Maya has something very special, Riley. She paints from a place that few of us are able to reach.
That's because she has an awful life.
Maya HartI love it when I'm reminded.
Maya HartWhy are you my second, Huckleberry? Shouldn't you be over there with Riley?
Well, it was decided that if things get out of hand, I was the best choice to... contain you.
Maya HartOh, you think you can?
Yeah, but I'll probably pay for it pretty good.
You're the worst bully ever, Peaches.
Maya HartI know. "Peaches the bully" just doesn't strike fear into the hearts of anybody.
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 HartHi British Riley.
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 HartLook Riles, the farther away she goes, the smaller she gets.
[Maya is trying to talk Riley out of trying out for the cheerleading squad]
Maya HartHow many years are you gonna do this to me?
What am I doing to you?
Maya HartEvery 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.
Maya HartWhat's the difference between riding a sheep and riding a bull?
DEATH! Death is the difference!
He's going to do great, Maya. Zay, tell him he's going to do great.
[without conviction] You'll do great.
Maya HartTruth.
You're gonna die.
[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?
Ah, read mine. Read mine.
(reads) "I forgive you for figuring out the end of every movie and shouting it out before it happens."
Because, see, we don't want to know.
I just want to share my abilities with my friends.
We don't want your abilities.
Your abilities make us want to hurt you.
(talks to Maya and Riley as they leave Mr. Matthews' classroom) Riley, Maya, movie with me?
Are you crazy?
Maya HartNever again.
"She dies!"
Maya Hart"He blows up!"
"She's the killer."
Maya Hart"Nobody gets out of Monkey Town."
Are you crazy?
Maya HartHurt you.
(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?
Do you think you can?
Of course I can. "Oh, let's give him one more chance." "Hey!" Then you chase me, and then I scream.
Oh, let's give him one more chance.
Hey!
It's just too much fun! Ahh! (Lucas and Zay chase Farkle)
You don't think I can do this, do you?
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.
I could be a fine waitress. And what will you have, sir?
Yeah, give me the cheesecake.
You want to try that a different way, chief?
Do you give in to your feelings or let your mind rule over your heart?
Maya HartI follow my heart. It gets me into trouble.
What about you, Riley?
My mind tells me to do what's right.
Can anyone answer which is more valuable to follow?
It depends on the situation.
No, it doesn't.
[shouting] Just taking a shot!
Very passionate.
Thank you!
...And that's where we run into trouble.
You set me up!
Maya HartBoo, this class.
Do you even know which one it is?
Maya HartI'm gonna need a clue.
Doo dah, doo, dah, doo doo dah da-da-dah da-da dah! Science.
Morning, Farkle. What's new?
I'm reading this great book on anti-gravity. I can't put it down. Ha!
Ha!
Maya HartI hate this class.
Maya HartYou're my favorite person in the world. I wouldn't change a thing about you.
I wanna tear down the bay window.
Maya HartYou shut your face!
I'm not ready for high school and I don't wanna go.
Why not?
'Cause we did great here. This was the time of our lives! We were kings, Matthews. What will I be next year?
Not kings.
No. The opposite of kings. Freshmen. Worms. Worse than worms. Freshmen.
You'll do fine, Riley. You all will.
Also, and I don't say this a lot, but I like you.
You do?
Yeah. You said you had a lot more to teach us.
And I will. You're my daughter.
What about the rest of my friends, Dad? You need to teach all of us more.
Maya HartWe're a mess. We shouldn't feel. We don't know how to feel and you need to teach us how to not feel.
What?
Maya HartYou got one last lesson for the road?
Yeah. I do.
Maya HartWell, I've never said this before, but you have my attention.
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 HartAnd you were right. Look at us.
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.
What happens next, Maya?
Maya HartWhen 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 HartRiles?
Peaches?
Maya HartHow are you feeling today?
Well, I didn't cry all night.
Maya HartThat's good.
'Cause I stopped when I passed out from crying.
[Riley wants to create an alter ego]
Jexica!
Maya HartJexica?
Like Jessica, but x-ier.
