Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 2, Episode 26 - Things to Do on a Rainy Day - full transcript
David leads Brenda, Kelly and Donna to the Bel Age Hotel on a mission to meet the pop group 'Color Me Badd' when they come to town. But only Kelly gets to meet the band, while David and Brenda get stuck in the hotel stairwell, and Donna sees her mother, Felice, at the hotel with a man other than her father. Meanwhile, Brandon, Dylan and Steve, left alone at the Walsh House, hire an exotic dancer to ease their boredom. But they end up seeing very little of her when Andrea shows up for a surprise visit and won't leave.
Dream on, dream away
l think l'm gonna have to stay
Stay forever
- l adore mi amor
- l adore, yeah
- l adore mi amor
- l adore, yeah
This is the greatest video
in the history of videos.
Yeah, just great.
Kelly, which one's your favourite?
- l don't know which is which.
- Oh, well, that one's Bryan.
l like him the best.
Oh, no, maybe Mark. He's cuter.
No, no, Bryan.
l think Ringo's the cutest.
God, l was into Color Me Badd
before anyone even heard of them.
Yeah, you and 1 0,000 other people.
Are you getting their concert
on pay-per-view tomorrow?
Oh, even better. Let's go down
to Whisky and sit in the audience.
Donna, those things
are by invitation only.
But they're giving away
free passes on the radio.
Donna, that is definitely a long shot.
Come on.
You got skydiving lessons on the radio.
- Don't remind me.
- So somebody must know someone.
Look, it's no biggie.
Since you like them so much,
l'll call down to the club
and ask them to comp us.
- You could get us in free?
- Yeah, right.
l'm a DJ.
They rub my back, l rub theirs.
David, please, l'm trying to eat.
- We're looking for caller number 2 7.
- You dial now and then hang up.
Then when you hear the signal,
you press redial,
and you're already ahead
of the game.
Bren, you are a genius.
Kelly, come on, get the phone ready.
You guys, the concert
will be on TV tonight.
Why don't we watch it at home?
This is such a big waste.
Of what? Your precious time?
Donna, l'm going to another one
of those
marathon planning meetings
for the hospital charity.
Okay.
For all l know it could go well
into the night, so--
Right, that's fine.
l'm sleeping at Brenda's.
Well, if your father calls
from the Houston conference,
would you tell him--?
l know, that you'll be late.
- Redial.
- Donna.
- What do l do?
- Redial.
- l'm not getting through.
- Donna, l'm speaking to you.
Mom, l'm sorry,
but we're trying to win passes tonight
for the concert at the Whisky.
l don't want you hanging around
the Sunset Strip on a Saturday night.
- Don't you think that's a little seedy?
- l don't know.
Well, of course it is.
l've gotta go. Bye, girls.
- Hello.
- You've just won--
Forget about it, Kelly.
They just gave away
the last set of passes. Sorry.
Thanks a lot, Mom.
Ryan will just be lost without you.
Bryan.
l know his name, Donna.
Do this long enough,
we'll qualify as legally dead.
Come on, Dylan.
Can't you find something for us to do?
Here, ad for liposuction. Any takers?
Keep reading.
Well, guys, we're off.
Oh, where are you going
on this fine sunny day?
We're going to the museum
for a lecture on Shaker furniture,
followed by a authentic Shaker lunch.
Followed by an afternoon
of Shaker music. Wanna come?
- Come on, Jim.
- Have fun, Dad.
What do you suppose
the babes are doing, anyway?
Oh, whatever babe-like things babes
do on a rainy day.
- Probably talking about us.
- Dream on.
Let's do something
we can't do when they're around.
What? Burp, swear, spit?
No, no, let's take an adventure.
Let's go on a road trip.
Come on,
three guys on the open road.
Fast food, good tunes.
- Vegas?
- Vegas.
ln the pouring rain?
No, thanks. lt floods there--
Okay, all, right. Look, right here,
an ad for massage services.
ls this legit?
Easy, tiger. l don't think
that's what we're looking for.
Wait a second.
l saw an ad for strippers too.
Steve, what's the big deal?
lt's a naked lady.
Have you never seen one?
Hey, seeing a genuine exotic dancer
is a milestone for a young man, okay?
Thank you, Dr. Expert.
l happen to have gone to two of my
cousin's bachelor parties this year.
And they were all world, l might add.
l guess that makes you
a veritable Rob Lowe, doesn't it?
Let's just see.
No, no, here we go. ''Brandy.''
Brandy.
Brandy, sounds like an lrish setter.
Let's hope she's not.
Hello, Brandy?
Yeah. My name is Steve Sanders.
l'm here with a few friends of mine
and l was wondering if...
So the new guy, Tommy Yasko.
- He's a Larry.
- Yeah, a little dork.
Yeah, but Lauren is really cute.
- Total babe.
- Do you think Andy's cute?
- He's okay.
- Kind of.
Hey, guys, what's the haps?
- How did you get in here?
- The housekeeper let me in.
Donna, you're gonna have
to talk to her.
l'm about to give you
the gift of a lifetime.
Color Me Badd is staying
at the Bel Age Hotel.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Their manager is a patient of my dad's.
He told me where they're staying.
So what? We're supposed to go
and hang out with them?
- Exactly.
- Sounds like a plan to me.
l don't believe you.
Kelly, what else do you have
to do today?
Help your mother pick out
a wedding dress?
Okay, l'll go.
But l'm gonna go home
and change first.
What do you care?
You don't even like the band.
Well, at least l don't have to clear it
with my mom
before l can go to a hotel
on the Strip.
My mother doesn't run my life.
And we have to do this.
Besides, David's got an in.
What are all these people
doing here?
l guess they also have an in.
Well, l guess that blows that.
No, Donna. Look.
Whoa, where are you going?
ln there.
The hotel is for registered guests only.
Yes, we know that.
And in which room
are you registered?
Would you excuse us
for a minute, please?
Sure.
- Let's just forget about this.
- Why?
This is humiliating.
Who really cares?
David, l don't think
this is gonna work.
Wait a second, wait a second.
Did l not know where they were?
Yes, you and the population
of the Sherman Oaks Galleria.
David, thanks for trying.
l know you're doing this for me,
but it's not gonna work.
Oh, yeah?
Wait right here.
Sanders, what are you doing?
Just clearing a little space here
so Brandy can work.
Do you mind?
She's gonna be here any minute.
You know, you are some
piece of work, you know that?
Yeah, yeah, so why are you here?
Well, l figure if you guys feel we really
we need to see this,
then l should be here for you.
But you won't enjoy it at all.
Hey, l am a human male.
Really?
Brenda will be excited about that.
- What's the problem?
- l don't know, you know...
This is my parents' house.
She's supposed to do her thing
right here, where my mom aerobicizes.
She's here. She's here.
What do l do?
Answer the door.
What do l say?
l hear ''hello'' is really popular.
- Hello.
- Brandon, hi.
Andrea, what are you doing here?
- Zuckerman moonlighting?
- No.
l got this whole grab bag of ideas
for the paper.
l knew today would be
a perfect day to brainstorm,
since it's storming outside, get it?
Hey, guys.
Now, there is a fashion don't.
And that guard over there is
giving us the world's hairiest eyeball.
Really, you guys, let's just go.
You know, David is probably in there
getting arrested right now.
Do you think so?
One for you, one for you
and one for you.
We're in.
lt's so easy. You just look them
straight in the eye
and you tell them you want
a suite with a view.
And ask if there's
any special rates that apply.
- Don't you have to be 21 ?
- lf your plastic is good, you're in.
Oh, my God.
- Mom.
- Donna, what are you doing here?
- David has a room here.
- What?
l mean, David and his father
have a room here.
See, their house is being
fumigated,
so they checked into the hotel
for the night.
And that's why
they have a room here.
Just me and my dad.
Aren't you supposed to be
at some charity thing or something?
l am. lt's here.
We just broke for lunch.
- Well, we're just picking up David.
- And here he is.
But l forgot something,
so l've gotta go get it.
The thing.
Right, and then we're leaving.
- Okay. l'll see you tomorrow.
- Right.
- Bye.
- Bye-bye.
Bye.
Hi, this is Brandy.
l'm not home right now, but--
Damn it. She's on her way.
Have you ever been
to the Tar Pits Museum, Andrea?
lt's really a great place.
A lot of people spend their whole lives
in L.A. and never go.
lt's very interesting.
Good thing to do
on a rainy day.
Kind of thing you can really enjoy
on your own.
l know. l've been, many times.
But have you been there recently?
Where are you going?
To the kitchen, for water.
- ls that okay?
- Yeah, sure.
l was just kidding around.
Can't she tell that we're busy here?
Steve, tell her that she has to leave
because any minute now,
you're expecting a strange woman to
come in here and get naked to music.
- She'll understand.
- Probably write a four-part series.
Guys, this is serious.
- Hi, l'm Brandy.
- Hi, l'm Andrea.
So are you ready to rock 'n' roll?
Andrea, this is Brandy.
Brandy, this is Andrea.
- We know.
- We know.
- Brandy is-- Brandy is...
- Cindy's niece.
Yes, yes. Very, very distant niece.
l'm glad to meet you.
So are you from Minneapolis?
Well...
Sure. Originally.
Yeah.
- Can l take your coat?
- No.
Yeah, sure, it's fine.
- So what brings you here?
- Well, let's go in the living room.
Brandy came to help me
with my genealogy report.
See, she came over here
to tell me about...
Kelly, what are you doing?
Well, what do you think? ls it me?
Don't take that. They charge you
for everything here.
Twenty-five dollars for egg rolls?
They must be
absolutely amazing egg rolls.
Come on, guys. Let's focus here.
Now, this is base camp.
lf any of us get separated,
we meet back up here.
l don't think this is such a good idea
anymore.
Your mom's meeting
is not in this room.
But if she finds out l lied to her,
she'll kill me.
You always say that.
Why don't you just let her
kill you and get it over with?
Hi, Bryan Abrams, please.
He's in Color Me Badd.
l'm sorry,
l have no listing for that name.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, l am.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
There's nobody registered
under that name.
Come on, Brenda.
We have to be smart about this.
They always register under aliases.
We know the manager
is staying here
and he'll be on the same floor
as the band.
- And he won't be under a fake name.
- Exactly.
Front desk.
Yes, could you please tell me
what room Freddie Kramer is in?
l can't give you the room number
but l'll connect you.
Okay.
They can't give me the room number
but she's gonna ring me through.
- What are you gonna say?
- Yeah, what do you want?
Freddie? Hi, listen--
Like this?
Look, l just said my dad
does his gum work, okay?
Now, we're gonna have
to do some detective work.
Probably in the lobby.
My mother might be there.
So what?
You'll think of some excuse.
- We'll be your lookouts, right, Kel?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go.
Penthouse level, here we come.
What are we gonna say?
l'm gonna ask them
what their favourite colour is.
Their favourite colour is Badd,
of course.
Guys, you don't ask them that.
You tell them something smart
about their music
and then they respect you.
Why aren't we moving?
lt's locked.
Oh, come on, guys.
Don't give up so easily.
We've just begun the fight.
We still have a plan B.
What's plan B?
Plan B is to think of a plan B.
This is sort of fun.
lt's locked. Let's try the backstairs.
Kelly, don't even think about it.
- Kelly, you can't.
- Watch me.
- What about David and Brenda?
- They'll be fine.
Kelly, we could get arrested.
l'm getting out.
Donna.
- You don't even like Color Me Badd.
- Well, l do now.
Donna? Kelly?
- David.
- They'll catch up.
Locked.
David Silver,
this is a wild goose chase.
We're locked in here
and we lost Donna and Kelly.
They're right in here.
We're just back in the basement.
Trust me.
And the door's unlocked.
- David--
- The door.
l am ready for dessert,
how about you?
Yes.
Hi, Dr. John Martin, please.
He's at the medical conference.
Can you have him call Donna,
his daughter?
My number? 31 0-KL5-5600.
Room 61 2.
Can you tell him it's very important?
Thank you.
l think she likes me.
Yeah, l can see why.
You're one big ball of charm.
- We've gotta get Andrea out of there.
- Yeah, before they bond for life.
So, what are you studying at UCLA?
Well, l'm going for my Masters
in social work
but it's taking me a while.
l can only go part-time because l have
a 5-year-old to raise and support.
How in the world do you
make ends meet?
You'd be surprised.
l do a lot of office temp work
and actually, l work a lot of parties.
You know, party-planning,
event-coordinating. That sort of thing.
- Sounds like fun.
- lt's a living.
So whose are you?
No one's. Whose are you?
Nobody's, yet.
Which one are you interested in?
Doesn't matter.
Any of them. All of them.
l don't get it.
What do you want from them?
You know, to party.
How do you know
they wanna party with you?
Most of the bands do.
What the hell, it's worth a try, right?
Different strokes.
And what are you doing here?
You don't exactly look like their
accountant or nothing to me.
No, l'm not a groupie or anything.
See, me and my friends thought
it would be fun
to see if we could get in here
and meet the band.
Then what?
That's all.
Different strokes.
Cool it, girlfriend. There's a cop.
Damn. This crazy machine
won't take my money.
- Here, try a crisp one.
- Oh, yeah.
You're welcome. Hello.
l'm sorry. l guess
you're not the money lady, huh?
No, l don't think so. l'm Kelly Taylor.
lt's nice to meet you, Kelly.
l'm Bryan Abrams. Thanks a lot.
Oh, my God.
- ls everything okay?
- Yeah, everything's fine.
You know, we have people
to do things for you.
Where is my runner?
You know, l'm gonna can his butt.
lt's all right, you know, l like to get
my own soda once in a while.
- lt's all right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- All right, thanks.
Hey, l was thinking
you might like a pass.
You can check out the show
later on.
No, l couldn't really.
Oh, come on.
Well, l have three friends.
Could l get four?
Okay, you talked me into it.
Come on.
l'll get you as many as you need.
You know what?
l've got three friends too.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
Really?
You know, David,
why can't you just admit
that you don't know everything there
is to know about hotels and bands?
Never said that l knew everything.
lf you're smart, why'd you
let the door close behind us?
l suppose l'm to blame
for getting us locked out in the rain.
- Oh, come on.
- Where's Kelly?
Last time l saw her,
she was in the elevator
on her way up to see the band.
For real?
We've got to catch up with that girl.
Wait a minute.
l mean, you're tired
and you're soaked
and you must
really wanna leave, right?
Donna, there's towels
and there's a hair dryer.
l mean, look at us.
lf we quit now, we're pretty pathetic.
lt just seems so impossible.
Come on, Donna,
you're dying to meet this band.
We already know they're here.
l'm gonna make this happen for you.
You can't give up so easily.
Yeah, thanks.
You know, seeing you here reminds
me of the time we met Bon Jovi.
Yeah, we know what it's like
to be fans.
Oh, l'm not really that big of a fan.
Well, thanks a lot.
No, no, no. l mean, l think you guys
are great, really. l mean it.
l'm not some, like, totally weird
groupie fan.
You know, the kind who...
l don't know.
The kind who sneaks
into hotels maybe?
Exactly.
So, what's it like to have fans?
Honestly? l love it, personally.
But l don't know, what do you think?
- lt's amazing.
- Scary.
Well, l mean, don't get me wrong,
because, you know, we definitely
love meeting our fans.
lt's just when a large crowd of people
come at you at one time,
you know,
it can be kind of confusing.
But we're not complaining
or anything.
l mean, that's what
we've always wanted, so...
Sometimes, it's just easier
to stay up here, you know?
Yeah, what he said.
So is it true what they say,
you can't even go to a mall
without getting mobbed?
Sad but true.
Well, don't worry.
l am personally sick of malls.
Really? l kind of miss it.
You know, maybe Kelly
got trapped somewhere too.
We should probably go look for her.
Come on, she probably just
got bored and did something else.
We dragged her into this
and she's right.
- Who really cares? l don't need to--
- l can't believe this.
Because you're afraid of running into
your mother at stupid charity meeting.
l know you guys are doing this all
for me, which is fine, thanks a lot.
lf this is for me, don't l get to say
when l don't wanna do it anymore?
God, you guys are driving me crazy.
Donna, we just thought
that you would--
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
No, it wasn't real important.
l just called to say hi.
So, hi.
Oh, well, David
and his father checked in,
so we came to hang by the pool
but it's raining.
Yeah, l'm sure.
l love you too, Dad. Bye.
Donna, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
My mother is having an affair.
Anyway, apart from having
my little boy,
the Peace Corps was the most
fantastic experience of my life.
And it's where l met my husband.
Your husband?
- George, the father of my son.
- George.
He's working on his first novel,
for three years.
So l'm supporting him too.
- The book's called The Zen of Surfing.
- Are you serious?
- lt sounds really flaky, doesn't it?
- No, surfing is Zen.
Pure meditation.
l'd love to read that book.
Well, l wish everyone could.
Maybe someday. Have faith.
Look, l gotta go.
l really liked meeting you.
l really enjoyed meeting you too,
Andrea.
l'd love to talk to you again.
Brandon, you have her number?
l know where to get it.
Great, l'll show myself out.
- See you, bye.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye, guys. Take care.
- Later, kid. Bye.
Now are we ready to rock 'n' roll?
Oh, hey, guys, you think a burger
comes with that shake?
Yeah. Definitely.
Destiny.
- ls something wrong?
- No, nothing.
l don't know. lt's like, you're kind
of our friend now, you know?
Don't worry. lt doesn't embarrass me
or anything.
Yeah, l know, but l just
kind of feel weird about it now.
Bad timing, huh?
Yeah, what do you say, Steve?
Let's pay up, call it a day.
All right. l guess you guys are right.
No offence, but l guess it would be
kind of bizarre to see you naked now.
Now that we know you so well.
But thanks.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hi, l'm Brandy.
- Nice to meet you.
- l'm Cindy's cousin.
Sorry, gotta run. See you.
Bye.
Yeah, it is getting late.
l'm gonna run too. Bye, bud.
l'm leaving. See you.
- Later.
- Cindy's cousin?
Different Cindy. Cindy Sanders.
Steve's cousin, Cindy Sanders.
Cindy Sanders.
- How was the Shaker thing?
- lt was really interesting.
But if Brandy
is Steve's cousin's cousin,
wouldn't she be Steve's cousin?
Well, you know, California families.
Divorce, remarriage, who knows?
My thoughts exactly.
Are you sure that
it's not just a misunderstanding?
l mean, the thought of your mom...
lt just doesn't compute.
Yeah, l mean, maybe it was
just a friendly kiss.
You might have seen it
out of context.
l know what l saw.
You can't jump to any conclusions
until you talk to your mom.
What's gonna happen now?
What's gonna happen
when my dad finds out?
My whole life is gonna change now.
But, Donna,
maybe your life won't change.
l mean, maybe your dad
already knows.
He and your mom could have
some sort of arrangement.
How can you say that?
Because it happens all the time.
Practically every kid at West Beverly
has the same story.
Well, l don't care about every kid
at West Beverly.
Donna, David was just trying
to make it easier.
l'm sorry.
Look, you guys, this just isn't working.
l have to get out of here.
- You can stay.
- No, we're going with you.
- Brenda Walsh?
- That's me.
There's a call for you over here.
Thanks.
- Hello?
- l am with the band
and they are the coolest guys.
And guess what.
l got us all passes
for tonight's show.
Way to go, Kelly.
l can't believe you actually did it.
l don't think we're gonna be able to go.
What do you mean?
We're in the front row.
Donna saw her mother
with another man.
Oh, my God. l'll be right down.
No, it's okay. We're just gonna
take her back to my house.
- Bren, l wanna be with her.
- Kelly, go to the concert.
Look, she'd kill you if you didn't go
and report back all the details.
Are you sure?
Yeah, l don't think she's ready
to talk about all this yet, anyway.
Look, l'll talk to you later. Bye.
We'll catch her later.
Do you wanna come
get the car with me?
Thanks. l'm all right.
We're out of here.
David, thank you.
Donna.
Mrs. Martin, we were just leaving.
lt's all right.
l'll meet you outside, okay?
l thought you were going home
hours ago.
How was your charity meeting?
l've been up to my ears
in committees and budgets.
l asked you a question.
What are you doing here?
No, Mother.
What are you doing here?
l saw you.
Yes, on my lunch break.
No, Room 622.
l saw you, Mom.
l don't know what you saw.
You were laughing
and then you were kissing.
lt was in the hallway.
l don't think this is the time
or the place.
Are you?
Are you having an affair?
- Are you?
- Donna.
l will not let you
speak to me this way.
Then just answer me.
Are you, Mom?
- Hey, hey, hey, that's my side.
- All is fair in love and puzzles.
Hi, girls.
Oh, Donna, your mother called
looking for you while you were gone.
l shouldn't even have told her
l was sleeping over here.
- Why? What's wrong?
- Can l tell her?
Why not? Everyone's gonna know
soon enough.
Donna had kind of a weird thing
happen to her today.
She saw-- l mean, that is--
My mother is having an affair.
Oh, my God.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
l can't believe l was so stupid.
l actually thought that l had a family.
Donna, you do have a family.
lt's just...
Oh, l don't know what to say.
l'm sorry.
Well, you don't have to figure
this all out right now.
When will l?
Aren't l entitled to know
how long this has been going on?
lf my parents are getting a divorce?
Who my mother's seeing?
Why can't everything
just be the way it was?
Look at you guys.
Your family never changes.
Excuse me.
Sure it changes.
Hi, is Donna here?
Yes, come right in.
l've been expecting her
for several hours.
She hasn't checked in.
Oh, there you are.
You know how l worry about you.
Excuse me.
- Donna, let's go home.
- Does Dad know?
- We'll discuss this when we get home.
- Fine, l'll ask him myself.
No, you won't.
Look, Donna.
Things happen in a marriage
that are hard to understand.
You want me to understand?
l understand you.
l understand what a hypocrite you are.
Donna--
Like when the whole condom issue
came up,
weren't you the one who went
on and on about abstinence?
God, you wouldn't even let me go
to a concert tonight.
Because it was what?
What did you say, too seedy?
Donna, do not raise your voice
at me.
Why? God forbid, someone
might think that l'm angry.
You care more about appearances,
Mom, than how anyone feels.
Well, l'm angry and l'm not gonna
hide it for appearance's sake.
All right, Donna. l am not gonna speak
to you until you calm down.
Fine, then don't.
Just go.
And l hope you and your boyfriend
have a wonderful life, Felice.
l just can't deal with her anymore.
- Cindy.
- lt's okay.
lt's one of those, you know,
mother-daughter tensions.
lt's that age.
Shall l tell her she can stay here
for a while,
just until things calm down?
You're very sweet.
lt's really-- lt's just one of those
mother-daughter things.
Tell me about it.
- You'll call if...?
- Yeah, l'll call.
Thank you.
Oh, Donna.
Look, l'm not gonna pretend
l know how you feel,
but there is something
l know so strongly.
And you're just gonna have to trust me
on this because l'm a mother.
What is it?
Your mother loves you.
- But--
- Wait a minute, just listen.
Whatever she may have done
in her own life
has nothing to do
with her love for you.
How can that be?
Until you become a mother,
you may not understand this.
But the most important thing
in your life
is the love between
you and your children.
Why can't she prove it
by keeping our family together?
Keeping a marriage
in perfect balance,
it's like walking a tightrope.
Anybody can slip.
You never slip.
Donna.
Come on over here.
l'm gonna tell you
something very private.
Back when we first moved
to Beverly Hills,
l ran into a man that had once been
very special to me.
We'd gone in different directions.
Anyway, seeing him again
with my whole life changing,
the old spark flared between us.
- You had an affair?
- Almost.
Ultimately, l was lucky,
l didn't follow through on it.
But who knows, really.
But one thing l know
absolutely for sure.
You don't stop loving your children.
Honey,
you don't wanna turn your back
on that kind of love.
You think you know
where your life is headed
and you get off an elevator
on the wrong floor
and bang everything's different.
So this is where the bull session is?
Tough news about Donna.
Yeah. l mean, it's so surreal.
l mean,
this morning she was Donna.
And now she's Donna,
but a completely different Donna.
Same Donna,
more complicated world.
And she could probably
use you two
right about now
to help keep it simple.
Us?
Dad, we already feel like weirdos
because you and Mom
are still together.
My God, we really are square,
aren't we?
We'll have to work on it.
Yeah, well, don't work too hard.
Oh, by the way,
Steve's cousin
left her business card.
- l'm a little late for work, Dad.
- Brandon,
in two years, remind me to tell you
about my bachelor party.
l didn't hear you come home.
l understand that you're angry
with me.
You have every right to be.
Don't you love Dad anymore, Mom?
Oh, of course, sweetheart.
l love your father very much.
- l love you too.
- Then how could you?
Donna, this is hard for me too.
What happened this afternoon...
lt's the worst nightmare
l could ever imagine.
l feel like all your faith in me
has been destroyed.
lt has.
And l feel like l've suddenly asked you
to grow up much too fast.
Mom, l am grown-up.
l've been grown-up.
Catching you with some guy
didn't suddenly make me an adult.
lt just hurt me.
lt hurt me so much.
l know.
l know it did.
And l'm so sorry for that,
you have no idea.
What's gonna happen to our family?
Well, first of all,
l'm gonna tell your father
about what happened this afternoon.
l would never ask you
to keep this a secret.
Good, because l couldn't.
But most importantly,
l want you to understand.
You must understand
that no matter what happens
between your father and me,
it has absolutely nothing to do
with our love for you.
You...
You are the most precious thing
in the world to both of us.
Can you trust me on this?
l guess.
Mom, please try and work things out,
please?
Okay.
This is probably pretty lousy timing
on my part,
but we came by to see
if you wanna go hang out tonight.
Brenda and l are going
to the Peach Pit to have some dessert.
Do you need to be rescued?
Thanks, David, but l think l just
feel like hanging out alone tonight.
Do you mind?
Oh, no, no, that's no problem.
l'll just-- l'll catch you
some other time, then.
Why don't you go with them?
l don't know.
- lt just doesn't seem right.
- Go on.
You're lucky to have
such great friends.
Go on, go out and be with them
tonight.
Thank you.
l love you.
l know.
Thanks for coming, David.
Well, we figured you could
probably use us.
Yeah, can l.
l never knew what it was like
to have problems.
Well, welcome to the real world.
Yeah, well, if this is the real world,
you can have it.
All right, iced tea for the sis.
- lsn't that my shirt?
- No.
All right.
Fries, extra crispy for the DJ boy.
And one mint chocolate marshmallow
jellybean extravaganza sundae.
- Are you sure, Donna?
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Hey, you.
- Hey, Kel.
- Kelly.
- Hi.
- Did you go? How was it?
Yes, l went. But how are you?
Fine, fine. Tell us about the show.
Did they sound good?
What did they sing?
Yeah, they were okay.
l don't know the names of the songs.
Anyway, l was thinking about you.
You didn't have to.
Well, l wanted to think of a way
to cheer you up.
Anyway, l met these guys
and they're really, really nice.
They wanted to know
where they could get
the best hamburgers after
the concert. So l invited them here.
They're waiting outside.
l'll just go get them.
She invited guys here
to cheer her up?
Oh, my God.
Donna? These are my friends.
- Kevin, Mark, Bryan and Sam.
- Hello.
- How you doing?
- Hi.
This is Brenda and Donna
and Brandon.
- What's up, guys?
- How you doing?
- Oh, and David Silver.
- Thank you. How you doing?
What's up there?
So all of you
go to Beverly Hills High?
West Beverly.
So where's these famous burgers
everybody's talking about?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
l can't believe they're here
and they're eating hamburgers.
Well, actually, l was going
to make them sing for their supper.
lt is standard operating procedure
around here, guys.
Well, rules are rules.
- Let's get going.
- Let's do it.
- Ready?
- Yeah, sure.
One, two, three.
Dream on, dream away
- l think l'm gonna have to stay
- Stay
Stay forever
You know l love you, yeah
- David?
- Yeah?
Weren't you saying something
about the real world?
- Girl, you're the one that l adore
- Mi amor
- l love you forever more, yeah
- l adore
- l know that l really love my baby
- l adore
- She can give me everything l need
- Mi amor
l think l'm gonna have to stay
Stay forever
- l adore mi amor
- l adore, yeah
- l adore mi amor
- l adore, yeah
This is the greatest video
in the history of videos.
Yeah, just great.
Kelly, which one's your favourite?
- l don't know which is which.
- Oh, well, that one's Bryan.
l like him the best.
Oh, no, maybe Mark. He's cuter.
No, no, Bryan.
l think Ringo's the cutest.
God, l was into Color Me Badd
before anyone even heard of them.
Yeah, you and 1 0,000 other people.
Are you getting their concert
on pay-per-view tomorrow?
Oh, even better. Let's go down
to Whisky and sit in the audience.
Donna, those things
are by invitation only.
But they're giving away
free passes on the radio.
Donna, that is definitely a long shot.
Come on.
You got skydiving lessons on the radio.
- Don't remind me.
- So somebody must know someone.
Look, it's no biggie.
Since you like them so much,
l'll call down to the club
and ask them to comp us.
- You could get us in free?
- Yeah, right.
l'm a DJ.
They rub my back, l rub theirs.
David, please, l'm trying to eat.
- We're looking for caller number 2 7.
- You dial now and then hang up.
Then when you hear the signal,
you press redial,
and you're already ahead
of the game.
Bren, you are a genius.
Kelly, come on, get the phone ready.
You guys, the concert
will be on TV tonight.
Why don't we watch it at home?
This is such a big waste.
Of what? Your precious time?
Donna, l'm going to another one
of those
marathon planning meetings
for the hospital charity.
Okay.
For all l know it could go well
into the night, so--
Right, that's fine.
l'm sleeping at Brenda's.
Well, if your father calls
from the Houston conference,
would you tell him--?
l know, that you'll be late.
- Redial.
- Donna.
- What do l do?
- Redial.
- l'm not getting through.
- Donna, l'm speaking to you.
Mom, l'm sorry,
but we're trying to win passes tonight
for the concert at the Whisky.
l don't want you hanging around
the Sunset Strip on a Saturday night.
- Don't you think that's a little seedy?
- l don't know.
Well, of course it is.
l've gotta go. Bye, girls.
- Hello.
- You've just won--
Forget about it, Kelly.
They just gave away
the last set of passes. Sorry.
Thanks a lot, Mom.
Ryan will just be lost without you.
Bryan.
l know his name, Donna.
Do this long enough,
we'll qualify as legally dead.
Come on, Dylan.
Can't you find something for us to do?
Here, ad for liposuction. Any takers?
Keep reading.
Well, guys, we're off.
Oh, where are you going
on this fine sunny day?
We're going to the museum
for a lecture on Shaker furniture,
followed by a authentic Shaker lunch.
Followed by an afternoon
of Shaker music. Wanna come?
- Come on, Jim.
- Have fun, Dad.
What do you suppose
the babes are doing, anyway?
Oh, whatever babe-like things babes
do on a rainy day.
- Probably talking about us.
- Dream on.
Let's do something
we can't do when they're around.
What? Burp, swear, spit?
No, no, let's take an adventure.
Let's go on a road trip.
Come on,
three guys on the open road.
Fast food, good tunes.
- Vegas?
- Vegas.
ln the pouring rain?
No, thanks. lt floods there--
Okay, all, right. Look, right here,
an ad for massage services.
ls this legit?
Easy, tiger. l don't think
that's what we're looking for.
Wait a second.
l saw an ad for strippers too.
Steve, what's the big deal?
lt's a naked lady.
Have you never seen one?
Hey, seeing a genuine exotic dancer
is a milestone for a young man, okay?
Thank you, Dr. Expert.
l happen to have gone to two of my
cousin's bachelor parties this year.
And they were all world, l might add.
l guess that makes you
a veritable Rob Lowe, doesn't it?
Let's just see.
No, no, here we go. ''Brandy.''
Brandy.
Brandy, sounds like an lrish setter.
Let's hope she's not.
Hello, Brandy?
Yeah. My name is Steve Sanders.
l'm here with a few friends of mine
and l was wondering if...
So the new guy, Tommy Yasko.
- He's a Larry.
- Yeah, a little dork.
Yeah, but Lauren is really cute.
- Total babe.
- Do you think Andy's cute?
- He's okay.
- Kind of.
Hey, guys, what's the haps?
- How did you get in here?
- The housekeeper let me in.
Donna, you're gonna have
to talk to her.
l'm about to give you
the gift of a lifetime.
Color Me Badd is staying
at the Bel Age Hotel.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Their manager is a patient of my dad's.
He told me where they're staying.
So what? We're supposed to go
and hang out with them?
- Exactly.
- Sounds like a plan to me.
l don't believe you.
Kelly, what else do you have
to do today?
Help your mother pick out
a wedding dress?
Okay, l'll go.
But l'm gonna go home
and change first.
What do you care?
You don't even like the band.
Well, at least l don't have to clear it
with my mom
before l can go to a hotel
on the Strip.
My mother doesn't run my life.
And we have to do this.
Besides, David's got an in.
What are all these people
doing here?
l guess they also have an in.
Well, l guess that blows that.
No, Donna. Look.
Whoa, where are you going?
ln there.
The hotel is for registered guests only.
Yes, we know that.
And in which room
are you registered?
Would you excuse us
for a minute, please?
Sure.
- Let's just forget about this.
- Why?
This is humiliating.
Who really cares?
David, l don't think
this is gonna work.
Wait a second, wait a second.
Did l not know where they were?
Yes, you and the population
of the Sherman Oaks Galleria.
David, thanks for trying.
l know you're doing this for me,
but it's not gonna work.
Oh, yeah?
Wait right here.
Sanders, what are you doing?
Just clearing a little space here
so Brandy can work.
Do you mind?
She's gonna be here any minute.
You know, you are some
piece of work, you know that?
Yeah, yeah, so why are you here?
Well, l figure if you guys feel we really
we need to see this,
then l should be here for you.
But you won't enjoy it at all.
Hey, l am a human male.
Really?
Brenda will be excited about that.
- What's the problem?
- l don't know, you know...
This is my parents' house.
She's supposed to do her thing
right here, where my mom aerobicizes.
She's here. She's here.
What do l do?
Answer the door.
What do l say?
l hear ''hello'' is really popular.
- Hello.
- Brandon, hi.
Andrea, what are you doing here?
- Zuckerman moonlighting?
- No.
l got this whole grab bag of ideas
for the paper.
l knew today would be
a perfect day to brainstorm,
since it's storming outside, get it?
Hey, guys.
Now, there is a fashion don't.
And that guard over there is
giving us the world's hairiest eyeball.
Really, you guys, let's just go.
You know, David is probably in there
getting arrested right now.
Do you think so?
One for you, one for you
and one for you.
We're in.
lt's so easy. You just look them
straight in the eye
and you tell them you want
a suite with a view.
And ask if there's
any special rates that apply.
- Don't you have to be 21 ?
- lf your plastic is good, you're in.
Oh, my God.
- Mom.
- Donna, what are you doing here?
- David has a room here.
- What?
l mean, David and his father
have a room here.
See, their house is being
fumigated,
so they checked into the hotel
for the night.
And that's why
they have a room here.
Just me and my dad.
Aren't you supposed to be
at some charity thing or something?
l am. lt's here.
We just broke for lunch.
- Well, we're just picking up David.
- And here he is.
But l forgot something,
so l've gotta go get it.
The thing.
Right, and then we're leaving.
- Okay. l'll see you tomorrow.
- Right.
- Bye.
- Bye-bye.
Bye.
Hi, this is Brandy.
l'm not home right now, but--
Damn it. She's on her way.
Have you ever been
to the Tar Pits Museum, Andrea?
lt's really a great place.
A lot of people spend their whole lives
in L.A. and never go.
lt's very interesting.
Good thing to do
on a rainy day.
Kind of thing you can really enjoy
on your own.
l know. l've been, many times.
But have you been there recently?
Where are you going?
To the kitchen, for water.
- ls that okay?
- Yeah, sure.
l was just kidding around.
Can't she tell that we're busy here?
Steve, tell her that she has to leave
because any minute now,
you're expecting a strange woman to
come in here and get naked to music.
- She'll understand.
- Probably write a four-part series.
Guys, this is serious.
- Hi, l'm Brandy.
- Hi, l'm Andrea.
So are you ready to rock 'n' roll?
Andrea, this is Brandy.
Brandy, this is Andrea.
- We know.
- We know.
- Brandy is-- Brandy is...
- Cindy's niece.
Yes, yes. Very, very distant niece.
l'm glad to meet you.
So are you from Minneapolis?
Well...
Sure. Originally.
Yeah.
- Can l take your coat?
- No.
Yeah, sure, it's fine.
- So what brings you here?
- Well, let's go in the living room.
Brandy came to help me
with my genealogy report.
See, she came over here
to tell me about...
Kelly, what are you doing?
Well, what do you think? ls it me?
Don't take that. They charge you
for everything here.
Twenty-five dollars for egg rolls?
They must be
absolutely amazing egg rolls.
Come on, guys. Let's focus here.
Now, this is base camp.
lf any of us get separated,
we meet back up here.
l don't think this is such a good idea
anymore.
Your mom's meeting
is not in this room.
But if she finds out l lied to her,
she'll kill me.
You always say that.
Why don't you just let her
kill you and get it over with?
Hi, Bryan Abrams, please.
He's in Color Me Badd.
l'm sorry,
l have no listing for that name.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, l am.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
There's nobody registered
under that name.
Come on, Brenda.
We have to be smart about this.
They always register under aliases.
We know the manager
is staying here
and he'll be on the same floor
as the band.
- And he won't be under a fake name.
- Exactly.
Front desk.
Yes, could you please tell me
what room Freddie Kramer is in?
l can't give you the room number
but l'll connect you.
Okay.
They can't give me the room number
but she's gonna ring me through.
- What are you gonna say?
- Yeah, what do you want?
Freddie? Hi, listen--
Like this?
Look, l just said my dad
does his gum work, okay?
Now, we're gonna have
to do some detective work.
Probably in the lobby.
My mother might be there.
So what?
You'll think of some excuse.
- We'll be your lookouts, right, Kel?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go.
Penthouse level, here we come.
What are we gonna say?
l'm gonna ask them
what their favourite colour is.
Their favourite colour is Badd,
of course.
Guys, you don't ask them that.
You tell them something smart
about their music
and then they respect you.
Why aren't we moving?
lt's locked.
Oh, come on, guys.
Don't give up so easily.
We've just begun the fight.
We still have a plan B.
What's plan B?
Plan B is to think of a plan B.
This is sort of fun.
lt's locked. Let's try the backstairs.
Kelly, don't even think about it.
- Kelly, you can't.
- Watch me.
- What about David and Brenda?
- They'll be fine.
Kelly, we could get arrested.
l'm getting out.
Donna.
- You don't even like Color Me Badd.
- Well, l do now.
Donna? Kelly?
- David.
- They'll catch up.
Locked.
David Silver,
this is a wild goose chase.
We're locked in here
and we lost Donna and Kelly.
They're right in here.
We're just back in the basement.
Trust me.
And the door's unlocked.
- David--
- The door.
l am ready for dessert,
how about you?
Yes.
Hi, Dr. John Martin, please.
He's at the medical conference.
Can you have him call Donna,
his daughter?
My number? 31 0-KL5-5600.
Room 61 2.
Can you tell him it's very important?
Thank you.
l think she likes me.
Yeah, l can see why.
You're one big ball of charm.
- We've gotta get Andrea out of there.
- Yeah, before they bond for life.
So, what are you studying at UCLA?
Well, l'm going for my Masters
in social work
but it's taking me a while.
l can only go part-time because l have
a 5-year-old to raise and support.
How in the world do you
make ends meet?
You'd be surprised.
l do a lot of office temp work
and actually, l work a lot of parties.
You know, party-planning,
event-coordinating. That sort of thing.
- Sounds like fun.
- lt's a living.
So whose are you?
No one's. Whose are you?
Nobody's, yet.
Which one are you interested in?
Doesn't matter.
Any of them. All of them.
l don't get it.
What do you want from them?
You know, to party.
How do you know
they wanna party with you?
Most of the bands do.
What the hell, it's worth a try, right?
Different strokes.
And what are you doing here?
You don't exactly look like their
accountant or nothing to me.
No, l'm not a groupie or anything.
See, me and my friends thought
it would be fun
to see if we could get in here
and meet the band.
Then what?
That's all.
Different strokes.
Cool it, girlfriend. There's a cop.
Damn. This crazy machine
won't take my money.
- Here, try a crisp one.
- Oh, yeah.
You're welcome. Hello.
l'm sorry. l guess
you're not the money lady, huh?
No, l don't think so. l'm Kelly Taylor.
lt's nice to meet you, Kelly.
l'm Bryan Abrams. Thanks a lot.
Oh, my God.
- ls everything okay?
- Yeah, everything's fine.
You know, we have people
to do things for you.
Where is my runner?
You know, l'm gonna can his butt.
lt's all right, you know, l like to get
my own soda once in a while.
- lt's all right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- All right, thanks.
Hey, l was thinking
you might like a pass.
You can check out the show
later on.
No, l couldn't really.
Oh, come on.
Well, l have three friends.
Could l get four?
Okay, you talked me into it.
Come on.
l'll get you as many as you need.
You know what?
l've got three friends too.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
Really?
You know, David,
why can't you just admit
that you don't know everything there
is to know about hotels and bands?
Never said that l knew everything.
lf you're smart, why'd you
let the door close behind us?
l suppose l'm to blame
for getting us locked out in the rain.
- Oh, come on.
- Where's Kelly?
Last time l saw her,
she was in the elevator
on her way up to see the band.
For real?
We've got to catch up with that girl.
Wait a minute.
l mean, you're tired
and you're soaked
and you must
really wanna leave, right?
Donna, there's towels
and there's a hair dryer.
l mean, look at us.
lf we quit now, we're pretty pathetic.
lt just seems so impossible.
Come on, Donna,
you're dying to meet this band.
We already know they're here.
l'm gonna make this happen for you.
You can't give up so easily.
Yeah, thanks.
You know, seeing you here reminds
me of the time we met Bon Jovi.
Yeah, we know what it's like
to be fans.
Oh, l'm not really that big of a fan.
Well, thanks a lot.
No, no, no. l mean, l think you guys
are great, really. l mean it.
l'm not some, like, totally weird
groupie fan.
You know, the kind who...
l don't know.
The kind who sneaks
into hotels maybe?
Exactly.
So, what's it like to have fans?
Honestly? l love it, personally.
But l don't know, what do you think?
- lt's amazing.
- Scary.
Well, l mean, don't get me wrong,
because, you know, we definitely
love meeting our fans.
lt's just when a large crowd of people
come at you at one time,
you know,
it can be kind of confusing.
But we're not complaining
or anything.
l mean, that's what
we've always wanted, so...
Sometimes, it's just easier
to stay up here, you know?
Yeah, what he said.
So is it true what they say,
you can't even go to a mall
without getting mobbed?
Sad but true.
Well, don't worry.
l am personally sick of malls.
Really? l kind of miss it.
You know, maybe Kelly
got trapped somewhere too.
We should probably go look for her.
Come on, she probably just
got bored and did something else.
We dragged her into this
and she's right.
- Who really cares? l don't need to--
- l can't believe this.
Because you're afraid of running into
your mother at stupid charity meeting.
l know you guys are doing this all
for me, which is fine, thanks a lot.
lf this is for me, don't l get to say
when l don't wanna do it anymore?
God, you guys are driving me crazy.
Donna, we just thought
that you would--
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
No, it wasn't real important.
l just called to say hi.
So, hi.
Oh, well, David
and his father checked in,
so we came to hang by the pool
but it's raining.
Yeah, l'm sure.
l love you too, Dad. Bye.
Donna, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
My mother is having an affair.
Anyway, apart from having
my little boy,
the Peace Corps was the most
fantastic experience of my life.
And it's where l met my husband.
Your husband?
- George, the father of my son.
- George.
He's working on his first novel,
for three years.
So l'm supporting him too.
- The book's called The Zen of Surfing.
- Are you serious?
- lt sounds really flaky, doesn't it?
- No, surfing is Zen.
Pure meditation.
l'd love to read that book.
Well, l wish everyone could.
Maybe someday. Have faith.
Look, l gotta go.
l really liked meeting you.
l really enjoyed meeting you too,
Andrea.
l'd love to talk to you again.
Brandon, you have her number?
l know where to get it.
Great, l'll show myself out.
- See you, bye.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye, guys. Take care.
- Later, kid. Bye.
Now are we ready to rock 'n' roll?
Oh, hey, guys, you think a burger
comes with that shake?
Yeah. Definitely.
Destiny.
- ls something wrong?
- No, nothing.
l don't know. lt's like, you're kind
of our friend now, you know?
Don't worry. lt doesn't embarrass me
or anything.
Yeah, l know, but l just
kind of feel weird about it now.
Bad timing, huh?
Yeah, what do you say, Steve?
Let's pay up, call it a day.
All right. l guess you guys are right.
No offence, but l guess it would be
kind of bizarre to see you naked now.
Now that we know you so well.
But thanks.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hi, l'm Brandy.
- Nice to meet you.
- l'm Cindy's cousin.
Sorry, gotta run. See you.
Bye.
Yeah, it is getting late.
l'm gonna run too. Bye, bud.
l'm leaving. See you.
- Later.
- Cindy's cousin?
Different Cindy. Cindy Sanders.
Steve's cousin, Cindy Sanders.
Cindy Sanders.
- How was the Shaker thing?
- lt was really interesting.
But if Brandy
is Steve's cousin's cousin,
wouldn't she be Steve's cousin?
Well, you know, California families.
Divorce, remarriage, who knows?
My thoughts exactly.
Are you sure that
it's not just a misunderstanding?
l mean, the thought of your mom...
lt just doesn't compute.
Yeah, l mean, maybe it was
just a friendly kiss.
You might have seen it
out of context.
l know what l saw.
You can't jump to any conclusions
until you talk to your mom.
What's gonna happen now?
What's gonna happen
when my dad finds out?
My whole life is gonna change now.
But, Donna,
maybe your life won't change.
l mean, maybe your dad
already knows.
He and your mom could have
some sort of arrangement.
How can you say that?
Because it happens all the time.
Practically every kid at West Beverly
has the same story.
Well, l don't care about every kid
at West Beverly.
Donna, David was just trying
to make it easier.
l'm sorry.
Look, you guys, this just isn't working.
l have to get out of here.
- You can stay.
- No, we're going with you.
- Brenda Walsh?
- That's me.
There's a call for you over here.
Thanks.
- Hello?
- l am with the band
and they are the coolest guys.
And guess what.
l got us all passes
for tonight's show.
Way to go, Kelly.
l can't believe you actually did it.
l don't think we're gonna be able to go.
What do you mean?
We're in the front row.
Donna saw her mother
with another man.
Oh, my God. l'll be right down.
No, it's okay. We're just gonna
take her back to my house.
- Bren, l wanna be with her.
- Kelly, go to the concert.
Look, she'd kill you if you didn't go
and report back all the details.
Are you sure?
Yeah, l don't think she's ready
to talk about all this yet, anyway.
Look, l'll talk to you later. Bye.
We'll catch her later.
Do you wanna come
get the car with me?
Thanks. l'm all right.
We're out of here.
David, thank you.
Donna.
Mrs. Martin, we were just leaving.
lt's all right.
l'll meet you outside, okay?
l thought you were going home
hours ago.
How was your charity meeting?
l've been up to my ears
in committees and budgets.
l asked you a question.
What are you doing here?
No, Mother.
What are you doing here?
l saw you.
Yes, on my lunch break.
No, Room 622.
l saw you, Mom.
l don't know what you saw.
You were laughing
and then you were kissing.
lt was in the hallway.
l don't think this is the time
or the place.
Are you?
Are you having an affair?
- Are you?
- Donna.
l will not let you
speak to me this way.
Then just answer me.
Are you, Mom?
- Hey, hey, hey, that's my side.
- All is fair in love and puzzles.
Hi, girls.
Oh, Donna, your mother called
looking for you while you were gone.
l shouldn't even have told her
l was sleeping over here.
- Why? What's wrong?
- Can l tell her?
Why not? Everyone's gonna know
soon enough.
Donna had kind of a weird thing
happen to her today.
She saw-- l mean, that is--
My mother is having an affair.
Oh, my God.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
l can't believe l was so stupid.
l actually thought that l had a family.
Donna, you do have a family.
lt's just...
Oh, l don't know what to say.
l'm sorry.
Well, you don't have to figure
this all out right now.
When will l?
Aren't l entitled to know
how long this has been going on?
lf my parents are getting a divorce?
Who my mother's seeing?
Why can't everything
just be the way it was?
Look at you guys.
Your family never changes.
Excuse me.
Sure it changes.
Hi, is Donna here?
Yes, come right in.
l've been expecting her
for several hours.
She hasn't checked in.
Oh, there you are.
You know how l worry about you.
Excuse me.
- Donna, let's go home.
- Does Dad know?
- We'll discuss this when we get home.
- Fine, l'll ask him myself.
No, you won't.
Look, Donna.
Things happen in a marriage
that are hard to understand.
You want me to understand?
l understand you.
l understand what a hypocrite you are.
Donna--
Like when the whole condom issue
came up,
weren't you the one who went
on and on about abstinence?
God, you wouldn't even let me go
to a concert tonight.
Because it was what?
What did you say, too seedy?
Donna, do not raise your voice
at me.
Why? God forbid, someone
might think that l'm angry.
You care more about appearances,
Mom, than how anyone feels.
Well, l'm angry and l'm not gonna
hide it for appearance's sake.
All right, Donna. l am not gonna speak
to you until you calm down.
Fine, then don't.
Just go.
And l hope you and your boyfriend
have a wonderful life, Felice.
l just can't deal with her anymore.
- Cindy.
- lt's okay.
lt's one of those, you know,
mother-daughter tensions.
lt's that age.
Shall l tell her she can stay here
for a while,
just until things calm down?
You're very sweet.
lt's really-- lt's just one of those
mother-daughter things.
Tell me about it.
- You'll call if...?
- Yeah, l'll call.
Thank you.
Oh, Donna.
Look, l'm not gonna pretend
l know how you feel,
but there is something
l know so strongly.
And you're just gonna have to trust me
on this because l'm a mother.
What is it?
Your mother loves you.
- But--
- Wait a minute, just listen.
Whatever she may have done
in her own life
has nothing to do
with her love for you.
How can that be?
Until you become a mother,
you may not understand this.
But the most important thing
in your life
is the love between
you and your children.
Why can't she prove it
by keeping our family together?
Keeping a marriage
in perfect balance,
it's like walking a tightrope.
Anybody can slip.
You never slip.
Donna.
Come on over here.
l'm gonna tell you
something very private.
Back when we first moved
to Beverly Hills,
l ran into a man that had once been
very special to me.
We'd gone in different directions.
Anyway, seeing him again
with my whole life changing,
the old spark flared between us.
- You had an affair?
- Almost.
Ultimately, l was lucky,
l didn't follow through on it.
But who knows, really.
But one thing l know
absolutely for sure.
You don't stop loving your children.
Honey,
you don't wanna turn your back
on that kind of love.
You think you know
where your life is headed
and you get off an elevator
on the wrong floor
and bang everything's different.
So this is where the bull session is?
Tough news about Donna.
Yeah. l mean, it's so surreal.
l mean,
this morning she was Donna.
And now she's Donna,
but a completely different Donna.
Same Donna,
more complicated world.
And she could probably
use you two
right about now
to help keep it simple.
Us?
Dad, we already feel like weirdos
because you and Mom
are still together.
My God, we really are square,
aren't we?
We'll have to work on it.
Yeah, well, don't work too hard.
Oh, by the way,
Steve's cousin
left her business card.
- l'm a little late for work, Dad.
- Brandon,
in two years, remind me to tell you
about my bachelor party.
l didn't hear you come home.
l understand that you're angry
with me.
You have every right to be.
Don't you love Dad anymore, Mom?
Oh, of course, sweetheart.
l love your father very much.
- l love you too.
- Then how could you?
Donna, this is hard for me too.
What happened this afternoon...
lt's the worst nightmare
l could ever imagine.
l feel like all your faith in me
has been destroyed.
lt has.
And l feel like l've suddenly asked you
to grow up much too fast.
Mom, l am grown-up.
l've been grown-up.
Catching you with some guy
didn't suddenly make me an adult.
lt just hurt me.
lt hurt me so much.
l know.
l know it did.
And l'm so sorry for that,
you have no idea.
What's gonna happen to our family?
Well, first of all,
l'm gonna tell your father
about what happened this afternoon.
l would never ask you
to keep this a secret.
Good, because l couldn't.
But most importantly,
l want you to understand.
You must understand
that no matter what happens
between your father and me,
it has absolutely nothing to do
with our love for you.
You...
You are the most precious thing
in the world to both of us.
Can you trust me on this?
l guess.
Mom, please try and work things out,
please?
Okay.
This is probably pretty lousy timing
on my part,
but we came by to see
if you wanna go hang out tonight.
Brenda and l are going
to the Peach Pit to have some dessert.
Do you need to be rescued?
Thanks, David, but l think l just
feel like hanging out alone tonight.
Do you mind?
Oh, no, no, that's no problem.
l'll just-- l'll catch you
some other time, then.
Why don't you go with them?
l don't know.
- lt just doesn't seem right.
- Go on.
You're lucky to have
such great friends.
Go on, go out and be with them
tonight.
Thank you.
l love you.
l know.
Thanks for coming, David.
Well, we figured you could
probably use us.
Yeah, can l.
l never knew what it was like
to have problems.
Well, welcome to the real world.
Yeah, well, if this is the real world,
you can have it.
All right, iced tea for the sis.
- lsn't that my shirt?
- No.
All right.
Fries, extra crispy for the DJ boy.
And one mint chocolate marshmallow
jellybean extravaganza sundae.
- Are you sure, Donna?
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Hey, you.
- Hey, Kel.
- Kelly.
- Hi.
- Did you go? How was it?
Yes, l went. But how are you?
Fine, fine. Tell us about the show.
Did they sound good?
What did they sing?
Yeah, they were okay.
l don't know the names of the songs.
Anyway, l was thinking about you.
You didn't have to.
Well, l wanted to think of a way
to cheer you up.
Anyway, l met these guys
and they're really, really nice.
They wanted to know
where they could get
the best hamburgers after
the concert. So l invited them here.
They're waiting outside.
l'll just go get them.
She invited guys here
to cheer her up?
Oh, my God.
Donna? These are my friends.
- Kevin, Mark, Bryan and Sam.
- Hello.
- How you doing?
- Hi.
This is Brenda and Donna
and Brandon.
- What's up, guys?
- How you doing?
- Oh, and David Silver.
- Thank you. How you doing?
What's up there?
So all of you
go to Beverly Hills High?
West Beverly.
So where's these famous burgers
everybody's talking about?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
l can't believe they're here
and they're eating hamburgers.
Well, actually, l was going
to make them sing for their supper.
lt is standard operating procedure
around here, guys.
Well, rules are rules.
- Let's get going.
- Let's do it.
- Ready?
- Yeah, sure.
One, two, three.
Dream on, dream away
- l think l'm gonna have to stay
- Stay
Stay forever
You know l love you, yeah
- David?
- Yeah?
Weren't you saying something
about the real world?
- Girl, you're the one that l adore
- Mi amor
- l love you forever more, yeah
- l adore
- l know that l really love my baby
- l adore
- She can give me everything l need
- Mi amor
