Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 2, Episode 13 - Halloween - full transcript

The gang attends a Halloween costume party at an old brownstone mansion with Steve playing Zorro, Donna dressed as a mermaid in which the costume limits her mobility, and Brenda and Dylan going as Bonnie and Clyde. But the party i...

- Hey, Andrea.
- Hey, Brandon.

Did your pumpkin
have a litter or something?

No, this is for the kids' party
at the Valley Youth Center.

This way, each one has something.

- Oh, isn't that sweet?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You love kids too.

Guilty.

Oh, how sweet.

What's up, Scott? Why aren't you out
blowing up pumpkins or something?

l had this stupid detention thing.
What are you doing?

They're paying me
to make dance tapes



for the Halloween party going on
at the old Brownstone Mansion.

- Who's paying you?
- A couple of guys

from West Beverly and Beverly High,
they just got together on it.

l'm gonna go to the corner.

You crazy? There's not gonna be
an egg fight this year.

That's what the homeowners'
association wants you to believe.

But Lockhart's gonna be there,
and Carlson and Wong and--

And the place is gonna be
crawling with cops.

Great. l love danger.

That's right,
you're a real action figure.

You don't kill a tradition just because
a few cops are gonna be patrolling.

You should come.
lt'll be outrageous.

l think l'm gonna go to the party.

Half the girls in town
are gonna be there,



dancing to my tapes.

Well, if you change your mind,
you know where l'll be.

- All right.
- l'll see you.

Yeah.

Well, you sure captured
the Halloween spirit.

Halloween, bah, humbug.

That's Christmas.
And you can't fool me.

You're probably going
to the big Halloween shindig.

Nope. Why, are you?

No, l wasn't invited.

Yeah, you know, l hate parties.

You go there to socialize,
end up standing around

in a bunch of smoke and noise,
screaming at people that you ''like.''

You wanna leave, but can't,

because you can't find the people
you're supposed to drive home.

And l don't drink,
and l dance like a white guy, so...

But if you wanna go, maybe...

After that build-up, l wouldn't dare.

Well, trick or treat.

Trick or treat.

l don't know. ln Minnesota,
we used to make our own costumes.

l can't picture myself
going to Hollywood Costumes

and renting something for this party

that Joan Collins or somebody else
already sweated in.

Well, l'm pretty sure
they clean them.

Anyway, l'm renting.
So, what's Brandon going as?

Oh, he's staying home.
He does the same thing every year.

He dresses up as Dracula
and tries to scare the trick-or-treaters.

And does he scare them?

Donna,
picture Brandon Walsh in a cape

with big, fake, plastic teeth.

- Scared?
- No.

- No.
- Girls.

Hey, Kelly.

So, what time is Andrew and T.D.
picking us up tonight?

They just blew us off.

Oh, no.

They're going to some bash
in Malibu.

What can l say? They're jerks.

Great.

The worst part is, two months ago,
we rented Lucy and Ethel costumes

to go with their Ricky Ricardo
and Fred Mertz costumes.

Now we're gonna look like fools.

Well, l can't even get Dylan
to agree on any costume,

much less carry a conga drum
and sing ''Babaloo.''

So what?
You and Dylan already have,

like, the best relationship
at West Beverly.

Kelly, that's not true
and you know it.

l know. But l've just been dumped.

Can't l wallow in my own misery?

Sure.
There's nothing like a good wallow.

Mademoiselle Brenda, voulez-vous
carvez une pumpkin avec moi?

- l may barf.
- Kelly.

What time
does Hollywood Costume close?

We'd better get a move on
if we're gonna find something new.

Are you coming?

Yeah, l'm curious to see that old
movie stuff. Dylan, are you coming?

Why do l get the feeling you're
trying to talk me into a costume?

l have no idea.

- Got it, Donna?
- Let's go.

Hello?

Okay, l found it.
This is the one that you reserved.

So did Lucille Ball
actually wear this?

No, come on, Lucy never wore this.

This is what you call
a Lucy-type outfit, okay?

Just like this is a Ricky-type outfit.

We got Lucy, Ricky, Fred, Ethel.

- We got Fred and Wilma.
- All right.

So Desi Arnaz
never actually wore this either?

No, Desi didn't wear this.

But if you're interested,
Gabe Kaplan wore this exact suit.

Whoever. Look, the problem is

that we don't have any
Fred- and Ricky-type guys

to go with the outfits.

- So is it okay if we just look around?
- Yeah.

Just look around. Suit yourself.

Hey, that's funny, huh?
Suit yourself.

- Here it is.
- Yeah.

You know, l always thought
that behind that mask and that cape,

Zorro was just a rich kid
from Beverly Hills.

Well, you know it.
Now let's find out who Dylan is.

Hey, l know who l am,
and l'm not the dress-up type.

Dylan, please, just take a look.

Guys, l do not have to dress up
to have fun, okay?

Come on, don't be a squeef.

There's practically nothing left.
Everything's been picked over.

Kelly, look at this.

We could wear outfits
from The Wizard of Oz.

Yeah? Munchkin number 4 7.
l don't think so.

Well, yeah, maybe not.

Don, hey, check this out.

Oh, baby. Yeah?

No, l really couldn't wear that.

Sure you could,
you have a great body.

l just don't have
what it takes to pull this off.

And you do. See, the guys
would just crack up if l wore this.

So l'm gonna go find something fun.

Fine, l'll try it on.

Dylan. l got it. You as Robin Hood.

Oh, come on, Bren,
can you picture me in a pair of tights?

Oh, can l ever.

Actually, never mind.

- Kelly.
- Yeah?

- Don't you think it's a bit much?
- Bren, l don't have a date for tonight.

lf l am going to this party stag,
l wanna make a splash.

Well, you're more likely
to start a fire in that thing.

Brenda, come on, it's Halloween.

lt's the one night of the year

when we get to dress up
and act a little crazy.

Fine, l guess it's not
all that Halloween-y.

No, but...

- You guys, l got it.
- What?

Well, it's a surprise.

lt's kind of stupid, but l think
it could win for funniest costume.

Whoa, man, this is righteous,
check this thing out.

Look, look, look, look.

- What is it?
- Bonnie and Clyde, man.

So it is.

Yeah, l bet Warren Beatty
even wore this thing.

lt's not likely. l saw that movie.

ln the last scene,
he gets riddled with bullets.

Probably, like, a wardrobe backup,
maybe it was from a test or something.

Yeah, well, whatever it is,
it's mine now.

Hi, l'm Clyde Barrow,
this is Miss Bonnie Parker.

And together, we rob banks.

Mom.

Don't you think the kids here
are gonna be

a little disappointed with raisins?

Oh, they'll get plenty of candy bars
at everyone else's house.

l just wanna give them
something a little wholesome.

l mean, let the other people
give them junk.

Right. You know what they say,
raisins are nature's candy.

l can't believe you just said that.
You don't even like raisins.

- First customer.
- Okay.

Yes, the first victim
to Dracula's castle.

Welcome--

Hey, Bugsy. What's the rumpus?

This is a stickup.
Give me all your candy.

Raisins?

Hey, Bonnie, Clyde's here.

Drift, small guy.

Drop dead, ape.

Nobody move,
or l will fill you full of lead.

Get together, you two. l know
a photo opportunity when l see one.

You look dangerous.

So do you.

l am.

My daughter, the career criminal.

Say cheese.

Come on, look at this house.

- Hey, not bad at all.
- Thanks.

You look pretty good
yourself there, sweetheart.

Oh, well, thank you.

Don't put anybody's eye out
with that sword.

l'll try not to. Hey, did you guys
see Kelly? Did she come with you?

No, she had to make some
last-minute alterations in her costume.

- Did you see it?
- No, it's supposed to be a surprise.

Come on, Clyde.

Guys.

Donna, yeah, your costume,
it's really...

- Really...
- Really long.

Thanks. Oh, but can you help me?

l'm kind of having a little trouble
walking in this thing.

This thing right here.

So, Donna, is this the real you?

You know-- Okay.
--l don't really know, Bren.

- l-- Hi.
- Look out, surf's up.

Check it out.

Check it out.

Oh, my God.

Kelly, what are you going as?

What? l think l look great.

- Did your mom see you like this?
- Brenda, lighten up.

lt's just a costume.
l'm a friendly witch.

Yeah, right, Kelly.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the East.

l mean, do you want guys
staring at you like that all night long?

What's wrong with that?
l wanna make an impression.

You probably don't remember what
it's like having to meet guys, right?

Oh, and that's
how you wanna meet them?

Why? Doesn't it fit?

lt fits fine.

But l'm warning you,
you're looking for trouble.

lf you wanna be Miss Goody-Goody
all night, that's fine. l don't.

l've just been dumped,
it's Halloween,

and if l feel like dressing up
any way l want, l will.

l think l know how
to take care of myself by now.

Fine.

Thank you.

Trick or treat.

Welcome, l am Count Dracula,
l want to suck your blood.

And who are you supposed to be?

That's a Ninja Turtle, Mom.

- And you?
- That's Donatello.

The painter?

No, Mom, the Ninja Turtle.

Oh, of course.
Well, happy Halloween.

You wanna trade?

You'd better be good,
or l'll cast a spell on both of you.

Wow, Kelly, you look...

Don't l?

What is it supposed to be,
some kind of gownless evening strap?

lt's a witch's costume.

Yeah, well, l thought those witches
wore those big things, like a cloak.

l'm sorry if you have
a problem with it.

l have no problem with it, it just leaves
nothing up to the imagination.

Steve, with you and me,
it's all imagination.

- Wow, Kelly, you look great.
- Thanks.

So you wanna dance?

Maybe later.

Oh, okay, sure. l'll see you later.

You like the music?
l picked it out myself.

What do you mean?

lt's sort of a cottage industry.

Why?

Do you wanna dance?

No.

So l guess a night of hot monkey love
is out of the question.

l don't know about this party.

l think l might-- l might be getting
too old for Halloween.

Yeah, l know what you mean.

- Remember the old egg fights?
- Yeah.

Those were fun.

l had a blast.
l've got such great stories.

But that was all junior high school.

Yeah.

Later, Steve.

Hey, David.
What are you doing here?

Walking home.

But l thought you were
really gonna rule at that party.

Yeah, well, l got ruled out.

Well, you're in time for the egg fight.

Lockhart and Carlson
aren't here yet.

- But as soon as they come--
- Scott.

Lockhart and Carlson
were at the party.

Quick, duck.

Could be a cop car.

But we didn't do anything.

Not yet. But l've got plenty of ammo.

Three dozen, grade A, extra large.

You know what you look like?

What?

Like that time when you got stuck
in the doggy door.

- You remember that?
- How old were we?

Like, 8 or 9.

All l know is you told my dad:

''Just hold out a Milk-Bone
and he'll squeeze through.''

No, no, no, it wasn't a Milk-Bone,
it was a Liv-a-Snap.

- That was it, yeah.
- A Liv-a-Snap.

And you laughed so hard
that that's how you popped out.

God, that was classic.

Oh, yeah.

Trick or treat.

Well, well, wellie, well, well.

Aren't you doing well
for yourselves this evening?

Come on, just fork it over.

Okay, fine.

All right, all right, all right.

Here you go, one for you, one for you,
one for you, one for you,

and one for you.

- Happy now?
- Whoop-de-doo, nature's candy.

Happy Halloween.

Well,
feeling a little foolish right now.

l thought you were charming.

Yeah, well, thanks.

What are you doing here?

Babysitting my niece and nephew.
This is Lauren and Drew.

- This is Brandon.
- Trick or treat.

Well, l'm very pleased
to meet the both of you.

Those sure are very scary costumes
you have on.

- Emily made them.
- She cut holes in a sheet.

Wow, wasn't that creative of her?

What can l say? l love kids.
They're twins, you know.

You know, now that you mention it,
l do see a striking resemblance.

You know what, guys?
l'm a twin too.

Show us your teeth again.

- Candy! Candy! Candy!
- Candy! Candy! Candy!

Brandon, is this a trick,
or are you gonna give them a treat?

Yeah, right.

Here you go, here you go.

Mom, Dad,
you remember Emily Valentine?

- Oh, sure.
- Hi, Emily.

Hi, Mrs. Walsh, Mr. Walsh.
Happy Halloween.

- Hi.
- This is Lauren and Drew.

She's babysitting them.

l thought we discussed
doing that before you left the house.

l went before we left.

- Mrs. Walsh, would you mind?
- Oh, it's not a problem.

Come on, l'll take Drew.
You two can stay here and chat.

And, Lauren, let's just try again,
just in case.

- But l don't have to go.
- l know.

Those kids are hysterical.

They can be
a huge pain in the butt too.

Especially when there's two of them.

You tell him, Emily.

Come on, twins are the greatest.

l don't think so.

Kel, l'm gonna go get a drink refill.
You want anything?

No thanks, Steve, l'm mingling.

Kelly Taylor? Michael Cetta.

My mom knows your mom.

That's nice.

Jennifer Cetta.
Well, actually, it's Jennifer Sharp.

She changed her name
when they got divorced.

My folks, that is. Well, obviously.

Actually, she knows your mom

from when your mom was modelling
as the Farley Girl.

You look really, really good
in that dress.

You wanna go for a drive?
l have my dad's lnfiniti.

And a bottle of whisky.

l'll tell you what, Michael Sharp.

- Cetta.
- Right.

Why don't you take your bottle
and go get Daddy's lnfiniti started?

Drive up the side of the house, know
where the driveway turns around?

- Yeah, sure.
- Wait about ten minutes,

and then put the car in gear,
drive to Santa Monica Pier

and keep on going.

See if that baby floats, okay?

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,
that was truly excellent.

l was just coming over
to tell you Dylan said

that guy is the biggest sleaze bucket
of the Western world.

- l guess you already figured that out.
- Yes.

Well, he made that point
pretty clear himself.

l guess you do know
what you're doing.

Thanks for the credit.

So any luck?

Well, the two guys over there
dressed as devils,

one of them is kind of cute, but l think
he has his girlfriend with him.

The skin diver has lots of possibilities.
Nice butt, anyway.

But l'm thinking
there must be a reason

why he hasn't taken
his mask off yet.

Why take a chance,
you know what l mean?

The Three Stooges aren't bad either,
but they're acting way too goofy.

Did you see the guy dressed
as a feminine hygiene product?

l'm not gonna say which one,
just look over there.

Oh, my Lord.

Exactly how l felt.

Now, there's something
l could get used to.

Oh, the tall, handsome stranger.

Yes. Who rides into town
on a dark horse.

Any idea who he is?

No, but l will. You just watch, l will.

- All done.
- Did you wash up?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Okay. l'd say it's about time
we got out of your hair, huh?

So where are you going?

Trick-or-treating. We don't exactly
dress like this every day.

You don't?

So come with us?

You know, l'd love to,

but l think l should stay here
and hold down the fort.

Brandon, it's really okay.
l think we can handle it.

Well, l don't want to impose.

Are you sure?

What do you say, guys?
Want Brandon to come with us?

- Yes, yes! Take him with us, yes, yes!
- Yes. Yes.

Well, how can l say no to twins?

- Come on.
- Okay. Good nightie.

Good night.

Howdy, pardner.

Hey there, witchy woman.

Your horse outside?

Hitched him right up
next to your broomstick.

Thirsty after the dusty trail?

Or does the horse drink first?

Suppose you and l have a cup
of your witches' brew first

and then we'll water my horse.

Where do you go to school?

West Beverly. Where do you go?

- USC.
- Really?

l bet at SC, you're quite the cowboy.

l'll bet at West Beverly,
you're quite the little witch.

You better watch it, cowboy,

or l'll turn you back
into an obnoxious frat boy.

Feisty, l like that.

What, in a filly?

Say, how about l just throw you
over my saddle

and we ride off
into the sunset together?

l don't ride on a first date.

- Well, now, is this a date?
- Could be.

How soon can we have
the second date?

That depends
on how you play your cards.

l always play my cards right, darling.
l don't like to lose.

Feisty. l like that.

Where do all these kids come from?
What do they do, bus them in?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, they do.

Why?

Well, Halloween's
a big deal in Beverly Hills.

People here put on quite a show.
Kids figure they'll get better candy.

lt's a safe neighbourhood.

l don't know, l'm not used
to such a big production.

Yeah, l know what you mean.

You know what l miss?

What?

Well, back in Minnesota, at Halloween,
the streets are covered in leaves.

You know,
all the beautiful fall colours.

You just kind of have
to shuffle through them.

Up to your knees?

You know?

You gotta remember, Brandon,
l grew up in Cambridge.

What l remember

is the sound they made
when you walked through them.

Yeah, like a shuffle.

A crunch.

Or a shuffling crunch.

Or a crunchy shuffle.

Lauren, Drew, give me your hand,
it's time to cross the street.

Lauren, Drew.

Lauren, Drew,
hey, come on, guys, let's go.

Calling all ghosts.

Now, guys.

- Lauren?
- Drew?

Guys, right now.

Lauren. Drew.

Lauren.

Drew.

l have no idea which way they went.
They were behind us a minute ago--

- Don't worry.
- They were gone.

We'll call this in right now

and every car in the city
will be looking for them.

Meanwhile, you search this area

and check in with us
at regular intervals.

- Right, will do.
- Don't worry,

every Halloween we get
a couple of missing-kid reports.

We haven't lost one yet.

- What about that kid in Trousdale?
- Roger.

Look, don't worry. We'll call your house
as soon as we have anything.

Yeah, thanks, officer.

Hey, hey, hey,
you heard the man, don't panic.

What about that kid in Trousdale?

- Lauren.
- Drew.

Hi.

Donna, can l ask you something?

Why do you always
do stuff like this?

Like what?

Like wearing that
ridiculous dress to the spring dance,

or dressing like a trout.

You know l'm a mermaid.

And besides, l was just trying to win
for best costume.

What did you think,
Halloween was a swim event?

No, l just thought it'd be fun.

You know, every now and then,
it'd be okay if you were just yourself.

Yeah, who'd wanna see that?

l would, and most other guys here.

l promise you.

l can't believe
you're into David Letterman.

Why?

l don't know.
You just don't seem like the type.

Well, l like to stay up late.

Bet you do.

Did we meet in another life?

Yeah, we were ancient Egyptians.

Lauren. Drew.

Well, they are ghosts,
maybe they just turned invisible on us.

- Brandon.
- l'm just trying not to panic, all right?

- No.
- Hey, hey, hey, we'll find them, okay?

- l promise. Let's go.
- l know.

Lauren!

lt looks like the egg fight
is gonna start a little later.

l don't know, Scott.

Can't you hang a little longer?

Well, yeah,
l can hang if you can hang.

Yeah, l can hang.

Mom! Mom.

- Mom, did the cops call?
- lt's the twins. We had them--

- They're right here.
- They're what?

- Well, look.
- Take you back to my castle.

Never!

They said you told them
if they got separated from you,

they should go right back
to the last place they remember.

You got lost.

We were worried sick about you.

We'll never do it again.

l am so incredibly happy
to find you guys,

you wouldn't imagine.

- Were you scared?
- No.

Oh, l let them start on
their candy bars.

l hope that's okay.
They ate everything.

Well, except the raisins.

Mom, you got a little chocolate there.
Yeah.

All right, all right,
next year we'll have candy bars.

Scott?

Yeah?

What time is it?

Eleven o'clock.

You're thinking the same thing l am,
aren't you?

This egg fight
just ain't gonna happen, is it?

Nope.

You know what?

The good old days are over.

Kids don't have fun
the way we used to.

Times have changed.
And not for the better.

You wanna egg a car?

Sure, what the hell.
l mean, for old times' sake.

Scott, Scott, Scott, hold your fire,
hold your fire.

David, Scott, what's happening?

Yo, Brandon. How's it hanging?

What are you two doing
hanging around like slugs?

- Nothing.
- What a waste.

Where l come from,
we know how to have a good egg fight.

Let's not encourage them.

Beverly Hills kids. Rich wimps.

Yeah.

Donna, what's the matter?

Oh, God.

Dylan, excuse us for a minute.

Just keep on dancing.
lt's all right, honey.

Donna, didn't it occur to you

that you just might have to go
to the bathroom tonight?

l don't know, Bren, l just--

l guess l just really thought
the zipper would work.

Don't worry, Donna,
Brenda's here, l'll help you out of it.

God, Bren,
l really hate this costume.

Now l know why it was left over
at the costume store.

Let's go get something to eat.

Let's keep dancing.

The music stopped.

l didn't notice.

Come on.

Okay, l'll have a chicken wing.

No, have these quesadillas.
They're much better.

- l'd really rather have a chicken wing.
- The quesadillas are better.

Trust me.

Well, okay,
l guess l'd better listen, then.

You know,
these are actually pretty good.

You're damn right they are.

- Oh, my.
- Hey, sorry.

l wish there was someplace
we could go that wasn't so crowded.

Well, l know just the place
where we can go.

Follow me, little lady.

Okay. Here we go.

Wow, this place is really cool.

l heard it used to belong to some
movie mogul way back when, but--

Hey, Bewitched,
l'm not a big one for architecture.

Tell me something
about your history.

- lt's really not all that interesting.
- lt is to me.

Well, okay.

l was born here in Los Angeles,
lived in Beverly Hills all my life.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No, not right now,
but for a while l was--

Are you looking for one?

You know,
l really don't wanna think about

anything heavy
or long-term like that tonight.

lt's Halloween, you know?

A night of dress-up
and make-believe, right?

ln fact, they're probably having
the contest party right now,

so we should...

You like to play make-believe?

Sure, everyone does.

Great.

Let's play make-believe.

l don't wanna be up here anymore.
l wanna go back to the party.

Well, l don't think you do.

How do you know what l want?

By your actions.

l mean, if you didn't wanna be up here,
why'd you come?

l wanted to be up here.
And now l don't, okay?

l thought we were
gonna play make-believe.

This isn't the kind of make-believe
l had in mind.

Well, l'm looking at what
you're wearing,

and l'm thinking this is exactly the kind
of make-believe you have in mind.

The answer is no, okay?

Okay, okay.

Oh, wait a minute.

l guess l'm...

l guess l'm being
way too eager here.

Yes, you are.

l'm sorry.

Really, l didn't mean
to lose my manners.

Well, you did.

Wow, l must have scared you.

l think l scared myself.

Good, you deserve it.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Look, can you forgive me?

Let's just forget about it, okay?

No, no, look, it'd mean a lot to me.

l respect you.

Okay, fine, you're forgiven.
Let's just go back to the party, okay?

Kiss and make up?

l don't think so.

l do.

Get off me.

Get off me! Stop it!

Cut the drama, prom queen.

l'm sure this is nothing
you haven't done before.

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

You know, l don't even care
about the stupid contest.

Kelly, we're so sorry. We'll leave.

Yeah, we're sorry.

l'm so glad you're here.

Kelly, what's wrong?

- She's kidding.
- lt's not kidding.

- We're playing make-believe.
- That's not true!

He threw me on the bed
and he wouldn't let me up.

- l tried to stop--
- Kelly, stop kidding,

- they're gonna believe you.
- He locked the door, Brenda.

You bastard.

Dylan, come in here, l need you!

You guys got this way,
way out of proportion.

l mean, this is so funny.

- What?
- He tried to attack Kelly.

Hey, we were both into it.

Then suddenly she started lying.
You guys know what l mean, right?

How dare you lay a hand on her?
l love that girl.

Hey, Steve, it's all right, man.

Let's just take Dale Evans here
and show him the trail.

Guys.

Guys, you got this all wrong.

l can live with that.

l mean...

When a girl dresses like a slut--

You really don't have a clue,
do you, pal?

l'm such an idiot.

l thought l was being all sewy,
dressing like this, you know.

Look where it got me.

Kelly, l tried to tell you
that the dress was a little too much.

lt wasn't the dress, though,
it was me.

And what l did.

Kelly, you said no.

He should have listened, period.

l should have listened to you.
You tried to warn me,

you tried to tell me
what l was walking into.

Kelly, you said no.

l said no too late.

Might as well have been saying yes,
you know?

l was trying to act all cool
and everything.

Talking sewy.

l was leading him on.

Well, then he should go
take a cold shower.

Or whatever they do.

Can l say something? l mean,

l know the last thing you need
right now is another guy

telling you what to do
or what to think.

Go ahead, please.

You're blaming yourself
for leading that guy on.

But l want you to know, as a guy,

it doesn't matter how much
of a magnet a girl turns on,

a guy always has a choice

of not making her do something
she doesn't wanna do.

l didn't make that choice
very easy, now, did l?

Yeah, you did.

You said no.

And after that,
what happened isn't your fault.

l guess you're right.

The weird part is
that before we came up here,

he seemed like such a nice guy,
you know?

Kelly, it doesn't matter if he's cute
or smart or Prince Charming.

He was a rapist.

Donna, l don't think--

What the hell else can you call it?

Kelly, what would have happened
if we hadn't come in here?

Here you go, sunny-side up.

Well, they're safe and sound.

Yeah, probably in their little jammies
and fast asleep already.

Brandon, thank you so much.

l don't know what l would've done
without you tonight.

Well, truth be known,

if l didn't exist, you probably wouldn't
have lost them in the first place.

True, but if you didn't exist
and l did lose them,

how would l ever have found them
at your house?

Well, l don't believe that.

lf l didn't exist,
there'd probably be someone else.

Maybe.

But not someone quite like you.

How can you know that?

How can we know anything?

Whoa, we're getting
a little philosophical here.

Hey, you're the one
questioning your very existence.

Well, to tell you the truth,
l never really gave it much thought

until l just happened
to run into you tonight.

Brandon, you didn't just happen
to run into me tonight.

At least, not by accident.

l knew where you lived,
l knew that you'd be home tonight.

l came by on purpose.

You are weird.

But l like that.

l'm a very peculiar person.

Well,
l'm a pretty peculiar person myself.

No.

You are frighteningly normal.

But l like that.

So you wanna go
to the Halloween party?

We don't have any costumes.

No problem.

We'll just say we're another couple,
going as Brandon and Emily.

Hey, just think how impressed
they'll be with our masks.

Well, l'm pretty impressed
with your mask already.

Steve, l'll never forget
what you did for me tonight.

Good, because l meant what l said.

l know you did.

Hey, where's the party?

lt's been a long time since l heard
my brother say, ''Where's the party?''

Well, it's been quite a long time
since l've had any reason to say it.

Yeah, well, you're just a little
out of shape. Stick around, champ.

Hey, we're gonna go to the Peach Pit
and unwind. Do you wanna join us?

Well, how long has it been
since we've been at the Peach Pit?

- Minutes.
- At least.

- Let's go.
- Sure, see you there.

Well, wait. You guys, can we drop
this mermaid thing off first?

No, let's keep the mermaid thing.
l like it.

Mermaids
are an endangered species.

Can we stop by the bank first?

Absolutely. Let's go.
