(THEME SONG PLAYING)

ANNOUNCER: Last seen on Boy Meets World.

I do not want to go to New York!

What about Topanga?

Topanga?

Give me your hand.

(LAUGHING)

(GASPS)

Oh, Cory.

Hey, I've been doing some thinking about New York.

Oh, yeah!

Well, I'm gonna do some thinking, too.

Let me tell you what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna turn down the internship.

I want to do whatever you want.

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Hey!

Nothing's gonna change!

You know she didn't mean a word she just said.

I know it!

Feeny.

I love the Feeny call.

Your best advice always came right here from the fence.

Hey, Mr. Feeny, whatcha doing?

Okay, she's got an internship

at a law firm in New York city.

And she turned it down. And she turned it down because of me.

Well, I wanna go to New York.

You would do this for me?

Topanga, I'd do anything for you.

Will you marry me?

(CHEERING)

That is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen.

Bite me!

I feel this is the right move for me.

You know, New York city.

Nobody knows me there. I can be anybody I want to be.

I want you to be Eric.

Sir, yes, sir!

You are a disgrace to this university,

to this country, and humanity in general!

Wow.

Okay, well, the best goodbyes are fast goodbyes.

Are you freaking nuts?

Underpants!

You're coming with us?

I'm going with you?

Really?

You really like her?

Yeah, I really do.

ANNOUNCER: Now the conclusion of Boy Meets World.

So, you're probably not gonna miss me at all, are you?

(CLEARS THROAT) Not one bit.

You said to me that there would come a time

where you weren't gonna be around anymore,

and that's not so.

Eric... No, no, no, Dad...

I remember everything that you taught me,

and I'm gonna turn around,

and I'm gonna teach that to my children.

So you see, Dad...

You're always gonna be around.

Well, thank you, Eric.

Get off your butt. Get a job.

Huh? Right now!

Thank you, Daddy.

Okay, let's do it!

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cory, wait!

You know... (STAMMERING)

Now we got our relationship back on track...

Why don't we, uh, you know, go home?

Uh, play basketball or something?

Why? Because you're afraid I can't keep up with you guys?

Huh? Well, watch this!

(EXCLAIMING)

(BOTH SHRIEKING)

He jumped! Oh, my...

Oh, go, go get him!

Go get him!

Hey, how come, like,

I don't have that special relationship like you have with Cory?

What? What?

What?

Well, like, do you value my views and opinions on things?

Oh, oh, good! His chute opened.

That's great. Listen...

All we ever do is buddy stuff.

We have nothing! I want more!

From this moment on,

you gotta start listening to my views

on philosophy, politics,

and what makes the universe go round!

I don't think so!

Hey! I'm talking to you!

You jumped out of a plane rather than talk to me.

No, you're exaggerating.

The wind sucked me out like a vacuum.

You hit the ground and started running!

My interpretation is that the artist

is illustrating a very painful situation

where the father monkey has two sons,

but only one coconut. So he...

He splits the coconut in half, but...

Only half of a coconut isn't enough for either son.

Uh-huh.

(CLEARING THROAT) So...

What kind of art you wanna talk about now?

Neoclassicism, Impressionism...

Photographic art.

Ansel Adams, American landscape.

He's probably my favorite.

But you didn't know that.

Uh, no, I didn't.

How do you know about all this?

Learned about it at school.

We just, you know, never talked about it.

Didn't think you'd want to hear it from me.

I just always tried to be the person

I thought you wanted me to be.

Um...

You know, I'd really love to hear

what you have to say about this piece.

I would love to tell you.

Is that a tear in your eye? No.

(CHUCKLES)

Baby.

Take the turnpike. It's faster.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Put on your jackets.

It's supposed to cool off. Okay.

Mom! Eric!

What are you doing here?

Am I in trouble?

No, I'm in creative writing.

But this is creative writing.

Oh! I had no idea this was your class.

Yeah.

Well, you said to get out there in the world.

So here I am, back in school.

Um, "A Young, Married Woman"

by Amy Matthews.

Oh, this is great. A thousand words on dryer lint.

"The wedding was over.

"I was 19

"And about to embark on a new life.

"The hotel suite was as lovely as a picture.

"Alan walked toward me,

"and I began to tremble.

Oh, my God. "My lips..."

I re-read your paper, and I realize

that you're more than just a mother and a housewife.

You're also a really good storyteller.

And you should, come back to class.

Really?

Yeah, and if that's what you want to do,

you should come back

and you should really keep writing.

That means so much coming from you.

And when you walk around New York,

look like you belong there.

And don't you dare get Topanga pregnant

until you're absolutely ready.

I won't.

So, uh...

Do we say goodbye now?

How do we do that?

I could never have handled Dad's death without you.

I just, I just wish he could be here

to see us finally getting along.

I am here.

I'm always here for you, boys.

(SIGHS) Oh, man.

He'd be so proud of you.

Starting this adventure in New York City.

Nothing but the clothes on your back.

Yeah, well, it's...

You know, it's like Dad always said.

(DEEP VOICE) "Money don't make you rich!

"Life makes you rich!"

I don't talk nothing like that.

You know, you never even had a nickel in your pocket,

and that wasn't important to you.

I admire that, man. I admire you.

I admire you more than I do me.

Uh-oh.

"Uh-oh," what?

Rachel?

Yeah?

Save me a seat

on that boat next to you.

I can't believe I just did that.

What'd you do?

What'd he do?

You're giving up your stepfather's money.

What?

What money?

What the Sam Hill is she talking about, boy?

Yeah.

Money doesn't make you rich.

Life makes you rich.

Our father taught us that.

Did not!

That's stupid.

Money makes you rich. You ask anybody,

"What makes you rich?"

Money!

I got two stupid boys.

Y'all embarrassed me in front of my dead friends!

We're going into the Peace Corps, Jack.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Oh!

Peace Corps?

That means you're gonna do good for people.

They like that up here.

I am so proud of you, Jack.

You know you're doing the right thing.

Yeah, reckon you are.

Good boy.

Good boys.

We lost him.

Uh...

I'm sorry, boys.

There's someone here who'd like to say goodbye.

Hey, little bro.

CORY: Come here.

Come here, I want to tell you something.

You know what's out there?

The world.

You're gonna be part of it someday.

Yeah.

(GIGGLES)

You're gonna learn something from it every day.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

You're gonna make mistakes.

You're gonna make good friends.

Mr. Feeny will probably teach you,

every grade you're ever in.

And maybe...

You'll meet a woman as wonderful as Topanga.

How'd you like that?

Good. Yeah?

And maybe you'll make a friend like Shawn.

Yeah.

But when you're not a little boy anymore,

when the world taught you how to be this man,

you know, you're still gonna make mistakes.

But your family and your friends

that you made along the way are gonna help you, okay?

Yeah.

Even though it'll seem like the world's going out of its way

to teach you these hard lessons,

you're gonna realize that...

You know, it's the same world

that's given you your family and your friends.

You know?

And you're gonna come to believe

that the world's gonna protect you, too.

Boy meets world.

Now I get it.

Yeah.

Give me five.

Give me a hug. Come here.

You ready to go inside?

You ready?

Topanga!

Topanga! That's me!

(GIGGLING)

You call him?

I called him. He'll be there.

Okay.

Ready?

I was born ready.

Let's do it.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Thank you.

I'll do the best I can, okay?

I know you will.

(SNIFFLES)

ALAN: As long as you got my face, you got my attention.

Dad.

Yeah?

Let go of my face. (ALAN LAUGHING)

So, this is the big boy on the block huh?

Very slick.

Too bad I can't go to the water war to use it.

You can if you run.

Isn't it my responsibility

to finish painting the fence?

I think your first responsibility

is to stay 11 years old as long as you can.

We're always here for you.

Okay?

I know.

I want you to take care of Mom and Dad, okay?

I'm Cory, I'm 16,

and I'm going to Atlantic City to see an R-rated movie.

(LAUGHING)

Uh, here, Morgan, let me help you make the matinee.

Daddy!

(SCREAMS)

Take care of yourself, Cory.

Bye. Bye.

What?

We're leaving.

I know.

We wanted to know if you had anything else left to teach us.

No.

My work with you is done.

I don't know.

It's pretty scary.

Going into a whole new world.

And you're ready to go into that world.

Even me?

Even you.

Believe in yourselves.

Dream.

Try.

Do good.

Don't you mean "do well"?

No, I mean "do good."

Well. (CLEARS THROAT)

I guess there's just one thing left, then.

Tell us you love us.

Now, look...

If there's one thing I've taught you

is that there is a line between teacher and student

that must never be crossed.

Tell us you love us.

I regard all my students equally.

Oh, you know we're your favorites.

Come on, Feeny, you haven't even

talked to another student for seven years.

I mean, you might...

Tell us you love us!

I surely will not.

Okay for you, then.

(CRYING) I will never forget you.

You were more of a father to me than my own dad.

You, uh...

You never gave up on me.

(SNIFFLES)

Never once.

I'm, uh...

(SNIFFLES) I'm not gonna forget you.

You're the best person I know.

I don't know what's gonna happen to me.

But I do know that I'm gonna be a good person

who cares about people.

And I blame you for that.

So, Mr. Matthews...

You think we know each other long enough for you to call me Cory?

I think we know each other long enough

for me to call you Cornelius.

(SHUSHING) Mr. Feeny!

Come... Not even Topanga knows that!

Your secret is safe with me.

Well...

I got Topanga to go to New York.

Good for you.

She's not even scared anymore.

Nor should she be.

I am.

Well, you have a right to be.

You coming with us, Mr. Feeny?

You gonna sneak up on us in Central Park or something?

(LAUGHS)

No, I shall remain here.

No, you'll always be with us.

As long as we live, okay?

I love you all.

Class dismissed.
