Original subtitles

Where is winter already?

Aw, who needs winter?

Me. I need a season I can sulk and be depressed in.

Don't tell me, you're babysitting tonight

and every video store was out of Dirty Dancing ?

Do you know I had to go

to three different places to find it?

You must have it memorized by now.

Whatever gets you through the night, right?

I mean isn't that what you always say?

[Dylan] That's what I always say.

Hi. I didn't see you.

I saw you.

Brenda? Telephone.

Excuse me.

Probably a very important political call.

Mrs. Ross doesn't need you to babysit tonight.

Katie has chicken pox.

I gotta call Kelly.

[telephone rings]

You rang.

All right, I'll do it.

I'll go out with your dweeb cousin.

That's okay. I convinced Donna to go.

Fine. Whatever you want.

Want to come over?

No, I think I'm going to stay home

and sort my socks.

You don't sound good.

You need a bubble bath.

Yeah, well that's not all I need.

Bye.

Hey dad, check out what we did to the car.

So, where did you learn to work on cars?

From working on cars, same as Brandon.

Brandon tells me you have a Porsche.

Mm-hmm. Now that is a happening car.

You bought it from your paper route earnings?

Something like that, yeah.

Mr. Walsh, would it be okay if I cleaned up a little bit?

Maybe took a shower?

Certainly.

Tell me something, do you take

this thing off first?

In the shower?

It depends on the circumstances, sir.

[shower running]

Brandon, can't you ever shut the door?

I mean it's hot enough in here already.

Sorry.

Uh, no, it's okay.

You, uh, keep popping up on me today.

Yeah.

So you were saying

you're into videotape, huh?

Yeah, I like movies.

You ever see Animal Crackers ?

You know, Marx Brothers?

I think so. On TV.

Oh, it's so much better on the big screen.

It's too bad you're on duty tonight

or you could see what I mean.

Well, actually, my plans got poxed.

You want to come along?

Yeah.

Hi, Dylan.

Hey, how you been?

Great.

Friend of yours?

Well, we used to hang out a little bit.

I would've introduced you guys, but I forgot her name.

Nice.

Wait, it's not my fault.

She keeps changing it

to things like Tanya or Blue

because her real name is something like Gertrude,

or Beatrice,

or Brenda.

That's a mean right hook.

Who do you think she practices on?

[heavy metal song playing]

This sound system is incredible.

I mean, it's like it's alive.

Yeah, you don't just hear it, you can feel it.

Sub-woofers, right?

You got it.

[doorbell rings]

Foodage.

Thanks for letting me

come with you guys.

Alright, play your cards right,

maybe we'll let you come with us again.

What do you think, McKay?

Absolutely!

Absolutely. 100%.

It's a must.

Oh, food.

All right, here it is.

Dig in.

These fries are just like at the hotel.

They are from the hotel.

Ever since dad closed the suite,

Henry sends them to me because he knows I need my fix.

He gave up the suite, what happened?

It's a long story. Hey, pick one. It's your turn.

Okay, okay. What about that?

Okay.

Okay, this?

What is it?

No, no.

Why?

Hey, it's my house.

Look, it's not like it was a date or anything.

I was just tagging along.

Dylan McKay doesn't waste his time on just anybody.

He's known as a man of action.

I swear it was just a friend thing.

I mean, I'm not even his type.

We can work on that.

Let's work on getting me out of health class this semester.

Everybody has to suffer through it.

You can't graduate without it.

Have you gotten to the sex education part yet?

Two weeks.

It's a riot to watch

all the little boys

counting down the days.

Excuse me.

Don't tell me Steve is in your class.

Yes, he's worked his way through the freshman girls.

He's on to the sophomores now.

Bye.

Why does this class have to be co-ed?

It's much better this way.

Why?

Because when they start talking

about sex things with guys around

it gets them in the mood.

David? Scott?

Would you pass these out for me?

Are we taking a quiz?

It's just a consent form.

You can't participate

in the sex education seminars...

without your parents' okay.

Did you ever notice whenever

the subject turns toward sex,

Mr. Kravitz starts playing with his beard?

Ah-choo!

- Bless you. - Bless you.

I hope you feel better.

Come on, it'll be fun.

You can be the nurse

and Dylan can be the orderly.

Thanks, mom.

You don't want us to get sick, do you?

[car horn beeps]

Here he is. Bye guys. I love you.

Bye.

Wait. She's going out alone with that guy?

Apparently.

Terrific.

I take it you're not pleased.

That's an understatement.

His father is known in financial circles

as an unethical bastard

and that's putting it politely.

Why judge Dylan by his father?

In my experience, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[man] Two, please.

What about them?

That's a pick up if I ever saw one.

How can you tell?

Body language. He's available,

she's open to suggestion.

You know a lot about this stuff.

What stuff?

You know, people, couples stuff.

Don't you?

I don't know.

Not really.

What say we shine on this movie?

What did you have in mind?

[Jack] Paul, I said before this is not good enough.

I am not going to tell you again.

You fix that or you're gonna find

another place to work.

Dad.

Dylan.

When did you get back in town?

I need to talk to you.

[Jack] I asked you to do a few simple things

of vital importance to me.

Vital importance?

Yes. Is that too much to ask?

[Dylan] I went to that vault and I sat there

for hours with those students. You didn't call me.

- [Dylan] Where were you? - [Jack] Did it occur to you

that I might be tied up?

The whole world doesn't revolve

around Dylan McKay.

Did it ever? [door slams]

You don't drink, do you?

Only at family reunions.

Come on, don't. You're driving me home.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

You don't have to talk about it.

- Good. - Do you want to take a walk

on the beach or something?

Check out homeless people? Great.

I don't know what happened.

That's right, you don't.

If you'd let me finish...

I have a knack for interrupting things.

I'm real good at interrupting.

And I've had enough noise for one night, okay?

Excuse me, can you get me a taxi?

Forget the taxi.

No, I want a taxi.

No, just come on, damn it!

Stop yelling at me!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Just let me go.

I'm an idiot. Please don't leave.

You're scaring me.

I'm sorry.

Dylan, what happened?

He just gets to me.

He always gets to me.

I don't know what I'm supposed to...

Oh...

It's okay.

Shh. It's okay.

So, after he kicked me out,

we didn't talk for about a year.

It's better now, but it's still no picnic.

I couldn't imagine being cut off like that.

I mean, I tell my parents everything.

Everything?

Well...

Not everything.

Bren, don't tell Brandon I lost my cool, okay?

I won't.

I wouldn't.

So, are you sorry we missed the movie?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, it's not like we're going steady or anything.

Brenda, you had a date, and he asked you out again.

That's dating. That's plural.

Oh, so, what's next?

Do I get pinned or something?

Yeah, preferably to the mattress.

Kelly!

It's a good you're coming over to study tonight.

I can see we have a lot of work to do.

[school bell rings]

Sorry.

Can't wait.

Consent forms, people.

I need them.

You need them.

They're required.

My mom's never going to sign that form.

Why not?

She thinks I'll be getting

the wrong kind of message

at school.

What message are you getting at home?

Your mom has six kids.

There he goes.

Huh?

He's playing with his beard again.

Mr. K., penny for your thoughts.

Dylan, how's it going?

Uh, getting by.

How's the cold?

Better, thanks.

So, how was the movie?

We didn't make the movie.

Hi.

Brenda, hi.

Why didn't you tell me you didn't go to the movie?

What movie?

Oh, that movie.

Right.

That's supposed to be funny?

Sorry.

It's no big deal, is it?

No. No, I guess not.

See you later, Brandon.

Catch you later.

Shelley and Paul went to this spa,

they spent two days soaking in herbal mud,

and ended up completely potatoed.

Potatoed?

As in what?

Baked, mashed, fried?

How about relaxed,

as in ready to face the world?

Hey, come on. You should do it, dad.

Definitely. Brandon's working this weekend.

I have plans. You guys should just go.

What are you doing?

Huh?

What are your plans?

I'm probably going out Friday night

to a movie or something.

With whom?

Dylan.

Is there a problem?

I really don't want you getting involved with him.

Well, it's a little too late for that.

What do you mean?

I mean, I don't want you dating him.

Jump in any time, Brandon.

Well, uh...

He has nothing to say.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

I'll make plans with Kelly instead.

Thanks for dinner.

It's been real.

I have a right to my opinion.

And I have the right to mine.

Which is?

I like Dylan.

You want to do us a favor?

Tell your friend to watch his step.

Dad, I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

unless you want me to.

Brenda?

Didn't you say there was something

you needed me to sign for school?

Oh, yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

Is this course as outmoded

as it was when I was in school?

I don't know.

We haven't gotten to the sex chapter yet.

Oh, this book looks pretty thorough.

It doesn't deal with the most important stuff.

Like what?

Like how it feels in your heart...

When you really want to connect with someone.

When it's the right time...

It's the right person.

It feels wonderful.

You don't think Dylan's the right person either?

Brenda, there's so many things

that go into a relationship.

There's mutual respect and commitment and...

If that connection is meaningful...

It doesn't have to be about sex.

I hate to break this to you, mom,

but it definitely has something to do with it.

- [car horn beeps] - Oh, that's Kelly.

I'm going over to her house to study.

Bye, mom.

Why didn't you stick up for me?

What was I supposed to say, he's a boy scout?

You could've said something.

[Brenda opens and closes the door]

It's like they're in this conspiracy

to take away the most exciting thing

that's happened to me since I moved here.

That's why you're keeping

your date with Dylan and sleeping at my house.

This is going so fast.

We're just talking about it. Wait till you get

to the real thing.

I guess I'm more into the romance angle...

like in the movies.

That's all well and good for the movies.

But you do have protection, right?

Well, no.

Open that drawer.

Basic rule number one...

Never rely on the guy.

Memorize that.

You sound so clinical.

Dear, clinical is what time shall we schedule the procedure.

Kelly, that's awful.

Would you rather sit around

thinking up names?

How about Dylan, Jr. or Brendina?

Alright, I'll take them.

This is not the part I want to think about.

Brenda, if things go well, you won't be thinking at all.

No.

Eat it.

Hey, gentlemen.

You're getting one.

No, no.

Aah!

Get her off me. Oh!

I know it's Friday,

but if you could just bear with me for a few more minutes.

Settling down.

Now, those of you who haven't turned in your consent forms

will not be able to attend next week's special assembly.

- So... - Mr. K?

Is that that special special assembly

where that sex expert is coming?

That's very funny, Steve.

I was just getting to that.

We are fortunate to have Miss Stacy Sloan

coming to address the student body.

Did you say undress the student body?

I'm there.

[Steve laughs]

You didn't get your mom to sign the form?

I don't want to talk about it.

[school bell rings]

Hey Dylan, where you going so fast?

Got to be someplace. What's up?

I was hoping you could help me work on my car.

I'd like to, but my old man got back in town.

He's got... It's a long story.

You don't have time to tell me about it?

- Not really. - But you do have time

to make out with my sister

or is that until next month, when suddenly you won't have

- time for her either. - What's your point?

My point is you better really like her.

She's very romantic, dreamy, and sweet.

She's not going to move on that easily.

Dylan, she's a virgin.

What kind of jerk do you think I am?

Have a nice weekend.

[classic rock song playing]

Okay, okay.

I don't need earrings. No.

- What else do I need? - Shoes.

Shoes, shoes, shoes. Okay.

Here's one.

Here's the other one.

And take my purse.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Okay, okay.

- It looks good. - What do you think?

Yeah?

What do you think?

It's perfect.

Okay.

We'll drop you off at the theater.

Oh, bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

[melancholic and rhythmic song playing]

[gloomy song playing]

Brenda?

You want to talk?

I've been talking to Kelly all night,

and it didn't get me anywhere.

Well, I'm open for the morning shift.

He didn't show up, Brandon.

I was ready to spend the night with him...

and he didn't show up.

What a jerk, huh?

He sure can be.

Not him. Me.

I thought I was special.

You are.

Well, not to him, obviously.

Then finally I called him...

and this man told me he was there

but he wouldn't speak to me.

Brenda.

You can't beat yourself up

over someone like him.

Why do you say that?

I don't know.

I thought he was different, but he doesn't let people in.

I don't understand, Brandon.

We were so there.

Even yesterday on the lawn,

we were together. We were in sync.

I was so happy.

I don't know what happened,

but something happened.

I'm really sorry, Bren.

I have to find out what I did wrong.

I need to know what happened.

Been busy lately, Dylan?

Well, if it isn't the master of tact and diplomacy.

What's going on with you, man?

I know you moved. I went to your old house

they said you didn't leave an address.

It's a long story.

Would you rather tell Brenda?

Don't start that with me, alright?

I got the message. You don't want me

to hurt your sister.

Why is that exactly

what you did?

Just to spite me?

Look, it wasn't because of you, okay?

You gotta believe me, something came up.

It's one thing not to talk to me.

Not gonna cry about it.

But when you do it to her

she feels she did something wrong.

It wasn't her. It had nothing to do with her.

Then why don't you tell her that?

She was so upset all weekend, even stayed home

from school today.

Fine.

It's got nothing to do with her,

it's got nothing to do with me.

Meanwhile, you're not talking to either of us.

Makes a lot of sense.

[energetic song playing]

Good class today, Mr. K.

Thanks so much for telling me.

Now I can die happy.

Need a lift?

I gotta wait for the tow truck.

I'm supposed to be at the airport

to pick up this poor woman in 20 minutes.

That's not a problem. What airline?

Steve, this is the guest speaker for our assembly.

So? Does she bite?

Look, I'd be glad to help,

but if you'd rather wait for a tow truck.

Palm West Air from Chicago.

Stacy Sloan. BelAge Hotel.

Don't screw this up.

You'll owe me.

Thanks so much for everything, Mr. Kravitz.

Well, that's no trouble.

We at West Beverly aim to please.

And please...

Call me Fred.

I can't believe you've been teaching for five years.

You look so young.

Did I say five?

I mean three.

Three years.

The assembly starts at one tomorrow.

- Right? - Right.

I'm due to speak at Beverly High School

in the morning, I should be done by noon.

Those lucky dogs. They get you when you're fresh.

It is draining,

but I'm feeling pretty good these days,

so I should be fine.

Well, great. What time can I pick you up tonight?

Like I said, I'm just going to take it easy,

but you're very sweet.

And very persistent.

And you're the most beautiful guest speaker

we've ever had at West Beverly.

I'm very flattered. Really.

But I'm tired.

Maybe some other time.

["Halfway Home" by Tim Cullen playing]

[song playing louder]

[car approaches]

[song stops abruptly]

I'm not very good at this.

I feel terrible.

You look terrible.

You look great.

You must need glasses.

Can I come in?

I'm sorry.

I know.

You're an idiot.

That's not good enough this time.

I don't know what to say.

Oh, you don't?

You are too much.

You don't tell me where you were or what happened,

but then you expect me to forgive you?

Why don't you just go?

You think I'm proud of myself?

I'm not.

I've been trying to figure

out what to say to you.

Then say it.

Brandon told me you moved.

- You didn't even-- - I didn't show up Friday night

because I had to help my father pack.

He needed to disappear and...

What do you mean?

Where did he go?

Out of the country for a while.

I don't know where.

That way, if I'm subpoenaed,

I don't have anything to tell them.

Subpoenaed?

He found out he's gonna be indicted on some charges.

Not murders or anything.

It's securities fraud.

Things like that.

Dylan.

I've been thinking about you the whole time.

I just had to go do this.

Don't think that I didn't care.

I did.

I do.

I wish you would've called.

I just couldn't.

I called you.

When?

They didn't tell me.

Now I feel terrible.

Aw, don't.

I don't want to make you feel terrible anymore.

How do you want me to feel, Dylan?

What do you want me to feel for you?

You are so warm.

[car approaches]

It's my father.

Jacket.

Dad, hi. You remember Dylan.

Yeah, hi. I was just leaving.

Yeah, I'll tell Brandon you came by.

- Okay. - Bye.

What kind of idiot do you take me for?

Are you going to pretend

that he was here fixing cars?

Why are you so upset?

You want to learn

about your pal there?

His father's exploits would make

a great novel someday.

Maybe he could write it from prison.

Was he arrested?

Not yet.

He skipped town.

Great role model, huh. Some example.

Dad, Dylan is nothing like his father.

He's just trying to get by like the rest of us.

- You deserve better than that. - Like who?

Someone straighter?

Someone younger? Quieter?

For a start.

Dad, those nice boys may be

mild-mannered on the outside,

but mostly what they all think about is sex.

Who said anything about sex? I'm talking about

a person's values, I'm talking about character.

Are you really worried about my character?

Why is it with Brandon you want to make sure

he knew about birth control

but my whole value system is on the line.

It is different with girls.

It just is. You need to know who you're dealing with.

Then let me get to know him.

That's all I want to do.

Is that all?

What do you want me to say?

That I'm going to wait till I get married?

You're so worried, and I haven't even done

anything yet.

I'm not worried.

I don't know if I'm ready...

I mean, if you're ready to...

And if I'm ready first?

Then what?

Should I lie and sneak around?

Or are you going to trust me to know what I'm doing?

[boy on speaker] Health Expo Week ends today

with an assembly after fifth period.

Be there or be square.

I can't believe you actually

said that to your father.

Neither can I,

but it just came out.

What did he say?

Well, it's not like he gave me his blessing,

but at least Dylan is not totally off-limits anymore.

Well, that's cool.

Don't be a wimp. Just come on.

I have to report to study hall.

Okay, fine. Check in, go to the bathroom,

and then meet me around at the front door.

I'll get in trouble.

Why? It's just information.

How's it going to hurt you?

Just take notes for me.

Your mom really has you cowed.

Testing one, two. Testing.

So, if you need help working on the car,

I could do it this weekend.

It's all right. I can handle it.

Somehow, I am always apologizing to you Walsh people.

I'm sorry if it felt like I checked out on you, man.

I guess it bothered me more than I thought.

I'm sorry I opened my big mouth about Brenda.

Would you have felt better if I had asked you first?

About seeing her, I mean?

Are you saying you should have?

You tell me.

Not that I would've done anything different.

Everybody, please.

Hello. Quiet, quiet.

So please welcome our special guest speaker,

Stacy Sloan.

Thank you.

Nice to come in from the cold of Chicago.

Not bad, huh?

BelAge Hotel, room 316.

I had an experience just after I arrived here

that I'd like to share with all of you.

A young man wanted to take me out on the town,

show me around, get to know me.

Timing wasn't right, and I told him that.

It was a shame, too. He was very handsome.

Had incredible blue eyes.

What I didn't tell him

is what I'm going to have

to tell every guy

who's interested in me

for the rest of my life.

That I have AIDS.

What did I miss?

Now you may think you know

all you need to know about AIDS,

and these good people will make sure of that.

They'll tell you how to get tested for it,

how you won't get it. Like from hugging someone,

or sharing their French fries...

and how you can get it.

I'm just here to tell you about one way...

the way I got it.

I was 16.

He was a law student at the university

where I went to summer school.

One weekend,

he arranged a beautiful,

romantic evening for us,

and we made love.

It was my first time.

After a while, we found out we didn't have

much in common,

and we went our separate ways.

He died last year of AIDS.

It's...

It's funny how your battles change.

I used to struggle to stay fashionably thin.

Now some days I'm lucky if I can keep any food down.

And I used to fight with my sister

over who'd get to stay up later.

And now she's yelling at me to get enough rest.

I try not to dwell on the grim statistics,

and they are indeed grim,

but I'm a fighter,

and a talker,

and I will go on fighting

as long as I have something to say to people like you.

Which is this,

you shouldn't have sex because of what friends will think

or because you drink too much one night.

And if you're in love,

and you're going to have sex,

make sure you use a condom and foam.

And know that the only really safe way

to have intercourse

is with someone you're sure who hasn't been exposed.

I'll be around later for questions,

but that's about all I can do for right now.

Hope I didn't get you into too much hot water.

No, I can do that all by myself.

Uh, Stacy...

I'm sorry.

I hope I didn't...

I don't know what I'm trying to say.

Tell me you heard what I was trying to get across,

and I'll go home happy.

I did.

And my offer for dinner's still open

next time you're in town.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, hi, Dylan. Come on in.

I'll see if Brenda's ready.

Dear? Dylan's here.

How are you holding up?

Okay.

I just don't talk to the press much.

Mr. Walsh, I've never felt comfortable

being known as Jack McKay's son.

Particularly since I hardly know the man.

It's a shame it has to be that way.

Brandon and Brenda are very lucky to have parents like you.

Night, dad.

You take good care, now.

Okay.

[Brenda] This place is beautiful.

Very impressive.

Well, I'm an impressive guy.

What I want to know is

how many times have you come up here

with other girls?

You don't like the view?

I love the view.

Why is it when I'm with you,

I can just forget about everything?

Dylan, I have to ask you something.

Ask away.

Don't get mad, okay?

I never get mad.

Have you ever had sex when you weren't protected?

Not lately.

Did you ever?

Yeah.

Oh.

Are you worried about that?

Well, I'm assuming that you want to, with me.

Am I totally blowing this?

Am I thinking too much?

Brenda, I love it that you think.

Not a lot of people do.

So, what are you saying?

Do you want me to get a test?

You would do that for me?

I guess I'd be doing it for me.

Are you all right?

I need us to slow down.

I'm scared.

Of what?

Of me?

I'm not used to these feelings.

And I want to be sure.

And I'm afraid you'll say no.

I didn't say no.

You didn't?

No, I didn't.

No, you didn't.
