Programa de TV: The O.C. - 2x17
Previously on The O.C.: Carter Buckley, what's he done before?
He self-published a magazine called Revolution.
I read it religiously.
I'd love to meet him.
Where'd you find this?
- My husband.
- Well, I'll have to meet him.
LANCE: This is not the moment when you want your somehow perfect reputation undone.
You got three days to give me my money, or everyone in Newport's gonna see a lot more than your face.
I can't do it.
I'm really sorry.
You can't fight fate.
Now that you and I are back together, and Lindsay's out of the picture, maybe Marissa and Ryan might get it together.
So, who are you?
Whoever you want me to be.
All right, dinner time!
How do you feel about chicken parm?
That is simply unacceptable.
Hey, don't look at me.
I'm the one who wanted Thai.
Carter, I-I'm gonna have to call you back.
You're off the phone.
I barely recognize you without a wire coming out of your ear.
I'm sorry, honey.
It's just we're unveiling the magazine to advertisers in exactly 67 hours, at which point, I will have some semblance of a life back.
Oh, well, here's hoping.
SETH: Mmm.
I thought I smelled Alforno's.
Thank you, I'm starving.
Thanks.
Nice.
See you later.
Whoa, no, no, no.
Sorry!
This is a family dinner.
Uh, the sneak-attack family dinner, dude.
We walked right into it.
I have to work.
Yeah, and Ryan and I are in the middle of a very crucial PlayStation game.
It's kind of like our Super Bowl.
I don't care.
Nobody here eats tonight unless we sit down and eat as a family.
No excuses.
Tonight and together.
Now sit down, everybody, come on.
Family time's always best when it's forced.
You're not gonna be invited on the family trip I'm planning.
Ryan...
you ever seen Mount Rushmore?
Oh, that could be work.
Summer gets really mad if I'm not available.
Marissa's supposed to call me back.
I will get the phone.
Nobody's taking any calls.
It is dinner time.
Just a second...
It's for you.
What?!
How come Ryan gets to talk on the phone during dinner, and I can't play a little PlayStation?
Hello?
Hey.
Really!
When?
Yeah.
No.
All right.
See you then.
That was Trey.
Your brother?
Yeah.
He's getting out of jail tomorrow.
Wants me to pick him up in Chino.
Well, there's that family trip you wanted.
What are you doing in here?
There's bagels and cream cheese to be had in the kitchen.
Yeah, I'm coming.
And yet you're sitting.
I guess I just needed a second to brace myself for today.
Yeah.
Uh...
picking up your brother from prison.
That is not, not intense.
Have you talked to him at all, since...
Last Thanksgiving when he tried to get me to steal a car, no.
I kind of thought he was out of my life for good.
Well, do you want him out of your life?
I don't know.
Maybe.
He's my brother, but...
the guy's trouble If you want my advice, I mean, I-I-I...
Who am I kidding?
I'm totally out of my league on this one.
I will say this, though.
As your brother, your other brother, who is less related to you, I officially have your back.
Thanks, man.
All right.
Let's go.
Put your shoes on.
Bagels are waiting.
Yes.
I know Trey is the only family that Ryan has.
And I do think we should help him.
But you're scared I'm going to want to adopt him?
Honey?
Don't worry.
Trey is 20 years old and an ex-con.
I don't think he wants to be adopted.
But don't you think we got to help him?
It's just that we don't know what kind of effect this is going to have on Ryan and he's been doing so well this year.
'Morning.
You might want to switch to a more neutral topic.
Yeah, I was just about to come and get you.
You ready?
Sure.
I appreciate you driving me down to Chino, but I can take care of this myself.
This shouldn't have to be your problem.
Hey, if it's a Ryan problem, it's a Cohen problem.
Here you go.
For the road.
Thanks.
Dad?
I think I should head down to prison with you guys and take the day off school We all know I've had some, well, behavioral issues this year and I think prison might be just the thing to scare me straight.
Nice try.
Get to school.
I don't know any details.
Seth just said that Ryan went to go pick up Trey from jail.
Oh, my God, I wish I had known.
So you could have gone with him?
Because last time you two went to jail, it did not go so well.
Well, at least I could be there for him.
You sound extremely girlfriendy right now.
Hey, I'm just trying to be his friend, which is the part we skipped over last time.
Besides, Ryan and Trey have a very complicated relationship.
Speaking of which...
Zach?
Oh, my God, I'm having a panic spiral.
Wait, that's Zach on the Vespa?
Yeah, I didn't think he'd come back.
He was in Italy for so long, I assumed he bought a villa and opened an espresso bar.
Well, are you gonna say hello?
Oh, no, no.
I can't.
Last time I saw him is when I ditched him at the airport in front of his family.
Oh, well, you better say something 'cause he's coming over here.
I'm about to get bitch-slapped.
Hi, Zach.
Welcome back.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Or wait...
Buon Giorno.
Ooh.
How was Italy?
Oh, it was amazing.
It was probably the best vacation of my life.
Oh, I'm gonna be late.
Listen, great to see you guys.
Just catch up with me at lunch, okay?
I've got some awesome pictures to show you Okay.
Great.
All right, later.
Cool, bye.
Ok, somebody totally spiked that guy's gelato I guess you don't have to worry, Summ.
He seems pretty okay.
Yeah, a little too okay.
I'm not buying it.
He's hiding something.
Flashback?
A little bit.
It feels like 100 years since I got you out of juvie.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
And he's been in there the whole time.
What would you say if Trey stayed with us?
At least for a little while.
I- I don't know.
You know, if no one helps him, statistics say he's back in jail within a year.
Trey's old enough to take care of himself.
Little brother.
Good to see you, man.
I'm Sandy Cohen.
Nice to finally meet you.
You hungry?
Starving.
All right.
Let's go.
So, I think we hold on this shot of the coast just a bit longer, just until...
see into this shot.
What are you two doing?
Cutting a video for the showcase, "An Introduction To Newport Living. "
Your magazine?
The one with you on the cover.
Right, right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just a little distracted.
Kirsten, could I talk to you for a moment in private?
I'm going to get some air.
I made a mistake, Kiki.
A naked mistake.
Excuse me?
100 years ago, a boyfriend convinced me to let him film me in the act.
I was young, living on ramen, I needed the money.
Then I totally freaked.
I told him he could never show it to anyone, let alone release it, which he didn't.
Un-until now...
unless I give him half a million dollars.
Did you talk to a lawyer?
Sandy was able to negotiate the rights from him, but we still need to come up with the money.
Well, if Sandy can't help you, you're going to have to tell my dad.
TREY: This is it.
Right here.
Now, who are you staying with again?
It's my buddy, Rick.
Well, I think it's his brother's house.
But they said it's cool if I stay there.
Good to see ya.
Take care of yourself, Ry.
Thanks for lunch again, Mr.
Cohen.
Take care.
I'll call ya.
What do you say we give it a try?
Just for a few days.
Hey, Trey?
Want to come with us?
Hey, man, you came back.
People never leave and come back.
How you doing, man?
Long time no see.
How you been?
Good.
Dude, things are really good.
Listen, about what happened with you, me and Summer...
Don't worry about it, man.
You and Summer belong together.
I should have clued in to that a while ago.
Actually, I did clue into that a while ago.
Whatever, man.
I'm fine with it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You seem different.
You seem like you're Operating at a very high frequency?
If I tell you something, you promise not to tell Summer?
Yeah, okay.
I know my track record with secret keeping hasn't been that good, but it's got to turn around sometime.
Look, man, when I was in Italy, I met someone.
Her name's Francesca.
Yeah?
What's she like?
Tall, blonde, gorgeous.
Doesn't speak much English, but she's learning.
When we met, it was like...
we just clicked.
Yeah?
Are you guys still clicking, though?
I mean, across the globe?
Dude, we got webcam, we got e-mail, we got instant-message date.
Wow, long-distance dating is so hot.
Do me a favor, all right?
Don't tell Summer.
It might hurt her feelings that I moved on so quickly.
Yeah, yeah.
My lips are sealed.
Cool.
Well, this is the crib.
You've got to be kidding me.
You know, if it's any consolation, I felt the same way the first time I saw it.
Bet you get used to it, huh?
Trey, why don't you stay in the pool house?
Ryan, why don't you take the guest room?
Uh, yeah, okay.
Wait, did he just say pool house?
This is where you've been living?
Oh, you got hooked up.
Towels are in the linen closet, and you can borrow whatever shower stuff you need.
Thanks.
And, uh, sorry I'm kicking you out of your little cabana mansion here.
It's only for a few days.
Don't worry.
I won't get too comfortable.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
No, I know I'm crashing your party here.
But you've got a good thing going on here, and I'm not going to screw it up.
I promise.
Uh, see you later.
See you later.
Hey, man, I want some details.
Does Trey seem different to you?
I mean, Has he found Jesus?
Does he have a Chinese tattoo?
Did he shave his head?
0 for 3.
Oh, hi.
You're, uh, not Ryan.
Nope.
Trey.
Yeah, well, I was close.
You're still an Atwood.
Only a slightly more edgy, darker version, I think.
But some people think Ryan's gotten a little softer.
Ryan said you talk a lot.
Yeah, it's kind of a problem, but hopefully one you'll come to find endearing.
How's it, you know, feel to be, like, out?
Good.
Yeah, cool, monosyllables run in the family.
That's awesome...
Hey.
Good, you two have already met.
Trey's going to be staying with us.
Just until I can find my own place.
I thought you might need to do a little shopping.
This is just enough to get you started.
For clothing, toiletries, all the basics.
You sure?
Of course.
Ryan, you can show Trey where to go?
Yeah.
You want me to come?
I've got a knack for picking out the post-prison wardrobe.
TREY: You coming?
Yeah.
You know what?
Call Marissa.
Have her meet us.
Yeah, it's probably a better job for Cosmo girl.
Not like you to drop in for lunch.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Well, with all the hustle and bustle of this showcase, I've barely seen you.
It's crawfish, your favorite.
I just thought we should check in.
You know, have a State of the Union.
Sounds fair enough.
What's on the agenda?
I think we ought to replace the showerhead in the one guest bathroom upstairs.
Oh, and you really have to fire that new gardener.
Those are some sorry-looking hydrangea bushes out front.
Fine.
Is there anything else?
I made an adult film in the '80s with an ex-boyfriend who's now threatening to release it on the Internet unless I pay him half a million dollars.
And I really would like to redo the kitchen.
Are you saying you did porn?
It was erotica.
Tasteful, at times.
You've got yourself in quite a bind.
See, I knew it.
I knew that you would react this way.
Absolutely no sympathy.
And this from a man who kept an illegitimate child hidden from me...
All right, I'll pay the money.
You will?
Well, your dignity is at stake.
I'd say that's worth half a million dollars.
Oh, thank God.
You have no idea how much damage this could have caused the magazine, Marissa, me.
I'll call my financial advisor.
You should go back to work.
Right, because I have a magazine to launch.
Cal...
thank you.
How can Zach act so normal around me?
And here we are again.
No, I mean I ditched him at the airport.
It's not what you call letting him down easy I'm not certain on this, but I thought you and I were dating.
I know.
I just didn't expect him to get over me so fast.
Yeah, well, Zach's resilient.
I mean, under all that floppy hair and goofy smile, there's like a layer of steel.
You talked to him today, right?
Well, did he say anything?
Any footnotes to the whole "I Love Italy" story?
No.
I mean, I...
Spill it, Cohen.
He made me promise to keep it a secret.
Have you ever kept one in your life?
He has a girlfriend.
Already?
He's only been back like one day.
He met her in Italy.
Her name's Francesca.
And she's tall and beautiful and he's way into her, okay?
Great.
I say we get burgers and two vanilla milkshakes and fries.
She's tall?
$200 for this watch?
You believe that?
I know.
These stores are kind of pricey.
Yeah, bet you've got a closet full of this stuff, huh?
Shirts with alligators, top siders, the whole deal?
Maybe we should go.
You know, you're not going to find anything you need here.
What are you kidding?
I've got cash to spend.
I'm not going anywhere.
Hey, I found you.
Hey, Marissa.
Trey.
We've met before.
Marissa Cooper.
Oh, yeah.
You're Ry's girlfriend.
Oh, well, no, well, not anymore.
We're just friends.
Not just friends, but...
friends.
Right?
Right.
I heard Ryan was taking you shopping, so I figured you probably need some help.
Here, why don't you try this, and I'll grab you some more stuff.
Seth said you might need some backup.
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Wow, look at this.
Yeah, this has you written all over it.
Yeah, that looks really adorable on you.
'cause you're so cute.
Really, I thought ugly hats were your thing It looks really good on you.
Honestly, you should look at you...
So, to my utter shock, he agreed to pay in full.
Crisis averted.
I guess my dad's softening in his old age.
That or he has a porn tape buried in his past, too.
Speaking metaphorically, of course.
Hello, Kiki?
I'm talking about erotica.
I'm sorry.
What were you saying?
You like Carter.
Excuse me?
You have a thing for Carter.
Kirsten Cohen crushes Carter.
That's ridiculous.
Here I have been so preoccupied with my own sex scandal, I hadn't noticed yours.
That's enough.
Sandy's off in strange motels with that fugitive ex-girlfriend of his, so you decide to turn up the heat at the office?
Stop it.
I do not have feelings for...
Sandy!
Surprise.
Julie and I were just going over some magazine stuff.
Launch fever.
Well, I'll let you two talk.
So, what's up?
I invited Trey to stay with us for a few days.
Okay, sounds good.
Sounds good?
I thought you were going to have a five-alarm freak-out.
Well, I trust you.
I mean, you were right about Ryan, after all.
I- I'll see you tonight.
Hey, wait, now where's this famous Carter Buckley?
I'd love to meet him.
Oh, uh, toni...
it's-it's not a good time.
He's up, uh...
up to his ears in the launch.
All right, some other time, then.
I'll see you tonight.
Man, am I tired.
That's shopper's fatigue.
Shop enough and you'll become immune.
Trust me.
If anyone should know.
Hmm!
That's funny.
Excuse me?
Can I check your bag?
Why?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I saw you handling that watch before.
I didn't take your damn watch.
We have the right to look through your bag.
Just hand it over.
I see other people with bags here, I don't see you giving them a hard time.
Look, he didn't take anything.
- Just let him check through your bag.
- Hey, man, I'll handle this.
Why don't you get out of my face?
Send someone to the front entrance.
You know what?
Don't bother.
I paid...
for all of this.
If we hadn't gotten Trey out of the store, I swear he would have taken the guy out.
So he's got rage issues.
Like, uh, like Summer, or...?
He's just got a lot of pride, you know?
And a short fuse.
When something sets him off, it's like he can't control himself.
Well, it's comforting to have him staying here.
Have you told my parents?
No, I can't.
I know I should, but...
Hey, Ryan.
I finally met your brother.
He seems to be adjusting well.
Yeah, smooth sailing.
Here's one.
A barista at a local coffee joint Barista?
Oh, that's a fancy word for a guy who makes coffee.
That I can do.
We were just checking out the classifieds.
Job hunt begins today.
Feel like coming with me?
I'll pass, thanks.
Seth, why don't you come out and clear the patio furniture with me for the party?
I believe, son, that's code for "Let's get out of here. "
If I help clear it, can I skip it?
Again, I'm sorry about yesterday.
I just didn't like the way the guy was looking at me.
So you trashed the store.
My old ways aren't gonna work here.
I need to change.
Do it soon.
Zach.
Hey.
Uh...
I brought over some of your stuff.
Things you left at my house.
Post-breakup stuff exchange.
I won this for you at the Kick-off Carnival.
It was a gift.
And I'll always remember how you owned that Whack-a-Mole.
I don't feel like it's a good idea to have reminders of you lying around.
Look, I get that you moved on, but do you have to, like, totally erase me?
What do you mean, "moved on"?
Cohen.
He let it slip, okay?
I just, I didn't want you to know, in case it hurt your feelings.
Why would it hurt my feelings?
Just because 20 minutes after we broke up you're scootering around Italy with some six-foot-two Euro-chick?
Hey, you left me.
I know.
I know that, but...
The entire cast of The Valley are guest VJ's on Music Video Nation and I kind of have to see that.
So I will drop off your stuff soon.
Summer, wait!
Arrivederci.
Well, how do you like this?
Caleb Nichol showing up at my lowly hotel room.
Let's get this over with.
Thank you.
Video's right here.
It's all yours if the money's in that case.
$500,000.
As requested.
I'm assured this is the only copy?
This is it.
So how's it feel?
Get a little glimpse into your wife's past.
I didn't get where I am today by being a fool I knew what I was getting into when I married Julie Cooper.
So you expect me to believe that she told you about this?
Because Julie keeps her past pretty tight to the vest.
I have some very thorough and talented P.I.'s on my staff.
I venture to say there's nothing Julie's ever done that I don't know about.
Allow me.
Oh, what the hell is this?
These are some friends of mine looking forward to getting to know you.
You son of a bitch.
That's your cue to hand me the briefcase.
Lance?
Pleasure doing business with you.
Thanks for the tape.
I'd like those flowers delivered by 5:00.
Thank you.
Hey, what do you think?
For tonight?
I wanted Donatella Versace meets Martha Stewart before the scandal.
Oh, don't look now.
Boyfriend, 2:00.
Hey!
Brought you something.
Pinot noir.
Russian River Valley.
Hi.
Hey.
The one you said you loved.
Thank you, Carter.
How thoughtful.
I thought we'd, pop the top, have a few glasses before the madness begins.
We have a lot riding on this presentation.
I think it would be unprofessional to drink wine beforehand.
Are you kidding?
We average a bottle a night around here.
You can celebrate at the party tonight.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
Completely focused and totally sober. "
Kirsten and Carter Sitting in a tree... "
I'm just kidding.
Unless...
I'm not.
Julie: "K-I-S-S-I-N-G".
Oh...
Summer.
I thought we'd seen the last of you.
Is Zach home?
He's at water polo practice.
He'll be home in a few minutes.
Can I leave this stuff with you?
He left it at my house when we were dating So it's really over between the two of you?
Mrs.
Stevens, I am so sorry about what happened at the airport.
You should be.
But at least something good came out of it, right?
I mean, Zach met Francesca.
Who?
You know, six-foot-two, Italian supermodel.
Zach's new girlfriend?
And when would this have happened?
While he was sulking over you?
He never left the hotel room, Summer.
How'd the job hunt go today?
Not so good.
Tried five or six places...
They all turned me down on the spot.
Sucks.
You hungry?
Grab a bite?
Catch up?
Yeah.
That'd be great.
Cool.
We should head by the pier.
You'll like it.
They got, you know, boats and stuff.
After you clean this place up.
Geez, man.
You do have closets, you know.
Look who's funny...
This is the watch from that store.
- Yeah, I went back today and bought it.
- Don't lie to me.
I'm not.
You're never gonna change.
This family is taking a chance on you.
You know what?
It makes no difference what I tell you, 'cause you're only going to believe the worst about me, no matter what I do.
Can you blame me?
Guess I don't.
So why don't I do us both a favor and just take off?
Fine!
Oh, and I bought it as a gift for you.
To thank you for helping me out, and, before you go calling the cops on me...
here's the receipt.
Well, the party's starting soon.
Are you hiding out in here?
Yeah, good guess.
Where's Trey?
I see.
We knew it was gonna be bumpy.
This is harder than I thought it'd be.
Is there anything I can do?
Can I borrow the car?
Be careful.
Zach.
Hey!
I realize I forgot to give you your sweatshirt back.
You know, and I was going to.
I know you talked to my mom today.
Brief conversation...
Brief.
And I know she told you about Francesca, or, lack thereof.
You don't need to explain.
No, I do.
When I came home, I knew that I was going to see you and Cohen, and I didn't want things to be tense between us, and I figured the only way to do that was if I was with someone, too.
Zach, I'm sorry.
And you told Cohen because...
you knew that it would get back to me.
Within minutes.
God, that is so typical of Cohen.
I mean, he knew that it would make me jealous.
Summer, remember, she's a fake.
Yeah, but still.
Cohen could not wait to tell me about your smoking new girlfriend.
This is between you and Cohen.
Which has nothing to do with me.
Finally.
I am so sorry that I made a mess of everything.
As for Francesca, unlike some loudmouth geeks, I can keep a secret.
Hey, Ryan, where you going?
To get Trey.
He took off.
Well, I'll go with you.
Remember what happened last time you came to Chino?
Yeah, I saved your ass.
Come on.
Do you realize that in a couple of days your face will be on every coffee table in this town?
Well, frankly, I'm surprised we even got it off the ground.
Well, I'm not surprised at all.
Hi, Dad.
I know this magazine is going to be an enormous success.
Absolutely.
I take it everything went smoothly?
Everything's taken care of, JuJu.
Hey!
You made it.
I was starting to get worried.
Thank you.
Well, I came for Newport Living.
I do live in Newport.
Oh, is that what this party's for?
I didn't What's the deal?
Is it something I said?
Something you weren't supposed to say?
Right.
I guess I did something wrong, so I should probably just apologize.
Yeah, if you mean it.
It's kind of hard to mean it if I don't know what it is.
It's kind of hard to forgive you if you don't mean it, 'cause you don't know what you're supposed to be apologizing for.
I'm going to wait in your room for 20 minutes.
If you can't figure it out by then, I'm gone.
Hello, everybody.
Julie, congratulations Thank you.
May I speak with you for a moment?
Sure.
What is it?
Have I said something to you?
Have I done something wrong?
'Cause all day you have seemed angry at me Look, whatever it is, I hope you can talk to me about it, because we are liable to be working together for a long time, so I don't want to...
On second thought, let's just focus on the presentation.
I hope it goes without a hitch.
Excuse me, is that chardonnay?
Yes, ma'am, it is.
- Thank you.
We used to hang out at this place all the time.
I'll be back in a second.
What the hell are you doing here, man?
I came to find you.
I'm not looking to be found.
Trey, listen...
Beat it, little brother.
I just want to talk to you, all right?
Why, man?
You're in your pool house, and and I'm here.
I'm sorry, all right?
Why are we kidding ourselves here, Ry?
You knew it couldn't work.
We are who we are.
I'm not going back to Newport without you.
Fine.
Stay here.
See how well you fit in after being away two years.
I'm going to go out for some air.
Okay, I thought about it.
I thought about why you're angry.
And?
I have nothing.
I do not know what I did wrong.
Summer, but listen, I'm totally willing to apologize, extremely, sincerely.
Why did you tell me about Francesca?
because you begged me to.
That is not why, Cohen.
I have begged you to do plenty of stuff.
Like give up comic books, stop mumbling, and you don't do any of that.
Are you actually angry with me for being jealous of you being jealous of Zach?
No.
You were jealous?
Gee, why would that be, Summer?
Hearing you go on and on about Zach's new woman.
Because you told me about her.
Yeah, I did.
I saw the high road there and I just did not take it on that one.
You want to know why?
I was a little bit worried.
Here we have this big great kiss in the rain upside down, and I don't know, I thought, maybe what if after that, everything was a letdown for you?
You had buyer's remorse or something?
Cohen...
You are so neurotic.
Exactly.
Unlike Zach, who's anxiety-free with his big smile and natural athleticism.
That guy makes me feel very Jewish.
Look, I know Zach looks great on paper: the son of a congressman, sweet, selfless, and even, well, boring.
Yeah, he's a touch bland.
Yeah...
And you, with all your little flaws and your little quirks, somehow you keep drawing me back in.
Yeah?
So what you're saying to me is then, that the more neurotic and insecure I am, the more you're attracted to me?
Hmm?
Well, then, do I look fat in these pants?
Hello, everyone.
I'm Carter Buckley, managing editor.
And on behalf of everyone at Newport Living, I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight.
Now I would like to introduce the woman who has made all of this possible...
Julie Cooper Nichol.
Thank you, Carter.
I can't believe this night is finally here.
Well, what is Newport Living?
Wow, so that's Carter Buckley?
You haven't met him yet?
No, he's been more of a phantom presence I thought he'd look more like Jerry Garcia.
Who?
But if you really want to know what Newport Living is all about, take a look at this. "
If I'd never had sex before... "
"why do I feel so horny?"
"You're turning me on. "
Dear God.
Oh, my God.
Julie, give me the remote. "
Come over here, pizza boy. "
Oh, you son of a...
- Sorry about that, everyone.
- Julie, let's get you out of here.
technical difficulties.
Please, everyone, help themselves to a drink...
or two.
Lord knows...
I'm going to.
Don't worry, Ju-Ju.
It'll all blow over.
I don't understand.
I mean, you gave him his damn money.
It just goes to show, it doesn't pay to give in to these people.
You meet their every demand, and they ruin you, anyway.
Well, "ruin's" the wrong word.
You can go on with your life, Cal, but I am never leaving this room.
My Howard Hughes phase starts now.
We could go to Europe.
Paris, Vienna, anywhere you like.
By the time we get back, something else will have exploded to make this whole thing look silly.
I guess you can always count on this town for a new scandal.
Paris?
Carter?
Sandy Cohen.
You throw a hell of a party.
Sandy, it's great to finally meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm so sorry I haven't introduced you two.
Oh, no problem.
You sound like you have a wonderful family I do.
Thank you.
Including my mother-in-law, the porn star.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I think it kind of livened things up.
Yeah, well, here's hoping everyone was drunk enough they black out and don't remember anything tomorrow.
Here's hoping.
Can I get you two anything?
Oh, no thanks, I'm fine.
Listen...
about before, I have to apologize.
You do?
Yeah, you know, we have been working together for a few weeks now, and I just want you to know that if there has been a...
tension between us...
I don't know what you're talking about.
If there's been a...
vibe, between us...
...it's me, okay?
And I'm sorry.
Carter...
Let's just leave it at that, all right?
Ryan, I don't think he's coming back.
You're right.
Let's go.
Hey, you feel like playing some pool?
No, thanks.
All right, then let me buy you a drink.
Hey, I don't think She wants anything.
Was I talking to you?
Know what?
We should get out of here.
What?
I just want to buy you a drink.
Why you being rude?
I don't want anything to drink.
Hey, leave her alone, all right?
Listen, rich boy, I ain't buying the act, all right?
Let's get out of here.
Let go of her.
Come on.
You want some more?
Stop it, please!
Can I help you?
Tell your friends to let go of my brother!
Let him go.
Yeah, come on.
Let's go.
Wow, kid!
I haven't done that in a while.
Looked good.
Thanks for coming back for us.
Yeah?
Well, I was gonna say the same thing to you guys.
You want a ride?
Yeah, sure.
Well, where are we dropping you?
Just come home with us, man.
I thought you didn't want me over there.
eah, well, people change.
All right.
But I get to drive.
Oh, no, no.
I've seen you drive.
You're in the back seat.
Can't touch this, you can't touch this!
I'll drive.
Hey!
You guys were gone a while.
Everything okay?
Fine.
- Yeah, nothing to report.
- How was the party?
Good.
Uneventful.
Hey, guys.
Great party, okay?
Well, if you're hungry, we got leftovers.
Dad.
We're all having a family dinner.
You know, how about that?
Look at that.
Now this is not so painful.
I got to tell you, seems pretty great.
Yeah, wait till the novelty wears off, right, Ryan?
You know what?
It still works for me.
That's very...
Captured by RaceMan / Synchro by carax www.

com
He self-published a magazine called Revolution.
I read it religiously.
I'd love to meet him.
Where'd you find this?
- My husband.
- Well, I'll have to meet him.
LANCE: This is not the moment when you want your somehow perfect reputation undone.
You got three days to give me my money, or everyone in Newport's gonna see a lot more than your face.
I can't do it.
I'm really sorry.
You can't fight fate.
Now that you and I are back together, and Lindsay's out of the picture, maybe Marissa and Ryan might get it together.
So, who are you?
Whoever you want me to be.
All right, dinner time!
How do you feel about chicken parm?
That is simply unacceptable.
Hey, don't look at me.
I'm the one who wanted Thai.
Carter, I-I'm gonna have to call you back.
You're off the phone.
I barely recognize you without a wire coming out of your ear.
I'm sorry, honey.
It's just we're unveiling the magazine to advertisers in exactly 67 hours, at which point, I will have some semblance of a life back.
Oh, well, here's hoping.
SETH: Mmm.
I thought I smelled Alforno's.
Thank you, I'm starving.
Thanks.
Nice.
See you later.
Whoa, no, no, no.
Sorry!
This is a family dinner.
Uh, the sneak-attack family dinner, dude.
We walked right into it.
I have to work.
Yeah, and Ryan and I are in the middle of a very crucial PlayStation game.
It's kind of like our Super Bowl.
I don't care.
Nobody here eats tonight unless we sit down and eat as a family.
No excuses.
Tonight and together.
Now sit down, everybody, come on.
Family time's always best when it's forced.
You're not gonna be invited on the family trip I'm planning.
Ryan...
you ever seen Mount Rushmore?
Oh, that could be work.
Summer gets really mad if I'm not available.
Marissa's supposed to call me back.
I will get the phone.
Nobody's taking any calls.
It is dinner time.
Just a second...
It's for you.
What?!
How come Ryan gets to talk on the phone during dinner, and I can't play a little PlayStation?
Hello?
Hey.
Really!
When?
Yeah.
No.
All right.
See you then.
That was Trey.
Your brother?
Yeah.
He's getting out of jail tomorrow.
Wants me to pick him up in Chino.
Well, there's that family trip you wanted.
What are you doing in here?
There's bagels and cream cheese to be had in the kitchen.
Yeah, I'm coming.
And yet you're sitting.
I guess I just needed a second to brace myself for today.
Yeah.
Uh...
picking up your brother from prison.
That is not, not intense.
Have you talked to him at all, since...
Last Thanksgiving when he tried to get me to steal a car, no.
I kind of thought he was out of my life for good.
Well, do you want him out of your life?
I don't know.
Maybe.
He's my brother, but...
the guy's trouble If you want my advice, I mean, I-I-I...
Who am I kidding?
I'm totally out of my league on this one.
I will say this, though.
As your brother, your other brother, who is less related to you, I officially have your back.
Thanks, man.
All right.
Let's go.
Put your shoes on.
Bagels are waiting.
Yes.
I know Trey is the only family that Ryan has.
And I do think we should help him.
But you're scared I'm going to want to adopt him?
Honey?
Don't worry.
Trey is 20 years old and an ex-con.
I don't think he wants to be adopted.
But don't you think we got to help him?
It's just that we don't know what kind of effect this is going to have on Ryan and he's been doing so well this year.
'Morning.
You might want to switch to a more neutral topic.
Yeah, I was just about to come and get you.
You ready?
Sure.
I appreciate you driving me down to Chino, but I can take care of this myself.
This shouldn't have to be your problem.
Hey, if it's a Ryan problem, it's a Cohen problem.
Here you go.
For the road.
Thanks.
Dad?
I think I should head down to prison with you guys and take the day off school We all know I've had some, well, behavioral issues this year and I think prison might be just the thing to scare me straight.
Nice try.
Get to school.
I don't know any details.
Seth just said that Ryan went to go pick up Trey from jail.
Oh, my God, I wish I had known.
So you could have gone with him?
Because last time you two went to jail, it did not go so well.
Well, at least I could be there for him.
You sound extremely girlfriendy right now.
Hey, I'm just trying to be his friend, which is the part we skipped over last time.
Besides, Ryan and Trey have a very complicated relationship.
Speaking of which...
Zach?
Oh, my God, I'm having a panic spiral.
Wait, that's Zach on the Vespa?
Yeah, I didn't think he'd come back.
He was in Italy for so long, I assumed he bought a villa and opened an espresso bar.
Well, are you gonna say hello?
Oh, no, no.
I can't.
Last time I saw him is when I ditched him at the airport in front of his family.
Oh, well, you better say something 'cause he's coming over here.
I'm about to get bitch-slapped.
Hi, Zach.
Welcome back.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Or wait...
Buon Giorno.
Ooh.
How was Italy?
Oh, it was amazing.
It was probably the best vacation of my life.
Oh, I'm gonna be late.
Listen, great to see you guys.
Just catch up with me at lunch, okay?
I've got some awesome pictures to show you Okay.
Great.
All right, later.
Cool, bye.
Ok, somebody totally spiked that guy's gelato I guess you don't have to worry, Summ.
He seems pretty okay.
Yeah, a little too okay.
I'm not buying it.
He's hiding something.
Flashback?
A little bit.
It feels like 100 years since I got you out of juvie.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
And he's been in there the whole time.
What would you say if Trey stayed with us?
At least for a little while.
I- I don't know.
You know, if no one helps him, statistics say he's back in jail within a year.
Trey's old enough to take care of himself.
Little brother.
Good to see you, man.
I'm Sandy Cohen.
Nice to finally meet you.
You hungry?
Starving.
All right.
Let's go.
So, I think we hold on this shot of the coast just a bit longer, just until...
see into this shot.
What are you two doing?
Cutting a video for the showcase, "An Introduction To Newport Living. "
Your magazine?
The one with you on the cover.
Right, right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just a little distracted.
Kirsten, could I talk to you for a moment in private?
I'm going to get some air.
I made a mistake, Kiki.
A naked mistake.
Excuse me?
100 years ago, a boyfriend convinced me to let him film me in the act.
I was young, living on ramen, I needed the money.
Then I totally freaked.
I told him he could never show it to anyone, let alone release it, which he didn't.
Un-until now...
unless I give him half a million dollars.
Did you talk to a lawyer?
Sandy was able to negotiate the rights from him, but we still need to come up with the money.
Well, if Sandy can't help you, you're going to have to tell my dad.
TREY: This is it.
Right here.
Now, who are you staying with again?
It's my buddy, Rick.
Well, I think it's his brother's house.
But they said it's cool if I stay there.
Good to see ya.
Take care of yourself, Ry.
Thanks for lunch again, Mr.
Cohen.
Take care.
I'll call ya.
What do you say we give it a try?
Just for a few days.
Hey, Trey?
Want to come with us?
Hey, man, you came back.
People never leave and come back.
How you doing, man?
Long time no see.
How you been?
Good.
Dude, things are really good.
Listen, about what happened with you, me and Summer...
Don't worry about it, man.
You and Summer belong together.
I should have clued in to that a while ago.
Actually, I did clue into that a while ago.
Whatever, man.
I'm fine with it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You seem different.
You seem like you're Operating at a very high frequency?
If I tell you something, you promise not to tell Summer?
Yeah, okay.
I know my track record with secret keeping hasn't been that good, but it's got to turn around sometime.
Look, man, when I was in Italy, I met someone.
Her name's Francesca.
Yeah?
What's she like?
Tall, blonde, gorgeous.
Doesn't speak much English, but she's learning.
When we met, it was like...
we just clicked.
Yeah?
Are you guys still clicking, though?
I mean, across the globe?
Dude, we got webcam, we got e-mail, we got instant-message date.
Wow, long-distance dating is so hot.
Do me a favor, all right?
Don't tell Summer.
It might hurt her feelings that I moved on so quickly.
Yeah, yeah.
My lips are sealed.
Cool.
Well, this is the crib.
You've got to be kidding me.
You know, if it's any consolation, I felt the same way the first time I saw it.
Bet you get used to it, huh?
Trey, why don't you stay in the pool house?
Ryan, why don't you take the guest room?
Uh, yeah, okay.
Wait, did he just say pool house?
This is where you've been living?
Oh, you got hooked up.
Towels are in the linen closet, and you can borrow whatever shower stuff you need.
Thanks.
And, uh, sorry I'm kicking you out of your little cabana mansion here.
It's only for a few days.
Don't worry.
I won't get too comfortable.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
No, I know I'm crashing your party here.
But you've got a good thing going on here, and I'm not going to screw it up.
I promise.
Uh, see you later.
See you later.
Hey, man, I want some details.
Does Trey seem different to you?
I mean, Has he found Jesus?
Does he have a Chinese tattoo?
Did he shave his head?
0 for 3.
Oh, hi.
You're, uh, not Ryan.
Nope.
Trey.
Yeah, well, I was close.
You're still an Atwood.
Only a slightly more edgy, darker version, I think.
But some people think Ryan's gotten a little softer.
Ryan said you talk a lot.
Yeah, it's kind of a problem, but hopefully one you'll come to find endearing.
How's it, you know, feel to be, like, out?
Good.
Yeah, cool, monosyllables run in the family.
That's awesome...
Hey.
Good, you two have already met.
Trey's going to be staying with us.
Just until I can find my own place.
I thought you might need to do a little shopping.
This is just enough to get you started.
For clothing, toiletries, all the basics.
You sure?
Of course.
Ryan, you can show Trey where to go?
Yeah.
You want me to come?
I've got a knack for picking out the post-prison wardrobe.
TREY: You coming?
Yeah.
You know what?
Call Marissa.
Have her meet us.
Yeah, it's probably a better job for Cosmo girl.
Not like you to drop in for lunch.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Well, with all the hustle and bustle of this showcase, I've barely seen you.
It's crawfish, your favorite.
I just thought we should check in.
You know, have a State of the Union.
Sounds fair enough.
What's on the agenda?
I think we ought to replace the showerhead in the one guest bathroom upstairs.
Oh, and you really have to fire that new gardener.
Those are some sorry-looking hydrangea bushes out front.
Fine.
Is there anything else?
I made an adult film in the '80s with an ex-boyfriend who's now threatening to release it on the Internet unless I pay him half a million dollars.
And I really would like to redo the kitchen.
Are you saying you did porn?
It was erotica.
Tasteful, at times.
You've got yourself in quite a bind.
See, I knew it.
I knew that you would react this way.
Absolutely no sympathy.
And this from a man who kept an illegitimate child hidden from me...
All right, I'll pay the money.
You will?
Well, your dignity is at stake.
I'd say that's worth half a million dollars.
Oh, thank God.
You have no idea how much damage this could have caused the magazine, Marissa, me.
I'll call my financial advisor.
You should go back to work.
Right, because I have a magazine to launch.
Cal...
thank you.
How can Zach act so normal around me?
And here we are again.
No, I mean I ditched him at the airport.
It's not what you call letting him down easy I'm not certain on this, but I thought you and I were dating.
I know.
I just didn't expect him to get over me so fast.
Yeah, well, Zach's resilient.
I mean, under all that floppy hair and goofy smile, there's like a layer of steel.
You talked to him today, right?
Well, did he say anything?
Any footnotes to the whole "I Love Italy" story?
No.
I mean, I...
Spill it, Cohen.
He made me promise to keep it a secret.
Have you ever kept one in your life?
He has a girlfriend.
Already?
He's only been back like one day.
He met her in Italy.
Her name's Francesca.
And she's tall and beautiful and he's way into her, okay?
Great.
I say we get burgers and two vanilla milkshakes and fries.
She's tall?
$200 for this watch?
You believe that?
I know.
These stores are kind of pricey.
Yeah, bet you've got a closet full of this stuff, huh?
Shirts with alligators, top siders, the whole deal?
Maybe we should go.
You know, you're not going to find anything you need here.
What are you kidding?
I've got cash to spend.
I'm not going anywhere.
Hey, I found you.
Hey, Marissa.
Trey.
We've met before.
Marissa Cooper.
Oh, yeah.
You're Ry's girlfriend.
Oh, well, no, well, not anymore.
We're just friends.
Not just friends, but...
friends.
Right?
Right.
I heard Ryan was taking you shopping, so I figured you probably need some help.
Here, why don't you try this, and I'll grab you some more stuff.
Seth said you might need some backup.
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Wow, look at this.
Yeah, this has you written all over it.
Yeah, that looks really adorable on you.
'cause you're so cute.
Really, I thought ugly hats were your thing It looks really good on you.
Honestly, you should look at you...
So, to my utter shock, he agreed to pay in full.
Crisis averted.
I guess my dad's softening in his old age.
That or he has a porn tape buried in his past, too.
Speaking metaphorically, of course.
Hello, Kiki?
I'm talking about erotica.
I'm sorry.
What were you saying?
You like Carter.
Excuse me?
You have a thing for Carter.
Kirsten Cohen crushes Carter.
That's ridiculous.
Here I have been so preoccupied with my own sex scandal, I hadn't noticed yours.
That's enough.
Sandy's off in strange motels with that fugitive ex-girlfriend of his, so you decide to turn up the heat at the office?
Stop it.
I do not have feelings for...
Sandy!
Surprise.
Julie and I were just going over some magazine stuff.
Launch fever.
Well, I'll let you two talk.
So, what's up?
I invited Trey to stay with us for a few days.
Okay, sounds good.
Sounds good?
I thought you were going to have a five-alarm freak-out.
Well, I trust you.
I mean, you were right about Ryan, after all.
I- I'll see you tonight.
Hey, wait, now where's this famous Carter Buckley?
I'd love to meet him.
Oh, uh, toni...
it's-it's not a good time.
He's up, uh...
up to his ears in the launch.
All right, some other time, then.
I'll see you tonight.
Man, am I tired.
That's shopper's fatigue.
Shop enough and you'll become immune.
Trust me.
If anyone should know.
Hmm!
That's funny.
Excuse me?
Can I check your bag?
Why?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I saw you handling that watch before.
I didn't take your damn watch.
We have the right to look through your bag.
Just hand it over.
I see other people with bags here, I don't see you giving them a hard time.
Look, he didn't take anything.
- Just let him check through your bag.
- Hey, man, I'll handle this.
Why don't you get out of my face?
Send someone to the front entrance.
You know what?
Don't bother.
I paid...
for all of this.
If we hadn't gotten Trey out of the store, I swear he would have taken the guy out.
So he's got rage issues.
Like, uh, like Summer, or...?
He's just got a lot of pride, you know?
And a short fuse.
When something sets him off, it's like he can't control himself.
Well, it's comforting to have him staying here.
Have you told my parents?
No, I can't.
I know I should, but...
Hey, Ryan.
I finally met your brother.
He seems to be adjusting well.
Yeah, smooth sailing.
Here's one.
A barista at a local coffee joint Barista?
Oh, that's a fancy word for a guy who makes coffee.
That I can do.
We were just checking out the classifieds.
Job hunt begins today.
Feel like coming with me?
I'll pass, thanks.
Seth, why don't you come out and clear the patio furniture with me for the party?
I believe, son, that's code for "Let's get out of here. "
If I help clear it, can I skip it?
Again, I'm sorry about yesterday.
I just didn't like the way the guy was looking at me.
So you trashed the store.
My old ways aren't gonna work here.
I need to change.
Do it soon.
Zach.
Hey.
Uh...
I brought over some of your stuff.
Things you left at my house.
Post-breakup stuff exchange.
I won this for you at the Kick-off Carnival.
It was a gift.
And I'll always remember how you owned that Whack-a-Mole.
I don't feel like it's a good idea to have reminders of you lying around.
Look, I get that you moved on, but do you have to, like, totally erase me?
What do you mean, "moved on"?
Cohen.
He let it slip, okay?
I just, I didn't want you to know, in case it hurt your feelings.
Why would it hurt my feelings?
Just because 20 minutes after we broke up you're scootering around Italy with some six-foot-two Euro-chick?
Hey, you left me.
I know.
I know that, but...
The entire cast of The Valley are guest VJ's on Music Video Nation and I kind of have to see that.
So I will drop off your stuff soon.
Summer, wait!
Arrivederci.
Well, how do you like this?
Caleb Nichol showing up at my lowly hotel room.
Let's get this over with.
Thank you.
Video's right here.
It's all yours if the money's in that case.
$500,000.
As requested.
I'm assured this is the only copy?
This is it.
So how's it feel?
Get a little glimpse into your wife's past.
I didn't get where I am today by being a fool I knew what I was getting into when I married Julie Cooper.
So you expect me to believe that she told you about this?
Because Julie keeps her past pretty tight to the vest.
I have some very thorough and talented P.I.'s on my staff.
I venture to say there's nothing Julie's ever done that I don't know about.
Allow me.
Oh, what the hell is this?
These are some friends of mine looking forward to getting to know you.
You son of a bitch.
That's your cue to hand me the briefcase.
Lance?
Pleasure doing business with you.
Thanks for the tape.
I'd like those flowers delivered by 5:00.
Thank you.
Hey, what do you think?
For tonight?
I wanted Donatella Versace meets Martha Stewart before the scandal.
Oh, don't look now.
Boyfriend, 2:00.
Hey!
Brought you something.
Pinot noir.
Russian River Valley.
Hi.
Hey.
The one you said you loved.
Thank you, Carter.
How thoughtful.
I thought we'd, pop the top, have a few glasses before the madness begins.
We have a lot riding on this presentation.
I think it would be unprofessional to drink wine beforehand.
Are you kidding?
We average a bottle a night around here.
You can celebrate at the party tonight.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
Completely focused and totally sober. "
Kirsten and Carter Sitting in a tree... "
I'm just kidding.
Unless...
I'm not.
Julie: "K-I-S-S-I-N-G".
Oh...
Summer.
I thought we'd seen the last of you.
Is Zach home?
He's at water polo practice.
He'll be home in a few minutes.
Can I leave this stuff with you?
He left it at my house when we were dating So it's really over between the two of you?
Mrs.
Stevens, I am so sorry about what happened at the airport.
You should be.
But at least something good came out of it, right?
I mean, Zach met Francesca.
Who?
You know, six-foot-two, Italian supermodel.
Zach's new girlfriend?
And when would this have happened?
While he was sulking over you?
He never left the hotel room, Summer.
How'd the job hunt go today?
Not so good.
Tried five or six places...
They all turned me down on the spot.
Sucks.
You hungry?
Grab a bite?
Catch up?
Yeah.
That'd be great.
Cool.
We should head by the pier.
You'll like it.
They got, you know, boats and stuff.
After you clean this place up.
Geez, man.
You do have closets, you know.
Look who's funny...
This is the watch from that store.
- Yeah, I went back today and bought it.
- Don't lie to me.
I'm not.
You're never gonna change.
This family is taking a chance on you.
You know what?
It makes no difference what I tell you, 'cause you're only going to believe the worst about me, no matter what I do.
Can you blame me?
Guess I don't.
So why don't I do us both a favor and just take off?
Fine!
Oh, and I bought it as a gift for you.
To thank you for helping me out, and, before you go calling the cops on me...
here's the receipt.
Well, the party's starting soon.
Are you hiding out in here?
Yeah, good guess.
Where's Trey?
I see.
We knew it was gonna be bumpy.
This is harder than I thought it'd be.
Is there anything I can do?
Can I borrow the car?
Be careful.
Zach.
Hey!
I realize I forgot to give you your sweatshirt back.
You know, and I was going to.
I know you talked to my mom today.
Brief conversation...
Brief.
And I know she told you about Francesca, or, lack thereof.
You don't need to explain.
No, I do.
When I came home, I knew that I was going to see you and Cohen, and I didn't want things to be tense between us, and I figured the only way to do that was if I was with someone, too.
Zach, I'm sorry.
And you told Cohen because...
you knew that it would get back to me.
Within minutes.
God, that is so typical of Cohen.
I mean, he knew that it would make me jealous.
Summer, remember, she's a fake.
Yeah, but still.
Cohen could not wait to tell me about your smoking new girlfriend.
This is between you and Cohen.
Which has nothing to do with me.
Finally.
I am so sorry that I made a mess of everything.
As for Francesca, unlike some loudmouth geeks, I can keep a secret.
Hey, Ryan, where you going?
To get Trey.
He took off.
Well, I'll go with you.
Remember what happened last time you came to Chino?
Yeah, I saved your ass.
Come on.
Do you realize that in a couple of days your face will be on every coffee table in this town?
Well, frankly, I'm surprised we even got it off the ground.
Well, I'm not surprised at all.
Hi, Dad.
I know this magazine is going to be an enormous success.
Absolutely.
I take it everything went smoothly?
Everything's taken care of, JuJu.
Hey!
You made it.
I was starting to get worried.
Thank you.
Well, I came for Newport Living.
I do live in Newport.
Oh, is that what this party's for?
I didn't What's the deal?
Is it something I said?
Something you weren't supposed to say?
Right.
I guess I did something wrong, so I should probably just apologize.
Yeah, if you mean it.
It's kind of hard to mean it if I don't know what it is.
It's kind of hard to forgive you if you don't mean it, 'cause you don't know what you're supposed to be apologizing for.
I'm going to wait in your room for 20 minutes.
If you can't figure it out by then, I'm gone.
Hello, everybody.
Julie, congratulations Thank you.
May I speak with you for a moment?
Sure.
What is it?
Have I said something to you?
Have I done something wrong?
'Cause all day you have seemed angry at me Look, whatever it is, I hope you can talk to me about it, because we are liable to be working together for a long time, so I don't want to...
On second thought, let's just focus on the presentation.
I hope it goes without a hitch.
Excuse me, is that chardonnay?
Yes, ma'am, it is.
- Thank you.
We used to hang out at this place all the time.
I'll be back in a second.
What the hell are you doing here, man?
I came to find you.
I'm not looking to be found.
Trey, listen...
Beat it, little brother.
I just want to talk to you, all right?
Why, man?
You're in your pool house, and and I'm here.
I'm sorry, all right?
Why are we kidding ourselves here, Ry?
You knew it couldn't work.
We are who we are.
I'm not going back to Newport without you.
Fine.
Stay here.
See how well you fit in after being away two years.
I'm going to go out for some air.
Okay, I thought about it.
I thought about why you're angry.
And?
I have nothing.
I do not know what I did wrong.
Summer, but listen, I'm totally willing to apologize, extremely, sincerely.
Why did you tell me about Francesca?
because you begged me to.
That is not why, Cohen.
I have begged you to do plenty of stuff.
Like give up comic books, stop mumbling, and you don't do any of that.
Are you actually angry with me for being jealous of you being jealous of Zach?
No.
You were jealous?
Gee, why would that be, Summer?
Hearing you go on and on about Zach's new woman.
Because you told me about her.
Yeah, I did.
I saw the high road there and I just did not take it on that one.
You want to know why?
I was a little bit worried.
Here we have this big great kiss in the rain upside down, and I don't know, I thought, maybe what if after that, everything was a letdown for you?
You had buyer's remorse or something?
Cohen...
You are so neurotic.
Exactly.
Unlike Zach, who's anxiety-free with his big smile and natural athleticism.
That guy makes me feel very Jewish.
Look, I know Zach looks great on paper: the son of a congressman, sweet, selfless, and even, well, boring.
Yeah, he's a touch bland.
Yeah...
And you, with all your little flaws and your little quirks, somehow you keep drawing me back in.
Yeah?
So what you're saying to me is then, that the more neurotic and insecure I am, the more you're attracted to me?
Hmm?
Well, then, do I look fat in these pants?
Hello, everyone.
I'm Carter Buckley, managing editor.
And on behalf of everyone at Newport Living, I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight.
Now I would like to introduce the woman who has made all of this possible...
Julie Cooper Nichol.
Thank you, Carter.
I can't believe this night is finally here.
Well, what is Newport Living?
Wow, so that's Carter Buckley?
You haven't met him yet?
No, he's been more of a phantom presence I thought he'd look more like Jerry Garcia.
Who?
But if you really want to know what Newport Living is all about, take a look at this. "
If I'd never had sex before... "
"why do I feel so horny?"
"You're turning me on. "
Dear God.
Oh, my God.
Julie, give me the remote. "
Come over here, pizza boy. "
Oh, you son of a...
- Sorry about that, everyone.
- Julie, let's get you out of here.
technical difficulties.
Please, everyone, help themselves to a drink...
or two.
Lord knows...
I'm going to.
Don't worry, Ju-Ju.
It'll all blow over.
I don't understand.
I mean, you gave him his damn money.
It just goes to show, it doesn't pay to give in to these people.
You meet their every demand, and they ruin you, anyway.
Well, "ruin's" the wrong word.
You can go on with your life, Cal, but I am never leaving this room.
My Howard Hughes phase starts now.
We could go to Europe.
Paris, Vienna, anywhere you like.
By the time we get back, something else will have exploded to make this whole thing look silly.
I guess you can always count on this town for a new scandal.
Paris?
Carter?
Sandy Cohen.
You throw a hell of a party.
Sandy, it's great to finally meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm so sorry I haven't introduced you two.
Oh, no problem.
You sound like you have a wonderful family I do.
Thank you.
Including my mother-in-law, the porn star.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I think it kind of livened things up.
Yeah, well, here's hoping everyone was drunk enough they black out and don't remember anything tomorrow.
Here's hoping.
Can I get you two anything?
Oh, no thanks, I'm fine.
Listen...
about before, I have to apologize.
You do?
Yeah, you know, we have been working together for a few weeks now, and I just want you to know that if there has been a...
tension between us...
I don't know what you're talking about.
If there's been a...
vibe, between us...
...it's me, okay?
And I'm sorry.
Carter...
Let's just leave it at that, all right?
Ryan, I don't think he's coming back.
You're right.
Let's go.
Hey, you feel like playing some pool?
No, thanks.
All right, then let me buy you a drink.
Hey, I don't think She wants anything.
Was I talking to you?
Know what?
We should get out of here.
What?
I just want to buy you a drink.
Why you being rude?
I don't want anything to drink.
Hey, leave her alone, all right?
Listen, rich boy, I ain't buying the act, all right?
Let's get out of here.
Let go of her.
Come on.
You want some more?
Stop it, please!
Can I help you?
Tell your friends to let go of my brother!
Let him go.
Yeah, come on.
Let's go.
Wow, kid!
I haven't done that in a while.
Looked good.
Thanks for coming back for us.
Yeah?
Well, I was gonna say the same thing to you guys.
You want a ride?
Yeah, sure.
Well, where are we dropping you?
Just come home with us, man.
I thought you didn't want me over there.
eah, well, people change.
All right.
But I get to drive.
Oh, no, no.
I've seen you drive.
You're in the back seat.
Can't touch this, you can't touch this!
I'll drive.
Hey!
You guys were gone a while.
Everything okay?
Fine.
- Yeah, nothing to report.
- How was the party?
Good.
Uneventful.
Hey, guys.
Great party, okay?
Well, if you're hungry, we got leftovers.
Dad.
We're all having a family dinner.
You know, how about that?
Look at that.
Now this is not so painful.
I got to tell you, seems pretty great.
Yeah, wait till the novelty wears off, right, Ryan?
You know what?
It still works for me.
That's very...
