Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s04e22 Episode Script

Hey, that's not dog food.
Kelly, got your mosquito repellant all ready for the big retreat weekend? - All set.
- Good.
- What did Dylan say? - Well, about what? - Me being your trophy date? - I prefer the term first lady.
Well, it's not his decision, - but we do have his blessing.
- Good.
I assured him that we'd be surrounded by distinguished chaperons.
Surrounded is the right word.
Chancellor will be there, Dean Trimble, leader types from a dozen campuses.
Wall-to-wall overachievers.
We'll fit right in.
- What's that? - That is none of your business.
- A little secret? - Yeah, a housewarming gift for Steve.
- Oh, in that case, spare me.
- Okay.
I gotta go, we're doing monogamy in Lucinda Nicholson's class.
Pro or con? I can't imagine her having anything good to say, but I'll let you know.
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
Gentlemen, I give to you the guardian angel of single rooms everywhere.
- Oh, Jane.
- Mrs.
Turner, huh? - Fierce.
- Fierce.
You don't know how lucky you are to have this place.
Oh, yes, I do.
It became very clear to me that I was not going to see much action sharing a room with three pledglings.
Wait a minute, guys, I thought that KEG was the ultimate love den.
Yeah, if your girlfriend's into sex as a spectator sport.
I'm sure Steve would be happy to loan his new digs to a brother in need of a little privacy.
Oh, I'm sorry, guys.
My deal here does not include subletting this place by the hour.
Artie, don't you ever get sick of that song? I'm trying to find out.
You've listened to that Is this some experiment to see if you can drive me crazy? I didn't know you were there.
Guys, this is Kathy Fisher, Andrea's resident advisor.
- Hi.
- Hi, Kathy.
Kathy, could you move a little to the left, please? And could you hold this? Look, I'm only two doors away and I can hear everything that goes on here.
- Kathy, come on, we're just - I'm warning you.
There's no way this floor is turning into the KEG House annex.
And you can tell Andrea that.
No, I'll call her myself.
Don't pretend you didn't see the resemblance.
Artie, would it have killed you to go 30 seconds without pissing her off? I'm trying to keep this place.
Yeah, everything's ruined.
Muntz.
Listen, guys, this was my fault.
Next time, I'll bring you the periodic table of the elements.
So historically, very few cultures have saddled themselves with this notion of till death do us part.
Instead, people tended toward something Margaret Mead called serial monogamy.
Which is what? Anyone? It's the idea that we take different partners for different phases of our lives.
One for sex when we're young, one to father our children, and one for companionship as we grow older.
Right.
And unlike most academics, Margaret Mead put her money where her mouth is.
That's exactly what she did in her own life.
Where's the end? I mean, why not just have someone new every year? I've tried it.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Well, let me leave you with one radical thought.
Monogamy is sleeping with one person at a time.
Have a good weekend.
So which one of those partners am I? Nat's your partner.
You coming to the Peach Pit? - Yeah, I'll catch up with you.
- Okay.
What are you doing here? You weren't supposed to hear that.
Well, then I'm glad I did.
That was quite some finale, teach.
A little sensational, I know.
But whatever it takes to bring them back next week.
Thank you for letting me read your grant proposal.
- And what'd you think? - Oh, I don't know.
I think it's presumptuous of me to pass judgment on your doctoral thesis.
You didn't like it.
Quite the contrary.
I was pretty amazed.
I'd like to see that film sometime.
Oh, I don't know if that's such a great idea.
The film is very unfinished.
Well, isn't that the point? You need money to finish it.
You two have no idea how weird this is.
I mean, hitting up an undergrad for a grant to finish my thesis How's tomorrow? Well, I'll be off with the brain trust for higher education, but you guys go ahead.
Okay, I'll book a room.
I'll be there.
Why do I feel like everything Lucinda says is targeted right at me? Everyone does.
She's trying to be thought-provoking.
Good thing Andrea was at the doctor, she would have had a miscarriage.
Oh, come on, it's interesting stuff.
The descent of women to our present pathetic status.
Hey, if you had just said "I do" to Stuart, you would be a queen.
More like a paid mistress.
No, I definitely called that one right.
No regrets? Well, maybe one.
After Stuart showed his true colors last weekend and Dylan had to come pick me up in Palm Springs, somehow, on the way home, I ended up telling Dylan that I still had a thing for him.
You did what? I know, I can't believe it myself, but what can I say? It was a long ride home, and I guess I was feeling sorry for myself.
You know, I think we're being stalked.
I think you're right.
He looks hungry, doesn't he? Oh, dogs always look hungry.
That's their job.
Hi.
Come here, I got something for you in here, yeah.
Look, look.
What's that? Here, that's right.
Come on.
Oh, see, he is hungry.
He'd have to be hungry to eat that stuff.
He's a pretty cool dog.
Do you think he belongs to anyone? I'm afraid so, that's a pretty serious-looking collar, but there's no tags.
Well, goodbye, Mr.
Dog.
That's my seat.
Donna, what are you doing? He wants to go for a ride.
You just can't take off with someone else's dog.
Well, we'll bring him back.
Come on, get in.
- Donna.
- Okay, fine, you tell him he can't go.
Come on, little fella.
Not today.
See? He's a genius.
Well, he understands the meaning of the word no.
Okay, I will tell you exactly what Kathy's message said.
"The KEG cancer is not spreading through Marlow Hall.
" Does the word unbalanced come to mind, Andrea? Steve, Kathy's not the point here.
You and I made a deal and you broke it.
- I guess I did.
- There's no guessing about it.
I said you could use my room if you laid low and instead, you antagonize the resident advisor.
- I'm sorry.
- I hope so.
Because I'm not gonna lose my room on campus over this.
You can stay there.
But no more visitors from KEG House, understand? Okay, I promise.
Good.
Hey, Andrea, how did it go at the doctor's? Great, I saw my first baby picture.
You wanna see? Yeah.
Here.
Oh, so that's what an ultrasound looks like.
Wow, looks kind of blurry, but it's incredible-looking.
Look, isn't that amazing? See, that's the head.
Jesse and I saw him on the monitor, moving.
So it's a boy.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know why I called it a him.
I think it's a boy.
Now, to me it looks like a girl.
Steve, tiebreaker? I think it looks like a megaburger.
- You're disgusting.
- I could just be hungry.
Guess what, you guys.
I got the weekend job at the campus medical research lab.
You're really on a roll.
Yeah, and the woman I'm gonna be working for is supposed to be a first-rate researcher.
Plus, she has children, so she understands.
Well, with the baby on the way, I thought you'd wanna do less, not more.
Well, it is for the baby.
We have to save money for our little friend here.
Hey, hey, stop that dog.
Stop that dog.
See, I told you he was a genius.
- Donna, when did you get a dog? - Just now.
Hey, wait a second.
He might prefer living at Casa Walsh.
Hey, you didn't even want him before.
No, I didn't wanna abduct him.
Well, you know what wise old King Solomon would say.
Cut him in two, give each half.
That passed for wise? Then.
Get the dog out, will you? Looks like the dog's already chosen.
Oh, come on, Bren, please.
Okay, but I get visiting rights.
You know, babe, you are backward in your tube culture.
Yeah, well, for an academic, I'm way ahead.
It's a miracle I've got cable.
Yeah, let's see, we've done Home Shopping, done public access Neither of us speak Korean.
Oh, look, we're just in time for the week's five biggest saves on the Hockey Channel.
Do you know what I miss least about my ex-husband? His devotion to sports.
Right.
So are you gonna miss me this weekend while I'm gone? Well, luckily I'll have Dylan to fill my idle hours.
- Brandon, I was kidding.
- So you won't be seeing Dylan? Is this for real? I'll be seeing him to try to get him to finance my movie.
I'll show him the film, make him a meal, and hope he's impressed.
Let me guess, something spicy and Guatemalan.
Oh, God, you really think the world of me, don't you? Look, I'm sorry, okay? It's not you.
It just seems like lately every time I get something I want, along comes Dylan with his money and Brandon, I'm not some trading card.
And I really don't like this petty jealousy.
Well, what do you expect? We spend most of our time together pretending we're not together.
Same for me, but I don't turn green because you're out of town with Kelly.
Well, maybe you should, it might be nice.
I think it's time I left.
Brandon.
If you're gonna be away all weekend, don't you wanna stay now? No.
- Yeah.
- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do.
Yes, you do.
- No, I All right, I do.
No.
You know when they say a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's? I don't think this is what they had in mind.
Here, come here.
I'll get you something good.
No.
Here.
What? Well, I guess he's a Rachmaninoff fan too.
So that's what we'll call him.
Sergei Rachmaninoff? Rocky.
You guys, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but don't you think we should find his owner before we all get too attached to him? Well, I'm putting the posters up today.
They're over there on the table.
Donna, it looks more like you lost a dog than found a dog.
And it doesn't really look like him.
Well, I did the best I could.
Well What are you looking at? This shaved spot on his chest, what is this? Yeah, there's one right there too.
Well, maybe it's nothing.
Yeah.
So how goes the fight to get more teaching hours out of senior faculty? Could be a major victory this weekend.
The dean's already on our side, and I think the chancellor's ready to cave in.
Hey, that was fast.
Well, Kelly and I worked him like a tag team at the Regent's Reception last week.
I didn't know Kelly was on the task force.
She's not.
She just came with me as my date.
- Your date? - Brandon, we're here.
Dad, explain the date concept to your wife for me, will you? Parts of this may shock you, Mom.
Kelly is going with you on the retreat? That's that date concept again.
Oh, this must be the genius dog Brenda was talking about.
- Hey, buddy.
- Yes, we named him Rocky.
- Oh, as in Rambo? - As in Rachmaninoff.
- He is a musical genius.
- I'm sure he is.
So, Kelly, you're going off to this retreat with Brandon? Yup.
It's getting so he can't leave home without me.
Mrs.
Walsh, will you look at this, please? Here.
Good, Rocky.
That is strange.
Jim, look at that.
Do you think he was abused? No, but it looks like he was operated on.
Or abducted by aliens for some heinous experiment.
I'm serious.
Do you think he's okay? Well, he looks just fine, but a visit to the vet might be a good idea.
When will Brenda be back? She should be back in about ten minutes.
Well, you guys have to say goodbye for us.
We gotta get out of here.
- Bye.
- Bye, have fun.
Yo, later, Rocko.
Bye.
- Want some orange juice? - Great, thanks.
Come on, up, up.
Up.
- Muntz.
- Studying? Actually, I'm reeling.
Would you believe that a male produces 100 million sperm a day? Well, it kind of explains everything, doesn't it? Come on, the commandant down the hall doesn't like me making noise in here, all right? I gotta keep it quiet.
Well, hang tough, man.
This is a palace.
Yeah, some mood lighting, maybe a couple dancing girls, this place would be all right.
It's definitely a lot better than KEG House.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
- You met my girlfriend, Sherry, right? - Yeah.
Well, she's finally starting to get amorous.
All right.
Look, I'd love to help you out, but I'm sorry.
Andrea made me promise, no KEG scene here.
Oh, man, we've been going out for two years, and I'm finally in position to score.
Two years? You've been going out for two years and you still haven't slept with this girl? Muntz, are you a virgin? And I'm always gonna be unless I get a little private time.
Come on, man, it's a noble cause.
Please? Okay, we'll be very quiet.
I doubt that.
Boy, when they said relaxed setting, they weren't kidding.
God, I'm having flashbacks to my summer camp days.
Well, you must feel right at home, then.
Actually, I don't understand what it is I'm supposed to do Do what you do best, dear.
Wow the chancellor, charm the dean.
That's not what I do best.
Well, looks like seminars till 5, and then fun and games.
Oh, it really is summer camp.
Look, girls' and boys' cabins.
It's all right, dear, we'll only be separated for one night.
Oh, no.
They're having a square dance.
Brandon, Kelly.
Dean, chancellor.
- Good to see you guys.
- Glad we found you.
- Likewise.
Isn't this place beautiful? - Brandon.
Yeah, I'm just waiting for someone to start singing "Kumbaya.
" Exactly.
This is my daughter Clare.
Clare, this is Kelly Taylor and Brandon Walsh.
Hi.
You guys are totally opposite of what I expected.
- How so? - Well, my dad said you were very cool.
So, naturally, I expected the worst.
Kelly, I asked them to put you and Clare in the same cabin.
- I hope that's all right.
- It's fine by me.
I think he's counting on you to be my chaperon.
And I'll be counting on you to be hers.
I warned you, it's just raw footage, okay? Looks great.
Why the parade? It's a kind of wedding march.
See, the entire community checks out the house that the bride and groom built together.
It's a symbol of their commitment.
So if it doesn't pass muster, the wedding doesn't take place.
How are they making out? All systems go.
There's the happy couple.
Oh, look at them.
They're beautiful.
That's all anyone really wants, is to be happy.
We drive ourselves crazy.
Oh, I think happiness is overrated.
And I think it's all we've got to go by.
Sometimes, I walk around campus and I see people, and I ask myself, "Why are they smiling?" Yeah, but then you meet someone that's found something in life or they're searching, and you think, "I want this, what this person has.
I wanna be fully alive.
" Sorry, that was a little out there.
What are you thinking about? I'm wondering, have you ever had a feast prepared in the spicy tapizca style of the Ixtu Paca tribe of Guatemala? No.
You're in for a real treat.
Hello, I'm the new camper, Brandon Walsh, California University.
No kidding.
That's where I go.
Josh, what are you doing here? You're not on the task force.
No, I'm just covering the event for the Condor.
So I was hoping we could talk.
I've got a few questions.
So I hear, my friends tell me you've been badgering them for dirt on me.
Come on, you were a newspaperman before you became our fearless leader.
- You know, I'm just doing my job.
- Right.
Anyway, I'm through with your friends.
All I need now is maybe half an hour with you.
- Do your worst.
- Okay.
Your pal Steve Sanders was caught breaking into Cory Randall's office.
What did you have on Randall to get him to drop the charges? Is this what you've been bothering my friends with, Josh? I didn't have anything on Randall.
I tutored his favorite jock.
So when my best friend got into a little trouble with a fraternity prank, Randall cut him some slack.
It's hardly a conspiracy.
Are you friends with Randall's ex-wife? Listen, I don't mind questions as long as they have something to do with me.
So you wouldn't know what or who caused her to get a divorce? Why are you doing this? Honestly? Because I don't like you.
Yeah, well the feeling's mutual.
Sure you don't need some help in there? Why? Are you getting bored? No, I'm not getting bored.
I'm getting paranoid with all these eyes staring at me, you know? So this is the authentic harvest feast? Yes and no.
To me, a feast is as much the ceremony as the food.
So, what, are you gonna sacrifice a virgin goat or something? We need an attitude adjustment.
Plus some candles.
As our ancestors did in remembrance of the first harvest the earth gave up, we give thanks to the four corners.
Earth water animals, and the universe which is man.
The light of the candles is the light of the sun.
Warm and generous and full of life.
Anyway, something like that.
Do you believe it? I don't know what I believe anymore.
Earth, water, animals, I get.
But man is still a mystery to me.
I'm glad Kelly introduced us.
You know she's my girlfriend.
I also know you wouldn't be here right now if you didn't wanna be.
Did you hear me say, "I don't want to be here?" Well sex doesn't get any safer than when your girlfriend's out of town.
Brandon, try to relax.
We're supposed to be communing with nature here.
Oh, I just never should've let Richland get to me.
Now he'll never let up.
- Well, he is the world's biggest jerk.
- Yes, he is.
You know, I'll bet you he finessed our rooming setup just in case I talk in my sleep.
So what? It's not like you have anything to hide.
I wouldn't say that.
Oh, right, our masquerade, I forgot.
Big deal.
It's a little more than that, Kel.
What is it? Lucinda Nicholson, your teacher.
She's my Well, girlfriend isn't exactly the right word.
Oh, my God.
I had no idea.
So that's why you suddenly needed me as a decoy.
Yes.
I didn't wanna drag you into this.
I hope you're not insulted.
No, I'm surprised.
And I'm impressed.
Well, nobody else would be, so keep it to yourself.
They'd fire Lucinda and they'd kick me off the task force.
Oh, we have company.
Everyone's favorite couple.
We were just leaving.
Oh, too bad, I was hoping I could get a few pithy quotes from Well, why don't you just make something up, Joshie? That's what you're gonna do anyway, isn't it? No private life for a public figure, Walsh.
You better get used to it.
You want something pithy? Pith off.
So he was tortured? Well, getting shaved is unpleasant, but I'd hardly call it torture.
These are just places where they attach electrodes for an electrocardiograph, EKG.
Does he have a heart problem? Well, he seems fine.
You say you found him on campus, right? Here's your answer.
See this tattoo? He's from the university medical lab.
So he's an escapee from an experiment? Animals don't just escape from research facilities.
Usually, they're freed by some worker who doesn't like what's going on in the lab and can't risk losing their job.
They want you to find him.
But I thought you said he was fine.
Well, he seems to be.
But there's no telling what experiment he's been in.
He could be sick or contagious.
So how do we find out? Well, I hate to tell you this, but we have to notify the lab.
That's where he ran away from.
I know, believe me, I don't like this any better than you do.
Bren? Look, Andrea's working at the medical lab.
Maybe she'll know what's going on.
Okay, we'll give her a call.
Andrea wouldn't let anything bad happen to Rocky.
Promenade, go round the track Take a little walk But don't you look back Hold the girl You swing and twirl Round and around With the pretty little girl Head in double Do a right and left through Turn them all around Like I always do Do a right and left back In the usual way Turn to the girl's side Double Do a right and left through Turn them all around Like they always do Promenade And off we go Swing around With a pretty little girl Round and around And here we go Side couple Do a right and left through Turn them all around Like I always do Head in Then step across Swing the gal Side couple Do a right and left through Turn them on around Thank God I'm not the one who has to dance with Richland.
But you have to dance with somebody who's gonna ask you more questions about yourself.
- She's in high school.
- Yeah.
So you're in high school.
Yeah, only four months left, thank God.
Oh, I don't suppose we could call a truce.
Who said there was a war? He's still out for blood, and he's a bad square dancer.
Clare's a pretty good dancer, but I think she tried to grope me.
Come on back And around again Both sides Go around and around Do-si-do Now, let's go round the world Take that girl And promenade I think he called for a grand left.
I've always had a problem with authority.
Are you sure you're only in high school? Hey, wait.
Oh, God, I'm sorry, excuse me.
Younger woman, Brandon? Lucinda will be jealous.
Lucinda doesn't get jealous.
Right, I guess she's never had a reason to.
Who could compete? You know, I just figured out how this weekend promotes higher education.
Do you wanna see something strange? Yeah, it's gonna be hard to be intimidated by those guys ever again.
Yeah, well, it's even stranger seeing you dance.
Hey, this is not dancing.
This is following instructions.
Just like making a box of macaroni and cheese.
You know, the last time I really danced was with you, almost two years ago at the Spring Dance.
Was I that bad? You know what I'm thinking of? When I made a move on you.
I thought I made a move on you.
No, no, no, I made a move on you.
What you did was tell me that we could never be a couple because I was like a sister to you.
It's got to be the most awful thing any guy has ever said to me.
Okay, I apologize.
It's too late.
But you did do one thing good that night.
You told me that if we were perfect strangers, you would be in love with me.
- I did say that, didn't I? - Here we go.
Tell me something, do you remember everything everyone ever says to you? Not everyone.
Right-hand star.
And a left-hand star.
Come on, this one's fun.
Do a do-si-do All the way around - Right hands, left - Oh, take that.
Round you go.
Right barn turn All the way around Come back to the side To a left barn turn Hey.
- Andrea.
- Who's Andrea? Andrea.
Who are you? - Is she pregnant? - No kidding.
Andrea, you all right? I'm a friend of Steve's.
Hi, Kathy, I'm fine.
You'll let me know if you need anything? Absolutely, thank you.
- Help her.
- Don't you dare.
I'll be outside, waiting.
Steve, Steve.
Look, Andrea, before you say anything, Muntz was the one who stood up for me when John Sears was trying to get me kicked out of KEG, and I owed him one.
Steve, I'm touched, but I can't deal with you anymore.
Andrea, I'll be homeless.
Better than both of us.
I want you out by tomorrow morning.
By tomorrow morning.
So tell me, how did you and Lucinda get together? Very normally, actually, and then I found out she was married.
So much for serial monogamy.
What's that? One of her many theories.
I cannot believe that you, of all people, are sleeping with a married woman.
I wasn't.
Things got intense after she got divorced.
Intense is good.
Intense is romantic.
It was romantic.
But after a while, it just kind of feels like sneaking around.
So I guess our little deceit is the last thing you need right now.
To tell you the truth, for the last few hours, I've been thinking how much nicer it is to be square dancing with you than to be hiding out with Lucinda.
If that's a line, then you know how to pick them.
It's not a line.
Could you just tell me that I'm like a sister again? Because that will make things a lot easier.
You know, we have two people at home who trust us.
I know.
I think I better walk myself the rest of the way.
Yeah.
A megaburger, please.
I'll get you a waitress.
Nadine.
I came here to talk to you.
At your service.
You know what? I'll handle this myself.
Okay.
I was hoping for a friendlier reception.
Yeah? Call the Welcome Wagon.
What is wrong with you? Why'd you leave so suddenly yesterday? I shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Well, I thought we were getting along pretty well until you jumped up and ran out.
I just don't get it.
It's not that complicated, is it? You sleep with me, I finance your film.
Is that what you think's going on here? I wasn't trying to sleep with you to get you to finance my film.
Dylan, it's a man-woman thing, see? I mean, I'm honestly attracted to you.
Well, I don't doubt that.
See, when you have millions of dollars, suddenly, you look good to a lot of people.
Is that how you think people see you? In this case, absolutely.
Well, that's really sad, because you're so wrong.
Beat it.
Wait a second, wait a second.
- Andrea.
- Steve, you are supposed to be gone.
- Could you come back later? - No.
I'm gonna throw you out before Kathy Fisher does.
Andrea, this isn't a good time.
Steve, you lie, you apologize, you lie, you apologize.
Steve, I'm not gonna lose my room over this.
Kathy.
Andrea, I was just Yeah, I think I got the picture.
I was gonna get my nose pierced.
And then I thought, you know, how all these people that look cool now are gonna end up middle-aged, regular jobs and kids and holes in their noses.
Oh, look, here they come.
Your boyfriend is so cool.
I'll tell him you think so.
So, what's he like in bed? - Excuse me? - Well, we're off.
Task force meetings are gonna seem a little tame after this.
It will be nice to get back to normal.
Yes, it will.
Clare, it was a pleasure.
Oh, it was nice to meet both of you.
Kelly, you were a model roommate.
And Brandon We lived in France three years.
She picked up the kissing thing.
Well, we can just shake hands, chancellor.
Brandon, we'll see you two back in town.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Brandon, I can't play this dating game anymore.
I was afraid you were gonna say that.
I think maybe last night might have been my fault.
In a way, I guess I've always wanted it to happen.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, I'm glad about it, but it can't happen again.
Maybe if you just made yourself a little less irresistible next time.
You always know just what to say.
Come on.
I'm starting to get a really bad feeling about this.
Look, calm down.
Andrea said she'll take really good care of him.
I know, but it still gives me the creeps.
- All right, a couple of dog lovers.
- Come here.
- Hey.
Come here.
- Can we get you to sign? - Sign what? - This petition, it's for animal rights.
Oh, my God.
That's what we're trying to stop.
They call it research, right? But what they're doing is burning animals, electrocuting them, microwaving them, blinding them - I don't wanna hear this.
- No, I know Nobody does, but that's what's being done in the name of science.
That's right.
But mostly, all it does is confirm what we already know.
I mean, why force cigarette smoke into more dogs' lungs just to show yet again that smoking is bad for you? I read about this.
Don't they cut holes in dogs' throats or something? Yeah, that's right.
Once people know the facts, they want it stopped.
I'm Allan.
- Hi.
- This is Jonathan and Janet.
Hi, I'm Brenda.
- This is Donna and Rocky.
- Hi.
Listen, there's a vote next week by the board of regents to forbid animal testing on this campus.
So would you please sign this petition? - Sure.
- Hi, you guys.
Hi, Rocky.
How you doing? I don't suppose you'd sign our petition.
You're right, I wouldn't.
- Shall we? - Come on.
- Wait, wait.
- Stop, you can't do this.
You're taking him in? We have to.
He escaped from the lab.
They'll destroy him.
Look, I know you guys have a right to be here and spread your lies - It's not a lie.
- Yes, it is.
Do you know what we do? Research to save lives.
You research unnecessarily.
Look, guys, we have already gone through this.
You know why it's important for us to return him.
You know, maybe this isn't such a good idea.
Bren.
Don't do it.
Bye, Rachmaninoff.
Donna, who are you gonna believe? Bye-bye, Rocky.
Andrea's gonna take care of you now, okay? Come on, Rocky, come on.
Good boy.
I mean, it's not like animal rights is a new thing.
I mean, listen to this.
Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, William Wordsworth.
Hey, wait a minute, we talked about Wordsworth in poetry class.
You said he was deranged.
Come on, animals deserve to have someone speak up for them.
What about that gorilla lady who was teaching them to speak up for themselves? Guys, I'm gonna personally go and buy you a new dog just so I don't have to listen to this anymore.
Sorry, I guess we have been kind of going on.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Rocky! What are you doing here? I missed you so much.
Hey, pup.
I thought I'd never see you again.
Hey.
Looks like you gotta be a dog to get any attention around here.
- Oh, hi, Jesse.
- Hi, Brenda.
Oh, you guys, how can you turn your back on a face like this? Kind of makes you wanna grow fur, doesn't it? No.
So, Andrea, what happened? Well, they said since he got outside of the control group, he was worthless to them, clinically speaking, that is.
So if you want him, he's yours.
I'd say they do.
So, Brandon, I understand you had a wild weekend.
Excuse me? Seventy-five policy wonks at a hoedown? Oh, the retreat.
Yes, Kelly and I went, and we're kind of a big item now.
Isn't that right, Kel? Yeah, Bran, thanks for the return of my girlfriend.
Thanks for the loan, brother.
What are friends for? You know, Brandon and I told you about our weekend in paradise.
What about you? Did Lucinda hit the jackpot? Not exactly.
Looks like I'm gonna have to do a little persuading.
Well, I'm out of here, guys.
Where are you sneaking off to? This is not sneaking, Brenda.
This is commonly referred to as walking.
See you, Brandon.
See you guys, good to see you again.
Did you miss me? You first.
I thought about you all weekend long.
