Ian Ziering: Steve Sanders

Quotes 

• [after Brandon confides in Steve about owing $1,500 to a mobster bookie] 

  Steve Sanders : Brandon, why didn't you tell me a little bit about this sooner? Maybe I could have helped you.

  Brandon Walsh : I didn't want anyone to know. It's my business.

  Steve Sanders : You can always go to your Dad and ask him to bail you out.

  Brandon Walsh : No, no, I can't tell my Dad. I've been lying to him for too long by telling him that I'm just betting chump change. It's not his problem, and I can't drag him into it. He ever finds out that I've squandered all my money and then some on sports and that I've been lying to him about it, he'll never trust me again.

  Steve Sanders : Well, which is worse? Telling your Dad about the trouble you're in, or telling Duke that you can't pay him?

  Brandon Walsh : I don't know. I really don't know. I'm out of control, man... I don't know what I would have done to that kid out there if you hadn't shown up.

  Steve Sanders : How could you even expect Jeff to come up with than kind of money?

  Brandon Walsh : I don't know! I got an angry bookie after me for $1,500 of losses, and... Nat's right... I'm totally out of control. I'm hooked. All I can think of is grabbing the nearest phone and trying to decide which bookie to call to place a bet. Wait... maybe you can go to your Mom. Tell her some sob story to get the money.

  Steve Sanders : No, I don't think so. She put the breaks on that kind of thing a long time ago. She gives me a check at the beginning of the month for a grand and I have to make it last. And, it's all gone right now except for $300.

  Brandon Walsh : I'll take it.

  Steve Sanders : [gives Brandon all his cash]  All right here. But then what?

  Brandon Walsh : I don't know! I'll pray. What do you think they're gonna do to me if I can't pay all of it? Break my nose? Maybe, break my thumbs?

  Steve Sanders : No, not for $1,500.

  Brandon Walsh : Steve, he's got this big goon that drives him around.

  Steve Sanders : Nah. I think Duke's just trying to scare you. You'll see.

  Brandon Walsh : I don't think so.

• Donna Martin : Steve, please will you come and see what's going on!

  Steve Sanders : What are you talking about?

  Donna Martin : I went over to the recording studio at Icon Records to see David, and his recording manager, Serge... whats-his-name, was making him sing this really awful song! A song that's nothing like David's hip-hop material. When I talked with Serge by asking him what he was doing, he had me thrown out of the studio and he won't let me talk or see David at all! He's killing David's music and David apparently doesn't realize that!

  Steve Sanders : Not my problem anymore, Donna.

  Donna Martin : How can you say that?

  Steve Sanders : David fired me as his manager. He made his choice. He choose to work with that scumball Curtis Bray and his hacks at Icon Records instead of sticking with me.

  Donna Martin : I know and David feels awful about it. He really does. But he didn't have a choice.

  Steve Sanders : Yes, he did have a choice! Nobody held a gun to his head and told him to drop me. I don't want to see David or even talk to him... ever again!

  Donna Martin : Will you at least come with me to the recording studio just to see what Serge is doing to David's music? Please? If not for David, do it for me. I'm really concerned about David.

  Steve Sanders : [after a pause]  All right, fine. I'll go with you to the studio to see what they're doing over there.

• Donna Martin : So? How did the meeting with Curis Bray go?

  David Silver : Down the tubes.

  Donna Martin : Down the tubes?

  David Silver : They dumped me. I'm fired. Finished from Icon records.

  Donna Martin : What? Why?

  David Silver : Bray hated the song!

  Steve Sanders : We all hated the song!
