Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 12 - Destiny Rides Again - full transcript

I've seen this, I've
seen this, seen that.

Why don't you just get a video
that you want to see again?

How about Father of The Bride?

Donna, you've
rented that 50 times.

Why don't you just buy it?

Why don't we see a
classic for a change?

I'm going to go
look at the how-tos.

How to what?



Wouldn't you like to know.

Where's David?

Taking a walk on the wild side.

Oh.

Hey, little boy, are you lost?

Donna, uh...

Having fun?

Why?

You want to have fun with me?

I don't think so.

Are you sure?

Ooh, this is disgusting.

Come on.

Donna? Donna Martin?



Is that you?

Hi, Father Chris.

Look at this.

You're all grown up now.

Yep, 18.

So I see you're looking
for musical comedies.

That's a joke.

Oh. Oh.

Uh, David, this is Father Chris.

He gave me my first communion.

Hi.

Nice to meet you, David.

Nice to meet you, too.

Donna, why don't you
stop by some time?

Don't be a stranger.

I will, I'll come in
soon, I promise.

Bye. Bye-bye.

Can we get out of here before
David gets arrested, please?

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, I don't believe it.

Monsieur Rick. What
is he doing here?

I don't know, Donna,
what am I gonna do?

Hide me.

Um, Bren, I hate to tell you,

but I don't think you're
gonna get out of here

without him seeing you.

You're right.

Okay, whatever I say, whatever
I do, you guys just play along.

Promise me? Yeah.

W-What is she talking about?

Oh, that's the guy
she met in Paris.

So?

So he thinks she's French.

Rick?

Brenda?

Oh, my God. Brenda DuBois.

I never thought
I'd see you again.

What are you doing here?

I think that should be
my question, shouldn't it?

Brenda, God...

It's, it's so good to see you.

Well, I am visiting
my American relatives

in Beverly Hills.

And I transferred to UCLA.

Ah, so you did leave the
cold winters behind after all.

Yes, I did.

I cannot believe this
is actually happening.

God...

You know, I waited a long time
for you that morning in Paris.

I know.

I am sorry.

I thought I would
never see you again.

So, how long are
you in town for?

Just a few more days.

Well, since you gave
me your tour of Paris,

then I absolutely
insist that you let me

give you my tour of LA.

Rick, I don't know.

I mean, I am leaving so soon.

Come on, Brenda.

I mean, here you are.

Here I am.

It's kismet.

What?

Fate.

Destiny. Kismet.

So where are you staying?

With my aunt and
uncle, the Walshes.

God, you are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Brenda, I still can't believe

you spent $350 on
an SAT prep course

and your score in English
only went up 20 points.

Ah, but who's counting?

I don't know.

You're the mathematician.

Tell me, what does
that work out to

on a cost per basis?

$17.50 a point.

Thanks, Dad.

I'll get it.

Hello.

Well, yes, she is, may
I ask who's calling?

A boy named Rick wants

to know if my niece Brenda

is at home. Oh, I'll get that.

Bonjour, Rick.

Comment allez-vous?

Tonight? Uh...

No, I must have
dinner with my family.

Oui.

Saturday is still fine.

What's with the accent?

Je ne sais pas.

It is good to hear
from you, too.

A demain. Au revoir.

Brenda.

Yes?

Would you mind explaining
what that was all about?

Or are we gonna have
to beat it out of you?

It was nothing.

I just met this guy in Paris

and I never thought
I'd see him again.

So I pretended to
be French, that's all.

That's all?

Well, I thought that was
all until I bumped into him

at a video store.

Ah, but you haven't
told him the truth?

Mom, how could I?

It would break his heart.

Well, I think you'd
better get ready

to say "au revoir, mademoiselle"

because I think this
guy will probably freak

when he finds
out you lied to him.

He won't find out.

That's right, Brandon.

Don't you worry
about your sister.

She knows exactly
what she's doing.

Are you sure you don't
want me to hire a painter?

No, I want to do it. It's fun.

Besides, it's not like I
have anything better to do.

Kelly, what's bothering you?

I would have thought
those SAT scores

would have put you in a
great mood. I'm in a fine mood.

Honey...

happy teenagers do not
paint their rooms black.

The video said it was dramatic.

Kelly...

Come on.

Talk to me.

I don't know, Mother.

It's just, like, you have Mel.

Donna has David.

Brenda has Dylan...

and now some
guy she met in Paris

shows up out of nowhere.

And so she's juggling two guys

and I have nobody.

Honey...

you're young, you're beautiful

and you have your
whole life in front of you.

You're gonna meet someone.

Meeting someone
isn't my problem.

I meet people every day.

I just fall in love
with the wrong ones.

Well, take it from somebody
who's been married five times.

You can't always control
who you fall in love with.

What do you do if it's
somebody you can't have?

What's going on, Kel?

Who is he?

Nobody.

It's okay, go
ahead, I'll be fine.

I have my whole
life ahead of me.

Donna, isn't this
usually the point

where you tell me
to stop and go home?

Oh, David...

You mean, you don't
want me to stop?

No.

I mean, I mean yes.

Look, if you're ready, I am.

I mean, I, I really am.

Well, I don't know if I am yet.

But you might be soon?

I don't know.

I'm sorry, David.

It's okay, you don't
have to apologize.

Well, how do you think I feel?

I mean, I can't believe I
even let you in my bedroom.

Well, how do you feel?

Warm.

Then what's the problem?

Your parents are out of town.

Neither of us have any diseases

because we haven't done it yet.

And I have protection,
so you won't get pregnant.

There's more to
it than that, David.

I was brought up believing
I'd wait till I got married.

I can't just wipe all that out
because of how my body feels.

Look, Donna, you're 18, I'm 17.

Now, I don't know how you feel,

but chances are I'm not gonna
be thinking about marriage

for another ten years.

I just can't wait that long.

Look, I gotta get out of here.

All this making
out is getting to me.

♪ Would you look
inside your heart? ♪

♪ Would you start believing? ♪

Can you believe it?

Donna went up 80
points on her SATs.

Yeah, that review course we
took really helped my score.

How'd you do, Steve-o?

About the same.

Not so hot, huh?

It'll do.

You know, you're awfully quiet.

How'd you do?

I don't know. I haven't
got 'em back yet.

I think it's 'cause I
took the test out of town.

Brandon.

Yeah, what's up?

Don't tell anybody this, okay?

What is it, Steve?

The truth of the matter
is, I bit it on my SATs.

How bad?

Let's just say, I can
kiss SC good-bye.

Hey, Steve, how's it going?

It's going.

Oh, how I love having
a freshman buddy.

You know, Steve, colleges
do look at other things

besides your SAT scores.

It's not exactly like I
have the grades, either.

Well, there are other schools.

Not in my family.

Well, I guess that only

leaves one thing
then, doesn't it?

What?

Study.

Thanks, pal.

Anytime, brother.

Herbert, I'm sorry for
being such a jerk before.

I've got a lot of
things on my mind.

That's okay.

Look, I've got
tickets to the Raiders.

I thought maybe
you'd like to go.

With you?

Yeah, with me.

Wow.

That'd be great, thanks.

It's no big deal.

I've got season tickets.

So you really want
to hang out with me?

Sure.

You're a decent kid.

I'd like to get to
know you better.

You would? Yeah.

All I know is that you're
into computers, right?

You got it.

You're probably
some major hacker.

Yeah, I guess so.

Did you ever fantasize
about breaking into some

big company's computer system?

Something like that.

Every hacker does.

You know, I hear
they keep the grades

in this school on a computer.

Yeah.

It's an IBM ES 9000

with a string of PS2's on line.

You really do know your stuff.

Can you imagine
what it'd be like

to break into that bad boy?

You could give yourself
any grade you wanted.

But you probably couldn't

pull off something that big.

I, I could if I wanted to.

Yeah, right.

Hey, the only
thing I need to know

is what the right password is,

and everything else
is a piece of cake. Oh...

like someone's gonna tell
you what the password is.

There are ways of
finding out what it is.

Oh, so it sounds
intriguing, doesn't it?

It sounds kind of crazy.

But you could do it, right?

Yeah.

Except this set-up
is a closed system.

The only way to gain access is

through an active file server.

What is that?

Oh, it means if you wanted
to break into the computer,

first you'd have to
break into the school.

Well, what would you do

if I told you I had
that end covered?

You're serious, aren't you?

Well, that's true,

but if you take a quarter
page for a full month,

we can give you a
break on the cost.

Absolutely.

Right.

All right, this one's done.

Uh, could you hold on a
second, Mrs. Taffet? Thanks.

So how's it look? Well, it's
not gonna win any Pulitzer,

but it's not bad for a freshman.

Listen, uh, I've got a
history mid-term tomorrow,

mind if I cut out of here? Yeah,

go ahead.

As soon as I
convince Mrs. Taffet

to buy some ad space,

I'm going home,
too. You want a lift?

No, I think I'll walk.

Thanks, though.

Cool. See you tomorrow, Chief.

Bye.

Andrea?

Brandon.

Hi.

Are you okay?

Mmm.

You just missed my parents.

What's all this?

Two broken legs.

Oh, wow.

I'm really sorry.

What happened?

I was walking home from school,

thinking how great my life is.

Then, all of a sudden...

all I remember is...

this car coming straight at me.

They didn't even stop.

They just left me lying there.

What do the police think?

I'm lucky to be alive.

Hey, listen,

anything you need,
you know I'm here, right?

Thanks.

Okay.

You want to stay awhile?

As long as you want.

Come on, Herbert,
kids have been using

this key since the
'60s... It's not a big deal.

It's a tradition around here.

I don't need to change
my grades, Steve.

I get straight A's. So this
is what I get for helping you

when you needed me, huh?

Getting my books
back from some bullies

isn't exactly the same
thing as breaking the law.

Oh. Well, how about
breaking out of your wimp mold

for a change, Herbert?

Besides, if you do this,

you'll be the heir
to the legacy key.

Well, that's just
the greatest gift

anybody can give to
their freshman buddy.

I don't know, Steve.

Where is your sense of loyalty?

Where's your sense
of adventure, man?

Come on, this is
the ultimate score

for a computer hacker.

You are a hacker, aren't you?

Oh, hi. I'm calling from the Computer
Network Maintenance Corporation.

I spoke to someone

over at the Board of Education,

and they said I should
check with the main office.

You see, we're running
a hardware-software

interface check on
your IBM ES 9000

and, well, I need to
know your passwords

so we can verify
their security status.

We're on hold.

How'd I do?

Oh, you're a
regular techno-nerd.

Yes. Yes, I'm ready.

Thank you.

We got 'em.

Oh, piece of cake.

Hi. Hi. I just heard
about Andrea.

Is she gonna be okay?

Oh, yeah, she'll be
back at school next week,

but, uh, she won't be
walking around for a while.

Good. Um, listen, I-I
know this is bad timing,

but my aunt works
at William Morris,

and she just gave
me four tickets

to this live cable AIDS benefit
hosted by Rosie O'Donnell.

Really? Yeah. But it's tonight.

So if you don't want
to go, I understand.

Well, now, I don't think Andrea

would want us to miss out
on an opportunity like this.

Great. Then it's the four of us?

Sure. Sounds great.

Thank you.

I better drive... David
doesn't have his license yet.

Yes, I do.

My, my, my, young David,

how time flies.

Oh, hi, Dylan. Come on in.

Brenda!

Dylan's here!

Rick, I must go. Um...

Okay, I will see you
tomorrow at 1:00.

Hey, Bren.

Is your Dad home?
I called his office,

and they said he
went home early today.

Yeah. He and my mom
are gonna go play golf.

What's up? Well,

my SAT scores came...
I got a little problem.

What's wrong, didn't you
do well? No, I did too well.

They think I cheated... the SAT
people aren't gonna allow my score.

What? They say the
only reason I took it

at West Lompoc High was so I
could pay someone to take it for me.

But you were visiting
your father at Lompoc.

Yeah. Tell it to the judge.

Well, to tell you the truth,

Dylan, I can understand why
the red flag was raised here.

Your scores went
up over 300 points.

You're kidding? No, Bren.

The last time I took
the test, I left early,

because you were
in the hospital.

Well, can't we just
explain that to them?

We can try.

I'm sure there's
an appeal process.

Of course,

there is another alternative.

It would mean a
lot less red tape.

What is it?

Take the test again.

Absolutely not.

Dylan... No way,
Bren... I did not cheat.

I took the test myself.

I'm sure you did,

and I understand, I
know how you feel.

But sometimes it's wise

to identify the shortest
route between two places.

Not this time.

I did not cheat.

They're not gonna
get away with it.

I honestly didn't think

the balloons would
fit in the elevator.

You should have seen them
in the car driving down Wilshire.

Oh, you guys are so
sweet... Kelly came over,

Steve called, and Brenda
and Dylan are on their way.

Can we sign your cast? I
brought markers for everyone.

Oh, absolutely.
Pick a leg, any leg.

Cool.

But be careful.

This isn't gonna hurt, is it?

I hope not.

Hey, you guys better hurry,
or you'll be late for your show.

Make sure you watch...
You know, you just might

see us there. Oh.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Rosie O'Donnell!

Thank you.

It's great to be here.

Unfortunately, we've only
come a few steps down the road

in this battle against AIDS,

but with the support
of people like you,

a benefit like this won't be
necessary next year, hopefully.

In these confusing times,

there is one thing
that is certain...

People are gonna
continue to have sex.

Did you know that,
uh, 70% of all teenagers

are sexually active by the
time they graduate high school?

Lord knows I was.

That got me thinking
back to the first time that

I did it, and I was thinking
about sharing that story

with you guys, and
then I realized, you know,

my parents are watching.

So..

I figure I couldn't do that.

70%, though, that's a
pretty... pretty high number,

and I figured since
I can't, you know,

share with you, I thought
maybe you would want

to share your
first time with me.

What do you think? Yeah?

So, are you two in
high school? Yeah. Yes.

Yeah? Are you going out?

Yeah. Yes.

Is this a long-term
thing or what?

We just started dating...

It's been a couple of months.

Really? Yeah.

So, are you doing it?

You don't remember?

Come on, you can
share it with me.

Just you, me and 15
million people here.

So have you?

Uh, uh, yeah, I have.

And you?

Yeah, I have. You have.

Just not with each other. Yet.

Right? Call me Kreskin.

Go ahead, talk to yourselves.

How are you doing?

Good. Good. Are you part

of the 70%?

No. I'm the other number.

Really? And does
your boyfriend know

you're still a virgin?

Yeah. I know all about it.

I'll bet you do.

So you're gonna wait?

Yeah. I guess I was
just brought up that way.

Well, when you get home,
I want you to tell your mom

that I think she did a
real good job raising you.

And don't let him
pressure you, either,

'cause it's okay to wait.

For all of you who
are having sex,

please be careful and
every time use a condom.

All right.

You ready?

Yeah.

I'm sorry I'm taking you
home so early, babe.

I'm just... I'm really beat.

Oh, it's fine.

I still can't believe
those guys actually

got interviewed
by Rosie O'Donnell.

Yeah, I can't believe
they talked about

their sex lives on national TV.

Yeah, it is pretty weird.

Um, listen, Dylan, I still can't

stop thinking about the deal
with those testing people.

Bren, would you just
give it a rest, okay?

I don't want to talk about it.

I just don't know why you won't
consider taking the test again.

Do you believe me?

I mean, do you believe me, Bren?

Of course I do.

You've never lied to me, Dylan.

And I've always respected
and loved you for that.

In fact, when I got back
from France the reason why

I told you that I met that guy

was because you've
always been honest with me.

Brenda, that's not
necessarily true.

What?

While you were gone this summer,

there was a girl...

I'm sorry.

How could you?

Wait a minute.

Weren't we just talking about
your little French fling, Bren.

I think you know

exactly how things
like this happen.

I told you about that
when it happened,

you could've told
me about this, Dylan.

It was being called a liar.

I mean, it made me see
what a hypocrite I can be.

I just couldn't live with it.

Well, I'm glad you got

your guilty conscience
all cleaned up.

Brenda...

I am sorry.

Who was she, Dylan?

Was it that girl Stacy again?

No. Then who?

"Who" is not important, is it?

I don't know, you tell me.

No, it's not.

Forget about it, spare
me all the details.

Just take me home, all right?

Brenda, I... I needed
to tell you the truth.

Well, you did.

I am very impressed
with your integrity.

Now take me home.

Donna, let me spend the night.

How often are both
your parents out of town?

No.

We don't have to do anything.

We can just sleep together.

Yeah, right.

I mean it.

I love you.

Come on, please let me stay?

Only if you go to sleep.

Go on, close your eyes.

You can't go in there.

Why not?

Because you're
just a little girl.

I saved you a seat, Donna.

Thank you.

Just remember, children,

as you celebrate
your first communion,

your lives ahead will be filled
with many difficult choices.

But never forget,

no matter what you do,

God will always love you.

Even me, Father Chris?

Yes, Donna, even you.

Even if I sleep with my
boyfriend before I get married?

Yes, Donna.

No matter what, God
will always love you.

But your mother and father
will be very disappointed.

Very disappointed.

David, you have to go home.

What?

Okay, Mom,

how do I look?

Terrific, but what's
all the fuss about?

That's Rick.

Oh, I can't wait.

Oh, Mom... just play along.

Okay? Honey, I don't know.

I mean, what if Dylan finds out?

It'll do him some good.

What?

Look, Mom, after today,

I'm never gonna
see Rick again, okay?

So just, please?

Shouldn't you be
saying, s'il vous plait?

Bonjour.

You look every bit as
beautiful as I remember you.

You just saw me two days ago.

The longest two days of my life.

Merci. Now where
are you taking me?

Don't I get to meet
your family first?

Oh, they are not home...

So, this is the famous Rick?

Aunt Cindy, I did not
realize you were home.

It's a pleasure to meet
you ma'am. And you.

Your niece has told me
an awful lot about you.

Oh, she has?

I promise to have her

home in time for dinner.

I know you'll
probably want to get

a good night's sleep
before your flight tomorrow.

Oh, oui.

So... where are you off to?

Uh...

I am not so hungry, Rick.

Perhaps we can come
back some other time.

Brenda, wait, all the guys

in my fraternity
swear by this place.

They got this thing
called a Megaburger

that's supposed
to be incredible.

I don't think so.

Oh, come on, I'm starving.

Oh, there is a
table in the corner.

A table? No, forget it.

In America, you have
to sit at the counter.

Of course.

Excuse me, waiter.

Yeah, one minute, buddy.

Here you go, Willy.

Oh, hey, Bren.

You know this guy?

Uh, oui.

This is my cousin.

Yeah, that's right,

I'm Aunt Cindy
and Uncle Jim's son.

Oui. Brandon, this is Rick.

How ya doin', Rick?

Good. Why didn't
you say anything?

I mean, you acted like

you didn't even know
where this place was.

She didn't tell me
you worked here.

Yeah, it's a family thing.

Hi, Bren. Who's your friend?

Ah, bonjour, Monsieur Nat.

This is Rick.

Hi, Rick.

Nat, you remember my cousin,

Brenda, from France, Eiffel
Tower... France, oh, yeah...

France, sure, oh, yeah.

You know what,

I cannot take this anymore.

Look, I am not Brenda
Dubois and I am not from Paris.

My name is Brenda Walsh.

I was born in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I go to West Beverly High School

and I'm just as
American as you are,

so I'm sorry.

My sister's always
had a flare for drama.

Your sister?

Twin sister.

Excuse me, would ya?

Look, um, Rick, I'm sorry.

I can't believe it
got so out of hand.

I really wanted to
tell you the truth,

but I thought that
you would hate me.

♪ I said, "Baby,
don't you see? ♪

♪ "We fit so perfectly" ♪

♪ You said we'd be
together for all time ♪

Does this mean
you don't hate me?

Look, I liked Brenda DuBois,

but I could fall in love
with Brenda Walsh.

♪ I'll do anything
to keep you mine. ♪

Donna!

Hi, Father Chris.

Am I catching you at a bad time?

No, not at all.

Here, sit down.

It's good to see you here again.

You know, I can remember

when you took your
first communion.

Yeah, it's good to be back.

You must really be
struggling with something.

How'd you know?

You're here, aren't you?

You know that boy
that I introduced you to

at the video store
the other day?

Uh-huh, David, right?

Yeah.

Well, he's very special.

And we've been going
out for a while now,

like, a year.

And I really like him.

He seems like a
very nice young man.

He is.

And I'm really, really
attracted to him,

you know?

Mm-hmm.

And I, I just don't
know what to do about,

you know... sex.

What does your
heart tell you to do?

Well, it's not my heart
that I'm worried about.

The love you choose

to give to another is
your most precious gift.

That includes your sexuality.

Your virginity is a gift, Donna.

So you've got to ask yourself

if David's the one
you want to give it to.

I love him and he loves me.

I do know that.

Well, that's wonderful.

That just makes this decision
that much harder for you,

doesn't it?

In that case, why
don't you pray on it

for a while?

And just remember...

no matter what you do,
God will always love you.

You said the same thing
to me when I was a little girl.

They're words to live by.

You know, it's a lot easier

talking to you without
that stupid accent.

Brenda...

I loved zat accent.

I really did.

Can, can I see you again?

Can I see you tomorrow?

I don't know.

Brenda, please...

finding you again
was like a gift.

Don't take it away.

Look, I have a boyfriend, Rick.

You told me that in Paris.

It didn't stop you then.

I was a thousand
miles away from home.

I was pretending to
be somebody else.

I can't pretend anymore.

Then don't pretend
that there isn't something

powerful between us.

I don't want to
lose you, Brenda.

Not a second time.

I have to go.

You're seeing him
again, aren't you?

You're seeing him tonight.

Yes.

Brenda, I wasn't kidding
when I said this was kismet.

Think about it.

What are the odds of two people

finding each other
again like we did?

So if you're gonna try
and buck odds like that,

just make sure this
other guy is worth it.

You talked to a priest about us?

That's what they're there for.

First Rosie O'Donnell,
now a priest.

The whole world
knows about our sex life.

Listen, David, I've been
thinking a lot about it.

And?

And I think we should wait
till we're out of high school.

And then, if
we're still together,

we can talk about it again.

So that's it?

You made up your mind?

If you can't accept
it, I won't be happy.

In fact, I'll be miserable.

But I'll understand.

Look, Donna, I'm
not going anywhere.

Not only do I love
you, I like you a lot.

I like everything about you.

Well, then, you can stand it
if we just do a lot of kissing

and messing around

and we don't go all the way?

Well, what would
Father Chris say?

Father Chris doesn't
make the rules.

Then who does?

We do.

So, uh...

think you can handle it?

If you can, I can.

Oh, I can.

Hey.

Hey.

Glad to see you're sitting up.

How're you doing?

Depressed,
uncomfortable, helpless.

Aside from that, just peachy.

Well, you look a lot better.

Thank you.

The police were just here again.

They having any luck?

No.

And the longer they
go without a suspect,

the worse their chances
are of catching anyone.

That must be pretty tough.

Yeah, it's the worst part
about this whole thing.

Without a license plate number,

all I can tell them is that it
was a big, silver, loud car.

Not much of an I.D., huh?

Check out my new wheels.

A wheelchair? Yep.

They couldn't, uh, get you
any crutches or anything?

Nope, doctor's orders.

I gotta stay off my
legs for a whole month.

Well it shouldn't be too bad.

You've got a lot of friends.

Don't worry. We'll
take care of you.

Yeah, you know how
great I am asking for help.

Well, it looks like you don't
have much choice now, do you?

How much longer
is this going to take?

I don't know, Bren, the whole
damn thing is just ridiculous.

Look, instead of
drafting angry letters

to the testing service,

why don't you just
take the test over?

Hey, have we been through this?

When are you gonna
quit harping on me?

I'm not harping on anything.

I don't understand why
everything is a battle with you.

What have you got
to be so angry about?

Hey, let's see what you would do

if you were falsely
accused of something, okay?

I know one thing.

I'd be a hell of a lot more
realistic than you're being.

Brenda, if you're not going
to get behind me on this thing,

why don't you just
leave me alone?

Fine. I will leave you alone.

Good.

Because this isn't
about the S.A.T., Dylan.

And we should stop
pretending that it is.

What does that mean?

Dylan, do you realize that
we've both told each other

that our little flings
don't mean anything?

Well, they do mean something.

And it's about time

we both faced up
to that. I know, Bren.

That's why I told you about
what happened this summer.

Oh, come off it.

You told me because
you felt guilty.

Well, so do I.

Look, the guy I met in Paris
showed up in LA this week

and I went out with
him this afternoon.

Dylan, I love you, but we need
a rest, for both of our sakes.

Are you sure, Bren?

Are you sure about
what you're saying?

You'd better mean it,
because I'm not gonna try

and stop you this time.

Dylan, will you sit down?

I'm not sure about anything.

But we can't go on like this.

So where do we go from here?

Wherever we want, I guess.

You mean that?

Yeah, I do.

So this is it, then.

Dylan, don't hate me.

I could never hate you, Bren.

You better go.

I better go.

Yes.

Okay, we're in. The
password works.

Great.

Here it is, grade bank files.

Last name first.

Sanders.

S-A-N-D-E-R-S.

First name, middle initial.

Steven.

S-T-E-V-E-N.

Middle initial M.

Here it is.

Wow.

These are the worst
grades I've ever seen.

You got a D in ninth grade math?

That's addition and subtraction.

And too much long division.

What do you want instead?

B.

Done.

Ah, I see we failed
freshman social studies.

Not for long.

C okay?

B.

What's wrong?

Just shut up, all right?

I'm locked out.

What do you mean?

I don't know. The
system could be crashing.

There could be an
alarm on the password.

Well, what do we do?

Just hold on a second.

Let me try something first.

What's going on here, man.

I don't know.

But we better get
the hell out of here.

What are you doing now?

"Sponging."

I learned it from a video.

What do you think?
The green or the blue?

Blue.

Blue? Mm-hmm.

I don't know if I
can live with blue.

Well, the green's nice.

Is it too nice?

Kelly, what is
going on with you?

Are you planning to spend a
lot of time in your room this year?

That doesn't sound like you.

I don't know, Mom.

I'm just going through
some changes.

Well, honey, there's change
and then there's change.

You're right, the
green's not that bad.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Bren. What's up?

Dylan and I broke up.

Hang on. Mom...
can we talk tomorrow?

Sure, honey.

Brenda, what happened.

I don't know.

Things just came
to a head, I guess.

Dylan finally told me he went
out with someone this summer.

He did?

Well, I always knew

there was something going on.

It was written
all over his face.

Who was it?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Look, we were both
fooling around, anyway.

There must have been a reason.

I thought you guys
would be together forever.

Yeah, me, too.

I hope I did the right thing.

Brenda, are you sure
you're not doing this

just because, you know,

Rick's waiting in the
wings? Of course not.

Look, if Dylan
and I stay together,

we'll continue to
drive each other crazy,

and hurt each other.

I don't want that.

I hope things work out for you.

It's just so weird

thinking of you and
Dylan apart, you know.

I don't really know what to say.

I'm on the phone, David!

I didn't mean to scare you.

Brenda, I've got to go.

What's the matter?

Uh, David just walked in.

I can't talk.

All right, well, call me back.

Bye.

How'd you get in?

I didn't hear the doorbell.

I knocked.

I didn't want to wake the baby.

So, your mom let me in.

Oh.

What are you doing here?

Helping you paint?

Yeah, right.

Try again.

Well, Brenda thinks
that, uh, we should start

seeing other people.

So she said.

What do you think?

I think it's time I
started seeing you.
