since he was 10.

No, he gets

really sick.

It's not like you remember.

Talk to him.

- I didn't come home to talk to Julian.

- Please.

- I got to go.

- No, um--

Do you ever think

about me?

Do you?

Yeah.

All the time.

# Kick it #

#Yeah #

No, not beautiful

beautiful--

Beautiful.

- Who's he going with?

- Nobody!

Who was he

going with?

He is not a slut.

He hasn't slept with anybody.

He's a nun!

Swear?

He slept

with Kim--once.

The hit list.

Hey!

Tequila shot,

and a shotgun for my buddy.

What do you think?

It's one barrel,

two shots, huh?

Quench that thirst

for revenge?

- When did you get back?

- Today.

Well, you look

very collegiate.

- How was it?

- What?

School.

Harder than I thought.

Still pissed?

No.

Liar.

I'm not.

Well, it's been sentimental.

Got to go.

We'll bring Clay with us.

Clay!

- Clay!

- Clay!

- Hello!

- Hi!

I'm out of here,

guys.

No, you're not.

This is the holiday hour.

You can't argue

with him.

We'll go out--

just the three of us.

Whoa! Blackout!

Listen, you must party

with Julian and Blair.

How long is this

going to last?

I'm out of here,

guys.

I will beg.

Blair will plead.

Please.

Please.

Ok, fine.

It's your loss.

Let's do it!

Julian!

Come here!

Thank you.

Oh, what do I do?

You guys have heard

of the Panic Club?

Ninth and Figueroa.

You guys are from Reseda?

Just kidding.

No, I'm about to own it.

Be nice to Julian,

would you, please?

Sure.

You don't understand.

He tried so hard.

That record deal fell apart.

He lost his money his father gave him.

But he wouldn't give up.

He borrowed money from Rip.

He worked day and night.

He did everything he could

to keep it going.

Nothing helped.

Julian was so hurt.

I don't think he ever really,

you know, failed before.

He got high

all the time.

Once he faced his father,

he was so f***ed up

Mr. Wells finally

kicked him out.

Julian needs you, Clay.

He was always there for you.

Hey.

Cheer up, will you?

It's Christmas.

Remember the infamous

coffee cup?

Oh, no, don't, please.

Oh, yes. How to seduce Blair

without really trying.

There's the smile.

It's nice to see it again.

that's half our lives.

# Livin' in a shack

in a one-horse town #

#Tryin' to get to heaven

'fore the sun goin' down #

# Lizard in a bottle, yeah #

# Dizzy in a haze

for 40 days #

# Hey there,

little devil #

Got a minute,

sweetheart?

Surely.

We gots to talk

business, friend.

Relax. I'll pay you.

Just trust me.

I don't want to

trust you.

I just want my 50K.

Patience is next

to godliness.

It's the flip side

of cleanliness,

but it's still pretty

f***in' important.

What are we talking about,

Julian?

- You giving me a ''G'' on spec.

- No. No way.

Very attractive girls

falling all over me for some blow.

Just hook me.

No.

This is the last time.

As soon as the club deal goes through,

I'm recashing you every penny.

I hope so.

Well, don't hope.

Trust.

# Lizard in a bottle, yeah #

# Come in, little devil #

# Be my little angel #

# Come on, little devil #

# Be my-y-y a-a-angel ##

# I believe #

# I believe #

Huh?

- What are you listening to?

- What?

I can't...

some kind of

Eastern philosophy?

# I believe ya #

# I believe #

# I believe #

What's your name?

Richard.

Hi.

You're gonna give me

a negative self-image.

Impossible.

This is great,

isn't it?

The three of us together,

seeing you again.

You happy or sad?

I'm not sad.

You don't look happy.

But do I look good?

Always.

You're gonna get

real serious now, huh?

No.

I'm sorry.

What for?

Everything.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I just wish that you knew.

It's not the same

with you and me.

It's not the same.

Well, what's it like?

When you left,

you left the both of us.

Everything just changed

so quickly.

Julian needed somebody.

I guess I needed

somebody, too.

It doesn't matter.

Forget it.

- Did you talk to Julian?

- No.

I asked you

to talk to him.

All right, I'll call Betty Ford,

get him a room.

-Just talk to him. He's your friend too.

-It's funny.

When you called me,

I thought I was coming home to see you.

# Stop actin' so crazy #

#You say your mommy ain't home,

it ain't my concern #

#Just don't play with me,

and you won't get burned #

# I have only

one itchin' desire #

# Let me stand

next to your fire #

# Stand, yeah #

# Let me stand, baby #

# Let me stand #

# Ohh, let me stand #

#Aow! #

# Oh, move over, Rover #

#And let Jimi take over #

#Yeah, you know

what I'm talkin' about #

#Yeah,

get on with it, baby #

#That's what I'm

talkin' about #

# Now, dig this #

# Now, listen, baby #

#You try to give me

your money #

#You better save it, babe #

# Save it

for your rainy day #

# I have only

one burnin' desire #

# Let me stand

next to your fire ##

Thought I'd

find you here.

I'm having trouble

at home.

Which one?

All of them.

Who drove?

You did.

Ahh.

Oh, parking is key.

You ever think

about going back?

Where?

School. I did.

I just like

dropped by,

took a nostalgic

walk around.

And?

It was weird.

All the kids

had grown up.

It wasn't like it was

when we were there.

Think they miss us?

No.

Come on, Clay Easton,

Julian Wells--

Legends, baby.

We could do anything.

What are you going to do?

Take a nap.

After that?

Business.

Are you dealing?

My most lofty ambition

is to deal.

You look bad.

What's going on?

I'm serious.

I'm seriously getting frustrated

with these questions.

Someday we're gonna

look back on this.

It's all gonna seem groovy.

- Are you going to see Blair?

- Yeah. She's working downtown.

Give her my love.

The soap is fine.

There are flecks on her neck.

You can't see anything.

Take care of the flecks.

Great. Great.

Sign the contracts

for next week's shoot.

We got to get

them signed.

If you want a new bar,

get rid of the flecks.

This shoot better be over by Friday.

I've got Rose Bowl tickets.

Come in.

Hi.

I always wondered about

the glamorous life of a fashion model.

Well, now you know.

Oh, my neck

is killing me.

Will you rub my neck?

Yeah.

- I spoke with Julian.

- Yeah?

He doesn't want my help.

Oh, Julian is a mess.

He's out of control.

You saw him.

And you're not?

I can quit anytime.

It's all the control

I need.

I'm impressed.

Do you want to go out tonight?

We could go to some clubs.

No.

I'm taking off

right after Christmas.

Why?
