[theme music plays]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[upbeat music playing]

Andrea!

[crowd chattering]

[indistinct chattering]

Andrea?

Brandon, why is everybody
staring at me?

I mean, what's... what's wrong?

- Didn't you forget something?
- No. I...

Oh, my God! I forgot my clothes!

[school bell ringing, laughter]

[alarm clock ringing]

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chattering]

- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Brandon] Okay. All right.

[Emily] Remember that.

I'll think about it.

Oh. Excuse me.

Andrea, you know how you said

I should enter
the Times High School

Journalism Competition?

Yeah.

Did you win?

[sighs] No. I didn't enter.

Why not?

Well, I started thinking
about that food service expose

that you wrote.

Oh. "The Underbelly
of Cafeteria Cuisine"?

Yeah.

You going undercover
was... inspirational.

Oh. And who would have thought

I'd look so good
in a hairnet, huh?

[laughs]

It doesn't matter, though.
I don't enter those contests.

Well, not until now.

What do you mean?

I mean, I sent
your article in for you.

Are you trying to get me
kicked out of school?

Well, I just think
you deserve a little credit.

Brandon, do you realize

that I can be expelled
if somebody finds out

- I live outside of the district?
- Whoa, whoa, Andrea, give me

some credit here, okay?

I used your grandmother's
address.

Besides, if they didn't
call you by now,

it's probably a pretty safe bet
you didn't win anyway,

so, you know,
it's a dead issue, okay?

You happy, huh?

So you, uh...

You really liked
my article, huh?

- Yeah, it was okay.
- Oh!

So, can I get you anything else?

Another soda,
something to eat maybe?

No, thanks.
I'm just waiting for somebody.

- Okay.
- Brand, can I get some change?

Yeah, sure, Chief.

I think I got it right here.

There you go, pal.
Feed that jukebox.

Hey, I'm singing
your song, babe.

[laughs]

Excuse me. Are-are you sure
there's no messages?

My darlin', nobody has called

asking for a beautiful
lady named Christine,

and that nobody ought
to have his head examined.

[laughs]

Well, I'm gonna give him
one more song, and that's it.

Yeah.

Are you buying
or just window-shopping?

Well, be my guest. After you.

How gallant of you.
Thank you, sir.

- [coins clinking]
- [rockabilly song plays]

Ace pick.

[sighs] Well, then we must be
on the same wavelength.

I haven't seen you
around here before.

I would have remembered.
Believe me.

What's your name?

- Christine.
- I'm--

You're Steve. I know.

Well, I heard
your friends talking.

♪ Come on, baby... ♪

Oh. Well, uh, you go
to Beverly Hills High?

No, I go to North Culver.
How about you?

- West Beverly.
- Oh.

That's where
all the cool people go.

Well, hey, if you've got it,
flaunt it, right?

Yeah.

Oh, what's the matter?

Well, my ride didn't show up,

and I don't know
how I'm going to get home.

Oh, that's easy enough.
I can give you a ride.

- You can?
- Absolutely.

That takes care of that crisis.

- Anything else?
- Yes. I'm starving.

Why don't I buy you
something to eat

to thank you for the ride?

- You want to pay for me?
- Yeah.

Well, that's a switch.

Oh, no. You know what?

Maybe I better give you
a rain check.

It's getting
kind of late for me.

What's the rush?

I'm addicted to reruns
of The Hartley House.

I never miss it.

Me, neither. [laughs]

[upbeat, instrumental
theme music plays on TV]

I can't believe
Samantha Sanders is your mother.

She was, like,
America's favorite mom.

I'm sorry she's out of town.

Well, I'm not.

Well, I just meant I would have
liked to have met her.

Well, you still
may get a chance.

You know, she's got
really good taste.

She decorates your house
really nice.

Christine,

do you really want
to talk about my mom?

[gasps]
I guess I'm a little nervous.

You're so pretty.

Steve...

you know, I don't
usually do this

with somebody I just met, but...

But what?

Somehow I feel like
I know you already.

[romantic music plays]

Brandon, I need to talk
to you for a sec.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- There you are.

Andrea, congratulations
are in order.

Thank you.

I'm sure I speak on behalf
of the entire faculty and staff

when I say
we're all just thrilled

that you've won
the Times competition.

Hey, that's great!

- Congratulations!
- Yeah.

Now, the District
Public Relations Office

will send their Mr. Kramer over
to your house this afternoon.

My house?

Well, they need
some background info

for a profile on you
for the newsletter.

Ms. Teasley, really,

you don't need to make
such a big fuss about this.

Don't be so modest, Andrea,
and don't worry about it.

It's just a little
front page puff piece.

Mr. Kramer will take
some photos,

talk to your parents,
that's all.

You mean, her grandmother?

Of course, right.
Well, congratulations again.

[quiet gasp]

Are you all right, Chief?

I just...
Um, I can't breathe that well.

Don't worry about it.
It's just an interview.

- You can handle it.
- You don't understand.

He's gonna talk
to my grandmother.

So?

So-so, you don't know
my grandmother.

[tranquil music plays]

How could I call you first

if you weren't even going
to answer the phone?

I just went
for some refreshments.

Maybe Brockton
would like something.

Uh, it's Brandon. Brandon Walsh.

Uh, excuse me.

I didn't think it was
Brandon Mendelbaum.

Grandma Rose, listen...

I bought, uh,
health food cookies-- oat bran.

No preservatives,
no cholesterol.

Hmm. No refined sugar. No taste.

But you can't have everything.

I need to talk
to you for a minute.

- [doorbell rings]
- Coming!

- Want me to stall him?
- No.

Um, you better let me explain.

Explain what?

Grandma, my whole life
may hang in the balance here.

- You've got to listen to me.
- Could we open the door?

- [woman] Rose?
- Yeah.

- Are you all right, Rose?
- Yes, I'm fine.

- Open the door.
- What's going on in there?

Andrea!

[laughs] Aunt Stella.

She's all grown up already.
I can't believe it.

And she's got such
a nice little figure now!

Aunt Evelyn. [laughs]

Oh. Let me see those nails, sweetheart.

Aunt Muriel.

- Hi, darling.
- What a surprise.

What surprise?

We've been playing Kalooki
every Thursday

since before you were born.

Aren't you going to introduce us
to your boyfriend?

Rose, your granddaughter
has such good taste.

[laughs]

Girls, this is
Mr. Bramford Walsh.

His name is Brandon.
He's not my boyfriend.

Grandma, can I talk to you
for a moment, please?

Certainly. Excuse me a second.

Make yourself at home.

Someone's coming over any minute

to-to interview me
and take some pictures.

Oh, that's wonderful.
For a job, darling?

No, this article I wrote--
it won a journalism award.

Oh, darling,
that's so wonderful!

They're gonna give you a plaque
or something?

I don't know, Grandma,
but when Mr. Kramer comes,

we have to give him
the impression that I-

I do live here.

But you don't live here.

I know, but you remember
when you said

that I could use
your address for school,

that it would be okay?

And what did I say?

I said, as long
as I wasn't involved.

Well, now you just have
to be slightly involved.

Slightly involved?
There is no such thing.

That's like being
a little bit pregnant.

Grandma, can't you
just pretend there is?

Look, if I get expelled,

it could ruin everything
that I've worked for.

[doorbell rings]

So, what? This person's
here to question me?

No. I'm-I'm... He
might not even

talk to you that much,
but if he does,

I just want to make sure
that we have our facts straight.

Our facts straight.

You don't want
our facts straight.

You want the made-up
story straight.

No, I mean, like, if you know,
he wants to know how long

I've been living here
or anything.

[quietly] Andrea, darling,

I'm gonna tell you
how it's gonna be.

If he comes here
to interview you,

that's fine with me.

I'm gonna keep my mouth closed.
I'll play Kalooki.

But if he asks me
a direct question,

I'm sorry
if you're gonna be expelled,

but I am not going to lie.

[clears throat] Here you are.

Thanks.

You know, Andrea,
you have very...

what shall I say...
"mature" taste.

Why? Because I like porcelain
and silver?

Classics never go out of style.

So, you sleep
on this couch, huh?

Yes. It's, uh,
it's really comfortable.

Does it fold out?

- Yes.
- No.

It, uh, it depends
on your definition of "fold."

Uh-huh.

Well, I won't keep you.

Oh, Mr. Kramer,

you know what you should
put in your profile?

That Andrea is a pleasure
to be around,

not, not like some kids.

In fact, on most days,

you wouldn't even think
a teenager lived here.

Uh, Mr. Kramer,
I'll, I'll walk you out.

It was nice meeting you.

- Same here.
- So long, ladies.

Grandma, don't you want
what's best for me?

Not if it means schlepping
on a bus for hours

breathing exhaust fumes
for the privilege of...

of cavorting with rich kids.

I can't believe I have
to defend myself to you.

Aren't you on my side?

Against who? Your conscience?

Grandma, I don't like
lying either,

but sometimes the ends
justify the means.

This is one of those times.

Maybe to you it is.

When you were my age,

you assumed
a different identity.

Oh, my sweetheart,

when I was your age,
it was a matter of survival.

It was a question of-of life
and death.

I was trying to avoid
a gas chamber,

not trying to sneak
into some school district.

What you're suggesting is-is
insignificant in comparison,

and don't you ever say
otherwise.

I'm sorry.

You may think
it's insignificant,

but it's my life.

[rock and roll song plays]

Three, two, one. Ta-da!

It has been one week

to the very second
since I first met you.

Oh, well, what'd you get me
for our anniversary?

This...

♪ Come on, baby
Take a chance ♪

♪ I will show you
True romance ♪

That girl gets on my nerves.
She's got no class.

Steve can do better than that.

So why don't you go tell him?

Very funny.

You'll get your
surprise Saturday.

Oh, no, not this Saturday.

Why, you have plans?

Well, it's a date I made
a few weeks back.

Oh, well, I... I guess
I'll have to find someone else

to go to the Fox Theater
with me--

REM! Oh, my God!
You got REM tickets?

- House seats.
- Oh!

- [laughs]
- Mmm, I just changed my plans.

I can't believe you!
Oh, my gosh!

- Happy anniversary.
- Oh.

- Mmm.
- Ugh. I'm outta here.

- [birds chirping]
♪ La, la, la, la... ♪

So, my brother, are you
down for this Saturday?

Dune Buggies R Us.

- It's gonna be rocking.
- Outstanding!

It's kind of dangerous,
isn't it?

Nah, only if you're weak.

Steve-o, are you coming
with us or what?

I can't make it.
I'm going to see REM that night.

Ooh, with, uh, Christine?
Sounds a little continuous.

Sounds kind of nauseating,
if you ask me.

Oh, do you have some objections?

Hey, it's not my place
to criticize.

Never stopped you before.

Steve, I think we should talk
about this in private.

Oh, God, will you
look at the time?

- Don't we have a bungee...
- Nah. No.

No, no, no. Stay right here.

I want you to hear how Kelly
disses my new girlfriend

and pretends
it's for my own good.

Come on, Kel, tell me everything
that's wrong with Christine.

Look, all I'm gonna say is,
you get what you pay for.

Where does she get off?

It's amazing how a little
competition stirs the pangs

of jealousy in a woman.

No, no, no, she's not jealous.
She's just a snob!

She thinks that anyone
who can't afford to shop

on Rodeo Drive
is a lower life-form.

It's not like Christine lives
in the Valley or anything.

No offense.

Look, I didn't mean it
like that, Andrea.

Uh, Andrea,

I was just passing by
the Vice Principal's office

and Mrs. Teasley wanted
to talk to you.

[sighs]

"And since I have grave doubts
as to whether Miss Zuckerman

actually lives
with her grandmother,

I cannot in good conscience

complete the profile
as assigned."

Signed, Cliff Kramer.

Are you all right, Andrea?

Um, yeah, I'm fine.
Fine, thank you.

So...

I have no choice but to initiate
a formal inquiry.

An investigator will contact
your grandmother

to make a house visit.

Well, I know in your case,
I don't need to worry,

because you really do live
at that address,

in Beverly Hills,
with your grandmother.

- Don't you?
- Mm-hmm.

So, what'd your grandmother say?

She's, um, she's letting me
move in this weekend.

I knew she wouldn't
hang you out to dry.

Well, she said she'd rather
I truly live with her

than pretend to, but, uh,

I don't know if I can do that.

Look, you've come this far.
You gotta hang in there.

[sighs]
Andrea, I feel like an idiot.

[sighs] Brandon, you had no idea
this was gonna happen.

I brought it on myself.

I just wish there was
something I could do.

Well, you could, um,
help me move on Saturday.

You got it.

Oh, wait, this Saturday I gotta
go dune- buggying with Dylan.

I can come home early though,
if you want.

Maybe I should go with you.

I might break my neck

and then I wouldn't have
to deal with this anymore.

Hey, hey, hey, come on.
Don't talk like that.

- [sobs]
- It's gonna be okay.

Thanks.

Sanders!

Why don't you have
to wait in line?

Clean living, Dave.

You know, these sheets
are 20% polyester.

You don't ever have
to iron them.

Thank you.

You have a robe?

No, I, I don't wear a robe,
Grandma.

I think a robe is nice,
don't you?

[clears throat]

Brian didn't want to come over?

No, Brandon, Grandma.

He, uh, he got delayed
in Zuma Beach.

So I just took the bus.

And your parents
didn't drive you?

No.

Grandma, I'm, um,

I'm sorry about the other night.
I don't...

I don't want you to think
that I was trying to make light

of anything that,

that you went through
in the war.

I certainly hope not.

I hope I didn't bring up any,
um, bad memories for you.

Look, I put the top
on the bottom.

[both laugh]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Yes, yes, she's here.

It's for you.

Hello?

Mom, of course I'm all right.

I'm not getting involved.

Mom, that is between you
and Grandma.

Mom, I'm gonna hang up now,
Mom...

Mom, good-bye.

[sighs]

[Steve] Was that great or what?

Um, REM was awesome.

- Except.
- Except what?

Well, I don't know,
I thought maybe

you'd want
to go backstage afterwards.

I couldn't get passes.

But couldn't you just
tell them who you are?

The limo's gonna be
here any minute.

Guys, could you believe
that concert?

Wasn't it outrageous?

- It was supernaturally--
- Yeah, we get the gist, Dave.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You must be Christine.
I'm David Silver.

I'm sure he's mentioned me.

Uh, Steve and I are close buds.

Don't push your luck, "bud."

Are those autographs
on your program?

Uh, yeah, I just
kinda snuck backstage.

How'd you get in?

Clean living, Steve-O.

[sighs]

So where is that stupid
driver anyway?

Well, he probably
went around back.

Yeah, well, we're never
using this company again.

And don't give him a tip.

Here he is now.

[Steve] Hey, did you ever see
the movie, No Way Out?

- No.
- Ah, it was great.

Sean Young, Kevin Costner.
They get it on in a limo.

A limo just like this one.

Well, I'm sure they didn't
have a stupid driver

like we've got.

Oh, come on. Forget about him.

The question is,
did you have fun tonight?

Yeah, I did,
until a few minutes ago.

[sighs]

You know I was thinking

maybe next week we could go
to a jewelry store,

pick out a token
of my affection.

Oh, Steve...

[sighs]

I think this whole
limo thing got to me,

'cause... well...

it's just that you make me
feel like Cinderella.

I mean you're so generous,

I'm just afraid
it's all gonna disappear.

Well, it won't. Believe me.

You deserve it.

Now all we have to decide is:

Should it be jewelry
for the hand?

The ear?

- [chuckles]
- The neck?

- [growls]
- [giggles]

Oh, Steven, I love you.

I love you too.

[whirring]

Who would've thought it, huh?

I move ten miles closer
to school,

and I actually get a late slip.

So, you slept in for once.

Who could sleep in with
an insomniac grandmother

roaming around the place
all night?

Well, it's always those first

few nights in a new place
that's the hardest.

I mean I do speak
from experience.

Yeah, he changes
his address like a model

changes her clothes.

Hey, Steve!

Yo, Steve,
how was the limo, buddy?

Oh, the limo was, uh...

- cinematic.
- [chuckles]

[Kelly] Hi, guys.

Hey, goils. Pull up a chair.

So, we'll pick you guys up
what, 6:30, 7:00 at Brenda's?

Yeah, have we decided
where we're going yet?

I haven't spoken
to Christine yet.

[Brenda] Why don't we
just decide later?

Is this a double date?

How smooshy.

Don't start, Kel.
I'll see you guys later.

- Bye.
- Hey, take it easy, man.

Am I the only one who can see
what a phony Christine is?

Well, Steve seems to like her.

He likes anything in a skirt
these days, Donna.

He didn't used to be that way.

Ah, the good old days.

Hey, Andrea, everything's
gonna be okay, trust me.

You just gotta look
on the bright side.

What is the bright side,
Brandon?

I mean, I miss my family.

I have no privacy,

and my grandmother
is a walking time bomb.

What do you mean?

I mean, there's no way to know

what she's gonna tell
the investigator tomorrow.

Andrea, let me
ask you a question.

Is this school really
worth all the hassle?

You people have no idea
how good you have it, do you?

You think every place
is like this.

Do you realize that the school
I'm supposed to go to

doesn't have enough funds
to even put out a real paper?

I guess I didn't think about it.

Why should you?
Why should any of you?

You buy new clothes
every weekend.

You have CD players
in your cars.

You have no idea...

I'm sorry.

Andrea, why are you so upset?

I'm upset
because the investigator

is gonna come tomorrow,

and it still looks
like I'm an overnight guest.

I mean, there's no way
she's gonna believe

I live there with all
that grandma stuff around.

Andrea, we can fix that.

My middle name is makeover, huh?

[whimsical music plays]

[chuckles]

Oh, you guys, I can't believe
how great this place looks.

Well what do you think,
Grandma Rose?

How do you like
your new dormitory?

I, I think it looks great.

Finishing touch, a family photo.

Is that your mom?
She's really pretty.

That's not a very good picture.

Well, I think
she looks beautiful.

Grandma Rose, you're always
making fun of your cooking.

This is great.

- You like it?
- Yeah.

It's Evelyn's recipe.

She can't play Kalooki
to save her life,

but she cooks like
the white tornado.

I remember when you used
to come to our house

on the holidays and cook for us.

I wish you'd come over
more often, Grandma.

I don't want to talk
about it, okay?

[tranquil music plays]

[crickets chirping]

You know,
I've never seen Steve so...

Happy?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I mean, ever since
we've known him

he's either been hung up
on Kelly or chasing bimbos.

And now I see
how attentive he is

when he really cares
about a girl and he's so...

sweet and protective.

Yeah, well, uh...
just don't get any ideas, okay?

'Cause you're taken.

Oh, God, I'm starving.
How much longer?

Oh, I'd say 45 minutes.

- 45 minutes?
- Yeah.

Well, all right,
look, look, look,

you ladies dangle somewhere,
and me and Steve, we'll, uh...

we'll whip up
some hors d'oeuvres.

- We will? Yeah, we will.
- Yeah.

Good. I always prefer
to be waited on.

I've noticed that about you.

Well, I thought we were
going out tonight,

not doing
all the drudge work ourselves.

I mean, I could do that at home.

You know personally,
I prefer staying at home.

I mean it's so expensive
to go out,

and normally the food's
not even that great.

Unless you know
where to go, like Steve does.

And then you don't have
to do the dishes.

[Steve] Oh, baby,
I'll do the dishes.

[Christine] Good.

Hey, let's go look
at your clothes!

Oh, this belt is radical.

This must've set you back
a few big ones.

Actually, I, uh, stole it
from my brother.

Hey, you know, we should go
shopping together sometime.

Oh, I'm having a slight
recession in my checkbook.

Actually, I'm waiting
for the big sales.

Oh, God, I hate the sales.

They're so crowded and smelly.

Yeah, but you can
buy twice as much.

Unless of course
you don't care about that,

because what,
you're independently wealthy?

Well, I'm not.

Do you like my dress?

Actually, I was meaning
to tell you earlier.

I think it's really fabulous.

Steve bought it for me.

- Oh, that was nice of him.
- Mm-hmm.

And what is this I hear
about a jewelry store?

Oh, diamond earrings.

I've been dreaming
about them constantly.

Diamonds?

Well, small ones. I mean,
not a whole carat or anything.

But you know what would
really make my whole year?

Spring break in Hawaii.

Um, Christine you know

you really haven't known
Steve that long.

You know who Steve
reminds me of?

Richard Gere
in the movie Pretty Woman.

And you're Julia Roberts, right?

Why not?

Because she was a prostitute.

Yeah, but she looked great,
don't you think?

Christine, Steve is my friend.

And I don't really
appreciate the way

that you're treating him.

Well, I don't hear him
complaining.

- You're using him.
- We're using each other.

Excuse me, ladies.
Your crudites awaits.

I've lost my appetite.

So have I.
Come on, Steve. Let's go.

Way to go, Bren.

Steve, if you're smart,
you'll let that one just go.

Some friend you are.

The first girl to mean anything
to me in over a year

- and you go and blow her off.
- I am your friend.

Well, then you better
get used to her,

'cause I'm gonna see a lot more
of her for a long time.

Did Kelly put you up to this?

Steve, look, I was just
looking out for you.

I mean she admitted to me
that she was using you.

Thanks, Brenda,
but I can take care of myself.

[birds chirping]

Yeah, let me say hi to Mom.

Okay, I love you, too.

Hi, Mom. I'm fine. How are you?

Yeah? Really?

- No... what?
- [whirring]

Mom, I'm sorry.
I can't hear you.

What? Can you say that again?

Oh, no, just the usual,
you know...

Mom, I'm sorry... can you...?

Mom, I'm gonna have
to call you back later.

I can't hear anything.

Okay, bye-bye.

Grandma, can you please
stop vacuuming? Grandma!

Grandma! Please, stop vacuuming!

Your girlfriends-- they
stirred up all this dust, uh,

moving the furniture.

Grandma, this is not about dust.

This is about you
and my parents.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Grandma, look, I know
that you hate my mother,

but why are you
taking it out on me?

You've never done that before.

Andrea, I do not
hate your mother.

You haven't spoken
to her in three years.

Yeah, and why should I speak
to a person like that? Huh?

She's not a horrible person,
even if she's not Jewish.

This has nothing to do
with Jewish or not Jewish.

Your mother has absolutely
no respect for me, none.

How can you say that?

When I broke my leg,

did she ever just once
pick up a phone, maybe?

Not once!

Grandma, I can't
defend my parents.

I don't know
what really happened.

It's water under the bridge.

No, that's the trouble.
It's not.

I don't want to be in
the middle of this anymore.

Fine with me.

[sighs]

[tranquil music plays]

What are you doing?

You redecorating again?

No. I'm packing.

I'm tired of living
this charade.

I'm just gonna...

just gonna bring
my bag to school

and I'll come back later
for the rest of my things, okay?

But Andrea, your, your,
your investigator

- is coming today at 3:00.
- I know.

So, so what do you
want me to tell her?

Grandma, tell her the truth.

Tell her I'm a liar.
Tell her it didn't work out.

Tell her whatever you want.

Then maybe everybody's
conscience can be clear

and maybe I can
have my grandma back.

[sad music plays]

Andrea... Andrea, come back!

[door closes]

[sobbing]

[clattering]

Hey, Chief. How's it going?

"I regret to inform you that
I will be resigning as editor,

effective immediately"?

- What happened?
- Nothing.

I just thought
I'd make preparations now

so that I don't have to leave
in disgrace or chaos.

Andrea, come on.
You are so fatalistic.

But what about your grandma?

I mean, you haven't even
given it a decent chance yet.

[Andrea] Brandon,

there are forces
working within my grandmother

that began decades ago
on another continent.

Might as well have been another
planet, as far as I'm concerned.

What are you talking about?
Did she throw you out?

No. I threw myself out.

Well, I don't know
if it'll work, but...

do you want me to ask my parents
if you could come live with us?

You'd do that for me?

You're great... [chuckles]

But, uh, that's not
the answer either. [sighs]

Well, we could just try it out.

Way too much responsibility
for your folks, Brandon.

I mean, they would have
to become my guardians.

No, I am just gonna have

to look at this
like a challenge.

[laughs]

You know, the funny thing is
I was really starting to feel

like I was, uh, I was part
of the gang, you know.

I mean, your frien...

Our friends.

They don't look at me
like a geek

who lives on the wrong side
of the tracks.

And I, I know that there's more
to them than, uh,

their spiffy clothes
and their fancy cars.

I guess that's something that,
uh, we never would have learned

if I hadn't come here.

And that's worth something,
isn't it?

[door opens]

[sighs]
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.

[Brandon] What is it, partner?

Can I talk to you outside
for a second?

Brandon.

I couldn't tell this
to just anyone, so...

What is it?

Brenda tell you
about last night?

No, she didn't.
I got home too late.

Brenda and Christine didn't
exactly hit it off last night,

so I let Brenda
have it for that.

But then afterwards,

I couldn't stop
thinking about it

and I started to see
Christine in a new light.

What do you mean?

It's like she's...
she's obsessed with money.

Well, that's not
so unusual in L.A.

[sighs]

You really fell
for this one, didn't you?

Yeah...

yeah, I did.

I guess I missed
having a steady thing

more than I admitted.

[sighs] Let's face it,
look at my track record.

It's lousy
in the pickup department.

I want someone
who likes me for who I am,

someone who will be there even
if I have nothing in the bank.

And you don't think she will?

I'm gonna have to find out.

[Steve] Uh, I already picked
something out.

Oh, and I get to guess
what it is, right?

Well, if you want,
but I hope you like it

'cause I already paid for it.

Well, why shouldn't I like it
if you picked it out for me?

Go ahead. Guess.

Okay, I will. Okay.

Well, it's not
the engagement rings.

Not yet anyway. [both chuckle]

And it's not
the sapphire necklace,

although I wouldn't mind
that either.

Oh, I wouldn't mind the pearls,
but that's not it.

The earrings right there.

Uh, no, that's not it.

Well, don't keep me in suspense.
What is it?

This is it.

This is from me to you.

[laughs quietly]

- That's it?
- Don't you like it?

Well, it's nice,
but it's not that special.

Silly of me.

I thought maybe
because it came from me,

it would be special to you.

But that's okay.
If you don't want it,

maybe someone else will.

Steve, wait, please,
don't get mad.

I mean, let me see it again.
I didn't get a good enough look.

Forget it. I don't want
to give it to you anymore.

But I was just being honest.

I know, like the way
you were honest

that first day in the Peach Pit

about not knowing
who my mom was, right?

[sad music plays]

How did you know that?

I didn't until right now.

[sighs] Good-bye, Christine.
Have a nice life.

Steve, what'll it be, pal?

Whatever. Make it a double.

So, how'd your little
talk go with Christine?

Oh, that good, huh?

Can you get off work
a couple hours early?

I'm only in for a couple hours.

I got to help Andrea
move back home.

- Oh.
- Yeah. Splitsville.

Bummer.

[sighs]

So are you going to buy
or are you just window-shopping?

You go ahead.

- [slow instrumental plays]
- [exhales]

That's a pretty sad song.

Yeah, whenever I feel bad,

I kind of like to wallow
in it for a little while.

What's the matter, Steve?

I broke up with Christine.

Andrea, are you busy tonight?

- Yeah.
- [sighs]

Do you like me?

Yeah, sure I do.

Why?

Why do you like me?

'Cause... underneath that
sometimes rude exterior...

lies a little boy
who likes to have fun.

And you're kind of cute.

I am rude. I know that.

I got to work on that.

[sighs] Sometimes I lie awake
at night remembering

all the stupid cracks
I said to people,

wondering why they even talk
to me at all.

[sighs] Andrea, I'm sorry

if I hurt your feelings
the other day.

Well, try not to, uh...

make so much fun
about the Valley, okay?

You can't go back there.
We need you here, Andrea.

You're our inspiration.

[scoffs] Right.

Andrea, how many girls are there

you can enjoy looking at
and also look up to?

Thank you.

[sighs]

So you think I'm cute, huh?

You never told me that before.

You never asked.

Well, in that case...

you think I'm sexy?

[laughs]

Hey, hey, hey,
what's going on over here?

I've been trying to make
this girl smile for hours--

no, days.

You come in here
and manage it in five minutes?

What, do you think
you're the only one

that can be tight
with the illustrious

Andrea Zuckerman?

Yeah, I have a lot
of friends, Brandon.

So don't leave them.

[Grandma] Oh, she's here.

Andrea. Hi, I'm Pat Roberts.

I'm glad we could get
to meet in person.

I feel I know you already

from reading your editorials
in the newspaper.

They're outstanding.

Thank you.

Well, good-bye, Mrs. Zuckerman.
I'll see you in three weeks.

Bye-bye, it was my pleasure.

What's in three weeks?

A follow-up visit.

And your report will be...

Favorable.

- [chuckles]
- But, Andrea,

be sure to stay on this
side of the hill, okay?

Ah, come on, you're gonna
ruin my makeup.

You're not wearing any makeup.

So? Maybe I'm gonna
want to wear some later.

[sighs]

Grandma, what made you
lie for me?

You were right, Andrea.

You shouldn't be in the middle.
You work so hard.

And soon you'll,
you'll be gone away

to college, married--

Can you stand it?

- What?
- Living with me for real?

Believe me, darling,
I've been through worse.

You know what?
I could use the company.

Well, there is, uh, one thing
that we have to work out.

What?

My parents.

What are you doing?

You want me to live here
with you, Grandma,

we have to sit down and talk,
all together.

Tonight.

Mom?

There's, um, somebody here
who wants to talk to you.

[sentimental music plays]

Hello, Beverly.

- Yeah.
- Well, I'm fine.

I got a little arthritis,

couple of aches and pains
here and there,

but otherwise, I'm okay.

And you?

['50s rock music playing]

Ta-da!

And I baked this
with my own little hands.

Yeah, right, Nat.
I work here, remember?

- [chuckles]
- Sit down, pal.

- "Good Luck"?
- What?

Well, when we made it,
we didn't know

whether you were coming or going
or staying or what, so...

Well, I knew.
I had no doubt about it.

- Hmm. Me either.
- It's unanimous.

You guys, thank you
for being there for me.

- It's great.
- [Andrea chuckles]

What, you thought
we wouldn't be?

I don't know. I figured that,
you know, I would be gone,

and you guys would just move on.

Out of sight, out of mind.

- Nah.
- Nah, that's...

- No way.
- [chuckles]

That would never happen
with someone as special as you.

You know, Kelly,
your interior decorating

made a world of difference.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Dylan] Oh, stop it.

[all] Aww.

[all chattering]

How you doing?

I sure am sorry
I didn't listen to you, Kel.

Me, too.

I want to give you something.

What?

Give me your hand.

Thanks, but... no, thanks.

Go on. Just take it.

Steve, it's beautiful,
but I-I don't want something

you bought for another girl.

You look like you could use
some distraction.

How about a movie?

With you? Now?

Dutch, of course.

A romantic comedy
to cheer you up.

Action adventure?

Mystery.

You got it.

[upbeat music plays]

Uh, who would like
a piece of cake?

Uh, we... Yeah, we'll just...

No, I think not.
I think I need a plate.

You can have the rose.
Who wants the rose?

- Three roses.
- Who wants the yellow rose cake?

The yellow rose cake.

Well, a smaller piece.
