All language subtitles for The O.C. (2005) - S03E09 - The Disconnect_track3_[eng]

Previously on the O.C.:

How would you like to go
into business together?

I don't need your charity.

KIRSTEN:
Then why are you living
in a trailer?

I don't want
to go to Berkeley.

I want to go to Brown.

SUMMER:
What if he goes to college

and meets a bunch
of really smart girls

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

What the hell
are you doing?

Let me explain.

You call people in on a Sunday
to fire them.

He likes you, and sooner
or later, you're going
to have to deal with it.

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

You two talk, I'm done.

Ryan!

I feel responsible.

I'm going to get the operation
and get back on my board.

You guys, seriously,
thank you.

Sure, we're happy
to help.

Not a problem, man.

I'm just along for the ride,
but you're welcome.

You didn't have
to do this.

Come on.
Yeah, we did.

I mean, Chili's out of town,
your mom's at work...

We weren't going
to let you take the bus.

Yeah, taking the bus
never seems

to end up well
around here.

It's this one
up on the right.

MARISSA:
The one with the white trim?

No, it's the one
next to it.

The Infinity Pool's
in the back.

Dude, don't even worry
about it.

You should see
where Ryan grew up.

We're moving soon.

After I go pro,

a year on the circuit,
save some money,

buy my mom a house
on the flower streets.

I may seem a little
optimistic now, but...

No.

Thanks again.

Yeah, see you.

Here, let me help you.

No, I'm fine.

You're all going
to be late for school.

Don't forget.

Oh, thanks. All right.

Yeah.

Okay, definitely
not fine.

I can't watch this.

I have a free period right now.

You should stay,
help him get settled.

You think?

See you tonight.
Okay.

We'll catch up,
get something to eat.

Okay, thank you.

Here, let me help.

No, no, it's fine.

No, it's okay,
I got it.

Don't speak.

The kid has no one.

And I trust Marissa.

♪ California...

KIRSTEN: So I was thinking our
new business

could provide something
that's missing in Newport.

But we've got everything.

Not a great bookstore.

Latest fiction,
authors giving readings...

Ah, interesting.

But I was thinking

that our new business could
provide something

that Newport actually wants.

Okay, Julie,
what's your idea?

Okay.

I was reading in Stuff
magazine about this service.

We can get this girl come
and clean your house.

I think they're called
housekeepers,

and Newport is definitely
on to that trend.

Not housekeepers, nude maids.

Who wants to see
their maids nude?

Not maids, Kirsten,
they're strippers.

Who wants a stripper
doing their laundry?

Well, as long as she knows
how to iron my shirts

the way I like them, wrinkle-
free and not too starchy.

See, Kiki?
Sandy gets it.

Just a few weeks
at the Newport Group,

he's already thinking
like a businessman.

You've got to give
the people what they want.

Exactly. And right now
I'm trying to give people
without a lot of money

a decent place to live.

Matt set up a big meeting
with some potential investors.

Sandy, I don't think I'm in
favor of low-income housing.

Julie, you live
in a trailer park.

And I'm highly motivated
to change my circumstances.

If you make being poor
too comfortable,

what's the incentive
to get rich?

Believe me,
if anyone should know...

Well, on that uplifting note,

I'll leave you two
to hash out the finer points

of the free-market
economy.

Look, why don't we
do something

that we know Newport needs
and we're already good at.

I'm blanking.

Party planning.

I'll cater charity events,
private dinners...

We know all the vendors,
all the sites,

already have
a huge client base.

Mm-hmm.

I'm in.

Has Marissa called?

I just dropped her off.

Why would she call?
She's busy.

Hey, guys.
Can't talk.

I have
to go see Dr. Kim.

You in trouble?

No, I have to change
my college file.

I got my SAT score.

Summer, we got our SAT
scores back months ago.

Oh, well, I took mine late,
remember?

There was a Valleymarathon
on the first time around.

How'd you do?

Ryan, come on.

You never ask a lady her age,
weight or SAT score.

I got a 2300.

What, that bad?

That... good.

Hmm? As good as you, Cohen?

Better.

By just the tiniest bit.

Huh.

You know,
I read a study once

that said that if 1,500
third-graders

took the SAT,
one would get
a perfect score

by probability alone.

Yeah.
I'm not a third-grader, Cohen.

No, no, I'm not saying you are.

But, I mean, how else
do you explain it?

I don't know.

How is that even possible?

She did save Chrismukkah.

Okay, so you've
got your blanket

pillows, um, what else?

The remote,
magazines...

All right, just call me
if you need anything, okay?

Don't wait by the phone.

I mean, since you pretty much
thought of everything.

Well, maybe I should stop by
after school.

Give you your homework.

I'll get it later.

Is everything okay?

Because if I didn't know
any better,

I'd think you were trying
to get rid of me.

Whatever you could do
would help.

Ma, hey.

Please, call me

when you have some
information. Thanks again.

Hi, baby,
how you feeling?

Okay. Ma, this is...

The famous
Marissa Cooper.

Hi.

Come here, sweetie.

Oh, Johnny talks
about you so much,

I feel like I know
you already.

You didn't tell me
she was gorgeous.

Ma, you're embarrassing her.

Sorry.

Listen, thank you for bringing
him home.

I tried to get someone
to cover for me at
the nursing home,

but no one wants the night
shift. Go figure.
Marissa has to get to class.

You're going to make her late.

Just wait.
I've got some good news.

I got you an appointment...

with the best sports medicine
doctor in all of Orange County.

A real fancy
orthopedic surgeon,

works with the Angels
and the Ducks.

Thanks, Mom.

One hitch.

Being that he's so in demand,
there's a wait list,

and the wait's going
to be a little while.

What, like a week?

It seemed kind of more
like months.

But the team will be gone then.

I'll miss the tour.

I know, honey,

but there's always next year.

And maybe there's a way
to get moved up on the list.

No, no, I tried.

But you know, they give these
favors to friends

and donors
to the hospital.

Babe...

I'm sorry.
I did the best I could.

Hi.
Hey.

You're not going
to believe this.

So it turns out that
I am totally smart.

Yeah, you are.

In your own way.

Not in my own way,
in your way, too.

Apparently,
I have a lot of what
they call "aptitude."

Really?

Dr. Kim told me that,

like, every few years

she has a female student
that turns out to be,

like, academically gifted,

but just didn't
apply herself.

You know,
just focusing more

on boys and shopping
and celebrity gossip.

But she said if I study
for my finals,

I could get my grades
up enough to go
to Brown with you.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yeah. Sure, but, you know,
do you want to go to Brown?

Now I do.

Dr. Kim said that you
can make your own major.

And the school colors
are seal brown.

How cute are seals?

Mm.
And then look,

they're having
this thing tomorrow,

for prospective students,

and I thought
we could go together.

Okay, yeah.

Mm. Sounds like a date.

Okay.

What you reading?

Hmm?

Oh, it's just
Fear and Trembling.

It's Kierkegaard.

He's the godfather
of existentialism.

Sort of invented
the concept of angst.

Hmm.

Well, now that I'm smart,
I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Mm.

All right, I'll do the welcome, explain our philosophy,

present the model...

I'll follow up
with the numbers.

What about Thai for dinner?

Sounds great.

Happy days are here again.

You two are so perfect together.

It's almost painful
to be around.

Well, we've been working on it
for about 25 years.

You're bound to get it right
eventually.

What about you?

There's a girlfriend
in Chicago?

Yeah, yeah.

She's a great girl.

I look forward to meeting her.

Well, here's
a couple of guys

who know a thing
or two about romance.

Seth, Ryan,
meet Matt Ramsey.

Hey. Matt, meet my boys.

Hey, there.

Matt and I are working
on the proposal

for our affordable
housing development.

Oh, that's my cue
to go help Mom with dinner.

This is it, huh?

Yep.

It's an early version,
but pretty much.

You guys probably don't want
my two cents, but, uh...

What? No, no, no, go ahead.

Well, you put a wall up here,

it turns this whole space
into a courtyard.

Add some benches,
a playground, good idea.

It's just a thought.

You're a senior, right?

Applying to college?
Yeah.

What would look better
on a resume than an internship

with a prestigious
development company?

I mean, if it's cool
with the boss.

We could use the help.

You got any plans
tonight?

Uh, yeah, my girlfriend.

Cancel them.

Well, this is the
doctor's home page,

and it says here he works
out of Hogue Hospital.

My mom done a bunch
of charities for them

and Summer's dad
even works there.

So this is kind
of perfect.

Marissa, I appreciate
everything, but...

you can't do this.

Why?

Because I might one day
decide to become a surfer,

get hit by a bus,
need surgery,

and then realize
I used my one good favor

with the best doctor
in town?

Yeah, I don't think
that's going to happen.

I just don't want you
to think this is your problem.

[ knocking]

Too late.

Hang on. Summer's
picking me up.

Oops, sorry.

Hey.

Hey. You ready to go?

[ phone ringing] Oh,
hang on.

Oh, it's Ryan.

We're supposed to have dinner
tonight, I should...

Hi.

You have to help me.

I thought Marissa
was helping you.

She is. She's driving me,
feeding me,

bringing me
my homework.

Now she's trying
to get me in with
some doctor.

Well, she's a good friend.
I don't see the problem.

She's too nice.

She's spending too much time
with me.

Well, she tends
to be a little clingy.

No, it's not that
I don't like it.

It's that I do.

A lot.

I called this,
like, so long ago.

This, this is a major problem.

Not for anybody but me, okay?

Just don't tell anyone.

Promise?

Yeah.
Hey.

What I miss?

Hey, you think maybe you
could pick me up, too?

Oh, maybe you
should ask Ryan.

Oh, I think he's gonna
go to the Newport
Group after school.

Oh, I guess I could
swing by Union.
Oh,

actually, can you
pick me up at Johnny's?

'Cause I'm gonna drop
off his homework,

and hopefully, he'll know
about the doctor by then.

Hey, you think maybe
you could ask your dad

to put in a good word?
Yeah, I guess.

Are you sure,

I don't know, that
that's the best idea?

You being all involved
in Johnny's life?

You guys are getting
really close.

Yeah, well, he doesn't
really have anyone else.

I mean, his mom's sweet,
but it just seems

like everything's
kind of hard for her,
you know?

I'm just trying to help.

Okay, I'll talk to my dad.

You know, the sooner that
Johnny gets on his feet,

the sooner you don't have
to be his nursemaid.

I kind of like
being his nursemaid.

You know, maybe
I should be a nurse.

[ laughing]:
That is a good one.

SETH:
So was Marissa totally cool

with you canceling
on her last night?

Didn't have
a problem with it.

But do you have a
problem with it?
I canceled on her.

Yeah, but if you canceled on me,
I'd have a problem with it.

And, you know,
if I canceled on you

and you didn't have
a problem with it,

then I might have
a problem with that.

Sounds like you already
got a problem--
and not with me.

Who would my problem be with?

I don't know, 'cause I
think it's really great

that Summer's a genius.
Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, no.
Listen, Dr. Kim said she had

some untapped potential,
and no one went around
using the "G" word.

Don't do this, man.
Do what?

Compete with Summer.

Why, because you think...
Summer would win?

So I figured out what our
startup costs will be.

Do you want to share
an appetizer? Crap cakes?

Sounds good.

We can charge food and
liquor on a per-event basis.

Dishes and linen,
we have to figure out

whether it's worth
buying our own or not.

Mm, you know what
I'm really craving?
The sweet corn ravioli.

Or do you think that'll be
too heavy with the crab cakes?

What I think is,
is that you don't

find this business
very interesting.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Kiki, I've just been eating
a lot of ramen lately.

Julie, if this business works,

you'll never have to boil
your dinner again.

I hada supplier list.

I left it in the car.

I'll be right back.

I'll decide on my order
while you're gone.

Or... read some spreadsheets.

Right here.

[ sighs]:
Mm...

So I see you're suddenly
without a lunch date.

Would you like to join me
at the bar for a drink?

No, my friend
will be back shortly.

Well, maybe I could
buy you both drinks.

Well, she's an alcoholic,

and, uh, we're having
a business lunch.

We're partners.

In a business.

Really.

Mm-hmm.

What kind of business?

Well...

Hey, Julie.

Kirsten!

Oh, this is Jeff Grenzel.

This is my business partner,
Kirsten Cohen.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, we were in the middle of
something, if you'll excuse us.

Actually, I invited Jeff
to join us for lunch.

He just hired us
to do a dinner party

at his house this weekend.

For $5,000.

Oh, well, have a seat.

Thanks.

Do you like crab cakes?

Hey, Ashley, Madison.

Summer, hey.

What's up? Didn't expect to see
youhere,

at a Brown event.
No offense.

Oh, none taken.

Hey, you know, maybe
we should just leave.

Why?

Well, you know...

You don't think
I belong here.

No, it's not that,
it's just, you know,

you don't have
to do this for me.

Oh, this isn't about you.

It isn't?

Because this has been
my dream for years,

and, I mean...
all of a sudden
it's yours, too?

Well, maybe I never
had a dream.

You know, maybe for
once in my life,

I actually want to do
something with my life,

like something important.

Be the first
woman in space,

or win one of those
noble prizes.

Summer, women have been
going to space since the '60s,

and it's not noble prize,
it's Nobel.

Marie Curie won in 1903
for discovering radium.

Well, I think you've
made your point.
Hey, hey,

hey, hey, don't leave.
Oh, I'm not leaving.

Look, you may know
more about history

and science and stuff,
but... I know

a thing or two about
working a room.

Hey, Madison.

Wait up.

You all right?

Yeah.

Uh, I just got a lot on my mind.

I promised it wouldn't
interfere with my work.
Job means a lot to you, huh?

Kind of means everything.

I relocated

to do this with Sandy.

And my girlfriend, uh...

Well, my ex now, I guess, so...

I took her down to Cabo

last weekend and invited her
to join me here,

as my wife.

It turns out

she doesn't like warm weather...

or me.

Have you told Sandy this?

It's not his problem.

Sandy's a good guy.

He's taking a big chance on me.

I don't want to let him down.

Yeah, tell me about it.

[ knocking]
SANDY: Guys,

I hate to do this to you,
but my plate's full.

Whatever it is, put it
right out of your mind.

Ryan and I are on it.
It's already done.

There's legislation in the works

that would change the zoning
at the site.

I need you to work out
both scenarios.

One if it passes,
one if it doesn't.

That means twice the work.

Maybe you could reschedule
the meeting?

I would if I could, but I can't,
these guys are coming tomorrow,

on a Saturday, and then
heading straight down

to San Diego to look
at another development.

14 hours, laptop, coffee.

Ryan and I are good to go.

That's the spirit. Thanks.

Hey, are we gonna have
time to get ready?

'Cause if not,
we should tell him now.

Uh, come on, we'll take
a little field trip.

You guys, next year is
gonna be so much fun.

You know, maybe we
should drive together,
like, have a road trip?

Shotgun.
Excuse me.

If I could have
your attention, please?

I want to thank you
all for coming.

Great group.

So true.
But unfortunately,

on average, Brown only admits
one student a year from Harbor,

and it's stiff
competition.

I wish I could
admit you all.

But enjoy the events,

and good luck.

[ people clapping]

Hey, can I talk to
you for a second?

No, I need to talk
to the Brown guy.

Hey, hi.

Um, I was wondering,

in your opinion, what makes
a student stand out?

Yes, besides good grades.

And high SAT scores.

Well, all our applicants are
leaders at their schools.

What it really takes is a hook.

Fascinating.

Okay, okay.

Could you clarify
with an example?

Sure.

Next week!

That is great news.

I can't believe it.

It's really not
that big a deal.

You know, it turns
out Summer's dad's
a plastic surgeon

at the same hospital, and
they just knew each other.

I'm glad it worked
out, though.

This calls for some kind
of celebration.

Marissa, you're staying
for dinner.

Mom, I'm sure she has plans.

Oh, I do, actually,
with Ryan.

That's her boyfriend.

Well, invite him, too.

We'll-we'll order in.

We'll play board games
or watch movies.

[ phone rings] That's
him.

Probably wondering
where you are.

No, he knows.

Hey. So do you want to
come over to Johnny's

and get take-out and DVDs?

We're gonna celebrate.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, that sounds good.

You should... probably start
without me, though.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

What's up?

[ chuckles]:
Hey-hey!

Whoa.

Hey, it's cool.

He's with me.

Sure thing, boss.

Hey, what are we
doing, man?

I thought we were gonna go
on a coffee run or something.

I never said that.

Do some of my best
thinking here, man.

I can see why.

Loud music, topless women,
no distractions at all.

Sometimes a good distraction
is the best way to recharge.

Right? And here's my muse.

Lily.
Hey, Matt!

How's my favorite
customer doing?

I'm in need of some serious
one-on-one time.

Mm, should I ready the
Champagne Room for you?

[ chuckles]:
Hey, come on, man.

I got this, all right?

We're just gonna have
a little time-out,

then we go back to the office
and pull an all-nighter.

I got plans. I can't... I...

First dance is on me.

I'll be right back.

Hi. I'm Sipowitz.

Hi, Sipowitz.

[ giggles]

I didn't know Julie was
taking this seriously.

Well, you got to hand
it to her, she's a
born entrepreneur.

Hey, I'm starving.

And that actually
smells good.

Well, it's not for you.
Pizza's coming.

Is that a pirate costume?

Summer and I are in a war.

A pirate war?

Well, it turns out
Brown usually takes

only one student from Harbor,

and we both want to be it,
so I need a hook.

Oh, you mean like CaptainHook.

[ doorbell rings] I'll
get that,
maybe it's dinner.

Summer going to Brown?

I mean, no offense...

She did save Chrismukkah.

Is Ryan eating with us?

No, he's working
with Matt tonight.

I think he's a good influence
on Ryan, you know, he's young,

he didn't come from much, he's
making something of himself.

He's a good role model.

You don't have to do this.
Already bought
and paid for.

Oh, that's mine.
My cell.

It's ringing
in my pocket.

Mmm, I definitely feel
somethingvibrating.

Yeah, if you could
just, uh...

No. Let me.

Okay.

Ah, thank you.

Hi. It's Ryan, leave a message.

Hey, uh, it's me.

I was just wondering
where you are,

so, um, it's getting
kind of late.

So call me.

[ TV playing]

♪

[ laughing]

Where have you been?

Whoa, Summer.

I have been worried sick
for hours.

Well, since my alarm went off
20 minutes ago

and I noticed you weren't here.

Sorry, I fell asleep.

Oh, at Ryan's?

At Johnny's.

At Johnny's?

We were watching a movie.

What's that?

A tuba.

Which you have, why?

Because I do.

Because in fifth grade,
you know, when I said

I was going
to beauty pageant camp,

I was going to band camp
and learning to play the tuba.

Wh...?
Wait, quit changing the subject.

I cannot believe you slept
there. Does Ryan know?

RYAN:
Know what?

Uh, how bad
that movie was last night.

Where were you?

Yeah, where were you?

None of my business.

[ sighs]

Uh, I was with Matt.
Uh, we were working.

Wow, so late?

Yeah, big presentation today.
So, movie no good, huh?

Yeah, well, it kind
of put me to sleep.

Uh... how's Johnny?

Uh, better, I think.

Good, good.

Get home okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah,
his mom drove me.

I just wanted to say hi.

Yeah, don't let me keep you.

Okay.

SANDY:
Matt, the investors are in
the conference room.

I need your part
of the presentation.

Call me when you get this.

Matt's missing in action.

Any idea where
he could be?

Uh, he was pulling an all-
nighter, maybe he slept in...

Right through the alarm.
Sorry, Sandy.

SANDY:
Ready?
As I'll ever be.

Just let me put my tie on,
clear my head. Five minutes?

You've got four,
and you might want

to run a comb through your hair.

Thanks for not busting me.

You gonna make me wish I did?

I know these guys, man.
I got it under control.

Summer?

Oh, hey, Ash.
You're not in the band.

Well, no, technically not.
But I thought I could play

the tuba, blow a few minds,
maybe get asked to join.

What do you... think?

I'm a big fan of physical comedy
and I'm extremely limber,

plus Johnny Depp has been
a huge inspiration in my life.

I just think he's taking
the pirate thing

to just a
whole new
level, and...

the brown bear is retiring
next year.

I told you, we already
have a mascot.

Oh, my God.

And what's with
the peg leg?
Why?

It's really creeping me out.

Cohen!

Cohen, what are
you doing?

Summer, what are you doing?

I asked first.
You know what?

You don't need to answer
that, because it's obvious.

Yeah, I'm not the one
wearing a tuba.

Oh, that's really big talk from
a guy wearing hoop earrings.

At least I play the tuba.

[ scoffs]

What? I do.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have
to get to practice.

Ow!

Did you just whack me
with your tuba?

Did you just jab me
with your peg leg?

It was a tap,
you little whacker.

It was a jab, jabber!

Why do you have to be better
than me at everything?

See, that's just it, Summer.

I'm not better than you
at everything.

There was one thing that I was
better at.

And the commercial space
at street level

can provide jobs, places to eat,
a daycare center.

Sounds good,
Mr. Cohen,

but we've heard there are
regulations in the works

which could complicate things.

So have we. Matt's worked out
both sets of numbers. Matt?

Thanks, Sandy.

So if the legislation does not
pass, the profit model

will look something like this.

And if it does?

Um, then we would have to

decrease the amount of

commercial space, which would,
um... decrease the revenue.

By how much, do you think?

I would say a significant
amount.

Matt, we do business in dollars.

How many we talking about here?

Uh... I'm...

Well, we haven't worked out
those numbers right now.

We didn't drive
all the way down here

for a hypothetical conversation.

Of course you didn't.
We'll have

those numbers to you
by this afternoon.

Right, Matt?

Well, thank you, Mr. Cohen,

for your impressive
presentation.

I think we've heard all we need
to today.

Well, thanks for your time.

I'm sorry.

Uh, I...

Anything you'd care to tell me?

[ knocking at door]

Coming.

[ groans]

Johnny?

In here!

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

All right,
come on, here.

Aah...
Oh!

I think I twisted it again.

Okay, come on.

Where are your
painkillers?

Hello.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Oh, oh, Jeff.

What a beautiful,
beautiful place.

JEFF:
Thank you.

Do you and your guests want
dinner in the dining room, or...

Oh, the terrace
would be nice.
Hmm!

Uh, let me ask my guest.

Dining room or terrace?

Excuse me?

I haven't invited anyone.

I was hoping, Julie,
that you might join
me for dinner.

Uh... Mr. Grenzel,

if this is a joke,
it's not funny.

I've spent two
days cooking,

and Julie bought out
the flower mart.

One dinner, please.
I'll pay what I promised.

I just want the chance
to get to know you better.

Julie, we're leaving.

Julie.

You did all this
for a date with me?

Fine, but you're serving
yourselves.

Hungry?

Nope.

[ door shuts]

♪

What the hell happened?

I'm... I'm so sorry.

That you weren't prepared

for the meeting,
I could maybe overlook.

That you were here,
that you brought Ryan here

really tries
my patience.

But I'd hear you out.

Thanks.
That means a lot.

But you lied to my face.

You disrespected me,
and the company

I'm trying to build,
the one that

you said you wanted
to build with me.

It won't happen again.

You're right,
it won't happen again.

I want you out of the office
tomorrow. You're fired.

Sandy, come on. No, not another
word out of you, kid.

Don't think you
don't have anything
to be sorry about.

MARISSA:
Hey, Johnny, do you know
where there's a towel?

I don't want this ice
to melt all over you.

[ slurred]:
Try under the sink.

You know, Marissa...

you're really making this hard.

Making what hard?

We're friends.

Yeah, we are friends.

How many of those painkillers
did you take?

Uh, I have to tell you
something.

I can't say it.

Say what?

Don't say anything back, okay?

I don't want anything.

I just want you
to know the truth.

The truth about what?

I really like you.

Okay, I really like you, too.

No...

I mean...

I likeyou, like you.

I think I'm in love with you.

So, Ryan,

you're a working man now.

How's the job going?

Model homes,
calculators,

dudes in suits, I bet
that's pretty exciting stuff.

You'd be surprised.

So would Marissa.

Oh, and what's she been up to?

I don't know.
I'll ask her when I see her,

which hopefully will be tonight.

What's with all the questions?

Nothing, I'm just trying to
exhaust all your issues

so we can get to mine.

Have we covered
everything?

My biggest fear,
stated plainly.

What if Summer's being smart
changes our whole dynamic?

Why would it?

Because my intelligence

was the one quality
she admired in me.

It made me almost
a man in her eyes.

Come on, man.

That's not true.

You've got plenty of other
positive qualities.

You're uh, you're...
you're funny

when you want to be.

Have you noticed how Summer's
gotten a lot funnier lately?

I mean, I think she's
funnier than me now.

You're an expert
in comic books and Yakuza films.

Girls don't like that.

You know how
to work a grill.

I'm sorry, man,
I'm sorry.

I thought I would come up
with more, but the point is,

Summer doesn't want to be you.

She wants to be with you.

Right?

You want that, too. So...

Apologize, I know.

Yeah.

Where you going?

I've got to go
to Sandy's office.

I've got some apologizing
to do myself.

Give me a ride?

Why don't we have cars?

[ phone ringing]

SUMMER:
Don't answer it.

Johnny's going to think
I'm mad at him.

Maybe that's not
such a bad thing.

Look, he was in pain.

He took a bunch of pills.

He probably doesn't
even remember.

It's not a big deal.

Yeah, well, a Vicodin
love confession

is still a love confession.

I'm sure he didn't mean it.

I'm sure he did.

Why?

Because he told me

the night that I picked
you up from his place.

Why didn't you say anything?

He made me promise not to.

He said he wasn't
going to do anything

so he didn't want you to know.

Now I know.

What am I going to do?

Pretend you don't.

Maybe you should just stay
away from him for a while.

I've got to call Ryan.

Are you going to tell him?

[ knocking on door]

These guys won't
return my calls.

I can't even get a response,

much less schedule
another meeting.

Look, I am sorry.

Matt said he had it covered,
and I guess I believed him.

So did I.

You know, it makes no sense
for him to blow this off.

He's the one
who set up the meeting.

His girlfriend dumped him.

Why, 'cause he went
to the strip club?

Because he took
the job.

I guess it hit him pretty hard.

Oh, you're
breaking my heart.

He should have
said something.

Because he didn't
want anyone to know,

especially his boss.

Sorry for the drop by.

Wow, Matt must be some tipper.

Matt and I are friends
from college.

Yes, I went to college.

I'm dancing to pay
for law school.

But I don't
dance for Matt.

Mostly we talk.

About what?

Matt's been under
a lot of pressure

and not just work stuff.

I think he just kind of crashed
and burned.

Well, he couldn't have chosen
a worse time.

I know, and maybe none of
this makes any difference,

but Matt is a good guy.

And this job means
the world to him.

What if I told you I was the one

that put Matt in touch with
those investors?

And that I could get
you another meeting.

Is one your professor?

No, a customer.

Dad, Gloria, I'm heading over

to Seth's.

Hi, Seth.

Hey, I just came over
to apologize.

Me, too.

Well, no, I mean...

I'm listening.

Okay.

Look, I'm sorry I've
been such an ass, okay?

It's just you're so
superior to me

in so many
ways, you know?

You're better looking,
you're more popular,

you're stronger, and
not just emotionally.

Cohen.

I'll always look up to you.

And not just because
you're taller than me.

I am taller than you.

Mm-hmm.

You know, that guy from Brown,
he didn't say

that they couldn't take more
than one student from Harbor.

Hey, well, this
might be the year.

That's right.

Don't bother to try and make me
feel worse than I already do.

It's impossible.

You knew you
didn't do the work.

You knew you'd get caught.

You knew how I'd react.

You must have wanted
to get fired.

Right, since I'd have absolutely
nothing else going for me.

The next time you have
a problem, say something.

You need help?

Ask for it.

I'll remember that.

Be here at 8:00 a.m.

on Monday.

We'll give it another try.

You'd do that?

Yeah.

This is your last chance.
Don't screw it up.

You owe me big time.

Oh, hey, Julie.

How was your date?

Oh, it was awful.

We totally didn't click.

We had nothing to talk about,

and his tongue
was like sandpaper.

Sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry, I should
never have stayed.

It was so
unprofessional of me.

You made all that food
for nothing.

Well, it wasn't
for nothing.

We got paid.

In a way our first venture
was a success.

Yeah, I guess so.

How weird is it that a guy
would spent that much money

just to have dinner
with a woman?

Julie, I have an idea
for a new business.

Oh, my God.

High-class call girl
operation. I love it.

No!

A high-end dating service.

Oh.

That could work, too.

Hey, Johnny.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry, you're
on your way out.

I won't be long. I...

God, you must think I'm
some kind of stalker,

just showing up
here like this.

All my calls went
to voice mail, so...

Johnny, look, you don't
have to explain yourself.

You know, we can just
act like it didn't happen.

Those pills will really
mess with your head.

Believe me, I should know.

Look, Marissa, um, I didn't
mean to say those things.

But I did mean them.

I just don't want things
to get weird between us.

Oh, I think things already
are a little weird between us.

Well, we could still
be friends, right?

Of course.

I just...

I think maybe we need
to spend some time apart.

Okay?

Okay, if you get in and I
don't, you have to go, okay?

Because this
is your dream.

And if you get in
and I don't, same thing.

It's your dream now, too.

Whomever gets in,
I still love you.

And I still love you.

Actually it's
whoever gets in.

Because...

Ow!

Because the way,
what you're saying...

[ phone rings]

Hello?

Hi.

Hey, I was just calling you.

Where are you?

Summer's room.

No one's here.

You should have told me
you were coming over.

Then it wouldn't have been
a surprise.

Yeah, but then I wouldn't be
sitting here in the pool house.

Right.

You want me to come over there?

No, no, just talk to me.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

How was your weekend?

It was pretty strange.

I bet mine was stranger.

I doubt it, but you go ahead.

Okay, well, I mean, there's
no reason to be upset.

I'm the one that got
a lap dance.

You got a lap dance?

Well, maybe you should go first.

No, no, I interrupted you.

Please... please continue.

Um, okay, well,

there's something I want
to tell you about Johnny.

Ryan?

I'm listening.

Well, the other night when you
were supposed to come over...

I fell asleep at Johnny's.

Nothing happened.

We were just really tired.

But then the next night...
