- Hi, Brandon.
- Hi!

- You're late.
- So?

So, I thought you said you got
here at 7:00 every morning.

I was beginning to think
you weren't gonna show.

Well, I didn't think
I was being clocked.

A little eager, aren't we?

Well, my father always told me

never keep a beautiful
woman waiting.

Well, in that case...

are you ready to start sweating?

You can work me
as hard as you want.

Yeah, I was hoping
you'd say that.

Yeah.

Hello?

- Hi. It's me.
- Hi.

I was just looking at my ring.

Yeah? Do you still like it?

I love it.

Do you still like me?

- Stuart.
- Well?

Of course.

I love you.

Good. Then you can get
to have lunch with me.

12:30, corner of Sepulveda Pass
and Mulholland.

It's a construction site,
so dress for the occasion.

I'll wear my hard hat. Bye.

Remind me why we had children.

Jim... what if she's pregnant?

No. Absolutely not.

If it was something like
that, she would tell us.

I know. Who gets engaged
at 18 in this day and age?

- Good morning.
- Brenda, are you pregnant?

Daddy, I'm not even going
to dignify that with an answer.

Come on, you guys.
Just be happy for me.

Honey, just try to understand.

You and Stuart haven't known
each other for very long.

Marriage is a big step.

We just don't want
you to get hurt.

Honey, you're young.

Your youth is
calling out to you.

You don't see Stuart
for who he really is,

what his little
imperfections might be.

- Well, nobody's perfect.
- Honey, what's the rush?

If it's good now, why won't it
be good six months from now?

And I'm not going to get hurt,
so please stop.

I know what I'm doing. It's
going to be fine. I promise.

Thank you for understanding.

And thank you...
for everything, really,

but, uh... I got to go meet
the girls for breakfast.

It's gonna be okay.

Promise. It will be.

Somehow I didn't find
that very reassuring.

So, you sure I can't buy
you that cup of coffee?

No. I got to get in gear.
The library's calling.

Somehow I have trouble
seeing you as an academic.

You're not... stuffy enough.

Well, I guess you don't realize
that anthropologists are

the "free spirits" of academia.

Oh, maybe I should
change my major.

Listen, I was wondering...

how'd you like to come over
to my place tonight?

You know, a little dinner,
some conversation?

Ah, food and words.
What a concept.

Expression is very
important to me.

Of course, like the aborigines,

I am a firm believer
in body language.

Fortunately, I'm fluent
in aborigine.

Come around 7:30.
322 Hope Street.

It's a green house.
You can't miss it.

Okay.

Brenda, that is not a ring.
That is a rock.

Oh, it's not that big, you guys.

Brenda, honey, let me
put it to you this way:

If you and your fiancé
ever want to buy a diner,

be sure to look me up.

Have you guys set the date yet?

Oh, hardly. No, and if my
parents have it their way,

the wedding will be held some
time in the year-- what?-- 2016.

You know, I always thought you'd
be the first to get engaged.

Me? See, I had my money on you.

No, if there is one thing that
I've learned from my mother,

it's that marriage is not
to be entered into lightly.

So that explains your prolonged
engagement to John Sears?

Donna, I would hardly
call it an engagement.

We haven't even
actually gone out yet.

And here I thought you would
have something juicy to report.

Sorry to disappoint you, Bren,

but for once,
I'm taking things slow.

- How does he feel about that?
- He's fine.

I mean, he knows I'm just coming
out of a relationship

and everything,
and he's not pressuring me.

He's turning out to be
a pretty cool guy.

Well, I bet you he's taking
lots of cold showers.

Bren...

Sanders.

- What's up, man?
- You missed the Gamma party.

- Well...
- It was a wild night, man.

You should have seen it. Erica
was crawling all over Sears.

It's a dirty job, but
fortunately, I'm a dirty guy.

- Who's Erica?
- Just a little someone

to tide me over till Kelly
Taylor gets her head together.

So, Sanders, remember

I was telling you about
that freshman from Clark Hall

who practically
threw herself at me?

Well, it turns out
she's got a friend

who's dying to meet a KEG man.

No, no, no, no.

- Celeste would kill me.
- Ooh, a little whipped, are we?

No. We have
an understanding, though.

So, don't tell her.

Look, from what I've been told,

Debra's friend is ready,
willing... and able.

Well, Celeste is suspicious,
perceptive and unforgiving.

Oh, come on, Sanders. Celeste
doesn't go to school here.

She'll never know
what you're doing.

- Believe me, she'll know.
- Wait a minute. Hold it.

Am I hearing what I
think I'm hearing?

Is a lowly pledge refusing

to come to the aid
of a brother in need?

This is not
a good thing, Sanders.

She better not be a dog.

I guarantee you,
this'll be the easiest

pledge assignment
you'll ever get.

Okay, this one's
for your insurance. All right?

This one's to give us permission
to roll over the bonds.

This one allows you
to increase your draw.

Ooh, I like this one.

I thought you would.

Okay. So. That's it?

- Pretty painless.
- Thank you.

So, where you headed
this weekend?

Oh, I don't know. I figured I'd
go to Baja. South swell's up.

Soak up some rays,
soak up some enchiladas,

but don't worry, no stowaways.

I'm not taking Brenda this time.

To tell you the truth,

I kind of wish you were.

Do I detect some cynicism

from the soon-to-be
father of the bride?

Tell me something.

Do you know anything
about her fiancé?

A little.

And?

Let's just say...

Stuart Carson is no choirboy
and leave it at that.

Care to elaborate?

No.

But you don't think
that it's a good idea

that she's marrying
this guy, do you?

I don't think it's a good idea.

I think it's a lousy idea.

I think your daughter's
out of her ever-lovin' mind,

but... my opinion doesn't
really count anymore, Jim.

I don't think that's the case.

In fact, I think
you completely underestimate

the kind of influence
you still have with her.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Jim. Are you...?

You're not trying
to talk me into doing

what it sounds like you're
trying to talk me into doing?

I'll tell you right now, I don't
want to get involved in this.

Dylan, somebody's got
to get through to her.

She's not listening to me.
She's not listening to her mom.

Right now, I'd say
you're the only hope

that Cindy and I have.

Thanks.

Here she comes!

You little monkey!

You come here.

Erin!

I fell down in the sand.

You did?

You know it's tough being
a toddler, isn't it?

Yes, it's even harder
being a parent.

Boo! Go play.

Which is why I asked you
to meet me here.

What's the matter?

Oh, I know I made a scene
the other night

at the Walsh's
anniversary party,

but when I found out
that Mel went down to Cabo

and left Erin with Dave
and Donna, I just lost it.

Mom, I'm sure
that everybody understood.

I think you should know that
my lawyer and I have decided

to take Mel to court
to get full custody of Erin.

Mom, it was only one weekend.

Isn't there any way that you can
settle this out of court?

No.

I want Erin to grow up

in a healthy
and stable environment,

and you and I both know
that right now

the only thing Mel's interested
in is his girlfriend.

I don't want to make the
same mistakes with Erin

that I made with you. She needs
a full-time parent.

Well, Mel did want
joint custody of her.

Honey, that was about his ego,

not about his daughter.

You know how much
I care about David.

Yeah, I do, too.

Don't be surprised if things get
a little tense around there

in the next few weeks.
After all,

blood is thicker than water.

I'm sure we will be fine.

Okay, just remember what
your father used to say:

"Hope for the best,
but don't forget

to be prepared for the worst."

Just a minute.

Hi, they told me downstairs I
could find David Silver up here?

- Can I tell him who's here?
- Just tell him it's Jerry.

Okay. David, Jerry's here.

I don't know any Jerry.

Well, he's standing here
at the door.

Just one second, okay?

Hi, uh, can I help you?

- Are you David Silver?
- Yes, I am.

Then this is for you, David.
Have a nice day.

What is it?

It's a subpoena.

Why are you being subpoenaed?

Jackie's bringing a custody suit
against my father.

I've got to give a deposition
to her lawyers.

What's a deposition?

Excuse me. Do you know where
I can find Stuart Carson?

- Yeah, behind the trailer.
- Thanks.

Look, I'm not gonna take
the blame for you.

You okayed that steel shipment
six weeks before you were ready,

and now it's got to be paid for.

Do you know how much interest
we're gonna lose on this money?

Who do you think you are,
you little pissant?!

If your father's got a problem

with the management
on this project,

you tell him to come
down here personally.

I don't take my marching orders
from some errand boy,

- even if his name is Carson!
- Okay.

Let's just cool down.
It's no big deal, all right?

I'm not the one
making it a big deal.

Okay. Look, why don't you
just draw up another budget

and we'll deal with it
tomorrow, all right?

Hey, there, love of my life.

Maury, come and meet my fiancé.

Does she dress up
this site or what, huh?

Yeah.

David,
what is your problem?

I just don't want to lie, okay?

Who said anything about lying?!

I go out of town for 17 hours,

and Jackie makes me out
to be some kind of a monster.

Do you have any idea how much
child support I give that woman?

Look, David, the goal
in this deposition tomorrow is

to frame
your father's trip to Cabo

in the best possible light.

I know that. I just don't know
what you want me to say.

You simply say that your father
hired a babysitter.

When the babysitter
didn't arrive, he called you.

- And...?
- And that's it.

You're Erin's older brother.
You're a very responsible

young man, and your father
knew he could trust you.

But the babysitter
didn't show up

and Erin was running a fever...

But that doesn't
have anything to do

with your father's
intentions, now, does it?

Look, David, you'll do fine.

- Just wear a suit.
- Now remember,

Jackie's lawyer is gonna
use every trick in the book

to try to get you
to say something damaging

- about your father.
- Wonderful.

Hey, don't sweat it.

If she backs you into a corner,
you just say "I can't remember."

How can I say that?
This was a couple days ago.

Hey, leave the lawyering
to me, okay?

A witness saying
"I can't remember"

- is par for the course.
- David, the only reason

Jackie is going after Erin
is because I have a girlfriend.

That's what this is all about.

And I need to know that I can
count on you tomorrow.

Of course he can. David's
gonna come through this

with flying colors,
aren't you, bud?

Yeah, I'll do my best.

D'shawn?

It's tutor time!
Come on in! What up, man?

Not too much,
what are you watching?

- Eek! The Cat.
- Eek! The Cat.

My favorite is Ren & Stimpy.
We got an hour before

- you gotta be in practice.
- Make that 45 minutes.

I gotta get in early,
and get my ankles taped.

Okay.
Now in western civilization

there are five primary
agents of socialization

Can you name them?

Family, school...

Can you name one agent?

- Bernie Green.
- Bernie Green?

Yeah. I'm lucky,
he'll be my agent.

When you see the deals
he cuts for first rounders,

You didn't read a page
of this last night, did you?

Man, you are...

Okay, I didn't read. Practice
run late, you understand?

You tell me what I need to know.
That's what tutors do, right?

I can tell you
what you need to know,

but I can't tell to you
why you're being tested.

You gotta learn this
on your own.

Here we go, the main event!

Tigers versus Georgia Tech.

- D'shawn...
- Hey, cuz.

This is my homework.

Look at that defence. Man,
see how they sagging?

You can pop all day
from the outside on them.

And I will.

Not if you can't
get a C from Randall.

Brandon, I like you man.

But you're stressing too much.

This isn't working out. It's
a waste of his time and mine.

D'Shawn is determined
to just skate by.

I told you this was gonna be a
struggle, so get creative.

- Try a different approach.
- Any suggestions?

Yeah, but I can't
get into it now

'cause I got to catch
a flight to San Diego.

I'm doing a motivational seminar
for the entire Chargers team.

- Cool.
- Oh, it's a living.

Anyway, we'll get back
into the D'Shawn thing

when I get back from San Diego.

- Okay.
- Oh, and, uh,

I've got a couple hockey tickets
for the Mighty Ducks tonight.

- You interested?
- Ah, not tonight.

I've got some other
indoor sports planned.

I see. Hot date, huh?
Well, in that case, take a tip

from my motivational seminar:

"Score and score often."

- Come on. I'll walk you out.
- Okay.

Bravo, bravo.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Let me just collect my stuff.
I'll get out of your way.

No need to leave
on account of me.

- I came here to see you.
- You did?

- You are Laura Kingman, right?
- I think so.

Your roommate told me
I could find you here.

Where'd you learn
to dance like that?

Oh, I took dance
all through high school.

- Terrific.
- I'm still learning.

- Um, can I ask you something?
- Sure.

Who are you?

Forgive me. I'm Steve Sanders.
Keith's friend from the KEG.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Oh! I'm such a mess.

Oh, no, you're not.

I'm all sweaty and disheveled.

Some of my best friends
are sweaty and disheveled.

Oh, listen, you don't have to go
out on a blind date with me

if you don't want to.

Well, we just met, right?

It's not a blind date anymore.

- Hey, Kel.
- Dylan, we should really stop

meeting like this.

- How are you?
- I'm getting by. Seen Brenda?

Yeah. I had breakfast with her
this morning. Why?

I want to see where her head's
at with all this marriage stuff.

A little jealous, are we?

Wrong. I just think she's making
a mistake marrying this guy.

Well, I think
you should let her be happy

because it's really none
of your business.

- The guy is bad news, okay?
- Well, you can't always

choose who you fall
in love with, now, can you?

Adios.

Well, that was a treat.

Definitely the most unique
chicken salad I've ever had.

Well, maybe that's
because it was liverwurst.

You fed me liverwurst?

It was chicken salad,
I swear. It was dark meat.

Good. I thought we were about
to have our first fight.

Well, while we're
on the subject,

I'm sorry about that
scene earlier.

Maury's all right. He's just
a little hotheaded, you know?

You don't have
to apologize to me.

I'd resent me, too, you know,

coming in here,
the boss's son...

I mean, at the end of the day,
I get to go back to Bel Air.

What does Maury go home to?

A little house in the Valley?

A wife, kids,

a mortgage he can barely afford.

You just got to have a little
perspective, you know?

What was that for?

Your perspective.

Thanks.

And your sensitivity

and your maturity

and the way you make me feel
when you kiss me.

I'm crazy about you.

And since you've finished
your chicken salad,

you get dessert.

Oh, and what's for dessert?

Right here?

Well, actually,
I had something else in mind.

Mm, I wish I didn't have to go
back to school this afternoon.

Brenda, if there's
one thing I learned

in my one semester
at Pepperdine,

it's that they don't take
attendance in college.

Well, I wish
I could stay forever.

Well, I don't know
about forever,

but for the next month,
it's yours, it's ours.

What?

I took the room for a month.

It could be our getaway.

Or you can come here by yourself
if you need to,

to think, to sleep,

to study, whatever.

You are incredible.

I've never met anyone like you.

- I've got to get pen and paper.
- Why?

'Cause I've got to see what my
new name is going to look like.

Okay...

Well, there's paper, but no pen.

Oh, there's one in my briefcase.

I remember in junior high,
we used to practice

writing our names
just to see how it went

with every cute boy we knew.

Somehow, Brenda Boycarsky

just didn't quite make it,
you know what I mean?

Well, Brenda Walsh Carson
sounds good.

What is this?

Oh, God, Brenda...

This is supposed
to be for me, right?

Yeah.
It's a prenuptial agreement.

- Yeah, I can read.
- It was my father's idea.

I wasn't even going
to show it to you.

That's why you're carrying it
around in your briefcase?

Brenda, you know my father.
He's all business.

He just thinks it's important
to get certain matters

- out into the open.
- And what about you?

What do you think?

- I don't know.
- Am I supposed to get a lawyer?

No, no, no, no.
It's not that big a deal.

Maybe it isn't a big deal to
you. I mean, in your world,

I'm sure this kind of thing
happens all the time.

I just didn't realize that
marriage was a business deal.

Brenda, Brenda, don't go
like this. Please.

I didn't hear you say that
I don't have to sign it...

I thought so.

- Hi. Are you going out tonight?
- Yeah, I have a date.

Aren't you even going
to ask me who it's with?

- Sorry. Who is she?
- I'm not telling.

Brandon, I'm in no mood
for jokes.

Why, what's the matter?

Promise not to tell anyone.

Not even Mom and Dad.
Especially not Mom and Dad.

Oh, sure, what is it?

The Carsons want me to sign
a prenuptial agreement.

You're kidding.
What does it say?

It says that if Stuart
and I ever get divorced

I'm not entitled to any
of the Carsons' money.

As if I would ever want it.

And I actually thought
that he loved me.

Now Bren, it doesn't necessarily
mean that he doesn't love you.

No. It just means that
he doesn't trust me.

I think this is going to be the
shortest engagement in history.

Well, maybe that wouldn't
be such a bad thing.

- You don't like Stuart, do you?
- It's not that I don't like him.

I just... I don't know the guy.
I really don't know him.

Yeah, well, maybe
I don't know him either.

Hey, listen, I could cancel my
date if you want to hang out--

That's okay. There's a poetry
reading at school tonight.

I wasn't going to go,

but maybe it'll take
my mind off of all this.

Talk about Indian summer.

How glad I am
that we live by the beach?

It's like
ten degrees cooler here.

- What's happening?
- Why don't you ask your mother?

I guess you heard
about the lawsuit?

Heard about it?
I got to give a deposition

tomorrow for lawyers. How long
have you known about this?

Jackie just told me
about it this morning.

Look, David, I tried to talk her
out of it. I'm really sorry.

Not as sorry as I am.
Not as sorry as my father is.

- Well, he started this.
- Started what?

Jackie's the one challenging
his custody rights.

He is the one who was fooling
around with his hygienist.

- What does it've to do with it?
- Everything!

Would you guys stop this?
Didn't you make a pact

not to let Mel and Jackie's
problems become your own?

Fine.

You don't have to
hang out in the kitchen.

I do. The salad needs chopping
and you're looking at a man

with years of kitchen
cleaver experience.

So I see.

Well, welcome to my kitchen.

Thank you.
It's a lovely kitchen.

Yeah, I must say, being out
in the wilds of Central America

made me miss
its little luxuries:

my Cuisinart, the pasta maker...

- Running water?
- Yeah, exactly.

Now tell me something.

Are these too spicy?

Mm. No, just right.

What do you think?

- I like it hot.
- Me, too.

Not now. If we keep this up,
we won't get to the main course.

Well, one thing you need
to know about me.

No matter how many
hors d'oeuvres I sample,

- I never seem to get full.
- Well, good.

Because I've prepared an
authentic Guatemalan feast.

How exotic.

And that's just my cooking.

Hey, cool masks.

Thanks. My husband
and I spent years

collecting them.

Your husband?

So, how long have
you been divorced?

Uh, I'm not divorced, Brandon.

Really?

Don't worry. He's far away.

I mean, is this
a problem for you?

Because it's certainly
not for me.

So, you guys have some
sort of understanding?

Well, he doesn't ask,
I don't tell.

It's sort of like
the military, you know.

But look, I don't want to talk
about him right now.

I mean, unless you feel
you really need to.

Nope, I can't say that I do.

Come on. Let's eat.

"With you, the earth
was a bed of grass.

"We slept in like two seeds.

"With you, I was more than I am.

"Your mouth, the sun,
made everything possible.

I burn with the love
that I lost when I lost you."

Thank you, Dylan.

And thanks to all of you
for coming tonight

on our first Thursday
night reading.

Thanks again.

That was beautiful.

Thanks. I found it last night.

It kind of reminds me of you.

- You want to get some coffee?
- Yeah, sure.

I didn't say
it was a bad movie.

I just like Lethal Weapon II
a hell of a lot better.

Oh, I'll take Mel Gibson,
anywhere, anytime, any place.

Hey, Sanders, where'd
you find this girl?

Well, I dialed one
of those 900 numbers.

Excuse us. Where's
the little girls' room?

Oh, out the door
and, uh, hang a left.

But enter at your own risk.

Laura's terrific, man.

Yeah, she's a lot of fun.

Well, listen,
just for your information,

John is otherwise
engaged for the evening.

Oh, with who, Erica or Kelly?

- Beth.
- Beth?

- Yeah.
- Beth who...?

Brother Sears is
quite the player, huh?

Yeah, an inspiration to us all.

So anyway, if you need
a bedroom, it's available.

Well, thanks, but I
have a girlfriend.

Hey, man, I'm just
making you aware

of all your options, all right?

Who's in charge
of cleaning your bathrooms?

Me. Why, is it disgusting?

- It was an adventure.
- I'm sorry about that.

Do you want one of these
before I take you home?

Why, do you have
an early class tomorrow?

No.

I'm kind of surprised
to see you out alone tonight.

Why?

You and your fiancé have
been inseparable lately.

Well, I can get
along without him.

Do you really love
this guy, Bren?

Tonight's not the night to ask.

Well, if you're not sure,
then you better not marry him.

Dylan, you know me
better than that.

I know you better than anybody.

I know you do.

And I got to tell you, secretly,
in the back of my mind,

I've been hoping
the whole thing falls apart.

Dylan, come on. That's not fair.

I don't want to hear that,
especially tonight.

If you marry this guy, Bren,

you and I will never
have another chance.

What are you talking about?

You're just trying to get me
to break up with Stuart.

Hey, at this point,
I would say or do anything

to get you to call off
this stupid engagement.

- Why?
- You've known him for 3 weeks.

Oh, that's an original line.
I haven't heard that one before.

Your parents are very worried
about you.

Have you been talking
to my parents?

My father put you up
to this, didn't he?

I talked to your father, but he
didn't put me up to anything.

- I care about you.
- I am so sick and tired

of everybody telling me

how to live my life.

It's my life, Dylan.
I will live it how I want to.

Well, after all that food,

I'm certainly glad I decided
to get back in shape.

I think you're in great shape.

For someone my age?

You think we'd be more
comfortable upstairs?

I always thought
beds were overrated.

Yeah, you're right.

Let's get naked right here.

- Oh, oh, God, look what I did.
- Don't worry about it.

- You can't take me anywhere.
- It's okay.

That's all right. I got it.
I got it. Hang on.

Wait a minute...

is your husband
Professor Randall?

You know him?

Know him? I'm in his
freshman sociology class.

So what?
I mean it's a huge class.

I'm sure he barely
even notices you.

No, you don't understand.
I talk to him every day.

- I tutor this basketball player.
- You're D'Shawn Hardell's tutor?

The one and only.

Then I guess we'll just have to
be a little more careful.

Look, I got to go.

Why?

When I look at this picture,
you know what I hear him saying?

"I have my life
and she has hers.

I just want my wife
to be happy."

Well, you know what
I hear him saying?

I hear him saying, "You touch my
wife, I'm gonna flunk you, pal."

This is just wrong.

You're not leaving?

Listen... dinner was great.

I had a wonderful time.
Thank you. I got to go.

Come on, Brandon. You're acting
like a silly little kid.

No, no, no. A silly
little kid would stay.

Good night.

Brenda, would you come in here.
We'd like to talk to you.

Yeah, that's fine, 'cause I
really want to talk to you, too,

I'm glad you're here because
I don't want to say this twice.

- Don't take that tone with us.
- Right now, I will take any tone

- I damn well please.
- Brenda.

How could you humiliate me
like that, Dad?

What are you talking about?

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

What exactly did you
say to Dylan

to get him to throw himself
at me like that?

I mean, did you really think
I would fall for it?

My God, what is wrong with you?

You call this love?
You claim to love me?!

And then you pull
some stunt like this?

What if I'd have
listened to Dylan?

And then eventually found out
about your little deceit.

Where would that have left me?

My God, I can't even trust
my own parents anymore.

At least when the Carsons play
games they're up front about it.

- What do you mean by that?
- Nothing.

Brenda, come back.
We need to talk.

No, I'm finished talking,
and I'm going upstairs,

and I'm going to pack,
and then I'm leaving this house.

And I don't want either one
of you to try to stop me.

Yeah, thanks, Larry.

Yeah, I'll call
if we hear anything.

I know you're concerned.
So are we.

Thanks.

So, what did he say?

Apparently, Stuart and Brenda
had a fight yesterday,

and Stuart hasn't heard
from Brenda since.

Jim, I'm sorry. I kind of feel
like this is my fault.

Don't be ridiculous. If it's
anyone's fault, it's mine.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

Listen, guys, I know Brenda
like I know myself,

and I know she wouldn't
run out of here

without knowing exactly
where she was going.

I'm sure she's fine.

Hi. Is this the concierge?

Yes, this is room 316.

Um, is there a notary public
in the hotel?

Sanders, you stud.

You got to tell me
what went on last night.

I heard you put my room
to good use.

Yeah, well, I guess.

What do you mean, "you guess?"

Don't tell me the evening
was a total loss.

No, it...

No, it wasn't a total loss.

So share and share
alike, my brother.

Is Laura worth writing
home about or what?

What do you care?
I mean, how many girls can you

juggle at one time, Sears?

As many as I can.

What about Kelly?

What about her?

You told me you were
crazy about her.

And you told me you were
crazy about Celeste.

Whoa, that's different.

I'm doing Keith a favor.

Hey, I understand, Steve.

I hope Celeste sees it that way.

David, I'd like to
discuss the events

of Saturday, October 30,

when your father left Erin
in your custody

to go down to Cabo San Lucas
with his lady friend.

Did he leave you a number
where he could be reached?

Yes, he did,
on the refrigerator.

Well, then why
didn't you call him

when you first realized
that Erin was running a fever?

Well, because I didn't realize
Erin was sick until...

Go on.

Well, until Jackie took her
home from the Walsh's party.

Really? She was dehydrated
and listless

with a temperature of 103.

But you, who had been with her
for the previous four hours,

had no indication that
there was any trouble?

She seemed fine.
Really, she did.

But of course, you have
no formal training

or experience with child care?

Well, I lived with Erin
for over a year

and was involved in almost
every aspect of her life.

I changed her diaper. I fed her.

Honestly, I feel I'm capable
of taking care of Erin

under any circumstances.

Okay.

Why did Mel and Jackie
decide to get a divorce?

Uh, I guess they
just weren't happy.

Wasn't it because your father
was having an affair

with his hygienist?

Yeah. I guess so.

And why did your
mother and father

decide to get a divorce?

What does this have
to do with Erin?

I'm just trying to show
a pattern of behavior,

which any court would
find admissible.

- It's okay, Mel.
- This isn't the first time

your father has had affairs
with his hygienists, is it?

No.

In fact, your father's repeated

infidelity is
what caused your mother

to file for divorce.

I... I don't remember.

You don't remember when your
mother had a nervous breakdown?

Look, lady, you want to start

dredging up this crap
about my past,

then let's start talking about
Jackie's cocaine addiction

and all the men that
she slept around with...

- Gary!
- Mel!

She's not exactly
a model of motherhood.

I'm a good father, and you are
not taking my baby away from me.

Tell her, David.

Tell her all the time
I was there for you,

for your, your nursery school
and your Little League

and your bar mitzvah...

Tell her!

Yeah...

Because of
my father's infidelity,

my mother had
a nervous breakdown.

Thank you.

Brandon.

Professor Randall.

Hey, I'm glad
I caught up with you.

You didn't hang around
after class today.

No, I had some business
to take care of.

- How was San Diego?
- It was terrific.

Listen, I understand
you, uh, met my better half.

- Lucinda?
- Lucinda?

She said she worked out with you
at the gym the other day.

Oh, right, right, Lucinda, yeah.

Anyway, she was very taken
with you.

And we both decided
we'd like to have you over

- for dinner sometime.
- Dinner?

Yeah, so maybe next week.

Why don't you, um, see what's
good for you and get back to us?

- Sure. Great.
- All right, well, I got to run.

See ya.

Yeah...

Well, I'm glad
you like it, Stuart.

Hi.

Brenda...

everyone's been worried about
you. Where have you been?

At the hotel.

I called there.

Yeah, I know.
I wasn't answering the phone.

I really didn't feel
like talking to anybody.

I needed some time by myself
to think things out.

Well, you're entitled.

I'm glad you got
some time to be alone.

Stuart, I want you to know that
I didn't fall in love

with you because of your money.

I know that. That's not
what this is about.

I never would have thought
of suggesting it...

Will you just please
let me finish?

I'm sorry. Go ahead.

I would never want
to depend on you

because you have more than me.

Or more than my family.

That's not what
marriage is about.

And if one day, we split up,

I wouldn't want anything
that didn't belong to me.

Stuart, your parents
are not wrong.

They don't know me any better
than my parents know you.

So the bottom line is,

a prenup is probably
a very good idea.

I just hated being blindsided.
That's all.

You're right. I was scared.

I didn't know
how you would take it.

And I didn't want
to lose you over it.

I know.

Signed, sealed and delivered.

- You'd do this for me?
- I love you.

I'm not going to let your father
or my father stand in our way.

I love you so much, Brenda.

And in six months,
I'm tearing this up.

I don't care
what my father says.

I'm never letting you go.

- How'd it go?
- Not good.

We're heating up a casserole my
mom sent over if you're hungry.

You know what, Kelly. I'd really
rather starve to death

than eat something
your mother made.

Look, David, I don't know
what happened today.

No, you don't know!

You weren't there when
my father started crying

because your mother's lawyer
went on the warpath.

- Listen, I'm sorry.
- You're sorry.

That's exactly what I said
when the whole thing was over.

My dad looked at me with tears
in his eyes and he said,

"How could you sell me out?"

You know, my mom said something
like this could happen.

I really don't care what your
mother says anymore, all right?

And I think you
should just shut up

before I say something
I might just regret.

Fine. Have a nice life.

Kelly, don't be mad.
He didn't mean what he said.

Let's just go back and
talk this whole thing out.

Sorry, Donna. It's too late.
If anybody calls for me,

just tell them I'm
staying at my mom's.

David. I know you're upset,

but what happened today
has nothing to do with Kelly.

- Donna, I don't care.
- Well, I do because now

she's moving out of the house.

If you're gonna start taking her
side, why don't you leave too?
