Felicity (1998–2002): Season 1, Episode 5 - Spooked - full transcript
A frightening experience pulls Ben and Felicity together, but then pushes them apart.
PREVIOUSLY ON "FELICITY"...
I HAD A GOOD TIME
WITH BEN. I REALLY DID.
IF YOU WANNA DATE BEN... THEN...
THEN I SHOULD.
Zack: DAMN IT!
SOME JERK PUT, LIKE,
FOOD COLORING IN
THE WASHING MACHINE.
PEOPLE ARE REFERRING TO
ME AS "THE PINK GUY" NOW.
OOH, NO.
LET'S JUST... FEEL AWKWARD
WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT
WE'RE GONNA DATE AND BREAK UP WITH.
ARE YOU AT ALL DOING THIS
BECAUSE OF FELICITY OR...?
DO YOU HAVE A THING
FOR THE PINK GUY?
DEAR SALLY...
I DON'T BLAME NEW
YORK. I LOVE NEW YORK.
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED THE
OTHER DAY THAT WAS VERY... NEW YORK.
SO, YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN THE 203?
NO. THAT'S GREAT...
BECAUSE YOU CAN GO FROM BATTERY
PARK TO 72nd IN, LIKE, 5 MINUTES.
REALLY? YEAH.
THAT TAKES YOU
UP WAY WEST, SO...
I MEAN, FIRST OF ALL,
THE ONLY TIMES BEN AND
I EVER REALLY HUNG OUT
WAS WHEN I WAS HELPING
HIM WITH ASSIGNMENTS,
AND EVEN THEN,
WE NEVER REALLY HAD,
YOU KNOW, CONVERSATIONS.
SO, UH, ARE YOU GONNA KEEP
YOUR JOB IN THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE?
YEAH. YEAH?
I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER ONE,
ACTUALLY, TO HELP PAY FOR EVERYTHING.
I HAVE AN INTERVIEW
TOMORROW AT DEAN & DELUCA.
OH, YEAH? THAT COULD BE GOOD.
YEAH. HAVE YOU BEEN THERE? NO.
I MEAN, AND IT WASN'T LIKE
I DIDN'T WANT TO HELP BEN,
BUT THINGS WEREN'T
GETTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL...
YOU KNOW, DEEPENING.
IT'S AMAZING.
DON'T TURN AROUND! OH!
GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!
NOW! DON'T LOOK AT ME!
DON'T LOOK AT ME. LOOK
STRAIGHT AHEAD. [GUN COCKS]
[PANTS]
[GLASS BREAKS]
GET THE STUFF.
NO. DON'T!
UGH! BEN! BEN.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
I NEED YOU TO COME
TO THE, UH, PRECINCT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT FAR.
YOU LOOK THROUGH SOME PICTURES,
SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE.
UH, TOMORROW MORNING
BE ALL RIGHT FOR YOU?
SURE.
HOW ABOUT YOU,
KID? CAN YOU MAKE IT?
YEAH.
YOUR STOMACH ALL RIGHT?
YOU WANT TO BE CHECKED?
NO, IT'S FINE. HUH?
I'M FINE. IT'S JUST A BRUISE.
CAN I GIVE YOU A RIDE,
UH... BACK TO THE DORM?
UM...
[SIGHS, CLEARS THROAT]
UM, NO, THAT'S A GOOD
IDEA. YOU SHOULD GO AHEAD.
ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH, YOU SHOULD GO.
UM... WELL, I'LL CALL YOU LATER,
AND WE CAN GO OVER
THAT ASSIGNMENT.
OKAY.
[INDISTINCT
CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE]
Meghan: I HEARD THERE
WERE SHOTS FIRED.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Noel: YOU HEARD WHAT?
YOU HEARD THERE WERE SHOTS?
SERIOUSLY, DO YOU KNOW
THIS FOR A FACT OR NOT?
SOME GUY IN THE MAILROOM
SAID, "CONGRATULATIONS."
I SAID, "WHY?"
HE SAID, "BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE
THE LARGEST SINGLE ON CAMPUS."
[SIGHS] SOME PEOPLE
ARE SO DAMN SICK.
ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING OVER THERE.
SOMEONE SHOULD STAY
HERE IN CASE SHE COMES BACK.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO.
HI, MR. PORTER.
UH, NO, IT'S... IT'S JULIE.
IS FELICITY HERE?
UM... NO.
BUT...
LOOK, HERE'S... HERE'S NOEL.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
MR. PORTER, HI, THIS IS NOEL.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU, YEAH.
NO, THINGS ARE FINE.
WELL, THEY'D BE A LOT BETTER
IF I DIDN'T HAVE
TO READ "ULYSSES."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT?
YOU'RE CHECKING OUT HER
SIDE OF THE ROOM, AREN'T YOU?
I AM NOT! UM...
UH, NO, FELICITY ISN'T...
ISN'T HERE RIGHT NOW.
UM, WE'RE... WE'RE
JUST HANGING OUT,
UH, WAITING FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[RECEIVER HANGS UP]
ARE YOU OKAY?
UM... YOU HEARD ALREADY.
YEAH, WHAT HAPPENED?
WAS SOMEONE SHOT?
UM... NO ONE WAS SHOT.
WE'RE OKAY. WE WERE LUCKY.
DON'T YOU LOOK
DISAPPOINTED. SHUT UP.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
OH, THAT'S... GONNA BE YOUR DAD.
STAY OFF MY SIDE.
[RINGING CONTINUES]
HELLO?
HI, DAD.
UM... I'M FINE.
THERE'S JUST A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN MY ROOM RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU HANG ON
JUST FOR A MINUTE?
I'M FINE. I SWEAR.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
HI.
[SIGHS] I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
I DON'T... YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY TOOK?
MY IDEA BOOK.
[British accent] YOUR WHAT?
YOU KNOW I'M ALWAYS WRITING
IN THAT BLACK NOTEBOOK.
I HAVEN'T NOTICED.
BEN, IS THIS YOURS?
YEAH, JUST LEAVE
IT. I'LL GET IT LATER.
EVERY GREAT
BUSINESS IDEA I'VE HAD
OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS... [SIGHS]
WENT INTO THAT BOOK...
PROPOSALS AND
LOGOS AND SKETCHES.
I MEAN, WH...
IT WAS LIKE MY
SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.
IT WAS MY FUTURE.
YOU CAN STILL WRITE THEM DOWN.
I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERY GENIUS
ENTREPRENEURIAL IDEA I'VE EVER HAD.
THE UFO STORY 900-NUMBER,
THE MINIQUICK CAR WASH...
I MEAN, THERE WERE HUNDREDS.
THERE WAS NO WAY OF...
OF STOPPING THESE GUYS?
I MEAN, DID... DID
YOU EVEN, YOU KNOW,
THINK ABOUT, UH, TRYING?
[Sighing] OH, DAMN
IT. I'M SORRY.
Felicity: IT WAS
SURREAL, YOU KNOW?
AND THEN I... I LOOKED UP,
AND... AND I SAW HIS FACE.
AND IT WAS LIKE,
"THERE IS A REAL PERSON
POINTING A REAL GUN AT ME."
YEAH, I-I WOULD HAVE LOST IT.
I WOULD HAVE STARTED SCREAMING.
I'D HAVE WET MY PANTS
AND STARTED SCREAMING.
A HOMELESS GUY
PUSHED ME OVER ONCE.
RUINED MY BIRTHDAY CAKE.
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
YEAH, IT'S THE CLOSEST I'VE
EVER COME TO GETTING ROBBED.
I WAS 12. IT WAS WEIRD.
[LIGHT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
[SIGHS] FOR A WOMAN,
HAVING A GUN POINTED AT YOU
IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING.
HAS THAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YEAH.
A COUPLE YEARS AGO
[SIGHS] I WAS MUGGED...
WHICH REALLY PISSED ME OFF.
PINK GUY, 12:00.
HEY.
HEY, I HEARD ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED. YOU OKAY?
YEAH, YEAH. IT WAS
JUST, UM, A LITTLE SCARY.
YEAH, I GOT HELD UP AT
KNIFE POINT ONCE, SO...
[Sighing] COULD I, UM...
TALK TO YOU? SURE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
SO, WHAT DID THE COPS SAY?
UH, BEN AND I HAVE TO GO
DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION,
GO THROUGH SOME MUG SHOTS.
OH, REALLY? THAT'S GOOD.
YEAH.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SIGHS]
HAVE YOU EVER
SEEN "THE EXORCIST"?
NO.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
HOW COME?
THEY'RE SHOWING IT
AT THE FILM SOCIETY,
LIKE, A HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.
OH.
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN
IT IN A LONG TIME.
NO, UH, ME NEITHER.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO?
WHAT?
GO.
ARE YOU INVITING ME?
DIDN'T I? NOT YET.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] I'M SORRY.
[CHUCKLES]
IT'S TOMORROW NIGHT.
I THINK WE SHOULD...
DO YOU WANNA GO?
SURE.
REALLY?
[SIGHS]
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
Hey, it's Ben.
[SIGHS] What are you doing?
WHAT?
Are you asleep?
NO.
Okay, I guess I'm,
um, I'm downstairs.
HEY.
HEY.
[SIGHS]
SO, IT'S AFTER 2:00.
YEAH, I KNOW. I KNOW.
I JUST, UH...
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE
BIT SHAKEN UP. I JUST... [SIGHS]
I WANTED TO COME BY AND SEE THAT
YOU WERE OKAY, MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
[SIGHS]
I REMEMBERED READING
SOMEWHERE THAT...
THAT SOLDIERS WHO HAD
BEEN THROUGH BATTLE...
THAT THEY HAVE SOME KIND
OF SPECIAL BOND BECAUSE...
YOU KNOW, THEY SURVIVED IT.
I NEVER REALLY KNEW
WHAT THAT MEANT...
BEFORE LAST NIGHT.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
SORRY.
[Spanish accent] YOU
DRINK A LOT OF COFFEE?
NO, I JUST...
I HAD A REALLY AMAZING
NIGHT LAST NIGHT.
REALLY? [SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS] WH... WHAT HAPPENED?
I WAS ALMOST KILLED.
[GASPS] NO. YEAH.
IN A ROBBERY, YEAH.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
BUT THEN I STAYED UP
ALL NIGHT WITH THIS GUY
WHO I'VE SORT OF REALLY
LIKED FOR A LONG TIME, SO...
AW, THAT'S AN AMAZING
FEELING, ISN'T IT?
OH, MY GOD.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
WHAT IS, UM... "PERFECTLY ME"?
OH, UH, MY JUNIOR
YEAR, I WORKED THERE.
IT'S A CLOTHING STORE
FOR WOMEN SIZES 16 AND UP.
IT WAS REALLY NICE. THEY
HAD SOME GREAT STUFF.
THEY DIDN'T HATE YOU?
WHO?
THE FAT WOMEN.
UH... THEY WEREN'T FAT.
UM...
SIZE 16 AND UP ARE...
I REALLY LIKED WORKING THERE.
[Sighing] CAN YOU BE
HERE TOMORROW AT NOON?
DOES THAT MEAN I GOT THE JOB?
IF YOU WANT IT.
COOL! [CHUCKLES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
WHAT'S THIS?
IT WAS ON MY DOOR.
YEAH, THAT I, UH...
THIS IS A MEN'S ROOM.
ALICE SAYS YOU PUT IT THERE.
YEAH, IT'S LAME, I KNOW,
BUT THE UNIVERSITY
ASKED ALL THE R.A.s
TO DECORATE FOR HALLOWEEN,
SO... SO I GET A WITCH?
[TOILET FLUSHES]
IS THAT A PROBLEM?
I COULD GET A SKELETON, A
PUMPKIN, A GHOST, BUT I GET A WITCH!
IT'S COOL. I'M WITH HIM.
WOULD YOU FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE WITH A PUMPKIN?
I HATE HALLOWEEN.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE
REALLY LIKES HALLOWEEN.
NO, I LIKE HALLOWEEN.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
WHAT MOTIVE DO I
HAVE TO LIE ABOUT THAT?
[SIGHS]
WHAT ARE... WHAT ARE YOU
DOING... FOR HALLOWEEN?
I HAVE WORK TO DO.
WE ALL HAVE WORK TO DO.
YEAH, BUT I ACTUALLY DO MINE.
UH-HUH.
WELL, I'M GOING TO THAT PARTY.
DO YOU WANNA GO? YEAH.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
TELEPHONE RINGING]
THE DETECTIVE SAID WE
SHOULD TAKE OUR TIME.
YES. IT'S JUST NONE OF THESE
GUYS LOOK FAMILIAR TO ME.
WELL, YOU CAN'T TELL THAT IF
YOU'RE NOT REALLY LOOKING.
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]
YOU GOT ANYTHING SO FAR?
NO.
I FOUND ONE, UM...
HE LOOKS LIKE THIS GUY, SORT OF,
EXCEPT, UM...
MAYBE 10 YEARS
YOUNGER AND MAYBE, UH,
20 POUNDS THINNER.
NO, BUT BESIDES THAT.
IT GIVES HIM AN IDEA.
[RINGING CONTINUES]
UH... HOW ABOUT YOU?
YOU FIND ANYTHING?
NO, I GOT NOTHING.
[CLEARS THROAT]
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW,
I GOTTA GET GOING.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YEAH, I'M SUPPOSED
TO MEET PAUL, SO...
WELL, YOU CAN COME
BACK TOMORROW.
YEAH, TOMORROW IS MUCH
BETTER FOR ME, MUCH BETTER.
UM... BUT I'M GONNA SEE YOU
LATER, THOUGH, ALL RIGHT?
SURE.
[RINGING CONTINUES]
YOU KNOW, THIS PROCESS IS, UH...
IT'S DIFFICULT FOR
SOME PEOPLE, YOU KNOW?
APPARENTLY.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
SCREENING OF "THE
PETRIFIED FOREST."
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]
[HORNS HONK]
THANK YOU SO MUCH. FOR WHAT?
FOR NOT GETTING MAD AT ME
WHEN I SPILLED
COKE ALL OVER YOU.
[LAUGHS] HEY,
THAT STUFF'S SCARY.
AND FOR LETTING
ME HOLD YOUR HAND.
NO, THAT WAS... THAT WAS FINE.
WHEN SHE STARTED TALKING
LIKE THE PRIEST'S MOTHER,
IT WAS LIKE, OH,
MY GOD. FORGET IT.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
YEAH, THE GUY WHO DID
THE MAKEUP... DICK SMITH...
HE'S, LIKE, A MENTOR NOW TO
ALL THESE FAMOUS MAKEUP GUYS.
YOU EVER HEARD OF
RICK BAKER? NO. MNH-MNH.
OH, HERE.
OH. [CHUCKLES]
THANKS.
IT PROBABLY... GOT COLD.
IT DID. IT REALLY
DID. OH, SORRY.
ARE YOU... ARE YOU HUNGRY?
I'M STARVED.
GOOD.
LET'S... LET'S FIND
A PLACE. OKAY.
[GIGGLES]
"I WAS A CHILD,
"AND SHE WAS A CHILD IN
THIS KINGDOM BY THE SEA.
BUT WE LOVED WITH A LOVE
THAT WAS MORE THAN A LOVE..."
"We loved with a love that
was more than a love..."
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
Ben: Hey.
HEY. WHAT'S GOING ON?
I'm, um...
uh, I'm downstairs again.
HEY.
HEY.
ARE YOU GOING OUT?
YEAH.
IT'S KIND OF LATE.
UH, I CAN'T SLEEP, SO...
ARE... ARE YOU GOING ALONE?
NOEL...
OKAY, JUST BE CAREFUL.
I WILL.
THE LAST TIME I DID THIS,
I WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING
AS YERTLE THE TURTLE.
[CHUCKLES]
WHAT WAS THAT, LIKE,
A COUPLE YEARS AGO?
[CHUCKLES] I WAS 10.
MY MOM MADE THIS SHELL OUT
OF CARDBOARD AND GREEN FELT.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A
PRETTY COOL COSTUME.
YEAH, IT SOUNDS NICE.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
THESE SHOULD BE
GOOD FOR THE PARTY.
SO, SEAN THROWS
THIS EVERY HALLOWEEN?
YEAH, I GUESS SO. YEAH.
HAD TO GO BUY A NEW
STEREO, THOUGH, YOU KNOW,
'CAUSE THEY TOOK THE OLD ONE.
YEAH. YEAH.
BUT YOU GOTTA COME.
ARE YOU DRESSING UP?
YEAH.
FRANKENSTEIN... I'M
THINKING ABOUT IT,
OR IS THAT, UH, IS
THAT TOO STUPID?
NO, I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
I COULD, UM... YOU KNOW...
WHAT?
YOU KNOW THE BRIDE
OF FRANKENSTEIN?
I COULD... WITH THAT
STREAK-IN-THE-HAIR THING.
YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.
OH, YEAH, WE'LL
HANG OUT. IT'LL BE FUN.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
SO, WHY DID YOU LEAVE
THE POLICE STATION?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WERE YOU UPSET OR ANYTHING?
NO.
NO, I WAS FINE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA
TELL MY MOM ABOUT THAT NECKLACE.
MY GRANDMOTHER GAVE
IT TO HER WHEN SHE WAS 13,
AND THEN WHEN I TURNED
13, MY MOM GAVE IT TO ME.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
SHE SAID IT WAS GOOD LUCK,
WHICH IS KIND OF IRONIC, HUH?
YEAH, I HAVEN'T FELT
THAT WAY IN A LONG TIME.
WHICH WAY?
JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE,
WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING.
YOU'VE FELT THAT WAY BEFORE?
WELL, NOT EXACTLY LIKE THAT, NO.
LET'S TRY THESE OUT.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU HAVEN'T FELT THAT
WAY FOR A LONG TIME?
NOTHING. I DON'T KNOW. NOTHING.
I WAS JUST TALKING.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
YES.
[LAUGHS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
WELL, YOURS IS AMAZING.
LOOK AT MINE.
I LOVE YOURS!
WELL...
YOU KNOW HOW THEY
TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU DIE,
UM...
HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SEE
YOUR LIFE FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES?
BUT WHEN WE WERE
LYING THERE ON THE FLOOR,
I DIDN'T SEE MY WHOLE LIFE.
BUT I HAD THESE...
THESE STUPID CONCERNS,
YOU KNOW, LIKE...
IF WE DIED, WE WEREN'T GOING
TO FINISH OUR ASSIGNMENT...
[Chuckling] LIKE THAT MATTERS.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
OR IF I DIED,
I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T GET
THAT JOB AT DEAN & DELUCA.
OR HOW I'D NEVER KNOW
WHAT I GOT ON MY CHEM LAB.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I WAS THINKING.
YEAH. YEAH.
[SIGHS]
YOU KNOW, GROWING UP WAS
ALWAYS REALLY WEIRD WITH MY DAD.
I MEAN...
YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT
WAS GONNA SET HIM OFF.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
I MEAN...
ALCOHOL IS PRETTY
OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM,
BUT BESIDES THAT,
I-I COULD NEVER TELL.
I WAS LIKE... IT WAS LIKE...
LIVING WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB.
I CAME HERE, IN SOME WAYS,
TO NOT FEEL LIKE THAT AGAIN,
'CAUSE I WAS SO SICK
OF FEELING UNSAFE.
IMAGINE...[CHUCKLES]
IMAGINE MOVING TO
NEW YORK TO FEEL SAFE.
[DOOR OPENS]
HEY.
Sean: HEY.
WOW.
THOSE LOOK GREAT.
MAN.
OH, YOU'RE A GENIUS.
IS THIS TASTE OF TOKYO?
YEAH, TAKE IT.
OH, YES.
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOTHING. WE WERE
JUST FINISHING UP.
UM... CAN YOU CALL
FELICITY A CAB?
YEAH.
YEAH, I'LL WALK YOU DOWN.
ARE... ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M JUST TIRED.
ARE YOU SURE?
BECAUSE WE CAN TALK
SOME MORE, I MEAN,
I'M ALREADY GONNA BE
EXHAUSTED TOMORROW ANYWAY.
NO, I'M FINE. I JUST
NEED SOME SLEEP,
OKAY.
I'M... I'M REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE PARTY.
YEAH, IT'S GONNA BE
FUN. IT'S GONNA BE GOOD.
BEN WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
ME AT THE POLICE STATION.
WE WERE GONNA GO THROUGH
SOME MORE MUG SHOTS
AND THEN GO GET
SOMETHING TO EAT.
WE EVEN TALKED ABOUT
GOING UP TO CENTRAL PARK,
BUT HE JUST DIDN'T SHOW.
HAS HE SHOWN UP YET?
HE KNEW 10:00. UM...
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD
AND LOOK AT THE FILES MYSELF.
YEAH, YEAH. COME
ON IN. RIGHT IN HERE.
SIT OVER THERE.
Elena: SO...
ABOUT YESTERDAY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO FREAK OUT
ABOUT THE CARDBOARD WITCH.
OKAY?
NO, IT'S FINE.
MY FATHER NEVER LET US
GO OUT FOR HALLOWEEN.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS DANGEROUS.
UH-HUH.
SO...
I NEVER REALLY GOT
THE STUPID HOLIDAY...
YOU KNOW?
WHAT ARE THOSE?
OUR COSTUMES.
WE'RE GOING AS SUBWAY EMPLOYEES?
I THINK IT'S FUNNY.
YOU DO?
YEAH, MY BUDDY ED MANAGES
THE ONE ON 7th AVENUE.
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO DISAPPOINTED?
BECAUSE I HATE HALLOWEEN.
LOOK, I GOTTA GO
TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
THERE'S AN
EMERGENCY R.A. MEETING
ABOUT BULIMIA OR SOMETHING.
UM... PUT THIS ON.
AND... I'LL MEET
YOU AT THE PARTY.
YOU WANT ME TO GO ALONE?
I'LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR.

[Laughing] OH, MY GOD.
HOW DOES SHE LIVE?
WELL, SHE'S MARRIED TO A GUY

BUT COME ON!
WITHOUT MONEY, YOU'RE SCREWED.
SO THEN I THOUGHT,
"PLASTIC SURGERY"...
BOOB JOBS, TUMMY TUCKS.
[Slurring] I CARVED
THAT PUMPKIN.
A PRACTICE LIKE
THAT IS A CASH COW.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT?
WILL YOU HOLD THIS?
I'M GONNA, UM, GO TO THE

PARDON ME.
[RECORD SCRATCHING RHYTHMICALLY]

IT'S TOO HUMILIATING.
LOOK, COME ON,
YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
IT'S OKAY, ALL RIGHT?
I JUST WANNA HELP.
YOU CAN'T HELP.
[SIGHS]
IS IT BEN?
NO.
YES. HE...
I SAW HIM KISSING THE
PINK POWER RANGER.
YOU DID?
OKAY. UM...
I'M JUST...

I THINK...
I THINK WE NEED TO FORGET
ABOUT BEN FOR THE MOMENT,
AND FOCUS... FOCUS ON YOU.
OKAY? [SIGHS]
I-I DON'T THINK THIS
IS HELPING VERY MUCH.
WELL, I'M JUST GETTING STARTED.
UM, SEE...
THIS REALLY AWFUL
THING JUST HAPPENED,
AND IT'S LEFT A DARK
CLOUD HOVERING,
AND... AND IT'S... IT'S
MADE YOU FEEL LIKE...
LIKE YOU'RE WEAK AND VULNERABLE.
BUT... YOU'RE FORGETTING
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU'RE FORGETTING WHO YOU ARE...
IN THE EQUATION.
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE YOU'RE
THIS REALLY STRONG...
AND... AND INDEPENDENT...
AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
AND BEFORE YOU LET
YOURSELF GET CAUGHT UP
IN THE DRAMA OF THE MOMENT...
YOU GOTTA KNOW
YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE MORE THAN FINE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE...
Y-YOU'RE GONNA BE GREAT...
OKAY?
YOU THINK?
I DO.
[VOMITS]
OH, NO. OH!
OH, THAT REALLY CHANGES
MY WHOLE ATTITUDE ABOUT YOU!
I'M SO SORRY.
NO. IT'S OKAY.
UM...
I'M WEARING GLOVES.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[SIGHS]
ELENA, IT'S NOEL. ARE YOU THERE?
[SNIFFS] YOU STILL ASLEEP?
WHAT'S UP?
UH, I JUST... I JUST
WANTED TO SAY I'M SORRY.
Shh!
I-I'm sorry...
and embarrassed...
um... and you have
every right to be...
IS THERE SOMEONE IN THERE?
THE TIN MAN. WHAT?
HIS NAME IS BLAIR.
[SIGHS]
THE TIN MAN'S IN YOUR ROOM?
Will you shut up?
SURE. [CHUCKLES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
WE JUST HUNG OUT
AND LISTENED TO MUSIC.
FINE. WHATEVER.
UM, JUST BE CAREFUL.
I, UH, HEAR HE
DOESN'T HAVE A HEART.
[CHUCKLES]
YEAH, VERY FUNNY.
HAVE FUN.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
HI.
HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
HUH?
YOU AND I SHARED A
MOMENT THE OTHER NIGHT,
AND NOW YOU'RE FREAKED
OUT, SO YOU'RE BLOWING ME OFF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU INVITED ME TO THAT PARTY.
YES, AND YOU CAME TO MY PARTY.
DO YOU KNOW HOW STUPID I FELT
IN THAT BRIDE OF
FRANKENSTEIN COSTUME?
WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE
IT WASN'T HALLOWEEN.
WHAT WERE THOSE 2:00
A.M. CALLS ALL ABOUT, THEN?
NOTHING. I WAS JUST
WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YEAH? YEAH.
NO, YOU WEREN'T. YOU
WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YOU WERE LONELY, AND
YOU WERE FREAKED OUT,
AND AS SOON AS YOU GOT TOO
CLOSE, YOU JUST TURNED OFF.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU TRY...
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME?
THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU
NEED A FRIEND AT 2:00 A.M.,
CALL THE PINK POWER RANGER.
[SIGHS]
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOT EVERYBODY'S
LIKE YOU, ALL RIGHT?
CRAZY, SENSITIVE, AND
ALWAYS JUDGING EVERYBODY.
I DON'T ALWAYS JUDGE EVERYBODY.
I ALWAYS JUDGE YOU.
WELL, I CAN'T...
YOU KNOW, I CANNOT
LIVE UP TO THAT...
ALL RIGHT?
I MEAN, I'M A GUY IN COLLEGE.
IF I WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH
A POWER RANGER OR A GHOST
OR A CHEERLEADER, I CAN DO THAT.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ME
FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT, EITHER.
I MEAN, NOT EVERYTHING
HAS BIG MEANING, OKAY?
I MEAN, YES, YEAH, WE HAD A
NICE MOMENT THE OTHER NIGHT,
BUT SO WHAT?
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
SO, I HAD AN EPIPHANY...
BUT IT'S PROBABLY
REALLY OBVIOUS TO YOU.
I'VE BEEN ACTING INSANE...
OBSESSED OVER A GUY WHO,
IT TURNS OUT, IS JUST A GUY.
AND WHAT I REALLY NEED
TO DO IS JUST LET IT GO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T
SWIPE YOUR PLAYSTATION, MAN.
YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S NOT MINE.
SO, WHAT, YOU WENT OUT
WITH JULIE A LITTLE, RIGHT?
I HEARD THAT.
WE DIDN'T REALLY GO OUT.
WE JUST SORT OF HUNG OUT.
WHY?
I KISSED HER.
AND...
[Sighing] I DON'T
KNOW. SHE SORT OF...
SHUT ME DOWN.
I WONDER IF I SHOULD
GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.
I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THAT'S WHAT SHE
WANTS OR NOT, SO...
I GOTTA TAKE A WALK.
[SIGHS]
YEAH, I GOTTA GO
WORK ON THAT MOVIE.
HEY.
HEY.
[SIGHS]
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
YOU TREAT ME LIKE
AN ACTUAL PERSON.
AREN'T YOU... ONE?
[CHUCKLES]
LAST NIGHT, WHEN...
WHEN I KISSED YOU AND
SCREWED UP OUR RELATIONSHIP.
I GOT REALLY FREAKED OUT.
AND... AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I-I JUST GOT THIS... CHILL.
I JUST...
I DON'T WANNA MESS UP
THE THING THAT WE HAVE...
WHATEVER IT IS.
LOOK, THAT'S [SIGHS]
TOTALLY COOL WITH ME.
I MEAN...
YOU KNOW, I WAS
ACTING ON THIS IMPULSE,
WHICH NORMALLY I... I
WOULDN'T HAVE DONE, YOU KNOW.
BUT I-I'M NOT...
THE MOST EXPERIENCED
GUY OF ALL TIME.
ZACK... NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
I DON'T WANNA
RUIN THINGS EITHER.
WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
THAT'S... THAT'S FINE.

NOT REALLY.
I'M SORT OF AT AN IMPASSE.
I-I INTERVIEWED THIS ONE WOMAN.
SHE'S AFRAID OF ELECTRICITY.
LIKE, SHE WON'T TOUCH A
LIGHT SWITCH OR ANYTHING.
SHE'S AFRAID IT MIGHT KILL HER.
[Laughing] OH, MY GOD.
HOW DOES SHE LIVE?
WELL, SHE'S MARRIED TO A GUY
WHO'S NOT AFRAID OF ELECTRICITY,
WHICH IS NICE.
[LAUGHING]
SO, I... I LIKE YOUR COSTUME.
I LIKE YOUR HAT.
UH... IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER'S.
[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]
[RECORD SCRATCHING RHYTHMICALLY]
[Sighing] OH, GOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK I-I'M JUST
GONNA GO BACK UPSTAIRS.
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
UM...
MAYBE A NOOSE.
[Chuckling] STOP IT.
Andrew: YEAH. MEDICINE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT SICK PEOPLE,
BUT COME ON!
WITHOUT MONEY, YOU'RE SCREWED.
SO THEN I THOUGHT,
"PLASTIC SURGERY"...
BOOB JOBS, TUMMY TUCKS.
[Slurring] I CARVED
THAT PUMPKIN.
A PRACTICE LIKE
THAT IS A CASH COW.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT?
WILL YOU HOLD THIS?
I'M GONNA, UM, GO TO THE
BATHROOM AND... AND THROW UP.
PARDON ME.
[RECORD SCRATCHING RHYTHMICALLY]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
ZACK JUST KISSED ME.
WHAT?
AND I... I FREAKED OUT.
YOU DID? YOU
FREAKED OUT? I BLEW IT.
I JUST... I FREAKED OUT,
WHICH IS SO UNLIKE ME.
'CAUSE I REALLY NEED A BATHROOM.
OH, MY GOD, NO. GO. GO. GO.
OKAY, I MEAN, UNLESS YOU'RE
NOT OKAY, AND THEN I'LL HOLD IT.
NO, I-I'M OKAY.
I'M FINE. REALLY.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS LATER.
THANK YOU.
[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]
OH, SORRY.

[CRYING]
HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
I'M OKAY. I JUST...
[SNIFFLING] CAN
YOU JUST GO AWAY?
I DON'T WANT ANYONE
TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.
IT'S TOO HUMILIATING.
LOOK, COME ON,
YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
IT'S OKAY, ALL RIGHT?
I JUST WANNA HELP.
YOU CAN'T HELP.
[SIGHS]
IS IT BEN?
NO.
YES. HE...
I SAW HIM KISSING THE
PINK POWER RANGER.
YOU DID?
OKAY. UM...
I'M JUST...
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE
THERE'S NO SOLACE IN ANYTHING,
LIKE WHEREVER YOU
TURN, YOU'RE JUST LOST?
I MEAN, I'VE NEVER FELT SO LOST
IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY BEFORE.
OKAY, HELP ME, GO, START.
[SNIFFLING]
UM, ALL RIGHT...
WELL, UM...
[SIGHS] OKAY, THIS
IS WHAT I THINK.
I THINK...
I THINK WE NEED TO FORGET
ABOUT BEN FOR THE MOMENT,
AND FOCUS... FOCUS ON YOU.
OKAY? [SIGHS]
I-I DON'T THINK THIS
IS HELPING VERY MUCH.
WELL, I'M JUST GETTING STARTED.
UM, SEE...
THIS REALLY AWFUL
THING JUST HAPPENED,
AND IT'S LEFT A DARK
CLOUD HOVERING,
AND... AND IT'S... IT'S
MADE YOU FEEL LIKE...
LIKE YOU'RE WEAK AND VULNERABLE.
BUT... YOU'RE FORGETTING
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU'RE FORGETTING WHO YOU ARE...
IN THE EQUATION.
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE YOU'RE
THIS REALLY STRONG...
AND... AND INDEPENDENT...
AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
AND BEFORE YOU LET
YOURSELF GET CAUGHT UP
IN THE DRAMA OF THE MOMENT...
YOU GOTTA KNOW
YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE MORE THAN FINE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE...
Y-YOU'RE GONNA BE GREAT...
OKAY?
YOU THINK?
I DO.
[VOMITS]
OH, NO. OH!
OH, THAT REALLY CHANGES
MY WHOLE ATTITUDE ABOUT YOU!
I'M SO SORRY.
NO. IT'S OKAY.
UM...
I'M WEARING GLOVES.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[SIGHS]
ELENA, IT'S NOEL. ARE YOU THERE?
[SNIFFS] YOU STILL ASLEEP?
WHAT'S UP?
UH, I JUST... I JUST
WANTED TO SAY I'M SORRY.
Shh!
I-I'm sorry...
and embarrassed...
um... and you have
every right to be...
IS THERE SOMEONE IN THERE?
THE TIN MAN. WHAT?
HIS NAME IS BLAIR.
[SIGHS]
THE TIN MAN'S IN YOUR ROOM?
Will you shut up?
SURE. [CHUCKLES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
WE JUST HUNG OUT
AND LISTENED TO MUSIC.
FINE. WHATEVER.
UM, JUST BE CAREFUL.
I, UH, HEAR HE
DOESN'T HAVE A HEART.
[CHUCKLES]
YEAH, VERY FUNNY.
HAVE FUN.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
HI.
HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
HUH?
YOU AND I SHARED A
MOMENT THE OTHER NIGHT,
AND NOW YOU'RE FREAKED
OUT, SO YOU'RE BLOWING ME OFF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU INVITED ME TO THAT PARTY.
YES, AND YOU CAME TO MY PARTY.
DO YOU KNOW HOW STUPID I FELT
IN THAT BRIDE OF
FRANKENSTEIN COSTUME?
WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE
IT WASN'T HALLOWEEN.
WHAT WERE THOSE 2:00
A.M. CALLS ALL ABOUT, THEN?
NOTHING. I WAS JUST
WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YEAH? YEAH.
NO, YOU WEREN'T. YOU
WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
YOU WERE LONELY, AND
YOU WERE FREAKED OUT,
AND AS SOON AS YOU GOT TOO
CLOSE, YOU JUST TURNED OFF.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU TRY...
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME?
THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU
NEED A FRIEND AT 2:00 A.M.,
CALL THE PINK POWER RANGER.
[SIGHS]
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOT EVERYBODY'S
LIKE YOU, ALL RIGHT?
CRAZY, SENSITIVE, AND
ALWAYS JUDGING EVERYBODY.
I DON'T ALWAYS JUDGE EVERYBODY.
I ALWAYS JUDGE YOU.
WELL, I CAN'T...
YOU KNOW, I CANNOT
LIVE UP TO THAT...
ALL RIGHT?
I MEAN, I'M A GUY IN COLLEGE.
IF I WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH
A POWER RANGER OR A GHOST
OR A CHEERLEADER, I CAN DO THAT.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ME
FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT, EITHER.
I MEAN, NOT EVERYTHING
HAS BIG MEANING, OKAY?
I MEAN, YES, YEAH, WE HAD A
NICE MOMENT THE OTHER NIGHT,
BUT SO WHAT?
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
SO, I HAD AN EPIPHANY...
BUT IT'S PROBABLY
REALLY OBVIOUS TO YOU.
I'VE BEEN ACTING INSANE...
OBSESSED OVER A GUY WHO,
IT TURNS OUT, IS JUST A GUY.
AND WHAT I REALLY NEED
TO DO IS JUST LET IT GO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T
SWIPE YOUR PLAYSTATION, MAN.
YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S NOT MINE.
SO, WHAT, YOU WENT OUT
WITH JULIE A LITTLE, RIGHT?
I HEARD THAT.
WE DIDN'T REALLY GO OUT.
WE JUST SORT OF HUNG OUT.
WHY?
I KISSED HER.
AND...
[Sighing] I DON'T
KNOW. SHE SORT OF...
SHUT ME DOWN.
I WONDER IF I SHOULD
GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.
I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THAT'S WHAT SHE
WANTS OR NOT, SO...
I GOTTA TAKE A WALK.
[SIGHS]
YEAH, I GOTTA GO
WORK ON THAT MOVIE.
HEY.
HEY.
[SIGHS]
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
YOU TREAT ME LIKE
AN ACTUAL PERSON.
AREN'T YOU... ONE?
[CHUCKLES]
LAST NIGHT, WHEN...
WHEN I KISSED YOU AND
SCREWED UP OUR RELATIONSHIP.
I GOT REALLY FREAKED OUT.
AND... AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I-I JUST GOT THIS... CHILL.
I JUST...
I DON'T WANNA MESS UP
THE THING THAT WE HAVE...
WHATEVER IT IS.
LOOK, THAT'S [SIGHS]
TOTALLY COOL WITH ME.
I MEAN...
YOU KNOW, I WAS
ACTING ON THIS IMPULSE,
WHICH NORMALLY I... I
WOULDN'T HAVE DONE, YOU KNOW.
BUT I-I'M NOT...
THE MOST EXPERIENCED
GUY OF ALL TIME.
ZACK... NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
I DON'T WANNA
RUIN THINGS EITHER.
WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
THAT'S... THAT'S FINE.
