Sawn: Yeah we were

Riley: What do you mean you were?!

(Shawn puts a hand over Riley's mouth)

Shawn: Shh!

(Shawn puts his hand down)

Riley: why are you shhing me?

Shawn: Because I don't want your mother to know I'm here.

Riley: Why?

Shawn: Because Maya showed me the email. I know what your mother has been keeping from me for the past sixteen years.

Riley: Oh so you do think she's your daughter?

Shawn: You knew?

Riley: I was with Maya when she read the email.

Shawn: Can you go get your father?

Riley: yeah sure.

Riley: Dad could you come into my room a sec I need your help with something?

Cory: Sure Riley.

Cory: Shawnee!

Shawn: Hey core.

Cory: what's wrong?

Shawn: Read this Email

Cory: What! Topanga!

(Topanga Rushes into the room.)

Topanga: what Cory? What's wrong? Is Riley okay?

Cory: The jig is up!

Topanga: I have no idea what you're talking about core

Cory: You told me you lost contact with Angela years ago.

Topanga: Oh that? Oh and Shawn's here lovely. Do you want tea coffee?

Cory: Don't change the subject you're full of lies woman lies.

Topanga: well I am a lawyer.

Shawn: This isn't funny Topanga! You ruined my life!

Topanga: I did not ruin your life Shawn.

Shawn: I didn't know I had a daughter for sixteen years and all this time you knew, and you never told me. What kind of friend are you.

Topanga: A friend who can keep a secret when she's told to. Besides it wasn't my place to tell you.

Shawn: It would have been if you were my friend too.

(Shawn leaves through Riley's window)

Topanga: wait Shawn

Cory: I love you Topanga but you screwed up big time. I I'm going to go find Shawn before he does something stupid.

(Cory leaves through Riley's window)

Cory: wait I'm coming with you buddy!

Topanga: would you have told one of your friends if they got Maya pregnant?

Riley: I don't know I only turned fourteen last month, and that's a huge question.

Topanga: yeah that was a stupid question of Course you're too young to understand.

(Topanga begins to walk back into the kitchen.)

Riley: Hey Mom

Topanga: Yes sweetie?

Riley: Sometimes we have to accept no matter how much we love a person they may not always do the right thing.

Topanga: what makes you say that?

Riley: that's just what Maya told me.

(Maya walks through window)

Maya: Yep kid I did. To answer your question Mrs. Mathews the right thing would have been for Angela to tell Shawn herself, but when she didn't. You needed to accept she wasn't going to do the right thing. You should have told him yourself about fifteen years ago.

Topanga: Your right Maya I should have.

(Topanga leaves Riley's room)
