All language subtitles for Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) - S01E16 - Fame Is Where You Find It (480p DVD x265 Panda)_track3_[eng]

Okay, you guys. Ready?

Let's go.

Looking for something?

What's it to you?

Don't make me
turn you in, Kirk.

Well, don't make me use this.

I'll do it.
I swear I'll do it.

You want to cut me?
Go ahead.

But you know that
won't solve anything.

Oh, God, you have
so much to live for.

Don't throw it all away.

Not now. Not like this.

Cut! Print.

Beauty.

Is that what you
had in mind, Jake?

Lydia, that was a killer.

That was pure
gooseflesh time.
Oh, yes.

Jake, we're in trouble.

The kid you cast
as the surfer dude,

he's in the hospital
with food poisoning.

Great. My doctor
wonders why I have
high blood pressure.

We could reschedule.

This is not Shakespeare here.

This is some crummy
little scene we're doing.

Any jerk off the street
can do this.

Like who?

Hey, how about that kid?

Excuse me.

Uh, are you SAG
by any chance?

Uh, what?

Are you a member
of the Screen Actors Guild?

(LAUGHS)
No, I'm not an actor. Sorry.

Do you want to be?

I haven't really
thought about it. Why?

Well, we're down here
shooting an episode of
Keep It Together.

The TV show?
Oh, my sister's
addicted to it.

Yeah. We're in
kind of a jam.

One of our day players
didn't show, and if you could

spare an hour or two,
it'd be worth your while.

What do I have to do?

(CLEARS THROAT)

You go up to
the girls and say,

"Hey, babe, looking good.
Real good, babe."

I get paid for this?

(MEN CHATTERING)

MAN: All right.

Is this make-up?

So they tell me.

Well, I need, uh, more
of a tan or less of a tan.
I don't know.

Are you working today?

Yeah, if you can
call this work.

Thanks.

So, think you can do
something with this mug?

Oh, I can certainly try.

My sister'd die
if she knew where I was.

Oh, really? Why?

She's the actress
in the family,
or wants to be.

Every once in a while
I catch her
thanking the Academy.

(LAUGHING)

For some strange reason
Keep It Together is
still her favorite show.

Oh, not yours, huh?

Well, I haven't
checked it out lately,
like, since I was about 10.

But it used to be
one of those
squeaky-clean shows

where by some miracle
every problem got solved

just in time for
the last commercial.

You sound like the critics.

Hey, no offense,

but as far as I can tell,
the only good thing about
the show is Lydia Leeds.

Anyone ever tell you
you kind of look like her?

All the time.

Wait a second, are you...

Lydia, rehearsal!

Tell them I'll be
just a minute.

I have to finish...
What's your name?

Brandon. Brandon Walsh.

Mr. Walsh's highlights.

And I didn't do his lips yet.

All right, here's the scene.

You skate by,
you notice Lydia,

and so you stop,
you come back,

and then you say your line,

uh, "Hey, babe,
I like your looks,
yadda yadda."

But then, you have to
hold for a count of three.

Can you handle that?

Uh...
Good.

All right people,
let's try this!

Everybody quiet, please!

Roll sound!

Marker.

JAKE: Action!

Bye! See you later.

Hey, babe, looking good.

Real good, babe.

Really?

Cut! That was terrific.

JAKE: All right, print.

You know, this kid
is as good-looking as Sean.

And the princess
seems to like him.

Yeah.

BRANDON: So, here I totally
ragged on her show,

and she didn't even
hold it against me.

In fact, she was
really cool about it.

I cannot believe
that you're going to be
on Keep It Together.

Oh, Paula is gonna flip.

(PHONE RINGING)
I'll get it.

So, what was it like?

It was fun.

I don't know if I'd
want to do it every day.

I would.

It's for you.
The production office.

Oh, yeah, I think I forgot
to sign a form before I left.

Hey, tell them that
you have a twin sister.

So which one is
Keep It Together?

Oh, you know,
it's the one about

that cute little
orphan girl, Flipper.

Mom, it's Skipper,
and she's not
an orphan anymore.

She finally got adopted by
the Carswell-Smythe family.

Sorry. Sheesh.

Great. I'll, I'll be there.

So, is there
a part for Brenda in it?

Actually, they have
a part for me.

Yeah, right.

I'm not kidding.

(LAUGHING)

He has all the luck.
It is so sickening.

And now the producers
love him.

I mean, they're writing
new scenes for him.

Are you serious?

Yeah, he's like this
new guest star
in their next episode,

and Lydia Leeds is
his new best friend.

Oh, she used to be
really sweet,

but I bet she's
totally stuck-up now.

You know her?

Mmm. We were all in
the 5th grade together.

This is so poetically unjust.

I mean, he gets
to miss school and everything,

and he doesn't even
like the show.

Oh, well, I bet he does now.

I need a bubble bath.

Brenda, listen,
there was one little thing

I was hoping you could
help me out with.

I need someone to cover
for me at the Peach Pit.

Someone I trust to
give me the job back

after this acting thing
plays itself out.

So, in other words,
while you get to be
on TV with Lydia Leeds,

I get to serve pie to the...

What did you
call them last week?

Oh, yes,
the "tightwads of America."

Come on, Bren.
The tips aren't
usually that bad,

and it's really an easy job.

Oh, that's why
you always come home
exhausted and smelly.

Besides,
Nat wouldn't even hire me.

I mean, I don't have
any experience.

Let me worry
about Nat, okay?

No, you better
worry about finding
a different replacement.

You know, Bren,
I told them about you,
but they needed a guy.

Of course they need a guy.

Don't you ever read TV Guide?

Sean Judson is
leaving the show
over a salary dispute.

Well, I'm no Sean Judson.

You said it, I didn't.

Come on, Bren,
can't you do me a favor?

And what will you do for me?

Okay, okay. How about this?

You're always complaining
about how you don't have
enough room in here.

You can have
the top two drawers.

Well, that's a start.

What else do you want?

I want your green shirt.

My green shirt?

The one shirt
in the whole world

that I own
that I really love?

That green shirt?

That's the one.
Take it or leave it.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)

NAT: There you go.

Thanks.
You're welcome.

I knew from the first night
you walked in with Dylan.

I said to myself,
"Nat, this kid's a comer."

Didn't I say that, Sal?

Nat, it's only a small part.

There are no small parts,
only small actors.

So what about Brenda here?

Well, she obviously got
all the looks in the family.

Are you sure you want
to have dishpan hands?

Well...
Oh, she'll be great, Nat.

The customers will love her.

Sure you can handle it, doll?

Hey, it'll only be
for a couple of days.

A week at the most,
maybe two.

Wait a minute,
don't sell yourself short.

You don't know
what it's gonna be.

Your career could take off.

His career? What career?

The important thing
for you to remember
is when you're a star,

don't let all
the Hollywood hoopla
go to your head.

There's no need to
worry about that.

I know who I am.

Brandon Walsh,
a regular kind of guy
from Minnesota,

and nothing's gonna
change that at all.

(BRENDA GIGGLES)

It'll just be a couple
of routine questions,

like, "What's your
favorite color"

or "What'd you have
for breakfast this morning?"

I really think it's premature
to be interviewing me, David.

Okay, well,
we'll do it next period.

David, don't be ridiculous.

I worked for one day.
I said one line.

West Beverly is loaded
with kids who grew up
in the industry.

But none of them have
worked with Lydia Leeds.

Then why don't you
interview her?

Well, can you get her
to come on my show?

I'll put in a good
word for you, okay?

Thanks, big guy. Ciao.

Let's hear it
for Brandon Walsh
for landing a role

on the hit series
Keep It Together,

starring Lydia
"The Love Cat" Leeds.

A boffo socko match
in the making.

This one's for you, big guy.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC
PLAYING ON PA SYSTEM)

Hey, Bran, who's your agent?

Give me a break.

It looks to me like
you already got one.

Forget the agent.
What you need is a bodyguard.

Is this weird or what?

They won't stampede,
will they?

Only if they smell fear.

What are we gonna do?

Brenda, how hard can it be?

The fork goes on the left,
the knife and spoon
go on the right,

and the napkins
go in the dispenser.

Yeah, well,
maybe you should be
filling in for Brandon.

Ah, speak of the devil.

This is so unfair.

You know, I'm the one
with all the talent.

I'm the one who used to
dance around the living room
singing show tunes.

Oh, I did that, too,
but I was always off key.

I was even thinking
of putting together
a stand-up comedy routine.

I would die first.
You'd be so exposed.

But you play somebody else.

(IN BRITISH ACCENT)
You're a character.

And you're not really you.
Do you see what I mean?

Like, wow, like, for sure,
it's, like, totally radical.

That's great.
Do some more.

Okay, okay. Um...

(IN NEW YORK ACCENT)
Oh, quit busting my chops.

I'm sick of
sitting around here

jawboning with you guys,
you know what I mean?

KELLY: Stop.

(KELLY AND DONNA LAUGHING)

Last week they didn't
even know I was alive.

Last week
you weren't hanging out
with Lydia Leeds.

What's the big deal?
You guys know her.

Uh, knew her.

Show biz kids live
in their own little world.

Yeah, well,
that'll never happen to me.

Brandon,
your limousine's here.

Take care of these
for me, would you?

(GIRLS CLAMORING)

GIRL 1:
Oh, it's Lydia Leeds!

Hi, Brandon.

GIRL 2: He's so lucky. Wow!

Hi, Lydia.

Don't forget.
Soak the puppy chow
really well.

He likes it soft and mushy.

There you go.

Oh, my doggie's
only six weeks old.

I miss him so much.

How many of those
do you think you've signed
in your life?

About six gadjillion.

Doesn't it bother you,
people just coming up to you?

It would bother me
if they didn't.

TOURIST: You mind?
Oh, not at all.

Oh, no, y-you don't
want my autograph.

Come on, Brandon,
better get used to it.

What are you talking about?
You don't get it, do you?

With Sean being
written out of the show,

you could be
a recurring character.

I thought people were
supposed to pound
the pavement for years

before they got
a break like this.

Don't you believe in fate?

You were at the right place
at the right time.

And that's it?

And you got a good look.

But it's not for sure, right?

Let me put it this way,

I don't make a habit
of giving people rides
to the set.

Need some help with that?

Okay, here we are.

Now... Thank you.

It's a party in
the next room.
You see each other,

you want each other,
you get each other.

Now, I want it juicy,
but not, not too juicy.

Big, but not over-the-top.

But lots of heat.
Got to feel the heat.

Make me sweat.

Okay, let's do it.

Roll sound! Speed.

Marker.

JAKE: And action.

I was hoping you'd be here.

Cut! Print.
That was brilliant. Perfect.

Don't change a thing.

All right,
let's do another one.

If it was perfect,
why are we doing it again?

Jake likes to get
a lot of coverage.

And action!

I was hoping you'd be here.

Cut. Print.

JAKE: Action!

I was hoping you'd be here.

Wait, Brandon's
stepping on my toe.
Sorry.

Cut!

I was hoping you'd be here.

Cut.

It was terrible.

Marker.

Cut.

That was nice.

Mark.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut.

Print. That's a wrap.

Good work, Lydia.
That was very nice.

Thanks.

Well, I could
get used to this.

So could I.

Anyway, the director said
I was a natural.

Honey, that's great.
Are you working tomorrow?

Yeah, but I got a late call.

You know,
they shoot these things
out of order.

And every scene has a number.

It's very complicated.

Yes, well, not as fascinating
as one would've thought.

Excuse me, I have to go
change and get grubby now.

Hey, say hi to Nat for me.

Oh, I got to
get changed, too.

Brandon, I don't think
you should be going out
to a party on a weeknight.

Dad, it's not a party.

It's a networking thing.

It's a place where
a lot of young actors

go to get away
from the crowds

and the media and stuff.

Don't you have to
get ready for tomorrow?

I got my lines down.

What about school?

Dad, I told you,
they have a teacher on set.

She's very scholastic.

She's writing a spec script
for Twin Peaks.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Is that Lydia?

She's early
and I'm not ready.

Stall.

I'll go get the camera.

(CLEARS THROAT)

That's my drawer.

God. C-Can I borrow
one of your combs?

No.

So, you want me to
introduce you to Lydia?

Don't do me any favors.

Fine. Just let Mom
and Dad embarrass me.

You mean she's here?

Lydia Leeds is here?
Downstairs? In this house?

Yeah.

Go talk to her, will you?

What do I say to her?

Brenda,
she's just a regular person.

Oh, my business manager
used to be with
Hartley and Mather, too.

Really? What's his name?

Joey Merlis.

I've met him, I've met him.

CINDY:
Jim, where's the film
for the camera?

This is Brandon's
better half.

Brenda, this is Lydia.

I know that, Dad.

CINDY: Jim.

Oh, excuse me.
Nice to meet you.

Oh, bye.

Hi.

Hello.

Uh, so we have
a friend in common.

Oh, who's that?

Kelly Taylor.

Who?

From elementary school?

Kelly Taylor? Donna Martin?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, right, right.

So, uh, Brandon tells me
that you have some
acting aspirations.

Well, yeah, I was Juliet
in Romeo and Juliet.

In stock?

No, 7th grade.

Oh.

Not that what you do
when you're 12 years old
really matters that much.

When I was 12 years old,
I got my second
TV Guide cover,

and my first
Golden Globe Award.

Well, I can't
top that now, can I?

Sorry. Hi.
Hi.

Oh, I love your shirt.

Thanks.

(COUNTRY MUSIC
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

WOMAN: Miss!

Excuse me, did you order
the cheeseburger, medium-well

with no onions
or the grilled cheese
with bacon and tomato?

I ordered soup.

Of course.
I'll be right back.

Miss. Miss, I asked
for some water, please.

Right. Water on four.

Brenda, I need
a set-up on eight.

Right. Set-up on eight.

Ketchup on seven.

Sure. Ketchup on seven.

Right, okay.
All right, here we go.

All right, water on four.

Set-up on eight
and ketchup on seven.

That's water on four,
set-up on ketchup,
and seven on eight...

Brenda!
What?

How are you doing?
You're okay?

Great. I'm great.

Good. Pick up your order,
'cause it's ready. Come on.

(WHISPERING) Just great.

Okay, all right.

(GASPING)

Okay, sir, here we go.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi, honey.

You know, I keep thinking
everyone in here
looks familiar,

but then I realize,
of course they are,
they're all on TV.

Oh, Peter Bremmer.

Wasn't he on Kibbee and Me?

He was, but the show
got canceled.

He's so depressed,
it's pathetic.

Hi, Lydia.

Hi, Mackenzie.

So, who's the new
flavor-of-the-week?

Very funny, Mackenzie.

Have fun while it lasts.

Goodbye, Mackenzie.

You just met
the luckiest girl
in this town.

And the only reason
she has a career
is because her uncle

is, like,
this really big producer.

Let me ask you something.

Is there anybody
here you like?

You know, you don't
strike me like a kid from
Beverly Hills High School.

Well, maybe that's because
I go to West Beverly.

Listen, I hope
I didn't come off

like too much of
a rank amateur today.

At what, acting or kissing?

Well, I've been told
I know how to kiss.

Well, I'd have to
agree with that.

But it's so strange
to do it with all those
people looking at you.

Yeah. You know,
my first kiss ever was
on the show four years ago.

Really?

Yeah, with Sean, in fact.
And every talk show host

kept asking me about it.

It was so embarrassing.

I would've told them
to take a flyer.

You can't do that
if you want to be
loved by the public.

Is that what you want?

What I want is to be
respected as an actress,

and to feel satisfied
with myself as a person

when this whole
roller coaster ride
comes to an end.

That's very insightful.

Thanks.
My publicist wrote it.

(LAUGHING)

You want to dance?

Absolutely.
Come on.

So what do you do
with your free time?

Well, I don't have
much free time.

...on Saturday.

Then I play hockey on Sunday.

Would you do me a favor?
What?

Yeah. Yes, I would.

Why don't you ask me
if I'd like to go
watch sometime, all right?

Yeah. If you want to.

Hi, Sean.
What's up?

Lydia's here
with your competition.

It's definitely better
without those lights
in your face.

BRANDON: It's your shirt.
I just borrowed it.

Well, you can keep it
because I'm never going
back there again.

Brenda, you can't
do that to Nat.

Nat won't miss me
at all, believe me.

Please, Brenda,
just one more night.

Why? So you can go
network with the brat pack?

What are you saying,
I've gone Hollywood?

If the shirt fits.

Look, Brenda, just because
the new lady in my life

happens to be
in the public eye

doesn't mean
that I've changed.

The old Brandon would
never fall head over heels

for such a superficial,
self-centered snob,

who changes boyfriends
on a weekly basis.

What, do you believe
everything you read
in the tabloids?

No, but I don't have
stars in my eyes, either.

This is really bogus.

I can't deal with you
if you're gonna be like this.

If you don't want to work
at the Peach Pit, fine.

If you want to pick
a fight with me because
you're jealous, fine.

Just don't go
slamming somebody
you don't even know.

As if you know her so well.

I know her better
than you think.

You've changed, Brandon.

You really have changed.

Yeah, well,
maybe it's for the better.

BRENDA: For two days,
every time I walk
down the hall,

somebody stops me
to talk about Brandon.

And Brandon only wants
to talk about Lydia,

and then he accuses me
of being jealous.

Well, I would be.

I'm too angry to be jealous.

I mean, he wrangles me
into taking over his job,

his boss thinks
I'm a stupid klutz,
and the customers hate me

because they think
I'm too young
and inexperienced.

Brenda, I'm sure
they don't hate you.

Well, they sure act like it.

Well, I think
they act that way
because they're hungry.

Oh, hungry people
are notorious for being
rude and obnoxious.

Whenever I get
around that place I get
very self-conscious.

So quit.

And give Brandon
the satisfaction?

No, thanks.

Brenda, try not to
take it so seriously.

What am I supposed to do?

Pretend like I know
what I'm doing?

Walsh just arrived.
I'll send him down.

Here's some new pages.
They need you in make-up.

Whoa. Hey,
this is a whole new scene.
What happened to 46?

46 was cut.

That's my big scene.

Lydia, Sean and Jake
are waiting for you.

Hey, Lydia.

Oh, hi, Brandon.

Hi. They cut our scene.

Oh, I know.
They're rewriting
the whole script.

I'm late. I gotta go.
Oh, hey, wait a sec.

I had a really
good time last night.

Hey, Lyd, move your butt.

Jake's hemorrhaging.
He wants us to run lines.

What's he doing here?

Oh, Sean decided
to come to terms
with the producers.

He said he missed me. Bye.

Would you like
some more coffee?
Love some.

CUSTOMER: Little slow?
NAT: The pits.

(CUSTOMER LAUGHING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Brenda?

No, Brenda couldn't make it.

I'm Laverne.
I'm taking her shift.

Charmed, I'm sure.

Girls, girls, come on in.

Don't be bashful.
Have a seat.

Oh, but first, let's get some
hit parade action going.

Liven up the joint.

You know, G5 comes
very highly recommended.

Love your do, Laverne.

Oh, thank you, blondie.

You know if you play
your cards right,

I just might let you
borrow my curlers.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)
Sir, welcome. I'm Laverne.

Charmed, I'm sure.

I don't get it.
What is it, Halloween?

Hey, don't you worry, pops.

You get no trick or treat
with this little lady.

I'm strictly a class act.

A 100% US Certified
hostess with the mostest.

BRENDA:
See, here's a gentleman
who appreciates fine beauty.

Here's a customer
who needs an order taken.

Why, certainly.
Would you like to hear
today's specials?

We don't have any specials.

The special pasta
today is spaghetti.

It has meatballs on it
with a red sauce.
Um, I think it's tomato.

And the soup is vegetable
with beefy beef.

Very tasty with saltines.

And for dessert we have pie.

We have peach pie,
cherry pie, apple pie,

pecan pie, lemon pie,

cream pie, and honey pie.

But if you want
pizza pie, you gotta go
across the street.

Ask for Guido.
He'll take care of ya.

So what will it be?

Anything you want, sweetheart.

You look like meatloaf
and mashed potatoes.
Am I wrong?

Bring it on.

Only if you promise
to save room for dessert.

Okay, we got a taker
for squished taters
and a beefy roll.

We what?

Mashed potatoes and meatloaf.

Get with the lingo, pops.

Brenda, you're too much.

It's Laverne, thank you.

All right. All right,
let's try this, please.

Jake, uh, his hand
was on her shoulder.

Your hand was
on her shoulder.

The other hand.
Oh, sorry.

All right? All right,
this is for picture.

Everybody quiet, please!

Roll sound!
Speed.

Marker.

JAKE: And action!

Hey, cheesemeister,

stay away from my girl.

(GASPS)

JAKE: Cut!

Brandon,
you lost your concentration.

It's just in rehearsal
there wasn't anything
in the glass.

Yeah, well,
that was rehearsal.

It's all right.
Try it again.

And action!

Hey, cheesemeister,
stay away from my girl!

(GASPS)

Who's gonna make me?

Cut. Something's
not working for me.

I need more splash.
Splash?

More splash.
Props, more splash!

And action!

Hey, cheesemeister,
stay away from my girl!

Who's gonna make me?

(SNICKERS)

JAKE: Cut!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)

Honey, I won't be spilling
no soup on you today.

(EXCLAIMING)

Hey, honey, you want
some more coffee?

All right, got to order up.
You know what I mean?

We got some seats
available soon, you know.

Come on, come on,
girls, girls, girls,
how are we doing?

I shouldn't take your money,
but I'm Laverne, I will,

you know what I mean?

Hey, honey.
Sweetie, how you doing?
Where you been all my life?

Girls, girls, girls,
you want something
to eat or what?

Well...
You either gotta
order or you go,

you know,
that's the way it goes.

Everybody, it's more victims!

(ALL CLAMORING)

Enter at your
own risk, fellas!

Hey, there's plenty
of seats available.

Just keep your
hands off mine,

you know what I mean?

That's not what
you said last week.

Yeah, well,
lies and innuendoes
will get you everywhere.

Brenda Walsh,
I knew her when.

And she's really out there.

Did you put her
up to this, Nat?

No, no, no, no.

Let's give credit
where credit is due.

I thought she flipped out,
but everybody's eating it up.

Along with second and thirds.

Don't worry about a thing.
All right!

(RINGING BELL)

I need a java for the lava,
a fizzer on the rocks,

and a pooch in a pouch
for the grouch!

Laverne?

Yes, Nathan?

Where you been all my life?

I was standing
right here, sugar.

(LAUGHING)

(SNEEZING)

No, cut, cut, cut!

Someone dry him off.

Let's try this again.

Where did you find this guy?

He can't even
remember his lines.

Lydia pushed for him.

Hey, you okayed it.

Don't start with me, Lydia.

So get him some idiot cards.

Wait a second.
I'm not an idiot.

You're not an actor.

Hey, I never said I was.

I'm doing the best job
I can here.

You change the lines on me,
you change the rules on me.

I don't know
what you people want!

What we want is 10 seconds
of usable film.

Do you think you can
manage to get up for that?
Or do I have to recast?

Hey, what's it take
to get a seat around here?

You gotta be in tight
with the owner or something?

Hey, hey, hey,
if it isn't Mr. Hollywood.

What'd you do to my sister?

What, you mean Laverne?

Hey, sailor,
when did you blow into town?

When did you go to Mars?

Hey.

Everybody, we got
a bona fide celebrity
in our midst!

That hot new sensation,
Lydia Leeds' main squeeze,

Brandon Walsh!

Now let's give him
a traditional
Peach Pit welcome.

(ALL HOOTING)

Thanks. I needed that.

(NAT LAUGHING)

Bran, Bran, hey.
Need some ChapStick,
Mr. Walsh?

Yeah, what is it like
kissing a living legend?

Not all it's
cracked up to be.

Why not?

Oh, you know, these
Hollywood starlet types.
Never satisfied.

Hey, Brandon, before I forget,
I've slotted you to do

a behind-the-scene profile on
the set of Keep It Together.

Don't hold your breath.

Yeah, no way.
He's not doing
anything for free

when he could be
sponging big time

from the Enquirer.

Ah, forget Lydia.
I think he should write
My Life With Laverne.

Huh?

I barely know the girl.

I wish I could say that.

I wonder what's
wrong with him.
I don't know.

Hey, Brandon, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, what's it take
to get a piece of pie
around here anyway, huh?

BRENDA: What a difference
a day makes.

Yesterday,
I was this close to quitting
and I kept on thinking,

"Why should I let
these people intimidate me?"

And then once Kelly said
"Don't take it so seriously,"

I thought of that
waitress that works

at the Big Boy
on Hoover Street.

And when I found
those old glasses,

Laverne just
suddenly showed up.

Well, it sounds
truly inspired.

JIM: And inspiring.

Brandon never pulled in
tips like this.

Not even close.

She set an all-time record.

I don't know about that,

but Nat is really jazzed
about the receipts.

From the way he's talking,
it sounds like this could

almost become
a permanent thing.

Well, at least I can
help him upgrade the jukebox
and liven up the decor.

Now excuse me,
I have to go
stuff my mattress.

I thought surely
you'd be hitting

the shopping malls
with all that loot.

No, I'm saving up
for something special.

With both kids working,
I'm ready for
an early retirement.

CINDY: How did
things go yesterday?

It went.

It's not as easy as it looks.

Well, what's on tap
for next week?

Ah, maybe some looping.

CINDY: What's looping?

It's when they fix
the soundtrack.

You're starting to
sound like an old pro,
a real veteran.

Of which war?

Thanks. Nine times out of 10,
I make that shot.

I believe you.

Wait a second, are you...

Yeah.

I phoned your mother,
she told me you'd be here.

I, uh, didn't feel
like being loved
by the public today.

Well, you came
to the right place.

Hey, I don't deserve that.

Come on, Lydia.

You used me to
get back at Sean.

That's it, plain and simple.

I know it looks that way,
but I'm really not
that calculating.

Oh, that's right.

I was in the right place
at the right time.

And you think you were
my "flavor of the week"?

Wasn't I?

If you were,
you think I'd be here?

Brandon, guys try to
pick me up all the time.

I admit, sometimes
I'm not that discriminating,

but you made me feel
like I didn't have to act.

Which is all I've been doing
since I'm 10 years old.

It's hard to figure out
who you are when you're

always pretending
to be somebody else.

Well, I liked the person
I thought I met.

And she liked you.

Until Sean came back
in the picture.

Brandon,
he was never really gone.

Oh, I see, so I was the guy
on the rebound, huh?

I wouldn't put it that way.

Well, how would you put it?

You're the natural
from Minnesota
who knows how to kiss.

So I guess this is it, huh?

Not necessarily.

Jake loved your dailies,
and he's gonna test market

your character
with a target audience.

You're kidding?

Nope, they are
really high on you.

You know, I did think
we nailed that last take.

I know, so did I.

So we'll keep in touch?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Bye.
Bye.

What, opening night jitters,
big guy?

Brandon, is-- is this
the right channel?

Yes, Andrea.

Brandon,
don't worry about it.

My mom gets the same way
before a show,

but afterwards
she'll just pig out.

(KEEP IT TOGETHER
THEME MUSIC PLAYING ON TV)

Brenda's gonna miss it.

She said she was gonna
leave work early.

This is Brandon's big moment.

You'd think she'd make
a point of getting here
and supporting him.

Maybe she forgot
to tell Laverne.

Oh, here they are!

Hey, way to go, toots.

Nothing like
making an entrance.

Hey, I'm charmed, I'm sure.
I didn't miss it, did I?

You're right on time.

Oh, have a piece of cake?

Where's it from?

Come on, spare us, Kelly.

So, how are you doing?

I'm standing.

How are you doing?

Well, tips were bountiful,
as usual.

I got an ovation
for my rendition
of Material Girl.

Oh, and Nat brought along
his portable TV set,

so he won't miss the show.

(SHUSHING)
This is it, you guys.
Keep it...

Okay, quiet. Quiet.

What scene are you in, man?

It's the one
right after this one.

Lydia leaves the party,
she goes in the bedroom,
sees me,

and says, "I was hoping
you'd be here."

And then...

Well, you'll see.

I was hoping you'd be here.

When did Sean Judson
get back on the show?

Yeah, listen,
uh, don't feel bad.

You're paying your dues.
Even my mother's ended up
on the cutting room floor.

Say hi for me.

All right. Goodnight, Bran.

Goodnight.

I think you should sue them
for misrepresentation.
I really do.

Thanks, Andrea.
See you Monday.

You want my honest opinion?

You lucked out.

I wouldn't want
my name on that, man.

It's got to be
the worst show on television.

Yeah, well, it's also
in the top 10 every week.

Yeah, well, there's
no accounting for taste.

Bye.
Bye.

Maybe they'll put your scenes
in next week's episode.

Like deja vu or something.

Goodnight, Kelly.

Goodnight, Brandon.

You want a piece?

Ah, no, thanks.

You know how it is
when you're pushing pies.

You lose your sweet tooth.

You've been awfully quiet.

Are you merely avoiding
comment on one of
the most embarrassing,

most mind-blowing, most...

Humiliating.

Degrading.
But character building.

But not-worth-it experiences
a person can have
in a lifetime?

I can't believe
Lydia could be so cold.

Why, because she didn't call?

Yeah, she should have
warned you.

What was she supposed to say?

"Hi, Brandon, it's Lydia.

"Sorry I have to
dump on you again,
but, hey, that's showbiz."

Well, you're definitely
more forgiving than I am.

Here you go.

You know, Brenda,
I've been thinking.

You should keep the job
at the Peach Pit.

You've earned it.

Brandon.

No, look it.

There are other jobs
I can find,
other things I can do,

with the school paper
and my hockey game.

Brandon.

Take it, Brenda.
I'm giving it to you.

Brandon, I don't want it.

It's too hard.
It's too exhausting.

Thanks for thinking about me.

Brenda, how can you
just walk away?

You're raking in the bucks.

Yeah, but I have enough
in my mattress to pay
for what I wanted.

What's that?

Acting lessons.

Brenda, you don't really
want to do that, do you?

No, but Laverne just
won't leave me alone.
