Previously on "The OC.."

This is school?

If you graduate from here

you can get into
any college in the UC system.

What happens in Mexico,
you know, stays in Mexico.

You don't deserve her.

- I didn't want to kill myself.
- I know.

- I'm so sorry about everything.
- Go away.

Our chemistry is undeniable.

I don't have a date
to the cotillion.

Would you be my escort?

Good news! I'm available.

- No.
- Who's Rachel?

She works at the law firm
I met with yesterday.

- So if I did take this job..
- You already have.

Oh, so, this is Rachel.

- This is Rachel.
- I'm Rachel.

What you want
and what your daughter wants

are two different things.

You don't know what she wants!

I know what she doesn't want.

'She doesn't want
to live with you.'

I wanna live with dad.
At least for now.

Dr. Kim,
Ryan's had a lot to overcome.

Not exactly
Harbor School material.

Give me a shot.

[instrumental music]

First day of school. Excited?

You know, I ask you questions
in the hopes of eliciting

an actual response.

I feel I convey more
with a look.

- You look adorable.
- No.

- Cute?
- No.

- Dope? Rad?
- No! Please.

Please, this is so painful!

I'm sorry. Sorry.

- How was surfing?
- Cut it short.

I wanted to see the boys off.

Doesn't Seth look rad?

[Sandy]
'Oh, you do look rad!'

Mad props, son.

Thank God, man.
Are you ready to go?

First day. You excited?

Enough said.

How do you do that by the way?

How do you convey everything
with just a look?

- And again.
- How are you doing?

- Nervous?
- Why would I be nervous?

Because we're going to school
with, like, 300 Lukes

minus the redeeming
social qualities.

I got it. Sorry.
You meant you were nervous.

- Don't be nervous.
- I'm not nervous.

- I'm just not going.
- Coop, you have to go.

You own the school.
And what about kickoff carnival?

- You're still the social chair.
- Mmm, let's see.

Be humiliated
in front of the entire school

or hire someone
to do balloon animals?

[gasps]
You have to hire the guy
who makes the balloon octopus.

So your boyfriend cheated on you

'and yes,
you almost died in Mexico.'

And okay, there's that whole
scandal with your dad--

If you're trying
to make me feel better..

Okay. The point is, there's
no such thing as bad publicity.

[sniffing]

- Is that something burning?
- 'Okay, so, uh..'

New oven.

Haven't quite figured out
how to make French toast.

Not in the oven
would be a good place to start.

Well, since no one will hire me,
I've got plenty of time.

I'm gonna go out
and buy a cookbook.

Come on! It's good, it's, it's..
They're crunchy.

- See?
- Um, no, thanks.

Yeah, I don't know
who I'm more worried about here.

Well, I think it's safe to say
that this year is..

...going to be different.

Yeah, maybe this year will be
different, you know, better.

Yeah, that's the mantra
every year.

And every year some big
water-polo player ends up

uh, peeing in one of my shoes,
but..

No, I'm just kidding.
They pee in both.

Ryan has Mr. Schmidt
for, uh, pre-calc.

- What's wrong with Mr. Schmidt?
- Nothing.

- Say hi to his mole for me.
- Well..

At least you have each other.

That is very wise, dad.

[Sandy]
'Thank you, son.'

We're doomed.

The master race has been
perfected around here

and they all go to our school.

Hey...fellas.

Alright, don't get
your Speedos in a bunch.

- This is a nightmare.
- This is a nightmare.

I bet,
like, no one even knows.

- Are you kidding?
- 'I heard she died down there.'

She looks pretty good
for a dead girl.

Hey, whores, why don't you go
work another corner.

Sum,
maybe I should just go home.

You know, help my dad unpack.

Coop, that is as bad
as it's gonna get.

- Oh, I spoke too soon.
- Hello, Summer.

What does your schedule
look like today?

- Full.
- Oh, really? Okay.

- Hey, a friendly face.
- Hey, how's it going?

- Not good. You?
- Oh, worse.

So, why don't we just
get out of here?

Right now, just get in your car,
and go down to the pier.

I can't.
Dean Kim would call my dad.

- Or worse, my mom.
- Okay. How about after school?

I'm supposed to help chair
the kickoff carnival committee.

I know. I've been looking for
an excuse to get out of that.

- I think you found one.
- Okay.

- I'll meet you out front.
- Something to look forward to.

- Coop! Can we go, please?
- Yeah.

Hey. Could we maybe talk or..

Stay away from her.

How am I supposed to do that?
We all go to the same school.

Uh, well, maybe you should've
thought about that

before hooking up with one
of her best friends!

Ass!

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah.

I just have to get used to it.

This, I guess.

- But we're still on, right?
- Yeah.

Something to look forward to.

[bell ringing]

Coop!

See you, Summer.

Slowly, I thaw her icy heart.

- Look at you.
- If I must.

New suit. New scent, Mmm.

New look.

I feel like
this is heading somewhere.

- New girlfriend.
- Oh, and there it is.

You're still all bent out of..
Mmm..

Oh, God, I should've found
an attractive co-worker

years ago.

- It was a figure of speech.
- Rachel's attractive?

Is that her name?
It's context.

Only, you know,
in relation to which

she invokes amorous feelings
in my far more

extremely more attractive wife.

Good answer.

[moans]

- Mornings used to be our time.
- Oh, I remember them well.

What happened?

[cell phone rings]

Oh.

Work happened.

Just hang on one sec.

Wait a minute. I can't get it.
Just hang on one sec.

Hold on.
Just hold on. I got it.

Wait.

How did she know?

Oh! You're not gonna answer it,
are you?

[cell phone rings]

Oh!

[sighs]

It's my dad.

Hey, Rachel.

Hi, dad.

So, Summer, if you'd care
to join me for lunch today

I can arrangefor
an empty chair at my table.

There's nothing
but empty chairs at your table.

[gasps]

- Seth Cohen?
- Anna!

- Hey, how are you doing?
- Umm..

Excuse me, we were talking here.

Oh, so insulting him
counts as conversation?

Yeah, well, if it doesn't,
then we've never spoken.

Summer, you remember Anna,
right?

'She's moved here
from Pittsburgh.'

- How could I forget?
- Oh, hey.

So, we're gonna still be on
for lunch today, right?

She probably
didn't even hear me.

Seth, what are you doing?

I thought you got past this
whole Summer thing at cotillion.

Right, and I know, Anna,
that it seems like not a lot

of progress has been made,
but I have to tell you..

Yeah, not that much progress
has been made.

Despite all my best judgments,
I cannot not like her.

You're such a boy.

Well, whatever,
I don't see what her problem is

I'm nothin'
but available for that girl.

Alright. Right there.

That's your problem.

Girls like to be chased by guys
that aren't into them.

That sounds a little bit
like a game to me, Anna

and I don't really
like to play games, okay?

Unless we're talking about
a little Saturday night Jenga

a little,
little Magic, The Gathering.

I love Magic, The Gathering.

Maybe you just don't know
how to play.

- Well, you're a girl, right?
- Yeah.

Uh-huh, and we're friends,
right?

- Sure.
- Okay, awesome!

So then why don't you train me
in the ways of women, huh?

Give me a little advice.

I don't understand the mind
of chicks like Summer.

I'll teach you
how to play Jenga.

- You really like her?
- Since I was ten.

Fine.

- But I make no promises.
- Trust me.

I cannot do any worse
than I've been doing.

That I trust.

You're my girl.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What were you doing this morning
when I called?

You sounded, um..
Did I wake you?

I was spending some time
with my wife.

Well, yeah? How'd that go?

Well, I got to work on time,
didn't I?

Too bad, it might be a while
before your wife

is in the mood for love.

Oh, yeah?
Something you know I don't?

Well, I know lots
that you don't, but in this case

are you familiar
with the Balboa Wetlands?

Yeah, it's the largest coastal
wetlands in California.

'Home to the blue heron
and the brown pelican'

and my personal favorite,
something called the swamp rose.

Right, the wetlands are key
to water quality in the county

and not to mention
they're kind of pretty.

So, naturally,
they must be destroyed.

The Balboa Heights
are 250 acres of land

that sit above said wetlands.

Yeah, every developer's been
going after Heights for years.

Well, somebody got it, and
they're looking to tear it up!

- Put in condos, a golf course.
- Oh, thank God.

'Cause, you know, the lack of
golf courses around here

it's, it's tragic.

This is a policy-changing

career-making piece
of litigation here.

A tree-hugging crusader,
like yourself

would probably kill
for a case like this.

And you want to share
this with me.

- Yes.
- Why?

Oh, my wife's company
is the plaintiff.

It's her father's company.

So, why even tempt me with this?
It's a conflict of interest.

I-I-I'm not even sure
it'd be ethical.

'Well, the client,
the Balboa Land Trust'

'not only waived
the conflict of interest'

they insisted
that you take the case.

Your politics, your passion,
your severe dislike

for your father-in-law.
You're the ideal advocate.

I suspect my wife is gonna have
a different spin on all this.

Look, you came to this firm

because we have the resources
to help you make a difference.

They're gonna teach this
in law school.

So, what's it gonna be? Your
sex life? Or the swamp rose?

[instrumental music]

Did you know that
she overdosed on Vicodin?

'Who does that?'

[indistinct chatter]

[bell ringing]

You are not quitting your post
as social chair, Marissa.

You were elected by the students

you've held the position
for two years.

I know, Dr. Kim,
but that was before

everything that's happened
this summer.

I understand you are going
through a lot of change

right now, but you're a leader
here at Harbor

'that doesn't have to change.'

You're a wonderful example
to your fellow students.

- They look up to you.
- Not anymore, they don't.

Putting aside the issue
of how walking away

from your extra curricular
responsibilities

will affect
your college transcript.

People are always going to talk.

You may as well give them
something good to talk about.

Don't disappear, Marissa.

This is your school, your life.

'Your future.'

Hey, what are you doing?

You never told me
about summer reading.

Who does summer reading?

Apparently,
everyone in my class.

Oh, yeah.
Sorry about that one.

So, listen,
Anna here has convinced me

to join "The Plank,"
it's a literary magazine.

I needed an extracurricular
activity, and apparently

you don't have to wear a sports
bra, it's beyond the lit mag.

See, it's appealing
on many levels.

Plus I feel I, uh, I have a few
limericks that are ready to be

shared with the world.

Well, have fun.
I'm gonna hang with Marissa.

School might not suck this year.

Hey, so it turns out
I have to plan

this carnival thing after all.

- Oh, okay.
- Yeah, I mean..

I talked to the dean, and..

...I think getting involved
in school again

might not be such a bad idea.

- I know, that sounds lame.
- Yeah. No, no. It's cool.

So, uh..

- Can we reschedule?
- Absolutely.

What about the carnival,
I'll save you a ride

on the Ferris wheel.

No Ferris wheels.
I don't, I don't do...heights.

But we'll figure something out.

- Are you sure you're gonna be--
- I'm fine.

I just got a lot
of reading to do.

- Like 500 years of it, so..
- Okay.

So, I'll see you.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

- Morning.
- Hey.

I didn't hear you
come in last night.

Oh, I didn't want to wake you.
You look nice.

Dad's demanding a company
breakfast. Some kind of crisis.

So, if this is how it's gonna be

after a couple of weeks of work,
we're just gonna be like--

Two ships passing
in the morning.

What have they got you
working on?

A big, uh, high-profile case.

Oh, how about lunch today?
I'll pay.

You know what,
actually, you can pay.

You're the one that's working
on a high-profile case.

How about Friday?

[chuckles]
I'll have my people call your
people. I love you.

I love you too.

[Sandy]
'Hey, kid.'

- How did school go for you?
- Fine. Just behind.

'After one day? Nice work.'

Well, it's brutal.

You're brave to face those
preppy little savages.

And I mean the teachers.

I don't think it was a good
idea, me in private school.

You're one of the smartest kids
they've got.

It's not the work,
it's just..

...everybody's got something,
except me.

Well, you got Seth.

Seth's got his women.

Seth Cohen?

Okay. So..

Really?

So you need something.

- An activity. A sport.
- Ladies.

Don Juan,
we're trying to figure out

an extracurricular activity
for Ryan here.

Harbor's got
a great archery program--

[Seth]
'Archery, no. Absolutely not.'

- Fencing?
- What century are you in?

Open your mind
for a second over here, dad.

This isn't me
we're talking about.

With Ryan,
we have an opportunity

'to have a real athlete
in the family.'

Somebody to achieve

all that your Jewishness has
prevented me from accomplishing.

Hey,
I always wanted to play soccer.

- I used to play soccer.
- Done.

Glad I could help.

[instrumental music]

I didn't get around
to getting those cookbooks.

Yeah, I guess it's better
to play it safe then.

So, how's sleeping on the,
on the sofa?

It's fine.

- You know, it's just temporary.
- I can handle it.

Did you, uh, talk to your mom?

I-I-I'm sorry about all this,
sweetheart.

I just wish
you would've told me.

I know, I know.

But things, things
will be different now.

[doorbell rings]
Hey.

Don't get too excited.

The phone company is installing
an actual phone line.

A very big day.

- Hey, Mr. Cooper.
- Luke.

[Luke]
'Yeah, so, uh, is this your new
place? Looks great.'

- Not buying it, Luke.
- Right.

Can I talk to Marissa?

- No. You can't.
- Come on, Mr. Cooper, it's me.

If I could talk to her
for a minute or so..

Yeah, she told me what happened,
and, uh, I don't think

she wants to talk to you
right now.

Come on. I mean,
if anybody knows about

being in the doghouse--

Don't say it.

What can I do?

You can leave.

Alright, well tell her..

...sorry.

Okay.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hi.

How did it go with the carnival?

Oh, very exciting.

So, maybe, if I get out
of my meeting early

I think we're voting on cotton
candy versus funnel cakes.

- Cotton candy, no question.
- My thoughts exactly.

Uh, but I can't today.
I got soccer practice.

- You do?
- Yeah, I'm gonna try out.

Figured getting involved
in school

might not be such a bad idea.

Yeah. And plus, now we both
get out at 5:00, right?

I'll meet you in the quad
after school.

I'll see you then.

[instrumental music]

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Is this seat taken?
- It is now.

Cool.

[bell ringing]

You, uh, you can sit here
if you want, Summer.

Thanks.

- Seth, come sit here by me.
- Are you sure?

You don't mind the whole
one cheek on, one cheek off?

Sit!

Sitting.

Oh, oh, my God! Okay, so,
we didn't talk about this.

- Tell me about Tahiti.
- Oh, it was incredible.

- Was it?
- Yeah.

Uh, Anna just sailed to Tahiti.

[scoffs]
Sailing is, like, so not
the fastest way to get anywhere.

I mean, if you would've flown

you would've gotten there
a lot sooner.

You should be
on the debate team.

[scoffs]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Nice office.
- It came furnished.

I brought you lunch.

Well, it's not a lump of coal.

Sandy, when were you
going to tell me?

- Soon.
- Not soon enough.

I signed a deposition
this morning.

Oh, honey.

I-I'm not even sure
if I'm gonna take this case.

There is no case!

You're talking about
destroying one of the most

biologically productive
ecosystems in the world.

'It's like selling off the
rainforest to profit a few'

wealthy individuals, and asking
generations and generations

of others to pay for it.

We have proposed to protect
350 acres of wildlife refuge

and a natural park.

You'll still
add 30% more traffic

and ten tons
of air pollution daily.

Not to mention what you'll do
to the water supply.

- You're gonna take this.
- I, no, no..

Oh, Sandy,
it isn't even ethical.

I feel comfortable comparing
ethics with your father.

Well, as long as you're
comfortable. I gotta go.

'I gotta keep this off
my father's radar.'

Or he's going to lose his mind.

Alright, move!
Don't wait for it!

Hey. You Atwood?

Alright, what position
you comin' out for?

- Striker.
- Striker? Alright.

I'll tell you what,
you see that kid out front?

That's Luke, he's our captain.
He's also our striker.

Well, let's go!
Show me something!

Hey, Ward!
You got a little competition!

Okay, thanks, you guys,
so tomorrow

we'll figure out event parking.

Hey, and make sure
the band's booked.

No last second surprises.

We need to talk, Marissa.

Believe me, you do not want to
hear what I have to say.

- Yes, I do.
- No.

All you want is
for me to tell you

that everything's okay now,
but I can't! It's not.

I know, I know,
and, and I'm so sorry--

I don't care!

I don't care how you feel
or what you're going through.

Because you sure as hell
didn't care about me.

- That's not true.
- I slept with you.

And then you went and slept
with one of my best friends.

I waited for you,
and you lied to me.

You humiliated me.

Marissa..

[sighs]

It's just..

[Luke]
'I'm so sorry.'

Do you have any idea how hard
it is to come to school everyday

and not be able to talk to you?

You think it's easy for me?

Let's just start over.

'Please?'

'I don't know
what I'd do without you.'

[Luke sighs]

And just because
I ruined everything

it doesn't mean that I didn't
love you because I did.

I, I do.

You know what the worst part is?

If I hadn't caught you..

...I'd still love you too.

I gotta go.

[instrumental music]

Oh, I know that look.

I was trying
to keep this from my dad.

I was trying to protect us,
and now it's on the front page.

'I thought we could at least'

'settle this privately,
you and me.'

This was not supposed to go
to the press.

It's your firm!

And now the entire
community knows we're fighting.

Well, I guess
they got the story straight.

- What are you doing?
- Morning ritual, Ryan.

Coffee, bagel, arts and leisure.

You have a morning ritual?

Something I've been crafting
for a while.

So, what's up, dude?
How's life?

I feel like we never get
the chance to talk anymore.

- Who are you?
- We had dinner 12 hours ago.

Fine.
You keep it all bottled up.

- What was that?
- Nothing.

No, that wasn't nothing.
See, I saw somethin'.

I saw thoughts forming,
and I saw words percolating.

It's just..

- Never mind.
- Come on! What was that, dude?

[sighs]

Last night, I saw..

...Marissa with Luke.

- Makin' out?
- Making up.

'Luke was crying.'

Luke was crying?

So Luke was crying, that
doesn't sound like anything.

It didn't sound like nothing.

'Looked like they were
getting back together.'

So ask her about it, I'm sure
that if nothing's going on

she'll tell you.

- Do not tell him!
- Ugh, I don't know.

- Shouldn't I just be honest?
- Never.

Okay? You guys haven't even,
like, gone on a date yet.

You're only gonna freak him out.

Trust me, Coop, what he doesn't
know won't hurt you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What happened to you last night?
I waited and I tried calling.

Yeah, sorry. I got a little
slammed last night.

- I'm pretty behind.
- After two days?

What did you do?

Um, nothing.
My meeting went long.

- Ah! How'd it go?
- Good.

I think it's gonna be good.

And what did you do after?

After I couldn't find you,
I went home.

- Ah, yeah, sorry.
- Yeah.

But you've got
soccer practice later, right?

So, maybe I'll stop by.

I gotta get to class.
I'll see you.

[bell ringing]

[instrumental music]

Huh?

- I mean, ew!
- That's my girl.

Cohen,
you're a good dissector, right?

- Hands of a surgeon.
- Well, it's decided then.

You'll be my lab partner.

You can write up all those
boring lab reports, right?

Actually,
Seth already has a partner.

He's promised himself to me,
right?

Yes. I am betrothed.

Good.

What are you doing?
She wanted to be my lab partner.

What, wait, you're supposed to
help me get her.

Watch and learn, Cohen.

Follow my lead.

Scalpel!

Where shall we begin?

The heart.

Well, Sanford

you are all anybody is talking
about around here.

Tell me now, did you bring me

into this firm
because of this case?

We didn't have this case
when we hired you.

But don't worry about it, you've
already convinced everyone

that you're really torn.
Now, could we get on with it?

'You know this could go
to the state supreme court.'

Yeah. And I know I could win.

It's a question
of what I'm gonna lose.

Well..

...if your marriage
can't survive this

what kind of marriage is it?

[whistles]

[male #1]
'Hey, Atwood, good!'

'Good! Take the shot!'

- 'Alright.'
- 'Good hold, guys.'

'Alright, let's keep it moving.
Let's go!'

'Go! Line up!'

Hi.

Sorry about yesterday.
That was kind of intense.

[male #1]
'Let's go! let's go! Move!'

I think the last time
I cried was when

Macaulay Culkin died
at the end of "My Girl."

Yeah, the bee stings.
You were a mess.

[male #1]
'Kick! Alright, good, good.'

'Alright, guys, let's go.
Let's go.'

- 'Come on, Jeremy!'
- 'To the left!'

- 'Hey, Ward! Get over here!'
- I will, uh..

[male #1]
'Alright, we're not done here.
Let's go!'

Sorry, coach.
I had to tape up my ankle.

Excuse me.

[male #1]
'Alright,
we're finally all together?'

'Alright, I wanna see
some hustle now! Let's go!'

[whistles]

- Hey! Illegal!
- 'What are you doing?'

Hey!

Get in my office. Right now!

[male #2]
'Don't put any weight on it.'

[male #3]
'Nice job.'

What's your problem, dude?

[instrumental music]

How was soccer?

So, pops, how's the new job?

Oh! Hey, mom, um, I-I was..

I'm just going to be
quietly eating now.

Hey.

What was that about?

- What?
- Well, you attacked him.

He beat me to the ball.
It was a clean tackle.

- Why are you lying to me?
- Why are you lying to me?

- What are you talking about?
- You and Luke.

I saw you yesterday.
I heard everything.

- I didn't know what to say.
- How about the truth?

- Why didn't you just tell me?
- Why didn't you just tell me?

Instead of just going off
and hurting him?

- You're as bad as he is.
- You know what!

I don't need to be lied to
about one more person.

I didn't lie to you.

What happened
was between me and Luke.

- It has nothing to do with you.
- You're right!

It has nothing to do with me.

It just isn't gonna happen.

No, it's not.

Your coach called.

He wants to suspend you
for two games.

- Great.
- He thinks you got talent.

'He also thinks
your attitude sucks.'

- It does.
- Sit down and listen to me.

You can stand if you want,
but you know how lawyers

love to talk.

The last thing you need is for
this blowout on the soccer field

to turn into
a suspension from school.

This school could do
great things for you.

- For Seth maybe, not for me.
- You're angry.

I know that. I don't blame you.

Every day at that school
you're gonna run into

spoiled little, rich kids

whose ass you are gonna
want to kick.

Well, you've just gotta find
a way to work it out right now

because forget
about suspension..

...we're always one mistake
away from..

...from someone taking you
from us.

[instrumental music]

You know, Seth was never really
big on organized sports.

I'd love to see you play.

Go to some of your games.

Huh? And women usually find
stark brutality so romantic.

- I messed up.
- Yeah, well.

It's my experience in life, Ryan

that you should always
apologize, alright?

Even if you haven't done
anything wrong, your shoes

would get peed in so much less.

- That was a metaphor.
- Apologize. Right.

- And to Luke?
- That crybaby? No, man.

He gets to drown
in his own tears.

They're all the same.

It's too bad, because I could
tell you really liked him.

Hi.

Uh, do you mind? Can we..

We have to get to class.
Come on, Coop.

Y-y-you know, I've been

Why stop now?

My father, my husband..

It's gonna be a long year.

Could be a couple of years.

[sighs]

Yeah.
Well, I couldn't be married

to a man who wasn't a man.

I'm all man.

We'll get through this.

- The kids are at that carnival.
- I heard that rumor.

Mm-hmm.

- Are you getting out?
- Are you getting in?

- Yeah, maybe.
- Mmm.

Maybe, Ooh! Okay.

[laughing]

[cell phone rings]
Oh, my God.

- Why do you keep this thing on?
- Emergencies.

Oh! It's my dad.

And it's an emergency.

[cell phone ringing]

Hey,dad.

[cell phone rings]

Rachel, hi.

[indistinct chatter]

[cheering]

If only skee ball
were a school sport.

- You know what I mean?
- A boy can dream!

Alright,
let's see you take a shot.

- No! I'll pass.
- Take one shot!

Take a shot. It's very easy.

Okay? Concentrate. Alright,
lean to the left a little bit.

- Hey!
- Any luck finding Marissa?

- Nah! No sign of her. You guys?
- Nothing.

We have to let
Anna concentrate now

because she dares to step up
to the master.

Shh!

[Anna screams]

Okay. Clearly, you're a lesbian.

Wow, I'm gonna go trade in my
tickets for some cash prizes.

Oh, hey, do you think I should
get Summer something?

What do you think
she would like?

I can figure it out.

Seth doesn't understand
the whole hard-to-get strategy.

- That's because he's not.
- Oh.

Why are you helping him
with Summer?

Why not?

Seth doesn't see me that way.

When he looks at Summer,
he sees lips and hair and boobs.

When he looks at me, he sees..

...a lab partner.

We're friends.

And you're gonna let that slide?

Anna..

...guys wanna be chased by girls
who aren't interested in them.

[Marissa laughing]

[Summer]
Come on!

[Marissa]
Summer, it's right here.

So do girls.

She's heading for
the Ferris wheel. Gotta go.

Good luck.

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry about yesterday.

[Marissa]
'Actually, I'm glad we came.'

It's not half as bad
as last time.

- You're going with me.
- Yeah, okay. Let's go.

[Marissa laughing]

Do you mind?

Not getting involved.

- What are you doing?
- I wanna talk.

I thought
you were afraid of heights.

Uh-huh, but then
this is important.

Oh, boy.

Look, um..

...I said some things last
night, and I just want you to..

Whoa, uh..

- What's going on?
- Uh, we're stopped.

Yeah, w-w-why,
why are we stopped?

Keep them up there
a few minutes.

Let them work it out.

You are the master.

Cohen, there's something
I wanna tell you.

Alright. More advice.
I'm ready, bring it.

Was this all part of the plan?

Because it looks like
it's working.

Yeah.

It was all part of the plan.

So are you gonna go?

Yeah.

Thank you.

'Oh, hey!'

I got this for you.

It's all I could get
with my tickets.

Thanks.

[clears throat]
Hi, Summer.

What's going on?

Coop's stuck on the Ferris wheel

and I was looking for someone

to go on
the Tilt-A-Whirl with me.

I'll go on it with you.

Okay.

I may vomit.

I like those odds.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Had to get the cheap
Ferris wheel, didn't you?

What kind of carnival is this,
Cooper?

Okay.

Look..

...I don't talk a lot
about stuff

and I really don't trust people.

But I trust you.

And I want to make it..

This...work.

No matter what.

And if we ever get down
from here

maybe we could talk about it.

Oh, well, who knows
when that'll be?

Please don't say that.

Look,
maybe you just need something

to take your mind off of it.

Oh, 50 feet in the air, how do
you expect me to possibly..
