Beverly Hills 90210: The Lost Episode - "The 90210 Kids Go To New York"
The Walsh siblings, Brandon and Brenda, played by Jason Priestley and Shannen Doherty, hit the NY nightlife with their loyal friend Steve, played by Ian Ziering, and Dylan, portrayed by Luke Perry. After a night of heavy drinking they hit the subways to head back to their respective overnight hotels. Dylan leaves the friends and suggests to Brandon that he gets Steve home in one piece, since he seems like he's in the worst shape. As they're walking in to the subway station, Steve begin to sober up, and Brandon begins to feel the alcohol's effects and begins acting more irritable and belligerent. Here is an excerpt from the script from the subway car scene:
CUT IN: INT. NYC SUBWAY CAR - NIGHT
THE SUBWAY CAR IS PACKED WITH PEOPLE, FROM THE NEW YORK CITY NIGHLIFE.
STEVE IS HOLDING ON TO THE CENTER POLE WITH HIS LEFT HAND. BRANDON IS TOTTERING AND HOLDING ON TO THE POLE WITH ALTERNATING HANDS, OBVIOUSLY INTOXICATED, WHILE BRENDA IS IN BETWEEN THE BOTH OF THEM. STEVE REACHES OUT OCCASIONALLY WITH HIS RIGHT HAND TO GRAB BRENDA'S ELBOW TO STEADY HER IN THE MOVING TRAIN WHILE SHE REACHES INTO HER PURSE FOR SOME GUM.
BRANDON: (IN DRUNKEN SLUR) I'm taking you home, man.
STEVE (AMUSED, WITH SLIGHT CHUCKLE): Brandon, I'm fine. I'm gonna take you to your train station.
BRENDA: Yeah, Brandon. We'll take you. (TO STEVE) Do you want some gum?
BRANDON (RAISING VOICE TO STEVE): What are you laughing at?
STEVE LOOKS UP AND WHEN HIS EYES MAKE CONTACT WITH BRANDON, BRANDON THROWS A QUICK JAB TO STEVE'S FACE, HITTING HIM IN THE MOUTH. STEVE REELS BACK, SHOCKED, WITH BLOOD ON HIS LIP. THE ENTIRE SUBWAY CAR IS STARING AT THE TRIO.
BRENDA: (SCREAMING AT BRANDON) What are you doing?! Calm down!
STEVE LOOKS SHOCKED, BUT DOESN'T PREPARE TO FIGHT BACK. HE INSTEAD LOOKS AT THE ONCOMING GAZES OF THE PASSENGERS, REALIZING THAT THIS COULD BECOME CHAOTIC IF INSTIGATED. BRANDON DRUNKENLY STAGGERS BACK, LETTING GO OF THE POLE AND SLAMMING HIS BACK AGAINST THE SUBWAY CAR WALL.
This Friday night, I was Ian Ziering. And I got punched in my mouth from a very drunken friend. And I do not regret not punching him back, but will wonder how awkward this will be for the both of us next time I see him sober.
