- [Matt has just drunk about a dozen glasses of orange juice]
- Miranda: You're hitting the juice a little hard there, aren't you, Matt?
- Matt: You wouldn't understand. You see I need to talk to a girl but Lizzie's the only one I know and she's busy.
- [Gordo and Miranda look a little surprised and confused. Gordo gestures to her]
- Miranda: Uh, Matt? I'm a girl.
- Matt: [realising] Hey! You are, aren't you?
- Gordo: [sarcastically; points to Matt] Nothing gets past you, does it?
- [Matt has developed a crush on Miranda and when she arrives at the McGuires' house, he gives her a card with a heart on the front of it and "pop-up" pictures of the two of them]
- Gordo: I hate being right all the time. So, when you two get married, are you gonna move in here, get an apartment, what?
- [Lizzie has got a job working as a "bus person" at the Digital Bean. She is very busy and has just snapped at Gordo for messing around with a ball]
- Miranda: Guess we can't talk to the new workin' Lizzie.
- [Matt comes in on his scooter]
- Gordo: Probably not...
- [sniggers]
- Gordo: ...but you've got the next best thing, your boyfriend!
- Miranda: He is not my boyfriend!
- [Gordo looks at Matt's new licence plate which reads I "heart sign" MRNDA]
- Gordo: But he hearts you, MRNDA.
- Melina Bianco: So, the rumour *is* true!
- Matt: Hello, Melina.
- Melina Bianco: [to Miranda] Listen, just because you can't find a guy your own age doesn't mean you can steal mine. You're just a rebound girl, so keep your distance, 'cause if anyone is gonna get Matt in trouble, it's gonna be me. Got it?
- Matt: [delighted] You really *do* like me!
- Melina Bianco: Let's go.
- Matt: [to Miranda] Sorry things didn't work out.
- Melina Bianco: *Now*!
- Matt: Coming, my angel.
- [Matt and Melina leave]
- Miranda: [sarcastically] Well, that was really easy.
- Gordo: You do realize you just got dumped by Matt?
- Miranda: We're not talking about this ever again, especially to Lizzie!
- Gordo: All right... rebound girl.
- Miranda: That was talking about it!
- Lizzie McGuire: I just hate running to them for every little thing...
- Miranda: [notices the "busboy wanted" sign] Lizzie, you could get a job!
- Lizzie McGuire: ...right at the mall, and I want a pair of jeans, I wanna buy them...
- Miranda: Lizzie, you could get a job!
- Lizzie McGuire: I need independence and freedom.
- [Gordo also notices the "busboy" sign]
- Lizzie McGuire: No, they won't let me have that...
- Gordo: Lizzie, you could get a job!
- [Miranda rolls her eyes]
- Lizzie McGuire: A job? That's a great idea.
- [Miranda now looks stated]
- Lizzie McGuire: What a great idea, I could get a job!
- [Miranda puts her head down her arms, completely resigned]
- Lizzie McGuire: Oh, I'm sorry... What were you saying to me, Miranda?
- Miranda: Huh? Oh, no, I think getting a job is a great idea.
- Gordo: So, when do you start?
- Lizzie McGuire: I start tomorrow.
- Miranda: Oh. But I thought we were all supposed to hang out at the mall tomorrow.
- Lizzie McGuire: Oh, well, we can hang here instead. It'll be fun.
- Gordo: Are you sure? Uh, we don't wanna get you in trouble.
- Lizzie McGuire: Oh, no, I think it'll be fine. Plus, I think I can swing for some free drinks for my friends.
- Gordo: Free? Free is my favorite number.
- Gordo: [after Miranda receives a card from Matt] I think Matt's over Melina.
- Miranda: I know, I give such good advice.
- Gordo: No, no. You're missing my point here. He's over Melina, 'cause he's got a crush on you.
- Miranda: Please, this is Matt! He's just giving me a thank you card.
- Gordo: Yeah.
- [Miranda opens it and screams. The card shows pictures of them together]
- Gordo: I hate being right all the time. So, when you and Matt get married, are you gonna move in here or are you gonna get an apartment, or... what?
- Matt: Mom, Mom! Where's Lizzie?
- Sam McGuire: She just left.
- Matt: Oh, I really needed to talk to her.
- Jo McGuire: Oh, well, you can talk to me, sweetie.
- Matt: Sorry mom but I need to talk to a girl.
