Ivan Dudynsky: Self, Stevie, Cop 1, Bum

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  John Crane : Long ago at a time nobody remembers... Well, actually some people still around today were around then, but then those people tend not to remember so well. Anyway, quite some time ago, there was a time when families just sat around and stared at a blank space on the living room floor.

  [cast all stare at the floor] 

  John Crane : Then somebody had an idea.

  Ivan Dudynsky : I have an idea! I'll create a new form of entertainment people can watch in their own homes. It'll be amusing, informative, and profitable. And, it'll really kick butt during the November sweeps in all of the major markets because, let's face it, there's nothing else on. I'll create TV!

• Trailer Announcer : Touchphone Pictures presents Nick Nolte, Mike the Dog, and the students of West Beverly High in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills 90210." It's a story of compassion.

  Old Bum : Brother, could you spare a dime?

  Student 1 : Are you kidding? My gold card is maxed out and I may even have to get a job this summer.

  Trailer Announcer : Sensitivity.

  Old Bum : How 'bout it, miss? Spare a little change for a sandwich.

  [pulls up shirt to display sucked in stomach] 

  Student 2 : Oh, I'm sorry. I never carry anything smaller than a twenty. What's a sandwich?

  Trailer Announcer : And a young man's quest to find himself.

  Old Bum : Dylan, share your pain with me. I can help. I'm a wise old bum.

  Dylan : Pain? What do you know about pain? I just lost a sideburn in a terrible shaving accident.

  Trailer Announcer : Down and Out in Beverly Hills 90210. This time, it's trivial. 90210 will be right back with more self-absorbed, upper crust whining right after these messages.
