This is my country
Land of my birth
This is my country
Grandest on earth
I pledge thee my allegiance
America the bold
For this is my country
To have and to hold
This is my country
That's Brandon Walsh with the editorial board.
Andrea Zuckerman, editor-in-chief of the Blaze.
Mrs. Teasley. Mr. Chapman.
The three amigos, Steve, Kelly and Donna.
Dylan McKay and Brenda Walsh, popular campus couple.
Silver, I told you about that thing, man. Come on.
I pledge thee my allegiance
America the bold
For this is my country
To have and to hold
How many verses are there in this song, anyway?
I'm just curious.
Brandon, before I forget, Citizen Kane is Saturday night.
You're kidding.
Isn't it amazing how it was made the same year
as the time capsule we're unveiling?
Yeah. Except I made plans with Emily Saturday night.
How'd you expect me to remember?
You bought those tickets two months ago.
Well, if you'd rather go out with her
than see a classic from Hollywood's golden age, I understand.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
This is my native land
Thank you. That was terrific.
I'd also like to thank our special guests from the Class of '41,
who invite all of you to take a closer look at the time capsule.
Thank you. We'll see you tomorrow.
Silver, cut it out, will you?
Just one sound bite, please. That's all I ask.
It was very interesting learning about what happened on this campus
the night Pearl Harbor was bombed.
Yeah, if I had been around back then,
I would have definitely signed up to be a Navy flyboy, know what I mean?
McKay's a wimp. I would have been a Marine.
No, no, no. I would've worn my hair like Betty Grable.
Wait a second. Aren't you the same people
who were just putting down the video yearbook?
If anything should be preserved for posterity, it should be me.
- No, you mean me. - Me.
Thanks a lot, guys. That was great.
- Excuse me? I'm sorry. - Really?
What do you say we do it one more time
- so I can get a few cutaways? - What do you say we don't.
- What is this? - So it was really fun doing that
man-on-the-street interview with you.
- Yeah, yeah. - Guys, let's just do it.
- Geek. - Wait, wait, where do I go?
- How do you think it came out? - Scott, I haven't looked at it yet.
We just shot it before the assembly today.
Oh. Right.
- What? - You're in.
- What do I say? - As soon as you're ready, Kelly.
Okay, I'm ready, I'm ready. Let's see.
If I could have anything in that time capsule,
it would be that snood right there.
I would not wear a snood in my hair.
David.
Mrs. Scanlon, I just saw Scott-
Do you remember what Saturday is?
- The big game? - No. It's the big birthday.
It's Scott's birthday.
Now, what I thought we would do is give him a party he will never forget.
You know, I don't think Saturday is such a good day.
But it's his birthday.
Well, yeah, but see, I'm MCing this big dance going on that night.
David Silver, I am surprised at you.
You are Scott's oldest and closest friend in the whole wide world.
I can't even conceive of having a surprise party for Scott
if you're not there. He'd be so disappointed.
He'd never forgive either of us. Now, who should we invite?
You mean you haven't invited anyone?
About 25 kids would be perfect, don't you think?
Yeah.
Denise, you have to come.
You were Scott's girlfriend in the fifth grade. You owe it to him.
I don't owe him anything
and don't keep saying he was my boyfriend.
It's embarrassing now.
Can I come in?
Sure.
Just please lose that hat.
You know, it's my birthday tomorrow.
Listen, I know it's Big Game Weekend
but I'm going out for dinner tomorrow night,
and later on, if you wanted to stop by...
I'd love to but I'm gonna be tied up pretty late.
It's cool.
Scott.
Happy birthday, man.
- Go ahead. Go ahead. - Thanks.
Anything you want.
They put the lamest stuff in this time capsule.
Oh, like you could do any better.
I could do better than a greasy pocket comb.
- Oh, don't look now. - Hi, guys.
David, for the eighth time the answer is no.
What was the question?
Didn't Brenda tell you about the surprise party
- going on tomorrow night? - Oh, sorry, dude. I'll be in Baja.
Well, when do I get to go on one of these surfing safaris with you?
When you're willing to get your hair wet.
- Bye. - Listen, guys.
All you have to do is make an appearance.
- David, we don't even know this guy. - But he knows you.
It would make his whole year, his whole life.
I'll go.
- I mean, if anyone else will. - Yeah, who else is going?
I'm not sure.
I hate surprise parties.
Sorry, David.
- Maybe next year. - Maybe never.
You know, I don't get why you agreed to put together a birthday party
on Big Game Weekend.
- Everyone's going to the dance. - It's his mother.
She makes me feel like I'm 8 years old.
I've known Scott my whole life. She was my den mother.
- Yeah, but still, you don't have- - No, I know, I made a mistake.
I barely even talk to the guy anymore.
But I promised.
The party's gonna be a total disaster when nobody shows up.
Look, I'll see what I can do, okay?
All right, thanks.
Spencer, I asked you not to do that.
David, where are all the kids you invited?
Scott's gonna be here any minute.
Well, I'm not exactly sure who's coming yet.
That was your department.
Well, yeah, I know,
but I told you it was gonna be hard on such short notice to get-
I'm sure you did the best you could. Bradly!
Get everybody in the foyer, please. He's gonna be here any second.
Come on, come on. Come on.
Scott says you got a couple rad new guns in your collection.
Guilty as charged.
So do you think we'd take some target practise out back
when Scott gets home?
Well, guns aren't toys. They're weapons.
They should always be treated as such.
- Mr. Scanlon- - Conrad, what are you doing?
Tinka called. They're gonna be here any second.
- Well, nobody told me. - Let's go, please.
Okay, Davey, you heard what the woman said.
- Let's have a party. - David, the lights.
They're coming.
- Surprise! - Oh, my God.
See why I hate these things?
You came.
Kids, kids, come on in. You'll ruin the surprise.
I don't believe this.
Spencer.
- That's it, I'm out of here. - No, Steve, forget it.
Only reason Brandon agreed to come is because I swore that you'd be here.
- And if you're not, he'll kill me. - Conrad!
Are you sure this is the right house?
Yeah, Brenda said 5070 Foothill Drive.
Well, if there's a party, how come it's so dark?
Oh, God, they didn't do the surprise yet.
We better get out of here.
Hey, Brandon. What are you doing here?
Well, you know, Scott, we were just out walking Emily's dog.
Right.
What dog?
Surprise.
Fooled you. Fooled you.
No, as soon as I saw them, I knew.
Scott, I totally forgot it was a surprise, man. I'm sorry.
It's cool. Is Brenda here?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Brenda and Steve and Kelly and Donna.
They're all here? Inside? Far out.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Thanks for everything, Mom.
- Happy birthday, Scott. - Thanks.
Well, as long as you're here, you might as well join the gang.
Thanks.
Well, we really pulled it off, huh?
I don't know, David. These friends you invited...
First, they ruin the surprise and not a single one brings a present.
But I guess we'll just have to make the best of it, won't we?
David, are you coming in?
I can't believe how clueless that woman is.
Who? Scott's mom?
She acts like the party was ruined because of me and my friends
when she should be thanking me for saving it.
It's not like Scott's Mr. Popular.
No one would've even showed up if it wasn't for you and me.
Scott.
How long did we commit to be here?
We're on borrowed time as it is.
David, unless you do something drastic, this party is history.
Well, can't you get them to hang on until Mrs. Scanlon brings the cake?
Everyone line up. It's limbo time.
That is it. I'm out of here.
We're right behind you.
Mom, my friends don't wanna do the limbo.
I'm sorry, we tried.
Come with me, come on.
Scott, you have yourself a happy birthday, all right, pal?
Wait a minute, you can't go.
Oh, well, it's getting awfully late.
I mean, will you look at that? It's 8:30 already.
Guys, guys, guys, I have an announcement.
I need your help. Excuse me.
Okay. Now, today's Scott's birthday
and in order for me to give him his present,
you guys have to come get in a line.
- So come on. - We should make a run for it now.
No, Steve, Kelly. Come on, don't be shy.
Brandon, Brenda, Emily, all of you. Come on.
- Steve. - Silver.
Now, if any of you have ever seen Scott dance, it's not a pretty sight.
So I need you guys to help me teach
this major stud how to dance.
Music, maestro.
This must be our punishment for being late.
Okay, okay, we got the beat.
Go on, fellas, go on. Okay.
Now, everybody get into it. Come on.
Okay, all right. Scott, you're off beat.
It's one, two, three.
Yeah, good. Kind of getting into it.
That's- That's cool.
And Brandon's just not even doing anything but standing there.
Brandon, come on. Brandon, Brandon, Brandon.
Emily, can you help me with the-? No?
Okay, okay.
Scott, it's dancing. Not a StairMaster.
- Yeah, I got it. I know. - Come on.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, everybody, follow along. Follow along.
Brenda's got it.
Go, Scott. Go, Scott. Go, Scott.
- Go, go, go. - All right.
Okay. Okay.
- Wait, wait. - You got it.
You got it. Yeah.
- Okay. - Get them hips in it, baby.
Hey, look out.
Okay. Come on.
What are you doing? He's doing this thing.
Oh, my God.
Okay, time for birthday cake.
- I was just getting the hang of it. - You can do more later.
The kids have to go to bed. I don't want Darlene to get off her schedule.
Okay, let's round everybody up. Come on, Spencer.
Spencer, pyjamas on before cake.
Where's Brandon?
Spencer, your pyjamas are in the closet. Go put them on, please.
Hi.
- I'm sorry you feel that way. - Brandon, where are you going?
We appear to be setting a bad example and we've been asked to leave.
- I think that would be best. - Yeah.
Well, if you're out of here, we're out of here.
I'll get Kelly.
- Brandon, I'm really sorry. - That's not your fault, pal.
- Peach Pit? - Yeah, let's go see Nat.
Scott, hope this didn't ruin your party, man.
- No. Thanks. - Thanks for coming.
- I really appreciate it. - You're welcome. Bye.
- Bye. Happy birthday. - Bye, Brenda.
You can come with us, you know.
- Well... - It's okay.
I know you'd rather be with your friends.
No, I think I'll stay.
I promised his cousin I'd teach her how to Freak.
Okay. Bye. Bye.
Bye, Donna.
- Thanks for everything. - No problem, man.
Excuse me. This is my favourite part.
Spencer, get your fingers out of the icing.
Mom, why'd you make those kids leave?
I wanted to see them make out some more.
We don't have any matches, David.
- I'll get them. - Get the lighter off my desk, son.
Can I have the horse and the Indian?
No, you cannot. It's Scott's birthday, he gets the toys.
- Big piece. - Big piece.
- Found some matches. - Oh, good. Somebody get Scott.
- Davey. - Scott.
Thank you.
Scott, come on, they found some-
Hey, David. Check this out.
Scott.
Scott. Scott, put that-
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
I can't believe that just two days ago, I was dancing at his house, and now...
I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but which one was Scott Scanlon?
When you told me, I thought it was that kid over there.
It's obviously not.
No, Dylan. You knew Scott.
He was David Silver's friend.
Blond hair. He was in your tech class last year.
Oh, my God. That guy?
My ears are ringing, I can't swallow. My whole digestive system's a wreck.
I know it's the flu. It's gotta be the flu.
Well, whatever it is, you're doing better than Scott.
Do you know where David Silver is? I have to talk to him.
He didn't come to school today.
- I feel so awful. - Yeah, well, everybody does.
No, Scott was my boyfriend in the fifth grade.
I've said probably two words to him in high school. And now...
It's okay. Come here.
Before concluding our memorial, a couple of announcements.
Private funeral services for the family are being conducted this afternoon.
And the counselling office will be staying open later
and is available for anyone who would like to come in and talk.
Thank you.
You know, putting out a special four-page insert
in Scott's memory is gonna be a lot of extra work.
But now, I think that under the circumstances, it's really important.
Absolutely. What did you have in mind?
I just don't see why we need to use this tragic accident
as the springboard for some diatribe about gun control.
I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned,
a loaded gun should not have been accessible
in a desk drawer of a house full of kids.
I agree, but the story speaks for itself.
We need to focus on the personal side.
Get pictures of Scott, interview David Silver, cover the funeral.
And who gets that plum assignment?
Well, obviously it shouldn't be Brandon.
Why not?
You really wanna go to the funeral
after Mrs. Scanlon kicked us out of Scott's party?
She kicked you out?
Yeah, she caught us making out in his little brother's room and had a fit.
Terrific.
I guess I'll cover the funeral, then.
- Andrea, I'll do it. - Great.
Why don't you bring Emily along so you could rub salt
- in Mrs. Scanlon's wounds? - No, I'll go alone.
I know how to be discreet.
What's the matter with you, anyway?
Nothing. I'm sure you'll do a fine job.
Bryce, where's that printing schedule?
David.
Hi.
Hi. Where's Kelly?
She wasn't feeling so well.
Yeah, well, join the club.
I almost lost it when they asked me to say a few words about Scott.
Why?
Because I haven't been close to him for almost a year.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea what to say.
Plus, I had the most bizarre dream.
What was it?
David, you can tell me.
It was the night Pearl Harbor was bombed,
and we were all sneaking on campus to bury the time capsule
like they did in 1941.
And when we dug the hole, I realised it was a coffin.
The body inside was me.
Wow.
And when I woke up, I kept saying, it's not you, it's Scott.
And I was happy.
Isn't that sick?
David, you're here.
Eleanor.
You know David Silver, don't you?
He's Scott's bestest bestest friend in the whole world.
He was with us every Fourth of July at Arrowhead.
Scott just adored him.
I'll see you after the service.
It's up to us now.
Scott's memory is gonna be kept alive by those of us who loved him.
So come on inside, I want you to meet everybody.
You'll be sitting with the family.
- But my dad is here- - David, please.
Cecil, have you met David Silver?
He was Scott's bestest, bestest friend in the whole world.
Hey, your mom says to come to bed.
I'm out of here.
Man, I've been staring at this same page for half an hour.
So give it a rest. I mean, for tonight anyway.
Yeah. Makes sense.
It's good to see your mug around here, man.
You and Bren seem pretty tight.
Yeah. And I mean, you know,
things seem to be going real well with you and Em, it's cool.
Our timing is just way off with this whole death thing, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, I keep thinking I should have died at least three times.
Once on the mountain with you, I almost drowned when I was 5,
and I easily could've bought it when I totalled Mondale.
But you didn't.
I could have.
I don't know. The only thing I can come up with is that
someone up there must like me.
Does that mean that somebody up there didn't like Scott?
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
- Hey, David. - Hi.
How you doing, man?
I'm great, I'm doing good. How you guys doing?
We're fine.
Well, that's- That's good. I'll talk to you later.
All right.
- Hey, Silver. How you doing, man? - Hi, Steve.
Looking good, buddy.
Well, why shouldn't I?
So tell me, did you actually see the gun go off?
Yeah.
- There must've been tons of blood. - Steve-
It's not every day this kind of thing happens.
Maybe it does happen every day but not at West Beverly.
Look, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.
- Right. See you, bro. - David.
Hey, Kelly. Are you feeling better?
Much better. My stomach was on the warpath or something.
Sorry I missed the funeral. Was it creepy?
It was a funeral.
Listen, I gotta go start my show. I'll talk to you later.
- David. - Mr. Chapman.
How are you doing?
Listen, about the time capsule project,
I didn't have a chance to get to it this weekend.
David, David, there's no rush on that.
Oh, okay.
- Talk to you later about this. - All right.
David, did you happen to remember those pictures of you and Scott?
- I'm sorry, I forgot. - No problem.
When do you think we can do that interview?
How about tomorrow? Same time, same place.
- Cool. - Great.
Hi, I was just wondering how you're doing.
Well, you're about the 19th person to ask me that question today.
Sorry.
But to answer your question, I'm fine, okay?
I'm just fine.
"They want you to believe that guns don't kill people.
That people kill people.
But tell that to the 6000 children
who die from gunshot wounds each year. "
Is that too strident?
- No, it's fine. Go on. - All right.
"But Scott Scanlon was more than a statistic.
He was a product of the West Beverly Hills school system. "
I don't like the word "product. " What do you think?
Yeah, it's great.
If Dylan calls, tell him I'm at the library, okay?
Sure.
I don't know, can I trust you two by yourselves?
- Goodbye, Brenda. - Goodbye.
- Now what are we gonna do? - Beats me.
Emily.
What?
I don't know, I just feel so...
Go ahead.
Guilty. I feel guilty.
- Guilty, about kissing me? - No...
I don't know, shouldn't we be serious or in mourning or something?
I mean, somebody just died.
But we're alive, today anyway.
Our number could be up tomorrow.
That's true.
People always talk about things they wanna do
and places they wanna go before they die.
Me, there's just one thing I wanna do before I die.
You know, David, you gotta give yourself time.
Dad, I know.
All I'm saying is that for the first time, I feel normal again.
Well, that's great. That's great.
You know, the human spirit has a remarkable capacity to recuperate.
They taught us that the first year in dental school.
But then, they were talking about gingivitis.
Yeah, well, thanks for the lift and thanks for breakfast.
Thanks, Dad.
David. Hi, I...
I'm sorry.
I was just remembering the last time I was here with you.
But never mind that.
I need you to come by the house this afternoon.
I wanna give you some things of Scott's
that I know that he would want you to have.
David, my mom and I want to take you and your dad
to dinner on Thursday night?
- Is that okay with you? - Yeah, that's fine. I gotta go.
- Hey, big guy. How's it going? - Fine.
- David? - Yes?
Michael Shepherd offered to edit that video if...
Well, you said there was no rush.
Well, we're just trying to help you out.
Well, I don't need any help.
I shot the footage, I should get to put it together.
Okay, okay, you're right.
- Just check in with me, will you? - Sure.
I thought you weren't doing your show today.
Of course I'm doing the show.
Oh, well, usually you start on the hour and it's a quarter past.
I would've been here if everybody would just get out of my face.
David.
I've got a show to do and I really don't want to chitchat, okay?
- Hey, Andrea, I need to talk to you. - So talk.
David Silver asked if he could postpone his interview by one day.
- And I told him- - How can we do that?
We've got a firm deadline.
We might as well drop this whole insert if that's gonna be his attitude.
Hey, would you relax, please?
Yes, it's gonna make it harder to make the deadline but it's doable
if I stay late and paste up the board tomorrow night.
- So, what did you ask me for? - What's the matter with you?
I'm having a hard time putting this together
without you jumping down my throat every time I open my mouth.
Excuse me. I thought it was so doable. I thought you had it all under control.
Are you mad because I didn't go to the movies with you?
Is that what this is about? You said you understood.
Well, maybe I don't understand.
Maybe I don't like feeling
like yesterday's news every time she comes around.
You shouldn't feel that way.
Don't tell me how to feel, okay?
I know she's your girlfriend, I know I'll get used to it.
But at this point, it still hurts, okay?
Okay.
Oh, my gosh. Do you remember this?
This was at Arrowhead. We had the best fireworks that Fourth of July.
You remember that?
Scotty loved the Fourth of July. That was his favourite holiday.
Of course, he loved all the holidays.
That's why I know he'd want you to have his Christmas stocking.
No, I really think you ought to keep this.
Oh, no, no, no.
This is it.
This is the one,
the one I was looking for that's got you and Scotty.
- I've got that one at home. - I know you're gonna treasure it.
Mrs. Scanlon, you're not listening to me.
I really don't want any more of Scott's stuff.
Oh, but you gotta take these Transformers.
You kids used to play with those by the hour.
That's when we were 11.
Why are you acting like we're still best friends?
Oh, when two people were as close as you and Scotty,
- you stay friends forever. - Oh, is that the way it works?
Well, if you don't wanna help keep his memory alive...
I didn't say that.
Oh, David, I'm so sorry.
We're all experiencing your grief.
But, David, you mustn't be angry at Scott
or feel like he's abandoned you.
I don't. Look, Scott accidentally shot himself in the stomach
because he liked to play with guns.
But I don't think that has anything to do with me.
Well, fine, then. Take what you want and...
- I'm gonna lie down. - Mrs. Scanlon, just wait a minute.
Mrs. Scanlon.
Now, you have to remember, in December of '41,
there was a blackout in effect, because everyone assumed
that Japan's next target would be Los Angeles.
That's why the students had to sneak-
David, what are you doing here so early?
What does it look like I'm doing?
Editing the video?
Bingo.
David, I hope you don't mind my asking,
are you all right?
Sure, I'm just peachy keen, hunky-dory, okay?
Why are you being so nasty to me?
- I'm not a doormat, you know. - Donna-
No, half the time you ignore me,
and the other half, you just want to talk about Kelly.
I mean, who stood by you and got everyone to come to that party?
And who made a point of being at that funeral
so you wouldn't have to be there alone?
Who talked to you when no one else would give you the time of day?
You did.
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't realise.
Look, I know you're going through a really hard time right now.
I'm just worried about you.
Thanks, but the worst part's over.
I just gotta move on.
And speaking of moving on, I've really gotta watch the rest of this.
- I'll talk to you later. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
David, good buddy, what are you doing?
Making a video?
I'm doing man-on-the-street interviews,
and you look like a man on the street.
- Thank you. - Or in the hallway, actually.
The hallway. So, Scott, what were you doing in 1941?
I was in Vietnam, 3rd Infantry Marines.
- Yeah. - Scott, you have the wrong war.
Well, we'll start again.
I can get it right.
You know what, I've known you my whole life.
- I don't think you'll ever get it right. - Is that a fact?
Yeah, that is so, that is so, you know what, you know what?
I love you for it, man.
- Come on, we'll do this again. - One more time.
Man-on-the-street interviews, take two.
So, Scott, what were you doing in 1941?
- I was in Iwo Jima. - Iwo Jima?
No, a punji stick in my leg and it was crazy, man.
I can still walk though. No need to worry.
Oh, that's good, that's good. So in 1941, he was in Iwo Jima.
- It's a secret. - Tell me.
I'm gonna go talk to Andrea for a second.
Okay.
Andrea. Andrea, listen.
I feel bad that you feel bad. What can I do?
Nothing. Just be my friend.
I am your friend.
And I'm your editor, and you promised me an interview.
- That's exactly where I was headed. - I need it in an hour, ace.
You got it.
Hey, David. Sorry I'm late.
Timely song.
Well, I'm glad you approve.
Man, this isn't gonna take very long.
I just need to ask you a couple questions, okay?
Look, Brandon, I don't think that I-
David, I can't push this back anymore, man. I'm on a serious deadline.
Why don't you just make up a few quotes
so I won't offend anybody by saying the wrong thing?
Why don't you just tell me something about Scott?
Some memory, something that not too many other people would know
and we'll leave it at that?
He sucked his thumb until he was 8. Is that what you had in mind?
Come on, David, we're putting out this issue as a tribute to Scott.
Why? So people can glance at it and then throw it in the garbage?
No, so people can get some kind of an idea as to who he was.
Look, he was a jerk, okay?
He was a jerk who blew himself away, that's who he was.
You don't know, you left early.
You missed out on the fun part when he picked up a loaded gun
and twirled it around like Wyatt Earp.
You weren't there to see him goof up
and shoot himself and bleed all over his mom's Persian rug.
David, the microphone is on.
I don't care.
No one gave a rat's ass about Scott until he died.
And I was the worst one of all.
He was my best friend and I dropped him.
Because he wasn't cool like you or Kelly or Steve.
David.
So they're looking at me. So what?
They've been looking at me for days, Brandon.
"Oh, poor David. Is he gonna be okay? I hope he hasn't cracked up yet. "
I can't even walk through the hall without somebody in my face
trying to cheer me up like they're my new best friend.
Well, what about my old best friend?
It doesn't matter what you write about him in the paper, Brandon.
It doesn't matter what you say about somebody once they're gone.
What matters is how you treat them when they're still here.
I guess you can quote me on that.
That took a lot of courage, David.
So does anyone else wanna interview me?
Listen, David, do yourself a favour.
Next time somebody asks you how you're feeling, tell them.
Yeah. You can be honest. We'll still be your friends.
Well, thanks.
But when do I get to start feeling better?
It might take a while, David. It happened so suddenly.
You can never be prepared for an accident like that.
Especially when you don't even get to say goodbye.
Well, it's too late for that now.
Maybe not.
I have an idea.
David.
Here's the videocassette I promised you.
You may not wanna watch it right away
but I'm sure one day, you'll be happy to have it.
Thank you.
Are you sure you don't wanna come in for a minute?
Oh, no, I'll come by another day and visit Spencer and everybody.
But tonight I'm doing something kind of special.
Wait a minute. You don't wanna forget what you came for.
I know that Scott would be really pleased
that you wanted to have that.
Come on, you guys, are you almost done?
Why couldn't we do this by the light of day?
Yeah, it's practically a ritual now.
Every 50 years, someone's gotta break onto campus
and plant a time capsule.
Yeah, but how do you know someone's gonna be here in 50 years to dig it up?
Well, time will tell.
Okay, we've got books, CD's, magazines.
All that's left is personal touches.
Okay. Well, this is the Scott Scanlon memorial time capsule,
so I brought along a copy of our special edition on recycled paper
and a copy on floppy disk,
which undoubtedly will be considered a primitive artefact in 50 years.
Well, here's my comment on today's technology.
A Corvette key chain.
Oh, so, what'd you bring, Donna? Cloth?
No, in the '40s they had nylon. In the '90s, we had lycra spandex.
Well, I brought a very cool T-shirt
in honour of the great Minnesota Twins
for very obvious reasons, I think.
So, what'd you bring, D?
Surfboard wax to symbolise the waves that have been pounding the shores
for thousands of years, but really, it's just a brief moment in time.
That leaves you, David.
Well, there's only one thing left.
Look, you guys, it's just like the Fourth of July.
This one's for you, Scott.
