Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 6, Episode 8 - Gypsies, Cramps and Fleas - full transcript

At a Halloween party at the Peach Pit After Dark, a mysterious gypsy named Madame Raven shows up, in which David buys a love potion from her to increase his growing relationship with ...

Morning.

Hey, happy Halloween.

Ray, what are you doing?

Bringing you your, uh,
anniversary present.

It's not our anniversary.

What are you talking about?
Of course it is.

I mean... I mean,
we have nothing to celebrate.

Well, sure we do.

It's, um... It's a...

It's a new year, new beginning.

And this time,
we're gonna get it right.



I got it right the first time.

Well, hey, are you gonna go

to that Halloween party
tonight at the After Dark?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

- Need a ride?
- Ray.

Hey, you can't blame a guy
for trying, right?

I am trying, Donna.

I know you are.

So, look, um,

I'll be there tonight
if you want to talk

or maybe even dance.

We'll see.

Hey, Donna?



Happy anniversary.

I woke up this morning,

and my baby was gone.

Your baby was on a mission.

Well, what was she getting?

I thought... I thought
you were gonna get, like, milk.

I was expecting milk,
bread, you know, butter.

Have we forgotten
what day it is?

We have trick-or-treaters
to entertain tonight.

Entertain?

I mean, look,
usually on Halloween,

I-I pull the curtains,
I sit here in the dark

with a rocket launcher
on my lap, and it works for me.

Charming, but now
that we're roommates,

everything's going
to be different.

No hiding out, no brooding.

Like it or not,
you're going to join the living.

Right. So what are we gonna do

with young David Silver here,
put it in my closet?

Front door.

Oh, look out, look out. Trouble.

Oh, what do you mean, trouble?

She's adorable.

Come here, little girl.

Nah... No, don't do that.

Come here.

The last thing I need
right now is a black cat.

- That is bad luck.
- Don't be superstitious.

Look, she's the perfect
Halloween pet. Oh.

Yeah, perfect Halloween...
fleas and stuff.

Hey. We can fix that.

Oh, come here, little kitty.

Did I ever tell you
how I hate pets?

Come here, baby.

Well, you don't anymore. No.

Hello.

I know we talked about it.

You know I hate them.

Tarot answers the question
that's most important

to you right now,
based on your past,

your present and your future.

So, in other words,

these cards are telling you

that you're incredibly kind,
generous and gifted.

It goes much deeper than that.

Hmm.

Oh, incredibly kind, gifted,

generous, pretty
and smart, right?

Laugh all you want, guys,

but I think
there's some truth here.

Like this last card...
my significator.

This one applies directly to me.

- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.

Lovers.

I thought you said nothing
happened between you and Steve?

- Nothing did.
- Well, it looks like

something will.

I mean, it's in the cards.

- Woo
- Woo!

Come on, Clare, we're
gonna be late for school.

So, are you standing me up
for the party?

No. I just want to meet
you there, that's all.

- But I thought we had a date.
- We do.

I just want my costume to
be a surprise, that's all.

Come on, give me a little hint.

Okay.

It's very feminist.

You... a feminist?

Shocker.

Let me guess...
you're going as yourself?

Cheeseburger, French fries,

Chili dogs, two
steak sandwiches.

This guy's incredible.

The guy's a vacuum cleaner.

How often does he do this?

- Tuesday and Thursday
before every game. - Hey.

- What's up, Steve?
- How are you?

Donna Martin, this is my buddy

from Comparative Lit,
Joe Bradley.

Hey. The quarterback
who's taking C.U.

to the Rose Bowl, right?

- The quarterback, anyway.
- Burger done.

Bring on the BLT.

Whoa. Don't waste time.

Mowing. Go, boy.

Why? Why is he doing this?

We're on a winning streak.

And Tiny's superstitious.

A.K., don't go
spreading that around.

Someone might get
the wrong idea.

Yeah, that's for sure.

I think it's pretty silly.

Okay, but do you want
to be the one to tell him?

Uh, no, thanks.

I don't think I want to be
an hors d'oeuvre at this moment.

Hey, Joe, I think
I saw your order ready.

Double cheeseburger, no tomato,
baked potato,

plain, a slice of cherry pie.

Isn't that the winning
streak special?

Busted.

Okay, so I taught Tiny
everything he knows.

So, just how superstitious
are you?

On a scale of one to ten?

Eleven.

I mean, when you're winning,
it's not like

you don't change your underwear
or anything, is it?

Define change.

Once a day.

I think my food's getting cold.

That-That's disgusting.

Don, sometimes they
don't wear underwear.

Oh. You're kidding, right?

Sorry, but it's your fault.

You're incredibly cute
when you're being teased.

Um, I got to go to class.

When will I see you again?

Are you going
to the After Dark tonight?

I am now.

Bye.

There you are.

Hey, Clare.

Hi.

I've been wanting
to talk to you.

Yeah, me-me, too.

What happened
in the hotel last week,

what happened between us...

Well, nothing happened
between us.

I know, and I think we're lucky.

Yeah, I know. Me, too.

I don't know what I was thinking

going to a hotel room
with you in the first place.

Me, either.

Well, I know
what you were thinking.

Please don't flatter yourself.

It was a fleeting
thought at best,

but I had nightmares
all week. It...

It wouldn't have worked.

Speaking of, uh, nightmares,

can you tell me what you're
wearing to the party tonight

so I can avoid
having any contact with you?

And I was so looking forward

to your intellectual
superiority.

You know, I'm... I'm going
to miss tutoring you.

I was actually beginning
to enjoy the concept

of getting paid to constantly
remind you of your shortcomings.

I'm sure you'll find
someone else to condescend to.

Yeah, but it won't be nearly
as much fun, Steve.

I'm hungry.

David, what's with

the camper from hell outside

taking up three spaces?

We don't have enough room
as it is.

Oh, Nat's helping out
this Madame Raven.

What's a Madame Raven?

That's a Madame Raven.

She's a fortune-teller.

What is she doing here?

Well, I'm not really sure,

but it looks like she's staying.

David, I'll be right back.

20 bucks a pop?

It's a little steep, isn't it?

Madame Raven didn't know
love had a price.

It doesn't.

And this potion would be
priceless if it really worked.

Listen, Nat, we need to talk.

Valerie, I want you
to meet Madame Raven.

Hi.

You are a very busy woman.

Sometimes too busy

to see the effect
you have on people.

Listen, Nat, we're gonna have
a full house tonight.

The rag lady's got to go.

It's extremely bad luck
to turf a fortune teller.

So, do you have to give her
the keys to the candy store?

You're having a party?

I could tell fortunes.

Ten dollars a reading.

Five with a student I.D.

Oh, want to sit over here, Tom?

She wants to hang a shingle
and tell fortunes.

You know that would be great,

but I've already seen my future,
and you're not in it.

Hey, how's it going?

It's done.

Are you okay?

'Cause I've been here a lot,
and you seem distracted.

I've got a lot on my mind.

It's beautiful.

Probably worth twice
what I'm paying.

Great.

Make the check payable
to my landlord.

Why?

Are you behind on rent?

How is that possible?

I mean, I thought the opening
of your gallery was a big hit.

Right, none of my business.

I need to get paid.

Look, I'll get a check to you
by the end of the day, okay?

Colin...

if you need anything,

anything at all,

I'll be here for you.

Thanks.

It's nice to know
someone's in my corner.

I see...

great distress in your life.

Well, my mom hasn't been well.

I see sadness.

She is getting better, though.

And hope in the form
of a savior.

A soul mate.

Oh, that's, uh, Valerie.

You are in love,
but there is uncertainty.

Misunderstanding.

Someone else, perhaps?

Well, there were others
in the past.

But now? Who?

The, uh, crystal ball
has clouded.

We must consult again later.

Later? What am I supposed
to do in the meantime?

You love her,
you want her to love you.

Madame Raven has just the thing.

A love potion.

Wait a second. Is that the stuff

you were cooking up
in the Peach Pit?

No thanks, really.

You drink some,
give some to your intended,

and I promise, love will flower.

Making a happy face
or a sad face?

I haven't decided yet.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see if you're okay.

Fine.

Never better.

Yeah.

Yeah, me, too.

Shouldn't you be finishing
your mural or something?

What makes you
think I haven't?

You don't have a job yet.

I got to tell you,
I just keep thinking

getting a job means
I'm not really an artist.

Aren't you the one who told me
that most living artists

don't really make
a living at it?

Yeah.

But I always expected

myself to be the exception
to that rule.

Me and David Hockney.

A little humility
might do you good.

Trust me, I'm humble.

In fact, I'm begging.

Please come to
the unveiling tonight.

I don't know.

Will you at least consider it?

I'll consider considering it.

Thanks for stopping by.

All right.

It's okay.

Tought I taw a putty tat
who needed a bath.

Come here, you.

Oh, she won't mind.

Poor baby, she can't
stop scratching.

Be careful, 'cause when
you put cats in water,

they don't like it.

Okay, she'll... Ow!

- Ooh, see, see!
- Ow!

- Give me that.
- Mm.

Hey, that's bad.

- Go disinfect that.
- Whoa.

Trouble has a dark side.

See what you're doing?

Dylan.

Band-Aids are in this cabinet.

Well, I'd like to talk about
what was in this cabinet.

Ah, it's pretty
self-explanatory, isn't it?

Guns make me nervous, Dylan.

Why do you have this?

Rough city, need protection.

Protection from the street crime
in Beverly Hills, I see.

I just don't want anybody
to get the drop on me, okay?

Anyone or my dad?

Dylan, I thought you gave up
this revenge business.

I did.

I just, I can't be sure
the same can be said

- of your father.
- Oh, great.

Well, now you're both
armed and dangerous.

No, I'm just armed.

Get rid of the gun
before someone gets killed.

I mean it, Dylan. Say it.

All right, all right.

I'll get rid of it.

Ray.

- Donna, hi.
- Hey.

Your mom told me
where I could find you.

Listen, I've been thinking about

the conversation
we had this morning.

Hey, I was wrong
to just show up.

I should never have done that.
I'm sorry.

Please, just listen,

'cause I really need you
to understand this.

I'd like to talk to people
at the party tonight.

And I just, I don't want you
to get upset about it.

So what, you, uh,
you have a date?

No. No, I don't.

But there is someone else.

I'm not sure.

But I'd like to find out.

And I can't do that if
I feel like I'm being watched.

Is that the way I make you feel?

Sometimes, yeah.

Are you asking me not to come
to this party tonight?

I'm asking you
to go as my friend.

And if you can't, then don't.

Look, if you want
to cool things off,

that's okay,
I can understand that.

But I am going to win
you back, Donna.

But you understand
about tonight, right?

Yeah.

Look, it's best this way, okay?

Yeah, sure it is.

I got to say, I miss you.

I thought you might
have called me.

You okay here?

Yeah, everything's great.

Good.

That was worrying me.

He wants to meet
with you... talk.

He's pretty broken
up about all this.

I don't know, Bruno.

He'll meet you anyplace you say,

anytime.

He just wants to talk.

Even the Peach Pit,
if you want to.

What's going on?

It's okay, Dylan.

My business here is done.

Yeah, I would say so.

You'll let me know?

Yeah.

Thanks for coming, Bruno.

I missed you, too.

Just testing.

Do I want to know
what that's about?

My father.

He's asking, Dylan.

Maybe it's his way
of declaring a truce.

I am so sorry.

Please, let me
help you with that.

I am Madame Raven.

I didn't know anyone was there.

Isn't it your job
to know things like that?

You have a secret, my dear.

Right.

I'm hungry.

She's not the only one.

Love potion, huh?

Buy two, get one free.

No, I think we're doing

just fine on our own.

Does the other boy
think so, too?

What other boy?

The one in Seattle.

Susan, let's go.

Um, go ahead and order.

I'll be right there.

I-I just left something
in the car.

So how'd you know
there was somebody in Seattle?

Madame Raven knows all.

Ha!

In other words, lucky guess.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Right. Like you see
something in there.

Do you see something in there?

Yes.

I see you paying me ten dollars.

Why am I doing this?

Because you are confused.

Because this man from your past,
this Jonathan...

Whoa-whoa.

How'd you know his name?

Did somebody put you up to this?

This man is still
very much on your mind.

True?

Yes.

True.

I mean, I...

really care about Brandon,
you know,

but we're total opposites.

And this other guy, we...

I don't know... we just have
so much in common, and...

Oh, I'm so confused,

I really, I... I don't know
what to do.

It is fading.

That is all I see.

The rest you have to see
for yourself.

Of course,
for another ten dollars,

anything is possible.

You know, I got to tell you,
with everything you and Dylan

have been up against, you
really have made it work.

I'm glad for you.

Thank you.

Antonia.

Dad, this is Brandon.

Brandon, this is my father.

How do you do?

Talk to you later, Toni.

Bye, Brandon.

You wanted to see me,
here I am.

Okay, all right.

I behaved badly the other day.

We both did.

Come home with me now,

and we'll forget about
the whole thing.

I'm not ten years old.

You can't
order me around anymore.

Antonia, you're still young,

and you don't have to settle.

Believe me.

There'll be others
besides Dylan.

I don't want others.

I want Dylan.

And I want something from you.

I want you to look me in the eye
and tell me the truth.

Did you kill Dylan's father?

No.

Did you have him killed?

Toni, what a question.

That's not
a straight answer, Dad.

Look...

don't get into this.

You don't know the first thing
about Jack McKay.

You don't know
what kind of man he was.

You don't know
why he was killed.

I don't care
what kind of person he was

or why he was killed.

All I care about is if you
had anything to do with it.

Now you never lied to me,

and I know you won't
lie to me now.

Did you have Jack McKay killed?

What is it?

What did he say?

You were right about him, Dylan.

You come to see me
at my daughter's wedding.

Oh, Steve Martin,
Father of the Bride.

No, no, no.

Someday... and this
day may never come...

I may come to you and
ask you for a favor.

Oh, right, I-I know this one.

What the hell is he doing?

Overacting?

Doing the Godfather.

Oh, well, thank you, Keats.

Well, you are my favorite
animated feminist.

Oh, wait a second.

I'm not a cartoon.

I'm the historical figure
Pocahontas.

I do not sing,
I do not like wind.

Well, I'm glad
we got that straight.

You know, Pokey,
uh, maybe you and I

should go get
our fortune told.

Well, no!
I-I mean, it's-it's,

uh, it's just such
a waste of time.

Well, you'll have to excuse
me if I indulge myself.

I have to see if you're gonna
do a rain dance for me later.

Ahoy, matey.

Hey.

There's a devil on my shoulder.

And here I thought
you were an angel.

Shh. I'm undercover tonight.

So what do we really
want to know about?

I know.

How about how
the Supreme Court's gonna rule

in upcoming decisions.

How about our relationship?

Would you settle for who's gonna
win the Super Bowl?

Well, if the fix is in,
I want to know about it.

Oh!

Something still
stands in the way.

Something hidden.

A feeling for someone?

Well, it's not Kelly,
'cause I'm over her.

Madame Raven did not say it was
a woman who stood in the way.

Well, thank you so much
for your insights.

We'll be going now.

I see it now.

Yes.

It is not a person
who stands in the way.

It is something else.

It is truth.

That's all I see.

Five bucks for her to tell
me you're not Pocahontas.

That's interesting.

Well, that was pretty generic.

Ah, I guess you were right
about it being a waste of money.

Jonathan Casten.

The editor of
The Condor last year.

What about him?

The guy...

The one standing in the way.

You mean, you two...

I thought you had a thing
against office romances.

I do.

Now.

Because of him.

And how come you never
told me about him?

Because he's ancient history.

Look, there was a time
when he meant a lot to me.

And when he moved to Seattle,
I did miss him a lot, you know.

But then I met you and...

What was that for?

For telling me the truth.

Okay, it's that time.

No sign of Kelly.

Well, some things
you've got to do alone.

Uh, greetings and, uh...
thank you all

for coming tonight
for the unveiling

of the Peach Pit After Dark's
new mural,

painted by a gifted artist

and an old friend of mine,
Colin Robbins.

Thanks, Valerie.

And thank you all
for coming tonight.

The mural is called
"Kelly's New York."

I just wish the person
who inspired me

to paint this was here.

Um... anyway, enjoy.

Nice mural.

Nice costume.

You, too.

Funny, we both seem to have

the Western motif happening.

Is it synchronicity
or did you check with Donna?

I checked with Donna.

Uh-huh.

Want to dance?

Trick or treat!

Wow, trick or treat, I guess!

All right, here we go,
we got chocolate,

we got lollipops,
we got bubble gum.

It's sugarless,
don't worry about it.

Ooh, look at the cat. Nice.

You should've had
a better lawyer.

Here, take some extra.

There you go.

Think you got
enough there, slim?

- It's a long trail, go ahead.
- Bye.

All right, knock yourself out.

See you.

Trouble, come on.

Hey, come on, lighten up.

She's just playing
a little bit.

I know she's just playing.

Can we stop getting the door
for the rest of the night?

Okay, but, uh, we got two bowls
of candy left here.

Just set them out on the porch.

What happened to all
your Halloween spirit?

I was just thinking
about my father.

I loved him so much.

I idolized him.

Now, I'm so ashamed of him.

I don't know, I...

I'm just afraid
of what could happen to us.

I'm not.

And you can't blame yourself

for things
that your father's done.

You just, you gotta...

you gotta let it go.

I did.

Now, the night is young

and to quote a very wise woman
I once knew,

"You are going
to join the living,

whether you want to or not."

So come on.

- Okay.
- All right.

All right, I'll be a witch.

If one more person comes up
and tells me that Clare and I

look like a couple,
I'm gonna throttle them.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Hey, I Dream of Jeannie
and Major Nelson.

- That's a great couple's
costume. - David!

We're not a couple, okay?
Please, we're not a couple.

Look, I am not Major Nelson.

This happens to be the
official Apollo 13 uniform.

Apollo 13?

They wore space uniforms,
you buffoon.

Look, this is their dress
uniform, okay, Einstein.

Mm-hmm, okay, Major Nelson.

You know what, you guys
duke it out, me and David are

just going to make
the rounds, okay?

Shall we go? Okay.

You don't waste
any time, do you?

You don't waste
any time at all.

Ray, I thought
we talked about this.

No, you talked about it.

What about what I have to say?

I love you, Donna,

and I'm willing
to change for you.

But all you can do is trash me.

Look, man,
I'm giving you a warning.

This one's gonna cut
your heart out.

I'm sorry.

I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be.

Look, can we forget that
happened and just dance?

We can try.

You want me to take you home?

I feel weird.

I think it's hot in here.

It is hot in here.

Maybe we should get some air.

Better yet,
maybe we should just

sneak into the dressing room,

crank up the air conditioning?

All right. Here you go.

Full payment
for a job well done.

Earned every penny.

Thanks,
I really appreciate it.

I got to go.

Well, it looks like you have
a new patron of the arts?

Yeah, unfortunately,
the kind of money

Valerie pays
isn't gonna support me

in the style to which
I've become accustomed.

Well, maybe you should
change your style.

Actually, I was
thinking the same thing.

Remember that teaching assistant
position at C.U.?

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, I'm going to take it,

if they'll have me.

What's gotten into you?

You've gotten into me.

Well, I'm glad to see
I'm having a positive effect.

I like that.

Let me crank this up.

Yeah, it'll be
better in a second.

You know, I've been thinking.

About that night
in the hotel room.

Yeah, me, too.

Clare, it's not like, uh,

I'm not attracted to you, I am.

And I'm attracted to you, too.

I just don't think
we'd work as a couple.

No, I mean, you're a typical,
male-chauvinist, frat guy.

And you're a self-righteous,
stuck up snob.

We'd hate each other.

I hate you now.

Not as much as I hate you.

- You want to?
- Uh-huh.

I thought you'd never ask.

Come here.

You sure go all out.

Yeah, my roommate and her
boyfriend must have done it.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

Yeah, they are.

And so are you.

Which is part of what makes
what I'm going to say so hard.

Maybe I should back off,
give you some space.

What do you mean?

Just what happened at the party
with your ex.

I figure that maybe
right now is not the, uh...

the best time
to start something up.

I'm sorry.

Ray, what are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

Look, I'm sorry
that I lost my head.

Let me explain.

No, you know, you can't
keep coming back here

trying to explain things away.

Come on, Donna, I want
this to work, okay?

What do you think
of all the pumpkins?

I lit them all up for you.

And then you spied on me.

Ray, it is over. Over!

What is wrong with you that
you can't understand that?

What's wrong with me?

You were the one
out there acting

- like a little slut tonight.
- How dare you.

Look, he is not
the one for you.

We belong together.

I do not want to talk
to you anymore.

I'm going inside.

- Do not turn your back on me,
all right? - Ow!

- Let go! - Not until you
at least listen to me.

She said let go.

Hey, take a hike, Captain Hook.

Ow, Ray, you're hurting me.

Did you hear me?

How's it feel to be
on the receiving end?

That's enough, please.

Doesn't feel too good, does it?

This isn't over.

It's over.

It's over.

Thanks.

No problem.

For everything.

I'd hate to think what
would have happened

if I didn't come back.

Yeah, me, too.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah.

But I'm curious.

What made you come back?

On my way back to my car,

I uh, I changed my mind
about something.

What?

That stuff I said before.

About giving you time and space
to work things out with your ex.

That was my fear talking.

Well, I'm not so scary.

You'd know that
if you knew me better.

I'd like that.

Well, the party was
a big hit tonight.

I couldn't have done it
without you.

Why are we doing this?

Because I like you.

Why else?

I don't know.

Guilt...

Ioneliness...

Madame Raven's love potion.

You didn't.

Yeah.

That is so sweet.

So, is it me or the potion?

David, there is no such
thing as a love potion,

okay?

Okay.

Hey.

Hey, Steve, am I mistaken,

or did you have
company last night?

Yeah, not that it's any of your
business, but Clare stayed over.

I don't know what got into us.

Must've been
something you drank.

Yeah, well, it must've been
something pretty strong

to do what I did.

Sounds like Madame Raven's
love potion to me.

Love potion?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Nat. What happened
to Madame Raven?

She did what all
fortune-tellers do,

she disappeared without a trace

and without paying her bill.

Pardon me.
Are you the owner?

Yeah.

Well, maybe you can help me out.

Have you ever seen
this woman before?

She goes by the name
of Madame Raven

and sells some kind
of bogus love potion.

No license to vend,
and to tell you the truth,

we don't know what
the hell is in that stuff.

Anyone seen her?

There was a report
that she was around.

No, not me.

Can't help you, Officer.

Well, thanks for your time.

You guys believe that?

Arresting a fortune-teller
on Halloween?

That's like hauling
Santa Claus in on Christmas.

Or dropping a dime on
the Easter Bunny for egg fraud.

Well, I, uh,

I happened to manage
to hold on to one bottle of it.

How much you want for that?

It's not for sale.

Oh, everything's for sale.

No, not to you.

Oh, come on, I could
use a bottle of that.

I'm gonna have to go ugly early.

That's true,
but you're not gonna get it.

My father died right there.

And this is where I stood.

Why'd you want
to come here, Dylan?

I don't know.

I just had to see it
one more time...

before I let it go.

Do you think you can
really do that?

We can't stay here.

We got to move.

Where do we go?

Well, the good thing
about that is,

we've got a whole
lifetime to fill up.

We can go anywhere you want.

I want warm weather,
beautiful scenery...

It sounds to me
like you want Hawaii.

Hawaii, what's in Hawaii?

My mom, my sister.

Sun, sand, surf.

And what about school?

We'll get you enrolled in one
as soon as we get there.

Me?

Yeah, don't worry about me.

I am gonna do something
with my life.

So, what do you say?

I say you'd better answer
my question first.

Can you really let it all go?

So, what do you say now?

- Aloha.
- Aloha.

Mm-hmm.
