Felicity s01e09 Episode Script
Thanksgiving
Previously on "Felicity" I know you don't think what happened was rape, but it was.
I know.
You have a girlfriend, and you kissed me? Well, it wasn't like a planned attack.
What's her name? Um, it's Hanna.
Hanna? Her name is Hanna? I kissed you for a million reasons, but one of them is that I miss my girlfriend.
I said, "Ma, if Nono's gonna be there for Thanksgiving, count me out.
" Good for you.
What did she say? There's a little space out back by the garbage.
She's gonna leave him out there.
Wait.
So, uh, Nono's a dog? No.
Billy! What What are you doing? Oh, he's so incompetent.
Felicity: Dear Sally so I had Thanksgiving all figured out Thursday night, big family dinner; Friday night, see Uncle Harvey; and over the course of the weekend, put up with my parents with as much grace as possible.
But I've noticed lately that my life never seems to go as planned.
Hi.
Hey.
How are you doing? Fine.
Why does everybody keep asking me that like I'm about to burst into tears? So you don't want me to ask if you're okay? Only if I'm about to burst into tears.
Can I have a double latte? Yes.
God, it is so weird ordering from you.
It'll be even weirder when you tip me.
Well, if you keep asking me if I'm okay, no tip.
Are you finished packing yet? I'm having major brain freeze in the packing department.
I'm staying.
What? Yeah, you know, the more I thought about going home, the sillier it seemed, and I got this Ethics paper due, and then Christmas is so soon anyway, so Really? Are you sure you won't get a little lonely? No.
Unh-unh.
It's gonna be really nice.
And I'm not gonna be totally alone, 'cause Noel's gonna be here.
He's staying for that dorm-monitoring thing.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I just saw him on my way over here.
He said that, um that Hanna's coming.
Really? Wow.
So, uh, Noel's girlfriend is coming to stay with him? We finally get to meet Hanna? Actually, I get to meet Hanna.
She doesn't get there until after you leave tomorrow, but I will give you a full report.
Thank you.
Yes, Lewis? I've come to say goodbye.
I'm leaving this this blessed plot this teeming womb.
Oh, is, uh is this for good? What? No, man.
It's for vacation.
Okay, Lewis, I'll see you in five days.
You bet, man.
Help! Is this big enough? You're a genius.
- Oh, you want me to babysit a plant? - Yeah, it's over there.
It's It's an avocado pit in a glass of water.
Yeah, it blooms.
Those things turn into huge plants.
Oh, and you can take your magic 8-ball back.
I knew I left it somewhere.
I got so desperate, I started using it to help me pack.
- Is Felicity excited about going home? - Outlook good.
"It is decidedly so.
" There you go.
"Outlook good" isn't here.
You mean "Outlook not so good.
" - No, I got "Outlook good" this morning.
- Uh, that's impossible.
I swear to God, I got "Outlook good.
" That's why I packed my mock turtleneck.
Well, we could break it open and look inside, but that - would release the magic - Here, I'll show you.
- All right.
- Watch.
Is Noel's girlfriend coming to New York? Oh, yeah, I was gonna tell you about that.
Um Hanna is coming tomorrow, sort of a last-minute thing.
Can I just say one thing? You never say one thing.
You can talk to me about Hanna.
- You do know that? - Mm-hmm.
No, my sources say, "No.
" I can't.
I'm serious.
We're friends, right? It is decidedly so.
Hey.
So where's your razor? - My razor? - Yeah.
Packed it.
- You're not leaving till tomorrow.
- Yeah, but I packed my razor today because it's my razor.
Have you seen my Palo Alto track T-shirt? You know what? Check Richard's room.
That dude's got sticky fingers.
Man, l-I really can't spend all day looking for this stuff.
I got to go pick up my plane ticket home.
Wow.
In the future there's gonna be really big planes.
So you, uh you psyched to get back to sunny California? Yeah.
Yeah, it'll be good to see my parents.
You know, I'm going to this huge family thing my brother throws out on Long Island.
It's always amazing.
You've been using my razor this whole time? And your deodorant.
Is that a problem? Oh, hey! Have you seen Noel anywhere? Uh, no, not since yesterday.
Wow, are you taking all those home? I'm gonna need all the distractions I can get.
That's That's really good of you, taking all those books home.
Which Which ones do you have in there? - All of them.
- Really? Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.
Have fun with your dad.
That would be a first.
Julie? I went home.
I'm not there.
Go away.
What are you doing? All right, I can ask if you're okay now, right? Don't get all worried about me.
I'm really okay.
It's just everything that's happened in the past few weeks, I'm not sure what to say to my parents.
I don't even know if I'm ready to see them.
Okay, I want to say the right thing here, so, um Okay, I honestly don't want you to think I'm all screwed up, because I'm not.
But I think maybe when you said that I would be lonely if I stayed here by myself, you were right.
Yeah, Noel will be here, but it's not like he's a really good friend.
It's not like having you here.
So it was a pretty easy decision, actually.
I called my parents and and told them I wasn't coming home, that I needed to stay for a friend.
Julie: Are you sure about this? I mean, have I totally, like, ruined your Thanksgiving? No, of course not.
Like you said, Christmas break is so soon.
We'll be back in a few weeks anyway.
I'm glad I'm here.
We'll do our own Thanksgiving and just pig out.
Oh, I'll make this really great sweet potato stuff my dad always does.
And I won't once ask you how you're doing.
Hanna, this is Julie.
She's one of my, uh one of my advisees, uh, who's from Maine.
Julie's from Maine.
Uh, this is Hanna.
- Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
And, uh, yeah, this is Felicity.
Welcome to New York.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, Felicity comes from She doesn't care where I'm from.
California.
Yeah, and I'm from Boston.
As if it matters.
- Did you eat beets? - No.
He gets this allergic hyper reaction when he eats beets.
So these are, uh, a couple of the kids from the dorm.
Julie: So, Noel said that you were supposed to come tomorrow.
Yeah, I was gonna drive, but then I found this website that lists cheap flights on short notice.
And you know most couriers only let you bring one bag on board? Well, these guys let you bring three.
Or four, apparently I'm so lame.
I'm on vacation, and I brought all this work.
Wow.
So you you play music? Well, I'm not the best pianist actually.
I compose.
I have this one piece I just can't finish.
- So when are you guys leaving? - We're not.
Julie and I are staying here now.
That is fantastic.
- Great.
- You're sweating.
Are you okay? The bags made me sweat, uh, quite a bit.
I told you not to carry them all.
- It was nice meeting you guys.
- Julie: Yeah, you too.
So, uh, I can get my plant back? Noel: Right, your plant.
See, okay, Felicity gave me a plant that she had to watch it and change the water, which I was happy to do 'cause I'm a resident advisor.
Um, so, um you'll get that back today.
- Are you sure you didn't have beets? - I might have had some beets.
- Bye.
- Our room's right down here.
She seemed nice.
- Are you hungry? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Good.
Hey! Hey.
I thought you went home already.
Nah, there was some screw-up with my plane ticket, and I have to go track it down.
It's a big drag.
- What are you guys doing? - We're staying in the dorm for Thanksgiving.
You're staying here? Why? Because, uh, we thought it'd be fun.
You know, "first Thanksgiving on our own" kind of thing.
If your ticket thing doesn't work out, you should come tomorrow around 6:00.
Nah, it'll work out going home.
Well, good luck, and say hi to Palo Alto for me.
Yeah, I will.
I will.
Have fun.
- Bye.
- Bye.
They sell these satellite systems for $300 plus installation, but this was a floor model.
It's got a dent on the side.
So, um, the managers drew straws, and I won.
Fred Boyden was not happy.
What's that? Oh, yeah.
It keeps wanting to jump back to channel 528 Indian programs.
I can fix that.
So, um, I got a 94% on my Inorganic Chemistry midterm, the second-tightest score in the class.
I thought you might want to see it.
Oh, thats really something.
A 94%.
Second-tightest in the class? Well, the highest grade went to a junior, so Thats really something.
Well, it's good to have you home.
Yeah.
I've seen that game show before.
That guy ends up with paint all over him.
So, you want to go to the store with me? I've got to start cooking tonight if we're gonna get everything ready.
Oh, Evie and her family invited us over for Thanksgiving.
- I told them we'd come.
- You did? I wanted to cook something for just the two of us.
It'll be fun to go over to Evie's.
It'll be a big group.
It'll be nice.
What is this? You remember any Spanish from high school? I took French in high school.
So I have kind of big news.
What? I've been accepted into the New York Conservatory.
- I didn't even know you applied.
- I didn't know I'd get in.
And I'm not sure why they accepted me, really.
It's just that after we had that talk where you said that it'd be so much better if we were together, I figured, " What the tell? You know, if I don't get in, it wasn't meant to be.
" You're not happy? No, I'm just I'm just catching up.
This is I'm just catching up, all right? That's all.
This is Oh, wow! So what does this mean? It means that if I want to if we want to I can transfer here next semester.
You don't seem happy.
No, I'm Wow! That is fantastic.
You're doing the thing.
Your hand's on your forehead.
That does not mean that I'm not wildly enthusiastic.
It means you're stressed-out.
I think this is this is great.
We don't have to decide right now.
You've got the R.
A.
stuff you're supposed to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I should, uh - You can come if you want.
- That's okay.
I'm gonna stay here, finish my coffee, read The Voice.
- I'll meet you back at the room.
- Okay.
- We're gonna talk about this later.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Noel! Ben: Yeah, hey, Mom.
You're not going to believe this, but I didn't get the ticket today.
I gotta do a tracer thing.
What do you mean? Oh.
Oh, I just I thought you wanted me to come.
No, it's fine.
It's fine.
It's not a big deal.
Yeah, I forget things all the time.
Well, you know, you could have called and told me about it, because I ran around all day looking for the stupid thing.
Yeah.
Okay, I gotta go.
Ma, I gotta go.
Okay.
Bye.
Hey.
Eat as many of those as you possibly can.
- Okay.
- No, I'm serious.
I figured this out last year.
You eat constantly before Thanksgiving, your stomach expands to three times its normal capacity.
The big day comes, what happens? - I don't know.
- More room for turkey.
Oh, good.
So, when are you taking off? I'm just gonna stick around here.
Yeah, I found out about this thing at Kelvin.
It's, like, food and music.
It should be really fun.
Yeah, well this thing my brother throws out on Long Island, it's not really a family thing, per se.
It's more like this big blowout fireworks.
Wow.
That sounds good.
- It's going to be great.
- Yeah.
If you need another one, let me know.
Uh, I'll let you know.
Damn, there is, like, a free-range turkey shortage of epic proportions.
He was definitely acting weird.
Are we back on Noel again? - What do you think it means? - I thought we already went over this.
He and Hanna are just getting re-adjusted.
It's hard to get back on track.
He's probably just He's overwhelmed.
It's just such a strange feeling not being able to just go to Noel's room and knock on the door and have him answer, all happy to see me.
Try him on Monday.
I am so sick of calling all of these places.
Maybe I'll just go turkey-shop in the morning while you're setting up everything.
Does that sound okay? What if he never answers the door like that again? Sorry.
Yes, you turkey-shop downtown in the morning, and I will set up.
- That sounds great.
- Good.
Hi.
- You scared me.
- Sorry.
I seem to be having that effect on people.
I forgot my moisturizer.
Do you - Sure.
Thanks.
This is zit cream.
Oh, my my roommate, uh, she must have left that.
I This is moisturizer.
Guys are unbelievable, aren't they? I mean, they say one thing, but then they panic when you call them on it.
- You mean Noel? - Yeah.
We've been talking about me moving to New York.
It's just getting complicated.
Noel's acting weird.
He's, um, probably just re-adjusting.
What? He's He's probably just re-adjusting.
Um, it takes a while to get back on track sometimes.
Yeah, I guess.
I just don't want to fight with him.
If it makes you feel any better, uh, he talks about you all the time.
Thanks for saying that.
- Good night.
- Good night.

Hey.
How'd it go? Well not sure.
That's the turkey? That's what I'm not sure about.
I ended up at this place down in Chinatown and, well The guy said it was a free-range turkey, so - Okay.
- What? What? What? What do you think? I think that it's got fur.
Those aren't feathers? Wow! You guys are cooking? Yeah, um - You want to join us? - You don't want my help.
I'm the worst cook in the world, which Noel can attest to.
I can do grilled cheese.
That's about it.
Well, we're gonna have a really big dinner tonight if you guys want to come.
Oh, well, thats up to Noel.
He won't tell me our plans.
We we've got reservations at Ye Waverly Inn.
Those are the plans so, mm-hmm - The Waverly Inn could be fun - Ye - Ye Ye Waverly Inn.
- Well, this could be more homey.
Actually, I've been really been looking forward to Ye Waverly Inn.
I've had dreams about it.
Okay.
Thanks for the invite, though.
We're going to Ye Waverly Inn.
God, what a jerk.
He didn't mean anything by it.
He's just Re-adjusting, I know.
What are we gonna do about the turkey problem? - No, you missed it by that much.
- Oh! So, Nono's back in the house.
She said, "It's just not Thanksgiving without him.
" That's That's too bad.
So, what is this advice we're talking about? We need some turkey advice.
Okay.
You have a pen for me to write this down? - Write what down? - It's simple.
Just listen closely.
You'll remember, okay? Do not stuff this turkey, okay? Just simply remove the little gifts from the inside.
You know what I'm talking about.
Set them aside, okay? Take an oiled brown paper bag, put the turkey inside the bag.
Thank you very much.
Pour one quart of water into the bag.
Tap water, okay? You got to keep this bird moist, okay? Roll the bag over.
for a 15-pounder.
You will love me.
Um we don't have an oven.
Or a turkey, which is why I came to see you.
So you can't make the recipe.
Uh, we just thought with you in the food business, you could maybe tell us a place to get a free-range turkey.
Today?! You must be joking.
I ordered mine two months ago.
Well, then how about you come have Thanksgiving with us, and you bring a turkey, and we'll do everything else? I'm just kidding.
What time? Javier, you don't actually have to Just tell me what time.
I'm curious.
I bought soda and wine for tonight.
Where have you been all day? Oh, just shopping.
I stopped by Stack's place this morning.
He needed some help with something at the garage.
Uh, it took longer than I thought.
- What is this? - I'm going back to the dorm.
I have work to do, and my computer's there.
It's just easier.
You're going back after dinner, right? No, I'm going back now.
But we made plans to go to Evie's.
She's expecting you.
- No one will notice if I'm not there.
- Evie will notice.
I told her we'd come.
They made food for us.
Dad, I came home to see you, and for the past two days, you've either been fixing your TV or visiting your friends.
You came to see me? Honey, you go to school a half an hour away.
You haven't been home in three months.
That's right a half an hour away.
The trains go both ways.
You've never even seen where I live.
Tell Evie I'm sorry.
See you later.
- Hanna: This modem's pretty slow, huh? - Not really.
I mean, it's a V.
90.
- Really? Must be a dirty line.
Did I tell you I got a new computer? Oh, not an iMac.
Those things are so beautiful.
Actually, no, it's a PC - What? - Yeah.
It's cable-modem ready as soon as they're available.
You bought a PC? Yeah.
So you're you're not a MAC person anymore? Most of the titles we use are cross-platform.
There are your apartment listings.
Okay, so what do you think of TriBeCa? Uh, is TriBeCa a good place to live? "Outlook good.
" Hey, "Outlook good.
" I don't really know the city very well.
Could you help me out here? Well, l-I am helping um"Outlook good.
" Could you put the toy down, please? I'm just trying to make this fun.
I'm just trying to find a place to live.
Is that what you're wearing to the party? Yeah, I guess.
Why? I don't know.
It's just It's kind of casual.
- Yeah, it's casual.
- No, I mean I know it's a party, but Thanksgiving's also a traditional holiday.
People usually get a little more dressed up.
Look at you.
Well, I'm just about to get changed myself.
I say go with a nice shirt, black jeans classic contempo-casual look.
Contempo, what? Trust me.
If anybody knows fashion - All right, I'll change.
- Good.
Okay, cool.
- You gonna be back late? - Yeah, probably.
Yeah, me too.
Oh, it's been four minutes.
Sorry.
What? These These just don't look like my dad's sweet potatoes.
- I'm sure theyll still be good.
- No, they they look terrible.
What is it, the the sweet potatoes? No, it's not the stupid sweet potatoes.
I know this is going to sound like I'm about three years old, but part of me wants my parents to just walk in here, put their arms around me, and just not say anything.
But if I told them, if they knew what happened to me, I swear that would change who I am to them, and they would never look at me the same way again.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll tell them at Christmas.
You should tell them when you're ready to tell them.
Are those mini-marshmallows in there? Those look great.
Thanks.
I'm going to the store.
Does anyone need anything? No, thanks.
So, you were right.
I saw "Outlook good.
" Mm-hmm.
See? Uh, "Yes, definitely" Did you ever Did you ever see that one? Julie, I'm gonna go wash these.
Okay, try the men's room.
It's got a bigger sink.
Don't ask me how I know that.
Right.
She's mad.
Well, I guess so.
You haven't exactly been friendly.
I know.
I know.
I don't know what it is.
You know, it's like it's like a chemical reaction.
When Felicity and Hanna are together, I just Ugh! I lose control of my motor functions.
I just panic.
I become Ew! A spaz, you know? I mean, it's insane.
It doesn't make sense, does it? What, does it? Yeah.
Yeah right.
All right, excuse me.
Hi.
Hey, I didn't know that you stayed.
Yeah, the ticket thing never got resolved, so You look really nice.
Thanks.
Thanks.
- So, are you gonna ignore me permanently? - No, not permanently.
And I'm not ignoring you, I'm talking to you without looking at you.
- That's different.
- Felicity, look, I'm sorry Are you sure you want to call me by my name? I thought I was just one of your kids in the dorm.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Am I an embarrassment to you? I mean, is that what I am when your real life comes to town, just like this idiot advisee on your floor? No, no, of course not.
Listen I hate not being able to talk to you, you know that? It's, like, one of the worst things I can think of.
Really? Don't get flattered by that.
That's not what that's about, okay? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, your beautiful symphony-composing girlfriend can move to New York tomorrow.
It doesn't bother me, and I'm not jealous, okay? I mean, because even if I was, what difference does it make now? Because you and Hanna are like Hey.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Um, where where's Julie? I think she went to try to find some more plates.
We don't have enough plates.
What should we do?! Uh, Sean's got plenty of plates back at the loft.
I could go grab some.
Can you? And maybe some spoons and forks and some whatever just plastic, regular that would be so awesome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
That That's, uh, Hanna.
And And she's, uh, Noel's girl girlfriend from Boston.
His girlfriend, really? Okay.
I'm Ben.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Uh, I'm gonna go grab that stuff.
Okay, yeah, hurry.
Because the turkey's gonna be here really soon with a guy.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I thought you were going home.
- Yeah, you too.
Uh, I'm gonna go get some plates, so Oh, look what I brought! Ha ha! Okay.
Whoa! That is a big turkey! Wait, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? What is all this? - I need to put this down.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Okay, I need to make this nice.
Um, can you guys excuse me for a minute? Where are you going? Hyperventilate.
I'll be right back.
- Didn't you go home? - Uh, nah.
Something came up, and I decided to come back.
Well, good, 'cause we have a lot of food.
All right.
This turkey smells so good.
Okay, we need candles here.
Where Where are the candles? We We can't have the dinner without candles.
- Candles? - Candles.
And you're going to get dressed, yes? You look nice, but for basketball.
Oh, my God.
Noel, I know you want to go to dinner, but I'm feeling kind of tired.
Okay, um, I mean, we can eat here if you want.
- I mean, they said theres room.
- Okay, sure.
Have you tried the PC lately? You know, they're not so bad.
Well, yeah.
I mean, they ripped off the MAC operating system.
They're great now.
Is this crazy, what we're talking about doing? No.
Um What do you mean? We don't have to talk about this now.
Maybe Maybe we should.
Okay.
When I went out just now, it was I made a phone call to a guy at Northwestern who I've sort of been spending time with.
Nothing's happened yet.
I mean, we havent slept together or anything.
I like him.
But I thought it was because I missed you and was lonely.
I thought I'd get here and see you, and we'd make this plan.
Yeah.
It just doesn't feel right, does it? No.
I wanted it to.
I've, uh I've sort of had the same thing.
Really? H- Have l-I met her? Never mind.
I don't want to know.
I don't.
The stupid thing is, I still love you but things are different now.
Aren't they? Yes, they are.
Sean: Hey.
Hey.
Hey, man, what happened to the What happened to that party? - What are you doing here? - Well, I just I didn't feel like going, you know, to the, uh to the bash.
Yeah, I thought you really wanted to go, though.
Yeah, I did, and then I called my cousin up and said I wasn't really up it.
- Why did you call your cousin? - What? I thought you said your brother was throwing the party.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I called my cousin.
There's no party? No, there's a party.
Uh, not one I'm actually, you know, invited to, but You know what? I'm cool here, though.
I got room for three 12-inch subs.
You're all right? Yeah.
You sure? Yeah, I'm good.
- You're sure you're all right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, uh, so are you gonna come with me, or what? Can I go like this? Of course.
The jacket.
Hey.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'll be okay.
Thanks.
It's weird how how things change.
Isn't it? Yeah.
He's a great guy.
I know.
* The moon wanted more of my night * * I turned off the engine and headlights * * The trees appeared as theyd never been gone * * I promised the fields I'd return from now on * * And the moon kept on rising * * I had no more to say * * I put my road maps away * * and surrendered the day * * And I know you'll be calling me soon * * and if I don't answer, I'm calling the moon * * Calling the moon * * I was calling her then * * I'm wondering, "Will she take me again?" * * I'm calling the moon * * When I called the moon back to me * * I thought she wanted my beauty * * I shone in the best that vanity buys * * I covered the path where my life turned to lies * * And the moon kept on rising * * but I felt nothing at all * * She comes when the empire falls * * and shines on crumbling walls * * Calling the moon by the name that she chose * * as Tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes * * I'm calling the moon * * Calling the moon * * I'm calling the moon * * Oh, make sense of me, night * * I can see so much from this cold heigth * * The moon said, " Oh, darkness, my work is done * * I've poured this bottle of light from the sun" * * But their anger keeps on rising * - Sally: Dear Felicity I planned on spending Thanksgiving by myself this year.
I thought it would be too hard to try and celebrate the holiday with new friends in this new place, but then Emmett and a bunch of friends from work showed up at my place with all this food.
It's incredible, really.
One minute you're standing in this new city with nothing but your suitcase, and then you look around, and suddenly, you realize - * I'm calling the moon * you're surrounded by family.
I know.
You have a girlfriend, and you kissed me? Well, it wasn't like a planned attack.
What's her name? Um, it's Hanna.
Hanna? Her name is Hanna? I kissed you for a million reasons, but one of them is that I miss my girlfriend.
I said, "Ma, if Nono's gonna be there for Thanksgiving, count me out.
" Good for you.
What did she say? There's a little space out back by the garbage.
She's gonna leave him out there.
Wait.
So, uh, Nono's a dog? No.
Billy! What What are you doing? Oh, he's so incompetent.
Felicity: Dear Sally so I had Thanksgiving all figured out Thursday night, big family dinner; Friday night, see Uncle Harvey; and over the course of the weekend, put up with my parents with as much grace as possible.
But I've noticed lately that my life never seems to go as planned.
Hi.
Hey.
How are you doing? Fine.
Why does everybody keep asking me that like I'm about to burst into tears? So you don't want me to ask if you're okay? Only if I'm about to burst into tears.
Can I have a double latte? Yes.
God, it is so weird ordering from you.
It'll be even weirder when you tip me.
Well, if you keep asking me if I'm okay, no tip.
Are you finished packing yet? I'm having major brain freeze in the packing department.
I'm staying.
What? Yeah, you know, the more I thought about going home, the sillier it seemed, and I got this Ethics paper due, and then Christmas is so soon anyway, so Really? Are you sure you won't get a little lonely? No.
Unh-unh.
It's gonna be really nice.
And I'm not gonna be totally alone, 'cause Noel's gonna be here.
He's staying for that dorm-monitoring thing.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I just saw him on my way over here.
He said that, um that Hanna's coming.
Really? Wow.
So, uh, Noel's girlfriend is coming to stay with him? We finally get to meet Hanna? Actually, I get to meet Hanna.
She doesn't get there until after you leave tomorrow, but I will give you a full report.
Thank you.
Yes, Lewis? I've come to say goodbye.
I'm leaving this this blessed plot this teeming womb.
Oh, is, uh is this for good? What? No, man.
It's for vacation.
Okay, Lewis, I'll see you in five days.
You bet, man.
Help! Is this big enough? You're a genius.
- Oh, you want me to babysit a plant? - Yeah, it's over there.
It's It's an avocado pit in a glass of water.
Yeah, it blooms.
Those things turn into huge plants.
Oh, and you can take your magic 8-ball back.
I knew I left it somewhere.
I got so desperate, I started using it to help me pack.
- Is Felicity excited about going home? - Outlook good.
"It is decidedly so.
" There you go.
"Outlook good" isn't here.
You mean "Outlook not so good.
" - No, I got "Outlook good" this morning.
- Uh, that's impossible.
I swear to God, I got "Outlook good.
" That's why I packed my mock turtleneck.
Well, we could break it open and look inside, but that - would release the magic - Here, I'll show you.
- All right.
- Watch.
Is Noel's girlfriend coming to New York? Oh, yeah, I was gonna tell you about that.
Um Hanna is coming tomorrow, sort of a last-minute thing.
Can I just say one thing? You never say one thing.
You can talk to me about Hanna.
- You do know that? - Mm-hmm.
No, my sources say, "No.
" I can't.
I'm serious.
We're friends, right? It is decidedly so.
Hey.
So where's your razor? - My razor? - Yeah.
Packed it.
- You're not leaving till tomorrow.
- Yeah, but I packed my razor today because it's my razor.
Have you seen my Palo Alto track T-shirt? You know what? Check Richard's room.
That dude's got sticky fingers.
Man, l-I really can't spend all day looking for this stuff.
I got to go pick up my plane ticket home.
Wow.
In the future there's gonna be really big planes.
So you, uh you psyched to get back to sunny California? Yeah.
Yeah, it'll be good to see my parents.
You know, I'm going to this huge family thing my brother throws out on Long Island.
It's always amazing.
You've been using my razor this whole time? And your deodorant.
Is that a problem? Oh, hey! Have you seen Noel anywhere? Uh, no, not since yesterday.
Wow, are you taking all those home? I'm gonna need all the distractions I can get.
That's That's really good of you, taking all those books home.
Which Which ones do you have in there? - All of them.
- Really? Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.
Have fun with your dad.
That would be a first.
Julie? I went home.
I'm not there.
Go away.
What are you doing? All right, I can ask if you're okay now, right? Don't get all worried about me.
I'm really okay.
It's just everything that's happened in the past few weeks, I'm not sure what to say to my parents.
I don't even know if I'm ready to see them.
Okay, I want to say the right thing here, so, um Okay, I honestly don't want you to think I'm all screwed up, because I'm not.
But I think maybe when you said that I would be lonely if I stayed here by myself, you were right.
Yeah, Noel will be here, but it's not like he's a really good friend.
It's not like having you here.
So it was a pretty easy decision, actually.
I called my parents and and told them I wasn't coming home, that I needed to stay for a friend.
Julie: Are you sure about this? I mean, have I totally, like, ruined your Thanksgiving? No, of course not.
Like you said, Christmas break is so soon.
We'll be back in a few weeks anyway.
I'm glad I'm here.
We'll do our own Thanksgiving and just pig out.
Oh, I'll make this really great sweet potato stuff my dad always does.
And I won't once ask you how you're doing.
Hanna, this is Julie.
She's one of my, uh one of my advisees, uh, who's from Maine.
Julie's from Maine.
Uh, this is Hanna.
- Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
And, uh, yeah, this is Felicity.
Welcome to New York.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, Felicity comes from She doesn't care where I'm from.
California.
Yeah, and I'm from Boston.
As if it matters.
- Did you eat beets? - No.
He gets this allergic hyper reaction when he eats beets.
So these are, uh, a couple of the kids from the dorm.
Julie: So, Noel said that you were supposed to come tomorrow.
Yeah, I was gonna drive, but then I found this website that lists cheap flights on short notice.
And you know most couriers only let you bring one bag on board? Well, these guys let you bring three.
Or four, apparently I'm so lame.
I'm on vacation, and I brought all this work.
Wow.
So you you play music? Well, I'm not the best pianist actually.
I compose.
I have this one piece I just can't finish.
- So when are you guys leaving? - We're not.
Julie and I are staying here now.
That is fantastic.
- Great.
- You're sweating.
Are you okay? The bags made me sweat, uh, quite a bit.
I told you not to carry them all.
- It was nice meeting you guys.
- Julie: Yeah, you too.
So, uh, I can get my plant back? Noel: Right, your plant.
See, okay, Felicity gave me a plant that she had to watch it and change the water, which I was happy to do 'cause I'm a resident advisor.
Um, so, um you'll get that back today.
- Are you sure you didn't have beets? - I might have had some beets.
- Bye.
- Our room's right down here.
She seemed nice.
- Are you hungry? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Good.
Hey! Hey.
I thought you went home already.
Nah, there was some screw-up with my plane ticket, and I have to go track it down.
It's a big drag.
- What are you guys doing? - We're staying in the dorm for Thanksgiving.
You're staying here? Why? Because, uh, we thought it'd be fun.
You know, "first Thanksgiving on our own" kind of thing.
If your ticket thing doesn't work out, you should come tomorrow around 6:00.
Nah, it'll work out going home.
Well, good luck, and say hi to Palo Alto for me.
Yeah, I will.
I will.
Have fun.
- Bye.
- Bye.
They sell these satellite systems for $300 plus installation, but this was a floor model.
It's got a dent on the side.
So, um, the managers drew straws, and I won.
Fred Boyden was not happy.
What's that? Oh, yeah.
It keeps wanting to jump back to channel 528 Indian programs.
I can fix that.
So, um, I got a 94% on my Inorganic Chemistry midterm, the second-tightest score in the class.
I thought you might want to see it.
Oh, thats really something.
A 94%.
Second-tightest in the class? Well, the highest grade went to a junior, so Thats really something.
Well, it's good to have you home.
Yeah.
I've seen that game show before.
That guy ends up with paint all over him.
So, you want to go to the store with me? I've got to start cooking tonight if we're gonna get everything ready.
Oh, Evie and her family invited us over for Thanksgiving.
- I told them we'd come.
- You did? I wanted to cook something for just the two of us.
It'll be fun to go over to Evie's.
It'll be a big group.
It'll be nice.
What is this? You remember any Spanish from high school? I took French in high school.
So I have kind of big news.
What? I've been accepted into the New York Conservatory.
- I didn't even know you applied.
- I didn't know I'd get in.
And I'm not sure why they accepted me, really.
It's just that after we had that talk where you said that it'd be so much better if we were together, I figured, " What the tell? You know, if I don't get in, it wasn't meant to be.
" You're not happy? No, I'm just I'm just catching up.
This is I'm just catching up, all right? That's all.
This is Oh, wow! So what does this mean? It means that if I want to if we want to I can transfer here next semester.
You don't seem happy.
No, I'm Wow! That is fantastic.
You're doing the thing.
Your hand's on your forehead.
That does not mean that I'm not wildly enthusiastic.
It means you're stressed-out.
I think this is this is great.
We don't have to decide right now.
You've got the R.
A.
stuff you're supposed to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I should, uh - You can come if you want.
- That's okay.
I'm gonna stay here, finish my coffee, read The Voice.
- I'll meet you back at the room.
- Okay.
- We're gonna talk about this later.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Noel! Ben: Yeah, hey, Mom.
You're not going to believe this, but I didn't get the ticket today.
I gotta do a tracer thing.
What do you mean? Oh.
Oh, I just I thought you wanted me to come.
No, it's fine.
It's fine.
It's not a big deal.
Yeah, I forget things all the time.
Well, you know, you could have called and told me about it, because I ran around all day looking for the stupid thing.
Yeah.
Okay, I gotta go.
Ma, I gotta go.
Okay.
Bye.
Hey.
Eat as many of those as you possibly can.
- Okay.
- No, I'm serious.
I figured this out last year.
You eat constantly before Thanksgiving, your stomach expands to three times its normal capacity.
The big day comes, what happens? - I don't know.
- More room for turkey.
Oh, good.
So, when are you taking off? I'm just gonna stick around here.
Yeah, I found out about this thing at Kelvin.
It's, like, food and music.
It should be really fun.
Yeah, well this thing my brother throws out on Long Island, it's not really a family thing, per se.
It's more like this big blowout fireworks.
Wow.
That sounds good.
- It's going to be great.
- Yeah.
If you need another one, let me know.
Uh, I'll let you know.
Damn, there is, like, a free-range turkey shortage of epic proportions.
He was definitely acting weird.
Are we back on Noel again? - What do you think it means? - I thought we already went over this.
He and Hanna are just getting re-adjusted.
It's hard to get back on track.
He's probably just He's overwhelmed.
It's just such a strange feeling not being able to just go to Noel's room and knock on the door and have him answer, all happy to see me.
Try him on Monday.
I am so sick of calling all of these places.
Maybe I'll just go turkey-shop in the morning while you're setting up everything.
Does that sound okay? What if he never answers the door like that again? Sorry.
Yes, you turkey-shop downtown in the morning, and I will set up.
- That sounds great.
- Good.
Hi.
- You scared me.
- Sorry.
I seem to be having that effect on people.
I forgot my moisturizer.
Do you - Sure.
Thanks.
This is zit cream.
Oh, my my roommate, uh, she must have left that.
I This is moisturizer.
Guys are unbelievable, aren't they? I mean, they say one thing, but then they panic when you call them on it.
- You mean Noel? - Yeah.
We've been talking about me moving to New York.
It's just getting complicated.
Noel's acting weird.
He's, um, probably just re-adjusting.
What? He's He's probably just re-adjusting.
Um, it takes a while to get back on track sometimes.
Yeah, I guess.
I just don't want to fight with him.
If it makes you feel any better, uh, he talks about you all the time.
Thanks for saying that.
- Good night.
- Good night.

Hey.
How'd it go? Well not sure.
That's the turkey? That's what I'm not sure about.
I ended up at this place down in Chinatown and, well The guy said it was a free-range turkey, so - Okay.
- What? What? What? What do you think? I think that it's got fur.
Those aren't feathers? Wow! You guys are cooking? Yeah, um - You want to join us? - You don't want my help.
I'm the worst cook in the world, which Noel can attest to.
I can do grilled cheese.
That's about it.
Well, we're gonna have a really big dinner tonight if you guys want to come.
Oh, well, thats up to Noel.
He won't tell me our plans.
We we've got reservations at Ye Waverly Inn.
Those are the plans so, mm-hmm - The Waverly Inn could be fun - Ye - Ye Ye Waverly Inn.
- Well, this could be more homey.
Actually, I've been really been looking forward to Ye Waverly Inn.
I've had dreams about it.
Okay.
Thanks for the invite, though.
We're going to Ye Waverly Inn.
God, what a jerk.
He didn't mean anything by it.
He's just Re-adjusting, I know.
What are we gonna do about the turkey problem? - No, you missed it by that much.
- Oh! So, Nono's back in the house.
She said, "It's just not Thanksgiving without him.
" That's That's too bad.
So, what is this advice we're talking about? We need some turkey advice.
Okay.
You have a pen for me to write this down? - Write what down? - It's simple.
Just listen closely.
You'll remember, okay? Do not stuff this turkey, okay? Just simply remove the little gifts from the inside.
You know what I'm talking about.
Set them aside, okay? Take an oiled brown paper bag, put the turkey inside the bag.
Thank you very much.
Pour one quart of water into the bag.
Tap water, okay? You got to keep this bird moist, okay? Roll the bag over.
for a 15-pounder.
You will love me.
Um we don't have an oven.
Or a turkey, which is why I came to see you.
So you can't make the recipe.
Uh, we just thought with you in the food business, you could maybe tell us a place to get a free-range turkey.
Today?! You must be joking.
I ordered mine two months ago.
Well, then how about you come have Thanksgiving with us, and you bring a turkey, and we'll do everything else? I'm just kidding.
What time? Javier, you don't actually have to Just tell me what time.
I'm curious.
I bought soda and wine for tonight.
Where have you been all day? Oh, just shopping.
I stopped by Stack's place this morning.
He needed some help with something at the garage.
Uh, it took longer than I thought.
- What is this? - I'm going back to the dorm.
I have work to do, and my computer's there.
It's just easier.
You're going back after dinner, right? No, I'm going back now.
But we made plans to go to Evie's.
She's expecting you.
- No one will notice if I'm not there.
- Evie will notice.
I told her we'd come.
They made food for us.
Dad, I came home to see you, and for the past two days, you've either been fixing your TV or visiting your friends.
You came to see me? Honey, you go to school a half an hour away.
You haven't been home in three months.
That's right a half an hour away.
The trains go both ways.
You've never even seen where I live.
Tell Evie I'm sorry.
See you later.
- Hanna: This modem's pretty slow, huh? - Not really.
I mean, it's a V.
90.
- Really? Must be a dirty line.
Did I tell you I got a new computer? Oh, not an iMac.
Those things are so beautiful.
Actually, no, it's a PC - What? - Yeah.
It's cable-modem ready as soon as they're available.
You bought a PC? Yeah.
So you're you're not a MAC person anymore? Most of the titles we use are cross-platform.
There are your apartment listings.
Okay, so what do you think of TriBeCa? Uh, is TriBeCa a good place to live? "Outlook good.
" Hey, "Outlook good.
" I don't really know the city very well.
Could you help me out here? Well, l-I am helping um"Outlook good.
" Could you put the toy down, please? I'm just trying to make this fun.
I'm just trying to find a place to live.
Is that what you're wearing to the party? Yeah, I guess.
Why? I don't know.
It's just It's kind of casual.
- Yeah, it's casual.
- No, I mean I know it's a party, but Thanksgiving's also a traditional holiday.
People usually get a little more dressed up.
Look at you.
Well, I'm just about to get changed myself.
I say go with a nice shirt, black jeans classic contempo-casual look.
Contempo, what? Trust me.
If anybody knows fashion - All right, I'll change.
- Good.
Okay, cool.
- You gonna be back late? - Yeah, probably.
Yeah, me too.
Oh, it's been four minutes.
Sorry.
What? These These just don't look like my dad's sweet potatoes.
- I'm sure theyll still be good.
- No, they they look terrible.
What is it, the the sweet potatoes? No, it's not the stupid sweet potatoes.
I know this is going to sound like I'm about three years old, but part of me wants my parents to just walk in here, put their arms around me, and just not say anything.
But if I told them, if they knew what happened to me, I swear that would change who I am to them, and they would never look at me the same way again.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll tell them at Christmas.
You should tell them when you're ready to tell them.
Are those mini-marshmallows in there? Those look great.
Thanks.
I'm going to the store.
Does anyone need anything? No, thanks.
So, you were right.
I saw "Outlook good.
" Mm-hmm.
See? Uh, "Yes, definitely" Did you ever Did you ever see that one? Julie, I'm gonna go wash these.
Okay, try the men's room.
It's got a bigger sink.
Don't ask me how I know that.
Right.
She's mad.
Well, I guess so.
You haven't exactly been friendly.
I know.
I know.
I don't know what it is.
You know, it's like it's like a chemical reaction.
When Felicity and Hanna are together, I just Ugh! I lose control of my motor functions.
I just panic.
I become Ew! A spaz, you know? I mean, it's insane.
It doesn't make sense, does it? What, does it? Yeah.
Yeah right.
All right, excuse me.
Hi.
Hey, I didn't know that you stayed.
Yeah, the ticket thing never got resolved, so You look really nice.
Thanks.
Thanks.
- So, are you gonna ignore me permanently? - No, not permanently.
And I'm not ignoring you, I'm talking to you without looking at you.
- That's different.
- Felicity, look, I'm sorry Are you sure you want to call me by my name? I thought I was just one of your kids in the dorm.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Am I an embarrassment to you? I mean, is that what I am when your real life comes to town, just like this idiot advisee on your floor? No, no, of course not.
Listen I hate not being able to talk to you, you know that? It's, like, one of the worst things I can think of.
Really? Don't get flattered by that.
That's not what that's about, okay? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, your beautiful symphony-composing girlfriend can move to New York tomorrow.
It doesn't bother me, and I'm not jealous, okay? I mean, because even if I was, what difference does it make now? Because you and Hanna are like Hey.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Um, where where's Julie? I think she went to try to find some more plates.
We don't have enough plates.
What should we do?! Uh, Sean's got plenty of plates back at the loft.
I could go grab some.
Can you? And maybe some spoons and forks and some whatever just plastic, regular that would be so awesome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
That That's, uh, Hanna.
And And she's, uh, Noel's girl girlfriend from Boston.
His girlfriend, really? Okay.
I'm Ben.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Uh, I'm gonna go grab that stuff.
Okay, yeah, hurry.
Because the turkey's gonna be here really soon with a guy.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I thought you were going home.
- Yeah, you too.
Uh, I'm gonna go get some plates, so Oh, look what I brought! Ha ha! Okay.
Whoa! That is a big turkey! Wait, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? What is all this? - I need to put this down.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Okay, I need to make this nice.
Um, can you guys excuse me for a minute? Where are you going? Hyperventilate.
I'll be right back.
- Didn't you go home? - Uh, nah.
Something came up, and I decided to come back.
Well, good, 'cause we have a lot of food.
All right.
This turkey smells so good.
Okay, we need candles here.
Where Where are the candles? We We can't have the dinner without candles.
- Candles? - Candles.
And you're going to get dressed, yes? You look nice, but for basketball.
Oh, my God.
Noel, I know you want to go to dinner, but I'm feeling kind of tired.
Okay, um, I mean, we can eat here if you want.
- I mean, they said theres room.
- Okay, sure.
Have you tried the PC lately? You know, they're not so bad.
Well, yeah.
I mean, they ripped off the MAC operating system.
They're great now.
Is this crazy, what we're talking about doing? No.
Um What do you mean? We don't have to talk about this now.
Maybe Maybe we should.
Okay.
When I went out just now, it was I made a phone call to a guy at Northwestern who I've sort of been spending time with.
Nothing's happened yet.
I mean, we havent slept together or anything.
I like him.
But I thought it was because I missed you and was lonely.
I thought I'd get here and see you, and we'd make this plan.
Yeah.
It just doesn't feel right, does it? No.
I wanted it to.
I've, uh I've sort of had the same thing.
Really? H- Have l-I met her? Never mind.
I don't want to know.
I don't.
The stupid thing is, I still love you but things are different now.
Aren't they? Yes, they are.
Sean: Hey.
Hey.
Hey, man, what happened to the What happened to that party? - What are you doing here? - Well, I just I didn't feel like going, you know, to the, uh to the bash.
Yeah, I thought you really wanted to go, though.
Yeah, I did, and then I called my cousin up and said I wasn't really up it.
- Why did you call your cousin? - What? I thought you said your brother was throwing the party.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I called my cousin.
There's no party? No, there's a party.
Uh, not one I'm actually, you know, invited to, but You know what? I'm cool here, though.
I got room for three 12-inch subs.
You're all right? Yeah.
You sure? Yeah, I'm good.
- You're sure you're all right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, uh, so are you gonna come with me, or what? Can I go like this? Of course.
The jacket.
Hey.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'll be okay.
Thanks.
It's weird how how things change.
Isn't it? Yeah.
He's a great guy.
I know.

I thought it would be too hard to try and celebrate the holiday with new friends in this new place, but then Emmett and a bunch of friends from work showed up at my place with all this food.
It's incredible, really.
One minute you're standing in this new city with nothing but your suitcase, and then you look around, and suddenly, you realize - * I'm calling the moon * you're surrounded by family.
