Girl Meets World, Season 2

Farkle Minkus:
[raising his hand] Farkle time, sir?

Mr. Martinez:
Go ahead, kid. If you gotta Farkle, you gotta Farkle.

Riley Mathews:
The sun doesn't go around the Earth. We are the ones moving. We orbit the sun because we need it. We need its light and its heat. And if it wasn't there, we'd be dark and alone. I wasn't in Mrs. Svorski's orbit for very long, and I missed out on someone wonderful. My brother knew better. He was her very good friend. We think that we are the center of the universe, but the truth is... we need to circle the ones we love for as long as they're here. We need to hold them close, because no matter how far we travel, they are the ones who hold us in place. It's gravity, and without it, we'd just all float away from each other. We are not kings at all. We are just tiny little specs.

Cory Matthews:
Riley, what is going on here?

Maya Hart:
Farkle kissed my hand!

Cory Matthews:
[to Farkle] You did?

Farkle Minkus:
It was glorious.

Riley Matthews:
Hey! Lucas and I are friends. That's what we are, that's what we've always been. And we are not going to hurt that because you guys want us to be something we're not. So go back to your own lives, because nobody is moving too fast.

[Maya enters wearing a wedding gown and throws a bouquet, which Riley catches]

Farkle Minkus:
[mumbles] I was "wroh."

Cory Matthews:
Excuse me?

Farkle Minkus:
I was "wrohh!"

Cory Matthews:
Well, it takes a big man to admit when he was "wrohh."

Cory Matthews:
You got a transcript, kid?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
[hands it to Cory] I do. Check out them grades. Here, let me sing 'em to you: [to the tune of "Shave and a Haircut"] D-D-D-D-D D-F!

Maya Hart:
Yeah, I know that song.

Farkle Minkus:
Don't worry, Riley, Pluto will always be a planet in my room.

Cory Matthews:
It's our time capsule, remember?

George Feeny:
I remember everything.

Cory Matthews:
We wanted to see how time treated us. If we turned out like we hoped we would. You got any advice for us while we're all here together, Mr. Feeny?

George Feeny:
Well, yes. It's been a long time, and you're still together. What else do you need to know?

Auggie Matthews:
Uncle Eric, how come you look like this?

Cory Matthews:
Because they elected him mayor.

Riley Matthews:
Who would do that?

Topanga Matthews:
The good people of Stupidtown.

Eric Matthews:
It's not pronounced Stupidtown!

Topanga Matthews:
How is it pronounced?

Eric Matthews:
St. Upidtown!

Topanga Matthews:
Oh. How St. Upid of me.

Eric Matthews:
Now, which one of you is Riley's friend Malisha?

Maya Hart:
It's Maya.

Eric Matthews:
Oh, okay. So, what are you fighting about?

Maya Hart:
She didn't take my side.

Riley Matthews:
I couldn't take her side based on what was said, which is the problem with this whole thing, 'cause Maya is making too big of a deal of what was said.

Eric Matthews:
Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. Now, which one was she?

Riley Matthews:
You can't do this. Your conscience will always bother you.

Maya Hart:
I don't have a conscience.

Riley Matthews:
Everybody does. And until yours shows up, I'm going with you.

Cory Matthews:
What is a lie? What are the effects of a lie on the human soul?

Riley Matthews:
Why are you looking at me?

Cory Matthews:
The man who summed up the price of a lie was Edgar Allan Poe in "The Tell-Tale Heart". Farkle?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
So this guy chops somebody up, hides him in the floor. He's cool for awhile, but all of a sudden, boom, boom. Boom, boom. Boom, boom! His guilty conscience made him hear the heartbeat under the floorboards. So, he gave himself up. Some people just ain't cut out for this stuff.

Farkle Minkus:
He called on me, you know.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
I know stuff. I know a lot of stuff. I know stuff about you.

Farkle Minkus:
You don't know anything about me.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Boom, boom.

Farkle Minkus:
Why would you do that?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Boom, boom.

Farkle Minkus:
I don't understand.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Boom, boom!

Farkle Minkus:
[panicked] All through kindergarten, I never fell asleep once! I was faking all my naps! Faking them. I can't do it. I don't know how Maya can just fall asleep anywhere!

Cory Matthews:
Lucas! Why are you the only one here that didn't say "I'm sorry?"

Lucas Friar:
'Cause I never do anything.

Cory Matthews:
No, because you respect the rules. Because you know without them, civilization becomes chaos. The rest of you are gonna spend the afternoon thinking about that, with the exception of Lucas the Good.

Lucas Friar:
Aw, boy. Is that gonna stick?

Maya Hart:
I'm already making T-shirts.

Lucas Friar:
Maya, if there's no good kids out here noticing us, what's the point?

Maya Hart:
[pulls Lucas in by his shirt collar, so they are face to face] You questioning my leadership, Hopalong?

Lucas Friar:
Okay, these names you're calling me are killing my street cred.

Maya Hart:
Aw. Then what would you like me to call you?

Lucas Friar:
[deep voice] I'd like you to call me Mad Dog.

Maya Hart:
You don't seem like a Mad Dog to me.

Lucas Friar:
Then what do I seem like to you?

Maya Hart:
You know that lamb that Mary had?

Lucas Friar:
I don't like the way that this is going.

Cory Matthews:
You know, a little discipline isn't a bad thing, Maya.

Maya Hart:
Oh, thanks, Mr. Matthews, I'll ponder on that.

[Riley does a head movement towards Cory while looking at Shawn]

Shawn Hunter:
I'm sorry, what?

[Riley does the same movement again]

Shawn Hunter:
Yeah, just because you do the same weird gesture twice, doesn't mean I get it.

Cory Matthews:
The clothes look nice, Maya. But it's the hope that looks great on you.

Lucas Friar:
Why don't you elect people who care enough to make things better?

Cory Matthews:
I like to think I do every time I vote. But the truth is, I'm not responsible for the quality of people running for office.

Riley Matthews:
How are these people even chosen?

Cory Matthews:
Well, the parties choose the best candidates they can come up with.

[Eric bursts into the room, then pauses to catch his breath]

Eric Matthews:
I am running for senator of the great state of New York, and I need your votes!

Riley Matthews:
Kids don't vote.

Eric Matthews:
Then, aww.

Cory Matthews:
Everybody close your books, it's the end of the world.

Eric Matthews:
I'm really dizzy. I've done this in every classroom!

Eric Matthews:
They played me. I'm just supposed to lose.

Tommy Murphy:
Supposed to.

Riley Matthews:
Like Kennedy was.

Maya Hart:
Or Nixon.

Eric Matthews:
Yeah, but those guys weren't real!

Maya Hart:
Where's Garaboski?

Lucas Friar:
Uh oh.

Riley Matthews:
Did we do it?

Farkle Minkus:
Did we finally break him?

Cory Matthews:
[walks in] You broke him!

[class cheers]

Cory Matthews:
Quiet! Mr. Garaboski retired yesterday.

[class cheers again]

Cory Matthews:
Quiet! The guy survives Vietnam *and* *Mrs.* Garaboski, and he can't get past you. Now, he left a letter here that expressed his feelings. "Dear you little"- okay, I can't read this.

Lucas Friar:
He always talked about the good old days, before 1985.

Riley Matthews:
What happened in 1985?

Farkle Minkus:
That was the year the New York Board of Education said you couldn't hit a kid with a ruler.

Cory Matthews:
Ms. Burgess is here to teach you about great books and great ideas. Please give her the same respect that you give me.

Riley Matthews:
Aw, we could do better than that.

Topanga Matthews:
Girls, slow down! What is the rush?

Maya Hart:
Dinner is keeping us from our homework.

Riley Matthews:
The new English teacher wants us to read this.

Topanga Matthews:
This looks like a comic book.

Cory Matthews:
Yes!

Topanga Matthews:
Didn't we have a teacher who taught us...

Cory Matthews:
Yes!

Topanga Matthews:
Tell me more about this new English teacher.

Riley Matthews:
Motorcycle.

Maya Hart:
Leather jacket.

Topanga Matthews:
Sounds familiar... [turns to Cory] Weren't you on the committee to hire the new English teacher?

Cory Matthews:
Yes!

Ava Morgenstern:
Let's go over the suspect list, doll face.

Auggie Matthews:
I like when she calls me doll face. Makes me feel dainty.

Riley Matthews:
How long are goldfish supposed to live?

Phil:
Well, with proper care, they can go 15, 20 years.

Riley Matthews:
Then that's when we'll see you next. [to the fish] Right, guys?

Phil:
I hope so, kid. I'll miss you.

Riley Matthews:
You will?

Phil:
Yeah. You're sincere, you're honest. You changed me today.

Riley Matthews:
Really?

Phil:
Yeah. That'll be $17,000.

Lucas Friar:
Maya, you are the most secure person in this room. You have a great life! Why would you change? I mean okay, not great life... I mean, your family life could, you know, be better, but... uh, at least at school you're uh... you're here a lot!

Maya Hart:
I have no interest living in a world without Riley and Farkle. And I'm not going anywhere until you to come back, you hear me?

Farkle Minkus:
Maya, the people you knew aren't here any more.

Maya Hart:
Then can you please tell me where I can find them?

Riley Matthews:
They're in the yearbook. Keep in touch and have an awesome summer.

Riley Matthews:
Lucas hasn't asked me to the semi-formal. We're Riley and Lucas, aren't we, Maya?

Maya Hart:
I don't know anymore. Just tell me what to say.

Riley Matthews:
It's all over the front of my notebook. "Riley hearts Lucas 4-ever."

Maya Hart:
What's on the back on your notebook?

Riley Matthews:
"Riley and Lucas, we're just friends."

Cory Matthews:
Semi-formal coming up. Young men and young women interacting. Mixing in a social situation. So, to avoid any casualties, I thought we could discuss etiquette. Can anyone here tell me what etiquette is? [Farkle raises his hand] No, you can't.

Farkle Minkus:
Etiquette is treating people politely and with respect. Maya and I will demonstrate in a short play we put on before every dance. It's called, "No". [in a formal voice] Miss Hart, would you do me the great honor of accompanying me to the semi-formal festivities?

Maya Hart:
No.

Farkle Minkus:
Etiquette.

Maya Hart:
Etiquette.

Farkle Minkus:
Thank you.

Maya Hart:
Thank you.

Farkle Minkus:
We'll see you at the holidays for "A Christmas No".

Ms. Kossal:
Maya has something very special, Riley. She paints from a place that few of us are able to reach.

Riley Matthews:
That's because she has an awful life.

Maya Hart:
I love it when I'm reminded.

Chairperson Sanchez:
You know, Picasso painted a masterpiece called Guernica. Adults going to war on horses with swords. Except for one horse who was horrified at what the adults were doing. He's horrified because he knows it's wrong. I've always loved that horse. And when I was as young as you, I made a promise to myself that if I ever go to war, I would never forget Guernica and the horse that knew better. Thank you, Ms. Hart, for reminding me.

Ms. Oben:
Farkle, I have the results of your...

Farkle Minkus:
[interrupting] Of my IQ and aptitude test? I'm a genius, right? You know how I know? Because I'm a genius. It's not conceited when it's true, Mr. Matthews?

Cory Matthews:
I wouldn't know. I'm barely literate.

Isadora Smackle:
We are both geniuses now.

Farkle Minkus:
Yup. That makes us even more alike that we were. And as we both know...

Isadora Smackle:
[sadly] Like forces repel. Yes, science says we may never be together.

Farkle Minkus:
And science never makes a mistake.

Riley Matthews:
Really? Have you seen the blobfish? [shows them a picture of one and pretends to cry] Why, science? Why?

Farkle Minkus:
Every sport is the same. Being good at sports is just a matter of physics.

Lucas Friar:
Don't you mess up America's most favorite thing with America's least favorite thing!

Farkle Minkus:
I've never even understood this game. You run around the bases and try to get home, right?

Lucas Friar:
Yeah.

Farkle Minkus:
Well, why do you need the other bases?

Lucas Friar:
Because you can't get home until you've run all of them.

Farkle Minkus:
But the quickest way between two points is a straight line.

Lucas Friar:
You wanna get rid of the bases?

Farkle Minkus:
Yeah, game's over sooner and we can all get back to physics.

Maya Hart:
Why are you my second, Huckleberry? Shouldn't you be over there with Riley?

Lucas Friar:
Well, it was decided that if things get out of hand, I was the best choice to... contain you.

Maya Hart:
Oh, you think you can?

Lucas Friar:
Yeah, but I'll probably pay for it pretty good.

Riley Matthews:
You're the worst bully ever, Peaches.

Maya Hart:
I know. "Peaches the bully" just doesn't strike fear into the hearts of anybody.

Riley Mathews:
Thank you for meeting me.I know you probably have something to say, you always have something to say. But now it's my turn to talk. You need to listen, you need to watch. Welcome to Rileytown. I twirl around when I'm happy. I dance by myself. And sometimes I give awards to myself for doing something good so that maybe I'll do something good again. And you're not going to stop me by showing everyone your little video that shows everyone that I do it. Because I'm going to show everyone right now. Welcome back to the Riley Awards! And now your host British Riley!

Maya Hart:
Hi British Riley.

Riley Matthews:
And now, for the biggest award of the evening! This here award is for not only facing your fears, but doing it in front of everyone I know in my horrible accent! and the winner is... Riley! I would like to thank everyone who helped me get here. My friends... Because true friends let you be who you are. I'd also like to thank you because this was hard. But I've grown today, so thank you. Hey, where are you going?

Maya Hart:
Look Riles, the farther away she goes, the smaller she gets.

Riley Matthews:
We don't need adult supervision anymore. We're becoming wonderful young adults.

Cory Matthews:
Says who?

Riley Matthews:
The ghost of the bay window.

Cory Matthews:
Oh, the ghost of the bay window.

Riley Matthews:
When you guys go to sleep, she floats in.

Topanga Matthews:
She goes, "boo." We go, "aah!"

Corey Matthews:
We all laugh and discuss the way ghosts are portrayed in the media.

Riley Matthews:
Are you making fun of us?

Cory Matthews:
Pretty sure we are.

Riley Matthews:
Today is the best day ever. Peaches! Oh, my gosh. I have never felt better in my life. Let's go rob a bank!

[Maya is trying to talk Riley out of trying out for the cheerleading squad]

Maya Hart:
How many years are you gonna do this to me?

Riley Matthews:
What am I doing to you?

Maya Hart:
Every year I have to tell you that you're good. You know what? You're not good. You're not as good as Samantha, you're not as good as Heather, you're not as good as any girl with any name, or doesn't have a name, or doesn't exist, or is a rock.

Cory Matthews:
[pointing at his drawing of a light bulb] Who invented this?

Farkle Minkus:
Thomas Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park.

Cory Matthews:
After how many tries?

Lucas Friar:
Six!

Cory Matthews:
No! Anyone think he invented it after his first try?

Lucas Friar:
I do!

Cory Matthews:
No!

Lucas Friar:
All right, I was trying something, and now I'm going back to the way things were.

Farkle Minkus:
Why didn't he invent the lightbulb on his first try?

Isaiah "Zay" Babineaux:
'Cause it was dark! [pats Lucas on the shoulder] Got your back.

Maya Hart:
What's the difference between riding a sheep and riding a bull?

Lucas Friar:
DEATH! Death is the difference!

Riley Matthews:
He's going to do great, Maya. Zay, tell him he's going to do great.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
[without conviction] You'll do great.

Maya Hart:
Truth.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
You're gonna die.

Farkle Minkus:
You won't do anything to me 'cause I'm a New York intellectual and you don't wanna be a cliche.

Pappy Joe:
...Lucas, fetch me my shotgun.

Lucas Friar:
Okay!

Lucas Friar:
Brother and sister. Riley and I are brother and sister now. What does that even mean?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
What does anything mean out the mouth of a girl?

Farkle Minkus:
[about Lucas and Maya] You think they like each other?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
I do. But I think they liked each other better when she was yelling at him all the time.

Auggie Matthews:
[to Lucas] Riley's my sister. I'm her only brother. And her only brother's telling you, whatever happens, don't hurt my sister. Now get of my room, I'm doing my podcast.

Farkle Minkus:
[reading his "forgiveness note"] "Dear Farkle, I forgive you for ruining every single movie we've ever seen together." How do I ruin every single movie?

Isaiah "Zay" Babineaux:
Ah, read mine. Read mine.

Farkle Minkus:
(reads) "I forgive you for figuring out the end of every movie and shouting it out before it happens."

Isaiah "Zay" Babineaux:
Because, see, we don't want to know.

Farkle Minkus:
I just want to share my abilities with my friends.

Lucas Friar:
We don't want your abilities.

Isaiah "Zay" Babineaux:
Your abilities make us want to hurt you.

Farkle Minkus:
(talks to Maya and Riley as they leave Mr. Matthews' classroom) Riley, Maya, movie with me?

Riley Matthews:
Are you crazy?

Maya Hart:
Never again.

Riley Matthews:
"She dies!"

Maya Hart:
"He blows up!"

Riley Matthews:
"She's the killer."

Maya Hart:
"Nobody gets out of Monkey Town."

Riley Matthews:
Are you crazy?

Maya Hart:
Hurt you.

Farkle Minkus:
(to Lucas and Zay) Well, thank you for forgiving me. Do you think we could still go to the movies if I stop telling you what happens next?

Lucas Friar:
Do you think you can?

Farkle Minkus:
Of course I can. "Oh, let's give him one more chance." "Hey!" Then you chase me, and then I scream.

Isaiah "Zay" Babineaux:
Oh, let's give him one more chance.

Lucas Friar:
Hey!

Farkle Minkus:
It's just too much fun! Ahh! (Lucas and Zay chase Farkle)

Topanga Matthews:
You don't think I can do this, do you?

Katy Hart:
I think that you are Topanga Matthews, attorney at law, and that might perhaps color the way that you deal with customers, who I don't even think will believe that you're a waitress.

Topanga Matthews:
I could be a fine waitress. And what will you have, sir?

Customer:
Yeah, give me the cheesecake.

Topanga Matthews:
You want to try that a different way, chief?

Riley Matthews:
You know why it's a great day?

Maya Hart:
For you? Because it's a day.

Farkle Minkus:
We are somehow surrounded by the people we need in our lives. They're right in front of me. I can see them. I don't know how it happened that the four of us are here together in this place at this time right now. That part is a mystery to me. But I'm grateful that it happened.

Farkle Minkus:
[about Isadora] You can say whatever you want. She's mine.

Lucas Friar:
Tell her that!

Harper Burgess:
Do you give in to your feelings or let your mind rule over your heart?

Maya Hart:
I follow my heart. It gets me into trouble.

Farkle Minkus:
What about you, Riley?

Riley Matthews:
My mind tells me to do what's right.

Harper Burgess:
Can anyone answer which is more valuable to follow?

Lucas Friar:
It depends on the situation.

Harper Burgess:
No, it doesn't.

Lucas Friar:
[shouting] Just taking a shot!

Harper Burgess:
Very passionate.

Lucas Friar:
Thank you!

Harper Burgess:
...And that's where we run into trouble.

Lucas Friar:
You set me up!

Maya Hart:
Boo, this class.

Farkle Minkus:
Do you even know which one it is?

Maya Hart:
I'm gonna need a clue.

Farkle Minkus:
Doo dah, doo, dah, doo doo dah da-da-dah da-da dah! Science.

Mr. Norton:
Morning, Farkle. What's new?

Farkle Minkus:
I'm reading this great book on anti-gravity. I can't put it down. Ha!

Mr. Norton:
Ha!

Maya Hart:
I hate this class.

Riley Matthews:
It all started with Eve. Women have been treated as second-class citizens ever since. Thank goodness for strong women like Queen Elizabeth, then Susan B. Anthony helped get women the vote, and then Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, and then Riley Matthews refused to drop the marble, and then here we are.

Riley Matthews:
Farkle, how come you never have us over to your house?

Farkle Minkus:
I've already told you.

Riley Matthews:
No, you say you're embarrassed by it, but how big could it possibly be?

Farkle Minkus:
I don't know. I haven't seen it all.

Riley Matthews:
Mr. Cuban, I know you don't take the Knicks very seriously right now, but just you wait!

Mark Cuban:
Yeah, I don't have that kind of time.

Cory Matthews:
I got this judgey thing down. I got the hang of punishing people and I like it.

Topanga Matthews:
Do you want to take piano lessons?

Auggie Matthews:
Does it take work?

Topanga Matthews:
Anything worth doing takes work.

Auggie Matthews:
Then I'd rather just become a lawyer like you.

Topanga Matthews:
You don't just get to become a lawyer. Do you want to know what I had to do to become a lawyer?

Auggie Matthews:
Please, no. It'll just happen. I'm a chip off the old block. You're the old block.

Topanga Matthews:
Oh, well, thank you.

Maya Hart:
You're my favorite person in the world. I wouldn't change a thing about you.

Riley Matthews:
I wanna tear down the bay window.

Maya Hart:
You shut your face!

5-year old Riley Matthews:
Are you a stranger?

5-year-old Maya Hart:
Yeah.

5-year-old Riley Matthews:
Are you a stranger coming through my window?

5-year-old Maya Hart:
Yeah.

5-year-old Riley Matthews:
Then, AAAAAAAHHHHH!

Cory Matthews:
Now, the most important thing you can do in life is give people a reason to remember you. The people who do that are the ones we study in here. So, your last assignment from me and for yourselves is to figure out what you will give back.

Riley Matthews:
I'm not ready for high school and I don't wanna go.

Cory Matthews:
Why not?

Riley Matthews:
'Cause we did great here. This was the time of our lives! We were kings, Matthews. What will I be next year?

Cory Matthews:
Not kings.

Riley Matthews:
No. The opposite of kings. Freshmen. Worms. Worse than worms. Freshmen.

Cory Matthews:
You'll do fine, Riley. You all will.

Riley Matthews:
Also, and I don't say this a lot, but I like you.

Cory Matthews:
You do?

Riley Matthews:
Yeah. You said you had a lot more to teach us.

Cory Matthews:
And I will. You're my daughter.

Riley Matthews:
What about the rest of my friends, Dad? You need to teach all of us more.

Maya Hart:
We're a mess. We shouldn't feel. We don't know how to feel and you need to teach us how to not feel.

Cory Matthews:
What?

Maya Hart:
You got one last lesson for the road?

Cory Matthews:
Yeah. I do.

Maya Hart:
Well, I've never said this before, but you have my attention.

Cory Matthews:
Good. This one's important. I've gotten to watch you guys become friends and I've gotten to watch you grow. You guys grew up so fast and I've been trying to teach you to keep your feelings inside.

Maya Hart:
And you were right. Look at us.

Cory Matthews:
I was wrong. Your teacher was wrong. I can't keep you in this place. You've outgrown it. You guys are graduating to whatever comes next.
