Riley Matthews quotes from Girl Meets World

Farkle Minkus

Japan loses, Riley.

Really loses.

Farkle Minkus

Tell her how bad they lose.

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

Riley Matthews

I would like to begin with peace talks.

Is this an apology?

Riley Matthews

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

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

Riley Matthews

Mother.

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.

Bad road, Riley.

Riley Matthews

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

[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!

Are we best friends?

Riley Matthews

How could you even ask me that?

Yeah, but what are best friends?

Riley Matthews

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

Would you give me your kidney?

Riley Matthews

I'd give you my left one.

I want your right one.

Riley Matthews

But that's Nicole Kidney!

We need to teach Maya the meaning of Christmas.

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

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.

[Topanga has been offered a job in London]

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?

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

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?

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.

Yeah, we called it a nook.

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.

Told you she would make the right decision.

Big world.

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.

Okay.

Riley Matthews

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

Thunder.

Riley Matthews

Lightning.

Done.
