01x18 - Happy Birthday

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "felicity"...

You found your birth mom?
Yeah, I cannot believe this.

I have been looking
for her for so long.

I'm not your mother.

There's been a mistake.

I never put a baby
up for adoption.

Last night...

Um...

I was with someone.

I slept with him.

I guess we are breaking up.

I guess so.

[Elevator dings, doors opens]

[Indistinct conversations]

I'm sorry. Don't touch
me, you guy scum!

Do you have to denigrate
me every time you see me?

Yes, I do! Do you
want to know why?

No, I know why. Because
felicity's your girl.

[Sighs] that's
right. She's my girl.

And don't give me that

"You both did something wrong"
crap, because you started it.

Not every guy is a jerk!

I didn't say every guy was
a jerk. I said you are a jerk.

Good. Good.

Well, get your last sh*ts in now
because I'm moving. Moving where?

Any place that accepts guy scum.

Excuse me.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Sighs deeply]

Do you know about noel?

Is this gonna be
another one of those

"He's guy scum" speeches?

I think he's leaving.

It looks like he's gonna quit
the r.a. Position and leave.

Wait a minute.

How do you know this?

I saw him. He told me.

He had the classifieds.

Felicity: dear sally...

Having never really broken
up with anyone before,

Let me ask you a question...

Is it normal to feel...

Schizophrenic?

I mean...

One second I feel...

Really sad, like, 100% sad.

And then I get
furious, you know,

At... At noel for what he did.

And then I get...

Totally guilty about
me for what I did.

[Clicks]

Hey.

Hi, sally.

Your... Your parents called.

Hmm. What did they say?

They left a message
confirming their arrival.

They did what?

They left a message
confirming their arrival.

What the hell exactly
did the message say?!

[Answering machine beeps]

Mother: meghan, we're just
confirming our arrival tomorrow at noon.

Okay. [Answering machine beeps]

Tomorrow at noon?!

I didn't invite them.

[Exhaling sharply] oh!

[Door slams]

[Up-tempo rock
music plays loudly]

You'll never hear me
asking to borrow a cd.

I'm gonna have to seriously
scavenge for dance music.

Oh, I know. How about, like,
ring dings or ho-hos or...

[Sarcastically] hey, do you think
maybe you could turn that up a bit?!

Elena: do you want
a dance lesson?

No, thanks. You know, that echoes
down the hall. It actually gets louder.

Is this a bad time?

No. Oh, we were, um, just...

We'll call you later.

Okay? Okay.

Um... What are you doing here?

Uh... This is for you.

It's a birthday present.

I wanted to give you something.

You came here to give
me a birthday present?

[Door closes]

And I also...[Sighs]

Wanted to give
you something else.

I wanted to give you the truth.

You came to see
me, and I did a...

A horrible, selfish thing.

You said that you
thought I was your mother...

And I denied it.

[Sighs]

I should have taken
you in my arms... And said,

"Of course I am."

[Exhales sharply]

How is this place gonna
function without you as an r.a.?

Well, I'm pretty sure
that when I leave,

The building won't collapse.

I mean, felicity's the one
that diddled this other guy.

She's the one that
should move, man.

Hi, yes.

I'm calling about your diddle...

I... No, your apartment.

Uh, has it been rented yet?

No? That's great. Can I
come take a look at it?

You're moving out

Because you and
felicity hit a rough patch.

That's great. I'll see you then.

Bye-bye. [Receiver hangs up]

That's extreme, man.

This isn't a rough
patch, all right?

This is... t*rture.

You know, every... Every...

Every time I turn a corner

Or I stand in line
at the cafeteria...

It's like I'm hoping
I don't see her...

You know?

And at the same time,
I'm hoping that I do.

I just feel like when I
left here with hannah,

I gave up the rights

To any commitment
that I have with felicity.

I'm gonna miss you, man.

Well, I'm gonna miss you, too.

[Paper rustles]

Ben: that is a very,
very nice dress.

It is, isn't it?

You know, I gotta say,

You don't seem that
nervous about this.

Oh, I guess I'm not
really nervous.

I'm just more... Excited.

Yeah. Is her whole family
gonna be there tonight?

No, it's just the two of us.

Good luck.

Oh, sorry, I was hearing.

Um... What are you doing?

Oh!

[Laughs]

Uh... I haven't named this
yet. It's for headaches.

I swear to god this works.

You get a headache,
you put this on, right?

It compresses the
head, relieving tension.

Only problem is...

To test it, you need a headache.

Well, I got something that
will help with your headache.

It's, uh...

The rent check.

Oh.

Partial rent check.

See, here's the thing... Um...

Dean & deluca isn't enough,
and I need to get another job,

And I'm gonna get one. I was
just hoping that I could, uh,

Pay the rest in a
couple of weeks.

You realize, of course, at
some point, I am going to say no.

I know. I know.

How did I become this guy's dad?

Well, if you were my dad,

You would have said no, so...

I think your headache
thing is a good idea.

[Sighs] I love this girl.

See? You know what?

I don't care how much
money you don't have.

You get her a substantial
birthday present.

Don't you dare spend any
money on me. I swear I'll return it.

I'm telling you... Nice gift.

[Trumpet plays in distance]

Oh, my... I'm...

I'm s... My fault,
sorry. Oh, my god.

[Indistinct conversations]

Hi. [Laughing] hi. Hello.

Um... I'm felicity.

Oh, hello.

I'm walter, meghan's
father, and this is faye.

We've heard so much about you.

Really?

[Chuckles] that's just, um...

From meghan, you...

[Sighing] okay, I'm ready.

[Laughing] oh, my god.

Oh. Oh. Felicity.

You met my parents?

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I
just met walter and faye.

Listen, felicity...

If you're available
for dinner tonight,

We'd love to have
you join. Oh, yeah.

I-i think felicity has plans.

You have that thing you
were telling me about.

Oh! Here.

I put my box on
your side of the room.

Your what? My box.

There was no more room
under my bed or in my closet.

If you open it and look
in it, I'll skewer you.

All right, no secrets, you two.

What are you talking
about? Wait, let me guess.

[Chuckling] how embarrassed you
are that your parents are here.

No, actually.

We're just, uh...
Talking about this.

Oh, what's that? Oh,
it's just my secret box.

No one's ever allowed
to look inside of it,

Including meghan.

I drive her crazy with it.

[Rattling]

Yeah, how nice that I completely
and totally respect your privacy.

And you know what
the funny thing is?

You probably wouldn't even care
less what's inside this stupid box

If I didn't keep taunting
you with it, you know?

[Chuckles nervously]

Well, we're off to the met.

Yeah, the museum.
Consider tonight.

Definitely. Thanks!

Okay. Meggy?

[Rattling]

[Door closes]

[Sighs deeply]

[Indistinct conversations]

Lynn: hey.

This looks good. Thanks.

Be careful. [Chuckles]

Hey, listen, um...

Do you want to play friday?

'Cause bernie can't
come in, and I was just...

Yeah, sure.

Excellent.

You gotta hear this one play.

Lynn.

Come friday night.
Little body... Big voice.

Lynn.

[Giggles nervously]

I'm leaving. Excuse me.

[Clears throat]

[Sighing] ah, anyway...

Um...

God, there's so much.

Um... When did you get married?

1986.

I... I was at risdy...

And my husband, tom, was...

Was just beginning
his internship.

I just... I can't
wait to meet him.

[Sighs]

[Indistinct conversations]

That's something I have
to talk to you about.

Julie, I'm here now
with you because...

I want you to know...

When I see the person
that you've become...

Seeing the person
that you are...

[Voice breaking] I am
so proud of you.

But this...

This just has to
stay between us.

[Indistinct
conversations continue]

I never told my husband...

That I had a baby before we met.

He doesn't know that
I'm here with you now...

And...

I just... I don't know if that's
something that I can tell him.

Do you understand?

Okay. [Exhales sharply]

[Elevator dings]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Elevator doors
close] oops. Hi. Hey.

[Both sigh]

I heard, uh, that
you might be moving.

Maybe.

[Elevator dings, doors open]

Excuse me.

[Elevator doors close]

We're not moving.

Yeah, you got to,
uh... [Clears throat]

Press the button.

Oh.

[Elevator dings, doors open]

I'll see you.

Yeah, I'll see you.

[Indistinct conversations]

Felicity: I almost
said something.

Elena: thank god you didn't.

Why?

Why? Where's your pride?

What does pride
have to do with it?

Listen to me...

What noel did to
you was so wrong,

And the fact that you're
working so hard to make this right

Really pisses me off.

Look, it's not like I'm
about to forgive him

Or just forget
everything he did.

I mean... And I hope
you understand this...

But it's not like what
happened with you and blair.

I mean, noel was honest with me.

He told me what happened.

Oh, so that makes
everything okay.

No, nothing's okay.

I have to find some
way to deal with this.

I know that.

But punching noel in the
nose just isn't the answer.

It might make you feel
really good, though.

[Chuckles softly]

Ben: so what she's
basically saying

Is that she wants
to keep you a secret.

Is that right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Why did she come
back, do you think?

Well, she told me
that she felt like

She owed it to me
to tell me the truth.

And that she didn't
like lying to me.

Yeah, but suddenly, she's
got a problem with lying?

I mean, she's been
doing it for years...

She's been doing it to
her family and her kids.

She just didn't tell
them, but I can understand

How it would be hard to bring
it up now, after all this time.

Yeah, well, then you're way
more understanding than I am.

Sean: I don't mean to
interrupt this moment.

I know it's really important.

I'm sorry, but...

Where the hell do I take chloe?

[Sighs deeply] oh, you got
a second date? That's great.

No, it's not great,
okay? It's a disaster.

I have this general
belief, okay?

First date... Good, you know?

Second date... Tragedy.

Come on, any ideas?

Good place for a bad date?

[Sighing] yeah, just
take her to shopsin's.

Oh, no, my friend. It's chloe.

Come on. It's gotta be
a nicer place than that.

Well, I think it'll go
better than you think.

No, it won't.

[Slow rock music plays]

No, no, no. Get the
ball out of his hands.

Aw, he sucks! Yes, it's a foul!

Ha ha. Do you believe this?

All right, all
right. Who's playing?

Uconn's up by 7.

He sinks it! Yes, baby!

Oh, you know what this means?

You're loud and obnoxious?

No, that your
friend just made 2 gs.

Two gs? Gs.

You mean thousands, gs?

Yeah, g's thousands,
c's hundreds.

Right. I'm sorry.

I gotta call my guy.

You have a guy?
You have a guy, too?

He's the man.

[Beeping] I made, like,
12 grand last season.

Shut up, man. 12 Grand?

No, no, no, you shut
up, because I'm rich,

And you're just
sitting there like a...

Barry.

What do you mean, "who dis?"

It's lynn.

I know. It's beautiful.

Pay me, pal, all right?

I'll see you in the morning.

[Music continues]

Tomorrow morning.
All right, bye.

Who's better than me?

I don't know.

I don't know, either.

[Clears throat] so
barry's your guy?

Barry's my guy.

I'll hook you up, man.

[Music continues]

No, man, I can't... I
don't think I can.

Nah, he can't do it.

Check out ben.
Nah, he can't do it.

[Sighs]

[Telephone ringing]

Yes. Yeah, that
elevation, I think,

Just needs a little more...
A little more attention.

Hi.

[Ringing continues]

Julie.

Um... Jeannie, these look fine.

Why don't you take them
in and show them to chris?

[Papers rustling,
ringing continues]

So, what's going on?

Sorry I didn't call. It's
just... I've been thinking...

Carol, morgan brody just
called. They can't make friday.

[Groans] see about tomorrow.

I'll check.

Hey. Hey.

Julie, I'm sorry. This just...

It's just really not
a very good time.

I know, but it's just...

What we were talking about...

The terms of our relationship.

[Ringing continues]

[Sighs deeply]

I really like the
clothes that you gave me.

I think they're...

Great, and you've
been really nice, but...

It just... It just
feels really weird

With how we left
things last night.

I mean, we finally get
to meet each other...

After all this time...

You know, and we... We
get along, and I mean...

We like each other,
and... It's the greatest...

Except [sighs]

Then you tell me that I
have to be kept a secret.

I'm sorry.

That's just the
way it has to be.

I just think that you
should think about it...

Think about telling
your husband.

That's... That's not possible.

So, tomorrow's great,

And you're confirmed for 4
at loconda saturday night.

Great. Thank you.

Um, I thought you were
okay with what we decided.

Yeah, I know I said that.

It just...

It just seems like you're
ashamed of me or something.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. It's...

God, it is just so much
more complicated than that.

Why?

Mom, are you coming or not?

Amanda, honey, will you go, um,

And wait for me in
my office, please?

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

What?

Coming back to see you,

I thought it would
make things better.

I just... I don't want
to be kept a secret.

Well, that's all that I
can offer you right now.

And if that's not acceptable...

I'm sorry.

[Sighs]

[Door slams] no, I mean, it
was... It was the entire series...

All those dancers just
glowing in the footlights.

It was so... Oh, hi, felicity.

Hi!

Faye: it was just so... How
did you say it, meghan?

I don't remember.

"Colorful," you said.

Four museums, two days.
I think that's my record.

[Chuckles] do you like art?

[Chuckles] felicity
likes artists, mummy.

Oh.

Um... I'll bet felicity
would like to see

Your new attire, dear.

I don't think she's interested.

Oh, I would love to
see your new attire.

Voilà.

Is that... Is that darling?

It is... It is so you, meggy.

Well, I think we should
really hang this up.

No, wait!

Um... The closet's really full.

Okay, whatever.

You know, felicity,

We would still love to
take you out to dinner.

How about tonight?

Wow, yeah, that could
be really fun, actually.

Don't you have that thing?

They canceled that thing, so...

How about it?

We can all unwind,

Get to know each
other a little better.

Um...

You know what?

Thank you, but, um, I
think I better study.

It's like meghan's
always telling me...

I mean, that's what
we're here for.

[Chuckles] but, uh...

You guys have fun.

It's a great dress.
It's colorful.

[Door opens, closes]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Elevator dings]
okay, here we go.

The top three are
directly on the point.

The rest seem like, you know,
they might be interesting.

You didn't read it?

Well, the reserve
room was closing,

So I just, you know, kind
of copied the articles,

And then thought
I would just, uh...

It's okay. He's not in there.

He's been out all day
apartment hunting. Hi.

Hey.

[Indistinct conversations]

Any luck?

Well, yeah, i, uh,

Found a great studio
on washington...

Uh, eat-in kitchen, rent
control, $680 a month,

First and last month's
rent, so that's great.

So, you... You found a place?

Looks like it, yeah.

Wow.

[Conversations continue]

Lynn: 'cause sprewell
with one bad ankle

Is better than starks
with two good ones.

Yeah. Is it 6? 6, Right?

Okay, $500 to cover. Ciao.

[Receiver hangs up]

Hey, come here.

What's the deal with that?

There's no deal.

You want some, you got some.

What is it, the knicks game?

Which I gotta say, is
looking really nice right now.

Hey, look, if you want
in, you got, like, 5 minutes.

I don't know. I don't
know if I can do it.

Yes, you do.

The question is how
wet you want to get.

All right, I'll put 100
bucks down on chicago.

I'll tell you what...
You take new york...

Kick in another $100,
and I'll cover you.

You sure? Sure, I'm sure.

You got new york minus 6.

All right, I'll do
it. I'll do it, just...

Please, just keep
quiet about it, okay?

[Loudly] I'll keep quiet
about your gambling! Lynn!

Man, I'm serious.

Please keep quiet
about it, please?

It's between me, you, and barry.

Okay. All right?

Hey... Let's make it $300.

I got faith.

[Sighs]

Announcer: when they come
off the double-team like that,

They don't have enough time to
get back outside to cover the net.

Kukoc at the line.

He's gotta convert one of these.

[Whistle blows]

No, he misses them both!

[Exhales sharply] that's
a big break for the knicks.

Now we have ward.
Knicks in good shape here.

Yo-yo-ing up and down.
Hey, how's your head?


He brings it down, drops it
off to ewing in the post. It's fine.

They're blocking on
ewing. Who's playing?

Hold on.

Swinging wide to sprewell.
Sprewell for 3 points.

No, he holds up... Off
the dribble... 3 Points!

Yes! Oh.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm very okay,

And if you don't
mind holding on to it,

I'd like to write you
a check, okay? Cool.

Here. Hey, the, uh...

The phone didn't ring while
I was in the shower, did it?

No.

Chloe was supposed
to pick a movie.

[Telephone rings]

[Beeps]

Hello.

Hi.

Yeah, i...

Oh.

Yeah, no, no, I'm fine.
Absolutely, we'll do...

You know what? We'll
do it in a couple days.

No, that's fine.

Yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.

[Sighing] okay.

Okay, so, I'll talk to you soon?

Okay. Bye.

[Beeps]

That was chloe?

Yeah, the computer-card
catalog crashed... Again,

So she has to, um...

She's gotta help the
reference librarian.

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry, man.

Oh, no, no, no. It's better.

It's better?

Yeah, yeah, it's better.

What did I say,
"second date," right?

[Chuckles] yeah.

[Sighing] ah.

Hi.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Dishes clattering]

I have to talk to you.

Look, you don't have to explain.

I understand.

That was your real
daughter, so whatever.

I'm sorry. That wasn't fair.

But when I tell you,
you'll understand.

Tell me what?

[Siren wails in
distance] I was 17.

He was the first
person I was ever with.

Then suddenly, I'm
about to have a baby.

I never told him. He never knew.

I went away that summer,
and when I came back...

I didn't want to see
him, and he was, um...

He was studying abroad
that year, anyway, so...

My parents were...
Were wonderful.

They were very supportive...

As long as I agreed
to give you up.

Which I did.

[Indistinct
conversations continue]

[Sighing] years later

After college and
after graduate school,

I ran into him
again, your father.

He'd really grown up.

I guess I had, too.

We started dating.

I married that man.

Your father is my husband.

You married him and you
never told him about me?

I wanted to.

I wanted to tell him right
away, but I don't know.

Julie, I was so...

I was just so afraid
of what he'd say.

I was ashamed...

That I'd listened to my
parents, and I'd given you up.

Okay, then I want to meet him.

[Sighs] julie, you can't.

I have to. I'm his daughter.

And your little
girl amanda, that's...

That's my sister.

Please try to understand this.

If he's gonna find
out the truth,

It has to be on my terms.

What about my terms?
What about what I'm thinking?

This is not just your life

That is being turned
upside-down here.

God, you know, I
can't believe you.

[Footsteps depart]

[Knock on door]

Yeah.

All right, what's
up with all the heat?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Well, then take a little
walk down to my room.

It's like living in a kiln!

My radiator's going crazy!

I'm sorry. I don't
know what to tell you.

Oh, this is so typical of you.

How about... "I'm
a responsible r.a.,

And I'll make sure
it gets fixed"?

What are these little
orange stickers?

[Sighs deeply]

"Resignation form"?

What is this?

You're quitting?

I'm moving, too.

You can't leave.

You're the r.a.!

No, I was the r.a.

Well, without you, who the
hell am I supposed to complain to?

I'm sure you'll find someone.

Yeah, but i-i like
complaining to you.

Look, I'm sorry about your heat,

But there's nothing I can do.

Everything with an
orange sticker's for sale.

[Sighs]

[Door closes]

[Scales playing on
piano in distance]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hi.

Hey!

God, I feel like I
haven't seen you in ages.

How are things with carol?

Um... It's still a little weird,

But can I talk to
you about this later?

Oh, yeah, sure.

You're still up for
tonight, though, right?

Definitely.

I just... I have to
go do something,

But I will see you later.

[Indistinct
conversations continue]

Do you have a moment?

Sure. Um...

We're concerned... Faye
and i... About meghan.

Uh-huh.

After talking the way
you did about your box,

Faye and I became
deeply curious.

My box?

I'm not proud of this...

But we were alone in
your room this morning...

And we looked inside.

You looked inside the box?

Would you like to explain?

Explain... Uh...
Wh-what's in the box?

We only have our daughter's
best interest at heart.

So, opening the box...

And seeing...

What we did...

You can understand our reaction.

Of course. It
m-must have been...

Shocking. Shocking, right.

We don't want this kind
of negative influence

On our daughter.

I'll throw it away.

I-i don't see how
you can do that.

I just want you to consider
what we just talked about.

And know that we know.

Okay.

Thanks.

[No audio]

[Sighs]

[Dialing]

[Ringing, receiver picks up]

Man: hello.

Hey, dad.

Oh, hi! Happy birthday.

Thanks.

We called earlier today.

You did?

Yeah, about an hour ago.

Oh, um...

So, were you in school?

Yeah, I was... I was out.

Um...

[Sighs deeply]

I was at the... The
library and stuff.

Oh.

[Receiver picks up]

Woman: happy birthday, sweetie.

Hey, mom.

Did you get your package?

Yeah, I got it.

Um... Thanks, you guys,
both so much for the...

The present...

And everything.

Mother: sweetheart...
Are you okay?

[Voice breaking] yeah, I'm fine.

So, are you celebrating tonight?

Yeah, my...

My, um, friends are gonna
throw a party at the dorm.

We miss you, honey.

Yeah, um...

I really miss you guys, too.

[Indistinct conversations]

I saw you were getting
rid of some of your stuff.

Yeah, i-i want to take
as little as possible.

It's probably a good idea.

Yeah.

[Conversations continue]

So...

When are you actually moving?

[Sighs deeply]

Well, it's available
starting thursday, so...

That's... That's soon.

Yeah.

[Paper rustling]

Well, have a really
good, um... Move.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Uh... I-i just want to say

On behalf of the entire
residential community here at,

You know, kelvin hall...

We're gonna miss you.

[Music continues]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Door closes]

Okay, this is
what I'm thinking...

[Sighs]

Don't go. And this is why...

If you leave, I mean,

It's just gonna...
Disrupt everything.

You're the...

You're sort of like the linchpin

Of this whole operation here.

You know, I mean,
you leave, and...

And richard is gonna
drive some other guy crazy.

And guy is just gonna
die of loneliness,

And lewis... [Exhales sharply]

I mean, he'll have
no one to admire.

And sensa and elena and...

And julie and... And me.

I mean, we... We
need you to stay.

You're a really good r.a.

[Music continues]

That's why I should stay?

No, of course not.

It's because...
This place is huge...

You know, and if you
move somewhere else...

Look, I don't know
what we are, or...

What we're gonna be or...

What we were or
even what we want.

I...

[Music continues]

There's something
unresolved here, you know?

And whatever the resolution,

If we decide to never talk again

Or just start over
and try one more time,

If you leave, we probably
won't resolve it at all.
