Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 30 - The Fundamental Things Apply - full transcript

Hey.

Hey. These are great.

Thank you.

People must be
beating down your door.

More like a polite knocking.

The way you let
me hang out here,

I can't thank you enough.

The truth?

I guess I kinda did it to
keep you away from Noah.

I know.

And I was upset at first.



But now that we've
gotten to know each other,

I'm glad you did.

Yeah, so am I.

So I'm channel surfing, right?

I get to this fashion channel.

Beautiful women,

great clothes...

More beautiful women.

Yeah, all I could
do is think of you.

Ha!

Did you know that
your left eye twitches

ever so slightly when you lie?

Hey, what's up?

Donna's planning a fashion show.



I am?

That's a great idea.

Why didn't you say anything?

Oh... no reason.

Let's see, no clothes to show,

no place to show 'em,

no buyers to buy 'em.

You've got a great line.

I've already cleared
a night at the club.

Really?

Hmm, well, um... Chrissa
Sadd is doing a fashion issue

for the Tribune this summer.

Editorial coverage
would be great... yes!

Let's put her on the call list.

Okay, wait... We
need lighting people,

we need music people, models...

You should model.

Hmm? You're beautiful enough,

and who better to
wear your creations.

Don't you think?

I think she'd be great.

The lights, the stage,
people staring at me.

No, I don't think so.

Chrissa Sadd would
definitely cover it.

Donna Martin,
designer and model.

It's a great idea.

Thank you.

Hi, guys,

no, no.

Okay, but if we're gonna
do this, let's get to work.

Let's go.

Please, I have an emergency!

I have to go.

Barbara, can you come out here?

Yes. Okay, what happened?

This woman called my cab to
take her to hospital to have a baby,

but traffic is bad,
so I delivered.

I'll get the wheelchair.

Where is she?

You should have
waited for a gurney!

Is my baby okay?

He seems fine. Let's get
him into a examining room.

The first clinic I
saw was this one.

Do you have first aid training?

I was a doctor in Sarajevo.

And now you're driving a cab?

There, doctor. Here, cab driver.

Here, let's go check
on your patient.

Hey.

Hey. I didn't expect you.

I kinda let myself in.

I thought after your
day in court, um...

How'd it go?

I pled no contest and
got a year's probation.

Seems a like lot for...

What do they call it...

An accidental
discharge of a firearm?

You know, Gwynneth did get shot.

I-I came over here 'cause I,
I wanted to ask you a favor.

Well, I hope it's
not really a favor.

Oh, damn it...

What?

You know the jingle I did
for Sturla's Men's Store?

Look at this, a check
for $2,000 bounced.

Well, I'm sure it's
a mistake, David.

I mean, it's a big store.

This is exactly what I needed.

I'm sorry. What,
what was the favor?

Well, Brandon and-and Kelly
are, uh, are getting married.

Yeah, I know.

And I'm gonna
need a place to live.

Yeah? I was thinking,

well, maybe I
could move in here.

You don't think
that's a good idea.

I don't know, Val.

You know, you've been
in such a dark place lately.

I mean, last week with
the whole bone marrow guy.

Where did that come from?

We've been having
problems, am I right?

If you say so.

Maybe I just haven't
been thinking clearly.

Well, you shouldn't
have had to think at all.

Passamo dinnerware
or Portuguese cookware?

What do you think?

I think some people say
that marriage is boring.

With the Portuguese cookware
you get a free pasta rake.

Now, that to me just
screams excitement. Ooh.

Why don't you come
play some golf with us?

You know that's
right here on my list,

right under picking a china
pattern and right above

where to seat the in-laws.
Wait a minute, did you say "us"?

Me and Sarah. It was her idea.

Five hours of togetherness.

That's quite a
commitment from you.

While you go pick out
your china patterns,

I'm gonna go play the back nine.

Mm-hmm. Let me see this.

Oh, Brandon's honey-do
list: "Number 1: Set a date."

It's important.

"Number 4: Church
or house?" Right.

"Number 13: Nuts or mints?"

Someone might be allergic.

I'm feeling a hive
brewing right now.

Really?

"Number 20:" What's this?

"Ask Steve to be best man"?

Well, you are above
chicken or fish.

So, would you?

Hell, yeah.

All right! Ah!

Look, Mom, I'm sorry if
your cousin Joe is offended

that we didn't invite
his second wife,

but for some reason I thought

his third wife wouldn't approve.

All right. Bye.

You're not.

I thought this
wedding was for us.

Live and learn.

Okay, you gotta tell me,
do you hate this sketch?

I love it. Look at it.

It's stunning. Really?

Because even though this
wedding may be for everyone else,

the wedding dress is for you.

No, I love it. Thank you.

Thanks for letting me do it.

Okay, can you just
do me another favor

and let's talk about something
other than my wedding?

Yeah, pretty
overwhelming, right?

How's your fashion show going?

Um, it's coming along.

Gwynneth and Noah
have been very helpful.

Oh. And you're okay with
the two of them spending

so much time together?

You have been out of the loop.

She and I... we get along great.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for the
Peach Pit After Dark.

And you would be...?

There's a fashion show
shooting there in a couple of days.

I'm shooting it.

It's next door.

Thanks.

So, word is that the club's
hosting a fashion show.

I didn't know we
put on charity events.

Look if it's not
too much trouble,

could you have David call
me? I want him to deejay.

If I see him. I've
been really busy lately

now that you and Brandon
are about to make me homeless.

Oh, I just assumed

that you and David would
be moving in together.

We haven't talked about it yet.

Haven't talked about it
or he hasn't agreed to it?

You know, if I haven't
already told you, Kelly,

I wish you and Brandon
many weeks of happiness.

Thank you.

Am I late?

No, I, uh, just came
out early to practice.

Wow. Can you hit those for me?

Trouble with your short
game? I'm surprised.

Truth is I can line 'em
up with the best of 'em.

Ah.

Drive for show, putt for dough.

You really can play.

Yeah, my, uh,

husband taught me.

Husband?

Husband, husband?

Yeah.

Separated... husband.

That's my favorite
kind of husband.

All I'm saying is

that at 50 bucks a head,

we should really think twice
about inviting his second

and his third wife, not
to mention his first wife.

Agreed, agreed. But if
we get a lot of add-ons,

we can just serve
chicken instead of fish,

and then it'll only
be 45 a head.

No, no, no, we want the fish.

Brandon... Okay,
we'll take the chicken.

Alex, hi! Remember me?

The lady from the clinic.

Right.

How is the baby?

Oh, he's fine, he's fine.

The mother actually named
him "Alex" in your honor.

This is Brandon
Walsh. He's a writer.

He's interested in your story.

Hi.

Hi.

Kelly tells me you're a doctor.

Uh, I have a candidate's
degree in medicine,

which is the same like MD here,

yes.

I was halfway

through my internship
when I was wounded.

And where was that?

It was in Sarajevo
almost three years ago.

They were shelling
our hospital and

I was hurt, so was
Katya, my wife.

She was a doctor, too.

They didn't think
I'd live, but...

How did you end up
here in the States?

I was flown in for a
medical treatment.

I became legal refugee.

Why are you driving a cab
and not practicing medicine?

I'm not certified to
practice medicine

in this country.

Can't you get certified?

Aren't there tests you can take?

Is there,

is there a language barrier?

Yes, yes, it's a
language barrier.

Excuse me.

I have to check out.

His English sounds
pretty good to me.

Yeah, that's odd.

But it couldn't have bounced.

Well, it did.

Look, what are you
going to do about this?

I'm going to fix the problem.

Wonderful.

Thank you. I'll wait right here.

Well, I'm not going
to fix the problem,

but I'm going to talk
to the guy who is.

Excuse me, you're the one who
contracted me to do this jingle.

I'm in P.R.

Someone else handles finances.

Well, who is that someone else?

Gil Gessler.

Hi, it's Mia.

Is Gil around?

Okay, well, have him give me
a call when he gets a chance.

Thanks.

Oh, let me guess:
he wasn't there.

I'm going to
straighten this out.

I hope so.

Or you'll be hearing
from my attorney.

Thanks.

Hey, uh, the lighting
guy's about ready to leave.

He said something
about a quick rehearsal

while he's still here.

Says it will save
us time tomorrow.

Sure, yeah, tell
him to go ahead.

You sure? Mm-hmm.

Okay, then, you're up.

No, no.

I, uh, I can't.

You, uh, you got it. You do it.

I've got to give the
guy the right cues.

Listen,

the only people here
are the workmen.

You can do this.

Wait... eh... uh...

Ooh, uh-uh.

Hey, Val...

No.

Great. Great.

Shoot.

This place is great.

Just like you.

Thanks, but I thought

Donna had stage fright.

She insisted.

Man, she is beautiful though,

isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

When she puts her
mind to something,

she does whatever
it takes, you know?

So, um, it's a one bedroom.

But utilities aren't included.

Okay. Thanks.

Any luck?

I'll-I'll find something.

Look, Val, about last night...

David, I overstepped.

No, it, it was my fault.

I wasn't clear.

I shouldn't have asked you.

I know that now.

I'll-I'll deal with this.

We need to talk.

I'm not going to
like this, am I?

No.

The thing is,

you want to pretend like
everything between us is great.

And all you do is
dwell on the bad stuff.

I'm just following your lead.

David, I'm drowning.

Okay?

I mean, you're in a lifeboat,

and you won't even
reach out to me.

And I feel like...

I'm reaching out, Val, and
you won't take my hand.

I'm taking it now.

But now is too late.

So you're just going
to let me drown?

I'm letting you go.

It's the same difference.

Your brother's wife's sister?

Cha-ching, cha-ching.

So she's in town for
the day of the wedding.

Let her see a movie.

Fine.

Have you ever even met

your mother's
brother's wife's sister?

Of course I have.

Once. Mm-hmm.

I don't know whose life is
more bizarre, ours or Alex's.

Did he say what
happened to his wife?

She's no longer living
where they used to live,

and she's not registered
with any refugee organizations,

so he, of course, is
assuming the worst.

But he's not sure.

Purgatory.

The worst.

Hello, hello,

hello, hello.

Say, hypothetically,
you're playing golf

with a beautiful girl.

Hypothetically, you're
playing golf with a beautiful girl.

She's beautiful, she's into you,

and she's good enough
to play from a man's tees.

Oh, we could have
a double wedding.

Ooh.

Hypothetically,
that's not possible,

because she's tied the knot
already with someone else.

She just hasn't untied it yet.

Would you keep seeing
her? Hypothetically?

Of course. Do you
want to keep seeing her?

Yes, very much.

Well, then there's your answer.

You agree?
Marriage is a big deal.

I'd be very, very careful.

It takes a long
time to get over it.

Hmm.

I wasn't kidding
about the lawyer.

I talked to Gil.

He promised me he'd handle it.

Well, he hasn't.

He's a busy man.

That's no excuse.

I'm not saying it is, but...

Is he really not there?

I'm on your side.

I know. I...

Look, just make sure
he deals with it, okay?

Hey.

Came by to get some of my stuff

and to give you this.

Keep it.

In case you need
a place to crash.

I'd rather sleep in
the gutter, David.

I'm trying here, Val.

To be what, David?

Huh?

The nice guy?

You want a gold
medal or something?

Get it from your next
girlfriend. I'm not the one

who messed this up. Right,
you already told me that.

I was the one who was raped
and reminded of my father's abuse,

but I'm the villain
here. It didn't work, Val.

Can't we just leave it at that?

Sure, David.

Whatever you say.

Okay.

Oh, cut flowers.

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, I'm in for a dime,
you know what I'm saying?

All right.

Wedding plans.

Anyway, I talked to Mr. Lissov

at the Fairfax Refugee Center.

I know Mr. Lissov.

He helped me look for my wife.

Right.

Anyway, he said that
several physicians

come here every year
and need to be recertified.

He also said that your
English was good enough.

Now, if you start right
away, in three years...

I lost my wife in the shelling
when I was wounded.

When I recovered, I
was in different country,

speaking very little English.

I'm not looking for help.

Thank you, but...

but without Katya, being
a doctor, it's nothing.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Thanks.

Sure. Okay, um,

which came first, the
chili fries or the napkins?

I don't know.

My friends Kelly and
Brandon just got engaged.

I saw the bridal
registry; there's, like,

three pages of napkins
alone to choose from.

Well, if they think
the wedding is hard,

wait till they get
to the marriage.

Sarah, if you don't
mind me asking,

what happened to yours?

He cheated on me.

A buddy of mine
cheated on his girlfriend.

It took a while, but
she forgave him.

Yeah, well, um,
I couldn't do that.

I guess in a selfish way,
I'm kind of glad about that.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Hey.

Gwynneth, how you feeling?

Well, the doctor says
I should be sling-free

by the end of the week.

I'm okay.

I'm glad.

Um, can I talk to you
guys for a second?

Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry.

No, that's okay.

See you inside, okay? Yeah.

Look, uh, I know
Valerie's inside,

but I really don't feel like
dealing with her right now.

Did you guys get in
a fight or something?

No, we broke up.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm-I'm fine.

I just... um, I'm
not so sure about

doing the music for your show.

You said you broke up.

You didn't go to war, right?

Try telling that to Valerie.

Oh... I know it's difficult,

but will you at
least think about it?

Yeah.

Thanks. Mm-hmm.

Look, David, if what
happened between me and Val

messed up a good
thing, I'm sorry.

I appreciate that.

But, uh, it was a
lot of other things.

Valerie, right?

I'm Johnny.

You know, when I
saw you the other day,

I thought you were
one of the models.

Save it, Johnny, okay?

Ten seconds...

That's got to be a
new world's record.

Look, I'm not in the mood.

I got a lot of work to do.

I'm going to put
these in the office.

I'll meet you. Okay.

Um, you got a minute?

Yeah, what's up, Gwynneth?

Oh, uh, nothing.

Other than I'm in love with
Noah and he's in love with Donna.

Oh.

And you want to do
something about it, huh?

Okay, well, think about it.

Um, tomorrow night is

one of the biggest
nights in Donna's career.

Everybody here, they're
all gonna be here for her.

Give her a reason to meltdown.

I don't mind watching, but
what will that accomplish?

Well, we always
hurt the one we love.

See that bottle of
wine over there?

If you're not careful,
you could stain your outfit.

Hey, Gwynn, it's Donna.

I never got through
to Chrissa Sadd,

so I left her number
on the fridge.

If you could just call
her and invite her.

Really appreciate
it. Thanks, bye.

Messages deleted.

Do you need a hand?
I'll grab some jeans.

No, it's okay. You
should take it easy.

I took a bath.

I thought it might
help me sleep.

Arm's keeping you up, huh?

A little.

Look, I'm gonna hang these up.

Donna's not using
those for the show?

She doesn't think they'll work.

She's kind of a
perfectionist, you know?

She, uh, told me
about her car accident.

Trying to stay on
top of things at work...

The pills, the overdose.

She faced a very
tough situation, yes.

This show, it's
so hectic for her.

I hope there's not a relapse.

Hey.

Gwynn, how are you feeling?

Fine.

What can I do to help?

Did you get my message?

About Chrissa
Sadd? I already called.

Unfortunately,
she can't make it.

So, you talked to her.

A little while ago.

Well, it's her loss.

You know, we move on.

Can I call anybody else?

She's, uh, the only one
who hadn't responded.

The one I needed the most.

I told you,

I have contacted the Red Cross

and the immigration services.

And we contacted
the State Department,

the INS and refugee
processing centers.

All of which deal with
sponsored, legal refugees.

But if Katya came
here illegally...

She may not want to be found.

So, we gotta check
with other places.

Churches, human
rights organizations.

Places that would
give her shelter.

And we're gonna need
your help to do that.

I cannot help you.

If she is here illegally,

maybe she's going
under a different name.

What's her maiden name?

Did she have a favorite
aunt, a cousin, grandparent?

I cannot help you
because she's dead.

You don't know that.

I do! How?

Because I'm listed with
refugee organizations,

churches, immigration groups.

In other words,
you're easy to find.

And if she was alive,

she would have found me.

A number three, on your account.

My growing account. Thanks, Nat.

Hey, money comes, money goes.

It's the way of the
world, my friend.

Do me a favor, turn that up?

Sure.

♪ ...only you can use ♪

♪ Just like a man, get
everything you can ♪

♪ At Sturla's! ♪
I knew it.

That's the jingle
I did for Sturla's.

The store that ripped you off?

I can't believe...

They use my jingle and
don't even pay me for it?

Uh-uh, no way.

Mm-mm.

Who you calling?

Radio station.

See if I can't cost
Sturla's a few customers.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just,
I'm just really tired.

I haven't slept in
the last couple nights.

Yeah, I know.

David told me you guys broke up.

Boy, he couldn't
wait to tell, could he?

Is this because
of what happened?

Look, don't flatter
yourself, okay?

It was just that
David got scared.

God, am I that terrifying?

You want an honest answer?

Look, I know why we broke up.

But I've changed.

I mean, don't you see it?

He loves me and I'm different.

I'm a good person now.

You've gotta talk to him the way

you're talking to me right now.

Ugh... I can't.

I gotta tell you,
he's doing the music.

If that makes you feel weird...

I can deal.

So you're coming?
I wouldn't miss it.

All right.

I'll see you, okay?

What do you mean,
not appropriate?

No, just put me
on the air, okay?

I know Sturla's

sponsors the show,
that's the point.

No, no, I don't want to write a
letter to the general manager.

Just put me...

Hello?

Hello?

The screener hung up on me.

Can't have you bite
the hand that feeds him.

"Sponsors the show."
Can you believe that, Nat?

"Sponsors the show"?!

Hey, you're angry about
what happened with Val.

Don't let that make you
angry at everyone else.

No, you know what,

I couldn't do anything
about Valerie,

but this, this I can
do something about.

♪ ♪

I just heard two people say
they want to meet the designer.

Well, if it all works out,

maybe I should change my
name to something a little flashier

like Donna De La
Martin, or Donnatella.

Give it that common
touch. I like it.

It is going great, isn't it?

I never had a doubt.

Donna, I am so sorry.

Oh, my God, the wedding
dress. What happened?

One of the models
went to put it on

and saw that it was stained.

I tried finding
something off the rack

for her to wear,

but everything's stained.

Wait, so this is it?

This is all that's left?

We've got clothes in the office.

They're all samples,

they haven't been
fitted on the models!

I knew I shouldn't have
done this fashion show.

I knew I wasn't
ready. Relax, okay?

Your line looks
great. Noah, stop it!

You're pushing too hard!

I'm just trying to help you.

We all are.

Church groups?

Nothing so far.

Human rights groups? Nada.

Nothing on the internet.

Nothing using her maiden name.

Nothing.

We never should have
gotten his hopes up.

Well, we'll just start
again tomorrow.

All right, thanks,
Janet. Bye, guys.

Bye, thanks. Hi, Janet.

Sarah, I know
you've met Brandon.

But, uh, this is
Kelly, Kelly, Sarah.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Good to meet you.

I've been hearing all
about your wedding plans.

The horror.

It reminds me of my wedding.

So, uh... So, uh,

I read your article
on that doctor.

It was so romantic.

I mean, it sounds like

he really believes
there's one person

out there he's meant to be with.

Amen for that.

Do you believe that?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, well, I did once.

But you're not so sure now?

Well, it's a hard
thing to give up on.

I mean, that connection.
That moment.

That moment?

When you know it's real.

You know, the moment
you want to live in forever.

If you're

lucky enough to find it.

You're incredible.

We have, uh,
dinner reservations.

Good night. Good night.

Bye, guys.

I remember our moment.

And when was that?

When I found out you'd
kept that ring all that time.

Well, I couldn't forget you.

You know, I remember Alex

telling me about his
moment with Katya.

Yeah?

I think I may have an idea.

Why would someone do this?

Look, I know you're upset,

but it might have
been an accident.

Donna, no one was backstage
that wasn't supposed to be.

Anybody could've
spilled the wine.

Thanks, that's helpful.

What happened?

The show ended so abruptly?

Nice, Val.

What?

She's upset, Val; her
whole show was ruined.

Poor thing.

Why doesn't your
attitude surprise me?

The perk of thinking the
worst in people, David.

You know, just
'cause you're miserable

doesn't mean everyone
else has to be, too.

You're right.

You're protecting Donna.

Funny, that doesn't
surprise me either.

I don't even know why I try.

You call that trying?

Forget it.

Long night?

Long life.

Want to talk about it?

Okay, so, you buy me dinner...

Yeah.

Walk me to my door...

Is this what
dating's like again?

Well, the bad ones usually
end right after dessert.

Ah, it's all coming
back to me now.

I think this is the part

where I'm supposed
to invite you in.

That would be nice.

But I'm married.

Separated.

Steve, I haven't been
with another man in...

Well, it's been a while.

I can't believe this...

This is all so soon.

One minute I'm separated,

the next I meet this great guy.

This guy I sort of even
want to invite inside.

What's stopping you?

Looks like closing time.

Yeah... Yeah, I guess it is.

Too bad.

I like talking to you, Valerie.

I think you're a great girl.

You do?

You want to get out of here?

Yeah. How far is your place?

We could walk.

Lead the way.

Hey.

Oh, I'm late.

You can hang, if you want.

The door'll lock behind you.

Gee, thanks.

We said no big deals, right?

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

Cool.

So, uh...

I'll see you around.

See you around.

Oh, my God.

Alex, you got a minute?

I know you want to help, but
there is nothing you can do.

I'm not so sure about that.

Take a look in
the dispatch office.

Katya!

Katya!

Hello, Alex.

Wh-When? Where?

At the ballet where
you fell in love.

I was told that you were dead.

There was nothing for
me left at home, so I...

I came to America.

But... but I don't
understand this miracle.

When we did your story,
you told me about the night

that the two of you went to see the
city ballet when they toured Europe.

Such a night.

And how Katya
lived for the ballet.

So we called ballet companies

in cities with large
Bosnian communities.

I was with a group in Chicago.

During the day, I
clean costumes,

but at night, I go backstage

and I watch the dancers
and I think of you.

They are getting married!

Congratulations!

We had such a wonderful wedding.

A loaf of bread,
a bottle of wine.

It was so simple

and lovely.

Send your mother my regards.

A loaf of bread

and a bottle of wine, huh?

How can we ever... thank you?

Believe it or not, you just did.

Hey.

I got your call.
Is he still here?

A couple of salespeople
called in sick.

He's, uh, over there.

Want me to introduce you?

No. No, thanks,
you've done enough.

Can I help you?

Uh, yeah, actually,
a friend of mine

is getting married in a
couple of weeks, and...

well, I just broke up
with my girlfriend, so...

I kind of need a new look.

Well, you've come
to the right place.

Great. How much are
you looking to spend?

You know, money's
really no object.

I should have
never listened to you.

Uh, wh-what are you
talking about? You know

what I'm talking about.

I ruined everything.

Well, wasn't that the point?

Look, we all make
choices, Gwynneth.

You have to learn
to live with them.

Well, I hate myself
for what I did.

Well, then you should
have thought of that before.

So you poured the
wine on the dresses.

Well... now you know.

In a way, I'm glad.

Yeah? How's that?

Last week, when we kissed,
it meant something to me.

That should've never happened.

I mean, when I saw
you in that magazine,

it said "eligible bachelor,"

and I thought, well... now...

now maybe the
timing's right, you know?

I wasn't expecting Donna.

Look, you did a bad thing here.

I know that, and if I could
make up for that, I would.

Well, you can't.

Now, you're just gonna
have to live with that.

Look, you're a friend of mine.

I'm not gonna turn
my back on you.

But I'm with Donna.
Maybe it's time

for me to go home.

Yeah... I think maybe it is.

It comes to $1,958.50.

No problem.

And how did you
want to pay for this?

With a check. Ah.

Ah... sorry.

Mm-hmm. Here we go.

Is this some kind of joke?

Well, you tell me.

You're the one
whose check bounced.

I could, uh, call security.

Well, I could call the police.

I did the work...
One way or the other

I'm gonna get paid for it.

Enjoy the clothes.

Thanks.

Bye-bye.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I wanted to bring you something.

It's, uh... Chai tea.

Oh.

Oh, smells interesting.

Whatever happened
to coffee, though?

Well, I stopped drinking coffee

when my husband
and I split up, so...

I started drinking this.

You know, you keep
calling him your husband,

and it makes me a little...

Doesn't he have a name?

Matt.

Well, Matthew.

I call him Matt.

Uh...

he left me a message last night.

He wants us to go to
couples counseling, and, uh...

I've agreed to go.

We start this afternoon.

This afternoon?

Well.

Look, I-I just want to be
honest with you, Steve.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate your honesty.

Let me see if I
can figure this out.

I am now dating a woman

who is in marriage
counseling with her husband.

Oh, boy.

Do you think that we
can still see each other?

You're asking me?

Well, I-I've never
done this before.

I'm not exactly sure
of the rules, you know?

But I do know that I
enjoy your company,

and I would like for us
to still see each other.

I would like that, too.

So, uh... how do
you like the tea?

It's a little different.

But...

I think I can get used to it.

You were right.

About what?

Your show was sabotaged.

Gwynneth did it; she
told me everything.

How could she?

She was being so helpful.

Look, for what it's worth,
she knows she did wrong.

It's worth nothing.

I don't think so.

Don't defend her,
not after what she did.

Look, I told her to go.

We'll fix it. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure we can.

The point is, she still did it.

The point is, she's my friend,

and she's a little
mixed up right now.

Yeah.

I think I need to
be alone right now.

We had unprotected sex, then...

I found hypodermic
needles and-and hoses and...

Listen, you're a hotline...

Why can't you just
answer my questions?

I want to know the risks...

No, I-I don't know if
he shares needles.

His HIV status?
