All language subtitles for The O.C. (2006) - S03E22 - The College Try_track3_[eng]

Previously onThe O.C.:

Just promise me you're
going to quit this thing.

It's about more
than just the hospital.

I can't just quit. I'm an alcoholic.

Soon Marissa's going to wake up
and realize she is

so much better than you
and your life.

And you think she's going
to come running back to you?

KIRSTEN:
Our kids got into college,
it's a big day.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God, how did I not get in?

I'm not exactly sure that Brown
is the right choice for me.

We applied to Brown
so that we could be together.

I need to get Summer back

and I have to get into Brown.We need a plan?

It's gonna be
a long night, Ryan.

You taking all that?

You only own, like,
a wife beater and two hoodies.

I'm sorry, okay, I don't
know what people wear

to prospective students weekend,
so I just brought everything.

I'm packing light.
Want to be free and easy
for pre-frosh weekend.

Even though you're
not a pre-freshman?

It's called
"pre-frosh," Ryan,

and if I'm going to go there,
I need you to get the lingo.

Don't give me
that sideways look.

You were way into this plan
when we came up with it.

That's 'cause we only
had the beginning.

So, um...

you're going to fly
to Brown...

And then I will somehow
get them to admit me.

Yeah, I don't have the, uh,
the details yet, but...

Brown's a spiritual place.
I'll go, I'll get a vibe.

Maybe I'll bump into
the ghost of old man Brown

or whoever they named
the school after.

Seth, you know Summer's
going to be there.

I don't know that
for sure.

Every student at Harbor is going
to their college this weekend.

I'm sure she's
going to be there.

So, it's not like
we'll run into each other.

We're going to a land
of pasty Jewish kids.

For once, I'll
blend right in.

Yeah? And your flight?

Booked a ticket connecting
through Chattanooga.

Totally inconvenient,
no way she'll be on it.

Look, I just don't want
to see you get deeper
into this mess, okay?

Dude, you're going to Berkeley
with your ex-girlfriend.

You ready to go?
College calls.

Uh, yeah.
Think we're all set.

Just think...the next time we
send you two off like this,

it'll be for real.

I'll only be
a few hours away.

What about you, going all
the way to the East Coast?

If I wasn't so proud of you,
I'd be angry at you for...

All right, all right,
we got planes to catch.

Okay, let's go.

Where's Sandy?

Uh, he had an early meeting.
He said to say good-bye.

That's weird, the man lives
for the airport sendoff.

Well, I guess it was
an important meeting.

All right, well,
my gate's this way.

Call when you get there.

Yeah.

All right,
bring it in.

We can save the hug
for later.
Yeah, okay.

See you Sunday.
Okay.

And what about you?
Are you okay?

Uh, I'm a little
nervous actually.

Ryan, Berkeley's going
to be a breeze.

I mean, you conquered Newport,

and this town isn't exactly
known for its hospitality.

Yeah, but I had you and
I had Seth and Sandy.

Hey, you did this. You earned
your future. Enjoy it.

All right, thanks.

Have a wonderful time

and call when you get there.

Okay, I will.

Hey.

Hey, Theresa.

Here you go.

I'll take that.

♪ Right back where
we started from ♪

♪ California...
California... ♪

Can I borrow
that sparkly scarf?

Sure.

What am I thinking?

Kids at Brown don't
wear sparkly scarves.

Maybe on my way
to the airport,

I'll stop and get some kind
of angry-looking piercing.

Sum, you should just
dress like yourself.

[ sighs]

This is all wrong.

What, the scarf?

No, this, all of this.

Me going to Brown without Cohen.

You going to Berkeley
without Ryan.

I'm going
to Berkeley with Ryan,

I'm just not going withhim.

Yeah, which is even weirder.

Well, maybe it's
a blessing in disguise.

You know, this way we're
forced to focus on the future.

And we can start doing
that this weekend.

Hmm, big talk coming
from the girl

who chucked her acceptance
letter in the garbage.

Yeah, well, I was going
through something.

Is "something" code
for having an affair

with an almost homeless
surfer dude?

And does your past tense
imply it's over?

Look, whatever I was
doing with Volchok...

I don't need details.

I'm not doing it anymore.

In fact, after today, I probably
won't ever see him again.

What do you mean after today?

Well, he texted me to say
I left some stuff at his place,

and I told him I would stop by
and pick it up before I left.

Hmm, no, you won't.

Saying your
last good-bye

with his dirty mattress
in plain sight?

That is breakup sex
waiting to happen.

Have you no faith in me at all?

48 hours ago, Coop, you were
Newport's Courtney Love.

Baby steps.

Fine.

I'll just tell him
to meet me at the diner.

You know what?

You should take this
with you to Brown.

They're going to love you,

just so long as
you be yourself.

Talk about clichéd advice.

I can say things like that,

now that I'm smart.

Hey.

Hey. You sure you don't want
a ride to the airport now?

Oh, no, we got it.

But we could
use your muscle

to help get our bags
in the trunk.

Muscle.
Guess I still got it.

Mm-hmm.

Marissa, honey, you know,
it's not too late for me
to go with you.

I promise, I wouldn't
embarrass you.

I could pretend to be
part of your entourage,

or your Scientology guide.

Mom, you don't have
to worry, okay?

Kids go crazy at college.
You've seen Girls Gone Wild.

Yeah, I lived it.

Not the topless part.

But don't worry, I've got all
that partying out of my system.

I really do want something
different from this.

Well, the Cooper women
do have nine lives.

I'm just glad you're on
to your next one.

NEIL:
Summer's waiting.
Bye, Marissa.

Bye. I'll see you guys
in a few days.

Bye, Mom.

Have fun.

Okay, did a priest just break
in here and perform an exorcism?

I don't know, but she's
definitely out of the woods.

Well, it's just you
and me this weekend.

What should we do?
I could call the Montage.

I can't, darling.

I've got that dinner
tomorrow night.

Retirement party for
the head of surgery.

Oh, right, well, then,
thank God for Netflix.

Julie, are you ever going to
come to one of these with me?

Why? So the women can gossip
about me after I leave?

Now why would anyone want
to gossip about you?

Honey,
I don't get it.

You throw all of these parties
for the dating service.

Well, I have Kirsten then.
She's my wing woman.

So, invite Kirsten and Sandy.

He can network with the doctors,
and she can... wing woman.

It'd mean a lot to me.

Then I'm there.

Ryan Atwood.
Oh, hey.

Sorry I'm late, man.No, no worries.

Wes Siefert,
your freshman buddy.

Yeah, nice to meet you.

You need a hand?No, no, I'm good.

Trust me,
we've seen better days.

Come on, I'll show
you the dorm.
Okay.

Hope you don't mind
an inflatable mattress.

No, sounds good.

I saw on your profile
you're from Newport.

Did you go to Harbor.

Uh, yeah,
you know it?

Yeah, a few guys in my
poly-sci club went there.

You play water polo?

Uh, no, no. You know what?

Actually, I'm not
really fromNewport.

I mean, I am, but up
until the last two years,

I was, uh,
I was living in Chino.

Uh, I guess I figured I needed
to get that out of the way.

I think you'll be okay.

What do you mean?

I got one roommate
from Bangladesh,

the other one's
from Partridge, Kansas,

population 300.

So, there's no mold here.

It's pretty easy
to fit in.

Ah, I guess I'm not
really used to that.

Hey.

Summer's waiting

and I've got
a plane to catch.

So do you have my stuff?

No.

What? Why?

Tell me why you all of
a sudden up and bailed.

I really never thought of you
as the possessive type.

I just want
to know what happened.

It's what you already know.

You and me, we have
nothing in common.

Right.

You got money and I don't.

Same old story.

No, it's not like that.

You really
want to know?

When I was little,
my sister and I

used to always watch
The Sound of Music.

Yeah, sorry, I must
have missed that one.

Okay, well, there's
this girl in it, Liesl,

and I always used to think

I was going to grow up
to be just like her.

You know, I'd have
the really cute boyfriend,

that looked like her boyfriend.

And our lives would be
just like the scene

where they're...
they're standing in the gazebo

and singing
to each other.

Then I grew up, and...

and I found myself doing coke
and sleeping with a guy

who I'd never had one
real conversation with.

I know it sounds cheesy,

but I'm just not ready to give
up on the Sound of Musicthing.

Not yet.

Well, good luck with that.

I'll be sure
to drop off your stuff.

SANDY:
No, it's not going to be
a problem, I promise you.

Look... Hey, hey, hey.

Let me get back
to you, all right?

I was just about
to get some lunch.

You want to go out?

Uh, I only
have a minute.

I am so sorry about
the other night.

I tried to call you.

I came about something else.

When I was at the airport
this morning,

I saw Ryan's
ex-girlfriend Theresa.

How's she doing?

She had a baby with her, a boy,
looked about two.

You think it might be Ryan's?

I think it's possible.

You spoke to her?
No.

Well, then for all you know,

he could be her
cousin or her nephew.

I saw the way she was with him,

the way she picked him up--
she's a mother.

Yeah, well, she told Ryan
that she lost their baby,

so what are you saying,
she lied?

I just think we should
tell him what I saw.

We've always been honest with
him, that's why he trusts us.

Oh, honey, let's
keep it to ourselves.

At least until he gets back.

Hey, man, how's Berkeley?

It's cold and wet
and pretty cool.

I can't believe I'm actually
on a college campus.

Ryan, I am touching ivy
right now.

What?

Real ivy.

It grows on the buildings here.

Those pictures in the brochure--
they are not Photoshopped.

Ah! I take it you're in the
middle of the quad right now?

Yeah. Dead center.

Pretty stuff. I can't imagine
anyone actually seeing you there

I know, I know.
It's a Summer haunt,

but I had to come visit campus
for a few minutes.

And it's perfect?

Man, it's better than perfect.

Seth Cohen has come home
to roost.

Cohen?

Who's that?

I don't know.

I'm too afraid to turn around.

Anna?

So... Newport
v. Pittsburgh.

Who would win
in a Smackdown?

For me, Pittsburgh.

Come on.
You miss Newport.

Uh-uh.

The sun and the surf.

The surgery.

They have not
perfected

the chin implant
in Pittsburgh,

but I am optimistic.

Mocking Newport
with Anna Stern.

That is one of my
favorite pastimes.

Mine, too. But I did
get a small taste

when Atomic County
came out.

Hey, you saw my comic?

I was so proud of you.

Thanks.

But I do have a few notes on my
character Punky Spitfire.

Okay.And that V CAST
was hilarious.

What the hell
is a V CAST?

You don't know? I thought it was
your comic.

Oh. Yeah, it was,

but I traded it to a guy
named Zach Stevens

in exchange for Summer.

How romantic.

How are you guys?

Great. Uh... yeah, great.

Great.

Great.

Tell her I say hi.

I will.

I wouldn't want her
to get the wrong idea

about us bumping into
each other out here.

I know, it does kind
of seem like fate.

Yeah.

Not exactly.

Oh, ouch.No.

What I mean is--

and, um, the only other person
who knows this is Ryan, so...

I am not officially
admitted here.

You didn't get in?!

[ whispers]:
Shut up.

No, I didn't.
That's why I'm

out here this weekend,
I'm trying to get in.

And how do you
plan on doing that?

I haven't quite
nailed that down yet,

but now that I've run into you,
who, if I remember correctly,

is not only sage but wise.

And you want me to come up
with some hair-brained scheme

to, what, smuggle
you into college?

Yes, please. For me?

Listen, it's fate.

You said it yourself.

All right.

There's a Meet the Faculty
reception here tonight.

I assume Dr. Overbee
will be there.

That's the admissions dude.

You can try talking to him.

And I will say what?

You're the one who flew
all the way out here,

because you want to go here
so badly. Don't you think
that you should

come up with that
speech yourself?

What are you doing
tomorrow night?

Uh...No plans? Good.

You're going to Neil's
dinner with all the doctors.

Sandy can do some recruiting
for the new hospital.

You and I can sit in
the corner and gossip.

A fun time will
be had by all.

Actually, I'm busy.

Kiki...

[ door closes]All you ever do is
sit in this house

and drink tea.

I mean, what's
the real reason?

Sandy and I have hit
a bit of a rough patch.

Oh.

What happened?

It's complicated.
Suffice it to say,

I'm not a huge fan
of this hospital project.

Hmm.

Well, are you a huge fan of me?

'Cause, you know,
I'm just saying,

if you need a reason to go,
you're looking at one.

You don't need me to do this.

Yeah, Kirsten, I do.

You know, ever since Caleb died,
the only way I've been able

to navigate through these
Newpsie-infested waters

is with you
by my side.

Please, Kirsten.

I want Dr. Roberts'
doctor friends to like me.

Fine.

But I'm only
doing this for you.

Thank you.

I owe you one.

Or, you know,
maybe it's more than one.

But who's counting?

Okay, see you tomorrow.

MIGUEL:
So your dad's in jail?

Yeah, yeah.

I've got a dad, one brother
and two uncles locked up.

You win.

Miguel's the first in his family
to go to college, too.

Really?Mm-hmm.

Let me ask you,
ever feel out of place here?

Oh, all the time.

But, look, as long as
I keep my grades up, I figure,

I belong here
as much as anyone else.

One day, Wes here is gonna
get my brother out of jail.

Yeah, Supreme Court Justice.

WES:
That's just a pipe dream.

I'll be happy if I pass

the bar.No, that's amazing.

Oh, speaking of amazing.

And she's headed this way.

MARISSA:
Hi.
Hi.

You two know each other?

We were in the same class.

Yeah, at Harbor.

Uh, this is Miguel.

Hi.

And Wes,
my freshman buddy.

Yeah, speaking of buddies,
where's yours?

Oh, mine is a vegan,
and she's boycotting this,

'cause of the turkey
on your plate.

What can you do, right?

So you're
all alone, huh?

Yeah, but I'm fine, no worries.

See you guys around.

Okay, there's definitely
a story there.

Oh, yeah.And it's not "We went
to Harbor together."

Yeah, yeah, we dated, on and off
for two and a half years.

That'll do it.Yeah.

She seems nice.

And lonely.

Well, listen, if you want
to go talk to her...

Hey, hey, she's your ex,
I'm your buddy.

Not a good mix.

RYAN:
No, honestly.

I'm gonna be
in college with her,

so I've got to get used to it.

RYAN:
Really, go for it.Sure you don't mind?

No.

So... let me

tell you about
Rush week.

Hi.

Okay, look,
there he is--

Dr. Overbee,
Head of Admissions.

What? What?

Nothing, I'm just
looking around.

Why are you acting
like a fugitive?

Uh, no, no, I'm just trying
to stay under the radar.

You never know who's
gonna be at these things.

Well, focus.

Have you thought about
what you're gonna say to him?

Uh, probably just gonna riff.

You know?
Uh, we're both dudes.

I mean, even though
he's got a bow tie

and probably like nine Ph.D.s,

underneath, I'm sure
we're pretty much the same.

Could you maybe think
of some talking points?

Okay, shh. He's by himself.
This is my moment.

Dr. Overbee.

Hi.Hi.

The fact is, the U.S.
has been performing

its own jihads
for decades.

Just instead of Allah,

the killing is done
in the name of oil.

Totally.

Hmm.

You guys, what is a jihad?

Exactly.

Way to reframe
the question, Summer.

Hmm.

OVERBEE:
What was your name again?

SETH:
Seth Cohen.

You may remember me from my
application essay on Superman.

Lonely guy, Superman.

I don't recall it at the moment,

but if you're here today,
I trust it was exceptional.

Yeah, about that.
Do you have a minute?

You maybe want to take
a walk, stretch your legs?

I'm sorry, this is a faculty
reception, I have to be here.

I should make the rounds.

It was nice to meet you.Dr. Overbee,
please.

I really need to talk to you.

If you can't do it now,
name the time and place.

All I need is five minutes.

I suppose I could see you here
tomorrow around 5:00?

Great, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

SUMMER:
Cohen?

Oh, hey.

What's going on?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Ah... Providence in spring,
can't beat it.

So you are going to Brown.

You just didn't
want to come with me.

How'd it go?

Anna.

Summer.

You're probably really confused
right about now.

No, not at all.

All of this, everything
you've done up until now,

finally makes sense.

So you and Ryan
dated for how long?

Couple years.

But we've both been with
other people since then.

It's not exactly normal yet,
but we're working on it.

So where is
Ryan anyway?

Tour of
the architecture building.

I never set foot in there, so I
couldn't really show him around.

Where do you hang out?

Poly-sci building.

Sexy, right?

It's my major.

I'm just hoping it gets me
into law school.

My dad was a poly-sci major.

Oops.

No, you kind of remind me
of him a little bit.

The good parts, at least.

Well, if that's a compliment,
I'll take it.

It is.

One second.

Hey.

Hi.

I didn't know
you were gonna be here.

Yeah, I hope
it's not weird that I am.

I don't really know

what the rules are between us.

Oh, me either.

So I know
the whole friendship thing

didn't really work out
in Newport, but...

That was Newport, you know?

Everything feels different here.

I'm willing to try.

Hmm. Well, I don't know.

You know, 'cause if I was
in your circle of friends,

I might accidentally let it slip
that you used to do musicals.

I have enough dirt on you
to last the next

four years,
so bring it on.

That might be true.

Anyway, you want to come
sit with me and Wes?

I want to hear about
your architecture tour.

Really?[ laughs]:
Yeah.

Yeah?

Seth, it's okay.

I'm sorry, I should have told
you I was on a Summer mission.

Yeah, well,
I should have known it.

But I can't be mad at you
when you're this pathetic.

Thank you.

Now stop wallowing,
and let's figure out

how we're gonna
get you out of this.

Why do you want to help me?

It's the pathetic thing.

It really works on me.

Okay, look, here's a list of
tomorrow's pre-frosh activities.

Try and figure out which
ones Summer might go to.

I don't know. She's never
been much of a joiner.

Maybe the walking tour,
she likes cardio.

Oh, good, you can go to
that, you can talk to her.

But now we've
got to figure out

what you're gonna
say to Dr. Overbee.

I don't know.

If he didn't like
my Superman essay, I'm out.

Seth, you flew all this
way to win her back.

Now have you five minutes with
Dr. Overbee to make it happen.

We're gonna write the speech.

What have I done
the last two years without you?

Honestly...

I don't know.

Hey. I got your message
about the hospital dinner.

Tomorrow night.
Can you make it?

Absolutely.
Maybe I can get

some of these doctors excited
about the new hospital.

[ phone rings]

Hey!

Ryan!

How are my old stomping grounds?

[ chuckles]

I'm happy
to hear that.

Hey, listen,
you know what?

I got a call that
I got to take here.

It's work. I'm going to
hand you off to Kirsten,

all right?
Have fun.

Hello.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, Kirsten, it's, um,
it's actually kind of amazing.

How are you?

Fine. I'm good, fine.

You don't sound fine.

Don't be silly.

Tell me more about college.

Kirsten, what's going on?

It can wait till you get home.

Okay, so there is something.

It's really... it-it's not...
it's not important.

Then you won't mind telling me
what is it.

I-I don't want you to overreact

because that's probably
what I am doing.

[ takes deep breath]

I saw Theresa at the airport.

She had a baby with her.

It looked like her son.

An-And you think?

I don't know what I think.

[ sighs deeply]

So, if you have
any questions...

ANNA:
There she is.

Now, remember, you're just
gonna tell her the truth.

Right.
Yes.

Okay, all of it.

[ sighing]

Jennifer, Heather,
you guys all right?

Summer, can I
talk to you?

Just leave me alone, Cohen.

Hey, everyone. Hello.

My name is Jack.

I'm a sophomore here at Brown,
and I'll be leading

this walking tour.

So long
as everyone's got their

name tags, we can get started.

Look, I want to explain
to you about everything.

[ clears throat]

Uh, you in the, uh,
striped shirt--

do you have a name tag?

Uh... yeah.

Yeah, I do.
I'm all set.

Kumar? Your-Your name is Kumar?

Yes.

Kumar Zimmerman.

I'm half Indian,
I am half Jewish.

I am a Hin-Jew.

Well, good, good then.

All right.

Um, well,

come, everyone,
right this way.

Now to our left,

we've got
the main dining hall...

Ever since we got our
acceptance letters,

I've been acting like
a freak, I know that.

Does this tour offer
an audio option?

You know, like when you get
headsets at the museum?

No.

To the right, we have...

Summer, you can't
just ignore me forever.

Oh, yes, I can. Don't you
remember middle school?

I was really good
at ignoring you.

Now, I'm just
getting back into shape.

Look, I promise you, I did not
know Anna was going to be here.

Hey, Kumar. Kumar, do you
want to keep it down?

Yeah, sorry.

You're probably wondering
about the Kumar thing.

Uh, again, if you
let me explain,

I promise you it
will all make sense.

Oh, no. It already
makes sense, okay?

I don't need any explanation.You don't?

You broke up with me
'cause you wanted

to be free to date smart women
in college.

You got quite the head start.

Summer, that is so not it.

Look, you already ruined
senior year for me.

There's nothing
I can do about that now.

I'm not going
to let you ruin college, too.

Now will you please
just leave me alone? Please!

[ mumbles, then sighs]

Hi.Ryan.

I couldn't stay.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't
have told you.

No, no. I'm glad you did.

It's funny.

In a way,
I was kind of expecting it.

I mean, for once
things were uncomplicated.

How long could that last, right?

Well, maybe it's not.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Whatever is going on
with Theresa,

we'll get to the bottom of it.

I did some research
on the Internet,

and I found her address.

Oh, great, thanks.

I'm going to put this
in the pool house.

Ryan,

no matter what happens,
we're behind you.

Dr. Overbee, you made it.

Yes.

Well, as I said, I've
only got five minutes.

Sure, sure, okay.

You're a busy guy, and I
have a tendency to ramble,

which is why I've
prepared this statement.

[ clears throat]

Dr. Overbee, the following
is a list of reasons

why I should have
gotten into Brown.

Wait a minute.
You didn't get in?

No, I didn't, but
only because I'm sure

there was some sort
of clerical error,

or maybe a
human error.

Maybe the
computer froze.

Mr. Cohen,
I was under the impression

you were an admitted student.

That's why I came
to meet you.I know.

But will you please
just listen to me,

and if you still don't want
to let me in, at least

I'll know I tried?

Okay.

You have one minute.

[ clears throat]

Then I'm going to have to
sort of, uh, condense this,

maybe make it more of
a bullet point thing.

Um... Mm-hmm.

Grades-- 3.8. Hmm?
Uh, SATs-- 2250.

That's not perfect, but I
would say it's respectable.

I was President of
the Comic Book Club.

I was also a member
of the chess team, although

I was extremely
low-profile about it.

30 seconds.

Okay. Now, here's the part
about how I belong

on the East Coast, and...

[ laughs]

This is a little joke
about the weather here,

just to keep it light.

It's pretty funny.

And, uh...

I guess that's about it.

That was compelling.

But you misled me,

and you wasted my time.

So now I trust
you'll show yourself off campus.

Dr. Overbee,

I have to
get in here.

Okay? And it's not just because
I love it,

although I do, I truly... I do.

It's because of a girl.

Her name is Summer Roberts,
and she's going here,

and if I don't get in,
I'm going to lose her,

and the rest of my life
is going to be ruined.

So this is about a girl?

Yes.

It's about thegirl.

Do you get it?

I do.

But we make commitments
when we send out those letters,

and for better or for worse,
we stick to them.

Please?

I wish I could help you,

but you're going to have
to do this yourself.

Good luck.

Ryan,

I thought you weren't
getting home until tomorrow.

Uh, Kirsten didn't tell you?No, no, she didn't.

Yeah, I kind of figured I needed
to get home and deal with this.

Right, right, of course.

You know, in case
it turns out to be...

We'll cross that bridge
if and when we come to it.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

All right.

You told him.

I didn't think he'd come home.

Well, you know Ryan
better than that.

It just happened,

you weren't there,
you had to take a business call.

Oh, so you told Ryan
about Theresa to punish me?

I told him because he asked,
because he has a right to know.

Theresa hasn't demanded anything
of him, why should we?

Being a father is important.

Being a family is important.

There was a time when
you'dbe making this argument.

What's that supposed to mean?

You know what I'm talking about.

I know that we have to talk
about this some more,

and I can't right now.

I got to go back to the office
before dinner.

It'll have to wait, fine.

[ throws laundry on bed]

Oh, hey.

Hey.Here, let me help you.

Thank you.

Oh, thanks.

Oh...Staying dry?

Yeah.

[ groans]

Here.Thanks.

So, we are having some people
back to our place later.

You want to come by?

Oh, well, I was supposed to go
to a freshman barbecue,

but considering the rain,
I could be persuaded otherwise.

Good. You'll come over then.

Hey, where's Ryan?

Uh, left this morning.

He went home?

Yeah, some family emergency.

Uh, it didn't seem like
he wanted to talk about it, so,

I didn't push it.

Well, I should call him.

Or shouldn't I?

I don't know.
Should I give him space?

It's not easy being friends
with your ex, is it?

[ laughs]

Look, you know Ryan
better than I do,

but seems like
whatever was happening,

it was private.

He'll tell you if he wants.

I guess so.

Well, this thing
is getting heavy.

[ laughs]:
Is that a hint?

Thank you.
Yeah, thanks.

Here.

Here, I'll switch.

Okay, here.

There we go.

Hi. I-I'm looking for Theresa.
Is she home?

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Diaz
won't be home until later.

Can I help you?

I'm... Ryan Atwood.
I'm an old friend.

Ooh.

Say hi, Daniel.

Hi, Daniel.

This is Theresa's kid, huh?

Yeah. She's a terrific mom.

I'll be sure to tell her
that you stopped by.

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

[ clears throat]

Excuse me.

Having a good time?

Yeah. It seems
like everyone is.

Yeah, wait till tomorrow.

Come Sunday, all these people
will be fighting

for study carrels
in the library.

That's got to be tough.

Not everyone
can handle it.

I couldn't anyway.

You? Please.

You're like the
model freshman.

Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

You should have seen me
last year.

The truth is,

this is my second stab
at freshman year.

Last go around
didn't go so well.

Why, what happened?

Uh, let's see.

1.5 GPA,

too much partying.

Went home after a few months.

Realized I had to
figure out what I
wanted from college.

I never would have guessed.

Well, not all pre-freshman
are as gung ho as you.

You bought that?

What, that was an act?

Well, it wouldn't have been
two years ago.

I was the girl on yearbook,
charity league, social chair--

whatever my mom
told me to do.

I got straight As...

sometimes a "B" in math,

but my dad was a whiz,
so he'd help me.

And then on the weekends,

I rode my little sister's
pony for fun.

I even won
some blue ribbons.

And then... what happened?

Well, my dad lost
all his money...

the pony lost all its hair,

and my mom
kind of lost her mind.

Also, I got kicked
out of school,

and my friend died.

I guess everything happened.

And then at some point,

I just... stopped being the girl
who belonged at college...

or anywhere, for that matter.

Everyone belongs somewhere.

Maybe not everyone.

Maybe some people just get lost.

I won't know anything
till I talk to Theresa.

I'm just...
just going to have to wait.

Yeah, well, not to worry.
I'm on the next flight home.

I'm just waiting on my cab.

Seth, you don't have to come
home early on my account.

Oh, there are a lot of reasons,
trust me.

See you when I get home.

Get in.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you giving me a ride
to the airport?

Eventually.

My plane leaves
in, like, an hour or so.

Well, that is
just enough time

to make a quick
stop at RISD.

You mean the Rhode Island
School of Design?

Uh-huh.

You're going to apply,

and this is your
application.

Where'd you get this?

I, uh... I had my mom FedEx it.

You know, just in case
The Ironist failed

and Dr. Overbee didn't go
for the quick quips

and pop-culture-laden bromides.

No, I have an in
there: my cousin.

Anna...

Hmm? If you get in,

you'll be in the
same state as Summer,

and the good news is,
it is a very small state.

I know, I know,
but that's, like,

one of the best art schools
in the country,

and as much as I love the
face-to-face college rejection,

I think I should just cut
my losses on this one.

Cohen.

Yeah?

Confidence, remember?

Right.

Good. All right,
we're going to RISD.

JULIE:
Kiki, you made it.

NEIL:
Hey, here's the
man of the hour.

It's good
to see you, Neil.Hi.

Hey, Julie.Hey.

Kirsten, you look lovely.Thank you.

Would you ladies excuse us? Some
doctors want to meet this fella.

That'd be great.
Excuse me.

Uh-oh, what's wrong?

Long story.

Oh...

and now you have
to watch him

work the crowd all night,
and it's because of me.

No, Julie, it's okay.
I wouldn't have bailed on you.

Okay, well, then let
me return the favor.

Come on, let's go hide
out by the crab dip.

Maybe we could flirt with
one of the bartenders.

[ chuckles]

Hi.Hey.

I just wanted to see
if you were okay.

Yeah. You, uh...
you bailed early, too, huh?

Yeah.

Come in.

So Berkeley didn't
live up to the hype?

Yeah, well, it's
not really Berkeley's fault.

I was sort of asking
a lot of it.

To take you away
from every problem
you've ever had here?

Something like that.

So, you don't have
to tell me, but...

Oh, it's Theresa.

She did have a baby.

Oh, my God.

I haven't talked
to her yet,

so I'm not sure...

if I'm the father or not.

Well, what makes you think
you're the father and not Eddie?

Uh, because when I was
at Berkeley, I...

I just felt like I was living
somebody else's life,

and, um, then I heard
the news, and...

I don't know.

It's like, boom,
back to being me.

But when you were at Berkeley,
it felt right, didn't it?

I could see it
on your face.

Yeah, yeah, it did.

Well, then you'll get
back there...

no matter what happens
with Theresa.

[ fork clinking on glass]

Hello, everyone.

As the new guy in these circles,
I'd like to thank Neil and Julie

for inviting us
here tonight,

and I'd like
to welcome you all

to lend your talent

and expertise
to the new hospital,

because I am going to need
all the help I can get.

As you know,
behind every successful man

is a very
surprised woman.

I'd like you to meet the former
head of the Newport Group

and really the brains
behind the organization,

my lovely wife,
Kirsten Cohen.

Hear, hear.

Kirsten, how do
you think your
husband is doing

running the
Newport Group?

I guess she's still surprised.

I'd like to propose a toast.

To Sandy Cohen...

...who has told me countless
times over the last year

how important
this hospital is to him.

Ouch.

You know, they say
that when you grow up,

you marry your father.

I thought I'd escaped that.

Seth is going to Brown,
and he's dating Anna?

I know! Is your brain exploding?

A little.

How did he explain himself?

He didn't.

Okay, well, he tried to,
but you know how I get, Coop.

The rage makes it hard to talk,
let alone listen.

Well, I mean,
don't assume anything

until you hear
what he has to say.

You don't know for sure
they're dating.

[ scoffs]

So how was Berkeley?
Was it amazing?

Yeah. I mean, it could be...

if I was ready for it.

I just don't know that I am.

Well, I believe in you, Coop.

I'll see you
in eight short hours, okay?

Okay. Bye.

I am beyond happy

for you right now.

I'm like, uh,
Christmas-morning,

won-the-lottery
level happy for you.

Well, the RISD guy
only said he was impressed.

Mm-mm, he said
very impressed,

and in scenarios
like these,

verys are important.

Well, if I get in,
it's all 'cause of you.

No.

It's your comic book.

And your plane's
about to leave.

Well, thank you, really.

All right.Okay.

[ door shuts quietly]

THERESA:
Ryan.

Hi.

I don't know how you found me.

Uh, look, I just need to know.

He's not yours, Ryan.

Eddie's the father.

We got a paternity
test and everything.

I'm sorry that I wasn't
honest with you,

but I saw how your
life opened up

when you met the
Cohens, and I...

Is Eddie helping you out?

Are you kidding?
That bum.

I would've, you know,
for what it's worth.

I know that.Even if it hadn't
have been mine.

I know, that's why
I didn't tell you.

But believe it or not,
I'm doing okay on my own.

Yeah, seems like it.Yeah.

I saw the apartment.

Yeah, I got a job
at this hotel,

and then I got promoted,

and I got promoted
again and again,

and suddenly, I have
myself a career.

And a kid: Daniel.

Yeah.How is he?

How much time do you have?

I don't know.

You want to go grab a bite
and tell me about him?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Yeah?Yeah.

It's good to see
you again, Ryan.

Yeah, it's good
to see you.
