Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s03e18 Episode Script
Midlife...Now What?
So? Who are you gonna bet on in the Super Bowl, huh, bro? What, are you holding out on me? Me? Never.
Let me see.
Come on.
Brandon, dude.
You picked the Knicks? The Knicks plus eight.
Brandon, don't you know that betting on basketball is for suckers? - We'll see.
- All right.
All right, don't come crawling to me when you lose that shirt of yours.
- What shirt? - Funny, Walsh.
I can't believe you're passing up a whole weekend to be pampered to death.
Yeah, I'm going to get massages every morning and every night.
- Me too.
- I know.
But it's a mother-daughter thing.
And I just feel like a fifth wheel.
Donna, are you sure your mom is really, really sick? Kel, she's not faking it.
Do you think my mom would bail out on something that's prepaid, and non-refundable? Can't you go with somebody else? Like who? Look, you guys, I'm just not into those kind of places.
Andrea, how do you know? You've never been to a health spa before.
Yeah.
The Montecito Spa is supposed to be the best in California.
And it's totally geared to women.
And it's totally free.
And it's totally luxurious.
And we'll all be together.
It'll be a blast.
I don't know.
Getting massages and beauty tips makes me a little nervous.
Somehow I've never had that problem.
Don't think of it in terms of vanity.
Think of it more of nurturing, and relaxation.
Just think the whirlpool will definitely be good for your legs.
- Well, that's true.
- Come on, Andrea, admit it.
Aren't you just the tiniest bit curious? Maybe just a little.
I mean, it is free.
And I could write a story about it in the Blaze.
Okay.
The meat loaf is for dinner tonight, the Arroz con Pollo is for tomorrow.
Ever hear of takeout? Jackie, would you tell your friend that I might just be capable of taking care of myself for a few days? Whatever you say, Jim.
Are you guys almost packed? Almost.
Mom, can I borrow your new robe? Nobody takes a robe to the Montecito.
Everybody just walks around naked? No.
They give you these really comfy little wraparounds that are like environmentally perfect.
That's what they tell me.
- See? - Cool.
- We're gonna go in 15 minutes.
- Okay.
Thank God they're on speaking terms again.
Well, you know it will end as soon as Dylan decides which one he wants to start dating again.
Let's hope not.
Well, have a great weekend, ladies, try not to think too hard about me slaving away back here.
- You're working this weekend? - No, I've got an audit coming up.
We represent this psychiatrist who's written this bestseller.
What is it? It's some pop psychology thing, you know.
Do you know the name of it? It's Mid-Life: Now What? Oh, I read it.
It's fabulous.
Every wife should read it.
- Hey, Mom, let's go.
- Excuse me.
Anyway, have a great weekend.
I suppose you'll be working with Dottie all weekend? No.
I'm going to be working with Doctor Benjamin Cramer, but Dottie is my secretary, and yes, she will be with me.
- Great.
- Honey You have got nothing to worry about which you already know.
Anyway, I'm much too old to be having a midlife crisis.
- Hey, Nat, could you do me a favour? - What's that? Would you call Duke and get me some action for tonight? - Who do you want? How much? - Give me the Knicks for half.
Wait, wait.
Isn't that a little too steep? Only if I lose.
Dylan, I'm telling you, it's a party in the Palisades.
The Pacific Palisades.
Come on.
You know how it is there, man? If you're not a babe by the time you're 16, they ask you to move out of town.
Steve, the last thing I need to do right now is to meet more girls, man.
Silver, how about it? I got two tests on Monday, and a girlfriend at the health spa.
You're a dweeb, you know that? Hey, Brando, a little party in the Palisades tonight? No can do, I'm gonna stay home, watch the Knicks game.
What's with you guys? I'm out of here.
This place is so peaceful.
I can feel myself melting into this couch.
They're gonna have to carry us out by the time this weekend is over.
You guys, did you see all the exotic massages they have here? Listen to this.
They have Jin Shin Do, watsu and reflexology.
What's Jin Shin Do? They'll explain it later.
Listen to this, they got low-impact aerobics, water aerobics and yoga.
Oh, I always wanted to take yoga, when it It's two hours.
That conflicts with their guided tour through the arboretum, - what am I supposed to do? - Andrea.
Maybe he'll let me take a late class if I skip breakfast.
- Andrea.
- Maybe they have a early-bird class - that I could take before 6 a.
m.
? - Andrea.
- What? - Relax.
Well, we're all set.
Now all I have to do is lose the ten pounds I put on since Erin was born.
Well, that sounds easier than losing 15 years.
Jackie? Babette.
Hi.
- You look fantastic.
- You too, thank you.
Babette Lewis, this is Cindy Walsh.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Babette, this is her daughter, Brenda.
- Hi.
- And this is Andrea.
- Hi.
- And Donna.
- Hi.
- And you remember Kelly? Of course I do.
Hi.
- It's been a long time.
- Yeah, it has.
- Are you here for the weekend? - Every weekend.
I work here.
- For the last two years.
- You're kidding.
No.
So if any of you need anything, or want anything, feel free to give me a holler.
- What room are you staying in? - Eight-thirty-two.
You guys have a great view from up there.
- Good.
- I've gotta go, but I'll give you a call.
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Okay, guys, let's go.
You know, this place is nirvana to begin with, but with your mom's friend working here, we will definitely be getting the royal treatment.
Believe me, any treatment Babette can give you, you don't want.
What do you mean? Babette used to be my mom's coke connection.
Hello, Sir Brandon.
Hey, Dad.
Look at this, will you look at this? Mom must have felt real guilty.
What do you want? The chicken or the meat loaf? I'll grab something near the office.
I gotta work all weekend.
With Dottie? Yes, with Dottie.
Way to go, Dad.
Excuse me, young raging hormones, may I remind you, I'm a married man? Hey, hey, you don't have to explain anything to me, you big stud.
- Good night.
- See you later, big guy.
Casa Walsh.
Oh, hey, Mom.
How are you doing? Fine.
We got here.
I mean, we made good time.
- How are you? - Great.
Listen, honey, is Dad there? He just ran out the door.
You want me to go get him? Oh, no, no, it's okay.
What time did he say he'd be back? Actually, he didn't say.
Maybe you wanna try him at the office.
- He's going to be working all weekend.
- Oh, okay, I'll just try him later.
Cool, talk to you later.
Bye, honey.
What's the matter? You think they have a bookstore in this place? Suppose they have a chapter here on men who have affairs with their secretaries? Let me guess.
Early 30s and a knockout.
More like late 20s and a knockout.
I know the type.
I was the type.
How do I compete with that? You can't and I'm sure Jim doesn't expect you to.
He's going to be alone with her all weekend while I'm having cellulite treatments.
Listen, if you weren't jealous every once in a while, you wouldn't be in love.
Jim is a good man and you guys have a great marriage.
Don't you? What kind of man goes to Amsterdam on business without bringing back any receipts? The man who doesn't want anyone to know what he was doing in Amsterdam.
Yeah.
What do you say we double-check the office expenses? Okay.
Okay.
There's $2795.
75 for the portable computer, $391.
12 for the Dictaphone, $1587 for the laser printer, $975.
25 for the file cabinet.
That's 5749.
12 amortized over five years which should leave us a deduction of 1148.
82.
That's amazing.
Well, 20 percent is pretty standard.
I mean, the way you did those computations in your head.
I can't even balance my chequebook.
You're really a brilliant man, Mr.
Walsh.
You should've seen me when I was in my prime.
As far as I can tell, you still are in your prime.
Hi, what are you guys doing? Oh, just a little warm-up before we go get beautified.
- But we're supposed to be inside.
- Andrea.
Right.
I know.
Relax.
Go.
Come on, baby.
This is really weird.
I can't believe I'm taking a bath in mud.
It is so gooey.
It feels like there's hay in it or something.
It's not hay, it's herbs.
- What kind of herbs? - The kind horses like to eat.
This is supposed to draw all the toxins out of the skin and restore its natural supple tone.
- Well, I cannot move in this goop.
- I don't know.
Rolling around in this slop just doesn't seem kosher.
Can we all be quiet and relaxed, please? Morning, Nathaniel.
Mr.
Duke? You don't waste any time.
A man's gotta earn a living, and get something good to eat.
Well, you came to the right place.
Remind me not to bet on a shrine game again.
Why don't you give it to your prodigy? He's the winner.
Thank you, sir.
But why don't you just hold on to that and we'll roll it over.
- Yeah? - Why not? I'm playing with your money now, aren't I? Breakfast is served, sir.
Yeah.
Will you stop with that song already? Man, you must really be caught between a rock and a hard place.
It's driving me crazy.
It's like I try to picture myself with Brenda, I see Kelly.
I try to picture myself with Kelly, I see Brenda.
- It's a problem.
- Yeah.
Listen, let me give you one piece of advice.
Stop playing that song or Nat's gonna hurt you.
That was invigorating.
- Oh, I'm freezing.
- Well, the cold water closes the pores.
My pores are freezing.
Okay, everybody all set? Lisanne will take care of you two.
And you two are with me.
And don't worry.
We're going to do a lot of work on your problem areas.
Problem areas? So where are you girls from? Beverly Hills.
Oh, you girls go to college? High school.
High school? They didn't make them like you when I was in high school, thank God.
Not sure it would've made a difference.
I wasn't very popular anyway.
It's just as well.
Men, who needs them? You know what I mean? My friend Mandy was going with this married man for almost three months.
A rich guy, in Beverly Hills.
He was crazy in love with her, bought her gifts, sent her flowers, until her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.
Can you imagine that? I mean, two best friends fighting over the same guy? What a crazy thing to do, huh? My legs feel like they're made out of rubber.
Are you as vegged out as I am? Yeah, I'm a radish.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, if you're thinking of my thunder-thighs.
Kelly, that masseuse was an airhead.
Although what she said about her best friends fighting over the same guy, that kind of got to me.
Yeah.
I wish Gina hadn't said anything either but one thing I can say for her.
She might have a big mouth, but she's got great hands.
Well, let's go see how the others are doing.
Brenda, wait.
Do you think I have problem areas? No, I'm serious.
Kelly, no.
You're crazy.
That song once again.
Oh, if it's what he wants Don't look at me, Nat, I didn't do it, I swear.
Oh, yeah.
Here you go.
What's with you anyway? I don't know, Nat.
I just Nat, I'm kind of having girl problems, to the extreme.
I kind of figured that out.
So who are you on the outs with? Kelly or Brenda? Kelly and Brenda.
I mean it depends what time of day it is, I swear.
Cheer up.
It's not like you're gonna get married next week.
Yeah.
I'll get you another cup of coffee.
Brenda, I'm home.
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
- Oh, my girls, how are you? - Pick me up, Daddy, pick me up.
Here, come here, I gotcha.
Up you go.
Where's your mother? Spending my money, isn't she? Where were you? Oh, I been away, darling, sorry.
Hey, hey, Kevin.
Kyle, now, hey, what have you guys done to this room? Kevin.
Kyle.
I had an important tax report laying right there on that table.
Brenda! Stop that, both of you.
You get over there.
You go to your room.
- Leave me alone.
- There you are, I didn't hear you come in.
I've been trying to decide on wallpaper for the nursery.
What do you think? Bunnies or bears? Bunnies or bears? Here you go.
Thanks.
I cannot believe you ordered two whole lunches at 392 calories apiece.
That is 784 calories.
Well, mud baths make me hungry.
Are you going to eat that avocado? - Go ahead.
- Thanks.
She's like a bottomless pit.
How do you eat so much and stay so thin? It's disgusting.
Oh, I ate a whole loaf of bread once.
Now, that's disgusting.
Donna, are you sure you don't have bulimia or something? I have a fast metabolism, gee.
Andrea, do you think Donna has an eating disorder? I don't know.
Andrea, you're starting to get the hang of this place.
According to this, 66 percent of men over the age of 42 have had fantasies of leaving their wife to run off with a younger woman.
Big surprise.
Okay, Dr.
Kramer says: "Only expose these feelings to your wife if you are willing to accept the consequences which may be severe and painful.
Remain in control.
Don't panic.
These fantasies are normal.
They are just fantasies.
Unless you make them a reality.
" I wonder if they have a phone out here.
Jim Walsh's office.
Yes, is he in? I'm sorry, but he's behind closed doors, may I take a message? Well, just tell him that his wife called.
Cindy.
Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
How's the spa? It's great.
How's my husband? Great.
Really great.
Great.
Would you like for me to interrupt him? No, it's not important.
I'm sure you're taking good care of him.
I'm doing my best.
Great.
The problem's Knock, knock, gentlemen.
It's lunchtime.
Oh, thank you, Dottie.
Cindy called about 20 minutes ago, but she said not to disturb you.
Is she okay? Yeah, she was checking up on you.
Making sure you're being a good boy.
Thai noodles and shrimp and my own personal favourite, sweet-and-sour baby lamb.
- Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
How do you concentrate around here? Hey, I'm a married man.
Well, so was I.
Can I ask you a question? If you'd like to.
- Forget it.
- Okay.
You're right.
I can't concentrate.
I think about her all the time.
It's driving me crazy.
I don't know what to do.
I mean, I love my wife.
She's a terrific lady.
I can't even imagine life without her, but hey, I'm only human, you know? And you see what my secretary is like.
Just between you and me, half the time I think she's coming on to me.
Which I know, it's crazy, I know, I know, I know.
But then I think, what if she is coming on to me? And then I get so guilty for thinking about her at all.
You know what the worst part is? She is by far and away the best damn secretary I've ever had.
I see.
So, what am I going to do, doc? Well, maybe you'd like to make an appointment with my office, and we could explore your feelings further.
Okay.
As long as you were here In the meantime, why don't you take a copy of my book and try the noodles, they're delicious.
Do you remember that 4th of July party we had at Corey Jessup's ranch? Part of it.
I was pretty stoned that night.
Everybody was stoned that night.
Oh, and Corey had the most incredible display of fireworks that just went on for hours.
What I remember is falling asleep on the couch and not waking up till August.
When Corey said he was taking you out for French food it meant bring along your passport.
You mean he'd fly you to France? Ten, 15 people at a time on his Lear jet.
- No.
- And I'm not sure which was higher, the plane or the passengers.
We had some good times, huh? Yeah, we did.
And more bad times than I care to remember.
Yeah.
Well, I have to confess, every now and then, I still do an occasional toot but only on special occasions.
Not me.
I'm completely clean.
I'm not Jackie Taylor anymore.
I'm Mrs.
Mel Silver.
I just had a new baby and I feel better than I have in years.
That's great, Jackie.
Well, listen, I better get going before they realise that I'm gone.
Thanks for the fruit basket.
Oh, you're welcome.
- And it was nice talking to you, Cindy.
- You too, Babette.
Listen, maybe we can all get together for a drink later.
- That'd be fun.
- Great.
Great, I'll give you a call.
Bye.
See you.
Oh, boy Sounds like some wild times.
Yeah, they were.
Do you remember the first time we met? You caught me doing lines in the bathroom? Yes.
I remember.
- I'm so embarrassed now I could die.
- Why? I mean, you have changed so much since then.
I mean, you're a completely different person.
I really admire you for that.
Thank you.
Honestly, Kelly, don't you think you're jumping to conclusions? No, I mean, why else would she bring up a fruit basket? Because she was trying to be friendly? I don't buy it.
But how do you know Babette is still a dealer? It's just a vibe I get.
Well, even is she is, that doesn't mean Jackie's gonna get high again, does it? Look, Kelly, if this is really bothering you, you should definitely talk to your mother about it, but can we do it after our facials? - Why don't you just go without me? - Kelly.
Okay, look, I'll meet you in the locker room in 10 minutes, okay? Okay.
Hi, guys.
What smells? Seaweed body wraps.
- Sounds slimy.
- I feel like a piece of sushi.
Actually, I've never had sushi, but I imagine this is what sushi feels like.
So anyway, my friend Mandy had been going out with this married man for like almost three months until her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.
Anyway, he was this big-time Beverly Hills oral surgeon with a new wife and a new baby.
Dr.
Silver.
Mel Silver.
You ever hear of him? And so, he and she have been going out for like, you know, two, three months on the sly, and you just know a guy like that's gonna do the same thing again and again and again.
Davey, me boy.
Davey, me boy.
You can't be coy with Davey me boy.
Do you think I can get a large pot of coffee? Sure you could, young Davey.
But not from me, laddie.
My shift is over and I'm leaving.
Nadine, would you bring this young man a pot of coffee? - Later, bro.
- Thanks, man.
Studying? No, I was just reading.
For fun? Strange, but true.
You don't look so good, Silver.
Yeah, well, I didn't get all my beauty sleep.
Young Erin was up crying all night.
- Is she sick? - No.
She misses her mama.
What about her dada? Last night was the poker game.
How convenient.
Yeah, well, he deserves a night off for a change.
He's one of those workaholics.
- Really? - Yup.
Mel's theory is: You spend the long hours to make the big bucks so you can spoil all the women in your life.
Why do you think he and Kelly get along so well? Honey, I'm home.
I'm in here, babe.
- Did you have a good day? - I did.
Until a nasty clerk at Saks tore up my credit card.
She insisted we were a couple of months late paying the bill.
How could she say something like that? Well, Kel, I need to talk to you about something.
- Okay, but first, close your eyes.
- Kelly.
Come on.
Close them.
Pretty please.
Ta-da.
Isn't it divine? I bought it for our next vacation.
What vacation? Well, President's Day is coming up, and since we always go somewhere, I told Donna and David we'd go skiing with them in St.
Moritz for the weekend.
I don't really think that's a very good idea.
Oh, please? Not this year.
Come on, baby, don't look at me like that, pl Loo Here.
We were just in Paris a month ago.
Now, can't we just stay home, you know? Quietly for the weekend, just you and I in our little love nest, what do you think? Dylan, why would we stay here when we can go to Hawaii? That's not a good idea, Kel.
- Why not? - We're broke.
- What'd you say? - There's no more money in the bank.
How did that happen? We spent it all.
Oh, my God.
Dylan, oh, my God.
How are we gonna live? What are we gonna do? Kel, it's gonna be okay.
I mean, don't get upset.
How can you say that? We have no money.
Look, Kel, I knew you were gonna be upset, I knew it, so I took it upon myself to go out and get you a little something to make you feel better.
Oh, Dylan, you've gotta be the sweetest little thing in the whole world.
Yeah, do you like it? I love it.
It's an emerald.
That's Brenda Walsh's birthstone.
You're still carrying a torch for her, aren't you? Nat, Nat, how much do I owe you? I don't know.
I'll put it on your tab.
No, no, no, no tabs, man.
I'm gonna pay cash.
I'm sorry I'm late, Bren.
Did you get a whiff of Donna and Andrea in their sea-scum body wraps? I strongly suggest you don't stand downwind from them for a few days.
What's the matter? Kelly, you know the masseuse with the big mouth? Yeah.
Well, I was in there and she was talking about her friend Mandy again.
You know, the one who was having an affair with a married man? Bren, you said yourself the girl is an airhead.
Dylan's not gonna get in the way of our friendship.
- Kelly, let me finish.
- Sorry.
This time she said who the married man was.
Well, who is it? - It's Mel.
- What? "Dr.
Mel Silver.
Oral surgeon from Beverly Hills.
" Look, I don't know if it's true but that's what she said.
This can't be happening.
This has gotta be a mistake.
- Hello? - Hi, David, it's me.
I was talking about you with Dylan down at the Peach Pit.
How's it going? Not so good.
Is your dad there? No, I haven't seen him.
Why, what's up? Hopefully nothing.
Did you talk to him this morning? Well, no, he left for work before I got up.
Did you see him last night? Kelly, what's wrong? Listen, just answer the question, I will tell you in a minute, okay? Well, yeah, I saw him.
He was in a good mood.
We played with Erin, and then He left for his poker game.
So you don't know if he came home last night? I'm sure he did.
But you don't know for sure.
Well, no, I didn't do a bed check if that's what you mean.
Listen, do me a favour, ask Rosa if she's seen him yet today.
- That was like pulling teeth.
- Well, his dad is a dentist.
What'd she say? He didn't come home last night.
Or the night before.
- Hey, Pop.
- Hey, how you doing, Mr.
Walsh? Hi, guys.
How are you doing? Good, good, we just came by to grab a little food before we go to the Stallone movie preview.
Sounds like a plan.
Have a good time.
Hey, Mr.
Walsh, what book are you reading? Book? Oh, you mean this book? Oh, no, I'm not really reading it.
One of my clients wrote it.
That's the only reason I have it.
Any good? Well, like I said, I'm not really reading it.
I'm just sort of skimming it.
That's all.
What's it called? Why do you want to know? Dad? What's the big deal? It's called Mid-Life: Now What? If you make one crack - I'm giving the Mustang to Brenda.
- I didn't say anything, not a word.
Enjoy the movie.
So how was work today? - Cher comes here? - She's a regular.
So is Michelle Phillips and Loni Anderson.
In other words if we make these weekends part of our lives, we too can end up looking glamorous and eternally youthful.
Well, sweetheart, I don't think I'd go that far.
Fifteen years.
Hi, sweetie.
You wanna join us? - No, can I talk to you for a second? - Sure, is everything okay? Yeah.
Excuse me.
Oh, beautiful night.
You know, I am glad that you pulled me out of there.
This was to be a mother-daughter weekend and I feel like we haven't spent any time together.
I miss you.
You were drinking.
- Is that why we're out here? - No.
Because I'm fine.
I had a little sip of white wine and that's my limit, so you don't have to worry about your old mom.
Does Babette still do coke? She says she still dabbles every now and then.
- On special occasions.
- Do you dabble? Kelly.
Mom, just tell me the truth, please.
No.
You know I don't.
Now, what is this about? I have something to tell you, and if you were ever gonna start again, this would be the thing that might push you over the edge.
Honey, what's wrong? Let's go sit down.
All right.
I don't know how to say it.
Well, just say it.
It's about Mel.
Listen, I'll catch up with you later, okay? Well, contemplating a midnight swim? Make that 1 a.
m.
You're kidding.
I guess I'd better get up to my room.
Hey, what's wrong? Oh, I couldn't sleep.
I got some bad news from home.
What happened? Oh, God.
It's such a cliché.
Come on, you can trust me.
I found out my husband is having an affair.
Oh, Jackie.
And you with the new baby.
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
We weren't even married a year.
I should've seen it coming.
I mean, he constantly cheated on his ex.
He was always with a dental assistant or a hygienist.
He swore he'd changed.
He swore with me he'd be different.
How could I have been so naive? Don't beat yourself up, Jackie.
None of this was your fault.
Not one bit of it.
Now, I have to figure out what to do with my life.
May I make a suggestion? Don't make any major decisions in a depressed state of mind.
- Did you learn that in a fortune cookie? - Come on, you look like you could use a little pick-me-up.
I know just the place to get it.
Come on.
Mom.
Hi, honey.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you.
It's a quarter to 2.
Where have you been? Well I couldn't sleep, so I went down to the pool to think things out, and I ran into Babette.
And I ended up in her room with a half a gram of cocaine.
Oh, Mom.
It was tempting.
It was really tempting.
But That's not the way I'm gonna deal with this.
That's not the way I'm gonna deal with anything ever again.
So I thanked her and I left.
I'm so proud of you.
Yeah, me too.
- You know what? - What? Tonight I realised that no matter what the future brings l'm glad I met Mel.
Because look what I got out of it.
A beautiful baby.
What more could a girl from Ohio ask for? What's gonna happen? I don't know.
I have to talk to Mel, that's for sure.
Maybe we can work through this, maybe we can't, we'll just have to see.
Why do men cheat? Why isn't one woman ever enough? I don't know.
Maybe it's genetic.
Mr.
Walsh? Dottie.
Hi, I know I wasn't supposed to be here until 10, but I've been thinking about you since I woke up this morning, and, well, we need to talk.
Okay.
I don't know where to begin, it's so awkward.
No.
It's okay.
Okay, then I'll just come out and say it.
Maybe it's because your wife's out of town or because we've been working so closely together these last few weeks, but you have to be the most brilliant and compassionate man I've ever met.
And I don't care how old you are I find you incredibly sexy, and I wanna make love to you in the worst way right here, right now.
Dottie, please, we shouldn't be doing this.
I'm a happily married man.
Dottie, please.
You know I love Cindy.
Oh, my God.
This is like a fantasy come true.
Of course, it's a fantasy, you old horn dog.
Haven't you finished reading that book yet? Mr.
Walsh? Mr.
Walsh? Dottie.
Hi, I know I wasn't supposed to be here until 10, but I've been thinking about you all morning and, well, we need to talk.
Okay.
I don't know where to begin, it's so awkward.
Awkward? Okay, then, I'll just come out and say it.
Dottie, we shouldn't be doing this.
I think you better find yourself a new secretary.
What? My boyfriend and I are moving back to Florida next week.
Boyfriend? He got down on his knees and proposed last night.
We're getting married.
Congratulations.
You guys, look what I have here.
Oh, I love free samples.
Now, the pink caps are for normal to dry skin.
Here, try this one.
Andrea, I think you have a year's supply for each of us there.
Well, it's important to be pH balanced.
- Mom, who was on the phone? - That was just your father.
He called to say he loved me.
Well, after 20 years it's nice to know that he still cares.
Need any help? No, I'm all through.
How are you doing? Are you going to be all right? I think so.
I know what I have to do.
And it's not going to be easy but I'm prepared to deal with whatever comes.
Oh, Jackie, I just feel like such a fool.
I mean, here I've been suspicious of Jim all weekend and now you have to deal with the real thing.
That would look good on you.
What about something in red? It's a fabulous colour for you.
I guess I'm just not in a shopping mood today.
Look, Kelly, I know you're worried about your mom, but she's a strong woman, you know that, don't you? Yeah, I do.
- Okay, let's go.
- Okay.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't understand why you're rooting against Minnesota.
I'm not.
I just don't want them to beat the spread.
Oh, no.
God forbid.
Dylan, maybe if you had a little more interest in sports, you wouldn't have spent all weekend worrying about your girl problems.
Thank you, Dr.
Freud.
Hey, if that's Brenda and Kelly, - tell them to stop over.
- Yeah? How much money you got on this game? What? Turn on Channel 6.
There's under a minute left.
Turn it on.
Convicted financier Jack McKay is being released from federal prison after having served just two years of a ten-year sentence.
His early parole has caught most people in both the business and the law enforcement community by surprise.
The reaction has been mixed.
How come you didn't tell us about this, man? I didn't know.
Right now, let's take a look at a story our Lifestyle editor has found in the Valley.
We'll be back with that right after weather.
Let me see.
Come on.
Brandon, dude.
You picked the Knicks? The Knicks plus eight.
Brandon, don't you know that betting on basketball is for suckers? - We'll see.
- All right.
All right, don't come crawling to me when you lose that shirt of yours.
- What shirt? - Funny, Walsh.
I can't believe you're passing up a whole weekend to be pampered to death.
Yeah, I'm going to get massages every morning and every night.
- Me too.
- I know.
But it's a mother-daughter thing.
And I just feel like a fifth wheel.
Donna, are you sure your mom is really, really sick? Kel, she's not faking it.
Do you think my mom would bail out on something that's prepaid, and non-refundable? Can't you go with somebody else? Like who? Look, you guys, I'm just not into those kind of places.
Andrea, how do you know? You've never been to a health spa before.
Yeah.
The Montecito Spa is supposed to be the best in California.
And it's totally geared to women.
And it's totally free.
And it's totally luxurious.
And we'll all be together.
It'll be a blast.
I don't know.
Getting massages and beauty tips makes me a little nervous.
Somehow I've never had that problem.
Don't think of it in terms of vanity.
Think of it more of nurturing, and relaxation.
Just think the whirlpool will definitely be good for your legs.
- Well, that's true.
- Come on, Andrea, admit it.
Aren't you just the tiniest bit curious? Maybe just a little.
I mean, it is free.
And I could write a story about it in the Blaze.
Okay.
The meat loaf is for dinner tonight, the Arroz con Pollo is for tomorrow.
Ever hear of takeout? Jackie, would you tell your friend that I might just be capable of taking care of myself for a few days? Whatever you say, Jim.
Are you guys almost packed? Almost.
Mom, can I borrow your new robe? Nobody takes a robe to the Montecito.
Everybody just walks around naked? No.
They give you these really comfy little wraparounds that are like environmentally perfect.
That's what they tell me.
- See? - Cool.
- We're gonna go in 15 minutes.
- Okay.
Thank God they're on speaking terms again.
Well, you know it will end as soon as Dylan decides which one he wants to start dating again.
Let's hope not.
Well, have a great weekend, ladies, try not to think too hard about me slaving away back here.
- You're working this weekend? - No, I've got an audit coming up.
We represent this psychiatrist who's written this bestseller.
What is it? It's some pop psychology thing, you know.
Do you know the name of it? It's Mid-Life: Now What? Oh, I read it.
It's fabulous.
Every wife should read it.
- Hey, Mom, let's go.
- Excuse me.
Anyway, have a great weekend.
I suppose you'll be working with Dottie all weekend? No.
I'm going to be working with Doctor Benjamin Cramer, but Dottie is my secretary, and yes, she will be with me.
- Great.
- Honey You have got nothing to worry about which you already know.
Anyway, I'm much too old to be having a midlife crisis.
- Hey, Nat, could you do me a favour? - What's that? Would you call Duke and get me some action for tonight? - Who do you want? How much? - Give me the Knicks for half.
Wait, wait.
Isn't that a little too steep? Only if I lose.
Dylan, I'm telling you, it's a party in the Palisades.
The Pacific Palisades.
Come on.
You know how it is there, man? If you're not a babe by the time you're 16, they ask you to move out of town.
Steve, the last thing I need to do right now is to meet more girls, man.
Silver, how about it? I got two tests on Monday, and a girlfriend at the health spa.
You're a dweeb, you know that? Hey, Brando, a little party in the Palisades tonight? No can do, I'm gonna stay home, watch the Knicks game.
What's with you guys? I'm out of here.
This place is so peaceful.
I can feel myself melting into this couch.
They're gonna have to carry us out by the time this weekend is over.
You guys, did you see all the exotic massages they have here? Listen to this.
They have Jin Shin Do, watsu and reflexology.
What's Jin Shin Do? They'll explain it later.
Listen to this, they got low-impact aerobics, water aerobics and yoga.
Oh, I always wanted to take yoga, when it It's two hours.
That conflicts with their guided tour through the arboretum, - what am I supposed to do? - Andrea.
Maybe he'll let me take a late class if I skip breakfast.
- Andrea.
- Maybe they have a early-bird class - that I could take before 6 a.
m.
? - Andrea.
- What? - Relax.
Well, we're all set.
Now all I have to do is lose the ten pounds I put on since Erin was born.
Well, that sounds easier than losing 15 years.
Jackie? Babette.
Hi.
- You look fantastic.
- You too, thank you.
Babette Lewis, this is Cindy Walsh.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Babette, this is her daughter, Brenda.
- Hi.
- And this is Andrea.
- Hi.
- And Donna.
- Hi.
- And you remember Kelly? Of course I do.
Hi.
- It's been a long time.
- Yeah, it has.
- Are you here for the weekend? - Every weekend.
I work here.
- For the last two years.
- You're kidding.
No.
So if any of you need anything, or want anything, feel free to give me a holler.
- What room are you staying in? - Eight-thirty-two.
You guys have a great view from up there.
- Good.
- I've gotta go, but I'll give you a call.
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Okay, guys, let's go.
You know, this place is nirvana to begin with, but with your mom's friend working here, we will definitely be getting the royal treatment.
Believe me, any treatment Babette can give you, you don't want.
What do you mean? Babette used to be my mom's coke connection.
Hello, Sir Brandon.
Hey, Dad.
Look at this, will you look at this? Mom must have felt real guilty.
What do you want? The chicken or the meat loaf? I'll grab something near the office.
I gotta work all weekend.
With Dottie? Yes, with Dottie.
Way to go, Dad.
Excuse me, young raging hormones, may I remind you, I'm a married man? Hey, hey, you don't have to explain anything to me, you big stud.
- Good night.
- See you later, big guy.
Casa Walsh.
Oh, hey, Mom.
How are you doing? Fine.
We got here.
I mean, we made good time.
- How are you? - Great.
Listen, honey, is Dad there? He just ran out the door.
You want me to go get him? Oh, no, no, it's okay.
What time did he say he'd be back? Actually, he didn't say.
Maybe you wanna try him at the office.
- He's going to be working all weekend.
- Oh, okay, I'll just try him later.
Cool, talk to you later.
Bye, honey.
What's the matter? You think they have a bookstore in this place? Suppose they have a chapter here on men who have affairs with their secretaries? Let me guess.
Early 30s and a knockout.
More like late 20s and a knockout.
I know the type.
I was the type.
How do I compete with that? You can't and I'm sure Jim doesn't expect you to.
He's going to be alone with her all weekend while I'm having cellulite treatments.
Listen, if you weren't jealous every once in a while, you wouldn't be in love.
Jim is a good man and you guys have a great marriage.
Don't you? What kind of man goes to Amsterdam on business without bringing back any receipts? The man who doesn't want anyone to know what he was doing in Amsterdam.
Yeah.
What do you say we double-check the office expenses? Okay.
Okay.
There's $2795.
75 for the portable computer, $391.
12 for the Dictaphone, $1587 for the laser printer, $975.
25 for the file cabinet.
That's 5749.
12 amortized over five years which should leave us a deduction of 1148.
82.
That's amazing.
Well, 20 percent is pretty standard.
I mean, the way you did those computations in your head.
I can't even balance my chequebook.
You're really a brilliant man, Mr.
Walsh.
You should've seen me when I was in my prime.
As far as I can tell, you still are in your prime.
Hi, what are you guys doing? Oh, just a little warm-up before we go get beautified.
- But we're supposed to be inside.
- Andrea.
Right.
I know.
Relax.
Go.
Come on, baby.
This is really weird.
I can't believe I'm taking a bath in mud.
It is so gooey.
It feels like there's hay in it or something.
It's not hay, it's herbs.
- What kind of herbs? - The kind horses like to eat.
This is supposed to draw all the toxins out of the skin and restore its natural supple tone.
- Well, I cannot move in this goop.
- I don't know.
Rolling around in this slop just doesn't seem kosher.
Can we all be quiet and relaxed, please? Morning, Nathaniel.
Mr.
Duke? You don't waste any time.
A man's gotta earn a living, and get something good to eat.
Well, you came to the right place.
Remind me not to bet on a shrine game again.
Why don't you give it to your prodigy? He's the winner.
Thank you, sir.
But why don't you just hold on to that and we'll roll it over.
- Yeah? - Why not? I'm playing with your money now, aren't I? Breakfast is served, sir.
Yeah.
Will you stop with that song already? Man, you must really be caught between a rock and a hard place.
It's driving me crazy.
It's like I try to picture myself with Brenda, I see Kelly.
I try to picture myself with Kelly, I see Brenda.
- It's a problem.
- Yeah.
Listen, let me give you one piece of advice.
Stop playing that song or Nat's gonna hurt you.
That was invigorating.
- Oh, I'm freezing.
- Well, the cold water closes the pores.
My pores are freezing.
Okay, everybody all set? Lisanne will take care of you two.
And you two are with me.
And don't worry.
We're going to do a lot of work on your problem areas.
Problem areas? So where are you girls from? Beverly Hills.
Oh, you girls go to college? High school.
High school? They didn't make them like you when I was in high school, thank God.
Not sure it would've made a difference.
I wasn't very popular anyway.
It's just as well.
Men, who needs them? You know what I mean? My friend Mandy was going with this married man for almost three months.
A rich guy, in Beverly Hills.
He was crazy in love with her, bought her gifts, sent her flowers, until her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.
Can you imagine that? I mean, two best friends fighting over the same guy? What a crazy thing to do, huh? My legs feel like they're made out of rubber.
Are you as vegged out as I am? Yeah, I'm a radish.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, if you're thinking of my thunder-thighs.
Kelly, that masseuse was an airhead.
Although what she said about her best friends fighting over the same guy, that kind of got to me.
Yeah.
I wish Gina hadn't said anything either but one thing I can say for her.
She might have a big mouth, but she's got great hands.
Well, let's go see how the others are doing.
Brenda, wait.
Do you think I have problem areas? No, I'm serious.
Kelly, no.
You're crazy.
That song once again.
Oh, if it's what he wants Don't look at me, Nat, I didn't do it, I swear.
Oh, yeah.
Here you go.
What's with you anyway? I don't know, Nat.
I just Nat, I'm kind of having girl problems, to the extreme.
I kind of figured that out.
So who are you on the outs with? Kelly or Brenda? Kelly and Brenda.
I mean it depends what time of day it is, I swear.
Cheer up.
It's not like you're gonna get married next week.
Yeah.
I'll get you another cup of coffee.
Brenda, I'm home.
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
- Oh, my girls, how are you? - Pick me up, Daddy, pick me up.
Here, come here, I gotcha.
Up you go.
Where's your mother? Spending my money, isn't she? Where were you? Oh, I been away, darling, sorry.
Hey, hey, Kevin.
Kyle, now, hey, what have you guys done to this room? Kevin.
Kyle.
I had an important tax report laying right there on that table.
Brenda! Stop that, both of you.
You get over there.
You go to your room.
- Leave me alone.
- There you are, I didn't hear you come in.
I've been trying to decide on wallpaper for the nursery.
What do you think? Bunnies or bears? Bunnies or bears? Here you go.
Thanks.
I cannot believe you ordered two whole lunches at 392 calories apiece.
That is 784 calories.
Well, mud baths make me hungry.
Are you going to eat that avocado? - Go ahead.
- Thanks.
She's like a bottomless pit.
How do you eat so much and stay so thin? It's disgusting.
Oh, I ate a whole loaf of bread once.
Now, that's disgusting.
Donna, are you sure you don't have bulimia or something? I have a fast metabolism, gee.
Andrea, do you think Donna has an eating disorder? I don't know.
Andrea, you're starting to get the hang of this place.
According to this, 66 percent of men over the age of 42 have had fantasies of leaving their wife to run off with a younger woman.
Big surprise.
Okay, Dr.
Kramer says: "Only expose these feelings to your wife if you are willing to accept the consequences which may be severe and painful.
Remain in control.
Don't panic.
These fantasies are normal.
They are just fantasies.
Unless you make them a reality.
" I wonder if they have a phone out here.
Jim Walsh's office.
Yes, is he in? I'm sorry, but he's behind closed doors, may I take a message? Well, just tell him that his wife called.
Cindy.
Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
How's the spa? It's great.
How's my husband? Great.
Really great.
Great.
Would you like for me to interrupt him? No, it's not important.
I'm sure you're taking good care of him.
I'm doing my best.
Great.
The problem's Knock, knock, gentlemen.
It's lunchtime.
Oh, thank you, Dottie.
Cindy called about 20 minutes ago, but she said not to disturb you.
Is she okay? Yeah, she was checking up on you.
Making sure you're being a good boy.
Thai noodles and shrimp and my own personal favourite, sweet-and-sour baby lamb.
- Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
How do you concentrate around here? Hey, I'm a married man.
Well, so was I.
Can I ask you a question? If you'd like to.
- Forget it.
- Okay.
You're right.
I can't concentrate.
I think about her all the time.
It's driving me crazy.
I don't know what to do.
I mean, I love my wife.
She's a terrific lady.
I can't even imagine life without her, but hey, I'm only human, you know? And you see what my secretary is like.
Just between you and me, half the time I think she's coming on to me.
Which I know, it's crazy, I know, I know, I know.
But then I think, what if she is coming on to me? And then I get so guilty for thinking about her at all.
You know what the worst part is? She is by far and away the best damn secretary I've ever had.
I see.
So, what am I going to do, doc? Well, maybe you'd like to make an appointment with my office, and we could explore your feelings further.
Okay.
As long as you were here In the meantime, why don't you take a copy of my book and try the noodles, they're delicious.
Do you remember that 4th of July party we had at Corey Jessup's ranch? Part of it.
I was pretty stoned that night.
Everybody was stoned that night.
Oh, and Corey had the most incredible display of fireworks that just went on for hours.
What I remember is falling asleep on the couch and not waking up till August.
When Corey said he was taking you out for French food it meant bring along your passport.
You mean he'd fly you to France? Ten, 15 people at a time on his Lear jet.
- No.
- And I'm not sure which was higher, the plane or the passengers.
We had some good times, huh? Yeah, we did.
And more bad times than I care to remember.
Yeah.
Well, I have to confess, every now and then, I still do an occasional toot but only on special occasions.
Not me.
I'm completely clean.
I'm not Jackie Taylor anymore.
I'm Mrs.
Mel Silver.
I just had a new baby and I feel better than I have in years.
That's great, Jackie.
Well, listen, I better get going before they realise that I'm gone.
Thanks for the fruit basket.
Oh, you're welcome.
- And it was nice talking to you, Cindy.
- You too, Babette.
Listen, maybe we can all get together for a drink later.
- That'd be fun.
- Great.
Great, I'll give you a call.
Bye.
See you.
Oh, boy Sounds like some wild times.
Yeah, they were.
Do you remember the first time we met? You caught me doing lines in the bathroom? Yes.
I remember.
- I'm so embarrassed now I could die.
- Why? I mean, you have changed so much since then.
I mean, you're a completely different person.
I really admire you for that.
Thank you.
Honestly, Kelly, don't you think you're jumping to conclusions? No, I mean, why else would she bring up a fruit basket? Because she was trying to be friendly? I don't buy it.
But how do you know Babette is still a dealer? It's just a vibe I get.
Well, even is she is, that doesn't mean Jackie's gonna get high again, does it? Look, Kelly, if this is really bothering you, you should definitely talk to your mother about it, but can we do it after our facials? - Why don't you just go without me? - Kelly.
Okay, look, I'll meet you in the locker room in 10 minutes, okay? Okay.
Hi, guys.
What smells? Seaweed body wraps.
- Sounds slimy.
- I feel like a piece of sushi.
Actually, I've never had sushi, but I imagine this is what sushi feels like.
So anyway, my friend Mandy had been going out with this married man for like almost three months until her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.
Anyway, he was this big-time Beverly Hills oral surgeon with a new wife and a new baby.
Dr.
Silver.
Mel Silver.
You ever hear of him? And so, he and she have been going out for like, you know, two, three months on the sly, and you just know a guy like that's gonna do the same thing again and again and again.
Davey, me boy.
Davey, me boy.
You can't be coy with Davey me boy.
Do you think I can get a large pot of coffee? Sure you could, young Davey.
But not from me, laddie.
My shift is over and I'm leaving.
Nadine, would you bring this young man a pot of coffee? - Later, bro.
- Thanks, man.
Studying? No, I was just reading.
For fun? Strange, but true.
You don't look so good, Silver.
Yeah, well, I didn't get all my beauty sleep.
Young Erin was up crying all night.
- Is she sick? - No.
She misses her mama.
What about her dada? Last night was the poker game.
How convenient.
Yeah, well, he deserves a night off for a change.
He's one of those workaholics.
- Really? - Yup.
Mel's theory is: You spend the long hours to make the big bucks so you can spoil all the women in your life.
Why do you think he and Kelly get along so well? Honey, I'm home.
I'm in here, babe.
- Did you have a good day? - I did.
Until a nasty clerk at Saks tore up my credit card.
She insisted we were a couple of months late paying the bill.
How could she say something like that? Well, Kel, I need to talk to you about something.
- Okay, but first, close your eyes.
- Kelly.
Come on.
Close them.
Pretty please.
Ta-da.
Isn't it divine? I bought it for our next vacation.
What vacation? Well, President's Day is coming up, and since we always go somewhere, I told Donna and David we'd go skiing with them in St.
Moritz for the weekend.
I don't really think that's a very good idea.
Oh, please? Not this year.
Come on, baby, don't look at me like that, pl Loo Here.
We were just in Paris a month ago.
Now, can't we just stay home, you know? Quietly for the weekend, just you and I in our little love nest, what do you think? Dylan, why would we stay here when we can go to Hawaii? That's not a good idea, Kel.
- Why not? - We're broke.
- What'd you say? - There's no more money in the bank.
How did that happen? We spent it all.
Oh, my God.
Dylan, oh, my God.
How are we gonna live? What are we gonna do? Kel, it's gonna be okay.
I mean, don't get upset.
How can you say that? We have no money.
Look, Kel, I knew you were gonna be upset, I knew it, so I took it upon myself to go out and get you a little something to make you feel better.
Oh, Dylan, you've gotta be the sweetest little thing in the whole world.
Yeah, do you like it? I love it.
It's an emerald.
That's Brenda Walsh's birthstone.
You're still carrying a torch for her, aren't you? Nat, Nat, how much do I owe you? I don't know.
I'll put it on your tab.
No, no, no, no tabs, man.
I'm gonna pay cash.
I'm sorry I'm late, Bren.
Did you get a whiff of Donna and Andrea in their sea-scum body wraps? I strongly suggest you don't stand downwind from them for a few days.
What's the matter? Kelly, you know the masseuse with the big mouth? Yeah.
Well, I was in there and she was talking about her friend Mandy again.
You know, the one who was having an affair with a married man? Bren, you said yourself the girl is an airhead.
Dylan's not gonna get in the way of our friendship.
- Kelly, let me finish.
- Sorry.
This time she said who the married man was.
Well, who is it? - It's Mel.
- What? "Dr.
Mel Silver.
Oral surgeon from Beverly Hills.
" Look, I don't know if it's true but that's what she said.
This can't be happening.
This has gotta be a mistake.
- Hello? - Hi, David, it's me.
I was talking about you with Dylan down at the Peach Pit.
How's it going? Not so good.
Is your dad there? No, I haven't seen him.
Why, what's up? Hopefully nothing.
Did you talk to him this morning? Well, no, he left for work before I got up.
Did you see him last night? Kelly, what's wrong? Listen, just answer the question, I will tell you in a minute, okay? Well, yeah, I saw him.
He was in a good mood.
We played with Erin, and then He left for his poker game.
So you don't know if he came home last night? I'm sure he did.
But you don't know for sure.
Well, no, I didn't do a bed check if that's what you mean.
Listen, do me a favour, ask Rosa if she's seen him yet today.
- That was like pulling teeth.
- Well, his dad is a dentist.
What'd she say? He didn't come home last night.
Or the night before.
- Hey, Pop.
- Hey, how you doing, Mr.
Walsh? Hi, guys.
How are you doing? Good, good, we just came by to grab a little food before we go to the Stallone movie preview.
Sounds like a plan.
Have a good time.
Hey, Mr.
Walsh, what book are you reading? Book? Oh, you mean this book? Oh, no, I'm not really reading it.
One of my clients wrote it.
That's the only reason I have it.
Any good? Well, like I said, I'm not really reading it.
I'm just sort of skimming it.
That's all.
What's it called? Why do you want to know? Dad? What's the big deal? It's called Mid-Life: Now What? If you make one crack - I'm giving the Mustang to Brenda.
- I didn't say anything, not a word.
Enjoy the movie.
So how was work today? - Cher comes here? - She's a regular.
So is Michelle Phillips and Loni Anderson.
In other words if we make these weekends part of our lives, we too can end up looking glamorous and eternally youthful.
Well, sweetheart, I don't think I'd go that far.
Fifteen years.
Hi, sweetie.
You wanna join us? - No, can I talk to you for a second? - Sure, is everything okay? Yeah.
Excuse me.
Oh, beautiful night.
You know, I am glad that you pulled me out of there.
This was to be a mother-daughter weekend and I feel like we haven't spent any time together.
I miss you.
You were drinking.
- Is that why we're out here? - No.
Because I'm fine.
I had a little sip of white wine and that's my limit, so you don't have to worry about your old mom.
Does Babette still do coke? She says she still dabbles every now and then.
- On special occasions.
- Do you dabble? Kelly.
Mom, just tell me the truth, please.
No.
You know I don't.
Now, what is this about? I have something to tell you, and if you were ever gonna start again, this would be the thing that might push you over the edge.
Honey, what's wrong? Let's go sit down.
All right.
I don't know how to say it.
Well, just say it.
It's about Mel.
Listen, I'll catch up with you later, okay? Well, contemplating a midnight swim? Make that 1 a.
m.
You're kidding.
I guess I'd better get up to my room.
Hey, what's wrong? Oh, I couldn't sleep.
I got some bad news from home.
What happened? Oh, God.
It's such a cliché.
Come on, you can trust me.
I found out my husband is having an affair.
Oh, Jackie.
And you with the new baby.
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
We weren't even married a year.
I should've seen it coming.
I mean, he constantly cheated on his ex.
He was always with a dental assistant or a hygienist.
He swore he'd changed.
He swore with me he'd be different.
How could I have been so naive? Don't beat yourself up, Jackie.
None of this was your fault.
Not one bit of it.
Now, I have to figure out what to do with my life.
May I make a suggestion? Don't make any major decisions in a depressed state of mind.
- Did you learn that in a fortune cookie? - Come on, you look like you could use a little pick-me-up.
I know just the place to get it.
Come on.
Mom.
Hi, honey.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you.
It's a quarter to 2.
Where have you been? Well I couldn't sleep, so I went down to the pool to think things out, and I ran into Babette.
And I ended up in her room with a half a gram of cocaine.
Oh, Mom.
It was tempting.
It was really tempting.
But That's not the way I'm gonna deal with this.
That's not the way I'm gonna deal with anything ever again.
So I thanked her and I left.
I'm so proud of you.
Yeah, me too.
- You know what? - What? Tonight I realised that no matter what the future brings l'm glad I met Mel.
Because look what I got out of it.
A beautiful baby.
What more could a girl from Ohio ask for? What's gonna happen? I don't know.
I have to talk to Mel, that's for sure.
Maybe we can work through this, maybe we can't, we'll just have to see.
Why do men cheat? Why isn't one woman ever enough? I don't know.
Maybe it's genetic.
Mr.
Walsh? Dottie.
Hi, I know I wasn't supposed to be here until 10, but I've been thinking about you since I woke up this morning, and, well, we need to talk.
Okay.
I don't know where to begin, it's so awkward.
No.
It's okay.
Okay, then I'll just come out and say it.
Maybe it's because your wife's out of town or because we've been working so closely together these last few weeks, but you have to be the most brilliant and compassionate man I've ever met.
And I don't care how old you are I find you incredibly sexy, and I wanna make love to you in the worst way right here, right now.
Dottie, please, we shouldn't be doing this.
I'm a happily married man.
Dottie, please.
You know I love Cindy.
Oh, my God.
This is like a fantasy come true.
Of course, it's a fantasy, you old horn dog.
Haven't you finished reading that book yet? Mr.
Walsh? Mr.
Walsh? Dottie.
Hi, I know I wasn't supposed to be here until 10, but I've been thinking about you all morning and, well, we need to talk.
Okay.
I don't know where to begin, it's so awkward.
Awkward? Okay, then, I'll just come out and say it.
Dottie, we shouldn't be doing this.
I think you better find yourself a new secretary.
What? My boyfriend and I are moving back to Florida next week.
Boyfriend? He got down on his knees and proposed last night.
We're getting married.
Congratulations.
You guys, look what I have here.
Oh, I love free samples.
Now, the pink caps are for normal to dry skin.
Here, try this one.
Andrea, I think you have a year's supply for each of us there.
Well, it's important to be pH balanced.
- Mom, who was on the phone? - That was just your father.
He called to say he loved me.
Well, after 20 years it's nice to know that he still cares.
Need any help? No, I'm all through.
How are you doing? Are you going to be all right? I think so.
I know what I have to do.
And it's not going to be easy but I'm prepared to deal with whatever comes.
Oh, Jackie, I just feel like such a fool.
I mean, here I've been suspicious of Jim all weekend and now you have to deal with the real thing.
That would look good on you.
What about something in red? It's a fabulous colour for you.
I guess I'm just not in a shopping mood today.
Look, Kelly, I know you're worried about your mom, but she's a strong woman, you know that, don't you? Yeah, I do.
- Okay, let's go.
- Okay.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't understand why you're rooting against Minnesota.
I'm not.
I just don't want them to beat the spread.
Oh, no.
God forbid.
Dylan, maybe if you had a little more interest in sports, you wouldn't have spent all weekend worrying about your girl problems.
Thank you, Dr.
Freud.
Hey, if that's Brenda and Kelly, - tell them to stop over.
- Yeah? How much money you got on this game? What? Turn on Channel 6.
There's under a minute left.
Turn it on.
Convicted financier Jack McKay is being released from federal prison after having served just two years of a ten-year sentence.
His early parole has caught most people in both the business and the law enforcement community by surprise.
The reaction has been mixed.
How come you didn't tell us about this, man? I didn't know.
Right now, let's take a look at a story our Lifestyle editor has found in the Valley.
We'll be back with that right after weather.
