Previously on The OC.
Some friends of mine, wanting to get to know you.
Son of a bitch.
Hand me the briefcase.
If I'd never had sex before, why do I feel so horny?
My old assistant is the VP of Development
at a graphic novel company.
I arranged a meeting.
(Sandy) You and Kirsten have been spending time working together.
Lot of hours, late nights.
You have a great wife.
Why would Trey steal? Everything going great, right?
I screwed up.
There's no way Ryan's ever gonna forgive me.
- I don't blame him. - I'll talk to him.
In the morning, he's gone. I don't care where he goes.
(man on TV) He explains that his job is plum duty in the CHP..
Morning.
Morning, Mr. Cohen.
So today's the big day, huh?
Moving into your new apartment.
You got all your stuff?
[laughs] Yeah, there's not much to get.
- You don't need anything? - No, thanks.
You guys have done more than enough.
You're Ryan's brother. We're happy to help.
Still, there's-there's not many people
who would take in an ex-con.
He's lucky to have you.
You're part of this family now
so if anything comes up..
...we're here.
Thanks.
Grab yourself some breakfast.
I'll drop you by your place on my way.
I'm not really hungry
but I will take you up on the ride.
Did you tell Ryan you're leaving?
No, but it's okay.
Yeah, I don't know what happened with you guys.
I don't want to know.
It doesn't matter who was wrong
but someone's gonna have to be the first to reach out.
(Sandy) 'There he is.'
'I tell you, the timing in this household'
is a thing of beauty.
I'm gonna leave you two to say your goodbyes.
'Trey, I'll be in the car.'
Sandy's giving me a lift over to the apartment.
You got everything?
It's weird, being able
to fit your whole life into one bag.
Look, Ryan
it hasn't been easy but I appreciate everything
you and the Cohen's have done for me.
Funny way of showing it.
Look, I'm sorry, Ryan, okay?
I screwed up.
You and Seth and Marissa, you guys saved my ass.
I know that.
Would you please just accept my apology?
Don't keep Sandy waiting.
[piano and acoustic guitar strumming gentle melody]
* California, here we come *
* Right back where we started from *
* California *
* Here we come *
* Oh, oh, oh *
Hey, guys.
(both) Hey.
What's up?
So, uh, Ryan, doesn't Trey move into the apartment today?
Uh, yeah, he left this morning.
You think we should go by there
and give him a house warming gift?
That's all right. He doesn't need anything.
You sure? He doesn't exactly seem overburdened
with possessions, unless that bag of his
is like Mary Poppins'.
I wish I'd never made that reference.
Look, he's got his own place, he's out of our lives.
Just let him go.
You know, you think maybe it's time to forgive him
for the whole yard sale thing?
It wasn't a thing, Seth. He stole.
He wanted to be near you.
I appreciate what you guys are doing
but he's my brother.
Just leave him alone.
[knock on door] 'Come in. Good morning.'
Kirsten, congratulations.
You are a bona fide magazine publisher.
I know. The first issue's on the stands.
I was referring to our very first liable suit.
- What? - 'Nick Morton.'
Newport Beach politico.
Doesn't like the profile we ran. Thinks it makes him look sleazy.
You wrote that profile.
I made him look sleazy.
What do we do?
I thought I'd talk to Sandy.
Yeah, you guys are friends now, so great.
Julie's on her way, over.
I have to explain to her why she's not on the cover anymore.
Hey, She's been to Europe.
Maybe she's become this un-materialistic
humble, sweet person.
Carter, we're talking about Julie.
What about her?
Julie...you're..
We were just saying how glad we are you're back.
Oh, thank you, Kirsten. Carter.
Julie.
So, how was Italy?
Cal is still in Rome. some business thing.
I had to be back for our first issue.
Julie, there's something that I need to tell you.
Uh, after the whole..
Porno debacle. You can say it.
There were letters. Lots of letters.
And then,
the advertisers started threatening to cancel.
So we had to take you off the cover.
'I'm sorry.'
- You did the right thing. - I did?
Absolutely. Don't give it another thought.
God! It's really good to see you.
Both of you.
I really missed you.
I'm just saying, I should do the talking.
Do not worry, okay?
I promise you
this won't be another wild storm.
Look, I am calm, I am well-rested.
Reed's already read the pages.
He freaking loves them.
He's driving all the way from LA.
What do we know about him? What's he like?
I just know that he's Carter's assistant
before going to work at Bad Science. We've only emailed.
Dude, I still can't believe we're going to
have our own graphic novel.
I know.
I just can't believe it's 2005.
We were to have jet packs by now. Who dropped the ball?
What?
- Hey. - Oh hey, Summer.
We were just, um...
- Mm. - We were...
Talking about your comic. Don't lie, okay?
Graphic novel. It's...whatever.
It's just a little different.
Well, I'm gonna head to class.
And, uh, have a good one.
I'm sorry, okay?
I promised it wouldn't be weird
but I'm telling you this.
From here on out, full disclosure, okay?
I'll tell you everything Zach and I do
and I'm going to let you know everything.
- No. - And, what?
You and Zach working together is a bad idea but I can't stop it.
Summer, come on.
No, so here's the deal.
Whatever happens, I don't want to know anything about it.
Which means, as far as I'm concerned
your little comic doesn't exist.
Graphic novel.
A surfboard coffee table.
I am in the OC.
Carter, it's good to see you.
Yup, a little carpentry project while I'm between cases.
I came at the right time. You do any liable work?
Wow. One day on the stand, you already got a liable suit.
- Not bad. Who is it? - Nick Morton.
Oh, sleazebag.
He doesn't like to be called one in print.
I'd be happy to help out.
Liable cases are notoriously hard to prove.
- All your quotes are verbatim? - Yeah, word for word.
I'll give you the interview tapes.
Great, should be a breeze.
I used to surf. I grew up in Long Island.
'Montauk Point, West End.'
I'm heading out tomorrow, come with me.
I don't know. It's been such a long time.
- I don't have a board. - I'll lend you one.
And if Kirsten asks why I'm not at work?
You can tell her we'll be talking about the case.
[knocking]
Hey.
Marissa.
I brought you a little something.
I figured this place could use some sprucing.
Wow.
- That's a lava lamp. - Mm-hmm.
That's, uh, that's great.
Ryan wanted to come
but he had this thing after school.
Uh-huh.
Oh, come in.
I haven't bought chairs and tables and stuff, but...
Nice beanbag.
It's a stupid first thing to buy.
I've always wanted one.
It's an early birthday present to myself.
- When's your birthday? - Saturday.
Big two-one.
After being in prison
being able to buy beer feels a little anti-climactic.
Uh, do you want something to drink?
I've got one glass, but I can wash it.
No, no, that's okay.
I should get going, I'll see you later.
Sure. Thanks again.
He said he'd have all our stuff with him.
Um...Seth.
Oh, my God.
Oh!
He's a she. That's terrible.
Listen, Zach, I love girls, and I love comics.
The two do not mix, okay? It's going to be, like
"Let's make their outfits cuter..."
Let's just give her the benefit of the doubt.
You must be my two wunderkinds.
Reed Carlson, Bad Science Comics.
Pleasure to meet you. Zach, Seth.
I've been looking forward to this meeting.
That's great. Let's just get right to the project.
Okay.
You have tapped into something real and compelling.
I think the characters are vivid and engaging.
- Especially the Ironist. - Really?
Yeah, he's smart, funny, hip.
He is unlike anyone else in comics.
Wow, well, can I, uh, first, just say
how great it is to finally see a woman involved in comics.
Thank you.
We were thinking of expanding the Ironist's role a little bit.
I've to ask, who came up with this business plan?
I did.
- It's amazing. - Really?
I mean, I was a marketing minor in college
but you put this together, and you're 17...
I'm in awe.
You're like Doogie Howser meets Gordon Gekko, but with dimples.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
[phone rings]
Uh, that's my boss.
Just a sec?
Oh, hey, genius boy?
Zach, right?
'Could you order me an ice tea?'
God, how great is it she liked my business plan?
Yeah, that's really very.. It's very cool.
[doorbell rings]
- Hey, what's up? - Can I come in?
Yeah.
So what's going on? You want something to drink?
I'm fine.
Yeah?
I just came by to ask you something.
Oh, okay, sure.
Okay, uh..
Don't get mad, but I was thinking
it might be nice to throw Trey a birthday party.
What?
We could do it at my house by the pool.
You forgot, Saturday's his birthday.
No, I..
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
- You went over to see him? - Ryan--
After I asked you not to.
I brought him a lava lamp. It was no big deal.
Why are you doing all this?
Going over to see him, wanting to throw him a party?
He's your brother.
Exactly.
He's my brother.
if everyone had just let me handle it from the beginning
then none of this would have happened.
So I'm asking you again, stop pushing it.
I'm sorry. It's..
Sorry.
(Seth) Ryan, wake up.
[loud whisper] Ryan, wake up. No, get your own.
[groaning]
Wake up, man. It's a beautiful day.
The sun's shining, the birds are, you know.
Did I happen to mention to you last night about meeting Reed?
Beautiful, loves comics, will make you famous, yes.
So, here's the thing. I'm a bit worried about Zach.
- Zach. - Yeah.
Yeah, at the meeting.
He was like, "Reed this, Reed that."
'It was kind of disgusting.'
And you sure it's Zach who has the crush?
I love Summer, okay? Reed is a colleague.
I don't want her to like Zach more than me.
This is our first conversation in the pool house
since Marissa left.
Let's not talk about Marissa.
What? We did me. Let's go around the horn.
We got in a fight.
She wanted to throw a birthday party for Trey.
It's Trey's birthday?
- Seth. - No, hang on.
I'm just thinking how, you know, sometimes it takes an event
like a birthday or a wake
'to bring a family together. Think about this.'
Trey is blowing out his candles on his birthday.
His only wish is that his brother forgives him.
It's a pretty nice moment.
Good morning.
Hey.
Oh, it feels so good to be home.
Oh, and how much do I wish
you could have come to visit in Italy. It was...magical.
Yeah? If it was so great
why'd you come home early? Everything okay with Caleb?
Of course. I told you, I needed to come home for the magazine
and I missed you.
[phone rings]
Yeah.
Do you have an address?
I should have known.
Honey, I have to go.
But let's have dinner tonight, just the two of us, okay?
(Sandy) You're just out of practice.
Everybody hits themselves in the face with their boards.
Three times in one wave?
Well, that was impressive.
[chuckling] Still...surfing the OC
it's a world away from Long Island.
Hey, Sandy.
Erin, how you doing? You going out?
Yeah.
I'm free for a couple hours, so I'd get in the water.
- Hi. - Erin, Carter Buckley.
'He's running Newport Living.'
Oh, yeah. That came to the office yesterday.
I read the profile on Nick Morton.
- Way to scare him. - Carter wrote that.
And now we're being sued.
Erin's an orthopedist in town, and an excellent surfer.
Carter's just getting back into it.
Yeah, today I mastered hitting myself in the face.
Well, anytime Sandy's busy and you need a surf buddy
give me a call.
Yeah, thank you. I might.
Alright, see you, guys.
Yeah, it's a world away from Long Island, I'll tell you.
He got mad 'cause you wanted to throw a party for his brother?
It's not just the party. It's been building.
Trey coming here has been really hard for him.
Well, you tried.
If he doesn't want
a relationship with his brother, that's his problem.
I just hate for him to realize, later, how important
his brother is, and find out he's lost him.
Oh, my God.
You are the most supportive non-girlfriend in history.
You know if something important was happening in Seth's life
you'd be there for him.
Right. Of course.
(Seth) And then when she started talking
about how Iron Man's armor, his old armor
is actually better than his ultimate armor.
Dude, what about when she threw down
on the whole Cyclops versus Storm debate?
I never thought talking about comic books could be so sexy.
A beautiful girl who loves comics.
I didn't even know they existed.
It's like finding a unicorn, Zach.
It's like finding a really hot unicorn.
You know, it's just too bad you have a girlfriend
you know? Otherwise--
You could ask her out
but now you work together
so that's that whole professional ethics thing.
Yeah, I was wondering
how did Summer take the fact that Reed's a woman?
She's not bothered by a late night's work?
Summer doesn't want to know anything about the enterprise.
So I couldn't tell her, even if I wanted to.
Uh-huh.
- Hey, guys. - Hey.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
Actually, we were just talking about Reed.
Who's Reed?
Seth will tell you.
See you later.
Who's Reed?
Uh, you don't want to know. It's a comic book rep.
No, I do.
- You do? - Yeah.
Look, I've changed my mind.
I know this comic book is important to you
so it's important to me.
I want to know everything.
- Everything? - Yeah.
Jules. How the hell did you find me?
It was easy, Lance.
I just looked for the cheapest, scummiest motel
near a liquor store, and voilГ .
May I come in?
I guess so.
Listen, Jules, I don't know what
you're thinking, but..
- What the hell is that? - It's a gun, genius.
You use it to shoot people you want to kill.
Alright, Jules. Here's what happened.
"What happened?"
You humiliated me in front of my friends and family.
I've been kicked out
of every organization and club I belong to.
My own magazine has taken me off the cover.
And at home
I have a teenage daughter who sooner or later
will find out that her mother was a pornographer.
Let's just be reasonable here.
I am being reasonable.
In one night, you destroyed a life
I spent almost 20 years building.
So, I'm here to kill you.
Wait!
[clicks]
There's no bullets.
No.
Unfortunately.
But for just a second..
...I wanted you to feel
like your life was being taken away.
Hey.
I'm headed to pick up some Thai. You want to come?
Can't, studying history.
Well, you know what's on the way to the Thai place?
The apartment of a certain ex-con I know.
That's quite a sell.
You're not going to see him anymore?
People who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
- Well, I've learned. - Yeah, you've learned.
But your great victory is going to be not seeing your brother?
'Congratulations.'
Look, I'm not even talking about, like, having him move in
or help him find a job.
'I mean, I literally mean "Happy Birthday."'
Four syllables.
Four syllables, that's it.
Yeah.
Or six.. "Hey, Trey, Happy Birthday."
Hey.
You just get home?
Yeah. I sent Seth out for Thai.
Oh, perfect.
Did Carter tell you about surfing this morning?
He's a little rusty,
but he's definitely got some skills.
Did you two discuss the case at all
during your bonding session?
Well, you know, a little.
Oh, coming out of the water
we ran into Erin Lee, that young orthopedist.
I think there's definitely some sparks
between her and Carter.
We should have them over for dinner.
You know? Set them up.
- Wait, you're serious? - Yeah. Carter's new in town.
He doesn't know that many people.
Fine, sure.
Great. I'll make the calls.
Alright.
"Hey, Happy 21st," then we're off.
This is a mistake. He's never going to change.
Dude, you've got to trust people more.
There he is.
- Great, let's go. - No, wait, wait, wait.
'Would you relax?'
'He's probably just going to buy cigarettes.'
Or getting into that suspicious-looking Camaro
'with a guy who looks like Lou Reed.'
Alright.
I hope you like cold Thai.
(Seth) 'It's his 21st birthday.'
'I'm sure he's just going out for a drink.'
(Ryan) 'They're stopping. Pull over.'
(Seth) 'Or just picking up a friend.'
In a dark alley.
[sighs]
Who he owes some money to.
[loud pounding]
[sniffs]
Alright. Alright.
Oh, my God, you have to be kidding me.
What's up, man?
What the hell is your problem?
You are unbelievable, you know that?
- I saw you last night. - What?
What'd you buy? Coke? Speed?
- Get rid of it right now. - Oh, God, man.
I'm an idiot, for ever believing in you.
Here.
Why don't you call my parole officer
'cause it was his car I got into last night.
- What? - Yeah, guy in the alley?
That's a buddy of mine from prison.
Who got out and disappeared.
- I asked my PO to find him. - You gave him money.
He asked me for five bucks. I'm supposed to say no?
Guy's living in a trash can.
God, I was trying to convince him to go to a shelter.
That's it, Ry.
And, you know, it's-it's funny.
'cause when I saw you, I thought to myself
"My brother's come over
to take me out to breakfast for my birthday."
You know
maybe I'm the idiot for believing.
[knocking]
Hey.
Hey, hope I'm not, um..
'Can I?'
So, I'm sorry about the other day.
I-I was out of line.
He's your brother. I should have just respected that.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I...was taking out my frustration with him on you.
So does that mean you're willing to give him another chance?
Well, if he's willing to give me one.
Last night, Seth and I kind of followed him.
We hadn't meant to at first, but we did. Uh..
We thought we saw him trying to buy drugs.
- So this morning-- - You went and accused him.
Pretty much.
And no drugs?
He was helping out a homeless guy.
Ouch.
I don't know what to do.
Well, as it happens you've come to the right place.
Oh, Seth, these new pages are great.
Ah, yeah.
They're, you know, sketches mostly, but thank you.
Well, I owe Carter big. You and Zach are a find.
Yeah. Yeah, we're a good team.
I mean, I come up with the stories
I write the dialogue, I draw the pages
and, uh, Zach handles the late-night coffee runs.
Seriously, if you need a bone-dry cappuccino
Zach's, he's your go-to guy, so..
Where is Zach? He isn't coming?
Don't know. It's Saturday. He's probably getting a haircut.
You wouldn't know it
but that guy spends copious amounts of time grooming.
Did you get, like, a slight gay vibe from him at all?
What?
[phone rings] Excuse me.
Hey, what's up? Girl-girl-girlfriend.
Hey, Cohen, um, I need your help.
I'm actually in a meeting right now with-with Reed.
When you're done, will you meet me at Marissa's?
Oh, my God, I love these Little Miss Vixen sketches.
Who's that?
The waitress. I'm gonna call you back in a bit.
Okay, bye.
That's my mom.
You call your mom "girlfriend?"
[doorbell rings]
Mrs. Cooper-Nichol?
Yeah?
[knocking]
- Hey. - Marissa.
- What are you doing here? - I'm taking you out.
What?
I'm taking you out. It's your birthday.
No arguments.
Okay.
Okay. Alright. Let me get my keys.
Afraid someone's going to steal your beanbag?
Yeah, actually.
[chuckles] Come on.
(Marissa) I can't believe I forgot my wallet.
It'll just take a second, okay?
So where are we going to dinner?
Well..
...actually...I was thinking maybe we could eat in.
Surprise.
(Ryan) 'Surprise.'
Well, Happy Birthday, dude.
Happy Birthday.
Sorry, bro.
(Seth) Alright, we have hot dogs and hamburgers
and kielbasas for you.
Cohen learned how to use the grill.
'It's a major life achievement.'
(Seth) 'Right, I grilled some corn.'
I grilled some veggies.
I found something in Marissa's fridge, I grilled it.
Sounds great.
Marissa, I have to go out for a bit.
Can I trust you while I'm gone?
Yes, mom. It's going to be us
and maybe a couple girls from the charity league.
I don't want to come home and find I'm living in Delta house.
- Is that Ryan's brother? - Yeah.
Okay. Well, since he's 21
I guess it'd be okay if he had a beer.
But just one.
See, I can be a cool mom, too.
Bye, honey.
(Sandy) 'One weekend we should drive down to Swami's.'
It's a little crowded, but it's a killer ride.
Count me in.
- Hey, Kirsten. - Hey, Carter.
- You look nice. - 'Oh, thanks.'
On Sandy's orders.
Yeah, I didn't want him to embarrass us.
[doorbell rings]
That must be Erin.
I-I hope this isn't...strange, or--
No, it's not. It's fun.
Yeah, because, this, it wasn't my, uh.. I didn't..
(Sandy) Carter? You remember Erin?
Yes, I do. Hi.
My wife, Kirsten.
- Nice to meet you. - You, too.
'I was saying to Carter'
we should go to Swami's some weekend. What'd you think?
Sure, I'd love to.
Guys, come on outside.
The best thing about this place are the sunsets.
Lead the way.
You all go. I'll bring the wine.
(Sandy) 'Come out to the patio. Ooh. Watch your step.
'We got about a minute and a half'
'till the sunset is just magic.'
[guitar music]
* Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty *
Hey, Jules. Thanks for coming.
Just tell me what I'm doing here, hmm?
"If you want the rest, meet me?" What do you expect, Lance?
- My life is already ruined. - Look, I don't want anything.
Here. It's the rest of the tapes.
Look, just yesterday I got offered $8,500 for them
but I said no.
[scoffs] What a gentleman.
You want points for turning down eight grand
after fleecing Caleb for $500,000?
I didn't get a penny.
What?
Yeah, after he got the master tape
he had me beaten up and threatened a lot worse.
'But I guess he didn't tell you that.'
No.
I thought he would just pay up.
You know, to protect his wife and all.
A guy like Caleb Nichol doesn't mind taking chances.
Yeah, when it's my reputation he's gambling.
Jules, I never meant to hurt you.
Honestly.
But after he did that..
Well, you know what I'm like when I think I'm being cheated.
Yeah, I remember.
If I'd the money now, I would give it to you.
Every cent.
But I don't. I got nothing.
Not even the $8,500.
Got enough to buy me a drink?
[rock music]
Huh? So, uh..
How many people did you invite?
- Four. - Me, too.
(Seth) I don't even know four other people.
Looks like word spread.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Hey, check out Zach and that hottie.
'Hey.'
'That's, um..'
...a very attractive woman.
She looks a little older, don't you think?
'Like maybe she's in college?'
'I don't know.'
Yeah, maybe he'll bring her out here.
I see somebody doing magic by the pool. Let's go.
Magic tricks, huh? Definitely somebody you invited.
(Ryan) This is fine. You won't get in trouble?
Yeah, it's not like I'm throwing a rager.
[doorbell rings]
Hello. Is there a party here?
Uh, yeah.
This is it!
[crowd whooping]
[cheering]
[cheering continues]
I think the word has spread.
Yeah.
* Buy it, use it, break it, fix it *
* Trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it *
* Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it *
* Snap it, work it, quick, erase it *
* Write it, cut it, paste it, save it *
* Load it, check it, quit, rewrite it *
* Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it *
* Drag and drop it, zip, unzip it *
* Lock it, fill it, call it, find it *
* View it, code it, jam, unlock it *
* Surf it, scroll it pause it, click it *
Excuse me.
I'm sorry to interrupt your drinking.
I'm looking for, uh, Zach.
He plays water polo, too.
Are you talking to me, geek?
Oh, uh, I think, you know
"the kicking the comic book guy's ass", we're past it.
Oh, your hand goes all the way around.
Kind of hard to breathe.
[gagging]
Stop it, man.
'Stop it!'
I got a game tomorrow.
Yeah? Then I suggest you go home and get some sleep.
[groaning]
Get up.
Wow.
You okay?
Thanks, dude. It's dГ©jГ vu.
OC party, attacked by water polo guys, saved by an Atwood.
Hello.
That was amazing.
Do you, like, know aikido or something?
Okay, I'll just go.
- I'm Jess. - Uh, Trey. Nice tat.
Thanks. It's a Buddha smoking a joint.
That's very artistic.
I'd show you the rest
but my boyfriend's probably watching.
We can go somewhere else.
Sure.
Zach.
Seth.
(Seth) Hey, dude.
You want to explain yourself, maybe?
What about?
Dude, Reed.
Remember the whole professional ethics conversation we had?
Like not letting me know there was a meeting?
First of all, you were the guy.
"I have a laundry list of things to do."
- Why tell her I'm gay? - Now, I said "gay vibe."
I distinctly remember saying "gay vibe."
The two are very different.
Okay, then how about me getting you cappuccinos?
Bone-dry? What does that even mean?
God, what is she, a court reporter?
Excuse me. Sorry.
Look, okay?
I don't wanna get into this right now.
You look for your date. I'll look for mine.
Fine.
[music]
Finally, somewhere private.
You don't go to Harbor, do you?
No. I just moved here.
- From where? - Prison.
Did you kill someone?
No.
I stole a car.
So, what's a car thief doing at a Newport rager?
Well, actually..
...this is my birthday party.
Well, convict..
...time to open your present.
* Name it, read it, tune it, print it *
* Scan it, send it, fax, rename it *
* Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it *
* Turn it, leave it, start, format it *
* Technologic *
Oh, my gosh, but what was the name of that other guy?
- Dwight. - Oh, no. Oh. Dwight.
- No, he had that birthmark. - Oh.
I'm talking about the one-the one
who always said, oh, what was it?
"Bottom line."
Everything was "bottom line."
Like, yeah, "Vegas, bottom line, you're going to get screwed."
- Screwed! - Yeah.
Or he'd say, "Bottom line, I'm.."
What?
[Whitesnake singing "Here I go again"]
- Oh, my God. - What?
[gasps] Do you remember this concert?
Yeah. You threw your shirt at the band.
No, no, that was the Ratt concert.
Uh, you went through a lot of shirts.
[both laughing]
This was actually pretty fun, but, um---
Hold on. Don't go yet.
One more drink...For Whitesnake.
- For Whitesnake. - Yes!
Bring it on.
* Daft punk is playing at my house, my house *
* Everybody is lined up in my house, my house *
[sighs] Sorry.
Oh, no, come in.
There are a couple people in the shower anyway.
Wonderful.
[clears throat]
- Aren't you here with Zach? - Yeah. I mean, just as friends.
He's a great guy, isn't he?
Oh, my God, so sweet and cute.
I can't believe he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Well, some girls at our school can be idiots.
I know this sounds crazy, but, uh
have you ever heard of Little Miss Vixen?
Yeah, um...how do you know about Little Miss Vixen?
Do you know Seth?
Yeah. I'm working with him on his comic book.
I'm Reed.
You ass! He's a she!
- Hey, what are you doing? - Reed's a girl!
- Okay, I-I never said... - Don't you dare!
Don't even pretend that you didn't lie.
I knew you would get the wrong idea.
Oh, right, this is my fault because I wouldn't want to know
that my boyfriend met some gorgeous 23-year-old
who loves comics and thinks he's the next
Brian Bendis, whatever that means.
She said that she thinks I'm the next Bendis?
- Oh, my God. - Hey.
Summer, look, I'm sorry. I should've told you, okay?
Zach!
Zach, hey, are you leaving?
Yeah.
- Can I get a ride? - Um...yeah.
Summer, please.
Cohen, just shut up,
'cause even when you're not lying, you're lying.
* I show you the ropes, kid *
* Show you the ropes *
* Every rose has its thorn *
* Just like every night has its dawn *
Wow.
* Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song *
* Every rose has its thorn *
Poison rocked.
They did, they did.
[laughing]
Oh, baby, I think it's time to get you home.
Oh, yeah, home. Great.
Home, yeah. Caleb's going to divorce me.
Jules--
No, you know, he said he didn't judge me
about the whole... you know
but...all during this trip, he didn't even look at me.
I mean, and when he did, I could see it in his eyes.
- He was...disgusted. - That's not true.
That's why I came home early. I couldn't take it anymore.
So, yeah, uh, he'll divorce me.
I'll have no money, no career, no friends
nothing...for me and my girls.
What if something was to happen to Caleb?
[giggling] What do you mean?
19 years ago
when you left me for that guy, Cooper
my life just felt like it stopped, you know?
But seeing you again
I feel like I'm finally waking up.
It feels good.
Lance..
No. What's happening to you is my fault
so if getting rid of Caleb means
you and your daughters will be taken care of
I'll do it.
["Mi Casa" by Beat Phreaks]
Looking good, pal.
Hey! There you are.
And you're drinking water.
Someone's got to be responsible.
Yeah.
Huh.
Hey.
[feigns laughter]
Oh, okay, that's it.
I don't even want to deal with this.
Excuse me.
- This is my room. - Oh. You want in?
Get out.
[girls giggling]
Dude.
Your mom would understand, if she came home right now?
- Oh, definitely. - Yeah.
I mean, she did say Trey could have a beer.
Yeah.
Alright, listen.
Thank you for everything you've done for Trey.
If it wasn't for you, he and I..
[sighs]
You've been amazing.
I know what it's like to have
someone believe in you when no one else does.
["Way Out West" by Melt]
[girl screams]
Oh, my God.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
- Is she breathing? - I don't know.
Get her out. Get her out.
Oh, that article you wrote in Revolutions
about corporate heads that cheated the stockholders.
I got sued for that one, too.
But you were right. Now look at Tyco and Enron.
'Man, you were years ahead of everyone else.'
Still got sued.
You ever think about holding back, playing it safe?
You know, at the risk of sounding...pompous
if you're not going to tell the truth, what's the point?
[phone rings]
Just a minute. Excuse me.
'Yeah''
Kirsten, dinner was... dinner was great.
Oh, thank you.
I'm glad you both could make it.
- I'll be right there. - What is it?
The kids threw a party for Trey.
It got a little out of hand. Some girl took drugs.
- 'Passed out in the pool.' - Are Seth and Ryan okay?
The kids are okay. I gotta get over there. I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
Oh, I should move my, uh, car.
Thank you.
- I'll call you. - Okay.
Well, uh...
Here, let me help you.
I'm so sorry things had to end this way.
I know. I had a great time.
Carter seems really wonderful.
He is.
Just...be careful.
What do you mean?
[sighs]
This divorce was really hard on him.
He's divorced... and not over her yet, right?
Well, I think he is.
It's just that the wounds are still raw.
But he's a great guy.
I-I-I just thought you should know.
No, I-I appreciate it.
Thank you.
- She'll be okay? - Stand back.
Hey, what's going on?
(Ryan) 'Where you been?'
I, uh...
What, you know her?
Seth, Ryan, everybody okay?
- What about the girl? - We don't know.
Do you live here?
No. Uh, my name's Sandy Cohen.
I'm responsible for these four.
- Who lives here? - I do.
Where's your parents?
My mom's out. She's not answering her cell.
Okay, miss. We're gonna have to take you in.
Whoa, whoa. whoa. Officer, what are you doing?
Sir, we found a bag of ecstasy
'I'm betting that somebody gave it to that girl.'
'Till I find out who supplied it, I'm arresting the owner.'
[handcuffs clicking]
I gave 'em to her. I brought the drugs.
Trey..
Sorry.
(Sandy) Well, keep your mouth shut.
I'll meet you in jail. Officer, I'm his lawyer.
You have the right to remain silent.
'Anything you say can and will be used against you'
in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney
before questioning. Do you understand?'
Yeah.
