Boy Meets World s03e21 Episode Script

You know, Kristen, I don't mind paying Chubbie that $3 cover charge if it means I can do this.
Watch me now, hey I said-a work it all, baby Ah, you're drivin' me crazy Cory.
I'm so flattered you found the time to go out with me.
I mean, the whole school knows since you've been single you've been out with a different girl every night.
Well, I had to get 'em all out of the way to make time for a fetching gal like you.
And how do I know that's not just another line from the new Cory Matthews? Lines? I have no lines.
'Cause your pretty blue eyes leave me speechless.
So, what else is the school saying about me? They say just before you kiss a girl you pass a fry from knuckle to knuckle.
Huh.
That's interesting.
That was nice, Cory.
It sure was, Topanga.
You just called me Topanga.
Oh, boy.
You called her Topanga? Now, Shawn, it's so obvious what's going on here.
Yeah, you're really bad with names.
Do what I do, write them on the palm of your hand, Cory.
No, no.
The problem is no matter how many girls I go out with, I still end up thinking about Topanga.
So why did you break up with her in the first place? I don't know.
I mean, I made a mistake.
I thought we could be friends like you and I are.
But, you know, when I see Topanga I want to hug her, hold her, kiss her.
When I see you I have no interest in any of those things.
Well, so how do you think she feels about you? I will ask.
- Hey, Topanga.
- Hi, Cory.
- She wants back.
- All right, you guys.
Remember the papers for the Environmental Essay Awards I had you write at the beginning of the year? Oh, yeah.
I finished mine last night, Mr.
Turner.
Enter this puppy.
And here are the winners.
On their way to Walt Disney World in Orlando are the following students.
Kristen Hoffman.
That's good for her, you know? A week in Florida, a little sun, a little color, a little ocean air could help her get over me.
Ronnie Waterman.
Well, she'll get over you quickly enough with Lips Waterman on the same trip.
Perfect.
Kristen with Lips in Florida.
And me free to spend the next week romancing Topanga.
You know what, Shawn? Sometimes everything in my life just seems to go my way.
And our last winner is Topanga Lawrence.
I hate my stinking life.
Hey, Ronnie, you think this ride is safe? I mean, what if my hair gets caught in the rotor? Your hair is safe.
But your lips they're in danger.
No, Lips! No, Lips! Cory.
Are you having that nightmare again where you're kidnapped by figure skaters and forced to do compulsories against your will? No, I only have that dream every four years.
Eric, look.
I'm in a bad way.
I need your advice.
You love Topanga and you want her back.
That's brilliant.
So very insightful.
How did you know? Oh.
Look, Eric, ever since I broke up with Topanga I- I-I've got this gnawing in the pit of my stomach that just won't go away.
Your poor little body goes through so much.
Look, why don't you just tell her how you feel and let me go back to bed, all right? I can't.
I mean, she's going out of town.
She won some trip to Walt Disney World.
Then, Cor, I gotta say, go to Florida.
Immediately.
Win back your woman.
Just like that? Go to Florida? That's insane.
What about sunscreen? I have spoken.
Eric, I'm doing it.
I'm taking your advice.
I'm going to Florida to get back the woman I love.
- I'm proud of you, Cor.
- All right, you think you can cover for me? - I am way ahead of you.
- Why? What's in the bag? You.
It's like looking into a mirror, huh? Eric, you'd have to be the biggest idiot on the planet to actually think that's me.
Hey, Eric.
Hey, Cor.
Argh! Boy, you really went to a lot of trouble for me.
Well, I figured you're my only brother.
It's not gonna kill me to show a little affection.
All right.
Now, all I gotta do is spend all the money I have and buy a plane ticket.
Oh, I got tickets.
From my Uncle Nicky.
Wait.
Your uncle who's in the "gaming industry"? Yeah, yeah, and there's a slight chance we may have to break someone's knees while we're there.
Wait, "we"? You're coming too? Of course.
I figure all the times you've been there for me, I at least owe you one.
Thanks, man.
Maybe if I tell Topanga how I feel before she leaves, we won't have to do this whole thing.
- Uh, Topanga.
- Cory, hi.
Isn't this exciting? I'm on my way to Florida.
Yeah.
Um Look, I'll get right to it.
You and me, we've been apart for three months now, you know, and Well, I don't know about you, but I've still got all these feelings for you.
I have feelings for you too, Cory.
That's why we're always going to be friends, right? Well, yeah, but, come on, tell me you haven't thought about us getting back together.
Well, yeah, I've thought about it, but, I mean, it's really hard for me to trust you when this new Cory Matthews is running around dating all those other girls.
I- I went out with those other girls because I hated being alone, but even with them I was still alone because I wasn't with you.
Cory, that's really sweet.
Hey, Topanga.
Is this yours? Yeah.
It's my carry-on of hair products.
I'll be right back.
Cory, I thought about the other night.
I was silly to run away.
No.
No.
Running away was good.
You should have run further.
You're such a gentleman.
That's why, when I get back from Florida I want to make things work between us.
"I was still alone because I wasn't with you.
" You know, Topanga, apparently you're not seeing the humor here, which is surprising.
Laugh.
Go ahead, laugh with me.
Cory, you know what I see? You in a robe, wearing slippers, smoking a pipe.
- Wha? - Cory Matthews, you're a a playboy! Window or aisle seat? Hi, everyone.
Hi.
I'm Alexandra Morris.
I'd like to welcome you to the Living Seas Pavilion.
For the next week, we're gonna be studying and observing dolphins.
Right out here.
Oh, my gosh.
Come on, I'll show you where they play.
Didn't I tell you my Uncle Nicky would take care of our travel arrangements? We took a cargo plane, Shawn.
I sat next to a crate of live chickens.
You see this? Peck marks.
Oh, come on, Cor.
We're here.
"The happiest place on earth.
" Yeah? Then why am I so miserable? You gotta do what you came here to do.
Find Topanga and tell her you still love her.
I know.
I mean, she's the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.
How can I not have her in my life? Shawn, there's tens of thousands of people.
You know? I mean, we got this much chance of finding her.
Well, we better get started.
It could take days.
Oh, and excellent oral report, Cory Matthews.
Thank you.
OK.
We've got a five minute break now, Cor, and then we've got gym.
So come on.
Here we Don't struggle.
Get in there.
There we go.
All right.
- Mr.
Matthews, what are you doing? - I just put my books away.
I thought I saw you stuff your brother into your locker.
Now, why would I want to go do something like that? I don't know.
But I clearly saw a curly-haired boy enter your locker.
Why would I want a curly-haired boy in my locker? Again, I don't know.
Now, get him out of there.
George, can I grab a word with you a second? Mr.
Turner, I'm busy right now, but I'll be with you in a minute.
There's no Cory in here.
Do you think I'm a dummy, Mr.
Matthews? No.
Not you.
I'll see you in detention.
Shawn, we've been standing in this line for over a half an hour.
- Now, Topanga better be on this ride.
- Who said anything about a ride? - Churro? - Are you kidding me? Come on, let's go.
We talk about communicating with dolphins.
The truth is we don't speak their language.
But we certainly understand their emotions.
This is Amber.
She was found beached.
We brought her here to nurse her back to health, but because she's been separated from her family and, quite possibly, her mate, she spends her time alone and, most distressing, she's lost her appetite and won't take food.
- Well, what's gonna happen? - I don't know.
But I'm hoping she's reunited with her mate real soon.
- Shawn, I have a feeling Topanga's here.
- Why? Because we've looked everywhere else.
Brilliant! There she is.
Look at her.
She's so beautiful.
You know what? I'm just gonna go over there and tell her that I love her.
I mean, that I've loved her since the day our eyes met and that I will love her till the day I die.
And what do you think she's gonna say when she hears that? - I love you too, Cory.
- Exactly.
- Kristen.
- Coming all the way to Florida for me.
That's so romantic.
- No, you don't understand.
- Oh, but I do.
Oh, boy.
Oh.
Ow.
My back.
Every disk out of whack.
Major pain.
Oh! Best night's sleep I ever had.
You think they sell these at the gift shop? A thousand miles away from home.
I didn't get the girl I came for and I slept in a log.
You know what that makes me, Shawn? A log-sleeping loser.
You know, I was just fooling myself thinking there's still a spark between me and Topanga.
Come on.
Let's go home.
- OK.
- Shawn! My heart's been skewered and you're not gonna talk me into staying? Well, why? You gave it your best shot.
Clearly she's more interested in Ronnie Waterman.
Wait a second.
I have something to offer her.
Passion.
Deep passion and a history.
Shawn, I came here to woo her and, by gum, woo her I will.
- So we're staying then? - Of course we're staying.
Oh.
I see what you just did.
Reverse psychology.
You let me think I was a loser to show me I'm really not a loser.
No, I just think she and Ronnie make a really cute couple.
- Shawn! - But not as cute as you and Topanga.
Look, all I know is it's a new day and when I sweep Topi off her feet I want to be clean and fresh.
Cory, where are we gonna find a shower? Now, where do we find a towel? Topanga.
You haven't touched your food.
Guess I've just been thinking about someone.
- About me, huh? - No.
Now, what is it with you? I mean, ever since we got here you've been trying to kiss me.
And if I let you, then what? Then you leave because you got your prize.
Well, I'm not a prize and I hate it when guys chase me - and the more they chase me - Topanga! - the more I get turned off.
- Topanga! - Topanga.
- You know, what is it with your friend? He's just showing how much he loves you.
This one was my idea.
Topanga! Topanga! Uh, maybe you didn't know, but that was me in that tank.
I did know and I'd like you to stop chasing me, all right? Please.
What are you talking about? Look at everything I've done for you.
I mean, I flew here, I dressed in harem pants and a fez, which you know I don't pull off.
- I swam with the fishes, I - Cory.
You could hire the blimp, fly over Florida flashing my name in neon and it wouldn't mean a thing to me.
Oh, God, please don't look up.
I mean, they're all just meaningless gestures.
Mean How can they be meaningless? They come from my heart.
I really wish I could believe you.
I really do.
But how can I when every time I turn around, there you are with another girl? Oh, Topanga, come on, every time? Kristen, right? Cory, I was in the tank behind you.
You're a fast swimmer.
Look, Topanga, you can't keep running a Oh.
You're not Topanga.
What's a Topanga? Sorry, it was just someone I was looking for.
I thought she'd be here, but I-I guess not.
I'll-I'll just get out of your way and let you do your fish work.
I don't work here.
I was just on a tour and I decided to hang back on my own.
Just me and a few dolphins and a big old bucket of smelts.
- Wanna help me feed 'em? - Yeah, sure.
This one doesn't seem hungry.
Yeah, the trainer was telling me all about her.
Her name's Amber.
She's separated from her mate and she's having a really rough time.
She's just an animal.
Just an animal? How do you get off saying something like that? - Oh, I'm sorry, I just - Apologize to her.
I'm serious.
- I'm sorry.
- Personalize it.
I'm sorry, Amber.
If there's one thing I've learned hanging around here, it's that animals are like people.
They have real emotions.
I just wish I could get her to eat.
Maybe you'll have better luck.
What is your name? Cory.
Cory, well, I hope you find who you're looking for.
So, Amber, you're separated from your mate, huh? I know how you feel.
Not that Topanga's my mate or anything.
I just believe she is.
It's funny though.
You know, people tell you to get on with your life, go date, there's plenty of other fish in the sea.
Like I need to tell you.
But, see, we know that once you've met that special person it's hard to live knowing they're out there and they're the only one you care about.
All those things I did, I wasn't just trying to impress her, I just didn't know how to express my feelings.
Well, at least I tried, you know? And now I'm talking to a fish.
See you, Amber.
Cory.
I heard what you said.
Wait.
No.
Look, Topanga, I read you loud and clear.
- But, Cory - I understand you, all right? I'm not gonna chase you anymore.
We'll just go back to being friends or whatever it is you want to be.
Cory, you got on a plane and flew across the country to see me.
I know, OK? I'm embarrassed.
I didn't even get the free miles.
I mean, you dressed in silly outfits, you swam with sharks.
I kn There were sharks in there? I mean, it was like you were not gonna give up no matter what.
Look, how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry? No.
No.
Now it's my turn to tell you I'm sorry.
I mean, I never realized these things came from your heart.
Until now.
Wait, wait.
I'm really confused.
So am I.
So what's going on? I mean, are we friends or what? Or what.
What are we doing? I don't know.
I mean, we did break up for a reason, right? Yeah, we did.
And that reason was So we could get back together.
Cory, gone for two days, what did you think you were gonna tell us? I was out front chipping golf balls? For starters, this house and school are the only two places you're gonna see for the next month.
A month? I got more the time I said.
- Morgan! - Morgan! You get up to your room there.
You're grounded for two months.
I gotta learn self-control.
And, Cory Go ahead, Morgan.
Kick me when I'm down.
I thought what you did for Topanga was really sweet.
I hope some day a boy does that for me.
Look.
What I did was wrong, OK? But just in case there's any chance of leniency Here.
Snow domes from Disney World.
Upstairs.
Then I'll be taking these back.
Cory? I'm glad everything worked out with you and Topanga.
Me too, Mom.
You may keep yours.
Hey, Mom, Dad.
You, sit down.
We know it was you who covered for Cory while he was in Orlando.
Now, without evidence, there's no way for you to tie me to this messy affair so I bid you farewell.
Ah, Mr.
Matthews.
I was planting in the garden and I dug this up.
I believe it's yours.
Oh, come on.
Is this the best you can do?
