The Wonder Years (1988–1993): Season 4, Episode 20 - The Accident - full transcript
After breaking up two months ago, Kevin sees Winnie for the first time. However, it becomes obvious to him that she has changed and is no longer the same girl that he knew growing up. When he sees that she is now hanging around with 11th graders in cars, he worries that he is nothing more than a piece of her past.

-THERE ARE THINGS ABOUT
YOUR CHILDHOOD YOU HOLD ON TO
BECAUSE THEY WERE
SO MUCH A PART OF YOU...
THE PLACES YOU WENT,
THE PEOPLE YOU KNEW.
SOMEWHERE, IN
EVERY MEMORY I HAD...
WAS WINNIE COOPER.
SHE WAS A PART OF ME,
AND I WAS A PART OF HER.
BY THE END OF 9th GRADE, I
KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW...
WAS THAT SHE WAS FALLING APART.
THE MOONLIGHT ROLLER RINK.
IT WAS THE PLACE TO BE SEEN,
A DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN
JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL,
BETWEEN THOSE WHO COULD SKATE...
UNH!
AND THOSE WHO COULDN'T.
I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.
NOT THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE MY OWN STYLE.
IN FACT, I TURNED LACK OF
BALANCE INTO AN ART FORM.
-HI, GUYS!
-WINNIE!
HEY, STRANGER.
-HI.
-HI.
-HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
-GOOD. YOU?
-OKAY.
-IT HAD BEEN TWO MONTHS
SINCE WINNIE AND I BROKE UP,
BUT TO ME, SHE
WAS STILL THE SAME.
-YOU CHANGED YOUR HAIR!
-YEAH. AND I GOT MY
EARS PIERCED. SEE?
-UH-HUH.
THEY LOOK GOOD!
-YOU REALLY THINK SO?
-SURE.
FACT IS, SHE LOOKED BEAUTIFUL.
SO... HOW'S ROGER?
-OH.
-ROGER DIKOVIAN, HER STEADY GUY,
HER CONSTANT FLAME, HER...
-ROGER AND I BROKE UP.
SEE YA, GUYS!
-NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT CAME
AS A COMPLETE SURPRISE.
WHOA!
- UGH!
-KEVIN?
-BUT NOT AS MUCH OF A SURPRISE
AS WHEN SHE SHOWED UP
AT MY HOUSE THE NEXT DAY.
WINNIE.
-ARE YOU BUSY?
-WELL... NO.
I WAS JUST...
NO.
WHY?
-CAN I TALK TO YOU?
-SURE.
YOU WANT TO GO
INSIDE FOR A SODA?
-SURE.
-AFTER ALL, AN
OCCASION LIKE THIS
CALLED FOR A LITTLE PRIVACY.
-WINNIE! THIS IS A SURPRISE!
-HI, MRS. ARNOLD.
-PRIVACY BEING HARD TO COME BY
WHEN YOUR MOM'S
CLOGGING UP THE KITCHEN.
-CAN I GET YOU KIDS
SOMETHING TO EAT?
- WELL...
- UH... NO, THANKS, MOM.
WE'RE FINE.
- OH.
-REALLY.
-WELL...
IF YOU WANT ANYTHING,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.
OKAY?
-THANKS.
IT WAS REALLY NICE SEEING YOU.
-MOM...
UH-HUH. ESPECIALLY
NICE SEEING HER GO.
WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?
-GREAT.
-HAVE A SEAT.
AND WE WERE ALONE...
TOGETHER...
AT LAST.
NOT THAT I KNEW WHY, EXACTLY.
SO, WHAT DID YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
-WELL...
-YOU COULD SEE IN HER EYES
IT WAS SOMETHING
DEEP, IMPORTANT,
POSSIBLY EVEN PHILOSOPHICAL.
-IT'S REALLY GONNA BE FUN
GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL, ISN'T IT?
-HIGH SCHOOL?
-YEAH.
I'M REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT.
-OH, YEAH.
YEAH. HIGH SCHOOL.
-I MEAN, IT MIGHT BE GOOD
TO BE IN A NEW PLACE.
DON'T YOU THINK?
-WELL... SURE.
-ME TOO.
I WAS KIND OF GETTING
SICK OF JUNIOR HIGH.
I MEAN, YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE STUCK
WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE FOREVER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
-UH, DEFINITELY.
NEVER MIND THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE THE FOGGIEST IDEA
OF WHERE THIS WAS GOING.
SO...
IS THAT WHAT YOU
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT?
-WELL, YEAH, KIND OF.
ANYWAY, I HAVE TO GO.
-WELL, WAIT, YOU DIDN'T
EVEN FINISH YOUR SODA.
-THAT'S OKAY.
THANKS FOR LISTENING, KEVIN.
-SURE. ANYTIME.
-WELL, SEE YA.
-AND THERE YOU HAD IT...
OUR FIRST REAL
HEART-TO-HEART IN MONTHS.
JUST ONE LITTLE QUESTION...
-SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE SO DENSE.
-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
-ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?
SHE BROKE UP WITH ROGER.
SHE CAME TO YOUR HOUSE.
DON'T YOU SEE WHAT THIS MEANS?
SHE WANTS YOU BACK.
-'COURSE, I'D BE LYING IF I SAID
I HADN'T CONSIDERED
THE POSSIBILITY.
I DON'T THINK SO.
- UH-HUH.
-PAUL, WINNIE AND I HAVE A
DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP NOW.
-RIGHT.
-HEY, ARNOLD! I HEARD THE
SUPER COOPER'S SINGLE AGAIN.
YOU GOING FOR HER?
-NO.
-DO YOU MIND IF I DO?
-YES!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
OKAY, SO I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT I WAS FEELING.
LOVE DOES THAT TO YOU,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE 14.
ALL I KNEW WAS...
- THANKS!
- THINGS WERE DIFFERENT NOW.
THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN WINNIE COOPER
LIVED ON MY STREET...
WHEN ALL I HAD TO DO
WAS TURN AROUND AND...
WINNIE?
SHE'D BE THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
MAYBE PAUL HAD BEEN RIGHT.
MAYBE THERE WAS A
REASON SHE WAS HERE.
MAYBE IT WAS ME.
-I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES THERE NOW?
-JUST A FAMILY.
-ARE THEY NICE?
-THEY'RE OKAY.
I REALLY HAVEN'T MET THEM.
-IT WAS REALLY NICE
TALKING TO YOU YESTERDAY.
-YEAH.
IT WAS NICE TALKING TO YOU, TOO.
-THERE AREN'T A LOT OF KIDS
AT MY SCHOOL I CAN TALK TO.
I DON'T THINK I FIT IN THERE.
-WHAT?
WINNIE, THAT'S
RIDICULOUS! YOU...
-KEVIN, IT'S JUST KIND OF
HARD TO EXPLAIN, OKAY?
-OKAY.
-IT'S FUNNY.
IT DOESN'T EVEN SEEM
LIKE I EVER LIVED THERE.
-THE THING IS, I KNEW I
SHOULD SAY SOMETHING.
I JUST WASN'T SURE WHAT.
-WELL, I'D BETTER BE GOING.
MY MOM'S EXPECTING ME HOME.
SO, I'LL SEE YOU.
-YEAH. SEE YA.
IT WAS STRANGE.
SUDDENLY, SHE
LOOKED SO OUT OF PLACE
ON THE STREET WHERE
SHE'D SPENT HER ENTIRE LIFE.
WINNIE?
YOU MAYBE WANT
TO GO OUT SOMETIME?
-NO, THANKS.
I THINK I'D JUST
RATHER BE BY MYSELF.
-AND THAT WAS THAT. SIMPLE.
SHE WANTED TO BE ALONE.
EXCEPT, THE NEXT
DAY, SHE WASN'T.
I DON'T GET IT.
-WHAT?
-WINNIE.
LOOK AT HER!
-SHE LOOKS OKAY TO ME.
-PAUL, THOSE GUYS ARE JUNIORS!
-SO?
-PAUL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
GUYS WITH DRIVER'S LICENSES!
BUT IT WASN'T JUST THE DRIVER'S
LICENSES THAT BOTHERED ME.
IT WAS THAT SMILE
ON WINNIE'S FACE.
SHE DIDN'T LOOK
LIKE THAT YESTERDAY.
-COME ON.
LET'S SKATE.
-EASY FOR PAUL TO SAY.
BUT FOR SOME REASON, I
DIDN'T FEEL LIKE SKATING.
IT WAS TIME FOR A TALK.
WINNIE?
-HI, KEVIN.
- HOW YOU DOING?
- ME? FINE.
-I SEE THAT YOU HAVE
SOME NEW FRIENDS.
-YEAH. THEY'RE REALLY NICE GUYS.
-O-KAY.
WELL, WINNIE IT'S JUST THAT
WHEN WE TALKED YESTERDAY...
- OH.
- YOU SAID...
-I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT'S
ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS, KEVIN.
-HEY, WINNIE! COME
ON, WE'RE DOING A WHIP.
-I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!
-I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
-♪ IT'S ONLY TO
CAMOUFLAGE MY SADNESS ♪
-WHAT WAS GOING
ON WITH THIS GIRL?
-♪ TO COVER THIS HURT

-WINNIE? IS SOMETHING WRONG?
-OKAY, GET READY!
-DON'T BE SILLY.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
-YEAH, BUT...
-KEVIN, I TOLD YOU, I DON'T
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
-WELL, I...
AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW...
SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
-ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.
-WINNIE COOPER
WAS OUT OF CONTROL.
-KEVIN, LET ME GO!
-I CAN'T!
-KEVIN, LET GO!

MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE
I WANTED TO HELP HER.
-OKAY.
-AND MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE
I WANTED TO KNOW
SHE NEEDED MY HELP.
-HI, KEVIN!
-HI, MRS. COOPER!
YOU NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT?
-NO, NO. IT'S OKAY.
I CAN HANDLE IT.
HONEY, WHY DON'T YOU
STAY OUT HERE AND TALK?
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, KEVIN.
YOU SHOULD COME
AROUND MORE OFTEN.
-AND WE WERE ALONE AGAIN...
AGAIN.
-HI.
I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
-IT'S OKAY.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE
SURE YOU WERE ALL RIGHT.
-I'M FINE, THANKS.
-AND SHE DID LOOK FINE...
WHICH LEFT ONLY
ONE THING TO SAY.
WINNIE, DOES YOUR MOM KNOW
YOU'RE HANGING OUT
WITH 11th-GRADERS?
APPARENTLY, THE WRONG THING.
-KIND OF. WHY?
-WELL...
IT'S JUST...
LOOK, WINNIE...
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEBODY,
BUT THEN, ALL OF A
SUDDEN, YOU DON'T,
AND YOU FEEL THAT YOU KIND
OF MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING LIKE
THE WAY YOU THOUGHT THEY WOULD?
-KEVIN, WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NOTHING.
BUT IT WASN'T NOTHING.
I JUST... COULDN'T
SAY WHAT IT WAS.
NEW SLEEPING BAG?
-YEAH.
-WELL, YOU GOING ON A TRIP?
-CAMPING.
-OH! SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
-WE GO EVERY YEAR
ON BRIAN'S BIRTHDAY.
THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTHDAY.
I HATE CAMPING.
-HEY, WINNIE, COME ON! LET'S GO.
-YEAH, COME ON, JUMP IN!
-WELL, I GOT TO GO.
SO MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU.
-YEAH.
-HEY, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU?
-MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU.
-OKAY, LET'S GO.
-WINNIE?
-SHE LEFT.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN
I SAW WINNIE COOPER
EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE.
HI.
-HI.
-HI.
-WHATCHA DOING?
-NOTHING.
-MAYBE WE COULD DO
SOMETHING TOMORROW.
I MEAN, IF YOU WANT.
-YEAH. I MEAN, SURE.
IF YOU WANT.
-COME ON, KEV! LET'S GO!
-OKAY, WELL, BYE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
-OKAY, BYE.
-BYE.
BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
I DECIDED TO DEVOTE
MY LIFE TO SKATING.
SKATING WAS SIMPLE, REALLY...
UNH!
AS OPPOSED TO, SAY, WINNIE.
-ARE YOU OKAY?
-YEAH. I'M FINE.
-IT WAS A PRETTY BAD SPILL.
-YEAH, WELL, THANKS FOR ASKING!
-KEVIN?
-OH, NO.
-CAN WE TALK?
-AND HERE WE WENT AGAIN.
-I GUESS YOU THINK I'VE BEEN
ACTING KIND OF WEIRD LATELY.
-WELL, NO.
YES.
-I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN.
-YEAH, WELL, WHY
DON'T YOU TRY, THEN?
-IT'S JUST...
-AND FOR A SECOND, I THOUGHT I
MIGHT ACTUALLY GET AN ANSWER.
-HEY, WINNIE!
HEY, COME ON, WE'RE
GOING FOR A DRIVE!
-GREAT! I GOT TO GO.
-WINNIE! STOP.
-KEVIN, YOU'RE SCARING ME!
-WHAT'S GOING ON?
-I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
-WINNIE, I KNOW YOU...
OR I USED TO KNOW YOU...
AND YOU'RE NOT
ACTING LIKE YOURSELF!
- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ACT?
- LIKE YOU!
LIKE THE WINNIE COOPER I KNOW!
-KEVIN, LET ME GO.
-NO! WHY ARE YOU
ACTING LIKE THIS?
-BECAUSE WHEN I ACT LIKE
MYSELF, EVERYTHING GOES BAD.
-WHAT?
-I JUST WANT TO FORGET
THE PAST THREE YEARS.
-WHAT ABOUT ME?
-YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-WELL, WHAT DO
YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
-NOTHING.
-COME ON.
-THE FUNNY THING IS,
THOSE THREE YEARS
HAD BEEN THE BEST
YEARS OF MY WHOLE LIFE.
I DECIDED TO GIVE UP SKATING.
- KEV.
- WHAT?
- ABOUT WINNIE...
- PAUL!
- KEV!
- WHAT?!
I'D DONE ENOUGH
TALKING ABOUT HER,
WORRYING ABOUT HER.
-SHE HAD AN ACCIDENT...
LAST NIGHT, IN A CAR...
WITH THOSE KIDS.
-LOOK OUT!
WATCH IT!
-WINNIE!
WINNIE!
WINNIE!
I WAITED ALL AFTERNOON.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
-KEVIN?
-MR. COOPER.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
-WELL, IT'S A BROKEN
LEG AND SOME CUTS.
SHE'S GONNA NEED
SOME TIME TO RECOVER,
BUT SHE'LL BE OKAY.
-CAN I SEE HER?
-HELLO, KEVIN.
-MRS. COOPER, MAY I TALK TO HER?
-KEVIN, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD GO HOME NOW.
-WHAT?
-KEVIN, WINNIE DOESN'T
WANT TO SEE YOU RIGHT NOW.
-WH... BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW SHE WANTS TO SEE ME.
-KEVIN... PLEASE GO HOME.
-AND I GUESS THAT'S WHEN
I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD.
I'D BEEN PART OF
WINNIE'S PAST...
A PAST SHE WANTED TO FORGET.
AND NOW...
THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO...
BUT GO.
ONLY I DIDN'T.

NEW SLEEPING BAG?
-YEAH.
-WELL, YOU GOING ON A TRIP?
-CAMPING.
-OH! SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
-WE GO EVERY YEAR
ON BRIAN'S BIRTHDAY.
THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTHDAY.
I HATE CAMPING.
-HEY, WINNIE, COME ON! LET'S GO.
-YEAH, COME ON, JUMP IN!
-WELL, I GOT TO GO.
SO MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU.
-YEAH.
-HEY, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU?
-MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU.
-OKAY, LET'S GO.
-WINNIE?
-SHE LEFT.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN
I SAW WINNIE COOPER
EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE.
HI.
-HI.
-HI.
-WHATCHA DOING?
-NOTHING.
-MAYBE WE COULD DO
SOMETHING TOMORROW.
I MEAN, IF YOU WANT.
-YEAH. I MEAN, SURE.
IF YOU WANT.
-COME ON, KEV! LET'S GO!
-OKAY, WELL, BYE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
-OKAY, BYE.
-BYE.
BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
I DECIDED TO DEVOTE
MY LIFE TO SKATING.
SKATING WAS SIMPLE, REALLY...
UNH!
AS OPPOSED TO, SAY, WINNIE.
-ARE YOU OKAY?
-YEAH. I'M FINE.
-IT WAS A PRETTY BAD SPILL.
-YEAH, WELL, THANKS FOR ASKING!
-KEVIN?
-OH, NO.
-CAN WE TALK?
-AND HERE WE WENT AGAIN.
-I GUESS YOU THINK I'VE BEEN
ACTING KIND OF WEIRD LATELY.
-WELL, NO.
YES.
-I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN.
-YEAH, WELL, WHY
DON'T YOU TRY, THEN?
-IT'S JUST...
-AND FOR A SECOND, I THOUGHT I
MIGHT ACTUALLY GET AN ANSWER.
-HEY, WINNIE!
HEY, COME ON, WE'RE
GOING FOR A DRIVE!
-GREAT! I GOT TO GO.
-WINNIE! STOP.
-KEVIN, YOU'RE SCARING ME!
-WHAT'S GOING ON?
-I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
-WINNIE, I KNOW YOU...
OR I USED TO KNOW YOU...
AND YOU'RE NOT
ACTING LIKE YOURSELF!
- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ACT?
- LIKE YOU!
LIKE THE WINNIE COOPER I KNOW!
-KEVIN, LET ME GO.
-NO! WHY ARE YOU
ACTING LIKE THIS?
-BECAUSE WHEN I ACT LIKE
MYSELF, EVERYTHING GOES BAD.
-WHAT?
-I JUST WANT TO FORGET
THE PAST THREE YEARS.
-WHAT ABOUT ME?
-YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-WELL, WHAT DO
YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
-NOTHING.
-COME ON.
-THE FUNNY THING IS,
THOSE THREE YEARS
HAD BEEN THE BEST
YEARS OF MY WHOLE LIFE.
I DECIDED TO GIVE UP SKATING.
- KEV.
- WHAT?
- ABOUT WINNIE...
- PAUL!
- KEV!
- WHAT?!
I'D DONE ENOUGH
TALKING ABOUT HER,
WORRYING ABOUT HER.
-SHE HAD AN ACCIDENT...
LAST NIGHT, IN A CAR...
WITH THOSE KIDS.
-LOOK OUT!
WATCH IT!
-WINNIE!
WINNIE!
WINNIE!
I WAITED ALL AFTERNOON.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
-KEVIN?
-MR. COOPER.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
-WELL, IT'S A BROKEN
LEG AND SOME CUTS.
SHE'S GONNA NEED
SOME TIME TO RECOVER,
BUT SHE'LL BE OKAY.
-CAN I SEE HER?
-HELLO, KEVIN.
-MRS. COOPER, MAY I TALK TO HER?
-KEVIN, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD GO HOME NOW.
-WHAT?
-KEVIN, WINNIE DOESN'T
WANT TO SEE YOU RIGHT NOW.
-WH... BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW SHE WANTS TO SEE ME.
-KEVIN... PLEASE GO HOME.
-AND I GUESS THAT'S WHEN
I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD.
I'D BEEN PART OF
WINNIE'S PAST...
A PAST SHE WANTED TO FORGET.
AND NOW...
THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO...
BUT GO.
ONLY I DIDN'T.
