[Theme from Beverly Hills, 90210 by John Davis playing]

[lively music playing]

[Brandon] Andrea... An...

Andrea, it's getting a little out of hand.

[Andrea] Sorry, Brandon, I can't help you. I'm busy right now.

- [Brandon] Come on. - [girls] We're having fun.

[Brandon] I'm glad someone is.

[music stops]

[music starts playing again]

[music stops]

[music starts playing again]

[mom] Well, which one do you want?

[Henry] Anybody's seen Brandon Walsh?

Hey, guys, don't tell Henry I'm here. Don't tell him.

[Andrea laughs]

[Henry] Lying down on the job again?

Get back to work, you lazy bum.

[Andrea] Come on, time for lunch. Let's go!

Manga, manga, run, run, run.

[Brandon] Hey... Hey.

Hey!

Hey, Andrea.

- [Andrea] Thanks. - [Brandon] It's all right.

You got a good group of kids.

I don't know if you have plans for tonight, but...

[Andrea] Jay!

Sorry, I gotta go. I'll see you later, okay?

[Brandon] Okay.

[Cindy] Is that her boyfriend?

I don't know. He's a boy. He's her friend.

[Cindy] She certainly looks happy.

- [Brandon] I hadn't noticed. - [Cindy] Well...

[Cindy] Gotta go beat your father at rummy.

[Brandon] Enjoy.

Brandon, have you seen today's Times?

[Brandon] What?

[Steve] It's Dylan's dad.

He's up for parole.

[Brandon] He's better off with his old man behind bars.

[Jack] Dylan.

I'm glad you could come.

- [Dylan] You look great. - [Jack] I feel great.

Been waiting all year.

- [Dylan] Glad you made it. - [Jack] Me too.

But it's not over yet.

I've still got the hearing.

[Dylan] You've been a model prisoner, right?

They'll let you out.

[Jack] A lot of people

who'd love to see your old man behind bars forever.

That's why it's really important

to cover all my bases.

My lawyers say I could use a little help

in the image department.

That's where you come in.

[Dylan] What do you want me to do?

[Jack] It's very simple.

All you have to do is write a letter.

[Dylan] What am I supposed to say?

[Jack] What do you think you're supposed to say?

You're my son.

I'm your father.

You figure it out.

[Dylan] You never change.

[Jack] What do you mean?

That you're not gonna help me out here?

If you were in my shoes, I'd be there for you,

and you know that's true.

So, can I count on you here?

[Dylan] I'll see what I can do.

[Jack] Good.

Then that's settled.

Look...

You know the address of my lawyer.

Do me a favor, get them a draft

by the end of the week,

so they can file it.

[Dylan] Yeah.

[Jack] Thanks.

[Dylan] Don't mention it.

[Jack] So...

How's your girlfriend doing?

What's her name...

Linda?

[Dylan] Brenda.

Her name is Brenda.

[French music playing]

[Brenda] I cannot believe that we are actually in Paris.

[Donna] What time is it back home?

[Brenda] No way, Donna.

We are not calling home.

We just got here.

[Donna] Do not lecture me.

I am so tired, my stomach is a wreck

and I have a sore throat

from the people smoking.

[Brenda] Well, you won't get on another plane for six weeks.

[Donna] Good, because if I smell another cigarette,

I'll absolutely hurl.

Oh, uh...

Ugh!

[Brenda] Oh, uh, monsieur.

Est-il possible que vous nu fumez pas,

por favor?

I mean, s'il vous plaît?

[Donna] Tell him that smoking causes lung cancer.

And heart disease.

And emphysema. Tell him.

[Brenda] My French is not that good.

[man] La fumee-vous derange?

[Brenda] Well, you see,

the plane was really smoky...

[man] Pas de probleme.

La porte est la.

The door is there!

[Donna] What?

[angry muttering]

[Brenda] What are you doing?

[man] Je fume, je fume, okay?

Get out of there!

Out! You, out!

La tour est finit.

C'est tout.

[Donna] Brenda!

[Brenda] I'll handle this.

Look, I'm sorry. You can smoke if you want.

I mean, it's a free country, right?

It's your country , n'est-ce pas?

[Donna grunts]

[man] Have a nice day!

[car beeping]

Thanks for handling that.

[Brenda] Any time.

[Brenda] Oh... we made it!

[Donna] I wanna go home!

[Brenda] I did not just carry your luggage

five blocks up a hill just to have you wimp out.

[Donna] Once we get in the room, it will be fine.

[woman speaking in French]

Oh, mademoiselles.

[Brenda] Bonjour. Je m'appelle Brenda Walsh...

[woman] Mais oui! Et Mademoiselle Martin?

Bonjour, bonjour.

Je suis la concierge, Madame DuBois.

[speaking in French]

[Brenda] Uh, excusez-moi, mais parlez-vous anglais?

[DuBois] Oui , but you are in the immersion program, non?

And all the girls love for me to speak French with them.

[Brenda] We just had a really long trip.

and I don't think we're ready to immerse yet.

Except, of course, in a bathtub.

[DuBois] Oh, mais oui. Forgive me, you are tired.

But you are very late, non?

Three people asked me for my last room

and I said, non, it is fully paid.

I must hold it for the girls.

Voilà! And all of our rooms have names.

This one is " Marie ."

[playful music playing

[Brenda] Well...

I am sure it's got a really, really nice...

window.

[DuBois] And this is for your clothes.

Ah! And the towels are ici.

[Donna] Whoa.

This is for our clothes ?

All of our clothes?

Both of our clothes?

[sighs] I need to sit down.

[sighs] Oh!

Kelly must've had ESP.

It's not like we're gonna be spending any time here.

[DuBois laughs] You will be in the program all day

and out with the parties all night.

[Brenda] See?

[girl] Knock, knock.

[DuBois] Allo, Maggie!

Tell the girls they'll be too busy in Paris even to sleep!

[Maggie] Ah! Oui.

We shall give ourselves to our French lovers

and then go home with broken hearts, but...

a lifetime of memories.

Hi. I'm Maggie,

and these two creeps are Lynnette and Ann.

[DuBois] I will leave you to make friends.

[Lynette] We just wanted to see who got stuck with "Marie."

[giggling]

A bientot.

[Maggie] Don't mind them.

[Brenda] We won't.

I'm Brenda, and this is Donna.

- [Donna] Hey. - [Maggie] Hi.

Well, cheer up, Donna.

I got stuck with "Antoinette"

and it ain't better.

[Donna] Great.

[Brenda] We can complain or make the best of it,

but while you mope, I'm gonna take a bath.

Which is where?

[Maggie] Third floor, end of the hallway.

Oh, and the water heater takes tokens.

[Brenda] Oh, my God.

[Donna] I've gotta call David.

[Maggie] There's a payphone in the yard.

[Brenda] Don't do it.

If you call him before settling in,

you'll get more homesick.

[Maggie] Where are you guys from, anyway?

[Brenda] Uh... Los Angeles.

[Maggie] Where in Los Angeles?

[Donna] Uh... West Lost Angeles.

[Maggie] What school?

[Brenda] West Beverly High.

[Maggie] I knew it.

So...

anybody got a cigarette?

[Jay] I gotta give you credit.

I wouldn't last a day with those tykes.

[Andrea] It's a pretty good job.

But it's not hobnobbing with the bigwigs at CNN.

[Jay] As if. The bureau chief still doesn't know my name.

[Andrea] Paying dues!

They're taking you to the Republican convention?

[Jay] We leave next week.

[Andrea] Sounds more exciting than digging for sand crabs.

[Jay] Do you want me to talk to Mr. Rouse,

see if they have any intern jobs?

[Andrea] They'd hire someone in high school?

[Jay] It's exactly who they hire since pay's a joke.

Should I check it out?

[Andrea] Are you kidding?

I'd love it.

Even if it is the Republican National Convention.

It gives me a chance to smoke out the enemy.

[Jay] The enemy?

What are you talking about?

I'm a Republican.

[Andrea laughs]

You're kidding, right?

[Jay] Horror of horrors.

[Andrea] But I'm a card-carrying liberal.

[Jay] Well, you know what they say about liberal girls.

[Andrea] No, what do they say, Jay?

[Jay] It's rumored that they're very...

liberal.

[Andrea] And you know what they say about conservatives.

They're lousy lovers.

[Jay] Who says?

[Andrea] My lips are sealed.

[Jay] Why don't you just let me prove to you how wrong you are.

[Andrea laughs] Jay...

[Jay] I can't uphold the honor and dignity

of the Grand Old Party if you just sit there.

- [Andrea] Jay... - [Jay] The card-carrying liberal

is too bashful for a little public display of affection?

[Andrea laughs] Okay.

[people cheering]

[Andrea] William F. Buckley has nothing on you, boy.

[whimsical music playing]

[girl 1] Isn't it weird they're doing that with their fingers?

[girl 2] Yeah, it is.

[Andrea] They're signing.

That's how deaf people talk

and it's not nice to stare, so stop.

Come on, down the slide.

Hi! I'm Andrea.

What's your name?

[mom] He's Cameron.

[Andrea] Hi, Andrea Zuckerman. How are you?

- [woman] Ellen Shaw. - [Andrea] Nice to meet you.

[Ellen] How did you learn to sign?

[Andrea] I used to volunteer at the Valley Youth Center

and there were some hearing impaired kids there, so...

I thought I should learn how to speak their language.

[Ellen] Not many would make the effort.

[Andrea] It's fun.

You'd better watch out

or you'll get sand in your sandwich.

[Cameron] I don't like eating sand.

[Andrea] What? You like eating sand?

[Cameron] No, I said I hate sand in my food.

[Andrea] Oh, you hate eating sand.

Me, too.

[all laugh]

[Andrea] Look, Mrs. Shaw, there's no reason

Cameron has to sit alone all summer.

Why don't you sign him up for beach camp?

[Ellen] I don't think so.

[Andrea] He'll be okay.

I mean, I can take care of him, really.

You don't have to worry.

[Ellen] I don't think it'd work out.

But thank you for asking.

It was nice meeting you.

[Andrea] You, too.

[Ellen] Come on, honey, time to come out of the sun.

[soft music playing]

[Andrea sighs]

[Brenda] Something about being in a 2000-year-old city

gives you such a sense of history.

[Donna] Brenda, my feet are killing me!

[Brenda] All those suitcases

and you couldn't find decent walking shoes.

[Donna] You're nagging again.

[Brenda] Well, our next stop is not too far.

[Dona] No, no more.

I need a nap.

[Brenda] They strongly suggested

to see as many landmarks as possible before classes.

[Donna] We ought to be excused on account of jet lag.

[Brenda] Levez-vous, s'il vous plaît.

[Donna sighs] David has that same shirt.

Well, I mean it's not exactly the same shirt,

but the same color.

Well, it's not exactly the same color, but... [sighs]

[Brenda] Do you want a phone booth?

[Donna] No.

We both agreed to tough it out as long as possible,

and if you can wait, I can wait.

[Brenda] Attagirl.

Let's see what's next.

Um...

Let's go to Balzac's house and call it a day.

[Donna] Okay.

Why don't we skip Balzac's House and call it a day?

[Brenda] Donna, I'm sure we will find it.

[Donna sighs] Other people go to see the Eiffel Tower,

stroll down the Champs Elysées, do a little shopping.

What am I doing? I'm going to Balzac's House.

[Brenda] It was on the list, and close.

[Donna] Great. Who even cares about Balzac?

Now I could understand

Pierre Cardin's house, but...

[Brenda] You don't want to be here, fine.

Get on the metro, and go back to the hotel!

[Donna] Uh, Brenda...

[Brenda] Stay there all summer.

Better yet, go back to Beverly Hills,

to your same old princess life and same old people.

- [Donna] Brenda. - [Brenda] But without me.

Because I will take advantage

of all this city has to offer.

I'm not rushing to call Dylan the minute I get here,

because everything's not perfect.

I am going to "immerse", I am going to speak French,

and I'm gonna find Balzac's House at all costs.

[Donna] Good. Well, if you finished...

I think the word is: voila?

[whispers] Right there.

[Brenda] We're here, let's go!

[piano chimes]

I don't believe it.

It's closed...

[Donna whispers] What?

[boy] All right, here we go.

[Andrea] Good girl. Go get it.

[Jay] Guess who.

[Andrea] Uh... Dan Quayle.

[both chuckle]

[Andrea] I was close.

[Jay] I have terrific news.

My producer said

if you work 24 hours a day

for next to no money,

he'd love to have you.

[Andrea] Lies.

[Jay] Start packing, babe.

[Donna] It's great!

You're a miracle worker.

That's so good!

[Jay] I had incentive.

I get to spend summer with you.

[Donna awes]

Oh, I'm so excited!

Oh, that's so cool!

[laughs] I can't wait.

[piano chimes]

[Donna] Pinch me. I still can't believe it's not a dream.

[Jay] Score for the Dreams-come-true Department.

- [Steve] Are you jealous? - [Brandon] What?

[Steve] Girls do this to make you realize you like them.

[Brandon] That's ridiculous.

- [Steve] Why are you staring? - [Brandon] I wasn't.

[Steve] If you're gonna make a move,

you'd better do it before it's late.

[dramatic soft music playing]

[Brandon sighs]

[Andrea] Okay, go on.

Be careful.

[Cameron] Hello.

[Andrea] Hi, Cameron.

[Cameron] Can I join them?

[Andrea] Sure you can join the group.

Did your mother give you permission?

Terrific.

Come on over.

[whistle blowing]

Group, come over here. Come on over.

Gang, this is Cameron.

Cameron, this is the gang.

Say, hi.

[All] Hi, Cameron.

[Andrea] Well, don't just stand there.

Let's go swimming. Come on, go for it!

[laughs]

[Ellen] What's going on here?

Cameron, I've been looking all over for you.

How many times do I have to tell you not to wander off?

[Andrea] He said he could.

[Ellen] And you believed him?

- [Andrea] I'm sorry. - [Ellen] I was frantic.

[Andrea] I'm really sorry.

[Ellen] Thank God he's all right.

[Andrea] Mrs. Shaw, excuse me for saying this,

but just because he has special needs,

doesn't mean he can't have fun with the rest of us.

[Ellen] As you've just noticed,

Cameron has a tendency to wander off.

All children do,

but when a deaf child gets lost, you can't just call his name.

So I have to watch him like a hawk.

How are you going to do that with eight other children?

[Andrea] We'll set up a buddy system.

We'll make rules.

Please, Mrs. Shaw.

It's not fair to isolate him any more than he already is.

[Ellen] Andrea...

Thank you, you're very kind.

I'm sorry.

It's just impossible.

[Andrea] It's just day camp, one day.

There's no commitment.

Please, just try it.

[Ellen sighs]

Okay, you win.

[Andrea] What?

[Ellen] Cameron can join your group.

[Andrea] That's terrific!

[Donna] So, Kelly recommended this place?

[Brenda] Yes, but she didn't say it was dressy.

- [Brenda] Regardez that outfit. - [Donna] Ooh-la-la!

We definitely have to check out "le shopping".

[Brenda] We will, but when we speak French like natives.

[Donna] Come on, haven't you heard the saying, "money talks"?

[Brenda] Yeah, and I don't have a lot of it.

Besides, I don't want people to see us and say

"stupid tourists, let's take advantage of them."

You can't show any weakness here,

you can't let on that you're not right on top of things.

And now is a great time to start.

[man] Votre command, s'il vous plaît.

[Brenda] Oh, here.

[Donna] Bren, this is all in French.

[Brenda] Je voudrais le poisson.

[man] Quel poisson? Nous avons 26 poissons différents!

- [Brenda] Um... - [man] La coquis St. Jacques,

la dorade,

le rouget, la sole...

[Brenda] La sole.

- [man] Merci. Et vous? - [Donna] Oh. Um...

Oh, God...

I don't want fish.

[giggles] One, one sec...

This, please. S'il vous plaît.

Cervelles de Veau. Très bien.

- [Brenda] What's that? - [Donna] "Veau" is veal.

[Brenda] Garçon , make it deux.

[man] Très bien, mademoiselle.

[Brenda] See? That wasn't so hard, was it?

[both] Bon appetit .

[Andrea] All right, be careful. Good. Good toss.

Okay. All right, careful now.

If you toss it too hard it's going to break.

All right, Andrew, good catch.

Oh, my God, that was good.

Throw it well. Don't break it.

It's not over yet.

[Brandon] Incoming.

[Andrea screams]

Don't you, don't you dare.

Don't you even think it. Don't...

- [girl] Get her! - [Andrea] Whose side are you on?

- [Brandon] Ready, aim... fire! - [Andrea] Oh, my God.

[Andrea screams]

Game's over. Everybody in the water.

Come on, game's over.

Go!

[Brandon] Hey, I heard about your new job.

[Andrea] What a hoot, huh?

Me at the Republican Convention.

- [both laugh] - [Brandon] Will you tell Henry?

[Andrea] Already did. He gave me his blessings.

[Brandon] What about the kids? [Andrea] What about 'em?

Plenty of people can run day camps.

There's that girl from Beverly waiting in the wings.

[Brandon] Maybe,

but I'm sure she doesn't know sign language.

- [Andrea] Low blow. - [Brandon] No.

You dragged that kid into your group.

Now he's having the time of his life and you'll dump him.

[Andrea] This was not a lifetime commitment.

- [Andrea] His mom knows. [Brandon] Does Cameron?

[Andrea] Since when are you so worried

about a little boy's feelings?

[Brandon] I'm glad this is so easy for you, Andrea.

[Andrea] Thank you, Brandon.

I'm glad you're glad.

[Brenda] The food better be worth the wait.

[Donna] Me, too.

I am starving, I'm famished, I'm...

David?

[twinkling chimes]

[off-key chimes fading]

[Donna sighs]

I thought it was David for a second.

[Brenda] You've really got it bad.

[Donna] What do I have?

[Brenda] Dependent woman syndrome.

I read about it in a magazine.

You're imagining you see David

because you can't accept the idea

of your own independence.

[Donna] I just miss him.

[Brenda] You can't fall into that old stereotype,

you know, the clinging female who lives and dies by her man.

[Donna] Oh, look who's talking!

I mean, David and I are dating,

But you and Dylan were like living together.

[Brenda] No, we were playing house.

And it's partly why I came here,

to see what it takes to be my own boss,

not Daddy's little girl, or my boyfriends' little woman.

[Donna] And I thought we were just out to have fun.

[Brenda] We will, just give it half a chance.

[Donna] I'd be having a great time

if my dinner just got here.

[Brenda] Just think about what I'm saying,

otherwise it's going to be a really long summer.

[man] Cervelles de Veau.

[Donna laughs] Wait a second.

I ordered veal.

[man] Mais oui. Cervelles de veau.

Bon appetit.

[Donna] I'm not sure.

[Brenda] Okay, it looks weird.

But I'm sure it's edible.

[Donna] Great, right now, I could eat anything.

[fancy music starts playing]

[Brenda] It's very, uh...

French.

[Donna] It's, uh...

It's kind of mushy.

[plate clatters]

[Brenda] It's brains.

[Donna] Wow.

[uneasy music playing]

[Brenda] From now on, let's just stick to fish.

No problem.

[Kelly] I hope you recycle all that paper.

[Dylan] Hi, Kel.

[Kelly] Is that The Great American novel?

[Dylan] Hardly. It's a letter.

[Kelly] Tell Brenda I said hello.

[Dylan] It's not for Brenda.

It's for my father. He's up for parole.

[Kelly] I heard it on the news.

[Dylan] I'm to write a glowing letter

to convince the parole board

what a fabulous father he is. You know?

Needless to say, the words aren't coming easy.

[Kelly] I'll just leave you alone.

[Dylan] No. [sighs]

I need a break. You wanna get something?

[Kelly] Sure.

So, how's it going?

[Kelly] Not so hot.

Things with Jake didn't go so well.

[Dylan sighs]

You know I told him not to mess with you.

[Kelly] You did?

[Dylan] Yeah.

[Kelly] I really got sucked in.

I ended up throwing myself at him.

[Dylan] Some people are that powerful.

Can I have two mineral waters, please?

[Kelly] I guess I'm done with guys for a while.

But thanks for trying to look out for me.

[Dylan] Oh, hey, come on.

We were in the same kindergarten class.

[Kelly laughs] That's right.

Miss Carney.

As I recall, you were the king of "quiet time."

So you're having a hard time?

[Dylan sighs] Yeah.

I just can't come up with a single flattering thing

to say about my own father that I actually believe.

[Kelly] Well, when in doubt, lie.

[Dylan tsks] I may have to.

- [Brandon] Hey, Andrea. - [Andrea sighs]

- [Brandon] Where you off to? - [Andrea] A date.

[Brandon] Oh. What do you wanna go

with that guy to Houston for anyway?

[Andrea] Don't you approve? I don't need your say.

[Brandon] No, it's not that.

I just kind of wish you stuck around here.

I'll miss riding to work with you,

helping you out with the kids.

[Andrea] That's sweet.

[Brandon] Most of all I'll miss you.

[Andrea] Brandon...

[soft music playing]

What the hell was that?

[Brandon] Just how I feel.

[Andrea] Don't insult me like that, okay? Not now.

[Brandon] What are you talking about?

[Andrea] The only reason you're interested in me

is because I'm seeing someone else.

[Brandon] Not true.

[Andrea] Oh, yeah?

Then where have you been the last couple years?

You had your chance,

you made your choice.

Please get out of my way

because I have a date.

[Brandon] So break it.

[Andrea snorts]

What makes you think you're so irresistible?

[girl] Red Rover, Red Rover,

let Cameron come over.

[Andrea] Go, Cameron. Come on, you can do it.

Yay!

Cameron, good work.

All right!

Good work.

[Brandon] Tell me something,

why guys want the one girl

they can't have?

[Steve] I think it's hormonal.

[whistle blowing]

[Andrea] Okay, lunchtime.

Let's go, come on.

Everybody, one, two, three,

Run! Let's go.

[Brandon] Andrea...

[Andrea] Not now.

[Brandon] Please just listen to me.

[sighs]

I didn't sleep much.

I was thinking a lot about what I did and what you said.

[Andrea] And?

[Brandon] You were right.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to offend you or insult you.

[Andrea] Apology accepted.

[Brandon] That's it?

Just like that?

You have every reason to think I'm scum.

[Andrea] Pond scum.

- [Brandon] Yes. - [Andrea] With lousy timing.

[Brandon laughs]

So, uh...

Are we still friends?

[Andrea] Always.

[Brandon] Cool.

You really like him, don't you?

[Andrea] Yeah. I really do.

[Brandon] That's good.

I'm happy for you.

But I have to admit you did call it.

You never know what you've got till it's gone.

[Andrea] Thanks.

[French music starts playing]

[Brenda] Comment vous appellez-vous?

[Donna] Comment vous appellez-vous?

[Brenda] Je m'appelle Donna.

[Donna] Je m'appelle Donna.

[Brenda] Très bien, mademoiselle.

[Donna] It's easy to repeat,

but I was totally lost in class today.

How will I understand anyone at the party?

[Brenda] I'm sure someone will speak English.

And even if they don't, flirting is a universal language.

[Donna] I'm not out to pick anyone up.

Besides I would never do that to David.

[Brenda] This has nothing to do with David.

All I'm saying is that it's quite possible

you might enjoy talking to some cute Parisian guys.

If you want to, you'll find a way.

[Donna tsks] I know. I just miss David so much.

I keep thinking I see him, everywhere I go.

[Brenda] I miss Dylan, too.

It's just that I'm not obsessing over it.

I mean, he's there and I'm here.

It's harder for me because of that...

that language "thang".

[Brenda] All I can say is,

if Ann and Lynnette

can handle it, so can you.

[Donna] Hmm. Maybe the accents keep throwing me off.

Je m'appelle Lynnette.

[both laugh] [knocking]

[Donna] Oops.

[Lynette] Y'all ready to rock 'n' roll?

[Brenda] Train's a movin' gal.

[Maggie] Are you coming or what?

Remember, if you get into trouble,

just ask where the bathroom is.

Ou est la toilette? Got it?

[Brenda] Mais oui.

[Maggie] Bon. Allons-y.

[Donna laughs]

[French music playing]

[party music playing]

[Brenda] Oh, um...

[man 1] Vous etes tres jolie.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

[Donna] Um... ou est la toilette?

[Brenda] Oh, uh...

Non, merci.

[man 2] And where are you from?

[Lynette] Nous habitons en Texas.

[man 2] What did she say?

- [man 2] They live in Texas. - [man 3] Texas?

[man 3] Do you know George Bush?

[Lynette] No.

[man 3] Do you know Ross Perot?

Do you know him?

[Brenda] Excuse me.

[man 1] Vous etes très jolie.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

[Brenda] I sleep with her.

[man 1] Alors, the more the merrier , n'est ce pas?

[Brenda] I don't think so.

Dylan!

Dylan!

Excusez-moi.

[techno music playing]

[Kelly] That's it!

You're gonna get us kicked out!

- [Kelly] Hello. - [Dylan] Hi

- [Kelly] Where are you off to? - [Dylan] I'm going to jail.

[both chuckle]

[Dylan] It's for my father's parole hearing.

[Kelly] Well, good luck.

[Dylan] Thanks.

[Jack] Hey, Dylan.

[Dylan] Nice suit.

[Jack] A little big, but...

I've been on that prison diet.

This is some letter.

[Dylan] Glad you liked it.

[Jack] Guess I wasn't too bad a father after all.

[Dylan] Don't believe everything you read.

[Jack] "My father taught me never to give up.

When I was six, I was having trouble learning how to read.

Every night, no matter how busy he was,

my father would sit with me for hours."

"It wasn't sinking in. But one night,

I looked at the words and somehow it all clicked.

I never thanked my father for that."

"This is as good a time as any."

There won't be a dry eye in the house.

[Dylan] Except what I wrote wasn't really true.

My mom taught me how to read.

[Jack] That's a lot of crap, Dylan.

You have a damn selective memory.

[Dylan] Come on, Dad.

You were never around to teach me to read,

you were never around.

[Jack] Oh, yeah?

"I do not like them in a plane.

I do not like them on a train.

I do not like green eggs and ham."

[Dylan] "I do not like them, Sam I am."

[sighs]

[Jack] Listen, kid,

whatever happens in there...

I am glad that you're here.

[Dylan] Good luck, Dad.

[Jack] Let's do it.

[French music playing]

[Donna] I had tried what I thought were French pastries,

but somehow they taste so much better here.

Bren?

[Brenda] Hmm?

[Dona] What's wrong?

[Brenda] You know how you keep seeing David?

Well, it started happening to me.

And I started thinking, "What are we doing here?"

[Donna] We're immersing.

We're learning new things,

and a new language

and a new culture.

[Brenda] I'm starting to learn

that being in a romantic city isn't so romantic

when you can't share it with someone you love.

Not that I don't love you,

but you know what I mean.

[Donna] I guess I haven't been such a great travel companion.

[Brenda] You have been complaining, but...

I've been pretty bossy.

[Donna laughs]

I'm really glad you said that,

so I didn't have to.

[Brenda laughs]

We do do things our own way, don't we?

I don't know, I would hate for people to...

look at me and think I am a pampered kid

from West Beverly High.

I really want to be a whole person

with many sides, many talents and many interests.

I just don't know what they all are yet.

[Donna] Bren, I have a confession to make:

I'm really glad that you came, instead of Kelly.

[Brenda] Why?

[Donna] If she were here,

she'd be the one complaining,

and I would've felt like I had to cheer her up.

And honestly I just...

I just haven't had it in me.

[Brenda] I hear ya.

You know, you're gonna be okay,

and I'm gonna be okay.

I mean, this is the summer before our senior year.

We're gonna find out what it's like to be on our own

and we are gonna have the time of our lives.

[Donna] Absolument! [giggles]

So, what was that time difference again?

[Brenda] I'll race you to the phone.

[both giggle]

[kids talking]

- [girl 1] Dumbo? - [girl 2] I got it!

[girl 3] Mickey Mouse!

[boy 1] Bugs Bunny! Yeah!

[Andrea] Cameron's team wins again!

Come on, you guys.

Hi, how are you?

[Ellen] I just want to thank you so much.

Cameron's having such a terrific time.

- [Andrea] He's a great kid. - [Ellen] Yeah.

I'm really sorry you'll leave for the rest of the summer.

You've had such an impact on him.

Given him a terrific opportunity.

He's going to miss all this.

Thanks again.

[kids screaming]

[Kelly] Hey, sorry about your dad.

I heard it on the radio.

[Dylan] When they started dragging out affidavits

from like a hundred old women who'd lost their pension funds

in one of Jack's high quality investment portfolios,

we kinda knew it was over.

He'll be up for parole again in six months.

[Kelly] Did you finish the letter?

[Dylan] Yeah.

[Kelly] I guess we both know what it's

to have fathers who only care about themselves.

[Dylan] Brenda called last night.

[Kelly] She did? How's she doing?

[Dylan] They're having a great time.

She was going on with this story,

something about eating brains, I don't know.

[sighs] She seemed so far away.

[Kelly] Well, she is far away.

[Dylan] When she asked about what was going on here,

I didn't even tell her about my dad.

[Kelly] Why not?

[Dylan] To not bring her down.

[Kelly] They're off in Paris having the time of their lives

and we're stuck here, miserable.

[Dylan] To tell you the truth,

I'm not that miserable.

[Kelly] To tell you the truth, neither am I.

[Andrea] Hi.

[Ellen] I told him you were leaving.

[Andrea] I'd...

I'd like to talk to him myself, if that's okay.

[Ellen] Cameron...

[Andrea[ You and me, we're friends.

I like you.

[Brandon] It must be tough to say goodbye.

[Andrea] I wasn't saying goodbye.

I told him I changed my mind.

I decided I'm staying here all summer.

- [Brandon] You are? - [Andrea] Mm-hmm.

[Brandon] What happened?

[Andrea] Nothing.

[Brandon] What about Jay?

What about CNN? What about Houston?

[Andrea] Well, you hit the nail on the head, Brandon.

I mean, how can I turn my back on Cameron?

He needs me.

More than Jay, or CNN, or...

God knows, the Republican party.

[Brandon] So...

I had no nothing to do with your change of heart?

[Andrea] Of course not, you conceited jerk.

[Brandon laughs]

You never cease to amaze me, you know that?

[Andrea] Thank you, sir.

I do my best.

[Jay] You know this is a hell of an opportunity, don't you?

[Andrea] I know, there'll be other conventions.

[Jay] I didn't mean the convention.

[Andrea] I might still be here when you come back.

[Jay] I won't be. Not for long, anyway.

I mean, school starts in September,

and Evanston, Illinois, is far away from Beverly Hills.

[Andrea] But there are telephones, airplanes,

frequent flyer miles.

I mean...

If you're willing to try a long-distance relationship.

[Jay] I get December off,

a week at Thanksgiving.

[Andrea] Well...

That's not so bad.

[Jay] Yes, it is...

But I'm glad about one thing.

[Andrea] What?

[Jay] That you're staying for Cameron, not Brandon.

That's the reason, isn't it? You wouldn't lie to me, right?.

[Andrea] Hey, I'm a Democrat, remember? We don't lie.

[Jay] Yeah, right.

I guess one could make a case for the Democrats.

[whimsical music playing]

[Steve] Wake up, Andrea's having a major tug-of-war

and we need you.

[Dylan] All right.

Let's do some exercise.

[Kelly] Okay.

[all shouting]

- [Jay] Come on! Keep pulling! - [Andrea] You're doing good!

Come on, Annie! Come on!

We're gonna win. Let's pull!

[all screaming]

- [Steve] What? - [Brandon] Were you pulling?

- [Steve] Put on some weight! - [Brandon] Excuse me!

[Kelly laughs]

I'm sorry, I got tangled up.

[Dylan] Yeah, me, too.

[Steve] Come on, lovebirds. Get off the rope.
