Oh, hey, Bren.

Hey.

Working hard?

I think so.

I'm auditioning for Roy Randolph.

Ever hear of him? Yes.

Actually, when I was 12, my mom took me to New York City.

We saw his production of Streetcar Named Desire.

It starred Holly Hunter before she was a big star.

It was pretty awesome.

Yeah, he's known for having an eye for young talent.

And you are hoping to catch that eye.

But of course. Hmm.

He's directing a main stage production

of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

I mean, can't you see me in the Maggie role?

Now that you mention it,

I do see you as kind of a young Liz...

minus the eight marriages, give or take a Richard Burton.

Thank you.

Anyway, I better get going.

The ladies of the Peach Pit are waiting.

Yeah, you know what,

I'm gonna go over there myself,

but I gotta pick up some books for Erica first.

What's she reading these days?

Uh, The Man Who Shot Lincoln,

The Lincoln Murder Mystery, The Unsolved Lincoln Murder Case.

Do I see a pattern here?

Yeah, my little sister's becoming

quite the conspiracy buff.

Anyway, if you can wait ten minutes,

I'll give you a ride over there.

No, thanks.

If I'm late for these sorority meetings, I get demerits.

Yeah. See ya. Bye.

KELLY: Andrea, don't be so hard on yourself.

(rock music playing)

Well, I, I think you look great in Jesse's clothes.

It's very stylish.

Yeah, well, with our budget, I'm just lucky grunge is in.

You guys, the way I'm expanding,

in the next couple weeks, I won't even be fitting

into his clothes. It's so depressing.

It's settled. I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna get you some

of Jackie's old maternity dresses.

She still has them?

She never throws anything away.

And I'm sure she'd be glad to let you wear them

for as long as you want.

Kel, that's great.

Who's that guy over there

with Dylan's sister and her mom?

I don't know. I don't know.

Ah, come on. It'll be my treat.

How about a milkshake?

No!

Are you sure?

I said I don't want one.

SUZANNE: Erica,

how 'bout trying "No, thank you"?

No, thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Kelly, have you seen Dylan?

Um, he was supposed to meet us here.

He's at the library.

I just ran into him. He's on his way over.

Ah. Well, enjoy your sorority meeting.

So, what is a sorority?

Well, after we graduated

from West Beverly, we didn't want college life

to split us up,

so we have these little gatherings here once a week

so we can all see each other.

Oh. So I guess you had to go to West Beverly

to be in your sorority, huh?

Uh, maybe not.

BRENDA: I don't know about the rest of you,

but I think a little pledge rush might be in order.

I think maybe so.

Sit down.

ERICA: Great.

What do I have to do? BRENDA: Um...

you have to promise to be a good friend,

and you can never, ever, ever forget your sisters.

DONNA: And not be afraid to dish a little

dirt, starting with who is that guy with your mom over there?

Her new boyfriend. Ugh!

I never liked any of my mom's boyfriends, either.

Hey, Nat? Hmm?

Any words of wisdom on why Communism fell?

I think it had something to do with 90-proof vodka.

Can I quote you on that?

Sure.

Guess who?

Uh, a little help here, Nat.

I've never seen her before,

but I wouldn't mind seeing her again.

Too late. Time's up.

Clare?

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, Nat, this is Clare Arnold.

Her father-- besides being the head

of the Educational Task Force,

is also the esteemed chancellor of CU.

Oh. Privileged to meet you.

Likewise. My father's secretary

said this is where you hang out,

and shock of shocks, she was right about something.

Well, you certainly seem chipper today.

Well, I had my birthday last week.

The big 1-8.

Oh, congratulations.

Yeah, somehow magically overnight,

the words "jail bait"

just kinda vanished from my forehead. Voila!

Well, it was nice seeing you again, Clare.

I was just leaving.

Great. Me, too.

Bye.

(laughs)

Are you all right?

Oh, that depends on you.

How so?

What would you say if I wanted to go out with you?

I'd say I don't think that's a good idea, Clare.

Oh, come on. We'll go to a movie, a club,

swap French kisses on a quake-damaged freeway.

I really don't think that's a good idea, Clare.

Why not? I'm legal.

So I hear.

What, are you, like, freaked out or something

because of who my father is?

Absolutely.

I knew it.

But you like me, don't you?

Of course, I like you a lot.

You're very, uh... unusual.

Thanks.

I wouldn't want to be like everybody else.

Well, you're certainly not.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Hey, Brandon, how's it going?

Dylan, this is, uh,

Clare Arnold, Chancellor Arnold's daughter.

Oh, yeah. It's nice to meet you, Clare.

Nice to meet you, too.

Bye, mon cheri.

Bye.

Mm! You taste good.

(sighs)

Listen,

mon cheri,

I sort of thought after Lucinda,

you would be playing the monk about now.

This is much worse than Lucinda.

Take it from a friend, bro. Just say "Whoa."

I thought I did.

I don't think she heard you. I think you're right.

Listen, I gotta get over to Steve's and work on my paper.

Don't tell anyone about this, okay?

It's... it's a little gnarly.

No sweat.

(scoffs)

Hey, we've been waiting for you.

Oh, well, excuse me.

I'm 15 minutes late for my life.

This is, uh...

You must be Kevin.

Kevin Weaver. Hi. Dylan McKay.

It's great to meet you.

Sit down. Okay.

ERICA: Dylan, come here.

Did you get my books?

You'll have to excuse me.

The boss is calling.

You think "the boss" is ever going to give me a break, huh?

(both chuckle)

JIM: Honey, I can't find my black bathing suit.

I already packed the plaid one, along with your hooded robe.

I look kinda chunky in the plaid.

If we're going to be sitting around

in a hot spring with the Levins,

I want to look as svelte as they are.

Honestly, I'm sorry we bid on this vacation with them.

Oh, come on.

It's for a good cause.

Anyway, two days

in Palm Desert away from the grind

could be very romantic.

I hope you're not saying that

just because it's tax deductible.

I'm not going to forget that comment.

I'm counting on it.

Brenda, would you come put away these pots?

(Southern accent): Why certainly, Mama.

Although I was born for more than the kitchen work.

Weren't we all?

Hmm. How's my Southern drawl?

Oh, it's very Tennessee Williams.

I hope you're not putting too much pressure on yourself

about this play.

Mom, how could I?

I mean, working with Roy Randolph

is a chance of a lifetime for any actress.

And let's face it.

That's what I want to be.

I know, I just wish you didn't have your heart set on the lead.

I mean, isn't there maybe a smaller part?

Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm sorry.

I just don't want you to be disappointed.

Mom, I won't be.

I am Maggie the Cat;

a woman scorned by the man that she loves.

I understand the character completely.

Well, I'll be crossing my fingers for you.

Thanks. I hope you guys have fun.

Oh, we will. Listen, while you're

house-sitting for the Levins...

Mom, don't worry. I'm just across the street.

And I have their cats,

and Kelly's coming over for the afternoon

to practice lines.

Kelly is?

Yeah, I guess

when all is said and done,

she really cares about maintaining our friendship.

That's great.

Yeah, it is.

STEVE: You know, I think I'm finally in the college groove.

It was just a matter of narrowing down my distractions.

Well, cutting down on the booze and the babes

is always a formula for success.

No, I'm talking about late-night television:

Jay, Dave, Conan, who needs these people?

And Nightline, Ted Koppel,

every time I see this guy's face

I gotta wonder if he has legs.

You think anybody's ever seen them?

Don't ask me, bro. At that hour, I'm studying.

I think you need to take a lap, Walsh.

Yeah, I'll see you later, citizen.

Ride free. Ciao.

Oh, out of order?

WOMAN (Southern accent): Stop it, you monster!

Somebody help me!

Go away, you...!

Steve.

Laura!

What are you doing here?!

I heard somebody screaming.

I thought someone was in trouble.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I guess I was a little loud.

I was just acting.

I'm, uh, I'm getting myself ready to try out for this play.

Well, I'd say if there's any screaming,

you'll do fine.

See ya.

Wait. Please.

You just startled me.

I shouldn't have snapped at you.

You were just being concerned.

Yeah, I thought so.

Bye.

Steve...

I've seen you around campus,

but I must admit I tried pretty hard to avoid you.

Yeah, well, for whatever it's worth,

I still don't feel right about what you went through.

Yeah, well, it's been a pretty miserable, lonely year for me.

I guess that's why

I'm... I'm working so hard on this play, you know.

I'm hoping maybe it'll turn things around.

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Huh!

You know, before my mother

became the mother of all sitcoms,

she actually had the lead in a production they did

here in L.A.

Really?

I'm, um... I'm reading for the lead.

Oh, yeah?

It's a great play.

Gosh, I must've seen it a hundred times.

I was practically living in her dressing room.

Wow.

Your mom is really talented.

Thanks.

I'll tell her you said so.

You know, the, um...

the last time that we spoke

was, um, after that crazy week.

You offered to still be my friend,

but I couldn't handle it then.

I don't know what I'm trying to say.

You know, I don't know how this is

gonna sound, Laura, but...

if you'd like a hand with your audition material,

I guess I'd be happy to help you out.

Would you?

Yeah. I figure I owe you one.

Oh, that I could definitely handle. Thanks.

Hi-ho, Silver. What's happening?

Hell, man.

Big workload?

No. School's fine.

It's the stupid dog.

He chews through all the electrical cords.

I'm the one who gets blamed.

He rips through the garbage-- I get yelled at.

Bad puppy.

What's taking your sister so long with my yogurt?

(gasps)

Oh! Excuse me.

Oh, my God. You're Roy Randolph.

Well, I suppose that's the proper billing--

God before Roy--

but normally I'm used to my name being above the title.

I didn't spill anything on you, did I?

No. No harm done, but I suggest you try walking without reading.

Well, I was just really trying to understand the play.

Ah. Are you studying it for a class

or are you reading for me tomorrow?

For you. The part of Maggie.

Really?

Well, I like her...

fetching,

love-starved and dangerous.

Those are the only hints I'll give you.

Um...

You know, I-I, I have to tell you,

I'm a tremendous fan of yours.

In fact, when I found out

you were gonna be our artist in residence,

I went to the library and studied all about you.

Well, then...

It's nice meeting you.

Um... Brenda.

Brenda Walsh. Till tomorrow.

Yeah, and no more walking and reading.

That's right.

Nothing should inhibit the moves of a dangerous woman.

I'll remember that.

Bravo.

Good puppy.

That was the director.

Looks like you scored.

(engine revving)

Well, I'd say all you need is a helmet

and an open highway.

Yeah, if I don't get this thing out on the road soon,

the engine's gonna rot.

(engine stops)

You know, Suzanne, I was gonna call you

last night.

It's about the guy Kevin.

I like him.

Me, too.

I only wish Erica were a little less hostile toward him.

Yeah, I did get the impression

she's not really his biggest fan.

Such a shame. He's really a terrific guy.

He treats me like a lady.

He's got a good job.

Did he tell you he's an environmental chemist?

No. He's such

a good soul.

I'm just afraid that Erica's gonna scare him off.

Would you like me to talk to her, Suzanne?

Yes.

That's exactly what I want.

You happen to be in luck, for that

is one of my favorite pastimes.

STEVE: Hey, Bran. Hey, Steve.

I'm gonna meet up with a couple of the guys later at the gym.

You down for a little half- court action? No can do, man. I got called in

to see the chancellor. What about tonight?

Are we still on for that Soc paper?

Oh, actually, I got a change of plans.

I told Laura Kingman I'd help her out with something.

Laura Kingman? The girl who

almost accused you of date rape?

What's the matter, did your pilot light go out?

Hey. We're just in a study mode. Uh-huh.

And besides, I'm capable of having

a mature relationship with a girl

without involving bodily functions.

Steve, it's so rare I hear you

use the word "mature." I'm impressed.

Well, perhaps you're rubbing off on me.

I don't think so.

I just want to see things go good for this girl.

She's auditioning for this play.

Ah, Brenda's auditioning for it, too.

About her and a zillion other girls.

Yeah. Well, good luck, my brother. And, hey--

you watch yourself around Laura.

I'll do my best.

KELLY (Southern accent): He doesn't have a name.

He doesn't exist, does he, Maggie?

(Southern accent): He does.

You can't conceive by a man who won't sleep with you.

Oh, he exists, all right,

and so does my child, Brick's baby.

(normal voice): That's great. You've really got her.

Better?

Yeah. I mean,

this is my chance to be in a great play,

in a great part, with a great director.

I don't wanna blow it.

You won't.

You're gonna be very well-rehearsed.

Well, I had help.

You know, I have to say,

you read the Mae part incredibly.

It was fun.

I guess I can play frumpy people.

It's called playing against type.

You should try out.

No, that's silly.

I don't have the theater experience that you do.

Well, from everything that I've read

about Roy Randolph, he likes raw talent.

Besides, Mae is a small part.

You could totally handle it.

You really think so? Yeah.

And it would be terrific to do it together, wouldn't it?

Yeah.

I used to love acting--

up until the sixth grade play,

when I froze in front of the whole school. Well,

you didn't have any problems speaking

to the crowd at Take Back the Night Week.

You really think I could do it?

Yes.

And just by auditioning,

you would get to meet one

of the true giants of the theater.

He does sound fascinating.

I think your ride's here.

Hey, ladies. How's it going?

We were just taking our curtain calls.

Ah. So, are you ready to go now?

Yup.

I'll see you guys later. All right.

Hey, guess what.

Hmm?

I'm thinking of maybe

trying out for the play, too.

There's a small part and Brenda thinks

maybe I should try for it.

What? You?

You don't think I could do it?

Oh, quite the contrary. I think you can do

anything you set your mind to.

I'm just... glad you and Bren are getting along.

Me, too.

SECRETARY (on intercom): Chancellor Arnold, Brandon Walsh is here to see you.

Send him in.

Good morning.

Brandon! Good to see you. Sit.

Thanks. Is, uh, something the matter?

No.

Well...

Maybe yes.

It seems the Department of Education

has done a paper on our Task Force.

You mean, they're actually taking us seriously?

Apparently.

I haven't read it, but...

Um...

Daddy, I was just wondering

when we're leaving. We're supposed to be

at the museum at noon.

Very soon. Oh, you remember

Brandon, don't you, from the retreat?

Oh, right. Hi.

Hi, Clare.

Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

Anyway, Brandon, as I was saying,

it's important for us to know how

we're perceived. I want you to digest

that report and give me a critique. Quickly.

No problem. I've got my house to myself

for the next couple days, so I'll get right on it.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Have a splendid day. Thank you, sir. You, too.

(blows a kiss)

(nervous laugh)

Bye.

(Southern accent): Brick...

How long does it have to go on?

This punishment?

Haven't I done enough time?

Can't I apply for a pardon?

(Southern accent): Oh, Maggie, you're spoiling my liquor.

Lately your voice always sounds

like you've been running upstairs

to warn somebody the house is on fire!

Well, no wonder.

You know what I feel like?

I feel all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Well, maybe

you should get a lover.

I can't see any man but you.

(normal voice): Uh... Easy, Laura.

Even with my eyes closed, I just see you.

Why don't you get ugly, Brick?

Why don't you please get

fat or ugly or something

so I could stand it?

(normal voice): And that's when Maggie kisses Brick.

That's when, uh, Brick resists it.

It says right here

in the script.

Oh, sorry.

As Maggie, I just wanted to see

what it would be like.

Yeah, well, it's good, it's a strong choice.

It works for the character. Oh...

How am I doing?

Great. You're getting better with every scene.

Thanks to my coach.

Huh. (Southern accent): Well, it's my pleasure, Miss Maggie.

JESSE: Hey, Andrea, it's Donna and David.

And Rocky II.

Hey, guys.

Hi.

(Rocky barking)

(laughing)

Rocky, you know better than that.

I'm sorry, Andrea.

Oh, no.

It's the most excitement I've had in days.

JESSE: He sure is frisky.

Yeah. He's a four- legged Prozac moment.

He's just a happy puppy.

Yeah, well, he'd be a lot easier to take around

if you taught him some discipline.

Well, he's still young.

He doesn't know all the rules yet.

DAVID: So what? Until then he's just

gonna tear our house apart?

Look, let's save this till we get home.

Parenting problems, huh?

Well, I guess this is what we have

in store for us, huh, Andrea?

Well, I agree with Donna. He's

just a baby. He'll get manners when he needs them.

Gee. Wish I could stay,

but Constitutional Law is calling. Mmm.

Good-bye, my love. (smooching)

Good-bye, my love. Bye.

Be home for dinner.

Hey. Hey.

(Andrea laughing)

JESSE: Hey...

Rocky, that wasn't very nice.

Could I get you guys something to drink? Oh, well,

actually, we came by to give you something special.

It's Jackie's clothes. Kelly got them.

Here, try one on.

Ah, these are adorable.

Yeah, they're just like all the baby doll dresses we're all wearing.

Jackie says they fit her all throughout her pregnancy.

I'm going to try it on.

Can you just help me in the back? Yeah.

There.

Ooh, it's a little too tight.

Um, these... these things aren't gonna fit.

Well, it...

it doesn't matter what you look like.

The important thing is

you have a really big baby inside of you.

I hate this.

I just have to stop eating.

Okay.

(whispers): Good luck.

RANDOLPH: Good afternoon.

I'm Roy Randolph,

and I'm heartened

to see so many eager faces here.

This may look to you like a cattle call,

but I can assure you, you will not be treated like cattle.

We're planning on having

a good day here, aren't we, Eddie?

For me, any day above ground is a good day.

(students chuckling)

Eddie's been my stage manager

for many years and a Broadway fixture for decades.

But before any of you starts getting too nervous,

please, I want to assure you,

these auditions will be

free of your usual drama club

politics.

I don't care who you are

or what you've done before.

Everyone's got a chance.

Please...

cross and get your number.

(whispers): Kelly Taylor.

RANDOLPH: All I ask is for you to be patient.

It's going to be a long process

to give everyone a fair shot, so...

with that understood, let's begin.

Numbers one to five, follow me.

I didn't think that you were going to make it.

I couldn't decide what to wear.

Do you see that girl that Steve's with? Isn't that, uh...?

KELLY: My God, it is. That's Laura Kingman.

Well, they certainly seem to have patched things up.

Well, she's definitely bent enough to be a Maggie.

All I know is that everybody here

looks a lot more theatrical than I do.

Oh, you're going to be fine.

And sometimes, it's better to be last.

Well, I brought my psych book to pass the time.

I didn't know that Roy Randolph was so cute.

Oh, yes.

And, you know, he has a thing

for his actresses. Really?

Yes, he is known for saying, "All I need out of life

"is a rehearsal studio and a bedroom,

preferably attached."

(giggles) Shh.

(knocking on door) Coming.

Clare?

Can I come in?

Sure.

Oh, this is such a comfy

room.

(clears throat)

So, what's, uh... what's going on?

What's it look like, silly?

It's my overnight bag.

(groans)

Clare, wait a sec.

I didn't want you to be all alone.

Well, thanks, but you can't stay here.

Well, I have

nowhere else to go.

I mean,

my father's out of town

and he thinks I'm staying over at a friend's,

so... So why aren't you there?

What's the rush?

What do you have in this bag?

Everything I'm into.

Sex, rock...

really decent literature.

You?

I'm into finishing the report for your father.

And that's gonna take me all night.

That's no problem.

Just go right ahead. I'm not gonna bug you.

(sighs): Look, Clare, uh...

this just isn't gonna work.

Fine, then why don't you just, like,

throw me out on the street, okay?

I'll hitch down to the beach.

Probably get in some rotted-out muscle car with

a bunch of deviants, but...

hey, whatever, you know...

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Because I'm driving you over to your friend's.

Well, they're not gonna be back until after 10:00.

They went to a movie.

Call if you want, okay?

Am I repulsive or something?

No, uh, no, not at all.

It's just I-I...

I kinda feel I owe it to your father

to keep a little distance here.

Brandon, it's not like I'm under surveillance, you know.

Okay,

you can stay down here by yourself

till you get bored.

But if 10:00 rolls around before that,

you are going to your friend's house, okay?

Okay.

DYLAN: Well, if it isn't my favorite

little bookworm.

You reading those books I got you? Yeah.

My favorite is The Unsolved Lincoln Murder Case.

Hmm. It's the one that claims William Seward,

the Secretary of State, is behind it.

I see, well, it sounds like a good scandal.

I'm gonna have to read that sometime.

You should.

So why'd you want to see me?

It's about Kevin, right?

(sighs)

Sometimes I forget how sharp you can be.

Yeah, it's about Kevin.

I met him and, uh,

although I don't know him very well,

he seems okay. I like him.

I think you would, too,

if you give him half a chance.

I doubt it.

Well, has he ever done anything mean to you?

No, of course not.

Then what's the problem?

He reminds me of Lewis Payne.

Lewis Payne?

You know, John Wilkes Booth's getaway driver.

He was good-looking,

but he had the mind of a ten-year-old.

Erica...

I just wish Mom didn't have to have a boyfriend.

Why is that?

What if they got married?

He lives in Orange County.

I might never get to see you again.

Hey, that's not going to happen.

She's not gonna get married?

Well, they just met.

But nothing's gonna split us up.

Wherever you go, we're always

gonna be close, all right?

I'm not gonna lose the only little sister I've got.

Yeah, I guess I just needed to hear that.

Now do me a favor, will ya?

Cut Kevin some slack?

(stilted): Well, I'm gonna get me a choice one.

And I don't care how much she costs.

I'm going to strip her naked

and smother her in minks,

and choke her in diamonds. Ha, ha.

Well, at least he's got the size to play Big Daddy.

I'll strip her naked

and choke her with...

smother her...

uh, strip...

Thank you very much.

Couldn't I just have a second chance?

It's my experience that second chances

are never as good as the first.

Feel good.

You did just fine.

Next.

Name, please.

Brenda Walsh.

That's correct.

I'm reading for the part of Maggie,

and I'll be doing a monologue from Act I.

Start when you're ready.

Brick...

I'm not trying to whitewash my behavior.

I'm no good.

I don't know why people try and pretend to be good.

Nobody's good.

But I'm honest.

Give me credit for that, will you, please?

Born poor, raised poor...

She's got the fire, Eddie,

and the desperation. She's all right.

You know, sometimes I think you agreed to this gig

just so you could get close to all these 18-year-old actresses.

BRENDA: Skipper is dead. I'm alive.

Maggie the Cat is alive.

I'm alive!

(telephone rings)

(beeps)

Hello.

Hi, Steve.

No, I don't want to hear how well Laura's audition went.

Well, you've got to give credit where credit is due.

I snuck in and I saw her.

Now I don't mean to toot my own horn, but, buddy,

I really got her performance up to speed.

Well, I'm glad you're such a talented guy,

but I'm fighting to finish my work here.

It's been a little distracting.

(woman giggling)

What was that?

Did you just giggle?

No, I don't giggle.

I belch, but I definitely do not giggle.

Clare, will you get off the phone?

The distraction I was mentioning.

Clare... Is she cute?

Dangerously cute. I can't get my mind off her.

She's got the body of a centerfold

and the personality of a volcano.

Well, give her what she wants, pal.

She's the chancellor's daughter, Steve.

All I want is for her to get...

(footsteps)

I got to go.

(clears throat)

This must be your traveling outfit, huh?

Well, that's what I came to tell you.

You know that

friend that Daddy thinks I'm staying over with?

Actually, she's kinda staying over with a guy of her own.

So...

I don't really have anywhere to stay.

BRENDA: Brandon, you home?

Stay put.

Hi. How was your audition? (chuckles)

Ooh, it was amazing.

I wouldn't have changed a thing.

What was Steve doing there with Laura Kingman?

Oh, he's just helping her out. It's no big deal.

Does he know that we're going for the same part?

So what? What's important is you said your tryout went well.

You're right. It absolutely did.

Although, I kinda feel bad for Kelly.

Kelly? Yeah, she was

still waiting for her turn

when I finally had to leave to go feed the Levins' cats.

Well, then it probably just wasn't meant to happen.

You know, those cats must be pretty hungry.

Obviously, you're in a rush.

Working?

Uh... trying.

Well, call if you get lonely.

I will.

(sighs)

(clicking)

You said, "Stay put."

Yeah. (chuckles)

That's it. You gotta go.

I don't know where you're going, but you're going.

Where's the key?

You won't find it in there.

It's hidden...

On me... somewhere.

Try your luck.

(chuckles)

I got a better idea.

You want to spend the night here?

Fine.

Good night.

Brandon!

EDDIE: Next!

(sighs)

Cover for me, Eddie.

Ay-yi-yi.

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

Home.

But you've waited so long.

You're not going to try out?

No.

Um, I really have no business being here.

And actually, I was just doing this as a favor to a friend.

I see. Well, maybe what you say is true,

but I've waited all day to hear you read.

You're teasing me.

A little,

but I'm not going to let you go.

No one ever walks out of my auditions.

I hardly have any acting experience.

Well, maybe that's what I was responding to,

that certain freshness and fear.

Well, you've got the fear thing right.

The closer I was to auditioning, the more I was scared to death.

Look, I'm sure you have to get back inside,

but it was nice to meet you.

Hold on!

I really want to see you on stage.

Humor me?

I really think you're gonna be disappointed.

Well, let me be the judge of that.

I'm Roy.

Kelly Taylor.

Shall we?

(sighs)

Donna,

he did it again!

Where? On the paper?

No, it's on the floor.

Give him to me.

Uh-uh, not if you're gonna rub his nose in it.

Donna, it's the only way he's gonna learn.

Well, maybe in your house, but in my house,

we just put more paper down. Okay, fine.

Why don't we go wall-to-wall paper?

How 'bout that, huh?

Why don't we put plastic on the furniture

so he doesn't mistake it for a chew toy?

He'll grow out of it.

He just needs to learn at his own speed.

You'll see.

Here, Rocky,

you go on the paper. (phone rings)

You see, right here, yeah.

Rocky's Toilet,

how can I help you?

BRENDA: Hi, David, is Kelly there?

Yeah, she's right here. Hold on.

It's Brenda.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey, you know, if you're tired of living in a kennel,

you can always bunk in with me.

I might just do that.

Sorry I didn't get back to you last night.

I got your message,

but by the time I got home from the audition

it was so late I just crashed.

But you got to try out?

Mm-hmm.

Good, I'm glad.

Unfortunately, by the time I got on stage, I was so nervous.

But I'm glad I hung in there.

It was an interesting experience.

Well, word is that there's gonna be a list posted

for callbacks around 11:00.

It'll be the big cut-down.

Do you think you have a chance?

Oh, don't even ask. I don't want to get my hopes up.

But I'm gonna head over to the campus now.

Do you want to meet me?

Uh, I don't think so.

I'm still on dream time.

But good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

Okay, I'll see you later.

All right.

Bye.

Did you tell Brenda you read for the lead?

Now please. He only did that because he felt sorry for me

'cause I'd been waiting so...

Kel!

Don't tell David, please?

Sure.

(groans)

(car horn honks)

Are you expecting someone?

Yeah, my cab.

It's school time.

So I guess I've been saved

by the bell, huh?

Um, you didn't happen to molest me

while I was sleeping, did you?

No, I didn't. Mm,

I guess it was a dream.

Listen, Clare, normally, I'm not such a Boy Scout,

but I'm afraid with you

I'll just have to say good-bye and good luck.

Well, I had fun anyway.

I wanted to spend the night with a college guy, and I did...

kinda.

Anything to take the suckiness out

of a boring week.

(horn honks)

I gotta go.

We'll do it again.

Uh, no, we won't.

I'm afraid this is it.

Oh, yeah?

Or what, you'll tell my father?

Good-bye.

Tell him.

He'll never believe you.

Why are you doing this, Clare?

Because... I like you.

Whew!

Like I said, everything looks good.

The baby's really active.

JESSE: That is amazing.

ANDREA: So there's nothing wrong with the ultrasound?

Nothing wrong.

Normally, I wouldn't have done one of these,

but you seemed so upset.

Well, thank you. I'm glad you did.

All right.

You can get dressed now.

Thanks.

So, the baby's growth is on target?

The size of the head is right where it should be.

What about my weight? Well, we took your

fundal growth, and though it's on

the high side of the curve, it's not abnormal.

A lot of women gain excessive weight

for their first pregnancy.

That's exactly what I told her, Dr. Haller.

No, that is not what you said.

You said that my body chemistry is out of whack.

Just try and relax.

By next month, you'll be

ready for Lamaze. (sighs)

We're looking forward to that.

Well, what about my, uh, family history of diabetes?

I mean, couldn't there be complications?

We've been on top of it right from the beginning.

You have nothing to worry about.

Great.

Cheer up.

I'll see you before you go.

Thanks, Doc.

Thank you.

You think I'm just crying wolf, don't you?

No. No, I don't. It's just, we have to get a grip on things.

Ultrasounds are very expensive.

The insurance is only gonna cover so many.

Fine.

Come on.

Thousands of women have babies every day.

Jesse, I'm not thousands of women.

Look, this is my body.

Call it mother's instinct, whatever you want.

I know something's wrong. I can just...

I can just feel it.

Thank you, Dylan.

Whatever you said to Erica, boy, did it work.

For the first time,

she didn't give me the evil eye.

Well, I guess she'd been doing so much reading

on the conspiracy theory that her mind was a little tangled.

So next time, I'll give her the complete set

of, uh, The Babysitters Club.

Hey, look, I gotta get to work, okay?

Yeah, I better hit the beach.

You a water man?

Dylan didn't tell you he surfed?

No. You, too?

Yeah, I mean, I'm getting old... er,

but, uh, I still catch my share.

Thanks to a little high technology.

What technology?

You got some kind of edge? Well,

I just fitted this little sonar gizmo

to an old board of mine, and it really works.

It measures the wave speed and the size of the swell.

It sorta takes the guesswork out of it

for the, uh, mature ripper.

Mm, this I got to see.

Well, come on.

My Jeep's just across the street.

Okay.

Dana Point was my home beach as a kid.

Man, it was really something,

before the building boom killed the break.

It must have been epic.

No pollution, no line-ups...

Not every day was paradise, man.

There were always some kind of local hassles

to get your attention.

Yeah. It was crazy stuff, man.

I remember this one time, man...

Whoa, Kevin!

Talk about a wipeout!

You all right?

Thanks.

Hey, I, I don't know what I would've done

if I'd have lost you,

What would I have told Suzanne or Erica?

I'll tell you this.

You just made a pal for life.

GIRL: Oh, no, I can't believe it!

Oh, my God! I can't believe it!

Congratulations.

I got called back?

Mm-hmm. Me, too.

Congratulations. Thanks.

It's down to five for the lead.

You, me and Kelly Taylor

made the cut. Kelly Taylor?

Mm-hmm.

That's impossible.

For Maggie the Cat? Are you sure?

Yeah, positive.

Why? Didn't you know she was going for it?

She told me she was reading for Mae.

Well, this guy on the lighting crew said

that she's a natural Maggie.

He heard that, uh, she's the frontrunner.

Well, bye.

Of course, I'm sure it didn't hurt

that, uh, she went out with Mr. Randolph

for cappuccino afterwards.

What?

You didn't know that either?

Yeah, well with friends like that,

who needs enemies?

Well, good luck.
