Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s06e08 Episode Script

Gypsies, Cramps and Fleas (a.k.a. Halloween VI)

Morning.
Hey, happy Halloween.
Ray, what are you doing? Bringing you your, uh, anniversary present.
It's not our anniversary.
What are you talking about? Of course it is.
I mean I mean, we have nothing to celebrate.
Well, sure we do.
It's, um It's a It's a new year, new beginning.
And this time, we're gonna get it right.
I got it right the first time.
Well, hey, are you gonna go to that Halloween party tonight at the After Dark? Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
- Need a ride? - Ray.
Hey, you can't blame a guy for trying, right? I am trying, Donna.
I know you are.
So, look, um, I'll be there tonight if you want to talk or maybe even dance.
We'll see.
Hey, Donna? Happy anniversary.
I woke up this morning, and my baby was gone.
Your baby was on a mission.
Well, what was she getting? I thought I thought you were gonna get, like, milk.
I was expecting milk, bread, you know, butter.
Have we forgotten what day it is? We have trick-or-treaters to entertain tonight.
Entertain? I mean, look, usually on Halloween, I-I pull the curtains, I sit here in the dark with a rocket launcher on my lap, and it works for me.
Charming, but now that we're roommates, everything's going to be different.
No hiding out, no brooding.
Like it or not, you're going to join the living.
Right.
So what are we gonna do with young David Silver here, put it in my closet? Front door.
Oh, look out, look out.
Trouble.
Oh, what do you mean, trouble? She's adorable.
Come here, little girl.
Nah No, don't do that.
Come here.
The last thing I need right now is a black cat.
- That is bad luck.
- Don't be superstitious.
Look, she's the perfect Halloween pet.
Oh.
Yeah, perfect Halloween fleas and stuff.
Hey.
We can fix that.
Oh, come here, little kitty.
Did I ever tell you how I hate pets? Come here, baby.
Well, you don't anymore.
No.
Hello.
I know we talked about it.
You know I hate them.
Tarot answers the question that's most important to you right now, based on your past, your present and your future.
So, in other words, these cards are telling you that you're incredibly kind, generous and gifted.
It goes much deeper than that.
Hmm.
Oh, incredibly kind, gifted, generous, pretty and smart, right? Laugh all you want, guys, but I think there's some truth here.
Like this last card my significator.
This one applies directly to me.
- Ready? - Mm-hmm.
Lovers.
I thought you said nothing happened between you and Steve? - Nothing did.
- Well, it looks like something will.
I mean, it's in the cards.
- Woo - Woo! Come on, Clare, we're gonna be late for school.
So, are you standing me up for the party? No.
I just want to meet you there, that's all.
- But I thought we had a date.
- We do.
I just want my costume to be a surprise, that's all.
Come on, give me a little hint.
Okay.
It's very feminist.
You a feminist? Shocker.
Let me guess you're going as yourself? Cheeseburger, French fries, Chili dogs, two steak sandwiches.
This guy's incredible.
The guy's a vacuum cleaner.
How often does he do this? - Tuesday and Thursday before every game.
- Hey.
- What's up, Steve? - How are you? Donna Martin, this is my buddy from Comparative Lit, Joe Bradley.
Hey.
The quarterback who's taking C.
U.
to the Rose Bowl, right? - The quarterback, anyway.
- Burger done.
Bring on the BLT.
Whoa.
Don't waste time.
Mowing.
Go, boy.
Why? Why is he doing this? We're on a winning streak.
And Tiny's superstitious.
A.
K.
, don't go spreading that around.
Someone might get the wrong idea.
Yeah, that's for sure.
I think it's pretty silly.
Okay, but do you want to be the one to tell him? Uh, no, thanks.
I don't think I want to be an hors d'oeuvre at this moment.
Hey, Joe, I think I saw your order ready.
Double cheeseburger, no tomato, baked potato, plain, a slice of cherry pie.
Isn't that the winning streak special? Busted.
Okay, so I taught Tiny everything he knows.
So, just how superstitious are you? On a scale of one to ten? Eleven.
I mean, when you're winning, it's not like you don't change your underwear or anything, is it? Define change.
Once a day.
I think my food's getting cold.
That-That's disgusting.
Don, sometimes they don't wear underwear.
Oh.
You're kidding, right? Sorry, but it's your fault.
You're incredibly cute when you're being teased.
Um, I got to go to class.
When will I see you again? Are you going to the After Dark tonight? I am now.
Bye.
There you are.
Hey, Clare.
Hi.
I've been wanting to talk to you.
Yeah, me-me, too.
What happened in the hotel last week, what happened between us Well, nothing happened between us.
I know, and I think we're lucky.
Yeah, I know.
Me, too.
I don't know what I was thinking going to a hotel room with you in the first place.
Me, either.
Well, I know what you were thinking.
Please don't flatter yourself.
It was a fleeting thought at best, but I had nightmares all week.
It It wouldn't have worked.
Speaking of, uh, nightmares, can you tell me what you're wearing to the party tonight so I can avoid having any contact with you? And I was so looking forward to your intellectual superiority.
You know, I'm I'm going to miss tutoring you.
I was actually beginning to enjoy the concept of getting paid to constantly remind you of your shortcomings.
I'm sure you'll find someone else to condescend to.
Yeah, but it won't be nearly as much fun, Steve.
I'm hungry.
David, what's with the camper from hell outside taking up three spaces? We don't have enough room as it is.
Oh, Nat's helping out this Madame Raven.
What's a Madame Raven? That's a Madame Raven.
She's a fortune-teller.
What is she doing here? Well, I'm not really sure, but it looks like she's staying.
David, I'll be right back.
It's a little steep, isn't it? Madame Raven didn't know love had a price.
It doesn't.
And this potion would be priceless if it really worked.
Listen, Nat, we need to talk.
Valerie, I want you to meet Madame Raven.
Hi.
You are a very busy woman.
Sometimes too busy to see the effect you have on people.
Listen, Nat, we're gonna have a full house tonight.
The rag lady's got to go.
It's extremely bad luck to turf a fortune teller.
So, do you have to give her the keys to the candy store? You're having a party? I could tell fortunes.
Ten dollars a reading.
Five with a student I.
D.
Oh, want to sit over here, Tom? She wants to hang a shingle and tell fortunes.
You know that would be great, but I've already seen my future, and you're not in it.
Hey, how's it going? It's done.
Are you okay? 'Cause I've been here a lot, and you seem distracted.
I've got a lot on my mind.
It's beautiful.
Probably worth twice what I'm paying.
Great.
Make the check payable to my landlord.
Why? Are you behind on rent? How is that possible? I mean, I thought the opening of your gallery was a big hit.
Right, none of my business.
I need to get paid.
Look, I'll get a check to you by the end of the day, okay? Colin if you need anything, anything at all, I'll be here for you.
Thanks.
It's nice to know someone's in my corner.
I see great distress in your life.
Well, my mom hasn't been well.
I see sadness.
She is getting better, though.
And hope in the form of a savior.
A soul mate.
Oh, that's, uh, Valerie.
You are in love, but there is uncertainty.
Misunderstanding.
Someone else, perhaps? Well, there were others in the past.
But now? Who? The, uh, crystal ball has clouded.
We must consult again later.
Later? What am I supposed to do in the meantime? You love her, you want her to love you.
Madame Raven has just the thing.
A love potion.
Wait a second.
Is that the stuff you were cooking up in the Peach Pit? No thanks, really.
You drink some, give some to your intended, and I promise, love will flower.
Making a happy face or a sad face? I haven't decided yet.
What are you doing here? I wanted to see if you're okay.
Fine.
Never better.
Yeah.
Yeah, me, too.
Shouldn't you be finishing your mural or something? What makes you think I haven't? You don't have a job yet.
I got to tell you, I just keep thinking getting a job means I'm not really an artist.
Aren't you the one who told me that most living artists don't really make a living at it? Yeah.
But I always expected myself to be the exception to that rule.
Me and David Hockney.
A little humility might do you good.
Trust me, I'm humble.
In fact, I'm begging.
Please come to the unveiling tonight.
I don't know.
Will you at least consider it? I'll consider considering it.
Thanks for stopping by.
All right.
It's okay.
Tought I taw a putty tat who needed a bath.
Come here, you.
Oh, she won't mind.
Poor baby, she can't stop scratching.
Be careful, 'cause when you put cats in water, they don't like it.
Okay, she'll Ow! - Ooh, see, see! - Ow! - Give me that.
- Mm.
Hey, that's bad.
- Go disinfect that.
- Whoa.
Trouble has a dark side.
See what you're doing? Dylan.
Band-Aids are in this cabinet.
Well, I'd like to talk about what was in this cabinet.
Ah, it's pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? Guns make me nervous, Dylan.
Why do you have this? Rough city, need protection.
Protection from the street crime in Beverly Hills, I see.
I just don't want anybody to get the drop on me, okay? Anyone or my dad? Dylan, I thought you gave up this revenge business.
I did.
I just, I can't be sure the same can be said - of your father.
- Oh, great.
Well, now you're both armed and dangerous.
No, I'm just armed.
Get rid of the gun before someone gets killed.
I mean it, Dylan.
Say it.
All right, all right.
I'll get rid of it.
Ray.
- Donna, hi.
- Hey.
Your mom told me where I could find you.
Listen, I've been thinking about the conversation we had this morning.
Hey, I was wrong to just show up.
I should never have done that.
I'm sorry.
Please, just listen, 'cause I really need you to understand this.
I'd like to talk to people at the party tonight.
And I just, I don't want you to get upset about it.
So what, you, uh, you have a date? No.
No, I don't.
But there is someone else.
I'm not sure.
But I'd like to find out.
And I can't do that if I feel like I'm being watched.
Is that the way I make you feel? Sometimes, yeah.
Are you asking me not to come to this party tonight? I'm asking you to go as my friend.
And if you can't, then don't.
Look, if you want to cool things off, that's okay, I can understand that.
But I am going to win you back, Donna.
But you understand about tonight, right? Yeah.
Look, it's best this way, okay? Yeah, sure it is.
I got to say, I miss you.
I thought you might have called me.
You okay here? Yeah, everything's great.
Good.
That was worrying me.
He wants to meet with you talk.
He's pretty broken up about all this.
I don't know, Bruno.
He'll meet you anyplace you say, anytime.
He just wants to talk.
Even the Peach Pit, if you want to.
What's going on? It's okay, Dylan.
My business here is done.
Yeah, I would say so.
You'll let me know? Yeah.
Thanks for coming, Bruno.
I missed you, too.
Just testing.
Do I want to know what that's about? My father.
He's asking, Dylan.
Maybe it's his way of declaring a truce.
I am so sorry.
Please, let me help you with that.
I am Madame Raven.
I didn't know anyone was there.
Isn't it your job to know things like that? You have a secret, my dear.
Right.
I'm hungry.
She's not the only one.
Love potion, huh? Buy two, get one free.
No, I think we're doing just fine on our own.
Does the other boy think so, too? What other boy? The one in Seattle.
Susan, let's go.
Um, go ahead and order.
I'll be right there.
I-I just left something in the car.
So how'd you know there was somebody in Seattle? Madame Raven knows all.
Ha! In other words, lucky guess.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Right.
Like you see something in there.
Do you see something in there? Yes.
I see you paying me ten dollars.
Why am I doing this? Because you are confused.
Because this man from your past, this Jonathan Whoa-whoa.
How'd you know his name? Did somebody put you up to this? This man is still very much on your mind.
True? Yes.
True.
I mean, I really care about Brandon, you know, but we're total opposites.
And this other guy, we I don't know we just have so much in common, and Oh, I'm so confused, I really, I I don't know what to do.
It is fading.
That is all I see.
The rest you have to see for yourself.
Of course, for another ten dollars, anything is possible.
You know, I got to tell you, with everything you and Dylan have been up against, you really have made it work.
I'm glad for you.
Thank you.
Antonia.
Dad, this is Brandon.
Brandon, this is my father.
How do you do? Talk to you later, Toni.
Bye, Brandon.
You wanted to see me, here I am.
Okay, all right.
I behaved badly the other day.
We both did.
Come home with me now, and we'll forget about the whole thing.
I'm not ten years old.
You can't order me around anymore.
Antonia, you're still young, and you don't have to settle.
Believe me.
There'll be others besides Dylan.
I don't want others.
I want Dylan.
And I want something from you.
I want you to look me in the eye and tell me the truth.
Did you kill Dylan's father? No.
Did you have him killed? Toni, what a question.
That's not a straight answer, Dad.
Look don't get into this.
You don't know the first thing about Jack McKay.
You don't know what kind of man he was.
You don't know why he was killed.
I don't care what kind of person he was or why he was killed.
All I care about is if you had anything to do with it.
Now you never lied to me, and I know you won't lie to me now.
Did you have Jack McKay killed? What is it? What did he say? You were right about him, Dylan.
You come to see me at my daughter's wedding.
Oh, Steve Martin, Father of the Bride.
No, no, no.
Someday and this day may never come I may come to you and ask you for a favor.
Oh, right, I-I know this one.
What the hell is he doing? Overacting? Doing the Godfather.
Oh, well, thank you, Keats.
Well, you are my favorite animated feminist.
Oh, wait a second.
I'm not a cartoon.
I'm the historical figure Pocahontas.
I do not sing, I do not like wind.
Well, I'm glad we got that straight.
You know, Pokey, uh, maybe you and I should go get our fortune told.
Well, no! I-I mean, it's-it's, uh, it's just such a waste of time.
Well, you'll have to excuse me if I indulge myself.
I have to see if you're gonna do a rain dance for me later.
Ahoy, matey.
Hey.
There's a devil on my shoulder.
And here I thought you were an angel.
Shh.
I'm undercover tonight.
So what do we really want to know about? I know.
How about how the Supreme Court's gonna rule in upcoming decisions.
How about our relationship? Would you settle for who's gonna win the Super Bowl? Well, if the fix is in, I want to know about it.
Oh! Something still stands in the way.
Something hidden.
A feeling for someone? Well, it's not Kelly, 'cause I'm over her.
Madame Raven did not say it was a woman who stood in the way.
Well, thank you so much for your insights.
We'll be going now.
I see it now.
Yes.
It is not a person who stands in the way.
It is something else.
It is truth.
That's all I see.
Five bucks for her to tell me you're not Pocahontas.
That's interesting.
Well, that was pretty generic.
Ah, I guess you were right about it being a waste of money.
Jonathan Casten.
The editor of The Condor last year.
What about him? The guy The one standing in the way.
You mean, you two I thought you had a thing against office romances.
I do.
Now.
Because of him.
And how come you never told me about him? Because he's ancient history.
Look, there was a time when he meant a lot to me.
And when he moved to Seattle, I did miss him a lot, you know.
But then I met you and What was that for? For telling me the truth.
Okay, it's that time.
No sign of Kelly.
Well, some things you've got to do alone.
Uh, greetings and, uh thank you all for coming tonight for the unveiling of the Peach Pit After Dark's new mural, painted by a gifted artist and an old friend of mine, Colin Robbins.
Thanks, Valerie.
And thank you all for coming tonight.
The mural is called "Kelly's New York.
" I just wish the person who inspired me to paint this was here.
Um anyway, enjoy.
Nice mural.
Nice costume.
You, too.
Funny, we both seem to have the Western motif happening.
Is it synchronicity or did you check with Donna? I checked with Donna.
Uh-huh.
Want to dance? Trick or treat! Wow, trick or treat, I guess! All right, here we go, we got chocolate, we got lollipops, we got bubble gum.
It's sugarless, don't worry about it.
Ooh, look at the cat.
Nice.
You should've had a better lawyer.
Here, take some extra.
There you go.
Think you got enough there, slim? - It's a long trail, go ahead.
- Bye.
All right, knock yourself out.
See you.
Trouble, come on.
Hey, come on, lighten up.
She's just playing a little bit.
I know she's just playing.
Can we stop getting the door for the rest of the night? Okay, but, uh, we got two bowls of candy left here.
Just set them out on the porch.
What happened to all your Halloween spirit? I was just thinking about my father.
I loved him so much.
I idolized him.
Now, I'm so ashamed of him.
I don't know, I I'm just afraid of what could happen to us.
I'm not.
And you can't blame yourself for things that your father's done.
You just, you gotta you gotta let it go.
I did.
Now, the night is young and to quote a very wise woman I once knew, "You are going to join the living, whether you want to or not.
" So come on.
- Okay.
- All right.
All right, I'll be a witch.
If one more person comes up and tells me that Clare and I look like a couple, I'm gonna throttle them.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Hey, I Dream of Jeannie and Major Nelson.
- That's a great couple's costume.
- David! We're not a couple, okay? Please, we're not a couple.
Look, I am not Major Nelson.
This happens to be the official Apollo 13 uniform.
Apollo 13? They wore space uniforms, you buffoon.
Look, this is their dress uniform, okay, Einstein.
Mm-hmm, okay, Major Nelson.
You know what, you guys duke it out, me and David are just going to make the rounds, okay? Shall we go? Okay.
You don't waste any time, do you? You don't waste any time at all.
Ray, I thought we talked about this.
No, you talked about it.
What about what I have to say? I love you, Donna, and I'm willing to change for you.
But all you can do is trash me.
Look, man, I'm giving you a warning.
This one's gonna cut your heart out.
I'm sorry.
I'm so embarrassed.
Don't be.
Look, can we forget that happened and just dance? We can try.
You want me to take you home? I feel weird.
I think it's hot in here.
It is hot in here.
Maybe we should get some air.
Better yet, maybe we should just sneak into the dressing room, crank up the air conditioning? All right.
Here you go.
Full payment for a job well done.
Earned every penny.
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
I got to go.
Well, it looks like you have a new patron of the arts? Yeah, unfortunately, the kind of money Valerie pays isn't gonna support me in the style to which I've become accustomed.
Well, maybe you should change your style.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing.
Remember that teaching assistant position at C.
U.
? - Mm-hmm.
- Well, I'm going to take it, if they'll have me.
What's gotten into you? You've gotten into me.
Well, I'm glad to see I'm having a positive effect.
I like that.
Let me crank this up.
Yeah, it'll be better in a second.
You know, I've been thinking.
About that night in the hotel room.
Yeah, me, too.
Clare, it's not like, uh, I'm not attracted to you, I am.
And I'm attracted to you, too.
I just don't think we'd work as a couple.
No, I mean, you're a typical, male-chauvinist, frat guy.
And you're a self-righteous, stuck up snob.
We'd hate each other.
I hate you now.
Not as much as I hate you.
- You want to? - Uh-huh.
I thought you'd never ask.
Come here.
You sure go all out.
Yeah, my roommate and her boyfriend must have done it.
They're beautiful, aren't they? Yeah, they are.
And so are you.
Which is part of what makes what I'm going to say so hard.
Maybe I should back off, give you some space.
What do you mean? Just what happened at the party with your ex.
I figure that maybe right now is not the, uh the best time to start something up.
I'm sorry.
Ray, what are you doing here? I was waiting for you.
Look, I'm sorry that I lost my head.
Let me explain.
No, you know, you can't keep coming back here trying to explain things away.
Come on, Donna, I want this to work, okay? What do you think of all the pumpkins? I lit them all up for you.
And then you spied on me.
Ray, it is over.
Over! What is wrong with you that you can't understand that? What's wrong with me? You were the one out there acting - like a little slut tonight.
- How dare you.
Look, he is not the one for you.
We belong together.
I do not want to talk to you anymore.
I'm going inside.
- Do not turn your back on me, all right? - Ow! - Let go! - Not until you at least listen to me.
She said let go.
Hey, take a hike, Captain Hook.
Ow, Ray, you're hurting me.
Did you hear me? How's it feel to be on the receiving end? That's enough, please.
Doesn't feel too good, does it? This isn't over.
It's over.
It's over.
Thanks.
No problem.
For everything.
I'd hate to think what would have happened if I didn't come back.
Yeah, me, too.
Are you sure you're all right? Yeah.
But I'm curious.
What made you come back? On my way back to my car, I uh, I changed my mind about something.
What? That stuff I said before.
About giving you time and space to work things out with your ex.
That was my fear talking.
Well, I'm not so scary.
You'd know that if you knew me better.
I'd like that.
Well, the party was a big hit tonight.
I couldn't have done it without you.
Why are we doing this? Because I like you.
Why else? I don't know.
Guilt Ioneliness Madame Raven's love potion.
You didn't.
Yeah.
That is so sweet.
So, is it me or the potion? David, there is no such thing as a love potion, okay? Okay.
Hey.
Hey, Steve, am I mistaken, or did you have company last night? Yeah, not that it's any of your business, but Clare stayed over.
I don't know what got into us.
Must've been something you drank.
Yeah, well, it must've been something pretty strong to do what I did.
Sounds like Madame Raven's love potion to me.
Love potion? Mm-hmm.
Hey, Nat.
What happened to Madame Raven? She did what all fortune-tellers do, she disappeared without a trace and without paying her bill.
Pardon me.
Are you the owner? Yeah.
Well, maybe you can help me out.
Have you ever seen this woman before? She goes by the name of Madame Raven and sells some kind of bogus love potion.
No license to vend, and to tell you the truth, we don't know what the hell is in that stuff.
Anyone seen her? There was a report that she was around.
No, not me.
Can't help you, Officer.
Well, thanks for your time.
You guys believe that? Arresting a fortune-teller on Halloween? That's like hauling Santa Claus in on Christmas.
Or dropping a dime on the Easter Bunny for egg fraud.
Well, I, uh, I happened to manage to hold on to one bottle of it.
How much you want for that? It's not for sale.
Oh, everything's for sale.
No, not to you.
Oh, come on, I could use a bottle of that.
I'm gonna have to go ugly early.
That's true, but you're not gonna get it.
My father died right there.
And this is where I stood.
Why'd you want to come here, Dylan? I don't know.
I just had to see it one more time before I let it go.
Do you think you can really do that? We can't stay here.
We got to move.
Where do we go? Well, the good thing about that is, we've got a whole lifetime to fill up.
We can go anywhere you want.
I want warm weather, beautiful scenery It sounds to me like you want Hawaii.
Hawaii, what's in Hawaii? My mom, my sister.
Sun, sand, surf.
And what about school? We'll get you enrolled in one as soon as we get there.
Me? Yeah, don't worry about me.
I am gonna do something with my life.
So, what do you say? I say you'd better answer my question first.
Can you really let it all go? So, what do you say now? - Aloha.
- Aloha.
Mm-hmm.
