Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 14 - Wild Horses - full transcript

Are these guys ever
going to give up?

The police are just
spinning their wheels.

There's no way they're gonna
figure out who hit that computer

just like they're not gonna
figure out who hit me.

You don't think so?

Come on. The big interrogation

of the computer
class was a total bust.

And me trying to track
down a legacy key



that probably didn't even exist.

Mm, a legacy key?

Sounds very James Bond.

There's supposed
to be a master key

that's been passed
down through the decades,

but since all the locks have
been changed this year,

there goes that theory.

Oh, well.

Easy come, easy go, right?

I didn't expect Dylan
to send me a postcard.

After all, we did not break up

on the best of terms,

but nobody's heard anything
from him in three days.

Well, he did seem
ready to explode



when he stormed out of here.

Yeah, and when
Dylan gets like that,

his first impulse is to
go straight for the bottle.

So are you still up

for going to David's
showcase tonight?

I think it might take
your mind off everything.

Is Kelly going?

You know, Bren,
Dylan or no Dylan,

I think you two are
acting very juvenile.

Donna, if Kelly's going,

wild horses couldn't
drag me there.

Damn.

Nice car.

Nice horse.

Borrowed or stolen?

Doesn't really matter.

I mean, it's not going
anywhere either way.

Is there a phone
around here somewhere?

There's one back at the ranch.

I'm Anne.

I'm Dylan.

Climb on up.

Didn't I tell you not to worry?

Didn't I tell you

this whole thing
would blow over?

Well, why are
the cops still here?

It's a dog-and-pony show.

We are home free, okay?

Just like your good old
senior buddy promised.

Thank God.

This has been the
worst week of my life.

I'll talk to you later.

Andrea told me the whole
legacy key thing's a dead issue.

Big surprise.

Well, the only thing
surprising to me

is how I got a foot that
big into a mouth this small.

Brandon, if you're
trying to apologize

for calling me
a liar and a thief,

don't you think you
could grovel a little more?

Don't press

your luck, pal.

Hey, stranger.

Hey, Nikki, when are
you gonna dump this bum

and get a real man?

Oh, is Mel Gibson available?

See why I like this girl?

Hey, guys.

David, Brandon
and I are gonna be

at the showcase tonight.

Yeah, so you better not choke.

Gee, thanks for the
vote of confidence.

You're bigger than huge, babe.

Hey, back at you, babe.

Sanders, I just
called the promoter

to find out what time

we have to be in for sound check

and they hadn't even heard

of David Silver and
The Commotions.

Would you relax and let
me handle your career?

When you called these guys,

did you identify
yourself as a member

of the Sanders Management Team?

Are you jerking me around here?

You wanna stand here while I
call them and straighten it out?

Just take care of it, okay?

I will. Trust me.

Hi. I'm Steve Sanders from
the Sanders Management Team.

Look, I know I'm
calling kind of late,

but is there any way I
can book one of my acts

into your showcase tonight?

How much is this
gonna set me back?

No, no, listen, I don't
need you to install it. I...

Okay, If that's the best you
can do, I'll see you tomorrow.

He doesn't sound
very accommodating.

Well, he's not.

He told me ten times
that he only stocks parts

for American cars.

Welcome to the sticks.

Is there someplace I
could stay around here?

There's a motel down the road.

Or you could, uh,
stay in the guest house.

You sure that wouldn't
be any trouble?

I don't think the cook or
the ranch hands would mind,

so if you want permission
from the owner, you just got it.

Okay.

There are a lot of heavyweights

from the music biz here tonight.

How can you tell?

They're the short bald
guys with sunglasses.

No, this is really
an industry crowd.

The business is always
looking for new talent.

God, David must be so excited!

That's just great. You
didn't tell me we'd be up first.

We didn't even get
a sound check yet!

David, it's a dirty
business, all right?

Look, I had to pay
through the nose

to get you on the
bill to begin with.

Just be glad you're here.

Yeah, well, that's more than
I can say for my equipment.

It's not even set up right!

It's gonna happen, all right?!

Wasn't this gig supposed
to start like half an hour ago?

You know Hollywood.
Everything's fashionably late.

I know it's probably
not a good time,

but have you heard from Dylan?

No, not since he split.

I'm worried about him.

Yeah, me, too.

I'm also worried
about you and Bren.

There's nothing to worry about.

We decided that if we
never talk to each other again,

it'll be too soon.

That's funny. That's
exactly what she said.

Really? What else did she say?

Kel...

you know I love
you like a sister,

but I also love my
sister like a sister.

That's okay.

I won't hold it against you.

Are you ready to
have some fun, huh?

All right, let's get
things underway.

Right now we're gonna
bring on our first act.

Please welcome David
Silver and The Commotions!

Cream or sugar?

Black.

Ooh, hard-core.

So, you all alone
here at the Ponderosa?

No, I'm not married,

if that's what you're
asking, Dylan.

That's not what I'm asking.

What are you asking?

I just thought you might
get a little lonely out here.

I like the quiet.

Where are you from?

Why?

I'm just curious.

Sorry.

How old are you anyway?

Why?

Two points for the guy
with the "borrowed" car.

You think I stole that car?

I don't know.

Well, then what exactly
is your take on me,

Ms. Beresford?

I think you're misunderstood...

unappreciated.

A little bored.

A little angry.

Like me, you don't like
being told what to do.

Good read.

I'm very literate, Dylan.

And I'll bet

whatever you left
back there deserved

to be left back there.

You knew it was time to get out

and taste what
you want from life.

Which is?

Freedom...

the one thing money can buy.

Well, at least he looked good.

Are you sure they weren't
making those noises on purpose?

I mean, what's, what's
that thing they do?

Sampling?

No, I've been
around enough bands

to know that nobody
samples feedback.

So, uh, what do we tell him
when he gets back to the table?

I think we should
tell him the truth.

I mean, we're not
helping David as an artist

by letting him think this
was one of his better efforts.

I'm never gonna
forgive you for this!

Or we could lie
through our teeth.

David, it's not my fault

they put you on first!

It was the pits.

No, it wasn't.

That's solid.

Definitely. Killer song, bro.

Yeah, you were great.

You see.

Look, an artist is
always his toughest critic.

Listen, I love you guys, okay,

but you've gotta be
the worst group of liars

I've ever met in my entire life.

David,

you're overreacting.

Oh, yeah?

Well, read my
lips. You're fired.

So, you help me out

right now, in welcoming
from San Francisco,

California,

Diesel Stone and the
Waste Management!

I don't believe it.

I think she used to date

the keyboard player.

I thought you'd
fallen off the planet.

I haven't.

Did you hear the new song?

"Different Eyes"?

Loved it.

I wrote that song
for you, Nikki.

And having you out there
when we were doing it...

was incredible.

Seeing you now,

I can't believe it.

So listen,

we're gonna be
hanging out at this dump

a little later.

It'd mean a lot if
you'd go there with me.

I can't, uh, not tonight...
But if you tell me

where it is, I'll
drop by tomorrow.

It's only tonight, baby.

Tomorrow it's adios, La-La Land.

Dennis... Shh.

Don't let anyone
hear you call me that.

It'll ruin my image.

Come on, Nikki, please?

I can't. It's a school
night. School night?

I haven't seen
you in six months.

I'm here with my boyfriend.

Oh.

Brandon?

The Beav.

Brandon, uh, I want
you to meet Diesel Stone.

You guys were the
best band out there, man.

That's not saying
a whole hell of a lot.

Everyone else was
auditioning for amateur hour.

Did you see that
Vanilla Ice rip-off?

Couldn't even get his
mike to work. What a joke.

That joke happens to
be a close friend of ours.

Eh, don't take it
personally, man.

He's young... he's
bound to get better...

someday with practice...

maybe. All right, Axl.

Axl Rose is a sell-out.

I'll see you, Nikki.

Wait a minute.

That loser was your boyfriend?

He's not a loser.

You don't know the music
biz. It's very competitive.

You're right, I don't. Can we
leave now? Actually, the band's

having a party that
they've invited us to.

Well, we told everybody we'd
meet them at The Peach Pit.

We always go to The Peach Pit.

Come on, these guys
used to be my best buddies.

Nikki, don't you think David
could use the company

of his best buddies
right about now?

Fine, let's go to The Peach Pit.

Hey, no one's holding a
gun to your head, Nikki.

If you'd rather stay
here with Weasel

and his little bunch of cronies,
go right ahead. His name is Diesel.

I really don't give a rat's
ass what his name is!

I just want to know one thing:

who are you gonna be
with tonight: him or me?

He is only gonna
be here one night!

Bye, Nikki. Brandon!

Brandon!

♪ And cover up my ears ♪

♪ I won't be wasting my
best years, years, years ♪

♪ Years, years... ♪

Well, what was I
supposed to do, Bren?

I mean, clearly, Nikki
is still into this guy.

I wasn't about to hang around

for the privilege
of being humiliated.

Brandon, wouldn't it have been
easier to put in an appearance

for 15 minutes than to
make such a big deal out of it?

Yeah, but that whole rock star,

"I want to be a rock
star" groupie scene,

it's, it's weak.

You know, Brandon, when you're
jealous, you're so judgmental.

And look who's talking.

Need I remind
you that last night,

you couldn't bring yourself
to be within a five-mile radius

of a certain Miss Kelly Taylor?

One thing has nothing
to do with the other.

Besides, I have no desire
to spend my free time

with a lying, conniving
you-know-what.

And I'm being judgmental.

No, Brandon,

you're being petty over some guy

that Nikki went out
with in another lifetime.

You're her boyfriend, Brandon.

And if you want to keep it
that way, I suggest you call her

and apologize for
walking out on her.

I hate it when you're
morally superior.

Hi, Mrs. Weinstein, yeah.

Is, uh, is Nikki there?

Oh, really?

Well, I'll try her over
there. Thank you very much.

Let me tell you how it is.

It seems Nikki

didn't come home last night.

She called her aunt and told her

she'd be spending
the night at Donna's.

Isn't that nice?

Well, if he wasn't
such a great jumper,

he'd be great to rope off of.

How do you know about horses?

Well, I used to ride
some when I was a kid.

Yesterday, you acted like
you've never been on one before.

So, maybe I'm not such
an easy read after all.

I'm gonna take you out
for a ride after breakfast

so I can get to know you better.

I think I should be here
when the mechanic comes.

You could ride Shadowcaster.

He's my favorite horse.

He won the Oaks
Classic last month.

So why do I get
special treatment?

I'm not doing it for
you. I'm doing it for him.

Right.

No. I'm serious.

Horses get bored if
they're always ridden

by the same person.

Good morning, West Beverly.

Before we start
off the music today,

I'd like to thank everyone
who rooted for me last night

on getting a record deal.

However, because of
my inept former manager,

who will remain nameless...

Steve Sanders,
that's S-A-N-D-E-R-S...

It appears I will
be your morning DJ

for the rest of my life.

So long, Steve-o.

Well, not too bitter.

Well, at least he hasn't
lost his sense of humor.

You're the one who's
lost your sense of humor.

This avoidance thing with
Brenda is really getting ridiculous.

Tell it to her.

She's the one who
drove Dylan out of here.

You want to open up?

Do I know you?

You don't have to embarrass
me in front of the whole school.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

What's the matter, Hutch?

Now that this
investigation is almost over,

you want to squeeze one
more payment out of me?

You don't have enough
money to buy your way

out of this one, son.

Buy my way out of what?

I know for a fact the
cops don't have any clues.

Yeah, but what they
do have is a janitor

with one more year on
his pension and set of keys

that opens up every
door to this building.

Are they accusing you of
masterminding this break-in?

Son, they grilled me
for three hours yesterday

over a lot more than
your piddly little break-in.

Now, tomorrow, we
go another round,

and I got to give
them something,

and I'm afraid
it's gonna be you.

Hey, you can't do that.

Sorry, son, I got a lot to lose.

Hey, man, I paid you!

Well, money can't buy
you everything, now, can it?

Brandon!

Brandon, wait!

I want to talk to you about
what happened last night.

There's really not to
much to say, is there, Nikki?

You're basically a groupie,
and that's just the way it is.

Is that what you think of me?

Well, tell me what
I'm supposed to think,

especially after I called to
apologize to you this morning

and I find out that you
spent the night at Donna's.

Will you please let me
tell you what happened.

I'm listening.

By the time I got to the house,

everyone was partying hard,

and I had a couple
of shots of tequila

and I passed out on
the bathroom floor.

Uh-huh, and was that before
or after you made it with him?

Diesel is not my
boyfriend anymore.

I thought you were.

Yeah, I thought I was too.

And all of a sudden we get
around the band last night

and I become invisible.

That's not true.

That's exactly what
happened, Nikki.

And when you finally
deemed me worthy

to meet your little pal,

you didn't bat an eye

when he started
dumping all over David.

I told you, musicians
are very competitive.

Yes, and they're also
very full of themselves.

Nikki, Weasel is a loser.

I don't get what you see in him.

When I get around him, he has
this thing over me, you know?

No, I don't know.

I just can't deal
with this right now.

I'm sorry, Brandon.

Yeah, me, too.

Well, you were right.

The countryside's spectacular.

I wouldn't lie to you.

Ha. Yeah.

You would, if you had to.

I happen to be the most
brutally honest person

you'll ever meet.

Until the conversation
turns to you.

At which point, you
become brutally vague.

So, what do you want
to know about me?

What do you want to tell me?

I got tossed out of
boarding school...

for sleeping with
the headmaster.

My parents decided the
only way I'd survive to 19

was to marry someone with a...

with a trust fund
bigger than mine.

When you have real money,
it's hard to trust anybody,

especially the people
you think you should love.

What do you want from me, Anne?

Stay with me at
the ranch for a while.

You can work Shadowcaster.

I'll pay you whatever
you think's fair.

I'm tempted.

No pressure,

no strings, for either of us.

I'm sorry I didn't join you
guys at the Peach Pit last night.

It's just that I hadn't
seen Diesel and the band

since I left San Francisco.

Was David really bummed?

More like suicidal.

I'm sorry I didn't make it.

I really planned
to be there for him.

It's okay. I understand.

And I'm sure David does too.

Too bad Brandon's not as
understanding as you are.

Diesel, what are you doing here?

Is that any way to greet
the next Eddie Van Halen?

What are you talking about?

We clinched it, babe!

Waste Management
got itself a record deal.

Diesel, that's great!

Diesel, um, this is Donna.

She was at the
showcase last night.

How ya doin'?

Congratulations.

So, there's a
celebration going on.

I need my sweet little
inspiration right by my side.

Um, I can't. I've got a
history test fifth period.

Maybe you didn't hear me,

but I drove straight here
after signing on the dotted line.

I'll tell you what.

I'll come by right after school.

And if I know you, the
party will still be happening.

Will you excuse us a sec?

Sure.

Baby, what's wrong with you?

I finally get my big break

and you're, like, talking
about history tests?

I am, but... Well, then come on.

Get in the car. Dennis, please.

Come on! Hey, hey!

Is everything all right here?

Get lost, chump.

Am I talking to you, son?

Well, I'm talking
to you! Disappear!

Is everything all right, Nikki?

I'm fine, Brandon.

You sure?

I said I'm okay.

I can handle this.

Just please stay out of it.

Fine. I'm out of it.

Stay out of it, Brandy.

You left me for that geek?

You know why I
left you. Don't...

Just get in the car.

You've been drinking
all morning, haven't you?

Just get in the car, Nikki! Man!

Yeah, yeah, what
a senior year, huh?

Scorned by our lovers,
abandoned by our best friends.

It's a regular Elizabethan
tragedy around this place.

What is going on, Brandon?

I mean, it's like everybody
has something to hide.

I don't know who
to trust anymore.

I thought I had
everything with Dylan.

I don't even know where
he is. Wait a minute.

I thought we were talking
about my problem here.

Sorry. Right, like I was saying,

I give Nikki the
benefit of the doubt,

now she's going around
acting like I'm the bad guy.

Brandon, do you think
that she was lying to you

about passing out from too much
tequila last night? I don't know, Bren,

and at this point and
time, I really don't care.

You know, at least
we have each other.

That we do, little sister.

That we do. Chin, chin.

Oh, chow, chow.

Hi, Bren.

Hi, Donna.

Why, hello, Kelly.

Hey, Bren.

Donna, we're gonna
be late for art class.

Don't let me hold you up.

Bye, Donna.

You know, this is
really getting obnoxious.

Yeah, it is.

How'd you like Shadowcaster?

He rides better than this car.

He's worth more than this car.

I don't know about that
man. This thing's a classic.

The horse you
were on: priceless.

You told me you were
a top-flight mechanic.

You've been working
on this car for hours.

Well, I'm very thorough.

Uh-huh. I have some
neighbors coming over for dinner.

I want you to join us.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I had Raymond
put out a shirt for you.

This isn't the proper fashion
statement for your neighbors?

Suit yourself.

Anne.

I'll wear whatever you want.

No big deal.

Herby, I was just
thinking about you.

Yeah, what's going on?

Well, it seems we have
ourselves a little situation.

Situation?

You want me to what?

Yeah, I know this sounds insane,

but let me put this
in perspective, okay?

Look, I'm a senior.
You are a freshman.

If you take the rap for me,

they'll figure you're immature,

you're misguided.

You are rehabilitatible.

But me, I'm a senior.

If I get busted, I get expelled.

Boom, my life is over.

So, you... you want
me to be the fall guy.

Is that it?

Look...

I know this break-in thing

didn't go exactly
as we had planned.

I'm not blaming
anybody for that.

These things happen.

But you know I wouldn't
ask you to help me out

of this mess unless it was
really, really important to me.

Herbert, if you do this,
I'll be eternally grateful.

You know, during my
freshman orientation,

when I signed up
for a senior buddy...

I could've never
imagined I'd be paired up

with as disgusting a
human being as you are.

You're a cheater,
a liar, a screw-up...

and you're so conceited,

you think you can buy your way
out of anything or use anyone,

as long as it's good
for Steve Sanders.

And the truth is...

I don't know how you
can stand being you.

I'll tell you what you have
to do with people like that.

Somebody's gotta tell
them, it's work or no pay,

and if they don't like it,

they can go back
where they came from.

I prefer your idea of
indentured servitude.

Would you two stop?

Dylan and I are getting bored.

Are you sure you
don't want a taste?

'85 was a very good year.

Dylan was probably
in Little League

in '85.

Actually, Dylan was
stealing cars in '85.

A self-made man.

How unusual.

Oh, believe me,
Dylan is very unusual.

I think that horse of
yours is very unusual.

I told you Shadowcaster
is not for sale.

Not even for $600,000?

Keenan, the last thing we
need is another show jumper.

That is beside the point.

I like that horse.

Too bad, 'cause I'm
never going to sell him.

Never is such a finite term.

$700,000.

What should I do, Dylan?

How much do you think
Shadowcaster is worth?

You've ridden him.

I thought he wasn't for sale.

Everything is for sale, kid.

One million dollars, cash.

It's take it or leave it time.

Don't do it, Anne.

One million four.

Million two. Anne!
Million three.

Done.

Congratulations, Keenan.

You just bought
yourself a champ.

Everything is for sale, kid.

Here you go, Bren.

Why is it customers always
call us on the pay phone?

I'll get back to
you on that one...

Hi, Donna. Hi, Kel.

Where is everybody?

Uh, Brandon went
to answer the phone,

and David's in the
little boy's room.

Oh, and you do remember
Brenda Walsh here.

Remember she used
to be your best friend?

Well, we all have
our crosses to bear.

Or our legs to uncross.

See ya later.

Hold it!

You know, I've had it up
to here with both of you!

You're my best friends and
you're making my life miserable,

and I'm sick and tired of it.

Donna, are you finished?

No, Bren, I'm not finished!

And you're the one who
started this whole thing.

What do you mean, I started it?

Well, you said you
wanted to see other people.

So then when Dylan
did, you suddenly decided

"other people"
didn't include Kelly.

Thank you, Donna.

Get off your high horse, Kelly.

You know, I think that
was incredibly insensitive

to go out with Dylan
without even discussing it

with Brenda first.

How did you expect her to feel?

You know, if the two of
you don't stop fighting,

you're gonna lose something

that's a whole
lot more important

than some guy who
walked out on everybody.

Now, I'm finished.

Are you finished?

Yeah.

Good. Let's go.

Brandon, what's the matter?

That was Nikki's
aunt on the phone.

She was checking
to see if she's here.

I guess she didn't come
home from school today.

Her parents have been
trying to get in touch with her,

warn her that Diesel's in town.

What do you mean, "warn her?"

It seems Diesel has a
slight problem with women.

Occasionally, he
likes to beat them up.

Oh, righteous song.

Is that done by anyone we know?

Where have you been?

I told you I was going out
to get a pack of smokes.

That was over two hours ago.

Yeah, where are
Blade and the boys?

They went to get
something to eat.

Well, you should've
gone with them, baby.

I wasn't hungry.

Oh, where are my manners?

Amy, this is Nikki.

She's the girl who inspired
me to write "Different Eyes."

Dennis, um...

Can I talk to you a
minute alone, please?

I'll be there in a minute.

What's going on?

Who is this Amy?

What the hell
difference does it make?

Listen, you know how
I feel about you, Nikki.

I'm crazy about you,

but when you get on
this possessive trip,

I don't know how
to deal with it.

Then don't deal with it.

W-wait, where do
you think you're going?

Come here.

You can't expect a guy like
me to be faithful to one woman.

You're hurting me.

It's the best day of my life, and
you're gonna bring me down?

Let go of me, Dennis.

I told you not to
call me that, didn't I?

Stop it! Just let go of me!

Yeah?

I want to talk to Nikki.

Get lost, Jack. NIKKI: Brandon.

Brandon!

You okay?

Listen, this is
between me and her.

Please take me home.

You're not going anywhere.

Yes, I am.

Nikki! Hey, you heard her.

She's leaving.

Fine, take her.

You two make a real cute couple.

But you better be careful.

She's jailbait, you know.

Did you ever slap any
guys around, Weasel,

or is beating up young
girls more your style?

You wanna take me on?

Well, I ain't got nothing
to prove, but, uh,

if you wanna take a shot, why
don't you go ahead, Dennis?

Brandon!

Let's get out of here.

You sure ice is all
you want on that?

I can't get you anything else?

No, I'm fine.

Well, um...
actually, I'm not fine,

but, uh, I'm better off
than I was 40 minutes ago.

How's your hand?

It's a little tender.

Um...

Listen, Brandon...

Y-You don't have to
explain anything to me, really.

I want to. Um...

I never told this
to you before, but...

Diesel was the main reason
why I left San Francisco.

I thought it was because
you weren't getting along

with your parents.

He was the reason why
we weren't getting along.

Well, I can see why.

No.

No, he's really a great guy.

When he's into his music
and he's not drinking,

he can be the...

There I go again...

making excuses for him.

He hits me and I
make excuses for him.

I don't want to seem
naive or anything, but, uh...

why would you want to hang
around with a guy like that?

Because I never thought
I deserved any better.

Because until I met you,

I never knew what a
good relationship could be.

You're kidding, right?

No.

I thought I could change him.

Is there anything

I can do?

No... I'm fine. Thank you.

Um, my aunt should
be here any minute.

Oh, there's no rush.

You're welcome to stay
as long as you want to.

Thank you.

Your mom is real sweet.

Yeah, well, we've
trained her well.

Being here makes me
really miss my family.

Are things really so bad

that you can't even
talk to them anymore?

Actually, I'm supposed to be
going home for Thanksgiving.

Well, look, that's next week...

and, uh...

when you get back...

I'll still be here.

Really?

Yeah.

Must be Nikki's aunt.

Hi, Mrs. Walsh, Mr. Walsh.

Kelly.

It's good to see you.

Come on in.

Do you think it'll be
okay with Brenda?

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

Hold on a sec.

Come in.

Hi.

Never mind, David.

You don't need to
leave her a message.

Bye.

You were just calling me?

Yeah.

Bren, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Kelly.

I said some terrible...

Let's start over.

Look, Donna was right.

It was my decision
to break up with Dylan.

It was just a shock
seeing you two together,

but it wasn't your fault.

No, it, it was my fault.

What Donna said is true.

It was really
inconsiderate of me

not to talk to
you about it first.

We used to talk
about everything.

Yeah, and we let a
guy come in between us.

It's so '50s.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Poor Donna.

We really put her
through the wringer.

Yeah.

Look, Kelly... I have
to ask you something...

not because I'm
accusing you of anything,

but, uh, you haven't
heard from him, have you?

No.

Have you?

You taking that bag
on our morning ride?

I think it's time I
hit the road, Anne.

I figured something was up

when you disappeared last night.

How could you sell Shadowcaster?

I thought you loved that horse.

Dylan, it's a game... and I won.

It's not a game.

You didn't win anything.

Look around you, Anne.

The last thing you
need is more money.

Oh, you're going to teach me
about the ways of the world?

When you have money,
Dylan, nothing is irreplaceable.

Thanks for putting me up.

So that's it?

Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.

All because I sold a horse? No.

It's because I had a flash

of what my life could be
like 20 years from now.

I don't want to end up like you.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I didn't steal
the car, Anne. It's mine.

When I turn 21, I'll
come into a trust fund

worth hundreds of millions
of dollars, just like you did.

Am I supposed to believe you?

You can believe anything
you want, but I left L.A.

because there was too much
pressure, too many people,

too many strings pulling
me all these different ways,

and you know what I realized?

Without the strings,

you're not tied to anything.

You might as well
be dead inside.

Take care of yourself, Anne.

You know, Donna,
if this art school thing

doesn't work out for you,

maybe you should consider
being a group therapist.

I'm just glad you two are
on speaking terms again.

Me, too. I'm afraid

this little lovefest
is about to end.

David, I've got some great news.

Listen, Steve,
give it up, all right?

You're not my manager.

Case closed.

What's this?

It's a list of the
top ten managers

in the music business,

who are probably flipping
out over your demo tapes

that I had messengered
to them this morning.

So if a Bernie or
a Marty call you

and tell you they want
to represent you, it's legit.

You have real talent, David.

You deserve the best.

Thanks. Yeah,

and how much do you
get for a finder's fee, Steve?

Is that how you
think of me, Kelly?

That all I care about is
what I'm going to get out of it?

Well, it's part of your charm.

Kelly, remember when I said

I never told Lenny Horowitz
how sexy you were in bed?

I did.

I did because I thought it
would make me sound like a stud.

I'm sorry.

You're a very special
person to me, Kelly.

I hope you can find it in your
heart to someday forgive me.

Excuse me.

Brandon.

Brandon, I want to
show you something

and if you never talk to
me again, I'll understand.

Is this what I think it is?

Yeah.

A real live legacy key.

I thought it would be so simple.

No one would know.
No one would get hurt.

In my own twisted little brain,

I actually thought I was doing
something for a good cause:

to get into a great school.

I screwed up royally this time.

I lied.

I lied to you, man.

I stepped so far over the line,

I don't know if I can
ever find my way back.

I'm gonna go find Ms. Teasley
and cop to the whole thing.

What do you think
is going to happen?

I don't know what's
going to happen,

but if I don't have any friends,

what the hell does
it matter, right?

I think you underrate us, Steve.

No,

I never underrated you, Brandon,

but you... you all...

overrated me.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I think there's a story The
Blaze might be interested in.

So, wait a minute.

You're telling me that
this was all a scam?

You were being nice to me
just to keep me off the trail?

Andrea, of all the
lowest, dirtiest things

I've ever done in my life,

breaking into the school
is definitely the worst.

But I've never needed a
reason to be nice to you.

This is a very
serious matter, Steve.

What you've done
is against the law.

I know.

And personally, I'm very,
very disappointed in you.

That makes two
of us, Mrs. Teasley.

Don't make light
of this. I'm not.

I just don't know
what else to say. Oh,

I think there's a lot
more for you to say.

You mean to the police?

We'll get around
to that, but first

I have an interrogation
of my own I'd like to do.

You know, Steve,

you don't know a megabyte
from a megaburger,

which would seem to indicate

someone helped you break
into that computer system.

Talk to me, Steve.

You're in very serious trouble.

Now, either you tell me
the name of your accomplice

or I'm going to be forced

to recommend expulsion
rather than suspension.

It could be the difference
between graduating on time

or not graduating at all.

It was...

It was a solo operation.

I did it all by myself.

Then I'm sorry to say that
as of today, you are no longer

a student at West Beverly High.
