Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 3, Episode 19 - Back in the High Life Again - full transcript

Well, just make some phone calls,
yeah.

Armand Greer, Pete Harris,
the usual gang of idiots.

l wanna know
who's still talking to me.

Yeah, well, make it about 8:00.

Give me time
to take a long hot bath.

Okay, l'll see you then, baby.
All right, bye.

- Christine?
- Yeah.

- You know, l liked her.
- She is real easy to like.

So, what do you think
about the limo, huh?

Just like the old days.

Oh, l don't know.
l'm not really too fond of the old days.



Well, it was just a little gift
from my attorneys,

so we might as well enjoy it.

How did you swing this?

l thought you didn't have
a shot at parole

for at least another couple years.

l don't honestly know, son.
The lawyers worked something out.

- l just packed my bags and ran.
- So, what are you going to do now?

Long-term, who knows?
Short-term, we party.

Call your friends, whoever you want.

We'll call room service,
have Ricardo fix something up.

Give me a chance to forget
l lost the last two years of my life.

l'm glad you're out.

Me too, son.

Me too.



Looks like we have company.

Yeah, everybody turned out
for their favourite felon.

Let me handle this.

Was there a financial transaction
involved in your sudden release?

l don't have that kind of money.

What about the lawsuits
pending against you?

How will you compensate
the people that allege you stole?

Talk to my lawyers.
l've been out of touch.

What's the first thing you'll do
now that you're free?

l'm going to Disneyland.

l'm gonna spend some time
with my son.

- Mr. McKay, what about the--?
- That's it, guys. l'll talk to you later.

l thought you meant it
when you said you loved me.

- l did.
- Oh, but you don't anymore?

- This is not about love, Jackie.
- Then what is it about?

l like women, okay?
l can't help myself.

A 1 9-year-old dental hygienist
is hardly a woman.

- l told you. That's over.
- Only because you're bored with her.

Okay, so l'm a bastard.
What do you want from me?

l want you out of my sight.
Go be with your bimbo.

l'm sorry, Kelly.

lt's not your fault.

l mean, l like your dad.

He's always been really cool to me,
you know?

l just can't believe
he'd do something so tacky.

Yeah, well, believe it.
He did the same thing to my mother.

lt was just
a different dental hygienist.

Only my mother didn't have
the guts to throw him out,

so she moved to Portland
and started a new life.

When it comes to throwing guys out,
my mom's got a lot of practise.

l just feel bad for Erin.
l mean, she's just a baby.

At least she's too young
to really know what's going on.

Until she gets old enough

to start wondering
where her daddy's at.

lf Mel and Jackie crash and burn,
what are we gonna do?

We're the kids.
We'll do what we're told.

That's easy for you to say.
You get to stay here.

What about me? Where do l go?

l mean, the only reason my mom
agreed to let me live here

is because my dad convinced her
he'd make a good home life for me.

David, you'll still have a home.

Come on, in a bachelor pad
in the marina with his latest girlfriend?

No, thanks.

We'll figure something out.
l promise.

- Hello?
- Hi, it's me.

- Hi, how's your dad?
- Are you kidding? He's great.

He's having a party tonight
at the Bel Age.

- Why don't you come over?
- l don't know.

David and l are kind of dealing
with some heavy family stuff.

Tell him to come too.
l'm inviting everybody.

All right, hold on.

Dylan's dad's having a party tonight.
Do you wanna go?

l can't. l've gotta go to Donna's

and try and study
for my chem. midterm.

You go. l think it'd do you some good
to get out of the house for a little while.

No kidding.

- l'll be there. What time?
- Eight o'clock?

Great. Bye.

Mr, McKay,
was there a financial transaction

involved in your sudden release
from prison?

- l don't have that kind of money,
- Right.

Two years on a ten-year sentence.

The guy hardly even has time
to write a book.

Dad, you don't even know the guy.

Don't tell me
you're gonna defend him.

He's a liar and a crook
and God knows what else.

Why do you hate Jack McKay
so much?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Brenda, it's beyond mistakes.

Hello? Oh, hi, Dylan.

Oh, yeah, she's right here. Hang on.

Hi, l just saw you on television.

Tonight?

Okay. Are you at the hotel now?

l'll call you back. Bye.

Where are you going, young lady?

- Out.
- Brenda.

They're having a party
for Dylan's father at the Bel Age.

Dylan invited me and l'm going.

No, l'm sorry, you're not.

l don't believe it. The war
is starting all over again, isn't it?

Brenda, this is not about Dylan.
His father is another story.

l don't want you going anywhere
near this man, do you understand?

Dad, it is only a party.

Brenda, Jack McKay went to jail
for insider trading,

but that is only the tip of the iceberg.

He was involved
in money laundering, bribery,

and he's got Mob connections,
for God's sake.

Honey, l don't ask you for much,

but, please,
trust your old man on this one.

So you're heading over
to the Bel Age?

Dylan said it's gonna
be a pretty happening scene.

Oh, come on, even without Magic,
l'd still rather be at a Lakers game.

Are you sure you can't get away?

Look, l've got two tickets
at centre court, floor level.

No, can do, chief. Duty calls.

Sanders, get out of here.
You're not spending any money.

So you wanna get in on a little bet
before you go down to the game?

- Cleveland's looking pretty good.
- First of all,

l do not bet against the Lakers.
Ever, okay?

And second of all, how many times
do l have to tell you

that basketball is a sucker's bet?

Well, maybe for you, sonny,
but l follow the game.

- l'm practically a maven.
- Yeah.

Talk to me tomorrow
when l'm $1 00 richer, buddy boy.

Hey, Nat, would you do me a favour?

Would you call Duke
and put a buck on Cleveland for me?

Brandon, isn't that kind of steep?

No, they're only giving the Lakers
two points.

- Oh, two points.
- Nat, it's easy money.

There's no such thing, pal.
Stay loose.

Andrea, you've had your head buried
in these magazines for an hour.

What could possibly be
so interesting?

Steve, what do you think
about redheads?

Redheads? Do you know
what they say about redheads?

What?

They have red hair.

Very funny.

What about blondes?
Do you like blondes?

Well, isn't that a silly question?
Come on, Andrea, this is California.

Blondes are like the state flower
or something.

That's not what l meant, Steve.

l know what you meant, Andrea.

l think you'd look great as a blonde.
Why don't you go for it?

But l couldn't.

- No, l mean, it's just too radical.
- Maybe radical is what you need.

You think so?

The more radical-er the better.

Steve, there's no such word
as ''radical-er.''

lt's not a word. lt's an attitude.

You know what l'm saying?

- Hi.
- Oh, Kel. Hey, you look great.

l was beginning to think no one
was gonna show.

l'm the only one?

So far, yeah. Everyone else
was busy or so they said.

l guess it's not that big of an honour
to meet Jack McKay.

None of his so-called friends
showed up either.

There are more waiters than guests.

Well, David had to study, really.

Yeah, Steve had to go
to a basketball game.

Brandon had to work.
l forget what Andrea's reason was.

But Bren said she'll be here.

- She can't make it either.
- She said she was coming.

l know. She didn't call you back?

No. What?

She wanted to come, really.

Her dad made a big deal,
you know how it is.

- Yeah, unfortunately, l do.
- Dylan.

Hey, it's not important.

You're here.

So when are you gonna introduce me
to your father?

Come on. He's gonna love you.

You know you've been
in the joint way too long

when you start reading
the prison newsletter

for tips on how to decorate your cell.

Hey, Dylan, come on over here.

You remember Mickey Garwood,

- greatest lawyer in the west.
- Good to see you again.

Listen, whatever you did
to get my dad out of there, thanks.

- This is my friend, Kelly Taylor.
- A very beautiful Kelly Taylor.

Thank you. lt's nice to meet you.

Great taste, kid.
Just like your old man.

Well, you better behave yourself,
Jack.

- This is Christine.
- Hi.

- Hi, Kelly, nice to meet you.
- Thanks.

Well, l better be going, Jack.

Oh, Mickey, come on,
you just got here.

l gotta be in court at 8 tomorrow.

Oh, that's right.
Okay, well, let me show you out.

- Bye, Christine.
- Bye, Mickey.

Pleasure meeting you, Miss Taylor.

Jack's entourage isn't as big as it was
in the old days.

Your father had a lot more money
in the old days.

With just over 22 seconds left to play
in overtime,

the Cavs holding on
to a slim three-point lead,

Come on, come on, Cavs.

Let's hold them here.
Let's hold them here.

- Brandon.
- Hang on, Bren.

- Look, l need to talk to you.
- Can it wait?

No. Kelly went to the party
at the Bel Age.

- That's nice.
- Brandon.

Come on, Cleveland.
Hold them here. Just hold them.

Why are you rooting
against the Lakers?

l'm not rooting against them,
l'm betting against them.

Look, l understand why dad
wouldn't let me go to the party,

but with Kelly being there--

Come on, Cleveland.
Come on. Come on.

Brandon.

- What are you doing? Give me that.
- l need to talk to you.

After the game l'll talk to you
as long as you want, Bren. l promise.

What is it with you, anyway?

Why are you betting on
all these basketball games?

Because it's fun and it makes
it interesting, and l like it, okay?

l don't smoke. l don't drink.

l'm sleeping my way
through my senior year.

l don't have a girlfriend.
l'm bored out of my head.

This gives me little pleasure
and it's making me some money.

So, what's the big deal?

Oh, excuse me. Sorry l asked.

Goes in strong, Ball's tipped,
Looking around, Perkins picks it up,

No, no, no.

A, C, Green dribbling from downtown,
No, Can't seem to find his--

Yes, we have some caviar,

some smoked salmon
and pig-meat pizza.

No, thanks, l'm not very hungry.

Are you okay?
You don't sound so good.

Stuff's going down at home.

Looks like my mom's
gonna be single again.

You're kidding me. l mean, l really
thought those two would make it.

Unfortunately, so did my mother.

- Are you okay?
- l guess so.

Think l'd be used to it by now,
l've been through it enough.

l just wish they'd stop fighting,
get on with the divorce.

You wanna stay here
with me tonight?

l can't do that.

Why not?

You know why not.

Okay, but l've got an idea.
Let's go swimming.

- Swimming?
- Yeah.

l don't have a suit.

So the shops are open downstairs,
we'll buy you one.

lt's too cold.

Kelly, the pool's heated
and l'll keep you warm.

What about your father?

He's got his own blonde.
He's busy. He'll never miss us.

Come on. Let's go.

Remember the last time
we went swimming in this pool?

Mark What's-His-Name
almost drowned.

He was so wasted at your party.

Yeah, the good old days.

l sort of remember.
l'm lucky l remember anything.

This was a good idea.

- l'm full of good ideas.
- Oh, l bet you are.

- Don't do it unless you mean it.
- l mean it.

You're in trouble then.

Don't do that if you don't mean it.

l mean it.

Well, you're in trouble now.

Dylan, what if Brenda
had come tonight?

She didn't.

So is that how you made up your mind,
because she's not here?

Maybe.

Mel and my mom are breaking up
because he was fooling around.

l just can't feel that great
about being the other woman.

Look, it was you two that gave me
the dumb ultimatum.

You said choose. l chose.

l chose you.

l want you. l've always wanted you.

lf we're gonna make it,
we have to tell Brenda the truth.

We can't make
the same mistake again.

Fine. No problem.

No, l mean we have to tell her
about the summer.

Kelly, telling Brenda about us
fooling around this summer,

it's not gonna help anything.

l know, but she's my friend.

l owe it to her
to tell her the truth, you know?

So do you.

Okay.

Donna, thank you so much.

Without you,
l wouldn't know where to start.

l can't afford those fancy salons.

l figured, ''Who should l call?
Of course, Donna.

She's an expert
at this kind of stuff.

She knows exactly what to do.''
And here you are. lt's perfect.

Have you picked out a colour yet?

No, l don't want a colour,
not all over.

l want one of those little...
You know, those little streaky things.

- Highlights.
- Yes, highlights.

- Do you know how to do that?
- Of course l do.

l was thinking of--
l don't know, something a little--

l don't know,
something a little blonde.

No, no, no. Red would be much better
with your skin tone.

Are you sure?

Yeah, what are you worried about?

l don't know.

- You don't have to do it.
- No. lt's time for a change.

lf l'm gonna go off to Yale,

l'm not gonna go there looking
like some geek.

- Andrea, you are not a geek.
- Yeah, well,

going to that spa with you guys
taught me something.

Beauty may be skin deep,
but it's no sin to be beautiful.

Good.

Still, l don't know.
lt's such a big change.

Andrea, it's not plastic surgery.
lt's a hair colour.

lf you don't like it,
you'll change it back.

You make it sound so easy.

Well, it is. Trust me.

You're gonna be gorgeous,
here and at Yale.

- Okay, thank you.
- Thank you.

Take care.

- Shouldn't we wait for Christine?
- No, no, let her sleep.

Nice spread.
Who's picking up the tab?

Well, you might as well know.

Between the fines and the lawyers,
l'm wiped out.

But l did stash a little bit away
where no one could find it.

- Just a little bit?
- Just a little.

Just a little, not much,
so enjoy it while it lasts.

What are you gonna do
when it runs out?

l'm gonna make some more,
that's what.

You make it sound pretty easy.
lt's not the '80s anymore.

So you're a financial expert now,
is that it?

No, far from it.

Well, maybe you ought
to become one.

That trust fund of yours
is pretty hefty, Dylan.

Might as well know what you're doing
when it comes to investments.

l'm not interested in investments.

Besides,
Jim Walsh takes care of all that.

ls he doing a good job?

- l get a cheque every month.
- l know, but is he doing a good job?

l wouldn't worry. l mean, l'm sure
it's very safe, very conservative.

That's just the way Jim is.

l'm sure he is, Dylan,
but is he doing a good job?

- l don't know.
- That's exactly what l'm talking about.

Did you read this?

''Jack McKay's release
from federal prison

only marks the end
of his criminal prosecution.

Over 300 lawsuits have been filed
in civil court,

the first due to come
to trial in the next three months.''

Jack McKay's gonna be a busy man.

Wonder how much dough
he's got stashed away.

Paper says he's broke.

- Morning, honey.
- Hi.

Brandon already left for school.
Want me to give you a ride?

No, thanks, l'll walk.

Brenda,
are you mad about last night?

As a matter of fact, yes.
Kelly went to the party.

Apparently, her mother
didn't have a problem with her

meeting the evil Jack McKay.

Honey, Kelly's mother has a lot
of other things on her mind right now.

And you're not Kelly Taylor.

l know l'm not.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Well, yes, he is.
Just a minute, please?

Jim, it's Jack McKay.

- Hello.
- Mr, Walsh?

- Speaking.
- l just wanted to introduce myself

to the man who's been taking care
of business for my son.

What can l do for you?

Well, l just thought we ought
to get together, you know?

The sooner the better.

All right.
Why don't you call my office?

My secretary can set something up.

Terrific, okay, l'll look forward to it.

- Goodbye, Mr, McKay,
- Goodbye, Mr. Walsh.

- What did he want?
- A meeting.

- About Dylan's money?
- He didn't say.

Dad, what's going on?

First of all, l don't know.
And second of all,

business between me and a client
is confidential.

Mom, l don't like this.
l'm really worried about Dylan.

Honey, l'm sure your father
will look out for Dylan.

That's what a trustee does.

Look, you heard what dad said.

Jack McKay is a very powerful guy.

And if you were him
and you were broke

and your son had all that money,

wouldn't you want
to get your hands on it?

What happened, Dad?

l blew it, David.

So that's it?
That's all you can say?

There's nothing more to say.

l'm going apartment hunting
this afternoon.

So it's definitely over?

David, l tried.

l really tried, but l have a problem
with monogamy.

l can't just be with one woman.

l made a big mistake

and now l have to pay
the consequences.

This feels like deja vu.

David, l'm sorry. l am really sorry.

l wish that you didn't have
to go through this,

but we have some details
we have to work out.

l'm not moving to Portland, Dad.

Who said anything about Portland?

l'll get a two-bedroom
here in Beverly Hills.

You can stay here
until you graduate in June.

- Oh, that's real big of you.
- David.

What about Erin?

Look, l will always be Erin's father.

And you will always be
Erin's brother.

Oh, come on, when,
on Sundays at the zoo

with all the other divorced dads?
That's not enough for me.

David, l'm sorry.

l don't understand
why l have to lose a sister

because you can't keep your hands
off some girl in a white uniform.

David...

Look, l gotta go to school.

l hope you find
a real nice apartment, Dad.

l think you look great
in your bathing suit.

Thank you.

l mean, you're just beautiful
all around, you know?

Would you stop? We're at school.

Oh, Kel.
Listen, Kel, my dad really liked you

and he wanted me to invite you
to dinner again tonight

with Christine, him, myself.
What do you think?

- l don't know.
- Well, didn't you have a good time?

Yeah, yeah, l did.
l just-- l couldn't sleep last night.

- l kept thinking about Brenda and--
- Hey.

How are we gonna tell her?
What are we gonna tell her?

Kel, that's not really the kind of thing
that you rehearse.

She's right there.
You can tell right now if you want to.

Hi, guys. How was the party?

lt was fine.

Dylan, look,
l'm really sorry l couldn't come.

- lt's okay.
- l just had to study, that's all.

Right.

Listen, l'm late for class.

Kelly,

you didn't tell Dylan
what my dad said, did you?

No, of course not.

l should have been there.

Dylan needs friends right now.

Especially friends
who understand how bad it is

between him and his father.

You've met Dylan's dad?

Yeah, the first time Dylan and l
went out,

he took me back to the Bel Age.

Jack started screaming
and Dylan went right for the bottle.

Well, either Dylan's stronger
or Jack's a lot mellower,

because it wasn't
anything like that last night.

Jack told the funniest story
about how they used to order up

ten banana splits from Room Service
and see who could eat the most.

Well, l don't think
all of Dylan's memories

are quite that adorable.

Well, he wants to give
his dad a chance.

And l think that's great.

Yeah, l guess. l'll talk to you later.

You should have been there
last night.

l'm telling you, l was sitting
behind Jack Nicholson.

l'm just glad the Cavs covered
the spread those last few minutes--

Hey, guys,
glad you could make it last night.

Thank you very much. Remind me
to return the favour sometime.

Dylan, if l'd known
it was that important to you--

You'd have gone
to the game, anyway, Steve.

Hey, l'm sorry, man,
l just couldn't get off work.

Oh, it's okay. l know how it is.

l mean, Nat couldn't possibly get by
without you for one night.

- Come on, Dylan.
- l know what you're talking about.

Your dad doesn't want you
or your sister

within 50 feet of my old man.
He's a convicted felon.

lt's not true.

Nice to know
who your friends are.

Dylan.

Okay, that's the last piece.

- Now we wait 20 minutes and wash.
- Okay.

You look like a human Jell-O mould.

One more comment like that
and you're out the door, all right?

l don't care how l look now.
lt's later that l'm worried about.

lf your hair turns out the colour
of that stuff, you're in big trouble.

You're a big help.

l'm sorry. l shouldn't even be here.
l should be at home packing.

David, it's not gonna happen
that fast.

Yes, it is. As soon as he finds a place,
he's moving.

David, look, l might sound naive,

but why can't you just stay
with Kelly and Jackie?

Andrea, you are naive.
Jackie is divorcing my father.

She's not gonna want me around.

l'd be nothing but a reminder
of all the rotten things he did to her.

That is not true. Jackie likes you.

She knows this isn't your fault.

Trust me, she wouldn't go for it.

And even if she did,
my dad wouldn't allow it.

Well, how do you know
if you don't ask?

She's right.

Brandon, just got a soda delivery in.
Would you help Willie?

Yeah, sure. No problem.
Hey, did Duke stop by yet?

- What?
- Duke. He owes me 1 00 bucks.

Oh, God, Brandon.

l forgot to place the bet.

You forgot?

l feel terrible.

l mean, you know,
things got so busy last night.

l forgot to call. l'm sorry.

l don't believe it.

- You sure he forgot to place the bet?
- Steve, don't even think it.

Well, did he ever forget
to place a bet when you lost?

Here take this. This is the hundred
you would have won.

Nat, l can't take that.

Come on, l feel terrible.
Let me make it up to you.

Okay.

But not with money.

Okay, what do you want?

l want Duke's phone number, Nat.

l'm a big boy. lt doesn't make sense
for you to be booking my bets for me.

Oh, l don't know, Brandon.

Come on, Nat,
it's just a phone number.

l'm not going to be passing it out
around school.

That's not what l'm talking about.

You letting me book your bets,
l get to keep an eye on you.

But on your own,

it makes me nervous.

Nat. Nat, it's me here.

Brandon Walsh. Honours English.
Never been late for work.

- Boy Scout.
- Boy Scout.

What are you worried about?

Thank you for agreeing to meet
with us so quickly, Mr. Walsh.

No problem.

What can l do for you?

Well, l just have some questions.

Dylan and l have talked it over

and Dylan wants to explore
his legal options vis-a-vis the trust.

l want my dad
to manage my money, Jim.

That's not possible.

Given that your father was convicted
on federal racketeering charges,

his current legal status, l'm afraid,
would preclude him

from serving
as a licensed money manager

or a competent trustee.

l'm not talking about
managing the trust, Mr. Walsh.

l am talking about
dissolving the trust.

l think Dylan's mother
may have a problem with that.

She established an irrevocable trust,

whereby the money will stay there
until Dylan's 21 st birthday.

Dylan,

how about letting Mr. Walsh and me
have a couple minutes alone?

All right.

Mr. Walsh,

l want to thank you very much
for looking after my son

when l wasn't around,
but now that l'm here,

well, l'm afraid your services
are no longer necessary.

- You can't fire me.
- You're right, Mr. Walsh, l can't.

But you and l both know
it only takes three signatures

to open up
that so-called irrevocable trust

and release all that money.

Yours, my ex-wife's and Dylan's.

And if lris signs, you can hardly stand
in the way, can you, Jim?

l cannot, in good faith, support this.

You're talking about protecting him
from his own father.

Perhaps.

l feel fairly certain that your ex-wife
will never go along with this.

Well, why don't we just call her
and find out?

l mean, after all,
l think l know lris McKay

just a little bit better than you do.

Jim?

Hey, Bren,
have you seen my calculator?

What would l be doing
with your calculator?

l left it on my desk.

l haven't been in your room,
Brandon,

and l would appreciate it
if you stay out of mine.

All right, l'll bite. What's the matter?

Nothing.
l'm surprised you're studying.

lsn't there a basketball game on
or something?

Look, Bren,
l'm sorry l blew you off last night,

but the game went into overtime.
Forgive me.

Yeah, sure.

Bren, just because dad wouldn't let
you go to Dylan's little party,

don't take it out on me.

l could have gone to that party
if l wanted to.

Then why didn't you?

What if dad's right?

What if Dylan's father is,
like, a major bad guy?

Yeah, l know what you mean.

l was actually kind of glad
l had to work last night.

You know, no matter how close
Dylan and l got,

there was always a part of him
that l could never understand.

And now with his father
back in the picture,

it seems like he's even more distant.

Yeah, l know.

Maybe the rich are different.

Sparkling cider. Don't let anybody say
l'm corrupting my son.

What are we toasting to, anyway?

We are toasting to you and me.
My brains, your money, sky is the limit.

Aren't you being a little premature?
lris hasn't signed anything yet.

Oh, she'll sign, Dylan.
Believe me, she'll sign.

Would y'all excuse me?
l just need to finish my hair.

lt looks finished to me.

Oh, what do men know, anyway?
Excuse me.

Hello.

Hang on.

l'm gonna take this
in the other room.

Just make yourselves comfortable.
lt'll just take a minute.

lt sounds like your meeting
with Brenda's dad went very well.

lt depends who you talk to.

My dad,
he hears what he wants to hear.

lt's all up to my mom.

You don't sound very enthusiastic
about the whole thing.

l just care more about my old man
than l do the money.

lf this will bring us closer,
l'll go along for the ride.

Listen to me,
l told you l'm doing the best l can.

These things take time.

Are you ready?

Yeah, honey, l'll be right out.

- Just keep them entertained, okay?
- Okay.

Look,
l told you everything is under control.

Yes, we will get the money out
of the trust. A deal's a deal.

Now, you back off
until you hear from me, you got that?

Good.

l had a very good time tonight.

l told you so.
Although l would like to try it

without my dad and Christine
sometime.

Kind of like to get you alone,
all to myself.

lt's getting a little late. You sure
you don't wanna stay with me?

No. l've promised myself
not until we tell Brenda.

Which we had the perfect opportunity
to do today at school.

What if she stops
talking to me again?

What do you want?

You wanna pretend
there's nothing going on between us

just so Brenda
will keep talking to us?

No.

So we'll tell her tomorrow.

Together, after school.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Where have you been?

Do you know what time it is?

Yeah, l told you l was going out
with Dylan and his father for dinner.

Till 2:00 in the morning?

Since when do you wait up?

l wasn't really waiting up.
l couldn't sleep.

Did Mel leave?

Yeah, he's staying in a hotel
until he can find an apartment.

Probably with his girlfriend.

Mom, l'm sorry.
l shouldn't have gone out tonight.

No, no, no. lt's bad enough
you have to go through this at all.

l don't want you putting your life
on hold because of me.

Did you have fun?

Yeah, l did.

l can't believe Dylan and l
are finally together.

Well, at least one of us
is lucky in love, huh?

Yeah, l guess so.

What about Brenda?

She doesn't know yet.

Come here. Oh, come here.

David.

Oh, l'll go get a bottle.

l already got one.

Well, thank you.

You don't have to thank me.
She's my sister, too, you know?

Yes, she is.
And you're doing a great job.

l'm already starting to miss it.

Her crying in the middle of the nights,

her smiling in the morning
while she's spitting Cream of Wheat.

Mom, why does David have to go?

He doesn't.

- What?
- Erin is your sister.

Her home is your home.
You can stay as long as you like.

- Do you mean it?
- Yeah, l do.

Me too. You belong here.

Well, what about my parents?
What do l tell them?

l'll talk to Mel.

God knows he owes me something.

l think it's time l start collecting,
don't you?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Can l talk to you for a minute?
- Sure. What's up?

Do you wanna go to a movie tonight
or something?

l can't, Bren,
l've got plans with my dad.

- Well, maybe another night, then.
- Maybe.

Dylan, what's the matter?

Nothing. l just got
a lot of things on my mind.

Look, if it's because l didn't go
to the party, l'm sorry,

but let's not let your dad and my dad
come between us.

lt's just business, Bren.

Okay.

l better get to class.

- Well?
- lt looks great.

- You look gorgeous.
- You think so?

- Stunning.
- Oh, thanks, you guys. l gotta go.

Donna, her hair
doesn't look any different.

What? lt looks highlighty.

Well, whatever you say,
l didn't see it.

Then why'd you tell her
how gorgeous she looked?

My dad always taught me
that beautiful women

like to be told that they're smart,

and smart women
like to be told that they're beautiful.

So, what am l?

You're smart and beautiful.

Do me a favour, David.

Don't take anymore advice
from your father about women, okay?

- Okay.
- Thanks.

How'd you do last night
with all that action going on?

l did pretty well.
Thank you, my friend.

l'm meeting Dukie later on tonight
to pick up my winnings.

One hundred American dollars.

Now, do you still think basketball's
a sucker's bet?

As a matter of fact,
yes, l do, Brandon.

Hi, guys.

- Hi, Andrea.
- Hi, Andrea.

- Bye, Andrea.
- Hey, Steve.

Why don't you stop by
the Peach Pit later on?

Help me count all my cash.

Yeah.

So, Steve,
you notice anything different?

- You got new glasses?
- No.

A new vest?

No.

You did it, huh?

So you like it?

What? What did she do?

Well, it's definitely not that radical,
but it looks good on you.

Thank you, Steve.

What did you do? What did she do?

Nothing.

Men.

- Hey, man.
- Hey.

Listen, B, l want to apologise to you

for busting your chops
about that party thing.

That's okay. l probably
could have twisted Nat's arm.

The truth is, l didn't.

Anyway, you don't have to prove to me
anything about our friendship.

Man, you've already done that.

Yeah, same here.

Look, l don't think you're gonna be
seeing me around your house much.

Why? What's going on?
Are you okay?

l'm fine. lt's just l don't think Bren's
gonna want to see me for a while

or talk to me
or hear anything about me.

And l didn't want you to think
that l was avoiding you.

So it's finally over, huh? Again.

Yeah, this is it.

Okay.

Do me a favour?

Look out for your sister, man.
She'll need it.

Hi.

- Hi.
- What's going on?

We need to talk to you.

Come on in.

Why don't we take a walk instead?

Let me get my jacket.

Okay, let's go.

Brenda, please try to understand
how much you mean to us, all right?

l know this is hard for you, Bren.
lt's hard for all of us.

Don't touch me.

Dylan, you have made your choice

l have to live with that
and l should've seen it coming,

but l don't have to listen to it anymore.
l'm going home, okay?

No, Brenda, we need to tell you
something else.

Well, l don't wanna hear it.
l've heard enough.

You're gonna have to, Bren,

because neither of us
can stand to lie to you anymore.

This summer,
while you were in Paris--

Look, l told you
l was with a girl, right?

Kelly was the girl.

l thought you guys
were my friends?

l loved you. l trusted you both.

- Brenda, please.
- We didn't plan this, Bren.

No, of course you didn't plan it, Dylan,
you just let it happen.

And you lied to me, both of you,
for months and months.

When l broke up with you,
you made it seem

like Kelly was just some girl
you picked to go out with.

You made it seem so innocent,
like it was my fault.

Neither of us wanted to hurt you.

You didn't care
about how l felt at all, Kelly.

That's not true.

- Did you two sleep together?
- No.

And why should l believe you?

Because it's the truth.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because we owe it to you, Bren.

Don't you think that we all owe
ourselves something more than this,

that we can start again
from some place honest?

Honesty? ls that what you think
this is about, Dylan?

l don't think so.

Look, l hate you both.
Never talk to me again.

She'll be all right.

l hope so.

Will we?
