DAVID (echoes over P.A.): Is this thing on?

Testing, testing, one, two, three, four.

Testing, one, two, three, four.

Is anybody out there?

Check. Check?

Check, check.

Testing, one, two, three.

Mike check for California University Mardi Gras.

Check, check, check.

Testing.

Testing one, two.

(microphone feedback); Testing, one, two, three, four.

Why do they always say that?

(carousel music playing)

You got any better ideas?

Yeah. Testing,

four, three, two, one.

(bell rings, carousel music plays)

We better get going.

Where's Steve?

KEITH: Great. (grunting)

How much more of this mud do you think we need?

Keep mixing. If we're gonna fall in this stuff,

I want a nice soft landing.

I'm telling you guys, we should have used chocolate pudding.

Muntz, you're always thinking about food.

What's up with that?

Hey, Steve, come on.

I got to go, guys.

Where you going?

The hospital.

(monitor beeping rhythmically)

(indistinct talking)

WOMAN: Right now, 80 over 60.

WOMAN: We're going to wash your belly now...

MAN: Instruments sterile?

WOMAN: It may be just a little...

MAN: You should be starting to feel a little numb now

from the local.

Good. Good.

I'm going to give you some pure oxygen.

Take slow deep breaths.

That's it.

(beeping)

There might be some pressure.

Don't worry. Just relax.

Okay, people, let's go. Nurse?

All right, okay, Doctor, we're all set.

WOMAN: Andrea, the baby's doing fine.

The heart rate's good.

We have the pediatrician standing by.

In just a few minutes, you're going to be a mommy.

(elevator bell dings)

Did she have it yet?

No news.

Is anybody else here?

Waiting room.

You know where the bathroom is?

Yeah, it's around the corner.

Hi. Want some coffee? Hi. Want some coffee?

Does this mean we're still talking?

Of course we're still talking.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Dr. Klein, telephone, please.

So, how long have you been here?

A couple hours, but, uh, I've got to go now, though.

Where are you going?

Kevin and I have some business at Jim Walsh's office.

You got a problem, Kel?

Not anymore.

Dr. Widen, telephone, please. Dr. Widen.

Brandon, what are you doing here?

I thought you were supposed to be catching a plane to DC.

Well, I figured, Andrea was having a baby.

I'd just blow off the task force, no big deal.

Brandon.

BRENDA: Kelly, don't listen to him.

He's taking the red-eye out tonight.

I just wanted to make sure everything was all right.

Well, what if everything isn't all right?

Dr. Siedelman...

STEVE: Hey, hey, hey.

Guess who I found wandering around the halls.

Hey, Jesse.

So... So, are you a dad?

Yup, looks like I am. All right. Yup, looks like I am. All right.

Way to go, Papa. Thanks.

Is it a boy or a girl? It's a girl.

It's a... it's a very tiny little girl.

Well, can we see her? Uh, not for a while.

Since she's a preemie, they had to take her right into ICU.

How's Andrea doing? Good. Good.

She's pretty good. She's still a little out of it, but...

Well, can we see her?

Steve, she just had a cesarean.

Dr. Beager...

Well, give her our love, will ya?

I will, I sure will.

Thanks a lot for coming, you guys.

It-It means a lot to both of us.

DAVID: Take care, man.

Yeah, thanks, man.

Bye. See ya. Bye. See ya.

Hey, bro, this is for the baby.

Special delivery right from Mardi Gras.

What's this?

(Jesse laughs)

Thanks, Steve. She'll love it.

Congratulations. Thanks.

Well, wait. What's the baby's name?

Uh, well, that we're still negotiating.

Well, I still vote for Brenda.

You would. Oh, bye. You would. Oh, bye.

See you.

Listen, Bran,

I know you've got to leave town tonight, but if you could

hang around a while, Andrea would love to see you.

Lead the way.

Dr. Weiss, telephone, please. Dr. Weiss...

You know, before we go in there,

you should know that things with the baby are going

to be touch and go for the next 48 hours.

She's-She's really small.

How small?

(sighs)

Two pounds, eight ounces.

Well, you know what they say.

Good things come in small packages.

Yeah. Let's hope so.

You know, I...

I'm trying to keep my spirits up for Andrea, but, man, it's hard.

Well, you're doing a great job, man.

Thanks.

Hiya, Chief.

(quiet sigh)

Brandon, you stayed.

BRANDON: Of course.

I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

You know they won't let me see my baby yet.

Well, that's just because they're sprucing her up for you.

Jesse said she has my nose.

Cutest little nose I've ever seen.

(laughs)

So, how you doing?

I don't know, I'm numb.

How long you got to stay in this joint?

As long as they let me.

I'm not going to go home until my baby does.

Well, then, I guess

I'll see you two when I get back from Washington.

Say hi to Bill and Hillary for us, would you?

Will do.

Give 'em hell, Brand.

You give 'em hell.

Thanks.

Bye.

See ya.

Hmm.

So, if just you turn to page 17 in the prospectus,

you'll note that we've separated out

the R & D costs from the initial startup funds,

and we've purposely tried

to keep the initial returns relatively conservative.

Too conservative, in my opinion.

Well, we certainly want to err on the side of caution.

I really appreciate everything you've all done.

Uh, anybody else here need a bathroom break?

I do. Excuse me.

Take your time.

(phone ringing)

Kevin, I, uh...

I'm not the only one in the room there

that didn't fully understand what was going on, right?

To tell you the truth, it went over my head, too,

and I'm the one who invented the damn thing. Yeah.

Guys, relax. The company is behind you on this.

Well, I wish I could have paid more attention in there,

but to tell you the truth,

all I could think about is getting married tomorrow.

Congratulations. That's great.

KEVIN: Thanks.

I better hit the head.

Hurry back.

What, are you a little anxious?

Dylan, the people in that room

represent an awful lot of investment capital.

The people in that room are going to make me a rich man.

(laughs) Thought you already were a rich man.

Well...

(carousel music playing)

(women screaming)

DAVID (over P.A.): Well, it looks like the Spring Carnival has officially begun.

And already we have our first lost child.

So if the parents of Maxine Frankel

are looking for her, don't worry.

She's doing just fine.

And spend that money, guys.

Remember, it's all going to the Cal Camp General Fund.

We got rides,

we got games, we got great food.

And on the main stage in about five minutes,

we've got the South Quad's own Green Tangerine.

And we got great acts coming up all weekend long.

Going out with a bang this Sunday

live and in person, we have Babyface.

As a matter of fact,

one of his people are here right now

making sure that everything is just hunky-dory for the big guy.

Everything is okay, isn't it?

Uh, oh, so enjoy yourselves,

and we'll keep you posted.

What's Ariel doing here?

I just talked to her this morning.

She's just doing her job.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Ariel.

The stage looks amazing.

Yeah, well, we aim to please.

So, is everything okay?

Yeah, great. I um... I stopped by to give you the guest list.

I know it's a little long, but you know how it is.

I can imagine.

Oh, and while I'm here, I was wondering

if you guys had any extra parking passes.

Oh, yeah, sure, no problem.

Come on. I'll get 'em for you. Great.

Good to see you again, Donna.

Same here.

STEVE: Come on, Muntz, swing harder and aim!

Come on, he's lunch meat!

Pretend he's a cupcake and ice him.

Friends, Romans, countrymen!

Step right up and fight the gladiator of your choice.

(laughing)

Muntz, you're an animal.

(groans)

We got to change the rules here, guys.

Come on, think about it.

Every time you get put in the mud,

some little kid gets to go to camp.

Oh, you're gonna get yours, Sanders.

Believe me, you'll get yours.

I don't think so.

Who in their right mind is gonna fight me

when they can pick you to fight, huh?

KEITH: Yo, Sanders, you're up.

I am?

Yeah, and wait till you get a look at your competition.

You remember John Sears, don't you?

Hi, Stevie.

What'd you think, Sanders, I'd just disappear?

Huh?

(chuckles)

You know, I used to own the KEG House

till you came along.

In fact, I've never been knocked off this pole.

How about you?

(yells)

(spits)

So what are you going to wear?

Same thing Bill's going to wear--

a suit and a tie.

You sure you don't want us to drive you to the airport?

No, Mom, I think it would be easier if I just drove myself.

You know, when Bill Clinton was a kid,

he shook hands with President Kennedy.

Maybe this is an omen.

A lot of people shake the president's hand, Dad,

not many of them become president.

Jim, I think you better go move your car.

You're blocking Brandon.

See you downstairs.

Yeah.

(sighs)

(giggles)

I don't know how I'm gonna break it to him--

I really have no interest in professional politics.

Forget it, Brandon.

I'm already making plans for your inaugural ball.

Well, good, then when you become a big Hollywood movie star,

just make sure all your friends contribute to my campaign.

Sure, only if you invite all of us to sleep over

at the White House.

Deal.

Listen, I've got to get going.

Roy Randolph asked me to meet him

before he leaves for out of town.

So... have a good trip.

Thanks.

Look, I just want you to know,

I think it's really great what you're doing.

Well, I appreciate that.

You know for a sister, you're not half bad.

Well, don't you ever forget it.

Have fun.

See ya.

Hey, Roy.

Oh, Brenda. Glad you could come.

Well, I couldn't let you leave town

without saying good-bye, now could I?

What are you working on?

Oh, I'm blocking my next play.

It's a production of Saint Joan.

You could audition

if you'd be willing to cut off all your hair.

I would cut off all my hair for the part...

not the audition.

Touché.

So, when are you leaving?

I'll be back in New York the day after tomorrow.

I just wanted to say good-bye to my leading lady

and to find out what she's doing this summer.

Why?

'Cause there's a terrific program

at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts

you might want to consider.

In London?

Well, unless there's another Royal Academy

I don't know about.

Isn't it a little late?

I mean, I'm sure they've already had their auditions by now.

If you're interested,

all it would take is one transatlantic phone call.

Wow. You'd do that for me?

You deserve it.

You're very talented, Brenda.

You have a real future as an actress if you want one.

(sighs)

Can I think it over?

Well, don't take too long.

Classes start in two weeks.

How you doing?

(moans softly)

My throat's dry.

Can you get me those ice chips over there?

Yeah.

How did you sleep?

I didn't.

Why?

Didn't the nurse give you anything?

It didn't work.

I kept thinking about...

about Hannah.

Do you like the name?

It's a beautiful name.

But I think we should hold off naming the baby...

Good morning.

Mm, Connie, hi.

I'm ready to roll when you are.

CONNIE: Great.

(Andrea groans) Go easy, girl.

You're going to be sore for the next few days.

Wait a second.

Where are you going? To see the baby. Where are you going? To see the baby.

Andrea... It's okay.

Dr. Gordon said it was fine, Jesse.

Hold on a second.

I need to talk to my wife.

Oh, sure. Thanks.

Jesse, what's wrong?

Andrea, I don't think it's a good idea

if we go down there right now.

Why? Has something happened?

Well, the baby had a rough night.

How rough?

Well, she stopped breathing at one point.

Oh, my God.

They put her on a respirator

and she's doing better,

but they still want to give her a blood transfusion

and put her on some antibiotics.

I have to go to her.

Andrea...

let's just wait.

I'm her mother.

I have to be with her.

Okay. All right.

I'm Helen, your daughter's nurse.

How's she doing?

Much better.

She's very alert.

Which one is she?

Right here.

Oh, Jesse.

She's beautiful.

HELEN: Go ahead, you can touch her.

Just put your hands through the portholes.

Hey, baby.

Hi, Hannah.

It's Mommy.

It's Mommy.

Hi, baby.

Hi, Hannah.

Chancellor.

Brandon, you made it. Yeah. Brandon, you made it. Yeah.

Excuse us. How was the flight?

Oh, it was great. I slept all the way in.

Good, because we've got a big day ahead of us.

Did I miss anything?

No. We're on Washington time.

Everything starts ten minutes late. Of course.

Well, there is one person

who'll be very glad to see you.

Who's that?

Clare.

Brandon, what a surprise.

(Arnold laughs)

Don't listen to a word she says.

She must have asked the desk clerk 50 times

if you'd checked in yet.

Excuse me, just a minute.

I think Senator Boxer just walked in.

What are you doing here?

Officially?

I'm looking at Eastern colleges.

But unofficially...

Clare, listen... Mm. Clare, listen... Mm.

Looks like Dean Trimble's doing all right for himself.

I don't believe it.

Brandon, you've met Lucinda Nicholson, haven't you?

Yeah. Hi.

It's so nice to see you again, Brandon.

You, too. What are you doing here?

I had a meeting with the NEA about my film.

Oh, really, you're a filmmaker?

Documentaries.

We haven't met yet, have we?

TRIMBLE: Oh, this is Chancellor Arnold's daughter, Clare.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Are you a student at CU?

Uh, not quite.

You see, Clare will be graduating

from high school this June.

LUCINDA: Oh, really?

Yeah, Brandon here took me to my senior prom.

LUCINDA: Really?

Well, I'm sure he looked quite smashing in his tux.

I didn't wear a tux.

I wore a dark suit.

Oh. How festive. Yes.

Well, I'm gonna get going

and leave you three to get acquainted.

Okay, see you later. See you later.

Bye, Dean. See you.

MAN: Hold it right there, folks.

Let me get your picture.

Oh, good.

We'll have something to remember this by.

Oh. How can I call him, Herb?

The guy's getting married this morning.

If I do, you'll be the first to know.

All right.

How inconsiderate of Kevin to run off and get married

without closing his deal first.

It would have made my life a hell of lot easier

if he and Dylan had signed on the dotted line.

Is there a problem?

No, no.

It's just been a long time

since I've put a deal together with this much riding on it.

Honey, it'll be fine; it always is.

(British accent): Morning, Guv'nor. Morning, Mum.

Got a spot of tea to warm up me ol' cockles?

(British accent): Are we rehearsing for a new play, luv?

No, more like a whole new life.

Actually, I'm thinking of going to London.

You are?

All I need is a plane ticket.

What are we talking about here?

Roy Randolph said that he could get me into a program

at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts this summer.

You're not kidding.

No, I'm not.

Look, Mom, it's a real honor.

And I don't even have to audition.

How much is this going to set me back?

Nothing. I've hardly spent any of the money that I made

working for you this year,

and I want to spend it on this.

If that's okay with you guys.

Looks, it's only for the summer.

Why not?

Good.

Roy has a lot of faith in me.

I wouldn't want to let him down.

Honey, we have a lot of faith in you, too.

We sure do.

(carousel music playing)

Let's go, baby.

Throw it. Throw it.

Here we go. What's up? What's up?

Oh! Hey, why don't you

try throwing left-handed, Silver?

It slipped! Okay.

Come on, David, get him.

Wait, wait, whose side are you on?

Hey, it's for charity, okay?

(groans)

Yeah, well, I never did know a piano player

who could throw a baseball.

That's real funny.

Why don't you try it, Donna?

Okay. Let a woman show you how.

Uh-oh, he's sending in his girlfriend.

Oh, boy, he's going down.

(bell rings) Whoa!

(crowd cheering)

(David laughing)

(groans)

DAVID: Look at that! Look at that!

Look at that muscle. Ugh, throwing arm!

And here it is, I thought you were my friend.

Hey, you get back up there,

we've got people waiting.

Oh, oh...

Listen, I've got to go back to the stage,

so, uh, you want to go get a bite to eat?

Oh. I promised Bren and Kelly I'd meet them

for a late breakfast after my shift.

All right, well, I'll see you later. Okay.

David!

Hey. I can't believe

I found you in this madhouse.

You were looking for me?

Yeah.

Well, what's up?

Is everything okay for tomorrow night?

As far as I know.

Babyface will be here for sound check by 3:00.

Great, so what's up?

Well...

How about something to eat?

(clears throat)

One more please.

Ariel.

Hi, Donna. Hey.

Um, oh, you-you forgot these.

Oh, great.

Tell Kelly and Brenda I said, hi.

I will.

Mmm.

So, all I need to do is find a flat near the school.

Well, Knightsbridge is great, but it's expensive.

Well, then I won't be living there.

Hey, guess who's going to London this summer?

You are?

No, not me, Brenda.

But now we have an excuse to visit.

Yeah, Roy Randolph got me

into a summer drama program over there.

That's great. Congratulations.

Thanks. So what are we eating?

I'm not hungry.

What's the matter?

I saw Ariel eating a hotdog with David

and I lost my appetite.

Who's Ariel?

She's in the music business.

She's trying to get David into some band.

But, you know, the more I see them together,

I think she just wants to get into his pants.

Look, you cannot be jealous

of every girl that David talks to.

Really, he loves you.

That's easy for you to say.

You guys slept with your boyfriends.

What do I have to hold him?

Look, Donna, you cannot hold on to a guy with sex.

I'm living proof of that.

So am I.

You know, Kelly, after everything

that we've been through,

it looks like we're right back where we started.

Hmm. Eat your heart out, Dylan McKay.

Hmm.

Look at those two.

That lady is my wife.

And that's my daughter now.

Yeah, so you better take care of the both of them.

Especially the little one.

She's my family.

Suzanne told me about your father.

What did she say?

She said he had a big heart.

I didn't get to see that part.

Not until the end anyway.

Listen, I don't know if it's fate or what,

but something brought us all together.

And that's just fine with me.

Yeah.

So, Dylan,

what do you think of this deal your friend Walsh

is putting together for us?

Well, I think it's a little complicated.

Limited partnerships,

cross-collateralized syndication...

Did you see them in there?

They were drooling, Dylan.

They are dying to get their hands on what we've got.

So then it's a deal.

Dylan, buddy, you're missing the point.

I don't follow.

Until I sat in that room yesterday,

even I didn't know how big this thing could be.

So what you're saying is,

you want to cut them out?

Let's just not rush into anything, okay?

This is the most shrimp I've ever seen in my life.

And they're huge.

I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

I saw you two in a huddle over here.

Are you talking business on my wedding day?

Okay, you popped me.

I'm sorry.

Not... not another word.

Could I have one of those shrimp, please?

(carousel music playing)

Celeste!

Steve.

Hey, you look great. Thanks.

You know, you can't go on this Ferris wheel all by yourself.

It's un-American.

I'm not.

You're here with someone? Yeah.

Oh, cool, a guy?

Yes, actually he goes to school here.

Really? How long you been going out?

Only a couple of weeks.

But I'm really happy.

He's really nice.

And he's really tall.

And he's really good-looking.

And he's really hot.

Really?

Hi, Stevie.

Bye, Stevie.

Bye.

Wow, great lunch, huh?

I always eat too much at these things.

Listen, guys, I want to go rest up for a minute.

The time change is starting to get to me.

I'll catch you later, okay?

Don't be too long. We're up in a half hour.

(water begins running)

Clare, what are you doing?

Having a shower.

Hmm. How did you get in here?

I have my ways.

Of course you do.

Shower's over.

Hey! I haven't washed my hair yet.

Okay, fine.

Finish up and get dressed.

Thanks, Brandon.

Your shower's much better than mine.

Clare, why aren't you dressed?

'Cause, I don't have to give a speech in 15 minutes.

Besides, I'm always more comfortable au naturel.

Hmm.

How did you know I was even gonna be up here, anyway?

I took a shot.

I figured you had to come up eventually.

Hmm, and what if I'd

come in with your father?

Oh... I hadn't thought of that.

Mm-hmm. Listen, Clare...

Brandon, would you just relax?

I mean, you should be enjoying yourself.

Here you are in Washington, DC,

in a great hotel,

and you're about to deliver a speech that

my father says is going to blow away the room.

And then when you're finished with that,

you get to come back up here

and be with me.

Is that so terrible?

All right.

I give up.

Good.

Go.

You're going to be late.

Do me a favor.

Don't go anywhere.

(elevator bell dings)

You know what I'm saying?

John Sears is a reptile.

You said so yourself.

No, I said he was a cockroach.

And Celeste is a big girl, and it is her life.

Do you know how many times that guy

dumped me in the mud yesterday?

Steve, would you get over it?

We're here to see Andrea and Jesse and the baby.

I don't know if I can handle that.

I once saw this story on preemies.

It grossed me out.

Steve!

I just don't want to say the wrong thing.

What do you say to them?

"Oh, the kid's so cute.

The kid looks like Yoda." What do you say?

You don't say anything.

You just be a friend.

JESSE: It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.

ANDREA: You keep saying it's okay.

It's not okay, all right?!

Nothing is okay!

Hi.

Hi, Kelly.

And Steve.

If it's a bad time, we could come back.

No, no, no.

Please, come in.

I don't know when it would be a good time.

How you doing, big guy?

I could be better. Yeah. I could be better. Yeah.

Hey, Andrea.

How's the baby doing?

ANDREA: We don't know.

She's fighting. We're fighting.

I spend a lot of time

yelling at doctors like they really need that.

You just want to make sure

they're doing everything they can.

I wish there was something I could do.

Actually, there is.

Will you get my husband out of here?

Andrea...

Please, Jesse, just take a walk, okay?

Get some fresh air. Are you sure? Get some fresh air. Are you sure?

I would if I could.

Okay.

I love you.

Me, you.

Oh, man, he's trying to be so strong, Kelly,

and I'm just falling apart.

What can I do?

Wash your hair, give you a foot massage?

Come with me to see my baby.

I'd be honored.

Great.

Get me my robe.

Thank you.

(carousel music playing)

Huge and big and large...

This is so cool.

Yep, it's pretty cool.

So what do you want to do first?

Bearded lady, dog-faced boy?

Everything.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

She's a kid, she's my sister.

Hold tight there.

There you-- oh!

CINDY: Dylan!

Hey!

It's all right, you just got to concentrate, it's balance.

Hey, how was the wedding?

Oh, it was very nice.

JIM: Looks like Erica's having a great time.

Are you kidding?

She's having the time of her life,

look at her.

Hey, Dylan, can I try again?

Yeah, you can go again.

I think I got a ticket or two or ten.

Come on, you can go all day.

Will you excuse us for a second, please?

Be right back, Spiderwoman.

Let me have some!

I hate to bring up business with a mouth full of popcorn,

but did Kevin say anything about the meeting?

No. But he's probably got other things on his mind

right now, you know? (sighs)

I hate to seem pushy, but... I'm having

a lot of pressure to close the deal.

Jim, you're talking to the wrong guy here.

I mean, Kevin's holding all the cards.

So... give me a hint.

What's he waiting for?

I don't know, maybe for his honeymoon to be over?

What do you think?

BRENDA: Mom, would you, like,

take Dad to the Tunnel of Love

or something? Mellow him out.

I'm mellow, I'm mellow.

(rings bell)

Oh! Hey!

Hey!

(happy shriek)

Oh, I can't believe how tiny she is.

Look at her perfect little fingers.

Isn't she adorable?

Hi, sweetie...

Hey.

Hi, I'm Helen.

Hi.

Andrea how do you feel?

A little better.

Well, you're not the only one.

Your baby's breathing is stabilized

and she hasn't lost any weight in the last eight hours.

Finally.

(laughs)

Want to help me give her a bath?

Really?

Wait right here.

I'll get some warm water.

You know, you haven't even told me what her name is.

We were thinking of calling her Hannah.

It means "hope."

Well, you better get your crayons out, Mom.

Why?

Look at all these other incubators.

They're all decorated.

What's the matter?

It's Jesse.

He won't admit it, but I...

I know he's terrified.

He couldn't even bring himself

to put her name on the birth certificate.

Steve, don't hate me for saying this, but...

man, I feel like I'm living in the middle

of someone else's nightmare right now.

I meet a girl, we go out a couple times,

I'm crazy about her and then-- boom.

One second later we're married

and we have a two-pound, six-ounce preemie upstairs.

I wanted to take Andrea around the world.

I wanted to get to know her, for God's sake.

Well, I know her.

She's a great girl,

Funny, smart.

A great kisser.

You kissed my wife?

Once.

A long, long time ago.

We were cramming for our SATs.

Of course, she got a 1,500.

Of course.

So who does the baby look like?

I don't know.

I guess she looks like me.

She's definitely a Vasquez.

You're lucky.

I don't know anybody that looks like me.

I'm adopted.

Well...

My daughter definitely looks like me.

Wow.

Wow. My daughter.

I think that's the first time I've said it out loud.

Pretty heavy. Yeah.

What do you say we get outta here

and get some real food, huh? Uh... and get some real food, huh? Uh...

No. I-I should get back upstairs.

You sure?

Mmm.

All right, I'll take care of this, Papa.

Thanks, Steve, you're a good man.

See ya, pal.

She sure does look a lot like you.

Yeah, she's definitely a Zuckerman.

How long do you think she's gonna have to stay in here?

Oh, I don't know. It's all a blur.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

Let's talk about something in the real world.

How was Mardi Gras? How's Dylan?

Mmm... Mardi Gras is hot.

Dylan's not.

What do you mean?

We broke up.

You what?

I just got tired of fighting with him.

And I was always mad.

I don't think it was meant to last.

Are you okay?

The weird thing is, I'm better than okay.

Well, what's his name?

Remember when I went on that retreat with Brandon?

Brandon?

Mm-hmm.

I got him to square dance.

Well, that's further than I ever got.

What else did you two do?

Not that much.

I mean, we kissed.

There was a full moon.

It was nice.

Nice?

It was better than nice.

Mm-hmm.

Am I nuts?

To be crazy about Brandon Walsh is not to be nuts.

Especially if he's crazy about you.

(elevator bell dings)

That part I'm not so sure about.

(chuckles)

Would you feel deserted

if I skipped town for a couple of days?

Oh, planning a little visit to our nation's capital?

(laughs)

(carousel music playing)

DAVID: Hey, Donna.

Thanks a lot, David.

What do you mean?

Where were you all day?

I've been around. Where?

Well, let's see. I was at the petting zoo with Gary,

and then I got something to eat

and then I went on that ride that makes you feel

like you want to throw up. You told me to meet you

at the announcer's booth after lunch. Well, I did. at the announcer's booth after lunch. Well, I did.

We must've just missed each other.

I even went back again to see

if I could try and find you.

Yeah, well, you obviously didn't try very hard.

Look, I'm sorry.

Do you want to go on the Zipper?

I can't now, I'm due back

at the dunk tank in ten minutes.

Well, then I can just hang out with you.

Well, what happened to Ariel?

She left hours ago.

Come on, it's a carnival.

I'll buy you a root beer.

Fine.

Brandon! You were terrific.

Oh, thanks, man. Brandon, good speech.

Thanks, guys. I was a little nervous at the beginning,

but I think they liked what we were saying.

No doubt about it.

Congratulations. Thanks, man.

Thanks, Chancellor.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

By the way,

have you seen my errant daughter lately?

Uh...

Yeah. Yeah, actually,

I, uh, I-I saw her earlier.

Where?

J... In the hotel.

She's been so busy running around from college to college,

I haven't talked to her all day.

If you see her again, would you please make sure

she knows about our dinner plans?

Yeah. Sure. Absolutely.

I mean... if I see her.

Which... I probably won't. Probably.

Lucinda!

Hi. Hello.

LUCINDA: Good presentation, Brandon.

Thanks.

Are you, uh, staying at the hotel?

Uh... no.

A friend is.

You know they did

a famous study about how people behave in elevators.

They always stare at the numbers to avoid eye contact.

Silly me.

I always look at the numbers to see what floor I'm on.

(chuckling)

(elevator bell dings)

Well, our floor's up, Willis.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah...

See you later, gentlemen.

Good night, gentlemen.

So, what floor is your friend staying on?

Nine.

Nine?

Funny, that's my floor.

(chuckles)

Well, what a coincidence.

You know, Brandon,

we never did it in an elevator.

We did it on a kitchen table.

In the film editing room.

In the shower-- a number of times-- but...

never in an elevator.

Or your hotel room.

(elevator bell dings, door open)

As I recall, we didn't end up on the best of terms, now, did we?

Brandon, there's no reason why we can't be friends.

And it could be an awfully long time

before our paths cross again.

Well, what did you have in mind, Lucinda?

Well, we could start off with room service

and, uh, take it from there.

Well, that's very tempting, but even if I wanted to, I can't.

And why not?

Well, for one thing,

I'm having dinner with the Chancellor in an hour...

So that gives us an hour.

Look, Lucinda, I could make up a lot of excuses here,

but the truth is, there's someone waiting for me.

There is not.

Oh, my God. You're not kidding.

That's right, I'm not kidding.

Hi, Clare.

I think you've met Lucinda.

Hi.

You know, you two really

ought to get to know each other better.

You have a lot in common.

Listen, it's obvious you two have plans.

I'm really sorry to intrude.

No, it's okay.

Uh, we were gonna have

dinner with my father later.

Do you want to join us, or...?

Yeah.

I'd love to.

Can't leave Washington without visiting the Custis Lee mansion.

BRANDON: It's too bad the Chancellor

keeps us locked up in this hotel.

Tomorrow's open for sightseeing.

HARRIMAN: You must see the Augustus Tack exhibit

at the Phillips.

Who was Augustus Tack?

He's one of the greatest American impressionists,

although he's practically unknown

because his paintings are being held

at the estate of his patron, Duncan Phillips,

and they rarely leave Washington.

What's the matter, Brandon?

Don't you like Impressionism?

Well, this meal's leaving a huge impression on me.

ARNOLD: Lewis, what are you having?

TRIMBLE: Oh, I don't know, I think I'll, uh...

It'll either be the Chicken Dijonnaise

or the butterfly shrimp.

(chuckles)

Brandon?

The shrimp sounds fabulous, sir.

Fantastic.

LUCINDA: Actually, I was thinking of going lighter.

Um, a mixed salad and the oysters on the half shell.

Hmm... not me.

I think I'm gonna go for some red meat.

(clearing throat)

So, uh, exactly where is the Curtis Lee mansion, sir?

Custis Lee.

Custis. Right.
