Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s08e15 Episode Script

Ready or Not

Never knew that she played.
And I thought so hard what to say.
I know I'm the one Great crowd.
Fabulous.
$3.
50, please.
Thanks.
The club's jammed, the band's crankin'.
- What's with the attitude? - You know what? I work the crowds, I book the bands, and now I'm bartending, and you get 90% of the profits.
We made a deal.
Well, it's a lousy one.
Yeah, one you agreed to.
Besides, you're making good tips.
Emma.
You here by yourself? - Just dropping off my column.
- Ah.
Hi.
Sit down.
Hang out.
She's probably got somewhere to go, - Kel.
- Ooh, can I have a sneak peek? I can't believe your friend slept with that guy even though he was still with his girlfriend.
That is so low.
Well, then you'll definitely enjoy this installment.
He gets her into bed and then, afterward, of course, conveniently regrets it.
Uh, it's probably the band's last set.
- We should get out of here.
- Okay.
Yeah, me, too.
What time is it? Ooh, I have Oh, my God, that watch Emma, you know, we could, uh, go over this right now if you wanted.
Where'd you get it? Brandon gave it to me for Christmas.
- Hey, David.
- Hey.
First time back on your old turf, huh? It's your turf now.
Only by default, man.
And I'm glad to have it.
It's yours, all right.
Let's just leave it at that.
Anyway, I hope your coming here means we're at peace, man.
Peace? You took my girl and my club, that's not peace.
That's unconditional surrender, big difference.
David, hi.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's wrong with David? Eh, guy broods too much.
Mmm, coming from you, that's high praise.
I'm a brooder now, am I? Brooders like dancing, huh? - Point made.
I gotta go.
- Come on, it's early.
I was hoping you and I could you know I have that interview coming up.
Thought tonight would get my mind off it, but it's not working.
I'll drive you home.
Oh, now I'm starting to brood now, aren't I? Mmm.
Well, looks like it's bedtime for Noah and Donna.
The guy was stocking up on condoms, I saw him.
David, Donna wouldn't move that fast.
Okay.
It's remotely possible.
But it doesn't bother you, does it? - No.
- Me, neither.
You really like them? I love these.
These are great.
Oh, thanks.
I just hope the guy I'm interviewing with in a couple days feels the same way.
He'll love 'em.
- Hi.
- Oh.
I'm late, I know.
Can you give Zach a ride to school? Yeah, sure.
But what's wrong? You're never late.
Oh, they're earthquake retrofitting my place.
The noise is unreal and they turned the power off.
They didn't notify you? Well, it turns out they sent a form weeks ago, when my mom was handling the mail.
Grandma throws the mail out.
Oh, just the junk mail, honey.
And the important mail that looks like junk mail.
Well, do you want to stay with me? I could always sleep on the sofa.
Oh, that's really sweet, but I think it's a little confusing for the short people.
Well, you guys can stay with me.
There's plenty of room.
I couldn't.
Oh, don't give it a second thought.
Give me a call later and I'll give you the key.
Thank you.
Look it should only be a few days.
It'll be fun.
Bye.
Thanks, Steve.
Kelly, can I see you a moment? Tell me something.
Can you set a fracture? Suture a wound? Can you tell if someone's bleeding internally? No.
Then who do you thinks more important to this clinic? You? Or me? Remember that the next time you consider reporting my behavior to Audrey Cutler.
You think I wouldn't find out? I thought I was speaking to her in confidence.
Word gets out.
Maybe you should take that into account next time you're dealing with female colleagues.
You want to take me on? Go ahead.
You win, I go into private practice and quadruple my income.
-There's nothing keeping you here.
Just the patients.
So I offend your delicate sensibilities.
You get me out of here, someone less competent takes over, and as a result someone dies.
Congratulations, Kelly Taylor.
Let's go.
Come on, bring it in.
Can you stay another hour? David, sorry we didn't know this was your car wash.
It's not mine, I just work here.
So what can we do for you today? We have a ten dollar special, a free hot wax.
Fine.
This was an accident.
Really? I thought maybe you guys just rolled out of bed and decided to get your car washed and rub my nose in it.
What is that supposed to mean? You made me wait seven years before you slept with me.
You haven't even made Noah wait seven weeks.
Look, I don't know what you're talking about, but you really are in no position to criticize me, the way you flaunt your sex life with Valerie.
Oh, Valerie and I aren't sleeping together.
Well, everyone at the Walsh house heard you guys No, they heard us faking it.
We were just doing it to make you and Noah jealous.
All right, it was stupid.
Let's just drop it.
I didn't know.
David You okay here? Yeah, fine.
All right.
So, it's true that I don't have a lot of experience.
But I know computer layout, and I'm good with graphics, - and I'm a real quick study.
- Uh-huh.
- No kidding.
- Yeah, small presses, you know, I really believe in them.
Massive circulation and fancy offices They don't impress me.
- Well, that's very good.
- You know, I always root for the underdog.
I like to be able to smell the desperation and desire on the page.
She can smell it? Is it that obvious, - Janet? - No, no, I meant, you know, you must be rewriting just up to publication.
Which is okay with me.
Because I don't mind redoing a layout if it keeps the paper fresh.
You know, on the cutting edge.
I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse us.
We're not used to people sucking up to us.
But that doesn't mean you should stop.
Oh, no, no, no, please continue.
Well, look, I just I really want this job.
You can work me day, night, weekends, holidays, whatever, I don't care.
I will give you 110 percent.
More if you need it.
You got it.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Nobody else applied.
- Oh.
- Steve, maybe we should've held back that information until we negotiated salary.
Oh, don't worry, I'll be gentle.
- Thank you.
- So what happened to the last production manager? Eloped.
Just like that.
Did not even invite us to the wedding ceremony.
Do you believe that? Should've kept her away from the classifieds.
Can you start tomorrow? Yeah, sure thing.
- Great.
- Great.
Welcome aboard.
Brandon, it's customary to shake hands when you close a deal here.
Oh, yeah, right.
Welcome.
Emma, I'm sorry about the watch.
I didn't give it to Kelly.
Oh, no? What, she just took it? Yeah, basically.
Well, did you say, "Look, Kel.
" "The woman I made love to gave this to me?" What, and she liked it so much that she didn't care where it came from? No.
So you're the one who didn't care where it came from.
Look, Emma, I'm sorry.
About everything.
But this isn't going anywhere good.
And us working together is only making things worse.
I know, I just I just wanted us to - If you would just - I'm not going to.
I think you should leave the paper.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Kel.
-Hey.
Oh, I have had the worst morning.
Oh, you poor thing.
You know that doctor I told you about, Monahan? Well, I didn't officially report him, - but he found out - Let's-let's go somewhere.
If I don't quit, he's gonna make my life a living hell.
Kel, I want you away from him.
But I don't think you should run away from this.
I couldn't agree more.
You know, any boss who even hints that you should leave, because he made sexual advances at you, wanted or unwanted, is a jerk.
She's right.
You shouldn't let yourself be victimized.
Exactly.
If I were you, I would stay right where you are.
Right, Brandon? They were faking? Did you ask why? Trying to make us jealous.
Ah.
I wonder whose idea that was.
Valerie.
So when do you have to be at the club? Oh, I'm not going to work tonight.
You're not gonna leave Valerie in charge, are you? She can handle it.
Are you free tonight? Actually, no, I'm not.
Are you still working on your presentation? Yeah, you know, I want to get that job.
And that's all it is, right? 'Cause I'm starting to sense this pattern, Donna.
I know how much you want the job and all, but I can't help feeling we haven't -What? Slept together? Yeah.
David's the only guy that I have ever slept with, and we waited a really long time, until I felt that we were truly committed.
And then it all just fell apart on me.
So, I guess that I just need a little more time to find my way Past David, right? No, that's not it.
Are you sure? Yes.
Can-can you unzip me? There's no zipper.
Well, just take it off.
No, I'll let you do the grunt work.
I did enough today at the car wash.
You know what? I wasn't talking about faking it.
You know, when you kissed me on Christmas Eve it felt real.
It was really nice.
And we've been sleeping in the same bed together No, you've been sleeping.
I've been wide awake.
You think this has been easy for me? How much easier can I make this for you? Val, after a long day of working at the car wash, I have to come home to you, knowing all you want is some guy like Noah.
I don't want Noah.
Sorry, some variation of the rich guy thing.
Well, at least you give me credit for variety.
I saw the way you looked at Donna last night.
How's it make you feel knowing she's going home with Noah, huh? Awful.
Good.
You know what? That's exactly the way you just made me feel right now.
Val, I'm sorry, okay.
You gotta understand.
I was with Donna for a long time.
I loved her.
And now I've gotta sit around watching Noah run my club.
Sleeping with your girlfriend.
Exactly.
Wrong.
See, she's your ex-girlfriend.
Maybe I'd feel better about this whole thing if I wasn't working at a stinking car wash, and-and I had my own place to live.
What do you want me to do? I'm letting you live here.
Thanks a lot for your charity, all right, but l-l've had enough.
Whoa, what are you guys doing here? - I'm working.
- Wrong, David, you're dying here.
Which is why we've come to rescue you.
That's right.
Look, I'm gonna get in trouble unless you guys need a detail or something.
David, we need you at the Beat.
Consider this a job offer.
We want you to do album and concert reviews, cover the whole music scene, what do you say? We'll double your salary.
- Not including tips of course.
- Think about it.
You can give up that carnauba wax, go back to real hair gel.
I'm not a writer.
It's not writing the story, David, it's knowing the subject.
- Say yes.
- Come on, say yes.
Y-E-S, - Say it.
One little word's gonna make us very happy.
Who are you guys? My new bosses.
I quit.
Whoo-hoo! Hi.
Ls Dr.
Monahan in? In his office.
Not someone from the Foundation again.
No, but, uh Kelly.
This is Lisa Gaines.
Your replacement.
Excuse me? It killed me when she resigned.
She may look petite, but you've got big shoes to fill.
Well, I'll do my best.
Good luck on your new job.
- Bye.
- I'll see you, Lisa.
I can't believe you did this.
Frankly, I'm surprised you're here.
I wanted to help people.
I believed in what you were doing.
I'll mention that in my recommendation.
I'm filing a formal complaint.
I started this clinic.
Lam this clinic.
We get funding because the board at the Wyatt Foundation believes in me.
If what you've built is ruined, it's nobody's fault but your own.
I'm not gonna let you run me out of here.
N0? Try this.
You're fired.
Oh, hey, Nat.
Hey, hey.
What's this? Oh, it's for you New theme night.
Sports Night at the After Dark.
Everybody's going to be there and Noah's going to make tons of money.
Patience, Val.
There's no shortcut to being rich.
Unless you're born with it.
What's he doing here? Who is he? Duke Weatherill, Brandon's old bookie.
How's it going, Nat? Two to one I know which you sell more, cake or pie.
The only action you're gonna see here is scrambled, over easy or sunny side up.
Yeah, I can see that.
The nightclub is her business, not mine.
Maybe I should talk to her then.
Stay away from her.
For old time's sake.
Sure for old time's sake.
Okay, what should we pack next? Uh, you want to pack the bathroom? Okay.
Oh, you know what? I've got all this stuff in my apartment except these.
Yours? Well, they're for Steve, but - Okay, can I ask you a question? - Mm-hmm.
Have you guys right.
Duh, obviously you have, but when did you? - Have sex? - Mm-hmm.
When the time was right.
Yeah, but how'd you know? Steve looked at me, and I remember looking like hell.
But you could see that he wasn't seeing that.
And, um, I just couldn't take my eyes or my hands off him.
And it was, I don't know, it was just time.
You know, at first I thought you had to be married.
And then I thought it was okay as long as it was the guy you were going to marry, and now The rules keep changing.
It's so confusing.
If you're not sure, you're not ready.
- Yeah, but "sure" of what? - That you can give yourself to this person and he'll do the same.
Don't worry.
You'll know before it's too late.
I mean, you don't need to be in bed with each other to feel the difference.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, shift over at the car wash? No, I'm done for good.
I quit.
Wow, it's about time.
What pushed you over the edge? I mean, assuming that you needed one? Well, actually Brandon and Steve want me to work up at the Beat.
I'm their new music guy.
Wow, that's great.
You guys'll have a lot of fun together.
Yeah.
Plus they gave me enough of a cash advance where I can start, uh, thinking about getting my own place.
So I think I'm going to move out.
Is that what you want? Yeah, I think so.
Or is it Donna? No.
No, it's It's you.
I love spending time with you and we've been getting along great, I'm just afraid that maybe we have a little too much of a history, you know? And I'm also afraid of dealing with another shock.
Yes, David, you, you fell down.
You lost a job and a girlfriend.
But you didn't whine and you didn't quit.
I'm really proud of you.
I can't believe you're saying this.
You've fought your way back.
I mean, you took a crappy job because it's one step.
And I really respect that.
I do.
I'm still moving out.
If that's what you if that's what you want.
'Cause you see, I just I just can't trust you.
Yeah - I'm such a terrible person.
- You know, there's, there's still people downstairs.
They're not going to hear anything that they haven't heard before.
He actually fired you? Loaded, aimed and fired.
But that was only round one.
You should sue him to the wall.
I would settle for keeping my job and finding somebody to replace him.
The water's almost boiling.
Should I start the pasta? Yeah, sure, uh, as soon as Brandon gets home.
Well, I'll use this to time it when it's ready.
This is a man's watch.
- Did you realize that? - Yeah, that's why I like it.
It's not so dressy, you know? Sometimes the most everyday present can mean the most.
Well, I'm sure that was the intention of the gift.
Hello.
Ls anybody home? Speak of the devil.
Hi.
HEY, “OW you doing, baby'? - Good, how are you? - Good.
Oh, no! Kelly! Who's that? I don't, I'm I had the watch in one hand and the pasta in the other.
I don't know how it happened.
Oh, it's broken.
Oh, Kelly, it was an accident.
I'm so sorry.
Brandon, where'd you get it? Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
Well, I want to replace it.
I'll do it.
Just tell me where you got it.
Brandon, if she wants to I don't remember, okay? Well, you just got it for Christmas.
Yeah, I know, I just, uh I can't remember right now, but I will.
Well, you let me know the minute you do.
I'm kind of a stickler for payback.
Is that Donna's apartment? - Yep.
- Ooh, you did a good job, - sweetie.
- Can I draw - something else? - Sure.
I'll get you some more paper out of my sketchbook.
That's someone that's on the top Here you go, Zach man.
Zach, honey, are you ever going to get off this bed? -No.
Well, that's all right.
There's no rush.
Of course, unless you want dessert.
Peanut butter swirl! - Yeah! - There's berries in the fridge.
Oh, berries I love berries on ice cream.
Instead of ice cream.
Berries on ice cream.
You know, Donna, I really want to thank you.
You have no idea how much this helps me.
Oh, likewise, thank you for the advice about Noah who I have to go meet right about now at the Peach Pit After Dark.
Hey, Donna any more chocolate syrup? Um, yeah, on the door in the fridge.
I hope you don't mind, I have to go to work tonight, but I have a sitter for Zach.
Uh, she's 16 and completely responsible.
Okay.
Why is Shauna coming here? I'm available.
Steve, you don't have to.
With chocolate syrup and the Stooges as rewards, I'm sure you'll find we're very well behaved.
All tapped out of Stooges.
Chocolate syrup? Pray for mercy.
So what do you think? Let me get this straight: She gives the guy a present, and he passes it on to his girlfriend? Just like a disease.
Oh, this guy! I never even thought about that.
He is such a pig.
So why does your friend want him? And why do you want to read about him? To remind me how lucky I am to have a guy like you.
You certainly are.
I'd think Monahan would be a living reminder of that.
Hey, can we stop the man bashing for a couple minutes here, guys? Oh, come on, Brandon.
You can't defend Monahan.
I bet his wife doesn't even know how he treats women who work under him.
Always the last to know.
Even though the reality is probably staring her right in the face.
You got to take him down, Kelly.
She'll do the right thing.
Well, if the future of the clinic is at stake, then they're gonna take his side; They'll have to.
Amazing.
It's not the sleazebags you got to watch out for.
It's the nice guys who, well, for the most part, do and say the right things.
What do you mean? Well, they think they've got license to act out.
It's hard to get anybody else to see how wrong they are when they don't even see it themselves.
But it can be done.
Well, it's his word against mine.
His words are the problem.
Hasn't anybody else heard how he talks to you? No, I don't think so.
Well, then you should let them.
I'm going to go get the glasses from the living room.
No, you stay.
I'll go.
Boy, is she missing the point.
This girl just attracts all the wrong kind of guys.
Harassing doctors, cheating boyfriends She's a regular country and western song.
I want you to get the hell out of my house and I want you to stay away from my girlfriend.
There's nothing between us.
There never was.
There never will be.
Do you understand? And there's the bell for round two.
Rocco and Kristoff are right back in there, toe-to-toe.
Already, this fight has shown the explosive power of both of these guys.
Anything can happen and it all comes down to who's got what left I've got to tell you, it's our best night yet.
Congrats.
You know what, forget about the pat on the back.
I want a new deal.
It's been two weeks, right? I give you a piece, even though you don't put up anything, and you want to renegotiate.
Is she always like this? Keep me out of it.
Look, we have an extra bartender.
I want you to restock the register with small bills, okay? What about the raise? What about it? Back to the salt mine.
- I'm going to grab a drink.
- Okay.
I'm going to give you guys - which is a very good thing - Hey, guys.
There's a few minutes left in happy hour.
See you at the bar.
I don't think we've met.
Duke Weatherill.
You've got a great place here.
You know what, save it, Duke.
Nat told me the whole story, and I really don't want you doing business here, okay? Hey, Duke, can we still get in on that hockey game? Oh, yeah, sure, uh, but, you know, give me a moment here though, okay? Now, young lady, I'm going to make you a proposition.
You let me operate here, and I will cut you in on tonight's action.
And what kind of cut would that be, huh? I'll give you a quarter of what I do.
And I clear $2,000 a night.
Which means $4,000 a night.
I'll take a third in cash, by 11:00 tomorrow.
Is that a yes or no? No wonder this place is jumping, you're good.
Deal.
He momentarily lost his balance, but he regains his composure.
Now he's back on the attack to Rocco.
Just what is it? Rocco is powering David? Hey.
Listen, what you told me yesterday, I can't seem to get it out of my head.
I'm sorry.
Um, I was just a little upset.
No, don't be sorry.
I'm glad that you told me.
I mean, I I guess I was feeling kind of sad when I thought that you had moved on so quickly.
But now that I know you haven't, I feel better.
You and Noah have moved on.
Yeah, we're seeing each other, but that's it.
I mean, we haven't It's not like it was with you and me.
Wait a second, you mean that you two haven't? No.
We haven't.
That's why I was relieved to know that you and Valerie haven't.
Donna, that's that's not entirely accurate.
You were lying? Or, or what, you're lying now? 'Cause I don't understand this.
Is this some sort of sick game to you, David? Look, I never meant to hurt you.
Yeah, you just wanted to throw it in my face a couple of times, right? Hey, will you take me home now? It's winding down, but it's not over yet.
Oh, well, I thought we could go home together.
Whoa, look at the time.
Early night? Yep.
I don't know what's going on between them, but they're definitely sleeping together.
And now you want to sleep with me? Tell me it's a coincidence.
I thought it's what you wanted.
Yeah, it is, but for the right reasons.
I mean, not to get back at your ex-boyfriend.
Look, Donna, maybe you should go home alone tonight.
Maybe I should.
All right.
Look, I'm done.
If that is another hang up Hello? It's me.
It's a source on a story I'm working on.
I'll be up in a minute.
Did you just kiss her? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.
I don't want to know.
What do you want? Tonight I just had to see the two of you together.
I know you really love her.
This has got to stop.
You said you were sorry.
I am, too.
I just Come on.
Don't do this.
You did feel something, didn't you? Being in my bed, making love to me? It was good, wasn't it? Yes, it was, okay? Emma, you're beautiful and you're smart.
Don't waste your time on me.
Well, I guess that's all I wanted to hear.
I'll clear my stuff out of the office tomorrow.
You don't have to be there.
I think we're finally doing the right thing.
Good-bye, Emma.
Making love to me? It was good, wasn't it? Yes, it was, okay? Emma, you're beautiful and you're smart I didn't even hear you make coffee.
Donna actually made it.
She's already left for her job interview.
She must have been really nervous.
Donna left? Mm-hmm.
Did she talk to Zach? No, he's still sleeping.
He climbed into bed with me last night.
He hasn't done that for a really long time.
It's a lot of changes for a little kid, you know? Mm, you should see the changes that he made.
To Donna's designs.
- He didn't.
- I nodded off last night.
When I was sleeping, he drew all over Donna's sketches.
He's not very good at staying in the lines either.
Well, she didn't say anything about it.
I stuffed her sketchbook into her portfolio.
I wanted to talk to her first.
You mean she doesn't know about it? Now, I realize that I'm very close to the drop dead point for the summer fashions, but I do have some ideas.
Donna, I'll give you what I give anybody who comes to me with an idea.
Two whole minutes, starting now.
That much, huh? Let's see your designs.
Okay.
Oh, gosh, I'm very sorry.
All right.
Uh, well, um, you see, pencil is just so lifeless.
These are your designs? Yes.
You draw like a five year old.
- You're a genius.
- I'm what? A genius.
It looks almost as if you used crayons.
Yeah.
It's going to be impossible to replicate, but we have to do it.
But the coloring screams "Break free, forget rules, have fun!" Yeah, just, just like a, a day at the beach, right? Exactly.
So, Donna what are you doing for the next six months? - Working here? - You got it.
- Yay.
- Congratulations.
Thank you.
Now all we need is a name.
Child's Play? Yeah.
You got all your stuff? Took you long enough.
I was too upset to pack yesterday.
I'll help you carry it out to the car.
You got to toughen up, Kelly.
Don't cower every time a man pays you a compliment.
Flattery was not your intent.
I don't really like what we're doing here.
Just give it a minute.
Come on, get off your high horse, will you? And learn something from this experience.
You're a beautiful girl.
You got a great body.
Use what you've got.
What I've got is a college degree.
I have experience in my field.
Well, you didn't handle me very well.
Which was the most important part of your job.
I guess you're right.
Really? You filed charges against me.
Well, I realized I was going to be needing a recommendation.
Well we could talk about your performance.
Which I'll bet is pretty good.
Of course, at the moment, I don't have enough information for a thorough review.
Why don't you take this off? I was talking about my job.
You're making me very uncomfortable.
Well, get comfortable.
Stop it.
What's up, Doc? This isn't the way it looks.
Mm-hmm.
Your contract with the Wyatt Foundation is terminated.
You're fired.
You're closing down a free clinic? There's an achievement.
Wait till it hits the papers.
I've already talked to an excellent doctor.
- His name's John Martin.
- Would he actually consider this position? He's my best friend's father, and he's already agreed.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Brandon, thank you.
your fee.
No fooling? For one night, huh? What can I say? It's a lucrative business.
That's the lure in spite of the penalties.
I get the idea.
It occurs to me that a charming, beautiful woman like yourself well, guys might be more likely to lay a bet with you than with me.
Tell me more.
I need a front, someone to bring me the bets while I work the phones and lay them off.
No risk, no reward.
And why would I want to do that? Your take would be double what you made last night.
Okay, I'm in.
Great.
I'll be in touch this afternoon about odds and events.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hi, boss.
I see we haven't scared you off yet.
No, not hardly, and I'm going to be back bright and early tomorrow morning, too.
Great.
Um, I guess we can't say so much for Anyway, good night.
Yeah, good night.
I'll be out of here in a minute.
Steve said you were off somewhere with Kelly.
Romantic interlude? I was at the clinic.
Ah, big doings with Miss Nightingale? Monahan's out.
No kidding.
How'd Kelly pull that off? She took your advice.
She got the people who run the clinic to see him for who he really is.
Give a guy like that a little rope, he'll hang himself every time.
You did feel something, didn't you? Being in my bed, making love to me? It was good, wasn't it? Yes, it was, okay? Emma, you're beautiful and you're smart.
Don't waste your time on me.
Well, I guess that's all I wanted to hear.
That was terrific.
It's a congratulatory dinner, it's supposed to be terrific.
I almost died when I found out that Zach had colored in all my sketches.
Did you tell Carly? Yes, and she promised not to punish him.
That's good of her.
This is so amazing.
You know, you didn't have to be so extravagant, though.
This is a lot? Hmm I don't think it's enough.
I love you.
