About his mother.
MAYA
So,you know what's going too?

Maybe.

ZAY
Talk to him,then.
MAYA
Why don't you just tell me?
ZAY
I don't think there's anything to tell.
MAYA
Zay...I am not dumb.
ZAY
Can we stop talking about Lucas for a second and finally talk about me?
MAYA
Oh,sorry.I didn't notice you had some interesting topic to talk about.Sorry.
ZAY
I am thinking about my future a lot.College is coming to an end soon.
MAYA
Yeah.
ZAY
I am terrified.
MAYA
Do you know what you want to do when it ends?
ZAY
That's the problem.I don't.
MAYA
I don't think I can help you with that.
ZAY
I am all messed up.The only good thing was the job Minkus offered me.
MAYA
Well,those were the good times,right?
ZAY
You are lucky to be artist,Maya.
MAYA
That's not luck.It found me and I found it.
ZAY
And I'm still in process of finding it and it didn't find me yet.
They laugh.

INT.LUCAS'S AND MAYA'S APARTMANT – LIVING ROOM – DAY
Maya and Lucas are standing.
MAYA
I don't understand why are you avoiding the talk about your mother,Lucas.
LUCAS
I am not avoiding it.
MAYA
You clearly are.
LUCAS
I...just don't like talking about it.
MAYA
You came here many years ago.You never mentioned her in person.Why?
LUCAS
Don't be have something interesting to talk about?
MAYA
Isn't this interesting?
LUCAS
Not exactly.
MAYA
You are making me think that you don't love your own mother.And I know that's not the truth because you care about everyone.
LUCAS
If I care about my friends,it doesn't mean I'll care about everyone else in the same way.
MAYA
Who are you?
LUCAS
Maya...I don't like talking about my mother because she's great person and there's nothing more to say about her.
MAYA
Something's going on.
LUCAS
Nothing's going on,okay?Just...let's not talk about it again.
MAYA
You know everything about me.You know about my mother,my father and all my family.
LUCAS
I never really pressured you to talk about it.
MAYA
Nothing you is so hard.
LUCAS
Well...you accepted that one thing.Why can't you accept the fact that I don't wanna talk about this?
MAYA
Okay.
LUCAS
Okay?
MAYA
I said okay.
LUCAS
You don't look okay.
MAYA
But I feel okay.
LUCAS
I just...I am sorry.
MAYA
You always are.
LUCAS
And I mean it every single time I say it.
MAYA
I hope so.
LUCAS
What's that supposed to mean?
MAYA
I want to know more about you and your family.
LUCAS
You know everything that's important.
MAYA
You come from Texas.I met Pappy Joe.Vanessa is your ex girlfriend,Zay one of greatest friends and you are crazy when you turn Texan.
LUCAS
Yeah.
MAYA
I don't know a thing.
LUCAS
Most relationship fall apart when you know too much about each other.
MAYA
Like whose relationship?
LUCAS
Like Far...
MAYA
Whose?
LUCAS
Nevermind.I don't have clear example,but it's better when you don't know much about the other.
MAYA
Okay.
LUCAS
There's nothing to know,trust me.
MAYA
I hope so.
They kiss and hug.
INT.TOPANGA'S – LATER
Zay and Lucas are sitting at the bar.
ZAY
I don't know doing any job.I don't know what's gonna happen to me as soon as we end college.
LUCAS
You told Maya something about my mother?
ZAY
Me?
LUCAS
She has been asking me about her.
ZAY
She was asking me too.
LUCAS
What did you said?
ZAY
Nothing.
LUCAS
Good.
ZAY
Why aren't you open with her,Lucas?
LUCAS
I can't...not right now.
ZAY
You've known her almost all your life.
LUCAS
I want to talk to you about something else.
ZAY
You've got solution to my problem?
LUCAS
What problem?
ZAY
You aren't even listening to me,are you?
LUCAS
Sorry.
ZAY
Okay.
LUCAS
You think that most people break up because they are too similar?
ZAY
I guess.
LUCAS
Hm.
ZAY
Maya and you are not similar at all.
LUCAS
I was talking about...somebody else.
ZAY
May I know what's this about?
LUCAS
I can't tell you.
ZAY
Well...I guess that most people do break up because of realizing how similar they are.
LUCAS
What if they never realize it and end up hurting each other as soon as they come to realization?
ZAY
Dude,you are confusing me.
LUCAS
I just one some advice.
ZAY
Hey...you and Riley were similar.I think that's why your relationship never worked.
LUCAS
We were similar,but we loved each other in friendly way.
ZAY
I don't know.
Then,Farkle and Riley enter.As soon as they enter,Lucas looks at Riley.
RILEY (to FARKLE)
I'll order some drinks.
Farkle and Zay sit for the table.
LUCAS
I want to help you,Riley.
RILEY
That was all I asked for and you did.
LUCAS
I did?How?
RILEY
I finally managed to say I love you to Farkle.Thank you,Lucas.
LUCAS
So...you know how you feel?
RILEY
Yes.
LUCAS
How you feel,Riley?
RILEY
I love Farkle.
LUCAS
Do you know how you love him?
Riley keeps silent,thinking,a bit confused.
RILEY
Um...
LUCAS
Riley...how you think you feel is actually how you really feel.
RILEY
I heard it once.
LUCAS
I know how you feel.
RILEY
The only one who knows how I feel is Maya.
LUCAS
Why's that?
RILEY
She knows me.
LUCAS
I know you too.Farkle knows you too.
RILEY
What does that mean?
LUCAS
You two know each other better than anyone else.
RILEY
Yeah.
LUCAS
You will know what is that like that.
RILEY
Can't you tell me?
LUCAS
I,indeed found out something about you and I still can't say it.
RILEY
You are killing me.
LUCAS
I need you to get it yourself.
RILEY
Okay.
Then,Farkle comes.
FARKLE
Riley,I am ready.
RILEY
For what?
FARKLE
I need to do this.
RILEY
You are scaring me.
FARKLE
We've been together all our life...more together than apart.I am so sure of what I'm about to do.I am asking you to marry me,Riley.
RILEY
Um...
FARKLE
You don't need to answer now or later.I'll wait forever for this answer.
RILEY
Farkle...
FARKLE
I love you,Riley.I want to marry you and I'd never thing of marrying anyone else.So...this wasn't some fancy proposal,but I am just asking for your answer.When you are ready to give me the answer,do it.

ACT TWO
INT.RILEY'S APARTMANT – NIGHT
Riley and Maya are sitting at the sofa.
MAYA
You are getting married?Before me?
RILEY
No one's getting married,okay?
MAYA
But,he asked you to get married.
RILEY
It wasn't even proposal,so...
MAYA
But...you want to get married,right?
Riley keeps silent.
MAYA
Okay...this is weird.
RILEY
Of course I'd love to get married one day,but...I don't think the right day has come.
MAYA
But,if you really love someone,the right day is every day.
RILEY
Of course I love him.How can you possibly doubt it?
MAYA
I am not doubting anything.I am just...worried.
RILEY
I need your help,Maya.Something's going on and I don't get what.
MAYA
I can't help you,Riley.
RILEY
Why not?
MAYA
I am not you.I once was and it was stupid to even guess how you feel.
RILEY
I know how I feel.
MAYA
Okay.
RILEY
I do!
MAYA
Why are you asking me then?
RILEY
I don't know.
MAYA
You know how you feel,right?
RILEY
Yes.
MAYA
What are you scared of?
RILEY
I don't know.
MAYA
Well,I prefer being asked to marry than being angry with my boyfriend.
RILEY
What happened?
MAYA
He avoids talking about his mother.
RILEY
Oh.
MAYA
You see...your thing is nothing compared to mine.
RILEY
Why do you think he avoids it?
MAYA
He might be hiding something.
RILEY
I don't think so.He's Lucas.
MAYA
So?You think he's still the Mr.Perfect he was back when we met him?
RILEY
I don't know anymore.
MAYA
He was as broken as I was.
RILEY
You love him,Maya.I don't think you can get mad whatever he does.
MAYA
Yeah.
RILEY
But,it's weird that he hadn't told you anything about her yet.
MAYA
Well,Farkle indeed always tells you everything...there's no secrets or untold things between you,guys.It's like he's your ...
Then,she stops talking.
MAYA
Oh.
RILEY
My what?What just happened?
MAYA
Nothing.Nothing happened.Let's not do this anymore.
RILEY
Okay.
And they keep sitting there,in silence.

LUCAS
So,Riley is confused,right?
MAYA
I don't know.
LUCAS
I knew it.
MAYA
You knew what?
LUCAS
Nevermind.
MAYA
Are you finally opening up about your mother?
LUCAS
Maya...
MAYA
You know what?Just forget it!
She's about to leave,but he takes her hand.
LUCAS
It's just...not my moment.
MAYA
When it's gonna be?
LUCAS
My moment will be my moment.
Maya smiles.
LUCAS
I'll tell you about it when the moment is right.

Okay.
LUCAS
Okay?

RILEY
Wow...this is...
FARKLE
You like it?
RILEY
Are you kidding?
FARKLE
Thank god.
RILEY
What's the ocassion?
Farkle looks straight into Riley's eyes.
FARKLE
I didn't propose right.
RILEY
Farkle...
FARKLE
I know you didn't expect it that way,but I am sometimes one big mess.
Riley smiles,as he takes the ring from his pocket.
RILEY
