Young Elizabeth (writing a letter to Fred with a green crayon because green is his favorite color): Dear Drop Dead Fred, you were my only friend, but she took you away from me. I know I'll see you again. someday. [Cut back to the present] Fred : If you come back, I promise, we'll run away together. See that? "Pro-mise." I found that when I was hiding in the stupid garden shed. Elizabeth : That's right, that's where I hid it. But you never answered it. (Fred takes the letter and folds it up delicately, putting it in his pocket.) You just disappeared... And when you did, all the... the... life... and, um... the spirit... (she starts to cry while regaining the memory) and... the... Fred : (hesitantly) Fred? Elizabeth : Yeah! Fred! It all just went out of me! (She dabs her eyes with a tissue) Oh, I should have never let my mother know how much she could hurt me... Once she knew how, she knew that she could do it all the time... And she did. So I never showed her my real feelings again.
