Opening scene - The Bait Shop - the first thing we see is random people dancing, drinking and having a good time then up on the balcony we see Summer and Seth standing together, they are both watching something
Summer: he’s leaning forward indicating all focus is on her
(we see what or should I say who Summer is referring to, it’s Sadie and Ryan sitting together and just as Summer said Ryan is leaning towards Sadie)
Summer: see how her palms are facing up that means that she’s open to what he’s communicating, Star Magazine what stars body language is really saying
Seth: well I've talkedto the guy an what Ryan is really saying is he an Sadie are just taking it slow
(we see another shot of Ryan and Sadie. Sadie runs her hand down Ryan’s arm and takes his hand in hers)
Summer: oh no, bodies don’t lie (Ryan kisses Sadie’s hand) I'm sounding out a hot new couple alert
(we see Ryan and Sadie stand up and head over to where Summer and Seth are, still holding hands)
Summer: act like you know nothing (looks away)
Seth: I don’t (looks away)
Ryan: hey so uh I think we're gonna head out
Seth: alright we'll go with ya
Ryan: nnn no its fine just uh stay here
Sadie: ill get him home safe (smiles)
Ryan: (wraps his arms around Sadie’s waist as she walks in front) ah huh (Sadie laughs)
Seth: (frowns) alright so there into each other
Summer: you know what I’m actually happy for them
Seth: an you don’t feel weird about Marissa cause even id feel a little weird about Marissa for you
Summer: no, id feel weird about Marissa if I saw Marissa
Seth: I thought she was stayin at your house now that your parents are hookin up on the high seas
Summer: (frowns) no she’s ben sleeping at the trailer, this break up has hit her hard she said she needs timeto process her feelings an heal in solitude
(all of a sudden Seth has a suprised/shocked expression on his face and we see why, Marissa is downstairs with Volchok's surfing buddies, one of them hands her beers)
Seth: or party with two hundred sweaty teens
Summer: what (looks down)
(we see Marissa go over to Volchok and hand him a beer. Volchok puts his arm around Marissa’s shoulder while Marissa drinks and then he kisses her on the side of the head, Marissa almost smiles. we see Seth and Summers shocked expressions and then we see Marissa and Volchok again, Volchok has his hand up the back of Marissa’s top and they are kissing pretty intensely)
Summer: oh my god (screws up face) ugh
Seth: so if the body doesn’t lie (squints)
Summer: then it’s saying eww
(we see more of Marissa and Volchok kissing. Volchok has his hand on Marissa’s backside)
Seth: eww, or touch my pooper
(Summer looks at Seth unamused)
Theme song - California by Phantom Planet
Julie's trailer, next morning - the first thing we see is how messy it is, there are food and drink related items everywhere, dirty dishes, pizza boxes, half empty bottles of alcohol etc then the camera shows us that Volchok and Marissa are asleep on the couch together. Volchok is shirtless and Marissa is in her underwear, her head is in the crook of Volchok’s arm, about the only semi sweet thing about the whole thing. at this point we hear a bang on the door and Summers voice
Summer: (calls) Coop (bangs) it's me your best friend (Marissa and Volchok stir) you know the one that you tell everything to
Volchok: (screws up face) damn my head
Marissa: (sits up) whoa what time is it
Summer: (bangs again) I know it’s not big in there my voice travels (bangs repeatedly)
(Marissa pushes Volchok’s legs aside and sits on the edge of the couch, Volchok sits around)
Marissa: um ok y-you gotta hide
(Marissa takes a bong and a beer bottle from the table)
Volchok: (scoffs) what, you live in a trailer
Summer: (yells) Coop! (bangs repeatedly, getting frustrated)
Marissa: (calls) I’m coming Sum (to Volchok) here take these
(Marissa hands two beer bottles and the bong to Volchok, he holds them to his chest)
Marissa: an-an this (hands Volchok two more alcohol bottles) go
(Volchok, arms full of everything Marissa gave him slowly side steps towards the bedroom area)
Summer: Coop (bangs) my hand doesn’t remotely hurt (bangs repeatedly)
(inside Marissa quickly throws Volchok’s shirt on over her underwear)
Summer: (calls) Coop!
Marissa: (opens door) hey
Summer: hi (looks at Marissa’s shirt) lookin good Coop (Marissa looks down at herself) (frowns) look very Kate Moss pre Vanity Fair cover (Marissa looks at her) what'cha doin (pokes head inside)

Marissa: yeah
Summer: huh synopsis' really firing huh
Marissa: I think I have a bit of a head cold
Summer: well as long as you don’t have any other infectious diseases (smiles at Marissa)
(we hear Marissa’s cell phone ring)
Marissa: what (squints)
Summer: (frowns) hm
Marissa: hang on
(Marissa goes over to the counter and picks up her phone, she looks at who is calling before she answers)
Marissa: (sighs) hey

Julie: (with accent, cheery) hola Marissa, es su Madre
>Marissa: hi mom
(we hear Summers cell phone ring, she answers it)
Summer: (frowns) hello
(we see Neil also in a car)
Neil: hey, how’s my girl
(we see Marissa and Summer both on their phones still)
Summer: hi daddy (looks at Marissa)
(we now see that Neil and Julie are in the car together, both on the phone to their daughters)
Julie: so we're back from our trip
Summer: did you guys have a good time
Neil: it was wonderful, can you have dinner with us tonight
Marissa: (frowns) uh fine, um what time

Summer: I think your gonna need a little bit more than that
(Marissa walks into the bedroom just as Volchok lights the bong she gave to him to hide)
Volchok: mm come here (motions) its cherry
Marissa: look you gotta go
(we hear the sound of bubbles and then Volchok goes over and kisses Marissa for a few seconds, when they stop kissing Marissa coughs out smoke and then keeps coughing)
Volchok: swig an bake baby, always cures a hangover
(Marissa looks at Volchok in disbelief)
CUT TO: Cohen kitchen - Seth is in there and Ryan comes in from outside, whistling

Sandy: oh, good mood huh
Ryan: yeah well (huge smile at Seth)
Sandy: things must be workin out with this girl

CUT TO: Johnny’s house - Ryan and Sadie are there together
Sadie: so we're a couple thousand feet short of a Mc Mansion but hopefully someone'll take it
Ryan: yeah well with that sales pitch who could resist
Sadie: are you saying you find me irresistible (smiles)
(Sadie is leaning up against the wall directly opposite the new breakfast bar. Ryan is standing in front of her with his hand above her head and they kiss. Ryan has his hand on her waist and she has her hand on the side of his neck/cheek, then Ryan moves his hand to the side of her neck and she moves hers to the side of his waist)
Sadie: (pulls away) mm paint smell ? on the way over its romantic an all but um

CUT TO: Harbor school - Seth and Summer are in the student lounge playing a video game, Summer is actually playing at the moment and Seth is watching her
Summer: you didn’t mention a word to Ryan
Seth: spoil his good mood, he practically skipped outta the kitchen
Summer: Atwood skipping now there’s a disturbing an odd visual
Seth: picture this one, Ryan (squints) dancing, its what this woman doesto him an if we wanna keep the skip in his step we've gotta keep Volchok off his radar
Summer: gah (referring to the game) you play (points)
(Summer stands up and Seth sits down)
Summer: Volchok is Atwood’s kryptonite, he'll totally Hulk out (raises eyebrows)
Seth: your mixing comic book metaphors but you think we can keep Marissa quiet
Summer: Marissa, she can barely put her words together these days
Seth: she’s usually such a wordsmith
Summer: what'does she see in that guy, he’s so dirty and greasy (screws up face)
Seth: he’s got good abs (nods) women like abs (Summer goes over to get coffee) got a six pack myself I know

Sandy: (calls) thanks for the heads up (Matt looks) (nods) now I know I’m doin the right thing
Matt: you think things'a ben complicated, you haven’t seen anything yet (raises eyebrows) boss
(Matt leaves, Sandy looks a little pissed off)
CUT TO: Roberts' house, night - Marissa and Summer are sitting on the couch together with their arms folded almost defensively. Neil opens a bottle of champagne, we hear and see the pop
Neil: oooh
(Julie is standing near Neil with a champagne glass)
Julie: a little champagne wont hurt you girls (looks at Marissa/Summer) it is a toast (smiles)
Neil: yeah how often do we get engaged (smiles, quickly adds) don’t answer that

Julie: Marissa d'you have anything ta add (hopeful)
Marissa: oh, one sec (takes out phone, answers) hey (Julie looks at her) yeah (looks around) you are...ok bye
(Marissa hangs up and Julie hands her the glass of champagne. Marissa holds it up as if to say “cheers” and then proceeds to down the whole glass in one go. Julie watches her, frowning. Summer just has a “typical” expression on her face. Marissa swallows and clinks the now empty glass with Julies)
Marissa: congrats (leaves)
(Summer watches Marissa leave, after a few seconds Julie turns around to face Neil and Summer)
Julie: will you excuse me for a moment (goes after Marissa)
Summer: I...uh, me too (puts glass down)
(the next thing we see is Marissa near the front door and Julie not far behind her)
Julie: (calls) Marissa (Marissa doesn’t react) where d’you think your going young lady
(in the background we can see Summer watching)
Marissa: I gotta go mom my friend called an he says he needs me
Julie: I need you, I don’t have’ta tell you how important this night is for our family
Marissa: yeah well don’t worry mom I’m not gonna screw up your golden ticket
(Marissa leaves and Julie stands there shocked then sighs and closes her eyes. she turns around and sees Summer standing there, they look at each other awkwardly and then Summer goes after Marissa. Julie sighs and walks away from the door. outside Summer sees Marissa go over to Volchok who is standing beside his motorcycle, she kisses him and Summer screws up her face. Marissa looks up at Marissa and Summer looks at her worried. Marissa looks away and puts the helmet on as Volchok gets on the bike. Summer then watches as Volchok and Marissa ride off, Marissa is sitting on the back and holding Volchok around the waist. Summer shakes her head)
CUT TO: Driving on the road - Kirsten is driving and Seth is in the passenger seat
Kirsten: I don’t know if I’m a fan of Yakuza films, it was an interesting movie (looks at Seth) but a fun night
Seth: yeah, I would say anytime you getto watch a guy rip off his own armto continue fighting (Kirsten smiles) that’s a really good night
Kirsten: I just didn’t understand the other fellow
Seth: (looks at Kirsten) what the guy that produced the ball of energy from his chest an then destroyed the world, I think its (almost condescendingly) pretty self explanatory
Kirsten: (smiles reminiscently) you remember when I took youto Fantasia (Seth looks at her) cause I do (looks at Seth)
Seth: I’m sorry you didn’t like the movie
Kirsten: oh it was worth itto spend some time with you...I’ve missed you

Summer: we have a major problem, Marissa just bailed on our parents engagement party (sits) ta skank out with the surf Nazi
(we see Kirsten pulling up out the front of the Cohen’s house)
Seth: your dad an Julie got engaged, you kinda buried the lead there Summer
Kirsten: (looks at Seth) Julie an Dr. Roberts
Summer: we got bigger fish here Cohen (frowns) Marissa is on a slut spiral an we needto stop her
(Kirsten and Seth get out of the car)
Seth: it’s a little outta my league
Summer: I know, we need Ryan, the code of silence (raises eyebrows) has been lifted
Seth: ill talk to him, but he’s ben in such a good mood
CUT TO: The pool house - we see it firstly from outside looking in, it’s very dimly lit and the shades are down. inside we see Ryan and Sadie on the bed making out, and candles are around them. Sadie is on top of Ryan
Sadie: mm so this is the pool house
(Ryan continues kissing Sadie as he rolls her over so he is now on top of her)
Ryan: are you interested in making an offer (kisses Sadie’s neck)
Sadie: uh, it’s a little small (kiss) but it’s got great views
(more kissing, Ryan puts his hand on Sadie’s head and Sadie has hers on Ryan’s shoulder. in the background we hear the door shake and then Seth’s voice)
Seth: what (bangs, knocks) locked, when did this door get a lock on it
Ryan: (stops kissing, calls) little busy Seth
(Ryan goes back to making out with Sadie)
Seth: yeah you’re not the only one, listen I don’t wanna have’ta tell you this through the door but Marissa’s ben hooking up with Volchok
(at that moment Ryan and Sadie stop kissing but they still have their lips touching, like there’s no movement from either of them. the next thing we see is Seth with his head near the door and it suddenly opens)
Seth: (sees Ryan) oh hey (Ryan glares at him) (sees Sadie) oh hey...Sadie I didn’t realise
Sadie: yeah, good night Seth
Ryan: night
Sadie: call me ok
Ryan: yeah

CUT TO: Julies trailer - Julie and Kirsten are there together packing up Julies things
Kirsten: I can’t believe you’re getting married, again
Julie: you make it seem like an everyday occurrence
Kirsten: it almost is (looks at Julie)
Julie: this time it’s gonna stick, it just feels real, not everyone can have that Kirsten an Sandy relationship that bionic kevlar wrapped robo marriage that can withstand anything you throw at it
(Kirsten seems like she doesn’t agree with what Julie said, or it doesn’t apply at the moment but she doesn’t say anything. it’s just a look she has)
Kirsten: well you’ve seemed happier than I’ve seen you in a long time (smiles)
Julie: (smiles) mm, Neil has mellowed me, no more manipulative bitch, no more scheming no more double crossing (Kirsten smiles) which will be a disappointment to some
Kirsten: not for Dr. Roberts
Julie: (thinks) you know we both just kinda found each other, right at the moment (raises eyebrows) when we really needed someone, there’s no agenda
Kirsten: he does have a palatial estate
Julie: Kirsten, if he wantedto live together in this trailer, id do it (Kirsten looks at her) (screws up face) not that I’m offering
(Julie goes out the door carrying a box. we hear whistling and she stops when she sees something. we see that it’s Gus peeing near the trailer)
Julie: real classy Gus
Gus: (looks at Julie) its them big gulps, they go right through me (Julie raises an eyebrow) sneak up on me too
Julie: that’s a nice final image (closes eyes)
Kirsten: (calls) what’s going on

Kirsten: oh my god
(Gus zips up and wipes his hands on his top)
Gus: are you the new tenant (Kirsten looks at him) (holds out hand) niceto meet you

Sandy: (looks at Henry) I’m not accusing anybody of anything, an forgive me for sayin Henry but...you seem a touch defensive
Henry: (sighs) the only business that I am in is the business of helping people, I would like ta believe that we are partners in that
Sandy: ...you give me your word (looks at Henry) ill give you the benefit of the doubt

Julie: thankyou (hands them money) you did a wonderful job, thankyou (smiles, waves) bye
(Julies closes the door behind them and looks around herself, almost surreally. she smiles and jumps up and down excitedly just as the housekeeper comes down the stairs. Julie makes a fist as if to say “yes” then spins around and does a little squeal. Julie stops and looks at the housekeeper who is staring at her)
Julie: (smiles) hola Mima (Mima looks at her) es bueno (raises eyebrows) (Mima looks at her) vamanos por favor (smiles)

CUT TO: The pier, next morning. Ryan is sitting on a pylon underneath the pier waiting for Volchok
Volchok: you know I just knew, I knew it was only a matter'a time until you got in my face again
Ryan: I jus wanna talk
Volchok: about what your new girlfriend (points to Ryan) or mine (touches his chest) cause you know I got stories about both of em
Ryan: (gets down) bet you do
Volchok: this where you tell me I better leave her alone that-that she’s too good for me
Ryan: whoever Marissa wantsto be with, it’s not my placeto judge (Volchok looks at him) saw her at school (looks away) she didn’t look so good (looks at Volchok)
Volchok: that girl couldn’t look bad if she tried
Ryan: she was drinking you know she has a problem with that right
Volchok: she drinks (shrugs) she gets drunk (shrugs) I don’t see the problem
Ryan: ...jus so you know I’m not lookin after her anymore...it’s on you now (Volchok looks at him) treat her right, she deserves it
(Ryan leaves and Volchok looks as though what Ryan just said hit him hard)
CUT TO: Roberts' house - we see Marissa come out of a set of doors and then directly opposite Summer comes out of another set of doors, they stop when they see each other. Marissa scoffs and puts her sunglasses on, Summer glares at Marissa and puts hers on. they both sit down opposite each other at the table, it has all different foods laid out on it. Marissa puts her napkin on her lap as Summer pours herself a cup of tea or coffee, not sure which. Marissa holds her cup out to Summer and Summer looks at her then puts the teapot down. Marissa scoffs and puts the empty cup down. Summer then goes to reach for a piece of toast but before she can Marissa takes the whole plate,lol Marissa gives Summer a "ner ner" look as well. Summer grabs what looks like a croissant instead. Marissa picks up a piece of toast and a knife and then goes to grab the spread that’s sitting in a glass jar, but unfortunately for her Summer gets in first,lol. she puts it down next to her plate and out of Marissa’s reach then takes the lid off. a cheery Neil and Julie come over
Julie: good morning ladies
Neil: actually a great morning, second family first breakfast together
(Neil has his hand around Julies shoulder, aww. Marissa and Summer both look annoyed as they put spreads on their toast/croissant)
Julie: an tonight we're goingto have our first family dinner (looks at Marissa) something that hopefully (looks at Neil then Summer) will become a weekly tradition
(Neil smiles and squeezes Julies shoulder. Summer looks at Marissa as she pulls apart her croissant)
Neil: mm nothing like all sitting down together to a good meal (looks at Marissa)
Julie: discussing current events, catching up on each others lives doesn’t that sound fun (looks at Summer)
Summer: tons of (looks at Marissa) I know Marissa has several events that she would loveto share with the family (Marissa looks at her)
Neil: Summer maybe you can make that pineapple desert I like, you know the one with the graham cracker thing
Marissa: (looks at Summer) ooooh I’m sure daddies little girl would love to
(Marissa puts down her napkin and leaves the table)
Summer: scuse me (leaves the table)
(Marissa and Summer both head towards the side doors and they each open a door at the same time. after they go inside we can see Neil and Julie still standing at the table, watching)
Julie: (smiles) sisters
CUT TO: Johnny’s house - Ryan comes in the door

Sadie: (softly) you haven’t thought about it because you’re not readyto think about it (Ryan looks at her) which I totally get, but I can’t change my whole lifeto be with someone who’s distracted (Ryan looks away, raises eyebrows)
(Sadie kisses Ryan and walks away, Ryan looks a little overwhelmed, poor guy)
CUT TO: The pier - Ryan and Seth are at a taco stand thing together
Seth: so that’s it then, no more smiling no more skipping no more dancing
Ryan: eh you were never a fan of the dancing
Seth: I don’t know, I might've come around now we'll never know
Ryan: yeah, I can’t just ask herto move here, change her whole life
Seth: well, relocating ta Newport might not be that big'a deal
Ryan: yeah, puts alotta pressure on us you know an on the relationship
Seth: Ryan Atwood loves pressure, he’s not comfortable unless his entire body is being squeezed in a vice grip
(they take their taco shells over to the fillings stand)
Ryan: (raises eyebrows) that is not true
Seth: (looks at Ryan) yeah, you movedto Chinoto help a girl pregnant with a baby that might not even be yours
Ryan: Theresa needed someone
Seth: stayed with Marissa for several years of tortured torture
Ryan: m she was there for me too
Seth: but when it comes ta pursuing your own happiness (sits at the table, Ryan sits opposite) with a great girl who seemsto be relatively issue free

Ryan: (realises) I gotta ask herto stay

(Sandy nods. Henry drinks)
CUT TO: Summer bedroom - Summer opens the door to the bathroom and Marissa is already in there doing her make up. Marissa looks at her
Summer: oh, you’re wearing that to a family dinner
(I don’t see what’s wrong with what Marissa is wearing. it’s a nice top with a pair of jeans, maybe Summer means it’s not fancy enough? I don’t know)
Marissa: who says I’m goingto dinner
(Marissa puts what she is holding down and goes into her bedroom, which we can see is on the other side of the joint bathroom. Summer follows her)
Summer: ok, Marissa, be mad at me if you want but it is our family
(Marissa grabs a jacket off of her bed)
Marissa: whatever, save me some dessert
(Marissa leaves and Summer folds her arms, frustrated. she looks around Marissa’s room. the bed is unmade and has clothes all over it, there are clothes hanging off of the bed, and boxes just sitting there that seem to have not been unpacked yet)
CUT TO: Cohen kitchen - we hear Seth’s cell phone ring, he looks at who is calling and then answers it

Julie: actually I think we should just get started
Summer: personally I’m starving, why don’t we just dig in an bond (Julie looks a little disappointed) what were we gonna do at this dinner discuss current events, I think we live in a very fascinating time (looks at Julie)
Julie: riveting (Summer nods)
Neil: Julie why don’t you ring her on her cell, see where she is
Julie: I did call, several times
Neil: well I’m just a little concerned you know she never missed dinner when she was staying here last semester
Julie: (matter of factly) that’s because I wasn’t here

Marissa: (raises eyebrows) its not my mom (swallows) its Summer (thinks) you know the only other time we really fought was in the fifth grade, when I sat on the back'a the bus (looks at Volchok) with Luke on the wayto the museum of tolerance
Volchok: who’s Luke
Marissa: (smiles) Summer an Luke were engaged, in the second grade (Volchok smiles) she doesn’t liketo talk about it (looks at Volchok) why all the questions, all of the sudden
Volchok: what'do you mean
Marissa: you just seem very interested in my life
Volchok: I just um, we're hangin out seems like

Marissa: (looks at Volchok then down then back at him) I don’t I- (closes eyes) I mean...I've never (looks at Volchok)
Volchok: there’s a first time for everything
(Marissa nods and looks down, not interested. Volchok closes his hand)
Volchok: guess I’m partyin solo
(Marissa looks almost uncomfortable)
CUT TO: Kirsten and Seth - we see Seth walk into a room and look around, there are older people talking to each other, we don’t know where they are yet but most viewers had a pretty good idea
Seth: ok what is this place
Kirsten: you'll see
(Seth looks around, not quite sure what to make of it. the next thing we see is Kirsten over at a table getting herself a cup of coffee)
Seth: (frowns) a crappy rec. center basement, bad coffee, I don’t think your in a weight watchers so (Kirsten looks at him) either your the lead in a community theatre group or have converted to an extremely under funded religion
(at the front of the room a woman starts talking)
Ellen: hi, I’m Ellen (Seth/Kirsten look) an I’m an alcoholic
Kirsten: (smiles) hi Ellen
Everyone: hi Ellen
(Seth looks at Kirsten with a "you've got to be kidding me" expression, Kirsten looks at him)
Ellen: we will begin this evening with our reading of chapter five
(Seth looks at Kirsten and starts to leave, Kirsten puts her coffee down and goes after him)
Kirsten: Seth (Seth stops near the door) I thought if you knew you wouldn’t of come (folds arms)
Seth: (softly) well good instinct, like goin through this the first time wasn’t painful enough
Kirsten: this place has saved my family my marriage quite possibly my life, these people know more about me than my own family
Seth: well who’s fault is that it’s not like you ever talk about what happened
Kirsten: (looks at Seth) it’s not like you ever ask (Seth looks at her) an if this is how you act when I share it with you-
Seth: there’s sharing an then there’s lying (wide eyed)
Kirsten: well we're here, an I’m not leaving so you can wait in the car or you can do this for me (Seth looks at her) (pleadingly) just give me an hour...it’s important that you be here tonight
Seth: (sighs) is anyone gonna rip off their own armto keep fighting
Kirsten: metaphorically speaking yeah (half smiles)
(Seth raises an eyebrow, shrugs and heads back in. Kirsten smiles, touched and follows him)
CUT TO: Matt’s apartment - Matt comes in the door and turns the light on, he closes the door behind and looks through his mail. we see a close up of his phone/answering machine which reads 2. Matt pushes a button and we hear the first message

Matt: look I-its cool you guys take whatever you want I don’t care
Guy: this isn’t a robbery
(the guy holding Matt punches him in the stomach while the other guys trash Matt’s apartment. we see one of the guys smash glasses and bottles on the table, then another guy tips over a stool thing, then the coffee table is turned over as well. one of the guys holds Matt from behind while another guy punches him. then we see a guy pull down the shelves near the TV and then the same guy smashes the TV with a long thing which makes a loud bang/flash of ligh, then he tips the TV forward and it sparks again. Matt gets punched again, hard in the face)

(Marissa leaves. Ryan watches her for a few seconds)
