Whoa, looks like an all-nighter.

Yeah, make that an all-weeker, bro.

How you doing? How was Palm Springs?

Excellent. Excellent.

Hey, can you sport this for me?

Oh, yeah, that's good, Steve.

Brain food, huh?

Hey, I'm gonna need this.

This is a good sugar boost for me.

I have my first intramural volleyball game

against the Deltas later. A game?

Right at the beginning of finals?

Whose bright idea was that?

Hey, I don't make the schedule.

Oh, yeah, well, I guess with the KEG super crams

you're not gonna be fazed by it anyway, are ya?

Well, I wouldn't say that.

Since I got back from winter vacation

things at the house have been kind of chilly.

Are you kidding me?

After we got your breaking and entering charges dropped,

I thought they'd be erecting a beer can statue in your honor.

Not quite.

I think some of the brothers may feel I ratted to get off.

Does Mike Ryan think that?

No, Ryan doesn't think that.

But Sears has a lot of friends.

Hey, man, if you think Sears was the one who set you up,

I say you blow the whistle on him.

My dad said not to make waves.

Yeah, maybe he's right.

After your brothers see what a great spiker you are

on the volleyball court,

I'm sure you'll be their golden boy again.

Well, I hope so.

You want to come to the game?

No, I have to tutor D'Shawn Hardell.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because in order to get the charges against you dropped,

I had to promise Randall

I'd help D'Shawn prepare for his finals,

which is the same thing you should be doing.

Yeah, I know, but come on,

with all the static at the KEG House,

it's kind of hard for me to concentrate.

Well, you're not the only one.

I saw Silver today, man. He is freaked.

Why? Because he and Donna broke up?

No. Because they're still sharing the same apartment.

How could he break up with me on Christmas?

And all because I wouldn't sleep with him.

Donna, stop tearing yourself up.

You've made your decision.

Now don't be ashamed to live with it.

Has anybody seen my Cliff Notes?

On the couch.

So, how you doing?

Why couldn't Shakespeare write in normal English

like everyone else?

I, I meant about us.

Look, I told you already.

After finals, we'll figure it out, all right?

We've both got enough to worry about right now.

David, if you have a problem, then it's my problem, too.

I've got four finals, two term papers,

and a radio show every night.

Which one of my problems you want to start with?

Well, is there anything I can do?

Yeah. You can stay out of my way.

(phone ringing)

I'll get it.

Hello.

Hey, Kel. (playing "When the Saints Go Marching In")

No, no, just called to check in.

See if you were studying.

Did you have any doubt?

Never.

Dylan, what's going on over there?

It sounds like you're at the Mardi Gras.

Oh, well, that is Erica.

I bought her one of those electric keyboards.

You know, I got to tell you, having a family around--

it's like being at the carnival every day.

Well, they seem nice.

Yeah. Anyway, I just called to wish you luck.

Thanks. I love you.

All right, you, too.

You are a pretty quick learner.

Now, do you want to hear it so it sounds like a trumpet?

Hey, I wasn't born yesterday, okay?

I know a few things about the trumpet.

This is never gonna sound like a trumpet.

Oh, yeah? Just listen.

(synthesized trumpet notes playing)

That sounds like a trumpet.

It's amazing.

If you buy another one, we can jam.

There's a plan, huh?

What are you doing?

I'm just looking over the classifieds.

The holidays are over.

It's time we stopped being a burden on you.

No, Suzanne, you're no burden.

(chuckles): Well, this will be better.

I'll find a job, and we'll get a place of our own.

Then you can have a sister and a life.

Now do you want to hear it so it sounds like a flute?

Hey.

Honey, why don't you try learning another song, okay?

I'd like to play some Aerosmith.

But would you settle for "Swanee River"?

Rock on, sister.

(playing "Swanee River")

You know after the flood,

I never thought I'd get a second chance.

Well, maybe we're all getting a second chance.

♪ ♪

Well, my stats final is tomorrow.

Wednesday, I have romantic poetry, then theater history.

And on Thursday, I have English A.

Plus on top of all that, I still have to work.

Well, talk about a killer schedule.

I have three finals on one day.

Andrea, stop being so neurotic.

You could ace them all in your sleep.

I'd feel a whole lot better if I'd hear from Jesse.

What's going on?

We made an agreement we wouldn't talk during finals,

so I could concentrate, but I can't concentrate

because I keep wondering why he hasn't called.

Well, why don't you call him?

I can't. We made an agreement.

Okay, So maybe I am just a little neurotic.

Yeah, well, welcome to the club.

Well, of course, living on the same floor with Dan Rubin

hasn't made it any easier.

Andrea, try and remember:

it's better to be the rejector than a rejectee.

Just ask Donna.

Well, I wish I didn't have to be either.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you live on the floor?

Yeah, uh...

I'm Andrea Zuckerman.

I'm Cathy Fisher, your new resident advisor.

What happened to Dan Rubin?

Beats me.

All I know is that he requested a transfer to another dorm.

I see.

Well, welcome.

Thanks.

Get it, Keith! Get it, Keith!

Hey, man, you going to eat your Moon Pie?

Here, Muntz, knock yourself out.

(whistle blowing)

All right, time-out.

Forget it, man.

We'll get it back.

Let's get set up to return.

Keith, Carlos, you guys are out.

Taylor, Jackson, you guys come in.

Hey, wait a second. What about me?

What about you?

You can use the pine time to study for your finals.

Put me in, John. This is my sport.

At the Beverly Hills Beach Club,

I've been the captain on the championship team two years in a row.

You got me sitting on the bench?

What's up with that?

All right... Powell, you're out.

Muntz,

you come in.

So this is how it's going to be, huh?

Yeah, that's how it's going to be.

Sit down, Sanders. You'll get your chance.

(knocking)

Figuring out how many points

you're going to score against USF?

Hey, man, come on in.

I've been expecting you.

You have?

Well, you could've fooled me. The TV's not on.

What's the matter? Cable out?

There you go being your harsh self.

I'm ready to be tutored, man.

You're not kidding?

I need something to take my mind off that San Francisco game.

I'm starting Thursday. You know what I'm saying?

Well, if you're going to get this nervous about every game,

you could probably graduate in two years.

I'm not fooling.

I'm taking the final tomorrow, too.

Man, I'm down with Soc.

You're down with Soc?

You heard me.

Back home in my 'hood,

I witnessed a sociological system firsthand

and could identify its different strata.

You read Chapter 5. I'm impressed.

And Chapter 6.

Interdependent organizations?

That's nothing but a basketball team.

Was it something I said turned you around?

No, man. Something D'Tasha said.

D'Tasha? Is that... the girlfriend?

The twin sister.

Ah. She made me study

the whole damn holiday.

Said she'd whip my lazy butt

if I didn't start getting more out of college.

She works for minimum wage in a tire plant, you understand?

Yeah, I do. I got a twin sister myself.

Ah! Then you know what I'm talking about.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, man. Let's hit it.

(knocking)

Yeah?

Hey, Bren.

Hey.

Sorry to interrupt,

but I must have just missed your dad at the office.

Well, he's in the living room,

grumbling over some bills as we speak.

Have you studied?

Yeah, I'm getting there.

You know these Romantic poets are driving me crazy.

I don't think I will ever remember

who wrote what to whom and why.

Come over tomorrow.

We'll sort it out.

Well, thank you.

You can spend some time with Suzanne and Erica.

I got to tell you, Bren.

She is the cutest kid.

Well, it must be pretty incredible finding out

that you have a family all of a sudden.

I hope your father sees it that way.

Bye.

You want to do what?!

I want to give them ten grand.

Just enough to help them get back on their feet.

You know, Dylan,

I warned you about this from the very beginning:

all sorts of scam artists coming out of the woodwork,

laying claim to your inheritance.

Nobody is laying claim to anything, Jim.

I'm the one who's offering.

How do you know they are who they say they are?

Has she shown you any proof? No.

Pictures, anything?

No, Jim, but look, you didn't trust my father to begin with,

and he turned out an awful lot different than you thought.

It's my money.

I know, and I know how much it means to you

to have a sense of family,

but, Dylan, you got to be careful.

It's ten grand, Jim.

All right, how about you give them $5,000 for a start

with one condition.

What?

She gives you her Social Security number.

For, like, a tax write-off?

No. So I can do a background check.

What am I supposed to say to her,

"Look, here's some money to help you,

but I don't really trust you"?

Blame it on your cynical business manager.

Hey, if she's legit, she won't have any problem with it.

HOWARD: "The Best of The David Silver Show"?

That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

Like jumbo shrimp or wireless cable or something?

Come on, Howard.

Why can't we just rebroadcast one of my old shows

just so I can get through finals?

Silver, we go live 24 hours a day.

It's a bear, but we love it.

It's just kind of a rough time right now.

I just broke up with Donna.

Oh, man. That is tough.

I hurt her pretty badly, but I know it was for the best.

Then let her buck.

Cut loose.

Don't mope. Do the show.

I'm not looking to mope.

I'm looking to study.

I've got finals in classes I've hardly been in.

All right, I hear you.

Close the door.

Crystal meth.

The drug of choice for long-distance truckers

and DJs who want to take their finals.

This'll do the trick.

I don't know, man.

What does it do?

Everything.

You do a hit right now, study.

You'll go through your work like a chainsaw through butter.

Then you do a little bit right before your 2:00 a.m. shift,

you'll be in cruise control

till morning.

Get the OJ out of my fridge.

Here you go.

You didn't happen to hear my radio show, did you?

No, David, I didn't.

(laughs) Then you just missed one of the greatest raps

of the 20th century.

You know how everyone's so uptight about finals?

Well, I just tied it into the whole healthcare business,

the environment, campus parking, nuclear testing,

leaving price tags on gifts;

everything that makes us so paranoid.

Really?

You know what I think?

I think we were taught to live in fear.

Like, like, any second, disaster's gonna strike

and we got to be ready for it, but you know what?

You can't

'cause there's nothing you can do about it.

If something's gonna happen, it's gonna happen,

so you just got to go with the flow

and stop being so scared all the time.

It was all in my show. You didn't hear it?

No, I'm sorry. I was sleeping.

But I get the drift of it. It sounds great.

I got to tell you.

It's one of the best shows I've ever done.

David, I don't understand.

I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with me.

How can I have nothing to do with you

when we're living together?

Well, that's what I was hoping we could talk about.

I think we need to decide what we are to each other.

Listen, everything's going to be fine, all right.

Don't worry about it.

Do we have any orange juice left?

Oh, hey, Kel, listen.

Don't go anywhere, all right?

I want to tell you all about the radio show.

What's with Mr. Motor Mouth?

He must have had too much coffee.

You know, Kel, I think things are gonna work out.

Hey, bro, did you study?

Barely. I think I'm flunking life, Bran.

Oh, what's the matter?

Did the KEGs lose?

No, the KEGs won.

I got to play two minutes of garbage time

in the last match.

Sears froze me out.

KEG brothers are treating me

like I have the plague or something.

Well, you could always become an ex-frat slob.

I don't think I'm gonna give Sears the satisfaction.

So I think I'm gonna make a few waves.

You're gonna tell Ryan what happened during hazing?

Yeah, and I'm gonna name names.

Well, what about your father's advice?

I never took his advice before, so why should I start now?

Okay, people,

it all comes down to this.

Let's close the back doors, please.

This final has begun.

I should have known.

Known what? What's the matter?

D'Shawn's not here.

You got a pencil?

You're the best.

Sing it, Bren.

♪ Camptown ladies sing that song, doo-dah, doo-dah ♪

Yeah, like that.

♪ Oh, the doo-dah day ♪

♪ Gonna run all night ♪

♪ Gonna run all day ♪

♪ Bet my money on a bobtail nag ♪

"On the bay."

Yeah!

Yeah! Whoo!

Very good!

If you two are gonna get any studying done,

you better go do it.

Oh, one more time through and we will have it down.

Yeah, Kel, we need some percussion.

Grab a bongo drum and knock yourself out.

Why don't you invite the whole neighborhood

and we'll just have a marching band?

Hey, not a bad idea. What do you say, sis, huh?

Hey, Suzanne, how'd it go?

Oh, I don't know.

There don't seem to be too many openings for paste-up artists.

Mm, looking for a job

is the worst, isn't it?

Oh, I might just have to go back to waitressing.

Suzanne, could I, uh, talk to you outside a minute?

$5,000?

Well, I know you've been wanting to get your own place,

and you know, I figured there'd be some expenses, so...

Dylan, I don't know.

I really feel funny about this.

Please don't.

It's, uh, it's something I want to do for you.

Well, as long as you understand this is just a loan.

As soon as I get a job, I'm going to pay you back.

Suzanne, there's one more thing,

and I really hope that you don't have a problem with it.

I've got to get your Social Security number.

My Social Security number?

My business manager--

he runs a background check on everyone that I deal with.

Oh, I see.

I told him he was being overprotective, you know,

but he says he's looking out for my best interest.

And, obviously, you agree with him.

I didn't say that.

But it is what you meant.

You want my Social Security number? Fine.

And while you're at it,

why don't you take my fingerprints, too.

Call America's Most Wanted.

You are just like your father.

(crumples check)

Take your damn check.

I am not for sale.

Suzanne...

Suzanne, hey, I didn't mean it like that!

(slams door)

David? David, wake up.

What? What's going on?

It's 3:30.

Don't you have your Music Theory final at 4:00?

(sighs)

Yeah. Thanks.

What's wrong?

Nothing is wrong.

Well, if it's any consolation, I'm not feeling so hot myself.

Jackie corralled me into having dinner with her,

and I'm sure I'm gonna have to sit there

and listen to her rave on about how

the judge has it in for her.

Oh, that sounds rough.

Hey, knock it off.

You might be able to pull that attitude with Donna,

but you're not gonna pull it with me.

Listen, I'm sorry, okay?

All I'm saying is if you don't want to go, don't go.

What are you getting on my back for?

Well, the, uh, test challenged you, I hope.

Yeah, it did.

Look, I got to apologize to you.

I don't know what happened to D'Shawn.

We really spent a lot of time studying

and he promised me he'd be here.

Well, it's no problem. He's up in the Bay Area.

Why? The game isn't till tomorrow.

Yeah, but the Public Relations director was besieged with calls

so he went up there early to do some national interviews.

You know, CNN, ESPN.

In fact, if we're lucky, he might mention us.

And the fact that he's missing finals?

No, he's not missing anything.

I gave him the final as a take-home.

Oh, what are you gonna give him this time, an A+?

Brandon, try to understand

that a successful athletic program helps to pay

for the education you're receiving.

And the education he's not receiving.

Is every one of his teachers as athlete-friendly as you?

Brandon...

Well, what if his talent isn't enough?

What if he can't make it in the pros?

Then what does he got? I'll tell you what he's got:

he's got a minimum-wage job in some Texas tire plant

because he never got an education.

Look, Brandon,

if you decide you want to take more classes in Sociology,

I suggest you look for another professor.

Well, at least we finally agree on something.

DAVID: So, you didn't hear any of my show last night?

Oh, I did like that blast you did

against classic rock radio,

and you then you played Zeppelin anyway.

Thanks, man. I was in a groove all night.

So how about it?

Did you get any sleep?

Oh, excellent Zs.

And my break with Donna is gonna be a good break

because we both care about each other.

We worked some stuff out this morning.

So what do you say?

What about your finals?

I'm on top of it. Come on, Howard.

I have a whole bunch of stuff I have to do tonight

and I just want to keep the pedal to the metal.

All right.

I have a little bit left.

But listen, next time you pay. This stuff's not cheap.

Hey, be cool.

Thanks.

Artie, what's going on, man?

What are you and Mike cooking up?

Hopefully not you.

Watch your back.

Oh, I should have known.

What's the matter, wuss Sanders

complaining about playing time?

Yeah, like every other freshman.

Guys, relax.

I think Steve has bigger fish to fry.

Whales.

I got whales to fry.

Hold on, we're trying to iron things out,

not start a war here, Sanders.

What's going on?

All right, Steve thinks he was busted in Randall's office

because one of you guys called the campus cops

on him.

Oh, that just proves besides being clumsy,

Sanders is also paranoid.

Campus security logged

an anonymous phone call that night.

I checked. It's true.

You guys are hell week pledge masters. Talk to me.

Are you serious?

I'd never do that to Steve or anyone else.

Keith, maybe you wouldn't...

Whoa...

you're asking for it, Sanders.

You probably called the cops yourself.

Check this out!

The guy won't even answer a question.

He's guilty.

I'm not guilty. I'm peeved

that after all I've been through

in four years with this fraternity means squat!

How could you even consider his word over mine?

John, if you didn't do it, fine, okay?

But if you did, he's willing to accept an apology.

It doesn't have to go beyond this room.

Apology?!

How can I apologize for something I didn't do?

You did it. You're a liar, man!

Get off! Hold on! Hold on!

I'm claiming my right to bring this to the test. Me, too!

You idiot, you don't even know what "the test" is.

I don't care.

As long as it's me against you.

Oh, you got that right.

Because when this goes before the brothers,

the good news is you're out of this fraternity, pal.

We'll see.

(alarm buzzing)

David?

(knocking)

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to make sure you were up.

Yeah, well, I'm up.

Oh.

Well, I heard your show last night.

And I thought that bit about seeing the children

in the playground being chased by the Grim Reaper,

that was really funny.

Well, it wasn't meant to be funny.

Well, I meant I thought it said a lot about the human condition,

but it was also a good laugh.

Thanks. I'll see you later.

You know, it was getting so late, I was beginning to wonder

if you were going to miss the whole day.

Not that's it's a bad day to sleep in,

if you know what I mean.

Actually, I'm pretty tired myself.

Donna, Donna, get off the bed. Get off the bed.

What? What's wrong?

Listen, if you're so tired,

why don't you go to your own room?

You know, David,

I was just trying to be sweet.

I mean, you said things would work out.

What do you want from me?

Donna.

Dylan.

I thought you guys left.

No, not yet.

Not without apologizing.

Suzanne, I think I'm the one who ought to be doing that.

No, you've been great.

Yesterday, I really overreacted.

I guess I was feeling sorry for myself about

not finding a job.

I-I just hate the idea of being dependent on you.

Listen, I had no business asking you

about your Social Security number.

It only made your problem worse.

You think we can put it all behind us?

Could we?

Only if you take back this check.

Well, we were going to take the Greyhound to Iowa.

I guess we can fly now.

Thank you.

You're still going?

Oh, just to tie up some loose ends.

And then we'll come back and make a fresh start.

Mom, I don't want to go back.

Honey, we're only going to go for a few days.

Can't I stay here with you?

Oh, no, Erica, no.

Dylan has too much to do to be taking care of you.

My last final's tomorrow.

And after that, I got a week off.

You ever been to Magic Mountain?

Magic Mountain?!

Oh, wow!

(chuckles)

Well, I guess that's settled.

Yeah, Magic Mountain.

David.

David.

What do you want?

Well, I haven't seen you in a while, and I wanted to say

I was sorry to hear about you and Donna breaking up.

Man, have you seen Howard?

Howard who?

Never mind.

Yeah, no problem.

What are friends for?

Howard, Howard.

I need your help, man.

You got to hook me up for tonight.

I'm tapped, man. Cupboard is bare.

Come on, man. I'm willing to pay. I've got 50 bucks.

Look, I've got it right here. Put that away.

Look at you.

You look like something my cat coughs up.

Well, can you help me?

(sighs): I can make a couple phone calls,

but I'm not going to be able

to get anything good till tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?!

Oh, boy.

You are a mess.

Okay, uh...

you got any finals today?

No. Okay, good. Me, neither.

We'll go hang with a couple of friends of mine.

Maybe one of them will have some downers

or something like that. That'll take the edge off.

Thanks, man. You're the best.

(doorbell rings)

Could you get that?

It's probably David and he lost his keys again.

I don't even want to see him

no matter how sorry he says he is about this morning.

Okay, okay.

Where's Silver?

Who knows?

Thank you for the hello.

I'm sorry.

How you doing, Kelly?

Fine.

Obviously, you're another story.

What are you looking for David for?

It's been bugging me all day.

I tried to talk to him at the student union,

but he blew me off like I'm invisible.

Well, at least he didn't scream at you.

Look, I know we used to be close at West Beverly.

And now that we're at college,

we've kind of drifted a little bit.

A lot of it is just that

you're in a fraternity and he's not.

For the moment.

Why? What happened?

Nothing. I got to go.

No, Steve.

Now you're blowing us off.

We still need each other.

Why don't you stay for dinner?

What are we having?

(sports radio playing)

Hey, kids. Did you have fun?

Oh, we had a wonderful time.

It was very romantic.

Oh, he's just excited because we made the early bird special,

and we saved how much, honey?

$13.35, but who's counting?

Brandon, how can you study and listen to the radio?

That's not the radio, Dad.

That's a little audio wallpaper I've arranged.

Actually, I was listening to the CU-San Francisco game.

How we doing?

Well, we're up by 12 at the half.

Oh, I had no idea

CU had turned into such a powerhouse.

Well, it would appear my good friend,

D'Shawn Hardell, has arrived.

He's already got 23 points, four rebounds, six assists.

Pure average awesome night for him.

Oh, here we go.

ANNOUNCER: All right, the teams are back on the floor

and if the Dogs are gonna get back in this ballgame...

Well, guess that's the end of my romantic evening.

...D'Shawn Hardell.

Here's the in-bound pass.

Condors control.

Marsden swings it over to Reed.

He draws a crowd and spots Hardell.

Back-door alley oop for the slam.

Yes! Nice.

Wait a second. There's a pile-up in the paint.

And it looks like the young CU star, D'Shawn Hardell,

got submarined coming down from that jam

and he may be hurt. Uh-oh.

The trainer's out there

and it looks like he may be calling for the stretcher.

A terrible break for the electrifying young Hardell.

And, boy, you can see it now: it's his knee.

And he is in pain. Man. That's trouble.

Oh, no more.

Thanks for listening to my problems, guys.

I still think David's gonna come crawling back, Donna.

Huh!

Like I'd want him.

So, how are you doing?

Dr. Taylor's taking all calls.

What's going on at the KEG House?

Tomorrow night we're holding "the test."

Ever hear of it?

No.

Well, it's a variation on a blackball ceremony.

It's me against Sears and one of us has to be voted out.

And you're afraid it's going to be you.

How can I compete with this guy?

He's a big man in the house.

He's a toad.

Yeah, but he has a lot of friends

and everyone else will be too afraid

to vote against him out in the open.

Don't you have at least one person

that will stand up for you?

Well, yeah, but the fact remains

that this time tomorrow I'll be an independent.

I'm sorry.

I just hope it's not unanimous.

I would like to walk out of there with my head up.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

Hey...

maybe I could move into Silver's room...

if you'd have me?

Well, I've already had you.

(mock chuckling)

(phone rings)

Ouch.

Kel, if that's David

and he's calling to apologize, tell him I'm not here.

I don't care what he says. I don't care if he's begging.

I'm not here. Please, okay? Okay.

Hello.

Hi, Dylan.

That's very sweet.

Who am I kidding?

He's not calling. He's not coming back.

He just doesn't care.

Donna...

(sobs)

Come on, Donna.

So which essay topic did you do?

Oh, the alienation theme in Faulkner.

I should have chosen that one.

I'm feeling pretty alienated myself lately.

Donna, you're going to get through it.

Yeah, well, thanks for letting me use your room to study.

I just didn't want to go back to the apartment

in case he's there.

I'm glad I could be here for you.

Thanks.

Huh, I must have left the door unlocked.

(gasps)

Hola, señorita.

Qué tal? Jesse!

Oh, I've missed you so much!

Who let you in here, huh?

I'm gonna be a lawyer, right?

Well, the one thing I can do is talk.

Your new resident advisor is a big, big improvement.

I know we said no contact,

but I couldn't stay away any longer.

Well, I... I better be going.

No, Donna, don't. I'm sorry. Uh...

You remember Jesse, don't you?

Sure.

Nice to see you again, Donna.

Hi. You too.

Nice to see you again, Andrea.

Nice to see you.

Well, you know, I did.

I hope Mom's better on a plane than she was on the bus.

On the trip out here, every time we transferred,

she was convinced we were on the wrong one

and I'd have to double-check with the driver, of course.

Hmm.

Well, something tells me she might get by

without you, although, I don't know how...

I don't know how I ever did.

Oh, she'll find somebody to help her.

She always does, you know.

Yeah.

Do you think my mother's pretty?

Of course I do. You know that.

Do you think I'm gonna be as pretty as she is?

Sweetheart, you are gonna be a knockout.

(laughs)

Dylan, I really want you to like us.

Well, I do like you.

I mean, I like you an awful lot.

If I didn't like you, I wouldn't hit you

with this pillow all the time, would I?

What are you talking about?

When you and Mom got in that fight,

it really scared me.

Listen, we're family now-- you and me.

And there are always gonna be some bumps along the way.

Well, I hope you won't get angry at me

when I tell you what I did.

I'm not going to like this very much, am I?

I went into my mom's purse

when she wasn't looking.

I got something for you.

What?

Her Social Security card.

I only did it because I knew you wanted it.

Are you mad at me?

Shaq is covered off of Mick Anderson...

(knocking)

Drives through the paint and...

D'Shawn.

Hey, cuz.

You heard about it?

Yeah, I was listening to the game. Sorry.

We're up by 14 and lose by ten.

Someone could say you were the difference.

Great first half.

Yeah.

Then in the second half, what do I do?

Out of the gate, I sky when I shouldn't have.

I didn't have to jam it home.

I could have just went off the glass,

but, no, I had to showboat.

Come on, man.

This isn't the time to get down on yourself.

Right.

I got months to get into that.

Maybe a lifetime.

Come on, man.

You're not the first guy that ever went down.

What'd the doctor say?

Surgery.

Arthroscopic, you understand?

Yeah.

They say I'm through for the season.

Who knows how long I'll be on those sticks?

Well, if anyone can make it back, you can.

I'm gonna try, but I got to be realistic.

No NBA team's going to go first round

for any college guy whose wheels come off.

Well, until you can prove them wrong,

you'll just have to concentrate

on being a scholar.

(laughs)

Here it comes.

I figured you'd be dogging me

about not showing for the test.

(chuckles)

But I did it, man, between interviews.

I had the PR director Fed-Ex it back.

Though I don't think I did too well.

I think you did all right.

I ran into Randall this morning.

He asked me to give you this.

You got a "C."

I got a "C"?

Uh-huh. Met your eligibility requirement

all by yourself.

It's a hell of a start, man.

Yeah. 'Cept if I don't play, all the perks I have,

including a tutor, are history.

I think you'll be fine.

If I need a buddy to study with, you still be around?

You're stuck with me, man,

but next time, you get a “B,” huh?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, John, come on.

Everyone's already in.

Let's get this over with.

Afterwards we'll go get something to eat.

You bet. I just wish I could figure it out.

Figure what out?

Who did call security that night?

Are you serious?

I did.

That makes, like, no sense.

I mean, if you didn't want Sanders in the house,

then you could have blocked him

when he was still a pledge.

Why would you go to all this trouble?

After he messed me up with Kelly

and that stunt he pulled at the Downey House,

he deserves to suffer.

Now let's bury him.

Before you sit John Sears and Steve Sanders.

Sanders claims that John was responsible

for his arrest during hazing.

John denies it.

It's one brother's word against another.

Now, you've each received one black ball.

When your turn comes to vote,

you will drop the ball into one of the bowls.

You must vote against one brother

or the other.

There will be no abstentions.

The brother with the most black balls

will be dropped immediately from the fraternity.

And remember, a fraternity is only as strong as its members.

From now until the end, your silence is expected.

There will be no talking until the last ball is dropped.

Let us begin.

(ball dropping into bowl)

Hold it.

What are you doing, man?

Is this some kind of joke?

No talking.

No! He made a mistake.

Pick it up, Keith.

I can't.

That's enough!

I'm sorry, John,

but if you'd set up Steve, what's to say you won't

do the same thing to any of us? ARTIE: Shut up!

Continue the vote.

Are you burning the midnight oil

or are you listening to David?

At least I know where he is.

I still can't believe he didn't come home today.

He'll be back tomorrow.

Yeah. For someone who caused it all,

he sure isn't taking it too well.

You know, you should really get some sleep.

Kel, what should I do?

I mean... I don't even think sex is the issue anymore.

What's left for me?

Dye my hair? Donna...

Get a boob job? What?

I'm being serious.

He was so mean to me yesterday, Kel.

Just tell me what I'm doing wrong.

DAVID: That was a dynamite cut.

Uh... What was it?

Oh, never mind.

Uh, shoot, where's the...? Uh... hold on.

Way to be prepared, David.

Stop. It's got to be rough on him,

doing the show and taking finals.

Oh, yeah, there are some new testing times

that you should know about.

Damn it! Hold on.

Listen to him.

He's falling apart.

Maybe I should just move out now before I completely ruin him.

Donna, I don't think that you're David's problem.

I've been watching him all week,

and I think that something's got him,

and it's not too much coffee.

Like what?

Like drugs.

David? No way.

No, when my mom went into relapse,

she acted just like this.

She had huge mood swings,

acting all secretive all the time.

Oh, great. What are you saying?

I've driven him to drugs now?

No.

I didn't mean it like that.

Look, I'm probably wrong, okay?

It's just that he's been acting so strange.

Well, couldn't it be that,

that he's hurting just as much as I am?

HOWARD: Hi, this is Howard.

Leave a message or call me at the station.

Howard, where the hell are you?

Right here.

Geez...

I said I was coming.

Yeah, before the show, man.

I've been dying out here.

Where's the stuff?

Listen, Silver, I am not a dealer.

Don't treat me like one.

Okay, fine, I'm sorry.

Just, please, tell me you have it.

(sighs)

Will you get a grip?

Crank's not an everyday drug.

It will fry your brain. Now you tell me.

Well, I thought you could handle it.

I can! Look, I just have to get through the week, okay,
