Felicity s04e17 Episode Script

Previously on Felicity I know you feel guilty about ripping off some guy's thesis.
How will you feel when you confess and you're without a college diploma? Excuse me? I'm looking for my boyfriend.
He was in a car accident.
Says here he's in surgery.
Dear Felicity.
Seeing you face your problems made me think I could face my problems, too.
Just tell Ben I'll call as soon as I'm settled.
Lauren.
* Just when you thought you'd found a reason * * Everything changes and you know * - You okay? - Yeah.
I am.
* It's gonna be a long, hard season * * And there's things you can't control * This wasn't the way it was supposed to end.
But you know that.
At least I know you used to.
Stop.
You're not telling me anything.
What happened? It was just God, it was just surreal.
Professor Carnes just called me into her office and I thought she was gonna give me a whole talk.
- And she just said, "Happy graduation.
" - So you passed? She failed me on the paper.
But I passed the class.
- Can you believe that? - No, I can't.
I'm so excited.
Oh, God.
- So, we're graduating.
- Yeah.
- Both of us.
- Yeah.
- How did that happen so fast? - I don't know.
It's weird.
And amazing.
It's like, all of a sudden the net's gone.
The safety net.
You know, like this place.
College.
It sort of kept us together.
And we're not gonna have that anymore.
Yeah, I've been thinking about something.
What? I dunno.
- What? - I dunno.
It's graduation, I guess.
Stop it.
What were you gonna say? Have you ever thought about marrying me? I can't stop thinking about it.
I've been thinking about it ever since the hospital.
- Are you are you serious? - Yeah, I'm serious.
- Married? - Yeah.
Married.
Like husband and wife.
Yeah.
I didn't really ask, I guess.
I should ask you.
Felicity - will you marry me? - Oh, my God.
I don't I don't know what to say.
I'm Okay.
But that's more of a yes than a no, isn't it? It's more of a yes.
It's more of a yes.
* Can you become * Can you become * A new version of you? * New wallpaper * New shoe leather * A new way home * I don't remember * A new version of you * I need a new version of me * A new version of you * I need a new version of me * Hello? Yeah, hi, this is him.
What time is it? She is? She is right now? Okay, gimme me a number where I can reach you.
Hang on a second, okay? What's going on? Okay.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Okay, I will be there as fast as I can.
All right, bye.
- Who was that? - Lauren's sister.
Lauren's in Philadelphia.
I guess she just went into labor.
Are you gonna go? I probably should, right? - You kind of have to, don't you think? - Yeah, yeah.
- Do you want me to go? - I want you to go to everything, but I think I can do this on my own.
You know, I probably should.
Just take the train.
Okay? - Are you gonna be back for graduation? - Of course, yeah.
Hey, what, uh, what happened before? I mean, are we - We're engaged.
- We're engaged.
Bye.
It's not even a kitchen.
Forget the kitchen.
- Maybe it takes place somewhere weird.
- Like a weird kitchen.
Like maybe Hey, guys.
- We got a great pitch for you.
- That'll have to wait.
Okay.
Wow, that's sort of a weird shift of energy in the room there.
- We lost CGG Corp.
- What? I got the call yesterday.
They're cutting back.
Oh, my God.
It's the economy.
It's killing everybody.
Well, okay, maybe there's a way we can put a positive spin on it.
- We got great ideas.
- Absolutely.
CGG aren't the only ones that are cutting back.
Guys, your work here, after a few bumps in the road, has been consistent and outstanding.
Oh, no.
Without CGG, I can't afford you guys.
No.
Put us on another account.
We can do anything.
This guy I'm really sorry, guys.
Thanks.
We're gonna be fine.
We've got contacts, experience.
- Right, right.
- I mean, people love us.
Yeah, the team's staying together, right? So The team brought us this far.
We don't abandon the team.
- Right.
- Yeah.
You know what we need? Put your box down.
Put it down.
- Okay.
- All right.
Give me one of these.
- Sean - Come on, it's a team thing.
- Do this for the team.
Come on.
- Put that guy away.
No, this guy is not going anywhere until you give me a knock of defiance.
That's it.
Right, stay positive? So, where's Ben? Um, he had He, um He's just busy.
Now might be a good time to tell us what your plans are.
- Edward, this isn't the best time.
- It's fine.
Let's talk about my plan.
I actually have a plan.
So, well, um I was thinking I would come home for the summer.
- Uh-huh.
- And, um prepare - For what? - For moving back to New York with Ben.
Isn't four years of following Ben Covington around enough? - That isn't fair.
I have a job.
- You're doing the architecture job? - Maybe, yeah.
- Maybe? You know when might be a good time to figure out what you're gonna do? - Today.
- This will all work itself out.
Barbara, don't be so quick to put a Band-Aid on this.
We're not here to attack our daughter.
- There's no other way to do this.
- Dad.
God.
That was just mean.
I know this is not what you want for me.
You think I'm throwing my life away to be with Ben.
- Not throwing it away.
- Throwing it away, yeah.
We're engaged.
So Ben is going to be in my life.
And he's going to be in my life for ever.
So, you should get used to that.
Are you okay? I mean, I know Ben went to Philadelphia.
Oh, yeah, that's Ben and I we're engaged.
Yeah.
That's great.
Thanks.
My parents, however, do not share that point of view.
Well, you know, historically, your parents have been, um, overbearing, controlling, crazy people.
True.
And you're in love with Ben.
I mean, it would make it easier, you know, if they were more supportive, but, this is what you wanna do.
In my eyes, it all makes sense.
You're the greatest.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
- How did it go? - Uh It was good.
It's hard to explain.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
No, I mean on the engagement.
Oh, right, uh, yeah.
Thanks.
- Does the baby have a name? - Yes, it's, um, it's Andrew.
- Your dad's name.
- Yeah.
You wanna talk about it? I don't I don't know.
You just seem a little I mean, it must've been overwhelming.
It was.
I mean, this baby Andrew He's such a little guy.
I mean, you should see his hands.
His hands are, like, this big.
Tiny.
But they look like my hands.
When are you gonna see him again? Lauren's gonna call me when she gets to Arizona.
- So, she's still going? - Yeah.
It was hard to leave.
Philadelphia.
It was really hard to leave.
I didn't think it would be.
You want to move to Arizona.
I was on the train and I was thinking You could do anything there.
I don't know.
It's just seeing that baby, and knowing that he's gonna be 3,000 miles away I understand.
It would still be you and me, starting out.
In Arizona.
- Oh, you figured out how to open up those boxes.
- I did.
Uh, happy graduation.
- Noel - I know.
Just open it.
Okay? Okay, since you're gonna return it No, no, no, no.
I love this.
- Yeah? - Thank you so much.
Of course.
No, no, no, that reaction had nothing to do with this book.
Uh Ben, um, asked me to move to Arizona with him.
Yeah.
That's where Andrew is going to be and he wants to be near him.
But, I mean, of course he does, he should.
You don't want to go? You know when your parents say something, they give you their opinion.
Somehow it just resonates longer and louder than anything else? Don't do this to yourself.
My dad said, "Isn't four years of following Ben Covington around enough?" - When you said you were getting married? - No.
That's what he said that made me tell him we were getting married.
Okay, this is gonna sound corny.
If it's meant to be, it'll be.
God, don't say that.
That means it'll never be.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't.
Okay? And now that I've said that, let me just be purely selfish for a second.
And state, as your friend, because we have something of a history together - Don't move to Arizona.
- Noel.
I'm not being 100% serious, but all your friends are here.
You know, how can you not be in New York next year? Yeah.
I don't know.
Right, when you say downsizing, just how far down are you sizing? No, no, no, I understand.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Mm-hm.
Bye-bye.
Well, Riley's not hiring.
You know what we should do? - We should call - I got a job.
You did? Where? Uh, no, not for us.
Just for me.
With Mr Rotundi.
Meghan's dad? Yeah, um You said you'd kill yourself if you worked for him.
Who over-exaggerates more than me, huh? It's a great job.
I'm gonna be accompanying this elevator inspector.
He's the man.
I'll be his second in command.
And he gets around.
And there's some great - Sean - You know what? This is a great opportunity for you.
What about that job you heard about? - Wait a minute.
- You'd be stupid not to take it.
Think about the cash flow.
That's what this is about.
Yeah, I mean, I guess I guess you're right.
It's just sad.
We, uh, we were a team.
We banged fists.
We're still a team.
We are.
We're still a team.
We're just doing whatever it takes to stay alive right now.
That's what it is.
And when things get better we'll be back together.
- A comeback.
- As long as it's just temporary.
Yeah, yeah.
Think positive.
Stay positive, yeah.
All right.
- Good.
- Good.
Yeah.
Hold the door.
Thanks.
Sorry about that.
Felicity's padre, right? - Yes.
- Yeah.
Congrats.
You must be psyched about Ben's new kid.
I should be giving you these flowers, huh? I mean, you're the granddad, right? Well, the half-granddad? No, you'd be the whole one.
Yeah, good, good stuff.
Well, congrats.
Or what would that be? Is that like your maybe it would be like your bastard grandchild? Or, no, that Whatever.
Maybe you're just glad the thing's gonna be taking place in Arizona.
The baby'll be with its mom and far away from Felicity.
So, that's probably best for everyone.
Probably.
Yeah.
Uh, I forgot something downstairs.
You go on in without me.
And, uh, this conversation never happened.
- Who are you? - Exactly.
Hey, Dr Porter.
How you doin'? These are for you.
You want to tell me what's going on? Uh, no, not really, sir.
Felicity says you're engaged and I hear from a stranger in the elevator you just had a child with another woman.
Is that true? Yeah, it is.
I'm sure you have an explanation for everything.
But I only care about Felicity.
Does she know? - Yeah, she's been very understanding.
- Of course.
- She doesn't know what she's doing.
- You might be underestimating your daughter a little bit.
Don't try and make this a "parents don't understand" kind of thing.
This is the fact: Marriage at your age is ridiculous.
- Mrs.
Porter was our age.
- And we're divorced now.
And you have a child.
In Arizona.
- And you live in New York? - Yes.
- That won't work.
- It might.
- Tell me how it'll work.
- We're thinking about moving there.
- To Arizona? - Yeah.
Let me explain something to you, Ben.
You're a father now.
So we have something in common.
As a father, you become very protective of your child.
So much so, that if someone tries anything to hurt them, anything, you want to hurt them back.
I understand.
I hope so.
What's wrong? Arizona? What? It's clear you don't care what I think.
But this latest choice, this move, is a colossal mistake.
What did you say? Did you tell him about Arizona? I just kept talking.
I didn't know what else to say.
I'm really sorry.
Okay, Ben, listen.
I can't just move.
I mean, I have a life here.
I have friends.
I have a job.
What are you talking about? You've decided? I have been following you for four years.
It's your turn now.
You're gonna stay in New York.
- Do you not think that's fair? - No.
What I'm dealing with is more important.
Well, I don't think I can go to Arizona.
I think I have to.
- Can I come in? - Sure.
I thought Mom said we were gonna meet at the ceremony.
I know.
Sorry about yesterday.
Thank you.
I thought it was gonna be black.
It seems like you just graduated high school.
Really? God, that seems like so long ago to me.
You remember when I used to bring you to my office when you were a kid? Yeah, of course I do.
Angelika would let me wear her white coat.
You'd follow me into every patient's room.
And you'd show me how to listen to people's hearts.
I keep doing this, don't I? Trying to protect you.
And you don't have to anymore.
I'm gonna be okay.
I know.
I'm not so good at letting go, am I? No.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too.

- You, too.
- Can I talk to you for a second? - Yeah.
- Could you give us a minute? - Yeah, sorry.
Thanks.
No, that's all right.
Do you wanna sit? God, this is really hard.
All day, all I've been thinking is "Go with Ben, follow Ben.
" That's all I want to do, is follow you.
Sometimes I think I'd follow you anywhere.
But I can't.
Yeah, I know.
I know that.
I'm sorry for asking.
You should go to Arizona.
That's what you should do.
Yeah, I think it is.
This is so sad.
I guess my dad was right.
Maybe this is a college thing.
We don't know that.
If it's meant to be, it'll be.
- You know? - Yeah.
There you are.
I got great news.
- What is it? - I got a job.
For both of us.
You're kidding.
Where? - It's a totally new firm.
- Okay.
- Who are the clients? - They don't have any.
- And they're hiring? - Yeah.
- What about the climate? - They're gonna try and weather it.
- Who are these guys? - Blumberg-Crane and Associates.
- What? - I rented us an office.
It's overpriced and we can't afford it.
- Are you saying we're back? - Now is the time.
- Stay positive.
- Yeah, man.
Stay positive.
Can I get another one of these? Another, um So how does it feel to be a college graduate? Great.
I can't even get a drink, but - It's totally anti-climactic, isn't it? - A little.
So, have you decided about Arizona? Um, yeah, well, I'm not gonna go.
Ben okay with that? Uh, well, Ben and I we're not gonna be together.
So I decided something else.
I'm not gonna come back here next year.
What? No, no, you have to.
I don't know where I'm gonna go instead but I just can't be here.
- Hey.
- Hey, congratulations.
Thanks.
I'm gonna take off.
- I will see you before I go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Take it easy.
- Yeah, you, too.
- This is your stuff.
- Thanks.
That's it.
Faster than I thought.
You live in a place so long you'd think it'd take longer to pack it up.
Yeah.
* We get so close it's almost like touching the sun * * Girl, we got the jump on everyone * * When I think I got you covered * * And the world is on my side * * That's when you begin to slide * * And I'd love to know just where you hide * * Holding hands, skipping stones Don't throw your flowers in the dirt * * It's always the best of friends * * That get the biggest hurt * I gotta go.

- Do you want me to help with your bags? - No.
No, stay in bed.
Just I know.
I love you.
I love you, too.
- You guys, I haven't even packed yet, so I should - I got it.
I'm not gonna miss you at all.
- So.
- So.
I don't want you to go.
- At least say goodbye to me.
- No.
I will call you the minute I land.
This sucks.
Oh, no.
We're finished.
This is for you.
"Employee of the Month.
" Every month.
I'm never taking it down.
Never.
So you better visit it all the time.
Um, do you need any help with your stuff? I'm basically done.
- I can't believe this is it.
- I know.
This is like a torture machine through the heart.
- How about a group hug? - Yes, please.
- We're gonna miss you so much.
- Me, too.
If you don't come visit this plaque I'm taking it down.
Well, not really, but you know - Goodbye.
- Bye.
Goodbye.
- Hello? - Noel? - I thought I'd missed you.
- I wouldn't have left without saying goodbye.
God, I'm not ready to do this yet.
Don't.
Let me take you to the airport.
You okay? Yeah.
I am.
- Candy? - No, thanks.
Do you ever wonder what would've happened if you and I Never.
Now boarding Flight 1242 for San Francisco at Gate 10.
- That's that's me.
- Yeah.
All right.
You okay? - You have my numbers? - Your cell phone, your e-mail.
I got everything.
We're gonna talk all the time.
- I don't know if I can do this.
- Yeah, you can.
- Promise we'll talk? - Promise.
- Okay.
- Okay? Okay.
- Bye, Felicity.
- Bye, Noel.
- Miss, can I get you anything? - No.
No, thanks.
Dear Ben.
This wasn't the way it was supposed to end.
But you know that.
At least, I know you used to.
It doesn't seem that long ago I thought we'd be spending the rest of our lives together.
But now it's six months later and you're in Arizona.
And I'm here in Palo Alto.
And somehow it's okay.
I mean, it's actually good.
Just so you know, everyone's doing great.
Sean and Noel have, like, a real business.
They're happy.
And Meghan, despite her issues, still wants to be a psychiatrist.
She'll probably be amazing at it.
I'll probably become her first client.
It's ironic how sometimes the thing you're fighting is actually yourself.
After everything, despite everything, I realized I wanted to become a doctor.
Of course, my parents couldn't be happier.
But now I know, I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for me.
Because maybe I can make a difference.
So, who knows, Ben, maybe we'll both be doctors.
Anyway, I know you're busy, but, um, gimme a call or write me a letter, or send me a tape.
I'd love to hear your voice.
Love, always, Felicity.
Hey.
What are you What are you doing here? I was just at the registrar's office.
I was signing up for classes.
I, uh I talked to Lauren.
She's gonna move back here.
You were right.
It was my turn.
* I'm waiting here on my own * * I'm wondering * * If you're waiting for me too * * All the time I seem to wonder * * How all this is gonna end * * Will you stay with me for ever * * And tell me that you'll never go away *
