Previously on The O.C.:
Guess who's back? Aunt Hailey.
Did she say why she's here?
She's run out of money.
You have to stop living like this.
So I'll grow to be like you?
He's really not my type.
What's your type, Seth Cohen?
Didn't want you to be alone on New Years.
I'm having a party. We're not going.
Because I'm not drinking, doesn't mean you can't.
Clean and sober, 11 months.
HAILEY: Girlfriend's at a New Year's Eve party alone?
She's not alone. She's with some guy.
You broke up. We didn't.
Not spending New Year's together.
I think it's just us tonight.
(rock intro playing)
* It's Saturday mornin'
* Who's gonna play with me?
* 6:00 in the morning, baby
* I got a long, long day ahead of me *
(music continues)
* The parents are sleeping soundly *
* The neighbors are dead as wood *
* I'm gettin' up and comin' over *
* We gonna rock the neighborhood *
* Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here *
(through headphones): * If we don't make it
happen...
She's eating us out of house and home.
Sandy, it's just a bagel.
No, no, no, it's never just a bagel.
Mom, I've been a shut-in for the last 17 years of my life,
and I can pretty much say with authority,
that woman never leaves the house.
She's got nowhere else to go.
Because all her friends want to kick her ass.
Sorry about the language.
Why? I'd like to kick her ass.
HAILEY: Kirsten.
Coming.
There's no more coffee.
Will you make some?
The good French Roast kind?
Not the Harvest Blend.
(hushed): No! No! No! No!
I'll talk to her.
I'll have to survive on English muffins.
(whistling)
Marissa? Marissa, hello? She's gotta be here somewhere.
Hilarious.
Yeah, okay, listen to me.
Hailey is always in the living room, alright?
Marissa's always here. Look at me.
I'm lost, okay?
What happened to Seth-Ryan time? That was quality time.
I know I've been a bit...
Uh... whipped?
I'm not whipped. We can talk now.
What's up?
Squeezing me in before school.
Nice... I like that,
but I'll take it.
Okay, here's the thing, um...
Anna and I decided to take it up a level
and I need advice.
You're gonna have sex.
No. Good idea, though.
We're going to tell Summer that we're dating.
As much as I fear Summer hurting me
with the rage blackouts and all,
I'm actually more scared about hurting her feelings.
We've become friends now and I feel like I don't...
MARISSA: Hey.
You guys ready to go?
Yeah, no, we were just talking.
Oh, really, about what?
Uh, just guy stuff.
You know, hunting and shaving and shoes.
The cleats for the sports.
Okay, well, come on.
Hey, later, can we please finish this chat?
Put little Seth-Ryan time on the books?
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Just got to check with...
Oh, you forgot your balls.
You and me tonight.
Come on!
(whip cracking)
(piano and acoustic guitar strumming gentle melody)
* California, here we come
* Right back where we started from *
* California
* California...
* In Cal...
* California
* Here we come.
* I know how nice you are...
Have we become one of those couples?
Who lose all their friends?
And can't do anything without each other?
I don't think so. You think so?
It'll be good-- a night apart.
Yeah, plus I'm kind of sick of you.
I'm sick of me, too.
I gotta go.
Yeah, and I got the...
Walk me? I'll walk you.
Ow. Don't make me.
Don't make you what?
Hurt you. Watch this.
Stop.
What's up?
Hey, what is up? I was talking to her.
That's cool.
Wanted to know if you had plans this weekend.
Nothing.
Anna's trying to say she's not doing anything.
We're both not doing anything.
That's what we're both doing.
In fact, we're doing nothing.
But doing that by ourselves.
Thank you, Cohen.
You just reminded me that I need my bio textbook,
'cause we're studying monkeys.
Ouch.
I hate liars.
Now I'm one of them.
Thought you were to talk to her.
I'm going to talk to her. Don't know how.
Fine, I'll tell her.
I have to do it.
Me and Ryan are going to have a conference.
A good little strategy meeting.
We're going to figure the whole thing.
Makes me feel so much better.
Then we'll be free for this.
Seth, I have to study.
I started my own business right out of college
and now I'm a father of two
and I've got one line on my resume.
Did you ever mow your lawn as a kid?
Yeah.
Great. Jimmy Cooper Landscaping.
Your first job.
And now you're an entrepreneur.
Don't even have any references.
Sure, you do. Your clients.
Whose money you stole. Right.
Is that Jimmy Cooper?
Hey, Hailey.
You look fantastic.
How are you doing?
She's got no jobs, no friends,
and no prospects.
And I say that with love.
Sounds like we got a lot in common.
So, did you guys have the talk?
Yes.
We almost did.
It's just we were having so much fun,
and we've fought for so long,
it was nice to just hang out and be sisters.
I'll find out if she has a plan. You know her plan.
She's gonna mooch off us
until she can go make a withdrawal from the Bank of Dad
and then she'll take off again for a couple years.
Sandy, she said she wasn't going to do that this time.
She said she'd stay here and mooch off us forever?
She's not mooching.
Then how'd she get
all those new clothes she bought, huh?
From the salary she doesn't make?
From the trust fund she drained?
Bought you bagels.
And that fixes everything?
Yes, it does.
Sesame.
Oh, that's a start.
I'm going to hide them.
So, yeah, now I'm broke and sleeping at my sister's.
Hey, I'm broke
and my wife is sleeping with your father.
Fantastic.
We've really done well for ourselves.
Who knew, back in the day
when Kirsten and I were baby-sitting you,
and you were watching Silver Spoons,
that we'd both turn out to be so, uh...
Complicated?
And it was Golden Girls.
Oh, that's right! That's right.
You loved Golden Girls.
It's pretty impressive
that I was ten years old and totally relating
to the lives of 70-year-old women.
Blanche was 70?
She aged really well.
I'd love to hang.
Hear how you made such a mess of your life.
Same.
I bet your story doesn't involve
a fistfight at Cotillion.
No, but I bet yours doesn't contain
half a pound of hash and a border guard in Budapest.
( laughs )
No.
Nice that you and Jimmy are friends again.
I guess I can't blame a guy
for wanting to kiss my wife.
Feels like we never have time alone anymore.
Well, that's not true.
We have moments.
I want more moments.
( Hailey clears throat )
God, they're so whipped.
I gotta go pick up Marissa.
Sandy, thank you. Anytime.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes. Yes.
Jimmy and I are gonna hang out tomorrow night. Catch up.
Hang out, like out?
Mm-hmm.
Bet you have lots to catch up on.
Mm.
Tomorrow night. Tomorrow night.
Hey, man, how's it going?
I've got a flat tire.
You ran over a nail?
Somebody slashed it.
You want some help?
Thanks.
I've got a spare in the back.
Hey, Luke!
Why isn't your dad helping you with that tire?
I'm sure he'd like to bend over.
( guys snickering )
New Year's Resolution:
Punch people less.
I had the same one.
You think I'm getting what I deserve?
After all these years of being a jackass?
Definitely.
But, why don't we get out of here?
The tire can wait.
Yeah. That sounds good.
Go, go, go, break that tackle!
Go! Yeah!
Who plays PlayStation for the sports games?
Listen to me. You said Seth-Ryan time, okay?
This isn't Seth-Ryan time.
This is Seth-Luke-Ryan time and you know what?
Guess what?
No such thing as Seth-Luke-Ryan time.
Maybe Luke will have some good advice.
What does he know about juggling women?
Come on.
Okay, quite a bit.
But he wasn't good at it.
He's having a bad day.
Having a bad day, okay?
I'm having a bad week.
Some kids at school slashed his tires.
Damn it.
What do you think he wants on his pizza?
Cohen, Check the replay on this tackle.
I broke this bitch in half.
Luke has a gay dad.
Can't wait to see it, buddy.
( phone rings )
Hello?
MARISSA: Hey.
I'm at Oliver's.
And he just ordered way too much food.
Look, I know you said you wanted to spend tonight apart, but he asked me to call
and see if you wanted to come.
You're at Oliver's?
Summer had plans and then I saw Oliver at therapy and he said if I wanted...
Mm, that's so good.
OLIVER: It's Moroccan.
What's Moroccan?
The food. Just come, okay?
See you soon.
( dial tone )
How do you guys feel about Moroccan?
I think I really hurt that guy.
Where's the silverware?
No, man. Moroccan you eat with your hands.
Hey, no wonder Luke seems to be enjoying it so much.
How good is the cous cous? Mm, amazing.
It's pretty good.
No, that's the kefta.
Cous cous is the other thing.
Dude, I cannot believe you live in a penthouse, man.
This place is ridonkulous.
Yeah, it's always been my fantasy to live in a hotel.
Like Eloise.
Yeah, well, I guess,
but with my parents traveling so much
you can get lonely.
If you ever need any company.
Thanks, 'cause, you know, they might be gone awhile,
opening a new hotel in Paris.
I love Paris.
I could spend all day walking the Champs Elysées.
I like Paris, I love baguettes.
Dude, French chicks don't even shave their armpits.
You ever been to Paris, Ryan?
No, not yet.
I hear the Louvre's cool.
Do not go near that place.
Totally overrated.
The Mona Lisa is like the size of a stamp.
Now the Rodin Museum.
And Musee Picasso?
You know where my family's been spending their time?
Switzerland.
Snowboarding the Alps is unreal.
You boarded the Alps?
Closest I've ever come is Whistler.
Family's got a place in Big Bear.
We should go one weekend.
Think you could teach Ryan to board?
If you get him on a chairlift.
First two days, you'll be on your ass,
but we'll get you there.
I really like this song.
You know they're playing tomorrow.
Yeah, but it's all sold out.
You want to go?
Yeah, but it's all sold out.
I'll call their manager tomorrow.
They're amazing live.
You know Rooney?
That would be awesome.
I've never heard of them, but I've got nothing. I'll go.
Ryan?
C'mon, man. We'll all get to hang out.
It'll be fun.
Uh, cool.
Alright, then it's settled: we're going.
On me.
SETH: Nice.
MARISSA: This is gonna be great.
So now you're eating with silverware?
Next thing, I'll see you at the Louvre.
No, you won't, because, like Oliver said, it's lame.
Can we please focus on the crisis at hand for one second?
Okay? Summer. The way I figure it,
got many, many options at my fingertips.
Like the truth. That's a good one.
Hey, no argument there, buddy.
What I'm talking about,
is my messenger of truth, okay?
My delivery system of honesty.
The way I tell her. Now, I could call her.
That's one. Okay.
It's okay, but it's just okay.
I think it lacks any real spark or imagination. But it's effective.
Your voice on one end, hers on the other.
"I'm dating Anna." She'll hear you.
But the phone is a rather blunt instrument, no?
Now, what about text messaging?
Huh? I could Blackberry her.
Think about it. That feels very hip.
Feels edgy, feels 21st century. Kind of cold.
Mittens required. Yes. Uh... Ooh...
A carrier pigeon.
How cool would that be? Think about it.
A message all rolled up
in his cute little talons.
Summer's a fan of the pigeon. You're a coward.
Am I? Or am I just too sensitive to the feelings of others?
Coward, definitely.
I'll tell her Monday.
Actually, I think Tuesday. You know what, dude?
Might just give it till Friday because, she can have the weekend
to let it marinate.
Could do it today.
No. Because today will soon be tonight,
and tonight will be Rooney, and Rooney will be awesome.
Rooney. I saw him open for the Vines
in L.A. last year.
Yeah? We're seeing them tonight.
Thought it was sold out.
Mm-hmm. It happens they are, but I also happen
to be dialed in.
I've got the hookups.
Or at least Oliver does, and I'm going to ride his coattails.
Oliver? As in...
Oliver, the guy who wanted to kiss your girlfriend on New Year's.
Morning, Hailey.
It's not like that-- he's got a girlfriend.
Wait. If he has a girlfriend,
why is he hanging with yours?
Couldn't tell, but thanks.
The guy seems cool, right? I don't know.
We don't really seem to have a lot in common.
Besides your girlfriend.
Keep twisting the knife. Feels good.
Whatever. Got us backstage passes.
That's good enough for me.
Backstage? So now you have to worry
about your girl with Oliver
and rock stars?
Mind if I finish the corn flakes?
Hey, at least she asked. It's a start.
SANDY: Well, at least she's leaving the house.
It's a start.
And we'll have the place to ourselves.
Yes. We can eat bagels.
And I can wear my robe.
Or not. I can have the remote back.
She's crammed that poor TiVo full of every
E! True Hollywood special.
I think she's looking for tips.
That's nice, Sandy.
Well, I'm just saying,
she's cluttering up the TiVo,
and a clear TiVo equals a clear mind.
Are we okay with the kids
going to that concert?
Yeah.
Well, what if Rooney is, like,
death metal, Satan-worshipping speed freaks?
Honey, honey, honey, that went out, like, the late '90s.
I saw it
on a special on E!.
Listen, I'll run Rooney up my proverbial flagpole,
but you have got to speak to Hailey.
( Rooneys music playing )
So?
Yeah, it's... it's my first time hearing it, so...
Well, that's why we're doing a run-through now--
so you'll have heard it before tonight.
Right. So, we're going tonight?
Nah. It's your first concert,
we have free tickets, backstage passes.
You're right. We should skip it.
That's not what I'm saying.
What are you saying?
Have you met Natalie?
No, but I hear she's great.
And Oliver is... I mean...
Is someone jealous?
The song is good.
Turn it up really, really, loud.
* No one should call, no one should ring *
* 'Cause no one's home...
( music continues )
Oliver will be with Natalie,
Rooney is a really good band
and tonight we're going to have fun.
I know. There won't be dancing, right?
I'll dance. You can watch.
Works for me.
* I'm sorry, sorry for making your life a living hell *
* I'm sorry, sorry for making your life a living hell... *
( music continues )
( music stops )
I think that's enough.
What?
There was almost a knee bend.
You were about to find the beat. And?
And need I remind you of cousin Jeffrey's bar mitzvah?
You almost wiped out six 13-year-olds
on the dance floor.
It's that "YMCA" song.
It requires a lot of movement.
I'm just trying to spare causalities.
So, at this concert tonight,
anyone there going to be doing drugs?
I hope so. Otherwise, it's a lame-ass concert.
Anyone named Seth going to be doing any drugs?
No. Nobody named Seth Cohen.
Promise. I've got to stay sharp
and focused, 'cause it's my first date with Anna.
It is? Mm-hmm.
So you and Summer finally had the talk.
Oh, yes. Almost several times.
Seth? Father?
The sooner you tell her,
the better you're going to feel about everything.
Don't really believe that to be the case.
Sort of feeling like the longer I wait
to tell her, the longer I'll feel great.
The best advice I can give you is this:
It's from Steven Segal in his classic film
Hard To Kill.
"The anticipation of death
is far worse than death itself."
Right, so then, we both agree that Summer's going to kill me.
Look...
if you're old enough to go to a concert alone,
if you're old enough to embark on a real relationship,
you are old enough to be a man.
Well, she's not going to be there tonight,
so... I'll tell her Monday.
Good.
Now, get going.
Your mother and I want some time alone.
Hey, there's a visual
that I don't want to take with me tonight.
Well, son, your mom's a hottie,
and I got her.
* You want in
* Listen carefully...
I don't see him.
Maybe he's inside.
Excuse me, are you on the list?
Uh, yeah, we're with Oliver Trask.
Who's Oliver Trask? You don't have his name?
No, I don't have his name-- I've never heard his name.
That's why I'm asking, "Who's Oliver Trask?"
Thanks, you've been very helpful.
I'm just going to call him and see where he is.
There's a lot of freaks here, huh, Cohen?
Yeah, good job, Luke.
That should help make us a lot of friends.
Damn it. What?
They're going to go on soon.
If Oliver's not here in two minutes,
we're going to miss the first song.
They only have one album,
so you factor in your standard cover,
that's, like, 12 songs.
Oh, no, but, hey, Yeah.
I mean, come on, if we don't get in,
we're still going to have fun tonight, right?
What are we going to do? Hey!
I hope you guys aren't waiting for me.
Hey, Summer.
Cohen. Hey, Anna.
Summer. Hi.
Who are you talking to?
It just goes straight to voicemail.
Dude, look at that freak.
( anxious laugh )
Drove alone, Anna. Will you ride with me?
Guys want to give up so early?
Maybe I can grease a few palms.
OLIVER: Hey.
ALL: Hey!
There you guys are.
What's up, man? What's up?
Hi. Hi.
Thought you were a no-show.
What happened?
I-I thought I said back door.
No, you didn't.
MAN: We'll load in here.
( car doors closing )
The band's here.
What's happening? What up, guys?
Robert, how's it goin', man?
Dude, it's good. It's good to see you.
Looking forward to the show.
Thank you, man. Yeah.
See you.
SETH: Guess we're on time.
Which one's Rooney?
( laughing ): They're all Rooney.
Hey, man, this is my posse.
( laughing )
MARISSA: Hey.
So, where's Natalie?
Yeah, we had another fight.
This whole long distance thing is tough.
Looks like I'm dateless tonight.
Hey, no, no way.
We'll be your date, right?
Yeah, right.
So... should we fire up the hot tub?
Oh, interesting. Open a bottle of wine.
Oh, I like it.
First stop, TiVo.
I'm going to erase all of Hailey's programs.
HAILEY: A pizza?
Hailey! Hey, guys, you're just in time.
Doctor. Doctor.
James.
What's up?
Oh, I-I just thought that you were going out tonight.
We were, but then I found out
there's a Golden Girls marathon on Lifetime,
and I decided to dig up all my favorite board games.
We're having a throwback to the old baby-sitting days.
HAILEY: Why don't you guys join us?
Great. That would be great.
Uh-huh.
Oh, I love this episode. Hey, this is...
the one where Rose adopts the pig.
JAMES: She adopted the pig? Uh-huh.
You play?
A little. Here, man.
All Access! Sweet!
Hey, it's cool?
It's cool.
Hey, check it out.
Seriously? Yeah.
Awesome. I...
I've just got a few songs that I wrote, uh...
* The first time
* I saw your eyes I knew
* We'd get it on, yeah... Okay, I'm just...
Seth, all I'm saying is that you have to tell her tonight.
No, I don't.
Hey. Hey.
Here you go.
Thank you. Hey, thank you.
So, Luke. He's... Yeah, don't let him out much.
* No, he didn't-- yes, he did... *
( humming rhythm )
Yeah, but you guys are cool? Having fun?
Everything's awesome. Glad to hear it.
Yeah... everything is not awesome.
Listen to me, okay? If I don't tell Summer tonight,
then later, when I tell, she'll remember
the fun time at Rooney, and that will cheer her up.
There'll never be a good time to tell.
If you think about it, tonight's not a bad night.
There's a lot of guys here.
A lot of cute,older guys.
There's a lot of musicians.
Girls like musicians.
Maybe you're right.
Are we flattering ourselves?
Am I flattering myself to think that someone will care?
I mean, me compared to...
you know, that dude or-or-or-or that guy?
Right. Are you checking out
dudes again, Cohen?
( laughing ) No.
But there're plenty that are out here tonight,
aren't there, Summer?
A lot of musicians.
In fact, you know what?
Think I'm going to find some myself.
Why don't you and Seth talk, you know, about anything.
Um... Cohen, you and Anna...
Me and Anna, what?
What?
Um, will you guys stand with me at the concert?
Marissa's, like, on a date, and I'm all alone tonight, so...
Okay, that'd be nice.
( singing melody )
( dialing phone )
Yeah, hey, man.
Yeah, I thought your boy was supposed to be here, like, an hour ago.
No, okay, no excuses.
I don't... don't care who you send, alright?
Just make sure it's good and it gets here quick.
Alright.
* Who's that you're going all around with *
* Well, I don't know
* You give him so much attention *
* But his heart, he just won't show... *
Hey. I can't see.
I'm stuck behind a row of giants.
Come with me.
Okay, lead the way.
* He puts the car in reverse before it's said *
* Who's that you're going all around with *
Oh... Sorry.
* I don't know...
Hey.
Did you tell? What'd she say?
Uh... Did she leave?
No, Summer is bringing
some refreshments for her friends.
Seth said you were thirsty.
SETH: You are thirsty, aren't you?
( whispering ): You suck.
( mouthing )
I got to pee.
You got to pee? I'll come with.
( mouthing )
( laughing )
You know the night that Mom and Dad
came home early from Palm Springs...
And we flushed all that beer down the toilet?
Lot of good that did.
Dad caught you guys throwing out the empty beer bottles.
I thought you were sleeping.
Face it, sister--
everything I know, I learned from you.
You were a bad influence, back in the day.
Where do you think I learned to piss off Dad?
The student becomes the master.
Yeah, and the master becomes Dad's slave,
helping to turn paradise into a parking lot.
Or at least a three-car garage.
Hey, ooh,
connect four.
Congratulations.
Next Saturday, Yahtzee.
HAILEY: No, wait. Stay.
Battleship, Uno?
You know, Sandy's right, it's late.
And besides, I have a show home
waiting for me in the morning.
Just what Orange County needs.
Another one of Dad's show homes
airlifted from the mansion factory
and dropped from the sky. The one on
the bluff that you mentioned.
That's a great house.
Yeah, if by great you mean
overbuilt, overpriced,
and exactly like this one?
Oh, nice. Hailey, nice.
I was kidding.
I'm laughing on the inside. I'm not.
You're living in our home.
You're insulting my wife.
You're driving my whole family crazy.
Is this true? Yeah.
And we all know what you're doing here.
She didn't mean anything.
It's just sisters.
No, all this talk about plans, about growing up,
it's shtick.
It's a routine and it's tired.
Know who's tired? Me.
So, why don't we just stop.
No, stop protecting her.
You're not even nice to Kirsten
and she's the reason why we're putting up with you.
Well, you won't have to put up with me
for much longer, okay?
( clattering )
( sighing )
Sorry?
Oh, it's not your fault, Jimmy.
No, I meant the board game.
* Thank you for being a friend *
* Traveled down the road and back again *
BOTH: * Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. *
You like The Golden Girls? Yes.
There's a marathon on this weekend, on Lifetime.
Cannot get that song out of my head. I love The Golden Girls.
I mean, it's not Rose's fault, she just is that way.
You're Rose? Yeah?
I'm Blanche. Ah!
It's kind of weird
that I relate to a 70-year-old woman...
How good was the episode when there was a blackout.
Um, how about when Rose adopts the pig?
And then Sophia loses her glasses
and then she thinks that the pig is a baby.
Yeah. It's so funny.
( humming theme song )
Jimmy.
Wait.
Sorry about that in there.
My little... tantrum.
Oh, listen, it's complicated between you and your sister.
It always has been.
You got to go, like, right now?
Yeah, I don't know if I ever told you, Hailey,
but I'm an extremely important person,
and, um, so I have to...
Yeah, no. Marissa's at a concert.
Yep, nothing but time.
For a few minutes,
didn't tonight feel like the good old days?
No, actually, it was more like
two kind of pathetic people grasping for the old days.
Right. That, too.
Look, the good old days, they're exactly that.
Would you really want to be back in high school?
BOTH: Yeah.
I would, too.
And you think I'm pathetic?
Yes, I do.
It's, uh, sad, really.
I always had a crush on you, you know that?
Uh, no, I, you know,
you were eight when I went away to college, so I, I wasn't...
Look, uh, you're, um...
Kirsten's sister.
So I've heard all my life.
Look, we don't want to make
a complicated situation even more complicated, right?
I mean, the last thing we need
is having Sandy or Kirsten catching us.
Unless that's what you were hoping for.
Look, your sister is amazing
and Sandy is such a great guy.
I think you're lucky
to have them looking out for you.
I know that I am.
I'm going to go.
Okay.
( car starts )
( "I'm Shakin'" plays )
* I forgot what it feels like
* To feel normal, to be normal *
* And I forgot what food tastes like *
* The way it tastes right
* The taste buds taste right
* I wake up in so much spit and sweat *
* It is not normal
* What is normal?
* Well, I go to bed
* When I wake up
* After cleaning all
* All the spit and sweat
* Now I'm, now I'm sha-sha-shakin' *
* Sha-shakin', I'm sha-sha-shakin' *

Hey, I'm going to, uh...
Hey, this is great, right?
Perfect.
Come here a second.

What are we doing?
This is better.
Wait, but we're missing the concert,
and we can't ditch Oliver.
Oliver's fine. He's friends with the band.
And with us.
Hey, I thought you said
you wanted us to hang out with friends?
You've known him two weeks.
How good a friend can he be?
Look, he's in recovery trying to stay clean.
I don't know, we can talk about stuff.
He tells me things, what he's going through.
Unlike me, right?
I didn't say that.
Look, I know you didn't want to come here tonight,
so, I mean, I guess if you want to leave...
Right.
Later.
* Sha-sha-shakin'
* Sha-shakin, I'm sha-sha-shakin' *
* Sha-shakin'...
LUKE: * Sha-shakin', I'm sha-sha-shakin'! *
Hey, Luke.
Hey, man, you know who sings this song?
Rooney! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Rooney!
I wish he'd keep it that way.
Yeah!
Rooney!
* Yeah, yeah, yeah...
( song continues in distance )
OLIVER: What the hell, man?!
Get off me!
Hey!
Get off me! I'm a cop.
What? There's got to be some kind of mistake.
Yeah, his.
He just tried to buy
three grams of coke from me.
Ryan, go back inside.
Don't tell anybody.
( mellow rock playing )
* Hey, baby
* You've hit me again, one more time *
* You said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, good-bye *
* Well, I don't want to be with you tonight *
* Forever
* Do you understand my monologue? *
Excuse me, uh... barkeep, sir.
Excuse...
Hey.
What can I get you?
How did you do that?
The usual?
Mountain Dew. How many?
Unfortunately three.
So Anna's telling Summer that we're a couple
and when they get back,
I will officially be in a relationship with Anna,
unless Summer kills me in which case,
you've been like a brother.
Glad to hear, 'cause I need your keys and phone.
Yeah? You okay?
I'm fine. It's Oliver.
What? What's going on?
I'll tell you later? Yeah, alright.
You're going to miss a hell of a show though,
and Rooney's not bad either.
Is Jimmy gone?
Yeah. Is she alright?
I knocked. She didn't answer.
Maybe she's giving us the house back for the night.
Or maybe she's packing,
and when we wake up, she'll be gone,
and frankly, I'd rather have her here
where I can keep an eye on her than anywhere else.
( phone ringing )
You can't keep her here forever.
It's no good for her and it's no good for us.
Hello.
Hey, what's wrong?
Where are you?
I'll be right there.
Ryan's at the police station.
( cheering and applause )
Thank you, Newport Beach.
Goodnight everybody. Thank you.
Seth.
Hey. Where you been?
At the bar. How did it go?
It was amazing.
They played the whole album.
Not Rooney.
How did it go with Summer? Did you tell?
Tell me what?
So you're a couple.
Yes. No.
That is, we wanted to tell you first before we
officially became a couple, which now, yes we are.
So, you chose Anna? No.
Kind of yeah.
She came over on New Year's Eve.
You were with me on New Year's Eve.
Technically, Summer, you were with that guy, Allen.
Remember? And you kept insisting
that I go find someone to kiss,
so... I did.
SETH: I was taking out the garbage,
she was in the driveway, you know how these things go.
Okay. Well, congrats.
You're not mad?
No. Huh-uh.
Good, because I really didn't want this
to affect our relationship.
Well, Anna, I have to say that Rose would have never
pulled that New Year's stunt on Blanche.
I know, I'm sorry.
Although, Blanche would have done it to Rose, so.
So, can we still all hang out?
Will you be cool with that?
We both would really like that if we could hang out. Yeah.
Sure.
You guys, we can totally hang out.
I mean, in fact, what are you guys doing right now?
So, they're gonna let him go.
Really? How'd you do that?
I'm just that good,
and I used to play poker with these guys.
Thanks for doing this.
You didn't have to, really.
Is this kid a friend of yours?
He's a friend of Marissa's. They met in therapy.
Said he's been clean for a while, but...
Well, they busted him trying to buy coke,
then he said his parents were out of the country
for a month, believe that?
A parent leaving a kid like that on his own.
Yeah, imagine that.
( chuckles )
I'll never understand it.
I hope not.
I'm glad you called me.
Me, too.
I'm going to finish up your paperwork.
You sit tight. I'll be right back.
So, thanks.
Seth's dad seems cool.
He is.
So, why'd you do this for me?
I mean, you don't even like me, man.
I don't really know you.
Well, if it's any consolation,
I don't like myself very much right now either.
( sighs )
So, what happened?
I don't know.
Natalie didn't show, and then I saw you and Marissa,
your friends.
Then it hit me.
I have no one.
My parents are gone.
My friends-- ( wry laugh )
if you can even call them that--
they all disappeared when I got clean.
And now I...
There's Marissa.
Seth likes your taste in music.
And Luke pretty much likes everybody at this point.
( chuckles softly )
And what about you?
I mean, you must like me a little to get me out of jail.
No, that was Sandy.
( phone ringing ) ( sighs )
Marissa.
Are you going to tell her?
No...
you are.
( phone ringing )
Hey.
Yeah, it's Oliver.
( scatting quietly )
Hey, whoa! Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I can't have half?
There are other bagels.
Not salt bagels. You know why that is?
Because you ate them all and several sesame.
( sighs )
I haven't been the best guest, I know.
And what you said tonight...
Oh, hey, hey, Connect Four was happening.
It... it gets my blood up.
Well, you were right.
So, what's the plan?
To hit Caleb up for more cash and then what?
Europe this time?
Iceland, Boca?
I don't know.
You know, I see how happy you guys are and I think,
why can't I have that?
Because you don't want it.
How do you know what I want? I don't even know what I want.
You could stay here.
I mean, not here exactly,
but... you know, get a home...
...a job, settle down.
No.
See, that's the thing.
All I know is what I don't want.
Well, that's not entirely true.
And the rest, you'll figure out.
Goodnight.
Hey.
No, wait, don't get up.
Thanks.
He's not a bad guy, Oliver.
This may come as a shock to you,
but right now I don't want to talk about Oliver.
Oh. Oh.
Hey, wow,
uh, kissing. Sorry about that.
Listen, we're all gonna hang out inside,
but you guys are obviously alone together, so do that.
Ryan, what happened to you, man?!
Dude, Luke, please... What?!
Someone stood a little too close to the speaker.
Dude, that concert did not suck at all!
( Anna laughs )
We PlayStationing it or what?
Yeah.
Okay, anytime you want to join us.
Come on, let's go back to the house
before Luke wakes up your parents.
Uh, I don't want to be the third wheel
or watch you guys make out, so enjoy.
Uh...
Well, we could stay here.
Yeah, but maybe we should...
Race you.
LUKE: Cohen, you say you've played this game before?
You see the way I ripped that guy's spine out?
Sitting right here, buddy.
Hey. Hey.
I'm so glad that we all can hang together
like this, aren't you guys?
ANNA: Yeah.
LUKE: Ryan, you're up.
Cohen, we'll make it best of five.
( girls laughing )
( screams ) Hey.
Hey, dude. Whoa.
Football player... ( all laughing )
Soccer. Soccer, yeah.
( Marissa laughing )
( talking, laughing fades )
