Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 4, Episode 7 - Moving Targets - full transcript

- You guys, let's just start without her.
- No.

lf this is gonna be our official sorority
meeting, then we're gonna do it right.

Here we go. One for you,
and one for you, and one for you.

- Thank you.
- And one for me.

- Sorry l'm late.
- New dress?

Oh, this old thing?
Well, it's not too incredible or anything.

lt was on sale at Maxwell's.

The best part is l bought it
with my very first paycheck.

Working girl.

- Yeah, well, l hope he likes it.
- He?

You mean she hasn't told you
about Stuart yet?



You're going out with a guy
named Stuart?

l know, but you're gonna love him.
He is very sweet.

How did you meet him?

Actually, my father set us up.

Hold on. We will get the dirt on this

and other major matters
right after the meeting.

Well, how long does
a sorority meeting last?

Well, at the Alpha House,
the secretary reads the minutes.

Then there's old business,
new business.

Then we adjourn the meeting,

and we see who got pinned
and who lost their virginity.

Well, then, l hereby move
for this meeting to be adjourned.

- l second it.
- l second it.

lt's unanimous. Meeting adjourned.



So did anyone get pinned or lose
their virginity over this weekend?

Well, now, Kelly,
l lost my virginity a couple years ago.

Well, l was just wondering
if you and Stuart

had taken a ride
on the roller coaster yet.

No.

But we're going dancing again tonight,
so check back with me tomorrow.

Andrea, let's face it,
we're the last of a dying breed.

Well, from what l hear
from Brandon,

Andrea and her dorm adviser
are getting pretty chummy.

- Dan's a nice guy.
- ls that it?

For now. Get back to me
at the end of the semester.

Well, my love life is a mess,
as usual.

- Thought you liked John Sears.
- And l do.

The timing just couldn't be worse.

The night l break up with Dylan,
he gets carjacked.

- Poor Dylan.
- Well, at least he wasn't hurt.

Well, l think he's feeling
a lot better today.

- Why? Did you talk to him?
- No.

But Brandon did,
and l think they found his car.

Think you'll recognize it, man?
You only had the car a day.

Look, Brandon, how many 91 1 's
you figure they got in this lot?

l don't know, ten, 1 2.
lt is L.A., after all.

What, you think it's right here
under this sheet?

Damn it.

You should be thankful
this isn't your car.

lt's an ugly car. lt's like a nightmare
and it's getting worse.

There's a cop over by that shed.
He probably knows something.

Right.

Excuse me, officer. Listen,
l got a call, said you found my car.

From who?

l don't know. Some guy called
and said you recovered my Porsche.

No Porsches came in this week.

Are you sure, man?

The guy called me up and gave me
the serial number off the engine

and said the car was right here.

Let me see your registration.

Could it be in another impound yard,
maybe?

Seems there was a little mistake,
boys.

The car we recovered
was a Honda Civic.

Wait, you're telling me that l came
down here to this hellhole for nothing?

You don't even have my car?

Sorry, there was a screwup.

A screwup. From the police
department? l'm shocked.

Hey-- Hey. Hey, l'm talking to you.

Listen, he got carjacked
a couple nights ago.

He's just not himself.

Yeah, well, tell your buddy to cool it
before he gets into some real trouble.

Yeah, l'll do my best. Thanks.

- What is so funny?
- Nothing.

Everything. l don't know.

Normally, l'm a real sourpuss.
But when l'm with you, l get giddy.

Well, l have that effect
on depressive types.

- Oh, okay.
- Thank you, Mr. Carson.

You know, you can call me Stuart.
Unless you still hate my name.

No, l'm getting used to it,
but what if l call you Stewie?

The last person who called me that
was my mother.

Scratch that. What about Stu?

As in beef stew?

Well, it's meaty, it's hearty,
it sticks to your ribs.

Oh, that's not working
for you either, is it?

My father used to call me Stu.

But then he developed
some other nicknames.

Like what?

When l dropped out of college,
he called me The Bum.

When l was trying
to promote rock concerts,

he called me The Hippie.

When l tried to get into commercial
real estate, he called me The Fool.

l don't think you wanna know
what he started calling me

when l tried to buy
into some racehorses. Oh, man.

l've never seen that side
of your father.

Well, his true personality only comes
out when he's lecturing me.

How about if l just call you Stuart?

That's good.

Now, could you whisper that
in my ear?

No.

Hey, you night crawIers,

it's 2 a,m,, and time
for the David Silver Show.

Here's David,

Andrea.

Andrea, it's getting late.

l was having
the most amazing dream.

Was there yogurt involved?

No, we were flying. lt was great.

Only now l don't have the strength
to put my clothes on.

So stay.

- No, l can't.
- Stay.

l can't, l can't.

l stayed last night
and l almost missed my first class.

You are not the most dependable
alarm clock.

l wish it didn't have to be this way.

Today l was with my friends

and they kept talking
about their boyfriends.

l couldn't even say a word.

Andrea, we both agreed
it's for the best we don't go public.

lt's not fair.

l mean...

lt's not like
you're my teacher anymore.

l looked at the college guidelines
on resident advisers.

They do not have
a non-fraternization rule.

No, not specifically,

but how it's interpreted
is a whole other matter.

What's the worst thing that could
happen if they find out about us?

Oh, l don't know.

And l don't wanna know.

Do you?

Sleep well.

Thanks.

- Bye.
- Hey, invite me in?

- What?
- lnvite me in.

Yeah, right.
My parents are probably inside

waiting with the lights turned down.

Good. lf they're up, l'll just explain
why l can't bear to live without you.

Stuart,
l think we'd better call it a night.

Easy for you. l'm not letting you go.

What are you doing?
You cannot come in.

- You're coming back to my place.
- No, Stuart.

Put me down.

Your wish is my command.

So...

Did l sweep you off your feet?

Look, this is so good. l don't think
that we should rock the boat.

l don't wanna rock the boat.

l wanna sink the boat.

Go.

Brenda, we have to talk.

Look, l know l'm late.

We just lost track of the time,
and l'm really sorry.

Well, that's a start.

We have to lay down
some very clear rules, young lady.

l don't get it. What's the problem?

l mean, l'm working,
l'm going to school.

You guys just go on with your lives,
and l promise l'll be fine.

Brenda, this is the third time this week
you've come in at 3 a.m.

Well, look at it this way.

Consider yourselves lucky
l came home at all.

Good night.

Well, things are back to normal
at the old Walsh household.

Mom's talking to herself.

Dad's coming to me for advice,
and you're back in the old doghouse.

No, l'm one foot out the door.

So, what's really going on
with you and Stuart?

- What do you think is going on?
- Oh, l don't know.

He's rich, he's good-looking,
he's rich.

There's gotta be a catch.

You know,
you're worse than Mom and Dad.

Are you saying
this guy's all together?

Brandon,
let me put it to you this way.

There's never been anyone
in my life,

including Dylan McKay,
who knows how to...

- How to what?
- l'm trying to find the right word.

How to woo.

Stuart gives good woo?

The best.

ln that case, does he have
a twin sister who's as rich as he is?

And if you've done the reading,
don't worry.

You will not fall below
the Mendoza Line for a grade of C.

- Yeah?
- The Mendoza Line?

- Was that in the chapters?
- Mendoza Line?

No, that's not in your reading,
will not be on the test.

So if there's nothing else,
look, life is short, study hard.

Class dismissed.

lt looks like l'm gonna be in all night
studying my notes. Wanna come over?

l don't think so.
l'm not gonna sweat this one.

Steve, you're gonna brick this test.

You're gonna find yourself below
his Mendoza Line, whatever that is.

l don't think so. You see, the KEG
House has this one-hour super cram.

Guaranteed to bring you
up to speed on any exam.

One hour?

Yeah, l can let you in on some
of these frat secrets if you'd like.

l think l'll stay away from
your shortcuts, Mr. Legacy Key.

Mr. Begging-
Mrs.-Teasley-to-Graduate.

ls this why you took down
Professor Randall's office hours?

Maybe you're planning
on sucking up a little bit, huh?

No, l'm not planning on sucking up.

l don't wanna be another face
in the crowd.

There's nothing wrong
with personalizing

the student-teacher relationship,
l read that somewhere.

- l think it was Dante.
- ln other words, you are sucking up.

Give me a break, will you?

Between Brenda's undeclared war
on my parents

and Dylan's psychosis,
l don't know what's going on.

lt's gotta be rough
getting your car jacked.

Yeah, it's not only that.

Kelly tells him she wants
to start dating other people

like an hour before this kid
sticks a gun in his face.

Don't tell anyone, though,
it's top-secret.

lt's no secret at the KEG House.

Everyone knows John Sears
is going out with her.

So you figure if the insurance
company is willing to settle,

then there's not much chance
of ever finding it, am l right?

The claims officer said

that if a stolen vehicle
is not recovered in the first 48 hours,

it's already at a chop shop
or halfway down to Guadalajara.

l hate to admit it,
but you were right, Jim.

l shouldn't have bought that car
in the first place.

You're covered for a rental vehicle
until you wanna buy a new one.

Any idea what you might want?

Oh, l don't know.
l was thinking maybe a tank.

Urban assault vehicle,
that kind of thing.

l'm glad to see you still have
a sense of humor.

ls that what this is?

You know, in a situation like that,
there's nothing you could have done.

Well, l don't know, Jim. l mean,
l could've jammed through the light.

l could've honked my horn,
backed up and knocked the guy over,

and l didn't do any
of those things, man. l froze.

l thought maybe the kid was lost,
you know, then he whips out this gun.

l got the barrel right in my face,
and l'm looking down that little hole.

And l saw my whole life in that hole.

But he didn't care.

He was ready to kill me and there
wasn't a damn thing l could do about it.

You know, it might not be such
a bad idea to get counseling.

lt really helped Brenda.

Actually, l...

l got something else in mind.

Hey, you're good.

Dodge City, you better be.

Mom, l told you, you cannot park
in the apartment manager's spot.

He told me it was okay.

- Hi, Jackie.
- Hi, Donna.

You're doing David's laundry again?

Why not?
lt's the highlight of my social life.

Oh, and l ordered pizza
for you guys.

One vegetarian
and one with pepperoni.

Well, thank you.

Wow, your mom is so great.

Yeah, you don't have to listen
to her constant complaining

about how miserably lonely she is
and how l never come to visit,

and how awful it is
sharing Erin with Mel.

lt's enough to drive me crazy.

Look who's here.

Hi, baby doll.

Erin, you are so precious.

Well, we're just
one big, happy family.

One big, happy, dysfunctional family.

Don't listen to her.
She's a psych major.

Oh, l understand,
but l'd rather cut myself shaving

than watch the Clippers lose
from the nosebleed section.

But, no, l appreciate you
thinking of me, thanks.

All right, bye-bye.

How you doing?
Cory Randall. You are?

Brandon Walsh. l'm in your class.
Nosebleed section. Seat 1 25.

Great, great. Thanks for coming by.

l wish more of my students would
come by and introduce themselves.

- Why don't you have a seat?
- Thanks.

So l take it you're into sports, huh?

Yeah, why not? By studying them,
l get a lot of free tickets.

l know, l was the sports editor
on my high school newspaper.

Well, good. So you probably know
the origins of the Mendoza Line.

Actually, l ran a check on my computer
last night and came up empty.

Try the sports page.

So, what, are you a little uptight
about this test?

No, not really.

But if you wanna show me
an advance copy, l wouldn't complain.

- Brandon, you read Chapter 2, right?
- Sure.

You're already in the hall of fame.

- Hi there.
- Hi.

ln the market
for a used StairMaster?

Only if it steps two.

l really enjoyed last night.

So l noticed.

Look at this. We could buy
an almost new, king-sized waterbed.

l don't think we should consider
buying common property

when we can't even hold hands
in public.

- Andrea--
- You better turn away from me.

- Somebody might be watching us.
- You're not being fair.

l'm not?

Excuse me, what about you?

Every time l think about us,
l don't understand it.

Why is it we have to hide
behind closed doors?

l mean, are you so ashamed
that you're going out with a freshman?

Of course not.

Well, why is it all we can do
is do it in your room?

Look, it's just...

You know...

People talk.

Look, we can't go on this way.
What are we gonna do?

Brando, l think l actually aced
my first college exam.

Steve, what's the matter with you?

l just asked you
about social structure,

which is what the last section
of the test was on,

and you haven't told me
what your answers were.

l wrote GAlL.

You wrote GAlL? Who's GAlL?

Goals, Adaptation,
lntegration and Law.

- Very good, Steve. l'm impressed.
- You know.

Hey, Dr. Henderberry.

That's what you get
when you take the KEG super cram.

Hey, Silver. What's going on?

Moby Dick, Eight hundred
and twenty-two pages.

lf l can get halfway through it,
l may not get bounced.

You're gonna get bounced.

Don't worry, just take a load off.
The whale did it.

- The whale did it.
- Thanks.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, John. Hi, Kelly.

Hey, Steve.

Charlie Dixon goes to Leslie Summer
and says, ''Listen, with your blessing,

we'd like this year's
KEG-Alpha homecoming float

to reflect something
a little more relevant.''

So, what are we doing?

A tribute to Velcro
and other household fasteners.

That's good. Who thought of that?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- You're a funny guy.
- l'm trying.

So when do l graduate
from phone date to the real thing?

Maybe after midterms, if you're nice.

lf l'm ni--? l'm nice.

l thought you broke up with McKay.

l did. But right now,
l need to talk to him.

Kelly, l'm not just
doing doughnuts here, am l?

You know, spinning my wheels,
chasing my vestigial tail?

You're a funny guy.

Hey.

- How you doing?
- l'm doing.

Well, it's good to see you
back on campus.

And why is it good to see me
back on campus?

Don't do this, Dylan.

l still wanna be part of your life.

Kel, what do you wanna go
and do something like that for?

- My life sucks, and you know it.
- Dylan.

What do you want me to say?

None of this has been easy on me,
l'll tell you that.

But l'm not gonna get myself
in another situation

where some little punk with a big gun
can do a number on me.

l'm about to pop a pie
in the microwave,

if you wanna hang around.

No, thanks, l'll troll for it later.
l gotta hit the books.

What about you, Brenda?

l did my studies this afternoon.

No, l think she meant,
do you want a piece of pie?

No, l can't. l have to go.
Stuart's waiting for me.

Guys, l promised
that l would meet him for coffee.

We won't be late.

Be firm but gentle, Dad.
l think they like each other.

l'm getting that impression.

l mean, what is the crime here?

You set us up. What,
do you want us to hate each other?

No, that's not the point.

This whole thing with Stuart
is going way too fast.

Honey, just give yourselves time
to come up for air.

l mean, you've got other things
going on in your life.

l'm keeping up with everything.

What about him?

Larry Carson
is a pretty demanding boss.

l can't imagine he's too happy about
his son gallivanting around every night.

Hello. Yes, he's right here.

Thank you.
Well, that sounds wonderful.

lt's Larry Carson.

He's inviting us to his place in Bel Air
for brunch on Saturday.

ls he really?

He called it a triple date.

l rest my case.

Okay, folks, read them and weep.
Nice work.

For those of you who did well,
have a nice weekend.

For those of you who did not,
shame on you.

Bro, l got a B. l told you, you should
have joined a fraternity, man.

l will follow my brothers
through the gates of hell.

l love college.

- How'd you do?
- l got an A-plus.

So you did.

What's this?
A note from Professor Randall?

Could you meet me tomorrow
at 1 :30?

A Saturday meeting?

How cozy.

Well, it's obvious you've become
the teacher's pet.

How about
the Santa Monica promenade?

There must be at least
a dozen films there.

No, half the students from our dorm
will be out there cruising.

Hey, what about the Nuart Theatre?

They're showing
a D.H. Lawrence double feature film.

No.

- You don't wanna go see that.
- l didn't say that.

No, but you were thinking
that it's just the kind of movie

people from your department
would wanna go and see.

Look, l came here
because l wanted to ask you out.

On a real date
in front of real people.

But you gotta decide
what we're doing.

l just need...

l just need time to think about this.

l mean, it's not easy going public.
Every place feels so risky.

See? So it's not just me.

We could always do your room.

Did anybody see you come in here?

No.

How are you at Scrabble?

- You want another bite?
- No.

No? You don't want another bite?

- Look over here, silly.
- l think she's had enough.

Well, l just like to make sure
she's well-fed,

because who knows what goes
into her after Mel takes her.

Well, l'll clean her up
because Mel should be here any time.

Thanks, honey. l want her ready
and me long gone before he gets here.

Dylan's on his way over too.

You're kidding?
You guys are back on?

Well, l said to him,
''l still wanna be part of your life.''

And today, he called me up
and he asked me to go out on a date,

to the gun range.

Oh, how romantic.

What was l supposed to say?

According to Chapter 4
of my psych book,

you're going through
post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Well, you just be careful there.

l will. l'm just going to keep
him company.

That must be him.

l'll get it.

Hi, Dave. Donna, you look great.

- Thanks, Mel.
- Hey, Dad. Hi, Nina.

Who's Nina?

You working out or something?
You look big, nice and buff.

Well, it's Nina's doing.
She's a fitness fanatic.

- Where's my little darling?
- l assume you don't mean me.

l'm sorry,
l didn't think you'd still be here.

- Nina, this is Jackie, Erin's mother.
- And don't you forget it.

Jackie, you're just
making this worse than it is.

Oh, l am, huh? Well, tough.

Have a nice weekend.
You certainly started mine out right.

Your mother just won't let us
get on with our lives.

Can you blame her?

How could you
bring your girlfriend here, Mel?

- l can't win.
- Yeah.

Kelly, they were gonna meet
sooner or later.

You are just
as bad as your father, aren't you?

Well, you're just
as neurotic as your mother.

Excuse me, can l say something?

- No.
- No.

Fine.

All right, your turn.

Sorry, you know l'm for gun control.

Yeah, well if you wanna
control your gun, use both hands.

Come on, you'd be a fool
not to learn this.

Dylan, don't call me that.

Kelly, there are 2 million handguns
in Los Angeles alone.

How soon before one of them
is pointed at you?

Now, come on, do one clip.
lt won't kill you.

There you go. Get it like that.

Square yourself up
to the target like l did.

Now, just aim
and squeeze the trigger.

lt's gonna be loud, isn't it?

Yeah, but just expect it.
The first one's always the worst.

Where do l aim?

Hit the target. Go for the center.

l can't do this.

Hey, what do you want?
You wanna be a statistic?

You wanna be a victim?

l mean, Kelly, the writing
is spray painted on the wall.

You got as much a chance of taking
a bullet as being in a car accident.

Am l not supposed
to worry about that?

lt's not my problem,
let other people worry?

l'm worried about you.

Don't be.
l'm getting pretty good at this.

What's wrong with you?

l'm just scared.

l'm scared.

That's why l'm learning
to protect myself.

Can't we just get out of here,
please?

Haven't you been listening
to anything l've said?

What do you want me to say?

lt's a violent world out there
and nobody's safe.

l didn't make the rules,
but no one's safe.

Not you, not me, nobody.

Thank you.

Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh.
The Carsons are by the pool.

lf you'll just follow the path
through the garden.

Thank you.

Where have you guys been?
We've been waiting for you.

We thought you lost track of time.

- Are we late?
- No, you're not late.

You're as punctual as ever.

Brenda, stop giving your father
a hard time.

How you doing, Jim?

Terrific, Larry.
Your house is overwhelming.

Well, thank you. We like it.

- You must be Cindy.
- Hi, very nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.
And this is my wife, Vivian.

Hello, Vivian.

Oh, are these for me?
They're beautiful.

Your gardens are beautiful.

l have never seen
so many Oceana roses.

We're going to get along fabulously.

Stuart.

Stuart, get your rude self
out of the pool right now

and come and say hi
to the Walshes.

- Well, at least he didn't call me Stu.
- Hey, relax. lt's only my parents.

- Hi, how you doing?
- Hi.

Just let me dry off.

- This is going to be a long afternoon.
- lt sure is.

Hey--

Mom, you don't have to apologize.

l'm just so ashamed,
walking out like l did.

l didn't even say goodbye to Erin.

- I miss her so much,
- Well, you'll see her Sunday night.

l hate the weekends.

Mom, it's gonna be all right, okay?

- Andrea.
- Hey, gents.

- Kelly's looking for you.
- That's why we're here.

What's going on?
We haven't seen you around.

l've been involved.

- lnvolved? lnvolved is good.
- lnvolved is good.

Yeah, involved is good.

But l feel like l'm trying to get
into an ice-cold pool step by step.

l know l'm gonna love it,
it's just the getting there that's agony.

Well, call me a guy,
but in situations like this,

l usually opt for the old cannonball.

The flying cannonball.
lnto the deep end, preferably naked.

- Naked is good.
- l'll take that into consideration.

- Just remember, naked is good.
- Naked is good.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Kel. What's going on?

- Thanks for coming.
- No problem, what's up?

Dylan. He's acting very scary.

l'm sure he's gonna be fine, Kel.

Not if he's spending all of his time
at a target range shooting guns.

ls that what he's doing?

Believe me, Steve, it's not wow.

lt's like ever since the carjacking,
he's gone gun-crazy.

l wouldn't be surprised
if he's bought one.

Listen, Kel, l grew up hunting.

Owning a gun
is not the worst thing a guy can do.

Besides, it's just a fact of life,

ever since the riots, people in L.A.
have been arming themselves.

Yeah, l get it.
Because this is the Wild West?

lt's the good guys and the bad guys
killing each other every day, right?

- l wouldn't go that far.
- Well, maybe Dylan would.

Guys, he's acting
like he's Rambo or something.

When he shaves his head and starts
talking to the mirror, then we'll worry.

Brandon, you've seen him,
he is not in a good way.

l'll admit it,
he's had some bad moments.

Bad moments?

l haven't seen him this angry,
including when his father died.

l mean, l'm just afraid that he's gonna
hurt himself or somebody else.

All right, assuming you're right,
what do you want us to do about it?

Just go over there.
Talk to him, see for yourself.

Because he sure
will not listen to me.

l've gotta go to campus
and talk to this professor.

- But we'll get with him today.
- Yeah.

- Thanks.
- He's our friend too.

Here you are.

Am l the only one
having seconds around here?

That would be thirds, Dad.

Jim, l hate to talk business,

but since l have you here,
l hope you don't mind taking a look

at the preliminary numbers
on this Plano project.

Well, l think this is my cue to exit.

Hey, Stuart,
this mall project involves you too.

During the week it does.

But right now, if you don't mind,
the kids would like to be excused.

Brenda, would you tell him

that with his attitude,
he's never gonna amount to much?

Stuart, with your attitude, you're--
What was that again, Larry?

Go on, get out of here.

Oh, they are so cute together.

- Hey, thanks for coming down.
- You bet.

Believe me, l wouldn't have
brought you down here on Saturday

if it wasn't a front-burner issue.

Not a problem. What's going on?

Well, it's about
one of your classmates.

His name is D'Shawn Hardell.

Although, really,
he just likes the letter D on his jersey.

Right, right, l read about this kid.
Hot prospect from Texas,

just transferred here from some JC.

Yeah, unfortunately his academic
game isn't what it should be.

To say that this guy
needs a little coaching

would be an extreme
understatement.

So you want me to tutor him?

Well, l'm interviewing
five students for the job.

Look, from your test,

obviously you've got a firm grasp
of the fundamentals

and l know
you're a fellow sports pig,

so that makes you
a candidate for the job.

Cool.

l should tell you something.
D'Shawn's not dumb.

He's got it in him to be a fine student.
He's just not motivated.

- So it could be a struggle.
- l'm game.

And there's gonna be
a little pressure too.

lf he's gonna be eligible
to walk on the court,

he's gotta get
at least a C in my class.

- The Mendoza Line.
- That's right.

Named after Mario Mendoza,
a bad-bat, good-glove infielder

whose lifetime batting average
was 200.

A statistical measure
for major-league competence.

lf you don't mind,
l'll just cancel the other interviews.

- You mean l got the job?
- Slam dunk.

All right. Thanks.

Okay.

Great shot.

Pinball's one of the few things
l'm really good at.

At least, according to my father.

Well, it must be very hard
to try and live up to his expectations.

l gave that up a long time ago.

l just let my dad write me off
as the idiot child.

Well, that's his loss.

But l must be maturing,
because for the first time,

l'm really enjoying
being back in the family fold.

l think you helped.

A lot.

Well, like l said,
l have that effect on depressive types.

Hold on, hold on.
My parents are just outside.

Oh, so now the shoe's
on the other foot?

Well, l don't care. Let them find out.

l love--

Hey, is this where the party's at?

Hey, either one of you guys
D'Shawn Hardell?

- Who's asking?
- Brandon Walsh.

Professor Randall told me
l could meet him here.

Oh, yeah, man. You're my tutor.

- That's me.
- Sweet.

- How much they paying you?
- Not as much as they're paying you.

That's cold.

And l could have had a lot better deal
at Arizona State, you understand?

But it was a numbers thing,
and l was man out.

So now...

l'm a Condor.

Hey, right on the glass.

Yeah.

- Hardell.
- Hey, call me D'Shawn, coz.

D'Shawn, we gotta hit the books,
man.

Randall wants us to jump right in
and get ready for Monday's class.

Don't hold the ball. Shoot it.

Come on, man,
we've got studying to do.

- The ball.
- Go on, now.

Only if you can make that shot.

You got it, man.

He's hard. Brandon is hard.

Let's go, two on two.
l'll take my tutor.

- Think fast.
- Bingo, come on now.

Come on, give it up.

Donna, did Dylan call for me?

Great, Kelly's home.

No, only John Sears.

Look, she's gonna notice Erin,

so just be up-front
and lose the attitude.

Come on.

Heave-ho.

Hi, Kelly. Say hi to Kelly, Erin.

- You're babysitting?
- Well, it's just for the afternoon.

This is incredible.

Mel strikes again, huh?
He dumped her on you.

Look, just yell all you want
and get it over with, okay?

Yeah, l will.
Because l think your father is sick.

Your mom's a space case
half the time.

- At least she's trying, David.
- Yeah, well, so is he.

You guys, please.

- She started it.
- Oh, yeah, l started it.

Now, neither of you started it.
This is your parents' war, not yours.

- She's right.
- Yeah.

l think that for Erin's sake,

we need to both remember
not to fight our parents' battles.

All right.

That's better.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Your note said to meet you
in the Union for a date.

So here l am.

Good boy.

Where we going? Oxnard?

No, right here.

No.

Not quite here.

Would you say that
this is the exact center of the room?

lt appears to be, yes.

What kind of date is this?

Just say, it is my version
of a flying cannonball.

l just don't think
we're gonna be able to defer, Larry.

l'm gonna have to run
those numbers again.

Larry, are you still hounding
this poor man?

They're ready to leave
and we're going out tonight.

Okay, the boss has spoken.

Now we just have to find Brenda.

Well, l understand that she and Stuart
are going out tonight too.

Again?

Listen, l gotta tell you,

l think that Brenda is the best thing
that ever happened to my son.

- She is. She really is.
- But every night?

Don't think they're burning
the candle at both ends?

Are you kidding?
l wish l had all that energy.

Listen, you sit. l'll go find the kids.

Thanks.

Would you like some coffee?

Coffee, please.

Stuart?

Stuart?

Hey.

Where's Brenda?
The Walshes are leaving.

Well, she's taking a shower, Dad.

- Dad, l am over 21 .
- But she's not.

Hey, show a little respect.

Now, get yourselves
discreetly downstairs

and you can take her home.

Why? We're going out.

Not tonight.
Her parents want her to stay in.

Dad, l have tickets.

Hey, you guys have
the rest of your lives to be together.

Stuart--

Mr. Carson.

Hello, honey.

Oh, my God.

Stuart, next time,
get her to use the pool house.

l don't think her father
is as tolerant as l am, huh?

- Fellas, what's happening?
- Looking for you, baby.

Glad you made it. Otherwise,
we'd eat this by ourselves.

- No chance.
- What's with the Jeep?

Turning over a new leaf?

No, it's just a rental
till Manny gets the Speedster going.

Come on in.

Watch it, man, the cheese.

So, gentlemen, what is happening?

Nothing, man.
How were the waves?

They were about 3-foot.

Excellent sets, though.
Nice breaker to the left.

From out there,
the city seems almost mellow.

l can almost imagine that.

Yeah, the problem is, eventually,
you gotta paddle back in, so...

- You look a lot better, man.
- Yeah, l feel better.

ln fact, l was thinking
of taking some classes on Monday.

l heard you've been spending time
at the gun range popping off caps.

Yeah.

Let me guess. Kelly asked you to come
over here and talk to me, right?

She's just concerned, that's all.

She thinks you've gone Waco, man.

She thinks
you're stockpiling firepower here.

Guys, she's overreacting.

l mean, come on, she's feeling guilty,
and l think we all know why.

l'll get the plates,
you guys grab the drinks.

Sounds good.

A Walther PPK 9 mm kurtz.
Excellent weapon.

Stopping power, size, elegance.

Fourteen in the clip, one in the pipe.

l tried other guns,
but really, it was a no-brainer.

That's very unique.

Denny from the target range
says you're a damn good shot.

Hold on, Mr. McKay.

Denny never told me your age.

Unless you're over 21 ,
l'm afraid l can't sell you a handgun.

Sorry, that's law.

Wait, you're telling me
l can't buy peace of mind?

How about a shotgun?

Don't think it'll fit
in my glove compartment.

Listen, this city's full of 1 5-year-olds
with MAC-1 0 street sweepers.

l don't think anybody
is checking their lD.

Hey, believe me,
l sympathize with your situation,

but l can't help you.

At least, not here.

But after hours, there are a lot of guys
who can get you anything you want.

Okay.

l'll see you after hours.
