(dog barking in distance)

Oh, Kenny,

it's 1:45-- you got to go. What?

Get up, get up.

Oh. We fell asleep-- you got to go home.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I hate this.

Not as much as I do.

What are you gonna tell Diane?

I have no idea.

Maybe she'll finally get mad enough

to kick me out of the house.

I wish.

It's not like you're gonna walk out on your own.

Come on, Val, we've talked about this.

You know it's not that simple.

Yes, it is.

You know, I'm 21 years old,

I'm single, I can sleep with whoever I want to.

So why am I the one who... who feels guilty all the time?

I feel guilty, too.

Does that make you feel any better? No.

I just think you want to have it all, and you can't.

Valerie, this is not about me.

Oh, really? My son

is six years old.

He has kid feelings, okay? We have grown-up feelings.

Why should he have to suffer

because I'm not in love with his mother anymore.

(sighs): I can't do this anymore.

I thought I could.

I-I thought I could be sophisticated.

But I guess I'm not.

Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What are you saying?

Are you ending this?

It's not like I want to, Kenny.

But I'm tired of sneaking around.

You either tell Diane the truth, or it's over.

You look awful. Thanks.

Who's the lucky guy? Does it always have to be a guy?

Let's see, you come in

at 7:00 in the morning looking like

you've been up all night-- looks like a guy to me.

It's Kenny, Brandon.

Yeah, I figured that.

Did he leave his wife? Not yet, but he's going to.

And how long has he been telling you that?

These things take time.

Haven't you ever watched a soap opera, Val?

He's not gonna leave his wife.

And what makes you the big expert?

I have experience in this arena, all right?

You with a married woman? Who?

She was trouble.

Just like Kenny.

Do yourself a favor, go to David's party,

meet some nice young guy who, preferably, isn't married.

Well, thank you, Dr. Walsh.

I'll take two aspirin and I'll call you if I need you.

(sighs)

(yawns)

Are you guys wearing bathing suits to David's party?

Oh, God, no way-- I'm not gonna parade around

so David and his friends can gawk at me all day.

Me, either.

But I guarantee those neighbors of theirs

will show up half naked. Yeah, what's up

with those girls, anyway?

Have you seen how they flirt with David and Mark?

CLARE: No, they don't.

You're just jealous.

Oh, yeah. Jealous of what?

Oh, you're not still into David?

What, I'm-I'm going to the party, aren't I?

David and I are friends.

CLARE: Right, and if he wants

to drool all over his neighbors, then...

That'd be his business.

KELLY: Please, Clare,

like you haven't noticed, every time Steve

is up at that house, his eyes practically pop out of his head.

No, they don't.

Do they?

Well, Steve and I have this arrangement.

Looking's fine; touching ain't.

All right. DONNA: So, um,

what time are we heading up to the party?

You guys go without me-- I told David

I would stop at my mom's and pick up some bowls.

They're serving food?

Apparently, they're going all out.

David said they're serving pretzels and potato chips.

Wow. This is gonna be some party.

(laughter)

Yeah.

(birds chirping)

(laughing, indistinct talking)

CLARE: I heard it's supposed to be,

like, 103 today.

(laughs): No way-- not in the hills.

All right, well, 97, then, if we're lucky.

(gasps): Wait. Look at that.

What?

DONNA: Over there.

It's a deer.

Oh, my gosh!

DONNA: You know, it's getting rarer and rarer

to see deer up in these hills.

My dad, he always says if you spot one it's really good luck.

Well, we must have double good luck, 'cause there's

another one. Oh!

You know, I've never seen a baby deer so close before.

They must come down here looking for water in this heat.

Mm. Maybe they'll come to David's with us and have a brew.

(laughs)

Oh, they're so beautiful, aren't they?

It's amazing they can even survive up here.

Well, it's like everyone else trying to make it in this town--

they start out innocent, but sooner or later

they'll claw their way to the top.

Clare, they're animals.

Who isn't?

(both laugh)

Oh... Oh...

how cute. look.

STEVE: One more time! Here we go!

One...

two...

(girl squeals) three!

KELLY: Hey! Watch it!

Hey, you watch it, or you're next!

(laughs)

Hey. Hi.

I was afraid you wouldn't show up.

Oh, and miss this elegant gathering? Mm-mm.

Ah, good-- Mark's been asking about you all week.

Oh, he has? Yep.

What has he been saying? Oh, same thing he said last week

and the week before that and the week before that.

He says he keeps asking you out,

and you keep telling him it's not the right time.

Well, you know what they say: timing is everything.

Speaking of timing,

I just came up

with the perfect margarita blend. Oh!

David, I am so proud of you.

Now you're gonna have something to fall back on.

Hey, guys!

Hi, Mark. Hey, Mark.

Out of ice already?

Nah, I'm just thinking ahead.

They're drinking like fish out there.

At 11:00 in the morning?

That is quite a party.

It's got promise.

It's got promise.

(music playing, indistinct chatter)

Come on, let's go get a drink.

You sure about that?

Lemonade, Brandon-- I wouldn't want

your friends to think I was a lush.

♪ Lemonade, the cool, refreshing drink... ♪

(people whooping)

On the other hand, even if I got plastered,

I don't think anyone would notice.

(like Elvis): I don't think they would, either, baby.

Cocktails right this way.

A fried bacon and tomato sandwich?

(laughs)

Hey, Silver.

Hey, what's up, Steve, boy?

What's up? Hey, give me a sip of that.

Mmm! You make a hell of a margarita, Dave.

Thanks.

Tell me, my friend, who are those girls?

DAVID: Ooh...

those are my new neighbors,

Nina and Teresa.

Couple of hotties-- aren't you lucky.

(chuckles)

So, uh, why don't you introduce me.

I'll be your slave for life.

Steve, what about Clare?

She'll be your slave, too.

Who are all these people?

I don't know.

They sure look like they're having a good time.

(quietly): That guy is totally smiling at me.

So smile back.

Uh, I have a boyfriend, remember?

So, tell him to smile at me.

Maybe he is smiling at you.

Look at him, right there.

Dick Harrison? You know him.

No, I don't. You don't?

I thought all you brainy types hang out together.

He's a genius-- Phi Beta Kappa, like you.

Hm. I guess I'll have to stop slumming.

Ha-ha-ha!

What, you think he's cute?

Not bad for a genius.

Oh,

he's coming.

Hi. Hey, Donna, how you doing?

Hey, Dick. How are you? Fine, fine, thanks.

Actually, I was hoping you'd introduce me to your friend here.

I'm Dick Harrison.

Hi. I'm Clare Arnold.

Oh, the chancellor's daughter?

Sorry. Oh, no, don't be-- I took your dad's

economics seminar-- he's a riot.

Yeah, in a painfully boring kind of way.

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

(chuckles): Yeah, well, Dick and I

were on InterGreek Council together, so, uh...

Oh, really? What house were you in? Beta Gamma Beta.

Well, nobody's perfect.

(chuckles)

That's the, uh, last line in my favorite film.

Some Like It Hot.

Yeah. I-I'll bet you a drink you can't remember who said it.

Joe E. Brown.

Funniest guy in the '50s.

That's right.

Do you want to dance?

Actually, I'm looking for my boyfriend, so...

Your boyfriend?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Well, nobody's perfect.

(clears throat)

You must be David's neighbor.

Hi. Yeah, I'm Teresa; I live next-door.

I'm Steve. You know, I was just gonna go over

to the bar and get something to drink-- you want something?

Yeah, sure.

Can you do me a favor first?

Sure.

I can't reach my back.

Sure.

How's that?

Perfect.

Some states, you need a license for a massage like this.

Yeah, well, actually,

I have a license on my bedroom wall at home.

(laughs)

That's funny. You're funny.

(chuckles) Excuse me. Are you Steve Sanders?

Hey, Clare. Hi.

Hi. I'm Teresa.

Hi.

It was nice to meet you, Teresa.

You, too, Steve.

You really are funny, you know that?

(chuckles)

Yeah, a regular Conan O'Brien.

Come on.

I don't know why, but I'm giving you a second chance.

Well, you should; I deserve it.

No, you don't.

I do.

Shut up and kiss me anyway.

(moans playfully)

(laughing)

(phone ringing)

(sighs, phone beeps)

Hello.

(chuckles)

Hi. Sounds like I woke you.

You did.

What time is it, anyway?

It's almost noon.

I can't believe I slept that long.

Mmm.

Listen, are you free today?

No. I told you, I have to go to that party.

Will you do me a favor?

Skip it.

I really need to see you this afternoon.

Did you talk to her?

Can we meet at the apartment around 1:00-ish?

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll see you soon.

Okay.

(phone beeps)

(rock music playing, people chattering)

Hey, margaritas anyone?

Ah, hit me again, Waldo.

Open wide, baby.

Ha...!

What about you, darling?

Oh, I don't think so.

It's a little early in the day for that taste in my mouth.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Got a nice bottle of bubbly chilling on the ice for you.

Ooh, thanks.

But I think I'll wait awhile.

All right, just let me know.

Wow, this place is amazing.

Quite the party house, huh?

Yeah.

Me and Mark really get along well, too.

Oh, that's great.

So, um, how's school?

Closed for the weekend.

The iceman cometh. (chuckles)

The iceman throw-eth a good party.

Well, thank you.

It runs in the blood.

Besides, it's our farewell to summer.

Isn't that what Labor Day is for?

Oh, I know. We had a great party. Where were you?

I wasn't invited, thank you.

Well, from now on, you're on that list, okay?

Good.

I'll hold you to it.

I hope you do.

(both chuckle)

TERESA: Someone's in here.

Sorry.

(screams)

What?! What?! What?!

Spider. There's a spider in there.

It's so big.

It was coming right at me.

Don't worry about it.

(chuckles)

Thanks, all right.

I take karate, but I still can't handle spiders.

Well, don't kill it.

No, I'll just send it on

a little ocean voyage, that's all.

(toilet flushes)

You killed it.

Well, it was a black widow, Teresa.

It was a very old spider, too.

I'm sure it led a full life.

How could you tell its age?

Well, I cut one of the limbs off,

counted the growth rings. How else?

Oh.

So you're funny and smart.

Not to mention cute.

You're despicable.

Clare.

Don't even.

No, you don't understand.

Gee, sorry.

(rock music playing, people chattering)

Okay, I think I got it.

Donna went out with David before he went out with Clare,

and then Clare went out with Steve,

and then after Clare, David went out with Valerie,

who lives in your house, but she's not here.

How am I doing?

Perfect.

So, the only one I haven't met is your former ex,

Kelly Taylor.

Or one of your former exes.

She's right over there.

Thanks, man.

(talking quietly)

The one with Mark? She's not with Mark,

she's just talking to Mark.

Conversing casually, you know.

Excuse me.

You're excused.

Come on, let's dance.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I only dance at night and only the Macarena.

Macarena and cheese,

I like mine with a little salsa mixed in. Hey, Brandon.

Hey, Muntz!

How you doing, my man?

Do you know Tracy Gaylian?

Why, yes, I do.

You look even better in real life than on TV.

Ooh, you are silky, my man. Ah, thank you.

Silky! What's the haps?

Well, I thought I'd never get up here.

There's freaking fire trucks everywhere.

Fire trucks?

What's the deal?

There's a fire in the next canyon.

At least there'll be a cool light show, huh?

Man, I think we got a problem. Hey, Mark!

Mark!

I'll be right back.

What? What's up?

Check it out.

Oh, no.

Those hills haven't burned in 40 years.

Is that good or bad?

That's very bad.

40 years of underbrush, that's a ton of kindling.

I think a lot of drunk people

are gonna get real sober, real quick.

(sirens in distance)

(Kenny and Valerie chuckle)

I thought you'd never get here.

Hi, baby.

(chuckles)

There's a fire in the hills, and Sunset's a mess.

Well, you're in a good mood. Yes, I am.

And it's all because of you.

What happened?

We finally talked about it.

Diane and I finally talked about our relationship.

We were up the whole night talking

and really listening to each other

about how it's just not working out.

And you know what's funny?

She's just as miserable as I am.

(chuckles): She wants a change, too.

I really think this is gonna work out

in the best possible way.

Well, of course it could happen, if you want it to.

Oh, you know it is.

(kissing loudly)

Mmm. You smell great.

What is that?

It's Honey Dust.

I sprinkle it on, and you lick it off.

Ooh.

Mmm.

I love it.

Where do you learn all these things?

Well, I'm self-taught.

(laughs)

It's amazing all the things you know that my wife doesn't.

You better believe it.

(moans playfully)

(sirens blaring)

(emergency horn honking)

(indistinct radio chatter)

(men chattering)

(rock music playing, people chattering)

So what'd they say?

They're not evacuating this canyon yet.

Well, my car was one of

the last ones let up the hill.

They're only, uh, letting residents up now.

Listen, before you guys go, can you help me get these people

out of here? I don't want a mob scene.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, no problem. KELLY: Hey.

I don't really want to be in another fire.

Kel, why don't you just take whoever doesn't have

a ride and get out of here, huh?

Okay.

Is she okay?

Yeah, yeah.

She's just got, she's got a thing with fire.

She got caught in one and got burned.

She gonna be all right?

Yeah, yeah, she'll be fine.

All right, let's, uh, let's get to it. Let's go out front.

(helicopter passing)

Oh, God.

I don't feel so good.

I got to lay down.

You okay?

It's not working; I got to sit up.

What's the matter?

(groans)

(inhales sharply)

I just got to lay down.

Maybe you need to throw up.

That's it.

Ew.

All right, everybody, listen up.

I've got some bad news, okay?

Uh, we have to shut the party down because

there's a little fire over in Nichols Canyon,

and the fire department thinks it's best

that everybody goes home, okay?

(crowd groaning)

I know, I know, I know, okay.

All right, you're all gonna have a major

rain check or fire check or something.

But just be careful getting out of here, okay?

And if anybody had too much to drink,

find a designated driver.

Thank you for coming out.

(people murmuring)

MAN: I'll give you a lift, all right?

(groans)

Oh, God.

How long is this gonna last?

I don't know.

How much did you have to drink?

I think I'm all empty.

You know what?

I'm gonna go get you some coffee, okay?

No, don't go.

(groans)

(panting)

I can't believe this house is gonna burn down.

Yep, that's right.

And you're in the toilet.

(toilet flushes)

STEVE: Clare.

Clare, I didn't do anything!

You know what? You're right.

You were totally helpless; you're right.

Why do you always think the worst of me?

Because you've proven me right so many times before.

I didn't do anything.

Listen, Clare, if you need a lift down the hill...

That won't be necessary.

Shut up, Steve.

Thanks. Um, actually, I'm-I'm not leaving yet.

Okay.

Can I call you sometime?

No, you can't.

Sure. Why not?

I'll see you later.

Bye.

(sighs)

Why are you doing this to me?

I love you.

If you haven't noticed, we're in an emergency here, Steve.

You are not an emergency.

(sirens blaring)

(indistinct radio chatter)

(brakes hiss)

FIREMAN: All right, I got the extra line.

I'm gonna hook it up to the source, meet you up top.

(men chattering)

You're blocking me in!

Hey, calm down, man.

Muntz, got ahold of this guy.

Get that car moving!

Make sure everybody has a ride!

You should get out of here, too.

No way. I'm staying.

Oh, I wish we had a camera. (car horn honking)

Just chill, okay!

I'll be back in a second.

(siren blaring)

(emergency horn honking)

KELLY: I can't go through this again.

(alarm beeping, people screaming)

SARAH: Say it with me, Kelly.

BOTH: "Thy kingdom come,

"thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven..."

(Kelly screams)

Help us!

(screaming)

Help us!

(screaming)

(emergency horn honking, siren blaring)

Kelly, are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I ha-have a small problem with fires

in case you don't remember.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure this must be very upsetting....

Save it, Brandon.

You know what, Kel, why don't you just go home

and we'll talk about whatever's bothering you later, okay?

We have nothing to talk about.

Why are you mad at me?

You don't know?

No, I don't know.

The night of the fire, Brandon,

I needed you and you weren't there.

I can't forget that!

I'm not asking you to forget it.

You know, you always thought that I was mad at you

because I thought you were off sleeping with Emily Valentine.

But that wasn't it, it was you!

It was me? You. Uh-huh.

The person I needed most in this world was not there for me.

You know what, Kelly? I've apologized to you

about this until I'm blue in the face.

I can't change it,

can I?! No, you can't.

I gotta go.

Drive safely.

I'll talk to you later.

Kelly?

I thought you were leaving.

I'm trying to.

So what's stopping you?

I'm scared to go, but I'm scared to stay, you know?

Well, I'll make it easy for you.

Move over. I'll drive you home.

You... It's your house.

I know, it's just a house.

You're more important.

You mean that, don't you?

Of course I do.

Go on back. I'll be fine.

Okay.

Hey, you got more hoses?

There's one on the side of the house and two up front.

All right, bro. I got the front.

I'll take the side.

Give me one of those.

Kel, what are you still doing here? Go home.

Brandon, I need to do this, all right?

No, you don't. Get out of here!

Give me the hose. Fine.

(sighs)

(sirens wailing)

Guys, let's go. Let's get a line started

at the top of this ridge.

Chainsaws up front. Let's move it.

Hey, hey, we're losing pressure.

Yeah, here, too.

The fire department must have

every hydrant on the hill going.

We have a sump pump for the pool.

We can switch to that. Yeah, let's do it.

Oh, yeah? All right, I'll get it.

No, stay here. I'll get it.

Does this mean you forgive me?

No, it means you're a hoser.

Who's the owner of this property?

Uh, my father is, but I live here.

Sir, it's my obligation

to inform you that you're in the path of a dangerous fire.

It's the recommendation of the Los Angeles Fire Department

that all residents evacuate immediately.

Well, is there some law against us staying here?

No, sir, it's not,

but could I have the name of your next of kin, please?

Look, this is

your last chance to leave.

We're gonna be running hoses across the street.

Well, I'm sorry, I'm not leaving, okay?

We're staying, sir.

All right, just don't try to be heroes.

We'll cover you the best we can. Be careful. And good luck.

Hey, maybe we should go. This could be a big mistake.

We need more personnel on the line!

(helicopter passes, sirens)

REPORTER: Of all the brushfires that are blazing across the Southland

on this hot, windy day, the one that poses the greatest threat

to expensive homes in the area is in the Hollywood Hills.

Reporter Gail Reichenberg is on the scene. Gail.

We're up on Deronda Drive, Harry,

just a stone's throw from the famous Hollywood sign.

As firefighters combat the encroaching blaze,

courageous area residents stand on rooftops.

They're desperately trying to wet down as much as they can

before sparks fanned by these high winds ignite

their expensive hillside homes.

No structures have burned yet, but the fire department warns

that fires like this are unpredictable.

We've been told that in situations like this

many residents need to go back home, or feel they need

to go back home to retrieve family heirlooms or pets...

Where have you been?

I don't feel so good.

Some help you are.

Shut up, Steve.

Has anybody seen Donna around?

Yeah, she's outside with Clare.

They're having trouble with the sump.

Hey,

can I get you a shot of tequila?

That's very funny.

(Steve laughs)

(engine roaring)

(engines coughs, stops)

The sump's down again.

(coughs)

Mark said there's more gas in the garage.

Okay.

(sirens wail in distance)

(engine catches briefly)

(coughs)

Clare.

Clare, come here!

What?

Look, it's the same deer.

CLARE: So much for good luck.

Poor thing. I wonder where its mother went.

To get a pedicure?

Clare, this isn't funny. I'm worried.

A baby deer out in the woods alone during a fire.

It could get killed.

(coughs) Don, you've seen Bambi too many times.

I'm sure it's fine.

Can you imagine how scared she is out there all alone?

It's an animal. It lives "out there."

No, you don't understand.

No, I guess I don't.

(coughs)

VALERIE: Well, now you look presentable.

Did I get all the Honey Dust off my face?

Yes, you look great.

I wish you didn't have to go back to the office.

It's Saturday.

Don't remind me.

Well, you better go before you're late.

You sound like a wife.

You sure don't kiss like one though.

I love you.

Hmm, I love you.

Don't make any plans tonight, okay?

Why not?

Because we are spending it together.

All night?

All night, baby.

Well, you better hurry home.

I will.

Okay, we're getting a break here.

The wind's shifting out.

Looks like you guys are gonna make it. All right!

Save your water, though.

Clare, kill the pump.

All right, is everybody okay?

Are we all accounted for?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Where's Kelly?

She's inside. I just saw her.

What about Donna?

I don't know.

I haven't seen much of her all day.

Well, that's because she's been playing nursemaid

to the town drunk.

That's very funny, Steve.

Oh, my God.

She was worried about this baby deer down the hill.

Great, Clare. She didn't go after it, did she?

I don't know.

Well, when's the last time you saw her?

Like, a half an hour ago.

That hillside's covered in brush.

It could go up anytime.

Yeah, we should split up and go look for her.

There's a hook and ladder down the street.

I'm gonna go tell 'em we're missing somebody.

Okay, I'm going.

(sirens wailing in distance)

(shrieking)

(grunts)

(coughs)

(coughs)

Now who's more helpless, you or me?

Don't just stand there, scream for help.

Help! Help!

That was effective.

I guess we just have to wait it out.

Hope someone finds us before it gets dark.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Valerie, Valerie, I thought I'd missed you.

I was just picking up some dinner.

Oh. Oh, dinner.

What's going on?

Uh, what?

Well, you sound completely weird.

Yeah, well, I've just been on the phone with my lawyer

for the last hour.

About what?

It's not gonna be as easy as I thought.

So what's that supposed to mean?

Well, it means that her lawyer is on the warpath already,

and my lawyer doesn't want me to do anything foolish.

So that means me?

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

Why are you so angry?

I'm not angry!

Honey, it's just, it's just

not going down the way that I thought.

I mean, I could lose everything.

(door opens)

Excuse me.

You need to sign these here and here.

I just, I wasn't prepared for this.

What did you think was gonna happen?

Certainly not this.

So we're off for tonight, aren't we?

For tonight, unfortunately, yes.

Can you handle that?

No, I can't.

(dial tone)

(sirens wailing, helicopter passes)

(coughing)

Help!

We're down here!

Help us!

Your mother must be worried about you out here

all alone in the hills.

You're gonna be fine, okay?

We're gonna be fine.

Help!

(siren wailing)

Are you sure she just didn't go home?

No, her car's still at the house.

Well, maybe she caught a lift down the hill.

Man, this is all my fault.

I should have been looking out for her.

Hey, hey. Look, all right,

I got some guys working their way

back up the hillside, all right?

If she's on that hill, they'll spot her.

How bad is it down there?

Well, let's just say if the wind shifts, that brush is gonna go.

Plus, that smoke is really thick.

But don't worry, we're gonna find your friend.

Come on, let's go back to the house.

(sighs) I'm never getting drunk again.

I'll hold you to that.

You don't have to.

(coughing): Help!

Somebody help!

FIREFIGHTER: Keep clearing that brush, guys.

Over here! We're down here!

Wait!

Hey, you hear that?

Help!

We hear you!

Just a second! We're coming down!

Help!

(coughing)

This way!

Help! Over here.

Over here, we're over here!

Come on, guys!

Boy, am I glad to see you.

Really glad.

Are you hurt?

What? Oh...

Yeah, my knee, my knee hurts really badly.

What are you doing down here?

The fawn, she lost her mother.

I was just trying to get her out.

Well, what do you say we get you two out of here?

If you just put your arms around my neck

and hold on tight, I'll get you out. Okay.

So, what's your name?

Donna, Donna Martin.

Cliff Yeager.

It's really nice to meet you.

TV ANNOUNCER: Fire crews in the Hollywood Hills

report that the last hotspot is finally under control,

and that cleanup operations are underway.

But these firemen are going to have a very long night.

Thank God it's over.

(door opens, closes)

Any word?

No, they're still looking for her.

They'll find her.

Uh, they, they already did.

REPORTER: Well, Harry, at least one of our

stories today has a happy ending.

This is Donna Martin,

a California University senior,

who risked her own safety

to rescue our very own real life Bambi.

Donna, tell us what happened.

Well, it wasn't really a big deal.

And the truth is,

if anyone deserves the credit, it's him.

He's your local hero.

REPORTER: Excuse me, sir,

what's your name?

Cliff Yeager.

Firefighter Cliff Yeager

and Donna Martin.

Two reluctant heroes

whose selfless actions

under the circumstances point out

the very best instincts in human nature.

I guess some girls will do anything to get a date.

Well, come on, guys. Dinner's on me.

Well, that's the least you could do after we saved

your house from burning, huh?

You got it.

STEVE: Good. I'm hungry.

Hey, Nat!

Kelly? Yeah?

Can I ask you something?

Sure. I know you used to

go out with Brandon

and I was wondering

why you guys broke up.

As far as I can tell, he's perfect.

CLARE: Nobody's perfect.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Quite a night tonight, huh?

I saw Donna on TV. She gonna be all right?

Yeah, yeah, she's fine, David's on his way over

to the hospital to pick her up right now.

So, who's the pretty lady?

Oh, you, I'm sorry.

This is C.U.'s anchorwoman, Tracy.

Tracy, Nat, Nat, Tracy.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

He said I should get the megaburger.

Sure, the first one's always on me.

Just like a drug dealer,

gives you the first one for free,

charges you second for the double-- what?

Oh, my God!

You should have been there, it was awesome!

Fire raged all around us.

It was like the classic battle: Man versus nature.

Good versus evil.

We fought and we won.

Awesome. CLARE: Don't worry.

You'll probably only have to listen to this story

for about two more centuries.

Excuse me, I think five times

is probably enough for me, considering I was there.

Is it me or is she icier than usual?

It's me.

Clare!

Come on, knock it off.

What's the big deal?

All you ever do is screw up and say you're sorry.

This time, you didn't even have the decency to say

you were sorry.

How long are you going to punish me, huh?

I'm sorry, okay?

No, it's not okay.

For months now,

all we ever do is fight and make up, fight and make up.

It's like a game; I'm sick of it.

Are you saying you want to break up?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Hi.

Hi.

Listen, about before...

No, forget it.

No. No, it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, man. Hey, you got any quarters?

I'm playing Kelly's favorite songs.

Oh, boy, here you go.

Thanks.

Listen, uh, just for the record,

I know you and Kelly have a history together

and I just kinda wanted to

clear things with you before...

You want to ask her out.

Well, actually, I already did.

You okay with that?

Absolutely. Kelly's a big girl.

She can make her own decisions.

All right, cool.

Did you miss me?

Yeah, what was that all about?

What, you mean me and Brandon?

No, nothing, it was just some talk.

Just some newsroom stuff, that's all.

Right.

Okay, actually, the truth is,

I told him that we were gonna go out.

Oh, and we need his permission to do that?

That's funny. That's what he said.

Well, Brandon is a smart guy.

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

Do you want to have dinner with me tomorrow night?

Hmm, I don't know.

I'd have to ask Brandon first.

NAT: Brando?

Yeah.

They look kind of chummy, don't they?

So?

25 years ago, I let Joanie slip away.

Don't make the same mistake.

Yeah, yeah, I'll see ya, Nat.

Take it easy.

It's just a sprain.

Yeah, I know.

But I've got a lot to make up to you.

Well, thanks for coming to get me.

I'm just trying to salvage a horrible day.

Well, you're doing a good job now.

There you go.

I just want you to know that, uh,

you can count on me as a friend.

That's sweet of you, David.

Thank you.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Do you want to stay for awhile?

You know what, uh,

will you be okay by yourself?

Yeah, sure.

Great, I got to get going; I need to get some sleep.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

I'm positive.

Good night.

Good night.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Okay.

(knock at door)

Come on in.

Valerie, hi. Hi.

Your secretary said you were working late.

It's Saturday night.

Doesn't Diane mind?

This is not a good time, honey.

Well, it won't take long, I just thought maybe

you should be the first one to know.

Know what? What?

I'm pregnant.

Here's the little test.

It's amazing how simple it is.

Blue if you're pregnant.

Pink if you're not.

You'll notice it's bright blue.

Daddy.
