Felicity s02e22 Episode Script
Final Answer
Previously on "Felicity" What are you doing tomorrow? You have plans with Wade? I really don't want to talk about Wade right now.
What do you want to talk about? I don't know anybody that's waiting until they're married.
Yeah, you do.
- You don't need Ben.
- No Ben.
No.
- No.
- No.
I don't.
I don't need Ben.
You know what that is? It's a film canister.
No.
It's a time machine.
You hear that? What? That.
Sounds like sheets rustling.
- I don't hear anything.
- All I hear is your breathing.
- Are you about to have a heart attack? - What? What's happening? Oh, Felicity and Ben spent the night together.
Oh, my God! I so wish we had a camera in there.
You guys are like two creepy pornographers - Hey, come on.
- Let me finish that I used to date.
Do you think they had sex? Oh, how great would that be? Why would that be great? Oh, for our documentary.
Yeah.
For the subplot.
You guys are sick! What's going on? Shh! Felicity and Ben are inside.
Yeah, getting it on.
Doing the nasty.
You guys are spying on them? That's disgusting! Are you sure they're in there? No.
That's why I've got this.
This is a spy cam.
That way, we can see inside the room.
- Oh.
Bingo.
- What? I see blankets.
- He sees blankets.
- Isn't this illegal? - Wait a minute! Wait a minute! - What do we got? Ben.
He's mooning us.
Is Felicity in there? Yeah.
She's flashing us.
That's my girl.
Dear Sally last night was the most romantic night of my life.
We talked about everything.
About nothing.
I dont even know.
About how much we missed each other.
And even though it was exciting and fun more than anything.
It was a relief.
We both just felt that relief to be together again.
Ben told me about his mom and how she cant afford to pay his tuition anymore and how his friend Trevor got him this really well paying construction job in Palo Alto through September.
So we're gonna spend the summer together which means this is the happiest tape you've ever gotten from me.
I slept maybe twenty minutes last night but I've never felt this good ever.
You know, we should do that.
We should get one of those courier tickets and just go somewhere nuts.
I'd go anywhere.
How about a desert island? Yeah, like maybe London.
Or Bali.
Yeah.
Maybe maybe Australia.
When do you have to be back in Palo Alto? I gotta be back on the 26th.
You know what I could do.
Maybe I could, um, work some overtime and get off early and before the summer's over, we could go to, like we could go to, like, Hawaii.
Or Africa.
Yeah, Africa.
But before Africa or Hawaii before the summer can even start we have finals.
And I'm in trouble.
All I can concentrate on is Ben.
It's like that feeling at night when youre lying in bed and your mind is just bouncing all over the place and all you want to do is sleep.
But you just cant.
Look at that.
Look.
Look at that.
That's kind of distracting, isn't it? Yeah.
I mean, at least they could go somewhere private, you know? - You wanna go somewhere private? - Yeah.
Let's go.
All right.
Some, uh, caffeine-enhanced cola to help keep you awake while you study.
Oh, some some, uh, vitamins and some ginkgo biloba to keep you brilliant for all your finals.
Some Tums, of course, to keep you settled.
Oh, and some aspirin to keep you pain-free.
You'll make it through this.
And on the way home we'll pick up some fresh-ground coffee, too.
I just I just wish I had more time to study.
Two days from now, it's gonna be over, and no matter what youre gonna feel good just because it's done.
- You think? - Yeah, I'm sure of it.
It's the same feeling that I had after I told you that, uh you know.
What I told you.
Listen, when finals are, uh when your finals are done, you think maybe you could think about going out with me? OK.
Really? If I survive.
Youll survive.
You hungry? - Yeah.
- You wanna order a pizza? We could Cosmo it and rent a movie to watch at 2 A.
M.
when our brains are completely fried.
I can't.
I'm seeing Wade tonight.
He asked me to marry him.
What? Then he told me how much he wants to be in the baby's life.
And that a lot of people get married with less than that.
He said he wants to try and make it work.
Well, as your friend and former perceived father of this baby can I just say that's a crazy idea? He is a nice guy.
And he could really help support us, you know? It's not like my parents have that much money or anything.
I think it would be the best thing for the baby.
Yeah.
So you didn't say no.
So come on.
Give us some dish.
Did you have sex or not? Yes or no? No, we didn't have sex.
- What a waste.
- We're just taking our time.
See, but you could have sex.
That's the difference.
You could have sex and don't.
I can't have sex and would.
I think Sean's cute.
Oh, but what do I know? After that whole thing with Greg I'm in the mood for anyone.
- Yeah.
So is Julie.
- What? If you like Noel, why are you going out with Sean? I like Sean, too.
He makes me laugh.
And I couldn't say no when he asked me out.
You can't do that to him.
Youre gonna break his heart! I don't want to break his heart.
Maybe it'll work out.
Maybe we'll just have a really good time.
Yeah.
I think Sean's cute.
Hey.
Hey, so, uh, what are you making there, anyway? Smart cookies.
Ohh.
Smart cookies.
Do you remember the smart powder from last year? - Meghan thinks it helps you study.
- It does help.
It just tasted so bad.
Nobody could swallow it so now it'll be in tasty cookie form.
Believe me.
You guys will be begging for these puppies when youre up late cramming for finals.
Damn, I forgot the eggs! Don't touch anything.
Let's have sex.
What? - I gotta take a test right now.
- Wait! You can't say something like that - and go off and take some test! - It's not just some test.
It's my North American Indians final.
But what what about waiting until you get married? I thought about that, how my parents raised me my morals and ethics and stuff, and then I look at that tube top you got on.
So it's working.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go take some tests, but I'll call you later.
- All right.
- Yeah.
Oh, my God.
We're kidding ourselves! Look at us! OK, you know what? Youre done with finals tomorrow, right? And I'm done two days after that.
So that's only three days we need to stay apart.
Yeah, what about work? What about here? I mean, youre staying here now.
When we're not at Dean & Deluca, we won't hang out.
And when we're here, uh you can stay in your room, and I can stay on the couch.
OK.
Going to the library.
Yep.
Yep.
OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Not only is it Manet's finest painting I think and a superb example of the impressionist rejection of romanticism but it is also likely to appear on your final exam.
So we had a plan three days apart until finals were over and then we'd have the whole summer together in Palo Alto.
OK, so guess that's it.
Good luck.
Everybody.
I'll see you all at the final Felicity! When you asked me at the beginning of the semester if I knew of any summer internships, I didn't.
Right.
But I've just been asked to assist at the Metropolitan Museum this summer for a French impressionism exhibit.
You still interested? Oh, my God! To assist you? Well, your work so far this semester has been exceptional.
If you do as well on the final as I expect you will yeah, I'd be happy to talk to you about it.
Oh, my God.
so, I'd I'd be in New York all summer.
Depending on your final grade and how interested you are yeah, we'd be in New York all summer.
Yeah, that's so cool she asked you to do that.
Well, she didn't ask me.
It all depends on how I do on the final.
But, yeah.
I mean, it'd be a pretty amazing job.
Yeah.
Except, uh youd be here all summer.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Is there any way you could get a job here? Not like the one I got lined up.
I'm gonna make enough money working on that house to pay for all next year, so I don't want to not see you for three months.
I know.
I know but this internship could be really good for you.
Just like, don't turn it down before you get it.
Do great on the final, get her to make the offer official and we'll deal with it then.
Thanks.
I'm l'm not doing anything.
Yeah, you are.
Thank you.
Oh, my God, youre kissing! It really worked! I'm like your cupid.
Javier, it's not that big a deal.
OK, whatever, tough guy.
Now, I have something very important and very personable to talk to you and ask you.
Um as you may know I am getting married next week.
Samuel and I got a little gift for you.
You got a a gift for me? Yes.
We're giving it to all our ushers.
- Your ushers? - Yes.
We would like - you to ush for us.
- Yeah! Yeah.
OK, youre too slow.
It's a watch! Just like this one.
It's motion sensing thing.
You have to wind it like this.
OK, I got it.
And Felicity, um I would like you to be my best man.
Are you serious? I'm That's I'm so flatt Thank Yeah, of course! Oh, good! Oh, I didn't know what you were gonna say! Oh! Now I have the best-looking best man in the history of the world.
Javier.
OK, now go back to work, OK? And please, no more kissing 'cause they can see you from outside.
OK? I don't mind sitting here quietly with you.
I mean, I love it.
But if you wanna talk I was, uh I was thinking about Ruby.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah, Wade asked her to marry him.
Wow! Ha.
I know.
That was my reaction, too.
And she's actually considering it.
You know what I mean? Who is this guy? Some lame producer that she met on a movie.
They don't even know each other.
And yes, she's pregnant but that doesn't mean that they're supposed to spend the rest of their lives together.
Would you wanna do that? I mean, would you think about What, marrying her? If the baby was mine, definitely.
Yeah.
Uh, but now I don't know.
Maybe someday.
Well if you think that you could be there for her like that, then you should tell her that.
Here you go.
Julie would love this.
A helicopter tour? That's ridiculous.
How is that any more ridiculous than a hot-air balloon ride? I didn't suggest a hot-air balloon ride.
You did.
- Mmm.
Those cookies smell unbelievable.
- Yeah, I know.
What about a boat ride? What's with you and vomit-inducing transportation? It's supposed to be romantic.
Come on.
I need your help.
Fine.
Blow it.
See if I give a rat's ass.
Hey.
Ben this might sound like an incestuous question but you went out with Julie.
Where should I take her? What's that? Julie.
Where should I take her on our date? Oh, on your date.
Um, I don't know.
I mean, it's not where you go.
It's who youre with.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's right.
Right.
OK.
So, Felicity uh, she might get this internship job in New York over the summer, and I gotta be in California so I might not get to see her for, like, three months.
What? - You gotta do something.
- Yeah, you gotta do something really romantic.
Have you thought about a helicopter ride? Hey, you know what? Go nuts.
Get a hotel room.
Seriously.
Have the most romantic time you can possibly afford.
Yeah.
On a chopper.
Wow, these are the best cookies I've ever had.
You know, a hotel I think I'm gonna do that.
Ben and I were both being really responsible.
We kept our distance and everything until Thursday when all his finals were over.
Hey.
How's it going? Hey.
I don't know.
There are too many dates and titles to remember and they're all in French.
Well, I don't wanna interrupt, but the Sweetzer Plaza Sean has a friend that works there and got me a great discount on a room.
- A room? - Yeah! - What? - I can't go with you.
Yes, you can.
After you finish your exam tonight we'll go over, you know, we'll celebrate we'll have some time alone.
It's good.
OK.
Let's go.
- What, you wanna go now? - Yeah, come on.
I'm not gonna learn anything new in the next four hours.
This'll give me a break, let things kinda sink in.
All right, that's great.
Let's go hang until, like, 5:00.
come hang out afterwards, right? Yeah.
We'll get room service.
- Room service.
Oh, my gosh.
Let's go.
- OK.
I've been thinking about, uh, Wade's proposal and it makes sense, you know? It's actually kind of heroic you know, him trying to make this work despite everything.
But the real question is if you guys really care about each other.
We barely even know each other.
I I give him credit for for wanting to be involved.
I do.
But to just to see you with some guy who youre tied to because of circumstance, it kills me.
I don't think that you should go with him.
I think you should stay here with me.
And if if having a father I mean I mean, a husband is so important to you then we can talk about that.
Everything that you just said I've been wanting to hear for so long.
But I have been talking with my parents and they think I should come home.
They want to help take care of me and the baby.
So youd leave for good? After what you just said I'm not sure.
Seriously, this is the most comfortable bed of all time.
You like it better than those air mattresses at the loft? Oh, God, no.
Those are those are great! They're the best.
- Wait a sec.
- What? OK.
According to your fancy new usher watch, it is 3:30.
That means I have exactly an hour and a half until my final.
- An hour and a half.
- Hour and a half.
Trust me.
Dont do it.
Why not? Because you don't know what youre getting into here.
Tracy wants to sleep with me.
I know what I'm dealing with.
Look, guys have enough problems with sex as it is.
You throw God into the picture, they get mental.
Come on.
Let me explain something to you.
You sleep with a religious virgin it's like he's breaking up with God to date you.
And let me tell you from personal experience you do not wanna be the Yoko in a man's relationship with the Lord.
He asked me.
It's not like I'm forcing him to do anything.
Yep.
That's what I said when I slept with Chad Savage.
You slept with a guy named Chad Savage? Chad suffered a major crisis of faith which led to a nervous breakdown and an obsession which only now, after two years, is finally coming to an end.
Tracy is not gonna be locked up in a mental ward because he loses his virginity! Hey, don't go to bed with Tracy.
Go to church with Tracy.
At least until he gets busy with another girl and then bone all you want.
What? Do you wanna stop? No, I just I don't wanna feel rushed.
There's no rush.
You go take your test and come back.
We got the room all night, so there's no rush.
OK.
What time is it? it's 10 after 4:00 you got plenty of time.
OK.
That guy was really mad.
I can't believe no one's ever hit the exit sign with a dart before.
The exit sign was nowhere near the dartboard.
OK, this is it.
This is my last one of these cookies.
They're starting to make me feel a little weird.
I haven't tried those yet.
Are they good? Here.
Going out with Julie is a big deal man.
So whatever you decide to wear on the date just don't go with horizontal stripes.
- Why? - They make your ass look huge.
- OK, my ass or anyone's ass? - Yours in particular.
You know, I knew it was stupid to ask your advice on fashion.
So have you decided where youre gonna take her? Look, man, like Ben said it's not where you go.
It's who youre with.
I got news for ya, pal.
Youre no Ben, all right? You have to take her somewhere special.
It's tomorrow night.
I made a reservation at Cafe des Artiste, OK? Wow, check out Mr.
Fancy Pants! Thank you.
Before we go back to the loft will you stop by my storage unit with me? I got some old suits I wanna pull out.
I should get paid for being your friend.
Am I wrong, or did Professor Reeves specifically say there wouldn't be a question on Grignard reagents? Baby, I don't even wanna think about the exam.
Finals are over, and we are officially juniors.
I know.
I feel more mature already.
So, uh Noel's not here, huh? Maybe we should finish this in your room with the door closed and locked.
I mean youre so mature and all.
I'm glad we're hanging out.
Yeah.
This is cheering me up.
Being with you always puts me in a good mood.
Yeah.
I know what you mean.
What time is it? It's 10 after 4:00.
OK.
Wasn't it just 10 after 4:00? Um I don't know.
I don't know.
Is something wrong? Do you have anyone else on your mind? Any all-powerful entities or anything? What? Nothing.
No.
I like the gray suit.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Brings out your bone structure.
All right, youre freaking me out.
- What? - Coming up? I feel weird.
Me, too.
Are you OK? I can feel your heart beating.
What was in those cookies? I really think there was something in those cookies.
- Chocolate chips? - Yeah.
- I mean, if I can.
- Youll look great.
You sluts! I can't do it.
I can't compete.
Compete with who? The Lord.
I should probably get going now.
What time is it? It's 10 after 4:00.
It's what? - Oh, my God! It's after 6:00! - What? How could you make a move on Julie? I didn't make a move.
No.
She made a move on me.
- She made a move on me.
- Is that true? - Sean, listen to me for a sec.
- We had a date.
Oh, crap.
Did you eat the smart cookies? - Uh smart cookies? - Yeah.
There's beet powder in those things.
But I'm allergic.
It makes me it makes me hyper.
- It makes me really hyper! - Yeah, hypersexual! - You should be ashamed of yourself! - Oh, no, no.
It's not his fault.
It's the beet powder.
Does anybody else feel the spinning? Someone, God, please make it go away.
- You wanna sit down? - No! Have have another one.
My thing with God? What does God have to do with this, baby? This is about you and me! I don't want you to end up in a mental institution! Thanks! What? You have spring fever.
That's no reason to sacrifice your belief in God! - What if I want to? - Don't sacrifice it with me.
Would you rather I sleep with someone else first? No! Will you stop it? I can't handle this kinda pressure! - Did you do this on purpose? - Do what? - You wanted me to fail this final! - Are you nuts? Youre the one that wanted to come here before the test! You purposely didn't wind the watch! - You don't wind the watch! You do this! - Well, you purposely didn't do this! - We had a date! - We did not! No, I know who I have dates with and when I have them! Not you! Julie! God, I wish I had a video camera! Sean, we didn't have a date until tomorrow.
Because you had to study, right? Not kiss Noel! You should take her to Cafe de Sluts.
Hey.
Who kissed Noel - Julie.
- No! - Noel! - This just keeps getting better.
Where are you going? This is your place! That's how strongly I feel about this! - Where you going? - Away.
Wait Where are you going? To try and save my Art History grade.
You know I didn't do this on purpose.
I cant believe this.
It's a nightmare.
She thinks I did it on purpose like I knew what time it was like I was sabotaging her final.
But I didn't.
It was that stupid watch Javier gave me.
It broke.
Then I realized, you know what? Maybe I did see the clock but I didn't even think about it you know, like it didn't register so maybe it was kinda my fault.
I'm gonna eat all this candy, all right? Well, it's kind of expensive.
Well, I'm in an expensive mood.
Oh, man.
Don't be depressed about Julie.
Oh, OK.
Don't breathe air.
Hey.
- What what happened? - Oh, I got there too late.
The final was already over, and Professor Morton was gone.
Hi.
- Julie kissed Noel.
- What? Um, so what, did you go to her office? Yeah.
Uh, no one was there.
Hey, I'm sorry that I freaked out on you before.
- That's all right.
- It wasn't your fault.
That's all right.
It's all right.
Um, what are you gonna do about the final? Oh, well, I'll still pass the class.
I mean, actually, in a way, this is kind of better.
That way I know I didn't get the internship.
Yeah, well, um, I'm really sorry.
No, no, no, no.
Don't be.
It was worth it.
It was worth it.
You guys want me to wrap all this stuff up? If you want me to leave, - I can take it with me.
- No.
Stay.
We've got the room for the whole night, right? I'm gonna I'm gonna go take a shower.
OK.
Lucky bastard.
Dating a girl who's not gonna turn around and kiss Noel I guess she used to, so - What are you doing? - I'm calling Al that old security guard l used to work with.
- That guy's still alive? - Will you quit saying that? Hey, Al, it's Ben Covington.
Yeah, yeah, the kid with the goofy smile, yeah.
Listen, you told me that you had numbers for all the professors on campus.
I was wondering if I could get a number.
Look, no, I won't tell em where I got it from.
OK, thank you.
Thank you.
It's Professor Morton.
Professor Mary Morton.
Yeah.
Hey, what are you doing? I can't believe I did that to Sean.
I feel so guilty.
Me, too.
I feel like I was taking advantage of Tracy.
I just had to get out of there.
I should have just said no from the start.
- I'm such an idiot.
- I told you.
You were right.
What was I thinking? Same thing with me and Tracy.
I mean, I feel like this evil person or something.
You just want to have sex with your boyfriend.
That is not a crime.
I say go for it.
- Really? - Definitely.
Youre right.
I don't have to protect him.
If he wants to do it, I'm ready.
That table over there? OK, thank you very much.
- Professor Morton? - Yes? Excuse me.
I'm real sorry to bother you.
My name's Ben Covington.
I'm a student over at the college.
I tried calling a bunch of people to find your number and finally got a hold of your daughter.
- She told me you were here.
- What's the problem? It's Felicity Porter.
She's in one of your classes.
- I know Felicity.
- Yeah, listen it's totally my fault she missed her final today.
You see, we just started dating.
Um do you have a second? You have one second? Sure.
OK, thanks.
You see we were well, we were fooling around and we totally lost track of time.
See, I was wearing this watch that I got for being an usher.
My gay boss is getting married.
It's actually Felicity's gay boss, too.
But you know what? It doesn't matter that he's gay.
It doesn't matter at all.
He's getting married.
So this watch if you want to wind it up you gotta go like this, which I didn't do.
I got so caught up in the moment, and so did Felicity that time just kind of shot by, you know? I mean, you know what that's like, right? When you first start dating somebody and everything tastes better, and everything looks better and time just kinda flies by? Maybe that's what it was like when you two first met.
James is my brother.
Oh hey, James.
Look, she's real interested in this internship you told her about.
And I just had to come by here and make sure that I did whatever I could to make sure she still had a shot at it.
So this is my shot.
I see.
- Ben? - Yeah.
Ben well, I'll tell you what.
Here.
You give this to Felicity, OK? - OK.
- OK.
Thank you very much.
Um, I'm sorry to bother you.
You throwing all that away? Uh, well, Richard says I need a whole new wardrobe.
And I haven't been shopping in about four years.
Hey, is argyle is that still in? - Listen - Wait.
You don't have to explain anything to me.
OK? About Noel, about me.
I mean we weren't even going out.
We had a date.
We didn't even have a date.
We were about to have a date.
But I don't think we should I don't even think we should have a date.
Sean No, think about it.
If it was meant to be it probably would have happened already.
You know, we both live in the same apartment.
You know I love you, right? Yeah, I know.
- What are you still doing here? - Waiting for you.
You knew I'd finally come around? well, actually, um, I think I came around.
- What? - Yeah, um I wanted to thank you for stopping things before they went too far.
- Oh.
Really? - Yeah.
l I can't do it.
Um I don't know maybe it's, like, the stress of finals or something.
Maybe it's because I don't want to lose you.
Youre this amazingly smart, beautiful, sexy dynamic, incredible woman and you could have practically any guy you want.
I know other guys check you out.
I don't care about that.
No.
When you walked out like you did you made me remember why I'm not doing this yet.
You showed me you cared.
I showed you that? Get over here.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I wanted to say good-bye.
Look, Ruby, that kiss with Julie the other night No, no, it's not about the kiss with Julie.
Yeah, actually, in a way, it is.
Because that's what you should be doing.
You should be kissing girls and dating and having fun.
That's what college is.
I just don't fit into that world anymore as much as I wish I did.
Look, the truth is if I wasn't pregnant we'd have a stupid fight about Julie, and I'd forgive you, and And we'd hang out and grab a bite and study and kiss and I can't do that anymore.
I have to go home.
I told Wade the same thing.
When? When are you leaving? Tomorrow morning.
I didn't want to lose you.
I didn't want to lose you, either.
Maybe I'll send you a care package every now and then, huh? Yeah, I love those.
Good-bye.
Yeah, don't worry.
I'm done.
By the way, those cookies you made were spectacular.
You mentioned that.
I had no idea you were so talented.
A lot of things about me you don't know.
Oh, is that so? - Is that a new shirt? - Why, you like it? Oh, this is so wrong.
Hey, youre back.
Hey, yeah.
Youre still in your tub.
Well, I figured we shouldn't let this great bathtub go to waste.
Yeah.
So, the good news is, you can take your final.
What? Yeah, I didn't go home to get any clothes.
I got Morton's phone number, and I got a hold of her daughter.
And she told me where she was having dinner.
- And I went to see her.
- Are you kidding? Just now, you went to see her? Yeah, I didn't want to wait till tomorrow.
I didn't know if it'd be too late.
W- what did you say to her? What did she say? Well, that's kind of the bad news.
Um you can take your final, but it's not exactly a final.
It's a you have to write an essay.
An essay on Daubigny due tomorrow? I don't know anything about Daubigny.
It wasnt the most romantic night but it showed me we can work together so maybe we can work.
As much as I hoped my teacher would love what I wrote part of me wanted her to hate it.
I cant believe we stayed up all night working as hard as we could for the chance to spend the whole summer apart.
- Thank you.
- OK.
- She loved it.
- She did? That's our paper! I know.
And, uh, she offered me the museum job.
Oh, that's great.
What are you gonna do?
What do you want to talk about? I don't know anybody that's waiting until they're married.
Yeah, you do.
- You don't need Ben.
- No Ben.
No.
- No.
- No.
I don't.
I don't need Ben.
You know what that is? It's a film canister.
No.
It's a time machine.
You hear that? What? That.
Sounds like sheets rustling.
- I don't hear anything.
- All I hear is your breathing.
- Are you about to have a heart attack? - What? What's happening? Oh, Felicity and Ben spent the night together.
Oh, my God! I so wish we had a camera in there.
You guys are like two creepy pornographers - Hey, come on.
- Let me finish that I used to date.
Do you think they had sex? Oh, how great would that be? Why would that be great? Oh, for our documentary.
Yeah.
For the subplot.
You guys are sick! What's going on? Shh! Felicity and Ben are inside.
Yeah, getting it on.
Doing the nasty.
You guys are spying on them? That's disgusting! Are you sure they're in there? No.
That's why I've got this.
This is a spy cam.
That way, we can see inside the room.
- Oh.
Bingo.
- What? I see blankets.
- He sees blankets.
- Isn't this illegal? - Wait a minute! Wait a minute! - What do we got? Ben.
He's mooning us.
Is Felicity in there? Yeah.
She's flashing us.
That's my girl.
Dear Sally last night was the most romantic night of my life.
We talked about everything.
About nothing.
I dont even know.
About how much we missed each other.
And even though it was exciting and fun more than anything.
It was a relief.
We both just felt that relief to be together again.
Ben told me about his mom and how she cant afford to pay his tuition anymore and how his friend Trevor got him this really well paying construction job in Palo Alto through September.
So we're gonna spend the summer together which means this is the happiest tape you've ever gotten from me.
I slept maybe twenty minutes last night but I've never felt this good ever.
You know, we should do that.
We should get one of those courier tickets and just go somewhere nuts.
I'd go anywhere.
How about a desert island? Yeah, like maybe London.
Or Bali.
Yeah.
Maybe maybe Australia.
When do you have to be back in Palo Alto? I gotta be back on the 26th.
You know what I could do.
Maybe I could, um, work some overtime and get off early and before the summer's over, we could go to, like we could go to, like, Hawaii.
Or Africa.
Yeah, Africa.
But before Africa or Hawaii before the summer can even start we have finals.
And I'm in trouble.
All I can concentrate on is Ben.
It's like that feeling at night when youre lying in bed and your mind is just bouncing all over the place and all you want to do is sleep.
But you just cant.
Look at that.
Look.
Look at that.
That's kind of distracting, isn't it? Yeah.
I mean, at least they could go somewhere private, you know? - You wanna go somewhere private? - Yeah.
Let's go.
All right.
Some, uh, caffeine-enhanced cola to help keep you awake while you study.
Oh, some some, uh, vitamins and some ginkgo biloba to keep you brilliant for all your finals.
Some Tums, of course, to keep you settled.
Oh, and some aspirin to keep you pain-free.
You'll make it through this.
And on the way home we'll pick up some fresh-ground coffee, too.
I just I just wish I had more time to study.
Two days from now, it's gonna be over, and no matter what youre gonna feel good just because it's done.
- You think? - Yeah, I'm sure of it.
It's the same feeling that I had after I told you that, uh you know.
What I told you.
Listen, when finals are, uh when your finals are done, you think maybe you could think about going out with me? OK.
Really? If I survive.
Youll survive.
You hungry? - Yeah.
- You wanna order a pizza? We could Cosmo it and rent a movie to watch at 2 A.
M.
when our brains are completely fried.
I can't.
I'm seeing Wade tonight.
He asked me to marry him.
What? Then he told me how much he wants to be in the baby's life.
And that a lot of people get married with less than that.
He said he wants to try and make it work.
Well, as your friend and former perceived father of this baby can I just say that's a crazy idea? He is a nice guy.
And he could really help support us, you know? It's not like my parents have that much money or anything.
I think it would be the best thing for the baby.
Yeah.
So you didn't say no.
So come on.
Give us some dish.
Did you have sex or not? Yes or no? No, we didn't have sex.
- What a waste.
- We're just taking our time.
See, but you could have sex.
That's the difference.
You could have sex and don't.
I can't have sex and would.
I think Sean's cute.
Oh, but what do I know? After that whole thing with Greg I'm in the mood for anyone.
- Yeah.
So is Julie.
- What? If you like Noel, why are you going out with Sean? I like Sean, too.
He makes me laugh.
And I couldn't say no when he asked me out.
You can't do that to him.
Youre gonna break his heart! I don't want to break his heart.
Maybe it'll work out.
Maybe we'll just have a really good time.
Yeah.
I think Sean's cute.
Hey.
Hey, so, uh, what are you making there, anyway? Smart cookies.
Ohh.
Smart cookies.
Do you remember the smart powder from last year? - Meghan thinks it helps you study.
- It does help.
It just tasted so bad.
Nobody could swallow it so now it'll be in tasty cookie form.
Believe me.
You guys will be begging for these puppies when youre up late cramming for finals.
Damn, I forgot the eggs! Don't touch anything.
Let's have sex.
What? - I gotta take a test right now.
- Wait! You can't say something like that - and go off and take some test! - It's not just some test.
It's my North American Indians final.
But what what about waiting until you get married? I thought about that, how my parents raised me my morals and ethics and stuff, and then I look at that tube top you got on.
So it's working.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go take some tests, but I'll call you later.
- All right.
- Yeah.
Oh, my God.
We're kidding ourselves! Look at us! OK, you know what? Youre done with finals tomorrow, right? And I'm done two days after that.
So that's only three days we need to stay apart.
Yeah, what about work? What about here? I mean, youre staying here now.
When we're not at Dean & Deluca, we won't hang out.
And when we're here, uh you can stay in your room, and I can stay on the couch.
OK.
Going to the library.
Yep.
Yep.
OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Not only is it Manet's finest painting I think and a superb example of the impressionist rejection of romanticism but it is also likely to appear on your final exam.
So we had a plan three days apart until finals were over and then we'd have the whole summer together in Palo Alto.
OK, so guess that's it.
Good luck.
Everybody.
I'll see you all at the final Felicity! When you asked me at the beginning of the semester if I knew of any summer internships, I didn't.
Right.
But I've just been asked to assist at the Metropolitan Museum this summer for a French impressionism exhibit.
You still interested? Oh, my God! To assist you? Well, your work so far this semester has been exceptional.
If you do as well on the final as I expect you will yeah, I'd be happy to talk to you about it.
Oh, my God.
so, I'd I'd be in New York all summer.
Depending on your final grade and how interested you are yeah, we'd be in New York all summer.
Yeah, that's so cool she asked you to do that.
Well, she didn't ask me.
It all depends on how I do on the final.
But, yeah.
I mean, it'd be a pretty amazing job.
Yeah.
Except, uh youd be here all summer.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Is there any way you could get a job here? Not like the one I got lined up.
I'm gonna make enough money working on that house to pay for all next year, so I don't want to not see you for three months.
I know.
I know but this internship could be really good for you.
Just like, don't turn it down before you get it.
Do great on the final, get her to make the offer official and we'll deal with it then.
Thanks.
I'm l'm not doing anything.
Yeah, you are.
Thank you.
Oh, my God, youre kissing! It really worked! I'm like your cupid.
Javier, it's not that big a deal.
OK, whatever, tough guy.
Now, I have something very important and very personable to talk to you and ask you.
Um as you may know I am getting married next week.
Samuel and I got a little gift for you.
You got a a gift for me? Yes.
We're giving it to all our ushers.
- Your ushers? - Yes.
We would like - you to ush for us.
- Yeah! Yeah.
OK, youre too slow.
It's a watch! Just like this one.
It's motion sensing thing.
You have to wind it like this.
OK, I got it.
And Felicity, um I would like you to be my best man.
Are you serious? I'm That's I'm so flatt Thank Yeah, of course! Oh, good! Oh, I didn't know what you were gonna say! Oh! Now I have the best-looking best man in the history of the world.
Javier.
OK, now go back to work, OK? And please, no more kissing 'cause they can see you from outside.
OK? I don't mind sitting here quietly with you.
I mean, I love it.
But if you wanna talk I was, uh I was thinking about Ruby.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah, Wade asked her to marry him.
Wow! Ha.
I know.
That was my reaction, too.
And she's actually considering it.
You know what I mean? Who is this guy? Some lame producer that she met on a movie.
They don't even know each other.
And yes, she's pregnant but that doesn't mean that they're supposed to spend the rest of their lives together.
Would you wanna do that? I mean, would you think about What, marrying her? If the baby was mine, definitely.
Yeah.
Uh, but now I don't know.
Maybe someday.
Well if you think that you could be there for her like that, then you should tell her that.
Here you go.
Julie would love this.
A helicopter tour? That's ridiculous.
How is that any more ridiculous than a hot-air balloon ride? I didn't suggest a hot-air balloon ride.
You did.
- Mmm.
Those cookies smell unbelievable.
- Yeah, I know.
What about a boat ride? What's with you and vomit-inducing transportation? It's supposed to be romantic.
Come on.
I need your help.
Fine.
Blow it.
See if I give a rat's ass.
Hey.
Ben this might sound like an incestuous question but you went out with Julie.
Where should I take her? What's that? Julie.
Where should I take her on our date? Oh, on your date.
Um, I don't know.
I mean, it's not where you go.
It's who youre with.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's right.
Right.
OK.
So, Felicity uh, she might get this internship job in New York over the summer, and I gotta be in California so I might not get to see her for, like, three months.
What? - You gotta do something.
- Yeah, you gotta do something really romantic.
Have you thought about a helicopter ride? Hey, you know what? Go nuts.
Get a hotel room.
Seriously.
Have the most romantic time you can possibly afford.
Yeah.
On a chopper.
Wow, these are the best cookies I've ever had.
You know, a hotel I think I'm gonna do that.
Ben and I were both being really responsible.
We kept our distance and everything until Thursday when all his finals were over.
Hey.
How's it going? Hey.
I don't know.
There are too many dates and titles to remember and they're all in French.
Well, I don't wanna interrupt, but the Sweetzer Plaza Sean has a friend that works there and got me a great discount on a room.
- A room? - Yeah! - What? - I can't go with you.
Yes, you can.
After you finish your exam tonight we'll go over, you know, we'll celebrate we'll have some time alone.
It's good.
OK.
Let's go.
- What, you wanna go now? - Yeah, come on.
I'm not gonna learn anything new in the next four hours.
This'll give me a break, let things kinda sink in.
All right, that's great.
Let's go hang until, like, 5:00.
come hang out afterwards, right? Yeah.
We'll get room service.
- Room service.
Oh, my gosh.
Let's go.
- OK.
I've been thinking about, uh, Wade's proposal and it makes sense, you know? It's actually kind of heroic you know, him trying to make this work despite everything.
But the real question is if you guys really care about each other.
We barely even know each other.
I I give him credit for for wanting to be involved.
I do.
But to just to see you with some guy who youre tied to because of circumstance, it kills me.
I don't think that you should go with him.
I think you should stay here with me.
And if if having a father I mean I mean, a husband is so important to you then we can talk about that.
Everything that you just said I've been wanting to hear for so long.
But I have been talking with my parents and they think I should come home.
They want to help take care of me and the baby.
So youd leave for good? After what you just said I'm not sure.
Seriously, this is the most comfortable bed of all time.
You like it better than those air mattresses at the loft? Oh, God, no.
Those are those are great! They're the best.
- Wait a sec.
- What? OK.
According to your fancy new usher watch, it is 3:30.
That means I have exactly an hour and a half until my final.
- An hour and a half.
- Hour and a half.
Trust me.
Dont do it.
Why not? Because you don't know what youre getting into here.
Tracy wants to sleep with me.
I know what I'm dealing with.
Look, guys have enough problems with sex as it is.
You throw God into the picture, they get mental.
Come on.
Let me explain something to you.
You sleep with a religious virgin it's like he's breaking up with God to date you.
And let me tell you from personal experience you do not wanna be the Yoko in a man's relationship with the Lord.
He asked me.
It's not like I'm forcing him to do anything.
Yep.
That's what I said when I slept with Chad Savage.
You slept with a guy named Chad Savage? Chad suffered a major crisis of faith which led to a nervous breakdown and an obsession which only now, after two years, is finally coming to an end.
Tracy is not gonna be locked up in a mental ward because he loses his virginity! Hey, don't go to bed with Tracy.
Go to church with Tracy.
At least until he gets busy with another girl and then bone all you want.
What? Do you wanna stop? No, I just I don't wanna feel rushed.
There's no rush.
You go take your test and come back.
We got the room all night, so there's no rush.
OK.
What time is it? it's 10 after 4:00 you got plenty of time.
OK.
That guy was really mad.
I can't believe no one's ever hit the exit sign with a dart before.
The exit sign was nowhere near the dartboard.
OK, this is it.
This is my last one of these cookies.
They're starting to make me feel a little weird.
I haven't tried those yet.
Are they good? Here.
Going out with Julie is a big deal man.
So whatever you decide to wear on the date just don't go with horizontal stripes.
- Why? - They make your ass look huge.
- OK, my ass or anyone's ass? - Yours in particular.
You know, I knew it was stupid to ask your advice on fashion.
So have you decided where youre gonna take her? Look, man, like Ben said it's not where you go.
It's who youre with.
I got news for ya, pal.
Youre no Ben, all right? You have to take her somewhere special.
It's tomorrow night.
I made a reservation at Cafe des Artiste, OK? Wow, check out Mr.
Fancy Pants! Thank you.
Before we go back to the loft will you stop by my storage unit with me? I got some old suits I wanna pull out.
I should get paid for being your friend.
Am I wrong, or did Professor Reeves specifically say there wouldn't be a question on Grignard reagents? Baby, I don't even wanna think about the exam.
Finals are over, and we are officially juniors.
I know.
I feel more mature already.
So, uh Noel's not here, huh? Maybe we should finish this in your room with the door closed and locked.
I mean youre so mature and all.
I'm glad we're hanging out.
Yeah.
This is cheering me up.
Being with you always puts me in a good mood.
Yeah.
I know what you mean.
What time is it? It's 10 after 4:00.
OK.
Wasn't it just 10 after 4:00? Um I don't know.
I don't know.
Is something wrong? Do you have anyone else on your mind? Any all-powerful entities or anything? What? Nothing.
No.
I like the gray suit.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Brings out your bone structure.
All right, youre freaking me out.
- What? - Coming up? I feel weird.
Me, too.
Are you OK? I can feel your heart beating.
What was in those cookies? I really think there was something in those cookies.
- Chocolate chips? - Yeah.
- I mean, if I can.
- Youll look great.
You sluts! I can't do it.
I can't compete.
Compete with who? The Lord.
I should probably get going now.
What time is it? It's 10 after 4:00.
It's what? - Oh, my God! It's after 6:00! - What? How could you make a move on Julie? I didn't make a move.
No.
She made a move on me.
- She made a move on me.
- Is that true? - Sean, listen to me for a sec.
- We had a date.
Oh, crap.
Did you eat the smart cookies? - Uh smart cookies? - Yeah.
There's beet powder in those things.
But I'm allergic.
It makes me it makes me hyper.
- It makes me really hyper! - Yeah, hypersexual! - You should be ashamed of yourself! - Oh, no, no.
It's not his fault.
It's the beet powder.
Does anybody else feel the spinning? Someone, God, please make it go away.
- You wanna sit down? - No! Have have another one.
My thing with God? What does God have to do with this, baby? This is about you and me! I don't want you to end up in a mental institution! Thanks! What? You have spring fever.
That's no reason to sacrifice your belief in God! - What if I want to? - Don't sacrifice it with me.
Would you rather I sleep with someone else first? No! Will you stop it? I can't handle this kinda pressure! - Did you do this on purpose? - Do what? - You wanted me to fail this final! - Are you nuts? Youre the one that wanted to come here before the test! You purposely didn't wind the watch! - You don't wind the watch! You do this! - Well, you purposely didn't do this! - We had a date! - We did not! No, I know who I have dates with and when I have them! Not you! Julie! God, I wish I had a video camera! Sean, we didn't have a date until tomorrow.
Because you had to study, right? Not kiss Noel! You should take her to Cafe de Sluts.
Hey.
Who kissed Noel - Julie.
- No! - Noel! - This just keeps getting better.
Where are you going? This is your place! That's how strongly I feel about this! - Where you going? - Away.
Wait Where are you going? To try and save my Art History grade.
You know I didn't do this on purpose.
I cant believe this.
It's a nightmare.
She thinks I did it on purpose like I knew what time it was like I was sabotaging her final.
But I didn't.
It was that stupid watch Javier gave me.
It broke.
Then I realized, you know what? Maybe I did see the clock but I didn't even think about it you know, like it didn't register so maybe it was kinda my fault.
I'm gonna eat all this candy, all right? Well, it's kind of expensive.
Well, I'm in an expensive mood.
Oh, man.
Don't be depressed about Julie.
Oh, OK.
Don't breathe air.
Hey.
- What what happened? - Oh, I got there too late.
The final was already over, and Professor Morton was gone.
Hi.
- Julie kissed Noel.
- What? Um, so what, did you go to her office? Yeah.
Uh, no one was there.
Hey, I'm sorry that I freaked out on you before.
- That's all right.
- It wasn't your fault.
That's all right.
It's all right.
Um, what are you gonna do about the final? Oh, well, I'll still pass the class.
I mean, actually, in a way, this is kind of better.
That way I know I didn't get the internship.
Yeah, well, um, I'm really sorry.
No, no, no, no.
Don't be.
It was worth it.
It was worth it.
You guys want me to wrap all this stuff up? If you want me to leave, - I can take it with me.
- No.
Stay.
We've got the room for the whole night, right? I'm gonna I'm gonna go take a shower.
OK.
Lucky bastard.
Dating a girl who's not gonna turn around and kiss Noel I guess she used to, so - What are you doing? - I'm calling Al that old security guard l used to work with.
- That guy's still alive? - Will you quit saying that? Hey, Al, it's Ben Covington.
Yeah, yeah, the kid with the goofy smile, yeah.
Listen, you told me that you had numbers for all the professors on campus.
I was wondering if I could get a number.
Look, no, I won't tell em where I got it from.
OK, thank you.
Thank you.
It's Professor Morton.
Professor Mary Morton.
Yeah.
Hey, what are you doing? I can't believe I did that to Sean.
I feel so guilty.
Me, too.
I feel like I was taking advantage of Tracy.
I just had to get out of there.
I should have just said no from the start.
- I'm such an idiot.
- I told you.
You were right.
What was I thinking? Same thing with me and Tracy.
I mean, I feel like this evil person or something.
You just want to have sex with your boyfriend.
That is not a crime.
I say go for it.
- Really? - Definitely.
Youre right.
I don't have to protect him.
If he wants to do it, I'm ready.
That table over there? OK, thank you very much.
- Professor Morton? - Yes? Excuse me.
I'm real sorry to bother you.
My name's Ben Covington.
I'm a student over at the college.
I tried calling a bunch of people to find your number and finally got a hold of your daughter.
- She told me you were here.
- What's the problem? It's Felicity Porter.
She's in one of your classes.
- I know Felicity.
- Yeah, listen it's totally my fault she missed her final today.
You see, we just started dating.
Um do you have a second? You have one second? Sure.
OK, thanks.
You see we were well, we were fooling around and we totally lost track of time.
See, I was wearing this watch that I got for being an usher.
My gay boss is getting married.
It's actually Felicity's gay boss, too.
But you know what? It doesn't matter that he's gay.
It doesn't matter at all.
He's getting married.
So this watch if you want to wind it up you gotta go like this, which I didn't do.
I got so caught up in the moment, and so did Felicity that time just kind of shot by, you know? I mean, you know what that's like, right? When you first start dating somebody and everything tastes better, and everything looks better and time just kinda flies by? Maybe that's what it was like when you two first met.
James is my brother.
Oh hey, James.
Look, she's real interested in this internship you told her about.
And I just had to come by here and make sure that I did whatever I could to make sure she still had a shot at it.
So this is my shot.
I see.
- Ben? - Yeah.
Ben well, I'll tell you what.
Here.
You give this to Felicity, OK? - OK.
- OK.
Thank you very much.
Um, I'm sorry to bother you.
You throwing all that away? Uh, well, Richard says I need a whole new wardrobe.
And I haven't been shopping in about four years.
Hey, is argyle is that still in? - Listen - Wait.
You don't have to explain anything to me.
OK? About Noel, about me.
I mean we weren't even going out.
We had a date.
We didn't even have a date.
We were about to have a date.
But I don't think we should I don't even think we should have a date.
Sean No, think about it.
If it was meant to be it probably would have happened already.
You know, we both live in the same apartment.
You know I love you, right? Yeah, I know.
- What are you still doing here? - Waiting for you.
You knew I'd finally come around? well, actually, um, I think I came around.
- What? - Yeah, um I wanted to thank you for stopping things before they went too far.
- Oh.
Really? - Yeah.
l I can't do it.
Um I don't know maybe it's, like, the stress of finals or something.
Maybe it's because I don't want to lose you.
Youre this amazingly smart, beautiful, sexy dynamic, incredible woman and you could have practically any guy you want.
I know other guys check you out.
I don't care about that.
No.
When you walked out like you did you made me remember why I'm not doing this yet.
You showed me you cared.
I showed you that? Get over here.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I wanted to say good-bye.
Look, Ruby, that kiss with Julie the other night No, no, it's not about the kiss with Julie.
Yeah, actually, in a way, it is.
Because that's what you should be doing.
You should be kissing girls and dating and having fun.
That's what college is.
I just don't fit into that world anymore as much as I wish I did.
Look, the truth is if I wasn't pregnant we'd have a stupid fight about Julie, and I'd forgive you, and And we'd hang out and grab a bite and study and kiss and I can't do that anymore.
I have to go home.
I told Wade the same thing.
When? When are you leaving? Tomorrow morning.
I didn't want to lose you.
I didn't want to lose you, either.
Maybe I'll send you a care package every now and then, huh? Yeah, I love those.
Good-bye.
Yeah, don't worry.
I'm done.
By the way, those cookies you made were spectacular.
You mentioned that.
I had no idea you were so talented.
A lot of things about me you don't know.
Oh, is that so? - Is that a new shirt? - Why, you like it? Oh, this is so wrong.
Hey, youre back.
Hey, yeah.
Youre still in your tub.
Well, I figured we shouldn't let this great bathtub go to waste.
Yeah.
So, the good news is, you can take your final.
What? Yeah, I didn't go home to get any clothes.
I got Morton's phone number, and I got a hold of her daughter.
And she told me where she was having dinner.
- And I went to see her.
- Are you kidding? Just now, you went to see her? Yeah, I didn't want to wait till tomorrow.
I didn't know if it'd be too late.
W- what did you say to her? What did she say? Well, that's kind of the bad news.
Um you can take your final, but it's not exactly a final.
It's a you have to write an essay.
An essay on Daubigny due tomorrow? I don't know anything about Daubigny.
It wasnt the most romantic night but it showed me we can work together so maybe we can work.
As much as I hoped my teacher would love what I wrote part of me wanted her to hate it.
I cant believe we stayed up all night working as hard as we could for the chance to spend the whole summer apart.
- Thank you.
- OK.
- She loved it.
- She did? That's our paper! I know.
And, uh, she offered me the museum job.
Oh, that's great.
What are you gonna do?
