Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s06e31 Episode Script

So where do we stand with this Colin thing? Any news? Well, I've called everybody I know that he might have gotten in touch with.
Nobody can believe he would do something like this.
His father's devastated.
Yeah, well, he did it.
And we're left twisting in the wind.
I know, Nat.
But we've got six months to find him.
Yeah, but that means every day that goes by he gets further and further away.
He's ought to be in Mexico by now.
He'll come back.
I know he will.
He wouldn't do this to us.
Wake up, Val.
We're cooked.
When that bondsman realizes he's not gonna get all the money out of the club, you can be sure that he's going to come after my share of the Peach Pit and Dylan's.
Hey, Nat.
Do you remember that guy that helped Dylan get his money back last year? - Jonesy? - Yeah, he's a little off, but he gets the job done.
I put a call into him.
He owes me.
He better owe you big time, 'cause we're going to need it.
Thanks.
Seat taken? I guess it is now.
Nat's really worried about losing the restaurant.
I feel so bad.
You really know how to fix things, don't you, Valerie? Wherever you go, a disaster seems to follow right behind.
Excuse me, but I think you invented Colin.
Yeah, and the minute I found out what a jerk he was, you moved right in.
Come to think of it, every guy I've ever been with, you've just moved right in.
I knew Colin before you guys even met.
Yeah.
So you invented him.
He's all yours.
A Liberian freighter heading for Rio.
Puts out in three days.
You got the dough? I'm working on it.
Better hurry up.
Hey, there, Keats.
You got almost everything? Almost.
I can't believe - a whole year went by so fast.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, Randy, I've got two Rolodexes here.
One's got personal stuff, the other one I'm leaving.
And please don't forget to submit your budget proposal for the summer by the end of the week.
The administration office has been really bugging me about it.
Susan, I've already taken care of it.
Stop worrying.
Your paper will be in great hands this summer namely mine.
Don't take it personally.
She's like this with everybody.
And proud of it.
So you got any big plans for the summer? As a matter of fact, we do.
We are going to see America.
Two months on the road.
No pressure, no deadlines, no proofreading, hopefully no speeding tickets.
Sounds terrific.
Hey, did you guys hear anything about a big party this weekend? Some prince is throwing a KEG guy this birthday bash down in Long Beach on the Queen Mary.
It's a major do.
It's all over the CrashNet.
Oh, a big party, huh? I think we may have heard something about that.
Yeah, every Greek in Southern California should be down there Saturday night.
Hmm Wonder who that lucky KEG guy could be? So what do you think, Steve? Is this a great place for a party of what? This place is awesome! We are going to take over the whole ship.
What's the matter, Carl? The palace at Versailles wasn't available? Nope, booked for a Tupperware party.
Come on, there's still a lot of details - we have to take care of.
- Details? Details? Right on, man.
Happy birthday to me.
Belmont Gallery.
Claudia Van Eyck, please.
- This is Claudia.
- Claudia, it's Colin.
I've been trying to get you all week.
I know, darling, but you didn't leave a number.
Listen, um, I really need that money you owe me.
Are we going to go through this again? I told you, you forfeited that money when you broke our contract.
Claudia, damn it.
That's not true and you know it.
What's the matter? Run out of women to take care of you? You owe me $10,000.
I want it.
I need it, please.
And to what prison should I send it? Look, wire it to the Western Union office on Third Street, San Pedro, California.
Trying to skip the country, are we? Just send it.
I will.
But don't ask for more.
I'm not in the business of aiding and abetting fugitives.
Oh! Oh, what a place for a party! Oh! Think it's elegant enough? Well, if it was elegant enough for Winston Churchill, I'm sure it's elegant enough for me.
I better check out the stage.
The band was very specific about what they wanted.
You the man! Do you believe this? Well, looks like it's going to be a Sanders-fest.
And a well-deserved one, wouldn't you say? Mm-hmm.
Come on.
Let's go eat.
I'm hungry.
Eat? Don't you think we should stick around here? There's so much to do.
So let Carl do it.
Yeah, but after all he's done for us, don't you think that'd be a little rude? Jeez, Steve.
Can you find a spot left on his butt to kiss? What's that supposed to mean, Clare? How do you ever expect to repay him for all this? Haven't you ever seen "The Godfather"? One of these days he's going to want a favor.
And trust me, it's going to be a big one.
Clare, Carl's not like that.
Besides, if I could afford a party like this, for somebody like me, I would.
You would, wouldn't you? In a heartbeat.
Okay.
Whoo! All right you sure you don't want to stay for dinner? I'm going to do your favorite and order in.
No, I told my mom I would meet her.
When are you going to Long Beach? I told Susan we'd drive down tomorrow after the traffic dies down.
What about you? I'm going with Donna and David.
Really? Bringing anyone special? Hmm-mm.
Had enough of men for a while, huh? Yep, I'm officially single now.
Well, it should be quite a blowout.
From what Clare says, the prince has really outdone himself.
Steve always lands in the roses.
He's been like that his whole life.
Well, that's why we love him.
Do you think he'll miss these? No, I, I don't think he will.
It's quite a gift idea though.
Not everyone has a bronzed pair of old sneakers.
Oh, you know.
- Hi, Val.
- Hi.
Well, I will see you in Long Beach.
Bye, Valerie.
Good-bye, Kelly.
You know it's just so nice to see things warming up between you two.
It gives me hope for this planet.
She seems to be enjoying my suffering a little too much.
Val, the police are on this thing now.
Don't worry.
I'm sure they'll come up with something.
I really don't want to talk about it.
Okay, I'm going to go pick up from the Dutch joint on the corner; you want anything? - Swedish meatballs? - Hmm-mm.
Okay.
You have reached the personal secretary mailbox for Valerie Malone.
Please enter your four-digit code.
You have one new message.
Received at 3:34 PM.
Hey, kid, Jonesy here.
Well, you really did it this time, didn't you? Huh? See I told you, you should be hanging out with professional scoundrels like me, not amateurs.
Anyway, Uncle Jonesy may be in Thailand, but anyhow he's on the case.
He better be.
So you can bet your troubles are going to be over real soon and, oh, yeah.
By the way, I do know where Dylan is.
In merry old England, London to be exact, West End, of course.
More to come.
Sayonara, peaches.
Sorry.
I couldn't help myself.
I heard Jonesy's voice and I just had to hear the pearls of wisdom.
Uh, that's okay.
I don't have anything to hide.
Did you know Dylan was in London? News to me.
Brenda certainly didn't say anything.
Then again, haven't talked to her in a while.
She's been on tour in Scotland.
You think they've been together? I don't know.
London's a big town.
if you take into account the outlying areas.
I'd say chances are are slim to none, but then you never know.
- What? - Brenda and Dylan, together again.
I'm just really sorry Kelly missed the good news.
Your 5:00 with Capitol Records is confirmed at the lvy.
And then you have a conference call.
Got it.
Oh, have you heard anything more on that party - down in Long Beach yet? - It's true.
I spoke to the Goo Goo Doll's road manager.
He says they're playing some kid's birthday party.
Have a seat, guys.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
Amazing, huh? Man, that's one birthday party I'd like to go to.
Well, that could be arranged.
We know the kid who's having the birthday party.
Actually, he's one of our best friends, Steve Sanders.
What is he, royalty or something? Kind of.
And you guys are going? Yeah, it's this whole weekend thing on the Queen Mary.
I guess the Goo Goo Dolls perform on Saturday.
You know, you can go if you want.
We're allowed to bring guests.
You could get me in? That's a switch.
Normally I'd be getting you in.
Sure, it's no problem.
Excellent.
Now, I've got something really great for you guys to hear.
Just hold on uno momento.
Here you go.
Read my fortune.
Do you realize what you just did? What? Invite Erik? - You think I shouldn't have? - Donna, the guy has the hots for you, and you just made it seem like you were interested in him.
I did not.
You're crazy.
He wants to hear the band.
Trust me, all right? I'm right about this one.
Right.
Ah.
Donna, here it is.
Billboard Magazine.
We have a picture and everything.
Huh? - Oh! - We have arrived.
Can you believe this? Oh.
This is for real.
Look.
We're on the same page as Alanis Morissette.
You know what? We can't let this go to our heads, though.
We got to keep working.
We shouldn't even be going to the party this weekend.
Uh, David, even Erik's going.
It's fine.
Yeah, well, we should work while we're there.
Maybe we can do some new storyboards or something.
- Okay.
- Kelly, are you ready? Yeah.
Are you guys going to talk business all weekend? Because I want to have a good time.
You want to have a good time, why don't you invite a date like Donna? Oh! He is not a date.
Besides, he's driving down by himself, and he booked his own room.
You have a date, Donna? Oh! Didn't you hear what I said? Look what you started, David.
He's not a date.
He's just some, uh, horny guy that's got the hots for Donna.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Who is he? No.
Kel, it's Erik Budman, the guy we made the video deal with.
He wanted to hear the band.
I was just being nice.
Oh, there you go, Donna.
Just be nice.
I'm sure that's all he's after.
Whatever.
I'll get that.
Donna Martin? That's me.
- Sign here, please.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
Have a good day.
You, too.
What's that? Another birthday message for Steve? I don't think so.
It doesn't feel like it.
It's from Dylan in London.
I-I didn't even know you got a hold of him.
I didn't.
Nobody knew where he was.
"Couldn't find a video camera, so I sent Steve this letter.
" Wait.
Look at the return address.
This is where Brenda lives.
What are you guys whispering about? Uh, just business.
Back to that, huh? I'll be in the car, okay? Donna, we should probably tell her.
She's going to find out tonight.
I don't think we should tell her.
I mean, we don't even know what's going on.
Why upset her? Dylan being with Brenda is gonna upset her? Knowing Kelly, yeah.
Yeah, I think it would.
There you go, Mr.
Budman.
We hope you enjoy your stay aboard.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way, is my room anywhere near Miss Donna Martin's room? You're right down the hall.
Excellent.
Here we are, kids.
All ashore that's going ashore.
I'm so glad it's not moving.
I really don't feel so well.
I think I better find a ladies' room.
Why don't you guys check in, and I'll go with Joanie? - Okay.
- Okay.
Thanks, Susan.
Is she going to be okay, pal? Yeah.
She's been working hard.
- She's just tired.
- Oh, yeah? May I help you? Yes.
Uh, do you have - a reservation for Walsh? - And Bussichio? You and your guests are with the Sanders party.
- That is correct.
- Yeah.
It's all in order.
First class staterooms, and everything is taken care of courtesy of your host.
He is a prince of a man, isn't he? Mm-hmm.
Oh, Mr.
Walsh, I have a message here for a Ms.
Keats.
Ah.
Would you happen to know where that area code is? that's Washington, DC.
Washington, DC.
Home of the President and her husband.
Thank you.
How are you feeling? Oh, I'm okay, Nat.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine.
Let's just go get settled.
Okay, we're right up there.
So, are we all set? Yeah, yeah.
There was a message for you.
Who's in DC.
? Oh, it's probably just this woman that works for the presidential campaign I met at that editor's convention last week.
Mm-hmm, and what does she want? Who knows? Who cares? Why don't we go find our bed in our room? All righty.
Uh, just a second.
Hi.
Uh hi.
- Ms.
Malone? - Yes.
Can I help you with something? Actually, I'm here to help you.
Jonesy sent me.
Richard Ballen, FBI.
Oh.
Can I come in? Um yeah, sure.
Here for this party? That's right.
But you've got something else on your mind? Didn't Jonesy tell you anything? Colin Robbins male, Caucasian, 5'9", 150 lbs.
Last known address: Venice, California.
Fugitive from justice since May 15, 1996.
And you were left holding the bag.
Very good.
Can you find him? I haven't missed yet.
Good morning.
Morning.
Where's Steve? Oh, he'll be right out.
Did you have a nice night? Yeah.
It's beautiful here.
Did you know that your mother and mine were on one of its last transatlantic crossings? - Really? - Before we were born.
I have an amazing photo of them standing by the railing on the aft deck.
Oh.
My mom never told me about it.
I'd love to see the picture someday.
It's back home, but, uh, I'll have it sent over.
Okay, great.
Ahoy, mateys.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey.
Morning.
Well, hey, you two enjoy.
I have to head over to the stable and get ready for tomorrow's match.
I've never been to a polo match.
- Oh, you'll love it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'll see you at dinner.
- Bye.
- Take care, man.
Bye.
Hey, Clare, what do you suppose you're supposed to wear to a polo match? Well, I'm sure you'll wear your royal cufflinks.
Would you give that a rest, please? I'm sorry okay? I just I can't believe it's your birthday party, and the guy expects us all to go and watch him play polo.
He's throwing us a huge brunch for us afterwards, and besides, everything else he's doing for us here.
Why don't you cut the guy a break? He's not the same Carl you knew when you were ten years old.
Whatever you say.
The police seem to think that Colin's already out of the country.
Maybe, but he'd need false identification for that, and it would have to be very good.
That costs a lot of money.
Any idea whom he might go to? I don't know.
I've been over this with the police.
His parents, his old drug connections.
No one's turned up anything.
Any old girlfriends? Yeah.
Yeah, that's Kelly Taylor over there.
You should grill her.
Would you mind asking her to join us? No.
It'll be my pleasure.
Hey, Kelly? Can you come over here? I want you to meet somebody.
Hi.
Richard Ballen, FBI.
Please sit down, Ms.
Taylor.
Is this about Colin? Yes, it is.
I understand that you were involved with him.
Is that true? Look, I told him to turn himself in.
I washed my hands of him completely.
Did he come to you for money? It was for more personal reasons than that.
Any idea who he might have approached for money? I don't know.
His parents, maybe, or, uh, his old art dealer.
Who's that? Claudia Van Eyck.
She owns the Belmont Art Gallery in Manhattan.
She was his sugar mama.
Try her.
Claudia, huh? She was the lady who came out here and set up his show.
He was diddling her while he was going out with you? Isn't that precious? Am I through here? Thank you very much.
She was very helpful.
Well, I'm glad you think so.
I won't let you down.
I appreciate that.
Hey, where you off to? Donna's.
Really? Is she expecting you? Of course not.
Where's the magic in that? You know what, man? She just got out of a relationship.
You might want to give her a little space.
David, are you implying you don't think I have a chance with her? Yeah.
I don't think you have a chance.
All right, man, whatever you say.
By the way, she hates champagne.
Erik.
Hi, Donna.
I was just in the neighborhood, thought I'd drop by.
Can I come in? Uh yeah, sure.
Um, I was just about to go downstairs and meet friends, so There's no hurry, right? Do you like champagne? Oh.
Mm.
Actually, my record with it's not so great.
Mine, either.
But that doesn't stop me.
Oh, excuse me.
Hello? Hey.
Just tell him you're late for dinner, and your friends are wondering where you are.
Right.
Okay.
I'll be right down.
Okay, thanks.
Ah.
I'd like to drink to that wonderful smile of yours.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
You know, I got to go downstairs for dinner 'cause my friends are waiting.
Oh.
I thought maybe you and I could have dinner tonight.
Oh.
Well, I suppose you could join us.
Really? I mean, if you don't mind being with a bunch of strangers.
Of course not.
I'm easy.
Yeah.
So I'll just, uh, leave this here.
Great.
For later.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, everyone, hang on.
I need your attention, please? Oh, Bran, you're not gonna make a toast are you? Well, I was thinking about it, Steve.
I had a little something prepared, but, uh, for your sake, I'll keep this simple.
Thank you.
I love you, man.
Well, thanks, Brandon.
I know you put a lot of time and effort into preparing that speech, so I appreciate that.
Yeah, I did.
Hear.
Hear.
Happy birthday, Steve.
And now let me, uh, pass the torch over to David and Donna.
I think they have a little surprise for you, young Steve.
Yes.
Steve, Donna and I, uh, did a little searching and put this little video - together for you.
- You didn't.
We did.
And now you're gonna have to sweat through what we lovingly call, "The Celluloid Salute - to Steve.
" - Lights, please.
Oh, no.
Who did that? You dug deep.
Ah so cute.
Where'd you guys find this stuff? Nice teeth, huh? Hey, Steve.
As we say in Hong Kong What, what'd he say?! Which means, "Happy birthday.
" Happy birthday.
We love you.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
Happy birthday.
Hey, bro.
Here's to your 21 st birthday.
Yeah, and how come we weren't invited? I mean, was it 'cause of that whole liquor thing? 'Cause if it was, you know we have that under control now, I mean Yeah, well, in honor of you, I'm drinking milk.
And I'm drinking toxic waste.
So it's all okay.
I want to be just like you.
Grow up to be big and strong.
Mean and vicious.
Ooh.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, uh, happy birthday, bro.
Happy birthday.
Keep drinking.
Uh, excuse me.
Can you direct me to the Steve Sanders dinner party? Thank you.
Well, that's enough advice, son.
Hope you and your friends have an incredible weekend.
I love you, pal.
Steve, sweetheart, happy birthday.
And I want you to come and see me in New York for a couple of weeks this summer.
And don't forget, your mother loves you very much, and I think about you all the time.
Hey, I know I'm in the room with you right now, but that doesn't stop me from reading this letter to you, Steve.
It arrived this morning from Dylan McKay.
"I couldn't find a camera so the words are "going to have to do.
"Have a great birthday, bud.
"If anyone knows how to celebrate it, you will.
"Miss you.
Miss everyone.
Dylan.
" Happy birthday.
I love you.
Oh.
You guys went to a lot of trouble.
I appreciate it.
Nicely done, guys.
Hey! Did I, did I miss anything? Andrea! Oh, this is the best surprise yet! Oh, are you kidding? I couldn't stay away.
David called, asked me to do the video and I I didn't want to miss anything, so I just caught the first plane out here.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How you doing? - Oh! Happy birthday.
Ah! Ah, here comes the cake, huh? What is that? You got to be kidding me! Thanks, guys.
Make a wish.
Make a wish.
Blow 'em out.
- Come on.
You can do it.
- Make a wish.
Blow harder.
Steve, Steve, it's almost midnight.
Your birthday's almost over.
Give the man a drink.
All right.
A toast! No more bribing bouncers, no more fake IDs.
This is the last drink of the first day of the rest of my life.
This is as best as it gets, my friend.
Don't forget it.
Cut him off, okay? Andrea! Steve! - I am so glad to see you.
- Ah! Are you kidding? I knew your 21 st birthday would be the wildest party I've ever been to.
You know it! Can't miss it! Hey, I want you to meet somebody.
Carl? Carl, Carl, come here! This is my friend Andrea.
I've know her since high school.
I know, you maniac.
We met before at dinner, remember? Andrea came all the way from New Haven, Connecticut.
Hey, you throw a hell of a party there, Carl.
- Thank you.
- Hey, did you see Clare? She's missing all the festivities.
Hey, it's your party.
I'll go find her, all right? Okay, thanks, man.
So when did you talk to Dylan? I didn't.
Then where did the letter come from? Look, Kel, I'm-I'm sure this is bugging you, but I'm telling you the truth, all right? I sent e-mail to Brenda, asking her to do the video message for Steve's birthday and the letter came back from Dylan.
And nothing from Brenda? Uh, it's weird.
Brandon said she's not in London.
I-I don't know.
I just thought you might get upset.
No, I'm not upset.
It was good to hear from him.
Yeah, it was.
Looks like Donna needs my help once again.
Excuse me.
What is it? I'll be right back.
I got a phone call at the front desk.
Oh, you know what? That's okay.
I'm gonna go to bed.
No, no, I'll be right back.
Okay.
Well, looks like the life raft arrived just in time.
That was you? Yeah, that was me.
Well, let me tell you, it couldn't have come any sooner.
What am I gonna do with that guy? I don't know; you're the one who invited him.
Ha, ha.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How come you're not out there having a good time with your friends? I don't have a lot to celebrate.
Well, I think I got some cause for cheer.
You know where he is? No.
But I reached one of his patrons Sterling Penn.
You know him? Yeah.
I can't believe I didn't think of him.
Well, that's my job.
So what did he say? He spoke to Colin two days ago.
Colin was looking to sell some artwork.
Penn wasn't interested.
He let me look at his phone records.
The call came from L.
A.
So there's a pretty good chance that Colin might still be around.
Should I get my hopes up? No.
But you should try and have a good time.
Yeah, well I'll try.
Um, would you, would you like to dance? No, I never dance when I'm working.
Have a nice night, Ms.
Malone.
You, too, Mr.
Ballen.
Guys, I think I've had it.
I'm sorry, but I'm-I'm still not feeling very well.
Ah, come on, sweetheart, you gave it a good shot.
We'll see you in the morning.
- Sleep well, guys.
- Bye.
Good night.
So, you having a good time? Mm-hmm.
Aren't you? Yeah, but you seem a little preoccupied.
You ever get a hold of that woman from Washington? Ah, we've been playing phone tag.
Mmm.
You want to dance? Sure.
I want to see more pictures of that baby.
Hey, can I have some of the birthday boy? Hey, you can have him all.
Ah, what's the matter, Steve? Aren't you getting enough of a share, huh? Oh, he takes good care of me, don't you, honey? The best.
Ah, you see, I knew eventually someone would nail Steve's feet to the ground.
Well, I just keep on pounding.
Hallelujah.
Wow, I feel a lot of love in this group.
Hey! Oh, well, you should, because I love you.
And I love you.
And I love you.
And I love you.
And I love everybody! I love you! Here we go.
Okay, come on.
There you go.
- Got him? - Yeah.
Okay, buddy.
You're going down.
The man certainly knows how to have fun.
Well, we'll see how much fun he has in the morning.
What time are we leaving for the polo match? Uh, the bus leaves at noon.
Great.
Thanks for everything.
You're welcome.
You know, um, not everyone could pull this off without looking like the royal jerk that you are.
Another famous Arnold compliment.
Thank you.
No, I mean it.
You've been a really great friend.
Look, um, I was thinking about taking a walk around deck.
Would you like to join me? I better not.
You sure? It's a beautiful night.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Okay.
Well, uh, good night, then.
Night.
I can't thank you guys enough.
This is shaping up to an unforgettable weekend.
You know, it's getting pretty late.
We should probably turn in.
Well, don't stay up on account of us.
We're doing fine.
Yeah, it's okay, David.
You can go to bed.
All right, you guys have fun.
See you in the morning.
Night.
Donna, the night is young.
Yeah.
Um, you know, Erik, I think there's something that I should tell you.
I know.
You just broke up with your boyfriend.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, I got a great set.
Right.
No.
Actually, um I'm-I'm not the girl for you.
What, are you gay or something? No, even better.
I'm a virgin.
What? Yep.
I'm gonna wait till I get married.
You're kidding.
Oh, no, no, that's that's something you definitely don't joke about.
- Wow.
- Actually, it makes my life a lot less complicated.
I just wanted to tell you, you know, so you didn't get the wrong idea.
Hey, nice night, huh? Hi beautiful.
Mmm I'm gonna head for bed.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Night.
Well, um, look, uh, since we're not really on a date here Right, you know, like I said, - I want you to have fun.
- Excellent.
I'll, uh, see you in the morning.
Okay, right, good night, Erik.
Hey, Kel, want a nightcap? Oh, I can't believe how much I danced last night.
- Oh, Hannah is so adorable.
- Yeah.
How old is she here? Hmm, that was Christmas.
She was a year and a half.
She's gonna be two years old next week.
- How come you didn't bring her? - Oh, please, a crazy trip, 36 hours? You have never flown on an airplane with a two-year-old.
You're right.
How's Jesse? How you guys doing? Oh, he loves his work.
Well, that's great.
- You sound happy.
- Oh, yeah.
I heard you had a tough year.
Andrea, I made some horrible choices.
I ended up in rehab.
I had to take incomplete on my whole semester.
I just feel like my life is going nowhere.
Kel, everybody makes mistakes.
You gotta give yourself some time.
Be good to yourself.
That might help you make the right choices.
Hey, you guys.
We gotta make a move.
The bus is loading.
Okay.
We'll drop it off on the way.
Hi, I'm Susan Keats.
The operator told me I had a fax.
Yes, it's right here.
- Great, thanks.
- You're welcome.
Susan, come on.
We're gonna be late.
Guys.
We gotta get a move on.
Where are Joan and Nat? Uh, Nat called.
Joan's still not feeling well.
Ow, don't bite my hand.
- Ow - Hey, where's Valerie? Relax.
She said she'd be right out.
So, we meet again.
Shall I save you a seat? Oh, no, that's okay.
I'm sitting with my friend, Andrea.
I accept that, as long as we can sit together for lunch.
Okay.
What how do I what do I do with him? Mmm, just tell him you're a virgin.
Worked for me.
Will you be reachable today? Uh, no, I don't think so, um, but I'll be back late this afternoon.
Good.
What are you doing today? Waiting.
That's what a lot of my job is.
Well, I hope Jonesy's paying for your room.
Oh, he is.
Well, since you're not doing anything but waiting, why don't you come with us? Hmm You do have a beeper, right? Yeah, yeah, I do.
I should probably stay by the phone.
What does it take to crack your ice anyway? I'm just looking out for your interests.
Good.
Then, you're going.
The prince lofts a beautiful drive that's picked off right out of the mouth of the goal by Sanchez.
Folks, that just may be the defensive play of the match, if not the entire tournament.
There's a bad shot.
Now a big bump by Prince Carl.
Kicks it over to his defenseman who takes it up and sends the ball upfield to the charging receiver, Swegel, with a beautiful approach, but now it gets ridden hard.
Tries to tap it in at a difficult angle while he's being bumped.
That was beautiful concentration.
Yeah, go, go, go! Team Santa Barbara will take control as Dean picks it up off the offside excellent hook by Norman.
Whoa, the pony rears its head, and it looks like Dean Well, it looks like Erik finally lost the scent.
- I just told him the truth.
- Let me guess.
He asked if he could be your first.
The ball is hit over the end line.
Who's that, uh, that babe with Val? An FBI agent who's supposed to be finding Colin.
Looks like he's hard at it, huh? I'll be right back.
I'm gonna use the ladies' room.
Sorry we didn't get to spend more time together last night.
Well, we have all weekend, don't we? Yes, we do.
With a pass up the field, charging hard on goal, but he's ridden off by Sanchez.
The ball goes about Excuse me.
I need to make a call.
This could be something about our boy.
I hope so.
We could be in for another spectacular finish, folks.
Wow, I, uh, got a hold of that woman in, uh, Washington while you were in the shower.
Oh, yeah, what did she have to say for herself? Mmm, this.
A job offer? Yeah.
Youth advisor, Campaign '96.
It starts this summer, though, and I'd have to drop out of school, move to Washington until after the election, and it's you know, it's not for me.
Good.
For a second there, you had me worried.
Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
The prince takes control.
There he is.
Look at that horse go! Sanchez throws a nice hook while the prince barrels down mallet-high and pops a beauty through the uprights with a nice offside shot, giving him a hat trick for the day.
Outstanding.
With an assist from Mr.
Ed.
Is this great? I think I'm gonna take riding lessons.
What do you think? Oh, Lord.
Hey, Clare did you see Carl this morning? No, did you? Yeah, we had coffee earlier.
He was really in a bad mood.
Hardly said a word to me before he left for the field.
He's probably just had his game face on.
Mmm, no, I don't think so.
Something's bothering him.
Did anything happen last night after I fell asleep? No, we just said good night, and he went for a walk.
Clare, you didn't give him a hard time? No, I didn't.
Don't worry about it.
He'll be fine.
I have a lot of friends here that I've known for a long, long time.
You all know how much I love you, but we all have a new friend in town.
Here's to the party pooh-bah, Prince Carl of Montmartre.
- Here, here.
- Absolutely, cheers.
- Thank you, Steve.
Everybody, bon appétit.
Hey, important call? I think so.
Your friend Kelly's help paid off.
I just got word that this Claudia Van Eyck called a pay phone in the port district of San Pedro this morning.
Well, that's just on the other side of the harbor.
What does it mean? Well, if you were trying to smuggle yourself out of the country, that's where you might leave from.
I got a call in to Mrs.
Van Eyck.
You know, when you told me Jonesy sent you, I was sure there was something wrong with you, but you are good.
Very good.
Right.
So, Kel, any band you want to see, just say the word.
I can get front row to anything.
No, actually, I'm concentrating on my studies.
Well, there's always time to have fun.
Why don't we go out next week? Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I'm three months out of rehab, and my ex-boyfriend was busted for possession and flight from justice, so I'm pretty much recovering right now.
Wow, tell me more.
I'd like to get to know you better.
You would, huh? Yeah.
Oh.
Oh I'm sorry.
I must have dropped my fork.
Excuse me.
Bye-bye.
Carl, you all right? You seem a little off today.
Well, there is something on my mind, and, uh, there's no easy way to lead up to this, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it.
- Shoot.
- I'm in love with Clare.
Come on.
When you think about it, it makes sense.
I mean, we're good friends, so of course, we'd fall for the same girl.
I don't know what to say about that, Carl.
Listen, you told me you had no definite plans with her for the future, and you were serious, right? Yeah, but So, all I want is the opportunity to express my feelings to her, and I'd like your permission.
You know, it's not like you're asking to borrow my basketball, Carl.
I'm asking for a favor, Steve.
Give me the chance, and may the best man win.
Bran, what was I supposed to do? Carl cornered me.
I know the way Clare feels about me.
He's just gonna make a fool of himself.
Now, you sound pretty confident, bro.
I just hope for your sake she doesn't decide she wants to be a princess.
It's not gonna happen; I'm just giving him enough rope to hang himself.
Besides, he was a gentleman to me.
I've got to be a gentleman to him.
I don't know, a punch in the face sounds like a better idea.
Brandon, I'm not punching him in the face.
- Why not? - Hey, guys.
- Hey.
You gotta come down here and see this.
Every Greek from Santa Monica to La Jolla just showed up in the lobby.
- It's a madhouse.
- Oh, yeah? Think they brought me presents? Only Greeks, huh? No Italians, no Turks? Lots of fallopians.
Fallopians? How's everybody doing tonight? Welcome to Stevestock.
And now my, uh my birthday present to you guys.
The Goo Goo Dolls! How ya'll doing? Good to see you.
Uh, we've never played a birthday party before, but, uh at least not intentionally.
But what the hell, a party's a party.
Okay, it's all set.
You got the money? Yeah, I got the money right here.
Dock 32.
The "Orinoco Queen.
" At 5:30 you just be there.
Somebody'll show up and take you aboard.
Who? Just be there.
And don't ask any questions.
He won't speak English.
Come on.
Good luck.
Here comes your G-man.
Yeah, he does kinda stand out, doesn't he? Yeah.
Hi, uh, how-how's it going? Making progress.
Will you be on board all evening, Ms.
Malone? Yeah, that's the plan.
Good.
- I may have something later.
- Okay.
He means what he says and says what he means, huh? Yes, very refreshing, isn't it? Um, hey, I'll be right back.
I gotta go back to the room.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
I just need to make a phone call.
Be right back.
Well, I guess I better go with her, huh? Ladies.
Hey, listen, do you mind if I make this call in private? Yeah, sure.
What's going on? Nothing.
The, um, people in Washington are just pressuring me for an answer, that's all.
But I thought you made your mind up already? I did.
- Hi! - Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hi.
Bye-bye.
So, you having a good time? - Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
- Yeah? Are you gonna come back to the party? Uh, I don't know.
Brandon, what's wrong? Nothing.
Hey, this is your old friend Andrea Zuckerman, remember? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I remember.
So, what's wrong? Uh, what can I say? Women.
Oh, I see, you can't live with 'em And I can't live with 'em.
- Brandon, you'll figure it out.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
It's good to see you.
Oh, you, too.
I love you.
- Let's go back to the party.
- Okay.
May I cut in? Sure, Carl.
Is that all right with you, Steve? Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You think our mothers might have danced in this ballroom? Maybe, but who were they dancing with? You know what they say.
Things happen on board a ship.
Hey, come on.
We're talking about our moms here.
Well, they were human, too.
I'm sure there were a lot of eligible bachelors on board.
Yeah, I guess.
Clare? Yeah? I've fallen in love with you.
And I know that you and Steve are together, but that's the way I feel.
Listen, I talked to Steve about this.
- You talked to Steve about this? - Yes, and as an agreement between gentlemen, we decided that it's up to you.
Oh, really? So, um, Steve traded me so he could stay friends with a prince? No, no, of course not.
I mean, I just want you to understand that it's all right with Steve that you This is all right with Steve? Well - Excuse me.
- Clare.
Clare! Get out here! Get out here now! How could you do this to me? I thought you cared.
I thought we had something real here.
We do.
Look, I just wanted to be fair.
The guy wanted a chance.
How could I blame him? Just go tell him you're not interested.
That's not the point, okay? You were willing to let me go.
I don't want to be with you if you're so willing to let me go.
Clare, what was I supposed to do? Punch out a prince? Well, it's better than trading me for a week in the French Riviera.
No, no, that's not what happened.
Is everything okay here? It will be after I do this.
Sorry, Carl.
What the hell's wrong with you? You just told me you wanted me to do that! No, I didn't.
God, how could you be so stupid? Oh, I think - it's broken.
- Oh, it's broken.
You broke his nose.
You happy? Come on.
We'll find a doctor.
You don't even talk to me, okay? Hey! What's going on? You coming down or what? I needed a chance to collect my thoughts.
You took the job, didn't you? Brandon, - I - You took the job? You took the job?! I'm sorry, okay? I applied for this before I even met you.
There were over I never dreamed that this would happen.
Great.
That makes me feel a lot better.
Please, I can't turn this down.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for the presidential campaign.
It's just too important.
And what was my job in Boston? I know.
You have every right to be angry.
You turned down your job for our summer together, but this could be really big things for the both of us if you'll just have a little faith.
Faith.
That's funny you talking about faith.
Have a nice night.
All right, thanks a lot.
We're gonna take a little break.
Happy birthday, Steve.
You know what? I'm gonna go see how Joan's doing.
Oh, well, if you see Steve, tell him to get back in here.
- He's missing his whole party.
- Okay.
- The whole thing.
- Imagine that.
- Hi.
I've been looking for you, And-rea.
Ah-ndrea.
Right.
David, Donna.
This girl is really great.
I'm thinking about offering her a job.
Well, thank you, but I-I already have a job.
Really? What do you do that's fantastic? I'm a mom and I have a beautiful two-year-old daughter.
That's great.
Yes, I also have a wonderful husband who is on the tenure track for a full professorship at the Yale Law School, and I'm hoping to start medical school at Yale in the fall of '97.
Really? Really, but, hey, if, you know, if you have something more interesting to offer me, by all means, - go ahead.
- Um, so you got any pictures of your kid? Yes, yeah, I do.
Mm-hmm.
Why don't you show me some while we walk on the deck.
Uh, that guy doesn't catch on too quickly, does he? He sure is persistent.
I think it's a percentage thing.
What about you? You want to take a walk on the deck? I don't know.
It's kinda romantic.
Yeah, well, I wasn't thinking about talking business.
How many glasses of champagne have you had? Enough.
You want to walk? All righty.
Let's go.
Man, I am out of here! Brother, I am right behind you.
I can't believe what Susan did to you.
And Clare what is with our women? - It's unbelievable.
- I need a nightcap.
Where's the most disgusting place we can go? Well, this is a seaport.
You know what? Muntz told me that there was a peeler bar in San Pedro.
Peeler bar.
Nice nighty.
What? What is so funny? You.
You make me laugh.
Why, 'cause I had champagne coming out my nose? Yeah.
Thought that was funny? Oh.
It was so funny.
Come on.
Do it again.
Mm.
No way.
Mm.
You know what I was just thinking? What? I was thinking about kissing you.
You were? Mm-hmm.
Oh.
That is funny.
Why? Why is that funny? Because I was just thinking about kissing you, too.
Oh.
Why? You think we should? Mm.
No, probably not.
No, no, no.
Although I got to admit, I am enjoying the thought of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
Oh, David.
You know what I am thinking about right now? What? Pouring this glass of champagne all over your face.
Oh, that's very funny, but you wouldn't do that.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Yeah, I would.
You must really hate me.
Oh, I hate you so much.
- Mmm.
- Ah.
Okay.
Take these.
Strongest the doctor could do without a prescription.
Thanks.
Okay.
Have you heard from Steve yet? No.
He disappeared.
Probably off somewhere diluting his sorrow.
Think he's coming back? I don't care.
I don't care what he does anymore.
You sure about that? I'm not sure about anything right now.
Don't press me, okay? Okay.
Um Did you throw this this whole party for Steve so you could get to me? No.
You kind of just snuck up on me when I wasn't looking.
And I couldn't help it.
There's, uh, something I want to show you in the top drawer over there.
Go ahead and open it.
Oh, my God.
I've never seen this before.
The wonders of overnight delivery.
I'd like you to have it.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Clare, I want you to know that my feelings for you are real.
There's a connection between us, Clare.
You can't just say that.
You can't just snap your fingers and make something happen, you know? I could make you happy.
I am happy.
Okay, but just do something for me? What? Think about it.
Think about us.
Think about what your mom said that we'd be married some day.
She told me that, too.
So, can it be that wrong? I got to go, okay? Clare.
I'll talk to you about this in the morning, okay? Good night.
- Hey, Val.
- Hey.
Where's Joan? She's still feeling under the weather.
Uh, I told her I'd take her back home, but she insists that I stay to have a good time.
Listen, Nat, Jonesy's man came up with something.
He thinks Colin bought his way on to a freighter that takes off in the morning at San Pedro.
They're going to try and pick him up when he boards.
Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.
It's a '74 Chevelle I really blew it, B.
Uh, Clare will forgive you, man.
She'll never forgive me.
She'll never trust me.
Why-Why should she? She's the smartest girl I'll ever have.
Well, smart girls are dangerous.
Hi.
Dangerous, huh? Yeah, like double coupon night in Amsterdam, you know.
Bartender, I need some anesthesia.
A couple of beers, man.
Two, So, what are you gonna do this summer? I don't know.
Maybe I'll take that trip after all.
You want to come with me? Why not? Nothing else going on.
You can say that again.
Why not? Nothing else going on.
Who are you, Jackie Mason all of a sudden? Hey, never seen an ant run so fast.
Oh, man.
I didn't know the Unabomber had blond hair.
Excuse me, boys? Your whining is really starting to depress me.
I wish you'd please can it.
Why don't you mind your own business? Excuse me? I come in here every night.
All right? You're gonna take my stool, and then you're gonna tell me to mind my own business? What do you mean, your stool? You've been sitting over there since I got here.
That's my stool, too.
- Oh.
- Just ignore him, Steve.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
Now you're going to ignore me.
You guys think you're better than me, don't you? I don't.
You do.
I don't.
Yes, you do.
Maybe a little.
See? I told you.
- Steve, just say you're sorry.
- Mm.
And let's get on with our evening.
We got a lot of drinking to do.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
No.
It's too late for that.
You already hurt my feelings.
Well, cry me a river, okay, pal? You're really asking for it.
Fix my butt, huh, boy? Huh? Come on, man.
I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back, boy.
I could take you out with one lung.
I don't know whether to pick you up and thank the academy, or kick your butt myself.
Steve, Steve, Steve.
You know what really makes me sick? What? Maybe your friends seeing you in girls' clothes? Yeah.
Funny, very funny.
No.
Seeing a big guy like you picking on someone half your size.
Someone call the police.
Whoa.
Steve, Steve, Steve, I just saw Colin! So, are you going to be able to make it to bed okay, or do you need me to undress you myself? I'll be just fine.
So, you think Erik got lucky? Mm.
Depends on how many girls he hit on after Andrea.
How come you don't do that, David? What? Hit on lots of girls? Yeah.
I don't know.
It's just not my style.
Mm.
That's good.
I like your style.
I always felt safe with you.
Even after that little fling I had? No, not then.
But you're just human.
I understood.
It didn't change any of the things I like about you.
I'm glad.
I'm falling asleep.
Yeah, I better get going.
Good night, Donna.
Good night, David.
Uh.
You two can go.
No one's pressing charges.
Sign the bag, and just stay out of trouble, all right? Yes, sir.
Thanks, Officer.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Hey, we should find a phone and call Valerie.
Yeah.
I'll save you the quarter.
Hey, Valerie! What are you guys doing here? We could ask you the same thing.
Got into a little fight - last night.
- Yeah, but that's not important.
What is important is that we saw Colin.
Well, they're not too happy with me.
I tied up a lot of manpower staking out that freighter last night, and Colin never showed up.
What are you guys doing here? They saw Colin.
- Where? - A nearby peeler bar.
- Did he see you? - Yeah.
Well, that could explain why he didn't board ship this morning.
He got cold feet.
So, what do we do now? You mean, what do I do? I check out every cheap motel near the docks.
Do me a favor.
Take these two back to the boat? No, we are going with you.
No, you're not.
I never should have brought you here in the first place.
You heard the man.
Let's go.
Wait.
You guys got in a bar fight? Yeah.
Steve got his butt kicked by some skinny little drunk with only one lung.
Man, you-you got to help me out of here.
There's got to be another boat.
There is tonight.
Another ten K buys you another ticket.
Hey, there is no way you're ripping me off here.
Call the Better Business Bureau.
Did either of you guys see Clare before you left the ship last night? - Uh-uh.
- What about Susan? No.
Why'd you guys leave the party anyway? We were drowning our sorrows.
- Susan dumped Brandon.
- Hey, can we change the subject, please? Hey, stop the car.
- What? - There's Colin! Call the police.
Man! All right, man you go down here.
I'm gonna run back this way.
You all right, Bran? Yeah.
H-Hey, there goes Colin! Colin! Give it up, man.
There's no place to go.
Have a nice life, Colin.
I'm sorry, Valerie.
No, you're not.
You guys showed me up.
You did a great job.
- Thanks.
- Anytime.
Well, without you, we never would have gotten close.
Didn't I bet you a dinner that we would get our man? No, but I'll play along.
Of course, it's not even lunch yet.
Well, we can do lunch, too.
Yeah, I guess we could.
You know, I still say something's wrong with him if Jonesy sent him.
Actually, Jonesy told me to watch out for you.
Oh, he did, did he? Oh.
By the way, Kel, thanks.
I'd like to say it was a pleasure, but it wasn't.
The feeling's mutual.
Well, now that that's all done, it's time to get back to the real world.
Remember that? What are you worried about, big man? You told me Clare can't stand the guy.
We'll see.
You know, I'm just glad to see that this whole experience has brought you and Valerie a little closer together.
Your arm feels good there, Brandon.
So, Andrea, you really can't stick around, huh? Oh, no, I wish I could.
I can't believe I'm not gonna be able to say good-bye to Kelly, Steve, or Brandon.
Well, we'll tell them you love them.
- Oh.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Andrea, where you going? - You just got here.
- Steve, great party.
Too bad you missed most of it.
Brandon, what happened to you? You look like you've been through the wringer.
Well, we were playing cops and robbers.
Fortunately, our favorite fugitive's back in the pokey.
- Colin? - Finally.
Yep, Nat and Valerie are off the hook.
Oh, guys, I got to go.
I love you.
Take care.
Happy birthday.
- Say hello to Jesse.
- Good-bye.
Bye, take care.
- Bye.
- I love you.
All right, you guys, I'll be back next summer.
E-mail me.
- I will.
- E-mail.
Send us pictures of the baby.
Bye.
I didn't even get to spend any time with her.
Neither did I.
Did anybody see Clare? - No.
- How about Susan? I saw her on the deck.
See you guys later.
He's having a rough time.
Yeah, aren't we all? I'm not.
Yeah, me neither.
I thought you'd be gone by now.
I couldn't leave without saying good-bye.
Well, that's big of you.
You're not even gonna try to talk me out of it, are you? Do you want me to? The part of me that is my heart breaking desperately doesn't want to leave you, Brandon.
And what about the other part of you? I know this must seem like a double standard to you.
You gave up your job for me and now I won't do the same thing for you.
Exactly.
It is so hard for a woman to get ahead in this world.
I have to do this.
If I don't, I am always going to wonder.
You know what, Keats? Don't worry about it, okay? If I don't vote for you for president, you'll understand, right? Can I call you when I get there, give you my number? No, I'm gonna be on the road.
Forget about your trip.
Brandon, come with me to Washington.
There are so many opportunities for someone like you.
No, I don't think so.
You could you could stay with me.
They're, they're putting me up.
I'll tell you what.
If I, uh, if I drive through, I'll look you up.
Okay, I guess.
Kiss me good-bye, at least? Yeah.
Good-bye, Susan.
Good luck.
Excuse me, ma'am? Have you made up that room yet today? Not yet, but I'll be getting right to it.
No, that's okay.
It wasn't slept in.
Did you sleep okay? I didn't sleep at all.
I must have walked every inch of this ship thinking about things.
And what'd you come up with? I love Steve.
I know he's not perfect and he does stupid things and makes me mad, but I want to be with him.
I hope you understand.
Well, that was succinct.
I don't I don't want this to affect, you know, your friendship with Steve, okay? It won't.
Even though he did punch me in the nose, Steve's a good friend.
Good.
But what about what your mom said? She wanted you to marry a prince, Clare.
Well, to me, Steve is a prince.
How cozy.
What happened to you? I got into a fight, Clare.
I got into a couple of fights.
In fact, I'm even thinking about getting into one more.
Relax, Steve.
Oh, yes, Your Highness.
Anything you want, you got it, even the woman I love most in the world.
Is that how it is? Is it? No, that's not the way it is.
I said, "May the best man win," and he has.
You have a good trip back to L.
A.
Uh, maybe we can all get together for dinner this weekend.
What do you say? Nothing happened between you two? Nothing happened.
She loves you, Steve.
Okay, then, I say dinner's on me.
That'll be nice for a change.
Besides, this party broke my whole allowance for the month.
Thanks for the party, Carl.
Good-bye, Clare.
Bye, Carl.
Kiss me, you fool.
Are you talking to me? Well, I don't see any other fools around here, do you? How could this have happened? We used a condom.
Yeah? How long you been carrying that thing around? Oh, I'm sorry.
Nat, what are we gonna tell everybody? We're not gonna tell them anything.
Well, I'm gonna be showing in a couple of months.
And I'm gonna be a father.
It still hasn't sunk in, okay? Can you believe it? If that drugstore pregnancy test is accurate, my grandchildren are going to have a new aunt or uncle.
Nat, we got to tell everybody something.
They're gonna think I'm still sick.
Uh leave it to me.
I-I'll think of something, okay? Okay.
All right.
Hey, guys.
You ready to go? All set.
Valerie gave me the good news about Colin.
- What a relief.
- Yeah, it's great, huh? Where's Susan? She's in Washington, DC.
We broke up.
I don't want to talk about it.
Brando, Joan and I have some news, and we want you to be the first to hear it.
Sounds serious.
It is.
Joanie and I are going Joanie and I are getting married.
We are? I mean we are.
You guys are gonna get married.
That's great news.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
How do you like that, huh? I like it.
How about you, Joanie? You like that news? Yeah.
I like it.
That's good.
We all like it, so, uh, that's settled.
Excuse me.
Joan, did, uh did you know about this? I do now.
It's a hell of a nice club.
Glad I could help save it.
Yeah, it really kicks into gear right after 11:00.
Can I get you a drink for the road, or are you still on duty? I'll have a single malt.
I think I'll join you.
So, uh, it's a shame you have to leave so soon.
Yeah, but I'll be back.
You see, this trip, it had two purposes.
I've applied for reassignment to Los Angeles.
You did? Couple of weeks ago.
Might not come through, but you never know.
Well I hope it does.
I hope so, too.
Here's to hoping.
So are you as trustworthy and loyal as you seem, Mr.
Ballen? What can I say, Ms.
Malone? It's a curse.
So how come no girl has scooped you up already? Well, when you get right down to it, I don't think that most women like those traits in a man.
It's too much to live up to.
Is that a challenge? I don't know.
How good are you? Not bad.
Well I should probably catch that plane.
Yeah.
I'll call you.
You better.
Hey.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
Yeah, it is.
Ocean smells great, doesn't it? Yeah, it smells like summer.
There's already people partying on the beach.
I, uh, I wanted to thank you for this weekend.
I had a lot of fun with you.
It was cool.
Yeah.
You know, I've been, uh thinking a lot about us.
I have, too.
Really? What have you been thinking about? No.
No.
Come on.
You brought it up.
You, uh, you go first.
Okay.
Well, I, um I just had a really nice time with you this weekend.
I just been thinking a lot about, you know, you and-and me.
You and me, you you mean, you and me as in you and me together? Well, stranger things have happened.
People do get back together after dating other people.
And we certainly have dated other people.
You know what? This is crazy.
Uh, we've been down this road before, and-and it didn't work then.
Right.
I mean, we'd only fight.
We'd fight all the time.
Yeah.
Well, you know what? I'm-I'm glad we, uh, agree on that.
I still love you though.
I know.
I love you, too.
What are we saying? We love each other, but but we can't see each other, except when we're working of course.
Of course.
So, why don't we try it? I mean, if it doesn't work, if doesn't work.
Right.
And if it-it works, it works.
Wait.
I mean, are, are we saying that we're gonna start going out again? Is-is that right? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess that's what we're saying.
So can I kiss you now? Yeah.
I think that'd be a good idea.
Kel.
Hi.
Hi.
Can I come in? Yeah.
Sorry.
Come on in.
Yeah.
What's the matter? Nothing really.
I just don't feel like being alone.
Steve and Clare here? No, no, they're still out celebrating.
Val's at the club.
I'm actually glad you're here.
I was just kind of kicking around by myself.
So, um, - can I get you something? - No.
I'm fine.
Thanks.
Um, I got a letter from Dylan.
Wanted me to know he was in London.
I had an e-mail waiting for me from Brenda.
Said the same thing.
Did she mention that they were living together? Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
Brandon do you think there will ever be a chance for us again? Yeah, sure.
If you want there to be.
I do.
I guess I always have.
I tried so hard to do the right thing last year when I turned you down.
I-I told myself I was making the right choice, but I really didn't have any choice at all.
Yeah, you did.
Choosing between you and Dylan? Think about how that would've affected the two of you.
What kind of choice is that? Well, maybe you're right.
I just want another chance.
If you think you could let that happen.
You know, Kel, I, I can't say I haven't had those thoughts myself.
But we're both on the rebound, you know.
I think that rushing into something would just be a recipe for disaster.
Maybe we should just give it some time, huh? That's exactly what Andrea said.
Well, Andrea's a smart girl.
She goes to Yale, you know.
Mmm.
Sure you don't want to stay for some dinner? I was gonna order up some Cambodian food.
A little dim sum and then some? No.
No.
I just wanted to talk to you.
Call me sometime.
More than you have been.
I will.
Hi.
Hi, Val.
So, uh, you think you guys are gonna get back together again? You saw that, huh? Yeah, I'm sorry.
I wasn't snooping.
I just didn't want to interrupt.
Well, don't jump to any conclusions.
So are you saying it wouldn't happen? I don't know.
If Dylan and Brenda found each other in a town of 15 million if you include the outlying areas it could happen.
Not if I can help it.
