Girl Meets World

Why draw fruit?

Let's draw a real work of art.

That's right. Check out 48 lbs of nasty.

Both: No!

Well!

Looky here. The male... physique.

Why thank you, art lady.

Why aren't we drawing Lucas?

Because nobody looks like that.

Get used to this.

Get used to this right now.

When drawing a Farkle, start with the eyes.

I think the eyes should go straight to the gun show.

Maya, you're supposed to concentrate on the eyes.

See, you know what my problem is? I don't listen.

By the way, you're drawing Lucas.

Oh.

Well, that's the first time I've ever done that.

Do I need help?

All right, I know these are works in progress, but let's see where we are.

Maybe we'll become famous artists.

We'll go to Paris, drink coffee in outdoor cafes.

How do I look?

Fine, make fun of me.

I am a serious artist who belongs in Paris.

Bonjour, Lucas.

Bonjour, Lucas.

- Oh my gosh. - See? I am an artist.

- I am finally something. - Maya.

What a life I'm having.

Maya. My goodness.

This is brilliant!

Farkle is in a bird's nest.

It's a work of surrealism, Riley.

It's how this artist's mind views the subject.

I'm a bird to you?

No, you just... Need to be protected.

- You love me. - Leave me alone.

Maya, there's a school exhibit coming up.

I want one of your pieces in it.

What about my piece?

That's a cute top.

No thanks, miss kossal.

I don't draw for other people to look at, but thank you.

I'd appreciate you thinking about it, okay?

- Where you headed, Farkle? - Gym class.

That should go well, right?

They've been lying to you, Auggie.

Your artwork would not hang on a single refrigerator outside this apartment.

You said I was a little genius.

Oh, you are a little genius.

You said I was a little genius.

Well, I hadno one to compare you to, honey.

Maya is going to be a famous artist and everybody speaks French but me.

You are going to change the world with your brilliant mind.

You have such a cute top.

Are there any more of these mashed potatoes?

That's what you're thinking about right now?

Riley, this whole what-am-I-good-at thing?

I've been there my whole life. It's a waste of time.

You know what's not a waste of time?

Mashed potatoes.

You know why? They never let you down.

They're the best in the world at what they do.

So don't be mashed potatoes,

because they're better at that than you could ever be.

- How are you helping me? - Can I eat a meal?

What about you guys? Do you have any talent?

Did I inherit anything from you two?

Should we tell her?

You think they're ready?

Your father has a gift for...

Gimme! Gimme. I'll take anything.

...close-up magic!

- Hah? - That's right.

He's a close-up magician. Yay.

What is a... what is that?

What is that? Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's a little something like...

I go over to this guy over here...

Hi. How are you? Good.

And then I ask a little question like, "hey!

Where's the salt? Anybody seen the salt?"

I don't see the salt, daddy. The salt's gone.

Is it, Auggie? Is it gone?

Or is it... piddly pobbly pa-poom!

What the...?

That was already there.

I swear, Riley I swear.

Do it right now with the pepper.

Pepper? Nobody could do pepper.

Peppery poppily pa-poom!

Nobody could do pepper!

Why aren't you famous?!

See? He's very good.

You come from a very talented family.

Close-up magic? Really?

What am I supposed to do with that?

Mom, could you please help me out with something

that I could actually use? Do you have a talent?

- (Snickers) - Does she?

Does she?

- Your mom... - Don't you dare.

Your mom's hips don't lie!

Cory Matthews!

Whoo-hoo! Do it, mommy!

No no no. No, I am not gonna do it.

- All right, fine, I'll do it. - Okay, do it! Yeah!

It goes a little something like this.

Ay yai yai yai, ay yai yai yai, ay yai yai yai, ay yai, ay yai yai yai.

Hey, Riley, pa-poom!

All right, future history makers, welcome to career day.

Now there are a lot of ways to make your mark on the world.

- Hi, Riley. - Oh great, Shakira is here.

- Where's your mom? - She won't be coming.

- But she told you she was coming. - Yes, she did.

Okay, guys, our first guest today is a lawyer, and I likes her.

Hey, lawyer lady. How's about we go out sometime?

I get off work every day at 3:15...

Except Tuesdays. I got playground.

So I am an attorney.

I got here through a lot of hard work in school.

By the time I was your age, I had 350 "a" s.

- (Knocks on door) - Your mom... there she is.

Minkus.

Topanga.

- Stuart. - Topanga.

- Father. - Farkle.

Wait a minute.

- Yes? - He's your father?

Look at us.

Your name is Farkle Minkus?

Don't wear it out.

I don't know how you could.

Sorry I'm late, everybody.

I had helicopter problems, 'cause I have a helicopter.

Do you have a helicopter, Cory?

Nope. Do you have a Topanga, Minkus?

Nope, because she chose you.

I run Minkus International, I have a helicopter, and she chose you.

Stuart, please. Aren't we a little too evolved

to still be competing with each other?

Of course.

Of course.

Both: Go.

Between the two of us, Riley and I have 1260 "A" s. Ha!

That's remarkable, Topanga.

Between the two of us, Farkle and I have 1261.

- Ha! - Ha!

I... I had to, Topanga.

He's a lot smarter than I am.

But what's more important to me than anything...

Is that I have this guy. Come up here, son.

Topanga: Come up here, daughter.

Look how tall she is.

She's been taller than me since the day she was born.

Well, very nice. Good for you guys.

So this is what career day is really all about.

Yeah, I love it every year.

I'm sorry, Maya.

Maybe your mom just got a little busy.

- Are you okay? - I'm always okay.

Yeah, thanks.

So these are the two ladies you tell me keep chasing you, huh?

Please.

- Yes sir, it is us. - I'm not doing it.

Yes sir, it's us.

We hope that one day one of us will be lucky enough

to become the future Mrs. Farkle Minkus and have a lot of baby minkii.

Why won't you show your art?

Because I'm...

I'm fine believing that nothing much is going to happen for me.

Otherwise I'm full of hope.

You hope for things, you get disappointed.

What reason could your mom have for not showing up, Maya?

You're right, I did expect her.

And I didn't. See? Only one of us is disappointed.

And only one of us will never let this go. You know that.

I don't expect out of life what you expect, Riley.

- What do I expect? - You expect... good things.

You expect people to keep promises and people to show up.

You don't?

Riley, I'm not one of those dreamers like you.

If your mom saw your art, doesn't it make sense that she'd be proud of you?

Yeah, it makes sense to you.

Riley, you need to be okay with this.

Do you understand that finally something is beyond your control?
