Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s06e09 Episode Script
Earthquake Weather
Mm, mm-mm-mm.
Would you look at this coastline.
I cannot believe there's any beachfront left to be had.
I kind of like this one.
No, you don't want something like that.
You know what, I'm gonna build something from the ground up.
You know, something we can design ourselves with a fireman's pole and sliding board, That's a lot of time, and a lot of work.
Well, we'll take our time and do it right.
Buy the beachfront property, rent someplace close.
You make it sound really easy.
Only because it is.
It's a big commitment, though.
So? I'm not afraid of a big commitment.
In fact, I was even thinking of making a bigger commitment than that.
Yeah, what's that? Oh, I was thinking about getting married.
Really? Anyone special? Not really, just this girl I know.
The thing is, I don't know if she's into it.
I guess you'll never know unless you ask her.
Yep, I guess you're right.
Marry me.
That wasn't a question, and you're not down on one knee.
Well, you've got a point.
I do love you.
Will you marry me? Yes, I will.
So what if the calendar says it's November.
The thermometer just topped Jack, how long have you been living in L.
A.
? It doesn't matter what month it is, it's beach weather, and we're dressed for it.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
We're doing our show, naked.
I wish I could go to Pasadena naked.
If it's a 100 downtown, it's going to be like a 110 in Pasadena.
Well, the good news is, there'll be 24 other Rose Princess wannabes melting with you.
Got it.
What is with the dress? Why, why do you keep wearing it? All the girls wear the same dress.
It's good luck.
Okay.
Got it, - Ray.
- Hey.
Bad luck.
Hi, Donna.
Ray, what happened to your arm? What do you mean, what happened to my arm? You were there.
Your friend Joe did this to me.
I'm sorry, but he was just looking out for me.
Look, I didn't come down here to make a big deal about it.
What I did to you was wrong and I know it and I've started therapy.
- You did? - Yeah.
I'm proud of you.
But I need to ask you a favor.
What? My therapist thinks it'd be a good idea if you'd come down and meet with the two of us.
Why? Well, I guess she wants to, you know, get your point of view.
She thinks it'll help.
Did you tell her we broke up? Yes.
I don't know.
Donna, this is really important to me.
Please.
All right.
When? Pico Medical Center.
Dr.
Doreen Phillips.
I'll meet you there.
Thanks.
I really appreciate it.
See ya.
Bye.
Are you out of your mind? Clare, he's trying.
Look, everybody deserves a little help.
Especially when they're trying to get well.
I know, I know, Donna, but I don't know, I just, I could never do it.
Maybe if he gets better, it'll save another girl from getting hurt.
If you ask me you're just going to get sucked into this whole thing all over again.
You know, this was an incredible idea.
You are far more romantic than I ever gave you credit for.
It's not romance, it's pragmatism.
I figured since we have to be here for the newspaper convention, I figured why not spend the day at the pool and the night in the rack? You know, I don't think we're gonna make it to the pool.
Oh, yes, we are because I'm going to put on my trunks and grab some towels right now.
You know, I take back what I said.
You're not romantic at all.
- Got a jackknifed big - It's gonna be another hot one Come on down to Crazy Chucks VCR's, cameras, cam What are you talking about? There's no such thing as earthquake weather.
Then how come every time we have a big earthquake, it happens when it's hot, just like this? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Could you put on some music? I hate these guys.
You don't like Jack and Mack? I'm right, you are nuts.
And you are dressed.
Very slow, Keats.
No.
Very fast.
Oh, I like that.
Hey, why don't we focus on some indoor sports for the moment? We could uh, we could maybe do some Greco-Roman wrestling.
I heard about this new move, it's called the beasts with two backs have you ever heard of it? Too bad, you lost your chance.
I'm going to the pool.
Race ya, Wait a minute, do me a favor, put this on, or we'll never make it to the elevator.
You know, I never thought I'd be such a convert.
I mean, I love L.
A.
I still can't get over the palm trees and the size of the supermarkets.
Do you know how cold it is in New York today? And they're expecting snow.
I know.
Remind me never to go back.
Plus, I gotta tell you.
This teaching thing, it's gonna be all right.
It's actually kind of inspiring.
Oh, yeah, you just like the pretty, young, art students.
No, I'm serious.
I mean, I have time for my own work, and I like teaching.
Good.
How's that? It's good.
It's very good.
You know how sometimes there are moments in life that are just perfect, when everything comes together exactly as it should? Yeah.
This is one of those times.
Hey.
Hey.
You want to eat before we get into math? Nah.
Val's making egg salad.
I'm not hungry.
I'm just trying to be nice.
Clare, you don't have to try to be nice, Sorry, must be my nature.
All right, so, it's not, but I can try, can't I? Want to play a ball? No.
I'll just watch you.
I'm going for a record.
I'm gonna make the earth shake.
From what I recall, you kind of already have.
From what I recall, we were drugged.
As if that love potion was real.
Well, if it wasn't a love potion, then why'd we do it? I don't know unbridled passion.
Things that go bump in the night.
Hey! You want to make the earth shake, hang out with me.
I'm so weak.
You sure have a way with egg salad.
Thank you.
You know, the secret's in the relish.
I know how to use just the right amount.
Mmm, can't wait to see what you do with ham and cheese.
I can't take it anymore.
What are we waiting for? David, I told you.
I just, I want it to be right.
I don't want to rush into anything this time.
You call this rushing? How long are you planning on waiting? Well, how about until tonight? I think I can make it that long.
Fill it in a little bit.
Come on down.
- Okay.
- Okay, move in a little bit tighter on the right.
All right, oh, gosh, try not to wilt, ladies.
I know it's hot.
Keep smiling.
Remember, chins up just a little bit.
- That looks great, yeah.
- There, good.
Hold that.
- Great.
- Great.
Good, that's it.
Good, wonderful, nice and tall, way to go.
I think I'm going to dissolve.
So much for waterproof mascara.
Okay, ladies, final interviews are tomorrow.
If you have any questions to what time you're supposed to be here, go ahead and ask the secretary.
Thank you, guys.
I sure hope they scheduled me early, or I'll never make it to work.
Well, I don't know how you do it.
School, job, and this.
At least it's air- conditioned at work.
Speaking of which, I'd better get out of this dress and get into my oh-so-glamorous uniform.
- I'll come with you.
- Yeah, okay.
- Hi, Donna.
- Hey.
So, next time I come to your store, do I get a discount on gum? No, but I've got the best slushie machine in town.
Have you looked at these pictures? Oh, gosh, just be glad we don't have to dress like that.
Well, 20 years from now, girls are gonna be looking at pictures of us and thinking we look just as weird.
Speak for yourself, girlfriend my beauty is eternal.
Oh, wow.
What's the matter? This this woman, she looks just like my mother.
All you blondes look alike to me.
Oh, funny.
I mean it.
She's, like, the spitting image.
Donna.
Someone's here to see you.
It's, uh, your favorite quarterback.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
You okay? No.
She doesn't just look like my mother.
I think it is my mother.
- Hi.
- Hey, gorgeous.
What are you doing here? I was in the neighborhood.
Uh, since when is Pasadena even close to your neighborhood? All right, busted.
How about I take my favorite Rose Princess out to lunch? Well, I'm not a princess yet.
But I can't I have an appointment.
Oh.
Where are you going? I, uh I told Ray I'd go with him to see his therapist.
Why? Look, we're not getting back together, if that's what you're thinking.
Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, he almost hit you the other night.
I just want to see him get help.
Well you have to do what you have to do.
And I have to do what I have to do.
What's that? How about we get our stuff over to the booth and grab some lunch? - How about some room service? - That's a good idea.
We can eat on the terrace overlooking the ocean.
Or we can eat on the bed overlooking the television.
I hear there's a Jim Nabors film festival on today.
It could be really exciting.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Earthquake! Let's go! Go, go! Come on! Go, go, go! - What's happening? - It's an earthquake.
Dylan, hold on to me! Dylan What the hell is going on? It's an earthquake.
Come on, get under the table.
It's over.
Are you okay? Colin? Forget everything I said.
I hate L.
A.
What was that? Earthquake at least, - I think it was.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, are you okay? Yeah, I-I think so.
It's dead.
Nothing.
Well, then I guess all we can do is wait.
I'm sure they'll get us out of here, really.
Hi.
I'm Brandon Walsh, and this is, uh, Susan Keats.
- Hi.
- Ellen.
Ellen Marks.
So, Ellen exactly how pregnant are you? I'm due next week.
Oh, my husband, he's gonna freak when he can't find me.
Oh, no, I'm sure they'll, they'll get us out of here soon.
Hello?! Anybody?! We're in here! We're stuck! Ooh Oh, my goodness.
What? What's wrong? My water broke.
How you doing? I'm okay so far.
I'm a little scared, though.
Well, that makes three of us.
I don't want to make things worse, but, um, my last child came pretty quickly.
I was only in labor for a couple of hours.
I'm sure they're gonna get us out of here - before anything like that happens.
- Yeah.
I'm sure they just have to reprogram the elevator computer or something.
The elevator computer? No such thing as earthquake weather, huh? What was that? Well, according to reports from Cal Tech, what we had measured 6.
2 on the Richter scale.
But seriously, folks, there is no such thing as earthquake weather.
Daddy, hi.
I was just calling to tell you I'm fine.
- Thank goodness! - Yeah, I'm driving in the car, I didn't even feel it.
I'm coming back from Pasadena.
We sure felt it here this place is a mess.
Are you guys okay? Well, yeah shaken but not stirred.
Dad, I got to ask you something about Mom.
Donna? I can't hear y Are you there? Donna? Hello? Dad, it's about Mom.
I thought I saw a picture of her.
Hello? Daddy? I can take anything else storms, fires, floods at least you get a warning.
Yeah, well, try living on the side of a volcano, see how that grabs you.
Hello? Bruno? - You two okay? - Yeah, we're fine.
- How about you? - Not a nick.
And Dad? He's out of town San Francisco.
But he's already called to find out if you were okay.
Hold on a sec.
Think we should tell him? Yeah, he'll find out sooner or later.
Bruno, are you sitting down? Why? What are you talking about? We're getting married.
Speechless is good.
I'm, uh just a little shocked, that's all.
But I'm really happy for you.
Good.
You'd better be.
Your father'll be home tomorrow.
Okay.
I'll call him then.
Bye.
Now comes the hard part we have to tell my father.
If I were you, I would let Bruno worry about that.
What were you saying about living on the edge of a volcano? That it was fabulous, and it was hot.
It'd be the place where I would take you away.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Oh, watch your step.
- Oh, my God.
- Ugh! What a mess.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Hey, how's the loft? We lucked out.
I mean, some stuff broke, but then again, I don't have many breakables.
Except, of course, me.
You scared, huh? So am I.
No earthquakes in Buffalo.
Ah, but you took it like a pro.
Has anybody heard from Brandon and Susan? Yeah.
Actually, I called through the hotel, and they rang up to the room, but there was no answer.
So I guess they're okay.
They said there was no damage, just no lights.
- Have you heard from Donna? - Oh, yeah.
She was in the car when it hit she didn't feel a thing.
I told her to come over here later.
You know, we should just spend the night.
You know, throw some blankets on the living room floor.
Well, we bought enough food to feed an army.
A quake party.
Might as well make the best of it.
Uh, dead batteries.
Listen, I'm gonna go out to the garage.
Jim and Cindy have a quake kit.
Did you feel that? I don't know, I'm not sure.
Well, whatever, I'm coming with you.
I need to be somewhere where the roof can't fall on my head.
Okay.
Did you see the look on his face? I don't think he's ever gonna want to come back inside.
You and Valerie seem to be getting along well.
Oh, I don't think this is the right time to start that conversation.
Well, I wouldn't be a very good sister if I didn't say something.
Look, Kel, she was there for me when I needed her, and, uh, she's been there for me ever since.
Well, she always has an agenda.
You remember that, David.
Give it a rest.
We just had an earthquake.
I'm glad you could come, Donna.
After that rattler, I didn't think I'd be seeing any patients today.
Well, Ray said it was important.
It is.
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Ray wanted you to be here today, not only because I have some questions about your relationship, but because he felt you deserved some explanation.
Thank you.
I know Ray hasn't talked to you much about his family background.
But he and I have discussed his father quite a bit.
A lot of Ray's behavior started with a very violent and fear-filled childhood.
Your father hit you? Well, I was little, but, uh, I remember.
I was really scared of him.
I'm sorry.
That shouldn't happen to any kid.
When young children are abused by their parents, they're robbed of the love and security that they need to thrive and become healthy adults.
Ray, could you please give Donna and me a moment alone? Sure.
Donna I want you to know that breaking a lifelong pattern of abuse is a very slow process.
Ray is not going to change overnight.
Well, I hope you can help him.
But I have to tell you, Dr.
Phillips, I can't stay with him anymore.
I know Ray's told me how you feel.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Actually, this therapy has a much better chance of succeeding without you.
Really? I've been feeling so guilty.
That's very common.
But Ray has to deal with this on his own.
Now, I am professionally obligated to warn you that Ray is very unpredictable right now.
Kind of like that earthquake we just had.
If you spend time with him, you are risking a potentially dangerous situation.
Hey, how are you guys doing in there? Uh, uh, so far, so good, but you'd better get us out of here, 'cause I don't know nothin' about birthin' babies.
I have a paramedic on the way up, just in case.
Now, we're switching over to the emergency generator now, and we had to reprogram the elevator computer.
I told you so.
Ah, here we go.
We have liftoff.
What just happened? We got a problem.
No kidding.
The backup generator keeps shutting down.
We're working on it, but the Department of Water and Power says it could be a few more hours till this part of the grid goes back on-line.
What, what? What, what, what, what? Don't worry.
We're gonna get through this.
Ah, looks like we're gonna have a baby.
Well, Jim and Cindy do have an earthquake kit all right.
The only problem is, it was buried behind a garage full of junk.
Are Val and I the only ones who think it's a good idea to be prepared? No, everyone thinks it.
You two are the only ones that actually do it.
I can't stand this.
Didn't you feel that last one? Colin, it was an aftershock.
They're gonna happen all day.
You guys are standing here chopping vegetables, and every once in a while, the ground rearranges itself like it's no big deal.
It's like, it's like - The Twi/ight Zone in here.
- You'll get used to it.
No, I don't think so.
Earthquakes I'll never get used to.
Have you ever thought about doing it during an earthquake? What hot-blooded Angeleno hasn't? Clare, there's a house full of people.
Well, we could make the earth move quietly.
So quiet, it's like we're not doing anything at all.
We don't have to be that quiet.
Brandon, can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, I can hear you! I've got a medic here, and I've briefed him.
Hi, Brandon.
Hi, Ellen.
My name is Paul.
Paul, are you gonna get us through this? You bet.
I've delivered lots of babies in some pretty strange places, but this is my first elevator.
Ours, too.
I'm gonna talk you through this.
We're just gonna let nature take its course.
You guys are gonna do great.
What if nature goes off course? I don't even want to think about it.
This is already too much for me.
I told you we should have stayed at the hotel.
I want my husband! Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.
Just talk to me, just tell me about your husband.
He's, he's a wonderful guy.
He's smart and he's handsome.
He was supposed to be here for this.
Talk to me about your kids.
Brian is nine and Kate's four.
They're both really excited about the baby.
I'm so sorry I ruined your day.
You didn't ruin our day.
You just made it a little more interesting, that's all.
A lot more interesting.
I saw you at the pool.
I like your bikini.
Maybe I'll get back into one someday.
All right, her contractions are coming fast; only a few minutes apart.
Okay, then, Ellen, relax and remember your breathing.
Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.
We're gonna get you through this.
You're gonna be fine, okay? You guys are are so nice.
Thank you.
It's open! Hi.
Hey, Donna.
Hey.
How's everyone holding up? Well, I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but Kelly says I'll get used to it.
Oh, can you believe the apartment? It's like the whole neighborhood had an earthquake and not one thing in that place moved.
I know.
Just one cracked window.
The strangest thing happened to me today.
What could be stranger than the random redecorating we had this morning? Well, I'm at the Tournament House, I'm looking through photos of the old Rose Court.
I flip the page and there among the 25 finalists in 1969 is my mom.
- You're kidding.
- No.
But she never even said anything about it.
She's been so negative about me being involved.
Hmm maybe it was just someone who looks like your mom.
No.
Knowing Felice, that's much too simple of an explanation.
No, Kelly's right.
It was her.
I mean, I would know my own mom.
I'll get it Happy earthquake.
Oh! - Hi, Kelly.
- Hi.
Same to you.
How you doing? Good.
- Everybody else? - Yeah.
Hey, D, what's up? How'd the house hold up? Well, actually, you know, it went through the Long Beach quake, the Sylmar quake, the popular Northridge quake, and now the biggest jolt of all.
It's not the biggest earthquake we've ever had.
I wasn't talking about the Richter scale, Donna.
What are you talking about? We're getting married.
What? Yep.
You heard the lady.
Ah, but I'm not sure I did.
Stud.
Hey, congratulations, you two! Thank you.
I'm really happy for both of you.
Thanks, Kel.
I knew you would be.
Where's Brandon? Uh, actually, he and Susan picked a great weekend for the retreat at the beach hotel.
Yeah, I think the power's still down.
Well, it looks like tonight's dinner has a theme: Dylan bites the dust.
Well, let's forget the plastic and bring out the china.
Yeah, whatever's left of it.
Are you guys gonna stay? Yeah.
Well, come on.
I need some help setting the dinning room table.
No problem.
So Dylan's getting married.
Yeah.
That wasn't easy for you, was it? No.
You did good.
Thanks.
Uh, hey, guys, listen up.
Nat just called.
He's got a huge crowd from the earthquake, and he lost a lot of dishes.
He said dinner's on him, if we'll give him a hand.
Can't say no to Nat.
Okay.
It won't be long now.
- Is the face up or down? - Down! Good.
Now listen to me, Brandon.
Keep your hands on the head, and Ellen, you just keep bearing down.
It's almost over.
I can't do this! I can't! Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, if I can do this, you can do this.
Come on now.
Come on.
You can do this.
You can do this.
All right, I can see the shoulders.
Gently pull them down.
It's twisting! That's okay.
Let it.
Make sure to guide it under the pelvic bone and hold on.
It's slippery.
Ellen, come on, I need one more big push out of you.
Come on.
Give me one big push.
Here we go.
Okay.
It's okay, you did it, Ellen, you did it.
You did it.
You did it.
You did it.
It's a boy.
We're moving! Say hello to your son.
Oh, oh, oh, hello, little Brandon.
Hello, little Brandon.
Number 11, pick it up.
Nat, we're backing up here.
All right, all right.
Okay, keep going.
Joe, hi.
What are you doing here? The cafeterias dorms are closed.
How long's the wait? Um, I can squeeze you in.
Dylan, do me a favor.
Take the trash out in the back.
It's starting to pile up.
- I got it.
- Thanks.
How'd it go with the therapist today? Better than I expected.
Good.
I hope you're right, but if I know guys, he's just using this therapy thing as a plot to get you back.
Yeah, well, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Do you realize that if that shelf fell down, we'd be crushed by canned tomatoes? Would you relax, Chicken Little? The sky is not falling.
- Tell you what, Henny Penny.
- What? I'm sleeping outside tonight.
Want to keep me company? All right.
Hi.
You and Toni have the right idea: Hawaii.
I'd love to move to Hawaii tomorrow.
It's a big state.
I'll be back in a minute.
How could you just waltz in and make your big announcement like it was no big deal? What are you talking about? You didn't think of my feelings? - Yes, I did.
- Oh, well, thank you for being so sensitive, then.
You want sensitive? I'm sorry, Kelly.
Soul mates.
Right.
Tell me something.
Where was Toni when we were hanging out together in your past life? I don't know.
Maybe it never happened.
Maybe it did.
What I know is, I love her, I love her right now.
Yeah, well, I'm happy for you.
Yeah, you sound thrilled, Kel.
How am I supposed to sound? I don't know, but I asked you first, remember? You said no.
You said you had other plans.
You see, you, you chose you.
I want to hate her so bad but I can't.
She seems really nice.
I'm sorry.
I hope you'll both be very happy.
I hope so, too.
Maybe we each have more than one soul mate.
Yeah, maybe we do.
You must lead a charmed life.
Look at this place, not a scratch.
Well, maybe virtue has its rewards.
Then why is my dorm room such a disaster area? Hi, Donna.
Ray, what are you doing here? Well, when I called on the phone I didn't get an answer, and I saw your broken window and decided to board it up.
Look, I thought I made it clear this morning.
I do not want to see you anymore.
Look, I was just trying to help.
Don't you listen? She doesn't need your help.
Hey, was I talking to you? Ray, please, will you just leave? Fine.
Fix it yourself.
Joe, please, just let him go.
Come on.
I'm taking you back to Brandon's.
- You sleep okay? - Mm Mm-hmm.
My nightmares are during the day now.
Well, it's over.
I hope you're right.
Well, what do you have to say about earthquake weather now, Jack? An anomaly.
It wasn't an anomaly.
It was an earthquake.
Three miles offshore, due west of downtown Santa Monica.
Enough already.
How many times can they say the same thing? Did you feel all the aftershocks in the middle of the night? Uh-uh.
Slept right through.
So I noticed.
You know, we actually slept together last night.
Valerie, that's not what I meant.
I want to make love to you.
If you can't, that's fine.
But don't make jokes about it.
I'm sorry, it was just bad timing, I guess.
Yeah, chalk it up to a natural disaster.
Sorry to interrupt.
Wow, you and Colin actually slept outside last night? You'd be surprised how comfortable a chaise lounge can be.
All right, well, uh, I'm going to take a shower, okay? Bye.
David, I just want to say that I'm sorry about what I said about you and Valerie.
It's none of my business.
Yeah, you're right, but that's no big deal.
I really don't care what you say.
I'm crazy about her.
Hey.
Well, I called school.
No classes today.
They have to inspect all the buildings.
Where's Joe? Did I see his feet sticking out from a blanket around here last night? Are you kidding? He can't sleep anywhere but the dorm.
The whole team has a curfew.
You know, I think you've got a keeper, Donna.
Thanks.
I think so, too.
So, are you going to Pasadena? Want me to go with you? Thanks, but I think this is something I want to do by myself.
You know what, I'm really proud of you.
No matter what happens, you really went for it.
Okay, the talk all day is, where were you when the little one hit? We brought a life into this world.
Can you believe it? No.
I can't.
I was completely terrified, you know.
But when I saw you put that baby in his mother's arms, it was really the most wonderful feeling I've ever had.
I'll never forget that.
What do you think the chances are we'll ever do anything like that again? Um, gee, people do it every day.
Ever heard of marriage and children? Sure, but not in elevators.
I'm really proud of you.
You were really great.
Well, you were no slouch yourself, Keats.
Maybe I could keep you around for a while.
You know, just in case I have any emergencies.
Kind of like a spare set of fresh batteries, huh? - Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm.
I've got some fresh batteries for you.
As you know, the theme of this year's Tournament of Roses is "Kids, Hopes and Dreams.
" All of us here at the Tournament House wish you good luck.
Number 675, your question is: What can we as individuals do to insure that our children, and every child, can realize their hopes and their dreams? That's a very interesting question.
No, I'm wrong.
It's a very tragic question.
I never realized until recently just how fragile children are.
You see, I know this man who was hit so often when he was a child, he grew up thinking it was normal.
And now that he's a man, whenever he gets angry, he hits.
I know this because he hit me.
Children are filled with so many hopes and dreams, but their futures are built on our love.
We must protect our children's hearts, or their souls can be damaged forever.
I'd like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
You've helped fulfill one of my dreams.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, sweetheart.
We meet again.
Yes.
Nice to see you.
I see the earthquake didn't hit you too hard.
No.
Nothing can take down this house.
It's built like a fortress.
So this must be the bunker, then? Let's just say I have a lot to protect.
We have some very important news for you.
Yes, I already know.
Bruno's already told me.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you myself.
No no, I'm glad he did.
It gave me time to get over the shock.
Your blessing would mean a lot to us.
What would you do, if you were me? I'm not you.
This was your mother's Bible.
She carried it down the aisle at our wedding.
Thank you.
I'm so glad that we could all find time to have lunch.
Your mom and I did not want to go off to Europe without spending a little time with you first.
Well, I've been very busy.
Yeah, haven't we all.
- Daddy - Yeah? I made it to the finals, the Tournament of Roses.
I had my last interview today.
I didn't know you were still doing that.
Why didn't you tell us? Well, Mom was so negative.
She didn't think I'd make it this far, I guess.
I just didn't want to give her the satisfaction.
Donna Maybe I thought she was right.
I guess maybe I didn't think I'd make it this far.
Maybe we should talk about this at lunch.
Just clear the air, okay? Hi.
I'm sorry I'm late.
The traffic on La Cienega was just awful.
Hi, sweetheart, Dr.
Martin, before you go.
Rosella wants you to take a look at Mr.
Ungar's cardiogram.
Okay, uh, just, just give me two seconds, sweetheart.
Sure.
Sweetheart, this is really a pretty dress.
You don't usually wear things that are so conservative.
Well, I thought it was appropriate for Pasadena.
Excuse me? I'm a Rose Court finalist, Mom.
I had my final interview today.
Well Why didn't you say something? Because you made it quite clear you didn't approve.
No, I don't.
Why not? 'Cause you didn't make the final cut? Excuse me? I was looking through a photo album at the Tournament House yesterday.
You were a contestant in 1969, weren't you? I don't know what you're talking about, Donna.
You know, you're a terrible liar, Mom.
Although I can't imagine for the life of me - why you'd lie about - You're mistaken, Donna.
No, I'm not mistaken.
I saw the picture.
I know what my own mother Look, if you would like to do this Rose Bowl thing, fine, fine.
Far be it for me to stand in your way.
Is that all you have to say? Good luck.
So, are my girls ready for lunch? I'm not going, Daddy.
I don't really feel much like lunch right now.
What happened? She saw my picture, John.
The Rose Bowl picture? Well, you're gonna have to tell her the truth.
I can't.
We can't.
Think of what that would mean to her.
She's a big girl, Felice.
I think she can handle it.
Maybe, but I don't know if I can.
Damn it.
Dylan and Toni are gone.
Everything clear? Crystal.
No slip-ups.
No tracing it back.
I want him dead.
Don't worry.
It's a done deal.
Would you look at this coastline.
I cannot believe there's any beachfront left to be had.
I kind of like this one.
No, you don't want something like that.
You know what, I'm gonna build something from the ground up.
You know, something we can design ourselves with a fireman's pole and sliding board, That's a lot of time, and a lot of work.
Well, we'll take our time and do it right.
Buy the beachfront property, rent someplace close.
You make it sound really easy.
Only because it is.
It's a big commitment, though.
So? I'm not afraid of a big commitment.
In fact, I was even thinking of making a bigger commitment than that.
Yeah, what's that? Oh, I was thinking about getting married.
Really? Anyone special? Not really, just this girl I know.
The thing is, I don't know if she's into it.
I guess you'll never know unless you ask her.
Yep, I guess you're right.
Marry me.
That wasn't a question, and you're not down on one knee.
Well, you've got a point.
I do love you.
Will you marry me? Yes, I will.
So what if the calendar says it's November.
The thermometer just topped Jack, how long have you been living in L.
A.
? It doesn't matter what month it is, it's beach weather, and we're dressed for it.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
We're doing our show, naked.
I wish I could go to Pasadena naked.
If it's a 100 downtown, it's going to be like a 110 in Pasadena.
Well, the good news is, there'll be 24 other Rose Princess wannabes melting with you.
Got it.
What is with the dress? Why, why do you keep wearing it? All the girls wear the same dress.
It's good luck.
Okay.
Got it, - Ray.
- Hey.
Bad luck.
Hi, Donna.
Ray, what happened to your arm? What do you mean, what happened to my arm? You were there.
Your friend Joe did this to me.
I'm sorry, but he was just looking out for me.
Look, I didn't come down here to make a big deal about it.
What I did to you was wrong and I know it and I've started therapy.
- You did? - Yeah.
I'm proud of you.
But I need to ask you a favor.
What? My therapist thinks it'd be a good idea if you'd come down and meet with the two of us.
Why? Well, I guess she wants to, you know, get your point of view.
She thinks it'll help.
Did you tell her we broke up? Yes.
I don't know.
Donna, this is really important to me.
Please.
All right.
When? Pico Medical Center.
Dr.
Doreen Phillips.
I'll meet you there.
Thanks.
I really appreciate it.
See ya.
Bye.
Are you out of your mind? Clare, he's trying.
Look, everybody deserves a little help.
Especially when they're trying to get well.
I know, I know, Donna, but I don't know, I just, I could never do it.
Maybe if he gets better, it'll save another girl from getting hurt.
If you ask me you're just going to get sucked into this whole thing all over again.
You know, this was an incredible idea.
You are far more romantic than I ever gave you credit for.
It's not romance, it's pragmatism.
I figured since we have to be here for the newspaper convention, I figured why not spend the day at the pool and the night in the rack? You know, I don't think we're gonna make it to the pool.
Oh, yes, we are because I'm going to put on my trunks and grab some towels right now.
You know, I take back what I said.
You're not romantic at all.
- Got a jackknifed big - It's gonna be another hot one Come on down to Crazy Chucks VCR's, cameras, cam What are you talking about? There's no such thing as earthquake weather.
Then how come every time we have a big earthquake, it happens when it's hot, just like this? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Could you put on some music? I hate these guys.
You don't like Jack and Mack? I'm right, you are nuts.
And you are dressed.
Very slow, Keats.
No.
Very fast.
Oh, I like that.
Hey, why don't we focus on some indoor sports for the moment? We could uh, we could maybe do some Greco-Roman wrestling.
I heard about this new move, it's called the beasts with two backs have you ever heard of it? Too bad, you lost your chance.
I'm going to the pool.
Race ya, Wait a minute, do me a favor, put this on, or we'll never make it to the elevator.
You know, I never thought I'd be such a convert.
I mean, I love L.
A.
I still can't get over the palm trees and the size of the supermarkets.
Do you know how cold it is in New York today? And they're expecting snow.
I know.
Remind me never to go back.
Plus, I gotta tell you.
This teaching thing, it's gonna be all right.
It's actually kind of inspiring.
Oh, yeah, you just like the pretty, young, art students.
No, I'm serious.
I mean, I have time for my own work, and I like teaching.
Good.
How's that? It's good.
It's very good.
You know how sometimes there are moments in life that are just perfect, when everything comes together exactly as it should? Yeah.
This is one of those times.
Hey.
Hey.
You want to eat before we get into math? Nah.
Val's making egg salad.
I'm not hungry.
I'm just trying to be nice.
Clare, you don't have to try to be nice, Sorry, must be my nature.
All right, so, it's not, but I can try, can't I? Want to play a ball? No.
I'll just watch you.
I'm going for a record.
I'm gonna make the earth shake.
From what I recall, you kind of already have.
From what I recall, we were drugged.
As if that love potion was real.
Well, if it wasn't a love potion, then why'd we do it? I don't know unbridled passion.
Things that go bump in the night.
Hey! You want to make the earth shake, hang out with me.
I'm so weak.
You sure have a way with egg salad.
Thank you.
You know, the secret's in the relish.
I know how to use just the right amount.
Mmm, can't wait to see what you do with ham and cheese.
I can't take it anymore.
What are we waiting for? David, I told you.
I just, I want it to be right.
I don't want to rush into anything this time.
You call this rushing? How long are you planning on waiting? Well, how about until tonight? I think I can make it that long.
Fill it in a little bit.
Come on down.
- Okay.
- Okay, move in a little bit tighter on the right.
All right, oh, gosh, try not to wilt, ladies.
I know it's hot.
Keep smiling.
Remember, chins up just a little bit.
- That looks great, yeah.
- There, good.
Hold that.
- Great.
- Great.
Good, that's it.
Good, wonderful, nice and tall, way to go.
I think I'm going to dissolve.
So much for waterproof mascara.
Okay, ladies, final interviews are tomorrow.
If you have any questions to what time you're supposed to be here, go ahead and ask the secretary.
Thank you, guys.
I sure hope they scheduled me early, or I'll never make it to work.
Well, I don't know how you do it.
School, job, and this.
At least it's air- conditioned at work.
Speaking of which, I'd better get out of this dress and get into my oh-so-glamorous uniform.
- I'll come with you.
- Yeah, okay.
- Hi, Donna.
- Hey.
So, next time I come to your store, do I get a discount on gum? No, but I've got the best slushie machine in town.
Have you looked at these pictures? Oh, gosh, just be glad we don't have to dress like that.
Well, 20 years from now, girls are gonna be looking at pictures of us and thinking we look just as weird.
Speak for yourself, girlfriend my beauty is eternal.
Oh, wow.
What's the matter? This this woman, she looks just like my mother.
All you blondes look alike to me.
Oh, funny.
I mean it.
She's, like, the spitting image.
Donna.
Someone's here to see you.
It's, uh, your favorite quarterback.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
You okay? No.
She doesn't just look like my mother.
I think it is my mother.
- Hi.
- Hey, gorgeous.
What are you doing here? I was in the neighborhood.
Uh, since when is Pasadena even close to your neighborhood? All right, busted.
How about I take my favorite Rose Princess out to lunch? Well, I'm not a princess yet.
But I can't I have an appointment.
Oh.
Where are you going? I, uh I told Ray I'd go with him to see his therapist.
Why? Look, we're not getting back together, if that's what you're thinking.
Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, he almost hit you the other night.
I just want to see him get help.
Well you have to do what you have to do.
And I have to do what I have to do.
What's that? How about we get our stuff over to the booth and grab some lunch? - How about some room service? - That's a good idea.
We can eat on the terrace overlooking the ocean.
Or we can eat on the bed overlooking the television.
I hear there's a Jim Nabors film festival on today.
It could be really exciting.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Earthquake! Let's go! Go, go! Come on! Go, go, go! - What's happening? - It's an earthquake.
Dylan, hold on to me! Dylan What the hell is going on? It's an earthquake.
Come on, get under the table.
It's over.
Are you okay? Colin? Forget everything I said.
I hate L.
A.
What was that? Earthquake at least, - I think it was.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, are you okay? Yeah, I-I think so.
It's dead.
Nothing.
Well, then I guess all we can do is wait.
I'm sure they'll get us out of here, really.
Hi.
I'm Brandon Walsh, and this is, uh, Susan Keats.
- Hi.
- Ellen.
Ellen Marks.
So, Ellen exactly how pregnant are you? I'm due next week.
Oh, my husband, he's gonna freak when he can't find me.
Oh, no, I'm sure they'll, they'll get us out of here soon.
Hello?! Anybody?! We're in here! We're stuck! Ooh Oh, my goodness.
What? What's wrong? My water broke.
How you doing? I'm okay so far.
I'm a little scared, though.
Well, that makes three of us.
I don't want to make things worse, but, um, my last child came pretty quickly.
I was only in labor for a couple of hours.
I'm sure they're gonna get us out of here - before anything like that happens.
- Yeah.
I'm sure they just have to reprogram the elevator computer or something.
The elevator computer? No such thing as earthquake weather, huh? What was that? Well, according to reports from Cal Tech, what we had measured 6.
2 on the Richter scale.
But seriously, folks, there is no such thing as earthquake weather.
Daddy, hi.
I was just calling to tell you I'm fine.
- Thank goodness! - Yeah, I'm driving in the car, I didn't even feel it.
I'm coming back from Pasadena.
We sure felt it here this place is a mess.
Are you guys okay? Well, yeah shaken but not stirred.
Dad, I got to ask you something about Mom.
Donna? I can't hear y Are you there? Donna? Hello? Dad, it's about Mom.
I thought I saw a picture of her.
Hello? Daddy? I can take anything else storms, fires, floods at least you get a warning.
Yeah, well, try living on the side of a volcano, see how that grabs you.
Hello? Bruno? - You two okay? - Yeah, we're fine.
- How about you? - Not a nick.
And Dad? He's out of town San Francisco.
But he's already called to find out if you were okay.
Hold on a sec.
Think we should tell him? Yeah, he'll find out sooner or later.
Bruno, are you sitting down? Why? What are you talking about? We're getting married.
Speechless is good.
I'm, uh just a little shocked, that's all.
But I'm really happy for you.
Good.
You'd better be.
Your father'll be home tomorrow.
Okay.
I'll call him then.
Bye.
Now comes the hard part we have to tell my father.
If I were you, I would let Bruno worry about that.
What were you saying about living on the edge of a volcano? That it was fabulous, and it was hot.
It'd be the place where I would take you away.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Oh, watch your step.
- Oh, my God.
- Ugh! What a mess.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Hey, how's the loft? We lucked out.
I mean, some stuff broke, but then again, I don't have many breakables.
Except, of course, me.
You scared, huh? So am I.
No earthquakes in Buffalo.
Ah, but you took it like a pro.
Has anybody heard from Brandon and Susan? Yeah.
Actually, I called through the hotel, and they rang up to the room, but there was no answer.
So I guess they're okay.
They said there was no damage, just no lights.
- Have you heard from Donna? - Oh, yeah.
She was in the car when it hit she didn't feel a thing.
I told her to come over here later.
You know, we should just spend the night.
You know, throw some blankets on the living room floor.
Well, we bought enough food to feed an army.
A quake party.
Might as well make the best of it.
Uh, dead batteries.
Listen, I'm gonna go out to the garage.
Jim and Cindy have a quake kit.
Did you feel that? I don't know, I'm not sure.
Well, whatever, I'm coming with you.
I need to be somewhere where the roof can't fall on my head.
Okay.
Did you see the look on his face? I don't think he's ever gonna want to come back inside.
You and Valerie seem to be getting along well.
Oh, I don't think this is the right time to start that conversation.
Well, I wouldn't be a very good sister if I didn't say something.
Look, Kel, she was there for me when I needed her, and, uh, she's been there for me ever since.
Well, she always has an agenda.
You remember that, David.
Give it a rest.
We just had an earthquake.
I'm glad you could come, Donna.
After that rattler, I didn't think I'd be seeing any patients today.
Well, Ray said it was important.
It is.
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
Ray wanted you to be here today, not only because I have some questions about your relationship, but because he felt you deserved some explanation.
Thank you.
I know Ray hasn't talked to you much about his family background.
But he and I have discussed his father quite a bit.
A lot of Ray's behavior started with a very violent and fear-filled childhood.
Your father hit you? Well, I was little, but, uh, I remember.
I was really scared of him.
I'm sorry.
That shouldn't happen to any kid.
When young children are abused by their parents, they're robbed of the love and security that they need to thrive and become healthy adults.
Ray, could you please give Donna and me a moment alone? Sure.
Donna I want you to know that breaking a lifelong pattern of abuse is a very slow process.
Ray is not going to change overnight.
Well, I hope you can help him.
But I have to tell you, Dr.
Phillips, I can't stay with him anymore.
I know Ray's told me how you feel.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Actually, this therapy has a much better chance of succeeding without you.
Really? I've been feeling so guilty.
That's very common.
But Ray has to deal with this on his own.
Now, I am professionally obligated to warn you that Ray is very unpredictable right now.
Kind of like that earthquake we just had.
If you spend time with him, you are risking a potentially dangerous situation.
Hey, how are you guys doing in there? Uh, uh, so far, so good, but you'd better get us out of here, 'cause I don't know nothin' about birthin' babies.
I have a paramedic on the way up, just in case.
Now, we're switching over to the emergency generator now, and we had to reprogram the elevator computer.
I told you so.
Ah, here we go.
We have liftoff.
What just happened? We got a problem.
No kidding.
The backup generator keeps shutting down.
We're working on it, but the Department of Water and Power says it could be a few more hours till this part of the grid goes back on-line.
What, what? What, what, what, what? Don't worry.
We're gonna get through this.
Ah, looks like we're gonna have a baby.
Well, Jim and Cindy do have an earthquake kit all right.
The only problem is, it was buried behind a garage full of junk.
Are Val and I the only ones who think it's a good idea to be prepared? No, everyone thinks it.
You two are the only ones that actually do it.
I can't stand this.
Didn't you feel that last one? Colin, it was an aftershock.
They're gonna happen all day.
You guys are standing here chopping vegetables, and every once in a while, the ground rearranges itself like it's no big deal.
It's like, it's like - The Twi/ight Zone in here.
- You'll get used to it.
No, I don't think so.
Earthquakes I'll never get used to.
Have you ever thought about doing it during an earthquake? What hot-blooded Angeleno hasn't? Clare, there's a house full of people.
Well, we could make the earth move quietly.
So quiet, it's like we're not doing anything at all.
We don't have to be that quiet.
Brandon, can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, I can hear you! I've got a medic here, and I've briefed him.
Hi, Brandon.
Hi, Ellen.
My name is Paul.
Paul, are you gonna get us through this? You bet.
I've delivered lots of babies in some pretty strange places, but this is my first elevator.
Ours, too.
I'm gonna talk you through this.
We're just gonna let nature take its course.
You guys are gonna do great.
What if nature goes off course? I don't even want to think about it.
This is already too much for me.
I told you we should have stayed at the hotel.
I want my husband! Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.
Just talk to me, just tell me about your husband.
He's, he's a wonderful guy.
He's smart and he's handsome.
He was supposed to be here for this.
Talk to me about your kids.
Brian is nine and Kate's four.
They're both really excited about the baby.
I'm so sorry I ruined your day.
You didn't ruin our day.
You just made it a little more interesting, that's all.
A lot more interesting.
I saw you at the pool.
I like your bikini.
Maybe I'll get back into one someday.
All right, her contractions are coming fast; only a few minutes apart.
Okay, then, Ellen, relax and remember your breathing.
Ellen, Ellen, listen to me.
We're gonna get you through this.
You're gonna be fine, okay? You guys are are so nice.
Thank you.
It's open! Hi.
Hey, Donna.
Hey.
How's everyone holding up? Well, I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but Kelly says I'll get used to it.
Oh, can you believe the apartment? It's like the whole neighborhood had an earthquake and not one thing in that place moved.
I know.
Just one cracked window.
The strangest thing happened to me today.
What could be stranger than the random redecorating we had this morning? Well, I'm at the Tournament House, I'm looking through photos of the old Rose Court.
I flip the page and there among the 25 finalists in 1969 is my mom.
- You're kidding.
- No.
But she never even said anything about it.
She's been so negative about me being involved.
Hmm maybe it was just someone who looks like your mom.
No.
Knowing Felice, that's much too simple of an explanation.
No, Kelly's right.
It was her.
I mean, I would know my own mom.
I'll get it Happy earthquake.
Oh! - Hi, Kelly.
- Hi.
Same to you.
How you doing? Good.
- Everybody else? - Yeah.
Hey, D, what's up? How'd the house hold up? Well, actually, you know, it went through the Long Beach quake, the Sylmar quake, the popular Northridge quake, and now the biggest jolt of all.
It's not the biggest earthquake we've ever had.
I wasn't talking about the Richter scale, Donna.
What are you talking about? We're getting married.
What? Yep.
You heard the lady.
Ah, but I'm not sure I did.
Stud.
Hey, congratulations, you two! Thank you.
I'm really happy for both of you.
Thanks, Kel.
I knew you would be.
Where's Brandon? Uh, actually, he and Susan picked a great weekend for the retreat at the beach hotel.
Yeah, I think the power's still down.
Well, it looks like tonight's dinner has a theme: Dylan bites the dust.
Well, let's forget the plastic and bring out the china.
Yeah, whatever's left of it.
Are you guys gonna stay? Yeah.
Well, come on.
I need some help setting the dinning room table.
No problem.
So Dylan's getting married.
Yeah.
That wasn't easy for you, was it? No.
You did good.
Thanks.
Uh, hey, guys, listen up.
Nat just called.
He's got a huge crowd from the earthquake, and he lost a lot of dishes.
He said dinner's on him, if we'll give him a hand.
Can't say no to Nat.
Okay.
It won't be long now.
- Is the face up or down? - Down! Good.
Now listen to me, Brandon.
Keep your hands on the head, and Ellen, you just keep bearing down.
It's almost over.
I can't do this! I can't! Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, if I can do this, you can do this.
Come on now.
Come on.
You can do this.
You can do this.
All right, I can see the shoulders.
Gently pull them down.
It's twisting! That's okay.
Let it.
Make sure to guide it under the pelvic bone and hold on.
It's slippery.
Ellen, come on, I need one more big push out of you.
Come on.
Give me one big push.
Here we go.
Okay.
It's okay, you did it, Ellen, you did it.
You did it.
You did it.
You did it.
It's a boy.
We're moving! Say hello to your son.
Oh, oh, oh, hello, little Brandon.
Hello, little Brandon.
Number 11, pick it up.
Nat, we're backing up here.
All right, all right.
Okay, keep going.
Joe, hi.
What are you doing here? The cafeterias dorms are closed.
How long's the wait? Um, I can squeeze you in.
Dylan, do me a favor.
Take the trash out in the back.
It's starting to pile up.
- I got it.
- Thanks.
How'd it go with the therapist today? Better than I expected.
Good.
I hope you're right, but if I know guys, he's just using this therapy thing as a plot to get you back.
Yeah, well, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Do you realize that if that shelf fell down, we'd be crushed by canned tomatoes? Would you relax, Chicken Little? The sky is not falling.
- Tell you what, Henny Penny.
- What? I'm sleeping outside tonight.
Want to keep me company? All right.
Hi.
You and Toni have the right idea: Hawaii.
I'd love to move to Hawaii tomorrow.
It's a big state.
I'll be back in a minute.
How could you just waltz in and make your big announcement like it was no big deal? What are you talking about? You didn't think of my feelings? - Yes, I did.
- Oh, well, thank you for being so sensitive, then.
You want sensitive? I'm sorry, Kelly.
Soul mates.
Right.
Tell me something.
Where was Toni when we were hanging out together in your past life? I don't know.
Maybe it never happened.
Maybe it did.
What I know is, I love her, I love her right now.
Yeah, well, I'm happy for you.
Yeah, you sound thrilled, Kel.
How am I supposed to sound? I don't know, but I asked you first, remember? You said no.
You said you had other plans.
You see, you, you chose you.
I want to hate her so bad but I can't.
She seems really nice.
I'm sorry.
I hope you'll both be very happy.
I hope so, too.
Maybe we each have more than one soul mate.
Yeah, maybe we do.
You must lead a charmed life.
Look at this place, not a scratch.
Well, maybe virtue has its rewards.
Then why is my dorm room such a disaster area? Hi, Donna.
Ray, what are you doing here? Well, when I called on the phone I didn't get an answer, and I saw your broken window and decided to board it up.
Look, I thought I made it clear this morning.
I do not want to see you anymore.
Look, I was just trying to help.
Don't you listen? She doesn't need your help.
Hey, was I talking to you? Ray, please, will you just leave? Fine.
Fix it yourself.
Joe, please, just let him go.
Come on.
I'm taking you back to Brandon's.
- You sleep okay? - Mm Mm-hmm.
My nightmares are during the day now.
Well, it's over.
I hope you're right.
Well, what do you have to say about earthquake weather now, Jack? An anomaly.
It wasn't an anomaly.
It was an earthquake.
Three miles offshore, due west of downtown Santa Monica.
Enough already.
How many times can they say the same thing? Did you feel all the aftershocks in the middle of the night? Uh-uh.
Slept right through.
So I noticed.
You know, we actually slept together last night.
Valerie, that's not what I meant.
I want to make love to you.
If you can't, that's fine.
But don't make jokes about it.
I'm sorry, it was just bad timing, I guess.
Yeah, chalk it up to a natural disaster.
Sorry to interrupt.
Wow, you and Colin actually slept outside last night? You'd be surprised how comfortable a chaise lounge can be.
All right, well, uh, I'm going to take a shower, okay? Bye.
David, I just want to say that I'm sorry about what I said about you and Valerie.
It's none of my business.
Yeah, you're right, but that's no big deal.
I really don't care what you say.
I'm crazy about her.
Hey.
Well, I called school.
No classes today.
They have to inspect all the buildings.
Where's Joe? Did I see his feet sticking out from a blanket around here last night? Are you kidding? He can't sleep anywhere but the dorm.
The whole team has a curfew.
You know, I think you've got a keeper, Donna.
Thanks.
I think so, too.
So, are you going to Pasadena? Want me to go with you? Thanks, but I think this is something I want to do by myself.
You know what, I'm really proud of you.
No matter what happens, you really went for it.
Okay, the talk all day is, where were you when the little one hit? We brought a life into this world.
Can you believe it? No.
I can't.
I was completely terrified, you know.
But when I saw you put that baby in his mother's arms, it was really the most wonderful feeling I've ever had.
I'll never forget that.
What do you think the chances are we'll ever do anything like that again? Um, gee, people do it every day.
Ever heard of marriage and children? Sure, but not in elevators.
I'm really proud of you.
You were really great.
Well, you were no slouch yourself, Keats.
Maybe I could keep you around for a while.
You know, just in case I have any emergencies.
Kind of like a spare set of fresh batteries, huh? - Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm.
I've got some fresh batteries for you.
As you know, the theme of this year's Tournament of Roses is "Kids, Hopes and Dreams.
" All of us here at the Tournament House wish you good luck.
Number 675, your question is: What can we as individuals do to insure that our children, and every child, can realize their hopes and their dreams? That's a very interesting question.
No, I'm wrong.
It's a very tragic question.
I never realized until recently just how fragile children are.
You see, I know this man who was hit so often when he was a child, he grew up thinking it was normal.
And now that he's a man, whenever he gets angry, he hits.
I know this because he hit me.
Children are filled with so many hopes and dreams, but their futures are built on our love.
We must protect our children's hearts, or their souls can be damaged forever.
I'd like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
You've helped fulfill one of my dreams.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, sweetheart.
We meet again.
Yes.
Nice to see you.
I see the earthquake didn't hit you too hard.
No.
Nothing can take down this house.
It's built like a fortress.
So this must be the bunker, then? Let's just say I have a lot to protect.
We have some very important news for you.
Yes, I already know.
Bruno's already told me.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you myself.
No no, I'm glad he did.
It gave me time to get over the shock.
Your blessing would mean a lot to us.
What would you do, if you were me? I'm not you.
This was your mother's Bible.
She carried it down the aisle at our wedding.
Thank you.
I'm so glad that we could all find time to have lunch.
Your mom and I did not want to go off to Europe without spending a little time with you first.
Well, I've been very busy.
Yeah, haven't we all.
- Daddy - Yeah? I made it to the finals, the Tournament of Roses.
I had my last interview today.
I didn't know you were still doing that.
Why didn't you tell us? Well, Mom was so negative.
She didn't think I'd make it this far, I guess.
I just didn't want to give her the satisfaction.
Donna Maybe I thought she was right.
I guess maybe I didn't think I'd make it this far.
Maybe we should talk about this at lunch.
Just clear the air, okay? Hi.
I'm sorry I'm late.
The traffic on La Cienega was just awful.
Hi, sweetheart, Dr.
Martin, before you go.
Rosella wants you to take a look at Mr.
Ungar's cardiogram.
Okay, uh, just, just give me two seconds, sweetheart.
Sure.
Sweetheart, this is really a pretty dress.
You don't usually wear things that are so conservative.
Well, I thought it was appropriate for Pasadena.
Excuse me? I'm a Rose Court finalist, Mom.
I had my final interview today.
Well Why didn't you say something? Because you made it quite clear you didn't approve.
No, I don't.
Why not? 'Cause you didn't make the final cut? Excuse me? I was looking through a photo album at the Tournament House yesterday.
You were a contestant in 1969, weren't you? I don't know what you're talking about, Donna.
You know, you're a terrible liar, Mom.
Although I can't imagine for the life of me - why you'd lie about - You're mistaken, Donna.
No, I'm not mistaken.
I saw the picture.
I know what my own mother Look, if you would like to do this Rose Bowl thing, fine, fine.
Far be it for me to stand in your way.
Is that all you have to say? Good luck.
So, are my girls ready for lunch? I'm not going, Daddy.
I don't really feel much like lunch right now.
What happened? She saw my picture, John.
The Rose Bowl picture? Well, you're gonna have to tell her the truth.
I can't.
We can't.
Think of what that would mean to her.
She's a big girl, Felice.
I think she can handle it.
Maybe, but I don't know if I can.
Damn it.
Dylan and Toni are gone.
Everything clear? Crystal.
No slip-ups.
No tracing it back.
I want him dead.
Don't worry.
It's a done deal.
