Mr. Harper: You know, my friends used to say, that when Dee Dee and I looked at each other, it was electric. And I...I let her go. I just let her go. Because I was too damn proud to tell her how I really felt about her. I'll tell you something, that I wish I knew when I was your age. And I know you've heard it a million times life is short. But let me tell you something. What this...this.....is teaching me, is that life is God damn short and you can't waste a minute of it!

Dylan: I think I messed it up. 

Mr. Harper: Fix it. 

Dylan: She won't talk to me. 

Mr. Harper: Maybe she'll listen. There's always a way. If you think, there's even a chance that she could be it. You fix it.
