Californication - Best Scene (Hank's letter for Karen)

Dear Karen,

If you're reading this, it means I actually worked up the courage to mail it. So, good for me. You don't know me very well, but if you get me started I have a tendency to go on and on about how hard the writing is for me. But this... this is the hardest thing I ever had to write. There is no easy way to say this, so I'll just say it: I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn't looking for it, I wasn't on the make. It was a perfect storm. She said one thing and I said another and the next thing I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there is this feeling in my gut that she might be the one. She is completely nuts in a way that makes me smile highly neurotic, a great deal of maintenance required. She is you, Karen... that's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know how to be with you right now, and that scares the shit out of me. Because if I am not with you right now I have this feeling we will get lost out there. Its a big bad world full or twist and turns and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment. The moment that could have changed everything. I don't know whats going on with us and I can't tell you should waste a leap of faith on the likes of me. But damn, you smell good, like home and you make excellent coffee that has to count for something, right? Call me!

Unfaithfully yours,

Hank Moody

[MikeHawk1988]

One of the greatest scenes in Californication. If you haven't experienced falling in love, you are about to witness it.

[MiguelSerra403]

Oh, and I forgot to mention the soundtrack. I think 'Pearl Jam' is enough to be said.

This is one of the best scenes of the whole show. And is one of the main reasons Californication is one of my favorite shows. Not sex scenes, this: the wonderful writing. For people who say Californication is all about sex, just watch the show.
