Good morning.

I can't believe this.

My first day of classes

and I look like I already
need a vacation.

No, you look great.

All you need
is some caffeine.

It'll get you going.

I need to work
on my recipe?

No, no. It's
great. Thanks.

So, what time did you
get home last night?

Oh, I think you mean
morning. 6:15.

Really? I'm surprised
I didn't hear you.

I woke up at 6:00 and
I was so excited

I couldn't get back to sleep,
so I just hopped in the shower.

I'm so excited.

It's our first
day of college.

What time is it?

8:30.

Oh, here.

I gotta go
wake up David.

Wait! While you're at it,

tell him to clean up
his mess in the kitchen.

David? Come on, wake up.

We gotta get going.

David.

Just two more
minutes.

Oh, come on. You don't
want to be late

for your first day
of classes, do you?

(grunts)
David!

Come on.
Donna...

Donna, I'm a
big boy, okay?

Don't worry,
I'll get there.

DONNA:
Isn't that Dan Rubin?

How's it going?

Fine.

So what's the hot story?

Let me guess-- panty raid
at the Alpha House?

Uh, classifieds,
actually.

I'm looking for a job.

Really? I thought Brandon was
the only working stiff

in your family.
Not anymore.

Just because I'm
in school doesn't mean

I can't get a head
start on real life.

Never too early to start
building that empire.

Right.

(door slams)

MAN:
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to

Romantic Poetry.

My name is Dr. Pettey,

and I will be
your intrepid guide

through this rich
and vibrant world

of meter, measure and meaning.

Poetry, like
life, is based

on...

(snaps fingers)

rhythm.

The heartbeat.

The pulse rate.

All based on rhythm.

In poetry, we have
iambic pentameter,

trochaic tetrameter,
dactylic hexameter,

and on and on and on.

Here we go, Bren.

(snaps fingers)

Brandon, I can't believe
this assignment.

How do they expect us
to do all this work?

Steve, it's two chapters.

It's 45 pages.
It's not a big deal.

Bro, you're
missing the point.

We're not here to just
study theory and data.

We're here to, uh...
develop our social skills,

learn to interact
with the larger world.

Yeah, you interact.
I gotta go

to the library
and get started.

You want to come with me?

I can't. Got a meeting
at the KEG house.

Planning a freshman
pool party.
That's a party
every week.

How you gonna
keep up that pace?

Hey, it's a tough life,
but someone's gotta do it.

Hey, Bren.
Brenda,
how's it going?

Hey. It's going.

Any luck here
on the job board?

Actually, I'm heading
over to Maxwell's.

Celeste said that there's
an opening there, so...

It's my best lead.

Actually, it's
my only lead.

Well, good luck.

Thanks. Bye.
Bye, Bren.

Brandon, I don't think
it's such a good idea

that Brenda works
at Maxwell's.

I thought Celeste
liked working there.

She does, but the
thing is, uh...

I'm gonna break
up with her.

Why would you break up
with Celeste, man?

She's a gorgeous girl.

She's a great chick.

You guys had a great
summer together.

What's the problem?
I know, but...

look around, Brandon--
I don't think this is

a time for us
to be tied down.

So when you gonna
lay this on her?

I'm gonna tell
her tonight.

Does she have any
idea it's coming?

Probably not.

Well, go easy on her, man.

Hey, I'm a sensitive guy.

What's that?

They're 100% cotton,

and the shipment just
came in last week.

Why don't you pick one out
in your size and try it on?

I'll be right back.

Hey.
Hey.

How'd it go?

Trey's really nice, isn't he?

Yeah, he's a great guy.

What happened?

Nothing. I mean,
I think he liked me,

but it's just,
the interview ended

and he put my application on
a pile with all the others.

There's a ton of people
who want this job.

Don't worry. I'll put in
a good word for you.

Thanks. I
appreciate your help.
Okay.

I should get back
to my customer,

but I'll let you know
if I hear anything.

Okay, so I'll see you
at the pool party
tomorrow, right?

Pool party?

Yeah, on campus,
for the freshmen.

Didn't Steve tell you?

No.

Well, I'm sure it
just slipped his mind.

Yeah.

Bye.
Bye.

(loud music playing)

Where's
the barbecue sauce?

I forgot to bring it out.

I'll get it.

Can you tell him to turn
that down, please?

♪ ♪

Donna, what do you
think about a segue

from Front 242
to Porno for Pyros?

Great.

Oh, wait. I want you
to hear something.

Hold on.

♪ ♪

Hold on.

What do you think?

Whatever you want.

Donna, we're supposed
to be doing this together.

How come you never help me
with any of our playlists?

(sighs)

David, I'm sorry.

I just can't
take it anymore.

I'm not a night person,

and lately, I'm not
a day person either.

The show is
driving me crazy.

It'll get better.

You'll see. We just have
to prove ourselves.

I can't.
Donna,

as soon as Howard sees
that he can count on us,

he'll give us a day shift.

Look, David, maybe things
come easier for you,

but with all this reading,
I'm gonna fall behind.

Well, can you
just hang in there?

I don't know.

So, what do you
want to do?

I'm gonna go
see Howard tomorrow

and I'm gonna quit.

Donna, he hired us as a team.

I'm sorry, David.

So what are
you saying?

You can't hack it,
so the hell with me?

No!

Well, that's what
it sounds like.

Well, that's not what I'm doing.

Whatever.

David, don't be angry.

Look, I'll do the show
with you tonight,

but that's the last one.

Listen, don't do me
any favors, okay?

Kelly?

John.

How did you
know where I live?

I'm psychic.

I hope you don't mind.

I followed you home.

You followed me?

It's the only way
I could figure out

how to find you.

I wanted to give you these.

They're beautiful.

Thank you. But I thought
I told you at the party

I already have a boyfriend.

Yeah, Dylan.

See what a good memory I have?

Very impressive.

Look, Kelly, I want
you to know that...

I respect the fact that
you're in a relationship.

Good.

But I also

want you to know
that I don't give up easily,

especially when it's worth it.

So...

I hope this
has cleared up

any misunderstandings
that we've had.

I'll see you girls later.

Beautiful flowers.

Yeah, they are.

You know, it's funny

when I think about
how we first met.

You and Brandon fighting over
me on some silly game show.

I remember how I really
wanted that date.

Just didn't give much thought
to settling down though.

It's funny

how things turn out.

I guess it really was
"love at first sight".

Sometimes I think, uh,

well, sometimes I think
I'm not that type.

You know, we don't have to go to
that movie if you don't want to.

Were we gonna go to a movie?

We can do anything you want.

Anything?

So I looked it up on the
microfilm, and there it was.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

right on the front page
of the New York Times.

You should have seen what
they wrote about him.

You would have thought
the guy had held up traffic

on the Cumberland Trail
just to get his beard trimmed.

Hey, Bren.
Brenda.

Dinner is
almost ready.

I am too tired to chew.

How'd it go?

Four jobs on the Westside.

Either they were all taken, or
they wanted somebody full-time,

or they obviously just hated
me on sight.

Don't be so hard
on yourself.

I even started getting depressed
about the jobs I didn't want.

Well, what
about Maxwell's?

They offered me
a charge account.

Did you take it?

Look, honey,
don't worry.

You'll find something.

You know what I really hate?

It takes just as
much work to find a job

and you don't even
get paid for it.

Uh, have you talked
to Nat, yet, Laverne?

Come on, I do not want
to be a singing waitress.

Well, what do
you want?

I don't know.

I just keep on worrying that
we're gonna get finished

with all this education

and there's still not gonna
be any jobs left for us.

I felt the same way
when I was in college,

and, hey, look at me.

You just have
to have patience.

Thanks, Dad.

Brenda...

how would you
like to work for me?

I want a real job.

This is a real job.
We're short on office help.

She'll work cheap.

No, thanks.
I want to do it on my own.

Andrea, this assignment
is impossible.

I cannot write my life
story in ten sentences.

Well, you heard
what Rubin wants.

He just wants us
to select a detail

that gives a sense
of who we are.

Great.

I'll write ten sentences
on the bags under my eyes.

I think he wants something
like a decision we made

or some important event in our
life that's helped to shape us.

Like last year when all the
students stood up for you

so you could graduate.

Now that would be something
great to write about.

Andrea, do you think
I'm selfish?

You? Selfish? Please.

You are one of the most
unselfish people I've ever met.

I told David I was quitting
the radio show last night.

I know--
they hired us as a team,

and that's a really terrible
thing to do to him, right?

Depends why you're quitting.

I'm just so tired,
I'm walking into walls.

David's sleeping all the time.

He doesn't even go to classes.

And then he makes me feel like
I'm being a wimp

for not being able
to keep up with him.

Well, the one thing I learned

from my short stint
on the campus paper

was that these people really
take what they do seriously.

So, if you want to make it,
you're gonna have to commit.

I just don't know if
I want it that much.

Not like David.

That's what you have to go on.

(knocking)

Hi, uh, I'm going down
to get a soda.

Can I bring you
back anything?

No, nothing for
me, thanks.

Uh, root beer, please.

One root beer coming up.

He is so cute.

Donna, he's a teacher.

Oh, excuse me.

Like that's ever
stopped you before.

Well, you went out with
the drama teacher.

And you were always
flirting with Mr. Meyers.

I was not.

And that was
just in high school.

That was ancient history.

Oh, face it, Andrea,
you like older men.

Look who's here.

The most beautiful girl
in the freshman class.

Hello, John.

Hello, dear.
What's happening?

I'm just waiting
for my boyfriend.

If you were my girlfriend,

I wouldn't keep you
waiting for anything.

No, I bet you wouldn't.
So, am I going to
see you later

at the Freshman Pool Party?

Since when are you a freshman?

You know I don't think they're
going to be checking for ID's

at this
thing, Kelly.
I think so.

KELLY:
Here comes Dylan.

I'm only leaving so I don't
have to share you with anyone.

Good-bye.

Kel, it's unbelievable.
What?

Do you have any idea
who's on campus today?

Who?

Emil Brewster.

Who?
Emil Brewster.

You know, the guy who wrote

the biography on Kerouac
that I've been reading.

Oh, sure.

And here it is,
it's very amazing.

I mean Jack Kerouac was
the rebel role model

for an entire generation and he
ended up living with his mother.

Some role model.

So what time is the lecture?

Uh, I think 4:00.

Well, I was sort of hoping
that you'd go to the pool party.

Yeah, right.

The Brady Bunch goes
to college.

Come on, Dylan,
I really want to go.

So, go Kel-- you don't
need my permission.

But I wanted us
to go together.

I mean, everybody will
be there. It'll be fun.

Look, Kel, you go
to the pool party,

I'll go to the lecture
and we'll meet up after.

You can be so
selfish sometimes.

This is like France all
over again, isn't it?

You wrapped up in your
little world, leaving
me out in the cold.

No, this isn't like France.
All your friends are here.

Fine. I will go with
David and Donna.

My point exactly.

You just don't care, do you?

About what?

You know what,
don't worry about it.

Don't worry about me,
don't worry about us.

As far as I'm concerned,

you don't have to worry
about anything.

So, how'd she take it, man?

Celeste is a great girl.

I tried to tell you that.

I used the old
Sanders finesse.

Handled it with kid gloves.

Hi, Steve.

Leslie, how you doing?

Hi, Leslie.

So, am I going to see you
at the pool party?

Leslie, you're no freshman.

No, I'm the Greek Council
Hospitality Rep.

Oh, well, don't forget
to be hospitable to me.

Always.

Oh, God.

How could I say that?

What're you worried about?
You're a free man.

Not quite.

Not only did I not break up
with Celeste--

I invited her to the pool party.

Steve, I thought you were going
to break up with her.

I tried.

You know, you're right, Steve.

You are a hell
of a sensitive guy.

Hi. Do you have a minute?

Come on in.

I warned you about this
from the very beginning.

Maybe I should
come back later.

How could you do
this to me?

Do you know what time it is?

What's on your mind?

I wanted to talk to you
about the radio show

I'm doing with David Silver.

Fine, then don't. Good-bye.

Oh, uh, about
the radio show...

I just really wanted to thank
you for the opportunity,

but now that my
classes have started,

everything has... well,
it's kind of changed

and I mean everything's
a lot more demanding.

What's going on?

My afternoon shift
didn't show up.

I need someone to fill in,
and you're someone.

Oh, but I wanted to talk
to you about the radio show.

Oh, you guys are
doing a great job.

Keep up the good work.

You're on in three seconds.

Hi. Good afternoon.

Uh, this is KXCU,
I'm Donna....

A freshman...
pretty confused freshman.

Still figuring out
what's going on,

still trying to juggle
everything around.

Classes, my first apartment...

getting my homework done
without a study hall.

Whoa, now that's a tough one.

And my, my English teacher,
my English teacher expects me

to write my life story
in ten sentences.

I mean, maybe
I'm missing something here,

but who has a life like that?

I mean, just figuring out what
to wear in the morning

that takes 20 sentences,
gosh at least.

Hey, Bren, any luck
on the job front?

I don't know, somehow
I don't see my future
staring back at me.

Look at this part-time
fortune teller at...

BOTH:
Madame Zorina's!

Very funny guys.

Oh, my God!

What is it?

Production Assistant for
Famous Television Producer.

Well, that sounds right
up your alley.

Here goes nothing.

BRENDA:
Well, as soon as
I saw the listing,

I knew it would be
the perfect job for me.

Because I want to be
an actress.

And I figured this would be
the perfect entree.

Not that I wouldn't take my
responsibilities seriously.

I mean, I would make a great
production assistant for you.

Oh, my God, you did
Love on a Drawbridge?

That was my favorite show.

I never missed a single episode.

Me neither.

(chuckles)

I don't know how you
kept on coming up

with such
ingenious stories.

Especially since they were
always stuck on that drawbridge.

But even though it
happened every week,

it was, so unexpected.

And this is where
you would work.

This is a nursery school.

A day care center.

I was the first producer to
provide one for my employees.

I thought you wanted
a production assistant.

You would be a
babysitter/production assistant.

A hyphenate.

This could lead to bigger

and better things, you know.

What, like Executive Babysitter?

(laughing)

And that was "Walking In My
Shoes" by Depeche Mode.

Speaking of which, it looks like

it's time for me to be
walking on out of here.

But before I go,
here's one last request.

And this one is from
Regina in Drake Hall.

(music plays)

Thank you,
thank you,
thank you.

You were beautiful.

I was?
You'd better believe it.

From now, on this
is your shift.

Oh, this is great!

David is going to be
so excited!

He's been so frustrated
with the night shift.

Yeah, well, unfortunately

I can't bring David
along with you.

But we're a team.

I still need him on
the 2:00-to-6:00.

But he's my boyfriend.

That's your problem.

You did great, Donna.

Thank you so much.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Keep up the good work.

You know, I've been thinking
about what you said last night.

Dad, I didn't mean
to blow you off like that.

No, no, no, no, no,
I respect you for it.

No matter how bad
things get, that tough,

independent spirit of yours

is probably gonna
see you through.

And despite the fact
that half the time

I want to wring your neck...

I'm very proud of you.

So I guess I would look
like a complete jerk

if I asked you whether
the job offer still stands.

Well, the job is yours
if you want it.

In fact, you can
start right now.

Thanks, Dad.

I will work so hard

and nobody will think of me
as the boss's daughter.

Well, you're hired.

The first thing I need you
to do, as a matter of fact,

is deliver these
to Chris Charvat at her office.

The address is on the label.

They're very important
for a business deal
she's putting together,

and she has to get these
by 9:00 tonight.

Okay, no problem.

I just want to stop
by the campus

for this freshman social thing.
I mean, it's no big deal.

I just want
to put in an appearance.

That's fine.
She'll be working late.

Just make sure
you get to her by 9:00.

Thanks, boss.
Mm-hmm.

Ooh, I love this job.

(music playing)

All right, gentlemen,
here we go.

Whoo!

Hey, Celeste.

Hey. This is amazing.

God, if they had a setup
like this at my J.C.,

I never would have dropped out.

How do you
want your burger?

Not yet, thanks.
I'll wait for Steve.
Okay.

Making friends wherever he goes.

Well, you know Steve;
Mr. Congeniality.

Yeah.

Listen, Celeste,
if you're gonna

keep getting jealous,
Steve's gonna drive you crazy.

You know how he is.

I know.

What the hell?

Hi, honey.

I was wondering

when you were going to get here.

Oh, I can see
how lonely you are.

Celeste, where
are you going?!

Hey...

so where's your boyfriend?

He couldn't make it.

Oh, that's too bad.

You are terrible.

The worst.
Do you want a drink?

Hi.
Hi. Oh, David.

These are two of my new sorority
sisters, Deborah and Jennifer.

This is my one
and only, David Silver.

Hi.
Hi, David.

Wait a minute.

Am I hearing an echo
or something?

Were you on the radio
this afternoon?

Yeah, was that you?

Uh-huh.

I didn't know you had
your own radio show.

Neither did I.

Oh, she was
so great.

Like the way you
handled those requests.

Like that guy who
called in for Megadeth?

Oh, and that bit that
you did about having

to clean up for your

roommates was hysterical.
Yeah, really.

God, it sounds like you're
living with a bunch of slobs.

(both laugh)

Uh, excuse us for one second.

Uh, look, David,
I, I never called you a slob.

I don't care
about that.

I thought you said
you were gonna quit.

I was.

Then how'd you get on
the air again?

The deejay that was supposed
to be there never showed up,

and before I knew
what was happening,

Howard had me in the booth
on the air.

So does that mean
we get the day shift?

I don't know how to break this
to you, but it... it's not we.

It's more like me.

What?

I thought we were a team.

I tried to tell Howard that.

Well, obviously you
didn't try hard enough.

David, I didn't do that
to you on purpose.

Then why'd you do it at all?

Do you really think
I'm that selfish?

DEEJAY:
All right, listen up, everybody.
In 15 minutes, we'll be starting

the dance contest,
so choose your partners

and listen
for the next announcement.

Come on. Let's go dance.

No, I'm not in the mood.

David.

Listen, why don't you go dance
by yourself, all right?

I mean, that's what you want
anyway, isn't it?

KELLY:
Wait. Tomato?

JOHN:
Tomatoes.

Oh, wow,
you really know how

to work a hot dog--
look at this.

KELLY:
Tomato.

Yeah, tomato.

Haven't you ever had tomato
on your hot dog?

I am now.
(chuckles)

Hi.

Dylan, hi.

Do you remember John Sears
from West Beverly?

Not really.

Nice to meet you.

Kelly and I were
just talking about you.

And here I am.

Well, it's nice to see you.

So, tell me, which frat house
are you gonna pledge to?

Crack House.

Great.

I'll see you guys later.

We could have
a fight right now,

but that's not why
you came, is it?

No, the only reason I'm here
is to be with you.

Well, I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad, too. Come on.

Andrea, what are you doing?

Oh, I'm working on my
essay for your class.

I can't quite get these
transitions right.

Why aren't you
at the pool party?

I wouldn't be able
to enjoy myself

knowing I had work to do.

Andrea, the essay can wait.

It's not that important.

Save... and exit.

Go!

Go!

Wait! (laughs)

All right, I'm going,
I'm going!

Oh, my God, turn, turn!

Excuse me,
excuse me, guys.

You want to get
something to drink?

No, thanks.

I'm sorry I got so carried away
over there.

You know how it is.

It's my pledge buddies.
They're a great bunch of guys.

I'm glad you came.

MAN:
Hey, Sanders.

Get over here.

Wait till you see
what Ronson's got.

I'll be right back.

Oh, Brenda, I'm desperate,
you got to help me.

David's really upset.

What happened?

DEEJAY:
Okay, listen up, everybody.
Listen up.

As promised, it's time
for the dance contest.

Now, best frosh dancers win
straight A's for two semesters

or a $25 gift certificate
to Poncho's Pizza.

It's your choice.

Come on.
What do you say?

What?
Come on.

That?
Yeah.

Oh, no way.
You're lucky I'm even here.

Don't push it.
You want a soda?

All right.

Come on.

Hi.
Hi.

What's your major?

I'm Brenda Walsh.

I'm studying pre-law,
premed and premenstrual.

I'm not really sure which one.

David, come on.

I thought that you'd be
the first one out there.

You ever been stabbed
in the back

by somebody you trusted?

Yeah, I'm an old hand at that.

Well, this looks
like a pretty dead crowd.

What do you say

we go show these college
types how it's done?

this way out of proportion.

Why don't you just give me
a chance to explain?

Celeste!

(tires screech)

♪ ♪

Ow!

DEEJAY:
Having a good time now.

DEEJAY:
Sorry, guys, get off the floor.

DEEJAY:
Getting down to the wire.
Who's gonna make it?

Come on...

(deejay continues indistinctly)

All right...

You're gone.
Sorry, guys.

Come on. Get them.

(crowd cheering)

Okay, we have a lot
of incredible dancers here.

But the winners,

the winners of the freshman
dance contest are...

Brenda Walsh.

And David Silver.

Okay, how 'bout
a big round of applause

for Brenda and David!

Oh-ho-ho!

DYLAN:
Have a nice swim.

(screams):
No...!

Everybody in the pool!

Threw me in the pool.

Yes...

Admit it, you had
a great time.

Yeah, don't ever
make me do this again.

(squeals):
No!

Ready to go.

Listen, Donna, I'm sorry
I acted like such an idiot.

I mean, I know you'd never
do anything to hurt me.

And there I was,
letting my ego keep you

from getting
what you deserve.

We both deserve it.

And we'll both get it.

Being on the radio
in high school changed me.

I mean, somehow I went from
geek to celebrity.

I guess what really
freaked me out is that

maybe I couldn't do it
on my own.

I'd just go back to being
the same old nerdy David Silver.

David, you taught me
everything I know.

You were great before me
and you'll do great now.

Thanks.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go find Brenda.

Did you see that
huge guy dancing?

You know, the one
with the redhead?

I mean, he was
incredible.

He must have weighed
like, 300 pounds.

But, seriously, he had some
moves, he was amazing.

What about the guy
in the yellow shirt?

Now I thought for sure
he was going to win.

He had some moves.

Well, you guys,

I had a tremendous amount
of fun, as usual.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

I forgot to deliver
my father's contract.

Oh, I really blew it.

I gotta get out of here.
Bye.

I should've just
told Leslie to take a hike.

Steve, you were avoiding
Celeste all day.

I was not, I was hanging out
with my friends.

And what is Celeste,
your enemy?
No, she's...

Or maybe you just can't deal
with the idea

of her breaking up with you?

All right, I screwed up.
Now what am I going to do?

Well, in situations like this,

there only is
one thing ever to do.

What's that?

Beg.

That's not gonna work.

I mean, this
girl is really

pissed off at me and she's got
every right to be.

I think I'm falling
in love with her.

I haven't felt this way
about a girl since Kelly.

Then why do you act
the way you do?

Sometimes I follow my heart
and everything's okay.

Then Mr. Green Jeans
has his own ideas.

You know, I bet
if you went to Celeste

and just admitted to her
that you were a horse's ass,

she might forgive you.

Admit that you're a horse's ass.

I don't think it's gonna work.

Everyone's allowed
to make a mistake.

Hi, guys.

Hey, Bren.

Hey, Brenda.
Hey.

Hi, Dad.

What's wrong, Brenda?

Well, I got to the office,
just like you said,

but, uh, she wasn't there.

Did you leave the contracts
with her assistant?

Well, her assistant
wasn't there either.

Actually,
the building was closed.

What time did you get there?

9:00?

Didn't I tell you
how important

those contracts are?

Didn't I tell you she
has to get them tonight?

Well, can't we have them
delivered to her home?

She's already left
for New York.

(sighs heavily):
I don't know what
we're going to do here.

How about faxing them?

That's not the point.

I gave you one responsibility.

Dad, I'm sorry.

"Sorry" isn't going to cut it.

Dad, please,
I know that I screwed up.

But from now on,
I promise

I'll be more careful.

Look, Dad, please,
give me a second chance.

Don't fire me.

Everyone's allowed
to make a mistake.

(Brandon clears throat)

(coughs)

You're not fired.

Thanks, Dad.

Thank your brother.

Donna, you don't have
to keep me company.

I'm okay, really.
Well, I'm going to
be up half the night

writing my essay anyway.

So I might as well
be with you.

David...

Oh, Donna, hey, great,

this saves me
a phone call.

Wow, you're here late,
aren't you?

Uh, listen, I won't be
needing you to come in

in the afternoons
after all.

Uh, the deejay

that didn't show
changed her mind.

What?

And since she's
my girlfriend...

Your girlfriend?
Yeah.

Well, you two know
how tough it is

mixing business
with pleasure.

Anyway, Sally
and I broke up.

And we've worked it out.

So I guess she'll be
getting her old slot back.

Uh, so keep up
the good work.

You know, Donna,
there's still an open chair

here on the night shift.

No, I think I've had quite
enough of this for a while.

Thank you.

Celeste.

Celeste, I came to apologize.

Come on, don't run away.

Cel...

Celeste!

I'm really sorry
for how I acted.

I guess I'm sort of
adjusting to college.

It's like a period
of transition for me.

New friends, new life.

Cel, that is not
how I meant it.

Steve, I accept
your apology.

Cel...

Celeste...

I'm really sorry.

I acted like a jerk,
I know that.

What can I say?

I was trying
to score points.

I was busy trying to be

the big man on campus.

Everything you
accused me of was true.

I wish there was some way
I could undo it.

You really hurt me.

I promise
I'll never do it again.

You do, and you'll never
score another point.

Does this mean
I can still see you?

Oh, baby.

"Being accepted by Yale
was probably the honor

"of which I was most proud.

"However the responsibilities
of money and family

"could not have been ignored.

"In conclusion, I have learned
that what sometimes appears

"to be the most attractive
alternative

is not always
the most appropriate one."

Any comments?

Well, it's obvious this student
is very bright

and she's worked very hard.

But it doesn't sound like a
human being wrote this, does it?

I want your writing
to sound like you,

not what you think
good writing should be.

Here's another essay.

See if you can hear
the difference. Donna.

Yes?

I want you to read
your essay for the class.

Class, this
is Donna Martin.

Hi.

"My first walking shoes are
bronzed in my father's office.

"Sometimes I think that's how
he wants to remember me.

"When I first
started school,

"my mother bought me a pair of
black patent leather Mary Janes.

"The other kids
were all wearing bucks,

"but my mother insisted that
my Mary Janes were prettier.

"Finally, when I was
in the fifth grade,

"I talked her into
letting me have a pair

"of high purple
suede boots.

"She said they made me look
precocious, but I loved them.

"In junior high I bought
a pair of Doc Martens.

"My father, who's a doctor,
thought I was making fun of him.

And after a big fight,
they stayed in the closet."

So, you think
my writing stinks, huh?

Not at all.

Look, the point
of the assignment

was to let me know
who you are.

Well, I, uh, I wrote about
a very difficult decision.

Yes, and you
made it seem like

the easiest thing
in the world.

You hid behind
your intelligence

and never revealed what
goes on inside of you,

what makes you unique.

I just... I didn't want
to make a fool of myself.

Well, I guess that's the
chance you have to take.

But until you're
willing to risk it,

you're never
going to know

who you are.

You're never going to grow.

You'll always be
Andrea Zuckerman,

West Beverly valedictorian.

Smart girl,

but... who the hell is she?

So, how are your table manners?

My what?

Would I be embarrassed
going out to dinner with you?

No.

My table manners
are one of my best qualities.

Good.

Then I'll see you tonight, okay?

Okay.

Great.

(doorbell rings)

DONNA:
I'll get it, Kelly.

So, what is it today?

Introduction to Psychology.

What are you doing here?

You know what
I'm doing here.

And don't say
any more about Dylan.

You keep telling me
you have a boyfriend,

but you never
tell me to go away

and you never tell me
to leave you alone.

Yes, I do.

Maybe you think you do.

Just give me
one chance, Kelly.

Please leave me alone.
