00:30Yes!
00:45Nice touch, Dad.
00:46Not bad for a dinosaur, huh?
00:47That's the shot I hit at the buzzer to beat Franklin High.
00:51All right, what's the score?
00:53H.O.R. to H.O.R.S.
00:54All right, this one's for the money boy.
00:56Let me tell you something.
01:02You keep popping like that, you're looking at the starting 5.
01:04Dad.
01:05Excuse me, Magic.
01:06Are we planning on going to school today?
01:09Two minutes.
01:12Mom, you see?
01:15You see why I need my own car?
01:21Brenda.
01:22I can't depend on him.
01:24I can't get anywhere on time, and he does it on purpose just to drive me crazy.
01:27Brenda...
01:28I've got to get control of my own destiny. You said so yourself.
01:32Yes, but first you need to get your driver's license, honey.
01:36I'm taking driver's training.
01:38I know.
01:47What are you yelling at?
01:49Ha! Guy cuts me off and then flips me the bird.
01:53If you put a move on it, maybe it wouldn't be honking at you.
01:55You were the last person in the world who should be telling me how to drive.
01:58Well, you're always talking about how much power Mondo has underneath the hood,
02:01but it's like your chicken uses it.
02:03What is your problem this morning?
02:04I just don't want to be late, okay?
02:06And I just don't get why you can't go any faster.
02:09Because it's a red light.
02:16Oh.
02:18So you're really taking driver's training again, huh?
02:21Just go, okay?
02:23It's green, okay?
02:25Okay.
02:48Ha!
03:14Kelly!
03:15So, Brenda.
03:17So, late.
03:20So, new.
03:23So, cute.
03:26So, thanks.
03:28So, bye.
03:32Bye.
03:33Bye.
03:34Bye-ee?
03:36Did you hear her say bye-ee?
03:38Face it, Walsh, your sister's gone total Beverly Hills.
03:42Yeah, but bye-ee?
03:45Yeah, well, uh, goodbye-ee.
03:48Parting is such sweet sorrow.
03:51Oh, but you are covering the basketball tryouts today.
03:55Actually, I'm trying out for the team.
03:59Really?
04:02Yeah.
04:04Aren't you a little short?
04:07Thanks.
04:13How tall is he?
04:16DeWitt?
04:18He's 6'6".
04:19He never misses a shot.
04:21And Blitton's 6'4".
04:23Plays defense like King Kong.
04:26All right, let's go.
04:29And Andy Walker's better than both of them combined.
04:34And that's James Townsend.
04:36He's his new young hot shot.
04:38Who has a chance to crack the starting lineup?
04:41Should be a good team this year.
04:43This year?
04:44Every year.
04:45It was Beverly's a perennial powerhouse.
04:48Been league champs four years in a row.
04:52Sure are a good team.
04:54Yeah.
04:55I mean, it's a good team.
04:58Been league champs four years in a row.
05:02Sure are a lot of guys in the program.
05:05These open tryouts are a joke.
05:07Coach Riley only holds them to promote school spirit.
05:10Everyone knows he's already set the lineup.
05:13Take me, for example.
05:15I started J.V. last year.
05:17He practically told me I'm practically a lock.
05:19But don't quote me on that because I don't want to come off as arrogant.
05:24Hey, actually, I came down for tryouts myself.
05:27Aren't you a little short?
05:33Down for the track where it counts.
05:35Where one mistake can cost you your life.
05:38It takes a special breed of person to handle the curves and keep up with the action.
05:44Used to be a man's game until now.
05:48They say she learned to drive on the icy streets of Minnesota.
05:52They say she's a flash in the pan.
05:55But whatever they say, the fact remains.
05:59Brenda Walsh is changing the way the game is played.
06:04And all over America, you can hear her fans at the finish line.
06:10Glamour for the new sensation.
06:14Brenda Walsh.
06:16Brenda Walsh.
06:17Brenda Walsh.
06:19Walsh.
06:20Brenda.
06:26Remember to bring your parental consent form, Brenda.
06:32Ever taken driver training before?
06:34No.
06:36Not really.
06:38Well, sort of.
06:40Sort of?
06:42Well, I took private lessons back in St. Paul.
06:45But you see, I have this, like, perceptual problem.
06:48Brenda, Brenda, let me put your mind at rest.
06:51What's past is past.
06:53In my class, we start with a clean slate.
06:56Who cares if you flunked driver training once before?
07:01Twice before.
07:05Well, three times if you count the first time.
07:07But I only lasted 20 minutes.
07:09So I don't really think it should count.
07:11Do you, Mr. Carton?
07:14Watch the pick.
07:17Watch the pick.
07:19Come on.
07:20Back up.
07:23Back up.
07:25Back up.
07:27Back up.
07:29Back up.
07:31Back up.
07:33Back up.
07:35Back up.
07:37The first preseason game with Beverly High is next week, gentlemen.
07:40The first cut will be posted 20 minutes after practice.
07:44Thank you all for coming out.
07:47I wish he could do his calls in the scrimmage.
08:03Walsh, Brent, Murphy.
08:07Brent, Murphy, rotate in for Leiter.
08:11Simpkins.
08:13Mr. Walker?
08:15Feels awfully right to me.
08:17Even if you are overrated?
08:23All in chance, big guy.
08:37Good shot, good shot.
08:39Get up, get up.
08:41Watch the back.
08:43Watch the back.
08:45Come on, come on.
08:47Watch the man.
08:49Watch the man.
08:51Get on defense.
08:53Yeah!
08:56Are you Walsh?
08:58Yes, sir.
09:04That's it, Brenda, much better.
09:06You can go a little faster if you want.
09:09Really?
09:10Remember, it's 25 in a residential zone, 35 on a commercial street.
09:16How do you feel?
09:18Like I could do this even if you weren't sitting right next to me.
09:22Oh, you can.
09:23And you will.
09:24But be careful.
09:26All right, let's take the big wide turn.
09:32Not too jerky.
09:36Very good.
09:38Okay.
09:40One more time.
09:42One more time.
10:03What do you say we hang back till the crowd thins out a little bit, huh?
10:06Don't be a squid, Walsh.
10:08You got a 50-50 shot of making a cut.
10:10You think so?
10:11Hold on till we check it out.
10:21I don't believe it.
10:22There's got to be some kind of mistake.
10:25Steve.
10:26What?
10:27Hey, I'm sorry.
10:28I was hoping we'd get to play together this season.
10:31If you think you're going to make it past the next round, you are totally naive.
10:35This whole thing is rigged anyway.
10:37What do you mean, rigged?
10:39Wait, Walker.
10:40How many of those dudes do you think live in Beverly Hills?
10:43A big, fat zippo.
10:45Hey, wait a second.
10:46I've been told you can't go to West Beverly unless you live in the district.
10:50Unless you're a major jock.
10:52Why do you think we beat Beverly High last year?
10:54Because they play by the rules.
10:56We don't.
10:57How do we get around the rules?
10:59We put them in this applied learning opportunity thing.
11:03Applied what?
11:05It's a special program for minorities, Brandon.
11:08So we can all become more enriched and diverse.
11:12What's wrong with that?
11:15Nothing.
11:16Nothing at all.
11:17Hey, hey.
11:18Come on, Steve.
11:19I'm new around here.
11:20I don't know what's going on.
11:22Okay.
11:23Okay.
11:24You want to know?
11:25They say this program is open to everybody.
11:27The major requirement is how high you can jump or how fast you can run the hundred.
11:32After you've been here a while, you just may notice that these suckers never go to class.
11:38The fact is they're getting a free ride around here and it makes me sick.
11:43You can quote me on that.
11:58Yeah, man.
11:59Cut out, man.
12:01I ain't going for no initiation.
12:03I'm not.
12:26Hey, Nat.
12:27Hey.
12:28What are you doing here?
12:29Looking for a free meal?
12:30No.
12:31Actually, I'm looking for my paycheck.
12:32Paycheck?
12:33And all this time I thought you were working for me out of the goodness of your heart.
12:37Unfortunately, my car insurance costs more than my heart.
12:41Welcome to L.A.
12:43Give me a few minutes, okay?
12:44No problem, Nat.
12:46Hey, James.
12:51I'm Brandon Walsh.
12:53I fed you a couple buckets at tryouts today.
12:55Right.
12:56Yo, James, out the door.
12:57All right.
12:58I got a jet.
12:59Hey, it's cool.
13:00I just wanted to say, you know, good luck and I'll be playing with you this season.
13:05Yeah, all right.
13:07Dude has no chance of making the team.
13:20You can't let a little competition get you down.
13:23Little?
13:24Dad, the starting five is right out of the land of the giants.
13:27You sound as if making the first cut was a fluke.
13:30No, no.
13:31It's just, well, like I told you, they recruit a lot of the players from out of the district.
13:36Some of these guys are like pros.
13:38What are you psyching yourself out for?
13:41You read Bobby Knight's book.
13:43Winning is a state of mind.
13:45Bobby who?
13:47And if you have the tools and the guts and the desire, you can meet any challenge and accomplish any goal.
13:55Thanks for dinner, Mom.
13:57The pep talk was inspiring.
14:01I heard that.
14:03Glad someone did.
14:11What's with her?
14:19No.
14:21What?
14:23What?
14:25Hey, Bren.
14:29I love you.
14:30You're the better half.
14:32But don't fight my battles for me, okay?
14:35Brandon, every year, it's the same winning is a state of mind speech.
14:41The same big shot at the buzzer.
14:43The same rah, rah, rah, rah.
14:46It's just Dad being Dad.
14:48How can you stand it?
14:50It just rolls off my back.
14:52It really does.
14:58Bye.
14:59Bye.
15:01Bye.
15:04Don't worry, Mother. We're just going upstairs to study for our Spanish test.
15:16Do we love this nail polish?
15:18Más o menos.
15:21So what about tomorrow night?
15:23Ah, you heard my Mom.
15:25Monday through Thursdays, I'm totally book bound.
15:28So tell her you're going to the library.
15:30Cal, I could never pull it off. I'm the world's worst liar.
15:34Please, Brenda.
15:36Look, blind dates aren't my thing either, but Kenny swears his friend is totally delectable.
15:41You said the last time you went out with Kenny, he was weird and obnoxious.
15:45He was.
15:47Then why would you want to go out with him again?
15:52You are bad.
15:54Look, they're getting front row tickets to the Janet Jackson concert and renting a limo.
15:58It'll be fun.
15:59What do you say? Can I count on you, amigo?
16:01It's amiga. You have to use a feminine form of the noun.
16:06Thanks.
16:09Where are you going?
16:11Where do you think?
16:18Six seconds left on the clock.
16:20The Lakers down by one.
16:22Magic, dribbling at the top of the key.
16:24Swings it over to Vlade.
16:26Six seconds left.
16:28Back to Magic, who kicks it over to Walsh.
16:30Walsh, who shoots at the buzzer for the game.
16:36Walsh, at the buzzer for the game.
16:40One more time, at the buzzer for the game.
16:43It's good! It's good!
16:45It's good! It's good! Walsh does it again!
16:48The Lakers win! The Lakers win the world championships!
16:52Yes!
16:55Nice shot, champ.
17:09I was really, really sick for a while, but don't worry, I'm not contagious anymore.
17:13That depends on how you look at it.
17:16Hey, Steve. How you doing?
17:18Okay.
17:20You were probably wondering why you didn't see me around school last week.
17:23Not really.
17:25I was out with the flu.
17:27I didn't notice.
17:29The doctor had to put me on antibiotics.
17:31You actually lived to tell about it, huh?
17:34Yep.
17:36Amazing. Truly amazing.
17:39Well, thanks, Steve. It's great to be back.
17:42I'll see you around.
17:44Jordan, how you doing, man?
17:47Hey, Brendan. Hey, Steve. How you doing?
17:50Hey, how you doing? Good.
17:52Listen, I almost called you last night. I had an extra ticket to the Lakers-Celtics game.
17:55Oh, man. You should have called me.
17:57I know. I'm sorry, but it was a last-minute kind of thing.
17:59So how was magic?
18:01Magic was magic, but Bird was unstoppable and McHale on the boards.
18:05Wait a minute. I thought you were a Lakers fan.
18:07Except when the Celtics come to town.
18:09Why, were you born in Boston?
18:11No, I'm a Beverly Hills native.
18:13So what were you doing rooting for the Celtics?
18:16Us Irish guys have got to stick together.
18:18You know how it is.
18:21How what is?
18:23Well, shh. Take care of yourself.
18:30See ya.
18:32See ya.
18:42And the most rad part is I designed it to pump 5,000 oscillations
18:47at 1.78 per second
18:50to compensate for any surge in the electrical output.
18:54So how come it doesn't work?
18:58I don't know.
19:02Since the shutter is concave and the condenser is convex,
19:05it allows the image to remain balanced.
19:08Good work, Brandon. Excellent.
19:11Mr. Motto.
19:13Oh, hello, James. Did you get a chance to do the assignment?
19:16That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm still working on it.
19:20James.
19:22But I'll have it for you Monday, for sure, really.
19:25Okay.
19:30I didn't know you were taking tech.
19:33Well, I'm enrolled in it, but you know how it is,
19:36coming to a new school and all.
19:49What do you have next period?
19:51Driver's training.
19:53Driver's training?
19:55It's just a refresher course.
19:57Listen, four weeks into the semester, the guy hasn't shown up once.
20:00Doesn't that tell you something?
20:02Yeah, it tells me that this James guy is one of your basic overachievers.
20:05Steve Sanders says the Applied Learning Program
20:08has been giving preferential treatment to jocks for years.
20:11Look, the fact is the ALLP has a great reputation, and I'm sorry,
20:14Steve Sanders is a spoiled slut
20:16who doesn't come close to being a credible news source.
20:19But that doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of so-called student-athletes
20:22playing college ball around this country
20:24who can't even spell their own names, okay?
20:26And that kind of preferential BS treatment
20:29starts right here at the high school level.
20:31If you think you have a major story, set up an interview and go for it.
20:43Actually, I was hoping you'd run with it.
20:46Me cover sport? Ha! Not likely.
20:49And come on, I can't write this. It's a blatant conflict of interest.
20:52Only if you make the team, which rumor has it,
20:54is something less than a sure thing.
20:56But no matter when I write it, everyone will say it's sour grapes.
20:59Is it?
21:00You don't think it's unfair they bring a guy in from out of district
21:03to play basketball?
21:06No comment.
21:08No comment? What does that mean?
21:11It means I live out of district, remember?
21:14Andrea, this isn't about geography.
21:17That's right. It's about race.
21:20That is not true.
21:22Look, if you don't want to do the legwork, fine.
21:25Just don't put me down for trying to bring a killer story to print.
21:29Okay, okay.
21:32Give me a couple names and, uh,
21:35maybe I will drop by the ALOP office and see what I can dig up.
21:41Thanks.
21:45Driving is a cinch.
21:47It is a cinch as long as you stay on your side of the road.
21:51Well, I only swerved when the dog started barking.
21:54I thought he was going to draw down to the street
21:57until I saw his leash.
21:59But you never know what a poodle is going to do, right?
22:01You're doing wonderfully, Brenda.
22:03You truly are.
22:05But we're approaching a stop sign.
22:07I see it.
22:08Well, let's come to a complete stop this time.
22:11Behind the crosswalk.
22:14No California rolls.
22:18Perfect.
22:20So, do you think I'm ready to go for my license yet?
22:23Uh, pretty soon.
22:24Heel to the car on the right,
22:26and then proceed through the intersection.
22:29Well, looks like Henry Winkler.
22:31That's not him.
22:33Brenda, you have the right of way.
22:40That is Henry Winkler!
22:42Let's go!
22:47You're welcome.
22:49Nice to meet you.
22:51Come on, hustle back.
22:54Watch out.
22:57Rebound!
22:58Rebound!
23:00Come on.
23:02Come out of it.
23:04Set it up. Set it up.
23:06Shot!
23:08Shot!
23:10Rebound! Rebound!
23:14Come on, hustle back.
23:16Come on.
23:18Watch your feet.
23:20Take it, take it, take it.
23:24Come on, walk it back.
23:26All right, all right.
23:28Fall, fall, fall. Take it.
23:30One.
23:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:33Good move, Andy.
23:35Mid-season form.
23:37Hustle back now. Hustle back.
23:39Hands up. Hands up.
23:41Let's do it. Set it up.
23:43I see.
23:44Set it up.
23:45Key up, man, key up.
23:47Set it up. Fall.
23:50Take it.
23:52Come on, man.
23:54Get in the game, Walsh.
23:56Hey, hey, hey.
23:57Rebound, rebound.
23:58Hustle back.
23:59Let's do it.
24:00Come on, man.
24:01Set it up. Set it up.
24:03Key up. Key up.
24:05Rebound. Rebound.
24:07Oh!
24:08Rebound. Rebound.
24:10Rebound. Rebound.
24:14All right. All right.
24:16Set it up. Set it up.
24:18Key up.
24:19Key up.
24:20All right. Hustle back.
24:24Charging.
24:31Hey, Walsh.
24:33Get up, man. Come on, get up.
24:42We're down to the final cut.
24:45That's what I hear.
24:46Coach Riley told me he was very impressed with your hustle.
24:49And so am I.
24:50I've never seen you play with this kind of intensity.
24:52What'd you have to go talk to him for, Dad?
24:54He introduced himself to me.
24:55What was I supposed to do?
24:56Walk away, not shake his hand?
24:58No.
24:59So what's the big deal?
25:01I had a meeting down in Century City.
25:03Back home, I used to watch you practice all the time.
25:11It's no big deal.
25:12I'll see you later, okay?
25:16Brandon.
25:18Don't worry.
25:20You play like you did today, you got a legitimate shot at making the team.
25:24Either way, I'm proud of you.
25:35James Townsend, is he the kid in your tech class?
25:37Yeah.
25:38Well, he must be an awfully hot prospect.
25:41Why? What'd you find out?
25:43Well, according to my source in the ALOP,
25:46there are four guys currently playing varsity basketball involved with the program.
25:50And they say they're doing fairly well.
25:52What would you expect them to say?
25:54Brandon, will you let me finish?
25:57The key thing is, they have no record of your friend James
26:01ever having taken a reading or math placement test.
26:04A basic requirement for all sophomores on this campus.
26:08I knew it.
26:09It gets worse.
26:10His transcripts from his last school were somehow never processed.
26:15He is the only student in West Beverly without a grade point average.
26:30Look, do you want to talk to him or should I?
26:34I'll do it.
26:41James, you got a second?
26:45I'll catch up with you later.
26:48Listen, Brandon, I lost it out there and I apologize.
26:52You don't deserve this kind of garbage.
26:54Listen, uh...
26:55Just let me say, I saw that little bump and run that Walker laid on you
26:58and I told him it was a cheap shot.
27:00But being a new kid on the block, he's just looking out for me.
27:03That's all it is.
27:05A lot of people looking out for you, aren't there, James?
27:08Yes, they are.
27:10Look, I'm the sports editor on the West Beverly Blaze.
27:13School paper.
27:14Yeah.
27:15And, uh, we have reason to believe you've been recruited here
27:18to play basketball in exchange for certain special privileges.
27:23Say what?
27:24Come on, James.
27:26You live out of district, you never go to class,
27:29and I understand your transcript doesn't show any prior grades
27:32or test scores or anything to indicate that you even have
27:35the minimum requirements to be at this school,
27:37or any school, for that matter.
27:39Who gave you the right to be poking around with my record?
27:41That's not the issue.
27:42It is to the issue.
27:43If I was white, you wouldn't be doing this.
27:45I don't care if you're white or black.
27:47You shouldn't be here on a free pass.
27:49Yeah, right.
27:53Truth's gonna come out, James.
28:06Good-bye, Kelly.
28:09Kelly, good-bye.
28:11I'm gone. I went. Good-bye.
28:14Kelly, call me.
28:16Good-bye.
28:18She is so nuts, that girl.
28:21Because Mom and Dad are going out tonight,
28:23she thinks I should sneak out on this blind date with her
28:26and a guy she just met.
28:28Brenda.
28:30Brenda, don't do it.
28:32You know you'll only get caught.
28:34Brandon, I'm not a fool.
28:37Although they are renting a limo.
28:40Hey, do you want half or what?
28:42No, thanks. I'm just gonna grab something later.
28:45Be careful up there.
28:47Dad just found his yearbook in the garage.
28:50Again.
28:53Kennedy was a lug of lard,
28:56but he made a fortune in real estate.
28:58He must have had something on the ball.
29:00O'Brien had a nice touch for a role player.
29:04I had my moments,
29:06especially when I nailed that shot
29:08with that buzzer to Pete Franklin.
29:10Oh, yeah.
29:12That's right.
29:14That's right.
29:16That's right.
29:18That's right.
29:21Well, we weren't a gifted bunch,
29:24but together we pulled off a championship season.
29:27Teamwork, that's the key, Brandon.
29:29That's what you have to strive for.
29:35You rushed me to get me out the door by 7.15.
29:38You're not even dressed yet.
29:40I don't get to be so late.
29:42Time flies when you're double dribbling down memory lane.
29:47Hey, you look real nice, Mom.
29:49I'm glad someone noticed.
29:51What time are you going to be home tonight?
29:53I don't know. I got the late shift.
29:56The final day of trials is tomorrow
29:58when you're working the late shift?
30:00Well, if you'd pay my car insurance, Dad,
30:02I'd happily take an early retirement.
30:05If you make the team tomorrow, maybe we'll talk about it.
30:08Really?
30:10Absolutely.
30:12Jim!
30:14That's bribery.
30:16A little incentive program never hurt anybody.
30:19Besides, in my humble opinion,
30:22I've always felt student athletes deserve a little bonus
30:25for putting in all those extra hours.
30:27Do yourself a favor.
30:29From now on, do not under any circumstances
30:32listen to anything that man has to say about anything.
30:36Do you hear me?
30:43Brandon?
30:47♪ Been a while since you've been around
30:51♪ Lifetime since it all went down
30:54♪ Thought that I would die but now
30:57♪ Everything is clear
31:00♪ So hurt by the things you do
31:03♪ Knew how to keep my demons from the well
31:07♪ You're gone
31:09♪ But I am still here
31:12Hello?
31:14Hello?
31:16Rescue me.
31:18Where are you?
31:20In hell.
31:22Bonnie!
31:24Janet Jackson has laryngitis.
31:26Kenny is drunk.
31:28And you have to come and get me.
31:30Why do I have to?
31:32Because if you would have gone out with us,
31:34Kenny wouldn't have puked all over the limos.
31:36Gross!
31:38Malto gross.
31:40How soon can you be here?
31:42I am hanging up now. Have a nice life.
31:44How can you ask me to pick you up?
31:46You know I don't have a California driver's license.
31:48But you're a good driver, right?
31:50That is what you said, right?
31:52Well, yeah.
31:54So?
31:56So Brandon took his bike to work.
31:58I guess I can borrow Mondale.
32:00You guys have a driver?
32:02No. Mondale's the name of his car.
32:04It's for Walter Mondale.
32:06Ran for president against Reagan?
32:10From Minnesota?
32:12Whatever.
32:14Look, if you took the car right now,
32:16you'd be back in ten minutes, max.
32:18Kelly, I don't know.
32:20Come on. Brandon will never know the difference.
32:22Please?
32:24You're my best friend.
32:26I am.
32:28Please?
32:33I'll give you your obnoxious, you creep!
32:36Just forget him.
32:39You're doing fine.
32:41You're doing finer than fine. You're fine.
32:43Where the hell is Doheny?
32:45Okay, come on, Brenda.
32:47Come on. Don't lose it, baby.
32:49You're doing great.
32:51Everything's under control.
32:53I mean, you know how to drive.
32:55You're a good driver.
32:57You're a great driver.
32:59You're a terrific driver.
33:01And you're...
33:03out of gas?
33:08What?
33:38Hi.
33:52How's it going?
33:54Bad.
33:56And getting worse.
33:58My car ran out of gas.
34:00Actually, it's my brother's car.
34:02What happened?
34:04Mostly to me.
34:06I've been driving around for the past 20 minutes
34:08trying to get to, uh, Doheny and Melrose.
34:10Two dollars for the pub.
34:16Oh, my God.
34:18Oh, my God.
34:20You don't have your wallet.
34:22I am so bummed.
34:25These things happen.
34:27So bummed.
34:29They happen.
34:31It's in my other jacket. I promise. I swear.
34:33It's okay. Things happen.
34:35I'll pay you back first thing tomorrow.
34:37I promise I will.
34:39Where's your car, Bart?
34:47I swear the car was right here 15 minutes ago.
34:50I swear it was.
34:52You sure this is where you left it?
34:54My brother is going to kill me.
34:56Just tell him things happen.
34:59You see,
35:01with mayonnaise,
35:03you can't be too specific.
35:05Okay?
35:07Iceberg lettuce,
35:09romaine lettuce,
35:11red leaf lettuce,
35:13you can put on as much as you want
35:15as long as it's fresh and crunchy.
35:17But mayonnaise
35:19is an acquired taste.
35:21Nat, uh...
35:23And, you know, if you put too much in,
35:25it's too soggy.
35:27Too little, it's too dry.
35:29And then when you factor in the mustard
35:31and the mayonnaise, well, you can see
35:33it takes years of practice to get it right.
35:35That's why I was hoping
35:37we could start practicing tomorrow night.
35:39What, are you in a hurry?
35:41I got to get these books back to the library
35:43before they start costing me.
35:45I knew there was a reason I hired you.
35:47Get out of here.
35:49Thanks, Nat.
35:51See you tomorrow.
35:53All right.
35:55It's nice.
36:01What are you doing here?
36:03I don't have to justify myself to you.
36:05Hey, I just asked a simple question.
36:07No, it's not simple at all.
36:09What you're really asking is
36:11how come a dumb, black jock
36:13who can't read and who...
36:15Hey, I never said that, James.
36:17Right.
36:19I'm sorry.
36:21I'm sorry.
36:23I'm sorry.
36:25I'm sorry.
36:27I'm sorry.
36:29Hey, I never said that, James.
36:31Right.
36:33You just would answer my questions
36:35about the Applied Learning Opportunity Program.
36:37How should I know about the learning program?
36:39I'm not a part of it.
36:41You weren't recruited here to play basketball?
36:43That's right.
36:45But you don't live in the district, do you?
36:47Caught me red-handed.
36:49I just want to know if you got permission
36:51to go to school in the district.
36:53I don't need permission.
36:55My father has worked for the Beverly Hills
36:57and he gave me as much right to be here as anyone.
36:59Hold it down, please.
37:01Including you.
37:03So the reason the ALOP office didn't have your records
37:05is because you're not part of their program?
37:07I already told you.
37:09I'm here because my father earned a right for me to be here.
37:11Not because I was recruited or because I want to be.
37:13I don't know what to say.
37:15Then why don't you try saying nothing?
37:17I was getting by fine in Inglewood
37:19when my parents decided it was time to upgrade my education
37:21four weeks into the semester,
37:23making me have to play catch-up from the get-go.
37:25Sounds like what happened to me.
37:27Yeah, right.
37:29That's why your old man tried to suck up to the coach.
37:31Hey, that's not what went down at all.
37:33Shit, I love it.
37:35You rich white boys, you get the world handed to you,
37:37no strings attached, and you honestly think
37:39that's how it is for everyone.
37:41Excuse me, I don't know whose bank account you've been looking at,
37:43but I am not rich.
37:45Yeah, but you're white,
37:47and that's why your first impulse was to think,
37:49hey, he's got to be dumb or a rap singer
37:51or in a gang or smoking crack
37:53or whatever stereotype fits your fears.
37:55But that's your problem.
37:57That's not my problem.
37:59So what if I need a little extra help
38:01adjusting to life at the almighty
38:03West Beverly High School?
38:05So what if I use my God-given talent
38:07to get me into the college of my choice?
38:09I ain't got nothing to hide,
38:11got nothing to be ashamed of,
38:13and nothing more to say to you.
38:23I love you.
38:37Mom?
38:39Brandon!
38:43We called you at work, but you'd already left.
38:45What's the matter?
38:47Your car's been stolen.
38:49My deal's been stolen?
38:51What?
38:53How did that happen?
38:55It was a professional wiring job.
38:57We've seen it before.
38:59They must have come right up the driveway.
39:01Why would anyone in Beverly Hills
39:03want to steal a 78 Bomber?
39:05Once you cross the border,
39:07a power engine in good condition
39:09can bring three times its market value.
39:11My engine was in mint condition.
39:13I'm so sorry, Brandon.
39:15We're all sorry.
39:17But the best thing you can do now, son,
39:19is to put it to bed
39:21and give it our best shot tomorrow, huh?
39:25What if I don't give it my best shot tomorrow, Dad?
39:27Like I already said,
39:29if you don't make the team,
39:31the sun still shines, the moon still gets up...
39:33No, I mean, what if I don't even try out tomorrow?
39:35What if I just quit the team right now?
39:37Brandon, what's the matter?
39:39Hey, well, find you a different car.
39:41Who said I wanted a different car?
39:43Well, I just assumed that you...
39:45That's right, you assumed!
39:47You assumed I wanted a different car.
39:49You assumed I wanted to play high school basketball.
39:51You assumed I wanted to move to Beverly Hills.
39:53But you never came out and asked me.
39:55You just jumped to your own conclusions
39:57because that's what you wanted to believe.
39:59Well, guess again.
40:07How can you say I push him too hard?
40:09I'm not overcritical or overbearing.
40:13But you don't take a low profile, either.
40:17Okay, maybe I prod him a little,
40:19but that's because Brandon is a natural athlete.
40:23He's much better than I ever was.
40:27All he needs is a little motivation
40:29and a little space
40:31and the room to fail
40:33and the freedom to be his own person.
40:41Okay, yeah.
40:43Maybe he could use a little of that, too.
40:47Okay.
40:55Brandon.
40:57When they came up the driveway to steal the car,
40:59how come you didn't hear anything?
41:09How could you take my car without asking me?
41:11Kelly was in such dark straits
41:13I didn't even stop to think about it.
41:15Well, that's the way it's been
41:17ever since we moved to Beverly Hills, Brandon.
41:19You not stopping and thinking about anyone or anything
41:21except for Kelly and her little inner circling.
41:23You know what?
41:25It's getting real boring.
41:27Brandon, you're right. You are.
41:29And I'm going to pay you back.
41:31I promise, and I'll do anything you want.
41:35Just don't tell Mom, please.
41:37Don't tell her what?
41:39That you took my car or that you lied to her about it?
41:41How was I supposed to know Mondo was running out of gas?
41:43You checked the gas gauge.
41:45Like any qualified driver,
41:47you get in the car, you put on your seatbelt,
41:49you adjust the mirror, you check the gas gauge.
41:53Brandon, that's it.
41:55What's it?
41:57It's because of Debbie Dillman's mother.
41:59Excuse me?
42:01Don't you remember?
42:03We were in the back seat when she rammed into that tree
42:05and we couldn't go over and play at Debbie's all summer long
42:07because her mother was in a body cast?
42:09That's why I'm great at everything I do
42:11but driving.
42:13Brenda,
42:15that was 11 years ago.
42:17Get over it.
42:23Hey, Brandon.
42:27I'm sorry. I know how much making the team means to you.
42:31Well, to tell you the truth, Brenda,
42:33I got a lot of things on my mind right now.
42:37A lot of things.
42:41A lot of things.
43:11Hey, mind if I shoot around with you?
43:17It's a free country.
43:41All right.
43:43All right.
44:09Thought the gym would be empty this early.
44:13Usually is.
44:19You have a nice touch.
44:23Thanks.
44:31Listen, I thought a lot about what was said last night
44:35and I can't pretend that in my mind you weren't guilty.
44:39Not because you're black
44:41but so I'd have a better shot at making the team.
44:45I mean, growing up in Minnesota,
44:49racial relations just wasn't something I thought about
44:53or had to deal with so much.
44:59Hey, I got news for you.
45:01There aren't too many cowboys riding herd
45:03in downtown Inglewood either.
45:05Yeah, but that's just it.
45:07I'm not a cowboy
45:09and you're not a gangbanger crackhead.
45:11We're just two guys from the same school
45:15battling for the same spot on the same team.
45:23Coach Riley's
45:25probably only gonna take one of us, you know.
45:31Well, smart money's on you.
45:35Not necessarily.
45:37Not the way you play defense.
45:41You wanna go one-on-one?
45:45Yeah, sure.
45:55Brandon, you didn't have to apologize
45:57for wanting this as bad as I do.
45:59I know.
46:01You take it out.
46:07Oh, Brandon, you're early.
46:09I need to talk to you
46:11about driver's training experience, Mr. Carton.
46:15When I struck Henry Winkler the other day,
46:17it struck me that maybe emotionally
46:19I'm incapable of ever learning how to drive.
46:21Brenda,
46:23a new driver
46:25is always a new driver.
46:27You know,
46:29a new driver
46:31is always a new driver.
46:33I don't know how to drive.
46:35Brenda,
46:37a new driver is only as good
46:39as his or her instructor.
46:41You really think so?
46:43Absolutely.
46:45And I assure you
46:47it is only a matter of time
46:49before you find
46:51a different teacher
46:53with great reflexes
46:55and a profound death wish.
46:59So you think that I should drop the course, huh?
47:01Or consider some alternative form
47:03of transportation,
47:05like walking.
47:09How about instead
47:11we walk over to the driver's training parking lot
47:13and give those reflexes a workout?
47:25Miss Yamada finally got my laser phaser to work.
47:27Yeah? What'd she do?
47:29She plugged it in.
47:31Not too mortified.
47:33What do you mean
47:35trust me there's no story there?
47:37What did James say when you confronted him?
47:39He said I shouldn't be afraid to pop
47:41from the perimeter.
47:53Hey, Minnesota.
47:55Hey, Andy.
47:59Hey.
48:03Don't let those suckers intimidate you, Brandon.
48:05This is our school, not theirs.
48:07Only in your mind, Steve.
48:29An outdoor barbecue in October.
48:31I love it.
48:33Do you want chicken or steak?
48:35Whatever's easy.
48:39You were on the road early this morning?
48:41Yeah, I couldn't sleep much last night.
48:43How'd it go?
48:45Well, it came down to me and this guy
48:47and he said,
48:49well, you know,
48:51if you're going to do it,
48:53you're going to do it right.
48:55And I said,
48:57well, it came down to me and this guy
48:59named James. Good guy.
49:01Anyway, the coach thinks
49:03I could use a year on the B team
49:05under my belt.
49:07All right. Makes sense.
49:09I'm sorry, Dad.
49:11What for?
49:13Getting some quality playing time
49:15is much better than riding the bench.
49:17Yeah, but it's not like nailing a shot
49:19at the buzzer in front of the whole school.
49:21Brandon,
49:23the shot I made to beat Franklin
49:25was a fluke.
49:27It was a glorious fluke.
49:29But the only reason
49:31Coach Eoring put me in was because
49:33everyone else had already fouled out.
49:35If it was either that
49:37or we would have had to forfeit the game.
49:41So much for your old man's
49:43glory days.
49:45Yeah, well,
49:47you still have
49:49a fairly decent shot
49:51for a dinosaur.
49:53This dinosaur
49:55is going to kick your butt
49:57in horse.
49:59Two out of three.
50:01I'm up for it.
50:05Brandon, it's Lockdale.
50:07Lockdale?
50:09Lockdale?
50:11Lockdale?
50:13Brandon, it's Lockdale.
50:15I never thought I'd
50:17see this puppy again.
50:19Neither did I.
50:21I am so happy you don't know.
50:23It's the screwiest thing.
50:25Seems one of our trucks towed it over
50:27to the impound lot last night.
50:29Well, the important thing is that it's back.
50:31Add one piece and everything's great.
50:33Well, you're just lucky the perps
50:35weren't Phi Beta Kappa.
50:37They abandoned the car right in the middle
50:39of the intersection.
50:41He's right in the ignition.
50:43Well, isn't that tricky, Chase?
51:11Yeah.
51:13Yeah.
51:15Yeah.
51:17Yeah.
51:19Yeah.
51:21Yeah.
51:23Yeah.
