David, I don't know how you eat that stuff

or where you put it.

Well, I'm a growing boy, and I need the sugar rush

if I'm going to get through my first period math class.

(children's song plays) Can you say "sugar rush"?

Try that.

Please, don't get her started.

Oh, by the way,

the real estate people are coming today,

so make your beds, okay?

DAVID: Sure.

David, did you eat the last banana?

Yeah, I guess so.

KELLY: Oh, that's just great. Thank you

very much. I was saving that banana for my breakfast.

(baby crying) What am I, a mind reader?

JACKIE: Don't mind her, David.

She's just getting in

the last moments of immaturity

before she turns

18 years old.

DAVID: Would you like

half of my jelly donut?

No, I don't want half of your jelly donut.

(phone ringing) I want my banana.

JACKIE: I can make you some eggs. Hello.

I don't want eggs.

I know. You want a banana.

That's all right. I shouldn't be eating anyway.

Donna, we can't talk about this now.

Okay. I'll ask her.

I'll see you at school.

All right, bye.

Ask me what?

Oh, not you.

Don't mind me.

I just live here.

JACKIE: Oh, honey, wait.

About your birthday.

I was thinking, um, maybe just a small dinner tomorrow night

with the three of us, Donna and Dylan.

Whatever.

Donna wants to know

if we can throw the party here.

David, I told you, we can't.

Not with real estate brokers

and buyers in and out all the time.

(babbling) I know. It's just as well.

The way she just bit my head off, I don't even know why

we're throwing her a birthday party in the first place.

Oh, she'll be okay. She just woke up

on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Listen, you just find a place,

and I'll pay for whatever the party costs.

(students chattering)

I still don't get why we can't do it at your house.

I told you.

My mother's not going to Santa Barbara anymore.

So, she'll be there.

It's not like we're playing Spin the Bottle in the living room.

David, my mother's idea of a birthday party are six guests,

all girls, and a birthday cake

in the shape of your age. No, thank you.

So, what are we

supposed to do, then?

I mean, the party's tonight, and you've already invited

half the free world.

I'll think of something.

Look, just cover for me, okay?

(sighs): Oh, man.

So, how's the writing coming?

It's coming.

Look, I know how hard it is to get started.

It can be a real struggle at first,

but I know it's going to be great.

No, I mean, it's really coming.

Really? Yeah.

Once I get to typing, I just can't stop, you know?

I just keep doing it and doing it and doing it.

Whoa. We should all have it so tough. Yeah.

Listen, you guys, we have a slight problem with

Kelly's party-- like, no place to have it.

DYLAN: Good.

I hate surprise parties.

It's like having a job interview on your birthday.

Yeah, when have you ever had a job interview? (laughs)

Look, you guys, why don't we just do it

at the Peach Pit, like we first thought of?

Well, there's always the Walshes. Bad idea.

Hi, guys. Kel.

Hi. How you doing?

Fine.

I, uh... I got to get to AP English.

I'll see ya.

Yeah. Me, too.

Bye.

So, uh, have you seen Brenda?

No.

Oh, well, I have to go find her. Bye.

(laughs)

Something I said?

STEVE: Brandon, you promised me.

Come on, I told the producers we'd be there.

And it's a favor for my mom.

Steve, it's just not my thing, okay?

Since when are gorgeous girls not your thing?

Brandon, we made the cut.

We've already been accepted as contestants.

Look, I just don't want to meet girls

on a game show called Love At First Sight, okay?

BRENDA: Better do it, Brandon.

May be your last chance

to get a date this year.

Oh, yeah? And when was

the last time you went out on a date, huh?

Hi, guys. Bye, guys.

Brandon,

these are going to be the most awesome girls

we have ever seen.

Each and every one of them have been hand-picked

by dirty old men who call themselves producers.

Picture it, Brandon.

Girls with legs all the way to their neck.

Not an ounce out of place.

They're perfect.

KELLY: Perfect, huh?

There's no such thing as perfect.

(sighs) Listen, Bren,

I know it's last minute, but I was wondering

if we could do this party thing at your house.

Donna, just leave me out of this, please.

I'm not exactly prepared

to give Kelly a surprise party right now, okay?

But you are coming, right? Yeah.

I'll definitely be there. Just tell me where.

(sighs) Where else?

The Peach Pit.

(indistinct chatter)

Hi.

Chip?

No, thanks.

Dylan, have you noticed

anyone acting weird around here lately?

Like who?

Like David.

David is weird.

And Donna.

And Brandon and Steve and you.

I'm not acting weird.

I'm just reading a book.

I don't know.

I just feel like something weird's going on.

Are you still taking those things?

Yeah. So?

So, maybe you ought to eat something.

I think you're missing the point.

Vitamins, fiber...

What's phenylpropanolamine?

I don't know.

I guess it's the stuff that makes you lose weight.

How many of these are you taking?

Just like it says on the box.

One before each meal.

I did read the directions.

You sure they're good for you?

Dylan,

they're over-the-counter appetite suppressants.

You can buy them anywhere.

You are the last person I would expect

to be turning into my mother.

I just don't like to see you starving yourself.

Mmm, happy?

Kel...

Just get off my back.

Look, I'm not on your back.

Then let's just drop it.

What about tonight?

What about tonight?

I'll pick you up about 8:30.

Okay.

Brandon, this is your last chance.

I'm calling the producer this afternoon.

Do I tell him one or do I tell him...

Look, Steve... Tell him two.

What?

I think you should do it.

You do? Andrea,

you are the last person in the world

I'd expect to tell me to go do a sexist game show.

Excuse me, what makes it sexist?

The girl gets to pick

which guy she wants to go out with.

Sounds like fun.

Besides, it might help to fill page three.

STEVE: Well, there you have it,

the Andrea Zuckerman seal of approval.

What more could you ask for?

Well, what about Kelly's party, huh?

Did you forget about that? It's tonight.

No, I have not forgotten about Kelly's party,

but it doesn't start until 9:00.

The taping will be through by 7:00, easy.

Brandon, go for it.

Don't you have a class to go to or something?

(laughing)

Good-bye, Brandon.

I hope you can handle this crisis of conscience.

(laughing)

Why are you holding out on me?

I don't get it.

Steve, I just don't think it's a good idea

for us to do this together, okay?

I get it.

You're afraid I'm gonna show you up.

You're afraid one of those babealicious

women are gonna choose me

over you. You see,

Steve, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

You get a charge out of this.

You can't stop competing with me.

Brandon, it's a game show.

You're supposed to compete.

Except you take things like this

way too seriously, man.

I do not.

All right, what about the twins

on the beach this summer, huh?

I'm a legend because of that. Yeah, you are, okay

but what about Brooke? What about Nikki?

I'm not gonna get into some sort of jealousy trip

with you over a television show.

It's not worth it.

Okay, I see your point, but...

that probably won't happen.

It won't even come up, Brandon.

We probably won't even be on the same panel.

And how do you know that?

Because there's gonna be dozens of guys there...

and more importantly,

there's gonna be dozens of girls.

You'll have a terrific time, Brandon.

I personally guarantee it.

You promise I won't regret this?

Regret it?

My man, you're gonna fall in love at first sight.

Okay, okay.

I'll do it.

Dude, we're gonna have such a killer time.

I'll pick you up at a quarter to 5:00.

(sighs)

What's the matter, Kelly?

You tell me.

Tell you what?

You see that?

David, Donna and Andrea.

So?

So they're talking about me again.

Kelly, it's just your imagination.

Come on,

Steve, just tell me what's going on.

If I tell you,

you've got to promise no one will know

that it was me that told you.

Okay, I promise.

Just tell me.

It's about your birthday.

Oh, God. Come on.

Donna's planning a surprise party for you.

Practically the entire class is going to be there.

I told Donna I didn't want a party. I told Dylan and my mother

that I di... Calm down, calm down.

You do this to yourself all the time.

Remember when you were 16?

You made a big deal about telling your mom how you didn't

want a sweet 16 party, so she didn't make you one.

Then you got furious at her.

I know, but that's different.

This is a surprise party, and I hate surprise parties.

What's going on here?

This is not the Kelly Taylor I know and love.

Well, maybe I just don't feel

like being Kelly Taylor right now.

(sighs)

I'm gonna go home.

Want me to walk you to your car?

No, that's all right, I'm fine.

I-I just-- I want to go.

You're going to be there, right?

I wouldn't miss that for the world.

Good, 'cause you're, like, the only person

in this whole place I can trust right now.

Great news. We're on.

Peach Pit, 9:00.

Great. It's going to be perfect.

I can't wait to see Kelly's face

when she walks through that door.

STEVE: Yeah, me, too.

♪ ♪

The house has five bedrooms, four and a half baths.

The kitchen, of course, has been completely renovated.

Hi, Kelly.

This is Jackie's daughter.

She goes to West Beverly Hills High.

I was just telling Mr. Browers here what a great,

uh, school that is.

I wouldn't know.

I just dropped out.

(scoffs)

Do you mind not smoking in my house?

This would be your room, honey.

What do you think?

It's perfect.

Would it be all right if I opened

the closet? JACKIE: Oh, of course.

Go right ahead.

(gasping): Oops.

Oh, your daughter has such beautiful clothes.

Expensive clothes.

Oh,

Becky, maybe we should get you something like this.

KELLY: Or maybe she'd like to try it on

while she's here, although I don't think red is your best color.

JACKIE: Kelly, what are you doing home?

Gee, I thought I still lived here.

This is our house, isn't it, Mom?

Yes, but maybe not much longer.

Well,

it is a beautiful house.

Thank you.

And we're selling it real cheap,

so why don't you just take it?

Take everything while you're here.

Need some new jeans, new shoes,

new underwear?

Why don't you just help yourself to my closet?

Kelly. What? You like

this sweater? Take it, it's yours.

JACKIE: Okay, that's enough.

How about some

new CDs? A new life?

Why don't you take my boyfriend?

We're not getting along that well anyway.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to... Honey, come on.

Kelly, I want you to apologize

to Mrs. Brower and her daughter right now.

Did I say something wrong?

(sighs)

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Oh, damn it.

STEVE: I wonder where all the girls are.

I don't know, Steve,

probably locked in a soundproof booth somewhere.

Okay, everybody, listen up. Hi, my name is Bobby

Pandolfo. I'm the contestant coordinator

here at Love At First Sight.

I recognize a lot of you.

Glad to see you shaved and got a haircut. (laughs)

Okay.

Now, we're going to be taping six shows

here today, so everybody'll get a chance.

I'm here to teach you how to play our game.

STEVE: Excuse me, Bobby,

where are all the girls?

Down, boy!

(laughing): Okay, no,

they're all back in makeup getting even more gorgeous

than they already were when they got here.

Okay? Now, for this practice round, gentlemen,

I'll play the part of your dream date.

And, uh, everybody ready?

ALL: Yeah.

Gentlemen, is that the enthusiasm

you're going to show these beautiful babes, huh?

I said... is everybody ready to play Love At First Sight?

ALL: Yeah!

(chuckling): Okay, all right.

Uh... Steve, how about we start with you?

Let's start out with something simple.

How far do you like to go on the first date?

(laughs)

Well, that depends.

I mean, uh, can you say that sort of thing on TV?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, if a girl asks you how far you

like to go on the first date, a good answer might be,

uh... (laughs)

Santa Barbara.

Get it?

Okay. (quietly): This is really bad.

All right, next question.

Uh, Steve, where is the most unusual place

you've ever kissed a girl?

The belly button!

(laughing): The belly button.

You've played this before.

Did you hear that? Steve, this is too lame.

Come on, I'm great at this.

I got to go to the head.

Hurry up.

One more, one more.

Steve, if you were a vegetable...

Zucchini.

(coughs)

Excuse me.

Do you know where the ladies' room is?

No, not really.

I-I'm sorry.

I, I thought you worked here.

No.

Are you a contestant?

Sort of.

I kind of got roped into this.

Me, too.

So you're a contestant, too?

Yeah.

I guess we probably aren't supposed

to be talking to each other.

I could wind up your dream date or something.

I wouldn't complain.

Me, either.

By the way, I'm Celeste Lundy.

Hi, Celeste, I'm Brandon.

Brandon Walsh.

Brandon, they're looking for us.

They want to split us up into groups.

Okay.

Uh, I guess I'll see you later.

Whoa, who's this?

Oh, sorry. Steve, Celeste.

Celeste, Steve.

Hi. STEVE: Hello.

Well, good luck, Brandon.

You, too, Steve.

BOTH: Thanks.

That's what I call a dream date. Oh, yeah.

In fact, I think I'm falling in... Love At First Sight!

Oh!

Oh, you're gonna have a great time, you jerk!

Come on!

(grinder whirring)

Did they make an offer?

No, they didn't, and I seriously doubt

we'll be seeing them in the near future.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

Whatever possessed you to be so awful to those people?

I don't know.

I mean, I, I walked in

and I saw total strangers going through my closet.

Kelly, what am I supposed to do? Tell every prospective buyer

that your room is off limits? How about we start

by telling your broker not to smoke in the house?

How about we start by changing your attitude right now?

Or maybe we should just take the house off the market

and declare bankruptcy.

How about if I never say anything

about anything ever again?

That is exactly what I am talking about.

Practically every conversation we have had for the last month

has ended in some kind of snide remark, and I'm sick of it.

So am I.

(sobbing): My life is a total mess and nobody understands.

Honey,

I know you're going through a rough patch

with the divorce and the move.

We all are.

I hate to see you so moody all the time.

You're not a kid anymore.

You're going to be 18 years old tomorrow.

You got to try and cope with some of these things.

Don't remind me.

Is that what's bothering you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

This, too, shall pass.

(doorbell rings, Jackie sighs)

I hate open houses.

(talking indistinctly)

Okay, listen up, everybody.

If I call your name out,

that means you are a contestant

on the first show we'll be taping here today.

Okay, girls for show number one will be...

Adrienne Mitchell.

Why don't you come right down here?

And Cynthia Pratt.

Don't you look lovely?

And Celeste Lundy, come on down.

Dude, this is definitely the panel I want to be on.

Okay,

male contestants for show number one.

Our friend Steve Sanders,

uh, Mark Garfield--

hi-- and last but not least, Brandon Walsh.

(Steve and Brandon chuckling)

Well, what do you know?

We're on the same show.

Hmm.

Mom, do we have any wrapping paper?

Yeah, sure, hon, it's right on the window seat over there.

What have you got there?

A, uh, birthday present for Kelly.

Oh, what did you get her?

A sweater.

She'll probably return it.

Well, you don't sound very enthusiastic about it.

You know, they asked me

if they could have the party here.

Well, it would have been okay with me.

Yeah, but it wouldn't have been okay with me.

But you are going.

I mean, you're still friends, right?

Yeah.

Well, Brenda, you're trying.

I know you are.

Well, a party is a party, right?

Right.

You know who I was thinking about today?

Totally out of the blue?

Darla.

Darla Hansen.

What's she up to? I don't know.

Probably getting ready to go to the University of Minnesota

just like everybody else back home.

Do you ever talk to her?

Not since her sister got married.

I mean, we were so close.

I just kind of let her go.

Well, distance is hard.

No, it's more than that.

I mean, when we moved here,

Beverly Hills made everything back home seem so small,

so insignificant.

But I'm starting to realize that I miss those guys,

you know, all my old friends.

Well, you've made a lot of good friends, here, too, sweetie.

Yeah, but still, I think I'll give Darla a call,

see what's going on in the real world.

(chuckles) Good.

(sighs)

So, is she ready?

She's been getting dressed for the past hour.

DYLAN: Yeah.

Honey? Dylan's here.

KELLY: Oh, my God.

Honey, what's the matter?

I can't find my other red shoe.

This is just perfect.

So, wear another pair.

It doesn't matter. Does it?

KELLY: It's like nothing I do is right...

I can't even find anything in my own house.

Kelly...

I'm not going.

Because of a pair of shoes?

No.

Because I'm not going, okay?

Thanks for coming.

Now, bye-bye. Honey...

See you later.

(sighs)

DAVID: Where'd you get this thing?

It's for, like, a five year old.

It's cute.

Besides, Kelly still sleeps with her teddy bear.

Yeah, well, Renfro's getting a little ragged.

(door bell jingles)

How's that?

A little higher on your side,

Donna.

Bren, you're early.

I thought you guys might need some help.

Okay, Adrienne.

This is your last question.

Brandon... if you were an animal,

would you be a tiger, a puppy or a shark?

(audience giggling)

Uh...

I don't know, uh, uh,

I guess I'd be a, a puppy.

Oh, Brandon, you dirty dog.

HOST: Okay, Celeste.

You're up.

CELESTE: This is for...

Steve.

If you could take just three things

to a desert island, what would they be?

Sunscreen,

a cellular phone, you.

(audience laughs)

HOST: Ooh, sounds serious.

Next question, Celeste.

This is for Brandon.

Pretend you're a famous

plastic surgeon,

and you can transplant parts of any of the three of us

from one to the other.

Make the perfect woman.

That, that's, that's a tough one,

you're all very beautiful girls.

I think if I had to rearrange anything,

I'd, uh... I'd make you all look like Celeste.

(audience laughs and applauds)

Well, I guess we know

who Brandon has his eye on.

And we'll be back for more Love at First Sight

right after this.

Don't go away.

(applause and whistling)

What are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing.

I'm playing the game. No, you're not playing the game.

You're horning in on Celeste.

So, that's the game.

Steve, I can't help it

if we're both hot for the same girl.

I knew this would happen. No, you didn't

know this was gonna happen.

I knew this was gonna happen.

I told him; you wouldn't listen to me.

That's because you're a puppy.

(audience applauds)

HOST: Hi, and we're back

for our final, lightning round

which will determine which lucky couple

gets to go on our Love at First Sight dream date.

(applause)

(door closes)

She's getting dressed.

(sighing): Thanks.

It must require a mother's touch, huh?

What'd you tell her?

I calmed her down...

and then I did what mothers always do.

I found her shoe in the hamper.

Maybe I'm getting good at this

in my old age. Mm-hmm.

(knock at door)

Knock, knock.

Come in.

How do I look?

Phew, you look perfect.

Love the shoes.

Let's go.

♪ Baby, gonna pick you up tonight... ♪

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, Nat. Hello, my darling.

Hello, man.

Uh, you guys, it's almost 9:30.

Shouldn't they be here by now?

Donna just went to call Jackie.

Kelly sure has a lot of friends.

The natives are getting restless.

Where's the guest of honor?

I talked to Jackie; they just left the house.

Okay, yo, listen up, everybody!

Hey!

Kelly should be here in about ten minutes.

(cheering and applause)

HOST: All right.

Steve and Brandon have both picked Celeste.

Mark has chosen Cynthia.

And now it's the girls' turn.

So, let's see if we have a match.

Cynthia, who have you chosen

for your dream date?

Cynthia picked Steve.

All right, there's no match there.

Now Adrienne, you weren't selected

which means you'll already be returning

in our next group of contestants,

but let's see who you picked,

just for fun.

Brandon.

And finally, Celeste.

A very popular lady right now.

Celeste, have you fallen in love at first sight?

Yes.

So, who is it, Brandon or Steve?

Steve.

All right, we have a match!

Celeste and Steve!

Are we in Love at First Sight?

(applause and whistling)

Well, Steve, are you ready for your dream date?

Yes, sir.

How 'bout you, Celeste?

I sure am.

Well, you both sound pretty enthusiastic.

And I know you're going to have a great night.

And of course, we want to hear all about it.

So, Celeste, take notes,

because we want to hear everything.

Well, you look like you're ready

to plant a big one right

on that gorgeous kisser of his,

right here and right now. Mm-hmm.

Well, go on. Go for it.

HOST: Whoo! All right!

(applause and whistling)

Right now we have a limousine

waiting outside our studio,

ready to whisk Steve and Celeste away

on their Love

at First Sight dream date.

Now?

Right now, Steve.

Tell 'em what they've won, Don.

DON: Steve and Celeste will speed

from our studios in Hollywood

to Santa Monica's fabulous Beachfront Oasis Resort

and Hotel,

where they will dine as guests of Love at First Sight...

I can't do this tonight,

I've got a birthday party to go to.

...overlooking the beautiful Santa Monica bay. Hey!

The two of you, you make a great looking couple.

Right down here. Look, I can't do this tonight.

I have other plans.

What do you mean you have other plans?

I mean I have other plans.

Nobody said anything to me about tonight.

I can't do this.

Steve, you signed the release forms.

Didn't you, didn't you read it, huh?

No time to get cold feet now!

Listen, if you don't want to go through with this,

that's okay.

No, no it's not okay.

Do you know how much this "dream date" set us back, huh?

You're going, you're gonna have a great time.

And you're gonna come back and tell us all about it.

Look, my job is on the line here, bud.

So just shut up and get in the car.

KELLY: Are you hot?

It is so hot.

No, it's not.

It's freezing, Kel.

(sighs)

My heart is beating so fast.

What is it? Something you ate?

Hardly.

It's probably those diet pills, Kel.

I told you.

They're over the counter, harmless nothings.

I'm just really stressed out

about this whole birthday thing.

What whole birthday thing?

Nothing.

Who told you?

Nobody. I figured it out

on my own.

All the whispering behind my back had

to mean something.

That's why you were so stressed out about what to wear

tonight. Well, I couldn't look like a slob

at my own birthday party. Kel,

you never look like a slob.

Do you remember

in the second grade,

Mrs. Doveetch make me "King for a Day" on my birthday.

Yeah, you looked very cute in your little crown.

Yeah,

but it was also Kathy Collen's birthday.

So she got the wand, I got the crown,

and we had to agree on what all

of our royal commands were gonna be.

It was awful.

Brenda told me once

that she asked her parents to move her birthday

so she wouldn't have to share it with Brandon anymore.

So, I guess none of us are very good at sharing.

Do you think she'll be there tonight?

Yeah, of course she will be.

Hey.

Hey, hey, did I make it?

Yeah, but they'll be here any minute.

(car honking horn) Oh, that's them!

That's Dylan's signal.

Everyone hide, hide!

Move, move, move.

Get down!

Get down.

Okay, okay, cool.

Kelly, you sure you're ready to go through with this?

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

All right.

ALL: Surprise!

(cheering and applause)

Thank you.

What are you guys doing here?

It's your 18th birthday.

I couldn't just let it go.

Happy Birthday.

I didn't think you guys were gonna show up.

Man, what happened?

Traffic.

Kelly, Happy Birthday.

Thanks.

So, how's the birthday girl?

Very surprised.

Where's Steve?

He got the girl behind door number three.

(chuckles)

Happy birthday, sweetie. Thanks.

I hear the Beachfront Oasis is a fabulous hotel.

You know, I've never ridden in a limousine

before.

(rock music starts playing) This is really exciting.

I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood.

(music stops)

Boy, this is some dream date.

I don't believe this.

No one said anything to me about going out right after the show.

Did you know about this?

Yeah, sure.

They explained it all to us, over and over.

Nobody explained anything to me.

Well, as long as we're here,

can't you at least try to enjoy it?

Celeste, you don't understand.

It's my best friend's 18th birthday party tonight

and I'm not there.

Well, what time's the party?

Maybe you can still make it.

The cake's supposed to be at midnight.

So that still gives us tons of time.

We'll go get our dinner over with,

dance a few dances, smile for the camera and say good night.

How long could that take?

You mean that?

It's your best friend's birthday.

You've got to be there.

No, I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

Hey, Brandon, you having good time?

Yeah, I was just, uh,

protecting the cheese platter here.

Oh. (laughs)

So, Jordan, how's it going, man?

You all ready to take Yale by storm?

Honestly, I'm a little nervous.

Nervous?

Why, what have you got to worry about?

(Jordan scoffs, Andrea chuckles)

So Andrea tells me you went on a game show.

Did you find the woman of your dreams?

I thought so.

And then she found Steve.

Too bad.

But it will make great copy.

Jordan, would you do me a favor? Hmm?

Would you tell your friend here that not every one

of our life experiences has to end up in her newspaper?

(chuckles)

Excuse me, Kel.

Kelly, are you okay? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry, did you need the sink?

Yeah. (water running)

(water stops)

Do you feel all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be out in just a minute.

Okay.

(whimpers)

18 candles and one for good luck.

Uh, David, will you go get the lights?

Oh, we can't do the cake thing yet.

Kelly's in the bathroom.

Well, it's almost midnight.

We'd better do it before people start to leave.

I'll go get her.

No, it's all right, I will.

You finish the cake. Okay.

Should we light it?

Uh, yeah, go ahead.

I'll be right there in a minute.

I just have to get Kelly.

Oh, my God, Kelly!

Brandon, Nat, call 911!

Kelly.

Oh, my God, Kelly, come on.

Kelly, wake up.

Kelly, wake up!

Hurry up!

I've never seen anyone finish dinner so quickly.

I told you I'd get you here.

Are you sure you won't come in with me?

No, they're your friends.

Thanks, Celeste.

For everything.

Go on, maybe you can get in there

before Kelly blows out her candles.

Can I call you?

You'd better.

(engine starts)

Nat, where is everybody?

What happened?

I got some bad news.

You know, I knew she was taking

too many of those stupid diet pills.

Plus the fact that she apparently

hasn't eaten anything in, like, two weeks.

I should've thrown them away.

DONNA: It's not your fault.

None of us did anything.

BRANDON: Do you guys think maybe

she has anorexia or, uh...

Bulimia?

Yeah. Has anybody seen

her binge, throw up, anything like that?

I haven't, what about you, Donna?

No, me either.

Bren?

We haven't been spending too much time together lately.

(door opens)

What'd the doctor say?

Well, she's gonna be fine.

Jackie's in there with the doctor right now.

He said we could see her pretty soon.

Well, I-I think I'm gonna go to the coffee shop.

Does anyone want to come?

We will.

DAVID: Yeah, me, too.

It's better than waiting around here.

D, you coming down?

No, man, I think I, uh, I'm just gonna stay right here.

You guys go ahead, though.

I think I'll stay, too, Brandon.

Cool.

You know, most of the time

Kelly and I don't even know if we're friends anymore.

Maybe I should just go home.

No, Bren, stay.

I know she'll want to see you.

I still don't understand how this happened.

I thought these things are supposed to be safe.

You can buy them in the supermarket.

They generally are,

if they're used properly.

But Kelly's been taking as much as twice,

possibly three times

the normal dosage for a couple of weeks now.

Combined with too much caffeine and no food,

her heart couldn't handle it.

But I feel fine now.

You got off easy.

I've seen much worse problems:

kidney damage, even strokes.

Honey, what could possibly

have possessed you to do this to yourself?

I didn't do anything to myself.

I went on a diet, that's all.

A starvation diet that could have killed you.

But I'm fine now.

Right, Doctor?

Well, I don't see any need for you to stay

in the hospital after tonight,

but I want you eating, young lady.

A balanced, sensible diet.

And I want you to consider getting into some kind

of professional support system.

How 'bout if I just promise to pig out a couple of times?

This is no joke, Kelly.

You're not in real trouble yet, but you're on your way.

Now, the hospital

has a very good eating disorder group.

I don't have an eating disorder.

Honey, I think you should consider what

Dr. Tarica is suggesting.

What, spend an hour in a circle

with a bunch of girls groaning about food? No, thank you.

JACKIE: It's okay, we'll talk about it later.

Guys, she can see you now,

but it's late, so just for a minute, okay?

Go ahead in.

DYLAN: Kelly. BRENDA: Hi, Kel.

DONNA: Leave it to you, Kel, to know how

to get attention on your birthday.

I told you I didn't want a party.

Steve.

Hey, is Kelly all right?

She's okay, Steve, she's okay.

Wh-Where is she? She's, uh, in 105.

The paramedic was very cute.

Yeah, how was all that mouth-to-mouth, Kel?

I had mouth-to-mouth?

DYLAN: Don't get excited, I don't think "very" is the word.

Oh he was "very."

You better get out of here

before the nurses have me arrested.

Bye, Kel. See you later, Kel.

Take care, good night, Kel.

Thanks, Donna.

Feel better, okay?

You picked a hell of a place to have a birthday party.

Steve, you came.

I wouldn't miss your birthday. Oh.

You didn't tell them I told you, did you?

No, of course not.

JACKIE: I hate to break this up,

but, uh, it is time to say "good night."

Good night, Kel. Feel better, sweetheart.

Feel better, you look good.

Bye. Bye.

Bye, guys. Bye.

Uh, Dylan, could you leave us alone for a minute?

Is that okay? Sure.

Come on, Dylan, why don't you buy me a cup of coffee?

You scared me.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

In fact, it looks like I'm going to live,

so you can't have Dylan back.

Kelly, we all have to stop

making ourselves nuts about the past.

But, Kelly, please,

if you were trying to punish yourself...

Brenda, I really

think you're overreacting.

I just took too many diet pills.

Why is everybody acting like I tried to commit suicide?

I'm not saying that.

All I'm saying is that no matter what's happened,

I love you.

Even though you don't always know it,

and even though I don't always show it.

So don't ever let it happen again, okay?

Okay.

Call me tomorrow, I'll take you out for ice cream.

Ha, ha.

Okay?

Yeah, everything's okay.

Thank you.

Good night, Bren.

You doing all right?

Yeah, I guess I am.

It's after midnight, so happy birthday.

Thanks.

Dylan?

Hmm?

Thanks for staying.

Where else would I want to be?

Get some sleep, okay?
