"Previously on The O.C.:" "How would you like to go into business together?" "I don't need your charity." "Then why are you living in a trailer?" "I don't want to go to Berkeley." "I want to go to Brown." "What if he goes to college and meets a bunch of really smart girls and realizes that that's who he's supposed to be with?" " What the hell are you doing?" " Let me explain." "You call people in on a Sunday to fire them." "He likes you, and sooner or later, you're going to have to deal with it." "Maybe you just don't understand what she's going through." "You two talk, I'm done." "Ryan!" "I feel responsible." "I'm going to get the operation and get back on my board." "You guys, seriously, thank you." "Sure, we're happy to help." "Not a problem, man." "I'm just along for the ride, but you're welcome." "You didn't have to do this." "Come on." "Yeah, we did." "I mean, Chili's out of town, your mom's at work..." "We weren't going to let you take the bus." "Yeah, taking the bus never seems to end up well around here." "It's this one up on the right." "The one with the white trim?" "No, it's the one next to it." "The Infinity Pool's in the back." "Dude, don't even worry about it." "You should see where Ryan grew up." "We're moving soon." "After I go pro, a year on the circuit, save some money, buy my mom a house on the flower streets." "I may seem a little optimistic now, but..." "No." "Thanks again." "Yeah, see you." "Here, let me help you." "No, I'm fine." "You're all going to be late for school." "Don't forget." "Oh, thanks." " All right." " Yeah." "Okay, definitely not fine." "I can't watch this." "I have a free period right now." "You should stay, help him get settled." "You think?" "See you tonight." "We'll catch up, get something to eat." "Don't speak." "The kid has no one." "And I trust Marissa." "So, I was thinking our new business could provide something that's missing in Newport." "But we've got everything." "Not a great bookstore." "Latest fiction, authors giving readings..." "Ah, interesting." "But I was thinking that our new business could provide something that Newport actually wants." "Okay, Julie, what's your idea?" "Okay." "I was reading in Stuff magazine about this service." "We can get this girl come and clean your house." "I think they're called housekeepers, and Newport is definitely on to that trend." "Not housekeepers, nude maids." "Who wants to see their maids nude?" "Not maids, Kirsten, they're strippers." "Who wants a stripper doing their laundry?" "Well, as long as she knows how to iron my shirts the way I like them, wrinkle-free and not too starchy." "Sandy gets it." "Just a few weeks at the Newport Group, he's already thinking like a businessman." "You've got to give the people what they want." "Exactly." "And right now I'm trying to give people without a lot of money a decent place to live." "Matt set up a big meeting with some potential investors." "Sandy, I don't think I'm in favor of low-income housing." "Julie, you live in a trailer park." "And I'm highly motivated to change my circumstances." "If you make being poor too comfortable, what's the incentive to get rich?" "Believe me, if anyone should know..." "Well, on that uplifting note, I'll leave you two to hash out the finer points of the free-market economy." "Look, why don't we do something that we know Newport needs and we're already good at." "I'm blanking." "Party planning." "I'll cater charity events, private dinners..." "We know all the vendors, all the sites, already have a huge client base." "I'm in." "Has Marissa called?" "I just dropped her off." "Why would she call?" "She's busy." "Hey, guys." "Can't talk." "I have to go see Dr. Kim." "You in trouble?" "No, I have to change my college file." "I got my SAT score." "Summer, we got our SAT scores back months ago." "Oh, well, I took mine late, remember?" "There was a Valley marathon on the first time around." "How'd you do?" "Ryan, come on." "You never ask a lady her age, weight or SAT score." "I got a 2300." "What, that bad?" "That... good." "Hmm?" "As good as you, Cohen?" "Better." "By just the tiniest bit." "You know, I read a study once that said that if 1,500 third-graders took the SAT, one would get a perfect score by probability alone." "Yeah." "I'm not a third-grader, Cohen." "No, no, I'm not saying you are." "But, I mean, how else do you explain it?" "I don't know." "How is that even possible?" "She did save Chrismukkah." "Okay, so you've got your blanket pillows, um, what else?" "The remote, magazines..." "All right, just call me if you need anything, okay?" "Don't wait by the phone." "I mean, since you pretty much thought of everything." "Well, maybe I should stop by after school." "Give you your homework." "I'll get it later." "Is everything okay?" "Because if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to get rid of me." "Whatever you could do would help." "Ma, hey." "Please, call me when you have some information." "Thanks again." "Hi, baby, how you feeling?" "Okay." "Ma, this is..." "The famous Marissa Cooper." "Hi." "Come here, sweetie." "Oh, Johnny talks about you so much, I feel like I know you already." "You didn't tell me she was gorgeous." "Ma, you're embarrassing her." "Sorry." "Listen, thank you for bringing him home." "I tried to get someone to cover for me at the nursing home, but no one wants the night shift." "Go figure." "Mom, Marissa has to get to class." "You're going to make her late." "Just wait." "I've got some good news." "I got you an appointment... with the best sports medicine doctor in all of Orange County." "A real fancy orthopedic surgeon, works with the Angels and the Ducks." "Thanks, Mom." "One hitch." "Being that he's so in demand, there's a wait list, and the wait's going to be a little while." "What, like a week?" "It seemed kind of more like months." "But the team will be gone then." "I'll miss the tour." "I know, honey, but there's always next year." "And maybe there's a way to get moved up on the list." "No, no, I tried." "But you know, they give these favors to friends and donors to the hospital." "Babe..." "I'm sorry." "I did the best I could." " Hi." " Hey." "You're not going to believe this." "So it turns out that I am totally smart." "Yeah, you are." "In your own way." "Not in my own way, in your way, too." "Apparently, I have a lot of what they call "aptitude."" "Really?" "Dr. Kim told me that, like, every few years she has a female student that turns out to be, like, academically gifted, but just didn't apply herself." "You know, just focusing more on boys and shopping and celebrity gossip." "But she said if I study for my finals, I could get my grades up enough to go to Brown with you." "Wouldn't that be awesome?" "Yeah." "Sure, but, you know, do you want to go to Brown?" "Now I do." "Dr. Kim said that you can make your own major." "And the school colors are seal brown." "How cute are seals?" "And then look, they're having this thing tomorrow, for prospective students, and I thought we could go together." "Okay, yeah." "Mm." "Sounds like a date." "Okay." "What you reading?" "Hmm?" "Oh, it's just Fear and Trembling." "It's Kierkegaard." "He's the godfather of existentialism." "Sort of invented the concept of angst." "Well, now that I'm smart, I'm sure I'll enjoy it." "All right, I'll do the welcome, explain our philosophy, present the model..." "I'll follow up with the numbers." "What about Thai for dinner?" "Sounds great." "Happy days are here again." "You two are so perfect together." "It's almost painful to be around." "Well, we've been working on it for about 25 years." "You're bound to get it right eventually." "What about you?" "There's a girlfriend in Chicago?" "Yeah, yeah." "She's a great girl." "I look forward to meeting her." "Well, here's a couple of guys who know a thing or two about romance." "Seth, Ryan, meet Matt Ramsey." "Hey." " Matt, meet my boys." " Hey, there." "Matt and I are working on the proposal for our affordable housing development." "Oh, that's my cue to go help Mom with dinner." "This is it, huh?" "Yep." "It's an early version, but pretty much." "You guys probably don't want my two cents, but, uh..." "What?" "No, no, no, go ahead." "Well, you put a wall up here, it turns this whole space into a courtyard." "Add some benches, a playground, good idea." "It's just a thought." "You're a senior, right?" "Applying to college?" "Yeah." "What would look better on a resume than an internship with a prestigious development company?" "I mean, if it's cool with the boss." "We could use the help." "You got any plans tonight?" "Uh, yeah, my girlfriend." "Cancel them." "Well, this is the doctor's home page, and it says here he works out of Hogue Hospital." "My mom done a bunch of charities for them and Summer's dad even works there." "So this is kind of perfect." "Marissa, I appreciate everything, but... you can't do this." "Why?" "Because I might one day decide to become a surfer, get hit by a bus, need surgery, and then realize I used my one good favor with the best doctor in town?" "Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen." "I just don't want you to think this is your problem." "Too late." "Hang on." "Summer's picking me up." "Oops, sorry." "Hey." "Hey." "You ready to go?" "Oh, hang on." "Oh, it's Ryan." "We're supposed to have dinner tonight, I should..." "Hi." "You have to help me." "I thought Marissa was helping you." "She is." "She's driving me, feeding me, bringing me my homework." "Now she's trying to get me in with some doctor." "Well, she's a good friend." "I don't see the problem." "She's too nice." "She's spending too much time with me." "Well, she tends to be a little clingy." "No, it's not that I don't like it." "It's that I do." "A lot." "I called this, like, so long ago." "This, this is a major problem." "Not for anybody but me, okay?" "Just don't tell anyone." "Promise?" "Yeah." "What I miss?" "Thanks for droping me, Sum." "Hey, you think maybe you could pick me up, too?" "Oh, maybe you should ask Ryan." "Oh, I think he's gonna go to the Newport Group after school." "Oh, I guess I could swing by Union." "Oh, actually, can you pick me up at Johnny's?" "'Cause I'm gonna drop off his homework, and hopefully, he'll know about the doctor by then." "Hey, you think maybe you could ask your dad to put in a good word?" "Yeah, I guess." "Are you sure, I don't know, that that's the best idea?" "You being all involved in Johnny's life?" "You guys are getting really close." "Yeah, well, he doesn't really have anyone else." "I mean, his mom's sweet, but it just seems like everything's kind of hard for her, you know?" "I'm just trying to help." "Okay, I'll talk to my dad." "You know, the sooner that Johnny gets on his feet, the sooner you don't have to be his nursemaid." "I kind of like being his nursemaid." "You know, maybe I should be a nurse." "That is a good one." "So was Marissa totally cool with you canceling on her last night?" "Didn't have a problem with it." "But do you have a problem with it?" "I canceled on her." "Yeah, but if you canceled on me, I'd have a problem with it." "And, you know, if I canceled on you and you didn't have a problem with it, then I might have a problem with that." "Sounds like you already got a problem-- and not with me." "Who would my problem be with?" "I don't know, 'cause I think it's really great that Summer's a genius." "Whoa." "Whoa, whoa." "Listen, Dr. Kim said she had some untapped potential, and no one went around using the "G" word." "Don't do this, man." "Do what?" "Compete with Summer." "Why, because you think..." "Summer would win?" "So I figured out what our startup costs will be." "Do you want to share an appetizer?" "Crap cakes?" "Sounds good." "We can charge food and liquor on a per-event basis." "Dishes and linen, we have to figure out whether it's worth buying our own or not." "Mm, you know what I'm really craving?" "The sweet corn ravioli." "Or do you think that'll be too heavy with the crab cakes?" "What I think is, is that you don't find this business very interesting." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Kiki, I've just been eating a lot of ramen lately." "Julie, if this business works, you'll never have to boil your dinner again." "I had a supplier list." "I left it in the car." "I'll be right back." "I'll decide on my order while you're gone." "Or... read some spreadsheets." "Right here." "So I see you're suddenly without a lunch date." "Would you like to join me at the bar for a drink?" "No, my friend will be back shortly." "Well, maybe I could buy you both drinks." "Well, she's an alcoholic, and, uh, we're having a business lunch." "We're partners." "In a business." "Really." "What kind of business?" "Well..." "Hey, Julie." "Kirsten!" "Oh, this is Jeff Grenzel." "This is my business partner, Kirsten Cohen." "Nice to meet you." "Uh, we were in the middle of something, if you'll excuse us." "Actually, I invited Jeff to join us for lunch." "He just hired us to do a dinner party at his house this weekend." "For $5,000." "Oh, well, have a seat." "Do you like crab cakes?" "Hey, Ashley, Madison." " Summer, hey." " What's up?" "Didn't expect to see you here, at a Brown event." "No offense." "Oh, none taken." "Hey, you know, maybe we should just leave." "Why?" "Well, you know..." "You don't think I belong here." "No, it's not that, it's just, you know, you don't have to do this for me." "Oh, this isn't about you." "It isn't?" "Because this has been my dream for years, and, I mean... all of a sudden it's yours, too?" "Well, maybe I never had a dream." "You know, maybe for once in my life, I actually want to do something with my life, like something important." "Be the first woman in space, or win one of those noble prizes." "Summer, women have been going to space since the '60s, and it's not noble prize, it's Nobel." "Marie Curie won in 1903 for discovering radium." " Well, I think you've made your point." " Hey, hey, hey, don't leave." "Oh, I'm not leaving." "Look, you may know more about history and science and stuff, but..." "I know a thing or two about working a room." "Hey, Madison." "Wait up." "You all right?" "Yeah." "Uh, I just got a lot on my mind." "I promised it wouldn't interfere with my work." "Job means a lot to you, huh?" "Kind of means everything." "I relocated to do this with Sandy." "And my girlfriend, uh..." "Well, my ex now, I guess, so..." "I took her down to Cabo last weekend and invited her to join me here, as my wife." "It turns out she doesn't like warm weather... or me." "Have you told Sandy this?" "It's not his problem." "Sandy's a good guy." "He's taking a big chance on me." "I don't want to let him down." "Yeah, tell me about it." "Guys, I hate to do this to you, but my plate's full." "Whatever it is, put it right out of your mind." "Ryan and I are on it." "It's already done." "There's legislation in the works that would change the zoning at the site." "I need you to work out both scenarios." "One if it passes, one if it doesn't." "That means twice the work." "Maybe you could reschedule the meeting?" "I would if I could, but I can't; these guys are coming tomorrow, on a Saturday, and then heading straight down to San Diego to look at another development." "14 hours, laptop, coffee." "Ryan and I are good to go." "That's the spirit." "Thanks." "Hey, are we gonna have time to get ready?" "'Cause if not, we should tell him now." "Uh, come on, we'll take a little field trip." "You guys, next year is gonna be so much fun." "You know, maybe we should drive together, like, have a road trip?" "Shotgun." "Excuse me." "If I could have your attention, please?" "I want to thank you all for coming." "Great group." "So true." "But unfortunately, on average, Brown only admits one student a year from Harbor, and it's stiff competition." "I wish I could admit you all." "But enjoy the events, and good luck." "Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" "No, I need to talk to the Brown guy." "Hey, hi." "Um, I was wondering, in your opinion, what makes a student stand out?" "Yes, besides good grades." "And high SAT scores." "Well, all our applicants are leaders at their schools." "What it really takes is a hook." "Fascinating." "Okay, okay." "Could you clarify with an example?" "Sure." "Next week!" "That is great news." "I can't believe it." "It's really not that big a deal." "You know, it turns out Summer's dad's a plastic surgeon at the same hospital, and they just knew each other." "I'm glad it worked out, though." "This calls for some kind of celebration." "Marissa, you're staying for dinner." "Mom, I'm sure she has plans." "Oh, I do, actually, with Ryan." "That's her boyfriend." "Well, invite him, too." "We'll-we'll order in." "We'll play board games or watch movies." "That's him." "Probably wondering where you are." "No, he knows." "Hey." "So do you want to come over to Johnny's and get take-out and DVDs?" "We're gonna celebrate." "Yeah." "Yeah, okay, that sounds good." "You should... probably start without me, though." "I'll be there as soon as I can." "It's cool." "He's with me." "Sure thing, boss." "Hey, what are we doing, man?" "I thought we were gonna go on a coffee run or something." "I never said that." "Do some of my best thinking here, man." "I can see why." "Loud music, topless women, no distractions at all." "Sometimes a good distraction is the best way to recharge." "Right?" "And here's my muse." "Lily." "Hey, Matt!" "How's my favorite customer doing?" "I'm in need of some serious one-on-one time." "Mm, should I ready the Champagne Room for you?" "Hey, come on, man." "I got this, all right?" "We're just gonna have a little time-out, then we go back to the office and pull an all-nighter." "I got plans." "I can't..." "I..." "First dance is on me." "I'll be right back." "Hi." "I'm Sipowitz." "Hi, Sipowitz." "I didn't know Julie was taking this seriously." "Well, you got to hand it to her, she's a born entrepreneur." "Hey, I'm starving." "And that actually smells good." "Well, it's not for you." "Pizza's coming." "Is that a pirate costume?" "Summer and I are in a war." "A pirate war?" "Well, it turns out Brown usually takes only one student from Harbor, and we both want to be it, so I need a hook." "Oh, you mean like Captain Hook." "I'll get that; maybe it's dinner." "Summer going to Brown?" "I mean, no offense..." "She did save Chrismukkah." "Is Ryan eating with us?" "No, he's working with Matt tonight." "I think he's a good influence on Ryan;" "you know, he's young, he didn't come from much, he's making something of himself." "He's a good role model." "You don't have to do this." "Already bought and paid for." "Oh, that's mine." "My cell." "It's ringing in my pocket." "Mmm, I definitely feel something vibrating." "Yeah, if you could just, uh..." "No." "Let me." "Hi." "It's Ryan, leave a message." "Hey, uh, it's me." "I was just wondering where you are, so, um, it's getting kind of late." "So call me." "Where have you been?" "Whoa, Summer." "I have been worried sick for hours." "Well, since my alarm went off 20 minutes ago and I noticed you weren't here." "Sorry, I fell asleep." "Oh, at Ryan's?" "At Johnny's." "At Johnny's?" "We were watching a movie." "What's that?" "A tuba." "Which you have, why?" "Because I do." "Because in fifth grade, you know, when I said I was going to beauty pageant camp," "I was going to band camp and learning to play the tuba." " Wh...?" " Wait, quit changing the subject." "I cannot believe you slept there." "Does Ryan know?" "Know what?" "Uh, how bad that movie was last night." "Where were you?" "Yeah, where were you?" "None of my business." "Uh, I was with Matt." "Uh, we were working." "Wow, so late?" "Yeah, big presentation today." "So, movie no good, huh?" "Yeah, well, it kind of put me to sleep." "Uh... how's Johnny?" "Uh, better, I think." "Good, good." "Get home okay?" "Uh, yeah, yeah, his mom drove me." "I just wanted to say hi." "Yeah, don't let me keep you." "Okay." "Matt, the investors are in the conference room." "I need your part of the presentation." "Call me when you get this." "Matt's missing in action." "Any idea where he could be?" "Uh, he was pulling an all-nighter, maybe he slept in..." "Right through the alarm." "Sorry, Sandy." "Ready?" "As I'll ever be." "Just let me put my tie on, clear my head." "Five minutes?" "You've got four, and you might want to run a comb through your hair." "Thanks for not busting me." "You gonna make me wish I did?" "I know these guys, man." "I got it under control." " Summer?" " Oh, hey, Ash." " You're not in the band." " Well, no, technically not." "But I thought I could play the tuba, blow a few minds, maybe get asked to join." "I'm a big fan of physical comedy and I'm extremely limber, plus Johnny Depp has been a huge inspiration in my life." "I just think he's taking the pirate thing to just a whole new level, and... the brown bear is retiring next year." "I told you, we already have a mascot." "Oh, my God." "And what's with the peg leg?" "Why?" "It's really creeping me out." "Cohen!" "Cohen, what are you doing?" "Summer, what are you doing?" "I asked first." "You know what?" "You don't need to answer that, because it's obvious." "Yeah, I'm not the one wearing a tuba." "Oh, that's really big talk from a guy wearing hoop earrings." "At least I play the tuba." "What?" "I do." "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to practice." "Ow!" "Did you just whack me with your tuba?" "Did you just jab me with your peg leg?" "It was a tap, you little whacker." "It was a jab, jabber!" "Why do you have to be better than me at everything?" "See, that's just it, Summer." "I'm not better than you at everything." "There was one thing that I was better at." "And the commercial space at street level can provide jobs, places to eat, a daycare center." "Sounds good, Mr. Cohen, but we've heard there are regulations in the works which could complicate things." "So have we." "Matt's worked out both sets of numbers." "Matt?" "Thanks, Sandy." "So if the legislation does not pass, the profit model will look something like this." "And if it does?" "Um, then we would have to decrease the amount of commercial space, which would, um... decrease the revenue." "By how much, do you think?" "I would say a significant amount." "Matt, we do business in dollars." "How many we talking about here?" "I'm..." "Well, we haven't worked out those numbers right now." "We didn't drive all the way down here for a hypothetical conversation." "Of course you didn't." "We'll have those numbers to you by this afternoon." "Right, Matt?" "Well, thank you, Mr. Cohen, for your impressive presentation." "I think we've heard all we need to today." "Well, thanks for your time." "I'm sorry." "Uh, I..." "Anything you'd care to tell me?" "Coming." "Johnny?" "In here!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, God." "All right, come on, here." "I think I twisted it again." "Okay, come on." "Where are your painkillers?" "Hello." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Oh, oh, Jeff." "What a beautiful, beautiful place." "Thank you." "Do you and your guests want dinner in the dining room, or..." "Oh, the terrace would be nice." "Uh, let me ask my guest." "Dining room or terrace?" "Excuse me?" "I haven't invited anyone." "I was hoping, Julie, that you might join me for dinner." "Uh..." "Mr. Grenzel, if this is a joke, it's not funny." "I've spent two days cooking, and Julie bought out the flower mart." "One dinner, please." "I'll pay what I promised." "I just want the chance to get to know you better." "Julie, we're leaving." "Julie." "You did all this for a date with me?" "Fine, but you're serving yourselves." "Hungry?" "Nope." "What the hell happened?" "I'm..." "I'm so sorry." "That you weren't prepared for the meeting, I could maybe overlook." "That you were here, that you brought Ryan here really tries my patience." "But I'd hear you out." "Thanks." "That means a lot." "But you lied to my face." "You disrespected me, and the company I'm trying to build, the one that you said you wanted to build with me." "It won't happen again." "You're right, it won't happen again." "I want you out of the office tomorrow." "You're fired." "Hey, come on." "No, not another word out of you, kid." "Don't think you don't have anything to be sorry about." "Hey, Johnny, do you know where there's a towel?" "I don't want this ice to melt all over you." "Try under the sink." "You know, Marissa... you're really making this hard." "Making what hard?" "We're friends." "Yeah, we are friends." "How many of those painkillers did you take?" "Uh, I have to tell you something." " I can't say it." " Say what?" "Don't say anything back, okay?" "I don't want anything." "I just want you to know the truth." "The truth about what?" "I really like you." "Okay, I really like you, too." "No..." "I mean..." "I like you, like you." "I think I'm in love with you." "So, Ryan, you're a working man now." "How's the job going?" "Model homes, calculators, dudes in suits, I bet that's pretty exciting stuff." "You'd be surprised." "So would Marissa." "Oh, and what's she been up to?" "I don't know." "I'll ask her when I see her, which hopefully will be tonight." "What's with all the questions?" "Nothing, I'm just trying to exhaust all your issues so we can get to mine." "Have we covered everything?" "My biggest fear, stated plainly." "What if Summer's being smart changes our whole dynamic?" "Why would it?" "Because my intelligence was the one quality she admired in me." "It made me almost a man in her eyes." "Come on, man." "That's not true." "You've got plenty of other positive qualities." "You're uh, you're... you're funny when you want to be." "Have you noticed how Summer's gotten a lot funnier lately?" "I mean, I think she's funnier than me now." "You're an expert in comic books and Yakuza films." "Girls don't like that." "You know how to work a grill." "I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry." "I thought I would come up with more, but the point is, Summer doesn't want to be you." "She wants to be with you." "Right?" "You want that, too." "So..." " Apologize, I know." " Yeah." " Where you going?" " I've got to go to Sandy's office." "I've got some apologizing to do myself." "Give me a ride?" "Why don't we have cars?" "Don't answer it." "Johnny's going to think I'm mad at him." "Maybe that's not such a bad thing." "Look, he was in pain." "He took a bunch of pills." "He probably doesn't even remember." "It's not a big deal." "Yeah, well, a Vicodin love confession is still a love confession." "I'm sure he didn't mean it." "I'm sure he did." "Why?" "Because he told me the night that I picked you up from his place." "Why didn't you say anything?" "He made me promise not to." "He said he wasn't going to do anything so he didn't want you to know." "Now I know." "What am I going to do?" "Pretend you don't." "Maybe you should just stay away from him for a while." "I've got to call Ryan." "Are you going to tell him?" "These guys won't return my calls." "I can't even get a response, much less schedule another meeting." "Look, I am sorry." "Matt said he had it covered, and I guess I believed him." "So did I." "You know, it makes no sense for him to blow this off." "He's the one who set up the meeting." "His girlfriend dumped him." "Why, 'cause he went to the strip club?" "Because he took the job." "I guess it hit him pretty hard." "Oh, you're breaking my heart." "He should have said something." "Because he didn't want anyone to know, especially his boss." "Sorry for the drop by." "Wow, Matt must be some tipper." "Matt and I are friends from college." "Yes, I went to college." "I'm dancing to pay for law school." "But I don't dance for Matt." "Mostly we talk." "About what?" "Matt's been under a lot of pressure and not just work stuff." "I think he just kind of crashed and burned." "Well, he couldn't have chosen a worse time." "I know, and maybe none of this makes any difference, but Matt is a good guy." "And this job means the world to him." "What if I told you I was the one that put Matt in touch with those investors?" "And that I could get you another meeting." "Is one your professor?" "No, a customer." "Dad, Gloria, I'm heading over to Seth's." "Hi, Seth." "Hey, I just came over to apologize." "Me, too." "Well, no, I mean..." "I'm listening." "Okay." "Look, I'm sorry I've been such an ass, okay?" "It's just you're so superior to me in so many ways, you know?" "You're better looking, you're more popular, you're stronger, and not just emotionally." "Cohen." "I'll always look up to you." "And not just because you're taller than me." "I am taller than you." "You know, that guy from Brown, he didn't say that they couldn't take more than one student from Harbor." "Hey, well, this might be the year." "That's right." "Don't bother to try and make me feel worse than I already do." "It's impossible." "You knew you didn't do the work." "You knew you'd get caught." "You knew how I'd react." "You must have wanted to get fired." "Right, since I'd have absolutely nothing else going for me." "The next time you have a problem, say something." "You need help?" "Ask for it." "I'll remember that." "Be here at 8:00 a.m. on Monday." "We'll give it another try." "You'd do that?" "Yeah." "This is your last chance." "Don't screw it up." "You owe me big time." "Oh, hey, Julie." "How was your date?" "Oh, it was awful." "We totally didn't click." "We had nothing to talk about, and his tongue was like sandpaper." "Sorry to hear that." "I'm sorry, I should never have stayed." "It was so unprofessional of me." "You made all that food for nothing." "Well, it wasn't for nothing." "We got paid." "In a way our first venture was a success." "Yeah, I guess so." "How weird is it that a guy would spent that much money just to have dinner with a woman?" "Julie, I have an idea for a new business." "Oh, my God." "High-class call girl operation." "I love it." "No!" "A high-end dating service." "Oh." "That could work, too." "Hey, Johnny." "What are you doing here?" "I'm sorry, you're on your way out." "I won't be long." "I..." "God, you must think I'm some kind of stalker, just showing up here like this." "All my calls went to voice mail, so..." "Johnny, look, you don't have to explain yourself." "You know, we can just act like it didn't happen." "Those pills will really mess with your head." "Believe me, I should know." "Look, Marissa, um, I didn't mean to say those things." "But I did mean them." "I just don't want things to get weird between us." "Oh, I think things already are a little weird between us." "Well, we could still be friends, right?" "Of course." "I just..." "I think maybe we need to spend some time apart." "Okay." "Okay, if you get in and I don't, you have to go, okay?" "Because this is your dream." "And if you get in and I don't, same thing." "It's your dream now, too." "Whomever gets in, I still love you." "And I still love you." "Actually it's whoever gets in." "Not whomever." "Because... you see, "who" is a..." "Hello?" "Hi." "Hey, I was just calling you." "Where are you?" "Summer's room." "No one's here." "You should have told me you were coming over." "Then it wouldn't have been a surprise." "Yeah, but then I wouldn't be sitting here in the pool house." "Right." "You want me to come over there?" "No, no, just talk to me." "Okay." "Hi." "Hi." "How was your weekend?" "It was pretty strange." "I bet mine was stranger." "I doubt it, but you go ahead." "Okay, well, I mean, there's no reason to be upset." "I'm the one that got a lap dance." "You got a lap dance?" "Well, maybe you should go first." "No, no, I interrupted you." "Please... please continue." "Um, okay, well, there's something I want to tell you about Johnny." "Ryan?" "I'm listening." "Well, the other night when you were supposed to come over..." "I fell asleep at Johnny's." "Nothing happened." "We were just really tired." "But then the next night..."
