His Answer (1)

Previously, and absolutely unbelievably, on Boy Meets World We're having a baby! You're having a baby? I'm retiring.
What do you mean by that? Mr.
Feeny said I should go to Yale unless I have a really good reason not to.
Well, there isn't any good reason.
Actually, there is.
Ladies and gentlemen, the John Adams High School class of 1998.
Will you marry me? Cory? Did I just ask you to marry me? I asked you.
But I always thought I'd be the one to propose.
Well, I beat you to it.
Look, Cory, if you want to be the one No, no, no, no.
This is the '90s.
What's done is done.
So, okay, you proposed.
Hey, we better get to that graduation party.
I'd like an answer, Cory.
And I'm going to give it to you.
But, you know, Topanga, it's not every day that a guy gets asked a question like that, and it's not every day I can give you an So you got a ring for me, or what? Topanga, listen.
I want to be with you more than anything in the world, okay? But I cannot let you give up Yale for me.
Do you honestly want me to go to Yale? No.
Then shut up about it.
Pennbrook is a great school.
I'm going to get a great education.
Besides, what good is college without this face? It's no good.
It's no good at all.
So when do you want to do it? Do what? Get married, Cory.
Topanga, I don't know.
I haven't even had time to think How about right away? Right away? Right away when? Cory, we've been dating each other since we were 2.
We've both had a chance to be with other people.
Yeah, I wonder what she's doing.
Do you think we'll be together for the rest of our lives? Yeah, I know we will.
So do I.
We're not like other people, Cory.
We're weird.
Let's just do it.
Plus, I want to have time for our honeymoon before college starts.
A honeymoon, huh? Mmm-hmm.
And on this honeymoon, you and I, we'd probably Oh, there's a good chance, yeah.
A good chance.
Keep talking.
Let's go tell your parents.
No! I mean, no, I don't think we should tell my parents.
They're going through a lot right now with the baby coming and everything, and I don't know if they'd understand.
In fact, they're incapable of understanding.
I don't think we should tell anyone.
You know, until we've figured out what we're going to do.
Cory, you do want to marry me, don't you? Yeah.
I just I don't want everyone sticking their noses in our business.
You know, I mean, this is our lives.
This is for us to decide.
Okay, promise you won't tell a soul.
Okay, I promise.
I kind of like it.
It's very Romeo and Juliet.
That's why we're not telling anyone.
Whatever you need.
So are we engaged, or what? Yeah, if you don't open up your big mouth.
You.
Congratulations, you two.
Oh, my God, he knows.
Cory, Mr.
Feeny is congratulating us on graduating, so, uh, why don't you thank him? Is there something else? Nothing.
Get off my back! Whatever you say.
You're a smug one, aren't you, George, huh? You know you know, I know you know.
I don't know how you know, but I know that you know.
All right, I know.
I know everything.
Now, what in the world are you talking about? Nothing.
This gets out, I'll hunt you down like a dog! How you doing? Topanga asked you to marry her.
I hate you.
You guys are so weird.
I know, but I love him, and I want to be with him till he dies.
But you can't tell anyone, not even Shawn.
Feeny told you, didn't he? I'm going to find him and rip him apart! I was sitting right next to you, you dope.
I heard everything.
That's why he looked so scared.
I don't think he was scared.
I just think he was a little flustered.
I was a little flustered, that's all.
You looked like somebody shot you in the head.
But, hey, I don't blame you.
You know, if Angela asked me that in the middle of my graduation, I'd wet my gown, too.
Girl, at our age, we are supposed to be having fun, not getting married.
What idiot doesn't know that? Marry her.
What? I think you should marry her.
Shawn, that's not what you're supposed to say.
You're supposed to say that you think we're crazy.
Well, you're crazy if you think you haven't been married to her your entire life.
You might as well get presents.
Well, I do need a new toaster, but no.
No.
Rushing into marriage right now is way too overwhelming, what with high school ending, college starting.
And you're scared to tell your parents.
Well, I see no reason why they ever have to know.
Well, if we're done talking about you, I've got some news.
Well, we're not done talking about me.
How selfish are you? Cor I think I'm going to take some courses at Pennbrook.
Good.
Have a nice day.
Which means that I'm going to be living in the dorms, so if you're not ready to have Topanga as a roommate Wait, you and me together? That's two proposals on the same day, Shawn.
I I must be the luckiest boy in the world.
Well, Shawnie Yeah.
I'm glad you decided to go to college, bud.
Thanks.
Wait a minute.
What's he talking about? Yeah, I'm going to take some college courses.
I love my job, but there's more to life than photographing naked ladies.
Oh, hey, that's great, buddy.
You're going to college.
All right.
There's no more to life than naked ladies.
Except maybe naked ladies that wear really tight shirts and really tight pants.
Look, I'm proud of you, okay? Problem with you is you don't know how to be supportive, okay? I want you to be supportive.
Sorry.
I'll try.
You know, this means Shawn and I are going to be roommates.
What? I support that.
Unbelievable.
I support that.
I don't believe you.
I'm so proud of you! Yeah, that's great.
All right.
Good job.
Please don't move out.
Hey, school doesn't start for two months.
You guys should have plenty of time to find a new roommate.
Cannot be done! We are very particular.
We got strict requirements.
I give up a scholarship to Yale to move to Philadelphia with you, and you tell me you're going to Corpus Christi to find yourself? You know what? Find this.
She pretty.
That a lot of woman.
"Find this.
" God, that doesn't even make any sense, does it? I think you did a wonderful job, and I support you.
You know, and I really thought that we loved each other.
And now I have no place to stay.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
Oh, man, I don't envy you.
What's all my stuff doing out in the hallway? Oh, yeah.
We found a new roommate.
Get out.
Here, I'll help.
School doesn't start for two months.
Well, the funny thing is we found someone who meets every one of our strict requirements.
I'm going to have to tell this guy that he can't move in here till I'm good and ready to move out.
Hey, do you guys have any toothpaste I could borrow? Hi.
Let me help you here.
Yeah, just grab something and chuck it right out the door there.
There you go.
Okay, good.
Well Hey, hey, come here.
You didn't tell Angela about us, did you? I would never.
Why? You know, she was shooting me nasty looks at dinner, and I almost didn't enjoy my pudding.
Did you say anything to Shawn about us, because I think he's been winking at me.
I would never.
Hey, I know how to keep a secret.
Now, remember, my parents are in there, so just act natural.
Okay.
Cory, Shawn just told us the big news.
Why didn't you say anything? You told them? You told Shawn? Oh, of course I told Shawn! Aren't you angry? Well, you guys have been together forever.
Why would I be angry? Talk about a load off my mind, huh? I think you and Shawn will be very happy together as roommates.
You and Shawn? What about us? Topanga, I don't think the school would allow you and Cory to be roommates unless you were married.
Here's where I'm dead.
I thought we were going to decide this together.
Well, I was going to discuss it.
Hey, you knew about it, too? You told Angela? You told Shawn.
Why didn't you tell me? You didn't tell me.
Hey, everybody.
Got this new roommate.
She is fine! All right, I'd kind of like to know what is going on now.
Okay, Dad, uh, see Topanga and I are, you know, uh It's really kind of amusing if you think about it.
Uh, see, what's going to happen is, um Cory and I are getting married.
Are you out of your minds? Why? 'Cause they love each other.
No, that's not a reason.
They are too young.
You can't even clean up your room.
I'm going to get to it.
You'll wait until you finish college.
Of course they'll wait.
They haven't decided anything yet.
Whose idiot idea was this? Mine.
It was my idiot idea.
It's my idiot life, and I have the right to decide if I want to be a married idiot.
I asked Cory to marry me.
Please don't yell at my fiancee.
Topanga, I thought you had more sense.
I asked Bobby Peplowski to marry me, then he kicked me.
Have you thought of the responsibilities you're gonna have? No, they haven't.
They haven't thought of anything.
Okay, Angela, let's just stay out of this.
No.
These are our friends.
How can you let them ruin their lives? They're not like us.
They're hopelessly in love.
And so are we.
So are we.
We have paid for your food, for your clothes, for your phone, for your car insurance You think you can handle all that? You know what? You two got married when you were my age, right? I was a dope.
I take that back.
What I mean, what I'm trying to say is think of all the things in life you'll be missing out on.
Dad, Topanga and I No, no, you think you know what you want from your life, huh? You think you've got it all figured out.
Well, things don't always turn out the way you plan.
So, if you're going to do this, you better prepare to make sacrifices.
What sacrifices did you make, Alan? What? What do you mean we're not hopelessly in love? What? I'm just trying to make a point to the kids.
No, listen.
You're not listening to me.
Well, they're taking it better than I thought.
Well, it isn't for them to decide.
Okay, this is our lives, Topanga.
Nobody is going to tell us what to do.
Come on.
We're getting married.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
If everybody'll just calm down, I think I can be the voice of reason here.
I think they should get married.
Amen.
Stop it, Shawn.
Eric, sit down! Thank you, Dad.
All right, listen.
The chances that Cory could find a woman like Topanga are, like, one in a million.
There's nobody better.
Well, it's true.
Oh, we all love Topanga.
That's not the issue.
Yes, but, see, in a few years, she's going to dry up.
She's going to get all wrinkly.
Might as well just grab her while she's still smooth.
Am I right there, Dad? You're an imbecile.
Have any of you guys noticed that Cory and Topanga aren't here? Cory, are you positive you want to do this? We're in the car, aren't we? Yeah, I know, but you're not just doing this because your parents are against it? Topanga, I told you, it's my life.
I decide what I want to do with it.
What happens when you get to college and you see everybody meeting each other and dating and having fun? Are you going to wish you could be doing the same thing? Well, it didn't faze me in high school, why should it faze me now? Cory, you had your heart set on this big, romantic wedding.
Listen, Topanga, I can't think of anything more romantic than sneaking off to a quiet little wedding chapel in the country.
I want to marry you.
That's what I have my heart set on.
I do.
Then why did you pass the exit? Stop hounding me.
Yeah, well, we said some pretty awful things.
No.
We just told them the truth.
They probably just went to think things over.
I bet they eloped.
Without our permission? Cory? I don't think so.
Hey, I know him.
If he's forced to choose between anything and Topanga, it's no contest.
Remember when we told your father we were going to get married? What did we do? Well, that was different.
I mean, he was stubborn, totally set against it, wouldn't listen to anything we had to Oh, boy! Oh, boy.
Don't worry about it.
Guys, can I be the voice of reason here again? That's great.
Um Maybe you are responsible.
In fact, I know you are, what with the bickering and the lecturing and the yelling.
Okay, Eric.
We have to support Cory and Topanga and accept this marriage.
We can't push them out of our lives like we pushed them to elope.
They love each other, and they belong together, just like me and Rachel.
Who's Rachel? She's my beautiful new roommate angel.
She's back at the apartment right now with Jack.
Oh, no.
Wait, what if they hit it off and she cheats on me? I'd trip, man.
Gonna get back and start slapping some people around.
It is our fault.
We drove them to it.
Judge Bemis? Yes.
Hi, I'm Cory Matthews.
We talked on the phone.
Oh, come on in, young man.
Come on in.
And, uh, this must be the bride with the nutty name.
Topanga.
Topanga.
That's silly.
Now, this is my wife P-foofta.
Our one friend calls me Foofie.
How do you do? How do you do? She'll be your witness.
Oh, they're so young, Henry.
Pay her no mind.
We've been marrying folks for 36 years, and she bawls like a baby every time.
Stop it! We appreciate you guys doing this for us at such a late hour.
Oh, nonsense.
This is what we do.
Besides, we can't be choosy.
Everybody wants a big wedding these days.
Nobody wants to elope no more.
Well, I do.
Right, Cory? Cory, say I do.
Already? Shawn and I are very different people, but we're brothers, and there's really nothing we wouldn't do for each other.
Then we beat each other up.
Yeah, me and my sister are the same way.
Oh, well, if you're ever homesick and you want to wrestle What, me wrestle with you? Oh, God, no.
I'm a girl.
Whoa! But I am one big old girl.
Yeah, that's right.
She's sitting on me, man.
We were just fooling around.
Oh, no.
Please don't go.
So, where were you, Eric? Oh, well, I While you guys were here having your little sumo fest, I was putting a crisis out on the home front.
Is everything okay? It is now.
Cory and Topanga, that's my little brother and Topanga, they ran off to elope.
My parents kind of went mental.
I calmed everything down.
How'd you do that? I said, "Calm down, you.
" Oh.
Yep.
Then I explained to them that we love both my brother and Topanga, and it would be It would just be better if we accepted the marriage rather than push them out of our lives and make them hate our guts, you know? That is so romantic of you.
She's not sitting on you, is she? Oh, in here she is, my friend.
In here she is.
Oh.
Yeah, that's right.
You know, I can hear everything you guys are saying.
Oh, you guys are terrific.
You know, being with you makes me realize what a creep my boyfriend really is.
You deserve better.
You deserve the best.
I'm saying.
You know what my problem is? My problem is that I always feel that I need a man in my life, and I always choose the wrong one.
This is why I'm so lucky to have found you two.
Oh.
God, it's such a relief knowing we can live together without all that, you know Yeah.
That is good.
That's a relief.
Ooh, would have been hard.
We're going to be just like girlfriends.
Girlfriends.
If I understand this correctly, girlfriends sleep together, bathe together, and even get to see each other naked.
We already do that.
Oh, it's all my fault.
I came down way too hard on them.
I I made them do it.
I'm the one that jumped all over them.
Cory stood up to me like a man, and I just shot him down.
No, no.
Cory came to me for advice.
He wanted me to tell him to wait.
I told him to go ahead and get married.
Well, hey, don't look at me.
I said all the right things.
But it didn't matter.
You can't tell Cory and Topanga what to do.
I've been trying to do that since the first grade.
I remember when I tried to separate their desks.
She kicked me, he bit me, and some little punk kept saying, "Leave them alone.
They should get married.
" I was cute then, huh? Precious.
But the point is, your advice came from a good place, but Cory and Topanga aren't in the first grade anymore.
They made their own decision, and I think they'll be fine because they've been well brought up.
And well taught.
Well, I've done the best I can.
Alan What's wrong? I wish we could be at the wedding.
We are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony Cory and Topanga.
But they're so young, Henry.
Why don't we just give them back their money? That would be a nice gesture.
still don't get it.
This is what we do for a living.
Where was I? Cut to the chase.
Do you, Cory, take Topanga to be your wife, to honor and cherish her, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part? Well, I always have.
I always will.
I do.
And do you, Topanga, take Cory to be your husband, to honor and cherish him, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
