Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 16 - Illegal Tender - full transcript

You know, this gets
better every time I read it.

Then it must be
brilliant by now.

You know, this is the
first review I ever wrote.

Swoon over it any
more, it'll be your last.

Okay, listen to this.

"Playing at Prufrock's,
Jamie Blake's acquired

"a local rep for being edgy,
but to me she was ragged.

"I saw no spark; simply
another in an already long line

"of angst-ridden
female vocalists.

Now..."

I'm looking for David Silver.



And you would be? Jamie.

"Unfortunately, her
band followed her lead.

"So on my four-star
rating system,

"four being best,

"Jamie's performance

rates a big... black hole."

So you're the jerk
that wrote this trash.

Jamie. "Jamie"? The Jamie?

Well, it's nice to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

Gotta go. I'm late for dialysis.

Good luck with that.

Thanks for ruining my career.

Look, I just wrote
what I thought.



Who cares what you think?

You don't know
anything about music.

That's not true.

Look, those who can, do.

Those who can't, write reviews.

Well, I'm entitled
to my opinion.

Your opinion got me fired.

Fired? After your hatchet job

came out, the club
owner dropped me.

Hey, I'm sorry. I worked hard

to get where I am;
a few careless words

and you tear it all down.

Well, I didn't mean
for that to happen.

Then you're even more
thoughtless than I imagined.

What's this?

Proof that you cared.

You don't tape record
people's conversations.

Well, I'll remember that

the next time I'm
treated like dirt.

Is there a point to this?

Do you want to come in?

No, here is fine.

Five minutes. I said "no."

Well, I just wanted you to hear
what a convincing liar you are.

Is that it?

Well, for most people,
that would be enough.

Is this the only copy?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Are you going to
send one to Kelly?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Look...

Emma, I'm sorry

that I hurt you, but I don't see

how hurting Kelly is gonna

make that any better.

You hurt me.

I hurt Kelly.

Kelly hurts you.

Got to admit, it's got
a certain symmetry.

Is this the only copy?

Go to hell.

We need her.

Steve, you promised not
to interfere in my decisions.

And my decision is she's gone.

Man, we have never
had so much mail.

Emma's struck a nerve.

People want to talk about

their relationships.
She's not the person

they should be
talking to, believe me.

Why not? She's
the advice columnist.

It's about relationships.

I'm not having this
fight with you right now.

I'm getting her back.
No, Steve, don't.

Give me one good reason.

I'm the editor.

And I'm the publisher.

Okay, um... Yeah?

I had an affair with her.

Want to talk about it?

Not much to say.

I'm a cad.

Yeah, you're a cad.

Does Kelly know about this?

Not yet.

What? What?

No, no, no. No, no.

You are not confessing.

I figured honesty
would be the best policy

in a situation like this.

As a first resort? Never.

And what would you suggest?

"Dear Kelly,

"My boyfriend cheated on me.

"Do I forgive him
or stick needles

in his eyeballs." Signed...

"Torn in Two."

What the hell is that?

Well, think about it, Brandon.

Kelly loves that armchair
psychology stuff, right?

Well, we make her
the advice columnist.

Send her this letter.

Then we get a free
read on how she'll react.

And if she reacts badly?

Well, your secret's
safe with me.

But you think she's awful.

But the CD is great.

David, you're not asking
me to listen to her CD.

You're asking me to let
her perform. I don't know.

I think maybe I went too far.

I mean, this stupid
review thing got her fired.

Power of the pen.

Well, I feel responsible.

You write an obituary,

people are going
to think she's dead.

Hello? Yeah.

Over-under on the punch count?

$250, cash only.

Yeah, got it. See
you at the club.

"Punch"?

Uh, we're thinking
about of doing

a tropical night at the club.

So, um, you were saying?

No, you were.

That you're not
going to help me out.

David, I run a business,

not a charity.

Val, I'm asking
for a favor here.

Look, just...

listen to the CD,
all right? If you like

what you hear then let
her open up tomorrow night.

Maybe live isn't her thing.

Maybe she was just
having a bad day.

So you're not even
gonna listen to it?

No.

If you've listened
to it, I don't have to.

You're not going to regret this.

Maybe that's
because I already do.

You actually like boxing?

The sweet science?
What's not to like?

Let's see: brutality, savagery,

I don't know, brain damage.

It's primal.

Try primitive.

It's two people alone, circling.

Feeling each
other out, you know.

Waiting for the right moment.

Plus, there's clinching.

Mmm...

Well, as long as
you put it that way.

Want to go a few rounds later?

I'm counting on it.

Thanks.

You're a quick study.

Oh, well, come upstairs
and I'll show you how quick.

Hey. Hey.

Any knockouts in there,

or are they just
pummeling each other silly?

When you stop
and think about it,

boxing's not so bad.

Abs. Pecs.

Satin shorts with "Killer"
sewn into them... it's a look.

Think I, uh, could
use it for Child's Play?

That's your department.

Ah, you mean Zach's.

He's the one with his finger
on the pulse of little America.

We talking a big
commission here?

'Cause I'm his manager.

We're talking field trip.

You off tomorrow?

Yeah and Zach
doesn't have school,

so I say we stop till we drop.

Great, speaking of which,
where is the little genius?

Steve took him to
dinner and a movie.

Really?

Never thought

I'd see the day where Steve's
idea of dinner and a movie

was a corn dog and
Lassie Come Home.

He's been terrific.

Other than my mom,

he's really the only person
I feel totally comfortable

leaving Zach with.

Well, that must
be a good feeling.

Yeah, it is.

Okay, so, we're on for tomorrow?

10:00.

Okay, I'll pick you guys up.

We live with you, remember?

Mm-hmm, but I'm spending
the night on the boat.

Oh, nice.

I think so.

Okay. What's the total?

$4,800 and counting.

It's spread pretty even, too,

so you won't have
to lay much off.

Like you said,
I'm a quick study.

Okay, I'll have your
take by noon tomorrow.

Okay.

Hey, uh, you kind of
surprised me there.

You didn't surprise me a bit.

You want to explain that?

Not particularly.

No, try anyway. Uh...

Noah, it's nothing really.

Just some friendly
wagering with customers.

Look, we run a nightclub here,

not a casino, okay?

You told me the owner was cool.

Rule number one.

Everybody's on board.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I run a business, too.

Do me a favor. Run
it somewhere else.

Okay.

No-no-no-no-no-no.

The money stays here.

I don't think so.

You want to bet?

Don't think you're not
on the hook for this.

Do you know how much money

you just cost me?
Bookmaking is illegal.

Newsflash: betting on sports

is practically the
national pastime.

I want you to give
the money back.

What? But... You're
giving the money back.

No, no, no... End of
conversation, okay?

Yeah?

Is the betting window open?

Of course. Always.

Okay, let's go over this again.

I know what to say, Steve.

One screw up. One false step.

One mention of that
double cheeseburger,

the chili cheese fries
or that chocolate shake

and...

Uh, cherry soda. Yeah, thanks.

One mention of any of that
stuff and I'm a dead man.

Now, let's go over

what I told you to say.

Okay, chicken,

mashed potatoes, broccoli...

Are you telling
me to lie to Mom?

No, no, not unless she asks.

Okay? Okay.

Hey. Hi, how are you?

Zach!

Steve!

You've got to keep hold of him.

I was. No, you've
got to hold his hand,

especially around traffic.

What, he's not a moron.

He's not gonna jump out
in front of a Mack truck.

He's six years old.

He doesn't always watch what's

going on around
him; that's your job.

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

No, I don't. I thought I
could trust you with him.

You can trust me.

Come on, we had
a good time tonight.

I did my job.

I really love this
"Ask Kelly" idea.

Only it should be "Ask Emma."

It was her decision to move on.

Plus, it's a good opportunity

for you to play armchair shrink.

Mm-hmm. Well, I am

in a great relationship
with a great guy.

I must have something
to offer the lovelorn.

My thinking exactly.

Ooh, this is a good one.

"Dear Emma," Kelly.

"My live-in boyfriend

"recently told me
he had an affair.

"He was apologetic

"and claimed it
only happened once,

"and it didn't mean anything.

"He swears he's broken it
off with the other woman.

"He can't forgive himself,
but he's asking me to.

"We've survived
turbulent times before

"and I believe we love
each other very much,

"but I feel so betrayed.

"What should I do?

Torn in Two."

That's a tough one.

How would you answer?

Oh, no-no-no-no, no, no, not me.

I just want the male's opinion.

You know, so I can
have a balanced answer.

Okay, um...

Well, the guy did wrong,

no question about that.

But... maybe he's
learned his lesson.

Does she want to throw
away what seems like

a perfectly good relationship
based on one little slipup?

That's a valid point.

I mean, he did
come clean about it.

And if he tells her
the truth about that,

I mean, he'd tell her
the truth about anything.

Hmm. It could actually

build trust in the relationship.

Really, you think?

Wow...

Thanks.

What about you?

I don't know.

You don't have a gut feeling?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, what is it?

Something I want to sleep on.

Good night.

I told you I would
give you my column

later today.

Jeez, is he always this pushy?

Man cracks a
surprisingly mean whip.

I just thought this
being your first article

that if you had it in
early, maybe we could

clean it up a bit. Are
you saying I can't write?

No, I think he
just wants to know

what it is you're
going to write about.

Infidelity.

Pro or con?

Kel, the best way to get
Herr Publisher off your back

is to tell him that you're
thinking your column through.

Isn't that right? Absolutely.

I just want to make
sure you're being careful

and objective. Why
wouldn't I be objective?

We're just saying
what you write matters.

Yeah, some readers
may actually base

important life decisions
on your advice.

You think?

I know it.

That sounded great.

We're all set.

What about the manager?

She didn't even hear it.

Don't worry about it. I
used to run this place,

and we're kind of seeing
each other. Is that a good thing?

It could be, for both of us.

Cool. Thank her for me.

Look, um...

I'm just really trying to
make up for a stupid mistake.

You guys are really good.

Don't let jerks like
me tell you otherwise.

Thanks, that's sweet.

Thanks.

Val, hey.

I want you to meet Jamie.

Jamie, this is Valerie Malone,

the manager. Hi.
Thanks for letting us play.

Yeah, sure, uh,

David says you're very talented.

I hope so, because I talked
to the manager at Prufrock's.

Val. Well, he said you had

some trouble at the last show.

I already explained that to you.

It was an off night, it happens.

Well, just don't let it
happen here, okay?

Sorry, she can be kind of, uh...

Intimidating?

Yeah, yeah, to be kind about it.

Boyfriend's booking
acts now, huh?

Don't start, okay?

Did you give back the money?

I'm working on it.

It's a yes or no question.

You know what,
you used to be fun.

What did Donna do to you, huh?

Made me laugh,
she's been faithful.

You know, the usual.

Maybe not for you.

You know what?

You own a bar now.
You should enjoy it.

I'll handle the details, okay?

In other words I
should trust you?

Yeah. Yeah, right.

It's really cute,
don't you think?

Yeah. Mom, look!

There's the clown!

We'll go find him
later, sweetie, okay?

That's okay, Zach. We're done.

You were a great model
and trendsetter, huh?

Soon as you change we
go do the fun stuff, all right?

He doesn't hate
everything, just shopping.

It's a male trait that comes
out at a very young age.

Oh, please, look at Noah.

Heir to the Hunter fortune,

and he doesn't own a shirt

less than four years old.

Were you wearing
one of those shirts

when you didn't
come home last night?

I told you I would
be out. You did.

Now tell me the good parts.

You know, it's really great
being with him like that.

You want to know the best part?

Every detail, but hold on.

Are you okay

in there, Zach?

Yeah.

It was the feeling
I got when I left.

Just knowing wherever
this goes with him,

whatever happens,

I'm gonna be able to handle it.

Valerie! Hey.

So how is your protege?
Did you have a good session?

You know what? You
need to stop this right now.

David, I saw her kissing you.

She was thanking
me for helping her.

Your help...

Oh, that wouldn't
have anything to do

with the fact that
she's beautiful,

would it?

You want to know
why I'm into her?

Not because of
the way she looks,

but because of what she does.

When she's thanking you
with misty-eyed gratitude.

No, when she playing
music, all right?

When she's making a living

and doing what she loves.

She thinks I'm a
wannabe and she's right.

I want to be getting
my equipment

out of hock, and I want
to be up on that stage.

Well, then do it.

It's not that easy.

But you know what, though?

I'm really sick of investing

in things that aren't
going anywhere.

And that's gonna be us

if you don't stop this
whole jealousy thing.

Think she's writing up there?

Oh, man, why don't
you go take a walk?

Do some sit ups, have
a colonic, do something.

I got to tell her, man.

How about a vow of silence?

I tried that.

It's killing me.

I can't even look
her in the eye.

Brandon, if you tell her,
you're gonna hurt her.

I already did.

She just doesn't know it yet.

Hey, guys, want to get
something for lunch?

Steve, give us a
minute, would you?

You guys hungry?

Yeah, I'm gonna go find
something in the kitchen.

I'll help you. Kel, no.

Um, stay here, would you?

What?

I need to tell you something

and you're not going to like it.

You can tell me
anything, Brandon.

People...

People make mistakes.

People do stupid things.

Let Steve get it.

You know that letter
you were reading me

last night?

Yeah, the one that Steve
keeps asking me about?

Yeah.

That...

This is driving
me crazy, hang on.

Hello?

Yeah, it's me.

Emma, I don't think you
should be calling here.

Do you mind explaining that?

Emma, look...

I know this is going to hurt,

but you've got to
listen to me, okay?

The affair? It's totally over.

The calling? It's got to stop.

Kel?

That was Emma on the phone.

"Torn in Two," that
was about Emma.

Kelly, listen...

No wonder he's been

hounding me,
waiting for my reply.

What does he think I'm
just gonna forgive him?

Worse, does he think

Carly's just gonna forgive him?

I think you got this wrong.

Brandon, I just heard
him talking about an affair.

Steve slept with Emma.

I'm going to go to
the grocery store.

You guys want anything?

No, I'm not hungry.

Excuse me.

You told her?

Not exactly.

Look, everything's
under control.

We can do business as usual.

Could've fooled me.

Are we counting our
profits or aren't we?

Uh-huh, what about Moses?

Noah? I'll handle him.

My thought exactly.

From now on, I send
an associate to collect.

Name's Jack.

He'll be by tonight.

How will I recognize him?

Don't worry. He'll
recognize you.

$1,200 even.

Now, don't spend
it all in one place.

Nah...

Well, two, at least.

All right, ladies and
gentlemen, gather 'round.

Watch closely. Not once

do my fingers leave my hands.

Here we go. On
the count of three.

One. Two. Three.

Thank you very much!

Whoa. Look at that. Look at
that right in front of your eyes.

One, two...

Mama, look... the clown.

Yeah, we'll go see
him right after this trick.

Okay. Okay.

Here we go.

Okay, let's try
something else, shall we?

This is a quick little
trick with three kings.

How many kings do you see?

Hey, Mr. Clown.

Abracadabra. One, two, three.

Thank you very much.

Please don't be
afraid to be generous.

Zach?

Zach?

Donna, where's Zach?

I don't know. Zach?
He was just next to me.

Zach?

What's the matter?

My boy. He was right here.

Maybe he wandered
into the nearest store.

Oh, please, God. Zach!

Mommy?

How many times do
you want to hear it?

Round it off to
the nearest million.

I'm sorry. Okay? I
couldn't tell Kelly about you

without telling her about me.

You were going
to tell her anyway.

Until you talked me out of it.

Well, I was wrong. It happens.

Like clockwork.

Well, if you want to readjust
your halo, now's your shot.

Hey.

You know, I was going
to stay out of it, but I can't.

We have too much history.

It's not what you think.

Oh, yeah? Then what is it?

I thought you and
Carly had something.

We do.

You have a funny
way of showing it.

Did you know about this?

Uh...

Sort of.

It was, um...

So, that's why

you let Emma go?

Because you were
uncomfortable having her here?

I was uncomfortable.

And you did it even though
she was good for the paper.

Well, I'm proud of you for that.

Thanks.

You know I was always hoping

that some of Brandon would
somehow rub off on you.

Some loyalty, some trust...

Something. Kel, Kel, please.

Aren't you going
to say anything?

Yes.

Don't tell Carly, okay?
I don't want to hurt her.

Neither do I.

That's the only reason
why I'm not going to tell her.

Because part of me
thinks she should know

what kind of guy
she's involved with.

He's six years old, four feet
tall, strawberry blond hair.

I'm sorry, but we get
so many kids in here,

if I saw him, I probably
wouldn't even remember.

No sign of him at the car.

No one around
here remembers him.

I just reported him
missing to security.

But they're gonna
need to talk to you

for some more information.

Yesterday, I chewed Steve
out for not holding his hand.

I mean, what kind
of mother am I?

You never, ever let go of him.

This is not your fault. It
could've happened to anybody.

Well, then whose fault is
it? I mean, I'm the parent.

He's just a little boy.

We're gonna find him,
Carly. We're gonna find him.

Hey, why are you crying?

Are you lost? Yeah?

Can you, can you
tell me your name?

I'm not supposed
to talk to strangers.

That's right, that's right.

That's usually a good idea.

But how are you going
to find your mommy

if you don't speak to someone?

Come on, I'll help you find her.

Here, do you want to share
some of these with me?

You're going to have
to trust someone.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Well, I suppose I deserve that.

It's the least you deserve.

I'm surprised Brandon told you.

He didn't have to.

Oh, you found out on your own?

Oh, do tell. I'm sure
there's a good story in that.

He doesn't love you, Emma.

And I don't love him.

But the sex was great.

How can you pass
yourself off as a friend?

Trick of the trade.

To get a good story, you
have to lower people's guard.

Same with guys.

And breaking up a happy
couple, that means nothing to you?

People who are
happy don't stray.

And the truth is, he was much
happier when he was with me.

I heard him tell
you it was over.

Not to call, not to come by.

It didn't sound like Steve
was very happy to me.

Steve? Steve Sanders?

Yes, Steve Sanders.
Who else would it be?

But I never slept with Steve.

Emma, I heard the call, okay?

I heard him tell you
the affair was over.

My affair wasn't with
Steve. It was with Brandon.

You're lying.

I want you to come inside.

There's a tape you
need to listen to.

Hey. Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.

You writing a song?

Yeah, something like that.

Look, David, I'm really
sorry about earlier.

I overreacted.

It's all about the music.

I know.

Do you, really?

I think so.

But you can be the judge.

I have something I
want to show you.

Okay, a couple more. A few more.

I lied. Okay, one more.

I just don't want to
fall down the steps.

You won't, you won't.
Okay, you have two more.

Okay. All right. Ready?

Yeah, okay.

Got it.

All right.

Okay. Open 'em.

What did you do?

Oh, you mean, besides buying
you state of the art equipment?

No, I mean-I mean,
why did you do this?

Well, I like investing in things
that are going somewhere.

Look, Val, I can't-I
can't take this.

I mean, I'll never be
able to pay you back.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure we can
come up with a payment plan.

Well, I'd need easy terms.

Well, then you've
come to the right place.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

His name is Zachary.

He's about four feet tall.

Strawberry blond
hair, brown eyes...

Blue jeans, black sneakers. No?

He had on a red sweatshirt.

Yeah, with a California
University logo on it?

Yes, so you saw him? I think so.

Light red hair...
Yes, wait. Carly!

Come here.

This lady saw Zach.

You did? Where?

Right. He was right up there.

He was holding
hands with his father.

They were so cute together.

He doesn't have a father.

Oh. Are you sure?

I mean they certainly looked
like they belonged together.

I'm his mother, okay? I
know. Which way did they go?

Uh, that way, I think...

Uh, I'm not sure.

He's been kidnapped.

Uh, okay? What about the time

that I plagiarized
one of your papers

and almost got you
thrown out of college?

Even.

Ah. Okay, what about the
time that I had that beer bash

at your house and 200 of
my favorite drunks showed up

and made a mess?

Even.

What about the time I
rented out your house

for a porno movie and
didn't tell you about it?

Even. We're even
for all of it, okay?

Are you happy now?

Like a man whose criminal
record has just been expunged.

Kelly's reply. Hmm.

From Kelly Taylor.

"Dear Torn in Two:

"Men say all the same
thing when caught cheating.

"'I felt nothing for her.'
'It only happened once.'

'It'll never happen again.'"

"Believe any of it and
you deserve what you get.

"You can never trust a cheater."

"And without trust, you
have no relationship.

"So dump the guy now
before he cheats again,

and then you'll really
be Torn in Two."

So much for
telling her the truth.

Circle gets the
square on that one.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

This lady right here saw Zach.

Oh, I'm glad you're here.

She says a man took him,
and she doesn't know where.

I sent a guard to find you.

He could've taken
him anywhere by now.

It's been so long. Miss, please.

Why aren't you doing something?!

The man she saw take your
child, he brought him here.

Zach?

Thank God.

Mommy.

I was so worried about you.

Are you okay?

I followed the clown.

I know I wasn't
supposed to, but...

It's okay honey, it's okay.

I was so scared.

Oh, I bet you were.

It's okay now though.

Everything's okay.

Like you said... Those
who can't, review.

Sounds like you can.

Ah.

Uh, you excited about tonight?

Nervous.

You'd think the stage fright
would wear off after awhile.

That's what happened to
you the other night, huh?

Big time.

I'm such an idiot.

I should have picked up on it.

I'm sorry.

David, maybe this
was a bad idea.

I mean we could
still call it off.

No, no.

Believe me, I know a
little bit about stage fright.

You perform?

Yeah.

I, uh,

almost had a record deal.

Really? What happened?

I don't know.

I just stopped trying.

Then someone

screamed a little sense into me.

I'm sorry for coming
down on you so hard.

Mm.

Don't be; I'm glad you did.

Anyway, um, the
stage fright thing...

What I used to do was

I'd focus on my
ex-girlfriend and pretend like

she was the only
one in the crowd.

And that worked?

Yeah.

Um, you want to check out
the dressing rooms or anything?

David, do you mind if
I focus on you tonight?

No.

No, not at all.

Hey, how is he?

He's remarkable.

Before he fell asleep, he
was the one reassuring me

that this would
never happen again.

He's a great boy.

Thank you.

For everything.

Without you today,

I'm sure I would have lost it.

I'm just glad I
was there with you.

I'm so glad you're here.

What you must have
been through today.

Hey. Hi, Donna.

I'm, um, off to the After
Dark to meet Noah.

Hopefully, boxing's over. Bye.

Bye.

Carly, I want to apologize

for what happened
in the parking lot.

Don't.

Well, no.

It's important.

When things like this
happen, it makes you realize

how quickly things can turn,
and you can't be too protective.

I wasn't holding his hand
when he wandered off.

That's a common mistake.

I'm his mother, and I
wasn't holding his hand.

And you're a great mother.

And he's very lucky to have you.

When I saw that he was gone...

But he's not gone.

He's here, and he's
always gonna be here.

I'll make you a deal.

I promise I'll always
remind you to hold onto him.

And I promise?

To always remind
me to hold onto you.

The tighter the better.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You guys want to hear more?

Definitely.

All right, well, you're not
going to unless you can

get the guy responsible for
me being up here on stage.

Come on, everyone, let's
hear it for David Silver!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Did you put her up to this?

Well, we talked, and
your name came up,

and so did your dream.

Oh, I'm gonna kill you.

No, you're gonna
owe me for this.

Now go.

So I hear there's a reviewer
here from the Times.

Lets give him
something to write about.

All from betting?

Suckers bet.

We simply take their
money, you know.

Not anymore.

You're under arrest...
Illegal gambling.

What?

Turn. What?

What-what's going on?

Take your hands off of me!

Hey, hey, what's going on here?

Who's asking?

I'm the owner of the club.

Well, then you're
under arrest, too.

Section 32 of the penal code.

Let me guess: bookmaking.

I can explain.

Shut up, Val. Wait...

Shut up!

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say

can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

Did you know that
gambling was going on here?

No.

Donna, I'm serious, no.

Oh, man.

Hey, Kel.

What's going on?

You did feel
something, didn't you?

Being in my bed,
making love to me.

It was good, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

Emma, you're beautiful,
and you're smart.

When she played me that tape,

I-I thought

it was edited together somehow

to make you sound
like a monster.

It's only listening to it now...

that I realized that's
exactly what you are.

Kel, I'll do whatever
it takes to fix this.

How?

Tell me it didn't mean anything?

It didn't.

You don't care about her?

I don't.

I'm the one you love, right?

You are.

Only makes it worse, Brandon.

No, you just stay
right there, okay?

I'm moving back to Donna's.

I don't want you to call me.

I don't want you to come over.

Are we clear?

Kel...

Are we clear?!

Yeah, we're clear.

Good.
