Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 17 - The Game Is Chicken - full transcript

Cutting a little close,
aren't we, Mr. Sanders?

l'm sorry.

Better late than never doesn't cut it
in detention, young man.

Be here on time
or the bus will leave without you.

l had car trouble.

Couldn't decide which one to drive?

Mr. Wardlow, l heard that.

Mr. Wardlow, Don't you have
homework? Something to read?

We have an hour until school starts.

How about a little cooperation
for a change, huh?

Hey, Sanders.



You know, l was watching
an old episode

of The Hartley House last night.

Boy, your mom,

she must be one of the few
truly great actresses of our time.

Why don't you clam up, bonehead.

ln this episode, your mom,
she throws a dinner party

and little Chuckie
steals a brownie off the dessert tray.

One of those gooey, frosted kind.

And naturally,
he doesn't wanna get caught with it.

So he hides it on one of the chairs

and one of the guests
sits right down on it.

Doesn't even know it.

l don't know when l laughed
so hard in my life.

You son of a--



You do that and you are in big,
big trouble, mister.

Brandon.

- Hi.
- Hey, Andrea.

Well, l finally had a major
breakthrough in my hypnotherapy.

Oh, wait a minute,
you're in hypnotherapy?

- Yeah, what's wrong with that?
- Nothing.

lt's not being hypnotised,
it's just you being hypnotised.

That is exactly why
l never mentioned it to you.

Look at you, you think
it sounds bogus, it's not that strange.

Police hire psychics all the time
to solve crimes, this is just one--

You're not going new age
on us, are you?

No.

l just feel like it's the only hope
l have of remembering the accident.

At this point,
l thought you'd be trying to forget it.

That's just it, l can't. So l keep going
under hoping that l'll remember

so l can get a grip on things.
You know, Brandon,

the only thing l can remember
is a silver car rushing at me

and then yesterday there it was.

- There what was?
- Stars, just as the car hit me.

Stars? Like in a cartoon
when someone gets hit over the head?

No, stars,
as in dangling from the mirror.

l mean,

that's what l think they were.

Well, l'm glad
you're starting to remember.

Yeah, me too.

What l've learned from these science
classes is never to take another one.

Well, you shouldn't take physics,

chemistry and bio
in the same semester.

lf there's any chance
of me graduating with you,

Brandon and everyone else by June,
l don't have any other choice.

Well, can l help out somehow?

Well, l'm nearing total meltdown.

l need more time and this radio show
is the only thing l can give up

and that means l'd have to put it
in the hands of Tim Burwell.

Well, Tim's okay.

My grandfather's okay, that doesn't
mean l want him picking out the tunes

we listen to in the morning.

Now, this is what's killing me.

Do you have idea how many bones
there are in the human body?

Two hundred and six?

How did you know that?

l took biology last semester.

No, l mean, how'd you know
how to cue up the CD.

Watching you.

Dylan, you got two beautiful girls
after you, l'd hardly call it trapped.

They're forcing me to pick
between them, man.

You can call it whatever you want.

Are you going shopping?

l call that trapped.

What?

Let's go.

l got an idea.

Maybe the girls would go for some
sort of a timeshare agreement.

Oh, man, this ain't funny.

Well, it's not exactly
tragic either, is it?

Any way you look at it, it's not
a good situation. You know me, man,

l don't respond well to ultimatums.

Mrs. Teasley is so cute
when she's mad, don't you think?

Next time you feel like almost
getting expelled, leave me out of it.

Hey, mellow out, man,
she wasn't gonna kick us out.

l know this may not mean
anything to you

but l'm trying to graduate, all right.

- So leave me alone.
- You're a role model, Sanders.

You really are.
By the way, nice sweats.

lt's good to see you're making
new friends in detention, Steve.

Wardlow's still in detention? He's
been there since he was a freshman.

The guy gets his mail there.

l'm a first-time offender
in there with lifers.

- So when are you eligible for parole?
- Never.

Never. Detention
is total Three Stooges.

l'm not gonna make it
to the end of the year.

l think
you're gonna make it, man.

You gotta take it
one day at a time,

you gotta pace yourself, you gotta...

No, no, no, l'm sorry.
l just can't put you into that deal.

The rate of return
doesn't justify taking that kind of risk.

Fine, fine. Have your broker
send me a prospectus

and l'll talk to you in the morning.

The guy hires me because he wants
a slow and steady approach

but it's one get-rich-quick scheme
after another.

l don't know, Dad. Quick sounds
like a good way to get rich to me.

That's what everybody thought.

The whole country's waking up.

Brandon, the party's over.

So l guess now isn't a good time
to hit you up

for a new pair of skis, huh?

Boots?

- Poles?
- Brandon.

Hey, Dad, nobody told me
the party was over, okay?

lt just doesn't sound like Dylan,

sneaking around
dodging you guys like that.

Believe me, it's not a pretty picture.

lt's not like you two
to be so passive, either.

Yeah, well,
what else can we do, Mom?

You know, if it were up to Dylan,

he would see Kelly on Mondays

and he would see me on Tuesdays.

Well, maybe this whole ultimatum
thing wasn't such a good idea.

Why are we giving Dylan
all the power?

Well, what happens
when he makes up his mind?

We don't know.

Hey, you know, l was talking
to Joyce Maynard, my tennis partner,

and her other doubles partner, well,
she has a son who goes to Princeton.

Princeton?

And he has a friend,
also a Princeton man

and they were looking for a night on
the town. A double-date kind of thing.

Okay.

Now, you have
about a minute left on this cut.

A minute.

Well, actually, 55 seconds.

Now, the moment this song stops

you run that DJ intro
you were doing for me,

punch in the next cut
and bam, you're out.

Okay?

Now, do you remember
which buttons to push?

Right here.

Okay, good.

Now, just relax and pretend
you're talking to your best friend, okay?

Brenda, l've been thinking about it,

l've never been very good
at double-dating,

even when everybody knows
each other. But a blind double date?

l don't think so.

Look, Kelly, they're lvy League
from Princeton.

My Dad said Woodrow Wilson
went there, F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Didn't Brooke Shields go there?

My point exactly.

And now l'd like to introduce
my temporary replacement,

Look out Howard Stern,
here's Donna Martin,

Good morning, West Beverly,

This is Donna,

Donna,,,

- Call 91 1 .
- She's dying.

Let's go.

Donna, you gotta talk louder.

This is Donna.

Donna coming to you from--

Where am l?

l can't do this, David.

Donna. Forget about them, okay?

lt's just the two of us in here.
Just forget about them.

Come on, come on.

l'm coming to you from a room

which l'm sharing with David Silver,

My very understanding coach.

He'll be on vacation for a while,
doing the study thing,

getting ready
for an early graduation.

And won't he look good this June
in his cap and gown.

Yes.

Okay, well, now we're ready for...

Okay.

Where does the makeup go?

You know, you put it on in the
morning and an hour later it's gone.

Across the country
there must be like

tons of cosmetics
just vanishing in high schools

without a trace.

Where does it all go?
The answer to this

and many other puzzling questions
of the universe coming up.

David that was-- Wow, what a rush.

You were right, the trick
is to just talk to one person.

All you were supposed to do was
give the intro and cue the song.

No one wants to hear
about makeup.

What do you mean?

Well, am l fired?

- No.
- Did l do good?

You'll get better.

Better,

Get-- Get out of there.

Wardlow. Where are you?

l know you're here.
Come out, you weasel.

Hey, now, who could forget

about The Hartley House
''Chicken and the Egg'' episode?

Oh, you're hysterical.

Or was it
''The Egg and the Chicken''?

You wanna pick on me,
you give it your best shot.

But keep your ass
away from my car.

This is my car. My Vette. Look at it.

You're right, Sanders.
Your car didn't do anything to me.

l never did anything to you.

Hey, it's all right, man.

They were only in there
a couple of minutes.

Come on, l've got some rags
in my trunk.

Nitrous oxide?

That stuff rots your brains.

l don't breathe it.

- My engine does.
- My God.

Yanko carb conversion.
Headers. Full race cam.

That's more than my Vette.

- l bet you can't even change your oil.
- Change the oil?

Aren't you supposed to toss the car
when the oil's dirty?

Yeah, you're all right, Sanders.

When do l get to drive this thing?

Nobody drives my car.

Nobody.

How fast is this thing?

Can l trust you?

You already have.

l know which car is yours now.

What are you doing later on today?

Why don't you tell me.

All right, lndustrial Avenue.
We're here.

Now, will you tell me
why we're here?

For you, Brandon. You love cars.

Sanders.

l thought you said this guy
was public enemy number one?

He is.

Hey, l didn't think
you were gonna show up, man.

This place wasn't easy to find.
Joe Wardlow, Brandon Walsh.

- We met in the hall.
- Yeah.

Sanders, think you can lend me
a hundred bucks.

No. No, l don't think
l can lend you a hundred bucks.

Don't invite somebody,
then hit them up for a hundred bucks.

Wait a minute,
you guys are racing for money?

Come on, Steve, the guy l was
gonna stake me crapped out, man.

l need a hundred.
l got the other half.

Loan me the money.
l'll pay you back, l swear.

Come on, this guy is a total loser,
man. l'll wear him out.

l'm in for 40.

Brandon, you wanna lose
your paycheque?

No, brother, l wanna double it.

But this will be worth it
in entertainment value alone.

Steve, if you don't wanna do this,
that's fine.

- This sounds like a sure thing.
- No, it sounds like a Joe thing.

Come on, Steve.

Steve, come on.

- Do it, do it, do it.
- Why not?

- Here, Wardlow.
- Cool.

You guys work it out, man.

We got a race.

Here's the rest.

l'm in for 40, right? l'm in.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Man.

He won.

Two hundred bucks, man. Cops get
here pretty quick. l'll see you in prison.

Know how long it takes
to make this money at the Peach Pit?

Don't tell me. lt'll depress me.

- This is unreal.
- When's the next race?

- No idea.
- Well, you find out, you tell me.

Because this is me.

How long is this gonna go on
with Dylan on one side of the room

- and you two on the other?
- Oh, is Dylan here?

Bren, do you still think that Princeton
double-date thing is open?

- l know it is.
- Let's go for it.

- Hi, guys. Congratulations, Donna.
- Thank you.

lt's time we heard the sound
of a girl's voice on the airwaves.

Not that l don't like David's.

Oh, speaking of David, l was supposed
to tell you that he might drop by.

Donna.

- l thought you had to study.
- Well, l do.

But l have a few ideas
for the show tomorrow.

David, l'll be okay.

Well, that's fine.
Let's just go over the play list.

- Excuse us, this is business.
- All right.

We're out of here too, Andrea.
See you.

- All right, bye.
- Bye.

- Do you know what nitrous does?
- Listen, bro, this guy's a scammer.

- lncredible.
- Amazing.

All right,
what can l get for you, chief?

l'll have an iced tea.

Oh, she's talking to me.

What are Dylan and Steve plotting?

l'm sworn to secrecy.

Steve, l'm telling you,
Wardlow's a scammer.

l think l'd would know
if something was up.

Does this sound familiar to you?

Joe discovers
that you're both interested in cars.

Not really so hard for Joe
because you drive a ZR-1 .

He takes you to a race, next thing
you know, he asks you to stake him.

- He did say he was a little short.
- Right, now, Steve, l know you won.

But next time, stakes are gonna be
higher, you are not gonna be so lucky.

You mean they fix the races?

Oh, come on, you were there.
How honest does that look to you?

- Well, we did all right.
- Maybe we should back out.

And mess with my retirement plan?

Gentlemen.

There has to be another way
to get around this.

What's this about a race?

lt's no big thing.

The nearest legal drag strip
is about 90 miles away,

so some guys
just run their cars on the street.

And you're involved in this?

Even though you know
l was nearly killed by some moron

who thought that Benton Avenue
was a race track?

l didn't want you to hear
about this, Andrea.

Because you know
you shouldn't be doing it.

Guys, l have been in physical
and hypnotherapy

for the past two months now
because of that jerk.

Hypnotherapy?

What's that, some guy with a beard
waves a watch across your face,

tells you to bark like a dog?

Look, it's serious, okay, Steve.

l'm sorry.

Maybe soon l can sleep
two nights in a row

without waking up in a cold sweat.

l didn't know it was that serious.

l can't believe you guys
are doing this.

Joe will probably
hit you up tomorrow.

How many more reasons
do you need to say no?

Morning, Steve. Brownie?

Just kidding.

How'd you like the race?

lt was pretty cool.

That was running first gear compared
to what l got lined up now, man.

This is the race, Sanders.

Mega fast, mega bucks.

Like yesterday, l will prevail.

lf l back you, right?

You ready for the majors?

Go to a bank, Wardlow.

- l thought l'd found a friend.
- No.

You thought you'd found a sucker.

No big deal.

l'll find someone else.

Well, all right, West Beverly,

Okay, so l was
blitz-shopping Melrose yesterday

and l see Jockey for her,
Calvin Klein for her, B VD for her,

Now, l don't get it,
l mean, l don't see them

making Maidenform for him,

l'm a little confused,
ls anyone out there confused?

Donna, that wasn't the routine
we rehearsed yesterday.

l know, but l didn't think of it
until just now.

This song isn't even on the play list.

Yeah, but you have to admit
it does fit.

lt's okay.

Look, David, everything is fine.

The second this cut is done,
l'll get back to your play list.

Okay. l'm sorry.

So when do you wanna go
over the show for tomorrow?

So they'll pick us up tonight
at my house at 8.

What do they look like?

l don't know.
l just talked to one of them.

What did he sound like?

Very handsome. Very Princeton.

lt'll be a blast.

God, l haven't had a date
yet this year.

Yeah and if it were up to Dylan,
you'd still be saying that on prom night.

Both of us would.

Well, l'm ready.

Lately, between you and me,

l've been thinking
of how lucky Donna is to have David.

You know, David, we could be
going out tonight, as planned,

if you'd been studying instead
of leaning over me in the DJ booth.

lt's just until you get the hang of it.

l've got the hang of it. You're the one
who thinks l'm doing everything wrong.

No one wants to hear a show
about makeup and underwear.

- Do they?
- l do.

Me too.
Underwear more than makeup.

Makeup more than underwear.
Well, maybe you're right.

David, l was just doing this
to help you out.

Thank you.

Look, l gotta go study.

So you guys up for a movie tonight?

Sorry, Don, we've got plans.

Oh. Well, do your plans
have a friend, by chance?

Maybe racing cars isn't exactly
the kind of extracurricular activity

you can put on a college application,
but it's something, Steve.

Joe works hard at it.

l think it's time we spoke
about Joe's character flaws, Brandon.

Granted. But l wish you could've
heard him talk about this race.

lf he wins this thing, he'll be the
heavyweight champion of the world.

lt's a big competition,
l really don't think he's gonna throw it.

But if you don't want to back him,
that's fine.

But if you do, l'm in for 200.

How much does he want?

- Fifteen hundred bucks.
- No, really?

- Really, 1 500 bucks.
- Fifteen hundred bucks?

So you put in a couple
and l put up the rest, huh?

Steve, if we win it's three grand.

Or zero if Joe takes a dive.

Dylan, if you don't want in,
that's fine. No one's twisting your arm.

- So who's he running anyway?
- This guy Frank Padilla.

- Padilla?
- You know him?

Yeah, l know him. About 30,
drug dealer, done a little time.

You guys obviously don't know the
crowd that hangs at these things, man.

l used to run cars with these guys,
the whole thing isn't worth three grand.

lt's not about money.

- What's it about?
- lt's about winning.

- lt's about winning money.
- Fine.

lt is about money. Because
if l had the money to back him

we wouldn't be standing here
having this conversation right now.

Dylan, it's no big deal.

Hey, you guys
wanna go play teen outlaw,

be my guest.
Just don't say l didn't warn you.

Oh, l cannot believe
l'm actually nervous.

What if we run out of things
to talk about?

Talk about Princeton.
Pretend you applied.

ln other words, talk about them?

lt always seems to work.

l hope they're not too preppy.

l don't know. Right now,
we could both use a little dose

of lvy League cachet. Let's go.

This is Wayne and this is Adam.

This is Brenda and Kelly.

Thank you, God.

You guys don't really go
to Princeton, do you?

Yeah. Yeah, we do. We go
to the Princeton School in Encino.

Making boys into men.

Brenda.

See, we thought
you were college guys.

Okay, well,

we don't have to go out
if you don't want to.

No, of course you're going out.

We are gonna have so much fun.

l can just feel it.

After everything we went through,
this guy better show.

He will show. He loves the combat.

Yeah, tell me again.

That's Frank Padilla?

No.

That's Frank Padilla.

You're gonna race that?

lt must be my birthday.

lf that one tells another blond joke,
l'm gonna kill him.

Kelly.

Oh, boy, l'm really glad
we got all dressed up for this.

And l think your single strand of pearls
was a nice choice. Understated.

Just like ''Total Carnage.''

Okay, Bren,
it's time to cut our losses here.

Kelly, we cannot ditch these guys.
My mom plays tennis with their moms.

lf you can't say no to this...?

What ever happened to setting limits,
you know?

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Hello.

Hello there.

We're on level ten.
That's the highest.

Look, the truth is, l'm really sick.

Both of us are.

Oh, great, just show off for the girls.

- Level 1 1 . Yeah.
- Oh, level 1 1 .

Wait. l thought you said
there were only ten levels.

We're going where
no man's gone before.

Who's to say there isn't a level 1 1 1

or a million and 1 1 ?

We gonna die here, Brenda.

l don't mean to brag,

but l was a reigning ''Cosmo Gang''
champion of Wayzata

in '85 through '87.

That is nothing to brag about, Bren.
That was the Midwest.

Everybody knows the action was in
Westwood and l was the kid to beat.

You know, at first l thought
$1 500 was a little crazy,

but, well, actually,
l still think it is a little crazy.

l think Joe's got a shot, though.

Brandon.

Hello, McFly?

Andrea said she remembered
one thing about the car that hit her.

- Stars.
- Stars?

This isn't more of that
hypnotherapy business?

Oh, my God.

Brandon, you don't think
this is the car, do you?

Great. No plates.

How many cars have stars hanging
from the mirror?

lt's not just that. Andrea always said
it was a silver muscle car.

''Muscle car''
doesn't describe this monster.

A machine driven by a guy who
didn't even stop to see if she was alive.

Brandon, we gotta do something.

Steve, we're in way over our heads.

Bran, go get the cops,
l'll stall them here somehow.

lt'll take half an hour.

Just go, l'll manage.

What am l gonna tell them?
He has stars.

- Get Andrea to lD this guy.
- How can you hold them that long?

Just go. l'll handle it somehow.

l wanna see this car.

Steve, we just did.

l didn't.

Deep pockets gets three minutes
and that's it.

Steve.

Here you go.

What's the geek's name?

- Wayne.
- No, the other geek

that went where
no geek has gone before.

Adam.

Take that, Adam.

Let's not forget about Wayne.

- All right, after you, man.
- Cool.

lt's a really good sign that you want a
memento of our double date from hell.

Well, without some proof
l'd probably start to wonder

if it ever really happened.

Now what are you doing, man?

Just checking the radiator.

The race lasts 1 2 seconds, man.
There's nothing gonna overheat.

This car doesn't have an air filter.

There's not supposed to be one.

Hey, man,
you're making me look bad.

You don't need me
to make you look bad, Wardlow.

You know, it wasn't exactly easy
to get in touch with this guy

and he's about to bail.
ls that what you want?

All right, l'll tell you what.

lf l'm staking this race,

l'm driving it.

The ride's not for sale, man.
l told you, nobody drives my car.

All right,

but l have all night.

Look, man, l can beat him.
You can't.

Yeah, but will you?
That's the question.

You don't trust me?

We're back to that?

You know, where's Walsh?

He took one look at Padilla and split.

You don't screw
with these guys, man.

Don't set me up.

How are we doing, children?

We got a little problem here.

You promised me a race.

Now, whatever you have to do
with this clown

to make it happen,
you make it happen.

That was real smooth, man.

Now he's pissed.

Then let me drive.

You're a one-man psycho ward,
you know that.

Here.

l'm trusting you, man.
And l don't trust anybody.

Hey, is this seat taken?

No. Please, join me.

Thank you.

You know, l could really use
some advice about me and David

- and this whole radio show.
- Yeah.

Well,

see, l didn't think it would be fun,
but it really is.

And l'm doing great.
At least, l think l'm doing great.

And David does too.

l think he does. Even though you can't
tell by the way he's been acting.

But--

Dylan?

- You're not even listening to me.
- What?

You know now l can understand

why Kelly and Brenda
get so frustrated with you.

Sorry, Donna,
l just got a little distracted.

What is it?

Dylan, l asked if l could join you
and you said yes, if you didn't mean it--

lt's Brandon and Steve, all right?

l'm a little worried. They went
to this street race with this punk

and l'm afraid they're gonna get taken.
Or beaten up.

Or worse.

What are you doing here, then?

Cool?

All right, Sanders.
Look, we've got better rubber than him.

But he's got us on inches.
You gotta beat him off the line.

Now, l'll be starting the race.

So when l point to you,
you bring up the revs up to here.

Now look, when l bring my hand down,
you hammer that gas,

but don't you look back, okay?

Good luck. He'll be calling the race.

- What? What now?
- What is this?

What's with the stalling,
chicken man?

What's with your girlfriend
calling the race?

Hey, look, man, l've had it with you.
Obviously, you don't wanna race.

Then how about this: you and me.

No stalling, no crap, no talk,
no nothing. Just you and me.

Your car there. My car there.
We drive straight at each other.

The first one who swerves
is a chicken.

You think you got the guts for that?

Then Colonel Sanders
the chicken man,

you don't say another word.

Hope when l'm your age
l'm still living in the '50s.

Where did you get your car?
From your mommy, big shot, huh?

l bet you get your money
from her too.

You know, how she gets it,
don't you?

- Don't you?
- Not by stealing races.

No, no, no, she is too old for that.

l mean, how many slimy producers
did mommy dearest do

for little Stevie's wheels?

Chicken. Chicken.
You and me, man. You and me.

- Steve, what are you doing this for?
- Don't worry, l'm not using your car.

- You got nothing to prove to this guy.
- Maybe l do, all right?

Look, just get in your car
and drive away, man.

So Padilla and you can take
cheap shots at my mom,

- who's protected me all my life.
- Look, we all--

No. We don't ''all'' anything, all right?

She adopted me.

She loved me when no one else
on this entire planet did.

l can't believe the rich girl from Beverly
Hills was such a dead-bang shot.

Well, l can't believe the little girl from
Minnesota held her own in the big city.

Now, tell me again,
how did we get here?

lt's hazy, but l think
we can trace it back to your mother.

And from there, back to Dylan.

l said the D word.

l think we made
a big mistake, Brenda.

What?

Giving Dylan the power to choose

which one of us
he wants to go out with?

Or going on this blind double date?

What if we both lose him?

Well, l'm sure we can always get
pip-squeak and pip-squeak

to take us here every Friday night.

Yes, but we have to promise
not to let these guys come between us.

Never let any guy come between us.

By the way, l think Adam likes you.

- Here you go, ladies.
- l'll bet you're starved.

All right, chilli-cheese nachos.

Those are mine.

Thank you.

And cheese-steak sandwich,
chilli fries, chilli-Frito burrito

- and two mineral waters.
- Those would be ours.

l guess you guys
aren't very hungry, huh?

Hey, yeah, you know
we were wondering something.

Go ahead, ask them.

- Me?
- Yeah.

Fire away. We can handle it.

Well, we were just wondering
why two girls

as cool as yourselves
don't have boyfriends?

What are you doing?

- Who is that? McKay? ls that you?
- Yeah, it's me.

- lt is none of your business.
- l think it is.

- Hey, just butt out.
- lt's over, man.

Why is it over? Because the prince
of Bel Air says it's over?

Yeah, because l said so.

You set me up, you crud.

l heard there was a big race, man,
am l late?

Dylan.

Hey, man, l know.
l know, buddy, it's all right.

All right, guys?

Are you sure that's the guy?

l've never been more sure
of anything in my whole life.

Whatever this
mysterious adventure was,

it sure seems
to work up the appetite.

You should do this every day.

Well, l can only speak for myself,
but as far as l'm concerned,

no, no, thank you, absolutely not.

- Steve, l'm shocked.
- So am l.

- Where's your sense of adventure?
- Exactly.

l wish you guys
could have seen the cops' faces

when l mentioned
the name Frank Padilla.

Not big fans of his early work.

l was thrilled to see them
haul him off to jail.

You think you were thrilled, huh?

- Did they read him his rights?
- Andrea--

l wanna make sure
it was a hundred percent by the book.

l wanna nail that guy.

Yeah, you guys are all pretty lucky
to have each other.

Yeah, we are.

Wayne, Adam.

Brandon, Dylan,
Andrea, Steve and...

- Joe.
- Joe.

- Hi.
- Hey.

So you guys are the double date
from Princeton, right?

You must be child prodigies?

- The Princeton School.
- ''Making boys into men.''

So, boys--

Guys,

how did the date go?

Well, Brenda is remarkable.

Oh, yeah.

And Kelly, Kelly's a goddess.

Yup, l know what you mean.

Yo, yo, West Beverly,

This is Donna-Donna

pumping ten trillion watts
of Mondo Music madness.

l always wanted to do that
on the air,

And now that l have,

l guess what l'm trying to say is

it's been fun.

But l'm sure
you've all missed David.

You have no idea how much l have.

Anyway, this might be slow
for first thing Monday morning,

but first things first.

Anyway, l chose it.

lt's all yours again.

Look, Donna, l got a lot of work
done over the weekend

and l kind of got my head
cleared up.

And l really don't want
you to give it up.

David, l tried.

l mean, l really, really tried.

And you were totally great.

And l'm totally not.

You know
l only wanted to help you.

l know. And you did.

l knew you could do the show

but it's like you swept in here
and you became two people.

Thanks.

l think.

So, what do you say?

Maybe we become one
of those drive-time teams, you know,

Mark and Brian.

Donna and David
coming at you, going strong.

Okay,

except one thing.

David and Donna,
coming at you, going strong.

Well, here we are, West Beverly,
David and Donna,

living proof that two
are definitely better than one,

The thing l don't quite get is how,,,
