"So, what's up?" "Look, it's just...." "I mean, Chloe always has a new kiss, or a new date... or something cool and a great scene with Lennon." " He is pretty cute, isn't he?" " Yeah, I guess." "Whatever." "All Riley ever gets to do... is give shots to sick people and join a debate team." "Look, the writers work really hard to make Riley and Chloe different." "Please." "Chloe gets to go to parties." "Riley gets to take a bus of elderly ballroom dancing." "You know, some actors would kill for that storyline." "They don't ballroom dance on Buffy." "All I'm saying is that we have to make Riley a little more edgy..." "I mean, give her another side." "Why can't Riley have a cute guy in her life, too?" "Then you need to do what I do." "You need to talk to the writers." "You're right." "I'm going to the writers right now... and I'm going to discuss my character." "Big mistake." "When I said, you know, you need to talk to the writers..." "I meant you need to send them a memo." "You know writers, they understand that black and white thing." " Send a memo?" " That's what I do." "[Rock song plays]" "Hey, guys, it's Ashley." "You'll find the memo somewhere in the basket." "Enjoy." "And more dating things for Chloe." "Thanks." "Glad we had this talk." "[Theme song plays]" "[Upbeat instrumental music]" " Is it possible to get some water?" " Sure." "[Telephone rings]" "Water's behind the counter." "Help yourself, sugar." "Hi, the usual, please." "You do realize I don't know you?" "Decaf mocha." "And can I have a blueberry muffin, please?" "Sorry, all out." " Biscotti?" " No." "No biscotti." "I start every morning with a blueberry muffin." "I eat the muffin top, drink half my mocha... eat the muffin body, finish my mocha, and then polish off the crumbs." "Is there someone I can call?" "A friend, a relative?" "No, I think I can deal." "LENNON:" "Here." "CHLOE:" "Thanks." "Don't pay me." "Thanks." "Chloe, are we trying to steal coffee?" "You couldn't wait for the 13th cup to be free?" "Bad girl." "He actually said it was on the house." " He does not work here." " He doesn't?" " Not funny." " Actually, it was sort of funny." "Look, I just want to sit here and enjoy my mocha before class." "Please go ahead, sit." " You're kind of in my seat." " Your seat?" "I always sit here." "I'm sorry, there was no way I could've known." "They all look alike." "When I was in England, at Buckingham Palace..." "I knew to stay out of the queen's chair... because it was the one with all the jewels, the fine upholstery... the bobbies guarding it." "And yeah, they called it a throne." " Who are you?" " Lennon Kincaid." " And you?" " Chloe Carlson." "Chloe, just so you don't go on hating me:" "your chair." "Well, now it just seems stupid." "My point." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "What's in the book bag?" "Books." "Everybody's doing it." "So, where'd you put it?" "Put what?" "You're such a kidder." "Don't even pretend like you forgot my birthday." "You're on to me, Larry." "I can't keep this charade up any longer." "Of course I didn't forget." "Good, because you know I always open your present first." "Ever since we were little kids, remember?" "It's right over here." "Happy birthday!" "Look, I put a cherry on top, too." "Well, half a cherry." "Riley, stop kidding around." "If you don't like the fruit cup... you can always trade it for the mini hash browns." "You forgot my birthday." "No, Larry, I didn't forget your birthday." "I can't believe this." "Your present always put the "happy" in "happy birthday."" "And now it's just "birthday."" "Happy?" "[Soft instrumental music]" "You again?" "Let me guess." "Your lifeguard stand?" "No, it's not mine." "And it's not a lifeguard stand." "I wrote that when I was 10, okay?" " What are you reading?" " A travel book on Indonesia." "Me and my dad are leaving for Borneo in a few days." "He's going to shoot orangutans for National Geographic." "Then we're off to Australia, after that, New Guinea." "How about you?" "Travel much?" "Me and my sister went whale-watching off the coast of..." "Santa Barbara." " And we visited an aunt who lives abroad." " Canada?" "If you're gonna mock me, I don't see the point in staying here." "I wouldn't leave." "It's going to rain." "Rain?" "I don't think so." "You can feel the negative ions just before heavy rainfall." "The temperature drops... and there's this wonderful state of peace and serenity." "All is right with everything." "Whatever." "[Thunder cracking]" "All is right with everything." "Hungry?" "My muffin." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" " So, who took your muffin?" " The new guy:" "Lennon." "[Mocking Lennon's name]" ""Hi, I'm Lennon, I've been around the world." "I'm so cool."" "I hope Lennon is into you as much as you're into him." " I am not into him." "Okay?" " Okay." "So into him." "Chloe, I can tell when you like a guy." "You get all stupid." "I don't get stupid." "And if I was into him, which I'm not... would I be able to go up to another guy and do this?" "Hey, Friday night wanna hang at the mall or something?" "Cool." "Chloe, you just asked out Janitor Gus." "Stupid." "[Grunts exasperatedly]" "Cammie, what's wrong?" "Just had an audition for Buffy, and I didn't get the part." "It was going really well, too, until I bit the director." "This Method acting." "Well, I'm about to cheer you up." "There's Larry." "I'm going to take you over and the rest is up to you." "Look who wants to have lunch with you:" "Cammie Morton." "Hi, Larry." "Now, you two won't believe how much you guys have in common." "I mean, Larry, did you know Cammie's an actress?" "And Cammie, did you know Larry watches TV?" "Now, tell me that is not in the stars." "Okay." "So, enjoy each other... and enjoy the hummus." "I so feel a vibe here." "Riley's right." "We are made for each other." "Favorite color on three." "One, two, three." "CAMMIE:" "Blue." "LARRY:" "Riley." "Favorite band on three." "One, two, three." "CAMMIE:" "Blink-182." "LARRY:" "Riley." "[Sighs]" "Favorite Carlson sister on three." "One, two, three." "BOTH:" "Riley." "There's that vibe again." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "You're gonna love Kim." "She's a really cool girl." "I don't know." "Perhaps it's the child in me that believed... that you and Mrs. Carlson would work these problems out." "I love you both very much." "We love you too, Manny." "Hold me." "No." "[Knocking on door]" "BOTH:" "Hey!" "I don't know if you made plans for dinner... but I already had my office take care of it." "I apologize in advance, because I'm in the middle of a huge negotiation... so my cell could ring at any minute." "Sit tight." "Kim here." "Is she great or what?" "Does she not remind you of somebody?" "Hi, Mr. Jake, I thought that you and the young Miss Kim... were going to eat sushi." "I'm sorry." "I thought you were somebody else." "No, it's just me, Macy's boyfriend." "Hey!" "Manny, Kyle's telling you his story?" "It's pretty amazing." "Let me guess." "A short time ago you were very successful." "Dude, you have no idea." "I'm running this major blue chip company." "I mean, hundreds of thousands of our shares are traded daily." "Then one day I wake up and say to myself:" ""Kyle, there's got to be more out there."" "So he sells the business, sells the house and...." "Go ahead." "Tell him where you live." "He's gonna die." "Dude, I sleep in a VW van." "Can I talk to you for one "momentetito"?" "Does this young beachcomber remind you of anybody you know?" "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "Hi, Cheryl." "I decided to get my morning blueberry muffin tonight." " Not taking any chances." " I just sold the last one." " Let go of my muffin." " Are you kidding me?" "Hi, how you doing?" "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "Hey, guys." "Don't thank me." "Just seeing your happy faces is enough thanks for me." "I'm not seeing happy faces?" "Come on." "Happy." "All day:" "Riley this and Riley that." "Then Larry says, "Let's go to the mall."" "I said, "Okay, as long as it's not for Riley."" "And he said it wasn't." "When we got there he snuck off." "And tell her, Larry, tell her what you did." "I bought you socks." "Chenille." "I feel so rejected." "But I'm an actress, so I'm quite used to it." "And as my mother once said to me:" ""Cammie, men."" "That's it?" "She's from Europe and speaks very little English." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "LENNON:" "How about we share the muffin?" "Or, how about I get this one and you get one on your trip?" "I'm sure they have a Starbucks in Borneo." "Why are you laughing?" "It's kind of fun to watch you get so worked up." "Here's this girl Chloe and she has her morning routine." "She has to have her muffin." "Must have it." "Watch out, she didn't get her muffin!" "Loosen up, don't be so predictable." " You think I'm predictable?" " A little." "Well then, you don't know me at all." "So, how's that for predictable?" "I knew you were gonna do that." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "Kim, you're gonna love this place." " Let's go someplace else." " Why?" "My wife, I mean my ex...." "She's here." "Relax." "I run into my ex-husbands all the time." "We were just coming over to say hi." "Kim, this is Macy." " Hi." " Hello." "[Phone rings]" "Mine." "[Phone rings]" "Mine." "Hello?" "Hey, man." " Nice sandals." " Yeah, thanks." "You, too." "No, absolutely not." "That cannot happen." "How many times do I have to tell you.... ...because that's what happens." "You know what?" "It comes over and over...." "Great." "Fax it over, I'll sign it." "That's great." "Okay, bye." " Sorry about that." " No, I love watching you work." "I find high-powered women very attractive." "I have a three-hour block on Tuesday." "We could do something spontaneous then." "Let me check my schedule." "Yeah, I'm free." "That's what I love about you." "You're such a free spirit." "I just can't get enough of you." "You know, I just need to make one call." "Boy, that soy milk goes right through you." " Kim seems really nice." " Yeah." "So does Kyle." "Let me do it." "Right there." "You're always such a mess." "And you're always so together." "What about our dates?" "I think... they're perfect for each other." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "I just wanted to let you know... that it killed me that I forgot your birthday." "It's okay." "I have another one next year." "No." "I'm not being fair to you." "I mean, this was your special day and you're buying me presents?" "Did you not like the socks?" "Of course I did." "Then what's the problem?" "Larry, I think the world of you." "I'm not liking the way this is going." "Maybe we should order some scones." "Waitress." "I just think you deserve more than I can give you." "Anything that you give me is enough." "Okay?" "You know how I feel about you." "I've felt this way since we were little kids." "Remember, on my birthday, how you used to come over and wake me?" "It was 5:00 a.m., but you always had to be the first... to wish me happy birthday." "[Sentimental instrumental music]" "RILEY:" "And no matter what I ga ve you, you always asked if it was a pony." "LARRY:" "I really wanted a pony." "I used to ha ve this dream... where me and you would sit on the pony and ride it to school... down the halls and into English class." "Everyone would be like:" ""Wow!" "Look at Larry with Riley." "How cool is he."" "RILEY:" "But I never got you that pony." "LARRY:" "I didn't care." "It didn't matter what you ga ve me." "As long as I got that hug." "[Sentimental instrumental music continues]" " I miss those hugs." " I do, too." "But those two kids have grown up." "I mean, the girl you're chasing is that girl, and not me." "I can't be that little girl anymore." "For the love of God, can I please get a scone!" "Look, if you keep having the same feelings for me... and I can't return them... then sooner or later someone's gonna start hating the other one." "And I know neither of us wants that." "I don't want that." "Someone's out there for you." "Someone who's gonna return those feelings." "And me, I'll always be your friend." "And one day you'll realize... that's just as special." "Maybe more." "Happy birthday." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "You look happy." "Life is good." "[Speaking French]" "We have a new student." "[Madame Jenkins continues speaking French]" "Hey." "But this is my school." "My muffin." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "DIRECTOR:" "And cut!" "I will, I'll let you know how it goes." "MAN:" "Robin, put that down." "I sent a memo to the writers..." "RILEY: about giving Riley cool things to do." "CHLOE:" "And?" "And all they have her doing in this week's episode... is painting the school cafeteria." "That's not bad." "At least you get to eat Jell-O." "You're okay with that." "Chloe gets a moonlit stroll on the beach with Lennon." "Okay, listen, you have to learn how to talk to people." "Here comes the writer now." "Be nice, smile, and talk to him." "Hi, how are you today?" "I really love your shirt." " Thanks." "Ashley gave it to me." "Hey, you." " Hi." " The muffins were delicious." " Good." " Enjoy your moonlit stroll." " Thanks." "[Upbeat instrumental music]" "[Theme song plays]" "SDH subtitles conformed by SOFTITLER" "English" " SDH"
