Opening Credits

[SCENE – Mr. Turner’s Classroom. Cory is reading aloud from his book to the class. Topanga, Shawn, and Frankie are there. Turner listens from his desk.]

Cory: (Reading from book) “And in the night, he searches. And in the day, he searches. And on the morrow, he will search. Close. Reaching. Yet it will not be found. And he knows that.”

Turner: Nice passion, Matthews, very nice. (Stands) Hey, Hunter! (Walks over to Shawn, who is sleeping atop two desks pushed together) Hey! (Taps Shawn to wake him) How were you affected by that reading?

Shawn: (In his sleep) I don’t wanna go to school, daddy. Cory’s reading poetry.

Turner: (Sternly) You get your butt out of that bed and get to class!

Shawn: (Still sleeping) Okay… okay. (Eyes closed, stands up clumsily and stumbles out of the class)

Turner: (Deadpan, to self) Gee, I wonder what’s gonna happen. (Notices Frankie raising his hand) Frankie, do it buddy.

(Cory returns to his seat)

Frankie: What the poet is saying in this beautiful piece, (to Cory) very movingly read, I might add…

Cory: Hey. (Salutes)

Frankie: ...is that sometimes we love and though it seems that the object of our love is within reach, it does not reciprocate and so we must keep reaching.

Cory: (To Turner) It’s not about a doggy?

Topanga: (Turns back to Cory, putting a finger to his lips) Shh, honey, don’t speak.

Turner: (To Frankie) Outstanding, Stecchino, outstanding. Anything else.

Frankie: (With finality) Yes, thank you.

(The bell rings. Everyone but Turner, Cory, and Frankie exits. Turner turns to his desk and Cory approaches Frankie)

Cory: Uh, Frankie, why the sad puss, O King of poetry?

Frankie: I’m afraid that the poem you so eloquently read…

Cory: Hey. (Salutes)

Frankie: …about someone who reaches out for an unattainable love hits a little to closely to home.

Cory: Why, Francis Albert Stecchino! Have you been struck by Cupid’s arrow? (Sits on an adjacent desk)

Frankie: (Sadly) Alas, there are deep and turbulent waters within my soul.

(Enter Shawn, appearing dazed)

Shawn: I don’t know where I am.

Cory: (To Shawn, deadpan) Sit, darling, have a nap. (Shawn sits next to Cory)

Turner: (Approaches Frankie) Hey, Stecchino, you’re doing a heck of a job in class. Now, can you save these two guys? (Exits, Frankie stands to exit as well)

Cory: Uh, Frankie! Frankie, y’know, it sounds like we have the basis for a little negotiation here.

Frankie: I’m listening.

Cory: You help us with poetry, and we will help you with your love situation.

Frankie: Let me consider. Okay, the conditions for your deal have been accepted.

Shawn: Good, so, Frankie, who’s the girl that’s doing the damage?

Frankie: I will tell you… (Cory & Shawn lean in intently) But not here. And not now.

[SCENE – Frankie’s house. Frankie, Cory, and Shawn are in the living room. Shawn inspects a book shelf]

Cory: Now Frankie, how can we help you if you won’t tell us who it is?

(The door swings open and Vader, Frankie’s father, tosses a red bag in. He enters followed by Herman, Frankie’s little brother)

Vader: Frankie I’m home.

Frankie: Father, it is good to see you! May I show you my most recent edition to the Norton Anthology Collection of Modern Poetry? (Holds out a book)

Vader: You and that poetry! (Pushes book away) You could’ve been somebody. You could’ve been a Sumo!

Frankie: (Dejectedly) Sorry I’m such a disappointment to you.

Vader: Me and your brother Herman were at the gym, he’s gonna be a wrestler like his father. (Barks proudly at Herman)

Herman: Yes, I will carry on the Stecchino wrestling tradition. Although, my barking must improve. Woof, woof!

Cory: He said “woof”! Isn’t that cute?

Vader: (Approaching Cory) I remember you, little man. You’re in my son’s poetry class. You’re a bad influence! (Leans in uncomfortably close) I should crush you like garlic and put you in my spaghetti.

Cory: That’s what you said to Psycho Sid at the Spectrum that night you power-bombed him through the mat.

Vader: You were there?

Cory: I never miss a match.

Vader: (Turns to Frankie) Now you see, Frankie? This boy’s a fan! (Grabs Cory by the neck and draws him near) I like this boy, why can’t you be this boy? (Exits barking, as does Herman who yips like a small dog as he exits)

Frankie: (Quietly) And yet I love you, father. (Steps to the side)

Shawn: Oh my gosh, Cory! (Runs close to Cory) I just realized who it is that Frankie loves who doesn’t love him back.

Cory: Yeah, me too.

Shawn: (Excitedly) Amy Lee Reynolds!

Cory: (Sarcastically) Yeah, Amy Lee Reynolds. Come here. (Flicks Shawn on the head) It’s his father! (They turn to look at Frankie, who’s sadly reading a book in the corner)

[SCENE – John Adams High hallway. Cory and Topanga stand at Cory’s locker and Cory reads a piece of paper]

Cory: (Reading) “Someone is turning sweet sixteen, and it you could be there it would be keen.”

Topanga: (Very quickly) My mom wrote that! It’s silly, it’s dumb, I can’t believe it, Ugh! Sweet sixteen  party, it’s embarrassing, I’m sorry you even have to read this.

Cory: Topanga?

Topanga: Yes, Cory?

Cory: Slow down, honey, separate your words.

Topanga: Okay, I’ll try. Please come to my sweet sixteen. It doesn’t mean to me, but it means a lot to my mom. So what do I tell my mother?

Cory: Am I your boyfriend?

Topanga: Yes, you are.

Cory: Then I’ll be there.

Topanga: You’re the best. (Kisses Cory, walks away)

Cory: (To self) Yeah, when I’m on my game, no one can touch me. (Walks away)

[SCENE – Frankie’s house. Frankie is educating Cory and Shawn about poetry. Frankie is standing holding a book why Cory and Shawn sit at the table and look terribly bored.]

Frankie: Gentlemen, the key to any poem is to put yourself in the mind of the poet. A quiet place. A reflective place.

(Enter Vader)

Vader: (Shouting) It’s time! IT’S TIME!! It’s Vader time! I got it! I got my rematch with Jake the Snake, and the chump’s going down! (Barks) ROOF! (Exits to bedrooms)

Frankie: (Turns back to Cory and Shawn) A place where you can see what the poet sees. Where you can feel what the poet feels.

Cory: Uh, wait a minute, Frankie. (Stands) Why don’t you do that with your father? Y’know, see what he sees, feel what he feels.

Frankie: My father is not a poet. He is a professional wrestler, villain category with the World Wrestling Federation.

Shawn: No, no, Frankie, talk to him about what he loves.

Frankie: You mean my brother Herman?

Shawn: No, I was talking about wrestling.

Cory: Yeah, we’ll even help you, okay?

Frankie: (Slight pause) Your gesture of friendship is very moving.

Cory: Okay. Okay, here he comes. Now, his famous move is called the Vader Bomb. Tell him he’s setting it up too slowly.

(Enter Vader from the bedrooms, carrying a bag)

Frankie: Dad! I have a wrestling notion.

Vader: (Incredulously) You have a wrestling tip for me? Bring it on! BRING IT ON!!

Frankie: (Meekly) I think the Vader Bomb would be best achieved if it was set up… (Turns to Cory, whispering) What? Slowly, quicker, what?

Cory: (Whispering) Quicker.

Frankie: (To Vader) Quicker.

Vader: I knew something was wrong with the bomb. Keep those tips coming. I want you ringside at the fight tomorrow. Good boy, Frankie. Good boy. (Squeezes Frankie’s cheek affectionately, pumps his fist, and exits)

Frankie: (Turns to Cory and Shawn, grinning) Can I hug you guys now?

Cory & Shawn: (Shrug) Sure. (They all hug)

[SCENE – John Adams High hallway. Frankie enters and sees Cory and Shawn]

Frankie: Hey! (Does an odd little dance move) If it looks like I got a little spring in my step it’s because I do. And I have you to thank for it. I’m starting to win the love of my father. We talk about wrestling, sure, but at least we talk.

Cory: No charge, Frankie.

Frankie: See you tomorrow night?

Cory: Tomorrow night it is.

(Frankie walks away)

Shawn: Cory, you don’t got tomorrow night.

Cory: (Runs to catch Frankie) Uh, Frankie! Frankie! Wait, wait, what exactly is tomorrow night?

Frankie: The most important night of my life, see ya then.

Shawn: What specifically, Frankie?

Frankie: It is when my father fights Jake the Snake Roberts, the winner is in line for a shot at the belt against Sean Michaels at Madison Square Garden. He wants me at ringside to give him tips, that means I need someone like you at my side to give me tips.

Cory: Someone like me, but not “me” me since I have Topanga’s sixteenth birthday to go to, which means nothing at all to her except everything in the world is you listen closely, but I can’t make it. Sorry, bud.

Shawn: (Frankie turns to him) Hey, I know very little about wrestling except when I’m playing Twister with the McClusky triplets.

Frankie: (Paces forward and speaks to himself somberly) I walk alone. Alone I walk. No father among me. Without a father I am. (Glances sadly back at Cory and Shawn)

Cory: (After a pause, uncomfortably) I’ll be there.

Frankie: (Suddenly happily) I know. Do you wanna know why I know?

Cory: (Exasperated) Because I want everybody to love me?

Frankie: I’ve noticed that. But I was gonna say it’s because you have a good heart. (Exits)

Shawn: (To Cory) Topanga is gonna kill you.

Cory: Shawn, you underestimate her.

Shawn: She’s gonna want you at that party, man. Women aren’t forgiving about that kind of thing.

Cory: Okay, Topanga will forgive. I mean, Topanga’s not just any woman, here. (Notices that Topanga enters and goes towards the lockers)

Shawn: I bet you a buck she flips out.

Cory: It’s your money, Leroy. (Goes over to Topanga with Shawn behind him) Ah, Topanga! Sweetheart, listen, there may be slight chance I won’t be able to come…

Topanga: (Before Cory finishes, very quickly) I’ll just die. I’ll just die. Cory, I know I said it’s not important but it means everything. I only turn sixteen once, Cory, you have to be there, was have to dance at the party together. My parents danced together at my mom’s sweet sixteen so we have to, too.

Cory: (Taken aback but trying to hide it) Topanga, am I your boyfriend?

Topanga: Yes, you are.

Cory: Then I’ll be there.

Topanga: I know you will and you wanna know why I know?

Cory: Because I’ve got a good heart?

Topanga: Well, I was going to say it’s because you want everyone to love you but, yeah, because you have a good heart. (Kisses Cory, and as she does, Cory passes a dollar to Shawn behind his back)

[SCENE – The Matthews’ living room. Cory and Shawn enter from outside.]

Cory: Why do these kinds of things always happen to me?

Shawn: ‘Cause You’re a good guy, Cory, these things happen to good guys. (Shuts door)

Cory: Well, that’s very nice of you to say, Shawn, but I better be real good to be two places at once.

Shawn: It must and will be done. (Reaches into backpack)

Cory: What, you have the technology?

Shawn: (Holds up a cassette tape) Right here, right now. (Pops tape into VCR) Cory, the need to be in two places at once is a dilemma that dates back thousands of years. Lucky for you, I am a student in such matters.

Cory: So what’s this? An instructional, Deepak-Chopera, Venus-and-Mars, buy-real-estate, no-money-down, ab-reducer, juice-tiger kind of thing?

Shawn: It’s the Flintstones.

Cory: I was gonna say that.

Shawn: (Begins rewinding tape) This is a classic episode where Fred has to be at Pebbles’ birthday party and the big bash at in Water Buffalo Lodge at the same night. (They sit on the coffee table and lean towards the TV intently)

Cory: Ooh, I remember being very nervous during this one.

Shawn: Yeah, it’s quite a dilemma for our prehistoric friend, let’s watch. (Plays tape, through which there are cartoonish sound effects. Pulls out a pointer and taps the screen) Alright, Fred Flintstone. Nice guy, big feet, just like you.

Cory: And he’s got a best friend.

Shawn: That’s right. Barney, that’s me. Watch Fred’s technique. Let’s go frame by frame. (Freezes cartoon, cutting sound effects) Here he is backing out of the Water Buffalo Lodge, now he’s taking off his Water Buffalo helmet. That’s key.

Cory: Huh. A simple costume change and he fools everybody.

Shawn: (Fast forwards some) Now here he arrives at Pebbles’ birthday party, correctly attired, and no one’s the wiser. Now I’ve calculated your distances, and the Flintstone’s scenario is doable in your case.

Cory: Now I assume you had a fallback plan?

Shawn: Johnny Quest, but then you would need Haji and a hovercraft. (Cory nods) Okay, Topanga’s Sweet Sixteen is a mere three tenths of a mile away from Vader’s wrestling match.

Cory: Alright, what’s our time constraint?

Shawn: I’m on that, too. Fred never more than 75 seconds at either location.

Cory: Yeah, but you see Shawn, that was a cartoon. Time was compressed. We’re real, we’re in real time.

Shawn: Trust me, it’s the same thing.

Cory: No, not it’s not. You see, a television show can cover many days in only one half-an-hour program.

Shawn: (Grinning) Trust me, it’s the same thing.

Cory: (Shrugs) Okay!

Shawn: (Talking of the video again) Now, here comes tragedy. Fred arrives at Pebbles’ party and he’s wearing his Water Buffalo helmet. Wilma gets what’s going on, here she comes with a frying pan, and… (“THWANG!” cartoon sound effect followed by a falling whistle)

Cory: Well, we can’t let that happen, Barney. (Holds out his hand)

Shawn: I’m here for you, Fred. (Shakes Cory’s hand)

[SCENE – Vader’s wrestling match. There is an enormous crowd cheering and screaming around a ring, which contains Jake the Snake, a ref, and the commentator. The commentator, bright red and wearing a white suit, describes everything that happens. TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: Anything additional will be noted]

Commentator: He is the man! He is VADER!! (Vader enters, in costume, followed by Cory, Frankie, and Shawn in Vader t-shirts. The four of them walk through the croad towards the ring.) There he is, there is the man, the one and only Vader. (Vader barks at the crowd) He has his son right there, Frankie, along with Cory and Shawn. They are his special advisors for this match up because if Vader is victorious it puts him in line for a title shot at Madison Square Garden. (Vader throws a chair into the ring) Oh, yeah! Vader looks to be in tremendous form! He is here to impress his son, Frankie. He has something to prove!! And he plans on proving it tonight! (Cory, Shawn, and Frankie enter the ring) Oh, yes! There they are in the ring. Well, there’s Vader’s son in the ring, Cory and Shawn. They are taunting Jake “the Snake” Roberts. On the other side of the ring Jake the Snake, he’s got the snake!! (It’s a huge yellow snake, Cory and Shawn hold each other in fear) He’s got the snake, they better watch out! (Vader steps between Jake the Snake and Frankie, Cory, and Shawn) Frankie, Cory, and Shawn, they don’t know where to go! Get the snake out of the ring! The snake does not belong in the wrestling ring! (Cory, Shawn, and Frankie get out of the ring) Vader wants to know who the man is. (Vader & Jake the Snake begin to fight) I know who the man is, the man is Vader! The fans here would like to see Jake the Snake DDT Vader! It had to be… (Fades out)

(Shawn taps his watch and shows Cory, the two run to exit)

Frankie: Hey, where you going?

Cory: Uh, we forgot to buy programs.

Shawn: Yeah, you can’t tell the players apart without programs. (Exits with Cory)

Frankie: (Turns to ring, to himself) My father, not my father. How hard could this be?

[SCENE – Topanga’s Sweet Sixteen. Cory and Shawn enter running, just putting on their coats. Shawn stashes their bag behind a decorative tree and Cory walks into the crowd, behind Topanga, pretending to mingle. He sees Topanga and turns to her.]

Cory: Topanga, there you are. I have been looking all over for you. I mean, I’ve been here for twenty minutes and I couldn’t find you because of the size of this turnout. I mean, a person could get lost in here. But there I go, running off at the mouth, keeping you from mingling with your interesting guests. Well, off you go. Mingle. Mingle mingle!

Shawn: (Whispering to Cory from behind the tree) Seventy-five! (Cory makes a face)

Topanga: Cory, I know I said a lot about this not meaning anything, but the truth is now that the time’s here and we’re about to share that special dance I realized how important a moment like this is in our lives.

Cory: Well, I realized that, too, in fact I…

Shawn: (From behind the tree, whispering and interrupting) Wrap it up !

Cory: (Makes a face) The end. (Rushes away)

Topanga: Where are you going?

Cory: Uh, Topanga. Topanga, your Aunt Ruthie, she’s over there. (Shepherds Topanga towards her aunt) And for how long, no one knows. (Sits Topanga next to her) In fact, no one knows how long any of us are gonna be… here. (Abruptly stops and walks away towards Shawn)

Shawn: That was crazy.

Cory: I don’t even know what I said. Shirts?

Shawn: (Hands a shirt to Cory) Check.

Cory: Masks?

Shawn: (Holds up a mask) Check.

Cory: Alright, let’s go! (They exit running)

[SCENE – Vader’s wrestling match. Vader is getting beaten when Shawn and Cory enter, running, wearing the Vader t-shirts and masks. They join Frankie ringside]

Frankie: Where have you been?

Cory: Uh, your Aunt Ruthie, she’s over there, and…

Shawn: (To Cory) Other place!

Cory: (To Frankie) Uh, we had to buy Vader masks. And the people and the line and… What?!

Frankie: Gimme something!
[The shot cuts up to the ring, where Vader is getting beaten by Jake the Snake]

Commentator: Frankie looking on, he has to be worried. His father is not looking too good in the ring right now against Jake the Snake. Frankie has got to be concerned! (Vader falls) Their advice has not been paying off! (Jake swirls his hand in the air over Vader)

Cory: (To Frankie) Jake’s moving in for the DDT. Tell your dad to counter or he’s a goner.

Frankie: (Calling out to the ring) Watch out for the DDT, dad!

Commentator: The crowd chanting for the DDT! (Vader slowly stands) They want the DDT! (Vader shoves Jake the Snake into the corner) Oh, but Vader counters! It must have been the advice from Frankie!

Shawn: (Looks at watch) (To Cory) Seventy-five. (They start to leave)

Frankie: Hey! Where are you going?

Cory: Frankie! I… I…

Shawn: (To Cory) Wrap it up!

Cory: The end. (Exits with Shawn, running)

[SCENE – Topanga’s Sweet Sixteen. Cory and Shawn arrived, rushed. Cory is fully changed into his suit, except he is still wearing his Vader mask.]

Cory: You know, this is almost too easy, Barney.

Shawn: Don’t get cocky, that’s where mistakes happen, my friend. (Pats Cory’s back)

Cory: Okay, I’m off to mix. (Steps forward)

Shawn: Cory, wait wait wait! (Stops Cory)

Cory: What? What?

Shawn: Have a good time, man.

Cory: Thanks. (Turns around)

Shawn: Take off the mask.

Cory: (Pulls the mask off, then turns to Shawn, agitated) You’re supposed to catch this stuff!

Shawn: Hey, anybody could’ve missed that. (Takes the mask, hides behind the tree)

Cory: (Walks over to Topanga, who is getting punch) Where have you been?

Topanga: Me?

Cory: Yes, you. I have been back and forth across this room, must’ve been twenty times lookin’ for ya. A guy gets worried is what happens.

Topanga: Cory, you’re out of breath.

Cory: Looking for you. But I found ya. And you’re here and now I can breathe easy.

Topanga: I’m sorry.

Cory: Accepted. See ya later. (Begins rushing away)

Topanga: What? Where are you going?

Cory: Uh… nowhere! Because there’s still the matter of that special dance that’s so important to you… me… us!

Topanga: I’m glad it means something to you too, Cory.

Cory: …puh…

Topanga: I’ll go ask the DJ. (Walks away)

Shawn: (Jumps out from behind the tree) Cory! I’ve been watching the match on that TV over there. Jake is taking the snake out of the bag. (Cory turns to view the TV)

Cory: (Turns back to Shawn) That means Vader’s history.

Shawn: Without our help he is.

Cory: Okay, there and back, but if we don’t get back before this song starts, I’m history. (Exits with Shawn)

(Topanga steps away from the DJ as the music stops and the special Sweet Sixteen song begins. She goes to where Cory was and looks around, confused. She folds her arms, feeling embarrassed because everyone is dancing with someone except for her)

[SCENE – Vader’s wrestling match. Jake the Snake drops Vader to the floor and Cory and Shawn enter, running, and join Frankie ringside]

Commentator: Oh, no! Vader hasn’t got… (fades out)

Frankie: (To Cory and Shawn) Your tips are not working! My father will surely lose the match and I will lose his love forever.

Cory: No, no. My tips are gold, okay? Your dad’s gonna turn this match around any second. (Just then, Jake the Snake knocks Vader head over heels out of the ring. Frankie rushed to his side)

Frankie: Father, father! Are you alright? Give me a woof!

Vader: (Breathing heavily) I’ve got nothing, boy. I’m losing my shot at the belt! This is where… the beaten… fighter looks into the crowd… at the one… person… who can give him… the inspiration… to go on. Now what do you got for me, boy?

Frankie: (Turns back to Cory and Shawn) What do you got for me, boy?

Cory: Sorry, Frankie, I’m all out of ideas.

Frankie: (Turns back to Vader) Father, I have no tips about pile drivers or scoop slams. All I have is the love of a son for his father. For no matter the outcome of this match, you will always be champion of the world in my heart.

Vader: Would it be okay if I won?

Frankie: Well, my friends did come all this way.

Vader: (Chuckles, is helped up by Frankie, then turns to the ring and calls out to Jake the Snake) JAKE! This one’s for my son! (Crawls back into the ring)

Commentator: It is only a matter of time! Vader getting back in now with a vengeance… Oh! (Vader slams into Jake, knocking him over. Cory, Shawn, & Frankie cheer. Vader then flips Jake) Slam Jake the Snake hard! Vader now! Pounding Jake the Snake in the corner. Punches left! Punches to the head! Jake the Snake goes down. Vader has got the Snake in position. He’s signaling for the Vader Bomb! Vader is signaling for the Vader Bomb, if he hits! (Vader climbs the ropes then slams into Jake on the mats) HE HIT THE VADER BOMB!! (The ref slams down three counter, Vader stands with and arm raised, Cory, Shawn, and Frankie enter the ring) Here is your winner! (The four of them hug and jump up and down) Here is your winner! VADER!!

Frankie: (Cheering) Woohoo! Woo!

Cory: (To Shawn) Wow. This is like the greatest moment of my life. Yeah!

Shawn: (Checking his watch) No, it’s not. (Cory looks over and Shawn’s watch, then the two exit running as Vader and Frankie hug in the ring)

[SCENE – Topanga’s Sweet Sixteen. The room is empty except for Topanga, who its at a table looking sad. Cory and Shawn enter, running. Shawn immediately hides behind the tree]

Topanga: (Doesn’t look up) How was the fight going?

Cory: How’d you know? (Topanga looks up at the TV, which is replaying Cory & Shawn celebrating in the ring with Vader & Frankie) What, you believe that?

Topanga: (Looks to the tree) Hi, Shawn.

Shawn: (From behind the tree, meekly) I had a very nice time, thank you for inviting me.

Topanga: How could you do this to me, Cory? (Stands) You knew how important this was.

Cory: Look, Topanga, if it helps… I’m sorry. I mean, I ruined your party and I know you’ll never forgive me. (Pause) I guess this is where I get hit on the head with a frying pan.

Topanga: (To Shawn, who is now standing behind Cory) Okay, what’s he talking about?

Shawn: Flintstone’s. He had to be at two places at one.

Topanga: Oh, the Water Buffalo Pebbles episode.

Cory: …and you wonder why I love this girl.

Topanga: Cory, I’ve been sitting here since everybody left and I’ve been wrestling too. I’ve been wrestling with how you could have possibly left me here alone. And I know you, and I know you have a good reason. (Sternly) Tell me your good reason, Cory.

Cory: I was helping Frankie get closer with his dad.

Topanga: (Looks up at the TV, where Vader and Frankie are celebrating together) Looks like you did.

Cory: Look, I want you to know I would never hurt you. And I’m sorry we couldn’t dance together in front of everyone.

Topanga: In front of everyone doesn’t matter. This was a special dance and I wanted it to be with you.

Shawn: (Imitating Barney Rubble) Hey, Fred.

Cory: Yeah, Barn?

Shawn: You know, if it’s a special dance you want, Frankie does owe you a favor.

[Cut to the wrestling ring. The stands have emptied, the room had darkened, a spotlight is on the ring, and Topanga’s Sweet Sixteen song is playing. Cory and Topanga are about to dance.]

Cory: May I have this dance?

Topanga: I thought you’d never ask. (They dance)

[Cut to Frankie and Shawn, who are sitting alone in the stands, watching and eating popcorn]

Shawn: Poetry in motion, huh, Frankie?

Frankie: I see you have an appreciation after all. So the two in the ring, how many rounds you think they’ll go?

Shawn: Those two? Oh, they’re gonna go the distance.

[Camera cuts to Cory & Topanga smiling at each other, then pans out from the ring]

[TAG – Scene continued from before, but now Frankie and Vader stand in the corner of the ring while Cory & Topanga dance]

Vader: (Touches Frankie’s shoulder) Now, Frankie, I accept the fact that you don’t wanna be a wrestler like your papi.

Frankie: I’m just happy to come down here to watch you work out.

Vader: Hey, I gotta shot at the belt! And I’ve been working on this new move. It’s called the Vadersault.

Frankie: Could I see it?

Vader: (Chuckles) Of course you can. Yeah! (Climbs onto the ropes)

[Cut over to Cory & Topanga]

Topanga: You know, Cory, when we dance close like this and you’re holding me, I feel safe. Nothing could ever happen to me.

Cory: Topanga, I would never let anything happen to you. (Looks up worried) Uh, move one step to your left. (They step over, and Vader flips and lands violently right where they were)

Frankie: Alright dad!

Vader: Yeah, son!!
