"Previously on Felicity..." "There was this guy, Zack... and we had just started dating, and he raped me." "I thought I was over it, but I guess I'm not." "I see the way that she looks at Greg." "She admires him." "She admires that whole pre-med... running the health center thing, and I don't have that." " Cheers." " Cheers." "What are you reading?" "It's for History of Western Thought." "I have never hated a class more than this." " Why don't you get Noel to help you?" " No, I can do it by myself." "But he's the T.A., right?" "You don't think I can figure out Leibowitz on my own?" "No, I totally think you can." "Thank you." "It's Leibniz, though, right?" "My ex-boyfriend just walked in." "Nobody look." " Where?" " I said, "Don't look."" "He's the cute one over there." "I had a crunch on him, but he fell too in love with me." "Then he became obsessive-compulsive." "I said, "Don't look." I'll kill you." "I was peeking." "Oh, my God." "He's walking over here." "Benjamin, pretend we're dating." "No." "There's no way." " No way!" " Yeah!" "Oh, and then for my birthday Benjamin gave me a bubble bath with a lot of candles and aromatherapy." "Benjamin, whisper into my ear lobe." "Javier, I quit." "You tease!" "We can't do that here." "Mwah!" "Aren't I so lucky, going out with such a hunk?" "So lucky." "Oh, wait." "No, that's not him." "Why don't you just highlight the things that aren't important?" "That way you'll save time and lots of ink." " Come in." " Go away." " Hey, it's Burky." " Hey, it's not a phone call." "We can see you." "Yeah, I understand that." " Check this out." " What is that?" "Business cards from all the restaurants I deem suitable." " For what?" " For the best first date of your life." "Before you say no... just notice the time and effort that went into this." " Burky, believe me, I'm so..." " Don't say flattered." "I'll jump out the window if you say flattered." "Flattered." "Hey." "Krispy Kreme?" "But..." " So look through the book." " Yeah, I will." "Just for the record, you scare the hell out of me." "Do you ever have nightmares?" "Sometimes." "I had one recently about Meghan's box." "It was really weird." "Why?" "I haven't really been able to sleep lately." "I've been dreaming about Zack." "I feel like a war veteran having flashbacks from the battlefield." "Jeez." "What happens in the dreams?" "I just can't sleep." "They have counselors at the health center." "I know." "Remember?" "I went last year." "Technically, I was supposed to schedule my third appointment with them." "Maybe you should do that." "I don't really feel ready yet." "The doughnuts are really good." "They're too good." "Swollen to the size of a squash ball?" "OK, I'm gonna make an appointment for you." "How's... 5:15?" "We're sort of booked." "OK..." "Hi, just a moment." "All right." "We'll see you then." " Sorry." " That's OK." "I need to make an appointment." " Are you a student here?" " Yeah." "OK." "How's 6:00?" "That's all we've got." "OK." "My name's Leila Foster." "All right, and what are you here for?" "Um, I need to get the morning after pill." "The condom broke." "Oh, God, as if you care." "God, sorry." "Tell me about it." "You know what?" "Let me see if I can get you in earlier." "That'd be great." "Thanks." "Hang on a sec." "Hey, I need a favor." "A wind of ten meters per second..." "measured at a height of ten meters... will produce a force close to 30 tons per square kilometer on which of the following..." "A. Unmown grass, B. Mown grass..." "C. Glass, or D. Water?" " MCATs?" " I'm gonna blow it." "You're not gonna blow it." "You know what?" "You're right." "I won't blow it." "I'll kick ass." "But if I keep insisting that I'm gonna blow it..." "You'll be really happy when you barely squeak by." "Exactly." "What's your favor?" "There's a girl out there who needs the morning after pill." "I was hoping that you could ask Dr. Evans... if he could see her between appointments." "I would if it would help, but we're not allowed to administer the morning after pill." "My friend got it here last year." "I came with her." "It's a recent thing." "Change of policy." "Been a lot of those lately." "It's a hassle." "It's a little more than a hassle for that girl out there." "Greg." "They need you in six." "Thanks." "I understand." "You're frustrated." "What can I tell you?" "This is my personal hell." "There are administrators out there that I would rather poison than suck up to... but if I don't keep sucking we won't get the insignificant support the university provides which we so desperately need." "I think the answer's glass." "My guess was water." "Really?" "Um, I talked to the director..." "If you can't get me in early, don't worry about it." "No, that's not the problem." "I can't get you in at all." "They don't..." "I guess we don't give out that medication anymore." "I know." "I know." "I was surprised, too." "But..." "I'm sorry." "You have to see your doctor." "Or I have a list here of local physicians." "I don't even have insurance." "That's why I was coming here." " I'm really sorry." " And your director's OK with this policy?" "All I know is that it's a new policy." "So the university which is supposed to provide women's services and support students in situations like this... they're deciding what our options are?" "I'm sorry." "I'm just a volunteer." "That's exactly right." "Does anyone think Eugene Debs would agree with that?" "If so, why?" "If not, why not?" "Ben." "Yeah, I think he would agree, definitely just because this guy was all for human need and not private profit." "Yes." "True." "But he's also the guy who said the following..." ""Progress is born of agitation." ""It is either agitation or stagnation."" "This is the only guy to run for the presidency from his jail cell... so I think that he would adamantly disagree." "Yeah, I guess so." "Yeah." "Well, no one wants to get outta here more than I do... so if you'll read the chapter titled "Labor Movements"..." "I will see you Friday." "Hey, how you doing?" " I'm good." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " OK." " Hey, Ben." " Yeah?" "Thanks for raising your hand." "You were one of two." "Yeah, thanks." "I just felt like an idiot." "Don't feel bad about Debs..." "because Debs is just Debs." "Hey, look... if you ever want to talk about any of this stuff let me know, OK?" " OK." " OK." "You know that girl who needed the morning after pill?" "I felt really wrong turning her away." "Yeah, it's a hassle." "That's what you said before." "It's a hassle." "But that sort of undermines the issue." "Yeah." "I really want to hear this whole thing but I'm late for class." "Call me later?" "I don't have to." "I have two main points." "I made some phone calls and every other major university in the city allows their health center to prescribe that medication." "And two the morning after pill is basically high doses of the birth control pill, which we do prescribe and give out... so I don't understand what the problem is." "The problem is that there were some articles written about the morning after pill and also RU-486." "Now, the university was mentioned." "Some of the trustees got really upset..." "and they started making phone calls." "They said that we're not allowed to distribute any form of post-coital contraceptive." "And you know what?" "I argued with them, too." "But they won, because they make up the rules." "And you have no problem telling students that we're gonna make that decision for them." "it's OK for the administration to dictate their choice?" "I don't like that we're not allowed to treat people that aren't students, OK?" "I didn't like it when they took away the funding for the AIDS educational task force." "But there's only so many battles that I can fight." "It's a struggle enough just to keep the" " place running!" " Yeah, I know, your job is hard." "I get that part." "But this is wrong." "You know what?" "When I become a doctor and I have even the slightest shred of clout I promise you that I will change the policy." "By the way, the answer was water." "What?" "The MCAT." "You were right." "The answer was water." "I'll see you tomorrow." "My friend who went through the date rape she was so ...fragile at that time... and if the health center would have told her she had to go somewhere else to get that pill it would have made it so much worse." "Not that everyone would want to take those pills but it should at least be an option." "So you've discovered an injustice." "Greg wouldn't even take me seriously." "It was almost like he was defending the policy." "How so?" "By saying things like, "I can't fight every battle."" "I'm not asking him to fight every battle." "I'm asking him to fight this one." "You're funny." "I'm funny?" "You're presumptuous." "How?" "How." "Heh." "You assume that just because something is deeply important and valid and righteous that anybody else is gonna give a rat's ass." "What does that mean?" "It's not Greg's battle." " I know, but he's the director..." " It's not Greg's battle." "What he said to you was absolutely right." "Fine." "All I'm saying is..." "Would you please stop talking?" "I know what you're saying." "It's just that sitting here and saying the same thing in ten different variations is not gonna change a damn thing." "So what?" "I'm supposed to do something?" "* Someday *" "* Somewhere *" "* Someday *" "* That's life *" "* The way you talked about it *" "* Nothin's really over *" "* And that's life the way I see it through your eyes *" "* No." "No one's really gone *" "* Not for long *" "* Soon." "I'm gonna wake up *" "* And I'll be seeing you *" "* Someday." "Somewhere... *" "Hi." "I'm Felicity Porter, from the health center." "Did you ever get what you needed?" "Yeah." "I went to Planned Parenthood." "Good." "Good." "Do you have a second?" "Sure." "OK." "Uh... two years ago, some students found out that a bunch of the university t-shirts and hats were being made in sweatshops, so they staged a sit-in." " A sit-in." " Yeah." "And it worked." "They stopped making shirts and hats in sweatshops." "And in 1993, there was a sit-in... because the university tried to restructure... its minority affairs office, and that worked, too." "It only took three days." "You want to start a sit-in." "For the morning after pill." "Yeah." "At the health center." "I just wanted to come by and... basically let you know that I was gonna do it in case you wanted to join me." "But you don't have to decide right now." "I'm so there." "Just give me three minutes to get some stuff and invite my boyfriend." "Really?" "OK." "Yeah." "When Ben and Julie get back will you tell them to call me on Elena's cell phone?" "Tell them it's important." "Thanks." "OK." "Left messages for Julie, Ben, Noel, Richard, and Guy." "My roommate's coming and she's bringing three friends." "Great." " Thanks again for coming and skipping class." " Are you kidding?" "Besides." "You're the one missing that giant French exam." "Hey!" "Burky, what are you doing here?" " I was just picking up some medication." " You're low on Viagra?" "What if I said yes?" "Then you'd feel bad, huh?" "So what is so unfair to women?" "The administration won't let the health center give out the morning after pill, so we're having a sit-in." "This is a sit-in?" "This is pathetic." "Excuse me, but come on." "No, it's growing." "We're calling people." " It's getting huge." " Right." "You want a sit-in?" "I'm gonna go get my Claritin... and I'm gonna round up a real sit-in." "All right?" "Heh." "Viagra." "Because all societies change over time." " Everything changes." " Yeah, I got that part." "So the question is what kind of change and how should it happen, and does it have to be war?" " Grab me a Mountain Dew." " Yeah." "Thanks." "On the other hand even a gradual amount of change can lead to violence." "Who the hell drinks Mr. Pibb?" "What's up with that?" "Are you listening to me?" "Yeah, I'm listening." "Progress and violence." "All right." "Hi." "Yeah." "Absolutely." "Until recently, the university did distribute the pill." "This is a recent change." "I can't believe they won't give me my morning after pills anymore." "Lloyd, they're just for women." "Javier, yeah." "Is Ben scheduled today?" "OK." "Thanks." "You did not look fat." "I gotta go." "Bye." "Felicity, I'm on the phone with "The New York Times." How do you spell your name?" "Oh, my God." ""The New York Times"?" "Felicity, can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah." "OK." "F- e-l-i-c-i-t-y." "P- o-r-t-e-r." "I know you have the best of intentions but you're starting to disrupt the operation of the center." "That's sort of the point." "John Simmons is coming here at 4:00." " I don't know who that is." " He runs student services." "OK, obviously, as director, how this clinic operates is a reflection on me." "I totally understand." "So distance yourself." " Make sure that he knows you have nothing to do with it." " Felicity." "I'm asking Simmons to write me a letter of recommendation to med school." "He's a very important part of my very uncertain future." " Greg, I'm sorr..." " Please!" "There are other ways to get what you want here, OK?" "And it's not just your future you're risking." "Every student sitting out there could end up in serious trouble." "You trust me." "Stop this before it gets any bigger." "So, women, please show up." "Thank you, ladies." "Thank you much." "How's it going?" "There you are." "How's it going?" "Unfair to wom... to women." "Go to that." "How's it going?" "Unfair to women." "How you doing?" "Read this." "Bring your girlfriend if you can." "Here you go." "Thank you." "It's unfair..." "It's unfair to women." "Here you go." "How's it going?" "Nice to meet you." "Take it, please?" "You going to this?" "Bring as many girls as you can." "It's a good cause." "And it's unfair to women." "Just read it." "What about this guy Bakunin?" ""The passion for destruction is a creative one."" "What is that?" "Yeah. he was a pretty angry guy." "And by the way, also the total opposite of..." " Is this a test?" " Yeah." "This is a test." "The opposite of..." "Marxist communism?" "See?" "Now you know more than I do." "Good." "Want to take a break?" "I need a beer." "You want a beer?" "No." "You actually don't know more than I do." "We have six chapters left." "What are you doing?" "Of course." "It's funny." "I never did any work in high school." " Really?" " You're not surprised." "Hey, I didn't say that." "I feel bad I did so little work." "I mean, I got Bs and Cs." "I didn't fail anything." "Probably should have." "So, your high school days were spent mostly what?" "Um... partying." "Swimming, running." " You know." " Girls." "Yeah, definitely girls." "Yeah." "You and I had diametrically opposed high school experiences." "What do you mean?" "Well, if in high school you were Bakunin... all right?" "Then I was Marx." "I understand." " OK, you got that side?" " Yeah." " Does that look straight?" " Yeah." "It looks pretty good." "OK." "I'll pin that up there." "* I could see it in your face *" "* You were in some other place *" "* Something else was calling you *" "* But you couldn't see that we were through *" "* When I was alone I could be there *" "* You and I alone tonight *" "* I can see that *" "Hello?" "Yeah." "Hold on." "It's Julie." " Hey." " Where are you?" "At the health center." "We're having a sit-in." "It's about the morning after pill." "You know, we might end it pretty soon." "Hold on a second." "OK, listen up!" "I have a brochure here we put together a few years ago." "It has instructions on what to do when you get arrested." " Arrested?" " Folks!" "Folks!" "You've got to accept that's a real possibility here." "Maybe Greg is right." "Maybe this isn't the best idea." " What do you mean?" " I've been sitting on ass... my ass for hours, and now you decide this?" "Maybe we could start a petition or write letters." "We could be here for days." "What if nothing happens?" "Or what if we get what we want?" " I don't know why you're having second thoughts, but I'm staying." " Yeah." "Hey!" "The sit-in's still on, right?" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Come on, guys!" "* Are you happy now?" "*" "Felicity!" "Felicity!" " Sorry." "Yeah." "Should Sean and I come down?" "Um... you might as well." "* There's no laughter without the morning after *" "* We'll stay until we get that pill *" "* There's no laughter without the morning after *" "I think it's cool that you came." "Why wouldn't I?" "Because you're having a baby Elena didn't think you would support the morning after pill." "You guys think I'm crazy, don't you, doing what I'm doing?" "No, I just think your life is going to change in ways you can't even imagine." "Excuse me." "Hi." "Uh..." "We just got off the phone with Assistant Dean McDowell." "And apparently... the administration's official response... is no response." "They're not even willing to talk to us." "So we might be here for a while." "Hey, come on, everyone." "Don't give up!" "We're fighting for a cause we couldn't be prouder." "If you can't hear us." "We'll shout a little louder." "Be aggressive!" "Be... be aggressive." "B- e A-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e!" "* We shall not be * * We shall not be moved *" "* We shall not be * * We shall not be moved *" "* Just like a tree that's planted by the water *" "* We shall not be moved *" "* We shall not be * * We shall not be moved *" "* We shall not be * * We shall not be moved *" "* Just like a tree that's planted by the water *" " Oh!" " You suck!" " Oh, I suck?" " You suck!" " You're dead!" " Aah!" " No!" "No!" " Ha ha ha!" "Where are you going?" "You can't walk away!" "Ha!" "Oh!" "You want another beer?" "More beer?" "How much beer is in there?" "How much beer?" "There's two more." "Two more beers, so that means... we gotta go to a bar because there's only two more." "Oh, my God, I'm wickedly kicking your ass... which I've always wanted to do." "Always." "Ow!" "Aah!" "Damn it!" "Ow!" "You did that on purpose!" "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." " I'm very sorry." " Damn it!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't do that on purpose." "I'm so sorry." "Here, you know what?" "Hit me back." " What?" "!" " Just hit me back." " No, I'm not gonna hit you." " Come on." "It's payback." " No." "I'm not gonna hit you." " I hit you, you hit me." "Come on." "You always wanted to kick my ass." "Come on." "No." "I am not going anywhere." "Ma'am, if I..." "How bad was it?" "Bad." "Really, uh... extra, extra bad." "So, no letter of recommendation?" "He's not a fan at the moment." "They're not gonna give in on this, you know." "The trustees give this university..." "millions of dollars every year... and if some old guy says, "Stop giving out aspirin"... then everyone is gonna walk around with a headache." "Whatever happens..." "I'm really sorry about Simmons." "Me, too." "I have to make some calls." "Looks like we're gonna be closed tomorrow." "* I must be fading *" "* Into something that *" "* I have known too well before *" "* Until she's spoken *" "* Then I have to think *" "* Still got quite a ways to go *" "*'Cause you had to know it comes down to... *" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Sorry." "Julie, you should really consider making an appointment with one of those counselors... just to talk to someone." "Anyone you want." "I know." "It's so stupid, but... when I make those tapes to Sally... it just sort of helps." "Just letting it out." "Usually, the less I want to talk about something... the better it feels once I do." "Yeah." "Part of me wants to, but..." "I don't know why I'm so scared." "I just am." "* Before you know it *" "* Another year has passed *" " Ben." " Mmm?" "Are you dead?" "Yeah." "OK." "OK." "This is an emergency." "I'm gonna need some lime juice... some tomato juice... some eggs... and some baking soda." "Why?" "I'm telling you." "This is gonna save our lives." "So we, uh... we sort of got in a fight last night?" "Yeah." "Who won?" "I really don't think it was you." "That's exactly what I was gonna say." "This morning marks the second day of the standoff between students and administration." "Oh, hacky sack." "That's pretty cool." "Did you guys meet at the Renaissance Faire?" "This doesn't feel like a real protest." "Does it?" "It does to my butt." "Come on." "This is important stuff." "This is a serious cause that we're fighting for." "It's not exactly like the old protests in the sixties..." "Right, like where they put flowers in rifles and burned their bras and stuff." "Yeah, but to burn a bra, you've got to wear a bra." "Oh, that's so true." "Ha ha ha!" "Is that your dad?" "Since I started back at the hospital" "John and I have had lunch a couple times." "and he's been kind enough to offer me... a third-year course to teach next semester." "So I was a little surprised when he called today and asked if I might give him some help in resolving this sit-in thing." "And I asked him what this sit-in thing was and he suggested that I look at the newspaper which I did." "The newspaper?" " What page?" " 32." "Now, I understand how important... sweetheart?" "I understand how important this issue is to you... but you're at the health center in the first place because you're being punished... and you don't get out of trouble by getting into more trouble." "That's obvious." "We're asking you, as spokesperson of record... to help bring an end to your demonstration." "In exchange, the administration will conduct a full review of our policy on post-cuital contraception." "A review?" "Look, I talked to Dean Allison myself." "This is the best it's gonna get." "You talked to the dean?" "And the worst... you could lose your position as resident advisor." "You could get expelled or even arrested." "After all this, you could end up with nothing more than a police record." "Now come on." "That's silly." "I want you to go out there and end this thing right now before it gets out of control." "No." "No." "I'm not..." "I won't." "Yeah." "I might get in trouble for this." "I might get expelled or arrested." " That's my choice." " I will not sit here and watch you do that to yourself!" "It's not just me, Dad." "I'm not the only one out there!" "This isn't like the Rollerblades." "You can't just take it away or make it stop because you want it to!" "I'm not a kid anymore." "I know you're not." "Thank you for the offer... but I really do think this is a bad policy... and everyone out there wants a change and I don't think..." "I don't think a review's going to work." "Greg, would you please explain to" "Felicity what you were telling me before?" "No, I won't." "She's right." "She's right, and you know she's right." "I have asked for a thousand things here... free flu shots." "Needle-exchange programs." "They're all in review." "They all get stuck in review." "I'm with you." "I'm with the sit-in." "Felicity, the news is here..." "TV cameras and everything, and they want to talk to you." "Excuse me." "Hi." "I'm Felicity Porter." "Sue Morgan, WPED." "Could I get you on camera for a few questions" " about why you're all here today?" " Yeah." "Can I..." " can I just have just a minute?" " Sure." "You guys, I cannot talk on TV." " I'm so nervous." "I'm sweating already." " Just relax." " Maybe you could talk about your experience." " No, no" "If my parents found out I was even having sex they'd fly to new York to kill me." "You did such a good job talking to those people downstairs." " You can totally do this." " I got an ulcer doing that." "Felicity, just relax." "You can do it." "Focus." " Just focus." " OK." "It can't be that hard, right?" "All right." "And what was the point of Marx's response?" "sometimes the ends justify the means." "Good." "We're done." "Now, just promise me we'll never have to study together again." " I promise." " OK." "We're protesting our university's decision to stop the distribution of the morning after pill." "And why is this issue so important to you, personally?" " Do you see this, too?" " Yeah." "Well." "It's... it..." "It's about women, you know, having the right." "It's about choice, and, um... if I were, um... you know, if I needed to..." "Could I start over?" " No, you can't start over." "You're live." " Oh, my God." "Um, OK." "It's important, you know, for a lot of reasons... one of which being that, um, well, uh..." "Comfort." "Can you explain that?" "Well, for students that have been raped, for example." "you feel really confused and... and scared... when... if you go through something like this." "I mean, I know because I did." "Um... and it's only natural for students... to want to go to their college health center... you know?" "'Cause the last thing... the very last thing you would want to imagine... is that you got pregnant from that rape." "Last year, they... they actually..." "The university health center, they did... they distributed the pill, and, um... it was one less thing I had to worry about." "But." "Um..." "I don't know." "Now, because of some trustees... misunderstanding of how important this pill is... they've decided not to give them out... and, God." "That is so wrong." "Not just for women that have been raped... but for all women and their partners..." "You know, for everyone." "It's just... it's so wrong... and that's why this is so important." "Well." "Good luck to you." "I'm Sue Morgan reporting live." "Back to you, Ken." " Did I just say that?" " Oh, my God." "Was it OK?" "Julie, you were so great." " Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." "OK, someone's got to take a shower in here or I got to get out of here." "One or the other." "Thanks." "Seriously." "That was... a giant, unexpected gift." "There's been so many things that I wanted to change but I never made the decision to act." "So thank you." "Greg." "It's Dean Allison for you." "I'll take it in my office." "Hello?" "Yes, sir." "No, not, uh... not very." "He says he saw Julie on TV." "What's he saying?" "Actually, no, I don't understand." "He called you and told you that?" "One of the trustees saw Julie on TV, too." "What's he saying?" "OK." "Absolutely." "I understand." "Uh... yes." "Thank you." "I..." "The same to Dr. Simmons." " OK." " What?" "Good-bye." "Apparently this was all a big misunderstanding." "What?" "They're backpedaling." "You won." " We won?" " We won." "Oh, my God!" "We... we should go tell everyone else." "Yes." " I liked your cheer." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Hey." "Everybody." "Listen up!" "Listen up, everybody!" "Here." "Um, thanks to everyone here... especially Julie Emrick..." "They caved." "* Lately, there's been a change in me *" "* And I'm not sure if I can handle it *" "* Every day has a different way *" "* To tear me apart just a little bit *" " She kissed you, didn't she?" " What?" "Yeah." "I can see it all over your face." "That's not fair." "I do all the cooking', and you end up with the cake?" "Felicity and Greg." "Can you believe that?" "I'm gonna kill her." "You want to dance?" "* I just can't seem to release *" "* Not what I wanted." "Not what I need *" "* Not what I wanted." "Not what I need *" "* Not what I wanted."
