• Zeek Braverman : [Zeek takes Amber to the auto recycling yard, to see the wreck of the car she was riding during the accident]  Recognize it?

  Amber Holt : Yeah, it's _the_ car... It's Gary's car.

  Zeek Braverman : Mm-hmm. Come here. Take a look... You lookin'?

  Amber Holt : [sniffs]  Yeah. I see it.

  Zeek Braverman : Amber, you know, I was 2 years in Vietnam. Do you know what I thought about? What I dreamt about? Was comin' home. And having a family. Having grandkids. I dreamt you, Amber. And Haddie. And Drew. And Sydney, Jabbar, and Max. And we almost lost you, Amber. I know: you've had some bad breaks. Not feelin' good about yourself. You didn't get into Berkeley? Well, boo-freakin'-hoo. You gotta suck it up, girl. You're a Braverman. You've got my blood in your veins. You ever do something like this again - you even _think_ about doing something like this, I will personally kick your little butt all the way from here to the Golden Gate Bridge. You do _not_ have my permission to mess with my dreams. Are we clear?

  Amber Holt : [starts sobbing]  I'm sorry!

  [Zeek hugs Amber, as she continues sobbing] 

  Amber Holt : I'm sorry-hy-hy!

  [Amber continues sobbing] 

  Zeek Braverman : Good...

  [They walk away from the car] 

  Zeek Braverman : I'll buy you a burger.
