Hey.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

I'd better
get going.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'll tell you
right now

you're going to be
the best-looking guy

at the dean's dinner.

The only thing
missing will be

that best-looking
girl on my arm.

Somehow I don't think it
would be politically healthy

for either of us
if you brought a teacher

to your first
big Task Force soiree.

You're right, so you'll
come to the second one.

Just keep
your fingers crossed

I get that grant
to finish my documentary.

Then, I can kiss
university life good-bye.

I don't like it
when you shave so close.

I miss that roughness.

I'll keep that in mind
on the way to the dean's.

I really do wish I
could take you tonight.

Take me now.

Oh, face it,

Estelle,
the only reason

the students want the library
open late is so they can neck.

Hey, now.

Brandon, remember, there's
a non-fraternization rule

at this university.

Come on, Estelle,
we can take a hint.

Bye-bye, ladies.

Thank you, Dean,
I was beginning

to get the feeling
they were zeroing in on me.

Well, it doesn't help
that you came alone.

Listen, didn't my
secretary explain to you

that the invitation was
for you and a guest?

Yeah, she did.

It just didn't work out.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, Josh.

You know Brandon Walsh,
don't you?

Yeah, we almost
became best friends.

How you doing,
Josh?

Not as good
as you.

Well, I'll leave
you two power mongers.

So, who are
you here with?

Flying solo.

Handsome guy
like you.

Who'd have thunk it?

What's it to
you, Josh?

Hey, you're big news
around The Condor.

I've got to hand it
to you, Walsh.

I've never seen a freshman
move up the fast track

like you.

You're the original
boy wonder.

Yeah, well, like they
say, stuff happens.

Right.

That's why
I'm going to be doing

the feature story
on you myself.

I hope you don't mind, but
I'm going to be interviewing

some of your teachers
and friends, etc.,

just to get a better insight
into the "great man."

Yeah, well, you can lay
off the "great man" angle.

I'm just a student trying
to make a little noise,

that's all.

Ah, that's what you do
so well.

What are you after, Richland?

The truth.

No one can be as perfect

as you.

Well, see you in the papers.

You don't have
to be so nervous.

I'm not going to snort
the cookie dough.

David,
I'm not nervous.

Well, maybe,
maybe just a little.

Yeah, me, too.

My shrink says
it's normal.

I just have to find activities
to keep my hands busy.

David?

No, not that.

I'm talking about
renting a piano.

You know,

the sound of music without
a pounding drum track, uh,

may give the apartment
a peaceful vibe.

Maybe even help us
get close again.

Maybe.

You know, no matter what
I said at the time, uh...

it really was lonely
around here without you.

It's been lonely for me, too.

Oh, I wonder
who that is.

Probably Brandon.

No, he would have
parked in the driveway.

You don't think Brenda ordered
a pizza, do you?

Oh... I hope not.

She just polished
off the cheesecake.

Well, it is our
esteemed son.

How was the
big meeting?

Well, it went
pretty well.

Dean Trimble seemed
to like my idea

about upgrading the status
of undergraduate teaching.

Well, of course he did,
it's a great idea. Yeah, I guess we're

gonna talk more about it

on Saturday night
at Chancellor Arnold's.

Anyway, I'm going to hit it.

Good night.

Brandon, uh, are
you going out later?

Out?

Why do you ask?
Well, I was

wondering why you didn't park
your car in the garage.

Oh, uh, I-I thought I might go
over to Steve's later.

Unwind?

Yeah, yeah, unwind.

Well, don't stay
up too late.

Brandon,
what do you think?

Oh, this get-up wouldn't
have anything to do

with Stuart
Carson, would it?

Well, he invited me
to Palm Springs for the weekend.

Hmm... you two picking up
right where you left off, huh?

Why not?

After all, I still have
his engagement ring.

Uh-oh.
Oh, Brandon, relax.

It's just on my right hand.

Besides,
Stuart insisted I keep it.

Obviously, he's not ready
to give up on us either.

Well, you could
do a lot worse.

Stuart's a good guy.

Thanks,
I'll keep that in mind.

So how was dinner
tonight?

Did you geniuses
figure out

how to save
the Western civilization?

Well, I got
to tell you.

I love being on
the Task Force,

but I had no idea how
political it was going to be.

Political?

Well, how effective you are
seems to be based entirely

on how you're perceived.

It's all about appearances.

Believe me, if you weren't going
away this weekend,

I'd be taking you
to the chancellor's luncheon.

Why don't you take a date?

Yeah, right.

Like who?

Brandon, come on, I know
that you're seeing someone.

You can't fool me.
Who is she?

I'll tell you what.

If it becomes serious,
you'll be the first to know.

Have you seen Brandon
this morning?

Well, he must have gone
to class early.

I stopped by his room;
he was already gone.

Well, after all that business
with the Peach Pit,

it's good to see him
getting focused

on what's important again.

Hello.

Well, good
morning, ma'am.

Could I interest you in
purchasing a vacuum cleaner?

I don't know.

Why don't you come in
and show me how it works?

Mm... excellent suction.

Hey, there, Stuart.

Mr. Walsh.

Mrs. Walsh.

Hi, Stuart.
Hi.

How about some breakfast?

Oh, no thanks, Mom.

Lucinda Nicholson's seminar
starts in 20 minutes

and I don't want
to be late.

I cannot believe your daughter
has me hanging out on campus

all day before we head
down to the Springs.

By the way,
I talked to your father.

I think he's going to be more
than open to your presentation.

I hope so.

It's the first major project
I've ever presented to him.

You ready to go, Bren?
Yeah, all set.

Have a good time.

If you decide to get
married, call us.

Oh, now, what fun
would that be?

Should we pack now?

Well, if monogamy

is rejected in some cultures,

how do these women have
any power?

That's a good question, Kelly.

They do and they don't.

Among the tribes of Southern
Africa that practice polygamy,

a man will choose
several wives.

He'll have a bright wife,

another who cooks,
another who can do errands,

but only his bedmate
will be his equal.

Well, does that mean

sex gives women power?

Historically, it's been proven.

For example, the Trojan War--

fought for the love
of Helen of Troy.

So you do admit
that love is important?

Sorry, I meant desire.

Not that I don't believe
in love.

No, but what you are

saying is that sex is a power

that women shouldn't
be ashamed of.

Well put, Kelly.

Maybe I'm in
the wrong class.

It's just everything she
says sounds so extreme.

Well, it works
for me.

I intend to practice
on Stuart all weekend.

Oh, you know what?
I left my anatomy book in her class.

Oh, stay where you are;
I'll get it.

There's no way
our mother-to-be

is tackling
the stairs again.

Thanks, Kelly.

Andrea,
I've been waiting for you.

Are we all set?

Actually, Steve, I've been,
uh, having second thoughts.

What?
Donna, come on.

Power women shouldn't
have to watch men whine.

What are you talking about,
Andrea?

I'm all set to move in.

Look, I don't know if your
taking over my dorm

is such a good
idea, Steve.

Ah, you're just getting
cold feet, Andrea.

Actually, I don't want
to see my dorm room

turned into a KEG den for
the hormonally challenged.

Okay?

There, I said it.

Andrea, it won't.

With all that's happened
this year,

I'd like to think
that I've learned something.

I'm gonna be on campus
weekends working

and I'm gonna need my room
to study once in a while.

It's yours.

Weekends,
I'll hang at the KEG House.

And the computer?

I'm still going to need it
for my research, anytime.

Come on, Andrea.
If I was Brandon,

you wouldn't have
any problem with this.

It just so happens
I'm turning very Brandon-esque.

Okay.

Okay, we will try it.

Thanks, Mom.

I'll see you later.

You won't regret it.
Yeah.

Excuse me, I just wanted
to get Andrea's book.

No problem.

Is something the matter?

I just can't seem to get a break

from any
of the funding agencies.

I guess no one
believes in my work.

Well, I do.

I think you're brilliant.

Thanks.

I really thought the NEA would
go for my proposal.

The film's halfway finished,

and I wasn't even asking
for that much money.

You have a film?

Well, it started out
as my thesis,

but I can't help thinking it can
be something more than that.

Do you want to go
get some coffee?

Maybe we could talk.

Yeah, sure.

Uh... anywhere
but the cafeteria.

Well, how about my boyfriend's
restaurant?

♪ Sometimes it's not...

You know,
I'd hate to admit it,

but, uh, this place actually
ran good without me.

Well, Suzanne knows
what she's doing.

It's a good thing
because I didn't, but...

You know.

Hey, there's my
number one customer.

Could I possibly interest you
in the house special?

I'll take one to go.

Uh, Lucinda,

this is my
boyfriend, Dylan McKay.

Hi.

The infamous
Lucinda Nicholson.

Kelly never stops
talking about you.

Can we get some
service here? My best booth.

Nat, three coffees.

Seriously though,
Lucinda, the field work

you did in Guatemala
sounds incredible.

What was the name
of the tribe

you lived with,
the Ixtu?

The Ixtu Paca.
Ah.

She filmed them for her thesis.

Really?
It's part of a documentary I've been working on.

It compares the roles of women
in different tribal societies

with the role of women
in contemporary America.

Well, that must be
some contrast.

Well, not the way you think.
The strange thing is,

it seems the more
"civilized" the society,

the less they seem
to value their women.

That's a movie I'd like to see.

So would I, but she hasn't
been able to get

the money to finish
the rest of her film.

Yeah, so I just keep writing

grant proposal
after grant proposal.

Here we go.

Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.

Nat, you're looking
better every day.

Thanks.

I'm thinking about running
a 10K in between shifts.

If you need anything,
let me know.

Thanks.

You know, Lucinda, I'd, uh,
like to take a look

at your proposal sometime.

You would? Why?

Well, I've been known
to back a project I believe in.

Hey, Nat.
How's it going?

Hey, okay.
Hey, Nat.

Hi.

You gotta tell me one thing.

Who's the babe
sitting with Dylan and Kelly?

Oh!

That babe
just happens to be

an anthropology teacher,
isn't that right, Brandon?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Oh? From the conversation,

I thought she was one
of those movie directors.

You know, the kind that, uh, is
always looking for financing.

Well, if that's what
she's doing with Dylan,

she's certainly found
some deep pockets.

ad to use one word
to sum him up, I'd have to say "decent."

Brandon is the most
decent guy I know.

He's considerate, caring,

passionate about
the things he believes in.

He's the best.

It sounds like you have

a little crush
on him, Zuckerman.

This baby you're carrying

isn't his by any
chance, is it?

Look, if you want dirt
on Brandon,

you're going to have
to bring your own.

Just relax.
I'm thrilled for him, okay?

If there's one thing the Task
Force needs, it's talent.

And he's got it.

Not to mention integrity.

You know how to spell
"integrity," don't you?

Andrea, do you think
you could help with the...

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know you had company.

No, I'm just going.

Thanks for everything,
Zuckerman.

You've given me some
really "decent" hooks.

Josh is doing a big
feature on Brandon

for The Condor.
Oh, really? Cool.

Look, I talked to Kathy about
our arrangement.

Kathy?
The R.A., she's great.

And she has no problem
with this as long as you behave.

Then she has no problem, then.

Hey, Richland.

If you want to know
about Brandon,

you should really
interview me.

I could tell you tons
of stuff about this guy.

Like that time last semester,
when I got in trouble

with that professor?

Oh, it was Brandon
who saved my butt.

Oh, yeah, which professor?

Randall.

Really?

What kind of trouble?

It was this
fraternity thing.

There was a whole
bunch of hazing...

♪ Fall in love

♪ And you never know how...

"Idaho." That gives me six.

Oh, what?!

What is someone from Idaho

doing in the
San Gabriel Valley?

You're not one of those guys
that always has to win,

are you?

Hey, when I'm with you,
I am the winner.

♪ You stand by me...

"New Mexico."
We're even at six.

Stuart, that's not fair.

You did that on purpose.

Yeah, I guess I am
one of those guys

who always has to win.

Yeah, well, you probably
get that from your father.

Ooh. My father.

Boy, I know just what he's
going to say about my project.

"Brazil? Why do we have to go
all the way to Brazil?"

Well, maybe he'll
surprise you.

I doubt it.

After all, his "idiot son"

came up with
the idea, right?

Well, whatever happens,

I'm glad we got to spend
this time together.

I am, too.

♪ ...you're by my side...

I just hate the idea of
going straight to the hotel

and getting right
in the middle of it.

That's why I thought
we would do

something special
before we get there.

What did you have in mind?

Well, it so happens
that I bought

the most incredible
camping equipment.

Camping?

Stuart, I'm not exactly
dressed for it.

Oh, think of
how romantic it'll be.

The two of us
in a down sleeping bag.

The desert sky above
us filled with stars.

What do you say?

Is that a yes?

Uh-huh.

And there goes
"Minnesota" for seven.

Oh, my God.

I can't help you with that, man.

He was just my tutor.

I hardly know him,
you understand?

Yeah, I'm trying to.

But what doesn't
make sense is

if everything was
so "cool" as you say,

why did Randall
refuse to talk to me?

Beats me.

Did you know Randall just
separated from his wife?

All I know is I got 200
more reps to do on my knee

so I can stay with
my therapy program.

Yeah, all right, so what about
Brandon's girlfriends?

Does he have any?

Walsh. What a coincidence!

You're wrong again.

He comes in all
the time to help.

He cares.

So, what's the big deal?

Nothing, just
Mr. Hardell seems to

resent my asking
questions about you.

I would have thought
he'd be thrilled.

Steve Sanders was.

Oh, he was? That's good.

Listen, D'Shawn,
don't worry about it.

Josh here is a big-time

newsman.

How's your article going?
Could be a

lot more interesting
than I thought.

You have a good one.

Yeah, you, too.

Man, that is one dude
who's got it in for you.

What did he ask you, man?

Well...

if you and Lucinda
were planning on meeting here,

you'd better be a lot more
careful, cuz.

See, now there you go with that
imagination of yours again.

For your information, Lucinda
and I are no longer speaking.

When you're cold, you're cold.

Glad you could make it.

Why did you want me
to meet you at a piano store?

Well, I was looking
for a second opinion.

I'm thinking
of renting one.

David, I don't know
anything about pianos.

But this one seems nice,
doesn't it?

I was thinking maybe I
should get back into my music.

But this time I'll do it for me.

And stop chasing
after record deals.

Well, I always thought
you were more talented

than you realized.

I think it'd be cool

having a piano
in the apartment.

David, you didn't
ask me to come here

to talk about pianos, did you?

No, I didn't.

I just wanted you to know how
much I appreciate what you did.

I'm just glad
you're getting better.

Well, I know it's my fault

that we're not
all still together.

And I wish you would move back.

David, are you doing
this for Donna?

No. No, I'm doing it for me.

David...

Just think about it, okay?

Ms. Nicholson, I'm from
the Educational Task Force.

Could I speak
with you a minute?

Why certainly, Mr. Walsh.

Come in.

Close the door, please.

It's a little drafty in here.

Sure.

Good boy.

I thought you'd like it.

Now what was Josh Richland

doing with D'Shawn?

What do you think?

Snooping around,
trying to find out

whether I have
a girlfriend or not.

Do you?

I think so.

Only she's much too beautiful
to take outside closed doors.

Well, maybe you should find
yourself a public girlfriend.

A "beard" to go
with your beard.

You're certainly
in a chipper mood.

Did you enjoy your lunch
with Dylan and Kelly?

Immensely.

It seems like he
might be interested

in funding my film.

I thought you had
the NEA for that.

No, I don't... they passed.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Does Dylan really have
that much money?

And then some.

Who knows? Maybe you could
become his newest philanthropy.

Well, one thing's for sure.

His girlfriend Kelly
is terrific.

No argument there.

You know, if you
needed someone

to go to the chancellor's
with you on Saturday,

she'd be ideal.

I don't think
she'd want to go.

I'll bet she'd
jump at the chance

to hang with the
upper echelon.

Um, unless you're worried
Dylan might not approve.

No, Dylan's pretty open-minded.

Yeah, it might work.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, you're crazy.

Crazy about you.

Are you sure we're far enough
away from civilization?

Well, this is about
as good as it gets.

Come on, the sun's
about to set.

This is one of the things
I love about you.

Yeah, what's that?

For all your mansions
and luxury cars

and $3,000 suits, you can
still enjoy something

as simple as the sunset.

It all depends on who
I'm sharing it with.

Mm.

Mm...

Mm.... I am freezing.

I'm gonna go
get my sweater.

Stay here,
I'll keep you warm, hon.

No, I'll be right back.

Oh, God.

What's going on?

I can't believe I just locked
the keys in the car.

You did what?

Oh, God, Stuart,
I am so sorry.

How could you do that?

What were you thinking,

that someone
was going to steal it?

It was force of habit.

Here, my hand's smaller,
let me try... Excuse me.

I know what I'm doing, okay?

Ow, great, it's stuck.

Here, pull...
Will you stop?

You're just making it worse.

There. Better?

No. How could it be better?

We're still here, aren't we?

Stuart, I'm sorry.

It was an accident.

Oh, man!

Stuart, why don't I get a rock,

and we can just
smash in the window?

You'd like that,
my brand-new Range Rover.

You know, Stuart, if we
had to be stuck somewhere,

it could be a lot worse.

Look at the stars.

It is pretty
incredible.

Maybe we should
just camp out here.

Yeah, I don't
think so, okay? Why not?

Because the camping equipment
is locked inside.

Ooh, right.

Yeah, right.

I'm sitting here freezing,
at least you have a sweater.

Here, take
my sweater. I don't want it.

Look, a car.

Oh, yeah, like he's
really going to stop.

Why wouldn't he?

I mean, even if he does,
do we really want him to?

Stuart, have some faith.

Hi, thanks for stopping.

Um, look something
happened to our car.

Could you give us a ride?

We need to use a phone.

Well, Ada Mae's Cozy Courts

is down the road about 30 miles.

That sounds great.

Stuart, come on,
we got a ride.

No, go ahead.

I'm not leaving my car.

Stuart, I'm not going by myself.

Thanks a lot.

We really appreciate it.

You guys better
ride in the back.

Whoo.

Well, at least
we're on our way.

Oh!

Hey, Kel, you got enough pasta?
Brandon's here.

Kel, now slow yourself down,
it's all right.

No chow for me, thanks.

Are you sure?
We have plenty.

It's rigatoni
with marinara sauce.

Wow, my girlfriend.

I think I'll keep her.

I think he's missed

a few chapters in my
power feminism books. Oh.

Brandon, sit down.

What's going on?

We haven't seen you
in a while.

Well, between school
and the Task Force,

everything's kind of a blur.

Listen, did that guy from
The Condor contact you guys

about interviewing you for
that piece he's doing on me?

Not us, but he
met with Donna.

She said that he
started to groan

every time she mentioned
you as "incredible."

Evidently, that's all
he's been hearing.

He groaned--

sounds like you're gonna get
a rave review.

Hopefully, but that's not
the only thing I came here

to talk to you guys about.

The Task Force has a lot
of social functions,

and there's actually
a very important one

tomorrow at the chancellor's.

Why, Brandon,
are you inviting us?

I wouldn't know
which T-shirt to wear.

That's okay, because I just
came here to invite Kelly.

Me?
Yeah.

This isn't exactly
the kind of thing

I can bring a blind date to,

so I thought maybe
I'd bring a friend.

But, uh, Donna and David are
having a get-together tomorrow.

Yeah, I know,
but the chancellor's thing

is in the afternoon,
so we can make it to both.

What do you say?

What do you say?

You want to borrow
my girlfriend?

Oh, I don't know, Bran.

I mean, a girlfriend's
kind of like a surfboard.

It's not really
the type of thing

you want to loan out,
you know what I'm saying?

I don't get you--
one minute he's trying

to persuade me to move out,

and the next minute,
he's trying to lock me in.

I'm just teasing, Kel.

Good, 'cause
I'd love to go.

I always wanted to
meet the chancellor.

Did you know he
won a Nobel Prize?

Yes, I did.

Listen, guys,
maybe this just isn't right.

If it's too weird for you, bro,
I totally understand.

I don't know, man.

Since she's been under
Lucinda Nicholson's spell,

nothing's too weird for her.

Stop it, Dylan, you like
her and you know it.

I don't know about that.

I think she certainly is
a liberating example

for you young ladies
to look up to.

Okay, you want
to take her out

as an escort
for the evening, fine.

Just bring her back
without any dings.

Got it.

The number's 555-4871

if anyone at the House
is looking for me.

And do me a favor,
thank whoever it was

that left this Playboy
underneath my door.

I really appreciate it.

Oh! Muntz, it was you?

Dude, you're such a stud...

Sigma?

What page? What page?

Yeah?

Hold on.

Hi. I hope I'm not
interrupting you.

Uh, well,
actually you are.

I'm, uh... busy working
on my computer here.

Tinkling on the keyboard,
processing data.

Well, Tink, take it from
a Computer Science major,

you might want
to turn it on first.

I'm also your floor R.A.

You're Kathy Fisher.

And you're Steve Sanders.

Kind of what I thought.

In my dumber days,
I used to date KEG men.

Hey, come on, there's some
outstanding KEG brothers.

Look, I'm only allowing
this arrangement

as a favor to Andrea.

If the room's vacant,
she could lose it,

and I don't want
to see that happen.

Hey, neither do I.

Then keep it honest, Sanders.

Always.

Hey, Muntz,

you'd better cancel me
on that six-pack.

Well, it is just
for one night.

Remind me not to take
a shower, please.

Well, I admit, Ada Mae
was a little eccentric.

Eccentric?

The woman was
talking to herself.

She's probably
just lonely.

How could she be lonely
with all those cats?

You do know I'm allergic
to cats, don't you?

Stuart, I'm sure if you call
your father at the resort,

he would send a car
for us right now.

I am not calling my father
for help, okay?

Well, then,
relax, all right?

I'm sure there are no cats
in here.

You know, in a couple of years,

I'm sure we'll be able
to look back at all this

and just laugh our heads off.

I doubt it.

Stuart, where is your
sense of humor?

It's out
in the desert, Brenda.

I said I was sorry.

That makes two of us.

We should have just gone
back and gotten the car.

Well, it was your
idea to stay here.

Only because
you were whining

about being so tired.

You know,
it's really not that bad.

How are we supposed
to fit on that thing?

Well, if we snuggle real close,
I'm sure it'll be fine.

No, I'm just gonna crash
on the chair.

Stuart?

I just want to get some sleep,
okay, Brenda?

Fine.

It'll probably be much better
in the morning.

Brandon, you really shouldn't drop by without telling me.

Why, is there some other
guy kicking in your stall?

Don't be silly.

It's just that
I might have had

a colleague in,
or anyone for that matter.

I don't want us to blow this
by being careless.

Well, then maybe you
shouldn't be walking around

in my flannel shirt.

I'll risk it.

I like having the smell of you
around when you're not here.

Is that the cologne
I got you?

Ah, you noticed?

So, you're reworking
your proposal?

Yeah, I'm trying
to beef it up

with more pictures
and sketches.

I just don't know if I'm kidding myself.

I mean, maybe...

maybe it's all
really too ordinary.

Oh, hey, now, don't you start
getting down on yourself.

This is extraordinary work
you're doing.

It's going to change
the way men and women

view each other forever.

Trust me, you're on
the cutting edge.

You really think so?

Yeah, I got the scars
to prove it.

It just feels so strange
getting all this together

for a student to review.

But Kelly says Dylan's
really serious.

Well, backing a film would
certainly fill a void

in Dylan's financial empire.

Well, there's
that tone again.

I thought you
guys were friends.

We are friends.

Sounds more
like competitors.

Just so long as
we're not competing for you.

So that's what
this is about.

You're jealous!

No, I am not jealous.

I'd just like to be able
to take you out

for a megaburger sometime

without having to sit
at separate booths.

Well, be careful
what you wish for.

You might get it.

Look at this thing. My dad is going to kill me.

I knew I shouldn't
have listened to you.

Great. Beautiful.

I knew I should have
stayed with this car,

but, hey, what
do I know, right?

Stuart.

Oh, right.
Ha, ha.

I can't wait to laugh
about this someday.

Brandon, I'm
so nervous,

I've got
goose bumps.

What am I supposed
to do again?

If you forget how to talk,
just nod and smile.

Believe me, it'll work.

Uh-oh, here comes the dean.

Brandon.
Dean.

Glad you're here.
Thanks.

And who is this?

Uh, Dean Trimble,
this is Kelly Taylor.

It's a pleasure
to meet you. Likewise.

I was getting worried

Brandon didn't know the value
of an active social life.

Well, you don't have
to worry about Brandon.

He's a Renaissance man.

He's just so good
at so many things,

but he never loses
sight of his priorities.

Right now, I'd say
his top priority was you.

Well, today my attention
will also be on lobbying, uh,

for the Task Force
with the chancellor.

Yes, and with the chancellor
being the host,

it's going to be hard
to get his ear on our issues,

Brandon.
Come on.

At least I'd like you
to meet him.

Lead on.

Renaissance man?

I just opened my
mouth, and out it came.

Did it make any sense?

Absolutely.
Thank you.

Afternoon, Josh.

Let's just make
nice, okay?

Hello,
Brenda. Hi.

How are you?

Always a pleasure
to see you.

Thank you.

Vivian went to do
a little shopping,

but she'll be back soon.

I know she was looking forward
to seeing you.

And I was
looking forward

to seeing you.

Sorry we're
late.

You know, son,
as hard as I try,

I can never
understand you.

You were the one
who insisted

on having a meeting
this morning.

You announce that you have
something important to tell me.

And then you don't even have
the decency to show up on time.

Dad, it couldn't
be helped.

We had a problem
with the car.

Let me tell you something.

If I had a meeting with my boss,

I wouldn't let anything
get in the way of it.

It wasn't my fault.

Oh? And whose fault was it?

We made a stop in the
middle of nowhere,

and Brenda was cold,
so she went back

to the car to
get her sweater,

and she locked
the keys inside.

Tell him, Bren.

Did it ever occur to you that you could be

a gentleman and get
the sweater for her?

Or would that have required
too much effort?

I don't even know why I
bother with you anymore.

Neither do I.

Brenda.

No, I don't know why I bother
with either one of you.

Why don't you ever give your son
half a chance?

You know, he wouldn't
be such an idiot

if he wasn't constantly trying
to prove himself to you.

Brenda, will you please
let me take care of this?

Oh, make no mistake, Stuart.

You are an idiot.

I can't believe
I thought this weekend

would be the beginning
of anything.

I can't believe
I kept your damn ring.

Here. Take it.
I don't even want it.

Brenda, wait.

Are you going
to get the ring,

or are you going to leave it
there as a tourist attraction?

Oh, geez.

Yeah.

Dylan, hi. Is Kelly there?

Sorry, Bren.
No, she's at

a power luncheon
with your brother.

I guess that's why he didn't
pick up his phone, either.

Something wrong, Bren?
Can I help?

No. I was just hoping that
Kelly could come and get me.

I guess I'm kind of stranded.

That's okay. Just tell me
where you're at, and I'll come.

It's not quite that simple.

Bren, it's not a problem.

Listen, I'll just take the bus.

Forget that I called, okay?

Would you stop it already?
Just tell me where you're at,

I'll jump in the car,
I'll come get you.

Palm Springs?

So, where's Kelly?

Talking with the chancellor.

Again?

Yes. When I left,

they were discussing
a hip birthday present

he could buy
for his teenage daughter.

That, of course, came after
their talk about Madonna--

goddess or fraud?

She's definitely
an asset, Brandon.

God, that was
so exciting.

I actually talked to
a Nobel Prize winner.

Talked to him?
You monopolized him.

Yeah, I did,
didn't I? Yes, you did.

Hmm.

You were terrific.

Thank you.
You know what?

I think you and I
make a good team.

I think so, too.

Whoever said all the
good ones were taken

obviously
never met you.

You've got to be the
best catch on campus.

Well...

The night is young, and we have
another party to go to.

Yeah, we do.

Shall we?

Sure.

Thanks for coming
to my rescue.

Hey, if I can't
do it, who can?

Good question.

Don't suppose you
want to talk about it.

It was going to be
a romantic weekend with Stuart.

I ended up seeing a side of him
I'd never seen before.

Remember when
we went to Baja,

and I made that
little mistake?

Little mistake?

Bren, you lost
your passport.

We were stuck at the
border for three hours.

But no matter
how bad things got,

you were
so understanding.

Ah.

We were able
to put it behind us,

even laugh about it.

We ended up
having a great time.

Yeah.
Yeah, we did.

Stuart can't do that.

I goofed,

and he just couldn't let it go.

It got pretty ugly.

It's definitely over between us.

Why is it that I can't keep
any relationship going

since I broke up with you?

I guess you've just got
to find the right guy.

No, I had the right guy,

then I lost him.

I've never really
gotten over you, Dylan.

How can I fall in love
with someone else

when I'm still in love with you?

Brend...

I know, I know.

It's not
that I-I don't love you.

It's just that you're not
in love with me.

Maybe I'm just feeling sorry
for myself

over this Stuart thing.

I'm really glad
we're still friends.

So am I.

So what do you say, we
join everybody at David's?

He's rechristening
the place.

Yeah.

All right.

Dinner's on!

Mmm! BRANDON: All right!

Thank you, sir.

Smells good.
What is it? Thanks.

Shish kabobs.

I like to think of them
as kind of

symbolic.

Each piece on each one
represents one of you guys.

Friends I know
I'll never forget.

And in case you're wondering,

I'm the tomato.

Well, in that
case, I'm the beef.

Hey, guys, you got the piano?

Yes, and David
is giving me lessons.

What about me?
I want lessons.

Uh, does that mean
what I think it means?

Yup.

Oh!

I'm moving back in.

It's time to take the
tough out of tough love.

Well, Dylan'll be happy
to hear that.

Where is he? He's supposed
to be here, isn't he?

Okay, a sparkling

cider toast.

To the new and improved

beach
apartment.

Hear, hear.
Hear, hear.

And to the Three Musketeers.

Oh!
Cheers.

Cheers.

Mmm.

Now for your dining pleasure,

Donna and I will
entertain you.

Oh, David, I only
know one song.

Ah, but it's a ditty.

Come on.

Oh, brother.

Let's do it.

Go ahead.
Yeah.

Let me guess.

You're going
to play a nocturne.

Mm.

Ready.

Ow!

Whoa, you guys having
a party or what?

Hey, guys.

Hi, guys.

I'm glad you're here.

Bren, aren't you supposed to be
in Palm Springs with Stuie?

Who?

Thank God Dylan
was nice enough

to bring me home.

Yeah, no problem.

I'm going to
get some food.

So, did you have a good time
at the chancellor's?

Mm. It was great.

So, is this why you're so
anxious for me to move out?

Yeah, right.

Why don't you
get some food?

I'm sure you're hungry
from your long... ride.

I tell you what, Bran.

If you ever feel the
need to borrow her again,

feel free.
