Boy Meets World s07e19 Episode Script
Brotherly Shove
Man, how long's it been since anyone cleaned this garage? Ugh, years.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Where do you think you're going with that? I am taking this garbage bag full of garbage to the garbage.
You are so cute when you try and intimidate me.
Give me the bag.
It's coming home with us.
You are incapable of throwing out anything.
No, I am incapable of throwing out memories from my life.
I mean, look around you.
This is my childhood here.
Hey, Cory, you think Morgan still wants Strawberry Shortcake? Uh, yeah, she does.
She's cute.
She's my friend.
I can't believe that you would want to throw all this out.
I mean, look at this.
This is a gold mine in here.
This is my old retainer.
Remember this? Mmm.
Ugh, Cory, I hate that thing.
Ah, you didn't say that when we were 11.
Remember? Kiss me.
Come on, just kiss me once.
No.
Just, please, just give me one.
No! All I remember is trapped food particles.
Peanuts, popcorn, Cracker Jacks.
Your mouth was like a baseball game.
Mmm.
Nachos.
Mmm.
Hey, Cory, check these out.
Oh, my gosh.
Eric gave those to me.
Yeah, where is Eric? You know, half this stuff is his.
Why isn't he helping? Well, look, I promised my parents that I'd clean up this garage by the time they got home from vacation, okay? Besides, Eric would just go through all this old stuff, you know, get all mushy, and not let us throw out anything.
Mmm, can't have that.
That would be bad.
Besides, I'd rather do it with you guys anyway.
Discrimination! Not fair! Not fair.
Oh, Shawn, look.
Our old clubhouse sign.
Yeah, "No girls allowed.
" That lasted long.
Hey, I was in love.
And I threatened to sue.
Hey, Cor, how come we never use this? Oh, this? This belonged to me and Eric.
Boy, this thing's got some memories.
Your queen demands a duel.
Lord Hunter.
Sir Complainalot.
The winner shall get my hand.
En garde, doodiehead.
Prepare to die, scoundrel.
Oh, I'm a scoundrel? That's cool.
All right, your queen's getting bored.
Can we see some bloodshed? Oh, you want to hit my leg? Ha ha! Don't even try! Shawn, you're hurting me.
Ow! Oh.
Hey, you guys having a little party here? No, just hurting your brother.
What you up to? Well, apparently not having as much fun as you guys are.
Yeah, we're just cleaning out the garage.
You know, I've been meaning to go through this stuff for a while.
Oh, okay, so this was your idea? Yeah.
Shawn and I are just helping out.
You know, Cory, this would have been fun to do together.
Oh, Eric, come on.
It's not a big deal.
Besides, I didn't want you to waste a Saturday.
Oh, but you didn't mind asking Shawn to waste a Saturday? No, Shawn Shawn loves this stuff.
Remember where he's from.
I do love trash.
Okay, so, let me try to understand this.
You decided on your own to go through our stuff, involving your wife and your best friend, who, incidentally, has a brother of his own to do this kind of stuff with, but you didn't call me.
Eric, it's not a big deal.
Well, maybe we should go.
No, no, no, no.
You guys stay.
He probably doesn't get a chance to see you a whole lot anyway.
Eric, come on.
Don't be like this, okay? Stay and we'll all Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Dad called last night and he wanted me and you to look for grandpa's toolbox after calling you about you calling me about us cleaning out the garage together.
We were supposed to do this together.
You know, it must be fun to do a big clean-out like that and go through old stuff you haven't seen in years.
Well, it started out fun.
You know what, Angela? It wouldn't hurt us to do some spring cleaning.
Oh, great idea, Rachel.
Why don't you start and I'll catch up with you, like, in the fall? You know, Jack, Eric said something interesting before that got me thinking.
Wait a minute.
Eric got you thinking? He seemed well-rested.
Anyway, when Dad died, you and I agreed that Deal.
Deal? Yeah, no, I was thinking the same thing.
You and I should get closer, spend more time together, and Start acting like real brothers.
So you want to do something later? How about now? I'm up for anything.
Sounds like a blast.
I'm having fun already.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
So why exactly don't you want to clean with me? Oh, it's not that I don't want to.
It's just that I'm not going to.
I have theories, you know? About what? I don't know.
Shawn, I want to say, I'm sorry about before.
You know, I was just I was upset.
It's okay.
I understand.
It's coming in nice.
Hey, Eric, I've been looking for you.
Well, you found me.
Uh, listen, I just want to apologize about before.
You know, the reason I didn't call you was not because I didn't want you to be there.
I'm listening.
Because that's That's not what I was thinking about.
Okay, so what were you thinking? Well, I wasn't really thinking anything.
You know, it's not that big a deal.
I mean, maybe we'll do it again sometime.
Really looking forward to that.
Okay.
So then why are you apologizing? Uh, well, I'm apologizing because You seemed hurt.
That's very considerate.
No problem.
Are you really sorry or are you just sorry you got caught? You know, you're right.
He does seem well-rested.
Eric, come on.
This is stupid, all right? It's no big deal, you know? We'll go home, forget this ever happened, we'll clean out the garage, and be done with it.
Okay.
You know what? While we're at it, why don't we just move all that crap to the end of the driveway and sell it? Why do you want to have a garage sale? I mean, that's That's, like, our childhood.
Well, yeah, but I mean, like you said, it doesn't really matter.
Why don't we just sell it, split the money right down the center, and then, you know, we can be done with it, go back to the way it used to be, you know? "Hey, how you doing?" "Fine, how you doing?" No need to apologize for anything.
How about a movie? Perfect! This is gonna be great.
Yeah, you know, I'm so glad we are finally doing this.
So what do you want to see? Anything, man, as long as we're together, buddy.
You mean, like, a foreign movie? I know.
Bowling.
Bowling? Did you ever smell those rental shoes? Are you hungry? No, I just ate.
I could watch you eat.
Maybe we're trying too hard, you know? Why don't we just go work out? I don't do that.
You like poetry? I like riddles.
The mall.
The bank.
The bank? I wonder how the garage sale's going.
You want to check it out? Yes! Ho ho! Man, this is gonna be great.
I am loving it.
You're gonna sell that sled? Yeah, why not? Well, we had a lot of fun on that sled.
Yeah, we did.
You think two bucks? Yeah.
Two bucks.
Boy, you remember that time when we, uh When school was closed down for two days, and we took this up to Dead Man's Hill? Yeah, I remember.
Yeah.
And then we, uh, we were sliding down that hill so fast, we couldn't stop and we caused a four car pile-up.
Yeah, Dad was really mad.
Locked us in our room for two weeks.
Yeah, but it was a lot of fun, huh? Buck 50.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
Wow, this looks great.
Thanks.
What's all this stuff? Well, Angela and I decided it would be a lot of fun to clean out our room.
Yeah, and guess what.
It wasn't.
Well, anyway, we found a lot of great stuff.
Look.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, hey, look at all that stuff.
That's great.
Why don't you grab a table? There's plenty of space.
Okay.
Oh, wait a minute.
This is my purse.
Angela, it's been on the floor for three months.
$1.
72? Ooh, I'll take it.
Thanks.
Rachel Did you wear this? I used to.
I'll give you Sold.
Why do you want Rachel's old tank top? I'm a collector.
Hey, Eric.
You know, I don't want to sell my glove.
That's my glove.
You gave it to me.
Yeah, now I'm taking it back.
What is your problem? Look, I don't have a problem.
It's a garage sale, Cor.
You know, why don't we just sell it? You don't use it.
I don't use it.
Let's just be done with it.
Oh, this This guy.
He's funny.
What's so funny? Oh, I don't really know, you know? It's just we've been laughing for, like, the last three hours.
Eric and I have been doing the same thing.
What have you guys been up to? Oh, little of this, a little of that.
And time's just been flying.
Flying right by.
Up high.
Up high.
Oh! Yeah! Yeah! All right, man.
Oh, man, help me out here.
I am dying.
He is so freaking boring.
Take me out of this misery, man.
You got any guns for sale? Excuse me, how much are these? I didn't know those were for sale.
I'll give you five bucks for 'em.
I'll give you 20.
Okay.
Okay! Eric, come on.
Why are you being such a jerk? Excuse me, honey.
How much is this frame? Just one second.
Look, Eric, I've apologized What do you want me to do? Nothing.
It couldn't be very much, 'cause there's a scratch on it.
Lady, just one second, okay? I can't wait here forever.
Lady, please.
Eric, I'm not a mind reader, okay? What do you want me to do? You're not gonna sell anything if you ignore the customers.
Could you be any more annoying? Hey, buddy, watch your mouth.
That's my wife.
Could she be any more annoying? That's my brother! Nobody hits my brother! So this guy walks into a bar Hey! That's my brother! Get off him! That's Ah! You know what? I'm going to, uh I'm gonna hang out here just to make sure everything works out okay.
I think you should.
I'm gonna go get coffee from the cafeteria.
How's the arm? Well, I won't be using that catcher's mitt anytime soon.
Well, that's good, 'cause I sold it for a dime.
Eric, uh I really appreciate the way you had my back today.
You know, and thanks for waiting with me here, too.
It's okay.
No, it's not okay, you know? I mean, because You're my brother, and today you reminded me how important it is to have a big brother to look out for you and I'd like to think that I'd be there for you, too.
I'm sure you would.
Because that's what being brothers is all about, right? Being there for each other when one of us is in trouble.
Yeah, as long as we don't have to see each other in between, right? What? Well, what about when we're not in trouble, Cor? Well, we can do stuff.
I don't know.
Today was a pretty big day, you know? A garage sale, a fist fight, ended up here at the emergency room.
I'm not sure we can count on this kind of thing happening all the time.
Eric Look, I'm really trying here, okay? I just want everything to be all right with us.
Big brother, little brother.
I got your back.
You got mine.
It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Damn it, Eric.
Is this all because I didn't let you clean out the stupid garage? All right, I'm sorry, okay? Now what do you want from me? What? Look, it's not about the garage, okay? It's about the fact that you shut me out of your life a long time ago.
That's not true.
It's Oh, well, let's look at it this way.
We used to do stuff together and now we don't.
Yeah, we do.
When? We just spent the whole day together.
Today? Oh, yeah, you're right.
I forgot.
You know something? I take it back.
It is about cleaning out the stupid garage.
Dad wanted us to do that together, and you chose to leave me out.
Those are our memories! You have any idea how it felt to go down there and see Shawn and Topanga there instead of me? Look, Eric We're brothers, okay? You know what? You're right.
You're right.
No, we're brothers.
We're not friends.
No, it means you don't have to like me and you don't.
Oh.
What happened? Look at this.
So many days spent trying to master this And then that magical day when everything clicked.
"Go, Eric.
Stay up there.
"You can do it.
" You guys did a lot of things together.
Yeah, we did.
But That was a long time ago.
I made you a sandwich.
Thanks.
Sure you don't want me to help? No.
That's what got me into trouble in the first place.
Am I wrong here? I mean, if I did something wrong, tell me.
Well, I I mean, I realize that I am not the perfect brother, okay? But neither is he.
I mean, we're talking about Eric here.
Yes, we are.
The guy's a total screw-up.
I mean, we spent our wedding night in jail because of him.
Remember? What I remember is having one of the most amazing weddings in the best hotel in Philadelphia because of him.
But it's not like we're still kids anymore.
I mean, we're adults now.
We have our own lives.
Let him get a wife and try and keep up with everybody.
Hmm.
You like that cast? You can have another one.
Look, I did everything I could possibly do to try and patch things up, okay? And he rejected me every step of the way.
He's the one that sold our memories.
I'm not sure it's that simple.
We're completely different people, Topanga.
And besides, where is it written that you have to spend time with your brother? I remember when that's all you wanted to do.
I was jealous.
Shawn was too.
It's easier when you're kids, you know? I mean, I was there.
He was there.
You hop on a sled and the next thing you know, you're laughing at an intersection.
I mean, time goes by and Somehow what you had just sort of fades away.
That doesn't mean you can't get it back.
You have the rest of your life to make new memories.
The question now is just, "Do you want to?" I'll see you at home? Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Where do you think you're going with that? I am taking this garbage bag full of garbage to the garbage.
You are so cute when you try and intimidate me.
Give me the bag.
It's coming home with us.
