Previously on The O.C.:
ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Valley...
WOMAN: Stay in Tarzana...
Previously on The Valley...
MAN: I feel I don't fit here in Tarzana.
You owe it to yourself. Get out, get free.
Why do I need to leave?
You're here. Exactly.
Luke? Luke just came by to de-frag my hard drive.
You look so hot.
JIMMY: Now, forgive me.
This can't possibly be happening, right?
I mean, I'm-I'm crazy.
I have this whole life to figure out, and so does Ryan.
Take care of him.
I'll see you.
SETH: So... then did you take your watch off
during the deed, or... when exactly?
Want to wait in the car?
I can pick those up.
That's cool, few more questions.
I don't understand. Did you take it off during foreplay?
Was it before foreplay?
That would seem presumptuous
No, seriously. You can stay
in there... radio on, windows up...
I like to leave it know how I'm doing,
if I'm beating my old time. (groans)
It's sort of a sex marathon,
not a sex sprint. Excuse me? Hi.
I'm the guy that called earlier
about the watch that was left here.
Uh, room 204, right?
Yeah, such a nice girl was staying in there.
Beautiful, too, huh?
Your girlfriend?
Okay, that's a little awkward.
No. No, she's not, but thank you.
Girl like that-- you would be a lucky guy...
Okay, thank you for your time.
Or his time-- the timepiece.
Thanks, thanks a lot.
One day, we're going to look back
and we're just going to laugh.
and we're gonna laugh some more.
We're gonna have a good laugh. Not at my joke.
You know, the situation.
I'm fine, really.
I mean, Theresa's back with Eddie.
Where she'd be, right?
Yes! Absolutely. Listen, man,
This is a good time for you, okay?
This is clean-slate Ryan.
Finally, you have no women to protect
from violent, goateed factory workers
or pill-popping manic-depressives.
I guess you're right.
I do have a clean slate.
You do! Yeah.
Dude, since day one of you getting here,
it's been nothing but lady drama with you.
Marissa, Theresa, Luke, Oliver, Eddie.
I'm getting exhausted just thinking about it.
I'm kind of tired.
You should be, but you know what?
You're gonna get a break,
'cause you deserve it.
I think I'm going to declare this month
"Angst-Free Ryan Month."
Month? Think this'll last all month?
"Angst-Free Ryan Week."
With an option for an additional week if you like it.
Oh. Okay. Thanks, buddy.
Right on.
Hey, what's Luke doing here?
Did you tell him about your watch?
No, why would I?
* Wild women, wild women
* Wild women...
* Uh-huh, huh!
It didn't even last the night.
(piano and acoustic guitar strumming gentle melody)
* California, here we come
* Right back where we started from *
* California
* California...
* Here in Cal...
* California
* Here we come.
I can't believe they were at a motel.
It's just...
It's so cheap, it's so tawdry.
Yeah, that's the real moral of the story here.
You know, we're going to have to see Luke
at school today, right?
How could he do it?
Well, I mean, I get how he could do it.
It's Mrs. Cooper, but...
What about her?
It's her daughter's ex-boyfriend.
If Marissa found out...
No, she cannot find out.
She doesn't handle the bad news well at all.
So, it's got to end, before she finds out.
I agree.
Maybe you should sort of take the reins on this one.
I would, but I feel like it's more your speed.
Uh, Sandy,
Jimmy's here.
Whoa! Hot, hot, hot.
Hey! How are you, Jimmy?
We're screwed.
Good!
Nothing like a little optimism in the morning.
I'm serious.
Opening day is right around the corner.
We got no contractor, no designer...
When was the last time you looked at the books?
I don't. That's your job.
Well, we've basically
blown through our entire budget.
Well, you're really not so good
at managing the money, are you, Coop?
No, I'm really not.
Wow. How did that happen?
Construction, labor, permits.
Oh, wow!
It's a letter from Hailey.
She's an aerobics instructor at Club Med in Turks and Caicos.
Turks and Caicos.
Wow.
Unbelievable.
That is unbelievable.
Hailey got a job.
So, um, I'm going to spend the weekend
interviewing designers--
not that we can afford any of them.
Julie's going to take Marissa, so I can work.
I better get to work,
so I can make some money that we can lose.
Oy.
Uh, so, you want a designer on the cheap.
How cheap? Like free?
Free is cheap.
Julie.
No.
No way!
She's good.
Yeah, at-at manipulating others
and backstabbing, pot-stirring, and generally creating
an atmosphere of hate and distrust.
She did a hell of a job on the Newport Group offices.
They were elegant and-and tasteful.
It was shocking, really.
This restaurant is supposed to be my oasis, my happy place.
A place to...
rebuild after Julie, not...
She's not doing to the Lighthouse
what she did to my marriage.
Well, free is cheap, Jimmy.
I mean, what choice do we have?
SUMMER: You asked me, Coop, and I think it's best.
You need some time off.
Ever since I've known you, you've had a boyfriend.
You're right.
You need to be independent,
or how else are you going to find a new guy?
You can't be with someone until you can be by yourself.
I can be by myself.
I mean still hanging with me.
Okay, good. Thank God!
What's going on here?
...we'll bring in some reflectors.
Our ol' boy Grady had a late night last night, you know?
Well, I don't know. I guess they're filming something.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, Coop!
What? What?
That's Grady Bridges.
Who's Grady Bridges?
Jake Needleman? The Valley!
He is so cute.
Really? You think?
Yeah, not in your traditional kind of way, but he's hilarious!
He's so funny.
I hear he, like, improvises all of his scenes.
Let's go say hi. Well, I...
Be cool, okay?
Hey, Grady, we're your biggest fans!
The Valley is my favorite show.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
Oh, I love it.
Obsessed, addicted.
MARISSA: So, um,
what are you guys doing here?
Well, we are on what they call, uh, location.
Which basically means that we're shooting a scene...
My character starts dating this girl from Newport...
No, you'll ruin it!
Okay! Okay. Geez, are you
as obsessed as she is?
Oh... Oh, actually, I've never seen your show...
Coop! What?!
(laughs)
See, now that's funny.
Oh, that's funny!
That was funny.
She's a funny girl.
Maybe they're not having sex.
Maybe they just go to a motel to spoon and watch Charlie Rose.
You're right. That's probably it.
Oh, my God, you guys!
We have the craziest news ever.
I mean, nothing you could tell us could top this.
We met Grady Bridges.
Star of The Valley-- the best show ever!
Okay. Anyways, he invited us
to his birthday party tomorrow night.
The star of a hit TV show invited you
to his cool Hollywood birthday party?
That is awesome.
There's no need for jealousy, Cohen.
SUMMER: I could never date an actor.
Really? Yes!
I got us a couple of plus-ones. Great.
I have to go show everybody the pictures of me and Grady.
Thank God I had my camera phone.
They are the autograph of the 21st century.
Photos, Summer? I would like to see these photos.
Why don't we share them?
So, how's Theresa?
Uh... she's good. She's back with Eddie.
Have you talked to her since she left?
Yeah, we have, but we, uh...
We're taking some time apart. It was the best thing, I guess.
Yeah.
(bell rings)
Oh. We should go.
Yeah.
Good light.
Exposed brick.
It's a bit '80s, but these trends are cyclical.
South-facing windows.
Hmm, these floors could be sanded,
and the beams are rather oppressive.
Well, some white enamel could lighten it right up.
Hmm.
I'll do it.
Now, you know, we can't pay you.
Well, you know, everybody has to start somewhere.
And the value it'll add
to my portfolio alone will be worth it.
It'll be my calling card.
And we should get started right away.
Well, you will have to pay for the floors,
the linens, the silverware.
Unless you want your patrons eating with their hands,
like Jimmy does. Whoa, happy place.
Happy place, happy place...
How much, Julie?
What do you think, Kirsten, low six?
What?! We don't have that kind of money!
What are you... What are you, skimming off the top?
No, sweetie, that was you.
Oh, my-my oasis
is-is is being violated.
My happy place is very unhappy right now...
Now, calm down, Jimbo.
Just breathe. I could pitch in.
No! No, please.
I appreciate it, I do, but don't.
I mean... separation of church and state.
This is my thing.
So, what are you saying?
That, uh, this is your happy place?
No.
Caleb could help.
No. This is my happy place.
It's my oasis from the rich and insufferable.
It would be a good investment for him.
And the best thing that could happen to you two.
No, it would be the wor... No.
Kirsten, please, back me up.
He could be a silent partner.
A silent assassin. He would ruin everything.
He'll... He'll... want goulash on the menu.
I don't think we have any choice.
We can't raise that kind of cash in time.
Oh.
Hey, man. What's up?
Nothing.
So, did you have sex with Julie Cooper today?
Wha-what?
I saw you at the motel.
What are you thinking, man?
Marissa's mom?
I know, I know. I know what it...
what that must have looked like
or-or seemed like, but it's not like that.
We've got a connection.
Yeah, not anymore, you don't.
If Marissa finds out...
She won't.
Just like she didn't find out about you in Tijuana?
It's a small town.
People find out, and then they talk.
It's only a matter of time.
(sighs)
I've never felt this way about a girl--
woman-- before.
Yeah. I don't care.
Tomorrow, Marissa's going to L.A.
You? You're going to Julie's.
It's going to end.
Got it?
It's gonna end.
GRADY (on TV): ...complete lack of culture.
Oh! Let me guess...
Hey, man. What are you doing?
Shh. Watching The Valley.
I picked up the first season on DVD.
Oh, yeah? So, I talked to Luke.
the end of the episode, please?
Is that Grady?
Yeah.
He's kind of like you.
What, handsome and charming?
Geeky and sarcastic.
GRADY: ...watch my lips-- maybe a consonant, sometimes a vowel...
Oh, God, he is like me.
He is like me, except with his own TV show.
I was kidding. He's just a character.
He's probably not like you at all.
No, no, no. He improvises all his lines.
That's totally him, and he's totally me.
Except on a prime-time soap.
And Ryan, if you could've the real me
or you could've the TV me, which one?
You'd totally take the TV me.
We're not going to L.A. 'cause I'm going to lose Summer
to the real-life TV Seth Cohen. No.
We're going to L.A. We're taking the girls.
Luke's breaking up with Julie while we're gone.
You took care of it?
Yeah. That's good.
I told you you'd be back to angst-free Ryan in no time.
Yeah. ( doorbell rings )
I'll get it.
Hey.
Can we talk?
Uh, sure.
So, I'm not going to L.A.
What? Why?
You know how you said sometimes time apart
is the best thing?
Well, I think time apart might be the best thing,
for us.
You do?
Since you showed up,
it's been... pretty intense.
Good and bad, but intense.
And I don't know, maybe we just need to be away from each other.
Independent.
For a little while.
And you want to start this independent thing today?
( clears throat )
We both have clean slates.
This is a good time for us to be by ourselves.
So you go to L.A.,
and I'm going to spend some time with my mom.
See ya.
So, that was it?
That's your big plan you'd to sleep on?
If I don't go, Marissa will.
Fine, except you're going. You don't even know
if your parents're gonna let us go.
I'm gonna handle it. You're gonna lie?
No, I have evolved and now I'm a man of honor.
I need you to talk to them. It's kinda more your specialty.
It seems you're making a lot of things my specialty.
Great leadership is all about delegation.
So, now I'm your employee? No, we're partners.
What do you do?
I'm working on the business plan, okay?
And that's going to be awesome.
I just need you to convince my parents, convince Marissa,
and I'm going to supervise.
God, it's so easy!
I should go into business for myself.
SETH: Oh, we crane up, through the bushes...
That's perfect.
I'm sorry, Ryan, is it just me
or do my parents get better looking every day?
Ah, here we go.
SETH: What? Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.
What do you want, Seth?
Mom, can't a child just admire the beauty of his parents
in the morning light?
You don't look a day over perfection.
Also, there's a party in Hollywood tonight.
Hell, no. Why?
I don't have to. I'm just telling you no.
Do you see what you're doing? I do.
I came here to tell you the truth
and establish a bond of trust. I could've lied.
I could've said that I was going to Comicon or an IMAX movie.
All these little devices at my fingertips.
I knew that you never went to the IMAX movie.
Tag. You're tagged in.
It's just a birthday party. We'll be home by midnight.
No drinking, no drugs, no fighting. See?
Alright, now that we've covered the obvious,
whose birthday?
Grady Bridges.
The guy from The Valley?
Yes. I love him.
He's so cute.
And you guys, he can get any girl in the world he wants,
and right now he wants Summer, okay?
I have to go.
Please. I have to go.
You call when you get there and you're home by 11:30.
Don't spend an extra minute in L.A.
The town will steal your soul.
Right now it's about to steal my girlfriend.
I'm the only thing that stands between
Summer and a development deal, thank you.
Can you get his autograph?
Your cell phone takes pictures, right?
Now all you've to do is convince Marissa.
You're gonna make me do that alone, too?
We're business partners, okay? We serve different functions.
I'm the brains, you're the brawn.
I'm in the ivory tower,
you're down there on the streets making it happen.
Hey.
Call you back.
So, when I said we needed to spend some time apart,
I meant more than a couple hours.
I know.
What... what's that?
Oh, Luke's puka shells.
I just found them.
Blast from the past, huh?
Uh-huh. Okay, here's the thing.
Uh, not going to L.A. 'cause I'm not going,
that's not independent.
To be really independent
we both need to go to L.A. independently,
but together at the same time.
Okay, you're starting to sound like Seth.
I know, it rubs off. Look, I got to go.
Seth, unsupervised in a big city...?
Okay, no, I get that. Okay.
I don't want you to miss out 'cause of me.
And, you know,
we haven't had fun in a long time.
This is going to be fun.
Usually you don't think anything is fun.
It's always me talking you into going.
People change.
We're going to be living in the same town
for a while, right?
You know, going to the same school.
And we're friends. Yeah, so, you know,
we're going to have to do things independently but-but together.
You're right.
So, you really want me to go?
It's not about what I want.
It's about what you need.
( laughs ): Okay.
Maybe just a little.
Alright, let me just go get ready.
Alright, cool.
So, you need me, eh, Sanford?
Oh, here we go.
Dad.
Look, you did me a favor.
Now it's my turn to do one for you.
Don't do me any favors.
Let's-let's hear him out, okay?
CALEB: Your chef, what's he done?
Nothing really.
TV dinners mostly.
He's terrible.
Look, I know when I'm not wanted.
And yet, you're always at our house.
Marco was a sous-chef at Aubergines.
He's fantastic.
Aubergines? That's a good spot.
He could prepare some meals for you,
like, tonight. Good thinking.
No, I can't, I'm busy. I'm having a business dinner
with the Board of the Philharmonic.
Doesn't that include the editor-in-chief
of Riviera magazine,
the owner of the Daily Pilot, owner of the Mighty Ducks?
Yeah, some of them used to be Jimmy's clients,
before, well, you know.
Point being there, Julie?
They're the tastemakers of Newport Beach, James.
Why don't you have Marco cook for all of them?
You can't buy free publicity like that.
If you're gonna have a restaurant,
you've got to cook for a lot of people.
"You gonna've a restaurant, you gotta cook for
a lot of people."
That's our mission statement.
Sandy, we need the money and the press.
I know. Good idea, Jules.
Except for the fact that we just gutted the place.
There's dust all over. There's no furniture.
You can do it at our house. We've the place to ourselves.
The kids are on their way to L.A. It's perfect.
( Seth sighs )
Oh, my God.
We haven't moved in...
it's been forever now.
How do people live like this? How do you do it?
I don't know. It's times like these,
I wish we'd a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I always wish we'd Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It's a fine car.
You know, my mom's never home anymore.
She's always sending Caitlin to my grandma's.
You know what it sounds like to me?
Speaking as a child of divorce.
You think she's having an affair.
When my mom started blowing me off,
it was because she started...
Oh, it's a flying car!
No, that's my bad. Actually, that's a plane.
She's probably just working a lot, you know?
Professional woman. Yeah, busy.
Or getting busy.
Who you guys think is gonna be there?
SUMMER: I hope Orlando Bloom.
Legolas is so hot.
SETH: Right on.
I'm hoping for a little Natalie Portman,
Keira Knightley, maybe Kate Bosworth myself. Ow!
What?!
It's okay for you to pine over Legolas?
Yeah, he's an elf, okay? He saved Middle-earth.
That is a huge part of European history.
Don't worry about it. Tonight's going to be fun.
( quietly ): Luke better get it done.
Well, see you soonishly.
What about that date, JuJu?
Let's just see how tonight goes, Caleb.
I want you focused.
Bye.
Hey! Hey!
We need to talk! Luke!
What if Caleb saw you?
What are you doing with him?
Shouldn't he be washing his dentures or something?
Are you guys back together?
Don't start.
You were just using me
until grandpa came back?
Okay, I don't have a lot of time.
Okay, but... but we'll talk after?
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
( heavy rock music blaring )
Why wouldn't they let that heavyset girl in?
That was a guy.
Hey, girls. Hey, what's up?
I'm glad you made it.
I want to introduce you to some people. Okay.
Come on. Okay, wait.
How's that guy play high school?
Hollywood, man.
I thought it was a cliché--
young Hollywood doing coke with strippers.
You know, I didn't think they ate bread anymore.
Let me borrow your phone.
Hey, boys, I want you to meet some people.
This is Summer, Marissa and some guy.
Are they on the show?
No. No, this is Team Grady, right?
This is my agent.
This is my manager,
this is my lawyer, this is my publicist,
and then this... this is my producing partner.
You have a producing partner?
Yeah, yeah, we actually...
we control several properties, man.
We just got the rights to The Golden Girls.
Oh, my God, no way!
We're going to make it into a movie.
But we're going to make the Golden Girls,
you know, young and hot.
Oh.
RYAN: Luke, it's me.
I'm just calling to make sure you took care of it.
Take care of it.
Hey. Hey.
So, do you want to meet the cast?
Not really, you?
Yeah, not really.
Excuse me.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
What is with you? Ow. What?
Relax.
All you L.A. chicks are so lame.
We're not from L.A. We're from Orange County.
Orange County? Ew.
( Summer gasps )
Glad to see we're not the ones fighting for a change.
Yeah, I'm glad to see we're not one of those couples.
Or any kind of couple.
Right, this is definitely better.
Yep.
WOMAN: Having fun yet?
Hailey? Ryan?
What are you, uh...?
What are you...?
Hailey, keep it movin'.
Couples pay extra.
Got to go.
Wait, is that...?
Kirsten's sister Hailey.
Does Kirsten know she's here?
I-I doubt it.
This is Kirsten's worst nightmare.
All she does is worry about Hailey. Come on.
I'm late. I thought we're only going to do it once.
Can we talk now, because I really need...
Can't now, hon. Got to go be with the adults.
I'll talk to you later.
Newport used to be a glamorous town,
an escape for Hollywood stars
like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum.
The Lighthouse could be our chance
to bring those people back.
Now, wait a minute, Cal, I don't think
even the Lighthouse can bring back the Duke.
( laughter )
What I mean is we think the Lighthouse is step one
in the renaissance of Newport for destination dining,
a magnet for glitz and glamour and...
well, cash.
( laughter )
Look, Jimmy and I view the Lighthouse as a chance
to restore the restaurant to its former glory, you know?
It-it's just something from Newport for Newport.
We think it can be a bit of both,
an icon of the past,
a beacon for the future.
A bridge from the past to the present,
from Newport to... the rest of the world.
Hello, everybody.
Hi, Julie.
So sorry I'm late.
I hope I didn't miss anything.
Hey. You are glowing.
Well, I am just so... excited.
( alarm chirps )
( engine starts )
( automated voice ): You have one new message.
RYAN: Luke, it's me.
I'm just calling to make sure you took care of it.
Take care of it.
( sighs )
Hey.
Are you happy, Coop?
Are these the kind of people we want,
because these're the people we're going to be stuck with.
I know, it's not what we wanted exactly.
Mm... no, it's exactly not what we wanted at all.
Look, we need the money.
Without Caleb, we've got nothing.
Maybe nothing is better than this.
that's an easier position to take if you've another job.
This is all I have.
Hello?
Sandy, hey, it's me.
Ryan? Is everything okay?
Uh, not really.
We-we found Hailey.
What do you mean, you found Hailey?
Hailey?
Well, she got a job... as a stripper.
There're strippers at this party?
Strippers?
God, I never should've agreed to this.
What do you... what do you want us to do?
There is nothing you can do.
Hailey is not your responsibility.
Where-where are they?
Is she okay?
Look, what club are you at?
It's, uh, Luna Chicks.
Luna Chicks?
Well, that's just great.
What are you going to do?
I will deal with Hailey tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I want you guys home pronto.
Alright.
What's going on?
They found Hailey... working as a stripper
at this party.
Is, uh... she okay?
No, of course not, no. She's Hailey.
Should we do something? I, uh...
You know what we should do?
We shouldn't let Hailey ruin another evening.
We got enough to contend
and if Kirsten finds out about this...
I don't know.
You know what? We'll deal with it
tomorrow. Everything is going so well.
Everyone seems really excited.
What the hell's that smell?
What are we even cooking here?
It's meat loaf. It's my mother's specialty.
I got the most important people in the county in there,
the most sophisticated palates in Newport,
and you're going to offer them Nana Cohen's meat loaf?
Dad, it's their menu.
The menu if you're lunatics. Well, this is a disaster.
I've to call Catherine Zeta Jones' people.
I was trying to get her for the opening.
Marco, how quickly can you get down to the Crab Shack
and pick us up some...
Whoa, no, no, Marco, no. This is our restaurant.
You don't have a restaurant without me,
and neither me with meat loaf.
Then, maybe we're better off.
A man's life comes down
to a few decisive moments, and maybe this-this... meat loaf
is one of 'em.
This restaurant was-was supposed to be fun,
and if you wanna go ahead and ruin everything
that this restaurant is about,
then go ahead, fine.
I don't want any part of it.
Good night. Good luck.
That's why the man is bankrupt.
Do what you like.
Sink the ship...
but make it quick-- I'm starving.
Hey, Marco,
there's a lot riding on this meat loaf.
Julie, is that a...?
Curling iron burn.
Yeah, um... I'm going to go check on Cal.
MARISSA: This place is just too crowded.
Alright, as soon as we find Seth and Summer,
we're out of here. And Hailey.
I don't know. It-it's none of my business.
Yeah, it is. It's your family.
We need to find her and get out of here.
Alright, uh, you wait here.
If you see Seth, don't let him move,
and I'll just go try to find her.
Not without me.
Come on.
GRADY: Cheers, cheers...
to me and all of my glory, and a second season.
Mm.
Hey.
Hi, hi. How's it, uh... how's it goin'?
I'm so exhausted. Yeah?
Yeah, been up all night working on my thesis:
magical realism in American literature.
Are you familiar with the works of Thomas Pynchon?
I've only read The Crying of Lot 49.
Gravity's Rainbow is his masterpiece.
Don't tell anyone I'm in grad school.
Okay.
So, I've got
a new episode that hasn't aired yet.
Do you wanna see it? No way! You've a new episode?
Yeah, on tape. Yeah?
Well... yeah!
Alright, let's go. Hold on, I just have to...
Oh, yeah, no, I-I'm not foreign or anything.
( clears throat )
Um... yeah, that's, uh...
Cameraphone.
It's the autograph of the 21st century.
Yeah, that's what they say, that's what they say.
Let's go.
Call me sometime.
I will.
There you are.
I thought you'd flown the coop as well.
Just trying to get a little peace and quiet.
Wax philosophical about why your partner up and quit.
He hasn't quit.
He went after Hailey.
What are you talking about?
Hailey's in Club Med.
Well, she's in a club,
but in Hollywood... working as a stripper.
Ryan just called. They found her.
Anyway... that's where my partner went...
and that's why he's my partner.
This is so cool.
You're here... and here. It's awesome! Shh, shh, shh!
GRADY ( on TV ): I'm outta here. Late-tro.
Oh, my God! I bet that was improvised.
Listen, I'm really glad that you came to my...
No, wait, shh. I want to watch.
Why? I'm-I'm not in this scene.
It's just so good.
I wish I was from the Valley.
Hey, where's Summer?
I don't know, off with Grady somewhere.
I talk about Pynchon for, like, two seconds, suddenly, she's gone.
Yeah, well, I got something else for you.
You've a clean slate now, okay, so if I was you,
I'd procure a little private dance time with, uh...
Oh, my God, that's Hailey. Yeah, yeah, that's- that's what I...
Hey, hey.
What the hell are you doing?
I thought you're an aerobics instructor
in the Caribbean or something.
I figured if I told the truth, it wouldn't go over so well.
My mom's going to freak.
Don't tell her, not that she'd care.
She'd, if she knew.
What's wrong? I make good money.
What're you talking?
You look terrible. You work here?
Let me just grab my girlfriend, and we'll go.
Get up there. What're you tired today?
Didn't do enough coke?
Take it easy, man.
Just get back to work.
Don't tell her what to do, alright?
Excuse me? You got a problem?
Yeah, I do! No, he doesn't.
I'm sorry. We're just going to grab my girlfriend,
grab my aunt-- more gently than,
and we're leaving.
You're leaving now. Get out of my club.
Get 'em out of my club.
Out, out, out.
Get 'em out. Hey, hey.
Good-bye. Nice meeting you.
Good-bye.
I don't want to see these guys again.
Are we going to just leave Hailey?
I don't think we have a choice.
We can't leave without her.
I can't get ahold of Summer.
I think we should split up.
Let's scale a wall, find a fire escape,
climb through a window, the ushe...
I was All-Camp, uh, Capture the Flag, Camp Takahoe.
I'm very stealth.
That's kind of dewy. I'm going to go around.
We're going to the VIP entrance.
We're not VIP.
This is Hollywood.
Meet me in a minute. I have an idea.
WOMAN: This meat loaf is fantastic.
This is what we had planned.
Back to basics, comfort food.
What's old is new again.
I couldn't have said that better myself,
even though I already did.
So glad that you like it.
I'm going to get more wine. Anyone?
WOMAN: Oh, terrific.
Excuse me.
JuJu...
bring the wine, dear.
Um, thi-this one's empty. I'm going to get another.
What the hell are you doing here?!
We need to talk. Wait outside my house.
Go hide in the bushes or something. Go!
Go!
Back to work.
I told you VIPs only.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
I love you so much!
You are my favorite character!
Okay, do you watch The Valley?
No. I have a job.
It's only, like, the best show ever!
You are... actually a little shorter
than I imagined, but still so hot!
Thanks.
You here for the party?
Yeah.
Oh, my God, wait. Can I come with you?
Seriously, it would mean so much to me--
it really is my favorite show.
Take advantage, kid.
You're only a teen idol once.
Thanks, buddy.
Thanks, too!
I can't believe we're watching dailies.
Okay, but seriously, which take did you like better,
because I kind of like the acting
in that one, you know,
Mm-hmm. but the lighting wasn't as good
as the one before. Okay, I don't know.
Could we go back to the party? This is boring.
Well, how 'bout, uh, how 'bout some, uh, some music, huh?
That'll liven it up.
Little party in here.
Party in my Caddy.
What's this?
Uh, this is, uh, this is my band.
It's our, uh... it's our first CD. No kidding.
I like you.
I don't know why, but you just...
you've got...
I don't know, you've just got something,
you know?
I'm just... I'm a big fan of yours.
( Grady's band playing rock music )
Oh, my God, what are you doing?!
Wha...?
Cohen!
Summer! Hi.
Hi. I heard some really, really awful music,
and I knew it could only be self-indulgent actors with instruments.
What are you doing? Leaving.
Grady,
there you are! April, hi.
Oh, my God. You're on the show.
You are, like, the best thing on that show.
What are you doing with her?
Uh... I, uh, uh...
Wait. You two are dating?
God, don't-don't you think that's a bad idea?
What if things don't work out, you guys break up?
Isn't that bad for the show?
I guess we're about to find out.
April, Ap... hey, lock up the car for me, please.
April, wait!
( door shuts )
Hey.
I'm sorry. Let's go home...
someplace with real people.
Think we'll find that at home-- we live in Newport Beach.
Let's get out of L.A.
GRADY ( on TV ): I love her and she loves me...
Is that a new episode?
I already saw it. Grady's probably ad-libbing. Ooh!
What're you doing? You're coming with us.
You know what-- you're sweet
with this save the stripper campaign, but I'm fine.
You're fine? Yeah.
Get out of here, before he sees you.
Not without you. Look, we came...
What are you doing here?
RYAN: Hands off me.
You're gonna have a problem.
Out. You, too, Hailey.
Good-bye, good-bye. Good-bye, Hailey.
Oh, what are you going to do now, big shot?
What you going to do?
What are you going to hit a kid?
Dad?
What are you, the dad?
What are you?
A guy who's my age and still thinks he's 25?
You keep your kids out of my club.
You all right? Yeah.
Look, Sandy got held up, so, uh...
No, it's okay. Thank you.
Why don't you guys head back? I'll give Hailey a lift.
Okay, yeah. We'll just go find Seth and Summer.
All right. Okay.
Drive safe.
I wish you would've called first.
I would've washed my hair.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I just...
I was supposed to get a job managing this other bar,
and it fell through, and I needed
the money and... It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right. It doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Do you want to come home?
Yeah.
And could we've parked any further away?
At least we get to look forward
to a little Saturday night rush hour.
I think we did
pretty good in there, and I told you we make a good team.
I'm the brains, you're the brawn.
How come you're the brains?
I'm the one who talked us into that club.
I'm sorry, I'm the brains.
You can be the beauty. Yeah, that's exactly right.
You're the beauty, he's the brawn, I'm the brains. Perfect.
Great, and what am I, Cohen?
Uh... the boobs?
Uh, the bitch?
Okay, I'll take the boobs.
Hey... so will I. Oh...!
CALEB: Never seen so much meatloaf ever.
Ah, it was a beautiful sight.
Hey, where were you? It went great.
I, uh... have a surprise.
Oh, my God.
Picked her up from the airport,
fresh from Turks and Caicos.
It's the best Club Med.
I can't wait to hear the details.
Thanks, Jimmy... for bringing her back.
Why don't I draw you a bath, Hail?
Well, we should wrap this up,
do some business.
Ah, and there is my cue. You boys discuss the money.
Call me when you want to discuss linens.
Okay, fellas, I'm in.
We'll do it your way.
It's the only way.
Maybe you guys were right.
At the end of the day, it's good food
good people coming together.
Tonight was a good start.
Apparently.
Thanks.
Luke, what is so important that you--
We can't do this anymore.
Excuse me?
You're breaking up with me?
It was just, um...
It's not a good idea..
...and, uh...it never could've worked.
You're right.
Well, okay.
Right.
Okay.
Hi, Cal, it's me.
When you're ready for that date, let me know.
I can't believe they're watching "The Valley" after all that.
Hey, Summer says it's addictive.
So, is it okay if I hang out in here... not watching TV?
Yeah, sure.
So, did you have fun tonight?
Watching you get kicked out of a club... twice?
Yeah, actually, I kind of did.
Yeah? You were pretty good with the bouncer.
- Impressed? - Kind of was.
I should be the brains.
No, Seth's the brains.
Well, you're clearly not the beauty.
Oh, and now someone's the bitch.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay. Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come on, fight back.
I win.
Yeah, yeah, you win.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Mrs. Cohen, uh, is-is Ryan around?
Yeah, he's in the pool house.
( knocking ) Luke.
Hey, man, okay... It's over. I'm done having sex with Julie Cooper.
Marissa.
I...
You...
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
J-J-Just stop.
Marissa...
That's why you took me to L.A.?
I didn't want you to find out, not-not like this.
I-I've got to go.
