NEWSCASTER:
Well, you've heard
the old expression

"children should be seen
and not heard?"

Well, now there's a government
survey that wants to know

what kids have to say
on a variety of subjects,

but one of those subjects
has some people up in arms.

Evan Eber reports.

Oh, this is it, this is it!
Turn up the sound.

EBER:
Many of the questions
pertain to sex,

and therein lies
the controversy.

Critics contend
the government-funded survey

promotes a message
that casual sex is okay.

There's John Griffin!
But proponents insist otherwise.

Who's he?

John Griffin,

he's the managing editor
of the paper.

They claim that
teen pregnancy, AIDS,

and other consequences of
adolescent sexual behavior

cannot be prevented
unless we know something

about the behavior itself.

But not everyone agrees.

BRENDA:
And there's Mrs. Teasley.

BRANDON:
Oh, Andrea!

(giggles)

I look awful.

Oh, you do not!

How come I don't see your
bones up there, squeef?

There I am right there.

Where?

Right there, that's
my elbow, right there.

See?

Well, we could
see your whole face

if the sign
wasn't covering it.

Our public health is not served

by prying into every corner
of our children's lives.

This is a wrongful allocation
of taxpayer money,

and we think the department

should freeze the funding
immediately.

EBER:
No matter what happens tomorrow,

one thing remains clear:

when it comes to the issue
of teenage sexuality,

everyone's passion
can become inflamed.

For Newswatch, I'm Evan Eber.

Well, you kids must
have had some day.

Quite an experience.

Can't believe I ended up
on the cutting room floor.

Better luck
next time, champ.

Well, Mrs. Walsh, it's
getting to be that time.

I think we ought
to head on up to bed.

Okay.
Night, all.

Good night, everybody.
Night.

Yeah, Miss Walsh,

I think it's getting
to be about that time.

We'd better head
on up to bed.

Right.

Well, you can't blame
a guy for trying, right?

So, uh, staff meeting
first period tomorrow, huh?

Yeah.
Great.

Great.

Great.

Hey, Brandon.

You didn't tell me
your folks were having

the Parents' Association
meeting at your house.

Well, that's because
I'm the last one to know.

When is it?
Hey-hey.

So, Walsh, uh, did you
see us on the news?

Hey, sorry your mug
didn't make the cut.

Yours almost broke
our picture tube.

John, your face
was all over the TV.

I tried to call you
to tell you it was on,

but there was no answer.

Oh, well, I was
at Brandon's house.

Aren't they
the darling duo?

Kelly, what's wrong?
You sound cranky.

Just seeing David
reminds me of

how much my mom
likes his dad.

What can she see in a guy

who's idea of a good time
is a gum massage?

Kelly, he's a dentist.

All right, who's available
third period?

I am.
You're already facilitating
the assembly, John.

I can cover both.
Whoa. Eager little
beaver, aren't we?

Why? Just 'cause I don't
phone it in, Walsh?

Hey, Mrs. T.

Are they ready for us?
We're all set.

Is everything all right,
Mrs. Teasley?

I'm afraid I have
some disappointing news.

They're hypocrites,
that's all there is to it.

Two-faced ignoramuses.

Or is it ignorami?

No, what it is
is a travesty.

It's a triumph of
ignorance over knowledge.

That's good.

You should put that
in your editorial.

Andrea, what's going on?

I was supposed to
get out of English Lit

for the sex survey.

A public health survey, Steve.

Yeah, whatever.
When's it gonna start?

It's been canceled.

You mean, postponed
because of the rain?

No, canceled.
Over. Finito.

Great.

Now I actually have to read
Brave New World.

So, listen, if you need any
help with that editorial,

I'm at your disposal.

Hey, Andrea.

Flogged any more school
administrators today?

Yeah, Brandon
said that

you really gave it
to Mrs. Teasley.

You should've heard her.

She was...

Explosive.

I don't blame you.

I mean, it's really unfair.

It's like they don't give a damn
about what we have to say.

Well, my mom
will be happy.

She doesn't think they
should ask kids about sex

because it might
give them ideas.

Donna, doesn't your mom
read the newspaper?

There were a million
teenage pregnancies

in this country last year.

Every year,
three million teenagers

contract sexually-
transmitted diseases.

That is not because
of any survey.

Andrea, settle down.

No, people are dying, Brandon.

More Americans have died
from the AIDS virus

than were killed in the Vietnam
and Korean wars combined.

More are gonna die
in the next two years than...

than in the ten years
since the virus was discovered.

How can... how can people
ignore this problem?

Give 'em hell, Andrea.

(school bell rings)
Catch you guys later.

I mean, honestly, how can
any of these questions

get people worked up?

"Have you ever had sexual
intercourse before?"

Excuse me?

"Have you ever used
any of the following:

birth control pills,
IUD, condoms..."

You know what I was thinking?

After school today,
maybe you and I

could go over to
the college library...
Yes!

Really?

I mean, no.

Oh, well, it,
it was just a thought.

No, no, no,
I mean, I think I know

how to make them
take us seriously.

I can't believe I didn't
think of it before.

Tonight's Board
of Education meeting.

MAN:
And although the report
was accepted

by the Board, uh, it was not
filled out in triplicate

until after the deadline
had passed.

Maybe this isn't
such a good idea.

It's on the agenda.

It's too late
to stop now.

Not if we just
stand up and go.

Um... Andrea Zuckerman?

Is Andrea Zuckerman here?

Here goes nothing.

Hello, Andrea.

How's the student press corps?

Fine, thanks, Mr. Beale.

Um, I know it's late,
so I'll get right to the point.

I hereby

propose that the West Beverly
Hills Board of Education

move to consider adopting
a plan to make condoms

available to the students

on the campus of
West Beverly High.

(indistinct murmuring)

Well, I so move.

I second that motion.

Sheila?!

Well, why not?

We ought to at least
consider it.

GRIFFIN:
You guys should've seen her
up there. It was great.

I mean, they were practically
interrogating her.

But she stayed calm,
and stood her ground.

He gets a little
carried away sometimes.

Come on, Andrea.
You were brilliant.

You were tough.
You were inspirational.

But how was she
really, John?

Ta-dah!

On the house.
Thanks, Nat.

So when is this
new program starting?

Well, it's only on
the table at this point.

Not everybody in the
Parents' Association

is gonna go for it.

Yeah, you want me
to talk to 'em for ya?

You're the expert,
huh. Nat?

You jungle stud.

Thanks for being
so supportive, Nat.

Don't mention it.

Of course, if it
were my daughter,

I'd lock her in the closet
till she was 35.

(laughs)

(laughing)

Don't laugh.

That's what my mom
would like to do with me.

Over my dead body.

Uh, David, easy, tiger.

Donna, maybe you
should just...

not tell your mom about the
Parents' Association meeting.

She never misses a meeting,

and she especially wants
to meet your mom.

It could be a real
free-for-all.

I hope your mom's
prepared for that.

You guys know Cindy Walsh.

Nothing fazes her.

(indistinct conversations)

Jackie, Mel.

Grab a chair,
they're going fast.

Hi. Where's Kelly?
She's at home.

Hi, Felice.

Jackie, how are you?

Comme ci, comme ça.
A little bug.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hi, Bren.
Hi, I'm glad
you made it.

Oh, Mrs. Walsh, this
is my mother, Felice.

Hi.
Hi.

You're a very
brave woman

to host one of
these things.

I am?

Knock, knock.

Andrea, hi.

Hi, everybody.
Hi.

Ah, the infamous
Andrea Zuckerman?

Mom...

Cindy, Cindy,

I'd like you to
meet Bill Sloane.

Hi.

Any friend of Mel's
is a friend of ours.

Well, thanks, uh...

I thought this was supposed
to be a parents' meeting.

Oh. Oh, yes. Oh.

Well, but that's
just my daughter
and her friends.

They're really only here
to observe.

Find your father.

(clears throat)

I don't want my kid to be able
to walk up to a school nurse

and say, "Give me a condom."

It's as simple as that.
At least at school

they would provide
some instruction.
Mel, please.

If I wanted my kid
to receive instruction,

I would teach him.

Bill...
Just as simple
as that, Mel.

Then just decide
for your own kid,

and not for
everybody else's.

Don't you decide
how my tax dollars

are going to be spent.

Look, we're all gonna pay a lot
more down the road

if we don't take some action
before it's too late.

Gentlemen, please!

Mrs. Martin has been
waiting patiently.

Let's give her the floor.

Thank you.

Boy, David's dad is very, uh...

Belligerent?

Outspoken.

Yeah, but so is my mom.

FELICE:
Hi, everybody.

Dr. Martin would've liked
to have been here tonight,

but unfortunately,
he's at a medical conference

addressing his colleagues
on this very subject, in fact.

And I'm sure he'd be a lot
better at this than me,

but what he would've said
to all you is this:

Year after year, the experts
have been telling us

that condoms are
the most effective way

to prevent the spread of AIDS

and other sexually-
transmitted diseases.

And yet,

year after year,
more people are getting sick,

more people are dying.

Children are dying.

It's very clear

there's a lot we don't
know about this disease.

It's clear something
is not working.

I submit, condoms
aren't the answer.

(indistinct talking)

They work when people
use them right.

Not always.

FELICE:
As a concerned parent,
as an educated woman,

and as a member
of the generation

that barely survived
the Sexual Revolution,

I'm tired
of kids being told,

"Well, you really
shouldn't have sex,

"but if you do,"
nod, nod, wink, wink,

"here's a condom, go have fun."

No.

No, we owe our children
more than a mixed message.

She does have a point.

FELICE:
We owe them the very best
guidance we can give them.

And the only advice we can give
in good conscience,

the only 100% reliable advice,

is to use that
old-fashioned method

that is just
simply gonna have

to become fashionable again,
and that method is abstinence.

(indistinct talking, applause)

Andrea, say something.

And if they don't listen--
which a lot of them won't--

do you just shrug and say,
"Well, I told you so"?

Donna...

I'm sorry, Mom, but...

What is this,
a student council meeting?

Bill, I'd like to hear
what Donna has to say.

(exhales)

Oh, gosh.
Andrea, you go ahead.

Come on, Donna.
No, you go ahead.

Yeah, go on Donna,
go ahead.

Uh, it's just...

if you say that kids
don't need condoms

because they shouldn't be
having sex in the first place,

well, you're overlooking
two very important things.

One is that a lot of kids
are having sex,

and the other is
that they are kids.

I mean... it's like,

if you have a swimming pool
in your backyard,

you can tell your children
not to go in it,

you can even build a fence
around it,

but if you know
that they're going to find a way

into that water,
don't you think you ought

to teach those kids how to swim?

(people murmuring)

Couldn't have
said it better.

JIM:
If you would've told me
ten years ago

that I would be
in my living room

arguing about condoms
in front of my kids,

I would've said
you were nuts.

I remember when
the big controversy at the PTA

was over where they were gonna
hold the next holiday bake sale.

(groans):
I thought David's dad

was gonna knock out
that Sloane guy.

Yeah, well, he
would've deserved it.

Hey, I know Bill Sloane
from racquetball,

and he's a good guy,
and he's a very caring father.

Well, if he's so
worried about his son

getting his hands
on a condom,

why doesn't he just have
a little talk with him?

Honey, it's hard
for some people

to talk with their
kids about sex.

It wasn't hard
for you guys.

Speak for yourself, bro.

BRANDON:
No, I'm serious.

Remember the time Cheryl came
out from Minnesota and we...

(laughs):
Yeah, well, maybe...
(sighs)

Well, personally, I think
it's getting a lot easier

with all the media exposure
and everything.

Well, that's true--
I mean, ever since

Magic Johnson announced
that he was HIV positive,

it seems like all you hear about
is condoms and safer sex.

And abstinence.

Right.

Hey, before you know it,
frank discussions of sexuality

may be so common that we don't
even think twice about it.

Well,

as you say,
it's a new world.

Really, who'd have thought
Andrea Zuckerman

would be leading
the next sexual revolution?

Whoever would've
thought that Donna Martin

would be leading the
next sexual revolution?

Yeah.

So, guys, about last night,
uh, pretty big meeting, huh?

You should've been there.
Your dad got
really into it.

Yeah, well I heard
Donna was really, uh...

Vocal?
Yeah, and she was
pretty, uh...

Persuasive?
Yes, yes.

Really persuasive.

Yeah, I think after
she finished talking

a lot of people
had changed their minds.
Oh, yeah, definitely.

So, do you think I should, uh...

you know?

Make a move?

I have to admit,
it has crossed my mind.

Well, here's a shocker--
I bet it's crossed hers, too.

Yeah.

So, you think this
condom availability plan

is gonna
go through, huh?

Well, Andrea thinks
it's a shoo-in,

but I don't know--
it only passed

at the parents' meeting
by a couple of votes.

But how soon do you think
before we get some?

Go to a drugstore, man.

Excuse me. John, hey,
John, what's going on?

Andrea's being interviewed
for the news.

BRANDON:
Get out of here.

GRIFFIN:
No, I swear.

They got wind of the upcoming
School Board vote.

Now we're national news.
But why?

We're certainly not the
first high school in America

to consider
a condom program.

No, but we're the first one
in Beverly Hills to consider it.

Beverly High didn't
get on it already?
Not yet.

ANDREA:
Because otherwise,

we are gonna inherit the society

that pays the price for this
generation's failure to act.

Brandon, can I talk
to you a moment?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, David.

Donna, hi.
How you doing?

Great!
Mm.

Uh... so your mom
wasn't too hard on you?

Oh, well, she disowned me.

Very funny.

Actually, I think
she'd like to.

But I told her,
sometimes you just

have to take a stand,
you know what I'm saying?

Absolutely.

Of course she's entitled
to speak her own mind,

but being interviewed on campus
without clearing it first

puts me in a very
awkward position.

And now she's insisting
that The Blaze

do its own sex survey, and all
sorts of unrealistic demands.

Well, you know Andrea--

she just gets real passionate
about the issues.

Well, perhaps you can

help her tone down
some of that passion.

The last thing any
of us want to see

is her jeopardize her position
as editor on the paper.

I'll talk to her.

Thanks, Brandon.
Okay.

ANDREA:
Two-thirds
of sexually active teens

are between the ages
of 16 and 19.

(sighs)

MEL:
I hear that, uh,
Andrea Zuckerman

was interviewed
on the news today.

Can we please talk
about some other subject?

Would you smell this?

All I've been
hearing about for days

is Andrea Zuckerman and
her mighty condom crusade.

It smells fine to me.

What do you think?

Me, too.

I mean this whole
condom thing

is already such old news.

Uh, I'll just...
have tea.

My stomach is really
on the fritz.

Well, believe it or not,

some people haven't
gotten the message yet.

You were telling me
all about birth control

before I ever even
got my period.

(coughs)
JACKIE:
Well,

with a wild child like you,
I figured we were better safe

than sorry.

But how many kids your age
are emotionally ready

to be involved
in a sexual relationship?

MEL:
It's so much easier
with a boy.

You just give 'em
a copy of Playboy

and say "Good luck."

Dad. (laughs)

I'm just kidding.
They know I was kidding.

But the point is,

it's not just about
birth control anymore.

It's really about
disease prevention.

I mean, it's a completely
different world

than when we were young.

Yeah. In our day,
we had to walk ten miles

through the snow
just to get to a love-in.

Well, I may be out of step

with most of
my friends, but...

as much as I agree
condoms are necessary,

I don't think
they're necessary in school.

I mean, like you said,
a lot of kids

just aren't ready
to deal with sex.

Most of the boys are totally
obsessed with it as it is.

Next thing you know,
they're gonna be throwing

condom balloons
out the second-floor lounge.

Oh come on, they're
not that bad.

Yes, they are!

David, tell them.

Tell them what?

These days,
isn't just everyone

totally preoccupied with sex?

Uh...

not that I've noticed.

So I'm kind of nervous,
you know, and I see 'em sitting

behind the counter,
but the cashier's being

really obnoxious,
and she's yelling out

the prices at the top
of her lungs...
Come on, get to the point.

Did you get any or no?

(clears throat):
Check it out.

Did you ever know there were
so many varieties?

What'd you get,
one of each?

Here, take some.

No, thanks.

DAVID:
You don't need any?

STEVE:
No.

Not at the moment.

Brandon, I don't know what
you people from The Blaze

are trying to accomplish,
but I would appreciate it

if you'd leave
me out of it.
What are we doing?

The personal journals!

Oh, that. Um...
your name just came up.

Um, if you don't want
to do it...

I don't want to do it.

Would you like
us to leave

so you two can...
No.

Andrea's trying
to round up some people

to write about some personal
experiences, that's all.

Some personal
sexual experiences.

For the school newspaper,
of all things? I'd rather die!

Yeah, I wouldn't want
to do that, either.

Yeah, man, that goes for
me, too, bro-- scratch
my name off that list.

Yeah, I hear you.

Look, I'll tell Andrea
you said no, okay?

Andrea Zuckerman doesn't always
take no for an answer.

Now she actually wants us to go

and hand out condoms
on the street.

She wants us to do what?

Excuse me, when did we
start giving out condoms?

No, not condoms.

Just these informational packets
they sent over.

Who sent over?

My uncle.
He's a psychologist.

He's affiliated with
this theater group
in West Hollywood.

They do a show
on safer sex.

Then they have
a question-and-answer period,

and afterwards, they hand out
these informational packets

to people who request them.

Well, now,
correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm still on the editorial board
of this paper.

I should've been consulted
about this, shouldn't I?

We had to make a decision.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

Andrea, why are you
so obsessed about this?

You told me the School
Board's gonna vote

three to two in favor
of your proposal.
My sources definitely think

they're gonna postpone
the vote-- if they do,

this gives us something
to bargain with.
What do you mean?

In Massachusetts, some kids
took action on their own.

Of course, they were
handing out condoms,

but the School Board sat down
and negotiated with them.

Besides, it's for a good cause--
it's a community service project

whose sole purpose is to educate
kids about AIDS and safer sex.

Andrea, I'm not knocking the
project, it's the protocol.

I should've been asked
about this, not told.

(laughs):
I'm sorry, Brandon--
you're never around anymore...

Hey, I was working.
I have a job, remember?
I know,

but this thing has momentum,
it has got a life of its own.

Maybe you should get a life of
your own before it's too late.

Excuse me?

You know...
sometimes you get so caught up

in your quest to save the world,
you don't see

that you're alienating people.

Like who?

Just trust me on this, okay?

The only people who ever respond

to these in-your-face tactics
are already on your side.

(wry laugh)

I know what this is about--
you're jealous!

Jealous?
Yes.

You can't stand it

that John Griffin got
on TV and you didn't.

And now you resent me
because I'm in the spotlight.

So now you got it all
figured out, huh?

You got me all figured out--
everything in the world

is black and white,
cut and dried.

Well, let me tell you
something: it isn't.

Not with me,
and not with an issue

like having condoms in school!

I'm sorry, you're wrong.

The statistics are
black and white.

There are proven facts--

people just don't want
to admit it.

And what you don't
want to admit

is that you don't
know that much

about the other part of it,

the part that doesn't show up
in statistics or surveys.

And what, pray tell,
is that?

The feelings! The sex!

Andrea, if you had a
little more experience,

you'd know that love
is not a public health issue.

(voice breaks):
Thanks for bringing that
to my attention.

Andrea...

Thanks a lot.

BRENDA:
Come on, Brandon, I mean,

even in the best
of circumstances,

you're a sore subject
with Andrea.

And then when
you put her down

for being inexperienced...

Whoa, whoa, hey, I wasn't
putting her down.

Then what were
you doing, Brandon?

It came out
wrong, okay?

How could I know she'd be
so sensitive about it?

What'd you expect?

I mean just mentioning it

probably set off
all those scared feelings.

You know,

"I'll be a virgin forever.

There must be something
wrong with me."

Brenda, that's ridiculous.

Maybe, but it's also normal.

Well, how do you know
she feels that way?
I don't,

but I do know how she feels
about you

and I'm sure
that only made it worse.

Great.

You want me to talk to her?

No, I gotta clean up
my own messes.

Yeah, well you better
take a big shovel.

Ha-ha.
Hi, handsome!

BOTH:
Mm...

Could I give you
a lift somewhere?

That might be arranged.

Whoa, whoa, hey.

You're gonna desert me
in my hour of need?

We'll send you a postcard.

See you tomorrow.

What? What are you
laughing at?

I'm laughing at you.

What? What? Mm.

Andrea,
I'm really worried

about the Board
meeting tonight.

Donna's mother's
on the agenda.

It's okay.

We have the facts
and votes on our side.

You know, we ought
to get there early

to make sure
we get good seats.

You want me to stop
by your grandma's house

on the way
to pick you up?

How 'bout I just
meet you there?

Okay.

Oh, before I forget.

Our first "true confession"
came in this morning.

Huh?

The personal journals
for the special edition.

Right.

I think this one's
really good.

Maybe a page-one prospect.

Don't you want to hear it?

All right.

It's called...

"Okay, So I'm A Virgin".

You like the title?

John, I gotta go.

I'll see you later, okay?

Andrea...

(girls conversing)

Hi.

Uh, Andrea, look,
before you say a word,

I'm not writing
anything for the paper.

I know,
Brandon told me.

Uh, loud and clear.

Well, there's a fine line
between informative and sleazy.

And exactly where
is that line, Kelly?

Well, you know
what they say,

"I can't tell you, but
I'll know when I see it"

See ya.

Don't let her bother you.

I'm still writing my piece and
it is not going to be sleazy.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

There's just a lot going on and
I'll be glad when it's over.

Well, the vote's tonight.

We'll celebrate afterwards.

Okay, thanks.

Avoiding anyone
in particular?

Excuse me.

I don't want
to "get in anyone's face"

and "alienate" them.

Come on, Andrea,
hold on a second.

No, it's late,
I gotta go.

Look, I don't want
you to think

I don't respect what
you've been doing.

It's hard to
be outspoken.

I respect that.

That's not what
you said yesterday.

Well, there were a lot of
things I said yesterday

I'd like to take back.

Listen, I also have to
tell you I can't make it

to the Board meeting
tonight, I gotta work.

But I want to wish you
the best of luck.

You've worked
hard for this.

Feel free to jump
in any time.

I don't have much to say
for once.

Well, listen, about yesterday,
I'm, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.

You know it was bad enough

being reminded how
"inexperienced" I am.

But hearing you apologize
for it...

it's even worse.

Singleton?

Nay.

Beale?

Nay.

That's two nays.

It's okay.

I think the rest
are with us.

Sporkin?

Yes!

All right!

Pula?

Yes.

The next one's Manners.

She seconded the motion!
We're in!

Manners?

Nay.

(murmuring, applause)

BRENDA:
The vote has nothing
to do with the issues.

Sheila Manners and Donna's mom
are best friends.

BRANDON:
I don't know, Bren.

Maybe she really believes
what she was saying,

that handing out condoms
could encourage casual sex.

Which is like saying

seat belts might encourage
people to drive cars.

Well, don't worry.

If we need 'em,
we can always get

some "seat belts"
from David Silver.

This all makes me
so depressed.

What good does that do?

I mean, we can't just
roll over and play dead

because of one
measly vote.

Donna's right.
We should set up a picket line

in front of the Board
of Education.

No.

You know your uncle
the psychologist?

We should help
his group pass out

those informational
packets on safer sex.

Hey, I'd do that
in a minute.

I don't know about Kelly,
but maybe it's something

that Dylan might want
to be involved with.

I bet a lot of people would
want to do that with us.

And I bet we could get
the media to cover it.

BRANDON:
What do you
think, Chief?

I don't know.

Uh, why don't you guys
coordinate it with John?

I'll see you later.

She's taking
this hard.

What do you expect? She really
felt it was important.

No, what she felt was important
was having a forum

to discuss the issues.

Now, just because there's
no vote pending

doesn't mean that we have
to stop making ourselves

be heard in a mature
and dignified way.

So what kind of I.D. do you need
to rent a hotel room?

A hotel room?

Well, I mean, you can't
just seduce a girl

in her own car, can you?

David, do I look
like Ann Landers?

No, more like Dr. Ruth.

Look, the reason I'm asking
you about the hotel room

is Donna told me that you
and Brenda rented one

at the prom last year.

She told you that?

It was a small detail

that will never
ever pass these lips.

Why, look, I forgot
about it already.

It's a good thing.

Hobson, I'm bailing.

All right, man,
say hi to my family.

(doorbell rings)

CINDY:
Honey, it's Dylan.

BRENDA:
Send him up!

Whatcha doin'?

Waiting for you.

Yeah?

Does that mean that you're
actually ready to go?

Of course not.

It just means that now it's
your turn to wait for me

What's this, Bren?

Oh, it's for the Blaze,
the special edition.

Like hell it is!

"As often as you read

"about girls who become pregnant
unintentionally,

"you cannot imagine the feelings
until you believe

you are in a situation
yourself".

You were going
to print that?

I am going to print it.

I don't kiss and tell.

I don't talk about my conquests
in the locker room.

Dylan, I know you don't.

Look, I'm not saying anything
that's untrue

or even embarrassing.

No, it's not embarrassing,

but it's very personal to me
and you are not gonna print it.

Dylan, come on.
I mean, I can just redo it.

It's not as if I don't remember
what I wrote.

I wish you'd forget it.

Dylan, wait a second.

Are you leaving?

Are you gonna go ahead
with this?

Dylan...

Good night, Bren.

Dylan, wait!

Dylan, wait!

Dylan!

Dylan, please come inside.

I'm not going to try
and change your mind

if it means
that much to you.

Just tell me why
you're so upset.

I can't believe you.

Dylan, I was only writing
that piece

because I think
there's a need for it.

I was scared to death
when I thought I was pregnant,

It would've helped me so much

to have know that there was
someone else out there our age

who had been through it.

You wrote about something
very personal

that I was involved in
for the whole school to read.

You didn't even ask me
how I felt!

I'm sorry.

I didn't see it that way.

Yeah,

you have good intentions, Bren,
but right now

I need to keep my private life
very, very private.

I thought you knew that!

Dylan, I was writing about me,
about my feelings.

They're gonna know
who the guy is, Bren.

How many boyfriends have you had
at West Beverly?

One...

and I'd like
to keep it that way.

Why don't you come back inside?

Smells good.

Is that the perfume
I gave you.

Maybe, maybe not.

DAVID:
Hi, guys.

Hey, Silver.

I'm gonna go talk
to Andrea.

Bye.
Bye-bye.

Look, thanks for the
advice last night, man.

What advice?

Well, it wasn't
so much what you said.

It was the way
you didn't say it.

See, it really got
me thinking.

It's all a
question of timing.

Like the song said,
"You can't hurry love".

So, we just gotta
hang tight,

wait for the right
moment to come along.

or until I get my license.

Hi. Great news.

My parents left for Aspen,

so we can watch
the MTV special at my house.

Hi, Dylan. Bye, Dylan.

Bye, Donna.

Timing's everything.

GRIFFIN:
Now, remember, this topic can
make people very nervous,

so after the show,
don't be pushy

if someone's not interested.

I think that's probably
pretty obvious, John.

Um, Andrea...

I'm really sorry,
but I've decided not to do

my piece on the pregnancy scare.

I hope it doesn't goof up your
special edition too much.

No, it's okay.

I understand.

Look, Dylan just didn't
want me to, and...

Look, you don't need to
explain, Brenda, okay?

I mean, I'm not even sure

that I'm going through
with it anymore.

Okay, now does anyone have any
questions about this stuff?

Anything?

I can't do this.

I can't walk up
to a total stranger

and hand him an information
packet about sex.

Come on, Kelly, it's a public
service, it's a good deed.

Doesn't anyone want
to go shopping instead?

Kelly!

Well, that's a good deed.
It's helping the economy.

BRENDA:
Look, why don't we stick
with AIDS education today

and retail tomorrow, okay?

Sorry, guys.
Count me out.

Well, Dylan, glad
you could make it.

Here's a little light
reading for you.

All right, guys let's
get on with it, huh?

I thought there'd be some
dirty pictures in there.

(Brandon laughing)

BRANDON:
All right, who
wants the box?

Good man.

After you.

You go ahead with Brandon,
I'll meet you guys later.

No, I'll...
I'll wait for you.

ANDREA:
I-I don't know
if I'm gonna go.

I... I'm not feeling that well.

Do you need me to take you
to the nurse, or something?

John...
John, just go, okay?

I'll be fine.

You're not coming, are you?

Well, you and John can handle
this fine without me.

Come on, Andrea,
stomp on my foot,

give me a face rake an eye
gouge, something, I don't know,

just stop making me feel
so guilty, okay?

Brandon, let me just clarify
something for you.

I'm the one whose feelings
were hurt here.

Oh, so I'm the hurt-er, and
you're the hurt-ee, is that it?

Exactly.

Are you sure you
don't want to come?

Yeah.

I'm tired
and I'm a little burned out,

And if I never hear
the word "condom" again,

it will be too soon.

We could always just
use sign language.

Or not, and say we did.

You go ahead, they're
waiting for you.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

See you.

I keep leaving my chemistry book
everywhere I go.

I think my subconscious is
trying to tell me something.

Andrea,

what's the matter?

Why didn't
you go with them?

I couldn't be that much
of a hypocrite.

I mean, who am I to try to
educate people about safer sex

when I've never...

You're probably much better off.

Easy for you to say.

You could have any guy you want.

No, I can't.

Name one guy you ever
wanted who turned you down.

Brandon Walsh.

Brandon?

Yeah, last year
at the spring dance

he told me he thinks of me
like a "sister".

Oh.

You're still really stuck
on him, aren't you?

Yes.

Why is that?

Because we always want
what we can't have.

Well, at least you've
had something.

Andrea, wait just a second.

When I was a freshman, I threw
myself at a senior

who pushed me into a bush and
never talked to me again.

For the next year and a half
I spent all my time

trying to "live up"
to that reputation.

And now, even though
I've changed,

I never know whether a guy asked
me out because he likes me,

or because he thinks I'm easy.

I'm sorry, that's terrible.

So don't sit here feeling
sorry for yourself.

You're not missing
out on anything

you can't do later on.

Me, I can never go back.

Too bad we just can't meet
in the middle.

I think we already have.

John.

Oh, so long. Okay?

John, what are
you doing here?

I decided not to go.

Why?

Well, I've gone
on these "field trips"

with my uncle and
the group before and...

I don't know, I wasn't
up for it today.

I guess I just don't feel
like part of the gang.

Is it Brandon?

No, I like Brandon.
Everybody does.

It's-it's just
the little comments

here and there, the in-jokes.

Without you, I guess
I just feel

like an outsider,
you know?

I sure do.

It's like what
I wrote in that essay:

"Just because you have
four hooves,

doesn't mean you have
to follow the herd."

What essay was that?

The one you didn't want to read.

Is that the one about feeling
like the last virgin on Earth?

Yeah.

You wrote that?

Yeah.

Look, if, uh, I were
to go to West Hollywood

to be with the others,
uh, would you go with me?

Well, sure.

And if, um...

I wanted to go
to the movies afterwards,

would...
would you take me?

I thought you'd never ask.

(rhythm and blues playing)

♪ I know I over-analyze. ♪

Who's hungry?
Me.

Okay, extra large, half
pepperoni, half cheese.

Oh, great.
How much do I owe you?

I got it.

No, come on.

No, you can get
it next time.

Okay, fine. Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

What's this?

Uh...

I have other kinds
if you don't like that one.

Oh, you're such a kidder.

David!

Uh, you... you want
one piece or two?

Uh, maybe we should work
up an appetite first?

Uh, wait.

I'm beginning to think you
aren't kidding about...

Why would I be kidding?

It's like you said,

"If you're in the pool,
you got to swim!"

Wait a second. I'm over
here on the chaise lounge.

What?

I don't intend
to sleep with you.

Oh, oh, oh, it's too soon.

I can see that.

No, I'm not gonna do that,
with anybody.

You mean ever?

Well, with my husband
of course.

I mean, I'm not entering

a convent or anything,
for God's sake.

Wait a second, what about
all that stuff you said

at the Parents' Meeting?

I just don't want to see
kids get sick, or worse,

because their parents have
their heads in the sand.

I mean, AIDS is not the only
sexually transmitted disease.

There's lots of others,
for instance...

I know, I know.

Look, I don't have any
of those, I swear.

I know, I believe you.

It's just, right now, for me,
life is complicated enough

without getting involved
in a sexual relationship.

So I guess driving to Vegas
is out of the question?

I hope you're not too upset.

No, I'm not really.

I'm... I'm actually
kind of relieved.

So, uh, what'll it be?

Pepperoni or cheese?

Uh, pepperoni, definitely.

Oh, Bren, I gotta go.
my mom just walked in.

Okay, bye.

Hello, what'd you want
to talk to me about?

Kelly,

I want you to promise me

that you will never, ever
have unprotected sex.

Not even once.

What are you talking about?
What is the matter?

I'm pregnant.
