[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?
IBIsaiah "Zay" Babineaux
Ah, read mine. Read mine.
(reads) "I forgive you for figuring out the end of every movie and shouting it out before it happens."
IBIsaiah "Zay" Babineaux
Because, see, we don't want to know.
I just want to share my abilities with my friends.
We don't want your abilities.
IBIsaiah "Zay" Babineaux
Your abilities make us want to hurt you.
(talks to Maya and Riley as they leave Mr. Matthews' classroom) Riley, Maya, movie with me?
"Nobody gets out of Monkey Town."
(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?
Of course I can. "Oh, let's give him one more chance." "Hey!" Then you chase me, and then I scream.
IBIsaiah "Zay" Babineaux
Oh, let's give him one more chance.
It's just too much fun! Ahh! (Lucas and Zay chase Farkle)
Topanga MatthewsYou don't think I can do this, do you?
KHKaty 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?
CCustomer
Yeah, give me the cheesecake.
Topanga Matthews
You want to try that a different way, chief?
Topanga Matthews
Do you want to take piano lessons?
Topanga Matthews
Anything worth doing takes work.
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?
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.
Topanga Matthews
[about Maya] What's wrong with her?
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]
Topanga Matthews
Oh, yeah... We broke her.
We need to report on our cultural heritage.
Topanga Matthews
Ooh, good idea. Wish we had one.
RMRiley Matthes
We're not anything?
Topanga Matthews
We are multi-generational American.
So I got no story? What about Auggie?
Topanga Matthews
He's a rescue. He could be anything.
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.
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.
So, we don't try to control it?
Topanga Matthews
No.
Topanga Matthews
Yes.
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.
I would like to begin with peace talks.
Topanga Matthews
Is this an apology?
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?
Topanga Matthews
Daughter.
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.
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!
[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.
[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.
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.
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.
Told you she would make the right decision.
