[clock chiming]

- Clare.
- Hey. Hi.

- Did you finish your exams?
- Yeah, I just did. Did you?

Oh, one more, then all
I have to do is go home

and watch Kelly and Brandon
kissy-face all over the house.

Well, I don't think
she'll be too into that.

Her dad's here.

- The famous bill Taylor's here?
- You know him?

Well, I heard about him
from Colin.

Apparently, Kelly's coke problem

started after he disappointed
her about moving here.

- Yeah, I wondered about that.
- Maybe things have changed.

She's supposed to have
dinner with him tonight.

Oh. Good for her.

Do you mean that?

What do you think,
I hope he cancels on her?

Do you?

[knock on door]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Sorry I'm late.
Traffic was terrible.

Oh, that's okay.
Saved us a trip.

Oh, no. No, don't tell me.
She canceled?

I thought Wednesday
was doctor golf day.

No, she did not cancel.
We just don't have to go.

- Why not?
- I'm not pregnant.

- Are you sure?
- I got my period.

Why it took so long,
I have no idea,

- but better late than never.
- Yeah.

Well, you must be, uh...
You must be relieved.

I am.

- You're not.
- No! No, I am.

I am. It's just...

Well, I guess part of me is sad.

This is a good thing, Brandon.

Oh, I know it's a good thing.
It's a good thing...

But do you have to be
so happy about it?

That's not all. My dad called.
He's in town overnight and...

We're gonna have dinner.

I thought maybe it'd be a good
chance for us to start over.

Well, that is good news.
It's a good day.

Yep, one of my best.

And nothing is going to ruin it.

[theme music playing]

[soft music playing]

So, Steve, what are you
gonna do after college?

What do you think, Steve,
uh, law school?

- No. Not.
- Medical school?

- Business school?
- Bzzt.

- Drive-thru employee? Fry guy!
- I could be the fry guy.

Even Silver has got
a business to run.

I'm the one who's roasting

your award-winning hide
this afternoon.

The more you say
to bring me down,

can and will be used
against you this afternoon.

Don't listen to him.

The Outstanding
Student Award is awesome.

Thanks. If I'd known
a roast was involved,

I would have gladly
turned it down.

And deny me the opportunity

to embarrass you within an inch
of your life?

- Some friend you are.
- Go ahead, take your best shot.

I'd love to give you a preview,

but I have a meeting
regarding my future.

- Mm-hmm. With a head hunter?
- No, my dad.

- He said it's very important.
- Really? What's it about?

Well, I think I can
sum it up in two words.

Junior partner.

♪ Shahhh ♪

Two more words.

- Unemployment line.
- Copy that.

Hey, is my dad here?

He just called to say
he's running late

at a meeting off-campus.

He wanted me to ask you
to wait, if that's okay.

Yeah. I just wanted
to tell him I finished exams.

- Oh, isn't it exciting?
- Mm-hmm.

I wish I was going to Paris.

Oh, I thought you meant
about graduation.

Oh, that, too.

But I was talking about
your dad leaving C.U.

- Pardon?
- Ahh, teaching at the Sorbonne.

Sounds so romantic.

[soft music playing]

"With annual sales
of 1.2 million

and an inventory of 300,000..."

Every three months.

"...would a retailer
re-buy its inventory?"

You know, Donna, there is
such a thing as over-preparing.

Not for a final
in Professor Langely's class.

Well...

Here you go.

- In case you get hungry.
- Oh, thanks.

Mmm. You're welcome.

So, you know what?

I was thinking I...

I think I made a good choice
buying the After Dark.

Sure you did.

Well, I mean, everyone's
talking about how scary it is

after college.
You know, the uncertainty.

But the club's going good,
we're going good.

I don't know. Everything
seems to be working right.

Uh-huh.

Well, except for the fact
that, uh...

My lease is up on my place.

Can I try to ask you something?

[exhales]

How would you feel about getting
an apartment with me?

- What?
- Or maybe I could, uh,

just stay at the beach
apartment for the summer.

No, David, I can't deal
with this right now.

I can't believe
you would drop this on me

an hour before a major exam.

Fine. Bad timing.

- Sorry I asked.
- David, uh, I'm sorry.

[Donna sighs]

[sighs]

Hi.

Uh, hi.
Please, come in. Have a seat.

- Thanks.
- I should apologize.

Bill only recently decided
to open up an L.A. branch.

This is our temporary office.

Well, I was hoping Mr. Taylor
was going to be here.

Kelly's roommate said
that he was in town.

He is?

Uh, of course he is.
He's on Rodeo right now,

supervising the set up
of our permanent space.

But if you would like,

I will arrange for us
to have dinner tonight.

That'd be great.

Consider it done.

Meantime...

How about we get down
to business?

Yeah.

These authorize your investment

in international
capital associates.

Your cash goes
into a money market first.

Then, once Bill Taylor
gives me the say-so,

we start pumping your money
where it'll get the best return.

Sounds wonderful.

But I'm gonna have to get
the money to you later.

You didn't bring a check?

No. The bank won't clear
the proceeds of the sale

till later this afternoon.

- Is that a problem?
- No. No, it's just that, uh,

Mr. Taylor doesn't like
conducting business dinners.

He would much rather
we settle everything

- ahead of time.
- As soon as the money clears,

I can come back here
and give you the check.

Tell you what, I'm going to be
between meetings

in Beverly Hills around 4:00.

- Can you meet me at Joe's?
- Sure can.

- Dad!
- Hey, Steve.

- How are you, son?
- All right.

It's good to see you. Hey, Nat.

- Hey, Rush, how are you?
- Come on, sit down.

- So...
- Uh-huh?

- How's business?
- Business is just great.

I need you to do
something for me, though.

- I'm your man.
- It's a little bit sensitive,

but I figure
since you're going out

with the chancellor's daughter,
you may have an inside track.

- What are you talking about?
- The Condor Crest.

The alumni award? The big one.

I'm trying to find out
if I'm in the running.

Are you serious? Is that what
this big meeting was about?

Well, it is a very
prestigious honor, son.

If you don't want Clare to ask
her father if I won, it's okay.

No, I'll ask her.
I'd be happy to ask her.

It's just I had
this ridiculous idea

that we came here
to talk about me.

You did? Well...

As luck would have it,
I didn't come here empty handed.

Hmm.

Consider this
another graduation present.

I am very, very proud of you.

I'm very proud of me, too.

Books?

Biographies of Bill Gates
and Lee Iacocca.

- Thick books.
- It's an exciting time for you.

Thick books with no pictures.

Son, you're going out into
the world without a safety net.

And I was hoping that those
stories of other self-made men

will inspire my son
to great things.

Did you say no safety net?

Not a stitch.

From now on, you're on your own.

[exhales]

The test is both
multiple choice and essay.

You will have 90 minutes.

If you haven't learned
the material by now,

you're not going to learn it.

I should remind you
that this test

will count for 75%
of your final grade.

Good luck, everyone.
You may now begin.

[Professor Langley]
This test will count

for 75% of your final grade.

This test will count for 75%

of your final grade.
This test will count for 75%...

Miss Martin, I said
you should begin.

This test will count
for 75% of your final grade.

This test will count for 75%

of your final grade.

[distorted voice] Miss Martin,
in case you weren't listening,

your semester grade
depends almost entirely

on how well you do on this test.

I'm sorry.

[dramatic music playing]

[sobbing]

[sighs]

I had no idea going on the pill
required all these tests.

Usually it doesn't,
but when I first examined you,

I noticed some irregularities.

Oh, that's an unpleasant word.

I ran a pregnancy test.

It was positive.

But that's impossible.

I told you, I got my period.

Actually, you didn't.

You miscarried.

What?

Oh, my God.

I can't believe it. You...

Are you saying
that this happened this morning?

Kelly, the ultrasound
showed abnormalities

on your ovaries
and fallopian tubes.

I'm only 22. 22-year-olds
aren't supposed to miscarry.

Have you had back aches,
painful periods recently?

Kelly, this is important.

Um...

Yes.

I--I guess so.

I'd like to run more tests
right away.

Why?

You may have
a fertility problem.

I don't understand this.

Uh, I got pregnant, didn't I?

One second you're telling me
I miscarried,

the next second
you're telling me I'm infertile.

Certain conditions may make
getting pregnant difficult,

and if you do get pregnant,

make carrying the child
to term less likely.

Are you telling me I may never
be able to have children?

Kelly, I know this is confusing
and hard to hear.

It's also preliminary,

which is why I'd like to run
some tests.

Can you stay?

Kelly?

Yeah. Uh, yeah, sure.

Whatever.

[surf guitar music playing]

- Hi!
- Hey.

- Want some monster punch?
- No, thanks.

Come on, Clare,
I made it myself.

After all, as of this morning,
I'm a self-made man.

I thought with exams over
you'd be a happy drunk.

Well, I would've,
but my dad cut me off.

- He did?
- I'm so proud of you, son,

I've decided to ruin your life.

My dad dropped a pretty big
bombshell on me, too.

- Yeah, mine's thermonuclear.
- Mine, too.

He's moving to Paris.

- Paris?
- Oui.

What is with our dads?

Don't they know
that we're fully capable

of messing up our own lives
without their help?

He asked me to go with him.

- What did you tell him?
- Nothing.

I mean, he just mentioned it.

I'm nervous about him
being there alone, though.

- What about me being alone here?
- That's different.

- You always choose him over me.
- I haven't chosen anything.

Not yet... But you will.

And when you do,

I'm the one who's gonna get
the bon voyage.

Hey, you're here early.

- Was the test that easy?
- Not exactly.

Look, if what we talked about
in the library freaked you out.

I walked out.

What--what does that mean?

It means I walked out
without answering a question.

It means I failed the test.

But how? I mean,
you knew the material.

I can't explain it. I...

[exhales] I just--
I completely froze.

Oh, Donna.

I don't know what happened.
I mean, maybe...

I guess I should have
studied a little bit harder.

That's ridiculous.
You could've aced that test.

I know.

What's wrong with me?

I don't know.

Unless maybe
you didn't want to pass.

- What are you talking about?
- I don't know. I just...

I get this funny feeling like
maybe... you did it on purpose.

David, you know, I'm not gonna
graduate now.

Yeah, it's an easy way

to not move on
with your life or with me.

Oh, this is great.
Just kick me while I'm down.

Don, I'm sorry.

But why else would you walk out?

Uh, it just-- it seems
like an excuse

to not live with me.

So, uh, we still on for dinner?

Yes, you and I are.

Mr. Taylor won't be able
to make it.

- Why not?
- He already had plans.

But he sends his apologies.

To tell the truth, I can't say
I'm disappointed.

Wait. I'm not putting my money

in Bill Taylor's investments
without meeting Bill Taylor.

Valerie, it's the man
behind the man

that's going to be taking care
of your money.

How much confidence
can I have in you

if you can't even set up
a dinner?

I can get you a meeting.

I'm surprised at how badly
you want one.

Hasn't Kelly told you
how much time her father

spends away from the office?

She hasn't mentioned it.

- Red wine?
- Yeah.

Two red wines.

Off the record--
the guy's got the life.

Spends a lot of time
playing golf and hires people

who make him
look like a financial genius.

Well, that sounds pretty genius.

Yeah, if you're the one
on the back 9.

Kelly really hasn't said
anything about me?

- No, she hasn't.
- Huh.

To tell you the truth, uh...

Kelly and I
aren't really friends.

Then...

Why would you want
to invest with her dad?

He's good, but so are a lot
of other people.

- Well, uh, off the record?
- Shoot.

To drive Kelly nuts.
Not about the investing,

but having some sort
of relationship with her dad.

You want to be friends
with Bill Taylor?

Yeah.

And I thought I was ambitious.

Look, I don't know
if this helps, but, uh...

I never told Mr. Taylor
that you and Kelly were friends.

I wanted him
to take you seriously.

Well, I appreciate that.

Well, you know, you did
something for me, so...

I'm gonna do something for you.

Here's the $100,000.

But I still want that meeting.

Fastest way to get in
to see Bill?

Call him yourself.

Oh, yeah, this is one hell
of a roast, huh? Thank you.

And now for our next roastee,
Brandon Walsh.

[cheering and applause]

In addition to being

an Outstanding Student Award
winner,

he's a dryer fellow,

former Condor columnist,

and past president
of the student government.

Disgustingly perfect.

- Am I right?
- [all] Yeah!

And how do we know?

Because the rest of us
are not perfect.

If we were,

well, then Brandon
would be just average.

Now, the less perfect we are,

the better he looks.

Put this guy
next to a total failure,

and he's a star.

You're nothing
without me, Brandon.

I got the grades you don't want,

girls you've already had,

and the future
you'll never have.

Like everything else, you picked
the perfect best friend.

A total shmoe.

I made you
what you are, Brandon,

and I expect payback.

So, when you're elected senator,
raise the minimum wage.

I'm sure I'm gonna need it.

So, you guys...

If the big man on campus
buddies up to you,

you're a geek.

If the guy most likely
to succeed is your best friend,

all I can say is welcome
to my personal hell.

It's all yours, Brandon.

[cheering]

Thank you, Steve,

for those...

incredibly depressing remarks.

[laughter]

You know, I had
a whole speech prepared.

You know the type.
What college has meant.

What I see for our futures.

The basics.

But listening
to my friend over here,

I realize there's something
much more important

that I need to do.

And that is...

nip the save Steve Sanders
movement right in the bud.

[cheering]

Yeah!

You see, my good friend
Steve's idea of minimum wage

is any income he makes
above and beyond his trust fund.

[laughter]

And his definition of a have-not

is someone who's father
buys them a new Corvette

only every other year.

[laughter]

You see, for Steve,

hard work is putting down
the toilet seat,

and success is defined
by how much work

he can actually
get out of doing.

[laughter]

Which, of course, makes
Steve Sanders my best friend,

and also the most
successful man I know.

[laughter]

[Brandon] Thank you very much.

[cheering and applause]

[guy] Great roast, you guys.

The debate will be back
in ten minutes.

Steve, I'm sorry
if I was a little rough on you.

- Thought we were kidding around.
- Yeah, at my expense.

Hey, you set the table.

We're here to roast you, not me.

Could you feel a little more
sorry for yourself?

Oh, yeah. Watch me.

Come on, Steve,
what are you doing?

- I got some pain to kill, okay?
- We all got problems.

Cutting yourself shaving
doesn't count, Brandon.

You know what, Steve,
the roast is over.

I'll see you later.

Hey! I'm not done with you.

Aah!

[laughter]

[Steve coughing]

Hey, Steve, that wasn't bad.

It wasn't quite
in the tuck position,

but I think you'll get
sevens across the board.

Weren't you just leaving,
Brandon?

That's right, I was.

What are you looking at?

Nothing, I just--
Here, I wanted to help you.

I don't need any help, Clare.

I'm fine. I'm having fun here.

- Hey, babe.
- Hi.

I didn't think you were gonna
make it. Where you been?

I was at the doctor's.
Sorry if I missed the roast.

What were you doing
at the doctor?

You knew I was scheduled
for the pregnancy test.

Yeah. I also knew
you didn't need it.

I went because I wanted
to go on the pill.

The last couple of days
have been awful.

I didn't want us sweating
it out like that again,

even if it meant
being doubly protected.

That's cool.
Thanks for doing that.

When I was there,
the doctor did some tests.

Yeah?

I was pregnant after all.

What I thought
was my period, wasn't.

I was miscarrying.

Come on, let me get you out
of here and get you home, huh?

No, no. That's okay.

I wanted you to know, but...

I really need to just be alone
for awhile.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, whatever you need.

Thanks.

You know, uh...

I don't want you to take this
the wrong way,

but you did say that right now

wasn't a good time for us
to have a child, remember?

And you know,

this whole thing has...

made me look forward
to the family

we will have together someday.

Did I mention it takes six
to make a hockey team?

We're not gonna have
a family, Brandon.

Well, I, uh, assuming we're
still together and everything.

That's not what I mean.

Well, what do you mean?

We're not gonna have a family
because I can't give you one.

The doctor told me
I probably can't have children.

[Surf guitar music playing]

Hey.

You wanna dance?

No.

You wanna tell me
what you're thinking?

Sure you have the time?

Wouldn't want you
to miss your flight to Paris.

I never said I was going.

What are you being such a jerk?

Thanks for all
the support, Clare.

We're all under pressure here.

Wanting to move on, but not
wanting to leave, you know?

Sometimes I wish we could
just stay like this forever.

And the other times?

I'm sorry if I underestimated
your reaction

to the possibility
of my going away, but...

The reality is

we're all graduating next week.

Things are gonna change.

I'm sorry to bother you.

What's this about?
I have finals to grade.

I want another chance.

- Of course you do.
- I know the material.

Your chance to prove that to me
was this morning.

Look, if I don't pass,
I don't graduate.

You should have thought
about that before walking out.

- If you'll excuse me...
- No, please, Professor Langley.

You have to give me
another chance.

Why? Because you have
the gall to ask for one?

Because I can pass the test.

Then why didn't you?

[sighs]

[telephone rings]

- Hello?
- Oh, hello.

- Uh, I'm calling Valerie Malone.
- Uh, this is Valerie.

Miss Malone, I'm Bill Taylor,
and I have no idea

what I've done to deserve
such lovely flowers,

but whatever it is,
you're very welcome.

It's not what you've done, but
what I hope you're going to do.

- I'm an investor.
- Are you?

Yeah. Listen, I--I don't mean
to be forward,

but I'd like to meet the man I
entrusted my life savings with.

Hmm. Uh...

Your note mentions
dinner tonight.

Unfortunately,
I already have plans,

but let me assure you, your
money will be well cared for.

- That's what Kelly tells me.
- You know Kelly?

Know her?
We're really good friends.

She's the one
who told me to invest with you.

I'm surprised
she hasn't mentioned it.

Maybe she will tonight.

She's the one
I'm having dinner with.

Oh, gosh, I'm really sorry. I...

I feel like a complete idiot
asking you to cancel on Kelly.

Uh... I'll tell you what, um...

I'm meeting Kelly
here at my hotel at 8:00.

How about you and I
meet at 7:30,

get work out of the way
and when Kelly arrives,

we can all have a drink
together before dinner.

Well, I'd love to,
but I don't want to impose.

Nonsense. Helping out a friend
of Kelly's is no imposition.

- I'll see you tonight.
- I look forward to it.

[soft music playing]

[soft music playing]

Hi. I know you wanted
to be alone,

but I tried calling.

I turned off the ringer.

You going somewhere?

Dinner with Dad.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot.

Kel, what's going on?

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

I think I have a right to know.

I have something called
endometriosis.

It makes getting pregnant
difficult.

Difficult, but not impossible.

It obstructs the fallopian tubes

making it harder for them
to pick up eggs.

No eggs, no babies.

- But you were pregnant.
- Yeah.

The endometriosis is probably
what caused me to miscarry.

And how often is that?

Forty percent of the time.

So that means
60% of the time they don't.

- I'll take those odds.
- You're not listening to me.

I miscarried. I lost a child.

You have no idea
what that feels like.

So don't talk to me
about odds, okay?

Yesterday something
was alive inside of me,

and today it's dead.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Kel...

This doesn't change anything.

I wish I could believe that.

You can.

It's the truth.

Brandon, you spent
all week talking to me...

about how much
you love children.

How can you be happy

in a relationship with someone
who can't give you any?

Because I love you.

[soft music playing]

[Brandon sighs]

[knock on door]

If you're expecting an apology--

I'm not.

I asked Langley
if I could retake the test.

Well, that took guts.

Well, I...told her
what you told me.

That I walked out because
I was scared of moving on.

Is that the truth?

I'm terrified.

[sighs] Well...

Don't be afraid of me.

I mean, of everything else...

Sure.

It's understandable, but...

I mean, our--our relationship
is the only thing

about finishing school
that doesn't scare me.

And that's the thing
that scares me the most.

But I don't know what I would do
without you.

Look, Donna, you're not gonna
have to worry about that.

So, uh, what did
Professor Langley say?

That I'm on for 9 a.m.
Tomorrow morning.

Great. That gives us
about 12 hours.

Go grab your books.
I'll put on some coffee.

David, you don't have
to do this.

I know.

[soft music playing]

Oh, thank you.

Going to college full-time

and running a successful
business, that's impressive.

Well, I think I have
a real head for business.

Once the proceeds of the sale
of the After Dark

are invested with you,

I'll be looking
for other opportunities.

Ahh. Well, if you hit
on something, let me know.

I'm always, uh, looking to help
start-up ventures.

Oh, that's very generous of you,

but I've already imposed enough.

No, I don't--Valerie,
I told you,

for a friend of Kelly's
there's no such thing.

I'm sorry. I just can't believe

I'm sitting
across from Bill Taylor.

[laughing] Well, I had no idea

I had a reputation
that preceded me.

Well, you do.

Derek speaks very highly of you.

Derek Driscoll?

If half of what he says is true,

I know my life savings
is in the right hands.

How do you know Derek?

[maitre] Right over there, Miss.

Oh, Kelly, honey.
Hi, sweetheart.

Mmm! How's my girl, huh?

Valerie, what the hell
are you doing here?

Um, it's nice to see you, too.

I'm just having dinner
with my financial advisor.

I thought we were having dinner.

We are, honey.

Uh, Valerie called

about some, uh,
investment advice earlier,

and I told her to meet me here.

- You invited her?
- I thought it would be fun.

I never get a chance to spend
any time with your friends.

My friends?

Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea.

No. I don't think so.

Uh, look, uh, honey,

I should have called you
and told you about this.

And if I caught you
by surprise, I'm sorry.

Why don't you sit down

and we'll all have dinner
together, hmm?

Sounds good. Kel?

Valerie, excuse me.
We'll talk tomorrow.

- [knocks]
- [Rush] Hey, Steve, you up?

No.

Huh? [chuckles]

- What you doing here?
- Brandon let me in.

Listen, if you haven't
talked to Clare about that, uh,

well, my alumni award,
you don't have to.

Oh, great. That's a relief.

Don't you want to know why?

No.

Well, I'm gonna tell you.

I got it.

[chuckles]
They're giving it to me.

That's great, Dad.
I'm really happy for you.

Oh, yeah. I can see that.

I just don't understand
how you can be so excited

about some stupid award
after what you did to me.

- What I did to you?
- You cut me off.

You gave me a few books
and told me to have a nice life.

You took away my security.

Ooh. Oh, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Excuse me, young man,

I put you through college.

That is your security.

Oh. Well, thanks for nothing.

Steve.

Son...

I am what I am because of C.U.

- [scoffs]
- That's why I stay so involved.

That's why that-- that, uh,

stupid award
means so much to me.

It's also why I know
you're going to be just fine.

Oh, that's comforting.

It should be.

Look, you got a problem,
give me a call later.

I got to get back to the office.

We're breaking in
a new junior partner.

Come on. Take care.

[soft music playing]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Dodgers won.

Saw that.

Three runs on two hits.

They did the little things.

You know, advanced the runner,
hit and run.

Stuff that doesn't
show up in the box score.

Kind of like you
freaking out yesterday.

You know, I would explain
that to you,

but you wouldn't understand.

How could you let rush in?

Was he on the list of
undesirables? I didn't realize.

How could you do that to me?

Brandon, you have everything.

You've got grades,
girls, a future.

Must be tough being
a Beverly Hills bonus baby.

Must make being a guy
from Minnesota

with little margin of error
look pretty easy, huh?

- You do make it look easy.
- Look a little closer, Steve.

If I fail,
I've got no safety net.

Step out on that ledge
with me one time

and then talk to me
about easy, okay?

So how do you do it
without a safety net?

I do have a safety net, Steve.

My friends.

And, sure, they're frustrating

and annoying sometimes, but...

I don't know what I'd do
without them.

What about after we graduate?

We're graduating from school,
bro, not from each other.

[scoffs]

So that means I'm stuck
with your ugly face, huh?

The feeling's entirely mutual.

With minimal knowledge,
consumers rely primarily on?

The name brand, price,

quality,

image of the store.

Tell me the three methods

of developing
designer-label merchandise.

- Three methods?
- That's what I said.

Well, um...

Companies can make
exclusive outlet deals.

And... they can pay a premium
for the product.

Um...

- I'm not sure of the other.
- You have ten seconds.

- I don't know a third method.
- Why not?

I don't understand this.

I studied so hard,
and I only know two.

Relax, Miss Martin.
There are only two.

[relieved sigh] Then why
did you ask me for three?

I wanted to see how you'd handle
uncertainty, misinformation.

It's a part of life. It's also
a part of this business.

Why are you so mean to me?

Now is not the time.
Next question.

No. I don't like
being treated this way.

Why are you out to get me?

I'm tough on all my students.

That's the only way any of you
are gonna survive in this field.

I've been particularly tough
on you

because you've got what it takes

to actually
make a career of fashion.

- I do?
- Yes, you do.

You're very, very talented.
I think you're a natural.

And if you're afraid of the next
step, you shouldn't be.

Because if anyone's ready
for it... you are.

All you lack is confidence.

Now, can we get on
with the next question?

Fire away.

[knock on door]

Got a minute?

Are you going to Paris, Clare?

It's tempting.

And it is Paris.

Are you going?

No. I'm not.

Then I've got a minute.

You know, I might have gone
if you had reacted differently.

Well...

I'll have to act like a maniac
more often.

It showed me that you cared,

and... I was touched.

So... no Paris.

What are you going to do?

You're asking me
about the future?

That's a switch.

Well, I figure four years
of living for the moment,

I figure it's time
I ought to plan ahead.

Although I'm not exactly sure
how to do that.

Would it help
if we did it together?

Yeah. It would.

Congratulations, Miss Martin.
You did great.

Thanks to you.

No. You did the work.

You deserve the credit.
I simply believed in you.

Now it's time you start
to believe in yourself.

Thanks.

I'll never forget you.

They all say that. You will.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's going on?

Nothing. Just... trying
to forget about yesterday.

Yeah. I know
we didn't discuss it, but, uh,

I thought you'd come over
last night after dinner.

Not after what happened.

What did your father do
this time?

It wasn't just my dad this time.

When I got to the restaurant,

Valerie was there
having dinner with him.

Valerie and your father?
How did that happen?

I don't know.

And I don't really care.

I just can't decide
who I hate more.

Oh, babe.

I'm sorry.

You know, Brandon, you've always
stuck with me

through all the tough times.

Well, that's not going
to change.

I know.

[Kelly sighs]

[soft music playing]

Oh... Valerie.

- Thank you so much for coming.
- Well...

Thank you for, uh, inviting me.

After last night, I wasn't sure
you'd ever want to see me again.

You know, I wanted to invest
with you so badly that...

I guess I kind of overstated
my friendship with Kelly.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Please.

I'm--I'm the one
that owes an apology.

I didn't think
she'd get that upset.

So, did she tell you why?

No. She wouldn't talk to me.

We're not as close
as I'd like to be.

I was never very close with
my dad before he died either.

Let's get back
to business, shall we?

I was starting to tell you
about Derek Driscoll.

Ahh. He's a real charmer.
Hustler.

Probably brings in
a lot of business.

He hasn't worked for me
in over three months.

What do you mean?
He's not on salary or something?

- He just works on commission?
- He doesn't work for me at all.

- But that's impossible.
- Not since I caught him

embezzling money from clients.

Driscoll is a crook, Valerie.
He talks people

into giving him their money
and then he disappears.

No, no. No, wait, see...

I met him here,
in your L.A. Office.

I don't have an L.A. office.

I gave him $100,000.

It's all the money I have.

I mean, without it...
I have nothing.

I am so sorry. I just wish
there was something I could do.

Absolutely nothing.
