Cory's class) People, freedom! No homework, more
The following is the transcript for
Girl Meets World (episode):
Interior. The Matthews' Apartment.
Riley's Bedroom.
Riley: Why do we need to sneak
out of the house if we're not doing
anything wrong until we sneak onto
the subway?
Maya: You think you're ready to
just walk by your parents?
Riley: I think I'm ready.
Maya: Let me see your face as
you walk by your parents.
Riley: (makes a face)
Maya: Why are you making that
face at us, Riley?
Riley: Because I'm sneaking out
to the subway. (points to window)
Out the window.
Maya: Let's go. (Her and Riley
climb out of the window)
Riley: (To Cory) Daddy! What are
you doing out here?
Maya: (To Cory) Being smarter
than me; how come you're always
smarter than me? (her and Riley
climb back into the room)
Cory: (climbs in window and
says to Riley) Here's what I'm
thinking. (Maya and Riley sit on bed)
It's not your world yet. It's still my
world. Because if it was your world,
Maya would have you on the
subway already, thinking you put
something over on me. But you
didn't. Know how I know? Look at
you. You're right here.
Riley: How long do I have to live
in my father's world?
Cory: Until you make it yours.
Riley, do you know what I want
more than anything? Go ahead.
Make it yours.
Riley: I will. And when I do, will
you still be there for me?
Topanga: (enters) Right here. We'll
be right here.
Riley: (exits with Maya)
Interior. Bleecker Street Subway
Station. Maya and Riley enter.
Dweezil: (Playing garbage cans as
drums, as Maya and Riley dance
along)
Maya: Dweezil!
Dweezil: Maya! Who's the new
chick?
Riley: Chick! Down here I'm a
chick! No wonder my parents don't
want me on the Subway.
Maya: (Starts walking, and Riley
follows)
Gretchen: You're slouching,
Maya.
Maya: Thanks, Gretchen! (Poses,
walks forward, then to the side)
Riley: (Follows Maya)
Interior. New York City Subway.
Maya and Riley are inside.
Riley: (applies lip gloss)
Maya: Woah, Riley, you don't do
lip gloss.
Riley: Oh! What I forgot to
mention is that I'm completely
reinventing myself. I ride the
Subway now, I have kiwi lips now,
and I'm just as cool as you now!
Maya: (looks over Riley's
shoulder) Yeah, let's see how cool
you can be when you look at him.
Riley: (Turns around)
Lucas: (Smiles at Riley)
Riley: (awkwardly smiles, then
turns to Maya and giggles)
Maya: Yeah, you're gonna need
some lessons. Let me show you
everything you need to know about
boys and girls. (Walks over to Lucas
and says to him) Hi, I'm Maya.
You're really cute. We should hang
out sometime. You make me happy.
You don't pay enough attention to
me. This isn't working out. It's you,
really. (Walks away) He's available.
We just broke up.
Riley Are you okay? Do we need
to talk about it?
Maya: You still wanna be like me?
Riley: I want to be exactly like
you. I think too much and you don't
think at all.
Maya: See? You get me, so let's
not think. (Unlatches Riley's hand
from the bar)
Riley: (falls into Lucas's lap) Hi.
We were just talking about you. You
used to go out with my friend,
Maya.
Lucas: I'm Lucas.
Riley: I love it.
Evelyn: (enters) Perhaps someone
would like to give their seat to
someone older. (Lucas stands up)
Not you, sweet potato pie.
Riley: Please don't make me
move. I just wanna see where this
goes.
Evelyn: I've just worked a 12-hour
shift and I just wanna see where this
(Points at her booty) goes. Okay?
Riley: [sighs] 'Kay. (Walks to
Maya and says to her) That was
great!
Maya: You're welcome.
Riley: What if that was the best
moment of my life? What if nothing
ever happens to me again?
Maya: (smiles, and unlatches
Riley's hand again)
Riley: (falls into Evelyn's lap)
Evelyn: (Looks at Riley and says to
Lucas) It's for you. (Puts her into
Lucas's lap)
Title sequence. Then: Interior. John
Quincy Adams Middle School
hallway. Maya and Riley are at their
lockers.
Riley: Did you have trouble with
the homework?
Maya: Piece of cake.
Riley: You didn't do it, did you?
Maya: I don't even know where
my books are.
Riley: (Opens her messenger
bag, and hands Maya her books)
Here. And they're heavy. (Bell rings,
and Riley and enters a classroom
with Maya) You have to do the
homework, Maya. This teacher's
insane, a total nut job. I think there's
something seriously wrong with
him.
Cory: Hi, honey.
Riley: Hi, Daddy.
Cory: You're late to your father's
class.
Maya: Oh, don't worry, Mr.
Matthews, you wrote her a note.
Cory: I did?
Maya: You did. (Hands the note
to Riley)
Riley: (To Cory) You did. (Hands
the note to Cory)
Cory: (Reading the note) Riley's
late. Deal with it. Oh, you got my
signature down pretty good this
time.
Maya: Oh it was easy, you write
like a girl.
Cory: (To his class) Okay, let me
get back to jamming some learning
in your heads, The Civil War.
Maya: The Civil Bore.
Cory: Thank you, future Mini-
Mart employee of the month.
Maya: Would I be making more
money than you?
Cory: (Pauses and then says to
his class) The Civil War! Anybody?
Riley: A war we fought against
ourselves.
Cory: What, you actually studied
it?
Riley: No, I'm actually living in it.
(Smacks her head on her desk)
people, are we here to learn or not?
Cory: What do you mean,
Farkle?
Farkle: I've been in love with Riley
since the first grade. But I'm also
equally in love with Maya. Some
might say the great mystery of the
universe is who's gonna be the first
Mrs. Farkle.
Maya: (Turns around) You don't
want this.
Farkle: Bring it on.
Riley: (To Maya) I always
thought that he'd wind up with
back-of-the-class Brenda. (Everyone
turns around)
Brenda: (Waves)
Farkle: (Disgusted) Yuck!
Cory: Actually, the great mystery
of the universe is how you can love
two women the same who couldn't
possibly be more different.
Riley: We're not so different.
Farkle: (raises his hand and says
to Cory) May I overstep my bounds,
sir?
Cory: You always do. (Switches
places with Farkle)
Farkle: (flips over the name tag on
Cory's desk so it says "Farkle"
instead of "Mr. Matthews" and
Farkle says to Cory's class) Riley, is
the sun. Warm and bright and lights
up my whole day. Maya, is the night.
Dark and mysterious. And the night
has always been a mystery to me.
Because I go to bed at 7:30. How
can I love these two different
women? How can I not? (Bows)
Thank you, I am Farkle!
Cory: (To his class) So, we were
indeed trying to find out who we
were, as a people. Who am I? What
should I be? History shows that bad
things happen when you don't know
who you are.
Lucas: (Enters)
Cory: Who are you? I don't know
who you are.
Riley: (whispers to Maya)
Subway boy!
Lucas: (To Cory) I'm Lucas Friar,
from Austin, Texas. (Hands Cory a
note)
Cory: Oh. New student, Mr.
Friar?
Lucas: Yes, sir.
Cory: Great. You're just in time
for today's assignment. Have a seat.
Lucas: (sits in the seat behind
Riley)
Riley: (looks at Lucas)
Cory: (To his class) Okay, so we...
(walks to Riley, and turns her head
forward) So, I'd like you guys to
open your books to page 48. Now,
I'd like you to turn to page 1. Now,
I'd like you to read from page 1 to
48. (everyone groans) Oh, too bad
on you. Okay, so for tonight's
assignment, I'd like you to write me
a three page essay on anything.
Anything at all, that you guys believe
in so strongly, you fight for it.
Maya: That. I'd fight for no
homework. I come here every day;
why can't you teach me everything I
need to know while I'm here.
Riley: Woo! (Looks at Cory and
says to him) Not woo!
Maya: He gets our days, let's take
back our nights. No homework,
more freedom! (To Cory's students)
Who's with me? (With the class) No
homework, more freedom! No
homework, more freedom! No
homework, more freedom!
(Whispers to Riley) This is it, kid. You
wanna be like me? Stand up. (Starts
chanting) No homework, more
freedom! No homework, more
freedom!
Cory: What are you doing?
Riley: I'm making a choice about
who I want to be, about whose
world I want it to be.
Cory: Riley, I know you. You
know exactly who you are.
Riley: Then who am I, Dad?
Cory: You're just like me.
Riley: Oh, yeah? Would you do
this? (Starts chanting) No
homework, more freedom! No
homework, more freedom! (To
Farkle) Farkle, are you with us or
not? No homework, more freedom!
No homework, more freedom!
Farkle: My education? Or my
women? My education? Or my
women? My education? Or my
women? (Gets dazed and says to
Cory) Oh, it's happening again, sir.
(Faints)
Interior. Matthews' apartment.
Topanga is in the family room.
Riley: (Enters) Ma!
Cory: (Enters and says to
Topanga) Ma!
Topanga: (To Cory and Riley)
Whatever this is, do not put me in
the middle of the two people I love
equally. Just kidding! (To Riley)
Come here, honey. (hugs Riley)
Riley: My teacher followed me
home. Can we keep him? Can we
keep him? Please say no.
Cory: (To Topanga) She walked
out of my class. She's trying to be
Maya.
Topanga: (To Riley) Why would you
want to be Maya?
Riley: Because she's cool, she
has a wild side. She does what she
wants.
Topanga: But you're such a good
person!
Riley: Who cares about that? (To
Cory and Topanga) Do you really
think I'm one of those girls who
follows all of the rules and never
gets into trouble?
Cory: I was hoping.
Riley: (To Cory and Topanga) Do
you think I'm well-raised?
Topanga: Half!
Riley: (To Cory and Topanga)
How important is it that you don't
know me at all? (Exits)
Topanga: (To Cory) Let's get
married. Let's have a kid. Let's have
another kid.
Cory: Well, you listened to me,
you big stupid.
Interior. Matthews' apartment.
Auggie and Riley are sitting on a
window seat.
Riley: Am I the type of person
who always plays it safe? Is this who
I'm going to be for the rest of my
life? Am I ever going to take a risk
that changes my destiny?
Auggie: (To himself) Do bears
know how to smile? Why is cake
always so delicious? Will my
drawings ever get any better?
Riley: Are you making fun of me?
Auggie: No, I think just like you
because we're twins.
Riley: We're not twins.
Auggie: (To Topanga) Mom! (Exits)
Interior. John Quincy Adams Middle
School cafeteria. Maya and Riley are
sitting down to eat lunch.
Maya: (about Lucas) Aww, look at
him looking for a place to fit in.
Riley: You think he'll sit with us?
Maya: (slides over so there's a
chair between her and Riley)
Farkle: (sits in the chair between
Maya and Riley and says to them)
Ladies.
Maya and Riley: (In unison)
