Shane McInerney
- Oliver O'Toole: [Finds Shane in the chapel] Well, I uh, certainly didn't expect to find you in here.
- Shane McInerney: Neither did I.
- [Fighting tears]
- Shane McInerney: I was just so... grateful.
- Oliver O'Toole: When I was up on that mountain, I was so afraid. I was afraid I was going to lose my dad. Afraid I might not get off the mountain. Afraid that I had waited too long to start my life over. Every woman in my life who truly mattered has broken my heart. So I learned to stop taking chances because I never wanted to feel that way again. But last night when I thought I might not see the sunrise I started to pray. I prayed for the chance to live long enough to be here right now to tell you that I hope our first date isn't our last. That life is too short to only drink YooHoo. That I'm ready to try a bee pollen ginger kumbacha smoothie...
- Shane McInerney: [Interrupts] Kombucha
- Oliver O'Toole: Kombucha. And I'm also ready to tell you I know you don't believe in miracles...
- Shane McInerney: [Interrupts with a hand to his check] You'd be surprised what I'm starting to believe.
- Oliver O'Toole: [Takes her hand and kisses it] Thank you for saving my life.
- Shane McInerney: Did Oliver ever tell you his divine delivery theory?
- Joe O'Toole: Uh-uh.
- Oliver O'Toole: I didn't know I had one.
- Shane McInerney: You know that we don't find the dead letters they find us just in time to be delivered. I call it Oliver's divine delivery theory.
- Joe O'Toole: You guys believe every letter that finds you is on some supernatural schedule?
- Oliver O'Toole: Yes.
- Shane McInerney: Well some of us believe and some of us are open to it.
- Oliver O'Toole: Miss McInerney, what's all this?
- Shane McInerney: What you said today about passports and visas and preparing for the journey.
- Oliver O'Toole: It was a metaphor too far, perhaps, yes.
- Shane McInerney: Oliver you made us think about things that people don't like to think about. And yet somehow you didn't make it scary, you just made it matter.
- Oliver O'Toole: Oh well thank you.
- Shane McInerney: I'm not a church person like you are. But what I do know is that you need to spend quality time with your dad. And you can't wait to lose a bet to do that.
- Oliver O'Toole: Oh I don't intend to lose the bet.
- Shane McInerney: But it doesn't matter. Because even if you win you still lose. I don't get to have that ginger kombucha smoothie with Eleanor now because I thought I had time. And your dad's not that old but you've lost so much time with him already. So I've packed your bags.
- Oliver O'Toole: You're sending me to camp?
- Shane McInerney: This was my dad's, it's not new, it's got everything you need, it's got a bedroll, sleeping bag, flashlight, first aid kit, the whole shebang, suitable for bonding.
- Oliver O'Toole: Miss McInerney, what about our dinner?
- Shane McInerney: Oliver don't worry. I'm not going to go back to Montaldo's without you.
- [Oliver smiles]
- Shane McInerney: Now I called your dad and he's going to wait for you...
- Oliver O'Toole: ... I don't know what to say. Yes I do. What is, uh kumbatcha?
- Shane McInerney: [Smiles] Kombucha. And let's just say it's the complete opposite of YooHoo.
- Oliver O'Toole: I will see you on Monday...
- [as he's walking away]
- Oliver O'Toole: ... Shane.
- Dale Travers: And you gotta trust the timing.
- Shane McInerney: You said that before at the church.
- Dale Travers: It's just something we say to each other. You know, to everything there is a season...
- Shane McInerney: A time to be born and a time to die, I've heard him say that.
- Dale Travers: He believes it too.
- Shane McInerney: The problem is if God has everything all figured out, what's the point of praying for anything?
- Dale Travers: Well I guess I don't pray to change God, I pray to change me.
- Shane McInerney: [On the phone] Rita I'm scared.
- Rita Haywith: We're, we're a couple hours away but we'll get there as fast as we can okay, so just hang in there... and pray.
- [Hangs up]
- Shane McInerney: [Looks up] I don't know how.
- Dale Travers: You okay?
- Shane McInerney: [Trying not to cry] I don't... I don't know if, if ... if I... can bear it if anything...
- [starts crying]
- Shane McInerney: Oliver...
- Dale Travers: [Pulls Shane in for a hug] I know.
- Dale Travers: I've been doing this a long time. It's times like this that you find out who you really are and what really matters.
- Shane McInerney: I guess we found out I can't handle pressure.
- Dale Travers: No it's just the opposite. You followed your instincts, you made the right call and you didn't fall apart until it felt safe.
- Shane McInerney: Am I? Am I safe?
- Dale Travers: Oliver's my friend.
- Shane McInerney: That's funny he said the same thing about you.
- Oliver O'Toole: It's sort of a divine delivery perhaps?
- Shane McInerney: Okay. But if we're going to do this I say forget protocol, forget privacy code 10-1p, we read the letter and let the miracles begin. Well unless... you would rather go camping instead?
- Norman Dorman: Camping? Oliver doesn't like to live outside.
- Rita Haywith: Not on purpose anyway.
- [From extended scene not aired in the US]
- Shane McInerney: [On the phone] Yes could I have extension 1-4-1-4 please?
- [pause]
- Shane McInerney: Hi it's Shane McInerney... not good. I'm calling because maybe I'm just overreacting, I'm not sure what to do... I think I need your help.
