Previously on "felicity"...

I need a loan. I need this.

Oh, what are you...
Wiped clean? Yes.

Man, you don't put down money
unless you got some to spare.

Don't do this to yourself. Just
don't worry about me, all right?

I'll be fine. Get off me!

Ben! Ben!

[Indistinct shouting,
grunting, glass breaking]

I mean, whatever
we end up being,

I think we've got to start over

And just try and
become friends again.

Yeah.

Yeah, f-friends.

[Sighs deeply] dear sally,

Okay, remember that
manager I told you about, abby...

The one who never
looks me in the eye?

Well, she's going
away for a few days,

[Sighs] and she decided to put
me in charge while she's gone.

It's... It's kind of a test

Because there's this, um,
assistant-manager position open,

And she wants to
see if I can handle it.

But if I get the promotion,

I can come back in the
fall with a real raise,

[Sighs] which would be great.

So, tomorrow's my first day,

And I'm a little... Terrified.

I've never been a
manager before.

Hey! Ooh! Fancy.

Oh, yeah. Well, can you help
me with this tie? I can't do it.

I-i thought I knew how to do
it, and then, obviously I don't.

Yeah, just...

Um...

You know, I've never... I've never
done it from this angle before.

Okay, wait, um, stand
in front of the mirror.

Okay.

[Sighing] all right.

[Chuckles softly]

Um, yeah, there you go.

Does it... Does it look okay?

Uh, perfect... Very managerial.

[Laughing] thank you very much.

Oh, god, I'm late.
So, wish me luck.

You'll do great.

Yeah, I hope so. I'll...
I'll see you later. Okay.

[Door closes]

[Door opens]

This "just friends"
thing is really confusing.

I know. I know.

It kind of sucks, doesn't it?

Yep, it sucks.

[Up-tempo jazz music plays]

Hey, um... I need the
money. Can I work today?

Uh, you're not on
the... Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Can I
work today or not?

Yeah, of course. I'll... I'll figure
something out with the schedule.

Okay.

[Grunts]

Hi, danny.

So, one of the pie plates broke.

I was just wondering
where the bandages are.

Uh, check the first-aid kit.

Uh... Yeah, I can't find it.

Okay, see, danny, I gotta get
this tape register in here...

Oh, my god!

Yeah, sorry.

Um, let me just find
the, uh, first-aid kit. Oh...

It's, uh...

[Clanking]

Can you just keep that
down? The people are looking.

Just go put that under water

And... And... And... And just
put this on right away, okay?

Sorry. Okay.

Felicity, I'm leaving now.

This is all in your hands.

Great. Thank you.

I mean, I'm thrilled that,
uh, you trusted me enough

To give me this opportunity.

[Laughing] I actually...
I thought that maybe

You had hated me just a little.

Maybe I do.

You're young, perky,
and then there's the hair.

We're not here to talk
about your hair, felicity, okay?

Okay.

When I get back, if
everything's gone smoothly,

We can talk about the
assistant-manager position.

Great. I mean, I'm... I'm
really excited about this.

Good.

And I'm gonna need
you to fire danny.

Wait, what?

Shouldn't... I mean,
shouldn't you do that?

While I can, and
perhaps I should, I won't.

You will.

Good luck.

[Music stops]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hello?

Elena. Uh, I'm sorry.

Can I help you?

I was just dropping
off my outline.

You asked to see it.

Oh, right, right.

Fine, uh, well, just leave it.

I'll have a look,
and, uh, let you know.

[Sighs]

Are you all right?

Yes, thank you.

Are you sure?

Uh, it's been a tough week.

And on top of it,
stephanie's away till friday.

Your assistant?

Yeah. So I'm just a little
overwhelmed with paperwork.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

Well, if you're
available evenings,

I could use a hand. Uh...

M-maybe we can work something
out with, uh, extra credit.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

It would be a... A great
learning experience,

And I'd love to help.

I appreciate this, elena.

It's my pleasure.

I'll see you in class.

Mm-hmm.

[Guitar music plays]
[knock on door]

Barry: come on in!

Yeah. Yeah, e-eddie, I know
how much you love the mets.

Yeah.

Roscoe's ready to take 3,

But you gotta pay
$200 upfront for that.

[Laughs] yeah, thought so.

Okay. Okay. 100 Bucks... Mets.

See ya. [Phone beeps]

So, you're ben.

Yeah.

Pleasure to meet you. Right.

I'm glad you called back.

Yeah, I know. I owe
you a little money.

Not so little.

[Chuckles] yeah, well, I was thinking
if you could just spot me a little more,

I have some really good leads
on a couple of games this week.

I'm sure I could
work things out.

Yeah, I'm sure you could,
but the thing is, I can't do that.

I don't make that much myself,
so I don't have that much to spot.

Yeah.

But... There is a way
you could help me out

And maybe make some
extra money yourself.

Yeah, what's that?

You don't have to ask like that.

It's not like you're dealing
with the mafia or something.

I know that. I know. I know.
What do you want me to do?

All right, look... You're not the
only one with outstanding debts,

So maybe you could help me
get some of my money back.

Yeah, well, I'm... I'm not
gonna thr*aten anybody.

It's just the opposite.

I need friendly folks.

I have a question for you.

Do you know any of those people?

[Indistinct shouting]

[Sighs deeply]

Yeah. Yeah, I know a couple.

This guy lives in my
girlfriend's dorm.

Good. Sounds like we
can work things out.

[Elevator dings]

Oh, can you hold that?

Hey, you're, uh...
You're guy, right?

Right. Yeah, I'm ben.

Oh, yeah, you're, uh, you're
julie's boyfriend, right?

That's right.
Yeah, that's right.

How's it going, man?
Good. How you doing?

I'm doing all right.

Good.

So, we have a mutual friend.

We do? Who's that?

Barry over, at,
uh, frederick hall.

Are you gonna b*at me up?

No, it's not like that.

It's not. No, listen,
barry considers you

A really good buddy, you know?

He just... He just
asked me to come by

And check on you and see
how things are going for you.

You see, you gotta understand
that the money you owe him

Ends up coming out of his own
pocket when he has to pay the bets off,

So, guy, he's in a... He's
in a real bind. Really?

Yeah, he's covering you.

I never thought
about it like that.

Yeah.

I made some money, uh...
Washing dishes at kitchenette.

Kitchenette?

Yeah.

Um... How... How
much did you make?

I only have like,
uh, 30 bucks left.

I mean, that's... That's, like...
That's, like, all I got for, like, a week.

But I mean, i-i feel
bad about barry

Paying out of his own pocket.

I mean, he's a nice guy.

I mean, it's just all I have right
now, but I'm gonna get the rest.

[Sighs]

You know what?

Let's just... Let's
just forget it.

What about barry?

Screw barry.

[Piano playing in distance]

[Water running, indistinct
conversations, lockers banging]

Ready for that meet
against rutgers tomorrow?

Yeah.

We gotta pound those guys, man.

I mean, if you let people
from jersey win, it's like...

A defeat for human
decency, right?

I guess, yeah.

Listen... Us not talking...

It's stupid.

Well, we're talking right now.

You know what I mean.

I mean, since...
Our... Our tussle.

Whatever.

I just want to make
sure you're okay, bro.

Why wouldn't I be okay?

No reason.

Barry said you
haven't paid him yet.

I'm gonna pay him. I am.

I know.

Okay, so...

So, if you need any help...

I don't need any
help, all right?

Man: covington!

I'm outta here.

I need to talk to you.

I got a call from
the bursar's office.

They claim there's some kind
of screwup with your tuition.

They said they're gonna flag
you if it's not straightened out.

Uh, what do you mean, "flag" me?

It's a temporary suspension
until it's all paid up.

Listen, that has
got to be a mistake.

Well, you better go down there and clear it
up. We got rutgers, we got columbia coming up.

Yeah, yeah, really, it's... It's really
not a problem, so I'll figure it out.

All right, good. Hey, good
workout today. Okay? Great. Good.

Thanks. All right.

[Horns honking]

[Telephone ringing]

Now, we don't have any
assets or credit history.

I thought banks
had stuff like that.

By "we," I meant you.

Oh.

Listen, if I don't pay by next
week, I'm gonna get kicked out,

Which means, uh, no...
No swim team, and...

And no credit for any of the
classes I took this semester,

Which would be, you
know, really bad, obviously.

Yeah, I was thinking,
too, you know,

I'm gonna be working all summer.

So that means, you know, I could
pay off this loan by september.

So it's more of like a... It's more
of like a short-term advance.

[Sighs deeply]

You know what I mean?

I think that sounds
like a good plan for us.

You do? Absolutely.

An installment loan is a smart
way for us to pay off debt.

[Laughs] well,
that's... That's great.

Now if we can find someone
who has assets of their own

And a good credit
history to co-sign...

Oh.

Maybe our parents would
be willing to co-sign?

No.

How about one of our
older, more settled friends?

I'll do it.

Yeah, I'll co-sign.

You will? Absolutely.

No, that's amazing. No,
mentors are important.

I had a mentor help me get started
with my own business ventures.

It was more like a tutor,
actually... Who I paid.

But, still, it's, you know...

Sean, you have no idea how much
I appreciate this. Really, I mean...

[Door closes] it's
my pleasure to do it.

No, but i... Hey! There you
are. You weren't in class.

No, I wasn't. I had, uh, I had a
couple things I had to do, so...

Oh. Oh, am I
interrupting something?

Uh, no, actually.
Ben just asked me...

I was just... I was asking
if he wanted to, uh,

I was asking if he wanted to
come to the library with me.

Oh, is chloe working today?

Yeah.

So, I got an "a" on my
psych paper today.

Wow, that's...
Congratulations. That's great.

Thank you. I'm gonna go and call my
parents. They're gonna flip out. Yeah.

[Footsteps depart] you haven't
told julie about your money...

Shh! She doesn't need
to know everything,

And she would just
worry about it, so...

Yeah.

[Horns honking in distance]

Yeah, I guess.

[Accordion music plays] I can't
believe you're working with mcgrath.

T-that's not intimidating?

At first it was,
I mean, a little.

He seemed really upset when I
saw him in his office yesterday.

It's weird seeing your
professor... Emotional.

He probably just
read my outline.

Stop.

So, now that you're manager,

Will you start
giving me free coffee?

It's assistant manager,

And she hasn't officially
promoted me yet, so...

Fine, take my money as usual.

[Chuckles]

Um... Here's danny...
Late, of course.

Is this the guy you're
supposed to fire?

Mm-hmm.

Hi.

Sorry about being late.

Morning's when I do my
volunteer work... At the orphanage.

The orphanage?

Yeah.

[Clattering] ooh. Sorry.

Ow, sorry.

You've got to be kidding me.

The orphanage? This
dude is working you.

What, you think he's lying?

Of course he's lying.

[Trumpet playing jazz music]

[Hissing] ohh!

Richard.

Oh, man!

What's going on?

Hot! It's so hot!

Dehydration... Hallucinations.

Mother?

Is your heater on again,

Because I called the guy
weeks ago. He never showed up?

No, he showed up. He fixed it,
and then I woke up this morning,

My room's filled
with steam, man.

It's hard to breathe.

I'm... I'm... I...

Okay, just... Just calm down.

Um, I'll call the maintenance
guy again, all right?

Uh, you should probably stay
somewhere else until it's fixed, though.

Where am I gonna go?

Just stay with friends.

Come on, you gotta have
other friends besides me.

Fine, okay, you can stay with me

Until your heater's
fixed, all right?

Just please put some
clothes on, all right?

Ben: we're gonna get this.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I gotta say this is really
cool of you, man. Come on.

No, I just... You have no idea how much
my life would be screwed up right now

If you hadn't have
done this, so... Thank you.

[Chuckles] don't worry about it.

Hey, nameplates, right?

Right.

Simple nameplate... It could
be so much more interesting.

You could put the
guy's picture here.

Yeah. You know,
different surfaces.

Different... Okay.

Hi.

So, we all set?

No, actually, we're not.

I'm afraid we have
some credit issues.

We?

He means you.

Me? [Chuckles] no, no, come
on, there must be some mistake.

See, I don't have
a credit problem.

There's something here

About a debt to a
furman dough company.

Oh, yeah, uh, that's one
of my business ventures.

Uh, imagine, if you
will, bagel knobs.

Right? Like doughnut
holes, but bagel holes.

Like, bite-size, and you could
inject, uh, fillings into them

Like cream cheese,
butter, uh, lox spread.

Yeah?

Well, anyway, as
you can well imagine,

That's gonna be a
big, huge, uh, item.

So I'll have money to
pay off furman dough.

Well, until it's
straightened out,

I'm afraid we can't help you.

Okay. Well, I have other projects,
all of which are moneymakers.

I'm sure they are, but I
really don't have the time.

Okay, okay, could you just
hold on for one second?

I really... I need this loan.

I'm sorry.

So what do you...
What, that's it?

Ben, come on.

Look, what am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry.

You're not sorry.
Don't say you're sorry.

Ben, come on.

[Sighs deeply]

It's gonna be all right, ben.

I really... I'm not so sure.

[Jazz piano music plays] thanks.

Danny, that was a
pretty long lunch.

I-i think I'm getting
an infection.

We need to talk.

Yeah.

I, uh, I can't come
in on saturday

'Cause I've got a
doctor's appointment.

On saturday?

He's a specialist.

I think he's gonna drain it.
There's a lot of fluid under the...

Okay, listen. [Sighs]

Danny, um... I'm really sorry...

Sorry about this,

But... I'm gonna
have to let you go.

Let me go where?

Out... You know, out
there. I'm f*ring you.

That's not a good thing.

I'm really sorry.

I'm really sorry,
danny, but I just...

Things aren't
really working out.

Wow.

Sorry.

No, oh, god, you don't
have to apologize.

I should have seen it coming.

Well...

Good luck.

You too.

I'll need it.

[Door opens]

Richard. [Door closes]

Hey, roomie.

No, don't call me "roomie."

What's that?

Your mail... You
left it lying around.

No, richard, you can't just...

Noel, this letter is offering
you a summer internship in berlin.

Give me that.

Wow!

I-i didn't think I had a chance.

What's felicity
gonna say about this?

I seem to remember you two

Talking about spending some
time together this summer.

Well, that was
before we broke up.

Yeah, just friends. Right.

No, we're starting over.

You know, it's all about, uh,
foundations and... And rebuilding.

What's that supposed to mean?

I have no idea.

Look, man...

This is your perfect opportunity

To find out her true feelings.

What, uh, what are
you talking about?

You go up to her.

You say, "so, I got that
summer internship in berlin."

And in that split-second
before she can react,

You'll be able to
read it on her face.

If she looks happy,
then, you know,

It's over, she's
done, she's moved on.

But if she looks upset...

Then she's still in
love with you, my friend.

[Sighs]

No, I'm... I'm not gonna
test felicity like that.

All right.

Don't you ever have class?

Moving rooms is very stressful.

I need some downtime.

Well, you know what? Go get
it somewhere else, all right,

Because I have studying to do.

And if you ever
read my mail again,

You're going back in the hotbox.

Ben: yeah. No. No, great.

Everything's going
really good. Yeah.

How about you,
mom? You doing okay?

Good. Listen, um, can I
call you a little later?

I'm just... I'm just
kind of on my way out.

Yeah. No. I promise.

Everything is
really good. Really.

Okay. Yeah, I love you, too.

All right. Bye.

[Beep]

I went through

And cross-referenced
these by date and topic.

I thought that might be easier.

This is very helpful.

Thank you.

I also printed up a list of
commands that you can use

To navigate those internet
sites if you ever want to explore.

I think I'm a little too
traditional for that.

I still prefer the library.

Have you been to the public
library since the renovation?

Not yet.

It's amazing.

Did you take any time off
before you started school?

Why?

Well, i-i deal with
a lot of freshman,

And you just
seem a little older.

My mother d*ed of cancer
when I was pretty young.

I had to learn to
take care of myself.

I see.

Yesterday... When I walked
in and you were here...

[Voice breaking] I had just found
out that my ex-wife has lymphoma.

I'm really s-sorry.

I am too.

[Paper rustling]

[Metal clattering]

Uh, I didn't know you were here.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What are you...
What are you doing?

[Sighs repeatedly]

I...

I was putting sean's watch back.

All right, I took it last
night when nobody was here,

And I was gonna sell it.

What?

I was gonna take it down to
that pawn shop on 7th avenue

Where I got your guitar,
and I was gonna sell it.

I know, all right? I
know I'm disgusting.

Why... Why don't you ask
your parents for help?

'Cause I'm not gonna do that.

I'm not gonna give my
dad the satisfaction.

What about your
mom? 'Cause she...


Can you just stop?! Just stop 'cause
you have no idea what you're talking about.

[Door opens, keys jingling]

Hey. What's going on?

You should tell him what I
did, okay, 'cause he should know.

[Door closes]

Richard: noel?

[Sleepily] yeah?

You awake yet?

I'm trying.

Did you tell felicity...
About the internship?

Richard...

How come you didn't tell her?

[Sighs deeply]

The thing is... What
if she doesn't care?

But wouldn't you rather
know sooner than later?

Yeah, I guess so.

I think we should consider
becoming roommates next year.

This is working out real well.

Don't you think?

Noel?

Buddy?

[Slow piano music plays,
coffee machine whirring]

Can i, uh, speak to
the manager please?

[Laughing] hey.

Hey.

So, I found out some kind
of interesting news today.

Yeah, what?

Just some... Some
news in... In the mail.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I wasn't really
expecting anything

Until I got to this
one letter, um...

And I opened it.

Here you go.

Woman: thanks.

Yeah?

Well, it... It, uh, turns out

That I got that summer
internship in berlin.

Wow, that's... That's great!

I mean... Congratulations.

Thank you.

What? Why are you
looking at me that way?

What way?

I don't know... Weird.

Oh, god, what's he doing here?

Abby doesn't do the
schedule like this.

Um... I'll...

I'll see you later?

Definitely.

Danny, what are you doing here?

Well, I got home last night,

And I thought about it.

And I decided...
You can't fire me.

You're not the real boss of me.

Dr. Mcgrath: really?

No to charlie parker?

I didn't say no.

I can't give up on this one.

[Laughs]

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Hi, sweetheart.

No, I sent something
out yesterday.

Well, it should
get there by friday.

All right, if... If it doesn't
get there by tomorrow...

Just let me know,

And we'll, uh, we'll
figure something out.

Bye, sweetie.

My daughter.

Really? How old?

13 On friday.

She thought I'd forgotten
to send her a birthday present.

Well, since stephanie's
coming back tomorrow,

I wanted to make sure that
I thanked you for your help.

She's gonna be very impressed
with your filing system.

It's simple stuff, um...

[Chuckles softly]

So...

I'll see you in class, then?

Right.

Would you like to go
out to dinner sometime?

Oh.

You know, I'm very flattered,

But I just don't think
that's a good idea.

Oh, sure, i-i understand.

I... I'll see you in class.

[Scraping]

Danny... Why don't
you just pick it up?

Oh.

[Telephone rings]

[Beeps]

Dean & deluca?

Felicity? Hey.

Is ben there?

Uh, he was, but he left
early. Are you okay?

I don't know, exactly. I'm at
the bar, and I guess he was here,

And he got in an
argument with some guy.

And lynn heard the
guy call his frat buddies,

And he was all pissed off.

And, I don't know, he
thinks that those frat guys

Might do something to ben.

And he's not at the loft?

No, but sean's there waiting
just in case he comes back.

And lynn just went
out looking for him,

And I feel like I
should go look, too,

But I don't want to
go alone, you know?

I'll be right there.

[Sighs] thank you.

Danny, I need to
ask you a big favor.

What is it?

Well, I need you to
close out for me...

Finish doing the receipts, set the alarm,
and lock the doors. Can you do that?

Um...

No.

Danny, please,
it's an emergency.

And... And I just... I
know you can do it.

Is that a "yes"?

Thank you so much.

[Keys jingling]

Sorry, man.

[Grunting]

[Coughing]

[Sighs]

Well, thank you for
helping us look for ben.

Yeah.

He's gonna show up
at the loft soon, right?

Yeah, he'll be okay.

He's probably just
wandering around the city

Clearing his head, so...

Yeah, I hope so.

Yeah.

Well, let me know, okay? I
mean, no matter what time it is.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Going... Beyond
friendship is, uh...

Yeah, we could
both really get hurt.

Yeah.

Friends can kiss, right?

Absolutely.

[Door opens]

Where have you been?
I was worried sick!

Oh, we were just, uh...

Wait. Don't you have
class in the morning?

I'm sorry if we woke you up.

Yeah.

Are you coming in or what?

[Chuckling] I'm sorry about him.

That's okay. I, um...

I should really go
see if julie called.

Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

[Footsteps depart]

Julie did call, but she
hasn't heard from him.

Neither has elena
or sean or lynn.

It's 7:00 a.m. Now, and no
one knows where he is.

Julie even called the police,

But they said you
have to wait 48 hours

Before reporting
a missing person,

So now we're all just waiting.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Horns honking]

Good morning, dean &
deluca, may I help you?

[Salsa music plays]

We open at 8:00.
Have a nice day.

[Phone beeps]

What are you doing
here and in that outfit?

Abby came back early.

She got in last
night after you left.

She promoted me...
To assistant manager.

What?!

Felicity, I'm trying to think of
something more irresponsible

Than how you handled
locking up last night,

But I can't.

I...

And as disappointed
as I was in you,

I was that impressed with danny.

I was gonna fire you,

But he convinced me that I
was reacting emotionally.

You should thank him.

Danny, um...

[Door opens]

Oh.

Good morning, sister.

Good morning. Danny, I just
wanted to bring you this.

It's a gift from the children

To thank you for
your volunteer work.

Thank you.

Come in, won't you?

He's like an angel.

[Indistinct conversations]

Elena?

Yes?

You got a minute?

Yeah, i-i-i do.

Well, I was thinking about
your question last night

About dinner.

Yeah, I'm... I'm really
sorry. I know...

I thought about it.

And, um, I think
it's a good idea.

You do?

Yes, I do... If the
offer's still good.

Yeah, the offer's still good.

Felicity: when I went
to bed last night,

There had still been
no word from ben.

It had been almost 24 hours.

[Knock on door]

[Sighs deeply]

Oh, my god!

Are you okay?

Can I come in?

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sighs]

Have... Have you called
julie or... Or sean yet?

I'm sure those guys don't
want to talk to me right now.

And, uh, I don't... I don't
really blame them.

You're wrong.

You should go back there.

I will, I just... [Sighs]

Can I hang out here
for a little while?

Of course.

[Bed squeaks]

[Sniffs, sighs]

Lately, um...

Lately, I'm noticing that...

I'm actually
turning into my dad.

I'm just a guy
that gets in a fight

Every time I get pissed off.

Do your parents
know what's going on?

No.

I mean, my dad hasn't
called me in months.

My mom... She calls all the
time now that she left him.

Have you told her...

I mean, that you need
to borrow money?

No.

I can't.

I-i don't understand.

She finally left my dad
and has a chance to be happy

For the first time
in her life ever.

I know that if she knew
what was going on here,

She would be so worried.

I've screwed up her life enough.

Maybe you should let her worry.

I mean, maybe that's
not such a bad thing.

I mean... They're
still your parents.

Maybe you should let
your mom be your mom.

Let her take care of you.

Let her worry about you.

I don't know.

I don't know.
