STEVE: Well, I know what all you guys are thinking.

Yeah, you're thinking that Steve-o is a little crazy,

a little cuckoo, a little whacko.

Well, it wasn't until I nailed

that half-court shot at the Laker game...

BRANDON: Here he goes again.

STEVE: That I realized that it was a once in a lifetime phenomenon.

Like us graduating from high school will never happen again.

Listen, Steve, I may not get to graduate

if I don't go back to the library soon, okay?

I've got two more final exams

I have to take tomorrow. Yeah, yeah,

and I've still gotta get Mrs. Teasley to sign off

before I can graduate, but that doesn't stop me

from wanting to do something special, with you guys.

Look, Steve, what you're proposing here

is an inspired idea, I'll give you that.

But I just don't think we have the time to pull it off.

Brandon, don't worry, I'll get the van,

I've already got the paint and the canvas,

so all I need to do is to consult with Donna about the design.

Well, I'd like to help, but couldn't we get in trouble?

What, like getting arrested for trespassing

and defacing private property, that kind of trouble?

Andrea, don't you want people to know that we were here?

Don't you want people to know that we mattered?

I say we do it.

I'm in.

Well, then, do we have a pact?

Do we go for the gold?

Ah, I didn't want to get any sleep on grad night anyway.

ALL: Yeah!

(music swells)

I can't believe I have known some of these people

for, like, 12 years.

It's definitely time to meet some new ones.

Come on, are you a little bit nostalgic about graduating?

Yes, I am, but I just

want to get this stupid rehearsal over with.

I mean, what's the big deal?

They call your name, you go up, you get your diploma,

you sit down, you go home.

Well, for someone who almost had to stay home

and miss the whole thing, they can rehearse me all they want.

Down, set... hike.

Yeah!

(laughing)

Yo! Did you see that, Bren?

Did you see that?

You're supposed to be the secondary.

Come on, stick 'em!

Dylan, the teams aren't exactly balanced, man.

Well, they're about to be a little more unbalanced,

'cause I'm outta here, babe. Cover for me, all right?

Hey, where you going bro? I'm meeting a guy for lunch.

Hey listen, you guys cover for me, too.

I gotta go to the Blaze

and see if the senior wills have been turned in.

Later. Later.

ANDREA: Testing, testing, one two, three.

Testing, testing, testing.

Okay, okay, that's fine.

You want to practice your speech?

No, thanks.

I'd rather not over-rehearse.

Well, uh, public oratory tends to be most compelling

when the confluence of language is unfettered

with the constraints of excessive repetition,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah, that's fine, Andrea.

That's fine.

Hey, hey, young David,

feeling a little burned out, brother?

Who me?

I love taking six finals in three days.

What's my name again?

Just be glad it's not Steve Sanders.

Read any good books lately, bro?

That's not very funny, Brandon.

Come on, Steve, look on the bright side.

It's the last day of school.

Mrs. Teasley cannot make you go to detention,

after you graduate.

If I graduate.

Steve...

No, why else would she release everyone

from detention but me, huh?

Maybe 'cause you're the only one who broke into the school

to try to change your grades with that stupid legacy key.

You didn't see the way this lady looked at me

when she told me to report to her office after school.

Why are you so paranoid?

I'm telling you, Brandon,

I can read this lady like a book.

She's got a hidden agenda here and I know it.

Otherwise, I'd be at the graduation rehearsal right now.

JIM: What do we got here?

Bacon cheeseburger for you,

and cottage cheese and fruit cup for me.

Is that what I have to look forward to?

Only if you eat too many of those.

So, how do you liked Berkeley?

Well, I could definitely see myself living

in a little place overlooking the bay,

assuming that I can get in.

Well, there's always California University.

Brandon's very excited about going there.

I won't be goin' anywhere until I get those test scores back.

You know, I think it was a very wise decision

to take those SAT's again.

Well, it was like my dad said,

the only way to prove to those bastards that I didn't cheat

was to take the test again and raise my scores.

Did I tell you I've been writing about him?

No. Your mom did.

How is Iris?

Oh, she's... Iris.

She is concerned about

what you're going to do with all your money.

What does she think?

I mean, does she really think that I'm gonna blow it all?

Does she really think I can't handle my own affairs yet?

No, that's not it.

So, why doesn't she just say a mantra, or whatever she does,

and have her accountant cut the check already?

She did.

Really?

That's it right there?

Better wipe your hands.

You don't want to get grease on a check

with this many zeroes in it.

That's a lot of money.

Yes, it is.

TEASLEY: I've warned you time and time again

until I was blue in the face.

And that's why I called your parents!

So, don't even think about coming in here

looking like that next year!

You are so lucky to be getting out of this place.

(knocking)

Come in.

Mrs. Teasley, am I catching you at a bad time?

No, not at all. Come on in.

Mrs. Teasley, before we start,

can I say something? No.

You know, Steven, it's been my experience

that every class has at least one unredeemable student--

a student whose values are so warped

that punishment has no effect.

Is this your way of telling me

that I'm not graduating tomorrow?

May I finish, please?

Sure. Knock yourself out.

And I realized early on

that you were the member of the Class of '93

whom I would have to write off...

until I realized I'd misjudged you.

You had?

Your grades since December have improved.

No doubt due to the extra study time in detention.

But the real awakening came when I found out

that on the day after

you had won $10,000 for making a half-court shot

at the Laker game,

someone donated $10,000

to the Alvarado Street Summer Camp Fund.

Really?

Someone whose return address

happened to be The Hartley House.

What a coincidence.

What a wonderful thing to do.

STEVE: Bro! Bro!

Mrs. Teasley's actually gonna write me a letter

of recommendation to any college I want to go to.

Do you know what this means?

This means that I get to go to any college I want to.

I'm gonna go to California University with you, man.

Steve, Steve, if you kiss me, I'm gonna slap you.

And you didn't think she liked me, did you?

She loves me, love.

She loves me, 'cause I'm...

For a year I wanted to do that to you!

Yes!

Oh, hey, the senior wills are finally here. How do they look?

I haven't had time to check them out.

I'm sure they're fine.

Still working on your speech, huh?

I'm just fine-tuning it.

Mm-hmm, Andrea, you've been fine-tuning it for a week now.

I'm sure it's as fine-tuned as it's gonna get.

It's still awful.

Andrea, come on.

No, I mean it.

It's pretentious, trivial, wishy-washy.

I don't even know what I can do with it anymore, Brandon.

Would it help you to run it by me later?

Brandon, you're great.

I love you.

The best.

Donna, wake up your boyfriend

With all the studying and rehearsing

for the Senior Breakfast, he's completely drained.

He's missing the Last Day of the Peach Pit Party right here!

NAT: Last day at the Peach Pit?

Last day of high school.

It's the last day of high school.

Nat, don't worry, because we're not gonna abandon you

just because we're graduating!

(whooping, shouting)

Greetings, graduates! Big boy! Big boy!

Where's Andrea?

Ah, she had some last-minute worries to take care of.

So, how are the Senior Wills looking?

Outstanding.

Did you bring us our advance copy?

Negative, young Kelly, you're gonna have to wait

to get yours at the Senior Breakfast

just like everyone else.

How come I don't get to leave anything in the Senior Will?

Yeah, and Nat ought to be an honorary member of the class.

Okay, Mr. Bussichio, what would you like to leave?

Well, I know what I'd like to leave your father.

(laughs): That karaoke machine

that almost put me out of business.

So, Nat, what would you leave me?

Uh... that singing group that came in here to serenade you.

Color Me Badd.

What about me, Nat?

Oh, that one's easy...

Laverne.

Wait, who's Laverne?

STEVE: She's that crazy chick who used to work for Nat.

(East Coast accent): Sir! Welcome!

I'm Laverne. Charmed, I'm sure.

NAT: I don't get it.

What is it, Halloween? Hey, don't you worry, pops.

You'll get no trick-or-treats with this little lady.

I'm strictly a class act.

A 100% U.S.-certified hostess with the mostess.

The special plate for 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?

Maybe we could get Laverne to make an appearance

at the Senior Breakfast. Oh, I don't know, if you're nice to her.

BRANDON: Hey, Jordan!

Mr. Grad-u-ate.

Congratulations.

Andrea told me your valedictorian speech

was very eloquent. Thanks.

But I think she's exaggerating.

Is she around?

No, she said she had some stuff she has to take care of.

I guess she forgot I was coming.

Well, tell her I stopped by and wish her good luck. I will.

Hey, Jordan,

um... do me a favor.

When you guys go back to New Haven,

don't let Andrea drive herself too crazy.

I won't, if she ends up going there.

What are you talking about? She's been dreaming

about going to Yale since she was born.

She didn't tell you?

She's having a lot of second thoughts about going.

Well, maybe she did mention something.

Did it ever occur to you

why she's having second thoughts?

(crickets chirping)

(Brenda laughs)

(laughs): Hi, guys.

Hey. What's wrong?

You got an envelope from the admissions office

of the University of Minnesota.

Thick or thin?

Very thick.

Looks like we've been admitted.

Ew.

What do you want me to do with these?

Oh, God, relics from the bimbo era.

I'll take those if you don't want them.

You don't know how much room you're going

to have in the new place... wherever that is.

I was assuming you both would be living in a dorm.

Perish the thought.

I haven't even been accepted anywhere yet.

Well, I guess I'll put these in the "maybe" pile.

God, talk about change.

New house, new school, a new life.

Hi, froggy.

I know, it's like you work so hard to get to the end

of something, and all of a sudden it starts all over again.

Yeah, but not from square one.

I mean, you're actually cool now.

Nothing compared to what you used to be.

Wait, are you saying that I was once a geek?

Well, I remember what you were like

when Mel and Jackie started dating.

Hey, Kel.

Hi.

I heard your mom and my dad

had a pretty swinging time last night.

That's not what I heard.

No, seriously.

I think they already set up another date for this week.

Wouldn't it be cool

if we ended up step-brother and step-sister?

(eerie music playing)

(shower running)

(water stops)

David, get out of here!

Mom!

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in here.

Get out of here, now!

I-I'm sorry...

Oh, my God.

(groans)

Okay, I've apologized for that numerous times already.

I know, I know.

Living with you actually turned out to be kind of fun.

I just wish Mel and Jackie's

marriage had worked out.

Yeah, well, at least you got a baby sister out of it.

And a brother.

Anybody want some more fudge?

I think we're fine, Mom. No.

Okay, on the plus side for Minnesota,

it has an exceptional drama department,

you can take your junior year abroad...

You can do that through California University, too.

Not in Paris.

You've already been to Paris.

Brandon, what is it with you?

Look, I understand why you applied to Minnesota,

but seeing as everyone's getting along so well now,

California University is rated as a much better school.

Not to mention the fact-- Dad, you'll appreciate this--

it's also a much cheaper school.

BRENDA: Brandon, just because I got in,

doesn't mean I have to go.

Fine, then I guess it's settled.

Well, I don't think we should be too hasty about this.

I'd like to keep my options open.

JIM: Well, another plus for California University,

aside from being a great school.

Thank you.

All your friends are here.

And we're here.

I don't have to make my decision right now, do I?

(Brandon chuckles, doorbell rings)

I'll get it.

Sorry, Mom.

Listen, Brenda,

this going away to school, um...

it doesn't have anything to do with Dylan, does it?

Mom, this is the '90s.

What kind of insecure wuss chooses a college

based on where some guy is going?

Hi!

What are you eating?

"And so, as we travel the unfathomable paths

"which weave before us, we do so with the clarity

of our vision and the certainty of our stride..."

Wait, do you think that that should be

the "strength of our convictions"

or the "strength of our certainty"?

I'm still back on "the unfathomable path."

It's the worst, isn't it?

No, no, no, it's not the worst.

It just seems like you're trying to conform to some image

of what you think you should be saying

instead of deciding what it is you want to say.

You're right.

You are absolutely right, but what am I supposed to do?

If I throw this out, I will have to do

a page one rewrite by tomorrow.

I can't do that, I will be a basket case.

I don't even know what I would write about.

Andrea. I mean, how do I know that

that speech would be any better than this speech?

Andrea. You know what?

I may as well tell them I have laryngitis

because at this point, Brandon, it would not be so far

from the truth, my throat is killing me, I don't even...

Andrea, get a grip on yourself, would ya?

Look at yourself, relax.

You're having a panic attack.

The speech is not that bad.

It just needs a little fine-tuning.

In fact, I'll help you with it

for as long as it takes, okay?

Brandon... how am I going to get

through college without you?

I'm sure you'll manage.

You know, the day you walked into that newsroom,

I knew... knew that you were special.

You thought I was tripe the first time you met me.

Yeah.

But that all changed after you followed me home

to my parents' house in Van Nuys.

That is the day that I knew that I could trust you.

And so began a beautiful friendship.

Well, it hasn't been just a friendship, has it?

I guess you could say our relationship's

had its ups and downs.

So what's the big surprise, huh?

Well, I've, uh...

I've got a going away present for you.

Well, what is it?

Uh, well, um...

(giggles): Ta-da...

What?

The carousel, the horse, what?

No, I'm....

I'm giving you the person on my horse.

Uh, if you'll take her.

What?

Look, Brandon, we may never see each other again and I...

I want good-bye to be a moment we both remember.

Oh, my God!

I know exactly why this speech isn't working.

Why?

Because it's not coming from the heart.

It is exactly like you said.

I am trying to live up to this image of being a Yalie,

when I know deep inside I should probably

just stay in town and go to California University.

Andrea, you've got to go to Yale.

You can't give that up because of me, I'm not worth it.

Brandon... It's true that we challenge

and support each other and all that, it's very true.

Brandon... But we just don't have the kind of relationship

that you should give up your life's dream for.

Just hold it, okay, Brandon.

You are starting to sound like me.

I am? Yes.

If I don't go to school back East,

it's because I don't want to be in hock for the rest of my life.

I mean, do you know how expensive Yale is?

I think I have a pretty good idea.

Sorry I jumped to conclusions.

It's okay.

(knocking)

Hey. Hi, Smush.

Kel, if you tell anybody that I let you call me that

I'll kill you. (TV playing)

Well, my lips are sealed.

That's the way I like them.

What are you watching?

Oh, I'm not really watching.

I was just sort of reading about California University.

Oh, really? Yeah.

I think we'd have a good time here.

You think so, huh?

Well, my dad was real high on the idea

of me going to college, so...

I don't know, I figure I'll check it out

for a little while.

I suppose, but the thought of going back to school

for four more years is just overwhelming.

Well, at least we'll be overwhelmed together.

You've used that line on me before.

Have not. Yes, you have.

When?

The night in the pool.

KELLY: This was a good idea.

I'm full of good ideas.

(Kelly laughs)

Don't do that if you don't mean it.

I mean it.

Well, you're in trouble now.

Dylan, what if Brenda had come tonight?

(laughs)

She didn't.

So is that how you made up your mind?

'Cause she's not here?

Maybe.

Mel and my mom are breaking up because he was fooling around.

I just can't feel that great about being the other woman.

Look, it was you two who gave me that dumb ultimatum.

You said choose.

I chose and I chose you.

I want you.

I've always wanted you.

(doorbell ringing)

Why does this always happen to us?

(sighing): Don't move.

Who is it?

Dylan, it's me.

It's my mother.

(huffs)

Unbelievable.

Hi!

(sighs)

What a pleasant surprise.

Did you really think I'd miss your graduation?

You missed practically everything else in my life.

Oh, you're in a snarly mood.

Aren't you the least bit tickled to see me?

I'm stunned actually.

Can't you pick up the phone like a normal person

and call and let me know that you're coming?

Because I was afraid you'd tell me to stay home

and I was hoping we could spend a few days together.

Besides, half the fun is catching you

with a girl in the bedroom.

Did I, did I catch you with a girl in the bedroom?

No, no, you didn't, we were on the couch.

Kelly!

You're still with Kelly?

You know, you barge in here,

you expect me to welcome you with open arms

when the fact of the matter is

when I needed you, you were unreachable.

I was on a trek in the Andes.

Oh, yeah, I was just at my father's funeral.

And I called you as soon as I heard. Right.

What'd you expect? It was bad timing, you and I, huh?

(clears throat)

Hi, Kelly.

I would love to stop and chat, but apparently this visit

is going to be shorter than I thought.

What's it going to be?

The Hilton or the Bel Age?

That will not be necessary. It's on me.

So I see I've outlived my usefulness

now you're a full-fledged millionaire.

DYLAN: Yeah, reservations, please.

Did he rush right out and get a Gold Card?

Hi, this is Dylan McKay.

I need your best suite

for Iris McKay.

Make sure it's non-smoking.

I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize, dear.

Just be careful.

(grunts) Brandon!

Where are you at, man?

(straining) Brandon!

Dylan, get back, man, the ledge is going to go.

All right, man, grab my hand.

I-I can't, man, I can't let go.

You gotta try.

Come on.

(grunts)

Don't look down.

Look up here.

Look right here.

All right, come on.

(both grunting)

(applause)

And for being so graceful on the gridiron,

your trophies.

Let's give it up for the varsity backfield.

You're dead, Silver.

Thank you, Tony.

And now, Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor, come on down.

Uh-oh. Hey, now.

Here goes nothing.

Now, you guys don't know this,

but Brenda and Kelly are the only students at West Beverly

to ever win a prize on a radio call-in show

and I don't think either of them will ever forget

the prize that they won.

Okay, everybody, watch the monitors.

I don't know, Kel.

This might have to be a solo mission on your part.

KELLY: Brenda, I couldn't do that to you.

You're my best friend.

I have to help you face your fears.

No, Kelly!

(both screaming)

This is so amazing!

Brenda, get me down!

(both screaming)

(cheering and applause)

Here's a little memento of that experience

for both of you.

Ooh. Thanks.

But don't go yet

because I want you guys and Donna to turn the clocks back

and say hello

to Hello Day.

(cheering and applause)

Wasn't that great, everybody?

Brenda and Kelly were up

all night writing and choreographing that one.

Good job, guys.

I just want you to know that was not my idea.

Hey, I'm not complaining.

You guys want to get up there and make fools of yourselves,

be my guest.

Thanks for being here.

It's been a great year and, uh...

Not so fast, Davey.

What retrospective would be complete without an award

to West Beverly's #1 song-and-dance man, huh?

Hit it, Gary.

What's he doing?

You'll see.

(music playing)

(crowd cheering)

Oh, this is from the spring dance.

Yeah, the pre-Donna era.

You guys, this is great.

I missed most of it because I came late that night.

Yeah.

I missed most of it, too.

Dylan, this is so beautiful.

Do you know

why I'm so lucky?

Why?

How many girls get to have sex for the first time

with someone they love?

I don't know.

I've never really taken an opinion poll.

Mm.

Dylan! Whoo!

Dylan, stop!

Put me down!

(huffs) I'm sorry.

I just can't control myself.

Well, don't fight it.

We are in the room.

We certainly are.

(music playing)

(crowd cheering)

Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

You got a standing ovation.

Doesn't that count for something?

I just feel kind of burned out, that's all.

Well, of course you do.

I mean, anybody would

with the schedule you've been carrying all this year.

But it's over now.

(sighs)

Yeah, it's over.

Now I can't figure out

why I've been pushing myself so hard

when I could have just stayed

and been king of the mountain for another year.

David, you wanted to be with your friends.

I didn't want to be left behind, but...

it's like everyone knows what they're gonna do except me.

I don't know. I just feel like the gang's breaking up.

Well, you still have me.

KELLY: Steve, this project was a great idea.

STEVE: Thank you.

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve,

try not go get your pawprints on everything.

Oh, like you're one to talk, huh?

You guys, this is so classy.

DONNA: Yeah, it's getting there.

Yeah, well, it would have gone a lot quicker

if Zuckerman and Silver hadn't flaked out on us.

Excuse me, David needed some sleep.

Yeah, and Andrea seemed very edgy at the senior breakfast.

Yeah, I would be, too, if I had to stand up

in front of all those people and give a speech like that.

Actually, she's a lot more stressed out

about Yale than anything else.

Yeah?

The pressures of the Ivy League?

Actually, the pressures of how to pay for the Ivy League.

She's seriously considering staying here.

Man, that sucks. You know, Yale is one of the best colleges

in the country. If they accepted her,

she should go.

Well, maybe you should give her some financial aid.

BRANDON: Yeah, bro, you're going to be

a multimillionaire one day. You know,

come to think of it, I could use some aid myself.

So could I.

Yeah, couldn't we all?

I'm sorry.

I was... just kidding.

We'll talk about it later.

Oh, good, you're home early.

Well, it isn't every day

your kids graduate from high school.

Isn't that the truth?

So where are our scholars?

Oh, they're out back with Dylan and Kelly and company.

The gang's all here.

And she asked us not to say anything

about Minnesota in front of them.

Which means what?

I don't know... and I don't think she does either.

(sighs)

They grow up so fast.

Remember the first time we left them home alone?

(sighs)

How could I forget?

Ah...

Oh, this is heaven.

Honey, I see Trudy.

Where? Over there.

Quick, let's duck down.

It's no use. They're wearing robes.

They're coming this way.

Honey, we must be on the same wavelength.

We have been looking all over for you lovebirds to see

if you want to take a little splish-splash with us,

and here you are,

right where we were hoping you'd be.

How are you tonight, Cindy?

I'm fine, Bob.

How are you?

I'm game.

Speaking of games,

we've got a tennis game tomorrow...

TRUDY: Oh, come on now,

Jimbo, I've been waiting all weekend to go around

the goosy-goosy, ducky-ducky with you.

What's she talking about?

I don't know.

But, honey, Trudy and Bob aren't wearing bathing suits.

Oh, my God.

(phone ringing) If that's them,

I'm going straight to the management.

Jim... It's almost 2:00 in the morning, for God's sake.

(ringing continues)

Hello.

Mom, it's me.

Hi, Brenda.

Sorry I called so late.

What's wrong?

Brandon was in a car accident tonight,

but he's okay.

Brandon was in a car accident.

Brenda, what happened?

He was driving alone.

So I don't really know.

But he's all right.

Where's Brandon now, honey?

He's in jail, Daddy.

They arrested him for drunk driving.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

That had to be the worst night I ever spent.

Oh, and the next few days afterwards were...

so tense around here.

That they were.

Oh, hi.

I was getting into this novel your mom recommended.

Actually, I was hoping we could talk.

Yeah, me, too.

'Cause... the other night

wasn't exactly the first time I had a drink.

I figured as much.

How'd you know?

Believe it or not I was your age once, too.

And you lived to tell about it?

So will you, Brandon.

I've always been a sucker for happy endings.

Ozzie and Harriet alert, left flank.

Steve, that's our parents you're talking about.

Besides, what does that make us, David and Ricky?

No, no, no, Mr. Walsh, you can't look.

It's a surprise.

Forget about it, Dad.

The backyard is off limits until further notice.

You're just gonna have to wait

with the rest of America until we graduate.

Them's da breaks, Jimbo.

You know, the first time I met you, you were just as filthy

as you are now. Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm, only it was from the grease from Brandon's car.

Yeah, I asked you if I could take a shower.

And I said yes.

(shower running)

Brandon, can't you ever shut the door?

I mean, it's hot enough in here already!

Sorry.

Uh, no, it's okay.

You, uh, keep popping up on me today.

Yeah.

So you were saying you're, uh... into videotape, huh?

Yeah, I like movies.

You ever see Animal Crackers?

You know, Marx Brothers?

I think so, on TV.

Oh, it's so much better on the big screen.

It's too bad you're on duty tonight

or you could see what I mean.

Well, actually my plans got poxed.

You want to come along?

Yeah.

(phone ringing)

CINDY: Hello.

Iris!

Oh, it's so nice to hear your voice.

Iris...

Tell her I'm not here.

Well, yes, he's right here.

Um, just a minute.

Oh, what now?

It's for me?

I'll take it inside. That's my cue.

Oh, no, you're not bailing on us, McKay.

Come on, man, it's a masterpiece.

You guys can handle it. Later, bro.

I'm out of here, too.

Donna, you can't leave.

You're my inspiration for this. Right.

I think everybody's gonna bail on you at this point.

What time is your hair appointment?

Brenda, where are you going?

Steve, I'm walking my friends to their car, is that okay?

All right, all right, go ahead.

Your brother and I'll just wait here till the paint dries.

In the meantime, I'm sure he's gonna challenge me

to a game of all-world horse, and in that case,

I'm just gonna have to whip his butt.

Oh, yeah, oh yeah.

The form that made him famous!

So, what was that again?

It's between the legs, spin in the air,

fade away jumper.

No handstands? No cartwheels?

None of that, I'm saving that all

for the playoffs, big guy. Okay.

Bran, you know one of the reasons

why you and I clicked so well

is because you need me to push you past

the bounds of the normal, the ordinary, the conventional.

Straight into the cesspool of corruption and depravity.

I wouldn't go that far.

Oh, no?

Do you remember the night we went out trolling for chicks?

Steve? What?

You remember those two girls who were waiting

out in front of the club when we were trying to get in?

One of them's wearing a pair of biker shorts

with garter belts sticking out under the stockings

and the other one's wearing one of those tops that

looks like a bra, but isn't a bra, but is a bra.

Yeah, they were hot.

They're coming this way.

Oh, I knew we were gonna get lucky.

Hi. Hi.

Hi. Hi.

God, I love your car, it's so hot.

So what're you ladies doing this evening?

I don't know.

What are we doing?

I wanna drive it.

What?

Your car, I wanna drive it.

Sure, anytime.

I wanna... I wanna drive it now.

Now?

Um, everybody out of the car.

Trina wants to drive it.

Now?

Only for a minute, I wanna drive around the parking lot.

(gears grinding)

Easy... she's stripping my gears.

Had enough yet?

No. Come on!

What, what're you doing?

Where you going?

What's going on?

Steve, I don't think they're coming back.

Brandon, shut up. They're coming back.

We're gonna wait right here until they do.

I can't believe what a moron I am.

What's my dad gonna say about this?

What if people at school find out?

I'm gonna be totally humiliated.

You gotta swear.

You gotta swear you're not gonna tell anybody about this.

Scout's honor.

What? Scout's honor.

No one's ever said that to me before.

Well, that's the problem, Steve.

Things like this don't happen to good Scouts.

Is it too late to join?

I never did make a very good Boy Scout.

You've come a long way, Steve.

Even Mrs. Teasley thinks so.

Well, my abilities as a scam artist

have certainly improved anyway.

You know that letter of recommendation

Mrs. Teasley is writing for me? Yeah.

Well, she's only doing it because of that $10,000

I won at the half court shot.

Well, I anonymously donated that

to the Alvarado Street School.

That's not a scam, Steve.

That's a good deed.

Yeah, it is a good deed.

But I made sure that my anonymous donation

was eminently traceable

to a Mr. Hartley of the Hartley House.

I see, you wanted to be found out

so you'd be rewarded, is that it?

Bingo.

Still Steve, you took a big chance with that money.

And either way, a lot of kids from East L.A.

are gonna have a great summer thanks to you.

Face it, Sanders.

Deep down you're a Boy Scout, too.

And you're H-O-R-S.

Not for long, watch this.

All right. Through the legs.

H-O-R-S, through the legs,

turn around, fade away jumper. Ready?

Here we go.

Walsh!

David, do me a favor, if you're going to mope,

would you do it somewhere else, please?

You know, you're acting like such a wet noodle.

You didn't even ask me how it went at the Walshes' house.

Did you finish? Yes, we did.

And it's incredible, you should've been there.

Yeah, well, the way things are going,

I'm not so sure I'll be coming tonight.

What are you talking about?

We are graduating for God's sake.

What, are you still upset

about misnumbering your chemistry test?

Well, I figure if I flunk

they'll still let me stay another year.

Why would you want to do that?

You already did high school.

I mean, just think about how much you've done

since the ninth grade.

But that's the problem.

Every time I think about being a freshman,

I think about Scott.

♪ Breaking up is hard to do ♪

♪ They say that breaking up... ♪

Hi.

Hey. Hey, I...

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I didn't know the rifle would weird you out.

You sure did change this summer.

I just went away for vacation.

I didn't change that much.

Well, maybe I did.

Yeah, you're a big man around here now,

and... and I'm still a geek.

You're not a geek.

Maybe we can hang out next week.

Yeah, I'll call you.

Yeah.

Scott.

Cool it with the guns, will you?

Okay.

DAVID: Scott! (gunshot)

Why don't you just tell me something about Scott.

Just some memory.

Just something that not too many other people would know

and we'll leave it at that.

Well, he sucked his thumb till he was eight.

Is that what you had in mind?

Come on, David, we're putting out this issue

as a tribute to Scott.

Why?

So people can glance at it and then throw it in the garbage?

No, so people can get some kind of an idea as to who he was.

Look, he was a jerk, okay? (microphone feedback)

He was a jerk who blew himself away, that's who he was.

You don't know, you left early.

You missed out on the fun part when he picked up a loaded gun

and twirled it around like Wyatt Earp.

You weren't there to see him goof up

and shoot himself and bleed all over

his mom's Persian rug.

David, the microphone is on.

I don't care.

No one gave a rat's ass about Scott until he died.

And I was the worst one of all.

He was my best friend and I dropped him

because he wasn't cool like you or Kelly or Steve.

David.

So they're looking at me.

So what?

They've been looking at me for days, Brandon.

I can't even walk through the hall without somebody

in my face trying to cheer me up like they're my new best friend.

Well, what about my old best friend?

It doesn't matter what you write about him

in that paper, Brandon.

It doesn't matter what you say

about somebody once they're gone.

What matters is how you treat them when they're still here.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Oh, hi, Donna.

Well, you can ask him yourself.

She wants to know how you're feeling.

I'm starting to come around.

Just let me know when you're done.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

KELLY (on phone): Hi.

Hi, what's up?

Not too much.

I'm just getting ready to go out for my manicure.

I wanted to check in.

Uh-huh. I also wanted to say

that I'll never talk about your bank account again.

It's no one's business, especially mine.

I appreciate the call.

See you in a couple of hours?

With bells on.

Bye. Bye.

(dial tone, phone beeps off)

So there I am sitting at the Senior Breakfast,

and I'm thinking about Minnesota.

And I wanted to say, "Hey, everybody, I got in."

But something held me back.

Maybe you thought they would try and convince you to stay?

Or maybe I was scared that they wouldn't.

What do you want to do?

I'm torn.

My surefire remedy in a case like this

is to just flip a coin.

Is that what you did with me and Kelly?

Sorry, that didn't come out right.

You don't have to answer that.

No, I want to.

Because what I think you're really asking me is,

if there were no Kelly, would you and I still be together?

The thought has crossed my mind.

The truth is...

I don't know.

I loved you more than I ever thought

I could love anybody, maybe that was the problem.

It was just too intense for both of us.

Yeah, I guess right from the start it was...

it was just so volatile.

Look, do you wanna take a walk on the beach or something?

Oh, yeah, check out the homeless people? That'll be great.

Dylan, I don't know what happened up there!

That's right, you don't!

If you'd let me finish...! Excuse me.

I have a knack for interrupting things.

Dylan... I'm real good at interrupting

because I've had just about enough noise

for one night, okay?!

Excuse me, can you get me a taxi, please?

Forget the taxi!

No, I want a taxi!

No, just come on, damn it!

Stop yelling at me!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Just let me go.

Brenda, I'm an idiot. Please don't leave.

You're scaring me!

I'm sorry.

Dylan, what happened?

He just gets to me.

He always gets to me.

I don't know what I'm supposed to...

(moans)

It's okay.

(sobbing)

We did have some good time, though.

Like that week in Baja when you taught me how to surf

and we danced all night.

Not all night.

Too bad my dad couldn't understand

what we were all about. Hmm.

Where is she?

She doesn't want to see you.

That's too bad.

You tell her to get her things and come out here.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

I'm not leaving, Daddy.

You get your bags young lady, we're going home.

No.

Not until you accept Dylan as part of my life.

We'll talk about it at home.

That's not good enough.

Brenda, you come out here right now. (door closes)

So what're you gonna do?

You gonna go down and drag her out kicking and screaming?

That's what this has come to.

Dylan, whatever this has come to,

it hasn't come to that.

I guess that was the beginning of the end.

Yeah, for us to live together at that point

was a huge mistake.

And you got so incredibly offended

when I tried to clean this place up.

Well, hey, dust adds a little character.

I guess Kelly doesn't mind it, huh?

I guess not.

Was that her on the phone before?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell her I was here?

She didn't ask.

But I have a question for you, Bren.

Why'd you come over here?

I guess I wanted to say good-bye.

In private.

How private?

(doorbell chimes)

Ooh, saved by the bell.

IRIS: Dylan, are you there?

It figures.

Is that Iris? Who else?

Do you mind telling me exactly what it is

you have against the telephone?

I'd rather you told me what it is you have against me.

That was a very chilly reception you gave me last night.

I thought it over, and it's come to this:

my bags are packed.

And either the taxi takes me

straight to your graduation ceremony

or to the airport.

It's up to you.

Mom, the graduation, it doesn't start for 90 minutes.

I guess I'm still on Hawaiian time.

Come on in.

Say hello to Brenda.

Brenda!

Iris, hi. Good to see you.

Well, it's good to see you.

I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.

No, actually I was just leaving.

I just came to get some advice from an old friend.

Bye. I'll see you in 90 minutes.

Bye. Bye.

KELLY: Mom.

Yeah? I'm getting ready to head over.

Look for me in the "T's."

I'll see you there.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Are you proud of me?

Yes, you better be.

You know, she's getting so big

and I have known you your whole life, Erin.

Just think, if I hadn't stayed here this summer

to help you with the baby, then...

Dylan and I may have never gotten together.

See, sometimes things do work out.

Yep, although that living together idea,

you don't have to worry about it.

It's not in the cards.

What did he say?

I didn't even bring it up.

I mean, I know he cares about me,

but he really is a loner.

He reminds me of your father.

Let's just hope he doesn't turn out to be

so much of an emotional no-show.

Well, at least Dad called.

Yeah, he should've been here.

Well, I think I know what I'll major in in college.

Psychology.

I may join you.

I'll see you over there.

Bye. Wish me luck.

BRENDA: Why are you wearing a tie?

This is a very solemn occasion.

I can't believe this day has finally come.

Yeah, believe it.

It's time for the big sayonara.

Yeah.

We've been through a lot together

over the past three years.

Ah, it's been a piece of cake.

(scoffs)

Maybe for you, Mr. Confident, Mr. I've Got It Wired.

Come on, Bren.

When we first moved here, I was pretty spooked.

That's not how I remember it.

I miss Minneapolis.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

Nothing was this complicated.

Brandon, are we going to make it here?

Well, the houses are bigger, the weather's warmer,

but it doesn't mean they've cracked the meaning of life,

know what I mean?

Yeah, I know.

Yes, I always was a sage, even as a wee young laddie.

You know what else you are?

(laughs)

If you can't say something nice...

Seriously, Brandon.

Okay, Bren, what else am I?

No matter how crazed or bent out of shape I ever got,

you were always there for me and I'll never forget it.

You really are my best friend.

Well, I hope I always will be.

STEVE: I can't believe my mom's here signing autographs.

And there's my father.

You like your dad.

Yeah, but did he have to bring the Wicked Witch of the North

and the three flying monkey children?

Well, at least he came.

Yeah, Steve,

just click your heels together three times

and you'll be home before you know it.

Yeah, well, speaking of heels, big guy,

those are some pretty kicking boots.

What did they set you back, about 800 bucks?

Just a graduation present.

Your mom get you those?

Steve, what does it matter where I got 'em

or how much they cost?

They're just boots, all right?

So how are you doing?

I'm psyched.

I made some final adjustments on my speech

and if my throat holds out, I'll be great.

Good, good, glad to hear it.

I'd better get some water.

I'll be right back.

KELLY (sing-songy): Donna.

I just wanted to wish you good luck.

What's the matter?

Well, when I think

if it wasn't for you and Brandon and everyone,

I wouldn't even be here.

I love you, too.

Hey, hey, hey, can I get in on this action?

Well, that's a major mood swing.

Yeah, well, I just talked to Ms. Temaka

and it seems that I got the second highest grade

on my chemistry exam.

The one you thought you flunked?

Guess that says something for misnumbering.

Guess so.

Oh, come here, you guys.

We're graduating!

Hey, Andrea, good luck on that speech.

Thank you.

(chuckles)

I'm real proud of you, son.

And if it takes the pressure off, I just want you

to know that you don't have to go to college on my account.

From here on out, you got to do what's right for you.

drum roll

(fanfare playing)

It's show time!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Break a leg, chief.

Thanks, ace.

Let's do it.

♪ ♪

(crowd applauding)

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the graduating class

of nineteen hundred and ninety-three.

Andrea, what's the matter?

I lost my speech.

H-Hey, Andrea, don't worry about it.

You've been over it so many times

I'm sure you have it memorized by now.

I'm glad that you're so sure about it

because I am a complete and total blank.

And so I am honored to introduce

valedictorian of the class of 1993.

Ugh!

I'm seeing spots.

I am hyperventilating.

Maybe if you put your head between your knees.

I'd rather put my tail between my legs.

Andrea.

Brandon, I am going to be the laughingstock of Beverly Hills.

Nobody is going to laugh at you.

Right, they're just going to throw things at me.

All right, knock it off.

That's enough.

You're not going to wimp out on me, you hear?

On you?

Damn right on me.

I helped you work on that speech for hours

and I've listened to you agonize for years

over your grade point average

and your permanent record

and I'm not going to let you blow this.

Now, you've practically got a photographic memory,

so you get yourself together, you get up there,

and you use it, you hear me?

MEYERS: As the faculty advisor...

Thanks, Brandon.

You're welcome.

Um, j-just one thing....

Do you remember how my speech started?

And so without further ado,

let us all welcome Andrea Zuckerman,

valedictorian,

class of 1993.

Thank you...

(microphone feeds back)

...Mr. Meyers,

Ms. Teasley, uh, fellow graduates,

ladies and gentlemen.

Uh, today we stand here united as a class.

Tomorrow we go our separate ways as individuals...

on our own... i-individually.

We...

we do this

to follow the paths... unfathomable paths

which weave before us...

Oh, no.

What's the matter?

She went back to the old version.

Oh. (chuckles)

We do so with the certainty...

with the certainty...

(sighs)

...that we don't have the faintest idea

what we're doing at all.

(laughter)

(applause)

Which could be a very frightening prospect

in a world where the...

in a world where the boundaries of nations

and the balance of nature can change overnight,

except that the years that we have spent at West Beverly

have given us the foundation to face that future.

We haven't just learned facts and figures,

logic and reasoning skills,

but we have learned the value of friendship...

friendship, loyalty, and love,

which will not be diminished just because we may not

end up together.

The memories that we have shared will not go away

simply because we do.

So even if the future does not always meet

our expectations

or the fates are cruel

to us at times,

no one...

can ever take this moment from me.

From me, from you, from any of us.

No one can ever take away

this moment in time.

(applause)

COACH CHAPMAN: Gary Achatell.

Michael Anderson.

Ross Anderson.

You know, they don't really give you your diploma now.

It's just a blank piece of paper.

So does that mean you don't want it?

Are you crazy?

(chuckling) Come on.

STEVE: Look out, your dad just took out the video camera.

DAVID: Oh, you know how dads are.

Not really.

He didn't even have the courtesy to call this time.

He had some woman who claimed to be his secretary

call and leave a message for me...

"Your father's very sorry,

but he'll make it up to you next time."

Kel, you gotta believe there'll be a next time.

Bradley Luganis.

(applause)

Denise Maplethorpe. Donna's up next.

Donna Martin.

I don't intend to sleep with you.

Oh, oh-oh-oh, it's-it's too soon.

I can see that.

No, I'm not gonna do that

with anybody.

You mean ever?

Well, with my husband of course.

I mean, I'm not entering a convent

or anything for God's sake.

It's just...

for right now, for me, life is complicated enough

without getting involved in a sexual relationship.

So I guess driving to Vegas is out of the question?

Brian Mackelroy.

Dylan McKay.

What's this?

Oh, a little leisure reading.

Byron, The Collected Works?

Mad, bad and dangerous to know.

That was him and that's me.

Daniel Messlier.

Marissa Neimon.

Jim Neigrant.

Niku Rushdie.

Steve Sanders.

David Silver.

Kelly Taylor.

Janice Thall.

Thomas Thatcher.

Ronald Thindell.

Kelly, I never knew you were so...

Schmaltzy?

"Sentimental" is the word I was looking for.

No, you don't understand.

My father's here.

Where?

Doreen Vantine.

Elizabeth Walker.

Brandon Walsh.

Brenda Walsh.

You just got to understand Brenda,

one minute you're my little girl and then...

all of a sudden you're taking pregnancy tests.

Things are moving kind of fast for your old man.

Well, maybe I'm not your little girl anymore.

You'll always be my little girl.

And last, but by no means least,

Andrea Zuckerman.

Congratulations, Andrea,

and good luck at Yale.

Thank you, Mr. Meyers-- I mean, Gil.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Class of 1993.

(applause)

(cheering)

BRANDON: Steve, Steve?

What time is everybody showing up tonight?

Late, very late.

After 2:00. Cool.

Dude, I am psyched.

It's grad night and you graduated!

Yes! Yes! Ah!

CINDY: Brandon, Steve.

BRANDON: What? Come on.

Come on, guys. (shutter clicks)

Great! Come on, everybody.

(all talking at once)

Okay, okay.

I'll be back.

Well, do you feel any different?

Yeah, I do.

It's not because I got a diploma,

and this will really sound bizarre to you.

I'm all ears.

I had this feeling all day,

very strongly, that Jack was with us.

I could swear for a minute that he was...

he was talking to me.

Well, maybe he was.

Let me get a picture of you two.

May I take one of the three of you?

Oh, we'd be honored. I'd love it.

Hi. Hey, how're you doing?

Good.

Guess where I'm going?

Dinner with your mom?

And my dad.

Your dad?

So that's your dad?

Yep, that's him.

Now I know how I'm gonna remember this day.

It's the day I saw my mom and my dad

together in the same place.

(phone ringing)

CINDY: Oh, let me guess.

It was Brenda calling to say, "Don't wait up."

No, it was Dylan.

He's coming over.

Now? I mean, it's so late.

He's coming over in three minutes.

He called from his new cellular phone.

Nothing quite as disconcerting

as the sight of a young man with cash to burn.

DYLAN: Did you ever notice

how people get a little weird around money?

Money'll do that to you.

Yeah, I'm not talking about the person who gets the money.

I'm talking about the people around him.

Well, the biggest trap that people fall into

when they suddenly find themselves

in a higher income bracket,

they start acquiring a lot of new possessions,

and new people.

In the process, they kind of lose touch with who they were.

Hmm... that's not gonna happen to me.

I hope you're right.

And to be sure...

I want to give my money back to you.

In the trust, like before.

You mean you spent all that energy

trying to get the money out of the trust

and now you want to put it back?

I want the same thing, you know, I mean,

where I get a check every month for my living expenses.

I just, uh... I'd like it to be a little more.

I can understand that.

And, uh, I need a sizeable advance.

I think I'm gonna go bum around Europe for most of the summer.

And what about college?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm coming back.

I suppose I'll get there eventually.

I just, I-I really need a break, Jim.

I think Jack would understand.

So...

you think the trust can be reinstated?

I think we can work it out.

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised.

I was afraid that you might fall into that trap.

Well, if I ever do, cut me off, all right?

Last thing I need right now is deep pockets.

So...

if you'll excuse me,

I got a date with some fools on the hill.

What are you guys doing up there anyway?

(chuckling): You'll find out.

You're as bad as Brandon.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Oh, boy.

Wow, look at the view.

Wait, are you sure this is the way?

Yeah. We just gotta be careful.

Of what?

Lions and tigers and bears.

(laughing)

BOTH: Lions and tigers and bears, oh, my.

Lions and tigers and bears...

Uh-oh.

BRANDON: Hey, munchkins, glad you could make it.

We were about ready to give up on you.

Well, we came as soon as we could.

Yeah, we left this great club to come here.

But we had to go home and change first.

Let's go get started.

We already finished.

You finished without me?

Yeah, it wasn't so hard.

Especially when Andrea went up the embankment

to set up the pulley.

Yeah, I never knew you were so nimble.

Must be all my years in the circus.

You were in the circus?

ANDREA: No, I was kidding.

Though I did have a lot of circus dreams.

Last fall when I kept having to walk on that high wire.

Wasn't that when you were waiting to see

if you got accepted to Yale?

No, that was right before I applied.

Are you still planning on going, Andrea?

Yeah.

I won't be the first person to take out a mortgage

on my future for a great education...

even though I'll miss

going to California University with the rest of you.

I'm not so sure that's where I'm going myself.

You'd rather go to Berkeley, huh?

I think I'll spend the summer knocking around Europe

and then see what happens.

How cool, bro.

STEVE: Very cool.

DAVID: Yeah, I'll say.

What about you, Bren? Have you decided yet?

Decided what?

Well, I'm not going to Europe,

but I'm not going to California University either.

Gonna take some time off?

No, I'm going to go to the University of Minnesota.

Are you kidding me? When did you decide this?

Well, I've been thinking about it

for a few weeks, but I really only made up my mind today.

And then, during Andrea's speech, I finally felt sure.

What did I say?

That even if we didn't all end up together,

it would be all right.

The kind of friendships that we have will last forever.

I sure will miss you.

Not more than me.

Not more than me, guys, thank you.

Yeah, right. Well, there are telephones.

And videophones.

Steve, you're gonna be the first guy on your block

to have one. I'm so proud of you!

Are you nodding off already?

No, I am not nodding off.

Bren, I can't believe you're leaving?

KELLY: I can't believe

you're leaving.

Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know...

I figure I'll start in Norway, work my way south,

you know, maybe go to Paris, jump over to London,

see some Shakespeare country,

and just keep going south

until I find the nicest beach

in Greece.

You got a passport?

Why, do you want me to go?

No, I wanna borrow it.

Of course, I want you to go.

Oh, I'd love to!

It's been a great ride with you guys.

Hey, it's not over yet, brother.

Aren't you tired?

No way.

Come on sleepyheads.

This is your wakeup call.

(chuckles) What time is it?

Time to roll outta here, let's go.

Where we going?

To get a better view of our legacy.

Let's go, brother.
