All language subtitles for The O.C. (2005) - S03E08 - The Game Plan_track3_[eng]

Previously, onThe O.C.--

I was with Johnny.
He went through something.

Something like
I went through.

Even if Marissa
was accused,

she wouldn't
go to jail.

She also wouldn't
be going to college.

Look, can we talk?Yeah, okay.

But before you say anything...

I like you.
Ah... boy.

Seth, I think it's obvious

that we
are soul mates.

What were you doing
talking to her?

You were just gonna scam me

into throwing
a fake charity and leave me

to pick up the pieces
so you could skip town.

You don't have
any friends here.

Wrong.

I have Kirsten,

and I won't do this to her.

Okay, picture me in college--

ah... big fish in a small pond,
or small fish in a big pond?

I don't know, I never really
pictured you living in a pond.

Me neither. You know,
finding the right college

ought to be
more soulful than this.

Well, you've got to fill it out.

They're due today.

What's due today?

Hey.
Hey.

What's up?
Hey.

"Picking the
Perfect College."

Oh, crap!
I totally spaced that!

Does anyone
have an extra one?

There you go.

Remember, meeting with the
college counselor today.

SUMMER:
That can be
sostressful.

I can't even pick out
my shoes in the morning,

let alone plan
the rest of my life.

SETH:
That's okay,
it's only four years,

and, according
to this brochure,

it's supposed to
be the high point

of an otherwise
miserable existence.

Well, these kids
look pretty happy.

Look, Coop, two girls
looking in a microscope

and smiling--
that could be us.

Mm, yeah, I don't think so.

Coop, are you okay?

SETH:
Of course
she's okay.

She gets
to leave Newport.

We all do.
Think about this.

Pretty soon, we're
going to be living

in real cities
with, like, real,

non-Botox,

non-plastic people.

Cohen, shut up.And weather.

How about, like, a little
weather for a change.

You know what I mean?
I'm not talking about

it's "cloudy with a chance
of drizzle" weather,

I'm talking about "snowstorm,

seal your windows
with duct tape" weather.

That's what
I want.
You know, guys,

it's getting late.
I think I'm just going to go.

You alright?Did I mention

I'd get to wear wool?

I would actually get to

wear a real wool sweater?

RYAN/SUMMER:
Shut up!

Okay.

Coop, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I mean,
this whole college thing,

it's great for you guys.

I'm just not going to
get to be a part of it.

What are you talking about?

Look, I've done the research.

With my background, my history,

I don't have a chance
at getting in.

I'm just...
not going to college.

That's all.

And there's
a different approach.

[ piano and acoustic guitar
strumming gentle melody]

♪ California, here we come ♪

♪ Right back
where we started from ♪

♪ California ♪

♪ California... ♪

So, what's on
the agenda today?

Oh, it's packed.
You don't want to know.

Sure I do.

Okay, conference call
with the zoning board,

lunch with a couple
of investors...

I gotta oversee
Ramsey's presentation

for tomorrow's meeting.

Want me to go on?

I do.

Believe it or not,
it sounds exciting.

What, more so than
perfecting the art of soufflé?

Speaking of, that one you made
last night, it was top-notch.

Sandy, I'm going crazy.

What?

It's the sifting,
the kneading, the measuring.

I can't take it anymore.

I need to get out
of the kitchen.

Honey.

It's-it's not
the cooking I hate.

It's the quiet.

We'll, we're gonna have
to get used to a quiet house.

I know.

The boys started filling out

their college forms today.

Well, look on
the up side.

Seth will be right
up the road at Berkeley.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.

Remember, before
Ryan came,

Seth was dead set on going

to a boarding school
on the East Coast.

He wants out
of California.

That was years ago.

He was a kid.

Sandy...

Seth has never said
that he wants to go to Berkeley.

But he never said he didn't.

Try not to go
too stir-crazy.

I'll try.

Okay.

DENNIS:
Marissa!

Brace yourself.

You, my friend, are
in the presence of a celebrity.

I am?Harper, here,

is moments away from
being a surfing legend.

Come on, man,
I still have to make it

though this weekend.And assuming that

you shred it out there,

you'll be picked for
Pac West's 2006 team.

Oh, well, that's great.

Congratulations.

Cooper! A little
enthusiasm, buddy.

This is a banner day
for Dennis Childress.

It's a banner day for you?

Yeah! You might get
to be the star,

but I get to be
the entourage.

Which is a way better
deal, anyways.

We're talking free swag,
VIP parties,

crashing your
world tour.

I had no idea.

Someone's got
to carry your surfboard.

Well,
I'll be there

to watch you
in your moment of glory.

Are you alright?

You seem a little, uh...

I'm fine. Promise.

Look, I'll see you
guys later, okay?

Something's
wrong with her.

DENNIS:
Poor kid's probably
star-struck.

Get used to it.

So we'll deal with grades
and boards later,

but for now, I just want
to get a feel for what you want,

you know, where you
imagine yourself.

Uh, somewhere cold.

Or brisk.
I would settle for brisk.

I want 365 sundaes...

and don't mean
the day after Saturday.

Uh...

Not someplace too big,
but not a lot of sports,

not a lot of big guys
playing sports.

I definitely want
to join a sorority.

Oh, but I don't
want to learn Greek.

Where are you thinking?

I don't know.

I've only lived in California.

Hawaii, Arizona...

Uh, Boston, Connecticut,

Vermont, Maine,
Rhode Island or New Hampshire.

Ooh!
Do they have a college in Cabo?

I'm not sure.

Uh, I guess

this sounds like I
haven't given it

a lot of thought, but
the truth of the matter

is, I-I have. Uh...

I'll be the first in my family

to graduate from high school,
let alone go to college.

So, I mean, this whole...

It's a lot.

It's just so odd

that Charlotte
just up and left

without so much
as a phone call.

Well, you know,
her father called.

He said it was an emergency

and that's all
she needed to hear.

Julie, she hasn't spoken
to her father in years.

Well, you know how
it is with family.

One day you're estranged,
next, you're bugs in a rug.

But enough
about Charlotte.

How are you?

Oh, it's just, I'm...

I'm losing my mind at home.

I feel like...

Julie, are you even
listening to this?

Yes, of course.

Is there something
you need to tell me?

[ doorbell rings]

Excuse me.

Ms. Cooper.

This is the last time
I'm going to warn you.

I need that rent check.

$10,000 or this
could get very ugly.

Is everything okay?

I don't need any, thanks.

Hello, I don't need
any steak knives.

You want some coffee cake?

Hey, man.

What's up?

You going to visit me
in Providence next year?

Ooh.

Going to Rhode Island.

Brown. University.
Mm-hmm.

I just had a meeting
with the counselor.

She said I had a very good
shot of getting in,
'cause I'm awesome.

This your first choice?

Dude, it's my only choice.

It's liberal,
it's turtleneck weather,

and most importantly,
it's 3,000 miles away from here.

So it's safe to say
you're not applying

to Berkeley-- you
told your dad yet?

Sandy Cohen's
a perceptive guy.

I'm sure he'll figure it out.

Seth, you got
to tell him.

Dad, I'm not applying
to Berkeley.

Where'd you get a gun?

Why do you have this gun?

Mm, mm, that doesn't have
a good ring to it.

It doesn't have
a good ring. Fine.

I'll stop by after school,
I'll break it to him.

At least you're
going to college.

Unlike a lanky lady friend
of yours?

[ sighs]:
Yeah.

I don't get it, I mean,

she's always wanted
to go to college, you know?

Well, you could talk to her.

You could use your powers
of persuasion.

I don't have any--
ever since I got back

to Harbor, it's like I don't
have a leg to stand on.

Then you need to find
somebody who does.

You need to get yourself
an ally.

Why are you doing that?

Because I don't give a crap
about this school.

I'm out of here.
[ spits]

Summer, feel my forehead.

What? Why?

I have college fever.
Don't you?

Maybe. What are the symptoms?

You become incredibly annoying?

Summer, cheer up.

You're just gonna
love Arizona.

Oops.

How do you know that
I'm applying there?

I work in the college
counseling office.

Um, I do a lot of filing.

Oh, and snooping.

Well, I did notice
that you and Seth

are headed to opposite
ends of the country.

Boo.Yeah, well, we have
different tastes.

Yeah, apparently--
he wants to go to Brown,

and you want to go
someplace sunny

where kids drink
till they vomit.

Taylor, do you
have a point?

I'm just sad for you, is all.

You know, I mean,
the long-distance thing

can be such a grind.

Oh, what am I
talking about?

I'm sure you and Seth have
a whole plan worked out.

A plan?
Yeah.

Well, Seth wouldn't just
skedaddle off to the East Coast

without so much as a thought
to your relationship.

Would he?Look, no one is skedaddling
anywhere yet, okay?

Well, if you two haven't
even talked about this yet,

my guess is there's
stormy weather ahead.

[ chuckles]:
Intimacy.

It's a tricky business.

[ knocking]

Dad.

I didn't know you'd be
dropping by today.

Yeah, well...

you know, I had kind of
a big day at school.

I know, I know,
you had a meeting

with your college counselor.

I'm dying to hear about it.

Well, you know, she said

that I actually have
a lot of options.

Well, of course you do.

And whatever you decide,
I'll respect.

Good.
Listen,

I'm just happy you're even
considering Berkeley.

You are.
Well, aren't you?

Yeah, considering? Sure.

Great.Yeah.

Listen, as long as it's still
on the table, I'm happy.

Mmm, mmm.

[ quietly]:
Yes, Berkeley.

Okay, I'm glad
we got this all cleared up.

I'm gonna see you
back at the house.
Oh.

Oh, okay, alright.

You got it.

Good talk.
You... yep.

Hey, Sheryl.

Yeah, will you get Paul Glass
at Berkeley on the line for me?

Hey.

Thanks for coming
to get me.

Not a problem.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You want to hang out
for a minute?

What, you just want
to enjoy the scenery?

I wanted to talk to you
about college.

Look, I already told you
I'm not going.I know, I know,

you're not going.You could talk
to somebody.

Sorry, I sort of overheard
what you were talking about.

Hey, man,
what are you doing here?

I was trying to convince Marissa
to see her guidance counselor.

Oh, Mitchell Davison.
He's a great guy.

That's what I hear.

That's what you hear?

From who?

Oh, my God.

You guys planned this,
didn't you?

Look, we just...
we didn't want you

to do something
you might regret.

So you conspired
to get me here?

To lecture me on what
to do with mylife?

Come on, it's not like that.I mean, I thought
I could talk to you.

I thought you were on myside.

I'm on your side.

Trust me.Just... leave me alone.

[ sighs]

Oh, man, it'll be
great to see you.

Yeah, that's right.
Tomorrow night.

I'll see you then.

Alright, Paul.
Bye.

Who's that?

Our old friend,
Paul Glass.

Paul Glass, as in Paul
Glass from Berkeley?

Well, not from anymore, at--
he's working there now.

What, what?
He called me.

Besides, Seth came by

the office yesterday
to talk colleges.

He seems interested
in Cal.

As long as you
don't pressure him.

No. No pressure.

A nudge.
A father's allowed to nudge.

Nudging's allowed,
but any more than that

and I will confiscate
your Cal sweatshirt.

You wouldn't dare.
Try me.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'm going to try and make
a cardio bar class.

Cardio bar is crawling
with Newpsies-- how
bored are you?

Well, I thought I'd go,
'cause Julie loves it,

and I thought it
might cheer her up.

Lately she seems...
not herself.

Is that a bad thing?

I'm serious, Sandy.

She's keeping something from me.

Well, when it comes
to Julie Cooper,

sometimes it's better
not knowing.

Yeah.

Well, whatever.
Let's go.

You look very sporty.Thank you.

So, how did it go
with Marissa?

Basically accused me
and Johnny of ganging up on her

and she stormed offOh, so it went well.

I don't know,
I guess it's to be expected.

We'll all be splitting up
next year, it's bound

to make everybody tense.

Okay, but why focus
on the negative?

This is a cause for celebration.

We get to finally leave Newport.

Well, I'm not sure
everybody sees that

as something to celebrate.

What, you want to stay in
Orange County forever?

Grow old playing golf and
chatting about the NASDAQ?

No, I'm just saying, you know,
maybe Newport isn't all evil.

Name me one thing about Newport
that isn't evil.

I will name you two.

Cohen. Hi.

You, me,
upstairs, now.

Tell my parents
I love them.

How are you?

Better, thanks.

Look, I'm sorry
about yesterday.

I... I didn't mean to...
pressure you.

You know, I realized after,

you were probably
just trying to help.

So I made an appointment with

the college guidance counselor.

Alright! You did!

I mean, I can't promise anything
but I'm going to try.

These are our college lists.
Do you see a difference?

Yeah, the font.

Looks like you went
with the Times New Roman.

The schools, dufus!

None of them are
the same.

None of them are even
in the same time zone.

Okay, so, you know,
you want West Coast,

I want East Coast,
it's not a hip-hop war.

We are going

to be separated by, like,

a zillion billion miles.

I was up all last night
thinking about that.

You were?

You haven't even given this
a second thought, have you?

Uh...

Summer, wait a second...

No. Too late, Cohen.

[ door slams]

Julie!

You're leaving us
already?

Uh, well, you know,

I was only staying
here temporarily.

I'm renovating my place
in Balboa Estates.

You know, I couldn't
stand the racket.

You live in the Balboa Estates
and you drive your own U-Haul?

I'm just keeping it real.

Well, gotta go.
See you round.

3-F.

[ engine revving in spurts]

[ gears grinding]

Mrs. Rushfield. Hi.

I wanted to read up on a school.
Brown.

I know, it's a major reach,

but it doesn't hurt
to look, right?

Of course.

Let me just get
the file for you.

Thanks.

Hmm.

That's been checked out.

Here you go.

Oh, this is just what
we were looking for.

Thank you, Taylor.

Here you go.

[ laughs]

You're applying to Brown?Maybe.

Well, I'm sure they would
just love to have you.

I hear the Ivys often recruit
from Fred Segal.

I can get into Brown
if I want to.

Of course you can.

And on the off chance

that you don't, you can
always come and visit.

Seth and I will show you around.

COUNSELOR:
You have the grades.

Lots of activities.

My guess is,
you'll be fine.

Except... I'm not
sure I want to go.

I'm sorry, Marissa.
I'm a little confused.

What are we doing here?

Does this have anything
to do with, uh,

what happened
to you over the summer?

I read about it
in your file.

It's just, I'd have
to explain it, wouldn't I?

Well, on the applications, yes.

You will have to say
why you were expelled.

But if it means
getting into college,

it seems like
a small price to pay.

I've just spent all this time

trying to forget about it.

And, you know, if I had
to drudge it up again,

I don't know if
I could handle it.

I get it.

That's a tough skeleton
to have in your closet.

But, if you want my
advice, write about it.

See what comes out.

Well, that's exactly what
I don't want to do.

Marissa...

you can't run away
from your past.

So, before you let it
ruin your future,

you might try
learning to live with it.

[ grunting with effort]

Oh, excuse me.

Could I get a little help
over here?

I ain't no bellman, lady.

How charming.

I take it you're my landlord?

Yep, I'm Gus.

Welcome to the Taj Mahal.

I can't believe I'm back here.

You lived here before?

I'm speaking figuratively.

The truth is,

I moved out of a place like this
when I was 18.

I never thought I'd be back.

Yeah, well, when I was a kid,

I wanted to be wide receiver
for the Chargers.

Sometimes life don't work out.

[ heavy sigh]

[ screams]

[angry sob]

[ crying]

[ humming a melody]

Everyone's here-- perfect!

Hey, a college buddy
of mine, Paul Glass,
is in town.

I invited him over
for dinner tonight.

And what brings Paul to town?

Oh, something
to do with work.Something for Berkeley?

Your friend works
at Berkeley?

It's not what you think.You mean an ambush?

A resource. You
guys might enjoy
talking to him.

It sounds like an ambush.

It's dinner.
They have to eat.

Hey.

What are you guys
doing here?

Pack West Surf Contest.
Today's the day.

Remember?
Oh... you know,
that's okay.

I don't want
to be a downer.Why? What's up?

If I can't write
the essay,

you know, I may as well
forget about college.

So forget it.
Come on tour with us.

What?That's not a bad idea--
you know,

travel the world,
give yourself some
time to think.

Are you serious?Look,

maybe you just need
to take the pressure off.

You know?
Give yourself some time.

Why not do it in Fiji?

Just come to the contest today,
see what you think.

Alright, give me
five minutes.

Hey.

Hey.

Was that Johnny and Dog Boy
downstairs?

Yeah, Johnny's got this, uh,
big surf contest today.

I'm gonna go support him.

Huh. What about your essay?

You know, you can
use my computer.

Just be gentle with it.

Yeah... that might be
put off for a while.

What are you talking about?

Hello.
Mm.

Hey, Julie.
Glad you were free.

Well, I can't stay long.

Did I tell you
I'm moving?

It's such a hassle--
but the new place,
it's beautiful.

Well, then I'll get
right to it.

How would you like
to go into business together?

What?Well, think about it.

The magazine, the fund-raiser.

We'd make a good team.

Kirsten...

I don't need your charity.

Then... why are you living
in a trailer?

I'm sorry.

I followed you yesterday.

Well, then I certainly
hope you're opening
a detective agency.

It's not charity.

I'm going crazy doing nothing.

Ineed this.

Well...

if youneed it, I guess.

[ laughs softly]Just one thing.

If we're gonna be partners,
I need to know what
happened to Charlotte.

She can't be with her dad,
she hates her dad.

Oh, God, she didn't
relapse, did she?

No, she couldn't--
because she's not
an alcoholic.

What are you talking about?

Oh, Kirsten, I never
wanted to tell you this.

Charlotte...

went to rehab
to find a...

rich, vulnerable woman
she could exploit.

She's a con artist.

I'm so sorry.

But the fund-raiser...

A scam.

She was planning on taking
that money with her.

But I stopped her
at the last minute.

Oh, my God.

You were in on it?

Kirsten...

Kirsten, let
me explain.

What is it, Cohen?

We need to talk.

I brought visual aids.

SUMMER:
Boarding school stuff?

My entire life, I
have wanted to get

as far away from
Newport as possible,

and the only
reason I didn't

is because Ryan came and
you started talking to me.

And I'm very glad
I stayed-- but...

now I haveto go.

Fine. I get it.

But what's your plan
for us?

E-mails, phone calls,
see each other once
every two months?

Or...

Or you could come with me.

No.

You've always wanted
to go east,

I've always wanted
to stay west.

Well, but don't
you think...
But what?

My dreams are not as important
as yours?

Summer, I'm trying
to make this work.

I feel like you're just
writing this off.

You don't see Ryan
and Marissa giving up.

Not yet, anyway.

What does that mean?

[ talking indistinctly]

I'm telling you,
man, there is no shame
in playing it safe.

Marissa, tell him.

Tell him what?
Nine months
of our lives,

Costa Rica,
Fiji, Hawaii--

it all rides on today.

Way to take
the pressure off, man.

Hey, you're gonna be
great out there.

Thanks. Got to get
to the staging area.

See you guys later.

Bye.

So...

is this what next year
is gonna be like?

Just hanging out on the beach,
watching Johnny surf?

That and scoring
hot foreign babes.

Great.

By the way,
I forgot to tell you.

I talked to some people
that I know-- they think

they can get you a job
as a label rep for the tour.

Wow.
Yeah.

So if you're serious
about it,

let me know,
I'll make it happen.

Hey, man.
Hi.

What's up?

Everything alright?[ big sigh]

You would think that
we could deal with next year...

I don't know, next year,
but no--

it's got to screw up
this year, too.

Yeah, Marissa and I have
some of that, too.

Yeah. By the way,
have you spoken
to her today?

No. I was on my way to see if
she wanted to grab lunch. Why?

Have a seat.

I don't want to tell you this
standing up.

Thanks for coming, Taylor.

Well, it was no problem
at all, Summer.

I just wanted to talk
to you about next year.First of all,

let me just say that
where I apply to college

is frankly none
of your business,

and if some of those
schools happen to cross

with Seth's, well...Taylor.

Shut up, okay?
[ chuckles]

You can have him.

Go to Brown or wherever
you smart people go.

He's yours.

[ laughs]

This is a ploy, isn't it?

No. It's life.

He's going to Rhode Island,
and I'm going to Arizona.

I-I just thought you
guys would do the whole
long-distance thing.

Please, and struggle along?

Break up at Thanksgiving
and hook up at Christmas,

and then break up again
in January when we're
both back at school?

But you could still apply
to a school near to him.

Could you imagine me
on the East Coast?

I'd be like one of those
animals that they rip

from their natural habitat
and put in the zoo.

My fur would get all mangy,
I'd throw dung at people,
it'd be awful.

Uh-huh. You know,
I'm almost offended

that you think I
would believe that
sort of idiotic lie.

You want the truth, Taylor?

What if he goes to college
and meets a bunch

of really smart
and interesting girls

and realizes that that's
who he's supposed to be with?

And that, uh, you're just
his high school girlfriend.

You're cute and you're
fun to be with, but, um,

doesn't want his kids
to have your DNA?

Yeah.

Maybe we should just end it,
you know?

Summer...

You be nice to him, okay?

Dude, that was
so awesome.

Yeah, you were amazing.

I caught some
good waves.

Oh-ho, and modest.

I'm gonna go see when
they're announcing the teams.Alright.

I'm gonna call my mom,
let her know how I did.

She's working up in
San Jose this weekend.

Hey.Hey. Heard you were here.

Yeah, Johnny was competing.What's going on?

Last night you said you wanted
to go to college, and now

you're doing this?Look, Ryan,

I tried to write the essay.

I-I couldn't.

Okay, well, I'll help you.

No, I really don't
think you can.

Hey, Ryan!

Thanks for coming, man.

What's up?

Did you tell Marissa
she should blow off college?Of course not.

Okay, then explain
what you're doing here.

Dude, no offense,
but...

maybe you just don't
understand what she's
going through.

Is that what you think?

No. Okay, I think
it's complicated.

[ cheering]

[ over P.A. system]:
What's up, everybody?!

Yeah!

Alright,
we're about to announce

this year's Pack West Surf Team,

but before we do that,
let's give it up

for those surfers
out there, huh?

Johnny!

Johnny!
Hey, look, can we
talk about this later?

You know what?
You two talk. I'm done.

Johnny!

Johnny!No, wait.

Johnny!I'll get him.

Johnny!

Ryan!

MARISSA:
Johnny!

[ over P.A. system]:
The first member of this year's
team is Johnny Harper!

Johnny Harper, where are you?

[ cheering in distance]

Somebody call an ambulance!

Were you all with Johnny Harper?

Yeah.
He's going to be okay, right?

Uh, does he have a parent here?

Um, his mom's flying in
from San Jose.

How is he?

Lucky.

The only real damage
is to his knee.

There's been a clean tear of
the ACL, some bone damage.

He's going to require surgery.

When's he going to be able
to surf again?

I'm less worried
about him surfing

than when he's going
to walk again.

He'll be awake in an hour
if you want to see him.

[ sighs]

It's my fault.

He was coming after me
when he got hit.

Ryan, let's not
do this now, okay?

You should probably go.

Sandy will be wondering
where you are.

I think
I should go find Chili.

I'll call you.

Kirsten, look who I found.

I heard this is where Newport's
newest culinary talent lives.

Oh, Paul, it's
good to see you.

And you remember Seth.

Sure, last time I saw you
were in a Berkeley onesie.

Oh, thank you for that.

Why don't you run upstairs
and put it on?

And uh, oh, here's Ryan.
Paul Glass.

Ryan, nice to meet you.

Uh, Seth, why don't you
grab the bread,

and then we can
all go outside.

Sure.
After you.

So, how's your friend?

I think he's going to be okay.
At least, I hope.

Well, good.
What do you say

we get something to eat!Yeah.

[ knocking]

What is it with people
showing up with bags?

I brought you something.

Providence College?

It has good Catholic values.

Admission standards a little
more in your wheel house,

and, uh, best of all,
it's 20 minutes from Brown.

Taylor...

Look, Summer...

who knows what's going to happen
in the future,

but for right now,
Seth loves you.

And you're not even
giving him a chance.

Why are you doing this?

I figured Brown was a little
"Vanity Fair" for my taste.

And now I'm considering
the Sorbonne.

No, I mean, why are you
being so nice?

Well, pathetic as it sounds,

you and Seth are pretty much
my best friends.

And, uh, let's face it.

I never really had a shot
with him.

Taylor, we are your friends.

Really?

Um, because

I just got Kieslowski's
Decalogueon DVD

and, like, I don't know,

I don't know if you're
in to Polish cinema,

but maybe you could come over

and we could have, like,
a sleepover marathon, and...

No. Sorry. Okay.

Keep in touch, Summer.

So anyway, it was Halloween

and I set Sandy up
with a roommate

of this girl that I was dating.

SANDY:
I didn't have
a costume, so when

I went to pick her up,
I put a bag over my head.

I felt like I was dating
Elephant Man.

Oh, yeah.PAUL:
You know, supposedly

something like 50 percent

of people meet their future
mates in college.

You two have girlfriends?

Uh...

Um?Yes.

[ phone rings]Uh, I'm gonna get that.

Sure.

I don't know anymore.Yeah.

Alright, so what do you call
a black guy who flies a plane?

Uh...

A pilot, you frigging racist.

[ laughing]

JULIE [ on machine]:
Kirsten, it's me.

I know you probably never want
to see me again,

I just wanted to say
I'm sorry again.

After everything you've done,

you deserve a better friend
than me.

...You know?[ laughing]

Uh... I'm sorry.

I have to run.

It was really good to see you,
Paul.

Yeah, it was great to see you,
too.

Is everything okay?

Oh, it's fine.
I'll be back in a half an hour.

Oh, Summer.

Hi, I was hoping that I could
talk to Seth.

KIRSTEN:
Oh, sure, he's right up there.Excuse me.

And then there were three.

Oh, thank you!

If I had to listen to one more
Berkeley anecdote...

Come here.

How does this go?

Okay, it's not
that cold, but...

No. I want to see what we are
going to look like next year.

What are you talking about?

I'm coming with you.

Providence College.

It's only 20 minutes
from Brown.

You serious?

Yeah.

I want to give us a shot,
you know.

And I can't do that
from across the country. So...

I don't believe this.

What made you change your mind?

Taylor.

She made me see that at Brown

you're going to be surrounded by
like, really smart people.

It's going to make you feel
really stupid.

So, you need someone around to
make you feel smart again.

I mean, you want me to come with
you, right?

Do I want you
to come with me?

Summer...

You're my little
snow angel.

[ giggling]

Hello, rabbit.

Hey.

Hey.

How do you feel?

Like I just got hit by a car
and shot full of drugs.

Look, this is all my fault.

Yeah, I guess.

Kind of Ryan's too,
for reacting the way he did.

And Chili, for coming up with
the whole surf contest

in the first place.

And the chick who hit me
didn't help things.

You know what?

No matter how you slice it, my
knee is still screwed up.

Well, what are you going to do?

I'm going to get the operation,

do the rehab,
and get back on my board.

Things happen, Marissa.

What else you gonna do...
give up?

JULIE:
Gus?

I told your wife,
I don't swing!

Oh, Kirsten, what...

What... what...?

Uh, hey, Julie.

I was wondering if we could get
together tomorrow

and discuss business ideas.

Wait, you...

You still want to go
into business with me?

I started asking myself

why you didn't go through
with this scam.

You could be living in
Charlotte's beautiful condo.

But you're here.

Yeah, I...
I guess I could.

I know you did it for me.

Let me do this for you.

Hey, Julie.

I've got a gun, Gus.

That's cool.

Yeah...
Let's do it.

Don't... don't go there!
Don't do that again.

You did that one time.

Don't do that again.

No more stories for me.

Yeah, well, that's a good thing,

'cause I think we're about
to lose Ryan.

No, no, no.
It's all great. I just...

I don't know if I'm ready for
the whole college thing.

How's that?

I look around and I've got
a home, family...

Part of me feels like I
finally got it together.

I'm not sure I'm ready
to leave that.

You know, going away to college
is not good-bye.

I know.

But what happens on vacations?

Do I stay in the pool house?

No matter where you go, this
will always be your home.

Dad, can I talk to you
inside for a second?

Yeah.

Excuse me a minute.Yeah.

So, uh, tell me...

in this leaving equation,

is there a serious girlfriend
component?

Oh, boy.

Hey, sorry for
ducking out earlier.

Yeah, you missed my story about
playing Nanki-Poo in The Mikado.

Oh, yeah.
That's too... too bad.

Listen....

I don't want you
to get upset, okay?

But...

I'm not going to Berkeley.

I want to go to Brown.

I'm not upset.
Brown's a great school.

I wish you would
have told me.

Dad, I been trying to for years,
and you didn't want to hear it.

It's that I want you to have

the same amazing experience
that I had.

That is exactly why
I need to go East.

It's exactly what you did.

You left everything behind
and you forged your own path.

I need to do that.

You're already doing it.

Come here.

Hey, Seth's
applying to Brown.

I think it's great.

Listen, Summer's
upstairs ordering
things from L.L. Bean,

so I have to...

Hurry. Hurry.

So...

It seems that we're going to be
empty nesters.

True.

What do you think about getting
an apartment in Providence?

Ooh, Providence.

So she's a pretty important part
of your life.

Yeah, I mean, ever since
I got here,

she's always accepted me
for who I am.

I don't know
if I can leave that.

Ryan?

Excuse me.

Sure.

RYAN:
How's Johnny?

MARISSA:
He's okay.

He's amazing, actually.

You know, he says
he's going to surf again.

I feel responsible.

Ryan, it's not your fault.

Or mine.

It just happened.

We can't keep blaming
ourselves for everything.

And how do we do that?

Well, for starters,
I'm applying to college.

Alright.

You know, as awful
as the shooting was,

if I don't let it go,
it's just going to ruin my life.

Both our lives.

The essay?

I'll say what happened,
you know.

That I saved the life
of someone I love.

A college will either
accept that or not.

I can't keep
hiding from it.

It's made me who I am.

There is no going back.

You know, with everything we've
been through the past two years,

and the fact that
we're still here,

really makes me think there's
nothing we can't handle.

[ Paul clears throat]

Sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to say good night.

It felt weird
sitting alone,

and I couldn't
help overhearing.

I'm hoping that you both
will apply to Berkeley.

I think it'd be a good fit.

If you have any questions,
just give me a call.

Thanks.

You guys dressed?

Yeah, anybody hungry?

Yeah, this one's got to
pack on some pounds

for the cold weather.

Hmm, says Mr. Toothpick.

Hey, Providence College?

Wow. We're thinking
about Berkeley.

So we'll be
in Northern California
and you'll be in Rhode Island.

Uh-oh. You and Seth are
going to have to do the
long distance thing.

You better not cheat
on each other.

Yeah, it's college.
Things happen.

Are you questioning
your sexuality?No, but...
