All language subtitles for Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) - S01E03 - Every Dream Has Its Price (Tag) (480p DVD x265 Panda)_track3_[eng]

BRENDA: Listen, Mom,
I hear what you're saying,

but it'll give me a chance
to spend some time with nature

and get out of those
smog-infested malls

that you're always
ranting about.

Yes, correctly so.

Of course, Mother,
the air here isn't really air.

But what could be healthier

than spending Friday night
riding horses through
Topanga Canyon?

And riding is
such super exercise.

Yeah, I know I've never
really been riding before,

but you're always saying
how girls should be
more adventurous.

So, Mom...

Whoa, whoa. Bren, Bren.

You're trotting down
the wrong path here.

You gotta hit Mom
where her soft-spot is.

You know, milk that
Mother Nature stuff.

"Mom. Mommy.

"Remember when we used to
hike in the woods
around Gull Lake

"when we were kids?

"I miss those times so much,

"and now I can
recapture them."

Perfect.

Just make it seem natural,
all right?

Not like we rehearsed it
or anything.

I won't.

Talk about that,
talk about anything,

but whatever you do,
do not talk about money.

Sorry, honey, but $120
is too much to spend on

a twilight horseback ride.

Water.

You know,
I'm not anybody here.

I have no clothes.

Seems to me
what you're wearing passes
the clothing definition test.

Honey, you know,
just because we live here

doesn't mean we take our cues
from these people.

I mean,
we're not their clones.

Relax, Mother.
I don't think you have
any worries in that area.

You're a unique
fashion statement here.

Yeah, Mrs. Green Jeans
moves to Beverly Hills.

Come on, Bren,
we gotta jet.

Typical. He oversleeps
and then he rushes me.

You know, honey,
if people only like you
for your appearance,

they don't really like you.

Don't dig
too deep here, Mom.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm sorry.
I don't speak Spanish.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm sorry, but someone
must have given you
the wrong address. Okay?

Okay.
Okay.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Your hat is so dope.
Where?

Where do you think? Here.

KELLY: Well, it looks
better on me.

Last night I saw you
in a Beemer.

Yeah, well,
my father bought it for me.

Ooh, is it a convertible?

Of course it is.
Can you conceive a top on me?

I didn't know she and Kelly
were such good friends.

Ex-such good friends.

From grade school.

I don't know
what to do, Jim.

She's already cleaning.

Wait a minute.
You mean there's a stranger
in our home?

CINDY: Take me off
the damn speakerphone.

Oh, hey, I know who she is.

Alan's wife mentioned
her cleaning lady

having a cousin
who needed work.

Thank you for including me
in on the decision.

It completely slipped my mind.

Well, it's interesting
what one chooses to forget.

Honey, I thought
you'd like it.

Everyone in Beverly Hills
has a maid.

Now you sound like Brenda.

So? Come on.

We had someone
clean the house
back in Minneapolis.

Well, but that was
only for a few hours a week,

and that was when I worked
at Mom's store.

I mean, that was
when I had a life

and friends and a world and...

And a phone that didn't
cut everybody off.

Jim! Jim!

Hi.

Les Miserables.

Sounds kind of miserable,
doesn't it?

(STUDENTS SNICKERING)

You've all seen
or you've heard
about the play.

Now I want you
to read the book.

It's got sex.

It's got crime.

One minuscule crime ruined
Jean Valjean's life.

What sentence
would you give someone

(TIFFANY GIGGLING)

for stealing bread to feed
his widowed sister
and starving family?

Brenda.

I think he should've gotten
a light sentence.
Definitely, for sure.

Wrong. At least
according to Hugo's judges.

He got 20 years.

That's true.

He tried to escape.
But wouldn't you,
from, uh, hard cells,

hardened criminals,
rats, roaches?

Hugo would be amused
to find that you consider
his work a comedy.

Tell me, what do you think
of Jean Valjean's crime?

Uh, I say
let them eat cake.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

Our own little
local Marie Antoinette
raises a good point.

You see,
it's very hard for us
in the golden ghetto

to understand
that kind of need.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Okay. Papers due on Monday.

Remember, I want you
to explore how

one decision, one event,

can change one's whole life.

So whose Beemer
should we take?

Hey, Tiff!

That was really funny,
what you said.

Who was trying to be funny?

Hey, wait up, you guys.

DJ: Male, female,
root our school.

West Beverly team against
Beverly High, don't fail!

And don't get lured
by that sweet,
sweet nitro sale.

S-S-S-Sale. Sale, sale.

Sale? Are you there?

Sure. Why not?

TIFFANY: Spend hard.

You wanna come?

Oh, um...
Here.

I can't really buy.

My American Express,
I left home without it.

No money. Just fun.

Okay.
Okay?

Here.

I'll see you in class, okay?

You're job hunting?

How un-Beverly Hills.

Is that good or bad?

From me? Good, I guess.

I'm just doing my bit
for car insurance, you know.

Any hot leads?

Oh, I got, uh,
Garden Graphics,

Veggie Heaven Produce,
This Town Restaurant.

We're talking slam dunk here.

Yeah. Well, good luck, eh?

Thanks.

Well, you don't have
much experience.

I understand.

You don't have to explain.
It's okay, really.

Hey, babe, I know
my restauranteur rights.

When can you start?

I'm sorry
I took up your time.

Didn't you hear me?
I said yes.

You said yes?

Yes, I said yes!

Don't make me rethink it.

No, no, don't!
Don't rethink it.

Don't...
Don't think about anything.

Overkill, hon.

Ah.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

"Inverted nipple trouble."

Pass.

"Are you always
attracted to losers?

"Here's how to
break the cycle."

Here is the cycle.

Trust me, dude.
They'll drool over this.

Are you sure, Steve?
Yeah.

KELLY:
Oh, finally found somebody

your own maturity level
to hang with, Steve?

Oh, hey, Tiff.
How is that waterbed?

Kelly and Tiffany
got nuclear over Steve.

Details, please.

But it was intense fallout.

They just started
speaking this semester
in English class.

Tiff has always
been so subtle.

Yeah.

Ooh, this is death.
100% silk.

Bren, you have to have it.
Come on.

Kelly,
do you really think one event
can change your whole life?

Sure, like in Pretty Woman?

Sorry, Julia Roberts,

but I would have
worn this on the plane
with Richard Gere.

No, I mean
like what Miss Rye
was talking about.

One thing you do
ruining your entire life.

I don't know. Forget it.

Maybe it wasn't ruined.

Maybe he wanted it that way.

RYE: One decision, one event,

can change one's whole life.

(SIGHING)

Let's get out of here, okay?

Yeah. Cool with moi.

I'm just gonna
get these five things.

Do you like them?

Yeah, I like them.

Hey, wait up.

I'm not buying
anything, either.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(GREETING IN SPANISH)

She's back.

What do you mean, who? Anna.

Honey, I'm in overdrive here.

I've got 10K's flying.
Can't you deal with it?

Can't I deal with it?
Yes, I can deal with it.

I told her not to come.

Oh, Jim!

(PHONE GOES DEAD)

Ma Bell, where are you?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Great for a grandma.

Oh, pathetic.

This Town?
That is the nitro restaurant.

And I'm a nitro guy.

Oh, dude,
you scored a sweet job.
If you're into jobs.

What, This Town?
Yeah, it's all right.
I ate there opening night.

Delicious cumin.

Delicious tips, I hope.

They hired you as a waiter?

I guess. I don't know.

She said she was
going on instinct.

Instincts, I'll bet.
Of the "get busy" kind?

Hey, come on,
I'm a waiter, not a lover.

(GIGGLING)

Do you remember
Jake kissed like a wall?

Oh, my God, yeah.
But he was better
than The Lizard.

Remember?

Oh, that's gross.

Hey.
Hey. Cool dress.

Yeah, it's a kick for sure.

(HUMMING)

RYE: How nice of you
to model for us.

Miss Rye?

Yeah.

Um, I was just wondering
who's more guilty,

someone like in Les Mis
who didn't want to steal,
but had to?

Or someone who wanted to,
but didn't?

That's an interesting
moral twister.

Um, and we'll get to that.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
Now.

Uh, coffee?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I hope it's not too strong.

Oh, no. Gracias, miss.

Oh, call me Cindy.

Okay.

DAVID: And here are
our female mounties.

DAVID: What do you
have to say, girls?
BRENDA: Nothing.

DAVID: Okay.

(DAVID EXCLAIMS)

Who's hiding behind
that video camera?

Uh, uh, David Silver.

Well, David Silver,

my name is Tiffany Morgan,
and I know what you
really wanna see.

Oh, my God. Hurt me.

What a show.

Yeah, sometimes.

Some of her reruns
aren't so dope, though.

Why were you guys ex-friends?

She was just too wild,
kind of a troublemaker,
before.

Giddyup. We're gonna lose out
on the best in the west.

Sorry you can't come, Bren.
Tiff, you in?

Uh, No, I gotta
exchange some stuff.

Besides, four-legged
creatures don't interest me.

Yeah, me neither.

You wanna go hang at Nitro?

Yeah.

I mean, sure,
okay, if you want.

Great.

We'll, uh, stop by
your place on the way.

It's loco, but I can't
seem to watch somebody
working without helping.

You comprende?

I'm not a lady of leisure.

That's why I'm uncomfortable
having you here.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I mean, not you.
Just the idea of you.

Jim likes the image of you.

You know, I have to say,
image is very important
to my daughter, also.

Well, at her age...

BRENDA: Hey.
Oh, hi, honey.

That's my mom.

Which one?

We're going upstairs.

Are you sure
you don't want a snack?

You'll never see my mom
with a cleaning utensil
in her hand.

You'll never see
my mom at all.

Oh!

This is cozy.

I just had my room redone.

I'm in my black period.

Cool.

Les Miserables, what a kick.

Oh, yeah, they make
the CliffsNotes so long,

you might as well
read the book.

I'd never steal.

Would you?

I don't think so.

So, is it all right
if I just stash
some stuff here?

I--I don't feel like
lugging it around.

Sure.

What's wrong?

You're 15 minutes early.

Yeah, well,
I--I didn't wanna be late

or get stuck in
Friday traffic hell.

I can handle that.

Let's get busy.

But there are
no customers yet.

Let me see your hands.

Perfect.
We've gotta get them
into tight places.

Listen, I'm supposed
to be a waiter.

Oh, darling, you're not
waiter material yet.

You're gonna work in the back
with Yuri and Chang.

I think I'll
start you on cumin.

See if you can
get those big hands
into that little jar.

(SIGHS)

Well, I gotta start somewhere.

Only Catherine the Great
would pick a horse
over shopping.

So, you and Kelly
were best friends?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, for two years.

Then she got
super-possessive
and boring.

I had a best friend
in Minneapolis
since 5th grade.

We used to go over
to each other's houses
every weekend

and spend the night.

You're really
from the real world.

We were just here yesterday.

Well, that's the fun.

Going back.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

Brandon, table four.
All right.

Brandon, I need you first.

My new crumber.

Ain't he a piece of work?

This job's a bitch.

No kidding, man.

She canned and pickled Julio
right before you rode in.

Ah, now I know
why she hired me.

She hires, she fires,
a la carte. No benefits.

So, what's our
share of the tips?

Tips?

Welcome to the third-world
labor force, buddy.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)
Why do they charge
so much for these things?

Freeway robbery.
Here, let me see.

And what is the point
of wearing this?

Who cares about points?

The point is risk.

Hey, would you
do me a favor?

Would you, um,
ask the salesgirl
for a larger size?

Yeah, sure.
Thanks.

Excuse me.

Yeah, may I help you?

Yeah, my friend
needs a larger size.

Hey, hold it right there!

What?
That one.

Give me the bag.
And she's in on it, too.

Me?

WOMAN:
You're really in trouble now.

"The Labor Day barbecue
was a bore without you.

"Are the parties
like Down and Out
in Beverly Hills?

"Please don't forget
your old pal, Paula."

Party hearty.

I'm beat.

People work hard out here
for their zillions.

Yeah. Puritan ethic
goes Beverly Hills,

leaving me to
fend for myself.

JIM: I know, honey.

It's been an adjustment.

It's quiet now
without the kids.

Kind of nice.

(MOANS)

It's good the kids
have new lives.

Oh, those girls.

They're 16 going on 30.

Tiffany had shifty eyes.

That's what your father
said about me.

Well, you did.
Shifty bedroom eyes.

Okay, girls,
I'm gonna call your parents.

Well, mine aren't home.

We'll see.

How could you do this to me?

Aren't you being
just a little self-centered?

You're the genius
that flagged me
to the salesgirl.

I can't believe
I'm hearing this.

Oh, would you relax?

They've only got
10 minutes to take us
to the police station,

or else we can sue.

False imprisonment.

Great.
I'm in here with a pro.

Brenda, you know
I stole that vest for you.

Excuse me,
but that just is not true.

You were just too afraid
to do it yourself.

I don't wanna hear it.

I saw
the look in your eye.

Hey, I understand.

It's the only time
I feel alive.

And I could buy anything.

My heart bleeds.

Don't talk to me.

Okay.
I won't talk to you.

I'll talk to the owner.

But if you wanna
get out of here, Brenda,
just play along.

What's this?

Oh, honey, no, that's...
Oh, you old softie.

Oh, honey, how thoughtful.

Well... Sweetie,
it's a little roomy.

(CHUCKLING)
Actually, it's for me.

I've got tennis tomorrow
at a client's.

I'm really in trouble,
aren't I?

Yeah.

(DOOR THUDDING)

God, you're working later
than your father.

(GROANS) I'm burnt.

And I gotta clock
in again tomorrow.

(GROANING)

I remember,
back in the Stone Age,

I used to work two jobs
in high school.

(GROANS)

Yeah, we know, Dad.

And you walked miles
through the snow,
kept up the old A average,

carried your team to glory.

All right, wise guy.

I'm proud about your job.

Well, I'm exhausted, too.

It's not easy keeping up
with Anna's pace.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

It's gotta be Brenda.

"Hi, it's me.
I'm at this
really sweet movie,

"and there's, like,
these two really cool guys,

"and they're with
my ex-friend's best friend."

Ah, I'll get it.

Yeah?

Yes, this is he.

That's impossible.

I'll be right down.

It's Brenda.
They caught her shoplifting.

CINDY: Oh, no.
JIM: Oh, yes.

It's gotta be
that--that Tiffany girl
you were talking about.

You knew she was trouble,
Cindy.

Why'd you let Brenda
go with her?

Don't put this on me!
It's this place.

It's all this
appearance garbage.

It's contagious.

Hey, hey, hey,
where's your faith, guys?

Brenda wouldn't steal.

She's the one who made you
take her back to St. Paul

when she forgot to pay
for her Barbie doll,
remember?

I'm serious.

That was before
Beverly Hills.

Look, there's been
a huge misunderstanding.

I mean,
why would I possibly steal?

OWNER: I don't know
what it is with you kids.

Listen, I can show you
$1,500 worth of bills

that I personally
have spent in your store
in the last month.

My parents build
shopping centers.

Why would I steal?

I have every single gold card.

(CLEARING THROAT)

Listen, why don't I just
pay like I always do,
like I intended,

and you and I will just
delete this whole thing?

Your choice.

Well, it's not worth
wasting a day in court.

It's lucky for you
the store owner
didn't press charges.

Brenda, what really happened?

It was a big misunderstanding,
like he said.

You don't sound
so convinced to me.

I didn't do
anything wrong, I swear.

Okay. Okay, honey.

If you say so,
we believe you.

It was so awful.

I'm so ashamed you guys
had to come down here
and pick me up.

Can we please just forget it?

Let's bury it.

Account closed.

Mom?

Let's just go home.

Hey, Jim!
Can we drop the power
and just walk?

I like this.

You know, honey,
I'm gonna get you
a warm-up suit, too.

Well, frankly,
it's not my style.

And besides,
my sweats are so beat up,
they're even trendy.

Stealable.

Honey, I thought
we put that to bed.

Well, what if
she did steal?

Kids steal. It's a phase.

You know,
getting away with something.

I was always afraid
I'd get caught.

I have to confess,
I once took a can opener
from J.C. Penney.

I want a divorce.

People with money
are the worst thieves of all.

You should see
some of my clients' books.
I don't believe it.

No, it's true.
How do you think
they got rich?

No, no, Jim, I mean Anna.

JIM: What's she doing here
on a Saturday?

This has got to stop.

Be kind.

Hi.

I cook you dinner.

(EXCLAIMS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Kelly, why didn't you tell me
she's a klepto?

We used to take
a little stuff
in the 8th grade,

but I--I could never
wear anything I took.

I could never
take anything, but...

No, with Tiff,
it's like she had to do it.

I mean, she stole everything.

Including Steve.

Your Steve?

Yeah, but it was
the way she did it.

I mean,
she wasn't interested in him,

just the idea of
taking him, you know?

Klepto, nympho, all the O's.

(BUSY TONE BEEPING)

Perfect.
An antisocial cordless.

Mom, the phones
are down again!

CINDY: Wonderful.

Feeling better this morning?

Les miserable, c'est moi.

How could Tiff
use me like that?

You know, maybe
I should have told on her,
but I just couldn't do it.

Hey, hey, it's over now.

We new kids in town
sure get a raw deal.

It doesn't just
go for the kids.

These guys I work with,
Vietnamese, Israelis,

they're like Grandpa was,
coming here with no money.

They get
completely exploited.

Well, look in our own home,
with Mom hiring Anna.

Yeah, but you can bet
Mom pays her fairly.

These guys at my job
are working for pine nuts.

Well, can't they do
anything about it?

I don't know.

But you know what?
They'll be fine.

And so will you.

So, what are
my options again?

Call forwarding,
call waiting...

You know, I'd settle
for call finishing.

What do you mean,
I'm lucky to get
a phone number?

No, it's true, Mom.

When Kelly got her car phone,
they didn't have
a number for her.

With all the cellulars,
they're bottoming out.
Mmm-hmm.

Miss Cindy? I wash?

I forgot about those.

CINDY: I wonder
if the store did, too.

Uh, I have to call you back.

Mom!

Mom, if you'd
really think that of me,
you don't know who I am.

Brenda,
what am I supposed to think?

Anna found this
in your closet.

Tell me what to think,
please.

I could tell you,
but I shouldn't have to.

And I'm not going to.

Just go ahead
and think the worst of me.

What you did tell me was
how much you wanted things.

I mean, that's all I heard,
how everybody else
has everything.

Look.

It's okay.

You went overboard.

We can deal with this,

but we just have to be
straight with each other.

You know what? You're right.

I did want things.

It has been
so hard for me here.

Everyone here has
known everybody forever.

All I wanted is to
blend in like I used to.

And not only won't you
give me money,

but then you go
and you get a maid!

Look.

She needs the money
more than we do,
and she works for her money.

Sorry, Mom. I am not Anna.

I am not Brandon.
I'm not perfect!

Well, neither am I!
You know it's been
hard for me, too.

I don't have my friends here.

At least Anna is someone
that I can talk with.

Maybe not with, but...

Why would you need
three identical skirts?

I mean, you left
all the price tags on, honey.

Maybe you wanted
to get caught.

You know what I wanted?

I'll tell you.

I wanted to steal.
I wanted to steal, Mom!

Calm down.
No, you calm down!

I went into the store.

I saw this gorgeous vest.

It was so much!

It could have been so easy,
but I didn't do it.
I couldn't.

You know what else?

You don't know me at all!

Brenda!

(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

Sorry.

You're 10 minutes sorry,
Brendon.

It's Brandon.
Traffic was surreal.

How many times
do they redo the streets
around here anyway?

CATHY: Don't worry,
Mr. Early-come-lately.

We'll just dock
your paycheck.

This sucks.
I was 15 minutes
early yesterday.

Well, don't you know?
This Town is so cool,
you gotta pay them to work.

Brendon,
social hour is finito.

Chang!

Never put round cups
with round saucers!

Well, Chang,

just gonna have to
take you out back and have
the style police shoot you.

(CHUCKLES)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Why didn't you bring
the stuff over here
instead of my house?

Look,
what was I supposed to do?

Bring the clothes here.

No way.

Oh, it's a crazy notion,
I grant you.

I guess you don't
have enough room.

Very funny.

You know, my parents
already want to dump me
in a Swiss boarding school.

It's easier for you.

Your mom's
the work-it-out type.

Like you know
or care so much about me.

Why do you take
all those things, Tiffany?
You have so much.

You think so?

You know,

once, on this
student trip to Rome,

I saw this cool wall painted
so it looked like a column.

Trompe l'oeil.

Fools the eye.

It just looks like
there's something.

It's the same here.

There's nothing.

No one.

Your folks aren't home?

Folks.

They're, um,
launching a shopping center
in Boca Raton.

They're never here.

But it's cool, you know?

I can do whatever I want.

You sure do.

Who are they?

They're just dudes
who use the premises.

Look, you wanna hang out
and take a hot tub?

Forget about your mom.

You don't get it, do you?

Because I didn't tell on you,
my mom thinks I'm a thief.

You can laugh if you want to,
but her opinion
really matters to me.

Why don't you just go
back to mommy, Brenda?

Just go back to Minneapolis,
all right?

Fine.

Table five wants you.

I'll bet he does.

I have to think
about my career.

There's an agent
at table seven.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

She's en route.

Brendon, crumbers do not
talk to customers.

Brandon,
is there any possibility

you could clear my table
before the Second Coming?

DYLAN: Yo, boy!

Hey.
Hey.

"This Town.

"This Town is
eating experience for
the morning moments,

"a medley of sage,
cumin bouquets

"and fragrant
vegetable jewels."

(SNORING)

(SNICKERING)

Many people
would love your job.

Yeah. Love that minimum wage.

You get minimum wage?

Congratulations, man.

Yeah, right. Same to you.

None of us do.

That's illegal.

So? Who's gonna do anything?

Listen...
I loathe apologies.

Make it up to me, Brendon.
The cumins need filling.

It's Brandon. Brandon Walsh.

I'm an
investigative reporter for
the West Beverly newspaper.

And you can laugh
if you want,

but a lot of parents
read that paper and eat here.

But they won't, not anymore.
Not after I tell them

how you scam your help
for under minimum wage!

So you can take your cumin
and you can shove it.

Take a load off, Minnesota.

Dinner delectable?
It's on me.

Free at last.
Free at last.

Thank God Almighty.

Excuse me.
Uh, could I get a round cup
and a round saucer?

And I'd like it before
the Second Coming, please.

Come on,
now let's get out of here.

Done deal.
I know just the place.

We're out of here.

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING
ON JUKEBOX)

The job wasn't just to support
my car insurance habit.

My dad's always worked.

He sounds as bonkers as me.

I was 10 when I worked
my first bit character part
in an old Bogie flick.

Yeah, now there was a real pro
with a sweet tooth.

Now I know why you dragged me
all the way out here.

Best pie in LA.
Real food for real people.

Here's to real cups
and real saucers.

Take it or leave it.

What I like is you get
a real cross-section
of people, you know?

Listen. Uh...

Dylan here's been
bugging me about hiring
someone to help me out.

I figured who would be
nuts enough to want this bit?

Take you.
You look nuts enough.

Take me. I'm nuts enough!

I'll vouch for that.

I'll even waive
my commission.

So when do I start?

How about right now?

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hello.

Uh, Brenda's
upstairs studying.

That's okay.
I just came over here to
get the stuff I left here.

Um, you know, the goods,

the contraband
with price tags.

Remember?

I take it these are going back
where they came from.

Tiffany.

I know I'm not your mother.

That's right. You're not.

But I think maybe you should
talk to someone about this.

My parents don't
really have time, you know.

They--They just kind of
off me on shrinks.

I gotta go.

I just wanted to tell you
that it was me, not Brenda.

Your daughter's really cool.

You ought to
tell her to stay away
from people like me.

Maybe you're not as bad
as you wanna be.

Why don't you try stealing
your parents' attention?

Yeah, that's what
my shrink thinks
I'm trying to do.

Maybe a more direct approach
would work better.

You know, those malls,
they're so overstocked,

they don't even
miss the stuff.

But if everyone
thought that way,
there'd be nothing left.

Nowhere to shop.

Now that's scary.

Thanks, Tiff.

(BALL THUDDING)

Hey. I got a real job.

Brandon,
we already discussed this.

Ah, the other gig
was a false start.

How'd your day pan out?

Oh, very cool.

I was accused,
un-accused, self-accused.

Fought with Mom,
lost a friend.

But you know,
I finished reading
a really good book.

"Jean Valjeen stole for..."

Uh, Valjean, Brandon.

"Jean Valjean
stole for hunger.

"Others steal for
different kinds of hunger.

"There's the hunger to belong.

"Many of us have
had the urge,

"but Jean Valjean acted
on his impulses."

And there is a difference
between the two, honey.

Your paper's beautiful.

It's homework, Mom.

Homework is
definitely not beautiful.

Well, I'm sorry
I jumped to conclusions.

I know you
well enough to trust you.

You, on the other hand...

Please, I'm reading.

(CLEARING THROAT)

"There's emotional hunger.

"Those people
need understanding.

"They can show greatness
and not let other people
take the rap.

"There are
all kinds of hunger."

Mine is the biggest
hunger of them all.

They had
the chintziest little,

you couldn't even
call them sandwiches,
at that tennis thing.

CINDY:
California lean cuisine.

I missed you there, honey.

Well, you missed a lot.

You know, there is Anna's
melting-pot mystery meat.
Hmm.

Did you try it?

I was so upset,
I skipped dinner.

Me, too.
Stress diet. I like it.

Oh, don't even
talk to me about food.

I ate at both my jobs.

You did?

I had two jobs today.

Drove through
miles of concrete.

Miles of concrete.
Way to go, Brandon.

Way to go, Anna.
