Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s05e12 Episode Script
Rock of Ages
The French Revolution is synonymous with chaos in government.
Rebel women knitted while watching the heads of the old guard plop into the baskets that were placed at the foot of Monsieur Guillotine.
An atmosphere of absurdity reigned.
One Brandon? Not me, Mom.
I was a butcher cutting up meat -My hands were bloody -Rolling Stones, Dad? -I'm dying on my feet -What has gotten into you? l gotta tell you, they still do it to me.
What's in the sack, Jack? Just a little show of gratitude from a satisfied client.
He's a merchandising honcho with the Voodoo Lounge tour.
Grab what you want, chief.
Give the rest to your friends.
Somehow, l can't see Kelly wearing that.
Give her a CD, then.
Take what you want, but leave the Let it Bleed album for me.
And my chick.
Oh, you're bad.
Dad, uh, this stuff's great and everything, but, uh, how about some tickets? They're playing at the Rose Bowl.
Well, truthfully, l'd rather listen to them in the privacy of my home.
l'm not talking about you, Dad.
Oh, you want to go to the concert.
l thought you were worried about midterms.
Well, l'm worried about a lot of things, Dad, but a couple tickets to the Rolling Stones may alleviate some of my pain if you know what l'm saying? Yeah, well, l'll see what l can do.
But they might be sold out.
Really? l can't believe that after all these years people are still excited about the Rolling Stones.
You got me running I was a butcher cutting up meat My hands are bloody I'm dying on my feet Feeling bad, i guess i lost my spring i was a boxer who can't get in the ring Hey, hey, you got me rocking Hey, hey, there ain't no stopping me Hey, hey Hi, Kel.
Hi.
Hey, l know that girl! No, don't look at them.
l just spent the last hour going over every little imperfection.
What're you talking about? You look great.
That's what everyone at the magazine says.
Maybe that's why l'm so nervous.
What's in the bag? Rolling Stones T-shirts.
One for you if you'd like.
No.
l'm still trying to adjust to the fact that l've got to go to their show tonight.
You're going to the concert? Yeah, the magazine editor wants me to go hang out in the VlP lounge, have a photo-op with a Stone or two.
And you're not excited? Brandon, l would be, but l've got a midterm in Abnormal Psychology tomorrow.
Well, if you would like me to go in your place, all you have to do is say the word.
l would, thanks, but l just don't think that they'd consider you for the cover of the swimsuit edition.
That's only because they've never seen me in a thong.
So, you really want to go? Absolutely, it would help take my mind off this whole CRB thing.
What's a CRB? The Constitutional Review Board.
l just got word they're gonna meet on Friday night to decide whether or not l have the right to be president.
l wish you didn't have to go through this.
lt had to happen sometime.
l don't get it.
Why does Alex Diaz have it in for you? Because l'm the president and he's not.
Hmm.
So going to the Stones' concert would be the only thing that would get your mind off of him? Well, l can think of a few other things.
Like what? Well Mmm, that? All right, stand by.
This is C.
U.
Later Entertainment News, take one.
Wow, l'm excited, David.
ln the concert spotlight tonight is the Rolling Stones' big Voodoo Lounge show at the Rose Bowl.
That's right, Clare.
lt's sold out, so even if you wanted to get tickets for tonight, you couldn't.
Yeah, like l'd really want to watch an irrelevant band of Dinosaurs? Yeah.
Yeah.
Guys, can you read the copy that's given? This is news, not commentary.
Sure.
Sorry, look, just give us a second, all right? We have a couple rewrites we're gonna do.
Great.
Bored yet? No.
But they are so wrong.
About what? The Stones.
l mean, they are rock and roll.
You've got to give the masters some respect.
Well, l don't know their stuff that well.
Believe me, l do.
My mother took me to my first concert when l was six.
l've caught every one of their tours since.
And ''Wild Horses'' was probably the first song l ever sang.
lt's a beautiful ballad.
l'd like to hear you do it.
l got a better idea.
You should hear Mick do it, live.
What? What's going on? l think you're looking at the guy who's going to take you to your first Rolling Stones concert.
Kelly, have you seen Brandon? Yeah, he should be here in a minute.
Good.
-Come, sit down.
-Thanks.
You should see these proofs.
They're beautiful.
Can we please talk about something other than me? How are your midterms going? Ask me at the end of the week.
Yeah, me, too.
l've got a Genetics professor who likes to test you on stuff you haven't studied.
Yeah, l think Brandon will be relieved when his World History is over.
Brandon will be relieved when he finds out that Jim got two free tickets to the Rolling Stones.
He'll be stoked.
Stoked about what? Are those for tonight's concert, Mom? Oh, you mean these two VlP, first-row, to die for tickets and all-access passes? Life is good.
Oh, and if you don't need the extra ticket, Valerie would love to go.
Gotcha.
l heard the CRB is going to rule on your Presidency this Friday.
No, that's just a nasty rumor.
Well, if you need any legal advice, Jesse would be glad to help.
Thanks.
But actually, l'm hoping they're gonna postpone the whole thing till the Chancellor gets back in town.
Sit down.
Nope, no can do.
Got too much work to do at the library.
Meet me at the Pit, though.
We'll go to the concert together.
-That's the plan.
-Okay.
Thanks, Mom.
Bye.
Does Brandon realize he could be impeached this Friday? l think he's in denial.
Good afternoon, Alex.
Getting all geared up for the battle royal Friday night? You obviously haven't checked your messages.
So, do l have to check the machine, or are you going to save me the suspense? The Constitutional Review Board convenes at 6:00 tonight.
Tonight? Check the machine.
lt'll be the same message l got.
lt's a three-judge panel.
That's three schedules to juggle.
Apparently this head man, Dershenbaum, is due in federal court on Friday.
So we were moved up.
And you're thinking between the two of us, we can get it postponed? No.
l'm here to tell you that you are going to lose.
But if you still want a political career on this campus, resign as president now.
Before the hearing? That's right.
lt's a show of good faith.
And then come next general election, we'll back you in any other office.
You know, l do have front-row tickets to the Rolling Stones tonight.
Great.
Enjoy the show.
You know, Alex, l just can't do it.
l'll see you in court.
Thanks for stopping by.
Look, l'm sorry if l haven't been much of a conversationalist these last few days.
Well, l hate to break it, but, uh, you never were.
You want some gum? No, thanks.
Lollipops, toothpicks, breath mints? What'd you do, win the door prize at the mini-mart? No, l'm, uh just detoxing like you.
l've sworn off of cigarettes, liquor, pot, everything.
Even sex? Well, this week anyway.
So l guess we do have to talk.
Oh, before l forget, um Brandon wanted me to give you this hat and T-shirt.
Oh, the Rolling Stones! He said if you didn't want it, he'd understand.
Are you kidding? l want it.
So, um, how you feeling? l'm just, you know, settling in for the long haul.
Well, you'll make it.
l better make it.
Look, there's a couple little things that l think you should know.
Like what? Like, um no one knows that l was with you the night that you almost killed yourself, and if we could keep it that way Yeah, we can keep it that way.
What else? Well, when your mom asked me to go back to the house, to get you some clothes, l found your stash.
Did you enjoy it? l flushed it down the toilet.
Afraid l'd start using it again? No.
ln case the police got a warrant and searched your house while you were here.
Listen to what you just said.
l can't be dragging you into stuff like this.
-Val, l mean -Dylan No, hear me out.
We had some good times.
l gotta do this by myself.
lt's the only way it's gonna work.
You gotta get on with your life without me in it.
Yeah, l l guess that's why l'm here, too.
To say good-bye.
So long.
Bye.
Look at this line.
You think we got here early enough? We're right on time.
We probably should have brought some seats or something.
l mean, they're probably not gonna let people in for hours.
We're not waiting in line.
What? Ray, do you have tickets or don't you? The show's sold out.
l don't have tickets.
Oh, great.
Relax.
l've seen all the great shows without tickets.
l've seen Springsteen, Nirvana, even the Eagles.
l never miss a note.
We can go right in.
Hold on.
l'm not doing anything illegal.
Who said anything about that? Here you go.
What's this? A vendor's badge.
Vendor? We're working here? Of course.
lt's the only way to see the show.
Yeah, all right, that's good.
Okay, l'm online with Delphi.
All right, type in ''Go Ent Rock''.
There's a whole Rolling Stones section.
Okay, one sec, let's just check out this live chat conference first, see what these cretin fans are saying.
''The San Diego show was awesome.
''Mick was shaman-like.
''Keith was killer.
The Stones rule-- Kenny''.
Clare, what are you doing? Chatting back.
''Kenny, ''obviously, anyone who uses as many cliches as you do ''probably wouldn't know good music if it was injected ''into his ear.
Clare.
'' Clare, these people are gonna jump down your throat-- you're gonna get flamed.
Exactly.
Oh, here come the angry responses now.
''Yo, Mick/Keith faithful, don't pay any attention to this Clare-a-Belle'' Clare-a-Belle? ''She's obviously an experiment in artificial stupidity.
'' Wait, hold on a second, let me give it a shot.
Okay.
''Hey, buds, l was offered tickets ''to the LA show, but l'd rather stay home and format my floppies.
'' Nice blast.
You didn't really get offered tickets, right? Well, yeah, my dad left a message on the machine.
l gotta call him back and tell him no.
No! Don't don't don't do that.
Let's go.
What, are you serious? Yeah, come on, don't you want to see these rabid fans up close and personal? lt'll be a panic.
Okay ''Thanks for all your kind thoughts, ''but anyone who thinks the Stones rule ''probably got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching''.
So, we'll go pick up the programs and souvenirs right before they let the crowd in.
Then we'll go meet my cousin, Conway, and he'll assign us as floaters.
We can go anywhere and see it all while we work-- you're gonna love it.
Well, luckily l got some experience at the pumpkin patch making change.
Yeah, l got you on the fast track now.
Come on, l'm gonna show you something you're never gonna forget.
Oh, my God.
This is what it's like to be a rock star.
l bet even Mick Jagger gets butterflies before the show starts.
Everybody does.
How many people do you think are gonna be here tonight? Oh, 70,000, give or take a vendor or two.
lmagine what it feels like to perform up here.
You know, this could be you someday.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome if you will Ray Pruit! Thank you, thank you.
l'd like to dedicate this first song to the best thing that ever happened to me.
l don't wanna see you Ever sad Everything that l've got You can have When it's all too much You need some human touch To see it's really not so bad Hey, man, what are you doing? Get outta here! Uh, sorry, man, no harm done.
Show's over.
This is so cool! Just send over what you want me to sign and l'll sign it.
Oh, come on.
Don't take that attitude.
Hey, Steve, it's not an attitude, all right? lt's where l'm at with it right now.
Let's just move on.
Well, everything considered, investing probably isn't something you need to be doing now anyway, right? Definitely not.
Hmm, so, uh, what's this place really like? You know, the first few days, it's called ''the honeymoon.
'' How bad could it be? When's the honeymoon over? Tonight, when l meet my therapy group.
Group therapy You've been down that road with A.
A.
Yeah, but this place is nothing like A.
A.
l mean, it's like a throwback to the '60s, you know, the kind of therapy they had back then.
Uh, confrontational analysis.
Well, go slow.
Just kinda ease in, okay? Yeah, that's what l'm trying to do.
Oh, chow time.
Believe me, you don't want to be here for this.
Come on, l'll walk you out.
What's the matter with you, Willie? You come all the way out here, brother, you ain't got nothing to say to me? l didn't know what to say.
Well, l've known you a long time.
Just tell me what's on your mind.
l feel bad for you, Dylan.
You just keep messing up.
Yeah, well, who asked you? Subtle.
I know it's only rock 'n'roll But i like it I know it's only rock 'n'roll But i like it, like it, yes, i do Well, i like it Jim Honey, l'm making dinner.
Yeah, but l want some hors d'oeuvres.
Ooh, you're so bad.
I like it Hmm I said can't you see That this old boy's been lonely if i could stick a knife Valerie! l thought you were going to the Stones concert.
l decided l was gonna study instead.
Oh, no problem.
Well, uh, l'll be upstairs.
Pretend l'm not here.
Bye.
Feelings would flood on the page Would it satisfy ya? You all ready, counselor? Well, l could've used a little more time, but uh, we'll stay on our toes, eh? Anything l should watch out for? Well, from what l've seen of three-judge panels, it's politics and personality that tip the balance.
You're gonna need two out of three to back you in there meaning, we're gonna have to win a few friends, all right? All right.
Hi, Brandon.
Hi, Janice, are you and Alex ready for your coup d'etat? Look Politically, we may be in opposite camps, but you know how much l admired the way you handled yourself with Roland Turner.
Well, l don't want to seem ungrateful, but this sure is a funny way of showing it.
lt's nothing personal, Brandon.
Yeah, it never is.
Yeah.
Very PC of you, Walsh, a representative of color.
You're kidding, and l thought l just hired the best available attorney-- ha! ls Janice Williams still with Diaz? Yeah, but she wished me luck.
Wasn't that big of her? Look at this.
l can't believe this, somebody ordered take-out here.
Oh, that's mine, over here.
Who's the hungry man? That's Aaron Dershenbaum.
He's the head jurist, teaches Constitutional Law here.
From what l can pick up, prides himself on defending the protected classes.
What was that you were saying about politics? -What about the other two? -That's Marcia Ramsden, up-and-coming feminist lawyer, specializing in sexual discrimination suits.
Great.
Okay, so it's not exactly the panel we hoped for.
And to think l could be in Steve's limo right now arriving at the Rolling Stones concert.

Welcome to the Rose Bowl and tonight's Rolling Stones concert.
Stadium policy prohibits the following inside the stadium, No, no, no, lose the book.
You're embarrassing me.
-Come on.
-What're you talking about? There's a lot of dead time at concerts.
l'm gonna make the most of it.
Kelly! Hi.
Hey, l didn't know you guys were coming.
-Hey! -Well, David's father invited us.
So we thought we'd come down and check out what this Stones hype was all about.
l thought we were here to bag on everything.
Well, that, too.
Where is Mel? l'd love to say hello.
We were supposed to meet him at the main gate, but l guess he's running a little late, so we're gonna go over to will-call then swing back through.
Same ol' Mel.
Happy hunting.
See you guys inside.
Only if you can get backstage.
David, l get the impression from what Kelly said, your father may not be the most dependable person on the planet-- yes, no? No, don't listen to Kelly, all right? He'll be here, eventually.
Have a good time.
Steve Sanders.
Hey, l see my photographer.
l'll see you in there.
Okay.
How do you spell that? Sanders, S-A-N-D-E-R-S.
l was comped by the band.
Could it be under another name? Uh, actually, yes it could.
Try Claudette Wells.
l'm actually her guest.
Ms.
Wells didn't leave you a ticket.
She's expecting me backstage.
Yeah, try the Special Ticket Window to your left, sir.
They'll help you reach your party.
Next.
-Ooh, watch it.
-Sorry, man.
Peace.
The Grateful Dead's next month.
Have your l.
D.
s ready.
You must have your l.
D.
s.
My wallet! Hey! We have a new member, as you can all see.
His name is Dylan.
Move him into the circle.
He's avoiding us.
Would you like to move in, Dylan? Not yet.
All right.
l'll accept that.
Okay, let me introduce you to the group.
Shira, Joe, Mitch, Dee, Rich and Charley.
How you doing? Oh, we're doing great, genius.
Yeah, we're just about one step away from the padded room.
Thank you for that reminder, Charley.
Okay, when we broke up yesterday we were talking about the difference between guilt and responsibility.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
We have a newcomer.
l want to know what his problem is before we start opening our veins up.
Not much to say.
l guess your hat says it all, huh? Stones Man.
You a junkie or just a drunk? Hey, l'm just a guy wearing a hat.
Why don't you get off my back and relax? Don't you tell me to relax.
Hey, hey, that's enough, Charley.
Sit down.
Sit down! You're dominating the group again.
Somebody else speak, please.
Did you go to West Beverly High? Yeah, Class of '93.
Hmm, l thought so.
l was two years ahead of you.
lsn't that sweet? Another over-privileged meltdown.
l love having rich boys for dinner.
Hey, do l know you? Oh, you will, oh, yes.
We having fun now! Hmm? Ma'am, l need your stubs to get back in.
Ritchie! Oh! Programs.
Programs.
Programs.
Hot dogs! Hey, Donna, let's work our way towards the tunnel.
The Stones are coming on stage soon.
Okay, l'll be right there.
Donna? Donna! Steve? Donna! Where are you?! Donna, out here! Oh, Donna Why are you wearing that ridiculous getup? Selling programs.
Why, you want one? No.
l want to get in.
l need a ticket! Some hippie dude jacked my wallet.
He stole my cash, my credit cards, my l.
D.
, everything! l've got a major business meeting backstage.
l need to get in.
Hey, Donna, you all right? Yeah, l am, but Steve's not.
You remember my friend Steve, right? Yeah, sure, KEG House.
Yeah.
Do you think there's any way we can get Steve in? lnto the show? Sure.
Uh, you know what, a hundred bucks l can probably scalp a great ticket out here, man.
l'd really appreciate that.
Hey, you don't need to pay, man.
l'll get you in for free.
What size are you? Why do you want to know my size? lce cream.
lce cream -Yeah, can l get an ice cream? -Beat it.
Hey, where can l change? Bathroom's right over there.
You saved my butt, man.
-l'm gonna make this up to you someday.
-Hey, no problem.
Now with a little luck l'll be in the VlP lounge in no time.
Good evening, Pasadena and Los Angeles.
Hey, Sue, can you can you take these? We're gonna grab a couple of sodas.
Rolling Stones, Voodoo Lounge tour, 1994.
Ladies and gentlemen, at this time we would like you to all clear the aisles and concourses and take your seats.
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be You're gonna give your love to me Love to last more than one day Love is love and not fade away Love is love and not fade away ln summation, the court must understand that after the tragic death of Josh Richland, there was no precedent or language in the Constitution that accorded the vice president automatic succession.
And so if Brandon Walsh had not illegally seized the presidency for his own aggrandizement, there would have been a new election, which is all we're asking for.
Thank you Very good.
Now, l'd like to suggest Oh Excuse me.
Ah, if it's all right with my colleagues we'll reconvene in 15 minutes, with Mr.
Walsh's defense.
Why don't they just rule against me, and get this thing over with? Brandon, you have to keep all that negativity out of your head.
He's busy thinking about the concert.
No, what l'm thinking about is the French Revolution.
l mean, back then justice was swift.
They didn't spend an hour dragging your name through the mud, they just lopped your head off.
l can't believe l wasted all my time, holding all those Senate meetings.
Wait a second, l thought you said the only time you had a quorum was during that Roland Turner business.
That's right, but l still called every meeting to order.
You did? Yeah.
Ah, that's interesting.
Take off the hat, squid! Leave him alone, Charley! Not until he takes off that hat.
Because we're trying to get clean and that hat is about getting high.
lt is about being cool.
lt's about par-tay.
No, l think you got it backwards, man.
The hat's a gift.
That's it, a gift from a friend of mine.
lt reminds me l got some people on the outside l'm trying to get straight for.
Oh, how pious, man.
So tell me, what do you think their music sounds better on, huh? -Coke, speed, heroin, what? -On nothing! So now you're the un-stoned man? Yeah.
l hate to break it to you.
lt's true, l was sober for two years and you know what, the music sounded the same to me.
That is such an immense crock, dipstick.
l'll tell you something, l've been at the party a lot longer than anybody in this room.
And they don't call it sex, drugs and rock and roll for nothing, because they go hand in hand in hand.
Yeah, well, l don't know which party you've been to, but the people at the real party, they don't stay there too long 'cause you stay long enough, you end up dead.
Why aren't you dead?! Tell me! Why are you still alive?! Just take that hat off, kid.
l'm not taking off the hat, 'cause l have no problems with the hat.
You, on the other hand, you got a big problem with it and you know why? l think you're the one who can't listen to the music without getting high.
That's what l think.
l don't have to stay here and listen to this.
Oh, Charley Charley! Okay, why is Charley angry? Anybody? Because he knows Dylan's right-- that hat definitely makes him want to get wasted.
Me, too.
Jesse, l wouldn't try any procedural games.
Dershenbaum might get steamed.
Just stick to your original defense.
Brandon's been unfairly targeted.
What do you think, Brandon? You think it's too risky? l say if we're going down, let's go down swinging.
Two macho guys.
Ah, he's back.
Here we go.
l'm sorry for the hideous delay.
My mother is 95 years old, and she's not getting any younger.
Now we have Mr.
Vasquez representing Mr.
Walsh to present the defense.
Mr.
Vasquez.
Your Honor, at this time, l'd like to ask the court to dismiss this complaint.
You know, Counselor, when l want a good laugh, l watch Letterman.
On what possible grounds are you basing your motion? Simply, sir, that the terms of succession are in fact self-evident in the University Constitution, where it clearly states, ''The Senate is called to order by the president.
'' The fact is, the Senate has been meeting continuously during this school year because Brandon Walsh cared enough to call every meeting to order.
l object.
By presiding over every meeting, every week, Your Honor, Brandon Walsh has single-handedly maintained the integrity of his office and therefore should be legally recognized as president.
Your Honor, at most of those meetings, no Senators were there.
One moment, Counselor.
What's your opinion? Objection overruled.
And as far as Mr.
Vasquez's request for dismissal is concerned: the University's constitution may not be clear regarding rules of succession, but l for one can't think of a better or quicker way to establish precedent.
Motion to dismiss granted two to one.
This Review Board is over.
Good night, people.
And congratulations, Mr.
President.
Let the record show, l dissented.
That's great! So, did l win? Boy, did you get lucky.
Uh-uh, he had a clever lawyer.
A good lawyer with a gutsy client.
Well, thanks to both of you.
You know, if you hurry up, you can still catch that concert.
You want to come with me? Oh, no.
No, late nights l still turn into a bartender.
But take my wife, please.
l can't.
Of course you can, we're going to the Voodoo Lounge.
Let's go.
Say good-bye.
Congratulations.
l'm glad the revolution's over.
Yeah, we should talk, Janice.
We will.
No hard feelings, Walsh.
No hard feelings, Alex.
But that's ''Mr.
President'' to you.
What do you mean his pager's off? He lives for his pager.
Clare, where are you going? A cab stand comes to mind.
Good night.
l'm going home.
But the tickets are coming.
Like l care anymore! l'm cold, l'm cranky.
God, you know, l wish we'd never even come.
Let me call you back.
How can we end this nightmare? Oh, come on.
Just wait here with me.
You know, their music's really not that bad.
Hey, you want to buy some tickets? Cheap! Oh What are you scared of, baby? l'm telling you that's my name there.
That is my name! That's me! Look! This is me right there! Excuse me.
lf you would just go get Ms.
Wells.
l'm telling you, l'm Steve Sanders! That may be true, sir, but without an l.
D.
, l can't let you in.
l'm sorry.
lf you would just go get Ms.
Wells, l'm telling you, she'd clear this whole thing up.
l am the real Steve Sanders Kelly, tell him who l am.
Who are ya? Tell him, tell him who l am.
lt's true.
He's Steve Sanders.
l'll vouch for him.
All right, you wait here.
l'll get Ms.
Wells.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Where have you been? You don't want to know.
l'm starving, l'm famished.
Try the lobster quiche.
Oh, this is my style.
Mm! Five minutes out there with the masses and l start getting a hive, l'm telling you.
Yes, l think this is my man.
All right.
Here, you're gonna need this.
Thank you, Claudette.
Well, what happened to you? Um, some hippie dude stole my wallet.
He's out there with my name, my credit cards, everything.
But it doesn't matter now because l'm here.
We can talk about my concept Oh, hold that thought.
The band's cooking.
Come on.
-Where we going? -Dancing.
-Dancing? Come on! The apple, the apple! Here! lf you need an extra pillow, talk to Oscar, the floor man.
Everybody else in this place will stonewall you.
Excuse me? Eh, it's just a helpful hint.
l can get you cigarettes, too if you need 'em.
l don't need 'em.
Nicotine's the one drug l've managed to avoid.
-Hmm.
-So when Oscar brings this pillow, is he gonna do me the favor of taking you away or do l get to do that myself? Oh, come on.
l give every new fish the third degree.
l've got a reputation to uphold.
A reputation for what, being obnoxious? And charming, too, you'll find.
Hey, l was a rich brat, too.
Look, don't even tell me this is the spot where you start telling me we're gonna be buddies.
l'm gonna tell you right now, dude, l will puke.
No, no.
l could never be friends with anybody who shows so little respect for their elders.
Well, elder, let me tell you how it is.
l came to this place to get better.
You're just making it worse.
Wrong.
''What does not kill you will make you stronger.
'' Now think about it.
Because l was tough on you in there, you got stronger.
So what? Well, then you got tough on me, l folded.
Yeah, you folded.
You're sitting in my room feeling sorry for yourself.
No, no, man, what l'm saying Nobody else in this place has got the juice to take me on.
What, you mean you're telling me you actually liked that in there? Yeah, yeah, listen, listen, l gotta get my act together this time.
l am 42 years old.
This go-round is gonna be my last.
l'll do what l can.
Good good.
So about that Stones hat? What, you are still after me about the hat? Yeah.
Can l borrow it? l don't think it'll kill you.
That's the idea.
If you start me up If you start me up, I'll never stop I can't compete with the riders in the other heat Backstage pass! Backstage pass! You made a grown man cry You made a grown man cry You made a grown man cry Ride like the wind at double speed I'll take you places that you never, never seen Start me up You, you, you made a grown man cry Start me up/ All right.
Whoo! If i could stick a knife in my heart A suicide right on the stage Would it satisfy ya or would it slide on by ya? Would it help to ease the pain? Ease the pai-ai-ain i said i know it's only rock 'n'roll, but i like it i know it's only rock 'n'roll, but i like it Whoo! i know it's only rock 'n'roll, but i like it i know it's only rock 'n'roll, but i like it Like it, yes, i do.
Rebel women knitted while watching the heads of the old guard plop into the baskets that were placed at the foot of Monsieur Guillotine.
An atmosphere of absurdity reigned.
One Brandon? Not me, Mom.
I was a butcher cutting up meat -My hands were bloody -Rolling Stones, Dad? -I'm dying on my feet -What has gotten into you? l gotta tell you, they still do it to me.
What's in the sack, Jack? Just a little show of gratitude from a satisfied client.
He's a merchandising honcho with the Voodoo Lounge tour.
Grab what you want, chief.
Give the rest to your friends.
Somehow, l can't see Kelly wearing that.
Give her a CD, then.
Take what you want, but leave the Let it Bleed album for me.
And my chick.
Oh, you're bad.
Dad, uh, this stuff's great and everything, but, uh, how about some tickets? They're playing at the Rose Bowl.
Well, truthfully, l'd rather listen to them in the privacy of my home.
l'm not talking about you, Dad.
Oh, you want to go to the concert.
l thought you were worried about midterms.
Well, l'm worried about a lot of things, Dad, but a couple tickets to the Rolling Stones may alleviate some of my pain if you know what l'm saying? Yeah, well, l'll see what l can do.
But they might be sold out.
Really? l can't believe that after all these years people are still excited about the Rolling Stones.
You got me running I was a butcher cutting up meat My hands are bloody I'm dying on my feet Feeling bad, i guess i lost my spring i was a boxer who can't get in the ring Hey, hey, you got me rocking Hey, hey, there ain't no stopping me Hey, hey Hi, Kel.
Hi.
Hey, l know that girl! No, don't look at them.
l just spent the last hour going over every little imperfection.
What're you talking about? You look great.
That's what everyone at the magazine says.
Maybe that's why l'm so nervous.
What's in the bag? Rolling Stones T-shirts.
One for you if you'd like.
No.
l'm still trying to adjust to the fact that l've got to go to their show tonight.
You're going to the concert? Yeah, the magazine editor wants me to go hang out in the VlP lounge, have a photo-op with a Stone or two.
And you're not excited? Brandon, l would be, but l've got a midterm in Abnormal Psychology tomorrow.
Well, if you would like me to go in your place, all you have to do is say the word.
l would, thanks, but l just don't think that they'd consider you for the cover of the swimsuit edition.
That's only because they've never seen me in a thong.
So, you really want to go? Absolutely, it would help take my mind off this whole CRB thing.
What's a CRB? The Constitutional Review Board.
l just got word they're gonna meet on Friday night to decide whether or not l have the right to be president.
l wish you didn't have to go through this.
lt had to happen sometime.
l don't get it.
Why does Alex Diaz have it in for you? Because l'm the president and he's not.
Hmm.
So going to the Stones' concert would be the only thing that would get your mind off of him? Well, l can think of a few other things.
Like what? Well Mmm, that? All right, stand by.
This is C.
U.
Later Entertainment News, take one.
Wow, l'm excited, David.
ln the concert spotlight tonight is the Rolling Stones' big Voodoo Lounge show at the Rose Bowl.
That's right, Clare.
lt's sold out, so even if you wanted to get tickets for tonight, you couldn't.
Yeah, like l'd really want to watch an irrelevant band of Dinosaurs? Yeah.
Yeah.
Guys, can you read the copy that's given? This is news, not commentary.
Sure.
Sorry, look, just give us a second, all right? We have a couple rewrites we're gonna do.
Great.
Bored yet? No.
But they are so wrong.
About what? The Stones.
l mean, they are rock and roll.
You've got to give the masters some respect.
Well, l don't know their stuff that well.
Believe me, l do.
My mother took me to my first concert when l was six.
l've caught every one of their tours since.
And ''Wild Horses'' was probably the first song l ever sang.
lt's a beautiful ballad.
l'd like to hear you do it.
l got a better idea.
You should hear Mick do it, live.
What? What's going on? l think you're looking at the guy who's going to take you to your first Rolling Stones concert.
Kelly, have you seen Brandon? Yeah, he should be here in a minute.
Good.
-Come, sit down.
-Thanks.
You should see these proofs.
They're beautiful.
Can we please talk about something other than me? How are your midterms going? Ask me at the end of the week.
Yeah, me, too.
l've got a Genetics professor who likes to test you on stuff you haven't studied.
Yeah, l think Brandon will be relieved when his World History is over.
Brandon will be relieved when he finds out that Jim got two free tickets to the Rolling Stones.
He'll be stoked.
Stoked about what? Are those for tonight's concert, Mom? Oh, you mean these two VlP, first-row, to die for tickets and all-access passes? Life is good.
Oh, and if you don't need the extra ticket, Valerie would love to go.
Gotcha.
l heard the CRB is going to rule on your Presidency this Friday.
No, that's just a nasty rumor.
Well, if you need any legal advice, Jesse would be glad to help.
Thanks.
But actually, l'm hoping they're gonna postpone the whole thing till the Chancellor gets back in town.
Sit down.
Nope, no can do.
Got too much work to do at the library.
Meet me at the Pit, though.
We'll go to the concert together.
-That's the plan.
-Okay.
Thanks, Mom.
Bye.
Does Brandon realize he could be impeached this Friday? l think he's in denial.
Good afternoon, Alex.
Getting all geared up for the battle royal Friday night? You obviously haven't checked your messages.
So, do l have to check the machine, or are you going to save me the suspense? The Constitutional Review Board convenes at 6:00 tonight.
Tonight? Check the machine.
lt'll be the same message l got.
lt's a three-judge panel.
That's three schedules to juggle.
Apparently this head man, Dershenbaum, is due in federal court on Friday.
So we were moved up.
And you're thinking between the two of us, we can get it postponed? No.
l'm here to tell you that you are going to lose.
But if you still want a political career on this campus, resign as president now.
Before the hearing? That's right.
lt's a show of good faith.
And then come next general election, we'll back you in any other office.
You know, l do have front-row tickets to the Rolling Stones tonight.
Great.
Enjoy the show.
You know, Alex, l just can't do it.
l'll see you in court.
Thanks for stopping by.
Look, l'm sorry if l haven't been much of a conversationalist these last few days.
Well, l hate to break it, but, uh, you never were.
You want some gum? No, thanks.
Lollipops, toothpicks, breath mints? What'd you do, win the door prize at the mini-mart? No, l'm, uh just detoxing like you.
l've sworn off of cigarettes, liquor, pot, everything.
Even sex? Well, this week anyway.
So l guess we do have to talk.
Oh, before l forget, um Brandon wanted me to give you this hat and T-shirt.
Oh, the Rolling Stones! He said if you didn't want it, he'd understand.
Are you kidding? l want it.
So, um, how you feeling? l'm just, you know, settling in for the long haul.
Well, you'll make it.
l better make it.
Look, there's a couple little things that l think you should know.
Like what? Like, um no one knows that l was with you the night that you almost killed yourself, and if we could keep it that way Yeah, we can keep it that way.
What else? Well, when your mom asked me to go back to the house, to get you some clothes, l found your stash.
Did you enjoy it? l flushed it down the toilet.
Afraid l'd start using it again? No.
ln case the police got a warrant and searched your house while you were here.
Listen to what you just said.
l can't be dragging you into stuff like this.
-Val, l mean -Dylan No, hear me out.
We had some good times.
l gotta do this by myself.
lt's the only way it's gonna work.
You gotta get on with your life without me in it.
Yeah, l l guess that's why l'm here, too.
To say good-bye.
So long.
Bye.
Look at this line.
You think we got here early enough? We're right on time.
We probably should have brought some seats or something.
l mean, they're probably not gonna let people in for hours.
We're not waiting in line.
What? Ray, do you have tickets or don't you? The show's sold out.
l don't have tickets.
Oh, great.
Relax.
l've seen all the great shows without tickets.
l've seen Springsteen, Nirvana, even the Eagles.
l never miss a note.
We can go right in.
Hold on.
l'm not doing anything illegal.
Who said anything about that? Here you go.
What's this? A vendor's badge.
Vendor? We're working here? Of course.
lt's the only way to see the show.
Yeah, all right, that's good.
Okay, l'm online with Delphi.
All right, type in ''Go Ent Rock''.
There's a whole Rolling Stones section.
Okay, one sec, let's just check out this live chat conference first, see what these cretin fans are saying.
''The San Diego show was awesome.
''Mick was shaman-like.
''Keith was killer.
The Stones rule-- Kenny''.
Clare, what are you doing? Chatting back.
''Kenny, ''obviously, anyone who uses as many cliches as you do ''probably wouldn't know good music if it was injected ''into his ear.
Clare.
'' Clare, these people are gonna jump down your throat-- you're gonna get flamed.
Exactly.
Oh, here come the angry responses now.
''Yo, Mick/Keith faithful, don't pay any attention to this Clare-a-Belle'' Clare-a-Belle? ''She's obviously an experiment in artificial stupidity.
'' Wait, hold on a second, let me give it a shot.
Okay.
''Hey, buds, l was offered tickets ''to the LA show, but l'd rather stay home and format my floppies.
'' Nice blast.
You didn't really get offered tickets, right? Well, yeah, my dad left a message on the machine.
l gotta call him back and tell him no.
No! Don't don't don't do that.
Let's go.
What, are you serious? Yeah, come on, don't you want to see these rabid fans up close and personal? lt'll be a panic.
Okay ''Thanks for all your kind thoughts, ''but anyone who thinks the Stones rule ''probably got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching''.
So, we'll go pick up the programs and souvenirs right before they let the crowd in.
Then we'll go meet my cousin, Conway, and he'll assign us as floaters.
We can go anywhere and see it all while we work-- you're gonna love it.
Well, luckily l got some experience at the pumpkin patch making change.
Yeah, l got you on the fast track now.
Come on, l'm gonna show you something you're never gonna forget.
Oh, my God.
This is what it's like to be a rock star.
l bet even Mick Jagger gets butterflies before the show starts.
Everybody does.
How many people do you think are gonna be here tonight? Oh, 70,000, give or take a vendor or two.
lmagine what it feels like to perform up here.
You know, this could be you someday.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome if you will Ray Pruit! Thank you, thank you.
l'd like to dedicate this first song to the best thing that ever happened to me.
l don't wanna see you Ever sad Everything that l've got You can have When it's all too much You need some human touch To see it's really not so bad Hey, man, what are you doing? Get outta here! Uh, sorry, man, no harm done.
Show's over.
This is so cool! Just send over what you want me to sign and l'll sign it.
Oh, come on.
Don't take that attitude.
Hey, Steve, it's not an attitude, all right? lt's where l'm at with it right now.
Let's just move on.
Well, everything considered, investing probably isn't something you need to be doing now anyway, right? Definitely not.
Hmm, so, uh, what's this place really like? You know, the first few days, it's called ''the honeymoon.
'' How bad could it be? When's the honeymoon over? Tonight, when l meet my therapy group.
Group therapy You've been down that road with A.
A.
Yeah, but this place is nothing like A.
A.
l mean, it's like a throwback to the '60s, you know, the kind of therapy they had back then.
Uh, confrontational analysis.
Well, go slow.
Just kinda ease in, okay? Yeah, that's what l'm trying to do.
Oh, chow time.
Believe me, you don't want to be here for this.
Come on, l'll walk you out.
What's the matter with you, Willie? You come all the way out here, brother, you ain't got nothing to say to me? l didn't know what to say.
Well, l've known you a long time.
Just tell me what's on your mind.
l feel bad for you, Dylan.
You just keep messing up.
Yeah, well, who asked you? Subtle.
I know it's only rock 'n'roll But i like it I know it's only rock 'n'roll But i like it, like it, yes, i do Well, i like it Jim Honey, l'm making dinner.
Yeah, but l want some hors d'oeuvres.
Ooh, you're so bad.
I like it Hmm I said can't you see That this old boy's been lonely if i could stick a knife Valerie! l thought you were going to the Stones concert.
l decided l was gonna study instead.
Oh, no problem.
Well, uh, l'll be upstairs.
Pretend l'm not here.
Bye.
Feelings would flood on the page Would it satisfy ya? You all ready, counselor? Well, l could've used a little more time, but uh, we'll stay on our toes, eh? Anything l should watch out for? Well, from what l've seen of three-judge panels, it's politics and personality that tip the balance.
You're gonna need two out of three to back you in there meaning, we're gonna have to win a few friends, all right? All right.
Hi, Brandon.
Hi, Janice, are you and Alex ready for your coup d'etat? Look Politically, we may be in opposite camps, but you know how much l admired the way you handled yourself with Roland Turner.
Well, l don't want to seem ungrateful, but this sure is a funny way of showing it.
lt's nothing personal, Brandon.
Yeah, it never is.
Yeah.
Very PC of you, Walsh, a representative of color.
You're kidding, and l thought l just hired the best available attorney-- ha! ls Janice Williams still with Diaz? Yeah, but she wished me luck.
Wasn't that big of her? Look at this.
l can't believe this, somebody ordered take-out here.
Oh, that's mine, over here.
Who's the hungry man? That's Aaron Dershenbaum.
He's the head jurist, teaches Constitutional Law here.
From what l can pick up, prides himself on defending the protected classes.
What was that you were saying about politics? -What about the other two? -That's Marcia Ramsden, up-and-coming feminist lawyer, specializing in sexual discrimination suits.
Great.
Okay, so it's not exactly the panel we hoped for.
And to think l could be in Steve's limo right now arriving at the Rolling Stones concert.
Welcome to the Rose Bowl and tonight's Rolling Stones concert.

Welcome to the Rose Bowl and tonight's Rolling Stones concert.
Stadium policy prohibits the following inside the stadium, No, no, no, lose the book.
You're embarrassing me.
-Come on.
-What're you talking about? There's a lot of dead time at concerts.
l'm gonna make the most of it.
Kelly! Hi.
Hey, l didn't know you guys were coming.
-Hey! -Well, David's father invited us.
So we thought we'd come down and check out what this Stones hype was all about.
l thought we were here to bag on everything.
Well, that, too.
Where is Mel? l'd love to say hello.
We were supposed to meet him at the main gate, but l guess he's running a little late, so we're gonna go over to will-call then swing back through.
Same ol' Mel.
Happy hunting.
See you guys inside.
Only if you can get backstage.
David, l get the impression from what Kelly said, your father may not be the most dependable person on the planet-- yes, no? No, don't listen to Kelly, all right? He'll be here, eventually.
Have a good time.
Steve Sanders.
Hey, l see my photographer.
l'll see you in there.
Okay.
How do you spell that? Sanders, S-A-N-D-E-R-S.
l was comped by the band.
Could it be under another name? Uh, actually, yes it could.
Try Claudette Wells.
l'm actually her guest.
Ms.
Wells didn't leave you a ticket.
She's expecting me backstage.
Yeah, try the Special Ticket Window to your left, sir.
They'll help you reach your party.
Next.
-Ooh, watch it.
-Sorry, man.
Peace.
The Grateful Dead's next month.
Have your l.
D.
s ready.
You must have your l.
D.
s.
My wallet! Hey! We have a new member, as you can all see.
His name is Dylan.
Move him into the circle.
He's avoiding us.
Would you like to move in, Dylan? Not yet.
All right.
l'll accept that.
Okay, let me introduce you to the group.
Shira, Joe, Mitch, Dee, Rich and Charley.
How you doing? Oh, we're doing great, genius.
Yeah, we're just about one step away from the padded room.
Thank you for that reminder, Charley.
Okay, when we broke up yesterday we were talking about the difference between guilt and responsibility.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
We have a newcomer.
l want to know what his problem is before we start opening our veins up.
Not much to say.
l guess your hat says it all, huh? Stones Man.
You a junkie or just a drunk? Hey, l'm just a guy wearing a hat.
Why don't you get off my back and relax? Don't you tell me to relax.
Hey, hey, that's enough, Charley.
Sit down.
Sit down! You're dominating the group again.
Somebody else speak, please.
Did you go to West Beverly High? Yeah, Class of '93.
Hmm, l thought so.
l was two years ahead of you.
lsn't that sweet? Another over-privileged meltdown.
l love having rich boys for dinner.
Hey, do l know you? Oh, you will, oh, yes.
We having fun now! Hmm? Ma'am, l need your stubs to get back in.
Ritchie! Oh! Programs.
Programs.
Programs.
Hot dogs! Hey, Donna, let's work our way towards the tunnel.
The Stones are coming on stage soon.
Okay, l'll be right there.
Donna? Donna! Steve? Donna! Where are you?! Donna, out here! Oh, Donna Why are you wearing that ridiculous getup? Selling programs.
Why, you want one? No.
l want to get in.
l need a ticket! Some hippie dude jacked my wallet.
He stole my cash, my credit cards, my l.
D.
, everything! l've got a major business meeting backstage.
l need to get in.
Hey, Donna, you all right? Yeah, l am, but Steve's not.
You remember my friend Steve, right? Yeah, sure, KEG House.
Yeah.
Do you think there's any way we can get Steve in? lnto the show? Sure.
Uh, you know what, a hundred bucks l can probably scalp a great ticket out here, man.
l'd really appreciate that.
Hey, you don't need to pay, man.
l'll get you in for free.
What size are you? Why do you want to know my size? lce cream.
lce cream -Yeah, can l get an ice cream? -Beat it.
Hey, where can l change? Bathroom's right over there.
You saved my butt, man.
-l'm gonna make this up to you someday.
-Hey, no problem.
Now with a little luck l'll be in the VlP lounge in no time.
Good evening, Pasadena and Los Angeles.
Hey, Sue, can you can you take these? We're gonna grab a couple of sodas.
Rolling Stones, Voodoo Lounge tour, 1994.
Ladies and gentlemen, at this time we would like you to all clear the aisles and concourses and take your seats.
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be You're gonna give your love to me Love to last more than one day Love is love and not fade away Love is love and not fade away ln summation, the court must understand that after the tragic death of Josh Richland, there was no precedent or language in the Constitution that accorded the vice president automatic succession.
And so if Brandon Walsh had not illegally seized the presidency for his own aggrandizement, there would have been a new election, which is all we're asking for.
Thank you Very good.
Now, l'd like to suggest Oh Excuse me.
Ah, if it's all right with my colleagues we'll reconvene in 15 minutes, with Mr.
Walsh's defense.
Why don't they just rule against me, and get this thing over with? Brandon, you have to keep all that negativity out of your head.
He's busy thinking about the concert.
No, what l'm thinking about is the French Revolution.
l mean, back then justice was swift.
They didn't spend an hour dragging your name through the mud, they just lopped your head off.
l can't believe l wasted all my time, holding all those Senate meetings.
Wait a second, l thought you said the only time you had a quorum was during that Roland Turner business.
That's right, but l still called every meeting to order.
You did? Yeah.
Ah, that's interesting.
Take off the hat, squid! Leave him alone, Charley! Not until he takes off that hat.
Because we're trying to get clean and that hat is about getting high.
lt is about being cool.
lt's about par-tay.
No, l think you got it backwards, man.
The hat's a gift.
That's it, a gift from a friend of mine.
lt reminds me l got some people on the outside l'm trying to get straight for.
Oh, how pious, man.
So tell me, what do you think their music sounds better on, huh? -Coke, speed, heroin, what? -On nothing! So now you're the un-stoned man? Yeah.
l hate to break it to you.
lt's true, l was sober for two years and you know what, the music sounded the same to me.
That is such an immense crock, dipstick.
l'll tell you something, l've been at the party a lot longer than anybody in this room.
And they don't call it sex, drugs and rock and roll for nothing, because they go hand in hand in hand.
Yeah, well, l don't know which party you've been to, but the people at the real party, they don't stay there too long 'cause you stay long enough, you end up dead.
Why aren't you dead?! Tell me! Why are you still alive?! Just take that hat off, kid.
l'm not taking off the hat, 'cause l have no problems with the hat.
You, on the other hand, you got a big problem with it and you know why? l think you're the one who can't listen to the music without getting high.
That's what l think.
l don't have to stay here and listen to this.
Oh, Charley Charley! Okay, why is Charley angry? Anybody? Because he knows Dylan's right-- that hat definitely makes him want to get wasted.
Me, too.
Jesse, l wouldn't try any procedural games.
Dershenbaum might get steamed.
Just stick to your original defense.
Brandon's been unfairly targeted.
What do you think, Brandon? You think it's too risky? l say if we're going down, let's go down swinging.
Two macho guys.
Ah, he's back.
Here we go.
l'm sorry for the hideous delay.
My mother is 95 years old, and she's not getting any younger.
Now we have Mr.
Vasquez representing Mr.
Walsh to present the defense.
Mr.
Vasquez.
Your Honor, at this time, l'd like to ask the court to dismiss this complaint.
You know, Counselor, when l want a good laugh, l watch Letterman.
On what possible grounds are you basing your motion? Simply, sir, that the terms of succession are in fact self-evident in the University Constitution, where it clearly states, ''The Senate is called to order by the president.
'' The fact is, the Senate has been meeting continuously during this school year because Brandon Walsh cared enough to call every meeting to order.
l object.
By presiding over every meeting, every week, Your Honor, Brandon Walsh has single-handedly maintained the integrity of his office and therefore should be legally recognized as president.
Your Honor, at most of those meetings, no Senators were there.
One moment, Counselor.
What's your opinion? Objection overruled.
And as far as Mr.
Vasquez's request for dismissal is concerned: the University's constitution may not be clear regarding rules of succession, but l for one can't think of a better or quicker way to establish precedent.
Motion to dismiss granted two to one.
This Review Board is over.
Good night, people.
And congratulations, Mr.
President.
Let the record show, l dissented.
That's great! So, did l win? Boy, did you get lucky.
Uh-uh, he had a clever lawyer.
A good lawyer with a gutsy client.
Well, thanks to both of you.
You know, if you hurry up, you can still catch that concert.
You want to come with me? Oh, no.
No, late nights l still turn into a bartender.
But take my wife, please.
l can't.
Of course you can, we're going to the Voodoo Lounge.
Let's go.
Say good-bye.
Congratulations.
l'm glad the revolution's over.
Yeah, we should talk, Janice.
We will.
No hard feelings, Walsh.
No hard feelings, Alex.
But that's ''Mr.
President'' to you.
What do you mean his pager's off? He lives for his pager.
Clare, where are you going? A cab stand comes to mind.
Good night.
l'm going home.
But the tickets are coming.
Like l care anymore! l'm cold, l'm cranky.
God, you know, l wish we'd never even come.
Let me call you back.
How can we end this nightmare? Oh, come on.
Just wait here with me.
You know, their music's really not that bad.
Hey, you want to buy some tickets? Cheap! Oh What are you scared of, baby? l'm telling you that's my name there.
That is my name! That's me! Look! This is me right there! Excuse me.
lf you would just go get Ms.
Wells.
l'm telling you, l'm Steve Sanders! That may be true, sir, but without an l.
D.
, l can't let you in.
l'm sorry.
lf you would just go get Ms.
Wells, l'm telling you, she'd clear this whole thing up.
l am the real Steve Sanders Kelly, tell him who l am.
Who are ya? Tell him, tell him who l am.
lt's true.
He's Steve Sanders.
l'll vouch for him.
All right, you wait here.
l'll get Ms.
Wells.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Where have you been? You don't want to know.
l'm starving, l'm famished.
Try the lobster quiche.
Oh, this is my style.
Mm! Five minutes out there with the masses and l start getting a hive, l'm telling you.
Yes, l think this is my man.
All right.
Here, you're gonna need this.
Thank you, Claudette.
Well, what happened to you? Um, some hippie dude stole my wallet.
He's out there with my name, my credit cards, everything.

We can talk about my concept Oh, hold that thought.
The band's cooking.

-Where we going? -Dancing.
-Dancing? Come on! The apple, the apple! Here! lf you need an extra pillow, talk to Oscar, the floor man.
Everybody else in this place will stonewall you.
Excuse me? Eh, it's just a helpful hint.
l can get you cigarettes, too if you need 'em.
l don't need 'em.
Nicotine's the one drug l've managed to avoid.
-Hmm.
-So when Oscar brings this pillow, is he gonna do me the favor of taking you away or do l get to do that myself? Oh, come on.

l've got a reputation to uphold.
A reputation for what, being obnoxious? And charming, too, you'll find.
Hey, l was a rich brat, too.
Look, don't even tell me this is the spot where you start telling me we're gonna be buddies.

l could never be friends with anybody who shows so little respect for their elders.
Well, elder, let me tell you how it is.
l came to this place to get better.
You're just making it worse.
Wrong.
''What does not kill you will make you stronger.
'' Now think about it.
Because l was tough on you in there, you got stronger.
So what? Well, then you got tough on me, l folded.

You're sitting in my room feeling sorry for yourself.
No, no, man, what l'm saying Nobody else in this place has got the juice to take me on.

So about that Stones hat? What, you are still after me about the hat? Yeah.
Can l borrow it? l don't think it'll kill you.
