: Interior. John Quincy Adams Middle School History classroom. Cory is holding a cell phone.Cory:You guys don't connect with each other. It's like you can't exist without these. You use emoticons rather than emotions. You're an unfeeling generation of zombies. (Riley and Maya mimic zombies)Stop eating her. You're late, Miss Myzell.Myzell:(Flatly) My goldfish died.Cory:You see? This is what I'm talking about. Miss Myzell has clearly suffered a tragic loss. Yet, she does not seem in touch with her actual emotions!Myzell:(Flatly) Excuse me? I am crying my eyes out. I'm gonna have to leave class early.(Exits)Cory:Oh, she actually made it out the door this time. (Opens the door)Myzell:(Appears in the doorway) I actually made it out the door this time!Riley:Dad, adjust and deal. Cell phones have been around for, like, ever.Cory:It'll amaze you to know that there was a whole world before you and cell phones.Riley:And it'll amaze you to know that I have 394 friends in here. (Taps her cell phone screen)Cory:And I'm amazed that you believe that.Cory:(Draws a line across the chalkboard) This is a timeline of all human existence. Starting here, (Points at the start of the timeline) is everyone who ever lived, laughed, loved, and understood the value of life. The cellphone era, which begins right around here,(Draws a line almost at the end of the timeline) pretty much destroys all of that. Way to go, you.Lucas:(Raises his hand) Sir, if I may take a different position?Cory:Yeah, save me, Mr. Friar. Do I go too far?Lucas:Always, sir. I understand your point, but I use my phone to video chat my old friends and to find out what's going on in Texas.Maya:Yeah. How else can he keep tabs on all the hoedowns and cattle pageants?lilly:Maya!Lucas:It's okay, lilly. I'm unaffected by Maya's views of country life. As my Uncle Buster always says, "Be like an eagle and soar above the mockingbird."lilly (teasingly to her friend):You're the mockingbird.Maya:I know. (To Lucas) It kills me that I can't get to you.Lucas:Sorry, (Tips imaginary hat) ma'am.Maya:(Shudders in annoyance and turns away)Farkle:(Raises his hand)Farkle and lilly time, sir?Cory:Oh, I love Farkle and lilly time.(Farkle Lilly and Cory switch places)Farkle:With all due respect to history, Mr. Matthews, what's important to our generation
Lilly( cont'd):will be on this side of the timeline, when Farkle, Lilly and technology rule.(Farkle To Riley) And I will easily be able to make another one of you. (Pulls a strand of hair out of Riley's head)Riley:Ow.Farkle:(To Maya) And another one of you.(Pulls a strand of hair out of Maya's head)Maya:(Flatly) Ow.Riley:Wait, so now there's four of us and one of you?Farkle:That's awesome. The future, you can't escape it, I am Farkle! Lilly Grace: And I am Lilly!(Farkle lilly and Cory switch places)Cory:The assignment, you can't escape it, I am teacher! Okay, so here's what we're going to do, guys. We're going to split into teams and discover whether or not new technology has made us better people. You'll do presentations on your findings. And here's a twist. No computers.Farkle:What?!Cory:We're going old school. You're going to do your research at the New York Public Library. Lilly: yes!
Maya:Where?!Cory:And here's another twist because I trust you not at all. Give me your cell phones.Riley:No!Cory:Yeah. Come on, hand 'em up, hand 'em up.(Students are complaining) Thank you, thank you. Okay, so our teams for this assignment. Maya and Riley. Farkle:(Sits on Maya's and Riley's laps)What up! (Maya pushes him off)Cory:And lilly, you will be with... No! No! (Bell rings) No! (To Lucas)Why did you have to come here?Lucas:Sorry I make you uneasy, sir.

Riley, Lilly, Maya, and Lucas are in the hallway.Maya:Hey, soaring eagle, you walkin' with us to the library tonight?Lucas:Sure, if that's good with you guys.Maya:Well, seeing as how you're lilly's partner on this assignment, I guess we should find out if it's okay with her. Lilly?lilly:(Stands still)Maya:Lilly, any thoughts on this that might come out of your mouth in word form? No, because you don't have your phone anymore, so what are you going to do to communicate, I wonder? (Lilly smiles ) Oh, look at that. A smiley face from lilly. (lilly nods)And a nod. Matthews' apartment. The family is eating dinner.Auggie:It was a good day. And then my friends treated me nicely. And then my teacher measured us and then I'm growing. And then Jenny Lewis loves me. I think because I'm growing.Riley:It wasn't a good day. And then my friend pulled my hair out. And then my teacher took my phone away. And then my teacher was also my father.Auggie:At least you're growing.Topanga:Honey, please don't come apart. Look at this as a beautiful opportunity to spend time with your family.Auggie:Hello, Riley.Riley:How you doing?Auggie:Want to hear about my day? It was a good day.Riley:Mom!Topanga:Forgive her, Auggie. She misses her telephone.Auggie:Well, then she can have mine. (Auggie gives Riley his toy phone)Toy Phone:The cow goes...Auggie:"Moo! Lilly: aww "Riley:I'm not gonna make it.Topanga:That's what your father thinks.Cory:She can't.Topanga:Honey, please don't make your father right. It's no good for any of us when your father is right.Cory:She's right.lilly grace:Why are you really doing this?Cory:Because I want you and your friends to become human beings. And I believe that by doing this, you guys can learn to become real human beings.Maya:(Intercom buzzes)Hey, losers, it's Maya.Cory:Except her.Riley:You know what? I am going to do this. I can get through this whole thing without making a text or a call. (Walks over to the intercom, and presses the button)Come on up.Topanga:Of course you can, sweetheart. And you know what? You're already a wonderful human being, but every so often, little tests like this are gonna come up.Riley:Why?Topanga:Because it's your father's job to give you little tests. And maybe along the way, you guys are going to learn a little bit more about yourselves.Maya:(Enters) Yeah, like I've learned that I'm actually really okay with all of this.Topanga:You don't miss your phone, Maya? Lilly? Maya:I was the only one in class without a smartphone anyway, and now I kind of feel like everybody's even.Lilly grace: yea i try to limit my phone time so i don't end up avoiding my family for a device.Farkle:(Intercom buzzes)Farkle.Riley:Be ready in a minute.Lucas:(Intercom buzzes)And Lucas.lilly:Ready now! (Exits with Riley and Maya)Cory:Did you see that? You know what that was? That was boys. Too soon for boys. Not ready for boys. I don't want boys. We just gonna accept boys?Topanga:It happened, they're gone. They were nice, we had fun, but we still have him! (To Auggie) You wanna color?Auggie:(Excitedly) Color!Topanga:Of course you do, let's color for the rest of our lives! (Takes out paper and crayons)Auggie:Will I be getting a real cell phone someday?Topanga:Someday. Auggie:Dominic Falcone has a real cell phone.Topanga:Would you rather have a real cell phone or would you rather color with us?Auggie:Color with you. (Cory pumps his fist) Does that get me a cell phone?Topanga:(To Cory) Not too much longer with this one either.Cory:Well, you'll always have me.Topanga:Yeah.Interior. New York Public Library.
