I know you.
Oliver Trask.

[narrator]
Previously on "The OC.."

Next time you wanna
be alone with my girlfriend

let me know so I can stay home.

Everybody who knows me
for more than five minutes

hates my guts.

- I'm so stupid!
- Take it easy.

[Sandy]
So in theory, Julie Cooper

could eventually
become your stepmother.

Don't even say it.

Like you said, I can start over,
have a new life.

I never really wanted to be
a financial planner or a thief.

Jimmy Cooper and I might've gone
into business together tonight.

Oh! You are drunk.

You're like brother and sister.

'You guys could totally
be related.'

- What's wrong?
- I just took a bunch of pills.

We're leaving right now.
See you soon.

What if he didn't
try to kill himself tonight?

- What are talking about?
- He wouldn't.

Let's take him
to the hospital.

I can't just
leave him alone tonight.

Just go home and I'll see you
in the morning.

You did accuse the guy
of faking a suicide attempt.

No, I didn't.
I just didn't believe him.

Oh, okay. Hard to believe such
blind compassion upset Marissa.

You should go work
for UNICEF.

I don't trust him.
Something about Oliver is off.

Yeah.
He tried to kill himself.

Or he faked it, man.
Either way, it's pretty off.

Every day it seems
like Marissa and I

are fighting about this guy.
I don't even know why.

Well, Ryan, I'm no girl,
but although I did spend

several summers at Camp Takaho
being called such.

But maybe your jealousy's
getting in the way.

Yeah, except I'm not jealous.
Jealous? Why would I be jealous?

Because Oliver is insanely
wealthy and well-traveled.

- He's a Dapper Don.
- And I'm not.

But on the other hand,
he's also, uh

a clinically depressed
and chemically dependent

so you know, it all comes out
in the wash, really.

You want my advice? I'll just
embrace the friend, man.

You should really try and make
peace with this guy.

Maybe you're right.

Or, I don't know.

You could enjoy
the arguing with Marissa.

Sparks are flying.
Her yin to your yang.

Could be nice for your
relationship...I'd imagine.

- Why, you and Anna don't fight?
- We're all yang, Ryan.

What would we fight about?
We like all the same things.

And have the same interests.
We never argue. It's ridiculous.

- Yeah! That sounds terrible.
- Hey!

It's like we're sharing
the same brain.

Not me and Marissa.
That's for sure.

Let me ask you something,
am I dating

the female me,
like me, but as a girl?

Uh, I don't know. I don't
wanna.. That's disgusting.

True.

- Uh, I gotta go.
- 'Catch you later, Marissa.'

- Go what?
- Go and embrace the friend.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi. Hey.

- How are you?
- I'm okay.

- How's Oliver?
- You really wanna know?

- Yeah. Yeah, I do.
- He feels bad.

He doesn't understand
why he took a bunch of pills

and you and I got
in a fight over it.

By the way,
I don't get it, either.

Right. I know.

And I know I've been
a little weird about everything

but he's your friend.

So he's my friend.

I, I know,
I'm not saying

I might not get weird
about it again

but...I wanna try.

You wanna hang out with him,
you want me to, it's okay.

It's better than okay.
It's-it's-it's, uh, great.

- Great?
- Yeah, well..

"Great's" probably
pushing it a little.

- But, uh, definitely good.
- Thanks.

Ryan. Marissa. Uh, I want you to
meet our new transfer student.

He says you're all friends.

Oops!
Hey. So I was thinking.

Maybe after school we could
go play a little bit of Jenga.

- Yeah?
- No.

Or we could go get some comics.
We haven't done that in a while.

Okay. We could go to South Coast
Plaza and quietly mock people.

Or why don't we try
and do something different?

Like...check it out.
I got some ideas.

- Muscle car racing.
- What?

Or, or, or we could learn
Israeli self defense.

- They call it Krav Maga.
- Seth.

- Krav Maga. What?
- Come on.

Why don't we just go
to the IMAX theatre

and see the movie
on migrating birds?

IMAX, Anna, I think we're cooler
than that right now.

I think we're a little bit
past that.

Why don't we, uh, take Luke's
Sea-Doo out for a spin, huh?

That'd be fine
and I'm looking to branch out

into different water sports.

- Okay. I'll support that.
- Good.

And if not, you know,
we can argue about it.

No, I think it's good.

It's important
that we change things up.

- We don't wanna get all boring.
- Good.

'Cause I definitely think that
it's important for us

to not always
do the same stuff

or you know, dress the same,
or whatever.

- Damn it.
- Wow.

You take Israeli self-defense.
I'll take muscle cars.

Got yourself
a little deal there.

Partner.

- Hey!
- Hey.

Oliver! What's up, man?
You visiting Harbor?

Actually, Oliver goes here now.

Never too late
for a new start.

- What a surprise.
- So, you didn't tell anyone?

Oh, I didn't think
you really meant it.

Of course, I have
more friends here

than I did at my last school.

Anyways, I'm gonna go wash up.
It's tuna-melt Monday.

- And we love tuna melts.
- Yes, we do.

I was actually
looking forward, though

to samplin' some of
the other items on the menu.

Oh! Good. That's good.
That's great.

Bye-bye.

So I was thinking of taking
Oliver to the bookstore

since we both have
free periods now.

Marissa and I have,
like, the exact same schedule.

- 'What are the odds?'
- Crazy.

- Have fun.
- Okay. Come on.

- Later on.
- Okay.

There it is, man.
Tuna melts.

Tuna melts, Ryan. What am I
gonna have to give up next?

Okay, Oliver goes here.
Did you notice that?

Yeah, I was trying to
take one more shot

of talking about myself,
but I did notice.

And you don't find that
completely and totally..

Embrace the friend, okay?

Please, I'm sure there's
a perfectly good explanation.

Seth. Come on.

I gotta go.

And my 12:00? Right.

The 16-year-old
with his third DUI.

What do I have at six? Oh!

'The travel agent
who falsely advertised'

the Bahamian beach house.

What a day! Alright.
Thanks, Cory. Bye.

Four years at Berkeley Law,
15 years as a public defender

so I could become Judge Judy.

I like her.
She's tough, but fair.

I watch a lot of daytime TV.

What's the big deal?
What's goin' on?

Tomorrow, we're going
to lunch.

You couldn't have
told me that on the phone?

- At The Lighthouse.
- Yeah.

Except for The Lighthouse
is closed. Forever.

Well, I got 'em
to open it up again.

So we could take a look at it,
make sure we wanna buy it.

- Are you serious?
- I sure am.

You can thank me later.

We were five martinis deep,
we were, we were joking.

- There was singing involved.
- I remember.

You alienated
several waitresses.

- Well, that one liked me.
- You were drunk.

That's my point.
We cannot open a restaurant.

- That's crazy.
- Why, why is that so crazy?

Because we don't know anything
about running a restaurant.

Oh, come on, man. You managed
The Lighthouse for two years.

Two summers.

And I was stoned and drunk,
in college. It was the '80s.

Well, you might wanna keep
that from the investors.

- Restaurants fail.
- Not all of them.

- I don't have the capital.
- I'm working on that.

Look, it's, it's, it's not
a good time for me.

That's exactly my point.

Look, if you don't
find something soon

the next stop
for you is Phoenix.

The way I look at it,
you got nothing to lose.

And we both have
everything to gain.

So, come on.
Am I gonna see you tomorrow?

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry.
I-I can't do lunch today.

But what about tomorrow?

It's a little hectic right now.

Well, The Fred Segal sale
is happening.

And I was thinking maybe
a little Nobu. A road trip.

That's even less
likely than lunch.

- Movie?
- No.

Coffee?

Julie, I really
appreciate your desire

to be such good friends

but the thing about
good friends

is that when they want
something, they just ask.

The interior design job. I know
it's available. I want it.

Oh.

I-I thought
you wanted me to water

your plants
or babysit Kaitlin.

Right, because you don't
take me seriously

as a working woman,
as a designer.

You're not really
experienced, qualified.

Before I had Marissa,
I was doing lots of design work.

You had Marissa
when you were 18.

Your usual model home designer
fell out at the last minute.

I know you have no one.

Caleb. Pillow talk. He thought
the idea was inspired.

Well, it's-it's definitely
thinking outside the box.

He told me he's staying
out of it, though.

That it's up to you.
Look, one house, one shot.

If I screw up you can fire me
yourself. It's a win-win.

[laughing]

Hi. What's so funny?

Danny. He's, like,
the funniest guy ever.

Yeah? Hey, man. I'm Seth.
Good to meet you.

Ugh! I see your yellowtail
is not as fresh as mine.

Dare to taste my albacore?

[laughing]

He's, like, straight out
of a Bruce Lee movie.

Hey, who took the jelly
out of your doughnut?

Somebody call CSI, we got
ourselves a cold one here, huh.

- CSI!
- Hey, tag that toe.

Alright, well,
somebody call ER.

I think Luke's gonna
bust a gut.

♪ He's so far out
he fits right in ♪

♪ He's so far out
that he fits right in ♪♪

- I don't get it.
- Hey.

Looks like we both got tuna.

Mine's just...raw
and missing cheese.

- Time for class.
- Okay.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Hey, don't fall in.

[laughing]

Hey.

Is this seat available?

- Sure. Yeah.
- Wow.

- I'm so behind already.
- I know the feeling.

Does junior year
ever get easier?

I thought you were a senior.

Not a good one and Harbor
being as competitive as it is

not all my credits
are transferred.

But you still wanted
to come here?

Wasn't up to me.
My parents insisted.

'I put the paperwork
in a while ago.'

Why transfer at all?

A little over a semester
from graduating?

It just wasn't working
for me at Pacific.

Because?

Because...there was
an incident.

What kind of incident?

Look, I've made
some mistakes in my life.

I don't think that's
a surprise. Or a secret.

But if, if you could just
give me a chance, Ryan.

Just let me in,
like I know people let you in.

I could finally start over.
That's really all I want.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

Hey.

Oh, so, Ryan I thought

maybe we could go to
Oliver's after school.

- Order in some room service.
- Yeah. You wanna come?

I was gonna help him
with his French.

French? Didn't you live
in Paris for a couple of years?

A year.
When I was 13.

And you need Marissa
to help you?

Well, sweet-talking
my way into a club

isn't the same
as conjugating the infinitive.

Right. You guys go ahead. I told
Seth I'd meet him back home.

[instrumental music]

- You sure you don't wanna come?
- Yeah. I trust you.

You should.

- I don't trust him.
- Trust who?

Summer's new boyfriend
or whatever.

Something just sort of
seems off about him.

- Off how?
- I don't know.

He's just not funny.

You know what I'm talking
about, right? He's big.

But big isn't necessarily
funny. It's cheap.

He said there was
an incident.

- Big funny guy did?
- No. Oliver.

Ah, dude, please,
can we forget Oliver

for five seconds
and talk about me?

It's the reason he left Pacific.
What if he's violent?

Jeez. New guy shows up.
Violent. Angry.

Prone to punching people.
That'd be really weird.

He needs Marissa to help him
with French. He lived in France.

Okay, you're right,
we should call the cops.

Because Oliver lost his
grasp on the subjunctive.

- Fajitas are served.
- Oh!

Nothing adds up. And if I try
to say anything to Marissa..

Uh-uh.

Maybe there's somebody
I could talk to.

Yeah, okay or we could
just break into the file room

and steal his bio, okay?

Or you can be a grownup,
forget about it

and move on, okay,
like I am, to the fajitas.

Hey, what are you doing?

I don't think I need to explain
what a serious offense this is.

We understand and believe me
when I tell you.

- Ryan will be punished.
- I'm afraid it won't end there.

This matter will be presented
to the disciplinary committee.

Suspension, even expulsion
are not out of the question.

Of course, the school must do
what it deems appropriate.

But, I beg you to understand
that this is

very uncharacteristic of Ryan.

Indeed. Mr. Atwood and Harbor
seem like a remarkably good fit.

Which leads me to wonder,
why would you do this?

I just..
I don't trust this kid.

Oliver.
He seems suspicious.

And suddenly,
he's going here now.

I assure you,
Oliver went through the same

screening processes
as any other student here.

He has a history
of instability.

I was concerned...
for Marissa.

[Kim]
'Has he ever made
any threats to her?'

Anything to warrant your
suspicions?

No, but he's been spending
a lot of time with her.

And, um, there's this letter
in his file..

A confidential letter.

It says they found him

in the men's bathroom at Pacific

having cut his wrists..

...over a girl.

She filed a restraining order.
That's why he left.

- Is this true?
- Two years ago.

Since then he's
been institutionalized.

And everyone involved
in Mr. Trask's rehabilitation..

...believed his best chance
was a change in his environment.

And the school was receptive
to him despite his history?

Harbor is known
to make exceptions

for students
with troubled backgrounds

but who show
extraordinary promise.

- I'm sorry.
- We are too.

We will see you at 3 p.m.
for detention, which you will

attend every day until the
committee reaches its verdict.

- Well, thank you, Dr. Kim.
- Thank you.

- Seth. Hey.
- Hey.

- I have a surprise for you.
- Really?

Two tickets to see
Bright Eyes.

We've never seen them before,
so I thought it'd be different.

- Bright Eyes, really?
- Yes.

- Summer, you got. Right there.
- Where?

Oh!

- Hey.
- Hey, you guys.

- Hey, Summer. Hi, Danny.
- Hey. Oh, Seth.

You got a little nasty there.

- Okay.
- No, seriously.

You got a...tuna stain
or something.

Well, I'll be sure
tonight to get it washed.

Seth, seriously, all kidding
aside you've got something there

and I think you're gonna
wanna clean it up.

Seth, you do have
something there.

- What?
- 'Bloop!'

[laughing]
You got me.

God, isn't he, like,
the funniest guy ever?

- Yes.
- Hey.

You wanna come over later?
I TiVo-ed Leno.

Sure.

God. Who watches Leno?
That explains everything.

Explains what?

Why that Danny guy
is so not funny.

- He's funny.
- No, he's not funny, okay?

- He's big. Big is not funny.
- Whatever.

Seth. Friday night.
Bright Eyes?

Anyone can be big.
That's kinda my point.

Right? Being obvious, there's
no accomplishment in that.

- What?
- You're jealous.

Of Danny's comedy?
No, sweetie, I'm not.

No, of Danny.

If you weren't,
you'd be happy for Summer.

You'd embrace the friend.

I love this place. All it needs
is a little nip and a tuck.

Yeah, but are we the right
doctors for the job?

Hands of a surgeon. Come on,
Coop. Get excited. Get involved.

We'll blow this wall out,
we'll make it all one room.

You know, big leather booths.
Keep it dark, but not too dark.

You know, just like it was
for Bogie and Bacall.

Oh-oh, you're serious about
this, aren't you?

Yeah. Now, what do you got?

Well, you know they used to have
great live music here.

- I like it. What? Cabaret?
- Actually, jazz.

Jazz works. That's good.

- How about a raw bar?
- Okay.

- As long as it feels timeless.
- Oh, yeah! It will.

Gary Cooper was a big oyster
man. And a big drinker.

Okay, okay, so no frou-frou
drinks. No, no umbrellas.

No fruit wedges. Nothing Gary
wouldn't approve of.

- Only one kind of martini.
- Thank you.

And only the finest Scotch.

Now, we're gonna have
to have meat loaf on the menu.

My mother makes
the greatest meat loaf.

And, and I can get the recipe.

No, my mother makes,
the greatest meat loaf.

- And I have the recipe.
- Oh!

There can be two meat
loafs on the menu.

We'll make restaurant history.

Hello, Lighthouse.
Your ship has come in.

Okay, now, you know where you're
going for the slate, yes?

Brenda Antin
has the sea grass mats

and Betsie von Toff
is going to do the flowers.

Hydrangeas only, people.
Okay.

We have 72 hours
to make this open house.

I want a full progress report
and POs today.

Let's get it done. Go.

Oh! Hey. Sorry about your
office, Kiki.

I needed a base camp for
Operation Model Home.

Okay, Julie,
I think maybe a little bit

you've lost your mind,
this is a disaster.

Kirsten, if you stopped
open heart surgery

halfway through
it would look like murder.

You have 72 hours. I gave you
a list of the usual vendors.

See, there's that word, "Usual."

What I'm doing is special.

It's inspired.

You're never gonna get
done in time.

Good. Thanks for puttin' that
out in the universe.

All you need for this open house
is a few accent rugs

a couch, maybe a potted plant.

- 'We're selling a space.'
- Well, I'm selling a lifestyle.

Kirsten, the Newport Group
should be an aspirational brand.

"Aspirational?"
Is that even a word?

Look, I know it seems ambitious.

And it'll be expensive,
but sometimes..

...you gotta spend money
to make money.

Hey, are you hungry?
I'm starved.

[indistinct chatter]

[intense music]

Why'd you do it?

If they vote to expel you
there's nothing we can do.

You will have taken this
opportunity and tanked it.

And why, why?

Are you jealous
of this Oliver kid?

No. No, I'm not jealous.

Look, you guys may not believe
me. No one may believe me.

The first time I met the kid,
he was in jail.

You said, he has a medical
history. You're right.

Okay. He's trouble. Now you're
the one who might be expelled.

If only you had come to us.

I wanted to deal with it myself.

- Well done!
- Do you know how hard we..

You worked to get
into that school?

[Sandy]
'You can't help Marissa.
You can't even help yourself.'

Okay. I screwed up,
yet again.

So now what?

You gonna kick me out?

You think you can
mess up so bad

we'll just give up on you?
You can't.

'You're a part of
this family now'

'and you're gonna feel
the full weight of that.'

You're gonna wish
we threw you out.

Hey, man.

I couldn't help but overhear.
Actually, I was eavesdropping.

They're pretty pissed, huh?

- Yeah, well, I deserved it.
- Yeah?

Well, good. So this is over
then, though?

I mean, lesson learned
and all that?

Today I saw Oliver
give Marissa a letter.

Which she put in her locker.

And seeing Oliver
do this inspired you

to write a letter of your own?

So this is Oliver's letter?

That Marissa
asked you to mail?

- I took it from her locker.
- Dude, what is wrong with you?

- You haven't read it? Have you?
- No, not yet.

Not yet. Not ever.
You can't read it.

Okay.
You have to put it back.

What if he's after her? He's a
sick kid. He could hurt her.

Oliver has not done anything to
Marissa except be her friend.

Okay, stop it. You're in enough
trouble already.

And honestly, you're starting
to freak me out a little bit.

Just.. Will you promise me
that you will put it back?

Will you promise me
that you will put it back?

- Put it back.
- I will.

Put it back.

Hey, man.

Okay, I know everything
you said last night

but I need to talk to you.

- You read it?
- It's worse than I imagined.

Oh, no, please don't.

He says he can't live
without her.

I don't care,
I don't wanna hear it.

That letter's like "The Ring."

Anyone who reads it
is gonna die.

Plus, not to mention it's
also a federal offense.

- Okay. I'm being serious.
- So am I. Okay?

That is Marissa's letter
that you stole

from her locker and read

if she finds out,
you guys are done.

Okay.
I get that but Oliver.

Oliver might be crazy. You might
be right but you know what?

Right now, you're giving him
a run for his money.

[knocking on door]

- 'Hey, Seth. Is Ryan in there?'
- Yeah. Hey.

Hey.
What are you guys doing?

Ryan was just waxing my back.
Could you give us a second?

- It sort of stinks.
- Yeah, sure.

I just wanted to know if
maybe after school today

you wanted to take that
cooking lesson with Oliver?

Uh, I can't, I'm helping
Kirsten move furniture

in the new model home.

[phone ringing]

Julie?

[sighs]

It's a disaster.

What was all that
about open heart surgery?

I lost the patient.

- What happened?
- It's what didn't happen.

No slate. No bubbling fountains.
No sea grass.

Hydrangeas are out of season.

We have 48 hours until the open
house and we have nothing.

- We can fix this.
- No, we can't.

Way to put that
into the universe, Julie.

I'll call my vendors.
It may not be anything special.

It may not be aspirational.

God, I don't give a rat's ass.
If Caleb sees that house empty..

He won't. But you gotta be ready
to work. Get your hands dirty.

Manicure's not till Friday.

Hey, can I have
a orange-peel smoothie

with a splash of pineapple,
please?

I'll have the same.

Except with some
strawberry and banana.

[laughing]

Mr. Palmer totally looks
like a pterodactyl.

God, he does impersonations?

Hey, why you all up
in my Kool-Aid

not even knowing the flavor?

- Hey, Summer.
- What?

- You know who wants a smoothie?
- Who?

- Mr. Chuckle!
- No! Oh, my God.

Uh, Danny. Hey, man,
what are you doing after school?

Do you wanna maybe come over
and hang out at my house?

I've TiVo-ed some Leno.
Seann William Scott's on.

Oh, Leno. Sean William Scott.
Nice. Double the comedy.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't see it.

[door bell ringing]

- Hey, man.
- Hey!

I thought you were in court.

No, it's a
settlement conference.

I almost never go
to court anymore.

So order up some
martinis and meat loaf.

We got ourselves a restaurant.

Well, I thought you'd be
a little more excited.

- I mean, what'd you do?
- I put a down payment on it.

Tomorrow we go sign
the title.

Look, I haven't had a chance

to come up with
my share of the money, okay?

Oh, no, I covered it.

Listen, we can work out a get
even scheme once we're afloat.

- So, what? I work for you?
- 'Oh, Jimmy, come on.'

Man, you're one click away

from manning the mechanical bull
at the new cowboy bar.

Look, I just, wanna be able
to pull my own weight.

'You've already done enough
for me as it is.'

Look, I'm not doing it
just for you.

This could mean freedom
for both of us.

You could stay in Newport
at a job you like

and, oh, it'd give me
a break from all

my rich spoiled clients
and the office politics.

- We could work for ourselves.
- I don't know, Sandy.

I just, I think
I need little more time to..

How much more time do you need?

It's too fast. It's too soon.

Okay. Great. Great.
I got an idea.

Let's wait till we're dead.

I gotta go settle.

That is so cool
that you know Marissa's combo.

Shows a lot of trust,
you know.

- Yeah, well, for emergencies.
- Oh, yeah?

What's the emergency?
Ran out of erasers?

No more ink left in your pen?

No, it's a book I forgot.

Just kidding around, man.

Yo..

...last class of the day
is so tough to get through.

- Feel you on that one.
- What's up?

Hey, uh, Marissa and I
were talking about putting

together a camping trip.

Like, Santa Monica mountains?

Bring the whole gang?

- Sure. Yeah.
- Sounds awesome, man.

Alright. I'll let her
know that you are in.

Oh, long bathroom break.
I should go. See you.

I do not like that kid at all.

Yeah.
Don't you think that, uh..

He's here for Marissa.
Hell, yeah.

You gotta let that guy know,
back off.

I'll do it for you,
if you want.

- I'll keep that in mind.
- Well, just give me the word.

And I will
drop the Great Gatsby.

Did your mama teach you
how to play this game?

You didn't think I'd pack
the heat, did you?

'You think you can just
get me here, huh?'

Home court advantage.
Well, guess what?

Who's got the secret codes?
Danny does.

Guess what, buddy.
You are punked.

There's a camera there, camera
there and a camera right there.

Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy?

Hey, kid, settlement happened

sooner than I thought.

Hey, oh, good.
This is my friend Danny.

Hey.
How are you? I'm Sandy.

- Why don't you take a shower?
- Pardon me?

Just kidding.
I like you dirty.

Sandy. Dirty. Sandy. Dirty.

- Woah! That kid is not funny.
- Thank you. I know.

- He makes Ryan look funny.
- He makes Marissa look funny.

Gentiles. I love your mother
more than words, but not funny.

Get yourself
some funnier friends.

- There you are.
- Oh, thanks, man.

- Sure.
- I'm so parched.

Oh, dude. Have you seen
my impression of Mr. Parker?

Yes. Pterodactyl.
I've seen it. It's good.

Hey, listen, man. Can I,
can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Whenever you're around Summer

could you..

This is weird, but could you try
and be a little less funny?

Man, all I ever hear from her
is how funny Seth Cohen is.

How he's the funniest guy
she's ever met.

I mean, I like her so much
and I'm just..

I'm killing myself
to hang in there.

She said that about me,
that she thinks

I'm the funniest guy ever?

Yes, you and some dude

named Captain Oats.

Who the hell is Captain Oats?

Well, chin up, Danny.
Because you know what?

I think you're funny,
I just think

and if you don't mind
me saying so..

...that you could go a little
bigger with your comedy.

I think you're sort of small,
a little under the radar.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, big's hilarious.

- Big.
- Yeah.

Alright, man. Thanks.
Yeah, I'll give that a shot.

- Give it a shot.
- I'll give it a shot!

Hey!

Thanks for making time
for me after school.

- I know how busy you are.
- Of course. What's going on?

Why don't you have a seat.

So, I know this is
a little outside

'my job description as dean.'

I felt I had a responsibility

to have an honest
conversation with you.

What is it?

I need to talk to you about

one of our transfer students

with whom I know
you have a relationship.

And who I worry might
not be so stable.

I appreciate it, Dr. Kim.

But I'm all aware
of Oliver's issues.

It's not Oliver
I want to talk about.

[clock's ticking]

[male #1]
'Detention's over, gentlemen.
See you tomorrow.'

I thought you were
helping Kirsten.

- I got detention.
- I see that. What for?

I failed this chemistry quiz,
slacking off on some homework.

That's a lie.

- What are you talking about?
- I heard about what happened.

Your break-in.

- I did it to protect you.
- What?

- What are you talking about?
- I don't trust him.

And he has a history of girls,
he's obsessed with.

He's not obsessed with me.

You know, ever since he showed
up, you never trusted him.

And okay, that's who you are
but you have to trust me.

- The kid has serious issues.
- Who doesn't?

- He's in love with you.
- We're just friends.

Yeah.

Then, what's this?

Where did you get this?

You stole it from my locker?

I've been looking
everywhere for this.

So, you know what this is?
What this says?

I can't believe you.

I can't believe you stole it.
You read it.

I'm sorry, but, how can you say
he's not in love with you?

Because he didn't write it
to me. He wrote it to Natalie.

He wants to get back
together with her.

And he just wanted me
to read it first.

- Look, I'm sorry.
- I can't do this anymore.

Because now...
I don't trust you.

- Morning.
- 'Good morning.'

You okay?

Well, I'm supposed to sign

the title on
The Lighthouse today.

I can't believe
you're buying a restaurant.

Funny. That's what Jimmy said
just before he backed out.

He did?

I mean, I know
the whole idea seems crazy

but I thought that was
part of the appeal.

Well, what are you gonna do?

I'm just gonna have to see

if I can buy a little time

and not lose the place.

Well, you can always hire
Julie as a partner.

I think she'll be available.

I've to show my father
the model home this morning.

And we had no time
to pull it together.

I believe he will
be underwhelmed.

Well, the Coopers sure keep
things unpredictable, huh?

No. I predicted that
Julie would be fired.

Top of the morning to you, son.

You talked to Ryan last night?

Uh, no, he just came home
and went straight to bed.

Hey. Do you want
something to eat?

'You missed dinner.
You must be hungry.'

Hey, man, what time's
Marissa picking you up?

'Cause I was gonna maybe
go early with Anna.

Marissa's not picking me up.

- He hasn't called yet.
- I know.

Is it bad that he
hasn't called yet?

It doesn't mean anything.

[female #1]
'Here you go, Mr. Nichol.'

- Hello.
- Hi, Cal.

Hey, dad.

Well, I just got back
from the new development.

Look, it was short notice

and Julie did the best
she could, considering..

You're preaching to
the converted. I loved it.

The decor was simple, classic.
Just the way I like it.

It allows the architecture and
the views to sell themselves.

- You're happy?
- You're happy?

Pleased as punch,
how Julie here hit one out

of the park on her first swing.

What can I say?
It's, it's my true passion.

[Caleb]
'Well, now your passion's
your job.'

Kiki, you can stop looking
for a new decorator.

We've found our girl.

- We have?
- We have?

The fact that you two
are such close friends

just makes the decision
all easier.

It'd be fun. You two working
together, side by side.

Have you lost your mind, Kiki?
That thing is unsightly.

Well, who could have
predicted this?

- Hey, Summer.
- Hey, Cohen.

How are you?

- Okay.
- Yeah?

It's just Danny.

I mean, he was, like,
really funny, right?

And now, all of a sudden,
he's gotten like...big.

Hey, Seth. Check it out!

[male #2]
'Get off me!'

- Now, that's funny.
- Yeah.

Well, that's the end of him.

I guess I really
will end up

bitter and alone.

Hey.
I'm sorry.

And I thought he was
a good one.

But I guess people
can be really unpredictable.

You know?

- 'Hey.'
- Hey.

- Nice scarf.
- You too.

So, it's croque-monsieur
Thursday.

Yes, it is.

But I was thinking
of having fish sticks.

I was gonna have
peanut butter and jelly.

That's great.
Well, I'm gonna just go wash up.

- We'll go eat?
- Okay.

- Alright. Bye.
- Bye.

- Well, I'm gonna go.
- Yeah, well.

I have to go ice
big funny guy, so..

Well, if you're
ever feeling, you know

too bitter and lonely,
I TiVo-ed some daily shows.

I know Jon Stewart's
no Leno.

Thanks.

My dad died
and left me this place.

I never thought
I'd have to sell it.

Such a magical spot
when I was a kid.

So, don't sell it.

Give me a little more
time to find a partner.

Sandy, I got two other
offers on the table.

I can't wait any longer.

I understand.

I'm not too late, am I?

- Who's this?
- My partner.

I found him.

Listen, that whole conversation
we just had about

not wanting to buy the place,
forget it.

Look, uh, you know,
this could fail.

I mean, you know,
I could fail, again.

I pretty much only
have a legacy of failure.

I could be responsible
for ruining this place

ruining our friendship.

Jimmy.
Just sign it.

So, I heard what happened
between you and Marissa.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.
- No, it's not.

I was wrong about you.

Well, I mean, did you think
I came here because of Marissa?

What, because I'm in
love with her?

Yeah. No. I..

It was crazy.

Here's the deal, Ryan.

And it's nothing personal.

But Marissa and I,
we just connect.

She understands me,
gets me.

And hey, I don't know if there's
only one person on the planet

you're supposed to be with.

But when she and I are together

it sure feels that way.

You know, I'm sorry.

But you and Marissa?
Come on, man.

- You're from different worlds.
- You stay away from her.

You can't fight fate, man.

I mean, I didn't even
have to lift a finger

and look what happened
to you guys.

Because you're not supposed
to be together.

I'm not saying you didn't
serve your purpose.

And if it wasn't for you, she
would've never gone to therapy.

She never would've met me.

I'm not gonna let this happen.

At this point,
who's gonna believe you?

Walk away.

You have a chance to really make
something of yourself.

Don't blow it over some chick

you're not gonna
care about in ten years.

Okay? I really am sorry.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Back off!

Back off!

Stay away from her!
Stay away from her!
