Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 1 - Aloha Beverly Hills: Part 1 - full transcript

Living together begins to take its toll on Kelly and Brandon's relationship. Donna asks David to move back in with her at the beach front apartment, but with a stipulation that they sleep in separate rooms and that he doesn't tell her parents. Meanwhile, Steve has a couple of run-ins with Carly Reynolds, a young, overprotective, sarcastic, single mother with a six-year-old boy, named Zack, whom Steve becomes interested in knowing more about.

Someone once said

that the two scariest days
in a young person's life

are his first day of
school and his last.

This was graduation,
our last day of school.

And as happy as we were,
we were also scared as hell.

After being together

through eight long years
of high school and college,

we were all about
to take a giant step

into the great
unknown called "life."

Our goal after all these years
was to try to stick together,

but we all knew that
wasn't going to be easy.



After losing her
virginity with David,

Donna confessed to her priest,

but still hadn't
told her mother...

which made David furious.

Making love, for Donna,
was not exactly guilt-free.

Valerie was swindled out
of every penny she had,

and thought a
change of hairstyle

would change
her luck. It didn't.

After five different jobs
in less than two months,

Valerie discovered
that 9:00-to-5:00 work

was not her long suit.

With Clare gone to
join her father in Paris,

Steve had a hard time
saying good-bye to college life,

and got a job as
the alumni advisor



to his former CU
fraternity... KEG.

The salary for this honor?

A dollar a year.

Now summer is over and
Kelly and I are settling in

to the realities
of living together.

There is, we have
both discovered,

a little difference
between loving someone

and actually living with them.

Luckily for us,

we're both so in touch
with each other's feelings.

What?

Nothing. It's, uh... it's lacey.

Well, you said I could
make some changes in here.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

Then could you help
me move the bureau

to that wall over there?

Why? I like it right there.

I better get that. It
might be the phone.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Mr. Paulson.
How you doing?

Yeah, Mr. Paulson,
look, I know I, I know.

I don't have all the
experience necessary,

but I'll work nights,
I'll work weekends.

I'll do whatever it takes, man.

You want me to write obituaries?

No one can write
obits like I can.

Yeah, all right.

Well, if you'd keep my
resume on file, I'd appreciate it.

Okay, thanks for calling.

The Times?

Yep.

I'm sorry.

You know, it's just frustrating.

I don't have the
experience necessary,

but no one will give me a job
to get the experience I need.

It's not like you
haven't had other offers.

Yeah, I know.

But do you want to move
to Bismarck or Elkhart

or maybe Appleton, Wisconsin?

No.

Me neither.

Brandon, what's this?

Some old cards and stuff.

All from Tracy Gaylian?

She liked to send
a lot of cards.

Hmm, well, I guess her
other favorite hobby was

having her picture
taken with you.

I didn't know you
guys went to Vegas.

You know, Kel, if memory serves,

I broke up with Tracy for you.

What's the problem here?

No problem.

You know, Kelly, I did
have a life before you

just like you had
a life before me.

Yeah, well, at least
I had the decency

to pack my old life in a
box before I moved in.

Hey, Brandon.

Oh, wow, look what you've
done with the place, Kel.

It's kind of like an early Betty
Crocker kind of thing, huh?

It's nice.

Well, Brandon, that's all you
needed was a woman's touch, huh?

What am I supposed to do?

The lease extension

is up on my house.
I have to move.

We've been over
this a dozen times.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm
such a bonehead.

I don't understand
why you're making

such a big deal about this.

Milk?

Thanks.

Juice?

Why are you being so difficult?

I want you to move
in here with me.

In separate rooms...
like we're roommates.

That's not really
living together, Donna.

Where's the sweetener?

It is to me.

We're gonna be
together all the time.

But in separate rooms.

It's over there
on the microwave.

You lived here before
in your own room.

And that was okay
with your mother.

Yes.

But this isn't. David,

I don't want to deal with
her right now about us.

She's not gonna
understand, and honestly,

I don't want to upset her.

Why are you

being so stubborn about this?

Why are you?

Donna, you're an adult.

You can make your own decisions.

You don't need your
parents' permission.

I'm sorry, but either we're

living together or
we're not. Which is it?

Don't make me say not, please.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Boy, look at you.
Dressed for success, huh?

So, what's up with
this new job of yours?

I told you.

It's customer
relations specialist

for Arturo Panini fragrances.

And just what is that?

Well, I'm not exactly sure.

I mean, they haven't
given me all the details yet,

but Panini is a very
upscale, prestigious line.

It sounds perfect for me.

It seems like I heard
those same words

about your last
five summer jobs.

Yeah, well, coming from
somebody who's only job has been

sitting on his butt for the last
two months reading the want ads,

I don't know.

Listen, by the way,

um, don't tell
Brandon I told you this,

but he didn't get
the job at the Times.

He didn't? Oh! He wanted that.

I know, but don't
say anything, okay?

Shh.

Morning. Yeah.

What?

Um, sorry, it's gotta be
a bummer, Bran, huh?

I'm sorry. Small
house, thin walls.

I guess the only bright
side is it's not every day

that you get personally
rejected by the senior editor

of the Los Angeles Times.

That's what I love
about you, Brandon,

you always look
on the bright side.

You're forgiving, you're
understanding, you're...

quick to know when I'm
being set up for something?

Au contraire, mon frere.

What's this?

That's my rent.

I know I've been behind
the last couple months, so...

Steve, it's okay. You pay me
back when you get the money.

Uh, that may be a while.

You know ever since my dad
cut me off, I've been kinda tapped.

I may actually have to crack
open my savings account.

Savings account?

It's only for emergencies.

Not that rent isn't
an emergency.

Well, how much?

Not enough to make
you pant like that.

Sorry.

Would you mind
getting rid of those?

Oh, it's Martha Stewart coming
down from homemaker heaven.

Don't you have a job
to get fired from Val?

It's not a job,
it's a lifestyle.

See you later.

What's in the bag?

About a hundred pounds of grief.

Steve, could you do
me a favor this morning?

Well, if I can manage
to carve away some time

from my incredible
hectic schedule, perhaps.

Could you take Erin
to her soccer game?

I told my mom I would do it,

but I forgot I promised
Donna I'd go shopping with her.

Donna can't go
shopping by herself?

It's a girl thing.

Oh. Like lace bedspreads.

Erin?

Soccer?

Yeah, I'll take her.

Thanks.

Will you do these dishes?

Thanks.

Here.

Honey, take it.

It is your allowance.

There's nothing
to be ashamed of.

I just wish I didn't have
to keep taking it from you.

Donna, you are not taking.

I am giving.

Now don't deprive me

of one of my great joys in life.

If I can't take care
of my own daughter...

Thank you.

So how's the leg
treating you, Doc?

Well, I won't be running
the 440 anymore,

but you know what?

My putting has really improved.

Well you look terrific.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

All those years in school,

all that hard work,

I just never dreamed it'd be
this hard to find a decent job.

Oh, my... What is wrong with me?

The leg comes back,

and the memory... Here it is.

This is a friend of a
friend of your mother's,

Vanessa Markley.

Your mother doesn't know
very much about the job,

but Vanessa's looking
for a second assistant

in some kind of styling-
fashion-photo kind of thing.

Listen, give her a call.

The worst that can happen
is that it's a lousy job.

Thank you, Daddy.

You're welcome.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Say, listen. Uh, I don't
mean to pry or anything,

but this job business
aside, is everything okay?

Are things between
you and David okay?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine.

Good.

Hey, babe. You look great.

Thanks. More resumes?

Yeah. What choice do I have?

So, did you finish
redecorating the bedroom yet?

Nope. I still have to wallpaper.

Wallpaper?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, I know, I know.

And you were right, it was
time for me to get rid of my past.

So I'm-I'm throwing it all away.

The pictures, the postcards,
the faxes, the videotapes.

All of it, gone.

Thank you. I'm sorry
I've been a bitch.

You weren't.

But if you were, I
probably deserved it.

Hey, do you know what we need?

Yeah, but I don't
think we have time.

No. Besides that.

We need a vacation.
What do you say?

Ooh, yeah, when?

Well, we'll go next
week. Just you and me.

I wish we would have
thought of this before.

I have to start my work at
the Foundation next week.

So, start a week later.

No, I can't. Why not?

Okay.

We'll figure something out.

Yeah. Let's do something
really crazy and romantic.

All right. You handle the
crazy. I'll handle the romantic.

All right. All right.

I'll be back by 4:00.

All right. Say hi to Donna.

Dear Mrs. Chavez...

Uh, hey. Um, did
you forget something?

Yeah.

Obviously, so did you.

Pick 'em up, Erin.

Come on, Erin. Run
'em down, run 'em down.

Good girl.

Ooh. That's got to hurt.

Head fake, head fake.

Hey, ref, that was pushing.
How about a whistle?

Come on. A yellow
card or something?

What's the matter with you?
You don't see these things?

Pushing, interference.

Hey, don't worry about it.

What's your name?

Zach.

Zach, you listen to me.

You're doing great out
there. You're playing with a lot

of heart and that's
what's important,

but you can't let those
other kids push you around

like you do.

Didn't anyone ever tell you
what to do if that happens?

No. No?

Well, I'll tell you.

You take this elbow and
you jam it in their ribs.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?

Take your hands off
him. Are you okay, Zachy?

Are you even a parent here?

What did I tell you about
talking to strangers?

But he's not a stranger. No?

Well, have you ever
seen him before?

No.

Then he's a stranger.

Not as strange as you are, lady.

Don't you think you're
overreacting a little bit?

Excuse me, Carly. Reynolds,

you're back in the
game in two minutes.

Who's your child?

I don't have a child.

I'm babysitting for Erin Taylor.

So, you're not a parent?

No, not that I know of.

Then you don't know the first
thing about parenting, do you?

Well, maybe not the first
thing, but I do recognize

a kid being beaten
up out on the field.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

The other kids were using him
as a tackling dummy out there.

I was just trying to teach
him how to protect himself.

Yeah, well, no one
asked for your help.

Zach asked for my help.

Every time he got
tripped out on the field,

he was asking for help.

Open your eyes, lady.

Stop being so
over-protective and doting.

Maybe Zach's father should
teach him how to defend himself.

What did you say
your name was? Steve.

Steve Sanders.

Yeah, well, is it
true, Mr. Sanders,

when you look up the
word "jerk" in the dictionary,

that it says "see
'Steve Sanders'"?

Come on, Zach.

Zach doesn't have a father.

Ouch.

Come here, you.

Woo!

Hello, Ms. Markley?
Hi. This is Donna Martin.

Donna Martin,
Dr. Martin's daughter.

Right. I'm calling about the
second assistant stylist job.

What?

I'm sorry. It's just
kind of noisy in here.

Yeah, the stylist job.

Right.

Well, okay, I, uh, I
just graduated from CU.

My major was in
fashion and marketing.

Really?

Uh, yeah, that would be great.

Tonight? Okay, sure, absolutely.

Thank you.

Yeah? So?

Huh?

Donna put it together.

I like it. It's cool.
What do you think?

It, uh, looks great.

I think all the
girls will like it.

It kind of gives the
place, you know,

a sort of... you know?

Up-Upscale look?

Yeah, that's it. Class.

You know?

Oh, the plumber
wanted me to tell you

he needs to replace the
sink in the little girls' room.

It'll be about 200 bucks.

Um, how much are those uniforms?

About a $100.

But we'll each
need at least two.

Great.

How did Val do it?

I don't-I don't understand. I've
got bills coming out my ears,

and a payroll that's killing me.

But business is good, isn't it?

No, it sucks.

It's down almost 60%.

Wow. None of us knew that.

Knew what?

Nothing, nothing. We're
just, uh, just talking shop.

I better get back downstairs.

See you, guys.

Hi. Hey.

So, guess what?

I don't know. What?

I got a job interview.

Fashion stylist.

Get out of here. That's great.

Well, it's just a
second assistant's job.

You know getting
coffee, stuff like that.

Donna, would you stop it?

Come on, it's a start.

And it's the field you want.

You know what?

You're not going to be a
second assistant for long anyway.

Especially after they
see what you can do.

Well, I don't have the job yet.

Come on, it's in the bag.

So, uh, why is
all your stuff here?

You're not
considering living here

in the office, are you?

It's just until I
find a new place.

Okay, you won't
live in the apartment,

what about on my parents' boat?

You can stay there
for a while and...

Donna, it-it's too far.

Besides, you know,

I'm actually, uh,

I'm saving a little money
on rent staying here.

Well, you're not
gonna stay here.

You're gonna come with me.

We'll have the
apartment all to ourselves.

Look, we already
talked about this, all right.

Not until you tell your mom.

Excuse me, sorry.

David, the plumber
needs to see you.

Something about
needing new drain pipes.

Tell him I'll be right there.

All you gotta do
is tell your mom.

It's not that easy.

Not one but two
unassisted goals.

That's outstanding.

Your ball control,
your passing skills,

you're really great, Erin.

But we still lost.

Well, the team
lost, but you won.

You know why?

Because you never gave up.

In fact, I think
that kind of victory

deserves something
cold and creamy

maybe with a
little hot fudge on it,

what do you say?

Twist my arm. Twist your arm?

Twist your arm,

if I twist your arm, you
won't be able to play soccer.

But you don't need your
arm to play soccer anyway.

That's the fun of soccer
no arms, no hands.

Need a hand?

No, thank you.

Hi, Steve.

Hey, Zach.

Are you sure you
wouldn't like me

to call the auto club for you?

No, thank you,
really, I can manage.

I see that.

You know, it sounds flooded.

Your fuel system's flooded.

So not only are you
a child psychologist,

you're an auto mechanic, too.

You're quite the
Renaissance Man, aren't you?

Well, you should see me dance.

I'd rather not.

I'm not trying to help you.

I'm trying to help Zach.

So if you lay off the
starter motor for a second,

push the gas pedal down
all the way to the floor,

all the way to the
floor, count to three

it might start. Try it.

Lucky guess, huh?

Yeah, well for your
information, I only counted to two.

He's nice, Mom.

Put your seat belt on.

You know, I totally think

you're doing the
right thing holding off.

You don't have to jump
right into it with David

just because you two...

Had sex? Yeah.

I love him.

He loves me, so...

Not living together's
not gonna change that.

And believe me, Donna,
living with Brandon

isn't exactly what I
dreamed it would be.

Well, personally,

I think you're being
a little hard on him.

I mean I still have
these silly notes

that a boy in fifth
grade wrote to me.

Hidden in your lingerie drawer?

No, packed away somewhere
at my parents' house,

but that's beside the point.

No, it's not, it is the point.

If he dumped Tracy
the way he claims he did,

then why is he still holding
onto old pictures of her?

Okay, truthfully, you
don't have letters,

pictures of old boyfriends?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Somewhere.

Yeah, right, somewhere.

Dylan?

Now that is different.

We were special.

Would you like to try
Arturo Panini's fragrance.

Val?

Uh, what are you doing?

Uh, nothing.

Um, it's just part of
my executive training.

Um,

well, what I meant
to say was, uh...

It's not a job, it's
a lifestyle, right?

I swear, Kelly, if you
tell anybody about this...

Valerie, why
would I tell anybody

that a good friend of
mine sprays cheap perfume

on passing
strangers for a living?

Don't worry, your
secret's safe with me.

Come on, Donna.

I don't get it. I just
don't get it, man.

Why is she having
so much trouble

telling her parents
about us living together?

I mean, maybe I'm being stupid,

but it, it's starting
to make me feel

like maybe she's ashamed
of me or something.

I think maybe it's the
other way around, bro.

What, what do you mean?

Well, all right, this is just
a stab in the dark, okay?

For 22 years,
Donna Martin has had

a very strict Catholic
upbringing, correct?

Yep.

Just sleeping with you
must fill her with guilt already.

Now you add on to that the guilt

that her parents
are gonna lay on her

for living with you as well?

I think maybe it's just
too much for her to handle.

That's the way I see it.

Wait, wait, wait. What
am I supposed to do?

What am I, just supposed to
forget how I feel or something?

No, no, just give
her some space.

I mean, this thing with the
two of you, it's gonna happen

because it, it's what
both of you want.

It's just, it's gotta happen
at her pace, not yours.

Oh, I don't know.

I just, you know, I-I
want a commitment.

I see this whole thing you
and Kelly living together,

and it looks great.

Oh, no, no, no, it's not as
easy as it looks, my friend.

Get out of here.

Are you having
trouble with, uh, Kelly?

Brandon and Kelly fighting?

I don't think so.

Kelly may disagree
with you there, my friend.

Seriously?

No, everything's okay.

I'm thinking about throwing
her a surprise birthday party.

I figure that'll smooth
everything over.

What do you think? Yeah?

All in favor say "aye."

Aye. Aye.

Let the record show.

Thank you for
doing this with me.

I don't think I
could've done it alone.

It's okay.

You're doing the
right thing, Donna.

You and David
both had AIDS tests.

So this is just
another precaution.

Then why am I so nervous?

I mean, they're
just tiny little pills.

I feel like I'm robbing
a bank or something.

I guess I'm just
a little confused.

I mean, first sex, now this.

It just goes against
everything I ever learned.

What am I doing?

You're protecting
yourself... and David.

You saw what I
just went through.

You don't want to put
yourself through that.

It isn't worth the
risk... or the pain.

I know. You're right.

I just...

I never imagined that
I'd be standing here

buying birth control pills.

Donna?!

Oh, my God. Mom, hi.

Hi.

Hi, Kelly, dear. How are you?

Good, good. And you?

Uh, well, actually,
I'm lucky to be alive.

The, uh, shoe sale at O'Meyers?

Don't attempt it unless
you're up on karate.

I tell you, some women
are absolutely crazy.

So, Mom, what are you...?

Uh, you don't usually
come here, do you?

Dr. Morgan's

office is so disorganized.

They called your
father's prescription

in here instead of the
store over by the house, so...

That's all right. I was
in the neighborhood.

No problem.

Oh, I understand you spoke

to Vanessa Markley. Mm-hmm.

That's great. I hear nothing

but wonderful things about her.

When are you gonna see her?

Huh? Oh. Uh... Uh,
later this afternoon.

Good.

Oh, uh, God.

I just remembered
that I forgot to buy... my

aspirin.

Okay, here you are, young lady.

Your doctor prescribed
three months worth.

What?

Now, if you've never

taken this brand
of birth control

pill before, I want to explain
how the new dispenser works.

Birth control pills?

Yeah. They're mine.

My doctor thought
that they would

help regulate me.

Oh, they're-they're
yours, Kelly.

Mm-hmm.

Mr. Cummings? Yes?

Call on line three for you.

Okay.

Oh, for a minute
there, I thought, uh...

I'm sorry, Kelly.

I feel like I've just
invaded your privacy.

I-I apologize.

You needed some
aspirin? Sure did.

I'll pick up some
for both of us.

Oh, thanks, Mom.

Oh, and thank you... very much.

You're welcome.

Well, you are obviously
very talented, Miss Martin.

Raw, to be sure.

Naive, to be expected.

Renderings immature, perhaps,

but innately talented.

Thank you.

Is it hot out here, or is
it me? I don't think so.

Do you have any
aspirin? I think I do.

Oh, you wouldn't believe
the day that I had today.

Roger quit.

My assistant just stormed out.

I've got seven major
clients backed up,

and this shoot is going to
go to hell in a hand basket if...

Oh, thank you.

Are you sure it's
not hot out here?

No. Actually, it's kind of cool.

Uh, Ms. Markley, about the job.

I realize I don't have that
much experience, but...

Second assistant is out.

Without Roger, I
desperately need a first.

We're gonna be shooting
with Fernando Caldero.

You do know Fernando's work?

Oh, who doesn't?
He's absolutely...

Temperamental, yes.

Demanding, of course.

Cantankerous, to a fault,

but just absolutely
brilliant in subtropical light.

Oh.

I really think I need to
go to the ladies room.

I do hope that I've
answered all your questions.

Uh, no. What about the job?

The job? Of course, the job.

What else have we been
talking about the job?

We can go over all the details...
You know, fringe benefits,

salary... in my studio tomorrow.

We shoot in
Honolulu in three days.

Honolulu, as in Hawaii?

Well, unless

they have moved
it someplace else.

We're talking about

the Christopher
Swimsuit Catalog.

It's always shot in Hawaii.

So, I have the job?

That's what happens
when you get hired, isn't it?

I thought I was very clear.

I really have to go.

Thank you.

Yes.

something to come true... ♪

Okay, this place is dead.

Maybe I should close up.

No. Don't worry, David.

The night is young.

The crowds will show.

Oh, I hope so.

This band is terrible.

Well, there is
that, but, you know,

people show up
for other reasons,

like the ambiance,
the fine women,

the cheap booze.

The waitresses.

Ooh, is that Marcy?

Oh, yeah, those are the new
uniforms Donna designed.

Pretty neat, huh? Neat?

Did he say neat?

Neat. He said "neat."
It's an adjective.

Hot. The word is "hot."

You'll have to excuse
me, gentlemen.

Suddenly, the evening
has taken a turn

for the Steve Sanders among us.

Wow. Let me push
through the crowd

so I can get a
drink in this place.

Hey, guys.

Uh, Freddie, a
white wine, please?

Sorry. No white wine.

What?

I, uh... I... I messed
up the order.

It wasn't delivered.

David, that's gonna cost
you, like, 100 drinks tonight.

Thanks for reminding me, Val.

I'll see you, guys.

Uh, listen, by the way,
Kelly wanted me to tell you

that she's not gonna
make it tonight.

She's probably macraméing
some new furniture or something.

Sorry.

You know, while you're at it,

you might want to
take it easy on David.

He's having a hard enough
time keeping things together

without you
headlining it for him.

You're right.

I guess I should go apologize.

I guess you should.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

I'm not allowed to
date the customers.

But I'm not a customer.

I haven't paid for a drink
in here since they opened.

I don't know.

I'll have to ask David.

Well, if that's all it takes, I
can ask him for you myself.

Would you really do that for me?

Sure. I do for you,

you do for me.

So, who's doing who?

Yeah.

Uh, why don't we work
on that one together?

Dinner tomorrow night perhaps?

David, I-I'm sorry.

I... I was just joking.

By the looks of it downstairs,

there's nothing
really to joke about.

Club's doing okay.

David, it's me.

Remember, I used
to own half this place?

I mean, you got to be
off at least 60 or 70%.

You're going to belly-up
in a couple weeks.

You're working me
for something, Val.

What is it?

No. This is for you, okay?

Just hear me out.

I have a business
proposition, okay?

Let me buy back in.

We'll go 50-50,

and you can take it
until I can pay you back.

David, you can't lose.

You know I can bring the
After Dark back up to speed.

Come on. We were great together.

You handle the music,

I handle the business.

I can't.

I can't... I can't jeopardize

the relationship I have
with Donna over business.

I can handle Donna.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

Brandon, guess
what happened to me?

Whoa. Cheer down, girl.

I can't. I've got to find
David. Where is he?

Oh, David-David is,
uh... David was here.

He was here, he was, but
then there was, uh, uh...

There was another
tunnel collapse

because of the subway
thing that they're building...

Upstairs? Thanks.

Oh, hey. Hey.

Guess what. Guess what.

Uh, uh... you won the lottery.

Oh, no, no, no. Better.

I got a job. I got a real job.

Well, that's an accomplishment.

Congratulations. That's great.

Okay, ask me where.

I don't know.

Well, take a wild guess.

Borneo? Burma.

Why'd you say that? I
don't know. I panicked.

Ah, Hawaii.

The job is in Hawaii,

and it starts on Thursday.

Hawaii... that's um...

A long commute.
It's a... far away.

Whoa. Hawaii? You're-You're
going there just like that?

Yes. Isn't that great?

No. It's...

It's not a permanent
job. It's just

for a photo shoot.

I'm an assistant to
Vanessa Markley.

And guess who's shooting it?

Fernando Caldero.

The Fernando Caldero.

The whole thing is gonna
be less than a week.

And guess what?

I want you to come with me.

I-I can't. I can't afford to.

See, you don't have
to pay for a thing.

I'll take my first class ticket.

I'll change it in for
two coach seats.

Well, who's going to watch
the club if you go, David?

No one.

You know, I can... I can

close this place
down for a week.

I mean, business
isn't gonna pick up

until the kids are
back in school.

Wait a second.

Why don't we all go?

Yes!

None of us took a
vacation after graduation. I...

I-I think we owe ourselves this.

The man has a point.

You don't have to ask me twice.

I'm already there.

Who knows when
we're gonna be able

to afford a vacation
like this again?

You can't afford it now.

Speak for yourself.

I have an emergency
fund stashed away

and what bigger
emergency is there

than a Hawaiian vacation?

Oh, this is so great.

We're all going to Hawaii.

As long as I can talk Kelly

into starting her
new job a week later.

Well, you guys can count me out.

I have too much to do here.

Aloha...!

Oh, boy, here it comes.

You care to explain that?

Actually, it's very simple.

Just hear me out, okay?

You're gonna loan me money

from your emergency
savings account

and I'll pay you back,
double the interest

when I get a new job.

All right, I'll tell you
what the deal's gonna be.

Not a penny of interest,

but we share the same
room and the same bed.

What?!

What do you mean, "what"?

It's not like it hasn't
happened before, you know.

After the graduation
party and all.

Yeah, Steve, I know
what happened, okay?

And not to cripple your
fragile male ego or anything,

but that was an accident,
an absolute fluke.

An unfortunate lack of good
judgment on both our parts.

Mm-hmm, well,
maybe the first time.

But what about the second
time it happened that night?

Okay, okay, listen to me.

Mm-hmm. All right.

No interest, one room, two beds.

Deal.

Now, either step in or step out.

I guess it's true what they
say about cold showers, huh?

Yes, it raises the voice.

Okay.

Which one?

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

Why don't you just
tell the truth, Brandon?

You don't like anything
I'm doing in here.

No, no, no, it's not that.

It's just, um...

Neither one of
those is really... me.

Well, what is you?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm just not a
wallpaper kind of guy, huh?

I thought the whole
point of me doing this

was to make this room ours.

You just want to keep it yours.

That's not true.

All right, Kel...

The one on the left.

It'll be fine.

Fine. Oh, that's great.

Why don't you try to hold back
your enthusiasm, Brandon?

All right, Kel,

why don't we talk about this

instead of talking
around it, okay?

This isn't about the wallpaper.

This is about the photos
and the cards, isn't it?

I can't win this one.

If I say yes, I'm a bitch,
if I say no, I'm a liar.

This isn't about
winning or losing.

This is about how you and I

feel about each other
at this point in time.

The past is over.

Over but not forgotten.

Hey, uh, Brandon, I just
wanted to let you know

that I've changed my mind
and I'm going to Hawaii.

I hope you can make it, Kel.

It just wouldn't be
the same without you.

There's no way I
can go, Brandon.

Did you call the Foundation

and ask them if you
could start work late?

I can't, it's totally
unprofessional.

All right, fine, if you're not
going, I'm not going either.

The whole point is to
take a vacation together.

You know what?

I think what we need is a
vacation from each other.

So, what

I said was, "I don't
know if this blue is me"

and she said,
"Well, if it's not you

then who is it?"

What do you think?

I think you need a
blue that's more you.

Yeah, that's
exactly what I said.

You know, Steve,

I think you really
kind of understand me.

A lot of guys don't,
but they say they do

because they want other things.

But I think you
really do, don't you?

Yeah...

Whatever you say.

Oh, the service here stinks.
Do you know what you want?

Hmm, they got burgers here?

I don't usually eat too much
meat but once in a while

you just gotta have a
burger to satisfy a craving.

You ever get that?

You know, a craving?

All the time.

Uh, sorry for the wait.

We're swamped today
and two girls didn't show.

That's really not our
problem now, is it?

Again I'm... I'm really sorry.

Uh, can I start you
guys off with a...

Carly?

As if my day wasn't bad enough.

What are you doing here?

Well, I don't know
how to break this to you,

but some of us actually
have to work for a living.

Steve, is she being rude?

No, she's just...

How's Zach?

Zach's fine.

Look, um, I'm really busy.

Can I get you guys
a drink or what?

See, I told you.

She is being rude.

My boyfriend thinks

you're really obnoxious, too.

Boyfriend? Boyfriend?

Miss, can we have
our drinks, please?

Before somebody dehydrates here?

I hate to correct you

but rude and obnoxious
would actually be me telling you

that you're probably one
of the dumbest people

walking the face of the earth.

Carly! Marcy...

Miss, please, we're dying here.

One second, please.

Steve, are you just going
to let her talk to me that way?

No.

Carly, apologize to her.

Excuse me, is there
a problem here?

Yes. No.

Carly?

Your waitress

called me stupid.

I did not.

I called you dumb. What?

Now that was dumb.

All right, that's it,
you're out of here.

Right now, you're fired.

I'm sorry, sir,

I'll get you taken care of.

I think she likes me.

Martini's shaken now.

Yeah.

You know, it's not too
late to change your mind.

I can't.

I start my work at the
Foundation next week.

I just think it'll be best

for both of us if I don't go.

Yeah, thanks a lot
for your help, Steve.

Who told you to pack
your whole closet?

You better hurry, we're
going to miss the plane.

Steve, I'm going to, uh, I'm
going to go in my own car.

But I thought we
were going in one car?

We were.

You're not bailing
out on me, are you?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Well, hurry up,
we're gonna be late.

Aloha, we'll send a postcard.

Steve, I'm not
bailing out on you.

Go to the airport,

if I'm not there, just
get on the plane.

Okay.

See ya, Kel.

You better go.

Just... just tell me that
you don't want me to go.

I don't.

But I do.

Kel, I haven't missed your
birthday in seven years.

Why don't, why don't
you just come with me?

It'll be fun, come on.

Brandon, it's just a birthday.

We can celebrate it
when you get back.

You better go or you're
going to miss your flight.

I don't care about the flight.

Just go.

Have a good time, okay?

You know I love you.

And I love you.

Donna's boss is

I better go give 'em a hand.

Oh, poor kid.

Has the worst case of

I think she used every

Thanks for the graphic reminder.

Vanessa, do you want a

Just kill me.

Somebody put a

Can I get you anything else?

A bed and I think a bucket.

You know, she shouldn't

Maybe it's just a 24-hour virus.

She could be better

And if she's not?

She'll just have to

It won't affect my tan one bit.

I'm... I'm sorry

about this whole living

It wasn't fair.

I know you have a lot
to deal with right now,

especially with your mom.

I just wanted to know that
I'm not going anywhere.

So as far as me moving in,

I want you to wait until
you're absolutely ready.

That means everything to me.

Thank you.

I knew there was a
reason I loved you.

Oh, yes.

This bed'll be just fine,
this whole room is fine.

And where exactly do
you think you're sleeping?

Oh, I was thinking
about the left side.

Can you see if there's a
room with two beds, please?

I'll check with the
assistant manager, ma'am.

Oh. Thank you.

Thanks very much.

Hey, Val, what's
the big difference?

One bed or two
beds, it's all the same.

Well, if you don't mind the
sleeping arrangements...

Moi?

Then I think you'll be
very happy on the sofa.

Does it take quarters?

You have to do it.

Look, I-I don't know
the first thing about...

You'll learn.

Quickly, I hope.

Ms. Markley,

isn't there someone
else that we can call?

Just a mortician.

Tell him I'm almost ready.

Gallows humor.

Accurate, possibly.

Ms. Markley... Donna,

you're a very
talented very capable,

very smart young woman.

If I didn't think that
you could handle it,

I would not have called
Fernando and told him

that you're handling everything.

Oh, my God.

You know what
you're saying is right.

She can handle this.

David! Donna, come on.

Think about it,
how hard can it be?

We're all here with
you, we can help you.

Smart boy.

Just one more thing.

Mm-hmm.

Whatever you do,

don't piss off Fernando.

Oh, man. Look at that pair.

Ah, you've seen one,
you've seen 'em all, Steve.

I'm talking about the women.

They're scorchers.

Is that all you ever
think about? No.

Sometimes I think about food.

Maybe you ought to think

about putting on some
sunscreen there, my brother.

No, I'm cool. Really?

You look a little pink
around the edges to me.

Does that hurt? Uh-huh.

They call that a healthy glow.

Is that what they're
calling it these days?

Oh, so many women,
so little self-restraint.

You know what?
Time to take the plunge.

I'll catch you guys later.

Bye.

Hey. Hi. Hey.
What'll it be folks?

Uh, I don't know,
something cold, fruity?

Tropical smoothies?

Make it two.

Thanks.

You know, it's too
bad Kelly isn't here.

Is there a reason

you felt like sticking that
knife in me right now?

What, I think
she'd really like it.

Val, I thought you two

buried the hatchet?

Why are you still at
each other's throats?

That's ridiculous. We're not.

Brandon, despite how it looks

we're actually
really good friends.

Mm-hmm.

Thanks. Thanks.

It's me okay, Brandon,
remember me?

You can quit with the
dog and pony show.

I just need you to
get off her back, okay?

I mean it's hard enough

for all of us to adjust
to living together

without you fanning the flames.

Look, you may not believe this,

and you have every right not to,

but I'm just doing it, because
I-I want to protect you.

Protect me?

From what? From who?

From you. From me?

Yeah. I mean, I know
you better than anybody.

Even yourself.

I just don't want you
to get hurt, Brandon.

I mean, here you are

on the most beautiful beach
in the whole entire world

and you feel like crap.

I hate that.

Val, maybe your
heart's in the right place

and if it is, then

I appreciate it.

But the rest of this stuff
with Kelly has gotta stop.

You understand?

Yeah.

Well, well, this is turning
quite into the amateur hour,

isn't it.

I mean the only reason
that I took this gig

was to work with Vanessa.

So what am I gonna do now?

Uh, you could give her a
chance, that's what you could do.

She just might surprise you.

I just love surprises.

Uh, Mr. Caldero,
uh, we've prepped

every detail in LA.

I have all of Vanessa's
layouts and notes,

I booked all the locations,
checked the props,

double-checked the
modeling agencies,

catalogued the swimsuits.

I have everything Vanessa has.

Oh, really?

You got her eye?

Because this is what
this is about, Miss Martin.

It's about the eye.

The art. The look.

We're not taking snapshots
here, everything has to fit.

The way the hair falls,
the color of the sand,

the ripple of the shore,
can you understand that?

Of course I can.

The last thing I
need is a poser.

Hey, wait a second,
she's not a poser.

There's a reason

why she graduated
first in her design class.

Oh, that's gonna help me
sleep really well tonight.

Mr. Caldero,

look, I'm not pretending
to be Vanessa Markley,

I'm Donna Martin,

but no one takes more
pride in their work than I do.

I know I can do a great job.

I just need you to give
me the chance to prove it.

Okay, Miss Martin, 7:00 AM,

9:00 AM the first
shot has to be ready.

And please no screwups.

There won't be.

Mr. Caldero, thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

Please close the
door as you leave.

Okay.

Donna, I don't know how you
did it, but that was incredible.

The way you handled
him when he was coming...

There's no way
I can pull this off.

No way. I don't have a clue
what I'm supposed to do.

This is gonna be a disaster,
a complete, total disaster.

Ah, I hope we didn't interrupt.

No. No. No, not at all.

Val. Hi, sweetie.

Hey. Hi.

God, when are we
going to catch up?

Oh, how about now?

Yeah, uh, pre-sunset
sightseeing?

Well, I would love to,
but I can't right now.

But we're still on for
tomorrow, right? Absolutely.

I'll call you, okay? Okay.

Bye. STEVE: Bye.

She looks great. Copy that.

Of course, she's no Kelly.

Sorry.

Donna?

Vanessa, uh, what are
you doing out of bed?

Here, come-come in and sit down.

Your young man
told me all about it.

He did?

Presumptuous of him, of course.

Impulsive without question.

And necessary?

Absolutely.

Does my head look big to you?

It feels like it
weighs 300 pounds.

Vanessa, I, um...

I don't know how
to begin apologizing.

No.

I came to apologize to you.

I am so sorry, Donna.

It was completely unfair

of me to put you
in that position.

What happened on
the beach this morning

was entirely my fault.

Not yours by any means.

And I take full
responsibility for it

and for the awful embarrassment

I must have caused you.

I truly hope that
you can forgive me.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you would be... good.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Ugh! This is so lame.

What?

Not what. Who. Us.

We're pathetic.

What are you talking about?

I mean, here we are
in the most beautiful,

romantic place in the world,
and we're with each other.

So?

Are we missing something here?

Yes we're missing something.

Kelly? Oh, thanks, Val.

You know I didn't mean
it like that, Brandon.

Uh-huh, right.

You know, I don't have a clue

what you're talking
about, woman.

Okay, let me sum it up
for you in one word... Clare.

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.

I mean, look at me.

I'm young,
beautiful, intelligent,

and I'm here alone
with you guys.

Now, why is that?

Just lucky, I guess.

There's Noah. Let's go

buy him that beer that we owe
him. No, no, no, no, guys. Uh-uh.

What? Bluntly?

Get lost.

What?

Steve, I think Miss Malone wants

to pay him a
private social call,

if you know what I'm saying. Ah.

That's why I love
you. Thank you.

Shall I wait up
for you, my sweet?

Not if I get lucky.

Play safe.

So, did you get the number

of the girl at the airport
who gave you the lei?

No. Don't you feel
cheap and used?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, right, it's you.

Valerie Malone.

I-I met you at the photo
shoot on the beach?

Yeah, that's it.

What's up?

Nothing. Uh, may I?

Yeah, just take your shoes off.

Okay.

I think you missed
a spot over there.

Well, I'll keep doing
it till I get it right.

Yeah, practice makes perfect.

Those kind of come-on's
work in Beverly Hills?

Usually.

They work here, too.

So, how did you know I
was from Beverly Hills?

That obvious, huh? Oh.

That and the way
you let your friends

get all beat up
at the photo thing.

You just sat on your butt

and didn't swing into action

till the whole thing was over.

Did someone send
over a dossier on me?

They didn't have to.

It's written all over your face.

Which, as

you already know,
is incredibly beautiful.

So does that kind of
line work in Hawaii?

Usually.

Wine or beer?

Wine.

Come on, I got some below deck.

Hmm. Oh, I love your boat.

Oh, it's not mine.

I just sailed over
for some rich guy.

Well, do you have a boat?

Not like this one.

Mike Tyson on her ear, man.

She had a hell of a
swing for a little girl.

Well, maybe if you
hadn't grabbed her.

I... I did not grab her.

I caught her from falling.

Well, maybe if you hadn't
knocked her off her barstool.

I didn't

knock her, I... I... nudged her.

Nudged her by
grabbing her... Hey!

I didn't grab anything,
and who's side are you on?

You know,

you might want to
put some ice on that

before it swells. Room service?

Yeah, order some more beer.

You sure you want more beer?

I'm still standing, right?

Yeah, but you're listing.

Which way?

Left.

Left.

Two more ought to do it then.

Beer it is.

Hey, Brandon, you know
what really fries my eggs?

No.

You.

Me.

Yeah, we're-we're here in Hawaii

and I-I feel like I'm alone.

Down at the bar, I felt like I
was drinking all by myself.

When-when are you
gonna loosen up?

We're in Hawaii.

We're gonna go
home in a few days.

Yeah, we're going home, Steve.

But home to what?

Do you have a job to go home to?

When you put it that way, no.

Do any of us?

You're still bummed
about the Times.

The Times, the Chronicle,

the Herald Tribune, the Union.

It wasn't supposed
to be like this, man.

You're supposed
to get out of college

and get a job, and
just go on with your life.

Yeah, where's that written?

School, job, marriage,
kids, mortgage.

Maybe that's your
plan, but it's not mine.

I'm gonna explore my options,

see what life holds for me.

You know what your trouble is?

You make too many plans.

It's like setting yourself
up for a disappointment.

You need to step back.

See what comes to you.

Uh-huh.

The huntress home from the hunt.

So, darling, did
you bag the big one?

Would you put a cork in it?

Oh, that's kinky.

No luck, huh?

That's not it at all.

Just that he had plans
he couldn't get out of.

He's coming with us tomorrow.

That's great.

You okay? Mmm.

My friend here is
waxing philosophical.

Not exactly the best quality

in a drinking buddy.
You want to talk about it?

No.

Why don't you guys
get some sleep?

I'll see you tomorrow.

That's what we should do.

An awfully small bed
for such big pillows.

Brandon, will you do
me a favor, please?

Take Romeo with you, huh?

Feel like doing
charity work tonight?

Why?

'Cause I'm in need
of a little charity.

You're so pathetic.

I'm sorry Eric couldn't make it.

Oh, me, too. They called him in

for some last minute
orientation. Mm-hmm.

Did you tell Noah what
time we were leaving?

I'm not worried, he'll be here.

Hey, right, there he is.

Room for one more?

Always. Hey. Yeah, jump in man.

Glad you could make it.

Watch your heads, ladies.

Donna,

I appreciate you calling,
but I think you're forgetting

Brandon broke up with Tracy,

not the other way around.

It sure didn't look
that way to me.

They're just friends.

That's what friends do...
They hang out, they have fun.

I hope you're right, Kel.

No, Donna, I trust Brandon.

I trust him completely.

Uh, Kel, David just got
done with his shower.

Yeah, I don't want him
to know that I called you

so I should go.

Okay. All right.

I'll see you in a
couple of days.

Okay. Bye.

I tried to warn you, amigo.

The sun out here
is a lot different

than it is back home.

Tell that to my back.

Ah, don't worry about it.

David and Noah will be back soon

with some stuff the locals use.

Maybe if I'm lucky,
I'll be dead by then.

Just relax.

It's gonna take a
few minutes to work.

What is that stuff?

Uh, kukui nut oil and aloe vera.

All right, that should do it.

Thanks, Noah.

You know you should
put some more on him

in a couple hours.

Me? Well, yeah.

Aren't you and him,
uh...? Me and him?

Are you kidding?

I don't think so.

I love you, too, Val.

Uh, Noah...

Hey, listen, um,

you know I think he's gonna
probably be useless tonight.

Do you want to get
something to eat?

Maybe show me a
little bit of the island?

I'd love to, but I can't.

I-I've got stuff to do.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

'Cause, you know, I'm
leaving in a couple of days.

I'll tell you what,

why don't I take you
and your friends tomorrow

to see places on this island
that no one has ever seen.

Oh, that'd be great.

Um, you know I think my
friends are busy tomorrow,

but I would love
to see the island.

All right, you're on.

I hope so.

This is unbelievable.

Yeah, the ancient
Hawaiians used these valleys

for their fertility rituals.

Well, I can see why.

Uh, pardon the cliché,

but, uh, do you come here often?

It's been a long time.

Not since...

Since what?

Uh, not since the last time.

Come on down here, I want to show
you something. What about them?

Don't worry about
them. They'll be okay.

Okay. Come on.

Oh, wow.

You know I think I've seen
the most beautiful place

on the island, and then
you show me a better one.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

Oh, it's...

incredibly romantic.

I can't believe I have
to leave in two days.

You'll be back.

Besides I'm
planning a trip to LA.

Really? I got a job offer

prepping a 50-footer to Tahiti.

Well, if you need
a place to stay...

Thanks.

I'll find something.

What? What is it?

It's nothing.

In fact... everything
is just right.

No, I just...

You know you're starting
to give me a complex.

In spite of myself,

I'm really attracted to you.

Then, uh, what's the problem?

There's no problem.

I... just can't make love
to a woman I hardly know.

It's a thing I have.

I-I can't help it.

Hey, it's not you,
it's me, okay?

No really, Brandon, you
dumping me is the best thing

that could have ever
happened. Come on, Trace,

don't put it that way.

You make it sound so... cruel.

Well, to tell you the truth,
at the time, I thought it was.

It's okay.

I told him everything.

Yeah.

Is this, uh, is this
where I thank you?

Thank me for what?

For letting Tracy go...

to me.

You know how funny life is?

I mean, it wasn't
until I met Eric,

that I finally understood

what you felt for Kelly.

And then I realized that
it was the best feeling

that you could possibly have.

You're very lucky to
have her, Brandon.

Just like you guys are
lucky to have each other.

Get out of here.

No, no, no, this one's on me.

Oh, thanks.

Hey.

Well, well.

Isn't this a pretty picture.

Kel? What are you doing here?

Maybe I should ask
you the same thing.

I can't believe you're here.

Hmm, I bet you can't.

Wait, let me
guess. Valerie call?

No. Donna.

Donna? Mm-hmm.

Kelly, let me explain...

Explain what?

Well, for starters,
this is Eric Andersen.

Tracy's fiancé.

Fiancé?

Fiancé. ERIC: Hi.

Kelly, is it?

Nice to meet you.

I am so embarrassed.

You should be.

Can we buy you guys a mai tai?

Come on.

I know it sounds
like such a cliché,

but why does love
make such fools of us?

When you figure that one out,

I think you'll solve the
world's problems, baby.

Mmm.

Hmm.

Her fiancé. Oh, yes.

God, I was so embarrassed.

I feel like such a jerk.

I don't think
women can be jerks.

I think that's-that's a
right reserved for us men.

You know before you got here,

I had a lot of,
uh, time to think.

Yeah? Yeah.

Think about what?

Do you really want to know?

Yeah.

Wallpaper.

I think I liked the one
on the right better,

didn't you? Yeah.

Yeah, you did. Yeah.

It was much nicer. Mm-hmm.

What are all those viny things?

See 'em all over the
place. They're banyan vines.

Some are about a
hundred years old.

See, they grow down
from the branches

and actually plant
themselves in the ground.

Kind of like extra tree trunks.

Well, it's too bad
Kelly didn't come.

She wanted to take Tracy
to breakfast to apologize.

Can't say I blame her.

Where's he taking us?

To the second most
beautiful place on the island.

God, you should
have seen the first.

Okay, so tell me that I'm crazy.

You're crazy. Thank you.

Noah?

Noah?

Well, look at him! I
mean, he's-he's cute,

and sexy and funny and, oh,

God, look at that butt.

The whole thing
makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, well you know what
he does for a living? Nope.

He fixes boats.

I mean, he sails
them for rich owners.

Now why couldn't
he be a rich owner?

I mean, he's as broke as...

as I am. Valerie,
there's nothing wrong

with not having money.

Well, there's nothing
great about it, either.

Brandon, I can't.

I mean, at this
point in my life,

I can't get involved
with anybody

without a substantial
bank account.

What's wrong with me?

Watch yourselves over here.

It gets pretty dense
and dangerous.

Man, this rain forest

is incredible.

Ugh, enough of these vines.

Where's this place
already? Relax, Val,

it can't be that much further.

David, you can't move
back in with your dad. Ow.

You're gonna hate it. Donna,
what am I supposed to do?

Huh? Come on, I told you

I'm not gonna pressure
you anymore, and I'm not,

but I've got to live somewhere

and at least with my
parents the rent's cheap.

Oh, man.

Check out these banyan vines.

These have gotta be at
least a hundred feet long.

Are you trying to change
the subject on me?

No.

Oh, great

What's wrong?

Oh, my shoelace is untied.

Oh, great.

Do me a favor, go, uh,

go stop everyone, all right?

Tell 'em I'll be right with
you guys. Okay, hurry up.

Oh, great.

Oh!

I'm gonna go back and
see what's keeping him.

No.

We'll all go back.

Go.

Where did you guys stop?

A little further up here.

Here, we stopped
right here by this rock.

Well, maybe he
went back to the car.

For a shoelace, Steve?

David! David!

Why would he go back?

What if something
happened to him?

David!

What?

You see something?

No, no, it's nothing.

Um... Steve, take
Val and Donna...

Take 'em back to the car.

If David's not
there, call the HPD,

and tell 'em there's
a hiker missing.

Yeah. Come on.

Careful.

Let's do it.

Uh, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
be careful, man.

Be careful, it's slippery.

Thanks, partner.

You got it.

There he is.

David.

David? David?

Take it easy, take it easy.

I got you. I got you. I got you.

Take it easy.
Where are you hurt?

Everywhere, everywhere.
Where are you hurt?

Any sharp pains?

Nah. No. Your neck?
Your back, okay?

No, it's okay,
it's fine. It's fine.

I don't think we
should move him.

We have to, it's a tidal stream.

The tide's coming in.

Can you walk, bro?

I don't know. Want to try?

Yeah. Okay.

Ow! Ow! Ow! My ankle!

I don't know how long it's gonna
take them to find us back here.

You up for it?

Come on, David. Here we go.

Ow! Oh, easy.

Here we go.

Hey, wait. Guys, guys,
guys, here they are.

David!

Hey!

Hey, grab a leg, buddy.

Easy, easy, easy, easy,
easy. David, are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.

You're all cut up.
Yeah, I know. I know.

Thanks, man.

Thank you for saving my
butt back there. You got it.

Let's go.

♪ ♪

Wow.

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.

♪ ♪

Well...

You can't imagine
how scared I was.

Yeah, I can.

I was, I was pretty scared, too.

I'm telling them.

My parents.

When we get back,
I'm gonna tell them.

Donna, you don't have to.

No. I want to.

Just the... the
thought of losing you...

not having you near me...

You're gonna move
in with me, okay?

Okay.

Oh, thank you.

Thanks.

Mahalo!

Hey, sit over here. Hey, guys.

We'll make room,
I'll get a chair.

David, I never thought
I'd hear myself say this,

but, uh, you could stand to lose

a few pounds.

Brandon!

Does it still hurt?

Only when I'm awake.

Oh, well, maybe you should
try one of these fancy drinks

with the umbrellas to
help you ease your pain.

Uh, I thought Noah
was going to be here.

I really wanted to
thank him again.

He's probably got a hull
to scrape or something.

Ah, there's Barnacle
Bill right now.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Noah, this is Kelly.
Kelly, Noah. Hi.

How're you doing?

We were beginning to think
you weren't gonna make it.

I had to wait for Keoni
to get back from work.

Keoni, the group.

Hi. ALL: Hi.

Hi, nice to meet you. NOAH:
Steve, I want you to meet

a friend of mine, Keoni
Kamura. Keoni, Steve.

Aloha.

Hi. Hi.

I told her all about you.
She's loves blondes.

Oh, dude. Valerie, I told you.

There is a God.

Care to join me for a drink?

I'd love to.

So, what'll it be?

♪ ♪

So we're leaving tomorrow, bro.

You gotta keep in touch.

I'd better. I'm
coming with you guys.

I made reservations already.

Really? You're
taking that job? Yeah.

Well, if you need
a place to stay,

we have an extra bedroom.
I'll probably be working

down at the marina.
I don't think it's...

The marina? Well, my
parents have a boat down there.

They hardly use it.
You could stay on it.

I mean, I don't want to impose.

Well, it's no imposition.

I'll call when we get upstairs.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we would like for you to
join us in wishing a very

happy hauoli la
hanau, that's Hawaiian

for "happy birthday"
to Ms. Kelly Taylor.

Flight 29 from Honolulu

is now arriving at Gate 93.

So my parents are thrilled

that you're going to
be staying on their boat.

And in fact, my dad
said he'd like to pay you

to do some maintenance on it.

Sounds great, thanks.

No problem.

So you guys all live together?

No, no, Donna and I are staying

at the beach. VALERIE:
And the rest of us

are one big, happy family.

Isn't that right, Kel?

If you say so, Val.

You never told me
exactly what it is you do.

Well, you know, a little of this

and a little of that.

I'm kind of in between
careers right now.

Hey, Kel, we're,
uh, we're over here.

All right. I'll see you at home.

Bye. See you, guys.

Aloha.

Aloha!

You must be exhausted

after your long
two-day vacation.

It just means we'll need
another one real soon.

Absolutely.

You know what I was
thinking about on the plane?

What? How much I love you.

And I can't wait
to get you home.

Oh, I can't wait to be gotten.

Oh, man, are you kidding me?

You know, why don't we just
catch a ride with Steve and Valerie?

We'll deal with this
tomorrow. No, no, no.

Come on, we'll
change it right now.

It'll take two seconds.
Brandon, I'm tired.

I know you're tired.

Want me to teach you
how to change a tire?

No, not particularly.

But if there's anything
I can do to help you,

you just let me know. Okay.

What was that?

I don't know.

Brandon, don't.

What the hell you
looking at, man?

Nothing.

I got a flat tire, that's all.

No problem.

Come on, man, get in.

God, that was scary.

Yeah, what do you say
we just get this tire changed

and get out of here, huh?

Kel, I got you. I got you.

Okay.

Kelly, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's all right.

It's okay, it's all
right. Stay with me.

Stay with me, Kel.

Kelly, you gotta stay with me.

Kelly, Kelly, look at me.

Look at me, you gotta
stay with me, Kelly.

Kelly! Kelly!

Guys, call 911.

Call 911. Where's the
phone? Where's the phone?

Kel? Kel?

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Come on, stay with me.
