Cory Matthews
- Lauren: I just wanna be in love with someone, and maybe have some kids someday. Do you wanna have kids?
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, but I have to be home by midnight.
- Shawn Hunter: It's a tie. You like Lauren as much as you like Topanga and you can't live without either of them. Well, this was a bad idea.
- Cory Matthews: No, no, this was a good idea. Shawn, yeah, I like Lauren. I like spending time with her. But I can live without her. I-I can't live without Topanga.
- [he smiles happily while putting the rest of jelly beans bag on Topanga's end of the scales]
- Cory Matthews: It's no contest.
- Cory Matthews: Topanga! Hi, I'm glad you're here. Sit, sit. I want to tell you everything that happened. Okay, I went out with Lauren, and I'm not gonna lie to you. We had a great time.
- Topanga Lawrence: Well, Lauren's a nice girl, Cory. I knew you'd have fun.
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, but I-I didn't know I was allowed to. See, when I first met Lauren, she was the first girl besides you that I ever thought I could like. And that made me feel bad because I thought if I liked another girl, that it somehow meant that I liked you less.
- Topanga Lawrence: I'm sorry you felt bad.
- Cory Matthews: No, no, no. I-it was good that I went through this. Because it taught me that liking someone else could never, ever take away from loving you, and I don't have to be afraid of what I feel for anybody else because I know that it could never take away from loving you and I always will, and I know that completely now.
- Topanga Lawrence: You know that now?
- Cory Matthews: Yeah.
- Topanga Lawrence: Is there anything else you have to tell me?
- Cory Matthews: [mumbles to himself] Love you completely, know that now...
- [to Topanga]
- Cory Matthews: No, that's it. So, uh, listen can you put me in your jacket 'cause I only want to be in your jacket.
- Topanga Lawrence: Cory, I can't see you anymore.
- Cory Matthews: What?
- Topanga Lawrence: Do you have any idea how many guys hit on me?
- Cory Matthews: What are you talking about?
- Topanga Lawrence: I never needed to test my feelings for you. I moved away from my parents in Pittsburgh to be close to you. Ever since we were little kids, I felt like I belonged with you and I would have given you everything, Cory.
- Cory Matthews: Topanga, I'm-I'm so sorry.
- Topanga Lawrence: I forgive you. I forgive you for lying at the lodge. I forgive you for kissing her. And I forgive you for the letter, which I read. I know how intimately she felt about you. But that you needed to see her, to test how you felt about me.
- Cory Matthews: No.
- Topanga Lawrence: I don't forgive you for that, Cory.
- Cory Matthews: [He stands up] No! You told me to see her, Topanga! You told me to see how I felt!
- [Topanga stands up and hugs Cory]
- Topanga Lawrence: And you listened.
- [She walks away and passes Shawn on the stairs]
- Shawn Hunter: Topanga, what's wr-
- [She ignores him and continues up the stairs. He walks over to Cory, who is in a state of shock]
- Shawn Hunter: It's gonna be okay.
- Cory Matthews: No. No, it won't.
- Cory Matthews: We're not gonna decide the rest of my life with jelly beans, Shawn.
- Shawn Hunter: Then who's gonna decide the rest of your life? You?
- Lauren: You're worried about something, aren't you?
- Cory Matthews: Yeah.
- Lauren: Aren't you having fun with me?
- Cory Matthews: That's what I'm worried about.
