Topanga Matthews and Riley Matthews in “Unfinished Business”

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.
