Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 5, Episode 22 - Alone at the Top - full transcript

Hello.

Hi, uh, Mrs. Pruit,
it's Valerie again.

Um, has Ray gotten back, yet?

Oh, hi, Valerie.

Hi.

I think you may've
just missed him, honey.

Just let me check.

Thank you.

You sure picked
yourself a doozy.

Just tell her I'm not home.

Sorry, honey,
he just pulled out.



Has he been getting my messages?

Every last one.

Hold on just a second.

Can you tell him that I called

and it's very important
that he gets back to me?

I sure will.

Mr. Sanders, come on in.

Hello, Val.

Why don't you call me Rush?

Okay, Rush, come on in.

Wow, quite a dorm you got here.

Thank you.

Can I offer you a drink?

Whatever you're having.



Shirley Temple? Hardly.

Okay, I'll have a
scotch on the rocks.

Coming right up.

Well, tell me,
what's on your mind?

I just thought we ought
to get to know each other

a little better.

Really?

For what possible reason?

Does there have to be a reason?

Valerie, honey, I'm old
enough to be your father.

And I'm sure a young lady
like you doesn't get too lonely

on cold winter nights.

Okay, I'll be honest with you.

You have something I want.

Ah, what is that?

The Peach Pit After Dark.

I want to take it
off your hands.

You?

I'm sorry, it's not for sale.

Oh, come on.

I've heard
everything is for sale.

Is that so?

Actually, everything
is negotiable.

Okay...

then let's negotiate.

How much further?

Why are you asking me
so many fool questions?

Don't you trust me?

Shh, they're here.

Is that Donna's voice
I just heard? Yes, it is.

Surprise!

What's going on here?

Well, just a little party

to welcome you
back to the real world.

Yeah, we thought
we'd lost you forever.

Yeah, you almost did.

But never underestimate
the power of love.

Uh-oh.

Welcome back, Kel.

I should be saying
the same thing to you.

It's been a long time since
you've set foot on this campus.

Yeah, it must've been
a different lifetime.

I'm glad you're here.

Me, too.

Come on, guys, let's eat up.

We gotta get back to class.

Well, I hate to not eat
and run, but I got to go.

Donna, Donna,
Kelly just got here.

Sorry, Kel.

I told Ray I'd meet
him at the club

to have a quick sound
check... Catch you at home?

Okay. Thanks, for everything.

You know what, Donna?

I need a ride somewhere.

Can you take me? Let's go.

Thanks. Later, Chief.

I think Donna's joined her
own cult, the Ray Pruit Society.

David, did you leave your bike
parked on the rack at the dorm?

No, ma'am, I don't own a bike.

Lucky for you, 'cause no
one else does now either.

What happened?

Someone stole four
bikes this morning,

including mine, a
brand new Lite Speed.

Ouch.

Whoever it was knew
what they were after.

Took all the good
ones and left the junk.

Did you tell campus security?

Like that's gonna do any good.

Talking to campus security is
like dealing with Barney Fife.

Better watch out, Mr. President.

They're gonna say
you're soft on crime.

The only thing around
here I'm soft on is you.

Oh... Aw...

Don't you believe in knocking?

Don't you believe in
returning phone calls?

Don't take it personally, Val.

How am I supposed
to take it, Ray?

Luckily, I have
a forgiving nature

and a positive mental attitude.

Why don't you take your positive
mental attitude out the door?

You know, you're really
burying yourself, Ray.

Oh, is that what I'm doing?

It would be in your best
interest to start treating me

with a little more respect.

Dinner.

Val, hi. Hey.

I, uh, just dropped
by to say hi to our guy.

Well, please stay. I
have enough for three.

Uh, no, you guys go ahead.

Bon appetit.

Bye.

So, what'd she
mean by "our guy"?

Who knows?

You can't take anything
she says seriously.

Well, I like her.

She's got style.

Mm...

♪ Can't be delivered
to your boy ♪

♪ 'Cause you just
found more and more ♪

I just talked to my parents.

My bike was covered
on their insurance,

but they won't buy
me another one.

Can you believe that?

Anyone who rides a bike worth
more than the GNP of Bora Bora

is asking to have it ripped off.

Gee, Lenny, don't be
sympathetic or anything.

I'm used to it.

You're up, Ziminski.

I was born "up," son.

♪ Take care, a million
miles away, take care ♪

Oh, man...

Good shot. You win. Let's go.

No, no. We're playing
best two-out-of-three, Clare.

Hey, you better settle in
for the long haul, Clare.

At least let me change
your CD, all right?

Uh, it's not a CD. It's vinyl.

Whatever.

Don't touch the
turntable. I'll do it.

Captain Beefheart?!

Put that back...

in alphabetical order, please.

Sorry.

Does it, uh, go under
the C's or the B's?

It's a cool collection, huh?

Yeah, it's groovy.

Man, check this out.

Analog is where it's at.

Yeah, well, it's not just me.

Pearl Jam issues
everything on vinyl.

Have a good game, guys.

I'm out of here.

♪ You couldn't know
what true love is ♪

Clare, Clare, why
are you leaving?

You just got here.

I'm glad you've met some
new friends in the dorm,

but this guy is
tres weird, okay?

Oh, come on. I'm weird.
You're weird. Everybody's weird.

Speak for yourself.

Au revoir.

Hope it was nothing I said.

No, she just gets moody
sometimes. Let's play.

Wendy, you got anything for me?

Enough blood for
an army of vampires.

Mmm, yum. Thank you.

I see you in that
lab coat and I swoon.

Will you stop it?

I need you right here right now.

Right in front of Wendy?

Oh, she'll love it.

You're nuts.

You're crazy.

Hey, give me a break.

I've been on for 16 hours.

I'm delirious, not
to mention horny.

Well, then take a cold shower.

How 'bout if I make it
hot and you join me?

Look, you're working
and I'm working.

Technically,
that's not the case.

My break began two minutes ago.

What are you doing?

Come into my laboratory.

What are you doing?!

What are you doing?

Shh-shh.

Oh, I love this job.

You do? Mm, I do.

Mm...

Andrea?

Are you in here?

Uh, there's nobody
in here but me

and I'm not dressed,

so if you don't
want an eyeful...

Oh, boy. Sorry.

That's okay.

That was too close for comfort.

We can't be doing
that here anymore.

No, we just can't do
that here anymore.

Folks, if I could just have your
attention for a moment please.

I have a brief
announcement to make.

As of, uh... 5:00
this afternoon,

the Peach Pit After Dark is

under new proprietorship.

Uh, it is with great
pleasure that I introduce you

to the new owner,
who promises me

that the good times
will continue to roll.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Valerie Malone.

Thank you, very much.

Well, I'm really
excited about this.

It's gonna be a great
challenge for me.

So let's turn up the music
and we'll see you later.

Have a good time.

♪ ♪

I didn't know Valerie
was interested in business.

Do you think she's
dropping out of school?

She didn't tell you
anything about this, did she?

No. Hmm.

I know you guys must
have a million questions.

I would have told you sooner,

but it all came
down so suddenly.

Isn't it great?!

What do you know about
running a nightclub, Val?

Not a thing, but...

I'm willing to work
hard and learn.

And that's a start, right?

Well, I think it's terrific.

I'm very happy for
you. Congratulations.

Thanks, Donna.

I knew I could count on you.

Hold on.

What?

I want to celebrate.

Celebrate what?

I just made an acquisition.

What did you acquire?

Hmm? I bought
Steve's father's share

of the Peach Pit After Dark.

So now I know
you're crazy. Come on.

Go. Well, it runs in the family.

But look what I scored.

Fresh... Humboldt County pot.

Oh, take a whiff of that.

Yeah, no thanks.

Come on, Dylan.

Let's smoke ourselves silly

and make love all night.

You're already silly, I'll pass.

On me or the pot?

Both.

What's gotten into you?

Oh, that's right.

You're stuck on Kelly.

But you have to admit,
I'm not bad for backup.

Good night, Val.

Come on, Dylan.

Don't make me go.

I feel so good.

I just want to share
it with somebody.

Somebody else.

I don't have anybody else.

Are you telling me
it's lonely at the top?

Okay, I get the message.

I'll go.

Sleep tight.

It definitely looks
like Beverly Hills

has gone to our Valerie's head.

Maybe she's just lost her mind.

Maybe we should call Abby.

I don't think Abby
swings much weight

with her daughter
these days, Mom.

Well, I'm sure
you're right, but...

I mean, with all that money,

you'd think she'd send
some of it home to her family.

We should do something.

Well, honey, it's her
money, she's on her own.

I don't think there's
much we can do.

I know.

I don't just want to see
her get in any trouble.

Believe me, first
sign of trouble,

she'll be on our porch
faster than you can snap

your fingers. Yeah.

Hello?

Brandon. Oh, hey, Steve.

We were just talking about
your best friend, Miss Valerie.

Don't go there, Brandon.

You talk to your dad?

Yeah, I spoke to him. We're
going to have lunch today.

But that's not the
reason I'm calling.

What's going on?

Well, I hate to
ruin your morning,

but I thought you should know.

Three frat houses
got hit last night.

So why are you telling me?

You're the president.

You're supposed to do
something about this crime wave.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Call out the National Guard?

Hey, pal, you're the one

who's supposed to have
the answers, not me.

What time did Valerie
say to meet her?

Hmm, 11:00.

Why? Is that a problem?

No, I can make it.

I just can't imagine
what it's going to be like

booking bands with her.

If we can work
with Rush Sanders,

I think we can probably
work with anyone.

Bye.

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.

I just wanted to
return David's notes.

Oh, hey. Yeah, come on in.

Yeah, actually I
was just leaving.

Not on account of me, I hope.

I have a class.

Don't flatter yourself.

Your girlfriend sure goes
out of her way to avoid me.

Oh, no, don't
worry about it, man.

She's just not a morning person.

Eh, it's okay.

It's not like she's the only one
around here who doesn't like me.

Come on, what are
you talking about?

Come on, David.

Compared to all you
guys, I'm an old man.

You know, I don't understand
why you moved in the dorms.

I would've figured
you for, uh...

I don't know,
apartment off campus

or something? Can't afford it.

But you were in the army.

Don't you get any GI benefits

or anything? No.

Why not?

It's a long story.

The upshot is,

I've got to beg, borrow and
steal to make ends meet.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't say
that too loud around here

with all those bikes missing.

What kind of a crack is that?

It was just a joke.

Well, it's not funny.

Lenny, I was, I
was just kidding.

Yeah, right.

Oh, yeah? How's Hannah?

Finally asleep.

I thought I'd never
get her down for a nap.

Jesse, she has been like
this ever since you left town.

And how about her mom?

You having trouble
sleeping, too?

Me, definitely.

I toss and turn all night long.

Well, if it'll make
you feel any better,

given how great my interview
went with Judge Costello today,

it looks like Boise may
be out of the running.

Jesse, I hate to
break it to you,

but Kansas City doesn't sound
much more thrilling than Boise.

Well, the steaks are great.

And when was the last time
you saw me eat red meat?

Somebody's at the door, hold on.

Surprise.

Shh!

Who's that?

Uh, it's, uh, my grandmother.

Grandmother?

Oh, give her my love, would you?

Jesse sends his love, Grandma.

You know what, honey?

Um, maybe I
should call you back.

Uh, you know what? I'm going
to be running around all day.

Why don't I give you a call
before I go to bed, all right?

Great.

I love you.

Yeah, and me, too.

Bye.

Hubby in Boise again?

No, Kansas City.

Oh, well, I hear
everything's up to date there.

Peter, I asked you
not to come by here.

What if... what if
Jesse were here?

Or my parents or my grandmother?

Wait a minute, I thought
I was your grandmother.

Look, stop kidding around, okay?

I mean, this thing makes
me just too nervous.

You've got to go.

I will. I promise.

Just not yet.

Mm...

Oh, I must be crazy.

My daughter's sleeping
in the next room.

You're not crazy.

You just can't keep
your hands off me.

What are we going to do?

We'll figure something out.

You're working tonight, right?

Yes, 5:00 to 7:00,

and you better behave
yourself, promise?

Sorry, that I cannot promise.

Come here.

Hey, Nat.

You seen your
new partner around?

Yeah, she's next
door, redecorating.

She doesn't waste any time, huh?

Tell her to bring
back my hammer.

Will do.

It is my hammer.

Installing a new
dart board, huh?

First big management decision?

Yeah.

What do you think?

Well, I can think of a few faces

I wouldn't mind
pinning up there.

Be my guest.

So my mother said you called.

Lordy have mercy.

She finally gave
you a message, huh?

What do you want, Valerie?

We have some unfinished
business to discuss.

I think I already
know the terms.

I'm not interested.

Look, Ray,

personally, I'd
like nothing better

than for you to
continue playing here.

Said the spider to the fly.

Is my web so unpleasant?

What's the matter, Ray?

I mean, don't you
like the success?

Hundreds of adoring
fans out in the crowd.

And that one, especially
one adoring fan backstage?

It's not worth
the price, Valerie.

I can't lie to Donna.

You already have.

What do you want
Valerie? Spell it out.

How can I make
it clearer to you?

I want you back in my bed.

And if I don't,
then you're going

to go tell, Donna,
right? Is that the deal?

No. Why would I
want to hurt Donna?

She's one of my best friends.

But if we don't pick
up where we left off,

then I'm never going
to work here again, huh?

You know people overestimate

the value of a
college education.

You're much smarter
than I thought.

And you're far more vicious.

Don't get me wrong, guys.

I think Ray's
music is very solid

and his band has a
hardworking sound, but...

don't you think it's time to get
some new blood around here?

See, I couldn't
agree with you more.

David!

It's not like I want to ace
the guy out of anything,

but I don't know, I just
think there's a lot of great

bands out there
that deserve a shot.

My sentiments exactly.

Are you not going to let
Ray play at all anymore?

Well, we'll see, but
in the meantime,

I'd like a proposed schedule

of the bookings for
the next two months.

You know, to publish a calendar.

Is that a problem?

It's no problem at all.

Just give us a couple days,
we'll get everything together.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hi, son. How're you doing?

Don't "hi, son" me okay?

I can see you are your
usual charming self.

Scotch on the rocks,
how about you?

I'm not hungry. Thank you.

I, on the other
hand, am starved.

So I think I'm going to have a
New York Strip medium rare,

baked potato, sour cream

and some of those
sautéed mushrooms,

the whole nine yards.
What do you say?

I said I'm not hungry, okay?

I can see you're
not too thrilled

about, uh, my selling the club.

Did you sleep with Valerie?

What?

Don't play dumb with me.

You got

quite an imagination.

Or you got a dirty mind.

How else did she get
you to sell the club, Dad?

How about money?

That's how people usually

do business.

Matter of fact, this is for you.

Oh, what's that?

That's your commission.

If I say so myself, I
made a very tasty profit

for a three-month investment.

Commission? Mm-hmm.

Oh...

uh, this is all for me?

All yours, sonny boy.

If it wasn't for you,
I never would have

been in that club
in the first place.

Well, thanks.

My pleasure.

You know, maybe I
will have that steak now.

And that Vegas salad.

You know, the one
where the lettuce dances

around the plate in that
lovely vinaigrette sauce.

Waiter, get over here!

♪ ♪

She fired him?

I wouldn't say that.

I got the feeling
there were, um...

creative differences.

I thought Valerie
liked Ray's music.

I don't know.

She just called David and I in,

and told us to start
looking for new bands.

But you guys told
her that Ray's great,

and that's she's crazy
to get rid of him, right?

Yeah, I tried; she
wouldn't listen to me.

What about David?

Um... he, uh...

Stabbed Ray in the back, right?

I wouldn't put it that way.

Oh, I would.

You know it's one thing to
hurt me, but to hurt someone

who's struggling to make
something of himself?

That is so low.

Poor Ray.

He must be feeling
really terrible right now.

Guess the apple doesn't
fall very far from the tree.

What is that supposed to mean?

Running away,
just like your father.

I am not running away.

I'm getting run out of town.

There's a big difference.

Oh, some club
closes its door to you,

and you're ready
to head for the hills?

Look, I got a booking agent

setting up gigs
in colleges all over

the Northwest.

Besides, out of sight is
out of mind, and right now

that's probably my best bet.

And what about Donna?

I love Donna.

But I don't want to hurt her.

But you're going to sneak
out of town without telling her?

I will call her from the road.

I thought you were
supposed to work tonight.

Mom, did you hear anything
I just said? Answer me.

Are you booked to
do a show tonight?

Yes.

Well, then if you have
any pride in your work,

and any decency in you heart,

you will show up
at that club tonight

and you will honor
your commitment.

And then afterwards, you'll
go out back with Donna,

and you'll take her in your arms

and you will give her
a kiss she'll remember

for the rest of her life.

I'd like the, uh,
presidential suite, please.

Stones, man!

Hey, where the
hell have you been?

You don't call,

you don't write,
you never fax me...

Hey, I'm here, man.

Come on.

I'll get you a cup
of bad coffee.

Speaking of bad coffee, it
kind of goes with the decor.

How'd you get stuck in
this dump? Hey, my family

owns this dump. Oh.

Being here keeps
me out of trouble.

Gives me a lot of time to write.

Speaking of trouble, um...

I almost got in some today.

Oh...

Well, that explains
why I'm seeing your mug

for the very first time

since we got out of rehab.

How about you?

Are you staying clean?

I have no choice.

If it hadn't been
for a big wind today

I probably would've, uh,
got one lit up, you know?

You can't fool
Mother Nature, huh?

So what got to you?

Take a guess.

Ah... a woman.

Yeah.

Kelly? Valerie?

They ganged up on me.

Val supplied the
smoke, but Kelly,

she supplied the motivation.

Let her go, man.

You got to let her go.

I am trying, but...
No, no, no... no, buts.

"But" is just an excuse
to get high, man.

I figured it out,

all by myself.

Good!

Good.

So what the hell are
you bothering me for?

Oh, I just came for the
incredibly bad coffee.

Stones, man...

you ever give some thought
to the concept that maybe

you ought to figure out
what to do with your life?

Yeah, I considered it.

And?

I don't know.

Well, you better come
up with something.

Because one of these
days the wind is not

going to be blowing when
you go to fire up that joint.

Tell me something, if your
mother's condo got robbed,

would she call the
mayor of Beverly Hills?

Well, technically,

she's on the Los
Angeles border, so...

Oh, no, no, no...
That's not what I mean.

What I mean is, why is everybody

coming to me with this?

What do I have to do
with campus security?

They have to have
somebody to blame.

Tell me about it. You
should've heard them

at the senate meeting.

Like I have anything to do
with the university budget.

Like I have anything to
do with hiring campus cops.

Well, they probably
think that you

will talk to the
chancellor. I did.

Kelly, people get
ripped off all the time:

car stereos, bikes.

What am I supposed
to do about it?

I'm the Student Body president,

I am not Batman.

Yeah, but I bet you
look cute in tights.

Well, thank you for that.

You know, you are getting
far too wound up over this.

I know. It's at times like
this when I hate this job.

I'll tell you what.

I will go home and draw
you a nice warm bath

and give you a back rub,

and everything will be okay.

Well, that sounds
very agreeable.

Did you hear that?

What?

I don't know, I swear
I heard something.

That was my stomach. I'm hungry.

Let's go get something to eat.

All of a sudden, I'm
getting the creepiest feeling.

Well, all right. Okay.

Come on. Let's get out.

I'm scared.

Isn't everybody?

The thing is that,
we were right there,

we were steps away...

So on a scale of one to
ten, how mad at me is she?

Somewhere between ten and 11.

See, Clare, why
couldn't you just tell her

that I supported Ray, too?

I did. She wouldn't
believe me, okay?

Hey, I thought I heard
you guys out here.

Here, man.

I was out of line yesterday,

so I made you a copy
of my Hendrix bootleg.

Oh, thanks. Anytime.

Excuse me.

Hey, where are you going, Amy?

Home to my parents.

This school isn't safe anymore.

What's the matter, they
steal another two-wheeler?

This isn't about
bicycles, Lenny.

Melody Reynolds was
raped this afternoon.

What?

In the bushes behind
the South Quad.

In broad daylight?

That's awful.

Is she gonna be
okay? I don't know.

I saw the ambulance on
my way back from chem lab.

I heard she was slashed up

pretty good. Any
idea who did it?

No, but the police
are all over campus.

I got to go.

Well, let's look
on the bright side.

At least they won't be
stealing any bicycles

in the next few days.

You know, Lenny,
you're a real charmer.

What do you say, get a
cup of coffee? No can do.

I've got another
meeting in a few minutes.

How many bureaucrats
does it take to catch a rapist?

Don't ask me man.

If I ever thought I had an idea

about how this university's run,

it's been shattered
in the last two hours.

What's that mean?

You know these people,
they make all these noises

about student
involvement all year,

and then as soon as
there's a crisis they say,

"Brandon the administration
will handle this."

Well, what about that
girl that was raped?

Wasn't she in the
student senate?

Not exactly.

She was on a lot of committees.

I know her.

Is there any truth to that rumor

that they have a
suspect? I don't know.

They aren't telling me anything.

Oh, God, I'm so glad
to see you. Hey, Kel.

Hey, are you okay?
No, I'm scared.

Isn't everybody?

The thing is, we were
right there, steps away

from where it happened.
It could have been me.

Hey, hey, hey,
hey... Take it easy.

Do me a favor. Don't walk around

alone anymore until
this whole thing's settled.

When's that going to be?

I wish I knew.

I heard you were here.

So?

Didn't expect you.

Well, I have a contract
with this nightclub.

Tonight's my last date.

I believe in fulfilling
my obligations.

How professional of you.

Of course, if you want
to pay me not to play,

I'd be more than happy to leave.

I don't believe in paying
someone for nothing.

Is Donna here yet?

Why?

Just wanted to say hello.

Look, you stay away from her,
Valerie, you understand that?

Is that a threat, Ray?

'Cause for the life of me,

I can't see what you
have to threaten me with.

That's where you're wrong.

I've got one thing.

And what's that?

The truth.

Oh, please.

You wouldn't dare tell sweet
Donna the truth about us.

Break the illusion that

her country boy isn't just
another snake in the grass.

You're the snake
in the grass, Valerie.

What's this?

It's your present.

Well, more for me.

Yeah.

So do you have
any plans tonight?

Yeah, I do, they
just don't happen

to include you.

You could pick something

a little more
upbeat, couldn't you?

Well, if I'd known you were
going to be here, I would've.

Pick one.

So are you going to stick around

for Ray's farewell concert?

I don't think so.

You know, I never got a
chance to tell you how much

it meant to me that you came to
see me on campus the other day.

It's no big deal.

Well, it was to me.

You're a good friend.

Brandon and I were just
talking about it the other day.

I'd probably still be
evolving with Finley

if you hadn't exposed
him for the fraud that he is.

What do you want me to say?

That you'll always be my friend.

I came up with something.

Who's babysitting
for you tonight?

Jesse's mom, why?

Think she can
stay a little late?

What is that?

Keys to a motel room.

Our motel room.

I booked it by the week.

Peter, I don't know.

That sounds just a
little bit sleazy to me.

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

Tonight?

No, not tonight.

Jesse's mom would
never understand.

Then tomorrow night.

And the day after that. Maybe.

And the day after... Maybe!

You know, I'm not sure
it was such a smart move

not going to the club tonight?

I told Valerie we were
checking out an act across town.

Oh, great, I told her
we were studying.

You know, maybe we
shouldn't be booking bands

at all for her.

Look, don't worry
about it, all right?

Donna will be over everything

as soon as Ray
books another gig.

You'll see. I don't
know, I hope so.

Oh, there's Lenny.

Do you have to
invite him over here.

Yes. Lenny.

Over here.

No, that's okay.

You two don't need company.

Have a nice evening.

No, come on over.

Sit down.

Hey, how you doing, Lenny?

I'm getting by.

Thanks. How's it going?

Good.

So you know a lot of
people on campus, huh?

Well, what can I say?
I'm Mr. Popularity.

What did you think
of my Hendrix tape?

Oh, it was cool.

That, uh, that
one track, the, uh,

the "Manic Depression"

where he's on the... Excuse me.

Leonard Ziminski?

Yes?

Detective Hank Garcia, LAPD.

Would you come with us, please?

What, am I under
arrest or something?

No, sir, we just
have a few questions.

About what? We
don't want to make

this any more difficult
than it has to be.

I didn't steal any
of those bicycles.

This isn't about
bicycles, Mr. Ziminski.

Then what is this about?

David, it's okay.

Let's go.

I don't get this.

What's going on here?

They don't think he's
the rapist, do they?

You were great tonight. Thanks.

So how about
breakfast? I'm starved.

I'm not really in
the mood to eat.

Look, don't let it get to you.

You're gonna find another
gig a whole lot sooner

than she'll find another
band as good as yours.

I already found
another gig, Donna.

Really?

That's great! Where?

I got to leave town
for a little while.

What?

I've got this agent

who's booked a bunch
of clubs for me up north.

Mostly college towns.

So why didn't you tell me?

Well, I wasn't sure until today.

And I didn't want to upset you.

When are you leaving?

Tonight.

Oh.

Look, will you tell me
that you're gonna miss me?

'Cause I'm really
gonna miss you.

You know I will.

So when are you coming back?

I don't know.

What's the matter?

This... just isn't like you.

There's something I've
got to tell you, Donna.

Something important.

What?

I love you.

I know that.

And there's something else. No.

Nothing else matters.

You love me, and
that's all I need to know.

Do you mean that?

With all my heart.
