Old Gray - Six Years

[Sound clip from the pilot episode of Freaks & Geeks]

[Lindsay:] Sam. Did Mom and Dad tell you I was the only one with Grandma when she died?

[Sam:] No.

[Lindsay:] Yeah. They went down to the cafeteria to get some coffee. And all the sudden Grandma looked so terrified. I didn’t know what to do. She grabbed my hand, told me she didn’t want to go. She looked so scared, Sam. I said, Well, you know, can you see God or Heaven or a light or anything?

[Sam:] What did she say?

[Lindsay:] No. There’s nothing.

[End of sound clip]

[Raphael:] If I close my eyes for a breath too long, can I ever wake up again, or will i sleep for good? Can you see me in your dreams? Can you see me in your sleep? At times I get so lonely, but I guess you wouldn’t know- the person I miss most is you six years ago. And at times I hear you’re smiling and I think I understand why I thought you threw away everything you had.

[Raphael and Casey:] This time next year, will I have the courage to say, “I’m sorry- are you still proud of me?”
