ANNOUNCER:
Previously on Felicity...
There is this guy, Zach,
and we just started
dating, and...
He r*ped me.
I don't know. I
thought I was over it,
but I guess I'm not.
I see the way that
she looks at Greg.
She... She admires him.
She admires that whole,
you know, pre-med,
running the health center thing,
and I don't have that.
Cheers. Cheers.
(INAUDIBLE)
What are you reading?
Uh, it's for history
of western thought.
I swear, I have never
hated a class more than this.
Why don't you get
Noel to help you?
No, I can do it by myself.
But he's the T.A., right?
You don't think I can figure
out Leibowitz on my own?
No, I totally think you can.
Thank you.
It's Leibniz, though, right?
Okay, my ex-boyfriend
just walked in. Nobody look.
Where? I said, don't look!
He's the cute one
over there, okay?
I had a crunch on him, but
he fell too in love with me.
Then he became
obsessive-compulsive.
I said, don't
look. I'll k*ll you.
I was peeking.
Oh, my God. He's
walking over here.
Benjamin, pretend we're dating.
Uh...
No. There's no way. No way.
Oh, and then for my birthday,
Benjamin gave me a bubble bath,
with a lot of candles
and aroma therapy.
(CHUCKLES)
Benjamin, whisper
into my ear lobe.
Javier, I quit.
(GASPS) You tease!
We can't do that here.
I got so lucky, going
with such a hunk.
So lucky.
Oh!
Oh, wait. No, that's not him.
(LAUGHS)
(THEME SONG PLAYING)
(PEN SQUEAKING LOUDLY)
Why don't you just highlight
the things that aren't important?
That way you'll save
time and lots of ink.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Come in. Go away.
Hey, it's Burkey.
Hey, it's not a phone
call. We can see you.
Yeah, I understand that.
Check this out.
What is that?
Business cards from all the
restaurants I deem suitable.
For what?
For the best first
date of your life.
Before you say no...
Just notice the time and
effort that went into this.
Burkey, believe me, I'm so...
Oh, don't... Don't
say flattered.
I'll jump out the window
if you say flattered.
Flattered.
Hey.
Krispy Kreme?
But...
So look through the book.
Yeah, I will.
Just for the record,
you scare the hell out of me.
You ever have nightmares?
Uh, sometimes.
I had one recently
about Meghan's box.
It was really weird.
Why?
Well, I just... I haven't
been able to sleep lately.
I've been dreaming about Zach.
I feel like a w*r veteran
having flashbacks
from the b*ttlefield.
Jeez.
What happens in the dreams?
I just can't sleep.
You know, they have those
counselors at the health center.
I know. Remember?
I went last year.
Technically, I was
supposed to schedule
my third appointment with them.
Maybe you should do that.
(SIGHS)
I don't really feel ready yet.
Doughnuts are really good.
They're too good.
Swollen to the size
of a squash ball?
Okay, I'm gonna make
an appointment for you.
How's, uh...
5:15? We're sort of booked.
Okay...
Hi, just a moment. Um...
All right. We'll see
you then. Sorry.
That's okay. Um, I need
to make an appointment.
Okay, are you a student here?
Yeah. Okay, um...
How's 6:00?
That's all we've got.
Uh, okay. My
name's Leila Foster.
All right, and what
are you here for?
Um, I need to get
the morning-after pill.
Uh, the condom broke.
Oh, God, as if you care.
God, sorry.
Tell me about it.
You know what? Um...
Let me see if I can
get you in earlier.
That'd be great. Thanks.
Hang on a sec.
Hey, I need a favor.
Hmm. "A wind of 10
meters per second,
"measured at a
height of 10 meters,
"will produce a force close to
30 tons per square kilometer
"on which of the following?
"A, Unmown grass. B, Mown grass.
"C, Glass or D, Water."
MCATs?
I'm gonna blow it.
You're not gonna blow it.
Ah... You know
what? You're right.
I'm not gonna blow
it. I'm gonna kick ass.
But if I keep insisting
that I'm gonna blow it...
You'll be really happy when
you just barely squeak by.
Exactly.
What's your favor?
Listen, there's a girl out there
who needs the
morning-after pill,
I was hoping that you
could ask Dr. Evans
if he could see her
between appointments.
Well, I would if it would help,
but we're not
allowed to administer
the morning-after pill.
But my friend got it here
last year. I came with her.
Yeah, it's a recent thing.
Change of policy. It's been a
lot of those lately. It's a hassle.
Yeah, it's a little more than
a hassle for that girl out there.
(INTERCOM RINGS)
WOMAN OVER INTERCOM:
Greg, they need you in six.
Thanks.
Hey, I understand.
You're frustrated.
What can I tell you?
This is my personal hell.
There are
administrators out there
that I would rather
poison than suck up to,
but if I don't keep sucking,
we won't get the
insignificant support
that the university provides,
which we so desperately need.
I think the answer's glass.
My guess was water.
Really?
Um...
I talked to the director...
Oh, you know, if you can't get
me in early, don't worry about it.
No, that's not the problem.
Um, I can't get you in at all.
They don't, um...
I guess we don't give out
that medication anymore.
I know. I know. I
was surprised, too.
But, um... Yeah, I'm sorry.
You're gonna have
to go see your doctor.
Or I have a list here
of local physicians.
I don't even have insurance.
That's why I was coming here.
I'm really sorry. I...
And your director's
okay with this policy?
All I know is that
it's a new policy.
So the university,
which is supposed to
provide women's services
and support students
in situations like this,
they're deciding
what our options are?
I'm sorry. I'm just a volunteer.
That's exactly right.
Now, does anyone think that
Eugene Debs would agree with that?
If so, why? If not, why not?
Ben.
Yeah, um...
I think he would
agree, definitely,
just because this guy
was all for human need
and not private profit.
Yes. True.
Yes, but he's also the
guy who said the following,
"Progress is born of agitation.
"It is either agitation
or stagnation."
I mean, this is the only guy to run
for the presidency from his jail cell,
so I think that he would
adamantly disagree.
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, guys, no one wants to
get outta here more than I do,
so if you'll read the chapter
titled Labor Movements,
I will see you Friday.
Hey, how you doing? I'm good.
Yeah? Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, Ben.
Yeah?
Thanks for raising your hand.
You were... One of two.
Yeah, thanks. I
just feel like an idiot.
Don't feel bad about Debs,
'cause Debs is just Debs.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, look...
If you ever wanna talk
about any of this stuff,
let me know, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
You know that girl who
needed the morning-after pill?
It felt really wrong
turning her away.
Yeah, it's a hassle.
Yeah, that's what you
said before. It's a hassle.
But that sort of
undermines the issue.
Yeah, you know what? I really
wanna hear this whole thing,
but I'm gonna be late for
class. You wanna call me later?
I don't have to. I
have two main points.
I made some phone calls,
and every other major
university in the city
allows their health center
to prescribe that medication.
And two, the morning-after
pill is basically high doses
of the birth control pill which
we do prescribe and do give out,
so I don't understand
what the problem is.
Okay, the problem is that
there were some articles written
about the morning-after
pill and also RU-486.
Now, the university
was mentioned.
Some of the trustees got really upset
and they started making phone calls.
They said that we're
not allowed to distribute
any form of post-coital
contraceptive.
And you know what? I
argued with them, too.
But they won, 'cause
they make up the rules.
And you have no
problem telling students
that we're gonna make
that decision for them,
that it's okay for the administration
to dictate their choice?
I don't like that we're
not allowed to treat people
that aren't students, okay? I
didn't like it when they took away
the funding for the aids
educational task force.
But there's only so many
battles that I can fight.
It's a struggle enough just
to keep the place running!
Yeah, I know, I know. Your
job is hard. I get that part.
But this is wrong.
Okay, you know what?
When I become a doctor
and I have even the
slightest shred of clout,
I promise you that I
will change the policy.
By the way, the
answer was water.
What?
The, uh, the MCAT.
You were right.
The answer was water.
I'll see you tomorrow.
My friend who went
through the date r*pe,
she was so fragile at that time,
and if the health center
would have told her
she had to go somewhere
else to get that pill,
it would have made
it so much worse.
Not that everyone would
want to take those pills,
but it should at
least be an option.
So you've discovered
an injustice.
Well, Greg wouldn't
even take me seriously.
It was almost like he
was defending the policy.
How so?
By saying things like, "I
can't fight every battle."
I'm not asking him
to fight every battle.
I'm asking him
to fight this one.
You're funny.
I'm funny?
You're presumptuous.
How?
How? (LAUGHS)
You assume that just
because something
is deeply important
and valid and righteous
that anybody else is
gonna give a rat's ass.
What does that mean?
It's not Greg's battle.
I know, but he's the director...
It's not Greg's battle. What he
said to you was absolutely right.
Fine. All I'm saying is...
Would you please stop talking?
I know what you're saying.
It's just that... Sitting here
and saying the same thing
in 10 different variations is
not gonna change a damn thing.
So, what?
I'm supposed to do something?

Hi. Uh, I'm Felicity Porter
from the health center.
Um... Did you ever
get what you needed?
Yeah. I went to
Planned Parenthood.
Good. Good. Um...
Do you have a second?
Sure.
Okay. Uh...
Two years ago, some
students found out
that a bunch of the
university T-shirts and hats
were being made in sweatshops,
so they staged a sit-in.
A sit-in.
Yeah. And it worked.
They stopped making
shirts and hats in sweatshops.
And in 1993, there was a sit-in
because the university tried to
restructure its minority affairs office,
and that worked, too.
It only took three days.
You wanna start a sit-in.
For the morning-after pill.
Yeah. Um...
At the health center.
I just wanted to
come by and, uh...
Basically let you know
that I was gonna do it
in case you wanted to join me.
But, you know, you don't
have to decide right now.
I'm so there.
Just give me three
minutes to get some stuff
and invite my boyfriend.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah. When Ben
and Julie get back,
will you tell them to call
me on Elena's cell phone?
Tell them it's
important. Thanks.
Okay. Left messages for Julie,
Ben, Noel, Richard, and Guy.
Oh, my roommate's coming
and she's bringing three friends.
Great. Thanks again for coming,
and skipping class
and everything.
Are you kidding?
Besides, you're the one
that's missing their
giant French exam.
Hey!
Burkey, what are you doing here?
I was just picking
up some medication.
You low on Viagra?
What if I said yes?
Then you'd feel bad, huh?
Hey, so what, uh, is
so unfair to women?
The administration
won't let the health center
give out the morning-after
pill, so we're having a sit-in.
Oh, this is a sit-in?
This is pathetic. I mean,
excuse me, but come on.
No, it's growing.
I mean, we're calling
people. It's getting huge.
Right. Okay, you want a sit-in?
Okay, I'm gonna
go get my claritin,
and I'm gonna round
up a real sit-in. All right?
(SCOFFS) Viagra.
Because all societies change
over time. Everything changes.
Yeah, yeah, I got that part.
So the question is
what kind of change,
and how should it happen,
and does it have to be w*r?
Hey, grab me a Mountain Dew.
Yeah. Thanks.
On the other hand, even a
gradual amount of change
can lead to v*olence.
Who the hell drinks
Mr. Pibb? What's up with that?
Are you listening to me?
Yeah, I'm listening.
Progress and v*olence.
All right.
Hi.
LEILA: Yeah, and absolutely.
See, until recently, the
university did distribute the pill.
This is a recent change.
I can't believe
they won't give me
my morning-after pills anymore.
Lloyd, they're just for women.
Oh.
Uh, Javier, yeah. Is
Ben scheduled today?
Okay. Thanks.
Uh... (LAUGHS)
You did not look
bad. I gotta go. Bye.
Felicity, I'm on the phone
with The New York Times.
How do you spell your name?
Oh, my God. The New York Times?
Felicity, can I talk to you
out here for a second, please?
Uh, Yeah... Uh, Okay.
F-E-L-I-C-I-T-Y.
P-O-R-T-E-R.
Okay, I know you have
the best of intentions,
but now you're starting to disrupt
the operation of the health center.
That's sort of the point.
John Simmons is
coming here at 4:00.
I don't know who that is.
He runs student services.
Okay. Obviously,
as director, how
this clinic operates
is a reflection on me.
Is a reflection on you.
I totally understand.
So distance yourself
and make sure that he knows
you have nothing to do with it.
Felicity, I'm asking Simmons to write me
a letter of recommendation to med school.
Okay?
Now, he's a very important
part of my very uncertain future.
Greg, I'm... Please!
There are other ways to get
what you want here, okay?
And it's not just your
future you're risking.
Every student sitting out there
could end up in serious trouble.
You trust me.
You stop this before
it gets any bigger.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
So, women, please show
up. Thank you, ladies.
Thank you much. How's it going?
There you are. How's it going?
Unfair to women. To women.
Go to that.
How's it going? Unfair to women.
How you doing? How you doing?
Read this. Bring your
girlfriend if you can.
Here you go. Here
you go. Thank you.
It's unfair... It's
unfair to women.
Here you go. Here
you go. Here you go.
How's it going? Nice to meet ya.
Hey, hey, please?
You going to this?
Bring as many girls as you can.
It a good cause.
And it's unfair, you know,
to women. Just read it.
What about this guy Bakunin?
"The passion for
destruction is a creative one."
What is that?
Yeah, he was a pretty angry guy.
And, by the way, also
the total opposite of...
Is this a test?
Yeah. This is a test.
The opposite of...
Marxist Communism?
See? Now you
know more than I do.
Good. Wanna take a break? I
need a beer. You want a beer?
No. You actually don't
know more than I do.
We have six chapters left.
What are you doing?
Of course.
It's funny. I never did
any work in high school.
Really?
Yeah. You're not surprised.
Hey, I didn't say that.
I feel bad I did so little work.
I mean, I got, like, Bs and Cs,
and I didn't fail anything.
Probably should have.
So, your high school, uh,
days were spent mostly what?
Um... Partying.
Swimming, running, you know.
Girls.
Yeah, um... Definitely girls.
Yeah.
You and I had diametrically
opposed high school experiences.
What do you mean?
Well...
If in high school
you were Bakunin...
All right? Then I was Marx.
I understand.
Okay, you got that side? Yeah.
Okay. Does that look straight?
LEILA: Uh, yeah.

Hello? JULIE: Is Felicity there?
Uh, yeah. Hold on.
It's Julie.
Hey. JULIE: Where are you?
At the health center.
We're having a sit-in.
It's about the
morning-after pill.
They, um...
You know, we might
end it pretty soon.
Hold on a second.
MAN: Okay, listen up!
I have a brochure here we
put together a few years ago.
It has instructions
on what to do
when you get arrested.
Arrested? Arrested?
Folks! Folks! You've got to
accept that's a real possibility here.
Maybe Greg is right.
Maybe this isn't the best idea.
What do you mean?
I've been sitting on my ass for
hours, and now you decide this?
I'm just saying maybe we could
start a petition or we could write letters.
We could be here for days. I
mean, what if nothing happens?
Or what if we get what we want?
You know, I don't know why
you're having second thoughts,
but I'm staying.
Yeah.
Hey! The sit-in's
still on, right?
ALL: Yeah!
Come on, guys!
(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Oh, my God.
Sorry. Yeah.
Um...
You might as well.
ALL: (CHANTING) There's no
laughter, without the morning-after.
We'll stay until
we get that pill.
There's no laughter,
without the morning-after.
Um, I think it's
cool that you came.
Why wouldn't I?
Because you're having a baby.
Elena didn't think you would
support the morning-after pill.
You guys think
I'm crazy, don't you,
doing what I'm doing?
No, I just think your
life is going to change
in ways you can't even imagine.
Um, excuse me.
Hi. Uh...
We just got off the phone
with Assistant Dean McDowell.
And, um, apparently,
the administration's
official response
is no response.
They're not even
willing to talk to us.
MAN: Boo!
Uh, so we... We might
be here for a while.

You want another beer?
More beer?
How much beer is in there?
Uh, how much beer?
There's two more.
Two more beers, so that means
we gotta go to a bar because...
Because there's only two more.
Oh, my God, I'm
wickedly kicking your ass,
which I've always wanted to do.
Yeah, always. Ow! Ah!
(LAUGHS)
Damn it!
Ow! You did that on purpose!
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry. Damn it!
I'm sorry. I didn't
do that on purpose.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
You know what?
Here. Hit me back.
What? Just hit me back.
No, I'm not gonna hit you.
Come on. It's payback.
No. I'm not gonna hit you.
I hit you, you hit me.
I'm not gonna hit you!
(GROANS) Come on. Come on.
You always wanted to kick my ass.
Come on. Come on.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
No. I am not going
anywhere. Ma'am, if I...
How bad was it?
(EXHALES)
Bad.
Really, uh, extra, extra bad.
So, no letter of recommendation?
He's not a fan at the moment.
They're not gonna give
in on this, you know.
The trustees
give this university
millions of dollars every year,
and if some old guy says
stop giving out aspirin,
then everyone is gonna
walk around with a headache.
(SIGHS)
Whatever happens...
I'm really sorry about Simmons.
Me, too.
I have to make some calls. Um...
Looks like we're gonna
be closed tomorrow.

Julie, you should
really consider
making an appointment
with one of those counselors,
just to talk to someone.
Anyone you want.
I know.
It's so stupid, but...
When I make
those tapes to Sally,
it just sort of helps.
It's just letting it out.
Usually, the less I want
to talk about something,
the better it feels once I do.
Yeah.
Part of me wants to, but...
I don't know why I'm so scared.
I just am.
Oh.
Ben?
Are you dead?
Yeah.
Oh...
Okay.
Okay.
This is an emergency.
I'm gonna need some lime juice,
some tomato juice,
some eggs...
And some baking soda.
Why?
I'm telling you, this is
gonna save our lives.
So we, uh...
We sort of got in
a fight last night?
Yeah.
Who won?
I really don't think it was you.

FELICITY: This doesn't feel
like a real protest, though, does it?
RUBY: It does to my butt.
ELENA: Come on.
This is important stuff.
This is a serious 'cause
that we're fighting for.
ALL: Oh!
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, okay, it's not exactly
like the old protests in the '60s...
Right, like where
they put flowers in r*fles
and burned their bras and stuff.
Yeah, but to burn a bra,
you've got to wear a bra.
Oh, that's so true.

EDWARD: Since I
started back at the hospital,
John and I have had lunch
a couple times, and, um...
He's been kind enough to
offer me a third-year course
to teach next semester.
So I was a little surprised
when he called today
and asked if I might
give him some help
in resolving this sit-in thing.
And I asked him what
this sit-in thing was,
and he suggested that
I look at the newspaper,
which I did.
The newspaper?
What page?
Thirty-two.
Now, I understand how
important... Sweetheart?
I understand how
important this issue is to you,
but you're at the health
center in the first place
because you're being punished,
and you don't get out of trouble
by getting into more trouble.
That's obvious.
We're asking you, as
spokesperson of record,
to help bring an end
to your demonstration.
In exchange, the administration
will conduct a full review of our
policy on post-coital contraception.
A review?
Look, I talked to
Dean Allison myself.
This is the best it's gonna get.
You talked to the dean?
And the worst...
You could lose your
position as resident advisor.
You could get expelled
or even arrested.
After all this, you could end
up with nothing more than...
Than a police record.
Now come on. That's silly.
I want you to go out there, and I
want you to end this thing right now
before it gets out of control.
No.
No. I'm not... I won't.
Yeah, I might get
in trouble for this.
I might get expelled
or arrested. I...
(EXHALES)
That's my choice.
I will not sit here and
watch you do that to yourself!
It's not just me, Dad. I'm
not the only one out there!
This isn't like
the rollerblades.
You can't just take it away
or make it stop
because you want it to!
I'm not a kid anymore.
I know you're not.
Thank you for the offer,
but I really do think
this is a bad policy
and everyone out
there wants a change,
and I don't think...
I don't think a
review's going to work.
Greg, would you
please explain to Felicity
what you were telling me before?
No, I won't.
She's right.
She's right, and
you know she's right.
I have asked for a
thousand things here,
free flu sh*ts,
needle-exchange programs.
They're all in review.
They all get stuck in review.
(SIGHS)
I'm with you.
I'm with the sit-in.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Felicity, the news is here,
TV cameras and everything,
and they want to talk to you.
Excuse me.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Hi. I'm Felicity Porter.
Sue Morgan, WPED.
Could I get you on
camera for a few questions
about why you're all here today?
Yeah. Can I... Can
I just have, uh...
Just a minute?
Sure.
You guys, I cannot talk on TV.
I'm sweating already.
Just relax.
Maybe you could talk
about your experience.
No, no. If my parents found
out I was even having sex,
they'd fly to New
York to k*ll me.
Okay, listen, you
did such a good job
talking to those
people downstairs.
You can totally do this.
I got an ulcer doing that.
Felicity, just relax. You
can do it. Just focus.
Just focus.
JULIE: You got it.
I mean, it can't
be that hard, right?
All right.
And what was the point
of Marx's response?
Um...
That, uh... (CLEARS THROAT)
Sometimes the ends
justify the means.
Good. We're done.
Now, just promise me we will
never have to study together again.
I promise. Okay.
We're protesting our
university's decision
to stop the distribution
of the morning-after pill.
And why is this issue so
important to you, personally?
Do you see this, too? Yeah.
Well, it's... It...
It's about women, you
know, having the right.
It's about choice, and, um...
If I were, uh...
Uh... You know,
if I needed to...
Could I start over?
No, you can't start
over. You're live.
Oh, my God.
(CHUCKLES) Um, okay...
It's important, you
know, for a lot of reasons,
one of which being that, um,
well, uh...
Comfort.
Can you explain that?
Well, for students
that have been r*ped,
for example.
You know, um...
You feel really
confused and scared
when... If you go through
something like this.
I mean, I know because I did.
Um...
And it's only
natural for students
to want to go to their college
health center, you know?
'Cause the last thing, you know,
the very last thing you
would want to imagine
is that you got
pregnant from that r*pe.
Last year, they actually...
The university health
center, they did...
They distributed the pill,
and, um...
It was, you know, one less
thing I had to worry about.
But, um...
I don't know, now, because of
some trustees' misunderstanding
of how important this pill is,
they've decided not to...
Not to give them out,
and, God, that is so wrong.
Not just for women
that have been r*ped,
but for all women
and their partners...
You know, for everyone.
It's just... It's so wrong.
And that's why
this is so important.
SUE: Well, good luck to you.
I'm Sue Morgan reporting live.
Back to you, Ken.
Did I just say that?
Oh, my God.
Was it okay?
Julie, you were so great.
Oh, my God.
BOTH: Oh, my God.
(INAUDIBLE)
Okay, somebody's
got to take a shower,
or I got to get out of here.
One or the other.
Thanks.
Seriously. That was...
A giant, unexpected gift.
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
There's been so many
things that I wanted to change,
but I never made
the decision to act.
(PHONE RINGING)
So thank you.
MAN: Greg, it's
Dean Allison for you.
I'll take it in my office.
Hello?
Yes, sir.
No, not, uh... Not very.
(SOFTLY) He says
he saw Julie on TV.
What's he saying?
Uh...
Actually, no, I
don't understand.
He called you and told you that?
One of the trustees
saw Julie on TV, too.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
What's he saying?
Okay.
Absolutely.
I understand.
Yes.
Thank you. I...
The same to Dr. Simmons.
Okay. What?
Goodbye.
Apparently this was all
a big misunderstanding.
What?
They're backpedaling. You won.
We won!
We won.
Oh, my God!
We should go tell everyone else.
Yes.
I liked your cheer.
BOTH: Thank you.
GREG: Hey, everybody, listen up!
Listen up, everybody!
Here.
Um...
Thanks to everyone here.
Especially Julie Emrick.
(LAUGHS)
They caved.
(ALL CHEERING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
She kissed you, didn't she?
What?
Yeah. I can see it
all over your face.
That's not fair.
I do all the cooking, and
you end up with the cake.
Felicity and, uh, Greg.
Can you believe that?
I'm gonna k*ll her.
You wanna dance?

Previously on Felicity...
There is this guy, Zach,
and we just started
dating, and...
He r*ped me.
I don't know. I
thought I was over it,
but I guess I'm not.
I see the way that
she looks at Greg.
She... She admires him.
She admires that whole,
you know, pre-med,
running the health center thing,
and I don't have that.
Cheers. Cheers.
(INAUDIBLE)
What are you reading?
Uh, it's for history
of western thought.
I swear, I have never
hated a class more than this.
Why don't you get
Noel to help you?
No, I can do it by myself.
But he's the T.A., right?
You don't think I can figure
out Leibowitz on my own?
No, I totally think you can.
Thank you.
It's Leibniz, though, right?
Okay, my ex-boyfriend
just walked in. Nobody look.
Where? I said, don't look!
He's the cute one
over there, okay?
I had a crunch on him, but
he fell too in love with me.
Then he became
obsessive-compulsive.
I said, don't
look. I'll k*ll you.
I was peeking.
Oh, my God. He's
walking over here.
Benjamin, pretend we're dating.
Uh...
No. There's no way. No way.
Oh, and then for my birthday,
Benjamin gave me a bubble bath,
with a lot of candles
and aroma therapy.
(CHUCKLES)
Benjamin, whisper
into my ear lobe.
Javier, I quit.
(GASPS) You tease!
We can't do that here.
I got so lucky, going
with such a hunk.
So lucky.
Oh!
Oh, wait. No, that's not him.
(LAUGHS)
(THEME SONG PLAYING)
(PEN SQUEAKING LOUDLY)
Why don't you just highlight
the things that aren't important?
That way you'll save
time and lots of ink.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Come in. Go away.
Hey, it's Burkey.
Hey, it's not a phone
call. We can see you.
Yeah, I understand that.
Check this out.
What is that?
Business cards from all the
restaurants I deem suitable.
For what?
For the best first
date of your life.
Before you say no...
Just notice the time and
effort that went into this.
Burkey, believe me, I'm so...
Oh, don't... Don't
say flattered.
I'll jump out the window
if you say flattered.
Flattered.
Hey.
Krispy Kreme?
But...
So look through the book.
Yeah, I will.
Just for the record,
you scare the hell out of me.
You ever have nightmares?
Uh, sometimes.
I had one recently
about Meghan's box.
It was really weird.
Why?
Well, I just... I haven't
been able to sleep lately.
I've been dreaming about Zach.
I feel like a w*r veteran
having flashbacks
from the b*ttlefield.
Jeez.
What happens in the dreams?
I just can't sleep.
You know, they have those
counselors at the health center.
I know. Remember?
I went last year.
Technically, I was
supposed to schedule
my third appointment with them.
Maybe you should do that.
(SIGHS)
I don't really feel ready yet.
Doughnuts are really good.
They're too good.
Swollen to the size
of a squash ball?
Okay, I'm gonna make
an appointment for you.
How's, uh...
5:15? We're sort of booked.
Okay...
Hi, just a moment. Um...
All right. We'll see
you then. Sorry.
That's okay. Um, I need
to make an appointment.
Okay, are you a student here?
Yeah. Okay, um...
How's 6:00?
That's all we've got.
Uh, okay. My
name's Leila Foster.
All right, and what
are you here for?
Um, I need to get
the morning-after pill.
Uh, the condom broke.
Oh, God, as if you care.
God, sorry.
Tell me about it.
You know what? Um...
Let me see if I can
get you in earlier.
That'd be great. Thanks.
Hang on a sec.
Hey, I need a favor.
Hmm. "A wind of 10
meters per second,
"measured at a
height of 10 meters,
"will produce a force close to
30 tons per square kilometer
"on which of the following?
"A, Unmown grass. B, Mown grass.
"C, Glass or D, Water."
MCATs?
I'm gonna blow it.
You're not gonna blow it.
Ah... You know
what? You're right.
I'm not gonna blow
it. I'm gonna kick ass.
But if I keep insisting
that I'm gonna blow it...
You'll be really happy when
you just barely squeak by.
Exactly.
What's your favor?
Listen, there's a girl out there
who needs the
morning-after pill,
I was hoping that you
could ask Dr. Evans
if he could see her
between appointments.
Well, I would if it would help,
but we're not
allowed to administer
the morning-after pill.
But my friend got it here
last year. I came with her.
Yeah, it's a recent thing.
Change of policy. It's been a
lot of those lately. It's a hassle.
Yeah, it's a little more than
a hassle for that girl out there.
(INTERCOM RINGS)
WOMAN OVER INTERCOM:
Greg, they need you in six.
Thanks.
Hey, I understand.
You're frustrated.
What can I tell you?
This is my personal hell.
There are
administrators out there
that I would rather
poison than suck up to,
but if I don't keep sucking,
we won't get the
insignificant support
that the university provides,
which we so desperately need.
I think the answer's glass.
My guess was water.
Really?
Um...
I talked to the director...
Oh, you know, if you can't get
me in early, don't worry about it.
No, that's not the problem.
Um, I can't get you in at all.
They don't, um...
I guess we don't give out
that medication anymore.
I know. I know. I
was surprised, too.
But, um... Yeah, I'm sorry.
You're gonna have
to go see your doctor.
Or I have a list here
of local physicians.
I don't even have insurance.
That's why I was coming here.
I'm really sorry. I...
And your director's
okay with this policy?
All I know is that
it's a new policy.
So the university,
which is supposed to
provide women's services
and support students
in situations like this,
they're deciding
what our options are?
I'm sorry. I'm just a volunteer.
That's exactly right.
Now, does anyone think that
Eugene Debs would agree with that?
If so, why? If not, why not?
Ben.
Yeah, um...
I think he would
agree, definitely,
just because this guy
was all for human need
and not private profit.
Yes. True.
Yes, but he's also the
guy who said the following,
"Progress is born of agitation.
"It is either agitation
or stagnation."
I mean, this is the only guy to run
for the presidency from his jail cell,
so I think that he would
adamantly disagree.
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, guys, no one wants to
get outta here more than I do,
so if you'll read the chapter
titled Labor Movements,
I will see you Friday.
Hey, how you doing? I'm good.
Yeah? Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, Ben.
Yeah?
Thanks for raising your hand.
You were... One of two.
Yeah, thanks. I
just feel like an idiot.
Don't feel bad about Debs,
'cause Debs is just Debs.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, look...
If you ever wanna talk
about any of this stuff,
let me know, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
You know that girl who
needed the morning-after pill?
It felt really wrong
turning her away.
Yeah, it's a hassle.
Yeah, that's what you
said before. It's a hassle.
But that sort of
undermines the issue.
Yeah, you know what? I really
wanna hear this whole thing,
but I'm gonna be late for
class. You wanna call me later?
I don't have to. I
have two main points.
I made some phone calls,
and every other major
university in the city
allows their health center
to prescribe that medication.
And two, the morning-after
pill is basically high doses
of the birth control pill which
we do prescribe and do give out,
so I don't understand
what the problem is.
Okay, the problem is that
there were some articles written
about the morning-after
pill and also RU-486.
Now, the university
was mentioned.
Some of the trustees got really upset
and they started making phone calls.
They said that we're
not allowed to distribute
any form of post-coital
contraceptive.
And you know what? I
argued with them, too.
But they won, 'cause
they make up the rules.
And you have no
problem telling students
that we're gonna make
that decision for them,
that it's okay for the administration
to dictate their choice?
I don't like that we're
not allowed to treat people
that aren't students, okay? I
didn't like it when they took away
the funding for the aids
educational task force.
But there's only so many
battles that I can fight.
It's a struggle enough just
to keep the place running!
Yeah, I know, I know. Your
job is hard. I get that part.
But this is wrong.
Okay, you know what?
When I become a doctor
and I have even the
slightest shred of clout,
I promise you that I
will change the policy.
By the way, the
answer was water.
What?
The, uh, the MCAT.
You were right.
The answer was water.
I'll see you tomorrow.
My friend who went
through the date r*pe,
she was so fragile at that time,
and if the health center
would have told her
she had to go somewhere
else to get that pill,
it would have made
it so much worse.
Not that everyone would
want to take those pills,
but it should at
least be an option.
So you've discovered
an injustice.
Well, Greg wouldn't
even take me seriously.
It was almost like he
was defending the policy.
How so?
By saying things like, "I
can't fight every battle."
I'm not asking him
to fight every battle.
I'm asking him
to fight this one.
You're funny.
I'm funny?
You're presumptuous.
How?
How? (LAUGHS)
You assume that just
because something
is deeply important
and valid and righteous
that anybody else is
gonna give a rat's ass.
What does that mean?
It's not Greg's battle.
I know, but he's the director...
It's not Greg's battle. What he
said to you was absolutely right.
Fine. All I'm saying is...
Would you please stop talking?
I know what you're saying.
It's just that... Sitting here
and saying the same thing
in 10 different variations is
not gonna change a damn thing.
So, what?
I'm supposed to do something?

Hi. Uh, I'm Felicity Porter
from the health center.
Um... Did you ever
get what you needed?
Yeah. I went to
Planned Parenthood.
Good. Good. Um...
Do you have a second?
Sure.
Okay. Uh...
Two years ago, some
students found out
that a bunch of the
university T-shirts and hats
were being made in sweatshops,
so they staged a sit-in.
A sit-in.
Yeah. And it worked.
They stopped making
shirts and hats in sweatshops.
And in 1993, there was a sit-in
because the university tried to
restructure its minority affairs office,
and that worked, too.
It only took three days.
You wanna start a sit-in.
For the morning-after pill.
Yeah. Um...
At the health center.
I just wanted to
come by and, uh...
Basically let you know
that I was gonna do it
in case you wanted to join me.
But, you know, you don't
have to decide right now.
I'm so there.
Just give me three
minutes to get some stuff
and invite my boyfriend.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah. When Ben
and Julie get back,
will you tell them to call
me on Elena's cell phone?
Tell them it's
important. Thanks.
Okay. Left messages for Julie,
Ben, Noel, Richard, and Guy.
Oh, my roommate's coming
and she's bringing three friends.
Great. Thanks again for coming,
and skipping class
and everything.
Are you kidding?
Besides, you're the one
that's missing their
giant French exam.
Hey!
Burkey, what are you doing here?
I was just picking
up some medication.
You low on Viagra?
What if I said yes?
Then you'd feel bad, huh?
Hey, so what, uh, is
so unfair to women?
The administration
won't let the health center
give out the morning-after
pill, so we're having a sit-in.
Oh, this is a sit-in?
This is pathetic. I mean,
excuse me, but come on.
No, it's growing.
I mean, we're calling
people. It's getting huge.
Right. Okay, you want a sit-in?
Okay, I'm gonna
go get my claritin,
and I'm gonna round
up a real sit-in. All right?
(SCOFFS) Viagra.
Because all societies change
over time. Everything changes.
Yeah, yeah, I got that part.
So the question is
what kind of change,
and how should it happen,
and does it have to be w*r?
Hey, grab me a Mountain Dew.
Yeah. Thanks.
On the other hand, even a
gradual amount of change
can lead to v*olence.
Who the hell drinks
Mr. Pibb? What's up with that?
Are you listening to me?
Yeah, I'm listening.
Progress and v*olence.
All right.
Hi.
LEILA: Yeah, and absolutely.
See, until recently, the
university did distribute the pill.
This is a recent change.
I can't believe
they won't give me
my morning-after pills anymore.
Lloyd, they're just for women.
Oh.
Uh, Javier, yeah. Is
Ben scheduled today?
Okay. Thanks.
Uh... (LAUGHS)
You did not look
bad. I gotta go. Bye.
Felicity, I'm on the phone
with The New York Times.
How do you spell your name?
Oh, my God. The New York Times?
Felicity, can I talk to you
out here for a second, please?
Uh, Yeah... Uh, Okay.
F-E-L-I-C-I-T-Y.
P-O-R-T-E-R.
Okay, I know you have
the best of intentions,
but now you're starting to disrupt
the operation of the health center.
That's sort of the point.
John Simmons is
coming here at 4:00.
I don't know who that is.
He runs student services.
Okay. Obviously,
as director, how
this clinic operates
is a reflection on me.
Is a reflection on you.
I totally understand.
So distance yourself
and make sure that he knows
you have nothing to do with it.
Felicity, I'm asking Simmons to write me
a letter of recommendation to med school.
Okay?
Now, he's a very important
part of my very uncertain future.
Greg, I'm... Please!
There are other ways to get
what you want here, okay?
And it's not just your
future you're risking.
Every student sitting out there
could end up in serious trouble.
You trust me.
You stop this before
it gets any bigger.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

What about this guy Bakunin?

destruction is a creative one."
What is that?
Yeah, he was a pretty angry guy.

Is this a test?
Yeah. This is a test.

Marxist Communism?

Good. Wanna take a break? I

No. You actually don't

We have six chapters left.
What are you doing?
Of course.
It's funny. I never did

Really?
Yeah. You're not surprised.
Hey, I didn't say that.
I feel bad I did so little work.
I mean, I got, like, Bs and Cs,
and I didn't fail anything.
Probably should have.
So, your high school, uh,
days were spent mostly what?
Um... Partying.
Swimming, running, you know.
Girls.
Yeah, um... Definitely girls.
Yeah.
You and I had diametrically
opposed high school experiences.
What do you mean?
Well...
If in high school
you were Bakunin...
All right? Then I was Marx.
I understand.
Okay, you got that side? Yeah.
Okay. Does that look straight?

Hello? JULIE: Is Felicity there?
Uh, yeah. Hold on.
It's Julie.
Hey. JULIE: Where are you?
At the health center.
We're having a sit-in.
It's about the
morning-after pill.
They, um...
You know, we might
end it pretty soon.
Hold on a second.
MAN: Okay, listen up!
I have a brochure here we
put together a few years ago.
It has instructions
on what to do
when you get arrested.
Arrested? Arrested?
Folks! Folks! You've got to
accept that's a real possibility here.
Maybe Greg is right.
Maybe this isn't the best idea.
What do you mean?
I've been sitting on my ass for
hours, and now you decide this?
I'm just saying maybe we could
start a petition or we could write letters.
We could be here for days. I
mean, what if nothing happens?
Or what if we get what we want?
You know, I don't know why
you're having second thoughts,
but I'm staying.
Yeah.
Hey! The sit-in's
still on, right?
ALL: Yeah!
Come on, guys!
(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
Oh, my God.
Sorry. Yeah.
Um...
You might as well.
ALL: (CHANTING) There's no

We'll stay until
we get that pill.
There's no laughter,
without the morning-after.
Um, I think it's
cool that you came.
Why wouldn't I?
Because you're having a baby.
Elena didn't think you would
support the morning-after pill.
You guys think
I'm crazy, don't you,
doing what I'm doing?
No, I just think your
life is going to change
in ways you can't even imagine.
Um, excuse me.
Hi. Uh...
We just got off the phone
with Assistant Dean McDowell.
And, um, apparently,

is no response.

Ow! You did that on purpose!
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry. Damn it!
I'm sorry. I didn't
do that on purpose.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
You know what?
Here. Hit me back.
What? Just hit me back.
No, I'm not gonna hit you.
Come on. It's payback.
No. I'm not gonna hit you.
I hit you, you hit me.
I'm not gonna hit you!
(GROANS) Come on. Come on.
You always wanted to kick my ass.
Come on. Come on.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
No. I am not going
anywhere. Ma'am, if I...
How bad was it?
(EXHALES)
Bad.
Really, uh, extra, extra bad.
So, no letter of recommendation?
He's not a fan at the moment.
They're not gonna give
in on this, you know.
The trustees
give this university
millions of dollars every year,
and if some old guy says
stop giving out aspirin,
then everyone is gonna
walk around with a headache.
(SIGHS)
Whatever happens...
I'm really sorry about Simmons.
Me, too.
I have to make some calls. Um...
Looks like we're gonna
be closed tomorrow.

Julie, you should
really consider
making an appointment
with one of those counselors,
just to talk to someone.
Anyone you want.
I know.
It's so stupid, but...
When I make
those tapes to Sally,
it just sort of helps.
It's just letting it out.
Usually, the less I want
to talk about something,
the better it feels once I do.
Yeah.
Part of me wants to, but...
I don't know why I'm so scared.
I just am.
Oh.
Ben?
Are you dead?
Yeah.
Oh...
Okay.
Okay.
This is an emergency.
I'm gonna need some lime juice,
some tomato juice,
some eggs...
And some baking soda.
Why?
I'm telling you, this is
gonna save our lives.
So we, uh...
We sort of got in
a fight last night?
Yeah.
Who won?
I really don't think it was you.
That's exactly what
I was gonna say.
(WHIRRING)
SEAN: This morning marks
the second day of the standoff
between students
and administration.
(CAR HORN HONKS)
Go on!
Oh, hacky sack.
That's pretty cool.
Did you guys meet at
the renaissance fair?
FELICITY: This doesn't feel
like a real protest, though, does it?
RUBY: It does to my butt.
ELENA: Come on.
This is important stuff.
This is a serious 'cause
that we're fighting for.
ALL: Oh!
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, okay, it's not exactly
like the old protests in the '60s...
Right, like where
they put flowers in r*fles
and burned their bras and stuff.
Yeah, but to burn a bra,
you've got to wear a bra.
Oh, that's so true.

EDWARD: Since I
started back at the hospital,
John and I have had lunch
a couple times, and, um...
He's been kind enough to
offer me a third-year course
to teach next semester.
So I was a little surprised
when he called today
and asked if I might
give him some help
in resolving this sit-in thing.
And I asked him what
this sit-in thing was,
and he suggested that
I look at the newspaper,
which I did.
The newspaper?
What page?
Thirty-two.
Now, I understand how
important... Sweetheart?
I understand how
important this issue is to you,
but you're at the health
center in the first place
because you're being punished,
and you don't get out of trouble
by getting into more trouble.
That's obvious.
We're asking you, as
spokesperson of record,
to help bring an end
to your demonstration.
In exchange, the administration
will conduct a full review of our
policy on post-coital contraception.
A review?
Look, I talked to
Dean Allison myself.
This is the best it's gonna get.
You talked to the dean?
And the worst...
You could lose your
position as resident advisor.
You could get expelled
or even arrested.
After all this, you could end
up with nothing more than...
Than a police record.
Now come on. That's silly.
I want you to go out there, and I
want you to end this thing right now
before it gets out of control.
No.
No. I'm not... I won't.
Yeah, I might get
in trouble for this.
I might get expelled
or arrested. I...
(EXHALES)
That's my choice.
I will not sit here and
watch you do that to yourself!
It's not just me, Dad. I'm
not the only one out there!
This isn't like
the rollerblades.
You can't just take it away
or make it stop
because you want it to!
I'm not a kid anymore.
I know you're not.
Thank you for the offer,
but I really do think
this is a bad policy
and everyone out
there wants a change,
and I don't think...
I don't think a
review's going to work.
Greg, would you
please explain to Felicity
what you were telling me before?
No, I won't.
She's right.
She's right, and
you know she's right.
I have asked for a
thousand things here,
free flu sh*ts,
needle-exchange programs.
They're all in review.
They all get stuck in review.
(SIGHS)
I'm with you.
I'm with the sit-in.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Felicity, the news is here,
TV cameras and everything,
and they want to talk to you.
Excuse me.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Hi. I'm Felicity Porter.
Sue Morgan, WPED.
Could I get you on
camera for a few questions
about why you're all here today?
Yeah. Can I... Can
I just have, uh...
Just a minute?
Sure.
You guys, I cannot talk on TV.
I'm sweating already.
Just relax.
Maybe you could talk
about your experience.
No, no. If my parents found
out I was even having sex,
they'd fly to New
York to k*ll me.
Okay, listen, you
did such a good job
talking to those
people downstairs.
You can totally do this.
I got an ulcer doing that.
Felicity, just relax. You
can do it. Just focus.
Just focus.
JULIE: You got it.
I mean, it can't
be that hard, right?
All right.
And what was the point
of Marx's response?
Um...
That, uh... (CLEARS THROAT)
Sometimes the ends
justify the means.
Good. We're done.
Now, just promise me we will
never have to study together again.
I promise. Okay.
We're protesting our
university's decision
to stop the distribution
of the morning-after pill.
And why is this issue so
important to you, personally?
Do you see this, too? Yeah.
Well, it's... It...
It's about women, you
know, having the right.
It's about choice, and, um...
If I were, uh...
Uh... You know,
if I needed to...
Could I start over?
No, you can't start
over. You're live.
Oh, my God.
(CHUCKLES) Um, okay...
It's important, you
know, for a lot of reasons,
one of which being that, um,
well, uh...
Comfort.
Can you explain that?
Well, for students
that have been r*ped,
for example.
You know, um...
You feel really
confused and scared
when... If you go through
something like this.
I mean, I know because I did.
Um...
And it's only
natural for students
to want to go to their college
health center, you know?
'Cause the last thing, you know,
the very last thing you
would want to imagine
is that you got
pregnant from that r*pe.
Last year, they actually...
The university health
center, they did...
They distributed the pill,
and, um...
It was, you know, one less
thing I had to worry about.
But, um...
I don't know, now, because of
some trustees' misunderstanding
of how important this pill is,
they've decided not to...
Not to give them out,
and, God, that is so wrong.
Not just for women
that have been r*ped,
but for all women
and their partners...
You know, for everyone.
It's just... It's so wrong.
And that's why
this is so important.
SUE: Well, good luck to you.
I'm Sue Morgan reporting live.
Back to you, Ken.
Did I just say that?
Oh, my God.
Was it okay?
Julie, you were so great.
Oh, my God.
BOTH: Oh, my God.
(INAUDIBLE)
Okay, somebody's
got to take a shower,
or I got to get out of here.
One or the other.
Thanks.
Seriously. That was...
A giant, unexpected gift.
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
There's been so many
things that I wanted to change,
but I never made
the decision to act.
(PHONE RINGING)
So thank you.
MAN: Greg, it's
Dean Allison for you.
I'll take it in my office.
Hello?
Yes, sir.
No, not, uh... Not very.
(SOFTLY) He says
he saw Julie on TV.
What's he saying?
Uh...
Actually, no, I
don't understand.
He called you and told you that?
One of the trustees
saw Julie on TV, too.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
What's he saying?
Okay.
Absolutely.
I understand.
Yes.
Thank you. I...
The same to Dr. Simmons.
Okay. What?
Goodbye.
Apparently this was all
a big misunderstanding.
What?
They're backpedaling. You won.
We won!
We won.
Oh, my God!
We should go tell everyone else.
Yes.
I liked your cheer.
BOTH: Thank you.
GREG: Hey, everybody, listen up!
Listen up, everybody!
Here.
Um...
Thanks to everyone here.
Especially Julie Emrick.
(LAUGHS)
They caved.
(ALL CHEERING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
She kissed you, didn't she?
What?
Yeah. I can see it
all over your face.
That's not fair.
I do all the cooking, and
you end up with the cake.
Felicity and, uh, Greg.
Can you believe that?
I'm gonna k*ll her.
You wanna dance?
