Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 1 - Misery Loves Company - full transcript

Oh, Steve.

I've been Iooking for you.

Hi, Mrs. TeasIey, what's going on?

WeII, I think
we have a IittIe probIem here.

What?

I just got your grades
and it doesn't Iook too good.

I'm sorry, Steve, but I'm afraid
we're gonna have to hoId you back.

- What?
- There's nothing I can do.

You faiIed every course.

I did? But that's impossibIe.
I passed aII my finaIs.

- Didn't I?
- Look, it won't be so bad, Steve.



You'II just repeat junior year
and besides

we Iove you here at West BeverIy.

No, no, I'm teIIing you, Brandon.
My heart was pounding.

I broke out into a coId sweat.
My eyes--

Steve. Steve, reIax.

- It's onIy a dream.
- Yeah, but it was so reaI.

Can you imagine
being a junior again?

WeII, we're not. We made it.
We're gonna be seniors.

Seniors. I Iike the way that sounds.

Seniors.

Me too.
But first, two months of gIorious,

uninterrupted freedom.

Yeah, but what are we gonna do
aII summer?

What are we gonna do?



What are we gonna do?
We're gonna be at the beach.

We're gonna be picking up chicks.

Yeah, hot, beautifuI, babeaIicious,
sexy, haIf-naked,

- IoneIy chicks.
- With tan Iines.

- Hot fun.
- In the summertime.

Brenda, hurry up,
KeIIy and Donna are here.

How's Brenda?

Oh, not too weII.
She's just miserabIe.

- We'II cheer her up. You'II see.
- WeII, I hope so.

I hate to see her this unhappy.

Good morning, girIs.

- HeIIo.
- Hi.

- How's your mother doing, KeIIy?
- She's big. Very, very big.

You don't know big
untiI you've carried twins.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Ready to go?
- Yeah.

So where are you off to?
It's such a beautifuI day.

Oh, weII, we thought
we'd go bikini shopping.

- You know, stock up for the summer.
- Sounds fun.

- Yeah. You guys, Iet's go.
- Come here, Brenda.

- Have a good time on me.
- No, Daddy, you don't have to--

Come on,

I know you guys think I've been an
ogre these past coupIe of months.

Let me do something
to change my image.

Thanks.

Just don't buy the whoIe store.

Thanks, guys. You're Iifesavers.

You can't keep doing this
the whoIe summer, you know.

You shouId have heard your parents.
They're reaIIy worried about you.

Yeah, your dad even went
for his credit card. He never does that.

WeII, what do you suggest,
I join a convent?

Oh, there's DyIan.

AII right, how do I Iook?

Like a Iying, sneaking, conniving--

Thanks, KeIIy.
I'II be eternaIIy gratefuI.

- AII right, bye.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- DyIan.

And you are one to taIk. You've been
sneaking around with Jake for weeks,

and I have to cover for both of you.
I must be nuts.

WeII, you'II be off the hook
soon enough.

Brenda's gonna have to figure
something out whiIe we're in Europe.

- Brenda, be back here at 6 sharp.
- I wiII.

PersonaIIy, I cannot wait to get
on that pIane to Paris.

Get away from Brenda and DyIan
and MeI and Jackie and the baby.

What about Jake?

Maybe absence wiII make his heart
grow fonder.

Listen, KeIIy, I was thinking.
I'm not so sure I wanna go.

What? Donna, you were the one who
convinced me to go in the first pIace.

WeII,

I was thinking that
maybe if I stuck around,

my parents wouId stay together.

You know, Donna,
if their marriage is faIIing apart,

it's gonna happen
with or without you.

- Do you reaIIy think so?
- BeIieve me,

the further you are from the war zone,
the better.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Here you go, Brandon.

- Your finaI paycheque.
- Thanks, Nat.

And thanks for Ietting me off easy
this year.

I wouId've had to cut back your hours
for the summer anyway.

Don't Iet me catch anybody using this
tiII I get back, aII right?

Yeah, weII,
where am I ever gonna find

somebody who onIy wants to work
two or three hours a day anyway?

You have yourseIf a good summer,
huh?

Thanks, buddy.

Hey, Steve, come back.
I gotta get changed.

Yeah.

WeII, is it aII there?

- What there is of it.
- How much?

This is Iike for a day, right?

No, Steve. A week.

- That's pathetic.
- Give me that.

This is it? This is pizza money.

Steve, when they say,
"Die, Yuppie Scum,"

you know who they're taIking about,
don't you?

Man, I can't beIieve
how spoiIed you are.

Hey, I'm not spoiIed.

I'm priviIeged.

Besides, I can get a job if I reaIIy,
reaIIy wanted to.

Yeah, right.

Brandon, what's the big deaI?
I just don't need a job.

Steve, it's okay. Just go ahead and Iive
off your mother for the rest of your Iife.

You Ieave my mother out of this.

AII right, then why don't you put
your money where your mouth is.

I wiII bet you
this paycheque in its entirety

that you cannot get
and keep a job for one week.

You?

Come on. This is a joke, right?

No, I'm not kidding.
I'm appIying for the job.

- It onIy works a few days a week.
- Great.

When can you start?

I don't know,
how about a week from Monday?

How about, Iike,

tonight?

I'm gonna see your father tomorrow,
Bren.

Why?

Because I want a new trustee
for my money.

DyIan, come on. Don't rock the boat.
I mean, things are going great.

What? This is great? Are you
enjoying this, Bren? Sneaking around?

What are you gonna do
when Donna and KeIIy go to France?

I don't know. I'II teII them
that I'm going to the movies

or going for a waIk or something.
I'II handIe it.

You can't even mention my name
in your house.

I don't reaIIy think
it's in my best interest

for your father to have any controI
over my Iife.

You know, I used to think
it was speciaI,

the way that my dad
was Iooking out for you.

It seemed Iike
it made you a part of the famiIy.

WeII, he's made it very cIear
that I am not part of the famiIy.

I never wiII be.

I sure wish we were going to Paris.

Yeah, I used to go to Europe
every summer when I was a IittIe kid.

You went to Europe every summer?

We went to Lake Minnetonka.

WeII, my dad was kind of a high roIIer
back then, you know.

So we'd go everywhere first cIass.

Big hoteIs, Iimousines.

The Iimousine wouId come
and take us out into the country

and we'd have picnics just Iike this.

It was great.

- Sounds wonderfuI.
- You know, it was.

I'd take you there right now
if I couId.

- Private WaIsh reporting for duty, sir.
- WaIsh.

How many times do I have to teII you
not to bother me

whiIe I'm watching
Young and the Restless?

- Oh, sorry, Henry. I'II come back.
- WaIsh, WaIsh, I was just kidding.

- It's great to see you.
- You too.

Come on. Let's take a waIk
by the water.

Take advantage of the free time
whiIe we stiII can.

Okay.

SmeII that saIt air.

We're Iucky guys to be abIe to spend
a summer down here at the beach.

My sentiments exactIy.

Yeah, but things are gonna be different
this year.

I saw the new
pIayground equipment.

I hear we're gonna have
a reaI summer camp.

I'm not taIking about swings
and seesaws, WaIsh.

What do you mean?

You don't know much about me,
do you?

Where I Iive, what I do for a Iiving.

No, I guess I don't.

I used to work at the Crenshaw
YMCA. Programme director.

And every summer I come here.

- Not a bad way to make a Iiving.
- It wasn't. It's great.

But Iast year, I thought, "You're
40 years oId. It's time to go for it."

So I got together
with my brother-in-Iaw, Marcus.

We mortgaged our houses,
took out Ioans on top of that

and bought ourseIves
a sporting-goods store.

Didn't think I was gonna be back here
this summer,

business was getting so good.

Then it

aII went up in smoke.

We Iost everything to the Iooters

and what they didn't get
burned in the fire.

I'm reaIIy sorry.

It goes Iike that sometimes, I guess.

The hardest part
was watching my hometown burn.

See, no one's innocent, WaIsh.

AII of us have been hurt.

WaIsh,

isn't that your sister?

Yeah, it is.

- WouId you excuse me for a minute?
- Yeah, go ahead. I'II catch you Iater.

WeII, if it isn't Romeo and JuIiet.

Thought you were shopping
with KeIIy and Donna today.

Change of pIans.

You don't ever Iearn, do you?

You know, you're not my warden,
Brandon.

I know, it's none of my business.

But I'm not gonna be
your accompIice either, Bren.

Hey, Brandon, wait a minute.
Listen to me, man.

None of this wouId be happening

if your parents stop treating me
Iike I'm a pariah.

I don't speak for my parents.

Okay, so teII me one thing,
what the heII did I do?

You're the guy
who's taking their IittIe girI away.

- It scares them.
- She's not a IittIe girI.

If they'd Iet me in,
I wouIdn't have to take her away.

DyIan, I'm not judging you.

But there's nothing I can do
either way.

I swear, if Brenda is not here
in five minutes, I'm Ieaving.

I don't know why I Iet you guys
taIk me into these things.

- Because you're such a good friend.
- Yeah.

- And there they are.
- See?

- So I'II see you tomorrow?
- Maybe.

- DyIan.
- Bren,

I'm getting reaIIy tired
of sneaking around.

The onIy other choice is for us not to
see each other. Is that what you want?

I'm not saying that.

I know you're not.

Look, why don't I caII you
once my parents are asIeep, okay?

AII right.

I Iove you.

I Iove you too.

So did you find any cute bathing suits,
honey?

What?

You went bikini shopping,
remember?

Yes, I remember, Brandon.
And no, I didn't buy anything.

- Hey, don't bark at me.
- Guys.

Sorry, Dad.
I'm not in a very good mood.

Oh, reaIIy? I wonder why?

Why don't you just shut up,
Brandon?

Brenda.

I'm sorry.

You've been moping
around here for weeks now.

Don't you think it's about time
you snapped out of it?

No.

Not if I can't see DyIan.

That's a cIosed book, Brenda.

Whatever you say, Dad.

I can't go to Europe.

- Why not?
- Look at this.

- What's wrong?
- I can't show that picture to anyone.

I Iook horribIe.

You Iook cute.

No way. I can't go.

Donna, get reaI. It's just a passport.

Can I take your order?

Steve?

At your service.

AII right, stop staring.

Look, I work here now.
It's no big deaI.

WeII, I think you Iook kind of cute.

Oh, reaIIy cute. Make sure and
have Nat sew your name on the shirt.

Can it, SiIver.

Look, it's a bet, aII right?

Brandon bet me
that I couIdn't hoId down a job.

- Oh, does Nat know this?
- No.

And neither of you two weaseIs
are gonna teII him, right?

Steve, we're backing up here,
come on.

Be right there, Nat.

Wait a minute,
what about our order?

Nat, I thought you said
it wasn't busy this time of year?

- Yeah, things are reaIIy hopping, huh?
- Yeah.

Thanks.

- Oh, waiter, waiter.
- I'm Ioving this, Brandon.

I never knew what I was missing.

Okay, here we go,
we got the megaburger with chiIIi,

the meIt, fries, rings,
two chocoIate shakes.

HoId it, I didn't order this.

Sure you did. Look, I have it right here.
Megaburger with chiIIi and a meIt.

I want my food and I want it now.

Ma'am, I'm sorry. We'II get this
straightened out for you right away.

It's his first day.

Are we having a IittIe probIem here,
Stevie?

The company's
aIready two quarters behind, Bob.

Okay.

Yeah, that sounds great.
How about if I come over to the hiII?

Sure, I Iove risotto.

Great, okay, terrific.
I'II see you there.

I haven't maiIed your cheque
this week.

But since you're here,
I might as weII give it to you.

Thank you.

So,

did schooI go weII this semester?

Did schooI go weII this semester?

Yeah, I guess it did.

Good.

Pretty soon, you'II have
to start thinking about coIIege.

Since you certainIy have enough
money to go anywhere you want,

aII you need are the grades.

I appreciate your concern,

but where or if I go to coIIege
is reaIIy none of your business.

ActuaIIy, it is.

As your trustee,
I'm responsibIe for your weII-being.

Look, Jim,

you may think
you can controI your daughter.

HeII, you may actuaIIy beIieve
you are controIIing her.

You can't controI me.

Is that why you caIIed this meeting?

I caIIed this meeting
because I want a new trustee.

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.

Hey, I can get a Iawyer.

DyIan, I wouId be happy to hand the
administration of your trust

over to somebody eIse.

But the fact is, I made a commitment
to your mother

and unIess she decides differentIy,
the trust is immutabIe.

Your mother wanted some consistency
in your Iife. Some direction.

What, and you're supposed to be it?

DyIan, on the day you turn 21,

you can take that money and you can
fIush it down the toiIet if you want.

But untiI then,
you are stuck with me.

Whether you or I Iike it or not.

Fine.

Don't you ever ask me how it was
in schooI, okay?

It's getting to the point where
I'm as sick of DyIan as he is of me.

I shouId have charged him
with kidnapping

when he took Brenda down
to Mexico.

He couId have shared a ceII
with his father.

Oh, Jim, he's not that bad.

How can you say that
after everything that's happened?

Oh, honey, aII I know is that Brenda's
miserabIe.

And she's not snapping out of it.

Maybe we shouId reconsider.

Wait a minute,
we agreed DyIan is no good for her.

Now, you gotta stick by me on this.

See anything you Iike?

Yeah, I'II take one of those,
and one of those, two of those.

Yeah, weII, Iook,
there's not gonna be any time

for sightseeing on opening day,
okay?

Yes, sir.

Hi, Henry. Hi, Brandon.
How you doing?

- Andrea.
- Andrea.

Why are you wearing that shirt?

I'm running a kiddie camp programme.
I'm head counseIIor.

- She is?
- I didn't want Henry to teII you.

Isn't it great?
We can hang out aII summer together.

- Yeah, it's great.
- No time for smaII taIk.

Henry, the kids are signing up
Iike crazy and I need more hats.

- Right over there.
- Great, see you guys Iater.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Henry, why didn't you teII me
you hired Andrea Zuckerman?

You heard her,
she said she wanted to surprise you.

I'm surprised, aII right.

It's gonna be a reguIar West BeverIy
reunion around here.

There was a great candidate
from BeverIy HiIIs High SchooI.

But when Andrea gave you as a
reference, how couId I turn her down?

Great.

WaIsh,

is there something I shouId know
about? She isn't your girIfriend, is she?

No, no, no, no, we're just friends.

So, what's the probIem?

WeII, she's aIways kind of--

Kind of,

you know, Iiked me.

And I don't wanna spend aII summer
feeIing guiIty

every time I taIk to another girI.

Yeah, weII, maybe this way
you'II keep your mind on your work.

Come on. Get up.

Dad, I'm reading.

That can wait.
I've got a surprise for you.

WeII, what?

Just something guaranteed
to cheer you up.

Throw on some shorts. Come on. Your
mom's aIready packing up the car.

- Where are you going?
- Just come on. You'II find out.

Dad, I wish I couId.

But I made pIans with KeIIy
for the day.

WeII, change them.
This is a surprise.

Dad, I can't.

Look, I'm sorry.
But can it wait untiI tomorrow?

AII right.

Is Brenda ready?

She's not coming.

Even after you toId her
it was a surprise?

Yeah. The same kid
who used to torture us

every birthday and Christmas
to find out what her presents were,

didn't even try to pump me.

I'm worried about her, Jim.

I mean, it feeIs Iike she's drifting off
on some emotionaI iceberg.

I know Brenda. BeIieve me, this is
her stubbornness coming through.

She's decided
if she remains miserabIe Iong enough,

we'II finaIIy give in.

I'm not giving in.

Come on, Iet's forget about Brenda
for a coupIe hours.

Have some fun today, huh?

WeII, at Ieast Brandon
wiII get a kick out of this.

WaIsh, take this to the new coupIe
in cabana 33, okay?

- No probIem.
- Great.

HeIIo, anybody home?

- Surprise.
- Surprise.

Mom.

Dad.

- What are you doing here?
- We finaIIy decided to take your advice

and Iive a IittIe.

So we're spending the summer
at the beach.

Great.

So, now my mommy and daddy
are here too.

Any more surprises
I shouId know about, Henry?

No, that's it.

Now, get over to the parking Iot.
Mrs. GoIdberg's got an armfuI.

- I'm on my way.
- AII right.

- Hi, Mrs. GoIdberg.
- Hi, Brandon.

- Nice to see you again.
- Nice to see you.

Jason, Jeffrey, Justin,
get over here this minute.

- Cabana 19.
- Yeah, I remember.

KeIIy, have you seen DyIan?

No, not yet, but I asked him
and Brenda to be my guests.

- WeII, your guests have arrived.
- Good.

Not good.

Why? What's wrong?

My parents
are the new coupIe in cabana 33.

- Oh, no.
- Oh, yeah.

I gotta find Brenda before they do.

Jim, you've got to come out here.

The view is spectacuIar.

Be right there.

You know,
these upper cabanas cost Iess

than the ones
with direct beach access,

but for us I think it's actuaIIy better.

You got a view of the ocean
and you're up and away

from aII the noise and the crowds.

I can't beIieve
we waited this Iong to join.

This is reaIIy fabuIous.

Yeah, but you know,
maybe we shouId get out of the sun.

But we just got here.

I know. Let's go check out
their paddIe tennis courts.

Come on. Let's just stay up here.

By ourseIves.

Enjoy the view.

You tried to keep me
from seeing this, didn't you?

Jim...

I guess the surprise is on us.

Donna, have you seen
Brenda and DyIan?

Yeah, a IittIe whiIe ago.
Down by the showers. Why?

Thanks.

AII right.

Hey, hey, no fighting, you guys.

Be good, aII right, other foot,
other foot. There you go. There you go.

Andrea. Andrea.

Oh, Brandon,
just the guy I was Iooking for.

Everybody, this is my friend
Brandon WaIsh, I want you to say hi.

Hi, Brandon.

Hi, kids.

Do you know where they keep
the badminton stuff?

Yeah, it's up in Henry's office.
Listen, have you seen Brenda?

She was over here.

Yeah, she's over there.

- Great. Thanks.
- Sure.

- Bye, kids.
- AII right.

Come on, next in Iine.

- Brenda. DyIan.
- Hey.

Hey, Brandon.

Listen, Mom and Dad joined
the Beach CIub. Cabana 33.

Oh, my God.
Dad said he had a surprise.

Look, maybe you two
shouId take off, huh?

- What'd you teII them?
- Nothing.

Hey, I'II go up there with you right now
if you want me to.

No, DyIan.
They might not even know you're here.

Fine, Bren. If that's the way
you want it, you're caIIing the shots.

- DyIan.
- Bren, whatever you want,

I'm through pIaying games.

Do you think they saw us?

I think you better have
a damn good story ready.

WeII, what wouId you say?

Bren, I wouIdn't be sneaking around
in the first pIace.

If I was, I wouIdn't be
stupid enough to get caught.

You know, Brandon,
that's easy for you to say.

But if they were keeping you
from someone you Ioved,

you'd be singing a different tune.

You want some moraI support?

No, go on. You have work to do.

Good Iuck.

Mom, Dad, hi. Brandon said
you joined the Beach CIub.

So this is the surprise.
This is great.

I can't even beIieve
that I'm here today.

Yes. What a coincidence.

WeII, KeIIy and Donna
wanted to cheer me up

and thought they'd take me to the
beach, you know, get some sun.

Brenda,

stop.

What?

"I wish I couId, Dad.

- KeIIy and I made other pIans today."
- Dad.

Why is it whenever I see
the two of you

he aIways has his hands
aII over you?

And to think that you have been
feeding us this entire misery routine.

You have been Iying to us

and sneaking around for what,
for two months now, haven't you?

Haven't you?

Yes.

Did I raise you to be a Iiar?

Did I?

No.

Brenda, I think you know
I have aIways been sympathetic.

But this deceit,

this totaI disregard for everything
your father and I have said.

Where's DyIan?

Didn't he have the guts to come
up here and face the music?

Yes, he did. I wouIdn't Iet him.

We're going home.

I said, Iet's go.

Can I say something?

Can I pIease say something?

No, you cannot say something.
Don't say a word.

I'm finished Iistening
to what you have to say, Brenda.

- Do you understand me?
- No, I don't understand you.

I don't understand any of this.

Brenda, come back here.

Brenda.
Come back here this minute.

You know, you are wrong, Dad.

You've been wrong for a Iong time.

You're wrong about me
and you're wrong about DyIan.

But you're right about one thing.

DyIan and I
shouIdn't be sneaking around.

And I shouIdn't have Iied to you.

Now, I'm not gonna Iie to you anymore.
I'm in Iove with DyIan, Dad.

He is an important part of my Iife.

And I'm gonna see him
whenever and wherever I want.

Brenda, I'm warning you,

you waIk away from me right now,
things wiII never be the same.

I stiII can't beIieve Jim and Cindy
actuaIIy spIurged and joined the cIub.

Steve, you're spiIIing everywhere.

Poor Brenda, she'II be Iucky
if they Iet her out of the house.

I wish I'd brought my camera.
Did you hear Mr. WaIsh?

I think everybody in the cIub
heard him.

WeII, I warned her to be carefuI.

Did it ever occur to anybody
that maybe she wanted to get caught?

You know, Steve,

watching you
just gave me a reveIation.

Soda.

Jerk.

Soda jerk. Get it?

Go on, insuIt me. The money
is as good as mine, Brandon.

- Yeah?
- Steve, your order's up. Come on.

Must be pretty cosy down there
at the Beach CIub

with your parents and Andrea
Zuckerman Iooking over your shouIder.

Oh, how's Brenda? I was worried
about her after I dropped her off.

I reaIIy don't know.
I'm afraid to go home.

Brandon, what time do you get
to the cIub in the morning?

Seven.

I don't have to be there tiII 8:30,
but can you give me a Iift?

- It sure beats taking the bus.
- No probIem.

WeII, for that matter, you couId
probabIy give her a ride home too.

Yeah.

Steve, don't you have some work
you shouId be doing?

No, I'm on a break.

Jay. Jay, over here.

- Hey, how you doing?
- Everybody,

- you remember Jay Thurman?
- Yeah.

You know the Blaze hasn't been
the same since you Ieft.

And what am I, chopped Iiver?

Yeah.

- How you doing Jay? Brandon WaIsh.
- Jay Thurman.

Jay graduated the year
before you moved here, Brandon.

He used to be editor of the Blaze.

So, WaIsh, Andrea teIIs me
you're the features editor, right?

- No, sports.
- Oh, sorry.

So, Jay,
are you stiII at Northwestern?

Yeah. I just finished
my sophomore year.

Jay's working for CNN this summer.
In the eIection unit.

WeII, I'm just an intern,
but I wiII get to go to the conventions.

- That's great.
- Join us, we have pIenty of room.

Thanks. But Andrea and I
are gonna head out to a movie.

Yeah. We're probabIy the Iast two
peopIe on the face of the Earth

who have not seen
Batman Returns yet.

WeII, give my regards to Catwoman.

- Brandon, I'II see you.
- Okay.

It was good to see you guys.
Nice to meet you.

Take care, man.

Are they--? Is that a date?

WeII, they do Iook awfuIIy chummy.

WeII, Andrea couId do a Iot worse.

Yeah. He's gotten so good-Iooking.

CoIIege does that to you.

WeII, I guess you won't have to be
worrying about Andrea Zuckerman

Iooking over your shouIder now,
wiII you?

Jim, both of her suitcases are gone.
And most of her cIothes.

WeII, at Ieast we know
where she went.

I'm caIIing there.

No.

I'm going over there.

Hey.

What's going on?

I Ieft home.

I can't Iive with my parents anymore.

What happened?

You were right.

We can't sneak around.
And I can't keep on fighting with them.

If my parents don't approve of my Iife,
they don't have to watch me Iive it.

DyIan.

It's gonna be aII right.

Don't worry.

What am I doing?

Waiter, you missed a spot.

And when you get a chance
I'd Iike to get a refiII on my iced tea.

You've aIready had three.

Oh, you're keeping track,
how thoughtfuI.

StiII, I'd Iike to have another.

Steve, get over here. I have to get
some more eggs out of the cooIer.

You'd better hurry, Stevie.
Don't wanna tick off the boss man.

Brandon, Nat Ioves me.

Okay? This is working out great.

Come on, Sanders.
I'm not paying you to sociaIise.

- Chop, chop.
- Coming.

Look at that. Poetry in motion.

Brandon, can I taIk to you?

Yeah, sure.

AIone.

Yeah, okay.

It's not working out with Steve.

- Oh, no?
- I don't know how to break it to him.

Maybe you shouId just teII him
the truth, Nat. I'm sure he can take it.

I can't even figure out
why he wants this job.

It's not Iike he needs the money.

It's Iike he's got something to prove,
you know?

Maybe you shouId give him
another chance.

Yeah. You're right.
I mean, he is trying hard.

Oh, jeez, he's kiIIing me. Steve.

Can't you try to be
a IittIe more carefuI?

OmeIettes, anyone?

Thanks.

So, what did you teII them exactIy?

I didn't teII them anything.
They weren't home. So I just Ieft.

Great.

DyIan.

I don't wanna see him.

Bren.

Look, DyIan, pIease Iet me stay.

Let me in, DyIan.

Don't make me go back. I can't.

- Where is she?
- She doesn't wanna see you.

That's too bad.

You teII her to get her things
and come out here.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

I'm not Ieaving, Daddy.

You get your bags, young Iady.
We're going home.

No.

Not untiI you accept DyIan
as a part of my Iife.

We'II taIk about it at home.

That's not good enough.

I'm not Ieaving
without my daughter.

That's between you and Brenda.
This is my house.

I'm gonna have to ask you to Ieave.

Brenda, you come out here
right now.

So, what are you gonna do?

You gonna go and drag her out
kicking and screaming?

That's what this has come to.

DyIan,

whatever this has come to,

it hasn't come to that.

Shift over so soon, Stevie?

Here.

- What's this?
- You win, okay?

Just don't rub it in.

You got fired aIready?

This must be some kind of record.

I didn't get fired. I quit.

You quit on a bet?

Okay, I got fired.

WeII, you're right. I'm just not cut out
for this kind of stuff.

WeII, Steve,

Iook at it this way.

You may be a Iousy waiter,

but you're a damn good customer.

That's right.

And tomorrow, first thing at that beach,
I'm gonna have you waiting on me.

The way it shouId be.

A return to the naturaI order.

We can aII rest easier now.

- Are you stiII up?
- Yeah. Come on in.

I just dropped Donna off at home.

And you'II never beIieve
what we waIked in on.

What?

Her parents were going at it
in the Iiving room.

- Another big fight?
- No.

They were haIf-naked.

You're kidding me?

No, so I guess
the whoIe divorce thing is off.

Wow, weII, I guess Donna doesn't
have any more excuses Ieft.

No. She's going to Paris.

You don't sound
very happy about that.

I'm gonna miss her.

I may even miss you too.

KeIIy.

- Yeah. You going to bed, Mom?
- Not exactIy. My water just broke.

Oh man, I don't know
if we can get a pIumber this Iate.

You idiot.
She's going into Iabour, move.

- What? Where's my dad?
- I just caIIed him in the car.

He's stuck in traffic.

WeII, what do we do?
BoiI water or something?

No, you go get the car,
just go get the car.

- Okay, you aII right?
- I'm fine. I'm having a baby.

Okay, Iet's go get your stuff.
Your suitcase is in here, I know it is.

Are you aII right?

I don't wanna Iose her, Jim.

We're not gonna Iose her.

We'II figure this out.

Hey, what's going on?

Where's Bren?

Where do you think?

- What?
- She moved out.

To DyIan's.

And you Iet her?

Oh, we didn't have much choice.

I didn't think it wouId come to this.

None of us did.

So...

...what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Do you have any suggestions?

WeII,

for starters,

I think you two shouId reaIIy Iook at
the situation a IittIe differentIy.

I tried not to get invoIved,
I didn't want to.

But, I gotta teII you.

I think most of your probIems
with DyIan

don't reaIIy have that much to do
with DyIan.

You coming to bed?

In a minute.

What's wrong?

I can't sIeep with you tonight.

Why not?

Because I'm gonna Iie there.

I'm gonna cIose my eyes

and aII I'm gonna see
are my parents watching me.

Brenda.

I can't get away from them.

I feeI so guiIty for Ieaving.
It must be kiIIing them.

It's okay.

I'II just sIeep out here.

You need to get some rest.

I'm sorry. I feeI Iike such a IittIe kid.

Don't worry about it.

I Iove you.

I Iove you too.

Now go on. Get to bed.

- Good night.
- Good night.
