just stop singing

Okay, make a wish.

(coughing)

Hay, all right.

Thanks, everybody, for coming.

(coughing)

What he would like
to say is that although

this is not the actual
date until next week,

he's very glad that
you could all be here

to celebrate his,
what, 80th...?

Oh. 18th birthday.

Well, I'm glad
I'm not the only one anymore.

That's quite a cough
you got there, bro.

I've been practicing.

(music playing)
Oh, I love this song.

Come on.
No.

Come on!
No.

Mr. Meyers?

Gil.

Gil, can I ask you
about my paper
on Emily Dickinson?

Come on, Andrea.
That's business.

I'm off duty tonight.

Why did you give me a B+?

You don't let up, do you?

It's a party!

♪ Whatcha gonna do
when she catches you? ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Only you, this time
I saw you at the club. ♪

(music ends, clapping)

Where did you learn to dance
like that, anyway, huh?

Completely self-taught.

Yeah?
That's what they all say.

What else do they say?

You ordered the onion rings,
I ordered the French fries.

Oh, yeah. I got
your order down here.

Hey! What are
you doing here?

Hanging out. Want some cake?

No. You know, what I do want

is to know what I have to do
to get a decent grade from you.

Take my clothes off?

Uh... Andrea, do you know Sue?

Uh... No.
Not really.

Andrea Zuckerman,
Sue Scanlon.

Hi.

Hi.

Listen, Gil, I'm not kidding.

My mom's going to kill me
if I fail freshman English.

Sue...

Look, I'll just
leave you two

to, uh...
take care of business.

Sue, it's hard to
get decent grades

if you're cutting
class all the time.

Well, couldn't I just

do an independent
study project instead?

I mean, I really
do work better one-on-one.

Tell you what.

Come by tomorrow,

and we'll talk
about it.

And don't let your
mom get you down.

SUE:
See ya.

You're late.

Only by four minutes

and 13 seconds.

Are you making fun of me?

No.

You can forget about going out
for the rest of the week.

And next week, too,
for that matter.

But, Mom, you said I could...

Uncle Henry is coming tomorrow.

He'll be sleeping here
in Scotty's room.

Well, why can't he stay

downstairs
in the den?

Mom, you haven't let anybody
touch this room

for a whole year.
I mean, not since Scotty died.

Excuse me, Sue Scanlon.

When you have a family
and a home

of your own, you can
decide who sleeps where.

It's only fitting that
Henry should stay here.

He was Scotty's favorite uncle.

(door closes)

I thought Office Service
was supposed to be fun.

You get to know
who's coming in late

and who's flunking out.

Mostly I just deliver
notes for Mrs. Teasley.

What's Sue in for?

She practically
lives here.

Hi, Sue.
Hi.

All right, I have
to go pick up the attendance.

Well, wait. Where do I
put the announcements
for the Art Fair?

Just put it with
all the other folders,

and don't peek in the files.

Listen, Sue,
we never got a chance to talk

about what happened
between you and David

at the dance last week.

You don't have to worry, Donna.

He doesn't mean anything to me.

I know you don't mean that.

I don't want you to have
to feel weird around David now.

Look, I told you
I'd stay away from him.

You don't have to do that.

Look, Sue,
David does care about you.

But there is
a difference

between romantic love
and affection shown

from a friend who's almost
like part of your family.

I know that, Donna.

I know all about it. Okay?

Now, hold it
just a moment.

I'm in shock here.

Brandon is coming
to a dance club?

Like, to have fun?

Oh, he's
been practicing.

And he's going to
show you guys up.

Kingston 12,
here we come!

I haven't been.

I have no idea what
she's talking about.

Kingston 12?
You're kidding, right?

Good luck, Baryshnikov.

Can't wait to compare moves
with you, big guy.

Brandon, could it be

that you're becoming
open-minded in your old age?

More like
feebleminded, Bren.

What am I thinking about?

I hate dancing.

Nikki likes it.

Yeah.

So, you and Dylan
want to come with?

It looks doubtful,
at the rate he's going.

You know, I'm really
worried about him.

What did the doctor say?

You know how you
feel about dancing?

That's how he feels
about doctors.

(coughing)

Hey, D,
how's that cough?

It's all right.

How you doing?

(coughing)

SUE:
I don't get why
Mrs. Teasley hates me.

I mean, what did I do to her?

I begged her
not to call my mother,

but she said
that she has to.

You're really going
through a tough patch

right now, aren't you?

I mean, so what
if I flunk out?

My mom would
probably die of shame.

She thinks her
daughter's a deadbeat.

Do you think
you're a deadbeat?

Sometimes I just think
I'd be better off dead.

I mean, it should have been me,

not my brother.

I'm sorry.

For what? For being honest?

We all get down
on ourselves sometimes,

but you get through it.

You've just
got to focus

on the good things
in your life.

The things that are
worth sticking around for.

Like what? There's nothing.

Well...

if you weren't around,
you wouldn't know me.

See what you would

be missing out on?

Are you conceited or what?

Of course I am.

Did I detect a smile there?

Hmm? Almost?

I came here to talk
about grades and papers.

Here you are,
trying to cheer me up.

You really are different.

So are you.

Sue, you're a very special girl.

You just need
to believe it.

GIL:
What do the works

of Poe, Hawthorne and Crane
have in common?

Can anyone tell me?

Brandon?

Uh... Well,
they're all very... dark,

for lack
of a better word.

No, that's exactly
the right word.

And they all rely heavily
on symbolism

as they explore
the dark side of humanity.

Mr. Meyers.

Thank you, Ms. Walsh.
Uh... Mrs. Teasley

said you should
look at it as
soon as possible.

Excuse me. We're trying
to learn something here.

I doubt that, Brandon.

Um... Where were we?

On the dark side.

I don't get it.

First, he bails
in the middle of AP,

and then he's a no-show
for the staff meeting.

It's just very
out of character for Gil.

Is it?

You don't think so?

Let's just say,
the more I get
to know Mr. Meyers,

the less about
him surprises me.

So, Brandon, when do you want
to get together and do...?

The meeting. The meeting
that we're having.

Right. The meeting.

What meeting?

Uh... Well, it's
a very private meeting.

It's a guy thing.

Would you excuse us?

How's Friday?

That doesn't give you
much time to practice.

Silver, you told me
you could teach me

how to dance
in one session.

Did I say that?

Oh, my God! You're right.
He's burning up!

Okay, so I'll go home.

I'll watch some videos,
drink some chicken soup.

The only place you're
going is to the doctor's.

Brenda....
Dylan,

stop being so macho.

Now, even if you feel better
in a day or two,

I want you to finish
the whole prescription.

Thanks, Doc. I will.

Good to see you, Dylan.

And happy birthday.

Yeah, I bet you never thought
I'd make it to 18, huh?

I was afraid you wouldn't
make it to eight.

Have you been in
any more motorcycle
accidents recently?

No, but I did bruise
some ribs surfing last year.

Surfing? Where? Santa Monica?

No, no. There are no waves
there anymore.

(coughing)

Mostly, I go up to Malibu
'cause the water's cleaner.

Look, Dylan,
don't fool yourself.

You have to read the signs.

After a big rain,
you can find all sorts

of nasty bacteria
in the channel.

Oh, yeah. But, Doc, when you see
a four-foot set rolling in,

it's kind of hard
to stay out of the water.

Look, Dylan,
do yourself a favor.

Try some indoor
sports for a change.

(coughing)

DAVID:
That's it for today, kiddies.

And for those of you thinking
of cutting classes, remember,

don't do the crime
if you can't do the time.

All right. I'll tell
you what I find out.

Okay.
How you doing, man?

Doing good.
How you doing?

All right.

AP English just isn't
interesting without Meyers here.

I hope he's all right.

He's been gone
since Tuesday.

Checked on him
at home?

Nah. His machine's on
all the time.

That reminds me.
I was going to ask you.

Do you know where
4580 Malibu Coast Drive is?

Uh... yeah. It's
right by where I surf.

Why? What's up there?

That's where Gil lives.

I thought I might
stop in say hi, you know.

Oh, yeah.
That's a great place to live.

And I miss those waves.

Strep throat's gnarly stuff.
You look better though.

You know, I hate to admit it,

but antibiotics,
they work sometimes.

Well, you know, four out of
five doctors surveyed....

Hey, you guys,
I've got some bad news.

Gil Meyers is in big trouble.

What do you mean?

Well, you know how he likes

to flirt with all the girls?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Well, this time he may have
taken it too far.

I don't know all the details,

but he's been
"relieved of his duties

pending an investigation",

quote unquote.

What kind of investigation?

For "sexual misconduct
with a female student".

When'd the doc say

you could get back
in the water, man?

I don't know.

Man, looks like
a killer set coming in.

Yes, I know!

Brandon, would you look
at that water?

Have you ever seen anything
more beautiful?

I'm gonna go knock
on Meyers' door.

You gonna be all right?

Yeah, I'm just
gonna hang out.

Cool.

MEYERS:
So, the subs aren't cutting it?

Well, let's just say

these people aren't
AP English teachers.

Fourth-grade math maybe.

(chuckles):
I'm sorry about that.

I hope they find
someone,

but mid-year,
it'll be tough.

Well, you'll be
back, won't you?

I mean, how long is
this hearing gonna take?

Brandon, I'm not supposed
to talk about it.

That's all right, I'll just ask
you questions,

you can nod your head yes or no,

like in
All The President's Men

You know, Woodward
and Bernstein?

I'm gonna miss you guys a lot.

You sound like you're giving up,

like you're leaving,
but at the hearing....

Brandon, there's not gonna be
a hearing, because I am leaving.

If I go quietly

and don't fight it,
then Mrs...

the girl's mother

will drop the matter
and they'll close the books.

But why would you want
to do that?

Why do you think?

Come on, Gil, you gotta fight
this thing.

You gotta clear your name.

Brandon, I told you,
I don't wanna discuss it.

Hi.

Hi. Um, I was just writing
a note,

but I decided not to.

Do you remember me?

Uh, yeah, from the other night
at the Peach Pit.

Right, and I was also out there
in the hall

the other day.

You looked pretty upset
when you ran out of here.

You're from the newspaper,
right?

Mm-hmm.

But I'm not looking
for a story from you.

Why not?

I imagine you prefer

to keep your personal
business private.

Well, why do you care
what I prefer?

Nobody else does.

Look, Sue,

I'm involved with something
called "peer counseling."

I'm not interested.

Do you know
what it's about?

It's like having a kid
for a therapist!

No, thanks!
It's not a therapist.

It's someone you
can talk to,

someone who can understand
how you're feeling.

And how are you supposed
to understand how I feel?

Because I once
had a teacher

that I really cared for.

Someone I thought
I was falling
in love with.

And what happened?

Look, if I,
I tell you about this,

I want us to have
an understanding.

I don't want to share
my feelings with everybody,

just you.

Well, I wouldn't tell anyone.

And the same goes
for stuff you tell me,

okay?

Okay.

Good. Come on.

(doorbell rings)

Andrea, hi.
Brandon's not here.

Well, that's okay.

Actually, I came by
to talk to you.

I was hoping I could ask you
some questions.

Step into my office.

But why are you so interested
in Sue?

Is it because
of Gil Meyers?

How did you know

Sue was involved?

Well, it's all over
school by now.

I mean, you can't keep
that kind of thing

a secret for very long.

Well, you were her senior buddy.

What's the story with her?

Well, according to Donna,

the Scanlon family never really
recovered from Scott's death.

Sue's dad just kind
of checked out of
it emotionally.

And her mom
is a major control freak.

So, she's just kind
of an innocent victim

in all this.

Well, with the way that she came
on to David at the Pigskin Prom,

I don't think you can really
call her "innocent".

Brenda, get ready for this one!

You'll be interested
in this, too.

I found out who accused
Mr. Meyers: Sue Scanlon.

This is not news to you.

I'm always the last to know.

How come you're so chipper?

Well, I couldn't figure out

why a mother would just let
a sex offender walk away

unless she knew the charges
were totally bogus.

And now that we find out who
the so-called "victim" is,

it all makes sense.

Wait a minute!

What makes you think

that Sue's not telling
the truth?

Gil did not deny the
accusations, did he?

That's because he can't.

That's part
of their little deal.

Brandon, are you aware there has
never been an unfounded claim

of sexual abuse
at West Beverly High?

Well, that doesn't mean
there can never be one.

And this girl is a nut, right?

Well, let's just say
she's troubled.

You are doing

exactly what society
has done to women

for centuries;
you are blaming the victim.

She should not be on trial!

And what about being innocent
until proven guilty, huh?!

He should have the right
to confront his accuser!

Excuse me,
he does have that right

and he's just chosen
not to exercise it.

There's a difference.

That's because Mrs.
Scanlon's pressuring him!

Or maybe it's because
he's not innocent.

Have you thought of that?

Look, the only reason
that you wanna believe Gil

is because he's the guy,
and you can relate to that.

Yeah, okay, I like to think
Gil and I have a lot in common.

But what you and Sue have
in common, that is beyond me!

Yeah, I guess it is.

Good night, Brenda.

Well, I think Andrea will accept
your apology... eventually.

So, you think she's right
about Gil?

Brandon, I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure Sue is capable
of telling a few lies

here and there,

but I don't think

she would hurt Gil
for no reason.

Oh, come on, Bren,
clearly, the girl is screwed up.

(doorbell rings)

It's probably Andrea coming
back to apologize to me.

What are you doing here?

Uh, it's a guy thing.

(chuckles):
David, I completely forgot.

Oh, well, I didn't,
so, uh, let's do it.

I can't.

I've been working

really hard at school,

and, and with Meyers gone,
the paper's crazy.

It's just not a good night.

Brandon, we're going
to Kingston 12 tomorrow.

How am I supposed
to go to a club

and have a good time

when our school
is in total upheaval, huh?

Oh, please.

And here I wasted
a great alibi on Donna.

Oh, well, can't say
I didn't try.

See you guys around.

Sorry, David.

Bren, you won't tell anyone
David Silver came over

to give me dancing lessons,
will you?

Oh, on one condition.

You actually have
to go to that dance club.

Bren, I'm not....

Brandon, isn't it about time

you dropped this "I am what I am

and I can't change" lame
attitude,

and realize that you have a very
nice, very sexy girlfriend

who wants to dance with you?

In other words,
don't blow this one.

Working weekends, Zuckerman?

I just don't like leaving
any loose ends.

I just came to pick up
some of my things.

I can't believe you took
advantage of a girl

just because
she had a crush on you.

Excuse me?

I know what happened.

I know who was involved.

I saw her running out
of your classroom on Monday.

For what it's worth,
I want you to know

that I did not abuse
or make a pass at that girl.

I don't know how you define
the word "abuse".

All I know
is that she was hurt
and you were the cause.

I was trying to help her.

Do you really have
so little faith in me?

Kids just don't make up
these things.

You're not even putting up
a defense!

You're just running away.

Andrea, the reason
I'm taking that deal

is that I think
Sue is in trouble.

I don't think she can handle

a confrontational hearing
right now.

Oh, so you're just being noble?

You, you're protecting her
even though you know

your whole teaching
career is on the line?

At least if I leave
on their terms,

I might still have
a teaching career.

I know I can do
a lot of other things,

but I just happen to like
working with young people.

Maybe you like it
a little too much.

Maybe I do,
but I can live with that.

What I cannot live with
is having two suicides

on my conscience
for the rest of my life.

What do you mean?

On my first teaching job,
there was a girl...

a very troubled girl,

but she was very bright,
beautiful, an amazing girl.

She fell in love with me, but I
did what I was supposed to do.

I held the line.

I even pushed her away.

I was very clear,
and she killed herself.

Because of you?

That's what the note said.

So you see, Andrea,

I am not about to publicly
call Sue Scanlon a liar.

As long as I know the truth,
that's all that matters.

For you, but
what about for her?

I think I'm just about
the last person

that can help her right now.

If you want
to take a stab at it,

be my guest.

GIL:
Well, if it isn't
the birthday boy.

DYLAN:
Hey, how are ya?

How come you're
landlocked today?

Oh, it's my doctor.

She said that the water quality
is detrimental to my health.

It's a shame, isn't it?

Oh, man, it's a travesty.

I mean, here we have this
beautiful natural resource

and we're turning it
into a trash heap!

You sound motivated.

You know, Friends of the Bay
can always use more volunteers.

That's a good
organization.

I'll probably
check them out.

So, uh, how's it
going with you?

Ah, up and down, you know.

Listen, I, I don't even
know what happened,

and I don't usually ask
these kinds of questions,

but I was talking
to Brandon, and he told me.

I gotta tell you,
if it were me...

if I were accused
of something I didn't do,

I'd be out of here, man--
no explanations, no defense.

Nothing, I'm gone.

Thanks, Dylan.

But you know, some things
just aren't black and white.

Yeah, well, I wasn't
there, so....

I mean, if that girl
got the wrong message,

maybe it was my fault.

I don't know, man.

You can always
second-guess yourself.

You know,
hindsight's 20/20.

Maybe so.

So what are you gonna do?

(laughing)

You got any suggestions?

KELLY:
Thanks for paying for me,
Steve, but that doesn't mean

this is a date, does it?
No, no.

But it does mean you
have to dance with me.

If you insist.
Thank you.

Let's go.
Hey, hey,
hey, easy now.

We've got all night.
Anybody want a drink?

Yeah, I'll have a soda.

Not until you work up
a sweat first.

Okay, I love this song.

Hey, how you doing?

You want to dance?

I'd love to, but
I'm with someone.

No, no, it's all right.

You go ahead.
I'll sit this one out.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

You want a soda?
Yeah, thanks.

What's Brandon's problem?

Oh, he has a major
hang-up about dancing.

Really?
Is he ever going to get over it?

Well, maybe he needs
a little incentive,

if you know what I mean.

♪ ♪

Nikki, stop the bombing.
It's enough already.

Enough?
We're just getting started.

Come on, Nikki, you're making
a spectacle of yourself here.

Oh, am I having too good a time?

Is that it?
Is that the problem, Brandon?

Excuse me if I don't enjoy
watching you bump and grind

with every guy in here.

Brandon, take it easy.

I will.

You take her home.

Andrea, hi.

Hi.

My mom was really sorry
that she didn't

get to meet you
the other day.

So she wanted me to
invite you over tonight

for dinner.
Tonight?

Please?

Sure.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Say, Brandon, did you
and Nikki ever make up?

I don't believe I've made up
with you yet, Steve.

Aw, come on.

I was just trying to
get you off your rump.

Uh-huh, and who asked you?

I'll tell you what,

if you and Nikki
ever break up,

you let me know, okay?

God.

Hey, Nikki, um...

if you're willing to talk,

I just want to
tell you I'm sorry.

For what?

Telling me off, or
not dancing with me?

Both.

Look, Brandon,
I just think in
a relationship,

there's some differences
you can live with

and some you can't.

And how do you know so much
about relationships?

Because I'm a girl.

And that's what girls do.

Mm.

So do we get to kiss
and make up now?

It's not going to be
that easy.

There's still the issue:

one dances and the
other one doesn't.

What do you want
me to do, Nikki?

I have no rhythm,
end of story.

Okay.

How 'bout this?

One private dance lesson.

Your home turf.

Your favorite music.

Your favorite
dance instructor.

You give it your all
one time,

just, just one time,

and if you truly
have no rhythm,

I will never
complain again.

All right, you got a deal.

You want half my sandwich?

Oh, no thanks.

I think you've lost about
five pounds in the last week.

Yeah, well, it's called
learning the hard way.

What's the Coastal
Waters Initiative?

It's a measure on
the ballot this year.

The people down at Friends
of the Bay turned me on to it,

seeing as how I've reached
the age of majority.

You get to vote for it.
How cool.

All I gotta do is register.
I'm pretty stoked.

I'm bummed!

How incredibly unfair.

Who would've known
you had to register

30 days before
the election?

Anyone who'd read this
information pamphlet.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I'll just have to try
and cheer you up.

Better not.

Doc Littman says I might
still be contagious.

Ooh, bummer.
Yeah.

Hi.

I'm sorry.
You shouldn't come in.

What's the matter?

I know I invited you over,
but I made a mistake.

Oh, that's okay.
Don't worry about it.

Sue, what are you...?

Oh, hi, you must be Andrea.

I'm so happy to meet you.
Come in.

Henry, I'd like you
to meet someone.

This is Andrea Zookerman.

Zuckerman.

Zuckerman.

Uh, uh, this is
my brother, Henry.
Hi.

We knew a Zuckerman family
in Oklahoma City.

I believe they were mortgage
brokers, any relation?

I don't think so.

I've never been
to Oklahoma before.

Sue's spent the last five
summers in Oklahoma.

Uh, we're gonna
go upstairs.

No, you're not.

We're gonna start
eating soon.

Did you know
that Sue's friend

is the smartest girl
in West Beverly High,

and she is going
to Yale next year?

I'm not the smartest,
believe me,

and I've just applied
to Yale; I didn't get...

And she is the editor
of the school paper.

Editor-in-chief?

Is that right?

Well, actually, this year
I'm the co-editor.

Maybe Sue could do some
writing for the paper.

Well, sure,
if she'd like to.

You know, I used to write
for my high school paper.

Did you really?
Susan,

get your brothers
and sisters.

We're gonna start dinner.

Trouble was, if I didn't
have a good story,

well, I'd just make one up.

(laughs)

Ah, such a kidder.

NIKKI:
Brandon, no one will

see you.

Nobody's home.

The doors are locked.

I tell you what,
I'll even turn my back.

(music playing)

You did agree to this.
I did?

Yes, you did.

Now come on.

Come on, Brandon.
Just loosen up.

Uh, start with
the feet first.

Don't even worry
about the hands.

You follow me, Brandon.

Brandon!

That's not what
I call giving it your all.

You're not giving it
your anything.

Well, you see that music
just wasn't quite right.

Now this music
I like much better.

(ballad plays)

You want to slow dance?

Yeah, any objections?

No, not at all.

Good, 'cause I know
this one dance.

You may have heard of it.

It's called the,
uh, Brandon Waltz.

No, no, I haven't heard of it.

I guess you're gonna
have to teach me.

Can I take your plate?
Sure, honey.

Thank you.

ANDREA:
Thank you for dinner,
Mrs. Scanlon. It was great.

Oh, you'll have to come
again soon sometime

when Conrad isn't
away on business.

But thank heavens we have
Henry here filling in,

guarding the homestead.

Why don't we put on
a videotape of the ranch.

Then you can see...
You know, I don't think
she's at all interested

in our home movies, Mother.

But we have those
terrific horse shows,

and we have Scotty jumping...

I don't want to see
Scotty jumping.

Scotty is dead.

I have to apologize
for my daughter.

She hasn't been herself
since that...

nasty mess with
that disgusting teacher.

Do you have to keep
talking about it?

It seems to me
that you were the one

who talked about it first,
weren't you, Sue?

Yes, I was.

So if you started it,

well, then you ought
to finish it,

don't you think?
Henry...

I'm sorry, but I don't believe

I ever got a clear explanation
of exactly what that whole

nasty mess
was all about.

Henry, for heaven's sake.

All I've heard's a lot of talk

about how he tried
to seduce her,

tried to have
his way with her.

I want to know exactly
what's she's saying he did.

And what she did
to make him think

he could make
such advances.

What are you talking about?
Sue didn't do anything.

Is that right, Sue?

You didn't do
anything, huh?

No.

No, that's not right at all.

I was the one who tried
to seduce him.

Susan!
It's true.

I tried to kiss him,

but he wouldn't let me.

It was me!

(door slams)

So, on behalf of
the entire Blaze staff,

AP English
and everybody else here,

we know this has been
a big ordeal for you, man.

It's good to have you back.

(applause)

Thanks for the
support, you guys.

No sweat, man.

I don't think my brother
ever would've gotten over it

if you'd really left.

Then it's a good thing
I didn't have to.

I gotta go. I told Mrs. Teasley
I'd be right back.

Brandon, I just want
to say, for once,

I'm, uh, I'm glad
I was wrong.

Yeah, me, too, Chief.

So are you done
being sick now?

I think so.

Good.

Why?

You worried
about me, Kelly?

Hey, what are
friends for?

Listen. I'm... I'm sorry

I jumped to conclusions.

Don't apologize.

You gave me a lot
of food for thought.

Well, at least
you cleared your name.

Yeah, I guess.

You're thinking about Sue,
aren't you?

It's hard not to.

How's she doing?

I don't know.

Her mother's keeping her
in seclusion.

I was planning to drop
by her house later.

If you can help her, whatever
you can do, it'd be great.

(doorbell ringing)

Hi, Mrs. Scanlon.

Is, uh, Sue home?

Sue isn't seeing anyone
but family right now.

Sorry.

I just thought that
maybe you could just....

Yeah, but you're
her senior buddy.

Look, that's not gonna get me
very far in that household.

She shouldn't
be so isolated.

I mean, who knows
what she's thinking?

She's probably feeling very
guilty and depressed right now.

Well, being shut up
in that house

cannot improve
her mental health.

That has got to be one
of the spookiest families

I've ever been
in contact with.

Look, I know, but
what can we do?

(sighs)

Somebody's gotta get in there.

And I think I know someone
who has the best chance.

Who?

Don't look at me like that.

Please, Donna. We think
this is a really critical time.

Look, Sue hasn't been
in school for days,

and you know how self-
destructive she can be.

Well, what can I do?

You can be her
friend, Donna.

She probably thinks
she doesn't have any left.

Well, you don't think
she'd do anything major, do you?

Look, there's
no way to know

if she's suicidal unless we
get in there to talk to her.

But you said yourself

Mrs. Scanlon would not
let anybody in.

Only family.

Well, I'm not exactly considered
a member of the family.

No, but your
boyfriend is.

How did I let myself
get talked into this?

'Cause you care about Sue

and you know that Scott
would've wanted you
to look after her.

Well, don't you think this
calls for professional help?

Well, maybe it's not
as bad as we think.

I mean, Mrs. Scanlon sounded
thrilled to hear from you.

Yeah, well,

any time
Mrs. Scanlon's thrilled,

(doorbell ringing)
you know it's a bad sign.

David! Hi. Um...

Come on in, you guys.

My mom is gonna be

so happy you're here.

David! Oh...

You have gotten so tall now.

Somehow I still expected you
to come up just to my chin.

Yeah, I just kept on growing.

Luckily Donna
sort of leveled off.

Sue, you look good.
How are you feeling?

Fine. How are you?

Sue, go tell Uncle Henry to put
some more meat on the grill.

No, that's okay.

No, no, no, no, no.

We're having a barbecue
and you have to stay.

Well, actually,
we were just worried

because Sue wasn't in school.

Yes, well, that school.

That was the problem.

You kids are almost
finished, thank God,

but the thought
of four more years?

Sue would not have survived it.

(chopping)

You mean, you're pulling her
out of West Beverly?

Absolutely.

Well, where's
she going to go?

We're moving.

We just decided.

Conrad is looking
at houses

right now in Oklahoma
near my family.

Oklahoma?

The children need
a healthier environment.

That's all there is to it.

Imagine this:
fresh air, no traffic,

a community with
wholesome family values?

And Conrad is
on the road so much

it doesn't matter
where he's based.

Well, don't you think that's
kind of a sudden decision?

Oh, it's not gonna be easy
to leave this house, believe me.

All the happy times
that we've had here,

and you've been here to share
so many of them with us,

all the big events...
and the milestones.

Anyway, we are gonna have
a whole fresh start.

So come on out
in the backyard

because we need
to celebrate.

to make... ♪

Amy! Slow down!

♪ If it's something strong... ♪

David, what is going on?

These people act like
everything is fine and dandy.

Well, the Scanlons
love barbecues.

Um, Sue, can, can I talk
to you for a minute?

Sure.

Listen, I just,
I just wanted to make sure

everything's all right.

Well, why wouldn't it be?

Well, I just thought,

with everything you've
been going through,

you might need
someone to talk to.

Well, what do
you care?

I mean, really?

We were just worried.
That's all.

I mean, Brenda,

Andrea, even
Mr. Meyers.

Well, everything's
absolutely fine.

I mean, I have my family.

They're the ones who
really care about me.

So you can just tell
everybody else to stop worrying.

Well?

I don't think I'm

So, what's the deal
with Uncle Henry?

Well, he was Scott's
favorite uncle,

but, uh, I guess last time
when he was in Oklahoma

something happened,
because he called him a jerk

about him again.

Good job.
Come on, Amy.

You forgot to pick up
your stuff.

Uncle Henry said
I didn't have to!

Sue.

out of town,

I'm in charge,

Sue?

Hi.

I was, uh...

looking all over for you.

Well, I've
been here.

Look, before we go,

I just, I wanted
you to know

that I understand if you
don't feel like talking,

but if you change
your mind,

you can call me any time.

Or David.

And I really do mean that.

Well, what would we talk about?

Whatever you want.

Are the kids at school
talking about me?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

They're curious about
what really happened.

And of course it is
nobody's business.

I, uh...

I just keep thinking
about what Andrea said.

What did Andrea say?

She said that kids just
don't make up stories abo...

about...

well, that it
has to come

from somewhere.

Anyway....

Do you want to know
what happened?

I'll tell you
what happened.

He was kissing me

and touching me.

I don't know who started it.

It could have been me.

He said it was me.

But then I didn't want
to anymore...

and I pulled away,

but he wouldn't let me.

He wouldn't let me go.

He hurt me.

If Mr. Meyers did this to you,
why'd you take it back?

Because it wasn't Mr. Meyers.

It wasn't him at all.

It was my...

It was my uncle.

It's always been my uncle.

(laughing)

It's just not the
same city it was

when we moved here,
not by a long shot.

CHILD:
Come on, Terry!

CHILD 2s:
Yay!

Come on!

Here we go.

Mom, I need
to tell you something.

What?

You were right
after all, Andrea.

Sue didn't make it up,

but I'm sure Mrs. Scanlon
never even suspected

that her brother
was a child abuser.

Boy, he was smooth.

And now I know why
Scott didn't like the guy.

So Sue was afraid he'd start
with the little sister?

I mean, how
unbelievably awful.

Well, at least Sue
doesn't have to carry

the secret around
by herself anymore

and she can start
getting help.

DYLAN:
Hey, Bren!

Dylan!

Guess what?

Mmm.

Ah, you're not
contagious anymore.
That's right.

So did you, uh,
break the bad news to Donna?

What bad news?

Well, you know how
you were looking forward

to voting in the election?
It's too late.

It is not. It's two weeks away.

No, he means it's too late
to register to vote.

So, I guess you guys are gonna

have to sit this one out
with the rest of us.

But I registered months ago.

You did?

Donna, I never thought
you were so civic-minded.

Are you kidding?
I've been waiting

my whole life
to vote for president.

Way to go, Donna.

So then, you are familiar

with the Coastal Waters
Initiative?

The what?

Donna, allow me
to share with you

my firsthand personal experience

with the hazards of
pollution in our seas.

Excuse me.

Hey!
Hey, guys!

Hi.
Hey, Nat.

You got something for me?

Ha-ha.
Here you go.
Thank you, sir.

And don't spend it all
in one place, right?

Nikki, let's go.

Where are you guys off to?

We're gonna check out

the new dance club
on Robertson.

See you guys.

Bye.

Brandon.

In a hurry to go dancing?

Well, you see, David...
in a relationship,

you learn important things
about the other person.

For example, I have learned
how dancing makes Nikki feel.

And how is
that, Brandon?

Romantic.

Bacteria are being
poured into our oceans

and make you physically ill
to even go close to the water.

Just go.
Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Farewell.
So long.

Good nighty.
