Quotes 

• Danielle Bouseman : I'm auditioning for this year's production of "The Miracle Worker". Did you know Anne Frank was blind and deaf?

  Carter Davis : Uh... Helen Keller?

  Danielle Bouseman : Excuse me?

  Carter Davis : Anne Frank was in the attic.

  Danielle Bouseman : [shrugs]  Oh! Whatever.

• [Tree goes to her sorority house. As she arrives, Lori comes out, on her way to the hospital] 

  Lori Spengler : She finally rolls in...

  Tree Gelbman : Uh, Lori, hi.

  Lori Spengler : [chuckles, noticing Tree's dishevelled appearance]  Big night?

  Tree Gelbman : [grunts]  You could say that. Um, look, Lori, I...

  [pause] 

  Tree Gelbman : It's good to see you.

  Lori Spengler : [chuckles, puzzled]  Wha...? It's good to see you, too, Tree.

  [while Tree fumbles for words, something catches Lori's attention, and her smile fades. Tree follows her gaze and sees Gregory leaning on his car, looks annoyed. Lori sighs sadly and lowers her eyes] 

  Tree Gelbman : He's not worth it. I mean, trust me. I've been involved with a married guy. I know what it's like living a double life. Always feeling like shit about yourself. But it's never too late to change. Someone once told me that "every day is a chance to be someone better." Maybe this is your day.

  [Lori listens to Tree intently] 

  Lori Spengler : [smiles]  Okay. Thank you.

  [Tree hugs Lori. She feels bad for killing her in the original dimension, even though it was of self-defence. She has grown to like Lori in the past weeks she spent in this dimension, and hopes she can save her] 

  Tree Gelbman : Take care of yourself.

  [Tree leaves. Lori sighs, then goes to the hospital. Tree enters the sorority house and heads for Danielle's room. She knocks on the door, but no one answers. She enters the room and sees Danielle dressed in a nightgown and a robe] 

  Danielle Bouseman : [surprised]  Tree...

  Tree Gelbman : Hey. Um... look, Danielle, I feel really bad. I've totally been misjudging you, and it's completely on me. I am so sorry that I've, like, made this...

  [suddenly, Nick comes out of the bathroom, wears only a towel] 

  Nick Sims : [smiles]  Nice... three-way.

  [Tree realizes that Danielle cheats on Carter. She muses that maybe Danielle is not much better than the selfish bitch she is in the original dimension] 

  Danielle Bouseman : [embarrassed]  He's kidding.

  Nick Sims : No, I'm-I'm not.

  Danielle Bouseman : Nick's, um, shower was broken, so I said he could use mine. Right, Nick?

  [naturally, Tree does not believe this lame excuse. Nick is so stupid that he does not understand what Danielle meant] 

  Nick Sims : [puzzled]  My shower's fine.

  [Danielle gives Nick a murderous look] 

  Tree Gelbman : Right. Um, you know what? Never mind. Sorry for interrupting. Bye-ee.

  Nick Sims : Bye-ee.

  [Tree leaves, closing the door behind. Angrily, Danielle slaps on Nick's bare chest] 

  Nick Sims : Ow! What was that for?

  Danielle Bouseman : For being dumb as a rock. That's what.

  Nick Sims : Oh, really? How can a rock be dumb? They don't even have brains.

  [Danielle gapes at Nick's stupidity, and slaps him again] 

  Nick Sims : [annoyed]  Ouch!

• [as Carter is speaking with Danielle on his cellphone, Tree has an idea. She snatches the phone from Carter] 

  Tree Gelbman : Danielle, hi.

  [Carter tries to say something, but Tree covers his mouth with her palm] 

  Tree Gelbman : So, we have a little favor to ask...

  [Dean Bronson sits at the faculty lounge, knitting and and watching TV. Danielle enters, dressed like a French girl, pretending to be blind: she wears dark sunglasses and feels her way with a white cane] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Can I help you?

  Danielle Bouseman : [in heavy French accent]  Oh, perdn. I appear to be, uh, very lost.

  [Bronson stands and approaches Danielle] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Roger Bronson. I'm the dean of the school.

  Danielle Bouseman : Oh, bonjour. My name is, uh, Amelie Le Pew.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh. You must be with the exchange program.

  [Tree and Carter peer into the room through the window in the door] 

  Danielle Bouseman : Ah, oui, oui. Monsieur, may I know your face?

  Dean Roger Bronson : I'm sorry?

  [Danielle feels Bronson's face very roughly, as if she was kneading dough] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : [uncomfortably]  Oh! Oh My.

  Danielle Bouseman : Oh, my. What strong features!

  Dean Roger Bronson : Thank you. You must be French. Your hand smells like cheese.

  Danielle Bouseman : I don't eat cheese. Ah, I am, uh... uh, lactose intolerant.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, quelle dommage.

  [Danielle moves around] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Uh, uh... uh, where are you trying to get to?

  Danielle Bouseman : Uh, le caf.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, you must mean the cafeteria. I'm happy to show you.

  [Danielle looks around and spots the keys, near a chess board] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Here, here. I can...

  Danielle Bouseman : Uh, whoa!

  [Danielle pretends to stumble, deliberately knocking a vase full of marbles with her cane] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, oh! Oh, don't move! You'll trip.

  [Bronson starts collecting the marbles] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, marbles. Marbles! Marbles everywhere.

  [while Bronson is busy picking the marbles up, Danielle grabs his keys and hands them to Tree and Carter] 

  Danielle Bouseman : Go, go, go!

  [Tree and Carter rush to Bronson's office, where their friends are waiting for them. While Danielle gets herself wrapped in a tapestry, Tree tries the keys till she finds the right one. She, Carter, Dre and Ryan enter the office, while Samar is outside, wathcing in case someone comes. They move Sissy out of the office. Samar, Ryan and Dre take it to back to the lab, while Tree and Carter hurry back to the lounge, before Dean Bronson finds out his keys are missing] 

• [Tree, Ryan and Carter sit at the cafeteria. Tree explains to them everything that happened in the first dimension] 

  Ryan Phan : There were two of me?

  Tree Gelbman : [impatiently]  Yes! That is how this whole thing happened.

  Carter Davis : [smiles]  You know, this kind of reminds me of "Back to the Future II".

  Ryan Phan : Totally. Mm-hmm.

  Carter Davis : Right?

  [Tree stares at them cluelessly] 

  Carter Davis : You know, with Marty McFly?

  Ryan Phan : Doc?

  Carter Davis : The DeLorean?

  Tree Gelbman : Sorry.

  Carter Davis : [stunned]  Are you serious? You've never seen "Back to the Future"?

  Tree Gelbman : No, I... how do you... wait. Oh, my God. Does this mean that...

  [Tree looks around fearfully, expecting to see another Tree] 

  Tree Gelbman : ...does this mean that there are two of me?

  Ryan Phan : I highly doubt it. It's almost impossible to create a holographic universe. You're probably stuck in a quantum cyclic dimension.

  [Tree stares at Ryan cluelessly] 

  Tree Gelbman : [impatiently]  There's only one of you here, because the other you got knocked into a parallel dimension somewhere in the multiverse.

  Tree Gelbman : [sarcastically]  Okay, Ryan. Thanks for clearing that up. That was super helpful.

  Ryan Phan : You never heard the multiverse theory?

  Tree Gelbman : Do I look like someone who knows what a multiverse is?

  Ryan Phan : Okay, look.

  [Ryan takes a napkin] 

  Ryan Phan : This is our universe. Okay? Now, look.

  [Ryan folds the napkin several times] 

  Ryan Phan : In theory, the universe has six dimensions. Now, if what you're saying is true...

  [Ryan drives his pen through the napkin] 

  Ryan Phan : ...then maybe you woke up on the same day...

  [Ryan unfolds the napkin] 

  Ryan Phan : ...but not in the same dimension. That would explain the anomalies.

  Tree Gelbman : So, how different are we talking here?

  Ryan Phan : Well, it depends...

  [Tree notices that Danielle approaches them] 

  Tree Gelbman : Oh, shit. I forgot our house meeting. Danielle, I'm sorry. I just...

  Danielle Bouseman : [approaches Carter]  Hey, babe.

  Carter Davis : You doing all right?

  [Tree gapes in disbelief and jealousy: Danielle and Carter kiss for a long moment] 

  Danielle Bouseman : [smiles at Ryan]  Hi, Ry.

  Ryan Phan : [smiles shyly]  Hey, Danielle.

  [Tree is even more puzzled: in the original dimension, Danielle is snobbish and obnoxious, and wouldn't even look at people like Carter and Ryan. Tree concludes it is one of the differences between the dimensions: in the current dimension, Danielle is nice and friendly] 

• Ryan Phan : Great. I have to manually re-enter all this code.

  Tree Gelbman : Okay, how long?

  Ryan Phan : Six, seven hours.

  Tree Gelbman : Ryan, look at me. I am on borrowed time here. Understand? Get it done.

  Ryan Phan : Uh, yeah, I'm on it.

  [Tree leaves. Carter runs after her] 

  Carter Davis : Tree, wait up.

  [Tree continues walking away] 

  Carter Davis : Hey. Are you sure about this?

  Tree Gelbman : Of course I'm sure.

  Carter Davis : Okay, well, what about the killer?

  [Tree stops] 

  Carter Davis : I mean, you said people are gonna die tonight. If you close the loop and we don't help, then they're dead for good, aren't they?

  Tree Gelbman : [firmly]  I have to stay alive. I can't go back to that hospital. It's way too risky.

  [Tree starts walking away] 

  Carter Davis : Okay, so that's it? You're just gonna walk away and let a bunch of innocent people die?

  [Tree stops and returns to face Carter] 

  Tree Gelbman : People die every day, Carter. I can't be responsible for everyone, okay? I know how selfish that sounds, but it's true.

  Carter Davis : [disdainfully]  Yeah, no, that sounds incredibly selfish. Are you serious?

  Tree Gelbman : [shakes her head tearfully]  That's not fair. You have no idea how hard this is for me. I don't want to have to choose between you and my mom, but I have to.

  Carter Davis : What do you mean, "choose"?

  [Tree hesisates for a moment] 

  Tree Gelbman : Carter, we're together in the other dimension.

  [Carter gapes] 

  Tree Gelbman : I woke up in your bed every morning, just like this morning. I did it over and over and over again until I fell in love with you. But that version of us is back there, and my mom is alive here. So I've made my decision.

  Carter Davis : Wh... what if you're wrong? Huh? What if you're wrong? What if this isn't the life that you're-you're supposed to have?

  Tree Gelbman : So, what? I'm just supposed to go back to some dimension where my mom's dead?

  [Tree shakes her head, choked by tears] 

  Tree Gelbman : I can't. I can't lose her again.

  Carter Davis : [quietly]  You already did. And none of this is real if it erases that. You're just... you're living someone else's life that doesn't belong to you. Y-Your pain, th-that loss, that's... that's what makes you you. But you have the chance to do something other people only dream of.

  Tree Gelbman : What?

  Carter Davis : You can say goodbye.

  [before Tree can answer, they hear Danielle calling Carter "Yoo-hoo!". She approaches] 

  Tree Gelbman : Your girlfriend's calling you. Better go.

  [Tree walks away] 

  Danielle Bouseman : What's her problem? She just ditched our house meeting.

  [Carter does not answer. His eyes are fixed on Tree, as she getting further from them. Danielle notices that and snaps her fingers before his face] 

  Danielle Bouseman : Hello? What were you guys talking about?

  Carter Davis : [lies]  Nothing. We were just... we were going over school stuff.

• [Tree and Carter return to the lounge with Dean Bronson's keys. Bronson finally unwraps the tapestry off Danielle and helps her stand] 

  Danielle Bouseman : [forgetting she pretends to be French]  Gracias.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Okay. Shall we?

  Danielle Bouseman : Okay.

  [Bronson walks toward the door, then stops] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Ah, forgot my keys.

  [as Bronson heads for the chess board, Danielle swings her cane and hits him on his knee. He bends forward painfully. Danielle swings the cane again, hitting him right in the face, causing his nose to bleed. Watching this, Tree and Carter wince] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : [groans]  Oh, god!

  Danielle Bouseman : Oh, no, mon Dieu.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, that's a lot of blood. Jesus, be careful with that thing.

  Danielle Bouseman : I am so sorry.

  [Danielle looks at the door. Tree shows her the keys. Danielle heads for the door and takes the keys from Tree] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, my God. Oh, I don't think the cane is a good idea for you. You need a seeing -eye dog.

  [Bronson takes napkins and presses them to his bleeding nose. In the meantime, Danielle returns the keys to their original place and sits down near the chess table. To Bronson's confusion, Danielle moves one of the chess pieces] 

  Danielle Bouseman : [smiles]  Checkmate.

  [Tree and Carter rush to the lab. Ryan, Samar and Dre install Sissy]
