Quotes 

• Harper Burgess : Do you give in to your feelings or let your mind rule over your heart?

  Maya Hart : I follow my heart. It gets me into trouble.

  Farkle Minkus : What about you, Riley?

  Riley Matthews : My mind tells me to do what's right.

  Harper Burgess : Can anyone answer which is more valuable to follow?

  Lucas Friar : It depends on the situation.

  Harper Burgess : No, it doesn't.

  Lucas Friar : [shouting]  Just taking a shot!

  Harper Burgess : Very passionate.

  Lucas Friar : Thank you!

  Harper Burgess : ...And that's where we run into trouble.

  Lucas Friar : You set me up!

• Lucas Friar : [sits down next to Maya]  Hi.

  Maya Hart : Hi.

  Riley Matthews : [sits down next to Lucas]  Hi.

  Charlie Gardner : [pops out of nowhere next to them]  Heard this was gonna be awkward.

• Isadora Smackle : My turn. "What is your partner's most ticklish place on their body?"

  Riley Matthews : Uh, Farkle and Smackle?

  Maya Hart : How would they possibly...

  Lucas Friar : ...know anything like that?

  Farkle Minkus : [Smackle tickles him behind his ear]  HAAAAAAHHH!

• Maya Hart : Help me.

  Riley Matthews : Mm. No. I'm out of this. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy whatever happens for once.

  [Charlie raises his hand] 

  Harper Burgess : Charlie Gardner!

  Riley Matthews : Unbelievable.

• Riley Matthews : [playing "The Couple's Game", picking a card]  Okay, first question is for us. "What is your partner's favorite movie snack?" I know this. It's popcorn and licorice.

  Charlie Gardner : If something funny happens and she thinks she laughed too hard, she looks around the theater to see if anybody heard her. And if she thinks something scary is gonna happen, she reaches out and grabs your arm and...

  Lucas Friar : And she doesn't even know she did.

  Charlie Gardner : It's not your turn, Friar!

  Lucas Friar : And that wasn't the question, Gardner! What's her favorite snack?

  Charlie Gardner : Gummies.

  Lucas Friar : Yeah, but wh...

  Charlie Gardner : Red.

  Lucas Friar : Yeah, but what does she...

  Charlie Gardner : She bites their heads off first so they feel less pain.

  Lucas Friar : He's like a creepy creep creep!

• [Maya and Riley read "Sense and Sensibility" at Topanga's] 

  Maya Hart : What page are you on?

  Riley Matthews : 304. Maya, you know how the girls decide who they love? They throw a ball.

  Maya Hart : Cinderelly!

  Riley Matthews : Apparently, these sorts of things get decided at the ball. You know what we need? A ball.

  Maya Hart : All I know is I've been reading as long as you, and I'm on page seven. I don't think this is in America.

  Riley Matthews : [in a fake British accent]  What is essential to the situation, my dear Maya, is to host a ball. A grand ball. A New Year's Eve ball. We shall invite all of the eligible gentlemen of good breeding...

  [Charlie pops up out of nowhere] 

  Charlie Gardner : I hear you're having a party.

  Riley Matthews : HOW?

• Farkle Minkus : Tell them you still like Lucas, Riley. Just tell them the truth. Don't start the new year with a lie.

  Riley Matthews : Farkle, Maya stepped back for me when she saw that I liked him. If she has feelings for him, how could I not do the same for her?

  Farkle Minkus : You don't know that. You don't know how she feels. I don't think she knows how she feels. You know why?

  Riley Matthews : Because she could only read seven pages in three hours.

  Farkle Minkus : Because all these things we're feeling are new. We don't know what they are yet. Harper said this all comes at a cost. What's your cost, Riley? Your own happiness?

  Riley Matthews : Farkle, you said that wouldn't tell anybody. How could you do this to me?

  Farkle Minkus : I'm doing it *for* you, Riley. I care so much about you, I want you to know that the truth is always the best thing.

  Riley Matthews : How is it the best thing if it turns everything into a mess?

  Farkle Minkus : You don't think this is a mess already? I want you to tell them. I know you would have me do the same thing. You ever heard of the horn of Gabriel?

  Riley Matthews : No.

  Farkle Minkus : He's an angel. They say when he blows his horn, it's the end of time. If you don't tell everybody how you really feel, his horn blows at midnight.

  [imitates the horn with his characteristic 'HAAAAH' catchphrase] 

  Farkle Minkus : Just because I don't do it much, doesn't mean I can't.

• Riley Matthews : Okay, um, we'll do one more...

  [picks a game card] 

  Riley Matthews : "Have you ever kept a secret from somebody you love?" Game over.

  Farkle Minkus : Why, because you know secrets are dangerous?

  Riley Matthews : No, Farkle, because it's almost midnight.

  Farkle Minkus : And you know what happens at midnight?

  Riley Matthews : Okay, it's time to go up to the roof.

  [drags Farkle with her out of the apartment. The others stand back, shocked. Lucas ends up standing next to Smackle, who looks at him] 

  Lucas Friar : [realizes]  I just happened to be standing next to you.

  Isadora Smackle : Who's the creepy creep creep now?
