【TV show】淘小子看世界 Hometown hero [4-6] (4/455)

Isn’t it great what’s happening to Cory? Everyone loves him.

Cory, Cory, Cory…

This was the greatest day in my life. Do you think the student council’s familiar with you Shawn?

What?

Get the school named after me. Cory Adam’s High.

Look, Cory. I’m glad you are having a free ride and all, but…

What, Shawn, what?

I just want to make sure you still have your feet on the ground.

You know it sounds like you are trying to rain on my parade, which I believe is on Tuesday. 

I’m just saying what you said, you know. Don’t buy into your own hype.

Shawn, this is different, alright? I’m just letting people think what they want to think. It’s not like I’m gonna walk in this door and lie to my parents.

Surprise!

For me? 

Yes. There’s the man that saved the school.

Eric told you?

I didn’t have to.

Hey, everybody told that, the phone hasn’t stop ringing all day.

Well then, why don’t you just answer it?

Cory, tell us everything.

Well, mom, dad, I don’t know what you guys have exactly heard, but here’s what really happened. I was walking back from chevies when I saw the flames. I didn’t have time to think. The next thing I know I am running into the building…

Wah! Shawn, you didn’t stay for dinner last night.

I wasn’t hungry.

Look, I know you’re mad at me and I don’t want to lie to my parents but I just figured that if I told them the truth, it would make things a lot worse, you know.

Sure, you are not just getting off from this whole thing.

Shawn, I’m just giving people what they want. I mean I don’t want to disappoint them.

Disappoint them?

Listen to My Morning. Listen to this. Photo-shoot with the home-coming queen. Sushi with doctor Soral. Then I gotta fight traffic to bring * strange student at the airport. I don’t know how to make it stop.

Just tell them “no”.

Well, I’m afraid to do that.

Why?

I don’t what to go back to be the same old Cory Matthews.

What was wrong with him?

Shawn, I’ve been in this school for two years and people still call me Eric’s brother, Shawn’s friend or my favorite “Hey-kid-move”.

Cory, aren’t you afraid this whole hero thing’s getting out of control?

Look, I lied to my school, I lied to my folks. How much worse can it get, right? 

Matthews, how would you like to tell the rest of Philadelphia what a hero you are?

Here’s your answer.

Eli called some of his buddies, arranged for your appearance on Philadelphia Tonight.

They want me on TV?

No, not just you. They want your whole family. They’ll be at your house tonight.

Ah, how great is that?

Excuse me.

Famous people. They’re all weird.

Come on. Eli, he’s just nervous. I mean he can save a guy from a ******* building but he’s scared of a little TV camera. It's almost cute.

That’s it, Shawn. I’ve reached my limit. I can’t go through with this. 

Can’t go through with what, Mr. Matthews? 

Cory’s gonna be on TV.

What on earth for?

 They just want him to tell the whole story about the fire.

Oh wonderful. I have also been waiting for him to tell the whole story.

Well, Mr. Pheeny. I think you pretty much know everything.

Perhaps you’re right.

What did he mean by that?

Oh, it’s Pheeny. Three years, and I still don’t understand a word he says.

Hello, you are on the air with Dr. Sharon.

 Hi, Dr. Sharon. First time caller.

 And your name is?

Gomis.

 And why are you calling this afternoon?

Well, I needed somebody to talk to.

Talk to me, Gomis. Gomis?

Oh, right, that’s me. Well, Dr. Sharon, I’m in kind of a bad situation. See ah, people think I’m something I’m not. And I wanna come clean. But I’m afraid the truth is only gonna make things worse.

So what I’m hearing is you are in need of a little courage?

Yes, yes I am. But where do I find that?

I suggest you look deep inside yourself.

I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes, that’s the best you can do?

I have another suggestion. This evening at 7:30, tune into Philadelphia Tonight. They’re doing an inspirational story about a brave boy named Cory Matthews.

Oh, no, What the heck do you know lady?
