01x22 - Felicity Was Here

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "felicity"...

What, you don't want
me to go on the trip?

No, I think you should come. You
think I should or you want me to?

Maybe taking a
break is a good idea.

Listen, I never said
anything about breaking up.

It's a little tricky, huh, not
using those exact words?

If I go on the road trip, I
can't do the berlin internship.

I realized I have to
go, to, uh, to berlin.

Say you will.

Come with me.

Do you think I should?

Yeah.

[Ravel's "boléro" plays]

Dear sally,

Okay, so I've been
thinking about it...

That moment I had with ben...

And I've come to the conclusion

That obviously it
was all in my mind,

Or at least mostly.

[Music continues]

I'm sorry.

What?

You're staring.

We're busy, and you're staring.

You should be stacking,
but instead, you're staring.

Sorry.

I-it's just part of my job
to tell you things like that,

Because I am the
assistant manager.

I know. You're
right. You're right.

[Indistinct voices]

I'm not doing a great job, am i?

I mean, good, but not great.

Danny, you're doing
an excellent job.

Okay.

You are the sweetest.

I hope you do come back
here to work next year.

Me too.

[Music continues]

I mean, it seemed
like ben and I had

An almost-kiss moment,

Like meghan's stupid love
spell had actually worked.

But what it was, I'm sure,
was just a nothing moment

That I perceived
as something else.

Anyway, whatever it was,
it's had the strangest effect.

It reminded me of... Of
why I made the decision

To come to new york
in the first place,

Of what it felt
like in high school,

Of what I used to feel for ben.

But it was nothing,
which is a good thing,

Because if it had
been an actual,

Genuine almost-kiss moment,

Life would get
really complicated.

Okay, what the hell was that?

What?

Did you and I almost kiss?

I don't know. Did we?

I think we did.

[Clears throat] I'm sorry, ben.

Lori needs to see
you in the stockroom.

Okay. I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I really like your haircut.

Oh, thanks, danny.

Yeah.

[Sighs] this could get
really complicated.

Yeah.

[Tape recorder clicks,
horn blares in distance]

Sally, is it just me,

Or did this year go
by faster than ever?

I mean, it actually seems
like time is speeding up.

[Instrumental music plays]

Lately I've been getting
up earlier every day.

I don't know why.

I guess it's the excitement

Of the end of the
year or something.

I've only got a few days left.

[Music continues]

I started to pack up my stuff.

Anyway, in my closet, I
found this thing on the wall.

It's a list of all the people

Who lived in this
room before me.

It went back to 1968.

Randall clark...

Melissa stone...

Keith bradshire...

Patty tagliabue... I
mean, these names,

These... These people
I've never heard of.

And i-i just started
wondering, you know...

I wondered where they
are today, you know?

How much they remember
of their freshman year.

I wondered if
they're all still alive.

Breaking up sucks.

Yeah.

[Indistinct voices]

Are you still coming to
epstein bar on saturday?

Definitely. Yeah.

Good. Thank you.

By the way, you know, um...

I'm thinking maybe I
shouldn't even go with ben.

Why?

Don't not go on account of me.

I mean, actually, you can't
not go on account of me,

Because I was gonna
ask you a favor.

What?

Guys don't give the "I just
need to be alone" speech

Unless they have another
prospect, you know?

So when you're on
the trip with ben,

If he gives you any signs
that there's someone else,

Let me know.

[Pigeon cooing]

Okay.

[Indistinct voices]

[Children shouting]

[Siren wailing in distance]

[Rustling]

[Sighs]

Morning.

[Indistinct voices]

Come with me.

What?

Well, I was...

I was in bed last night,
alone, which is weird.

Um, and I had this epiphany.

Why don't you come with me?

To berlin?

I have my job with dr. Kessler.

Well, just for two
weeks, you know?

The... The same amount of time
you're supposed to drive with ben.

I'm a little ahead of myself. I-i
already ordered you a ticket.

Oh, my god! Noel!

I know. It's a huge deal, you
know, taking a trip like this.

I mean, on your own,
let alone with me,

But... I've thought
this through,

And I'm telling you,
it's a genius move.

You can't afford
to buy me a ticket.

You so underestimate
my financial acumen.

[Laughs] and just...

By the way, it's refundable,

So on the incredibly off
chance that, uh, that you say no,

Nobody gets hurt.

I can't believe you.

Well, don't say yes now.

Think about it and...
You know, say yes later.

Okay.

Okay, you'll go or okay,
you'll think about it?

Uh, okay, I'll think about it.

Okay.

[Indistinct voices]

Which I really
didn't have to do.

I mean, who would say
no to a trip to europe

With a guy you love who's
your almost boyfriend?

So I decided to confront
this ben thing head-on.

I'm heading over
there right now.

Wish me luck.

["Boléro" plays]

I can't go.

You can't go with me?

No. Why?

Why?

Yeah.

Uh... There are a
million reasons why.

I-i can think of no less
than three reasons why.

Well, you know, i-i'd like
to hear those reasons.

Okay.

Uh... First of all, there
is the noel factor.

Noel factor. What, you
think he'd get jealous?

No. No.

He's far too mature for that.

He... He invited me to berlin.

Berlin? Really?

Wow.

Really.

And secondly, there
is the julie factor,

Which, I've got to say,
is sort of k*lling me.

Yeah, I know. I know
the julie factor.

You know how you said

That nicole made you feel so
uncomfortable around lynn

Because she was
like... I know. I know.

Okay, well, you're doing the
same thing with me and julie.

I mean, now i-i feel bad
just hanging out with her...

Yeah, but wait a minute.
There is a huge difference.

Lynn and nicole
were still dating.

You and julie just broke up!

Yeah, that's right. We broke up.

What's the third?

We b... We both know
what the third is.

Tell me. W-what's the third?

The moment... The
almost-kiss m...

Don't pretend like you
don't know what the third is.

Okay! Okay, okay. I just...

How is that a reason for us
not to drive cross-country?

[Music continues]

Because.

Because?

That's your reason... Because?

[Chuckles]

Look, I don't know. The
noel thing, you know...

Berlin sounds great. It does.

Maybe you should go with him.

[Sighs]

The julie factor...

I don't really know
what to say about that.

And the third thing, the
only reason that is an issue

Is because in that
moment we did not kiss,

So it's like this...

It's like this big,
unanswered question.

Well, yeah. I think
you're exactly right.

[Music continues]

I've wanted to do
that for a long time.

[Chair sliding]

Uh, where are you going?

Uh, I don't know.
It's a flight reflex.

Felicity...

Ben kissed you?

Would you keep your voice down?

[Indistinct voices]

And you want to go with noel.

What? You don't think I
made the right choice?

No, and neither do you.

Go with ben.

And if julie was sitting right
here, I'd say the same thing.

Dr. Mcgrath: good morning...

For the last time.

Look what I've got.

Damn it.

What?

I messed up on this final.

You always say that.

No. This time I mean it.

How do you know? Did
mcgrath say something?

Miss porter.

Miss tyler.

I'm sure you did great.

[Indistinct voices]

See? You did better than I did.

[Papers rustling]

[Horns honking in distance]

Felicity: elena's
obviously wrong.

I mean, I couldn't even
consider going with ben.

Right?

[Knock on door]

Come in.

[Door opens]

Hey.

[Clears throat]

Hi.

[Door closes]

[Clears throat]

So you've been avoiding me.

Yeah.

Well, I got your message.

But I got to say, I
don't agree with it.

I really want you
to come with me.

Look, I think that's
really kind, but...

No, it's not kind. It's
not. It's what I want.

I mean, I understand
what you're saying

About noel and about julie.

I understand that, but...

I have this feeling it's
what you want, too.

I'm going with noel.

I... W-we have this whole plan.

Yeah, but so did we until
you changed your mind.

I can't go with you

Because that would
make me the devil.

Driving with me
makes you the devil?

Yes, because it would
be a direct affront

To both julie and to noel.

You and I both know

That if we were to
drive across country...

I mean... It would
never be platonic.

So?

Ben.

Fine.

Fine. We'll make it platonic.

I don't care. I just
want to go with you.

I mean, we'll do it as friends.

That's... That's
great. I swear to god.

I just don't see how
this could work.

[Siren wailing in distance]

["Boléro" plays]

[Sighs]

[Bed creaks]

Come here.

What?

Just come sit down.

Why?

Come on. I'm... I'm not
gonna do anything.

I'm not.

Just come sit down.

[Music continues]

[Bed creaks]

Okay.

We are in the car.

This is stupid.

No, it's not stupid.

I'm just trying to
prove a point here, okay?

Okay. I-i'm driving.

Oh, i-i'm sorry. D-did
you want to drive?

No. You go ahead and drive.

Okay. I'm drivin'.

This is a smooth ride,
wouldn't you say?

[Laughs] hmm?

Yeah.

[Exhales deeply]

What happens when
we go to a motel

And there's only one bed?

One bed.

Yeah.

[Music continues]

[Bed creaks]

Lie down.

Come on.

[Chuckles] just try it.

[Breathes deeply]

See?

Okay. This could never work.

What?

I think you should leave.

Look, I know you want to go,

Or at least you're
thinking about me a little bit.

And how do you know that?

Because you started
wearing that necklace again...

The necklace I got you.

Okay. Let's go.

[Latch clicks]

Why?

Come on.

[Bed creaks]

[Music continues]

[Elevator dings, doors rattling]

Well, I still think you
should think about it.

I've thought it through. Thanks.

Hey, can you guys
hold that, please? Hi!

Thank you.

Hey. Hey. How's it going?

Good, thanks. I just got to
drop off my last r.a. Report,

Then I'm done for the year.

Have you gone to the
passport place yet?

Not yet.

What? You got to go.
We only have a few days.

I'm gonna go to the
passport place tomorrow.

Okay. Good.

We're, uh... We're
going to berlin.

Yeah, that... That's
what felicity says. Yeah.

[Doors rattling]

[Mid-tempo jazz music plays]

Man: so, where are you going?

Felicity: uh, berlin.

Oh, berlin. Nice.

Really nice.

Oh, have you been there?

No, but, uh, you
know, people tell me.

Do you speak german?

No.

Nah. You don't need it.

Okay, look right here...

Where my finger is.

This finger.

It'll just be a second.

[Mechanical whirring]

Have you ever driven
across the country?

United states? Yeah. Once.

How was it?

It was... One of the
best times I ever had.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the best.

It was great. You gotta do that.

And you don't even
need a passport, right?

You just go.

Anywhere you want.

It's such a romantic thing,
driving cross-country.

Wow.

Okay. Ready?

[Flashbulb pops]

Have a nice trip. Thanks.

Wherever you go.

[Music continues]

[Indistinct voices]

I know who ben likes.

Did he talk to you?

No, lynn did, and he
told me about nicole.

[Metal rattling]

Nicole? Yeah. Yeah.
It's so obvious.

They were swimming together.

They were always hanging
out. Of course it was her.

So you... You think
that... Ben likes nicole?

Yeah.

I guess she was making
these moves on him,

And that's why lynn
and her broke up.

Can you believe that?

God.

Did you know about
that? About nicole?


[Indistinct voices]

You knew that she
was going after ben,

And you didn't tell me?

It... I mean, he mentioned
something at work about...

Her paying a lot
of attention to him.

How could you not tell me that?

I'm sorry.

[Indistinct voices]

[Sighs]

[Footsteps]

I don't think he likes nicole.

That's what lynn said.

If it's not her, who is it?

[Paper rustling, metal rattling]

Felicity: I should've
just come out and said,

"Julie, I can't believe this,

But... I think the girl
he likes might be me."

But if I'd said that,

She would've asked
me what I felt about ben,

And... I don't know how I
would've answered that question.

[Introduction to ivy's
"I've got a feeling" plays]

I started to wonder.

I mean, maybe elena was right.

What would be wrong with
considering going with ben?

hurt anyone, right?

So, what if we did this?

[Dog barking]

I shouldn't even be here.

Well, I'm glad you're here.

I was in bed last night,

Just trying to
figure it all out...

Like, what it would
mean if we went together.

How come everything has
to have so much meaning?

I mean, I've never met someone
so desperate for meaning.

Look, I'm leaving tonight.

Are you gonna come with me?

I can't be having this
conversation, because I am the devil.

You keep saying
you're the devil.

I'll tell you what.
You are not the devil.

What if I am? Then what?

Then I'd still want
you to come with me.

You would not. Yes, I would.

Okay, first of all,

You would not want me to
go with you if I were the devil.

And secondly...
It's not just us.

I mean, you know, there
are other people involved.

Yeah, but I like
you. I can't help it.

I mean, you're
crazy... [Both chuckle]

And you analyze everything,

And that kind of
scared me at first, but...

I don't know.

You're really
smart about things,

And you've been a
good friend to me.

And I really like you.

come back for me.

Yeah, I did.

I was driving,

Trying to think of some
great reason to come back,

Something else to say
to try to convince you.

See, I just know if you were me,

You'd have, uh,
some great reason,

Some big speech
with all this meaning.

But... I don't have that.

[Chuckles]

All I have is that I like you.

And that I got as
far as harrisburg,

But I turned around
and came back, so...

So maybe there's
some meaning in that.

[Horns honking in distance]

Ben...

I never wanted to hurt
julie. You know that.

I can't stand how
screwed up this is.

But... At the same time...

I can't help how I feel.

So this is the, uh,

This is the last
time I'm gonna ask.

Will you come with me?

Please?

'Cause I already
know it's a better trip

If we're together.

[Exhales deeply]

[Vehicles passing]

All right, look. I'm
gonna go back to the loft.

I'm gonna wait there till 10:00,

And if you're not
there, that's cool.

That's okay. I'll see
you in the summer.

Okay?

I can't believe you came back.

[Siren wailing in distance]

Yeah, I know.

[Chuckles]

[Footsteps depart]

[Car alarm blaring in distance]

Felicity: it turns out noel
left me this incredible letter.

This is what he wrote...

"Dear felicity,

"Although it's true,
it seems impossible...

"Nine months ago, I
didn't even know you.

"Now I can say with
absolute certainty

"That there's no
one on the planet

"Who means more to me than you.

"Whatever happened
with you and ben,

"Whatever happens
with you and anyone,

"It could never
change the way I feel.

"So with that, I conclude
this sappy yet sincere letter

"And ask you to please
seriously consider

"Using the enclosed.

Love, noel."

♪ I will remember you ♪

[Tape recorder clicks]

♪ Will you remember me? ♪

♪ Don't let your life... ♪
When I was 6 years old,

♪ Pass you by... ♪
I had an ant farm.

After a few months,
I opened the top,

♪ Weep not for... ♪
Left it outside.

♪ The memories ♪ the next
day, the farm was empty.

All the ants were gone.

♪ Remember the good times ♪
but they left behind these tunnels,

♪ That we had? ♪ All these
empty spaces they'd been living in,

Working in for months.

♪ I let them slip away from
us when things got bad ♪

♪ How clearly I first saw you ♪

♪ Smilin' in the sun ♪ I remember
staring at this empty ant farm,

♪ Want to feel your warmth upon
me ♪ noticing one last ant still inside,

♪ I want to be the one ♪ still
moving little grains of sand.

♪ I will remember you ♪

♪ Will you remember me? ♪

♪ Don't let your life... ♪

I watched him for a while,

♪ Pass you by ♪ until he began making
his way through the maze of tunnels

And finally
climbing out the top.

♪ Weep not for the memories ♪

Anyway, once he was
outside on the grass,

♪ I'm so tired ♪
he just stopped.

♪ Doesn't let me choose ♪ I swear to god, it was
like he was trying to decide which way to go.

♪ Once there was a darkness
♪ but then, finally, off he went.

♪ A deep and endless night ♪

♪ You gave me everything
you had ♪ so here's the thing...

♪ Oh, you gave me light ♪
I've made a decision.

I'm not flying home by myself.

♪ And I will remember you ♪

I didn't have to make a
decision between ben and noel,

♪ Will you remember me? ♪
But I did.

♪ Don't let your
life pass you by ♪

♪ Weep not for the memories ♪

♪ And I will remember you ♪

[Door closes]

♪ Will you remember me? ♪
So, where to?

♪ Don't let your
life pass you by... ♪

I'll be home in a few weeks,

And I'll send you a
tape when I get there.

♪ Weep not for... ♪

Love, felicity.

♪ The memories ♪

♪ Weep not for the memories ♪
