Girl Meets World, Season 3

Cory Matthews:
Riley's looking for the best in people, right?

Lucas Friar:
Yes! Would you tell her to stop?

Ava Morgenstern:
What happens next, Maya?

Maya Hart:
When people you've loved all of your life suddenly decide to leave? Well, you sit by yourself for a while and you'll try to figure it out. And you'll blame yourself. But it isn't your fault. You probably won't believe that, though, and you'll think you did something wrong, but... you didn't. It isn't your fault. And most of all, you stay with your best friend. People make their own decisions. And sometimes, they decide to go away for a while. Sometimes, it takes time to understand why. It isn't your fault.

Maya Hart:
Riles?

Riley Matthews:
Peaches?

Maya Hart:
How are you feeling today?

Riley Matthews:
Well, I didn't cry all night.

Maya Hart:
That's good.

Riley Matthews:
'Cause I stopped when I passed out from crying.

Isadora Smackle:
You feel bad about finding out that there are people here bigger than you?

Lucas Friar:
No, I expected that. That's not it.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
You feel bad 'cause you know it's not gonna be anywhere near as easy as we thought here?

Lucas Friar:
Nah, I'm fine with the challenge. That's not it either.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
It's about us, isn't it?

Farkle Minkus:
Is there an us anymore?

Lucas Friar:
That's it.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
So look, man, let's go back to Riley and Maya and tell 'em we feel bad.

Lucas Friar:
No, I can't do that.

Isadora Smackle:
Why not?

Lucas Friar:
Because I feel bad!

[Riley wants to create an alter ego]

Riley Matthews:
Jexica!

Maya Hart:
Jexica?

Riley Matthews:
Like Jessica, but x-ier.

[the group talks about their favorite movies]

Lucas Friar:
Oh, Butch Cassidy!

Farkle Minkus:
Empire Strikes Back.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
The Notebook.

[Lucas and Farkle just look at him]

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Hey, love never dies, man.

Maya Hart:
Smackle's the genius in your chemistry class?

Farkle Minkus:
Smackle's the genius everywhere.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Well, you're with us now.

Isadora Smackle:
Don't hit on me in front of Lucas.

Lucas Friar:
Smackle!

Isadora Smackle:
Don't hit on me in front of Farkle!

Farkle Minkus:
Smackle!

Isadora Smackle:
You, me, Lucas and Zay. We're better than a triangle. We're a quadrilateral.

Maya Hart:
What's that?

Farkle Minkus:
It means square. Over here we say square.

Lucas Friar:
[about not getting into the football team] It's all right. Baseball's our sport anyway.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Yeah. Lucas was our star in middle school.

Isadora Smackle:
What were you?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
I was his cute friend.

Topanga Matthews:
[about Maya] What's wrong with her?

Riley Matthews:
She's been getting good grades, she's behaving all over the place... What is that?

Topanga Matthews:
Well, we like to believe that we helped contribute to the perfectly civilized lovely young lady we see sitting before us.

[pause]

Riley Matthews:
It's Maya!

Topanga Matthews:
Oh, yeah... We broke her.

Maya Hart:
My voice is still my voice, Riley. You're gonna need to show me a lot more than clothes and hair and a boy before I believe that it isn't.

Riley Matthews:
There can't be two Rileys, just like there can't be two Mayas. For the world to work, there need to be one Riley and one Maya.

Shawn Hunter:
I know that language. That's Topanganese.

Cory Matthews:
Why do I have to be here? Do you know what kind of a schlup this is? Is this even a place? My GPS said "end of the world" forty miles ago!

Cory Matthews:
Now, who here knows about Mount Vesuvius?

Maya Hart:
Mount Vesuvius was a pent up, boiling cauldron of I-wanna-do-somethin'.

Farkle Minkus:
The soil from volcanoes grows the most beautiful flowers.

Lucas Friar:
And deep down, Maya is beautiful.

Riley Matthews:
Okay, calm down.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
We're just going up to see the leaves change color. Nature puts on a great show when it wants to.

Farkle Minkus:
Indeed, Zay. The leaves seem to scream out...

Isadora Smackle:
"Hey, look at me!"

Farkle Minkus:
"You think I'm pretty!"

Isadora Smackle:
"But I'm actually dead!"

Farkle Minkus:
The preceding was brought to you by the Smarkle Corporation.

Lucas Friar:
You're always such a romantic.

Riley Matthews:
I am, I love romance. This triangle needs to die right now.

Maya Hart:
What? Why?

Lucas Friar:
How? We've tried before.

Riley Matthews:
Yeah... but this time there's something stronger. Seasons change. It's nature. Nature knows it's time for the triangle to die.

Maya Hart:
We're letting boys into our lives. How do I know if he's the right guy for you? How do I know if he's good enough?

Riley Matthews:
You're the only one who's good enough for me.

Maya Hart:
This we've always known.

Lucas Friar:
Do you remember when we all first met? In the subway? Then I came into your school, and Riley and I tried to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but we weren't ready for that? So then, you and I tried, and you poured a smoothie on my head?

Maya Hart:
Best date ever.

[Mr. Feeny is officiating Shawn and Katy's wedding]

George Feeny:
Do you, Katy [makes a face] Cleeterbooskay....

Katy Hart:
It's "Clutterbucket.".

George Feeny:
Yes I know, I was just trying to give you some dignity.

Maya Hart:
[to Shawn, who has just married her mother] Am I your daughter now?

Shawn Hunter:
Well, that's what I'd like to think of you as, if that's okay.

Maya Hart:
That's the most okay thing that's ever happened to me.

Cory Matthews:
Zay, what have you found out?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
I know that she ate my cookie.

Cory Matthews:
Do you forgive for that?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
No.

Cory Matthews:
And do you not forgive her because you're an evil person?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
No, I do not forgive her because I'm a good person who lost a good cookie.

Lucas Friar:
She feels bad, man.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
I don't care, I want my cookie back.

Lucas Friar:
Sometimes it's just a little bag of bubble gum. But if the right person gives it to you, then it's gold.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Do you remember when I first got here, and everybody was washing the car, and you sat next to me on that bucket, you talked to me, and I talked back to you?

Maya Hart:
Yeah.

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Yeah. Do you remember how you were very nice to me, you didn't really know me, but you sat next to me and talked to me anyway?

Maya Hart:
Yeah. Did I say anything important?

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
Didn't matter what you said. It was just that you sat there next to me. At a time where I was feeling like an outsider. I remember that. And I appreciated that.

Riley Matthews:
We need to report on our cultural heritage.

Topanga Matthews:
Ooh, good idea. Wish we had one.

Riley Matthes:
We're not anything?

Topanga Matthews:
We are multi-generational American.

Riley Matthews:
So I got no story? What about Auggie?

Topanga Matthews:
He's a rescue. He could be anything.

Riley Matthews:
Once upon a time, Riley Matthews lived in New York City, and because of that, she lives everywhere. That's my story. I have a story.

Cory Matthews:
Thank you, Riley. I'm sure the Great Lady of New York is smiling even bigger today. I know she holds a torch for all of us.

Riley Matthews:
I am so excited for today's Health class.

Maya Hart:
"Our bodies, our friends." Yikes.

Riley Matthews:
Oh, I'm sure that the teacher's sensitive take on life will be a lovely way to learn how our bodies work. [takes a look at the teacher, a large, gruff man] What's that?

Mr. Fanucci:
All right, all you creepy little child-adults, settle down. Let's get this over with, huh? Ugh. [Riley raises her hand] Put your hand down, Sunshine. You'll all pass no matter what. You know why? 'Cause if I fail ya, I gotta meet your parents. I don't want to meet your parents. I don't want to meet you. All right. [snorts] Let's talk about your bodies.

Topanga Matthews:
Riley, you can't worry about what people think because you can't control what people think. The truth is, when you try to control life, life does its best to teach you not to.

Riley Matthews:
There's a girl who doesn't like me.

Topanga Matthews:
[angry] What's that you say now? [pauses, composes herself] Okay, honey. You just keep being you, and she's gonna come around.

Riley Matthews:
So, we don't try to control it?

Topanga Matthews:
No.

Riley Matthews:
We just let it be?

Topanga Matthews:
Yes.

Riley Matthews:
How?

Topanga Matthews:
Well, see, what's gonna happen all on its own is that Daddy's gonna get me her phone number, see? And then perhaps, I don't know, maybe I have a little howdy do with her mommy. And if you don't have a new friend by 9:00 tomorrow, as natural as flowers in the springtime, well, then maybe Leonard, the income tax attorney in Mommy's office, he's gonna do just a little bit of research into their family's paperwork and see if there are any inconsistencies.

Farkle Minkus:
He's talking chaos theory. A mathematical hypothesis postulating that within our universal complexity any small alterations can have vast repercussions.

Isadora Smackle:
You brainiac!

Farkle Minkus:
You brainiac!

Cory Matthews:
I'm not sure anyone understands what you said. Explain it for the common person.

Farkle Minkus:
You do something over here, it can affect what happens over there!

Cory Matthews:
Demonstrate.

Farkle Minkus:
Over here.

Lucas Friar:
Hey!

Farkle Minkus:
Over there.

Riley Matthews:
It's for science, Lucas.

Lucas Friar:
Thanks, Riles.

Maya Hart:
Only I call her "Riles"!

Lucas Friar:
Okay, Peaches.

Riley Matthews:
Only I call her "Peaches"!

Corey Matthews:
Sir Isaac Newton!

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

Cory Matthews:
[sighs] If you must.

Farkle Minkus:
Farkle time. It's what I'm going as for Halloween! It's a quarter after Farkle! Ha!

Cory Matthews:
[annoyed] Isaac Newton!

Farkle Minkus:
Gravity, sir! He sat under a tree, apple fell on his head. He said, "Hey, Gravity!" Thank you, I am Farkle!

Riley Matthews:
This is normal, healthy teenage rebellion. This is supposed to happen. I'm right on schedule. How could this go wrong?

Farkle Minkus:
Educate her, Hambone.

Cory Matthews:
Chapter One: Crushing defeats. Godzilla versus Japan.

Farkle Minkus:
Japan loses, Riley.

Cory Matthews:
Really loses.

Farkle Minkus:
Tell her how bad they lose.

Cory Matthews:
They lose so bad their voices come out of their mouths three seconds later.

Riley Matthews:
I would like to begin with peace talks.

Topanga Matthews:
Is this an apology?

Riley Matthews:
This is a diplomatic solution. May I sit at the table?

Cory Matthews:
Why don't we let her sit down and see what she has to say?

Riley Matthews:
Mother.

Topanga Matthews:
Daughter.

Riley Matthews:
I understand that you wanted me at the bakery because it was important to you. You understand that I wanted to do something else that was important to me, even though you didn't see the value in it.

Cory Matthews:
Bad road, Riley.

Riley Matthews:
You don't care about what's important to me. You only care about what's important to you.

Cory Matthews:
[nervously] It's good to see her again, huh? Yeah. [to Riley] Really bad bumpy dirt road, Riley, with no lights and a cliff, and some sort of weird hitchhiker with a banjo! Turn around now!

Maya Hart:
Are we best friends?

Riley Matthews:
How could you even ask me that?

Maya Hart:
Yeah, but what are best friends?

Riley Matthews:
You and I, who would do anything for each other.

Maya Hart:
Would you give me your kidney?

Riley Matthews:
I'd give you my left one.

Maya Hart:
I want your right one.

Riley Matthews:
But that's Nicole Kidney!

D.W. Preminger:
You know what else Hollywood loves? Authenticity. So, in the interest of authenticity, D.W. Preminger is going to extend an invitation to the friends of his daughter's imagination, because what could be more Hollywood authentic than holding out false hope to you, who inspired the roles, to audition for the roles of [points at Lucas] Dookus...

Lucas Friar:
"Dookus"?

D.W. Preminger:
[points at Zay] Zed...

Isaiah 'Zay' Babineaux:
"Zed"?

D.W. Preminger:
[points at Farkle] ... and Farkle Poopypants McStupidhead!

Farkle Minkus:
[points at Lucas] Ha ha, Dookus!

Riley Matthews:
We need to teach Maya the meaning of Christmas.

Maya Hart:
Bah, humbug! My mom and I don't know how to do Christmas. We throw snowballs at the skaters in Rockefeller Center.

Corey Matthews:
That was you? I almost died!

Auggie Matthews:
I know what you did, Riley. Because I understand the story, too.

Riley Matthews:
What did I do?

Auggie Matthews:
You gave Maya back to her family. Even though it was hard for you, and you wanted to keep her for yourself. You gave her the gift that would make her truly happy.

Riley Matthews:
Don't tell her.

Auggie Matthews:
I don't have to. She knows.

Cecilia Balagot:
Oh, hi! Because this is "World Meets Girl," we went all over the world, just not in America, because we wanted you guys to be part of this. Why am I telling you this? Because I don't think I was in the show enough.

Audience member #1:
I love you, Ben Savage!

Ben Savage:
Oh, thank you!

Audience member #1:
I love you!

Audience member #2:
I love you more!

Ben Savage:
Are you fighting over me?

Farkle Minkus:
[to Lucas] If Smackle is into you, I won't take it out on you. I'll just make a clone of you and do terrible things to the clone.

[Topanga has been offered a job in London]

Cory Matthews:
Girls listen, I know this is difficult. Don't worry. We're gonna make the right decision.

Riley Matthews:
[fighting tears] Mom, there's a decision?

Topanga Matthews:
Yeah. Girls, I'm sorry, but there's a decision.

Topanga Matthews:
There are a lot of exciting reasons to go. A new place, a new adventure, my promotion. There are a whole lot of reasons to go.

Riley Matthews:
Without any reasons to stay?

Topanga Matthews:
Only one. Every time I watch you girls in the bay window, I remember how much we wanted a place like it of our own.

Cory Matthews:
Yeah, we called it a nook.

Topanga Matthews:
Yeah. A place where important decisions are made, and the best next steps of your life are planned and considered. We would do great in England. We would do great anywhere in the world. I could run the London office. Maybe someday I'll get to run the New York office. But the place I love running is this place, where you're in right now, where your friends come in and you plan the best next steps of your life. Like we're doing right now. This is my bay window, and I'm not leaving it.

Cory Matthews:
Told you she would make the right decision.

Riley Matthews:
Big world.

Maya Hart:
Ours now.

Riley Matthews:
People are gonna come in and out of our lives. Who knows where we're gonna end up? Who knows if the decisions we're gonna make are right or wrong? Promise me this.

Maya Hart:
Okay.

Riley Matthews:
Time and distance have no power over us. You and I are together for as long as we live.

Maya Hart:
Thunder.

Riley Matthews:
Lightning.

Maya Hart:
Done.
