"Is this thing on?" "Testing, testing one, two, three, four." "Testing, one, two, three, four." "Is anybody out there?" "Check, check." "Check, check." "Testing one, two, three." "Mike check for California University Mardi Gras." "Check, check, check." "Testing." "Testing one, two." "Testing one, two, three, four." "Why do they always say that?" " You got any better ideas?" " Yeah." "Testing, four, three, two, one." "Come on." "Okay." "We better get going." "Where's Steve?" "Great." "How much more of this mud do you think we need?" "Keep mixing." "If we're gonna fall in this stuff, I want a nice soft landing." "I'm telling you, we should have used chocolate pudding." "Muntz, you're always thinking about food, what's up with that?" "Hey, Steve, come on." "I gotta go, guys." " Hey, where are you going?" " The hospital." "Instruments sterile." "You should be starting to feel a little numb now from the local." "Good." "Good." "I'm gonna give you some pure oxygen." "Okay, slow deep breaths, that's it." "There might be some pressure, don't worry, just relax." "Okay, people, let's go." "Nurse?" "Okay, doctor, we're all in standby." "Andrea, the baby's doing fine, the heart looks good." "We have a pediatrician standing by." "In just a few minutes, you're gonna be a mommy." " Did she have it yet?" " No news." "Anybody else here?" " Waiting room." " You know where the bathroom is?" "Yeah, it's around the corner." " Hi." " Want some coffee?" "Does this mean we're still talking?" "Of course we're still talking." "So how long have you been here?" "Couple of hours, but I've gotta go now, though." "Where are you going?" "Kevin and I have some business at Jim Walsh's office." "You got a problem, Kel?" "Not anymore." "Brandon, what are you doing here?" "I thought you were supposed to be catching a plane to D.C." "Well, I figured Andrea was having a baby." "I'd just blow off the task force, no big deal." " Brandon." " Kelly, don't listen to him." "He's taking the redeye tonight." "I just wanted to make sure everything was all right." "Well, what if everything isn't all right?" "Hey, guess who I found wandering around the halls?" "Hey, Jesse." " So..." " So are you a dad?" "Yep, looks like I am." " Way to go, Papa." " Thanks." " Is it a boy or a girl?" " It's a girl." "It's a very tiny little girl." "Well, can we see her?" "Not for a while." "Since she's a preemie, they had to take her right into ICU." " How's Andrea doing?" " Good." "She's pretty good." "She's still out of it." " Can we see her?" " Steve, she just had a cesarean." "Well, give her our love, will you?" "I will, I sure will." "Thanks a lot for coming, you guys." "It means a lot to both of us." " Take care, man." " Yeah, thanks, man." " Bye." " See you." "Hey, bro, this is for the baby." "Special delivery right from Mardi Gras." "What's this?" "Thanks, Steve." "She'll love it." " Congratulations." " Thanks." "Wait, what's the baby's name?" "Well, that we're still negotiating." "Well, I still vote for "Brenda. "" "You would." " Bye." " See you." "Listen, Brandon, I know you've gotta leave town tonight but if you can hang around awhile, Andrea would love to see you." "Lead the way." "You know, before we go in there you should know that things with the baby are gonna be touch-and-go for the next 48 hours." " She's really small." " How small?" "Two pounds, 8 ounces." "Well, you know what they say, good things come in small packages." "Yeah, let's hope so." "You know," "I'm trying to keep my spirits up for Andrea, but, man, it's hard." "Well, you're doing a great job, man." "Thanks." "Hi, chief." " Brandon, you stayed." " Of course." "I wouldn't have missed this for the world." "You know, they won't let me see my baby yet." "Well, that's just because they're sprucing her up for you." "Jesse said she has my nose." "Cutest little nose I've ever seen." "So how are you doing?" "A little numb." "How long you gotta stay in this joint?" "As long as they let me." "I'm not gonna go home until my baby does." "Well, then, I guess I'll see you two when I get back from Washington." "Say hi to Bill and Hillary for us, would you?" "Will do." " Give them hell, Brand." " You give them hell." "Thanks." "Bye." "See you." "So if you turn to page 17 in the prospectus, you'll note that we've separated out the R  D costs from the initial startup funds." "And we purposely tried to keep the initial returns relatively conservative." "Too conservative, in my opinion." "Well, we certainly wanna err on the side of caution." "I really appreciate everything you've all done." "Anybody else here need a bathroom break?" " I do." " Excuse me." "Take your time." "Kevin, I'm not the only one in the room there that didn't fully understand what was going on, right?" "To tell you the truth it went over my head too." " I'm the one who invented the thing." " Yeah." "Hey, guys, relax, the company is behind you on this." "Well, I wish I could've paid more attention in there, but to tell you the truth, all I can think about is getting married tomorrow." " Congratulations, that's great." " Thanks." " I had better hit the head." " Hurry back." "What are you, a little anxious?" "Dylan, the people in that room represent an awful lot of investment capital." "The people in that room are gonna make me a rich man." "I thought you already were a rich man." "Well." "Well, it looks like the spring carnival has officially begun." "And already, we have our first lost child." "So if the parents of Maxine Frankel are looking for her, don't worry, she's doing just fine." "And spend that money, guys." "Remember, it's all going to the Cal Camp general fund." "We got rides, we got games, we got great food." "And on the main stage in about five minutes, we got the South Quad's own Green Tangerine." "And we've got great acts coming up all weekend long." "Going out with a bang this Sunday, live and in person, we have Babyface." "As a matter of fact, one of his people are here right now making sure that everything is just hunky-dory for the big guy." "Everything is okay, isn't it?" "So enjoy yourselves, and we'll keep you posted." "What is Ariel doing here?" "I talked to her this morning." "She's just doing her job." " Hey, guys." " Hey, Ariel." "The stage looks amazing." "Yeah, well, we aim to please." "So is everything okay?" "Yeah, great." "I stopped by to give you the guest list." "I know it's a little long, but you know how it is." "I can imagine." "Oh, and while I'm here, I was wondering if you guys had any extra parking passes." "Oh, yeah, sure, no problem." " Come on, I'll get them for you." " Great." "Good to see you again, Donna." "Same here." "Come on, Muntz, swing harder and aim." "Come on, he's lunchmeat." "Pretend he's a cupcake and ice him." "Friends, Romans, countrymen, step right up and fight the gladiator of your choice." "Oh, Muntz, you're an animal." "We gotta change the rules here, guys." "Come on, think about it, every time you get put in the mud," " some kid gets to go to camp." " Oh, you're gonna get yours, Sanders." " Believe me, you'll get yours." " I don't think so." "Who in their right mind is gonna fight me when they can pick you to fight?" " Sanders, you're up." " I am?" "Yeah, and wait till you get a look at your competition." "You remember John Sears, don't you?" "Hi, Stevie." "What did you think, Sanders?" "I'd just disappear, huh?" "You know, I used to own the KEG House till you came along." "In fact, I've never been knocked off this pole." "How about you?" "So, what are you gonna wear?" "Same thing Bill is gonna wear." "A suit and a tie." "You sure you don't want us to drive you to the airport?" "No, Mom, I think it would be easier if I just drove myself." "You know when Bill Clinton was a kid, he shook hands with President Kennedy." "Maybe this is an omen." "Lot of people shake the president's hand, Dad." "Not many of them become president." "Jim, you better go move your car." "You're blocking Brandon." " See you downstairs." " Yeah." "I don't know how I'm gonna break it to him," "I really have no interest in professional politics." "Forget it, Brandon," "I'm already making plans for your Inaugural Ball." "Well, good then, when you become a big Hollywood movie star, just make sure all your friends contribute to my campaign." "Sure, only if you invite all of us to sleep over at the White House." "Deal." "Listen, I've gotta get going." "Roy Randolph asked me to meet him before he leaves for out of town, so have a good trip." "Thanks." "Look, I just want you to know," "I think it's really great what you're doing." "Well, I appreciate that." "You know, for a sister, you're not half bad." "Well, don't you ever forget it." " Have fun." " See you." "Hey, Roy." "Oh, Brenda." "I'm glad you could come." "Well, I couldn't let you leave town without saying goodbye, now, could I?" "What are you working on?" "Oh, I'm blocking my next play." "It's a production of St. Joan." "You could audition if you'd be willing to cut off all your hair." "I would cut off all my hair for the part not the audition." "Touché." "So when are you leaving?" "I'll be back in New York the day after tomorrow." "I just wanted to say goodbye to my leading lady and to find out what she's doing this summer." " And why?" " Because there's a terrific program at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts you might wanna consider." "In London?" "Well, unless there's another Royal Academy I don't know about." "Isn't it a little late?" "I'm sure they already had their auditions by now." "If you're interested, all it would take is one transatlantic phone call." " Wow, you'd do that for me?" " You deserve it." "You're very talented, Brenda." "You have a real future as an actress if you want one." "Can I think it over?" "Don't take too long." "Classes start in two weeks." "How are you doing?" "My throat's dry." "Can you get me those ice chips over there?" "Yeah." "How'd you sleep?" " I didn't." " Why?" "Didn't the nurse give you anything?" "It didn't work." "I kept thinking about Hannah." " Do you like the name?" " It's a beautiful name." "But I think we should hold off naming the baby..." "Good morning." "Connie, hi." " I'm ready to roll when you are." " Great." "Now, go easy, girl, you're gonna be sore for the next few days." "Wait a second." "Where are you going?" "To see the baby." " Andrea..." " It's okay." "Dr. Gordon said it was fine, Jesse." "Hold on a sec." "I need to talk to my wife." " Sure." " Thanks." "Jesse, what's wrong?" "Andrea, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go there right now." "Why?" "Did something happen?" "Well, the baby had a rough night." "How rough?" "Well, she stopped breathing at one point." "Oh, my God." "They put her on a respirator and she's doing better, but they still wanna give her a blood transfusion and put her on some antibiotics." " I have to go to her." " Andrea, let's just wait." "See, I'm her mother." "I have to be with her." "Okay." "All right." "I'm Helen, your daughter's nurse." "How is she doing?" "Much better." "She's very alert." " Which one is she?" " Right here." "Oh, Jesse." "She's beautiful." "Go ahead, you can touch her." "Just put your hands through the portholes." "Hey, baby." "Hi, Hannah." "It's Mommy." "It's Mommy." "Hi, baby." "Hi, Hannah." " Chancellor." " Oh, Brandon, you made it." " Yeah." " Excuse us." "How was the flight?" "It was great." "I slept all the way in." "Good, because we've got a big day ahead of us." " Did I miss anything?" " No, we're on Washington time." " Everything starts ten minutes late." " Of course." "Well, there is one person, who'll be very glad to see you." "Who's that?" "Clare." " Brandon, what a surprise." " Don't listen to a word she says." "She must have asked the desk clerk 50 times if you'd checked in yet." "Excuse me just a minute." "I think Senator Boxer just walked in." "What are you doing here?" "Officially?" "I'm looking at eastern colleges." " But unofficially..." " Clare, listen..." "Looks like Dean Trimble's doing all right for himself." "I don't believe it." "Brandon, you've met Lucinda Nicholson, haven't you?" "Yeah, hi." "It's nice to see you again, Brandon." "You too." "What are you doing here?" "I had a meeting with the NEA about my film." "Oh, really, you're a filmmaker?" "Documentaries." "We haven't met yet, have we?" "Oh, this is Chancellor Arnold's daughter, Clare." "Nice to meet you." "Are you a student at CU?" "Not quite." "You see, Clare will be graduating from high school this June." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." "Brandon here took me to my senior prom." "Really?" "I'm sure he looked quite smashing in his tux." "I didn't wear a tux." "I wore a dark suit." " Oh, how festive." " Yes." "Well, I'm gonna get going and leave you three to get acquainted." " Okay, see you later." " See you later." "Bye, Dean." "Hold it right there, folks, let me get your picture." "Oh, good, we'll have something to remember this by." "How can I call him, Herb?" "The guy's getting married this morning." "If I do, you'll be the first to know." "All right." "How inconsiderate of Kevin to run off and get married without closing his deal first." "It would have made my life a lot easier if he and Dylan had signed on the line." "Is there a problem?" "No, no." "It's been a long time since I've put a deal together" " with this much riding on it." " Honey, it will be fine." "It always is." "Morning, governor." "Morning, Mom." "Got a spot of tea to warm up me old cockles?" "Are we rehearsing for a new play, love?" "No, more like a whole new life." "Actually, I'm thinking of going to London." " You are?" " All I need is a plane ticket." "What are we talking about here?" "Roy Randolph said that he could get me into a program at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts this summer." " You're not kidding." " No, I'm not." "Look, Mom, it's a real honor." "And I don't even have to audition." "How much is this gonna set me back?" "Nothing." "I've hardly spent any of the money that I made working for you this year and I wanna spend it on this." "If that's okay with you guys." "Look, it's only for the summer." " Why not?" " Good." "Roy has a lot of faith in me, I wouldn't wanna let him down." "Honey, we have a lot of faith in you too." "We sure do." "Let's go, babe." "Throw it, throw it." "What's up?" "What's up?" "Why don't you try throwing left-handed, Silver?" "Come on, David." "Get him." "Hey, wait, whose side are you on?" "Hey, it's for charity, okay?" "Yeah, I never did know a piano player who could throw a baseball." "That's real funny." " Why don't you try it, Donna?" " Okay." "Let a woman show you how." "He's sending in his girlfriend." "Oh, boy, he's going down." "Look at that, look at that." "Look at that muscle." "A throwing arm." "And here it is I thought you were my friend." "Hey, you get back up there, we got people waiting." "Listen, I gotta go back to the stage." "So you wanna go get a bite to eat?" "Oh, I promised Brenda and Kelly I'd meet them for a late breakfast after my shift." " All right, well, I'll see you later." " Okay." " David." " Hey." "I can't believe I found you in this madhouse." "You were looking for me?" "Yeah." "Well, what's up?" "Is everything okay for tomorrow night?" "As far as I know, Babyface will be here for soundcheck by 3:00." "Great." "So, what's up?" "Well, how about something to eat?" "One more." " Ariel." " Hey, Donna." "Hey." " Oh, you forgot these." " Oh, great." "Tell Kelly and Brenda I said hi." "I will." "So all I need to do is find a flat near the school." "Well, Knightsbridge is great, but it's expensive." "Well, then I won't be living there." "Hey, guess who's going to London this summer?" " You are?" " No, not me." "Brenda." " Now we have an excuse to visit." " Yeah." "Roy Randolph got me into a summer drama program over there." " That's great, congratulations." " Thanks." " So, what are we eating?" " I'm not hungry." "What's the matter?" "I saw Ariel eating a hot dog with David and I lost my appetite." "Who is Ariel?" "She's in the music business." "She's trying to get David into some band." "The more I see them together, I think she wants to get into his pants." "Look, you cannot be jealous of every girl that David talks to." "Really." "He loves you." "That's easy for you to say." "You guys slept with your boyfriends." "What do I have to hold him?" "Look, Donna, you cannot hold on to a guy with sex." "I'm living proof of that." "So am I." "You know, Kelly, after everything that we have been through, it looks like we're back where we started." "Eat your heart out, Dylan McKay." "Look at those two." "That lady is my wife, and that's my daughter now." "Yeah, so you better take care of the both of them." "Especially the little one." "She's my family." "Suzanne told me about your father." "What did she say?" "She said he had a big heart." "I didn't get to see that part, not until the end anyway." "Listen, I don't know if it's fate, or what, but something brought us all together." "And that's just fine with me." "Yeah." "So, Dylan, what do you think of this deal your friend Walsh is putting together for us?" "Well, I think it's a little complicated." "Limited partnerships, cross-collateralized syndication." "Did you see them in there?" "They were drooling, Dylan." "They are dying to get their hands on what we've got." "So then it's a deal." "Dylan, buddy, you're missing the point." "I don't follow." "Until I sat in that room yesterday, even I didn't know how big this thing could be." "So, what you're saying is you wanna cut them out?" "Let's just not rush into anything, okay?" "This is the most shrimp I've ever seen in my life." "And they're huge." "I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach." "I saw you two in a huddle over here." "Are you talking business on my wedding day?" "Okay, you popped me, I'm sorry." "Not another word." "Could I have one of those shrimp, please?" "Thank you." "Celeste." "Steve." " Hey, you look great." " Thanks." "You can't go on this Ferris wheel all by yourself." " It's un-American." " I'm not." " You're here with someone?" " Yeah." "Oh, cool." "A guy?" "Yes, actually, he goes to school here." "Really?" "How long you been going out?" "Only a couple of weeks." "But I'm really happy." "He's really nice and he's really tall." "And he's really good-looking, and he's really hot." "Really?" "Hi, Stevie." "Bye, Stevie." "Bye." "Wow, great lunch, huh?" "I always eat too much at these things." "Listen, guys, I'm gonna go rest up for a minute." "The time change is starting to get to me." " I'll catch you later." " Don't be too long." "We are up in a half hour." "Clare, what are you doing?" "Having a shower." "How did you get in here?" "I have my ways." "Of course you do." "Shower's over." "Hey, I haven't washed my hair yet." "Okay, fine." "Finish up, and get dressed." "Thanks, Brandon." "Your shower is much better than mine." "Clare, why aren't you dressed?" "Because I don't have to give a speech in 15 minutes." "Besides, I'm always more comfortable au naturel." "How'd you know I was even gonna be up here, anyway?" "I took a shot." "I figured you had to come up eventually." "And what if I'd come in with your father?" "Oh, I hadn't thought of that." " Listen, Clare..." " Brandon, would you just relax?" "I mean, you should be enjoying yourself." "Here you are in Washington D.C., in a great hotel, and you're about to deliver a speech that my father says is gonna blow away the room." "And then when you're finished with that you get to come back up here and be with me." "Is that so terrible?" "All right, I give up." "Good." "Go." "You're gonna be late." "Do me a favor, don't go anywhere." "You know what I'm saying, John Sears is a reptile." " You said so yourself." " No, I said he was a cockroach." "But Celeste is a big girl, and it is her life." "Do you know how many times that guy dumped me in the mud yesterday?" "Steve, would you get over it?" "We're here to see Andrea and Jesse and the baby." "I don't know if I can handle that." "I once saw this story on preemies, it grossed me out." " Steve." " I don't wanna say the wrong thing." "What do you say to them?" ""Oh, the kid is so cute." "The kid looks like Yoda. " What do you say?" "You don't say anything." "You just be a friend." "It's okay." "Everything's gonna be okay." "You keep saying it's okay." "It's not okay, all right?" "Nothing is okay." "Hi." "Hi, Kelly." "And Steve." "If it's a bad time, we could come back." "No, no, no." "Please come in, I don't know when it would be a good time." " How you doing, big guy?" " I could be better." "Yeah." "Hi, Andrea." "How is the baby doing?" "We don't know." "She's fighting, we're fighting." "I spend a lot of time yelling at doctors." "Like they really need that." "You just wanna make sure they're doing everything they can." "I wish there was something I could do." "Actually, there is." "Would you get my husband out of here?" " Andrea..." " Please, Jesse, take a walk, okay?" " Get some fresh air." " Are you sure?" "I would if I could." "Okay." "I love you." "Me you." "Oh, man, he's trying to be so strong, Kelly." "And I'm just falling apart." "What can I do?" "Wash your hair?" "Give you a foot massage?" "Come with me to see my baby." "I'd be honored." "Great." "Get me my robe." "Thank you." "It's huge and big and large." "This is so cool." "Yep, it's pretty cool." "So, what do you wanna do first?" "The bearded lady?" "The dog-faced boy?" "Everything." "Hey, hey, hey, she's a kid." "She's my sister." "Hold tight there." "There you..." "Dylan." "Hey." "It's all right, you just gotta concentrate, balance." " Hey, how was the wedding?" " Oh, it was very nice." " Looks like Erica's having great time." " Are you kidding?" "She's having the time of her life." "Look at her." "Hey, Dylan, can I try again?" "Yeah, you can go again." "I think I got a ticket or two or ten." "Come on, you can go all day." "Will you excuse us for a second?" "I'll be right back, Spider-Woman." "Let me have some." "I hate to bring up business with a mouthful of popcorn, but did Kevin say anything about the meeting?" "No, but he's probably got other things on his mind right now, you know?" "I hate to seem pushy, but I'm having a lot of pressure to close the deal." "Jim, you're talking to the wrong guy here," "Kevin's holding all the cards." "So give me a hint." "What is he waiting for?" "I don't know, maybe for his honeymoon to be over." "What do you think?" "Mom, will you, like, take Dad to the Tunnel of Love or something?" " Mellow him out." " I'm mellow, I'm mellow." "Oh, I can't believe how tiny she is." "Look at her perfect little fingers." "Isn't she adorable?" "Hi, sweetie." "Hey." " Hi, I'm Helen." " Hi." "Andrea, how do you feel?" "Oh, a little better." "Well, you're not the only one." "Your baby's breathing is stabilized and she hasn't lost any weight in the last eight hours." "Finally." "Wanna help me give her a bath?" "Really?" "Wait right here." "I'll get some warm water." "You know, you haven't even told me what her name is." "We were thinking of calling her Hannah." "It means "hope. "" " You better get your crayons, Mom." " Why?" "Look at all these other incubators." "They're all decorated." "What's the matter?" "It's Jesse." "I mean, he won't admit it, but I know he's terrified." "He couldn't even bring himself to put her name on the birth certificate." "Steve, don't hate me for saying this, but, man, I feel like I'm living in the middle of someone else's nightmare right now." "I meet a girl, we go out a couple times," "I'm crazy about her, and then boom, one second later, we're married and we have a 2 pound 6 ounce preemie upstairs." "I wanted to take Andrea around the world." "I wanted to get to know her, for God's sake." "Well, I know her." "She's a great girl." "Funny, smart, a great kisser." "You kissed my wife?" "Once, a long, long time ago." "We were cramming for our SATs." "Of course she got a 1500." "Of course." "So who does the baby look like?" "I don't know." "I guess she looks like me." "She's definitely a Vasquez." "You're lucky." "I don't know anybody that looks like me." "I'm adopted." "Well, my daughter definitely looks like me." "Wow, "my daughter. "" "I think that's the first time I've said it out loud." "Pretty heavy." "What do you say we get out of here and get some real food, huh?" "No, I should get back upstairs." "You sure?" "All right, I'll take care of this, Papa." "Thanks, Steve, you're a good man." "See you, pal." "She sure does look a lot like you." "Yep, she's definitely a Zuckerman." "How long do you think she's gonna have to stay in here?" "Oh, I don't know." "It's all a blur." "I don't wanna think about it anymore." "Let's talk about something in the real world." "How's Mardi Gras?" "How's Dylan?" "Mardi Gras is hot." "Dylan is not." " What do you mean?" " We broke up." "You what?" "I just got tired of fighting with him." "And I was always mad." "I don't think it was meant to last." "Are you okay?" "The weird thing is, I'm better than okay." "Well, what's his name?" "Remember when I went on that retreat with Brandon?" "Brandon?" "I got him to square dance." "Well, that's further than I ever got." "What else did you two do?" "Not that much." "I mean, we kissed." "There was a full moon." " It was nice." " Nice?" "It was better than nice." "Am I nuts?" "To be crazy about Brandon Walsh is not to be nuts." "Especially, if he's crazy about you." "That part I'm not so sure about." "Would you feel deserted if I skipped town for a couple of days?" "Oh, planning a visit to our nation's capitol?" "Hey, Donna." "Thanks a lot, David." " What do you mean?" " Where were you all day?" " I've been around." " Where?" "Let's see, I was at the petting zoo with Gary," "I got something to eat then I went on that ride that makes you feel like you wanna throw up." "You told me to meet you at the announcer's booth after lunch." "Well, I did." "We must have just missed each other." "I even went back again to see if I could try and find you." "Yeah, well, you obviously didn't try very hard." "Look, I'm sorry." "Do you wanna go on the Zipper?" "I can't now, I'm due back at the dunk tank in ten minutes." "Well, then I can just hang out with you." " What happened to Ariel?" " She left hours ago." "Come on, it's a carnival." "I'll buy you a root beer." "Fine." " Hey, Brandon, you were terrific." " Oh, thanks, Jake." "Thanks, guys." "I was nervous but I think they liked what we were saying." "No doubt about it." "Congratulations." "Thanks, man." "Thanks, chancellor." "Thank you, guys." "Thank you." "By the way, have you seen my errant daughter lately?" "Yeah." "Yeah, actually, I saw her earlier." "Where?" "In the hotel." "She's been so busy running around from college to college," "I haven't talked to her all day." "If you see her again, would you please make sure she knows about our dinner plans?" "Yeah, sure, absolutely." "I mean, if I see her, which I probably won't, probably." " Lucinda." " Hi." " Hello." " Great presentation, Brandon." "Thanks." "Are you staying at the hotel?" "No." "A friend is." "You know they did a famous study about how people behave in elevators." "They always stare at the numbers to avoid eye contact." "Silly me, I always look at the numbers to see what floor I'm on." "Well, our floor's up, Willis." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." " See you later, gentlemen." " Good night, gentlemen." "So, what floor is your friend staying on?" " Nine." " Nine?" "Funny, that's my floor." "Well, what a coincidence." "You know, Brandon, we never did it in an elevator." "We did it on a kitchen table, in the film editing room, in the shower a number of times, but never in an elevator." "Or your hotel room." "As I recall, we didn't end up on the best of terms, now did we?" "Brandon, there's no reason why we can't be friends." "It could be an awfully long time before our paths cross again." "What did you have in mind, Lucinda?" "We could start off with room service and take it from there." "Well, that's very tempting, but even if I wanted to, I can't." "And why not?" "Well, for one thing, I'm having dinner with the chancellor in an hour." "So that gives us an hour." "Look, Lucinda, I could make up a lot of excuses here, but the truth is, there's someone waiting for me." "There is not." "Oh, my God." "You're not kidding." "That's right, I'm not kidding." "Hi, Clare." "I think you've met Lucinda." " Hi." " Hi." "You know, you two, really ought to get to know each other better." "You have a lot in common." "Listen, it's obvious you two have plans." " I'm really sorry to intrude." " No, it's okay." "We were gonna have dinner with my father later." "Do you wanna join us?" "Yeah." "I'd love to." "You can't leave Washington without visiting the Custis-Lee mansion." "It's too bad the chancellor keeps us locked up in this hotel." "Tomorrow's open for sightseeing." "You must see the Augustus Tack exhibit at the Phillips." "Who is Augustus Tack?" "He's one of the greatest American Impressionists." "Although, he's practically unknown because his paintings are being held at the estate of his patron Duncan Phillips, and they rarely leave Washington." "What's the matter, Brandon?" "Don't you like Impressionism?" "Well, this meal's leaving a huge impression on me." " Lewis, what are you having?" " Oh, I don't know." "I think I'll try either the Chicken Dijonnaise or the Butterfly Shrimp." "Brandon?" "The shrimp sounds fabulous, sir." "Fantastic." "Actually, I was thinking of going lighter a mixed salad and the oysters on the half shell." "Not me." "I think I'm gonna go for some red meat." "So, exactly, where is the Curtis-Lee mansion, sir?" "Custis Lee." "Custis, right." "Come on, kid, nice haircut." "Next time, tell your mom to use a smaller bowl." "Oh, so close, come on, kid." "I'm begging for it here." "Come on, your little brother hit me before," "I was swimming." "There was a Girl Scout here earlier who had me in the water for hours." "Aim, just aim, will you?" "I'm begging for it here." "Excuse me." "Thanks." " Oh, he's cute." " Who is?" "He is." "What he?" "Dylan, you know what, I think I know him." "Do you wanna meet him?" " No, I can't." " Come on." "That's right, hey..." "Where are you taking her, Bren?" "Is Leslie Sumner still here?" "Yeah, she went to get some change." "Why?" "Because I have one cute little girl who wants to meet her brother." " No, I don't." " David, cover for me, okay?" "Sure." "Don't worry." "I will be very casual." "Hey, you be good." "All right, guys, now's your chance to get back at Steve for everything he's ever possibly done or will do." "Hey, have a little mercy here, okay?" "Steve, as tempting as it may be," "Dylan and I have something else in mind." "We do?" "Why are we doing this?" "Because it's a metaphor for our relationship." "What relationship?" "The one that we used to have." "The one that went round and round and we'd get to the top, and then the bottom would just drop out." "Oh, yeah." "And as fate would have it, here we are," " arriving at the top again." " It looks that way." "So, what's next, Bren?" " London." " As in England?" "As in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts." "Roy Randolph got me into the summer program over there." "I leave right after finals." "Well, you're gonna love London." "More than Paris?" "Bren, nothing can compare to Paris, except maybe the Bonsai Pipeline." " Well, I'm gonna miss you, Dylan." " Well, I'm gonna miss you too, Bren." "Leave your door unlocked." "I'll be up as soon as I can." "Why is it whenever you leave town, you lose all sense of discipline?" "Excuse me, sir?" "The food." "I haven't eaten like that in years." "Oh, you Californians, you're so health conscious." " It's appalling." " No." "Leave your door unlocked." "It will take me a sec to ditch my dad." "Maybe we all should hit the health club in the morning." " What do you say, Brandon?" " About what, sir?" "The health club, in the morning?" "The health club, right." "Good idea." "Listen, everyone, thanks for a wonderful night," "I'm sure I'll never forget it." "Excuse me, sir." "Is there any way possible I could change my room for this evening?" "Why?" "Is there a problem, sir?" "No, not yet, but I'm afraid if you don't find me somewhere else to sleep, there's gonna be." "Looking a little wet up there, aren't you, Sanders?" " You want a crack at him?" " No." "You do it for me." "Your wish is my command." " Three more balls, please." " John." "I'm hungry." "Let's go get something to eat." "Oh, come on." "Don't quit now, not while you're ahead." "Yeah, we've had our fun." "Besides, Celeste is losing interest in you." "Celeste." "You know you're hanging around with a real sleazeball." "Would you give me one sec?" "What do you think, should we wake him up?" "No, poor baby." "Let him sleep." "I think we did a pretty good job of wearing him out." "Ungatokken will do that." " Unga- what?" " Ungatokken." "It's an Eskimo word." "It means, "the more the merrier. "" "I'm surprised I've never seen that on Northern Exposure." "You probably will now." "Well, I have one thing to ask you before we wake him up." "What was all that stuff he was mumbling about how sex without love is meaningless?" "Oh, you know Brandon, he's totally sold on the myth of romantic love." "Yeah, he's still waiting for the girl of his dreams to walk through the door and sweep him off his feet." "What he doesn't realize is that the mating instinct is just that." "It's an instinct." "My instinct is we wake him up." "Wait, not like that." "You gotta use a little finesse." "Who is it?" "Room service." "Yeah, man, I didn't order any room service." " I did." " Kelly?" "Surprise." "How'd you find out what room I was in?" "Well, I have my ways." "Sir, will there be anything else?" "No, thanks, that's it." "Do I have to sign something for you?" "No, it's all been taken care of." "Thanks, Michael." "I couldn't come empty-handed." "Brandon, I don't wanna get in your way or anything." "I know that you probably have a really busy schedule today." "Oh, yeah, I have a real busy schedule today." "I have to eat breakfast with you, and then we have to go sightseeing." "Unless of course you're too tired from your journey." "No, that's what I came for." "At least part of what I came for." "You have no idea how happy I am to see you." "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that." "Wait a second, that's impossible." "He's got to be staying here." "Unless he checked out in the middle of the night." "Or switched rooms on us." "Yeah, but why would he do that?" "I think we've been had." "No, actually, we haven't." "Have you had breakfast yet?" "Hello." " Mom." " Hi, honey." "Hey, I didn't expect you guys till sometime tonight." "We didn't wanna get stuck in traffic." "You're never gonna believe what happened at the Mardi Gras." "Let me guess, you won a stuffed animal." "Nope." "I danced with a boy." "You did what?" "His name is Jeremy and he's 14, and he asked for my phone number." "An older man?" "Now we're in trouble." "Come on, you can tell me all about it while we make coffee." "I told you." "Thank you." " So how's married life treating you?" " Not bad." "One day down, the rest of my life to go." "Have you thought any more about our little business venture?" "Well, I have been thinking about it, all weekend in fact." "And it comes to this, I'm not a greedy person but I don't see any reason to cut anybody else in on the deal." "It's just not good business when we can keep it in the family." "Exactly." "And once we do get it up and running, maybe we will look around for some additional capital." "By then, we'll be coming from a position of strength." "I just wish we'd thought of it before we involved Jim Walsh." "He's not gonna take it very well." "I'll talk to him." "Oh, no, I've gotta do that I've known that guy a long time." "Look, Dylan, if this isn't exactly what you wanna do..." "I know what I'm doing." "Taking care of my family." "If you're sure." "Definitely." "Great." "What am I supposed to call him?" "Babyface?" "Mr. Baby?" "Mr. Face?" "His real name is Kenny Edmonds." "Oh, great, that makes it even harder." " Kenny, Mr. Edmonds." " Donna." "David, how well do you know their material?" "Pretty well." "Well enough to fake it for soundcheck?" " You're kidding." " No." "Their second keyboardist is a no-show." "Come on." "Jules, I'm not gonna work with this guy." "What are we gonna do about tonight?" "Kenny, this is David Silver, the guy I told you about." " David, how you doing?" " Hey." "Do you know "For the Cool in You"?" "Do you know how to play that?" "Yeah, sure." "Then why don't we just give it a try?" "Can you try right now?" " Yeah." " Come on." "It's okay." "Here we go round And round and round" "And back and forth you know" "Everybody goes through it sometime" "And that's just the way it flows" "So we go up and down and up" "And in and out the door" "Even though you know You've been through it before" "For every argument That we've experienced" "I really gotta hand it to the entertainment committee." "Having Babyface here is a major coup." "Yeah, we got lucky." "A friend of mine called in a favor." "That's the best kind of luck." "So check out the keyboard player." "Hey, how did he get up there?" "He was in the right place at the right time." "So, what are you doing tonight, man?" "Well, I'm supposed to be your emcee." "Well, look, do you know the rest of my songs?" "Yeah, I know every single song." "Cool, why don't you just not be an emcee tonight and, like, come play with us tonight?" " Yeah, sure, great, I'd love to, thanks." " Cool." " Thanks a lot, man." " All right, well, I'll see you tonight then." " I can't believe this is happening." " You were wonderful, David." "Who is that saucy vixen drooling all over David?" "Go to hell, Steve." "Jealous?" "So, what do you think of Washington, Kel?" "It's so much more beautiful than I thought it would be." "You know, President Clinton went to college here." "Your hero, huh?" "You know, I don't think I actually have any heroes." "Except maybe my father." "I mean, I like Bill, but it's not so much the president per se, as the presidency." "You know, this is gonna sound corny but when I was riding in from the airport in the cab, we passed right by the White House and we were stopped at a stoplight." "I found myself getting misty-eyed, like Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." "I loved that movie." " You've seen it?" " Yeah." "Dylan used to make me watch a lot of old movies." "I knew that name would come up sooner or later." "Do you think I'm crazy?" " Isn't everyone?" " No, I'm serious." "Dylan and I split up, and I didn't even let the dust settle before I got on a plane to come here and see you." "Well, I'm glad you're here." "It's no fun getting misty-eyed by yourself." "Well, you've always got Lucinda and Clare." "Talk about crazy." "I just can't help thinking, you and I are such good friends." "Why risk it?" "We'll always be friends." "Just friends?" " If that's what you want." " I don't know what I want." "I mean it's kind of scary." "I don't know if I should let myself feel the feelings that I'm starting to feel and think the things that I'm thinking." "What would Frank Capra do right now?" "Well, I think Frank would have the guy lean in and kiss the girl and the camera would pull back and the music would rise." "No, I don't think that's what he would do." "You don't?" "I think he would have the girl lean in and kiss the guy." "Oh, you do, do you?" "Yeah." "That's what I think." "What kind of woman's lib stuff is that?" "Hey, come on, hey." "Jesse, you can't spend all your time here." "I mean, what about finals?" "They gave me an extension." "I can't study right now." "What about Judge Meinor and the clerkship in San Francisco?" "Even if the baby surpasses all expectations, she's gonna be here for weeks." "Probably months." "I couldn't possibly leave town." "I know." "Do you think our lives will ever be normal again?" "Yeah, just a different kind of normal." "Yeah." "I'm pretty good at this scrubbing up stuff, huh?" "A little too good." "I've got a code in here." "Her blood pressure is 80 over 60 and dropping." "Quick, get the med cart." "It's on its way." "We need a resident, stat." "I feel guilty for saying this, but all I can think is thank God it's not Hannah." "This is the first time you said her name." "You've never said Hannah's name before." "Andrea, I don't wanna lose her." "Oh, it's okay." "Here we go again." "We've got to get this thing cleaned up a little bit before we take it upstairs." "Hey, this is some impressive dust." "Paris dust, Minnesota dust." "Well, it can't go to London looking like that." "Yeah, if only it could talk, right, Mom?" "So far, Brenda, this trunk has seen more miles with you than it has in my entire life." "Don't sound so melancholy." "You can go anywhere in the world you want now." "Yeah, but I don't, do I?" "You're the one who takes those risks." "That's been your personality since the minute you were born." "Mom, you're embarrassing me." "Look, it's only for the summer." "It's no big deal." "It is a big deal." "I'll get it." " Dylan." " Hey, you got a minute?" "Sure." "Come on in." "Come, sit down." "You got some good news?" " Not exactly, no." " So, what's the matter?" "Well, Kevin and I have been discussing the situation and I sort of made up my mind, well, we made up our minds that we'd like to fund the project ourselves." "What do you mean "ourselves"?" "I mean Kevin and I." "You mean Kevin's brains and your money." "Jim, we appreciate everything you've done for us, and it's really a hell of a deal, it's not what we're looking for right now." "Wait a minute, you come in here on a Sunday with a harebrained scheme like this?" " Jim." " Where the hell is Kevin?" "What are you, the millionaire messenger boy?" "Okay, I knew you'd be a little angry." "Angry?" "This is a professional embarrassment." "Yeah, I'm angry." "Listen, Dylan," "I know you may not believe this, you may not understand this right now, but you have no idea how this game is played." "What is to understand?" "Your own firm, you told me what a great investment it is." " I've seen the figures, I'm not stupid." " Yeah." "Those figures have contingencies built into them." "Big contingencies." "You don't have that kind of capital." "You don't have letters of credit." "Don't have relationships with banks." "What are you thinking about?" "I just wish you wouldn't take this all so personally." "How else am I supposed to take it?" "You sat in that room in good faith." "I brought you into this deal, Jim." "There are no guarantees, you know that." "That's my money in there, if you can't..." "Hold it right there." "Every time I give you advice you don't like, you threaten to fire me, but not this time." "This time, I'm firing you." "Excuse me?" "As of 9:00 tomorrow morning, you can walk into any bank in this town and do whatever you please with your money because you are no longer my client." "You're on your own." "Well, it's about time." "I agree." "Step right up, step right up." "Test your skill and strength against one of the KEG House gladiators." "Who's next?" "What do you say, Celeste?" "Don't you think it's time Steve took another mud bath?" "Oh, John, haven't you had enough fun?" "No." "Forget it, Sears, your money is no good here." "What are you, crazy?" "It's green like everybody else's, take it." "I can't watch this." "I know what you're doing, Sears." "You're using Celeste to get back at me." "No, actually I'm not." "I'm using Celeste because she's good in the sack." "You wanna fight?" "I paid my 5 bucks, let's go." "Five bucks ain't enough, what do you say we up the ante?" " Name your price." " Okay." " If I win, you stay away from her." " How chivalrous." "You're a regular knight in shining armor, aren't you?" "Is it a bet?" "Sure, it's a bet." "Now, what do I get if I win?" "I know, I knock you in the pit of mud and you resign from the KEG House." "What's the matter?" "I give up Celeste, you give up the KEG House." "Sounds fair to me." "Those are the stakes, Steve." "Take them or leave them." " Hey, Celeste." " Hi." "Hi." "What's the matter?" "Oh, John and Steve are about to go at it in the mud pit and I just don't share their taste for blood." "Well, how long have you been going out with John Sears?" "A couple of weeks." "He came into the store one day, and we started talking, and one thing led to the next." "So you don't really know him that well?" "No, not that well." "Well, do you mind if we fill you in on the real John Sears?" "What are you talking about?" "Come on." "How long has this been going on?" "Ten minutes at least." "Are either of you guys very shy?" "What do you mean "shy"?" "I have an idea." "Don't you think that's a little mean?" "It's perfect." "Oh, John." "Now." "Need a hand?" "For every tear you've cried" "I've cried a thousand times" "Never once did I want you to hurt inside" "I wanna thank you" "For the chill in you" "Especially for you for being so cool" "This is for the cool in you" " I said this is for the chill in you" " Cool in you" "Saxophone, come on" "Cool in you" "Cool in you, cool in you" "Cool in you" "Cool in you" "Cool in you" "You didn't tell anyone you were coming here, did you?" "Only Andrea." "She gave us her blessing." "Well, that's one down." "I'm afraid we're gonna give a lot of people a whole lot to talk about." "Unless of course this is just a lost weekend." "No." "I like being in your world, Brandon." "I wanna stay." "Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you want." "Thank you." "I can't believe that you're actually gonna meet the president of the United States tomorrow morning." "I want you to be there with me." "I wanna have you in the Rose Garden." "No, I couldn't." "What would I wear?" "You'll think of something." "There's just one problem." "What?" "Security clearance." "Hold on a sec." "What are you doing?" "Hi, Chancellor Arnold, please." "Hi, Chancellor Arnold, it's Brandon." "I hope I'm not waking you up." "Good." "Listen, I have a small problem." "Do you remember Kelly Taylor?" "Right, yeah." "Well, she's in Washington." "She wasn't sure she was gonna be able to make it, but things worked out." "Yeah, actually that's exactly why I'm calling." "Do you think we can get it done?" "Great." "Thanks." "All right, good night." "You're in." "Unless of course you've been convicted of a felony." "You haven't, have you?" " No, not yet." " Good." "Brandon, I adore you." "All right, let's wrap this thing up, last one out of here is buying." " Excuse me." " Yeah?" "Have you seen David Silver, the guy who played on the keyboards?" "Right, yeah, I saw him a couple minutes ago, he was hanging with Ariel, you know, the publicist?" "Yeah, I know." "Look, did you happen to see where he went?" "Yeah, they're either in the dressing rooms or they're out in one of the limos headed somewhere." "Bren, you don't think David would've left without me, do you?" "Donna, of course not." "I'm gonna go check the dressing rooms." " You check the limos, okay?" " Okay, I'll meet you out there." " Can I help you?" " Yeah." "Have you seen Ariel and David Silver, he played in the band?" "Oh, yeah, you came to the right place, right over there." "There." "Okay, thanks." "Sure." "David?" "Who's that?" "Oh, it's Donna." " What am I gonna do?" " I don't know, don't look at me." "David, open up." " Hi." " Hi, I was looking for you." "Well, you found me." "Well, what are doing in there?" "I'm just hanging out in the limo." "Open the door, it's locked." "Oh, okay." "David." "Hi." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." " Donna, I can explain." " There's nothing to explain." "I understand." "I understand everything." "Donna." "Donna, Donna, wait." "You and Kelly just kept telling me not to be jealous, and that I had nothing to worry about." "Yeah, nothing to worry about." "It's okay." "How could he do it?" "Oh, God, I don't even know why I'm asking that." "I know why he did it." "Donna, if you could have known that David would sleep with someone else, would that have changed your mind about sleeping with him?" "No." "I just thought we were so happy." "I thought he really loved me, Bren." "God, I was such an idiot." "I hate him." "How could he do this to me?" "I thought that he understood." "Understood what I wanted, how I felt." "I mean, the fact that he hadn't slept with anyone either made it like a special bond between us." "I mean, I guess in some ways, it's what held us together." "And now..." "I don't know, maybe I should just go out and do it too." "No." "You just want what we all want." "Someone you love who loves us back." "I don't know what I want anymore." "I mean, even if I do forgive David, it will never be the same." "He will always want what I can't give him." "You have to have the courage to stick to what you believe in." "I don't know if I can." "I don't wanna be lonely." "You won't be lonely." "You're beautiful and smart." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "And there are plenty of guys out there for you." "Virgins?" "At least a few." "Well, according to Oprah, anyway." "Thanks, Bren." "You're my best friend." "I'll always be here for you." "No, you won't." "You're going to England." "Not for another week." "Besides, by the time I'm leaving," "I'm sure you're gonna feel a lot different about all this." "I hope so." "Here." "You sleep with Mr. Pony tonight, he'll make you feel all better." "Thank you." "I love you." "I love you too." "There you go, sweetie." "That's better." "Good morning." "Big day." "Tough day." " How's she doing?" " Fine." "She gained another ounce last night." "Good girl." "I don't know how I'm gonna leave without her." "Don't worry, we'll take good care of her." "And we'll be here every day." "All day." "You're gonna have to tough some of this out on your own, Hannah." "But that's what life's all about." "Listen to your mommy." "She's very wise." "She's a strong little girl." "I have a very good feeling about her." "Oh, we have a present for you, Hannah." "Oh, Hannah, look, your very own nametag." "Your own, very long, nametag." "It's the biggest nametag in the nursery." "Jesse, I can't leave the hospital without her." "Yes, you can." "I love you, Hannah." "I love you too." "And we'll be back, okay?" "The National Student Task Force on Education has convened here in Washington this weekend to present their findings to a bipartisan congressional committee..." " Do you think we'll able to see him?" " I don't know honey." " There's a lot of people in the crowd." " There he is." "Oh, my God, I can't believe it." "Our son at the White House, about to meet the president of the United States." "I don't think any mother could be as proud as I am right now." "Except for Steven Spielberg's mom on Oscar night." "Well, okay, maybe her." "Here comes the president." "Good afternoon, please be seated." "Today, we know that a good future..." "I don't know if I'll ever have a son." "But if I don't, I tell you, Brandon will do just fine." "All our kids need competence in math and science, and advanced problem-solving." "Well, we got friends in high places now." "I don't know, Steve, anybody who donates a hundred thousand dollars to the presidential campaign fund gets to shake the president's hand." "Big difference, our boy earned it." "Yep, he sure did." "And speaking of earning, I've got an appointment at the bank." "Hey." "I could have sworn I just saw Kelly Taylor." " Where?" " On TV, in the audience." "Now, what would Kelly be doing in Washington?" "Shaking the hand of the president of the United States, something they'll remember for the rest of their lives." "Okay, if you'll both sign right here." "There you go." "Thank you very much." " That's it?" " That's it." "If you wait right here, I'll get the transfer underway." "All right." "All right." "I guess we're partners." "Hey, this calls for more than a handshake." "All right." "So you gonna head down to Orange County, take a look at that property?" "No reason to slow down now." "That's true." "So, what do you think?" "I'll go down and we'll have a look." "Oh, no, there's no need." "If it looks promising, I'll give you a call." "All right." "Give Erica a kiss for me will you?" " I'll do it." " Drive safe." "Take care." "Well?" "It's done." "Are we packed?" "Yup." "Now all we have to do is deal with Erica." "And I believe we have a little withdrawal to make." "A small one." "Donna, I don't know what else there is to say." "Well, there's nothing else to say." "So why don't you just pack your things and leave me alone?" "Look, I know this is probably the end of us." "I just hope one day you'll be able to forgive me." "Yeah, well don't count on it." "Donna, I tried to be faithful." "I've tried as hard as I could." "It was right there, right in front of me." "I couldn't say no." "Now that you've done it, you'll just have to live with that, won't you?" "Look, you may not believe me, but I really am sorry." "Just tell me one thing:" "Last night in the limousine, was that your first time?" " Donna..." " Answer me, was that your first time?" " No, it wasn't." " I didn't think so." "But only with her." "Donna, please, I'm sorry." "No, you're just sorry about one thing, and that's that you got caught." "Now get out and don't ever come back." " Donna." " Get out!" "I still don't understand why we couldn't say goodbye to Dylan." "I told you." "I said goodbye for us." "We're just gonna be gone for a week." " Then why couldn't I stay with him?" " He has finals." "Erica, look, I am really sorry." "I know this must be difficult for you to deal with, but you are gonna love Brazil." "I've been there." "It's beautiful." "It's winter." "It's beautiful in Brazil in the winter time." "And this is such a great opportunity for your mom, and for me, and for Dylan." "It's much cheaper to run a laboratory in Brazil than it is here." "And if we don't get there by tomorrow, we could lose it all." "Erica, we'll call Dylan as soon as we get there." "I don't wanna live in Brazil." "Who said anything about living in Brazil?" "Just because the lab is there, doesn't mean we have to live there." "I have to go to the bathroom." "Honey, you go to the bathroom on the plane." "I can't wait." "Go ahead and take her." " Okay." " I'll wait here." "I'm sorry, Mom." "I just didn't understand." "I know, it's okay." "Just go to the bathroom." "Everything will be fine." " Are you okay, honey?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "You don't have to wait for me." "I'm not a little girl." "Okay." "I'll be right outside, all right?" "Okay, I'll be right there." "Do you have the boarding passes?" "Yeah, yeah." " Is everything okay?" " Fine, she doesn't have a clue." "How can you say that?" "She was kicking and screaming..." "Kevin, I know what I'm doing." "I didn't spend the last eight months setting up this scam to have it fall apart on us now." "I know, I know." "You're right." "I'm just a little nervous." "Well, just relax, and thank me for making you a very rich man." "I don't know, Nat." "I don't know." "I haven't talked to Suzanne since last night but I can't believe she didn't call you." "Well, if you need help, call me and I'll come down." "No, I will." "Nat, somebody's at the door." "Okay, yeah, I'll talk to you later, bye." "Yeah?" "Hey." "Hi, Dylan." "Can I come in?" "Sure." "What's up?" "Well, I was packing my bags for London, and I realized there was something I had to do before I left." "But you don't leave for another week, Bren." "I know, but what happens in this week could change the rest of my life." "What's with all the melodrama?" "I'm sorry." "I just needed to talk to you," "I figured that you're the only person who would understand." "What?" "I was with my parents this morning watching Brandon on TV." "I saw it." "There was my brother, shaking hands with the president of the United States." "You should have seen my parents, Dylan." "There was such pride in their eyes." "I've never seen them look at me like that, ever." "Well, Bren..." "The only time I've ever felt anything close to that, was when I was onstage." "And then, it wasn't just my parents, you know, it was like a whole audience applauding me." "I want it, Dylan." "That's why I'm going to London." "I understand." "I knew you would." "You always understand me." "You believe in me, don't you?" "Yeah." "I do." "Dylan, I love you." "I've never stopped loving you, and I know now I never will." "I'll applaud you from afar." "I want more than your applause." "I won't be gone forever, Dylan." "Give me something to come back to."
