Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 2, Episode 23 - Cardio-Funk - full transcript

Brenda is tempted to cheat on Dylan when she attracts the attention of Tim, a college guy in her exercise class. Dylan is tempted by his old surfing friend Sarah, whom he meets at an AA meeting and whose problem is worsening, for ...

There's one more small box
in the back seat of the car, Brandon.

l'll get it.

- l got a good feeling about this, Nat.
- Oh, you think so?

Yeah, did you read the brochure
my client sent?

Yeah, it was pretty impressive.

This is the perfect place
for one of these.

You have a well-established clientele,
this'll bring in new traffic.

Believe me,
that cash register's gonna ring.

Oh, l hope you're right.

Make sure the whole crew is here
tomorrow night

when we crank this baby up,
because we are gonna rock 'n' roll.



Okay, move those arms.
Feel the beat.

Good. From the beginning.

Go on, laugh all you want.
They hired me for comic relief.

You're doing great.

- Better than my friend here.
- Oh, thank you.

- You must be a ringer.
- Actually, it's my first time.

Oh, God, now l'm really humiliated.

Okay, move our hips.

lsolate, isolate.

Who does he think l am, a Fly Girl?

- Tim, can we focus here?
- l'm focusing.

l'm focusing.

- He's cute.
- Kelly, we're not here to meet guys.

Suit yourself.



Hi, my name is Sarah.

And l'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Sarah.

l've been sober 50 days now.

Unfortunately, they've been spread out
over the last four years.

l wasn't that comfortable
with myself...

...so drinking helped me fit in.

- l know this girl.
- You sure?

- l think she's a first-timer.
- l was drunk at school a lot.

One time, l even tossed my cookies
in the principal's office.

l'm 1 8 now.

And about a year ago,
l thought l hit rock bottom.

l got really wasted one time
l went surfing

and nearly drowned.

Some kids fished me out and
took me to the hospital just in time.

My friends were the ones
who fished her out of the ocean.

Then l met this guy.

And we moved in together.

And we drank together.

About a couple weeks ago,
he beat me up pretty bad.

And that's how l got here.

l've been sober
for about a week now.

And l guess that's a start.

Up slowly.

Okay, good night, everybody.

- Hi, l'm Tim Matthews.
- Brenda Walsh.

Let me guess. Actress? Dancer.

Star Search spokesmodel?

- No, l go to West Beverly.
- No kidding. l went to Beverly.

l'm at UCLA now. Premed.

Well, it's nice meeting you.
This is my friend Kelly.

- Hello, friend Kelly.
- Hi.

So listen, just about the last thing
l wanna do right now

is go back to the dorm
and study organic chemistry.

So l was wondering, maybe you'd like
to go get a bite to eat or something.

Brenda.

Sorry, but Kelly's my ride.
l have to go.

Well, l could take you home.

l don't think so.

Okay. Well, maybe l can
call you sometime.

- Well...
- Come on.

- You do have a phone.
- Yes.

So?

So l also have a boyfriend.

Oh, gee, and l only have a two-seater.
He's gonna have to stay home.

Brenda.

We really have to go.

Well, l'll see you back here
Sunday night.

Sunday night?

Sure, see you then.

Brenda, l thought we were only
coming to this class on Fridays,

when Dylan's
at his AA meeting in Malibu.

Well, l was thinking
l might need a little bit more exercise.

- Oh, l see.
- What's the matter?

- l can't believe you.
- What?

- You were totally coming on to him.
- l was not. l was being sociable.

l don't think that Tim was able to make
that subtle distinction.

Look, Kelly, it's not like l gave him
my phone number or anything.

And besides, l told him
that l had a boyfriend.

Only because l was standing there.

Kelly, l'm here to exercise.

Nothing more.

- Sarah.
- l know you.

- Dylan.
- l know.

- How you doing?
- l'm okay. How you doing?

Well, better than the last time
you saw me.

Yeah, you were pretty wasted.

Yeah, l'm pretty good at that.

So you ever see that guy Brandon?

Yeah, yeah, all the time, you know,
at school and then some.

How's he doing?

Oh, he's good.
Never really got into surfing, though.

l mean, you can take the boy
out of Minnesota,

but you can't take
the Minnesota out of the boy.

He saved my life.

Him and his sister...

Brenda.

Yeah, Brenda.

They should have just let me drown.

lt's not their style.

- So are you still surfing?
- Oh, all the time.

Yeah, l was actually thinking about
getting back into it.

Maybe the salt water will help me
get this mush out of my brain.

The waves are up.

And l'm going out tomorrow morning,
if you wanna meet me.

- Yeah, yeah. Maybe l will.
- Be good for you.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

You don't see the bills, Brandon.

Since the remodelling
and this recession thing,

yeah, we got the lunch traffic,
all right,

but our night business
isn't what it used to be.

Who's that?

lf he's got a gun and a mask,
tell him we're closed.

Hey, man, what are you doing here?

l came to bring you greetings
from an old friend.

Really? Who's that?

You remember surf betty, Sarah?

How could l forget?
l jump-started her lungs.

Yeah, well, she remembers you too.

Well, that's because
l give great mouth-to-mouth.

So how's she doing?

l saw her at an AA meeting.

Of what l remember,
she could use it.

Hey, what, am l doing this alone
or what?

Don't ask.

- Dylan.
- Hi.

- lt's not too late, is it?
- No, of course not.

- How was your class?
- Oh, you know.

A lot of lonely, sweaty people
without a date on a Friday night.

- How was your meeting?
- Oh, it was fine.

- l got something to show you.
- What?

Ninety days sobriety, Bren.

Dylan, l had no idea.
l'm so proud of you.

l didn't even know about it.

Maybe you should come
to a meeting with me sometime.

l would love to.

How about Sunday?

- Sunday night?
- Yeah.

l don't know,
l might have something.

But l'll just cancel. lt's okay.

Thanks.

So do you wanna come in
for a while?

No, it's getting late
and l gotta get up early in the morning

because the waves are happening

and the shape will probably blow out
in a couple of days.

- Good night, Bren.
- Good night.

l'm glad you made it.

l didn't think you'd show.

lt feels great.
l haven't been here in so long.

Well, we'll go around the point there.
Prettiest swells that you've ever seen.

Thanks, Dylan.

Thanks for getting me out here.

This is what it used to be like

before l had to get drunk
to have a good time.

Man, l used to love to get high
and ride those waves.

Me too.

l started drinking at the beach.

lt's crazy, but it seemed
so natural at the time.

That's what other people don't get,
do they?

No, l guess they don't.

So are you still in school,
or did you graduate?

Neither, l dropped out.

My boyfriend and l--
Ex-boyfriend, that is.

--were sharing a dump
on Calvert Street up in Van Nuys.

And l got a job shampooing hair
in a hair salon.

- That's great.
- No, it isn't.

But l did sign up for beauty school.

And l'm gonna get my licence
to cut hair.

Yeah? You wanna cut my hair?

Now, that'd be a challenge.

Good morning, good morning.

Everyone looking forward to tonight?

Yeah, haven't lived
till you've karaoked, right?

l've talked to the guys at the office,
everyone's coming.

Oh, our friends too. Kelly, Steve,
Donna, David, even Andrea.

Well, it sounds like
the Pit's gonna be packed.

Great. My clients tell me
that the bigger the crowd, the better.

Get people to try karaoke once
and they're hooked.

You're not gonna stand up there
and sing, are you?

Yes, l am.

Don't worry, Mom.

You'll only be humiliated

in front of 1 50 of our closest friends.

Hello.

Yes, she's right here.
Who's calling, please?

Tim Matthews.

- Tell him l'm not home.
- Too late for that.

Tim, hi.

Sure, it's okay.

No, no, you did not make a fool
out of yourself last night.

Who's Tim Matthews?

l don't know.

Oh, l can't, l have other plans.

Well, l'm sorry to disappoint you.

Sounds like she likes him.

All right, well, thanks for calling.

You're very sweet. Bye.

What are you staring at?

- Nothing.
- Nothing at all.

Thanks again, Dylan,
for getting me out here. lt was fun.

Oh, anytime.

Listen,

l was wondering,

you feel like going to the movies
tonight or something?

l can't, l made plans already.

Oh, no sweat,
l'll find something to do.

lt's just not that easy
being by myself these days, you know?

Yeah.

You can always go to a meeting,
you know.

Two days in a row?

Hey, whatever gets you
through the night.

All right, everyone.

Please, l'd like to welcome you

to the debut of karaoke
at the Peach Pit.

All right.

And l would like to invite Jim Walsh
the honour of first at mike.

- Go get them, big guy.
- After all, it was his idea.

Thank you, Nat.

Welcome, everybody.

lt's great to see you all,
thanks for coming out.

For my first number,
l'm gonna do one of my old favourites.

His first number? How many
of these things is he gonna do?

Take it away, Nat.

There she was
Just a-walkin' down the street

Singin', ''Do wah diddy--''

- l do not know that man.
- Come on, Mrs. Walsh, he's great.

Snappin' her fingers
And shufflin' her feet, singin'--

So, what do you think?

He looked good

- She looked fine
- Looked fine

She looked so fine, l blew my mind

Walkin' next to me, singin'--

''Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do''

Holdin' my hand
Just as natural as can be, singin'--

''Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy--''
Hello.

- We walked on
- To my door

- We walked on to my door
- To my door

- Then we kissed a little more
- Then we kissed a little more

l can't believe even you got up there.

Yeah, l've never seen so many sober
people acting stupid in my whole life.

Listen, l'm hungry.
You want a sandwich or something?

- Boy, times sure have changed.
- What?

Used to be, we'd walk in here

and the first thing on your mind
was definitely not food.

Oh, well, that is definitely
not out of the question.

Come here.

Wait a minute, incoming.

Can't be that important, l just saw
everybody in the world that l know.

Hi, it's me, Sarah.

l hope it's not too late.

But l'm not doing so hot tonight.
ln fact, l need a drink pretty bad.

Call me, please. Bye.

Someone from the programme.

l figured.

lt's supposed to be confidential.
l'm sorry.

Why don't you drive me home?

That way, you can call her
and do what you have to do.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, it's okay.

- l'm so glad to see you.
- Hey, calm down.

Thanks for coming.
l didn't know who else to call.

- Not a pretty sight, is it?
- He won't leave.

lf he stays, l know l'm gonna take that
bottle out of his hand, drink it myself.

Hey, buddy, time to go home.

Come on.

Who the hell are you?

l'm a friend of Sarah's, and l think
she asked you to leave, right?

Oh, so this is him?

This is why you wanted
to break up so bad.

lt wasn't the booze.
You got another guy.

- That's not true.
- You little slut.

Hey.

l'm real scared of you, tough guy.

Doug, please.

Come on, man, why don't you just
take the bottle? Go somewhere else.

She's made it real clear,
she doesn't wanna see you anymore.

Oh, l get it.
You're the sobriety patrol.

l didn't know
you guys made house calls.

Or is it just for the blonds?

- Come on.
- Hey, l'm going, l'm going.

You can have her.

Oh, God.

- lt's all right.
- Please, please, don't leave.

- Please stay with me.
- All right.

He's gonna come back.

- No, he's not.
- l'm scared, he's gonna come back.

He's not gonna come back, all right?
Not as long as l'm here.

Forget about it, Bren.

Outreach calls
are a part of Dylan's programme.

l know, it was just weird
hearing her voice.

''Hi, Dylan. lt's me, Sarah.

l need you.''

lt's not just like it's any girl,
l know her.

How?

Remember that girl last year
who was surfing drunk?

Yeah, the blond.
l thought her name was Betty.

That's just what they call her,
because she's a surf betty.

Oh, a bimbo.

You know, Dylan didn't even tell me
it was her.

He told Brandon he ran into her.
Not me.

Bren, that doesn't
necessarily mean anything.

l called him
before l went to sleep last night.

- lt was real late.
- And?

He wasn't home, Kel.

And he wasn't there
first thing this morning either.

Brenda, l'm sure there's a simple
explanation. You should just ask him.

l just don't wanna push it, you know?

Besides, l wanna see
if he'll tell me himself.

Yeah, l guess.

l mean, it's not like you've told him
about Tim or anything.

- What does that mean?
- Brenda, you were flirting with him.

Kelly, he's just some guy
who said hello to me in exercise class.

There's nothing to tell.

Okay.

There she was
Just a-walkin' down the street

Singin',
''Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do''

Jim, please. Give it a rest.

Yeah, Jim.

You guys
just don't have an ear for talent.

Ladies, ladies, ladies,
what is all this?

Exercise class and jogging?
What are you getting in shape for?

That's a good question, Brenda.
What are we getting in shape for?

For ourselves.

Did Dylan happen to call
while we were out?

- No, but Tim called.
- He did?

He's calling you now?
Oh, and there's nothing to tell.

- Kelly.
- l'm sure you'll tell Dylan all about it,

won't you?

He left a number.

Just who is this
Tim character, anyway?

Just some guy
that l met in exercise class.

- A guy who makes you blush.
- Brandon.

Fear not, young sibling.

My lips are sealed.

What's that?

Breakfast in bed. Eggs, toast,

l couldn't find any coffee,
but l think this soda has caffeine in it.

That's great, thanks.

No, thank you.

l don't think l could have slept a wink
if l had to be here by myself.

You look cute in the morning.

Thanks.

Dylan...

- This isn't a good idea.
- But why not?

Look, you know about
the 1 2 steps, right?

Sure, ''AA's 1 2 steps
are a group of principles,

which, if practised as a way of life,
can expel the obsession to drink.''

- Yadda, yadda--
- But there's a 1 3th step,

and that's when people in the
programme start fooling around.

What's wrong with that?

At least you know
you're fooling around

with someone who doesn't drink.

No, no-- Look, l know that
it's hard for you right now.

l know that,

but you just can't go getting involved
with every guy that's nice to you.

l'm not talking about every guy.

l'm talking about you.
l need you, Dylan.

You're in the programme,
you can help me stay sober.

You don't even know me.

You surf and you're sober.
What else do l need to know?

God, l want a drink so bad.

Just forget about
one day at a time, okay?

Try one hour.
Call a sponsor, go to a meeting.

Or take a walk, anything.

Why can't l just have you?

l have a girlfriend.

l should have told you sooner.

l'm sorry.

Dylan, l can't do this by myself.

l'm scared.

l'm so scared.

l'm scared l'm--

l'm just gonna--
l'm gonna slide away.

l'm not gonna let that happen.

l promise.

Go to the meeting tonight, okay?
l'll be there.

Friend Kelly, right?

Hi, Tim. Brenda's not here.

l know. She told me
she wasn't gonna be here.

She said she had other plans.

With her boyfriend.

So? They're not engaged, are they?

- No.
- Well, then, fair game.

- You don't give up, do you?
- l'm relentless.

lt's part of my charm.

Next week, Dylan,
you're bringing the coffee.

And, Phil, you're leading. Great.

All right, see you all then.

And, remember, what do we say?

Keep coming back.
lt works if you work it.

Great, thanks.

- So, what do you think?
- Well, it's different than l expected.

l mean, l thought it would be
depressing or boring or something.

But it wasn't.

lt was kind of intense
and fun at the same time.

Yeah, well, nobody would come
if it was a total drag.

People get really personal, though.
l mean, they talk about everything.

Sex, money.

l thought
they would just talk about drinking.

People need to share their secrets.
lt's a big relief.

You get it off your chest, you know,
it makes it less painful,

and, well, if you're in less pain,
you might not drink.

You didn't have much to say tonight.

Don't you have any secrets?

So l finally get to meet
the much-exalted Brenda Walsh.

- Yup, finally got her to come.
- You mean you finally asked.

l'm Ben.

- My sponsor.
- l know who Ben is.

Dylan's told me a lot about you.

Not as much
as he's told me about you.

l was afraid of that.

Oh, don't worry.
Your secrets are safe with me.

And a roomful of alcoholics.

- Ben, have you seen Sarah?
- No.

- l'm worried about her, man.
- Listen,

you work your programme
and let Sarah work hers.

Your cheatin' heart

Will make you weep

You'll cry and cry

- This is, like, too hip, huh?
- Come on, she's got real talent.

Yeah, yeah.

Someone put her
out of her misery, please.

She's making me nostalgic
for Mr. Walsh.

- Hello, hello.
- Hey, Nat.

So, what did l tell you?
ls this great or what?

l got to admit it.

They are here and they are buying.

- Thank you, pal.
- My pleasure.

l don't know how
to tell you this, honey,

but l feel a song coming on.

Oh, no, honey, not again.

Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

Be-bop-a-lula

Hang in there, Mom.
Only three more hours till closing.

Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

Be-bop-a-lula, l don't mean maybe

Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

- This is Tim.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

- Hi.
- Good to meet you.

Hey, Kel, what'll it be?

This is Brandon, Brenda's brother.
This is Tim Matthews.

Oh, hi, Brandon.

- You got a real cute sister.
- Thanks.

- You must be exercise-class Tim.
- l guess l am.

But don't let this incredible physique
fool you, l'm really lousy at it.

Now l know why
you're suddenly so into aerobics.

Not even.
He doesn't even know l exist.

- Yeah, so why is he here?
- He's looking for Brenda.

Brenda? What about Dylan?

l don't know.

l tried to tell him,
but it's just not sinking in.

All right.

Well, don't look now.
Things are about to get interesting.

Yeah

Hoo, boy

Who knew
accountants could be so groovy?

Hey, guys.

Bren, a friend of yours
just showed up.

Who?

Do the laptop, where?

Great.

Brenda.

Who's that?

Just some guy l met
in exercise class.

Excuse me, will you, a minute?

Sure.

Hi. Kelly told me you might be here.

Oh, she did? l'll be sure to thank her.

Tim Matthews, this is Dylan McKay.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

So you guys met at, what,
an aerobics class?

Cardio Funk, actually.

- Really gets the heart rate going.
- Yeah.

Take my pulse, please.

- He's premed.
- Yeah. l gotta make a phone call.

- Now?
- Yeah,

l wanna try Sarah
and see if she's come in yet.

Okay.

l'll be right back.

Hi, honey.

Hi. Tim, this is my mother.

Oh, hi.

Nice to meet you.

And that up there is my father.

Wow, the whole family's
here tonight, huh?

Yes, and unfortunately your father
just can't say no to karaoke.

Well, l know
how to take care of that.

Come on, Brenda.
Let's show them how it's done.

- Wild thing
- Wild thing

You make my heart sing

See?

- You make everything.
- You make everything

Groovy

- Wild thing
- Wild thing

l love this part.

- Wild thing, l think l love you
- Wild thing, l think l love you

But l wanna know for sure

- Come on and hold me tight
- Oh, baby

l love you

l'm sorry, he dragged me up there.

Forget about it. Listen,
l just tried to get ahold of Sarah.

She was really
on the edge last night, Bren.

l'm worried about her.

l think l should go
and see what's going on.

lsn't there anyone else
who can help her?

She's counting on me, Bren.
l can't let her down.

Fine, go.

l'd rather be here with you.

Look, just do what you have to do.

- Bren--
- Dylan, just go, all right? l understand.

Where do you think he's going?

l don't know,
but it must be pretty important,

he's just leaving her there.

Listen, if you need a ride,
l can take you home.

Who the hell is that?

Open the door.

Hi, Dylan.

Who the hell is that?

That's my friend Dylan.

So, Dylan, feel like a beer?

We're just having
a couple ourselves.

Yeah, l can see that.
l can't believe you gave her a drink.

l didn't give her nothing.
She was drunk when l got here.

ls that true? ls it?

Hey, if it's anybody's fault l'm drunk,
it's yours.

l told you l couldn't do it alone,
but you turned your back on me.

What was l supposed to do?

l told you what to do.
You didn't listen to me.

No, you didn't listen to me.

l think you better go now.

Yeah, Mr. Clean, time to go home.

Come with me, Sarah. l'll help you.

She's not going anywhere.

l think that's up to her, isn't it?

l don't think so.

No!

Come on.

Get out.

Get out!

l don't know how Sinatra does it.

Seventy-five
and he still gets up there.

They're still outside, Jim.

So what? He's a nice guy.

Well, what do you think it means?

Honey, they're just talking.

l know,

but what about Dylan?

They're just talking.

Thanks for taking me home.

l'd take you home
any night of the week.

- Tim.
- What?

l know. You have a boyfriend.

l tell you what.

lf you want,

l'll get in my car, l'll drive away
and l'll never look back.

Just say the word.

Well?

l don't want you to do that.

l shouldn't be doing this.

Yes, you should.

Look, l'm sorry, l can't.

l don't mean to lead you on.

You're not.

Well...

Good night, then.

Do me a favour and think about it,
will you, Brenda?

l will.

- Promise?
- l promise.

l like you, Brenda Walsh.

Hey, you coming to school?

No.

Okay. See you.

- Brandon, wait.
- What?

l don't know,
l'm depressed or confused...

l just don't feel like getting up
out of bed.

What's wrong, Bren?

- l kissed him.
- Tim?

He drove me home
and we were outside talking

and it happened.

Well, it was just a kiss, Brenda.

No, it wasn't.
lt was an awesome kiss.

Still, it was just a kiss.

Then why do l feel so guilty?

You know, Bren,
l think we're supposed to kiss

a few different people
before we settle down

with one person
for the rest of our lives.

l know.

l was just so sure that Dylan
and l were meant for each other.

Maybe you are
and maybe you aren't.

lt's just, why did l do it?

What's wrong with me?
l liked it. l liked him.

Bren,

l think that's called
being a human being.

To all the girls l've loved before

Who travelled in and out my door

l'm glad they came along

So who's gonna tell him?

Steve, you tell him.
He'll listen to you.

Oh, somebody's got to,
this is getting painful.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
what will it be?

We gotta talk.

- Sounds serious.
- lt is.

- What's up?
- Would you listen to that?

l owe a lot, l know

lt's pretty rank.

l can't take it anymore.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
l thought everybody liked karaoke.

Oh, yeah, we do. Once is fine,

but all day long?

lt's kind of like it's not ours anymore,
you know?

l know.

You gotta tell Nat,
it's either karaoke or it's us.

The winds of change
Continue blowing

l'll talk to him.

And they just carry me away

- Nat, we got a little problem.
- What is it?

lt's the karaoke.
l mean, it's fun and everything,

but the Pit just isn't the same.

The people aren't the same.

You're telling me?

l'm glad they came along

My friends are saying they're gonna
boycott unless we do something.

Well, they're right, Brandon.
Karaoke's great,

but the Peach Pit, it's a juke joint.

Always was, always will be.

What about the money?

You kids are the lifeblood
of this place.

l know what side
my bread's buttered.

- Well, l'm glad to hear you say that.
- But you have to do me a favour.

Anything, as long as you can
get Julio to shut up.

Break the news to your dad.

Of all the girls l've loved before

Good, and raise it up.

And down.

All right.

So, what are you guys
doing tonight?

Kelly, can you give me a minute?
l need to talk to Tim.

Okay, lay it on me.

l'm sorry,

but l don't think that we should
be seeing each other.

Why not?

Brenda, you're in high school,

you should be going out
with lots of guys.

l don't want to.

l wanna go out with Dylan.

But the guy just left you
standing there last night.

That's not true.
Dylan wouldn't do that to me.

Someone was in trouble
and they were counting on him.

Dylan's not the type of guy
who would turn his back on someone

he made a promise to.

l'm sorry.

l jumped to conclusions.

lt's okay.

l guess l just really wanted to believe
that Dylan was no good for you.

l just hope he appreciates
what he's got.

Thanks.

Kelly, can you give me a second?
l forgot something in my locker.

- Bye.
- Bye.

She dumped me.

Sorry, l tried to warn you.

What does she see
in that guy, anyway?

l mean, he's not that hot.

Trust me,
they're meant for each other.

So do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Hi, l'm Tim Matthews.

Kelly Taylor. Nice to meet you.

l know the last few days
have been hard on you, Bren.

But that girl Sarah, she needed me.

Dylan, l know who she is.
Brandon told me.

So you understand?

Kind of.

Although l'm not quite sure
why you didn't tell me who she was.

l mean, why did l have to hear it
from Brandon?

l don't know.

Maybe you should think about that.

Well, what about you
and that Cardio Funk guy?

- Dylan--
- No,

maybe you should think
about that, Bren.

At least l was trying
to help someone.

Look, AA is a big part of your life,

but you heard what Ben said.

There is such a thing
as getting too involved.

Yeah, well...

Didn't really look like Sarah
wanted my help.

Not the last time l saw her.

She was curled up
with her boyfriend and a bottle.

l'm sorry.

lt's strange. You know?
l mean, l know the drill.

You can't save someone
who doesn't wanna be saved.

Hell, Bren,
for a long time, l was that person.

But when they're right there
in front of you, drowning--

lt can break your heart.

l know.

Listen, l'm sorry l disappeared
on you last night.

lt's okay, l did a little drifting myself.

Do l need to worry about this guy?

No, not anymore.

Dylan,

l kissed him.

l'm sorry. l feel terrible.

l mean, maybe l'm telling you
so l'll feel better,

l don't know.

lt happens.

Did it happen to you?

Yeah.

What's happening to us?

l don't know.

l wonder what it's like
when you're married 20 years

and somebody else
catches your eye.

l guess, if you're in love,
you're flattered

and you look the other way.

l don't want something like this
to break us up, Bren.

Neither do l.

We're gonna be okay.

Yeah, we are.

Wild thing, l think you move me

But l wanna know for sure

Dad's been driven
underground, huh?

Looks like it.

Well, l tried to be gentle.

l hope he didn't take the news
too hard.

Brandon, your father's a survivor.

You make everything groovy

l guess he'll go down singing.

Wild thing

l think l love you
