Brandon, it's not too late. You've still got a week to go.

I told you a month ago I don't want to do it.

Alfred B Cook guarantees to raise your score 200 points.

That's 200 points or your money back.

That could mean the difference between Princeton and Pacoima.

You can't study for the SATs.

I've been studying for weeks.

You've been had.

Brandon, just look at this.

They offer an accelerator crash course.

I'm only thinking of you. You know what they say,

"Alfred B Cook, or you be fried."

It's $500.

- So? - Forget it.

You can't make up for 16 years of ignorance

in one week.

True.

But it's incredible what you can do in a month.

[cheering music playing]

[students talking]

I've wondered who's been masticating

all the pencils around here.

Masticating? Why did you use that word?

Because every time I turn around I grab a new pencil,

it's like, teeth marks.

You could have said chewed.

"Masticating" is the kind of word for the SAT.

The kind of word you learn in an expensive SAT prep course.

Like Alfred B. Cook?

I knew you were taking a prep course!

Let me tell you something, okay?

That puts you in an unfair advantage

over those who cannot afford those courses!

Whoa. Hold your fire, Andrea.

First of all, Steve is going to take it.

And second of all, I don't think they work.

The SATs test you on stuff you already know,

you can't cram for them.

And then again, maybe you can.

Maybe there is some kind of system.

I'm so bad at standardized testing!

Colleges treat them like gospel! I don't know what to do.

Andrea, get a grip!

We're talking about a test you can retake if you want to.

A test...

To determine if I go to Princeton

or Pacoima.

Have you been talking to Steve?

I ran into him at my locker.

I figured that.

[cheering music playing]

"Apotheosis."

It's like, the best.

Mm-hmm. Very good.

"An exalted or glorified ideal."

Sort of like Patrick Swayze is the apotheosis of adorable.

If they put these words in sentences we could relate to,

this test would be a breeze.

Don't count on it.

I'm not counting on anything.

The SATs test your entire brain.

"Autodidactic."

Isn't that something Madonna did in her last video?

I don't think so.

Does it have something to do with cars?

It means a person who is self-taught,

like us.

What's the difference between malignant and benign?

Benign is like harmless, isn't it?

I think so.

So malignant's bad

like a malignant tumor's the bad kind, right?

Yeah.

Kelly, what are you reading?

It's a test for breast cancer,

"Checking yourself for lumps."

Kelly, that's what my mom does.

We don't have to worry about that stuff at our age.

- Thank God. - I know.

But it says it's never too early to start the habit.

"One out of nine American women will get breast cancer.

And out of those, 1/4 will die."

How awful.

My aunt died of cancer.

[suspense music playing]

Oh, Brenda. I'm sorry.

When?

Two years ago.

It was my mom's younger sister...

my favorite aunt.

It first started in her breast,

and she had to get a mastectomy.

They thought it was over,

but six months later, it came back.

Entered through her lymph system or something.

She died on her birthday.

How old was she?

Thirty-five.

[paper screwing]

Kelly, what are you doing?

Taking this test.

Now?

Yes.

Which can be more important?

The SATs won't save your life.

[paper screwing]

[Kelly] OK.

All clear?

All clear.

OK. Let's check the left breast.

Yes, Dr. Taylor.

"Now, with your hand held flat,

press gently with circular motions

to feel the inner upper quarter of your left breast,

starting at the breastbone and moving to the nipple."

Brenda, you should tell Dylan to do this.

Kelly, this is supposed to be serious.

[Kelly laughs]

OK. "Bring your left arm down

and press under your armpit."

Aren't you glad you used dial?

Donna!

- [laughs] - [Donna] Sorry.

"Feel the lower outer portion of your breast,

going from the outer part to the nipple."

All clear?

Yes.

[mysterious music playing]

All clear.

[mysterious music playing]

[water running]

[suspense music playing]

- [Brandon] Brenda, dinner! - Alright, I'm coming!

[Brandon] Time to go out. Think about the water shortage.

[water running]

Brenda, dinner!

That's the last time I'm calling her.

I hope it's not one of those diets.

She's probably just recovering

from the study at Kelly's this afternoon.

Kelly studies? I can't picture it.

For the SATs, on Saturday.

They're making everybody crazy.

You know what the worst part about the test is?

What?

The months of waiting afterwards

for your results to show up in the mail.

This little envelope,

that holds the keys to your future.

Brandon, it's not life or death.

What's not life or death?

Nice of you to make an appearance.

[father] Hi.

The SATs.

I am so sick of hearing about those things.

"Expect the worst. Hope for the best."

That's an awful cheery outlook.

I'd rather be surprised than disappointed.

Don't worry about it, you'll do fine.

How do you know that, Brandon?

Maybe I won't. Maybe you won't!

[Jim] Hey, easy.

It's not that big of a deal.

I'm sorry.

All this stuff with the SATs

has got me going nuts.

It's what I have been telling you about,

it's starting to be like mass hysteria.

It's not worth it.

Definitely not.

[Brenda sighs]

[door knocking]

Mom, can I talk to you for a second in my room?

Sure, honey.

Is everything all right?

Yes, I just need to talk to mom.

So we were all at Kelly's studying for the SATs,

and she was reading this magazine

that had this thing about...

You know, where you check your breasts for lumps.

Mm-hmm.

So we all decided to do it.

I don't know why, I guess we were bored.

Honey, that's not something you have to worry as a teenager.

It said even young girls should get into the habit.

So I did the test,

and I thought that I felt something.

Where?

Here.

Let me feel it.

I'm sure it's nothing.

I'm sure it's nothing, too.

Do you feel it?

I feel something.

Does it hurt?

No.

I mean...

I didn't really feel it until realize it was there,

until we did this.

Don't tell dad.

Why?

I don't know. I'm embarrassed.

Honey,

there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Tomorrow we'll go see a doctor, and we'll have this checked out.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Is that what aunt Sheila thought?

When she found a lump on her breast,

did she think it was nothing, too?

Honey, it's not the same thing.

When you're older, it's different.

I know. It just freaked me out.

Oh. I'm sure it did, sweetheart.

[Brenda sighs]

But it'll be fine. You'll see.

There's an explanation for this,

and tomorrow morning we'll get it.

OK.

Get a good night's sleep.

I will.

Good night, mom.

Good night, honey.

[suspense music playing]

[soft music playing]

I can't believe we've been here for six months,

and we still don't have a family physician

like Dr. Kalmen.

I was tempted to fly Brenda back

to Minneapolis to see him!

I'll ask around at work. I'll find somebody good.

- Somebody great. - Yes.

- I want it for today. - It's my priority.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Of course it's nothing.

It brings back so much about Sheila.

She never had a good doctor.

That was her problem from the start.

A good specialist would have caught it earlier

and would have done the proper surgery,

but when the time came...

I still think the chemo was a mistake.

It wore her down. I think it made her worse.

Cindy, whatever is wrong with Brenda

has nothing to do with Sheila.

- I hope you're right. - Of course I am.

- Hi, honey. - Hi, Brenda.

You told him, didn't you?

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Dad, I know that.

I didn't want you get upset over nothing.

I'm not upset.

Well, why not?

Because it could be a million things.

Like what?

[Jim sighs]

I don't know. Maybe it's...

Well, an ingrown hair.

An ingrown hair on my left breast?

I sincerely hope not.

Mom, this is why I didn't want you to tell him.

This is kind of an explanation Brandon would come up with.

What is?

- Nothing. - Nothing.

Uh-huh.

[soft music playing]

[students talking]

The outer ear collects sound waves

and directs them to the eardrum.

Its vibrations are transferred by three small bones

to the snail-like cochlea,

which is divided into two cavities

by the basilar membrane,

which runs into a complex structure...

the organ of Corti.

[door knocking]

Excuse me.

[steps approaching]

[students whispering]

[door opens]

Shoot me before I die of boredom.

[girls laughing]

Shoot me before I die of embarrassment.

What is your mom doing here?

I'll tell you later.

I thought we were meeting after school.

I was, but I got an appointment with a doctor

who was recommended by one of your father's clients.

She was booked for the day,

but she could see you before two.

She?

Yes, she.

Hello. I'm Dr. Donner.

Cindy Walsh. This is my daughter Brenda.

- Hi. - Hi.

What seems to be the problem, Brenda?

Well, as I said over the phone,

Brenda discovered a lump or bump on her breast the other day.

- Left or right? - Left.

So I was concerned that she have it checked out.

I see.

In the majority of cases involving women of your age,

it's nothing to be worried about,

but we'll see.

I see there's a maternal history of cancer in the family.

Yes, that's right. My grandmother and my sister.

And when did your sister die?

Two years ago.

I'm sorry.

Younger or older?

Younger. By five years.

She died very young.

So tell me Brenda, how did you detect this lump?

With some friends.

We read an article on how to test yourself.

That's commendable.

I wish more women would do that.

Had you noticed a breast mass before?

No.

Well, actually, two months ago,

I got bruised playing volleyball.

You knew about this two months ago?

I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

I didn't even connect it until now.

Quite often, that's the way women

are initially alerted to a breast mass.

They're fooled into thinking it's from some external trauma,

when in fact it's been there all along.

I see.

Mrs. Walsh, would you mind if I talked to Brenda alone?

Well, I...

[Cindy sighs] Of course not.

I'll call you back in a minute.

I'll be right outside if you need me.

[door closes]

She's a little overprotective.

Brenda, I wanted to talk to you alone

because it's important that you realize

that your relationship with me is confidential.

Nothing you say goes beyond these doors.

Not to your parents, your clergyman, no one.

What you tell me is private.

You can feel free to come see me for any reason, okay?

OK.

Why don't you lay back here?

So tell me,

where's the lump?

Right here.

OK.

We can assume it's been there for two months.

In that time, has it changed size or shape?

I don't think so. No.

Does it hurt?

Is it tender to the touch?

No.

Do you feel it?

Mm-hmm.

Is it something bad?

I doubt it.

Then why haven't you sent me home yet?

Has the lump changed size with your period?

No.

When was your last period?

A couple of days ago.

And no change?

Not that I noticed.

Come up.

Has there been discharge from the nipple

or change in the skin in the surrounding area?

Never.

Am I going to need a mammogram?

We don't usually do mammograms for women of your age.

What I am going to need to do is a needle biopsy

to test the lump.

That will tell us if it's just a cyst

or something that needs further testing.

Does a needle biopsy involves a needle?

I'm afraid so.

Do you mind if my mom comes back in the room?

Not at all.

[Brenda laughs]

Hey, you guys!

Steve, Brandon, wait up!

Hey, Andrea.

How are you doing?

So where are you going?

I got to get out of here, I'm late for work.

I'm going to Alfred B. Cook.

Really? Right now?

Yeah. You know what they say,

"Alfred B. Cook, or you be fried."

Tell me, do they give you any pointers

on how to improve your test-taking skills?

It's an integral part of the course.

"Integral." You know, it's going to be on the test.

You can trust me on that one.

Never. I got to leave. See you later.

Bye, buddy.

Steve! Hey!

What, Andrea?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to claw you.

I'm in a desperate situation.

What's the matter?

The SATs are on Saturday.

Yeah, so what?

I was wondering if I could...

What?

Come over your house and study with you after class?

Are you asking me for a date?

No, what I'm asking you is the Alfred B. Cook advantage.

Notes, drills, practice tests,

secret documents, whatever you have.

You know where I live?

No. Can you write your address and phone number?

Say, eight o'clock?

Yes, it's fine.

You know, we have a reputation to uphold.

Did you know that West Beverly and Beverly Hills High

have some of the highest SAT averages in California?

How illuminating.

[Andrea and Steve laugh]

Don't forget, take good notes!

I've just got to tell you that I really hate needles.

I promise, with Xylocaine, you won't feel it.

That's what they all say.

Squeeze my hand if it hurts.

You're lucky I don't have nails.

What I'm going to do is insert the needle

and try to withdraw fluid from the lump.

If there's any fluid, we'll know what you have is a cyst.

And there would be no need to worry.

I know this is for a good cause.

[Brenda sighs]

[Brenda sighs]

Ouch!

I haven't done anything yet.

Well, tell me when.

Not yet.

[suspense music playing]

Are you going to do it yet?

I did it.

You're kidding.

That was nothing.

What does that tell you?

That what's in your breast is solid,

it's not a cyst.

And to know more,

we have to conduct a biopsy.

Oh, my God.

Why? What does that mean? What's wrong?

Probably nothing.

I don't understand, Brenda's only 16.

What are the chances

that this could be cancerous?

Very slim.

Brenda, would you excuse us?

I want to talk to Dr. Donner in the hallway.

- Mom! - Honey.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Walsh.

I can't discuss anything without her present.

I like to be upfront with my patients

and give the worst-case scenario.

"Hope for the best. Expect the worst."

On the upside, 81% of these cases

are either fibroadenomas or benign tumors.

And the other 19%?

Non-cancerous lesions and sometimes cancer.

Given Brenda's young age,

I rate that highly unlikely,

but given your maternal family history of cancer,

nothing can be ruled out until we conduct a biopsy.

[suspense music playing]

Saturday would be the soonest I can schedule something.

That's my SATs.

Can't you make them up?

I guess so.

[suspense music playing]

Mom, don't worry.

I'm going to be fine.

I know you will, honey.

I know you'll be just fine.

[suspense music playing]

Just how it started with my sister.

Sheila was a lot older than Brenda.

You heard the doctor, age is an important factor.

So is family history.

God. I hate slicing onions.

- I'll do it. - No, I'm doing it.

I just can't believe it.

She's so young.

[Jim sighs]

It doesn't seem possible.

[Jim sighs]

I just can't conceive of anything happening to Brenda.

It's going to be all right.

I know it is.

I hope to God you're right.

I really wish you'd stop talking about me

behind my back.

- Brenda, we weren't. - It's these onions.

Mom, you heard the doctor.

It's probably nothing.

I'm sure it's nothing.

It's good you founded it. It's just something to examine.

So don't make more out of it than it is.

I'm not.

[door opens]

Hey, everybody.

Hey, big guy.

Brenda, I heard you left school earlier today.

It's no big deal. Just don't say anything.

Why? What is it?

I went to a doctor.

[suspense music playing]

Why? Is something wrong?

Sort of.

[suspense music playing]

I have a tumor in my breast.

[suspense music playing]

What does that mean?

Probably nothing.

They're going to do a biopsy on Saturday

to find out more.

[suspense music playing]

Is it...

It's not... I mean, do they think...

That's very unlikely, right, mom?

Highly unlikely.

Absolutely.

They're just doing it to find out more,

to make sure.

[suspense music playing]

Well, look on the bright side...

at least you get to miss the SATs.

Right now, that's the last thing on my mind.

[suspense music playing]

- You've got four choices, right? - Right.

Well, out of those four, one will be a total throwaway.

It is?

Yes. They do that to weed out the morons.

You're kidding, I could spend ten minutes

figuring out why they put it there.

Well, don't. It's just a trick.

Now you got three choices left.

Out of those three choices,

one word will often mean the total opposite,

so you can skip that one.

And of course I never do.

Okay. Now you're down to two choices.

Even if you don't know the answer,

you still have a 50-50 chance of guessing right.

[laughs] That makes it so much easier.

You can't spend too much time on one question.

You have to go to the test confident

and no hesitation.

I hope I can do it. Oh.

[hip-hop music playing]

You can do it.

You're smart already.

- That's your problem. - Why?

Because you outsmart yourself.

Yeah, I know.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so smart.

You know what?

Hmm...?

You're cute without your glasses on.

[Andrea laughs] God.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

No.

This is.

[hip-hop music playing]

I...

I've got to go.

- I... - Now?

Yeah. It's getting late.

It is?

I'm sure you helped my score 200, 300 points.

Anytime.

Did I forget anything? I...

I guess I'm off.

[hip-hop music playing]

Good-bye.

[laughs]

Aah!

Uh, yeah.

Mom won't even look at these pictures.

It's like she wants to forget her or something.

It's just hard for her, Brenda.

They were so close.

Tell me about it.

I used to wish Sheila was my mom

and mom was my aunt.

She was so much fun.

Did you ever wish that?

Not after she got sick.

Yeah. It was awful...

[suspense music playing]

With her losing her breast and then all her hair.

I couldn't imagine that ever happening to me.

It won't.

I'll protect you.

You can't.

That's the thing.

Nobody can protect you.

You want to know what I remember about Sheila

after she got sick?

What?

How lonely she was.

No matter how much love we gave her,

she kept on getting lonelier and lonelier.

After she died, it was mom who got lonely.

I know.

She must have felt relieved to move out here...

Like running away from bad memories.

She didn't get very far.

Hey.

You're going to be fine.

How do you know that, Brandon?

Because I'm older...

and wiser.

[Brenda sighs]

And just how much wisdom did you accumulate

in those momentous four minutes?

A small lifetime.

Very small.

Oh, my eye!

Oh!

My eye!

[Brenda laughs]

Oh, ho ho.

Hey, Brandon. I've been looking for you.

Hey, Chief.

Where's your lunch?

Who can think about food?

The SATs are tomorrow.

That they are.

Is...

Is Steve joining you today?

No.

Good.

There's something important I want to talk to you about.

[students talking]

There's something important I wanted to tell you.

What?

You've got to swear you won't repeat it.

Swear.

[Brandon sighs] Well...

Brenda found out yesterday

she has some sort of tumor in her breast.

What?

They'll do some sort of biopsy on it tomorrow.

Is she going to be OK?

Probably.

I wanted to tell you

because I feel like I can't really flip out at home

in front of Brenda.

When the truth is,

inside,

I'm flipping out.

I can imagine.

I mean, I know she'll be fine.

Of course she will.

I'm sure she'll be all right.

But then again,

there's always that chance...

And I can't even comprehend it.

So you've just got to wait until after tomorrow.

Don't tell her I said anything, OK?

I swear.

You know...

Brandon, you can tell me anything.

I'll always be here for you.

Thanks.

[Brandon sighs]

So what did you want to tell me?

[Andrea laughs]

Forget it.

Why didn't you say anything at my house?

Because we were all doing it as a joke.

I wasn't even sure what I felt until I got home.

So what does it feel like?

Like a hard little lump.

It's kind of deep.

I can't believe this.

I can't, either.

But it's probably nothing.

That's what they said, right?

Right.

We'll know for sure tomorrow after the biopsy.

Wow. That sounds so clinical.

I hate hospitals.

Oh. So do I.

So do I.

I sort of feel like this is all my fault.

I started this whole thing.

No, I'm glad I found it.

You are?

Wow. I hope nothing ever happens to my breasts.

Mine either.

Brenda, I just...

I don't know how you can deal with this...

All the waiting and not knowing.

I guess I don't have any choice.

[suspense music playing]

Guess who.

Dylan, that's not funny.

Dylan!

Aren't we touchy today?

- SAT pressure? - No.

Yes, it is. The whole school's on edge.

That's why I only take these once senior year.

While you will be suffering, I'll be surfing.

Dylan, I'm scared.

Hey, Brenda,

it's only a test.

I'm going to the hospital tomorrow.

I found something.

What do you mean you found something?

I didn't want to tell you, I was embarrassed.

Brenda, what is it? What did you find?

A lump in my breast.

[suspense music playing]

I'm going to be there.

Dylan,

I don't want you there.

I'm going to be there.

It's changed things, right?

No, it hasn't.

You didn't even want to touch me after I told you.

I was surprised.

I was scared.

So am I.

Brenda, I love you.

You're only saying that.

[suspense music playing]

[door closes]

[suspense music playing]

[door knocking]

Come in.

What are you doing?

Just thinking.

About what?

Oh... Life,

death,

love.

Pretty weighty subjects.

You know what I'm most scared about?

What?

The thought of losing a breast.

How could I go on a date if that happened?

Believe me, Brenda, that is not going to happen.

Is that what you told Sheila?

If Sheila had started checking herself at your age,

everything could have been fine.

Why is this happening to me?

Mom, I am so scared.

People keep telling me that everything's will be OK,

but what if it's not?

What if I go in to have my biopsy tomorrow

and they discover that things aren't OK?

We'll just cross that bridge when we come to it.

I need to make a phone call

in private.

Sure.

Come down to dinner when you're through.

OK.

[Brenda sighs]

[dials the phone]

[phone ringing]

Hi, it's Dylan. You almost got me.

Leave a message and I'll get back to you soon.

[Beep starts]

I love you, too.

[suspense music playing]

We are gathered here today

to mourn the loss of Brenda Walsh,

loving daughter

of Cindy and Jim Walsh,

and to take our SATs...

So...

You have 30 minutes.

You may open your tests.

And begin...

Now.

[paper screwing]

[suspense music playing]

Hey!

[suspense music playing]

"When I told Brenda I loved her,

I said it out of... A. Pity,

B. Lust,

C. Deceit,

or D. Heartfelt emotion."

I can't believe you have to think about this.

[suspense music playing]

"If Brenda's entire life

can be expressed as a 24-hour day,

what time will she be forgotten?"

"A. 1 a.m.,

B. 12 noon,

C. 4 p.m.,

or D. Brenda will never be forgotten."

You're going to forget me by lunchtime?

[slap]

[suspense music playing]

"The thing I want Brenda to leave me in her will is...

"A. Her red pumps,

B. Her porcelain dolls collection,

C. Her turquoise earrings,

or D. Her boyfriend."

Kelly!

[suspense music playing]

"The thing I'll miss most about Brenda is...

"A. Her sunny personality,

"B. Her sparkling intelligence,

"C. Her quick wit,

or D. Her help in the kitchen."

Mom, is that all you love me for?

Brenda, wake up.

[Brenda scares]

Oh.

Oh. I had the weirdest dream. You were all...

[Brenda laughs] Never mind.

You better get up. I let you sleep late.

We have to be at the hospital in an hour.

Okay.

[door knocking]

Hey, sleeping beauty.

[Cindy] We're late.

So am I.

- Hey. - Hi.

I just wanted to tell you everything's going to be OK.

I'll be thinking about you.

Thanks, I know it will.

What time are they going to do it?

At 10:00. It's not that big of a deal.

I know.

Good luck.

Good luck to you, too.

What the hell. It's only a test.

[Brandon laughs]

How long will it take?

About 30 minutes.

- Will there be any pain? - No.

As I've already told Brenda,

she'll be awake during the procedure.

She'll have sedation and local anesthesia.

Once the lump is removed,

we'll send it down to the lab.

I'll call you as soon as we hear anything.

How long will that take?

Two or three hours.

That's not bad.

It's all very routine.

If you excuse me, I should get started.

Thanks, doctor.

Hi, Brenda.

Hi.

Are you feeling drowsy?

I don't know, I'm too nervous.

Should we get started?

[machines beeping]

Let's do it.

We'll be through before you know it.

[machines beeping]

[students talking]

[bell ringing]

[students talking]

All right. Take your seats.

We're going to begin in two minutes.

[steps approaching]

- Wait. - Look.

About what happened the other night...

You don't have to say anything. It was just one of those things.

Yes, it was one of those things.

We don't have to tell anybody, right?

We wouldn't make a good couple.

Terrible. The worst couple...

Horrible.

If these lovebirds are through, we'd like to begin.

[steps approaching]

- Lovebirds? - Lovebirds?

[machines beeping]

Do you feel anything?

Is this going to leave scars?

No. The incision is very small.

The stitch won't even have to come out.

When I'm through, I'll apply a pressure bandage,

and that's going to prevent the blood and fluids

from collecting at the biopsy site.

You'll have to keep the tape across your chest,

and it has to stay dry.

So no showers for two days.

For two days?

I'm afraid not.

[machines beeping]

How's it going?

Very well.

I found the lump.

I'm just going to remove the whole thing.

What does it look like?

Kind of like a little piece of chewed gum.

Oh. That's disgusting.

[suspense music playing]

[Brandon sighs]

After Sheila died, I didn't think I'd go

inside another hospital for a long time.

These waiting rooms are so awful.

Only when you are waiting for bad news.

I've never had it any other way.

Well, you will this time.

I hope.

You know, Cindy,

what happened to your sister was a tragedy.

She was young, intelligent, beautiful.

She didn't deserve to die,

but you've got to stop making Brenda's biopsy

into some bad rerun of Sheila's entire illness.

It's not the same thing.

Jim,

aren't you scared?

No.

Unless I hear there's something to be scared about.

Then I'll be scared.

[Brandon] Mom, dad.

Hey, guys.

What on Earth are you doing here?

And the test?

I couldn't think with all this.

This is a deliberate plan on her part

to mess with my concentration.

Can you make it up?

Under these circumstances, absolutely.

I'm glad you're here.

So am I.

Hey, Brenda.

Brandon, what are you doing? And your SATs?

I bagged them.

I couldn't stop worrying about you.

- How did it go? - How you feel?

Fine, except for a little dizzy

because I was lying down for so long.

Dr. Donner says we can leave.

She'll call us when we're at home.

[Jim sighs]

Oh, my God!

What?

My hair is a mess!

I don't know. You look terrific.

Dylan.

I went to five hospitals.

You never told me where you were going.

Home.

Come on, baby.

There we go.

Oh. Good to see you.

[Cindy laughs]

[suspense music playing]

It's almost been three hours.

She'll call any minute.

And when she does, I'll answer it.

Fine.

Can I get anybody something to eat?

Doesn't anyone know more jokes?

Dylan?

None that I could tell here.

[Brenda sighs]

[doorbell ringing]

Hello.

Honey, it's the doorbell.

I told you she'd answer it.

It won't happen again.

[door opens]

Guys, I'm not dead.

Are you OK?

Are you alright?

I don't know yet. We're waiting.

Here.

Brenda, I'm sorry about the other day.

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to react.

Can you guys just give me a hug?

[telephone ringing]

Excuse me, I want to get that.

I'll get it.

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

Yes, this is Brenda.

Hi, Dr. Donner.

[suspense music playing]

[Brenda] Uh-huh.

[suspense music playing]

[Brenda] Uh-huh.

It is?

Oh, thank God.

It's fibroadenoma, like she thought...

fairly common in teenage girls

due to high level estrogen.

I guess my hormones were raging.

Tell me about it.

Ouch.

Yes, I'm still here.

I feel fine. Hardly any pain at all.

I promise I won't for two whole days.

OK. Thank you, Dr. Donner.

Bye-bye.

Woo!

[cheering music playing]

[Jim] Ah!

[Dylan laughs]

[girls screaming]

[cheering music playing]

[door opens]

Brenda.

Huh?

Were you sleeping?

No.

You gave us all a pretty good scare.

I know.

Imagine how I felt.

I did.

It must have been pretty awful.

It was pretty terrible for me, too.

Why?

Thinking about losing you...

You don't know how much I'd miss you.

I think I have a good idea.

Good night, Brenda.

[soft music playing]

Don't you ever do that to me again.

I won't.

I promise.
