Little jewels on a little screen
Well, my gUrl-friends who love boys&boys stories... I just ended up crying, watching Cold Case 4x10 "Forever Blue".
You can't miss it.
Trust me.
ETA: quote from one of 1968 flashbacks, the two cops, Coop and Jimmy, are talking about the future of their love story.
Coop: We got something here. And it ain't going away.
Jimmy: I got a family.
Coop: You think Eileen wants to be married to a stranger? You think if she knew she'd want to keep living a lie?
Jimmy: I ain't leaving my kids, Coop!
Coop: I'm not asking for that.
Jimmy: What then.
Coop: Remember what you were talking about? Living a different kind of life? This is our shot!
Jimmy: That was just talk. We're cursed with this thing.
Coop: My folks. Been married forever right? But whatever they had died years ago. Now I look around and I see everyone like that. Staying together because of the church. Because it's expected. Because they got nowhere else to go. Cursed?... We're the lucky ones, Jimmy.
Quote from one of the last scenes in 2006, detective Lilly Rush is talking with an old Jimmy who finally revealed everything.
Jimmy: Why if I had been with him in the car that night, he'd have a chance.
Lilly: You let him go out on his own. Why?
Jimmy: Because if I got in that car, the whole world was going to know.
Lilly: Know what? Know what, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Who I was.
Lilly: The world back then didn't understand. You believed it was wrong. But that kind of thing, comes along once in a lifetime and you gotta hold on, or you'll lose it. Coop was right. You were the lucky ones, Jimmy.
Jimmy: I miss him.
Lilly: I know.
