Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 7, Episode 10 - Lost in Las Vegas - full transcript

The increasingly manic-mannered David takes Valerie, Steve and Clare for a wild weekend to Las Vegas where his increased drinking and gambling threaten to turn the events bad, and Ray Pruit is performing at their hotel. David ends up picking up two prostitutes and takes them to a seedy motel where they drug and rob him. David is forced to call Donna for help who arrives in Vegas to comfort him. She yells at Steve, Clare, and Valerie for letting David get out of control. Meanwhile, Kelly finally asks Mark to spend the night with her. Also, Brandon befriends Melanie, a diminutive young woman passing through town and who gives him advice on his future career.

Hey!

Are you sure you don't want
to go to Vegas this weekend?

I'm telling you,
Silver's footing the bill,

and Ray is playing
at the hotel lounge.

Steve, I'm not going.

Excuse me.

Yeah, well, who could blame you?

House all to yourself,

a gorgeous anchorwoman
to chase around in it.

Steve,

how many times
do I have to tell you?



She went home for the holiday.

She finished her midterms early,
she went home to see her family.

You know, Bran, some
of the things you do

don't make sense to me at all.

Really?

Home alone

or a free rollicking
weekend in Vegas.

Like, where is the choice there?

It amazes me how
different we really are.

You're absolutely right, Steve.

We are very different.

I mean, when you think about it,

we're two really
different people.

I try not to think
about it, Steve.



Things like that keep
me awake at night.

What are you working on?

Over here?

Uh-huh.

It's my term paper for my
independent study class.

I'm almost finished with it.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have

anything inside this
computer that I could,

you know, just check for format?

Yeah, sure.

I got something good in here.

Yeah? Here you go.

Uh-huh.

Right in here.

There you go, check that out.

"The Hostile Witness:

Taking the Fifth Amendment, A
Cursory Review of Famous Liars."

Where do you get this stuff?

Like you said, Sanders,
we're different, very different.

What'd you get on this paper?

What do you think?

Steve,

can you please help
me with these bags?

I can't lift them all.

Yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

I'll get it.

You work.

Well, thanks, pal.

What are friends for?

An "A," huh?

Ah, what the hell.

It's just an
independent study class.

Like the man said,
what are friends for?

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Val, hey.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Look, I want to
make sure we get,

uh, on the road
before the traffic starts.

You know what I'm saying?
Otherwise, it could take,

like, five hours just
to get to the I-15.

And-and that's with a shortcut.

David, I told you, we've
been waiting for you.

Clare just took the bags down.

Okay, look, make sure
everybody is ready, okay?

Make sure, like, the bags
are by the door and stuff.

I don't want to sit
around sipping coffee,

you know what I'm saying?

David, I get it.
It's under control.

Just get off the phone

and get here, okay?

All righty, I'm on my way.

Be ready for me.

David, listen...

Yeah?

I just wanted to say thanks,

for everything.

Without you, I'd be
in a mess right now.

And, um, you've helped
me and the club out.

Ah, come on, no sweat.

That's what I'm here for, baby.

You're a true friend.

Look, I booked the
best suite in the hotel.

So, uh, I'm planning
on showing you

a weekend you'll never forget.

Sounds good to me.

Viva Las Vegas.

Viva Las Vegas.

♪ ♪

You know, I wonder how
fast I can make this bird fly.

Should we, uh, check it out
and see what the top end is?

Let's not and say we did.

Ah, come on.

Let me just open
it up a little bit.

Ah, what the heck. Let's do it.

It's your license, Silver.

All right.

Everybody got
their seat belts on?

Whoo-wee!

David...

Ah, it's so smooth!

David, David, slow down, okay?

Steve, please.

David, chill a little bit.
You're scaring Clare.

Oh, come on, man.

I'm just having some fun.

This is incredible!

Whoo! CLARE: David!

David, slow down, okay, please.

Come on, Silver,

that's enough
already! Slow down!

David, I'm serious, okay?!

Slow down!

Silver, slow down!

That's enough! What the hell is

the matter with you,
man?! You got a little

vodka in your water
bottle or you just crazy?!

Just crazy, man.

Just crazy.

Okay, fine, I'm sorry.

Are you serious?! Come on!

What?

You guys are ridiculous, man.

Good morning, Mark.

How'd you know it was me?

Well, you've been signaling me

every day for the past
week at the very same time.

I guess I just had a hunch.

Have I told you
lately that I love you?

Yes. I think so.

Good.

Because I'm planning
on blessing you

with my presence for
the entire weekend.

What do you say we
pretend to study together?

Sounds very educational.

All right!

I'll pick you up in an hour.

I got to stop by the
station for something,

and then we'll hide away
for the rest of the weekend.

Is it a plan?

Sure.

Are you sure I
told you I love you?

I vaguely recollect
hearing something like that.

Bye. Bye.

Bussich, how many
years I been coming in here

ordering the same old
food off the same old menu?

Six. That's not funny.

What, are you
counting or complaining?

I'm complaining at this
point in time, my friend.

I'm seeing the same old food
on here but brand-new prices.

You know what they say, pal.

The more things change,
the more they stay the same.

You got a customer.

And what can I get you?

Uh, a cup of coffee.

You got it.

Same old coffee,
brand-new price.

Here we go.

I'm sorry, I-I don't want this.

You don't want my java?

It's the best coffee
on the Westside.

I-I'm sure it's
wonderful, but, um,

I just changed my mind.

Oh. Okay.

So what do you want?

I don't want anything really.

I... I was hoping that I
could just sit here for awhile.

Sure.

Are you all right?

No, actually, I'm not.

Can I be honest with you?

Honesty is always
the best policy.

Yeah.

I don't know what to do.

What's the matter?

I just got into town,

and I was waiting
at this bus stop

a couple of blocks from here.

And I was headed
to see my fiancé,

'cause we're getting married.

And this guy

on rollerblades came
by, and he stole my purse

and everything in it...

My money

and the address to where

I'm supposed to meet my fiancé,

and he's waiting for
me. So I'm sitting here,

and I'm trying to
remember where to go.

But it's my first
time in Los Angeles,

and I don't know what to do.

Well, uh, take it easy.

We'll figure something out.

Right?

Yeah, yeah, of course we will.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Well, what should I do?

Have some breakfast,
on the house,

and then we'll try to
figure this thing out.

Right, Brandon?

Absolutely.

By the way, my name
is Brandon Walsh.

And your lovely hostess
here is Nat Bussichio.

Same old Nat, brand-new price.

I'm Melanie Harold.

I'm from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

Well, anyway, thanks
for being so nice.

I'm, uh, pretty scared.

No need to be scared.

Listen, you just have some food,

and, um, I'll give you a ride
anywhere you need to go.

Really?

Absolutely.

You got nothing to worry about.

I really do.

I-I don't know where I'm going.

Oh.

Well, we'll figure
something out.

Yeah, yeah.

Relax.

Good morning.

What are you up to?

Nothing.

Trying to study but
mostly just thinking.

About what?

About David.

Why didn't you go
with him to Vegas?

I don't know.

It's just, whenever I'm around,

David says I start acting
like his mother or something.

And he gets so mad
and goes on and on

about it's his life,
it's his money.

He just acts so
crazy, I can't stand it.

Well, Steve, Clare and
Valerie are with him.

Come to think of it,
maybe you should worry.

Yeah, well, Valerie
certainly can't be much help.

Well, I'm sure Steve
and Clare won't let him

do anything too stupid.

Yeah, well...

You know, I just don't get it.

David has everything anyone
could possibly want right now,

and he's set on
throwing it all away.

Donna, you've always

done your best for him.

It's like this money
has turned him

into some sort of a monster.

I don't really think

there's anything
left for you to do.

Maybe you're right.

But when it comes
to David lately,

I'm afraid nothing can stop him.

You're sure this is the place?

As far as I can remember.

Thinking about it
over breakfast helped.

Wilshire Crescent Motel.

Yeah, I think this is it.

God, I hope he's here.

There's only one
way to find out.

Hi. I'm Melanie Harold

and I believe my
fiancé is staying here.

What's his name?

Phil Harris.

He was here.

He left a couple of days ago.

Really? Um...

Well, did he say where he went?

Um, he must've left
something here for me.

No, I'm sorry. No forwarding.

Oh, no. What am I gonna do now?

Hey, listen, man,

if you hear from him,
have him give us a call

at this number, will you?

What's that?

It's the number at my house.

You're staying with me.

Brandon, I couldn't.

You've already done
so much already.

I don't think you have much
of a choice now, do you?

Well, no, I don't,
but I don't know

if I'd feel comfortable.

I... How do I know
I can trust you?

Isn't that supposed
to be my line?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Melanie, would you relax?

This is Los Angeles,
nothing bad happens here.

Well, almost nothing
bad happens here.

Whew!

Thanks a lot.

Thank you, Mr. Silver.
This is very generous.

Oh, no problem.

Hey, look, you can
call me David, all right?

And that's uh, that's Valerie.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi. I'll be sure to make your
stay as comfortable as possible.

If you need anything,
anything at all,

be sure to give us a ring.

Would you like me to
uncork the champagne?

No, no, I'll take care of that.

As you wish. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks a lot.

This is incredible.

Mm-hmm.

Whoo!

Yeah, it's a comp.

If I gamble at least ten
grand in their casino,

the room is free.

You're gonna gamble that much?

What, are you kidding?

I'm gonna win that
much and more.

Boy, you sound confident.

I am.

So, um, where am I gonna sleep?
There's more than one bedroom.

Where do you want to sleep?

Whoo!

Um, right here sounds good.

That's funny. You
see, that's, uh...

that's where I was gonna sleep.

Well, sounds good to me.

Oh...

Hey, Ray Pruit's performing at
the showroom tonight at 7:30,

9:30 and 11:30.

Well, we still have
plenty of time to kill

before the 7:30 show starts.

You got any ideas?

As a matter of fact, I do.

You know what?

I-I gotta start
spending my money

or they're gonna kick
us out of this room.

I'm gonna go down.
Let's hit the tables.

Are you sure?

Because we could spend some
time here and gamble tonight.

I'm, I'm, I'm going down,

so, uh, you coming
or are you gonna stay?

Come, stay? Come or stay?

I'm coming.

Let's go!

Did you notice our room number?

No. Why?

3003. Does it mean
anything to you?

No, not particularly.
Why, should it?

Well, I figure gambling is
all about hunches, right?

So, if you get a good
hunch, you've got a good bet.

Sounds kind of unscientific
for someone like you, Clare.

No, your favorite
number's three.

The room number is 3003.

I tipped the
bellhop three bucks.

See? I'm serious, Steve. I
think we're onto something.

Though I hate to admit it,

I learned a long
time ago not to argue

about stuff like this with you.

Well, what're we waiting for?

Let's try our number.

Lead on, you sexy swami.

Wow, this place
is really something.

You're really lucky
to go to school here.

What year are you in?

I'm a senior.

Oh, it's your last year, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I did two years at Cuyahoga
Community College.

Got my certificate
in secretarial.

I hear that legal secretaries
do really well out here.

Do you know anything about that?

No, no, I can't say I do.

Listen, I gotta grab
a couple papers

out of the control room.
I'll be back in a second.

Sure.

Sorry.

I didn't realize there
was anybody in here.

Hi, Brandon.

Carry on.

Brandon...

Did you find what
you were looking for?

Yes, I sure did.

Yes, smell it.

Ah, there he is. Ray!

Hey!

Hey, what's going on man?

How you doing? How you doing?

All right. Val. Good to see you.

Hey, you look good.
Thanks, you, too.

What's up, Clare?
Hi, how you doing?

All right. Steve,
how're you guys doing?

Oh, we're great. It's
good to see you. You, too.

I can't wait to see
you play tonight.

Wow. I'm flattered
that you guys came

all the way out here to see us.

Hey, you guys just need
to play your butts off.

That's all that counts.

What're we doing?
Let's grab a table.

Excuse me, waiter, can,
can we get two bottles

of your finest
champagne, please?

It's on me.

Celebrating the opening of
Ray Pruit's band in Las Vegas!

Whoo! Huh?

Did you hear the
good news? Thanks.

Valerie and I are partners now.
So we want you to come back

to the Peach Pit After
Dark and headline.

Double your old guarantee.

That's a great offer. Thanks.

That is good news.

You and Valerie, huh?

Kind of scary, huh?

Hey, come on now.

That's a partnership
made in heaven.

Look, just name the date,

and we'll make sure
we have the stage

and the old crowd
all revved up for you.

Thanks, man. I'll, I'll
talk to our road manager

and see what we can work out.

Great, great, Ray, we'll be
here for your show tonight.

Uh, look, I'm, I'm gonna
go to the casino and gamble,

so you guys just enjoy
the bubbly, all right?

Thanks. Thank you.

Bye, bye.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

I don't mean to be
rude or anything,

but, uh, what's
gotten into David?

I'll tell you what's
gotten into him: money,

and a whole lot of it.

He inherited a bundle
from his grandfather.

Oh. Well, he seems to be having
a pretty good time spending it.

Yeah,

and the great thing is

it hasn't gone
to his head at all.

Cheers.

Hey, you sure I can't get
you something to drink?

Coffee, tea, water?

No, thanks. No?

Hello. Hi, yeah. Whoa!
Hang on a second.

Phil.

Thank you.

Hey, honey, where are you?

No, it-it's been terrible.

I had, I had my

purse and everything stolen.

But, um, this nice
guy came along,

and he's been helping me out.

Okay, okay.

Do you mind if he comes here?

No, not at all.
953 Hillcrest Drive.

953 Hillcrest Drive.

Okay.

I understand.

Bye.

So, he's coming over, right?

Yeah, after work.

What a relief.

See? I told you everything
was gonna work out fine.

Whoo!

Uh, can we get another round
of drinks for the table, please?

Oh, no, no, Silver, I can't
keep up with you, man.

Please do not encourage him.

Oh, yeah, right.

Come on.

Mm.

I'm still standing.

Yeah, but he won't be for long.

You know, I'm feeling lucky.

I think we should
go play some cards.

Uh...

Duh.

Huh? Duh? Duh.

Eh...

15, black 15.

Yes!

Okay, let's play our hunch.

Three.: Yes, three!

Exactly three!

Two less than five, one
more than two. Three.

Ten. Ten black and even.

Oh!

Well, you can't win 'em
all. Good try, though.

No, something's
wrong here. I'm serious.

This is a hot hunch, Steve.

You know me, I'm a math
whiz... Numbers talk to me.

Clare, it's no big deal...
It was just a hunch.

We didn't lose that much.

Yeah, I guess. Come on,

let's go back to the room...
Maybe you can get lucky there.

Place your bets,
now, place your bets.

One more.

Stay.

House stands on 17.

Ah! Once again!

I wouldn't believe
it if I didn't see it,

but the more you
drink, the more you win.

I'm not drunk... I'm having
a good time. Are you?

I'm sorry, David.

I'm having a great time.

See? That's what I like to hear.

How about this?

I'll put $500 on your next hand.

If you win you get to
take it, and if you lose,

I'll soak it up.

What do you say?

All right.

This is so frustrating.
I don't get it.

Arnold, it's no big deal...
Don't let it ruin the weekend.

No, no, no, this is, like, the
strongest hunch I have ever had.

When I get a feeling like
this, I just know... Clare!

Are you flipping out on me? No.

Am I gonna have to call the hotel
shrink to take care of you, huh?

Wait... do that thing again.

Just what you did.

One, two, three.

Three... great,
the number again.

You're obsessing. Get a grip.

Three, three, three.

There's something about three.

What's our room number?

Three-oh-oh-three.

No. Three-zero-zero-three.

So?

Come on, let's go
back to the casino.

Oh, Clare.

Hey, you must be Phil.

Yeah, that's me. I'm
Brandon. Come on in.

Hey, Melanie, your knight
in shining armor's here.

Hey, listen, thanks for
helping her out and all.

No problem.

Just the same, I know
you went to a lot of trouble.

No, it was no
trouble at all. Phil.

Hi! Mel! Hi.

Listen, why don't

you two lovebirds
nest in the living room.

I'm gonna go get the phone.

Hello?

Hey, Brandon. It's Muntz.

Hey, Muntz. What's shaking?

Hey, Steve left me a message
about stopping by your place

and picking up a term
paper or something.

Yeah, he said he was
gonna get you to turn it in

for him if he didn't get
back from Vegas in time.

I love being his
delivery boy, man.

I don't know why I
can't say no to that guy.

'Cause he's Steve
Sanders, that's why.

You got that right.

Anyway, is it okay if I stop
by tomorrow sometime?

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Cool. See you then.

Uh, Melanie?

Um... where's Phil?

He left.

He left?

Well, what happened?

It's over.

He met someone the second
day he was in Los Angeles,

and he fell in love with her.

And the rat was too much
of a coward to tell me,

so he let me come
all the way to California

thinking I was
gonna get married.

How can he do that?

Melanie, I'm-I'm really sorry.

So the engagement's off.

Now everything's off.

Too much sushi.

Mm, move over. Hey,
hey, what are you doing?

Come on. No, no, no.

There's not enough
room. You're fine.

Okay.

So, why don't you
spend the night?

I don't think that's
a very good idea.

Why not? Well, I want to,

but I don't want you to
think I'm a tease. All right.

I'll throw frustration
to the wind,

and I'll just hold you
in my arms all night.

Though I warn you, other parts of
my body have a mind of their own.

I don't want to know about that.

Come on.

Thanks for understanding.

Well, I look at it this way.

Making love with you is
probably an eventuality,

so what's there to
be frustrated about?

Oh, well, that's one
way of looking at it.

Well, am I wrong?

We'll have to wait and see,

won't we?

Ooh! I'm gonna get you!

Hello?

Donna! Hey, how you doing?

Hi. Are you having a good time?

What, are you
kidding? It's incredible.

Ray's band was great!

He's still a little upset that
you didn't come with us.

Oh, please send him my best.

You know, it's not too late.

I mean, I could call right now

and make plane
reservations for you.

I could have you
on the first flight out.

You know what, I'll even
have a car waiting for you.

I'll pay for the whole thing.

No, I... I appreciate it,

but I just... have a
lot of studying to do.

Donna, come on,
we'll have a great time.

David, you sound like you're
already having a great time.

I am. That's what
I'm trying to tell you.

Well, you just enjoy yourself.

David, please be careful, okay?

Donna, come on, stop
treating me like a baby.

What could I possibly do?

Just be careful.

So I guess that means you won't
be meeting us out here, then?

No. But why don't you call
me when you get home, okay?

All righty.

I'll miss you.

Bye, David.

Bye.

David, come on,
let's go upstairs,

order some room service
and get into that big bed.

No, I got to break even.

David...

House has 21.

Damn it!

David, come on,
let's go upstairs.

Would you stop telling
me what to do, please?

I'm sorry.

This place sucks.

This casino sucks...
I'm going to another one.

You coming with me?

Do you really think
you should do that?

See, now you're starting
to get on my nerves.

You're doing exactly
what Donna does, all right?

I already have a mother;
I don't need another one.

Now, are you gonna
come with me or not?

No, I'm tired.

I think I've had enough.

Well, I haven't.

See you later.

Green. Double zero.

Yeah!

I can't believe that.

You know, the
odds are 35 to one.

Well, believe it, baby.

When I say I've got
a hunch, I mean it.

Very good, lady.

Do you know something we don't?

Okay, what do we do now,
big shot? We do it again.

Clare, I think we should bet
a little more than three dollars.

If we put a hundred
dollars down,

we walk away from
the table with $3,600.

That's a lot of whipped
cream. No, no, no.

It's gonna stay
a three-dollar bet.

Three's the number.
Remember the hunch thing?

I'm right behind you.

Whatever you say.

Place your bets.
Place your bets, please.

Green. Double zero.

Lady,

you've got a heck
of a hunch going.

Mm-hmm.

Place your bets.

Place your bets, please.

Green! Double zero!

Yes! I can't believe it!

That's three times in a row!

Little lady, I have never
seen nothing like this,

and I wouldn't be surprised

if they don't throw
you out of here.

Well, just stick with me, Tex.

Well, that's what
I plan on doing.

You want to go
again? No, it's over.

No. Come on.

That's it.

Come on.

I've always wanted

to try a 20-year-old
Lafitte Bordeaux.

We'll drink our winnings.

Whatever you say.

Here you go.

Thank you.

If I hadn't have seen it, I
wouldn't have believed it.

Well, when you've got a
hunch, you've got a hunch.

Can you believe this?

How long have we
been waiting here now?

Can never get a cab in this
town when the shows let out.

So where you headed?

Oh, downtown to another
casino, try my luck.

You guys want to come along?

My treat.

Sure, we'd love to.

I'm Linda.

I'm Gail.

Hi.

Hi. I'm David.

And our chariot has arrived.

Excuse me.

Um...

do you mind if we
stop by our hotel first?

We could have a couple of drinks

and then head
down to the Nugget.

No, no, that'd be great.

You're really cool,
you know that?

And so are you two.

I think the three of us

are gonna have
an incredible time.

Thanks for this, Brandon.

Who would have
thought I'd be spending

the worst day of my
life with a total stranger.

It's better than
spending it alone, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

God has an interesting way
of taking care of us, you know?

I guess I grew up today.

The little girl in me got
pretty trampled over.

Every time I close my eyes,

I think of that rat

in the arms of this
other woman, and...

I don't believe in
dreams anymore.

That's pretty sad, huh?

You don't have to give up
your dreams just because of this.

Well, yeah, you do,
if all you ever wanted

was to get married
and to have kids

and to have a husband to love.

Someone who would love
you back for the rest of your life.

Those are pretty good dreams.

Yeah.

So what about you?

What about me?

Tell me your dreams.

My dreams.

I guess lately I've been, uh,

been thinking about
going to law school,

maybe applying for a
Rhodes Scholarship.

Really? You want to be a lawyer?

No, no.

I don't think I want
to be a lawyer,

but, um... I have been thinking
about a career in politics.

How high do you want to go?

Well, as high as I can get.

Without inhaling of course.

Oh.

President.

If that's all they got.

So who's the girl?

What girl?

What girl.

The girl, the girl today.

Uh, what's her name, Kelly.

The one who made you
look like you saw a ghost.

Oh, that girl.

She's, um...

she's actually someone
who I asked to marry me once.

Oh.

Still in love with her?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess in-in
some way, I still am.

Yeah.

Well, I couldn't have gotten
through today without you.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You seem like a survivor to me.

Well, thanks, Brandon.

But, uh, I don't know.

You have this, uh, special way

of making everything
seem like it's gonna be okay.

Anyone ever told
you that before?

Oh, yeah, people tell
me that all the time.

Perfect strangers at the
supermarket come up to me.

Well, I think that Kelly
girl must be crazy.

Oh, she's crazy all right.

About another guy.

Sorry.

Night.

Good night.

You know, just once,
I'd like to be around

when one of these
suckers wakes up.

Must be a riot, huh?

You're really sick,
you know that?

Takes one to know one.

Hey, what'd you
slip this guy anyway?

He went out faster
than any of the others.

He had a head start.

He's gonna have a
hell of a headache.

He's got some cash.

Yeah, whoa.

There's a couple grand in here.

Check it out.

Driver's license says
he's from Beverly Hills.

Oh.

Aw, look.

This must be his honey.

Cute.

Take his credit cards, too.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, should we take his clothes?

Yeah.

I love thinking about these
fools trying to figure out

how to get home
in their underwear.

Hi.

Hi. You were out of
here early this morning.

I didn't even hear you get up.

Mm, I just had to go out and
pick something up for you.

Open it.

Coffee on?

Yeah, help yourself.

What's this for?

You'll see.

Sheets and pillowcases?

You don't like my sheets?

I'm humiliated.

Don't be humiliated.

Men just know
nothing about sheets.

See, these have
310 thread count.

Much more comfortable.

So does this mean

you're gonna be
sleeping over more often?

I don't know.

But at least you'll
be prepared if I do.

Cool.

So when was the last
time you saw him again?

Steve, I told you.

He was drunk, and I was
trying to get him to call it a night.

He said he was going
to another casino.

That's probably what he did.

Probably took a room
and crashed... no big deal.

Steve, you saw him.

He was completely
out of control.

Then why'd you let him go?

You guys are his friends.

Somebody should've
been looking out for him.

Well, that's easy to say.

Val's right.

I mean, we couldn't
have stopped him.

He's only been gone eight hours.

Well, maybe somebody
should call Donna

and see if she's heard from him.

That's the last thing
he's gonna want.

Why?

Because Donna's
been hovering over him

like a nursery school teacher.

He's sick of it.

Well, maybe that's what
David needs right now.

Look, I'm gonna call her.

Tell her to get her
buns on a plane.

Oh, God.

Damn it!

Donna, what did I do?

All right, you ready to go?

Yeah.

Brandon, about the ticket...

Don't worry about the ticket.

The ticket's a loan.

You'll pay me back.

Yo.

Yeah, hang on.

It's the rat.

It's Phil the rat.

What's going on?

Hey, Muntz.

How you doing, buddy? Good.

Well, it looks like
Steve's finally taking

some responsibility
in his old age, huh?

That'll be the day.

Yeah, no kidding.

No tip.

You okay?

No.

What'd he say?

Well, he apologized
for everything

and said he made a big mistake
and that he wants me back.

Is that a good thing?

Well, I told him never to try to
call me or see me ever again.

I think you did the right thing.

Yeah.

Why do I feel so weird?

It'll just take a
little time, that's all.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

You know what, Brandon?

I'm gonna go back
to Chagrin Falls

and save up enough money
to get an apartment here in L.A.

Why should Phil have our
California dream and not me?

I think that's a very good idea.

Besides, you already have
your first friend in Los Angeles.

Thanks for everything.

Ah.

You're welcome.

All right, we got to get going.

Don't want to miss that plane.

Donna, Donna.

Thanks for calling me.

Hey, don't mention it.

Has anyone heard from him?

Yeah, we found him.

Pretty rough night though.

Spent it in a cheap motel room

with everything gone but
his socks and underwear.

Yeah, it's been

a pretty embarrassing
situation for David.

He doesn't want
to talk to any of us.

Just you.

What's wrong with you guys?

How could you let
this happen to him?

What?

Donna, what, do you expect us

to put a leash on the guy?

No, how about
acting like his friends?

Donna, that's not really fair.

Well, I don't really care
about being fair right now.

I care about David.
Now, where is he?

He's up in our room.

Our room?

And what room would our room be?

5120.

Thanks.

David?

Oh, God.

I'm so glad you're here.

I don't know what's
happening to me.

I'm losing it.

Donna, I need you to help me.

I will.

I'm so embarrassed.

I made such a
fool out of myself.

I don't know what's
wrong with me.

I'm here for you, David.

And I am never gonna let

anything like this
happen to you again.

Okay?
