Danielle Fishel: Topanga Lawrence

Quotes 

• Cory Matthews : Topanga! Hi, I'm glad you're here. Sit, sit. I want to tell you everything that happened. Okay, I went out with Lauren, and I'm not gonna lie to you. We had a great time.

  Topanga Lawrence : Well, Lauren's a nice girl, Cory. I knew you'd have fun.

  Cory Matthews : Yeah, but I-I didn't know I was allowed to. See, when I first met Lauren, she was the first girl besides you that I ever thought I could like. And that made me feel bad because I thought if I liked another girl, that it somehow meant that I liked you less.

  Topanga Lawrence : I'm sorry you felt bad.

  Cory Matthews : No, no, no. I-it was good that I went through this. Because it taught me that liking someone else could never, ever take away from loving you, and I don't have to be afraid of what I feel for anybody else because I know that it could never take away from loving you and I always will, and I know that completely now.

  Topanga Lawrence : You know that now?

  Cory Matthews : Yeah.

  Topanga Lawrence : Is there anything else you have to tell me?

  Cory Matthews : [mumbles to himself]  Love you completely, know that now...

  [to Topanga] 

  Cory Matthews : No, that's it. So, uh, listen can you put me in your jacket 'cause I only want to be in your jacket.

  Topanga Lawrence : Cory, I can't see you anymore.

  Cory Matthews : What?

  Topanga Lawrence : Do you have any idea how many guys hit on me?

  Cory Matthews : What are you talking about?

  Topanga Lawrence : I never needed to test my feelings for you. I moved away from my parents in Pittsburgh to be close to you. Ever since we were little kids, I felt like I belonged with you and I would have given you everything, Cory.

  Cory Matthews : Topanga, I'm-I'm so sorry.

  Topanga Lawrence : I forgive you. I forgive you for lying at the lodge. I forgive you for kissing her. And I forgive you for the letter, which I read. I know how intimately she felt about you. But that you needed to see her, to test how you felt about me.

  Cory Matthews : No.

  Topanga Lawrence : I don't forgive you for that, Cory.

  Cory Matthews : [He stands up]  No! You told me to see her, Topanga! You told me to see how I felt!

  [Topanga stands up and hugs Cory] 

  Topanga Lawrence : And you listened.

  [She walks away and passes Shawn on the stairs] 

  Shawn Hunter : Topanga, what's wr-

  [She ignores him and continues up the stairs. He walks over to Cory, who is in a state of shock] 

  Shawn Hunter : It's gonna be okay.

  Cory Matthews : No. No, it won't.
