon
It's not funny.
Jamie
I'm scared of not being with you.
Landon
Oh baby, that'll never happen... I'll be here.
Landon
Do you love me?
Landon
[she nods]
Will you do something for me, then?
Jamie
[smiles]
Anything.
Landon
Will you marry me?
[Jamie smiles and kisses him]
Landon
I'm sorry Jamie never got her miracle.
Reverend Sullivan
She did. It was you.
Landon
I need help with my lines.
Jamie
Okay, I'll pray for you.
Jamie
Dad, look at me. I'm not a child.
Reverend Sullivan
Then stop acting childish!
Jamie
I love him.
Reverend Sullivan
Then be fair to him, Jamie - before things get worse.
Landon
Jamie... I love you. [long pause] Now would be the time to say something.
Jamie
I told you not to fall in love with me.
Jamie
You don't know the first thing of being someone's friends.
Landon
I don't want just to be your friend.
Jamie
You don't know what you want...
Landon
And neither do you! Maybe you're too scared that someone might actually want to be with you.
Jamie
And why would that scare me?
Landon
Because you can't hide in your book, in...in your freakin' telescope, or your faith... [Jamie turns away] No, no...you know the real reason why you are scared? It's because you want to be with me, too.
Jamie
You...
Landon
Me...
Jamie
[long pause]
What is this?
Landon
I got you something.
Jamie
Thank you.
Landon
Well, I'll see you at school.
Jamie
Okay.
Landon
Jamie, I'm sorry, okay? They're animals, sorry? Let me take you home? [Jamie nods] Let's get out of here... [long pause] Are you sure you're okay?
Jamie
Uhm, I'm fine...Thank you for everything.
Landon
No, you're welcome...Hey, I want to ask you something.
Jamie
Okay.
Landon
Will you...go out with me? On Saturday night?
Jamie
I'm sorry, I can't...go.
Landon
Oh...you have...something's going on?
Jamie
It's not that.
Landon
So what's this?
Jamie
I'm not allowed to date.
