Quotes 

• [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 and her friends gather at the lab. Sissy is ready for closing the time-loop and sending Tree back to the original dimension] 

  Ryan Phan : You ready?

  [Tree looks at Carter, then nods. Ryan walks toward the computer] 

  Tree Gelbman : Wait.

  [Ryan stops. Tree faces everyone] 

  Tree Gelbman : I know this is probably pretty confusing. I mean, you guys have only known me for a couple hours...

  [Samar and Dre smile at each other] 

  Tree Gelbman : ...but I've known you for weeks. You've all worked really, really hard to try to send me home. So thank you.

  Samar Ghosh : [jokingly]  Well, jury's still out on whether you're totally nuts, but, uh...

  [Samar chuckles. Dre gives him a chiding look] 

  Samar Ghosh : ...glad we could help.

  [Dre slaps Samar slightly in the stomach] 

  Tree Gelbman : Okay, Ryan, light her up.

  [Ryan sits at the computer desk and turns Sissy on. While the machine warms up, Carter turns to Tree] 

  Carter Davis : S-So, in this other dimension, do we... do we know each other?

  Tree Gelbman : You could say that.

  [Tree and Carter smile at each other] 

  Ryan Phan : 17 seconds. 16, 15, 14...

  [suddenly, Dean Bronson storms in, accompanied by two burly security guards. Tree is shocked, since he was not supposed to do this but a day after] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : [to Ryan]  What did I tell you about turning that thing on?

  Samar Ghosh : Uh-oh...

  Tree Gelbman : [puzzled]  Wait. This isn't supposed to happen yet. You're not supposed to come until tomorrow.

  Dean Roger Bronson : [to Ryan]  Turn that thing off now.

  Tree Gelbman : No, don't!

  [Bronson approaches Sissy. Tree and her friends rush to stop him, but too late. He unplugs the machine] 

  Tree Gelbman : No, wait, please. You can't do this.

  Dean Roger Bronson : And who are you?

  Tree Gelbman : I am a student here.

  Dean Roger Bronson : Oh, well, keep this little attitude up, and we'll change that.

  [Bronson turns to the security guards] 

  Dean Roger Bronson : Get that thing out of here.

  Tree Gelbman : No, please d-don't.

  [the guards ignore Tree and start moving Sissy out of the room] 

  Samar Ghosh : Hey, watch it, beefcake!

  Andrea 'Dre' Morgan : Well, don't manhandle her. Well, where are you taking her?

  Dean Roger Bronson : My office, where it will remain under lock and key.

  [Bronson and the guards leave with Sissy] 

• [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]
