Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s02e06 Episode Script
Pass, Not Pass
Brenda, we have to choose a scene.
What about a scene from Annie Hall? I look good in hats.
It takes a certain person to look good in a hat.
Well, you've got Diane Keaton's hat, but I'm not playing Woody Allen just because I wear glasses.
Well, I don't see you making any other suggestions.
Brenda, you're Mr.
Suiter's pet.
I have never performed in this class before.
I have to do well in order to pass.
What makes you think I'm his pet? It's just obvious.
- What is? - That he likes you.
- You think so? - I just said it, okay? Now, can we please- Please can we choose a scene? You really think he likes me? Brenda, he's a teacher.
Andrea, consider the possibilities.
He's creative, he's articulate, he's intelligent, and he looks pretty good in faded jeans.
Brenda, he's our teacher.
Not for long.
Summer school gets out next week.
You know, I think it's starting to get dark earlier.
- It is not.
You're just totally paranoid.
- No, I'm not.
Everywhere I go, there are back-to-school sales.
Look, I don't wanna hear it, okay? - What's that? - It's nothing.
- What is that? - It's no big deal.
I just start to get a little eczema when Labour Day looms on the horizon.
Summer's about over, isn't it? So, what can I get for you two crazy kids, huh? How about a gin and tonic, crushed ice, twist of lime? - Nice try, guy.
- Well, it's official.
The end of summer luau is next weekend.
Yeah, pretty soon I'll be fighting over a parking spot at West Beverly.
No, we'll be fighting over parking spots.
I've almost got enough for my 'Stang.
That '65 'Stang? Supremely yellow in mint condition.
And this should put you over the top.
I'm so there.
You know, when I got my '57 Bird, I became my own man.
When you are cruising in your dream car, it's a whole new road out there.
Yeah, my road.
- I'll see you, guys.
- All right, man.
Stop it.
I know, my- I know, my dear.
I know, my dear.
I know, my- Oh, I know, my dear.
I know- No.
- I know- - Andrea Zuckerman, browsing in a bookstore.
Mr.
Suiter doing the same.
You know, it seems a little unfair that I can call you Andrea but you can't call me Chris.
Student-teacher dynamics, I guess.
Let's say we change our dynamics, right here and now.
We'll have our own private revolution, Andrea.
Okay, Chris.
The entire car has been completely detailed and rechromed.
It's got the original paint, the original leather seats, the original radio.
But how does she run, son? Well, the guy at the lot said she purrs like a kitten and runs like a cheetah.
Sounds pretty good.
How about if I go into work a little late this morning? We can pick her up together.
Oh, I don't wanna put you out, Dad.
It would be a father-son adventure.
I still have to swing by the bank and pick up the cashier's cheque - before I can go pick it up, so it- - Cashier's cheque? Brandon, if they don't trust a personal cheque from you, I wouldn't be too confident about trusting them.
Hey, Dad, this isn't Minnesota.
Besides, what's the big deal? Simon's been holding the car all summer.
- Brandon- - And since I'm buying it with my own money that I worked very hard for, I think it'll be cool.
I hope so.
Good morning.
Oh, while you were in the shower, Hawaii called.
Thanks, Mom.
Dylan McKay calls from Hawaii, and Brenda doesn't scream at you for not dragging her out of the shower? Poor Dylan.
I guess it's out of sight, out of mind.
Listen, Dad, about the car, I- I think it's just something I ought to do on my own, all right? Yeah, I understand.
It's about these two women and their dynamics together.
How their lives intersected, their relationships with men.
I don't wanna intersect.
I wanna do a comedy.
But you've done comedy before.
Brenda, this will allow you to stretch as an actress.
Besides, Mr.
Suiter suggested it.
He did? Well, why don't we try it out and we'll see how it goes? - Hi.
- Hi.
You know, the scene from The Turning Point was really a terrific idea.
I was already thinking of taking a risk on a dynamic character piece.
Can you keep a secret? - Is it about me? - Yes.
Then most definitely.
I intentionally paired you up with Andrea because, well, I think you can help her open up a bit.
Well, I'm flattered.
No, you're talented.
Thanks.
Outstanding.
- You care for a nut? - No, thanks.
That's a real wise decision.
Them things been in there since 1987.
Well, sir.
I think you're gonna like this baby.
- I already do.
- Yes, sir.
You know, when the first of summer rolls around and all the kids come in checking out a car of this calibre, I think, "No, they ain't gonna come back.
" There was something different about you.
I said to myself: "Simon, this young man is gonna be back.
" Well, I sure had to pick up a lot of empty margarita glasses and haul around a lot of sweaty towels for all those zeros.
Tubular.
- Get that yellow thing out there- - Excuse me.
Put something else out there where that yellow one is, all right? Get it right this time.
How you doing, son? What can I do for you? You can give me my money back.
Now, why in the world would I want to do a thing like that? Because that car you sold me is, at this moment, blocking traffic on Sunset Boulevard.
I couldn't even pull it over.
See, this is a problem of semantics here.
The key is in the wording.
"That car I sold you.
" That's your problem now, son.
- Give me my cheque.
- I ain't got it.
- Get it.
- I can't do that.
I mean, I'd like to.
You're a good kid.
I like you.
- I'd like to help you.
My hands are tied.
- Well, untie them.
Here's the deal, kid.
You bought that car.
Now, if you say you are experiencing some difficulties with it, then by all means, get that sucker into a good mechanic just as soon as you can.
But that car was in prime condition when it left the lot.
I know because I checked it out myself.
Okay, Brandon, what's the bottom line here? The engine has to be completely overhauled.
You know, all I've heard about for the past three months is how gorgeous this car looks.
Everything completely restored, but next to nothing about how it runs.
At least now I understand why.
I know, I can't believe it either.
What about the warranty? No warranty.
This is great.
Did you even bother to look under the hood at all? - Yeah, but- - But what? I can't believe these guys make their living by completely ripping people off.
- I knew I should have gone with you.
- Yeah, well, you didn't.
Where is the car now? Brandon.
It's in the impound lot in the San Gabriel Valley.
Oh, of course.
That's a perfectly logical place for it to wind up.
- Jim.
- How, pray tell, did it manage to end up there? Well, when I went back to the used-car lot to complain, a tow truck from the sheriff's department just happened to be cruising by and How much is it going to cost to get it released? - Two hundred and fifty dollars.
- Oh, no.
How could you throw away all of your money? This isn't your problem.
This is my problem.
- I'll deal with it, all right? - Yes, you will deal with it.
But there's a lesson here, Brandon, and it's in Latin: Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.
Oh, excuse me.
So, what can I get you today? How about two eggs over-easy, rye toast.
Anything to drink? - Just water.
- Ice? - Sure.
- Crushed or cubes? Whatever.
- Hey, Brandon.
- Nat.
- It's been a long time.
- Yeah.
- How's it going? - It's going- It could be better.
It could always be better.
Yeah, I guess it could.
Place looks great.
Yeah, it will if they ever finish it.
- So how's business? - It's booming.
Good.
So how's the new girl working out? Here you go.
Eggs over-easy with rye toast.
- Need I say more? - I think she's pretty much on top of it.
Yeah, Courtney's a straight-A student from Beverly Hills High.
I really lucked out finding her.
On such short notice.
- Take it easy.
- Yeah.
Could you pass me the sports page, man? - Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
- Great place, huh? - Yeah, I used to work here.
Oh, yeah? I've been in town all summer and I just discovered it last week.
They got this Mexican burger here with jalapenos and avocados.
Man, you can't get anything like that in Chicago.
- You're from Chicago? - Yeah.
Why is it that nobody in L.
A.
is actually from L.
A.
? I don't know.
I could see myself moving out here someday.
Skiing is two hours away.
The desert's two hours away.
The grocery store is two hours away in rush-hour traffic.
Yeah, the traffic is wretched.
Well, I don't have to worry about that anymore now that I don't have a car.
- I'm gonna be late for class.
- You go to UCLA? No, I'm teaching drama over at West Beverly High.
You're kidding me.
My sister's taking that this summer, Brenda Walsh.
- Brenda Walsh is your sister? - Twin sister.
- No way.
- Yeah.
- What a small world.
- Small? Beverly Hills is miniature.
- Brenda Walsh's twin, huh? - Yeah.
You know, she really has an amazing dramatic presence.
She just blows me away.
- Chris Suiter.
- Brandon Walsh, obviously.
Nice meeting you.
And say hi to Brenda.
You too.
All right, I will.
- Anything else? - No, thanks.
You know, if I enter stage left, then I could cross to you for the slap.
Why? What's your emotional motivation? - I don't know.
Let me check my notes.
- No, Andrea, use emotion from your own life and transfer it into your character.
But I'm not a washed-up ballet dancer.
Okay, okay.
Just say your line, when I go to hit you, jerk your head to the side, and it'll look like we connected.
- But not hard, right? - Andrea, if the timing's right, - we won't even make contact.
- Well, if it isn't the thespians.
Trying to be.
Oh, hey, I ran into your drama coach at the Pit today.
Chris hangs out at the Peach Pit? I thought his name was Mr.
Suiter.
- Whatever.
- Yeah, he eats there all the time.
He had some nice things to say about you.
Like what? Like your head will get too big if I clue you in.
You better tell me later.
I told you you were teacher's pet.
Well, it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
I'll cross to you because I'm jealous.
That's the answer.
Jealous.
Hi.
- Andrea, what are you doing here? - I don't know.
Suddenly, I got this intense craving for one of Nat's chilli cheeseburgers.
Hey, Courtney, let me have a tamale special.
You got it.
What is this, the Walsh family hangout? I ran into your brother here this morning.
- Really? - Yeah.
You know, I was just about to order if you'd like to join me.
Us.
Okay, I'd love to.
So how's the scene coming? - Fine.
- Fine.
Okay, okay, this doesn't have to be a business lunch.
Have you tried the cappuccino shakes? - They are incredible.
- Well, you know, I used to work here.
I even created my own original milkshake: Laverne's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
Well, I have to try it sometime.
If you want a phenomenal milkshake, there's this place on Hollywood Boulevard called C.
C.
Brown's.
That's the oldest in Hollywood.
Been there since the '20s.
I've been in L.
A.
all summer and I've yet to really see the sights.
If you want a personal guided tour, I'd be happy to take you this afternoon.
Well, that'd be great.
I'd love a tour from two authentic California girls.
Two? Do you know my brother has the exact same shoe size as Paul Newman? Figures he would.
Oh, they have the best popcorn here.
With real butter, not that imitation stuff.
The architects Meyer and Holler designed the Chinese Theatre as a shrine to Hollywood in 1927.
Melrose is a happening street.
It's totally L.
A.
, talk about trendy.
Melrose only started taking off when the real estate on Rodeo Drive - got too expensive.
- That's interesting.
That's the building they show on the opening credits of L.
A.
Law.
Andrea, I'm sure Chris has better things to do than sit in front of the TV every Thursday night.
Actually, L.
A.
Law is my favourite show.
- Mine too.
- Mine too.
Is this the La Brea Tar Pits? Oh, yeah, and those are some tourists who got lost during the Pleistocene era.
I don't think I could have had a better tour.
Everything about it was just great, especially the company.
- Thank you, ladies.
- Oh, you're very welcome.
Our pleasure.
So which one of you lives the closest? - She does.
- She does.
Oh, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon.
My mother's coming back from Europe.
Kelly's got her rash again, and the luau's coming up.
All signs indicate that the summer's over - and I've barely touched a babe.
- That's rough, man.
Maybe I'd do better next summer if I got a job at the beach club.
I don't think the world's ready for that, Steve.
I can't believe I blew all my money on that damn car.
I don't know why your father won't just pay to have it released from the impound lot.
Because he gets off on seeing me squirm.
It's all right though, I don't need his help.
I just need a new job.
How about going back to the Peach Pit? Never happen.
Not with Courtney the bionic waitress on the job.
Welcome home, Bren.
Yo, Bren, what's with you? I'm so mortified, I can't even call Kel.
Oh, well, this is big time.
It doesn't even matter anymore.
I mean, the verdict is in.
He dropped me off first.
Not only first, but before Andrea Zuckerman.
What are you talking about? Chris.
Can't you follow along? Well, what about Chris? I like him, but it doesn't matter because- Whoa, Brenda.
I hate to break this to you, but he's your teacher.
Not for long.
Look, I don't even wanna get into this.
He's moving back to Chicago, he's too old for you, and it's totally unethical for you to date him.
Tell that to Andrea.
This place used to be nothing but orange trees until after World War ll, when all the Gls who served in the Pacific front started migrating west en masse.
Back then, you could get a lot for practically nothing, and the Gl Bill paid for most of the construction costs.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I just- - I tend to go off on tangents- - No, no, no.
It's great, it's great.
You're great.
I think that Brenda and I have most of our scene down.
You know, I'm still a little bit nervous, but I think we can really get- Andrea, I don't wanna talk about school right now, okay? Okay.
I Well This is kind of a difficult situation for me tonight.
- What is? - Well Tomorrow's our last day of class, right? - Yeah.
- And I was kind of hoping that I could talk you into having a cup of coffee with me tomorrow night.
Just you and me? Just you and me.
I'd like that, sure.
Yeah? Okay.
- Good night.
- Bye.
Brenda.
Brenda, I am so terrified about this scene.
Don't worry about it.
Brenda, I It's really weird, but Chris is so not what I expected.
What happened to Mr.
Suiter? Oh, well, I I had a really great time last night.
Oh, is that before or after you dumped me off? Hey, look, really, I didn't mean to invade your territory.
It's just, he's so smart, you know, and genuinely interested in the things that I have to say.
Look, Andrea, that's great- Maybe it's because he's older, but he gets me in a different way than any of the kids at West Beverly do.
- Andrea- - But the thing is, until last night, I didn't even realise I had these feelings for him at all.
Andrea, that's good, and I'm really happy for you.
But we do have a scene to do, and if you don't mind, I would like to run some lines if that's okay with you? - Okay.
- Okay.
I am sick to death of your jealousy and resentment.
I loved him.
So much that you said to hell with your career? Yes.
You can lie to yourself, DeeDee, but not me.
You got married because you knew you were second-rate.
You got pregnant because Wayne was a ballet dancer and that meant queer.
- He wasn't.
- Still afraid someone will think he is? You were terrified then.
You had to prove he was a man.
That's why you had Emilia.
- That's a lie.
- No, that's the truth.
You saddled Wayne with a baby and you blew his career.
But now Emilia's all grown up.
And she's a better dancer than you ever were, and you're jealous.
You're certifiable.
You'll use anything as an excuse.
- And what's that an excuse for? - Trying to take away my child.
I return the compliment.
You are a liar.
You're a user.
You have been your whole life.
Me, Michael, pretending to love him.
And now Emilia.
I'm better for her than you are.
The hell you are.
Brenda.
Brenda? That is not how we rehearsed the slap.
- Oh, no? - You know damn well it wasn't.
I guess I just got too involved in my character.
That is so lame.
There was something else behind that slap and you know it.
Sense-memory work? And what is that memory based on? Oh, quick learner.
I think you know, teacher's pet.
This is perfect.
I confide in you, share my feelings, something I never do, and you completely turn on me.
Yeah, well, who confided in who first? I said I was sorry, Brenda.
I had no idea that he was interested in me as anything more than a pupil with stage fright.
Yeah, well, now we know differently, don't we? Look, Brenda, you can't steal something from someone that they don't have in the first place.
You know, all school year, I listened to you rattling on and on about your feelings for my brother.
This has nothing to do with Brandon.
You're right.
It has to do with you and me.
Not anymore.
Oh, hi, honey, how'd your scene go today? I don't wanna talk about it.
Oh, that good, huh? Actually, we got a standing ovation.
That's terrific.
And I was a supreme bitch.
Brenda? Well, Mom, I was.
I was petty, I was mean.
I've never been more glad to see a summer come to an end.
If that's Kel, I don't wanna see anyone.
Not anyone? Aloha.
I was hoping it would be you.
- Did you miss me? - Yes.
I missed you.
- Hey.
- Oh, Dylan.
Mahalo means thank you.
Oh, Dylan, you didn't have to do anything.
Well, when I was in Maui, I got to thinking about how great you guys were for me this summer.
And I wanted to do something to say thank you.
Well, mahalo to you, Dylan.
These flowers just smell incredible.
Mahalo, sir.
It's good to have you back, Dylan.
Oh, two points.
- Easy shot.
- Yeah, right.
You've probably been practising all summer.
How's it going? What's happening with the '65 'Stang? You don't wanna know.
Don't tell me somebody bought it.
- No such luck.
- Jim.
Who else would spend thousands of dollars on a used car and never even bother to test-drive it? Thanks, Dad.
Maybe we can have it towed into the backyard, use it as a planter.
Don't you think Brandon feels bad enough about that car fiasco without you constantly rubbing it in? He was absolutely ass-backward irresponsible with the purchase of that car.
And you won't let him forget it.
I think you better ask yourself why you're being so hard on him.
Because he wouldn't listen to me.
I don't believe that, and neither do you.
- Wait a minute, I got a better one.
- Okay.
It's The Taming of the Shrew, right? And I'm running around on-stage in this one-piece 17th-century tights thing.
Oh, I would've loved to have seen it.
Anyway, everyone's backstage giggling because they thought it'd be great - if they poured honey down the back.
- No.
Yes.
So I'm out there reciting Shakespeare with honey stuck to my butt.
You know, you're really easy to talk to.
Well, I love your stories.
What I love is the way you listen to them.
You're really beautiful, Andrea.
I What? - Nothing.
- No, no, no.
Go on, say it.
Tell me.
Come on.
When you smile, you get this funny little crinkle thing around your eyes, and I can't believe I just said that.
It's because I'm very old.
And very wise.
And about to do something very stupid.
No, we can't.
I- We shouldn't do this.
- I'm sorry, I- - Of course, the first totally engaging girl I meet in Los Angeles turns out to be my student.
Ex-student.
If you were just five years older, or if I was five years younger Oh, Chris, I wish you weren't leaving.
Well, you still have me for two more days and two more nights.
Can I see you again? Give me a second.
Hey, Nat.
Hey, Brandon.
I've seen you more this week than I have all summer.
- So, what can I get you? Your usual? - You remember my usual? - I'm flattered.
- Don't be.
Who could forget charred burger with bacon, fried eggs, onions and relish? - Hold the mayo.
- Don't insult me.
Hey, isn't today the big day for the luau at the Beverly Hills Beach Club? Shouldn't you be slicing pineapples or something? Yeah, it's my last day there.
I just came by to see what was going on, you know, see how you're doing.
Nothing much changes around here.
That new girl, she got the job pretty wired, huh? Courtney? Yeah, I couldn't ask for any more.
Is she better than I was? Not better, different.
Listen, Nat, this is gonna sound kind of lame, but you think there's any way I could get my old job back? Gee, I don't know, Brandon.
Courtney's really terrific when it comes to punctuality - Hey, I was always on time.
- and job commitment.
She wouldn't race out of here without notice if another career opportunity headed her way.
Nat, I'm sorry, but I explained that to you already.
I had to go earn big tips this summer.
I had to buy a car.
So where's the car? It's a long story.
Well, since Courtney's going away to college next week, I guess I'm gonna need to hire someone.
How long have you known about this? A while.
But I guess I can give you a trial run.
And you left me hanging all that time? Yeah.
Welcome home, Brandon.
Well, that's got it.
You know, this summer would've been so righteous if I hadn't blown everything on that lemon.
Well, at least I got to work with you, Henry.
Work for me.
I'm gonna miss you, man.
Look, don't get maudlin on me now.
We don't want your mascara to start running.
You're a funny guy.
Brandon, there's somebody here to see you in the parking lot.
Thanks, Kel.
Thanks for this summer, Henry.
You're not gonna get rid of me that easy now.
- You can call.
- I know when to reach you too.
Between 11 and 12, when The Young and the Restless is on.
Don't even try it.
See you, buddy.
What's my car doing here? You mean your newly rebuilt classic 289 V-8? I can't believe this.
You- You worked hard all summer.
Your mother and I thought you deserved something to show for it.
I'm sorry, Dad.
- For what? - For screwing up at the used-car lot.
I mean, I wanted this to be my major move towards independence.
And I guess I was too proud to admit I could've used your help on it.
If you would've asked for help, I probably would've chewed your head off.
The truth is, after you totalled Mondale, part of me was afraid to let you drive again.
But I told you, Dad, I don't drink anymore.
I know.
But it took me a long time to be sure.
And now you're sure? Enjoy the car, Brandon.
You've earned it.
Too bad you'll be driving around in such a bogus set of wheels, buddy.
Yeah, a car like this and you might just have to take me out.
Hey, don't get crazy.
Hey, why don't we take a drive up the coast before luau starts, huh? I'm so there.
Oh, why don't you go ahead and sit in the front, Steve? - Sit in the back.
- Thanks, Dad.
Yeah.
- Baby.
- Bye.
Don't stay out too late.
Let's ride.
Yeah, mule.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I thought you'd forgotten me.
- Never.
Well, come on in.
My mom went to the movies with my sister and a friend.
And Oh, why don't you sit down? And my father's playing poker, so it looks like we're all alone.
If that's all right with you.
Guess what.
I'm staying in Los Angeles.
You are? That's great.
Yeah, I got a job teaching at the Winston School for Girls.
That's supposed to be the best private school in all of Los Angeles.
That's what I hear.
So when are you going to Chicago to get your stuff? My girlfriend's bringing it out with her.
- Your what? - Look, I wanted to mention it, but- Andrea.
Trust, truth and risk.
That is all you talked about this summer.
Yeah, and you can't tell me you haven't implemented those things into your life, right? You have a clever way of just twisting things around, don't you? Andrea, it's my job to make you feel safe so that you can learn and grow.
I wanted to gain your trust by painting a picture of who you wanted me to be.
If it meant leaving out pieces of my personal life, well, I'm sorry.
But you can't say I didn't do my job.
Funny me.
I thought what we had was personal.
Look, Andrea, if you were five years older- If I were just five years older, you would still be cheating on your girlfriend.
Andrea, you're an incredible girl.
I wish you could know that as well as I do.
But you're in high school, and I'm a teacher.
And we just can't do this.
That's not what you said last night, was it? Look, I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake, okay? I let my guard down, and it wasn't professional.
Yeah, and it wasn't fair either.
Besides my friend Brandon, you are the only guy I've ever let my- Andrea I think you'd better go Mr.
Suiter.
Oh, we're going to a hukilau A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau Everybody loves a hukilau Where the laulau is the kau kau At the big luau We throw our net out into the sea Come on, what is this? The gathering place of the truly unsociable, huh? - Pull up a chair.
- Hey, come on, you guys.
If I can make a fool of myself out there, so can you.
Come on.
That's because they pay you to be a squeef.
Not anymore, buddy.
Yeah, congratulations on your new car.
Thanks, Donna.
Hey, you wanna do a little hukilau? - Oh, I don't know.
- Come on.
- You guys are weak.
- Come on, Brandon.
Let's go do the hukilau.
Robbing the cradle there, Bran.
Well, at least Lindsey will dance with me.
Come on.
loves the hukilau Where the laulau is the kau kau At the big luau We throw the net out into the sea And all the ama ama Come swimming to me So how does this compare to a true authentic Hawaiian luau? Like I went to any when I was over there.
What did you do most nights? Hung out in my mom's freaky tree house and dreamed of you.
- Right.
- It's true.
Dylan, this thing that we have is so confusing.
It doesn't have to be.
I mean, when we're together, it's great, but- What? Do you wanna be a free agent? While you were gone, I went after another guy, an older guy.
And? And I'm glad you're back.
- Isn't that Andrea Zuckerman? - Where? Andrea.
Hi.
I tried to call you at the house, but your mom said that you and Brandon had come here to the beach.
You've been crying.
I've been having a bad night.
Why? - Look, about the slap, I- - Me too, huh? You're not the one who should be apologising.
It's me.
I'm the one who was completely envious of your Whatever it is with Chris.
Was with Chris.
Did you go out with him? - Did you? - No.
Chris Suiter isn't who you think he is, Brenda.
Well, at least he's going back to Chicago.
No, he isn't.
He's He's staying in Los Angeles, and he's bringing his girlfriend out.
- That two-faced- - Brenda, look.
Let's just make a pact that we will never let a man get between us again, okay? Especially a teacher.
Hey, what are you crying for? Oh, I just really need to be with people tonight.
Well, then you came to the right place, no? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Party, this way.
Plenty of men to go around.
Oh, we're going to a hukilau A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau Everybody loves a hukilau Where the laulau is the kau kau At the big luau We throw our net out into the sea And all the ama ama Come swimming to me Oh, we're going to the hukilau A huki, huki, huki, hukilau What a wonderful day for fishing The old Hawaiian way The hukilau nets are swishing Down in old Laie Bay Oh, we're going to the hukilau
What about a scene from Annie Hall? I look good in hats.
It takes a certain person to look good in a hat.
Well, you've got Diane Keaton's hat, but I'm not playing Woody Allen just because I wear glasses.
Well, I don't see you making any other suggestions.
Brenda, you're Mr.
Suiter's pet.
I have never performed in this class before.
I have to do well in order to pass.
What makes you think I'm his pet? It's just obvious.
- What is? - That he likes you.
- You think so? - I just said it, okay? Now, can we please- Please can we choose a scene? You really think he likes me? Brenda, he's a teacher.
Andrea, consider the possibilities.
He's creative, he's articulate, he's intelligent, and he looks pretty good in faded jeans.
Brenda, he's our teacher.
Not for long.
Summer school gets out next week.
You know, I think it's starting to get dark earlier.
- It is not.
You're just totally paranoid.
- No, I'm not.
Everywhere I go, there are back-to-school sales.
Look, I don't wanna hear it, okay? - What's that? - It's nothing.
- What is that? - It's no big deal.
I just start to get a little eczema when Labour Day looms on the horizon.
Summer's about over, isn't it? So, what can I get for you two crazy kids, huh? How about a gin and tonic, crushed ice, twist of lime? - Nice try, guy.
- Well, it's official.
The end of summer luau is next weekend.
Yeah, pretty soon I'll be fighting over a parking spot at West Beverly.
No, we'll be fighting over parking spots.
I've almost got enough for my 'Stang.
That '65 'Stang? Supremely yellow in mint condition.
And this should put you over the top.
I'm so there.
You know, when I got my '57 Bird, I became my own man.
When you are cruising in your dream car, it's a whole new road out there.
Yeah, my road.
- I'll see you, guys.
- All right, man.
Stop it.
I know, my- I know, my dear.
I know, my dear.
I know, my- Oh, I know, my dear.
I know- No.
- I know- - Andrea Zuckerman, browsing in a bookstore.
Mr.
Suiter doing the same.
You know, it seems a little unfair that I can call you Andrea but you can't call me Chris.
Student-teacher dynamics, I guess.
Let's say we change our dynamics, right here and now.
We'll have our own private revolution, Andrea.
Okay, Chris.
The entire car has been completely detailed and rechromed.
It's got the original paint, the original leather seats, the original radio.
But how does she run, son? Well, the guy at the lot said she purrs like a kitten and runs like a cheetah.
Sounds pretty good.
How about if I go into work a little late this morning? We can pick her up together.
Oh, I don't wanna put you out, Dad.
It would be a father-son adventure.
I still have to swing by the bank and pick up the cashier's cheque - before I can go pick it up, so it- - Cashier's cheque? Brandon, if they don't trust a personal cheque from you, I wouldn't be too confident about trusting them.
Hey, Dad, this isn't Minnesota.
Besides, what's the big deal? Simon's been holding the car all summer.
- Brandon- - And since I'm buying it with my own money that I worked very hard for, I think it'll be cool.
I hope so.
Good morning.
Oh, while you were in the shower, Hawaii called.
Thanks, Mom.
Dylan McKay calls from Hawaii, and Brenda doesn't scream at you for not dragging her out of the shower? Poor Dylan.
I guess it's out of sight, out of mind.
Listen, Dad, about the car, I- I think it's just something I ought to do on my own, all right? Yeah, I understand.
It's about these two women and their dynamics together.
How their lives intersected, their relationships with men.
I don't wanna intersect.
I wanna do a comedy.
But you've done comedy before.
Brenda, this will allow you to stretch as an actress.
Besides, Mr.
Suiter suggested it.
He did? Well, why don't we try it out and we'll see how it goes? - Hi.
- Hi.
You know, the scene from The Turning Point was really a terrific idea.
I was already thinking of taking a risk on a dynamic character piece.
Can you keep a secret? - Is it about me? - Yes.
Then most definitely.
I intentionally paired you up with Andrea because, well, I think you can help her open up a bit.
Well, I'm flattered.
No, you're talented.
Thanks.
Outstanding.
- You care for a nut? - No, thanks.
That's a real wise decision.
Them things been in there since 1987.
Well, sir.
I think you're gonna like this baby.
- I already do.
- Yes, sir.
You know, when the first of summer rolls around and all the kids come in checking out a car of this calibre, I think, "No, they ain't gonna come back.
" There was something different about you.
I said to myself: "Simon, this young man is gonna be back.
" Well, I sure had to pick up a lot of empty margarita glasses and haul around a lot of sweaty towels for all those zeros.
Tubular.
- Get that yellow thing out there- - Excuse me.
Put something else out there where that yellow one is, all right? Get it right this time.
How you doing, son? What can I do for you? You can give me my money back.
Now, why in the world would I want to do a thing like that? Because that car you sold me is, at this moment, blocking traffic on Sunset Boulevard.
I couldn't even pull it over.
See, this is a problem of semantics here.
The key is in the wording.
"That car I sold you.
" That's your problem now, son.
- Give me my cheque.
- I ain't got it.
- Get it.
- I can't do that.
I mean, I'd like to.
You're a good kid.
I like you.
- I'd like to help you.
My hands are tied.
- Well, untie them.
Here's the deal, kid.
You bought that car.
Now, if you say you are experiencing some difficulties with it, then by all means, get that sucker into a good mechanic just as soon as you can.
But that car was in prime condition when it left the lot.
I know because I checked it out myself.
Okay, Brandon, what's the bottom line here? The engine has to be completely overhauled.
You know, all I've heard about for the past three months is how gorgeous this car looks.
Everything completely restored, but next to nothing about how it runs.
At least now I understand why.
I know, I can't believe it either.
What about the warranty? No warranty.
This is great.
Did you even bother to look under the hood at all? - Yeah, but- - But what? I can't believe these guys make their living by completely ripping people off.
- I knew I should have gone with you.
- Yeah, well, you didn't.
Where is the car now? Brandon.
It's in the impound lot in the San Gabriel Valley.
Oh, of course.
That's a perfectly logical place for it to wind up.
- Jim.
- How, pray tell, did it manage to end up there? Well, when I went back to the used-car lot to complain, a tow truck from the sheriff's department just happened to be cruising by and How much is it going to cost to get it released? - Two hundred and fifty dollars.
- Oh, no.
How could you throw away all of your money? This isn't your problem.
This is my problem.
- I'll deal with it, all right? - Yes, you will deal with it.
But there's a lesson here, Brandon, and it's in Latin: Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.
Oh, excuse me.
So, what can I get you today? How about two eggs over-easy, rye toast.
Anything to drink? - Just water.
- Ice? - Sure.
- Crushed or cubes? Whatever.
- Hey, Brandon.
- Nat.
- It's been a long time.
- Yeah.
- How's it going? - It's going- It could be better.
It could always be better.
Yeah, I guess it could.
Place looks great.
Yeah, it will if they ever finish it.
- So how's business? - It's booming.
Good.
So how's the new girl working out? Here you go.
Eggs over-easy with rye toast.
- Need I say more? - I think she's pretty much on top of it.
Yeah, Courtney's a straight-A student from Beverly Hills High.
I really lucked out finding her.
On such short notice.
- Take it easy.
- Yeah.
Could you pass me the sports page, man? - Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
- Great place, huh? - Yeah, I used to work here.
Oh, yeah? I've been in town all summer and I just discovered it last week.
They got this Mexican burger here with jalapenos and avocados.
Man, you can't get anything like that in Chicago.
- You're from Chicago? - Yeah.
Why is it that nobody in L.
A.
is actually from L.
A.
? I don't know.
I could see myself moving out here someday.
Skiing is two hours away.
The desert's two hours away.
The grocery store is two hours away in rush-hour traffic.
Yeah, the traffic is wretched.
Well, I don't have to worry about that anymore now that I don't have a car.
- I'm gonna be late for class.
- You go to UCLA? No, I'm teaching drama over at West Beverly High.
You're kidding me.
My sister's taking that this summer, Brenda Walsh.
- Brenda Walsh is your sister? - Twin sister.
- No way.
- Yeah.
- What a small world.
- Small? Beverly Hills is miniature.
- Brenda Walsh's twin, huh? - Yeah.
You know, she really has an amazing dramatic presence.
She just blows me away.
- Chris Suiter.
- Brandon Walsh, obviously.
Nice meeting you.
And say hi to Brenda.
You too.
All right, I will.
- Anything else? - No, thanks.
You know, if I enter stage left, then I could cross to you for the slap.
Why? What's your emotional motivation? - I don't know.
Let me check my notes.
- No, Andrea, use emotion from your own life and transfer it into your character.
But I'm not a washed-up ballet dancer.
Okay, okay.
Just say your line, when I go to hit you, jerk your head to the side, and it'll look like we connected.
- But not hard, right? - Andrea, if the timing's right, - we won't even make contact.
- Well, if it isn't the thespians.
Trying to be.
Oh, hey, I ran into your drama coach at the Pit today.
Chris hangs out at the Peach Pit? I thought his name was Mr.
Suiter.
- Whatever.
- Yeah, he eats there all the time.
He had some nice things to say about you.
Like what? Like your head will get too big if I clue you in.
You better tell me later.
I told you you were teacher's pet.
Well, it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
I'll cross to you because I'm jealous.
That's the answer.
Jealous.
Hi.
- Andrea, what are you doing here? - I don't know.
Suddenly, I got this intense craving for one of Nat's chilli cheeseburgers.
Hey, Courtney, let me have a tamale special.
You got it.
What is this, the Walsh family hangout? I ran into your brother here this morning.
- Really? - Yeah.
You know, I was just about to order if you'd like to join me.
Us.
Okay, I'd love to.
So how's the scene coming? - Fine.
- Fine.
Okay, okay, this doesn't have to be a business lunch.
Have you tried the cappuccino shakes? - They are incredible.
- Well, you know, I used to work here.
I even created my own original milkshake: Laverne's Shake, Rattle and Roll.
Well, I have to try it sometime.
If you want a phenomenal milkshake, there's this place on Hollywood Boulevard called C.
C.
Brown's.
That's the oldest in Hollywood.
Been there since the '20s.
I've been in L.
A.
all summer and I've yet to really see the sights.
If you want a personal guided tour, I'd be happy to take you this afternoon.
Well, that'd be great.
I'd love a tour from two authentic California girls.
Two? Do you know my brother has the exact same shoe size as Paul Newman? Figures he would.
Oh, they have the best popcorn here.
With real butter, not that imitation stuff.
The architects Meyer and Holler designed the Chinese Theatre as a shrine to Hollywood in 1927.
Melrose is a happening street.
It's totally L.
A.
, talk about trendy.
Melrose only started taking off when the real estate on Rodeo Drive - got too expensive.
- That's interesting.
That's the building they show on the opening credits of L.
A.
Law.
Andrea, I'm sure Chris has better things to do than sit in front of the TV every Thursday night.
Actually, L.
A.
Law is my favourite show.
- Mine too.
- Mine too.
Is this the La Brea Tar Pits? Oh, yeah, and those are some tourists who got lost during the Pleistocene era.
I don't think I could have had a better tour.
Everything about it was just great, especially the company.
- Thank you, ladies.
- Oh, you're very welcome.
Our pleasure.
So which one of you lives the closest? - She does.
- She does.
Oh, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon.
My mother's coming back from Europe.
Kelly's got her rash again, and the luau's coming up.
All signs indicate that the summer's over - and I've barely touched a babe.
- That's rough, man.
Maybe I'd do better next summer if I got a job at the beach club.
I don't think the world's ready for that, Steve.
I can't believe I blew all my money on that damn car.
I don't know why your father won't just pay to have it released from the impound lot.
Because he gets off on seeing me squirm.
It's all right though, I don't need his help.
I just need a new job.
How about going back to the Peach Pit? Never happen.
Not with Courtney the bionic waitress on the job.
Welcome home, Bren.
Yo, Bren, what's with you? I'm so mortified, I can't even call Kel.
Oh, well, this is big time.
It doesn't even matter anymore.
I mean, the verdict is in.
He dropped me off first.
Not only first, but before Andrea Zuckerman.
What are you talking about? Chris.
Can't you follow along? Well, what about Chris? I like him, but it doesn't matter because- Whoa, Brenda.
I hate to break this to you, but he's your teacher.
Not for long.
Look, I don't even wanna get into this.
He's moving back to Chicago, he's too old for you, and it's totally unethical for you to date him.
Tell that to Andrea.
This place used to be nothing but orange trees until after World War ll, when all the Gls who served in the Pacific front started migrating west en masse.
Back then, you could get a lot for practically nothing, and the Gl Bill paid for most of the construction costs.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I just- - I tend to go off on tangents- - No, no, no.
It's great, it's great.
You're great.
I think that Brenda and I have most of our scene down.
You know, I'm still a little bit nervous, but I think we can really get- Andrea, I don't wanna talk about school right now, okay? Okay.
I Well This is kind of a difficult situation for me tonight.
- What is? - Well Tomorrow's our last day of class, right? - Yeah.
- And I was kind of hoping that I could talk you into having a cup of coffee with me tomorrow night.
Just you and me? Just you and me.
I'd like that, sure.
Yeah? Okay.
- Good night.
- Bye.
Brenda.
Brenda, I am so terrified about this scene.
Don't worry about it.
Brenda, I It's really weird, but Chris is so not what I expected.
What happened to Mr.
Suiter? Oh, well, I I had a really great time last night.
Oh, is that before or after you dumped me off? Hey, look, really, I didn't mean to invade your territory.
It's just, he's so smart, you know, and genuinely interested in the things that I have to say.
Look, Andrea, that's great- Maybe it's because he's older, but he gets me in a different way than any of the kids at West Beverly do.
- Andrea- - But the thing is, until last night, I didn't even realise I had these feelings for him at all.
Andrea, that's good, and I'm really happy for you.
But we do have a scene to do, and if you don't mind, I would like to run some lines if that's okay with you? - Okay.
- Okay.
I am sick to death of your jealousy and resentment.
I loved him.
So much that you said to hell with your career? Yes.
You can lie to yourself, DeeDee, but not me.
You got married because you knew you were second-rate.
You got pregnant because Wayne was a ballet dancer and that meant queer.
- He wasn't.
- Still afraid someone will think he is? You were terrified then.
You had to prove he was a man.
That's why you had Emilia.
- That's a lie.
- No, that's the truth.
You saddled Wayne with a baby and you blew his career.
But now Emilia's all grown up.
And she's a better dancer than you ever were, and you're jealous.
You're certifiable.
You'll use anything as an excuse.
- And what's that an excuse for? - Trying to take away my child.
I return the compliment.
You are a liar.
You're a user.
You have been your whole life.
Me, Michael, pretending to love him.
And now Emilia.
I'm better for her than you are.
The hell you are.
Brenda.
Brenda? That is not how we rehearsed the slap.
- Oh, no? - You know damn well it wasn't.
I guess I just got too involved in my character.
That is so lame.
There was something else behind that slap and you know it.
Sense-memory work? And what is that memory based on? Oh, quick learner.
I think you know, teacher's pet.
This is perfect.
I confide in you, share my feelings, something I never do, and you completely turn on me.
Yeah, well, who confided in who first? I said I was sorry, Brenda.
I had no idea that he was interested in me as anything more than a pupil with stage fright.
Yeah, well, now we know differently, don't we? Look, Brenda, you can't steal something from someone that they don't have in the first place.
You know, all school year, I listened to you rattling on and on about your feelings for my brother.
This has nothing to do with Brandon.
You're right.
It has to do with you and me.
Not anymore.
Oh, hi, honey, how'd your scene go today? I don't wanna talk about it.
Oh, that good, huh? Actually, we got a standing ovation.
That's terrific.
And I was a supreme bitch.
Brenda? Well, Mom, I was.
I was petty, I was mean.
I've never been more glad to see a summer come to an end.
If that's Kel, I don't wanna see anyone.
Not anyone? Aloha.
I was hoping it would be you.
- Did you miss me? - Yes.
I missed you.
- Hey.
- Oh, Dylan.
Mahalo means thank you.
Oh, Dylan, you didn't have to do anything.
Well, when I was in Maui, I got to thinking about how great you guys were for me this summer.
And I wanted to do something to say thank you.
Well, mahalo to you, Dylan.
These flowers just smell incredible.
Mahalo, sir.
It's good to have you back, Dylan.
Oh, two points.
- Easy shot.
- Yeah, right.
You've probably been practising all summer.
How's it going? What's happening with the '65 'Stang? You don't wanna know.
Don't tell me somebody bought it.
- No such luck.
- Jim.
Who else would spend thousands of dollars on a used car and never even bother to test-drive it? Thanks, Dad.
Maybe we can have it towed into the backyard, use it as a planter.
Don't you think Brandon feels bad enough about that car fiasco without you constantly rubbing it in? He was absolutely ass-backward irresponsible with the purchase of that car.
And you won't let him forget it.
I think you better ask yourself why you're being so hard on him.
Because he wouldn't listen to me.
I don't believe that, and neither do you.
- Wait a minute, I got a better one.
- Okay.
It's The Taming of the Shrew, right? And I'm running around on-stage in this one-piece 17th-century tights thing.
Oh, I would've loved to have seen it.
Anyway, everyone's backstage giggling because they thought it'd be great - if they poured honey down the back.
- No.
Yes.
So I'm out there reciting Shakespeare with honey stuck to my butt.
You know, you're really easy to talk to.
Well, I love your stories.
What I love is the way you listen to them.
You're really beautiful, Andrea.
I What? - Nothing.
- No, no, no.
Go on, say it.
Tell me.
Come on.
When you smile, you get this funny little crinkle thing around your eyes, and I can't believe I just said that.
It's because I'm very old.
And very wise.
And about to do something very stupid.
No, we can't.
I- We shouldn't do this.
- I'm sorry, I- - Of course, the first totally engaging girl I meet in Los Angeles turns out to be my student.
Ex-student.
If you were just five years older, or if I was five years younger Oh, Chris, I wish you weren't leaving.
Well, you still have me for two more days and two more nights.
Can I see you again? Give me a second.
Hey, Nat.
Hey, Brandon.
I've seen you more this week than I have all summer.
- So, what can I get you? Your usual? - You remember my usual? - I'm flattered.
- Don't be.
Who could forget charred burger with bacon, fried eggs, onions and relish? - Hold the mayo.
- Don't insult me.
Hey, isn't today the big day for the luau at the Beverly Hills Beach Club? Shouldn't you be slicing pineapples or something? Yeah, it's my last day there.
I just came by to see what was going on, you know, see how you're doing.
Nothing much changes around here.
That new girl, she got the job pretty wired, huh? Courtney? Yeah, I couldn't ask for any more.
Is she better than I was? Not better, different.
Listen, Nat, this is gonna sound kind of lame, but you think there's any way I could get my old job back? Gee, I don't know, Brandon.
Courtney's really terrific when it comes to punctuality - Hey, I was always on time.
- and job commitment.
She wouldn't race out of here without notice if another career opportunity headed her way.
Nat, I'm sorry, but I explained that to you already.
I had to go earn big tips this summer.
I had to buy a car.
So where's the car? It's a long story.
Well, since Courtney's going away to college next week, I guess I'm gonna need to hire someone.
How long have you known about this? A while.
But I guess I can give you a trial run.
And you left me hanging all that time? Yeah.
Welcome home, Brandon.
Well, that's got it.
You know, this summer would've been so righteous if I hadn't blown everything on that lemon.
Well, at least I got to work with you, Henry.
Work for me.
I'm gonna miss you, man.
Look, don't get maudlin on me now.
We don't want your mascara to start running.
You're a funny guy.
Brandon, there's somebody here to see you in the parking lot.
Thanks, Kel.
Thanks for this summer, Henry.
You're not gonna get rid of me that easy now.
- You can call.
- I know when to reach you too.
Between 11 and 12, when The Young and the Restless is on.
Don't even try it.
See you, buddy.
What's my car doing here? You mean your newly rebuilt classic 289 V-8? I can't believe this.
You- You worked hard all summer.
Your mother and I thought you deserved something to show for it.
I'm sorry, Dad.
- For what? - For screwing up at the used-car lot.
I mean, I wanted this to be my major move towards independence.
And I guess I was too proud to admit I could've used your help on it.
If you would've asked for help, I probably would've chewed your head off.
The truth is, after you totalled Mondale, part of me was afraid to let you drive again.
But I told you, Dad, I don't drink anymore.
I know.
But it took me a long time to be sure.
And now you're sure? Enjoy the car, Brandon.
You've earned it.
Too bad you'll be driving around in such a bogus set of wheels, buddy.
Yeah, a car like this and you might just have to take me out.
Hey, don't get crazy.
Hey, why don't we take a drive up the coast before luau starts, huh? I'm so there.
Oh, why don't you go ahead and sit in the front, Steve? - Sit in the back.
- Thanks, Dad.
Yeah.
- Baby.
- Bye.
Don't stay out too late.
Let's ride.
Yeah, mule.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I thought you'd forgotten me.
- Never.
Well, come on in.
My mom went to the movies with my sister and a friend.
And Oh, why don't you sit down? And my father's playing poker, so it looks like we're all alone.
If that's all right with you.
Guess what.
I'm staying in Los Angeles.
You are? That's great.
Yeah, I got a job teaching at the Winston School for Girls.
That's supposed to be the best private school in all of Los Angeles.
That's what I hear.
So when are you going to Chicago to get your stuff? My girlfriend's bringing it out with her.
- Your what? - Look, I wanted to mention it, but- Andrea.
Trust, truth and risk.
That is all you talked about this summer.
Yeah, and you can't tell me you haven't implemented those things into your life, right? You have a clever way of just twisting things around, don't you? Andrea, it's my job to make you feel safe so that you can learn and grow.
I wanted to gain your trust by painting a picture of who you wanted me to be.
If it meant leaving out pieces of my personal life, well, I'm sorry.
But you can't say I didn't do my job.
Funny me.
I thought what we had was personal.
Look, Andrea, if you were five years older- If I were just five years older, you would still be cheating on your girlfriend.
Andrea, you're an incredible girl.
I wish you could know that as well as I do.
But you're in high school, and I'm a teacher.
And we just can't do this.
That's not what you said last night, was it? Look, I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake, okay? I let my guard down, and it wasn't professional.
Yeah, and it wasn't fair either.
Besides my friend Brandon, you are the only guy I've ever let my- Andrea I think you'd better go Mr.
Suiter.
Oh, we're going to a hukilau A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau Everybody loves a hukilau Where the laulau is the kau kau At the big luau We throw our net out into the sea Come on, what is this? The gathering place of the truly unsociable, huh? - Pull up a chair.
- Hey, come on, you guys.
If I can make a fool of myself out there, so can you.
Come on.
That's because they pay you to be a squeef.
Not anymore, buddy.
Yeah, congratulations on your new car.
Thanks, Donna.
