All language subtitles for The O.C. (2005) - S03E07 - The Anger Management_track3_[eng]

Previously onThe O.C....

Are you sure about
this Julie Cooper?

She's got all
the right connections

and nothing left to lose.

We want to throw
a charity event.

Sounds like a wonderful cause.

You were just going to scam me
into throwing a fake charity

and leave me
to pick up the pieces.What if you help me?

Listen, do you mind if I
join you for some pizza?

Taylor, it's Summer.
Open up!

I can't hear you.

I've been dodging this business
for the last 20 years.

Hang on to the company.
I'll help you.

This is Volcheck?

Johnny?

Stay away from him.

SUMMER:
Look, I'm sorry.
That movie sucked.

SETH:
Master of
the Flying Guillotine?

It's a classic of the genre.

It's like the Madame Bovary
of martial arts cinema.

Wait, the flying guillotine.

Was that the spiky hat
thing he threw?

Yeah. Dude, I'm sorry,
but that was kind of weak. Et tu,Ryan?

It didn't even make sense.

Why was he going after
the one-armed boxer?

Poor guy.
Uh, revenge.
It's a tale as old as time.

Maybe the girls should
pick the movie next time.

What do you say?

Yes.Do I have to remind you

about the Bring It Onphase?

Now that
is an awesome movie.

GIRLS:
♪ I'm sexy, I'm cute

♪ I'm popular to boot

♪ I said I'm bitchin',
great hair ♪

♪ So the boys all love
to stare... ♪

Dude, what'd I say?

Ten to one our boys hang out

at the candy-ass diner
on the pier.

That's want I love
about you rich kids.

So predictable.What do you want?

I got to spell it out for ya?

I want a rematch.

Somewhere private.

Just me kicking your ass.

I'm not looking for trouble.

Maybe you should've
thought of that

before jumping me
the other night.

What, like you didn't start it

by hooking up with
someone else's girlfriend?

Good point.

Or that's unnecessary
continuity.

Either or.

Look, guys,
this is so stupid.

I got nothing
against you.

Ah, that's too bad.

'Cause me and you,
we got unfinished business.

See ya, guys.

♪ California...

Hey, baby.

I need your opinion.

Which of these scream
"real estate mogul
with a heart of gold"?

The blue.

And "sensitive,

"street smart man

of talent and mystery"?

The blue.

All right. Blue it is.

Sandy, you're
going to do great.

The Newport Group's
lucky to have you.

Oh, I just want to make a good
impression on my first day.

Hey, how's that charity thing
coming?

Oh, it's coming.

I've just never
thrown together
something so quickly.

I hope Julie and Charlotte
aren't out getting mystics

while you're doing all the work.

Don't worry.
They're working.

They're busy with
the foundation.

Oh, good question.

Booze or no booze?

Oh, tough call.

A fund-raiser for poor women
with substance abuse problems.

I know, it's going to be weird
if people are drinking.

Yeah, then again, people
are a lot more generous

when they've got a couple
of shots under their belt.

Booze.

Morning.

Oh, hey, boys.

On Sunday, I would love
some help with the party.

Sunday?

Sunday, yeah, it's
going to be tough.

It's going
to be tough.

Yeah, no problem.

Thanks, Ryan.

Well, I should get going.

I have to meet Charlotte
and Julie at the club.

Hey, what is so incredibly
pressing on a Sunday?

Oh, it's the Sabbath, Dad.

It's a day of rest, you know?

I don't make the rules.

Talk to the Big Guy.

I thought the Sabbath
was Saturday?

Listen to me.

This is the first public thing

your mother has done
since rehab.

So we are going to do everything
in our power

to make it a success,
understood?

Mom, listen, Sunday,
I'm going to be there, okay?

Provided I don't get struck
down by lightning bolts.

Thanks, Seth. That means a lot.

Such generosity.

Oh, there goes the back.

No, I'll be all right.

I'll be fine.
I can probably lift stuff.

I just feel responsible.

I mean, if I hadn't
introduced Ryan to Johnny

in the first place, then
he never would have gotten
in a fight with that jerk.

Well, if you want to blame
someone why not Casey
for hooking up

with the surf nazi
to begin with.

I know. I still can't
believe she did that.

Um... she had a reason.

Summer.

I'm sorry.

Have you asked him yet?

Right, I'll just say,
"Hey, Johnny.

Casey thinks
you're in love with me."

And then, best case scenario,
he says no.

And our relationship is totally
weird if not ruined.

Hmm.

What if he is?

Then our friendship is totally
weird if not ruined.

He hasn't done anything
to make me think that.

So, excuse me for not believing
his psycho girlfriend.

Hmm. Ex-girlfriend.

Yeah, he's single now, remember?

I'll see you later.
Mm-hmm.

Dude, all I'm saying is you just
got back into Harvard, okay?

You do not want to go back to
the wasteland of home-schooling.

And I told you,
I'm not going to fight him.

Yeah, I hear you
and I want to believe you.

But I also know Kid Chino.

Sometimes when his back's
up against the wall

and his fists of fury...

Yeah, Kid Chino is retired.
He hung up the hoodie.

So just relax, all right?

Seth.

Hey, Taylor.
How's it going?

It's going great.

I cannot tell you how many
people have come up and told me

how awesome they thought
lock-in was.

You know what, every single one
mentions Capture the Flag.

Did you know
he was All Camp Takahoe.

He might've
mentioned it.

Told you it'd be fun.

It was. It was.

And it was all because
of you, too.

He took the lead
in everything.

I mean with the trust falls
and the s'more making

and share time.

Your story
about Captain Oats.

Ah, yeah, we had
to tell a story

about our best friend
growing up.

And it was so insensitive
of those guys to laugh, too.

'Cause your story wasn't nearly
as lame as Derrick Simmons

befriending
the deaf kid.

But Seth, I wanted to ask you,
um, what do you think about

planning the Christmas dance
together?

The Christmas dance?
You and me?

We made such a good team.

Oh, wow, yeah.

Well, that...
you should talk to Summer.

Your girlfriend?

Mm-hmm.

Summer?

Yeah, because did like a
fantastic job at the last one.

And I just think that
you guys would, would...

There she is
right over there.

You can talk to her
about it yourself.

Okay, forget it.
I got to go.

Ooh, boy,
you're in trouble.

What? What do you mean?You're in trouble.

That? I mean,
I was nice to her.

So that's what that's about.

You keep telling
yourself that, yeah.

Hey.

What were you doing
talking to her?

Did you forget that she didn't
let me into the lock-in?

I totally bruised my hand
pounding on that door.

She probably didn't
know it was you.

No, she knew it was me.

She just didn't want
to let me in.

I wonder why.

What... what's that
supposed to mean?

We should take out
half these tables

so we can have more flow.

We should also talk to them
about the music.

The last event I did here, they
had us on a Kenny G loop.

Can I just tell you
how excited I am?

This is going to be
so wonderful.

I'm so glad you suggested it.

Oh, there's
a manager.

I'm going to find out
what time

we can be here on Sunday
and set up.

So, where are we?

130 RSVPs at
$5,000 a head.

That's over $600,000.

$300,000 apiece.

Mm-hmm.

Tell me again I have
to do this.

Julie, you have two daughters,
no husband and no money.

You're about to get $300,000.

Oh, yeah.

I'm totally doing this.

He says we can

be here at 8:00.

Ryan. Hi.

Going this way?

Yeah.

So, you're like Seth's
best friend, right?

Don't tell Captain Oats.

That's funny.

I didn't know that
you were funny.

So, Seth and Summer
seem happy.

I mean, I know they had that
trouble last year,

but, um, they seem stable.

Wouldn't you say that
they're stable?

Uh...

Of course, though, I mean,
look at Brad and Jen.

Everybody thought that
they were stable.

But nobody knew how
unhappy Brad was.

That he was just waiting for
Angelina to come rescue him.

They're stable.

How stable? One to ten.

Uh, excuse me?

On a scale of one to ten.

Right?How stable are they?

Six? 6.5?

Ten.

Ten, uh-huh.

Sucks for Angelina.

Then again...

things happen, don't they?

[ chuckles]

I bet Brad and Jen
used to be a ten.

Hmm.

Bye.

I wanted to welcome
you all on our first day.

Matt, have you had
a chance to meet everyone?Not yet.

Matt Ramsey.

I wanted to go over
what's changed.

The Newport Group
will still develop

residential and
commercial properties.

With this alteration--

one quarter of our new
housing projects

will be low income.

We are not just catering
to the mansion crowd anymore.

Although we do need their
money to stay in business.

And the other thing
that's changed is us.

Matt will be a Vice President
and Director of Development,

which will leave me
as President and CEO.

And despite the fact
that I've watched

my lovely wife do this job

for the past 15 years,
I'm new at this.

And I'm going to need your help.

Well, stop milling around
and get back to work.

Thank you everybody.

Nice speech.

That's nothing.

Catch me with a microphone
in my hand.

You should try to meet everyone.

They'd appreciate it.

Oh, yeah.

Hi. Matt Ramsey.
Good to meet you.

You're fired.

So I take it your meeting
with the accountant yesterday

didn't go so well.

The word "unsustainable"
was used a lot.

We have to lose
nine people.

Nine?

That's a little extreme.

Well, you have to look
at the numbers.

For now,
we sit tight.

We're here one day.

The first order of business

is not going to be firing
half the staff.

Well, you're the boss.

I have a meeting about
the zoning on Crestmont.

Let me know what
you come up with.

I'm only telling you so you can
be on the lookout, okay?

'Cause this guy is crazy.

Gotcha. I'll be on
Amber alert.

Oh, and don't tell Johnny.
He might do something stupid.

Hey, say no more.
It'll be our little secret.Okay.

And if maybe sharing
that secret

maybe brings us closer together,

creates a bond,
we'll roll with that, too.

Uh-huh.
Just don't tell Johnny, okay?

Tell me what?Johnny.

Hey! How are ya?

I'm good. Tell me what?

Um, no offense, man.

This is kind of just
between me and Marissa.

The cold check is in.
What are you doing?

Nothing!

Chili?

Come on, man, you guys are
tearing me apart here.

Okay, look, he tried
to get Ryan to fight him.

But nothing happened so...

Ugh, hold these.

Johnny, wait.

Johnny.

Look, this isn't
Ryan's fight.

So what are you gonna do?

Go knock on this guy's door
and say "Hey, fight me" instead?

I'm not gonna
sit back and let
your boyfriend

take the heat
for my problem.

I'm not letting either
of you guys get in a fight.

Marissa, that's
not the point.

What is it with you two?

I'm so sick of this.

Ryan has nothing
to do with this.

You know what? It's fine.

Whatever. Just do
whatever you want.
Hey!

Okay. I won't fight him.

Seriously?

Fighting a guy's one thing.

When it comes to
upsetting a lady,

I'm a total coward.

You win.

[ school bell rings ]

Look, we'd better get to class.

SETH:
I'm serious.
Do you have any idea

what Summer will do
if she finds out?

RYAN:
Yeah, I can imagine.

I have to tell Taylor
it's not gonna happen.

Even if I didn't
love Summer,

her and I were
totally incompatible,

seeing as how she's
crazy and I'm not.

Well, I thought you said
she wasn't that bad.

Taylor Townsend?
Yeah.

In fourth grade
she campaigned against

making the school
handicapped accessible.

She said it was
reverse Darwinism.

Besides, who...

who wants Dean
Hess's seconds?

Oh, look.
A picnic
on our car.

Hmm, it's you guys.

Finally.

[ sighs ]

Seth, get security.

Yeah, well, maybe we'll go
get them together.

Mm, security?

We're just talking.

I mean, nothing's gonna hap...

Oh...
It's all right.

It's just a little
soap and...

I'm not gonna fight you.

Did you hear that?

Rich boy doesn't want
to get his hands dirty.

Is your butler around?

Maybe he'll fight me.

I got it.

We're all strangers.

Okay, so let's take a step back
for a second.

I'm Seth. I like comic books.

You obviously like, uh,
flaming heart tattoos.

I think you do
got it in you.

In fact, I think you're just
itching to throw down.

I just gotta find the key.

Uh, uh,

oh, look what I found.

[ keys jangling ]

You know what I just
realized, though?

She doesn't have a name.

I'm gonna call her Little Bitch.

Excuse me.

Just keep walking.

This ain't over.

Hi.

Hey.

We having breakfast
this morning?

So, Summer told me what happened
yesterday with your truck.

Ah, yes.

Seth kept a secret
a whole 12 hours.

Must be a record.

Yeah, you know, it's...

I didn't want to worry you.

Well, I'm proud of you
for not fighting.

I know it must
have been hard.

Yeah, you have no idea.

That guy's a total jackass.

What are you doing?

What are all
these tools?

You want to see?
Come on.

Just don't overreact.

MARISSA:
A punching bag.

Yeah, Sandy had it
in the garage.

Said I could use it.

So you could train to fight him?

No, I'm not gonna fight him.
I didn't yesterday, remember?

Then what's it for?

Therapy.

Okay.

I just don't want
any more fighting.

Johnny wanted to go
after Volcheck again.

How's he doing?

You mean about Casey?

Well, she really hurt him.

Well, Seth's going to
the Bait Shop tonight.

Why don't you invite Johnny?

Take his mind off things.

Sure.

Now what about breakfast?

Definitely.
Definitely.

I'll meet you inside.
I gotta clean up.

Okay.All right.

KIRSTEN:
You can't deliver at 4:00.

By the time the guests arrive,
they'll be pudding.

And I can't have pudding.

Six will be fine.

Thank you.

Ah, sweet charity.

I am hereby calling the next
three hours Kirsten time.

I am going to the gym,

I am getting my nails done
and everything else can wait.

Good for you.

You left early this morning?

Mmm.

Yeah. You know, nothing
like a little dawn patrol

to clear your head.

Is everything okay?

I was so busy yesterday,

I forgot to ask
how your first day went.

Oh, it's good. It's good.

It's uh, you know, just a...
just a lot.

Well, you can always come
to me with questions.Thanks.

You go have your Kirsten time.

[ knock at door]

Come in.

Hi Seth.

Taylor, hey.

What are, what are
you doing here?

Oh, your Mom let me in.

She seems really, really nice.

Wow, your room is really cute.

Look, can we talk?

Yeah, okay, but before
you say anything...

I like you.
Ah, boy.

I know.

It totally surprised me, too,

because I don't usually
go for the R. Crumb type,

but the heart
has its own magic.

Um... um... yeah.

Well, I'm with
Summer, though, so--

I heard you were breaking up.

What? Who said that?

I made it up.

But what did you feel
when you heard it?

Relief?

No.

Listen, Taylor, even
if I was single, uh...

I'm not so sure that
you and I would make
a great match. I mean...

Is that a Yakuza Prep poster?

Yeah, it's just this
Japanese film about
these prep school kids...

Yeah, yeah. It's like
my favorite movie of all time!

I think Kenji Yamamoto
was a genius.

Really?
Yes!

Have you seen his samurai

assassination
series? Battles on the Edge of Hell?

I own the criterion collection.

Oh, my God. You
like comic books?

Comics are geek wacky material.

But, look, Seth.

I mean it's obvious
that we are soul mates.

All you have to do
is break up with Summer.

Right, well, I'm not gonna
be able to do that, so...

I see.

[ cell phone rings]

Excuse me.

[ ringing continues]

Hello?

Hey, what time do we have
to be there tonight?

Yeah, I think we should be
at the Bait Shop by, like, 8:00.

I'll see you later, Seth.

Who was that?

That sounded like a girl.

Did it? But yeah.

Well, sure.

Because I'm listening
to the radio

and This American Lifeis on

and so, it was a girl talking.

Oh, is that that show
by those hipster know-it-alls

who talk about how fascinating
ordinary people are?

Ugh, God!

Uh-huh, yeah.

[ over phone]:
Hello?

Did you get the tickets?

Yep, San Juan, Puerto Rico,

where your ill-gotten
dollar goes farther.

How's your roomie holding up?

Well, she still thinks

she's getting half the money
and a free condo.

Wow. You almost
feel bad for her.

Yeah, almost.

I'll see you tomorrow night.

I just don't think
we should sign.

Hey, what's
the problem?

Oh, they want us to sign
a liability agreement.

But then you'd
be responsible.

I'm happy to do it.
What could happen?

Exactly.

There, it's done.

I'm gonna give this
to a manager.

It's as if somebody steps a toe.

It doesn't mean anything.

I know. I'm just... nervous.

Look, as soon as I skip town,
everybody is gonna blame me.

You're gonna be fine.

What about Kirsten?

Well, she's gonna be very hurt.

And she's gonna need
her best friend.

Right.

[ knocking]

You wanted
to see me?
Yeah.

I spent the morning
with our accountant

going over the numbers
and you're right.

In order for this company
to be as strong as possible,

we have to lose nine people.

For once, I wish I was wrong.

But I'm still not doing it.

I came up with a plan.

We restructure our loans,

eliminate the perks,

cut my salary by 30 percent.

We let four people go,

it'll get us by.

But this-this
leaves us no margin.

If one deal
goes down...

Then we go down.

But as long as I'm
running this company,

that's how we're gonna do it.

Okay?

We, uh, we thought

to see the band.

Well, so you
weren't worried

I'd be home alone
all weekend thinking
about Casey?

No.
That's crazy.

No. No, but seriously
what are you doing tomorrow

because my mom's
having a fun d-raising.

Yeah, if you want, Seth
and I could use your help.

Yeah, well, they're
counting on Seth.

They definitely
need your help.

Is Summer here?

Okay, look, I love Summer.

I always have.

Now, while you and I
may share an appreciation

for ultra-violent
ancient cinema,

there's no way...What's going on?

Tell me you just heard
what I was saying.

Hi, Summer.
You look really cute.

I know. But more
importantly,

why are you always
talking to my boyfriend?

She likes Yakuza...
Never mind.

Well, maybe I should
just get going.

Oh, oh, um, I almost forgot.

Here.

Thanks for letting me
borrow him.

It really means a lot
to me that you trust me.

Bye.

You let her
borrow Captain Oats?!

I didn't let her
borrow anything.

She must have taken it
from me when she was in my room.

When was she
in your room?!

That was her
when I was on the phone?

Something happened
at the lock-in.

Or what?

You're not going
to fight me, I know that.

But she might shoot you.
She has before.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, Kirsten's already
over at the yacht club.

Once you and Mr. Sabbath
have breakfast,

we should head over
there and start setting up.

Great. Can I talk to you
about something?

Any time.

There's this guy,

and he's gotten it
in his head

that he's going to fight me.

Does this have anything
to do with the fact

that my car is now
the "Little Bitch"?

Maybe.
I was going to fix that.

Forget about it.

That there's enough
to go to the cops.

Yeah.

Do you want me
to talk to him?

No. No offense, but I don't see
this guy getting scared.

You know you can't get
into another fight.

No, I know. And I've been trying
to walk away.

You're using your brains
instead of your fists, good.

I mean, how does it
help me with this guy?

You got to keep
walking away,

'cause whatever's making
him angry, it isn't you.

[ phone rings]

Oh, hang on
just a minute.

Hey, Mark.
It's a little early
on a Sunday morning.

Today?

No, you don't do anything
till I get there.

All right.

You and Seth are going
to have to go

to the club without me.
I'll catch up later.

I'll have my phone
if you need me.

I can't believe
you dragged me out
of bed for this.

This is the worst
idea ever.

There's no other way.

Okay, but seriously,
you don't know Volchek.

Last year, some guy
snaked his wave,

so he went up
on the pier

and dropped
a kitchen sink on him.

Where do you even get
a kitchen sink?

Yeah, well, if you're
so concerned,

why don't you stay
in the car?

I'm just saying

maybe we could bring
some muscle

besides the muscle
that I already provided.

Yo, yo, yo,
check it out.

Oh, hey,
look who's here.

Now, don't shoot.

[ chuckles]

Hey, dork.

Hey.

Look, I want you
to leave Ryan alone.

Oh, so it's bribes now?

Well, I got a watch,
K-Mart, $15.99.

Well, this is Cartier,

and I got it
for my 16th birthday.

It's worth, like
four grand.

Damn, you must really
think I might hurt him.

Do we have a deal?

Sure. I'll leave
your little boy alone.

All right.

If I see you around again,

I'm going to tell the cops
you stole that.

You do that.

KIRSTEN:
Don't put them in
direct sunlight

because when
the water starts
to heat up,

then the flowers,
they, they wilt.

Do you, do you think
there's too much red?

Hey, Kirsten.

Oh, hey.

What's up?

Just giving final
instruction.

Oh, I know I'm going
a little crazy,

but I just want
everything to be perfect.

It will be, won't it?

Yeah, of course.
It'll be fantastic.

Thanks, Julie.

I am so glad
we're doing this together.

Me, too.

What the hell
are you doing?

Let me explain.

Forget going
behind my back.

You called people in
on a Sunday to fire them.

Is that what they teach you
in business school

so you don't lose time
during the week?

Listen, I just thought
it'd be better now

than on Monday
when they have to face

the humiliation of packing up
in front of their co-workers.

And I didn't go
behind your back.

Really?

Because as much
as I appreciate
the heads-up phone call

that you're about
to fire four of our employees,

I don't recall
every agreeing to this.

We agreed we had
to let them go.

I just thought that
if I did it myself,

I would spare you
the pain, that's all.

For the record,

I don't let people
do my dirty work for me.

Where are they?

They're in your office.

Sandy...

It's all right, Matt.

Now go home.
It's Sunday.

Listen to me.
Nothing happened at the lock-in.

Uh-huh, and yet you still
felt the need

to lie about her
being in your room?

Because I knew
how you'd react.

Not that it's your fault.
I'm saying it's my fault.

It's definitely
my fault.

You know what
is my fault?

What?
That!

Ow!

Listen, man,
I'm really sorry

about this whole
Volchek thing.

Ah, it's not your fault.

Guys like Volchek
are looking for any excuse.

Sounds like you've been
in this situation before.

Ah, it feels
like every week.

Look, if anything goes down,
I'm there.

Well, thanks, but I'm hoping
it doesn't come to that.

Sometimes you don't
have a choice.

Julie, you're not dressed.

We need to leave
in a few minutes.

I don't think I can do this.

You're worried
about Kirsten
getting hurt.

Kirsten, my son.

Even if they
blame you.

I see. Well, what if
they blame you?

What?

What if I call
the police and tell them

how we created
a fake charity

to defraud your friends.

Charlotte, they'd arrest you.

Yeah, they have
to find me first.

Plus, I think you might
be a little easier
to track down.

Could you do jail, Julie?

And if you did,
which one of your former friends

would be there to help you
when you get out?

Now get dressed.

We don't want to be late
for the party.

Do you think
Taylor's pretty?

Summer...

Well, I mean, I know
she's not prettier
than me,

but, like,
objectively speaking.

Objectively speaking,

I think Seth loves you,
and you've got

nothing to worry about.

Go put these
on the table.

He told me
to give you this.

He changed his mind.
He wants cash.

But he can sell that.

Tell him yourself.
He's in the parking lot.

We had a deal.

Pawnshop ain't open.
I need cash now.

I owe a guy
some money.

Well, I don't have $4,000.

Lucky for you all I need
is a couple hundred.

Come on.
You got an ATM card, don't you?

Screw it. Your boyfriend
inside, hmm?

Okay.

Fine, I'll go.

Let's go.

[ engine starts]

The party's
really wonderful, Julie.Yes, it really is.

I am so glad that
you both could come.

But you know what?
You should watch

those ahi rolls, Chuck,
or we'll be treating you
for substance abuse.

Oh, excuse me.
Nice to see you.

Well, you don't miss
a beat.

Oh, well, you know,
just like riding a bike.

Julie, I really want
to thank you.

For what?

Making me do this.

I wasn't sure
that I was ready.

But having your support,
I just wish my dad could see us.

He'd be so proud.

♪ Let me hold you inside
and see... ♪

I thought you said
you'd have friends
here tonight.

They're just not here yet.

I don't want another
evening of you

sitting alone
in the corner

reading The Economist.

It's embarrassing.

They're going
to be here.

Well, excuse me
if I don't hold
my breath.

Taylor!

Sorry I'm late.
Hi. Seth Cohen.

Veronica Townsend.

Nice to meet you.

Taylor, is this the young man

you brought
the present for?

Mom...

Well, give it to him.

She must have wrapped it
and re-wrapped it four times

before we left
the house.

Okay, fine.

Oh, wow, that's,
you know...

Yakuza Demon?

How did you get this?

I thought they only
released it in Japan.

Yeah, my cousin
works for Christie's
in Tokyo

and he sends me DVDs.

I don't know.
I just thought
you would like it.

It's amazing.

Well, I'll just let
you two be alone.

Taylor.

This is like so...

Taylor.

Go away, Seth!

I don't need you
feeling sorry for me.

I don't.

Oh...
Well, why not?

You heard her:
"She's horrible.

"She's always saying
the same things.

"Why don't people
like you, Taylor?

"Why aren't you
popular, Taylor?

Why don't you
have friends, Taylor?"

Well, she doesn't know
what she's talking about.

Yeah, but that's
just it. She does.

I live in this dream world

where I think
that Summer is my friend,

and I think
that you like me.

[ crying]:
And the truth is,
I don't have anybody.

Oh, my God, if the Grinch
had that stupid little dog.

You think Summer's
your friend?

Yes, I know, I'm crazy.

You know what?
I like you.

No, you don't.Yes, I do.

You pity me...

No, I really do.It's different.

I think you're funny.

[ rueful chuckle]

Stop teasing me.

I'm not. Listen to me.
I'm serious.

You got great
taste in movies.

I think you're smart.

I think you're
interesting.

Really?

Yeah. And if you just relaxed a
little bit, I think other people

would see that,
you know?

They'd see that
you're... one
of a kind.

Yeah, but...

I've actually got to head
back in right now, so...

Seth, I...No, no, it's
just because, uh,

I think Summer may
be looking for me.
Oh...

And you know, if she was
to come out here and
see us talking...

[ laughing]So, uh... we're
gonna talk at school.

Okay.
Okay.

Okay, good.
Okay.

But I feel really
good about this.

[ sighs]

[ squeals]

It's happening.

[ laughing]

What's up, man?

Hey.

This party's
unbelievable.

Like something
in a movie.

Yeah, I know
the feeling.

You haven't seen
Marissa, have you?

No... but I just got here.

[ sighs]
Why? What's up?

Nothing. Just...[ cell phone rings]

Saw her a little
while ago, but...

Eh, guess who?
Hey, where are you?

Well, right now...
I'm with your girlfriend.

Are you there, little bitch?

Yeah, I'm here.

She's fine.

But she does miss you, so why
don't you come get her?

We're underneath the pier.

♪

Volcheck's got her.

You should call the cops.

Yeah. You call them.
I'm going to finish this.

Hi.

CHARLOTTE:
Kirsten!

I've raised over
$300,000 in pledges.

Oh, that's great.
I think Julie's
doing even better.

Yeah?I wouldn't be surprised
if we hit a million.

Oh, where is she?
I haven't seen
her in a while.

I don't know.

JULIE:
Excuse me.

Uh, excuse me, may I have your
attention over here, please?

I'm Julie Cooper-Nichol.

Its so great to see
all your faces.

And I just want to thank you
so much for coming here.

With your assistance,
we are going to be

able to help a great
many women in need.

Thank you, uh... however,
as you write your checks,

I would ask
that you make them out to

"The National Foundation for
Substance Abuse."

As it so happens,
your generosity

has somewhat overwhelmed our
small organization,

and with the National
Foundation's network,

your money will go a lot
further.

And still be tax-deductible.

[ giggling]

So, thank you very much.

[ applause]

Did you know about this?

No, I...
I'll go talk to her.

Okay.

Julie!

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Oh, could you not hear me?

I always hold the mic
too far away.

I wasn't kidding about
the police, Julie.

Now you get back over there

and you tell everyone
it was a mistake.Call them.

What?

Call the police.

I thought so.

Oh, what? You think you're

back in society now so
you don't need the money?

Wake up, Julie.

These people are never
going to accept you.

You don't have any
friends here.

Wrong.
I have Kirsten.

And I won't do this to her.

[ sighs]
Now... I think
it's time you left.

Don't you?

This town's only
really big enough

for one manipulative bitch.

Take care, sweetie.

Where have you been?

Just because I'm not
talking to you

doesn't mean you're
allowed out of my sight.

No, I was in the parking lot.

You were in
the parking lot?

Why were you
in the parking...

Yakuza?
Were you with Taylor?

She's having an emotional
crisis.

Yeah, well, she's about
to have a physical one.

Summer... she thinks
you're her friend.

What? She is crazy.
I hate her.

I know.
You along with everyone else.

Look, this whole thing started
because the other day,

I was at the Lock-In, and I saw
how awful her mother is.

So you know what?
I was nice to her.

Okay, so that's the problem.
That you were too nice.

Well, she's not used to it.

I think she's
overreacting
a little bit.

She's just really lonely.

Well, she doesn't make it
easy to be nice to.

I know.

[ sighs]

Just don't ever lie to me again.

Okay?
I won't,
I swear.

How badly do you want
to go home right now
and watch that movie?

So bad it may actually kill me.

Come on.

Dude, this is a bad idea.

Last year, Volcheck almost
killed this guy...

I know what I'm doing.

Would you mind telling me
what that is?

I'm going to try and use my
head, for once.

With Volcheck?

Just trust me.

Whatever happens, go with it.

All right.

If that doesn't work?

Grab Marissa and run.

Aw, here comes your boy.

Whoa, whoa, slow down, bro.

You all right?Yeah.
I'm okay.

I said she can go, but
she wanted to stay.

Check it out.
You brought Harper.

You want some when I'm through
with him?

Let's do it now.

Ryan!Whoa, bro!
Come on, now, let's...

let's not get
crazy, man.

You don't want to do this.

Oh, you're giving me advice now?
Come on!

Come on.

Ryan?Stay out of it!

Come on!

Dude... dude...
You don't know

what you're doing.

I've been fighting
guys like you for years.

You want to bash my face in
'cause your life sucks? Fine!

Let's go.

But you want to fight,
you're gonna have to kill me.

So, what's it gonna be?

Come on!All right!

All right.

Let's go, man.

Guy's crazy.

Hey...

Hey.

Have a seat.

So... the event
was a success.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

So... you want to tell
me what's going on?

What do you mean?

Don't shut me out, Sandy.

I fired four people today.

I'm not sure I'm the guy
for this job at all.

I'm glad you're upset.

Good pep talk.

Means you care.

Do you think my father
gave a second thought

to someone he fired?

Exactly.
He was successful.

And his ego almost
destroyed the company.

If I had to choose between you
and my father to run things,

I would choose you every time.

Thank you, baby.

I'm not fragile.

You don't have to protect me.

I forget you are
your father's daughter.

No. I'm yourwife.

Good answer.

That was intense.

Mm-hmm.

You really wanted
to hit him, huh?

No, no...

No, I'm fine.

Well, I didn't hit him,
and I think that's the
most important thing.

[ giggles]:
Yeah, it is.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

Nah, you had plenty of
evidence to back you up.

Yeah, but you've changed.

You're like a totally
different Ryan Atwood.

Was the old one so bad?

No, no, just...

darker.

He scared me sometimes.

Yeah. Me, too.

All right,
I should head home.
Yeah.

I've got school
in the morning.

You and me gonna have to
pull Summer away from
that Yakuzamovie.

Oh, somehow,
I think I'll manage.[ chuckles]

Hey, I'm proud of you.
