Scene 6

Interior. Bleecker Street Subway Station. Cory, and Shawn sit on bench talking.

Shawn: Look core I just don't know what to do I can't just run to Europe to find my long lost daughter I have a life here.

Cory: The Shawn I know would have left for Europe the second he found out that he, and Angela had a daughter.

Shawn: I'm not the kid you grew up with any more core I'm engaged

Cory: You finally asked her?

Shawn: Yeah I told you I was going to as soon as I got back in town.

Cory: yeah but she said yes?

Shawn: core you're the one who told me to ask her.

Cory: yeah but I didn't know she'd say yes congratulations buddy.

Shawn: well now I have a soon to be step daughter who needs me, and I can't just go running off the day I got engaged to find a daughter I never knew I had.

Cory: But you have to it's not Marie's fault you found out at a bad time, or that you didn't know till now.

Shawn: Yeah I didn't know all thanks to your wife.

Cory: I know that little she devil, but it was Angela's fault to you know.

Shawn: yeah can I be honest core.

Cory: sure you can buddy.

Shawn: I haven't really scene Angela since we broke up, and I'm afraid if I see her again all those old feelings will just come back up, and I can't hurt Maya, and Katy. I'm scared I'm going to leave them like my mother left me, and I just can't do that to them especially not after all they've been through.

Cory: Shawn buddy you can't be with Angela.

Shawn: how come core?

Cory: because Shawn you two are practically the same person.

Shawn: so?

Cory: haven't you ever heard the saying opposites attract.

Shawn: What's your point Cory?

Cory: My point is Shawn you're right you're not the same person I met way back in the early nineties. You have met the world with open arms and it has tried to beat you down more than anybody I know, but you have always figured out a way to handle this.

Shawn: For you think I'm ready to go from being a bachelor to being a guy with a wife and two teenage daughters?

Cory: Shawn I think you're ready for anything.

(Cory pats Shawn on the back)

(Shawn pulls Cory into a big bear hug)

Shawn: Now you want to help me find where Angela's been hiding my daughter for sixteen years?

Cory: Of course buddy we can just go ask Topanga.

( Cory and Shawn get up from bench and exit the subway station.)
