Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s06e01 Episode Script
Home Is Where the Tart Is
Excuse me.
Is this seat taken? No.
Do you mind? Thanks.
They stuck me in the back there all by myself.
I really hate to fly alone.
Especially all the way to L.
A.
So, let me guess.
Are you heading to the coast for an audition? No.
I'm going home, back to college.
College? What's your major, driving men wild? Not exactly.
Psychology.
Are you traveling to L.
A.
on business? Sort of.
I'm an artist.
I'm moving to a new studio in Venice.
You know, I live right on the beach.
That practically makes us neighbors.
Great.
I don't know a soul out there.
Maybe you can give me the grand tour.
Or at least tell me where I can find a decent all-night deli.
- I'd be glad to.
- You know, you have incredible eyes.
And that mouth, it's like a ripe strawberry.
Oh, I can't believe I said that.
This is just a stab in the dark, but are you a member of the Mile-High Club? Excuse me? The Mile-High Club.
It's easy to join.
Did you see that? That was great! God, I've always wanted to do that.
All summer in New York I knew you were crazy, but this was hilarious.
I thought that one guy in the gray suit was gonna choke on his smoked almonds.
So, what do we do now? Stay in here for a little while, really drive 'em crazy.
Hmm.
That'll be easy 'cause you do drive me crazy.
The captain has turned on the "fasten seat belt" sign.
Please return to your seats I guess we won't be joining the Mile-High Club this trip.
That's all right it's the thought that counts.
Mm-hmm.
Val? Anybody home? Great.
I wonder who's been sleeping in Papa Bear's bed? Hi.
Good morning.
You must be Brandon.
I must be dreaming.
Would you mind telling me what the hell you're doing here? Does it matter? No.
No, I guess it really doesn't.
I thought I heard something in here.
Val! Hi.
I'm home.
So I've noticed.
Brandon, this is my best friend from Buffalo, Ginger.
Yeah, we've, uh, we've met.
I've been hanging out here for a couple of weeks.
I hope you don't mind.
No, no, don't mind at all.
Well, I better go and hit the showers.
So, welcome home.
It's been three months.
Thanks.
It's good to be home.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
You know, if you would've called first, I could've had her gift-wrapped for you.
You know what? Remind me never to get involved with a model.
They have way too many suitcases.
Yes, but look at the upside.
Yes.
You have one hell of an upside.
Not a bad backside, either.
So, this is your place, huh? This is it.
Huh.
What is this? A Rodin? No, it must be a Henry Moore.
Put that down.
And I love the posters.
Did you get these at the student bookstore? Excuse me if it's not fine art.
It doesn't have to be fine, just original.
I guess you're right.
I never realized how tacky this place really is.
How tacky what is? - Hi! - Hi! Welcome home.
Clare Arnold, this is Colin Robbins.
My artist friend.
- Hi.
- Hi.
"Colin Robbins' work attains a "formal depth and radiance, "yet reflects the tangential nature of living in a fast-moving, media-filled environment.
" Art News.
July.
She has a photographic memory.
I'm impressed.
So am I.
Do you always go around quoting art magazines? Only when my roommate's dating the artist.
Well, I'm I'm flattered.
And I'd love to stick around, but I've got to meet my landlord - and pick up my keys.
- Yes.
Colin rented a loft in Venice.
- Oh.
- As soon as I get set up, you should come over and see my studio.
- Sure, yeah, cool.
- All right.
Bye.
- I'll call you later.
- Okay.
See ya.
He is so beautiful.
- I know.
- How'd you meet him again? I told you, I was doing this shoot in Tribeca Hey there, sailor.
- You thirsty? - Thank you.
Oh, it's such a beautiful day.
You know, I wish this summer would never end.
I never thought I could be this happy.
Well, God knows I never thought I'd find myself in a place like this.
Yeah, well, my dad says you're the best first mate in the yacht club.
I wish we could just stay on this boat and sail away, you know? Well, chart a course, and I'm there.
Ahoy, mates! Hi, Daddy.
Say, you want to take her out for a shakedown before tomorrow's race? - Sure, let's go.
- Who would've thought a couple of city guys like us would've made such great sailors, huh? Thanks, Dr.
Martin.
I've had a great time, really.
Good.
Look, you cast off.
I'm gonna go downstairs and power her up, okay? All righty, Cap'n.
You know, my dad really digs you.
Your whole family's been so great to me this summer.
Yeah, well, you've been pretty great to me lately.
Well, I'm glad you noticed, 'cause I love you a lot, and I'm really trying to make up for what happened in Palm Springs.
Well, I think it's working.
So, how was Boston? Ate a lot of lobster, proofread a lot of obituaries for stuffy Brahmins.
But working at the Hera/d was cool.
Well, you guys, I'm headed for the gym.
You want to come, Brandon? No, thanks, I, uh, I drove all night.
I think I'd better get some sleep.
I hope you won't be lonely without me.
She's a piece of work.
Yeah, well, she was my only friend after I left Minnesota.
She's still a piece of work.
You know, I'm glad you came home.
I really missed you.
It was really hard seeing them take everything out of here.
So, how long you been living without furniture? Well, everything went into storage last week.
Heard from the dragon lady lately? Oh, yes.
The lovely Candace was here yesterday.
So, escrow's gonna close next week, huh? Yeah, finally.
It was supposed to close in June.
At least you had a place to live this summer.
You know, you didn't have to rush back.
I could've handled things on my own.
Uh-uh.
I had to say good-bye to Casa Walsh myself.
So, where you gonna live? I don't know.
Ginger's thinking about staying here in L.
A.
, and if she does, maybe we'll move in together.
How about you? Tell me that moving in with Steve Sanders is not the stupidest idea I ever had.
Well, think of it this way you'll learn how to buy beer in six languages.
Great.
Don't let me sleep through dinner, huh? I won't.
Hey, Brandon? Yeah? What happened between us before you left? I mean, have you thought about it at all? Yeah.
I don't think we should pick up where we left off, do you? I don't know.
Come on, Val, you were there.
The minute we took our clothes off, we started laughing uncontrollably.
I knew we should have turned off the lights.
It was my tattoo, wasn't it? No, it wasn't.
Val, you're beautiful, and unbelievably sexy, but we both know it's just too weird.
I know.
I just had a lousy summer, that's all.
I thought you were dating a Dodger? Actually, he was an Angel.
More like a devil.
I don't know.
We had fun until they sent him down to the minors.
You ruined his game? I know.
I feel terrible.
But that's not the worst part of it.
What could possibly be worse than that? Honestly? I haven't talked to the gang except for Steve all summer.
I mean, Clare and Donna won't return my calls, and if Kelly was here, she probably wouldn't talk to me either.
Val, everyone goes their separate ways during the summer.
That's just the way it goes.
Give 'em a chance, they'll come around.
You'll see.
I promise.
You told me that six months ago, and nothing's changed.
If Ginger goes back home, I think I'm gonna go with her.
Well, you can't do that.
Why? Because you're the only family I got left here.
You mean that? Yeah, I do.
Thanks.
I can't believe with pictures like this, you're actually going back to school.
What for? I don't want to be just another pretty face.
If I'm gonna keep modeling, I want to be completely in control.
I forgot.
The new Kelly Taylor doesn't take any crap from anybody.
That's right.
I'll get it.
Oh, I'm gonna go to bed.
Anybody home? Hey, stranger.
How did you know I was back? I hear things.
Could I come in? Yeah.
So, how was your summer? Good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Wow, you really did some beautiful work.
That is beautiful.
That's my favorite.
Can I have one? Right here.
That's my favorite one, too.
Yeah.
How was your trip? Well, my passport's got a stamp on every page.
I'm right back where I started.
Well, I'm not back where I started.
I mean, we're not back where we started.
I didn't come here to talk about us.
Good.
What? You know what this is? That's your dad's watch.
Yeah.
On my last stop in Mexico, I went back to retrieve it.
I had left it at some cantina to cover a bar tab.
Well, I'm glad you got it back.
I know it means a lot to you.
Yeah, I'll never get him back, though.
Till I find out who killed Jack, I can't go back to anything, anybody.
His things are in a storage facility in the Valley.
I made an appointment.
Dylan, I can't do that with you.
Why not? You were there.
You knew him.
I can't do it alone.
I need a friend.
Friends.
You're sure that's all you want? That's all.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Who wants some caviar? Depends.
Who paid for it? I did.
Uh-huh.
She's getting a little carried away with Beverly Hills.
When in Rome - Not the Rome I know.
- You have mail.
Hey, look at this.
I already got some e-mail from Jim and Cindy.
What does it say? It says, "Dear Brandon.
"Please call us as soon as you get this.
Love, Mom and Dad.
" Isn't that cute? So much for the information superhighway.
No kidding.
Hello, Mr.
Walsh? Good-bye.
Hey, bud.
Hey.
How's it goin'? David, how you doin', man? You guys know Ginger? I've had the pleasure.
He wishes he'd had the pleasure.
Ouch.
Ouch, stab me in the heart, why don't you? I'm David Silver.
Ginger Lamont.
- Hi.
- Lamont? Since when? It's Ginger LaMonica.
Where have you been hiding him? He's cute.
Well, David, you got the seal of approval from Buffalo's finest.
Thanks.
Brandon, we're about to make you a very happy man.
- How's that? - Tell him, Silver.
Well, one of my dad's patients, this divorced guy, has this incredible apartment in a high-rise on Wilshire.
Now he got back together with his wife, so he's, he's kind of stuck with the place.
It looks like we can get it, furnished, for practically nothing, but we gotta move now, otherwise we lose it.
Bye, ladies.
- Bye.
- See ya.
Nice meeting you.
Brandon! Candace.
Welcome home! Thank you! With escrow due to close, we just have to tie up a few loose ends.
Oh, Valerie, darling, hello.
Hi, Candace.
Uh, there may be an inspector or two dropping by, but other than that, that's it.
Great, great, I know the place is kind of a mess right now, but we'll make sure it's spotless.
Oh, that won't be necessary.
It won't be? No.
The people who are buying it are planning to tear it down.
You can trash this place if you want to.
Well, we're not really the trashing types.
Oh, I gotta run.
Call me day or night.
Okay? Bye-bye, darling.
- You got it.
- Bye, gang.
Bye-bye.
Who would want to tear down this house? I love this house.
Oh, Brandon, get over it.
This is no time to be sentimental.
You know what this means, don't you? No.
Brandon, think about it.
She said we could trash this place.
So? So that means we can party.
P-A-R-T Why? Because we got to! Whew! lt'll take days to go through all this stuff.
Yeah, I probably should have done this a long time ago.
Why didn't you? I don't know.
You know maybe it's best that you don't find out who killed Jack.
Shouldn't the police be doing this? Yeah, they should.
So should the FBI, but they're not, that's the problem, Kel.
Nobody's doing anything.
That's why we're here.
What are we looking for, anyway? I don't know contracts, memo, fax, phone message.
Anything with a clue on it.
I wish you could just leave well enough alone.
So do a lot of people.
Maybe they're right.
Maybe they're not.
Why'd you come here anyway? Are you gonna help me look through this stuff or are you gonna give me a hard time? Fine.
Where do I start? Pick a box.
Any box.
STEVE: Nice wheels, Walsh.
Thanks.
Guilt gift from Jim and Cindy.
They couldn't live with themselves leaving me here all by myself.
Aw, you poor baby.
Yeah.
Ah, check it out.
- Hey.
- Oh, it's good to be back in L.
A.
So how were the girls in Boston? A pale comparison.
But I went out with them anyway.
Good to know it wasn't all work for our cub reporter, huh? Oh, no, summer of lust.
How 'bout you boys? Oh, not quite.
Clare broke up with him.
Steve, I broke up with her.
Come on.
That was two months ago.
What you gonna do, mourn forever? And what's with that haircut? You look like a Buddhist monk.
I hope you don't mind me telling you.
You'd better trim that off before something nests in it, man.
Enough, all right? I'm not mourning.
I've been out, like, twice.
Oh, you're breaking my heart, Silver.
No, no, don't have pity for him, okay? Please, the kid works at the Greek Theater all summer.
Free tickets, he's a stagehand.
You know stagehands? They have groupies there.
If you want to have pity on someone, have pity on me, okay? I busted my ass in summer school, and I am still not a junior.
Wait a minute.
Val told me Peach Pit After Dark's become one of the hottest dance clubs in town.
You got nothing to do with that? No, not a thing.
I'm a doormat there.
It's just the way it is.
I take 'em to the top and they dump me.
Just like Kelly.
Anybody heard from her? Who wants to know? How about Dylan? How's he? Oh, boy, you just don't stop, do you? Aw, come on, give him a break.
He had a rough summer, world tour and all.
Yeah, probably had a woman in every port.
You know, I really gotta travel more.
Look, let's make this fast okay? The party at Donna's yacht awaits.
This is it? This is it.
Silver, this is the nicest building in the whole corridor.
How good is this? Believe it or not fellas, it's the penthouse apartment.
Three bedrooms, three baths with double spa tubs and 24-hour maid service for a nominal price.
Just make sure I get the biggest bedroom, okay? Oh, sure.
Remind me to get my teeth cleaned.
I get the biggest bedroom.
I tell you, my old man had a way with a checkbook.
Look at this.
His bar tab for one month at the Beach Club: three grand.
- That's a lot of martinis.
- Yeah.
Did you find anything else? His divorce agreement.
It's quite a read.
- Iris got $6 million cash to disappear.
- Hmm.
It's all here in black and white.
Well, at least your dad wanted you.
My dad left when I was two.
What was wrong with him? He's still alive.
Might as well be dead as much as I see him.
What's that? It's it's Jack's notebook from prison.
Keeping track of all his pinochle games.
His cellmate was into him for quite a bit.
Well, maybe you should collect.
Yeah, maybe I should.
Hell, he probably knows a lot about him sharing a five-by-nine room for two years.
You still miss him, don't you? Every day.
Whoever took him away from me is gonna pay for it.
You're serious.
I'm dead serious.
Please be careful.
No matter what is between us, I couldn't bear it if anything were to happen to you.
Don't.
I told you there's someone else.
There's always someone else.
Dylan we're over.
You don't need me anymore.
I'll always need you.
I've gotta hand it to you, Doc.
You put up one hell of a challenge.
Not bad for a bunch of landlubbers, huh? Donna, you remember Mr.
and Mrs.
Korman.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Well, Donna, you've certainly grown up.
Donna's going to celebrate her And you don't look a day over 19.
This is Donna's boyfriend, Ray Pruit.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Call me Jerry, please.
I'm already old enough to be your father.
Don't make me feel worse.
Oh, would, would you excuse me for a minute? Really, did you get a load of that woman's jewelry? What do you think she wears to a formal? They're probably fake.
More importantly, what are they doing here? I I don't know.
I didn't invite them.
You know, normally I'd say the more the merrier, but, with those two, I'd rather jump overboard.
Yeah, well, there's nothing we can do about it now.
So, don't say anything.
I don't want to ruin my mom's party okay? Okay.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, ladies.
Hey, ladies.
Help yourselves.
Donna, I hope you don't mind that we just showed up.
Steve said you were inviting everybody.
No, of course not.
It's fine.
You have a beautiful boat.
Do you mind if we take a look around? Be my guest.
I love L.
A.
Watch out.
You'll be turning back into a pumpkin soon enough.
Not necessarily.
I could marry well.
Well, then you better forget about Brandon.
The one thing he doesn't have is money.
He makes up for it in other areas.
Yeah, tell me about it.
You're sure you don't mind if I take my shot? I thought you already did.
Yeah, but that was just fooling around.
Now it's time to get serious.
To the high life.
To 24-hour maid service.
To double spa tubs.
Ah! Brandon, you came! Hey, I wouldn't miss your party for anything.
Is Kelly here? Uh, no, she couldn't make it.
- She's with Dylan.
- It's not like that.
It had something to do with his father.
Donna, it's okay.
Right.
Felice Yeah.
- May I talk to you for a moment? - What's wrong? It seems I've lost my ring.
Are you sure? Yes, I was in the downstairs bathroom.
I took it off to wash my hands I left it right on the sink, and now it's gone.
Maybe you just dropped it.
Donna, would you go down and see if you can find it? Sure, what'd it look like? It was an emerald and diamond cocktail ring.
It's my anniversary present from Jerry.
- What's going on? - Mrs.
Korman left her ring in the head.
Did you see it? No, I was just down there, but I didn't see any ring.
Barbara, I'm sure we're gonna find it.
We better.
Harris is on his way down.
You know the drill? Yeah, I know the drill.
My old man was a "guest" here for a couple of years.
Dylan McKay.
Never thought I'd see you again.
How you doing, Ben? All right.
I brought you some books.
You still like Robert Ludlum, yeah? That's quite a memory you got there, kid.
Thanks.
How's your blood pressure? Through the roof.
What else is new? You didn't come here to talk about my health.
You know why I'm here.
I can hazard a guess.
So what do you know? Jack told me to look out for you.
Yeah, well, Jack's dead.
You looking to meet him in heaven? I'm looking to meet the guy that put him there.
You know who that is.
Who doesn't? I don't.
I wasn't willing to trade my life for the information.
Although I was given the opportunity.
Maybe it's best if I don't tell you either.
I read this one already.
They all come out the same.
But in real life, the good guys don't make it.
Maybe this time they will.
His name is Marchette.
Anthony Marchette.
Businessman.
Very private.
You'll never get to him.
That's what they said about Jack.
Thanks for the books, kid.
Try not to get yourself killed.
Your daddy wouldn't like it.
Time's up, man.
That's right, we're in Basin D, Slip 44.
The yacht's name is Fe/onna.
John, hang up.
I don't want the police involved.
Look, the Kormans can't make an insurance claim unless we file a report.
Maybe we better get out of here before they line us up for a strip search.
I don't know, I'd stick around for that.
I hate this boat.
Mom, relax.
Wasn't Ray in the bathroom right after Mrs.
Korman? A lot of people were in the bathroom.
I'm just saying I know what you're saying, Mom.
And I don't want to hear it, okay? Hey, did anybody ever find the ring on the boat? I talked to Donna and nothing's turned up.
How does this sound? "Dear Mom and Dad.
Send vast quantities of money.
" It's too sensitive.
It's too sensitive.
I can't get right to the point.
Let me give it a try.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, ow! Dear Mom and Dad.
I have the major hots for your son.
Love, Ginger.
Whoa, whoa, you, uh you just sent that.
Well, at least now they'll know you're not lonely.
Help, Val.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
What's up, ladies and germs.
Inside this box, I have got the key to make this the party to end all parties.
Check it out.
Steve? Steve, what're you doing? Tagging the wall.
Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm feeling fine.
Come on, they're gonna knock this house down.
Give me that! All right, but think of all the destruction we could do here without any consequences.
It could be rather liberating.
Go for it.
Steve I can't.
This is my house.
Brandon, come on, this house is going to be a pile of rubble pretty soon.
What are you going to do when the bulldozer comes, cry? Hmm? Hmm? I will not.
Good, good, not Picasso, but not bad.
Val, I need your help.
I'm gonna go on a beer run.
I need those strong arms of yours.
Why do I have to do everything around here? Oh, stop complaining, will ya? It's for a good cause.
Besides, your fake I.
D.
's better than mine.
Let me try that.
What do you think? I wouldn't have pegged you for a romantic.
I am full of surprises.
I bet you are.
Good nighty.
Hey, hey.
D? Yeah.
Hurry up.
Ray's here, and Kelly just called.
She's meeting us at Brandon's, okay? Is Colin coming? No.
He has to unpack or something.
Donna, get a move on.
I'll be right there.
Come on! So, what do you think? You look beautiful.
You always look beautiful.
Thank you.
Clare will be right out.
So, that gives you a few seconds to mess up my lipstick.
Was it just me, or was your mother giving me the evil eye today? What are you talking about? She thinks I stole that ring, doesn't she? No, no, she doesn't.
Come on, let's just go and have fun tonight, okay? Hey! Stop that.
We've got a party to go to.
And you have lipstick all over your face.
I'm ready to go.
- I like it.
- Cool.
- So this Dylan, is he over you? - No.
If you want him to leave you alone, why did you go with him? Well, when his father was killed, I wasn't really much help to him.
I guess I feel sort of bad about that.
So now you've done your part and you're free.
Yeah.
Let me ask you something.
Do you like your father? Where'd that come from? I just want to know more about you, that's all.
Yeah, my dad's great.
He coached Little League, raised five kids, put me through art school.
But he works for an insurance company.
He still wants to know what I do for a living.
What do you do for a living? Come here.
Smell this.
It's the scent of creativity.
Better than food, better than sex.
Better than me? Well, there's always room for improvement.
You look good in Burnt Sienna.
You are crazy.
Why do I look crazy? Well, there's always room for improvement.
It's open.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Help me with my zipper? Up or down? What would you prefer? Turn around.
You're such a good boy.
Wouldn't want to be late to my own party.
You'd be very late.
Brandon! Brandon, where are you? Hi, Kel.
Hey! I hate you! You didn't call me all summer.
Yeah.
I hate you, too.
So how was New York? You look great.
Thanks.
It was everything I thought it would be.
So are you the world's greatest reporter yet? Well, I don't know about all that, but they did invite me back next year.
Good.
I want to hear all about it.
Well, hang on a sec.
Kel, this is Ginger.
Ginger, this is Kelly.
I'm a friend of Valerie's from Buffalo.
Oh.
Well, any friend of Valerie's Care to finish that sentence? No.
Brandon, I'll see you downstairs.
Is there a window open in here? I think I just felt a cold wind blow through.
I think you're right.
It did get a little chilly in here.
Well, I know how to warm things up.
Oh, you do? Oh.
That's a little better.
Excuse me.
Hey, there's five more of these in the car, and lots of other goodies.
You know, if I didn't bring the food, you guys would never invite me to anything.
Oh, Nat, we love you! And we emptied the fridge, so there's plenty of room.
Good.
'Cause you're going to need it.
Hey, Nat! Hi, Kel.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
I didn't realize you were back.
Sorry to disappoint you.
So, have you seen Brandon? Oh, yes.
How about Dylan? I can see you haven't changed this summer, Valerie.
Meaning? Meaning I have.
The gloves are off.
Watch out.
Ooh! I'm quaking.
Good.
I'm not playing anymore.
Not with you, anyway.
Everything under control down here? Yeah.
It's a party and a half.
Hey, not bad for last-minute, huh? You try anything like this in our new house, I will kill you.
This is post-impressionist love shack, man! Donna, you're wearing the necklace I got you in New York.
How does it look? It looks beautiful.
I'm glad you like it.
You didn't bring me any jewelry, Kel.
You know, I saw some perfect little dangly earrings you would have loved.
Next time.
- I can't believe this.
- I know.
If Jim and Cindy could see this place now, they would flip out.
I never thought Brandon would get this wild.
I guarantee Steve had something to do with it.
Hey, stranger.
Hey! How's the jet-setter? It's good to be home.
Well, I missed you.
Yeah.
I'll bet.
Some party.
Yeah.
Just a few hundred of our closest lunatics.
Is Kelly here yet? You'll never learn, will you? Learn what? - Hi.
- Hi.
Did you get what you wanted? - Yeah.
- Good.
I'm happy for you.
- Are you? - I guess.
Hey, there, Mr.
World Traveler.
What's happening? How you doing, Mr.
Boston Strangler? I'll let you two catch up.
I'm going to dance.
So, I heard you spent the day with her today.
How did it go? Oh, you know how she is barrel of laughs.
Hey, Brand, you know a guy named Tony Marchette? Yeah, sure.
Casinos.
Big business.
Land development.
Murder.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about he's the guy.
He's the guy that killed my dad.
Nobody seems to want to do anything much about it, though, except me.
And you're involving Kelly in this? I tried.
She didn't want to play, so It's okay.
I'd rather drag you in anyway.
Sure.
Why should I let you have all the fun? Oh, I'm sorry.
I was way out of line.
I'll clean that up for you.
Sorry.
It's okay.
You know, for the first time, I feel like your friends actually don't mind having me around.
Are you kidding? They like you as much as I do.
Well, maybe not as much as I do.
Dylan, are you leaving? Yeah.
I gotta get out of here.
I'm worried about you.
Don't be.
Come on, Brandon.
Take me upstairs.
You sure about that? Are you kidding? Come on.
Let's go.
Uh You know, Ginger, there's something you need to know.
I know everything I need to know.
She broke up with you, remember? Come on.
Let's let's mingle.
Party pooper.
That's my man.
I'm taking off, Brandon.
What for, Nat? Party's just getting started.
Well, enjoy yourself.
I can't take any more.
What are you talking about? Uh Would you excuse us for a second, please? Excuse us.
What's happened to you? What are you guys doing to this house? It's disgusting.
- It's a disgrace.
- Nat, the people who bought this house are going to tear it down.
That doesn't make it right, Brandon.
This was your home.
Who died and made him third grade teacher? Candace, what are you doing here? Oh, Valerie, uh, I tried to call and call.
The phone just rang all the time.
No wonder.
You probably couldn't even hear it.
What? Where's Brandon? Oh, in there somewhere.
Brandon.
Candace! You party animal, you.
I need to talk to you, Brandon.
Can we go someplace quiet? There isn't anyplace quiet.
Talk here.
Brandon, the house fell out of escrow.
I'm sorry.
I didn't hear that.
I said the house fell out of escrow! What? The house fell out of escrow! It's all yours! I'll talk to you tomorrow, sweetheart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What are you worried about, man? We're moving into a place that's got double spa tubs.
Steve, will you shut up already? I've got more things to worry about than bathrooms, all right? What if Big Jim saw this house? He'd have a heart attack.
Well, we just won't tell your folks, and we'll just fix the place up.
Valerie, Muntz was swinging from the dining room chandelier.
And it's not there anymore.
Great, great, great.
Someone please stop the bombing.
Don't worry, man.
I have the ultimate set of tools.
It's going to take a lot more than tools to fix up this place.
It's nothing money can't fix.
Your money, thank you very much.
Big deal.
Look, Brandon, we'll all help.
We'll put everything back the way it was, okay? Is she always so cheerful? You know what my dad always says.
You make your bed, you gotta sleep in it.
Just don't sleep in it alone.
Can I borrow your jacket? I'm cold.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
I'm going to go get another cold one.
Any takers? Coffee, please.
Yeah.
Me, too, man.
Please.
Oh, no.
What's wrong? It's Barbara Korman's ring.
The one she lost on the boat.
Great.
Ray's got a new career.
Hold on.
You don't know he took it.
What's going on? You tell us.
I I found this in your pocket.
Care to explain how it got there? Come on, Ray.
Just tell us the truth.
Did you steal the ring? No, I didn't steal any ring.
I believe you.
You hear what he said? He said he didn't take it, he didn't take it.
Hey, don't mock me, Sanders.
Hey, man! You're a jerk, Sanders.
You're all jerks.
All right? Yeah, I took the ring and I put it in my pocket so you guys would find it.
Smart thief, huh? What are we supposed to think, Ray? I don't know, Val.
I don't really care.
You can think whatever the hell you want.
I'm out of here.
I've had enough of this.
Easy, man.
Well, on that cheery note Party's over, ladies and gentlemen! Let's go! You want some coffee? Thanks.
Look at this place.
I can't believe I let this happen.
Don't beat yourself up, Brandon.
It's not your fault.
Of course it's my fault.
This house is my responsibility.
You thought they were going to tear it down.
And that's supposed to be excuse enough to behave like animals? I'm going to bed.
I got a lot of work to do later.
Everybody said they'd pitch in.
Yeah.
Think I could talk Jim and Cindy into not selling this place.
Letting me stay here? Why would you want to? Because this is my home.
I love this house.
I'm not going anywhere.
Is this seat taken? No.
Do you mind? Thanks.
They stuck me in the back there all by myself.
I really hate to fly alone.
Especially all the way to L.
A.
So, let me guess.
Are you heading to the coast for an audition? No.
I'm going home, back to college.
College? What's your major, driving men wild? Not exactly.
Psychology.
Are you traveling to L.
A.
on business? Sort of.
I'm an artist.
I'm moving to a new studio in Venice.
You know, I live right on the beach.
That practically makes us neighbors.
Great.
I don't know a soul out there.
Maybe you can give me the grand tour.
Or at least tell me where I can find a decent all-night deli.
- I'd be glad to.
- You know, you have incredible eyes.
And that mouth, it's like a ripe strawberry.
Oh, I can't believe I said that.
This is just a stab in the dark, but are you a member of the Mile-High Club? Excuse me? The Mile-High Club.
It's easy to join.
Did you see that? That was great! God, I've always wanted to do that.
All summer in New York I knew you were crazy, but this was hilarious.
I thought that one guy in the gray suit was gonna choke on his smoked almonds.
So, what do we do now? Stay in here for a little while, really drive 'em crazy.
Hmm.
That'll be easy 'cause you do drive me crazy.
The captain has turned on the "fasten seat belt" sign.
Please return to your seats I guess we won't be joining the Mile-High Club this trip.
That's all right it's the thought that counts.
Mm-hmm.
Val? Anybody home? Great.
I wonder who's been sleeping in Papa Bear's bed? Hi.
Good morning.
You must be Brandon.
I must be dreaming.
Would you mind telling me what the hell you're doing here? Does it matter? No.
No, I guess it really doesn't.
I thought I heard something in here.
Val! Hi.
I'm home.
So I've noticed.
Brandon, this is my best friend from Buffalo, Ginger.
Yeah, we've, uh, we've met.
I've been hanging out here for a couple of weeks.
I hope you don't mind.
No, no, don't mind at all.
Well, I better go and hit the showers.
So, welcome home.
It's been three months.
Thanks.
It's good to be home.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
You know, if you would've called first, I could've had her gift-wrapped for you.
You know what? Remind me never to get involved with a model.
They have way too many suitcases.
Yes, but look at the upside.
Yes.
You have one hell of an upside.
Not a bad backside, either.
So, this is your place, huh? This is it.
Huh.
What is this? A Rodin? No, it must be a Henry Moore.
Put that down.
And I love the posters.
Did you get these at the student bookstore? Excuse me if it's not fine art.
It doesn't have to be fine, just original.
I guess you're right.
I never realized how tacky this place really is.
How tacky what is? - Hi! - Hi! Welcome home.
Clare Arnold, this is Colin Robbins.
My artist friend.
- Hi.
- Hi.
"Colin Robbins' work attains a "formal depth and radiance, "yet reflects the tangential nature of living in a fast-moving, media-filled environment.
" Art News.
July.
She has a photographic memory.
I'm impressed.
So am I.
Do you always go around quoting art magazines? Only when my roommate's dating the artist.
Well, I'm I'm flattered.
And I'd love to stick around, but I've got to meet my landlord - and pick up my keys.
- Yes.
Colin rented a loft in Venice.
- Oh.
- As soon as I get set up, you should come over and see my studio.
- Sure, yeah, cool.
- All right.
Bye.
- I'll call you later.
- Okay.
See ya.
He is so beautiful.
- I know.
- How'd you meet him again? I told you, I was doing this shoot in Tribeca Hey there, sailor.
- You thirsty? - Thank you.
Oh, it's such a beautiful day.
You know, I wish this summer would never end.
I never thought I could be this happy.
Well, God knows I never thought I'd find myself in a place like this.
Yeah, well, my dad says you're the best first mate in the yacht club.
I wish we could just stay on this boat and sail away, you know? Well, chart a course, and I'm there.
Ahoy, mates! Hi, Daddy.
Say, you want to take her out for a shakedown before tomorrow's race? - Sure, let's go.
- Who would've thought a couple of city guys like us would've made such great sailors, huh? Thanks, Dr.
Martin.
I've had a great time, really.
Good.
Look, you cast off.
I'm gonna go downstairs and power her up, okay? All righty, Cap'n.
You know, my dad really digs you.
Your whole family's been so great to me this summer.
Yeah, well, you've been pretty great to me lately.
Well, I'm glad you noticed, 'cause I love you a lot, and I'm really trying to make up for what happened in Palm Springs.
Well, I think it's working.
So, how was Boston? Ate a lot of lobster, proofread a lot of obituaries for stuffy Brahmins.
But working at the Hera/d was cool.
Well, you guys, I'm headed for the gym.
You want to come, Brandon? No, thanks, I, uh, I drove all night.
I think I'd better get some sleep.
I hope you won't be lonely without me.
She's a piece of work.
Yeah, well, she was my only friend after I left Minnesota.
She's still a piece of work.
You know, I'm glad you came home.
I really missed you.
It was really hard seeing them take everything out of here.
So, how long you been living without furniture? Well, everything went into storage last week.
Heard from the dragon lady lately? Oh, yes.
The lovely Candace was here yesterday.
So, escrow's gonna close next week, huh? Yeah, finally.
It was supposed to close in June.
At least you had a place to live this summer.
You know, you didn't have to rush back.
I could've handled things on my own.
Uh-uh.
I had to say good-bye to Casa Walsh myself.
So, where you gonna live? I don't know.
Ginger's thinking about staying here in L.
A.
, and if she does, maybe we'll move in together.
How about you? Tell me that moving in with Steve Sanders is not the stupidest idea I ever had.
Well, think of it this way you'll learn how to buy beer in six languages.
Great.
Don't let me sleep through dinner, huh? I won't.
Hey, Brandon? Yeah? What happened between us before you left? I mean, have you thought about it at all? Yeah.
I don't think we should pick up where we left off, do you? I don't know.
Come on, Val, you were there.
The minute we took our clothes off, we started laughing uncontrollably.
I knew we should have turned off the lights.
It was my tattoo, wasn't it? No, it wasn't.
Val, you're beautiful, and unbelievably sexy, but we both know it's just too weird.
I know.
I just had a lousy summer, that's all.
I thought you were dating a Dodger? Actually, he was an Angel.
More like a devil.
I don't know.
We had fun until they sent him down to the minors.
You ruined his game? I know.
I feel terrible.
But that's not the worst part of it.
What could possibly be worse than that? Honestly? I haven't talked to the gang except for Steve all summer.
I mean, Clare and Donna won't return my calls, and if Kelly was here, she probably wouldn't talk to me either.
Val, everyone goes their separate ways during the summer.
That's just the way it goes.
Give 'em a chance, they'll come around.
You'll see.
I promise.
You told me that six months ago, and nothing's changed.
If Ginger goes back home, I think I'm gonna go with her.
Well, you can't do that.
Why? Because you're the only family I got left here.
You mean that? Yeah, I do.
Thanks.
I can't believe with pictures like this, you're actually going back to school.
What for? I don't want to be just another pretty face.
If I'm gonna keep modeling, I want to be completely in control.
I forgot.
The new Kelly Taylor doesn't take any crap from anybody.
That's right.
I'll get it.
Oh, I'm gonna go to bed.
Anybody home? Hey, stranger.
How did you know I was back? I hear things.
Could I come in? Yeah.
So, how was your summer? Good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Wow, you really did some beautiful work.
That is beautiful.
That's my favorite.
Can I have one? Right here.
That's my favorite one, too.
Yeah.
How was your trip? Well, my passport's got a stamp on every page.
I'm right back where I started.
Well, I'm not back where I started.
I mean, we're not back where we started.
I didn't come here to talk about us.
Good.
What? You know what this is? That's your dad's watch.
Yeah.
On my last stop in Mexico, I went back to retrieve it.
I had left it at some cantina to cover a bar tab.
Well, I'm glad you got it back.
I know it means a lot to you.
Yeah, I'll never get him back, though.
Till I find out who killed Jack, I can't go back to anything, anybody.
His things are in a storage facility in the Valley.
I made an appointment.
Dylan, I can't do that with you.
Why not? You were there.
You knew him.
I can't do it alone.
I need a friend.
Friends.
You're sure that's all you want? That's all.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Who wants some caviar? Depends.
Who paid for it? I did.
Uh-huh.
She's getting a little carried away with Beverly Hills.
When in Rome - Not the Rome I know.
- You have mail.
Hey, look at this.
I already got some e-mail from Jim and Cindy.
What does it say? It says, "Dear Brandon.
"Please call us as soon as you get this.
Love, Mom and Dad.
" Isn't that cute? So much for the information superhighway.
No kidding.
Hello, Mr.
Walsh? Good-bye.
Hey, bud.
Hey.
How's it goin'? David, how you doin', man? You guys know Ginger? I've had the pleasure.
He wishes he'd had the pleasure.
Ouch.
Ouch, stab me in the heart, why don't you? I'm David Silver.
Ginger Lamont.
- Hi.
- Lamont? Since when? It's Ginger LaMonica.
Where have you been hiding him? He's cute.
Well, David, you got the seal of approval from Buffalo's finest.
Thanks.
Brandon, we're about to make you a very happy man.
- How's that? - Tell him, Silver.
Well, one of my dad's patients, this divorced guy, has this incredible apartment in a high-rise on Wilshire.
Now he got back together with his wife, so he's, he's kind of stuck with the place.
It looks like we can get it, furnished, for practically nothing, but we gotta move now, otherwise we lose it.
Bye, ladies.
- Bye.
- See ya.
Nice meeting you.
Brandon! Candace.
Welcome home! Thank you! With escrow due to close, we just have to tie up a few loose ends.
Oh, Valerie, darling, hello.
Hi, Candace.
Uh, there may be an inspector or two dropping by, but other than that, that's it.
Great, great, I know the place is kind of a mess right now, but we'll make sure it's spotless.
Oh, that won't be necessary.
It won't be? No.
The people who are buying it are planning to tear it down.
You can trash this place if you want to.
Well, we're not really the trashing types.
Oh, I gotta run.
Call me day or night.
Okay? Bye-bye, darling.
- You got it.
- Bye, gang.
Bye-bye.
Who would want to tear down this house? I love this house.
Oh, Brandon, get over it.
This is no time to be sentimental.
You know what this means, don't you? No.
Brandon, think about it.
She said we could trash this place.
So? So that means we can party.
P-A-R-T Why? Because we got to! Whew! lt'll take days to go through all this stuff.
Yeah, I probably should have done this a long time ago.
Why didn't you? I don't know.
You know maybe it's best that you don't find out who killed Jack.
Shouldn't the police be doing this? Yeah, they should.
So should the FBI, but they're not, that's the problem, Kel.
Nobody's doing anything.
That's why we're here.
What are we looking for, anyway? I don't know contracts, memo, fax, phone message.
Anything with a clue on it.
I wish you could just leave well enough alone.
So do a lot of people.
Maybe they're right.
Maybe they're not.
Why'd you come here anyway? Are you gonna help me look through this stuff or are you gonna give me a hard time? Fine.
Where do I start? Pick a box.
Any box.
STEVE: Nice wheels, Walsh.
Thanks.
Guilt gift from Jim and Cindy.
They couldn't live with themselves leaving me here all by myself.
Aw, you poor baby.
Yeah.
Ah, check it out.
- Hey.
- Oh, it's good to be back in L.
A.
So how were the girls in Boston? A pale comparison.
But I went out with them anyway.
Good to know it wasn't all work for our cub reporter, huh? Oh, no, summer of lust.
How 'bout you boys? Oh, not quite.
Clare broke up with him.
Steve, I broke up with her.
Come on.
That was two months ago.
What you gonna do, mourn forever? And what's with that haircut? You look like a Buddhist monk.
I hope you don't mind me telling you.
You'd better trim that off before something nests in it, man.
Enough, all right? I'm not mourning.
I've been out, like, twice.
Oh, you're breaking my heart, Silver.
No, no, don't have pity for him, okay? Please, the kid works at the Greek Theater all summer.
Free tickets, he's a stagehand.
You know stagehands? They have groupies there.
If you want to have pity on someone, have pity on me, okay? I busted my ass in summer school, and I am still not a junior.
Wait a minute.
Val told me Peach Pit After Dark's become one of the hottest dance clubs in town.
You got nothing to do with that? No, not a thing.
I'm a doormat there.
It's just the way it is.
I take 'em to the top and they dump me.
Just like Kelly.
Anybody heard from her? Who wants to know? How about Dylan? How's he? Oh, boy, you just don't stop, do you? Aw, come on, give him a break.
He had a rough summer, world tour and all.
Yeah, probably had a woman in every port.
You know, I really gotta travel more.
Look, let's make this fast okay? The party at Donna's yacht awaits.
This is it? This is it.
Silver, this is the nicest building in the whole corridor.
How good is this? Believe it or not fellas, it's the penthouse apartment.
Three bedrooms, three baths with double spa tubs and 24-hour maid service for a nominal price.
Just make sure I get the biggest bedroom, okay? Oh, sure.
Remind me to get my teeth cleaned.
I get the biggest bedroom.
I tell you, my old man had a way with a checkbook.
Look at this.
His bar tab for one month at the Beach Club: three grand.
- That's a lot of martinis.
- Yeah.
Did you find anything else? His divorce agreement.
It's quite a read.
- Iris got $6 million cash to disappear.
- Hmm.
It's all here in black and white.
Well, at least your dad wanted you.
My dad left when I was two.
What was wrong with him? He's still alive.
Might as well be dead as much as I see him.
What's that? It's it's Jack's notebook from prison.
Keeping track of all his pinochle games.
His cellmate was into him for quite a bit.
Well, maybe you should collect.
Yeah, maybe I should.
Hell, he probably knows a lot about him sharing a five-by-nine room for two years.
You still miss him, don't you? Every day.
Whoever took him away from me is gonna pay for it.
You're serious.
I'm dead serious.
Please be careful.
No matter what is between us, I couldn't bear it if anything were to happen to you.
Don't.
I told you there's someone else.
There's always someone else.
Dylan we're over.
You don't need me anymore.
I'll always need you.
I've gotta hand it to you, Doc.
You put up one hell of a challenge.
Not bad for a bunch of landlubbers, huh? Donna, you remember Mr.
and Mrs.
Korman.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Well, Donna, you've certainly grown up.
Donna's going to celebrate her And you don't look a day over 19.
This is Donna's boyfriend, Ray Pruit.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Call me Jerry, please.
I'm already old enough to be your father.
Don't make me feel worse.
Oh, would, would you excuse me for a minute? Really, did you get a load of that woman's jewelry? What do you think she wears to a formal? They're probably fake.
More importantly, what are they doing here? I I don't know.
I didn't invite them.
You know, normally I'd say the more the merrier, but, with those two, I'd rather jump overboard.
Yeah, well, there's nothing we can do about it now.
So, don't say anything.
I don't want to ruin my mom's party okay? Okay.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, ladies.
Hey, ladies.
Help yourselves.
Donna, I hope you don't mind that we just showed up.
Steve said you were inviting everybody.
No, of course not.
It's fine.
You have a beautiful boat.
Do you mind if we take a look around? Be my guest.
I love L.
A.
Watch out.
You'll be turning back into a pumpkin soon enough.
Not necessarily.
I could marry well.
Well, then you better forget about Brandon.
The one thing he doesn't have is money.
He makes up for it in other areas.
Yeah, tell me about it.
You're sure you don't mind if I take my shot? I thought you already did.
Yeah, but that was just fooling around.
Now it's time to get serious.
To the high life.
To 24-hour maid service.
To double spa tubs.
Ah! Brandon, you came! Hey, I wouldn't miss your party for anything.
Is Kelly here? Uh, no, she couldn't make it.
- She's with Dylan.
- It's not like that.
It had something to do with his father.
Donna, it's okay.
Right.
Felice Yeah.
- May I talk to you for a moment? - What's wrong? It seems I've lost my ring.
Are you sure? Yes, I was in the downstairs bathroom.
I took it off to wash my hands I left it right on the sink, and now it's gone.
Maybe you just dropped it.
Donna, would you go down and see if you can find it? Sure, what'd it look like? It was an emerald and diamond cocktail ring.
It's my anniversary present from Jerry.
- What's going on? - Mrs.
Korman left her ring in the head.
Did you see it? No, I was just down there, but I didn't see any ring.
Barbara, I'm sure we're gonna find it.
We better.
Harris is on his way down.
You know the drill? Yeah, I know the drill.
My old man was a "guest" here for a couple of years.
Dylan McKay.
Never thought I'd see you again.
How you doing, Ben? All right.
I brought you some books.
You still like Robert Ludlum, yeah? That's quite a memory you got there, kid.
Thanks.
How's your blood pressure? Through the roof.
What else is new? You didn't come here to talk about my health.
You know why I'm here.
I can hazard a guess.
So what do you know? Jack told me to look out for you.
Yeah, well, Jack's dead.
You looking to meet him in heaven? I'm looking to meet the guy that put him there.
You know who that is.
Who doesn't? I don't.
I wasn't willing to trade my life for the information.
Although I was given the opportunity.
Maybe it's best if I don't tell you either.
I read this one already.
They all come out the same.
But in real life, the good guys don't make it.
Maybe this time they will.
His name is Marchette.
Anthony Marchette.
Businessman.
Very private.
You'll never get to him.
That's what they said about Jack.
Thanks for the books, kid.
Try not to get yourself killed.
Your daddy wouldn't like it.
Time's up, man.
That's right, we're in Basin D, Slip 44.
The yacht's name is Fe/onna.
John, hang up.
I don't want the police involved.
Look, the Kormans can't make an insurance claim unless we file a report.
Maybe we better get out of here before they line us up for a strip search.
I don't know, I'd stick around for that.
I hate this boat.
Mom, relax.
Wasn't Ray in the bathroom right after Mrs.
Korman? A lot of people were in the bathroom.
I'm just saying I know what you're saying, Mom.
And I don't want to hear it, okay? Hey, did anybody ever find the ring on the boat? I talked to Donna and nothing's turned up.
How does this sound? "Dear Mom and Dad.
Send vast quantities of money.
" It's too sensitive.
It's too sensitive.
I can't get right to the point.
Let me give it a try.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, ow! Dear Mom and Dad.
I have the major hots for your son.
Love, Ginger.
Whoa, whoa, you, uh you just sent that.
Well, at least now they'll know you're not lonely.
Help, Val.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
What's up, ladies and germs.
Inside this box, I have got the key to make this the party to end all parties.
Check it out.
Steve? Steve, what're you doing? Tagging the wall.
Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm feeling fine.
Come on, they're gonna knock this house down.
Give me that! All right, but think of all the destruction we could do here without any consequences.
It could be rather liberating.
Go for it.
Steve I can't.
This is my house.
Brandon, come on, this house is going to be a pile of rubble pretty soon.
What are you going to do when the bulldozer comes, cry? Hmm? Hmm? I will not.
Good, good, not Picasso, but not bad.
Val, I need your help.
I'm gonna go on a beer run.
I need those strong arms of yours.
Why do I have to do everything around here? Oh, stop complaining, will ya? It's for a good cause.
Besides, your fake I.
D.
's better than mine.
Let me try that.
What do you think? I wouldn't have pegged you for a romantic.
I am full of surprises.
I bet you are.
Good nighty.
Hey, hey.
D? Yeah.
Hurry up.
Ray's here, and Kelly just called.
She's meeting us at Brandon's, okay? Is Colin coming? No.
He has to unpack or something.
Donna, get a move on.
I'll be right there.
Come on! So, what do you think? You look beautiful.
You always look beautiful.
Thank you.
Clare will be right out.
So, that gives you a few seconds to mess up my lipstick.
Was it just me, or was your mother giving me the evil eye today? What are you talking about? She thinks I stole that ring, doesn't she? No, no, she doesn't.
Come on, let's just go and have fun tonight, okay? Hey! Stop that.
We've got a party to go to.
And you have lipstick all over your face.
I'm ready to go.
- I like it.
- Cool.
- So this Dylan, is he over you? - No.
If you want him to leave you alone, why did you go with him? Well, when his father was killed, I wasn't really much help to him.
I guess I feel sort of bad about that.
So now you've done your part and you're free.
Yeah.
Let me ask you something.
Do you like your father? Where'd that come from? I just want to know more about you, that's all.
Yeah, my dad's great.
He coached Little League, raised five kids, put me through art school.
But he works for an insurance company.
He still wants to know what I do for a living.
What do you do for a living? Come here.
Smell this.
It's the scent of creativity.
Better than food, better than sex.
Better than me? Well, there's always room for improvement.
You look good in Burnt Sienna.
You are crazy.
Why do I look crazy? Well, there's always room for improvement.
It's open.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Help me with my zipper? Up or down? What would you prefer? Turn around.
You're such a good boy.
Wouldn't want to be late to my own party.
You'd be very late.
Brandon! Brandon, where are you? Hi, Kel.
Hey! I hate you! You didn't call me all summer.
Yeah.
I hate you, too.
So how was New York? You look great.
Thanks.
It was everything I thought it would be.
So are you the world's greatest reporter yet? Well, I don't know about all that, but they did invite me back next year.
Good.
I want to hear all about it.
Well, hang on a sec.
Kel, this is Ginger.
Ginger, this is Kelly.
I'm a friend of Valerie's from Buffalo.
Oh.
Well, any friend of Valerie's Care to finish that sentence? No.
Brandon, I'll see you downstairs.
Is there a window open in here? I think I just felt a cold wind blow through.
I think you're right.
It did get a little chilly in here.
Well, I know how to warm things up.
Oh, you do? Oh.
That's a little better.
Excuse me.
Hey, there's five more of these in the car, and lots of other goodies.
You know, if I didn't bring the food, you guys would never invite me to anything.
Oh, Nat, we love you! And we emptied the fridge, so there's plenty of room.
Good.
'Cause you're going to need it.
Hey, Nat! Hi, Kel.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
I didn't realize you were back.
Sorry to disappoint you.
So, have you seen Brandon? Oh, yes.
How about Dylan? I can see you haven't changed this summer, Valerie.
Meaning? Meaning I have.
The gloves are off.
Watch out.
Ooh! I'm quaking.
Good.
I'm not playing anymore.
Not with you, anyway.
Everything under control down here? Yeah.
It's a party and a half.
Hey, not bad for last-minute, huh? You try anything like this in our new house, I will kill you.
This is post-impressionist love shack, man! Donna, you're wearing the necklace I got you in New York.
How does it look? It looks beautiful.
I'm glad you like it.
You didn't bring me any jewelry, Kel.
You know, I saw some perfect little dangly earrings you would have loved.
Next time.
- I can't believe this.
- I know.
If Jim and Cindy could see this place now, they would flip out.
I never thought Brandon would get this wild.
I guarantee Steve had something to do with it.
Hey, stranger.
Hey! How's the jet-setter? It's good to be home.
Well, I missed you.
Yeah.
I'll bet.
Some party.
Yeah.
Just a few hundred of our closest lunatics.
Is Kelly here yet? You'll never learn, will you? Learn what? - Hi.
- Hi.
Did you get what you wanted? - Yeah.
- Good.
I'm happy for you.
- Are you? - I guess.
Hey, there, Mr.
World Traveler.
What's happening? How you doing, Mr.
Boston Strangler? I'll let you two catch up.
I'm going to dance.
So, I heard you spent the day with her today.
How did it go? Oh, you know how she is barrel of laughs.
Hey, Brand, you know a guy named Tony Marchette? Yeah, sure.
Casinos.
Big business.
Land development.
Murder.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about he's the guy.
He's the guy that killed my dad.
Nobody seems to want to do anything much about it, though, except me.
And you're involving Kelly in this? I tried.
She didn't want to play, so It's okay.
I'd rather drag you in anyway.
Sure.
Why should I let you have all the fun? Oh, I'm sorry.
I was way out of line.
I'll clean that up for you.
Sorry.
It's okay.
You know, for the first time, I feel like your friends actually don't mind having me around.
Are you kidding? They like you as much as I do.
Well, maybe not as much as I do.
Dylan, are you leaving? Yeah.
I gotta get out of here.
I'm worried about you.
Don't be.
Come on, Brandon.
Take me upstairs.
You sure about that? Are you kidding? Come on.
Let's go.
Uh You know, Ginger, there's something you need to know.
I know everything I need to know.
She broke up with you, remember? Come on.
Let's let's mingle.
Party pooper.
That's my man.
I'm taking off, Brandon.
What for, Nat? Party's just getting started.
Well, enjoy yourself.
I can't take any more.
What are you talking about? Uh Would you excuse us for a second, please? Excuse us.
What's happened to you? What are you guys doing to this house? It's disgusting.
- It's a disgrace.
- Nat, the people who bought this house are going to tear it down.
That doesn't make it right, Brandon.
This was your home.
Who died and made him third grade teacher? Candace, what are you doing here? Oh, Valerie, uh, I tried to call and call.
The phone just rang all the time.
No wonder.
You probably couldn't even hear it.
What? Where's Brandon? Oh, in there somewhere.
Brandon.
Candace! You party animal, you.
I need to talk to you, Brandon.
Can we go someplace quiet? There isn't anyplace quiet.
Talk here.
Brandon, the house fell out of escrow.
I'm sorry.
I didn't hear that.
I said the house fell out of escrow! What? The house fell out of escrow! It's all yours! I'll talk to you tomorrow, sweetheart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What are you worried about, man? We're moving into a place that's got double spa tubs.
Steve, will you shut up already? I've got more things to worry about than bathrooms, all right? What if Big Jim saw this house? He'd have a heart attack.
Well, we just won't tell your folks, and we'll just fix the place up.
Valerie, Muntz was swinging from the dining room chandelier.
And it's not there anymore.
Great, great, great.
Someone please stop the bombing.
Don't worry, man.
I have the ultimate set of tools.
It's going to take a lot more than tools to fix up this place.
It's nothing money can't fix.
Your money, thank you very much.
Big deal.
Look, Brandon, we'll all help.
We'll put everything back the way it was, okay? Is she always so cheerful? You know what my dad always says.
You make your bed, you gotta sleep in it.
Just don't sleep in it alone.
Can I borrow your jacket? I'm cold.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
I'm going to go get another cold one.
Any takers? Coffee, please.
Yeah.
Me, too, man.
Please.
Oh, no.
What's wrong? It's Barbara Korman's ring.
The one she lost on the boat.
Great.
Ray's got a new career.
Hold on.
You don't know he took it.
What's going on? You tell us.
I I found this in your pocket.
Care to explain how it got there? Come on, Ray.
Just tell us the truth.
Did you steal the ring? No, I didn't steal any ring.
I believe you.
You hear what he said? He said he didn't take it, he didn't take it.
Hey, don't mock me, Sanders.
Hey, man! You're a jerk, Sanders.
You're all jerks.
All right? Yeah, I took the ring and I put it in my pocket so you guys would find it.
Smart thief, huh? What are we supposed to think, Ray? I don't know, Val.
I don't really care.
You can think whatever the hell you want.
I'm out of here.
I've had enough of this.
Easy, man.
Well, on that cheery note Party's over, ladies and gentlemen! Let's go! You want some coffee? Thanks.
Look at this place.
I can't believe I let this happen.
Don't beat yourself up, Brandon.
It's not your fault.
Of course it's my fault.
This house is my responsibility.
You thought they were going to tear it down.
And that's supposed to be excuse enough to behave like animals? I'm going to bed.
I got a lot of work to do later.
Everybody said they'd pitch in.
Yeah.
Think I could talk Jim and Cindy into not selling this place.
Letting me stay here? Why would you want to? Because this is my home.
I love this house.
I'm not going anywhere.
