God.

Yah!

Huzzah!

Thank you, God. Phew!

Thanks.

Ladies...

KEG men!

See you guys.

Hey, Dad.

Conventions are all about networking, son. Remember that.

It's good to see you, too, Dad.

Ah, come up and see the hacienda

I got you before you give me attitude.

Here's your KEG pin. Thanks.

Oh, a view

of the pool, nice.

Keep your eyes in your head, sonny boy.

Your social calendar's

filled up this weekend.

Don't even tell me you fixed me up with someone.

Yes, matter of fact, I have.

Her name is Robin Wallace.

Her father's a major alum down at the KEG house in Florida.

You're kidding? Mm-mm.

Dad, the last thing in the world I want is a blind date.

Are you kidding?

Look at the eyeball candy down there, I want to be accessible.

Will you forget it? She's an Alpha. You'll like her.

Welcome to Casa KEG.

Casa KEG...

(chuckles)

Yeah, this is, uh, this is adequate.

Hey, Sanders...

I got your adequate.

Muntz, what's up, man? Hey!

Hey, man, your dad really came through.

Didn't I tell you never to say anything nice in front of him?

Will you get off my back?

What's with the sody pop?

Oh, hey, hey, hey, those labels aren't dry yet.

Labels? Oh, Muntz, Muntz...

Oh, Muntz, concealed brewskie?

You're a chip off the old frat. You're a madman.

Oh, hey, Steve, Brandon called.

Said he's not going to be able to make it.

Uh-uh, that's not acceptable.

No way.

Forget about it. He's not in the fraternity.

Dad, he lost the election,

his parents are moving to Hong Kong,

and Kelly dumped him.

He needs KEG now more than ever.

(phone ringing)

Hi, what we have here

is a spacious Spanish, in the flats, lots of homey charm.

STEVE: Yeah, who cares? Where's Brandon Walsh?

What agency is he with?

BRANDON: Hey, hang up out there.

Oh, sorry.

It's me, bro, what's up?

Hey, what's going on over there?

Having another going-away party or something?

It's called a caravan.

30 commission-hungry real estate brokers

complaining about our lack of closet space.

That's all the more reason you should be here.

Steve, there's just too much going on here for me to cut out.

My parents are leaving today.

Well, perfect. Because nothing starts until tomorrow.

Ain't going to happen.

Okay. Okay, but just assure me this has nothing to do with the

fact that Kelly will be out here.

Look, I just started to load the car.

I gotta get their luggage to the terminal early.

All right, man.

But if you change your mind, you come running, okay?

We'll be here.

Yeah, thanks, bro.

Dad, you ready?

We're out here.

Jim, come look.

Kelly is so sweet. She brought us

a going-away present.

I got it at the Farmer's Market.

I just didn't want you to forget

your zip code. Oh, we appreciate it.

We're going to miss you guys.

Oh, we'll miss you, too.

Hey, guys, I gotta start loading the car, huh?

You know, honey, I'm not finished packing.

I don't think you are either, sweetie.

Uh, yeah.

It's weird to see a "for sale" sign in your yard.

I'm getting used to it.

I heard from Steve that you're going

to Palm Springs with the KEGers.

No.

You should go. You'll have fun.

I'm not really up for a good time right now.

Brandon, just because I didn't want to move in and get married

right away doesn't mean I still don't want

a relationship with you.

What are you talking about?

I proposed, you said, "no." End of conversation.

VALERIE: I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I just wanted to get the plans straight.

We are going to the Peach Pit for supper, right?

Yeah.

VALERIE: Well, I'll be over at Dylan's if anybody needs me.

Tell him I said hi.

Should I give him your regards, too?

That won't be necessary.

You know, I'd love to stay here and referee, guys, but...

You know, we should call you The Terminator.

I mean, who else could knock out

two guys with one shot?

DONNA: "So it gives me great pride to stand before you,

"one of the new breed of Alpha women.

Independent, involved..."

Brave, clean, reverent.

I was just getting into it.

Donna, the delivery is fine.

It just sounds too much like the Boy Scout Oath.

Well, we can't keep rewriting it forever.

You know, I think, uh... Clare and I

just can't quite connect on this whole sorority thing.

Yeah. After boarding school,

I kind of have trouble believing large groups of women

can live under the same roof without killing each other.

Ah, Kelly, I'm glad you're here.

I need someone to stick up for sisterhood.

I am so frustrated. Some jerk took

my parking place again. Does "three strikes you're out"

apply to parking offenses? Because it should.

So, I gather it didn't go too well at Brandon's, huh?

One good thing about them moving out of that house

is that it's one less place I will have to run into Valerie.

Mmm, no arguments from anyone in this room.

Hmm...

Guys, give the girl a break.

All right. How're you making out with the big speech?

Well, I have a feeling you and I will be writing it

on the way down to Palm Springs tomorrow.

You know what, I think we're

gonna have to take separate cars.

Kel. I'm sorry, I can't

make it till the second day of the convention.

What's so important that you can't come?

It's nothing. Don't worry, I will be there in time for

your speech. Well, if it's nothing,

why can't you just say what it is?

Because it's private.

Forget I even mentioned it.

(phone ringing)

Oh...

If that's Ray, I'm not here.

Hello.

You're safe. It's my dad.

LUANN: Pretty serious sounding tune there.

I've been thinking about some pretty serious stuff.

Don't tell me, Newt's Contract with America?

(chuckles)

About, uh... about you and Dad.

Oh.

I guess couples fight, huh?

People close to each other

are going to have their share of disagreements.

Of course, your father and I had more than our share.

Well, I know he used to push you around.

That man didn't "push me around."

He hit me.

There's a big difference.

You never pressed charges, though.

He said he loved me.

He said he was gonna fall all to pieces without me.

You should have heard him.

He made it sound real convincing.

Now you answer me a question.

What kind of troubles are you having with Donna?

I said a lot of things I wish I hadn't.

And you're trying to sing your way out of it?

You think it won't work?

Well... with a girl as romantic as Donna...

you got a pretty good chance.

VALERIE: Everywhere I go today someone's packing.

Yeah, well, see, we were all trying

to escape from you, Valerie.

(chuckles sarcastically)

I thought you were just fleeing

from Hurricane Kelly.

Actually, I think it's great that you're gonna spend a month

in Maui with your mom.

Forget about that. I'm stoked about seeing Erica.

You know, a year ago, my little munchkin princess

couldn't even swim, and now she's giving me the surf report.

Well, send them my best.

I will.

You know, I'm a little surprised you didn't try

to weasel yourself a ticket this time.

I just can't leave Brandon alone with the house and all.

Brandon's a big boy, I think he can take care of himself.

It's just an act.

I mean, the Kelly thing really shook him up.

I'm just trying to be there for him, Dylan.

Oh, yeah, you're trying to be there for Brandon now, are you?

Well, I didn't hear you offering to take me around the world.

(knocking) Well...

Oh, that's Charley. Airport Express. Lucky me.

Hey, man, you're early.

The plane's not till 6:00.

Change o' plans.

You are not going.

What do you mean, I'm not going?

If you sell the script,

I'll come back.

I think he sold the script.

Not exactly.

But some independent money has stepped up to the plate.

So, take a meeting with them, man.

You don't need me for that.

Get this. One of 'em is a paragliding company.

They love the chase scene that you wrote.

They want to give you a demonstration tomorrow.

I get to fly this paraglider?

You about ready to cancel that reservation for the luau now?

Yeah.

(slow rock song plays)

I can't believe you're getting so emotional.

Ever since Brandon said you wanted

to have your last supper here,

I started to feel a little eggy.

He's been cutting onions all day, Dad.

Don't believe a word of this.

(chuckles)

You've been great to me, Jim.

I mean, every time

I got in trouble with this place, you've always been there.

You've been great to my kids.

Jim, would you come on over here and sit down, honey?

We have a lot of loose ends to go over.

Yeah, the loosest of which is Valerie.

Ah, yes, well, I spoke to Abby and she knows

that Valerie has to find her own place.

But for the time being she'll be staying with you.

No problem.

And this "open house" stuff, it should calm down by next week.

It could take months to sell the house, though.

I can handle it.

Brandon, you're a rock.

Thanks, Mom.

No, with all that you've been going through lately,

I mean, a lot of people would just fall apart

or do something stupid.

Speaking of people doing stupid things,

would you keep an eye on Valerie and, uh, the incense burning?

Yeah.

Try to be a good influence on her, dear.

One role model coming up.

(door closes)

Hey.

JIM: Hey.

Well, the house is gonna be empty without you guys.

Oh, well, we're gonna miss you, too.

Can we save the good-byes until we're at the airport, maybe?

Honey, I can't help it.

I feel like we're deserting you.

No, you're not. I'll be fine. Dad? Dad?

Is this a group grope? Can anybody get in?

Hey!

Go ahead and yell at me if you want.

Just say something.

It's a beautiful song.

And I think we've done enough yelling.

I know.

I don't know what happened last week.

I just, uh, I snapped.

You scared me, you really did.

Don't you think I scared myself?

I mean, the last thing I want to do is hurt you.

I love you.

I know you do.

I know, but, uh...

Look, I didn't know how much I needed you.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get you back.

Well...

if you come with me to Palm Springs,

sit with me in the sun

and cheer me on during my speech, yeah,

I think, I think that would help.

You want me to

come to Palm Springs to the Alpha Convention?

A lot of people are bringing guests.

You did say whatever it takes.

In that case, I can't wait to go.

Great.

Home, sweet home.

Yep.

Brandon, will you stop shutting me out?

I'm not.

You hardly talked on the way back from the airport.

So, there are a few things I'd rather not talk about.

Okay, fine.

Look, I know things seem to be dark,

but you got to look for the silver lining.

You're right.

I haven't been attacked by the flesh-eating bacteria yet.

Tell them about maybe the teak floors

and the schools. Don't forget the schools.

Excuse me. W-What are you doing here?

Oh, I know it's late,

but real estate is a 24-hour business.

The Chus are moving here from Hong Kong.

Isn't that a coincidence?

It is a small world, after all.

I think they're motivated.

But if it's not them, it'll be someone else.

We're gonna do such a blitz this weekend.

Great. Guys,

thanks for coming, okay?

All right. Yes. Let's go, people.

Good night. Good night.

Good-bye.

Good night.

So as I was saying...

I don't think I can take a blitzer this weekend.

I may just go up to the desert and see Steve.

Well, if you don't want to travel alone,

I've never been to the desert

and we could take my car.

I'll let you drive.

Well, since you put it that way.

Then it's settled.

Well, I don't know about you, but I think I'm gonna turn in.

Sleep tight.

Who said anything about sleep?

(elevator bell dings)

Hi. I'm here to pick up Alison Lash.

She's supposed to be released today.

Oh, I remember you.

I guess you two patched things up.

That's nice.

Oh, no, no, I'm not... We're just friends.

So, can you tell me what to expect?

Is she really badly scarred?

No, not really. She's just uncomfortable. Kelly.

Oh, my goodness.

Hi! Look at you!

Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Yeah.

You look great.

Well, you wouldn't be saying that

if you could see the skin grafts on my legs.

But your face, it's amazing.

Almost all second-degree burns.

I was blessed.

Should we go?

Okay.

I'll get your bag.

Hey, are you absolutely sure that it's okay

for me to stay at your place?

I mean, your roommates were cool about it?

My roommates are all in Palm Springs.

Good, 'cause it could be sort of awkward with them around.

Bye, Evelyn.

Thank you so much for everything.

Bye, sweetheart.

Kelly, you take good care of her.

I will.

Bye.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Dr. Garcia, please call extension 4024.

Dr. Garcia, please call extension 4024.

RUSH: Oh, nice shot, Steve.

Well, Buddy, you gave us a rough time.

Personally, I think you caught us a little jetlagged.

Could be. What do you think, Robin?

I think Steve has a really awesome backhand.

Well, thanks.

Do you give lessons?

Lessons? Me?

No. Andre Agassi.

My bashful son

Steve will teach you whatever you want.

Thanks, that'd be great.

In the meantime, up at the grill,

there's a huge breakfast omelet with our names on it.

So how about it?

Great. Great.

Yo, Sanders!

Brando, you made it.

VALERIE: Hi, Steve. Hi, Rush.

Hey, Rush.

Hey, Val. They're some kids from C.U. Hey, Val,

come on over. I want to introduce you to some people.

You said I should come on up, brother.

I'm so glad you're here.

My father's set me up on a blind date.

He is so annoying, Brandon.

ROBIN: Hi, nice to meet you.

BRANDON: Are you sure? 'Cause where I'm standing,

she looks fine.

Steve, you and Brandon gonna join us or not?

Uh, you know what?

I'm gonna get him settled in the hacienda.

Catch up with you later, okay?

Have fun.

See you guys. Bye.

Every date Rush has ever set me up with

has had major baggage.

One girl's father was suing him.

Another girl's mom he was trying to date.

I'm telling you, the list is endless.

Maybe you're overreacting.

Rush doesn't change.

There's always an angle with him.

Ah! You think you've got problems with your dates.

What? Not you and the vampiress?

Bro, I'm telling you.

All last night I can hear her breathing in the next room,

waiting for me to come in there and handle her action.

Well, she's been breathing in the next room all year long.

Maybe you're the one overreacting.

I don't think so. Howdy-do, amigos?

Muntz.

Hola, Muntz. New look?

Nah, I just wanted to be packing. Uh-huh

I got margaritas in one holster,

sloe gin fizz in the other.

Who wants a squirt?

We do. Give it up.

Uh-uh-uh! Mm!

No, none for me.

Brandon, are you sure about this?

I mean, you're the one

with the man-eater snapping at your tail.

Seldom wrong, and right again, Steve.

Hit me with a little bit of that gin.

Huh?

Give me some more of that.

Atta boy.

Brando came to party. Let's go get some.

BRANDON: ♪ La cucaracha. ♪

MAN (over P.A.): Welcome to the National KEG Alpha Convention.

Thanks.

Registration for all delegates will be held...

RAY: Hey, I'll get those, man. I'll...

No, you are on vacation.

ANNOUNCER: ...courtyard, featuring the distinctive sounds of...

Look, I know people serving you

is supposed to make you feel relaxed,

but with me it has just the opposite effect.

(grinding sound)

Hey, watch the second gear.

Will you relax and enjoy the good life?

Look, I think I'm just gonna drop you off and head back

'cause I should be rehearsing with the band.

No, you don't. You're staying.

Come on.

(man speaking indistinctly over P.A. system)

Well, you have to admit, it is incredible here.

Yeah.

I thought you liked the desert.

Yeah, I like the desert.

Riding horses with my uncle,

there wasn't any guy in a uniform parking my truck.

So we'll ride.

JILL: Hi, Donna!

Hi, Jill!

I just don't know anybody here.

Well, you know me, and you know Steve--

who's happy to let you crash at his place, by the way.

Donna. Hi, sweetheart. Hi, Mom.

Well, what a surprise to see you here.

Donna convinced me to come up for a few days,

catch her speech.

Ah, really?

Well, I trust she also explained

that her dance card is pretty full.

I mean, after all, this is a KEG-Alpha event.

Mother. Well, fine, honey.

I just didn't want him to feel left out.

No, if he feels left out, he'll let you know.

(chuckles): Good.

Excuse me.

Oh...

(rock music playing)

Muntz, hit me.

Again? Hit me.

I don't know, man, I have to

cut you off pretty soon. Muntz, hit me! Hit me!

Ah, ah, ah!

Thanks, man. Yo, Raymond.

Great tunes, huh, bud?

Ha-ha!

Somebody's toasted.

(people whooping)

I'll take that, I'll take that.

Ready, guys?

Game point. Here we go, guys-- concentrate.

Whoa!

(cheering)

Brandon!

(laughs): Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Hey, man, we're one point away from victory here.

Eh, victory sucks!

(grunting)

(yells)

(yells)

Is Brandon always like this?

(laughs): He's never like this.

Well, uh, what about Steve?

I mean, he does like girls, right?

I'd have to say Steve loves girls.

If you're interested, I'd go for it.

Okay, come on, are we ready

to play a little volleyball, or what?

(indistinct shouts) Yeah!

Okay, okay, I see what you're doing.

Take this.

(others whooping)

(European accent): Of course you know, you've broken practically

every volleyball rule known to man.

Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?

Chicken fight!

(gasps)

(people shouting)

Enjoying yourself?

Yeah, it's okay.

FELICE: Boy, when I was your age,

bathing suits were a little more discreet.

The least you could do is stop standing here gawking at her.

So you don't approve

of what she's wearing?

Please. Well, Mrs. Martin,

I think you might want to sit down.

We actually agree on something.

Well, I haven't had any luck

in getting her to tone down her wardrobe.

Maybe it's time for you to try.

(Donna squealing)

(others cheering)

Give me that.

Hey, Donna,

time to get out.

What'd you say?

Get out.

(groans) Dude, I don't want Robin.

She's tainted. Steve, if I have to hear one more word about

the "Robin Conspiracy," it's gonna force me to stop drinking.

Oh, yeah? Well, I don't see you

letting Valerie mount you in the chicken fights,

okay, Mr. Rooster Living in the Henhouse?

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

BRANDON: Ah, you see, Valerie over there,

is supposed to be like a sister to me,

but right now my willpower's at about zero.

Well, either we give in or we get out of the pool.

I say we get out.

You got any ideas for any excuses?

Hey, guys, we've got an emergency developing here.

What's the problem?

We're running dangerously low on beer.

There's an excuse! Bingo!

We're gonna go get some beer. Yeah. Buh-bye.

Sweetheart!

(whispers): Love you!

DYLAN: What? You-you never shot a close-up?

You can't even tell that that's me up there!

CHARLEY: Well, I'll tell you what.

When we get this movie off the ground,

then I'll hire a professional cinematographer.

Yeah, well, at least I got my butt up there, man.

You-you didn't even try.

I make it a policy never to get off the ground

unless there's a stewardess on board.

Well, with these paraglider people on board,

we're only about a million shy of the budget, right?

Don't worry.

Uncle Charley's got something major brewing.

Mm, how major?

Major enough to finance

the whole picture all by himself.

Really? Has he read the script?

I faxed him a one-sheet.

He wants us to come out to his place

in the desert and go over it.

If he likes it, we can be in preproduction by summer.

What's the catch?

Why do you always think that there's a catch?

When there's this much money, there is always a catch.

Well, the only thing that he said was

that he wants us to make sure that there's a part

for his girlfriend in the movie.

Girlfriend?

He says she's really talented.

(big sigh)

Did you promise her a part, or did you promise her the lead?

Oh, wait a minute.

What's the matter?

Did we just leave two robo-babes in tiny bikinis

to come here and buy beer with your fake I.D.?

(laughs): Look, what can I say,

I'm just not attracted to Robin.

She's... she's got one hell of a hard body--

all right, I'll give that up-- but...

I'm not tingling.

Then you must be downing Novocain spritzers, my friend.

(chuckles): Oh, yeah? Well,

what about you and Valerie, huh?

That's what I'm trying to tell you, bro.

I'm kind of reconsidering.

I wonder if that's the Caddy

I saw when I first came to town.

Ah, there she is--

the goddess in the hat!

Don't look, don't look. Walk with me.

Bro, I may turn into a pillar of salt,

and if I do, just use me for margaritas-- I got to look.

I got to do it. I'm doing it, I'm doing it.

STEVE: Ah! See? Now I am tingling.

Forget it, Steve-- she's way out of your league.

She's a goddess; you're a mere mortal.

STEVE: She's... Ah! She... Ah!

She's got to be a model.

She's model quality.

Steve, I'm not real big on models right now.

Oh, yeah-- Kelly. Sorry.

Yeah, Kelly.

Let's talk about goddesses, huh?

Okay.

A goddess here...

(bossa nova playing) And for dessert, Crème brûlée.

Is there some sort of hidden meaning here?

What do you mean?

Crème brûlée means "burnt cream."

(laughs): I'm sorry, I didn't know that.

Does it bother you?

No. Flambé I would have taken as a personal affront.

You know, you have to have the best attitude of anybody I know.

Well... I'm on my best behavior.

Good.

Hey, what's going on in there?

I don't know. You tell me.

DAVID: Wait a second, is that Alison from the fire?

CLARE: Yep.

So Kelly turned down Dylan and Brandon for Alison?

It can't be the way it looks, right?

Ah, but why the big secret?

DAVID: We better get going.

CLARE: No.

They just saw us.

(groans)

I thought you guys were supposed to be in Palm Springs.

Nope. We're still here.

We just got tied up

doing some... errands and stuff for my dad.

Alison...

Clare and David.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, you two obviously... want to...

be alone.

I mean, you...

probably have lots to talk about,

so I'm just, uh...

gonna grab my suitcase, and then we'll leave.

♪ ♪

Hi. I'm-I'm David. Yeah.

I assumed you were David and she was Clare.

DAVID (chuckles): Yeah.

KELLY: Want to stay

for some food? The more the merrier.

Oh, no, we really

got to keep moving, actually.

CLARE: All set.

Great.

Well... bye.

Nice to meet you again.

Have a good... dinner.

(door closes)

I want to humbly apologize for my roommates.

They're usually a lot more mature about things.

(chuckles): Although...

seeing this, I can see how they'd get the wrong idea.

Well, blame it on me.

I set the table.

Alison...

I know you have... these feelings for me.

I mean, it's totally natural

after all that we've been through together to...

think about each other.

A lot, even.

I mean, it'd be weird if we didn't.

I know.

That's what I've been telling myself, too.

But... after spending all day together,

I know now that there's more to it than that.

Alison...

I really love you, Kelly.

I do.

Well, I hope you're glad you stayed, Ray.

Yes, I am. Thank you, Mrs. Martin.

Oh, and, if you're responsible

for what Donna's wearing, thank you.

Face it, guys. Sonny Bono's blowing you off.

He and Cher are rehearsing for their comeback.

(chuckles)

Brandon, for your information,

Mr. Bono is now speaking

to the National Republican Women's Caucus,

and shall be here momentarily.

I don't think he even went to college.

Would you knock it off, please, hmm?

Well, then, what college did he go to?

STEVE: Look, cool it, man, okay?

This is a big deal for us.

The guy's a U.S. senator.

He's a congressman, Steve.

Congressman. He has no sense of punctuality,

and he never could carry

a tune. Remember? Would you get him out of here, please?

Wait. Don't you touch that! No!

Got your cake.

Thanks for being in my corner, man.

How many times have I covered for you before?

Hey, look. You're dangerous tonight, all right?

I want you to go put yourself right to bed.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me go back in there and apologize.

I think that would just make things worse, Brandon.

Okay, fine. I understand.

Go on back to your little big deal there.

Hey, and no more drinking tonight.

Okay? Tomorrow's another day.

Bro, I'm not even drunk.

(clattering)

See? I'm fine. Fine.

Well, good evening, bathing beauty.

Hey, stranger.

Where you been?

Trying to find my way back here. This place is immense!

Well, come on in. There's a lot of room.

Go get your bathing suit on!

All right. Okay.

Don't you go anywhere.

(knocking on door)

How's it going?

Come on in.

Ta-da!

It's not exactly traffic-stopping, I know.

No. It's beautiful.

It was really nice of you to take me shopping today.

For the past six months, my only fashion choices

have been the color of the pressure bandage.

Could you, uh... help me snap this?

Sure.

(whispers): Thanks.

So, um... can I ask you something?

Looking for fashion advice?

Afraid not.

I didn't think so.

Why didn't you tell your roommates

I was going to be here today?

I don't know.

I just didn't feel like discussing everything

to death.

I wanted us to have a nice day

before you headed up north.

I don't absolutely have to go.

You know, it's so strange

because I know that you're looking

at the two of us standing here,

and you see a couple.

But that's... just so far from the way I feel.

You know, Kelly,

it's definitely one of those things

that you'll never know until you try.

I guess what I'm saying is that I know.

I'm sorry.

I think I should probably get some sleep.

My legs are starting to hurt,

and I can't be responsible for what I say

once those painkillers kick in.

I'm going to miss you.

Have fun in Palm Springs.

I'll miss you, too.

CINDY: Have you lost your mind?

Brandon, you said you wouldn't fall apart on us.

What are you guys doing here?

Well, you better ask yourself that.

This is your delusion.

Yeah. And since when did you start drinking?

Hang on a second, Dad.

I've earned this bender.

I was a good Boy Scout for a long time.

Where did it get me, huh?

CINDY: So, every time

you don't get your way,

you're going to get self-destructive?

Mom, I'm just having a little bit

of good old-fashioned fun, like everybody else.

No, you're not.

You're joining Valerie in that hot tub

with impure thoughts.

JIM: Well, she has practically thrown herself at him.

It's a wonder he's held out this long.

Stifle it, Jim!

She's like family.

You understand that, don't you, Brandon?

Yeah, I do. Okay?

I do.

VALERIE: Who you talking to?

Uh...

Nobody.

Why?

I was worried about you.

You were taking so long.

Let's get you into that hot tub.

200 people exactly like your mom.

I didn't think I was going to get out of there alive.

Oh, come on. You and my mom

looked like old pals tonight.

Believe me. The only thing

that kept me going was the thought

of us going horseback riding tomorrow.

Yeah? What about tonight?

Why don't you come to my room for a while?

Well, we could do that.

But, with your mother in the next room,

it could get a little dicey.

Besides, if I don't get back to Steve's

before all the beds are taken,

then I'm probably going

to be sleeping in my truck.

Well, looks like Steve

might be sleeping elsewhere tonight.

Lucky him.

Good night.

Night.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I just don't like when my father tries to fix me up.

It's the same with me.

You know, I thought you had to be another geeky loser.

Until I saw you on the tennis court, that is.

You made quite an impression on me, too.

Maybe we should just think about us,

and let our fathers concentrate

on that business deal they're putting together.

Business deal?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Oh, come on! Stop being a wuss.

It's not that hot when you get in.

Ah, ah, okay, that's better.

Oh, yeah, that's better.

So, uh... you want to smoke a little?

No, thanks.

I think I've had enough hallucinations for one night.

I'm just going to kind of relax a little

right over here.

Well, don't be over there too long.

People are going to start coming back.

What people?

CROWD: ♪ Keep that hot tub humming ♪

MAN: Can I help you?

Yeah. Hi. Charley Rawlins, Dylan McKay to see Mr. Rose.

We're here about the movie project-- On Borrowed Time.

Okay.

You must have said

the magic word.

Open, Sesame!

CHARLEY: Not a bad little piece of property, eh?

DYLAN: Who lives here, the Sultan of Brunei?

CHARLEY: Hey, stick with me, man,

and the world will be your oyster.

DYLAN: Just drive.

Great! Rollins and McKay.

Come on in, boys.

I'm glad you could do this on such short notice.

I'm Tom.

Charley. This is Dylan.

How you doing? Welcome.

You know, I always like to say

that we're on "desert time" out here.

So, if things seem a little too relaxed,

that's because they are.

No problem with me.

We'll work, we'll eat, and you'll

stay the night. Hmm?

Building up relationships, to me,

is just like building equity.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Good. Lou will show you to your rooms,

you can get refreshed, and then

we'll get down to it.

You know, Angela is really looking forward

to a read-through of the script.

Where is Angela?

Oh, she's... she's working out

on the patio.

CHARLEY: Oh. Well, she

certainly has a lot of presence.

Thanks.

Lou, uh, take their bags to their rooms, will you?

Yes, sir, Mr. Rose.

Oh, guys, hold on a second.

I'll pull Angela from that StairMaster.

So, uh... what business is Tom in

that he needs the bodyguard?

CHARLEY: He's in, um...

vending machines.

Oh, he's in vending machines.

Why don't you just say he was an olive oil importer?

You mean the guy's connected?

Dylan, the guy is a serious movie investor.

He's very knowledgeable.

Doesn't answer

my question.

Would you just be cool about it?

He's staked lots of films.

This is a no-brainer.

Yeah. So are you.

Yeah.

(horse whinnying)

This is more like it.

Can you believe how much it's changed in the last ten years?

I don't really know what it was like then.

Totally different.

See all these houses

with the uh, red roofs and swimming pools?

It was just desert before,

a few roadrunners and lots and lots of snakes.

Calm down there... It's all right.

You just have his reins too tight

after a long gallop like that.

Thanks.

I guess I'm a little out of practice.

You want some

juice or water?

No. I'm fine.

Actually, we uh, we should be heading back soon.

Wait a second, we just got going.

We've been out almost an hour, Ray.

Wait a second.

I drove you all the way to Palm Springs.

I'm as nice as possible to your mother.

I'm living with Steve Sanders

and the Village of Drunken Idiots because you asked me to.

And now I can't get more than an hour of your precious time?

You know my mother's moderating a panel this morning.

You know I can't miss it.

Oh, sure, but you can blow me off.

Thanks a lot.

Ray, you're not being fair.

No, I'm being more than fair.

You had all the time in the world yesterday

to prance around half naked

in front of these jerks from KEG House.

I what?

I bought that bathing suit for you.

I mean, you can ask Kelly, she was right there with me.

In fact every time I buy anything it's always,

"Will Ray like this?"

Sure. Should we go now?

Look, if you want me to dress differently,

just tell me and I will.

But I can't

miss my mother's panel, you know that.

What I know is, if you loved me,

I'd be higher on your list of priorities.

Ray... And you wouldn't

need all those guys leering at you.

You wouldn't want it.

I don't want it!

Brando, I got ice packs,

I got vitamin B, I got crackers.

What do you want?

I just want to die.

The aspirin didn't work, huh?

Not on this hangover.

Let me see what I got that's stronger.

Just don't let me drink today.

(chuckles)

Hey, David, Clare.

Hey.

What's going on, man?

What's up, man?

Brandon, nice trunks.

Hi, kids.

Welcome to hell.

Muntz is the devil, steer clear.

I didn't expect to see you here.

You're not seeing me.

I'm somebody else.

I better go look for Alphaville,

tell Donna we're here, okay?

Hey, did Kelly come up with you guys?

Hmm?

Nope. No, I haven't seen her.

Bye.

Dave?

Yes, sir?

What was that about?

Uh, nothing.

Dave?

Donna already told me

that Kelly's got something going on back home.

Is she seeing Dylan?

No. It isn't Dylan.

But she is seeing someone?

Look, Brandon, you really shouldn't jump

to conclusions or anything.

Dave, don't make me get out

of this pool.

Okay, okay.

(sighs)

Well, we uh, walked in on Kelly last night with...

Alison.

With Alison?

Alison, Alison?

Yeah, Alison, Alison.

I think I have the ticket.

Tabasco.

Forget the Tabasco.

How about a beer?

Oh, boy.

FELICE: Well, they call us elitists,

and, uh, they're not entirely wrong...

(group chuckling)

But from what I've heard here today,

we can all feel very, very good about ourselves.

Because now, as this whole country tries to return

to basic moral values-- friendship,

honesty, loyalty,

family-- we can all truly say

those have been our values all along.

And to all the Johnny-come-latelies,

better late than never.

Thank you all very much.

Do you think that "better late than never" was for me?

You better hope so.

Your mom was really hurt

when you two lovebirds didn't show up.

Oh, boy.

Mom!

I am sorry.

This was supposed to be our time together.

Uh, Mrs. Martin, it was my fault.

I thought I knew the trail,

and we took a wrong turn and got lost.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, Ray.

It's gentlemanly.

But it doesn't make me look any less a perfect fool

talking about family and decency

when my own daughter doesn't have the courtesy to show up.

I guess we should have showed up a little earlier.

She'll get over it. DONNA: You think?

I'm still hearing about stuff I did wrong in the first grade.

I'll give you a quick briefing

and you can talk to her about it at the luncheon.

I think I'll sit that one out.

Fine.

Then go back to Steve's.

No, believe me, I'm not going back there.

I'm done with Steve and Brandon

and that whole lame ass KEG crowd.

Wait, Brandon's here?

STEVE: Okay, hold it down. It's ringing.

Okay, this is the game,

match, set, whatever it is... (all laughing)

Hold on, it's ringing! Take it, take it!

OPERATOR: Doctor's office. (Southern accent): Uh, hi, there, is this

Dr. Holden's office?

Yeah, uh, my name is, uh, Richard Zinya,

and I'm a very well-endowed man,

and I was wondering if you do some sort of a uh,

a reduction surgery over there?

Would you find that out for me, please?

Dude, 45 seconds

you had them on the line!

Nice! You the man.

Thank you, thank you.

Party on.

What's the matter, Kelly, you don't approve?

Don't let me stop you.

It's all a little lame, but have your fun. Wait, Kel.

Come on back, hang out with us guys.

Oh, that's right, you don't like guys anymore.

STEVE: D'oh!

(laughter)

Brandon, can you come downstairs, please?

Absolutely.

(German accent): But hurry back.

Ivana Tinkel

will be calling the urology department next.

What was that crack about?

I don't know, you tell me.

Did you really leave me for a girl?

Who told you that? David or Clare?

See, I don't see you denying it.

So, women turn you on, huh?

They always work for me.

Alison is just my friend. Do you have a problem with that?

Uh, excuse me, I'm sorry, this will only take a second.

Uh, Brandon, I got that room if you need a place to crash.

Thanks.

Don't get the wrong idea, Kelly.

It's a two-bedroom suite.

You know what,

I don't care what Brandon does with his life anymore.

Obviously you don't either.

He's all yours.

Well, I guess she told me.

Eat that!

Florida wins!

Excuse me. What?

Excuse me. What?!

What did you do to that girl?

Nothing.

Which is why she's so pissed.

You trying to make her life miserable?

Or mine?

You know what?

I don't like you using me

as a stud animal for your networking, okay?

What're you talking about?

Don't deny it.

You want me to go out with Robin

just so you can close some business deal with Buddy, right?

You got bubbles in your think tank?

The deal with Buddy is for a nonprofit charity.

I don't care whether I do it, one way or the other.

Then why are you pressing me to go out with her?

Because I wanted you to meet

a real dreamboat for once in your sorry life.

What a knucklehead you are.

All right. It's always my fault, huh?

(sighs)

WOMAN: "Picture yourself going

"down...

"a long, golden

"staircase. Listen

"to the sound of my voice.

"Let it take you deeper

and deeper."

Doctor, I can feel it again.

"Hold the image

"and breathe through it. Let it take you

wherever it's going to go."

CHARLEY: "Carl's eyes widen with sudden alarm.

His hypnotherapist leans in and whispers..."

"What are you seeing?"

CHARLEY: "Cut to Carl's office at the bank.

"Night. Bill Masters and

Sgt. Dray flip on Carl's computer."

"We've got to work fast."

Charley, let's, let's put a pin in this, huh?

What, is something wrong?

No, not really. We just need a break.

Thank you.

I have to go to the potty.

CHARLEY: You know, uh, speaking as a director...

she's got a lot of potential.

She's not your problem. Your problem is story.

How's that? Look...

I know a fair amount about how banks work,

and I don't believe Carl's scam.

Now, if I don't believe it,

how's your average Joe going to relate?

Well, I disagree with you.

I've done a lot of research on that.

ROSE: Sorry, no financier

could pull it off. You'd see it coming.

It works.

I know.

CHARLEY: I think that

Dylan's father created this.

DYLAN: Yeah, he did.

Made himself a fortune.

I'd like to meet your father.

Yeah, well, good luck, he's dead.

Was your father Jack McKay?

Yeah. Why? You know him?

Not really.

But, uh... if you're telling me Jack McKay

pulled off this scam, I buy it.

Let's get back to the script.

Angela!

Angela!

Steve! How was your tennis match?

It was a disaster.

What are you doing in Valerie's car?

Ah, looks like I'm gonna move my toothbrush

out of KEG central and move into her suite.

Wow...

What about Kelly?

Disastrous. Want to go into town?

Any place is better than here.

(groans) So, I told Valerie I'd gas up her car

and get some necessities at the drug store.

I can't believe you're gonna do the nasty with Valerie.

Well, neither can I, but at this point in time

it doesn't look like there's any turning back.

(tires squealing)

RAY: What is this? You're still mad

about missing this thing with your mother?

DONNA: Could we just let it drop?

I need a break, okay?

What? You need a break from me?

No, I want to get out of these clothes.

Good, 'cause the only reason I'm here is you,

but maybe I should go back to L.A. and rehearse with my band,

which is what I shoulda been doing this whole time anyway.

Yeah. Maybe you should.

Hey, don't walk away from me.

Stop it!

Stop acting like I'm not even here.

You know what? I can't deal with this.

Why are you so mad at me?!

Because you make me mad.

You know what? I have to go work on my speech.

No!

Ow! You're hurting me!

You're gonna listen to me.

(shrieks)

Donna!

Donna.

Ow... (sobs) Donna.

I didn't mean to, babe. (crying)

Stay away from me.

VALERIE: Donna?

Are you okay?

No.

Ray, go get the hotel doctor.

Go! I'll stay here.

You go get the doctor.

It was an accident, babe.

I didn't mean to.

You know that, don't you?

All right, man, will you get the gas?

I want to check the oil.

I can't believe how I blew it.

Robin must think I'm an idiot.

So, apologize for being an idiot.

You need a little help?

Oh, wow.

The goddess in the Caddy.

Hmmm.

Hi, can I do that to you... for you?

Darling, you read my mind. My nail polish is still drying.

Oh.

High-test, I assume?

Absolutely. Thanks.

Oh, I'm, I'm Elle.

I'm Steve.

Wet nails.

This is, uh...

Brandon. I thought he was helping me.

Ha-ha-ha.

Ha-ha-ha.

Well, I take it you guys aren't from the Springs?

No, no. We're just here for a little R&R.

It's a great town, though.

Are you from here?

Absolutely.

A born and bred desert rose.

So, are you going to just stand there

with that hose in your hand?

Or are you going to stick it in my tank?

Pshaw.

Ray. How is she?

Don't know yet. Well, I went

to her hotel room. They said an ambulance came. What happened?

Well, we were, uh, heading up the stairs towards her suite,

and she... tripped or something,

and, uh, next thing I knew, she was down at the bottom, holding

her arm like it was broken. Her arm?

Thank God. I thought she'd broken her neck or something.

No, we got lucky.

Yeah. Hey!

How are you feeling?

Are you okay, babe?

I've been climbing the walls out here.

It's true. He has. You have one very worried

guy on your hands.

Well, say something, honey.

They're gonna think you have a concussion.

It's just a sprain.

Well, that's great.

I'm gonna

call Valerie. I'll be right back.

Valerie?

Yeah. She was a big help.

Valerie was a big help?

Are you sure she didn't push you?

Look, I know you're no ballerina,

but what happened?

Did you tell her what happened?

KELLY: Yeah, he said you came,

you saw, you fell.

Yeah. (giggles)

It was pretty embarrassing.

(soft music playing)

After all, you did abandon Valerie to come here.

I called her, told her I was gonna be late.

She was very understanding.

Perhaps you're having second thoughts

about bunking down with her.

I'm onto third thoughts already, Dad,

but we're young, we're able-bodied.

We'll be careful. It'll be ecstasy.

What's the big deal?

Valerie looks up to you.

You shouldn't break that trust.

Would you give me a little help here, Dad?

Oh, yeah. Help him out.

Tell him how you almost cheated on me

with your secretary.

"Almost" doesn't count.

I resisted temptation.

BRANDON: Tomorrow, I'll resist.

Tonight I'm gonna roll in the mud,

and do me a favor-- you two don't show up.

It could be very traumatic for all of us.

He's got a point.

I don't feel right about this, Jim.

Wait a minute, if you guys really cared,

you wouldn't be running off to Hong Kong

and leaving me all alone, now, would you?

(audience clapping)

Good job. Hey, look,

you want to get something to drink?

Uh, sure. I need to find the ladies room.

Okay.

Grrrowl!

(laughs)

Okay... (sighs)

Think you can close this deal by yourself?

Well, let's just say that it's in the bag.

You know what I'm saying?

I do know what you're saying.

Godspeed, my friend.

(snaps fingers) Waiter!

My personal favorite's always been Orion.

Out here in the desert,

you can see why he's called "The Hunter."

You're right. I can see his bow.

I can see his moustache.

He doesn't have a moustache, sweetheart.

You know, Tom, I was thinking

about that bit in Act One with Carl

and the doctor.

If we have them looking at the stars, then that leads

right into the whole scene about having a-a soul mate.

I just got buzzed by Security.

Is there a problem?

The McKay kid was in Rollin'' car making a phone call.

Security picked it up on the scan.

Who was he calling?

Where are you taking me?

Back to my pleasure palace.

Ooh! I don't think I can wait.

Yes, you can. So behave, or I may have to discipline you.

Well, I gotta tell you, Elle...

I've been a very, very bad boy.

Really?

Give me some sugar, baby.

Hey, easy, lover.

What's this?

(man's voice): Honey, like you didn't know.

(shrieks)

How could you possibly

tell Brandon that I was "with" Alison?

I said it was a mistake.

Kelly, you're the one

that did the big undercover act, okay?

I'm sorry if we got the wrong idea.

No, I don't care what you think.

It's Brandon that I'm worried about.

Look, whatever he said,

my guess is the Alison rumor's the least of it.

(applause nearby)

I gotta agree with David.

Has anybody seen Brandon?

He said he'd be back by now.

I guess she hasn't seen him, huh?

RADIO ANNOUNCER: Two-car accident on Bob Hope Drive.

Police and ambulance are on the scene right now.

If you're driving on Interstate 10 approaching the...

(radio static crackles)

(siren blares)

(siren wailing)

Good evening.

Good evening, Officer.

I was just, uh...

having a little trouble with the stereo.

Have you been drinking today?

No, sir.

Well, I-I-I did have a couple of beers.

A couple? Yeah.

But that was... 12 hours ago.

Yeah, just a few in the morning, huh?

Could you find your license

and registration for me, please?

Yeah. Listen...

Here's my, uh... here's my license. I'm not exactly...

Take it out of your wallet, please.

...sure where the, uh,

registration is... Officer.

You see, it's, uh, it's not my car.

So, Mr. Walsh, whose car is this?

Uh... A friend loaned it to me.

Mr. Walsh, I'm gonna

have to ask you to step out of the car, please.

Officer, this, this isn't mine.

Just step out of the car.

Step to the back of the vehicle, please.

Place your hands on the trunk. Step back

and spread your feet apart.

Don't make me repeat myself.

Place your hands on the trunk.

(garbled police radio transmission)

LOU: You want to get a move on!

Mr. Rose is waiting.

So what's the first stop?

I just do what Mr. Rose says.

He says you want to see some locations for the movie.

He says you're gonna like 'em.

Good.

Good morning. Make yourself comfortable.

Where's Charley?

He went up in the other car.

Have a newspaper. It's a long ride.

Val, wake up.

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.

Brandon, cut it out!

Go ahead and ask me where I've been all night.

Go ahead, ask me.

I don't want to know.

I waited for you until about 4:00 in the morning.

That's because I was detained by the police,

thanks to a joint you had over the sun visor in your car.

In my car? What happened to my car?

Your car is fine.

It didn't spend all night in a holding cell.

Brandon, what are you doing?

Where are you going with my stash?

(toilet flushes)

What is your problem?!

You're lucky this wasn't in your car when they searched it.

Brandon, I'm sorry you got busted.

Do you have any idea what could have happened to me

if I would have tested positive for use?

Do you?

Well, nothing bad happened.

Everything turned out okay, right?

(sighs)

No. (chuckles ruefully)

I promised my parents I wouldn't do anything stupid

after they left, and everything I've done

from that point forward has been a monument to idiocy.

Well, not everything.

Don't start with me, Val.

I'm supposed to be looking out for you, too.

Well, I don't need anybody looking out for me,

including you.

Good, your car's out front. Have a safe drive.

I'm gonna find my own way home.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Oh, no, I'm not taking any of the credit.

You're a quick study.

Well, I mean, you have a lot of patience.

I've been through a lot of instructors trying

to learn a decent backhand.

Well, I do have a lot of patience,

but that's only for people who I feel have a lot of talent.

Aw.

Ooh... See you at the luncheon.

Yeah.

So Steve, you're back with Robin.

What happened to Elle?

That just didn't work out.

What do you mean, it didn't work out?

Uh, it didn't work out.

What do you mean, it didn't work out?

You said it was in the bag.

Yeah, well, it never made it into the bag,

and it's just one of those things.

I don't understand.

Look, it's really embarrassing, and, uh,

it's something that I thought

could never possibly happen to me,

so I don't wanna talk about it.

You couldn't perform?

(laughs)

I didn't want to perform.

She's a he.

She's a wha...?

She's a he.

So help me, Brandon,

if you tell one person about this,

I swear, I'll hunt you down and beat you senseless!

No, no, no! No, no, no, no!

No, I'll never tell a soul, I promise, I promise.

I've done a few things in my life I'd rather forget.

Nothing quite this extreme, but...

All right, so tell me what happened with you

and your little rendezvous with that vampiress.

Rendezvous-us interruptus, my friend.

So at least there was some good news.

I'm glad you made it here anyway, bro.

I'm just glad I survived.

Don't take any wooden nickels, bro.

(laughs)

I'm serious, Brandon!

MAN: Fore!

Hey, man, that's my hacienda!

You break a window, you're gonna have to pay for that!

Well, not that I'm so happy

with the circumstances,

but it looks like we needed this time together

to go over your speech.

I guess I was a little distracted.

It's not very good, is it?

Oh, honey, there's always room for improvement.

I'm gonna run down the hall

and get some ice before we get into this.

Ray, can you take care of the patient?

Sure, Mrs. Martin.

Donna...

Get away from me.

Stay away from me!

Look, it just kills me to see you sitting there hating me.

I don't hate you.

Well, I'm looking at you and that's what I see.

I just don't get it.

I mean, this was supposed to be a nice weekend for us.

I should never have come here.

I told you I shoulda stayed in L.A.

And when we got here, I tried to go back, didn't I?

Look, we both know

that no good ever comes out of me mixing

with your college friends,

does it?

Donna?

(door opens)

All right, let's get started.

Look, you guys have a lot of work to do,

so I'll see you both later.

Okay, we'll save a seat for you right up front.

Oh, come on now, you can get along

without him for a couple of hours.

(door closes)

Okay, let's see.

Kel...

I want to apologize for what I said yesterday.

I wasn't exactly myself.

I don't think you really left me for Alison.

You seemed pretty devoted to the idea at the time.

Well, I guess maybe in a way,

it would be easier for me if that was the case.

See ya.

You can still love someone without being married.

Why does everything have to be over?

Kelly, I proposed to you.

And Dylan showed up with some world tour.

I mean, it was like a weird contest between the two of you,

and I was caught in the middle.

Do you really think I'd do something like that to you?

I'm saying that that's how it felt.

Well, let me tell you how it felt from my side.

I asked the one person I ever wanted to spend

the rest of my life with to tell me that she felt the same way.

It turned out I was just another guy.

You weren't.

You aren't.

Yeah, well, you're going your way

and I'm going mine.

I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought I did.

So you're never gonna forgive me?

It's not a question of forgiveness, Kelly.

There's just no going back.

Well, I'm not gonna give up on you yet.

I'll see you around.

♪ ♪

Put on the coat. It's gonna be chilly.

What, you mean we're going up in the tram?

Yeah, we got a private booking

before it opens to the public.

So, uh, what scene

do you see us filming up here?

The paraglider chase.

End of the tram is Mt. San Jacinto.

Top of the world. No better place.

ROSE: Try to get the whole picture.

You got five towers supporting cable that runs

12,800 feet up

with a vertical ascent of 6,000 feet.

Sure you weren't a tour guide here or something?

No, I just love riding it.

It's a feat of engineering

most Californians never bother to see.

Here we go.

You mean, we're gonna go now?

Without Charley?

He's probably already up there.

I don't really think I want to go. Hey!

(clanging)

♪ ♪

(clattering)

Hold it there.

Nice view, huh?

(wind whistling)

You open the door?

(muffled): Mm-mm! Mm!

(wind whistling)

I never expected to be taking you up here like this.

(grunting)

Please, no!

But we know that

you tried to call a, uh... Christine Pettit last night.

What did you want with an FBI agent?

Oh that's all right. No, that's all right.

You, uh, you don't have to tell me. I can guess.

I bet, I bet you wanted to know about me.

Or maybe you wanted to know

if I had anything to do with, uh...killing your old man?

Mm-mm!

Which, by the way, I didn't,

but I do know who did.

You want to know?

Uh-uh!

Come on. Sure, you do.

Everybody else does.

Even your friends at the FBI.

They've known all along.

So you want me to tell you?

Because then you'll know, too.

I'll do it.

Uh-uh.

I'll tell you.

Uh-uh! Uh-uh!

(glass shatters)

You want that?

Uh-uh!

Uh-uh!

Uh-uh! Please!

Good boy. Good boy.

Close the door.

I don't want to hurt you, McKay,

but I don't want to ever

hear you doing stupid things again.

You got that?

Hmm?

Good.

Then relax.

We got a movie to make.

(laughs)

Ooh!

You should have woke me up.

That's "awaken you" sweetheart, and I shouldn't have.

You were sleeping like an angel.

Hey, Tom.

Charley.

Boy, I sure wish I'd gotten up on time.

How was the location scout?

We had a really good time.

Yeah,

yeah, we saw some great places... for my grave.

(chuckles) You're not serious, right?

No, what I am is gone, okay?

Me and Tom had a little talk on the way back.

I'm gonna walk away from this movie deal.

I think you should, too.

Why, what happened? Look...

he'll give you all the money you need, okay?

Me, I'm going to pack my stuff and get out of here

before he changes his mind.

Dylan, look, I just wrote two new scenes.

You know, I think that I can actually,

probably make Angela work, okay?

Fine, you do it. Good luck, okay?

But I'm leaving.

I need a long bus ride home.

Well, just hang around and have lunch then, okay?

Boy, now I know why Donna was so worked up

about this whole speech thing.

I know, I had no idea

there was gonna be so many people here.

You know, if you took every Alpha in this room

and, and laid them end to end...

There'd be a lot of happy KEG guys.

David, Clare.

This is Robin.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

You remember Kelly.

So, are you ever going to like me again?

You lucked out.

Brandon and I are talking, sort of.

So, I like you.

How about me?

You I'm not so sure about.

Oh, so you do prefer women over men! I see...

(laughing)

I just, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

Ray

and Felice Martin?

That's an odd couple.

Yeah, they bonded at the sing-along after you left.

DAVID: You'd never know by looking,

but I think Felice is a closet Beatles fanatic.

What is Valerie doing here?

Obviously you don't know what happened.

I know he hurt you.

What are you talking about?

I saw it. I was there.

I was there, too,

and I don't even know what happened.

Look, if you say anything to anyone...

MAN: Take your seats, please.

Take your seats.

We've got a big program today.

We've gotta get started here.

Take your seats, please.

Look Donna, I'm not here to do an exposé.

I just want to let you know that you're not alone.

I mean, you have a friend.

Do I?

Look, I know there's more going on

with you and Ray than you let on.

And who told you that?

It's pretty obvious.

Look, just because I don't say anything,

doesn't mean I don't know.

You're not my friend.

You're not anyone's friend.

MAN: I'd just like to remind everyone

that after today's program,

we will be gathering out front

for our group photo.

Now, our first speaker is a young Alpha,

from California University.

Let's welcome

Donna Martin,

here to tell us about the New Alpha Woman.

(applause)

Hi.

Well, I guess to start with, I should level with all of you

about how my arm ended up in this sling here.

Well, no one gets in the way of an Alpha

when everything's half off at Ann Taylor's.

(laughter)

You know the Tri-Delt who dared, she's still in the hospital.

So that's the new Alpha-- no one pushes her around.

Although the alums I've met here this weekend

can hold their own, too.

That's the whole meaning of tradition, isn't it?

Passing strength down, one to the next.

ANNOUNCER: Attention, please-- Bus 1321,

express service to Los Angeles, now boarding.

Please have your tickets ready.

Express service to Los Angeles now boarding.

Hey. (gasps)

You look like I feel.

Well, I'm sorry you feel this bad.

What the hell happened to you, chief?

Okay, so, you were hallucinating Jim and Cindy, right?

Like good cop, bad cop?

You know my parents.

It was more like good cop, goody-goody cop.

Right.

Yeah, the subconscious, it's a bitch.

And so is Valerie.

You know, I'm very impressed you were able to resist her.

I never could. I always... I always caved.

Bro, I told you, I had a little help from two apparitions

and one chief of police.

Not to mention a surprise visit from Kelly Taylor.

I wish I hadn't mentioned her.

I don't know how I could've misread her so much.

You wouldn't believe the trip I had planned.

We were going...

Bro, I had four years of engagement ring payments

lined up for me.

How'd she manage to get us both so turned around?

I don't know.

But if it's any consolation,

you have multiple lifetimes to think about it.

Oh, that's comforting, thank you.

Answer me this, Bran...

how'd we end up on this bus?

I don't know,

but for once in my life, I'm in no hurry.

Neither am I.

Ah, you're up.

(sighs)

Time to go?

Well, there's no hurry.

Ray will be here in a few minutes.

I think I've got just about everything packed up.

I guess I was tired.

Well, it's been a big couple of days.

Did I mention to you how many compliments

I got on my daughter's

inspired speech?

Hmm, about a thousand times.

I want to make sure you know how very proud I am of you.

I do.

I know it must seem like I give you a hard time sometimes...

about things.

About "things"?

About Ray mostly.

Mom, you just really don't understand.

But I'm trying to, honey.

I really am.

Because after seeing him here this weekend...

I know he can fit in.

Seeing how worried he was about you when you fell,

even I could see how much he cares about you.

Of course, your father could see it all along,

and I fought it every inch of the way, but...

Maybe love does conquer all.

I don't even believe that anymore.

Well, not all. I mean, it's not always

going to be easy, of course not.

You have no idea how hard it's been lately.

(knocking) RAY: Hey, Donna, you ready?

Just a second.

Unless you're saying you don't love him anymore.

No. I do.

I do love him.

In the long run, maybe that's all that matters.

Hi, Ray. Hey.

You take good care of my baby.

I will.

You ready, Donna?

See you later.

Well, that was fun, bro.

Take it easy.

Yeah, give me a call, man.

All right, will do.

Check out the "for sale" sign.

Uh, Bran, that sign says "sold."

It's all been giving a good "Utz" to market prices...

Randy, let me call you right back, okay?

Bye.

What's that "sold" sign all about? I am so glad

to see you. Your mom and dad have been trying to call you.

What's going on? I faxed them an offer

from Mr. Chu that they could not turn down.

I can't believe it myself.

All cash.

Short escrow. In and out.

Everyone's laughing.

(exaggerated laugh)

(sighs)

AUTOMATED VOICE: Message four. 9:00 a.m.

(beep)

Dylan, it's Christine again.

I just got back to my office at the Bureau.

I don't know if you got my other messages,

but please don't do anything until you talk to me.

The people in the desert who you asked me about

are very dangerous.

We're very close to arresting the men who killed your father

and this is not the time to get involved.

Don't do anything, okay?

No, Christine... not okay.

(beep)

CINDY: Brandon, Brandon, come and look.

Smile, smile, look at the camera.

One, two, three, go. Go!

(cheering)

JIM: We should take the candles out.

Okay, ready, and... Big cut.

Ooh.

Kiss the camera again. (door opening)

All right here you go, one, two...

Hey, Val.

Hey, you're not drinking again, I hope.

No. I'm doing this sober.

I'm not even going to ask why you're watching this.

Because I've gone Smurf crazy.

Okay... JIM: Keep going.

Okay, come on, Valerie, wave at the camera.

BRANDON: Look at that. Wave at the camera.

You were expressive, even back then.

I remember this party.

So do I.

Well, I'm glad you got back safely.

I hope you can forgive me.

I think there's a little too much history

between us not to.

Yeah, we can't let sex and drugs

ruin our long-time friendship.

Friends is all we should be.

JIM: Ooh, very good, very good.

Look at that!

Well, back to reality.

Yep.

Did you check out the "sold" sign in the front yard?

Yeah, I was hoping it was a mistake.

We've got two weeks to get out of here.

Well...

a lot can happen in two weeks.
