Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s08e01 Episode Script
Aloha, Beverly Hills (1)
Someone once said that the two scariest days in a young person's life are his first day of school and his last.
This was graduation, our last day of school.
And as happy as we were, we were also scared as hell.
After being together through eight long years of high school and college, we were all about to take a giant step into the great unknown called "life.
" Our goal after all these years was to try to stick together, but we all knew that wasn't going to be easy.
After losing her virginity with David, Donna confessed to her priest, but still hadn't told her mother which made David furious.
Making love, for Donna, was not exactly guilt-free.
Valerie was swindled out of every penny she had, and thought a change of hairstyle would change her luck.
It didn't.
After five different jobs in less than two months, Valerie discovered that was not her long suit.
With Clare gone to join her father in Paris, Steve had a hard time saying good-bye to college life, and got a job as the alumni advisor to his former CU fraternity KEG.
The salary for this honor? A dollar a year.
Now summer is over and Kelly and I are settling in to the realities of living together.
There is, we have both discovered, a little difference between loving someone and actually living with them.
Luckily for us, we're both so in touch with each other's feelings.
What? Nothing.
It's, uh it's lacey.
Well, you said I could make some changes in here.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
Then could you help me move the bureau to that wall over there? Why? I like it right there.
I better get that.
It might be the phone.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Mr.
Paulson.
How you doing? Yeah, Mr.
Paulson, look, I know I, I know.
I don't have all the experience necessary, but I'll work nights, I'll work weekends.
I'll do whatever it takes, man.
You want me to write obituaries? No one can write obits like I can.
Yeah, all right.
Well, if you'd keep my resume on file, I'd appreciate it.
Okay, thanks for calling.
The Times? Yep.
I'm sorry.
You know, it's just frustrating.
I don't have the experience necessary, but no one will give me a job to get the experience I need.
It's not like you haven't had other offers.
Yeah, I know.
But do you want to move to Bismarck or Elkhart or maybe Appleton, Wisconsin? No.
Me neither.
Brandon, what's this? Some old cards and stuff.
All from Tracy Gaylian? She liked to send a lot of cards.
Hmm, well, I guess her other favorite hobby was having her picture taken with you.
I didn't know you guys went to Vegas.
You know, Kel, if memory serves, I broke up with Tracy for you.
What's the problem here? No problem.
You know, Kelly, I did have a life before you just like you had a life before me.
Yeah, well, at least I had the decency to pack my old life in a box before I moved in.
Hey, Brandon.
Oh, wow, look what you've done with the place, Kel.
It's kind of like an early Betty Crocker kind of thing, huh? It's nice.
Well, Brandon, that's all you needed was a woman's touch, huh? What am I supposed to do? The lease extension is up on my house.
I have to move.
We've been over this a dozen times.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm such a bonehead.
I don't understand why you're making such a big deal about this.
Milk? Thanks.
Juice? Why are you being so difficult? I want you to move in here with me.
In separate rooms like we're roommates.
That's not really living together, Donna.
Where's the sweetener? It is to me.
We're gonna be together all the time.
But in separate rooms.
It's over there on the microwave.
You lived here before in your own room.
And that was okay with your mother.
Yes.
- But this isn't.
- David, I don't want to deal with her right now about us.
She's not gonna understand, and honestly, I don't want to upset her.
Why are you being so stubborn about this? Why are you? Donna, you're an adult.
You can make your own decisions.
You don't need your parents' permission.
I'm sorry, but either we're living together or we're not.
Which is it? Don't make me say not, please.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Boy, look at you.
Dressed for success, huh? So, what's up with this new job of yours? I told you.
It's customer relations specialist for Arturo Panini fragrances.
And just what is that? Well, I'm not exactly sure.
I mean, they haven't given me all the details yet, but Panini is a very upscale, prestigious line.
It sounds perfect for me.
It seems like I heard those same words about your last five summer jobs.
Yeah, well, coming from somebody who's only job has been sitting on his butt for the last two months reading the want ads, I don't know.
Listen, by the way, um, don't tell Brandon I told you this, but he didn't get the job at the Times.
He didn't? Oh! He wanted that.
I know, but don't say anything, okay? Shh.
- Morning.
- Yeah.
What? Um, sorry, it's gotta be a bummer, Bran, huh? I'm sorry.
Small house, thin walls.
I guess the only bright side is it's not every day that you get personally rejected by the senior editor of the Los Angeles Times.
That's what I love about you, Brandon, you always look on the bright side.
You're forgiving, you're understanding, you're quick to know when I'm being set up for something? Au contraire, mon frere.
What's this? That's my rent.
I know I've been behind the last couple months, so Steve, it's okay.
You pay me back when you get the money.
Uh, that may be a while.
You know ever since my dad cut me off, I've been kinda tapped.
I may actually have to crack open my savings account.
Savings account? It's only for emergencies.
Not that rent isn't an emergency.
Well, how much? Not enough to make you pant like that.
Sorry.
Would you mind getting rid of those? Oh, it's Martha Stewart coming down from homemaker heaven.
Don't you have a job to get fired from Val? It's not a job, it's a lifestyle.
See you later.
What's in the bag? About a hundred pounds of grief.
Steve, could you do me a favor this morning? Well, if I can manage to carve away some time from my incredible hectic schedule, perhaps.
Could you take Erin to her soccer game? I told my mom I would do it, but I forgot I promised Donna I'd go shopping with her.
Donna can't go shopping by herself? It's a girl thing.
Oh.
Like lace bedspreads.
Erin? Soccer? Yeah, I'll take her.
Thanks.
Will you do these dishes? Thanks.
Here.
Honey, take it.
It is your allowance.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
I just wish I didn't have to keep taking it from you.
Donna, you are not taking.
I am giving.
Now don't deprive me of one of my great joys in life.
If I can't take care of my own daughter Thank you.
So how's the leg treating you, Doc? Well, I won't be running the 440 anymore, but you know what? My putting has really improved.
Well you look terrific.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
All those years in school, all that hard work, I just never dreamed it'd be this hard to find a decent job.
Oh, my What is wrong with me? The leg comes back, and the memory Here it is.
This is a friend of a friend of your mother's, Vanessa Markley.
Your mother doesn't know very much about the job, but Vanessa's looking for a second assistant in some kind of styling- fashion-photo kind of thing.
Listen, give her a call.
The worst that can happen is that it's a lousy job.
Thank you, Daddy.
You're welcome.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Say, listen.
Uh, I don't mean to pry or anything, but this job business aside, is everything okay? Are things between you and David okay? Yeah.
Yeah, everything's fine.
Good.
Hey, babe.
You look great.
Thanks.
More resumes? Yeah.
What choice do I have? So, did you finish redecorating the bedroom yet? Nope.
I still have to wallpaper.
Wallpaper? Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know, I know, I know.
And you were right, it was time for me to get rid of my past.
So I'm-I'm throwing it all away.
The pictures, the postcards, the faxes, the videotapes.
All of it, gone.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I've been a bitch.
You weren't.
But if you were, I probably deserved it.
Hey, do you know what we need? Yeah, but I don't think we have time.
No.
Besides that.
We need a vacation.
What do you say? Ooh, yeah, when? Well, we'll go next week.
Just you and me.
I wish we would have thought of this before.
I have to start my work at the Foundation next week.
So, start a week later.
- No, I can't.
- Why not? Okay.
We'll figure something out.
Yeah.
Let's do something really crazy and romantic.
All right.
You handle the crazy.
I'll handle the romantic.
- All right.
- All right.
I'll be back by 4:00.
All right.
Say hi to Donna.
Dear Mrs.
Chavez Uh, hey.
Um, did you forget something? Yeah.
Obviously, so did you.
Pick 'em up, Erin.
Come on, Erin.
Run 'em down, run 'em down.
Good girl.
Ooh.
That's got to hurt.
Head fake, head fake.
Hey, ref, that was pushing.
How about a whistle? Come on.
A yellow card or something? What's the matter with you? You don't see these things? Pushing, interference.
Hey, don't worry about it.
What's your name? Zach.
Zach, you listen to me.
You're doing great out there.
You're playing with a lot of heart and that's what's important, but you can't let those other kids push you around like you do.
Didn't anyone ever tell you what to do if that happens? - No.
- No? Well, I'll tell you.
You take this elbow and you jam it in their ribs.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing? Take your hands off him.
Are you okay, Zachy? Are you even a parent here? What did I tell you about talking to strangers? - But he's not a stranger.
- No? Well, have you ever seen him before? No.
Then he's a stranger.
Not as strange as you are, lady.
Don't you think you're overreacting a little bit? Excuse me, Carly.
Reynolds, you're back in the game in two minutes.
Who's your child? I don't have a child.
I'm babysitting for Erin Taylor.
So, you're not a parent? No, not that I know of.
Then you don't know the first thing about parenting, do you? Well, maybe not the first thing, but I do recognize a kid being beaten up out on the field.
Oh, is that right? Yeah, that's right.
The other kids were using him as a tackling dummy out there.
I was just trying to teach him how to protect himself.
Yeah, well, no one asked for your help.
Zach asked for my help.
Every time he got tripped out on the field, he was asking for help.
Open your eyes, lady.
Stop being so over-protective and doting.
Maybe Zach's father should teach him how to defend himself.
- What did you say your name was? - Steve.
Steve Sanders.
Yeah, well, is it true, Mr.
Sanders, when you look up the word "jerk" in the dictionary, that it says "see 'Steve Sanders" '? Come on, Zach.
Zach doesn't have a father.
Ouch.
Come here, you.
Woo! Hello, Ms.
Markley? Hi.
This is Donna Martin.
Donna Martin, Dr.
Martin's daughter.
Right.
I'm calling about the second assistant stylist job.
What? I'm sorry.
It's just kind of noisy in here.
Yeah, the stylist job.
Right.
Well, okay, I, uh, I just graduated from CU.
My major was in fashion and marketing.
Really? Uh, yeah, that would be great.
Tonight? Okay, sure, absolutely.
Thank you.
- Yeah? - So? Huh? Donna put it together.
I like it.
It's cool.
What do you think? It, uh, looks great.
I think all the girls will like it.
It kind of gives the place, you know, a sort of you know? Up-Upscale look? Yeah, that's it.
Class.
You know? Oh, the plumber wanted me to tell you he needs to replace the sink in the little girls' room.
It'll be about 200 bucks.
Um, how much are those uniforms? About a $100.
But we'll each need at least two.
Great.
How did Val do it? I don't-l don't understand.
I've got bills coming out my ears, and a payroll that's killing me.
But business is good, isn't it? No, it sucks.
It's down almost 60%.
Wow.
None of us knew that.
Knew what? Nothing, nothing.
We're just, uh, just talking shop.
I better get back downstairs.
See you, 911315- - Hi.
- Hey.
So, guess what? I don't know.
What? I got a job interview.
Fashion stylist.
Get out of here.
That's great.
Well, it's just a second assistant's job.
You know getting coffee, stuff like that.
Donna, would you stop it? Come on, it's a start.
And it's the field you want.
You know what? You're not going to be a second assistant for long anyway.
Especially after they see what you can do.
Well, I don't have the job yet.
Come on, it's in the bag.
So, uh, why is all your stuff here? You're not considering living here in the office, are you? It's just until I find a new place.
Okay, you won't live in the apartment, what about on my parents' boat? You can stay there for a while and Donna, it-it's too far.
Besides, you know, I'm actually, uh, I'm saving a little money on rent staying here.
Well, you're not gonna stay here.
You're gonna come with me.
We'll have the apartment all to ourselves.
Look, we already talked about this, all right.
Not until you tell your mom.
Excuse me, sorry.
David, the plumber needs to see you.
Something about needing new drain pipes.
Tell him I'll be right there.
All you gotta do is tell your mom.
It's not that easy.
Not one but two unassisted goals.
That's outstanding.
Your ball control, your passing skills, you're really great, Erin.
But we still lost.
Well, the team lost, but you won.
You know why? Because you never gave up.
In fact, I think that kind of victory deserves something cold and creamy maybe with a little hot fudge on it, what do you say? - Twist my arm.
- Twist your arm? Twist your arm, if I twist your arm, you won't be able to play soccer.
But you don't need your arm to play soccer anyway.
That's the fun of soccer no arms, no hands.
Need a hand? No, thank you.
Hi, Steve.
Hey, Zach.
Are you sure you wouldn't like me to call the auto club for you? No, thank you, really, I can manage.
I see that.
You know, it sounds flooded.
Your fuel system's flooded.
So not only are you a child psychologist, you're an auto mechanic, too.
You're quite the Renaissance Man, aren't you? Well, you should see me dance.
I'd rather not.
I'm not trying to help you.
I'm trying to help Zach.
So if you lay off the starter motor for a second, push the gas pedal down all the way to the floor, all the way to the floor, count to three it might start.
Try it.
Lucky guess, huh? Yeah, well for your information, I only counted to two.
He's nice, Mom.
Put your seat belt on.
You know, I totally think you're doing the right thing holding off.
You don't have to jump right into it with David just because you two - Had sex? - Yeah.
I love him.
He loves me, so Not living together's not gonna change that.
And believe me, Donna, living with Brandon isn't exactly what I dreamed it would be.
Well, personally, I think you're being a little hard on him.
I mean, I still have these silly notes that a boy in fifth grade wrote to me.
Hidden in your lingerie drawer? No, packed away somewhere at my parents' house, but that's beside the point.
No, it's not, it is the point.
If he dumped Tracy the way he claims he did, then why is he still holding onto old pictures of her? Okay, truthfully, you don't have letters, pictures of old boyfriends? I don't know.
Maybe.
Somewhere.
Yeah, right, somewhere.
DYEâ? Now that is different.
We were special.
Would you like to try Arturo Panini's fragrance.
Val? Uh, what are you doing? Uh, nothing.
Um, it's just part of my executive training.
Um, well, what I meant to say was, uh It's not a job, it's a lifestyle, right? I swear, Kelly, if you tell anybody about this Valerie, why would I tell anybody that a good friend of mine sprays cheap perfume on passing strangers for a living? Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Come on, Donna.
I don't get it.
I just don't get it, man.
Why is she having so much trouble telling her parents about us living together? I mean, maybe I'm being stupid, but it, it's starting to make me feel like maybe she's ashamed of me or something.
I think maybe it's the other way around, bro.
What, what do you mean? Well, all right, this is just a stab in the dark, okay? For 22 years, Donna Martin has had a very strict Catholic upbringing, correct? Yep.
Just sleeping with you must fill her with guilt already.
Now you add on to that the guilt that her parents are gonna lay on her for living with you as well? I think maybe it's just too much for her to handle.
That's the way I see it.
Wait, wait, wait.
What am I supposed to do? What am I, just supposed to forget how I feel or something? No, no, just give her some space.
I mean, this thing with the two of you, it's gonna happen because it, it's what both of you want.
It's just, it's gotta happen at her pace, not yours.
Oh, I don't know.
I just, you know, I-l want a commitment.
I see this whole thing you and Kelly living together, and it looks great.
Oh, no, no, no, it's not as easy as it looks, my friend.
Get out of here.
Are you having trouble with, uh, Kelly? Brandon and Kelly fighting? I don't think so.
Kelly may disagree with you there, my friend.
Seriously? No, everything's okay.
I'm thinking about throwing her a surprise birthday party.
I figure that'll smooth everything over.
- What do you think? - Yeah? All in favor say "aye.
" - Aye.
- Aye.
Let the record show.
Thank you for doing this with me.
I don't think I could've done it alone.
It's okay.
You're doing the right thing, Donna.
You and David both had AIDS tests.
So this is just another precaution.
Then why am I so nervous? I mean, they're just tiny little pills.
I feel like I'm robbing a bank or something.
I guess I'm just a little confused.
I mean, first sex, now this.
It just goes against everything I ever learned.
What am I doing? You're protecting yourself and David.
You saw what I just went through.
You don't want to put yourself through that.
It isn't worth the risk or the pain.
I know.
You're right.
I just I never imagined that I'd be standing here buying birth control pills.
Donna?! Oh, my God.
Mom, hi.
Hi.
Hi, Kelly, dear.
How are you? Good, good.
And you? Uh, well, actually, I'm lucky to be alive.
The, uh, shoe sale at O'Meyers? Don't attempt it unless you're up on karate.
I tell you, some women are absolutely crazy.
So, Mom, what are you? Uh, you don't usually come here, do you? Dr.
Morgan's office is so disorganized.
They called your father's prescription in here instead of the store over by the house, so That's all right.
I was in the neighborhood.
No problem.
Oh, I understand you spoke - to Vanessa Markley.
- Mm-hmm.
That's great.
I hear nothing but wonderful things about her.
When are you gonna see her? Huh? Oh.
Uh Uh, later this afternoon.
Good.
Oh, uh, God.
I just remembered that I forgot to buy my aspirin.
Okay, here you are, young lady.
Your doctor prescribed three months worth.
What? Now, if you've never taken this brand of birth control pill before, I want to explain how the new dispenser works.
Birth control pills? Yeah.
They're mine.
My doctor thought that they would help regulate me.
Oh, they're-they're yours, Kelly.
Mm-hmm.
- Mr.
Cummings? - Yes? Call on line three for you.
Okay.
Oh, for a minute there, I thought, uh I'm sorry, Kelly.
I feel like I've just invaded your privacy.
L-I apologize.
- You needed some aspirin? - Sure did.
I'll pick up some for both of us.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
Oh, and thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Well, you are obviously very talented, Miss Martin.
Raw, to be sure.
Naive, to be expected.
Renderings immature, perhaps, but innately talented.
Thank you.
Is it hot out here, or is it me? I don't think so.
- Do you have any aspirin? - I think I do.
Oh, you wouldn't believe the day that I had today.
Roger quit.
My assistant just stormed out.
I've got seven major clients backed up, and this shoot is going to go to hell in a hand basket if Oh, thank you.
Are you sure it's not hot out here? No.
Actually, it's kind of cool.
Uh, Ms.
Markley, about the job.
I realize I don't have that much experience, but Second assistant is out.
Without Roger, I desperately need a first.
We're gonna be shooting with Fernando Caldero.
You do know Fernando's work? Oh, who doesn't? He's absolutely Temperamental, yes.
Demanding, of course.
Cantankerous, to a fault, but just absolutely brilliant in subtropical light.
Oh.
I really think I need to go to the ladies room.
I do hope that I've answered all your questions.
Uh, no.
What about the job? The job? Of course, the job.
What else have we been talking about the job? We can go over all the details You know, fringe benefits, salary in my studio tomorrow.
We shoot in Honolulu in three days.
Honolulu, as in Hawaii? Well, unless they have moved it someplace else.
We're talking about the Christopher Swimsuit Catalog.
It's always shot in Hawaii.
So, I have the job? That's what happens when you get hired, isn't it? I thought I was very clear.
I really have to go.
Thank you.
Yes.
In my world.
Nothing good.
Just get back with something to come true Okay, this place is dead.
Maybe I should close up.
No.
Don't worry, David.
The night is young.
The crowds will show.
Oh, I hope so.
This band is terrible.
Well, there is that, but, you know, people show up for other reasons, like the ambiance, the fine women, the cheap booze.
The waitresses.
Ooh, is that Marcy? Oh, yeah, those are the new uniforms Donna designed.
- Pretty neat, huh? - Neat? Did he say neat? Neat.
He said "neat.
" It's an adjective.
Hot.
The word is "hot.
" You'll have to excuse me, gentlemen.
Suddenly, the evening has taken a turn for the Steve Sanders among us.
Wow.
Let me push through the crowd so I can get a drink in this place.
Hey, guys.
Uh, Freddie, a white wine, please? Sorry.
No white wine.
What? L, uh I I messed up the order.
It wasn't delivered.
David, that's gonna cost you, like, 100 drinks tonight.
Thanks for reminding me, Val.
I'll see you, guys.
Uh, listen, by the way, Kelly wanted me to tell you that she's not gonna make it tonight.
She's probably macraméing some new furniture or something.
Sorry.
You know, while you're at it, you might want to take it easy on David.
He's having a hard enough time keeping things together without you headlining it for him.
You're right.
I guess I should go apologize.
I guess you should.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
I'm not allowed to date the customers.
But I'm not a customer.
I haven't paid for a drink in here since they opened.
I don't know.
I'll have to ask David.
Well, if that's all it takes, I can ask him for you myself.
Would you really do that for me? Sure.
I do for you, you do for me.
So, who's doing who? Yeah.
Uh, why don't we work on that one together? Dinner tomorrow night perhaps? David, I-I'm sorry.
I I was just joking.
By the looks of it downstairs, there's nothing really to joke about.
Club's doing okay.
David, it's me.
Remember, I used to own half this place? I mean, you got to be off at least 60 or 70%.
You're going to belly-up in a couple weeks.
You're working me for something, Val.
What is it? No.
This is for you, okay? Just hear me out.
I have a business proposition, okay? Let me buy back in.
We'll go 50-50, and you can take it until I can pay you back.
David, you can't lose.
You know I can bring the After Dark back up to speed.
Come on.
We were great together.
You handle the music, I handle the business.
I can't.
I can't I can't jeopardize the relationship I have with Donna over business.
I can handle Donna.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
Brandon, guess what happened to me? Whoa.
Cheer down, girl.
I can't.
I've got to find David.
Where is he? Oh, David-David is, uh David was here.
He was here, he was, but then there was, uh, uh There was another tunnel collapse because of the subway thing that they're building Upstairs? Thanks.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Guess what.
Guess what.
Uh, Uh you won the lottery.
Oh, no, no, no.
Better.
I got a job.
I got a real job.
Well, that's an accomplishment.
- Congratulations.
- That's great.
Okay, ask me where.
I don't know.
Well, take a wild guess.
- Borneo? - Burma.
- Why'd you say that? - I don't know.
I panicked.
Ah, Hawaii.
The job is in Hawaii, and it starts on Thursday.
Hawaii that's um - A long commute.
- It's a far away.
Whoa.
Hawaii? You're-You're going there just like that? Yes.
Isn't that great? No.
It's It's not a permanent job.
It's just for a photo shoot.
I'm an assistant to Vanessa Markley.
And guess who's shooting it? Fernando Caldero.
The Fernando Caldero.
The whole thing is gonna be less than a week.
And guess what? I want you to come with me.
L-I can't.
I can't afford to.
See, you don't have to pay for a thing.
I'll take my first class ticket.
I'll change it in for two coach seats.
Well, who's going to watch the club if you go, David? No one.
You know, I can I can close this place down for a week.
I mean, business isn't gonna pick up until the kids are back in school.
Wait a second.
Why don't we all go? Yes! None of us took a vacation after graduation.
I I-I think we owe ourselves this.
The man has a point.
You don't have to ask me twice.
I'm already there.
Who knows when we're gonna be able to afford a vacation like this again? You can't afford it now.
Speak for yourself.
I have an emergency fund stashed away and what bigger emergency is there than a Hawaiian vacation? Oh, this is so great.
We're all going to Hawaii.
As long as I can talk Kelly into starting her new job a week later.
Well, you guys can count me out.
I have too much to do here.
Aloha! She'll be coming around the mountain.
She'll be coming around the mountain.
She'll be coming around the mountain.
When she comes Honey, don't worry.
Your secret's safe with me, okay? Okay, well then, why don't you join me? Actually, I will.
But not here.
In Hawaii.
Oh, boy, here it comes.
You care to explain that? Actually, it's very simple.
Just hear me out, okay? You're gonna loan me money from your emergency savings account and I'll pay you back, double the interest when I get a new job.
All right, I'll tell you what the deal's gonna be.
Not a penny of interest, but we share the same room and the same bed.
What?! What do you mean, "what"? It's not like it hasn't happened before, you know.
After the graduation party and all.
Yeah, Steve, I know what happened, okay? And not to cripple your fragile male ego or anything, but that was an accident, an absolute fluke.
An unfortunate lack of good judgment on both our parts.
Mm-hmm, well, maybe the first time.
But what about the second time it happened that night? Okay, okay, listen to me.
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
No interest, one room, two beds.
Deal.
Now, either step in or step out.
I guess it's true what they say about cold showers, huh? Yes, it raises the voice.
Yo-ho! Okay.
Which one? I don't know, Kel, I'm not sure.
Why don't you just tell the truth, Brandon? You don't like anything I'm doing in here.
No, no, no, it's not that.
It's just, um Neither one of those is really me.
Well, what is you? I don't know.
Maybe I'm just not a wallpaper kind of guy, huh? I thought the whole point of me doing this was to make this room ours.
You just want to keep it yours.
That's not true.
All right, Kel The one on the left.
It'll be fine.
Fine.
Oh, that's great.
Why don't you try to hold back your enthusiasm, Brandon? All right, Kel, why don't we talk about this instead of talking around it, okay? This isn't about the wallpaper.
This is about the photos and the cards, isn't it? I can't win this one.
If I say yes, I'm a bitch, if I say no, I'm a liar.
This isn't about winning or losing.
This is about how you and I feel about each other at this point in time.
The past is over.
Over but not forgotten.
Hey, uh, Brandon, I just wanted to let you know that I've changed my mind and I'm going to Hawaii.
I hope you can make it, Kel.
It just wouldn't be the same without you.
There's no way I can go, Brandon.
Did you call the Foundation and ask them if you could start work late? I can't, it's totally unprofessional.
All right, fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either.
The whole point is to take a vacation together.
You know what? I think what we need is a vacation from each other.
So, what I said was, "I don't know if this blue is me" and she said, "Well, if it's not you" then who is it?" What do you think? I think you need a blue that's more you.
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
You know, Steve, I think you really kind of understand me.
A lot of guys don't, but they say they do because they want other things.
But I think you really do, don't you? Yeah Whatever you say.
Oh, the service here stinks.
Do you know what you want? Hmm, they got burgers here? I don't usually eat too much meat but once in a while you just gotta have a burger to satisfy a craving.
You ever get that? You know, a craving? All the time.
Uh, sorry for the wait.
We're swamped today and two girls didn't show.
That's really not our problem now, is it? Again I'm I'm really sorry.
Uh, can I start you guys off with a Carly? As if my day wasn't bad enough.
What are you doing here? Well, I don't know how to break this to you, but some of us actually have to work for a living.
Steve, is she being rude? No, she's just How's Zach? Zach's fine.
Look, um, I'm really busy.
Can I get you guys a drink or what? See, I told you.
She is being rude.
My boyfriend thinks you're really obnoxious, too.
- Boyfriend? - Boyfriend? Miss, can we have our drinks, please? Before somebody dehydrates here? I hate to correct you but rude and obnoxious would actually be me telling you that you're probably one of the dumbest people walking the face of the earth.
Carly! Marcy"- Miss, please, we're dying here.
One second, please.
Steve, are you just going to let her talk to me that way? No.
Carly, apologize to her.
Excuse me, is there a problem here? - Yes.
- No.
Carly? Your waitress called me stupid.
I did not.
- I called you dumb.
- What? Now that was dumb.
All right, that's it, you're out of here.
Right now, you're fired.
I'm sorry, sir, I'll get you taken care of.
I think she likes me.
Martini's shaken now.
Yeah.
You know, it's not too late to change your mind.
I can't.
I start my work at the Foundation next week.
I just think it'll be best for both of us if I don't go.
Yeah, thanks a lot for your help, Steve.
Who told you to pack your whole closet? You better hurry, we're going to miss the plane.
Steve, I'm going to, uh, I'm going to go in my own car.
But I thought we were going in one car? We were.
You're not bailing out on me, are you? What's going on? Nothing.
Well, hurry up, we're gonna be late.
Aloha, we'll send a postcard.
Steve, I'm not bailing out on you.
Go to the airport, if I'm not there, just get on the plane.
Okay.
See ya, Kel.
You better go.
Just just tell me that you don't want me to go.
I don't.
But I do.
Kel, I haven't missed your birthday in seven years.
Why don't, why don't you just come with me? It'll be fun, come on.
Brandon, it's just a birthday.
We can celebrate it when you get back.
You better go or you're going to miss your flight.
I don't care about the flight.
Just go.
Have a good time, okay? You know I love you.
And I love you.
Aloha, welcome to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel.
And aloha to you, my man.
This place is outstanding.
The natural beauty as well as the surgically enhanced.
Check it out.
Yeah, I'm looking.
And while you're at it, look at Vanessa.
Donna's boss is in real bad shape.
I better go give 'em a hand.
Oh, poor kid.
Has the worst case of flu in recorded history.
I think she used every barf bag on the plane.
Thanks for the graphic reminder.
Vanessa, do you want a wheelchair or something? Just kill me.
Somebody put a bullet in my head.
Can I get you anything else? A bed and I think a bucket.
You know, she shouldn't have gotten on that plane.
Maybe it's just a 24-hour virus.
She could be better in the morning.
And if she's not? She'll just have to postpone the photo shoot.
It won't affect my tan one bit.
Guys, she can't do that.
What do you say we check in? Scope out our room, you little nasty, fun tart.
Will there be anything else, sir? No, that's it.
Here you go, man.
Oh, mahalo.
And enjoy your stay in Waikiki.
Thanks.
All right, fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either.
The whole point is to take a vacation together.
I think what we need is a vacation from each other.
This is about how you and I feel about each other at this point in time.
The past is over.
Thanks a lot.
Donna, would you relax? Come on, I'm sure Vanessa's gonna be fine by tomorrow.
And if she's not? Well, then like my grandfather used to say, we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it.
Come on.
Look at this.
We're in paradise together me and you.
We're happy, we're healthy, we're with our best friends and no matter what, we'll always have each other.
Always? Yeah.
Look I'm sorry.
I'm I'm sorry for pressuring you about this whole living together thing, you know.
It wasn't fair.
I know you have a lot to deal with right now, especially with your mom.
I just wanted to know that I'm not going anywhere.
So as far as me moving in, I want you to wait until you're absolutely ready.
That means everything to me.
Thank you.
I knew there was a reason I loved you.
Oh, yes.
This bed'll be just fine, this whole room is fine.
And where exactly do you think you're sleeping? Oh, I was thinking about the left side.
Can you see if there's a room with two beds, please? I'll check with the assistant manager, ma'am.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Hey, Val, what's the big difference? One bed or two beds, it's all the same.
Well, if you don't mind the sleeping arrangements Moi? Then I think you'll be very happy on the sofa.
Does it take quarters? You have to do it.
Look, I-l don't know the first thing about You'll learn.
Quickly, I hope.
Ms.
Markley, isn't there someone else that we can call? Just a mortician.
Tell him I'm almost ready.
Gallows humor.
Accurate, possibly.
- Ms.
Markley - Donna, you're a very talented very capable, very smart young woman.
If I didn't think that you could handle it, I would not have called Fernando and told him that you're handling everything.
Oh, my God.
You know what you're saying is right.
She can handle this.
- David! - Donna, come on.
Think about it, how hard can it be? We're all here with you, we can help you.
Smart boy.
Just one more thing.
Mm-hmm.
Whatever you do, don't piss off Fernando.
Oh, man.
Look at that pair.
Ah, you've seen one, you've seen 'em all, Steve.
I'm talking about the women.
They're scorchers.
Is that all you ever think about? No.
Sometimes I think about food.
Maybe you ought to think about putting on some sunscreen there, my brother.
- No, I'm cool.
- Really? You look a little pink around the edges to me.
Does that hurt? Uh-huh.
They call that a healthy glow.
Is that what they're calling it these days? Oh, so many women, so little self-restraint.
You know what? Time to take the plunge.
I'll catch you guys later.
Bye.
Hey.
-Hi.
-Hey.
What'll it be folks? Uh, I don't know, something cold, fruity? Tropical smoothies? Make it two.
Thanks.
You know, it's too bad Kelly isn't here.
Is there a reason you felt like sticking that knife in me right now? What, I think she'd really like it.
Val, I thought you two buried the hatchet? Why are you still at each other's throats? That's ridiculous.
We're not.
Brandon, despite how it looks we're actually really good friends.
Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
It's me okay, Brandon, remember me? You can quit with the dog and pony show.
I just need you to get off her back, okay? I mean it's hard enough for all of us to adjust to living together without you fanning the flames.
Look, you may not believe this, and you have every right not to, but I'm just doing it, because I-l want to protect you.
Protect me? From what? From who? - From you.
- From me? Yeah.
I mean, I know you better than anybody.
Even yourself.
I just don't want you to get hurt, Brandon.
I mean, here you are on the most beautiful beach in the whole entire world and you feel like crap.
I hate that.
Val, maybe your heart's in the right place and if it is, then I appreciate it.
But the rest of this stuff with Kelly has gotta stop.
You understand? Yeah.
Well, well, this is turning quite into the amateur hour, isn't it.
I mean the only reason that I took this gig was to work with Vanessa.
So what am I gonna do now? Uh, you could give her a chance, that's what you could do.
She just might surprise you.
I just love surprises.
Uh, Mr.
Caldero, uh, we've prepped every detail in LA.
I have all of Vanessa's layouts and notes, I booked all the locations, checked the props, double-checked the modeling agencies, catalogued the swimsuits.
I have everything Vanessa has.
Oh, really? You got her eye? Because this is what this is about, Miss Martin.
It's about the eye.
The art.
The look.
We're not taking snapshots here, everything has to fit.
The way the hair falls, the color of the sand, the ripple of the shore, can you understand that? Of course I can.
The last thing I need is a poser.
Hey, wait a second, she's not a poser.
There's a reason why she graduated first in her design class.
Oh, that's gonna help me sleep really well tonight.
Mr.
Caldero, look, I'm not pretending to be Vanessa Markley, I'm Donna Martin, but no one takes more pride in their work than I do.
I know I can do a great job.
I just need you to give me the chance to prove it.
Okay, Miss Martin, 7:00 AM, has to be ready.
And please no screwups.
There won't be.
Mr.
Caldero, thank you.
Don't thank me yet.
Please close the door as you leave.
Okay.
Donna, I don't know how you did it, but that was incredible.
The way you handled him when he was coming There's no way I can pull this off.
No way.
I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do.
This is gonna be a disaster, a complete, total disaster.
Donna, it'll be okay, come on.
Okay, girls, work now.
Smile, smile.
Lot of energy, girls, a lot of energy.
Watch your chin, watch your chin.
Move the waist.
Turn to the right.
Right.
No, more to the left now.
Your left, smile.
Lots of energy.
Let's go now, lose the standards, bring in the new models, bring in the tikis.
Let's go while I've still got some light.
- Come on.
- Yeah.
What is it that you don't understand? -Huh? Is it my English? Uh, which do you want first? I want you to bring the tiki gods, set them right over there.
And, Martin baby, please, anticipate! Anticipate! Right.
Models, let's go.
Get the tikis! Hurry, please.
God, am I dead or am I dreaming? - You're neither, my friend.
- Those aren't real.
- Oh, yes.
Mm-hmm.
- Nah, nah.
- Real chest.
- It's the only way.
- Uh, excuse me.
- Shh.
How am I supposed to move this? You pick it up like that, all right? And then you drag it out.
- Can you do it? - Uh, he-he can do it.
- Drag it out.
- It's-it's foam, - I-| didn't know it was foam.
- Yes.
David, is there anything we can do to help you, man? Shoot me, please.
Let's move it, Martin, while I still got some light! Martin, get over here! - Right.
Yeah? - Donna, Donna, Donna, stay with it, baby, you're doing a great job.
Oh, you had to say that, thanks.
Martin, now! You know, Steve, you might want to think about putting a shirt on, you're getting awful red, buddy.
- Nah, it's just a base.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, you guys see that guy on the boat? Yeah, so? He's just a prop.
He's totally hot.
If you say so.
Okay, you guys, can you please help me with the tikis? - Yeah.
- Yeah, sure.
I just did my nails, sorry.
Thanks.
Booga, booga, booga.
Put the tiki, the big one further back.
Put the big tiki in the back! And will someone please get some shade on those girls? Their faces, their makeup is gonna melt.
I'll get it.
Steve! Your prop! Martin! What're you doing? I got it.
Somebody help.
Uh, all righty.
What're you doing? - Martin! - I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
Oh, my God! David, put that one up - like the other one over there.
- Whoa! Uh Okay.
Hello? I got it.
I got this.
Okay.
No, no, Martin, Martin, help the girls on to the boat! Oh.
Oh.
God.
Come on.
- Uh, don't don't panic.
- I can't swim.
I can't swim.
Guys.
I can't swim! Help! Donna.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Here, I got it.
You okay? I got this one, huh, guys? - Are you okay'? - Are you okay'? You all right? - What's your name? - Sonia.
Sonia? Come on.
You okay? You all right? Well, that's gratitude.
Oh, she's just scared.
Val, can I get a towel? Oh, thanks.
A good one.
Cool.
Come on, bud.
You idiot! You're incredibly stupid! You are worthless! Mr.
Caldero, I can explain.
I'm sorry, and I'll-I'll Please shut up, Miss Martin.
You ruined the whole photo shoot.
You're stupid! Hey! Hey, mellow out.
Aren't you being a little hard on these guys? Who asked for your opinion, jackass? Look, being an overrated, under-talented photographer does not give you the right to abuse anyone, including me.
Get out of my face! I think you'd better get out of here before you get hurt, man.
Oh, yeah? Who's gonna do it? Is it gonna be you? Huh? Not my eye! You're gonna hear from my lawyers, you hear me? And you, Martin You're finished! My life's over.
No, Donna.
It's okay.
Look, I'm sorry, guys.
I didn't mean to screw things up for you.
Hey, hey, hey, man, uh, he-he had it coming.
Thanks a lot.
- I'm David Silver.
- Noah Hunter.
This is Donna Martin, Valerie Malone.
Hey.
Thanks.
Brandon Walsh and Steve Sanders.
Hey, thanks for your help out there, man.
I wasn't doing much else anyway.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice meeting you.
Hey, man, you got to put a shirt on.
The sun's doing a number on you.
Yeah.
I'm feeling a little toasty.
Aah! Hey, can we buy you a beer later? Sure.
Where you guys staying? Oh, the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
All right.
I'll catch you later.
Don, you okay? Oh, no, uh-uh.
Oh, lobster boy? Maybe his last one was Delvecchio.
Because I don't know.
He came in with that right hand.
It was a pretty good one Little eh.
- Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
- Right there.
Brandon? Tracy.
- Hi.
- Tracy, how you doing? Wow.
What are you doing here? I could ask you the same question.
- Hey, Steve.
- Tracy.
- Val.
- Hi.
How are you? What a surprise.
Is the whole gang here? This is possibly the worst day of my entire life.
Donna, come on.
None of it was your fault.
It was all my fault.
What was I thinking that I could actually pull this off? I could actually fake it with Fernando Caldero.
What was I thinking? Donna, come on.
The guy was a jerk.
I'm the jerk.
God, I'm so embarrassed.
What am I supposed to tell Vanessa? That she lost one of her biggest clients and best photographers 'cause she hired a complete idiot? Donna, come on.
David Please, I just I just want to be alone, okay? Trace.
It's so good to see you.
- Yeah.
You, too.
- Where's Kelly? Ah, she stayed home.
She couldn't make the trip.
- Oh, that's too bad.
- Yeah.
Well, come here.
I want you to meet Eric.
All right.
Hey, Eric.
Eric Andersen, Brandon Walsh.
Brandon, it's nice to meet you.
Yeah, good to meet you, too, man.
- How's it going? - Excellent.
Good.
Eric's my fiancé.
Fiancé? - You don't say? - Yeah.
That's great.
Congratulations.
We're getting married next month.
He's going to grad school at U.
H.
, so we're going to be living here.
Fantastic.
That's fantastic.
Well, you got yourself a great girl here.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I have a few more phone calls to make.
Why don't you two stay here and, uh, catch up? -Okay.
Oh, hey, listen, we're, uh going to Waimea Falls tomorrow.
Maybe you and your friends might want to, uh, join us.
Oh, yes, you have to.
It's so beautiful.
Yeah, sure.
It sounds great.
Excellent.
It was good meeting you.
- You, too.
- Bye.
- We'll see you later.
- Isn't he great? I can't believe you're getting married.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Ah, I hope we didn't interrupt.
- No.
- No.
No, not at all.
- Val.
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hey.
- Hi.
God, when are we going to catch up? Oh, how about now? Yeah, uh, pie-sunset sightseeing? Well, I would love to, but I can't right now.
But we're still on for tomorrow, right? Absolutely.
- I'll call you, okay? - Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- She looks great.
- Copy that.
Of course, she's no Kelly.
Sorry.
Donna? Vanessa, uh, what are you doing out of bed? Here, come-come in and sit down.
Your young man told me all about it.
He did? Presumptuous of him, of course.
Impulsive, without question.
And necessary? Absolutely.
Does my head look big to you? It feels like it weighs 300 pounds.
Vanessa, I, um I don't know how to begin apologizing.
No.
I came to apologize to you.
I am so sorry, Donna.
It was completely unfair of me to put you in that position.
What happened on the beach this morning was entirely my fault.
Not yours by any means.
And I take full responsibility for it and for the awful embarrassment I must have caused you.
I truly hope that you can forgive me.
I don't know what to say.
Thank you would be good.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ugh! This is so lame.
What? Not what.
Who.
Us.
We're pathetic.
What are you talking about? I mean, here we are in the most beautiful, romantic place in the world, and we're with each other.
So? Are we missing something here? Yes we're missing something.
- Kelly? - Oh, thanks, Val.
You know I didn't mean it like that, Brandon.
Uh-huh, right.
You know, I don't have a clue what you're talking about, woman.
Okay, let me sum it up for you in one word Clare.
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.
I mean, look at me.
I'm young, beautiful, intelligent, and I'm here alone with you guys.
Now, why is that? Just lucky, I guess.
There's Noah.
Let's go buy him that beer that we owe him.
No, no, no, guys.
Uhuh.
- What? - Bluntly? Get lost.
What? Steve, I think Miss Malone wants to pay him a private social call, - if you know what I'm saying.
- Ah.
That's why I love you.
Thank you.
Shall I wait up for you, my sweet? Not if I get lucky.
Play safe.
So, did you get the number of the girl at the airport who gave you the lei? - No.
- Don't you feel cheap and used? - Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, right, it's you.
Valerie Malone.
L-I met you at the photo shoot on the beach? Yeah, that's it.
What's up? Nothing.
Uh, may I? Yeah, just take your shoes off.
Okay.
I think you missed a spot over there.
Well, I'll keep doing it till I get it right.
Yeah, practice makes perfect.
Those kind of come-en's work in Beverly Hills? Usually.
They work here, too.
So, how did you know I was from Beverly Hills? - That obvious, huh? - Oh.
That and the way you let your friends get all beat up at the photo thing.
You just sat on your butt and didn't swing into action till the whole thing was over.
Did someone send over a dossier on me? They didn't have to.
It's written all over your face.
Which, as you already know, is incredibly beautiful.
So does that kind of line work in Hawaii? Usually.
Wine or beer? Wine.
Come on, I got some below deck.
Hmm.
Oh, I love your boat.
Oh, it's not mine.
I just sailed over for some rich guy.
Well, do you have a boat? Not like this one.
Mike Tyson on her ear, man.
She had a hell of a swing for a little girl.
Well, maybe if you hadn't grabbed her.
I I did not grab her.
I caught her from falling.
Well, maybe if you hadn't knocked her off her barstool.
I didn't knock her, I I nudged her.
- Nudged her by grabbing her - Hey! I didn't grab anything, and who's side are you on? You know, you might want to put some ice on that before it swells.
Room service? Yeah, order some more beer.
You sure you want more beer? I'm still standing, right? Yeah, but you're listing.
Which way? - Left.
- Left.
Two more ought to do it then.
Beer it is.
Hey, Brandon, you know what really fries my eggs? No.
You.
Me.
Yeah, we're-we're here in Hawaii and I-l feel like I'm alone.
Down at the bar, I felt like I was drinking all by myself.
When-when are you gonna loosen up? We're in Hawaii.
We're gonna go home in a few days.
Yeah, we're going home, Steve.
But home to what? Do you have a job to go home to? When you put it that way, no.
Do any of us? You're still bummed about the Times.
The Times, the Chronicle, the Herald Tribune, the Union.
It wasn't supposed to be like this, man.
You're supposed to get out of college and get a job, and just go on with your life.
Yeah, where's that written? School, job, marriage, kids, mortgage.
Maybe that's your plan, but it's not mine.
I'm gonna explore my options, see what life holds for me.
You know what your trouble is? You make too many plans.
It's like setting yourself up for a disappointment.
You need to step back.
See what comes to you.
Uh-huh.
The huntress home from the hunt.
So, darling, did you bag the big one? Would you put a cork in it? Oh, that's kinky.
No luck, huh? That's not it at all.
Just that he had plans he couldn't get out of.
He's coming with us tomorrow.
That's great.
- You okay? - Mmm.
My friend here is waxing philosophical.
Not exactly the best quality - in a drinking buddy.
- You want to talk about it? No.
Why don't you guys get some sleep? I'll see you tomorrow.
That's what we should do.
An awfully small bed for such big pillows.
Brandon, will you do me a favor, please? Take Romeo with you, huh? Feel like doing charity work tonight? Why? 'Cause I'm in need of a little charity.
You're so pathetic.
I'm sorry Eric couldn't make it.
Oh, me, too.
They called him in for some last minute orientation.
Mmhmm.
Did you tell Noah what time we were leaving? I'm not worried, he'll be here.
Hey, right, there he is.
Room for one more? - Always.
Hey.
- Yeah, jump in man.
Glad you could make it.
Watch your heads, ladies.
Mahalo, Captain.
Cool, let's get in it.
Going for it.
Whoo-hoo! Donna, I appreciate you calling, but I think you're forgetting Brandon broke up with Tracy, not the other way around.
It sure didn't look that way to me.
They're just friends.
That's what friends do They hang out, they have fun.
I hope you're right, Kel.
No, Donna, I trust Brandon.
I trust him completely.
Uh, Kel, David just got done with his shower.
Yeah, I don't want him to know that I called you so I should go.
- Okay.
- All right.
I'll see you in a couple of clays.
- Okay.
- Bye.
I tried to warn you, amigo.
The sun out here is a lot different than it is back home.
Tell that to my back.
Ah, don't worry about it.
David and Noah will be back soon with some stuff the locals use.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be dead by then.
Just relax.
It's gonna take a few minutes to work.
What is that stuff? Uh, kukui nut oil and aloe vera.
All right, that should do it.
Thanks, Noah.
You know you should put some more on him in a couple hours.
- Me? - Well, yeah.
- Aren't you and him, uh? - Me and him? Are you kidding? I don't think so.
I love you, too, Val.
Uh, Noah Hey, listen, um, you know I think he's gonna probably be useless tonight.
Do you want to get something to eat? Maybe show me a little bit of the island? I'd love to, but I can't.
L-I've got stuff to do.
Oh, well, that's too bad.
'Cause, you know, I'm leaving in a couple of days.
I'll tell you what, why don't I take you and your friends tomorrow to see places on this island that no one has ever seen.
Oh, that'd be great.
Um, you know I think my friends are busy tomorrow, but I would love to see the island.
All right, you're on.
I hope so.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, the ancient Hawaiians used these valleys for their fertility rituals.
Well, I can see why.
Uh, pardon the cliché, but, uh, do you come here often? It's been a long time.
Not since Since what? Uh, not since the last time.
Come on down here, I want to show you something.
What about them? -Don't worry about them.
They'll be okay.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Oh, wow.
You know I think I've seen the most beautiful place on the island, and then you show me a better one.
Yeah, it is, isn't it? Oh, it's incredibly romantic.
I can't believe I have to leave in two days.
You'll be back.
Besides I'm planning a trip to LA.
- Really? - I got a job offer prepping a 50-footer to Tahiti.
Well, if you need a place to stay Thanks.
I'll find something.
What? What is it? It's nothing.
In fact everything is just right.
No, I just You know you're starting to give me a complex.
In spite of myself, I'm really attracted to you.
Then, uh, what's the problem? There's no problem.
I just can't make love to a woman I hardly know.
It's a thing I have.
L-I can't help it.
Hey, it's not you, it's me, okay? No really, Brandon, you dumping me is the best thing - that could have ever happened.
- Come on, Trace, don't put it that way.
You make it sound so cruel.
Well, to tell you the truth, at the time, I thought it was.
It's okay.
I told him everything.
Yeah.
Is this, uh, is this where I thank you? Thank me for what? For letting Tracy go to me.
You know how funny life is? I mean, it wasn't until I met Eric, that I finally understood what you felt for Kelly.
And then I realized that it was the best feeling that you could possibly have.
You're very lucky to have her, Brandon.
Just like you guys are lucky to have each other.
Get out of here.
No, no, no, this one's on me.
Oh, thanks.
Hey.
Well, well.
Isn't this a pretty picture.
Kel? What are you doing here? Maybe I should ask you the same thing.
I can't believe you're here.
Hmm, I bet you can't.
Wait, let me guess.
Valerie call? No.
Donna.
- Donna? - Mm-hmm.
Kelly, let me explain Explain what? Well, for starters, this is Eric Andersen.
Tracy's fiancé.
Fiancé? - Fiancé.
- Hi.
Kelly, is it? Nice to meet you.
I am so embarrassed.
You should be.
Can we buy you guys a mai tai? Come on.
I know it sounds like such a cliché, but why does love make such fools of us? When you figure that one out, I think you'll solve the world's problems, baby.
Mmm.
Hmm.
- Her fiancé.
- Oh, yes.
God, I was so embarrassed.
I feel like such a jerk.
I don't think women can be jerks.
I think that's-that's a right reserved for us men.
You know before you got here, I had a lot of, uh, time to think.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Think about what? Do you really want to know? Yeah.
Wallpaper.
I think I liked the one on the right better, - didn't you? - Yeah.
- Yeah, you did.
- Yeah.
- It was much nicer.
- Mm-hmm.
What are all those viny things? - See 'em all over the place.
- They're banyan vines.
Some are about a hundred years old.
See, they grow down from the branches and actually plant themselves in the ground.
Kind of like extra tree trunks.
Well, it's too bad Kelly didn't come.
She wanted to take Tracy to breakfast to apologize.
Can't say I blame her.
Where's he taking us? To the second most beautiful place on the island.
God, you should have seen the first.
Okay, so tell me that I'm crazy.
- You're crazy.
- Thank you.
Noah? Noah? Well, look at him! I mean, he's-he's cute, and sexy and funny and, oh, God, look at that butt.
The whole thing makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, well, you know, what he does for a living? -Nope.
He fixes boats.
I mean, he sails them for rich owners.
Now why couldn't he be a rich owner? I mean, he's as broke as - as I am.
- Valerie, there's nothing wrong with not having money.
Well, there's nothing great about it, either.
Brandon, I can't.
I mean, at this point in my life, I can't get involved with anybody without a substantial bank account.
What's wrong with me? Watch yourselves over here.
It gets pretty dense and dangerous.
Man, this rain forest is incredible.
Ugh, enough of these vines.
- Where's this place already? - Relax, Val, it can't be that much further.
David, you can't move back in with your dad.
-Ow.
You're gonna hate it.
-Donna, what am I supposed to do? Huh? Come on, I told you I'm not gonna pressure you anymore, and I'm not, but I've got to live somewhere and at least with my parents the rent's cheap.
Oh, man.
Check out these banyan vines.
These have gotta be at least a hundred feet long.
Are you trying to change the subject on me? No.
Oh, great.
What's wrong? Oh, my shoelace is untied.
Oh, great.
Do me a favor, go, uh, go stop everyone, all right? Tell 'em I'll be right with you guys.
Okay, hurry up.
Oh, great.
Oh! I'm gonna go back and see what's keeping him.
No.
We'll all go back.
Go.
Where did you guys STOP? A little further up here.
Here, we stopped right here by this rock.
Well, maybe he went back to the car.
For a shoelace, Steve? David! David! Why would he go back? What if something happened to him? David! What? You see something? No, no, it's nothing.
Um Steve, take Val and Donna Take 'em back to the car.
If David's not there, call the HPD, and tell 'em there's a hiker missing.
Yeah.
Come on.
Careful.
Let's do it.
Uh, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful, man.
Be careful, it's slippery.
Thanks, partner.
You got it.
There he is.
David.
David? David? Take it easy, take it easy.
L got you.
I got you.
I got you.
Take it easy.
Where are you hurt? - Everywhere, everywhere.
- Where are you hurt? Any sharp pains? - Nah.
No.
- Your neck? Your back, okay? No, it's okay, it's fine.
It's fine.
I don't think we should move him.
We have to, it's a tidal stream.
The tide's coming in.
Can you walk, bro? - I don't know.
- Want to try? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Ow! Ow! Ow! My ankle! I don't know how long it's gonna take them to find us back here.
You up for it? Come on, David.
Here we go.
Ow! Oh, easy.
Here we go.
Hey, wait.
Guys, guys, guys, here they are.
David! Hey! Hey, grab a leg, buddy.
- Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
- David, are you okay? Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
- You're all cut up.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
Thanks, man.
Thank you for saving my butt back there.
You got it.
Let's go.
Wow.
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.
Well You can't imagine how scared I was.
Yeah, I can.
I was, I was pretty scared, too.
I'm telling them.
My parents.
When we get back, I'm gonna tell them.
Donna, you don't have to.
No.
I want to.
Just the the thought of losing you not having you near me You're gonna move in with me, okay? Okay.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Mahalo! - Hey, sit over here.
- Hey, guys.
We'll make room, I'll get a chair.
David, I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but, uh, you could stand to lose a few pounds.
Brandon! Does it still hurt? Only when I'm awake.
Oh, well, maybe you should try one of these fancy drinks with the umbrellas to help you ease your pain.
Uh, I thought Noah was going to be here.
I really wanted to thank him again.
He's probably got a hull to scrape or something.
Ah, there's Barnacle Bill right now.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
Noah, this is Kelly.
Kelly, Noah.
-Hi.
How're you doing? We were beginning to think you weren't gonna make it.
I had to wait for Keoni to get back from work.
Keoni, the group.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Steve, I want you to meet a friend of mine, Keoni Kamura.
Keoni, Steve.
Aloha.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I told her all about you.
She's loves blondes.
Oh, dude.
Valerie, I told you.
There is a God.
Care to join me for a drink? I'd love to.
So, what'll it be? So we're leaving tomorrow, bro.
You gotta keep in touch.
I'd better.
I'm coming with you guys.
I made reservations already.
- Really? You're taking that job? - Yeah.
Well, if you need a place to stay, - we have an extra bedroom.
- I'll probably be working down at the marina.
I don't think it's The marina? Well, my parents have a boat down there.
They hardly use it.
You could stay on it.
I mean, I don't want to impose.
Well, it's no imposition.
I'll call when we get upstairs.
Ladies and gentlemen, we would like for you to join us in wishing a very happy hauoli la hanau, that's Hawaiian for "happy birthday" to Ms.
Kelly Taylor.
Flight 29 from Honolulu is now arriving at Gate 93.
So my parents are thrilled that you're going to be staying on their boat.
And in fact, my dad said he'd like to pay you to do some maintenance on it.
Sounds great, thanks.
No problem.
So you guys all live together? No, no, Donna and I are staying - at the beach.
- And the rest of us are one big, happy family.
Isn't that right, Kel? If you say so, Val.
You never told me exactly what it is you do.
Well, you know, a little of this and a little of that.
I'm kind of in between careers right now.
Hey, Kel, we're, uh, we're over here.
- All right.
- I'll see you at home.
- Bye.
- See you, guys.
- Aloha.
- Aloha! You must be exhausted after your long two-day vacation.
It just means we'll need another one real soon.
Absolutely.
You know what I was thinking about on the plane? - What? - How much I love you.
And I can't wait to get you home.
Oh, I can't wait to be gotten.
Oh, man, are you kidding me? You know, why don't we just catch a ride with Steve and Valerie? - We'll deal with this tomorrow.
- No, no, no.
Come on, we'll change it right now.
- It'll take two seconds.
- Brandon, I'm tired.
I know you're tired.
Want me to teach you how to change a tire? No, not particularly.
But if there's anything I can do to help you, - you just let me know.
- Okay.
What was that? I don't know.
Brandon, don't.
What the hell you looking at, man? Nothing.
I got a flat tire, that's all.
No problem.
Come on, man, get in.
God, that was scary.
Yeah, what do you say we just get this tire changed and get out of here, huh? Kel, I got you.
I got you.
Okay.
Kelly, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, it's all right.
It's okay, it's all right.
Stay with me.
Stay with me, Kel.
Kelly, you gotta stay with me.
Kelly, Kelly, look at me.
Look at me, you gotta stay with me, Kelly.
Kelly! Kelly! Guys, call 911.
Call 911.
-Where's the phone? Where's the phone? Kel? Kel? Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Come on, stay with me.
Kel? Kel?
This was graduation, our last day of school.
And as happy as we were, we were also scared as hell.
After being together through eight long years of high school and college, we were all about to take a giant step into the great unknown called "life.
" Our goal after all these years was to try to stick together, but we all knew that wasn't going to be easy.
After losing her virginity with David, Donna confessed to her priest, but still hadn't told her mother which made David furious.
Making love, for Donna, was not exactly guilt-free.
Valerie was swindled out of every penny she had, and thought a change of hairstyle would change her luck.
It didn't.
After five different jobs in less than two months, Valerie discovered that was not her long suit.
With Clare gone to join her father in Paris, Steve had a hard time saying good-bye to college life, and got a job as the alumni advisor to his former CU fraternity KEG.
The salary for this honor? A dollar a year.
Now summer is over and Kelly and I are settling in to the realities of living together.
There is, we have both discovered, a little difference between loving someone and actually living with them.
Luckily for us, we're both so in touch with each other's feelings.
What? Nothing.
It's, uh it's lacey.
Well, you said I could make some changes in here.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
Then could you help me move the bureau to that wall over there? Why? I like it right there.
I better get that.
It might be the phone.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Mr.
Paulson.
How you doing? Yeah, Mr.
Paulson, look, I know I, I know.
I don't have all the experience necessary, but I'll work nights, I'll work weekends.
I'll do whatever it takes, man.
You want me to write obituaries? No one can write obits like I can.
Yeah, all right.
Well, if you'd keep my resume on file, I'd appreciate it.
Okay, thanks for calling.
The Times? Yep.
I'm sorry.
You know, it's just frustrating.
I don't have the experience necessary, but no one will give me a job to get the experience I need.
It's not like you haven't had other offers.
Yeah, I know.
But do you want to move to Bismarck or Elkhart or maybe Appleton, Wisconsin? No.
Me neither.
Brandon, what's this? Some old cards and stuff.
All from Tracy Gaylian? She liked to send a lot of cards.
Hmm, well, I guess her other favorite hobby was having her picture taken with you.
I didn't know you guys went to Vegas.
You know, Kel, if memory serves, I broke up with Tracy for you.
What's the problem here? No problem.
You know, Kelly, I did have a life before you just like you had a life before me.
Yeah, well, at least I had the decency to pack my old life in a box before I moved in.
Hey, Brandon.
Oh, wow, look what you've done with the place, Kel.
It's kind of like an early Betty Crocker kind of thing, huh? It's nice.
Well, Brandon, that's all you needed was a woman's touch, huh? What am I supposed to do? The lease extension is up on my house.
I have to move.
We've been over this a dozen times.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm such a bonehead.
I don't understand why you're making such a big deal about this.
Milk? Thanks.
Juice? Why are you being so difficult? I want you to move in here with me.
In separate rooms like we're roommates.
That's not really living together, Donna.
Where's the sweetener? It is to me.
We're gonna be together all the time.
But in separate rooms.
It's over there on the microwave.
You lived here before in your own room.
And that was okay with your mother.
Yes.
- But this isn't.
- David, I don't want to deal with her right now about us.
She's not gonna understand, and honestly, I don't want to upset her.
Why are you being so stubborn about this? Why are you? Donna, you're an adult.
You can make your own decisions.
You don't need your parents' permission.
I'm sorry, but either we're living together or we're not.
Which is it? Don't make me say not, please.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Boy, look at you.
Dressed for success, huh? So, what's up with this new job of yours? I told you.
It's customer relations specialist for Arturo Panini fragrances.
And just what is that? Well, I'm not exactly sure.
I mean, they haven't given me all the details yet, but Panini is a very upscale, prestigious line.
It sounds perfect for me.
It seems like I heard those same words about your last five summer jobs.
Yeah, well, coming from somebody who's only job has been sitting on his butt for the last two months reading the want ads, I don't know.
Listen, by the way, um, don't tell Brandon I told you this, but he didn't get the job at the Times.
He didn't? Oh! He wanted that.
I know, but don't say anything, okay? Shh.
- Morning.
- Yeah.
What? Um, sorry, it's gotta be a bummer, Bran, huh? I'm sorry.
Small house, thin walls.
I guess the only bright side is it's not every day that you get personally rejected by the senior editor of the Los Angeles Times.
That's what I love about you, Brandon, you always look on the bright side.
You're forgiving, you're understanding, you're quick to know when I'm being set up for something? Au contraire, mon frere.
What's this? That's my rent.
I know I've been behind the last couple months, so Steve, it's okay.
You pay me back when you get the money.
Uh, that may be a while.
You know ever since my dad cut me off, I've been kinda tapped.
I may actually have to crack open my savings account.
Savings account? It's only for emergencies.
Not that rent isn't an emergency.
Well, how much? Not enough to make you pant like that.
Sorry.
Would you mind getting rid of those? Oh, it's Martha Stewart coming down from homemaker heaven.
Don't you have a job to get fired from Val? It's not a job, it's a lifestyle.
See you later.
What's in the bag? About a hundred pounds of grief.
Steve, could you do me a favor this morning? Well, if I can manage to carve away some time from my incredible hectic schedule, perhaps.
Could you take Erin to her soccer game? I told my mom I would do it, but I forgot I promised Donna I'd go shopping with her.
Donna can't go shopping by herself? It's a girl thing.
Oh.
Like lace bedspreads.
Erin? Soccer? Yeah, I'll take her.
Thanks.
Will you do these dishes? Thanks.
Here.
Honey, take it.
It is your allowance.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
I just wish I didn't have to keep taking it from you.
Donna, you are not taking.
I am giving.
Now don't deprive me of one of my great joys in life.
If I can't take care of my own daughter Thank you.
So how's the leg treating you, Doc? Well, I won't be running the 440 anymore, but you know what? My putting has really improved.
Well you look terrific.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
All those years in school, all that hard work, I just never dreamed it'd be this hard to find a decent job.
Oh, my What is wrong with me? The leg comes back, and the memory Here it is.
This is a friend of a friend of your mother's, Vanessa Markley.
Your mother doesn't know very much about the job, but Vanessa's looking for a second assistant in some kind of styling- fashion-photo kind of thing.
Listen, give her a call.
The worst that can happen is that it's a lousy job.
Thank you, Daddy.
You're welcome.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Say, listen.
Uh, I don't mean to pry or anything, but this job business aside, is everything okay? Are things between you and David okay? Yeah.
Yeah, everything's fine.
Good.
Hey, babe.
You look great.
Thanks.
More resumes? Yeah.
What choice do I have? So, did you finish redecorating the bedroom yet? Nope.
I still have to wallpaper.
Wallpaper? Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know, I know, I know.
And you were right, it was time for me to get rid of my past.
So I'm-I'm throwing it all away.
The pictures, the postcards, the faxes, the videotapes.
All of it, gone.
Thank you.
I'm sorry I've been a bitch.
You weren't.
But if you were, I probably deserved it.
Hey, do you know what we need? Yeah, but I don't think we have time.
No.
Besides that.
We need a vacation.
What do you say? Ooh, yeah, when? Well, we'll go next week.
Just you and me.
I wish we would have thought of this before.
I have to start my work at the Foundation next week.
So, start a week later.
- No, I can't.
- Why not? Okay.
We'll figure something out.
Yeah.
Let's do something really crazy and romantic.
All right.
You handle the crazy.
I'll handle the romantic.
- All right.
- All right.
I'll be back by 4:00.
All right.
Say hi to Donna.
Dear Mrs.
Chavez Uh, hey.
Um, did you forget something? Yeah.
Obviously, so did you.
Pick 'em up, Erin.
Come on, Erin.
Run 'em down, run 'em down.
Good girl.
Ooh.
That's got to hurt.
Head fake, head fake.
Hey, ref, that was pushing.
How about a whistle? Come on.
A yellow card or something? What's the matter with you? You don't see these things? Pushing, interference.
Hey, don't worry about it.
What's your name? Zach.
Zach, you listen to me.
You're doing great out there.
You're playing with a lot of heart and that's what's important, but you can't let those other kids push you around like you do.
Didn't anyone ever tell you what to do if that happens? - No.
- No? Well, I'll tell you.
You take this elbow and you jam it in their ribs.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing? Take your hands off him.
Are you okay, Zachy? Are you even a parent here? What did I tell you about talking to strangers? - But he's not a stranger.
- No? Well, have you ever seen him before? No.
Then he's a stranger.
Not as strange as you are, lady.
Don't you think you're overreacting a little bit? Excuse me, Carly.
Reynolds, you're back in the game in two minutes.
Who's your child? I don't have a child.
I'm babysitting for Erin Taylor.
So, you're not a parent? No, not that I know of.
Then you don't know the first thing about parenting, do you? Well, maybe not the first thing, but I do recognize a kid being beaten up out on the field.
Oh, is that right? Yeah, that's right.
The other kids were using him as a tackling dummy out there.
I was just trying to teach him how to protect himself.
Yeah, well, no one asked for your help.
Zach asked for my help.
Every time he got tripped out on the field, he was asking for help.
Open your eyes, lady.
Stop being so over-protective and doting.
Maybe Zach's father should teach him how to defend himself.
- What did you say your name was? - Steve.
Steve Sanders.
Yeah, well, is it true, Mr.
Sanders, when you look up the word "jerk" in the dictionary, that it says "see 'Steve Sanders" '? Come on, Zach.
Zach doesn't have a father.
Ouch.
Come here, you.
Woo! Hello, Ms.
Markley? Hi.
This is Donna Martin.
Donna Martin, Dr.
Martin's daughter.
Right.
I'm calling about the second assistant stylist job.
What? I'm sorry.
It's just kind of noisy in here.
Yeah, the stylist job.
Right.
Well, okay, I, uh, I just graduated from CU.
My major was in fashion and marketing.
Really? Uh, yeah, that would be great.
Tonight? Okay, sure, absolutely.
Thank you.
- Yeah? - So? Huh? Donna put it together.
I like it.
It's cool.
What do you think? It, uh, looks great.
I think all the girls will like it.
It kind of gives the place, you know, a sort of you know? Up-Upscale look? Yeah, that's it.
Class.
You know? Oh, the plumber wanted me to tell you he needs to replace the sink in the little girls' room.
It'll be about 200 bucks.
Um, how much are those uniforms? About a $100.
But we'll each need at least two.
Great.
How did Val do it? I don't-l don't understand.
I've got bills coming out my ears, and a payroll that's killing me.
But business is good, isn't it? No, it sucks.
It's down almost 60%.
Wow.
None of us knew that.
Knew what? Nothing, nothing.
We're just, uh, just talking shop.
I better get back downstairs.
See you, 911315- - Hi.
- Hey.
So, guess what? I don't know.
What? I got a job interview.
Fashion stylist.
Get out of here.
That's great.
Well, it's just a second assistant's job.
You know getting coffee, stuff like that.
Donna, would you stop it? Come on, it's a start.
And it's the field you want.
You know what? You're not going to be a second assistant for long anyway.
Especially after they see what you can do.
Well, I don't have the job yet.
Come on, it's in the bag.
So, uh, why is all your stuff here? You're not considering living here in the office, are you? It's just until I find a new place.
Okay, you won't live in the apartment, what about on my parents' boat? You can stay there for a while and Donna, it-it's too far.
Besides, you know, I'm actually, uh, I'm saving a little money on rent staying here.
Well, you're not gonna stay here.
You're gonna come with me.
We'll have the apartment all to ourselves.
Look, we already talked about this, all right.
Not until you tell your mom.
Excuse me, sorry.
David, the plumber needs to see you.
Something about needing new drain pipes.
Tell him I'll be right there.
All you gotta do is tell your mom.
It's not that easy.
Not one but two unassisted goals.
That's outstanding.
Your ball control, your passing skills, you're really great, Erin.
But we still lost.
Well, the team lost, but you won.
You know why? Because you never gave up.
In fact, I think that kind of victory deserves something cold and creamy maybe with a little hot fudge on it, what do you say? - Twist my arm.
- Twist your arm? Twist your arm, if I twist your arm, you won't be able to play soccer.
But you don't need your arm to play soccer anyway.
That's the fun of soccer no arms, no hands.
Need a hand? No, thank you.
Hi, Steve.
Hey, Zach.
Are you sure you wouldn't like me to call the auto club for you? No, thank you, really, I can manage.
I see that.
You know, it sounds flooded.
Your fuel system's flooded.
So not only are you a child psychologist, you're an auto mechanic, too.
You're quite the Renaissance Man, aren't you? Well, you should see me dance.
I'd rather not.
I'm not trying to help you.
I'm trying to help Zach.
So if you lay off the starter motor for a second, push the gas pedal down all the way to the floor, all the way to the floor, count to three it might start.
Try it.
Lucky guess, huh? Yeah, well for your information, I only counted to two.
He's nice, Mom.
Put your seat belt on.
You know, I totally think you're doing the right thing holding off.
You don't have to jump right into it with David just because you two - Had sex? - Yeah.
I love him.
He loves me, so Not living together's not gonna change that.
And believe me, Donna, living with Brandon isn't exactly what I dreamed it would be.
Well, personally, I think you're being a little hard on him.
I mean, I still have these silly notes that a boy in fifth grade wrote to me.
Hidden in your lingerie drawer? No, packed away somewhere at my parents' house, but that's beside the point.
No, it's not, it is the point.
If he dumped Tracy the way he claims he did, then why is he still holding onto old pictures of her? Okay, truthfully, you don't have letters, pictures of old boyfriends? I don't know.
Maybe.
Somewhere.
Yeah, right, somewhere.
DYEâ? Now that is different.
We were special.
Would you like to try Arturo Panini's fragrance.
Val? Uh, what are you doing? Uh, nothing.
Um, it's just part of my executive training.
Um, well, what I meant to say was, uh It's not a job, it's a lifestyle, right? I swear, Kelly, if you tell anybody about this Valerie, why would I tell anybody that a good friend of mine sprays cheap perfume on passing strangers for a living? Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Come on, Donna.
I don't get it.
I just don't get it, man.
Why is she having so much trouble telling her parents about us living together? I mean, maybe I'm being stupid, but it, it's starting to make me feel like maybe she's ashamed of me or something.
I think maybe it's the other way around, bro.
What, what do you mean? Well, all right, this is just a stab in the dark, okay? For 22 years, Donna Martin has had a very strict Catholic upbringing, correct? Yep.
Just sleeping with you must fill her with guilt already.
Now you add on to that the guilt that her parents are gonna lay on her for living with you as well? I think maybe it's just too much for her to handle.
That's the way I see it.
Wait, wait, wait.
What am I supposed to do? What am I, just supposed to forget how I feel or something? No, no, just give her some space.
I mean, this thing with the two of you, it's gonna happen because it, it's what both of you want.
It's just, it's gotta happen at her pace, not yours.
Oh, I don't know.
I just, you know, I-l want a commitment.
I see this whole thing you and Kelly living together, and it looks great.
Oh, no, no, no, it's not as easy as it looks, my friend.
Get out of here.
Are you having trouble with, uh, Kelly? Brandon and Kelly fighting? I don't think so.
Kelly may disagree with you there, my friend.
Seriously? No, everything's okay.
I'm thinking about throwing her a surprise birthday party.
I figure that'll smooth everything over.
- What do you think? - Yeah? All in favor say "aye.
" - Aye.
- Aye.
Let the record show.
Thank you for doing this with me.
I don't think I could've done it alone.
It's okay.
You're doing the right thing, Donna.
You and David both had AIDS tests.
So this is just another precaution.
Then why am I so nervous? I mean, they're just tiny little pills.
I feel like I'm robbing a bank or something.
I guess I'm just a little confused.
I mean, first sex, now this.
It just goes against everything I ever learned.
What am I doing? You're protecting yourself and David.
You saw what I just went through.
You don't want to put yourself through that.
It isn't worth the risk or the pain.
I know.
You're right.
I just I never imagined that I'd be standing here buying birth control pills.
Donna?! Oh, my God.
Mom, hi.
Hi.
Hi, Kelly, dear.
How are you? Good, good.
And you? Uh, well, actually, I'm lucky to be alive.
The, uh, shoe sale at O'Meyers? Don't attempt it unless you're up on karate.
I tell you, some women are absolutely crazy.
So, Mom, what are you? Uh, you don't usually come here, do you? Dr.
Morgan's office is so disorganized.
They called your father's prescription in here instead of the store over by the house, so That's all right.
I was in the neighborhood.
No problem.
Oh, I understand you spoke - to Vanessa Markley.
- Mm-hmm.
That's great.
I hear nothing but wonderful things about her.
When are you gonna see her? Huh? Oh.
Uh Uh, later this afternoon.
Good.
Oh, uh, God.
I just remembered that I forgot to buy my aspirin.
Okay, here you are, young lady.
Your doctor prescribed three months worth.
What? Now, if you've never taken this brand of birth control pill before, I want to explain how the new dispenser works.
Birth control pills? Yeah.
They're mine.
My doctor thought that they would help regulate me.
Oh, they're-they're yours, Kelly.
Mm-hmm.
- Mr.
Cummings? - Yes? Call on line three for you.
Okay.
Oh, for a minute there, I thought, uh I'm sorry, Kelly.
I feel like I've just invaded your privacy.
L-I apologize.
- You needed some aspirin? - Sure did.
I'll pick up some for both of us.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
Oh, and thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Well, you are obviously very talented, Miss Martin.
Raw, to be sure.
Naive, to be expected.
Renderings immature, perhaps, but innately talented.
Thank you.
Is it hot out here, or is it me? I don't think so.
- Do you have any aspirin? - I think I do.
Oh, you wouldn't believe the day that I had today.
Roger quit.
My assistant just stormed out.
I've got seven major clients backed up, and this shoot is going to go to hell in a hand basket if Oh, thank you.
Are you sure it's not hot out here? No.
Actually, it's kind of cool.
Uh, Ms.
Markley, about the job.
I realize I don't have that much experience, but Second assistant is out.
Without Roger, I desperately need a first.
We're gonna be shooting with Fernando Caldero.
You do know Fernando's work? Oh, who doesn't? He's absolutely Temperamental, yes.
Demanding, of course.
Cantankerous, to a fault, but just absolutely brilliant in subtropical light.
Oh.
I really think I need to go to the ladies room.
I do hope that I've answered all your questions.
Uh, no.
What about the job? The job? Of course, the job.
What else have we been talking about the job? We can go over all the details You know, fringe benefits, salary in my studio tomorrow.
We shoot in Honolulu in three days.
Honolulu, as in Hawaii? Well, unless they have moved it someplace else.
We're talking about the Christopher Swimsuit Catalog.
It's always shot in Hawaii.
So, I have the job? That's what happens when you get hired, isn't it? I thought I was very clear.
I really have to go.
Thank you.
Yes.
In my world.
Nothing good.
Just get back with something to come true Okay, this place is dead.
Maybe I should close up.
No.
Don't worry, David.
The night is young.
The crowds will show.
Oh, I hope so.
This band is terrible.
Well, there is that, but, you know, people show up for other reasons, like the ambiance, the fine women, the cheap booze.
The waitresses.
Ooh, is that Marcy? Oh, yeah, those are the new uniforms Donna designed.
- Pretty neat, huh? - Neat? Did he say neat? Neat.
He said "neat.
" It's an adjective.
Hot.
The word is "hot.
" You'll have to excuse me, gentlemen.
Suddenly, the evening has taken a turn for the Steve Sanders among us.
Wow.
Let me push through the crowd so I can get a drink in this place.
Hey, guys.
Uh, Freddie, a white wine, please? Sorry.
No white wine.
What? L, uh I I messed up the order.
It wasn't delivered.
David, that's gonna cost you, like, 100 drinks tonight.
Thanks for reminding me, Val.
I'll see you, guys.
Uh, listen, by the way, Kelly wanted me to tell you that she's not gonna make it tonight.
She's probably macraméing some new furniture or something.
Sorry.
You know, while you're at it, you might want to take it easy on David.
He's having a hard enough time keeping things together without you headlining it for him.
You're right.
I guess I should go apologize.
I guess you should.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
I'm not allowed to date the customers.
But I'm not a customer.
I haven't paid for a drink in here since they opened.
I don't know.
I'll have to ask David.
Well, if that's all it takes, I can ask him for you myself.
Would you really do that for me? Sure.
I do for you, you do for me.
So, who's doing who? Yeah.
Uh, why don't we work on that one together? Dinner tomorrow night perhaps? David, I-I'm sorry.
I I was just joking.
By the looks of it downstairs, there's nothing really to joke about.
Club's doing okay.
David, it's me.
Remember, I used to own half this place? I mean, you got to be off at least 60 or 70%.
You're going to belly-up in a couple weeks.
You're working me for something, Val.
What is it? No.
This is for you, okay? Just hear me out.
I have a business proposition, okay? Let me buy back in.
We'll go 50-50, and you can take it until I can pay you back.
David, you can't lose.
You know I can bring the After Dark back up to speed.
Come on.
We were great together.
You handle the music, I handle the business.
I can't.
I can't I can't jeopardize the relationship I have with Donna over business.
I can handle Donna.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
Brandon, guess what happened to me? Whoa.
Cheer down, girl.
I can't.
I've got to find David.
Where is he? Oh, David-David is, uh David was here.
He was here, he was, but then there was, uh, uh There was another tunnel collapse because of the subway thing that they're building Upstairs? Thanks.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Guess what.
Guess what.
Uh, Uh you won the lottery.
Oh, no, no, no.
Better.
I got a job.
I got a real job.
Well, that's an accomplishment.
- Congratulations.
- That's great.
Okay, ask me where.
I don't know.
Well, take a wild guess.
- Borneo? - Burma.
- Why'd you say that? - I don't know.
I panicked.
Ah, Hawaii.
The job is in Hawaii, and it starts on Thursday.
Hawaii that's um - A long commute.
- It's a far away.
Whoa.
Hawaii? You're-You're going there just like that? Yes.
Isn't that great? No.
It's It's not a permanent job.
It's just for a photo shoot.
I'm an assistant to Vanessa Markley.
And guess who's shooting it? Fernando Caldero.
The Fernando Caldero.
The whole thing is gonna be less than a week.
And guess what? I want you to come with me.
L-I can't.
I can't afford to.
See, you don't have to pay for a thing.
I'll take my first class ticket.
I'll change it in for two coach seats.
Well, who's going to watch the club if you go, David? No one.
You know, I can I can close this place down for a week.
I mean, business isn't gonna pick up until the kids are back in school.
Wait a second.
Why don't we all go? Yes! None of us took a vacation after graduation.
I I-I think we owe ourselves this.
The man has a point.
You don't have to ask me twice.
I'm already there.
Who knows when we're gonna be able to afford a vacation like this again? You can't afford it now.
Speak for yourself.
I have an emergency fund stashed away and what bigger emergency is there than a Hawaiian vacation? Oh, this is so great.
We're all going to Hawaii.
As long as I can talk Kelly into starting her new job a week later.
Well, you guys can count me out.
I have too much to do here.
Aloha! She'll be coming around the mountain.
She'll be coming around the mountain.
She'll be coming around the mountain.
When she comes Honey, don't worry.
Your secret's safe with me, okay? Okay, well then, why don't you join me? Actually, I will.
But not here.
In Hawaii.
Oh, boy, here it comes.
You care to explain that? Actually, it's very simple.
Just hear me out, okay? You're gonna loan me money from your emergency savings account and I'll pay you back, double the interest when I get a new job.
All right, I'll tell you what the deal's gonna be.
Not a penny of interest, but we share the same room and the same bed.
What?! What do you mean, "what"? It's not like it hasn't happened before, you know.
After the graduation party and all.
Yeah, Steve, I know what happened, okay? And not to cripple your fragile male ego or anything, but that was an accident, an absolute fluke.
An unfortunate lack of good judgment on both our parts.
Mm-hmm, well, maybe the first time.
But what about the second time it happened that night? Okay, okay, listen to me.
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
No interest, one room, two beds.
Deal.
Now, either step in or step out.
I guess it's true what they say about cold showers, huh? Yes, it raises the voice.
Yo-ho! Okay.
Which one? I don't know, Kel, I'm not sure.
Why don't you just tell the truth, Brandon? You don't like anything I'm doing in here.
No, no, no, it's not that.
It's just, um Neither one of those is really me.
Well, what is you? I don't know.
Maybe I'm just not a wallpaper kind of guy, huh? I thought the whole point of me doing this was to make this room ours.
You just want to keep it yours.
That's not true.
All right, Kel The one on the left.
It'll be fine.
Fine.
Oh, that's great.
Why don't you try to hold back your enthusiasm, Brandon? All right, Kel, why don't we talk about this instead of talking around it, okay? This isn't about the wallpaper.
This is about the photos and the cards, isn't it? I can't win this one.
If I say yes, I'm a bitch, if I say no, I'm a liar.
This isn't about winning or losing.
This is about how you and I feel about each other at this point in time.
The past is over.
Over but not forgotten.
Hey, uh, Brandon, I just wanted to let you know that I've changed my mind and I'm going to Hawaii.
I hope you can make it, Kel.
It just wouldn't be the same without you.
There's no way I can go, Brandon.
Did you call the Foundation and ask them if you could start work late? I can't, it's totally unprofessional.
All right, fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either.
The whole point is to take a vacation together.
You know what? I think what we need is a vacation from each other.
So, what I said was, "I don't know if this blue is me" and she said, "Well, if it's not you" then who is it?" What do you think? I think you need a blue that's more you.
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
You know, Steve, I think you really kind of understand me.
A lot of guys don't, but they say they do because they want other things.
But I think you really do, don't you? Yeah Whatever you say.
Oh, the service here stinks.
Do you know what you want? Hmm, they got burgers here? I don't usually eat too much meat but once in a while you just gotta have a burger to satisfy a craving.
You ever get that? You know, a craving? All the time.
Uh, sorry for the wait.
We're swamped today and two girls didn't show.
That's really not our problem now, is it? Again I'm I'm really sorry.
Uh, can I start you guys off with a Carly? As if my day wasn't bad enough.
What are you doing here? Well, I don't know how to break this to you, but some of us actually have to work for a living.
Steve, is she being rude? No, she's just How's Zach? Zach's fine.
Look, um, I'm really busy.
Can I get you guys a drink or what? See, I told you.
She is being rude.
My boyfriend thinks you're really obnoxious, too.
- Boyfriend? - Boyfriend? Miss, can we have our drinks, please? Before somebody dehydrates here? I hate to correct you but rude and obnoxious would actually be me telling you that you're probably one of the dumbest people walking the face of the earth.
Carly! Marcy"- Miss, please, we're dying here.
One second, please.
Steve, are you just going to let her talk to me that way? No.
Carly, apologize to her.
Excuse me, is there a problem here? - Yes.
- No.
Carly? Your waitress called me stupid.
I did not.
- I called you dumb.
- What? Now that was dumb.
All right, that's it, you're out of here.
Right now, you're fired.
I'm sorry, sir, I'll get you taken care of.
I think she likes me.
Martini's shaken now.
Yeah.
You know, it's not too late to change your mind.
I can't.
I start my work at the Foundation next week.
I just think it'll be best for both of us if I don't go.
Yeah, thanks a lot for your help, Steve.
Who told you to pack your whole closet? You better hurry, we're going to miss the plane.
Steve, I'm going to, uh, I'm going to go in my own car.
But I thought we were going in one car? We were.
You're not bailing out on me, are you? What's going on? Nothing.
Well, hurry up, we're gonna be late.
Aloha, we'll send a postcard.
Steve, I'm not bailing out on you.
Go to the airport, if I'm not there, just get on the plane.
Okay.
See ya, Kel.
You better go.
Just just tell me that you don't want me to go.
I don't.
But I do.
Kel, I haven't missed your birthday in seven years.
Why don't, why don't you just come with me? It'll be fun, come on.
Brandon, it's just a birthday.
We can celebrate it when you get back.
You better go or you're going to miss your flight.
I don't care about the flight.
Just go.
Have a good time, okay? You know I love you.
And I love you.
Aloha, welcome to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel.
And aloha to you, my man.
This place is outstanding.
The natural beauty as well as the surgically enhanced.
Check it out.
Yeah, I'm looking.
And while you're at it, look at Vanessa.
Donna's boss is in real bad shape.
I better go give 'em a hand.
Oh, poor kid.
Has the worst case of flu in recorded history.
I think she used every barf bag on the plane.
Thanks for the graphic reminder.
Vanessa, do you want a wheelchair or something? Just kill me.
Somebody put a bullet in my head.
Can I get you anything else? A bed and I think a bucket.
You know, she shouldn't have gotten on that plane.
Maybe it's just a 24-hour virus.
She could be better in the morning.
And if she's not? She'll just have to postpone the photo shoot.
It won't affect my tan one bit.
Guys, she can't do that.
What do you say we check in? Scope out our room, you little nasty, fun tart.
Will there be anything else, sir? No, that's it.
Here you go, man.
Oh, mahalo.
And enjoy your stay in Waikiki.
Thanks.
All right, fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either.
The whole point is to take a vacation together.
I think what we need is a vacation from each other.
This is about how you and I feel about each other at this point in time.
The past is over.
Thanks a lot.
Donna, would you relax? Come on, I'm sure Vanessa's gonna be fine by tomorrow.
And if she's not? Well, then like my grandfather used to say, we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it.
Come on.
Look at this.
We're in paradise together me and you.
We're happy, we're healthy, we're with our best friends and no matter what, we'll always have each other.
Always? Yeah.
Look I'm sorry.
I'm I'm sorry for pressuring you about this whole living together thing, you know.
It wasn't fair.
I know you have a lot to deal with right now, especially with your mom.
I just wanted to know that I'm not going anywhere.
So as far as me moving in, I want you to wait until you're absolutely ready.
That means everything to me.
Thank you.
I knew there was a reason I loved you.
Oh, yes.
This bed'll be just fine, this whole room is fine.
And where exactly do you think you're sleeping? Oh, I was thinking about the left side.
Can you see if there's a room with two beds, please? I'll check with the assistant manager, ma'am.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Hey, Val, what's the big difference? One bed or two beds, it's all the same.
Well, if you don't mind the sleeping arrangements Moi? Then I think you'll be very happy on the sofa.
Does it take quarters? You have to do it.
Look, I-l don't know the first thing about You'll learn.
Quickly, I hope.
Ms.
Markley, isn't there someone else that we can call? Just a mortician.
Tell him I'm almost ready.
Gallows humor.
Accurate, possibly.
- Ms.
Markley - Donna, you're a very talented very capable, very smart young woman.
If I didn't think that you could handle it, I would not have called Fernando and told him that you're handling everything.
Oh, my God.
You know what you're saying is right.
She can handle this.
- David! - Donna, come on.
Think about it, how hard can it be? We're all here with you, we can help you.
Smart boy.
Just one more thing.
Mm-hmm.
Whatever you do, don't piss off Fernando.
Oh, man.
Look at that pair.
Ah, you've seen one, you've seen 'em all, Steve.
I'm talking about the women.
They're scorchers.
Is that all you ever think about? No.
Sometimes I think about food.
Maybe you ought to think about putting on some sunscreen there, my brother.
- No, I'm cool.
- Really? You look a little pink around the edges to me.
Does that hurt? Uh-huh.
They call that a healthy glow.
Is that what they're calling it these days? Oh, so many women, so little self-restraint.
You know what? Time to take the plunge.
I'll catch you guys later.
Bye.
Hey.
-Hi.
-Hey.
What'll it be folks? Uh, I don't know, something cold, fruity? Tropical smoothies? Make it two.
Thanks.
You know, it's too bad Kelly isn't here.
Is there a reason you felt like sticking that knife in me right now? What, I think she'd really like it.
Val, I thought you two buried the hatchet? Why are you still at each other's throats? That's ridiculous.
We're not.
Brandon, despite how it looks we're actually really good friends.
Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
It's me okay, Brandon, remember me? You can quit with the dog and pony show.
I just need you to get off her back, okay? I mean it's hard enough for all of us to adjust to living together without you fanning the flames.
Look, you may not believe this, and you have every right not to, but I'm just doing it, because I-l want to protect you.
Protect me? From what? From who? - From you.
- From me? Yeah.
I mean, I know you better than anybody.
Even yourself.
I just don't want you to get hurt, Brandon.
I mean, here you are on the most beautiful beach in the whole entire world and you feel like crap.
I hate that.
Val, maybe your heart's in the right place and if it is, then I appreciate it.
But the rest of this stuff with Kelly has gotta stop.
You understand? Yeah.
Well, well, this is turning quite into the amateur hour, isn't it.
I mean the only reason that I took this gig was to work with Vanessa.
So what am I gonna do now? Uh, you could give her a chance, that's what you could do.
She just might surprise you.
I just love surprises.
Uh, Mr.
Caldero, uh, we've prepped every detail in LA.
I have all of Vanessa's layouts and notes, I booked all the locations, checked the props, double-checked the modeling agencies, catalogued the swimsuits.
I have everything Vanessa has.
Oh, really? You got her eye? Because this is what this is about, Miss Martin.
It's about the eye.
The art.
The look.
We're not taking snapshots here, everything has to fit.
The way the hair falls, the color of the sand, the ripple of the shore, can you understand that? Of course I can.
The last thing I need is a poser.
Hey, wait a second, she's not a poser.
There's a reason why she graduated first in her design class.
Oh, that's gonna help me sleep really well tonight.
Mr.
Caldero, look, I'm not pretending to be Vanessa Markley, I'm Donna Martin, but no one takes more pride in their work than I do.
I know I can do a great job.
I just need you to give me the chance to prove it.
Okay, Miss Martin, 7:00 AM, has to be ready.
And please no screwups.
There won't be.
Mr.
Caldero, thank you.
Don't thank me yet.
Please close the door as you leave.
Okay.
Donna, I don't know how you did it, but that was incredible.
The way you handled him when he was coming There's no way I can pull this off.
No way.
I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do.
This is gonna be a disaster, a complete, total disaster.
Donna, it'll be okay, come on.
Okay, girls, work now.
Smile, smile.
Lot of energy, girls, a lot of energy.
Watch your chin, watch your chin.
Move the waist.
Turn to the right.
Right.
No, more to the left now.
Your left, smile.
Lots of energy.
Let's go now, lose the standards, bring in the new models, bring in the tikis.
Let's go while I've still got some light.
- Come on.
- Yeah.
What is it that you don't understand? -Huh? Is it my English? Uh, which do you want first? I want you to bring the tiki gods, set them right over there.
And, Martin baby, please, anticipate! Anticipate! Right.
Models, let's go.
Get the tikis! Hurry, please.
God, am I dead or am I dreaming? - You're neither, my friend.
- Those aren't real.
- Oh, yes.
Mm-hmm.
- Nah, nah.
- Real chest.
- It's the only way.
- Uh, excuse me.
- Shh.
How am I supposed to move this? You pick it up like that, all right? And then you drag it out.
- Can you do it? - Uh, he-he can do it.
- Drag it out.
- It's-it's foam, - I-| didn't know it was foam.
- Yes.
David, is there anything we can do to help you, man? Shoot me, please.
Let's move it, Martin, while I still got some light! Martin, get over here! - Right.
Yeah? - Donna, Donna, Donna, stay with it, baby, you're doing a great job.
Oh, you had to say that, thanks.
Martin, now! You know, Steve, you might want to think about putting a shirt on, you're getting awful red, buddy.
- Nah, it's just a base.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, you guys see that guy on the boat? Yeah, so? He's just a prop.
He's totally hot.
If you say so.
Okay, you guys, can you please help me with the tikis? - Yeah.
- Yeah, sure.
I just did my nails, sorry.
Thanks.
Booga, booga, booga.
Put the tiki, the big one further back.
Put the big tiki in the back! And will someone please get some shade on those girls? Their faces, their makeup is gonna melt.
I'll get it.

Oh, she's just scared.
Val, can I get a towel? Oh, thanks.
A good one.
Cool.
Come on, bud.
You idiot! You're incredibly stupid! You are worthless! Mr.
Caldero, I can explain.
I'm sorry, and I'll-I'll Please shut up, Miss Martin.
You ruined the whole photo shoot.
You're stupid! Hey! Hey, mellow out.
Aren't you being a little hard on these guys? Who asked for your opinion, jackass? Look, being an overrated, under-talented photographer does not give you the right to abuse anyone, including me.
Get out of my face! I think you'd better get out of here before you get hurt, man.
Oh, yeah? Who's gonna do it? Is it gonna be you? Huh? Not my eye! You're gonna hear from my lawyers, you hear me? And you, Martin You're finished! My life's over.
No, Donna.
It's okay.
Look, I'm sorry, guys.
I didn't mean to screw things up for you.
Hey, hey, hey, man, uh, he-he had it coming.
Thanks a lot.
- I'm David Silver.
- Noah Hunter.
This is Donna Martin, Valerie Malone.
Hey.
Thanks.
Brandon Walsh and Steve Sanders.
Hey, thanks for your help out there, man.
I wasn't doing much else anyway.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice meeting you.
Hey, man, you got to put a shirt on.
The sun's doing a number on you.
Yeah.
I'm feeling a little toasty.
Aah! Hey, can we buy you a beer later? Sure.
Where you guys staying? Oh, the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
All right.
I'll catch you later.
Don, you okay? Oh, no, uh-uh.
Oh, lobster boy? Maybe his last one was Delvecchio.
Because I don't know.
He came in with that right hand.
It was a pretty good one Little eh.
- Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
- Right there.
Brandon? Tracy.
- Hi.
- Tracy, how you doing? Wow.
What are you doing here? I could ask you the same question.
- Hey, Steve.
- Tracy.
- Val.
- Hi.
How are you? What a surprise.
Is the whole gang here? This is possibly the worst day of my entire life.
Donna, come on.
None of it was your fault.
It was all my fault.
What was I thinking that I could actually pull this off? I could actually fake it with Fernando Caldero.
What was I thinking? Donna, come on.
The guy was a jerk.
I'm the jerk.
God, I'm so embarrassed.
What am I supposed to tell Vanessa? That she lost one of her biggest clients and best photographers 'cause she hired a complete idiot? Donna, come on.
David Please, I just I just want to be alone, okay? Trace.
It's so good to see you.
- Yeah.
You, too.
- Where's Kelly? Ah, she stayed home.
She couldn't make the trip.
- Oh, that's too bad.
- Yeah.
Well, come here.
I want you to meet Eric.
All right.
Hey, Eric.
Eric Andersen, Brandon Walsh.
Brandon, it's nice to meet you.
Yeah, good to meet you, too, man.
- How's it going? - Excellent.
Good.
Eric's my fiancé.
Fiancé? - You don't say? - Yeah.
That's great.
Congratulations.
We're getting married next month.
He's going to grad school at U.
H.
, so we're going to be living here.
Fantastic.
That's fantastic.
Well, you got yourself a great girl here.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I have a few more phone calls to make.
Why don't you two stay here and, uh, catch up? -Okay.
Oh, hey, listen, we're, uh going to Waimea Falls tomorrow.
Maybe you and your friends might want to, uh, join us.
Oh, yes, you have to.
It's so beautiful.
Yeah, sure.
It sounds great.
Excellent.
It was good meeting you.
- You, too.
- Bye.
- We'll see you later.
- Isn't he great? I can't believe you're getting married.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Ah, I hope we didn't interrupt.
- No.
- No.
No, not at all.
- Val.
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hey.
- Hi.
God, when are we going to catch up? Oh, how about now? Yeah, uh, pie-sunset sightseeing? Well, I would love to, but I can't right now.
But we're still on for tomorrow, right? Absolutely.
- I'll call you, okay? - Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- She looks great.
- Copy that.
Of course, she's no Kelly.
Sorry.
Donna? Vanessa, uh, what are you doing out of bed? Here, come-come in and sit down.
Your young man told me all about it.
He did? Presumptuous of him, of course.
Impulsive, without question.
And necessary? Absolutely.
Does my head look big to you? It feels like it weighs 300 pounds.
Vanessa, I, um I don't know how to begin apologizing.
No.
I came to apologize to you.
I am so sorry, Donna.
It was completely unfair of me to put you in that position.
What happened on the beach this morning was entirely my fault.
Not yours by any means.
And I take full responsibility for it and for the awful embarrassment I must have caused you.
I truly hope that you can forgive me.
I don't know what to say.
Thank you would be good.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ugh! This is so lame.
What? Not what.
Who.
Us.
We're pathetic.
What are you talking about? I mean, here we are in the most beautiful, romantic place in the world, and we're with each other.
So? Are we missing something here? Yes we're missing something.
- Kelly? - Oh, thanks, Val.
You know I didn't mean it like that, Brandon.
Uh-huh, right.
You know, I don't have a clue what you're talking about, woman.
Okay, let me sum it up for you in one word Clare.
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.
I mean, look at me.
I'm young, beautiful, intelligent, and I'm here alone with you guys.
Now, why is that? Just lucky, I guess.
There's Noah.
Let's go buy him that beer that we owe him.
No, no, no, guys.
Uhuh.
- What? - Bluntly? Get lost.
What? Steve, I think Miss Malone wants to pay him a private social call, - if you know what I'm saying.
- Ah.
That's why I love you.
Thank you.
Shall I wait up for you, my sweet? Not if I get lucky.
Play safe.
So, did you get the number of the girl at the airport who gave you the lei? - No.
- Don't you feel cheap and used? - Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, right, it's you.
Valerie Malone.
L-I met you at the photo shoot on the beach? Yeah, that's it.
What's up? Nothing.
Uh, may I? Yeah, just take your shoes off.
Okay.
I think you missed a spot over there.
Well, I'll keep doing it till I get it right.
Yeah, practice makes perfect.
Those kind of come-en's work in Beverly Hills? Usually.
They work here, too.
So, how did you know I was from Beverly Hills? - That obvious, huh? - Oh.
That and the way you let your friends get all beat up at the photo thing.
You just sat on your butt and didn't swing into action till the whole thing was over.
Did someone send over a dossier on me? They didn't have to.
It's written all over your face.
Which, as you already know, is incredibly beautiful.
So does that kind of line work in Hawaii? Usually.
Wine or beer? Wine.
Come on, I got some below deck.
Hmm.
Oh, I love your boat.
Oh, it's not mine.
I just sailed over for some rich guy.
Well, do you have a boat? Not like this one.
Mike Tyson on her ear, man.
She had a hell of a swing for a little girl.
Well, maybe if you hadn't grabbed her.
I I did not grab her.
I caught her from falling.
Well, maybe if you hadn't knocked her off her barstool.
I didn't knock her, I I nudged her.
- Nudged her by grabbing her - Hey! I didn't grab anything, and who's side are you on? You know, you might want to put some ice on that before it swells.
Room service? Yeah, order some more beer.
You sure you want more beer? I'm still standing, right? Yeah, but you're listing.
Which way? - Left.
- Left.
Two more ought to do it then.
Beer it is.
Hey, Brandon, you know what really fries my eggs? No.
You.
Me.
Yeah, we're-we're here in Hawaii and I-l feel like I'm alone.
Down at the bar, I felt like I was drinking all by myself.
When-when are you gonna loosen up? We're in Hawaii.
We're gonna go home in a few days.
Yeah, we're going home, Steve.
But home to what? Do you have a job to go home to? When you put it that way, no.
Do any of us? You're still bummed about the Times.
The Times, the Chronicle, the Herald Tribune, the Union.
It wasn't supposed to be like this, man.
You're supposed to get out of college and get a job, and just go on with your life.
Yeah, where's that written? School, job, marriage, kids, mortgage.
Maybe that's your plan, but it's not mine.
I'm gonna explore my options, see what life holds for me.
You know what your trouble is? You make too many plans.
It's like setting yourself up for a disappointment.
You need to step back.
See what comes to you.
Uh-huh.
The huntress home from the hunt.
So, darling, did you bag the big one? Would you put a cork in it? Oh, that's kinky.
No luck, huh? That's not it at all.
Just that he had plans he couldn't get out of.
He's coming with us tomorrow.
That's great.
- You okay? - Mmm.
My friend here is waxing philosophical.
Not exactly the best quality - in a drinking buddy.
- You want to talk about it? No.
Why don't you guys get some sleep? I'll see you tomorrow.
That's what we should do.
An awfully small bed for such big pillows.
Brandon, will you do me a favor, please? Take Romeo with you, huh? Feel like doing charity work tonight? Why? 'Cause I'm in need of a little charity.
You're so pathetic.
I'm sorry Eric couldn't make it.
Oh, me, too.
They called him in for some last minute orientation.
Mmhmm.
Did you tell Noah what time we were leaving? I'm not worried, he'll be here.
Hey, right, there he is.
Room for one more? - Always.
Hey.
- Yeah, jump in man.
Glad you could make it.
Watch your heads, ladies.
Mahalo, Captain.
Cool, let's get in it.
Going for it.
Whoo-hoo! Donna, I appreciate you calling, but I think you're forgetting Brandon broke up with Tracy, not the other way around.
It sure didn't look that way to me.
They're just friends.
That's what friends do They hang out, they have fun.
I hope you're right, Kel.
No, Donna, I trust Brandon.
I trust him completely.
Uh, Kel, David just got done with his shower.
Yeah, I don't want him to know that I called you so I should go.
- Okay.
- All right.
I'll see you in a couple of clays.
- Okay.
- Bye.
I tried to warn you, amigo.
The sun out here is a lot different than it is back home.
Tell that to my back.
Ah, don't worry about it.
David and Noah will be back soon with some stuff the locals use.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be dead by then.
Just relax.
It's gonna take a few minutes to work.
What is that stuff? Uh, kukui nut oil and aloe vera.
All right, that should do it.
Thanks, Noah.
You know you should put some more on him in a couple hours.
- Me? - Well, yeah.
- Aren't you and him, uh? - Me and him? Are you kidding? I don't think so.
I love you, too, Val.
Uh, Noah Hey, listen, um, you know I think he's gonna probably be useless tonight.
Do you want to get something to eat? Maybe show me a little bit of the island? I'd love to, but I can't.
L-I've got stuff to do.
Oh, well, that's too bad.
'Cause, you know, I'm leaving in a couple of days.
I'll tell you what, why don't I take you and your friends tomorrow to see places on this island that no one has ever seen.
Oh, that'd be great.
Um, you know I think my friends are busy tomorrow, but I would love to see the island.
All right, you're on.
I hope so.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, the ancient Hawaiians used these valleys for their fertility rituals.
Well, I can see why.
Uh, pardon the cliché, but, uh, do you come here often? It's been a long time.
Not since Since what? Uh, not since the last time.
Come on down here, I want to show you something.
What about them? -Don't worry about them.
They'll be okay.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Oh, wow.
You know I think I've seen the most beautiful place on the island, and then you show me a better one.
Yeah, it is, isn't it? Oh, it's incredibly romantic.
I can't believe I have to leave in two days.
You'll be back.
Besides I'm planning a trip to LA.
- Really? - I got a job offer prepping a 50-footer to Tahiti.
Well, if you need a place to stay Thanks.
I'll find something.
What? What is it? It's nothing.
In fact everything is just right.
No, I just You know you're starting to give me a complex.
In spite of myself, I'm really attracted to you.
Then, uh, what's the problem? There's no problem.
I just can't make love to a woman I hardly know.
It's a thing I have.
L-I can't help it.
Hey, it's not you, it's me, okay? No really, Brandon, you dumping me is the best thing - that could have ever happened.
- Come on, Trace, don't put it that way.
You make it sound so cruel.
Well, to tell you the truth, at the time, I thought it was.
It's okay.
I told him everything.
Yeah.
Is this, uh, is this where I thank you? Thank me for what? For letting Tracy go to me.
You know how funny life is? I mean, it wasn't until I met Eric, that I finally understood what you felt for Kelly.
And then I realized that it was the best feeling that you could possibly have.
You're very lucky to have her, Brandon.
Just like you guys are lucky to have each other.
Get out of here.
No, no, no, this one's on me.
Oh, thanks.
Hey.
Well, well.
Isn't this a pretty picture.
Kel? What are you doing here? Maybe I should ask you the same thing.
I can't believe you're here.
Hmm, I bet you can't.
Wait, let me guess.
Valerie call? No.
Donna.
- Donna? - Mm-hmm.
Kelly, let me explain Explain what? Well, for starters, this is Eric Andersen.
Tracy's fiancé.
Fiancé? - Fiancé.
- Hi.
Kelly, is it? Nice to meet you.
I am so embarrassed.
You should be.
Can we buy you guys a mai tai? Come on.
I know it sounds like such a cliché, but why does love make such fools of us? When you figure that one out, I think you'll solve the world's problems, baby.
Mmm.
Hmm.
- Her fiancé.
- Oh, yes.
God, I was so embarrassed.
I feel like such a jerk.
I don't think women can be jerks.
I think that's-that's a right reserved for us men.
You know before you got here, I had a lot of, uh, time to think.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Think about what? Do you really want to know? Yeah.
Wallpaper.
I think I liked the one on the right better, - didn't you? - Yeah.
- Yeah, you did.
- Yeah.
- It was much nicer.
- Mm-hmm.
What are all those viny things? - See 'em all over the place.
- They're banyan vines.
Some are about a hundred years old.
See, they grow down from the branches and actually plant themselves in the ground.
Kind of like extra tree trunks.
Well, it's too bad Kelly didn't come.
She wanted to take Tracy to breakfast to apologize.
Can't say I blame her.
Where's he taking us? To the second most beautiful place on the island.
God, you should have seen the first.
Okay, so tell me that I'm crazy.
- You're crazy.
- Thank you.
Noah? Noah? Well, look at him! I mean, he's-he's cute, and sexy and funny and, oh, God, look at that butt.
The whole thing makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, well, you know, what he does for a living? -Nope.
He fixes boats.
I mean, he sails them for rich owners.
Now why couldn't he be a rich owner? I mean, he's as broke as - as I am.
- Valerie, there's nothing wrong with not having money.
Well, there's nothing great about it, either.
Brandon, I can't.
I mean, at this point in my life, I can't get involved with anybody without a substantial bank account.
What's wrong with me? Watch yourselves over here.
It gets pretty dense and dangerous.
Man, this rain forest is incredible.
Ugh, enough of these vines.
- Where's this place already? - Relax, Val, it can't be that much further.
David, you can't move back in with your dad.
-Ow.
You're gonna hate it.
-Donna, what am I supposed to do? Huh? Come on, I told you I'm not gonna pressure you anymore, and I'm not, but I've got to live somewhere and at least with my parents the rent's cheap.
Oh, man.
Check out these banyan vines.
These have gotta be at least a hundred feet long.
Are you trying to change the subject on me? No.
Oh, great.
What's wrong? Oh, my shoelace is untied.
Oh, great.
Do me a favor, go, uh, go stop everyone, all right? Tell 'em I'll be right with you guys.
Okay, hurry up.
Oh, great.
Oh! I'm gonna go back and see what's keeping him.
No.
We'll all go back.
Go.
Where did you guys STOP? A little further up here.
Here, we stopped right here by this rock.
Well, maybe he went back to the car.
For a shoelace, Steve? David! David! Why would he go back? What if something happened to him? David! What? You see something? No, no, it's nothing.
Um Steve, take Val and Donna Take 'em back to the car.
If David's not there, call the HPD, and tell 'em there's a hiker missing.
Yeah.
Come on.
Careful.
Let's do it.
Uh, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful, man.
Be careful, it's slippery.
Thanks, partner.
You got it.
There he is.
David.
David? David? Take it easy, take it easy.
L got you.
I got you.
I got you.
Take it easy.
Where are you hurt? - Everywhere, everywhere.
- Where are you hurt? Any sharp pains? - Nah.
No.
- Your neck? Your back, okay? No, it's okay, it's fine.
It's fine.
I don't think we should move him.
We have to, it's a tidal stream.
The tide's coming in.
Can you walk, bro? - I don't know.
- Want to try? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Ow! Ow! Ow! My ankle! I don't know how long it's gonna take them to find us back here.
You up for it? Come on, David.
Here we go.
Ow! Oh, easy.
Here we go.
Hey, wait.
Guys, guys, guys, here they are.
David! Hey! Hey, grab a leg, buddy.
- Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
- David, are you okay? Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
- You're all cut up.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
Thanks, man.
Thank you for saving my butt back there.
You got it.
Let's go.
Wow.
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.
Well You can't imagine how scared I was.
Yeah, I can.
I was, I was pretty scared, too.
I'm telling them.
My parents.
When we get back, I'm gonna tell them.
Donna, you don't have to.
No.
I want to.
Just the the thought of losing you not having you near me You're gonna move in with me, okay? Okay.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Mahalo! - Hey, sit over here.
- Hey, guys.
We'll make room, I'll get a chair.
David, I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but, uh, you could stand to lose a few pounds.
Brandon! Does it still hurt? Only when I'm awake.
Oh, well, maybe you should try one of these fancy drinks with the umbrellas to help you ease your pain.
Uh, I thought Noah was going to be here.
I really wanted to thank him again.
He's probably got a hull to scrape or something.
Ah, there's Barnacle Bill right now.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
Noah, this is Kelly.
Kelly, Noah.
-Hi.
How're you doing? We were beginning to think you weren't gonna make it.
I had to wait for Keoni to get back from work.
Keoni, the group.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Steve, I want you to meet a friend of mine, Keoni Kamura.
Keoni, Steve.
Aloha.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I told her all about you.
She's loves blondes.
Oh, dude.
Valerie, I told you.
There is a God.
Care to join me for a drink? I'd love to.
So, what'll it be? So we're leaving tomorrow, bro.
You gotta keep in touch.
I'd better.
I'm coming with you guys.
I made reservations already.
- Really? You're taking that job? - Yeah.
Well, if you need a place to stay, - we have an extra bedroom.
- I'll probably be working down at the marina.
I don't think it's The marina? Well, my parents have a boat down there.
They hardly use it.
You could stay on it.
I mean, I don't want to impose.
Well, it's no imposition.
I'll call when we get upstairs.
Ladies and gentlemen, we would like for you to join us in wishing a very happy hauoli la hanau, that's Hawaiian for "happy birthday" to Ms.
Kelly Taylor.
Flight 29 from Honolulu is now arriving at Gate 93.
So my parents are thrilled that you're going to be staying on their boat.
And in fact, my dad said he'd like to pay you to do some maintenance on it.
Sounds great, thanks.
No problem.
So you guys all live together? No, no, Donna and I are staying - at the beach.
- And the rest of us are one big, happy family.
Isn't that right, Kel? If you say so, Val.
You never told me exactly what it is you do.
Well, you know, a little of this and a little of that.
I'm kind of in between careers right now.
Hey, Kel, we're, uh, we're over here.
- All right.
- I'll see you at home.
- Bye.
- See you, guys.
- Aloha.
- Aloha! You must be exhausted after your long two-day vacation.
It just means we'll need another one real soon.
Absolutely.
You know what I was thinking about on the plane? - What? - How much I love you.
And I can't wait to get you home.
Oh, I can't wait to be gotten.
Oh, man, are you kidding me? You know, why don't we just catch a ride with Steve and Valerie? - We'll deal with this tomorrow.
- No, no, no.
Come on, we'll change it right now.
- It'll take two seconds.
- Brandon, I'm tired.
I know you're tired.
Want me to teach you how to change a tire? No, not particularly.
But if there's anything I can do to help you, - you just let me know.
- Okay.
What was that? I don't know.
Brandon, don't.
What the hell you looking at, man? Nothing.
I got a flat tire, that's all.
No problem.
Come on, man, get in.
God, that was scary.
Yeah, what do you say we just get this tire changed and get out of here, huh? Kel, I got you.
I got you.
Okay.
Kelly, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, it's all right.
It's okay, it's all right.
Stay with me.
Stay with me, Kel.
Kelly, you gotta stay with me.
Kelly, Kelly, look at me.
Look at me, you gotta stay with me, Kelly.
Kelly! Kelly! Guys, call 911.
Call 911.
-Where's the phone? Where's the phone? Kel? Kel? Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Come on, stay with me.
Kel? Kel?
