Nerdy Little Secrets

Previously on 90210: I think you're funny and smart.
I think you're hot too.
We have to keep this on the down low.
- It could really hurt my reputation.
- I was thinking the exact same thing.
- Are you okay? - I might have smoked some pot.
- You smoke? Since when? - Since I realised that it really helps me get back into the water after my accident.
What kind of person goes behind their friend's back and starts sleeping with their boyfriend? She didn't do it, it was me.
I'm the one who cheated with Navid.
- You bitch.
- Guys! Hey, guys! I want our friendship back.
- Break up with him.
- I can't.
We've been friends for too long to let a guy come in between us.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
- Naomi.
- Hi.
Hey.
Wow.
- I think you dislocated my scapula.
- Oh Hey, you.
Out, now.
Don't wash your hands.
You don't need to, use hand sanitizer.
Go.
Girl's bathroom, how taboo.
Well, I needed a kiss before class.
- Anybody in there? - It's occupied.
- Oh, I got you a present.
- What? Oh, come on.
A shirt.
Wow.
It's nice.
It's not nice, it's Gucci.
It's amazing, but it's not exactly my style.
No offence, but your style sucks.
"Geology rocks"? Honey, I don't think so.
Look, Naomi, if I start swanning around in Gucci, my friends are gonna know something's up.
So we have to be careful if we wanna keep our relationship on the DL.
Fine, you're probably right.
Can't be flaunting it around school, but you could wear it this weekend.
Why don't I get a suite at some hotel? We'll go swimming, get massages, order whipped cream.
- And you can eat it - I can't, I can't.
- What, are you lactose intolerant? - No.
But it's the annual Academic Invitational this weekend.
I'm the captain of the West Bev team.
- You're such a nerd.
- What can I say? What about tonight? I have whipped cream at home.
I'm in study mode for the invitational right now, and my teammate Alex and I are cramming all night.
Okay, fine.
Have your little cram fest with Alex.
But next weekend you are mine.
- Come on, open the door.
- It's a deal.
- It's occupied.
- It's occupied.
- What is going on? - I'm gonna call a teacher.
- Hey, baby.
- Whoa.
What do you think? Uh, heh, heh.
- I think you have bright orange hair.
- It's so cool, right? I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror and was like, "I need a change.
" It's definitely a change.
- It's different.
- Different, huh? Would that be different "amazing"? Or different "fabulous"? - I'd have to go with different amazing.
- Oh, why, thank you.
- Oh, my God.
Who did this to you? - I did it myself.
Okay, the most important thing is do not panic.
Do you still have the package? You have a lawsuit on your hands.
- No.
- Yes.
We're gonna sue the jackasses who did this to you.
But before that, I'm gonna go search the lost and found for a hat.
- Don't even listen to her.
- Please.
She is jealous because she can't pull it off like I can.
Hang on one sec.
Hello.
Yes, this is Erin Silver.
It's the NYU rep.
Absolutely.
Three o'clock, yes.
Yes, I know the Beach Club.
Sure, absolutely.
Thank you, bye.
Oh, my God.
I have my NYU alumni interview tomorrow.
- Oh, my God.
- You're gonna be amazing.
- But what about your hair? - What about my hair? Well, it's just It's a serious interview and You know what? You look great, it's totally fine.
Just go for it.
- Thanks.
Aah! - You're gonna be great.
Nice.
Dude, really? What about this one? Oh, come on.
"Dog walker" is just a fancy way of saying "pooper scooper.
" I wonder if anyone's hiring one of those sign twirlers.
You'd be cute twirling a sign.
This is so hard.
If I can't find a job soon, I'm never gonna be able to afford going to college.
Check this one out.
"Personal assistant.
Looking for bright, self-motivated person with great organizational skills, in Hollywood Hills.
Discretion a must.
" Oh, my God.
"Hollywood Hills," "discretion," that is totally a famous person.
Really? I don't know.
No, I read about it all the time in tabloids.
Celebrities get you to sign agreements so you don't spill their dirt to the press.
Yet, you're reading about it, in the tabloids.
Whatever.
You will be jealous when I'm hanging poolside with George Clooney.
Ha-ha-ha.
Right.
Also in sports, girls-softball hurler Karen Franklin pitched what would have been a no-hitter were it not for the mighty bat of Malibu's Lacy O'Connell.
And still the Lady Wildcats were victorious and remain undefeated as they enter postseason play.
In other news, this weekend, our academic invitational team competes in Oxnard hoping to bring home the gold once again.
Now an exclusive sneak peak at the brains behind the legend.
Hi, I'm Max.
My passions are biology and astrophysics.
I'm the captain of the Academic Invitational Team.
Shh! We've been state champs for two years running, and this weekend we're going for a three-peat.
So put your hands together, give a loud West Bev cheer for your team.
Oh, hi.
Heh, ooh.
My name's Gilbert.
Art history and archaeology are my interests.
Hi, I'm Allen, and chemistry is my bag.
And I'm Alex.
I love literature and history.
That's Alex? Together, we're going to bring home the title.
Go Wildcats.
Now, you have a good day at school, sweetie.
- I don't wanna go.
- Come on, I'll walk you in.
Come on, is it that awful? Uh, yeah, Raj.
It's high school, okay? It's totally and utterly boring.
It's way more boring now that I'm not smoking pot anymore.
Yeah, I hear you.
- Still, I'm proud of you.
- Whatever.
Yo! Hey, hey.
What's up, Raj? What's up, Ivy? - Hello.
- How you doing, Dixon? Hey, man, I'm living the dream.
- I'm living the dream, guys.
- Whatever.
See, now why can't you have some of Dixon's positive go-get-them energy? Because I'm cool, Raj.
Because I got better things to do with my life than just school.
Oh, hey, speaking of which.
Know how Hurley is coming to town this weekend for that competition? They're scouting women for the team.
- Yeah, I heard something about that.
- I signed you up.
I'm sorry, you what? I know I should have asked you first, but there were only a few slots left, so Well, dude, you thought wrong.
I'm Raj, I'm not into that.
I'm not I'm not interested.
Ivy, you make the team, and you're gonna be travelling the world in like two months.
Surfing the best waves, living your dreams.
- Why wouldn't you want that? - Because maybe I'm not a sellout.
Maybe I don't need to sell my soul just to get a free trip to Bali.
Okay.
All right, my bad.
Sorry.
- Hi, guys.
- Hey.
Sorry I'm late, I had to tutor some freshman.
No worries.
Did anyone else get the apple pie? - It's pretty good.
- That does look good.
Psst! Hey.
- What's up, Naomi? - Hey.
What do you know about that girl Alex? Alex Scarborough? She's brilliant.
Like a bona fide genius.
Not when it comes to fashion.
Word is she's still deciding between Oxford and Harvard.
Yeah, she fences, she plays chess.
She's like a Tom Brady of the academic invitational team.
What exactly is the academic invitational thingy? It's pretty intense.
All the smartest kids from the state compete at Oxnard Pacific every year.
- Sounds lame.
- Yeah, well, you think so, but it's notorious for actually having the craziest after-parties.
- What? - Uh, guess that's what happens when you put all those repressed overachievers in one hotel.
Oh, and I hear everybody hooks up and gets wasted.
It's crazy.
It's like one big nerd orgy.
- Not interested.
- I'm sorry? Well, you're selling Girl Scout cookies? No.
Uh, I'm Annie.
I'm here for the job interview.
We spoke on the phone.
Of course we did.
I'm Marla.
Nice meeting you.
Whoa.
This place is very interesting.
Interesting? Well, that's an interesting choice of words.
It's a mess.
Well, you know, uh, it's just certainly well-lived in.
Please, sit.
So, uh, you're looking for a personal assistant? That's a little euphemistic.
Really what I need is someone to get my affairs in order.
I have years worth of junk here.
And some things, believe it or not, are not junk.
I need the whole place organised, catalogued and cleaned.
Oh, uh, okay.
- Are you an honest person? - Yes.
- Do you do drugs? - No.
- I don't.
- You're hired.
Oh.
There's something about you that I like.
And quite frankly, no one else applied, so the job is yours.
I'll give you a thousand a week.
- A thousand dollars? - No, yen.
Yes, dollars.
Do you want the job or not? Yeah.
Ha, ha.
Yeah, I want the job.
Okay, what about this one? To a college interview? Okay.
Then how about just this one? Yeah? - Are you serious? - Yes, I'm serious, I'm I wanna be an artist.
It's okay for me to look artistic.
I'm applying to film school, not law school.
And certainly not hair-dressing school.
Ha, ha.
You love it.
You are wound up about this interview, aren't you? Uh, yeah.
But I'm all prepared.
Well, practically.
What do I have to do? I have to finish burning the DVD's of my reel.
I have to print off my portfolio and fill my scooter with gas.
How about this one? You love this one, right? You're gonna wear a leopard print to a college interview? I just might.
- Hey, girls.
- Hey, I'm so glad you're here.
I need help picking out my outfit for the interview, okay? And what do you think? She did it to herself on purpose, so there's no one to sue.
- You like it? - I love it.
- It is so you.
- Yeah? Come here.
Thanks.
Okay, West Beverly, with a lead of 84 to 80 as we enter the final speed round, you select the next topic.
From which arena would you prefer to answer questions? Mediaeval poetry or biology? - Biology, please.

- That is correct.
- Yes.

For the third year in a row, West Beverly Hills High School advances to the finals.
Congratulations, Wildcats.
You were great.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So how's George? Fantastic.
Yeah? You guys hanging poolside? Oh, yeah, you know, Matt and Brad just came by.
We've all been chilling.
I think we're gonna go to Lake Cuomo soon.
Ooh.
Now I'm getting jealous.
Please, I've been cleaning all afternoon and I still have not made a dent in all the junk that this lady has.
I swear she makes the Grey Gardens chicks look like Martha Stewart.
- Hang in there, okay? - Mm.
Yeah.
I mean, for a grand a week, I'll do whatever the packrat wants.
I'm just not sure how she can afford it.
I mean, I guess it's from not having a cleaning lady for 50 years.
You okay? I made a mess.
Like that's even possible in this place.
- I'll call you later, okay? - All right.
Hey, enjoy Lake Cuomo.
All right, ciao.
Ha, ha.
Oh, my Aw, ha.
Cool.
What are you doing? Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
I was looking for a broom and then I saw the box, and I was looking at your things.
- Well, don't.
- I just I mean, I can't believe it.
You were on the cover of LIFE Magazine.
- I mean, you're famous.
- I used to be.
I used to be Marla Templeton.
I can't believe that you're an actress.
I'm an actress too.
Well, aspiring anyway.
Yes, I thought you might be.
This town is lousy with aspiring actors and actresses.
Ha.
Everyone who parks your car or serves you a salad is wanting to be an actor.
Yet very few people bother learning to act.
Yeah, well, that's what I'm hoping to do.
That's why I need this job actually.
I really wanna go to college and study acting.
Well, good luck to you.
It's not an easy career, but it can be quite interesting.
Interesting sounds good to me.
I just wanna learn.
Um, I saw that picture with you and the guy from Easy Rider, Peter Fonda.
Were you guys friends? "Friends," uh, you could say that.
Good old Peter.
There was a time when Peter and I had a standing date every Thursday night at Musso & Frank.
What's Musso and Frank? "What's Musso and Frank?" You really do have a lot to learn.
I bet you can't juggle while reciting pi.
What, do you think I am, a moron? Hey.
Oh, hell no.
Housekeeping.
Stay the hell away from him.
Naomi Clark, what are you doing here? Yeah, what are you doing here? I'm here to stop you from boinking this little whore.
Memorize this, you brainy slut, if you don't stay away from my boyfriend, I will send your head to Oxford and the rest of your corpse to Cambridge.
- But - But nothing.
If you so much as look at him again, you're dead.
- Naomi? - Oh, my God.
Come on, what are you? Alex.
Stop.
Alex? Alex.
What is your problem? What's my problem? What is your problem, Max? What exactly were the two of you planning to do in here, huh? Study.
Look around, Naomi.
You were gonna study? Yeah.
This is our team's room.
We came in here to cram because we made it to the finals.
Congratulations.
Naomi, how could you think that Alex and l? Because I'm going crazy, okay? Because of the sneaking around and the lying.
And not being able to tell anybody that we're together.
It's messing with my head.
I can't take it, l Maybe we should just break-up.
Uh, what the hell just happened? Uh, there was just a misunderstanding.
Did you talk to Alex, where is she? Getting in her mom's car.
Driving back to L.
A.
- What? - I tried to reason with her, but for the first time, Alex was highly irrational.
- Alex quit? - Final round starts imminently.
If we don't have a fourth, we'll be disqualified.
Okay, okay.
Look, don't freak.
Um There's some guys here from West Bev, - one of them could fill in - You know the rules, each team needs a female.
There are no females here to watch us.
We're totally screwed.
What are you all looking at me for? Welcome, everyone, to the Dominguez Hills High versus West Beverly High.
- Captains, are your teams ready? - We are ready.
Uh, we're ready too.
This is a huge mistake.
I don't know the state capitals.
I definitely don't know the presidents.
Frankly, I don't understand gravity.
I pretend to, but I don't.
I think it has to do with apples.
Listen to me.
You don't have to say a word, okay? Today's final round category from World History is Empires and Colonies.
And by the draw, West Bev is first up.
Here you go.
"Historians generally agree that this empire is considered the first of the modern era.
" West Bev answering.
Oh, I'm sorry, Your Honour.
That was an accident.
I need an answer.
Um Rome? Incorrect.
Dominguez Hills? - That would be the Akkadian Empire.
- That is correct.
What is the South Pacific territory that has resisted becoming independent from New Zealand? No, no, no.
This is Raj.
Leave a message.
Um, hey, it's me.
Um, I'm here.
Where you at? You know, it's dangerous to leave me alone with all this food.
So I hope you're on your way and I guess I'll see you soon.
Bye.
Help! Help me! Somebody help! Hey Hey, you guys, I think I think somebody needs help out there.
- Help! - Will somebody help? Help! Help! Help! Raj? What are you doing? Are you okay? I'm fine.
Ivy, you did it, you're in the water.
But You Oh, my God.
I cannot believe you.
Ivy, what? Ivy.
Ivy, wait.
My God.
What is wrong with you? - Did you just trick me? - Ivy No, do you realise how psychotic that is? You just pretended to drown, Raj.
I mean, God, how stupid do you have to be? I just wanted you to get back in the water.
You did it.
You got back in the water.
What makes you think I didn't want to get in the water? Well, the other day after you acted so weird about the competition, I spoke to Dixon and he told me everything.
- Did he? - Look, Ivy, I'm sorry.
But I know you, Ivy, you're a surfer, and now you can surf.
I mean, I was doing something for the greater good here.
Screw you, Raj.
- Ivy - Enjoy the picnic.
Oh, thank you, Manny.
Happy Birthday to you, a martini for you.
- Just what I needed.
- And for you.
Mm, we're going to have two New York steaks, medium rare, and a side of creamed spinach.
Would you like a baked potato with that? - Sure.
- Sour cream and chives and butter? Just bring it on.
That's what Bette Davis used to order.
You ate with Bette Davis? No.
How old do you think I am? Don't answer that.
When I first started coming here in the '60s, this place was already a legend.
That's why we liked it.
We were fascinated with old Hollywood.
- Me too.
- So I gathered.
- I didn't mean - Oh, Annie, I'm just teasing you.
So you used to come here with Peter Fonda? Sure, sure, but everyone came here.
Cassavetes and I used to split an egg salad sandwich and plot how we were going to make the leap from theatre to film.
You hung out with John Cassavetes? Sure, I did.
It was an interesting time.
Oh, the stories I could tell you.
Please tell them.
Tell Tell me everything.
Teach me.
Excuse me.
Oh, it's just my mom, I'll press "ignore.
" What? Don't ignore your mother.
Oh, it's no big deal.
You're gonna learn from me? Lesson one: Don't ignore your mother.
Okay, I'll be right back.
Hi, Mom.
No, I'm good.
I'm great actually.
Hi.
Are you Christopher Smith? I am.
- You must be Erin Silver.
- I'm sorry, hi.
Nice to meet you.
You can call me Silver, all my friends do.
Not that I think we're friends, but I hope we will be.
Anyway, I'm so sorry I'm late.
- It's all right, I'm glad I waited.
- I'm so sorry.
- I ran out of gas and then I ran.
- You ran? Nearly a mile.
Like I was in Run Lola Run.
You certainly got the hair for it.
- You a fan of that movie? - I loved it.
Well, I mean, I'm a Tom Twyker fan in general.
I liked Perfume a lot and I thought the movie was better than the book.
And now Twyker is directing Cloud Atlas, and that's gonna be one tough book to top.
- You read Cloud Atlas? - More like I devoured it.
You know what's weird? David Mitchell wrote a novel called Black Swan Green, right? And the star of Black Swan, the movie, is Natalie Portman, who I hear is supposed to be starring in Cloud Atlas.
That is interesting.
What did you think of Black Swan? Well, normally, I am not such an Aronofsky fan, he's too melodramatic for my taste, but in this case, I thought the melodrama totally suited the story.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Oh, this place is so beautiful.
Everything's so old.
I said, "everything," not "everyone.
" - What are you doing? - I'm sorry? How dare you just sit right next to me.
Marla? What are you, a stalker or something? What? It's me, Annie, I work for you.
I've been cleaning your house and I'm organising your things.
Annie.
Are you okay? Getting old is a bitch, Annie.
Anyway Cassavetes, he was a real character all right.
He started out as an actor, you know.
Not just any old type of actor, a method actor.
Which would have been fine except for the type of roles he played.
So it all comes down to this final question worth ten points.
West Beverly, if you are correct, you'll be victorious, but if you're wrong, we will have a new state champion on our hands.
St.
Barthelemy, otherwise known as St.
Barts, is a Caribbean island owned by the French.
In St.
Barts' coat of arms, what non-French language appears in the bottom banner? You have 30 seconds.
- Oh, I know this one.
- Oh, come on, Naomi.
No, I used to vacation there all the time.
I was hanging out on beach, topless, waiting for my masseuse.
- Naomi.
- No, hear me out, okay? Being topless is not a big deal, my masseuse is Pierre and he's gay.
But this Olaf guy shows up, blond, beefy, totally straight.
So I throw a fit, right? But eventually we start talking, and I ask him how some guy named Olaf ends up in the Caribbean.
And he tells me how his ancestors settled there years ago.
And he said, I remember clear as day, that the island used to be a Swedish colony, and so the answer is Swedish.
Before the modern era, the island was inhabited by indigenous peoples.
I say Amerindian.
There's historical precedence for this.
Amerindian.
It doesn't make sense.
It's Swedish, Max.
Five seconds.
That would be, uh That would be That would be Swedish.
That would be incorrect.
The correct answer is Amerindian.
Congratulations, Dominguez Hills High, our new state champion.
Thanks for nothing.
There you go.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- So how'd it go? - Amazing.
I just had the best interview that you could possibly imagine.
I mean, seriously imagine the best interview ever.
Mine was better.
- Ha-ha-ha.
That sounds great.
- It was beyond great, it was It was stupendous, Navid.
It was me and this alumni guy, Christopher, we just We sat down and we talked for hours.
I'm going to NYU.
Seriously, I nailed it.
Gotta go, I'm gonna call you back later.
I have so much stuff to do.
Bye.
Leave a message.
Hi, Christopher.
Uh, this is Erin Silver.
I just wanted to call and say what a pleasure it was to meet you today.
I mean, you really inspired me.
Like, it just Anyway, thank you.
I hope that I talk to you soon.
Okay, bye.
Leave a message.
Christopher, me again.
Hey, um Got another question for you.
I was thinking about NYU and I need your opinion.
Do I need to live in a dorm, or should I just live somewhere off campus? Let me know.
Thanks, bye.
- Leave a message.
- Christopher, Silver again, hey.
I just had another thought about Black Swan, which is what we were talking about today.
By the way, that was the coolest thing to meet you.
I know I already said that.
You know how when Nina is looking at her doppelgänger in that one scene where she's, like, in the dance studio looking in the mirror? I don't understand how they shot that.
And by the way, the whole Ivy Sullivan does it again.
Gnarly wave, Miss Sullivan.
Go, Ivy.
- Hey, sweet ride.
- Thanks.
- Good job, Ivy.
- All right.
- Hey, nice ride out there.
- Thanks.
Hey, Ivy.
Tyler Crawford, I'm with Hurley.
- Hey.
- Are you sponsored? No.
No, I just You know, like school tournaments and stuff.
I have a feeling that's gonna change soon.
You're good, like real good.
We'll be in contact.
Okay, cool.
Thanks, man.
Hey, Raj.
You're here.
So are you.
I watched you.
You were awesome.
I was okay.
And I was stupid and you were right.
Yeah, well, maybe it was a good stupid thing you did.
- Really? - I guess.
I mean, yeah, I was scared this morning, but I knew I could do it.
So I just said, "Screw you, fear," and then I did it.
Would it be sappy of me to say that I am proud of you? Yeah, maybe a little bit.
- Well, I don't care.
I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
I'm sorry, Ivy.
I'm really sorry.
Next time you fake me out like that, I'm gonna let you drown.
- Oh, yeah? - No, no, I'm gonna make you drown.
I'm gonna drown you like you're some little kitten or something.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You want a ride to school? - Oh, I'm actually already at Marla's.
I had first period off, so I thought I'd get a few hours in.
- Okay, how's she doing? - Better, better.
I don't know what yesterday was, but she seems to be herself again.
She's pretty amazing, you know.
I was watching one of her old movies online last night and she totally blew me away.
- Well, that's cool.
- She is pretty cool.
Okay.
Good, I'm glad you guys are bonding.
I'm less jealous than I would be if it was George Clooney.
- See you at school? - All right, I'll see you later.
In third place, Amy Armstrong.
In second place, Sabrina Finnegan.
And in first place, Ivy Sullivan.
- Hello? - Dr.
Harris' office.
Hi.
Uh, this is Raj Kher.
And, um, I'm calling because I wanted to schedule my post-chemo checkup.
Okay, it says here you were due for a checkup two months ago.
We've been calling you every week.
Yeah, I know.
And I've been avoiding your calls every week, but I think I'm ready now.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm really sorry I made a mess out of everything this weekend.
I'm an idiot, as if you didn't already know that.
You're not an idiot.
Um, there's something I have to tell you.
Um, after the invitational, there's this famous party that takes place at the hotel.
I went to it and it was pretty nuts.
There were a lot of girls there, you know, I mean, just acting wild and blowing off steam.
Yeah? And, well, I was surrounded by all these girls, but all I could think about was you.
Really? Really.
I wanna be with you, Naomi.
And I'm sick of all this sneaking around too.
You're my girl, and I want everyone to know that.
So What do you say? You wanna be my, like, official girlfriend? I know with my track record you may not believe me, but I happen to know the answer to this question.
As long as you don't say "Swedish.
" The answer is hell, yes.
