DAVID: Imagine this, seniors.

All you can hear is the sound of your own heartbeat.

Metal strains against metal.

The weight of your own body presses against

the back of your seat.

Sweat forms on your forehead

and you reach the point of no return.

For a split second, you're completely at rest.

(people screaming)

DONNA: And then you have to buy a ticket to experience the rest.

The thrill of victory...

Or the agony of not being there.

So which is it gonna be, seniors?

Tickets for Senior Ditch Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain

on sale for ten more minutes only.

DAVID: And remember, for those seniors not planning

on signing up for Ditch Day,

there is that exciting mandatory study hall

in the library.

MAN: Steve Sanders?

Sanders, are you here?

Where else would I be?

(bell rings)

♪ ♪

Donna, David, you guys did a great sales job.

95% of the senior class is going.

Yeah, well, it's not hard to get people to trade in

a day of school for a day at Magic Mountain.

I've never been there before.

MEYERS: You're kidding.

It's the greatest.

Why do you think I volunteered

to be your chaperone?

Wait till you experience The Viper.

What's The Viper?

It's a roller coaster.

DAVID: Oh, but it's not

just any roller coaster-- it's the biggest,

baddest, fastest roller coaster on the West Coast.

First time I ever rode it, I was scared to death.

You're really gonna love it.

Hey, Dylan.

Tell me you're not closed.

Well, for you two...

maybe we can make a deal.

We're a single, I'm afraid.

You're gonna miss Senior Ditch Day?

I got to take the SATs again Saturday.

Dylan, that's great.

Yeah, but it leaves me only one day

to study, and that's Ditch Day.

Yep, and he's got a heavy-duty

study plan all worked out.

This time don't forget to put your name on the test.

They give you 200 points just for doing that right.

Steve should know that's the only way he got any points.

At least it was an honest 200 points.

What are you talking about, Sanders?

Nothing.

Look, the testing bureau screwed up, that's all.

I was just kidding.

Wouldn't hurt you to take your SATs over.

You know what did they get voted again

this year in the Senior Poll?

"Gloomiest Couple"?

You ready for The Viper, big guy?

'Fraid not, small guy.

Miss Teasly won't let me out of detention.

You're kidding? Ditch Day is like

an inalienable rite of passage.

If I miss detention,

she's gonna make me do senior year all over again.

Yeah, well, don't do the crime,

if you can't do the time, huge guy.

"Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time."

What a hypocrite.

Yeah, well, Dylan's been through a lot.

Yeah, fine, but is he ever gonna lighten up?

Maybe after the SAT's.

Feels like he's got to prove his score

last time wasn't a fluke.

College was real important to his father.

It's, yeah, it's kind of like his

last salute to him, you know?

Okay, but does he have to do it with so much attitude?

He even has Kelly spouting off attitude.

Oh, so that's what's bugging you.

No, no, no, it's not.

I'm over her, I'm way over her.

I am.

♪ Dum, dum, dum, then let's fall in love ♪

♪ Whee... la-la-la-la. ♪

Over, huh?

Excuse me.

Are you Nat... Bussichio?

I could be... if you wanted me to.

Excuse me, I think the lovely young lady was talking to me.

Oh, I'm sorry, you're "Brandon."

Yes, and I'm also busted.

Oh, Nat?

Nat Bussichio?

I'm Steve.

I don't believe in writing on shirts.

Blond-haired beauty here to see you.

Mr. Bussichio.

Bussichio. Bussichio.

Um, I'm Ginger O'Hara

from the J. Thomas Parnell Celebrity Tours

and I'm just dropping by

to confirm our breakfast arrangements

for tomorrow morning.

Arrangement?

He didn't call you?

Sorry.

That man is so scattered.

I don't know how he runs a successful business.

I've only been working for him a few days

and it seems like

I have to check every detail myself

or nothing gets down and....

Ginger, slow down.

Start from the beginning.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Parnell, he charters groups

from all over the country to come to L.A.

and have a "Hollywood experience."

Whatever that is.

Well, you know, they, they get

to see where their favorite star lives,

where they eat, they screen a couple of their movies.

I don't know-- like I said, I just started working for him

and tomorrow he's booked the Burt Reynolds Fan Club

from Phoenix, Arizona.

I can't believe he didn't get in touch with you.

Well, it's no problem.

It's not? No.

You couldn't have picked a better place

to bring your people.

That stool you're learning against.

That's Burt's favorite.

Always insists on sitting right there.

You're kidding?

(quietly): I thought that was

Steve McQueen's favorite stool.

Next one. Oh.

Nat's fed all the stars here.

Well, that's what our guidebook says.

Our clients are gonna love it here.

Uh, by the way, how many "clients"

are we talking about here?

Oh, um, about 20 or so.

Is that a problem?

No. It's just that usually you don't have

that many waiters in the morning.

Wait a minute.

How long's this breakfast gig supposed to last?

Well, we're on a pretty tight schedule.

Um, breakfast 7:30,

a retrospective screening of Deliverance

and Starting Over at 9:00,

followed by a preview

of his new hit movie, Cop-And-A-Half at 12:45.

NAT: Perfect.

I'll come in for the breakfast shift.

What about Ditch Day?

Hey, it's no problem.

The fan club will be out of here by 9:00,

I'll jump in my 'Stang, cruise up to Magic Mountain by myself.

Or you could always hop

in my 'Vette, cruise up there in style.

What about...?

I, uh,

I have that covered. (chuckles)

(sneezes)

You okay, Boss?

Couldn't be better.

(phone ringing)

Brandon?

Brandon!

Mm?

It's Nat.

I'm reconsidering getting a separate phone line for you.

Hello.

Brandon.

Hi, Nat.

Am I late?

No, no. I just need you to open up for me.

You sure?

What's the matter? You don't sound so hot.

Some kinda bug bit me last night.

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

No, no problem, I'm practically on my way.

You should probably stay home.

If it wasn't for that fan club coming, ya know?

Oh, hey,

between Willie, Nadine and myself,

I'm sure we can handle 20 people.

You get some rest. We'll be fine.

So you got a note from your mother

to ride the Viper, Silver?

Cute, Tony.

What is it about this Viper ride?

Oh, it's killer. It flips you all around

until your guts are completely upside down.

Upside down?

What keeps you from falling out?

Fear. Fear.

Hey, come on, guys, quit trying to freak her out.

Steve, what're you doing here?

Well, they don't call it Ditch Day for nothing.

What'd do you say we ride up in my car?

Wind in our hair,

music blasting on the CD.

No, riding on the bus with everybody is half the fun.

Oh, I see.

Dylan's got you on a short leash, huh?

Have a nice drive.

Wait a second, I'm sorry. Stupid thing to say.

I just remember when you used to like to ride in my car.

And I remember when you didn't spend

half your life in detention.

Thanks for reminding me.

You're welcome.

So you're actually gonna ditch detention

and risk getting expelled?

Who said anything about ditching detention?

Come on, this is simple.

See, I check in, bail out.

Hurry back in time

for the afternoon session.

You know, I really hope you know what you're doing

and Mrs. Teasley doesn't.

You know, you were a lot more fun

when you were going out with me.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Thank you. (laughs)

Man, quadratic equations, do you understand these?

I'm more a man of letters.

I am so bummed.

It turns out I didn't even have to go to detention today.

We had a substitute proctor.

The guy never even looked up when he called the roll.

You could have sat in for me,

he would've never have known the difference.

I highly doubt it.

Are you almost ready?

Uh, no, I gotta wait for Willie and Nadine to show up.

Maybe you should just head up there without me.

That's all right, I'll hang.

They'll be here in a minute, right? I hope so.

Thank God that fan club flaked out.

Well, that Ginger chick was, uh, flaky.

Foxy, but flaky.

(phone rings)

Help yourself to some coffee, bro.

Thanks, man.

So aren't you supposed

to be in study hall or something, Steve?

Nope.

I'm heading up to Magic Mountain

just as soon as the big guy finishes cleaning up.

You'd better hope

Miss T doesn't find out.

You're like two peas in a pod.

What?

Never mind.

Man, you guys aren't gonna believe this.

Willie and Nadine were riding into work together

and get in a fender bender.

They okay? Yeah,

but they gotta wait for a tow truck.

It's a real mess.

Looks like I'm stuck here.

Man.

I'm sorry, bro.

I'm gonna make a quick pit stop,

then I'm headin' for the Mountain.

All right, Brandon, I gotta tell ya,

sometimes it's all I can do

to keep from just telling Sanders where to go.

Hey, come on, cut the guy some slack, will ya?

Any more slack and he'd be a liquid, man.

This guy's always working some angle on somebody, you know?

He's trying to pass himself off as "Mr. Hollywood--

Hey, I got this town wired, babe."

To tell you the truth, I think he's a little jealous of you.

After all, you are going out with his ex.

You gotta be kidding me.

Hey, everybody's got a girl but him.

You don't. I choose not to.

There's a big difference there.

Yeah, right.

Adios, amigos.

Look, everybody, we're here now.

Uh, this is the Peach Pit, an old-time Hollywood hangout.

So come on in,

find a seat, check out the mementos on the wall.

(sighs): What a morning.

These people complain about everything.

You were supposed to be here 45 minutes ago.

The bus was late.

And I thought it was supposed to be 20 people.

That's what Parnell told me.

Is he here?

Of course not.

Order what you want, everybody,

it's all included in the package.

Ginger, I don't know how

I'm supposed to serve all these people.

I'm home alone here.

Relax, man. I'll, uh, I'll man the grill.

No offense, D, but I'd better do the cooking.

I gotcha covered, Brandon.

After all, I used to work here.

Who wants what? Coffee? Peach pie?

(people screaming)

All right!

ANDREA: No wonder they call it The Colossus.

It's so big.

Well, you better start movi''

before the line gets too long.

Come on!

I'll catch up with you guys later.

I have all this paperwork to take care of

with the administration office.

Can't you just do it later?

I'd rather do it now, you know,

get it out of the way.

Okay. Well, we'll meet you at the office after the ride, okay?

Any day now guys, come on.

Do you need any help with that?

No, no, go on.

It's a one-woman job, absolutely. (chuckles)

I'm sorry.

No harm, no foul.

You know, Burt Reynolds walked in here once.

He found Clint Eastwood sitting on his stool.

And the next thing you know,

they were shaking hands on a deal to do a picture together.

Is that right?

Where is Ginger?

We don't want to miss that screening.

Yep, and we don't want you to miss it.

Hey, man, here you go.

I uh, got it all totaled up.

here are your checks, here's the receipts.

Great. Thanks, man.

No sweat-- the sooner we get

all these people out of here,

the quicker I can go back to the study thing.

Hey, have you seen Ginger?

I think she's in the little girls' room.

Cool, thanks.

Hey, Ginger?

Ginger, you in there?

Ginger?

(woman sobbing)

(woman sobbing)

Ginger?

You in there?

Can't a girl have a little privacy?

Uh... you're in the men's room.

Oh, my God.

Hey, what's the matter?

Can I help?

I don't know how.

You wanna hear this?

The theater

where we're supposed to hold all the screenings

never heard of J. Thomas Parnell Celebrity Tours.

Well, did you try calling Parnell's office?

There was no answer,

not even an answering machine.

Of course, this would happen to me.

My first job in L.A. and I end up in the toilet.

The men's toilet, no less.

Well, you gotta admit, it is a pretty classy toilet.

Is that what I think it is?

Yeah.

Don't worry. It's not too bad.

How bad?

$312.76

(sobbing)

Mr. Parnell was supposed to be here to take care of all that.

You mean, you don't have any money?

BRANDON: Hey, if it's any consolation,

in my humble opinion, you look marvelous.

You're so sweet.

I mean, here I'm the one who brought in

all those movie buffs, and can't pay the bill and...

Oh, my God.

I still don't know what I'm going to say

to all those people out there.

Look, first of all, don't worry about the bill.

I'm sure this Parnell guy is on his way here right now.

(knocking)

Yeah, just give me a second, will ya, pal?

MAN: Hey, will you hurry up in there?

In my experience, you can never go wrong with telling the truth.

They'll understand.

First the motel wasn't booked,

then the bus is an hour late, there's now no screening?

Next you're going to tell us we have to pay twice

for a pre-paid breakfast.

I don't know what kind of a stunt you're trying to pull here,

but I have half a mind to call the cops right now.

I'm sure Mr. Parnell will be here any minute.

Well, until he shows up,

we are not budging one inch from this spot.

We expect to get everything we paid for.

that includes meeting Mr. Burt Reynolds himself.

She promised Burt Reynolds?

She didn't, Parnell did.

People, people.

You came to Hollywood to see some stars, right?

Now, I don't know about Burt Reynolds--

he may come through that door any minute,

but he is not the only star in Hollywood's galaxy.

Now...

how would you like to meet the star

of the longest-running show in TV history?

We're gonna meet Tony Danza?

No.

How would you like to meet...

Samantha Sanders?

Who?

Samantha Sanders.

The star of The Hartley House.

WOMAN: You listen to me, young man.

We paid to meet Mr. Burt Reynolds,

star of Deliverance, Starting Over,

and Cop-And-A-Half.

Not some washed up old actress from some stupid sitcom

that's been off the air for ten years.

Lady, I'll poke you in the eye,

just to take some of the pressure

off the bulge in your neck...

Hey, hey, easy, easy...

Sit.

Maybe I'll try Mr. Parnell's number again.

Andrea, hey, come on, Revolution's next.

The Revolution?

Yeah.

DAVID: It's hairy.

You guys, it sounds great, but the park manager

was going to show me some of the kiddie rides.

Kiddie rides? Well, not to ride on.

But I was thinking, if I'm going to work

as a camp counselor again this summer...

Andrea... This place is a perfect place to bring a group.

Andrea... That is exactly why the manager was going to show me around.

Andrea!

Guys, I've...

I've never been on a roller coaster before.

Well, there's a first time for everything.

DONNA: David, no.

You can't force someone

to do something they're afraid of.

What exactly is it that you're afraid of?

The heights, speed?

Yeah.

Guys, guys, guys, she can get therapy later.

Let's go.

No. Uh, David, why don't you go by yourself?

Donna...

We'll meet up with you later, go on.

Hey, Tony, wait up, man. Excuse me.

Look, you guys don't have to do this, you know.

DONNA: Yes, we do.

We need a food break.

Come on, I'm starving. Me, too.

Cotton candy?

(people chanting): We want Burt, we want Burt...

You know, one thing I didn't tell your "clients"

was that Samantha Sanders is my mother?

Yeah?

Well, not only that, but she once did a cameo

for Burt when he was filming Smokey and the Bandit.

Oh, no kidding.

Yeah, I've met him. I met him several times,

and I think Burt's in town.

If he knew all these people were here

and they came all the way from Arizona...

Don't you ever stop, Steve?

Don't you have some SAT studying to do?

Doesn't he ever stop what?

You can't believe a word he says.

I mean, one day he's a hot shot music agent,

then he's a computer hacker, then a drag racer.

Today, he's Burt Reynolds' best friend.

Can I talk to you outside, please?

Excuse us.

We'll be right back.

I have had it with your holier-than-thou attitude, man.

You have no idea about what makes me tick.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Steve, but the mystery's gone.

You're practically transparent.

I wonder if Kelly would agree with that.

Why don't we ask her sometime. Maybe I will.

Steve, you don't care if Ginger's in trouble or not.

Man, we both know what's going on here.

All right, and you're a saint, right?

Picking up on Kelly behind Brenda's back?

Look, let's just leave Kelly out of it, all right?

No, let's not.

What's on your mind, Steve?

You wanna know what's on my mind? Yeah.

The only thing bigger than the chip on that shoulder is the hair on your head.

And you think you're twice as slick.

Steve, when you were a kid, your mom used to tie a pork chop

around your neck just so the dog would come in and play with you.

You remember that, I do.

Hey, you guys seen Ginger?

She just borrowed your car, man.

She borrowed my car? Yeah, she took off.

Oh, my God. She just stole my car.

What? She just stole my car!

Go call the cops.

Come on Steve, let's go after her.

Where are ya going?

Get in the car, man! I am!

The 'Vette's faster!

Look man, I don't think so, all right?

I can't find my keys! Get in the car!

(tires squealing)

Steve, slow down a little bit, will you?

Chill out.

Come on man, you're gonna kill us both.

If I'd wanted a backseat driver,

I would have bought a car with a backseat, all right?

Steve, this ain't a video game!

STEVE: Mach one.

(truck horn blaring) Whoa, look out!

Whoa!

Mach two! What're you doing, man?

Any closer and you would've kissed that guy, come on!

I feel like Starsky and Hutch, man.

(laughing)

Interception imminent.

Pull over!

What was that?

That was the heartbeat of America.

My God, what did you do that for?

I almost hit you.

Maybe we should've just let the cops catch up with you instead.

What?

Car theft is a felony,

you know that, don't you?

What, you mean... you think I stole his car?

No, Brandon lent me his keys.

He did not lend you his keys.

You stole his keys. You stole his car!

You stole the car. I already said that.

No, no, not really. I just...

I don't know why I did such a stupid thing.

I guess I figured that if I got to Parnell's office,

maybe I could get the money to pay the Peach Pit bill

and maybe even give the fan club their money back.

But I didn't steal the car, honest.

You gotta believe me.

So say we give you the benefit of the doubt.

What doubt, Steve?

Let's just go to Parnell's office.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Oh, thank you.

You guys are wonderful.

Just follow me.

You slide over. I'm driving.

What about me? What about you?

Andrea, maybe if you tried a kiddie roller coaster first.

No, that's a mistake.

It's like entering a cold swimming pool an inch at a time.

With each step you die a thousand deaths.

Yeah, you're right.

It's definitely better to just jump right in, one fell swoop.

Yeah, that way you only die once.

How much do I owe you, Donna?

Uh, $4.50.

What's wrong?

My wallet's gone.

I had it when I got on the bus.

What about when you got off the bus.

I don't know.

Maybe someone turned it into the lost and found.

Great.

Somebody found it all right.

Empty.

Yeah, right outside the gate in front of our bus.

Well, do you think it was someone from our school?

It looks that way.

I feel so stupid.

I mean, I had everything in here.

My credit cards, my money.

You know, in my next lifetime, remind me to ditch Ditch Day.

DYLAN: What is Parnell's address?

GINGER: He said 15045.

This was the address he gave me.

Haven't you actually ever been to his office?

I got the job over the phone.

Nice office.

Oh, God, how could I be so naive?

I've probably gotten involved

with some sort of con man, haven't I?

Kinda looks that way.

Well, that's just great Ginger.

Now all I have to do is just find Burt Reynolds

and get him to show up.

Well, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I mean, Steve's mom knows the guy.

Hell, Steve knows Burt himself.

Isn't that what you said, Steve?

Yeah.

You think you could really do it, Steve?

(both laugh)

I could make some calls.

Yeah, for the third time,

my name is Steve Sanders of Sanders Management Group.

Look, are you new there or what?

I just want to talk to Burt Reynolds' publicist.

No, don't put me on hold!

Be sure and tell them

about the cameo your mom did in Smokey and The Bandit.

I'm trying to talk here, do you mind?

(dialing tones)

Hi, Mom, uh...

That's a real bummer, Kel.

How could I let my wallet get stolen right from under my nose?

Don't blame yourself.

Yeah, Kel, it's not your fault.

Then how come I feel like the poster child for Victims-R-Us?

Well, there's no use crying over spilled plastic.

There's still a whole bunch of rides we haven't been on yet.

David...

Sometimes you are so insensitive.

No, David's right.

That thief may have my money,

but should I let him have my fun, too?

Hear, hear.

I am in control

of how much fun I have, not him.

Come on. You guys coming?

You are absolutely right.

I am the one who's in control of my life.

I'm still chicken.

I'll stay with Andrea

and we'll meet you guys at The Viper.

Okay.

Why do they have to call it "The Viper"?

He's been on that phone a long time.

Yeah, nobody slings the bull quite like Steve.

But you don't, do you?

Too much work.

You know, keeping all those bulls up in the air.

You don't like me, do you?

I don't know you.

You know, my name's not really Ginger.

Really?

It's Tina.

I got into a little bit of trouble back home.

Nothing illegal or anything, just, um...

socially unacceptable behavior for a small town.

Oshkosh isn't exactly as open-minded as Beverly Hills.

Don't believe the brochures.

Anyway, I said, "So long, Oshkosh, hello L.A."

I just wanted to start over.

New town, new identity.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, I left once.

Sometimes the walls can get closing in on you pretty fast.

Yeah, they do.

Struck out, huh, champ?

Well, that's the chance you take

when you swing for the fences, right?

Thanks for trying.

Course, how else you gonna hit it out of the park?

Burt Reynolds can be found at the Calvert Studios.

He's filming his new movie there.

Son of a....

Steve, that's great!

You did it!

Dylan, did you hear that, he did it!

What am I, chopped liver?

(laughs)

Maybe it's not my fear of heights and speed.

I mean, I definitely have those.

It's not like I'm a daredevil,

but, I don't know, maybe it's more

of my fear of the unknown.

Could be.

You've been on it, right?

Definitely.

So, what's it like?

Um, scary, thrilling, huge.

Andrea, it is totally awesome.

Is that all?

No, really,

it's this incredible rush of excitement

that just soars through your body.

You don't know what's happening,

but you're loving it so much

and it's this unbelievably amazing feeling

that you don't want to end.

And then when it does,

you kinda get this wild feeling all over

and you wanna do it over and over again.

I have to admit

you have definitely piqued my curiosity.

Yeah.

God, I bet it's the next best thing to...

Well, I mean, it must feel like when you have.....

Have sex?

Yeah, I guess.

I hope so.

Wait a minute.

You and David haven't....

No.

Not yet.

I mean, we almost did once.

Actually almost did twice.

Me, too.

Well, almost once.

Really? With who?

I'm-I'm sorry. It's none of my business.

That's okay.

It was with Brandon.

Just before the Walsh family

was gonna move back to Minnesota.

We, uh... I don't know, we realized it just,

it wasn't the right thing.

Maybe we should've just done it.

No, you probably did the right thing.

I mean, in a way, it's sort of like a roller coaster.

You have to decide what ride to take,

when to take it and who to take it with.

Look, Mr. Neck, Burt knows me.

He really does. We're like this.

Just tell him Samantha Sanders' son is here, okay?

Come on, Steve.

Okay, but boy, is he gonna be mad

when he finds out you didn't let us in.

Down, boy.

WOMAN: Any more extras lying around?

It's now or never.

(laughs)

I started the day studying for the SAT's

and now look at me, Steve.

I'm Kermit the Frog.

With a rash.

(both laugh)

What in the world are we supposed to be, anyway?

What does it matter as long as it gets us in?

Okay, all you bacteria in here, please.

Bacteria?

(both laugh)

Come on, man.

WOMAN: Come on. Let's move it.

Yeah, I found the bacteria. They're flying in.

Come on, people,

we're laughing our way to midnight here.

Time is money.

Okay, listen up, people. When I yell "action,"

I want all you bacteria to start painting

only your assigned tooth with these buckets of plaque here.

Hey, who's talking people?

Thank you. There we go.

Excuse me, babe, where is Burt, anyway?

Burt finished his scene this morning.

He's over at Rossmore Sound now.

Great work, Steve. So what've you got us

booked for next? A nasal spray commercial?

You're certainly dressed for it, man.

Okay people, very quiet,

Action, bacteria.

Painting, painting, painting.

Painting, painting.

Okay, cue the mouthwash!

(mouthing)

(extras shrieking)

I loved it when the guy came out screaming,

"Look out for the dental floss!"

(screeches)

I thought I was going

to die until you grabbed onto that rope.

That was no rope. That was the uvula.

It's that small, fleshy, useless skin

that hangs in the back of your throat,

kind of looks like a punching bag.

Uvula; it's a noun.

Very good, Steve.

(siren blips)

(indistinct radio transmission)

BOTH: Uh-oh.

You didn't call Brandon, did you, Steve?

Brandon who?

This car belong to you folks?

Actually, it belongs to a friend of ours.

He let us borrow it.

Is that why your friend reported it stolen?

Well, actually there was a little mix-up, Officer.

OFFICER: Well, let's just go down to the station, shall we?

We're very good at un-mixing things down there.

(phone ringing)

Hang on.

Peach Pit. Steve, what the hell's going on?!

I've been waiting to hear from you all day.

Well, I've got good news and some bad news.

Give me the good news first.

The good news is we found your car.

You did?

That's killer man!

You wanna hear the bad news?

Do I have to?

They're holding us on suspicion of grand theft auto.

Relax. Steve's in there talking to Brandon.

I'm sure he's not gonna press charges.

Dylan, remember how I told you

I got into some minor trouble back home?

Yeah.

Well, maybe it wasn't so minor.

Uh-huh.

I just wanted you to hear it from me first.

Exactly how "not so minor" was it?

Dylan McKay?

Yeah.

Ginger O'Hara?

Yes, sir.

You're both free to go.

Can we get out of here

before someone has a change of heart?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

I can't thank you guys enough.

You could've hung me out to dry in there and you didn't.

Well, tooth decay has gotta stick together, right? Let's go.

Uh, Steve.

I can't believe you're still willing to help me

after all I've put you through.

Rossmore Sound's only a few blocks away. It's worth a shot.

I think you better call it a day, Steve.

And wimp out now? What are you crazy?

Come on, we've come this far.

Yeah, but aren't you forgetting something?

You know, it starts with "D," rhymes with "T,"

as in Mrs...

Detention. I forgot all about it.

Forgot what? If you leave right now,

you can still make it.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

But what about finding Burt Reynolds?

I can't. I'll get expelled.

Dylan knows where this place is, he'll take you over there.

But he doesn't know Burt Reynolds, you do.

Isn't there some way?

Melinda Rawlings?

Yeah. Good.

Eric Reeves? Here.

David Arsemel? Yeah.

Henry Cho? Yo.

Barbara Horowitz? Here.

Steve Sanders?

Steve Sanders?

Here.

How many times can they go around on that thing?

Just watching it makes me nauseous.

Well, with David on board, there is no telling.

I'm gonna get a soda. You want anything?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Hey, what're you doing? Give it to me, blondie.

He's stealing her purse!

No!

Hey, hey.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Just get him out of here before I let him make my day.

All right buddy, you made a big mistake, pal, that's it.

Come on.

I can't believe you did that.

Me neither.

It was great.

WOMAN: Rossmore Sound. May I help you?

Aw, Burt didn't remember you, did he?

If he were there, he would've remembered me.

I'm sorry.

You did all you could. Thanks.

I guess there's nothing else to do

but go back to the Peach Pit

and fess up.

I can't.

That president will turn me into the cops like she said.

Why? The only thing you did wrong

was get hired by J. Thomas Parnell.

You know that old saying about killing the messenger?

You can't just walk away from the problem.

Why not?

Listen, it's Friday.

We've got the whole weekend ahead of us.

Why don't we just hop in your 'Vette and cruise up to Vegas?

Yeah, right.

I'm serious.

I know some people up there.

We could have a great time.

Look, Ginger, forgetting about the fan club for just a minute,

and forgetting about how gorgeous you are...

what are we gonna do in Vegas without any money?

Well, it just so happens I have $2,500 right in here.

You've had $2,500 in your purse all this time

and you didn't use it to pay your bill

at the Peach Pit

or even refund the money for the fan club?

Look, Steve, I'm really gonna level with you now.

My name's not Ginger.

It's Adrienne.

I had some trouble back home in Salt Lake, so I came to L.A.

You know, fresh city, fresh start, fresh name.

One thing led to another

and I got hooked up with Parnell...

What's the use.

Look, it's a very long, very convoluted story.

I didn't want to give that money back till I was absolutely sure

we'd exhausted every possible avenue.

You've got to believe me, Steve.

And driving to Vegas?

How does that fit into your plans?

I panic sometimes.

Well, Adrienne...

you know what we have to do?

Fly to Vegas?

Kidding.

Just, just kidding.

So, you see, I was trying to do everything humanly

and inhumanly possible

to make this visit everything it was supposed to be

and everything you paid your hard-earned money for.

So, on behalf of J. Thomas Parnell Celebrity Tours,

I'd like to offer you our humblest, abject apology.

And just to show you how truly sorry I truly am

since the bus was late, the motel wasn't booked

and the film festival got cancelled

and since you missed getting to meet Burt Reynolds in person...

Look, it's Burt!

(crowd gasping)

We left no stone unturned in finding for you,

ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Burt Reynolds.

Hi, how are ya?

Where's Nat?

He's out sick today, sir.

Who are you? I'm Brandon.

Hi. Nice to see you.

Steve Sanders, Mr. Reynolds.

We met years ago.

My mom did a cameo for you on Smokey And The Bandit.

Oh, really? You're not my son are you?

I'm just kidding,

Tell your mom she owes me one.

You're a great kid.

Get off my stool. That's my favorite stool.

STEVE: It's his favorite stool.

Okay, just give me the names.

Heidi.

Oh, Heidi. Heidi, I love Heidi...

ANDREA: You guys, you should've seen her.

"Make my day," she says to him.

Didn't bat an eyelash.

That was dangerous. You could've gotten hurt.

I know, but I just got so mad.

And the security guys, they were great.

I mean, they were right on top of it.

Well, I don't think Dean Anderson's

gonna be graduating with us.

You can count on that.

Yeah, well, at least you got all your stuff back.

Yeah, thanks to Donna.

No, thanks to Brenda for making me take that self-defense class.

You're welcome.

All right, you guys, it's time to hit the road.

You guys...

There's just one more thing I have to do.

(screaming)

DAVID: We almost missed the bus

'cause we couldn't get Andrea off the Viper.

You guys, I never believed anything could feel that great.

Well, besides...

Besides what?

Oh, honey, go put something on the juke box, okay?

Well, it sounds like you guys had a great time at Ditch Day.

I'm sorry I missed it.

I can't believe you met Burt Reynolds.

GINGER: He was terrific.

When he found out about the screening the fan club missed,

he just picked up the phone, and like that,

he's taking them to a screening

of Cop-And-A-Half tonight,

and a live taping of Evening Shade tomorrow.

Oh, I love that show.

He sounds like a really great guy.

Um, excuse me, I have to go use the restroom.

I think you know where it is.

So, Dylan, are you ready for the SAT's tomorrow?

Yeah.

I actually got a little time to cram

toward the end of the day thanks to Steve.

This time you won't forget to write your name on the test.

Shut up.

Excuse me, are you Brandon?

The waitress here says that you might know Marla Crawford.

Sorry, can't say I do.

I knew I made a mistake with that girl.

Knew it right in my gut.

Now I'm gonna have to call the cops.

Cops?

Yeah, she's got $5,000 of my money.

Well, just in case she shows up,

you can give me a call at this number.

ALL: J. Thomas Parnell.

Yeah, I've been arranging celebrity tours in this town

for over 20 years.

Well, J, why don't you, uh, stay here for just one minute.

Gentlemen.

Oh, Ginger.

Tina..

Adrienne.

(toilet flushing)

ALL: Oh, Marla...

I'm Marty. Who wants to know?

(engine starting)

(engine revving)

(tires squealing)

Where are your keys?! Where are your keys?!
