When David strolls over to join their hallway klatch, Steve gives him a preemptive no to the party invitation. Steve thinks all the stuff in the time capsule is lame, but then he's in a cranky mood 'cause David keeps pestering him, along with the rest of the gang, to attend Scott Scanlon's birthday party. The gang is standing around the hallway, looking at a glass display case that contains the various items that were uncovered from the 1941 time capsule. This pleases the yokel, and it's also good news for all the country western aficionados at West Beverly High. As a concession, he gives Scott free reign in the DJ booth to play whatever he wants. He invites him to come over, but David declines and tells him he's busy. In lieu of a greeting, David irritably barks at him to lose the Stetson - but Scott ignores the catty reprimand and reminds David that it's his birthday this weekend. Scott, still wearing his giant cowboy hat, drops by to see David. In a couple of days, she too will feel really, really shitty that she said that.ĭJ booth.

He begs a girl who used to date Scott in middle school to come, but she turns him down flat and orders him to not speak of her romantic history with Scott. Scanlon is very weird, and spending any amount of time in her orbit is bound to be uncomfortable.įor the rest of the day, David tries to scare up guests for Scott's party. David is too nice to tell her that he can not be part of this social disaster in the making because: a) he's no longer Scott's best friend, which means that the birthday boy barely has one friend, let alone twenty-five, b) if my timeline of this episode is accurate, the party is tomorrow, and c) Mrs. David tries to beg off by telling her that he can't come because he's MC-ing a dance that night, but she gives him a haughty lecture about how he's Scott's best friend in the whole world and can't not be part of his birthday celebration. She's planning a surprise birthday party for her son on Saturday night and wants David to help out with the guest list by inviting twenty-five of Scott's closest friends. Later that day, a high-strung, middle aged woman hiding behind a tree beckons David over. A couple of days from now he's going to feel really, really shitty that he did that.

He explains to Ahn-drea that he can't be expected to honor a half-hearted commitment he made to her out of guilt more than two months ago. For a second I got worried that this is supposed to be a real date, but fortunately Brandon is blowing her off because he made plans to go out with Emily that night. On stage, Ahn-drea reminds Brandon that they have long-standing plans to go see Citizen Kane on Saturday night. That done, he zooms in on Dylan and Brenda, both of whom bitchily roll their eyes and snap at him like he's an annoying paparazzo. ) After that, David shifts his camera into the crowd where Kelly, Donna, and Steve are standing, and spends a few minutes gushing about how super cool and popular they are.
