[opening theme starts]

[water running]

[music playing on headphones]

David, get out of here! Mom!

I'm sorry,
I didn't know you were in here.

Get out of here now!

I'm... going, I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Oh...

You have season tickets
to the Kings?

Yeah. Maybe we'll go sometime.

- You're on.
- Andrea?

What did you do, sleep here?

[laughs] Now, there's a thought.

I could gain 20 minutes by
not commuting from home.

How To Get Into The College
of Your Choice?

- What's this?
- [sighs]

Brandon, college counseling
appointments are all this week.

Between the paper,
classes and rap line,

this is the only time I have
to prepare.

I'd have thought
colleges would be

throwing scholarship money
at your feet.

There've been a few,
but none of the top ones.

I mean, who wants to spend
four years going to school

in Cicely, Alaska?

Andrea, you're one of the
smartest kids at West Beverly.

I really don't think you
have much to worry about.

Brandon, getting accepted
into the right college

is the most important
thing in my life.

It's everything
I have ever worked for.

I understand.

We're all in the same boat here.

The same boat? The same boat?

Brandon, all you have
to do is figure out

where you're going to go
and you're set. I not only

have to figure out
where I'm going to go,

but how in the world
I'm going to pay for it.

Mr. Hutchins. I need you to open
up my locker. It won't budge.

Yeah? You're just going
to have to take a number, son.

As soon as I finish
with this here lightbulb,

I got to restock the boys'
bathroom with toilet paper.

Come on, man,
I got all my books in there.

Well... that's not my problem,
now, is it?

Tell you what.

You give me your locker number.

As soon as I'm done
with my other chores, I'll...

Hutch, Hutch!

Give me a break, please.

Oh, wipe that pathetic look
off your face, will you?

[sighs]

Which one is it?

Oh, your boyfriend is
a sleaze monger.

Kelly, you said yourself
that David had a Walkman on.

- How could he hear the shower?
- I don't know!

But that's not the point.
The point is that

I've no privacy in my own home.
It is so humiliating.

Kelly, what happened
to you yesterday?

- I waited until 3:30.
- Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Teasley.
It totally slipped my mind.

Kelly, these college

counseling sessions
are very important.

Your whole future's
on the line here.

- You can't just forget about it.
- I know.

You'll need to reschedule

as soon as possible.

Donna, don't forget.

Your appointment's tomorrow.

I won't. 10:00.

Yeah, remind me to put
that on the top of my list

of things to do.

Thanks, Hutch, I appreciate it.

Yeah, next time it's
going to cost you.

Man, did you forget your
locker combination again?

What, is this,
like, the 30th time?

Fourth, but who's counting?

Now, listen up, all you Wildcat
cheerleading wannabes.

Tryouts for the cheerleading
squad will take place...

Uh...

Uh, th-the tryouts...

David, stop staring at me!

Uh, uh,
cheerleading tryouts will be

Wednesday at 3:00.

What's going on with you
and Kelly, man?

Nothing, it's just a
little family squabble.

Come on, David, fess up.

Hey, man, I'm not just
your business associate.

I'm your friend.

Either way, I'm here for you.

Who taught you how to kiss?

Kissers aren't made.

They're born.

But there's always a first time.

Who was she?

Her name was Trudy.

It was in fifth grade.

She charged a quarter a lesson.

Damn good teacher.

Glad to see you've gotten
over this age thing.

[laughs]

[chuckles]
You're yanking my chain, Silver.

Steve, I swear.

Okay, a little pop quiz.

Does Kelly Taylor have any
distinguishing birthmarks?

Yeah, on her upper left thigh.

Uh, it's sort of shaped
like a pear.

Actually, no,
it's a little more like a pear

with a bite out of it.

Oh, you dirty dog.

She's a goddess, Steve.

I know.

I said stop staring at me!

[Kelly groans]

It is not like David walked
in on you on purpose.

Would you just give him a break?

I can't believe you're
sticking up for him.

You know what I think?

I think you're jealous.

- Excuse me?
- Well...

for the first time, I have
a boyfriend and you don't,

and I think it's getting to you.

[scoffs]
That is absolutely untrue.

All right. Let's get started by
opening our creative minds

and exploring the subject
that has fascinated

artists for centuries...

the female form.

Artists have always expressed
their visions

in so many different ways,

the most famous
of course being the nude.

Any one of you here know
of any famous nudes?

Venus De Milo?

Good, Nikki, yes.

[quietly] Kelly Taylor.

Hey, hey.

Oh, what are these, man?

Cliff Notes to Of Mice and Men?

I read the book, okay?
These just help me

with my comprehension.

Mm-hmm, ah, what's this?

Meyers' reading list.

- Good old AP English.
- Faulkner, Fitzgerald,

Norman Mailer, Theodore Dreiser,

and the poetry
of Langston Hughes.

That's good stuff, man.

You read 'em all, huh?

Every one. [chuckles]

Hey, Kel, how you doing?

- Is Peeping Silver here?
- No.

Then I'm fine.

Kelly, I hear
you've been giving David

- a pretty rough time.
- Word gets around.

I mean, can you
blame the kid? God knows,

I'd be staring
if I saw you standing there

all wet and naked.

Dylan.

- Brandon, is Brenda here?
- No, she's at home preparing

for her college
counseling meeting.

- Preparing?
- Yeah.

She's not preparing.
She's obsessing.

Hey, come on guys, this
college thing's important.

- Not to me.
- Not to me.

I've narrowed it down

to Swarthmore, Duke, Vassar
and Brandeis.

What?

- Colleges.
- Oh.

What's your first choice?

None of them.

Then, where do
you want to go?

There's only really one school
I've been dreaming of

ever since I started
high school.

Sounds like?

Yale.

Hmm.

Sounds like Yale.

What's stopping
you, Andrea?

I don't know.
I mean, it's just...

it's just Yale.

Come on, I mean, Andrea, if
anybody's got a shot you do.

They'd be lucky to have you.

Absolutely. Do it for all of us.

[sighs]

[Dylan] Come on Andrea,
you can do it.

You can do it...

If you make it over here,
you can go to Yale.

Besides, we're counting on you.

Hey, Andrea...

isn't Gil Meyers
your AP English teacher?

Yeah...

And your newspaper advisor?

Yeah.

So what's he doing
in your dream?

Mr. Meyers, stop it.
You're gonna make me fall.

Andrea, I didn't know I had that
kind of effect on you.

- [laughs]
- [screams]

[screams]

B-plus average, plus your
extra curricular activities--

I think you'll have
some excellent choices.

Have you decided where
you'd like to apply?

I'm not sure.

I was thinking about
Northwestern.

I hear they have a great
journalism department.

Definitely Northwestern.

They have one of the best
theater departments

in the country
and I love acting.

Stanford's kind
of a long shot.

Stanford's near the top
of my list.

And I was also thinking
about NYU.

But I don't know...
living in New York City?

Greenwich Village and Broadway.

Wow, I would love
to live in Manhattan.

I hear BU's a good school.

Those are all
excellent choices,

but they're also
pretty expensive,

and I'm sure you know
it costs a lot more

to go to school out of state.

- We're not exactly rich.
- We're not exactly poor.

Hi, sweetheart.

How are things?

Jim, it's happening.

They're talking college.

We knew we had to face
this sooner or later.

Yeah. I just wish
it were later.

Hi, kids. How's it going?

We're talking futures here, Dad.

All right, Dad, what's your
dream college for me?

Well... there's a lot of good
colleges that are, uh...

Jim...

What's the matter?

You're mother and I
figured a few things out...

a few financial things...

Boy, I don't know why this is
so hard for me to say.

- Just say it, Dad.
- Well...

With business being a
little slow and the recession

and a few other factors...

we realized that we can only
afford to send one of you

to an expensive,
out-of-state college.

- You're kidding.
- We wish we were.

Honey, when we moved
here from Minnesota, we had to

put a big chunk
of our savings into this house.

And a lot of our other
investments went south.

[Cindy] And with college tuition
running up to

$20,000 a year...

Plus room and board times two...

We just don't have
that kind of money

lying around right now.

What about financial aid?

That's the catch-22.

We're too rich for financial aid

and we're too poor
for it not to matter.

So, what are you gonna do?

Which one of us
is gonna be able to go?

I think
the best thing to do is

put our heads together
and try and come up with

some fair
and equitable solution.

Why should I take a back seat?
Because I'm a girl?!

- Brenda.
- Oh, that is totally bogus

- and you know it!
- Brandon.

- I don't know it!
- This has nothing to do with it!

It has to do with you
getting a free ride.

- Cut it out, guys!
- No, Dad.

Brenda, you've always gotten
everything you've wanted,

one way or the other.
And I've never said anything.

- But this time I won't allow it.
- What do you mean?

Let's just take a look at the
record here for a minute, okay?

Who's the guy who's been working
since he was a sophomore,

and never asks Mom and Dad
for a dime?

- Oh, get over yourself, Brandon!
- Hey, guys, just cut it out!

This is hard enough for us!

Now I thought that we could
discuss this as a family

but I guess I was wrong.

Now your mother and I
will talk this over

and we'll give you our decision
at the end of the week.

Come on, Bren,
you know as well as I do,

Mom and Dad
are gonna give it to you.

I don't always get what I want.

Yes, you do.

It's a fact of life
I've come to accept.

Brandon, that is not true.

They've been easier on you
ever since we were little.

Oh, really?

Remember when I crashed Mondale

and they wouldn't let me
drive for six months

and then I had
to buy my own car?

What did you expect?
"Here's a new car, Brandon.

This time, try not
to drive it into a truck."

You lie to them, you run off to
Mexico with your boyfriend here,

and they reward you with a trip
to Paris! What's that?

Time out, you guys.
When the bell rings,

go to your
neutral corners and chill out.

Yeah, Brandon, you should
really try and chill out.

Bren, you guys are blowing
this way out of proportion.

I'm telling you right now.

Oh, that's easy for you you say.
You're rich.

Haven't you ever even thought of
where you'd like to

go to college?

I didn't think
there was any point.

I mean, maybe if my learning
disability had been found

sooner, I could've
done better in my classes.

But it's too late now.

I couldn't disagree
with you more, Donna.

There are dozens of fine
colleges with special programs

for people with all sorts
of learning disabilities.

I know.

Have you spoken with
your parents about this?

Yes.

And?

And... they seem to think

that Beverly Hills Community
College is the place for me.

There's nothing
wrong with that,

but there are lots
of other options.

Unless money's a problem.

No, it has nothing to do
with money, Mrs. Teasley.

It's just...

I don't think my father
really believes

I have a learning disability.

Why do you think that?

I don't know...

I guess he just figures
I'm not too smart.

They just figure
I'll major in shopping anyway.

They're probably right.

Steve, I'm having flashbacks.

Enjoy it. Use it.

You don't understand.
I can't work.

I can't concentrate.

All I can think about is
Kelly naked

and glistening wherever I go.

[Steve] Yeah, I know
the visual on that is

pretty mind-blowing, but, look,

bask in the glow of the moment
and move on with your life.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Brandon.

You know big Dave's stressing
because he can't get the visual

of Kelly Taylor
in the buff out of his mind.

Ah, the infamous shower scene.

You know about that, too?

- Silver, you're a celebrity.
- Don't sweat it.

Guys undress girls
in their mind all the time.

- All the time.
- It's no biggie.

Like that one.

You guys that's Sue Scanlon,
Scott's little sister.

I've known her since I was four.

I can't look at her.

- Hi, David.
- Hi, Sue.

Excuse me, guys.
I couldn't help but overhear.

Have you guys ever, you know...
undressed me in your minds?

I'm doing it right now.

Andrea, you look fabulous.

- Ooh.
- Mm.

Does a burger
come with that shake?

[laughter]

Hi, Andrea.

Mr. Meyers.

Andrea, call me Gil, please.

Whatever. Uh, were you ever
in the circus?

What?

Did you ever, uh, run off
and join the circus?

No, but I ran off
and went to Yale.

You did?

I'm thinking
of applying to their

early admissions program.

Just thinking about it...

Really... good luck.

What do you mean good luck?

Are you saying
that I shouldn't apply?

No, not at all.

It's just that they're
very selective.

Don't you think I have as
good a chance as anyone else?

Of course you do.
I'm just saying that

you might not want to put

all your eggs in one basket.

[Andrea] Oh, he hates me.

He doesn't hate you.

He was just being realistic.
Yale's a tough school.

Brandon, he was discouraging
me from even trying.

He never does that with you.

Let's not get
into that again, okay?

Oh, yeah, let's not.
Don't wanna rock the boat.

Andrea, you're not the only
person around here

with college
problems, all right?

- What are you talking about?
- Let me put it this way,

money doesn't exactly grow on
trees around my house, either.

I thought your dad
was doing fine.

He is but with two of us to
contend with, it ain't easy.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I must say, it's wonderful
to have a student

who's actually zeroed
in on what he wants.

USC is numero uno.

In fact, it's the only numero.

It's a tradition with my family.

My father was an alumni there,

so was my uncle.

That'll certainly help.

But you'll need a little more

than a legacy to get accepted.

I know this isn't cool
to say, Mrs. Teasley,

but we've got the bucks.

I'm referring to your grade
point average, Steven,

not your bank account.

You have a D-plus average.

Really? I thought I had
a C-minus.

Now, I'm not saying USC
is out of the question,

but unless you start putting
a few more A's into the mix,

you'd better start thinking
about numero dos.

Kelly, wait up.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

Uh, how about a lift home?

So you can stare at me while
I drive? I don't think so.

- Kelly, wait.
- What?

What is going on with you?

Nothing. I don't know what
you're talking about.

Kelly, I know you.

You haven't been yourself
lately. Something's wrong.

Something more than David
walking in on you in the shower.

What gave it away?

Kelly, I'm your best friend.

I've never seen you so down,
for so long.

I don't know.

Maybe it's all
the college stuff.

I just can't get into it.

I don't know what college
I want to go to. And I have

no idea what I want
to do for the rest of my life.

I just feel kind of useless.

Why didn't you say
something to me?

Because you seemed so
excited about everything.

I didn't want to bring you down.

Kelly, I feel really bad.

Is there anything that I can do?

If we hurry, we can
catch an movie in Westwood.

We can hang out tonight.

I can't. I'm supposed
to go to Dylan's later.

Hey, do you want to come?

No, that's okay.

Three's a crowd.

I just feel so helpless.
I mean, Kelly's my best friend.

I can't just sit by and watch
her get more and more depressed.

I'm sure she knows
you mean well, Bren.

Hand me that socket wrench.

Dylan, we're talking
about Kelly's future.

No, Bren, we're not-- you are.

That one.

And what does that mean?

I mean, maybe Kelly doesn't
want to go to college.

Of course, she does.
Everybody does.

Not everybody, Bren.
I don't want to, I'm not going.

I can't believe
you're saying that.

I told you that a long time ago.

Yeah, but I didn't think
you really meant it.

Have you ever known me to say
anything I didn't mean?

Dylan, you're just doing this
to get back at your father.

I don't do things
to get back at people, Brenda.

I know.

I shouldn't have said that.

No, you shouldn't have.

I just assumed that we'd both
be going to the same college.

Hand me the feeler gauge,
will ya?

What does it look like?

Uh, it looks like
a pocket knife.

- Is this it?
- Yeah.

So, what about us?

I mean, what if I
go away to college?

We'll cross that bridge
when the time comes.

I'll be done here in a second.
Do you wanna go for a ride?

No, I hate motorcycles.

Besides, we're talking about
something serious, Dylan.

Look, Bren, do me a favor, okay?

I don't want you, or anybody
else for that matter,

trying to plan my future.

I know that Dylan has the right
to do whatever he wants.

But can't you talk to him,
explain how important college's.

Brenda, the best way to insure
that Dylan never goes to college

is for me to tell him to go.

But, Dad, he might be throwing
his whole life away.

We have to do something.

Now, don't take
this the wrong way,

but has it ever occurred to you
that maybe you and Dylan

are beginning to move in
two different directions?

I can't believe
you're starting this again.

Honey, you asked me to
take your relationship

with Dylan seriously.
That's exactly what I'm doing.

Oh, by trying to break us up?!

I'm not trying to break you up.
Not in any way.

But let me ask you something.

What were you and Dylan
doing tonight

when you should have
been studying?

- Dad...
- Well?

Look, it's not what you think.
He was fixing his motorcycle.

Exactly my point.

Which is?

Dylan is a young man with,
as far as I can tell,

absolutely no goals
and no ambition whatsoever.

- Dad...
- I'm not trying to be harsh.

I'm being realistic.

You have to ask yourself:

Who would he be
without his money?

A kind, caring,
sensitive person.

The person that I love.

That may well be.

But we're talking
about the future.

I mean, look, you
and your brother

are at each others throats
about what college to go to

and all Dylan seems to want is
to spend the rest of his life

surfing at the beach and
tinkering with his motorcycle.

You have to ask yourself:
Is that what you want?

Hello, anybody home?

[Cindy] Hi, honey. How was work?

Greasy.

So, where's the troops?

Oh, your dad's upstairs
talking to Brenda.

Oh, really?

Did Dad need to talk to Brenda

or did Brenda need
to talk to Dad?

- Well...
- Unbelievable.

She's gonna win.
She always does.

What are you talking about?

Mom, it seems
going to some fancy college

means a whole lot more to Brenda
than it does to me, so I'm

gonna make everyone's life
around here a little easier.

I'm gonna apply
to California University,

which is cheap
and right here in L.A.

And my second choice will be
University of Minnesota.

And I'll even use
Grandma's address,

so you and Dad don't have
to pay out-of-state tuition

and everyone will be happy.

Brandon...

[Cindy] Just because
Brandon says he'll go

to a state school,
doesn't mean he wants to.

He's just giving up, Jim.

You know how he is.

Isn't that better
than them

being at each other's throats?

But that's not the point.

Sometimes I really
think Brandon

does deserve it more
because he has worked so hard.

Brandon worked because
he wanted extra money

to buy a car, Brenda didn't.

She shouldn't be
penalized for that.

I hate being in this position.

Jim?

Hmm?

What about taking out
a second mortgage on the house?

Honey, you know what
you're talking about?

Living in debt.

Always having that thing
hanging over us.

We said we'd never do that.

But how are we ever
gonna choose?

[sighs] I don't know.

I feel like I'm walking
a tightrope.

[Brandon] Go for it, Andrea.

Brandon,
what are you doing here?

I'm always in your
dreams, aren't I?

I don't know if I can do this.

It's Meyers, isn't it?

Why are you letting
that guy rattle you?

- He went to Yale, remember?
- So what?

He's not in charge
of admissions.

I know.

What should I do?

You should go for what
you want, Andrea.

Don't let Gil Meyers or
anybody else stand in your way.

You think so?

Come on.

It's show time.

[fanfare trumpets]

[sawing]

- Mr. Meyers, what are you doing?
- Hey!

I thought I was the only
guy in your dreams.

Why do you keep haunting me?

Really, Andrea.

I didn't know I had
that kind of effect on you.

[Mr. Meyer laughs]

[laughter]

[screams] No!

What took you so long to come
to your senses, big guy?

Just give me the key, will you?

And so...

the torch is passed.

At this time next year,

you'll be pledgin
our fraternity.

Is this really the master key
to the school?

Every office,

every filing cabinet,

every grade bank.

The legacy's in your
hands now, Steve.

Guard it with your life.

[music plays]

Damn!

[entrance bell rings]

What dragged you out of bed

on this fine
Beverly Hills morning?

I'm meeting B.J. for breakfast.

Oh, yeah, sure, he's over there.

I'll take your
order in a minute.

B, just tell me one thing.
Was this a solo operation

or was the whole fraterny
involved in it?

What have you been putting
in your granola, Sanders?

Oh, it was a real funny joke.

You tell the guys
back at the house

that I really went for the bait.

You sent me
on a wild goose chase, man.

Hey, lamebrain, I gave you

the West Beverly Legacy Key.

The same key
that was given to me,

and the guy before me,
and the guy before him.

Then why didn't it work?

I don't know, maybe they
changed the locks.

You ever think
of that one, Einstein?

Now remember, relative size
is the key to perspective.

And don't hold back, please.

Learning to draw is a blending

of technique and spirituality.

If she starts
passing out crystals,

- I'm out of here.
- Shh!

Excuse me.

Oh, much better, Nikki.

- Thank you.
- Just let it happen.

You're welcome.

Donna,

you have a very graceful stroke.

Where have you trained?

Nowhere, I just like to draw.

Then you should.

- Should what?
- Train.

Have you ever thought
about going to art school?

Are you serious?

- May I?
- Yeah.

People, this is the work
of an artist.

[giggles]

Can you believe this?
If this happens,

this will be so incredible.
I mean,

I've never really thought about
art school before

until she said it.

- Hi.
- Hi. Oh, Bren,

- I have got the greatest news.
- What?

Ms. Signorelli,
she said she thinks

I should apply to the College
of Art and Design.

I mean, I told her drawing
was just a hobby for me,

but she said not
with the right training.

She wants me to make a portfolio
and she's going to help me.

- Isn't that the best?
- Mm-hm.

Oh, I have got to go
tell Mrs. Teasley. Bye.

Bye, Donna.
What was that all about?

Something about
"nurturing raw talent."

Kelly, can I talk
to you for a second?

Yeah.

So what's up?

Kelly, do you think Dylan
and I have anything in common?

Where did that come from?

From my dad,
we had a talk last night

and a couple things
he said really got to me.

I mean, lately it's like
Dylan and I are

on two different wavelengths.

In what way?

For starters,
I go over to his house

to talk about college
and all he wants to do is

- work on his motorcycle.
- Brenda, he is your boyfriend,

not your Siamese twin.

You guys can lead separate
lives and still go out.

I know.

It's just that Dylan's
not very ambitious.

I guess he doesn't have to be
with all that money.

- Is that a problem for you?
- I didn't think it was

until my dad mentioned it.

Have you talked
to Dylan about it?

No, not yet.

Why not?

Because what if my father's
right?

Isn't that your
sister over there?

Yeah, we're not
on speaking terms today.

I used to get in fights
all the time with my brothers

and sisters when I lived
in San Francisco.

A drag, isn't it?

I don't know.

I kind of miss it.

You're one sick puppy,
you know that?

So why are you and your
sister not on speaking terms?

There was a minor incident

at Casa Walsh
yesterday in regards to

who gets to go away
to college and who doesn't.

- Mm.
- Brenda went for the kill

and lobbied my dad
behind my back.

I'm sure glad I don't
have to worry about that yet.

Besides, what's the big deal?

I mean, isn't
California University

one of the best
colleges in the country?

Yeah.

So maybe you ought
to think about it.

I mean, I don't want
to start going out

with a senior just before
he goes away to school.

[both chuckle]

We're going out, are we?

If I have anything
to say about it.

Something tells me you do.

[knocking]

Brandon.

Bren, I got a lot of work to do.

I just wanted
to let you know

that you can go away
to school if you want.

Hold it.

What happened?

Nothing.

I just had some time to think,

and decided that maybe
you were right.

Maybe you do deserve it more
than I do.

Bren, you and I both know
you're not doing this

out of the goodness
of your heart.

Something else is going on.
I want to know what it is.

It's not a what.

It's a who.

[phone rings]

Yeah.

[Brenda] Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm just waxing the bike.

Look, Dylan, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean...

I wasn't trying
to plan your future.

[Dylan] Yeah.

I guess I was just scared.

Scared of what?

It's hard to think
about going away to college

and you not being there.

Maybe you'll give me those
frequent visitation rights.

Yeah,
you won't have to travel far.

I'm not going away.
I'm going to school in L.A.

Bren, are you doing this
because of us?

Dylan, our relationship

hasn't exactly
thrived long-distance.

Don't plan your life around me.

But you're a part of my life.

I thought
I was a part of yours, too.

Yes, you are. You're a big part.

But, if you don't do this
for yourself,

you're going to resent me,
and I don't want that.

[knocking on door]

Hold on a sec.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Is it a bad time?

- No.
- I can go.

Come on in.

Brenda?

Yeah. What happened?

Nothing.
I got to take care of something.

Can I call you back?

Yeah. Sure.

Think about what I said.

I will.

And, Dylan, I love you.

I love you.

So tell me, Kel.
What brings you by?

Do I need an excuse?

I saw your lights were on.

Brenda said you were working
on your bike.

It looks great.

Thanks.

Listen. I found these wrenches
in my garage.

One of my stepdads
must have left them behind.

God knows Mel doesn't know
what to do with tools, so here.

I thought maybe
you could use them.

Thank you.

I've been moping
around for the past few weeks.

Yeah. I noticed.

I thought
it was just college stuff,

but the truth is...
I miss our friendship.

I mean, I keep avoiding you,
but why should I?

If I want to talk to you,

why do I need an excuse
like a set of wrenches?

It's a very nice set
of wrenches.

It's like, you and I are
the only two people

in the whole school

who haven't gone
completely manic

about this whole college thing.

I think it's because

we both have a pretty good idea
what we don't want.

And, in my book, that's just
as important as knowing

what you do want.

So am I ever going
to get to ride this thing?

I think so.

I'll see you tomorrow, Dylan.

[phone rings]

Hello.

[Dylan] Hi.

Hi. Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Bren, we're going
to make it through this.

I hope so.

We will. I...

I don't want you to miss out

on anything because of me.

Dylan, if I stay here,
I won't miss anything.

I'll have everything I want.

[knocking]

- I'm on the phone...
- Yeah, get off.

Mom and Dad are waiting
downstairs to have another one

of their family discussions.

I have to go.

I love you, Bren.

I love you, too.

We've looked at this
from every angle possible.

And a few that weren't.

And it always came down
to one thing.

How do we choose
between our children?

And the answer is... we don't.

And that's why
we've decided that

the two of you should be looking

at any school you want to go to.

And your mother and I will do
anything we can to help.

Wait a minute. Did someone win
the lottery around here?

No. Somebody's taking out a
second mortgage on our house.

So, we'll die in debt.

It's the American way.

Thanks, guys, but you're
not gonna have to do that.

- We're not?
- No.

I decided to go
to college right here.

- You did?
- Ever since

we moved to Beverly Hills,
I've been dreaming of

going to California University.

I guess I just got wrapped up
in all the excitement.

So, Brandon,
I guess it's up to you.

Now that you have all those
thousands of dollars

at your fingertips,
where are you gonna apply?

California University.

- What?!
- What?!

When I found out
I might've to settle

for a state school,

I, uh, did a little research
of my own.

Found out I wouldn't
have to settle at all.

California University's one of
the best schools in the country,

and they do publish an award-
winning college newspaper.

And their theater and film
department's one of the top ten.

I don't know
whether to be incredibly happy

or incredibly angry
that you put us through all this

- or incredibly relieved...
- Jim.

Incredibly happy.

[Brenda] Ooh, I have
a good idea!

Why don't you guys take all
that money that you're saving

on private college
and give it to Brandon and me

for our high school
graduation gifts.

- You see, now, that's an idea.
- Mm-hmm.

[both] Not!

[laughter]

[announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen,

may we call your attention
to the center ring.

Our daring guest for talent's
about to take her place

high in the sky
above the big top.

[creaking]

[Meyers] Hey, Andrea!

[echoing]
You're not gonna make it.

[laughs]

Oop, looks like you're slipping.

Hasta la vista, baby!

[screams]

[fanfare playing]

[applause]

[crowd]
You can do it! You can do it!

You can do it, yeah!

You can do it! You can do it!

[cheering]

[fanfare, applause]

Mr. Meyers.

Andrea. I didn't
expect you until later.

Couldn't stay away, huh?

Um... actually, I, um,

I-I came here
to tell you something.

No matter what you think,
no matter how much you try

to shake my confidence,
I am still applying to Yale.

And I'm doing it because

I want to and because...

because they would be
lucky to have me.

And if I don't make it,
it won't be the end of the world

because I'll know that
I have tried.

Now, if you can't
support that... fine.

That's terrific.

What?

You're exactly the kind of
person Yale's looking for.

Wait, were...

Were you just testing me
the other day?

Hey, if I'm going to write a
glowing letter of recommendation

for somebody, I better be sure.

Do you have any idea
what you've put me through?

I didn't know I had
that kind of effect on you.

- Hey, what's up, Steve?
- Later, man.

[knocking]

[tense music starts]

[door creaking]

Forget your combination
again, son?

It's not what you think.
I, uh...

Oh, no, no, I know
what you're here for.

You're not the first senior

who tried to get
his hands on the key.

Mr. Hutchins, I swear,
I wasn't gonna do anything bad.

That's for sure.

'Cause the only place
that key on the wall

is gonna get you is
into my RV in Oxnard.

All you're gonna find in there
are a couple of fishing poles.

This... this is what I believe
you were looking for.

Look, just let me
get out of here.

We'll forget about
this whole thing.

That might be difficult, son.

This is a serious offense.

You could get kicked
out of school for this.

Please! I...

I'm graduating.
I don't want any trouble.

I'll bet you never thought
about the kind of trouble

you could've gotten me into,
now, did you?

All right. Um...

What'll it take?

What are you talking about?

A C-note-- we'll forget
about the whole thing.

This must be important to you.

Very important.

I don't see why anyone
has to know about this.

Thank you.

Any more
where this come from,

you could buy yourself
a legacy key.

How did you know it was
called the legacy key?

Like I said,
you're not the first.

There you are.
I've been looking for you.

- You have?
- Mm-hmm.

I think I owe you
an apology, David.

- You do?
- Yeah.

This whole new
Taylor/Silver setup

has been a little weird
for me, too.

Anyway, I've got some ideas--

some bathroom scheduling,
stuff like that--

to make things run
a little smoother around here.

I can live with that.

Or we're both gonna have to be
a lot more careful.

Definitely. Look, seriously,
it really was an accident.

I know. And I've been giving you
a lot of grief.

And I'm sorry.

It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

And to prove to you
how sorry I am,

I've got a very special,

very private little treat
for you right now.

[water running]

Uh, Kelly, that's not necessary.

Oh, but it is.

Kelly...

Pleasant dreams.
