Dream sequence
She has that smile, her infectious smile that made me stay. I want to know her more. In one or more ways. She saved me from myself. I met her for a reason.
Cece: dum dee dum dee dum ( tune) lah lah lah...
Joseph: You look happy today. (hugs cece from behind) What are you singing?
Cece: hahaha. Nothing, it's something i just came up.
Last night: Bar table
Joseph: I can't explain it. I don't know hat i'm suppose to feel. Meeting you, i wasn't expecting any of this. Touching my face all of a sudden. That feeling, that warm overwhelming feeling.
Cece: You're that bad huh. When i saw you, you looked like any other bully, loud, arrogant and obnoxious. I hated your guts. You insulted my friends, tried taking stephanie away from us. Hurting chris. I'm not just going to let you do as you please. So i did what needs to be done. Put you in your place.
Joseph: And you did. Stopped me dead in my tracks. My job was to track down and bring back miss stephanie back to her father. I was determined to bring her back, i will do anything to take her and nothing will stop me from achieving it. But at what cost. I owed stephanie's father everything.
Cece: You don't owe him anything. You had a choice, you chose the other way.
Joseph: And it all thanks to you. If it weren't for you cece, i would've takened steph away from her friends. Breaking the bond you all created. I'd be the one destroying it. You made me see things.
Cece: See that's not so hard. And looking in your eyes, made me see the different you. You weren't born the way you are. We blame ourselves for the unpleasant things that happened in our life.
Joseph: Life is unfair. Made me loose hope on countless occasions. But you made me realize there is still hope. In these few hours you made me forget of all that's happening.
Cece: You're welcome. Forget? Why would you want to forget.
Joseph: Forget everything that has happened, start over. Find love if its possible. Everytime i pick a bottle, that seems to help. Numbs everything.
Cece: Like now. (picks up drink) Unfortunately its temporary and sooner or later it's coming back. no matter what you do it will comeback. I came to terms when i met linda and james. With the help of kira, robin, lexi, stephanie even chris. Happiness and peace is achievable. Maybe that's what you need Joseph.
Joseph: Happiness... not for the likes of me. Whatever i do i only cause pain and misery. To myself and to others. Definitely not for me. It's a pipedream girl.
Cece: Girl? I ain't some teenager buster. And it ain't a pipedream, you just need a push to the right direction. If you continue thinking that, then it will only be just a dream to you. And that everything is only temporary. (sighs)
