Episode: To the Extreme


(Tootie walks around the living room)


Tootie: When is Natalie coming back with my car


Andy: Maybe Tomorrow


Jo: That's how long you loaned it to her


Tootie: I did. What was I thinking? I have a mail in exam to send off.


Jo: Well, call Natalie, I'm sure she'll come and pick you up and take the car right with her.


Andy: What happened to Natalie's car.


Tootie: It's in the shop. Being her best friend, I gave her my car. Andy, Jo


(Andy and Jo look at each other)


Tootie: If I ever loan Natalie the car again slap me.


(Andy walks up to Tootie)


Andy: Don't you think your being a little harsh to yourself.


Jo: I don't.


(Andy looks at Jo crazy)


Andy: Blair went to visit her father and Beverly Ann went to New York with Oliver for the day, so unless you walk there is no way you'll get to the Post Office.


Tootie: Yes there is


(Tootie smiles at Jo)
Jo: No way, I'm not letting you touch my bike. For 8 years I haven't let you ride my bike what makes you think I would now.


Tootie: Because I'm older, wiser, and you trust me.


Jo: While all those things are true, no.


(Jo walks upstairs)


Tootie: Why not.


Jo: Your 19 years old stop whining.


(Tootie follows)
(About an hour, Tootie runs downstairs)

Tootie: Where's Jo?


Andy: her and Rick went to the mall.


Tootie: Okay, so that means that they went in Rick's car, I see.


Andy: Tootie, no don't even. You don't know what you're doing


Tootie: I don't care, I've got to get this to the Post Office


(Andy guards the door)


Andy: No I can't let you


(Tootie looks down and laughs silently)


Tootie: Boy what are you doing


Andy: Guarding the door


(Phone rings)
Tootie: Hello, Oh Hi Pippa, you wanna speak to Andy okay, telephone


Andy: Hello


(Tootie opens the door)


Tootie: Bye, bye now
