Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 10 - Home and Away - full transcript

Look, Brandon is perfectly aware
he's working on a deadline,

what do you say
we just leave him alone, okay?

l don't get how we're supposed
to lay out the paper

without Brandon's editorial.

Craig, it's gonna be fine.

if l have to lay out
the paper myself, l will.

- Thank you.
- Whatever you say.

lt was just another Friday night
in America

and l don't think any of us
stopped to think

that from Pompano Beach
to Saint Paul,

kids all over the country were doing
the exact same thing we were,



l mean, how much more typically
American

can you get than a football game,

a high school dance
and a burger joint?

What was atypical was

that for only the third time
since a man walked on the moon

West Beverly was undefeated
after three games,

And what was even more unexpected
was that my sister, Brenda Walsh,

had volunteered to become
the head of the dance committee,

Bren, why do you want to be in charge
of the Pigskin Prom, of all things?

- Why do you think?
- l don't know,

maybe you wanna date a jock.

What can l say, Dylan?
l'm madly in lust with Tony Miller.

And then again, maybe it's the fact that
all the money raised at the dance

goes to the Alvarado Street Elementary
School for their Christmas drive.



Maybe that has something
to do with it.

l didn't know you were so civic-minded,
Bren.

- And you're going to the dance with me.
- No.

Some of the major social issues
confronting this generation

were also the subject
of fierce debate that night,

- She's definitely coming onto him.
- No, she's not.

- What do you call that?
- Donna, she's a freshman.

David's always been like
an older brother to her.

He and Scott were best friends,
you know that, okay?

She is definitely coming onto him.

But the focus was definitely football,

Specifically next week's game,

which everyone knew would be the
toughest one we'd have all season,

You're the sports editor, you have
an obligation to make a prediction.

Yeah. Who's gonna win?
Shaw or us?

All right.

l predict that a mighty team will fall.

Don't go out on a limb here
or anything.

Hey, hey, come on guys,
it's a tough call.

These guys are good,
what do they call themselves?

The Masters of the Universe?

Should be Armed and Dangerous.

Yeah, if we survive
the ride down there,

the game will be a piece of cake.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.
l've got the scores here.

- Hamilton smashes Jefferson 21 -6.
- Yes.

Quincy and Van Buren tie,
1 3 apiece.

- What about Shaw?
- Shaw?

Come on, just the score, Sanders.

Shaw 49, Wilshire zip.

Like you said, piece of cake.

The guy said something happened

in the closing seconds
of the Shaw game.

Some violence or something.

Well, it's a violent game, Sanders.

l think it was pretty major.

Maybe if we hadn't been
on a winning streak,

l would have jumped on the story,

But it wasn't until breakfast
the next morning that it registered,

Something major
had indeed occurred,

l thought they were supposed
to increase the peace.

What's wrong?

The gangs are at it again.

l hate hearing about that stuff.

Two spectators were shot to death

in the stands at a high school
football game last night.

Where?

You ever heard of
Shaw High School?

Yeah, l've heard of them. That's
the team we're playing next week.

- At their school?
- Yeah.

l wouldn't count on it.

When l got to the team meeting,

everybody was talking about
the incident at Shaw,

The guy on the radio said
it was panic city.

l heard it wasn't anything.

Two guys shot dead
is definitely something, Tony.

Oh, hey, there's no way
l'm gonna play down there, man.

What are you worried about?

What's that supposed to mean?

lt means that l have a little bit more
to worry about than you do.

Hey, look, it's not about
the colour of your skin, bro.

lt's about where you live
and how you talk

and what kind of car you drive.

All right, everybody, listen up.

Now, you've probably heard rumours
about the violence at Shaw.

When Coach Chapman told us
the practise had been called off

so he could attend an emergency
meeting of the school board,

it became clear to all of us
that the only thing normal

that would be happening
at West Beverly that day

would be Brenda's band auditions
for the dance,

Where's Kelly?

lf you'd just hired David
we wouldn't have to go through this.

This is so cool.

You better get this gig, Silver.

Okay, come on, everybody.
Let's get started.

Hey, you with the guitar.

Okay, welcome to
the Pigskin Prom auditions.

First up will be...

...Grudgemaster?

Just hire David.

- Hello, hello.
- Hi.

That smile can only mean one thing.
Big date last night?

Big phone call this morning.

l talked to my father.

He called from Barcelona

and it was definitely the best
conversation we have ever had.

- Kelly--?
- l know what you're thinking, Don,

and l told him straight out, l said:

''l don't even want to talk to you,
if you're just going to shine me again.''

But then he apologised about last year
and explained what happened

and by the end we were both crying.

We just have that effect
on each other.

Anyway, he's flying into town
this Friday just to see me.

Oh, that's great.

- Finally, l get to meet him.
- Yup.

But since l'm not going to the dance,

maybe l should resign
from the dance committee.

- Oh, Kelly.
- l'm sorry, Bren,

but he's only gonna be here
for the weekend.

l'll still stay for the auditions.

Why don't you just hire David?

Meanwhile,
l had tailed Coach Chapman

to his meeting
at the board of education,

l caught him and Mrs, Teasley
in the hallway

just long enough to find that
they weren't pleased l was there,

When they assured me that no formal
decision on the fate of the game

would be made until Monday
at the earliest,

l took my cue and started to leave,

Excuse me.

Who was that guy?

The coach from my school.

West Beverly l presume.

Yeah.

l'm Brandon Walsh.

Jordan Bonner, from Shaw.

So, what did the coach have to say?

Well, there won't be any
formal decision made

until Monday at the earliest.

Anything else?

Well, the prime concern is to
make sure it's safe

to play the game next week.

No kidding.

This is so unnecessary.

Well, two people were killed.

By a rival set from another school.

lt has nothing to do with you people.

Considering we're supposed
to sit in the same bleachers

as the two people who were killed,

l'd say, yes, it does have something
to do with us.

Not to mention the fact we're gonna
have 25 players down on the field.

lt was an isolated incident.

You don't have anything
to worry about, man.

Unless some of your West Beverly
homies are planning something.

Fortunately, we don't have much
street violence in Beverly Hills.

But that doesn't stop you from being
an expert on the subject, now does it?

lt's been really nice talking to you,
Jordan.

They're going to cancel the game.
You know that, don't you?

No. What l know is that
Coach Chapman, Mrs. Teasley

and the whole damn school board
is in there on a Saturday afternoon

trying to figure out any way they can
to make sure this thing happens.

You know, Brandon,
Brandon of Beverly Hills,

you don't know squat.

Less than 1 5 minutes later,
Coach Chapman and the others

called a press conference
to announce

that West Beverly was officially
forfeiting our game with Shaw,

So, how's it going, Ace?

lt's going.

Would you like to read
what l've done so far?

No. This is your editorial.

Just as long as it's not libellous
or profane.

Oh, now you tell me.

Anyhow, how are we doing on time?

l can have a draught to you in about
45 minutes.

That's cutting it a little close,
don't you think?

Not really. l mean, the computer
is already programmed.

All we have to do is lay in the text.
lt's actually basic.

So you're telling me
l can cut out of here and have a life?

- See you tomorrow.
- Adios.

Bye, Gil.

Andrea, there's no way
l can have this done in 45 minutes.

- Brandon--
- l'm doing the best l can.

How much time do you really need?

Let's say if we don't have it done
in an hour,

we'll be in deep you know what.

l'll have it to you in an hour,
l promise.

Hey, come on, chief,

this is what makes
journalism exciting.

Okay, so the gig starts at 7:30,

we need to have
the sound check done by--

How you doing, Donna?

Are we proud of this guy or what?
The Pigskin Prom.

Are we thrilled out of our minds
he's playing there?

How could you ask her
to come with us?

- Donna, l can explain.
- Start explaining.

- You know, Donna--
- Goodbye, Steve.

That's just what l was gonna say.

l'll call you later.

Look, Donna, l've known Sue Scanlon
since she was a little girl.

Well, she's not so little anymore,
David.

She likes music.
She likes musicians.

She's a groupie.

She's Scott's kid sister.

She asked me if she could go
with the band.

What was l supposed to tell her?

Why don't you tell her
that the band wouldn't be playing

unless your very possessive girlfriend
wasn't on the dance committee.

So, what are you saying,
l wasn't the best?

Well, l kind of liked
Grudgemaster myself.

Look, don't worry about Sue, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay?

Fine.

Hi.

You done?

No, Andrea, l'm not done.

And l'll never be done
as long as l have to hear you

keep walking up and down
the hallway.

- l'm-- l'm sorry. l'll go.
- Andrea--

Brandon, you are wasting
valuable minutes here.

Andrea, face it,

we aren't going to make
our deadline.

- Brandon--
- Hey, it's not a crisis.

The computer is
already programmed,

l know how to lay out the paper,

everybody will have a copy of
the Blaze on their desk

first thing tomorrow.

Hey, l'm the coeditor of the paper
for God's sakes,

will you give me a little credit here?

lf you stick in any swear words,
l'm gonna kill you.

Good night, Andrea.

And don't worry.
l know exactly what l'm doing.

l know.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Goodbye. Bye.
- Goodbye. Goodbye.

No one knew what Jordan Bonner
and l had up our sleeves,

but a window of opportunity
had opened,

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, l'm alone. Are you crazy?

No, nobody knows we're doing this,

but they'll all find out soon enough,
won't they?

Yeah, anyway come when you can,
l'll be here.

Even though l am editor
of the West Beverly Blaze,

l never realised how isolated
our school is,

We can't see past
our own concerns,

l guess l knew that
before the game was cancelled,

But it still caught me by surprise
how removed everyone was

from what was really going on,

Guess who has dinner reservations
Friday night at Spago?

Oh, very cool.

Oh, yeah, are people still eating
at Spago?

l'll let you know after l go there
with my father.

So your father's in town?

He called.

He is coming in Friday night for sure.

And wouldn't you know she's using
that as an excuse

not to come to the dance.

A dance without Kelly Taylor
really isn't a dance at all.

Oh, thank you. Bye.

So does that mean
if l get a note from my dad?

No, Dylan.

l have a novel idea.

What if you just cancel the dance
all together?

Are you out of your mind?

l've got two A&R guys coming here
to scope out my main man.

Gee, don't make me nervous
or anything.

You'll do fine.

And what about everyone else,
Donna?

What are they supposed to do?

You know, we're all upset
that the game was cancelled,

but that doesn't mean the world
has to grind to a halt.

Well, it just seems to me having
a dance in honour of the football team

without a football game
is completely ludicrous.

Why don't they move
the game up here?

And risk a drive-by shooting
at halftime?

l think the PTA
would be really into that.

Brandon, you're making it sound like
it's our fault the game was cancelled.

l mean, come on, the guys at Shaw,
they never agreed to play here anyway.

And as much as l'm a sports fanatic,

people around here are more into
having a dance than a football game.

What do you think, sweetheart?

You're not gonna drag me into this.

l'll just stay over here in the neutral
zone if that's okay with you.

The neutral zone?

You hear a phrase sometimes

and something clicks
and you're gone,

So there l was chasing a wild idea

that just might get this game played
after all,

And as l drove south

through a part of town
l'd never actually seen before,

l kept thinking of Henry Thomas,

my boss at the
Beverly Hills Beach Club,

l couldn't help but wonder where his
sporting goods store was located

before it got trashed in the riots,

l wondered how it could be
that l didn't know,

By the time l got to
Shaw High School

and made my way past
the metal detector

that had been installed
since the shooting,

l was convinced that we would
not only get the game rescheduled,

but would absolutely have a chance
to change the world,

Unfortunately,

Jordan Bonner didn't quite see it
the same way l did,

l'm sorry, Walsh, l don't mean
to insult your intelligence here,

but either you are totally ignorant,
or naive in the extreme.

What is so naive about going to
the School Board with a united front,

telling them to move the game to a
neutral field, away from the violence?

Switzerland, that's a neutral country.

We can play the game there.

You got an answer for everything,
don't you, Jordan?

About this stuff...

...yeah, l do.

You know, l came here in good faith,
man,

and you just keep dissing me,
what's with that?

What do you want me to say?

lt was very noble of you
to trek down here.

Man, you need to understand
what's real.

lf we play the game anywhere
but here,

we might as well hand the community
over to the gangs.

The truth is, until we can afford

to have everybody in this world
live happily ever after,

we need to take a stand right here
where the people can see us, hear us

and understand
that we are not afraid to be.

And then Jordan handed me
an editorial he'd written

about the last couple days,

and another idea, a better idea

began to take shape,

This was Bose Hinton's locker.

One of the kids that died.

He was my friend.

Was he a--?

A gang member?

Does it matter?

No, l guess not.

You see, what pissed me off,

was that both those dudes who died
were my friends.

And all l kept hearing about from you
was a football game.

Hey, man, it was never just the game.

l don't know, l--

The whole thing really got to me,
you know?

You should write a eulogy.

l didn't know your friends.

A eulogy for the game, man.

By the time l was ready to leave,
we had a plan,

He had already written a eulogy
for his fallen friends,

l'd write one for the game,

For a way of life,

We'd publish our pieces together,
in both our papers,

Side by side,

l remember thinking things
were beginning to fall into place

as l crossed back into the greenbelt
of Beverly Hills,

l only had one potential problem now,
Gil and Andrea,

We can't publish this. This--

l don't even know what to call this,
it's so over the top.

That's the point,
it's supposed to be incendiary.

And racist?

He practically calls Coach Chapman
a Nazi. We'll be sued.

And why did he have to use
so many swear words?

Because he's angry.

You want us to put a warning label
on it like they do on CDs?

Pretend it's a rap song?

- Brandon.
- Come on, Gil.

This is the best take we're gonna get
on the two kids that were killed.

- Look, what if Brandon edits it?
- No.

Jordan and l are not gonna edit
each other, l insisted on that.

Brandon, it's too long.

Swear words or not,
it's gotta be edited.

Really, Brandon.
l mean, help us out here,

because l'm having a very hard time
convincing myself

that you believe what l'm reading.

The point is that he believes it.

And that's why he should publish it.

You want to take a stand,
then write your own editorial.

but this isn't gonna fly.

Sorry, Ace.

And whatever you write,
make it great.

Two kids were shot to death and the
buzz on this quad continues to be,

''At least they didn't cancel
the dance, ''

And we wonder
why we can't get along,

What are we gonna do, people?

Form two lines
and throw rocks at each other?

Or maybe, just maybe, we can
join together to form one circle,

To those who want to form
the circle,

to those who are willing to start
at the beginning,

l, Brandon Walsh,
personally invite you to--

- Jordan?
- Brandon, how are you doing?

- Good, how are you doing?
- Okay.

- l got something for you, man.
- What's this?

My editorial.

Oh, l already programmed it
into the computer, man.

l didn't change a word.

- You were gonna print that?
- Yeah, we made a deal.

You really are naive.

What do you mean?

That was me getting through
my anger.

This is me getting through.

lt's only two paragraphs.

Yeah. Short, sweet, lean and clean.

''Anything quieter than a gunshot
people don't hear.

And even then,
they don't listen for long.''

- lt's good.
- Thanks.

A lot of people are gonna get
to read that, thanks to you.

And thanks to you,
l gotta redo the layout.

So, what do you got for
the readers of the Shaw Courier?

Hot off the presses.

- This looks very professional.
- Well, we try.

- What?
- l appreciate the invite, bro,

but l think we're doing
a huge thing here

just by publishing
these two pieces together.

Yeah, but if we really want
to shake things up,

we gotta do something
everybody's gonna remember

for the rest of their lives.

l think they will, man.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, Bren, how are you doing?

''Since the administration
didn't let us have a football game,

l, Brandon Walsh, personally invite
each of you at Shaw High School

to join me Friday
at the Pigskin Prom.''

You had no right to do that.

Oh, come on, Bren.
lt'll be good for ticket sales.

From the beginning, you've been
telling me how trivial this dance is.

Well, congratulations, Brandon,
you win.

- They're now going to cancel it.
- Brenda, will you relax?

Let's just wait and see what happens,
okay?

Wait and see? Mrs. Teasley is in there
talking to Mr. Meyers right now.

Brenda, l really think
you're overreacting.

Brandon.

Brandon.

Brandon.

l'm sorry that you feel betrayed,
Andrea, l really am,

but this was just something
l had to do.

You had to lie? You had to print
these editorials behind my back?

After all we've been through, you
couldn't take me in your confidence?

Look, Andrea, this isn't happening
the way it was supposed to.

lt probably would have worked out
if you'd trusted your friends.

Hey, l said l'm sorry.

But not really, are you?

You and l have got some
repair work to do, pal.

What did you say to Mrs. Teasley?

l said we were struggling
to meet a deadline

and some copy fell
through the cracks.

Excuse me,
nothing fell through the cracks.

You could have told her the truth, Gil.

The truth would have gotten you
booted out of school.

You covered up for him?

Let's try to keep this in perspective.

No, let's just try to remember
my name was on the masthead

before either one of you came here.

- Andrea, come on--
- Look, l'm sorry.

l gotta take a walk.

Talk about some repair work.

Brandon, l wouldn't have covered
for you

if l hadn't read Jordan's first editorial

and realised what a big concession
you made by changing it.

l didn't change it. Jordan did that.

Well, at least one of you
used good judgement.

l'm sorry, Gil, but two kids got shot
watching a high school football game

and nobody around here
gives a damn.

l mean, we live on this
sheltered island.

That's why l had to invite
the Shaw kids to the dance.

Look, l know your motives
are solid,

but l've got to be back in
Mrs. Teasley's office in 1 5 minutes

to try to talk her out
of cancelling the dance.

- Why you?
- Because l'm the faculty sponsor.

You're kidding, right?

What can l say?
l'm a sucker for girls in party shoes.

Well, Brenda's positive Mrs. T's
gonna cancel it.

She probably thinks l did this
just to ruin her life.

Don't defend my brother, Dylan.
He's a heinous traitor.

l'm not talking about Brandon.

l'm talking about this guy,
Jordan Bonner.

The thing he wrote is right on.

Well, what's it say?

Well, paraphrased,
you should be nice to your brother.

What do you care if the dance
is cancelled, anyway?

You weren't ever going to go,
admit it.

Oh, that's not true. l was gonna
swoop in for the last tango.

Well, if the dance is called off,

why don't we go to Spago
so l can finally meet Kelly's dad.

Bren, the odds of Kelly's father
showing aren't that great.

He just called her last weekend.

l still wouldn't bet on it.

Well, maybe she knows more about it
than you do.

l mean, why is it around here
that everyone is so certain

they know what's best
for everyone else?

Hey, Walsh,
stick to sports reporting.

- That hurt.
- lt was supposed to.

So is this all an elaborate ruse to get
out of going to the dance with me?

Believe me, l'm not that clever.

Brandon.

lt's my fan club. l'll see you later.

For what it's worth,
l really admired what you wrote.

Thanks.

- Brandon, if this dance is cancelled--
- And it's gonna be.

Next time you find two A&R guys
willing to come to a high school dance.

Brandon, we sold over 400 tickets.
When will David get another chance?

Hopefully tonight.
Guys, it's not over until it's over.

Look, a lot of people think
l screwed up.

Can l say screwed up?

Brandon, Mr. Meyers already explained

how complex laying out the paper is
with the new computer system.

lt's not that.

l know he's gonna be talking with you
about not cancelling the dance.

We went over these exact same issues
when we decided to cancel the game.

Our first obligation is the safety
of students at West Beverly.

The violence at Shaw
really leaves us no choice.

Mrs. Teasley, l've been to Shaw
and l've met some of the students

and they're not so different from us.

This isn't about the colour of people's
skin or how much money they have.

lt's about gunshots.

So, what you're saying
is if the shooting hadn't happened,

they would be welcome here,
right, Mrs. Teasley?

Correct me if l'm wrong,

students from Shaw High School

have never been welcome
at this school, have they?

So Mrs. Teasley called
the principal at Shaw,

and he said that none of the kids
would probably show up anyway.

And then they talked to Jordan,
the other editor that Brandon knows,

and he said he wasn't even going.

Sounds like quite the popular event
you've got going.

Yeah, at least it's going. All we're doing
is adding a couple of security guards.

Well, whoever said there's no more
heroes, never met your brother.

Yeah, Brandon's really good
at making you feel grateful to him

for saving something
that he screwed up in the first place.

Well, the only bummer is that
Sue Scanlon is back in the picture.

l mean, she was cornering David
at the DJ booth

before Mrs. Teasley even finished
her announcement.

Donna, Sue's a good kid.
She just has a couple of problems.

Oh, and lucky me.

l get to worry about them.

Looking like that, you don't have
to worry about anything.

Okay, what do you think?

Bren?

Kelly, are you sure about this?

Too mature?

No, it's just--

l mean, when was the last time
you actually saw your father?

What right do you have
to make judgements on my family?

Kelly, l didn't.

Brenda, you live in Walsh-land.

You have no idea what goes on
in other people's families.

And if you don't know anything about
something, maybe you should shut up.

So tell me honestly.

Well, it looks a little like...

Like what?

Like something your so-called
manager would pick out for you.

l told him that,
but he wouldn't listen to me.

Okay, now me.

Be honest.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

So you sure about not going
to the dance?

My father's just running a little late.

- But what's new, right?
- Right.

Well, if you change your mind...

Thanks.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

David?

Good luck.

Hey, guys, take the night off.

Gil Meyers will be looking
after us tonight.

That's very reassuring, Brandon.

lt was meant to be, Dad.
He takes his job very seriously.

Then where was he when you drove
by yourself down to Shaw?

l didn't mention it to him
until afterwards.

That ought to tell you something.

Look, Brandon,

we're very proud
of your journalistic skills,

but what are we supposed to do
when there are gunshots

and you drive toward them?

l don't know, Mom.

Building a fence around Beverly Hills,
lock me in my room.

l'll get that,

if you think it's safe.

Oh, honey, you look terrific.

Yeah, well, l better.
l'm on my own tonight.

- No Dylan?
- Nope.

l'm a totally independent woman,

which is why
l need to borrow the car.

Oh, the keys are--

On the table by the door.

Thanks.

- Who was it?
- Jordan.

What's wrong?

He said some kids from Shaw--

A lot of kids from Shaw
are on their way to the dance.

Oh, that's because you invited them,
Brandon.

Yeah, but he said some of them
have been drinking.

The mood's not pretty, Bren.

This isn't good.

We better get over there.

Mike, mike check it

Yo, yo, here l am

Mike, mike check it

Yo, l want a, want a,
Want a mike check

l want a mike, l want a,
Want a, Want a mike check

Bring the level up
l want a mike check

Yeah, l want a mike check, yo

We need some more reverb here.

He sounds terrific.

That comes from knowing you're part
of a professional management team.

Hey, l hooked him up with the band,
didn't l?

l thought David found them.

l was in the room when he called.

Yeah. He really is terrific.

That girl has got to go.

Yeah, she definitely is user-friendly,
huh?

Donna.

Where's Mr. Meyers?

- He headed outside for some coffee.
- Well, when is he coming back?

- He didn't say.
- Great.

Look, don't worry.
Everything's under control.

- l wish, Donna.
- What's going on?

What is going on?

Guess who's coming to dinner?

l realise the dance
hasn't officially started yet,

but you can let him in. He's with me.

- Well, who are you?
- l'm the head of the dance committee.

And they're both with me.

All right, go ahead.

Hi, l'm Brenda Walsh,
l'm Brandon's sister.

- Jordan Bonner.
- Hi, l'm Donna.

- Hi, Donna. How you doing?
- Good.

Those guards, should have known
we'd get stuck with a bunch of bozos.

Well, maybe nobody will show.

l don't see them losing interest
on their way down here.

You might wanna get
some metal detectors.

Metal detectors?

Where's Mr. Meyers?

lf these dudes crash, l'm dead meat.

Just be glad you don't do
country and western.

Oh, God. Do me a favour,
just get her to back off, will you?

David, just so we're on
the same wavelength.

People usually go into this business
to get babes.

Where's your rock 'n' roll attitude,
man?

You're pond scum.

That's it. That's the attitude.

Go for it, big guy.

Your band is hot.

Yeah, well, we wanna sound our best
when the riots break out.

Don't be nervous.

- Here. l'm good at this.
- Sue.

Just relax.

Sue, where's Donna?

Three's a crowd.

Don't you think?

Look, it's a real ego trip for you
to be here with me, okay,

but l just can't get it out of my mind
the fact that you're Scott's little sister.

You may think of me that way...

...but that's not the way
you look at me.

Sue, it's a reflex.

Like when the doctor hits your knee
and your foot jumps.

lt doesn't mean anything.

- lt means something.
- Sue.

Look, your brother
was my best friend, okay.

l mean, this is like incestuous
or something.

You don't know what you're missing,
David.

- How many are coming?
- lt doesn't matter.

- We'll be ready for them.
- Hey, guys, l'm telling you this

so everything will stay cool,
not that you'll be ready for them.

Yeah, that's why God
created security guards.

l just wish he'd created more of them.

Gil.

- Gil.
- Hey Brandon, look who l found.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's wrong?

Just about everything.

Hey, Nat.

What do you recommend tonight,
bud?

Try the corner table.

Here, take this to her.

But a word to the wise,

don't compliment her on her dress.

Nat used to tell me

that there were very few problems
a mega-burger couldn't solve.

He didn't even have the courtesy
to call this time.

He had some woman
who claimed to be his secretary

call and leave a message for me
at Spago.

''Your father is very sorry,

but he'll make it up to you next time.''

Some things just never change.

Last time this happened,
l called Cliff Burman

and we got high in his parents'
pool house for three days.

My mom didn't even know l was gone,
she was so coked up.

Well, l hear Cliff's in town.

We could call him right now
if you want to.

What are you saying?

l'm saying that that was back then.

And some people do change, Kelly.

l was so messed up back then.

You know, Steve was right.

Steve?

And what did Steve have to say
about me?

He said that a dance
without Kelly Taylor

isn't really a dance at all.

lt's just a bunch of people
in a big room

kind of waving their limbs around
to very loud music.

Very loud David Silver music.

- So do you wanna go check it out?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Dylan.

l don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Nobody does.

Come on.

This seems like the happening spot.

l don't know, Kell.
Something's not right.

Look, look, look. This dance
is for West Beverly students only.

Yo, man, l was personally invited
by Brandon Walsh, okay?

We gonna form a circle, all right?

- A circle, man.
- All right?

Just turn around and walk away.

Gentlemen, excuse the lady, please.

- So, what is this?
- What's up, man?

- Why are they getting in?
- Because they go to school here.

- You're out of here.
- So it's like that, huh?

- We gotta go to school here.
- Hey, look.

Now, see,
l told you we're invited, man.

That guy's from my school.

Hey, guys, let them in.

Are you in charge here?

No, are you?

Hey, l'm in charge here.

Let them in.

Your call.

That's right.

- Hey, one at a time.
- Get off me, man.

Hey, man, these guys your friends?

l don't think so.

Look around you.

- Nice guy.
- Loc's cool,

but some of these other guys...

Hey, hey, hey, guys. Guys come on.

Give it a rest, would you?

David, let's get
some music happening.

Why isn't anybody dancing.

l think they're too paralyzed by fear.

l really wish somebody would dance.

- l just didn't see this coming.
- No one could have, man.

Are you out of your mind, Brandon?
Anybody could have.

We've positioned ourselves.
How do we turn up the lights?

Why don't you just give it a rest?
You're only making things worse.

Hey, that's enough, Brandon.

Brandon? So you're the genius
who invited these guys.

David, just keep playing.

Wach out. Wach out. Wach out.

Break it up.
Get the Shaw kid out of here.

Hey, hey, hey, they're both ours.
Let them go.

He goes to West Beverly.

- Just messing around.
- Like we always do.

Man, you guys been in everybody's
face since we got here, man.

- Yo, man, it's all right.
- No, man, it's not all right.

What you want?

Do you want to dance?

Come on, we have the whole floor
to ourselves.

So, Brandon of Beverly Hills,

wanna dance?

No.

Don't you know me
better than that, chief?

But does this mean l'm forgiven?

Maybe.

Maybe l just want to torture you.

Yup, switch it up, up, up

Because the problem
Of the racist nation is growing

And l'm not going to sit back, back
And relax

While brothers kill each other

Hey, don't touch that.
You'll ruin the sound.

Trust me.

And l'm not going to sit back back
And relax

While brothers kill each other

How one cannot respect another
Makes me wonder

l use the Force just like a Jedi
Obi-Wan can't touch me

My lyrics furl along the sides
Of what's to make a positivity

No dissin' me
Because of a position

Clear my throat

Listen, they say follow the many
But the many can't catch knowledge

l learned about the hurt
When they bust us up in college

They tried to suck me in
And made me go crazy

Acted hazy, thought to myself
''Me shouldn't be lazy''

Made the music up
So l was respected

None neglected
So the money was collected

Love my neighbour
Because my neighbour love me

A jiggity jack jack jack
The miggity mack to switch it up, G

l told you l'd show up
for the last waltz.

Hey.

Oh, yeah.

Come here.

You were great.

You are great.

Listen, that thing about Sue--

Donna, there is no thing with Sue.

Bose Hinton and Paul Browning,

my two friends who got shot,

they would have liked
to have been here tonight.

They would have liked you,
Brandon Walsh.

You would have pissed them off.

Walsh pisses everybody off.

So who are those guys anyway.

They're football players.

Those are them, huh?

Undefeated, untied,
the Masters of the Universe.

Really? Because, you see,
l have this theory

that if you get a couple of guys
from one team,

a couple of guys from another team
together at--

l don't know,
we'll say a high school dance.

That sometimes, somewhere,
like maybe 1 0 a.m. tomorrow,

a football game will be played.

l bet you they're looking for referees
right now.

There's no off on your switch,
is there, Walsh?

lt'll be a great game.

Nobody could have predicted this.

Jordan, my man,

anybody could have predicted this.
