"It's always mattered more to me what my friends think of me than I do."
Type: Memory, Neutral-Positive
What it is: This is the last 10 minutes or so of "Girl Meets Flaws" and how Riley decides they need to deal with someone bullying their friend and an award ceremony at the end. I've included the transcript and youtube episode! She will learn everyone's names but her own that are mentioned and will know her last name is Matthews. Everything else will come through clear, as well, but there won't be any exactness on what Billy said to Farkle for now.
Starts at 14:00-END
~MORNING~
RILEY: I DON'T EVEN THINK BILLY THINKS HE DID ANYTHING WRONG.
MAYA: YEAH. WHERE'S THAT COME FROM?
CORY: GIRLS. AT THIS AGE YOU'RE JUST FINDING OUT WHO YOU ARE. I MEAN PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY WALK AROUND WEARING SIGNS THAT TELL YOU.
*AVA WALKS IN WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS "SPOILED ROTTEN"*
AVA: HERE I AM!
CORY: AH. WHAT DO I KNOW?
AVA: WHERE'S MY BREAKY?
TOPANGA: OH, JOY.
AVA: AND NONE OF THAT TOASTER PASTRY, TOPANGA. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT'S A SHORTCUT.
MAYA: *HOLDS UP POPTART* WHY DON'T YOU LOVE US?
*AVA VS TOPANGA*
RILEY: UH-OH
*TOPANGA PICKS UP AVA AND KISSES HER CHEEK*
AVA: WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
TOPANGA: NEVER CHANGE, AVA.
AVA: YOU KNOW. IF YOU EVER WANT TO KISS ME AGAIN, I WOULDN'T STOP YOU.
TOPANGA: YOU BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE, AVA. YOU WEAR IT PROUDLY.
RILEY: WAS THAT FOR MY BENEFIT, MOM?
TOPANGA: HOW YA DOIN'?
MAYA: RILEY, YOU CAN'T FIX EVERYTHING.
*RILEY GIVES HER A LOOK*
MAYA: OKAY, GO AHEAD.
The girls head to school and just went they get to history class Riley has all of the students in the room write the flaw they most dislike about themselves on their foreheads. The only one who doesn't have one is Billy when Cory walks into the room.
CORY: WHAT'S GOING ON?
"TATTLETALE GIRL": RILEY MADE US WRITE ON OUR HEADS?
CORY: RILEY?
RILEY: INSECURE. IT'S ALWAYS MATTERED MORE TO ME WHAT MY FRIENDS THINK ABOUT ME THAN WHAT I THINK.
CORY: MAYA?
MAYA (WHOSE FOREHEAD READS "BROKEN"): WHEN I OWN IT IT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL SO BAD.
CORY: GOOD. SO, BEFORE SOMEONE CAN USE OUR OWN FLAWS AGAINST US MAYBE IT WOULD HELP US TO ADMIT WE ALL HAVE THEM.
*EVERYONE LOOKS AT BILLY WHO THEN TRIES TO LEAVE*
CORY: YOU GOING SOMEWHERE, MR. ROSS? TRYING TO BE INVISIBLE?
FARKLE: BELIEVE ME IT DOESN'T HELP. *PUSHES BACK HIS bANGS TO READ "NOTHING"*
CORY: YOU KNOW, UH, BILLY. I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOU SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONE HERE NOT WEARING A FLAW. IS THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY?
BILLY: WELL. NONE I KNOW OF.
MAYA: WHAT MADE YOU TREAT FARKLE THE WAY YOU DID?
RILEY: YEAH. WE NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU THAT WAY.
LUCAS: I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS ONE OF THE GOOD GUY.
BILLY: LOOK. I LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE ME. IS THAT A FLAW? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK SO.
EVERYONE: YES.
BILLY: YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW I'LL NEVER BE A GENIUS FREAK LIKE YOU? I SHOULDN'T MAKE FUN OF THAT?
EVERYONE: NO.
BILLY: STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD. I ALREADY FEEL BAD ENOUGH YOU'VE GOT SUCH GREAT FRIENDS. AND IT MAKES ME FEEL... I DON'T KNOW. *LOOKS AT CORY* IS THERE A WORD FOR THAT?
*CORY NODS*
RILEY: ...YOU'RE JEALOUS. BUT YOU'RE BILLY ROSS.
BILLY: PFFT. YEAH. I'M BILLY ROSS. JEALOUS OF YOU. JEALOUS OF HIM. BECAUSE THIS LITTLE GUY DOESN'T NEED TO HIT A BASEBALL TO HAVE FRIENDS. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE JEALOUSY TO YOU?
*RILEY JUST STARES AT HIM AND HE MOVES TO ASK FOR THE EXPO MARKER*
BILLY: LET ME SEE THAT. *GOES TO HAND IT TO FARKLE WHO THEN WRITES "JEALOUS" ACROSS BILLY'S FOREHEAD.*
RILEY: WELCOME TO THE TEAM.
BILLY: THANKS. GLAD TO BE HEAR:
CORY: WE'RE ALL HUMANBEINGS. WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM. AND IF WE SENSE OUR OWN FLAWS WHEN WE SEE THEM IN OTHERS, IT'S TRUE FRIENDS THAT HELP US WIPE THEM AWAY.
*HANDS RILEY A MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARING BABY WIPE AND SHE AND MAYA WIPE EACH OTHERS AWAY. THEN BILLY COMES UP TO GRAB ONE TO WIPE FARKLE'S AWAY.*
BILLY: I'M SORRY, FARKLE. ANY FRIEND OF LUCAS SHOULD BE A FRIEND OF MINE. *WIPES IT AWAY*
FARKLE: THANKS. DO YOU WANT ME TO GET RID OF YOURS?
BILLY: NO, I JUST GOT MINE. I THINK I BETTER TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT A BIT MORE.
*BILLY SITS DOWN AND FARKLE IMMEDIATELY JUMPS UP*
FARKLE: CAN WE DO THE HANDSHAKE?
BILLY: UH. DUDE. YOU THINK YOU'RE READY FOR THE HANDSHAKE?
FARKLE: I'M SO READY FOR THE HANDSHAKE.
*BRO HANDSHAKE TIME*
BILLY: ...WELL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
LUCAS: *WALKS UP TO CORY* MR. MATTHEWS.
CORY: MR. PERFECT.
LUCAS: WILL MY FRIEND BE ALRIGHT ?
*HARLEY (CORY'S FORMER BULLY) WALKS IN AND HANDS FARKLE BACK SOME TURTLE NECKS HE TRIED TO GIVE AWAY*
HARLEY: I BELIEVE THESE BELONG TO YOU.
FARKLE: THANKS, JANITOR HARLEY.
HARLEY: *STOPS BY CORY BEFORE LEAVING. GRIPS HIM BY THE SHOULDERS AND TURNS TO THE CLASS* THIS IS MR. MATTHEWS.
CORY: YEAH. PEOPLE CHANGE.
*FASTFORWARD TO JUST AFTER SCHOOL*
CORY: WELL, WE'VE GIVEN OUT OUR AWARD FOR CONFIDENCE. *FARKLE HOLDS UP HIS AWARD* COOL.
*MAYA HOLDS UP HER AWARD*
MAYA: SUP?
CORY: AND WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SCHOLAR ATHLETE.
LUCAS: *TURNS TO BILLY* JEALOUS?
BILLY: YEAH. BUT I'M WORKING ON IT.
MAYA: YOU OKAY, RILES? I KNOW GETTING AN AWARD WAS A BIG DEAL FOR YOU.
RILEY: I'M OKAY. REALLY.
CORY: AND NOW FOR OUR FINAL AWARD OF THE EVENING. THE JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SPIRIT AWARD GOES TO THE STUDENT WITH THE COURAGE TO STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN AND CHANGE US FOR THE BETTER. NOW, THE AWARD IS VOTED ON BY THE STUDENT BODY SO WE HAVE NO IDEA IN ADVANCE WHO WILL WIN.
*CORY OPENS THE ENVELOPE*
CORY: HUH.
*WALKS TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND LOOKS DIRECTLY AT RILEY, RUNNING A FINGER ACROSS HIS FOREHEAD.*
CORY: PROUD.
*TURNS IT AROUND FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THAT IT READS "RILEY MATTHEWS" (BUT IT'S INDISTINCT IN THE MEMORY)*
RILEY: MAYA. HOW DO I ACT COOL ABOUT THIS?
MAYA: YOU? JUST BE WHO YOU ARE.
RILEY *GETS UP AND THROWS HER ARMS OUT* YAY.
