Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s07e09 Episode Script

oh, look, it's Mr.
Rabbit.
He's come to play with you.
Hiya, Frankie.
How are you today? Terrified of rabbits, Dad.
Thanks for asking.
come here, baby.
Hi! Hi! Nat, he's wet.
No wonder he's hysterical.
come on, let's go change you.
No, please.
Let me.
l'll get the diaper bag.
Here's the rabbit.
oh, how's Frankie? Kid gets three squares of breast milk a day, has women powdering his butt on a regular basis.
What does he have to cry about? Mm, well, maybe it's the company he's keeping.
Valerie should come with a warning label.
Broken record, Kel.
l just don't know how someone so smart could be so blind.
okay, l'll bite.
What are you talking about? Nothing.
Nothing? No, see you brought this up.
So, you have to give.
You really don't know, do you? What are you talking about, Kel? Valerie claims to have been pregnant and had an abortion.
When? Last week.
She cried all over my shoulder.
Steve's, too.
Here's the happy baby.
High and dry.
-oh.
ooh -Yeah.
come here, my little darling.
Whoa, your little hat went off.
Hey, you've got a way with kids, Val.
Yeah, like custer had a way with the lndians.
l don't get it, why wouldn't she tell me about this? For some reason, she has trouble lying to you.
A problem she doesn't have with the rest of us.
l can't believe it.
David inherited $250,000 from his grandfather? That's right.
Thanks.
Wow! Your dad must have loved him very much.
David was his only grandson.
They were very fond of each other.
You know, David hasn't said a word about this to anyone.
That's probably just as well.
l'm really worried about what this money might do to him.
Unfortunately, his grandfather had a lot more confidence in him than l do.
Well, he has been going through a lot of changes lately.
Donna, you don't have to protect him.
We all know what his behavior has been like lately.
And you're afraid the money is going to make it worse.
David wants his freedom.
Now, thanks to his grandfather, he can afford it.
l'll get it.
All right.
Hello? Hey, beautiful.
Hi.
Um, l'll be right back.
Did you just hang up? Just a little phone code.
one ring means that l am crazy about you.
l see, and what does two rings mean? Means that l wish l was with you.
l don't, uh, think l'm ready to know what three rings means.
Good.
'cause l'm not sure l'm ready to tell you.
Um, look, l, um, l have to go.
So, l'll just see you at campus, okay? All right, go.
All right, bye.
Sorry.
So, uh, what do you want us to do, keep an eye on him? l would really appreciate it, Donna.
l'm just concerned that he might be getting in over his head.
Well, l would talk to him, but l don't l don't think he's gonna listen to me.
l'll look out for him, Mel.
Thanks, Donna.
okay, l'm gonna get back to the office.
See ya.
Bye.
Hey, there, big fella, you got a tapeworm or what? Rowing burns a thousand calories an hour.
l'm sure it does.
You know, it's amazing that you can keep on any weight at all, what with all this rowing and the secrets you keep.
Secrets? l don't know how you do it, man.
The anxiety.
The not sleeping at night.
Th-The sweats You're amazing, man.
Hmm, um You know what? l did take $20 from the cookie jar once, but l put it back two days later.
l'm not talking about the cookie jar, Steve.
l'm talking about Valerie.
Why didn't you tell me? Look, l wasn't trying to hide anything from you.
l found out by accident.
l didn't want to make things worse.
So you told ''Darth Taylor''? l just figured she should talk to a woman.
Right church, wrong pew, my friend.
Kelly thinks Valerie is lying about the whole thing, including the abortion.
Yeah, well, here's what l know.
Valerie said Kenny took her to the clinic.
Kelly says he didn't.
Valerie told me they gave her Diazepam.
But then she told me that she drove home.
How's that? -And that's your whole case? -Yeah.
Next, you're going to be telling me colonel Mustard did it in the observatory with a lead pipe.
l'm going to the marina.
Steve, what do you think? l don't know what to think.
Things just don't add up.
So, you think she's lying, too? Yeah it's Valerie.
-See you later.
-Yeah.
Hi, Val.
Kelly.
How are you? obviously not as good as you.
Mm, l can't help it.
Telling the truth feels so good.
Well, hip hip hooray.
Mm, l mean, when l told Brandon about what happened between you and Kenny, l felt like just a huge weight had been lifted right off my shoulders.
Hi, what can l get you? Espresso, decaffeinated.
coffee, black.
Exactly which part about what happened between me and Kenny did you tell? Mm, let's see.
Pregnancy, abortion.
The basics.
God, l hate you.
But when l got to the part about how l didn't believe any of it, mm, talk about the truth setting you free.
lf you knew what l went through Save the sob story for Brandon.
You're going to need it.
He'll believe me.
Well, he always has.
But sooner or later, he won't.
My money's on sooner.
Together or separate? Together.
My treat.
Power stroke! one two three So, what do you think? They look pretty good.
They look better.
come on, admit it.
What they've done is pretty impressive.
clare, guy weighs He loses a hundred pounds, everybody says they're impressed.
l say he shouldn't have weighed 300 in the first place.
Good times, guys.
Well, if it isn't the scourge of the seven seas.
Why don't you go sit on an oar? You guys are looking good.
So are you.
You too, captain SPF.
You know, that sunblock on your nose is so becoming, l think your ears are getting jealous.
oh, abbreviations 101 , isn't that a step up for you, Sanders? Here we go, guys.
Hands on.
over the head.
Ready, up! -Here we go! -You know, Sanders, l'm glad you guys are halfway decent.
That way, maybe you can stay afloat long enough to see us kick your sorry butts.
oh, yeah, we'll see you cross the finish line, from the winner's circle.
-Yeah.
-All right, -Take it, guys.
-now that we've had a chance to measure our manhood, let's go in the water.
No, no, no, let me give you a little advice, Sanders.
Quit now and save yourself a lot of embarrassment.
The only thing l'm embarrassed about is how little we have riding on this race.
Uh, don't go there, -either of you.
-No, no, if he wants to dig his grave a little deeper, who are we to stop him? Let's up the ante.
-l wouldn't.
-l would.
Fine.
l'll be in the shell.
Great girl.
But you already know that.
Loser serves the winner's frat dinner for a week.
Plus dates.
Fine, you'll be doing it.
oh, tell me what clare's favorite meal is.
l just want to make sure you get a chance to serve it.
oh, that's easy.
That would be pile of Steve, masquerading around a lovely almond massage oil, rolphed, not rubbed.
Whatever.
So, it's a bet? oh, it's a pleasure.
Right.
Hey, l can't decide what to lead with.
The alumni endowment drive or Are you listening to me? By the way, there's a naked woman in your office.
Shall l tell her to wait? Say you're pregnant.
l'm pregnant.
That's not funny.
Say your pregnant.
Do you tell your best friend? Absolutely.
And what if you get an abortion? l wouldn't get an abortion.
But if l did, l would definitely tell because l'd want a shoulder to cry on.
And what if the shoulder was mine? Well, you're not an easy person to confess to.
okay, say you made the whole thing up just to get back at some guy who hurt you? No, then l wouldn't tell anyone.
That's what l was afraid of.
Any chance of film at 1 1 , so l can figure out what you're talking about? l wish l knew myself.
Why don't you just ask the mystery girl straight out? No, l can't do that; l need more information first.
Then ask the guy.
That's a good idea.
Thanks, Tracy, you da man.
oh, uh, don't lead with the endowment drive.
Money stories in block three.
Thank you, fearless leader.
-David, hi.
-Hey.
Hey, how's it going? Did you know that as early as predicted that America and Russia would be two superpowers? Mm no, can't say l did.
This guy is a French political scientist that we're studying.
Now, he knew the future of the world would be shaped by two totally backward, undeveloped countries.
cool.
Well, it sounds like a good class.
lt's incredible; l love it.
okay, whoa, what'd you do with him? The real David Silver? The guy l'm looking for-- downbeat Moody? Yeah, glass half-empty kind of guy? Mm-hmm.
Uh, he-he changed.
You're really happy, aren't you? Yeah.
Yeah, l am.
of course, l owe a lot of that to you, l mean, l wouldn't have even come back to school if it wasn't for you.
You know, l'm done for the day, and l've got to go pick up some stuff for the house.
You want to come with me? Yeah, sure.
Great.
That was easy.
-Right this way.
-Thanks.
Hi, Kenny.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
No problem.
Uh, can l get you something to drink? No, thanks, l'm fine.
Just hold my calls.
-So, how you doing? -Good, good, thanks.
How's the family? The family's good, everyone's good.
Except for Valerie.
Yeah.
Well l'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah, l thought you would be.
Look, Brandon, l feel terrible about what happened.
Things just got a little, um out of control.
Kenny, would you mind telling me exactly what did happen? Bottom line, uh, l fell in love with the wrong girl.
But you did love her? l would have done anything for her.
Pardon me for noticing, but you're still married, and she went through this whole thing alone.
Well, she didn't have to go through it alone, Brandon.
You didn't dump her? Brandon l cared about her.
l wanted to help her.
And after she told me she was pregnant, the only thing that she wanted from me was my money.
-She asked you for money? -Well, Valerie doesn't ask, she demands, you know-- it's more like ransom.
''Give me money, or l will have this baby.
'' ''Give me money, or l will tell your wife.
'' How much? Hundred grand.
That's a lot of money.
And when l hesitated about paying her she paid a visit to my wife with a little present.
A box of diapers.
Talk about your fatal attraction.
So obviously, you, uh, gave her the money, right? Yeah.
lt was worth it to get her out of my life.
Kenny, do you do you know for a fact that she actually was pregnant? No.
Um, you know what, to be honest with you, though, l don't care-- as long as it's over.
Are we through here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Thanks for your time and your honesty, man.
l really appreciate it.
-Take care, Brandon.
-okay, thanks.
You, too.
David, what do you need a new watch for? You've already got three.
Yeah, but this one's got a chronometer on it.
Did you see that? Hey, how about this? You can't you can't forget about this, huh? oh.
oh, right, your $200 pen.
A bargain.
Designed by NASA.
You can write upside down with this thing.
oh, that makes all the difference.
okay, fine, how about the, uh, electric toilet seat warmer.
oh, yeah! For those cold Southern california nights.
David, is all this stuff really necessary? Donna, that's the point.
l don't get it.
l inherited $250,000! l can do anything l want to.
l-l can buy all the stupid stuff l want.
l can buy you all the stupid stuff you want.
What do you want? David, would you calm down? You're embarrassing me! No, l'm not, Donna-- they love people like me.
l'm an impulse shopper.
You know what? can we please just get out of here? okay? -okay, fine.
-Good.
Thanks.
You know, l've never been to Australia.
How about Egypt? Egypt-- if we left right now l bet you we could be at the pyramids by breakfast.
What do you say? l'd say that you lost your mind! Uh, you know, l really hope l never find it, 'cause l've never felt this good in my life.
Excuse me what does it take to get some service around here? Donna, l think they have potato clocks! We should've had this stuff delivered.
We're never gonna get it all in the cars.
Yeah? Well, you shouldn't have bought so much stuff.
You know, we could take two trips, but then again, we'd miss our flight to cairo.
Would you stop that already? Hey, you just say the word.
Ah, the word is ''binge.
'' okay.
-There.
-oh, perfect.
Thank you.
Sure.
A twenty? What? What? The guy worked hard.
Don't you think you're just a little over the top there? lt's cool, isn't it? David! What are you doing? What? What, l'm not allowed to kiss somebody l like? No.
Not like that, not here.
You know, l'm beginning to think Mel was right.
Wait, what does my father have to do with this? He was just he-he's a little worried about you.
And? And he didn't think you'd listen to him, and he was concerned, so he asked me to keep an eye on you.
That's great.
My father's got you spying for him.
No, l l didn't say that.
What, is he afraid l'm gonna do something stupid? -David -Something crazy? What, something deranged? oh, come on! Wha Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Wh-What's this? Uh, -it was there already.
-No, no, no.
l haven't seen this before.
Have you? l can't be positive, but l don't think so.
Sir, cars are checked before they're parked-- the scratch was there.
Excuse me, the lady said it wasn't.
-Well, she's wrong.
-This is her car.
She drives this car every day.
You're trying to tell me she hasn't seen a scratch the size of Texas? No, no, no, no, no, you did this-- you have to pay for it.
David, please, l said l wasn't sure.
Donna, either you know or you don't.
Then l guess l don't.
lt's just like a spy to take the other side.
l'm on your side.
Keep acting this way, and l'll be the only one who is.
So, l'll see you after class.
Yeah, l'll be in the condor's Nest.
oh, we'll talk race strategy.
oh, yay.
oh.
You should be home shining up your tray.
l got two things to say to you: serve from the left; clear from the right.
ln your dreams.
l think your boy's getting nervous.
Mm.
Well, if this is about the race, l don't want to talk about it, okay? You nervous, too? No.
Try bored.
The race, the bet, the whole thing.
l don't know what it's gonna take to convince you guys it doesn't impress me.
You have convinced me.
l have? completely.
Well, then what's with all the preening? Well, at first this race was about you.
Now it's about setting out to do something and doing it well.
Mm.
Sounds like you're a regular Horatio Alger.
Are you calling me a communist? That's Alger Hiss, Steve.
-Who? -Don't worry.
Don't strain your brain.
Look, clare, l set out to try and impress you, l admit it.
But l ended up impressing myself.
Hmm.
And this Horatio guy is a Shakespeare character.
Hamlet.
l read the cliff Notes in ninth grade.
l'm not a complete imbecile.
Hey, Val, is that you? Waiting up for me? A little early for curfew.
Just wanted to talk to you, that's all.
Yeah.
l thought you might.
So, how do you want to do this? Well, you could believe me.
You didn't come to me, did you? l know l didn't, Brandon.
l was embarrassed.
Embarrassed? Well, if you're telling the truth Well, of course it was the truth.
Then there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Really.
l got pregnant by a married man who doesn't want anything to do with me.
That's pretty embarrassing, don't you think? Look, Val, l'd like to help you, but, uh you got to tell me everything.
lf you know about the pregnancy and the abortion, you do know everything.
What? l went to see Kenny Bannerman today.
He told me about a certain hundred thousand dollars that, uh, l think you're pretty intimate with.
He did? Yeah, he did.
l thought you were gonna tell me everything.
okay, so l didn't, okay? Sue me.
This isn't about you, Brandon.
You're right, Val, this isn't about me.
This is about you and whether or not l can trust you.
How could you do it? He hurt me.
When l needed him the most, he wasn't there.
Kelly said she thinks, uh, you weren't even pregnant.
Who cares what Kelly thinks? lt's over.
You're right, Val, it is over except for the money.
You got to give it back.
You're crazy.
l'm crazy? l'm crazy? Have you ever heard the word ''extortion''? Huh? How about ''fraud''? How about ''blackmail''? You got to give the money back.
ls that a threat? only if you make it one.
Brandon, this is ridiculous.
You're right, this is ridiculous.
Let me tell you how this is gonna happen.
You're either gonna give that money back, or you're gonna find a new place to live! Do you understand? This is really good.
What-what is it? lt's an authentic North African couscous.
Hmm.
Where'd you learn to cook? casablanca.
You're kidding me.
Really.
lt wasn't enough for my grandfather to own half the TV stations in california.
He had a calling to broadcast TJ Hooker to the Third World.
Hmm.
When were you there? High school.
Mm, that must have been amazing.
Not really.
lt's kind hard to kiss a girl through a veil.
l never know when you're kidding.
Well, at least l talk about myself.
What do you want to know? l don't know, Kelly.
You know, there's this this part of you that you keep closed up.
-lt's better that way.
-ls it? What could be so bad that l wouldn't understand? l want to be close to you.
l know.
lt's just hard talking about it.
What? All right, l'll tell you.
But if after l tell you, you just want to call it a day, that's fine.
All right, all right.
Tell me you're an axe murderer.
No.
No.
l used to have a drug problem.
cocaine.
l got in way over my head last year.
ls that all? And l was in a really bad relationship.
one that had a lot to do with my addiction.
l feel so much better now.
None of this bothers you? Well l've had a few nighttime cravings that l wouldn't want anybody to know about either.
You have? Found myself in the freezer, ice cream section, with a big spoon.
chocolate? Rocky road.
How do you expect me to react to that? With a great deal of compassion.
Hi, Valerie.
ls Brandon home? Um, no, but you can come in and wait if you want.
Thanks.
-Nice place.
-You like it? l hear there's a room available.
You're, uh, moving out? Yeah.
How come? creative differences.
Valerie, um, l know this isn't any of my business, and if you want to tell me to shut up, l'll totally understand.
But l kind of know a little of what's going on with you.
Brandon told you? l just put two and two together.
Brandon's got a big mouth.
Actually, Brandon's probably one of the most discreet people l know.
Well, l'm glad you think so.
Look, l got a lot to do, you know? l haven't known him as long as you have, but l know him well enough to know that he'd understand if you'd just tell him the truth.
l did tell him the truth.
And now he wants me to be a little more virtuous than l can afford.
Well, maybe your virtue is worth a lot more than you think.
Well, that's my decision, not Brandon's.
Listen, l-l didn't mean to interfere.
l just wanted to drop off these tapes.
The hell are you doing here? lt'll only take a minute.
My wife's upstairs, so clock's ticking.
Look, l know you talked to Brandon.
And l'll tell you what l told him: That hundred grand was worth getting you out of my life.
Here.
-What is this? -lt's the money.
l shouldn't have taken it in the first place.
-l don't want this.
-Just take it, okay? l promise, l'll stay out of your life forever.
What's gotten into you? Suddenly got religion? lt's a cheap price to pay for peace of mind.
That's funny, that's what l was thinking.
Dad, you promised we'd play.
l'll be inside in a minute, sweetheart, okay? Who are you? l'm, uh, l'm an acquaintance of your dad's.
What's an acquaintance? Someone you don't know very well.
Are we through here? completely.
come on, big guy, let's go.
come on, come on, come on.
Donna.
Donna.
Hey.
Hey.
l know l'm gonna regret asking this, but what are you doing out here in your underwear? oh.
l just went for a swim.
What?! Are you nuts? ln November? lt's, like, 50 degrees in that water.
Yeah.
Uh, look, l-l forgot to bring a towel.
l should let you freeze.
oh, by the way, l talked to my mechanic, and, uh, he said he could have the dent repaired in your car in a day.
Thanks, but l'll take care of it myself.
oh, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
l already got a loaner.
You'll love it.
lt's a Porsche cabriolet.
You know, David, l know this is not what you want to hear right now, but l'm really worried about you.
l think you need help.
ls this my father talking? No.
You're scaring me.
Why? What's so scary? l don't know.
People who go swimming in the middle of winter, go swimming in the middle of the night by themselves.
Hey, have you heard about that new club on Sunset? Lines all the way around the corner, but l heard Ben Franklin's got some pull, so we should be okay.
Please, please, don't go anywhere.
Uh, thanks for the towel.
You sure you don't want to come? Stay the night.
You can sleep on the couch.
l can't.
l got to go.
l'll see you later.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Just a little mental preparation.
Psych myself up.
What about you? oh, l just went for a walk.
Been coming down here a lot lately at night.
You know, it's interesting, clare, these shells are only a sixteenth of an inch thick, made out of Kevlar.
Same stuff as bulletproof vests.
Hmm.
You've done your homework.
Kind of wish my heart was wrapped in Kevlar.
Well, you wouldn't need a bulletproof vest around your heart if you used your head once in a while.
l knew you were gonna say that.
Good night, clare.
Steve, wait.
What? l'm really impressed with what you've done.
l just wish you'd done it sooner.
You know, l've decided to stop hurting and start healing, clare.
So l've turned a corner on this.
l feel pretty good about myself, too.
Good-bye.
Still here, huh? Don't rub it in.
l thought l was pretty specific, Val.
l got the message, Brandon.
So what'd you do about it? l did what you told me.
l gave the money back.
Good.
For who? Not for me.
My club's on the verge of bankruptcy.
Better your club than your soul.
You know what, Brandon? l'm sick and tired of you preaching to me.
okay.
So are you staying? Why? ls there some other test l have to pass? Want me to sign a loyalty oath or random drug testing? Loyalty oath might be nice.
When have l not been loyal to you? okay.
l want you to answer me one question.
Were you really pregnant? No.
l lied about the baby and the abortion.
Don't hate me Brandon, okay? l don't hate you, Valerie, but sometimes you make it very difficult for me to like you.
He led me on.
He told me he was getting a divorce.
l fell in love with him.
l thought he could save me.
No one can save you like that; you know better.
l wanted to believe in him.
He reminded me of my father.
And when he deserted me, l just, l couldn't take it.
So then you decided to take him.
Yeah, l guess so.
You know, l-l'm sorry.
l'm sorry that l can't live up to your values.
l-l thought l could, but l can't.
l'm not like you, Brandon.
Val, it's okay.
You did the right thing.
You made amends.
Well, it didn't make me feel that good.
Just want to let you know that.
You know, Val you got to straighten yourself out or you're gonna get yourself in trouble so deep that no one's gonna be able to get you out.
You hear what l'm saying? Yeah, l hear you.
Good.
'cause this advice cost you a lot.
Don't remind me.
BGB row! BGB row! -Yeah! -Hey! Whoo! Hey, good luck.
You losers are gonna need it.
Thanks a lot.
All you guys, good luck.
What's that supposed to mean? l don't know, Dick.
l think it means good luck.
And on another note, l hope you and clare can make each other happy.
And what's that supposed to mean? Boy, talking to you is a real waste of time.
l didn't think l was gonna be so nervous.
Well, you want some words of wisdom? Yeah.
Don't make such a big deal about it.
lt's just a race.
Tell your friend over there that l'm not deep enough for subtext.
Listen, clare, we're ready.
Let's go.
okay.
Bye.
Good shape, you guys.
Donna, calling Mel was the right thing to do.
l don't know.
l feel like maybe l am a spy.
Well, he needs to know just how weird David's been acting.
What exactly did he say? Well, what could he say? He's scared, just like me.
So you don't think it's just the money? Well, l thought that at first.
But David's been acting so extreme, like he's manic.
Who isn't sometimes? l know.
But then l think about his mother.
She's manic-depressive.
And that can be inherited.
Well, maybe David should see a doctor.
Yeah, l think he should.
But what if he won't go? Attention, coxswain, bring your shells to the line.
Kegger boat, ready? BGB boat, ready? Pull harder through the water, guys! Stay together! Power stroke! one Drive those legs down! Eight nine ten! one, two, three! Five, six! six, seven, eight.
Who do we root for? Well, what are the odds of a tie? About as good as a chance as KEG has of winning this race.
Pull! Pull! Pull through the water! We got 'em! Strike water! Pull! three! Legs down! Five! nine, ten.
one, two, three! come on! You know, l still can't believe Steve got so into this.
Yeah, he is really holding his own.
Wow, they're practically even.
All right, let's pull! one, two! oars in the water! Deep pull! Last 20! Two seven, eight, nine, ten! one l'm impressed.
Steve can really row, look.

four, five, six, seven Push it! Push it! That's it! Push ahead! Yeah! Whoo! Whoo! Dang! That was so great! oh, Steve.
clare! That was so intense.
Uh! You did great.
No, you did all the work.
You were amazing.
Thanks.
Don't worry about it, guys.
We gave it our best shot.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
congratulations.
lt was so close.
And yet so far.
So, what time's dinner? Guys, you're not seriously gonna do this, are you? Yeah, a bet's a bet.

You'd better go.

Bye.
All right, yeah! The clarester! Hey, what can we say? You led us to victory.
Well, all l did was yell.
oh, no, no, you pushed us to our painful best, and in fine crew tradition, we want to honor your contribution with a little ceremonial revenge.
Guys? What're you talking about? No! No! No guys! one, two Here we go! three! Hi.
Hi.
What's up? Nothing.
l just came by to say thank you for your help.
l asked for your advice, and l got your help.
What're you talking about? Val said you talked to her.
oh, yeah.
Was l out of line? No, no, no, everything worked out for the best.
l'm glad.
Valerie's lucky to have such a good friend.
Yeah, so am l.
You want to get something to eat? Yeah, sure.
Just let me get my keys.
okay.
Don't forget those D-cells.
Shut up.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Hey.
Was that you who called? Three rings.
l guess you're ready to tell me what that means now.
lt means that l'm falling in love with you.
Mark or that l've fallen and l can't get up.
Sometimes l get them confused, you know? See you tomorrow? Yes, you will.
Good.
Hi.
Hi.
l didn't see you at the dinner.
Well, l begged Dick not to go through with it.
Was it really awful? lt was the only seven-course meal in fraternity history.
You must be tired, huh? A little.
You want to come in? Yeah.
What are you doing? Just doing a little reading.
You have changed.
What book? You're gonna laugh.
No, l won't.
lt's by Horatio Alger.
lt's a rags-to-riches story: hard work and sincerity triumph over adversity.
You enjoying it? lmmensely.
Hmm.
Everything but the title, anyway.
Ragged DjCk, Kind of funny, huh? You know, l don't think l ever want to hear that name again.
What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying Yeah, l'm saying.
l love you so much, clare.
l really missed you.
l love you, too.
Shut up and bite me.
Hey.
Didn't your mom ever tell you the one about all work and no play? Yeah, but she left out the part about going broke.
Ah.
So l guess it'd be in bad taste to invite you to this hot new club? Sorry.
You know without money, l'm not gonna be able to get this club back on its feet.
And with it? That doesn't matter, l mean, 'cause l don't have it.
l did.
But l don't have it anymore.
What happened? You were robbed? No.
l had an attack of ethics.
Happens to the worst of us.
Hmm.
You know, l always wondered what it'd be like owning this place.
David, like a bleeding ulcer.
Would cash make the bleeding stop? David, why did you come here? Well, originally to find a dance partner for the evening.
But it seems like there might be more of a long-term arrangement.
Like what? l think l might have a solution to your problem.
What, are you serious? You mean like a loan or something? No.
More like buying half interest in the club.
You have that kind of money? And more.
So, what do you say? l say we have a deal.
