05x14 - Heartbreak Cory

[bunniefuu]

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

All right, everyone. The bus
will be here in a few minutes.

Now, remember, even though this
ski trip is about having fun,

we live in a land of laws
which must be obeyed

if this society
is to survive.

In other words,
I'll be watching you two.

All I heard was "fun."

(LAUGHS)

It's our first romantic
weekend away with the girls.

And the school's
picking up the tab.

Okay. I was able to obtain a
blueprint of the ski lodge.

Our room is here.
The girls' room is here.

Feeny's room is
right in the middle.

Huh! He's a sly one.

At precisely : a.m.

you will sneak from our room to
Feeny's door to check for snoring.

Rhythmic
or intermittent?

Rhythmic! I told you rhythmic!
Am I alone in this?

Okay, okay, rhythmic
snoring confirmed.

Then I proceed to sneak
over to the girls' room,

and I tell Angela that you're
dreaming and calling out her name.

She then walks
down the hallway,

past a snoring Feeny,
to your room.

While you're
with Angela,

I'm gonna be busy keeping Topanga
occupied until Angela returns.

Many hours later.

You know, maybe we should tell the
girls about our top-secret plans,

you know, so we don't
spring it on them.

What? No, no, no, no, no.
Cory, Cory, Cory.

You are so naive.

The women want to
come to our room.

They just need
some lame excuse,

and we are just the guys
to give it to them.

I love skiing.

Look at those two.

You know what they're
planning, don't you?

Yeah, the midnight switch.
You gotta love the effort.

Yeah, it looks like
they're working hard, too.

(INDISTINCT)

I see diagrams.

You know,
the humane thing to do

would be to tell them
they don't have a prayer.

Oh, sure.

But the fun thing
to do is...

BOTH: We love you.

Never gonna happen.

All right, everyone.
The bus is here.

Now, remember, I don't
want another incident

like last year's fiasco
in the Amish country.

Why is everyone
looking at me?

Someone's planning
a romantic weekend, huh?

Well, it is a weekend
without our parents,

so you can't blame me
for thinking about it.

I'm thinking
about it, too.

Really?

Yeah.

But it might be
more romantic

if you talked to me about our
weekend plans instead of Shawn.

Okay. That could be.
That could be.

We start by tipping the guy so he
stops the ski lift at around sunset.

Uh-huh.

And then there's no one around
to keep you warm except me.

I get so cold.

And what do you do?

And what do you do?

Well, I'd put you in front of the
fireplace, and we'd do some of this,

and we'd drink hot chocolate
and do some of this.

You see how we like
all the same things, Cory?

Yeah. Listen...

Let's never get off
the couch, okay?

Well, that doesn't leave us
a lot of time for skiing.

Oh! There's plenty
of time to ski.

We're gonna be together
for the rest of our lives.

Ow! It's broken!

It's broken
in seven places!

Give me cc's of St. Joseph's
Chewable Aspirin, stat!

The slopes are treacherous.

He fell getting
off the bus.

Those buses
are treacherous.

Hmm.

(CORY GRUNTING)

Well, I don't think
anything's broken.

It's probably
just a mild sprain.

Embellish it
for my friends.

I'll have the doctor come
and embellish it for you.

My guess is, you'll
live but you won't ski.

Sorry.

Well, there goes our
senior ski weekend, huh?

No, Cory, we can have
a great weekend here together.

We can sit here while everybody
else is out playing in the snow

and skiing and having fun,

and we can talk about how much
fun they're having without us.

Go ski.
Thank you.

No, go ahead. Go.

Shawn never
would've left me.

Hey, Cory, get
your foot out of...

(GROANS)

Ski injury. I hit a little
ice patch on Devil's Run.

Devil's Run
is closed this weekend.

Then what I did was insane.

So, how about some hot
chocolate, insane person?

Well, I'd get you some,
but my foot really hurts.

No, I'll get it for us.
It's part of my job.

This must be a great
place to work.

Yeah, but during the day
it gets a little quiet

'cause everyone's out on the
hill and I'm stuck inside.

Well, I guess today
you're stuck with me.

I've been stuck
with worse.

Thanks.

Do you play
backgammon?

My middle name
is backgammon.

What's your first name?

Cory.

Mine's Lauren.

We spent two hours
on a jigsaw puzzle,

and half the pieces
are missing?

Yeah, these idiots keep putting the
money into the snow-making equipment

and completely skimp
on the puzzle budget.

How do they
stay in business?

You know, you can
still see the picture

if you use a little
imagination.

Yeah, there's a curly-haired
kid falling off a bus.

And a cute mountain girl
coming to his rescue.

Cory, I had
so much fun.

I got on the wrong lift,

and wound up doing six runs
with the Olympic team.

Good for you.
No, but the best part is

I think I'm gonna be
in a ChapStick commercial.

Good for you.

I'm sorry, Cory,
you must be so bored.

Ok, I'll change out of my ski
suit, and when I get back,

we'll spend the rest of
the night together, okay?

Looks like you'll
be in good hands.

Here. Your own piece
of the mountain.

Keep it
as a souvenir.

Lauren.

Thanks. It's been the best day with a
mildly sprained ankle I've ever had.

Well, somebody's
got a crush.

Lauren's just being
nice, that's all. Cory.

You think I don't know you
better than anybody?

Shawn, Lauren's being nice to
me because it's her job. Okay?

As a matter of fact,
after today,

I'm not planning on spending
any more time with her.

Cory, you think I don't know
you better than anybody?

Okay, Topanga,
it's your turn.

If you could change
your mate into one animal,

what pet would
it be and why?

Please,
nothing fuzzy-wuzzy.

A falcon.
Yes!

A falcon, the hunter of
all that is fuzzy-wuzzy.

No, a falcon, because I want you
to be free to soar majestically

as long as I know that you'll
always come back to me.

If I ever get
like that, k*ll me.

I would have to.

Hey, Lauren!
Why don't you join us?

No, Lauren's probably
got better things to do.

Oh, no. Yes,
please come join us.

We could use someone whose
answers aren't so pukey.

You know,
I could take you.

You don't wanna
dance with me, girl.

You don't see me
running, do you?

Bring it on, Topanga.
Oh, it's on.

All right, chick fight!
Move the table.

Ready?
Ready!

Oh, no!
Help!

CORY: Stop, stop, stop.

You guys look comfortable
enough without me.

No, no, no, come on,
let's keep playing.

You can ask the next question.
Cory's up.

(EXHALES)

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
Because I'm hot, okay?

So I can't be the only one
who's hot, so who's hot?

Well, maybe you're sitting
too close to the fire.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Why would you say that?
I can't believe you said that.

Okay.

If you had an affair,

(SCREAMS)

do you think the guilt
would change your behavior?

Where do they
come up with that?

Why, I mean, that is
such a crazy question.

I mean, why would they
ask me that question?

Me? The falcon!

I mean, everyone
knows that falcons

are notoriously
monogamous birds.

I mean, it's just so crazy.
I can't believe it.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Oh, wow!

Oh, now I'm exhausted.

Me, too.
I'm going to bed.

Well, I'm right
behind you.

I mean, I'm going to my room.
Right? That's where I'm going?

Right. That's where
you're going.

Right. Right.
I'll be in my room.

Reading.

The Bible.

Wait, I'm not tired.
Who wants to see a movie?

Then, Cory, you can stay up,
but don't stay up too late

because I want
my Cory falcon

flying down the slopes
with me tomorrow, okay?

Good night.
Good night, Lauren.

Good night.

Well, I better
get some sleep, too.

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm just gonna sit here,
let the fire die down

and watch the moon rise
over the mountains.

Sounds nice.

I've never done anything like that
before 'cause I'm from the city.

And in the city we don't see that many
stars because of what they call...

Ambient light.

Right. Ambient light.

I was raised
in the city, too.

Philadelphia?

Mmm-mmm. New York.

But we moved
when I was .

I thought I'd hate
living in the mountains,

but now I wouldn't
live anywhere else.

Well, I'm from the city. I could
only live in the city, you know.

Couldn't live without
that ambient light.

In fact, I don't want
to see anything in the sky.

Look.
Okay.

Wow, there's so many
stars up there.

It's so beautiful.

You were distracted
by the city lights.

The fire's going out.

Should I throw
another log on it?

(INAUDIBLE)

So the next thing I know,
I'm jumping out of a plane.

My dad and brother
are scared to death...

Wait,

you can jump off a plane,
but you can't get off a bus?

Well, I'm an
ironic kind of guy.

I like that.

And I like the way you're really
interested in what I'm saying.

Well, you're easy
to listen to.

And I do think
you're interesting.

You're the most interesting
cute mountain girl

who's ever rescued me.

See?

You do listen.

Thanks for pointing out all this
natural beauty of everything

(FOOTSTEPS PATTERING)

around me.

How you doing?

Mr. Feeny.

What are you
doing up this late?

Au contraire, Mr. Matthews.

I am up with the sun,
ready to make first tracks.

But I'm quite surprised
to see you up this early.

Cory.

Lauren.

(CHUCKLES)

It's morning.

So, Lauren, I had a nice
time talking to you.

So did I.

I like you, Cory.

Yeah, I like you, too.

But we can't do anything
about that, can we?

No.

So, guess I should
get ready for work.

Well, I'm ready.

Lauren.

We could be friends.

Hey, your ankle's better.

So I guess
you'll be skiing today.

Yeah, that's what I
came up here for. Yeah.

I mean, you wouldn't want to
stay inside on your last day.

Have fun.
Don't get hurt.

All night?

Nothing happened, Shawn.
We were just talking.

All night?

Good morning, Cory.
How's your ankle feeling?

It's confused.

What?

I mean, it's bothering me,

and it's not bothering me.
I don't know what I should do.

If it's bothering you at all,
then you should stay off of it.

Yeah, it's bothering me.

Hey! I saw you with Lauren.
Your ankle's fine.

You lied to Topanga!

I didn't do anything.

You lied to Topanga!

Shawn, all we did was talk.

All you did was talk?

That's it.

No kissy?
Just talky.

Well, are you gonna
tell Topanga?

Why would I tell
Topanga about something

that's not gonna
turn into anything?

If it's not gonna
turn into anything,

then how come you lied
about your ankle?

Listen, I've been with
Topanga forever. Okay?

I don't want to have
feelings for another girl.

I can't have feelings
for another girl.

Lauren will
understand that.

Sure, she will.

Everything's fine.

You don't have
a problem at all.

Read the Bible!

Yes, sir,
may I help you?

I don't wanna have
feelings for another girl.

Neither do I.

Why aren't you skiing?

I can't have feelings
for another girl.

You understand
that, right?

I understand it. And I respect it.
Why aren't you skiing?

Because I need to make sure we understand
that last night didn't mean anything.

Does Topanga know
you're here?

No, I told her my
ankle was still sore.

So you lied to your girlfriend because
last night didn't mean anything.

I lied to my girlfriend because
I don't want to hurt her.

And I don't know
what last night meant.

Cory, you know
in that game, they ask,

"If you could describe your
perfect mate, who would it be?"

Well, I've always
known the answer.

Please don't do this.

It wasn't you.

Oh!

I'm trying to say,
I wasn't expecting you.

But sometimes people
take you by surprise.

Surprise.

Good. Well, I'm glad
we cleared this up.

You kissed her?

What am I gonna do?

Well, I'll tell you what
you're not gonna do, Cory.

You are not gonna tell
Topanga, you understand me?

I know women, Cor,

and I know she'll forgive
you for talking to Lauren,

and I know she'll even
forgive you for lying to her

because you
never have before,

but she will never ever forgive
you for kissing another girl.

Don't tell her,
Cor. Don't.

I want this whole thing
never to have happened.

Well, it's too late
for that.

Hi, Topanga.
Hi, Cory.

You're back
on your feet.

Do you wanna ski a few runs with me
before they close the ski lifts?

We need to talk.

Okay.

Honesty's the most important
thing in a relationship.

And you mean everything to me,
so I want to be honest with you.

I lied about my ankle today
so I could stay at the lodge.

Why would you want
to stay at the lodge?

Well, I met an interesting
person that I liked talking to.

Lauren.

You lied to me so you can
spend time with another girl?

See, after you went
to bed last night,

we spent the whole
night talking.

And this morning I told her
it didn't mean anything.

You lied to me?

I'm sorry.

I'd rather break my ankle into
, pieces than cause you pain.

I'm never gonna
lie to you again.

Cory, it's okay for you to
talk to an interesting person,

but it's not okay
that you lied to me.

I know.

I shouldn't lie to someone
I love more than anything.

I love you, too.

(SIGHS)

(MOUTHING)

Did anything else
happen between you?

(MOUTHING)

What? I'm sorry. What?

Did anything else
happen between you?

No. Nothing.

Be sure and tell your friends
about the Mount Sun Lodge!

They make me say that.

It was nice
meeting you, Lauren.

Listen, I don't want
to cause any trouble

between you and
your girlfriend.

You don't
have to apologize.

I wasn't going to.

You ran off
before we could talk.

I said I like you, Cory, and I meant it.
I don't want to ignore that.

Well, it's all
in this letter.

I hope you'll read it.

Are we ready?

I gotta go.

Hi.
Hi.

Can I sit next
to you on the bus?

You better.

Let's talk all the
way home, okay?

I'd love that.

Good.

I'll just put this
stuff on the bus.
