Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s10e14 Episode Script
I'm Using You 'Cause I Like You
- Feel those biceps, baby.
- Hee-hee.
That's five straight days of gym time.
Oh, yeah, dude.
You're getting huge.
Yeah, well, it's the only good thing about my suspension from practising.
Think of it as a vacation.
- A very unpaid, unfulfilling one.
- Aw - Oh, it was in.
DAVlD: It was right there.
- What is going on here? DONNA: Hee-hee.
Since we're both home alone on a perfect date night-- Again.
We've, uh, instituted the Losers' Club.
It's more of a support group really.
We talk about being single.
Properties of being single.
In fact, Matt, we were just discussing - how you've been holding out on us.
- Yeah, Matt.
Yeah, I'm sure you know a few hunkie corporate lawyers.
Stenographer.
What's going on? Ah, fix ups.
Right.
Well, I'll thumb through the Rolodex tomorrow.
Until then, goodnight, losers.
Hey, members are the only people that are allowed to use that term, all right? - Oh, Kel? - What? Everardo stopped by the store today, and he wanted me to ask you if you've talked to Matt yet.
- Oh.
I totally forgot.
- Courtyard janitor Everardo? He hurt his back at his day job last year.
I told him maybe you could give him some legal advice.
- Technically, I can't.
- Not even a conversation? He could really use your help.
All right, well, I have to pick up some stuff at the office tomorrow so tell him to stop by then.
Okay, all aboard.
[KELLY SCREAMS.]
Ooh, good night.
Catch you in the gym, David.
[DONNA & DAVlD CHUCKLE.]
- Don't they just make you wanna? - Yep.
[GROANS.]
- Nice.
- Nice one.
- Sailed right in.
Oh.
- Oh.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
GlNA: Hey, Mercedes, what's up? [CAMERA CLlCKlNG.]
Honey, Jennifer Lopez just asked me where I got my shoes.
[GlNA GlGGLES.]
Come on, what's wrong with you? We're at the opening of the coolest club in Los Angeles.
I don't know why you invited me if you're gonna be all grouchy.
The invitation said "plus one.
' You're beautiful.
Check out Noah and his tragic posse.
The, uh, tab is $1,500, buddy.
How are you planning on paying for that? Yeah, I set up an account with Joe, under the name Dylan McKay.
Someone's looking for a boyfriend.
Who's she? I don't know, she's a friend of Noah's.
A friend of Noah's? They each have their own bottle of Cristal.
I sent that over.
Free champagne for strangers and compliments for me.
What's with all the generosity? It's easy to be nice to people you don't care about.
I meant the champagne.
[CAMERA CLlCKS.]
- Names? - Uh Gina Kincaid, Dylan McKay.
- You two together? - Current status unknown.
REPORTER: Got it.
You can take me off your guest list.
Hi-Bar.
Heard you have to sell your first born to get in there.
He and Dylan are hanging out with the lamest, trendiest crowd.
I'm worried about him.
He's not returning my calls.
- Is he okay? - Yeah, he's just He's enjoying his role as social chair.
Oh, you and Dylan look cosy.
GlNA: That was a second before I left.
I am not getting sucked back in again by him.
He does that.
Oh, I guess you know that.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Oh, look, it's only 9::30 and already I'm compelled to tell you to shut up.
Donna, I'm going to the post office.
When you get back, we have to talk about resigning the store's lease.
It's due the end of the week.
- Are they still pushing for three years? - Mm, I tried for shorter, no deal.
- We'll talk about it tonight.
- Okay.
- Bye.
DONNA: Bye.
So that's what Matt's doing with his suspension time? - He's pimping out his friends? - I have to meet people somehow.
And by the way, sister setups are completely welcomed.
Yeah? Hi.
Uh, I was just paged and my cell is dead.
- Would you mind? - A phone? Right there, heh.
[GlNA CHUCKLES.]
[LlNE RlNGS.]
MAN: Is that Jerry? - This is Jerry.
MAN: MTR Net-- JERRY: MTR Net, what? MAN: They want in on the IPO.
- [WHlSPERS.]
You have a pen? MAN: You there? - [lN NORMAL VOlCE.]
I'm here.
MAN: Great.
They wanna meet today.
They want in, let them in.
I can fly up to Palo Alto tomorrow if need be.
MAN: Great.
I'll talk to them.
- Right.
Thanks so much.
- I'm Donna, by the way.
- Jerry Young.
Hi.
- I'm Gina.
Hi, ha, ha.
- Hi.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Thanks again.
You wanna try something on? We have men's sweaters and I should really get going.
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
GlNA: See you.
- Bye.
This is gonna seem really forward.
Are you free tonight? - Free? Yeah, I'm free.
- Heh, that's an understatement.
This is her phone number.
Her last name is Martin.
- Tonight it is.
I'll call you.
- Great.
[GlNA SQUEALS.]
- Did that just happen? - Yes, thanks to me.
Hey, let's call Matt and tell him he's been replaced.
JANET: Before I hire a nanny, I want you to meet my husband.
He's doing a stupid alien thing for his tabloid paper.
Just so you know, this is going to be an everyday occurrence.
Heh, fine with me.
I love tabloids.
- Bye, guys.
STEVE: Bye.
Have a nice day now.
- So when does she start? - She doesn't.
Why not? Her credentials are amazing.
I think we should bring her back in for a second interview.
If you guys are going to force me to be superficial and catty, so be it.
- Darby is cute.
- So? I hate cute, okay? I hate her cute, perky little bob.
And her perky little smile.
And her perky boobs.
- Ha, ha.
JANET: She's annoying.
I just don't wanna share my house and my child with her, okay? - We're not hiring Darby.
- Honey, that doesn't make sense.
Wait a second, are you worried that I'd fool around with the nanny? Get over yourself.
Oh, so wait.
Now you're saying she wouldn't be attracted to me.
Of course, she would, honey.
And so will the ladies from Grandmas And More.
They place retirees with young families, and that's who we're gonna use.
And, Durning, you're dripping on my floor.
Sorry.
[LAUGHS MANlACALLY.]
- Hey, Dylan.
Come eat with me.
- I'm kind of in a rush, Kel.
You can eat and leave.
[SlGHS.]
Humph.
I haven't seen you since Maddy's baptism.
How are things? - Good.
Busy.
- Yeah, I know.
Club hopping.
Well, then you needn't ask.
Gina showed us the picture in The Chronicle.
Who's the new crowd? - I don't know.
Just people.
- People.
Hmm.
Um, listen, we were all thinking about going up to the Hollywood sign.
Donna and David haven't been there since graduation.
- You wanna come? - I think I'll pass.
- How about next week? - Probably busy.
[SCOFFS.]
- If you're too busy for us-- - I'm a busy guy.
- Can I get some service here, please? - Oh, hey, I need to talk to you.
You know what, ladies? I'm not really in the mood for conversation.
- I came here for a tuna melt.
- Then I won't keep you.
Oh, well, I'll see you-- I've watched you do that a thousand times and it just gets more and more satisfying.
- I'll see you.
- No, wait.
I wanna apologise about last night, because my old agent called.
- You know Mia Stockman, right? - No.
Sure you do.
She's the ex-Wimbledon champ.
You know, the one who's opening up the chain of fitness clubs in L.
A.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
She's looking for female athletes to help with the, uh, publicity thing.
And she saw this.
Guess what I'd get in return for my spokesman duties? A cut of the profits.
We're having a meeting at the end of the week to iron out the details.
So you wanna thank me now, or you wanna thank me later? Well, I was thinking that maybe, you know, we could hang out at the After Dark because I heard that Noah booked Nu Flavor.
Hmm, I don't know.
I got some people coming by.
Oh, good.
So you mean that we could hang out with you and 50 of your closest friends again? [CHUCKLES.]
- You wanna go or not? - Pick me up at 1 0.
According to your initial complaint, Williams Foods refused to remove any of the surplus shipping crates from the stockroom.
I said it was dangerous.
They said it wasn't none of my business, until they fell.
Okay, now, that was last January and I'm not seeing any motions ever filed on your behalf.
I had some other crook lawyer telling me that we could both retire if I pretended I couldn't work.
I said no, so they dropped me.
Everardo, do you know what a statute of limitations is? It's a window of time allowed for someone to file a case.
Now, in on-the-job injuries, that window was one year.
- Yours is up in two days.
- Man, my back keeps getting worse.
I already made a dozen calls to other attorneys and no one is available for a referral.
I didn't want another attorney anyway.
You seem hardworking, honest.
All I wanna do is pay my hospital bills.
Everardo, I can't take the case.
I'm sorry.
That's what the manager at Williams said too.
Look what "sorry" got me.
[SlGHS.]
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Can we talk? Jerry stood me up.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Who's Jerry? - Jerry.
Jerry's this gorgeous mystery guy that came into the store today, borrowed the phone, promised he'd call me, and I was gonna have his kids.
Oh, I mean, not today, but after we got married on some beach in Mexico.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
What's this? Oh, I was trying to find out how certification for teen counselling works.
Hmm, something tells me my name is gonna be the only one on the store lease.
I was just exploring my options.
Do you remember when you, me and Brenda spent the beginning of our junior year at West Beverly making sure that our class schedules matched? Yes.
I ended up with Mr.
Silvera's geometry.
For the first time, we all went our different ways.
- We cried for like a week.
- Ha, ha, but we survived.
You've been thinking about this for a long time.
You'll be fine on your own.
So will l.
- Will we always be friends? - Of course.
I mean all of us.
I ran into Dylan today and he made it very clear that he wants nothing to do with me.
Yeah, Noah's been doing the same thing.
It just makes me sad.
Well, a lot of good things are happening too.
You found this great guy and you're engaged.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, look at this.
I found that under my bed.
[DONNA CHUCKLES.]
- Check out Dylan's hair.
- Ha, ha, look at Steve.
Oh, my God, Steve Sanders is a father.
[SlGHS.]
- We've all been friends for so long.
- Too long to just let go.
I don't think I have any more questions.
Although I do want that recipe for banana bread.
Of course.
Ha, ha, so I'll just wait to hear from you? Um, well, we've made our decision, Angie.
You're hired.
Wonderful.
Um, I wonder if I could see the little dear? Oh, of course.
Are you sure about this? She smells like VapoRub.
There's our girl.
ANGlE: Oh, hi.
Oh, excellent.
The dimensions are perfect.
Now, when can we start the smudging? Smudging? Oh, I'll cleanse the room with a bundle of smouldering sage.
That way no demons can enter.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
Um, Angie, I don't think we'll be needing your services after all.
- Or your smudging.
- Heh, so you say.
I'll see myself out.
[STEVE SlGHS.]
Okay, so I'll call the agency and have them send over another stack of resumes.
We don't have time.
You have an article due, and I'm three days behind in getting this issue laid out.
And you can shove the banana-bread recipe.
- Great.
- Fine.
Hire that damn Darby.
STEVE: Hello, Maddy.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Guess who I talked to last night.
Matt's friend Chrissy.
A lawyer named Chrissy? How does she get any clients? First thing that comes to mind is Three's Company.
She finished law school at 23.
- Geek.
- She's really funny.
How cool is this? She surfs every morning.
So she's funny and smart and successful.
- And thank you, Matt.
- Yeah, we're meeting tonight.
That's great.
That's really good for you.
- Because Jerry didn't call me.
- Oh, no? No.
Completely blew me off.
So let's not talk about Chrissy.
So I guess the Losers' Club is down to one and I'm feeling a candy binge coming on.
Are you just here to gloat? Uh, no.
Actually I'm looking for Noah.
I was wondering if you've seen him.
When he moved in, he said he'd pay half the utilities and I'm kind of hoping to collect.
No, he's avoiding me, heh.
Gina said he's been going out a lot though.
Do you know if he's drinking? Honestly, I haven't really seen him in action enough to be able to say.
Donna, I am so sorry about last night.
My board meeting ran late.
Oh, hi.
I'm sorry we're, uh, closed for lunch.
Brunch, whatever.
- You must be Jerry.
I'm David.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- I'm in big trouble, huh? A little bit, yeah.
Donna, last night, the moment my meeting was over, I ran to get in my car, the sprinklers came on.
Totally nailed me.
When I finally tried to reach you, this is what I found in my pocket.
The ink ran everywhere.
If it makes you feel any better, people thought I wet my pants.
[DAVlD CHUCKLES.]
- You gotta give him credit for trying.
- David.
You, I like.
- Oh, good.
DONNA: Heh.
Can I make it up to you? Fine.
Here is my number again.
Along with a waterproof laundry pen.
It's a gift.
Tonight? Tonight.
- David.
- Jerry.
- That was Jerry, heh.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey.
- Hi.
What happened? I was looking forward to the pasta primavera.
Yeah, so was l.
But I can't stop staring at this cookbook.
- I talked to Donna today.
- Mm-hm? I'm out of the store.
Really? How'd she handle it? - She was very supportive.
- That great, let's go out and celebrate.
Yeah, now I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life.
You can agonise on our way to Orso.
I'll grab your coat.
Why are you so late? Uh, well, I was on a conference call with the attorneys at Williams Foods discussing Everardo Perez, my new client.
Matt, you're suspended.
You could get in trouble for that.
No, it'll be fine.
Besides, I persuaded them to mediate at their offices tomorrow.
- What if the Bar finds out? - They're not gonna.
Mediation is different from litigation.
No courtrooms involved, very low profile.
No one will ever know.
- So you're risking your career? - Everardo needs me.
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and sign that lease because we need some kind of security-- Kelly, listen to me.
You don't belong at that store anymore.
Okay? I will take care of us while you figure out what's next.
- I know that-- - And no more excuses.
- Okay? I want you to trust me.
- Okay.
Let's go eat.
All right? [ALL CH UCKLE.]
SHANE: It's quite the party limo, thanks.
Having fun? - Sure.
The more the merrier.
- Yeah.
What do we got here? - Ooh, share the wealth.
Come on.
- Hey, not in my car.
What? Heh, last week we're having sex on your wet bar, and now you're acting like my dad? Nice.
Nice girl.
Come on, we need some champagne.
- We need something going here.
SHANE: Pop that bad boy open.
Come on.
- Yeah! Whoo! Woo-hoo! SHANE: There we go.
- Yes.
- No! [ALL CHEERlNG AND LAUGHlNG.]
SHANE: Yeah! Come on.
[WOMAN CHUCKLES.]
- Noah, hey, I need to talk to you.
NOAH: I can't.
I'll see you inside.
That was my roommate.
- He's a popular guy.
- Yeah.
Do I look like a spokesperson to you now? Well, actually I think Mia would be proud.
Grace under pressure and all that.
Go inside, you're gonna miss the band.
I don't want your coat.
- I can wait.
Come here.
There you go.
- Dylan, that's not helping.
That's not how you pat a girl's face.
You're gonna have to go inside because I'm not gonna go in like this.
You know, I don't even wanna go in with you.
What do you think about that? [DYLAN SlGHS.]
Hey, Fred.
How about I take a ride in the car and you go get yourself some dinner? - My treat.
- Yeah, right.
I just paid off this car.
Let me rephrase that.
Hey, Fred, how about you go get some dinner, I give you 1,000 bucks.
You've got till midnight.
Okay.
So come on, you feel like a little joyride? - No, I don't feel like a little joyride.
- Come on, let's-- No, come on.
- Let's take a little joyride.
- I don't wanna go on a joyride.
- lt'll be fun.
It'll be fun.
- Well, let me put your coat on.
[DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
My, uh, company does headhunting via the web.
We're, um, getting ready to go public.
- That's huge.
- I know.
I keep waiting for someone to knock on my office door and say, "We were just kidding.
Go back to your programming job in Van Nuys.
' [DONNA CHUCKLES.]
Would you mind if I kissed you? [PAGER BEEPS.]
Oh, come on.
- It's my secretary.
I'll be right back.
- Okay.
All right, let's hear it for Nu Flavor.
Come on.
[ALL CHEERlNG.]
[SlNGlNG.]
Through the storm And through the rain Through the joy And through the pain I promise to love you Till the end of time And I want you to promise That you'll always be mine [l N U N lSON.]
I promise to love you Stay by your side Place no one above you You will always be mine I'll never hurt you I'll never lie Promise to protect you Always stay by your side Baby, baby, can't you see That from the first time I saw you I'm in love And now I've gotta let you know How I feel What? Donna and Jerry sitting in a tree.
- Shut up.
- Ha, ha.
But I will admit to a strong and immediate connection.
- Yeah? - Mm-hm.
You think I should go talk to Noah? No, don't bother.
He already blew me off.
I gotta get back to Chrissy.
- How is she? DAVlD: Get this.
I get to her house, she's not ready.
So she sits me down on the couch, puts the game on and offers me a cold beer.
- Oh, you're pretty much in love.
- Yep.
Pretty much.
You know, uh, I say we move to disband the whole Losers' Club.
- I definitely second that.
- Good.
Promise to protect you Always stay by your side Till the end of time So how do you think this big boy'll do on Mulholland? So is that who you replaced me with? That worn-out skank with a coke spoon up her nose.
That was just a one-time thing.
Right, that's why you spent every single night with her and her friends.
You know they're just using you for your money, right? Wait, heh.
- Is Noah your new best friend? - Hardly.
Maybe I just needed a break from people who make demands on me.
Oh, like who, Dylan? Who makes demands on you? Everybody.
Steve and Janet are constantly-- - Yeah, they're horrible.
-bitching I'm not a good godfather.
Kelly just sits and waits for me to make a mistake.
And then there's young David who spent the last few months preaching - how I don't treat you good enough.
- Well? Those people, they don't give me anything.
I know that.
They don't expect anything.
Oh, they expect a free ride and you give it to them.
That's only money.
And I'm done talking about it.
- Will you take me home? - Yeah.
Great.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
[SlREN WAlLlNG.]
Aw, damn it.
Well, pull over.
All right, just be cool.
Just relax.
Hi, heh.
Licence and registration.
Well, yeah, I do.
I got a licence but, uh, the car's a loaner.
Would you both please exit the vehicle? Yeah.
OFFlCER: Anyone in back? DYLAN: Uh, no, it's just us.
Here, look.
OFFlCER: That's a lot of cocaine.
- That is not ours.
OFFlCER: Of course not.
Would you step over to the vehicle and clasp your hands behind your head? [DYLAN GROANS.]
- Excuse me.
OFFlCER: The right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney To have the attorney present during questioning Hey, there.
Nice jacket.
Going somewhere? Well, well, well.
If it isn't Eligible Bachelorette Number 1.
Sounds like you and David hit it off.
David's great.
Thanks for the introduction.
I'm gonna put that on the backburner until I get something resolved.
- Oh, yeah? With who? - With the guy who introduced us.
Last year, I was appointed to the Bar's ethics committee.
Yeah, I know.
I sent you that beefcake calendar and a bottle of Blue Nun, remember? That was funny.
But that's not why I'm here.
David casually mentioned that you were still practising.
- A workman's-comp case.
- Really? Well, maybe he misunderstood my level of involvement.
Are you helping this guy or not? If you so much as lick a stamp on his behalf, I have to report you on violating your suspension.
I'm sure that would be tough for you, Chrissy, since we're friends and all.
And as your friend, I am asking you to not put me in that position.
If you're involved in this, get out.
[SCOFFS.]
I hear you, Chrissy.
Loud and clear.
- All right, well, thanks for stopping by.
- See you.
GlNA: Just listen to me.
I would never lie to a police officer.
The car, we borrowed it, you know? The drugs definitely were not ours.
The car was in your control.
That equals possession.
You're awfully quiet.
- Did you get in touch with Matt? - He's suspended.
Our lawyer is unavailable.
The instinct is to cut back on the chitchat.
You gonna charge us or what? As a violation of your probation, I could haul you to jail right now.
So why don't you? We've been keeping tabs on your friends.
One of them is trafficking over $2 million a year in narcotics.
We wanna know who he is.
- Would you settle for a she? - I'm listening.
- I don't know her name.
- What do you mean? You make me so sick.
Of course you know her name.
You two can bicker, or I can call your probation officer and he can haul you off to county.
Now you make the decision.
Um Give me an hour.
For now, Maddy can sleep in the bassinet in our room and you can stay in the nursery.
Yeah.
You'll have Wednesday and Friday nights off.
As well as all day Sunday.
Any questions? I don't think so, Mr.
Sanders.
- Oh, please call us Steve and Janet.
- Yeah.
I'll try.
But I was raised to respect my elders.
Darby, we're not your elders.
- When did you go to college? - I finished at CU in '98.
You went to CU? I went to CU.
Well, we probably bumped trays in the cafeteria.
- Maybe.
- Huh, small world.
Large coffee to go.
Hey.
- Good morning.
- Hey, Noah.
Hey.
Oh, um, Noah, meet Darby Shahan.
She's Madeleine's new nanny.
Darby, this is Noah Hunter.
- A pleasure.
NOAH: Yeah.
Why don't l, uh, make myself Darby's welcoming committee and I'll take you out tomorrow night.
There's a great club next door.
Noah, could I talk to you for a second, please? Yeah.
[STEVE CHUCKLES.]
- Don't even think about it.
- I'm just being neighbourly.
I hear you're being neighbourly all over town.
Look at you.
I'm just having fun, Steve.
Remember what it's like to be young and single? Yeah, but do you know how long it took us to find Darby? I can't have you breaking her heart and sending her packing.
You know how sweet and innocent she is? Steve, I will behave.
I promise.
All right, but I want you back by 1.
And no touching.
And you have to stay in group situations at all times.
- Am I making myself clear? - Yes, Grandpa.
He used to live with Steve and he dated a good friend of ours.
He's really sweet.
You'll have a good time.
I'm already nervous.
Really? Don't be.
He seems like he likes you.
That's not it.
I don't wanna make a fool out of myself.
How would you do that? [SCOFFS.]
I'm a little embarrassed to talk about this, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Let me just make this really clear.
Okay? You don't have to do anything on that date that you don't want to.
Trust me, I haven't ever.
All right, um, I'll see you guys later.
Janet.
Darby, I will call you.
- Okay.
- All right.
[ALL CHUCKLE.]
DYLAN: Hey.
- What's your problem? - I was in jail all night.
One of your friends left coke in the limo and a cop found it.
- How's that my fault? - One of your friends is dealing it.
They're not my friends, man.
- It's none of my business.
- I'm saying it is.
What's her name? Come on! The girl.
What's her name? Josie, okay? The one you slept with.
Her last name.
Come on! Noah, give me the name! Oliver.
Josie Oliver.
You didn't here it from me.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
[DYLAN SlGHS.]
- Not now, Kel.
- Dylan, wait.
Donna saw something in The Chronicle.
- Where you arrested last night? - Yeah.
She said they found drugs in your car.
Yes, they did.
But I'm not using them.
So you can cancel the intervention, okay? I'm just here because I care about what happens to you.
No, Kelly, you're here because I don't wanna go to some stupid group picnic at the Hollywood sign.
Don't talk to me that way, Dylan.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
- Hello.
KELLY: Hi.
How was the mediation? Great.
Whole thing took about an hour.
Williams Foods cut Everardo a cheque for 1 0,000 smackeroonies.
KELLY: Oh - Chalk one up for the good guys.
- Congratulations.
I needed some good news.
I've had a bad day.
- Why? What happened? - Nothing new.
Dylan was a jerk.
But I don't wanna ruin the moment talking about him.
- Let's get some coffee.
- All right.
You know you got a message on your machine here? DONNA [ON MACHlNE.]
: Hey, it's me.
I'm leaving to meet Jerry.
Such boyfriend potential there.
Anyway, um, I was gonna mail off the store lease but noticed you forgot to date it next to your signature.
So I fudged it myself.
Is that illegal? I don't know.
Bye.
What was that all about? Thought we agreed you weren't gonna sign.
It was a tough decision.
- Now how long are you stuck here? - Three years.
Three years? What about exploring your options? - I did it for both of us.
- Don't say you did it for both of us because I was very clear on how I felt about this.
Okay, fine.
I did it for me.
I got cold feet.
You happy? No.
I'm not happy.
Kelly, until you stop trying to control things and start having faith that change isn't such a bad thing, then you know what, you're not gonna be happy either.
I love this place.
It's where my grandparents got engaged.
- Are you kidding? - 1 947.
- He was just back from the war.
- Wow.
- Wanna dance? - I'd love to.
- You cheating bastard.
JERRY: Kimberly.
My meeting let out early.
I got home just in time to watch you pull out of the driveway.
- You're seeing someone else? WOMAN: Oh, no, no.
He married someone else.
But not for long.
We're through.
That's for lying to me.
And that's for making me believe in you.
Hey, Chrissy.
Three Williams Foods employees called the Bar this afternoon.
Interesting.
Well, uh, I'm late for an appointment so I gotta-- They were looking for referrals on the heels of a recent $1 0,000 settlement.
- Your settlement, I presume.
- I couldn't drop that client.
- There are always other options.
- Come on, Chrissy.
Would you have had time to squeeze in a mediation for a measly 1 0 grand? No lawyer around was gonna take that case.
You violated my trust.
- And the rules of our profession.
- The trust thing I apologise for.
That's not enough.
I have to report you.
I can't believe Chrissy had your suspension upped to 60 days.
Say "two months.
' sounds shorter.
She's definitely off the invite list.
- And no more setups for David.
- Well, it's not his fault.
Regardless of what happened to me, Everardo still keeps his settlement money, so You're a hero.
[MATT CHUCKLES.]
Keep that in mind when they print my name in the suspensions and probations page of the Bar journal.
Mm, what about your clients? A humiliating letter will go out to them in a few days.
They're free to take their business elsewhere if they want to.
They won't.
I'm kind of having a hard time right now.
All of a sudden, this group that I've known for so long is growing up and friends are pulling away.
I just wanna yank them back in, keep everything the way it was.
Mm-hm.
I think staying at the store is a part of that.
Well, if that's what you need, I'll be supportive.
No, I have to grow up too.
Starting with getting out of that lease.
I've gotta talk to Donna in the morning.
- Did you feel that? - What? - Your life just moved ahead.
- It's kind of scary.
It's like swinging through the air without a safety net.
Well, stick with me, kid.
You'll learn to love it.
I'm cold.
- You're cold? - Mm-hm.
[DONNA GROANS.]
Stop.
There's no way you could have known Jerry was married.
I am never, ever letting strange men in my store again.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why aren't you out with Chrissy tonight? After Matt told me what she did to him, I didn't wanna see her again.
Get this.
She understood.
You know, some weeping or begging would have been nice.
Well, I think funny, successful and athletic are highly overrated.
Highly.
Mm-hm.
[SlGHS.]
What do you wanna do? Wanna get some Chinese food or catch a movie? - I got a better idea.
- Oh.
Open up.
[DONNA GlGGLES.]
- Ow.
- You're bad at this.
- Are those stale? - You didn't get any of them.
- None of them at all.
- I don't know if I want them.
JANET: Fed, changed, and happy.
STEVE: Is that right, Maddy? - I was talking about us.
[STEVE LAUGHS.]
You know that Darby, she's, uh, working out okay.
She's pretty great.
Yeah, she's so great I'm actually rethinking my stand on cute.
Oh, yeah? She, uh, picked up a new dress for her date tonight, at the Beverly Center.
- Really? - Mm-hm.
Well, I had a little conversation with Noah.
He's aware that the nanny is to be seen and not touched.
Thank you.
I don't know why I'm so protective of her.
Well, Darby's like family.
You've bonded.
Yeah.
I guess.
She was so nervous about her date tonight.
[CHUCKLES.]
I hope the Peach Pit After Dark is not too wild for her.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Hey, we've gotta go.
- Oh, no, no, just one more song.
I told Steve I'd have you home by 1.
We'll take the limo.
- You have a limo? - Mm-hm.
Twelve-person stretch, right out front.
- Mm.
Sounds big.
- Heh, heh.
Yeah, it is.
Then I'd love to see it.
Let's go.
Come on.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
MAN [ON TV.]
: --in the Southland, following a local station's investigative report on sanitary conditi-- Yes? Oh, great.
- Hey, did I wake you? - No.
Listen, uh, Noah gave me the name of the dealer, so-- Was it your girlfriend? They dropped the charges.
Good.
That's one less thing I have to worry about.
- What? - Mia Stockman's people called.
- I'm off the gym campaign.
- Why? GlNA: Yesterday's Chronicle.
- Nice picture, right? - So, what's the big deal? I'll call the paper and they'll print a retraction.
I already thought of that brilliant idea, Dylan.
I called Mia.
Seems that she's already given it to Michelle Kwan.
I guess her image is tamer.
More fitness friendly.
I'll tell you what.
You want a gym? - I will buy you a gym.
- No, you won't.
Oh, yes, I will.
I got the money.
Name your price.
You wanna name my price? I really would like you to stay out of my life.
For good, this time.
Because as much as I like having you in it, - you always screw things up for me.
- Gina.
No, I'm not getting sucked back in, Dylan.
Just Just go away.
Good night.
[SlGHS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- What the hell are you doing here? - The maid was turning down your bed.
I hope you don't mind, I ate your chocolates.
Why don't you get out? Cops with search warrants were by my sister's apartment this morning.
- Do you know what that means? - Did you hear what I said? Two kilos of blow went down the L.
A.
sewer system.
I heard you pointed her out, Dylan.
That was a big mistake.
[YAWNS.]
[CAR APPROACHlNG.]
DARBY: You were fantastic.
We gotta pull together, we're two hours late.
Steve is gonna kill me, and he's gonna kill you.
- Let's just keep this between us, okay? - Oh, you better believe it.
Darby, I gotta tell you, that was one heck of a floor routine.
Ha, ha.
You're not so bad yourself, stud.
Oh, my God.
Hey, let's go.
Come on.
- Okay.
Okay, now.
- Wait.
NOAH: Whoo! Hey, come here.
We gotta go.
We're gonna get it.
Come on.
Okay, okay.
- Well - Sorry, we're late.
Lost a contact lens at the club.
- Did you have a nice time, Noah? - Yeah, she's a great girl.
Mm-hm? Well, okay, then.
Yes.
Noah, Noah.
- You seduced her, didn't you? - Steve, I didn't-- Oh, come on, fess up.
Fess up.
You got that "l slept with the nanny" look written all over your face.
Come on, details, details.
- Steve, listen.
- I'm listening.
- We're driving home, okay? - Yeah.
- I'm minding my own business.
- Yeah.
And she wants to pull over to the Mini Mart.
So we do.
She comes back with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
Oh.
I'm thinking, "Where's the ice cream?" Yeah, I'm sure that's the first thing you're thinking.
Come on.
Man, we did things in that limo I have never dreamed of.
- She called me Hercules.
- She called you Hercules? Yeah.
She was a gymnast.
Did you know that? - CU gymnastic team? - Yes.
- Did you say "chocolate syrup"? - And whipped cream too.
Oh, man, ha, ha, that reminds me of this girl I knew in school.
Oh, she was out of control.
She gave me this nasty hickey.
[GASPS.]
It's Darby.
Oh, my God.
What? I did the nanny.
[CHUCKLES.]
You got problems, buddy.
You really do.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
- Hee-hee.
That's five straight days of gym time.
Oh, yeah, dude.
You're getting huge.
Yeah, well, it's the only good thing about my suspension from practising.
Think of it as a vacation.
- A very unpaid, unfulfilling one.
- Aw - Oh, it was in.
DAVlD: It was right there.
- What is going on here? DONNA: Hee-hee.
Since we're both home alone on a perfect date night-- Again.
We've, uh, instituted the Losers' Club.
It's more of a support group really.
We talk about being single.
Properties of being single.
In fact, Matt, we were just discussing - how you've been holding out on us.
- Yeah, Matt.
Yeah, I'm sure you know a few hunkie corporate lawyers.
Stenographer.
What's going on? Ah, fix ups.
Right.
Well, I'll thumb through the Rolodex tomorrow.
Until then, goodnight, losers.
Hey, members are the only people that are allowed to use that term, all right? - Oh, Kel? - What? Everardo stopped by the store today, and he wanted me to ask you if you've talked to Matt yet.
- Oh.
I totally forgot.
- Courtyard janitor Everardo? He hurt his back at his day job last year.
I told him maybe you could give him some legal advice.
- Technically, I can't.
- Not even a conversation? He could really use your help.
All right, well, I have to pick up some stuff at the office tomorrow so tell him to stop by then.
Okay, all aboard.
[KELLY SCREAMS.]
Ooh, good night.
Catch you in the gym, David.
[DONNA & DAVlD CHUCKLE.]
- Don't they just make you wanna? - Yep.
[GROANS.]
- Nice.
- Nice one.
- Sailed right in.
Oh.
- Oh.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
GlNA: Hey, Mercedes, what's up? [CAMERA CLlCKlNG.]
Honey, Jennifer Lopez just asked me where I got my shoes.
[GlNA GlGGLES.]
Come on, what's wrong with you? We're at the opening of the coolest club in Los Angeles.
I don't know why you invited me if you're gonna be all grouchy.
The invitation said "plus one.
' You're beautiful.
Check out Noah and his tragic posse.
The, uh, tab is $1,500, buddy.
How are you planning on paying for that? Yeah, I set up an account with Joe, under the name Dylan McKay.
Someone's looking for a boyfriend.
Who's she? I don't know, she's a friend of Noah's.
A friend of Noah's? They each have their own bottle of Cristal.
I sent that over.
Free champagne for strangers and compliments for me.
What's with all the generosity? It's easy to be nice to people you don't care about.
I meant the champagne.
[CAMERA CLlCKS.]
- Names? - Uh Gina Kincaid, Dylan McKay.
- You two together? - Current status unknown.
REPORTER: Got it.
You can take me off your guest list.
Hi-Bar.
Heard you have to sell your first born to get in there.
He and Dylan are hanging out with the lamest, trendiest crowd.
I'm worried about him.
He's not returning my calls.
- Is he okay? - Yeah, he's just He's enjoying his role as social chair.
Oh, you and Dylan look cosy.
GlNA: That was a second before I left.
I am not getting sucked back in again by him.
He does that.
Oh, I guess you know that.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Oh, look, it's only 9::30 and already I'm compelled to tell you to shut up.
Donna, I'm going to the post office.
When you get back, we have to talk about resigning the store's lease.
It's due the end of the week.
- Are they still pushing for three years? - Mm, I tried for shorter, no deal.
- We'll talk about it tonight.
- Okay.
- Bye.
DONNA: Bye.
So that's what Matt's doing with his suspension time? - He's pimping out his friends? - I have to meet people somehow.
And by the way, sister setups are completely welcomed.
Yeah? Hi.
Uh, I was just paged and my cell is dead.
- Would you mind? - A phone? Right there, heh.
[GlNA CHUCKLES.]
[LlNE RlNGS.]
MAN: Is that Jerry? - This is Jerry.
MAN: MTR Net-- JERRY: MTR Net, what? MAN: They want in on the IPO.
- [WHlSPERS.]
You have a pen? MAN: You there? - [lN NORMAL VOlCE.]
I'm here.
MAN: Great.
They wanna meet today.
They want in, let them in.
I can fly up to Palo Alto tomorrow if need be.
MAN: Great.
I'll talk to them.
- Right.
Thanks so much.
- I'm Donna, by the way.
- Jerry Young.
Hi.
- I'm Gina.
Hi, ha, ha.
- Hi.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Thanks again.
You wanna try something on? We have men's sweaters and I should really get going.
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
GlNA: See you.
- Bye.
This is gonna seem really forward.
Are you free tonight? - Free? Yeah, I'm free.
- Heh, that's an understatement.
This is her phone number.
Her last name is Martin.
- Tonight it is.
I'll call you.
- Great.
[GlNA SQUEALS.]
- Did that just happen? - Yes, thanks to me.
Hey, let's call Matt and tell him he's been replaced.
JANET: Before I hire a nanny, I want you to meet my husband.
He's doing a stupid alien thing for his tabloid paper.
Just so you know, this is going to be an everyday occurrence.
Heh, fine with me.
I love tabloids.
- Bye, guys.
STEVE: Bye.
Have a nice day now.
- So when does she start? - She doesn't.
Why not? Her credentials are amazing.
I think we should bring her back in for a second interview.
If you guys are going to force me to be superficial and catty, so be it.
- Darby is cute.
- So? I hate cute, okay? I hate her cute, perky little bob.
And her perky little smile.
And her perky boobs.
- Ha, ha.
JANET: She's annoying.
I just don't wanna share my house and my child with her, okay? - We're not hiring Darby.
- Honey, that doesn't make sense.
Wait a second, are you worried that I'd fool around with the nanny? Get over yourself.
Oh, so wait.
Now you're saying she wouldn't be attracted to me.
Of course, she would, honey.
And so will the ladies from Grandmas And More.
They place retirees with young families, and that's who we're gonna use.
And, Durning, you're dripping on my floor.
Sorry.
[LAUGHS MANlACALLY.]
- Hey, Dylan.
Come eat with me.
- I'm kind of in a rush, Kel.
You can eat and leave.
[SlGHS.]
Humph.
I haven't seen you since Maddy's baptism.
How are things? - Good.
Busy.
- Yeah, I know.
Club hopping.
Well, then you needn't ask.
Gina showed us the picture in The Chronicle.
Who's the new crowd? - I don't know.
Just people.
- People.
Hmm.
Um, listen, we were all thinking about going up to the Hollywood sign.
Donna and David haven't been there since graduation.
- You wanna come? - I think I'll pass.
- How about next week? - Probably busy.
[SCOFFS.]
- If you're too busy for us-- - I'm a busy guy.
- Can I get some service here, please? - Oh, hey, I need to talk to you.
You know what, ladies? I'm not really in the mood for conversation.
- I came here for a tuna melt.
- Then I won't keep you.
Oh, well, I'll see you-- I've watched you do that a thousand times and it just gets more and more satisfying.
- I'll see you.
- No, wait.
I wanna apologise about last night, because my old agent called.
- You know Mia Stockman, right? - No.
Sure you do.
She's the ex-Wimbledon champ.
You know, the one who's opening up the chain of fitness clubs in L.
A.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
She's looking for female athletes to help with the, uh, publicity thing.
And she saw this.
Guess what I'd get in return for my spokesman duties? A cut of the profits.
We're having a meeting at the end of the week to iron out the details.
So you wanna thank me now, or you wanna thank me later? Well, I was thinking that maybe, you know, we could hang out at the After Dark because I heard that Noah booked Nu Flavor.
Hmm, I don't know.
I got some people coming by.
Oh, good.
So you mean that we could hang out with you and 50 of your closest friends again? [CHUCKLES.]
- You wanna go or not? - Pick me up at 1 0.
According to your initial complaint, Williams Foods refused to remove any of the surplus shipping crates from the stockroom.
I said it was dangerous.
They said it wasn't none of my business, until they fell.
Okay, now, that was last January and I'm not seeing any motions ever filed on your behalf.
I had some other crook lawyer telling me that we could both retire if I pretended I couldn't work.
I said no, so they dropped me.
Everardo, do you know what a statute of limitations is? It's a window of time allowed for someone to file a case.
Now, in on-the-job injuries, that window was one year.
- Yours is up in two days.
- Man, my back keeps getting worse.
I already made a dozen calls to other attorneys and no one is available for a referral.
I didn't want another attorney anyway.
You seem hardworking, honest.
All I wanna do is pay my hospital bills.
Everardo, I can't take the case.
I'm sorry.
That's what the manager at Williams said too.
Look what "sorry" got me.
[SlGHS.]
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Can we talk? Jerry stood me up.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Who's Jerry? - Jerry.
Jerry's this gorgeous mystery guy that came into the store today, borrowed the phone, promised he'd call me, and I was gonna have his kids.
Oh, I mean, not today, but after we got married on some beach in Mexico.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
What's this? Oh, I was trying to find out how certification for teen counselling works.
Hmm, something tells me my name is gonna be the only one on the store lease.
I was just exploring my options.
Do you remember when you, me and Brenda spent the beginning of our junior year at West Beverly making sure that our class schedules matched? Yes.
I ended up with Mr.
Silvera's geometry.
For the first time, we all went our different ways.
- We cried for like a week.
- Ha, ha, but we survived.
You've been thinking about this for a long time.
You'll be fine on your own.
So will l.
- Will we always be friends? - Of course.
I mean all of us.
I ran into Dylan today and he made it very clear that he wants nothing to do with me.
Yeah, Noah's been doing the same thing.
It just makes me sad.
Well, a lot of good things are happening too.
You found this great guy and you're engaged.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, look at this.
I found that under my bed.
[DONNA CHUCKLES.]
- Check out Dylan's hair.
- Ha, ha, look at Steve.
Oh, my God, Steve Sanders is a father.
[SlGHS.]
- We've all been friends for so long.
- Too long to just let go.
I don't think I have any more questions.
Although I do want that recipe for banana bread.
Of course.
Ha, ha, so I'll just wait to hear from you? Um, well, we've made our decision, Angie.
You're hired.
Wonderful.
Um, I wonder if I could see the little dear? Oh, of course.
Are you sure about this? She smells like VapoRub.
There's our girl.
ANGlE: Oh, hi.
Oh, excellent.
The dimensions are perfect.
Now, when can we start the smudging? Smudging? Oh, I'll cleanse the room with a bundle of smouldering sage.
That way no demons can enter.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
Um, Angie, I don't think we'll be needing your services after all.
- Or your smudging.
- Heh, so you say.
I'll see myself out.
[STEVE SlGHS.]
Okay, so I'll call the agency and have them send over another stack of resumes.
We don't have time.
You have an article due, and I'm three days behind in getting this issue laid out.
And you can shove the banana-bread recipe.
- Great.
- Fine.
Hire that damn Darby.
STEVE: Hello, Maddy.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Guess who I talked to last night.
Matt's friend Chrissy.
A lawyer named Chrissy? How does she get any clients? First thing that comes to mind is Three's Company.
She finished law school at 23.
- Geek.
- She's really funny.
How cool is this? She surfs every morning.
So she's funny and smart and successful.
- And thank you, Matt.
- Yeah, we're meeting tonight.
That's great.
That's really good for you.
- Because Jerry didn't call me.
- Oh, no? No.
Completely blew me off.
So let's not talk about Chrissy.
So I guess the Losers' Club is down to one and I'm feeling a candy binge coming on.
Are you just here to gloat? Uh, no.
Actually I'm looking for Noah.
I was wondering if you've seen him.
When he moved in, he said he'd pay half the utilities and I'm kind of hoping to collect.
No, he's avoiding me, heh.
Gina said he's been going out a lot though.
Do you know if he's drinking? Honestly, I haven't really seen him in action enough to be able to say.
Donna, I am so sorry about last night.
My board meeting ran late.
Oh, hi.
I'm sorry we're, uh, closed for lunch.
Brunch, whatever.
- You must be Jerry.
I'm David.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- I'm in big trouble, huh? A little bit, yeah.
Donna, last night, the moment my meeting was over, I ran to get in my car, the sprinklers came on.
Totally nailed me.
When I finally tried to reach you, this is what I found in my pocket.
The ink ran everywhere.
If it makes you feel any better, people thought I wet my pants.
[DAVlD CHUCKLES.]
- You gotta give him credit for trying.
- David.
You, I like.
- Oh, good.
DONNA: Heh.
Can I make it up to you? Fine.
Here is my number again.
Along with a waterproof laundry pen.
It's a gift.
Tonight? Tonight.
- David.
- Jerry.
- That was Jerry, heh.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey.
- Hi.
What happened? I was looking forward to the pasta primavera.
Yeah, so was l.
But I can't stop staring at this cookbook.
- I talked to Donna today.
- Mm-hm? I'm out of the store.
Really? How'd she handle it? - She was very supportive.
- That great, let's go out and celebrate.
Yeah, now I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life.
You can agonise on our way to Orso.
I'll grab your coat.
Why are you so late? Uh, well, I was on a conference call with the attorneys at Williams Foods discussing Everardo Perez, my new client.
Matt, you're suspended.
You could get in trouble for that.
No, it'll be fine.
Besides, I persuaded them to mediate at their offices tomorrow.
- What if the Bar finds out? - They're not gonna.
Mediation is different from litigation.
No courtrooms involved, very low profile.
No one will ever know.
- So you're risking your career? - Everardo needs me.
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and sign that lease because we need some kind of security-- Kelly, listen to me.
You don't belong at that store anymore.
Okay? I will take care of us while you figure out what's next.
- I know that-- - And no more excuses.
- Okay? I want you to trust me.
- Okay.
Let's go eat.
All right? [ALL CH UCKLE.]
SHANE: It's quite the party limo, thanks.
Having fun? - Sure.
The more the merrier.
- Yeah.
What do we got here? - Ooh, share the wealth.
Come on.
- Hey, not in my car.
What? Heh, last week we're having sex on your wet bar, and now you're acting like my dad? Nice.
Nice girl.
Come on, we need some champagne.
- We need something going here.
SHANE: Pop that bad boy open.
Come on.
- Yeah! Whoo! Woo-hoo! SHANE: There we go.
- Yes.
- No! [ALL CHEERlNG AND LAUGHlNG.]
SHANE: Yeah! Come on.
[WOMAN CHUCKLES.]
- Noah, hey, I need to talk to you.
NOAH: I can't.
I'll see you inside.
That was my roommate.
- He's a popular guy.
- Yeah.
Do I look like a spokesperson to you now? Well, actually I think Mia would be proud.
Grace under pressure and all that.
Go inside, you're gonna miss the band.
I don't want your coat.
- I can wait.
Come here.
There you go.
- Dylan, that's not helping.
That's not how you pat a girl's face.
You're gonna have to go inside because I'm not gonna go in like this.
You know, I don't even wanna go in with you.
What do you think about that? [DYLAN SlGHS.]
Hey, Fred.
How about I take a ride in the car and you go get yourself some dinner? - My treat.
- Yeah, right.
I just paid off this car.
Let me rephrase that.
Hey, Fred, how about you go get some dinner, I give you 1,000 bucks.
You've got till midnight.
Okay.
So come on, you feel like a little joyride? - No, I don't feel like a little joyride.
- Come on, let's-- No, come on.
- Let's take a little joyride.
- I don't wanna go on a joyride.
- lt'll be fun.
It'll be fun.
- Well, let me put your coat on.
[DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
My, uh, company does headhunting via the web.
We're, um, getting ready to go public.
- That's huge.
- I know.
I keep waiting for someone to knock on my office door and say, "We were just kidding.
Go back to your programming job in Van Nuys.
' [DONNA CHUCKLES.]
Would you mind if I kissed you? [PAGER BEEPS.]
Oh, come on.
- It's my secretary.
I'll be right back.
- Okay.
All right, let's hear it for Nu Flavor.
Come on.
[ALL CHEERlNG.]
[SlNGlNG.]
Through the storm And through the rain Through the joy And through the pain I promise to love you Till the end of time And I want you to promise That you'll always be mine [l N U N lSON.]
I promise to love you Stay by your side Place no one above you You will always be mine I'll never hurt you I'll never lie Promise to protect you Always stay by your side Baby, baby, can't you see That from the first time I saw you I'm in love And now I've gotta let you know How I feel What? Donna and Jerry sitting in a tree.
- Shut up.
- Ha, ha.
But I will admit to a strong and immediate connection.
- Yeah? - Mm-hm.
You think I should go talk to Noah? No, don't bother.
He already blew me off.
I gotta get back to Chrissy.
- How is she? DAVlD: Get this.
I get to her house, she's not ready.
So she sits me down on the couch, puts the game on and offers me a cold beer.
- Oh, you're pretty much in love.
- Yep.
Pretty much.
You know, uh, I say we move to disband the whole Losers' Club.
- I definitely second that.
- Good.
Promise to protect you Always stay by your side Till the end of time So how do you think this big boy'll do on Mulholland? So is that who you replaced me with? That worn-out skank with a coke spoon up her nose.
That was just a one-time thing.
Right, that's why you spent every single night with her and her friends.
You know they're just using you for your money, right? Wait, heh.
- Is Noah your new best friend? - Hardly.
Maybe I just needed a break from people who make demands on me.
Oh, like who, Dylan? Who makes demands on you? Everybody.
Steve and Janet are constantly-- - Yeah, they're horrible.
-bitching I'm not a good godfather.
Kelly just sits and waits for me to make a mistake.
And then there's young David who spent the last few months preaching - how I don't treat you good enough.
- Well? Those people, they don't give me anything.
I know that.
They don't expect anything.
Oh, they expect a free ride and you give it to them.
That's only money.
And I'm done talking about it.
- Will you take me home? - Yeah.
Great.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
[SlREN WAlLlNG.]
Aw, damn it.
Well, pull over.
All right, just be cool.
Just relax.
Hi, heh.
Licence and registration.
Well, yeah, I do.
I got a licence but, uh, the car's a loaner.
Would you both please exit the vehicle? Yeah.
OFFlCER: Anyone in back? DYLAN: Uh, no, it's just us.
Here, look.
OFFlCER: That's a lot of cocaine.
- That is not ours.
OFFlCER: Of course not.
Would you step over to the vehicle and clasp your hands behind your head? [DYLAN GROANS.]
- Excuse me.
OFFlCER: The right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney To have the attorney present during questioning Hey, there.
Nice jacket.
Going somewhere? Well, well, well.
If it isn't Eligible Bachelorette Number 1.
Sounds like you and David hit it off.
David's great.
Thanks for the introduction.
I'm gonna put that on the backburner until I get something resolved.
- Oh, yeah? With who? - With the guy who introduced us.
Last year, I was appointed to the Bar's ethics committee.
Yeah, I know.
I sent you that beefcake calendar and a bottle of Blue Nun, remember? That was funny.
But that's not why I'm here.
David casually mentioned that you were still practising.
- A workman's-comp case.
- Really? Well, maybe he misunderstood my level of involvement.
Are you helping this guy or not? If you so much as lick a stamp on his behalf, I have to report you on violating your suspension.
I'm sure that would be tough for you, Chrissy, since we're friends and all.
And as your friend, I am asking you to not put me in that position.
If you're involved in this, get out.
[SCOFFS.]
I hear you, Chrissy.
Loud and clear.
- All right, well, thanks for stopping by.
- See you.
GlNA: Just listen to me.
I would never lie to a police officer.
The car, we borrowed it, you know? The drugs definitely were not ours.
The car was in your control.
That equals possession.
You're awfully quiet.
- Did you get in touch with Matt? - He's suspended.
Our lawyer is unavailable.
The instinct is to cut back on the chitchat.
You gonna charge us or what? As a violation of your probation, I could haul you to jail right now.
So why don't you? We've been keeping tabs on your friends.
One of them is trafficking over $2 million a year in narcotics.
We wanna know who he is.
- Would you settle for a she? - I'm listening.
- I don't know her name.
- What do you mean? You make me so sick.
Of course you know her name.
You two can bicker, or I can call your probation officer and he can haul you off to county.
Now you make the decision.
Um Give me an hour.
For now, Maddy can sleep in the bassinet in our room and you can stay in the nursery.
Yeah.
You'll have Wednesday and Friday nights off.
As well as all day Sunday.
Any questions? I don't think so, Mr.
Sanders.
- Oh, please call us Steve and Janet.
- Yeah.
I'll try.
But I was raised to respect my elders.
Darby, we're not your elders.
- When did you go to college? - I finished at CU in '98.
You went to CU? I went to CU.
Well, we probably bumped trays in the cafeteria.
- Maybe.
- Huh, small world.
Large coffee to go.
Hey.
- Good morning.
- Hey, Noah.
Hey.
Oh, um, Noah, meet Darby Shahan.
She's Madeleine's new nanny.
Darby, this is Noah Hunter.
- A pleasure.
NOAH: Yeah.
Why don't l, uh, make myself Darby's welcoming committee and I'll take you out tomorrow night.
There's a great club next door.
Noah, could I talk to you for a second, please? Yeah.
[STEVE CHUCKLES.]
- Don't even think about it.
- I'm just being neighbourly.
I hear you're being neighbourly all over town.
Look at you.
I'm just having fun, Steve.
Remember what it's like to be young and single? Yeah, but do you know how long it took us to find Darby? I can't have you breaking her heart and sending her packing.
You know how sweet and innocent she is? Steve, I will behave.
I promise.
All right, but I want you back by 1.
And no touching.
And you have to stay in group situations at all times.
- Am I making myself clear? - Yes, Grandpa.
He used to live with Steve and he dated a good friend of ours.
He's really sweet.
You'll have a good time.
I'm already nervous.
Really? Don't be.
He seems like he likes you.
That's not it.
I don't wanna make a fool out of myself.
How would you do that? [SCOFFS.]
I'm a little embarrassed to talk about this, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Let me just make this really clear.
Okay? You don't have to do anything on that date that you don't want to.
Trust me, I haven't ever.
All right, um, I'll see you guys later.
Janet.
Darby, I will call you.
- Okay.
- All right.
[ALL CHUCKLE.]
DYLAN: Hey.
- What's your problem? - I was in jail all night.
One of your friends left coke in the limo and a cop found it.
- How's that my fault? - One of your friends is dealing it.
They're not my friends, man.
- It's none of my business.
- I'm saying it is.
What's her name? Come on! The girl.
What's her name? Josie, okay? The one you slept with.
Her last name.
Come on! Noah, give me the name! Oliver.
Josie Oliver.
You didn't here it from me.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
[DYLAN SlGHS.]
- Not now, Kel.
- Dylan, wait.
Donna saw something in The Chronicle.
- Where you arrested last night? - Yeah.
She said they found drugs in your car.
Yes, they did.
But I'm not using them.
So you can cancel the intervention, okay? I'm just here because I care about what happens to you.
No, Kelly, you're here because I don't wanna go to some stupid group picnic at the Hollywood sign.
Don't talk to me that way, Dylan.
[ENGlNE REVS.]
- Hello.
KELLY: Hi.
How was the mediation? Great.
Whole thing took about an hour.
Williams Foods cut Everardo a cheque for 1 0,000 smackeroonies.
KELLY: Oh - Chalk one up for the good guys.
- Congratulations.
I needed some good news.
I've had a bad day.
- Why? What happened? - Nothing new.
Dylan was a jerk.
But I don't wanna ruin the moment talking about him.
- Let's get some coffee.
- All right.
You know you got a message on your machine here? DONNA [ON MACHlNE.]
: Hey, it's me.
I'm leaving to meet Jerry.
Such boyfriend potential there.
Anyway, um, I was gonna mail off the store lease but noticed you forgot to date it next to your signature.
So I fudged it myself.
Is that illegal? I don't know.
Bye.
What was that all about? Thought we agreed you weren't gonna sign.
It was a tough decision.
- Now how long are you stuck here? - Three years.
Three years? What about exploring your options? - I did it for both of us.
- Don't say you did it for both of us because I was very clear on how I felt about this.
Okay, fine.
I did it for me.
I got cold feet.
You happy? No.
I'm not happy.
Kelly, until you stop trying to control things and start having faith that change isn't such a bad thing, then you know what, you're not gonna be happy either.
I love this place.
It's where my grandparents got engaged.
- Are you kidding? - 1 947.
- He was just back from the war.
- Wow.
- Wanna dance? - I'd love to.
- You cheating bastard.
JERRY: Kimberly.
My meeting let out early.
I got home just in time to watch you pull out of the driveway.
- You're seeing someone else? WOMAN: Oh, no, no.
He married someone else.
But not for long.
We're through.
That's for lying to me.
And that's for making me believe in you.
Hey, Chrissy.
Three Williams Foods employees called the Bar this afternoon.
Interesting.
Well, uh, I'm late for an appointment so I gotta-- They were looking for referrals on the heels of a recent $1 0,000 settlement.
- Your settlement, I presume.
- I couldn't drop that client.
- There are always other options.
- Come on, Chrissy.
Would you have had time to squeeze in a mediation for a measly 1 0 grand? No lawyer around was gonna take that case.
You violated my trust.
- And the rules of our profession.
- The trust thing I apologise for.
That's not enough.
I have to report you.
I can't believe Chrissy had your suspension upped to 60 days.
Say "two months.
' sounds shorter.
She's definitely off the invite list.
- And no more setups for David.
- Well, it's not his fault.
Regardless of what happened to me, Everardo still keeps his settlement money, so You're a hero.
[MATT CHUCKLES.]
Keep that in mind when they print my name in the suspensions and probations page of the Bar journal.
Mm, what about your clients? A humiliating letter will go out to them in a few days.
They're free to take their business elsewhere if they want to.
They won't.
I'm kind of having a hard time right now.
All of a sudden, this group that I've known for so long is growing up and friends are pulling away.
I just wanna yank them back in, keep everything the way it was.
Mm-hm.
I think staying at the store is a part of that.
Well, if that's what you need, I'll be supportive.
No, I have to grow up too.
Starting with getting out of that lease.
I've gotta talk to Donna in the morning.
- Did you feel that? - What? - Your life just moved ahead.
- It's kind of scary.
It's like swinging through the air without a safety net.
Well, stick with me, kid.
You'll learn to love it.
I'm cold.
- You're cold? - Mm-hm.
[DONNA GROANS.]
Stop.
There's no way you could have known Jerry was married.
I am never, ever letting strange men in my store again.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why aren't you out with Chrissy tonight? After Matt told me what she did to him, I didn't wanna see her again.
Get this.
She understood.
You know, some weeping or begging would have been nice.
Well, I think funny, successful and athletic are highly overrated.
Highly.
Mm-hm.
[SlGHS.]
What do you wanna do? Wanna get some Chinese food or catch a movie? - I got a better idea.
- Oh.
Open up.
[DONNA GlGGLES.]
- Ow.
- You're bad at this.
- Are those stale? - You didn't get any of them.
- None of them at all.
- I don't know if I want them.
JANET: Fed, changed, and happy.
STEVE: Is that right, Maddy? - I was talking about us.
[STEVE LAUGHS.]
You know that Darby, she's, uh, working out okay.
She's pretty great.
Yeah, she's so great I'm actually rethinking my stand on cute.
Oh, yeah? She, uh, picked up a new dress for her date tonight, at the Beverly Center.
- Really? - Mm-hm.
Well, I had a little conversation with Noah.
He's aware that the nanny is to be seen and not touched.
Thank you.
I don't know why I'm so protective of her.
Well, Darby's like family.
You've bonded.
Yeah.
I guess.
She was so nervous about her date tonight.
[CHUCKLES.]
I hope the Peach Pit After Dark is not too wild for her.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Hey, we've gotta go.
- Oh, no, no, just one more song.
I told Steve I'd have you home by 1.
We'll take the limo.
- You have a limo? - Mm-hm.
Twelve-person stretch, right out front.
- Mm.
Sounds big.
- Heh, heh.
Yeah, it is.
Then I'd love to see it.
Let's go.
Come on.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
MAN [ON TV.]
: --in the Southland, following a local station's investigative report on sanitary conditi-- Yes? Oh, great.
- Hey, did I wake you? - No.
Listen, uh, Noah gave me the name of the dealer, so-- Was it your girlfriend? They dropped the charges.
Good.
That's one less thing I have to worry about.
- What? - Mia Stockman's people called.
- I'm off the gym campaign.
- Why? GlNA: Yesterday's Chronicle.
- Nice picture, right? - So, what's the big deal? I'll call the paper and they'll print a retraction.
I already thought of that brilliant idea, Dylan.
I called Mia.
Seems that she's already given it to Michelle Kwan.
I guess her image is tamer.
More fitness friendly.
I'll tell you what.
You want a gym? - I will buy you a gym.
- No, you won't.
Oh, yes, I will.
I got the money.
Name your price.
You wanna name my price? I really would like you to stay out of my life.
For good, this time.
Because as much as I like having you in it, - you always screw things up for me.
- Gina.
No, I'm not getting sucked back in, Dylan.
Just Just go away.
Good night.
[SlGHS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- What the hell are you doing here? - The maid was turning down your bed.
I hope you don't mind, I ate your chocolates.
Why don't you get out? Cops with search warrants were by my sister's apartment this morning.
- Do you know what that means? - Did you hear what I said? Two kilos of blow went down the L.
A.
sewer system.
I heard you pointed her out, Dylan.
That was a big mistake.
[YAWNS.]
[CAR APPROACHlNG.]
DARBY: You were fantastic.
We gotta pull together, we're two hours late.
Steve is gonna kill me, and he's gonna kill you.
- Let's just keep this between us, okay? - Oh, you better believe it.
Darby, I gotta tell you, that was one heck of a floor routine.
Ha, ha.
You're not so bad yourself, stud.
Oh, my God.
Hey, let's go.
Come on.
- Okay.
Okay, now.
- Wait.
NOAH: Whoo! Hey, come here.
We gotta go.
We're gonna get it.
Come on.
Okay, okay.
- Well - Sorry, we're late.
Lost a contact lens at the club.
- Did you have a nice time, Noah? - Yeah, she's a great girl.
Mm-hm? Well, okay, then.
Yes.
Noah, Noah.
- You seduced her, didn't you? - Steve, I didn't-- Oh, come on, fess up.
Fess up.
You got that "l slept with the nanny" look written all over your face.
Come on, details, details.
- Steve, listen.
- I'm listening.
- We're driving home, okay? - Yeah.
- I'm minding my own business.
- Yeah.
And she wants to pull over to the Mini Mart.
So we do.
She comes back with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
Oh.
I'm thinking, "Where's the ice cream?" Yeah, I'm sure that's the first thing you're thinking.
Come on.
Man, we did things in that limo I have never dreamed of.
- She called me Hercules.
- She called you Hercules? Yeah.
She was a gymnast.
Did you know that? - CU gymnastic team? - Yes.
- Did you say "chocolate syrup"? - And whipped cream too.
Oh, man, ha, ha, that reminds me of this girl I knew in school.
Oh, she was out of control.
She gave me this nasty hickey.
[GASPS.]
It's Darby.
Oh, my God.
What? I did the nanny.
[CHUCKLES.]
You got problems, buddy.
You really do.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
