Brian Austin Green: David Silver

Quotes 

• Brandon Walsh : Look, David, we're putting out this issue as a tribute to Scott.

  David Silver : Why? So people can glance at it and then throw it in the garbage?

  Brandon Walsh : No, so people can get some idea about who he was.

  David Silver : [stands up and accidently flips on the radio booth microphone letting off audio feedback]  Look, he was a jerk, okay? He was a stupid jerk who blew himself away! That's who he was! You don't know what happened. You left early. You missed out on the fun part when he picked up a loaded gun and twirled it around like he was Wyatt Earp! You weren't there to see him goof up like he always does, shoot himself, and bleed to death all over his mom's Persian rug!

  Brandon Walsh : David, the microphone is on.

  David Silver : 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! I pushed him away because he wasn't smart... or cool like you or Kelly or Steve.

  Brandon Walsh : David...

  David Silver : So they're looking at me. So what? They've been looking at me for days, Brandon! "Oh, poor David, is he going to be okay? I hope he hasn't cracked up yet." I can't even walk through these halls without someone 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 Scott in that paper, Brandon. It doesn't matter what you say about someone once they're gone. What matters is how you treat them when they're still here.

  [pause] 

  David Silver : I guess you can quote me on that.

• David Silver : I almost lost it when they asked me to say a few words about Scott.

  Donna Martin : Why?

  David Silver : Because I haven't been close to him for almost a year. I wouldn't have the faintest idea what to say.

• David Silver : [David is editing the tape and sees himself interviewing Scott]  I've known you my whole life and I don't think you'll ever get it right.

  Scott Scanlon : [Scott on the tape]  Is that so?

  David Silver : [David on the tape]  Yeah, but you know what, I love you for it man!

• David Silver : Well there is only one thing left.

  [Everyone is holding sparklers] 

  Donna Martin : Look you guys! It's just like the Fourth of July!

  David Silver : [David looks up at the sky]  This one's for you Scott!
