Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s08e05 Episode Script

Coming Home

I know this isn't her home anymore.
That's okay.
It's just temporary.
She'll love it.
Good.
Oh, they're here.
Hi.
Ah! I'm so glad to see you.
Hello, Winston.
Come on, Kelly, let's sit down.
Mom, I'm fine.
So, anything look familiar? You.
Yeah.
You're that handsome guy that waited by my hospital bed day and night.
That's right.
That's a nice dress.
But I do miss the gown with the tie in the back.
Hey, you broke out! Beautiful flowers for you.
Oh, thank you.
They're pretty.
Hey, in case someone tells you different, I'm the thoughtful one.
This is so sweet of you, and I'm sure Kelly's really glad to see you, but she needs to rest.
Yeah, we're gonna go.
But we'll come back later, okay? - Feel good.
- Thanks.
I'll, uh I'll call you later.
Okay.
Let's get you settled, honey.
I'll put these in some water.
Okay.
Kel, your bedroom's at the end of the hall.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Okay? I don't get it, Brandon.
How come she didn't come home to you or her mom? This is the only place she remembers living.
Oh, Brandon She's gonna get better, man.
Things are gonna get back to the way they were.
She's not wearing my ring.
The one on the chain.
She must have taken it off.
Come on.
Hey.
You know, I'd always fix the pillows a certain way and then you'd come and you'd fix them this way.
You're starting to remember things.
I know you don't realize it, but you are.
We were good friends, weren't we? Yeah, the best.
I know.
I don't "remember-know," I just sort of know.
It's like that with some people.
But I'm really having to just trust my instincts.
Otherwise, it gets really overwhelming.
Well, that's the best way to go.
I feel really close to Valerie, too.
On the other hand, don't be afraid to question those feelings.
Donna did I love Brandon? I mean, did I really love him? Yes.
I try to remember how it felt.
It's hard to remember feelings.
You got to just feel it.
Yeah.
Kelly, hey- - You look good, girl.
- Oh, hi.
What are you doing here? They released me this morning.
Oh, what were you in for? The hospital, not jail.
This is my stepsister, and, uh, this is my girlfriend Donna.
This is Devin Taggart from Cain Was Able.
It's a band.
They're playing at the After Dark this week.
Mm I sure wish you would've called.
Well, it was so late, I didn't want to wake you.
I left a message this morning, but you were out.
Yeah, I was getting the house ready for Kelly.
She's gonna be staying for a while.
Um l-l told Devin he could crash here before he goes back to Los Feliz.
David, it's Kelly's first day home.
He just, he got in a fight with his girlfriend.
Hey, really, look, I won't be long.
Just point me to the shower.
It's down the hall, I think.
You know what? You can crash in Clare's old room.
It's the first door on the left.
Thanks.
Don't be mad, okay? I really need this.
Donna, I don't mind.
Really.
Just help me make the bed.
Look, you got a full house here; I'm gonna So let's take a walk.
I don't think it's such a good idea.
I mean, last time we did that, it wasn't such a crowd-pleaser.
That's the good thing about amnesia.
I have no idea who I'm supposed to please, so I just please myself.
Okay.
Your friends must be happy you're back on the mainland.
I can't speak for them.
No? How about your family? Well, I thought I'd treat this like it was a brand-new town, you know? Give it the benefit of the doubt.
I like the way you look at life.
I try not to look.
Maybe I should be more like you Stop worrying about the past, start focusing on what I'm going to do, where I'm going to live.
You lived with Brandon.
I used to.
Look, Kelly, I like you, but we're nothing alike.
I mean, you've got a good life here.
I can see that.
Can't you? I'm trying.
I know it must be scary to wake up and find out you lived with a guy you don't even know.
They say we love each other.
I just don't remember what it was like.
How it works.
How I mix that with feelings I might be having for someone else.
You think about what you'd lose.
I know it's hard to do that if you can't remember what you've already had.
But don't you want to know? Of course I do.
Well, I mean, isn't that what you really want To figure things out with Brandon? Yeah.
Mrs.
Harvey loved the suit, hated the cocktail dress.
Okay.
So I thought I could try something more like this.
All right.
By the way, I got a new client.
You ever heard of Cooper Hargrove? Cooper Hargrove'? Where do I know that name? Is he some, like, old aerospace millionaire or something? I don't know.
I never met him.
But he needs a party planned for 200 of his closest friends.
Now, I know it's not personal shopping, technically.
But he's paying us, right? No sweat.
You know, running the After Dark was like hosting one big, long party.
Yeah, we'll work on it tomorrow.
Turns out that a client of mine in Mandeville Canyon is a clothing manufacturer; Wants to look at my work this afternoon.
Mm! A career job! You go.
Yeah.
We guarantee the Beverly Beat is the best advertising you'll ever get.
Yeah, thanks, anyway.
We're not going to make it on sales, Bran.
We've got 60 grand in accounts receivable.
We got one shot to make this work.
I gotta buy some prime home delivery lists.
Hit our target audience on their doorstep, their haunts, everywhere.
Hey, Bran, are you with me on this? Here's the problem, Steve: I I got ideas; I got tons of ideas, but we got no statement holding this paper together.
We got nothing that sets us apart.
Kel.
- Hi.
- Hi, Kel.
Am I interrupting? No, no, come on in.
It's after 6:00.
I thought maybe you'd be done.
Is everything okay? Yeah yeah.
I just need to be with you.
I thought maybe we could have dinner when you're through.
I'm through.
You get back on the phone Sell, sell, sell.
Yeah, go, go, go- Whew Well, I've taken up enough of your time.
- How can I not hire you? - What? Just because we aren't ready to start our in-house design, I'm going to let you walk out of here? - I don't know.
- Hell, no.
I'm going to buy these designs piecemeal.
I don't believe this.
Finance works for me, not the other way around.
Maybe we can structure some sort of freelance thing as well.
I'll call you next week.
Oh, this is such a big break for me.
Thank you so much, Mr.
Parish.
- I believe in raw talent.
- Mmm.
Diane will show you out.
Oh, that's okay.
I know the way.
Oh.
- Thanks.
- Don't forget your book.
Oh.
I may be tempted to steal from it if you leave it.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Bye, Donna.
Excuse me.
It hurts, it hurts, Eluvia.
Marta, come quick.
Oh my God, your arm.
Wait! Are you okay? Did you get that from working on the steam press? We have to get her to a doctor.
No help; I do.
Wait.
Okay, living room's over there.
- Kitchen's over there, dining - I'd like to see our room.
You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
It's your home.
How long have you lived here? Eight years.
- We moved here from - Minnesota, I know.
Ah, you listened.
Such a good date.
This is it.
This, uh, this wallpaper over here this was the wallpaper, uh you picked out and, uh, you know, at first, I didn't like it but, uh, you know, it's kind of starting to grow on me.
I think maybe you should, uh, wallpaper the whole house with it.
Yeah, you wallpaper my car wallpaper me Kel? I thought if I just SEW OUT room Hey, it's okay; There's no pressure here.
I can't be here, Brandon.
I have to go.
- No, no, Kel, wait.
- No, now.
Just take me home, okay? Now.
Val, whatever you do, don't tell Hargrove we've never planned a party before, okay? It was only a little late I don't need your excuses.
Listen to me Thank you.
Where's this guy's assistant? Look at Hargrove he can't treat people like that.
I'm telling you! You know, 200 hand-written invitations.
I mean, can you sue for tendonitis? You know, I think we should really pad Hargrove's bill.
I wouldn't pad the bill, if I were you.
About dessert What, Hargrove's cheap, too? Too? In addition to what? Did you see him torturing that poor chef over there? She doesn't mean to criticize your boss.
Excuse me, Mr.
Hargrove? You're Hargrove? Oh, no.
- Uh, yes? - There's a call for you.
I'll be right there.
Frederick The older gentleman My assistant.
We're fired, right? No, you're doing a great 'gob.
Dessert menu looks great.
Why don't you come to the party tonight and enjoy it? Oh, we couldn't.
I mean, at least I can't.
Um, neither can I.
I have previous plans.
But thanks.
Um, I hope I didn't offend you.
Oh, you didn't.
Not for lack of trying, though.
Okay, he's nice.
He's handsome.
He's rich, you turned him down.
Why? I know.
What a shock, huh? You must really have it bad for Noah.
Mm-hmm.
We'd love to have you aboard, Terri.
What do you think? I think you guys have some great ideas, but I've got another offer with an established paper, so - So take it.
- Brandon? What? Let's be honest here.
We don't even know if we're going to go press.
We can pay you for this issue, but there's no money in the till for the next one.
All we can offer you is more input in this job than you've ever had in any job.
Take it or leave it.
- I'll take it.
- You will? Yes, I mean, you're honest.
That's the point of journalism, right? And besides, I like you guys.
I say let's give it a shot.
Great.
Welcome aboard.
By the way, we only have half the ads and three-quarters of the articles ready for layout.
And, uh, we still need a printer, and the deadline's end of the day tomorrow.
We all make coffee.
We all answer phones.
What about a health plan? If one of us gets sick, the other two promise to visit.
Say, "Welcome aboard.
" Welcome aboard.
Thanks.
I feel the pressure cooker.
Burning in my soul.
Somethings got a hold.
And it's not letting go.
Driving down my one-track mind.
Only thing I know.
You make me desperate I don't want anything but.
You make me desperate.
Here we go.
Hey, this band is great.
- Thanks.
- You should, uh, take an ad out for them in the Beverly Beat.
- You certainly wrote one.
- Hey, uh, easy with the edit on that music review, all right? I'm trying to sign these guys.
We'll get some singles out there.
You have a record contract? No, no, not without a demo.
I'm checking into studio time, though I'll produce it.
Doesn't that take a massive cash flow? It's like 500 to 1,000 a day.
Yeah, but for how many days? I'll make it back when they hit.
Trust me, they'll, they'll hit, okay? Uh, Carly's here.
Carly! Oh, hey! It's a couple friends of mine.
I'm gonna go say, hi, okay? - Hi.
- Carly, what are you doing here? Uh, that sounds like one long name.
"Carly-What-Are-You-Doing-Here.
" - That's a mouthful.
- Just a nickname for when I dare to socialize like a real girl.
Yeah, okay.
Well, I'm gonna go find someone who appreciates my, uh, humor and charm.
Something I said? Something you keep saying.
I believe the word is "no.
" And you keep saying it every time Steve asks you out.
How's the kid? Um, he's good, he's staying over at a friend's house, and I've only called twice so far.
Mm.
You make me desperate Doing a piece on the band? I know it doesn't look like work, but it is.
It looks like you're avoiding going home.
Which I completely understand.
I mean, uh, it's kind of, uh, lonely there without the person you love.
They caught the shooter.
He's awaiting trial.
And, as for Kelly, I'm just glad she's back in one piece, you know? I don't think I can really ask for much more.
Like what? Like I want her back.
The way she was.
Valerie.
Um I was, uh, I was just in the neighborhood.
Just dropped by to catch up on biz with the old, uh, harbormaster, huh? By the way, he's fine.
He told me you were working down here.
Yeah, I've been working on her all week.
The owner's out of town.
He wants her seaworthy by the time he gets back.
This is the shirt you wore when we went swimming, remember? Yeah.
Brought some stuff over.
I figured I'm spending so much time here, I might as well just crash here.
Yeah, I get it you're busy.
So I'm taking her for a test run tonight.
You know, while the water's calm.
I'll catch you later.
Maybe tomorrow, you know? Or maybe never? Look, I'm just trying to say good night.
Look, why don't you just be honest? I'm good for one night but not the next, right? Look, Val, I'm not what you think I am.
You don't want me.
You want Kelly.
Just say it.
- It's not Kelly.
- Then what is it? Why are you treating me like this? Is it somebody else? Yeah, there's somebody else.
Yeah? Hi, it's me.
Were you sleeping? No, no, I'm okay.
What's up? You stayed with me, Brandon.
Every night at the hospital.
And before that.
When I was kicking cocaine.
When I was hurting because of Dylan.
You were always there for me.
You remember.
No, Donna gave me my journal.
Yeah, yeah, I was there.
I still am.
I know.
I'm figuring it out, Brandon.
I'm trying so hard.
Good night.
You shouldn't have followed me here.
I thought you were gonna go see her This, this girl; This, this someone else.
I mean, that that's what you said, remember? Yeah, I remember everything.
Yeah, so, so I was thinking to myself, "Okay, all right", there's, there's another woman; That makes sense.
" But it doesn't.
I mean, if it's not Kelly, then who is it, huh? Where is she? Look, Val, don't okay? I mean, what can she mean to him if you're feeling half of what I'm feeling when I'm with you? Look, it's enough, all right? I'm warning you.
Where was she, where was she the night you made love to me, huh? Hawaii? Then why did you move here? And if she's here, then why were you living in Hawaii? She was here.
Past tense? What what, she dumped you? Look, just get out of here and leave me alone.
Okay, so, Noah Hunter, Mr.
Stud got dumped.
So what? I wish she had dumped me.
Oh oh, so, so you dumped her.
Okay, you broke her heart.
You know what, Noah? Get over it, okay? Get on with your life.
She'll live.
No, she won't live, okay?! She won't ever live again! She won't ever open her eyes again! I lost control of the car She's bleeding, and her We're up here running away from my family and my friends! All I want is for someone to just come by and help her.
Just help her.
Oh, my God.
Not that I She died? Here? Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Look, just leave me alone! Get out of here! Damn you! Get out of here! Hi.
Excuse me.
Do you remember me? I'm Donna Martin.
I was wondering what happened to that girl that got burned.
She better.
- Can I talk to her? - You make trouble.
No, please, will you please wait? Look, she's way too small to be operating that big steam press.
That's why she got hurt.
How old is she? She work hard.
Now no work.
And doctor bills.
Well, the owner should be paying workman's comp.
They can't get away with less in this country.
How many hours a day do you work? Look, minimum wage is $5.
15 an hour.
How much do they pay you? Not enough to lose job because of you.
Okay, this one's mine.
Nat, Carly, this is Terri Spar, Hi, Terri.
Our fearless production manager.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
Thanks for the sandwiches.
Appreciate it.
So this is Beverly Beat? Do you have time to show us around? Well, I'd like to, but we're on a deadline.
Maybe some other time? Sure.
That'd be great.
Whenever.
So, uh, you gonna get this pup out the door tonight? We have to.
We got a deadline.
I've got all the ads I can, and now it's up to Brandon.
It's in his corner now.
That's not what you just told Carly when you sent her back to her corner.
Hey, Carly.
They got you making deliveries? Yes, these are some busy boys.
- Mm-hmm.
Excuse me.
- Okay.
Brandon.
Hey, Donna.
Hey, I think I got a story for you.
Is it short? I'm on a deadline.
Well, I'll make it fast and hope it has a happy ending.
What do you know about sweatshops? I'm listening.
Luckily, some girls don't know how to take no for an answer.
She sure is good at saying it, though.
Meet you down at the car.
I'll be right there.
I don't get this.
Uh, just because I don't want to date you, we can't be friends? I didn't think you wanted me hitting on you because you don't date.
Because of Zach.
And then, all of a sudden, I see you out at some bar.
What's that? I have a kid.
I'm not a shut-in.
Oh, okay, I see.
Well, why don't you want to go outwith me, then? Because I'm not your type.
And I don't think that you're right for me either because of-of Zach.
So what kind of guy gets to date you? I'm just wondering, as a friend.
Well, I mean, he doesn't have to be rich or anything, just stable, patient, responsible That word again.
So how come you're not with some Mr.
Responsible? Actually, I would be tonight, but my mom's sick and I don't have a sitter.
A date? Ls this serious? No, it's only the first date.
I mean, he's just some guy I met.
Well, if Mr.
Right comes knocking at the door like some census taker, you better answer it.
I'll watch Zach for you.
Oh, no, thank you, really.
It's, it's nice, but No, really, I'll watch him for you.
I'll be done here in an hour or so, for better or for worse, and, well, I'll be giving you a shot at marital bliss.
Think of me as your fairy godmother.
That image is too good to pass up.
Yeah.
Do you remember? Do you have the address of the building somewhere? One hour to deadline, guys.
Look, we got to do something to help these people.
We will next issue.
With more information, okay? Okay.
Brandon said you came by.
So you're just taking off? Going back to Hawaii? Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
So you're just going to keep going backwards? Look, I'm just taking a job, okay? Away from me.
What was her name? Beth.
Her name I think you should go.
Don't tell me to go.
Don't say anything you don't mean.
Look, I don't I can't do this, all right? I don't I don't want to do this.
But you do.
You can't help it.
Neither can I.
Hey.
You like? Oh, yeah, it's gorgeous.
Oh, good.
Put it on.
Hurry up.
Don't ask any questions.
All right.
Take that.
Let's jump to the back.
Does your mom always take this long to get ready? Wow, you look beautiful uh, said the Fairy Godmother to Cinderella.
Bed, 8:00.
And no arguing.
I didn't say a word.
No, I meant with Zach.
He'll win, won't you? Uh, do I look okay? Um, I don't want Kurt to come in.
It's too confusing for Zach.
You know, the whole date thing? So don't even get into it.
Mommy's friend's here.
Give it up.
Bye, sweetie.
So you're clear on everything? Oh, yeah.
If I get confused, I can always refer to the three pages of typed notes - you left me.
- Bye, guys.
Have fun.
Thanks.
I guess it's just you and me.
Who said that? Who? I bet your mom wishes she was here with us instead of that old what's-his-name.
I wish she was outwith you.
Oh, buddy Buddy, give me some skin.
Let me see your Belly Man.
How did you pull this off? With a little help from your friends.
You guys have a good time now.
Yep, knock yourselves out.
Thanks, guys.
Hey, look, um I gotta get to the club.
But tomorrow the deck, the day, the night they're ours, all right? Just you and me.
Okay.
Cheers.
And to you.
Thanks.
I've been thinking about you.
I started to really remember things.
And I just sort of get them mixed up with who you are now.
I've been, uh remembering you, too.
When you were lying there in the hospital, I'd look at you, and things would just kind of hit me.
Like what? Little things.
Like how you hang your stockings in the shower to dry the first time we danced.
When was that? It was a high school dance.
You see, I don't dance, so you dragged me onto the dance floor.
We were just friends then.
But I put my arms around you.
I even remember what song was playing.
See, we didn't really dance, we just kind of stood there.
Like this.
- Like this? - Mm-hmm.
She's headed this way.
And no kiss.
Well, get in your car, buddy.
Save your self-respect.
That, my good boy, was a total date wipeout.
You've got to get in your bed right away.
- All right.
- Go.
Hi.
Hi, dear.
How was your date? He sells insurance and gambles his salary in Las Vegas.
A walking, snoring oxymoron.
So much for Mr.
Responsible.
Zach's in bed? Oh, yeah.
He went right in No complaints.
Hmm.
He sure is cute when he's asleep.
Did you have a good night, Zach? Yeah? Did Steve behave himself? Anything broken? Toys? Glassware? Bones? You sure? It's your last chance to blame Steve.
He was a good boy.
Yeah? So are you.
Good night, sweetheart.
He must've just woke up.
Thank you for a really great evening.
Well, how about a kiss good night? I'll give one to Zach for you.
Brandon was here.
They did it.
Is that the paper? Let me see.
Look, he's lead editorial.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I do.
Kelly? - Mom, where's my - Kelly, what is it? I'm missing something.
But I know what it is.
Oh, Val, here's your paycheck.
And Cooper Hargrove called.
He thought we did a great job on the party.
He specifically asked for you.
Well, I should be happy about it.
I should want to go outwith him.
By the way.
Kelly had an incredible night with Brandon last night.
So if you're worried about Noah, I'd say the playing field is wide open.
Have you ever slept on a boat? Yeah, my parents' A bunch of times.
Did you ever feel a little cramped? Well, it's a pretty big.
But you wouldn't want to live there, right? I don't know.
But Noah he just loves it.
You know, I ran out on him this morning because because I wanted him too much.
Maybe you're just scared.
He's poor.
He has no ambition.
But why do I want him? Look, Val, I don't know exactly what makes you happy but if you're lucky enough to find it, hold on to it.
Speaking of which, I have an actual date with David tonight, so So, in other words same advice as before: "Just don't wreck it.
" You can do that, can't you? Honestly? I don't know.
"Hey, hey, guys' um.
" Can? Do you mind? Thanks.
Oh, great.
Hey, Donna, come on in.
Thanks.
Look, they-they just showed up, all right? I didn't ask them to stay.
Where's Kelly? She left a note.
She went somewhere with her mom.
She said she wasn't going to be back today.
Oh, so we could actually have the whole afternoon alone? You did want to be alone with me.
Yeah, but what am I supposed to do? Tell them to leave.
Donna, they could sign with an established manager tomorrow.
Hey, guys, I'm gonna send Billy to get some more beer.
Do you need anything? No, I have dinner right here.
Chilean sea bass, new potatoes, champagne We're just gonna stay in tonight.
Ah, don't cook.
We'll order in.

You're now in bed with these guys.
I'd rather be in bed with you.

No one's gonna Jew me down, all right? Just trust me, I know what I'm doing, all right? Just get over here.
You missed a great dinner party last night.
And I appreciated you calling to follow up.
Well, it was really nice of you to extend a second invitation.
Well, I got the feeling maybe you were off the market.
But I thought it was worth a second try.
Well worth it.
Well, I like someone who's not afraid of a challenge.
Missed opportunities, that's all I'm afraid of.
I bet nothing scares you.
Really? Well, you'd be surprised.
We did it! - You rule, Terri! - We did it.
And Brandon taskmaster, editor, word king, thesaurus - You got it all, man! - Now all we have to do is the same thing next week, only better.

Thank you very much.
Hello? Yes, as a matter of fact, there is space in the next issue.
Perhaps you'd like to, uh Sorry if I'm interrupting.
I know how you are when you're writing.
The way you push your chair back and pull on your ear.
You remember? I remember you.
I reached for my ring for our ring but I didn't have it.
You have it.
It's all coming back to me, Brandon.
But without you, I feel more lost than ever.
You know what, Kel? The next time I put this on you, I want it to be for the rest of your life.
