Emily VanCamp: Amy Abbott

Quotes 

• Tommy Callahan : [Amy moves through the crowd, carrying a cup and her coat, clearly bored. She walks past Tommy Callahan, not noticing he's there. She sits down on some steps]  You still in a hurry? Three sightings in two days. It's gotta mean something.

  Amy Abbott : Sorry. I didn't see you there.

  [She gets up, away from Tommy] 

  Tommy Callahan : It's OK.

  [She turns back towards Tommy] 

  Tommy Callahan : I'm Tommy, by the way.

  Amy Abbott : Yeah, I know who you are.

  Tommy Callahan : You know, you probably shouldn't drink that. Alcohol doesn't mix well with, um... you know, you could get really sick.

  Amy Abbott : Yeah, I know. It's soda. And it's actually none of your business, so...

  Tommy Callahan : Sorry. I didn't mean to be an ass. I just - I... I usually don't know anything worth anything, so when I do, I have to say it.

  Amy Abbott : Well, it's good to know that your expertise lies in knowing which kind of drugs and alcohol don't mix.

  [Tommy laughs] 

  Tommy Callahan : What's your name?

  Amy Abbott : Amy.

  Tommy Callahan : Amy. Amy, do you maybe want to continue this conversation somewhere that doesn't have a keg?

  Amy Abbott : I don't think that's a good idea.

  Tommy Callahan : Why, are you afraid you're gonna miss out on this incredible party?

  Amy Abbott : Yeah, right.

  Tommy Callahan : So what's the worse that could happen?

  Amy Abbott : I don't know. You could be boring.

  [Tommy laughs] 

  Tommy Callahan : I tell you what - if I'm more boring than this party, I'll give you something of mine to keep. Here. How about my cellphone?

  [Tommy hands Amy his cell] 

  Amy Abbott : Does it come with a headset?

  [They walk to the front door. Tommy opens the front door for Amy and she goes through it] 

• Tommy Callahan : [Cut to a record store. Tommy and Amy are browsing. Tommy picks out a Leonard Cohen vinyl]  This guy is my hero - poet turned songwriter turned Buddhist. Went from living a completely indulgent musician's lifestyle that took him all over the world to monking out on Mount Baldy. "Chelsea Hotel" is just about the most amazing song ever written. You need to own this album.

  Amy Abbott : I don't have a record player. Does it come in a CD?

  Tommy Callahan : How can you not have a record player? This pains me.

  Amy Abbott : Well, it's not like they're that easy to find. Where did you get yours?

  Tommy Callahan : My grandma left me hers after she died. That's the only thing I ever got from anyone.

  Amy Abbott : What about for Christmas or your birthday or whatever?

  Tommy Callahan : Uh, I don't want to bum you out with the details of my, uh, "E! True Hollywood Story."

  [beat] 

  Tommy Callahan : But I wouldn't mind hearing yours.

  Amy Abbott : I don't have any sad stories.

  Tommy Callahan : Right.

• Tommy Callahan : [Fade to Amy and Tommy eating at a booth in Mama Joy's]  You know, a lot of people are on antidepressants. It's not a big deal.

  Amy Abbott : It is to some people.

  Tommy Callahan : Yeah, well, those people, I don't think they understand depression. I mean, I know what it's like to want to escape your mind and your body and... your entire life.

  Amy Abbott : Yeah, I can tell. But I never really got into the whole drug thing, so...

  [Tommy starts laughing] 

  Amy Abbott : Why are you laughing?

  Tommy Callahan : Yeah, well, I'm guessing you heard the whole "meth addict" rumor.

  Amy Abbott : So you never -

  Tommy Callahan : Meth? No. Pot, yeah.

  Tommy Callahan : [Fade to Tommy and Amy walking along train tracks]  And I drank a lot, and then I wound up in rehab, which, I mean, it sucked at first, but it helped, you know? I'm clean now. My brain works. Well, barely.

  [They both laugh] 

  Tommy Callahan : So, um, you want to know what I heard about you?

  Amy Abbott : You didn't hear anything about me. You didn't even know my name until I told you, remember?

  Tommy Callahan : That's right. I forgot about that.

  Amy Abbott : [They laugh again. They are now sitting on a bench]  But what were you going to say? I'm just curious.

  Tommy Callahan : Well, um, I was gonna say that I heard you were the prettiest, most popular girl at County High. But you didn't care about that anymore. You... checked your tiara at the door the day your boyfriend died and...... you've been wandering the halls alone ever since...... looking for... something or... someone to fill the void and take all the sadness away.

  Tommy Callahan : [Thunder rumbles]  Here. Take this.

  [Tommy hands Amy his coat]
