Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 5, Episode 31 - P.S. I Love You: Part 1 - full transcript

The gang goes to Palm Springs for the national KEG/ALPHA fraternity/sorority convention, where Steve tries to find the perfect woman for himself after he rejects the blind date his father sets him up with. But Steve gets more than...

God.

Yah!

Huzzah!

Thank you, God.
Phew!

Thanks.

Ladies...

KEG men!

See you guys.

Hey, Dad.

Conventions are all about
networking, son. Remember that.

lt's good to see
you, too, Dad.



Ah, come up
and see the hacienda

l got you before
you give me attitude.

-Here's your KEG pin.
-Thanks.

Oh, a view

of the pool, nice.

Keep your eyes in
your head, sonny boy.

Your social calendar's

filled up this weekend.

Don't even tell me you
fixed me up with someone.

Yes, matter of fact, l have.

Her name is Robin Wallace.

Her father's a major alum down
at the KEG house in Florida.

-You're kidding?
-Mm-mm.

Dad, the last thing in the world
l want is a blind date.



Are you kidding?

Look at the eyeball candy down
there, l want to be accessible.

Will you forget it?
She's an Alpha. You'll like her.

Welcome to Casa KEG.

Casa KEG...

Yeah, this is, uh,
this is adequate.

Hey, Sanders...

l got your adequate.

-Muntz, what's up, man?
-Hey!

Hey, man, your dad
really came through.

Didn't l tell you never to say
anything nice in front of him?

Will you get off my back?

What's with the sody pop?

Oh, hey, hey, hey, those
labels aren't dry yet.

-Labels?
-Oh, Muntz, Muntz...

Oh, Muntz,
concealed brewskie?

-You're a chip off the old frat.
-You're a madman.

Oh, hey, Steve, Brandon called.

Said he's not going
to be able to make it.

Uh-uh, that's
not acceptable.

No way.

Forget about it.
He's not in the fraternity.

Dad, he lost the election,

his parents are
moving to Hong Kong,

and Kelly dumped him.

He needs KEG now more than ever.

Hi, what we have here

is a spacious Spanish, in the
flats, lots of homey charm.

Yeah, who cares?
Where's Brandon Walsh?

What agency is he with?

Hey, hang up out there.

Oh, sorry.

lt's me, bro, what's up?

Hey, what's going on over there?

Having another going-away
party or something?

lt's called a caravan.

30 commission-hungry
real estate brokers

complaining about our lack
of closet space.

That's all the more reason
you should be here.

Steve, there's just too much
going on here for me to cut out.

My parents are leaving today.

Well, perfect. Because nothing
starts until tomorrow.

Ain't going to happen.

Okay. Okay, but just assure me
this has nothing to do with the

fact that Kelly
will be out here.

Look, l just started
to load the car.

l gotta get their luggage
to the terminal early.

All right, man.

But if you change your mind,
you come running, okay?

We'll be here.

Yeah, thanks, bro.

Dad, you ready?

We're out here.

Jim, come look.

Kelly is so sweet.
She brought us

a going-away present.

l got it at the
Farmer's Market.

l just didn't want
you to forget

-your zip code.
-Oh, we appreciate it.

We're going to
miss you guys.

Oh, we'll miss you, too.

Hey, guys, l gotta start
loading the car, huh?

You know, honey, l'm
not finished packing.

l don't think you
are either, sweetie.

Uh, yeah.

lt's weird to see a ''for
sale'' sign in your yard.

l'm getting used to it.

l heard from Steve
that you're going

to Palm Springs with the KEGers.

No.

You should go.
You'll have fun.

l'm not really up
for a good time right now.

Brandon, just because l didn't
want to move in and get married

right away doesn't mean
l still don't want

a relationship with you.

What are you talking about?

l proposed, you said, ''no.''
End of conversation.

l hope l'm not
interrupting anything.

l just wanted to get
the plans straight.

We are going to the Peach Pit
for supper, right?

Yeah.

Well, l'll be over at
Dylan's if anybody needs me.

Tell him l said hi.

Should l give him
your regards, too?

That won't be necessary.

You know, l'd love to stay
here and referee, guys, but...

You know, we should call
you The Terminator.

l mean, who else
could knock out

two guys with one shot?

''So it gives me great pride
to stand before you,

''one of the new breed
of Alpha women.

lndependent, involved...''

Brave, clean, reverent.

l was just getting
into it.

Donna, the delivery is fine.

lt just sounds too much
like the Boy Scout Oath.

Well, we can't keep
rewriting it forever.

You know, l think, uh...
Clare and l

just can't quite connect on
this whole sorority thing.

Yeah. After boarding school,

l kind of have trouble believing
large groups of women

can live under the same roof
without killing each other.

Ah, Kelly, l'm glad
you're here.

l need someone to stick
up for sisterhood.

l am so frustrated.
Some jerk took

my parking place again.
Does ''three strikes you're out''

apply to parking offenses?
Because it should.

So, l gather it didn't go
too well at Brandon's, huh?

One good thing about them moving
out of that house

is that it's one less place l
will have to run into Valerie.

Mmm, no arguments from anyone
in this room.

Hmm...

Guys, give the girl a break.

All right. How're you making out
with the big speech?

Well, l have a feeling you
and l will be writing it

on the way down
to Palm Springs tomorrow.

You know what, l think we're

gonna have to take
separate cars.

-Kel.
-l'm sorry, l can't

make it till the second day of
the convention.

What's so important
that you can't come?

lt's nothing. Don't worry, l
will be there in time for

-your speech.
-Well, if it's nothing,

why can't you
just say what it is?

Because it's private.

Forget l even mentioned it.

Oh...

lf that's Ray,
l'm not here.

Hello.

You're safe. lt's my dad.

Pretty serious
sounding tune there.

l've been thinking about some
pretty serious stuff.

Don't tell me,
Newt's Contract with America?

About, uh... about you and Dad.

Oh.

l guess couples fight, huh?

People close to each other

are going to have their
share of disagreements.

Of course, your father and
l had more than our share.

Well, l know he used
to push you around.

That man didn't
''push me around.''

He hit me.

There's a big difference.

You never pressed
charges, though.

He said he loved me.

He said he was gonna fall
all to pieces without me.

You should have heard him.

He made it sound
real convincing.

Now you answer
me a question.

What kind of troubles are
you having with Donna?

l said a lot of things
l wish l hadn't.

And you're trying to
sing your way out of it?

You think it won't work?

Well... with a girl as
romantic as Donna...

you got a pretty good chance.

Everywhere l go today
someone's packing.

Yeah, well, see,
we were all trying

to escape from you,
Valerie.

l thought you were
just fleeing

from Hurricane Kelly.

Actually, l think it's great
that you're gonna spend a month

in Maui with your mom.

Forget about that. l'm stoked
about seeing Erica.

You know, a year ago,
my little munchkin princess

couldn't even swim, and now
she's giving me the surf report.

Well, send them my best.

l will.

You know, l'm a little surprised
you didn't try

to weasel yourself a ticket
this time.

l just can't leave Brandon alone
with the house and all.

Brandon's a big boy, l think
he can take care of himself.

lt's just an act.

l mean, the Kelly thing
really shook him up.

l'm just trying to be there
for him, Dylan.

Oh, yeah, you're trying to be
there for Brandon now, are you?

Well, l didn't hear you offering
to take me around the world.

Well...

Oh, that's Charley.
Airport Express. Lucky me.

Hey, man, you're early.

The plane's not till 6:00.

Change o' plans.

You are not going.

What do you mean, l'm not going?

lf you sell the script,

l'll come back.

l think he sold the script.

Not exactly.

But some independent money
has stepped up to the plate.

So, take a meeting
with them, man.

You don't need me for that.

Get this. One of 'em
is a paragliding company.

They love the chase scene
that you wrote.

They want to give you a
demonstration tomorrow.

l get to fly this paraglider?

You about ready to cancel that
reservation for the luau now?

Yeah.

l can't believe
you're getting so emotional.

Ever since Brandon said
you wanted

to have your last supper here,

l started
to feel a little eggy.

He's been cutting onions
all day, Dad.

Don't believe a word of this.

You've been great
to me, Jim.

l mean, every time

l got in trouble with this
place, you've always been there.

You've been great to my kids.

Jim, would you come on over here
and sit down, honey?

We have a lot of loose ends
to go over.

Yeah, the loosest
of which is Valerie.

Ah, yes, well, l spoke
to Abby and she knows

that Valerie has
to find her own place.

But for the time being
she'll be staying with you.

No problem.

And this ''open house'' stuff, it
should calm down by next week.

lt could take months
to sell the house, though.

l can handle it.

Brandon, you're a rock.

Thanks, Mom.

No, with all that you've been
going through lately,

l mean, a lot of people would
just fall apart

or do something stupid.

Speaking of people
doing stupid things,

would you keep an eye on Valerie
and, uh, the incense burning?

Yeah.

Try to be a good influence
on her, dear.

One role model coming up.

Hey.

Well, the house is gonna be
empty without you guys.

Oh, well,
we're gonna miss you, too.

Can we save the good-byes until
we're at the airport, maybe?

Honey,
l can't help it.

l feel like we're
deserting you.

No, you're not.
l'll be fine. Dad? Dad?

ls this a group grope?
Can anybody get in?

Hey!

Go ahead and yell at me
if you want.

Just say something.

lt's a beautiful song.

And l think we've
done enough yelling.

l know.

l don't know what happened
last week.

l just, uh, l snapped.

You scared me, you really did.

Don't you think l scared myself?

l mean, the last thing
l want to do is hurt you.

l love you.

l know you do.

l know, but, uh...

Look, l didn't know how much l
needed you.

l'm willing to do whatever
it takes to get you back.

Well...

if you come with me
to Palm Springs,

sit with me in the sun

and cheer me on
during my speech, yeah,

l think, l think
that would help.

You want me to

come to Palm Springs
to the Alpha Convention?

A lot of people
are bringing guests.

You did say whatever it takes.

ln that case,
l can't wait to go.

Great.

Home, sweet home.

Yep.

Brandon, will you stop
shutting me out?

l'm not.

You hardly talked on the way
back from the airport.

So, there are a few things
l'd rather not talk about.

Okay, fine.

Look, l know things seem
to be dark,

but you got to look
for the silver lining.

You're right.

l haven't been attacked by
the flesh-eating bacteria yet.

Tell them about maybe
the teak floors

and the schools.
Don't forget the schools.

Excuse me.
W-What are you doing here?

Oh, l know it's late,

but real estate
is a 24-hour business.

The Chus are moving here
from Hong Kong.

lsn't that a coincidence?

lt is a small world,
after all.

l think they're motivated.

But if it's not them,
it'll be someone else.

We're gonna do such a blitz
this weekend.

Great. Guys,

thanks for coming, okay?

-All right.
-Yes. Let's go, people.

-Good night.
-Good night.

Good-bye.

Good night.

So as l was saying...

l don't think l can take
a blitzer this weekend.

l may just go up to the desert
and see Steve.

Well, if you don't want
to travel alone,

l've never been
to the desert

and we could take my car.

l'll let you drive.

Well, since you put it that way.

Then it's settled.

Well, l don't know about you,
but l think l'm gonna turn in.

Sleep tight.

Who said anything about sleep?

Hi. l'm here to pick up
Alison Lash.

She's supposed
to be released today.

Oh, l remember you.

l guess you two
patched things up.

That's nice.

Oh, no, no, l'm not...
We're just friends.

So, can you tell me
what to expect?

ls she really badly scarred?

-No, not really. She's just
uncomfortable. -Kelly.

Oh, my goodness.

Hi! Look at you!

Oh, oh, l'm sorry.
Are you okay?

Yeah.

You look great.

Well, you wouldn't
be saying that

if you could see the skin grafts
on my legs.

But your face, it's amazing.

Almost all second-degree burns.

l was blessed.

Should we go?

Okay.

l'll get your bag.

Hey, are you absolutely sure
that it's okay

for me to stay at your place?

l mean, your roommates were cool
about it?

My roommates are all
in Palm Springs.

Good, 'cause it could be sort
of awkward with them around.

Bye, Evelyn.

Thank you so much
for everything.

Bye, sweetheart.

Kelly, you take good care
of her.

l will.

Bye.

Dr. Garcia, please call
extension 4024.

Dr. Garcia,
please call extension 4024.

Oh, nice shot, Steve.

Well, Buddy, you gave us
a rough time.

Personally, l think you
caught us a little jetlagged.

-Could be.
-What do you think, Robin?

l think Steve has a really
awesome backhand.

Well, thanks.

Do you give lessons?

Lessons? Me?

No. Andre Agassi.

My bashful son

Steve will teach you
whatever you want.

Thanks, that'd be great.

ln the meantime,
up at the grill,

there's a huge breakfast omelet
with our names on it.

So how about it?

Great.
Great.

Yo, Sanders!

Brando, you made it.

Hi, Steve.
Hi, Rush.

Hey, Rush.

Hey, Val. They're some
kids from C.U. Hey, Val,

come on over. l want to
introduce you to some people.

You said l should
come on up, brother.

l'm so glad
you're here.

My father's set me up
on a blind date.

He is so annoying,
Brandon.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Are you sure?
'Cause where l'm standing,

she looks fine.

Steve, you and Brandon gonna
join us or not?

Uh, you know what?

l'm gonna get him settled
in the hacienda.

Catch up
with you later, okay?

Have fun.

-See you guys.
-Bye.

Every date Rush
has ever set me up with

has had major baggage.

One girl's father
was suing him.

Another girl's mom
he was trying to date.

l'm telling you,
the list is endless.

Maybe you're overreacting.

Rush doesn't change.

There's always an angle
with him.

Ah! You think you've got
problems with your dates.

What? Not you and
the vampiress?

Bro, l'm telling you.

All last night l can hear her
breathing in the next room,

waiting for me to come in there
and handle her action.

Well, she's been breathing in
the next room all year long.

Maybe you're the one
overreacting.

-l don't think so.
-Howdy-do, amigos?

Muntz.

Hola, Muntz.
New look?

-Nah, l just wanted
to be packing. -Uh-huh

l got margaritas
in one holster,

sloe gin fizz
in the other.

Who wants a squirt?

We do. Give it up.

Uh-uh-uh! Mm!

No, none for me.

Brandon, are you sure
about this?

l mean, you're the one

with the man-eater
snapping at your tail.

Seldom wrong,
and right again, Steve.

Hit me with a little bit
of that gin.

Huh?

Give me some more of that.

Atta boy.

Brando came to party.
Let's go get some.

La cucaracha.

Welcome to the National KEG
Alpha Convention.

Thanks.

Registration for all delegates
will be held...

Hey, l'll get
those, man. l'll...

No, you are on vacation.

...courtyard, featuring the
distinctive sounds of...

Look, l know people
serving you

is supposed to make
you feel relaxed,

but with me it has
just the opposite effect.

Hey, watch the second gear.

Will you relax and enjoy
the good life?

Look, l think l'm just gonna
drop you off and head back

'cause l should be rehearsing
with the band.

No, you don't. You're staying.

Come on.

Well, you have to admit,
it is incredible here.

Yeah.

l thought you
liked the desert.

Yeah, l like the desert.

Riding horses with my uncle,

there wasn't any guy
in a uniform parking my truck.

So we'll ride.

Hi, Donna!

Hi, Jill!

l just don't know anybody here.

Well, you know me,
and you know Steve--

who's happy to let you crash
at his place, by the way.

-Donna. Hi, sweetheart.
-Hi, Mom.

Well, what a surprise
to see you here.

Donna convinced me
to come up for a few days,

catch her speech.

Ah, really?

Well, l trust
she also explained

that her dance card
is pretty full.

l mean, after all, this
is a KEG-Alpha event.

-Mother.
-Well, fine, honey.

l just didn't want him
to feel left out.

No, if he feels left out,
he'll let you know.

Good.

Excuse me.

Oh...

Muntz, hit me.

-Again?
-Hit me.

l don't know, man,
l have to

-cut you off pretty soon.
-Muntz, hit me! Hit me!

Ah, ah, ah!

Thanks, man. Yo, Raymond.

Great tunes, huh, bud?

Ha-ha!

Somebody's toasted.

l'll take that,
l'll take that.

Ready, guys?

Game point. Here we
go, guys-- concentrate.

Whoa!

Brandon!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Hey, man, we're one point
away from victory here.

Eh, victory sucks!

ls Brandon always
like this?

He's never like this.

Well, uh,
what about Steve?

l mean, he does
like girls, right?

l'd have to say
Steve loves girls.

lf you're interested,
l'd go for it.

Okay, come on,
are we ready

to play a little
volleyball, or what?

Yeah!

Okay, okay, l see
what you're doing.

Take this.

Of course you know, you've
broken practically

every volleyball rule
known to man.

Yeah? What are you
gonna do about it?

Chicken fight!

Enjoying yourself?

Yeah, it's okay.

Boy, when l was your age,

bathing suits were
a little more discreet.

The least you could do is stop
standing here gawking at her.

So you don't approve

of what she's wearing?

-Please.
-Well, Mrs. Martin,

l think you might
want to sit down.

We actually agree on something.

Well, l haven't had any luck

in getting her
to tone down her wardrobe.

Maybe it's time for you to try.

Give me that.

Hey, Donna,

time to get out.

What'd you say?

Get out.

Dude, l don't want Robin.

She's tainted.

Steve, if l have to hear
one more word about

the ''Robin Conspiracy,'' it's
gonna force me to stop drinking.

Oh, yeah? Well,
l don't see you

letting Valerie mount you
in the chicken fights,

okay, Mr. Rooster
Living in the Henhouse?

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ah, you see,
Valerie over there,

is supposed to be
like a sister to me,

but right now my
willpower's at about zero.

Well, either we give in
or we get out of the pool.

l say we get out.

You got any ideas
for any excuses?

Hey, guys, we've got
an emergency developing here.

What's the problem?

We're running
dangerously low on beer.

-There's an excuse!
-Bingo!

-We're gonna go get some beer.
-Yeah. Buh-bye.

Sweetheart!

Love you!

What? You-you
never shot a close-up?

You can't even tell
that that's me up there!

Well, l'll tell you what.

When we get this movie
off the ground,

then l'll hire a professional
cinematographer.

Yeah, well, at least
l got my butt up there, man.

You-you didn't even try.

l make it a policy never
to get off the ground

unless there's a
stewardess on board.

Well, with these
paraglider people on board,

we're only about a million shy
of the budget, right?

Don't worry.

Uncle Charley's
got something major brewing.

Mm, how major?

Major enough to finance

the whole picture
all by himself.

Really?
Has he read the script?

l faxed him a one-sheet.

He wants us
to come out to his place

in the desert and go over it.

lf he likes it, we can be
in preproduction by summer.

What's the catch?

Why do you always think
that there's a catch?

When there's this much money,
there is always a catch.

Well, the only thing
that he said was

that he wants us to make sure
that there's a part

for his girlfriend in the movie.

Girlfriend?

He says she's really talented.

Did you promise her a part,
or did you promise her the lead?

Oh, wait a minute.

What's the matter?

Did we just leave two
robo-babes in tiny bikinis

to come here and buy beer
with your fake l.D.?

Look, what can l say,

l'm just not
attracted to Robin.

She's... she's got one
hell of a hard body--

all right, l'll give
that up-- but...

l'm not tingling.

Then you must be downing
Novocain spritzers, my friend.

Oh, yeah? Well,

what about you and Valerie, huh?

That's what l'm trying
to tell you, bro.

l'm kind of
reconsidering.

l wonder if
that's the Caddy

l saw when
l first came to town.

Ah, there she is--

the goddess in the hat!

Don't look, don't look.
Walk with me.

Bro, l may turn into
a pillar of salt,

and if l do, just use me for
margaritas-- l got to look.

l got to do it.
l'm doing it, l'm doing it.

Ah! See? Now l am tingling.

Forget it, Steve-- she's
way out of your league.

She's a goddess;
you're a mere mortal.

She's... Ah! She... Ah!

She's got to be a model.

She's model quality.

Steve, l'm not real big
on models right now.

Oh, yeah-- Kelly. Sorry.

Yeah, Kelly.

Let's talk about
goddesses, huh?

Okay.

A goddess here...

And for dessert,
Creme brulee.

ls there some sort of
hidden meaning here?

What do you mean?

Creme brulee means
''burnt cream.''

l'm sorry, l didn't know that.

Does it bother you?

No. Flambe l would have taken
as a personal affront.

You know, you have to have the
best attitude of anybody l know.

Well... l'm on my best behavior.

Good.

Hey, what's
going on in there?

l don't know.
You tell me.

Wait a second,
is that Alison from the fire?

Yep.

So Kelly turned down Dylan
and Brandon for Alison?

lt can't be the way
it looks, right?

Ah, but why
the big secret?

We better get going.

No.

They just saw us.

l thought you guys were
supposed to be in Palm Springs.

Nope. We're still here.

We just got tied up

doing some... errands
and stuff for my dad.

Alison...

Clare and David.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, you two obviously...
want to...

be alone.

l mean, you...

probably have lots
to talk about,

so l'm just, uh...

gonna grab my suitcase,
and then we'll leave.

-Hi. l'm-l'm David.
-Yeah.

l assumed you were David
and she was Clare.

Yeah.

Want to stay

for some food?
The more the merrier.

Oh, no, we really

got to keep moving, actually.

All set.

Great.

Well... bye.

Nice to meet you again.

Have a good... dinner.

l want to humbly apologize
for my roommates.

They're usually a lot
more mature about things.

Although...

seeing this, l can see how
they'd get the wrong idea.

Well, blame it on me.

l set the table.

Alison...

l know you have...
these feelings for me.

l mean, it's
totally natural

after all that we've been
through together to...

think about each other.

A lot, even.

l mean, it'd be weird
if we didn't.

l know.

That's what l've been
telling myself, too.

But... after spending
all day together,

l know now that
there's more to it than that.

Alison...

l really love you, Kelly.

l do.

Well, l hope you're
glad you stayed, Ray.

Yes, l am.
Thank you, Mrs. Martin.

Oh, and, if you're
responsible

for what Donna's
wearing, thank you.

Face it, guys.
Sonny Bono's blowing you off.

He and Cher are rehearsing
for their comeback.

Brandon, for
your information,

Mr. Bono is now speaking

to the National
Republican Women's Caucus,

and shall be here
momentarily.

l don't think
he even went to college.

Would you knock
it off, please, hmm?

Well, then, what
college did he go to?

Look, cool it,
man, okay?

This is a big
deal for us.

The guy's
a U.S. senator.

He's a congressman, Steve.

Congressman.
He has no sense of punctuality,

and he never could carry

-a tune. Remember? -Would you
get him out of here, please?

Wait. Don't you touch that! No!

Got your cake.

Thanks for being
in my corner, man.

How many times have
l covered for you before?

Hey, look. You're dangerous
tonight, all right?

l want you to go put
yourself right to bed.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me go
back in there and apologize.

l think that would just
make things worse, Brandon.

Okay, fine.
l understand.

Go on back to your
little big deal there.

Hey, and no more
drinking tonight.

Okay? Tomorrow's another day.

Bro, l'm not even drunk.

See? l'm fine. Fine.

Well, good evening,
bathing beauty.

Hey, stranger.

Where you been?

Trying to find my way back here.
This place is immense!

Well, come on in.
There's a lot of room.

Go get your
bathing suit on!

All right. Okay.

Don't you go anywhere.

How's it going?

Come on in.

Ta-da!

lt's not exactly
traffic-stopping, l know.

No. lt's beautiful.

lt was really nice of you
to take me shopping today.

For the past six months,
my only fashion choices

have been the color
of the pressure bandage.

Could you, uh...
help me snap this?

Sure.

Thanks.

So, um... can
l ask you something?

Looking for
fashion advice?

Afraid not.

l didn't think so.

Why didn't you
tell your roommates

l was going
to be here today?

l don't know.

l just didn't feel
like discussing everything

to death.

l wanted us
to have a nice day

before you
headed up north.

l don't absolutely
have to go.

You know,
it's so strange

because l know
that you're looking

at the two of us standing here,

and you see a couple.

But that's... just so far
from the way l feel.

You know, Kelly,

it's definitely
one of those things

that you'll never know
until you try.

l guess what l'm saying
is that l know.

l'm sorry.

l think l should
probably get some sleep.

My legs are starting to hurt,

and l can't be responsible
for what l say

once those painkillers kick in.

l'm going to miss you.

Have fun in Palm Springs.

l'll miss you, too.

Have you lost your mind?

Brandon, you said you
wouldn't fall apart on us.

What are you guys doing here?

Well, you better
ask yourself that.

This is your delusion.

Yeah. And since when
did you start drinking?

Hang on a second, Dad.

l've earned this bender.

l was a good Boy Scout
for a long time.

Where did it get me, huh?

So, every time

you don't get your way,

you're going
to get self-destructive?

Mom, l'm just
having a little bit

of good old-fashioned fun,
like everybody else.

No, you're not.

You're joining Valerie
in that hot tub

with impure thoughts.

Well, she has practically
thrown herself at him.

lt's a wonder he's
held out this long.

Stifle it, Jim!

She's like family.

You understand that,
don't you, Brandon?

Yeah, l do. Okay?

l do.

Who you
talking to?

Uh...

Nobody.

Why?

l was worried about you.

You were taking so long.

Let's get you into that hot tub.

200 people exactly
like your mom.

l didn't think l was going
to get out of there alive.

Oh, come on.
You and my mom

looked like
old pals tonight.

Believe me.
The only thing

that kept me going
was the thought

of us going
horseback riding tomorrow.

Yeah? What about tonight?

Why don't you come
to my room for a while?

Well, we could do that.

But, with your mother
in the next room,

it could get
a little dicey.

Besides, if l don't
get back to Steve's

before all the
beds are taken,

then l'm
probably going

to be sleeping
in my truck.

Well, looks like Steve

might be sleeping
elsewhere tonight.

Lucky him.

Good night.

Night.

l didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.

l just don't like when
my father tries to fix me up.

lt's the same with me.

You know, l thought you had
to be another geeky loser.

Until l saw you on
the tennis court, that is.

You made quite an impression
on me, too.

Maybe we should
just think about us,

and let our fathers concentrate

on that business deal
they're putting together.

Business deal?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Oh, come on!
Stop being a wuss.

lt's not that hot
when you get in.

Ah, ah, okay, that's better.

Oh, yeah, that's better.

So, uh... you want
to smoke a little?

No, thanks.

l think l've had enough
hallucinations for one night.

l'm just going
to kind of relax a little

right over here.

Well, don't be over there
too long.

People are going
to start coming back.

What people?

Keep that hot
tub humming

We are all coming

Keep that hot tub humming

We are all coming

Keep that hot tub humming

We are all coming

Keep that hot tub humming

We are all coming

Keep that hot tub humming

We are all coming

Keep that hot tub humming

We are all coming...

Can l help you?

Yeah. Hi. Charley Rawlins,
Dylan McKay to see Mr. Rose.

We're here about the movie
project-- On Borrowed Time.

Okay.

You must have said

the magic word.

Open, Sesame!

Not a bad little piece
of property, eh?

Who lives here,
the Sultan of Brunei?

Hey, stick with me, man,

and the world
will be your oyster.

Just drive.

Great! Rollins and McKay.

Come on in, boys.

l'm glad you could do this
on such short notice.

l'm Tom.

Charley.
This is Dylan.

-How you doing?
-Welcome.

You know, l
always like to say

that we're on
''desert time'' out here.

So, if things seem
a little too relaxed,

that's because they are.

No problem with me.

We'll work,
we'll eat, and you'll

stay the night. Hmm?

Building up relationships,
to me,

is just like building equity.

l couldn't agree
with you more.

Good. Lou will show
you to your rooms,

you can get
refreshed, and then

we'll get down to it.

You know, Angela
is really looking forward

to a read-through of the script.

Where is Angela?

Oh, she's...
she's working out

on the patio.

Oh. Well, she

certainly has a
lot of presence.

Thanks.

Lou, uh, take their bags to
their rooms, will you?

Yes, sir, Mr. Rose.

Oh, guys,
hold on a second.

l'll pull Angela
from that StairMaster.

So, uh... what
business is Tom in

that he needs the bodyguard?

He's in, um...

vending machines.

Oh, he's in
vending machines.

Why don't you just say he was
an olive oil importer?

You mean the
guy's connected?

Dylan, the guy
is a serious movie investor.

He's very
knowledgeable.

Doesn't answer

my question.

Would you just be cool about it?

He's staked lots of films.

This is a no-brainer.

Yeah. So are you.

Yeah.

This is more like it.

Can you believe how much it's
changed in the last ten years?

l don't really know
what it was like then.

Totally different.

See all these houses

with the uh, red roofs
and swimming pools?

lt was just desert before,

a few roadrunners and lots
and lots of snakes.

-Calm down there...
-lt's all right.

You just have
his reins too tight

after a long gallop
like that.

Thanks.

l guess l'm a little
out of practice.

You want some

juice or water?

No. l'm fine.

Actually, we uh, we should
be heading back soon.

Wait a second,
we just got going.

We've been out almost
an hour, Ray.

Wait a second.

l drove you all the way
to Palm Springs.

l'm as nice as possible
to your mother.

l'm living with
Steve Sanders

and the Village of Drunken
ldiots because you asked me to.

And now l can't get more than
an hour of your precious time?

You know my mother's moderating
a panel this morning.

You know l can't miss it.

Oh, sure, but you
can blow me off.

Thanks a lot.

Ray, you're not being fair.

No, l'm being
more than fair.

You had all the time in
the world yesterday

to prance around half naked

in front of these
jerks from KEG House.

l what?

l bought that
bathing suit for you.

l mean, you can ask Kelly,
she was right there with me.

ln fact every time l buy
anything it's always,

''Will Ray like this?''

Sure. Should we go now?

Look, if you want me
to dress differently,

just tell me and l will.

But l can't

miss my mother's panel,
you know that.

What l know is, if you loved me,

l'd be higher on your list
of priorities.

-Ray...
-And you wouldn't

need all
those guys leering at you.

You wouldn't want it.

l don't want it!

Brando, l got ice packs,

l got vitamin B,
l got crackers.

What do you want?

l just want to die.

The aspirin didn't work, huh?

Not on this hangover.

Let me see what l
got that's stronger.

Just don't let me drink today.

Hey, David, Clare.

Hey.

What's going on, man?

What's up, man?

Brandon, nice trunks.

Hi, kids.

Welcome to hell.

Muntz is the devil,
steer clear.

l didn't expect
to see you here.

You're not seeing me.

l'm somebody else.

l better go look
for Alphaville,

tell Donna we're
here, okay?

Hey, did Kelly come up
with you guys?

Hmm?

Nope. No, l haven't seen her.

Bye.

Dave?

Yes, sir?

What was that about?

Uh, nothing.

Dave?

Donna already told me

that Kelly's got something
going on back home.

ls she seeing Dylan?

No. lt isn't Dylan.

But she is seeing someone?

Look, Brandon, you really
shouldn't jump

to conclusions or anything.

Dave, don't make me
get out

of this pool.

Okay, okay.

Well, we uh, walked in on
Kelly last night with...

Alison.

With Alison?

Alison, Alison?

Yeah, Alison, Alison.

l think l have the ticket.

Tabasco.

Forget the Tabasco.

How about a beer?

Oh, boy.

Well, they call us elitists,

and, uh, they're not
entirely wrong...

But from what
l've heard here today,

we can all feel very,
very good about ourselves.

Because now, as this
whole country tries to return

to basic moral values--
friendship,

honesty, loyalty,

family-- we can all truly say

those have been our
values all along.

And to all the
Johnny-come-latelies,

better late than never.

Thank you all very much.

Do you think that ''better
late than never'' was for me?

You better hope so.

Your mom was really hurt

when you two lovebirds
didn't show up.

Oh, boy.

Mom!

l am sorry.

This was supposed to
be our time together.

Uh, Mrs. Martin,
it was my fault.

l thought l knew the trail,

and we took a wrong
turn and got lost.

l appreciate what
you're trying to do, Ray.

lt's gentlemanly.

But it doesn't make me look any
less a perfect fool

talking about
family and decency

when my own daughter doesn't
have the courtesy to show up.

l guess we should have showed
up a little earlier.

-She'll get over it.
-You think?

l'm still hearing about stuff
l did wrong in the first grade.

l'll give you a quick briefing

and you can talk to her
about it at the luncheon.

l think l'll sit
that one out.

Fine.

Then go back to Steve's.

No, believe me,
l'm not going back there.

l'm done with Steve
and Brandon

and that whole
lame ass KEG crowd.

Wait, Brandon's here?

Okay, hold it down.
lt's ringing.

Okay, this is the game,

match, set,
whatever it is...

Hold on, it's ringing!
Take it, take it!

-Doctor's office.
-Uh, hi, there, is this

Dr. Holden's office?

Yeah, uh, my name is, uh,
Richard Zinya,

and l'm a very
well-endowed man,

and l was wondering if
you do some sort of a uh,

a reduction surgery over there?

Would you find that out
for me, please?

Dude, 45 seconds

you had them
on the line!

-Nice!
-You the man.

Thank you,
thank you.

Party on.

What's the matter, Kel,
you don't approve?

Don't let me stop you.

lt's all a little lame,
but have your fun.

Wait, Kel.

Come on back,
hang out with us guys.

Oh, that's right,
you don't like guys anymore.

D'oh!

Brandon, can you come
downstairs, please?

Absolutely.

But hurry back.

lvana Tinkel

will be calling the
urology department next.

What was that crack about?

l don't know,
you tell me.

Did you really leave
me for a girl?

Who told you that?
David or Clare?

See, l don't see you denying it.

So, women turn you on, huh?

They always work for me.

Alison is just my friend.
Do you have a problem with that?

Uh, excuse me, l'm sorry,
this will only take a second.

Uh, Brandon, l got that room if
you need a place to crash.

Thanks.

Don't get the wrong
idea, Kelly.

lt's a two-bedroom suite.

You know what,

l don't care what Brandon
does with his life anymore.

Obviously you don't either.

He's all yours.

Well, l guess she told me.

Eat that!

Florida wins!

-Excuse me.
-What?

-Excuse me.
-What?!

What did you do
to that girl?

Nothing.

Which is why
she's so pissed.

You trying to make
her life miserable?

Or mine?

You know what?

l don't like you using me

as a stud animal for
your networking, okay?

What're you talking about?

Don't deny it.

You want me to go
out with Robin

just so you can close some
business deal with Buddy, right?

You got bubbles
in your think tank?

The deal with Buddy is
for a nonprofit charity.

l don't care whether l do it,
one way or the other.

Then why are you pressing me
to go out with her?

Because l wanted you to meet

a real dreamboat
for once in your sorry life.

What a knucklehead
you are.

All right. lt's always
my fault, huh?

''Picture yourself going

''down...

''a long, golden

''staircase.
Listen

''to the sound of my voice.

''Let it take you deeper

and deeper.''

Doctor, l can feel
it again.

''Hold the image

''and breathe through it.
Let it take you

wherever it's going to go.''

''Carl's eyes widen
with sudden alarm.

His hypnotherapist
leans in and whispers...''

''What are you seeing?''

''Cut to Carl's office
at the bank.

''Night.
Bill Masters and

Sgt. Dray
flip on Carl's computer.''

''We've got to work fast.''

Charley, let's, let's
put a pin in this, huh?

What, is something wrong?

No, not really.
We just need a break.

Thank you.

l have to go to the potty.

You know, uh, speaking
as a director...

she's got a lot of potential.

She's not your problem.
Your problem is story.

-How's that?
-Look...

l know a fair amount
about how banks work,

and l don't believe Carl's scam.

Now, if l don't
believe it,

how's your average Joe
going to relate?

Well, l disagree with you.

l've done a lot
of research on that.

Sorry, no financier

could pull it off.
You'd see it coming.

lt works.

l know.

l think that

Dylan's father created this.

Yeah, he did.

Made himself a fortune.

l'd like to meet your father.

Yeah, well, good luck,
he's dead.

Was your father Jack McKay?

Yeah. Why? You know him?

Not really.

But, uh... if you're telling me
Jack McKay

pulled off this scam, l buy it.

Let's get back
to the script.

Angela!

Angela!

Steve! How was
your tennis match?

lt was a disaster.

What are you doing
in Valerie's car?

Ah, looks like l'm gonna
move my toothbrush

out of KEG central
and move into her suite.

Wow...

What about Kelly?

Disastrous.
Want to go into town?

Any place is better than here.

So, l told
Valerie l'd gas up her car

and get some necessities
at the drug store.

l can't believe you're gonna
do the nasty with Valerie.

Well, neither can l,
but at this point in time

it doesn't look like
there's any turning back.

What is this?
You're still mad

about missing this
thing with your mother?

Could we
just let it drop?

l need a
break, okay?

What? You need a
break from me?

No, l want to get
out of these clothes.

Good, 'cause the only
reason l'm here is you,

but maybe l should go back to
L.A. and rehearse with my band,

which is what l shoulda been
doing this whole time anyway.

Yeah. Maybe you should.

Hey, don't walk away from me.

Stop it!

Stop acting like
l'm not even here.

You know what?
l can't deal with this.

Why are you so mad at me?!

Because you make me mad.

You know what? l have to
go work on my speech.

No!

Ow! You're hurting me!

You're gonna
listen to me.

Donna!

Donna.

-Ow...
-Donna.

l didn't mean to, babe.

Stay away from me.

Donna?

Are you okay?

No.

Ray, go get the hotel doctor.

-Go!
-l'll stay here.

You go get the doctor.

lt was an accident, babe.

l didn't mean to.

You know that,
don't you?

All right, man, will
you get the gas?

l want to check the oil.

l can't believe
how l blew it.

Robin must think
l'm an idiot.

So, apologize
for being an idiot.

You need a little help?

Oh, wow.

The goddess
in the Caddy.

Hmmm.

Hi, can l do that
to you... for you?

Darling, you read my mind.
My nail polish is still drying.

Oh.

High-test, l assume?

Absolutely. Thanks.

Oh, l'm, l'm Elle.

l'm Steve.

Wet nails.

This is, uh...

Brandon. l thought
he was helping me.

Ha-ha-ha.

Ha-ha-ha.

Well, l take it you guys
aren't from the Springs?

No, no. We're just here
for a little R&R.

lt's a great town, though.

Are you from here?

Absolutely.

A born and bred desert rose.

So, are you going
to just stand there

with that hose in your hand?

Or are you going
to stick it in my tank?

Pshaw.

Ray. How is she?

-Don't know yet.
-Well, l went

to her hotel room. They said an
ambulance came. What happened?

Well, we were, uh, heading up
the stairs towards her suite,

and she... tripped
or something,

and, uh, next thing l knew, she
was down at the bottom, holding

-her arm like it was broken.
-Her arm?

Thank God. l thought she'd
broken her neck or something.

No, we got lucky.

Yeah. Hey!

How are you feeling?

Are you okay, babe?

l've been climbing
the walls out here.

lt's true. He has.
You have one very worried

guy on your hands.

Well, say something, honey.

They're gonna think you
have a concussion.

lt's just a sprain.

Well, that's great.

l'm gonna

call Valerie.
l'll be right back.

Valerie?

Yeah. She was a big help.

Valerie was a big help?

Are you sure she
didn't push you?

Look, l know you're
no ballerina,

but what happened?

Did you tell her
what happened?

Yeah, he said
you came,

you saw, you fell.

Yeah.

lt was pretty embarrassing.

After all, you did abandon
Valerie to come here.

l called her, told her
l was gonna be late.

She was very understanding.

Perhaps you're
having second thoughts

about bunking down with her.

l'm onto third
thoughts already, Dad,

but we're young,
we're able-bodied.

We'll be careful.
lt'll be ecstasy.

What's the big deal?

Valerie looks up to you.

You shouldn't
break that trust.

Would you give me a
little help here, Dad?

Oh, yeah.
Help him out.

Tell him how you
almost cheated on me

with your secretary.

''Almost'' doesn't count.

l resisted temptation.

Tomorrow, l'll resist.

Tonight l'm gonna
roll in the mud,

and do me a favor--
you two don't show up.

lt could be very
traumatic for all of us.

He's got a point.

l don't feel right
about this, Jim.

Wait a minute, if you
guys really cared,

you wouldn't be running
off to Hong Kong

and leaving me all
alone, now, would you?

Good job.
Hey, look,

you want to get
something to drink?

Uh, sure. l need
to find the ladies room.

Okay.

Grrrowl!

Okay...

Think you can close
this deal by yourself?

Well, let's just say
that it's in the bag.

You know what
l'm saying?

l do know what
you're saying.

Godspeed, my friend.

Waiter!

My personal favorite's
always been Orion.

Out here in the desert,

you can see why he's
called ''The Hunter.''

You're right. l can
see his bow.

l can see
his moustache.

He doesn't have a
moustache, sweetheart.

You know, Tom,
l was thinking

about that bit
in Act One with Carl

and the doctor.

lf we have them looking
at the stars, then that leads

right into the whole scene
about having a-a soul mate.

l just got buzzed
by Security.

ls there a problem?

The McKay kid was in Rollins'
car making a phone call.

Security picked it
up on the scan.

Who was he calling?

Where are you
taking me?

Back to my pleasure palace.

Ooh! l don't think
l can wait.

Yes, you can. So behave, or l
may have to discipline you.

Well, l gotta
tell you, Elle...

l've been a very,
very bad boy.

Really?

Give me some sugar, baby.

Hey, easy, lover.

What's this?

Honey, like you didn't know.

How could you possibly

tell Brandon that l
was ''with'' Alison?

l said it was a mistake.

Kelly,
you're the one

that did the big
undercover act, okay?

l'm sorry if we
got the wrong idea.

No, l don't care what you think.

lt's Brandon
that l'm worried about.

Look, whatever he said,

my guess is the Alison
rumor's the least of it.

l gotta agree
with David.

Has anybody
seen Brandon?

He said he'd
be back by now.

l guess she hasn't
seen him, huh?

Two-car accident
on Bob Hope Drive.

Police and ambulance
are on the scene right now.

lf you're driving on lnterstate
10 approaching the...

Good evening.

Good evening, Officer.

l was just, uh...

having a little trouble
with the stereo.

Have you been
drinking today?

No, sir.

Well, l-l-l did
have a couple of beers.

-A couple?
-Yeah.

But that was... 12 hours ago.

Yeah, just a few
in the morning, huh?

Could you find
your license

and registration
for me, please?

Yeah. Listen...

Here's my, uh... here's my
license. l'm not exactly...

Take it out of
your wallet, please.

...sure where the, uh,

registration
is... Officer.

You see, it's, uh,
it's not my car.

So, Mr. Walsh,
whose car is this?

Uh... A friend
loaned it to me.

Mr. Walsh, l'm gonna

have to ask you to step
out of the car, please.

Officer, this, this isn't mine.

Just step out of the car.

Step to the back of
the vehicle, please.

Place your hands on
the trunk. Step back

and spread your
feet apart.

Don't make me repeat myself.

Place your hands on the trunk.

You want to get a move on!

Mr. Rose is waiting.

So what's the first stop?

l just do what
Mr. Rose says.

He says you want to see some
locations for the movie.

He says you're
gonna like 'em.

Good.

Good morning.
Make yourself comfortable.

Where's Charley?

He went up in the other car.

Have a newspaper.
lt's a long ride.

Val, wake up.

Wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up.

Brandon, cut it out!

Go ahead and ask me where
l've been all night.

Go ahead, ask me.

l don't want to know.

l waited for you until
about 4:00 in the morning.

That's because l was
detained by the police,

thanks to a joint you had over
the sun visor in your car.

ln my car?
What happened to my car?

Your car is fine.

lt didn't spend all night
in a holding cell.

Brandon, what are you doing?

Where are you going
with my stash?

What is your problem?!

You're lucky this wasn't in
your car when they searched it.

Brandon,
l'm sorry you got busted.

Do you have any idea what could
have happened to me

if l would have tested positive
for use?

Do you?

Well, nothing bad happened.

Everything turned out okay,
right?

No.

l promised my parents
l wouldn't do anything stupid

after they left,
and everything l've done

from that point forward
has been a monument to idiocy.

Well, not everything.

Don't start with me, Val.

l'm supposed to be looking out
for you, too.

Well, l don't need anybody
looking out for me,

including you.

Good, your car's out front.
Have a safe drive.

l'm gonna find my own way home.

Oh, no, l'm not taking
any of the credit.

You're a quick study.

Well, l mean, you have
a lot of patience.

l've been through a lot
of instructors trying

to learn a
decent backhand.

Well, l do have
a lot of patience,

but that's only for people
who l feel have a lot of talent.

Aw.

-Ooh...
-See you at the luncheon.

Yeah.

So Steve, you're back
with Robin.

What happened to Elle?

That just didn't work out.

What do you mean,
it didn't work out?

Uh, it didn't work out.

What do you mean,
it didn't work out?

You said it was in the bag.

Yeah, well, it never made it
into the bag,

and it's just
one of those things.

l don't understand.

Look, it's really embarrassing,
and, uh,

it's something that l thought

could never possibly happen
to me,

so l don't wanna talk about it.

You couldn't perform?

l didn't want to perform.

She's a he.

She's a wha...?

She's a he.

So help me, Brandon,

if you tell one person
about this,

l swear, l'll hunt you down
and beat you senseless!

No, no, no!
No, no, no, no!

No, l'll never tell a soul,
l promise, l promise.

l've done a few things
in my life l'd rather forget.

Nothing quite this extreme,
but...

All right, so tell me
what happened with you

and your little rendezvous
with that vampiress.

Rendezvous-us interruptus,
my friend.

So at least there was
some good news.

l'm glad you made it here
anyway, bro.

l'm just glad l survived.

Don't take any
wooden nickels, bro.

l'm serious, Brandon!

Fore!

Hey, man, that's my hacienda!

You break a window, you're gonna
have to pay for that!

Well, not that l'm so happy

with the circumstances,

but it looks like we needed
this time together

to go over your speech.

l guess l was
a little distracted.

lt's not very good,
is it?

Oh, honey, there's always
room for improvement.

l'm gonna run down the hall

and get some ice
before we get into this.

Ray, can you take care
of the patient?

Sure, Mrs. Martin.

Donna...

Get away from me.

Stay away from me!

Look, it just kills me to see
you sitting there hating me.

l don't hate you.

Well, l'm looking at you
and that's what l see.

l just don't get it.

l mean, this was supposed
to be a nice weekend for us.

l should never have come here.

l told you l shoulda
stayed in L.A.

And when we got here,
l tried to go back, didn't l?

Look, we both know

that no good ever comes out
of me mixing

with your college friends,

does it?

Donna?

All right, let's get started.

Look, you guys have a lot
of work to do,

so l'll see you
both later.

Okay, we'll save a seat
for you right up front.

Oh, come on now,
you can get along

without him
for a couple of hours.

Okay, let's see.

Kel...

l want to apologize
for what l said yesterday.

l wasn't exactly myself.

l don't think you really
left me for Alison.

You seemed pretty devoted
to the idea at the time.

Well, l guess maybe in a way,

it would be easier for me
if that was the case.

See ya.

You can still love someone
without being married.

Why does everything
have to be over?

Kelly, l proposed to you.

And Dylan showed up
with some world tour.

l mean, it was like a weird
contest between the two of you,

and l was caught in the middle.

Do you really think l'd do
something like that to you?

l'm saying that
that's how it felt.

Well, let me tell you
how it felt from my side.

l asked the one person
l ever wanted to spend

the rest of my life with to tell
me that she felt the same way.

lt turned out
l was just another guy.

You weren't.

You aren't.

Yeah, well,
you're going your way

and l'm going mine.

l guess l didn't know you
as well as l thought l did.

So you're never
gonna forgive me?

lt's not a question
of forgiveness, Kelly.

There's just no going back.

Well, l'm not gonna give up
on you yet.

l'll see you around.

Put on the coat.
lt's gonna be chilly.

What, you mean we're
going up in the tram?

Yeah, we got
a private booking

before it opens
to the public.

So, uh, what scene

do you see us filming
up here?

The paraglider chase.

End of the tram
is Mt. San Jacinto.

Top of the world.
No better place.

Try to get the whole picture.

You got five towers supporting
cable that runs

12,800 feet up

with a vertical ascent
of 6,000 feet.

Sure you weren't a tour guide
here or something?

No, l just love riding it.

lt's a feat of engineering

most Californians
never bother to see.

Here we go.

You mean, we're gonna go now?

Without Charley?

He's probably
already up there.

l don't really think
l want to go. Hey!

Hold it there.

Nice view, huh?

You open the door?

Mm-mm! Mm!

l never expected to be taking
you up here like this.

Please, no!

But we know that

you tried to call a, uh...
Christine Pettit last night.

What did you want
with an FBl agent?

Oh that's all right.
No, that's all right.

You, uh, you don't have to
tell me. l can guess.

l bet, l bet you wanted
to know about me.

Or maybe you wanted to know

if l had anything to do with,
uh...killing your old man?

Mm-mm!

Which, by the way,
l didn't,

but l do know who did.

You want to know?

Uh-uh!

Come on. Sure, you do.

Everybody else does.

Even your friends
at the FBl.

They've known all along.

So you want me
to tell you?

Because then
you'll know, too.

l'll do it.

Uh-uh.

l'll tell you.

Uh-uh! Uh-uh!

You want that?

Uh-uh!

Uh-uh!

Uh-uh! Please!

Good boy. Good boy.

Close the door.

l don't want
to hurt you, McKay,

but l don't want
to ever

hear you doing
stupid things again.

You got that?

Hmm?

Good.

Then relax.

We got a movie to make.

Ooh!

You should have woke me up.

That's ''awaken you'' sweetheart,
and l shouldn't have.

You were sleeping
like an angel.

Hey, Tom.

Charley.

Boy, l sure wish
l'd gotten up on time.

How was the
location scout?

We had a
really good time.

Yeah,

yeah, we saw some
great places... for my grave.

You're not serious, right?

No, what l am is gone, okay?

Me and Tom had a little talk
on the way back.

l'm gonna walk away
from this movie deal.

l think you should, too.

-Why, what happened?
-Look...

he'll give you all
the money you need, okay?

Me, l'm going to pack my stuff
and get out of here

before he changes his mind.

Dylan, look, l just wrote
two new scenes.

You know, l think
that l can actually,

probably make Angela work, okay?

Fine, you do it.
Good luck, okay?

But l'm leaving.

l need a long bus ride home.

Well, just hang around
and have lunch then, okay?

Boy, now l know why
Donna was so worked up

about this whole
speech thing.

l know, l had no idea

there was gonna be so
many people here.

You know, if you took
every Alpha in this room

and, and laid
them end to end...

There'd be a lot
of happy KEG guys.

David, Clare.

This is Robin.

-Hi.
-Hi.- Hi.

You remember Kelly.

So, are you ever going
to like me again?

You lucked out.

Brandon and l are talking,
sort of.

So, l like you.

How about me?

You l'm not so sure about.

Oh, so you do prefer
women over men! l see...

l just, l'm kidding.

l'm kidding.

Ray

and Felice Martin?

That's an odd couple.

Yeah, they bonded at the
sing-along after you left.

You'd never know by looking,

but l think Felice is a
closet Beatles fanatic.

What is Valerie doing here?

Obviously you don't
know what happened.

l know he hurt you.

What are you talking about?

l saw it. l was there.

l was there, too,

and l don't even know
what happened.

Look, if you say
anything to anyone...

Take your seats, please.

Take your seats.

We've got a big program today.

We've gotta get
started here.

Take your seats,
please.

Look Donna, l'm not
here to do an expose.

l just want to let you know
that you're not alone.

l mean, you have a friend.

Do l?

Look, l know there's
more going on

with you and Ray
than you let on.

And who told you that?

lt's pretty obvious.

Look, just because
l don't say anything,

doesn't mean l don't know.

You're not my friend.

You're not
anyone's friend.

l'd just like
to remind everyone

that after today's program,

we will be gathering out
front

for our group photo.

Now, our first speaker is
a young Alpha,

from California University.

Let's welcome

Donna Martin,

here to tell us about
the New Alpha Woman.

Hi.

Well, l guess to start with, l
should level with all of you

about how my arm ended up
in this sling here.

Well, no one
gets in the way of an Alpha

when everything's half off
at Ann Taylor's.

You know the Tri-Delt who dared,
she's still in the hospital.

So that's the new Alpha--
no one pushes her around.

Although the alums l've
met here this weekend

can hold their own, too.

That's the whole meaning
of tradition, isn't it?

Passing strength down,
one to the next.

Attention, please-- Bus 1321 ,

express service
to Los Angeles, now boarding.

Please have your
tickets ready.

Express service
to Los Angeles now boarding.

Hey.

You look like l feel.

Well, l'm sorry
you feel this bad.

What the hell happened
to you, chief?

Okay, so, you were hallucinating
Jim and Cindy, right?

Like good cop, bad cop?

You know my parents.

lt was more like good cop,
goody-goody cop.

Right.

Yeah, the subconscious,
it's a bitch.

And so is Valerie.

You know, l'm very impressed
you were able to resist her.

l never could. l always...
l always caved.

Bro, l told you, l had a little
help from two apparitions

and one chief of police.

Not to mention a surprise
visit from Kelly Taylor.

l wish l hadn't mentioned her.

l don't know how l could've
misread her so much.

You wouldn't believe the trip
l had planned.

We were going...

Bro, l had four years
of engagement ring payments

lined up for me.

How'd she manage to get us
both so turned around?

l don't know.

But if it's any consolation,

you have multiple lifetimes
to think about it.

Oh, that's comforting,
thank you.

Answer me this, Bran...

how'd we end up on this bus?

l don't know,

but for once in my
life, l'm in no hurry.

Neither am l.

Ah, you're up.

Time to go?

Well, there's no hurry.

Ray will be here
in a few minutes.

l think l've got just about
everything packed up.

l guess l was tired.

Well, it's been
a big couple of days.

Did l mention to you
how many compliments

l got on my daughter's

inspired speech?

Hmm, about a thousand times.

l want to make sure you know how
very proud l am of you.

l do.

l know it must seem like l give
you a hard time sometimes...

about things.

About ''things''?

About Ray mostly.

Mom, you just really
don't understand.

But l'm trying
to, honey.

l really am.

Because after seeing
him here this weekend...

l know he can fit in.

Seeing how worried he was
about you when you fell,

even l could see how much
he cares about you.

Of course, your father
could see it all along,

and l fought it every inch
of the way, but...

Maybe love does conquer all.

l don't even believe
that anymore.

Well, not all.
l mean, it's not always

going to be easy, of course not.

You have no idea how hard
it's been lately.

Hey, Donna, you ready?

Just a second.

Unless you're saying you
don't love him anymore.

No. l do.

l do love him.

ln the long run, maybe
that's all that matters.

-Hi, Ray.
-Hey.

You take good care of my baby.

l will.

You ready, Donna?

See you later.

Well, that was fun, bro.

Take it easy.

Yeah, give me a call, man.

All right, will do.

Check out the
''for sale'' sign.

Uh, Bran, that sign
says ''sold.''

lt's all been giving a good
''Utz'' to market prices...

Randy, let me call you
right back, okay?

Bye.

-What's that ''sold'' sign all
about? -l am so glad

to see you. Your mom and dad
have been trying to call you.

-What's going on?
-l faxed them an offer

from Mr. Chu that they
could not turn down.

l can't believe
it myself.

All cash.

Short escrow. ln and out.

Everyone's laughing.

Message four. 9:00 a.m.

Dylan, it's Christine again.

l just got back to my
office at the Bureau.

l don't know if you got
my other messages,

but please don't do anything
until you talk to me.

The people in the desert
who you asked me about

are very dangerous.

We're very close to arresting
the men who killed your father

and this is not the time
to get involved.

Don't do anything, okay?

No, Christine... not okay.

Brandon, Brandon,
come and look.

Smile, smile,
look at the camera.

-One, two, three, go.
-Go!

We should take
the candles out.

Okay, ready, and...
Big cut.

Ooh.

Kiss the camera again.

All right here you go,
one, two...

Hey, Val.

Hey, you're not drinking
again, l hope.

No. l'm doing this sober.

l'm not even going to ask
why you're watching this.

Because l've gone
Smurf crazy.

-Okay...
-Keep going.

Okay, come on, Valerie,
wave at the camera.

-Look at that.
-Wave at the camera.

You were expressive,
even back then.

l remember this party.

So do l.

Well, l'm glad
you got back safely.

l hope you can
forgive me.

l think there's a
little too much history

between us not to.

Yeah, we can't
let sex and drugs

ruin our long-time
friendship.

Friends is all we should be.

Ooh, very good, very good.

Look at that!

Well, back to reality.

Yep.

Did you check out the
''sold'' sign in the front yard?

Yeah, l was hoping
it was a mistake.

We've got two weeks
to get out of here.

Well...

a lot can happen
in two weeks.
