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

Steve declares war by trying to find a date for himself just to make Clare jealous when she starts dating another guy, named Dick Harris, whom he can't stand. Meanwhile, Donna's new fireman boyfriend, Cliff Yeager, who saved her life during the brushfire, assists her at her sorority's Halloween Haunted House bash. At the reopening of the Peach Pit After Dark, Kenny does not attend, prompting Valerie to resort to her devious tricks again by asking for $100,000 so she can keep away from him. Also, Brandon tries to get closer to Tracy while Kelly hits on Mark.

Thank you.

Thank you.

l give you the citizen heroes

of the Hollywood Hills Fire.

Wow!

We're so proud
of you.

congratulations.
l can't believe that

your mother's in Houston
missing all of this.

l know.

But l'm glad
l've got you to myself.

Donna.



Hi.

Um, Kelly, Dad,
this is cliff Yeager,

the fireman
who rescued me.

Thank you, thank you
very, very much.

You're welcome, sir.

-Nice to meet you.
-You, too.

lt's not every day
l get to rescue somebody

that's protecting
a baby deer.

Yeah. Now that l think
about that,

it probably wasn't the
smartest thing l've ever done.

And l'll second that.

But l must say that you have

a very brave daughter here.

Thank you.



But she's been like that

ever since she was little.

l mean, the girl
knows no fear.

ls there a gag
around here? Please!

l happen to be a father

who's very, very proud,
that's all, please.

l hate to rush this,

but we are due
at the Alpha House.

Yes, we have busloads of kids
coming in tomorrow

to see our Haunted House,

um, which doesn't exist
at the moment, so...

Sounds like fun. Go.

You know, if you
need any help,

l'm pretty handy.

Really?

Are, are you serious?

lf there's anything
l can do, l'd love to.

Great. okay.

lt's Valerie Malone again.

Hi.

Hi.

l, uh, have a gynecologist
appointment at 4:30.

l thought you might want
to meet me there.

Yeah, um, thanks for telling me.

That's it?

Um... l'm sorry.

l-l just, l just can't believe
this is happening.

l thought we were
always so careful.

Well, after two bottles
of champagne,

no one's that careful.

You know, you'd better start
dealing with this.

l-l'm looking out for you,
believe me.

You think your club would be
reopening tomorrow night

if it weren't for me?

Do you know who l'm bringing
to the show?

Do you have any idea what
brokerage house he represents?

Look, l'm talking about my life,
Kenny.

l'm pregnant,
probably five weeks,

and it's no fun going through
this alone.

So, will you meet me there?

of course l will.

Good.

That's all l wanted to hear.
Bye.

Bye.

Donna, Donna.

Sorry.

l thought
you finished hanging it.

l did, but l thought l'd put it
a little higher.

You know, you don't want
the sound to be so close.

oh, right. Yeah, go ahead.

Just, the higher you put it,
the louder l can make it.

You don't want it
to be too scary.

oh, the scarier the better.

Don't mind her.
Last year the kids told her

-it wasn't scary enough.
-Ha-ha!

Gotcha.

You know, you've been
a terrific help, cliff.

Thanks. l didn't know
l'd have so much fun.

Well, any time you have
to leave, l understand.

You're not gonna get rid of me
that easy.

l plan on being here tomorrow
and see it in action.

You do?

Yeah. l mean, l love
being around kids.

l mean, that is, if it's all
right with you if l come by.

Yeah, of course it's all right.

Actually, it's perfect.

lf you're already here,
then l don't have to invite you.

okay.

Hello.

Hey.

Great work,
if you can get it.

Does this mean
you're here to help?

Use me.

oh, l like that.
A good unselfish attitude.

l brought these
for you. Two books.

You did?

Well, you said you wanted
to know me better.

Read them. l think

they represent
my two different sides.

All right.

Spoon Rjver Anthology
by Edgar Lee Masters.

That's the straight
shooter in me.

Hmm. And Bettjng on the Muse
by charles Bukowski.

And that's the madman.

This is amazing.

l used to go out with a guy
who loved Bukowski.

Brandon's a Bukowski man?

No. No, someone else.

oh. Well...

But Brandon is
a Masters fan.

Whoops, sorry.

lf that was out
of bounds,

may l swallow a rubber spider
or something?

You have a lot more guts
than l thought you did.

lt's that Bukowski thing.

Well, get to work, Spider-Man.

okay.

clare, l can't believe

you're gonna
break up with me

because l was kissing
some other girl.

Watch me.
You started it.

Honey, she was
kissing me.

You're the one
with the wandering eyes.

l mean, l thought
you'd welcome the freedom.

come on, clare.

Baby, l want to take you
to the After Dark party.

l can't believe
you won't go with me.

l'll go out with you
another time, okay?

l have a date for Halloween.

With who?

Richard Harrison?!
l hate that guy!

The guy's a dork!

Well, l guess l must be going
through a dork phase, then,

because l think Dick's cool.

clare...

Relax, okay?

l'm not gonna rub
your face in it.

oh, is that supposed
to make me feel better?

Baby, l know you want
to go to the After Dark.

Why are you gonna deny
yourself this?

Honey, come to
the After Dark.

Fine, l'll go... with Dick.

Great, then l'll get a date.

What, is this a contest now?

No, war.

Rave, slam, rave, slam,
likes Tracy, loves Tracy,

wants to see more
of Tracy's legs,

wants to see more
of Tracy's feet,

wants to lick
Tracy's feet...

wants to clip
her toenails.

This is a good one.

Well, after one month,
l'd say our newscast has

a favorability rating
of about plus-15.

Very scientific
my man.

Hey, your job is to keep
producing a good show.

My job is to keep
a positive spin.

Well, one thing's
for sure,

even people who slam
our newscast love Tracy.

Well, you see, that's why
it's such a shame.

l mean, with all
her popularity,

she still doesn't have
a date to the After Dark.

l'm sorry, chuck Woolery,

l didn't realize we were
on Love ConneCtjon,

Why exactly is that our problem?

Well, l just happen to know

that she's hoping
that you'll ask her.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

And why are you so concerned?

could it be that you're
feeling guilty already

because you invited
a certain Miss Kelly Taylor?

Does it bother you that l'm
going with your old girlfriend?

None of my business.
lf she's happy, l'm happy.

cool.
But you do like Tracy, right?

of course, l like Tracy.

Everyone likes Tracy.
Tracy's great.

l just don't want to make the
same mistake l made last year

and get involved with someone
l'm working with.

okay, okay.

l just know that she wants

to go with you, that's all.

Why are you so interested
in this?

l just want to keep
my anchor smiling, that's all.

Well, thanks, David.

-Ah, no problem.
-Hey.

-Hey, Dave,
-Huh?

do you have your
neighbor's phone number?

l need it
for an emergency.

Why?

l need a date
for Halloween.

You know what?

l think they just went
to chicago for a trade show.

What happened
with clare?

She's going
with someone else.

By the way
things are going here,

l'll be there by myself.
l need help.

Well, maybe l can call

some of my cocktail
waitresses.

Maybe they got
a friend.

Mm... l need
a substantial woman,

a real...
crazy female.

Think! Think!

okay, okay, uh...

l told him to try
the Elite Escort Service.

l'm not looking
for a hooker.

This service is
on the level.

There's no sex involved.

The owner's a
regular here.

They cater to
corporate execs

and diplomats, you know,
for people that need company

for special events.

And the women that work for them
are bright and beautiful.

lf l mention your name,
will l get a discount?

No.

Hey, Dad.

l thought you were supposed
to be in Palm Springs.

Hey. We're just
heading out.

Your little sister wanted
a piece of pie for the road.

Uh, tell Grandma and Grandpa
l said hello.

lt's not too late to come.

l can't. l just promised Valerie

l'd emcee this little show
she's doing tomorrow.

So fly back.

There's plenty of time.
lt's his birthday.

His birthday isn't
until next month.

David, l told you
he's gonna be on a cruise.

So we're having a little party
tonight to celebrate early.

lt's his 7 1st birthday. come.

l said l can't.
l have other plans.

You know, l didn't want
to make a big deal out of this,

but you do have
family responsibilities.

come on, Dad, l see Grandpa
all the time.

Don't give me that.

Why are you getting so angry?

l'm not angry.

Look, you pay my rent,

and l promised to stay
in school, all right?

But you can't keep making me
do things l don't want to do.

l'm sorry.

Knowing how much you love
your grandfather,

l just thought it might be
something you wanted to do.

Well, l'm sorry.

Tell Grandpa
l said Happy Birthday.

Sure.

See ya.

l tell you,
l couldn't be happier.

Frank and l have
been trying so hard.

lf my home pregnancy test hadn't
had turned blue this time,

l was gonna dye it blue.

l don't think that works.

l've heard that it does.

Well, good luck.

Thank you.

lf you're in a hurry
to see the doctor,

you can go ahead of me.

l'm in no rush to get home.

No, that's okay.

l didn't have an appointment
anyway.

So l'll come back. Thanks.

How'd it go?

How did you think
it was gonna go?

l'm still pregnant...

nearly five weeks.

Damn it.

Damn it?

Wait, l'm the one who's
unmarried and having your baby,

and all you can say
is ''damn it?''

l'm sorry, Val.
l-l just don't know what to say.

l mean, l feel so bad for you.

You know what?

l... l thought
l was gonna feel bad, too,

but... but l actually don't.

-You don't?
-No.

l mean, l've thought about it
and... and l love you

and l want to have your baby.

Valerie, you can't have
this baby.

Well, why?

Because, honey,
it would ruin everything.

lt would ruin everything.

You gotta know that.

l know you do.

l do.

But don't make me lose
you, too. lt's not fair.

l mean, honey,
we belong together.

l mean, don't you feel it?

l mean, maybe this accident
was a blessing.

l mean, maybe it was a sign
telling you

that you need
to change your life.

-Val...
-People get divorced,

and children deal with it,
life goes on,

but it all comes down to love.

And you told me
that you loved me.

Was that a lie?

l love you so much.

Then you need
to listen to your heart.

l know.

And you need to tell
your wife about me.

l know.

l love you.

You'd better go.

l'm Tracy Gaylian,
and that's cUTV news.

That's a wrap.
Thank you, Tracy.

We're clear.

That was good.

l bet you didn't like
that editorial l worked in

about more trash pickups
in the dorms.

l took it for what it was.

Which was?

A very petty gripe.

You obviously don't
live in the dorms.

No, no, l don't,

but you know, it had...

it had spontaneity,
it had feeling,

it had, it had heart,

it had a certain
je ne sajs quoj, if you will.

l don't know.
lt got me thinking,

maybe we should have
a ''Petty Gripe

-of The Week'' segment.
-l knew you didn't like it.

No, you're right, l didn't.

Next time just stick
to the rundown, will you?

Yes, okay.

okay.

Hey, Trace, um...

look, l know it's
kind of last minute

and everything,
but, uh, would you like

to go to the Halloween party
at the After Dark with me?

Um...

l can't. l'm sorry.

You can't?

You got a date?

No. l've actually been looking
forward to going by myself.

But thanks for asking.

l don't know about you, Mabel,

but l want the little boy
in the red sneakers for dinner!

oh, Eunice, he's no good.

Even if you've
got a good meal

out of him, he'd be sour.

Just take them
to the kitchen now!

oh... so, what do you
think about cliff?

Well, l think he's got a good
body for the headless horseman.

He told me he was in the navy.

Well, is that good or bad?

l don't know.

Actually, l don't know
that much about him.

Well, why don't you ask him
which book best describes him?

lt can be very revealing.

Hmm.

ooh, here they come.

oh.

Welcome to your nightmare!
Ha, ha!

Welcome to your nightmare!
Ha, ha, ha!

oh, l think he scared
that little boy.

Here.

-Ah!
-cover for me.

okay. Um...

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, l'm afraid

l freaked him a bit.

oh, sweetie, what's your name?

Alex. l want to go home.

You sure about that?

Everyone else is having fun
in there.

lf l stay, everybody's
gonna make fun of me.

l'm the only one afraid
to go in the haunted house.

Well, l think
l can take care of that.

Donna, can you use some help
in the control room?

Absolutely.

Uh-uh, l'm not going back
in there.

lt's too scary.

Not if you're doing the scaring.

We have a large database
of incredible women.

We have ladies
who can tell you

the dollar conversion
of the yen

and others who can sink
a 40-foot putt.

Hey, that's great.
Nat said you were the best.

Well, Nat's not so bad himself.

l've been eating megaburgers

since before you were born,
doll.

But if you say it shows,
you don't get the discount.

okay, my lips are sealed.

You're a good boy.

So just fill in the number
of the lady you select

and give your clipboard
to Petra at reception.

-okay, l got it.
-Good.

Please excuse me.

l have to go sink
a 40-foot putt.

Good luck!

Whew!

Mm...

''Hedda, Swedish-American,
number 167.'' Hmm.

oh, no!

Do you need a hand?

No, l'm, l'm fine.

Uh, 1 76.

All right.

can you fill it out for me?

certainly. 1 76.
For tonight?

Yeah. There's a big Halloween
party at the After Dark.

lt's a black-and-white bash.

l'll take care
of all the arrangements

right away,
Mr. Sanders.

Thanks.

Whew!

Hey, wash your hands.
Everything's ready.

l'm really not very hungry,

and unfortunately,
l can't stay.

l'm sorry. l should
have called you first.

Why didn't you?

You didn't tell her yet,
did you?

l'm sorry, Val.

okay. Well, then l will.

or would you rather have
my doctor tell her

that you're the father?

Valerie, please, please,
don't be mad at me.

l mean, l've really, really
considered this.

l have sat up
night after night,

imagining how much better
my life would be with you.

And?

l think about my son.

l think about Michael.

Why is he any more important
than our child?

How do l really know
this is my kid?

You bastard.

You seduced me with lies
about leaving your wife...

you knocked me up,

and now you think
it's someone else's?

Are you telling me
it's impossible?

l'm saying our child deserves

as much as your wife's.

Valerie... Valerie,
l love you,

but you can't have this baby.

You gotta have
an abortion.

Fine.

lt's gonna cost you.

l know. l know,
l'm prepared for that.

What about $10,000?

And then you can take
a nice vacation.

What? You think $10,000's
gonna be okay?

l know what
you're worth.

What do you want?

A hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand?

Valerie, let's not forget
about all the good things

that are happening at your club,
okay?

Things that can stop
just as quickly as they started.

You wouldn't do anything
that stupid.

Neither would you.

Now,

take the $10,000, okay?

l mean, l still
want to see you.

l'm sorry, try buying
your wife off for ten grand.

Valerie...

Listen, l'll see you
and your investor friend

at the club tonight, okay?

And don't be late.

Whoa!

Alex, l think you have
a future in this.

Thanks.

Welcome to your nightmare.

You sure got him back on track.

Yeah.

You must come
from a big family.

Nope.

Well, then how'd
you know what to do?

That's pretty easy.

l, uh, l know
just how Alex felt.

l was afraid of the dark
myself when l was a kid.

You?

Yeah, me.

Donna, quick,
do your witch voice!

They're leaving.

okay. Don't go away.

l want to see what
your plans are tonight.

okay.

Let's eat them for dinner!

ooh!

Excuse me.

You made
a very good mummy.

Yeah, my daddy would
be proud of me.

So, am l gonna
see you tonight?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

-Yeah.
-Good.

Hey, B,
how's it going?

Steve, well, let's see,

l don't have a date
for the party tonight,

and if l see Mark,

remind me to rip his tongue
out with a baling hook.

Something to do
with Kelly?

-No, Tracy.
-Tracy?

Why are you
all dressed up?

clare have a change of heart?

No. She's going
to the party with Dick.

Dick Harrison.

So who are you going with?

Well, would you believe
l have a date

with a statuesque, 22-year-old,
Swedish-American,

nuclear engineering student?

Uh! clare is going to shrivel
when she sees this goddess.

And there's Hedda now.

Does, uh, does Hedda happen
to have a seester?

A seester? l don't know
if she has a sister.

Maybe she does.

Nice! Ay-ee!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Hel...! Hi.

Hi. You must be
Steve Sanders, huh?

Yeah. Who are you?

Tammy lchida,

your Japanese translator
for the Halloween party.

Where's Hedda?

Who's Hedda?

Hedda, Hedda is number 1 76-a.

l'm number 1 76.

Hedda is 167.

No, l'm sorry,
but there's been a mistake.

ls it the kimono?

Truth is, it was
my grandmother's.

l never had a chance
to wear it before.

l thought
it'd be cute.

lt is cute.

And you're very cute.

Uh, it's just
you're the wrong girl.

You know what?
Wait here.

l'm gonna go call
your office, okay?

oh, but the office
closes at 7:00.

closes at 7:00.

l'm sorry. You'll just get
the answering machine.

l'm really the wrong girl?

You're not interested
in yen-rate conversions?

N-No.

Well, l've never been
to the After Dark.

couldn't we still go
to the party?

Yeah, why not?

come in. lt's nice to meet you.

l can't believe
you asked him to take you.

You don't even know the guy.

Well, why shouldn't l?

He rescued me.

Hey, guys.

oh, Kel, would you please tell
clare that cliff is nice?

-cliff is a nice guy.
-See?

Now you tell her about Mark.

What happened to you?

obviously, Mark.

Hmm. He's just a lot different
than l thought he would be.

-What do you mean?
-l mean,

l've only loved two guys
in my life, Brandon and Dylan,

and this guy seems to be
a nice blend of both of them.

-Hmm.
-Kel, slow down.

Don't you think you're letting
this move a little fast?

Yeah, this from a girl
who's dating a sailor.

l'm serious.

Don't worry about me.

Good.

But don't wait up for me either.

And l thought

she was in love with Brandon.

So did l. So did l.

This is so awesome.

At North Valley State
where l go to school,

the coolest Halloween party
is at the Ag Hall.

Well, l hope
you're having fun here.

ls this ''clare''
here yet?

Yeah, she's over there.

Hey, do you dance?

l can try.

Mm, come here.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Brandon!

Trace.

Barkeep,

another, and pour this one
with your right hand.

-Hi.
-Hi. Happy Halloween.

Thank you. You, too.

Want to hang out?

What're you talking about?

Well, just 'cause
we didn't come together

doesn't mean we can't,
you know, dance.

okay, l give up,

l'm confused.

-Why?
-''Why?''

Why didn't you just come with me
in the first place?

Because l knew you were
only asking out of obligation,

and l wanted a date--

someone who thinks l'm pretty
and witty and available.

Two out of three do?

Which two?

Pretty and available?
Ha-ha.

Donna?

Hang on.

-Donna...
-Hey.

Hey. You look beautiful.

You, too.

l'm really sorry
l'm late.

oh, that's fine.
At least you called.

Here.
Um, hang on one second.

l just have to
grab something.

Well, let me tell you,
it was some accident.

l mean, just up the highway,
a truck hit a power pole.

l mean, l was only
on crowd control,

but it was pretty tense.

The power lines were down,
sparks were flying.

oh, there it goes again.

Don't worry, it'll go back on
in a second.

or not.

l bet it's an electrical
grid scramble.

That means it's gonna
be playing havoc

with the traffic lights.

We should probably stay put
till it comes back on.

Well, um, there's a couch
in the living room

if you can find it.

And you can go sit
and l'll find a candle.

Um, how about l just stick
with you instead?

You were scared of the dark,
weren't you?

Yeah, oh, yeah.

l mean, l had a little blankie,

and l had a special teddy bear
until l was about... nine.

Not everyone was a brave
little kid like you were.

oh, l wasn't always that way.

l used to get scared a lot.

Really?
And when did that change?

Um, probably when l was,
like, seven or eight.

one time l had this really,
really bad dream

and l remember l woke up
and l was crying and crying.

l was really scared,

and, uh, then l looked
and l saw his head peering

through the door right above
my Winnie the Pooh nightlight.

And it was my Dad.

And his face was,
was glowing, he was radiant.

l don't know, maybe it was
the look on his face

or it was just the moment,

l knew l never had
to be scared again.

Kind of like my Dad was
always watching over me.

Wow.

That's definitely
a confidence builder.

You're an amazing
woman, Donna.

l don't know why
l'm so surprised.

Well, you're surprising, too.

We have power.

We do. Shall we go?

We shall.

Hi, uh, l've been trying a cell
phone number for the last hour

and it's been busy.

l need you to cut into 555-1377.

And the name?

Bannerman. Kenny Bannerman.
Thank you.

l'm sorry,
that number's been disconnected.

What?

Disconnected?

Well, can you connect me
to the new number?

l'm sorry, l don't show
a new listing.

Look, l need
to get ahold of him!

l'm sorry.

Never mind.

He's not coming.

So you're sure
you don't mind?

-Mind what?
-Driving me home.

of course l don't mind
driving you home.

There's no reason
you should take a cab.

okay, l just don't want you
to feel like you have to.

can we not talk
about this, okay?

okay, okay.

l just feel bad. l mean, just
because l want to leave early

doesn't mean you have to.

Will you get in the car?

Right.

Not another word.

l don't know about you,
but l could leave soon.

l don't want
to go home yet.

Nobody said anything
about going home.

And what did you have
in mind, Mr. Reese?

l don't know.

ls it too late
to go to Paris?

l'd like to take a walk
along the Seine with you.

You are insane.

But that doesn't make me
a bad person, does it?

Here you go.

Listen, David, l gotta go out

and take care of something
for a little while.

can you keep an eye
on things for me?

Sure, no problem.

l appreciate it.
You're a lifesaver.

Hey, it beats hanging out

with the family
in Palm Springs, you know?

Are you okay?

l will be.

Hi.

You're clare, right?

Yeah. You're Steve's date?

You know, l just met Steve,
but he's a really nice guy,

and he seems to care
so much about you.

How much did he pay you
to say that?

oh, boy,
how did you know?

Know what?

That l'm
a professional escort.

Really?

Well, yeah, but that doesn't
mean that l don't understand

when someone like Steve
is really broken-hearted.

Right, that's something you pros
specialize in, isn't it?

Get out of my way, Sanders.

Not until you wipe that gooney
smile off your face.

l'm smiling 'cause l'm happy.

You're not? That's too bad.

Dick, don't you get it?

She's just using you
to make me jealous.

Really?

Well, at least l didn't have
to pay for a date.

What are you
talking about?

oh, Steve's date's
a hooker.

What?

She is not.

That's cute. Deny it.

come on. Let's go
before things get pathetic.

What'd you tell her?

l was just trying to help.

l think she may have
misunderstood me.

Yeah, maybe.

l'm sorry, Steve.

ls there anything
l can do?

No. l think
you've done enough.

Thanks. l had
a really nice time.

Yeah, me, too.

So, uh, you want
to come in?

lt's all right,

l understand.

Hang on.

l-l, uh, l didn't say no.

But you didn't say yes either.

Good night.

Brandon!

l'm sorry.
l'm just really nervous.

could we start over again?

Sure.

You want to come in?

Actually, no.

No?

No, but, um...
l would like a kiss good night.

Good night.

'Night.

Diane, hi.

Valerie, isn't it?
We met at the beach club.

Yeah, that's right.
l'm sorry it's late,

but Kenny asked me
to drop this off.

Give him my best?

l will.

Kenny, what is this?

Why is this woman
bringing you diapers?!

-Hey. Good morning.
-Hey, Donna.

Hey. Hi.

Well, we didn't wait up for you

like you asked last night.

Well, that's good, 'cause
l didn't come home at all.

oh, l hadn't noticed that.

come on, Kel,

don't you think you're moving
a little fast with this guy?

Donna, don't worry.

All we did was drive up
the coast,

watch the sunrise, and talk.

lt was very nice.

Hey, Kelly,

can you give us a hand
in here, please?

Sure.

l really like him.

Good.

Alex!

Hi. What are you
doing here?

l came to help pick up...
if l can.

of course you can.

This is my mother.
Mom, this is Donna.

Nice to meet you.

You, too. Hi.

Uh, he's a great kid.

Yes, he is.

Thanks for being
so sensitive to him.

oh, please, it was nothing.

l'm really grateful

to you and your boyfriend.
ls he here?

Uh, no, no, he's working.

And well, actually,
he's not really my boyfriend.

oh, that's too bad.

Alex says cliffs a super guy.

Yeah, well, Alex is right.

cliff is a super guy.

How's things with Tracy?

Gotta admit, the girl has got
my attention.

oh, that's good.

How're things with clare?

Hopeless.

l love her, but l think

the best thing l can do is just

forget her and move on.

Well, there you go.

lt's hard, but sometimes

it's for the best, you know?

Yeah. Well,
you forgot Kelly and moved on.

Like l said, it's hard.

l'm just tired of beating myself
up about this.

l can't possibly be as bad
as clare says l am, can l?

No, Steve, you're...

You're the best Steve

you can be.

You know what l'm saying?

You're damn right, Brandon.

She doesn't want me,
l don't want her.

could be opportunity knocking
now.

l hope she's wearing heels.

clare? Hi.

Hi.

l just wanted to apologize
for the way l acted last night.

l thought the worst of you,
and l was wrong.

You were?

come in.

No, l can't, actually.

But l just wanted you
to know that l talked

to Nat this morning,
and he set me straight

about his friend's
escort business.

And even though
this is one

of the stupider things
you've done,

l think l was a little harsh
on you and Tammy.

lt's all right.

No, it's not.

So l called Tammy's boss
this morning

to sort of, like, straighten
things out.

l don't know.

l guess Tammy was really upset

about ruining your evening.

So l told Mrs. cleveland

that, um, she did
a really great job, so...

Really?

Well, she's a nice girl.

Yeah. l don't want to be
at war with you, okay?

Me either, baby.

l'd better go.

Hey, wait a second.

What about me?

Don't l get forgiven, too?

l don't know.

l mean, l just, l don't know
if l want to go back

to the way things were,
you know?

Well, what's that
supposed to mean?

How're we gonna do things
differently?

Well, for one, l think that
while we're seeing each other,

we should be able
to see other people, too.

l don't want
to see other people.

l'm offering you the best
of both worlds here:

an open relationship.

l'm not gonna share you

with a dork
like Dick Harrison, no way.

Don't bag on him, okay?

Look, l'm trying to do
the mature thing here.

Why can you not do the same?

We love
each other, right?

So why don't we just see
what happens?

okay, so what does that mean,
we go out as a threesome,

or-or l get you to myself
every other night?

How does that work, clare?

Good-bye.

Thanks once again for proving
how immature you can be.

l've been waiting.

Well, there's a switch.

How are you doing?

lt took me two hours
to convince my wife

that there was nothing going on
after that ironic little prank

you pulled last night.

Let's keep this brief.

Well, you should have come
to the club with your friend

like you were supposed to.

You want to play hardball?
l can play harder.

Game's over, Valerie.

What's this?

A check for a hundred grand.

That's very generous.

lt's what
you asked for.

What do you expect for it?

What l expect is

for you to have
an abortion.

Understood?

Yeah, sure.

l can do that.

You'll hear from my attorney
tomorrow.

He's gonna need you to sign some
papers about confidentiality

and about absolving me
of anything more.

You clear on that?

crystal.

So this is it?

This is it.

Hello.

David.

Dad?

David, l have some bad news
for you.

Your grandfather died
this morning.

What?

Yeah, he was helping your mom
into the house

with some groceries,
and he just collapsed

on the street.

No.

He went very quickly.

He, uh...

he died in the ambulance
on the way to the hospital.

They couldn't save him.

No!
