203: Betty's Wait Problem

Gio: Okay, chicken and cheese special on the baguette, no chicken, no cheese.... no baguette. (turns to Betty) I just sold her a plate of lettuce for seven bucks. Betty: Yes, but that's her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so really it's a bargain. Betty: Can I please get the turkey sundried tomato on a baguette? Gio: (Clap) Yes! Man, I knew you were an eater! Betty: Oh... thank you, I guess. Betty: So you're new, what happened to Robert? Gio: Ya know, I think he inherreted money... or got arrested. I don't know, there was a lawyer and cash involved. Betty: Well... welcome. Betty: Oh hey, I'm glad you're still here. There's just a little problem with my sandwhich. Gio: Oh man, is there a hair?! I'm like the only one in my family with a full head. Gio: Sorry, I don't know where Robert is, I'm not his keeper, but Robert didn't know jack about food. A sundried tomato is a concentrated flavor, more than three on a sandwhich would overwhelm the smokey flavor of the turkey. Betty: Okay, ya know what? I think my turkey can handle it. So, could I please just have some more sundried tomatoes? Gio: Nah. It would be wrong. Betty: I wan't my sandwhich the way I want my sandwhich. Gio: Wow... (laughs) Ya know, when I first saw you, I thought 'Wow, there goes a girl from the neighborhood, what's she doing here?' Now I see you're just like all the other spoiled Mode girls. Betty: No, no I'm not. Gio: Ya know, I bet before you got here, you didn't even know what a sundried tomato is. You just reached into the cart and pulled out whatever had the most cheese. Gio: Well, you must be happy. Betty: (Into phone) I'll call you back. (to Gio) Why? Gio: I just got fired because you went crying to your boss. Now I don't have a job. (To self) Man, I'm going to have to go back to stealing cable from my neighbor, which I don't feel right about, all because the little Mode-girl wasn't happy with her sandwhich. Betty: No, look, I wasn't trying to get you fired- Gio: Well, none the less, you did. (To the rest of Mode) Alright everybody, that's it for me, but before I go, there is no such thing as fat-free Mayo. There's a hundred and twenty-five calories of pure fat per tablespoon and I put two on every sandwhich. (To Betty) See you around Mode-girl. Betty: Wait, sandwhich guy! Gio: Oh, man. Betty: What's happening in five years? Gio: I'm starting my own place, ya know, Gio's Sandwhich Depot. Three hundred seats, a thousand kinds of sandwhiches, and the world's longest condiment bar. You name it, it's on there. Go ahead, name one. Betty: Um... mustard? Gio: Of course there's going to be mustard there! Come on, use your imagination. Betty: Sorry, you caught me off-guard. Gio: Gio's going to be huge. Betty: Hey! Wait! You have a van! We need a van. Would you drive me to New Jersey to pick up a wheelchair? We'd pay you. Gio: Sure, I could do that. Get in. Betty: (Pause) Sour-kraut? Gio: Don't embarass yourself. Gio: (sings) Unbreak my heart! Say you love me again! Take it Betty! Betty: (sings) Undo the hurt that you caused when you walked out the- Gio: (turns off radio) Uh... that's a really hard song to sing. Gio: So, tell me, if you're not a Mode-girl, then why do you work there? Betty: It's a great oppurtunity, it's gonna to open up a lot of doors for me. I want to have a magazine of my own one day. Gio: Uh-huh, how do you do that? Betty: I'm an assistant now, but then I want to be writing for one. Gio: You're a writer? Betty: Uh-huh. Gio: What have you written? Betty: A lot. Actually, I used to practically run the Queens Community College newspaper, but since I've left the quality has gone way down. Gio: No, I mean lately. Betty: Uh, well... nothing, really, but I do have a lot of ideas. Gio: Good, keeping it all up there, that's how Hemingway did it. He was thinking 'What a nice morning' and The Sun Also Rises just magically appeared on the page. Betty: Are you making fu of me? Gio: No, I'm sorry, I just hope you're not one of these people who just waits for things to happen. What are you, like thirty now? Betty: I'm twenty-three! Salesman: Now this machine has to come back in pristine condition, ya got it? Pristine. How do I want it back? Betty: Don't worry, it'll be perfect. Gio: I think he wanted you to say pristine. Betty: (To Salesman) Pristine. Betty: (About the salesman) But that's not fair! We reserved the IBot. We paid for it, and he's giving us the... Tulip? Daniel can't ride a Tulip. Gio: Give him a good reason to give it to you. Come on, you're a writer, make up a good story. Betty: How could he have believed that crazy story? Gio: Because it was goooooooood. Betty: Well, I may have borrowed a little of it from Casino Royale, but I did put my own spin on it. Gio: Hell's yeah ya did! Ya know, maybe you are a writer after all. Betty: Thanks, maybe I am. Betty: (On the phone) Daniel, it's Betty again, we got you your chair but you're just going to have to meet us here because it's almost eleven o'clock so you're just going to have to meet us here, and I've got the lint roller so I'll just go over you when you get here. Gio: Man. Betty: What? Gio: I think I know the reason why you don't write. You're too busy de-linting your bosses ass. Betty: I just don't have a lot of time right now because I'm going through some huge family problems. Gio: Quack. Betty: Excuse me? Gio: Everytime you make an excuse, I'm going to quack. Betty: You have no right to quack! You don't know my life. My dad is stuck in Mexico. Gio: Quack. Betty: No, seriously, and my sister's fiancee- Gio: Quack. Quack. Betty: Will you just let me finish?! Gio: Quack, all excuses. The problem is that you don't have a plan, you go through life- Betty: Woof! Gio: What the hell is that? Betty: Well if you're going to quack then I'm going to woof everytime you mention your stupid plan. Gio: Quack! Betty: No quacking, that wasn't an excuse! Gio: Yeah, well, I changed the rules. Quack, quack! Betty: Woof, woof! Gio: Quack, quack! Betty: Woof, woof! Gio: Your phone is ringing. Betty: Woof!

206: Something Wicked This Way Comes

Gio: And, because you got me canned from my old job and lit a fire under me, three coupons. Betty: Oh, a free cookie! Gio: Ya know, you did get me canned, so let's make it two. (He takes one back) Betty: You're welcome. Betty: Maybe you could try something catchy. Oh, like that donut shop downstairs, 'A Hole Lot of Fun,' that just makes me smile! Gio: Yeah yeah yeah, that's also the name of a strip club in Bayside! Betty: Eww, and now I know you better. Gio: So, I'm just curious, being your boyfriend and all, am I a gentle lover? Betty: Ew, shut up. I had to tell my boss that I was going out with someone and you were the first guy I saw. Gio: Flattered. So, why are you lying to him? Betty: Because, well, I'm dating someone that I don't want Daniel to know about. Gio: Oooh, you're cheating on me? After I was so gentle? Gio: First tell me who you're dating. Betty: (After a snatch fight) Okay, Henry from Accounting, there. Gio: Oh yeah, egg salad on white, sexy. (high fives her outstretched hand) More. Betty: Okay, he got a girl pregnant, and I don't want Daniel to know that I'm dating him because if he does, he's just going to tell me that I'm being stupid. Gio: Wow, you are being stupid. Betty: You're a very rude fake boyfriend. Betty: (In a text message to Henry) You're about to hear a cough. That's me saying hello. Henry: (In a text message to Betty) You're about to hear a sneeze. That's me saying hello. Gio: (To Betty) You're about to hear gagging. That's me... gagging. Gio: Looks like your boss is trying to put the moves on his mother. Betty: That's ridiculous, it's business. He's a total professional. Gio: Yeah, professional dog. Check it out, he's trying to do the old armrest boob-graze. Gio: (After Betty and Daniel whisper and argue through the play) Great, now I missed the whole song. Betty: (After Gio puts his arm around her) What are you doing? Gio: Pretending to be your boyfriend. Betty: Well stop. (Tries to remove his arm but stops when she sees Daniel watching) Gio: You're sending a lot of mixed signals. Betty: Shut up.

210: Bananas For Betty

Gio: It's interesting, you only call me whe you need something. When was the last time you've been down to my deli and bought a sandwhich? Betty: Well, Gio, that's because every time I come in you tell, 'There she is: the eater!' Gio: It's cute! It's our thing! Hilda: Gio, you've got to let me pay you! I don't feel right. Gio:Just give my mom a haircut and don't tell her about her bald spot. Betty: Every weekend we have a themed topping. Last week we were watching Walk the Line, you know about Johnny Cash, so he topped up cashews. It was fun! Gio: And did you eat it with a Reese Wither-spoon? Gio: Well, if I loved a girl, and I knew I had so little time left with her, then every night would be a chance to make a memory. Believe me, if there was any ice cream involved, I would be eating it off her stomach. Hilda: Sexy Betty: Gross Gio: I'd take her out to Montaque, with a bottle of wine, and we'd build a fire and sleep on the beach. Or maybe we'd climb the fire escape to the rooftop of the Blue Note and listen to music. Or maybe we'd just go out dancing. 'Cause you never feel closer to a woman than when you're holding her, ya know? So close you can feel her breath on your neck. (pause) Because love dosen't come around often and I'd want to make every second count. Gio: So do you maybe want to this again sometime? Hilda: I don't think so. I had so much fun tonight, when Henry caught on fire and everything, but you just seemed to really up your game with Betty showed up. Gio: What? What are you talking about? Hilda: Just saying... I don't think I'm the Suarez sister you like.

212: Odor in the Court

Gio: (Nods) Egg salad, shoulda known, it travels well. Gio: Well, don't worry. Whatever happens in Tuscon, stays in Tuscon. Gio: Come on, the guy is going down there to see his girlfriend, but relax. It's not like... he's going to get her pregnant. Betty: That's disgusting, he would never cheat on me. Gio: Yeah, you're right. That's not Eggie's style. Gio: Look, I've been thinking about it and I just want to apologize. I should have never said Egg Salad was going to do something wrong in Tuscon. And I know you don't like it, so I'm not to call him Egg Salad anymore. It's Henry... you're boyfriend, Henry. Doctor: Well you said you haven't been yourself lately. You're jittery, anxious, overly emotional. Gio: (Nods) You did break into my deli. Betty: Shut up. Betty: Oh, and about that note I left you... Gio: Oh yeah, the one where you called me an annoying jerk, obnoxious, and arrogant? Betty: I was strung out on that perfume! It wasn't me, I wasn't in my right mind.

213: A Thousand Words by Friday

Gio: So, did you hear? Phil Roth is in the house. Betty: Oh, you know who Philip Roth is? Author of Goodbye Columbus- Gio: American Pastoral, yeah. Not everyone who makes sandwhiches is a lunk. Betty: (To Henry) Gio is a total dog... he's perfect. Gio: I think I'm going to go for that blondie over there. Betty: Gio, don't you think she's a little out of your league. Gio: League? I'm a guy. The universe is my league. Henry: Statistically speaking, two test subjects increases your chances of validating this mating theory. Gio: You should open with that, chicks love it. Henry: Hey, I can tap that better than you. Gio: Are you serious? Henry: Serious as a nov-a. Betty: Guys, no, this is my research, not a contest. Gio: Whoever gets the most phone numbers wins. Henry: Game on, Sandwhich Boy. Gio: (To a girl at the bar) Cute outfit. You know some people may call it slutty but I think it really works on you. Gio: (To a girl at the bar) It's so nice to meet a girl who dosen't buy into the whole skinny thing. Gio: (To a girl at the bar) Man, you got some big feet. Henry: Whose the man? Gio: Usually not the guy who says 'Who's the man?' Gio: I told that girl over there that I'm going to Iraq next week, gotta strike now. Betty: Classy.

214: Twenty-Four Candles

Betty: Whoa, Gio! Your hair. Gio: Summer's coming, gotta let the head breathe. So where have you been? Betty: Um... around. You know, just working and uh... living. Yep, working and living. Gio: So the Pemberly Inn, huh? What's the occasion? Betty: It's my birthday. Gio: Happy birthday! Betty: Thanks. Gio: So you going to dinner with Henry? Betty: Uh-huh. Yeah, we were suppose to go away for the weekend but Charlie showed up. Gio: The baby's mama. Betty: Yeah, but it's fine. It's fine. Me and Henry are going to have the perfect night right here in Manhattan, an intimate dinner, then a concert and fireworks in the park! Gio: The only thing missing is a carriage ride. Betty: Yep... wait, a carriage ride? Why'd you say that? Gio: I don't know, it just seems like something you'd be into. Betty: (Pause) It was good to see you! Gio: You too. Sorry we don't talk as much anymore. Betty: Yeah, well, you know... just working... and living! (She walks away.) Gio: Yeah... working and living. Amanda: (On the phone) So I was like 'Slow your roll, Mary-kate. You can't just call dibs on every hot piece of... (Seeing Gio with Betty's birthday pie) Pie. Gotta go. (To Gio) That is so sweet of you, thank you. Gio: Yeah, well, it's for Betty. Amanda: Ha! Gio: What? Amanda: You just reminded me of a really funny story. See, Betty's 'boyfriend' called earlier and he is totally blowing her off for their big birthday date tonight. (Shows him the message.) See? Gio: You give her this message? Amanda: I'm a receiver, not a giver. (About the pie) Can I have that now? (Gio walks away) Gio: (Arriving with a horse and carriage) Betty! Betty: Gio?! What are you doing here? And why are you on a carriage?! Gio: Henry left a message with Amanda, he can't make it tonight. (He hands her the message.) Betty: Charlie Gio: So, I'm not trying to take his place or anything, but when I heard you were on your own, I remembered my cousin drives these things for tourists and I thought 'She deserves to have a little... fun.' So what do you say? Want a ride? Betty: I don't know Gio... Gio: Come on, once around the block. Betty: Fine... once around the block. Gio: ... And on the weekend of my tenth birthday there was a blizzard so no one could make it to the party and we couldn't leave the house so we had to eat leftover cake for weeks. Betty: Wow... well that's not so bad. Betty: Why are we stopping? Gio: Snowflake has to take care of some business. Gio: Sorry, not quite the birthday you imagined, huh? Betty: It's my own fault. I had this stupid fantasy, fireworks, epic romance... like Romeo and Juliet. Gio: Ah... you know those two ended up dead in a tomb, right? Betty: Yeah but I don't like thinking about that part. Gio: Fantasies are fun but you live in reality, it's not perfect but that doesn't mean it can't be pretty good. Betty: I know, I know, and I'm lucky... except for the part where Henry's leaving me after his baby is born. Betty: It's getting late, I should get home. Gio: Nah, you're not going home. Betty: I'm not? Gio: Nope, we're heading to Central Park. We can still catch the end of that show. Betty wants fireworks for her birthday, she's getting fireworks. Betty: (About the fireworks) I don't think we're going to make it, sounds like it's almost over. Gio: Somebody had to stop for hot chocolate. (She shoves him) What? We're going to make it okay. (The carriage falls backwards.) Betty: What was that? Gio: Crap. I think I busted a wheel. I'm going to try and rig something up. Betty: Oh, well I can help. Gio: No, you stay in the carriage. I don't want you to dirty your dress. (She falls) Betty! You okay Betty: I'm okay. Gio: (Sees her covered in mud) Oh no! Man, uh... I think I have a... napkin. (Pulls one from his pocket and wipes her face with it.) Betty: Thanks. Gio: I'm so sorry, Betty. This night sucked, huh? (They laugh) You're such a great girl, you're so... good... and nice. You deserve to have an amazing birthday. Betty: Gio, it's not your fault. You did everything you could! It's fine. Gio: No, no it's not. You know, I'm not a big believer in this whole fantasy thing but I at least wanted you to have a little bit of yours. I'm sorry, I wasted your whole night. (Sparks start falling from a construction site.) Betty: No, look! Look! (She turns him around and they watch the falling sparks together.)

215: Burning Questions

Betty: (To Gio on the phone) I need thirty sandwhiches before the editorial meeting or people will forget to eat again and Daniel doesn't want anybody passing out like last year... Thank you, Gio... You're the best... No, you are... No, you are. You are... Okay, okay, okay, I'm hanging up now. Hilda: So what's going on with you and Gio? I heard you guys on the phone. Betty: It's nothing. Hilda: Uh-huh. Betty: Okay, so Gio and I are friends again, so what? Hilda: Sooo... wasn't Henry jealous of you guys? Betty: Yeah, he is, but Henry doesn't know that I am talking to Gio again. Hilda: Ooo, drama, tell Mama Hilda everything. Betty: Mama Hilda? Hilda: I'm trying it out. Betty: Look, Gio is a great guy and I want to be his friend, and I don't want to upset Henry. He has been so sweet since Charlie showed up. Hilda: Yeah, but are you sure that hiding things from him is the best thing for your relationship? Betty: Yes and, besides, Charlie is leaving for Tuscon today and I want my last four weeks with Henry to be stress free. Oh, I got to go. Don't wait up! Betty: I mean, I know I promised Daniel that I would try to get along with her but it's gotten worse today. Renae is driving me nuts! Gio: Hey, just because you promised that you'd be nice doesn't mean you let Renae walk all over you. Next time she crosses the line, say something. Betty: (Seeing Henry) Oh, uh, well it looks like we're all set here with the sandwiches. Thank you, Gio! Bye! Amanda: (About Betty) Anyway, I just always thought she'd end up with that guy Gio. He's so pathetically into her, always up here delivering sandwhiches. Give Betty enough food and it's just a matter of time before she falls in love. Henry: (From behind) What was that about Gio and Betty? Amanda: Nothing, he's just totally in love with her. (Turning around to see him) Oops! (Pause) You could do better. Gio: Hey, Henry. What can I do for ya? Henry: You can stay away from Betty. Gio: Excuse me? Henry: I only have four weeks left with her. I don't need to be hearing that you're always around with some... crush. Gio: Whoa, whoa, crush? I don't know where you're getting that from. Henry: Just stay away from her, got it? Gio: Oh, I see. You wanna fight. Ah, well, let's get it over with. Henry: What? Wait, that's not what I meant. Gio: It wasn't? Henry: No. Gio: Because in my neighborhood, when a guy says what you just said, it means he wants a fight. I'll even let you have the first punch. Henry: I'm not gonna hit you! Gio: It'll make you feel better. Go ahead, take a swing. Like this- (Henry hits him and Gio falls back into a stack of water bottles) Son of a... bitch! Henry: I'm sorry! Oh God. Gio: Man you can hit. Henry: I thought you were going to hit me. Gio: Well I wasn't. I was just trying to scare you off. I didn't think you'd actually hit me. Henry: Neither did I.(He hands him a cold drink) Here, put that on it. Gio: So what's up Henry? Are you really mad at me or is this about something else? Henry: I'm stuck. I try to be a good boyfriend and I end up not being the dad I want to be and I try to be a good father and I end up hurting Betty. I'm just scared I'm going to lose her. Gio: You know the one thing I don't get is, if you have four weeks left with her, then what the hell are you doing wasting your time here with me? Betty: (To Gio on the phone) Henry did want to you?! (To Cristina) Henry punched Gio! Cristina: Really? Good for him! Betty: (To Gio on the phone) Well what did you do to deserve it? (Pause) I'm just saying! Well look, Gio, I'm really busy, I can't talk right now. Can I call you back? (To Cristina) Ugh, this is exactly why I didn't want to tell Henry about Gio, I knew something like this would happen.

217: The Kids Are Alright

Gio: Okay, eight turkey, six veggie, four chicken curry salads, and two salamis. Man, you sure are hungry today. (Betty smiles) Hey, that's the first time I've ever gotten a smile off that joke. Betty: Well, today has turned out to be not so terrible. Claire Meade asked me to write an article for Hot Flash. Gio: Heeeeey, that's a big deal! Betty: Yeah, I guess it is a big deal. Gio: Here, have a black and white cookie. Betty: I haven't even told anybody yet. Gio: Oh, I'm the first person you told, huh? (Betty nods) Figures. Betty: What does that mean? Gio: You tell me everything. Betty: No, I don't. Gio: Yes, you do. Betty: Oh, no I don't. Gio: Oh, yes you do. Betty: Oh, no I don't. Gio: Oh yes you do. You're always down here, telling me about your day, flirting, ordering sandwhiches. Betty: Uh, it's a sanwhich shop and I wasn't flirting. Gio: Oh. come. on. Every time I turn around you there. You know, you're kind of stalking me a little bit. Betty: What?! Gio: You like me. There's nothing wrong with that, just admit it. Betty: You are insane. Gio: Come on, you'll feel better if you say it out loud. You want me to be your rebound guy. Betty: I came down here for sandwhiches and all of a sudden you're my rebound guy?! Gio, I just got out of a relation- (Gio breaks her off with a kiss. She returns it for a moment before slapping him and running out of the shop.) Amanda: Betty, we are so glad you finally found a rebound guy. You and Henry? Marc: Mismaaatch! One time, I saw him changing his shirt in the bathroom, and I wasn't staring, and I definitely did not take a picture, but for a nerd accountant? He has body kar-ate. (He shows Amanda a picture on his phone.) Amanda: Ooo. But Gio sells like salami. Marc: And he's perfect for you! Betty: Gio is NOT by rebound guy and I have an article to write today so I don't have time for your games. If you could just write a retraction email and send it out- Amanda: Betty, Gio loves you. Marc: And that's a direct quote from a stall in the men's room. Daniel: (As Betty comes out of a stall) What are you doing in the men's room? Betty: Uggh. There was a graffiti situation. Mark wrote a very raunchy poem about me and Gio, it was more of a haiku, really. Anyway, I took care of it. Hilda: How you doin' over there? Betty: I can't concentrate. Hilda: Why? Is it Henry, again? Betty: I keep trying to focus on my work... and then Gio went and kissed me. Hilda: What?! Gio kissed you?! Girl, spill it. Betty: Don't get excited, it was awful, and I feel guilty. Hilda: Guilty, why? (Gasp) Because you liiiiked it. Betty: No, I just miss Henry, that's all, and I'm not even close to being ready to think about another guy. It's not time yet. Is it? Oh God, I'm terrible. Hilda: Please, you think you can't have feelings for more than one guy at a time? I know you lost Henry, but you can not plan when you're going to start feeling things again. Antonella: I know you from somewhere. Betty: Nope, I don't think so. Antonella: Yeah, braces, you know my brother. Betty: Who's your brother? (Antonella points behind Betty, to Gio.) Gio: I knew you were stalking me. Betty: You are stalking me. What are you doing here? Gio: I'm a chaperone. Betty: Well me too, but I'm also working so, if you don't mind... Gio: Oh, I see, you get your kiss and now you're blowing me off. Betty: You kissed me! Gio: Yeah, well, you kissed me back. I even felt your tounge. Betty: I was blocking your tounge! Gio: You frenched me, Suarez. You frenched me good. Betty: I did not french you! (She walks away but Gio follows) Gio, I have an article that I need to write so, please, stop distracting me. Gio: What?! I'm chaperoning here! Betty: And who calls it frenching?! (She storms off) Betty: I need your help. Gio: I thought I was distracting you. Betty: I don't have a single quote for my article, not one without profantity, anyway. I literally have kids running from me and you are surrounded by them! How do you do it? Gio: I just talk to them like a normal person. They're pretty much the same as everyone you know. I mean, look, there's a Daniel. (He points to a boy with his arms around two pretty girls.) And, uh, there's an Amanda. (He points to a pretty girl whose sticking food in another girl's hair.) Oh, that kid is definitely me. (Points to a kid drawing on posters.) Betty: Ugh, I hate that little kid! I busted him twice tonight for defacing posters! Gio: Yeah, and now we know who you were in junior high school, the girl who never had any fun. Betty: Um, I had plenty of fun. I did yearbook.... and Young Enviormentalists ... and Multi-Culture Club. And ya know, I don't like to brag but, in eighth grade, I did win the Good Citizen Award. Gio: Of course you have a good Citizen's Award. Betty: Well, I don't techniqually have it. I gave it back so that everyone at the school could enjoy it, which really sucks because I worked really hard for that award and now I can barely see it through the trophy case, but that's okay because giving back is what a good citizen does. Gio: Ah, found her, Little Betty. (He points to a girl whose sitting on the bleachers and writing in a notepad.) She must be covering this thing for the school paper. Betty: No.... she's waiting for someone to ask her to dance. (They look at each other for a moment.) Okay, I'll try again, your way. I'll talk to her like a normal person. DJ: ... goes out to Betty from Gio. Alright kids, grab that special someone and hit the dance floor. Gio: So what do you say, B? Wanna do something crazy and actually dance at a school dance? (Betty glances unsurely at the young girl she's talking to.) Don't worry about her, I've got that covered. (Justin appears.) Justin: (To the girl) Do you wanna dance? Girl: I don't know... Betty: (To her) Go, have fun. (To Gio) Well, that was very nice. Gio: Come on, take a break from your article. (He leads her out to the floor, where they dance and almost kiss.) Betty: I can't. (He watches her run away.) Gio: (After finding Betty, whose crying on the stairs) Hey. Betty: Oh, I'm fine, how are you? Gio: I'm good. You realize I didn't actually ask how are you? Betty: Oh, I'm fine, thanks. Gio: You're really good at hiding it. Betty: (She laughs) Yeah. It's just, I'm not the type of person who can have a boyfriend and forget about them, especially someone I love... loved. What am I doing dancing with you, Gio? What does that say about me? Gio: God, Betty. It must be so exhausting, always worrying about the right thing to do. Betty: What do you mean? Gio: You gave back the Good Citizen Award because that's what a good citizen does. Maybe you should stop worrying about how you're suppose to be and just... be. Betty: I'm really sad. Gio: Sad I think we can work with. Betty: (As Gio picks the lock on the trophy case) I can't steal my Good Citizen trophy! Gio: Come on, you know you want to. It'll make you feel better, I promise. Betty: Okay, yep, there it is. I can see it, kinda. Alright, maybe I can just hold it for a second and then put it back. Or you could take a picture of me with your cellphone. No, no, that could be evidence. (The clock clicks and Gio slides open the door.) Gio: (In an accented voice) Betty, come get me! You worked so hard, I belong to you! Betty: My trophy speaks with a Mexican accent? Gio: All trophies do. Betty: (She glances around and then carefully pulls it out of the case.) Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I got it! It's a lot lighter than I imagined. (The whole case comes crashing down.) Principal: Stop right there! Betty: Principal Hayworth! Principal: Betty Suarez? Stealing?! (He takes back the trophy) You are a bad citizen, Betty Suarez. Gio: So the principal turns to her and says 'Betty Suarez, you're expelled!' Justin: No way! Antonella: Badass! Betty: No, it is not badass to be expelled from school so don't go getting any ideas. Gio: Too late, you're officially a bad influence. Betty: Okay, time for us to go inside, you're mom's probably waiting. Gio: (To Antonella) Wait right here, I'm going to go say a proper goodbye to Betty. (To Betty I'm sorry I got you into trouble. Betty: Don't worry about it, I had fun. Besides, I figured out what my articles going to be about, 'you can be young at any age.' I mean, I just had my first junior high dance at twenty-four. Gio: I'm glad I could help. Betty: I better get inside and start writing. Gio: Right, right, the deadline. Good luck. Betty: Thanks. (She watches him walk away for a moment before going after him.) Hey, crazy idea, um do you, maybe, wanna do something... sometime? Gio: What, like a date? Betty: I don't know... yeah. Gio: Um... I don't think so. Betty: What? Gio: I just... I don't think it's a good idea. Betty: Um, okay, I'm a little confused. See, you kissed me, and then you danced with me, and you talk about being my Rebound Guy, so... what was all that about? Gio: That's just it... I don't want to be the Rebound Guy. I want to be The Guy.
