Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 6, Episode 9 - Earthquake Weather - full transcript

Mm, mm-mm-mm.

Would you look
at this coastline.

I cannot believe there's
any beachfront left to be had.

I kind of like this one.

No, you don't want
something like that.

You know what, I'm gonna build
something from the ground up.

You know, something
we can design ourselves

with a fireman's pole
and sliding board,

That's a lot of time,
and a lot of work.

Well, we'll take our
time and do it right.

Buy the beachfront property,
rent someplace close.



You make it sound really easy.

Only because it is.

It's a big commitment, though.

So? I'm not afraid
of a big commitment.

In fact, I was even thinking

of making a bigger
commitment than that.

Yeah, what's that?

Oh, I was thinking
about getting married.

Really?

Anyone special?

Not really, just
this girl I know.

The thing is, I don't
know if she's into it.

I guess you'll never
know unless you ask her.

Yep, I guess you're right.



Marry me.

That wasn't a question, and
you're not down on one knee.

Well, you've got a point.

I do love you.

Will you marry me?

Yes, I will.

So what if the calendar
says it's November.

The thermometer just topped
100 degrees at the Civic Center.

Jack, how long have
you been living in L.A.?

It doesn't matter what
month it is, it's beach weather,

and we're dressed for it.

That's right, ladies
and gentlemen.

We're doing our show, naked.

I wish I could go
to Pasadena naked.

If it's a 100 downtown,

it's going to be like
a 110 in Pasadena.

Well, the good news is,

there'll be 24 other
Rose Princess wannabes

melting with you.

Got it.

What is with the dress?

Why, why do you keep wearing it?

All the girls wear the
same dress. It's good luck.

Okay. Got it,

Ray. Hey.

Bad luck.

Hi, Donna.

Ray, what happened to your arm?

What do you mean, what
happened to my arm? You were there.

Your friend Joe did this to me.

I'm sorry, but he was
just looking out for me.

Look, I didn't come down
here to make a big deal about it.

What I did to you was
wrong and I know it

and I've started therapy.

You did? Yeah.

I'm proud of you.

But I need to ask you a favor.

What?

My therapist thinks
it'd be a good idea

if you'd come down and
meet with the two of us.

Why?

Well, I guess she wants to,

you know, get
your point of view.

She thinks it'll help.

Did you tell her we broke up?

Yes.

I don't know.

Donna, this is really
important to me.

Please.

All right. When?

1:00 at the Pico Medical Center.

Dr. Doreen Phillips.

I'll meet you there.

Thanks.

I really appreciate it.

See ya.

Bye.

Are you out of your mind?

Clare, he's trying.

Look, everybody
deserves a little help.

Especially when
they're trying to get well.

I know, I know,
Donna, but I don't know,

I just, I could never do it.

Maybe if he gets
better, it'll save

another girl from getting hurt.

If you ask me...

you're just going
to get sucked into

this whole thing all over again.

You know, this was
an incredible idea.

You are far more romantic
than I ever gave you credit for.

It's not romance,
it's pragmatism.

I figured since
we have to be here

for the newspaper convention,

I figured why not
spend the day at the pool

and the night in the rack?

You know, I don't think

we're gonna make it to the pool.

Oh, yes, we are because
I'm going to put on my trunks

and grab some towels right now.

You know, I take
back what I said.

You're not romantic at all.

Got a jackknifed big... It's
gonna be another hot one...

Come on down to Crazy
Chucks... VCR's, cameras, cam...

♪ Extra saving is what you get ♪

What are you talking about?

There's no such thing
as earthquake weather.

Then how come every time
we have a big earthquake,

it happens when
it's hot, just like this?

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Could you put on some
music? I hate these guys.

You don't like Jack and Mack?

I'm right, you are nuts.

And you are dressed.

Very slow, Keats.

No. Very fast.

Oh, I like that.

Hey, why don't we focus on
some indoor sports for the moment?

We could uh, we could maybe
do some Greco-Roman wrestling.

I heard about this new move,

it's called the beasts
with two backs...

Have you ever heard of it?

Too bad, you lost your chance.

I'm going to the pool. Race ya,

Wait a minute, do
me a favor, put this on,

or we'll never make
it to the elevator.

You know, I never thought
I'd be such a convert.

I mean, I love L.A.

I still can't get
over the palm trees

and the size of
the supermarkets.

Do you know how cold
it is in New York today?

20 degrees.

And they're expecting snow.

I know.

Remind me never to go back.

Plus, I gotta tell you.

This teaching thing,
it's gonna be all right.

It's actually kind of inspiring.

Oh, yeah, you just like the
pretty, young, art students.

No, I'm serious.

I mean, I have time for my
own work, and I like teaching.

Good.

How's that?

It's good.

It's very good.

You know how sometimes
there are moments in life

that are just perfect,

when everything comes
together exactly as it should?

Yeah.

This is one of those times.

Hey.

Hey.

You want to eat before
we get into math?

Nah.

Val's making egg salad.

I'm not hungry.

I'm just trying to be nice.

Clare, you don't
have to try to be nice,

Sorry, must be my nature.

All right, so, it's not,
but I can try, can't I?

Want to play a ball?

No.

I'll just watch you.

I'm going for a record.

I'm gonna make the earth shake.

From what I recall, you
kind of already have.

From what I recall,
we were drugged.

As if that love potion was real.

Well, if it wasn't a love
potion, then why'd we do it?

I don't know...

unbridled passion.

Things that go
bump in the night.

Hey!

You want to make the earth
shake, hang out with me.

I'm so weak.

You sure have a
way with egg salad.

Thank you.

You know, the
secret's in the relish.

I know how to use
just the right amount.

Mmm, can't wait to see

what you do with ham and cheese.

I can't take it anymore.

What are we waiting for?

David, I told you.

I just, I want it to be right.

I don't want to rush
into anything this time.

You call this rushing?

How long are you
planning on waiting?

Well, how about until tonight?

I think I can make it that long.

Fill it in a little bit.

Come on down.

Okay. Okay, move in a
little bit tighter on the right.

All right, oh, gosh,
try not to wilt, ladies.

I know it's hot. Keep smiling.

Remember, chins
up just a little bit.

That looks great, yeah.
There, good. Hold that.

Great. - Great.

Good, that's it.

Good, wonderful,
nice and tall, way to go.

I think I'm going to dissolve.

So much for waterproof mascara.

Okay, ladies, final
interviews are tomorrow.

If you have any
questions to what time

you're supposed to be here,
go ahead and ask the secretary.

Thank you, guys.

I sure hope they
scheduled me early,

or I'll never make it to work.

Well, I don't know
how you do it.

School, job, and this.

At least it's air-
conditioned at work.

Speaking of which,

I'd better get out of this dress

and get into my
oh-so-glamorous uniform.

I'll come with you. Yeah, okay.

Hi, Donna. Hey.

So, next time I
come to your store,

do I get a discount on gum?

No, but I've got the best
slushie machine in town.

Have you looked
at these pictures?

Oh, gosh, just be glad we
don't have to dress like that.

Well, 20 years from now,
girls are gonna be looking

at pictures of us and
thinking we look just as weird.

Speak for yourself,
girlfriend... My beauty is eternal.

Oh, wow.

What's the matter?

This... this woman,

she looks just like my mother.

All you blondes
look alike to me.

Oh, funny.

I mean it.

She's, like, the spitting image.

Donna.

Someone's here to see you.

It's, uh, your
favorite quarterback.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay.

You okay?

No.

She doesn't just
look like my mother.

I think it is my mother.

Hi. Hey, gorgeous.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood.

Uh, since when is Pasadena
even close to your neighborhood?

All right, busted.

How about I take my favorite
Rose Princess out to lunch?

Well, I'm not a princess yet.

But I can't... I have
an appointment.

Oh. Where are you going?

I, uh... I told Ray I'd go
with him to see his therapist.

Why?

Look, we're not
getting back together,

if that's what you're thinking.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

I mean, he almost
hit you the other night.

I just want to see him get help.

Well...

you have to do
what you have to do.

And I have to do
what I have to do.

What's that?

How about we get our
stuff over to the booth

and grab some lunch?

How about some room
service? That's a good idea.

We can eat on the terrace
overlooking the ocean.

Or we can eat on the bed
overlooking the television.

I hear there's a Jim
Nabors film festival on today.

It could be really exciting.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Earthquake!

Let's go! Go, go!

Come on! Go, go, go!

What's happening?
It's an earthquake.

Dylan, hold on to me!

Dylan...

What the hell is going on?

It's an earthquake.

Come on, get under the table.

It's over.

Are you okay?

Colin?

Forget everything I said.

I hate L.A.

What was that?

Earthquake... at least,

I think it was. Oh,
my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Yeah, I-I think so.

It's dead.

Nothing.

Well, then I guess
all we can do is wait.

I'm sure they'll get
us out of here, really.

Hi. I'm Brandon Walsh,

and this is, uh, Susan Keats.

Hi. Ellen. Ellen Marks.

So, Ellen...

exactly how pregnant are you?

I'm due next week.

Oh, my husband,

he's gonna freak
when he can't find me.

Oh, no, I'm sure they'll,
they'll get us out of here soon.

Hello?!

Anybody?!

We're in here! We're stuck!

Ooh...

Oh, my goodness.

What? What's wrong?

My water broke.

How you doing?

I'm okay so far.

I'm a little scared, though.

Well, that makes three of us.

I don't want to
make things worse,

but, um, my last child
came pretty quickly.

I was only in labor
for a couple of hours.

I'm sure they're gonna
get us out of here

before anything like
that happens. Yeah.

I'm sure they just have to...

reprogram the elevator
computer or something.

The elevator computer?

No such thing as earthquake
weather, huh? What was that?

Well, according to reports
from Cal Tech, what we had

measured 6.2 on
the Richter scale.

But seriously, folks,
there is no such thing

as earthquake weather.

Daddy, hi. I was just
calling to tell you I'm fine.

Thank goodness! Yeah,
I'm driving in the car,

I didn't even feel it.

I'm coming back from Pasadena.

We sure felt it here...
This place is a mess.

Are you guys okay?

Well, yeah... shaken
but not stirred.

Dad, I got to ask you

something about Mom.

Donna?

I can't hear y...

Are you there? Donna?

Hello? Dad, it's about Mom.

I thought I saw
a picture of her.

Hello? Daddy?

I can take anything
else... storms,

fires, floods... at least
you get a warning.

Yeah, well, try living
on the side of a volcano,

see how that grabs you.

Hello?

Bruno?

You two okay? Yeah, we're fine.

How about you? Not a nick.

And Dad?

He's out of town...
San Francisco.

But he's already called to
find out if you were okay.

Hold on a sec.

Think we should tell him?

Yeah, he'll find
out sooner or later.

Bruno, are you sitting down?

Why? What are you talking about?

We're getting married.

Speechless is good.

I'm, uh...

just a little
shocked, that's all.

But I'm really happy for you.

Good. You'd better be.

Your father'll be home tomorrow.

Okay. I'll call him then. Bye.

Now comes the hard part...
We have to tell my father.

If I were you, I would let
Bruno worry about that.

What were you saying about
living on the edge of a volcano?

That it was fabulous,
and it was hot.

It'd be the place where
I would take you away.

Hi. Hey. Oh, watch your step.

Oh, my God. COLIN:
Ugh! What a mess.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Hey, how's the loft?

We lucked out.

I mean, some stuff
broke, but then again,

I don't have many breakables.

Except, of course, me.

You scared, huh?

So am I.

No earthquakes in Buffalo.

Ah, but you took it like a pro.

Has anybody heard

from Brandon and Susan?

Yeah. Actually, I
called through the hotel,

and they rang up to the
room, but there was no answer.

So I guess they're okay.

They said there was no
damage, just no lights.

Have you heard from
Donna? Oh, yeah.

She was in the car when it
hit... She didn't feel a thing.

I told her to come
over here later.

You know, we should
just spend the night.

You know, throw some
blankets on the living room floor.

Well, we bought enough
food to feed an army.

A quake party.

Might as well
make the best of it.

Uh, dead batteries.

Listen, I'm gonna
go out to the garage.

Jim and Cindy have a quake kit.

Did you feel that?

I don't know, I'm not sure.

Well, whatever,
I'm coming with you.

I need to be somewhere

where the roof
can't fall on my head.

Okay.

Did you see the
look on his face?

I don't think he's ever gonna
want to come back inside.

You and Valerie

seem to be getting along well.

Oh, I don't think
this is the right time

to start that conversation.

Well, I wouldn't be
a very good sister

if I didn't say something.

Look, Kel, she was there for
me when I needed her, and, uh,

she's been there
for me ever since.

Well, she always has an agenda.

You remember that, David.

Give it a rest.

We just had an earthquake.

I'm glad you could come, Donna.

After that rattler,
I didn't think

I'd be seeing any
patients today.

Well, Ray said it was important.

It is.

Have a seat. Thanks.

Ray wanted you to be here today,

not only because I
have some questions

about your relationship,

but because...

he felt you deserved
some explanation.

Thank you.

I know Ray hasn't
talked to you much

about his family background.

But he and I have discussed
his father quite a bit.

A lot of Ray's behavior
started with a very...

violent and
fear-filled childhood.

Your father hit you?

Well, I was little,
but, uh, I remember.

I was really scared of him.

I'm sorry.

That shouldn't
happen to any kid.

When young children are abused

by their parents, they're
robbed of the love and security

that they need to thrive
and become healthy adults.

Ray,

could you please give Donna
and me a moment alone?

Sure.

Donna...

I want you to know that breaking
a lifelong pattern of abuse

is a very slow process.

Ray is not going
to change overnight.

Well, I hope you can help him.

But I have to tell
you, Dr. Phillips,

I can't stay with him anymore.

I know... Ray's told
me how you feel.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Actually, this therapy

has a much better chance
of succeeding without you.

Really?

I've been feeling so guilty.

That's very common.

But Ray has to deal
with this on his own.

Now, I am
professionally obligated

to warn you that Ray is
very unpredictable right now.

Kind of like that
earthquake we just had.

If you spend time with
him, you are risking

a potentially
dangerous situation.

Hey, how are you
guys doing in there?

Uh, uh, so far, so good,

but you'd better
get us out of here,

'cause I don't know
nothin' about birthin' babies.

I have a paramedic on
the way up, just in case.

Now, we're switching over to
the emergency generator now,

and we had to reprogram
the elevator computer.

I told you so.

Ah, here we go.

We have liftoff.

What just happened?

We got a problem.

No kidding.

The backup generator
keeps shutting down.

We're working on it,

but the Department
of Water and Power

says it could be

a few more hours till this part
of the grid goes back on-line.

What, what?

What, what, what, what?

Don't worry.

We're gonna get through this.

Ah, looks like we're
gonna have a baby.

Well, Jim and Cindy do have
an earthquake kit all right.

The only problem
is, it was buried

behind a garage full of junk.

Are Val and I the only ones

who think it's a good
idea to be prepared?

No, everyone thinks it.

You two are the only
ones that actually do it.

I can't stand this.

Didn't you feel that last one?

Colin, it was an aftershock.

They're gonna happen all day.

You guys are standing
here chopping vegetables,

and every once in a while,
the ground rearranges itself

like it's no big
deal. It's like, it's like

The Twilight Zone in
here. You'll get used to it.

No, I don't think so.

Earthquakes I'll
never get used to.

Have you ever
thought about doing it

during an earthquake?

What hot-blooded
Angeleno hasn't?

Clare, there's a
house full of people.

Well, we could make
the earth move quietly.

So quiet, it's like we're
not doing anything at all.

We don't have to be that quiet.

Brandon, can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah, I can hear you!

I've got a medic here,
and I've briefed him.

Hi, Brandon. Hi, Ellen.

My name is Paul.

Paul, are you gonna
get us through this?

You bet.

I've delivered lots of babies

in some pretty strange places,

but this is my first elevator.

Ours, too.

I'm gonna talk you through this.

We're just gonna let
nature take its course.

You guys are gonna do great.

What if nature goes off course?

I don't even want
to think about it.

This is already too much for me.

I told you we should
have stayed at the hotel.

I want my husband!

Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.

Just talk to me, just tell
me about your husband.

He's, he's a wonderful guy.

He's smart and he's handsome.

He was supposed
to be here for this.

Talk to me about your kids.

Brian is nine and Kate's four.

They're both really
excited about the baby.

I'm so sorry I ruined your day.

You didn't ruin our day.

You just made it a little
more interesting, that's all.

A lot more interesting.

I saw you at the pool.

I like your bikini.

Maybe I'll get back
into one someday.

All right, her contractions
are coming fast;

only a few minutes apart.

Okay, then, Ellen, relax
and remember your breathing.

Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.

We're gonna get
you through this.

You're gonna be fine, okay?

You guys are... are so nice.

Thank you.

It's open!

Hi.

Hey, Donna.

Hey. How's everyone holding up?

Well, I'm on the verge
of a nervous breakdown,

but Kelly says
I'll get used to it.

Oh, can you believe
the apartment?

It's like the whole
neighborhood had an earthquake

and not one thing
in that place moved.

I know. Just one cracked window.

The strangest thing
happened to me today.

What could be
stranger than the random

redecorating we
had this morning?

Well, I'm at the
Tournament House,

I'm looking through photos
of the old Rose Court.

I flip the page and there
among the 25 finalists

in 1969 is my mom.

You're kidding. No.

But she never even
said anything about it.

She's been so negative
about me being involved.

Hmm... maybe it was just someone

who looks like your mom.

No. Knowing Felice,

that's much too simple
of an explanation.

No, Kelly's right.

It was her. I mean, I
would know my own mom.

I'll get it..

Happy earthquake. Oh!

Hi, Kelly. Hi.

Same to you. How you doing?

Good.

Everybody else? Yeah.

Hey, D, what's up?

How'd the house hold up?

Well, actually,
you know, it went

through the Long Beach quake,

the Sylmar quake, the
popular Northridge quake,

and now the biggest jolt of all.

It's not the biggest
earthquake we've ever had.

I wasn't talking about
the Richter scale, Donna.

What are you talking about?

We're getting married.

What?

Yep.

You heard the lady.

Ah, but I'm not
sure I did. Stud.

Hey, congratulations, you two!

Thank you.

I'm really happy
for both of you.

Thanks, Kel. I
knew you would be.

Where's Brandon?

Uh, actually, he and Susan
picked a great weekend

for the retreat at
the beach hotel.

Yeah, I think the
power's still down.

Well, it looks like tonight's
dinner has a theme:

Dylan bites the dust.

Well, let's forget the plastic

and bring out the china.

Yeah, whatever's left of it.

Are you guys gonna stay?

Yeah.

Well, come on. I need some help

setting the dinning room table.

No problem.

So Dylan's getting married.

Yeah.

That wasn't easy
for you, was it?

No.

You did good.

Thanks.

Uh, hey, guys, listen up.

Nat just called. He's got a
huge crowd from the earthquake,

and he lost a lot of dishes.

He said dinner's on him,
if we'll give him a hand.

Can't say no to Nat.

Okay.

It won't be long now.

Is the face up or down? Down!

Good.

Now listen to me, Brandon.
Keep your hands on the head,

and Ellen, you just keep
bearing down. It's almost over.

I can't do this! I can't!

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen,

if I can do this,
you can do this.

Come on now. Come on.

You can do this.
You can do this.

All right, I can
see the shoulders.

Gently pull them down.

It's twisting!

That's okay. Let it.

Make sure to guide it under
the pelvic bone and hold on.

It's slippery.

Ellen, come on, I need one more

big push out of you. Come on.

Give me one big
push. Here we go.

Okay. It's okay, you did it,

Ellen, you did it.

You did it. You did it.

You did it.

It's a boy.

We're moving!

Say hello to your son.

Oh, oh, oh, hello,
little Brandon.

Hello, little Brandon.

♪ People sitting spellbound
as she passes through the... ♪

Number 11, pick it up.
Nat, we're backing up here.

All right, all right.

Okay, keep going.

Joe, hi. What are
you doing here?

The cafeterias dorms are closed.

How long's the wait?

Um, I can squeeze you in.

Dylan, do me a favor.

Take the trash out in the back.

It's starting to pile up.

I got it. Thanks.

How'd it go with
the therapist today?

Better than I expected.

Good.

I hope you're right,

but if I know guys, he's
just using this therapy thing

as a plot to get you back.

Yeah, well, I have to give
him the benefit of the doubt.

Do you realize that
if that shelf fell down,

we'd be crushed by
canned tomatoes?

Would you relax, Chicken Little?

The sky is not falling.

Tell you what,
Henny Penny. What?

I'm sleeping outside tonight.

Want to keep me company?

All right.

Hi.

You and Toni have
the right idea: Hawaii.

I'd love to move
to Hawaii tomorrow.

It's a big state.

I'll be back in a minute.

How could you just
waltz in and make your

big announcement
like it was no big deal?

What are you talking about?

You didn't think of my feelings?

Yes, I did. Oh, well,

thank you for being
so sensitive, then.

You want sensitive?

I'm sorry, Kelly.

Soul mates.

Right.

Tell me something.

Where was Toni when we
were hanging out together

in your past life?

I don't know.

Maybe it never
happened. Maybe it did.

What I know is, I love
her, I love her right now.

Yeah, well, I'm happy for you.

Yeah, you sound thrilled, Kel.

How am I supposed to sound?

I don't know, but I asked
you first, remember?

You said no.

You said you had other plans.

You see, you, you chose you.

I want to hate her so bad...

but I can't.

She seems really nice.

I'm sorry. I hope you'll
both be very happy.

I hope so, too.

Maybe we each have
more than one soul mate.

Yeah, maybe we do.

You must lead a charmed life.

Look at this place,
not a scratch.

Well, maybe virtue
has its rewards.

Then why is my dorm
room such a disaster area?

Hi, Donna.

Ray, what are you doing here?

Well, when I called on the
phone I didn't get an answer,

and I saw your broken window
and decided to board it up.

Look, I thought I made
it clear this morning.

I do not want to
see you anymore.

Look, I was just trying to help.

Don't you listen? She
doesn't need your help.

Hey, was I talking to you?

Ray, please, will
you just leave?

Fine. Fix it yourself.

Joe, please, just let him go.

Come on.

I'm taking you
back to Brandon's.

You sleep okay? Mm...

Mm-hmm.

My nightmares are
during the day now.

Well, it's over.

I hope you're right.

Well, what do you have to say

about earthquake
weather now, Jack?

An anomaly.

It wasn't an anomaly.
It was an earthquake.

6.2, to be exact.

Three miles offshore, due
west of downtown Santa Monica.

Enough already.

How many times can
they say the same thing?

Did you feel all the aftershocks
in the middle of the night?

Uh-uh. Slept right through.

So I noticed.

You know, we actually
slept together last night.

Valerie, that's
not what I meant.

I want to make love to you.

If you can't, that's fine.

But don't make jokes about it.

I'm sorry, it was just
bad timing, I guess.

Yeah, chalk it up
to a natural disaster.

Sorry to interrupt.

Wow, you and Colin actually
slept outside last night?

You'd be surprised
how comfortable

a chaise lounge can be.

All right, well, uh, I'm going
to take a shower, okay?

Bye.

David, I just want to say

that I'm sorry

about what I said
about you and Valerie.

It's none of my business.

Yeah, you're right,
but that's no big deal.

I really don't care
what you say.

I'm crazy about her.

Hey.

Well, I called school.

No classes today.

They have to inspect
all the buildings.

Where's Joe?

Did I see his feet
sticking out from a blanket

around here last night?

Are you kidding?

He can't sleep
anywhere but the dorm.

The whole team has a curfew.

You know, I think you've
got a keeper, Donna.

Thanks. I think so, too.

So, are you going to Pasadena?

11:00.

Want me to go with you?

Thanks, but I think
this is something

I want to do by myself.

You know what, I'm
really proud of you.

No matter what happens,
you really went for it.

Okay, the talk all day is,

where were you
when the little one hit?

We brought a
life into this world.

Can you believe it?

No.

I can't.

I was completely
terrified, you know.

But when I saw you put that
baby in his mother's arms,

it was really... the most
wonderful feeling I've ever had.

I'll never forget that.

What do you think
the chances are

we'll ever do anything
like that again?

Um, gee, people do it every day.

Ever heard of
marriage and children?

Sure, but not in elevators.

I'm really proud of you.

You were really great.

Well, you were no
slouch yourself, Keats.

Maybe I could keep
you around for a while.

You know, just in case I
have any emergencies.

Kind of like a spare set
of fresh batteries, huh?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm. I've got some
fresh batteries for you.

As you know, the
theme of this year's

Tournament of Roses is
Kids, Hopes and Dreams.

All of us here

at the Tournament
House wish you good luck.

Number 675, your question is:

What can we as individuals do

to insure that our children,

and every child, can realize
their hopes and their dreams?

That's a very
interesting question.

No, I'm wrong.

It's a very tragic question.

I never realized until recently

just how fragile children are.

You see, I know this
man who was hit so often

when he was a child,

he grew up thinking
it was normal.

And now that he's a man,

whenever he gets angry, he hits.

I know this because he hit me.

Children are filled with so
many hopes and dreams,

but their futures
are built on our love.

We must protect
our children's hearts,

or their souls can
be damaged forever.

I'd like to thank you for
this wonderful opportunity.

You've helped fulfill
one of my dreams.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, sweetheart.

We meet again.

Yes.

Nice to see you.

I see the earthquake
didn't hit you too hard.

No. Nothing can
take down this house.

It's built like a fortress.

So this must be
the bunker, then?

Let's just say I
have a lot to protect.

We have some very
important news for you.

Yes,

I already know.

Bruno's already told me.

I'm sorry. I should
have told you myself.

No... no, I'm glad he did.

It gave me time to
get over the shock.

Your blessing would
mean a lot to us.

What would you
do, if you were me?

I'm not you.

This was your mother's Bible.

She carried it down
the aisle at our wedding.

Thank you.

I'm so glad that we could
all find time to have lunch.

Your mom and I did not
want to go off to Europe

without spending a
little time with you first.

Well, I've been very busy.

Yeah, haven't we all.

Daddy... Yeah?

I made it to the finals,
the Tournament of Roses.

I had my last interview today.

I didn't know you
were still doing that.

Why didn't you tell us?

Well, Mom was so negative.

She didn't think I'd
make it this far, I guess.

I just didn't want to
give her the satisfaction.

Donna...

Maybe I thought she was right.

I guess maybe I didn't
think I'd make it this far.

Maybe we should
talk about this at lunch.

Just clear the air, okay?

Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.

The traffic on La
Cienega was just awful.

Hi, sweetheart,

Dr. Martin, before you go.

Rosella wants you to take a look

at Mr. Ungar's cardiogram.

Okay, uh, just, just give
me two seconds, sweetheart.

Sure.

Sweetheart, this is
really a pretty dress.

You don't usually wear
things that are so conservative.

Well, I thought it was
appropriate for Pasadena.

Excuse me?

I'm a Rose Court finalist, Mom.

I had my final interview today.

Well...

Why didn't you say something?

Because you made it quite
clear you didn't approve.

No, I don't.

Why not?

'Cause you didn't
make the final cut?

Excuse me?

I was looking
through a photo album

at the Tournament
House yesterday.

You were a contestant

in 1969, weren't you?

I don't know what you're
talking about, Donna.

You know, you're
a terrible liar, Mom.

Although I can't
imagine for the life of me

why you'd lie about...
You're mistaken, Donna.

No, I'm not mistaken.
I saw the picture.

I know what my own mother...

Look, if you would like to
do this Rose Bowl thing,

fine, fine. Far be it for
me to stand in your way.

Is that all you have to say?

Good luck.

So, are my girls
ready for lunch?

I'm not going, Daddy.

I don't really feel much
like lunch right now.

What happened?

She saw my picture, John.

The Rose Bowl picture?

Well, you're gonna
have to tell her the truth.

I can't. We can't.

Think of what that
would mean to her.

She's a big girl, Felice.

I think she can handle it.

Maybe, but I
don't know if I can.

Damn it.

Dylan and Toni are gone.

Everything clear?

Crystal.

No slipups.

No tracing it back.

I want him dead.

Don't worry.

It's a done deal.
