Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s10e03 Episode Script

KELLY: Yeah, well, we'll see you then.
I had to elbow a Home Ec teacher to get the last ltalian wool in Southern California.
Okay, we have six days to finish all the suits.
Did you pick up the reopening banner? - Oh, that's not a happy face.
- No, it isn't.
The buyers from New York just called.
Oh! No, they can't cancel.
They're so excited to see your men's line that they've moved their trip up.
They'll be here in two days.
Oh.
We reopen in three days.
That's what the banner says.
I wanted your first week back to be easy, and it's turning into a total disaster.
That's not your fault.
Does this stuff happen to Vera Wang? If it does, she hires help.
And so will we.
Well, we can't afford that.
That's my point, Donna.
The store hasn't made a dime in weeks.
That's why this event has to be huge.
I know to make money you have to spend money.
But somehow the concepts "huge" and "two days.
' they just don't go together nicely.
Okay, you finish the suits.
I will figure this out.
Oh, boy.
STEVE: I was watching this show last night on penguins.
Do you know the male penguin actually takes care of the egg? DYLAN: Didn't know it.
Balances it on his feet so it never touches the ice.
- Where's the Admissions office? - It's this way.
Thanks for the ride, the shop should have my bike back tomorrow.
That's no problem.
So anyway, it's two months, the penguin doesn't eat.
It just waits for that egg to hatch.
When I saw that I was like, "Go, Dad.
Nice commitment.
' Lion, on the other hand, totally hands-off.
Looks like a lazy pig.
- Pig, oh-- - Steve, Steve, listen.
You gotta quit watching Animal Planet and talk to your girlfriend.
I don't know what I'm gonna tell her.
You've been talking for an hour about fatherhood.
What's to decide? Taking responsibility for this baby is a huge step for me.
Trust me, every now and then, jumping into the unknown is not a bad thing.
This is you.
Take the step.
- Good luck, Dylan.
- Thanks.
[DYLAN CLEARS THROAT.]
[RlNGS.]
They told me to speak to you.
[SlGHS.]
Did they also tell you that appointments are preferred? Listen, l, uh-- I was just over trying to register and apparently my name isn't in the computer.
- All right, name? - McKay, Dylan.
Dylan McKay.
McKay.
"Dylan McKay.
' Oh, your application was denied.
You should have gotten a letter.
I moved.
Well, a member of my admissions team reviewed your material and found your essay more a mockery than a statement of purpose.
I do believe you were in search of life, liberty, and the perfect wave.
Yeah, um, you know, they want you to sum up your academic aspirations as well as your plans for the future in 500 words or less.
- l-- Who can do that? - About 3000 would-be students.
[SlGHS.]
There was more to the essay.
Yes, you were torn between basket weaving and astrophysics.
I wanted to lighten it up a bit.
You did a sufficient job of that, didn't you? You're not letting me in, are you? I'm sorry.
Good luck on your wave hunt, Mr.
McKay.
I'm confused.
You're talking about a reopening and she's hemming pants.
Buyers are looking at her men's line this week.
It's a totally different thing.
Well, that's our hook.
We're kicking off the party with a fashion show.
I'm thinking twinkle lights.
I'm thinking exclusive guest list.
All in two days? We'll throw a panic party.
L.
A.
is an impulsive town.
The invites go out the day before-- Everyone will be terrified of missing the newest, hottest thing.
This is my players' book.
A who's who of actors, models, rock stars.
That place across the courtyard is empty.
We could rent it out.
We could have the post party right here.
Chapter one, we need a fleet of hotties on the catwalk.
Call Nan Chambers Modeling on Canyon.
- Book Steve, Eddie, James, and Tyler.
- Got it.
Kelly, you handle the invitations.
And I'll book the caterer.
Pop a few charming pills, ladies, we've got a lot of begging to do.
[DONNA SlGHS.]
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Come in.
It's a daddy penguin.
It's for you.
We haven't talked in days, and you just blow in here with stuffed toys? Imagine me on the arctic ice, incubating an egg on my webbed feet.
- That's disgusting.
- You're not listening.
I'm the daddy penguin, the penguin is me.
- I learned about it on TV.
- Terrific.
But I think I'm gonna hold out for a daddy human.
You got one.
You and me are gonna raise this kid together.
A weekend of nature documentaries and just all of a sudden you're convinced? It's what I want.
You, me.
- Really? - Really.
[SOBBlNG.]
I'm so happy because I just kept thinking, "What if he says no?" Well, I'm saying yes.
Ha, ha.
Oh, the penguin's drowning.
Well, listen, now that I'm on board, what's next? Um Oh, uh Well, I have a checkup with my obstetrician tonight.
- But if that's too much too soon-- - No, no, I'll go with you.
And don't worry about Harry.
His densely-packed feathers provide a waterproof coat.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Aah! - Ha-ha-ha! - All right, uh, just give me one more.
- David, I'm totally crazed.
I don't have time to sit around and record stupid sound-- It's classic.
Callers say something stupid, - this is what they hear.
DONNA [ON RECORDlNG.]
: Aah! Sounds like you can't wait to use it.
I guess you haven't listened to my show lately.
CDs for David Silver.
Beautiful, thank you.
Hey, how's it going? Good.
Congratulations on the reopening.
Thank you.
I, um-- I hope you can make it.
Actually, I can't.
I'm going to Napa Valley with Cherise.
- Sounds fun.
- Yeah.
I'll see you later.
- Bye.
- See you.
I could use one more take on that.
- Oh, yeah.
- Thanks.
[SCREAMS OVER PA.]
Nice one.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- You know what I like about you? - Please tell me.
You didn't like the winter, so you moved to L.
A.
You didn't like the big firm, so you started your own.
You are exactly where you wanna be.
And I take it you're not.
Yes, well, what have we got here? That sandwich that you like.
Hmm.
Well, thank you.
I guess that's a pretty good apology for blowing off lunch.
No, I didn't blow you off.
I called.
I never got a message.
You know what? You need to get rid of that stellar assistant of yours.
Sorry, I'm just a little stressed right now.
The reopening has been difficult? Understatement.
The closer it gets, the more trapped I feel.
- You should just quit.
- I can't quit now.
If something isn't sitting right, you have to address it.
Otherwise, you'll keep making excuses to stay.
I guess that's one of the pitfalls of incorporating with your best friend.
- Oh.
Have you talked to Donna? - No, it's not a good time.
I mean, we're both on the verge.
- Mm-hm.
- And I just want to make sure that my jitters are about needing something new.
Not wanting to run away.
You don't run away from anything.
I know that for a fact.
GlNA: Hi.
MATT: Hi.
KELLY: Gotta go.
MATT: Halt.
Halt, halt, halt.
I'm arranging a ceasefire here.
- Why? - Gina, stop blocking Kelly's calls.
MATT: Kelly, don't march out of here-- KELLY: I don't run out of here.
I'm not asking you two to be friends, just civil, for my sake.
- Fine.
- Fine.
Thank you.
Bye, Kelly.
See you later.
See, that's not trying.
That snotty little look on her face.
I don't wanna hear it, please.
Blood pressure's normal.
No signs of oedema.
How's Dad over there? - How you doing, honey? - I'm fine.
I usually don't see dads till later in the pregnancy.
- Well, I'm here now, Dr.
Long.
- I'm glad.
Janet just goes on and on about how wonderful you are.
Lie down now.
I'm not gonna let you intimidate me.
I'm in charge here.
LONG: We'll run the Doppler, and then you're done.
Doppler? That sounds painful.
Oh, it's just a microphone.
It enables us to hear the baby's heartbeat.
Do you know how glad I am you're here? [STEVE SlGHS.]
[HEART BEATlNG.]
There it is.
It sounds perfect.
Oh, isn't that amazing? It's unbelievable.
JANET: It's such a strong heartbeat.
It's such a strong baby.
It was so strong, like a little hummingbird.
Oh, that must have been incredible.
Oh, just talking about it makes me wanna cry.
- How is Steve? - Did he freak out? He was so excited, he could barely speak.
He's gonna be a great father.
- I'm gonna be a horrible father.
- Steve, you gotta relax.
Relax? Look who you're talking to.
I'm Steve Sanders.
I'm the original party animal.
I'm an irresponsible goofball.
I'm-- Well, you've had your moments.
I'd give you that, Steve.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentleman, my good friend, Dylan McKay.
You did pretty good with Carly's kid, right? Mm.
We were more like playmates.
Look, I need you guys to give me some good information.
I don't know.
You're the trailblazer.
Why don't you just call your dad? STEVE: I want this to be a decision I'm proud of.
If I call him now, I'll-- I'll panic.
And my voice will crack.
I'll be reduced to that blubbering little 1 6-year-old who just had his car stolen.
KELLY [ON RECORDlNG.]
: Matt, hi.
I just left Donna.
I couldn't bring myself to mention what we talked about.
You're not there and I'm staring down my future.
Call me.
[MOUTHS.]
Call me.
- Hey.
Uh-- - Have you seen the Robinson file? Yeah, it's on-- Right on your desk.
Okay.
I have this message for you from Kelly Taylor, who called at exactly 1 0:52.
And she wanted to talk to you about some heart-to-heart with Donna.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.
So, what's the heart-to-heart about? - It's none of your business.
- Right.
- Ahem.
You know what? - Mm? - We're done for the day.
- Really? It's so early.
Yeah, well, if you wanna stay on the clock, I'm sure Donna and Kelly could use some help at the store.
[LAUGHS.]
Matt, uh, look, forcing us to hang out isn't going to make us friends, trust me.
I know.
Just try, huh? A little bit? Are you sure that's not gonna blow a fuse? I've done this a million times.
- Hi.
- What do you want? I'm here to work.
If you don't like it, you can talk to your boyfriend about it.
Flawless.
I remember you.
You're stuffing invitations.
The messenger will be here at 8.
Now, if I can just find Michael Stipe's address.
You know what? I was thinking about getting back into, um, personal training.
Maybe we could do a little brainstorming.
I don't share this information with just anyone.
It simply isn't here.
Well, you know what? I have a friend who I think she knows him.
I'll just give her a call.
You think like a publicist, Kelly.
Ever think of joining our ranks? We can talk about that later.
Oh, so you're interested? [KELLY CHUCKLES.]
Oh, I gave Matt that message about your future, I guess.
Got a lot of big decisions ahead, huh? Okay, that makes me nervous.
Please.
Oh, drop me off at the florist on your way to the club.
- And, Gidget-- Whatever.
- Gina.
Make sure that Christian Sutton's invite is on the top of the stack.
He's the critic from the Chronicle who's review can make or break us.
- You got that? Mm-hm.
- Got it.
KELLY: Hi, I'm going to the After Dark.
I'll be back in just a little bit.
DONNA: Okay.
- Gina, what are you doing here? - I'm helping.
Really? I haven't seen you much since you moved out of the apartment.
Matt's paying me.
- My bad, thought you were being nice.
- Mm-mm.
Anyway, Gina, meet my men's line.
If this takes off, instant capital.
Right.
You'll probably need it after Kelly quits the store.
- What? - She was just talking to Matt about it.
Then Pia offered her the job.
I assumed-- She hasn't said anything to me.
Well, I guess retail can be pretty cutthroat, huh? Ha, ha.
[SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Hey, I'm here for the wineglasses.
- Hi.
- Dylan's bringing them right down.
- Oh, okay, thanks.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
Erich, big man.
You're on.
So I did what you said, cut my ex-girlfriend off.
Hey, if she's not sleeping with you, you shouldn't be paying her rent.
- How'd she take it? - She begged me to move back in.
[DONNA SCREAMS ON RECORDlNG.]
- Mm.
Did you? - No way.
[APPLAUSE PLAYlNG ON RECORDlNG.]
Good man.
High and dry is the only way to go.
Congratulations, you just graduated from loser to winner.
- Ha, ha.
- Harsh.
If you want a pat on the back, call your grandma.
How you doing? Hmm.
I just pulled my fourth all-nighter this week.
It started with writing Dylan's college recommendation - and just went downhill from there.
- Ha-ha-ha! Dylan's going to college? Yeah, he wants to, but CU rejected his application.
Oh, let me guess.
He did a half-ass job and tried making them feel like they owed him a spot.
- David.
- What? The guy's a screwup, all right? First he wastes his time, and now he's wasting yours.
Am I wrong? Exactly.
Exactly.
- Dylan.
- Your glasses are in the car.
David, I think you should apologise.
For what? Telling the truth? No.
What? What? [KELLY SCOFFS.]
[SlGHS.]
Men's room needs restocking.
So? So the bar's packed and I'm swamped, man.
Well, it's not my job.
Then why are you sitting here eight hours a day behind this desk? [DYLAN SlGHS.]
CHERlSE: Hey.
- Hey.
Okay, so I thought we'd drive up PCH, yeah? I thought we were flying.
Well, I mean, this will, you know, take a little longer, but the view's supposed to be really beautiful.
- It's eight hours.
- What? So we bring a mixed tape.
Look, we're gonna have a blast.
If we're moving too quickly just, um-- If it's PCH you want, PCH you get.
Thanks.
Hey.
Don't tell me we double-booked.
I thought I was in charge of glasses.
Kel, I'm sorry, but you should have told me.
- What? - Are you leaving the store? - Okay, wait a minute.
- I get this information from Gina? No.
No, there is no information, Donna.
Going back to the store was the hardest thing you've ever done.
And I've been leaning on you a lot-- I really don't think this is the time or the place to talk about this.
- But we will talk about it? - Yes.
We just have a lot on our plates right now.
Let's just get through tomorrow, okay? Okay.
JANET: You look very handsome tonight.
Thank you.
You look beautiful.
- Honey, your foot's on mine.
- I know, I'm flirting with you.
Oh, all right.
[BABY CRYlNG.]
Mm.
God, no wonder they call it the chocolate orgasm.
Orgasm what? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm just having a little trouble thinking clearly.
JANET: Mm.
Oh, he's adorable.
Some set of lungs.
Did you know I used to hear stuff like that and it would bother me? But now I just think, "Soon that's gonna be us.
' I read that when a new mother hears her baby cry, she involuntarily lactates.
Isn't that beautiful? Do you think he's hungry? He sure is loud.
Well, just try and concentrate, okay? And block it out.
[CRYlNG CONTlNUES.]
- Is that better? - Yeah.
It's like I don't hear it at all.
[CRYlNG CONTlNUES.]
[SlGHS.]
Voila.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You know what, let me just, um I'll deliver this to the Chronicle myself.
Thank you.
COURlER: Mm-hm.
[GASPS.]
- Oh, my God.
- No.
The, uh, twinkle lights shorted out and there was sparks flying everywhere.
And everything just went up.
Thank God I was here, or you could have lost the whole store.
NOAH: What's going on? - A fire at the store.
- Anybody hurt? - No, but the place is a mess.
I'm helping them with the cleanup.
- The reopening is today? - Right.
That's why it's a disaster.
[DOORBELL RlNGS.]
- Could you get the door for me? - Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
I come bearing enough high-carb junk food to get us past Montecito.
Montecito.
Have fun, guys.
- Okay, thanks.
NOAH: Yeah.
- What's going on? - Uh, an emergency at Kelly's boutique.
She might need us.
I thought it was Donna's boutique.
Yeah, um, can you give me a half an hour? Just a half an hour.
It's all I need.
Then we'll go on our way, okay? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Ah.
Screw it.
I'll just wear the drawstrings.
Looks like I'm gonna have to go shopping for new clothes, again.
Or maybe I'll just walk around naked.
What do you think of that? Yeah.
[PHONE RlNGlNG.]
Hello? Hi, Mr.
Sanders.
Actually, he's not here right now, so I'll just tell him you called.
Okay, bye.
Steve, you haven't said a word since last night.
Suddenly I'm dating a zombie and I don't appreciate it.
Was your dad happy to find out that he's gonna be a grandfather? I haven't told him.
You're hiding it.
How assuring.
You didn't exactly send your parents a singing telegram, now, did you? Look, the crying baby last night, it blew me away.
You've had so much more time to adjust to this than I have.
I'm scared.
I'm scared I'm not ready for this.
You can't say that.
You're not allowed to say that.
I'm just telling you how I feel.
You gave me a penguin.
This is exactly what I was afraid of, you'd get my hopes up and then you'd disappear.
Look, I'm here.
I'm right here.
I'm sitting right next to you, okay? I haven't disappeared.
[STEVE SlGHS.]
I'm just torn.
Well, torn isn't an option, Steve.
I need you to be 1 00 percent.
And anything in between just isn't fair.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
We need some extra hands.
Yeah, okay.
Second time's the charm.
- Wonderful, I'll read it next year.
- What? We're no longer accepting applications.
I don't think anybody is, uh, gonna die if you bend the rules a little bit.
Mr.
McKay, there's nothing to bend.
This isn't a raffle.
You don't get to enter as many times as you like.
You're not even gonna read it, are you? You were denied, it's as simple as that.
I've worked with Hugh Grant and Courtney Love.
This is hardly a disaster.
Okay, we have eight hours, we'll just redo the outfits.
Seven suits, five shirts, neckwear, cargo pants, French seams.
Do you know how to sew a buttonhole? It takes time.
More time than we've got.
STEVE: Alrighty.
- I'll put the sewing machine there.
- What are you guys doing here? Stopped by the apartment, picked up your stuff.
We're all here to help, okay? Oh, thanks.
Okay, um, just put the sewing machine over there.
- Plug it into the outlet.
CHERlSE: All right, okay.
DONNA: Start cutting new patterns.
Janet, can you grab extra scissors right in the top drawer over there? Um, David, the red fabric, we need that for Okay, great.
Um, just, uh - You got a second? DONNA: The sewing is GlNA: Mm-hm.
What? What? People used to drive from three counties away to see my family's house at Christmastime.
That's great.
I know how many twinkle lights your outlet can handle before sparks fly.
- Yeah, I was really scared.
- Mm.
What's under your shirt? It was an accident.
It was completely a mistake.
I was playing with this candle-- Everything has to be put back perfectly.
That means you in the trenches, fingers to the bone, no coffee breaks.
Now, who's this? Who's Christian Sutton? He's a critic from the Chronicle.
- Yeah, well, go find him.
- Find him? Find him.
Find him.
I set up the sound booth.
I'll show you how all this stuff works.
Okay.
It's unbelievable this space was available across the courtyard.
DYLAN: You know, David, somewhere in all your bitterness, you may have found a little wisdom.
The school thing was a waste of everybody's time.
Okay, you guys, seven hours and counting.
My record for putting together a dress is five.
So this is basically a study in denial.
Hey, l, uh-- I got the message at the hotel.
KELLY: Thanks.
So, what are you gonna do about CU? Oh, I don't know.
It's out of my hands now.
Okay, raise your hands.
Who can sew? - Thread a needle? STEVE: Kind of.
Cut in a straight line? I got the scissors right here, baby.
- Let's get at it.
- Denial should work.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
[DOORBELL RlNGS.]
- Hi, Christian Sutton? - Yeah.
- Oh, my name is Gina Kincaid-- - I don't want any.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
[DOORBELL RlNGS.]
Mr.
Sutton, if you could just listen to what I have to say.
[DOORBELL RlNGS.]
Hi.
Here you go, sweetie.
Now, you're gonna listen.
[GlNA LAUGHS.]
- Finished.
ALL: Yeah.
- Way to go, Donna.
- ETA on guests is 30 minutes.
Yup, the models will be here in ten.
Okay, champagne.
To the best employees I've ever had.
The only employees I've ever had.
To you.
I think we've earned our merit badges.
NOAH: I think you're right.
- I'm gonna go say bye, okay? - Okay.
[ALL CHEERlNG.]
KELLY: Yeah.
- Keep it pouring.
[CELL PHONE RlNGS.]
Yeah.
What? Where? You are so completely fired.
The limo we rented for the models is stuck in traffic on the 1 01, with the models.
The people from New York just got here.
Should I show them to their seats? - What? - Does an aneurysm hurt? NOAH: It's under control.
Come here, guys.
- Why, what's wrong? DONNA: Oh, my God.
STEVE: What do you wanna do? NOAH: Matt.
Noah.
[MEN WHlSPERlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY.]
[MOUTHlNG WORDS.]
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
[CAMERAS CLlCKlNG.]
[CROWD APPLAUDlNG.]
[CROWD CHATTERlNG.]
Steve, go wait in there.
- Okay, David, you're up next.
DONNA: Fix your collar.
Matt, you have one more outfit.
You look good, buddy.
Okay, we have to change for the finale.
- I'm sorry we're running so late.
- Yeah, I don't wanna go anymore.
- We could just go tomorrow.
- No, I mean ever.
I just spent the entire day being completely ignored by you.
Just go home and I'll call you, okay? I'd rather do this in person.
- What? - Break up.
[NOAH SCOFFS.]
You're still in love with Donna.
[CROWD APPLAUDlNG.]
I'm sorry about before.
I know.
Looks like it worked out pretty well, don't you think? Except your cummerbund is still upside down.
Seriously, I think we took an impossible situation and we made it work.
You and I should do the same thing.
You think what we have is impossible? Okay, bad choice of words.
You and I should do the right thing.
Janet, I wanna be a dad.
And I wanna be a husband.
Ha, ha! Excuse me? We should get married.
What? What? [LAUGHS.]
Um Are you sure about this? Because I can't handle another about-face.
I am absolutely positive.
Well, then, yeah, we should get married.
[CROWD CHEERlNG.]
[CHEERlNG.]
MAN: Yeah.
I think the show went really well.
Thanks.
And I'm sorry for jumping all over you.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you where I was at with that.
- Mm.
Ha, ha.
- Ha, ha.
We're gonna check out the review of the Chronicle.
Wanna come? We're gonna get breakfast.
Oh, I already ate.
Well, is there anything you need while we're out? Uh, maybe a tranquilizer.
Steve and I are getting married.
[ALL LAUGHlNG.]
Congratulations.
Tell us every detail.
- Did he get down on one knee? - No.
- Where's the ring? - Still have to pick it out.
- Oh.
- Where'd it happen? It was just a spur of the moment thing during the show.
It was just a good practical proposal.
Oh, I knew he'd come through.
It's like your whole life is wrapped up with a big red bow.
I just hope he doesn't feel strangled by it.
No, there's no way.
- I'm so happy for you.
- Thank you.
All right, we'll plan it later.
Bye.
- See you later, Mrs.
Sanders.
KELLY: Ha, ha.
[RlNGS.]
- I'm dropping this off for Dylan McKay.
- That won't be necessary.
You know, you're shortchanging someone that could really use the chance.
- Mister--? - David Silver, graduated in '97.
Alumni recommendations, Mr.
Silver, should be in written not oral form.
Besides, our classes are at capacity.
My freshman year at CU, I was, uh, working the graveyard shift at the radio station.
I was sleeping through classes and doing stuff that I still regret.
Before I know it, I'm two research papers behind.
So I'm thinking, you know, drop the classes.
And Dylan shows up at my front door with a stack of books from the library and, uh, says [CHUCKLES.]
He says that, uh, he doesn't hang with quitters.
And he stayed for three days until I finished.
Look, I appreciate-- But somewhere between then and now, Dylan turned into what he hated.
He's been through hell and he's gonna appreciate this a lot more than the pimply-faced freshman who's parents are forcing him to come.
You know, I think you get him back on track, he'd be unstoppable.
Anyway, the essay's great.
You should give it a read before you throw it away.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
"Except for a cavalcade of lummoxes passing as models, Now Wear This reopening made a splash.
Kelly Taylor and Donna Martin are two up-and-comers who are here to stay.
' Sutton's drink must have been spiked.
He never drools like this.
Now all we need are the thumbs-up from the New York buyers.
They're supposed to call Donna later today.
Here you go.
For services rendered.
May I be candid? - You have killer publicist in your blood.
- Thank you, I think.
Think about this.
Our company has an opening.
Interested? Ha, ha.
If you'd asked me two days ago, maybe, but, for now, I'm happy here.
Our loss.
Hmm.
Have you seen my players' book? No.
I could have sworn it was in my purse.
Must have left it in the car, ciao.
- Hi.
- Bye.
Good morning.
Good morning.
- And you're smiling.
- Mm-hm.
Closure feels good.
And a-- Add a little dash of success.
- No more feeling trapped? - No.
- Well, how about now? - No.
- How about now? - Mm-mm.
Nice to see you again.
Thanks for your help.
Yeah.
And good luck with your fitness venture.
Well, thank you.
STEVE: Got a major leak going on here.
Can you hand me that monkey wrench, please? Steve, the only tool you know how to use is the Yellow Pages.
Well, that was before I bought that how-to book.
I gotta brush up on my handyman skills.
Not bad for a future father and husband, huh? - I'm turning down your proposal.
- What? Marriage should be about love, not duty, you know? And although your asking me was the perfect thing to do, I can't help feeling like it was for the wrong reason.
You accepted.
You looked me right in the eye and said yes.
Because I'm scrambling for anything stable.
I don't get it.
I put my best foot forward and you push me away.
That's my point exactly is I don't wanna push anything.
- You know, I'm confused.
- And finally, I'm not.
Let's get married.
Steve, I said no.
Please respect that.
I can't win with you, can l? - Steve.
- Just go.
Go.
- Bad day? - Heh.
Been worse.
I think I got something for that.
Hey.
Hey.
The New York buyers didn't come through, huh? Yeah, too, uh, similar to a collection they already had.
- I'm sorry.
- Thanks.
So where's Cherise? Well, we, um-- We sort of broke up.
Really? You want some company? - Yeah.
- All right.
Thanks.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Hey, you know who called me today? That idiot, Lecksis, from the Admissions office.
- He says I got in.
- Hmm.
He also said some pesky kid kept stopping by on my behalf.
Yeah? Well, don't get too misty.
If that's the way you want it.
DAVlD: "l slide by because I can.
' Where'd you get my essay? I made myself a copy.
It makes a great bookmark.
"l blow through people, I cheat myself.
And the only outcome after four years is sitting here thinking up lies that will persuade you to let me in.
I can't, so here's the truth.
College won't fix what's wrong, but it'll get me closer.
I'm out of options.
I'm open to anything and I'm ready to contribute.
' Why don't you show us all you weren't lying?
