Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 7, Episode 21 - Straight Shooter - full transcript

Brandon, Steve and Dick are partnered for a three-man basketball team of CU. But that night, Steve and Dick's marijuana habit takes a turn for the worse when Dick suggests heroin and eventually dies from an OD at the After Dark. Meanwhile, Donna wavers between David and Cliff who tries to get on the good side of her parents. Gigi Crane, a magazine writer, starts hanging out with Valerie to get a story about L.A's cool people. Also, Kelly and Clare pose as Russians to do some flirting with two other guys during a weekend trip to Palm Springs.

Go.

Here.

Nice. Good shot. Dude.

Oh, we got this thing
so wrapped up. Oh, yeah.

You guys want to
keep working or what?

No, no, let's save
it for tomorrow.

All right. Good
practice, gentlemen.

Yeah.

Hey, you guys were great.

How would you know?

You had your face buried in
your homework the whole time.



Well, you sounded great.

Thanks. You know, Steve
and I have wanted to enter

this Three Man
Tournament for a long time,

but we could never
find a good third man.

Looks like Dick's our guy.

Well, you're my guy.

Oh, really?

What should we do about that?

Do you smell something burning?

Yes, I do.

I do believe that is

what is commonly
referred to as marijuana.

Give me a break,
Sanders. Half-court shot?

Oh, you don't believe
me, huh? Yeah.



Brandon, tell him I
made a half-court shot

at the Laker game.

Yeah, yeah, he did.

See?

You all right, Dick?

I'm excellent. Feed me.

Five, four, three, two, one.

I'll, uh, meet you
in the car, huh?

This, uh... This isn't
how you guys prepare

for a game, is it,
by getting stoned?

What?

What are you talking about?

Maybe this isn't important

to you, but I want to
win this tournament.

Bran. BRANDON: Steve.

Come on. You guys reek of it.

Relax, okay? I went up... I went
back there and had a little hit.

Steve just kept me company.

I don't see what the problem is.

Look, Dick,

whatever you want to do

on your own time is
your own business.

I just don't want to play
with you guys if you're high.

All right, it's not gonna
happen again, right?

Yeah. No, and the
most important thing is

that we stick together
so we can win this thing.

Right. That's what I think.

All right. Thanks,
Walsh. All right.

Knew you were cool. Later, bro.

See you guys tomorrow.

See you, Dick.

What are you thinking?

Over here. Come on.

Here we go.

I got it!

Hey, I just wanted
to say good-bye.

Oh, thanks.

Hmm. To be honest with you,

I don't even know why I'm going.

What?

Remind me, why am I going to
Palm Desert for the weekend?

Okay. Because Clare got a suite
at the Royal Renaissance Hotel,

you live for
deep-tissue massages,

hot pools, oh, and the
famous tofu tostada.

Hmm. Okay. Now I remember.

Besides, I think it'll be good
for you to get out of town.

Give you a whole new
perspective on things.

Yeah, my old perspective
has been kind of dreary.

February hasn't
always been a good

month for me.

Let's see.

This time last
year, I was in rehab.

The year before that,
a cult. What's next?

Well, February's almost done.

Clare says

the best part about traveling
is you get to reinvent yourself.

Do you believe that?

Sure. A new town,
no one knows you.

You can be whoever
you want to be.

Mm.

Yeah, this trip is
sounding better and better.

Good.

You gonna be okay without us?

Oh. Yeah, as long
as Cliff's still in town,

I have enough
chaos to occupy me.

Well, I'm glad you told
David you'd meet him.

He has been pretty
persistent ever since Chloe left.

Uh, he swears nothing happened.

Well, then, believe him.

Yeah, I want to.

You have fun. Mmm.

Thanks. Bye. Bye. Bye, C.

Yeah, no.

I totally want you to
win your games today.

You're gonna miss it. I'm great.

If I was there, I'd
probably just jinx you.

Honey, you're not gonna jinx me.

Okay, I got to go, all
right? No, I'm serious.

Yeah, I totally love you.

How much?

Mm... gobs.

And how much is gobs and gobs?

It's a lot, okay, Steve?

A lot? A little lot?
A lot...? I got to go.

Honey, honey.

Be good.

I'll try.

I love you. Bye, bye.

Oh, what a cozy couple.

Ah, yes. Who'd have thought...

Who'd have thought that
Steve Sanders would have

the longest relationship
out of any of us? Not me.

Not me.

I've matured.

Oh.

Hello, my little goblet.

Ah, gosh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, Valerie,

uh, Malone is here.

Who may I say is calling?

Just a second.

Uh, GiGi Krane, LaLa Magazine?

Uh, yeah, this is Valerie.

You ever hear of this
magazine? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's one of those periodicals
for the tragically hip.

And they're talking to Valerie?

No, I was just heading out.

Um, do you know the Peach Pit?

Great. I'll see you there.

LaLa Magazine is interested

in including me

in an article on the 50
coolest people in L.A.

you've never heard of. Me.

Hmm. I've heard of you.

Guess Val's not
afraid to be cool, huh?

You know what would
be cool, Steve, would be

for us to win some of our games,

so hurry up and eat,
'cause we gots to go.

David.

Donna. Hey.

Uh, have a seat.

I'll grab you some coffee.

Look, I'm sorry we couldn't
meet in a more neutral place.

Just, with Tom gone and all,
I'm a little behind for tonight.

Oh, no, that's fine.

I haven't seen
you work this hard

since you bought this place.

Yeah. I've actually, uh, kept
up with my schoolwork, too.

I guess

the only thing not-not
working here is you.

What happened to us?

I don't know.

It's, uh...

it's been a confusing few weeks.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Well, that didn't seem
to be the problem

when you were
involved with Chloe.

Donna, nothing happened
between me and Chloe, all right?

No matter what

you think you may have seen

or may have heard,
it was just business.

Come on, David.

Most people don't conduct
business in their bra.

All right.

Fine.

Fine. She came onto me.

But I turned her
down, all right?

I wanted to get back
together with you.

It's not that easy.

Why not?

You-You don't

care about me anymore?

Of course, I do. But what?

You-You care more about Cliff?

No.

I just...

I feel really safe with him.

I-I can't explain it.

All right, I admit it.

I-I wasn't there when the
whole hostage thing went down.

But I've been there for
you so many other times.

I-I can't believe you
have such a short memory.

I don't.

Then why did you come here,
to rub Cliff in my face again?

No. I came here because I feel
bad about what's happened, too.

Well, if you feel that way,
why don't you do something

about it instead of
leaving me hanging?

Just let me straighten
things out with Cliff first.

When you say,
"straighten things out,"

I-I hope you mean
tell him it's over.

I hope you don't plan
on juggling the two of us.

I'll talk to him today.

Uh, uh, hey, I'll...

I'll be right with you guys, if
you could just put that stuff up

on the stage. You got it.

Thanks.

We have a new,
uh, deejay for tonight.

I hope you're still coming.

Yeah, of course I am.

Good.

Um, enjoy your coffee.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Nat, listen, I want
you to meet somebody.

This is GiGi Krane.

Oh, hi. Ooh.

Continental handshake.
It's very retro, very smart.

Uh, GiGi's

the contributing editor
to LaLa Magazine.

LaLa?

We're the absolute authority

on what is fabulous
and what is unfabulous.

Your basic

fabulosity-dense mag.

You understand?

No, but it may be a
generational thing.

But nice to meet you anyway.

I recommend the pie.

Nat's great.

He's a co-owner with
David Silver and myself

of After Dark.

Amazing. You're a senior
at California University,

and you have been
running a nightclub

for nearly three years.

You are one hell of
a hyphenate, Malone.

Well, I have a lot of energy.

Excellent.

I want to hang with you tonight.

What are you doing?

Well, the club's open.
Should be a good crowd.

Great. Well, we'll
start at The Nemo Bar.

I'll introduce you around.

You know, this, uh,

is our third year
doing this feature.

It's considered a
real career booster.

So, you think I'm cool
enough to be included?

Careful.

Being cool means
never having to ask.

Right. I'll remember that.

Correct.

Smooth Moves,
Marauders. Take the court.

Okay, gentlemen,

you know the rules.

First team to score
seven baskets wins.

Call it in the air, Marauders.

Heads.

Heads it is.

Way to go. Let's go.

All right. Let's go, guys.

Have a good game. Let's go!

All right!

What, are you stoned, Walsh?

Come on.

Okay, how about them?

Don't look now,

but I think those two guys
over there are staring at us.

Really? Mm-hmm.

Right over there.

No, Roger, it's going
to be too awkward

trying to meet 'em.

What are you going to say?

"Hi, you're both gorgeous.

You want to take a
mud bath together?"

Come on.

I've got

a better idea.

Stay with me.

Come on.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, would you settle a bet?

By any chance are you both

with the Ukrainian
folk dance troupe?

Da, but of course.

You are?

Wow, and I thought
that was just a good line.

Um, that's great.

Um, welcome to America.

Uh, I'm Roger Burnett.

Dean.

I'm Irina and this is
my friend Katarina.

We must go now.

Dosvydania.

I can't believe
you just did that.

Well, you told Donna you
wanted to reinvent yourself,

so now you're Madame Katarina.

They're incredible.

Follow their luggage.

Donna.

Terrific.

I was afraid you
couldn't find it.

Oh, no,

I know the marina.

Whose boat is this?

It's an old high
school buddy of mine.

He lets me bunk aboard
when he goes off skiing.

Oh, that's great.

My parents have their
boat a few docks down.

Yeah, I, um, I ran into
your mother and father

this morning at the ice machine.

Small world.

Yeah.

So how come you haven't
come to see me this week?

Um, I guess I've just been
trying to catch my breath,

getting a grip on reality.

Well, before you
do, come sailing.

I promised my friend I'd
get this baby in the wind.

Cliff, I got to tell
you something.

I'm not sure I like
the sound of this.

You're going back to David.

I have to.

Sounds like something
you don't want to do.

I do. Okay.

Well, I can't tell
you what to do,

but I'm not giving
up without a fight.

Cliff... Donna,
are you telling me

there wasn't something
special in the way we met

and that there's no
sparks between us now?

Please don't make
this any harder.

I'm sorry.

That's one promise I can't make.

Donna.

Hi.

Dad, hey.

Hi.

You working on the boat?

Oh, yeah, getting it shipshape.

Did Cliff tell you about
brunch tomorrow?

Brunch? No.

Dockside.

Your mother was kind
enough to invite me.

I said I'd go as long
as you'd be there.

Well, of course she'll be there.

Sunday has always been

family day.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm off to the
marine supply store.

Have fun, see you later.

Bye, Dr. Martin.

Like I said, some forces

can't be denied.

Oh, boy, I'm in trouble.

Oh.

That shiatsu was amazing.

What's this?

Oh, a little letter for
Irina and Katarina.

Oh, God.

Hmm... What's it say?

Roger and Dean would like

their two favorite folk dancers

to be their guests
for the evening.

There's a room number to call.

I don't think so. No, no, no.

What? I thought you
thought Roger was cute.

No, I do... he is cute...
but I don't want to do this.

Come on, you're no fun.

Haven't you ever
read romance novels?

Yes, I have, but
what about Steve?

Do you think he'd want
you flirting like this?

I'm not the one
doing the flirting.

It's Irina.

Besides, I'm doing it for you.

Oh... okay.

Okay, we have to just be polite.

4077.

U-Uh, hello, is this Roger

and Dean's room?

Good. Uh, thank
you for the invitation.

Uh, no, I don't, I
don't think we can.

No,

I don't think so.

Da.

Dosvydania.

Hopefully

they got the hint.

I don't think so.

I think you might have to
brush up on your Russian accent.

I don't do a Russian accent.

Well, I'll teach you.

It's easy. Just repeat after me.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Zhivago.

Zhivago.

Good.

Were we great or
what? Marauders rule.

You guys were awesome.

Or everyone else
just really stunk.

It's going to be a lot
harder tomorrow, boys.

Why do you got to
be such a buzz kill?

We made it to the semifinals.

No, he's right, it's gonna
be a lot tougher tomorrow.

That was a great meal, Tracy.

Thanks. Thanks, man.

So, you guys got a dishwasher?

Yeah, just leave 'em in
the sink, we'll get 'em later.

No way, I'm a team player.

Well, I'm not going
to argue with that.

If anybody wants me,
I'll be watching the tube,

making fun of the
other anchorwomen.

All right, man,
I'll rinse, you load.

All right, I'll make the coffee.

Listen, I'm sorry about
toking up the other night.

I didn't mean to put
you in a bad position.

You didn't put me in
a bad position, man.

It's just that stuff
makes me nervous.

Don't worry about me.

I'm going to grad school
at Stanford in the fall.

I'm not going to screw that up.

Besides, I'm strictly
a weekend warrior.

Herb only.

And caffeine... Get
it going, Sanders.

Yes!

Two points,

from the coffeemaker!

I'm hot!

What do you say? Are
you guys bonding or what?

Steve, we were just
having a beautiful moment

and now you've ruined it.

Ooh...

Oh, aren't you glad we came?

L.A. feels a million miles away.

Oh, I know.

But, uh, the Ukraine's
getting closer.

What are you talking about?

Here come Roger and Dean.

Hi.

So this is how you
spend your evenings.

Da, we must take
care of our bodies.

I respect that.

Do you mind if we sit down?

No, sit.

So, do you speak
any English, Katarina?

Da.

A little.

Well, sometimes
that's all you need.

So, we know

that you ladies are dancers,
but we've neglected to tell you

anything about ourselves.

Ah, yes, what do you do?

Let me guess.

Cosmonauts?

No.

No, we're into
computer software.

We're a design team.

Maybe you've seen our
astrology screen savers?

They're a hot item.

No, no, I don't believe so.

Well, you had to have heard

of the film Mission: Impossible.

Da.

Da. Well, we developed

the Web site for it.

It holds the record for most
visitors of any Web site ever.

Oh.

Uh, that is truly amazing.

Irina,

I think we must go.

So soon? Uh...

yes, suddenly I feel

red as borscht.

Well, you look great to me.

Oh, hey, there's
some of your troupe.

Uh...

Yes,

that is the chorus.

Uh, we must go to our rooms.

We need our sleep.

Of course, but we would love

to show you around
the desert tomorrow.

We know some
beautiful nature trails.

What do you say?

Da?

Da.

We'll be by around
10:00? Good night.

Da.

have to be honest with you.

I didn't end things
with Cliff yet.

What, you didn't see him? I did,

but I'm seeing him
again tomorrow.

My parents...

They invited him to
brunch at the marina

without me even knowing it.

Wait a second, your mom met him?

Yeah, but it was
totally by accident.

Look, don't be mad.

Mad? If your mom

Mr. Sanders here claims
that the victim told him

he got the heroin from
a dealer here at the club.

Do you know anything about that?

Sorry, Val. That's

No, absolutely not.

didn't know there was drug dealing

going on? Look, there was
never any problem before.

And I don't want to
answer any more questions

until I talk to my lawyer.

But someone dying so
young isn't fair, either.

Dick Harrison OD'd

at the After Dark last night.

He OD'd?

On what?

Heroin.

Here, talk to Donna.

Donna, what happened?

Steve found him in the bathroom.

His heart had stopped.

I thought for sure you
guys already knew.

I mean, I thought Steve
would've called Clare already.

No.

No, um, he's dead?

This doesn't make any
sense. That's for sure.

What's going on?

I think the joke's on us, Dean.

They've been putting us on.

Don, hang on.

Um, guys...

died last night. Right.

you phonies would have to say.

No.

We're coming right home.

How's Steve taking it?

Bad.

What?

Why don't you answer the phone?

and I don't want to talk to her.

Can I get you anything?

No.

No, man, just leave

What, you got something better?

Then, I stopped at
Alpha to see Ellen.

We heard about the
accident at the club.

Yeah, it was a real tragedy.

I understand they took David
and Valerie in for questioning.

Yes.

I certainly hope they didn't
have anything to do with it.

With what?

Dealing drugs?

Right... what about Nat?

You think he was
in on that, too?

I'm sorry.

It's a shock to have
something like this

happen so close to home.

Felice,

why don't you go downstairs

and help me with the drinks.

All right.

Excuse us.

I wasn't telling tales

out of school.

They heard about
it before I got here.

Everybody already knows.

So, how are you?

Were you able to sleep?

No.

Because, when I got
in, uh... I had a message.

See, I applied for this
job a few months ago,

and...

well, now they really want me.

That's great.

What kind of job?

Head of safety at a
very famous theme park.

Wow.

Well, you deserve it.

Where is it?

Is it in Anaheim?

No.

In Orlando.

Florida.

So, when do you go?

I told them that I needed
a week to think about it.

Because, if I knew
I had a chance

with you, I'd turn it down.

Cliff.

That's how much you mean to me.

Ooh... here you go, sweetie.

He is so handsome.

Mom. Well, I can't help it.

He is.

So mature.

You do like him, don't you?

Of course, I like him.

Then, do not let him get away.

I thought they'd
never let us go.

Well, they're just
doing their job,

but I don't think there's

anything further to worry about.

So, they won't
press any charges?

You answered
all their questions,

and there's no evidence that
you're in any way negligent.

But what I do recommend

is that you tighten up
security down at the club.

More searches,
more security cameras

and a zero-tolerance policy.

My pleasure. Good.

Well, I have some more business

with the clerk.

Let's keep in
touch. Yeah, we will.

Thanks. Thank you.

You're welcome.

What a night.

Yeah, well, let's
go catch a cab.

You know, would you mind, uh,

catching one yourself?

I really need to find Donna.

Yeah.

Good luck. Thanks.

So, needless to say,
we only have two players.

With only two players,
the Marauders forfeit,

so that means the Colts
advance to the final round.

Sorry.

We were looking forward
to playing you guys.

We heard you were
good. Yeah, we were good.

We got class to show up. Thanks.

Hey, good luck, guys.
Good luck. Yeah, you, too.

I'm really glad you
made me come, Brandon.

To tell you the truth,

I didn't want to
do this by myself.

Think we could have taken them?

Ah, who knows?

Who cares?

We could have taken them.

Yeah.

No, now, I never
would have pegged you

for a New Yorker, Cliff.

Translation...

Felice finds New Yorkers
to be less polite than you.

Well, to be a public
servant, politeness isn't

about manners;
it's about survival.

I like that.

Is there a Donna here?

Yes, I'm Donna.

I have a message for you.

Thanks.

What is it?

Where is he?

What does he want?

Me.

I have to go.

Donna.

I need to be with David.

Well, invite him here.

He can join us for coffee.

Dad, I'm sorry, I can't
put him through this.

Well, you can't just leave us,

so sit down.

Let her be.

This is Donna's decision.

Cliff,

if I were you, I would
do something about this.

Felice,

let's take a walk.

Donna... Cliff...

I can't go on like this.

It's just not fair
to either of you.

You asked me to make a choice.

And I am.

Please.

I want you to take that job...

because I love David.

I'm sorry.

I hope you understand.

I do.

You know, sometimes
the only way to stop a fire

is to let it burn out.

So, if it does between
the two of you,

don't be surprised if
I come around again.

Good-bye, Donna.

Bye, Cliff.

Good luck to you in Florida.

Thanks.

♪ ♪

What is going on?

They must all be here for Dick.

Look at it.

It's like a vigil.

Glad they remember him, man.

Who left this here?

Who left a pot pipe here?

Whose bong is this?

No one's, huh?

Fine.

Listen up.

Don't leave any drug
paraphernalia here.

Let's not make this cool.

This is not cool.

This is stupid.

I know what I'm talking about.

I'm alive today
because Dick died first.

I was next in line to
catch that same buzz.

I told him to save me some.

And then, I found
him in the bathroom.

You want to know what
his last words were?

"I don't want to die."

That's what he said.

He knew he blew it.

He knew it.

So, if you want to
come here, hang out

and memorialize
Richard Harrison,

then you remember
he was a scholar,

that he was a leader,
he was an athlete...

that he was a 22-year-old

who had a brilliant
future in front of him

that got wiped away
because he was doing drugs!

You remember that.

And remember his last words.

"I don't want to die."

I don't know what else to say.

You don't have to say anything.

That was good, man.

Yeah.

Here's your jersey, buddy.
