Original subtitles

DYLAN: You should've seen me and Matt at the pool hall last night.

Wow. A thousand bucks just like that? Sweet.

MATT: Mikey's an ex-client of mine who wouldn't pay.

You know, I've got some dice in my purse.

We could go out back and take some kids for their lunch money.

MATT: The guy was scamming me.

I had to beat him at his own game.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Okay, this one's on Mikey.

Get out of here. All right, I'm getting a coffee to go.

MATT: Excuse me.

You know what? You are a bad influence.

Yeah. Isn't it great?

Are you going to finish those eggs?

Actually, no. I'm late.

Remember, I told you Oksana's in town.

We're going to hang out at her beach house today.

Oksana?

As in Oksana Baiul?

Yeah. We used to train together

after she won the gold

at Lillehammer. See, I was actually, um,

thinking that Matt and I would go back

to the pool hall tonight, you know, and you two could come.

Mm. A double date.

Mm. Mm, me without my poodle skirt.

Look, if Oksana and I don't go

to Cherry, then maybe I'll stop by.

DYLAN: Yeah, right.

(clears throat) She'll be there.

There you go.

Thanks, Nat.

MAN: A little more mud over here?

Sure.

There you go.

Sonny Sharp, the morning DJ.

(laughing)

I can't believe this.

I'm David Silver.

I used to listen to your show every morning

before high school.

Last I heard, you were in, um...

Des Moines.

Des Moines.

When disc jockeys mature, that's where they go.

Right.

So, what are you doing back?

Uh, I've got an afternoon gig at a little station in Riverside.

It's a temporary thing.

A lot of fun.

Your last show that aired...

I skipped three classes just to hear it.

You're one of the reasons I got into radio.

Is somebody paying you?

(laughing): No.

(both laughing)

Listen, I have a... at the club next door.

I do a radio show, you know? It's, like, dance music

and interviews and phone-ins.

It's a lot of fun.

Maybe you'd want to come and do it sometime.

Sure, kid.

How about later on tonight? Maybe around 10:00?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there.

Okay. Great.

Sonny Sharp.

All right. So, I'll s... Okay.

(entry bell rings)

And before you start planning a summer road trip,

for the four of us, I have to tell you,

this is a little weird, you and Matt buddying up.

(laughing) Let me tell you something.

First of all, I don't buddy up, and B) the guy needed a favor.

Still, it's like worlds colliding.

I'll race you to the fallout shelter.

What did I miss?

DONNA: So, we totally sold out

of the satin skirts, and everyone really likes...

Damn it. I've told Olympia 50 times,

"No mini marshmallows in the fruit salad."

I like it that way.

Go ahead. That's wonderful.

And Tish Leventhal wants to give us an exclusive

on her new jewelry line.

Excellent. What's next?

Bologna on white bread for lunch?

Just pick them out, Felice.

Now, let Donna finish, please.

Okay, um, and here's the best part.

Here's the money that you loaned us

for the boutique renovations, plus interest.

And don't tell me you're not taking it,

because Kelly will just write you another check.

Oh, no. I'm taking it. I'll take it.

I may not cash it, but I'll take it.

Honoring obligations.

Keeping business business. I'm very impressed.

Thank you.

It's not possible.

What happened to the little girl

who once put two contacts in the same eye?

Don't remind me.

She's an adult.

Yeah, she is.

What?

Oh, no. Don't tell me it's finally time

to clean out my high-school bedroom, because that's

going to take a while.

DR. MARTIN: No.

It means that you can handle some difficult news.

Your father and I are separating.

Okay, um...

These are going to the shelter,

and I've organized all of your shoes, so...

You've cleaned the beach apartment,

you've balanced your checkbook, and you've washed both our cars.

Yeah, well I'm, I'm worried,

and when I'm worried, I like to...

Organize. Yeah.

I know.

It's just, if I, um, slow down,

I might realize how much this actually hurts.

They've been married for 25 years.

How do you just go and throw that away?

I don't know.

They didn't give you any reasons, huh?

I guess I was too shocked to probe for details.

Look, I'm sorry.

(sighs)

And it's awful to even think this,

but I just know that it's my mother's fault.

She's overbearing and she's bossy.

And back when I was in high school,

I actually caught her having an affair.

I don't even want to think about this.

Look, you got to talk to them.

I'm just afraid of what they might say.

Well, it is magic night at the club tomorrow.

(both laugh)

You can go backstage. You can saw me in half

if it makes you feel better.

Hmm?

Well, as tempting as that sounds...

(sighing): I need to deal with this.

Starting with my mother.

So, the acceptance letter from Harvard came today?

Along with the ones from Yale, Brown and Northwestern.

Wow.

That's in Evanston, Illinois.

What about CU?

Oh, uh... Peter doesn't do state schools.

Berkley's passable, but I'm not in love

with their neuropsych department.

So, what do you think about

this headline for our story?

"The 11-Year-Old Freshman."

Sophomore.

I have AP credits. Oh.

Do you know who the Lakers are?

I'm sorry you have to work with such a dullard.

(chuckles)

Thank you. Bye.

Amazing.

No, it's disgusting.

The kid's not allowed to be a kid.

He's missing out on all the fun.

Peter is a kid. He's just special.

And you're just jealous. Jealous?

I could whup that kid in any video game I wanted.

Dullard.

It's with a "D."

Gina? K.T. Liss. Right.

Oksana's assistant. You're late.

And you're an assistant.

(laughing) Where's Oksana?

Rehearsing in Montreal.

She's sorry she couldn't be here.

You know how crazy those shows can get.

Yeah, I have a vague recollection.

Anyway, thanks in advance for doing this.

My first vacation in three years.

You ever been to South Beach?

Yeah. It's humid.

Great for the skin. So, here's the deal.

No guests.

You can sleep in the house,

but you've got to bring your own sheets.

Water the plants on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Feed the fish every night.

Uh, Mercedes: strictly off-limits,

unless, of course, there's an emergency.

Then the keys are in the kitchen.

Um, I'm not leaving till day after tomorrow,

so I will check in

and make sure all the gears are greased.

Thanks again.

Okay, now, let's be really clear about this.

I'm doing this as a favor to Oksana.

And it's so sweet of you.

Do not treat me like an employee!

Well, technically, you are.

SONNY: I remember this.

Up all night. Dancing like crazy.

Right.

Hey, that reminds me,

did you ever have any problems sleeping

because of ringing in your ears?

What? Joking.

(laughs)

Remind me to bring in a better screen for that mic.

You're popping all over the place.

Okay, people, I would really love

to thank my partner in crime this evening,

Mr. Sonny Sharp, for being here.

Thank you, sir.

My pleasure.

Do you have any brilliant parting words of wisdom

for our young audience out there?

Uh... 'fraid I don't have any.

Okay. Uh, well... (laughs)

Anyone that remembers Sonny's shows from years past,

knows that he ended each one with this.

(flips switch)

Sonny, come back any time.

♪ Somewhere there's a girl who I could love... ♪

Take it easy, Kel.

Tequila shot and a beer, please.

What, were you practicing sit spins?

I was getting ready to get a new partner.

How about a little girls against boys?

Looks like we're back in business.

Just like last night?

You jerked us around. We want our money back.

Come on. I mean, what did your mother tell you

about being such sore losers?

She told us to kill the winners.

How do you feel about that?

Uh... He likes it.

(glass breaking) Hey, Mikey.

(women shrieking)

(punches landing, man groans)

(fists smacking, man grunting)

(glass shattering)

Good.

(punches landing, man grunting)

DAVID: So, Sonny, I was thinking of coming down to Riverside.

You know, seeing how you do what you do, if that's cool.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Cool. (knocking)

Rick.

Hey, uh, Sonny, this is, this is Rick Miller.

This is my station manager.

Hear that?

It's the sound of radio dials

being switched all over the city.

And I don't want to speak

for the After Dark, but I'm sure they don't appreciate

having an empty dance floor.

Look the song was my idea.

Then I suggest you get back to your bingo game.

And you'd better start playing some music from this decade.

Now!

A real fun guy.

Look, I...

I... I gotta go.

Son...

You want my coleslaw? Hmm.

Your father always asks me that.

Well, he's already found an apartment.

He wants to take the leather couches

from the den.

The ones I picked out.

Mom, don't fight over couches.

He'd just better realize I'm not giving up the club membership.

Thank you.

Do you know how selfish you sound?

God, it's always about you.

Don't talk to me like that.

Do you remember that time

that I caught you in the Bel Age with that man?

Donna, I've heard enough.

No, I, I never asked you what was wrong with your marriage.

You and Dad just fixed the problem.

Ever since then, every fight that you two have,

every argument you...

What? I'm to blame for this?

Well, you put the first nail in the coffin.

And you call me selfish?

Well, maybe it's because

I'm in this marriage all by myself.

You know, for the last two months,

my husband has completely shut me out.

He won't talk to me.

He comes home from the office late.

Your father wants this separation.

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, so am I.

But if your goal in this whole mess is to point fingers,

I think you need to start with your father.

I'm gonna go.

Mom...

STEVE: It's like two pages. If you increase the margins,

it should fit, right? Yeah.

Okay, so we can do it. Hi.

Hi. Hi.

A small token of Peter's gratitude.

Oh, it's a calendar. How nice.

Whoa, not just a calendar, a Peter calendar.

How useful. We just so appreciate

that article you wrote about him.

It's led to a virtual media onslaught.

Beating them back with a stick, are you?

Actually, they're still on Peter's tail.

Right now, he's doing an interview for the local news.

Oh, that's wonderful. Obviously, the masses

want to learn about special people like Peter.

Oh, speaking of learning, uh...

Ooh, do you know anything about this magic show?

Oh, yeah, actually a couple of our friends are running it.

Peter saw this ad, and he just begged to go.

It's a shame, because I have plans tonight.

See, magic is such a challenging brain teaser for Peter.

Well, really they're not such good friends of ours, and...

JANET: But we'd love to take him.

So, um, just drop him by like around 5:00.

Thank you.

Peter will be so excited.

Bye.

(door opens)

Hi. Sweetheart, I-I was...

Yeah, just moving out. I can see.

New car?

Yeah, yeah. I've really always wanted a convertible.

It's nice.

That's funny, 'cause I could've sworn you told me

convertibles were dangerous.

I guess I've changed my mind.

Noah, would you help me with those boxes over there, please?

No, no, we're not helping him walk out on this family.

I'd better go.

I hope that you're off to get some help.

Could you excuse us, please?

Sure.

You care to explain that little outburst?

Are you talking to someone about this?

Because Mom and I-- we're completely in the dark here.

Dad, what's going on?

You got a new car, a new apartment.

Is there a new girlfriend, too?

Look, I know this is tearing you apart.

I know that you need some kind of explanation.

Yeah, that's right.

I don't have one. I'm sorry.

That's not good enough.

It's all I've got.

That's the price you guys pay for defending the honor of...

What were they defending last night?

KELLY: Pool hustling. Easy.

They were defending the honor of pool hustling.

Oh, that's right, but they can't help it,

'cause, you know, when you're a Jet...

So how long do you have Oksana's car?

Oh, as long as I want.

Wow, I had no idea you guys were so close.

Oh, yeah, after the Olympics, you know,

we trained together

and our coach was so intense

and we got really close.

Oh.

So you two are really friends, huh?

Is that a tough concept for you?

For some reason?

No, no.

What, you need proof?

Well... Huh?

You guys should come over to the house tomorrow.

Oksana has this really beautiful pool

that overlooks the ocean.

Oh, in that case, we need proof.

Yeah.

MATT: So what should I do, should I try to get us a table or...?

Actually I already have us one up front there.

You know, ownership has its privileges.

This is Oksana's Red Arowana. (gasps)

And he's dead,

because someone failed to follow explicit instructions.

What is she talking about?

I just missed one little feeding.

It couldn't have starved to death.

I don't want to hear it.

Now I have to cancel my vacation.

Well, it's a fish. I'll just buy her a new one.

It cost $3,000!

Oksana gave you this job as a favor.

She felt sorry for you,

tanking your career so early.

Why don't we just take this outside?

That Mercedes better be back in the garage

by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Oh, P.S.

I put a stop payment on your check.

Tell me, Gina,

are you mediocre at everything you do,

or is the list complete at house-sitting and skating?

What are you looking at?

Father Ledley, when Donna told me her plans

to take over the first grade Sunday school class,

I was so proud.

I didn't know Donna wanted to teach Sunday school.

I kind of made that up.

You lied?

Yeah. And that's why I would be

such a very bad influence on the kids.

Donna, what's going on?

Well, it's just you and Dad seem

so unwilling to talk about your problems.

And I just figured

that if there was an objective third party there,

someone that you guys trusted, that maybe...

I'm so embarrassed.

Father... Don't be.

Felice, I've counseled couples for years.

You know that.

Well, I'm-- of course I'm willing to try,

but I just don't think that John would agree to it.

(doorbell ringing)

That's probably Dad now. What?!

Well, yeah, when I called earlier to apologize to him,

I told him that I need help hooking up my new stereo.

And you don't have a new stereo.

When I'm done with these two,

you and I are going to have a little talk about deceit, Donna.

Yes, Father.

Hi.

So, where's the ster...

Hello, John.

What is this?

Dad, you and Mom need to talk.

Ambushed by my own daughter.

That's right, leave.

It seems to be your new specialty.

Very nice, Felice. That's good!

I asked you to respect my privacy,

not to violate it.

STEVE: Can you show us this one, Dr. Van Fertle?

Ah, the Box of Death.

STEVE: Box of Death, ooh.

His assistant slips into the top half.

A string operates the fake leg.

Next.

Yeah, okay kid. (chuckling)

You leave it alone or you'll be pulling

rabbit droppings out of your hair for weeks.

So you're also a hypnotist?

Yeah, oh, of course.

A person can't be hypnotized if they don't want to be.

Contrary to popular belief,

the mind is quite resistant to suggestion.

Is it?

Watch carefully as I count backwards from ten.

As I count, you will become more and more relaxed.

You will hear nothing but the sound

of my voice. Ten...

We gotta get this kid out of here. What? Why?

The show hasn't even started yet.

STEVE: But there might not be one if little Mensa boy

exposes any more of Van Fertle's tricks.

...three... Fine.

...two... one.

You are completely relaxed.

JANET: Hey, Peter,

are you ready to go?

Yeah.

Scat. You're nothing but a dumb kid.

Hey! Watch it, Van Fertle.

Was the kid right about the Box of Death?

Uh, sorry.

Hey, thanks for coming.

I never miss a chance for a free beer.

What's up?

I just wanted to apologize for yesterday.

My station manager Rick can be a little rude sometimes.

Don't worry about it.

It's radio.

Listen, I didn't know how else to find you

so I went down to that station in Riverside.

They told me that

you're not a deejay there.

Well, it was just a one-time guest shot.

I thought I told you about that.

Actually, they said you worked there full-time

as the music librarian.

Well, there you have it.

What's going on, man?

You're Sonny Sharp.

You're emperor of the Airwaves.

Yeah, I was, kid.

Not anymore.

Now all my best stuff

is said and done.

I'm a has-been.

I don't think so.

When you hear something enough,

you start to believe it.

GINA: Um, I think I'm gonna go.

Gina, that was the nastiest woman I have ever seen.

Don't let her ruin your night.

It's too late. No. Come on.

We were just starting to have fun.

I want you to stay.

Yeah. I don't want to walk home.

Fine.

I'm going to...

go help Matt with the drinks.

All right. Welcome to Magic Night.

Are you all ready to be amazed?

(cheering)

Then allow me to present Dr. Van Fertle,

Master of Illusion.

(whistles)

(laughter)

Okay, there was supposed to be a lot of smoke and...

Anyway, I'm Vincent Van Fertle, doctor of prestidigitation.

(laughter)

Okay. (clears throat)

As...

(clattering, horn honking)

(laughing)

For my first trick, um, the amazing...

disappearing flowers!

Uh, there should have been a bottom of this...

Oh, poor guy.

Hey, I'm gonna need a volunteer.

Uh, young lady would... would you please help me?

Hmm... No.

Please.

(applause) WOMAN: All right!

(Dylan whistling)

WOMAN: Yeah! VAN FERTLE: All right.

I'm now going to show you the power of suggestion.

I'm going to hypnotize you.

But, uh, don't worry, I won't make you

do anything embarrassing. Well, not too embarrassing.

WOMAN: Yeah, right.

Okay, um, let's start with some really deep breaths.

(both breathing deeply)

Okay, now... (clears throat)

VAN FERTLE: Watch the watch. I'm going to count

backwards from ten.

As I do, you will become more and more relaxed.

You will hear nothing but the sound of my voice.

Hey, I'm here to help.

You know, there's nothing wrong with a job like house-sitting.

Not unless you used to train alongside the homeowner.

I used to be ranked above Oksana.

Now I'm fluffing her towels.

Life isn't a competition, Gina.

You know, you shouldn't...

You shouldn't focus on other people.

Yeah?

Why do I always feel like I'm losing, then?

DR. VAN FERTLE: What is your name?

Kelly Taylor.

Oh, God. (laughing)

Let's get to the table.

Kelly Taylor, uh, may I ask you to cluck like a chicken?

(clucking)

(laughter)

Okay, chickie.

I'm going to ask you a few questions,

and you will not be able to lie.

Have you ever lied on your taxes?

No.

I said you have to tell the truth.

Uh, you're a very beautiful woman, Kelly,

and I bet you have a lot of suitors.

If you had to be stuck

on a desert island with one of them,

who would that be?

Dylan McKay.

Well, he's a very lucky man.

Uh, I'm now going to count

backwards from five, and when I do,

you will awake and you will be refreshed

and happy and you will remember nothing.

Five, four, three, two, one.

(snaps fingers) Uh...

Intermission.

(applause)

Oh, thanks for the martini.

Yeah.

KELLY: What's wrong?

What did he make me do?

Nothing. Just tell the truth.

(overlapping chatter)

Matt, let... Just let me explain, okay?

You just got up on stage and said you'd want

to be trapped on a desert island with Dylan.

What is there to explain?

He was the last person I saw on my way up to the stage.

I mean, come on. You can't take this seriously.

I guess tonight, I feel like being a serious guy.

Gina, Gina, Gina!

What? Five minutes ago,

Kelly was my new best friend.

Fake bitch.

Just cool it, all right?

Listen, Gina, I wanted to...

WOMAN: Hey, what's going on?

You all right?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Mrs. Foley said that, um,

Peter's going to go on the Charlie Rose Show,

and she invited us to tag along.

Yeah, well, when he's the center square,

that's when I'll be impressed.

Till then, if he keeps this up,

he's going to have an ulcer by the time he's 12.

You don't know that.

I know his childhood is being stolen.

I don't like that.

This is boring.

I want to go to Burger World.

They have a playland.

Peter, what's gotten into you?

Burger World. Burger World!

Peter, what's the square root of 647?

What's a square root?

Oh my God, the hypnotist.

He told Peter that he was just a dumb kid.

So?

So, now he's acting like a normal 11-year-old!

We broke him.

Oh, no. Do you know what that means?

(chanting): Burger World.

Burger World!

PETER AND STEVE: Burger World! Burger World!

Burger World! Burger World!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!

That's just perfect.

(grunting)

Okay.

Are you okay?

Uh... yeah.

I just must have picked up a nail.

It's just a flat tire. I mean, I could handle it.

That's okay, really. I'm just gonna...

I'll tell you what.

I'm supposed to meet a friend at Lola's in a couple minutes.

Why don't I fix your car, you can give me a lift,

and, uh, we can have a drink

toasting the kindness of strangers?

What do you say?

Look, I'm sorry.

It's, it's not that I don't appreciate this,

'cause I...

I really actually do. It's just that my...

Get in the car!

(screams)

(kicks) (groans)

(screaming)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's wrong?

Someone just attacked me with a knife.

What? Right over there.

Call the police.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

He was right over there by the car!

Wait a second. Slow down. What happened?

Someone just attacked me.

There's nobody down here!

He was right over by the car.

Maybe he jumped the wall.

GINA: I don't know.

Maybe he's a magician, too.

The parking lot's empty.

I don't understand.

I do. When your boyfriend didn't chase after you,

you counted to ten and started screaming.

Are you calling me a liar?

Wouldn't be the first time tonight, Gina.

You know, I was going to wait for my cab

out here, but on second thought...

I...

You guys got to check this place out.

Oh, get out of here.

I've always wanted to try one of these things.

All right. (knocking)

20 bucks says you cannot make yourself disappear, man.

Twenty?

Easy money.

Okay.

Make sure it stays secure.

You got it? Yep.

(rattling)

(laughing nervously)

I can't, uh... I can't find the latch.

The, uh... the song's

almost over, so just unlock the door for me, okay?

No, no. Not till you cough the cash, man. Sorry.

No, it's very funny. Come on. Open the door.

Okay.

(pounding on lock)

Oh, man. "Oh, man"?

Dude, it's locked. I can't open it.

If there's dead air, I'm screwed.

We could string a mic cord.

No. Sonny, you got to, you got to cover for me.

Oh, no can do, kid.

Let me go find that magician.

There's no time.

No one wants to hear my voice anymore.

Your listeners will never forgive you.

They'll love you, okay? I promise.

Okay. It's your pink slip.

(door opens)

Is he gone? Yep.

Violà!

My lovely assistant Noah.

SONNY (over the air): Good evening, Beverly Hills.

I'm Sonny Sharp and I'm back.

Nice work, my friend.

Good deal. Mm-hmm.

All right.

DONNA: My parents are breaking my heart.

Do you think their marriage is over?

I don't know.

I just don't understand

how two people who have shared so much suddenly can't connect.

I've seen it happen more than once.

Nothing makes sense to me anymore.

I'll second that.

So, what really happened last night?

I told you, the magician was horrible,

and it was just like...

And were you really hypnotized? This is me you're talking to.

Yes. I mean, I think so.

I don't remember choosing Dylan over Matt,

and I have no idea why I would do that.

Well, maybe because that's how you really feel.

(club striking ball)

Not bad.

Mind if I join in?

I didn't know you were a golfer.

From time to time.

Donna send you?

NOAH: No.

I came on my own.

That's nice. That's very nice.

Thank you.

Look, Dr. Martin...

Yeah?

Um, I was just wondering if, um...

Noah, is there something I can help you with?

I was just wondering

why you're throwing your whole life away.

I mean, I watched my own dad do the same thing.

I'm still trying to figure out why.

Next to those two trees,

you can just make out the eighth hole.

Right there, two months ago,

my friend Hugh Shapelle just keeled over.

Heart attack. 52 years old.

Heart attack.

He was dead before his knees even hit... hit the green.

I'm sorry. And you add to that

the stroke I had a couple years ago,

and I started to think about all the things that I planned to do

when I retired,

but never did.

A separation somehow is gonna fix all that?

I asked Felice

to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with me.

She said that her collapsed arches

really wouldn't be able to handle it.

So I suggested maybe we should take some skydiving lessons.

All she could talk about was motion sickness.

If you try explain it to her...

How can I do that?

It's not her fault. I've changed.

She hasn't.

I can't expect her to be a new person overnight.

I mean, you haven't even asked her.

Well, Felice doesn't really bend very well.

How can she

when she doesn't even know what you're going through?

(knocking)

I just read in the paper that they caught a guy

who has been forcing women into their cars at knifepoint.

He raped four women in the last two weeks.

I almost lost you.

You did.

I just got off the phone with Dr. Van Fertle.

He said he's gonna meet us

in half an hour to reverse the hypnosis.

Okay, just give me five more minutes with him.

Mrs. Foley thinks that we're at the Van Gogh exhibit.

And if we take care of this now, she'll never know what happened.

I'm making inroads here.

Inroads?

Steve, this kid could find a cure to cancer

or write the next great symphony.

Those are all things he can do when he's older, Janet.

Yeah, but not if you keep meddling.

I mean, at this rate, his IQ is diminishing

faster than a Brazilian rainforest.

Why's it so important to you?

Because I used to be like Peter.

Well, not quite as smart,

but I had really big plans for myself,

and somehow, I just got sidetracked.

He shouldn't have any regrets.

And neither should you.

Hey, you're the editor of a very successful newspaper.

You're a great person.

You're the best girlfriend a guy could have.

Janet, one thing I know for sure, at the end of the day,

happiness matters.

And Peter needs to learn that.

He's terrible.

Yeah, but he won you a pair of wax lips.

Aw... Well, I picked them out.

You know, if you divide the density of the ball

by the circumference of your windup,

I think you can maximize your score.

What'd you say?

Uh, I mean...

can I have a corn dog?

Hey, did you know this thing has one-touch dialing?

It's a triple fudge brownie.

Kind of a pastry peace offering.

Hmm.

Look, Matt,

I'm sorry about last night.

So you said.

Some feedback would be nice here.

What do you want me to do, Kelly?

You want me, you want me to throw a fit?

You want me to ask you to leave? You want me to punch something?

I'm not going to.

Anybody else would get upset.

Well, you're not dating anyone else, you're dating me.

Look, we're not married.

I don't own you.

If you want to go, then go.

I'll be fine.

The only claim I have on you is that I love you.

I love you, too.

I know that.

So what do we do now?

I may need a little time.

Time. Okay.

Okay...

time's up.

Let's go, the movie is gonna start in 15 minutes.

Maybe it'll be a comedy.

Yeah.

Mom, you okay?

Everything just...

just seems so out of control.

(sobbing)

I wake up every morning, thinking

this just can't be happening, but it is.

Come on. And then I think

maybe you're right, but what did I say?

What did I do? Nothing.

You're not responsible for my unhappiness.

I needed to talk.

I should've made it easier for you to listen.

So why now?

Because someone made me realize

how really important it is

to make this work.

We need help. And I called Father Ledley.

And we're his first appointment next week.

So, you think we can give this a try?

Okay.

Hi.

Well, I know you're not here to help me with this.

Lose the attitude, Gina.

Spit it out, Kelly.

Look, I'm here to apologize, okay?

For last night, for the... hypnotist,

for not believing you were attacked.

For not being able to shake my boyfriend?

Never mind.

Well, at least you're honest.

No one else in this town seems to have that trait.

Especially the guys.

This was supposed to be mine.

The car, the glamorous life, all of it.

Life takes unexpected turns.

Yeah, I know.

You're never gonna be happy until you let it go.

Can you do that?

Can you promise me you'll let Dylan go?

I promise.

(car door closes)

(car engine starts)

Peter, were you or were you not hypnotized?

Well, a conflux of sunspots

and the current orbit of Neptune may have...

Peter.

I was faking.

Hey, it's okay. You can tell her.

Because I don't want to go to college.

Not yet, at least.

Well, honey, why didn't you just say so in the first place?

PETER: I didn't want to disappoint you.

And then when I saw how much fun

Steve has every day...

I do have fun. Fun is key.

Well, then college will have to wait.

Yeah but Magic Mountain can't.

Did you know that the probability of being killed

on a rollercoaster is one in 70 million?

No, I didn't know that. (laughter)

As promised.

You know, you didn't have to do this.

You gave me a chance to do what I love,

and I'm grateful.

It was brief, but thanks. (knocking)

Rick, uh...

(nervous chuckle)

About last night...

The station was flooded with calls.

It was an emergency.

And everyone wanted to know how we got you back.

So guess what, you're back.

I believe the last time we chatted,

I was late for a bingo game.

Oh, it's, it's radio. It's all forgiven.

Now, look, I've talked to the higher-ups.

We want to broaden our audience base,

you know, nab some of the older listeners.

You'll fit right into our lunchtime slot.

So?

So sign me up.

Make sure the kid gets a finder's fee.

Thanks.

Thanks, man.

What do you want?

Look, I'm... I'm tired of pissed-off people.

Mm, lucky for you, I've cooled down.

Really?

I talked to Kelly.

(groans)

It helped, shockingly. (sighs)

So...

So?

Does this visit include... an apology?

Yeah.

That doesn't count, Dylan.

All right.

I am sorry.

That wasn't so bad.

I'm sorry, too.
