A WHIRLWINDER'S MIXUP June 8th (They come to Llanview U.) Nora: Ah, here we are. Emily: This place is amazing. Nora: I knew you'd like it. Emily: Thank you so much for driving me around campus. Nora: Sure. Emily: I'm sure you have better things to do with your evening, like sitting in front of an air conditioner. Nora: Can you believe how hot it is, and here it is june? No, I had fun, and besides, I had an ulterior motive. Emily: Uh-oh. What's that? Nora: I wanted to get to know you better. After all, you are troy's sister. Emily: A dubious distinction. I wanted to get to know you, too, nora. Nora: Hmm? Emily: Troy told me so much about you, and i couldn't wait to actually meet you. Nora: Do i live up to the reputation -- smart, funny, beautiful, talented? Emily: Definitely. Nora: Oh, good, a liar, too! I like that about you! (Laughing) Emily: I was so worried that Troy would never be this happy with anyone again. Nora: "Again"? You mean i'm not the first woman in his life? (Next scene.) Starr: Ahem. Troy: Starr. What are you doing here? Starr: I came to say good-bye. Troy: Good-bye? You're going somewhere? Starr: To hawaii. Troy: Oh, where you're going on vacation. Starr: No. I'm on the lam. Troy: You're on the lam? You mean, like you're on the run? Starr: You got it. Troy: Really? Starr: Well, we have to hide out because my dad told a lie -- a really, really bad lie. (Next scene) Troy: Well, you want to come in for a little bit? Starr: Sure. Where do you think you're going? Troy: You know what? I can keep an eye on her while she's in here. She'll be fine. Woman: I'll be right out here if you need me. Starr: Some people just don't know their place, you know? Troy: Yeah, I do. So, you have a few problems at home, huh? Things aren't so good? Starr: Nope. Troy: What happened? Starr: Well, remember when i told my parents that you were on the wheel in the fun house and they thought that I was lying? Troy: How could I forget? Starr: Well, now they're lying and I'm being punished for it. Troy: You mean by dragging you off to hawaii? Starr: No, that's the fun part. Troy: Yes, that is the fun part. So why hawaii? Starr: Well, because my dad lied to my mom and my mom doesn't want to talk to my dad, which I think is a lie, too, because i know she wants to. Troy: Ok, so wait a minute. So your mom's angry with your father because he lied? Starr: She's supposed to love him forever, and now we have to hit the road. Cooool!!!!! (She picks up his talismon) Troy: Starr, you know what -- starr: What is it? Troy: It's a souvenir from my time in africa. Starr: Africa? Troy: Mm-hmm. Starr: You were in africa? Troy: Yeah, well, a long time ago. Starr: Did you get to see zebras and lions? Troy: I sure did. Starr: Oh, you're so lucky. Does this thing have any magical powers? Troy: Nope. Afraid not. Starr: Lame. So, I guess this is good-bye. Troy: I guess this is, huh? I'm going to miss you. Starr: I know. Troy: Oh. Starr: See you around? Troy: Yes, i will see you around. You be good. Starr: Yeah, right. Can I tell you something? Troy: Yeah, sure. Starr: I'm afraid my mom won't forgive my dad about his dumb lie. I mean, I can understand, but doesn't she know it's hard to always tell the truth? Troy: Yeah, but you should if it's at all possible. Starr: Do you always tell the truth? (Troy has a flashback) Troy's voice: Look, it's just that nora doesn't know anything about joanna yet, ok? Emily's voice: Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I won't say a word. Troy's voice: Just promise me that you won't. (Next scene) Nora: Emily? I'm sorry. I was kidding -- again. I mean, obviously, i know there have been other women in troy's life. He's an adult and he's smart and he's funny and he's easy on the eyes and -- should i be saying this to his sister? Emily: Oh, believe me, I've heard much worse. Ok, now I'm just kidding. I think troy's great, and so are you. Nora: Thank you. That means a lot to me. What is keeping your student mentor? Emily: Are you coming with us? Nora: What, and inhibit the free flow of student insights into llanview u.? No, no, no, I'll wait here until you get back -- in the air conditioning. Emily: You know, if you're not coming, you should just go back to troy's. Nora: No, no, I'm going to wait here. I'm fine. Emily: Come on. I feel bad enough. I barged in on you guys, you know, uninvited. Just go on back to troy'S. Nora: No, absolutely. You were the best part of the whole evening. Your surprise visit was wonderful. Emily: If you stay, it'll make me feel guilty. Nora: Oh, for -- [phone rings] Nora: Excuse me. [Ring] Nora: Hello? Troy: So how's my favorite college girl? Nora: She's doing just fine. Troy: Oh, no, actually, I was talking about you. Nora: Oh. Well, I'm doing fine, too. Are you back from your house call already? Troy: I am. Are you two heading back soon or are you going to ditch me for a keg party? Nora: Well, it's a thought. We'll be back as soon as Emily has her grand tour of llanview u. Emily: No. Try sooner. Nora: (Emily grabs the phone) What? Hey, hey, hey, hey -- Emily: Troy, it's me. No, Nora's on her way back. Yeah, I can find my way home. I left a trail of bread crumbs. Here you go. Nora: (Gets phone back) Ha. Thank you. Hello, again. Troy: I should warn you, my sister's very stubborn. She's also the baby of the family, so she's used to getting her way. Nora: Yes, i'm beginning to see that. Troy: Well, it's probably best that you go along with her and head back here as soon as you can. Nora: Well, clearly, I'm outvoted. All right, i'll see you in a bit. Troy: Not soon enough. Nora: Hmm. All right, ms. Maciver, you are officially on your own. Emily: Great. I'll see you later. Nora: Oh, you bet you will. Bye-bye. Emily: Bye. (Nora leaves) Chad: (Chad searches.) Ok, alexandra, where are you? (Sees Emily) Hi. Emily: Hey. Chad: You made it. Emily: I did. Thanks so much for doing this. Chad: Oh, it's my pleasure. You ready to get this over with? Emily: You bet. Chad: Great. All I need from you then is the $200. Emily: $200? (Next scene) Nora: Miss me? Troy: Oh, you know i missed you. (The kiss) Mmm. Nora: Your sister is absolutely fabulous. Troy: Oh, you think so? Nora: Yeah. Troy: She already won you over? Nora: Oh, I'm her biggest fan. Troy: Well, you know, I might give you a little run for your money on that one. Nora: Oh, the proud brother? Troy: You know, something like that. Nora: Mm-hmm. Troy: Mmm. Nora: And she's very sweet. Troy: Yeah, she is. Nora: And smart. Troy: Well, the smart part runs in the family. Nora: Oh, is that right? Troy: That's right. I was smart enough to fall in love with you, right? Nora: Oh, I didn't realize that that was a sign of intelligence. Troy: Well, it is only when the feelings are mutual. Nora: They are. Troy: Good. You know, otherwise, it would be a pretty stupid move on my part, you know, a mere mortal like myself, falling in love with a greek goddess like you. Nora: We can't have that now, can we? Troy: No, no, we definitely can't have that. What time did you say emily was coming back? Nora: I think the official tour is a little more than an hour. Troy: An hour, you say? Nora: A little more than. Troy: A little more than an hour. Nora: What do you think we should do for the whole hour? Troy: You know, I'm not sure, but I'm sure we can think of something. (She rips his shirt off!!!) (Next scene) Emily: I don't get it. I thought it'd be free. Chad: Free? You've got to be kidding me? Emily: It was free the last time. Chad: I thought we had this all worked out. Emily: So did i. Chad: I really need the money. Emily: And I don't? $200 is a lot of money, man. I can't just throw it away on something i don't really need. Look, just forget it. Chad: Wait a second, you can't back out now. It's way too late for me to find anybody else. Emily: That's not my problem. I'm not paying you $200. Do i look like that much of a sucker? Chad: Ok, fine. 150. Emily: No way, and I really don't care if you find someone else or not. Chad: A deal's a deal. Emily: Look, this is not some deal to me. This is my education. Chad: Your education? What the hell are you talking about? (Next scene) Emily: Just forget about it, ok? Chad: No, no, no, no. I don't want to forget about it. Your education. Are you serious? I would love to have your major. Did you get credits for going on spring break, too? Emily: Excuse me, but I'm not asking for a free ride. Chad: Could have fooled me. Emily: But I'm not about to give you money that i'll need for books and living expenses. I'm not a rockefeller. Chad: Neither am i. I'm about to be out 200 bucks. Emily: Well, that's just too bad. Chad: Give me a break. Emily: Wire your parents if you're that hard up. No, get a real job. Chad: Ok, fine. You know what? You win, alexandra. You win, ok? I'll take a bath on this one. Emily: I'm not Alexandra. Chad: What are you talking about? You're not alexandra bonomo? Emily: My name's emily. Emily maciver. Chad: Did alexandra send you? Emily: I don't even know an alexandra. Does that mean you're not here to give me a tour of the campus? Chad: Give you a what? No, no. Emily: I'm really sorry. I thought you were going to be my mentor. Chad: Be your what? (A geek approaches her) Boy: Are you emily? I'm hermie. I'm your mentor. (Next scene) Hermie: Wow. I didn't know you'd be so, you know, pretty. Chad: Say, herm, old buddy, could you give us -- I mean we just got to finish something up. Hermie: Um -- chad: Thanks. Emily: So this is the part where you apologize profusely? Chad: On my hands and knees with tears in my eyes. Look, this has obviously been some sort of misunderstanding. Emily: You think? Chad: My guess is you're not here to buy concert tickets. Emily: And my guess is you don't give tours of the campus. Chad: No wonder you thought 200 bucks was a bit steep. Emily: No wonder you were so bummed. You thought I was trying to back out on your deal. Chad: So that stud, hermie, he's your appointed tour guide, huh? Emily: Looks that way. I figured since I'm taking some courses here, I might as well know where i'm going. Chad: Well, my guess is hermie doesn't really, you know, leave the chem lab. But, you know, i tell you what, if you got some time tomorrow, I can take you around. You know, show you the rest of the place where all, like, the really cool stuff happens. I mean, only if you got time. Emily: You'd do that? Chad: Yes, i would, and I'll only charge 25 bucks for it. How can you say no? (Next scene) Nora: I love making love to you. It's wonderful. I just feel really connected to you when we make love. It's like you're sharing everything with me. Like there's no more than an ounce of your body or mind or heart or soul that you're holding back. Troy: Nora -- nora: Hmm? Troy: There's something i have to tell you. (Uh-oh...) END OF EPISODE
