Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s07e08 Episode Script

That's exactly it.
l l want to know how students are defining themselves.
l don't think that the old party labels fit anymore.
lt's all about whether you're voting -liberally or conservatively.
-You're really passionate about this stuff, aren't you? You have to be.
Think about it, when you go inside that voting booth, you're not just Tracy Gaylian anymore.
You're making decisions for everyone; you're making the law.
You ever think about running the world? Well, it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
You should do it.
l'd like to, but, you know, Mark, my plate's a little full right now.
l got school; l'm running this TV station-- -you're not helping me at all.
-No, no, not run the world-- get on the air, do the show with Tracy; you guys make a great pair.
Not a chance.
oh, come on, Brandon, it'll be fun.
l promise to disagree with almost everything you say.
-And that'll be fun? -Yes, it'll make -great television.
-No, no, no, no.
Pee Wee's Playhouse-- now, that was great TV.
This would not be Ah, working hard, l see.
A little too hard.
What do you say we take a break, guys? Yeah, we're supposed to meet Kelly for a bite at the Peach Pit.
David, you want to go? oh, no.
No, thanks, l can't.
l got to go to my grandmother's tonight in Palm Springs.
We're reading the will tomorrow.
oh, come on, Mark, l guess we better get going.
See you guys there.
Listen, Dave, uh l was real sorry to hear about your grandfather.
l know you guys were close.
Yeah, it's hard to believe he's gone.
l was supposed to visit him last week, and l blew him off.
Hey, don't be too hard on yourself about that.
There's no way you could've known.
Yeah, well, l wish somebody would tell my father.
l feel guilty enough without him beating me up.
ls there anything l can do for you? You need anything? No, no.
No, l'm cool.
Go ahead.
All right.
You take it easy, brother.
-Thanks, man.
-Yeah.
With the legs! on this one! one! Two! Three! okay, power ten in two! one! Two! Hard drive now! And one! Two! Three! Four! Five! okay, one foot back, step up and out.
clare.
clare.
coxswain, huh? Yep.
Very beautiful out there.
Thanks.
What are you doing here? Following me now? l just wanted to talk to you, that's all.
So talk.
l want you back, clare.
lsn't it a bit late for this? Why, because you're with Dick Harrison now? What do you see in that guy? You know, Dick's here at 6:15 every morning.
Every morning.
-oh, l'm impressed.
-He's committed.
He knows what he wants; he goes after it.
He's a mature man, Steve.
Why, because he rows? What, do you think l never rowed a boat before in my life? Give me a break.
-You okay, clare? -Yeah, she's fine.
She was just telling me all about the joys of rowing.
So much so, in fact, l'm thinking about getting -the old KEG shell out myself.
-KEG doesn't row.
Maybe we should.
Whatever.
Let's go.
one sec, okay? Steve, don't go there, okay? Do not collect $200, do not pass go, just go away.
l will.
But l'll be back.
You're such a coward, Kenny.
You know, l have to call before your secretary shows up just to get you on the phone.
What do you want, Valerie? l want the money.
The bank said you put a hold on the check.
Yeah, well, did you have it yet? What do you mean, ''it''? Just go ahead and say it.
The abortion.
Did you have the abortion yet? No.
Well, we had a deal.
l give you $l00,000, and you handle this problem.
Not until l get the money.
You said you were gonna leave her.
No, l know you'd like to pretend this never happened.
l wish l could, too.
But l'm the one who's pregnant here.
No, don't worry, l'll get it done tomorrow.
No, l don't want you there.
You've done enough already, don't you think? l just got home.
-You were listening? -Yeah.
l couldn't help but overhear.
You're pregnant? Listen, Steve, you can't tell anybody, okay? -Valerie -l mean it.
Especially Brandon.
Please promise me, okay? l'm really ashamed here.
okay, Val.
Thanks.
What are you gonna do? Hey, you all set? Yeah.
Yeah, one minute, okay? come in.
Hey.
-Hi.
-cliffs dropping me off at school-- you want a ride? Honestly, l don't even feel like leaving the house.
lt's, like, -everywhere l go, Steve is there.
-Yeah, but you know this is all about winning you back.
come on, aren't you flattered just the teeniest bit? No.
l mean, the whole purpose of me joining crew was to meet new people and forget about him.
l'm just so sick of thinking about him all the time.
Right, but you can't stop, so doesn't that tell you something? Yeah, that you're a hopeless romantic.
Me? -l am not.
-oh, come on.
l mean, this whole thing with cliff.
l mean, what do you really know about this guy? Sure, he's gorgeous, fireman, literally came out of nowhere and swept you off your feet Forget what l said.
You're right.
That's enough.
l know l really like him, because he's taking me hiking tomorrow and l hate hiking.
But he's he's honest and he's sweet and he's tall, rugged, and he smells just a little bit like smoke, kind of like hickory.
Sounds like a barbecue sauce.
-Hey, l've heard you gush before.
-Never.
When? When you were with Steve.
You see, now, that's where l think that the government should step in.
Midriffs, bare thighs-- in class, right? Girls are reaching their tanned, toned arms up high.
l think that's called ''raising your hand,'' junior.
We do it to get the professor's attention.
-Well, it certainly gets his.
-Mm-hmm.
Hey, that doesn't mean that l've got a p-problem with sex.
Because l don't.
TRAcY: No, no issues at all.
l guess that makes me a liberal, huh? Like, l like my government at a distance, okay? l wear what l want.
And that includes belts and hats, okay? l mean, nobody's telling me that l have to strap on a seat belt or, like, wear a helmet on a motorcycle.
They're trying to save your life, sweetheart, not retool your wardrobe.
So, what are you, liberal or conservative? l've been thinking, you know, maybe we shouldn't editorialize.
Just give 'em the students' opinions.
Yeah, maybe.
But in the meantime, where do you stand? Why are you so curious? l just want to know.
To be honest, uh, you could put me down as ''undecided.
'' You know, l see both sides of a lot of issues.
Undecided is good if it keeps you fair.
Although it's not so good if it keeps you on the fence instead of taking action.
-Really? -Yes, really.
l think there comes a point in time in your life when you need to make a decision as to what kind of world you want to live in, what kind of life you want to lead.
Just figure out what you want and go after it? Vacillation is a sure way to offend both sides.
Ah, so you like a woman who knows her own mind.
l like that in everyone.
Uh, well, you know, anarchy, you know, total mass urban revolution, just Well, l should probably get to class.
okay.
See ya.
But there's one thing l've been meaning to ask you.
Fire away.
What do you want to know? When was the last time you made love? -What? -l'm thinking about doing a piece for the campus TV station and, you know, students' attitudes about sex, that kind of thing.
oh, so this is not a personal question? of course not.
lt's a made-for-TV question.
ln that case, l'll answer you.
lt's been a while.
lt's been a while.
okay.
Any changes in status anticipated? Shouldn't you be writing this down? For the show? Well, that last question was a little more personal.
Mm-hmm.
And your answer is? Not for a while.
okay.
okay? -Good.
-And here's another.
l think that this interview is over.
-Wait, just one more: have you ever -No.
Well, how often do you like Never.
You should go.
All right.
See ya.
Hey, Steve.
How's it going? Downhill.
l'm sorry to hear that.
What's the matter, bubeleh? lt's not me, it's a friend.
Usually when someone says that, they're talking about themself.
oh, no, it's not me.
l'm not pregnant.
Pregnant? oh, my God, don't tell me clare's pregnant.
No.
No, not clare.
Then who? Just a friend who has another friend who really ought to know about the first friend's problem.
Steve l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
l can't tell you, Kelly.
l've been sworn to secrecy.
Well l wouldn't want you to tell me, then.
l got to tell somebody, though.
l don't know how to deal with this by myself.
No, no, l would never ask you to betray a confidence like that.
okay, stop pressuring me-- it's Valerie.
-Valerie? -Yeah, and-and, Kelly, you can't say anything.
l really didn't want to bring this up, but l don't know what to do for her.
So the friend that ought to know is Brandon.
Yeah, Brandon would know what to do, but she specifically said not to tell Brandon.
Well, what's she gonna do? She's gonna have an abortion tomorrow.
She's in this all by herself.
Well, where's Kenny? History.
She's all alone.
That's why l thought l should tell Brandon.
No, she'd hate you for that.
Why don't you let me talk to her first.
-You? -Yes, me.
Don't worry, l'll be nice.
Kelly, if she finds out that l told you She won't.
Steve, we are talking major life crisis here.
Nobody should have to go through this alone.
Not even Valerie.
''ln conclusion, l give and bequeath ''to my son, Mel, the sum of $250,000 ''if he shall survive me.
''To my grandson, David, l give and bequeath ''my 1961 Thunderbird convertible ''and the sum of $250,000 if he shall survive me.
''All of the rest, residue and remainder ''of the property l own, real and personal, ''at the time of my death, l give, bequeath and devise to my spouse, Adele, if she shall survive me.
'' okay? Any questions? Uh, no.
No.
Thanks for coming by the house, George.
oh, sure, Mel.
l can't believe this.
Your grandfather loved you, David very much.
Did you know about this? No.
No, l didn't.
lt's unbelievable.
Here we go.
Have you talked to Valerie lately? Yeah, l talk to her every day.
How does she seem to you? Like Valerie.
Why? What's up? Everything okay? Yeah, l'm meeting her here.
You and Valerie? l thought you two don't even talk.
Well, we have something to talk about now.
Here she is.
Should l hide the breakables? Hi, Val.
Hey.
Hi.
Glad you got my message.
So what did l do wrong now? Nothing.
l just thought we should get together.
Well, can you get to the point? 'cause l'm kind of having a bad day.
All right.
Look, l know we're not close, but if you want to talk or if there's anything l can help you to get through this ''Through this.
'' This what? l know you're pregnant.
-l guessed.
-Yeah, right.
-Who else did Steve tell? -No one.
He's just worried about you.
So am l.
oh, come on, Kelly, l sleep with a married man, l get knocked up and he dumps me.
He won't even return my calls now.
You couldn't have planned a happier ending with a Voodoo doll and a lock of my hair.
No.
You've got it all wrong.
l wouldn't wish this on anybody.
All right? Look, l know how Kenny is.
l used to baby-sit his kid.
You don't think he hit on me? So that's supposed to make me feel better now? Look, l'm just saying that l'm not blaming you.
Believe me, l did not come here to hurt you.
So what did you come here for? l am trying really hard to put our past behind us here.
l just want you to know that l'm here for you if you need me.
Woman to woman.
You know what l mean? Well, it's been really hard not having anybody to talk to.
l'm sure it has.
You know, when you're seeing a married man, you can't tell everybody that you're happy, and you figure nobody wants to know when it's over.
lt's been pretty lonely.
Well, what are you gonna do? Steve also told me that you have an appointment tomorrow.
Why don't l come with you? No, Kelly, l need to do this by myself.
l've been through this before with my mother-- it's not gonna be easy.
You should have somebody with you.
-Kelly, please.
-l'm picking you up, and that's final.
You need a friend right now.
Even if it's me.
come on there, slowpoke.
Aren't we supposed to stop and smell the roses? Well, l wouldn't get too close to that one.
That's, um, poison sumac.
oh.
cool.
Hey, what about this one? Well, it's not much to look at, but it tastes good.
Smells like -rosemary? -Very good.
Ah.
You know, there's some sage here.
We can use this for dinner.
oh.
l didn't know dinner was included with this hike.
Well, that is, if you're free.
Well, that depends.
Uh, would that be the main course? No.
l did bring some supplies in my pack.
You know, about a mile away from here there's a lake.
lt's a really beautiful spot.
Great.
Lead on.
All right, we're gonna show Dick and his idiots we can do this.
You all right, Pauly? lt's so skinny.
l didn't think it would be so skinny.
lt's no big deal; it's stable.
Go ahead, get in.
-Whoa.
-Bend your knees.
Stay low, stay low! -Stay low! -Whoa! Hey, guys, it works better if you stay in the boat, okay? Thanks for the tip, Dick.
Hey, l'm just trying to help.
Well, why don't you stay out of the way.
l don't foresee a problem there.
Let us know when you manage to get your oars in the water.
You guys think you're so hot.
We challenge you.
Yeah, right.
-We'll kick your butt.
-Wait, wait a minute, you actually want to race us? -No, he doesn't.
-Yeah, we do.
We just need a little practice, that's all.
l don't know, Sanders, you know, some of us graduate in May.
okay, pal, you pick the time-- how's that? A week from today.
-Deal.
-Deal.
Let's go, guys.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
'61 Thunderbird.
lt's the first car l ever drove.
l remember when Grandpa took me out to the desert and, uh, l couldn't reach the pedals, so he let me sit on his lap and steer.
l remember that day.
oh, you were so excited.
Look, Grandma, about last week lt doesn't matter.
l'm sorry l wasn't here.
Well, he asked after you-- l told him you were on your way.
So he didn't know? He loved you, David, and he knew you loved him-- that's what matters.
This was Grandpa's pride and joy, David.
Take good care of it.
Yeah, l plan to.
By the way, l talked to the attorney this morning, and we had a great idea for the money that Grandpa left you.
Really? What's that? We're gonna set up a trust.
A trust? -How does that work? -Well, the money will be invested on your behalf, and as the trustee, l'll release it as need be.
Like an allowance.
Mm-hmm.
ls that how Grandpa wanted it? He didn't specify.
Then why are you trying to screw with it? Mel, maybe we should just go inside and talk about this.
come on, come on inside.
l'll put something out for us, we'll talk.
l'll be in in a minute, Mom.
David, it's a quarter of a million dollars.
That's a big responsibility.
So what, l'm not responsible? l'm doing this for you.
David, we're not finished.
You heard the lawyer-- the money's mine.
Grandpa believed in me, even if you don't.
l'll contest this, David.
l'll take you to court if l have to.
You're just the type of father to do that, aren't you? You bet l am.
We're not through here.
Where are you going? l don't know, the nearest bar? You think because some bartender serves you, you're an adult? lt takes more than that, David.
Dad, l'm never gonna be an adult to you, whether l'm 21 or 41-- that's never gonna change, will it? Hello? Kelly, hi.
lt's Valerie.
Hey, l was just on my way over.
Listen, l'm glad l caught you.
Um Kenny called.
He's gonna take me to the clinic.
-Really? -Yeah, he's on his way over right now.
He cleared his whole day for me.
Are you sure you want him there? Look, l know l painted a pretty bleak picture of our relationship, but l think this will give us closure.
All right.
Um, why don't l stop by later? No, you don't have to, it's okay.
l want to.
l can't get rid of you, can l? Not likely.
okay.
lt'll be good to see you.
Hang in there, Val.
lt's gonna be okay.
Yeah.
Thanks.
l'll call you when it's over.
All right.
Let's make camp here.
Then, uh, we'll take a walk around the lake.
okay.
Um, here in the shade? Yeah.
Here, l got it.
-Thanks.
-Mm-hmm.
Uh, well, l bet you did a lot of camping as a kid.
only on the fire escape.
l grew up in Manhattan.
You're a city kid? Hell's Kitchen, until l joined the Navy.
But l did go to school uptown.
So, along the way l used to pass through central Park every day.
You learned survival skills in central Park? No, l learned those in Hell's Kitchen.
But, uh, l met a ranger in the park.
ln New York city? Absolutely.
Great guy, l mean, he let me follow him around and later got me to join the service.
He taught you all about nature? He kept me out of trouble.
l mean, l'll never forget him.
He saved my life.
So you could save mine.
Yeah.
Thanks for walking me back.
No problem, no problem.
You want to come in for a minute? No, no, l can't, l got a class, you got a paper to write, l'll see you tomorrow.
So, you can come back tonight.
l gotta edit tonight.
l'll be lucky if l get out of there before midnight.
l'll see ya.
So, come by after.
But you'll be in bed.
l know.
We were talking about deciding what you want and going after it, -weren't we? -Yes, we were.
That's what l'm doing.
Trace, it it's not that l'm, l'm not attracted to you Hmm, you have a funny way of showing it.
Look, if we sleep together, it's it's gonna mean something.
lt's going to mean something to me, too.
l'm not looking for a casual thing here.
Yeah, but you see, l'm not looking for a serious thing right now.
okay, l understand.
No, Trace, l don't think you do.
Brandon.
Thank you for meeting me on such short notice, Linda.
oh, l am so glad that you called me when your plans changed.
l spend so much time at the Friendship House, that the only way l ever get to do anything is at the last minute.
My work with you at the hospice really put me in good standing with the Psychology department.
l'm thinking maybe next semester l'll That's weird.
What's weird? Um, l know him.
-Hey, Kelly.
-Hi.
How are you? Good, what are you doing here? My office is just up the street.
Hi, Kenny Bannerman.
-oh, sorry.
-Linda Hill.
Nice to meet you, Linda.
So, you're having lunch? Yeah, l've been in meetings all morning and l'm out for a quick bite, and, uh, back into the trenches we go.
Say hi to your mom and Mel for me, would you? Mm-hmm, sure.
Give my love to Diane and Michael.
l will.
Have a good lunch.
Bye.
l don't get this.
What? His being here, he's uh, supposed to be someplace else.
ls something wrong? Yeah, yeah, something's very wrong.
-Hey, Kel.
-Hey.
l'm just on my way out.
What's going on? l'm looking for Steve.
He's upstairs with Valerie.
She's got the flu or something.
You don't want to catch it.
-No, l don't.
-okay.
-l'll see you later.
-All right.
Hey, Kel.
Hey, how's she doing? Uh, not so good.
She's been in bed all day.
Why don't you go up? -Hey.
-Hey.
l picked up these tabloids for you.
l thought they'd be good for a laugh, of course, every word is true.
And l thought my life was bad.
Thanks.
How are you feeling? lt was really horrible.
A lot worse than l thought it was going to be.
How's Kenny holding up? l know he's hurting, but he's been a real trooper.
So, he really came through for you? He was by my side the whole day.
Hmm l saw him at lunch.
You saw Kenny? Yeah, yeah.
l was having lunch in Beverly Hills.
And there he was.
When he was supposed to be with you.
Well, he took a break for lunch.
He took a break for lunch? What, you don't believe me? No, l don't.
Kenny wasn't with you today, and you know it.
All right, okay, l'll tell you the truth.
He didn't show.
l had to do the whole thing by myself today.
Why didn't you call me, Valerie? You know l would've come.
l was too embarrassed.
Kelly, l got stood up.
Do you believe me now? Get some rest.
We'll talk about it later.
Hey.
ls that for Valerie? Yeah, a little something to cheer up the patient.
She said she wasn't hungry, but l'm gonna feed her anyway.
Steve, something is really wrong.
What? When l offered to go with her, she told me Kenny was taking her.
Then l saw Kenny out having lunch today.
-So? -So, she told me he was taking a lunch break in the middle of her abortion.
Does that make sense to you? Well, maybe he was hungry or he had an appointment.
When l confronted her, she admitted that she lied and then she told me another story.
Kel, the girl just had an abortion.
Why don't you cut her some slack? Fine.
Here you go.
Thanks.
We should come back here.
Yeah, l'd like that.
Did you know that bald eagles mate for life? Really? When they make love, in midair they latch onto each other and then they plummet towards the ground.
That's terrifying.
Not for them.
cliff, l really like spending time with you.
Donna l'm leaving tomorrow.
What? l'm leaving the department.
l'll be working safety crew on an oil rig offshore in Louisiana.
You didn't tell me that.
How long are you going for? l'm not sure.
l'm sorry.
l know l should have told you.
lt's just that l thought if you knew l was leaving, you wouldn't want to get to know me.
Was l right? l don't know.
Are you mad? l guess l'm just disappointed.
'cause l like you.
l like you, too.
That's a good thing, isn't it? Yeah.
So, so what do we do now? Well, since it's a good thing, let's make the best of it.
-Hi.
-Hey.
l thought you might be in here.
Yeah, uh, listen, l'm glad you, uh, l'm glad you stopped by.
l was hoping you would.
But l thought you left right after the show.
l did.
l came back to see you.
Listen, Trace, about before-- Brandon, don't apologize.
lt's just gonna make me feel worse.
And l don't think l could feel any worse.
You don't have anything to feel bad about.
l can't help it.
l feel embarrassed just talking to you.
So, um, this is gonna be my last week here.
What? l just feel really uncomfortable working with you.
l guess l can't handle rejection very well.
Well, l wish there was, uh, something l could say to make you change your mind.
l don't think there's anything either of us can do about it now.
Did you, uh, tell Mark about this yet? l'll tell him after tomorrow's broadcast.
oh, perfect.
How about some coffee next time, hon? Just keep them coming.
l've been to three bars looking for you.
Wow.
Three bars in one night? You're a wild man.
You want a drink? No.
Why not? l can afford it.
David, l'd like you to let me drive you back to the house.
Yeah, you'd also like to take that money.
l don't want to take anything from you, David.
Why don't you just take away my TV time? What, are you gonna ground me, Dad? l don't know, what's the proper punishment for bailing out on your Grandfather's last day? l don't want to punish you, David.
And l hate to see you punishing yourself.
David! l don't give a damn about the money.
No? No, well what do you give a damn about? Tell me, please, because l'm trying to do the best l can here.
Just what do you want from me? l want respect! Respect?! David, you better take a long, hard look at yourself.
No, Dad, you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
Look at you, taking your own kid to court.
Going against your own father's last will and testament?! You don't have respect for anybody.
Your Grandfather would've wanted me to protect you.
No, he told us what he wanted! And l don't need your protection.
l lost my father this week, okay? Now don't make me leave here worrying about losing you, too.
Please, David.
Let me drive you home.
l think l'll take a cab.
Don't you let him get behind the wheel.
Here before Dick, huh? Yeah, impressed? No.
Ah, come on, Arnold, throw me a bone.
Tell me you miss me, why don't you? How can l miss you when you've been following me for weeks? Has it been that bad? No, l just want you to accept the way things are.
This is the way things are now, huh? You're happy with Dick? Yep, that's right.
You don't love me anymore? No.
l don't think l do.
So, l'm wasting my time? Yeah, you are.
l love you, clare.
l'm not giving up.
l've changed.
l just wish you'd give me a chance to prove it.
Well, you do what you have to do.
Hey, should you be up? You look worse than l do.
Yeah, that crew's killing me.
So, are you going to go watch Brandon's broadcast debut? Yeah, are you gonna tune in? Yeah, from under my covers.
How long did the doctor say to stay off your feet? Just a day or two.
ls that one or two? Until l feel better.
Did he give you anything? Did he give you a prescription? Yeah, some antibiotics and some kind of Valium.
That sort of thing.
Are you taking them? Actually, as a matter of fact, l was so doped up after the procedure l forgot they were in my purse.
But you got them filled though, right? -Yeah, sure.
-cool.
When? Steve, why are you asking so many questions? You sound like Kelly.
Sorry, l didn't mean to push.
Hey, good morning, Grandma.
l'm sorry l got in so late last night.
l was asleep.
l didn't even hear you come in.
can l get you breakfast or something? No, thanks, l'm okay.
ls Dad around? He had a meeting.
Don't tell me.
With the lawyer? Why is he doing this to me? Because he loves you.
l know he loves me, l just l wish he'd trust me not to ruin everything l put my hands on.
l mean, Grandpa did.
oh, do you know your grandfather never let your father drive that car? Not on a date, not on a prom, not for graduation, and no pleading on your father's part could convince him.
Well, why? l mean, that doesn't sound like Grandpa.
Well, David, sometimes the things you want to give the most are the hardest to part with.
What do you want from your father? He asked me the same thing.
Respect.
That's funny.
You two are so alike.
That's what he wants from you.
Well, l guess it's hard for me to give it to him.
oh, l know.
And, David? Hmm? Don't drink so much.
We're live in the studio in 60 seconds.
Make-up, Brandon? oh, no thanks.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Good to see you all.
Lovely to be here.
ln 30 seconds! l don't believe this.
Am l seeing things? Ted Koppel, eat your heart out.
You think he's the first anchor to ever do this? Why do you think they sit at desks? What are you doing? l've de-pantsed myself in honor of our first and last newscast together.
And you think l can get through this segment with you sitting next to me like this? Absolutely.
l didn't want you to be the only embarrassed anchorperson up here.
-Brandon.
-That's right, l'm Brandon Walsh, and l'm not wearing any pants.
ln five, four, three, two Hi, l'm Brandon Walsh, joining Tracy Gaylian for a special production of the cUTV News team.
Tonight, we present the results l'm glad to see you're here, Kelly.
oh, so you're not mad at me about Valerie? No, in fact, l think l owe you an apology.
Really? Why? come outside.
l'll be right back.
What's up? Well, l just spoke to Valerie.
Some of the things that she said just don't add up.
Like what? Well, she said after her procedure, she was so doped up she couldn't even remember there were prescriptions in her purse.
Well, that sounds normal.
l mean, she was probably just out of it.
Yeah, she would be.
But then she drove home.
Would they let her do that? l don't know.
l'm beginning to wonder if she even went through with this abortion.
l'm beginning to wonder if Valerie was ever even pregnant.
Help.
Somebody save me.
Hi.
oh! A little memento.
l can't forget the first time l saw you, you were holding a baby fawn in your arms.
Aw, this is so cute.
Thank you.
Well, it was a toss-up between this and an eagle.
-Just read the card.
-okay.
''Dear Donna, this is my address.
Will you write to me?'' of course l will.
l don't know exactly when this job will end and l can't ask you to wait for me, but who knows, l could be back in a few weeks.
l hope so.
Well, um, l better go.
You have to leave now? Yeah, l actually do.
Good-bye, cliff.
Good-bye, Donna.
lf politics make strange bedfellows, then we certainly know where America is hashing it out.
Hey, Mark, how much longer? Uh, we're almost out.
These guys are great.
Yeah, they're quick, informed, passionate, and they look good together.
Don't they, Kel? Yeah, perfect.
lf only you could screen dates the way presidential candidates screen running mates.
That process is hardly foolproof either, Tracy.
Take a look at some of the vice-presidents we've had to endure, Dan Quayle et al.
-Good point.
-Thank you.
lt makes me feel a little better about the guys l've gone out with.
Well, we hope we've helped to define some of your views.
Whether you see things through a liberal or conservative filter, think them through.
And then, take action.
Make yourself heard and stand behind your beliefs.
And join us next week for cUTV.
l'm Tracy Gaylian.
And l'm Brandon Walsh.
And we're out.
Next week? Next week? l thought you were quitting.
l changed my mind.
Why? We vacillators can do that.
Besides, how could l resist working with someone with shorts like those? Grandpa never let me drive this car, you know that? Yeah, Grandma told me.
l begged, l pleaded.
l threatened to steal it.
He never budged.
lt's a great car.
David, l've called off the legal proceedings.
You changed your mind? l still think my father made a mistake giving you the money without any restrictions or guidelines.
But that's how he loved you, flat-out, unconditionally, no questions asked.
So, the money is yours.
Thanks.
l guess.
Dad? Yeah? What do you say we go for a spin? You drive.
